Schumer Now Claims Supreme Court’s 3 Liberal Justices Are ‘MAGA’ Too

(Abdul–Rahman Oladimeji Bello, Headline USA) Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, seemingly unsatisfied with the court’s unanimous ruling on the regulatory reach of the EPA, proceeded to slam the Supreme Court and its justices on social media.

The high court this week made unanimously ruled to strike down Biden’s EPA land grab, effectively putting brakes on the Biden administration’s effort to regulate all “relatively permanent” waterways under the Clean Water Act.

“This MAGA Supreme Court is continuing to erode our country’s environmental laws,” Schumer said on Twitter. “Make no mistake – this ruling will mean more polluted water, and more destruction of wetlands.”

Following Schumer’s declaration of all nine justices as MAGA, users on social media blasted the democrat, noting that he considers every person with an opposing opinion as MAGA. 

Scott Stephenson tweeted, “Sotomayor, Kagan, and Brown Jackson are MAGA now. Hot damn! We are truly changing the world.”

Responding to Schumer’s tweet, George Wirth also tweeted, “The EPA keeps broadening the definition of what constitutes things like “waterway” or “wetland”; which means they are unilaterally increasing their own authority and power. These definitions (and the EPA’s jurisdiction) are supposed to be set by Congress, not the EPA itself.”

Writing for five justices, Justice Samuel Alito released an opinion after Thursday’s ruling, writing that, “Understanding the CWA to apply to wetlands that are distinguishable from otherwise covered ‘waters of the United States’ would substantially broaden [existing statute] to define ‘navigable waters’ as ‘waters of the United States and adjacent wetlands.”

Taking the same stand as Schumer, the White House reportedly commented that the court’s ruling “aims to take our country backwards.” By contrast, Republicans and industry groups, along with farmers and property owners, celebrated the ruling as a blow against excessive regulation and federal overreach. 

Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., derided the Biden regime for “weaponizing” its expanded EPA reach as a power grab.

“In a major victory for Montana farmers and ranchers, the Supreme Court ruled against this unconstitutional overreach and reaffirmed the rights of private property owners.”

Serial Sperm-Donor Running for NYC Council to Fight Corruption

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A serial sperm-donor has decided to run for City Council in New York City in order to fight the corruption that he sees in the city, the New York Post reported.

Jonathan David Rinaldi, 44, says that he wants to join the council to fight for parental rights, especially considering he has fathered at least a dozen children in the past two years.

Rinaldi, who claims to have “superior” unvaccinated “genetic material,” told the Post that he wants to have as many children as possible.

“I’d like as many as God will give me,” he said.

“Why put your entire bloodline into one child when you can spread it out?” he continued. “Eighteen is a holy number in Judaism. And the next one is thirty-six, so I’ll reassess then.”

Rinaldi’s political ambitions stem from his fatherhood, though it is unclear that he actually knows the children.

“As a parent, it’s my responsibility to fight for my kids,” Rinaldi said.

He added that he is irritated by New York City’s “noncompliant” politicians who are bankrupting the city via the illegal immigrant crisis.

His concerns about immigration also stem from his care for the various children who share his genetics.

“I want to make sure I can create an environment for my children to flourish and be successful,” he said. “And with a bankrupt city, nobody is going to be able to do anything.”

Ultimately, for Rinaldi, politics is not about personal celebrity, but about protecting his numerous offspring from political corruption.

“I’m not in this for fame,” said Rinaldi, who has three known children with his ex-wife, a Haitian.

“I’m in this because I have kids, and I’m not going to let the city go to hell because men don’t stand up,” he continued. “I was compelled by God to do this.”

FBI Used Informant, Wiretap and Subpoena Power to Investigate QAnon

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Recently released FBI documents indicate that the bureau opened a preliminary investigation in late 2018, likely issued multiple subpoenas and utilized at least one “highly sensitive” undercover informant to discover the identity of “QAnon”—the internet personality from which numerous conspiracy theories emanated, mostly during the presidency of Donald Trump.

However, the FBI apparently closed its probe in January 2019 without collecting any evidence, according to the heavily redacted records, which the bureau posted on its website last week. Another FBI record about QAnon was drafted in August 2019, but there is no indication that the bureau reopened its investigation.

The records show that the FBI opened a preliminary investigation on August 13, 2018, “based on allegations that an unknown person was posing as a federal government official on internet message boards using the name QANON and potentially profiting off and/or inciting violence by use of their false personation.”

“QANON purports to be a highly placed federal official with a ‘Q Clearance’ and access to the President. QANON purports that there is a conspiracy amongst various law enforcement agencies to overthrow the President,” the FBI records say.

“QANON further states that many current and former members of the government, along with various specifically and generally named celebrities and other U.S. persons are involved in pedophilia and child kidnapping rings.”

The FBI’s investigative strategy reportedly included grand jury subpoenas, conducting interviews and reviewing of financial records.

It’s not clear if a grand jury was involved in the investigation, but the FBI records do say that the bureau’s New York field office attempted to identify QAnon by subpoenaing a person or group of people. The recipient or recipients of subpoenas is redacted from the FBI records.

Additionally, the FBI tapped someone’s phone in October 2018 as part of its investigation.

One of the last records, drafted on Jan. 2, 2019, says that the FBI also used a “highly sensitive intelligence source” in its investigation.

“Recipients are cautioned to avoid taking any action based on this information that could compromise the source without prior contact with the FBIHQ operational division, section, or field office, as appropriate,” the record says.

The rest of this record is redacted.

The records indicate that the FBI closed its investigation in January 2019.

“All investigative techniques and methods have been completed /discontinued. No leads were set during the course of this investigation. No evidence was collected during the course of this investigation,” a Jan. 28, 2019 memo states. “No criminal subject was identified after logical and reasonable preliminary investigation. [An unnamed assistant U.S. Attorney] of the Southern District of New York concurred with closing.”

Throughout Trump’s presidency, Q posted cryptic messages on the websites 4Chan and 8Chan, and the persona’s followers would try to decipher their meaning. This often led to absurd conspiracy theories, such as that Trump was still secretly the president, Hillary Clinton would be executed at Guantanamo Bay and the deceased JFK Jr. would reappear to run for president in 2024 with Trump as his running mate.

Democrats painted QAnon as a dangerous Trump-driven conspiracy that encouraged its adherents to do things such as storm the Capitol.

DOJ Drops Charges for Disgraced Ex-Prosecutor, Despite ‘Egregious’ Ethics Violations

(Robert Jonathan, Headline USA) As things stand today, the U.S. Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick Garland won’t prosecute former U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins for various ethical transgressions.

Earlier this month, the George Soros-backed, far-left Rollins stepped down as the top law enforcement officer in Massachusetts shortly before the DOJ inspector general released a 161-report that detailed alleged violations of the Hatch Act and other improprieties.

This law generally prohibits partisan political activity by those employed in the executive branch of the federal government.

“We found Rollins’s conduct described throughout this report violated federal
regulations, numerous DOJ policies, her Ethics Agreement, and applicable law, and fell far
short of the standards of professionalism and judgment that the Department should
expect of any employee, much less a U.S. Attorney,” the report concluded.

The U.S. Office of the Special Counsel conducted a companion investigation and published a 105-page report.

In terms of Rollins trying to meddle in the election for her former post of Suffolk County, Mass., district attorney, in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to help her would-be successor, the agency described the situation as “one of the most egregious Hatch Act violations that OSC has investigated.”

OSC also said that Rollins exhibited “an extraordinary abuse of her power as U.S. Attorney” through multiple alleged Hatch Act violations.

Rollins reportedly leaked info to local media about the candidate she disfavored, Kevin Hayden, and then allegedly lied about it, “in an ultimately unsuccessful effort to create the impression publicly, before the primary election, that DOJ was or would be investigating Hayden for public corruption,” the IG report explained.

“We also concluded that Rollins falsely testified under oath during her OIG interview
when she denied that she was the federal law enforcement source that provided nonpublic, sensitive DOJ information to the Herald reporter about a possible Hayden criminal
investigation,” the report added.

OSC insisted that the leak “was an extraordinary breach of public trust by a senior government official.”

Hayden won the Democrat primary over Rollins ally Ricardo Arroyo, a Boston city councilor, and was elected unopposed in the general election.

Rollin’s attendance at a July 2022 DNC fundraiser featuring First Lady Jill Biden originally prompted the probe.

Among other things, the feds also scrutinized Rollins’s alleged use of her personal smartphone to conduct official business, as well as a Hollywood excursion paid for by an outside group without obtaining DOJ pre-approval.

She also allegedly scored free Boston Celtics tickets (using an employee as a go-between) in a way that purportedly ran afoul of federal government ethics rules.

According to the New York Times, investigators concluded that Rollins “had repeatedly blurred the boundaries between governmental duties and her grievances, private life or political objectives.”

Among others, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was particularly displeased with the lack of action by the DOJ, which could give further credence to the existence of a politicized legal system, with Democrats as sole beneficiaries.

The DOJ under Garland, a “moderate” that Obama tried to install on Supreme Court, has evinced little reluctance to prosecute anyone in the Trump orbit.

“In late December, [Inspector General Michael] Horowitz informed department prosecutors that Ms. Rollins had misled his investigators for a possible prosecution. They declined to bring charges, he said. A spokeswoman for…Garland had no comment,” the Times reported.

Assessing the Rollins non-prosecution, influential constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, a self-described liberal who supported Garland’s AG nomination, wrote that “The DOJ’s declination of charges follows a similar pattern that suggests a higher threshold standard applied by prosecutors in charging one of their own.”

Chicago Schools Enroll Illegals w/ No Vax Records, Enraging Parents

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Parents in Chicago aired their concerns over public schools allowing illegal immigrant children to enroll despite their lack of health records, as schools require local kids to bring proof of vaccination and citizenship in order to enroll.

Jennifer Preston, a mom in the Cook County area, made a statement in an interview with Fox & Friends First, detailing the application process.

“Right now in the school district in which we live we have to provide residency, citizenship, health records and vaccination records on an almost annual basis,” Preston explained.

“I have a child right now, and I must have five emails in my inbox stating that my child cannot return to school next year without a specific vaccine. So it’s certainly inconsistent with what they’re allowing for the migrant children coming into the Chicago public schools.”

According to Fox News, a single elementary school will take in 40 to 50 migrant children. Dozens of high school aged kids are enrolling in several area high schools to finish out the academic year.

Preston slammed the city’s sanctuary policies as well. Tensions over the laws hit a fever pitch at a recent meeting concerning the take over a set of college dorms in order to house illegals.

“We are inviting in everyone like a magnet, ‘Everyone come here, collect all your freebies. We are going to give it to you.’ Every sucker in here is going to pay for it,” another resident said.

Preston also discussed the inconsistency of allowing migrant children into schools without health documentation, especially after city officials were so stringent through the pandemic.

“We had so many restrictions and policies in place a few years ago to the far, far extreme,” Preston said. “And I’m not suggesting we go back there at all, but there must be something consistent with what we are making our taxpaying U.S. citizens and residents do that is consistent with bringing in migrants.”

Chicago has struggled to shelter the immigrants coming into the city. Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot begged Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to stop sending thousands of migrants to the sanctuary city, despite her previous offer to take care of them.

“We simply have no more shelters spaces, or resources to accommodate an increase of individuals at this level,” she griped.

Squad Member Accuses GOP of Being ‘Godless’

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., a charter member of “The Squad,” decried Republicans for being “godless” for pushing spending cuts.

The proclamation came during a speech on the House floor in the midst of debates concerning the nation’s debt ceiling, the Daily Caller reported.

“The Republicans continue to govern in a way that is clueless, callous and with great contempt, and I would say godless, because faith without works is dead,” said Pressley.

Pressley made her minute-long speech next to a sign that read “House Republicans are forcing a default on our debt.”

However, neither she nor any other Democrats voted in favor of the bill passed by the House that would have authorized an increase to the debt ceiling on the condition that the Biden administration rein in its profligate spending.

GOP lawmakers proposed spending cuts to accompany the raising the limit of the national debt. On the other side of the aisle, Democrats insist that the ceiling increase should have no other conditions attached.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and President Joe Biden discussed the debt ceiling on Monday, but failed to reach a consensus.

Some left-wing representatives called for Biden to increase the ceiling under the 14th Amendment, thereby dodging the need for Congress to deliberate.

“Republicans want us to make an impossible choice: Extreme drastic cuts to life-saving programs or a catastrophic default on our debt, both of which would impact our most vulnerable,” Pressley said.

The House passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act, which increases the debt ceiling and repeals some parts of the Inflation Reduction Act.

The new act also requires Congress to approve multimillion-dollar changes and adjustments to federally funded welfare programs.

“Stop playing with people’s lives. This is not a game. Pass a clean debt ceiling increase,” Pressley said.

Several Democratic members of Congress attempted to stoke the flames of controversy surrounding the debt ceiling and spread disinformation to pin the blame on Republicans even as they have made clear they will refuse to negotiate on it.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., claimed there would be “backlash from our entire House Democratic Caucus… also in the streets,” if Biden made the deal with McCarthy, cutting spending in order to raise the debt ceiling.

Rep. Jamal Bowman, D-N.Y., one of the second-generation “Squad” members, who has sought to make a name for himself with a series of bombastic confrontations with GOP lawmakers, decreed that compromise of any kind was off the table, The Hill reported.

“I mean, we don’t negotiate with terrorists globally,” he told CNN’s Manu Raju on Thursday. “Why are we gonna negotiate with the economic terrorists here that are the Republican Party?”

CNN Poll: Two-Thirds of Americans See Biden as a ‘Setback’ or Worse

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) President Joe Biden’s already abysmal polling numbers took a major hit in a recent CNN poll, which suggests that two-thirds of Americans see the president’s potential 2024 reelection as a “setback” or worse for America.

CNN’s Jake Tapper went so far as to describe the news as “horrible” for the President and his reelection odds.

A mere 33% of the nation believes that the reelection of Biden would be a positive step forward for Americans, with 67% suggesting that it would be a “setback” or an outright “disaster” for the nation, Red State reported.

Biden’s approval rating is similarly low, coming in at a mere 35%.

A recent Fox News poll had an even more dire warning for Biden, with a whopping 48% of Americans claiming that Biden’s presidency is actively harming their family life.

Despite his poor polling numbers, the Democratic National Committee has suggested that Biden will not need to campaign or run in a primary, and has added that it will organize no debates.

Anti-vaxxer candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., meanwhile, has gained slowly but steadily on the president in primary polls, climbing up to 20% to Joe Biden’s 60%.

From his radical rhetoric to his disastrous inflationary policies to his bungling of the border crisis, President Biden’s tenure has thus far been a comedy of errors. Things are so bad that half of the nation also believes the president ought to be impeached.

“Should Congress begin impeachment proceedings against President Biden?” a recent poll asked.

The majority of all polled, 53%, said it was “at least somewhat likely” that since taking office the president has committed “high crimes and misdemeanors that would justify Congress impeaching him.”

Among them, 38% said it was “very likely” that he had committed “high crimes and misdemeanors;” 28% said it was “not at all likely.”

Meanwhile, as the nation is in peril on multiple fronts, Biden took off for a four day vacation.

House Ethics Probe of Swalwell’s Fang-Fang Affair Ends w/ No Action

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) The House Ethics Committee officially concluded its investigation into California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell’s Chinese spy mistress, determining that nothing ought to be done.

Swalwell’s mistress, Christine Fang, also known as Fang Fang, ran a political intelligence operation for China’s civilian spy agency for years.

At the behest of China’s Ministry of State Security, Fang enrolled at a California college and began seducing various up-and-coming public officials, potentially including Swalwell, for whom she worked as an intern.

When asked by Tucker Carlson about the alleged intimate relationship, Swalwell’s team declined to answer because the information was “classified.”

Yet despite mounting evidence against Swalwell, the House committee concluded in a letter to Swalwell that there was insufficient evidence to suggest that he “violated House Rules, laws, or other standards of conduct in connection with your interactions with Ms. Christine Fang,” the Gateway Pundit reported.

They also noted that “the Committee will take no further action in this matter” because it had “reviewed allegations of improper influence by foreign agents” and found no evidence.

“We encourage you to contact the Office of House Security for any guidance on steps you can take to prevent or address such attempts,” they continued, adding that “it is not our intention to release this letter publicly unless you make public statements regarding this matter that are inconsistent with the spirit and purpose of this letter.”

After the ruling was handed down, Swalwell released a statement celebrating his alleged innocence.

“It’s time to move on,” he wrote.

“The bipartisan House Ethics Committee had this case for over two years. . . Today, they are closing this matter and did not make a finding of any wrongdoing.”

He also suggested that he would dedicate himself to defending democracy from its attackers.

“I will continue to be a voice on behalf of my constituents and a passionate defender of democracy,” he concluded.

‘He Came Back for Seconds’: Allegations of Obama’s Drug-Fueled, Gay Sex Romps Resurface

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Larry Sinclair says he makes a living these days running a non-profit that builds affordable housing, but he’s making headlines again for the bombshell allegations he dropped that rocked the 2008 U.S. presidential race.

That was when Sinclair claimed that he had previously had multiple drug-fueled, homosexual hook-ups with Barack Obama. Sinclair claimed it started when he was looking for a good time on a visit to Chicago in 1999, when a limo driver introduced him to Obama, then a relatively unknown Illinois state senator, at a swank bar.

Sinclair said he didn’t know who Obama was, but after some brief conversation the duo climbed into the limo to do some drugs.

“I started snorting, he started smoking,” Sinclair recalled in a video posted this week to Rumble by The Liberty Daily. “I actually put my hand on his knee and started to rub up his thigh. And I performed oral sex on Barack Obama.”

The explosive allegations didn’t stop there; Sinclair said that Obama “had actually come back for seconds” the following day when he showed up at Sinclair’s hotel room.

“I performed oral sex on him in the hotel room,” claimed Sinclair, who said he was “just kind of floored” when he saw the same Obama delivering the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

Sinclair made his allegations public during Obama’s 2008 presidential run. At a press conference at the time, Sinclair claimed, “I performed fellatio on Senator Obama in the limousine during the time Senator Obama was smoking crack cocaine.”

After that press conference, Sinclair said “he was arrested by the D.C. police department on the orders of Beau Biden.”

President Joe Biden’s son, Beau, at the time was Delaware’s attorney general and, “apparently he had a grand jury indictment from two weeks after I went public on Obama, accusing me of theft that never took place,” Sinclair said. He didn’t elaborate, but a 2008 article from Politico dug up what was reported to be a criminal record that included forgery charges.

“It is what it is,” Sinclair’s spokesman said at the time of his client’s record. “He’s not hiding from it, he’s not denying it.”

Sinclair’s alleged encounters with Obama’s orbit before his 2008 press conference were equally disturbing, with claims that he had been contacted by the former choir director of Obama’s spiritual guru Jeremiah Wright’s church.

The man, Donald Young, said that “he, too, had intimate relations with Barack Obama, and had for years,” Sinclair claimed, adding that Young said he “needed to protect himself, that they were going to come after me,” for retaliation if he took the allegations public.

Young was killed in a Chicago shooting days before the 2007 Iowa Caucus, a homicide case that was never solved, according to the account in Sinclair’s book Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder?

“This is a staggeringly true story of how the sitting U.S.President with the help of the Mainstream Media, the Chicago Police Department, the FBI, the Delaware Attorney General and others got away with murder and more,” reads the publisher’s book synopsis.

After Young was murdered, his mother reportedly offered a plea to the media.

“She wanted to know why her son had to die to protect his friend, the president, which was referring to Barack Obama,” Sinclair said.

WATCH: Congressional Witness Exposes Democrats’ Electoral Big Lie

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A congressional witness unleashed a barrage of facts to counter the leftist talking point that American elections are ridden with voter suppression, during a House Subcommittee on Elections hearing that effectively pushed back against the Democrats’ lies about election security.

Subcommittee Chairwoman Laurel Lee, R-Fla., introduced the session by emphasizing the need for electoral reforms and voter security.

“Our hearing today will highlight how voters across the country are demanding reforms to ensure that every eligible American voter can be confident that they will have access to the ballot box and that their ballot will be counted according to established law,”  Lee said.

Lee’s comments were backed by Scot Turner, a former member of the Georgia legislature, who torched Democrats for constantly spewing conspiracy theories about elections, particularly the 2016 election.

“Faith in the results of elections is vitally key for the health of our republic. But more and more, that faith is shaken by false allegations,” Turner said.

“The 2016 presidential election was marred by allegations of Russian hacking. And while evidence showed that the hacking was of email servers, by December of 2016, half of Democrat voters believed that Russians had changed vote tallies in favor of Donald Trump,” the former state representative continued.

According to The Federalist, Democrats have attempted to tarnish conservative activists who have expressed concern about election integrity in the U.S. The article specially highlights how Big Tech platforms shielded the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, dubbing it as Russian disinformation without evidence.

Turner named Stacey Abrams, the twice-failed candidate for Georgia governor, as a Democrat who has claimed the 2018 and 2022 elections were stolen from her by Republicans.

“Abrams’s refusal [to concede] in 2018 is when it became apparent to me as a state representative just how damaging misinformation and disinformation are to our country,” Turner said.

Abrams has been embraced by the legacy media as some sort of defender of voter rights and democracy, despite constantly promoting the baseless lie that her candidacies failed because of so-called voter disenfranchisement. She has even blasted several election security laws championed by the state government, falsely accusing them of Republican plots to steal elections.

“At each step of the way and with every improvement to the voting process, the Georgia General Assembly has had critics screaming at them that what they’re doing is wrong, racist, and will hurt communities of various types,” Turner said.

“And just like the claims that Russia hacked the election and changed votes, or that Abrams lost because of ‘voter suppression,’ or that the election was stolen, the data and evidence don’t back up those claims.” 

However, the same treatment has not been awarded to conservatives. Just on Thursday, two members of the Oath Keepers were punished with hefty sentences after protesting the 2020 election on January 6. The Gateway Pundit reported that Stewart Rhodes and Kelly Meggs, both Trump supporters, did not have any weapons on them during the protest. Both Rhodes and Meggs, however, were sentenced to 18 and 12 years in federal prison, respectively. 

Former President Donald Trump, himself, has been attacked by the leftist legacy media for questioning the 2020 election, with some Democrats unsuccessfully pushing to pass legislation to bar Trump from ever running again.
