Nashville Trans Terrorist’s Manifesto a ‘Blueprint on Total Destruction’

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) The release of the Nashville transgender shooter’s manifesto has been delayed by the FBI because it provides a “blueprint on total destruction,” the New York Post reported.

Audrey Hale opened fire on schoolchildren last month, killing six before being gunned down by local police. In the subsequent investigation, officials discovered a manifesto, among other things, in Hale’s apartment.

Yet authorities have still not released the manifesto, despite the growing public pressure to do so.

Local politicians also warned about the release of the journal’s contents.

Metro Nashville Council Member Courtney Johnston said that the FBI has decided not to release the manifesto in the near future.

“What I was told is, her manifesto was a blueprint on total destruction, and it was so, so detailed at the level of what she had planned,” Johnston said. “That document in the wrong person’s hands would be astronomically dangerous.”

Johnston also noted that, though parts of Hale’s writings would eventually be released,  “the vast, overwhelming majority of it” would constitute a threat to public safety.

“I personally don’t want to know the depths to which her psychosis reached … When I’m told by an MNPD high-ranking official that it keeps him up at night, I’m going to defer to that person in that agency that I don’t need to read that.”

Others, however, argued that people have a right to know what the manifesto contains.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., said that the manifesto would help clarify Hale’s motives.

It “could maybe tell us a little bit about what’s going on inside of her head,” Burchett said. “I think that would answer a lot of questions,” he added.

Joseph Giacalone, a professor at the City University of New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said the manifesto should be released, “even if it’s heavily redacted.”

“I think what the FBI is really concerned here with, and I think law enforcement, is that if there is something in there that is truly damaging for the transgender community, I think they are hesitant to do it because they are afraid of a violent backlash against that protected class of people,” he said.

Hunter Biden Hiding Out in White House to Avoid Child Support

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Disgraced first son Hunter Biden is reportedly in hiding at the White House as the mother of his estranged child seeks compensation for lack of child support.

According to the New York Post, former stripper Lunden Roberts requested that Biden go to jail for failing to provide financial records which would allegedly prove the lack of support for their 4 year old daughter, Navy.

Lawyers representing Roberts claimed that Biden is “flaunting the dignity of the court,” and threatened to “incarcerate the defendant in the Cleburne County Detention Center until he complies with this court’s orders.”

After Navy was born, Roberts, 32, got a court-ordered paternity test to prove the child was Hunter’s. The younger Biden recently appealed to the court to have his monthly payments reduced despite no apparent change in his income.

Clint Lancaster, Robert’s attorney, promised to investigate Biden’s records.

“Ultimately, this is going to require us to look deeply, more deeply, into Hunter’s finances,” Lancaster said. “I’m going to want to have a deposition with Mr. Biden. Like last time, I’m going to bring my forensic accountant to the deposition, unless the judge tells me I can’t.”

The trial for the payment reduction is expected to happen in July. Roberts enlisted Garrett Ziegler, former Trump adviser who published a lengthy summary on the findings in Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop, as an expert witness for the case.

Biden also owed an estimated $1 million in taxes, and is currently under investigation with the IRS.

Recent reports indicate that Attorney General Merrick Garland attempted to bury the case against the younger Biden, according to a letter from an internal whistleblower.

“Typical steps that a law enforcement investigator would take were compromised because of political considerations,” the whistleblower claimed.

The IRS agent made the proper internal disclosures before going public with the information, but must obtain congressional approval to describe the allegations more fully.

Texas Republicans Advance Bill to Mandate Display of 10 Commandments in Schools

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) State senators in the Texas GOP passed a set of bills requiring public schools to openly display the Ten Commandments, give students and staff time for daily prayer and allow teachers to read the Bible in the classroom.

Both bills passed in the state Senate with a 17-12 vote. According to Breitbart, the Texas House of Representatives will determine their final fate this week.

Republican state Sen. Phil King would mandate the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom throughout the state. When introducing the bill, King dubbed the action as tradition.

“This is an American tradition,” King said. “If schools in Texas do not have it in their funding to [display the Ten Commandments], they can accept private dollars for this.”

State Sen. Mayes Middleton, also a Republican, sponsored the second bill requiring public schools to give students and staff allotted time to pray and read the Bible as part of the curriculum.

“Allowing the Ten Commandments and prayer back into our public schools is one step we can take to make sure that all Texans have the right to freely express their sincerely held religious beliefs,” said Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick. “Bringing the Ten Commandments and prayer back to our public schools will enable our students to become better Texans.”

In August of 2022, Texas passed a similar law requiring public schools, including colleges, must display signs bearing the national motto: “In God We Trust.”

Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama and Arizona all passed similar laws.

The bill’s co-author, State Senator Bryan Hughs, R-Tex., tweeted, “The national motto, In God We Trust, asserts our collective trust in a sovereign God.”

Signs could either be provided by school funding or donated. Patriot Mobile donated several signs to Carrol Independent School District, who displayed the signs in the entry way of their buildings.

All of these bills were hotly contested. Several Twitter users decried the law as “Christofascist tradition,” and claimed that that the world is turning into the dystopia depicted in left-wing feminist novel The Handmaid’s Tale.

BREAKING: Fox Stock Tanks Upon News of Tucker Carlson’s Departure

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Fox News announced Monday that its most popular host, Tucker Carlson, is leaving the company—causing Fox stock to immediately crater.

Fox’s announcement was unexpected and abrupt. Carlson had promised to “be back on Monday” when he signed off on his Friday show in typical fashion.

“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement shortly after 11 a.m. Monday.

Fox News later reported that Carlson’s show will be replaced by “a rotation of various Fox News personalities.”

“Tucker Carlson Tonight” began airing in 2016 and had gained a dedicated audience of around 3.5 million nightly viewers as of February, Forbes reported.

Fox’s stock cratered upon the announcement. Its class B stock—which allows shareholders to vote on the company’s board of directors makeup—dropped from around $30.90 at 11 a.m. to $29.30 by 11:50 a.m., while its class A stock dipped from $33.68 to a low of $31.80.

Both stocks had begun to rebound around noon, but not by much.

Meanwhile, left-leaning media outlets have begun to attribute Carlson’s departure to the recent $787 million settlement between Fox and Dominion Voting Systems over the outlet’s coverage of voter-fraud allegations.

However, conservative pundits noted Carlson’s recent criticisms of the mainstream media and the GOP.

Carlson’s ouster also follows numerous shows that received harsh blowback from critics, including his decision to publish previously unaired footage of the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill protests. Jan. 6 provocateur Ray Epps has hinted that he plans on suing Carlson for implicating Epps as a federal asset.

Conservatives have speculated that Fox News caved to pressure campaigns from advertisers and activists who sought to undermine Carlson for his reporting. Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Glenn Greenwald noted all the times Carlson has opposed the deep state, even when doing so was unpopular with establishment Republicans and media.

Still others speculated that Carlson might be prepping for a move into politics.

“What are the chances Tucker runs for president?” asked Chronicles magazine editor Pedro Gonzales.

Immediately following his final broadcast on Friday, Carlson made an appearance at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary gala—an event at which Floriday Gov. Ron DeSantis had spoken earlier in the day. DeSantis is widely expected to announce his candidacy in early May.

During the discovery phase of the recently settled court case, text messages came to light revealing that Carlson, who had staunchly defended Trump on air, had sent text messages expressing his disdain for the former president, who is the current presidential frontronner for the 2024 GOP nomination.

DeSantis Backs Death Penalty for Child Rapists; SCOTUS Showdown Possible

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has openly backed the death penalty for child rapists, contradicting a Supreme Court ruling from 2008, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

The Florida state House and Senate have both passed HB 1297, having to do with the punishment of offenders who are found guilty of capital sexual battery.

The bill, they wrote, “provides for death sentences for certain child sexual offenders; provides for separate death penalty proceedings in such cases” along with “the imposition of sentence of life imprisonment or death.”

DeSantis is expected to sign the bill into law in the coming days, and has already noted in a podcast that he believed that the Supreme Court would be open to a challenge to their 2008 ruling.

The previous ruling in question is the 2008 Kennedy v. Louisiana decision, wherein the high court ruled against executing child rapists, citing the Eighth Amendment’s “cruel and unusual punishment” clause.

Chief Justice John Roberts along with Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, opposed the decision.

However, Cully Stimson, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Caller that she found such a challenge unlikely to succeed.

“I wouldn’t bet on it that the court is willing to take up this decision,” Stimson said, noting that four justices would have to agree to hear the case, which she finds unlikely.

Stimson’s skepticism was echoed by Gregory Caldeira, a law professor at Ohio State University, who doubted “whether it would pass muster in the Supreme Court.”

Not all legal experts remain down on DeSantis’s prospects, though.

Joshua Dressler, an Ohio State University law professor emeritus, noted that the current court “is not as concerned with precedent as some courts in the past.”

“It is conceivable that this Court would overturn Kennedy,” Dressler said, adding that the court seems willing to cut against the grain of public opinion.

“Child rape is a crime so heinous that I doubt they would worry about public condemnation of such a ruling,” he continued. “They did not worry about overruling Roe v. Wade even though the majority of Americans favor the right to abortion.”

Poll: Growing Number of Americans Worried about Rising Crime

(Glenn Minnis, The Center Square) Nearly six out of every 10 individuals say crime is at least somewhat a significant problem in their community, up from 53% just six months earlier. 

In addition, a new State Policy Network poll of 2,011 voters, conducted in partnership with Morning Consult between April 11-14, finds that 46% of respondents agree that crime in their town or city has been on the rise over the past 12 months, up from 42% who held such feelings in November 2022. 

Across the country, 74% say crime has increased over the past year, a six percentage point increase from five months earlier when 68% of respondents felt that way. 

“People are saying they personally see crime as a problem in their local community and numbers are even higher when you ask about the United States broadly,” SPN messaging strategist Erin Norman told The Center Square. “High profile media stories about shoplifting mobs and gun violence likely impact how Americans see crime in the nation as a whole.” 

When it comes to big cities, researchers found the view is even dimmer, with 63% saying they feel most large U.S. cities are no longer safe and even more respondents (64%) agreeing they see large retailers making the decision to leave cities due to crime as being reasonable. 

Norman agrees much of what you now see and hear seems to justify the apprehension about increased crime. 

“The most recent data shows that it’s not just perception – robbery and aggravated assault is up across major population centers,” she added. “People need to see cities and their police force taking steps to prevent crime and prosecute offenders. Walgreens recently announced they are closing five stores in San Francisco and Whole Foods closed their flagship store there as well. Starbucks closed a number of [Los Angeles] stores, citing crime and drugs as issues keeping the stores from becoming profitable. It appears companies aren’t moving their stores but making business decisions to close stores in areas where criminal activity has impacted profitability.” 

Walmart announced last week it is closing four stores in Chicago. 

With some 34% of survey respondents now expressing apprehension about going on vacation in a major city, 59% of individuals agree people in cities have become their own worst enemy by electing politicians who do not enforce existing laws. 

Overall, 84% of respondents agree most large cities across the country need to do more to prevent crime. 

A Dozen Biden Relatives Implicated in Foreign Business Schemes: Comer

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A least a dozen relatives of President Joe Biden are likely to be exposed for benefiting from foreign businesses tied to Biden, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said to Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” 

“There’s not going to be anybody left for a Christmas picture if the [Department of Justice] did their job and went in there and indicted everyone that has any type of fingerprints involved in this influence-peddling scheme,” Comer said, according to the New York Post. 

“I mean, it’s the entire family,” Comer continued, adding that “there isn’t a single one of those family members that had the ability to do anything to influence foreign policy other than the big guy, Joe Biden.” 

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee is still combing through bank records tied to the Biden family, Comer said. The records, Comer warned, have “suspicious activity reports” that directly implicate the first family into these foreign businesses. 

“Nearly three weeks later, we walk out of Treasury–having read, pored over thousands of pages of documents, and I can tell you that there were more suspicious activity reports that had been previously reported and many more Biden family members that were involved in the influence-peddling scheme,” Comer said to Bartiromo. 

House Republicans obtained access to the bank documents after an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department. 

“We’ve identified six additional members of Joe Biden’s family who may have benefited from the Biden family’s businesses that we are investigating, bringing the total number of those involved or benefiting to nine,” Comer said in a press statement on April 17. 

Comer’s comments come a few days after an IRS whistleblower alleged that the Biden administration had attempted to influence a criminal investigation into the president’s son, Hunter Biden. 

“Typical steps that a law enforcement investigator would take were compromised because of political considerations,” Mark Lytle, an attorney for the whistleblower said on Friday, refusing to confirm whether the information the whistleblower has is tied to Hunter Biden. 

Kamala Harris Credits Nonexistent Agency with Approving Mifepristone

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In an interview with Noticias Telemundo’s Vanessa Hauc, Vice President Kamala Harris claimed that a U.S. agency named “Federal Drug Administration” greenlighted mifepristone, an abortion pill, 20 years ago. However, no such agency exists.

“Let’s set the scene. Many months ago, the highest court in our land, the United States Supreme Court, took a constitutional right that had been recognized from the people of America – from the women of America – which is the right to make [a] decision about your own body and your own reproductive health,” Harris said. “The government should not be telling that woman what to do with her body. This evokes, in my mind, very fundamental rights, including the right to freedom for each individual about what is in their best interest.” 

Harris appears to refer to the Food and Drugs Administration, which approved the abortion pill in 2000, Fox News reported Sunday.

The discrepancy was first unveiled by a Republican National Committee Twitter account. “Kamala Harris refers to the ‘Federal Drug Administration,’ which does not exist,” RNC Research blasted on Twitter. 

The vice president’s mishap echos a similar barrage of lies and gaffes touted by her boss, President Joe Biden, including bogus claims that the Biden administration “funded 700,000 major construction projects” across America. That claim, however, is false as the democratic administration only funded 70,000 contractions in the U.S. 

In an infamous 2020 video, Joe Biden called himself “Joe Biden’s husband.” The endless list of Biden gaffers raised concerns among Democratic leaders about whether the president is fit to run for re-election in 2024.  

While Biden claimed he is planning on running, he has yet to announce an official re-election Bid. He faces primary challenges from embattled environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy, Netflix TV star and convicted felon Joe ‘Tiger King’ Exotic, social justice activist and former 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson. 

‘Communist’ AOC Wants Feds to Ban Tucker Carlson, Conservative Outlets

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In an interview with former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., demanded federal regulations to manipulate what Americans can watch on cable news. 

“I believe that when it comes to broadcast television like Fox News these are subject to federal law, federal regulation in terms of what’s allowed on air and what isn’t,” the self-proclaimed Democratic-socialist said on the show “Inside with Jen Psaki”. “When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence, very clearly incitement of violence and that is the line that I think we have to, be willing to contend with.” 

The congresswoman’s demands caused Twitter to be filled with reactions from conservative personalities.

Glenn Greenwald blasted AOC’s blatant authoritative demands. “The people who endlessly and shrilly insist they are fighting fascism constantly advocate: * A union of public power (CIA/FBI/DHS) and corporate power (Big Tech) to censor the internet; * The president ignore court orders; * Adversary media be banned,” he said. “Very odd anti-fascism.” 

The Babylon Bee, a satirical news platform owned by Seth Dillon, mocked AOC’s fascist-filled calls to regulate media. “AOC: ‘The Government Must Shut Don Unapproved News Agencies to Defeat Fascism.’” 

“AOC accuses Tucker Carlson and other Fox News hosts of ‘incitement of violence’ and says they shouldn’t be allowed on air,” conservative commentator Benny Johnson said. 

Jen Psaki, who offered no pushback to AOC’s anti-free speech talking points, was blasted by NewsBusters’ Kevin Tober. “On MSNBC, Jen Psaki allows AOC to lie about Tucker Carlson and other Fox News hosts by claiming they ‘incite violence.’” 

Regulating news and information is a tactic often used by authoritative regimes to suppress negative or dissenting news. Conservative commentator and former congressional candidate Robby Starbuck did not shy away from pointing out the similarities between the lawmaker’s demands to communist regimes.

“AOC just went full communist and Jen Psaki had no problem with it,” he said. “Believe them when they show you who they are. This is evil.”

CBP Seize 2 Murder Suspects, Latin King Member and $22M in Drugs

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Border patrol agents captured over $900,000 in methamphetamine, a previously deported gang member with an extensive criminal record and two individuals suspected of murder, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced last week. 

The Office of Field Operations at the Texas-based Hidalgo International Bridge captured $919,000 in presumable methamphetamine disguised as candy and other canned food by southern border drug traffickers, a Friday press release said.  

“These harmful narcotics will not make it to American streets thanks to our CBP officers who used their intuition and all our available tools and resources to stop this smuggling attempt,” said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez. 

An additional 31 pounds of fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine with a value of over $312,000 were captured by border agents based out of El Paso, Texas. The 31 pounds of illegal narcotics came from Mexico through a 20-year-old American citizen smuggler, CBP said Friday. 

The massive seizure marked a busy week for border agents who also captured a “lawless gang member,” who had been previously deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mexican national Heriberto Bustos-Bautista, a 26-year-old known member of the Latin Kings gruesome gang, had been convicted of aggravated battery and use of a deadly weapon, was apprehended and determined to be in the U.S. unlawfully on April 19, CBP said Wednesday. 

On a serape announcement, CBP said they apprehended two individuals suspected of murder out of Dallas, Texas, according to warrants issued by the Texas law enforcement. “Border Patrol Agents encounter a wide array of criminals in the course of their daily duties,” said El Centro Sector Chief Gregory Bovino. “In this case two suspects wanted for murder were taken off the streets and into custody – great job to our agents, nicely done!” 

The scathing announcements came days after CBP touted the capture of more than three million blue fentanyl pills also disguised as shipment of green beans at another entry facility, local media reported on April 18. 

Republican members of Congress are pushing to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who oversees CBP, over what they’ve labeled as incompetence. 

“Ever since Biden took office… There have been over 4 million illegal alien apprehensions at our US-Mexican border and at least 1.2 million KNOWN got-a-ways,” Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., said on Twitter. “We must impeach Biden’s Border Sec. Mayorkas.” 

In a March 6 Tweet, accused Mayorkas of having blood on his hands. “It’s time to IMPEACH Biden’s Border Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas NOW!,” he said. “There is blood on the hands of Biden and Mayorkas.”
