Pelosi in Peril: 32 House Democrats Have Announced Retirement

By ,

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in a real political pickle ahead of November’s midterm elections. Of the 49 House lawmakers who’ve announced they will not be seeking reelection, 32 of them are Democrats.

Fifty-five total members of Congress will not be running this year, which breaks down into 6 U.S. Senators and 49 House lawmakers.

Ballotpedia reports:

  • The 55 retiring members include 32 Democrats and 23 Republicans, accounting for 11.9% of the Democratic caucus and 8.8% of the Republican caucus.
  • The 11.9% retirement rate among Democrats is the largest since 2014 when 8.5% of Democrats did not run for re-election.
  • The 8.8% retirement rate among Republicans is the second-lowest since 2014. The only year with a lower retirement rate was 2016 when 8.6% of Republicans retired.
  • Democrats had their lowest retirement rates out of the past five cycles in 2018 and 2020, when 7.4% and 3.4%, respectively, of the caucus did not seek re-election.
  • Republicans had their highest retirement rates out of the past five cycles in those years, with 12.6% of the caucus retiring in 2018 and 11.5% in 2020.

The 8.8% retirement rate among Republicans is the second-lowest since 2014. The only year with a lower retirement rate was 2016 when 8.6% of Republicans retired. Democrats had their lowest retirement rates out of the past five cycles in 2018 and 2020, when 7.4% and 3.4%, respectively, of the caucus did not seek re-election. Republicans had their highest retirement rates out of the past five cycles in those years, with 12.6% of the caucus retiring in 2018 and 11.5% in 2020

As it stands, Pelosi has a minuscule majority in the House of Representatives and Republicans win back the lower chamber, well, it’s already being reported that Pelosi will likely retire.

Nationwide redistricting is about to take place and will likely see Republicans picking up some seats. Even Democrats see the writing on the wall, many believe they will lose control of the house after the midterms.

While speaking with Politico, Tim Persico, the executive director of the Maloney-led Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), shared data with incumbents showing that several House Democrats are at risk of losing their seats to Republican challengers.

“We are not afraid of this data … We’re not trying to hide this,” Persico told Politico. “If [Democrats] use it, we’re going to hold the House. That’s what this data tells us, but we gotta get in action.”

No matter which way you slice it, Democrats have their work out for them. The GOP are raking in historic gobs of cash, setting fundraising records. In addition to that, the once-in-a-decade redistricting process – pegged to the 2020 census – is expected to generally favor Republicans over Democrats

Suspected FBI Front Group “Patriot Front” Arrested Outside of Pride Parade in Idaho

31 members of the highly suspicious “Patriot Front” group were arrested in Coeur d’Alene Idaho on Saturday, allegedly en route to disrupt a gay pride event being held in a city park.

The group was picked up on “conspiracy to riot” charges which stemmed from law enforcement penetrating the group chats. Many conservatives view the group with contempt, believing the Patriot Front is an FBI concoction or at the very least heavily influenced by the feds.

The weirdly coordinated group made its debut back in December after conducting a march through DC. The band of white males dress awfully similar to FBI personnel in khaki pants with blue tops and tend to be in better shape than the average American male. 


The group came out of nowhere and immediately drew scrutiny. Right Angle’s Bill Whittle and Steve Green were among the first to talk about the group and their strange display.

Even Joe Rogan called out the group for looking suspiciously fed-like:

The group has also appeared outside of several Donald Trump rallies, mask-clad and brandishing upside-down American Flags (Two things decried by most patriots).

And now we have this, conspiracy to riot.

Independent reporter Alissa Azar posted videos from the scene:

As per Alissa Azar:

“and then there were none. I need to cool down then I’ll post some more footage. got images of almost all their faces. cops said that they got arrested because of the feds in their group chats. all charged with conspiracy to riot. a helicopter followed before they got pulled over”

Law enforcement has claimed that they were tipped off via a chatroom that they had personnel embedded in, similar to a story we reported on recently about the FED who knew the Buffalo shooter was going to act through a similar chatroom. Unlike the Buffalo shooting,  a bunch of idiots in masks was actually worth their time.

FBI Says That it “Will Not Tolerate Violence” Ahead of SCOTUS Decision on Roe v Wade

By ,

This week the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a strong warning that it would work to prosecute any acts of violence that may occur in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling on Roe v Wade, which is set to take place later this month.

File this under “Things nobody believes” alongside the mostly peaceful protests of 2020.

In a joint statement with U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, Steven M. D’Antuono of the FBI’s Washington Field Office said that the two agencies are:

 “committed to protecting the First Amendment rights of all Americans to express their views peacefully during demonstrations that take place on a regular basis in the nation’s capital, including at the Supreme Court.”

“We also have a responsibility to ensure public safety and the orderly conduct of government business. We will not tolerate violence, destruction, interference with government functions, or trespassing on government property. We are committed to working closely with our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to stop any individuals who intend to commit violence or criminal activity under the guise of carrying out a demonstration.”

The statement comes as tensions over abortion rights are reaching a boiling point after an unprecedented security breach of the Supreme Court ignited a fiery backlash. 

The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling later this month that will overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that nationalized abortion rights in the United States.

Activists have in recent weeks been taking protests to the homes of Supreme Court justices; the controversy reached a grim crescendo this week when an individual was reportedly arrested en route to assassinate the Trump-appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Narrative Shift: DOD Finally Admits There Are US Funded Biolabs in Ukraine

The United Nations security council met not long after Russia officially began its “special military operation” in Ukraine. During the meeting, representatives from the Russian Federation claimed that the US was funding “military biological activities” in Ukraine – right at Russia’s doorstep no less – but was swiftly denounced by the US as “Russian propaganda”.

The Biolab story first came to our attention in March 2022, prior to the UN meeting, when our own Justin Deschamps reported:

“Days after Twitter suspended an account for the high crime of accurately reporting that BioLab facilities in Ukraine match up with Russian targets in their ongoing operations, the US Embassy in Ukraine appears to have scrubbed various PDF fact sheets and documents from their official site… 

the US Embassy scrubbed several PDF fact sheets from their website. The links to the right of the linked website are all broken.

Thankfully an archive was made.

Here is a post on Gab made by @IamTHE3percent detailing the situation.”

In March, Tulsi Gabbard made a statement about the conflict in Ukraine.

Mitt Romney lashed out at former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for speaking out against the US-funded Biolabs in Ukraine.

Gabbard made her statement based on testimony from the Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs in Eurasia, Victoria Nuland.

Victoria Nuland admitted during testimony before a US Senate committee the existence of biological research labs in Ukraine. Of course, the fake news-media complex then attacked anyone who brought up the Biolabs in Ukraine.

But now, the tables are turning.

On Thursday, the Pentagon admitted in a public statement that there are indeed 46 US-funded Biolabs across Ukraine. This comes after months of denials from the Biden administration and the legacy media.

As per the Pentagon:

The United States has also worked collaboratively to improve Ukraine’s biological safety, security, and disease surveillance for both human and animal health, providing support to 46 peaceful Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and disease diagnostic sites over the last two decades. The collaborative programs have focused on improving public health and agricultural safety measures at the nexus of nonproliferation.

Here is a screengrab from the US Department of Defense website.

The plot surrounding the Pentagon-run biological weapons laboratories in Ukraine and elsewhere continues to thicken, as evidence shows that Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) is also involved.

The EHA is a longtime partner of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which has been funding its bioweapons operations in Africa and elsewhere.

The EHA works with Metabiota, the US company funded by US Department of Defence’s Threat Reduction Agency (“DTRA”) to operate Biolabs in Ukraine, was founded by Nathan Wolfe who is linked to the Global Virome Project, EcoHealth, World Economic Forum, and Jeffrey Epstein.

Metabiota is also directly connected to Hunter Biden as his firm Rosemont Seneca provided capital for the firms behind the Biolabs creation.

The Gateway Pundit identified through the Wayback Machine that Rosemont Seneca provided capital (invested in) Metabiota as noted on the firm’s website back in 2014.

The Pentagon admitting to having 46 Biolabs in Ukraine is a step in the right direction, if the mainstream media would do its job and report on the other findings mentioned here, that would be even better.

The Tax-Exempt Foundation Rebranding Pedophilia as ‘Ageplay’

By ,

Originally published @ The Daily Bell

Ageplay is the latest attempt to mainstream the obscene fetishes of “minor-attracted persons” (“MAPS”), who normal people call pedophiles.

Prostasia Foundation, the “nonprofit” that promotes it, defines ageplay as “a form of role-play in which at least one of the participants adopts the role or mindset of someone younger—a teenager, child, or even a baby.”

Prostasia Foundation: ‘online ageplay’ with ‘underage partners’ is ‘hot’

San Francisco-based nonprofit Prostasia Foundation’s blog post titled “Online ageplay safety tips” says:

“Although it may be tempting to launch into an online ageplay scene while the energy is hot, it’s important to begin the scene by having the ‘underage’ partner confirm their real age.”

By “confirming their real age,” presumably, the Foundation means the foolproof method of clicking a button that says “I am 18.”

Fascinatingly, Prostasia markets itself as a sex-positive “child protection organization”.

Their PR people made an “Our Values” graphic to let law enforcement know they are all about preventing child sex abuse.

The Foundation hosts a “MAP Support Club (MSC),” a “safe, chat-based peer-support network for teenagers and adults who self-identify as being attracted to younger minors.”

It’s safe! There’s definitely not any networking of child porn traffickers going down on the MAP Support Club! No sharing of explicit images there! It’s about support, and understanding. Because it’s liberal, and loving.

The whole goal is preventing child sexual abuse — not destigmatizing, normalizing, and mainstreaming it!

Meet totally trustworthy, non-predator Prostasia founder/director Jeremy Malcolm

Here’s Prostasia founder/director Jeremy Malcolm, the man in charge of promoting greater acceptance of pedophilia and “ageplay”:

Above: Jeremy Malcolm is totally trustworthy around your children. Protecting them is job #1 for Malcolm — it says so in Prostasia’s “our values” pyramid.

Prostasia founder: we’re open to pedophile ‘volunteers’

Jeremy Malcolm wants potential Prostasia “volunteers” to know that the children’s safety advocacy Foundation is a safe space for open pedophiles.

 

Via a May 2020 Prostasia newsletter titled Rising to the challenge of prevention:

“Why do we welcome people who are sexually stigmatized* as allies in our mission of child sexual abuse prevention?…

The short answer is we don’t treat people as assets or liabilities, we treat them as human beings. We won’t dehumanize or scapegoat anyone for the sake of our boosting our popularity with donors.”

*”people who are sexually stigmatized” = outed pedophiles

Prostasia defends child porn on social media

Doubtless, the ultra-libs at Prostasia would mindlessly cheerlead social media censorship of “anti-vaxxers” or Russians or MAGA domestic terrorists or whatever other opponents of the Deep State.

But the institution will adamantly defend child porn on those same platforms.

Prostasia recruits corporate media goon as communications director

In August 2021, Prostasia onboarded Atlantic, the Washington Post, and NBC Think contributor Noah Berlatsky as communications director.

Here Noah is communicating how criticizing pedophile advocacy “nonprofits” like Prostasia is actually anti-semitic, and transphobic:

“pedophilia as an identity can be and often is conflated with and attached to the identity of other hated identities; Jewish people, Black people, LGBT people.”

Noah Berlatsky,NBC journalist, totally not a child sex predator, wants you to understand that criticizing sexual abuse of children basically makes you a Holocaust denier

Why doesn’t Prostasia have to pay any taxes for its ‘child advocacy’?

The sweet cherry (no sexual pun intended) on top: Prostasia doesn’t have to pay taxes for its advocacy work “protecting children” by fighting for more child porn on the internet and rebranding pedophilia as a sexual kink, on equal moral footing with a cowboy/cowgirl fantasy.

It’s a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. As such, its $151,699.81 in 2021 income, a $100,000-increase from 2021, was totally tax-free.

 

Who said the tax code is broken? It’s working super well for lucratively-funded nonprofits mainlining pedophilia under the guise of “human rights” advocacy.

Pedophilic grooming is now mainstream leftist politics

MSNBC-of-the-internet Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian melted down recently on air over Joe Rogan’s calm explanation regarding the epidemic of pedophilic grooming among LGBTQ+++© activists.

Rogan cited and criticized the prolific child grooming videos that American millennial teachers routinely post to TikTok (which then get reposted to Libs of TikTok, here’s just one example. They appear daily).

 

As always, the Young Turks reframe Rogan’s criticism of LGBTQ+++© child grooming as “transphobia.” So defending children from sexual predators becomes some sort of culture war wedge issue.

But any honest assessment will show that child grooming, which was once a bridge too far, has gone mainstream in leftist and academic circles.

New York professor: ‘It’s not obvious to me that [adult sex with 12-year-old girls] is wrong’

Publicly-subsidized New York professor Stephen Kershnar explains that adult-child sex is a normal evolutionary impulse — and, therefore, by implication, morally correct. He even absurdly cites the fact that bonobos apparently engage in such activities as further evidence of its moral correctness.

https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1488707103023722497?s=20&t=MFu7g5AmIrE9TXsU0UWssg

This guy is no fringe basement-dweller:

“Stephen Kershnar is a distinguished teaching professor in the philosophy department at the State University of New York at Fredonia and an attorney.”

(Kershnar was suspended from SUNY Fredonia for his pedophilia advocacy despite a widely-signed letter of support from 157 of his colleagues).

Occidental College instructor: ‘you’re talking to a guy who for 25 years has been making arguments more or less in defense of adult-child sex in classrooms’

Another professor at a major US university, Thaddeus Russell, concurred with Kershnar’s moral arguments. But he took it a step further — not merely arguing that it’s morally innocuous, but openly defending “adult-child sex” in classrooms.

https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1488713883451748352?s=20&t=KFfuu3o-Lx1PlhxcxHWzqQ

Like Kershnar, Thaddeus Russell is a mainstream academic and writer:

“[Thaddeus Russell] teaches history and cultural studies at Occidental College and has taught at Columbia University, Barnard College, Eugene Lang College, and the New School for Social Research.”

These are not one-offs; one could literally fill volumes with examples of public school educators from the pre-k to university level engaged in destigmatizing and normalizing pedophilia.

Decency compels us to re-stigmatize them.
