GOP Imposter Caught Deleting Pro-Biden, -DEI Tweets in Mich. Race

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A new Republican House candidate who wishes to replace retiring Rep. Dan Kildee, D–Mich., previously pushed for the implementation of DEI policies and praised Joe Biden’s administration in since-deleted tweets.

Mary Draves, the former Chief Sustainability Officer at DOW, has promoted DEI practices in the workplace as recently as February 2024 and welcomed the Biden administration’s decision to rejoin the Paris Agreement, a climate treaty that conservatives have denounced, in January 2021, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

In January 2024, workplace training company Skillsoft published an interview with Draves, during which she talked about her support of DEI.

“When I talk to young people looking for jobs, there are a couple of things that they ask me very consistently. One is, ‘What are the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion programs?’” Draves said.

In February 2024, Skillsoft posted an explainer of Draves’ DEI suggestions on social media, like implementing “inclusive policies and practices,” “actively work[ing] to create diverse teams” and “reward[ing] individuals and teams that actively contribute to a diverse and inclusive workplace.”

Draves’s campaign tried to defend her by arguing that she “has supported Republicans for decades, contributing tens of thousands to help elect strong conservatives who can win,” according to the statement to the Daily Caller.

“This is just another desperate smear from the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] and California Paul Junge teaming up to help elect Democrats. Mary remains committed to calling out the failures of the Biden agenda that are crushing Michigan’s working families,” Draves’s campaign spokesman Carter Houtman said.

However, this explanation doesn’t make sense, considering that she was making these remarks, while also promoting “climate change” ideology and praising Joe Biden in her now-deleted tweets — another sign of Draves and her campaign team trying to get rid of the evidence.

“Addressing [climate change] is one of the major challenges in achieving a sustainable future. We need national policies that support [innovation] and [investment] to protect the climate and move our nation to a [net zero] economy,” Draves wrote.

Ellen Suggests Being Gay, Not Harassment, Reason for Her Fall From Grace

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Disgraced former host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres, a staunch Democrat, has broken her silence about the sudden cancellation of her popular show amid disturbing revelations of alleged harassment by employees. 

During a stand-up performance in Los Angeles on Wednesday, DeGeneres sarcastically attributed the cancellation of her eponymous show to being “mean, old, and gay,” according to Rolling Stone. 

The magazine reported that DeGeneres jokingly stated that the cancellation of The Ellen DeGeneres Show marked the second time she had faced such scrutiny. 

“For those of you keeping score, this is the second time I’ve been kicked out of show business… Eventually they’re going to kick me out for a third time because I’m mean, old, and gay,” she sad. 

In the 1990s, DeGeneres’s sitcom abruptly ended after she came out as a lesbian. Three decades later, she faced backlash following damning allegations of fostering a toxic work environment where employees endured constant harassment. 

Ultimately, three producers were fired, and DeGeneres issued an on-air apology. “As you may have heard this summer, there were allegations of a toxic work environment at our show,” DeGeneres acknowledged.  

“And I want to say, I am so sorry to the people who were affected. I know that I’m in a position of privilege and power. And I realized that with that comes responsibility, and I take responsibility for what happens at my show,” she added.

However, the apology failed to quell the backlash and reverse the declining viewership, leading to the show’s cancellation. 

Earlier in her stand-up routine, DeGeneres quipped, “What else can I tell you? Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business. There’s no mean people in show business.” 

DeGeneres admitted that the widespread criticism had taken a toll on her ego. 

“I’m giving stuff away…and I danced, then I was mean and they didn’t like me again,” she said. “It’s been such a toll on my ego and my self-esteem. There’s such extremes in this business, people either love you and idolize you or they hate you, and those people somehow are louder.” 

DeGeneres is currently on a mea culpa tour.  

In 2017, she urged then-former Vice President Joe Biden to run for president. According to the Media Research Center, DeGeneres donated almost $40,000 to Democratic committees in 2016. 

Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama were among the recipients of these donations.

NPR’s Old CEO Called ‘Racist’ for Asking for ‘Civility’

NPR’s Old CEO Called ‘Racist’ for Asking for ‘Civility’

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) NPR’s former CEO got accused of racism in 2023 for daring to suggest that employees should be civil at the workplace.

During a question-and-answer forum regarding the outlet’s hip-hop podcast focused on black and “queer” issues called “Louder Than A Riot” lacking its own budget, former NPR CEO John Lansing pushed employees to consider “civility,” the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

Lansing commented after the podcast’s editor Soraya Shockley had pressed him about the lack of funding for DEI. As a result of that, an employee at NPR wrote in the forum’s chat that the term “civility” is “racist” because it is frequently deployed against racial minorities.

“How are we supposed to support diverse programming — actually commit to DEI, and make it not a folly — when this company seems scared to talk about money when it is not a $30 million deficit?” Shockley said.

After that session, Shockley submitted a human resources complaint against Lansing, suggesting the “civility” comments are “dog-whistle racism,” according to an individual aware of the interaction. The Daily Caller reported that an external law firm looked at the complaint and did not advise penalties for Lansing.

Lansing declined to comment on the exchange, the Caller added.

The news about Lansing came after veteran NPR editor Uri Berliner’s recent publication of his viral essay, in which Berliner alleged all levels of the publication were aligned on the prioritization of race and “gender identity,” which caused a lack of “viewpoint diversity” and a DEI push.

After the essay became viral, it triggered turbulence within the company, the news source reported.

“We are slipping in our ability to impact America, not just in broadcast, but also in the growing world of on-demand audio,” NPR chief financial officer Daphne Kwon told NPR executives, a recording of a late 2023 discussion revealed.

60K+ Dem. Voters Protest Biden in Major Swing State

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) It was reported that more than 60,000 Democratic voters in Pennsylvania didn’t vote for Joe Biden in the battleground state’s presidential primary this week, instead deciding to return ballots with a write-in candidate.

The wave of write-ins amounted to 5.6% of the vote in the Pennsylvania primary or 60,271 votes, the New York Post reported.

Uncommitted PA, a coalition of individuals and organizations in Pennsylvania opposed to Biden’s support for Israel’s war against Hamas, urged leftists before the Apr. 23, 2024, election to write in “uncommitted” to voice their displeasure with Biden, instead of voting for him simply because he is a Democrat.

The group celebrated the results of the primary and called it a “massive write-in victory.”

“Uncommitted PA believes that the outcome of the primary election serves as a strong indicator of voter sentiment in the November election. Voters in Pennsylvania feel conflicted about voting for Biden, as demonstrated by the write-in and undervote,” the group said in its statement.

Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., who suspended his presidential campaign earlier this year, received nearly 130,000 write-ins and votes in the state.

“Biden only won the Commonwealth by 80,000 votes in 2020. [Donald] Trump won by just 44,000 in 2016. Both margins of victory are eclipsed by total non-Biden votes in yesterday’s Democratic primary. We have sent a clear message in the key swing state of Pennsylvania: to secure victory in our state in November, Biden must drastically change course in Gaza,” Uncommitted PA said.

The news source reported that Pennsylvania doesn’t offer voters an “uncommitted” option on the ballot.

It was also noted that the responses on the write-in ballots could take weeks for counties to report. Some counties could even decide under the state’s election code to not report write-in votes that weren’t cast for a “person.”

“If write-in votes are cast for something other than a person, the counties have the option to report those write-in votes in a category labeled ‘scattered.’ Therefore, it is most likely that we will not know what the specific write-ins said if they were not cast for a ‘person,’” a Pennsylvania Department of State spokesperson said.

Trump Calls Biden’s Bluff on Debate

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Donald Trump responded to Joe Biden’s saying on Howard Stern’s show early on Apr. 26, 2024, that he would be “happy to debate” Trump, with Trump suggesting that they could debate the same day.

“Crooked Joe Biden just announced that he’s willing to debate! Everyone knows he doesn’t really mean it, but in case he does, I saw, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters. I suggest Monday Evening, Tuesday Evening, or Wednesday Evening at my Rally in Michigan, a State that he is in the process of destroying with his EV Mandate,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He then suggested debating in New York City on the same day when Biden said that he would be “happy to debate” Trump.

“In the alternative, he’s in New York City today, although probably doesn’t know it, and so am I, stuck in one of the many Court cases that he instigated as ELECTION INTERFERENCE AGAINST A POLITICAL OPPONENT – A CONTINUING WITCH HUNT! It’s the only way he thinks he can win. In fact, let’s do the Debate at the Courthouse tonight – on National Television, I’ll wait around!” Trump wrote.

Biden made his remark earlier on Apr. 26, 2024, on Stern’s show.

“I am, somewhere, I don’t know when. I’m happy to debate him,” Biden said.

The Post Millennial reported that Trump expressed his desire to debate Biden even in March 2024, after Nikki Haley dropped out of the Republican primary race.

“It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People. Therefore, I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE! The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their Subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). I look forward to receiving a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said.

In addition to the debate comment, Biden also lied about being arrested while “standing on the porch with a black family.”

Biden Plotted to Oust ‘Historic’ Jean-Pierre Despite Being First Gay, Black Press Sec.

Biden Plotted to Oust ‘Historic’ Jean-Pierre Despite Being First Gay, Black Press Sec.

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Karine Jean-Pierre may tout herself as a “historic” figure, celebrating her selection as the first black and lesbian White House press secretary. However, such a feat has not prevented her superiors from quietly seeking her ouster. 

According to a lengthy and damning report by the New York Post, sources alleged the existence of plans to remove Jean-Pierre from the press briefing room podium. 

“There was an effort to have some outside folks who Karine knows and trusts talk to her about why leaving last fall would have made a lot of sense for her and her career,” one source told the Post.

This effort was aimed “to encourage her to move along,” the source said. Her persistent reliance on a bookbinder for prepared answers is a significant source of dissatisfaction with Jean-Pierre.

“Karine doesn’t have an understanding of the issues and she reads the book [binder] word-for-word,” a second source said, adding that the optics are made worse because Jean-Pierre “thinks she’s doing an amazing job.” 

At the center of the ousting effort was White House senior adviser Anita Dunn, the sources alleged. According to the Post, Dunn approached White House colleagues to summon high-profile Democrats to inform Jean-Pierre that it was time to move on. 

“There were a number of people she asked to engage Karine,” one source affirmed. Another source said that Dunn and White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, who agreed to the plan, sought to give Jean-Pierre a “graceful exit.” 

Jean-Pierre was then offered the position of president at EMILY List, a pro-abortion organization dedicated to supporting women candidates in elections.  

This vacancy arose after California Gov. Gavin Newsom selected former EMILY List President Laphonza Butler to temporarily fill the Senate seat left vacant by the passing of Dianne Feinstein. 

Jean-Pierre swiftly rejected the offer, emphatically telling reporters that she contentiously plans to remain as press secretary until the 2024 presidential election. 

Like Butler, Jean-Pierre has proudly highlighted her status as the first black, lesbian woman to hold the press secretary role. However, her embrace of identity politics has led to concerns within the White House as they fear that removing her against her will could not be well-received. 

“There were a number of people she asked to engage Karine,” the source said. 

Jean-Pierre has held the role since May 2022 and has frequently clashed with conservative journalists, propagated demonstrably false information and often appears unprepared to address questions.

She has reportedly clashed with White House advisor John Kirby, who was brought in to assist Jean-Pierre with questions pertaining to global conflicts. According to reports, Jean-Pierre does not allow Kirby to freely take questions from reporters when co-hosting press briefings. 

Where’s Sam Brinton? Adam Schiff Has Luggage Stolen in San Francisco

Where’s Sam Brinton? Adam Schiff Has Luggage Stolen in San Francisco

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., attended an upscale dinner in causal dress after thieves stole his suitcase out of his car in San Francisco, according to the New York Post.

Schiff visited the city for a few days in order to visit with his supporters in the area as he gears up to run for the U.S. Senate.

Schiff parked his car in a parking garage, where crooks broke in and took his bags.

“Yes, they took my bags,” Schiff said to reporters with the San Francisco Chronicle. “But I’m here to thank Joe.”

Lawyer Joe Cotchett offered his support to Schiff’s senatorial campaign.

Schiff was the most informal person at the table, sporting a long-sleeved shirt under a hiking best.

“I guess it’s ‘Welcome to San Francisco,’” Cotchett’s spokesman, Lee Houskeeper, said.

San Francisco’s policies of open air drug use, acquiescence to the homelessness and misplaced spending priorities lead to a historic spike in crime.

Top officials in the city’s police department also earn nearly half a million dollars per year, despite their lack of urgency to solve local issues. However, high-ranking police officers blamed leftist policies for the increase in crime.

“San Francisco, as you can see from all the video, the boarded-up shops, empty spaces for retail, is a city that is spiraling or already in the bottom of the toilet,” Lt. Tracy McCray told then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson in 2021.

Altogether, the city became the literal butt of the joke after the hands-off approach city-level policy makers opted to take.

Twitter users had a different theory for the disappearance of Schiff’s luggage: former Energy Department official Sam Brinton, who famously stole  luggage from airport carousels on three separate occasions.

“They probably got his laptop which contained overwhelming Russia Russia Russia evidence,” one user said. “Any suspects?”

“Just imagine what in that luggage when the thief opens it up…” another user posted. “The only way this could be better is if the thief was Sam Brinton.”

Pro-Hamas Activists Admit They Don’t Know What They’re Protesting as Soros Ties Revealed

Pro-Hamas Activists Admit They Don’t Know What They’re Protesting as Soros Ties Revealed

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Two students at Columbia University who rushed to join New York University’s (NYU) violent anti-Israel rally admitted they didn’t know what they were protesting and wished they were “more educated” about what was going on.

Later on, it was revealed that George Soros was behind the funding of these Jew-hating protests on college and university campuses all across the country.

The video of two unidentified female students trying to find the reason for their being at the protest on the steps of the NYU campus in downtown Manhattan went viral after Rudy Giuliani shared it on Twitter.

“I think the main goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stop… I honestly don’t know all of what NYU is doing,” one of the students admitted.

After that, she turned to her friend and asked what was happening, but received a similar ignorant response.

“I wish I [were] more educated,” her friend said.

Soon after that, it was revealed that Soros was connected to the protests that started at Columbia and then spread to other college and university campuses, among which were Harvard University, Yale University, Ohio State University, Emory University and the University of California, Berkeley, the New York Post reported.

Paid radicals and “fellows” of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) have been encouraging the protests as well.

The Post additionally reported that the organization provides up to $7,800 for its community-based fellows and between $2,880 and $3,660 for its campus-based “fellows” for spending eight hours a week organizing “campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.”

Since 2017, Soros’ Open Society Foundations gave USCPR at least $300,000, the news source reported.

On Apr. 17, 2024, Students for Justice in Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace and Within Our Lifetime set up the tent city on Columbia’s lawn called “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” with students sleeping in tents that were reportedly ordered from Amazon and enjoying delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin’, free sandwiches worth $12.50 from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips and $10 rotisserie chickens, according to the Post.

FCC Revives ‘Net Neutrality’ Rule Letting Gov’t Regulate Internet Traffic

FCC Revives ‘Net Neutrality’ Rule Letting Gov’t Regulate Internet Traffic

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) The Federal Communications Commission reinstated an Obama-era internet neutrality rule allowing the federal government and its bureaucracy to govern internet traffic, Politico reported.

The three Democrats on the FCC panel outvoted the two Republicans, instituting the rule on the pretense that it will protect consumers.

At stake is whether the federal government is ultimately more trustworthy than private companies when it comes to regulating—or not regulating—Americans’ online access.

The rule also allows the FCC to stop internet providers from regulating the flow and speed of traffic, potentially curating what content will be promoted and what will be hindered.

According to FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, it is necessary for experts to be able to intervene in the market to regulate it.

“Consumers have made clear to us they do not want their broadband provider cutting sweetheart deals, with fast lanes for some services and slow lanes for others,” Rosenworcel said. Presumably, the FCC will take that power into its own hands.

According to the FCC chair, she and her comrades are defenders of the people, who “do not want their providers engaging in blocking, throttling and paid prioritization.”

In contrast, Brendan Carr, a Republican commissioner, argued that the Democrats’ argument stands on “shifting sands.”

“All fall apart under casual scrutiny,” he said of their claims. Under net neutrality, federal regulators could use their authority to “fortify democracy” during a time of heightened political tensions, if they so chose, by throttling or censoring political speech that they found disagreeable.

According to an FCC press release, however, the organization will use its new powers to “protect consumers, defend national security, and advance public safety.”

Carr’s thoughts were echoed by USTelecom CEO Jonathan Spalter, who condemned the Democrats’ zeal for regulation, warning that it would slow economic progress.

“These 400-plus pages of relentless regulation are proof positive that old orthodoxies die hard—even when the cost is failing to achieve internet for all,” he said. “Our nation has a stark choice: Do we move forward together and connect everyone or dial it all back?”

The order will go into effect 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register.

Right-Wing Dissidents Still in Prison after Mandatory Parole Date

Right-Wing Dissidents Still in Prison after Mandatory Parole Date

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) More than 41 years ago, Yorie Kahl and Scott Faul were involved in a shootout with federal agents—what some argue were the first shots of a decades-long conflict between American patriots and a tyrannical U.S. government.

It looks like the government will keep Kahl and Faul imprisoned for the rest of their lives for their transgressions.

Last month, U.S. Magistrate Judge John Docherty issued a report recommending that the 71-year-old Faul remain in prison past his mandatory parole date.

Faul had filed a petition for his immediate release in November 2022—arguing that he was paroled from his life sentence in 2013, and only had another 10 years to serve for the charge of forcibly assaulting or impeding federal officers by deadly weapon. That additional 10 years from 2013 means that Faul should have been released last February, but Judge Docherty’s report has him staying caged.

In his report, Judge Docherty agreed with the Justice Department that “mandatory parole” doesn’t really mean what the words suggest.

“The ‘mandatory parole statute’ explicitly prohibits the Commission from releasing any prisoner if ‘there is a reasonable probability’ that the prisoner ‘will commit any Federal, State, or local crime,’” Judge Docherty said in his report. “Therefore, a prisoner who is eligible for ‘mandatory parole’ is not entitled to receive parole but is only eligible to receive parole.”

Faul had acknowledged that mandatory parole doesn’t necessarily mean an automatic release for a prisoner. However, Attorney General guidelines for determining the likelihood of prisoner recidivism has deemed Faul to be at a “minimum” risk for reoffending, he said.

Despite Faul being a senior citizen deemed a low risk for reoffending, the DOJ pointed to his recent anti-government remarks as a reason for keeping him in prison.

For example, Faul allegedly wrote a letter in December 2020, in which he said: “When I am released, I am going to retire to my farm near Harvey, North Dakota, to continue exactly from the same point which I was at in 1983 before I was unlawfully attacked by murderous thugs of the Ronald Reagan, William French Smith, Edwin Meese squad of terrorists.”

Faul has until May 12 to file objections to Judge Docherty’s report. He is currently incarcerated at a federal corrections institution for elderly inmates in Milan, Michigan.

Kahl, 65, remains at a medium-security institution in Pekin, Illinois.

Updates and documents about the Kahl case can be found at ihatethefbi.com.
