CBS is reporting that Caitlin Clark, the women’s basketball player in history, is being left off of the Olympic team.

A bunch of women basketball players who most people don’t even know will be representing the US Olympic team in Paris in 2024. Caitlin Clark will not be one of them.

CBS Sports reported (per The Gateway Pundit):

Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark is expected to be left off the Team USA women’s basketball roster for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris, David Eickholt of 247Sports confirms.

USA Today’s Christine Brennan first reported shortly after midnight Saturday.

Clark became the college basketball all-time leading scorer earlier this year, and she is currently putting up some impressive numbers in the WNBA.

In her first 14 games, she has averaged 16.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game. She has also already put up two 30-point games — one of them being during the Fever’s 85-83 win over the Washington Mystics in which she reached a career-high seven 3-pointers. With that performance, Clark became the fastest rookie in WNBA history to record 200+ points and 50+ assists.

The list of women on the US basketball roster is reportedly as follows:

Caitlyn Jenner weighed in on this outrageous news, “Boom! I strongly strongly agree with your take. i am gonna hold back as hard as I can on what I think of these ‘decision makers’. This makes my blood boil.

David Portnoy from Barstool Sports had this to say about the news:

“All right. I’m at Saratoga Belmont Day. Looking spectacular, per usual shoes, bang. But this is about Caitlin Clark being left off the Olympic team. How dumb are these women? How dumb? I don’t know who’s making the decision, women’s Olympic Committee, whatever it is. I don’t care if you don’t think Caitlin Clark talent-wise belongs on this team, even though she does put up 37 to 13, like the most points in the history of the league for a rookie.

None of it matters. These women, and I love women, I’m a pro-woman-guy, women-guy. They complain and they cry about equal rights, equal wages, blah, blah, blah, blah. Hey, dummies, for the first time in the history of basketball, you have arguably a player who is the most popular player in the world.

You could argue right now, Caitlin Clark is the most talked about, discussed, most popular, most puts asses in the seats, single basketball player in the world. You could argue that. Yeah, you could say maybe LeBron, Luca, whatever you want, but you can argue it. And you leave her off the Olympic team. It’s not only a showcase for her, it’s for the sport and the other WNBA players who are on this team.

How dumb, how brain dead, how idiotic do the people running this thing have to be? It was one thing after another with her. The business part of my brain is like, these people, and maybe it’s guy, whoever it is, I don’t ever want to hear you complain about flying commercial or not getting salaries or this, that.

You’re too dumb. You’re too dumb. You have a cash cow. This can bring the Olympic basketball, women’s basketball, be like the number one thing people watch with Caitlin Clark. As it is, I’d rather watch grass grow. I’d rather watch paint dry. I’d rather watch dirt just be moved around because Caitlin Clark is not on the team. If she’s there, it’s appointment TV. You people, whoever did this, honestly, hey, take your brain, put it in a museum, and study it for how dumb you are.”

Here are the stats to date in the WNBA this season as of June 8, 2024.

In total points scored this season, Clark is 7th in the WNBA. Only four women selected to the Olympic team are ahead of Clark (Copper, Stewart, Collier, and Wilson).

In scoring average per game Clark is 13th in the WNBA. Only 8 girls on the Olympic Team have game averages in scoring better than Clark (Wilson, Copper, Collier, Stewart, Lloyd, Plum, Young and Ionescu).

In three pointers made this season, Clark is second in the WNBA. No woman on the Olympic team has made more 3’s than Caitlin Clark!

In three pointers made per game this year in the WNBA, Clark is 4th in the league. Only two women on the Olympic team averaged more 3s made per game than Caitlin Clark (Plum and Taurasi).

In total assists to date this year in the WNBA, Clark is 3rd in the League. Only one woman on the Olympic team has more assists than Caitlin Clark this year (Thomas).

In assists per game this year in the WNBA, Clark is 4th in the WNBA. Only two woman on the Olympic team have more assists per game (Thomas and Young).

Despite these numbers and breaking nearly every scoring and assist record imaginable during her illustrious career at Iowa, Caitlin Clark is not on the Olympic team. This is a travesty.

Elon Musk has launched another fierce attack on Dr. Anthony Fauci, this time accusing him of committing “crimes against humanity” in a tweet posted on X Saturday.

Musk shared a tweet on Saturday featuring an image of Fauci likened to a mugshot with the caption, “You’re All Beagles to Me Anyway… Crimes Against Humanity.”

The reference to ‘beagles’ traces back to an exclusive report from The Gateway Pundit in 2021. The report was based on findings by The White Coat Waste Project, a taxpayer watchdog group that advocates for reducing wasteful government spending on animal testing.

According to documents uncovered by the organization, the NIAID, under Dr. Fauci’s leadership, had allocated part of a $375,800 grant to a lab in Tunisia for experimentation on beagles. The grant money was used to infest beagles with parasites as part of a study published last month.

The details of the experiment are disturbing. The beagles were subjected to torturous conditions, including having their heads locked in mesh cages filled with infected sandflies. These parasite-carrying insects were allowed to feast on the dogs alive.

There was a photo of the test, which is sure to haunt anyone with a conscience.

This recent tweet follows a history of Musk’s criticisms of Fauci, including a 2022 tweet where Musk explicitly called for Fauci to be prosecuted, adding, “Truth resonates…”

Musk has also previously expressed personal grievances related to COVID-19 vaccinations, claiming in a tweet that he felt like he was “dying” after receiving his second mRNA vaccine dose.

And my cousin, who is young & in peak health, had a serious case of myocarditis. Had to go to the hospital.

Last year, Elon Musk posted a video on X, trolling deniers of vaccine injuries and ineffectiveness and the groups involved in forcing the jab on people around the world.

Musk posted the following video, exposing the gradual decline of vaccine efficacy, calls for boosters, later reports of vaccine-related injuries and serious health issues, and finally, the billions of dollars in profits reported by big pharma companies, in media reports on his X platform, asking, “Have you heard dis information?”

Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday delivered statements to the press following a parade procession to the Elysée Palace.

Saturday’s presser was part of Biden’s 5-day trip to France where he attended D-Day ceremonies in Normandy and held meetings with Emmanuel Macron.

Biden claimed he’s a “student of French history” during Saturday’s presser.

“It was a moving experience for a student of French history to be at the Champs-Élysées today. It was a moving experience for the whole delegation,” Biden said.

Biden is a student of French history, was raised by Puerto Ricans, attended a black church growing up, and was a star football player.

Joe Biden once again claimed that (non-existent) climate change is “the only existential threat to humanity, including nuclear weapons.”

“And the existential threat of climate change, which is just growing greater. We’re working together to accelerate the global transition to net zero. It is the only existential threat to humanity including nuclear weapons,” Biden said.

Patricia McCloskey and husband Mark/ UPI

A judge has cleared the misdemeanor convictions of a St. Louis couple who displayed firearms to protect their home against Black Lives Matter protesters outside their residence in 2020.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey are now seeking the return of their firearms.

In January, the attorneys petitioned for their convictions to be erased. Judge Joseph P. Whyte granted the expungement on Wednesday, noting that the process aims to provide rehabilitated individuals with a fresh start, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson says Trump wants to intervene in case of St. Louis couple who pointed guns at protesters – The Washington Post https://t.co/UGViPMFHSo

— Jacob Heilbrunn (@JacobHeilbrunn) July 15, 2020

The New York Post reports,

Attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey filed a request in January to have the convictions wiped away. Judge Joseph P. Whyte wrote in an order Wednesday that the purpose of an expungement is to give people who have rehabilitated themselves a second chance, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

City prosecutors and police opposed the expungements.

Immediately after the judge’s ruling, Mark McCloskey demanded that the city return the two guns seized as part of his 2021 guilty plea to misdemeanor assault.

Republican Gov. Mike Parson pardoned the couple weeks after the plea.

“It’s time for the city to cough up my guns,” he told the Post-Dispatch.

If it doesn’t, he said, he’ll file a lawsuit.

The McCloskeys maintain that they felt threatened by the protesters who were walking by their home in June of 2020 on their way to the mayor’s house nearby.

The protest stemmed from George Floyd’s controversial passing, which sparked riots and protests all across America.

It was one of hundreds of demonstrations around the country after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The couple also said the group was trespassing on a private street.

McCloskey came out of his home with an AR-15-style rifle, and Patricia displayed a semiautomatic pistol.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said thoughts of being hit with a stun gun were with him after he received an impromptu invitation to speak during the team’s meeting with President Joe Biden last week.

The revelation came during the Kelce brothers’ “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday as a grinning Travis told brother Jason about his moment of fame during the Super Bowl champions’ White House visit on May 31.

During the Chiefs’ visit last year, Travis Kelce’s version of being on his best behavior at the White House meant that during a moment when the podium was unguarded, he moved to the mic there and began, “So, I’ve been waiting for this …”

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave Kelce a good-natured push from the podium before whatever message Kelce hoped to deliver could be said.

— Ari M (@AriMeirov) June 5, 2023

This year, Biden summoned Kelce to finally get it off his chest.

“My fellow Americans, it’s nice to see you all yet again. I’m not going to lie. President Biden, they told me if I came up here, I’d get Tased. So I’m going to go back to my spot, all right?” the tight end said.

As he laughed about the moment, Travis Kelce said he did not think he was the favorite of the Secret Service detail.

“The Secret Service that’s all over the White House, they weren’t too happy with me. They weren’t too happy with me on my time visiting,” he said.

“When I walked in, we had about four or five Secret Service members come up to me and tell me, ‘You know, if you go up to that podium, we’re authorized to Tase you,’” he said.

“That’s all that was going through my head,” Kelce said in explaining his short speech.

“I had no idea President Biden was going to ask me to come up and let me have my moment … and he walks right up … gives me the floor, and I felt Taser aimed at me when I was up there the whole time,” he said.

Kelce noted that he was very proud of himself as he arrived this year, having come with an expired ID to the event last year.

“I made sure because of what happened last time and how embarrassed I was for going to the White House with an expired ID, I made sure that I brought my passport this time so that it showed that I was a citizen in Missouri.”

The Secret Service noted that all the tasing talk was all in fun.

“Our agents and officers were happy to support Travis and the Chiefs’ official visit to the White House, even presenting him with a Secret Service pin,” Secret Service representative Nathan Herring said, according to People.

“As for the Taser comment, Travis and our personnel were having some friendly banter as we have passionate football fans throughout our organization,” Herring said.

Biden-appointed US District Attorney Matthew Graves

Matthew Graves (US Attorney for District of Columbia) is notorious for standing by and doing nothing while hundreds of BLM and Antifa followers attacked the White House and attempted to burn a church to the ground during the 2020 riots.

Graves continues his “look away” approach with a Pro-Hamas protestor. On November 15th 2023 a man named Ruben Arthur Camacho punched a female Capitol police officer in the face during a Pro-Hamas protest.  Recently, his sentence of 48 Hours Community Service was handed down by none other than Matthew Graves.

Never before has the 2-tiered justice system been more markedly on display with how this sentence compares to the treatment of President Trump and the J6ers. What if your loved one was at the epicenter of that statement?  Now J6ers share 2 words, bringing proof to all Americans that the Scales of Justice are clearly favoring one side vs the other.  Those 2 words are:

Matthew. Graves.

This is the same D.A. that relentlessly went after anyone at the Capitol on January 6th, sending them to Federal Court on similar or lesser charges than Camacho, who was sent to the Local Court by Graves.  The resulting plea deals for J6ers contain years of federal prison time, compared to Camacho’s 48 Hours of Community Service.  This has ruthlessly tormented J6ers and their families.  And now, we have living proof of that.

J6er fiancé, Desiree, wrote about the stark difference on how Matthew Graves treats Camacho vs. her J6er, Barry Ramey:

The same Matthew Graves that gave Pro-Hamas Protestor Ruben Camacho 48 hours of Community Service for attacking Capitol police, wanted to put my fiancé, Barry Ramey, in prison for up to 15 years for an alleged squirt of pepper spray on January 6th, but this was only after Capitol police began firing tear gas and rubber munitions at J6 protestors while singing the National Anthem!  Mr. Graves put on him, aggravated assault with a deadly dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury and harm.  That is only 1 ½ steps below attempt of murder!

We’ve seen even lesser charges for other J6ers getting months in prison.  And Matthew Graves is leading the charge against J6ers with a heavy hand.  It’s enraging to watch Pro-Hamas Protestor receive 48 hours of Community Service for punching a Capitol officer in the face from Graves, yet J6ers are held to the fire!

Barry went to trial and was thankfully found “not guilty” of the more serious charges and found guilty of the lesser charge which he was never arguing. A clear example of an egregiously unjust approach Mr. Graves took towards my J6er fiancée vs. Pro-Hamas protestor is detailed in this side-by-side comparison showing what Barry has been through, followed by what I have been subjected to by the departments following Graves’ lead.

This doesn’t stop with Barry.  No, Mr. Graves’ approach has caused the FBI to harass me, and I was not at the Rally on January 6th.  Earlier this year Barry was told to call me from prison, to tell me to remove a post from my social media that created awareness on the outrageous legal & incarceration related expenses our family has been up against and us not being a fan of Biden.  And, if he didn’t make that call to me, he could be shipped to a max-security prison and all communication with between us would be denied (mail, email, phone & visits).

Our family still lives in a lurking fear this could still happen. But we stand strong, by the grace of God. And as Barry maintains a humor I so admire, he’s said to me, “We will never take a knee to Communism. We don’t work for the NFL.”  So, here we are looking at Mr. Graves and Mr. Camacho and painstakingly reminded this is Communism.

To date, Barry is appealing some aspects of his conviction and we are filing FOIA requests. With deep prayer and love for the Lord we are thankful we have received help from many in the community.  We are about half way to our fundraising goal which helps cover legal expense debt we have incurred, provide food & basic necessities to Barry while incarcerated and the small amount of monthly bills he left behind.

It has taken everything we have and so much more to continue this fight.  We know God is guiding us and we will not give up.  With half way to reach our goal we still need your help and appreciate all donations and prayers that have helped support this battle, thus far and yet to come.

May God bless our supporters, the J6ers, President Trump & his Family and may God Bless America!

The UK snap General Elections, set for the 4th of July, have so far turned into a continuous debacle for the Conservative Party of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

After the Premier’s blunder on D-Day, in which he left the celebration early to return to London to record an interview has turned into a major controversy, many news sites are saying that Sunak’s chances are over.

The Guardian brings a collection of headlines that illustrate this. The leftist paper itself leads with ‘Furious Tories turn on Sunak over D-day snub’, reporting that the prime minister has ‘provoked fury’.

The Express talks about the prime ministers’ apology with the headline ‘Truly Sorry!’, while The Mirror declares that ‘Sunak’s D-Day shame’ means that ‘It’s over’ for him.

Scotland’s Daily Record makes a pun with ‘war hero’ and calls Sunak ‘War Zero’ as its headline.

The FT Weekend says ‘Sunak accused of handing ‘gift’ to [Nigel Farage’s] Reform party by skipping D-Day event’.

And in the Daily Star, the headline is ‘Stupid Boy’, with a mock-up of Sunak in a scene from the old sitcom ‘Dad’s Army’.

Meanwhile, Reform UK’s Nigel Farage was declared the winner of the BBC’s seven-party debate on Friday night, according to a viewer poll.

The line-up featured a member from the ruling Conservative Party, as well as representatives from Labour, Liberal Democrats, SNP, Welsh Nationalist Plaid Cymru, Green Party and Reform’s Farage.

Bloomberg reported:

“The poll, conducted by researchers More In Common, asked more than 1,000 viewers who won the debate with 25% of those surveyed opting for Mr Farage. Among those who voted Conservative in 2019, 47% placed the Reform leader at the top of the pile.”

14% said there was no winner, and just 7% of the surveyed said Conservatives were the winner of the debate.

“Mr. Farage focused on immigration and crime throughout the debate, at one point claiming he was “on a platform tonight with six other people whose parties have been wholly unconcerned” with immigration.”

Farage said that he wanted to inject ‘some logic’ into the discussion.

“The Reform UK leader said later in the debate ‘you can go shoplifting now, any of you’, advocating for more stop and search powers while answering a question about crime allegedly rising in England and Wales by 8% since 2019.

‘You can go out and nick up to 200 quid’s worth without being prosecuted’, he said. ‘We are seeing a decline, a societal decline of law and order in this country and, frankly, government and the police forces are being too scared of what needs to be done’.”

In his closing statement, Farage urged voters to join his ‘revolt’ against the establishment.

In a recent encounter with a TMZ reporter, model and actress Amber Rose passionately defended her endorsement of former President Donald Trump, stating that she and others are “no longer brainwashed” by the left.

The Gateway Pundit reported last month that Rose sent leftists into a total meltdown when she publicly endorsed Trump in a post to her 24 million Instagram followers. Alongside a photo of herself standing with Trump and Melania at a black tie event, she wrote, “Trump 2024 [US flags emoji].”

Rose, who is also known for her activism on women’s rights issues and is the wife of rapper Wiz Khalifa, urged her followers to reassess their loyalty to the Democratic Party.

She criticized Joe Biden’s commitment to black communities and emphasized her priorities, saying, “Lmaooo yall think Biden cares about black ppl??? Sad. Do ur research. I did,” she wrote. “I’ll ALWAYS put women first.”

She further criticized the left’s stance on reproductive rights and the issue of transgender athletes competing against females in sports. “Y’all want biological men in women’s sports,” Rose continued. “Trump supports the most reasonable compromise on abortion. Stop being brainwashed cuz WE’RE ppl people of color. Make your own decisions.”

Recently, Rose was ambushed by a TMZ reporter who questioned her endorsement of Trump.

TMZ Reporter: A lot of people were shocked with your endorsement of Donald Trump. I mean, you’re all about women’s rights issues. What was the reason for the big change?

Amber Rose: Is Donald Trump not for women’s rights issues?

TMZ Reporter: I guess a lot of people were asking.

Amber Rose: He’s trying to ‘Make America Great Again.’ That’s for women, too, right?

TMZ Reporter: That’s true.

Rose’s unwavering stance continued as the conversation touched on Trump’s controversial past and legal challenges. Despite these hurdles, Rose argued that such challenges only strengthen the resolve of Trump’s supporters.

TMZ Reporter: I know. Does him getting convicted change the way you view him?

Amber Rose: No, not at all.

TMZ Reporter: I mean, do you think you’ll help his chances, like getting reelected or you’ll hurt him?

Amber Rose: I think it helps him more. Oh, it helps him more. Yeah, absolutely. I think people see the injustice and what happened, and they want to vote for him more than ever.

Rose also pointed to a broader shift in the political landscape, suggesting that more celebrities and influential figures are turning towards Trump due to disillusionment with mainstream media propaganda and Democratic failed policies.

TMZ Reporter: I know. I wanted to ask you. So it seems like a lot of celebrities are voting for Trump now. Why do you think people are changing their way of voting?

Amber Rose: I think we just did our research, and we’re not brainwashed anymore by the left. I can say that about myself. All these years, I’ve been brainwashed, and I’m not anymore. So.

Mayor Johnson spent $30,000 in one year on hair and makeup. Image: @milloydenise/Instagram

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to look good while his city burns around him.

According to election board records, Johnson spent $30,000 on hair and makeup during his first year in office.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the majority of the money went to makeup artist and self-described “skincare enthusiast” Denise Milloy’s Makeup Majic.  The business is based in a home on the city’s South Side, and records show that more than 30 payments were reported to her in 2023 and 2024.

While a campaign spokesman asserted that “Hair and makeup services are commonplace among high-ranking public officials,” Johnson appears to spend more than other elected officials.

The Sun-Times reports:

Johnson’s predecessor Lori Lightfoot paid an Evanston business about $2,000 total for “event-makeup services” listed under four expenditures last year in her campaign filings.

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle paid $217 to a South Side woman in 2019 for makeup, she reported.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s campaign fund, which he largely underwrites through his own personal fortune, has made 11 payments totaling $6,000 to a South Side beauty salon between 2018 and 2022 for “hair and makeup” for “events like TV shoots,” according to records and interviews.

Paul Vallas, who lost to Johnson in last year’s mayoral election, didn’t provide any details for hundreds of campaign expenditures beyond saying they were for “services.” But Vallas says he doesn’t think he spent anything on hair or makeup through his campaign, noting that he’s bald: “I’d like to take credit for being frugal, but nature took care of that.”

BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Spent Over $30K In Campaign Funds On Hair, Makeup In One Year.

Does the mayor think about what is happening to his city while he is getting pampered? Like the 41 shootings and 9 fatalities that happened over Memorial Day weekend, according to the Chicago Police Department.

Or the mother who lost her unborn child after being attacked by teens screaming, “We own the street!”

Is he pondering the recent Chicago’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) report warning that the city and the Chicago Police Department (CPD) are unprepared for the protestors who will descend on the city for the Democratic National Convention in August?

Or is he just making sure he looks camera-ready?

Alvin Bragg, President Trump (Getty Images); Juan Merchan (Law)

J6er Treniss Evans, through his legal advocacy group Condemned USA, filed a Supreme Court petition on Friday aimed squarely at halting the controversial New York case against former President Donald Trump.

Evans’ petition contends that allowing New York to proceed would create inconsistent interpretations of federal law across states, undermining national legal uniformity and fairness. The petition seeks an immediate stay of the trial proceedings in New York, requesting that the Supreme Court intervene to prevent further potential injustice.

Evans also requests a comprehensive review of the trial record, arguing that Trump may be entitled to a writ of habeas corpus — a fundamental safeguard against unlawful and indefinite imprisonment.

The petition invokes the Supreme Court’s ruling in Norma Jean Anderson v. Trump, which held that state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction to enforce a non-uniform version of federal law. According to Evans, the New York trial misinterprets and inconsistently applies federal campaign finance law, violating the principle of judicial estoppel established in Anderson v. Trump.

Evans alleges violations of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection and due process clauses, suggesting potential bias and selective prosecution by the New York District Attorney.

The State of New York’s attempt to prosecute Trump using federal campaign finance law is preempted by federal jurisdiction, according to Evans. He argues that since both the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to pursue the matter, it falls outside the state’s jurisdiction.

Evans claims that New York is prosecuting misdemeanor crimes beyond the statute of limitations, further alleging inconsistent application of federal campaign finance law.

The petition suggests that actions by Judge Merchan contribute to the perception of bias, undermining public confidence in the judicial process. This perceived impropriety could have long-lasting effects on public trust in our judicial system.

Finally, Evans argues that New York’s actions impact voters nationwide, warranting the Supreme Court’s intervention. This, Evans argues, undermines the democratic process and infringes upon voters’ constitutional rights.

In an X post, Evans wrote, “Supreme Court Petition FILED TODAY to stop the NEW YORK TRUMP CASE! WE THE PEOPLE ARE BEING DISENFRANCHISED AS VOTERS. Show your support for Condemned USA as we move to seek justice at the United States Supreme Court.”
