Month: July 2024

The Paris Olympic organizers are facing significant backlash after appearing to allow a reenactment of the Lord’s Supper with drag queens during the 2024 Olympics ceremony.

In the distasteful opening ceremony, a group of provocatively dressed drag queens stood behind a long table, appearing to recreate the Lord’s Supper.

A young child was also spotted in the performance standing next to the drag queens.

Per Deadline:

Harrison Butker is reacting to the Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris and is having an issue with a group of drag queens that appeared during the show.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker shared his opinion on social media after a clip of a group of drag queens channeled the Last Supper during the opening ceremony for the Olympics in Paris.

Recreating a runway to showcase the fashion Paris is known for, a group of drag queens appeared on screen positioned similarly to how Jesus and his Twelve Apostles are depicted in Leonardo da Vinci’s mural painting.

Elon Musk also chimed in and posted on X, “This was extremely disrespectful to Christians.”

Swedish company producing insects goes bankrupt due to low demand.

Klaus Scwhab’s World Economic Forum has been pushing for people to eat insects instead of meat to stop climate change. Because apparently cows are now bad for the planet and fart too much.

So a Swedish company called Tebrito has been working hard to produce mealworms for insect proteins to put in human food like granola and protein bars.

They got a whopping $4.2 million in investments to push this stuff.

And now they have gone bankrupt because it seems like nobody wants to eat their insects. In 2023 they only had a revenue of a meager $49.000 and losing almost $12.6 million!

In other words, nobody is buying their insects. Looks like people are REJECTING the WEF agenda.

And this isn’t the only thing that happened.

Last week another Swedish company called Mycorena went bankrupt. They got a whopping $27.8 million in investment to produce 3D printed fake meat made out of mycelium.

It is clear that even in liberal Sweden, people do not want to eat fake food.

I could have told you this and saved these investors their money. They invested large sums in insects and fake meat likely because it is being promoted by organizations like the WEF.

Obviously people do not want it and simply didn’t buy the fake food products. So they went bankrupt. Go woke, go broke.

But why is this stuff being pushed?

It all goes back to the UN Agenda 2030, which is basically very similar to what the WEF is pushing.

They literally say the following:

”To reach the goals and the 2030 Agenda, the way we produce food – and the types of foods we eat – must change”.

In other words, they are pushing for fake foods in order to stop climate change.

This is the reason that farmers have been under attack. Climate change is being used as an excuse to control the food supply. Because that is what it is really about.

Control the food and you can control the people.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals responded to Jack Smith’s bid to appeal Judge Cannon’s decision to dismiss the classified documents case against President Trump.

The appeals court provided a schedule that requires Trump and Jack Smith to file briefs through October, Politico reported.

Jack Smith’s chances of reviving the case will not happen before the election after all the legal briefs are filed and the court hears oral arguments.

Politico reported:

Special counsel Jack Smith’s bid to revive the classified documents case against Donald Trump appears unlikely to be resolved or even argued in court before Election Day.

Smith is appealing U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision last week to dismiss the case, in which the former president is charged with hoarding national security secrets at Mar-a-Lago after he left office. The federal court that will hear his appeal — the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals — laid out a schedule Thursday that requires Smith and Trump to file legal briefs through mid-October.

After all the briefs are in, the court will likely hear oral arguments, with a decision weeks or potentially months after that.

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday appealed Judge Cannon’s decision to toss the classified documents case to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday dismissed Jack Smith’s classified documents case based on unlawful appointment and funding of the special counsel.

The charges waged against Trump and his co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira were all tossed.

Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami in June 2023 for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate which was protected by Secret Service agents.

Trump was charged with 31 counts under the Espionage Act of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.

Judge Cannon dismissed the ENTIRE case: “The clerk is directed to close this case,” Cannon wrote.

Cannon dismissed Jack Smith’s case based on both unconstitutional elements: The appointment by US Attorney Merrick Garland and the unlimited funding given to Jack Smith – both without the approval of Congress.

“Upon careful study of the foundational challenges raised in the Motion, the Court is convinced that Special Counsel’s Smith’s prosecution of this action breaches two structural cornerstones of our constitutional scheme—the role of Congress in the appointment of constitutional officers, and the role of Congress in authorizing expenditures by law,” Cannon wrote in her order.

“Both the Appointments and Appropriations challenges as framed in the Motion raise the following threshold question: is there a statute in the United States Code that authorizes the appointment of Special Counsel Smith to conduct this prosecution?” Judge Cannon wrote. “After careful study of this seminal issue, the answer is no.”

“The bottom line is this: The Appointments Clause is a critical constitutional restriction stemming from the separation of powers, and it gives to Congress a considered role in determining the propriety of vesting appointment power for inferior officers,” the judge wrote in a 93-page filing.

“The Special Counsel’s position effectively usurps that important legislative authority, transferring it to a Head of Department, and in the process threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers,” Cannon wrote.

Former President Donald Trump has announced that he will be holding a second rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, to honor those who were shot during the assassination attempt two weeks ago.

The attempted Trump assassin fatally shot former fire chief Corey Comperatore, who was shielding his family from the bullets when he was struck.

Two other rallygoers were critically injured but survived. They have been identified as David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, PA, and James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, PA.

Trump announced the new rally in a post on Truth Social on Friday afternoon.

Trump wrote:

I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AGO. WHAT A DAY IT WILL BE — FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS.

The Republican presidential nominee did not announce where or when the rally would take place.

If Trump had not turned his head less than a second before the bullet struck his ear, it would have gone through his skull and almost certainly would have been fatal.

The failed assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was fatally shot by a counter sniper moments after shooting Trump in the ear.

A teenage YouTuber has been arrested after allegedly derailing trains in Nebraska to gain views on his YouTube channel.

The New York Post has reported a 17-year-old Nebraska teenager has been charged with two felony counts of criminal mischief after allegedly derailing trains and filming them.

On April 21, the 17-year-old uploaded a video titled “MOST INSANE VIDEO I’VE EVER TAKEN!” that featured a train in Bennet, Nebraska, being derailed.

In the video, the teen can be heard saying, “Oh my God!” as he filmed railcars being derailed.

After the derailment, the teen reported it to authorities, but authorities later obtained a search warrant to seize the teen’s cellphone and digital recorder, which led to his arrest.

Per The New York Post:

A teenager was charged this week with two felonies for allegedly derailing trains in Nebraska to film “insane” footage for YouTube.

The 17-year-old, who has not been identified because of his age, posted a 5-minute video of the April 21 derailment in Bennet, calling it the “MOST INSANE VIDEO I’VE EVER TAKEN!”

“Oh my God! Oh my frickin’ God!” he repeatedly gasped as he filmed two locomotives and five fully loaded railcars come off the rails — but remain upright — after hitting an empty one, causing $350,000 in damage.

“Are they OK?” he asks after the accident, which thankfully did not cause any injuries.

Netflix co-founder and executive chairman Reed Hastings gave $7 million to support Kamala Harris’s presidential bid.

Hastings had been in the camp calling on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race, and obviously wanted to show his approval of the switch to the vice president.

“After the depressing debate, we are in the game again,” Hastings told the tech site The Information, according to The Wrap.

The $7 million donation is his first of the 2024 presidential election cycle.

The contribution cannot go directly to the campaign, because of campaign finance laws, but it is going to a super PAC backing Harris.

Hastings hesitated supporting Harris initially, posting Sunday on X after Biden stepped aside, “Dem delegates need to pick a swing state winner.”

Dem delegates need to pick a swing state winner.

— Reed Hastings (@reedhastings) July 21, 2024

But by the next day he had changed his tune, writing, “Congrats to Kamala Harris — now it is time to win.”

While Hastings stepped down as CEO of Netflix last year, he is still executive chairman and drawing a nice big salary paid for by subscribers to the service.

In 2023, Variety reported that in his new position Hastings is eligible for a $500,000 base salary, plus $2.5 million in stock options.

And a healthy subscriber base means a good stock price. As of Thursday’s close, it was valued at about $636 per share.

So indirectly, Netflix subscribers are enabling Hastings to write his $7 million check to Harris.

Worth noting: She was deemed the most liberal U.S. senator prior to becoming vice president.

And while serving as vice president, and thereby president of the Senate, she cast the tie-breaking vote in order to pass the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March 2021 and the misnamed $1 trillion-plus Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022.

In a February 2021 opinion piece for The Washington Post, former Clinton administration Treasury Secretary Larry Summers wrote that passing the American Rescue Plan as the economy was already well on its way to recovery would “set off inflationary pressures of a kind we have not seen in a generation, with consequences for the value of the dollar and financial stability.”

After it passed in March, Summers called it “the least responsible macroeconomic policy we’ve had in the last 40 years.”

Former Obama administration Treasury Department official Steven Rattner in a November 2021 article for The New York Times identified the American Rescue Plan as the “original sin” leading to a 40-year high inflation rate Americans are still feeling the effects of now.

Hastings does not feel the negative financial impact of the Biden-Harris agenda, but most Americans do.

The current fiscal path the nation is on is unsustainable and will lead to more inflation. Americans will then have to cut discretionary expenses like Netflix to get by.

So if Hastings cared at all about the future of his company, he would never have cut a $7 million check to Harris.

Donald Trump and the Republicans offer the best chance to get this nation back on a sustainable, prosperous track.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has warned the Supreme Court not to intervene in the sham hush-money case against Donald Trump.

Her warning comes after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican, petitioned the Supreme Court for permission to file a complaint against the state of New York that would delay Trump’s September sentencing hearing and lift all his speech restrictions on the case.

Bailey argued that these restrictions represent an infringment on the right of Missourians to hear from prospective presidential candidates.

BREAKING: New York is doubling down in its quest to interfere in the 2024 presidential election and jail President Trump.

Today, Letitia James asked the Supreme Court to allow New York to continue with its lawfare.

Deplorable – and illegal.

See you in court, @NewYorkStateAG pic.twitter.com/8P2gRKtNC5

— Attorney General Andrew Bailey (@AGAndrewBailey) July 25, 2024

James, who played an integral role in Trump’s sham conviction over alleged hush money payments made to porn actress Stormy Daniels, has urged the Supreme Court to reject his request.

In a legal filing, James said that a Supreme Court ruling in Trump’s favor would “seriously undermine the integrity of the courts and risks setting a dangerous precedent that encourages a flood of similar, unmeritorious litigation.”

“Allowing Missouri to file this suit for such relief against New York would permit an extraordinary and dangerous end-run around former President Trump’s ongoing state court proceedings and the statutory limitations on this Court’s jurisdiction to review state court decisions,” she wrote.

“The potential sentence and speech restrictions may prove no obstacle to the interests of people who wish to hear from former President Trump,” James continued.

Earlier this month, email leaks revealed that James had coordinated with the Biden regime’s Department of Justice to help plan their lawfare campaign against the former president.

Speaking to MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Thursday, James confirmed she is now focused on helping Kamala Harris defeat Donald Trump.

“I’m focused at this point in time on securing the nomination for Vice President Harris, and then ultimately getting her elected,” she said when asked whether she wanted a job in a potential administration.

“That is my singular focus at this point in time, and continuing to stand up for the rule of law and representing the citizens of the great state of New York, as we do each and every day.”

Just hours before the highly anticipated opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, vandals set fire to several high-speed rail lines, causing widespread disruption across France. The attacks occurred early on July 26, affecting thousands of commuters and tourists traveling to the capital for the event.

The targeted sabotage primarily hit the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) network, renowned for its efficiency and speed, connecting major cities across France and Europe. The incidents resulted in significant delays and cancellations, stranding many travelers who had planned to attend the opening festivities​.

Authorities have launched a full-scale investigation to identify and apprehend the culprits. The motive behind these coordinated attacks remains unclear, but officials suspect it could be linked to political dissent or attempts to undermine the Olympics, a major international event bringing together athletes and spectators from around the world.

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the acts of vandalism, labeling them as “an attack on national infrastructure and an attempt to disrupt a moment of unity and celebration for our country.” He assured the public that security measures would be heightened to prevent further incidents and ensure the safety of the ongoing Olympic events.

The French National Railway Company (SNCF) reported that emergency response teams were quickly dispatched to the affected areas to assess and repair the damage. Despite their efforts, the disruption was substantial, affecting several key routes including those between Paris and other major cities like Lyon and Bordeaux. The high-speed TGV trains, which operate at speeds up to 320 km/h (199 mph), are a critical part of France’s transportation infrastructure, making the impact of these attacks particularly severe​​.

Passengers expressed frustration and concern over the delays. Many had to seek alternative transportation or were forced to miss the opening ceremony altogether. One traveler remarked, “It’s disappointing and frustrating. We came to celebrate the Olympics and now our plans are in chaos.”

The Paris 2024 Olympic Committee reassured attendees that all necessary precautions were being taken to maintain security and minimize further disruptions. The opening ceremony, held along the River Seine, proceeded as scheduled, showcasing France’s cultural heritage and marking the official start of the Games​.

This incident underscores the vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure and the challenges faced in securing large-scale international events. As investigations continue, the focus remains on ensuring the safety and smooth operation of the Olympic Games, which run from July 26 to August 11.

On July 25, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a damning report revealing an additional $2 billion in accounting errors related to the Pentagon’s aid to Ukraine.

This discovery compounds the $6.2 billion overestimation previously disclosed, bringing the total to an alarming $8.2 billion in misallocated funds.

The discrepancies arose from the Pentagon’s use of “replacement value” instead of “depreciated value” in calculating the aid provided under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA). The PDA, authorized by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, allows the President to direct the transfer of defense articles and services from U.S. stocks to address foreign crises. Since August 2021, this authority has enabled nearly $24 billion in drawdowns for Ukraine.

In 2023, the Department of Defense (DOD) acknowledged that it had misvalued certain defense articles by approximately $6.2 billion. This amount, still available for use under PDA, was a major issue highlighted by the GAO. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 mandated the GAO to audit and investigate the valuation of defense articles provided to Ukraine.

The recent GAO report scrutinized the methods used by the DOD to value these articles and found that the existing guidance was inconsistent and insufficient.

The GAO’s investigation uncovered that approximately 12 percent of defense articles provided under PDA were valued using methods not in compliance with DOD guidance. Additionally, about 61 percent of the reported values lacked appropriate supporting documentation, making it difficult to verify their accuracy.

The report indicates that the Foreign Assistance Act does not clearly define key terms such as “value,” which complicates the DOD’s ability to establish precise valuation methods.

To address these issues, the GAO has recommended that Congress consider clarifying the definition of “value” in relation to PDA and that the DOD update its guidance to include specific valuation procedures for PDA.

The DOD has concurred with these recommendations and outlined actions to rectify the deficiencies.

The continued revelation of these errors raise critical questions about where the misallocated funds have gone. As the U.S. government struggles to manage its expenditures, the substantial overestimations in aid funding underscore the need for greater accountability and precision in financial reporting.

The mismanagement of these taxpayer dollars not only represents a failure in fiscal responsibility but also comes at a time when many Americans are facing economic difficulties.
