Month: May 2024

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt officially conceded defeat Wednesday evening. After 20+ hours of ballot counting, with Oregon’s infamous “vote by mail” system and a pile of newly found ballots that closed the lead for challenger Nathan Vasquez from 16% to 8%, Schmidt Show came to terms with reality and admitted his loss.

As we reported earlier today, Portlanders have rejected Schmidt, his Soros backers, and the “progressive reform” policies that resulted in massive spikes across the board in all areas of crime. Schmidt quickly gained a reputation for throwing victims under the bus and favoring criminals. The new boss, Nathan Vasquez, has served as a deputy DA in Multnomah county for nearly 25 years. But don’t hold your breath for too long. Compared to Schmidt Show’s far left buffoonery, Vasquez’s regular-left-wing-democrat policies will likely only move the needle slightly closer to sanity.

A quick gander at Schmidt’s Facebook and Twitter pages shows a plethora of ticked off citizens who couldn’t wait to vote him out. He will still hold the office until January.

Trump is now tied with Joe Biden in New Hampshire, according to new polling.

Years ago, this would not be surprising. New Hampshire used to be a red state, but decades of migration from liberals in Massachusetts who didn’t want to pay the taxes that they consistently voted for has turned the Granite State blue.

Maybe people in New Hampshire have finally had enough.

NH Journal reports:

SHOCK POLL: Trump Tied With Biden in Blue New Hampshire

Democrats have all but owned the Granite State’s four Electoral College votes, winning seven of the past eight presidential contests – including Joe Biden’s eight-point victory over President Donald Trump in 2020.

But the latest NHJournal/Praecones Analytica poll finds Biden tied with Trump in New Hampshire, putting him at risk of becoming the first Democrat to lose the state since Al Gore in 2000.

The survey of 862 registered voters taken the week of May 15-20 found Granite Staters evenly split between Biden and Trump at 36 percent, with 14 percent backing independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and another 12 percent choosing none of these.

Those numbers may explain why Biden is making his second Granite State stop in two months, an unusual travel pattern for a Democratic president in a competitive national election. For Biden, who rarely travels far from D.C. or his Delaware beach house, it’s particularly notable.

Listen to these New Hampshire voters and it all makes sense.

A Rhode Island man was caught on surveillance footage stealing a cop car after getting into an altercation with an officer.

Ishmael Lee, 34, was arrested on Tuesday after absconding with the stolen police vehicle.

The officer was patrolling when he noticed two men, one of whom was Lee, driving Slingshots.

As the police officer was observing the Slingshot riders, Lee crashed into someone who was riding an electric scooter.

Local station WPRI reports:

While speaking with the victim and Lee, the officer noticed Lee had taken the satchel he was wearing off and looped it around the handlebar of his Slingshot. Lee then tried to distance himself from it as he continued talking to the officer, according to the report.

Since the officer believed Lee might be carrying a weapon, the report stated he tried to pat the bag down the bag for his safety before allowing Lee to grab his identification.

But Lee took off running with the satchel before the officer could pat it down, according to the report. The officer chased him around the corner onto Colfax Street, where the two briefly struggled before Lee broke free and kept running.

The report said that a firearm fell out of Lee’s satchel as he was escaping, so the officer secured the weapon while calling for backup.

At this point, Lee jumped into the officer’s cruiser and sped off.

Lee did not go far before jumping out of the vehicle and trying to get away on foot. He was quickly located by officers and taken into custody.

Lee has been charged with simple assault, motor vehicle theft, possession of a firearm, resisting arrest, reckless driving and obstruction of justice. His bail was set by a judge at $20,000.

A small town in Wisconsin is currently under Federal review after making a decision to eliminate electronic voting machines and replace them with paper ballots.

In June 2023, board members of the town of Thornapple in Rusk County, Wisconsin, decided to stop using electronic voting machines for elections and instead rely entirely on hand-counting ballots.

The decision by board members has since caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, which is now investigating the move.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Suzanne Pinnow, who serves as Thornapple’s chief election official, received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division seeking information about why the town decided to get rid of electronic machines and how the township is helping to accommodate disabled voters in the process.

Pinnow told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that no one with disabilities has been “turned away” from voting with the new hand-counting ballot system.

BREAKING: The Town of Thornapple with 711 people in Rusk County, Wisconsin is under investigation by the the federal government of the Biden regime.

Because they chose to ditch voting machines and opted to hand count all the votes!https://t.co/VyfW9n4KUG

Per AOL:

A rural Wisconsin community’s decision to eliminate electronic voting machines has attracted the attention of federal investigators who are questioning how voters with disabilities cast ballots in the town of fewer than 1,000 people.

The vote by a small board overseeing the Town of Thornapple in Rusk County, population 711, to rely solely on hand counting paper ballots took place last year and caught the eye of state and federal officials after the April presidential primary election when advocates for voters with disabilities rang alarm bells.

The decision was made in June 2023, according to town supervisor Tom Zelm − around the time of a discussion in the local newspaper over whether to abandon electronic voting machines and amid visits to the area by one of the nation’s most prominent purveyors of election conspiracy theories.

On Tuesday, attorneys within the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section sent a letter to Suzanne Pinnow, Thornapple’s chief election official, seeking information about the decision to remove electronic voting machines and information on how the township is accommodating voters with disabilities.

Pinnow told the Journal Sentinel the decision was made by the town board, which she said also had instructed her not to discuss the matter. She said it’s not true that voters with disabilities were unable to use an accessible voting machine during the April election.

If you’re a tiny Rusk County township of 711 people and you try making your elections transparently clean and fair with the one-voter-one-vote paper ballot method, the Biden regime will threaten to come down on your like a ton of rage. https://t.co/1FYqNHajMV

The former Obama speech writers, often referred to as the Obama bros, run a podcast called Pod Save America.

During a recent episode, they revealed that they’re horrified by the prospect of Trump being reelected because he might get to appoint two more justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.

They correctly point out that if that happens, the court will have a conservative majority for decades.

They also suggest that Democrats should run on this issue.

From Mediaite:

Ex-Obama Official Warns: A Trump Win in 2024 Will Mean FIVE Trump Justices on Supreme Court

A former Barack Obama advisor is warning that a second Donald Trump term in the White House will inevitably lead to a “MAGA court majority” for decades to come.

Pod Save America co-host Dan Pfeiffer raised alarms about another four years of Trump in office and the potential impact on the Supreme Court. In his first term, Trump appointed three judges to the Supreme Court: Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh.

In the latest episode of Pod Save America, Pfeiffer argued Democrats should mimic a strategy he said Republicans deployed in 2016 when some were convinced to support Trump in the presidential election due to the significance of a Supreme Court seat being open at the time. Democrats, Pfeiffer said, should “reverse” this strategy and make the Supreme Court as central to their pitch as Republicans did…

“If he gets two appointments, that means he will have appointed five Supreme Court Justices, all of whom will be around or below the age of 60 when he leaves office,” he said. “That is a court majority — a MAGA court majority that will rule for decades.

Watch the clip below:

“Think about the stakes in the Supreme Court. If Donald Trump wins, he will almost certainly get two more appointments…If he has two appointments, that means he will have appointed five Supreme Court justices” —@danpfeiffer on the 2024 election

James O’Keefe strikes again!

O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of Jake Reyna, Department of Defense and US Air Force Operations Research Analyst for the Office of the Secretary of the Air in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, confirming DEI training is mandatory for airmen.

Reyna told the OMG undercover reporter that white men are “definitely stupid” and “definitely suck.”

Jake Reyna also said that white men “probably” make us weaker as a military.

Per O’Keefe Media Group:

DEI Conspiracy in Air Force: “We basically contacted everybody who had a title like that and got them to sneakily change their title so it doesn’t sound as diversity oriented even though it is,” reveals Jake Reyna, Department of Defense and US Air Force Operations Research Analyst for the @SecAFOfficial in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Believing Republicans have attempted to cut back on the government’s use of discriminatory DEI policies “just to fuck with the [DEI] system,” Reyna confesses on undercover footage caught by O’Keefe Media Group that the Air Force manipulates job titles to cheat the system out of a higher salary for DEI personnel. Bragging, “We just weaseled around it,” Reyna claims “there’s nothing really they [Republicans] would be able to do.”

The cover-up does not end there. Reyna states about his office, “We’re actually moving into this other group called Manpower and Readiness” to stay under the radar.

Reyna confirms DEI training is mandatory for airmen and if an airman does not participate in DEI trainings, he “wouldn’t be qualified for promotions or he’d get reprimanded and…he’d get written up” before eventually being dishonorably discharged, which includes being stripped of all benefits.

Tasked with developing programs like the Workforce Analytics Dashboard that lists the demographics of the Air Force with an emphasis on “race, ethnicity, and gender,” Reyna admits the Air Force has no data to support its DEI policies. “I don’t know if there’s any specific data you can provide outside of just saying like, yeah, we’re getting more diverse talking about changing officers.” Asked, “In your experience, have you seen or have you come across any data that actually serves as evidence that indeed DEIA candidates or troops perform better than non-DEIA troops?” Reyna responds, “No, I don’t think so.”

Empowered in the Air Force’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Reyna believes white men are “definitely stupid” and “definitely suck.” “Do you think they [white men] make us weaker as a military?” asks OMG’s American Swiper. Reyna responds, “In some ways, probably.”

A severe and potentially catastrophic flaw has been identified in nearly 300 Boeing 777 jets operated by major airlines, including United and American Airlines.

This flaw, rooted in an electrical issue, poses a risk of causing the aircraft’s wing fuel tanks to ignite and explode, a recent investigation by Daily Mail has disclosed.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) highlighted this concern in a notice issued on March 25, 2024, which revealed that an “electrostatic discharge” near the center-wing fuel tanks could act as an ignition source, leading to a possible fire or explosion.

Boeing has been given a deadline until May 9 to address these issues, although their response remains pending. The proposed fix involves the installation of new electrical bonding and grounding measures around the air intake system near the center-wing fuel tanks.

According to the FAA, this fix would cost less than $698,000 for all affected aircraft within the U.S., with individual parts priced at merely $98 per plane.

The urgency of these repairs was underscored by a recent testimony from whistleblower Sam Salehpour during Senate hearings. Salehpour accused Boeing of compromising on safety standards and using unapproved techniques during the assembly of the 777 jets.

He described witnessing workers using improper methods to align parts, sometimes resorting to physically jumping on components to fit them into place.

Daily Mail reported:

Less than two weeks after the order’s May 9 deadline, one 73-year-old was dead and 23 more were injured when nearby lightning and electrical storms led to ‘sudden extreme turbulence’ for a Singapore Airlines flight onboard a 777.

That death and the FAA warning join controversies already swirling the aerospace giant and its ‘triple seven’ aircrafts — including Senate testimony by a whistleblower who has accused Boeing of taking shortcuts when building the 777.

the FAA’s March 25, 2024 ‘airworthiness directive’ to Boeing has raised new concerns about the 777 series of aircraft, which are among the bestselling long haul aircraft in the world and the first commercial jets designed entirely by computer.

The nitrogen enriched air distribution system (NEADS), which helps keep combustible oxygen away from the plane’s jet fuel, according to the FAA, ‘was installed without a designed electrical bond […] in the center wing tank.’

Five models of the ‘triple sevens’ were called out by the FAA’s order, including the Boeing 777F, 777–200, –200LR, –300, and the –300ER, which was the exact model involved in this Monday’s fatal Singapore Airlines incident.

Sickening bodycam footage has emerged showing a group of Hamas terrorists cruelly taunting captured female Israeli soldiers as they are handcuffed and pressed against a wall.

The shocking video was shared today on Israeli television and first released by The Hostages and Missing Families Forum. As Reuters reported, the video was shot inside the Nahal Oz base’s bomb shelter on October 7, but it was withheld until now.

The Israeli government posted the footage on its X page, complete with English subtitles. Please be warned what you are about to read is extremely disturbing.

In the sickening video, five young female Israeli soldiers in their pajamas are being tormented by Hamas soldiers. They are seen bloodied, presumably from being beaten by the medieval scumbags.

One of the Israeli soldiers pleaded with the savages to find someone who could speak English with her, while another told them that she had friends in Gaza. Their cries fell on deaf ears, however, as the savages demanded they sit down.

“Our brothers died because of you!” one terrorist yells in Arabic. “We will shoot you all!”

One of the terrorists then gleefully announces the group’s plans to r*pe the soldiers.

“Here are the girls who can get pregnant,” one of the Hamas soldiers boasted. “You’re so beautiful!”

Another gunman hurls sexist insults toward the females and threatens to physically assault them.

“You are dogs! We will step on you, dogs!” he shouted.

“Here, these are the girls who can get pregnant.”

This is video footage depicting the horrific kidnapping of 5 female Israeli hostages: Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa and Naama Levy.

After the monsters stopped to pray, they violently throw the young women into the back of a car with the sound of gunfire in the background. Several of the females struggle getting to the vehicle while the Hamas terrorists scream at them to leave their friends behind.

The footage concludes with the women packed in the back of the car as it drives off.

The hostages were identified as Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniella Gilboa, and Naama Levy. They have been held hostage since October 7.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum explained they released the footage to pressure the Israeli government to bring the girls. They also urged the Jewish state to restart talks with Hamas.

“The video is a damning testament to the nation’s failure to bring home the hostages, who have been forsaken for 229 days,” the group said in a statement. “The Israeli government must not waste even one more moment — it must return to the negotiating table today!”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected renegotiating with the terrorists at this point, believing a ruthless military assault is the only way to make Hamas fold.

New documents released by the House Ways and Means Committee show an encrypted message sent by Hunter Biden to the CEO of CEFC Global Strategic Holdings, a CCP-linked conglomerate, setting up a meeting with Joe Biden in December 2017.

The Republican-led committee voted to release more than 100 pages of documents proving Hunter Biden lied under oath to Congress during his February deposition.

House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) on Wednesday accused Hunter Biden of lying under oath during his closed-door deposition before Congress in February.

New documents provided by a whistleblower contradict Hunter Biden’s testimony to Congress. Hunter Biden repeatedly lied to Congress about his family’s international influence-peddling scheme, according to Chairman Smith.

Chairman Smith said Hunter Biden lied about his shakedown message to his Chinese business associate Zhao. Hunter claimed he messaged the wrong Zhao because he was “high or drunk,” however records show the two had been messaging each other for months.

One of the documents released by House Republicans shows Hunter Biden messaging Liu Yadong, the CEO of CEFC Global Strategic Holdings and setting up a meeting with Joe Biden.

Biden Crime Family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski has repeatedly claimed Joe Biden was involved in Hunter’s multi-million dollar deals with CEFC.

“The Chinese Communist Party through its surrogate, China Energy Company Limited, or ‘CEFC’ — a CCP-linked Chinese energy conglomerate, successfully sought to infiltrate and compromise Joe Biden and the Obama-Biden White House,” Bobulinski previously said.

Recall that Tony Bobulinski, a retired lieutenant in the US Navy, was the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family.

Bobulinski has repeatedly stated that he met with Joe Biden numerous times to discuss Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals.

Tony Bobulinski

“The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period,” Bobulinski previously said. “It is clear to me that Joe Biden was ‘the Brand’ being sold by the Biden family.”

Rob Walker, another Biden family associate, recounted a time where Joe Biden walked into a meeting with CEFC officials at a Four Seasons.

The CEFC meeting at the Four Seasons referenced in the deposition may line up with an email found on Hunter Biden’s laptop detailing a September 2017 meeting with CEFC officials on the 13th floor of the Four Seasons in Ireland.

“Walker went on to describe an instance in which the former Vice President showed up at a CEFC meeting. Walker said: “We were at the Four Seasons and we were having lunch and he stopped in, just said hello to everybody. I don’t even think he drank water. I think Hunter Biden said, ‘I may be trying to start a company or try to do something with these guys and could you?’ And I think he was like, if I’m around and he’d show up,” IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley previously told lawmakers, citing his conversation with Rob Walker.

House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) said Hunter Biden lying in his sworn testimony to Congress is a “felony offense.”

“Hunter Biden has shown once again he believes there are two systems of justice in this country – one for his family, and one for everyone else. Not only did Hunter Biden refuse to comply with his initial subpoena until threatened with criminal contempt, but he then came before Congress and lied. The Ways and Means Committee’s investigation, and the documents released today, are not part of a personal vendetta against Hunter Biden, but are meant to ensure the equal application of the law,” House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith said in a statement to The Gateway Pundit.

“Lying during sworn testimony is a felony offense that the Department of Justice has prosecuted numerous individuals for in recent years, and the American people expect the same accountability for the son of the President of the United States. Hunter Biden’s lies under oath, and obstruction of a congressional investigation into his family’s potential corruption, calls into question other pieces of his testimony. The newly released evidence affirms, once again, the only witnesses who can be trusted to tell the truth in this investigation are the IRS whistleblowers,” Chairman Smith added.
