Fetterman Says Far Left ‘Wants Me to Die’ After Breaking w/ Progressive Label

(Headline USA) Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said activists on the far left were hoping that he would die after he distanced himself from the “progressive” label last week.

Fetterman, who suffered a near-fatal stroke in May 2022 while campaigning for the Senate, revealed that he no longer considers himself aligned with the left-wing of the Democratic Party because of several key issues, including support for Israel and the border crisis.

“It’s just a place where I’m not,” he told the New York Times on Wednesday. “I don’t feel like I’ve left the label; it’s just more that it’s left me.”

Now, he said he feels like “the Right, and now the Left, are hoping that I die. There are ones that are rooting for another blood clot,” he said in reference to his stroke. “They have both now been wishing that I die.”

Fetterman has come out strongly against his Democratic colleagues ever since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which he said shouldn’t “surprise” anyone.

“I’m not really sure what part of any of this would be a surprise if anyone’s been paying attention,” Fetterman said of his long-standing support for Israel.

He also added that he doesn’t understand the leftist, pro-Palestinian protesters who hate Israel, which is “really the only progressive nation in the region that embraces the same kind of values I would expect we would want as a society.”

The Democrat also distanced himself from his party on immigration, reiterating that he does not think it’s “unreasonable to have a secured border.”

“I would never put Dreamers in harm’s way, or support any kind of cruelty or mass expulsion of hundreds of thousands of people. But it’s a reasonable conversation to talk about the border,” he said.

Fetterman noted he still supports many goals that would be considered progressive, such as a $15 minimum wage, universal healthcare and abolishing the Senate filibuster. He also admitted that he plans to always be a Democratic vote in the Senate.

Fulton County Attorney Convicted in $7M Covid Relief Fraud

Fulton County Attorney Convicted in $7M Covid Relief Fraud

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Shelitha Robertson, a former city prosecutor and failed Fulton County judicial candidate, has been convicted of fraudulently obtaining $7 million in taxpayer funds through the infamous Paycheck Protection Program, the DOJ announced on Wednesday.

Federal prosecutors accused Robertson of using the hefty sum to fund her lavish lifestyle, which notably included the purchase of a Rolls-Royce luxury vehicle, a motorcycle and a $148,000 diamond ring.

Robertson unsuccessfully ran for judge in the Fulton County Judicial Circuit and previously campaigned as a Democrat for the Georgia House of Representatives.

“According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Shelitha Robertson, 62, of Atlanta, conspired to submit PPP loan applications on behalf of four businesses she owned,” the DOJ said in a statement.

Federal prosecutors said that Robertson’s loan applications falsely inflated the total number of employees and the monthly payroll rate for her business in an illegal bid to increase her PPP eligibility. The attorney, previously employed as a city police officer and attorney, also facilitated the submission of falsified tax documents to back her falsehood-laden PPP applications.

Scheduled for sentencing on April 11, 2024, Robertson faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison for each count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. She also faces a potential maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for money laundering, according to federal prosecutors. 

“Robertson is the second defendant to be convicted as part of the Justice Department’s prosecution of an approximately $15 million PPP fraud conspiracy,” prosecutors added. 

The prosecution followed the launch of the COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement Task Force to uncover potential fraud allegations linked the federal government’s pandemic-related relief programs.

Robertson previously denied all accusations, shifting blame for her former personal attorney, Chandra Norton, who pleaded guilty on a separate charge, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. 

Upon her arrest, Robertson allegedly threatened to kill Norton and issued a separate threat to an individual who filed a police report. 

Robertson was found guilty by a jury of seven men and five women, according to the news outlet.

‘See You Next Year’: Biden Spox Struggles to Name One Border Policy

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to identify a single Biden administration policy aimed at securing the southern border amid rampant illegal immigration. 

During Thursday’s press briefing, Jean-Pierre declined to respond to questions about potential immigration policies President Joe Biden is open to discuss with Congressional Republicans amid a standoff on Ukrainian and U.S. border funding.

“Can you tell the American people if there’s any immigration policy that this White House is willing to talk about and is working on with Republicans,” one reporter asked. However, Jean-Pierre replied that she did not want to usurp ongoing negotiations. 

“I want to be really careful as negotiations happen,” Jean-Pierre claimed. “We don’t want to do this in the public, right? It does not help the process. We want to make sure that those negotiations are happening, obviously we’re part of those negotiations with the senators.”

The White House and Republican members of Congress are currently engaged in negotiations for a potentially bipartisan agreement to back funding for both the U.S. southern border and Ukraine.

Initially, Biden aimed to link Ukrainian funding with a House-passed bill for Israel, totaling $14.3 billion. However, House Republicans vehemently opposed such a move, insisting that any future funding for Ukraine’s defense against Russia must be tied to southern border funding. 

Jean-Pierre expressed optimism about the “right direction” of these negotiations. “We want to make sure we get some bipartisan agreement. It’s incredibly important. The president understands… that we have to fix this immigration system. It is been broken for decades now. So we have to do everything we can to fix that system.” The press secretary ended the press conference by saying, “See you next year.”

The Biden administration has faced bipartisan criticism for its policy mishaps at the southern border, prompting Gov. Katie Hobbs, D-Ariz., to deploy the state national guard and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, to empower state law enforcement to detain illegal immigrants intercepted while crossing the border. 

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, both Democrats, criticized the federal government’s leniency at the border, saying that their cities are being overwhelmed by the flow of illegal aliens.

Similarly, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., urged Biden to take executive action to address the unprecedented surge of illegal immigration at the southern border. 

Proposed policies include ending “catch-and-release,” limiting parole authority, reinstating the Trump administration-era Remain in Mexico policy, expediting deportations and building a border wall.

Actress Cries ‘Uncle Sam’ Taking Half Income, Despite Endorsing Socialist in 2020

Actress Cries ‘Uncle Sam’ Taking Half Income, Despite Endorsing Socialist in 2020

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A popular black actress broke down when confirming reports that she considered quitting acting due to the meager pay she received after deductions by “Uncle Sam.”

In a viral interview on Gayle King in the House, Bernie Sanders-backer Taraji P. Henson, known for her role in Empire alongside embattled actor Jussie Smollett, listed high taxes and inequality as the main reasons she almost exited her lifelong career as an actor.

“I’m just tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do, getting paid a fraction of the cost,” Henson said during the Gayle King’s SiriusXM show. “I’m tired of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over. You get tired. I hear people go, ‘You work a lot.’ I have to. The math ain’t math-ing.”

Moreover, Henson declared that at least half of her gross earnings from highly-acclaimed movies were claimed by taxes.

“When you hear someone saying, ‘Oh, such and such made $10 million,’ know that didn’t make it to their account. Know that off the top, Uncle Sam is getting 50%. Ok? Do the math, now we have $5 million. Your team is getting 30% off what you gross, not after what Uncle Sam took. Now do the math,” she continued. 

In a 2019 interview with Variety, Henson expressed anger, stating she was paid $100,000 for her role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. She said she initially requested $500,000. 

“I asked for half a million. That’s it,” Henson said. “And they gave me $100,000. Does that make sense? I’m No. 3 on the call sheet. Does that make sense to you? All I was asking was $500,000 – that’s all we were asking for.”

Despite receiving numerous accolades, including an Oscar nomination, the actress struggles to be paid according to her perceived worth.

“I’m only human,” she said. “It seems every time I do something and break another glass ceiling, when it’s time to renegotiate, I’m at the bottom again like I never did what I just did, and I’m tired. I’m tired. It wears on you.” 

Henson gained notoriety for her roles in Hidden Figures, What Men Want, and her most recent project, The Color Purple. Her popular TV show, Empire, was canceled amid the turmoil surrounding Smollett’s false claims of being attacked by supporters of former President Donald Trump. 

The website Celebrity Net Worth estimated Henson’s total net worth at $12 million. In the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, Henson backed then-candidate Joe Biden but previously voiced support for Sanders, I-Vt., a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist.

In March 2022, Biden tapped Henson to serve on the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Bye ‘Brandon’: Aaron Rodgers Invokes Classic ’80s Film in New Biden Nickname

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In an appearance Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers penned a new nickname for President Joe Biden, calling the executive “Weekend at Bernie’s,” Newsweek reported.

Alluding to the 1989 hit movie, Weekend at Bernie’s, Rodgers essentially referred to Biden as a dead man walking, considering the plot of the movie.

“I think ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ should pardon [Edward] Snowden and [Julian] Assange,” Rodgers told McAfee.

“That’s a start. And [Chelsea] Manning. Manning, Snowden and Assange. . . Pardon them all. ‘Weekend at Bernie’s,’ if you’re listening, pardon them all,” he added, referring to the president.

The film is a comedy about two friends who spend a weekend propping up a corpse—the body of their employer—much like the regime and its machinery has been used to prop up the increasingly-senile Biden.

The quarterback coined the new nickname while suggesting that the president pardon NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, as well as Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, who faces extradition from Britain on 18 counts after his site released confidential information from United State diplomacy and military officials.

Rodgers is a routine guest on the McAfee show, and often needles the totalitarian Lft with his libertarian-leaning political views.

From questioning the efficacy of the Big Pharma COVID jabs to calling for the release of the Epstein Island visitor list to hinting at support for rogue left-libertarian candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Rodgers has repeatedly been a thorn in the side of the establishment.

In 2021, Rodgers even got into a spat with the president, who at the time was coercing Americans into getting the jab, culminating in a Rodgers anti-vaccine rant on ESPN.

According to the injured quarterback, Biden’s memory is totally gone.

“He doesn’t remember any of it,” Rodgers told McAfee Tuesday. “He might have said something at some point. He doesn’t remember that either.”

Biden Handler Saves Him from Walking into Wall

Biden Handler Saves Him from Walking into Wall

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Joe Biden recently proved once again that he is both physically and mentally unfit to be in the Oval Office by almost hitting the wall and being saved from even bigger embarrassment only by one of his handlers.

After giving a speech on Dec. 20, 2023, before the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce, the 81-year-old received polite applause and began exiting the stage, which failed, according to Trending Politics.

He turned from the podium, raised his eyebrows and shrugged as if he didn’t know where he was supposed to go. After that, Biden faced the back wall, raised his hands because he was frustrated about the situation, offered a small wave and then started moving toward the wall. Only Biden’s aide was able to prevent him from colliding with a wall, guiding him behind the curtain.

The embarrassing incident occurred just days after Donald Trump mocked Biden in one of his imitations of him, pretending to get lost while walking off the stage and joking that the medications that were fed to Biden by his staff were “wearing off.”  Every time Biden would stumble, space out or otherwise prove to everybody else that he is getting too old for the job, Trump would mock him even more, adding that Biden would not make it to 2024 Election Day.

The White House that is fully aware that Biden’s consequences of his old age are his biggest problem launched a full-scale plan to prevent him from making himself look even worse in public by outfitting him with special shoes and allowing him to board Air Force One via a smaller auxiliary set of stairs.

They even forced Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to shamelessly lie by telling everyone that the White House press corps “can’t keep up” with Biden and his supposedly vigorous daily schedule.

Official Biden Campaign Account Literally Compares Trump to Hitler

Official Biden Campaign Account Literally Compares Trump to Hitler

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Conservatives constantly make fun of leftists for calling everybody who disagrees with them a Nazi and the people behind the official Joe Biden campaign account did precisely that — compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.

The graphic, titled “TRUMP PARROTS HITLER,” was published on Twitter on Dec. 20, 2023, and spliced up several quotes from Trump, while also adding words of Hitler for the comparison.

The top “quote” read “We will root them out” before adding in the words “my political opponents that” before again mixing in an actual quote from Trump, referencing a recent campaign rally where he said Democrats ” live like vermin.”

The leftists added some other words to Trump’s “quote” that he didn’t say to make him look and sound more like Hitler.

In another “quote,” the leftists concentrated on the word “vermin” to claim that it is comparable to Hitler calling Jews “vermin” as a justification to exterminate them.

People without the Trump Derangement Syndrome criticized and mocked the leftists for their yet another attempt to villainize Trump.

“You are literally doing what Hitler’s propaganda team did. What I am telling you is that YOU are, in fact, the Nazi. I know that’s not what you wanted to hear, but it’s the truth,” one person wrote.

Others either responded by saying that Biden is an actual Nazi or mocking the pathetic comparisons.

“You’re the dictator. All you can do is call Trump Hitler because you are the tyrant and failed President,” another person wrote.

Since Trump is extremely popular among Americans, Democrats and the lying mainstream media outlets used every method possible to make Trump unelectable, among which was their attempt to focus on the word “vermin” to claim that Trump would become a “dictator” when he is re-elected in 2024, according to Trending Politics.

This phrasing has been parroted in propaganda outlets such as the Atlantic, the New York Times, the Washington Post and several others, all of which were released within the same week.

Both mainstream and cable news outlets have been re-hashing the “dictator” talking point dozens of times in recent weeks.

Airlines Reportedly Issuing ‘NO NAME GIVEN’ Boarding Passes to Immigrants

Airlines Reportedly Issuing ‘NO NAME GIVEN’ Boarding Passes to Immigrants

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Conservative personality Ashley St. Clair said on Thursday that she has obtained unnamed boarding passes allegedly intended for illegal aliens, raising concerns about security risks with airlines transporting immigrants to major U.S. cities.

St. Clair stated that insiders provided her with the alleged boarding passes following her viral video depicting what she claimed were illegal aliens boarding flights headed for New York City.

“I am in possession of legitimate major airline boarding passes for migrants that quite literally have the name printed as ‘NO NAME GIVEN,’” she said on Twitter. 

In a subsequent post, St. Clair declined to share photos of the purported boarding passes due to concerns it might jeopardize her sources’ identities.

“Incredibly difficult to post these without putting the insiders at risk. Working on it. This will continue [to] unfold over the coming weeks but I can confirm these are legitimate boarding passes,” she added, expressing shock at the leaked allegations. 

St. Clair’s accusations coincided with reports from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, suggesting that DHS might have admitted unvetted refugees through the infamous CBP One app. 

Cruz sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to inquire whether TSA is properly vetting and identifying refugee applicants before accepting “alternative” forms of identification. 

“While Americans must present an acceptable form of identification to fly, or at least have their identities confirmed, TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is permitting illegal aliens without ID to opt for an alternate identity verification process utilizing the…’CBP One’ app,” Cruz wrote in a five-page letter.

“In effect, TSA is applying one standard for verifying the identities of American citizens, and another, weaker standard for ‘verifying’ the identities of illegal aliens. This is alarming,” he added.

St. Clair, employed at the satirical news site Babylon Bee, declared receiving numerous tips from individuals tied with major U.S. airlines who are raising concerns that unidentified illegal aliens are being transported into Americans cities. 

“Entire flight full of migrants being shipped from processing centers on @Delta,” she said on a viral video Twitter. “Are taxpayer dollars paying for this????” She added that the alleged immigrants are identifiable because they were carrying bags from Border Patrol processing centers.

If confirmed, these flights would differ from those orchestrated by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. In response to Chicago’s lawsuits against buses transporting immigrants, Abbott announced Texas-sponsored flights to transport illegal aliens to sanctuary cities.

Dem. Presidential Candidate Blasts Colorado Decision Banning Trump from Ballot

Dem. Presidential Candidate Blasts Colorado Decision Banning Trump from Ballot

(Headline USA) Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., came out against the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to ban former President Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot this week, calling it “wrong.”

Phillips, who is challenging President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination, said he believes Trump is “guilty of inspiring an insurrection and doing nothing to stop it,” but noted Trump has not been charged with such crimes, much less convicted.

He also said he expects the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the case “immediately” and that the justices would be right to do so.

In a 4-3 decision on Tuesday, the Colorado Supreme Court found that Trump was disqualified from holding the office of the presidency and could therefore be removed from the state’s ballot as a GOP primary candidate and as a write-in.

However, the state court, which temporarily stayed the controversial ruling, acknowledged the Supreme Court would likely take up the case before its decision can go into effect on Jan. 4, 2024.

“If review is sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires, it shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court,” the ruling noted.

Phillips isn’t the only Democrat opposed to the court’s decision. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who initially launched his campaign as a Democrat, also condemned the court.

“The court has deprived [Trump] of a consequential right without having been convicted of a crime,” Kennedy wrote. “This was done without an evidentiary hearing in which he is given the basic right of confronting his accusers.”

Republican presidential candidates have also come out in support of Trump, with Vivek Ramaswamy pledging to withdraw his name from the state’s ballot as well if the decision is not overturned.

Planned Parenthood Got $1,78M in Tax Dollars for Murdering Babies

Planned Parenthood Got $1,78M in Tax Dollars for Murdering Babies

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A recently released report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office [GAO] revealed that Planned Parenthood took $1,78 billion from the taxpayers’ pockets for murdering unborn babies.

The report that documented the amount of federal funding received by certain baby murderers was requested by 142 congressional Republicans led by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J. and Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., in January 2022.

The U.S. government used taxpayers’ funds to subsidize the domestic and global abortion industry, according to the GAO.

The amount of federal funding received by certain abortion providers between 2019 and 2021 was documented by Federal Funding for Certain Organizations Providing Health-Related Services.

Among the organizations were PP, International Planned Parenthood Federation [IPPF], MSI Reproductive Choices and at least four U.S. abortion slaughterhouses which received a combined total of $1.89 billion through grants, agreements, loans and programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance.

PP, which was responsible for the deaths of over 1 million unborn babies between 2019 and 2021, received the biggest paycheck — $1.78 billion.

Rep. Smith, who is also a co-chairman of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, said that while the PP was receiving an enormous amount of money, Americans were struggling during the COVID-19 hysteria, according to Life News.

“This [amount] included $90.14 million in forgivable loans through the Paycheck Protection Program — money that could have gone to struggling small businesses, many of which were forced to close,” he said.

Smith then continued criticizing PP.

“Federal taxpayer dollars should not be funneled to big abortion corporations like Planned Parenthood, which has killed over 9.3 million unborn children since 1970, including 1.11 million between 2019-2021. This money would have been better spent helping the businesses that were forced to close or providing comprehensive medical support for both women and children,” he said.

Sen. Blackburn also bashed the baby-murdering organization.

“It is appalling that big abortion providers are continuing to receive billions of dollars in federal taxpayer funding. While small businesses struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic, Planned Parenthood illegally siphoned over $90 million from the Paycheck Protection Program, specifically designed to help our mom-and-pop shops keep their doors open,” she said.
