Pelosi to Campaign For Sinema Challenger

(Headline USA) Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is headlining a virtual fundraising event for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s, I-Ariz., primary rival — the clearest indication yet that Democrat leadership plans to oust the independent senator after she left the party.

An invitation to Rep. Ruben Gallego’s, D-Ariz., online fundraiser, obtained by NBC News, shows Pelosi listed as a special guest. The invitation encourages guests to contribute anywhere from $500 to $6,600. The even twill take place on Thursday.

Pelosi has not endorsed Gallego nor Sinema, and rarely weighs in on Democrat infighting. However, she could view Sinema as an open target since Sinema left the Democrat Party late last year.

Sinema has not yet announced a bid for reelection.

Gallego announced his bid for the Senate seat in January, and has repeatedly bashed Sinema for breaking with her Democrat colleagues. When Sinema declined to stump for other Democrat candidates during the midterms, for example, Gallego accused her of being “selfish.”

“She’s not going to be out here stumping for Democrats,” Gallego whined to Politico at the time. “She’s all about herself. She’s not going to help [Sen.] Mark [Kelly]. She’s not going to help [gubernatorial candidate] Katie Hobbs … She cares about herself.”

Gallego continued: “She doesn’t care about the Democratic movement,” he claimed. “She doesn’t care about working-class people. … I think she cares more about her career than she cares about, like, what we can do with our elected office.”

Sinema announced she was leaving the Democrat Party to register as an independent last year, saying she doesn’t believe she fits into “any party box.”

“I’ve registered as an Arizona independent. I know some people might be a little bit surprised by this, but actually, I think it makes a lot of sense,” Sinema said. “I’ve never fit neatly into any party box. I’ve never really tried. I don’t want to.”

Pride Month Surprise: Outbreaks of Malaria, Monkeypox, Swine Flu See Sudden Surge

Pride Month Surprise: Outbreaks of Malaria, Monkeypox, Swine Flu See Sudden Surge

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) As American life finally returns to something resembling pre-COVID lockdown life, mysterious outbreaks of major diseases have all simultaneously occurred. Among the diseases making the news are monkeypox, malaria and swine flu.

Monkeypox, for example, has emerged once more in full force, as Pride month orgies and parades hit full swing. According to a Los Angeles Times report, Los Angeles County officials are concerned about the rapid spread of the disease, which spreads mainly through homosexual activity.

“There’s been some what we call ‘community transmission,’” said Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.

“That is, it’s not from travelers or people who went elsewhere and contracted monkeypox somewhere else. It’s actually they got monkeypox here in L.A. County, because it was transmitted from someone else here in L.A. County who had monkeypox.”

Likewise, malaria has made inroads into the United States in recent weeks, with four cases indigenously appearing in Florida, and one in Texas, reported Based Underground.

Malaria has not been found traced to mosquitoes in the United States since 2003. The disease is extremely deadly.

The spread of the disease pairs nicely with Bill Gates’s plans to release an army of vaccine-spreading mosquitoes in the United States.

The H5N1 Bird Flu has also begun making the rounds, in Poland specifically. But the flu–which is typically limited to birds only–has infected cats this time around, leading to concerns that it could spread to other mammals.

According to the report, 873 humans have caught H5N1 in the past 20 years, leading to 458 deaths, per the World Health Organization.

Making matters worse, the swine flu is back and led to the death of a 42-year-old Brazilian woman who had had no contact with pigs, meaning that she died possibly from transmission via other humans.

Kamala: Anti-Grooming Restrictions on Books Make LGBT People Afraid for Their Lives

Kamala: Anti-Grooming Restrictions on Books Make LGBT People Afraid for Their Lives

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Resurrecting the Left’s recent trope attacking common-sense restrictions on pornographic content in school libraries, Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday claimed that Republican-led “book bans” were making LGBT people fear for their lives.

Harris made the claim during a visit to the Stonewall Inn in New York City—a site considered sacred ground in the 20th-century “gay rights” movement, the Daily Caller reported.

“This fight is not over, when I look at the fact that in our country, we’re looking at somewhere around 600 bills being proposed or passed, anti-LGBTQ, book bans, a policy approach that is ‘don’t say gay,’ people in fear for their life, people afraid to be, to be!” Harris said.

Harris did not call out any offenders by name, but leftists previously accused Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of banning pornographic books such as Gender Queer and It’s Perfectly Normal after signing a bill establishing some parental control over the books young students read in the classroom.

DeSantis also discontinued the educational use of 54 math textbooks that were rife with woke indoctrination.

One textbook combined algebra questions with historical trivia questions about the life of author Maya Angelou.

“It seems that some publishers attempted to slap a coat of paint on an old house built on the foundation of Common Core, and indoctrinating concepts like race essentialism, especially, bizarrely, for elementary school students,” said DeSantis.

The mainstream media has also accused parents who simply want to keep their children’s innocence intact, of “book banning,” with the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center going so far as to label the group Moms for Liberty a “hate group” on par with the Ku Klux Klan.

Democrat activists also have been up in arms over red-state efforts to prevent the life-altering chemical castration and genital mutilation of minors, thereby depriving pharmaceutical corporations of a highly lucrative cottage industry.

Currently, at least 16 states have passed bans or restrictions on so-called “gender affirming care.” The American Civil Liberties Union is in the process of suing the states in order to block the laws.

“You cannot cure gender dysphoria with a knife,” said Oklahoma state Sen. David Bullard about legislation he sponsored banning the practice.

Harris, who stands to assume the presidency should Joe Biden be forced out or become incapacitated, has done very little other than tout far-left talking points in recent days. Most recently, she pushed the legacy of the pro-abortion movement onto teenage girls and invented a new federal agency out of thin air.

White House Slammed for Defending Biden’s Economic Record as ‘Incredibly Popular’

White House Slammed for Defending Biden’s Economic Record as ‘Incredibly Popular’

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) White House second-string press secretary Olivia Dalton had a rough time convincing a public reeling from high inflation, closed businesses and empty wallets that President Joe Biden’s economic policies are “incredibly popular”.

When Dalton tried promoting a positive public reception to the president’s “Bidenomics” platform for his 2024 re-election campaign, journalists challenged how that theme would influence public perception given the president’s low approval ratings on economic matters, Fox News Digital reported.

“When you ask people what they think about educating and empowering workers, when you ask people about how they feel about reshoring, manufacturing jobs and investing in America, those things are incredibly popular,” Dalton claimed.

The comments were made despite recent polling that showed only 33% of people approved of Biden’s leadership of the U.S. economy, and a mere 24% said that national economic conditions were in good shape, according to a survey by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs.

The assertion that Biden’s economy was popular received a predictable backlash from a public crippled by “Bidenomics.”

Podcaster Mitch Roschelle tweeted, “Government spending on infrastructure projects that haven’t happened are NOT popular and how exactly does this help the middle class when we already have a shortage of construction workers?”

The House Oversight Committee, which has been uncovering mounds of evidence pointing to the Biden family’s ongoing, alleged criminal empire, couldn’t resist offering its own definition of “Bidenomics.”

 

A USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll found over half of Americans believed that living in the United States was too expensive. Furthermore, a new Pew Center survey showed approximately 70% of Americans feel that inflation and economic issues are the country’s most pressing concerns under the Biden regime.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., offered his own definition of Bidenomics, tweeting a graphic calling it “bling faith in government spending and regulations.”

McCarthy’s definition concluded, “It’s an economic disaster where government causes decades-high inflation, high gas prices, lower paychecks, and crippling uncertainty
that leaves Americans worse off.”

Zelenskyy Suspends Democracy in Ukraine

Zelenskyy Suspends Democracy in Ukraine

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly told BBC last week that elections in the country won’t be held if martial law is still in effect, which is contingent upon whether the war with Russia is still ongoing.

Zelenskyy’s five-year term is set to end next year. But he was reportedly asked last week if parliamentary elections will be held this fall, to which he responded: “If we have martial law, we cannot have elections. The constitution prohibits any elections during martial law. If there is no martial law, then there will be.”

As noted by antiwar.com editor Dave DeCamp, Zelenskyy has consolidated power since declaring martial law last year—nationalizing the media and banning 11 opposition parties.

Ruslan Stefanchuk, the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, also reportedly said this month that elections can’t happen in Ukraine under martial law.

“Ukrainian legislation stipulates it is impossible to hold any elections during martial law. And this makes sense,” he said.

On his latest show Tuesday, political commentator Tucker Carlson noted the irony that the U.S. is supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia in the name of democracy.

“We must make sure they can vote in Kiev so we can continue voting in Kansas City. It’s really that simple,” Carlson said sarcastically.

“And yet tonight, we regret to tell you we have a problem: It looks like they’re not going to be able to vote in Kiev anymore, and for once it’s not Putin’s fault.”

Carlson added that “our chief ally in the war for democracy [Zelenskyy] … He just blew up our entire rationale for supporting his side of the war.”

Carlson then noted that President Joe Biden reaffirmed his support for Ukraine this week, despite Zelenskyy’s comments about suspending elections last week.

Indeed, Biden announced Tuesday yet another $500 million in aid for Zelenskyy, including new Bradley and Stryker armored vehicles and munitions for various weapons systems.

The provision of new Bradleys and Strykers comes after Ukraine lost armored vehicles in the first few weeks of its counteroffensive, according to DeCamp.

“The United States will continue to work with its Allies and partners to provide Ukraine with capabilities to meet its immediate battlefield needs and longer-term security assistance requirements,” the Biden administration said in a statement about the latest aid package.

Biological Male Transgender Activist and Triple Murderer Placed in Calif. Women’s Prison

Biological Male Transgender Activist and Triple Murderer Placed in Calif. Women’s Prison

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A biological male who committed a triple murder requested a room in a woman’s prison in California, sparking concern for the female inmates from several activist groups.

According to the Gateway Pundit, David Warfield, also known as Dana Rivers, faced conviction for a triple homicide of a lesbian couple and their adopted son in the city of Oakland.

Rivers reportedly met Reed at a meeting of an all-female biker gang known as the Deviants, where Rivers acted as an “enforcer.”

Rivers stabbed and shot the women, Charlotte Reed and Patricia Wright, with a .38 revolver. Rivers stabbed Reed 40 times. Police discovered Benny Diambu, their 19-year-old adoptee, in the street with gunshot wounds.

Rivers also carried additional bullets and brass knuckles. Police reported that Rivers also attempted to burn the evidence.

“Rivers had been a high-profile and pioneering transgender woman, who was open about her transition in 1999, discussing it with ABC News’ 20/20 shortly after she had surgery in 2001,” the New York Post reported.

Rivers will move to the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla as a result of the “Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act.” The act, written and proposed by State Sen. Scott Wiener, became law in 2021.

The bill allowed transgender inmates to choose the facility they stayed in and even choose their roommates. Ex-prisoner Amie Ichikawa detested the new law, and described her experience in jail.

“I got my ass whupped by my bunkie for three months but when I went to a housing officer to ask for a transfer to a different unit she just looked at me and said, what kind of Asian are you, Chinese, Japanese or on your knees?” Ichikawa told the Post. “I was devastated. But if I were a trans prisoner I could pick and choose where I wanted to live and with whom.”

California, Maine and New Jersey are currently the only three states that allow biological males to cry “gender identity” to gain entry into female prisons.

Trump Eyes Upstaging First GOP Debate w/ His Own Event

Trump Eyes Upstaging First GOP Debate w/ His Own Event

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) Former President Donald Trump has not confirmed plans to attend the first GOP primary debate on Aug. 21 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, raising questions if he would hold a competing event from another location.

Trump argued he doesn’t need to be present at the debate because of his significant polling advantage lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the rest of the GOP field.

“He is not going to debate unless he’s forced to by changing polling,” a Trump adviser told NBC. “I disagree with it, but it is where he is. But if he does not debate, I doubt he’s staying home.”

Meanwhile, Trump has shopped opinions from everyone about joining the debate, the adviser said. “He wants to know what everyone thinks but will ultimately do what he wants to do. In general, he is asking everyone, from the bellman to [RNC Chair] Ronna McDaniel.”

Trump was reportedly reluctant to debate because of requirements issued by the Republican National Committee — this included pledging support for the party’s eventual presidential nominee, the Washington Examiner reported. Trump declined and skipped the last primary debate that was held before the Iowa caucuses in 2016 and held a veteran fundraiser instead.

The RNC and Fox News may face consequences if Trump skips the debate, as his absence would leave a YUGE void. The debate’s success may suffer as a result, which could be a significant blow to the Republican Party.

Trump blasted Fox News for not covering his recent achievements, including being awarded the “Man of the Decade” in Michigan and giving the keynote speech for Faith & Freedom in D.C.

“All they do is promote, against all hope, Ron DeSanctimonious, and he’s dropping like a rock. Sorry FoxNews, life doesn’t work that way!!!.” he posted on Truth Social.

Meta Promotes Ex-CIA Agent to ‘Head of Election Policies’

Meta Promotes Ex-CIA Agent to ‘Head of Election Policies’

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Former CIA agent Aaron Berman recently received a promotion from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg into a new role as the head of “elections policies” at the tech company.

Prior to his tenure at Facebook, Berman served for 17 years in the CIA, according to the Post Millennial.

The description for his new position stated that Berman will head a team in charge of “elections-related content policies worldwide” and “put policies into practice on key elections.”

He also will work closely with “senior executives” and “external stakeholders.”

Berman previously worked at Facebook as a senior product policy manager in the “misinformation department,” helping to decide what was and was not fake news through the 2020 presidential election.

Berman’s LinkedIn reported that one of his primary tasks at Facebook was to fight purported misinformation during “critical events.”

That included the platform’s notorious decision to censor posts about Hunter Biden’s so-called laptop from hell after Berman’s former intellingence colleagues knowingly pushed disinformation claiming that the damning hard drive could be a Russian propaganda campaign.

Other revelations since the 2020 election, including those uncovered via the Twitter Files, have exposed the deep—and largely unconstitutional—levels of collusion between public officials and social-media publishers, including Facebook.

Meta representatives attended the weekly “misinformation” meetings hosted by the Biden administration as they scrambled to shut down voices pointing out inconsistencies in COVID-19 mandates and potential issues with vaccines.

In July 2021, President Joe Biden alleged that Facebook was “killing people” because of the alleged COVID misinformation that was available on the platform.

The company responded by trying to placate the president with a sweeping purge of accounts that the government found disagreeable. The censored information included people rejecting the vaccine, particularly members of the military expressing reluctance to get the jab to stay in the service.

“I wanted to make sure you saw the steps we took just this past week to adjust policies on what we are removing with respect to misinformation, as well as steps taken to further address the ‘disinfo dozen,'” a Meta executive said in a report back to the government, according to the Post Millenial. “We removed 17 additional Pages, Groups, and Instagram accounts tied to the disinfo dozen…”

Berman was in charge of Facebook’s misinformation team at the time of Biden’s statements.

Ex-CIA Analyst Says Putin Likely Staged Wagner Coup as False Flag

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Ex-CIA Analyst Rebekah Koffler told Fox News on Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin likely staged the Wagner Coup as a false flag operation.

Putin, according to this analysis, wants the west to believe that he is weak and ineffectual, and that his own people do not trust him, the Daily Mail reported. He allowed Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhi–an old Putin friend–to leave Ukraine and begin advancing his army towards Moscow. But before the offensive could materialize, it was called off, and the troops returned to Ukraine.

Prigohzi has reportedly fled to Belarus.

Koffler told Fox News anchor Eric Shawn that Putin’s move was meant to “gain momentum, mobilize additional personnel, and re-energize his offensive on Ukraine.” She also noted that the sudden change indicates that things were likely staged.

“So again, what has changed from this in the last few hours? All of a sudden he decided to turn his troops around and made this deal? No, this is all staged,” Koffler said. “Putin wants us to believe that he’s weak, that there’s an ongoing threat of a military insurrection.”

She also noted that it would allow Putin to seize further powers in Russia. He has already enacted martial law, and plans to imprison those who do not comply for 30 days.

According to Koffler, Putin also “authorized that men with a criminal record can join the military.”

Koffler explained that the criminal pass, “is a justification for extra mobilization of the Russian forces to send them to the meat grinder in Ukraine. It is also to demonstrate to President Biden that, no, Russia is not a threat.”

Unfortunately for those eager to see Russia’s decline, Koffler suggested there is really nothing to the news.

“But this is all a classic distraction and classic Putin,” she concluded.

Some have also floated the theory that the corporate press is using the Russia story, among others, to keep the Hunter Biden revelations out of the headlines.

Iran Memo Hyped in DOJ Leak Not Listed on Trump Indictment, May Not Exist

Iran Memo Hyped in DOJ Leak Not Listed on Trump Indictment, May Not Exist

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A classified memorandum allegedly outlining Gen. Mark Milley’s plans to invade Iran that was referenced in a leaked audio recording of former President Donald Trump was not listed among the records for which Trump was recently indicted—and may not exist at all, CBS reported.

The Justice Department is suspected of leaking the much-hyped audio recording, which reportedly captured a July 2021 meeting at which Trump showed highly confidential documents to aides relating to a potential attack of Iran.

“It is like highly confidential, secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this,” Trump said in the recording, which CNN first released on Monday. “See, as president I could have declassified, but now I can’t, you know. . . Isn’t that interesting? It’s so cool.”

The DOJ’s indictment does, in fact, make vague reference to the recording, with the name of the country having been redacted. That led, initially, to speculation that it could be China.

But out of the 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information charged in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump, the document allegedly shared by the former president is nowhere to be found.

According to CBS, it is possible that the Iran memo was never recovered during the FBI’s controversial raid last year on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

On Tuesday, after the recordings had been released, Trump appeared on Fox News, reasserting his position that he “did nothing wrong” in retaining previously classified materials under the Presidential Records Act.

The current frontrunner for the GOP 2024 presidential nomination also denied that the leaked audio offered any sort of smoking-gun evidence, either in the court of public opinion or elsewhere.

“My voice was fine,” Trump said. “What did I say wrong in those recordings? I didn’t even see the recording. All I know is I did nothing wrong.”

He called the conversation on record “bravado,” suggesting that he was overstating the importance of the documents in question.

“We had a lot of papers, a lot of papers stacked up,” he said. “In fact, you could hear the rustle of the paper. And nobody said I did anything wrong.”

 

Trump previously suggested that he was showing people newspaper clippings.

“There was no document,” Trump told Fox News anchor Bret Baier last week.

“I didn’t have a document per se,” he continued. “There was nothing to declassify. These were newspaper stories, magazine stories and articles.”
