About Those Allegations Against Matt Gaetz
Posted By: ScarletPimpernel, 11/20/2024 3:42:00 PM
Some years ago, I heard that Matt Gaetz had been accused of having sex with an underage girl. Much later, I understood that the claim had turned out to be false and had been dropped. But now, following Gaetz’s nomination as Attorney General, it has reappeared in the guise of a House Ethics Committee investigation and attendant newspaper leaks. Headlines have been full of salacious references to sex with a 17-year-old. I wondered why that was ever a matter for criminal investigation, since in most states 17 would be above the age of consent. But the age of consent is 18 in Florida, where I take the incident supposedly occurred.

Before marrying in 2021, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., was known to be a braggadocious libertine. No conservative wants to defend such behavior, and so many on the Right are remaining silent as Gaetz is accused of also engaging in criminal conduct, paying prostitutes, and having sex with a minor. The claims against Gaetz are but another information operation, however, mirroring the ones that previously targeted Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh. And this pattern will continue unabated unless Americans unflinchingly condemn the tactic — no matter the target.

An illegal alien Tren de Aragua gang member has been convicted on all counts for murdering 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia in February of this year. The felon had been released from the southern border into the United States by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s administration and given a work permit. On Wednesday, an Athens judge found Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien from Venezuela, guilty of murdering Laken Riley after stalking her on an early morning jog around the University of Georgia (UGA) campus on Feb. 22, 2024.
Amid the stunning revelation that Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful presidential campaign ended up $20 million in the red, despite raising $1 billion from donors, a new report has found that the rock concerts that her campaign staged on the night before the election — featuring Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and others — collectively cost around that same amount, up to $20 million. Now vendors and others who worked on those concerts, which were meant to persuade “low-propensity voters” to turn out for Harris, are reportedly facing the prospect of unpaid invoices.
There is a new movie out called “Fly Me To The Moon.” To which I say, “It’s about time, we haven’t been back there in more than 50 years,” as incredible as that may seem. And it does seem incredible, given the (astronomical?!) advances in computer technology during that time. In 1972, when man last walked on the moon, there were no cell phones, no pocket calculators, and only three main television stations in the United States.
Richard Nixon was president. And gasoline was 36 cents a gallon. There was nothing the U.S. couldn’t do or achieve.
And the hits keep coming. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday demanding answers on the attempted assassination attack on President Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania last .Senator Hawley wrote that whistleblowers have notified him that a majority of the security officials working the rally last weekend were not even Secret Service personnel but were with the Homeland Security Investigations team!
Are theatres turning off air-conditioning

to suppress the box office for Sound of Freedom? 13 replies
We have received multiple emails from people saying that theaters are telling patrons that air-conditioning is broken in the auditoriums showing the hit movie Sound of Freedom and offering another movie or a refund. Many people fear that a campaign is underway to suppress the box office totals for the film, which exposes the sex-trafficking of children. The box office success of SoF is particularly embarrassing for Disney, whose ridiculously expensive Indiana Jones movie is performing poorly and unlikely to earn a profit,
Casablanca. At the time it was made, none of the actors knew it was destined to be a classic, turning up in list after list of the greatest movies of all time. They didn’t know that lines like “Here’s looking at you, kid,” “We’ll always have Paris,” and “This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship” were going to enter popular culture. They couldn’t predict that Casablanca’s plot continues to be inspiring, with the studiously disinterested Rick Blaine and the corrupt Captain Renault shaking off their apathy when they realized the size of the Nazi threat and saw that people would willingly sacrifice themselves to fight back.
El Salvador's President Nayim Bukele is something of a freak, a loose cannon. His twitter photo should give you the idea:
I can't tell if he's on the right or left, he's some kind of opportunist who's often described as a caudillo. He's an ex-communist with Venezuelan advisors, as the screen shot indicates at the top. But apparently the country's real communists don't like him. He's trashed his country's future by dropping the U.S. dollar as the country's currency and replacing it with bitcoin, an unreliable ledger currency favored by drug dealers, money launderers, and fast-buck speculators.

Omarova, has been busted for shoplifting

As we often say about Joe Biden, he knows how to pick 'em. So now we have the revelation from the Washington Free Beacon that the Soviet-honored, Soviet-educated Saule Omarova, who wants to nationalize your bank account for the state, has a record as a petty thief. Saule Omarova, whom Biden tapped to serve as Comptroller of the Currency, was arrested after she was caught stuffing $214 worth of clothes, shoes, cologne, and belts in her purse at a T.J. Maxx in Madison, Wis., in May 1995. Omarova was 28 years old at the time and studying for her doctorate at the University of Wisconsin.
The same sort of anti-White racist, left wing revolutionaries that have burned swaths of American cities are terrorizing parts of Canada with terroristic arson attacks. But lacking any history of slavery or historic oppression of Blacks, the Canadian thugs have seized upon alleged mistreatment of indigenous peoples, called “First Canadians” according to recent local custom north of the border.
The result has been a wave of church burnings recently, including ten churches in Alberta on Canada’s national holiday, Canada Day, just a few days ago.
Whether you believe in QAnon or not, one of the points that Q made was the claim that pedophilia tied together many of the world’s power brokers. That’s would make it unsurprising that Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted pedophile who continued his wicked ways even after his conviction, had such a big network of rich and powerful people who knew about his vicious propensities and seemingly didn’t care. Even knowing that, it’s still big news to learn that Bill Gates, one of the world’s richest and most powerful men, had a deep friendship with Epstein.

Outgoing Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) — a member of the far-left “Squad” — is demanding that the next Star Wars movie features a black Jedi lead character, saying he will refuse to watch and will even denounce the movie franchise if his demand isn’t met.
The threat to the Walt Disney Company comes as the studio recently announced a new Star Wars movie trilogy in the making from X-Men veteran Simon Kinberg.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who is set to leave Congress in January after losing his primary, made his demand known in an X post on Tuesday.
“If the lead Jedi is not a Black [sic] man I ain’t messing with yall.
The left really is having a difficult time coping with Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 elections. Some celebrities have even "moved out" of the country. On Wednesday evening, we learned that comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi have moved to rural England. It's not all that it seems, though, because they already owned the home in Great Britain. But they are selling their Montecito, Calif., estate.
Not all celebs who claimed to be worried about a Trump dictatorship are leaving the country, though. Most are just leaving X/Twitter.
Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination as Donald Trump's attorney general amid a report alleging he had a threesome with one minor and one adult.
Gaetz announced his shocking decision on social media.
'I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback - and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance,' he wrote on X.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi flippin’ love Montecito.
They do. They love it so much they have reportedly owned and/or flipped at least 21 properties there. Nevertheless, they are ditching Santa Barbara County.
The ex-Montecitans are now expats after the reelection of a certain ex-president, the Wrap reports. DeGeneres and De Rossi are now at home in the U.K.
The pair are voracious home buyers. They have bought and sold a number of properties around L.A., yet the Santa Barbara area was a particular favorite. Site Line, which keeps an eye on upscale real estate in those parts, said in February that DeGeneres and De Rossi had spent at least $350 million
European nations are gearing up for an all-out war on the continent as Ukraine launched US-made missiles into Russia for the first time and Vladimir Putin officially lowered the threshold for Moscow to consider a nuclear strike.
Germany's foreign minister yesterday vowed her country 'will not be intimidated' by Putin, just one day after German media revealed the nation will transform into a NATO staging ground if the conflict to the East should escalate.
According to a 1,000-page document entitled 'Operationsplan Deutschland', Germany would reportedly host hundreds of thousands of troops from NATO countries and serve as a logistics hub for sending huge quantities of military equipment,
Panic engulfed MSNBC headquarters on Wednesday after parent company Comcast confirmed a massive spinoff of its cable properties — with a top executive even suggesting the left-leaning network may be forced to change its name.
MSNBC stars Rachel Maddow, Chris Jansing and Katy Tur joined a tense 10 a.m. meeting at 30 Rock in Midtown led by NBCUniversal chairman Mark Lazarus, who will lead the new company, sources told The Post.
Staffers fearing looming layoffs peppered him with questions about if the network will need to change its name, logos and headquarters after reports surfaced that the new entity could be cut off
Both before the November 5 presidential election and after, there’s been plenty of talk about President Joe Biden stepping down and making Vice President Kamala Harris America’s first female president. Despite ardent backing from Democratic Party stalwarts, the idea isn’t a popular one, as the latest I&I/TIPP poll indicates.
Some Democrat activists, humbled by the Electoral College drubbing they took from former (and soon to be current) President Donald Trump, have pushed hard to have the age-hobbled Biden step down from the office of the presidency so that Kamala can take over and make history —
What does “resistance” look like?
When Denver isn’t busing illegal aliens to New York and Chicago, its mayor is trying to act like enforcing American immigration law and deporting illegal aliens is Tiananmen Square all over again.
The mayor also takes heart that the people of Denver — not just the administration — would likely resist a mass deportation effort from federal forces.
“More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Johnston said. “It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?”
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the war in Gaza and the October 2023 attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in the Palestinian territory.
The decision turns Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects and is likely to further isolate them and complicate efforts to negotiate a cease-fire to end the 13-month conflict. But its practical implications could be limited since Israel and its major ally, the United States,

Jen Rubin: ‘Republicans Want to Kill
Your Kids’ (Video) 21 replies
Jen Rubin, a columnist for the Washington Post, has truly lost her mind.
This has been building for several years now. The 2016 election of Donald Trump broke her mind and since then, instead of finally coming to her senses, she has gotten progressively worse. This goes beyond Trump Derangement Syndrome. This woman obviously has serious mental health issues but for some reason, is still employed by the Post.
Rubin was recently doing some sort of podcast type of broadcast, and while offering political advice to the left, suggested saying that Republicans want to kill your kids,
At times, it can feel like the country is only concerned about all things red and blue, but if you're a business owner, you're typically only worried about another color: green (despite what Whoopi Goldberg says). However, one woman in Tennessee broke that unspoken rule and decided she only wanted to work with people who supported her own political views. The backlash came so fast and furiously that she had to shut down her business.

commitment to DEI resurface after 'woke' rebrand 19 replies
Recent comments from a head marketing director at Jaguar are now drawing attention after the brand launched a polarizing rebrand of the luxury car company this week. [SNIP] "We're on a transformative journey of our own. Driven by a belief in diversity, inclusion, creativity, policy and, most importantly, action. We've established over 15 DEI groups such as Pride, which are here tonight, and Women in Engineering and Neurodiversity Matters," Pietrosanti said.
"We've launched major policy revisions such as transitioning at work to drive equity and support for our communities, embracing individuality as our superpower," he continued.

According to Mollie Hemmingway's article, linked in this piece, the accuser, one Joel Greenberg, currently serving eleven years in jail, is "one of the most corrupt Florida politicians of all time" who has "a history of false sex smears."
