911 Call Exposes Frantic Efforts to Save Obama Chef from Drowning

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Newly released audio of a 911 emergency call has shed light on the frantic attempts to rescue former President Barack Obama’s personal chef, Tafari Campbell, from drowning off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard.  

First reported by the Daily Mail, the heavily redacted audio revealed the harrowing sequence of events that led to the tragic passing of the 45-year-old chef. 

“We have a male drowning in the back of the property now,” an individual identified as “Dave” informed the emergency responders. “We have our rescue swimmers, they’re attempting to go out there right now.”

Investigators claimed that Campbell had lost balance while paddleboarding, causing him to disappear beneath the water. Despite the efforts of the rescue team, his lifeless body was discovered several hours later. Authorities ruled that the cause of death was accidental drowning, but questions remained unsolved as Campbell reportedly knew how to swim.

The released audio offered limited information to due to redactions made by the Dukes County Sheriff’s Office, reportedly to shield the identities of those involved and to withhold specific details about the former president’s property. 

During the distress call, the agent’s urgent exchange paints a harrowing picture of the property. “911 call, this line’s recorded, where is your emergency?” a male dispatcher asks, followed by a 10-second bleep. 

“A rescue swimmer and an agent driving down there right now to get on the boat,” the agent told the dispatcher. “Someone came running up to our back post, saying a gentleman, it’s just a guest of the house, is out there drowning. So right now our rescue swimmer is going out there.” 

The audio shows another bleep seconds until the emergency dispatcher asks, “Do you need an ambulance or water rescue as well?” 

Unable to respond, the agent asks his colleagues for answers. “They didn’t advise right now. I would say at least an ambulance. I don’t know what they’re doing in the back of property right now. We have our rescue swimmer who’s getting the boat right now. So, um, I would say at least an ambulance.”

Insurrectionist Bowman Slapped w/ Sweetheart Deal after Fire Alarm Debacle

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., secured a controversial plea deal following misdemeanor charges for pulling a fire alarm as Congress debated a government spending bill that averted a government shutdown.

The charges, laid by the Capitol Police, accused Bowman of triggering a false alarm during a government proceeding. A court filing concluded that there was “probable cause to believe that the defendant willfully or knowingly gave a false fire alarm within the District of Columbia.”

Facing the prospect of six months in prison and a fine of up to $1,000, Bowman entered a plea agreement with D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb, also a Democrat. The agreement promises the charges will be dropped in three months if Jamaal issues a public apology and pays the $1,000 fine.

“I am responsible for activating a fire alarm, I will be paying the fine issued, and look forward to these charges being ultimately dropped,” Bowman asserted in response to the plea deal.

Contrary to his initial defense, an affidavit filed by a Capitol Police investigator portrayed Bowman as potentially uncooperative, citing his delayed notification of law enforcement only after being contacted by the Sergeant at Arms. 

According to the affidavit, Bowman claimed that he misread the sign as saying, “emergency exit only push to open.” However, the official sign reads, “Emergency Exit Only Push Until Alarm Sounds (3 Seconds) Door Will Unlock in 30 Seconds.” 

Security footage unveiled Bowman’s leisurely departure after the alleged incident.

Several Republican lawmakers swiftly denounced the preferential treatment given to Bowman, drawing parallels to the handling of the January 6th Capitol protestors.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., took to Twitter on Wednesday to slam the deal. “Is Jamaal Bowman going to be thrown into the DC Gulag without bail? Will the FBI be raiding his home in the middle of the night? How many days in solitary confinement will he receive?” Greene said.

Mollie Hemingway, the Federalist’s editor, mirrored Greene’s sentiments saying, “I bet J6 folks wish they could get the same gentle treatment afforded to insurrectionist Jamaal Bowman.

DeSantis Bans Pro-Hamas Student Group from Fla. Universities

DeSantis Bans Pro-Hamas Student Group from Fla. Universities

(Headline USA) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced this week that he was banning a radical pro-Palestinian student organization from the state’s university system, accusing it of supporting terrorism.

DeSantis and the State University System of Florida said that Students for Justice in Palestine—which has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and whose national leadership came out in support of Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack in Israel—will be dismantled statewide.

“Based on the National SJP’s support of terrorism, in consultation with Governor DeSantis, the student chapters must be deactivated,” the system’s Chancellor Ray Rodrigues wrote in a letter to university leaders.

SJP is active in at least two Florida universities: the University of North Florida in Jacksonville and Florida State University in Tallahassee.

Rodrigues noted SJP’s support of Hamas may even be a criminal offense.

“It is a felony under Florida law to ‘knowingly provide material support … to a designated foreign terrorist organization,’” the memo said.

After Hamas’s attack, SJP’s national arm praised it as “a historic win for the Palestinian resistance” and called for a “day of resistance” on Oct. 12 by its chapters.

National SJP also made it clear that pro-Palestinian students are not separate from Hamas. 

“Palestinian students in exile are PART of this movement,” they said in a statement.

DeSantis has taken a hard line against pro-Palestinian efforts, vowing to cancel student visas and deport anyone in the U.S. who supports Hamas if he is elected president in 2024. 

He has also authorized up to $50 million for open-ended charter flights to help Floridians in Israel return to the U.S.

“There are more than 20,000 Americans, including Floridians, in Israel who wish to return home but are unable to do so,” the governor’s director of communications Jason Mahon said.

Mahon went on to blast the Biden administration for not organizing its own rescue flights.

“Unlike the governments of other countries, the Biden Administration has failed to launch any form of rescue or evacuation operations for Americans, including Floridians, stranded in the region, and has failed to provide information requested by the state of Florida,” he said.

UFC Makes Bud Light Its Official Beer

UFC Makes Bud Light Its Official Beer

(Headline USA) Ultimate Fighting Championship announced this week that it was partnering with Anheuser–Busch to make Bud Light its official beer, CNN reported.

Bud Light served as UFC’s sponsor from 2008 through 2017. This new deal is reportedly nine-figures and will last another six years.

It comes as Anheuser–Busch, Bud Light’s parent company, suffers from heavy financial losses incurred as a result of its woke partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and the boycotts that ensued, driven largely by conservatives.

UFC President Dana White—an outspoken conservative and close friend of former U.S. President Donald Trump—defended his company’s partnership with Bud Light, claiming he was looking at “all the good things” Anheuser–Busch has done over the years. 

“Going to this deal, you know, I know all the controversy and everything else, but for myself, going to a long-term deal with another sponsor, I want to be with somebody that I’m actually aligned with,” White told Fox News. 

Ironically, prior to their earlier sponsorship agreement, Anheuser–Busch, which had a partnership with professional boxing, had lobbied the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to ban UFC fighting. McCain’s wife, Cindy, is heiress to one of the beer company’s largest U.S. distributors, Hensley Beverage Company.

That effort eventially failed, however, and a vindicated White let bygones be bygones by accepting vast sums of money from the one time threat.

Now, he’s hoping the lure of the octagon will entice his loyal fans to bury their grudges with the disgraced beer-maker over its virtue-signaling folly.

“I know people were upset with what they did, but I’m looking at all the good things they do,” White said.

“You know, they employ 65,000 Americans,” he continued. “They have thousands of vets that work for them. They spent $700 million a year with U.S. farmers using their crops to make their products, and many, many, other great things that Anheuser-Busch had done in this country.”

Not all of their agricultural associations are positive ones, however.

Globalist billionaire Bill Gates, who has been criticized, among other things, for his alarming acquisition of vast tracts of U.S. farmland, also bought up 1.7 million shares of Anheuser–Busch in September.

Nonetheless, White insisted that money “was not the decision-making” factor in his recent sell-out.

“There’s more to being aligned with a sponsor, a major sponsor like that, for as long as I’m going to be,” he claimed. “… There are many other things that are important to me other than just the money.”

For example, Anheuser–Busch’s commitment to supporting law enforcement was important, White said.

“I’m very big into law enforcement and military,” he explained. “And over the last, I don’t know how many years, they’ve spent like $45 million taking care of these servicemen and first responders who have died, taking care of their families, scholarships for their kids and things like that. So I am very aligned with Anheuser–Busch.

It’s unlikely UFC will convince consumers to agree. Already, the company is facing its own boycott for partnering with Bud Light.

“UFC BOYCOTT IS ON,” tweeted one user following the announcement.

Another added: “Time to double down on the #BoycottBudLight and now #BoycottUFC.”

Biden Conceals Nationality of Palestinians Caught at Southern Border

Biden Conceals Nationality of Palestinians Caught at Southern Border

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A damning report accused the Biden administration of deliberately concealing the true nationality of illegal aliens apprehended at the southern border, with particular focus on individuals of Palestinian background. 

According to the Daily Caller, Customs and Border Protection has been categorizing Palestinians attempting to cross the border illegally under other nationalities. 

An internal database, reviewed by the Caller on Wednesday, revealed that there exists no distinct category for “Palestine” within the records of apprehended individuals. Searches specifically for Palestinians yield “no matches.” 

This revelation comes in the wake of an internal memo cautioning that terrorists associated with Palestinian groups might be attempting to exploit vulnerabilities at the border.

In a disturbing interview, former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott confirmed the absence of such categories.  

“There is no written policy on how to record a Palestinian,” Scott declared. “In my experience, since this falls within the legal borders of Israel, individuals would be documented as Israel and the narrative, which is not easily searchable would likely but not automatically explain that the individual claims to be Palestinian.” 

Scott further explained that the data entered into the DHS systems relies on the voluntary disclosure of the individuals detained. “The narrative is 100% dependent upon what the agent wants to include and what information the agent has time to get,” he added. 

Earlier this month, a San Diego CBP field office highlighted the potential presence of terrorists attempting to exploit the war in the Gaza Strip by entering the U.S. illegally. 

“San Diego Field Office Intelligence Unit assesses that individuals inspired by, or reacting to the current Israel-Hamas conflict may attempt travel to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East via circuitous transit across the Southwest border,” read the internal memo, according to the Caller. 

“Foreign fighters motivated by ideology or mercenary soldiers of fortune may attempt to obfuscate travel to or from the US to or from countries in the Middle East through Mexico,” the memo added. 

Additionally, the memo explicitly named Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah as possible entities seeking illegal entry into the U.S.

N.J. School District Bans Halloween Due to Worries over Inequity

N.J. School District Bans Halloween Due to Worries over Inequity

(Headline USA) A New Jersey school district announced this week that it will ban Halloween decorations, celebrations and costumes during school hours, citing its dedication to “diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Ronald Taylor, superintendent of South Orange & Maplewood School District wrote a letter to parents explaining the district’s grinchy devotion to politically correct wokeism.

“As you know, SOMSD is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion meaningfully—not just saying the words but also promoting an inclusive school,” Taylor wrote.

“… Our aim is to build a consistent approach across the District as to how our schools observe and celebrate holidays and special events,” he added. “Each year, questions arise from families, students, and staff about what SOMSD schools will be doing regarding Halloween.” 

This year, he said, the district decided to do away with all school-sponsored celebrations and instead do a festival that was focused on autumn. 

The decision was based on several questions, Taylor said:

“Is promoting school-sponsored Halloween activities creating indirect and unintentional financial hardships for students and families? Do school-sponsored Halloween activities violate the dignity of some of our students and families, either culturally or religiously? Does the promotion of school-sponsored Halloween activities create tensions with the equity and access values of SOMSD?” he wrote.

Taylor said he recognized the decision may be disappointing to some students and families, but he argued it was necessary to keep the district’s “commitment to building equity, fostering inclusion, and building a sense of belonging throughout our schools.”

Even Democrat New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy mocked the district’s leaders.

“Seriously? We can’t let kids celebrate Halloween? Give me a break,” Murphy tweeted.

However, New Jersey Republicans were quick to point out that the school district is simply following the agenda set by Murphy’s party.

“While I shockingly agree with you @GovMurphy, isn’t this the level of woke you’ve been striving for? They’re just following your lead,” wrote state Sen. Edward Durr.

‘Don’t Want Anyone Killed’: Leftist Judge Issues Dramatic Threat Against Trump

‘Don’t Want Anyone Killed’: Leftist Judge Issues Dramatic Threat Against Trump

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) New York Justice Arthur Engoron has slapped former President Donald Trump with a hefty $10,000 fine for allegedly violating a gag order, further escalating tensions in the civil case against the Trump Organization. 

Engoron issued the fine after Trump took the stand to defend his previous comments where the former president raised concerns about a law clerk. 

“As the trier of fact, I find the witness is not credible,” Engoron declared, according to Politico. Notably, this marked the second instance in which the judge punishes Trump for speaking about individuals tied with the courthouse. 

The case in question was first initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Trump and his businesses. 

The specific contentious remarks made by Trump targeted the judge and an unnamed individual. “This judge is a very partisan judge with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is,” Trump had said. 

When pressed by the judge about the intended target of his comments, Trump pointed to Engoron and his former attorney Michael Cohen, stating, “You and Cohen.” 

However, despite Trump’s assertions, Engoron remained unconvinced, suggesting that the intended target was his clerk, Allison Greenfield, who, according to Politico, sits right next to the judge. 

“I am very protective of my staff, as I should be,” a fed-up Engoron retorted, adding, “I don’t want anybody killed. … I stated the last time that any future violations would be severely punished.”  

Engoron continued his rebuke, questioning, “Why should there not be severe sanctions for this blatant, dangerous disobeyal of a court order?” 

Earlier this month, Trump drew attention to the alleged ties between Greenfield and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a leading Trump antagonist. 

“Schumer’s girlfriend, Alison R. Greenfield, is running this case against me. How disgraceful! This case should be dismissed immediately!!” Trump’s post on Truth Social said. He was referring to a photograph of Greenfield and Schumer posted by Judicial Protest, with the caption, “Why is Judge Engoron’s Principal Law Clerk, Allison R. Greenfield, palling around with Chuck Schumer.” 

Earlier this month, Engoron imposed a $5,000 fine on Trump’s presidential campaign for failing to remove the contentious post promptly. Engoron even threatened Trump with potential incarceration should any future violations surface. 

Mark Meadows Confirmed as Anti-Trump Rat in Jack Smith’s Lawfare Case

Mark Meadows Confirmed as Anti-Trump Rat in Jack Smith’s Lawfare Case

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Mark Meadows, the ex-North Carolina congressman and last chief of staff for former President Donald Trump, spoke with Special Counsel Jack Smith at least three times in the past year in exchange for legal immunity, ABC News reported.

Rumors of Meadows’s defection from Team Trump have persisted ever since his subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee in 2021.

Meadows was one of three Trump advisers charged by the Democrat House with “contempt of Congress” for reluctance to comply with the sham Star-Chamber investigation. But unlike Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, he was never charged by the Justice Department due to his eventual cooperation.

The cherry-picked findings of then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked committee largely formed the basis for what became Smith’s case against Trump, alleging that his efforts to challenge the highly suspicious and heavily disputed outcome of the 2020 election amounted to an attempted usurpation of the presidency.

Sources close to the matter said specifically that Meadows was granted immunity if he would agree to testify before a grand jury.

According to those same sources, Meadows repeatedly emphasized to Smith and his legal team that he tried to persuade Trump that the 2020 election voter-fraud allegations had no basis.

“Obviously we didn’t win,” Meadows reportedly told Smith, calling Trump’s rhetoric after the election “dishonest.”

Despite the longstanding murmurs, Meadows’s betrayal of Trump hits hard, especially given that Trump has, in the past, referred to Meadows as  a “special friend” and “a great chief of staff—as good as it gets.”

Further complicating the matter, Meadows himself has delivered contradictory remarks about the chaotic aftermath of the 2020 election.

For instance, he penned a book in 2021, The Chief’s Chief, in which he wrote that the election was both “rigged” and “stolen,” emphasizing the Left’s aid from “allies in the liberal media.”

According to Meadows, there was “actual evidence of fraud, right there in plain sight for anyone to access and analyze.”

Meadows also wrote at the time that people engaged in fraud knew that “eventually, these irregularities would come to light,” and so they “attacked anyone who dared ask questions about what they had done.”

But now, Meadows has changed his tune, claiming instead that he has not seen any concrete evidence of election fraud, and calling the 2020 election one of the most secure in American history.

Meadows’s alleged betrayal prompted a spokesperson from Trump’s campaign team to address the matter.

“Wrongful, unethical leaks throughout these Biden witch-hunts only underscore how detrimental these empty cases are to our Democracy and System of Justice and how vital it is for President Trump’s First Amendment rights to not be infringed upon by un-Constitutional gag orders,” the spokesperson said.

“President Trump will not be deterred by Crooked Joe Biden’s election interference and will continue to focus on winning back the White House and Making America Great Again,” the spokesperson added.

Trump was fined for a second time on Wednesday by New York judge Arthur Engoron for criticizing the far-left judge in the midst of testimony from another one-time Trump confidante who betrayed him under pressure of left-wing lawfare attacks, Michael Cohen.

Engoron, who previously imposed a gag order preventing Trump from criticizing his radical law clerk, forced Trump to the witness stand to clarify a remark he made during a trial break and later deemed his testimony “not credible.”

At least two other former members of Trump’s inner circle of legal advisers—attorneys Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell—have accepted plea deals in a separate case in Fulton County, Ga., with the implication being that they may be compelled to take the stand against Trump.

Report: Over 40 Sources Provided Info to FBI about Biden Family Criminality

Report: Over 40 Sources Provided Info to FBI about Biden Family Criminality

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The FBI received criminal tips from more than 40 informants about Biden-related crimes, but worked to discredit and suppress such information ahead of the 2020 presidential election, according to a Wednesday report from Fox News.

Citing a letter from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Fox reported that the 40-plus informants “provided criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden.” The informants were managed by FBI field offices throughout the country, including in Seattle.

Grassley reportedly learned that the Washington Field Office suppressed information from those sources by falsely discrediting the tips as foreign disinformation—causing “investigative activity to cease” in mid-2020.

In at least one instance, according to Grassley, an informant’s tip was vetted and found to have “no hits to known sources of Russian disinformation.”

“Based on the information provided to my office over a period of years by multiple credible whistleblowers, there appears to be an effort within the Justice Department and FBI to shut down investigative activity relating to the Biden family,” Grassley reportedly wrote in his letter, which was addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray.

“Such decisions point to significant political bias infecting the decision-making of not only the Attorney General and FBI Director, but also line agents and prosecutors.”

Grassley demanded answers from Garland and Wray.

“An essential question that must be answered is this: did the FBI investigate the information or shut it down?” Grassley wrote, demanding that the FBI and DOJ provide answers to his letter by Nov. 17.

The FBI’s apparent suppression of the Biden crime family investigation mirrors what the bureau did with Hillary Clinton  ahead of the 2016 election.

Along with declining to charge Clinton in relation to the email scandal, the FBI also squashed an investigation into possible foreign corruption—a fact revealed earlier this year in the Durham report.

According to that report, an FBI informant made an illegal donation to the 2016 Clinton presidential campaign on behalf of a foreign national, but the informant’s handlers ignored the law-breaking action and steered their investigation away from Clinton.

According to the special prosecutor’s report, the informant’s handler sent him or her the following message: “Do NOT attend any more campaign events, set up meetings, or anything else relating to [Clinton’s] campaign. We need to keep you completely away from that situation. I don’t know all the details, but it’s for your own protection.”

Democrat Loses Bid to Become Alabama’s 1st Tranny Lawmaker

Democrat Loses Bid to Become Alabama’s 1st Tranny Lawmaker

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Following on the heels of several blue states, the citizens of one Alabama district nearly elected Sylvia Swayne to be its first openly transgender representative in the state legislature, according to 1819 News.

However, Swayne was defeated resoundingly in a Tuesday night runoff election, with slightly more than 65% of the vote going toward the candidate’s Democratic primary rival, Birmingham police Sgt. Travis Hendrix, according to Ballotopedia.

Swayne and Travis Hendrix competed in the runoff for the seat in Alabama House District 55 left vacant by former state Rep. Fred Plump Jr., D-Fairfield, who recently pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice of public works funds.

The district includes south Birmingham and much of the surrounding area in western Jefferson County, a solid-blue region that assures Hendrix will run uncontested in the general election.

Swayne beat six local Democratic leaders in the race, and received highfalutin coverage from national media outlets such as Teen Vogue and Newsweek for taking on the transgender lifestyle.

Reports also indicated that Swayne received tens of thousands of dollars from LGBT organizations to fund the relatively small-time campaign.

Hendrix, however, received high-ranking local endorsements from several state-level representatives and the city’s mayor.

Hendrix’s opponents claimed he was “too conservative” for the local voting base, which is 72% black, even though Hendrix himself is black.

He recently took criticism for handing out fliers comparing his qualifications with Swayne’s. The flier highlighted Hendrix’s Birmingham roots, educational background and dedication to bringing jobs to the city.

Hendrix’s qualifications were contrasted with Swayne’s, which explained the suspicious roots of the campaign’s funding and Swayne’s relatively recent relocation from the state’s capital of Montgomery.

The handout concluded with the message “Sylvia was born to be a white man [and] lives as a white woman/transgender.”
