Army Demotes Ex-White House Physician Now a Pro-Trump Congressman

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The U.S. Navy has punished the former White House physician, who currently serves as an America First member of Congress, following an internal investigation into accusations of misconduct. 

Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, a staunch supporter of Donald Trump and a conservative firebrand, was demoted from his retired admiral rank to retired Navy captain, lowering his retirement income and tarnishing his years of service from 1995 to 2019.

The demotion, resulting in a $15,000 annual cut, transpired in 2022 during the Biden administration, according to leaks from a Biden Defense official and another former government official in a Washington Post report. 

As reported by the Post, the demotion stemmed from a 2021 Pentagon inspector general report investigating allegations against Jackson. 

The 37-page report revealed that Jackson made “sexual and denigrating” statements about one of his employees to another individual. Additionally, the report highlighted Jackson’s alleged consumption of alcohol and sleeping aid pills while serving in the White House. 

Jackson, a highly decorated physician who worked for former presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, later ascended to the position of chief medical advisor to Trump. He departed the White House to successfully seek a congressional seat in 2020. 

Since entering politics, Jackson has emerged as a vocal critic of President Joe Biden, frequently providing assessments of Biden’s visibly deteriorating stamina and urging him to undergo a cognitive test.

In his 2022 book, Jackson rebuked the investigation, characterizing it as nothing more than a witch hunt at the behest of Biden 

“If I had retired and not gotten into politics, this investigation would have never gone anywhere,” Jackson wrote, as reported by the Post. 

He added: “This was happening because I am a perceived threat to the Biden administration and because a few political appointees in the Department of Defense want to make a name for themselves.”

DeSantis Blasts Nikki Haley for Not Honoring Loyalty Pledge by Endorsing Trump,

(Headline USA) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted fellow ex-GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley for not endorsing former President Donald Trump this week after she dropped out of the primary race.

Pointing out that Haley signed the same Republican National Committee loyalty pledge that he did, promising to endorse the party’s eventual nominee, DeSantis argued she owes it to the party to unify behind the clear primary winner.

“I signed the pledge, and you signed the pledge saying that you’re gonna not take your ball and go home,” DeSantis told Newsmax’s Eric Bolling. “And so, I honored the pledge, and she’s gonna have to make a decision about whether she wants to or not.”

The pledge was a condition for those participating in the RNC debates, although Trump himself prominently balked at both the pledge and participation in the debates, rightfully arguing that they were beneath him.

DeSantis endorsed Trump immediately after suspending his own presidential campaign last month.

Haley admitted before dropping out of the race that she no longer felt bound by the RNC oath and that she had not decided whether she’d back Trump. 

“At the time of the debate, we had to take it,” she said of the pledge. “I think I’ll make what decision I want to make, but that’s not something I’m thinking about.”

But DeSantis said Haley should be true to her commitment.

“The idea that somehow circumstances have changed … I think we all knew what we were doing when we did that, and you’ve got to make a judgment about whether that’s meaningful to you,” he said. “And so, for me, I tell people, you know, if I say I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it.”

With Trump limited to one remaining term, the two leading also-rans, who frequently squared off in the debates and sought to contrast their ideas against one another, are likely to face each other again in 2028.

A top Haley surrogate, Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., hinted on Wednesday that Haley—whom Trump had dubbed “Birdbrain” in recent weeks—eventually announce her endorsement. “At the end of the day, she will come on board.”

But all Haley has said thus far of the former president is that he must “earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him.”

Intel Agencies Publicly Fret Whether Trump Can Be Trusted w/ Classified Info

Intel Agencies Publicly Fret Whether Trump Can Be Trusted w/ Classified Info 

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The Biden administration has chosen not to block former President Donald Trump’s access to intelligence briefings, despite initial hesitation to follow the historical precedent of providing national security information to presidential frontrunners.

According to Politico on Thursday, two internal sources implied that allowing Trump to receive these briefings might serve as their white flag to Trump, an attempt to establish trust with him. However, the White House declined to say whether Trump would be allowed to receive such briefings just a day earlier.

The initial hesitation stems from the criminal case over Trump’s alleged possession of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence. Notably, this case is being led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, a far-left Democrat. 

But similar to Trump, President Joe Biden himself became embroiled in a scandal after Special Counsel Robert Hur found evidence indicating that the president “willfully” held classified documents in his residence for years. 

Despite the similarities to the Trump case, Biden did not face criminal charges. Prosecutors assumed that during a trial, a jury would show sympathy for Biden due to his alleged failed memory. 

The briefings are managed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence with White House approval immediately after national conventions, Politico added. 

This decision follows Biden unilaterally blocking Trump from receiving briefings offered to former presidents, citing Trump’s alleged “erratic behavior” as the reason he should not receive intelligence briefings. 

“There’s no need for him to have that intelligence briefing,” Biden claimed in the days after his inauguration in February 2021. “What value is giving him an intelligence briefing? What impact does he have at all, other than the fact that he might slip and say something?”

Now, three years later, Biden and Trump are set to face off in the 2024 general election, with several polls indicating that the former president could unseat the incumbent from the White House.

Buttigieg Insists Biden is Doing ‘Everythign He Can’ on the Border

Buttigieg Insists Biden is Doing ‘Everythign He Can’ on the Border

(Headline USA) Transportation Department Secretary Pete Buttigieg insisted this week that President Joe Biden was doing “everything he can” to address the border crisis, according to the Daily Caller.

The notoriously absentee Transportation secretary also denied that Biden had reversed several successful Trump-era immigration policies—despite the fact that the administration notably gloated about doing so on Biden’s first day as president.

During an interview with CBS on Thursday as a precursor to the president’s State of the Union address, anchor Tony Dokoupil asked Buttigieg whether Biden planned to unveil any executive action in regards to the border crisis and why he hadn’t done so already.

“Look, the president has taken a number of actions with the authority that he has,” Buttigieg claimed in response. “There are some things he’s not going to do, like family separation, because it’s wrong.”

Despite the claim, Biden’s open-border policies have created a robust market for human trafficking that frequently exploits and preys on unaccompanied minors. From 2021 to 2023, the New York Times estimated that a record 400,000 children had crossed the border alone due to Biden having incentivized the dangerous trek.

Repeating a White House talking point, Buttigieg predictably went on to blame congressional Republicans for the border crisis, arguing that the refusal to sign a questionable immigration bill “demonstrated that they would prefer to have the problem, which is politically useful, than the solution that most Americans, including the president of the United States, want to see happen.”

Critics said the bill would have done nothing to address the issue and would, instead, have given the Biden administration additional funding to continue its current policies, aiding and abetting illegal immigrants by funneling billions of dollars to non-governmental programs that assist in their journey.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorkas acknowledged that no additional funding would have been used for deportations, meaning the funds would have been used only to expedite the proceesing of illegals making dubious asylum claims before sending them into the nation’s interior.

In his interview with Buttigieg, Dokoupil pointed out that it seemed like Biden wanted the problem “because there are these things he could do that he’s not doing.”

However, Buttigieg denied that Biden could use his executive authority to take action, claiming, “He’s doing everything that he responsibly can under the law as it now stands.”

Biden has signed more than 90 executive orders since taking office to undo Trump-era border policies, including the successful “Remain in Mexico” asylum rule.

In several instances, he has actively waged legal challenges against those trying to take border security into their own hands—such as suing to force the expiration of the pandemic-era Title 42 policy, and taking a fight with Texas to the U.S. Supreme Court to allow border agents to cut down the razor wire that Gov. Greg Abbott was using to deter crossings.

During another interview earlier this week, Buttigieg also tried to deny that Biden had dismantled these pro-enforcement policies. CNBC host Joe Kernen pointed out that Biden “got rid of the things that were keeping the border closed that President Trump had put in.”

Buttigieg interjected, “That’s literally not true. It’s literally not true.”

The White House, however, has admitted in recent weeks that it is considering taking executive action to address the crisis as Biden continues to fall behind Trump in the polls.

Police Bust Fla. ‘Santa’ Accused of Making Child Porn; Son Commits Suicide

Police Bust Fla. ‘Santa’ Accused of Making Child Porn; Son Commits Suicide

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Florida police informed the public that they were tipped off to a father and son producing child pornography at their home while also adding that they discovered after the investigation that the pedophiles were abusing children in their neighborhood.

Neighbors told WESH-TV that about 30 law enforcement officials raided the home of 79-year-old James Cox and his son Henry Cox lived on Countryside View Drive in St. Cloud on March 5, 2024, at about 10 a.m.

During the raid, a body was carried out of the home, witnesses said. Later on, the Orange County Medical Examiner confirmed that they had been called about a dead body in the home. It was later revealed by St. Cloud police that it was Henry’s body who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“The cause of death is gunshot wound of head and manner of death has been ruled a suicide,” a statement from the Osceola County Medical Examiner’s Office said.

Police received a cyber-tip about child pornography being uploaded from the home in November 2023, and they raided the home on Jan. 19, 2024, according to a criminal complaint. The law enforcement officials found several hard drives with videos and images of children being abused and exploited.

The father admitted to looking at child porn online, but the son denied any involvement, agents said. However, based on the evidence that was found by the investigators, it was later revealed that the son produced some of the child pornography. In addition to the father watching child porn, he was also uploading it.

One video panned across a mirror and showed the son recording the file in the reflection, the investigators revealed.

Police said that they found video evidence that the pedophiles recorded children in public bathrooms and while they changed clothes with some of the alleged underage victims being children who lived in the neighborhood.

As of March 7, 2024, the father is being held at the Seminole County Jail.

Residents of the neighborhood expressed their shock by saying that they didn’t expect something like this would happen there because it is usually a quiet place.

“You just don’t think it’s going to be so close to your house, and having four girls myself, it’s a little unsettling. I think it confirms that we can’t be restful and let our kids play outside. It’s always play in the backyard now. It’s not like it used to be,” Emily Jenkins, one of the neighbors, said.

North Face Offers 20% Discount to ‘Allies’ Who Share Woke Worldview

North Face Offers 20% Discount to ‘Allies’ Who Share Woke Worldview

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Even as many woke corporations have begun shying away from controversial investing practices like the ESG movement, and the push for more diversity, equity and inclusion, The North Face appears to be doubling down, SK Pop reported.

The Denver-based outdoor-apparel company—founded by Democrat megadonors Susie Tompkins Buell and Douglas Tompkins—is breaking new ground by offering a 20% discount to their political “allies,” provided they undergo one-hour online indoctrination program in proper “allyship.”

The course purports to “foster a deeper understanding of the unique challenges that people of color face when accessing the outdoors.”

Upon the completion of the course, The North Face suggested, users would attain mastery of several woke objectives while fostering deeper insight into their own shameful privilege, if applicable:

  • “Build awareness and knowledge of people of colour in the outdoors”
  • “Understand the barriers and challenges by listening to lived experiences”
  • “Understand the power of allyship and how you can be an ally”
  • “Adopt effective strategies and tools for allyship in action”

The entire course is built upon the bizarre premise that racism creates some sort of inherent barrier for minorities that prevents them from communing with nature in the same way that whites do, noted the conservative Power Line blog.

“There is not a single human activity that is engaged in by equal proportions of members of different ethnic groups. Not one,” wrote blogger John Hinderaker.

“In the U.S., blacks live mostly in cities. Urban populations do not hike and camp as often as rural populations. So what?” he continued. “Rural populations do not play basketball as much as urban populations. Should North Face offer discounts to rural whites for that reason?”

A quiz at the end required users to attest to what they learned.

“I had to either sign on with North Face’s rightthink, or forgo my opportunity for a 20% discount,” wrote Hinderaker. “Since I would not, under any circumstances, consider buying a product from North Face, it was an easy decision.”

Twitter users slammed the company for its discount quiz.

One user, @amuse, the author of the “Politique Republic” blog, posted a video of three looters—their race indeterminate—stealing merchandise from a North Face store in Oakland, Calif.

The Libs of TikTok mocked the North Face “Executive Team”—none of whom presented as brown-skinned—for its lack of diversity, which did not stop them from feeling compelled to lecture others on the issue.

O’Keefe Goes Undercover as Pest-Control Worker to Expose Open-Border NGO

O’Keefe Goes Undercover as Pest-Control Worker to Expose Open-Border NGO

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) James O’Keefe, the estranged founder of Project Veritas and now CEO of O’Keefe Media Group, went undercover as an exterminator in order to investigate a non-government organization housing illegal immigrants in the San Diego Ramada Hotel.

O’Keefe said that the hotel became “some type of illegal immigrant compound.”

The video compilation of his investigation did not reveal exactly where the money for this operation originated. However, it implied that the government covered the cost in some capacity.

Records indicate that supposedly faith-based NGOs supporting open-border programs, such as Catholic Charities, received, on average, $223 million per year between 2008 and 2021.

The NGOs provide support including housing, food and water to the migrants for an indeterminate period of time.

O’Keefe gained access to the building while undercover as a pest-control specialist.

A camera tucked into his jacket captured footage of a whiteboard with a list of names of people in charge of the facility.

The information on the whiteboard also implicated the Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego, the California Department of Social Services and the University of California San Diego in the scheme.

O’Keefe saw people associated with UCSD inside the hotel.

His team also captured footage of migrants boarding a chartered bus scheduled to take them to the airport.

The Biden administration’s practice of flying immigrants to all parts of the country—once a closely guarded secret—is now widely known and acknowledged. However, a recent report by the Center for Immigration Studies revealed that the administration was secretly flying illegals from outside the U.S. into the country as well, in order to avoid running up the already record the number of border crossovers.

O’Keefe’s undercover investigation revealed that employees of the Ramada processing operation made around $20 per hour.

The majority of the migrants staying at the San Diego location were Chinese, who said they walked across the border unimpeded without having to pay a fee.

O’Keefe later returned to the site openly declaring himself to be an investigative journalist and attempted to alert several security guards to the drastic increase in human trafficking via the southern border.

Many of them avoided answering questions about the facility, their pay and how they felt about working in such a place.

“You know what’s happening here,” one guard said. “You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t know.”

At least five security guards were working on the premises.

One of them threatened to spray O’Keefe’s crew with pepper spray.

Unhinged Leftists Again Promise to Leave America If Trump Wins

Unhinged Leftists Again Promise to Leave America If Trump Wins

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) As the “denial” phase in their grief cycle comes to an abrupt close, TDS-afflicted leftists across the country are, once again, pivoting back to “bargaining,” with desperate ultimatums about what they will do if former President Donald Trump wins re-election in November.

However, if Trump’s 2016 victory offers any indication, conservatives are likely to have their hopes dashed by a string of broken promises from Hollywood celebrities promising to take drastic action and then failing to deliver.

According to Townhall, which compiled a list of 23 celebrities who committed to leaving America if Trump won the 2016 race, notable names included: Jon Stewart, Al Sharpton, Miley Cyrus, Samuel L. Jackson, Cher, Barbara Streisand, Whoopi Goldberg, Amy Schumer and even then-Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

This time around, few are still holding their breath for Cher’s long-awaited move to Jupiter.

Yet, while celebrities are likely to stay put, other affluent leftists may already be looking to bail on America—not because they are triggered by Trump, per se, but to escape the catastrophic conditions wroght by President Joe Biden,” Business Insider reported.

“Trump is far from the only reason Americans are eyeing the exits,” conceded expatriate journalist Paul Starobin in a recent op-ed for the site.

“Housing prices in America are high, remote work is allowing for unprecedented mobility, and global respect for the United States has been eroding,” Starobin wrote.

“… Fewer and fewer Americans, pollsters have found, believe ‘the American Dream—that if you work hard you’ll get ahead—still holds true,'” he added.

Starobin deftly avoided pinning the exodus on the current White House occupant, alternately suggesting that it was a longterm trend spanning “decades, dating back to the Iraq war” (i.e. blame the Bushes) and that “[a] second Trump presidency … could serve as a ‘catalyst’ that further fuels the growing diaspora of Americans living in exile.”

Indeed, many of those he catalogued in his piece offered up scripted anti-Trump answers, but they also cited factors like property taxes and “violent crime”—another recent byproduct of Democrat policies gone awry.

Tellingly, many of those Starobin interviewed were fleeing Biden’s America to Italy, a country currently run by one of Europe’s more conservative leaders, Giorgia Meloni, whom leftists and globalists previously attempted to smear as a right-wing neo-fascist.

Nonetheless, some expats were still convinced—or at least claimed to be—that Trump alone posed a sufficient danger to warrant uprooting their lives.

“An insurrection by a narcissist who couldn’t accept election loss combined with his gun and abortion policies made moving more of a necessity than just a dream,” claimed one Texas woman from Texas who planned to move to Italy.

Whereas most vows to leave the country if an opposing candidate wins have traditionally been “therapeutic venting,” Starobin wrote that “this time is different.”

Hysterical headlines in outlets like the Washington Post about a potential “Trump Dictatorship” have been enough to sufficiently terrified low-information leftists, persuading them that they, like the asylum seekers currently flooding into the U.S., face a credible fear of persecution.

Thus, contrary to conventional wisdom, as the attacks on Trump in the U.S. media grow even more hyperbolic during the election season, the effect may be to create a sort of reverse immigration, offsetting the Great Replacement attempted under Biden and helping, in part, to fulfill Trump’s promise to “make America great again.”

As for countries like Italy, which have become desirable target desinations for America’s idle and unwanted castoffs, they would be wise to consider reining in their own immigration policies.

“When we do voter registration, we register everybody,” said Martha McDevitt–Pugh, the international chair of Democrats Abroad, a foreign branch of the Democratic National Committee. “And we come overwhelmingly across Democrats who want to vote.”

New J6 Footage Shows Kamala Harris Leaving Capitol before Breach, Undermining DOJ Narrative

New J6 Footage Shows Kamala Harris Leaving Capitol before Breach, Undermining DOJ Narrative

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The House Oversight Committee released the largest tranche of Jan. 6 footage to date on Friday, publishing 5,000 hours of video documenting the Capitol Hill uprising.

Much of the footage has been analyzed by Jan. 6 defendant William Pope, who released his findings on Twitter.

Perhaps the most notable finding from Pope was footage of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris leaving the Capitol at 11:21 a.m.—hours before the building was breached by angry protestors.

Pope’s findings definitively disproves prior assertions by the Justice Department that Harris was in the Capitol when rioters broke into the building.

DOJ prosecutors had already admitted years ago that Harris was blocks away at the offices of the Democratic National Committee when the Capitol was breached—she was removed from the DNC, too, when a pipe bomb was discovered there, which is a subject of another controversy—but the surveillance footage underscores the DOJ’s previous lies for all to see.

Along with the footage of Harris, Pope also found video of possible FBI agents cheering as protestors stormed the Capitol. Pope filed a motion last month to compel the Justice Department to release evidence related to multiple FBI agents who were among the crowd of protestors on the east side of the Capitol building.

Meanwhile, Pope and others continue to call for the House to release all 44,000-plus hours of J6 footage as soon as possible. Prior to Friday, the House only released about 162 hours.

“It’s hard to stress how significant the recent January 6 CCTV release is. We still have only ~10%, but for those of us who have been living in this video, like every day is Groundhog Day, these materials are a huge boost to research capabilities,” he said on Twitter. “I only wish we’d had it sooner!”

The limited footage released outside the Justice Department’s channels has been revelatory.

For instance, footage obtained by Tucker Carlson showed that Jacob Chansley—also known as QAnon Shaman—peacefully strolling through the Capitol with a police escort—undermining the narrative that he was a violent insurrectionist.

More substantially, Blaze Media claims to have reviewed footage that contradicts sworn testimony that a Capitol Police Special Agent gave at the Oath Keepers’ sedition trial last year.

Report: Egyptians Trading in Gold amid Fiat Currency Collapse

Report: Egyptians Trading in Gold amid Fiat Currency Collapse

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) In what could be a harbinger of things to come for the U.S., the New York Times reported this week that Egyptians are flocking to gold as the country’s fiat currency, the pound, collapses.

The March 5 Times article reported that demand for gold in Egypt has more than doubled, and that the value of the yellow metal has increased by more than 30 percent compared to the country’s fiat currency since September.

Gold still isn’t being used widespread as a medium of exchange in Egypt—the Times reported that many citizens are now using the black-market U.S. dollar as their preferred currency—but the government is reportedly moving in that direction.

“The market grew so fevered that the government announced in November that it was partnering with a financial technology company to install A.T.M.s that would dispense gold bars instead of cash,” the Times reported.

The Times article is the latest admission by mainstream sources that the demand for precious metals is skyrocketing fiat currencies collapse.

Reuters reported last month that the price of one gram of silver more than doubled in a year to 47 Egyptian pounds—though it remains far cheaper than gold. The price of a gram of 21 carat gold rose more than 120% to 3,875 Egyptian pounds during that same time, according to Reuters.

“Silver is the new gold,” said a salesman at a Cairo silver store told Reuters.

There doesn’t appear to be an end in sight for the Egyptian demand for precious metals. The Egyptian pound further crashed Wednesday as the government initiated a devaluation of more than 38%, while also hiking interest rates, according to an article in Zero Hedge.

Reacting last month to the skyrocketing silver demand in Egypt, the online bullion dealer Money Metals recommended that Americans consider following the lead of their Egyptian counterparts in hedging against their fiat currency.

“With silver significantly underpriced, and gold set up for a bull run when the Fed returns to its inflationary policies, Egyptians seem to be making a smart choice,” stated Money Metals analyst Mike Maharrey. “And it might not be a bad idea for Americans as well.”
