Biden White House Refuses to Block $6B Iranian Bribe

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure to reverse his infamous decision to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian assets as part of a prisoner swap, following Iran’s reported role in the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel.  

The move has ignited a firestorm of controversy as Republicans and critics question the wisdom of releasing funds to a nation potentially complicit in terrorism.

When asked about the decision to allow Iran access to the frozen assets, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan remained disturbingly tight-lipped.

A White House reporter pressed him for answers, saying, “You just laid out all of the ways that Iran is complicit in this and facilitated it over years of support for Hamas. Is that reason enough to refreeze the $6 billion that the U.S. helped unlock for them to get in exchange for the prisoners?” 

Sullivan responded, “We have not yet had a dollar of that $6 billion spent. And I will leave it at that.”

Despite the reporter’s persistence, Sullivan doubled down on his response, adding, “Let me just reiterate what I said, because it’s unequivocal: Not a dollar of that money has been spent. And I will leave it at that.” 

Critics argue that Iran may use the unfrozen assets to bolster terrorist activities. Notably, the Wall Street Journal reported that Iran played a role in assisting Hamas in its recent terrorist attack against Israel. 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has refused to confirm Iran’s involvement in the attack, despite disturbing video footage that appears to show Iranian government officials celebrating the violence. The video captures them chanting, “Death to America! Death to Israel.”

In response to these allegations, Blinken claimed, “We have not yet seen evidence that Iran directed or was behind this particular attack, but there is certainly a long relationship.” 

Failed 2012 Running Mates Romney, Ryan to Host Anti-Trump Candidates

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Ohio, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who teamed up for the failed GOP’s 2012 presidential ticket, hosted Tuesday a behind-close-door party of long-shot, anti-Trump candidates in a bid to secure donor support for their unlikely presidential campaigns.

The private meeting, which the Washington Post first reported, drew prominent figures known for their hatred of former President Donald Trump, the GOP front-runner.

Among those in attendance were former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum—all of whom are polling in single digits, according to FiveThirtyEight.

This gathering also dubbed the “E2 Summit,” was initially conceived by Romney before he ran for the U.S. Senate but was subsequently handed over to Ryan in 2019.

Spencer Zwick, Romney’s former finance chair, admitted in statements to the Post that the gathering is aimed at thwarting Trump’s changes ahead of the Iowa caucuses. 

“To pretend like Donald Trump isn’t looming over the presidential primary would be would be foolish — they understand that. But this group is not just going to sit back and say, ‘Okay, well, let’s just accept that Donald Trump’s going to be the nominee,’” Zwick said. 

He added, “If people in this room, and at this gathering, start to really get behind one or two of these candidates. You’re going to see some real movement in the polls. … At some point, and hopefully in the not too distant future, we can start to coalesce around a smaller group of candidates.” 

Meanwhile, Burgum, who also attended the meeting, started begging for $1 donations from potential supporters in exchange for a $20 gift card as part of a desperate effort to qualify for the third Nov. 8 GOP debate. 

On the other hand, Trump pledged not to participate in any further debates and instead urged the RNC to cancel all upcoming debates, advocating for the party to rally behind his candidacy as the clear frontrunner.

Playboy Fires Porn Star for Praising Hamas’s Slaughter of Jews

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Playboy and other media outlets fired Lebanese American pornstar Mia Khalifa after she glorified the horrific acts of Hamas against Jews in Israel, among which were rape, kidnapping and slaughter.

“Playboy has always been a champion of free speech. We also have no place in our company nor on our platforms for speech that is hateful and dehumanizing. Your recent statements celebrating Hamas attacks on innocent men, women and children in Israel, including rape, mutilation, killing and torture, are disgusting and reprehensible,” Playboy wrote in an email to Khalifa after deleting her channel on its platform.

Before she was fired from every place of her employment, she wrote a series of despicable posts on Twitter after Hamas invaded Israel, which resulted in the deaths of more than 900 Israelis, including women, children and the elderly and at least 11 Americans, Just the News reported.

Hamas, the U.S. State Department-designated terrorist organization that controls the Gaza Strip, also claimed that it had kidnapped 100 Israelis.

“If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time,” she wrote on Saturday.

As reported by Just the News, Khalifa also wrote another post on Twitter, which has since been removed from the platform.

“Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal [sic] ?” she wrote.

Much of the assault was filmed and the footage of Palestinians taunting kidnapped Jewish children, leading women around as they bleed from their backsides, desecrating the bodies of Jews killed by Hamas and more can be found online.

SiriusXM Canada radio host and comedian Todd Shapiro was the very first person to fire Khalifa, which he did in response to her post on Twitter, in which she directed terrorists how to film.

“Consider yourself fired effective immediately. Simply disgusting. Beyond disgusting. Please evolve and become a better human being. The fact you are condoning death, rape, beatings and hostage-taking is truly gross. No words can explain your ignorance,” Shapiro wrote on Saturday.

Khalifa responded to Shapiro on Sunday by doubling down on her rhetoric.

“I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open-air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books that write about how… they freed themselves from apartheid. Please worry about your sad little company lacking direction and purpose before you utter my name again,” she wrote.

Intel Failures, Open Borders Fuel Panic That U.S. Is Next Terrorist Target

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The Biden administration has faced an alarming influx of “special interest aliens” on the United States’ southern border, including individuals from Middle Eastern countries, Fox News reported on Tuesday.

This specific category of individuals has raised concerns within the federal government as they are often linked to potential terrorism or pose a national security threat to the country, particularly those from terrorism-sponsoring countries.

The Fox News report, supported by multiple CBP sources, disclosed that between October 2021 and October 2023, border agents encountered a significant number of nationals from various countries tied to Islamic terrorism. 

“[A]gents encountered 6,386 nationals from Afghanistan in that period as well as 3,153 from Egypt, 659 from Iran and 538 from Syria,” the Fox report stated. “Agents also encountered 13,624 from Uzbekistan, 30,830 from Turkey, 1,613 from Pakistan, 164 from Lebanon, 185 from Jordan, 139 from Yemen, 123 from Iraq and 15,594 from Mauritania.” 

The revelation comes amidst growing concerns from Biden critics that the United States could soon become a potential target for an undetected terrorist attack.

As reported by Just The News on Tuesday, CBP issued a “lookout” warning for males between the ages of 16 and 40 traveling to Jordan with one-way tickets. 

While the CBP insisted that there is no immediate threat and that the advisory is a precautionary measure, these developments coincide with growing concerns among conservatives.

Former DHS Advisor Charles Marino stressed the seriousness of the situation during an interview with Real America’s Voice.

“The reality is that the next war will likely start from within the United States – that’s how infiltrated we’ve been,” Marino told host John Fredericks.

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., echoed Marino’s remarks, calling on immediate action on the southern border chaos.  

“I cannot stress enough how dangerous this is for any nation—especially ours,” Green said on Twitter. “While regimes on the other side of the world chant “death to America,” their people are flooding our border.” 

Nearly 30K Emails from Then-VP Biden’s Office Tied to Family’s Shady Deals 

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Conservative legal group America First Legal unveiled the existence of a trove of nearly 30,000 emails from the office of then-Vice President Joe Biden to his family members’ businesses.

The disclosure was made public via Twitter on Tuesday, further weakening Biden’s claims that there was a “wall” between his official government business and those of his family members. 

The breakdown of the emails is as follows: 19,335 were exchanged with Rosemont Seneca, a now-defunct company owned by Biden’s embattled son, Hunter. An additional 4,243 emails were directed to Hunter himself, while 1,751 were addressed to Jim Biden, the president’s brother and 3,738 were linked to Jim’s Lion Hall Group. 

“BREAKING: Joe Biden’s VP exchanged nearly 20,000 emails with Hunter’s Rosemont Seneca firm. Twenty thousand!!” AFL announced on Tuesday, adding that they obtained the documents through litigation against the infamous National Archives.

The revelation comes amid an impeachment inquiry led by House Republicans against Biden on accusations of corruption and bribery. Specifically, the inquiry centers around an alleged influence-peddling campaign involving himself and family members.

Additionally, the extensive volume of emails contradicts Biden’s previous claim that there was an “absolute wall” between his office and his family’s businesses. 

“I have never discussed, with my son or my brother or with anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses. Period,” Biden falsely claimed in 2019.

“And what I will do is the same thing we did in our administration. There will be an absolute wall between personal and private [business interests] and the government,” Biden’s false statement continued.

On Aug. 30, AFL  announced the discovery of over 1,000 emails between Rosemont Seneca and the vice president’s office. 

“These records provide even more evidence that no daylight existed between Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and the Office of the Vice President during the Obama Administration,” AFL Vice President Gene Hamilton said at the time. 

“The evidence accumulating against the Biden family’s malfeasance is staggering. We will continue to put the pieces of this puzzle together and expose the truth to the American people,” he added.

Israel Eases Gun Laws, Seeks to Arm ‘as Many Citizens as Possible’

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Israel eased its gun laws to arm “as many citizens as possible,” Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said, while former U.S. Ambassador Jeffrey Gunter urged Israelis to pick up guns to defend themselves and their loved ones after the horrific Hamas terror attacks.

“There’s a great desire of Israelis to protect their homeland. And I think along with that will be an increased desire to have gun ownership,” according to Gunter, a Republican Jewish Coalition board member who is running for U.S. Senate in Nevada in 2024 after serving as ambassador to Iceland.

Before easing the gun laws, it was only easy for Israeli Defense Forces soldiers and security personnel to obtain a gun, while private citizens needed to jump through a bunch of hoops to be able to defend themselves, Just the News reported.

An Israeli citizen who never completed national service or military service needed to be 27 years old, live or work in a location considered to be high risk and undergo various examinations to finally be able to get a gun.

On Sunday, Ben Gvir announced that any Israeli citizen who meets the requirements to carry a weapon will be able to have a telephone interview rather than an in-person interview and be approved to carry a weapon within a week.

In addition to that, Israelis who did not meet specific renewal requirements or purchase a firearm before their license expired will still be able to carry. Also, instead of just 50, citizens now may be able to receive conditional permits to purchase up to 100 bullets.

Ben Gvir added that the rules would affect thousands of Israelis and “allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves and protect themselves and their environment when necessary.”

“You will see a greater desire of Israelis, who are very strong and brave people, to protect themselves and embrace the principles that we see in our Second Amendment rights,” Gunter said.

The decision was made after more than 900 people, including at least 11 Americans, were killed, thousands more were injured and about 100 people, including women, children and the elderly, were kidnapped.

Gunter added that considering Israel’s population of more than 9 million people, the numbers would be “the equivalent of something like 30,000 in America, so we cannot forget the disproportionate loss of life, and the wounded in Israel, from this barbaric terrorist attack.”

Hamas Slaughtered At Least 40 Babies, Some Decapitated

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Hamas terrorists brutally killed at least 40 babies and children, some of whom were beheaded, in the Israeli town of Kfar Aza, Israeli officials and reporters said on Tuesday.

The harrowing killings occurred on Saturday in an Israeli city near the Gaza Strip, leaving journalists on the ground visibly distraught.

“It’s hard to even explain exactly just the mass casualties that happened right here,” i24 News correspondent Nicole Zedek reported, as detailed by the New York Post. Zedek was broadcasting live, where she showcased visibly disturbed officers who surveyed the aftermath of the horrifying attack.

“Babies with their heads cut off, that’s what [the soldiers] said. Gunned down. Families gunned down, completely gunned down in their beds,” Zedek said. Describing the scene as “sheen horror,” she added, “This is nothing that anyone would have even imagined.”

Gen. Itai Veruv, an Israeli official who heads the IDF’s Depth Command, also spoke to reporters about the heartbreaking scene he witnessed. 

“It’s not a war,” Veruv said. “It’s not a battlefield. You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms, and how the terrorists kill them. It’s not a war. … It’s a massacre.”

CNN confirmed the disturbing reports, with journalist Nic Robertson stating, “There were so many murdered members of this Kibbutz. Men, women, children, hands bound, shot, executed, heads cut.”

French journalist Margot Haddad echoed the tragic reporting. “Infants and children under 2 years old were beheaded by Hamas in the Kibbutz of Kfar Aza,” she said in a Franch-language post on Twitter.  “It is a horror, a massacre,” she said in a French-language post that was translated by Headline USA. “For those asking for the source. They are multiple: Israeli army, internal intelligence service and atrocious images which reached me and which I was able to cross-check.”  

The Israeli armed forces faced immense difficulties in removing the casualties, as many of the houses were covered with grenades and potential booby traps, according to Nicole Zedek’s report.

Scientists Say Swearing Is a Sign of Higher Intelligence

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A recent study done by psychologists at Marist College found that there may be a connection between high intelligence and consistent use of swear words.

Researchers measured verbal fluency by asking participants to list as many words as they could think of in a minute, starting with a particular letter of the alphabet.

Researchers then had participants undergo the swearing fluency task, thinking of as many swear words as they could within the allotted time.

According to Science Alert, the psychologists discovered that many people who scored high on the initial test also scored high on the swearing test. Those who reported lower fluency rates also scored lower swearing rates.

The study determined no differences between the sexes in rates of swearing fluency.

“A voluminous taboo lexicon may better be considered an indicator of healthy verbal abilities rather than a cover for their deficiencies,” the study read. “Speakers who use taboo words understand their general expressive content as well as nuanced distinctions that must be drawn to use slurs appropriately.”

The study argued that articulate speakers employ swear words, slurs and other taboo forms of language to emphasize their points and communicate expressively.

In another related study, participants played video games—some played a golf game; others first person shooter games—and then completed the swearing fluency task.

Participants who played first-person shooter games were more apt to complete the swearing-fluency task, leading to the belief that heightened emotions can facilitate a greater tendency to swear.

The study also linked swearing to natural pain-relief, as participants who repeated swear words with their hand in ice water were able to withstand the pain for longer than those who repeated a neutral word.

The former group also showed an increased heart rate, showing a release of adrenaline and a natural pain relief known as “stress-induce analgesia.”

One of the researchers said his wife inspired collection of studies, as she swore profusely when giving birth to their daughter. The midwives on the premises explained it was a common occurrence.

Far-Left Anti-Defamation League Suddenly Discovers MSNBC’s Extreme Bias

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In a recent appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Jonathan Greenblatt, director of the far-left Anti-Defamation League, called out the network’s partisan bias for its sympathetic stance on Hamas terrorists, the Daily Caller reported.

Saturday’s barbaric attack on Israel has led to an unlikely realignment in American politics.

Those on both the Left and Right have had to take inventory of their beliefs while weighing their support for the Jewish state of Israel and its conservative leader, Benjamin Netanyahu in its war against the Islamic forces, backed by Iran, that wish to see Israel’s territory reclaimed by Palestine and its Jewish residents gone.

For left-wing Jewish Americans, the burden of reconciling their political views with their loyalty to their spiritual and cultural identity is particularly challenging.

Greenblatt, for one, admitted that “these have been some of the hardest days of my adult life.”

In particular, he said he was outraged by media coverage that painted a false equivalency—or even sympathized with the plight of the terrorists

“I’ll be honest, I am angry,” he said. “I am angry with a world that allowed the dehumanization of Israelis and sanitized the terrorism of Hamas.”

It marked a dramatic departure for the ADL, which in recent years has become overtly political and anti-conservative, but now finds itself allied with those it so often seeks to persecute and silence.

Greenblatt praised MSNBC for its hard left journalism, but also condemned the network for not expressing sufficiently pro-Israel sentiments.

“I must say, I love this show and I love this network but I gotta ask, who is writing the scripts?” he asked host Jonathan Lemire.

“Hamas, the people who did this, they are not fighters, Jonathan,” Greenblatt continued. “They are not militants, and I am looking right at the camera: They are terrorists.”

Greenblatt said the Israelis were fighting for their very existence in a war between civilization and barbarism.

“It is a barbarian who rapes and brutalizes women, who kills children in front of their parents and then, brings them over to Gaza.”

He noted that the actions were not the result of a spontaneous uprising, but had been a stealth attack at least two years in the making as Hamas deceived Israel into thinking that it was not interested in fighting.

“This was a massacre that was pre-planned,” he said.

MSNBC, in his view, needs to “get the story right,” he added.

Greenblatt was responding to a talking point that has passed around recently which expressed skepticism about Israel as a nation state, and particularly America’s unabashed support of the middle eastern nation state.

For instance, Harvard, an elitist leftist institution in its own right, numerous student groups penned a letter blaming the Israelis for instigating the conflict over time.

“Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum,” the statement said.

“The apartheid regime is the only one to blame. Israeli violence has structured every aspect of Palestinian existence for 75 years.”

Bill Gates Invests $40M to Test mRNA Vaccines in Africa

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) It was revealed that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation spent $40 million on countries in Africa and other economically poor nations to produce mRNA vaccines, pretending that the reason why that is being done is because he wants to prevent people from getting tuberculosis and malaria.

An Oct. 9, 2023, press release indicated that the Gates Foundation announced $40 million in funding to “advance access to mRNA research and vaccine manufacturing technology that will support low-and middle-income countries’ [LMICs] capacity to develop high-quality, lifesaving vaccines at scale,” the Epoch Times reported.

These millions of dollars were spent on boosting access to a low-cost mRNA research and manufacturing platform that was developed by Quantoom Biosciences — a company that is based in Belgium.

In addition to Quantoom receiving $20 million, two research institutes in Africa that are located in Senegal and South Africa got $5 million each. Vaccine manufacturers from low- and middle-income countries received the remaining $10 million.

The Gates Foundation tried justifying its actions by saying in its press release that Quantoom’s platform can lead to a more than 50% drop in mRNA vaccine development costs compared to traditional mRNA technology.

The foundation also argued that mRNA vaccines have “simpler research and manufacturing processes” compared to traditional vaccines, adding that the expansion of the technology to African countries can lead to the development of low-cost mRNA vaccines for diseases like malaria and tuberculosis.

Previously, the foundation also invested $55 million in mRNA manufacturing technology.

Dr. Muhammad Ali Pate, Nigeria’s coordinating minister of health and social welfare and a global expert on vaccines, supported the investment by the Gates family.

“Putting innovative mRNA technology in the hands of researchers and manufacturers in Africa and around the world will help ensure more people benefit from next-generation vaccines. This collaboration is an encouraging step that will increase access to critical health technologies and help African countries develop vaccines that meet the needs of their people,” he said.

However, the evidence indicated that the Gates family doesn’t have good intentions.

It was previously reported that Bill Gates, with the approval of the Biden administration, released an army of genetically modified mosquitoes in the states of Florida and California, while also being suspected of doing a similar thing in Massachusetts.

Aside from mosquitoes, Gates had other ideas on how he could control the population, among which was pushing the airborne, insecticide-like “vaccines.” As of Oct. 2, 2023, researchers from Yale University already begun human trials on these types of “vaccines.”

In addition to that, scientist Drew Weissman, who won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his role in developing mRNA technology, warned in a 2018 paper about the risks and side effects of mRNA vaccines.
