Rising GOP Star Assassinated Outside N.J. Apartment

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A Republican councilwoman in Sayreville, New Jersey, Eunice Dwumfour, was found dead Wednesday in her SUV outside of her home, the Daily Mail reported.

Dwumfor, a rising star in local politics, seemed to have been specifically targeted by the killer, per local police reports.

She was shot several times and proceeded to crash her car soon thereafter. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

A witness told police that the assailant fired a volley of bullets at Dwumfor, then drove off quickly away from the Camelot at La Mer apartment complex.

The Sayreville Police and officials from Middlesex County are investigating the affair. No arrest has been made so far, and no suspects have been detained.

Pastor Nelia Rodriguez, a friend of Dwumfor who worked with her on the local Human Relation Commission, paid tribute on Facebook, saying saying that she had just seen the young mother at the store that morning.

“I remember saying to her I’ll see you at the HRC meeting tomorrow not knowing tonight was going to be the end of her life,” Rodriguez wrote. “I can’t stop crying. She was 30 years young and full of life. You will be missed my dear, precious friend.”

Dwumfor had defeated an incumbent Democrat in a 2021 Sayreville City Council race and was up for re-election campaign in 2024.

“The community is shocked and saddened at the loss of Eunice Dwumfour, who was a dedicated member of our Borough Council who was truly committed to serve all of our residents,” said Sayreville Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick in a statement. “The fact that she was taken from us by a despicable criminal act makes this incident all the more horrifying.”

Yale Student Gov’t Tells Fellow Students to ‘Celebrate Black Joy’

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Yale University’s undergraduate college council sent out an email to all students on Wednesday to commemorate the first day of Black History Month and offer recommendations for how students can better “celebrate black joy” in this reverent time.

Yale Student Body President Leleda Baraki, who is black, introduced the concept by saying she considered putting her Venmo handle in the email, but changed her mind because it “might be a little unethical.”

Instead of having her classmates send her money, she went on to recommend other ways white students might help black students better celebrate the occasion, none of which appeared to be tied with black history.

Although couched in a layer of apparent tongue-in-cheek irony, the demands did not seem out of step with other privileges that black supremacists have asserted under the pretense of overcoming “systemic racism,” as espoused by Critical Race Theory.

“When dining hall lines are long, politely step out of the way and let black people pass you,” Baraki wrote. “If there’s a puddle on the sidewalk, gently slide your coat off and lay it on the ground so your black friends can walk with ease.”

Baraki also attached a list of more than 30 black-owned businesses in the area for students to patronize throughout February.

Yale has made the news several times for its excessive wokeness, most recently announcing a reparations plan that would pay for black students’ education at Historically Black Colleges and Universities instead of in the Ivy League school.

Brett Hoover, a spokesperson for Yale’s New Haven Promise, which will grant the scholarships, said students of all races in New Haven can apply.

“Over the last 10 years, nearly 500 city students have expressed interest in attending a Historically Black College or University,” Brett Hoover said. “It was the right time to make such an opportunity to allow students’ dreams [to] become a reality.”

A petition for “inclusive healthcare” also circulated throughout the campus, which advocated for the provision of free abortifacient pills, pregnancy tests and medications for possible HIV exposure at the Yale Health Center Pharmacy.

Biden Boasts that More than Half the ‘Women’ in His Admin. Are Women

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In yet another in a long train of gaffes, President Joe Biden proudly declared that more than half of the women in his administration are indeed women, Summit News reported.

Biden’s latest gaffe came as he welcomed former President Bill Clinton back to the White House, which Biden insisted on calling “Congress,” to commemorate the signing of the Family and Medical Leave Act three decades ago.

“I’m so happy to be able to welcome my president [Bill Clinton] back to the United States Congress,” Biden said. “Back to the United States Capitol, and he’s promised me that I’ll be able to sit at my desk tomorrow.”

The befuddled Biden then attempted to boast to hisfellow predator-in-chief that the majority of his top advisers—13 of 25—were female.

However, the laborious word-salad instead seemed to reinforce recent efforts by the Left to blur the lines between male and female.

“More than half the women of my Cabinet—-more than half the people of my Cabinet—more than half the women in my administration are women,” Biden told the audience.

The president was grilled on Twitter for the stupidity of his claim, as noted by Twitchy.

Some pointed out the transgenders he has on staff, including Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine.

Another gender-fluid official, Energy Department Deputy Assistant Secretary Sam Brinton, was fired following at least two separate incidents of stealing women’s luggage from airports.

One of Bill Clinton’s former alleged rape victims, Juanita Broaddrick, even chimed in to mock the pompous ceremony.

Appropriately, given Clinton’s presence—as well as his own questionable history of sexual assault—Biden later began to drone on about sexual assault.

“Dating violence, sexual assault … it matters, it matters a lot,” said Biden, who weathered his own credible rape accusation from former staffer Tara Reade during the 2020 campaign.

Vice President Kamala Harris also joined in the speech-making, delivering one of her characteristic middle-school-style speeches to welcome the infamous Epstein island visitor Clinton.

“It is my great honor to introduce a leader who had a vision 30 years ago that has benefited generations of American families,” said Harris, who successfully slept her way to the top, between gleeful cackles. “Realizing that vision was one of his central promises when he ran for President in 1992.”

Congress Launches Probe of John Kerry’s Relationship w/ China

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) House Republicans announced that they will be launching an investigation into supposed climate czar John Kerry’s actual role in the government—particularly his mysterious relationship with China.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., sent Kerry a letter requesting information, documents and any description or indication of what his work entails as the so-called Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, according to the Daily Wire.

“The Committee requests documents and information to understand your role and provide necessary transparency over the SPEC and its activities,” he wrote.

“As a member of the President’s cabinet, you should be representing the United States’ interests,” he continued. “Your statements, however, consistently show disregard for American national security and taxpayer dollars.”

Kerry’s current position allows him to travel all over the globe in his private jet and opine about rising oceans, electric vehicles and the nutritional benefits of crickets.

The position did not require the approval of the Senate, though the position is technically under the authority of the State Department.

President Joe Biden approved $13.9 million annual budget—funded by taxpayers—for the SPEC office, which can accommodate a staff of up to 45 people. He also has a spot in the president’s cabinet and the National Security Council.

In his letter, Comer stated that Kerry has ignored previous attempts to get answers about his shady position.

“We are left with an insufficient understanding of your office’s activities, spending, and staffing,” he wrote.

Comer is especially keen to understand his relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.

Despite their numerous crimes against their population, Kerry has disregarded China’s human rights violations, claiming climate change is a higher priority.

“Yes we have issues, a number of different issues, but first and foremost, this planet must be protected,” Kerry said after being asked about the problem in September 2021.

For its part, China has not really entertained any form of diplomacy with Kerry, cutting off communication and ramping up coal production.

Biden appointed Kerry—his longtime senate colleague and Obama secretary of State—as envoy shortly after he took office. Notably, Biden’s son Hunter was a business partner with Kerry’s stepson, Chris Heinz, in the equity firm Rosemont Seneca, which brokered several business deals with the Chinese government.

CNN’s Don Lemon Reportedly Abusive to Female Cohost on New Morning Show

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Rumors are swirling that the recently demoted CNN host Don Lemon is suffering a total breakdown, screaming at his coworkers as his life spirals downward, the New York Post reported.

Lemon, who was moved last year to CNN This Morning as part of a shakeup to soften the network’s image as a hard-left propaganda outlet, has allegedly screamed at one of his new cohosts, Kaitlan Collins, leaving the cast and crew in shambles.

Per several insider sources, the seasoned veteran approached the relatively new Collins after a show in early December to berate her publicly for interrupting him during the broadcast.

“Don screamed at Kaitlan, who was visibly upset and ran out of the studio,” one source with knowledge of the rift told the New York Post.

Another source noted that Collins now avoids Lemon as much as she can.

“At this point, Kaitlan wants to be on set with Don as little as possible,” the source said. “It’s messy.”

The blow-up, however, may be an outward sign of a deeper rift that has been palpable at times on air.

Specifically, Lemon got into it with both Collins and the other co-host, Poppy Harlow, last year regarding equal pay for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer team.

“I know everyone’s gonna hate me,” Lemon began. “But the men’s team makes more money. If they make more money, then they should get more money. The men’s team makes more money because people are more interested in the men!”

Harlow and Collins grew hysterical upon hearing Lemon’s comment.

“Until big media companies, Big Tech companies, advertisers, invest and put them on their airwaves more and allow people to see it more and gain more fans,” Harlow argued. “Then you will push towards more equality. But if they are blocked in so many ways and not invested in as much, they don’t even have a chance.”

“I’m not sexist,” Lemon declared in response, offering up a shockingly sensible opinion.

“When I go to a sports bar—guys am I wrong? You guys don’t want to say anything,” Lemon added after quickly realizing he was on an island. “When I go to a sports bar, if there’s a women’s basketball game on … people will say, ‘can you flip it to the guys?’ I don’t want to watch this … you can not make people become interested in something they’re not interested in.”

Rumors have also emerged from CNN that Lemon has been instructed not to talk so much on the show, with producers insisting that he allow others to speak more often.

AP Moves to Cancel Punxsutawney Phil over Unfavorable Forecast

Editor’s note: In its latest piece supporting the pernicious spread of far-left cancel culture, the Associated Press suggested that iconic Pennsylvania groundhog Punxsutawney Phil lose his place of honor after returning to his burrow and sealing the fate of another six weeks of winter.

Instead, the news outlets suggested that people seek out other options who offered a more favorable forecast on Thursday:

(Headline USA) Rodents predicting weather trends. Why?

Just as fair a Groundhog Day question, though, is this: Why not? And more importantly, why should Punxsutawney Phil always get to, well, hog the press?

The spring-heralding (or spring-delaying) small animal has taken firm root in some swaths of American culture.

And while Phil and his Pennsylvania ilk are the most celebrated, there is an astonishingly broad selection of other critters who have felt the need (or, at least, their handlers have) to put reputations on the line to “predict” meteorology in the dead of winter. Here we offer just a few.

Before we take a look, pause for a moment to remember one particular groundhog of yore—Charlotte, a stand-in for Staten Island Chuck in 2014. She predicted six more weeks before being famously dropped by then-New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio and dying a week later.

Do take aboard a disclaimer, though. This is merely a smattering of groundhoggery, offered up in no particular order.

Please don’t be offended if your animal isn’t included. Maybe next year.

  • JIMMY THE GROUNDHOG, Wisconsin: Caused controversy in 2015 after biting the mayor of Sun Prairie on the ear.
  • MILLTOWN MEL, New Jersey: Event got caught up in problems with state law this year after the previous prognosticator expired.
  • WOODY THE WOODCHUCK, Michigan: Emerged from a tiny green door in a small, human-made tree stump on Thursday.
  • WOODSTOCK WILLIE, Illinois. Saw his shadow Thursday. Site of where the best-ever PR around the day—the 1993 movie “Groundhog Day”—was filmed.
  • OCTORARO ORPHIE, Pennsylvania: Predicts from a home base in Quarryville in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Because of Pennsylvania Dutch folklore, which helped give birth to the Groundhog Day tradition, that region has several on the job, including Mount Joy Minnie and Dover Doug.
  • STATEN ISLAND CHUCK, New York: Longtime predictor in the New York City borough. This year, the current mayor didn’t attend.
  • BUCKEYE CHUCK, Ohio: Another Chuck, this one further inland. This year, according to reports, the Chuck used publicly was a stuffed one after an animal-rights group objected to how a live one had been treated.
  • GEN. BEAUREGARD LEE, Georgia: Claims high accuracy rate. Contradicted Phil this year.

Dr. Robert Malone: Latest Pfizer Revelations about Vax Dangers are ‘Stunning’ w/ ‘Profound Implications’

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) A research and development executive from Pfizer spilled more disturbing insider information about the Big Pharma titan’s vaccine program, in another blockbuster undercover video from Project Veritas.

Jordon Trishton Walker, director of research and development with strategic operations and mRNA scientific planning for Pfizer, shared his concerns with an undercover reporter about the COVID vaccine and its potential harmful effects on women’s reproductive health.

“There is something irregular about the menstrual cycles. So, people will have to investigate that down the line, because that is a little concerning,” Walker said. “The [COVID] vaccine shouldn’t be interfering with that [menstrual cycles]. So, we don’t really know.”

Walker, as he did previously in another release of the interview, implored that the information he shared be kept under wraps for fear of potential disaster down the line.

“I hope we don’t find out that somehow this mRNA lingers in the body and like — because it has to be affecting something hormonal to impact menstrual cycles,” he said.

“I hope we don’t discover something really bad down the line…If something were to happen downstream and it was, like, really bad? I mean, the scale of that scandal would be enormous,” Walker said. “Yeah, or the entire next generation’s super fu**ed up. Could you imagine the scandal? Oh, my God, I would take Pfizer off my resume.”

Walker also shared that Pfizer is moving beyond COVID and actively looking for the next cash cow for mRNA and vaccine development, including what he described as “gene-editing.”

“Now we’re basically, like, focusing on mRNA beyond COVID,” Walker said of Pfizer’s horizons. “There’s a whole list of things we’re developing for.”

Asked about Pfizer’s development with “the whole virus mutation process,” Walker explained the company is conducting experiments, “but it seems like from what I’ve heard they are optimizing it, but it is very slow because everyone’s very cautious.”

“Because, you obviously don’t want to advertise that you are figuring out future mutations,” Walker said.

Biochemist and leading mRNA researcher Dr. Robert Malone expressed dire alarm over the latest Pfizer revelations.

“With today’s disclosure from the undercover investigations, we now learn more about current vaccine reproductive risk findings, Pfizer’s lack of comprehension of the basis for those risks, and (according to Dr. Walker) Pfizer’s leading hypothesis concerning the patho-physiologic basis for those risks,” Malone wrote at his substack, concluding that “the implications are stunning and broad ranging” and blasting Pfizer for failing to “fully comprehend those implications.”

Pfizer is actively developing the mRNA delivery technology for the purpose of developing gene editing-based medicines,” Malone wrote, noting that Walker again confirmed “that Pfizer is engaged in ongoing gain of function research with SARS-CoV-2.”

“The implications of all of this are profound. The next key questions are what does Pfizer know, when did they know it, did they disclose what they know to the FDA, EMA, and other global regulatory agencies, when did they make disclosures, and why has the general public not been informed of these risks?” Malone wrote. “Inquiring minds want to know, and the world deserves answers.”

Biden Blusters Weak Response to Chinese Spy Balloon Caught Over U.S. Nuke Missile Silos

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) National security insiders and House Republicans ripped the Biden administration Thursday for its tepid response to what they called a national security threat, after reports that a suspected spy balloon likely launched by China’s communist government was spotted this week hovering over Montana, the home of America’s three nuclear missile silo fields.

“China’s brazen disregard for U.S. sovereignty is a destabilizing action that must be addressed, and President Biden cannot be silent,” said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. “I am requesting a Gang of Eight briefing.”

The so-called Gang of Eight are members of Congress who can be briefed on classified intelligence and national security issues, to include the leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. Excluded from that group would be recently-booted Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., but it does include a bipartisan mix of McCarthy and Republicans Rep. Mike Turner and Sens. Marco Rubio, Mark Warner and Mitch McConnell and Democrat Reps. Hakeen Jeffries and Jim Hines.

Despite fighter jets being deployed to the region in response to the sightings, which had reportedly been ongoing for days across a wide range of U.S. territory, the Biden administration failed to notify Congress and the regime’s Defense Department recommended against taking “kinetic action” because of the allegedly possible dangers from falling debris in the wide open western plains.

Biden had reportedly been briefed on the developments and senior administration officials have been in “urgent” contact with Chinese officials.

Republican lawmakers were far from satisfied, with Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton calling for Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken to cancel a planned meeting with Chinese henchman Xi Jinping until Biden had provided satisfactory answers about “why he has not secured U.S. airspace.”

The presence of a Chinese spy balloon hovering over the country’s heartland comes after a Russian spy ship was caught last month patrolling off the coast of Hawaii.

“I can’t speak to why the Russians are sailing the ship right now, it’s kind of precarious timing,” Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said at the time. 

The Biden administration’s inadequate response to the latest overt foreign spy mission drew a strong rebuke from Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., who called Biden “a feckless commander in chief.”

“Communist China hypocritically lectures the U.S. about respect for sovereignty & territorial integrity,” tweeted Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn. “If it’s true that China is behind this loitering high-altitude provocation over our homeland, the Biden Admin must respond strongly & decisively.”

Biden wasn’t alone receiving criticism for his tepid response to Chinese spying, with questions and concerns being raised about why Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn’t provide the U.S. with an advanced alert after the balloon reportedly was detected over Canada.

“What’s up with Trudeau? Is he spaced out?” asked Fox News host Jesse Watters. “He didn’t give us a little warning that the Chinese were flying spy balloons across his territory?”

Lt. Col. Danny Davis was equally surprised and concerned.

“A little surprised by that too,” he said. “I hope it’s that they did, and that wasn’t reported, as opposed to them not knowing or saying anything.”

Davis also ripped the Biden administration for its floundering response and dismissed the dissembling that officials provided for not taking action.

“If we were worried about any ground clutter, we could’ve tracked it and cleared the ground there and knocked it down, if we wanted to,” Davis said. “I probably would have popped it.”

Chris Wallace Plummets to Record Low Ratings at CNN

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) It doesn’t matter who Chris Wallace is talking to, viewers aren’t interested.

The former Fox News anchor’s show at CNN, Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?, averaged a measly 365,00 viewers in January, the worst ratings-month since it debuted last spring after CNN scuttled its disastrous streaming platform, CNN+, which collapsed less than two months after its launch.

A closer look at the numbers reveals even worse news for Wallace. Only 48,000 of the record low viewers were in the coveted 25- to 54-year-old demographic, according to Nielsen data.

By comparison, Fox News’s Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy averaged more than 1 million viewers in January, with more than double the number of key demographic viewers.

On Sunday, the Wallace show’s last airing of January, his viewership average dropped to 323,000 overall and 38,000 in the 25-54 demographic. Wallace’s ratings were trounced not only by other news shows, but by the likes of The Legend of Bigfoot, Girl Meets Farm and Sewer Divers.

Advice and career guidance for Wallace from the Twitterverse was brutal.

“Go woke, go home,” advised Josh Barnett, while Shawn Thompson qualified, “Short of time travel? No.”

CNN viewership numbers were equally dismal during the morning hours with recently demoted Don Lemon’s show, co-hosted with Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, crashing to its lowest ratings since its launch. The show averaged only 331,000 viewers, while rivals Fox & Friends had nearly 1 million and Morning Joe drew 760,000.

CNN’s ratings woes weren’t limited to Wallace and Lemon. For the first time since 2014, CNN failed to attract at least 450,000 primetime viewers and slid to only 93,000 in the critically important 25-54 age demographic and 417,000 viewers for total day viewers with 80,000 in the demo.

By comparison, Fox News logged 1.4 million viewers and 176,000 in the demo and MSNBC had 943,000 viewers and 91,000 in the demo.

The trend of disappointment continued for CNN in primetime, where compared to the networks nearly decade-long low viewership, Fox News logged 2 million viewers, 256,000 in the demo, and MSNBC had 943,000 viewers and 91,000 in the demo.

DOJ Gagged National Archives from Speaking on Biden Classified Docs: Rep. Comer

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Department of Justice has told National Archives officials to not speak publicly about President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents from when he was vice president, according to Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

Comer revealed this Wednesday to Fox News broadcaster Sean Hannity, following a closed interview his committee conducted with National Archives general counsel Gary Stern. The committee has yet to release a transcription of the interview, but Comer recounted some of what was said to Hannity.

Comer said that shortly before the interview started, his committee received a letter from the DOJ stating that Stern wasn’t allowed to speak about the Biden classified documents.

“But we went ahead, and we had about a three plus hour transcribed interview with the general counsel and what we learned was there is a double standard here with how President Trump was treated vs. Joe Biden,” Comer said.

“I’ll give you an example, Sean. If you go on the National Archives website, there’s pages and pages of press releases and information about the FBI’s raid into Mar-a-Lago and Donald Trump’s possession of classified documents, but there’s nothing on the website about Joe Biden,” he added.

Comer said he asked Stern why the National Archives hasn’t issued statements about the Biden docs, and Stern said he was ordered to remain silent. When asked who ordered him to stay quiet,  Stern allegedly replied, “I can’t tell you that,” according to Comer.

“There are only two people who could have given him those orders, and that is either the Department of Justice with Merrick Garland or the White House with Joe Biden,” Comer told Hannity.

The House oversight chairman suggested that the suppression of information about Biden’s classified documents could have been intended to influence the midterm elections last November.

“We wouldn’t even know about the fact that Joe Biden had classified documents in his possession were it not for a leak to CBS news. We would never have heard it from this White House,” he said. “They would have covered it up forever like all the other cover-ups they’re doing with every major part of our investigation into the Biden family influence peddling.”
