The FBI is Investigating Drone Sightings Near President-Elect Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club.

The Hunterdon County Sheriff’s Office announced on Wednesday that recent drone sightings within the county and other parts of New Jersey are under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The unusual drone activity has sparked enough concern for Hunterdon County Commissioner John Lanza to seek a public briefing.

Lanza, the liaison to the Sheriff’s Office and Department of Public Safety, emphasized that some reports describe drones hovering over residential areas for extended periods. Meanwhile, other accounts mention drones flying in clusters, sometimes as large as eight.

Sightings of drones near President-elect Donald J. Trump’s Bedminster golf club, located just east of Hunterdon County, are especially concerning. In response to the drone incursions, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced it was implementing temporary flight restrictions in several parts of the state.

“At the request of federal security partners, the FAA published two temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) prohibiting drone flights over Picatinny Arsenal Military Base and Trump National Golf Club Bedminster,” the agency said.

“Drones are considered aircraft, and their operation is subject to strict regulations by the FAA,” Lanza noted, pointing to the potential regulatory implications. The sheriff’s office reiterated the importance of recognizing unauthorized drone use as a significant threat to public safety, privacy, and national security.

Residents are advised against interacting directly with any drones that might have experienced mechanical issues. Instead, authorities should be promptly notified to handle the situation.

Woke American Soccer Goalie Attacks Muslim Player for Refusing LGBT Indoctrination.

The decision by a top soccer team to withdraw LGBTQ rainbow jackets after a Muslim player protested has drawn criticism from a woke former player. Tim Howard, a New Jersey-born ex-goalkeeper for Manchester United, attacked his old team for deferring to current player Noussair Mazraoui, who said he would not wear an LGBTQ jacket, citing his Muslim faith. This prompted the team to abandon the jackets entirely so Maraoui would not be “isolated.”

“Any team, any organization should always do what is right. And if one player chooses not to take part, they are entitled to do that, Howard complains. However, he warns players opting out of doing “the right thing” will have “eyes on them.”

“Teams don’t have to protect players. Teams should focus on the greater good, not the beliefs of one individual,” he insists, declaring he “tend[s] to have a problem with any faith or any religion that doesn’t put human rights first.”

In common with many leftists, Howard goes on to suggest people have to agree with his social politics to be good Christians—despite Mazraoui being a Muslim—saying, “Jesus knelt beside beggars and sinners and thieves—people from all walks of life.”

While this is true, Jesus disapproved of sin—saving a woman accused of adultery from being stoned but instructing her to “sin no more,” for instance.

Multiple New Testament texts affirm that homosexuality is a sin, according to the Christian faith.

Muhammad Tops List as Most Popular Baby Boy Name in England.

Muhammad, the name of the Islamic prophet, has emerged as the most popular name for baby boys in England and Wales, surpassing Noah, according to the British government’s Office for National Statistics (ONS). In 2023, over 4,600 boys were named Muhammad, marking an increase of nearly 500 from the previous year. In contrast, the number of boys named Noah decreased to 4,382 from 4,586 in 2022. Oliver, ranking third, also experienced a slight decline.

While various spellings of Muhammad have collectively been popular for over a decade, this is the first time a single spelling has topped the list. When all alternative spellings, such as Muhammed, Mohammad, and Mohammed, are considered, the name has been the most popular for boys in England and Wales for years.

Mohammed first appeared in the top 100 rankings in 1924 and has risen steadily since the 1960s. However, Britain is not the only country that has seen a surge in popularity of the name of the Islamic prophet in recent years. In Germany, it was the most popular name for baby boys in both Berlin and Hamburg in 2023.

Even Ireland, at the western edge of Europe, has seen a rise in baby boys with the Islamic name. In 2022, it became the most popular name in the country’s fourth-largest city, Galway.

Meanwhile, in France, men named Mohammed were the most commonly arrested individuals during the riots that gripped the country following the fatal shooting of a migration-background teenager in Nanterre by police last year.

Texas Lawmakers Plan to Ban All Consumable THC Next Year.

Texas lawmakers are set to discuss a proposal aimed at banning all consumable THC products in the upcoming legislative session beginning January 14, 2025. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick announced that Senate Bill 3, which would prohibit these products, including those with low levels of THC like delta-8 and delta-9, is among his top priorities.

“We are not going to allow these retailers to circumvent the law and put Texans’ lives in danger,” the Lieutenant Governor said in a statement. “This bill will have broad bipartisan support in the Senate, and I trust the House will also see the danger of these products and pass this bill with overwhelming support so it can become law immediately.”

Although marijuana remains illegal in Texas, a 2019 law promoting agriculture allowed Texans to purchase low-level THC items such as vapes, gummies, and seltzers. Current regulations require consumable hemp products to contain no more than 0.3 percent THC. However, Patrick has expressed concerns that some products on the market exceed this legal limit.

If the proposed bill is approved, the sale of all THC products would be halted, ending the legality of buying these items in Texas. Patrick asserts that the measure is necessary to prevent retailers from exploiting the law to sell products deemed dangerous to the public. He anticipates broad bipartisan support for the bill in both the Senate and the House, emphasizing the urgency for it to become law.

This development follows a recent case involving a business named THC Club in Houston. The establishment was raided after investigators found them selling products that reportedly surpassed the legal potency limits. The business owners faced money laundering charges related to selling unlawful items.

TRUMP TRANSITION 2024/5

MSNBC’s Brzezinski Apologizes for David Frum’s ‘Flippant’ Mocking of Pete Hegseth.

Mika Brzezinski, host of MSNBC‘s Morning Joe, apologized on Wednesday following remarks made by The Atlantic‘s David Frum during an earlier segment on the program. The Canadian-American neoconservative mocked Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, referencing anonymous sources that claimed the Fox News host smelled of alcohol on set.

“Well, just given what one sees on camera, if you’re too drunk for Fox News, you’re very, very drunk indeed,” Frum said. The former George W. Bush White House speechwriter continued: “In 1989, President George H. W. Bush nominated John Tower, senator from Texas, for Secretary of Defense. Tower was a very considerable person, a real defense intellectual, someone who deeply understood defense, unlike the current nominee. It emerged that Tower had a drinking problem, and when he was drinking too much, he would make himself a nuisance or worse to women around him.”

In his critique, Frum questioned the current candidate’s qualifications for the defense role, stating that moral standards should not allow for a nominee lacking defense knowledge and leadership. Notably, Frum was forced to resign from the Bush White House after his wife publicly bragged that he was the author of the phrase “axis of evil.”

AN APOLOGY. 

Later in the broadcast, Brzezinski addressed the situation, clarifying remarks made about Fox News and Hegseth.

“And before we go to break or a little bit earlier in this block, there was a comment made about Fox News in our coverage about Pete and the growing number of allegations about his behavior over the years and possible addiction to alcohol or issues with alcohol,” Brzezinski said, continuing: “The comment was a little too flippant for this moment that we’re in. We just want to make that comment as well. We want to make that clear.”

She added: “We have differences in coverage with Fox News, and that’s a good debate that we should have often. But right now, I just want to say there’s a lot of good people that work at Fox News who care about Pete Hegseth, and we want to leave it at that.”

UnitedHealthcare CEO Targeted with Message-Laden Bullets, Officials Report.

On Wednesday morning, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in New York City. The shooter, who remains unidentified, used bullets etched with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose,” according to police. The words were found inscribed on shell casings at the scene. Authorities are investigating if these terms are connected to insurance company practices.

Some speculate the inscriptions may be linked to a book titled Delay, Deny, Defend, which argues that “to improve their profits, insurance companies delay payment of justified claims, deny payment altogether, and defend their actions by forcing claimants to enter litigation.”

Thompson, 50, was gunned down before 7 AM in a busy part of Manhattan, outside the Hilton Midtown hotel. He was scheduled to attend an investor conference there after staying at a nearby Marriott. Security cameras captured him approaching the Hilton at 6:45 AM when the masked gunman, who had been waiting, shot him in the back and leg. The assailant then escaped on a bicycle headed towards Central Park.

SUSPECT UNKNOWN.

Police have recovered three live rounds and three discharged shell casings and are continuing their search for the shooter, described as a white male in a tan jacket, black face mask, black-and-white sneakers, with a gray backpack. Additional images from a Starbucks nearby, taken 20 minutes before the shooting, were released. A source revealed the suspect paid with cash at the café. Investigators are examining forensic evidence from the Starbucks and a cellphone found near the crime scene.

No motive has been officially identified. However, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch labeled the incident “premeditated and targeted” in a press conference. Thompson’s wife mentioned receiving threats related to insurance coverage issues but lacked specific details. Public protests over coverage concerns have occurred in Minnesota, where UnitedHealthcare is headquartered and Thompson resided.

Investigations continue, with law enforcement exploring potential threats from disgruntled former employees and reviewing security footage. A reward of up to $10,000 is offered for tips leading to the suspect’s arrest and conviction. The public is encouraged to report information to Crime Stoppers or submit tips anonymously online. The investigation is ongoing.

It’s a Man’s World: Tranny Beats Women to Win Model of the Year.

A transgender-identifying man has been named Model of the Year, surpassing five female contenders at the British Fashion Awards. Alex Cosani won the title on Monday night, defeating five women, including Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell.

In his acceptance speech, the 21-year-old emphasized the alleged importance of uplifting marginalized voices. “You fought for this space that allowed me to flourish today, and I’m eternally grateful for that,” Cosani stated, calling his win a step forward.

The British Fashion Council (BFC) described the award as a recognition of a model’s global impact over the past year, including editorial and advertising contributions.

The announcement prompted varied reactions online. Some social media users questioned the fairness of a biologically male Model of the Year winner, with one commenter inquiring, “Is this fair?” Others expressed dissatisfaction with the shift in modeling standards.

Cosani has previously made headlines as one of the first biologically male transgender models on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway.

The win for Cosani comes after a number of female awards for beauty have been won by transgenders, including Kataluna Enriquez, who won Miss Nevada in 2021, and Rikkie Valerie Kollé, who won the Miss Netherlands beauty competition last year.

Transgenders in women’s sports have also been nominated for awards, including swimmer Lia Thomas, who was nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award in 2022.

Congressional Report: No Scientific Basis for Extended School Closures.

Following a two-year investigation, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released findings criticizing the extended closure of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, asserting that these measures lacked scientific justification. The subcommittee’s exhaustive 520-page report outlines failures relating to mask and vaccine mandates, as well as the suppression of certain narratives by public health officials, like natural immunity, which did not align with their policies.

The report underscores the controversial nature of extended school closures, which it claims were not backed by scientific evidence. It states that children were unlikely to significantly contribute to virus transmission, nor were they prone to severe illness. The report highlights the consequences of these closures, including historical learning loss, increased psychological stress, and reduced physical well-being for children.

According to the findings, even early on, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was unconvinced that school closures would control virus transmission. Data from Hong Kong and Singapore demonstrated no significant differences in transmission rates between regions that closed schools and those that did not. Nonetheless, by March 2020, schools nationwide were predominantly shut.

The report also reveals the involvement of political influences in public health guidance. It criticizes the CDC under the Biden-Harris government for incorporating suggestions from the American Federation of Teachers into its reopening guidance. According to the subcommittee, this political interference contributed to prolonged school closures.

Committee members also expressed concern over the lasting negative impact of these closures on students, noting significant declines in academic performance. Standardized test scores reflect a regression in skills, with low-income and minority students suffering the most. The report warns that these educational setbacks will persist as students struggle to recover and fall further behind compared to previous cohorts.

Taylor Lorenz Validates Violence Against American CEOs in Bluesky Rant.

Former Washington Post cyberstalker and COVID-19 fanatic Taylor Lorenz is now advocating for violence in response to a decision by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to limit anesthesia coverage for surgeries under certain conditions in Connecticut, New York, and Missouri. Reacting to a post on Bluesky regarding the decision, Lorenz unleashed an unhinged rant, suggesting insurance company executives should be killed. Blue Cross Blue Shield Association CEO Kim A. Keck was singled out specifically by Lorenz.

“People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering,” Lorenz wrote on the social media platform popular with leftists who fled Elon Musk’s X following President-elect Donald J. Trump’s landslide election victory. She continued: “As someone against death and suffering, I think it’s good to call out this broken system and the [people] in power who enable it.”

Lorenz became the subject of online ridicule earlier this week after posting a separate rant on Bluesky complaining about those who are no longer wearing masks or following other long-debunked unscientific COVID-19 pandemic protocols. The disgraced social media blogger accused those who prefer to breathe without masks of “raw dogging the air.”

Planning a Covid safe book launch took months and THOUSANDS of my own dollars ensuring testing, outdoor space, far UV lights, and a litany of other precautions. Meanwhile u dumbfucks are out raw dogging the air and spewing ur disease laden breath all over ur elderly neighbors. We are not the same

Soccer Team Ditches LGBT Jackets After Muslim Player Refuses to Wear His.

Premier League soccer team Manchester United opted against players wearing jackets from an LGBT activist campaign shortly before a match at Old Trafford after a Muslim player objected. Moroccan player Noussair Mazraoui said he would not don the apparel due to his religious beliefs. Mazraoui, who played 56 minutes in the game, which United won 4-0, expressed that his Muslim faith prompted his choice.

In earlier campaigns, United’s players had worn jackets symbolizing support for the LGBT agenda. This year, however, the club decided no player would wear the jacket to prevent isolating Mazraoui, 27, as the sole member of the team not participating. Adidas, responsible for producing the jackets and holding a $1.6 billion, 10-year contract as United’s kit supplier, has reportedly expressed disappointment over the decision.

Manchester United issued a statement underscoring its commitment to diversity and inclusion. The club emphasized support for its diverse fan base, including the LGBT community, while acknowledging players’ rights to personal beliefs.

The Rainbow Devils, United’s recognized LGBT supporters’ group, responded by respecting Mazraoui’s personal stance while expressing concerns over the implications for team dynamics.

In recent years, Muslims in Britain have pushed back against LGBT activists and campaigners, including in public schools. In 2019, Muslim parents led protests at schools in Birmingham, which forced other schools to stop teaching about LGBT issues.

Christian athletes who have declined to participate in LGBT campaigns, however, have been vilified, such as San Jose hockey goalie James Reimer, who declined to wear a Pride-themed jersey last year.

Soccer star Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace also faced possible disciplinary action for writing “I <3 Jesus” over his rainbow captain’s armband this week.

A Christian Toronto Blue Jays baseball player was even forced to apologize after expressing support for conservative boycotts of Target and Bud Light that were deemed anti-LGBT by critics.
