  • Texas Dems Shamelessly Lie About Having Positive COVID Tests

    Texas Dems Shamelessly Lie About Having Positive COVID Tests

    Texas Democrats staged a walkout late last week to prevent the state’s House of Representatives without a quorum to pass the bill. The walk-out, however, does not provide Democrats the ability to permanently block the legislation.

    “Today, Texas House Democrats stand united in our decision to break quorum and refuse to let the Republican-led legislature force through dangerous legislation that would trample on Texans’ freedom to vote,” a handful of Texas lawmakers said in a statement Monday.

    “We are now taking the fight to our nation’s Capital,” they added. “We are living on borrowed time in Texas. We need Congress to act now to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to protect Texans – and all Americans – from the Trump Republicans’ nationwide war on democracy.”

    Now they have decided to up the ante and claim that some of the Democrats have tested positive for Covid-19 after images of them flying in a private jet with no masks have surfaced.

    Texas State. Rep. Briscoe Cain slammed the dozens of Democrats who fled the state capital earlier this week and claimed that the positive COVID-19 tests are just a “gimmick” to avoid doing any “work.”

    “It’s disingenuous, they’re lying and they are playing games with the people of Texas,” Cain, a Republican and chair of the House Elections Committee, told Fox News.

    “I say prove it,” Cain said. “I think it’s an excuse to avoid coming back. They want a reason to do a 14-day quarantine; they don’t want to come back and do their jobs. If they really have it, prove it.”

    “Anyone that reads it,” Cain said about the controversial voting rights bill that prompted the lawmakers to flee to Washington, D.C. earlier this week citing claims that the bill would suppress voting rights, “realizes it doesn’t criminalize mistakes, it expands voting access, it expands hours, and protects our elections. That’s it.”

    Cain said that ultimately Democrats will have no choice but to return to Texas and because of their “bad faith” actions there is “no reason to negotiate with them” and he hopes the legislature can pass an even stronger bill when they return.

    Cain claimed that at least three of the fleeing lawmakers privately admitted that there was no voter suppression in the bill but left the capital anyway and publicly stated that there was.

    It is unclear when the group of Democrats is planning to return to Texas amid growing frustration from Republicans. Earlier this week, Texas’ Republican House Speaker, Dade Phelan, announced he was chartering a plane in Washington in order for Democrats to return.

    “I am demanding all of our colleagues in D.C. to contact my staff immediately in order to secure their seat on the plane and return to Austin in order to do the state’s business,” Speaker Dade Phelan said in a statement. “The State of Texas is waiting.”

  • Panelists Discuss Terrifying Possibility Of A U.S. Succession

    Panelists Discuss Terrifying Possibility Of A U.S. Succession

    A group of panelists on the Friday episode of Fox News’ “Gutfeld!” discussed what would happen if the United States broke up into smaller regions after a recent poll that indicated that a massive amount of Americans support such a measure.

    The YouGov/BrightLineWatch poll released last week showed two in three Republicans and half of independents in the South want to secede from the Union. According to the same poll, 47% of Democrats in Pacific coastal states, including Hawaii and Alaska, would be open to breaking off.

    “You know, I’m probably going to get myself in trouble for this, but would it be the worst thing?” asked Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe regarding secession. “I don’t know, I’m sick and tired of people who hate this country, I’m sick and tired of [those] who say the flag is some sort of sign of evilness or oppression, who despise the country we live in. I’m tired of the government now, you know, people like Biden want to weaponize the government against people who supported Trump.”

    “So I don’t know, would it be the worst thing?” Boothe reiterated, adding that she would want any national divorce to be peaceful.

    “I would take a little different view than Lisa on this because, you know, we did try this once and it didn’t end well,” said Bahnsen Group founder David Bahnsen. “This is what I would say. It is not one of the enumerated powers in the Constitution that — those of us on the Right care about the Bill of Rights — the states are in, they joined, and I have a bigger problem with the states that act like they already have seceded, that don’t care about flyover country, don’t care about rural America[.]”

    Bahnsen went on to explain that any modern-day secession would be very complicated because the divide does not fall along state lines as it did during the Civil War. “Secession doesn’t work because we don’t have a country divided red-state and blue-state. We have blue cities, so even within the states you would have to have mini-secessions.”

    Gutfeld went on to jokingly suggest that rural Americans could wall up the cities.

  • New Book Says Maxwell Is An Even Bigger MONSTER Than We Thought

    New Book Says Maxwell Is An Even Bigger MONSTER Than We Thought

    Virginia Roberts Giuffre will go down in history as one of Jeffery Epstein’s most vocal accusers. But we know now that he wasn’t the one running the show. It was Ghislaine Maxwell who would recruit young girls with a broken past and deliver them to a rich pedophile.

    In the new book, “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story,” written by Julie K. Brown, Giuffre describes Maxwell as a “tyrant,” and talks in-depth about the couple’s twisted relationship.  reveals

    In 2000, Maxwell spotted then 16-year-old Giuffre at the former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club and approached her asking if she was a masseuse then immediately offered her a job interview with Jeffery Epstein.

    Giuffre took her up on the opportunity and Maxwell prepped her for the session beforehand telling her that if she did a good job she would make a lot of money while traveling the world. Maxwell instructed her to start at Epstein’s feet while using “upward strokes to push the blood up his legs.”

    When she arrived at the lavish estate, Epstein and Maxwell began asking Giuffre a lot of personal questions about her background and took advantage of the fact that she had been a childhood runaway.

    “I’m a good girl. I just was always in the wrong places,” Giuffre said during the interaction.

    “It’s okay,” Jeffrey replied, according to the book telling her that he liked “naughty girls.”

    “With that, he flipped over, exposing [himself]. She looked at Maxwell for guidance, but the proper English lady was now topless. She began to undress Virginia …,” Giuffre says in the book.

    “It was an arrangement whereby she would bring him the girls, and he would give Ghislaine the kind of self-indulgent life that she was accustomed to growing up,” Giuffre says in the book.

    Giuffre explained that the couple seemed to share “a kindred hedonism” and Maxwell’s role was feeding his “obsession” with underage girls.

  • Lack Of Supplies And Workers Is Slowly Killing This Major Industry

    Lack Of Supplies And Workers Is Slowly Killing This Major Industry

    America is set for failure after industries struggle to bring back workers due to the continuation of government handouts. The United States housing market needs one million new construction workers to add to the workforce, according to one trade organization.

    Associated Builders and Contractors — a trade association that represents the non-union construction sector — stated that shortages in home-supply are accompanied by a distorted labor market for construction employees:

    Construction spending is likely to reach $1.45 trillion in 2021, up 1.3% from 2020. Under this scenario, employment demand increases by 430,000 this year from actual employment of 7,829,000 in 2020. A higher growth rate scenario could boost the number of additional construction workers needed in 2021 to nearly 1 million.

    A recent analysis from Zillow found that the average house is sold within six days of being on the market. In some major cities around the nation – such as Columbus, Cincinnati, and Kansas City – that average is only three days.

    The value of the typical American home has therefore grown by 13.2% since May 2020. Between 2020 and 2021, homeowners have observed a collective equity gain of $2 trillion.

    On the supply side, the construction of new long-term housing has slowed over the past several decades. High costs for lumber and other raw materials are adding nearly $36,000 to the price of an average new single-family home. On the demand side, Americans are moving from cities to the suburbs — in large part because of COVID-19 lockdowns.

    Meanwhile, the supply of workers is presently low due to enhanced federal unemployment handouts, which is discouraging workers — particularly in Democrat-run states that have not opted out of the payments — from finding jobs.

    Small business owners in the construction industry are feeling the impact of unprecedented demand; however, their operations are bottlenecked by the worker shortage.

  • Womanizer Billionaire Visited Jeffrey Epstein’s NYC Estate Multiple Times

    Womanizer Billionaire Visited Jeffrey Epstein’s NYC Estate Multiple Times

    New claims from a recent new book, “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story,’ has shed a dark light on the relationship of disgraced sexual predator Epstein and former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. The book claims that both billionaires showed multiple meetings at Epstien’s NYC townhome during the early 2010s, including one time where Gates stayed the night.

    According to the book, Epstein was trying to secure a deal with Gates through his charity, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, in which Epstein would help the foundation secure funds, claiming he “had connections to trillions of dollars of his clients’ money,” and reap 0.3% of “whatever money he raised,” Brown wrote, citing a 2019 New York Times report.

    “Others who worked for Gates’s foundation also visited Epstein’s mansion several times, and Epstein spoke to both Bill and Melinda Gates about a proposed charitable fund that could generate sizable fees for Epstein,” Brown wrote. “Epstein hoped to attract donations from some of his wealthy friends as part of the venture, seeded with Gates Foundation funds, that would be used for global health causes.”

    Epstein also chartered a flight for Gates on the financier’s private jet in 2013 from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach, Florida. Epstein’s estate in Palm Beach played a huge role in the billionaire’s sex trafficking ring, according to prosecutors.

    Epstein first pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008 in a case dating back to 2005.

    “Philanthropic talks” between the two billionaires went on into 2014 when Gates donated $2 million to MIT’s Media Lab “at Epstein’s behest,” Brown wrote. Soon afterward, Gates cut off ties with Epstein.

    Bridgitt Arnold, a spokeswoman for Gates told the Times in 2019 that the billionaire “regrets ever meeting with Epstein.”

    “Over time, Gates and his team realized Epstein’s capabilities and ideas were not legitimate and all contact with Epstein was discontinued,” Arnold told the Times. “Bill Gates regrets ever meeting with Epstein and recognizes it was an error in judgment to do so. Gates recognizes [sic] that entertaining Epstein’s ideas related to philanthropy gave Epstein an undeserved platform that was at odds with Gates’s personal values and the values of his foundation.”

    Gates previously downplayed his ties with Epstein, telling The Wall Street Journal in 2019 that he had met him but “didn’t have any business relationship or friendship with him.”

    Brown notes in her book that the millionaires and billionaires “who helped finance Epstein’s life of sexual violence maintain that they knew nothing about the deviant behavior exhibited by a man with whom they entrusted billions of dollars.”

  • Supreme Court Justice Gives A Grim Reason For Delaying Retirement

    Supreme Court Justice Gives A Grim Reason For Delaying Retirement

    During a TV interview, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer was asked about his impending retirement. When asked if he knew when that would be the 83-year-old said, “No.”

    Bryer, who has held his seat for over 25 years, just can’t walk away from the court and wants to want to enjoy the privileges of being the court’s highest-ranking liberal. 

    He gave two reasons that would contribute to an eventual decision: “Primarily, of course, health,” Breyer said. “Second, the court.”

    Liberals have urged Breyer to step down at the end of the court’s current term so that President Joe Biden can name a younger, liberal justice to the bench while Democrats hold a Senate majority. But Breyer told CNN that he was happy as the court’s highest-ranking liberal, saying that it had “made a difference” to him.

    Breyer has played a central role in several recent high-profile cases, from rejecting a third attempt to kill the Affordable Care Act to safeguarding student speech rights.

    He has also warned against packing the Supreme Court, warning in April that doing so could further erode Americans’ trust in it. He defended the court’s refusal to hear former President Donald Trump’s challenges to the 2020 election, noting that the “court is guided by legal principle, not politics.” 

    Breyer joined the court in 1994. He has held his position longer than any other justice except for Clarence Thomas, who was confirmed just three years earlier.

  • A Rise In Crime Could Make The Left Regret Defunding The Police

    A Rise In Crime Could Make The Left Regret Defunding The Police

    Local San Francisco businesses and their employees are desperate for change as they suffer from endless break-ins and relentless shoplifting.

    Residents of San Francisco, as well as all of California, believe that the cure all solution to their problems is changing California law Proposition 47.

    “The police are actually wonderful, their hands are tied, that’s what’s going on out here.” Gianni, a local who works in Fisherman’s Wharf, told Fox News.

    San Francisco Police Department’s Public Information Officer, Robert Rueca explained “There’s a threshold of 950 dollars that needs to be met in order for a misdemeanor to turn into a felony when it comes to theft.”

    “We have to enforce the current laws we have,” Rueca added.

    One San Francisco resident said more people are shoplifting because the law removes the fear of consequences but other locals say the problem is a lack of a strong police presence.

    “There needs to be more police,” said Maneet Sohal, a local business owner near Fisherman’s Wharf.

    “It’d be nice to have more foot patrols, more PD presence,” security guard J.C. Hernandez told Fox News.

    But the SFPD has been experiencing a shortage. “We’re about 400 officers below where we should be,” Rueca told Fox News.

    Rueca believes the SFPD’s inability to recruit officers is because of how they are portrayed in the media. People ear the fear and violence being fed to them then associate that with messages like “defund the police.”

  • The Sentencing Begins For Capitol Rioters

    The Sentencing Begins For Capitol Rioters

    Americans stormed the United States Capitol in protest during the so-called “riots” on Jan. 6. These patriots now have been rounded up and charged with felonies for their actions on that day.

    Paul Allard Hodgkins, 38, was the first person charged with a felony to be sentenced.

    During a court appearance, Hodgkins seemed to be pressured into apologizing for his patriotic actions on that day. He stated that he got merely caught up in the moment as the mob swarmed into the offices inside the Capitol to protest the election steal from Trump during the 2020 presidential election.

    “If I had any idea that the protest … would escalate (the way) it did … I would never have ventured farther than the sidewalk of Pennsylvania Avenue,” Hodgkins told the judge, The Associated Press reported. “This was a foolish decision on my part.”

    Under an agreement with prosecutors, Hodgkins pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing an official proceeding, a felony that carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence. Prosecutors argued for an 18-month sentence, saying in one court filing that Hodgkins, “like each rioter, contributed to the collective threat to democracy” by forcing lawmakers to abort the certification of the newly elected president.

    From the Associated Press:

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Mona Sedky said that, while Hodgkins didn’t engage in violence himself, he walked among many who did — in what she called “the ransacking of the People’s House.” And as he walked by smashed police barriers, he could see the smoke of tear gas and the chaos ahead of him.

    “What does he do?” she asked the court. “He walks toward it. He doesn’t walk away.”

    She added that Hodgkins was in the midst of a mob that forced lawmakers to seek shelter and some congressional staffers to hide in fear, locked in officers as hundreds swept through the building. Those in fear for their lives that day will, she said, “bear emotional scars for many years — if not forever.”

    Hodgkins was not accused of assaulting officers or damaging property, and prosecutors said he took responsibility for his actions by pleading guilty to the obstruction charge. But prosecutors also said when he boarded a bus heading to Washington, D.C., he was carrying a rope, protective goggles and latex gloves in a backpack, which they said meant he was prepared for violence.

    But his lawyer urged the judge to go easy on Hodgkins, saying his actions will haunt him for the rest of his life.

    Hodgkins’ actions on Jan. 6 “is the story of a man who for just one hour on one day lost his bearings … who made a fateful decision to follow the crowd,” said lawyer Patrick N. Leduc, who added that is a law-abiding citizen who routinely volunteered at a food bank.

  • WATCH! An Instant Dose Of Karma Sends Bad Guys Running With Their Tails Tucked

    WATCH! An Instant Dose Of Karma Sends Bad Guys Running With Their Tails Tucked

    An attempted robbery on the famous Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles was captured on video which appears to show two suspects getting out of a car and one of them pulling out a gun.

    In the video, one male and two female victims are seen in a parking lot when the two suspects approached them. Acting quickly, the male victim produces a handgun of his own firing several shots causing the suspects to hightail it out of there. 

    Police arrested and identified the two suspects as Nicholas Brown and Markeil Hayes, both of Los Angeles, and said they were both booked on attempted robbery and are currently on parole.

    “Words were apparently exchanged, and the victim ultimately produces a handgun, apparently to defend himself and others in his group from the would-be robbery suspects. The victim fired his weapon towards the suspects and then all parties immediately fled the location,” the Los Angeles Police Department recounted in a press release Tuesday.

    Brown sustained a gunshot to the upper left thigh while Hayes was shot in the right calf. Police are still searching for the third suspect and asking the public for help tracking him down.

    “The Los Angeles Police Department is aggressively addressing a rise in violent crime in the Melrose area over the past year and is pursuing all leads involved in this and other crimes,” police added in the press release.

    Across the nation, violent crimes are on the rise with homicides up 25% in L.A. Philadelphia saw the highest number of homicides this early in the year in over 10 years. This weekend alone, nearly 40 people were shot in gun-related crimes, including 3 fatalities.

  • Kamala Harris Receives New Desk Fit For A President

    Kamala Harris Receives New Desk Fit For A President

    Vice President Harris just got her own “resolute desk” and many are wondering how long will it be until Biden is replaced as president.

    Harris West Wing office in the White House was made from historic United States warships including the USS Constitution and the USS Arizona.

    The Vice President’s desk has carvings of an eagle surrounded by stars from the Constitutions’ stern which was commissioned under George Washington in 1794.

    The pen tray is a piece of the USS Arizona that was sunk by Japanese torpedo bombers at Pearl Harbor in 1941, entombing many of the soldiers trapped.

    Two desks were made, one for the Vice President and the other for the Secretary of the Navy. Both desks will be available for future vice president and navy secretaries to use.

    “It’s a huge opportunity to be a part of,” said Builder 1st Class Hilary Lemelin, who is assigned to USS Constitution, in a statement. “It’s amazing to create a desk for someone who makes such large decisions for the country and Navy knowing they’ll sit there every day is huge. The importance of their job can affect everything we do. It’s a piece of history now.”

    The two desks are now known as the “heritage desks” and are similar to the Resolute Desk which has been used by most recent presidents.

    The Resolute Desk was a given as a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford Hayes in 1880. The desk was built from oak timbers from t the British Arctic exploration ship HMS Resolute, which was found by an American whaling ship a year after it was abandoned in 1854.

    The USS Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned warship that is still afloat.

    The desk is raising eyebrows and comes just weeks after the Biden Administration announces that their official title is the “Biden-Harris” Administration which is a strong departure from history.

    “I would take from it that Vice President Harris is an important partner, she’s the first in the room and the last in the room on most occasions if she’s in town,” Psaki said, adding that it was a “reflection of the important role she will play moving forward.”
