100% of Dems Vote AGAINST Veteran Help Bill, Citing Lack of ‘Trans’ Care.

One hundred percent of Congressional Democrats this week voted against a Veteran’s Affairs funding bill, citing concerns over transgender care and abortion. The bill, which passed broadly along party lines with just two Republicans voting ‘no’, now passes to the Senate where it is expected to die on arrival over the same issues Democrats raised in the House of Representatives.

The bill increases funding for veterans above current levels, and adds $130 billion for veterans’ medical care, but the Biden White House said that while it “appreciates” the increase of spending for veterans and military construction projects, the GOP bill does not allow for taxpayer funded abortions, nor “provide hormone therapies for the purpose of gender-affirming care.”

As a result, parties will have to work out differences on the matter in conference later this year, while Joe Biden himself has threatened to veto the plan to increase support for veterans over both abortion and transgenderism.

On Thursday, Democrat Congresswoman Cori Bush used up time on the House floor shouting, “Your bills are racist!” at Congressman Steve Scalise, with specific reference to the military construction and veteran spending bill. She did not explain how the bill was “racist” but simply tweeted an emoji after the fact, adding, “I said what I said.”

WATCH: CIA Candidate Will Hurd Booed Off Stage After Trump Jab.

“Former” CIA man and ex-“Republican” Congressman Will Hurd was booed off stage at the Iowa GOP Lincoln Dinner on Friday night, after telling the audience he believed Donald Trump is running for president “to stay out of prison.”

Hurd’s ludicrous claim – which falls apart when considering that Trump’s legal woes only began in earnest when he cemented his frontrunner status in the Republican primary – was met by a chorus of boos. Hurd promptly left the stage afterwards, having claimed:

“I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, listen I know the truth, the truth is hard. But if we elected Donald Trump, we are willingly giving Joe Biden another four years in the White House and America can’t handle that.”

Donald Trump has been pulling ahead of Biden in national polls for a number of weeks, further ridiculing Hurd’s claims.

Ukrainian Breakthrough After ‘Massive’ Strike by U.S. Artillery.

Ukrainain and Western officials say Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces may finally be achieving a breakthrough in their stalled counter-offensive, after U.S.-made HIMARS artillery launched a “massive” strike against Russian positions.

HIMARS rockets reportedly blasted a Russian ammunition dump sky high in the southern Zaporizhzhia (Zaporozhye) region, which links the Donbass to Russian-controlled southern Kherson and the Crimea, and hosts the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.

They have also seemingly punched a hole through the Russian minefields and fortifications which have thwarted Ukraine’s Western armor before now, with geolocated images showing Ukrainian tanks and American-made Bradley fighting vehicles beyond the Russian lines near the village of Robotyne.

U.S. officials have hailed the possible breakthrough as the “main thrust” of the Ukrainian counter-offensive arriving at last, while British officials are hyping a “major offensive operation”.

Russian officials, too, acknowledge the situation is serious, with Vladimir Putin himself saying fighting has “intensified significantly”.

The Ukrainians will be keen to demonstrate they have some momentum in the war, with Ukrainian ports being systematically devastated by air strikes in recent days and a 100-strong force of Russians back on the offensive in the Kharkov region.

DeSantis Collapses to Single Digits in Ohio, Behind Vivek.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is on just nine percent in the Republican primary race in Ohio, trailing entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, now on 12 percent.

Former President Donald Trump is dominates the field in the Buckeye State, according to Ohio Northern University polling, on 64 percent. DeSantis — who has presented himself as Trump without the baggage, but campaigned as Jeb Bush without the name recognition — is now in third place behind Ramaswamy, a candidate who lacks the prior celebrity or record in high office of his competitors – but is beating all expectations for his candidacy.

The Ohio polling also punctures the DeSantis camp’s narrative that the Floridian has a better chance of beating President Joe Biden than Trump, having him eke out a narrow 41-39 victory over the octogenarian Democrat while Trump smashes him by a much wider margin of 49 to 39 percent.

Media outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch, already backing off their previous support for DeSantis amid insider reports that he can “smell a loser”, had suggested Ramaswamy was displacing the Florida Governor as Trump’s main competitor before the Ohio polling was released.

DATA: 50% of Millennials, Gen Zers Want to ‘Focus on Themselves’ Instead of Having Kids.

Only just over half of millennials and Gen Z – 55 percent – say they are planning to start a family, citing the environment, finances, and career aspirations, among others, as deterrents, research from OnePoll has found.

One-quarter of the 1,000 18 to 34-year-olds surveyed stated that they have completely “ruled out” having children, with another 20 percent unsure whether they would do in the future. More than half believe that it was not important to have children to “feel fulfilled in their lives.”

The most common reason for not wanting children was so that people could have “more time to focus” on themselves at 49 percent. Financial issues were another prevalent concern at 47 percent, followed by “fears about the state of the world” – 38 percent – and concern “about the impact on the environment” – 35 percent.

“For generations, having children has just been the done thing, but it seems younger people are now deciding against this more and more,” said a spokesman for OnePoll to the Times of London.

While young adults in the West are debating whether to have children, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is actively encouraging their citizens to start families, offering IVF treatment covered by the state and increased welfare, to reduce the damage of the CCP’s decades-long “one-child policy”.

Germany Pays $145Bn+ In Welfare To Foreigners Since 2010.

Germany has paid over 132 billion euros, or $145bn (USD) to unemployed foreign nationals in state welfare since 2010, with the proportion of foreign benefit recipients having recently increased by a whopping 122 percent. The number of Germans receiving state welfare has halved in the same time period.

Foreign nationals make up 47 percent of welfare recipients as of 2023, despite being only 18 percent of the population. The German state spent 15.4 billion euros on unemployed foreign nationals alone in 2022 – almost 10 billion more than in 2010, in which the government spent 6.9 billion.

The largest foreign welfare recipients were 707,000 Ukrainian refugees. The second largest was just under 500,000 Syrians: more than half of the total population of Syrians living in Germany as of 2022. Turks ranked third, with around 200,000 claiming welfare. Below those countries were Afghans and Iraqis. There are 377,240 Afghans registered as living in Germany as of 2022, 176,000 of whom claim state welfare. Of the 284,595 registered Iraqis, 115,000 claim welfare.

Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP, Rene Springer, argues that Germany requires “a restrictive immigration policy that effectively prevents immigration into our social systems” because, he adds:

“The citizen’s allowance introduced by the federal government… acts as an immigration magnet.”

Germany’s failure to successfully integrate immigrants is having wider societal ramifications, such as the Berlin city council having to check identity cards to visit outdoor swimming pools to counter surging criminality often perpetrated by men with migrant backgrounds.

Biden Prosecutor Adds 3 More Charges to Trump Documents Case.

Joe Biden’s foreign-dwelling, Obama-linked prosecutor “Jack” Smith has added three more charges against former President Trump, in a move the Trump campaign blasted as “nothing more than a continued desperate and flailing attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their Department of Justice to harass President Trump and those around him.”

The new charges attempting to “alter, destroy, mutilate, or conceal evidence”; inducing someone else to do so; and a new count under the Espionage Act stemming from a document they allege he showed to visitors at the Trump National club in Bedminster.

“Deranged Jack Smith knows that they have no case and is casting about for any way to salvage their illegal witch hunt and to get someone other than Donald Trump to run against Crooked Joe Biden,” the Trump campaign shot back on Thursday.

Maintenance worker, Carlos De Oliveria, was added as a new defendant in the case, with the DOJ claiming he was instructed to wipe video surveillance servers.

WaPo: Republicans Should Pick the Candidate Democrats Can Agree Most With.

The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is hyping Asa Hutchinson, an also-ran in the Republican primary race currently polling around one percent, insisting his Democrat-friendly ideas “deserve to be taken seriously”.

Hutchinson, who ran the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) under President George W. Bush, has been particularly fierce in his defense of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), declaring that defunding it “is off the charts a bad idea” and that “[Donald] Trump has done great harm to our rule of law”.

“None of [Hutchinson’s policies are] radical, and Democrats could support most of what he’s advocating,” the WaPo notes, as if this is a selling point.

Hutchinson has repeatedly called on Trump, whom he blames for Jan 6, to abandon the race in response to the indictments being levelled against him by state and federal prosecutors – despite the fact he is yet to be convicted of anything – and tacitly endorsed Special Counsel Jack Smith targeting the former president.

AUDIO: Top DeSantis Fundraiser Gushes Over ‘Mentor’ Jeb Bush.

Unearthed audio reveals Slater Bayliss, a top financial bundler for Ron DeSantis for President, calling former Florida Governor Jeb Bush “a wonderful mentor,” while boasting of his deep connections to the wider Bush family.

Bayliss – a Bud Light lobbyist who was recently identified as one of DeSantis’s top money men – boasted of his Bush links working as part of the Iowa Straw Poll team; Committee 100 Director of the Republican Party of Florida; Special Assistant to the Jeb Bush; and assistant director of the Governor’s Office of Tourism, Trade, and Economic Development.

Bayliss explained, “Jeb Bush wrote something that resonated with me and I kinda just figured how to get an internship on his campaign and he and I personally hit it off. He added:

“He’s been a wonderful mentor, friend, and he was a great boss for me for gosh, six years or so.”

– Slater Bayliss, Top DeSantis ‘Bundler’

DeSantis, too, has expressed his admiration for members of the Bush family. Florida’s Governor claimed in an interview that the 41st US President, George H. W. Bush, was the most inspirational person that he has ever met.

Bayliss has raised at least $242,600 in recent months for the DeSantis camp, placing himself as their third-highest cash bundler. A lobbyist for Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch, Bayliss was already discussing a potential DeSantis run as in November 2022, telling POLITICO: “If you look at where the money is coming from, it’s indicative of Gov. DeSantis being seen by national donors as the de facto frontrunner for president.”

Biden Law Hands Billions to Foreign Firms Building Bases Abroad, & Murdoch’s Papers Approve.

Foreign corporations will wring massive profits from U.S. taxpayers under Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and Rupert Murdoch mouthpieces are apparently delighted about it.

In an article with the BuzzFeed-style headline ‘Foreigners Will Benefit From U.S. Climate Subsidies, and That Is Good News‘, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) argues overseas firms like Panasonic gathering in up to $2 billion a year in climate tax credits to build American battery plants is a feature of the IRA, rather than a bug.

The WSJ favorably compares the situation to that in Communist China, where the regime “require[s] local production” to access its market – but admits this approach has also left the Chinese struggling with excessive waste and a mountain of debt.

“China’s local government debt burden has exploded over the past decade, in no small part due to an arms race among city governments to support local industrial policy champions in areas like solar, robotics, electric vehicles and microchips,” the WSJ concedes.

Aping the Chinese could therefore prove costly for American taxpayers, given the national debt is already running well over $32,65o,000,000,000 – roughly $100,000 per person.
