It took the Biden administration 6 MONTHS of research to come up with ‘ultra MAGA’

Joe Biden’s usage of the phrase “ultra MAGA,” deployed earlier this month in several speeches by the President to try and alienate the Trump faction of Republicans, isn’t as organic as it was first advertised to be.After the outcry of “let’s go Brandon,” progressive think tanks and Washington DC’s brightest minds got to work on a counterattack of their own, and “ultra MAGA” was what they came up with.It took 6 months of research for Democrats to come up with “Ultra MAGA”.They really thought this was a good idea ? pic.twitter.com/7b1AZYS1yD— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) May 13, 2022
The Washington Post has revealed that Biden’s usage of “ultra MAGA” to describe members of the Republican party was intentional and not spontaneous or organic. It took six months of research by Biden’s adviser Anita Dunn and the Center for American Progress Action Fund to come up with that. Focus group testing and polls undertaken by the Hart Research and the Global Strategy Group indicated that respondents see the phrase “MAGA” more negatively than other labels like “Trump Republicans.“This scoop debunks claims made earlier this week by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who  said “ultra MAGA” was “the President’s phrase and he made those comments himself.” White House press sec. Jen Psaki tells @MaryKBruce that Pres. Biden came up with …

Court Agrees To Let Spygate Cabal Hide Emails From Grand Jury

Tech executive Rodney Joffe may assert attorney-client privilege for communications he had with employees of Fusion GPS because those communications furthered Joffe and the Clinton campaign’s common interest, a federal judge presiding over the criminal case against Michael Sussmann ruled yesterday. Prosecutors will now be greatly limited in the material they may elicit from one of the two witnesses granted immunity in exchange for their testimony against Sussmann.

Sussmann, whose trial in a D.C. federal court on a false statement charge is set to begin on Monday, scored a victory Thursday when presiding judge Christopher Cooper rejected Special Counsel John Durham’s attempts to present the jury copies of emails previously withheld by Joffe, the Clinton camp …

Congress To Hold Open Hearing On UFOs — Will Public Hearings Make A Difference?

Next Tuesday, the House Intelligence Committee’s subcommittee will hold an open hearing regarding the Pentagon’s work on identifying and investigating unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs.
Congress hasn’t held public hearings on the topics since Project BLUE BOOK closed in 1969.
That’s before my time for anyone who is counting.

Why are there open hearings next week?
Thanks to a handful of members of Congress, the National Defense Authorization Act included requirements for the Pentagon to set up a dedicated office with regular reporting requirements to Congress on the UAP issue.
Congress was underwhelmed by the recent classified report from the Pentagon.
Democratic Congressman Andre Carson said of the public hearing next week:

“This hearing is about examining steps that the Pentagon can take to reduce the stigma surrounding reporting by military pilots, and by civilian pilots.”
While I doubt next week we will learn that aliens have visited us and are forming an alliance with a group of powerful elite aiming to assist in the colonization (I may have binge-watched X‑Files this week), I do think it is worth exploring what might happen if full disclosure ever happens.

One of the critical questions for the upcoming House UAP hearing is: ‘Do we have evidence of intelligently-controlled unknowns in orbit or in space?’ https://t.co/uQxkLGcGoB

INFOGRAPHIC: Durham’s First Trial: The Michael Sussmann Case

As the trial of former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann approaches, The Epoch Times presents a comprehensive timeline of Sussmann’s activities before and after the 2016 election. The cybersecurity lawyer faces one count of lying to the government for allegedly claiming to an FBI official that he was providing information while not representing any clients, when in fact he was representing the Clinton campaign. As a result of the alleged lie, the FBI was put at a disadvantage in grasping “the politically-laden and ethically-fraught nature” of the information, according to special counsel John Durham, who’s been tasked to review the FBI investigation into supposed collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to sway the 2016 election. The FBI investigation, partly concerned with the information provided by Sussma …

Preparing a Post-Invasion Taiwan for Insurgency

In July 2021, during a speech on the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Chinese President Xi Jinping stated that China has a “historic mission” and “unshakable commitment” to reunify with Taiwan and “smash” any efforts at independence.1 The CCP has created a vast surveillance state in China to control the population, particularly in areas of “restive” populations. Across the Taiwan Strait, the Republic of China (ROC) employs sophisticated electronic monitoring methods for security, health, transportation, and other purposes, as demonstrated in its successful efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19.2 If China invades and conquers Taiwan, it likely will move to quickly repurpose Taiwan’s existing surveillance capability.In an initial invasion, China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) likely would have overwhelming numbers on its side and good prospects for succ …

House Republicans Just Found The ‘Smoking Gun’

The Federal Bureau of Investigation opened several investigations into parents protesting policies in their local school boards, labeling them with a threat tag the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division created, according to House Republicans.

Republicans of the House Judiciary Committee published their findings in a letter Republican House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio sent Wednesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland. The findings were made with the help of information from whistleblowers.

The letter presented information suggesting that the FBI “labeled at least dozens of investigations into parents with a threat tag created by the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division to assess and track investigations related to school boards.”

According to the letter, the cases the FBI monitored and tagged with the new threat tag — EDUOFFICIALS — included those of “parents upset about mask mandates and state elected officials who publicly voiced opposition to vaccine mandate.”

Jordan pointed out that the findings made by the Republicans of the House Judiciary Committee ran contrary to Garland’s sworn testimony before the committee…CONTINUE READING»>

The infant formula shortage is a national crisis

An alarming shortage of infant formula has families in a panic as they struggle to find the products they need in grocery stores and online.

The
crisis has occurred
for more than a year now and was severely exacerbated by a February recall of powdered formulas manufactured in one of Abbott Nutrition’s plants. The supply chain breakdown plaguing other manufacturers has only made things worse. Yet few solutions, if any, have been proposed to help families in need.

The federal government
mentioned the crisis publicly
for the first time this week, with White House press secretary Jen Psaki assuring parents that their children are a top priority for the Food and Drug Administration. But the urgency that the situation requires hasn’t seemed to set in. Indeed, the FDA
insisted
this week that there is plenty of baby formula floating around the market because other manufacturers are ramping up production. The FDA’s only suggestions for desperate parents? Meet with healthcare professionals to discuss changing feeding practices, consider using potentially tainted f …

Musk: Twitter takeover ‘temporarily on hold’

Elon Musk’s $44 billion deal to buy Twitter is “on hold” for the moment, the billionaire business tycoon said on Friday.
“Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users,” Musk tweeted.

In his tweet announcing the snag in the deal, Musk shared an news article from earlier this month about a Twitter disclosure where the company estimated that fake or spam accounts represent fewer than 5% of its 229 million monetizable daily active users in the first quarter.
