RINO Pence’s 2024 Campaign Plunges into ‘Impossible to Pay’ Debt

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Former Vice President Mike Pence’s 2024 presidential campaign finds itself in a challenging financial position, with an embarrassing debt of $600,000 and only $1.2 million in cash reserves, recent FEC filings revealed. 

According to Politico, despite the fundraising haul of $3.3 million in the third quarter, the campaign is struggling to manage its financial obligations, with Pence injecting $150,000 of his personal funds into the campaign.

Pence’s lackluster performance comes after the former vice president has positioned himself as a cheerleader for the left’s legal prosecutions against his former boss and leading Republican contender, Donald Trump. 

Adding to the campaign’s woes, there has been no official statement regarding whether the Pence campaign has secured enough funds for the upcoming third Republican National Committee debate, scheduled to take place in Miami on Nov. 8. 

“That debt number is gonna be impossible to pay back,” the Pence ally said. “When he drops out he’s going to have to do debt-retirement fundraisers.” 

In an attempt to salvage the situation, some of Pence’s allies have suggested he consider running for the Indiana open seat in the Senate in 2024. However, Pence has remained firm in rejecting the proposal. 

During a recent fundraising conference attended by infamous GOP figures such as Sen. Mitt Romney, Utah, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan, efforts to garner support for anti-Trump candidates seemed to have fallen flat. 

Amidst growing pressure, Pence has resorted to criticizing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, both of whom are currently overshadowing his political prospects 

Reflecting on the disparity in fundraising capacities, Politico reporter Adam Wren commented. 

“It’s wild to have covered both Pete Buttigieg’s 2020 and Mike Pence’s 2024 presidential campaigns,” Wren said on Twitter. “One of them ran as the incumbent mayor of Indiana’s fourth-largest city and raised more than $100 million and won the Iowa caucuses. One of them was VP and has $1.2m cash on hand.”

Mastermind of Hamas Attack Revealed as Iran Terrorist, Killed under Trump Admin

Mastermind of Hamas Attack Revealed as Iran Terrorist, Killed under Trump Admin

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In a recent report by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the Iranian government, led by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was unveiled as the driving force behind last week’s Hamas terrorist onslaught against Israel.

The report underscored the key role played by the late Iranian militant Qassem Soleimani, Fox News reported on Sunday. Notably, Soleimani, who was directly linked to the deaths of over 600 U.S. military servicemen, met his demise at the behest of then-President Donald Trump in 2020.  

According to MEMRI, Khamenei hinted at the “The Complete Conquest” of Israel in 2022 and 2023, with Soleimani masterminding the gruesome assault, claiming approximately 1,300 lives, including U.S. citizens.

A statement from a pro-Iranian regime outlet highlighted the significance of Khamenei’s remarks against Israel.

“The significance is that, last year, the Leader [Khamenei] gave ‘the promise of the imminent conquest,’ and this year he gave ‘the announcement of the complete conquest,’ and Operation Al-Aqsa Flood is part of this imminent conquest,” the propagandist site claimed, according to a Fox translation. 

“This promise and announcement, along with the clarity and power of [Khamenei’s] statements and positions in his meeting [with leaders and ambassadors of Islamic countries] on the occasion of the Prophet [Muhammad’s] birthday, have profound significance and content,” it added. 

The U.S. Department of State, however, dismissed the alleged ties between Iran and Hamas in their recent terrorist attack against Israel 

“Iran has had a long relationship with Hamas, and Hamas wouldn’t be Hamas without the support that it’s gotten over many years from Iran,” the State Department said, directly quoting Blinken.  

“Having said that, when it comes to this specific attack, right now, as we speak, we haven’t seen direct evidence that Iran participated in or helped plan the attack. That doesn’t mean that it didn’t; we just don’t have the evidence to show it. And as I said, there’s a long relationship between the two,” he said. 

Despite this, the Biden administration blocked a $6 billion payout in frozen Iranian assets intended for a prisoner swap earlier this year. 

Republicans have raised concerns that the funds could be easily used to sponsor future terrorist acts against the United States and its allies. 

Crooked Biden Rescued by Big Donors’ $71.3M Lifeline Amid Dismal Polls

Crooked Biden Rescued by Big Donors’ $71.3M Lifeline Amid Dismal Polls

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) As the Biden administration grapples with persistently low approval ratings and a series of controversies, a wave of big Democratic donors swiftly poured money into efforts to salvage the foundering ship of the Biden presidency.

In a joint fundraising venture with the Democratic National Committee, the campaign disclosed a haul of $71.3 million, with half of that money deriving from major donors, as indicated by a report from the New York Times on Sunday. 

The dominance of small-dollar donations typically serves as a measure of grassroots support. However, recent figures revealed that only 21% of Biden’s fundraising for the past three months, in June, originated from such sources. The Times itself acknowledged this proportion to be inferior to that of his potential rival in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump. 

The timing of the donation revelation is critical, as President Joe Biden confronts dishearteningly low poll numbers that imperil his prospects for re-election.

According to a recent Fox News poll, Biden narrowly leads Trump by a meager margin. The same survey unveiled that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis maintains a two-point lead over Biden. 

Amidst these challenges and growing conflict in Israel, Biden issued a forceful condemnation of the recent Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

“The bloody hands of the terrorist organization Hamas — a group whose stated purpose for being is to kill Jews,” Biden said. “This was an act of sheer evil.” 

Despite the stern rhetoric, an ABC News poll released on Sunday disclosed that 54% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the conflict. 

Further exacerbating the mounting pressure, Biden finds himself at the center of an impeachment inquiry led by House Republicans, with allegations ranging from corruption to bribery. Additionally, his son faces a federal indictment over the alleged illegal purchase of a firearm. 

FBI Director Warns of Growing Hamas-Inspired Terror Threats in US

FBI Director Warns of Growing Hamas-Inspired Terror Threats in US

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a grave warning on Saturday to law enforcement officials, raising the alarm about an increasing number of terror threats directed at the United States  

Speaking at the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Wray highlighted a potential Hamas copycat attack as one of the primary concerns.

“History has been witness to antisemitic and other forms of violent extremism for far too long,” he stated, according to an FBI transcript. “We remain committed to continue confronting those threats.”

Wray’s remarks come just a week after Hamas unleashed a deadly terrorist attack on Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,300 individuals, including several American citizens. At present, approximately 150 individuals are being held captive by Hamas terrorists. 

“In this heightened environment, there’s no question we’re seeing an increase in reported threats, and we’ve got to be on the lookout, especially for lone actors who may take inspiration from recent events to commit violence of their own,” he emphasized. 

The FBI director urged law enforcement officials to share any pertinent information they come across, without necessarily delving into specific or imminent threats within the United States. 

“I’d also ask you to continue sharing any intelligence or observations you may have,” Wray urged. “On our end, we’re committed to doing the same, so that together, we can safeguard our communities.” 

Wray’s cautionary message follows recent calls by key Hamas terrorists, including founder Khaled Meshal and political chief Ismail Haniyeh, who have called for a Muslim uprising against Israel. 

“This is the battle of not only the Palestinians or the Gazans, it is the battle of all the Arab and Muslim nations,” Haniyeh declared, while Meshal urged Jordanians to mobilize and cross the border into Israel. 

Despite the potential threat, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., one of the most radical members of the House of Representatives, called on the Biden administration to admit approximately one million refugees from the Hamas-controlled territory in Gaza. 

His calls were quickly met with criticism from Republicans, who argued that Hamas terrorists could infiltrate those potential refugees.

68% of Seattleites Don’t Trust Their City to Spend Tax Dollars Responsibly

68% of Seattleites Don’t Trust Their City to Spend Tax Dollars Responsibly

(Spencer Pauley, The Center Square) – The latest quality of life survey from the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce reveals residents’ growing disdain for how the city is utilizing their tax dollars.

The survey was conducted by EMC Research, with 700 Seattle voters interviewed across each council district from Sept. 14-24.

When given the prompt “I trust the City of Seattle to spend my tax dollars responsibly,” 68% of respondents disagreed with the sentiment.

“68% of voters say they do not trust the city of Seattle to spend their tax dollars responsibly,” Seattle Metro Chamber President Rachel Smith told The Center Square in an email. “Frustrations are increasing because Seattle voters want a plan and they want to see visible progress – it’s the lack of progress that erodes trust.”

The Chamber’s Index survey also found 61% of voters believe that taxes in Seattle are too high for the level of service that the city provides.

The Center Square previously reported on the chamber’s survey revealing public safety was listed as the second-most concerning issue at 48%, behind homelessness at 51%. Only 3% voted for taxes as their most concerning issue.

Despite the rising concerns residents have for their communities, the survey indicates that there is not much trust in city leadership to solve the biggest issues facing Seattle. Only 15% of respondents agreed with the prompt, “I trust that the city has an effective plan to address the critical issues facing our city, like homelessness, affordability and public safety.”

“Crime and public safety as a top concern has increased substantially and has now become a sticking point,” Smith said. “To restore public trust, the city should invest tax dollars in a way that gets results on the most-pressing issues, and do so with transparency and accountability.”

Florida Moves to Fly Stranded Americans Out of Israel

Florida Moves to Fly Stranded Americans Out of Israel

(Bethany Blankely, The Center Square) – After Hamas attacked Israel, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the state would be advancing greater sanctions against Iran. He also declared a state of emergency and issued an executive order to activate the national and state guard and other agencies to help bring Americans home who are stranded in Israel. 

According to some news reports, there are roughly 20,000 Americans, including many Floridians, who are stranded in Israel. They are unable to get out because of commercial flight cancellations and other travel and logistics disruptions due to the ongoing war with Hamas.

The U.S. State Department encouraged stranded Americans to book commercial flights while also recognizing that these flights were being canceled “due to mortar and rocket fire that may take place without warning.”

It also encouraged Americans to arrange and pay for their own lodging. Any transportation out of Israel the federal government might be able to provide requires Americans to sign a promissory note prior to departure, according to a partial State Department email posted on social media by a Jewish rabbi. 

One email notes that the Biden administration is providing transportation by air to Athens or Frankfurt or by sea to Haifa or Cyprus, and Americans have no ability to choose their destination. 

Critics have pointed out the federal government is flying hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals throughout the U.S. after they’ve illegally entered instead of deporting them. They’re being put up in hotels free of charge, given free meals and medical care, as well as other free services, all paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Unlike Americans stranded in Israel, none of the illegal foreign nationals are required to sign a promissory note promising to repay the government for transporting them into the interior; they also get to choose their destination city of choice. 

By contrast, Florida is providing free transportation to stranded Americans wanting to come home. 

According to DeSantis’ executive order “unlike the governments of other countries, the Biden Administration has failed to launch any form of rescue or evacuation operations for Americans, including Floridians, who are stranded in the region, and has failed to provide information requested by the State of Florida about any plans for such operations.”

“Floridians stranded in Israel are requesting help from the Executive Office of the Governor and from nearly every member of Florida’s congressional delegation, because they are not receiving timely assistance from the U.S. Embassy in Israel and are not receiving any follow-up after enrolling in the U.S. Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program,” DeSantis said.

By declaring a state of emergency, DeSantis directed the Division of Emergency Management to execute a “Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and other response, recovery, and mitigation plans necessary to cope with the emergency, including any logistical, rescue, or evacuation operations.” 

This also includes activating the Emergency Management Assistance Compact with other states to coordinate the allocation of resources “to best meet the dangers presented by this emergency.”  

DeSantis also ordered the Adjutant General to activate the Florida National Guard and ordered the Director of the State Guard to activate the Florida State Guard to respond to the emergency as needed.

He also authorized allocation of funds to support these operations through the Emergency Preparedness and Response Fund. 

The executive order is effective for 60 days. 

Florida is home to one of the largest Jewish populations in the world. The Miami area has the second-largest population of Israeli-American citizens in the U.S.

Republican Jeff Landry Wins Louisiana Governor’s Race

Republican Jeff Landry Wins Louisiana Governor’s Race

(Headline USA) Republican Attorney General, Jeff Landry, has won the Louisiana governor’s race, holding off a crowded field of candidates.

The win is a major victory for the GOP as they reclaim the governor’s mansion for the first time in eight years. Landry will replace current Gov. John Bel Edwards, who was unable to seek reelection due to consecutive term limits. Edwards was the only Democratic governor in the Deep South.

“Today’s election says that our state is united,” Landry said during his victory speech Saturday night. “It’s a wake up call and it’s a message that everyone should hear loud and clear, that we the people in this state are going to expect more out of our government from here on out.”

By garnering more than half of the votes, Landry avoided an expected runoff under the state’s “jungle primary” system. The last time there wasn’t a gubernatorial runoff in Louisiana was in 2011 and 2007, when Bobby Jindal, a Republican, won the state’s top position.

The governor-elect, who celebrated with supporters during a watch party in Broussard, Louisiana, described the election as “historic.”

Landry, 52, has raised the profile of attorney general since taking office in 2016. He has used his office to defend the people of Louisiana from radical leftist policies. He has:

Prior to being an A.G., Landry spent two years on Capitol Hill, beginning in 2011, where he represented Louisiana’s 3rd U.S. Congressional District.

Prior to his political career, Landry served 11 years in the Louisiana Army National Guard, was a local police officer, sheriff’s deputy and attorney.

During the gubernatorial election season, Landry had long been considered the early front-runner, winning the endorsement of high profile Republicans — Trump and U.S. Rep Steve Scalise — and an early endorsement from the state GOP.

In addition, Landry has enjoyed a sizable fundraising advantage over the rest of the field throughout the race.

Black Prof. Calls for ‘Algorithmic Reparations’ after Too Many Tinder Rejections

Black Prof. Calls for ‘Algorithmic Reparations’ after Too Many Tinder Rejections

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A University of Michigan professor said that “sexual racism” is a problem that racial minorities are facing while using dating apps.

Apryl Williams researched online dating algorithms and how they impact racial minorities, for which she won an “Anti-Racism Research & Community Impact Faculty Fellowship” through the university where she works, according to the College Fix.

Aside from her project that was titled “No More Swipe Wrongs: Teaching About Automated Sexual Racism through Online Dating Tools,” she also released a book on the same topic to earn more money off of the racial topic.

“If socially constructed racialized beliefs about attractiveness, femininity and masculinity are so deeply entrenched in our society, how can the algorithms that govern our online intimacy experiences claim to avoid them,” Williams said, according to a university news release.

The university in Ann Arbor, Mich., also gave her money for her work on “algorithmic reparations.”

A Drexel University business professor Stanley Ridgley who recently wrote a book about leftist ideology in higher education said that “this type of research is par for the course,” according to the Fix.

“There’s a burgeoning pseudo-academic cottage industry in the discovery of new variants of ‘racism,’ and this El Dorado seems to have no end in sight,” he said.

Ridgley also added that race-obsessed leftists constantly come up with different types of racism.

“I’ve tracked the steady multiplying of various ‘racisms’ for several years now — we’re at more than 25 ‘racisms’ and still counting — and Professor Williams adds yet another to the list. She’s searching for ‘racism,’ eh? No surprise that she ‘found’ it,” he said.

Ridgley then said that the whole point behind that formula is to “contrive one’s very own ‘racism,’ to name it, and then to mine the racial vein for years thereafter.”

“Virtually her entire oeuvre consists of racialist storytelling in cargo cult journals, such as the Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, Ethnicities, and Sociology of Race & Ethnicity,” he said.

After that, Ridgley highlighted that there are some universities, like West Virginia University, that are “cutting genuine academic disciplines just to keep the lights on” while other universities constantly spend a lot of money on the “racialist silliness, where the juice is just not worth the squeeze.”

Even Bill Gates Admits ‘Climate Change’ Is a Hoax

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Even billionaire Bill Gates started backtracking on some of his previous statements about “climate change” during a recent New York Times event.

“There’s a lot of climate exaggeration. The climate is not the end of the planet. So the planet is going to be fine,” he said, adding that while there are effects on humanity, the planet itself won’t be affected and that “no temperate country is going to become uninhabitable.”

Gates then said that world leaders won’t be able to implement “climate change” policies by using “brute force.”

“If you try to do climate brute force, you will get people who say, ‘I like climate but I don’t want to bear that cost and reduce my standard of living.’ Without innovation, it’s unlikely, particularly in middle-income countries, that the brute force approach will be successful,” he said.

After that, Gates called both Republicans and Democrats to support the legislation addressing “climate change.”

“You can’t have a climate policy that when one party is in charge goes full speed ahead and stops cold. These are 30-year investments in steel factories. It’s pretty clear we’re not going to go to extreme scenarios,” he said.

Gates also added that he is “the person who’s doing the most on climate in terms of the innovation and in how we can square multiple goals,” implying that he is an authority when it comes to that issue because he donated a lot of money to the leftist cause.

As reported by the Daily Fetched, Gates became very concerned earlier this year that many Westerners will refuse to live in poverty to fight “climate change.”

“I don’t think we can count on people living an impoverished lifestyle as a solution to climate change. You know, meat consumption in India will be less… Will all Indians become vegetarians? Will all Americans become vegetarians? I wouldn’t want to count on it,” Gates said on March 1, 2023, at an event in India.

Black Man Is Not Charged w/ Hate Crime for Mowing Down White Boys

Black Man Is Not Charged w/ Hate Crime for Mowing Down White Boys

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A black man in Aurora, Colo., won’t be charged with a hate crime for intentionally mowing down white children with his car.

After spotting a group of 11- and 12-year-old white boys walking home from school while he was driving down a suburban street, 21-year-old Colorado resident Oghaleoghene Atunu circled the area before slowly pulling up behind the children and then mowing down two of the three children before leaving the scene of the crime, Fox 31 reported.

One of the victims was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries, while another boy walked away with only minor injuries.

Atunu was arrested after a local citizen identified his 2004 Buick Rendezvous.

Despite both the investigators and the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office confirming that the crash was intentional — since Atunu circled the area as if to find the best way to create the most damage, as shown by the surveillance video — it was concluded that he won’t face a hate crime charge.

However, he was still charged with 15 counts, among which were 3 counts of attempted first-degree murder, 2 counts of attempted first-degree assault, 2 counts of child abuse, 1 count of first-degree assault, 1 count of failing to remain at the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injuries and 1 count of vehicular assault.

In addition to these counts, there was also 1 count of failure to notify police of an accident, 1 count of hit-and-run, 1 count of reckless driving, 1 count of driving a vehicle with an expired driver’s license and 1 count of failure to observe/disregard a traffic control device.

Atunu gaslighted everyone, despite the footage that captured his crime, by saying that he hit the children only because he lost control of his vehicle, adding that he fled the scene because he became scared.

“This case is a prime example of the incredible skills and untiring determination our members have every day to ensure Colorado is as safe as possible. Without a doubt, everyone involved in this investigation is working to ensure the demands of justice are met,” Colorado State Patrol Chief Matthew Packard said.
