Soros DA Facing Recall Says Her Role Has ‘No Impact’ on Crime

(Headline USA) A George Soros-funded California district attorney claimed this week that her role “has really no impact on crime.”

Alameda County district attorney Pamela Price is battling a recall effort over her soft-on-crime policies, which local residents say have made crime worse.

In Oakland alone, robberies have increased by 14% since last year, prompting residents to speak out at a contentious town-hall meeting last month.

“Two kids beat the s*** [out] of me in front of my house last Monday night,” said one North Oakland resident in her 50s during the meeting. “Down on the pavement. Punching me, kicking me, dragging me through the street.”

A political-action committee, Save Alameda for Everyone, launched last week with the goal of removing Price, who has blasted the effort as politically motivated.

“The DA’s role has really no impact on crime,” she claimed during an interview with KPIX-TV.

“To create a safe community, we need to invest in alternatives to incarceration,” she continued. “… Anytime that we can divert someone from the criminal justice system, that is a goal because the criminal-justice system has been shown to be racially biased.

When asked whether her “restorative justice” policies favored perpetrators over victims, Price attempted to flip the script, suggesting that those who committed violent and illegal acts were often justified in doing so due to systemic oppression.

“What studies have shown and is proven in Alameda County, many times people who are perpetrators, or labeled as perpetrators, were actually victims,” she claimed

Price also downplayed rising crime rates throughout Alameda County.

“I live in East Oakland even, and I know a lot of people say, ‘Oh that’s terrible!'” she said. “I feel safe.”

Local residents who have been directly affected by Price’s leniency argued otherwise.

“There’s a lot of families that are victims of Pamela Price and the system that she’s trying to create,” said Lori Mohs, whose son was shot to death by a shoplifter in April. “It will be three months on Tuesday of my son’s death.”

Mohs said her son’s killer, Benicia Knapps, was slapped with a murder charge and an enhancement that carries the least amount of prison time.

“We should be using the judicial system as it should be used, not for personal gain but for the safety of our communities and our children,” Mohs said.

“By not charging the proper ‘gun’ which is discharge and death, Benicia Knapps will serve much less of a sentence and the DA’s office is refusing to do so,” she continued. “It’s not fair that we have to be victimized again.”

Convicted Militia ‘Ringleader’ Could Testify in State Whitmer Kidnap Plot Trial

Convicted Militia ‘Ringleader’ Could Testify in State Whitmer Kidnap Plot Trial

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) A defendant facing state charges over the 2020 alleged militia plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is seeking to have the scheme’s so-called “ringleader” testify in his upcoming trial.

The attorney for Eric Molitor, whose trial for providing material support for an act of terrorism is set to begin next month, filed a motion to have Adam Fox transferred from the supermax prison in Colorado back to Michigan for the trial next month. Fox was incarcerated at the ADX Florence supermax prison after he was found guilty last October in his second trial for plotting to kidnap Whitmer.

According to Molitor, prosecutors in Michigan are unwilling to sign the necessary paperwork to have Fox transferred from Colorado back to state custody in Michigan so he can testify. Molitor’s attorney is seeking a court order to force the state prosecutors to process the necessary paperwork.

The state prosecutors, for their part, have warned that Fox wouldn’t have criminal immunity to testify. They suggested that Fox, who hasn’t been charged by the state of Michigan, could further incriminate himself with his testimony.

But Molitor said on Monday that Fox is willing to wave his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination so that he can testify. The defendant added that Fox’s testimony is necessary for him to receive a fair trial.

Fox did not testify at either of his trials in 2022. But following his conviction, he became more vocal about the FBI’s wrongdoing against him and the other defendants.

Earlier this year, Fox told independent journalist Christina Urso—who is working on a documentary about the Whitmer plot—that the entire scheme was provoked by FBI informants.

“Dan Chappel [an FBI informant] was the driving force of it all. With him and Stephen Robeson [another FBI informant[ always telling us we have to have a mission, we have to have a goal, we can’t just be training for anything—we’ve got to have objectives,” Fox said. “We all looked to him for guidance.”

Shortly after Fox spoke to Urso, he was transferred from Michigan to the supermax facility in Colorado. Another guilty defendant who was speaking to Urso, Barry Croft, was also transferred to a maximum security facility in Terre Haute. Both of them have been prevented from speaking to media.

Fox and Croft have been sending and receiving letters from their respective cages. Their friends and families encourage people to write them.

Molitor’s trial is set to begin on Aug. 21. His two co-defendants are brothers Michael Null and William Null. Shawn Fix and Brian Higgins have pleaded guilty to the state charges, and will testify against those defendants.

On the federal level, Fox and Croft were found guilty last year, while Brandon Caserta and Daniel Harris were found not guilty.

Rand Paul: Fauci Still Using Taxpayer-Funded Security Detail, Limo Driver

Rand Paul: Fauci Still Using Taxpayer-Funded Security Detail, Limo Driver

(Headline USA) Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he had confirmed that former COVID czar Anthony Fauci, who retired in December and recently accepted a position with Georgetown University, still receives a taxpayer-funded security detail.

Paul, a longtime nemesis of Fauci’s, blasted the former National Institutes of Health official, who had reportedly been the highest paid employee in the federal government, for being “treated like a president.”

Fox News revealed earlier this year that the U.S. Marshals Service began providing security for Fauci at the beginning of 2023.

Paul then sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra requesting additional details about Fauci’s current employment status and why, if Fauci was retired, he was still benefiting from perks reserved for active government employees.

““We asked HHS early in the summer—we said, ‘Is he still working, and does he have this limo, and does he have a driver, and does he have a security detail?'” Paul explained

“HHS actually came back to us and said they haven’t been paying for it since January,” the fiscally hawkish senator continued. “But then we discovered that Fox did a Freedom of Information Act [open records request] and a judge forced them to say that, well, while HHS wasn’t directly funding it, the U.S. Marshals were funding it.”

HHS told Paul that “somebody else is doing it and then we’re reimbursing them,” he added.

Paul said it pointed to flagrant abuses of power by the Biden administration on several different fronts.

“[I]t’s a terrible example of the government lying to its representatives and to the people,” he said. “But also, why is a retired guy, the only retired official I know of that gets this [same] kind of treatment as a former president.”

It made no sense why Fauci, a “bureaucrat, still has a limo driver security detail,” the senator said.

It was also likely that Fauci was still benefiting from other taxpayer-funded privileges, such as pro-bono legal representation.

“He may need that eventually,” Paul quipped.

Paul formally accused Fauci of perjury in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland last week, saying he had evidence that the former COVID czar deliberately lied to Congress about the NIH’s funding of risky gain-of-function research.

Perjury is a federal offense that carries a sentence of up to five years in prison.

The accusations also come on the heels of another recent revelation that Becerra may have allowed the terms of Fauci and other health officials to expire in December 2021 in violation of 2016’s 21st Century Cures Act.

If so, Fauci spent his final year illegitimately serving in his post as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during which time he may have illegally approved $26 billion in taxpayer-funded grants. 

Kamala Falsely Claims Gun Violence Leading Cause of Death for Children

Kamala Falsely Claims Gun Violence Leading Cause of Death for Children

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris incorrectly claimed that gun violence was the leading cause of death for children in a tweet posted Sunday.

“Gun violence is the leading cause of death for our nation’s children,” the tweet read. “Congress must have the courage to act and pass commonsense gun safety laws, including an assault weapons ban and universal background checks.”

 

A 2020 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that firearm-related deaths aged for children aged 0-17 was 2,281; the number of deaths in vehicle accidents for the same ages was 2,503.

In fact, children were 27 times more likely to die in automobile accidents than as a result of accidental gun deaths, according to Breitbart.

The report also indicated that the chances of unintentional suffocation were 10 times more likely than accidental gun deaths.

Separately, the CDC also reported 620,327 intentional abortions for the year 2020, according to Pew Research Center, although that number is likely to have decreased since the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Despite Harris’s claim that additional gun regulations offered the solution for gun violence, evidence showed it had little impact, and might even exacerbate the problem.

Harris’s home state of California, which implemented background checks and “assault weapon” bans in the 1990s, led the nation in homicides in 2021.

Even some Democrat politicians have realized that gun-control measures were not working in their own districts, such as St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones.

“Chicago has strict gun laws as well but that doesn’t deter gun violence,” Jones wrote in private texts that were leaked to the public. “It’s about investing in the people.”

Nonetheless, a federal judge recently ruled in favor of Oregon’s strict gun-control laws, claiming they were constitutional.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut ruled that banning large capacity magazines and requiring a permit to purchase a gun fell in line with “the nation’s history and tradition of regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety.”

Large capacity magazines “are not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment,” Immergut wrote, although the Second Amendment makes no specific reference to “self defense” and mentions only the “security of a free State.”

That did not stop Immergut from attempting to reimagine the Bill of Rights.

“The Second Amendment also allows governments to ensure that only law-abiding, responsible citizens keep and bear arms,” the judge incorrectly claimed.

The decision followed the Supreme Court’s decision on the New York State Pistol & Rifle Association v. Bruen case, which required courts to base their decisions on “America’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”

House Oversight Committee Sets Date for UFO Hearing: ‘Done with the Cover-Ups’

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Members of the House Oversight Committee announced a plan to host a hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena in the next week, according to the Daily Wire.

“We’re done with the cover-ups,” tweeted Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., who has consistently pushed the conversation about UFOs and alien technology within the ranks of Congress.

The hearing is on Wednesday, July 26, but was not yet listed on the committee’s official calendar.

At press time, the committee had not released information regarding the content of the meeting or witnesses who may give testimony.

“We’re going to have professionals in here, and we’re getting blowback from some of the alphabet agencies,” Burchett said. “I’m sick of government … that does not trust the people.”

In a recent report, whistleblower David Grusch, a U.S. military veteran specializing in airborne phenomena, claimed that the military illegally kept the information from Congress concerning its tracking of UFOs—which may or may not be extraterrestrial in origin.

“We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,” Grusch told the outlet, suggesting some of the recovered objects and fragments appeared to be exotic and unidentifiable. “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.”

In response to the claims of illegality, the Defense Department’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office—which is tasked with investigating UFOs and other phenomena—declared it had “not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of any extra terrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”

However, Sean Kirkpatrick said the AARO was reviewing an estimated 800 cases—a jump from the 650 he mentioned in a separate hearing just a month earlier.

Despite the staggering number, he insisted that none of them offered “credible” evidence of aliens from outer space.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced his support of the hearing on Monday.

He also expressed some skepticism that the government obtained evidence of alien life and kept it a secret, because “the Department of Defense would tell us because they would probably want to request more money.”

While many of the claims spurred skepticism from the general public, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., encouraged an even and measured approach to the alleged evidence.

“What I think we owe them is just a mature, you know, understanding, listening and trying to put all these pieces together and just sort of intake the information without any prejudgment or jumping to any conclusions in one direction or another,” Rubio said.

Ex-Playboy Reporter Roasted for Phony-Sounding Tweet about MAGA Christians

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) Although his former publication is now defunct, Playboy‘s one-time White House correspondent, Brian Karem, drew ridicule on Twitter for pushing more fake news, claiming Christians were unable to come up with any accomplishments with which to credit former President Donald Trump.

Karem, who was notorious for his disruptive behaviour during the Trump administration, wrote a dubious tweet about an alleged conversation with an anti-Trump activist he randomly met at a bar, who also happened to be a “devout Christian.”

The woman clamed that in all her encounters with Christians, none had ever been able to name one thing the former president had done “that Jesus would approve of.”

According to Twitchy, Christians and conservatives on Twitter were more than happy to accept the challenge.

That included his strong advocacy for Israel, as well as his support for religious liberty at home.

 

One Twitter user mentioned Trump’s open embrace of Christianity and promotion of peace.

“I don’t know, [Trump] avoided going to war about 5 times. Publicly professed his faith and trust in the Bible in front of millions of people,” the user said. “He’s certainly a flawed man, as am I. Whoever is perfect in their ways be the first to condemn him. I’m listening.”

One honest Twitter user admitted that even though she supported abortion, Jesus would be pleased by Trump’s role in ending Roe v. Wade.

Other Twitter users simply pointed out that the story sounded made up.

Twitchy agreed. “This certainly sounds like a thing that happened,” the news site sarcastically wrote.

It went on to highlight a litany of fake-sounding, anonymous encounters emanating from Karem’s Twitter account.

In 2017, for example, he claimed to have encountered a young Hispanic boy on Washington, D.C.’s public transportation system and immediately bonded over their shared affliction with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The boy “[s]aw my press credentials and asked me ‘why does the President hate me?'” Karem tweeted, tagging Trump’s own Twitter account. 

Karem did not immediately reply to a Headline USA email seeking comment.

Disney Cues Up Its Next Woke Stinker as Stock Price Plummets

Disney Cues Up Its Next Woke Stinker as Stock Price Plummets

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) The struggling Walt Disney Company has announced yet another doomed-to-fail woke live action remake, this time revamping the story of Snow White with a diverse cast, the Daily Mail reported.

The famous German princess, Snow White, whose skin is famously “as white as snow,” will be played by the Hispanic Rachel Zegler.

Further, the seven dwarfs will be played by a diverse caste of full-grown adults, including three black dwarfs, one of whom appears to be a woman.

The original Snow White story was written by the Brothers Grimm.

According to reports, the movie, written by Greta Gerwig, will not feature a prince, but will rather focus on Snow White’s personal leadership ambitions.

Addressing rumors of political correctness altering the story, Zegler noted that making the changes were necessary to correct the racist past.

“People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White … yeah, it is—because it needed that,” Zegler said.

Further, she claimed that Snow White will be more compelling as she pursues a career rather than the protection of a handsome prince.

“Our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond ‘someday my prince will come.'”

The feminist film is expected to be released in March of 2024.

Meanwhile, Don Surber reported on his Substack that Disney is in the midst of an unprecedented free fall. It’s stock price, for example, has declined over $100 per share in a matter of just a few years.

In the midst of the parent company’s financial struggles, one of its branches, ESPN, continues to falter.

Between Disney’s its faltering streaming service, Disney Plus, its LGBT-friendly theme parks, and its far-left propaganda films, the former industry giant appears to be in dire straits.

The cherry on top, however, is the woke Disney heiress, Abigail Disney, recently being arrested at a climate change activist rally wherein the activists blocked the entryway to the East Hampton Airport.

Major University Project Pushes ‘Police-Free Campus’ Despite Growing Crime

Major University Project Pushes ‘Police-Free Campus’ Despite Growing Crime

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) A prominent university hosted a project spearheaded by their own professor to create “police-free futures” during a time when the school has been plagued by violence and sexual crimes on campus.

The Daily Caller reported Monday that the University of Michigan Campus Abolition Research Lab launched the #PoliceFreeCampus project, with the hopes of having a police-free future on campus.

The Scholars for Black Lives collective first started #PoliceFreeCampus as a “national call to action for colleges and universities to divest from the institution of policing in exchange for improving campus and community safety through investing in humanizing resources and supports to address issues of harm and accountability,” the project’s website noted.

University of Michigan’s Assistant Professor Charles H.F. Davis III established the Campus Abolition Research Lab in 2020 with the goal of dismantling the “carceral university” and creating police-free futures. Through the lab’s #PoliceFreeCampus Podcast and campus events, they brainwashed students into becoming campus abolitionists.

Meanwhile, crime has skyrocketed across the campus.

The college witnessed two shootings and five sex crimes in the last couple of months. The first incident occurred on June 5, when a woman attacked a man with a knife and fired a gun inside a student dormitory. A man shot a member of a group during an argument just a block away from campus the following day.

In late May, a male suspect approached a female student and proceeded to grope her. He then exposed himself to multiple other female students on campus, the Washington Free Beacon reported. On July 7, two women were sexually assaulted in a campus dorm and robotics building. 

The University of Michigan has not adopted the #PoliceFreeCampus initiative. They currently have their own armed security force in addition to working with the Ann Arbor Police Department. The University of Michigan distanced itself from its Campus Abolition Research Lab, telling the Washington Free Beacon that the lab “isn’t funded by the university.”

‘Sound of Freedom’ Critic Linked to Pro-Pedophile Group

‘Sound of Freedom’ Critic Linked to Pro-Pedophile Group

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A critic of the hit film Sound of Freedom has been linked to a group dedicated to rebranding pedophiles as “minor attracted persons,” WND reported.

According to the report, film critic Noah Berlatsky penned a July 15 review of the film for Bloomberg, noting that the film has been supported by the “far right” by way of its “stranger danger narrative.”

Calling the film’s popularity “ominous,” Berlatsky also suggested that its success in America is intimately tied to the “fascism” of many Americans.

Berlatsky, however, is a former public spokesman for the organization Prostasia, which is dedicated to teaching the public that pedophiles have been the victims of unfair “stigma” and should therefore be recast as “Minor Attracted Persons,” or MAPs, WND noted.

According to the Prostasia website, it is necessary to take a “holistic approach” to the “systemic problems” which cause MAPs to sexually assault children.

This can be done only by looking “at the lived experiences” of the child rapists in order to understand their deepest longings.

Berlatsky also penned an essay for the Prostasia website, wherein he claimed that child trafficking numbers are misleading because some children are trafficked voluntarily.

The essay, titled “Child Trafficking Narratives are Misleading,” argued that young people—especially LGBT youth—often enjoyed “trading sex” with older people.

He also noted that it was important to meet pedophiles “where they’re at” in order to help both them and the children involved in the “sex trade.”

Berlatsky also interviewed Mireille Miller–Young, a feminist professor, for Prostasia. In the conversation, Miller–Young discussed the “developing sexuality” of children while noting that it is important for young children to be exposed to pornography so they can contribute to “sexual politics” in the future.

Other reviewers who skewered the movie have also had to deny their pedophilia industry ties.

Glenn Kenny, a New York Times critic, for example, emphasized his opposition to pedophilia in a recent Tweet after much speculation following his negative Sound of Freedom review.

FBI Whistleblower: Investigators Told to Stay Away from Hunter Biden

FBI Whistleblower: Investigators Told to Stay Away from Hunter Biden

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability disclosed Monday that federal investigators were ordered to not approach Hunter Biden for an interview in December of 2020.

A whistleblower in the FBI revealed that investigators were told to wait to be contacted by Biden, according to American Greatness. Biden never granted the interview, the whistleblower said.

Testimony provided by the whistleblower also confirmed portions of evidence provided by former IRS agent Gary Shapley, who came forward earlier this year.

“As part of the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, there were multiple witness interviews planned for December 8, 2020. IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and the former FBI supervisory special agent were assigned to interview Hunter Biden,” the Committee said in a statement.

Before the Biden interview could take place, the FBI notified the Secret Service headquarters and the Biden transition team. The agents then allegedly received orders to wait near Hunter’s residence until he contacted them, which he never did.

The former FBI special agent told the committee that “he had never been told to wait outside to be contacted by the subject of an investigation.”

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said the committee would continue investigating the Bidens.

“The Justice Department’s efforts to cover up for the Bidens reveals a two-tiered system of justice that sickens the American people,” Comer said.

Evidence continues to mount against the Biden family as whistleblowers from various federal institutions step forward.

Earlier this year, Shapley revealed that Hunter Biden received $8.3 million from China, Ukraine and Romania after his father became the vice president during the Obama administration.

The younger Biden also owed at least $400,000 in unpaid taxes as a result of his shady dealings.

“We weren’t allowed to ask questions about dad, we weren’t allowed to ask about the Big Guy, we weren’t allowed to include certain names in document requests and search warrants,” Shapley said in his initial testimony. “So, we were precluded from following that line of questioning.”

The Justice Department has gone to great lengths to keep the Biden family out of trouble, recently offering a lame plea deal after Hunter faced two misdemeanor charges for failure to pay federal income tax.
