Month: April 2024

81-year-old Joe Biden returned to the White House Friday afternoon following a trip to New York.

A giant entourage of aides and staffers trailed behind Biden as he shuffled across the South Lawn amid reports he can no longer walk solo.

The White House introduced a ‘special routine’ for when Joe Biden departs and returns to the White House on Marine One.

According to a report from Axios, Biden’s advisors are concerned that his stiffened gait is highlighting his old age and feeble state.

Joe Biden on Friday morning called into “The Howard Stern Show” in an unannounced appearance on the far-left shock jock’s SiriusXM show.

Biden’s interview with Howard Stern was a total dumpster fire.

Joe Biden told Howard Stern he “got arrested standing on a porch with a black family” during the civil rights movement.

He claimed “women would send very salacious pictures” to him when he was a US Senator in the 1970s.

“I got put in the 10 most eligible bachelor’s list – Biden said. (Crosstalk) “Because you were a United States Senator?” Howard Stern asked Biden.

Biden continued, “A lot of lovely women – women would send very salacious pictures and I’d just give them to the Secret Service.”

US Senators do not have Secret Service protection!

Joe Biden also told Howard Stern he saved 6 people from drowning when he was a lifeguard back in the day.

“You ever save anyone’s life when you were a lifeguard?” Howard Stern asked Biden.

“Yeah, half a dozen times,” Biden said.

This is, of course, a lie.

Justice Alito DESTROYS Prosecutor With ONE Simple Question.. | Beyond the Headlines

In the ongoing Trump Presidential immunity case, important questions that could determine the future of the presidency and the extent of their powers have been asked – among one of those was a question that cuts to the core of the whole issue. What was this incisive question posed by Justice Alito today?

Trump responded in Trump style on Truth Social Friday afternoon, “Crooked Joe Biden just announced that he’s willing to debate! Everyone knows he doesn’t really mean it, but in case he does, I say, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters. I suggest Monday Evening, Tuesday Evening, or Wednesday Evening at my Rally in Michigan, a State that he is in the process of destroying with his E.V. Mandate. In the alternative, he’s in New York City today, although probably doesn’t know it, and so am I, stuck in one of the many Court cases that he instigated as ELECTION INTERFERENCE AGAINST A POLITICAL OPPONENT – A CONTINUING WITCH HUNT! It’s the only way he thinks he can win. In fact, let’s do the Debate at the Courthouse tonight – on National Television, I’ll wait around!”

The Commission on Presidential Debates, the bipartisan body that has overseen presidential debates since 1988, announced the schedule for the 2024 debates last November.

First presidential debate:
Monday, September 16, 2024
Texas State University, San Marcos, TX

Vice presidential debate:
Wednesday, September 25, 2024
Lafayette College, Easton, PA

Second presidential debate:
Tuesday, October 1, 2024
Virginia State University, Petersburg, VA

Third presidential debate:
Wednesday, October 9, 2024
The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT

Trump is pushing for more and earlier debates as ‘early voting’ starts in some states before the first debate. The Trump campaign sent a letter to the debate commission on April 11:

Dear Members of the Commission:

We write today in agreement with the pending letter from television networks advocating for presidential debates to occur in 2024.

While the Commission on Presidential Debates has already announced three presidential debates and a vice-presidential debate to occur later this year, we are in favor of these debates beginning much earlier.

Here’s why:

1) Voting is beginning earlier and earlier, and as we saw in 2020, tens of millions of Americans had already voted by the time of the first debate. Specific to the Commission’s proposed 2024 calendar, it simply comes too late. Below are the estimates for how many Americans will have already voted by the date of each scheduled debate:

a. By the date of the first proposed debate, September 16, 2024, over 1 million Americans will have likely voted.
b. By the date of the second proposed debate, October 1, 2024, the number of Americans who will have likely cast a ballot will be over 3 million, an increase of 225%.
c. By the date of the third proposed debate, October 9, 2024, or 35 days out from election day, approximately 8.7 million Americans will have already voted.

2) Americans were robbed of a true and robust debate in 2020. There were only two debates, and they happened much too late in the election calendar despite voting timelines having moved up exponentially.

In 2020, the Commission ceded to the wishes of the Biden campaign on every front, refusing to move up the dates of the debates, failing to reschedule the debate canceled by COVID-19, cutting off President Trump’s microphone over and over in the middle of a debate, and in the
case of the first debate, selecting a demonstrably anti-Trump moderator clearly positioned to aid Joe Biden. Fairness in such a setting is paramount and the Commission must ensure that the 2024 Commission-sponsored debates are truly fair and conducted impartially.

The Commission must move up the timetable of its proposed 2024 debates to ensure more Americans have a full chance to see the candidates before they start voting, and we would argue for adding more debates in addition to those on the currently proposed schedule. We have
already indicated President Trump is willing to debate anytime, anyplace, and anywhere – and the time to start these debates is now.

Former President Abraham Lincoln and former U.S. Senator Stephen A. Douglas held seven debates in their storied 1858 U.S. Senate battle in Illinois. Certainly today’s America deserves as much.

Sincerely,
Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita

As the push for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) continues to permeate through every aspect of society, the recent revelation of a Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris has raised concerns from a conservative standpoint.

The news of the agent’s past tweets expressing support for former President Donald Trump and criticism of the Democratic party has sparked outrage and accusations of DEI failure within the Secret Service. But is it truly a failure, or a strategic move to appear inclusive while still maintaining traditional conservative values?

Some may argue that the selection of this particular agent was a calculated decision to appease the calls for diversity, while also ensuring the Vice President’s safety. However, from a conservative perspective, this raises questions about the true intentions behind DEI initiatives and the potential consequences of prioritizing diversity over competence.

While diversity is undoubtedly important, it should not come at the cost of jeopardizing the safety and security of our leaders. The role of a Secret Service agent is a crucial one, and any political leanings, whether conservative or liberal, should not be a determining factor in their selection.

More of that DEI hiring that we know works so well pic.twitter.com/RGdAYNbtbY

— Suhr Majesty (@ULTRA_MAJESTY) April 25, 2024

Moreover, the fact that this agent’s past tweets were deemed “controversial” simply for expressing support for a former president further highlights the deep-rooted bias within DEI initiatives. The idea of promoting diversity while simultaneously silencing conservative voices is a concerning double standard that goes against the very principles of inclusivity.

This situation also brings to light the potential dangers of implementing DEI without proper consideration and evaluation. Blindly pushing for diversity quotas can lead to the hiring of individuals who may not be qualified or fit for the job, ultimately putting the safety of our leaders at risk.

In addition, the scrutiny and backlash faced by this agent for their political beliefs highlights the toxic culture of cancel culture that has infiltrated our society. It is alarming to see how quickly one can be judged and condemned for their personal beliefs, without consideration of their qualifications or abilities.

Furthermore, this controversy serves as a reminder that true diversity goes beyond superficial factors such as race, gender, or political affiliation. It is about embracing a diversity of thoughts, opinions, and perspectives. By silencing or excluding conservative voices, we are not achieving true diversity, but rather promoting a narrow-minded and biased view.

In the end, the selection of a Secret Service agent with a conservative background should not be a cause for outrage or concern. Rather, it should be a reminder that true DEI involves inclusivity and fairness for all, regardless of political beliefs. The focus should be on competence, not political affiliation, when it comes to ensuring the safety and security of our leaders. It’s time to re-evaluate the true intentions and impact of DEI initiatives and work towards a more inclusive and balanced approach.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) on Wednesday sent a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) requesting an investigation into Congressional Democrats’ history of “pressuring private companies to shut down the speech of those with different ideologies than theirs.”

According to Burchett, “In 2021, Congressional Democrats sent official letters to numerous private television companies urging them to take retaliatory action against certain ‘right wing’ media outlets like Newsmax, Fox News, and OAN.”

This led several cable companies to cancel contracts with One America News Network (OANN).

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported in January 2022, Joe Biden and the Democrats ordered the far left Tech Giants and media outlets to banish voices that deviated from the regime’s official narrative. DirecTV then notified OANN that “following a routine internal review,” they would not renew the contract to carry the channel.

President Trump later suggested during a rally in Florence, Arizona, that supporters should boycott woke DirecTV and AT&T, which owns 70% of the cable TV service, for bowing down to their Leftist overlords.

President Trump Responds To DirecTV Canceling OANN: “Maybe What We Should Do Is NOT Use AT&T” (VIDEO)

DirecTV later announced they were deplatforming NewsMax in January 2023 but reached an agreement with the company and returned the channel to their platform on March 23, 2023.

Leftist Verizon also dropped OANN later in 2022, claiming the negotiations with OANN were typical and usual and that OAN did not agree to “fair terms.” However, OAN disagreed. The pro-Trump MAGA channel hosts told a different story, insisting NOTHING was typical about the negotiations, and Verizon did not even attempt to negotiate a contract.

“The idea of large, publicly traded companies taking retaliatory action against conservative outlets is concerning. Even more troubling, however, is the continued effort by Congressional Democrats to violate Americans’ constitutionally protected rights. That is why I respectfully request an investigation and hearing on the continued censorship of conservative news media outlets,” Burchett states in his letter before urging the House Republican Majority to stop letting Democrats “deny our constituents access to information.”

Congress must also investigate attempts by the federal government, including the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and the Biden Regime’s army of government agencies, for their continued censorship of conservative media outlets like The Gateway Pundit and One America News Network on social media.

Rep. Tim Burchett announced his letter to the House Oversight Committee on X earlier this week:

Members of Congress are supposed to protect Americans’ constitutional rights, not repress them. If Democrats are contacting private companies to shut down the folks at

Read the full letter from Rep. Tim Burchett below:

Dear Chairman Comer and Ranking Member Raskin:

Thank you for your commitment to improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of the federal government and its agencies. I write to inform the Committee on Oversight and Accountability of my concerns over the apparent censorship and cancellation of One America News Network (OAN).

It has come to my attention that in 2021, Congressional Democrats sent official letters to numerous private television companies urging them to take retaliatory action against certain “right wing” media outlets like Newsmax, Fox News, and OAN. Then, in 2022, DirectTV, Verizon Fios, and Frontier all declined to renew their contracts with OAN. The timing of these events is cause for concern, as members of Congress have no business pressuring private companies to shut down the speech of those with different ideologies than theirs.

The idea of large, publicly traded companies taking retaliatory action against conservative outlets is concerning. Even more troubling, however, is the continued effort by Congressional Democrats to violate Americans’ constitutionally protected rights. That is why I respectfully request an investigation and hearing on the continued censorship of conservative news media outlets.

The Republican House majority cannot and should not stand idly by as Democrats deny our constituents access to information. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important matter.

Sincerely

Tim Burchett,
Member of Congress

In today’s political climate, it’s no secret that wealthy individuals often use their money to sway public opinion and push their own agendas. One such figure who has been accused of doing just that is George Soros, a billionaire businessman and liberal activist.

From funding political campaigns to backing various social causes, Soros has been known to use his deep pockets to influence the narrative in his favor. However, a recent revelation has shed light on just how far his reach extends – paying left-wing activists to incite chaos on college campuses.

BREAKING NEWS: George Soros is paying left-wing activists to head up camp outs at colleges across America – as huge wads of cash they’re getting are shared.

— Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narratives (@dom_lucre) April 26, 2024

It’s a disturbing reality that many may not be aware of, but according to recent reports, Soros has been funneling money into the pockets of left-wing activists to create chaos and disrupt the peace on college campuses. The agenda behind this is clear – to promote a liberal narrative and silence any opposing views. And it seems to be working, as protests and demonstrations have become a common occurrence on college campuses across the country.

But what exactly is the motive behind Soros’s actions? It’s no secret that he has been a vocal supporter of liberal causes and candidates, often pouring millions of dollars into their campaigns. And now, it seems that he is taking it a step further by using his money to manipulate and control the narrative on college campuses. This not only raises questions about the authenticity of these protests, but also about the true intentions of Soros and his associates.

So when do we have the conversation about George Soros funding protests in our country every election season?

With reports of Soros-backed organizations paying activists up to $15 an hour to take part in protests, it’s clear that money talks – even in the world of activism. This raises concerns about the authenticity of these protests, as it seems that they are being orchestrated and controlled by outside forces rather than genuine grassroots movements. And while it’s one thing to peacefully protest and voice one’s opinions, it’s quite another to be paid to do so.

Furthermore, the fact that these protests are taking place on college campuses is concerning in itself. These institutions are meant to be a place for open-mindedness and free thinking, where diverse opinions and beliefs are welcomed and respected. Yet, with Soros’s manipulation, these campuses have become breeding grounds for one-sided, liberal views, stifling any diversity of thought.

It’s time for the truth to be exposed – that George Soros’s actions are not about promoting democracy or free speech, but about pushing his own agenda and silencing any opposing voices. And the fact that he is targeting college campuses, where young minds are easily influenced, is even more alarming. It’s a dangerous game he’s playing, and it’s time for the public to be made aware of his manipulative tactics.

In conclusion, the revelation of Soros’s funding of left-wing activists to incite chaos on college campuses is a disturbing reality that needs to be brought to light. It’s a clear example of how money can be used to control and manipulate public opinion, and the fact that it is happening on our college campuses should be a cause for concern. It’s time to question the authenticity of these protests and demand transparency from those behind them. Because at the end of the day, the truth should not be bought or sold – it should be a right for all.

Between rising food prices, draught-driven shortages, increasing demand, and an obsessive effort by governments and globalist entities to eliminate real meat from our diets, beef is poised to be extremely valuable in the years and even months to come.

Of particular value will be shelf-stable beef. Whether it’s canned, dehydrated, or freeze-dried, having beef that is still safe and nutritious for years is piquing the interests of people across the country. It isn’t just the “doomsday preppers” who are concerned. The last three years have caused tremendous anxiety to be felt by Americans, and for very logical reasons.

When Prepper All Naturals launched, their initial focus was on chicken. They always knew beef would be part of their future but at the time it was chicken that was noticeably under attack. That changed very quickly in the beginning of 2023 when “theoretical” discussions of replacing beef with lab-grown “meat” or bugs began manifesting ubiquitously in the real world.

The powers-that-be stopped talking about lab-grown “meat” as “the future” and started referring to it as a “current initiative.”

Unfortunately, this is not something that we can easily prevent. Politicians like NYC Mayor Eric Adams are already threatening limits or even complete bans on beef. State, local, and foreign governments are imposing draconian regulations on beef providers as well as the processing plants that service them. An insider at the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association warned us privately that costs are going to start shooting up across the board.

The war on meat is happening even if most Americans have no idea. Of course, corporate media won’t be allowed to report on it until it’s too late.

The “Whole Cows” product line for Prepper All Naturals is the only freeze-dried beef product in America that doesn’t try to push “beef crumbles” or low-quality “beef chunks” onto consumers. They offer sous vide, freeze-dried Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and their “Original Steak” product that is made up of Sirloin, Chuck, and other semi-premium cuts. Even their lowest priced item is far superior to everything else in the market.

Click here to see all that Prepper All Naturals has to offer.

“Anyone who’s ever tried to eat freeze-dried ‘beef crumbles’ will never buy a bag of it again,” said Jason Nelson, co-founder of Prepper All Naturals. “The low-quality parts of our cattle are sold to wholesalers after slaughter. We only offer the good stuff to our customers.”

Since beef is the only ingredient in a bag of Sous Vide Beef Cubes, they remain shelf-stable for long-term storage for at least a decade. The USDA says cooked beef in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers can last 25-years or longer. This is one of the reasons freeze-dried beef is so much more valuable than canned or dehydrated beef that last for 1-3 years.

Another reason is the nutritional retention. Each bag has 12 adult-sized servings with over 20 grams of protein. Freeze-drying is the only food longevity process for beef that allows it to retain full nutritional values for over a decade.

Last but not least, the push to inject cattle with mRNA vaccines is ongoing. Just as they did with pork, it seems inevitable that beef will be tainted by near-future mandates. Nelson has vowed to never sell beef that has had mRNA vaccines once they begin rolling out.

“We had a customer last month who purchased hundreds of bags in a one-week period,” Nelson said. “We contact him and learned that he plans on feeding his family but also believes these bags will be tremendous for barter should there be a major change in society.”

If there is such a societal collapse, long-term storage beef will be extremely valuable. But one does not have to wait for the apocalypse to appreciate having high-quality beef on hand if prices start skyrocketing this year or next. Even if things get incrementally better, beef is still going to be targeted.

I told you not to go down there and you went down. Remember that? And you came and got arrested for standing on the porch with a black family and they brought you back, the police? I said, yeah mom, I remember that!”

It’s one positive development after the other: economic improvements in a country’s economy are not magic, but rather the result of serious, unrelenting work.

It was just a couple of days ago when President Javier Milei told Argentines in a televised address the good and rare news: his government is successfully taming reckless public spending, which resulted in a rare – and welcome – first quarter budget surplus.

Read more:

CAPITALISM WORKS: Javier Milei’s Argentina Has First Quarter Budget Surplus in 16 Years – Libertarian Leader Says ‘Our Plan Is Working’

Now, a mere four months into office, Argentine President Javier Milei has also pulled off another critical – almost miraculous – feat in an economy plagued by systemic inflation: he stabilized the peso.

Bloomberg reported:

“The peso has, in fact, not only stopped plunging day after day but in one key foreign-exchange market […] it’s actually rallying sharply. The peso has soared 25% against the dollar over the past three months in the market, known as the blue-chip swap, which is used by many investors and companies. That’s more than the gains posted by any of the 148 currencies that Bloomberg tracks against the dollar.

It’s a shocking statistic in a country where the currency is seemingly in a never-ending state of freefall. (The smallest annual decline in the past decade was 15%.) And it underscores the lengths that Milei has gone to to rein in bloated government spending, choke off demand for everything in the economy, including dollars, and tame inflation that’s skyrocketed to an annual pace of almost 300%.”

The work to tame the economy is so intense, that Milei’s claims that his budget cuts are ‘the largest in the history of humankind’ are only a bit of a hyperbole.

“The cuts he imposed add up to the equivalent of almost 4% of the country’s economic output, an adjustment so aggressive that central bank officials estimate it’s larger than 90% of all those carried out in the world over the last several decades.”

The work is far from over, and dangers lie ahead: the political pressure to scale back his fiscal program will certainly mount, but the president is not worried about paying the political cost that comes with austerity.

The peso is performing so well now that the central bank can now buy dollars to replenish currency reserves.

“What’s different now is that Argentines, for the moment at least, have more confidence in the peso, curbing demand for the safety of dollars. (This allowed the central bank to lower interest rates Thursday for the fourth time since Milei took office.) Moreover, with the budget cuts in place, the central bank is no longer directly financing government spending by printing money, bringing an end to a constant source of pressure on the currency.”

The economic policy is starting to become rational, and things that were not expected are happening:

“That he’s now overseeing a torrid peso rally is an ironic twist for a man who had deemed the currency so worthless on the campaign trail that he likened it to ‘excrement’ and said it should be scrapped entirely.”
