Comer Obliterates Democrats’ Absurd Defense of Biden Bribery Scandal

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., strongly rebuked Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., for perpetuating false claims regarding the FBI’s unclassified FD-1023 form.

The now infamous informant file reportedly details damning conversations between a confidential human source and a Burisma executive who allegedly admitted to bribing President Joe Biden, when he served vice president for the Obama administration for $5 million. 

Responding to Raskin’s repeated defense of the embattled Democrat president, Comer issued a statement on Friday, stating, “It doesn’t matter how many times Ranking Member Raskin repeats the lie, it’s still a lie.”  

Comer emphasized that the information contained in the FD-1023 form did not originate from Rudy Giuliani, contrary to the dubious claims made. Comer cited Former Attorney General William Barr, who publicly confirmed that the FD-1023 was not closed but rather forwarded to the U.S. Attorney in Delaware for further investigation.  

Furthermore, FBI Director Wray personally informed Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Comer that the FD-1023 form was connected to an ongoing investigation. 

“The Biden bribery record contains serious allegations, and the American people deserve answers, transparency, and accountability,” Comer emphasized

He affirmed the Oversight Committee’s commitment to following the facts and ensuring accountability on behalf of the American people. Comer firmly stated, “Democrats’ lies and deterrents will not distract us from this goal.” 

The allegations within the Biden bribery record have raised concerns and underscored the need for a thorough examination. 

Grassley and Comer first learned of the informant file from a whistleblower who raised the alarm over the FBI alleged reluctance in properly investigating the allegations in the document. 

Comer issued a subpoena for the document but was stonewalled by FBI officials on concerns that releasing the document would endanger the life of the informant, who had worked with the DOJ for several years including the Obama administration. 

Comer then threatened to file charges of contempt of Congress against FBI Director Christopher Wray over his unwillingness to respond to the demands of the subpoena.  

Following weeks of negotiations, Wray agreed to make the classified file available for all members of the Oversight Committee, including Raskin who had attempted to dismiss the scathing report.

Texas Orders Mass Closure of DEI Offices at Public Universities

Texas Orders Mass Closure of DEI Offices at Public Universities

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation into law that compels all state-funded colleges and universities in the state to close their diversity, equity and inclusion offices, which critics contend have been used for decades to promote discrimination and division.

The new law, which one of its sponsors called the country’s most significant DEI ban in higher education, was approved last week as the U.S. Supreme Court later this month is widely expected to ban all colleges and universities from considering race as a factor in their admissions decisions, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Any public college or university in Texas unable to certify compliance with the new law will have allocated state funding frozen, preventing the institutions from furthering a leftist DEI agenda that critics say discriminates against certain groups and fosters divisive policies.

“Texas is leading the nation and ensuring our campuses return to focusing on the strength of diversity and promoting a merit-based approach where individuals are judged on their qualifications, skills and contributions,” state Senator Brandon Creighton, a Republican and one of the bill’s authors, said in a statement.

Paulette Granberry Russell, president of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, said the law nixing her bread and butter niche marked a “sad occasion for all students at Texas’ public universities.”

Scientists Play God, Create Synthetic Human Embryo w/out Egg, Sperm

Scientists Play God, Create Synthetic Human Embryo w/out Egg, Sperm

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A group of scientists has come under professional, legal and public scrutiny for reportedly creating synthetic human embryos in a lab without eggs or sperm, drawing accusations that they are breaking the law and dangerously playing God.

The controversial breakthrough from scientists at Cambridge University and the California Institute of Technology has potential to provide “insights into miscarriages and genetic disorders,” but has raised serious ethical, religious and legal concerns, according to the Daily Mail, which noted that “synthetic embryos are not covered by laws in the UK or in most countries around the world.”

Scientists not involved with the project responded to its creations with concern, decrying the ethically-challenged technology as “chilling.”

The synthetic embryos don’t have any brain development or a beating heart, but they include cells that could grow to form the placenta and yolk sac. It’s unknown, however, if they could mature beyond the earliest stages of development, the Daily Mail reported. The Cambridge-California scientists haven’t published an official research paper on their breakthrough, which has also made it difficult for their peers to offer judgment.

“It is important that research and researchers in this area proceed cautiously, carefully and transparently,” Professor James Briscoe at the Francis Crick Institute said.

The breakthrough, which was detailed last week at the International Society for Stem Cell Research’s annual meeting in Boston, carries the risk “that missteps or unjustified claims will have a chilling effect on the public and policymakers,” which “would be a major setback for the field,” Briscoe said.

He also emphasized the “profound ethical and legal questions” surrounding the development of synthetic embryos.

“Unlike human embryos arising from in vitro fertilization, where there is an established legal framework, there are currently no clear regulations governing stem cell-derived models of human embryos,” he said.

“There is an urgent need for regulations to provide a framework for the creation and use of stem cell-derived models of human embryos.”

Dr. Ildem Akerman, associate professor in functional genomics at the University of Birmingham, agreed that the uncharted experimentation has “significant implications” that need close monitoring.

“Obviously, this research can provide a deeper understanding of how tissues and organs form, potentially leading to advancements in regenerative medicine and the treatment of developmental disorders,” she said.

“Nevertheless, the ability to do something does not justify doing it. Ethical frameworks should be established and maintained in line with the public’s view on the subject.”

Prayerful Protests Strikeout Dodgers’ Demonic ‘Pride’ Stunt

Prayerful Protests Strikeout Dodgers’ Demonic ‘Pride’ Stunt

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The Los Angeles Dodgers threw a beanball at decency with a Pride Night abomination featuring a gang of notoriously anti-Catholic drag queens dressed in grotesquely offensive nun costumes, resulting in massive prayerful protest outside the stadium and disastrously low attendance for the team’s game.

Thousands of protesters organized by Catholics for Catholics held a “prayerful procession” outside the stadium the same day the disgraceful Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence received a Community Hero Award at the stadium. Just before the Dodgers’ match against the San Francisco Giants started, the group was “honored” during the team’s Pride Night, the Daily Caller reported.

“If you are a Catholic or Christian and take your faith seriously, you cannot let such an offense occur against the Sacred Heart of Jesus,” Catholics for Catholics said in its May 31 event announcement. “Even non-Catholics have been speaking up.”

Initially, the Dodgers backed away from celebrating the “drag nun” group on May 17 after criticism from conservatives and Christians. The decision drew fire from the state’s leftist lawmakers and radical LGBT groups, leading MLB’s version of Bud Light to move forward with its plans.

The protest coincided with the Catholic feast day of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, according to the Daily Caller, and was devastatingly effective as evidenced by an abundance of empty seats in the stadium, a tidal wave of peaceful protest outside the venue and a brutal backlash on social media.

Protesters held signs like “Men Can’t Be Nuns/Sisters” and “Sacred Heart of Jesus Have Mercy On Us” as an opposition to the promotion of deviancy by the now-infamous baseball team. Many people also offered prayers during the protest, including Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec.

“The LA Dodgers decided to insult Christians tonight. The team ‘honored’ a hedonistic & blasphemous group of transgender ‘nuns.’ Not smart,” tweeted Benny Johnson. “Christians responded with fire and brimstone. Your brand will not recover from this. Eff around. Find out.”

Professional Soccer Game Ended Early Because of ‘Homophobic’ Chant

Professional Soccer Game Ended Early Because of ‘Homophobic’ Chant

(Headline USA) The United States men’s match against Mexico was cut short Thursday night by the referee after the stadium erupted into echoes of a ‘homophobic’ chant from Mexican soccer fans, who for years have directed the chant at opposing teams’ goalkeepers.

The controversial Mexican tradition involves the Mexican crowd chanting a Spanish word. The word translates to “gay prostitute,” and is directed at the opposing team’s goalie, according to Sporting News.

Officials have been trying to cancel the tradition for years, with fines, banishment from stadiums, and now early finishes.

Play was halted because of the deafening noise in the 90th minute at Allegiant Stadium with the U.S. up three goals.

When action resumed, 12 minutes of stoppage time were signaled but the persistent chanting motivated Salvadoran referee Iván Barton to end the match in the eighth added minute.

FIFA fined Mexico 100,000 Swiss francs ($108,000) in January for anti-gay chants by fans at two games.

That came after the sport’s governing body banned fans from two of Mexico’s games in 2021 after the chants broke out at an Olympic qualifying tournament.

FIFA also fined Mexico 60,000 Swiss francs ($65,000) in 2021 for the chants.

Hollywood Actor Charged After Slamming his Car Into a House

(Headline USA) Los Angeles prosecutors charged former “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson with reckless driving Friday, three months after authorities said he crashed into a Beverly Hills home.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed one misdemeanor count of reckless driving against the actor and writer but did not release details about the March 4 collision in Beverly Hills.

“We believe that Mr. Davidson engaged in reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in his involvement in a serious collision into a home,” the DA’s office wrote.

“Luckily, no one was seriously injured as a result of this collision.”

Davidson’s arraignment is set for July 27. His representatives and Beverly Hills police did not immediately return requests for comment.

Prosecutors used the high-profile case to highlight the “devastating consequences” of reckless driving.

“In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years,” the office wrote in its statement.

“This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it’s crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable.”

State Dept. Targets Ugandans for Passing Anti-Sodomy Law

State Dept. Targets Ugandans for Passing Anti-Sodomy Law

(Headline USA) Joe Biden’s State Department announced it is imposing visa restrictions for Ugandans it accuses of “undermining the democratic process” in Uganda after the country passed an anti-sodomy law.

A statement from the State Department did not name any targeted individuals.

It said the U.S. will consider other possible actions “to promote accountability for Ugandan officials and other individuals responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic process in Uganda.”

The State Department claimed these individuals were “abusing human rights, including those of LGBTQI+ persons.”

Uganda’s new law, adopted last month, punishes homosexuality, including with the death penalty in some radical cases.

The legislation has been widely condemned by sodomite activists, but it has wide support in Uganda.

Homosexuality was already illegal in Uganda under a law criminalizing it because it is “against the order of nature.”

The punishment for that offense is life imprisonment.

Sodomy is criminalized in more than 30 of Africa’s 54 countries.

Africans see it as behavior imported from abroad and not a sexual orientation.

Federal Judge Blocks Law that Protects Kids From Genital Mutilation

Federal Judge Blocks Law that Protects Kids From Genital Mutilation

(Headline USA) A federal judge issued an order Friday stopping part of an Indiana ban on genital and hormonal mutilation on minors from taking effect as scheduled.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana sought the temporary injunction in its legal challenge of the Republican-backed law, which was enacted this spring amid a national push by GOP-led legislatures to curb genital and hormonal mutilation.

The order from U.S. District Court Judge James Patrick Hanlon will allow the law’s prohibition on gender-bending surgeries to take effect. Hanlon’s order blocks provisions that would prohibit Indiana doctors from communicating with out-of-state doctors about genital and hormonal mutilation for their patients younger than 18.

The ACLU filed the lawsuit within hours after Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb signed the bill. The challenge, on behalf of four youths undergoing transgender treatments and an Indiana doctor who provides such care, argued the ban would violate the U.S. Constitution’s equal protection guarantees.

Indiana’s Legislature approved the ban after contentious hearings.

Hanlon, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, wrote that he was blocking the law from taking effect because its opponents had demonstrated potential irreparable harm to those undergoing treatment and shown “some likelihood of success” in arguments that it was unconstitutional.

ACLU leaders hailed the ruling as a victory.

“We won’t rest until this unconstitutional law is struck down for good,” Ken Falk, the ACLU of Indiana’s legal director, said in a statement.

At least 20 GOP-led states have now enacted laws restricting or banning such genital and hormonal mutilation for minors. Federal judges have also blocked enforcement of laws in Alabama and Arkansas.

Republican state Attorney General Todd Rokita’s office said in a statement it was disappointed in the decision but that “we will continue to fight for the children.” The statement said the ruling “recognizes that the State has shown there are good reasons for regulating gender transition procedures for minors.”

The office didn’t say whether it would attempt to appeal the injunction before July 1.

A top attorney for the state told Hanlon during a court hearing on Wednesday that risks from gender-affirming treatments during puberty such as future fertility, bone strength, brain development and possible reversibility had not been adequately studied by scientists.

Such factors make it within the Legislature’s authority to decide “we don’t want our children to be part of this grand experiment,” Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher said.

‘Clearly Out of His Mind’: Biden’s ‘Queen’ Gaffe Raises Cognitive Concerns

‘Clearly Out of His Mind’: Biden’s ‘Queen’ Gaffe Raises Cognitive Concerns

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) President Joe Biden continued his string of embarrassing gaffes and disturbing breaks with reality this week, starting when he was publicly rebuffed trying to cop a lecherous squeeze of a famous actress and ending with a bewildering outburst that left viewers stunned and alarmed.

Wrapping up an already-jumbled speech Friday at the National Safer Communities Summit in West Hartford, Connecticut, Biden babbled about an incoming storm with a bizarre reference to his old favorite “dog-faced, lying, pony-soldier” before abruptly proclaiming, “All right. God Save the Queen, man,” and stumbled confusedly around stage until being hustled off by his handlers.

The delusional shout-out to Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September, left the audience visibly confused, political pundits alarmed and social media aflame.

“Joe Biden is clearly out of his mind and barely seems to know what he is saying, but a strikingly ironic remark by the president in light of his long history of hatred towards Britain,” tweeted Nile Gardiner, a former aide to the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Biden’s own comms team was reportedly caught off guard and left to clean up the latest mess dropped on stage by their aged boss.

“Several of you have asked me why he might have said that,” wrote the lead press pool reporter about his interaction with Biden’s media team. “I have no idea. Other poolers likewise have no idea.”

The strange remark echoed Biden’s prior public engagement with dead people, when he searched a crowd for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., at a rally, and his rambling exit Friday left many observers alarmed over the president’s increasingly obvious cognitive decline.

“I have seen countless – and I mean countless – drunk people say something totally obscure like ‘God save the Queen’ and then jaunt around like a Joe Biden just did in an effort to play it off as if they were sober. He’s truly incapacitated,” tweeted political strategist Evan Berryhill.

“Will anyone Invoke 25th amendment?” asked Daily Signal investigative columnist Roman Jankowski, while popular political podcaster Tim Pool diagnosed, “ok he’s gone. His brain is jelly.”

Biden’s royal slip with reality came only days after he raised concerns about his cognitive decline with ramblings about building an oceanic railroad of preposterous proportions.

“We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean,” Biden blustered at Wednesday’s League of Conservation Voters gathering. “We have plans to build in Angola, one of the largest solar plants in the world. I could go on, but I’m not. I’m going off script. I’m going to get in trouble.”

“When the president of the United States announces an 8,000+-mile railroad spanning a miles-deep ocean — something that is not now nor has ever been under consideration — Americans have every reason to be concerned,” tweeted the RNC.

Missouri GOP Sen. Josh Hawley’s press secretary, Abigail Marone, offered a practical prescription, tweeting, “Put Grandpa to bed.”
