The bright red alarm is clearly marked with the word “FIRE” and is right next to two signs that provide explicit details on how to open the emergency door at the Cannon House Office Building, photos show. “Emergency Exit Only!” the signs read. “Push until alarm sounds (3 seconds). Door will unlock in 30 seconds.” The strident socialist New York lawmaker, whose gaffe was caught on surveillance video, simply needed to turn his head to the right to see the blaring signs.
“Jamaal Bowman must be treated exactly the same as Jan 6 defendants. He was a school principal,” Greene posted on X. “He knows exactly what pulling a fire alarm means. He did it while the Dems were trying to stall for time for the Senate and the Dem whip had just called for a motion to adjourn.”
January of this year the Biden Department of Homeland Security began implementing the cornerstone of its current strategy: a series of new “lawful pathways” measures designed to decrease the historically high crowds at the southern border before they become a political problem. The DHS cajoles tens of thousands of intending illegal border-crossers per month to instead go on the CBP One smartphone application, and make an appointment with US officials at land ports of entry instead of crossing illegally. After making an appointment, DHS invites these inadmissible aliens to walk over to the American side at the land ports, where US Customs officials quickly “parole” them in, allowing them to travel to a city of their choice in the nation’s interior.
But one of the least noticed, mysterious and potentially most controversial of the new re-channeling programs that use the CBP One app allows migrants to take commercial passenger flights from foreign countries straight to their American cities of choice, flying right over the border and even over Mexico.
For this measure, Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Haitians and Colombians request “advance travel authorizations” through the same CBP One mobile app and take commercial flights (“at their own expense”) directly into US airports, where US Customs officers parole them into the nation, sight unseen, and in numbers publicly unknown. Biden officials have rarely, if ever, spoken of this flight program in the year since implementing it, perhaps mindful of the political outcry over the late-night “ghost flights” that DHS stealthily arranges to ferry migrant children into various airports.
But records show that between late October 2022 and mid-September 2023, the administration approved a total of 221,456 Venezuelans, Haitians, Cubans and Nicaraguans for “travel mode: air.” The Biden administration did not release the numbers of Colombians or Ukrainians approved to use the direct-flight parole program, meaning the number is even higher. And recently, the administration added Hondurans, El Salvadorans and Guatemalans to the direct-flight program. CBP has redacted and withheld the locations of the 43 interior ports of entry that have been utilized by this direct-flight program, claiming its release would harm law-enforcement techniques or procedures.
The administration has proven reluctant to provide any meaningful data about its vaunted CBP One-based border strategy, which allows mass parole of inadmissible aliens who would otherwise cross illegally. The limited data that was released about the direct flights shows that, of the four nationalities, Haitians flew into US airports in the greatest numbers from January through mid-September, a total of 76,582. These Haitians favored one redacted airport — some 47,768 flew into that airport. Among Venezuelans, 63,360 flew into 43 airports — but 39,474 of them into one preferred airport.
Some 46,794 Cubans flew into 41 airports, yet the majority of them, 33,355, favored one in particular. It’s likely that the preferred airport in all these cases was Miami, but we won’t know for sure unless CBP provides the unredacted information.
Conservative media, however, opted to associate the cocaine found to the president’s son Hunter Biden, who has had a history of drug use, despite there being as they said "no such links" just pure dumb luck I guess? LOL That's some luck Hunter is there and so is "cocaine" I mean COME ON! Oh man this sort of comedy doesn't write itself folks...
Neither Hunter nor Joe Biden were at the White House that day so they claim as normal the media turned this into a chance to try and involve President Trump by saying that "meanwhile Trump, lashed out at the media for its coverage" because he questioned: “Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden.” One source close to the administration, however, said it was handling the situation “very well.”
“It’s all political fodder right now, political bull s***,” the source said. LMAO! “I think it’s comical. Of course, you’re going to do what you need to do. Any time the opposition has a way to lean in and provide some type of antidote or response that’s going to get people wired up (Good... Nice choice of word there "Wired" when dealing with cocaine! HA!) they’re going to do so,” the source added.
When asked about Trump’s comments, the White House hammered into the president’s top political rival. “I have noticed there does seem to be some increasing frustration coming from that corner in general and I think it is probably rooted in the contrast between their substantive policy efforts,” said White House spokesman Andrew Bates. “There is a long list of areas where this administration succeeded for the middle class where our predecessor did not.”
Bates then tried to bring the conversation back to what the White House wants to focus on, namely their “Bidenomics” agenda that they have pushed out for the last two weeks. Which is laughable since it's all build on lies. So let's keep over looking the Biden's drug use and keep with more lies? OK!
The questions came as the president was headed to South Carolina for a speech on the economy and his investments in clean energy. On Wednesday, the president met with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson at the White House in a show of support for Sweden joining NATO by the deadline of the summit next week.
The White House has stressed that they are taking the investigation seriously but that it is in the hands of the Secret Service. The White House did not respond to a request for comment about whether dealing with the discovery of cocaine is distracting from other topics. “I respect there’s interest in this,” Bates told reporters Thursday.
Jean-Pierre repeatedly noted Wednesday that the drugs were found in a highly traveled area of the White House and that the president and his family including Hunter Biden were at Camp David at the time.
But even by Thursday, drawing such a conclusion kept the chatter going. Trump’s former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany broke with her former boss, saying there is “no way” the cocaine belonged to the younger Biden considering he wasn’t at the White House.
“There is no way, it is inconceivable to think cocaine could sit for a 72-hour period [at The White House], so I would rule him out at this point,” she said Thursday on Fox. Which she is wrong if he left it behind 3 days before and let's say he hid it somewhere to not have it on him but forgot to go get it as he left which is often the case with Hunter and leaving things he forgets about when high. LIKE A LAPTOP! I mean has she learned NOTHING from Hunter? She's proving to be some what Naïve in this matter. As coke/crackheads have lapses in memory and often forget where they stash something in emergency.
But wait there is more! Check out this video from FOX!
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) responded to the incident by writing a letter to the Secret Service, demanding details on whether anyone has access to the White House complex without passing through security and if the Secret Service has encountered illegal drugs in the past five years. House Republicans have already launched probes into Hunter Biden and whether he got preferential treatment during the investigation into his failure to pay taxes, and the GOP are likely to keep hammering away at the incident when they return to Washington next week.
Amid the public focus on the cocaine situation, Biden allies argue that the White House is doing the right thing by letting the Secret Service handle it. Because they done a great job so far by letting it get past them to start with right? Lol “Every president has faced a host of embarrassing events for which they’ve had no control. This just happens to be one such event,” said former Rep. Chris Carney (D-Pa.).
Conservative media has used Hunter Biden’s frequent appearances at high-profile events at the White House as well as his traveling with the president as part of the argument for why the cocaine may have belonged to him. Biden allies say that connection was inevitable no matter the circumstances.
“I’m not sure there’s anything anybody could say who would prevent the conservative social media world from being whipped into this frenzy. No facts matter to them so what does one say,” said the Democratic strategist and aide in a previous administration. “Regardless of what the investigation shows at the end of the day, there are those who come from that world who will say something is being covered up.”
The White House has dodged questions over how transparent they would be about any conclusions to the investigation or if the culprit could ever be determined, exposing Biden to further GOP attacks as he heads into 2024. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who is trailing Trump in the Republican presidential primary, took a jab at Biden over the situation, but left his son Hunter Biden out of his remarks. “I’ve long believed, I think a lot of us have believed that the Biden administration’s been blowing it on a lot of fronts,” the presidential hopeful said. “But I guess it’s a little bit more literal than even I had thought.”
Now let's take a look back two years back when TRUMP suggested that Biden's performance was enhanced, and asked for him to get drug tested before the debates... Wonder how much of the drug use of Biden Trump knows but watch these videos below.
Finally Prosecutors speak on the case with Matt Gaetz and as it turns out they will not recommend charging GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz in the Justice Department’s investigation into if the Florida congressman violated federal sex-trafficking laws, according to The Washington Post.
Citing anonymous sources, The Post reported that prosecutors were concerned with the credibility of two key witnesses and think they’d be unlikely to secure a conviction if they indicted Gaetz. Justice Department officials typically take the advice of career prosecutors but haven’t made a final decision on the matter yet, the report said.
According to NBC News, prosecutors were examining if the congressman committed three separate crimes: if he sex-trafficked a 17-year-old; if he violated the Mann Act, which prohibits the transportation of “any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose” across state lines; and if he obstructed justice.
The existence of the investigation first became public last year, when The New York Times reported that investigators were examining if Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old in 2019 and paid for her to travel with him.
One person familiar with the conversations told The Times that Gaetz told some women to say that he paid for dinners and hotel rooms as part of their dates if anyone asked about the nature of their relationships. The FBI executed a search warrant in late 2020 and seized Gaetz’s cell phone, as well as a phone belonging to his former girlfriend, who testified before a federal grand jury earlier this year. Matt Gaetz has denied wrongdoing and said last year that the allegations were part of an “organized criminal extortion” scheme against him. Last month, the Florida businessman Stephen Alford was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to attempting to extort Gaetz and his father for $25 million.
“Those who told lies about Congressman Matt Gaetz are going to prison, and Congressman Matt Gaetz is going back to Congress to continue fighting for America,” a spokesperson for Gaetz’s office told Insider.
Trump vowed revenge for Cheney’s vote last year to impeach him and her work on the House committee investigating him. Neither endeared her to GOP voters in the state. Now she’s on her way out! Rino Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., a onetime House GOP leader and a daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, was ousted in a Republican primary Tuesday night, NBC News projects. Former President Donald Trump’s name wasn’t on the ballot, but his shadow eclipsed the contest as he sought revenge for Cheney’s vote last year to impeach him and her work on the committee investigating his behavior leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. His hand-picked challenger, Harriet Hageman, defeated Cheney in a multi-candidate race.
With 80% of the vote counted before midnight, Hageman was leading Cheney by more than 32 points. But the result didn’t put an end to hostilities between Trump and Cheney. Instead, she vowed to escalate them. “This primary election is over,” Cheney told her supporters, drawing a clear contrast between her acceptance of the outcome and Trump’s ongoing refusal to admit he lost the 2020 election. “But now the real work begins.”
Without elaborating on specific plans for her future, she emphasized that Trump, who is likely to seek the presidency again in 2024, is at the center of them. “We must be very clear-eyed about the threat we face,” she said, repeating a previous pledge to “do whatever it takes to ensure that Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office.”
In congratulating Hageman, Trump swiped at Cheney in a message posted on his Truth Social media platform late Tuesday.
“This is a wonderful result for America, and a complete rebuke of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs,” he wrote, referring to the House committee investigating Jan. 6. “Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others. Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now.”
Hageman, in her victory speech, said the result showed that Republicans will “hold our elected officials accountable for their actions” — an allusion to Cheney’s tangles with Trump. “What Wyoming has shown today is that, while it may not be easy, we can dislodge entrenched politicians who believe they’ve risen above the people they are supposed to represent,” Hageman told her supporters. On one level, Wyoming is all but certain to trade out one Republican congresswoman for another in November. But this particular race proved an epic clash between the new and old establishments of the Republican Party, as well as competing visions of the future of the GOP and the republic.
With her parents in the audience, Cheney spoke about her deep ties to the Republican Party but said, “I love my country more.” Cheney’s battles with Trump cost her her spot in House Republican leadership last year and now her seat, but it also provided her with an elevated platform, a monster fundraising profile and the respect of some Democrats who reviled her father.
The split-screen images of Cheney — losing popularity at home, while her profile rose nationally — have sparked questions about whether she will seek the presidency or slip into another role that keeps her at the forefront of the bipartisan anti-Trump set.
In her concession speech, Cheney compared herself to Abraham Lincoln, a Republican who lost a Senate race before he won the presidency, ended slavery and won the Civil War. Cheney is the final Republican to fall to a Trump-backed primary challenger after having voted to impeach him. Four of the 10 opted to retire, three have already lost primaries, and two survived primaries. In one of those two contests, Trump didn’t endorse a challenger. Unbowed by her loss, she compared Trump’s attacks on federal law enforcement after last week’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home to his actions before Jan. 6. “Donald Trump knows that voicing these conspiracies will provoke violence and threats of violence,” she said. “It is entirely foreseeable that the violence will escalate further.”
Raymond Allen Liotta was an American actor and producer. Best knowned as Ray Liotta just left us. No joke he was my dads favorite actor or top 4 easy. A Very underrated actor. Who could play any part givn to him.
He was known for playing Shoeless Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams, Henry Hill in Goodfellas, and Tommy Vercetti in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Liotta married actress and producer Michelle Grace in February 1997 after they had met at a baseball game, where her former husband Mark Grace was playing for the Chicago Cubs.
The couple had a daughter, Karsen, before divorcing in 2004. On an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, Liotta revealed that Nancy and Tina Sinatra, daughters of Frank Sinatra, once sent Liotta a horse’s head in the mail. The joke was in response to Liotta demurring to play their late father in a miniseries they were working on, only to see Liotta play him in the 1998 HBO television film The Rat Pack.
In February 2007, he was charged for driving under the influence after crashing his Cadillac Escalade into two parked vehicles in Pacific Palisades. He pleaded no contest. From his experience shooting the Western Texas Rising, Liotta continued horseback riding and said in September 2014: “I was obsessed with riding horses [on the show]. I love it now.
I’ve never had a hobby. It might be my new hobby.”
In 2018, discussing his role alongside Jennifer Lopez as a crooked cop targeted by the FBI in the NBC crime drama Shades of Blue, Liotta told a reporter for Long Island Weekly: You want to do as many different genres as you can and that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve done movies with the Muppets. I did Sinatra. I did good guys and bad guys. I did a movie with an elephant. I decided that I was here to try different parts and do different things. That’s what it’s really all about. That’s what a career should be.
I got to produce a few shows with Dennis & Rick which he was on for our network PSN RADIO over a decade ago and as he was a great guest on Unraveling the Secrets and a real nice guy off air… Neal Adams was a professional graphics artist, illustrator, and cutting edge animator extraordinaire who has and will continue to make graphic novel and comic book history. For this special Unraveling the Secrets, however, Neal describes the “growing earth”. The tectonic plates theory doesn’t add up (literally) and Neal has a working alternative. He’s not the only one to come up with this, either. Australian geologist James Maxlow also found that only an expanding earth could make all the puzzle pieces fit. Neal made some animations to explain the theory and those animations are compelling. For this topic, seeing is believing, so please watch this You Tube:
RIP Mr. Adams
