MAGA favorites Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and several GOP representatives joined President Trump at his rally in Commerce, Georgia on Saturday night.
Gaetz and MTG were asked to share a few words with the thousands who came out to see President Trump.
Matt Gaetz did not disappoint telling the crowd he will nominate President Trump for Speaker of the House in 2023 after Republicans take over.
Rep. Matt Gaetz: “Give us the ability to fire Nancy Pelosi, take back the majority, impeach Joe Biden, and I’m going to nominate Donald Trump for Speaker of the United States House of Representatives!”
Videos that surfaced late last night purportedly show members of the Ukrainian military shooting Russian POWs in the knees and beating them senseless.
Several correspondents from around the world have called on the International Criminal Court, which Ukraine has invited into their country, to investigate and verify these potential war crimes.
Videos allegedly showing Ukrainian soldiers shooting Russian prisoners of war in the knees have hit the internet alongside a series of clips from the Ukrainian army calling the families and loved ones of deceased Russian soldiers in order to mock their deaths. The footage embedded below is graphic and viewer discretion is advised.
While The Gateway Pundit is unable to independently verify the content of these videos, a foreign correspondent from the BBC has indicated that she reviewed the clips. “Seeing (not sharing) graphic videos from Ukraine. In accepting ICC jurisdiction, Ukraine has enabled ICC prosecutors to investigate allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity on both sides,” she tweeted. “Rhetoric from some politicians suggests focus on Russians alone.” Reporters from Sweden’s SVT and Bellingcat’s Elliot Higgins have also acknowledged the release of the videos.
Russian commentators who have been tracking the war on Telegram suggested that provoking an equally brutal response from Russia could be the true motive behind the release of these videos. On one hand, the media in the West is unlikely to promote war crimes committed by the Ukrainians, but if Russia retaliates in kind, that will surely get a significant amount of airtime.
In the videos, Russian soldiers are shown exiting a van under the guard of Ukrainian soldiers.
Some commentators have attempted to portray the videos as Russian propaganda, suggesting that the victims might have been captured deserters who were being punished. There currently isn’t any evidence to suggest that is the case.
Wilson Dizard, a journalist with Turkey’s public broadcasting station TRT, tweeted that mistreatment of Russian POWs is becoming a “dangerous trend” noting that it is in Ukraine’s interest to humanely treat POWs to encourage more Russians to surrender.
Carl Fridh Kleberg, a foreign correspondent with Sweden’s national public news, found the videos credible enough to warrant an investigation while shooting down claims that accents in the video reveal the assailants to be Russian and assertions that the blood is unrealistic:
With inflation at its highest point in 40 years, Rep. Thomas Massie’s opposition to massive government spending bills in response to COVID-19 has been vindicated.
At the start of the pandemic, Massie maneuvered to force lawmakers to vote on record for the CARES Act that authorized $2.2 trillion in government spending. He cautioned that most of the money would not make it into the hands of normal Americans and that it would lead to staggering inflation down the road. The bill would later be augmented by an additional $1.9 trillion under President Biden and, all told, the federal government would spend $4.6 trillion on COVID relief.
“Today is the two-year anniversary of the first of a series of spending bills that caused the inflation we suffer today,” Massie tweeted this morning. “Thank you, Rep. Ken Buck, for standing with me. No other Congressman was willing to stand up and tell Pelosi and Trump they were making a huge mistake that day.”
In a recent interview with McClatchy, Massie said that he now has members of Congress admitting that they made a mistake. “I should have stood with you then. You were right,” they tell him.
The congressman from Kentucky had another problem: leaders from both parties agreed that this historic and unprecedented spending bill would be passed by a parliamentary procedure called unanimous consent. Unanimous consent doesn’t require any member of the chamber to declare themselves in favor or against the bill, it is simply passed by the virtue of no one in the chamber raising an objection or calling for a tally of votes.
Massie announced that Reps. Kevin McCarthy and Nancy Pelosi had confronted him regarding his intention to block a voice vote on the legislation, explaining that they wanted to protect members of Congress from criticism that might arise later.
His attempt to hold Congress accountable was thwarted, but it forced hundreds of lawmakers to return to the Capitol. He warned that the bill would have devastating consequences for the economy and quickly became the most hated man in D.C. for his efforts.
Strange bedfellows began to appear as President Trump shared tweets criticizing Massie from former Secretary of State John Kerry who suggested Massie quarantine “to prevent the spread of his massive stupidity.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was quick to signal her agreement and applaud Massie for making the move that no one else would:
“In a time of confusion, Thomas Massie did the right thing,” she tweeted. “If truck drivers could deliver our food and supplies and HCW (healthcare workers) were working around the clock, Congress could have at least voted on record.”
Joe Biden will ask Congress on Monday to pass a new minimum tax that would require American households worth more than $100 million to pay a tax rate of at least 20 percent on their full income.
The tax will affect the richest 700 Americans and the Biden regime estimates the new tax will raise $360 billion a year.
According to CBS — the world’s 2,365 billionaires enjoyed a $4 trillion boost to their wealth during the first year of the pandemic, increasing their fortunes by 54%
Oklahoma Democrat Abby Broyles got drunk at a little girls’s sleepover party last month. She swore at the girls and insisted she was a woman of color. Then she threw-up in their little shoes.
Abby Broyles is running for the US House of Representatives as a Democrat. Of course.
Abby Broyles, an Oklahoma City Democrat running for Congress, said Friday that a combination of medication and alcohol led to a bizarre scene last weekend in which she allegedly insulted young girls at a slumber party and threw up at least twice.
In an interview on KFOR, the NBC affiliate in Oklahoma City, Broyles said she blacked out while at the Deer Creek home of a friend whose daughter had several friends over for a party. She said she had combined wine with an insomnia medication she had never taken.
“I don’t remember anything until I woke up — or came to — and I was throwing up in a hamper,” Broyles said in the interview.
The comments are at odds with Broyles’ outright denials to the online publication NonDoc, which posted a detailed story on Thursday about Broyles’ insults and drinking. Broyles told NonDoc she hadn’t even attended the party on Feb. 11 and that she was out of town.
Here’s the latest from the Broyles campaign–
Abby announced this week she was suspending her campaign. She will work on her happiness instead. Hopefully, that will not include any more sleepovers with grade school girls. The Epoch Times reported:
An Oklahoma Democrat running for a U.S. House of Representatives seat announced March 24 she is ending her campaign after getting drunk and berating middle school girls at a sleepover.
Abby Broyles said the fallout from the incident compelled her to try to kill herself and she will not be campaigning any longer so she can “focus on myself and my happiness.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy taunted the West and NATO on Saturday evening in his latest attempt to get fighter jets.
The US has already pledged over $13 billion in aid for Ukraine and is helping them acquire longer range anti-aircraft systems.
For scale, the entire border wall proposed by then-President Donald Trump was estimated to cost $11 billion to complete, which liberal media raged was too much.
Speaking after Biden’s speech in Poland, Zelenskyy “lashed out,” according to the Associated Press, about the West’s “ping-pong about who and how should hand over jets.”
“I’ve talked to the defenders of Mariupol today. I’m in constant contact with them. Their determination, heroism and firmness are astonishing,” Zelenskyy said in a video early Sunday. “If only those who have been thinking for 31 days on how to hand over dozens of jets and tanks had 1% of their courage.”
“So, who is in charge of the Euro-Atlantic community? Is it still Moscow, thanks to its scare tactics?” Zelenskyy continued. “Our partners must step up their aid to Ukraine.”
Apparently, it is extreme cowardice not to run into WWIII for a foreign nation.
“This should be known as soon as possible by as many people on earth as possible so that everyone understands who and why was simply afraid to prevent this tragedy. Afraid to simply make a decision,” Zelenskyy said.
A really solid and in-depth piece by the BBC as whether or not the Ukrainian Azov regiment are Nazis
Like any war, but perhaps more than most, the war in Ukraine has seen a bewildering barrage of claims and counter-claims made by the online supporters of each side. Truth, partial truths and outright lies compete for dominance in the media narrative. Vladimir Putin’s claim that Russia invaded Ukraine to “de-Nazify” the country is surely one of the clearest examples.
The Russian claim that the Maidan revolution of 2014 was a “fascist coup” and that Ukraine is a Nazi state has been used for years by Putin and his supporters to justify his occupation of Crimea and support for Russian-speaking separatists in the country’s east, winning many online adherents.
But the Russian claim is false: Ukraine is a genuine liberal-democratic state, though an imperfect one, with free elections that produce significant changes of power, including the election, in 2019, of the liberal-populist reformer, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Ukraine is, unequivocally, not a Nazi state: the Russian casus belli is a lie. And yet, there is a danger that the understandable desire by Ukrainian and Western commentators not to provide ammunition for Russian propaganda has led to an over-correction — and one that may not ultimately serve Ukraine’s best interests.
Michele Bachmann spoke at the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast 2022 in Dallas, Texas held on March 24 and 25, 2022. Her bio at Regent University reads as follows:
Michele Bachmann was born in Waterloo, Iowa. She received a B.A. in Political Science and English from Winona State University in 1978. She married Marcus Bachmann, a clinical therapist who holds a master’s degree from Regent University. In 1986, Bachmann received a Juris Doctor degree from Oral Roberts University. She was a member of the ORU law school’s final graduating class, and was part of a group of faculty, staff, and students who moved the ORU law school library to Regent University. Two years later, she completed a Master of Law in taxation at the College of William & Mary. She worked for four years as a lawyer for the Internal Revenue Service’s Office of Chief Counsel in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Bachmann and her husband have five children. They also worked with a private foster care agency to house 23 children in their home during the 1990s. Bachmann’s children were home schooled and also attended private Christian schools, and her political career stemmed from her interest in education reform.
In 2000, Bachmann defeated a longtime moderate incumbent for a state senate seat in Minnesota. In 2006, Bachmann entered the race to represent her suburban Minneapolis congressional district. She won 52 percent of the vote, becoming the first Republican woman from Minnesota elected to the House of Representatives. She easily won reelection in 2008 and 2010.
Bachmann was the first Republican woman from Minnesota elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Bachmann served as a United States Congresswoman representing Minnesota’s 6th District from 2007 to 2015.
She quickly became a national figure in the Republican Party and a founding member of the congressional Tea Party Caucus.
In 2011, Bachmann announced her bid for the Republican presidential nomination and ran for president in 2012.
Bachmann is a highly respected leader who is deeply committed to conservative values in government.
“It has been the highest honor to serve the American people and to uphold conservative principles on a national scale,” Bachmann stated. “I am thrilled to now direct my focus to preparing the next generation of government leaders at Regent University.”
The Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast (JPB) is a prayer movement initiated and chaired by Knesset Member Robert Ilatov and co-chaired by U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Each year the JPB brings together government leaders and influential Christian leaders from all walks of society for a gathering in Israel’s capital city to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. The JPB takes the prayer breakfast to nations across the world. Including the United States, Uganda, the UK, Italy, Singapore, Ghana, Netherlands, Finland, and many more.
In this year’s presentation, Bachmann discussed Biden’s insane deal with Iran that is expected to be released any day now. This isn’t a deal, it’s a disaster. Lord save us.
Bachmann shared starting at the 2:06:34 minute mark in the video below, how the US under President Trump operated under a pro-Israel policy and Jerusalem was formally recognized as Israel’s capital. Next Bachmann discussed how Iran is the world’s number one chief state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Now Biden is planning on reviving a nuclear weapon program for Iran.
No one could have ever made up this scenario but it’s true. The US under President Biden while Russia was actively invading the Ukraine agreed to lift all the sanctions the United States had against the terror state of Iran. What strange timing to ease pressure on terrorist Iran.
The deal Bachmann says was a complete United States capitulation to Iran’s demands. Iran even refuses to sit in the same room with the United States during these nuclear talks. So Biden appointed a Russian negotiator to do the negotiating for the US with Iran. “So Russia is the US negotiator with Iran.”
We live in a time of utter madness and we’re being ruled by lawless monsters…As soon as this deal gets signed, and it will be any day, Iran will immediately get access to $90 billion in sanctions relief…Iran will get over $130 billion to spend from this deal. This money will go straight to Iran’s terror programs.
Who would have thought the US would help Iran build a nuke?
After approving the experimental mRNA jab for children as young as five a few months back, the tyrannical US Public Health Regime is pushing ahead with its plan to vaccinate even younger children despite mounting evidence that the jab may actually be facilitating the spread of the virus among them.
Not to even mention the numerous and life-threatening side effects, like myocarditis and bells palsy, that frequently manifest after receiving the experimental mRNA jab.
According to the latest data from the US Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Covid infection rate among vaccinated children aged 5-11 is now higher than it is among their unvaccinated peers for the first time since the data started being collected.
The flip has been in the making for months, as the infection rate for vaccinated children has been creeping closer to the rate of unvaccinated cases for quite some time, eventually surpassing the latter in the week ending on Feb 19th.
That week, which is the latest available data, the rate of Covid cases detected in children aged 5–11 was 122 per 100,000 for the unvaccinated and 131 per 100,000 for the vaccinated.
Just one week earlier, the rate was 248 and 244 per 100,000 for the unvaccinated and vaccinated respectively.
And a month prior, the infection rate was nearly 1,800 per 100,000 in unvaccinated and over 1,340 per 100,000 in the vaccinated during the week ending Jan. 15.
So, despite a meteoric drop-off in cases – over 10× in just a month – the vaccinated case rate lept above the case rate for the unvaccinated.
What’s most concerning though, especially with the Federal Government’s continued push to vaccinate younger and younger children, is that the most recent data on 5–11-year-olds shows that they, among all other vaccinated age groups, had the highest infection rate in the US.
As for hospitalizations and deaths, the CDC also tracks those cases by vaccinated and unvaccinated categories, but the agency does not publish the data for 5-11-year-olds, due to “low numbers,” so there is no information available in that regard, according to The Epoch Times.
Somehow, despite all of the serious red flags surrounding this vaccine – it doesn’t even stop the spread of the virus (as evidenced by the boosters, let alone the poor results) – the Fauci-led Public Health ‘experts’ are preparing to authorize a fourth dose of the experimental jab and are working to greenlight the vaccine for infants and toddlers.
It’s pure evil.
As several actual experts have been warning for months, this is the most dangerous vaccine ever to be released to the public. In just under a year and a half in circulation, VAERS has logged over a million cases of adverse side effects from the mRNA Covid vaccine, including over 26,000 deaths, 14,827 cases of Bells Palsy, 37,133 cases of Myocarditis/Pericarditis, and 48,342 reports of permanent disability, among others.
The sheer number of reports, especially those of a serious nature, is an astounding number and completely unprecedented for any other vaccine. In the past, vaccines would be pulled if they were linked to double-digit deaths, let alone tens of thousands.
From OpenVaers:
And broken down to only include children. Note the chart on the bottom – VAERS reports in this age range for 2021 are double any other year recorded and almost 10× the number from 2020 – what changed? The introduction of mRNA vaccines:
Keep in mind, this virus has a 99.95-99.99% recovery rate – and with children or young people, it’s even higher. So forcing this experimental jab on them is completely criminal and pure evil.
After approving the experimental mRNA jab for children as young as five a few months back, the tyrannical US Public Health Regime is pushing ahead with its plan to vaccinate even younger children despite mounting evidence that the jab may actually be facilitating the spread of the virus among them.
Not to even mention the numerous and life-threatening side effects, like myocarditis and bells palsy, that frequently manifest after receiving the experimental mRNA jab.
