Posted By: earlybird, 11/7/2023 3:05:27 PM
During the past three fiscal years, $4.1 billion in federal money from taxpayers has flowed to LGBT initiatives in the United States and around the world, an Epoch Times investigation has revealed. From Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2023, the U.S. government issued more than 1,100 grants to fund LGBT-promoting projects around the world, according to a review of a federal spending website. The scope of projects varies widely. Plans to create a "safe space for LGBTQ youth and adults to seek support and resources" earned a $1.8 million grant from the U.S. government in 2022 for the LGBT Life Center in Norfolk, Virginia.

Kelsey Grammer was reportedly cut off during a recent interview with BBC Radio 4, after the actor acknowledged that he supports former President Donald Trump.
Grammer, 68, appeared on the national radio station’s Today program to discuss his new “Frasier” reboot.
According to the show’s host, Justin Webb, it was Paramount, the studio behind the show, that pulled the plug on the conversation after Grammer acknowledged his support of the former president and current presidential candidate.
The Supreme Court on Dec. 5 will take up an important but little-noticed case about "unrealized" income that considers the constitutional limitations on federal taxing power.
The case is significant because the court could use it to strike down the Mandatory Repatriation Tax (MRT), also known as the Section 965 transition tax, (snip)
Conservative constitutionalists say if the Supreme Court finds that the MRT violates the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, such a legal precedent could prevent Congress from enacting legislation to tax wealth.
Former President Donald Trump's lawyers argued in the Georgia election case that the charges should be thrown out because it's a violation of his "free speech" and also noted that if he wins the 2024 presidential election, the Fulton County trial cannot go through.
During a roughly six-hour hearing in Fulton County on Dec. 1, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee asked Mr. Sadow what would happen if President Trump wins the 2024 election and if the trial hasn't occurred yet.
“Under the Supremacy Clause and its duty to the president of the United States, this trial would not take place at all until after he left his term of office,”
Yesterday, we noted the warrant demand from Special Counsel Jack Smith to Twitter, that included the demand for all information on Donald Trump’s account that relates to his followers and supporters. {LINK} However, the element for this focus is the granular demand for user metadata, and the bigger picture for 2024.

Never Trumpers have found their man and surprise, surprise Sergeant Carter, it’s a woman.CNBC reported, “JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon urged Democrats to support Nikki Haley in the GOP presidential primary, arguing that she offers a strong alternative to former President Donald Trump.”
If you know the background context, the latest developments in the Seth Rich laptop legal battle could be extremely interesting. However, despite a very favorable court ruling, I caution against too much optimism – the stakes in this ancillary story to the targeting of President Donald Trump are extremely high.
The bottom line of the latest development is that a judge has given the DOJ 14 days to turn over the contents of the laptop belonging to former DNC staffer Seth Rich. There are multiple points of information that point toward Seth Rich having downloaded the DNC email files and shared them with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
In the era where they refuse to accept their irrelevance, billionaires and their political money are easy parted. So goes the game of grift amid the professional political class when contrast against the power of We The People. It’s actually quite funny to watch and doesn’t annoy me one bit.
Charles Koch, a man of notorious disposition who loves open borders and multinational trade – which puts him on the outside of the America First movement, had previously pledged to spend $70 million (through his American’s For Prosperity political action committee) to remove President Trump.

For several years many people have made inquiries about CTH content not being available on their devices. I have always responded with the same answer, check your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and if you are using AT&T or a regional subsidiary therein,(snip)

The former police officer who was convicted of killing George Floyd was stabbed in prison, the state's top law enforcement official said.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison told news outlets that he was informed that Derek Chauvin was stabbed.
Mr. Ellison, a Democrat who prosecuted Mr. Chauvin, said that Mr. Chauvin was in stable condition.
"I am sad to hear that Derek Chauvin was the target of violence," Mr. Ellison said. "He was duly convicted of his crimes and, like any incarcerated individual, he should be able to serve his sentence without fear of retaliation or violence."
Doctors who tried to save the life of President John F Kennedy after he was shot in 1963 said they believed there was 'more than one shooter' in interviews that are set to air for the first time.
The medics spoke out in 2013 but the footage was kept under wraps for a decade.
It will feature in new documentary JFK Assassination: What Happened in the Trauma Room?, which airs on Channel 5 on Sunday.
Several doctors who were in the emergency room when former President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 raised serious doubts about the official narrative that says a lone gunman was responsible, according to a new documentary featuring interviews conducted in 2013.
The federal Warren Commission established that two shots fired by lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, who was located in the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, struck President Kennedy from behind as he was traveling in a motorcade in Dallas. One of the bullets entered his upper back and exited near his larynx, while the second bullet entered the right

Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan’s probe into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ indictment against former President Donald Trump has seen an interesting turn of events. Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, has been looking into the indictment over suspicions that it is motivated more by politics than by a pursuit of justice.
On Tuesday, Jordan sent another letter to Willis highlighting her refusal to comply with the demands in the previous letter the committee sent. Of particular note, however, is a new revelation that Willis’ office reached out to the Democrats’ House Select Jan. 6 Committee to get information that could aid in her effort against Trump.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Aspen Public Radio Reporter Halle Zander reported on the town of Carbondale, Colorado, where a surge of migrants has overwhelmed local resources and forced migrants to sleep outside as temperatures drop.
Zander reported on a migrant from Venezuela who went to Carbondale and “joined a group of about 125 migrants, mostly from Venezuela, who were living under a bridge at the entrance to the small town. She’s hopeful she can find stable housing nearby with her girlfriend and her girlfriend’s kids.” But “Carbondale doesn’t have many services to support unhoused people.
In a move that mimics parody, White House "interns" have released an open letter slamming the current president. According to NBC News, which viewed the letter, the "more than 40 interns" accused Joe Biden of ignoring their pleas for a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza. Further, the letter proclaims that the interns will "no longer remain silent on the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people." Of note is that there is no genocide occurring of the Palestinian people.

Giving the pol who told women being raped to 'lie back and enjoy it,' a run for his money, we now have this unwanted advice, from the chief of a women's advocacy group: (Snip) Graves was giving testimony in Congress about transgender athletes dominating women's sports, owing to their athletically superior biological male bodily structures.
She claimed that transgender athletes, who are basically taking virtually all the medals in women's sports now, are no different from actual women in competitive sports. Winning, she claimed with a smiley face, was all about "having really good resources and facilities," "coaching" and "how hard you work."
Far-left squad leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made the false claim that “all” girls will have their genitals examined if laws are passed banning men from women’s sports.
The noted socialist made her bizarre claim during a hearing with the House Oversight Subcommittee on Health this Tuesday, which featured activist swimmer Riley Gaines. According to AOC, laws banning men from women’s sports include policies that would force girls to have their genitals checked if someone disbelieves their expressed gender.
“We are talking about opening up all women and girls to genital examinations
