Israel Seeks US Support for IDF Buildup as Expert Predicts Iran Strike

Sat, 04/15/2023 - 13:00

The Democrat party is the party of antisemitism. Good luck with that.

Israel should assume that they will receive no support from the Biden Administration, whose appeasement of Iran continues apace. The question now one must ask is this? Which Biden catastrophe will happen first? China invading Taiwan, or Israel bombing Iran. Once again, never would have happened under President Trump. Dangerous times.

Israel seeks US support for IDF buildup as expert predicts Iran strike

Army orients IDF batteries in the direction of Syria, Lebanon – report

By Jerusalem Post, April 14, 2023

A top defense official sought United States support to bolster IDF forces as a security expert on Thursday predicted that Israel might have to strike Iran within the year to halt its nuclear program.

“We held important meetings to promote significant projects focused on force buildup in the face of emerging security challenges – first and foremost, the Iranian nuclear program,” Defense Ministry Director-General Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Eyal Zamir said.

House Republicans Led by Rep. Andy Biggs Introduce Bills to Defund Manhattan DA Office

Sat, 04/15/2023 - 12:00

A group of House Republicans led by Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., moved to defund Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg after he indicted former President Donald Trump on bogus criminal charges last week.

There is something terrible wrong with the America system of “justice” if radical District Attorneys wield the powers of their office as a club against good and the innocent, while aiding, abetting and releasing violent criminals onto our streets.

Rep. Andy Biggs has introduced two bills to defund the Manhattan District Attorney’s (DA) Office following the indictment of President Donald Trump.

“As the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, I will not allow District Attorney Alvin Bragg to misuse federal resources sent by Congress to fund the weaponized prosecution of a former U.S. president, while blatantly ignoring soaring crime in New York City.

“Bragg has repeatedly made clear his top priority as District Attorney is to leverage the legal system to target conservatives,” Biggs said. “I will use every tool I have to protect conservatives and to restore impartiality in our judicial institutions.”

Biggs introduced two bills on April 13 intended to address these concerns.

Rep. Biggs Introduces Bills to Defund Manhattan DA Office

By: Truth Press, April 15

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) has introduced two bills to defund the Manhattan District Attorney’s (DA) Office following the indictment of President Donald Trump.

Trump was indicted in early April on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. But critics have called the case “weak,” suggesting political motives behind the move.

In a comment emailed to the Epoch Times about the bills, Biggs wrote:

“As the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, I will not allow District Attorney Alvin Bragg to misuse federal resources sent by Congress to fund the weaponized prosecution of a former U.S. president, while blatantly ignoring soaring crime in New York City.

“Bragg has repeatedly made clear his top priority as District Attorney is to leverage the legal system to target conservatives,” Biggs said. “I will use every tool I have to protect conservatives and to restore impartiality in our judicial institutions.”

Biggs introduced two bills on April 13 intended to address these concerns.

The first bill, the Accountability for Lawless Violence In Our Neighborhoods Act, or the ALVIN Act, would prohibit federal funds from being awarded to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and requires the Office to repay federal funds granted after Jan. 1, 2022.

The second bill, the No Federal Funds for Political Prosecutions Act, would prohibit state or local law enforcement agencies from using funds or property seized through asset forfeiture to investigate or prosecute the president, vice president, or a candidate for the office of president in a criminal case.

Biggs added that it was concerning to see the Manhattan DA’s office wasting federal resources for political purposes instead of addressing serious crimes in the city.

“[W]ith an almost insurmountable national debt that exceeds $31 trillion, the nation simply cannot afford to support Mr. Bragg’s politicization of the criminal justice system,” Biggs said.

New York City, like most other metropolitan areas across the United States, has seen a major spike in violent crimes over the past two years.

Following the death of George Floyd, fringe positions like defunding the police and minimizing penalties for violent crime became more mainstream among many left-wing prosecutors and DAs.

As DA, Bragg has reduced more than half of the felony charges that came through his office to misdemeanors. Republicans say this approach to law enforcement is in part responsible for the massive increase in violent crime.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has indicated his own opposition to the prosecution of Trump. Thus, the bill could stand for a vote in the lower chamber.

Prospects for the bills are less sanguine in the Senate, where Democrats hold the majority. Democrats are likely to oppose the legislation, as they have accused Republicans of attempting to meddle in a legal matter.

Minneapolis Becomes First Major US City to Allow Broadcast of 5 Islamic Calls to Prayer

Fri, 04/14/2023 - 16:00

The US city of Minneapolis has passed a resolution allowing for the adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, to be broadcast year-round over loudspeakers.  In 2004, Hamtramck, Michigan, became the first city to legalise the public call to prayer, followed by Dearborn, where Muslims are a majority. Accommodation always gives to more demands, more accommodation. Anywhere islamic law and western law conflict, it is always Western law that must give way.

The cacophony kicks off at dawn.

Muslim represent  less than 3% of the population of Minneapolis. Wrap your head around that.

Council member Lisa Goodman said “I am thrilled that my colleagues have brought forward this ordinance change today because what I learn at my temple … is that the importance of interfaith dialog and understanding transcends everything else.” Clearly, Goodman is unaware that Christians and Jews are cursed seventeen times a day in their daily prayers.

Minneapolis City Council votes to allow five muslim calls to prayer

The resolution, which passed unanimously, will allow some previously prohibited morning and evening calls to be broadcast publically.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Minneapolis became the first major city in America to allow the Islamic call to prayer to be broadcast from mosques publicly for each of the five daily prayers after a unanimous vote by the City Council Thursday.

The resolution, authored by Council member Aisha Chughtai, one of three Muslim representatives of the 13-member council, amended the noise violation exemption related to sounds associated with religious worship.

“It is really important for us at the city to approach all issues from a lens of ensuring equal access for all people. And that’s what we’ve really done here. This is an item that benefits people of all faith,” she said just before the vote.

The Minnesota chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations had helped push for the change, which allowed some morning and evening calls that had previously been prohibited.

“This is a historic victory for religious freedom and pluralism for our entire nation. We thank the members of the Minneapolis City Council for setting this great example, and we urge other cities to follow it,” CAIR-MN Executive Director Jaylani Hussein said in a press release.

HERO: Trump Grilled for 7 Hours in AG Letitia James’ State Case, “Describing in Detail his Extraordinary Business Success.”

The relentless political persecution of President Trump by far left racist radicals is the death knell of a once great now crime riddled banana republic of a city.

A lawyer for Trump’s business said the Republican presidential contender spent nearly all seven hours “describing in detail his extraordinary business success.”

Trump grilled for 7 hours in AG Letitia James’ state fraud case

By Allie Griffin, NY Post, April 14, 2023:

Former President Donald Trump was grilled for nearly seven hours Thursday during his second deposition in the $250 million civil case brought against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Trump, 76, was “not only willing but also eager to testify” during the meeting with James’ lawyers who questioned him about his company’s businesses practices, his attorney Alina Habba said as the Republican headed into the attorney general’s Manhattan office.

“He remains resolute in his stance that he has nothing to conceal, and he looks forward to educating the Attorney General about the immense success of his multi-billion dollar company,” Habba said.

The openness to talk is a staunch reversal from Trump’s previous deposition in the civil case last year when he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights hundreds of times in order to remain silent and avoid self-incrimination.

James claimed Trump and three of his children lied to banks about his net worth and overvalued his assets including his hotels and golf courses by billions.

Biden’s Deficit Tops $1 Trillion in First Six Months of 2023, UP 65% FROM LAST YEAR

Deficit Tops $1 Trillion in First Six Months of FY2023

By: Terence P. Jeffrey CNS | April 12, 2023 |

(CNSNews.com) – The federal deficit topped $1 trillion in the first six months of fiscal 2023 (October through March), according to the Monthly Treasury Statement released today.

This was despite the fact that federal tax revenues in the first six months of this fiscal year were $2,048,196,000,000, which was the second-highest in the nation’s history (when compared to the inflation-adjusted numbers for the tax revenues collected in the first six months of previous fiscal years).

From February to March, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement, the fiscal 2023 federal deficit increased by $378,077,000,000, climbing from $722,627,000,000 to $1,100,704,000,000.

So far, in fiscal 2023, while the federal government collected $2,048,196,000,000 in taxes, it spent $3,148,900,000,000—resulting in the deficit of $1,100,704,000,000.

When the historical budget numbers are adjusted for inflation into March 2023 dollars, it turns out that this year’s October-through-March federal deficit is the fourth largest in the nation’s history. In fiscal 2021, during the COVID pandemic, the October-through-March deficit was $1,944,334,490,000 in constant March 2023 dollars. That was the largest deficit the federal government has ever run in the first six months of a fiscal year.

The second-largest was in October-through-March of fiscal 2009, when the federal government ran a deficit that was $1,357,706,460,000 in constant March 2023 dollars. The third-largest was in October-through-March of fiscal 2011, when the federal government ran a deficit of $1,120,280,830,000 in constant March 2023 dollars.

In October-through-March of fiscal 2012, the federal government also ran a deficit that exceeded $1 trillion in constant March 2023 dollars. But that fiscal year’s first-six-month deficit of $1,024,999,220,000 in constant March 2023 dollars was less than this year’s six-month deficit of $1,100,704,000,000.

The $2,048,196,000,000 that the federal government collected in tax dollars in the first six months of this fiscal year was only exceeded by the $2,236,043,500,000 (in constant March 2023 dollars) that the federal government collected in taxes in the first six months of fiscal 2022.

Billionaire Democratic Megadonor Secretly Funded E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit Against Trump

Fri, 04/14/2023 - 12:30

Reid Hoffman, the billionaire behind LinkedIn who’s now a megadonor to Democrats, has been quietly bankrolling E. Jean Carroll’s rape case against former President Donald Trump, according to court records filed Thursday.

There is no justice in America anymore. The government has been overthrown and the country is painfully unaware of what’s happening.

LinkedIn is an oppressive platform. They ban anyone who opposes the fascists ruling this country. I have been banned for years. I was just allowed back on but banned again.

LinkedIn Founder Is Secretly Funding E. Jean Carroll’s Lawsuit Against Trump
85

By: Jose Pagliery, Yahoo News, April 13, 2023:

Reid Hoffman, the billionaire behind LinkedIn who’s now a megadonor to Democrats, has been quietly bankrolling E. Jean Carroll’s rape case against former President Donald Trump, according to court records filed Thursday.

The surprising last-minute disclosures came out in contentious correspondence between lawyers for the aggrieved journalist and the pissed off former president, who are battling over whether to delay the trial scheduled to start in two weeks.

While it’s unclear if that payment arrangement has any material impact on the case itself, the fact that it remained secret until now will surely support Trump’s unrelenting, conspiratorial complaints that ultra rich liberals have been pulling the strings on the efforts to take him down.

Hoffman is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who founded the professional social network LinkedIn. In recent years, Vox also identified him as a major Democratic donor who has made it his mission to loosen Trump’s control over the Republican Party. According to Insider, Hoffman’s distaste for Trump’s authoritarian and anti-democratic tendencies has even strained his personal relationship with another Silicon Valley staple, Peter Thiel, who has conversely fashioned himself as a bankroller of right-wing causes.

The Trump Team’s Startling Questions for E. Jean Carroll Jurors

Carroll, a longtime magazine columnist, claims Trump raped her in the dressing room of a luxury Manhattan department store in the 1990s. She wrote a tell-all memoir, Trump called her a liar from the White House, she sued him for defamation, and the case has been tied up in legal limbo for nearly four years. Now that New York passed a rape survivors law extending the statute of limitations on private civil lawsuits, Carroll sued again—this time seeking a trial that would potentially award her money, but more importantly brand the powerful real estate tycoon seeking a second presidential term as a rapist.

North Korea Tests a New Solid-Fuel ICBM

North Korea says it tested a new solid-fuel ICBM

By CNN, April 13, 2023

North Korea said it launched a new solid-fueled Hwasong-18 Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Thursday (local time), according to state media KCNA on Friday.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un guided the “first test launch of the new ICBM” and the launch had no “negative impact” to the safety of the neighboring countries, per KCNA. The missile also did a stage separation, it said.

Solid-fueled ICBMs are the state-of-the-art world standard, and can be moved more easily and launched quicker than a liquid-fueled rocket. The United States’ main ICBM, the Minuteman III, is powered by three solid-fueled rocket motors.

Activist Group Backed By Dem-Aligned Dark Money To Bankroll Popular Youth News Site

By: Trevor Schakohl, Daily Caller,  April 13, 2023

Vox Media’s left-wing, youth-focused news website NowThis is set to become an independent operation with funding from Accelerate Change, a nonprofit media group that has received significant support from Democrat-linked dark money donors.

NowThis, a brand with millions of followers across various topicfocused social media pages, will have its editorial and personnel operations independently managed, while Vox Media will hold minority ownership in tandem with Accelerate Change’s funding, Vox Media announced Wednesday. Accelerate Change got more than $2 million from the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Hopewell Fund in 2019 and $300,000 from the 501(c)(3) New Venture Fund from 2020 to 2021.

Accelerate Change says it works to “scale and invest in emergent and established cultural media properties,” and NowThis has developed a prominent presence in digital media.

NowThis is known for posting short, political videos on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, with a significant portion of its content showing Republicans in a negative light or positively portraying Democrats. Some of the videos have garnered millions of views, and the NowThis TikTok team received the 2021 Shorty Impact Award for best social media team.

NowThis published a video clip in January 2020 that featured a George Washington University student saying Anne Frank “didn’t die in a concentration camp,” but subsequently removed it and reported that the student “misspoke,” according to the Jewish Journal. In June 2016, NowThis posted a highly edited video of comments that then-presidential candidate Donald Trump made in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub that month, prompting another Facebook page to say, “They’re trying their best to make him look bad. … This page is completely dishonest, and [has] no integrity.”

Biden Regime Cracks Down on Air Conditioners as War on Appliances Continues

Thu, 04/13/2023 - 16:00

The Democrats' war on happiness continues.

The destructive Democrats condemn industry, technology, the intellect, and want to return us to the state of grunting subanimals digging the soil with our bare hands.

“The dinosaur and its fellow-creatures vanished from this earth long before there were any industrialists or any men . . . . But this did not end life on earth. Contrary to the ecologists, nature does not stand still and does not maintain the kind of “equilibrium” that guarantees the survival of any particular species—least of all the survival of her greatest and most fragile product: man.”
(Ayn Rand)

Back in the 1970s, Ayn Rand warned, “It has been reported in the press many times that the issue of the environement is to be the next big crusade of the New Left activists, after the war in Vietnam peters out. And just as peace was not their goal or motive in that crusade, so clean air is not their goal or motive in this one.”

Biden admin cracks down on air conditioners as war on appliances continues

Government mandates ‘enforce a level of efficiency that doesn’t make sense,’ energy expert says
Thomas Catenacci

By Thomas Catenacci | Fox News

The Biden administration announced its latest home appliance regulations this week, targeting air conditioners in an action it said would reduce the nation’s carbon emissions.

The regulations, unveiled Thursday by the Department of Energy (DOE), finalize energy efficiency standards for home air conditioning units, or window air conditioners, and portable air cleaners. The DOE said the move would cut air pollution and push consumer costs down by billions of dollars via energy savings.

“Today’s announcement builds on the historic actions President Biden took last year to strengthen outdated energy efficiency standards, which will help save on people’s energy bills and reduce our nation’s carbon footprint,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.

“DOE will continue to engage with our public and private sector partners to finalize additional proposals like today’s that lower household energy costs and deliver the safer, healthier communities that every American deserves,” she continued.

According to the DOE, the new energy efficiency standards will save Americans about $1.5 billion annually and curb carbon dioxide emissions by 106 million metric tons over three decades. The agency added that the regulations were part of President Biden’s efforts to promote innovation and lower costs for families “while tackling the climate crisis.”

The rules for air cleaners are scheduled to be implemented in 2024 and the rules for room air conditioners are slated for 2026.

DEMOCRATS, ECO GROUPS TAKE AIM AT OTHER HOME APPLIANCES AMID GAS STOVE DEBATE

Over the last several months, meanwhile, the DOE has introduced a series of energy efficiency regulations impacting various home appliances including gas stoves, ovens, clothes washers and refrigerators. Critics have blasted the rules as federal overreach and unnecessary given that the industry has improved technology without government intervention.

Despite Iranian Attack Killing American Abroad, Biden Chases Nuclear Deal With Mullahs

Thu, 04/13/2023 - 15:00

The Biden Administration continues to appease Iran, in their desperate attempts to revive the fatally flawed Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA). A deal that will enable Iran to manufacture nukes and fund more terrorism. Biden’s appeasement of Iran will leave Israel with no other choice but to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities. By the way, a stronger Iran would mean a much stronger China.

The Iranian regime’s recent drone attack on an American base in Syria, which resulted in the murder of a U.S. contractor, has not deterred the Biden administration from pursuing the controversial nuclear pact with Tehran that would dramatically enrich the coffers of the Islamic Republic.

The White House remains wedded to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – the formal name for the Iran nuclear deal – that “would allow Tehran to access up to $275 billion in financial benefits during its first year in effect and $1 trillion by 2030.”

Biden Torched for Cracking Down on Gas Cars, Mandating Buying Electric Vehicles: ‘Biden’s Newest Power Grab’

Thu, 04/13/2023 - 13:00

The Biden Democrat regime doesn’t give a damn about the environment. Hell, they blew up the Nord Stream in what is the greatest man made environmental disaster in history. Now he’s blowing up American strength – the American economy.

The Biden regime (John Kerry) wants to mandate the purchase of electric vehicles. Only 19% of Americans intend to purchase an electric vehicle because of the high costs, lack of infrastructure, long charging times, etc. If this proposal goes through it will gift much of our auto industry to China, since that is where the materials required to manufacture electric vehicles come from. How can anyone in the rust belt support the Biden Administration in 2024? This dangerous proposal must be stopped.

Biden Looking to Impose Additional Limitations on Tailpipes on Vehicles
Wall Street Journal: The Biden administration is proposing new limits on vehicle tailpipe emissions, seeking to spur U.S. auto makers to generate two-thirds of their sales through electric vehicles in a decade. The new standards for light-duty vehicles, announced Wednesday by the Environmental Protection Agency, will apply to the 2027 to 2032 model years. They would be the nation’s toughest-ever restrictions on car pollution and one of President Biden’s most aggressive moves yet to combat climate change. The proposal moves beyond Mr. Biden’s ambitious target for half of all new-vehicle sales to be electric-powered by 2030. The EPA projects that the EVs could account for 67% of new- vehicle sales by the 2032 model year (Wall Street Journal).
National Review: The aggressive plans raise a number of concerns for automakers and consumers. Gas-powered vehicles still make up over 90 percent of the market share of new vehicles, reflecting the fact that electric vehicles are more expensive (National Review).

Former President Donald Trump is suing his former lawyer Michael Cohen for more than $500 million, according to a filing in a Florida court Wednesday.

Newsmax has confirmed the filing through a source familiar with Trump’s legal team. The lawsuit is unrelated to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s 34-count indictment of Trump for falsifying business records.

Cohen testified before a Manhattan grand jury that later indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

House Republicans Set Hearing on Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s ‘Pro-Crime’ Policies

By Jackson Richman, The Epoch Times, April 10, 2023:

The House Judiciary Committee announced on April 10 it will hold a field hearing in New York City on April 17 to discuss Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, just weeks after the unprecedented indictment and arraignment of former President Donald Trump in Bragg’s district.

The hearing is titled “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan.”

Bragg has come under fire, mainly from conservatives and the GOP, for what those critics say are “soft on crime” policies. The hearing, according to the committee, “will examine how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s pro-crime, anti-victim policies have led to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for New York City residents.”

Bragg’s office has fired back at the scheduled hearing, calling it a “political stunt.”

“This hearing won’t engage in actual efforts to increase public safety, such as supporting national gun legislation and shutting down the iron pipeline,” a spokesperson for the office said in a statement posted on Twitter.

Shortly after taking office, Bragg issued a memo to his staffers stating that the district attorney’s office will not prosecute, among numerous offenses, marijuana misdemeanors, public transportation fare evasion, most trespassing violations, resisting arrest, and prostitution. Bragg also announced the downgrading of certain offenses including possession of a non-firearm weapon, both residential and commercial burglaries, and drug cases.

Republicans have pointed out the incongruence of Bragg’s leniency for these crimes versus his prosecution of Trump for allegedly falsifying business records.

Trump was arraigned on April 4 on a 34-count indictment, to which he pleaded not guilty, over his alleged role in the payment of hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign. On his social media site, Truth Social, Trump has called Bragg’s prosecution a “WITCH HUNT” and said that the district attorney should “INDICT HIMSELF.”

“The People of the State of New York allege that Donald J. Trump repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election,” said Bragg in a statement released by his office.

“Manhattan is home to the country’s most significant business market. We cannot allow New York businesses to manipulate their records to cover up criminal conduct,” he continued. “As the statement of facts describes, the trail of money and lies exposes a pattern that, the People allege, violates one of New York’s basic and fundamental business laws.

“As this office has done time and time again, we today uphold our solemn responsibility to ensure that everyone stands equal before the law.”
GOP Probes

A field hearing occurs when a committee holds a hearing outside of its committee room on Capitol Hill. The House Judiciary hearing is scheduled to be held at the Javits Federal Building in Manhattan.

Since a New York grand jury voted on March 30 to indict Trump, Republicans have vowed to hold Bragg accountable.

“Alvin Bragg has irreparably damaged our country in an attempt to interfere in our Presidential election. As he routinely frees violent criminals to terrorize the public, he weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump. The American people will not tolerate this injustice, and the House of Representatives will hold Alvin Bragg and his unprecedented abuse of power to account,” said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in a Twitter post.

UK: King Charles clashes with Church of England Over ‘Inclusive’ Coronation, ‘Commitment to Multiple Religions’

Wed, 04/12/2023 - 18:00

What, one has to ask, is King Charles going to do with Buddhists who don’t have a god or Hindus who have over thirty of them or Meghan Markle who thinks she is one?

Christians, Jews and Muslims believe in only one god which means that they are closer to the true number which, I venture to say, is zero.

Nevertheless, the coronation of a British sovereign is an ancient ceremony that dates back over a thousand years to the Saxon kings and as such it should be conspicuously, confidently and joyously free from the kind of pandering, ingratiating wokery now emanating from Buckingham Palace.

On his accession to the throne King Charles automatically became the most recent Supreme Governor of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith. If he carries on like this he could be the last one.

UK: King Charles clashes with Church of England over ‘inclusive’ coronation, ‘commitment to multiple religions’

By: Jihad Watch, April 12, 2023:

King Charles is in a row with Church of England leaders “over the role of non-Christian faiths” in his upcoming May 6th coronation ceremony. Charles is insisting on a ceremony “to better reflect the modern monarchy,” as opposed to celebrating the history of Britain. So he has insisted on the participation of representatives of the […]

Biden Blames Trump for Afghan Withdrawal Catastrophe, But Let’s Get Real

Wed, 04/12/2023 - 16:43

Harry Truman’s desk famously bore a sign, “The buck stops here,” but those days are long gone. The dumpster fire regime of Old Joe Biden’s handlers is one long orgy of excuse-making and buck-passing: the ongoing disaster of his misrule is everyone’s fault but their own. Thus it came as no real surprise when the regime blamed its catastrophic bungling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan on a man who wasn’t president when it happened. “President Biden’s choices for how to execute a withdrawal from Afghanistan were severely constrained by conditions created by his predecessor,” the White House claimed, and really, who else but Donald Trump could possibly be responsible, as this regime has already decided that he is the focus of evil in the modern world? But the facts, as always, are otherwise.

Trump spokesman Steven Cheung shot back: “Biden and his administration are trying to gaslight the American people for their disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan that directly led to American deaths and emboldened the terrorists.” Exactly so. Emblematic of the mishandling of the entire withdrawal from Afghanistan was the fact that the Islamic State jihadist who murdered 13 American service members and numerous Afghans a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport in August 2021 had just been released from prison at Bagram Air Base, the center of American operations in Afghanistan until the U.S. precipitously and irresponsibly abandoned it in July of the same year. That release took place on Biden’s watch, at the orders of his military, which also ordered Marine snipers not to take out the same jihadist when they had him in their sights.

Al-Loghri had been held in the Parwan prison at Bagram Air Base, along with around 5,000 other prisoners, including several hundred members of ISIS, as well as Taliban and al-Qaeda jihadis. In July 2021, according to the Associated Press, “the U.S. left Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left.” Did Trump tell Biden’s handlers to do that?

Contrary to Biden’s claims that every contingency had been provided for, this was a catastrophe brought on by a lack of planning and foresight. On August 30, 2021, Rep. Jody Hice (R-Georgia) tweeted: “As the Afghan government fell, the Taliban gave US officials the option to take control of Kabul. They PASSED and instead opted to willingly surrender the city to the Taliban and control only the airport till 8/31! HOW MANY MORE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED?!?”

We’ll never know. Yet before the disaster, the Biden regime assured us that it had matters well in hand. In June 2021, CENTCOM commander General Kenneth McKenzie gave an interview to Military Times in which he declared confidently: “We have workable plans to evacuate any scale of people that we would be directed to do. That’s one of the things that we have done. I’ve talked to the secretary about it.” Given the chaos of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, however, either no such plans ever really existed, or they were never implemented.

The military had other matters on its mind. In June 2021, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) questioned General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a Congressional hearing about an ongoing effort to saddle U.S. military personnel with mandatory readings and briefings on the topic of Critical Race Theory. Milley bristled at the question and answered: “I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist.”

The general situated his interest as part of an investigation of the causes of the alleged January 6 alleged “insurrection,” taking for granted the highly tendentious assumption that the Capitol incident, and support for Trump in general, was rooted in “white supremacism”: “I want to understand white rage, and I’m white, and I want to understand it. So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out.”

Milley and the rest of the woke military brass could have spent less time studying Critical Race Theory and imposing it on the troops as a way of weeding out Trump supporters from the ranks, and more time doing their actual jobs. Had they done so, they might have realized how foolish it was to steal away from Bagram in the dead of night. They could even have used the base as a rallying point for Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave the country, getting them out in a safe and orderly manner instead of the Saigon-on-steroids nightmare that a horrified world witnessed at Kabul airport in August.

Yet safe among his friends in Washington, who will ensure that he suffers no consequences for his disastrous errors of judgment, Milley is considered a brilliant strategist. Yet he learned nothing from the Afghanistan debacle. As Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Army officers were forced to sit through an official and mandatory presentation entitled “Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Persons and Persons with Gender Dysphoria.” According to the Washington Free Beacon, the presentation gives “training on gender pronouns and coaching officers on when to offer soldiers gender transition surgery.”

That’s what led to the Afghan catastrophe, not Donald Trump. Old Joe Biden will not escape the verdict of history.

White House Stenographer Says He Has Evidence That Implicates President Biden in Foreign Influence-Peddling “Conspiracy” That FBI Ignored

Wed, 04/12/2023 - 16:00

“Joe Biden committed crimes in Ukraine in a conspiracy with [current national security adviser] Jake Sullivan,” McCormick said.

“I’m a witness to that happening.”

We are under siege by a fraudulent regime aided and abetted by Democrat operatives in our most powerful government agencies.

Ex-White House stenographer says FBI ignored Biden’s role in son Hunter’s business dealings

By Steven Nelson, NY Post, April 11, 2023:

“Joe Biden committed crimes in Ukraine in a conspiracy with [current national security adviser] Jake Sullivan,” McCormick said.

“I’m a witness to that happening.”

McCormick visited Ukraine with then-Vice President Biden three times and says that on a 2014 trip, Sullivan — then a Biden national security aide — briefed reporters aboard Air Force Two as an anonymous “senior administration official” about how the US was interested in helping Ukraine’s natural gas industry.

At the time — and unbeknownst to the public — Hunter had joined the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma, working with an executive who would later meet with Joe Biden in Washington.

“I think the FBI should investigate it based on an eyewitness report,” McCormick said.

“This happened. Joe Biden was part of this.

“They’ve been looking at Hunter Biden, but this ties Joe Biden and [Sullivan] into promoting a kickback scheme with Ukraine. It’s the timeline that does it.”

McCormick says he was with Sullivan in the press cabin of the vice presidential jet en route to Kyiv on April 21, 2014, as the aide outlined how the world’s wealthiest country would help the deeply corrupt post-Soviet state build its gas industry.

Giving a rundown of Biden’s priorities, Sullivan said the then-vice president would “discuss with [Ukrainian officials] medium- and long-term strategies to boost conventional gas production, and also to begin to take advantage of the unconventional gas reserves that are in Ukraine.”

Asked for details by a reporter, the anonymous Biden aide said the US was interested in providing “technical assistance to help [Ukraine] be able to boost production in their conventional gas fields, where presently they aren’t getting the maximum of what they could be” while offering “technical assistance relating to a regulatory framework, and also the technology that would be required to extract unconventional gas resources; and Ukraine has meaningful reserves of unconventional gas according to the latest estimates.”

In December of that year, amid broader Obama administration support for Ukraine, Congress approved $50 million to support the country’s energy sector, including the natural gas industry.

US Special Forces in Ukraine

Wed, 04/12/2023 - 15:00

The leak of classified Pentagon documents reflect a terrible reality completely at odds with the deceiving dung the Democrat media axis is serving up steaming hot every day to the American people.

Further, the leaked files, some marked “top secret”, paint a detailed picture of the war in Ukraine, including sensitive details of Ukraine’s preparations for a spring counter-offensive.
According to the document, dated 23 March, western forces (including the US) are fighting in Ukraine. Where is Congressional approval? Where is the declaration of war? Where are the UN security council votes?

We have completely depleted our militaria to supply this pointless run-up to WWIII while destroying our standing in the world. No foreign enemy could have done so much damage to this country in so short a period of time than the Democrat party of treason.

If you are still under the malformed impression that we are governed in accordance with a Constitutional Republic, shame on you.

Other documents say when a dozen new Ukrainian brigades – being prepared for an offensive that could begin within weeks – will be ready. They list, in great detail, the tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery pieces that are being provided by Ukraine’s Western allies.

One map includes a timeline that assesses ground conditions across eastern Ukraine as spring progresses.

According to the Washington Post newspaper, one document from early February expresses misgivings about Ukraine’s chances of success in its forthcoming counteroffensive, saying that problems with generating and sustaining sufficient forces could result in “modest territorial gains”.

Ukraine’s difficulties in maintaining its vital air defences are also analysed, with warnings from late February that Kyiv might run out of critical missiles.

Casualty figures are also listed. One slide refers to as many as 223,000 Russian soldiers killed or wounded, and as many as 131,000 Ukrainians. (BBC)

One day after China simulated “joint precision strikes” on Taiwan during military exercises around the island, Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu condemned Beijing’s actions in an exclusive interview with CNN and warned that “they seem to be trying to get ready to launch a war against Taiwan.”

“Look at the military exercises, and also their rhetoric, they seem to be trying to get ready to launch a war against Taiwan,” Wu said.

“The Taiwanese government looks at the Chinese military threat as something that cannot be accepted and we condemn it.”
