Perry Johnson, Whoever That Is, Beats Mike Pence to RNC Debate Threshold.

Someone called Perry Johnson has announced his qualification for the donor threshold required for first Republican presidential primary debate later this month, ahead of candidates such as Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and even former Vice-President Mike Pence.

Johnson, who is actually a businessman who recruited the majority of his donors by selling “I stand with Tucker” t-shirts for $1, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce his qualification, posting:

“We reached a critical campaign milestone. Today, in New Hampshire, I announced we reached the 40,000 donors needed to make the RNC debate stage.”

Johnson has so far raised around $67,000 and has contributed over $328,000 of his own money towards his presidential campaign. Yet, he has not been able to make an impact in the polls, consistently bringing in less than one percent of the vote.

He previously tried to run in the 2022 Michigan gubernatorial race, but fell short after he failed to meet the necessary 15,000 signatory threshold to appear on the ballot. Officials at the Michigan elections bureau discarded a whopping 6,983 of Johnson’s signatures after it was suspected that they were “fraudulent” – an action that Johnson claims violated his rights. He was one of five GOP candidates removed from the race that year.

Johnson is one of eight candidates to pass the threshold for the RNC debate, including former President Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie, and Doug Burgum. Mike Pence, however, is struggling to reach the threshold, admitting in a recent CNN interview, “We’re not there yet.” He claims to have amassed over 30,000 so far.

Chris Christie Went to Ukraine But No One Cares.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made an unannounced visit to Ukraine this week, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. While touring the region around the capitol city Kiev, Christie told the Ukrainian president, “There are hundreds of millions of people in our country who support you.”

At home in the United States, public opinion appears to be turning against the Biden regime and continued financial and material support for Ukraine. Recent polling suggests over 55 percent of Americans now oppose sending more aid to the Ukrainians – hardly hundreds-of-millions.

The continued stalemate in Ukraine has seen even its Western European allies become increasingly frustrated with the lack an effective counter-offensive against Russian defensive positions. To compound matters for the Ukrainians, President Zelensky’s habit of making aggressive demands for financial and military support has rankled even Poland.

Continued support for Ukraine is one area where presidential hopeful Chris Christie hopes to be able to draw a contrast with the dominant GOP front-runner, former President Donald Trump. Christie has thrown his full weight behind continued U.S. funding and support for the Ukrainian military, while Trump has called for Ukraine and Russia to come to the negotiating table to bring about a swift end to the bloodshed and loss of innocent civilian lives.

With polling showing upwards of 70 percent of GOP voters want the U.S. to focus less on overseas conflicts and the former New Jersey governor consistently hovering in the single digits in the GOP primary one must ask: does anyone actually care that Chris Christie went to Ukraine?

Pfizer Reveals Special Batches of Vaccine Imported for Its Staff.

Representatives of Pfizer Inc. have confirmed at an Australian Senate hearing that Pfizer staff used their own batch of specially imported vaccines during the coronavirus pandemic, separate from the stocks used by the general public.

“We’ve read that your [employee] vaccine mandate was using your own batch of vaccine especially imported for Pfizer, which was not tested by the TGA,” said Senator Malcolm Roberts of the populist One Nation party, referring to the Therapeutic Goods Administration which regulates medicines in Australia.

“Is that correct?” he asked.

“Uh, Senator, so, Pfizer undertook to import a batch of vaccines especially for the employee vaccination program, and that was so that no vaccine would be taken from government stocks that was being delivered to clinics as needed,” one of the Pfizer representatives confirmed.

Asked if they fired anyone who “refused to take the injection,” the Pfizer representatives prevaricated, but eventually confirmed that “a small number of colleagues departed the company,” and further confirmed that they continue to enforce a vaccine mandate against employees in Australia to the present day.

They refused to discuss details of the indemnity they were granted by the Australian government, including whether or not it would be negated if they were found to have to have “committed a crime such as fraudulent treatment of trial data,” insisting all their indemnity agreements worldwide were confidential.

One of the Pfizer representatives did say that the pharma corporation “always abides by all of the laws and regulations of the markets in which it is operates,” but this is factually inaccurate, with the company having paid massive fines in the United States for illegally promoting drugs and causing false claims to be submitted to government health care programs, for example.

NYT’s NeverTrumper Asks if Globalists Are in Fact the ‘Bad Guys’.

New York Times NeverTrumper columnist David Brooks published a rare, self-reflective column this week asserting that he and our America’s political, corporate, and media elite may in fact actually be the “Bad Guys.”

Brooks’s column is served up with his usual overbearing degree of pseudo-moralistic handwringing, lamenting the overlooked virtues of the American elite and the dangers of Donald Trump. But buried in its verbosity is a recognition that the U.S. elite have enriched themselves at the expense of Americans middle and working classes:

Armed with all kinds of economic, cultural and political power, we support policies that help ourselves. Free trade makes the products we buy cheaper, and our jobs are unlikely to be moved to China. Open immigration makes our service staff cheaper, but new, less-educated immigrants aren’t likely to put downward pressure on our wages.

The column goes on to point out that the elites’ social libertinism has resulted in the breakdown of the American family with an increased rate of divorce and out-of-wedlock births among the non-elite classes. It should be noted that in 2013, David Brooks divorced his wife of twenty-seven years, Jane ‘Sarah’ Hughes. In 2017 David Brooks married his research assistant Anne Snyder. She was 32 at the time, Brooks was 55.

The reaction to Brooks’s column has varied on social media. The neoliberal Tax Foundation’s Alan Cole, a self-described neoliberal, perhaps unintentionally re-enforced the thrust of the columns complaint in a thread on X (formerly Twitter): “Mentioning Trump support invites a comparison that makes it easy to diminish the examples raised. Lots of readers will say “sure, some of these things are bad, but Trump is far worse.”

Glenn Greenwald noted that Brooks is correct that the elite media focus on cultural and ethnic newsroom diversity has come at the expense of economic diversity in the newsroom, making our media blind to the experience of the American working class. And perhaps as expected, famed American writer and unhinged social media liberal Joyce Carol Oates posted: “[T]hat David Brooks column in which a handwringing pretend-liberal blames liberal “elites” like himself for the racism, misogyny, anti-intellectual, anti-science, anti-education bigotry of T***p followers like a mugging victim blaming himself for being mugged.”

Murdoch’s Times Hides Trump Judge’s BLM History in Perfunctory Coverage.

The Rupert Murdoch-owned Times of London has glossed over the partisan political background of Tanya Sue Chutkan, the judge assigned to Donald Trump’s latest indictment, in a suspiciously cursory profile.

While noting she has been unusually harsh on Jan 6 defendants, handing down prison sentences to all 38 who have come before her – “some of them longer than requested by prosecutors” – the newspaper neglected to mention her clear double standards with respect to Black Lives Matter rioters.

While jailing one Jan 6 defendant, despite prosecutors not asking for a prison sentence, she raged that it was outrageous “to compare the actions of people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights” during the Black Lives Matter disorder in 2020 to Trump supporters “trying to overthrow the government” in 2021.

This was not the only suspect omission by The Times, which also noted that Jamaica-born Chutkan had been appointed by Barack Obama while failing to mention she was one of his political donors.

The report did claim that, during one Jan 6 sentence hearing in 2021, she said it is “not patriotism, it is not standing up for America, to stand up for one man – who knows full well that he lost – instead of the constitution he was trying to subvert.”

The Times did not question whether she should recuse herself from Trump’s case in light of this, however.

UK Claims 1-in-4 Chance of a ‘Catastrophic’ Pandemic Within 5 Years

The British government claims there is a one-in-four chance another pandemic will occur in the next five years, hospitalizing around 1.34 million Britons and killing up to 840,000 in a “reasonable worst-case scenario” – unless a new vaccine is produced.

While over a century passed between the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 and the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, British officials believe there is a good chance the next one will come along suspiciously quickly, outlining their concerns in the National Risk Register report to the Cabinet Office.

“[W]e need to be more open than ever about the risks we face,” wrote Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden in the foreword to the report.

“Government cannot tackle these challenges alone; due to our increasingly complex and interconnected world, all of society needs to work together to strengthen our defences and build a more resilient nation,” he insisted.

The report says the next pandemic “may come in single or multiple waves” depending on a variety of factors including “public behavior,” adding that it “may lead to behaviour changes in the population depending on the nature of the disease and the Government’s response.”

DeSantis’s Largest Donor Says He’s Done Unless There’s ANOTHER Shake-Up.

Billionaire Robert Bigelow is telling Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his campaign that he’ll cut off funds unless there are further changes made to the beleaguered and amateurish campaign.

Bigelow, a hotel tycoon and founder of Bigelow Aerospace is the largest single donor to The pro-DeSantis super PAC, ‘Never Back Down’, with over $20 million given. The billionaire UFO enthusiast had harsh words for the campaign when asked if he’d continue his financial support:

“Not until I see that he’s able to generate more on his own. I’m already too big a percentage… A lot of his donors are still on the fence.” Bigelow said, adding: “He does need to shift to get to moderates. He’ll lose if he doesn’t.”

Gov. DeSantis’s campaign has suffered numerous gaffes and scandals over the past several weeks including the firing of a campaign speech writer who created pro-DeSantis video featuring Nazi imagery, revelations that consultant Jeff Roe’s nebulous network of companies have been the recipients of nearly 50 percent of Never Back Down’s campaign spending, and a leak of campaign communications exposing a reckless and alienating communications strategy. Additionally the DeSantis campaign has struggled to attract small donors, and has either stagnated in state primary polls or seen their numbers completely collapse with other Republican candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy over taking the Florida Governor.

Bigelow – a friend and donor to the late Nevada Democrat and former U.S. Senator Harry Reid – isn’t the first DeSantis support to sound the alarm on the languishing presidential campaign. Ed Rollins, a long-time Republican political strategist and early supporter of the governor, has jumped ship calling DeSantis a ‘flawed candidate’.

This latest blow to Ron DeSantis’s presidential ambitions is sure to only further fuel rumors on social media that long-time DeSantis ally and campaign manager Generra Peck may be on her way out, along with much of the beleaguered communications team – including senior staffers Bryan Griffin, Jeremy Redfern, and Christina Pushaw (a registered foreign agent representing disgraced ex Georgian/Ukrainian politician Mikheil Saakashvili).

Georgia Cops Will Take Mugshot of Trump If 4th Indictment Occurs.

A sheriff in Fulton County, Georgia, has announced that his department is preparing for the possibility of another criminal indictment of Donald Trump, telling a local news outlet that he will have “a mugshot ready” for the former President.

Sheriff Patrick “Pat” Labat made it clear that Trump would be treated “like anyone else accused of a crime” if he is indicted by a grand jury in the state, including having to give his fingerprints. He explained that his department is studying the indictments and arraignments in New York, Miami, and Washington D.C., anticipating that the same will occur in Georgia. He added:

“Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you.”

Sheriff Labat ran for the county sheriff position as a Democrat and has contributed to Georgia-based Democratic candidates, according to OpenSecrets. In July last year, he donated $500 to US House of Representatives Member Nikema Williams and donated another $500 to local Democrat politician William Boddie Jr.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Williams said the decision on whether President Trump will be charged in Georgia will be announced between now and September this year.

Obama Had Gay Sex Fantasies, Reveals Biographer.

Former President Barack Obama had gay sex fantasies, according to his biographer, historian David Garrow. The news came during an interview about Garrow’s book, Rising Star, which includes love letters from Obama’s ex-girlfriends that reveal, among other things, the 44th president fantasising about having sex with other men.

In the interview, Garrow explains:

With Alex [McNear, Obama’s girlfriend at Occidental College], I think she wanted to have her role known. So when Alex showed me the letters from Barack, she redacted one paragraph in one of them and just said, “It’s about homosexuality.”

Garrow goes on to tell say that the McNear letters contain explicit fantasies that Obama had about having sex with men and that the secrecy around the letters, kept at Emory University, serves as further evidence of his own conclusion that the former President wasn’t as much a once-in-a-lifetime inspirational leader but just another narcissist and calculating knife-fighter.

Rising Star, along with additional unpublished documents and letters uncovered by Garrow, paints the young Barack Obama as someone openly hostile to the United States and Israel, the latter being a hostility that carried over well into his political career and presidency.

Regarding what made voters and the media flock to Obama, creating a sort of impenetrable myth surrounding him, Garrow said:

…I think it’s inescapable that Barack’s success in ‘08 is rooted in white people seeing him as an easy ticket toward racial absolution. It’s a need that white people in this country have. And what we’re still seeing week after week now for these past two or three years, especially with places like the Times and the Post, is that this white need for absolution was not cured by the Obama presidency. I frankly don’t understand it.

The news comes just weeks after Obama’s half brother Malik tweeted about the former president being a homosexual.

Undercovers in Jan 6

EXC: ‘It Was Crawling With Feds’ – Capitol Police Chief Confirms FBI, DHS Undercovers in Jan 6 Crowd.

Former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund told Tucker Carlson “there was a fair amount of law enforcement” in the January 6th crowd, in footage exclusively obtained by The National Pulse. The bombshell news follows revelations that Sund had called the events surrounding the Capitol riot “a cover up,” adding his concerns over provocateurs like Ray Epps.

Over halfway through the interview hidden by Fox News following Tucker Carlson’s firing, Sund explains that it is normal for Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to have a few undercover assets in large crowds gathered in the nation’s capital. But the 18 or so FBI agents present, plus an estimated 20 from the Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) was remarkably high.

Sund stunningly reveals: “Within a few days of January 6th I had media reach out to me and say ‘Hey, you’re aware the FBI had undercovers in the crowd?’. I was like, ‘Oh no, they would have told me’. I had Steve D’Antuono, the head of the [FBI] Washington Field Office on a call the day before. Didn’t say anything to me about it… and now to see, allegedly, according to the GAO report, they had 18 operatives in the crowd? That’s a lot of operatives.”

The Capitol Hill top cop, forced out by Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the aftermath of January 6th, went on to explain that during incidents like IMF protests in 2000, and the Bush inauguration, it was commonplace for his department to have intelligence briefings with the FBI, alongside a ‘Joint Intelligence Bulletin’ (JIB).

“None of that [happened for Jan 6],” Sund explained, “No conference call.”

Tucker Carlson pressed Sund for clarification: “You think 18 is a lot for that kind of an event?”

“I think so,” replies Sund, adding that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had 20 HSI operatives in the crowd several thousand.

“It sounds like a number of the intelligence agencies had resources in the crowd,” Sund asserts, to which Carlson responds: “In the parlance of the internet, it was crawling with feds?”

“There was a fair amount of law enforcement in the crowd,” Sund replies.

In over 30 years of service in the police, Sund says he has never seen anything like that in terms of sheer numbers of undercover operatives from across government agencies.
