Month: April 2024

Joe Biden’s America.

An illegal alien from Haiti was arrested in New York for allegedly killing his Haitian roommates on April 1st.

Kenol Baptiste was charged with second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter, according to Middletown Police Department.

The two victims had been stabbed several times. One victim died at the scene while the second victim died at the hospital during surgery.

Fox News Reported:

FIRST ON FOX: A Haitian migrant now accused of killing two roommates in New York was paroled into the U.S. after booking an appointment on the controversial CBP One app — which has been expanded by the Biden administration to allow tens of thousands of migrants to enter the U.S. each month.

Kenol Baptiste, a Haitian national, was arrested in Middletown, New York, on April 1 for second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, Middletown PD said in a statement earlier this month.

Police said that two men had sustained multiple stab wounds. One was determined to have died at the scene, and the other was seriously injured and later died during surgery. Police said Baptiste was an acquaintance of the victims, and all lived at the same address. Baptiste was located in a nearby wooded area by the police’s K9 team. He was then detained at Orange County Jail.

Baptiste was caught by the Middletown P.D. K9 unit in a wooded area and was arrested. He was booked into Orange County Jail.

“Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told Fox News Digital that Baptiste had arrived in the United States in July 2023 when he presented himself at the Paso Del Norte port of entry in El Paso, Texas,” Fox News reported.

Baptiste used the CBP One App last July in El Paso, Texas. He was given a “notice to appear” in court and was released into the US after being processed.

The CBP app has allowed well more that 500,000 people into the US. It is a roundabout way for illegal aliens to enter the United States.

The app has also allowed thousands of illegals to fly directly into the US bypassing the border.

CBP data released shows that under crooked Joe Biden, 404,000 illegals have been flown into the US under the regime’s CHNV parole program.

Popular actor and podcaster Russell Brand taught his viewers how to pray the rosary during an episode of his show this week.

Brand has been increasingly focusing on Christianity and Catholicism in his videos and began wearing a crucifix around his neck earlier this year.

“For meditation today, we’re going to do something a little bit different. We’re going to chant the holy rosary,” Brand said. “Now, I don’t know all of the prayers, like it begins and ends with certain prayers. But today we’ll be looking at the chant itself.”

Brand showed his rosary, on which the cross was broken, and said that it was a gift from his friend Joe.

“He said even though the crucifix is broken, Christ remains intact,” Brand explained.

The actor explained that there are five sets of ten beads “with little interruptions.” You chant Hail Marys on the interruptions and the Lord’s Prayer and Glory Be on the interstitial pieces, he said. The opening and closing prayers, he said, “I do not know so well.”

Brand asked his viewers to either pray along with him or just listen as he did.

Brand posted a clip of the prayer on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, where it quickly amassed over 1.6 million views.

Breitbart News reports that “Last year, he expressed his need for God in his life, insisting without Him he ‘cannot cope in this world.’”

Yet another Black Lives Matter activist has been convicted of defrauding donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In a press release on Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio confirmed that Sir Maejor Page, 35, of Toledo, was convicted wire fraud and three counts of money laundering following a six-day trial.

The release stated:

According to court documents and testimony, in 2016, Page created a Facebook page for “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta” (“BLMGA”) and registered this organization as a domestic non-profit with the Georgia Secretary of State Corporation’s Division. In 2017, the IRS approved Page’s request granting BLMGA tax-exempt status under Section 503(c)(3) of the tax code, but dissolved this status in 2019.

Page nonetheless accepted donations after falsely portraying BLMGA to the public as a legitimate charity engaged in social justice work, when in fact, it was not. Instead, Page used the money that individual donors gave to BLMGA not for social justice causes, but rather to buy items for his own personal use, such as a house and furniture. Page also committed money-laundering crimes when he bought these items with the donations that he fraudulently obtained.

United States Attorney Rebecca C. Lutzko, for the Northern District of Ohio also weighed in on the verdict: 

The United States Attorney’s Office prioritizes the prosecution of white-collar criminal conduct, particularly conduct involving deceptive schemes that selfishly exploit a charitable donor’s goodwill for personal gain.

The donors to BLMGA thought they were giving their hard-earned money to a cause they believed in. But instead of using it to support that cause, Page used it for himself. The jury’s verdict is a warning to every fraudster that when you misrepresent how donations or other money given to you in trust will be used, you will be prosecuted and punished.

According to The New York Times, Page stole around $450,000.

The conviction is merely the latest in a litany of similar cases where individuals invovled with the far-left Black Lives Matter organization have been caught skimming hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for their own personal gain.

Last year, even mainstream media organizations acknowledged that only a third of donations actually went towards charitable causes, while those at the highest ranks of the movement financed luxury lifestyles with donor funds.

Mike Johnson calls $95 Billion in “Foreign Aid,” including $60 Billion to Ukraine, “The right thing”

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Saturday spoke to the media after rolling over to Joe Biden and giving Senate Democrats a gift of $95 Billion to give to countries oceans away from our own, telling them he believes history will judge the decision well.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, The House of Representatives on Saturday passed three bills to hand out $95 Billion in “foreign aid” to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and other non-U.S. involved conflict zones around the world. Of the $95 Billion, over $60 Billion was allocated for Ukraine.

This comes after Republicans under Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership gave up a $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans and reauthorization for warrantless searches of Americans under FISA Section 702. 

Johnson told the press that the spending bill and FISA reauthorization were “important measures that had to be done.”

The handout to Ukraine was sold to the American people as a “loan.” However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, the package Johnson announced Wednesday includes terms that will allow the President to cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt after November 15, 2024, and the remaining 50% after January 1, 2024. It’s no wonder Joe Biden came out “strongly” in support of the package, urging the House and Senate to pass it.

“Biden backs Johnson’s plan because Johnson’s plan is Biden’s plan,” said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) on Wednesday following the announcement of the bills. Massie previously announced that we will cosponsor Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Motion to Vacate the Chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker.

The loan forgiveness terms mean that after President Trump wins the 2024 election, as expected, Joe Biden can cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt before his term ends in January. However, if Biden and the Democrats pull off another stolen election, they can forgive 100% of Ukraine’s debt a little over one year later. This isn’t a loan. It’s a handout.

See the full list of RINOs who voted in favor of the bills here:

BREAKING: House RINOS Pass Mike Johnson’s Biden Backed $95 BILLION in Foreign Aid Bills Including ADDITIONAL $60.84 BILLION to Ukraine – Here Are The RINOs Who Voted to Fund Conflicts Oceans Away

All 112 “Nay” votes on a bill to send $60 billion to Ukraine came from Republicans, with  101 Republicans voting “AYE” with 210 Democrats. Every single Democrat voted to send additional taxpayer money to secure a foreign border.

The Democrats then began to pledge their allegiance to Ukraine upon passage, waving a foreign flag in the United States House of Representatives and chanting, “UKRAINE, UKRAINE!”

Still, Mike Johnson, the self-proclaimed “Wartime Speaker,” believes he did the right thing by following through with Joe Biden and the Democrats’ agenda.

Via Citizen Free Press on Truth Social:

Johnson: I don’t walk around this building being worried about a motion to vacate. I have to do my job. We did. I’ve done here what I believe to be the right thing, and that is to allow the house to work its will. And, as I said, you do the right thing and you let the chips fall where they may.

Reporter: Why did you decide to do it right now?

Johnson: Listen, the house had a lot of important work to do here. We had to get the government funded in our appropriations process, we had to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, we had a lot of important measures that had to be done, and we got to this as quickly as we could. This is an important matter. I think it’s timely. I think you’ve heard from leaders around the world, including in Ukraine, that this is being done on a timely basis, and the house had to have the time to deliberate and do this in the right manner. I think we did our work here and I think history will judge it well.

The state of New York has confirmed that it will be scrapping most of its signature offshore wind projects, in a major blow to all those pushing the climate change hoax.

The projects were intended to help the state achieve its goal of 70 percent renewable energy by 2030 while becoming a nationwide leader in renewable energy, although they have now been deemed unviable.

Politico reports:

The report adds that while New York is not giving up on wind power entirely, the decision does represent a serious setback:

It’s not the total end of offshore wind in New York but does represent a setback. There are still some projects off the coast of Long Island and New Jersey on the drawing board and one is already operational.

…

Environmental advocates are alarmed by the challenges facing the industry. Offshore wind is key to reaching New York’s goal of 70 percent renewable energy sources by 2030, along with other longer-term targets. But there is growing evidence that the mandate will be hard to reach.

Such news underlines the growing body of evidence that wind power and other forms of renewable energies are not practical alternatives to meeting America’s long term energy needs, all while the Biden regime wages war on the country’s vast natural energy reserves.

Bitcoin, the decentralized cryptocurrency created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, has undergone its fourth deflationary evolution, reducing the block reward to 3.125 BTC.

The much-anticipated fourth Bitcoin “halving” event has come and gone with little fanfare or market reaction. Many participants noted that the change was already priced in by market makers.

Bitcoin “halving” is a pre-coded software update that reduces the reward for miners–network operators who play a crucial role by devoting their processing power to the “discovery” of new coins. These halving events occur every 210,000 blocks mined, historically equating to one halving event every four years.

Speaking to The Block, crypto exchange Kraken’s head of strategy Thomase Perfumo explained that this halving was possibly the “most significant” yet:

“Firstly, after April 2024, nearly 95% of all bitcoins that will ever exist will have been mined. Furthermore, the annualized growth of bitcoin’s supply each year will soon fall to less than 1% for the first time,” Perfumo said.

These changes might result in some network underperformance as some players choose to exit the market, as Binance CEO Richard Teng cautioned:

“The Bitcoin network has shown resilience in the face of such challenges in the past. Advancements in mining technology and strategies, as well as potential adjustments in mining difficulty, could mitigate the impact of reduced miner participation,” Teng said. “Additionally, some miners may opt to switch to mining altcoins or explore alternative revenue streams within the crypto space, which could help maintain a balance in the overall mining ecosystem.”

But for those speculating on the future price of the cryptocurrency, halving events are often a moment of jubilation. Billionaire Tim Draper explained his cause for celebration to Cointelegraph, predicting that the price may rise up to $250,000.

“The simple reason that Bitcoin price goes up after the halving is that the supply goes down, and with continued upward pressure on demand, the price goes up naturally in a free market,” he said.

When Nakamoto launched Bitcoin in 2009, the block reward distributed to miners amounted to 50 BTC. The first halving event in 2012 reduced this reward to 25, and the subsequent rounds in 2016 and 2020 reduced this reward further to 12.5 and 6.25, respectively.

Bitcoin incorporates a hard cap of 21 million on the total number of coins able to be discovered. With blocks–components of the public ledger that validate transactions processed during a given period–averaging 10 minutes for their discovery, the network will continue to produce new coins for miners until 2140.

At this point, miners will still profit from their involvement in the bitcoin infrastructure, but will do so solely by collecting fees from end users sending bitcoin to one another.

Senior skip day has been a long-standing tradition in high school for years. It is supposed to be a fun day for students.

This day involved a shooting at Hanover Parkway in Maryland, where hundreds of students were gathered on Friday. Five people were shot, one person was reported to be in critical condition while four others were stable.

The shots were reported around 2:30 PM according to Greenbelt Police Chief Rick Bowers.

Fox News reported:

Five people were shot in Greenbelt, Maryland, during a high school senior skip day party at a park, police said in a Friday evening press conference.

The shooting happened at Hanover Parkway in Prince George’s County.

Hundreds of students were gathered for the party before shots rang out around 2:30 p.m., Greenbelt Police Chief Rick Bowers said.

“My heart breaks for them. These are just kids trying to have a good time,” ‘Bowers said of the victims, who ranged in age from 16 to 18,’” Fox News reported.

The Mayor of Greenbelt, Emmett V. Jordan also made a statement in regard to the shooting.

“If a group of high school students can not get together and have a good time, what is the world coming to?” Jordan said according to Fox News.

“We can confirm that 5 people were shot they are all teenage boys and two are under the age of 18,” Fox 5 reporter said.

“A group of about 500 to 600 students gathered for a planned senior skip day event. These are students from a number of schools in the district,” Fox 5 reporter continued.

Watch:

No one has been arrested at this time. Police believe a suspect fled after the shooting.

This is a developing story at this time.

Trump crowd in Wilmington, North Carolina before cancellation

UPDATE: The rally has been canceled due to severe weather:

President Trump called into the rally to give the following announcement:

Trump: You see, there’s some very bad weather heading in, and we’re flying in in a few minutes, but they really would prefer that we not come in because there’s a certain danger to all of this. And we want to make sure that everybody is safe above all. And so they’ve asked us to ask people to leave the site and seek shelter. And what we’ll do is we’ll make up for this very quickly at another time. We’ll do it as quickly as possible. I’m devastated that this could happen, but we want to keep everybody safe. It’s the most important thing, and we want everybody there to be 100% safe. There seems to be some thunder and lightning, and it’s a pretty big storm. So, if you don’t mind, I think we’re gonna have to just do a rain check. I’m so sad. I’m in North Carolina right now and waiting to go in. But they’re saying the weather is really getting bad, really, really getting bad. So, we have to rely on the Weather Service and some of the officials, and I just want to thank you. I’m so sorry, but we’ll do it again, and we’ll do it bigger and better. You have my promise—same location. And thank you all very much. Thank you, everybody. God be with you. Thank you.

Trump is expected to take the stage at 7 pm ET. Watch live below.

Right Side Broadcasting Network reports,

North Carolina is shaping up to be Trump territory in the upcoming November 2024 general election, based on the latest polling data in the Tar Heel State.

According to the newest DDHQ polling average, Trump is leading Biden by just over five points in a hypothetical general election, based on an average of 25 polls.

More polling averages from data aggregators like Real Clear Politics have given Trump a 48-electoral vote lead nationwide over Biden in a general election, while Race to the White House has given Trump a 49-vote lead with the EC.

Polymarket’s forecast has also projected that Trump is currently holding advantages in the key battleground states of North Carolina (40 points), Georgia (18 points), and Arizona (10 points).

This rally comes after President Trump’s first week in court for his New York “hush money” trial brought by Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg. While Trump has been hit with an extremely broad and unconstitutional gag order, preventing him from criticizing far-left Judge Juan Merchan and his family of lobbyists and Democrat donors, he is expected to exercise his First Amendment rights and comment on the lawfare case and radical left thugs behind it.

He also may comment on the leftist psychopath from Florida, Max Azzarello, who died after pouring an accelerant on himself and liting himself on fire in full view of national media outlets that were reporting from outside the trial.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Azzarello described himself as “an investigative researcher” in a Substack post titled, “I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.” Azzarello’s online manifesto contained a complex conspiracy theory involving Peter Thiel, cryptocurrency, and “an apocalyptic fascist world coup.”

The Daily Mail reports, “the activist had recently completed 180 days probation for a string of incidents in The Sunshine state, involving either disorderly conduct and destruction of property – and overall erratic, ‘rambling’ behavior.”

One might say the man suffered from a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Additionally, The U.S. House of Representatives earlier today passed three bills to hand out $95 BILLION to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and other non-U.S. involved conflict zones around the world — with nothing for Americans.

All of the 112 “Nay” votes on a bill to send $60 BILLION to Ukraine came from Republicans. Every single Democrat voted to send additional taxpayer money to secure a foreign border. The Democrats then began to pledge their allegiance to Ukraine upon passage, waving a foreign flag in the United States House of Representatives and chanting, “UKRAINE, UKRAINE!”

BREAKING: House RINOS Pass Mike Johnson’s Biden Backed $95 BILLION in Foreign Aid Bills Including ADDITIONAL $60.84 BILLION to Ukraine – Here Are The RINOs Who Voted to Fund Conflicts Oceans Away

President Trump on Thursday came out in opposition to the foreign aid package, demanding that Europe equalize America’s contributions to Ukraine’s war–in Europe. “Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation!” said Trump in a scathing Truth Social post.

President Trump aired similar sentiments in a press conference with Speaker Johnson last week, noting that “we keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars” and calling on Europe to give money to equalize America’s aid contributions. Trump also stated that he wanted to see Mike Johnson and Republicans in Congress attach loan terms to the aid we’re providing. However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, the “loan” structure in the package Mike Johnson announced Wednesday includes FULL LOAN FORGIVENESS!

Trump will likely share his disgust with the RINOs and Democrats who voted to secure Ukraine’s southern border with $60 billion while leaving our border wide open, and with Europe for footing the bill to U.S. taxpayers.

Police have arrested a Tennessee teacher for allegedly threatening to shoot a colleague at her preschool.

Sheneca Cowart was arrested and charged with assault, threat of mass violence at a school, and two counts of carrying a weapon to a school following Thursday’s incident at The Academy of McCrory Lane.

NBC News reports,

Authorities took Cowart into custody after witnesses said she threatened to “retrieve a firearm and made threats against another teacher and the school after an argument,” the Metro Nashville Police Department said.

Staff members alleged 29-year-old Cowart threatened to “shoot up” the preschool and that she keeps a gun “on her,” according to NBC News affiliate WSMV.

Another teacher claimed to overhear Cowart say “when I start shooting, you better run,” prompting the preschool to go into lockdown, WSMV reported.

The police department recovered one handgun from Cowart’s purse and another firearm in the driver’s side door of her vehicle.

Cowart was held on a $37,000 bond before being released from jail the same night.

Cowart’s arrest has inevitably sparked the gun rights conversation and sparked Democrats to pander to their base that they will “act.”

A teacher accused of threatening to shoot up a Nashville preschool has some parents questioning whether arming teachers is a good idea.

“We’ve done nothing, unfortunately, and we are just in the mode waiting for the next tragedy, and hopefully, after the next tragedy, we will act,” state Rep. Bo Mitchell (D-Nashville) said.

This news comes as a bill allowing armed teachers in public schools moves through Tennessee’s legislature.
