WATCH: RFK Jr Admits He Twice Flew On Jeffrey Epstein’s Private Jet.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has admitted to traveling on convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet – the “Lolita Express” – on two occasions. He also admitted his ex-wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, had an affiliation with Ghislaine Maxwell.

“I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times. I was on it in 1993 and I was on it, I went to Florida with my wife and two children to visit my mom over Easter,” said the 2024 presidential hopeful when asked about it by Fox News’s Jesse Waters.

“My wife had some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell and they offered us a ride to Palm Beach, I went then and on another occasion I flew again with my family  with four of my children and, and, and, Mary, my wife to Rapid City, South Dakota, to go fossil hunting for a weekend,” RFK Jr. continued.

“But otherwise I was never on his jet alone, I’ve been very open about this from the beginning… it was thirty years ago, it was before anybody knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s, you know, his nefarious issues,” he added before expressing his wish for transparency concerning the existing records on Epstein’s high-profile affiliations.

A representative clarified Kennedy Jr.’s statement concerning his ex-wife’s association with Maxwell, explaining that the connection arose when Maxwell extended a flight offer to the Kennedy family during an Easter trip to Palm Beach.

Biden Admits He’s Not Running for America, Only to Stop Trump.

Joe Biden admitted on Tuesday that his reason for seeking re-election in 2024 is preventing former President Donald Trump from reclaiming the presidency. “If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running. But we cannot let him win,” he said, placing his animosity towards the reality TV billionaire over any positive plans for the country.

Biden’s comments have sparked increased speculation about his fitness for office given his age and perceived cognitive decline. His tendency for gaffes and unconventional anecdotes, used to connect with audiences, have fueled this debate.

The statement comes in the backdrop of recent poll increases for Trump. According to the RealClearPolitics polling average, the former president currently holds a two percent lead over Biden. The sentiment that Trump holds little regard for the U.S. Constitution or democratic institutions has been echoed by many of his detractors and has intensified in recent weeks in the light of these poll numbers.

Asked about the comments by Sean Hannity, former President Trump said it was unclear if Biden will even make it to the election in 2024.

School Board Gets Death Threats After Refusing $10K From LGBT+ Group.

A school district in Lynchburg, Virginia, has received multiple death threats after the Washington Post published an article that claimed the board created a “blueprint for how to belittle, betray and dismiss kids” because it refused a $10,000 donation from a radical LGBT-pushing group.

The Lynchburg City School Board voted 7 to 2 against the creation of LGBT “safe spaces” in its schools – designed to take children out of lessons and allow them to talk about their feelings in “comfortable chairs, blankets and low light” – with funds from the charity “It Gets Better.”

The rejection infuriated Petula Dvorak of the Post, who reports that the school kids were left feeling “terrified” and “incandescent” with rage. The decision was “[a]nimated by a conservative movement linking parental fears and grievances to anything related by being LGBTQ+,” Dvorak asserts.

The school board began receiving death threats shortly after the piece was published on November 30. The police have opened an investigation into the messages after the board became sufficiently concerned to contact the authorities.

“I know that these emails are affecting some of the board members to a greater extent than they are affecting other board members, and to that end, we are taking this very seriously,” said Christian Depaul, a member of the board.

Worse still, Depaul hit out at the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper for neglecting to mention that the district “plans on providing safe spaces” for students but does not want It Gets Better funding to do so.

The LGBT charity was founded by the gay activist Dan Savage and his husband, Terry Miller, in 2010. Savage is best known for a number of controversial remarks, such as wishing Republicans “were all f*cking dead” as well as suggesting “abortion should be mandatory for about 30 years.”

McCarthy Ally Rep. Patrick McHenry, Ex-Acting Speaker, Will Not Seek Reelection.

House Representative Patrick McHenry (R-NC) has confirmed reports that he will not seek reelection next term. McHenry, 48, temporarily served as acting House speaker for a three-week period in October after Rep. Matt Gaetz successfully used a ‘motion to vacate’ to oust the former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The North Carolina Republican’s short stint as the leader of the House came to an end with the election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as Speaker of the House.

The powerful chairman of the House Financial Services Committee has represented North Carolina’s 10th Congressional District since first winning office in 2004. Initially gaining attention as a die-hard critic of moderate Republicans, McHenry has since embraced less controversial roles in Congress, paving the way for his rise through the Republican leadership.

A close ally of former Speaker McCarthy, and member of House leadership, McHenry played an integral role in negotiating a deal on raising the debt ceiling earlier this year. The debt deal angered conservative members of the House Freedom Caucus and in part spurred Rep. Gaetz to move against McCarthy’s speakership.

The announcement of McHenry’s retirement hasn’t come as a surprise to colleagues. The House Republican Conference rules bar Members from serving more than three consecutive terms as Chairman or Ranking Member of a committee or subcommittee. McHenry would have been term-limited out of his Financial Services Committee chairmanship at the start of the next Congress.

Biden Challenger Blasts Rigged DNC Primary: ‘You Would Expect This in Tehran’.

The Democrat Party is moving to bar primary challengers to President Joe Biden from state ballots across the country. In Florida, Democrat leaders effectively canceled the party’s the March 19 presidential primary by using party rules to name Biden as the only official candidate. Under the state’s election law, uncontested presidential primary races do not appear on the ballot – meaning for Florida Democrats, their state party decided the 2024 Democrat nominee for them.

“Americans would expect the absence of democracy in Tehran, not Tallahassee,” Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) said in a statement regarding the state party’s decision. The multi-millionaire Congressman, who warned his fellow Democrats earlier this year they were “sleepwalking into a repeat of 2016”, announced he would challenge Biden for the Democrat presidential nomination in late October. Marianne Williamson, a perennial Democrat presidential candidate known for her eccentric views, said her campaign is looking in to taking legal action against the state party over their decision.

While not unheard of – some state parties used similar maneuvers to prevent primary challenges to Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama – raise concerns the Democrat Party is increasingly any equating opposition to their agenda as being ‘opposed to democracy’. Democrat Party aligned groups have backed legal challenges in several states as part of an effort to kick former President Donald Trump off of the 2024 presidential ballot. They argue the 14th Amendment’s ‘Insurrection Clause’ bars Trump from being elected to office.

“The Democratic Party is actively seeking to deny voters choices in this election, supposedly to save democracy,” law professor Jonathan Turley warned in The Hill, adding: “Henry Ford once promised customers any color so long as it is black. Democrats are adopting the same approach to the election: You can have any candidate on the ballot, as long as it’s Joe Biden.”

REVEALED: Hunter Biden’s China-Linked Business Made Direct, Monthly Payments to Joe Biden.

Representative James Comer and the House Oversight Committee have released bank records showing “direct monthly payments” to Joe Biden by the China-linked Owasco PC, his son Hunter’s business entity.

“President Joe Biden claimed there was an absolute wall between his official government duties and his families influence-peddling schemes. This was a lie,” said Rep. Comer in a video statement. “Now, Hunter Biden’s legal team and the White House’s media allies claim Hunter’s corporate entities never made payments directly to Joe Biden. We can officially add this latest talking point to the list of lies,” he continued.

Comer revealed the Committee had uncovered direct payments from Owasco to the elder Biden after subpoenaing bank records.

“Owasco PC made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden. This wasn’t a payment from Hunter Biden’s personal account, but an account for his corporation that received payment from China and other shady corners of the world,” Comer stressed.

“At this moment, Hunter Biden is under investigation by the Department of Justice for using Owasco PC for tax evasion and other serious crimes,” he noted.

“Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefited from his family’s influence-peddling schemes,” Comer emphasized, discussing how the then-Vice President was dialed into Hunter’s business meetings.

Michigan Muslim Mayor Says He’s ‘Not in the Mood’ for Christmas if Bombs Are Falling in Gaza.

Dearborn mayor Abdullah Hammoud said residents – including himself – were “not in the mood” at this year’s city Christmas tree lighting, adding “Not when bombs are dropping in Gaza.” The Muslim mayor claimed growing concerns about Islamophobia were also to blame for the unusually somber event.

“In this community, right now there is a lot of grief, anger and fear,” Mayor Hammoud said in an interview with the New York Times. “You can’t help but be anxious when the whole city tells you that they stay up every night following the news, trying to understand how much more death and destruction is happening.”

He added, “This is personal for me. And it is personal for a great majority of my city.”

While Hammoud has tried to cast himself and city residents in a more sympathetic light following Hamas’s barbaric October 7th terrorist attack against Israel, he and some Dearborn residents have a long track record of promoting antisemitism and violence against Jews.

Hammoud, known for his staunch anti-Israel positions, excused the Hamas terror attack on the Jewish state “inevitable.” In a 2021 social media post, the Dearborn mayor used – in a positive manner – the phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” which many interpret as a call for the Palestinian conquest and eradication of Israel.

The National Pulse previously reported Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), whose district includes Dearborn, was a member of a secret Facebook group in which members praised Hamas and acts of terrorism against Jews – some embers also engaged in conspiracies denying the Holocaust.

While Hammoud laments a perceived rise in Islamophobia, in reality it is anti-Semitism that is on the steep rise – especially among Michigan’s Muslim community. According to government data, nearly half of the religion-oriented hate crimes in 2022 were directed at Jews in America.

DeSantis’s Never Back Down PAC Dismisses NEW CEO After Just 2 Weeks.

Ron DeSantis’s super PAC, Never Back Down, has dismissed its new CEO, Kristin Davison, just under two weeks into her role. Davison replaced the outgoing Chris Jankowski, who “backed down” from his role after a number of run-ins with other senior PAC leadership. In recent months, DeSantis has been heard to blame his own PAC for his campaign’s failings.

Davison will be replaced by Scott Wagner, a long-time ally of DeSantis who has been handed grace and favor jobs by the Florida Governor after managing his gubernatorial transition. Wagner apparently came to loggerheads with PAC strategist and Iowa “genius” Jeff Roe recently, with the pair squaring off in a board meeting. Wagner’s ‘Faithful and Strong’ Policies organization has links to Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney.

The news follows the resignation of former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who left his position as board chairman just a week ago.

Amidst the internal turmoil, a new super PAC, ‘Fight Right’, has been formed by DeSantis allies. The establishment of this new group poses questions about the future of Never Back Down’s role as the DeSantis campaign approaches the Iowa caucus on Jan 15.

The personnel shakeup comes as Never Back Down reckons with other substantial concerns, including the effectiveness of its advertising campaigns. Insiders close to the governor have reportedly voiced doubts over the PAC’s TV ads, prompting DeSantis campaign manager James Uthmeier to recommend a shift in focus to a get-out-the-vote program.

PREVIEW: Trump to Declare His Campaign ‘A Righteous Crusade to Liberate Our Republic’.

President Donald J. Trump is set to turn the issue of “American democracy” against the Democrats and Joe Biden during a speech today in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, declaring his campaign a “righteous crusade to liberate our republic from Biden“.

Recent polling has revealed that single issue voters are primarily motivated by two key themes in 2024: abortion and the state of America’s democratic institutions. As a result, Trump will declare:

“For decades, you watched as a corrupt political class in our nation’s capital looted your money, trampled your dignity, and pushed their radical agenda into every aspect of your lives. But in 2016, you voted to stand up to those liars, losers, crooks, and creeps—and you elected an outsider as president to put America First.”

Additionally, the 45th President is expected to state: “I promise you this: if you put me back in the White House, their reign will be over, and America will be a free nation once again,” before going on to spell out the weaponization of American government against anyone who disagrees with the regime and its policies.

“They want to control your speech. They want to control your social media. They want to control what car you drive, what dishwasher you have—they want to control you,” Trump will tell crowds in the Hawkeye State.

“Just this week, Biden’s Homeland Security secretary even admitted that they are weaponizing Artificial Intelligence to target American citizens for political speech. When I am reelected, I will cancel Biden’s Artificial Intelligence Executive Order—and ban the use of A.I. to censor the speech of American citizens on Day One.”

Trump will also urge Iowa Republicans to commit to caucus for him, with the Iowa caucuses fewer than 50 days away.

Paul Ryan Was Caught Texting His Approval of Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley.

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) was seen pressing Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), via text message, to back former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination. The text messages were photographed by a fellow passenger while Ryan was on a flight from Canada to the U.S. early Tuesday morning.

“I think now is the time for a guy like you to endorse,” the texts are reported to have said. “Plus, Her foreign policy/world views track closest to yours. She brings the most excitement. I like RON [DeSantis], but don’t think he is the growth stock Niki [sic] is. Just following up per our talk [in] September. Go Packers!”

Ryan allies have been gravitating towards Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign for some weeks now, having ostensibly abandoned their hopes for DeSantis.

Two weeks ago, Spencer Zwick, a heavyweight GOP fundraiser who worked the 2012 Romney-Ryan presidential campaign, joined the Haley team.  In addition to Zwick, Americans for Prosperity – part of billionaire Charle Koch’s vast network of political organizations – has formally endorsed Haley, much to the chagrin of Team DeSantis. Americans for Prosperity and Charles Koch have long been major backers of former Speaker Ryan and his corporation friendly political agenda.

Paul Ryan, now a Fox News executive, has repeatedly said he will “never again” support former President Trump. “[L]ook, it’s a disaster if we nominate Trump, you know I think that, I’ve been saying this for a long time,” Ryan said during an interview in June.
