Private Investigator: Obama Using Stolen Connecticut SSN Issued in 1977

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A private investigator alleged that former President Barack Obama has been using a stolen Social Security number for much of his adult life the American Thinker reported.

According to Susan Daniels, author of the newly published book The Rubbish Hauler’s Wife versus Barack Obama, the number used by Obama was originally issued in the state of Connecticut on March 28, 1977.

“Obama is a felon—plain and simple,” she wrote.

The Social Security number was originally issued to someone born in 1890, which would have put the individual in their late 80s at the time.

Obama was 15 years old at the time and living in Hawaii, where he attended the elite Punahou School.

According to Obama’s own account, he claimed to have sought employment at a Baskin–Robbins ice cream parlor when he was 15—work that likely would have required a Social Security number in order to apply properly.

Daniels, who first began researching Obama’s shady past in 2012, said she noticed that, on his 2009 tax return, the first three digits of his Social Security number had been left unredacted.

That led her to the shocking discovery since his number started with 042—which was designated for exclusive use by Connecticut residents at the time.

Citizens of Hawaii exclusively received Social Security numbers starting with 575 or 576, as did Obama’s half-sister, Maya, Daniels noted.

While president, Obama changed the laws for application on the SS-5 form. Between the years of 1936-2011, the government assigned identifying numbers by order of address; the Obama administration altered the law to randomize the numbers based on where the applicant lived when they applied.

In addition to being a violation of federal law under 18 U.S.C § 1028, which “makes it a crime to misuse someone’s identifying information, whether personal or financial” the discovery that Obama’s Social Security number was fake could have other serious implications.

Skeptics have long suspected that he may have been born in Kenya, making him ineligible under the U.S. Constitution to serve as president. Only after his first full term as president did Obama finally produce a “long-form” birth certificate to placate “birther” critics—including, most prominently, then television personality Donald Trump.

However, other inconsistencies in Obama’s past, such as the refusal to release his academic transcripts, have continued to sow seeds of doubt. Moreover, with trust in intelligence agencies like the now-weaponized CIA and FBI having fully eroded since his presidency, there is compelling reason to believe Obama might have had his Langley hatchet men forge such a document.

Other curious details about Obama’s life before his presidency have been trickling out since his term ended.

Larry Sinclair claimed he had several drug-fueled hookups before Obama was president. After he going public with the story, Sinclair faced arrest for a theft that never took place.

But the rumors of Obama’s unconventional marriage to his wife, Michelle, recently resurfaced in a commentary by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

“By 2008, it was obvious to anybody who was paying attention that Barack Obama had a strange and highly creepy personal life. Yet nobody ever asked him about it,” Carlson noted.

The former president has also faced accusations of corruption, including charges that he was complicit in then Vice President Joe Biden’s foreign influence-peddling and in former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Russia-collusion hoax to frame Trump.

Teachers Union Boss Tapped for DHS Advisory Role

(Headline USA) Teachers union boss Randi Weingarten was appointed this week by the Biden administration to advise the Department of Homeland Security’s school safety board.

Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, was one of 20 new members appointed to the Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council, according to a press release. The council was formed last year to “provide strategic and actionable recommendations to the secretary on campus safety and security, improved coordination, research priorities, hiring, and more.”

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas lauded the decision.

“Leaders of our academic institutions and campus life have a great deal to offer in helping us counter the evolving and emerging threats to the homeland,” said Mayorkas, who has come under intense criticism for his mishandling of the southern border crisis.

Weingarten’s appointment comes despite her public role in advocating school closures during the pandemic, which have been proven to have resulted in enormous academic loss for America’s students.

Parents Defending Education Director of Outreach Erika Sanzi blasted the Biden administration for continuously rewarding Weingarten despite her “anti-parent” posture.

“Turns out that if you call concerned parents domestic terrorists and work tirelessly to keep schools closed, you qualify as an adviser to DHS,” Sanzi said. “But this is a major red flag — Randi is hyper-political and her current posture is very anti-parent.”

Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., agreed that Weingarten’s hire is a reward for “bad policy.”

“Randi Weingarten chose appeasing teacher unions over getting students back in the classroom during the pandemic,” Cline tweeted. “Now, math and reading scores for the Nation’s 13-year-olds are at the worst decline in decades. Why is DHS rewarding bad policy?”

Weingarten is sitting pretty financially from her union-wrangling. The alleged teacher, despite not having taught in a classroom for years, is due to collect a hefty taxpayer-funded New York City pension, according to the Freedom Foundation. As head of the American Federation of Teachers, Weingarten is reportedly eligible for a $15,000 annual check when she retires.

The Teachers’ Retirement System of the City of New York currently credits Weingarten with 15 years of service as a teacher, even though she only worked in a classroom for four of those years. As a result, Weingarten stands to rake in more than $200,000 when she retires.

MTG, Stefanik Introduce Resolutions to Expunge Trump Impeachments

(Headline USA) Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., introduced  resolutions this week to expunge former President Donald Trump’s two impeachments.

The measure, introduced by Greene, blasts Democrats’ impeachment efforts against Trump as a “politically motivated sham.” If passed, it would expunge Democrats’ 2019 impeachment of Trump over his phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Stefanik’s resolution would expunge Democrats’ 2021 impeachment of Trump, which was related to his alleged role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Neither impeachment effort survived the Senate.

“The American people know Democrats weaponized the power of impeachment against President Donald Trump to advance their own extreme political agenda,” Stefanik said in a statement on Thursday.

Democrats “ignored the Constitution and failed to follow the legislative process” in order to impeach Trump, Stefanik argued.

“President Donald Trump was rightfully acquitted, and it is past time to expunge Democrats’ sham smear against not only President Trump’s name, but against millions of patriots across the country,” she added.

Greene pointed out the hypocrisy of the Democrats who went after Trump in 2019 at the same time the federal government was sitting on evidence of alleged malfeasance on the part of Hunter Biden and President Joe Biden.

“The Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, weaponized a perfect phone call with Ukraine to interfere with the 2020 election. Meanwhile, the FBI had credible evidence of Joe and Hunter Biden’s corrupt dealings, confirming their involvement in a foreign bribery pay-to-play scheme and receipt of over $5 million each,” Greene said in a statement. 

The measures were introduced in the House shortly after articles of impeachment were brought against Joe Biden for his dereliction of duty in regards to the southern border crisis. The impeachment resolution was brought by Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.

“President Biden’s negligence of duty has resulted in the surrender of operational control of the border to the complete and total control of foreign criminal cartels putting the lives of American citizens in jeopardy,” Boebert said on the House floor Tuesday.

Is The Pentagon Using Online Data to Create Fake Internet Personalities?

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Project for Privacy & Surveillance Accountability announced Friday that it’s obtained a trove of records about how the government uses online commercial data—including records about the Defense Intelligence Agency’s use of such data for “cover operations.”

What exactly that means isn’t quite clear.

“Does this mean DIA is using data to help agents impersonate real people?” the PPSA asked when announcing its findings. “Or is DIA using our personal information as material from which to create fake, chimeric identities, using a blend of personal information from multiple real people?”

The records obtained by PPSA follow a declassified report issued last week by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which confirmed that U.S. agencies are bulk purchasing social media, cell phone and other commercial data.

The report lacked specifics on how agencies are using the data. When it comes to the DIA, the report said the agency “provides funding to another agency that purchases commercially available geolocation metadata aggregated from smartphones.”

The DIA—the Pentagon’s main intelligence agency—did not immediately respond to a Headline USA email asking the same questions as the PPSA.

Along with uncovering records about the DIA’s “cover operations,” PPSA also found information about how the FBI uses internet data.

According to records obtained by PPSA, the FBI has a team dedicated to working with cell tower data.

“Their specialties include ‘historical CDR (call detail records) analysis and geospatial mapping,’ which enables the tracking of people across multiple towers,” PPSA said. “The FBI conducts ‘tower dump analysis,’ which seems to be the collection of bulk data from cell towers and ‘real-time cellular tracking’ services.”

PPSA added that the FBI  regularly lends out its geolocation services to state and local governments, according to the records.

“These are just glimpses into how the government uses our personal information, from our movements to our personal interests, relationships, and beliefs,” the privacy watchdog said. “PPSA will continue to use FOIAs and lawsuits to dig out more details about these practices.”

Media Hypes Gas Stove Study w/out Noting It Was Funded by China-Linked Climate Group

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) The mainstream media recently covered another study highlighting the dangers of gas stoves, but many of the outlets neglected to note that the climate activist organization that released the report received the majority of its funding from China.

According to the Daily Caller, the study claimed that the burning of methane gas in stoves raised levels of the carcinogenic chemical benzene in individual households. The report indicated that after setting one burner to high for 45 minutes, the benzene levels were comparable to secondhand smoke.

Several outlets reported on the study—including The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and NPR—but left out the fact that financial support for the study came from the High Tide Foundation.

The High Tide Foundation is an activist nonprofit with “a long-standing commitment to fighting climate change and protecting our planet.” The founder of the group, Richard Lawrence, was an investment banker with several financial ties to China.

Lawrence also acted as the founder and executive chairman of Overlook Investments Ltd., an investment firm based in the Cayman Islands with strong ties to Hong Kong. Overlook 3G Investments was created as a partner to the firm, with a focus on China’s renewable energy sector.

“The Chinese entrepreneur is instinctive, long term, sometimes way too aggressive, sometimes not aggressive enough,” said Lawrence. “It’s almost an inherent skill they get, almost from birth, they’re really, really exceptional. And they are driving, say for example, 80% of urban employment today.”

Lawrence also previously made statements supporting U.S. companies purchasing from Chinese companies, despite the massive amounts of emissions involved in overseas shipping.

The Biden administration has been toying with the idea of partially—if not completely—banning gas stoves for several months. At least one member of the Consumer Public Safety Commission proposed a total ban, even in existing homes.

The initial idea of banning gas stoves was also based on a study by a Chinese-linked organization, the Climate Imperative Foundation.

Obama Accuses Republicans of Intolerance for Opposing Marxist Takeover

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Former President Barack Obama used an appearance this week on CNN to gaslight conservatives, telling the corporate news network that Republicans lack the “virtue” of toleration when they deal with Marxists.

Obama began the interview by pontificating on the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump, according to a Breitbart transcript.

“How is the rest of the world, the democratic world, maybe even the non-democratic world meant to interpret that indictment and indeed the fact that a federal indictee is running, is able to run for the highest office in the land, maybe even the world?” CNN host Christiane Amanpour asked.

“It’s less than ideal,” Obama–a paragon of respectability himself–replied.

“But the fact that we have a former president who is having to answer to charges brought by prosecutors does uphold the basic notion that nobody is above the law. And the allegations will now be sorted out through a court process.”

For the former president, it is important for Americans to realize how important toleration is for politics to function as he would like it to in the country. But toleration has been lacking, he suggested, since the time that he left office, which was rife with division.

“I think there is less tolerance for ideas that don’t suit us,” he noted.

For Obama, however, there is to be no toleration for those with what he would call “anti-democratic” ideas. The rise of intolerance, in the former president’s account, coincides with the rise of another former president, Donald Trump, and his supporters.

“I think that’s weakened since I left office, and we’re gonna need to strengthen them again,” he noted, accusing Republicans of “trying to silence critics through changes in legislative process, whether it’s attempts to intimidate the press, a strand of anti-democratic sentiment that we’ve seen in the United States.”

Obama, who some have argued has spent the past six years running the Democrat Party from afar, also noted that one side of the political spectrum is especially guilty of a lack of toleration.

“It’s something that is right now most prominent in the Republican Party,” he opined.

Satanist Uses A.I. Deepfakes to Defame Hobby Lobby

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A satanist used A.I. animations to make a video portraying the Christian-owned craft store, Hobby Lobby, selling demonic implements.

The defaming video was created by Jennifer Vineyard, a member of a Satanic temple, Crosswalk reported. She created images with a generative artificial intelligence program called Midjourney to show footage of the demonic god Baphomet on Hobby Lobby shelves.

“I think we need to talk about what is going on at Hobby Lobby…won’t somebody please think of the children!?” Vinyard wrote in the caption.

The post was shared more than 6,000 times.

The video led to confusion on the part of the TikTok account “woahthatisstrange,” which made a video showing the “footage” and questioned where the Hobby Lobby was.

“Apparently, Hobby Lobby has a … ton of Baphomet and demon-like statues on the shelves right now, which is really confusing because Hobby Lobby is a super Christian-based company,” the TikToker said in the video.

“So, to my avid Hobby Lobby goers, have you seen these in your stores?” she asked.

The video has been viewed over 237,000 times. After the TikTok video went viral, Vineyard said she was in shock.

“I couldn’t believe how many likes and shares the photos got,” Vinyard said.

The Christian-based Hobby Lobby has been a regular target of leftist activists, ever since the store was on the winning side of a Supreme Court case over the store’s right to exclude contraceptives from its insurance coverage. The 2014 decision ruled that the the Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.

Hobby Lobby came under attack from leftist protestors who called for a boycott of the store in 2020, after someone had used decorative letters from a display shelf to spell out a pro-Trump message. The controversy surrounding Hobby Lobby hasn’t eased, as evidence by the response to the recent Satanic A.I. video.

“I’ve read so many comments that cracked me up, mostly from the people who thought they were real and were super angry,” the production’s creator said. “I even got some mean Messenger messages from them.”

She also said that she put in very little effort, and would have tried harder if she knew so many would see.

“I’m actually a little embarrassed that they weren’t better. . . If I knew they were going to blow up the way they did, I would have spent more time on them,” she added.

BOYD: Defending Missouri Youth Entails Urgent Need to Ban Minors from Drag Shows

(Mazzie Boyd, Headline USA contributor) At the heart of conservative values is the belief that our culture and societal norms should be preserved and protected for the wellbeing of future generations.

One significant area of concern that has arisen is the attendance of minors at drag shows. A group of Missouri House representatives, senators, and I have proposed legislation to safeguard our children from these adult-oriented performances. The proposed bills have drawn criticism, but the foundation of our argument is solid—these performances are fundamentally not suitable for the impressionable minds of our youth.

Drag shows, inherently, contain sexual elements and, as such, fall into the category of sexually oriented businesses. If we have legislation that restricts minors from establishments like strip clubs, why should drag shows be an exception?

Such environments potentially expose children to sexual content before they are emotionally mature enough to understand it. This is not about suppressing sexuality; rather, it’s about shielding children from adult themes until they are emotionally ready.

A case in point is a Columbia school that took students to a drag show without the knowledge or consent of their parents. The school district apologized, but it raises the question—can a child truly understand and consent to being exposed to such adult content?

The age of consent in Missouri is 17, an age at which a teenager is presumably mature enough to make such decisions. But what about the 8 or 9-year-olds? Those arguing that this proposed legislation is government overreach need to be reminded of the fundamental role of government—protecting its citizens.

Children, due to their age and innocence, are the most vulnerable among us and require the utmost protection. The government is duty-bound to step in when the welfare of these young minds is at stake.

Claims that this legislation infringes on First Amendment rights are misdirected. As state Rep. Darin Chappell rightly points out, “No government should ever be associated with an event that has a proven history of exploiting kids.” Our primary concern here is the well-being of our children and not curtailing free speech.

The contention that our proposals unfairly target the LGBT community is unfounded. This isn’t about who is performing; it’s about who is watching. It’s about creating safe spaces for our children, a principle that is not exclusive to any group or community.

Chris Barrett, representing Missouri Chapter of Gays Against Groomers, himself acknowledged, “This adult entertainment should be for adults only.”

Regarding parental rights, they indeed exist, but they come with the duty to protect and provide for the child. Parents cannot take their children to establishments that are deemed harmful to minors, and the same should hold for drag shows.

The recent ruling against Tennessee’s similar bill on the grounds of being too broad does not deter our efforts. Our legislation in Missouri is precisely worded and has significant enforcement measures in place to deter violations.

Our society is evolving, but this doesn’t mean that we should discard the values that form our cultural backbone. Safeguarding our children from adult-themed entertainment is not a matter of controversy; it’s a moral responsibility.

As legislators, we must ensure that the innocence and well-being of our youth are fiercely guarded, setting them on a path to a balanced and healthy adulthood. It’s not merely a matter of importance; it’s an urgent necessity.

Rep. Mazzie Boyd, a Republican, represents District 2 in the Missouri House of Representatives. She was elected to her first two-year term in November 2022. Prior to being elected, Boyd served in the White House as an executive assistant to the Director of Presidential Personnel in the Trump administration, as well as a war room analyst for Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. She also worked as a communications assistant for the Congressional Office of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. A 2017 graduate of St. Joseph Christian School, Boyd received her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Missouri Western State University in 2020.

Left Wing Foundation Backing ProPublica Gives Millions to Groups Targeting Justices Thomas and Alito

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) An organization known as The Sandler Foundation, which founded ProPublica, recently launched attacks against Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.

ProPublica received at least $40 million from the foundation since 2010, and took more from other groups linked to the Democrat dark-money web, according to Breitbart.

Along with several other money-funneling groups, ProPublica attempted to disenfranchise Justice Thomas via investigations into his relationship with wealthy real estate developer Harlan Crow.

The articles often quoted activists from groups receiving money from the Sandler Foundation. The Center for American Progress, the ACLU, Human Rights Watch and Sierra Club all received funding from the foundation.

The foundation also gave at least $7.5 million to the Campaign Legal Center since 2015, and $6 million to the American constitution Society since 2010. Both organizations supported reporting Justice Thomas to the Department of Justice after the news of his relationship with Crow made headlines.

The lawfare outfit wrote a letter to the DOJ asking it to investigate Thomas “for potential criminal and civil penalties” after he accepted an all-expenses paid trip from Crow. The Crow connection amounted to little but a smear job directed at a leading conservative voice on the high court.

ProPublica’s initial report on the matter quoted activists from CLC and ACS.

The Sandler Foundational also granted money to The New Venture Fund, which is part of a dark-money network managed by Soros-controlled Arabella Advisors.

A group known as Demand Justice, a subsidiary of the New Venture Fund that advocates for aggressive tactics against Republican judicial nominees, took $500,000.

The group supported court-packing and invasive investigations, particularly into Justice Thomas. The deputy chief counsel, Katie O’Connor, called for “immediate ethics reforms” in the court after the story about Thomas and Crow broke.

“It is no coincidence that several organizations smearing Justice Thomas are funded generously by many of the same donors,” Parker Thayer, an investigative researcher at Capital Research Center, said. “The ‘pop-up’ public pressure campaign, where just a few donors pay dozens of ‘grassroots’ activist groups to give the appearance of broad public support for a particular issue, has long been a favored tactic of the Left’s wealthy special interests.”

Justice Alito appears to be ProPublica’s next target.

Soros-backed investigators published a story about Alito taking a “luxury fishing vacation” with GOP billionaire Paul Singer in 2008. The story alleged that Alito accepted the gift under unethical circumstances. Justice Alito roundly refuted the claims.

Several of the groups that received money from the Sandler Foundation called for investigations into Alito’s purported “unethical behavior.”

Biden Regime Accused of Using Titan Sub Disaster to Deflect Heat from Hunter

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) The Biden Defense Department reportedly had a fix as early as Sunday on the deadly implosion of the deep sea submersible Titan, raising questions and concerns about why the information wasn’t made public until Thursday, when recovery efforts turned into a salvage mission for the sub and the crew of five who died deep in the North Atlantic.

The search for the allegedly missing Titanic-bound sub dominated news cycles for days, overshadowing a series of incendiary reports centering on the alleged criminal corruption of the Biden family, culminating on Thursday with IRS whistleblower testimony delivered to the House Ways and Means Committee that directly implicated the president and showed his Justice Department interfering with the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden.

New reporting from the Wall Street Journal revealed that the U.S. Navy “first heard the Titan sub implosion hours after the submersible began its mission, officials involved in the search said.”

In the immediate aftermath of the sub’s disappearance, a “top secret U.S. Navy acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines” heard “what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the commander on site, U.S. defense officials said,” the WSJ reported.

The new information contradicted the days-long narrative that a desperate search was being conducted to find the Titan sub.

Officials claimed the information was withheld “because it wanted to ensure search-and-rescue operations continued and couldn’t say for sure it was an implosion.” The official explanation received a wave of skeptical backlash.

“The Biden administration knew the Titan submarine imploded Sunday,” tweeted the New York Post’s Miranda Divine. “But waited until today to make it public. Convenient smokescreen for today’s House Ways & Means release of IRS whistleblower testimony of DOJ sabotage of the Hunter Biden investigation.”

Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec claimed that “The entire thing was a distraction op,” and Dear America podcast host Graham Allen dubiously asked, “The whole thing was to distract us?!”
