US To Revoke Colombian President’s Visa After He Urged US Soldiers To Defy Orders

The U.S. State Department said on Sept. 26 that it would revoke Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s visa after he called on U.S. soldiers to disobey orders during his visit to New York.

“Earlier today, Colombian president @petrogustavo stood on a NYC street and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence,” the department stated on X.

“We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions,” it added. The department did not provide further details about the incident.

Petro traveled to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, though it is unclear whether he is still in the city.

His office shared a series of videos on social media showing him addressing a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters gathering outside UN headquarters in New York on Sept. 26.

“I ask all the soldiers of the U.S. army, do not point your guns at the people,” Petro said through a translator in one of the videos.

Disobey [President Donald] Trump’s orders. Obey the orders of humanity.” 

No soldiers appear to be visible in the videos shared by the Colombian president’s office.

Neither the Colombian government nor Petro has issued a response statement to the U.S. State Department’s decision.

In his Sept. 24 address to the UN General Assembly, Petro called on other nations to form “a powerful army” to help defend Palestine from the Israel-Hamas war, which has been ongoing since Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel.  

The Colombian president said that diplomacy had failed to resolve the war and that it’s time for the international community to take a different approach.

“We need a powerful army of countries that do not accept genocide. That is why I invite nations of the world and their peoples more than anything, as an integral part of humanity, to bring together weapons and armies to defend Palestine,” Petro said.

Matt Taibbi on Jim Comey: “Think of the National Security Implications of Implying that Your Own President is a Spy for a Foreign Country!… You Cannot Let That Go On”

Investigative journalist Matt Taibbi joined Jesse Watters on Friday night to discuss the James Comey indictments.

Taibbi blasted Comey for leaking false documents to the leftist press accusing President Trump of being a Russian spy. This was something Comey KNEW was factually incorrect and yet he took these actions to take down a sitting US President.

The criminal charges against Comey are much more serious than what the media is reporting!

In a previous time in American history Comey would be hung for treason.

Matt Taibbi: “People have to remember what is the substance of these lies? What were they for? These news stories that were put out there that were leaked to the press, the thrust of them was that Donald Trump was under the throes of a foreign government. He was a Russian agent.

Think of the national security implications of implying that your own president is a spy for a foreign country.

Would that be tolerated in any normal country?

You cannot let that go on. You can’t have an FBI director doing these kinds of things and engaging these sorts of manipulations and lying to Congress about it and getting away with it.”

Jesse Watters: Yeah, he basically framed him as a traitor. What’s the punishment for treason? We all know what that is. I mean, this is the worst thing you can possibly do…

Matt Taibbi: One thing I think we’ve learned during the Russiagate period is that James Comey has a peculiar vanity that I think is often his undoing.

He often thinks that he’s being clever when he’s not. He often thinks that he’s showing tremendous rectitude when he’s actually looking like a phony on television.

The more exposure that he gets for himself, I think actually the more it will redound to Trump’s benefit.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s good if he’s on television more during this period.

Atlanta forfeits $37.5M in airport funds after refusing to agree to Trump’s DEI ban

Atlanta’s airport has forfeited at least $37.5 million because city leaders have refused to disavow diversity, equity and inclusion programs as mandated by President Donald Trump’s administration.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world’s busiest airport by passenger traffic, declined on July 29 to agree to terms set out by the Federal Aviation Administration. Those terms certify that the airport doesn’t “operate any programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws.”

That language mirrors a January executive order signed by Trump banning DEI programs operated by anyone doing business with or receiving money from the federal government.

The FAA told the Atlanta airport, owned and controlled by the city government, that it was holding back $57 million, The Journal-Constitution reports. But federal authorities said $19 million of that money would be available to Atlanta in the next federal budget year if it agrees to the language then.

The money would have gone to repave taxiways and renovate public restrooms, among other projects.

HOW ORIGINAL: Whoopi Goldberg Wants to Use the 25th Amendment to Remove Trump From Office

This week, after Trump’s amazing speech at the United Nations, Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of the toxic TV show ‘The View’ suggested that the 25th Amendment should be used to remove Trump from office.

How original! We’ve never heard anything like this before now.

Whoopi Goldberg does not understand that we’re not doing this again. We’re not allowing the left to try to remove Trump from office like they did for four years in his first term.

Trump won the Electoral College and the popular vote last November. Grumpy Whoopi can go pound sand. Does anyone recall her saying this while the walking zombie Biden was in office?

The New York Post reports:

Whoopi Goldberg calls for invoking 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office after UN speech: ‘I’m worried’

Whoopi Goldberg suggested forcibly removing President Trump from office over his “unhelpful” United Nations General Assembly speech — igniting a firestorm of backlash online.

The lefty co-host of “The View” declared that other world leaders are “really concerned for” the US under Trump’s leadership.

“He had a chance to deliver much more than what he did, and they don’t consider him to be serious anymore. I’m worried,” Goldberg said during Wednesday’s show.

The former actress then suggested invoking the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a president who is deemed unable to fulfill the duties of the office.

“Well, they questioned Biden’s competence. If Biden had acted like this I would have said, ‘Yeah take him’ … This was not presidential and this was not helpful,” Goldberg said.

She really is a dishonest idiot, isn’t she?

Secret Service now on case of bloodthirsty California man who proudly called for murder of Donald Trump

The Secret Service said it is looking into a video of a California man who openly called for the murder of President Donald Trump on camera. 

The shocking clip was shared by Shane Ginsberg, who runs The Street Poller, to his X profile showing his interaction with the unknown man. 

‘F*** Donald Trump, he’s racist and he’s a pedophile’, the man said to Ginsberg who  informed him that Trump would remain in power for the next three years. 

Unfazed, the man shockingly continued: ‘We already killed his friend, and the next one is Donald Trump. You’ll be next to for doing that weird a** s***.’

The crass remark about his friend clearly referred to conservative debater Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier this month in Utah.  

The unidentified man walked away from the camera, and when asked to return continued on his way while he lobbed threats at Ginsberg. 

The camera man then said: ‘you walk away buddy’, causing the man to turn around on the spot and walk back towards him – again making verbal threats. 

‘You want to get your a** kicked? I have a gun license to protect myself, I’ll beat your a** up bad.’

REPORT: Disgraced Former FBI Director James Comey Expected to SURRENDER Today, Friday Morning

On Thursday evening, the Department of Justice finally dropped the hammer on one of the most crooked swamp creatures in American history.

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two felony charges: making false statements and obstruction of justice.

A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia returned two counts against Comey, just days after President Trump demanded that his DOJ act “now” to hold Comey and other corrupt operatives accountable.

James Comey built his career on dishonesty and abuse of power. He repeatedly lied to Congress and the FISA court to secure illegal warrants against President Trump and his allies during the hoax “Russiagate” witch hunt.

Comey knew as early as 2016 that the Steele Dossier was fabricated opposition research, yet he used it anyway to weaponize the FBI against a sitting President.

For years, he operated as a partisan hitman inside the Bureau, greenlighting lawless spying operations and leaking strategically to the press to damage Trump.

Taking Meds You Don’t Need To Spite Trump While Pregnant Makes You A Horrible Mother

arlier this week, President Trump cautioned pregnant women against taking Tylenol unless it is medically necessary, as the active ingredient, acetaminophen, may potentially increase the risk of autism. In response, numerous pregnant women have taken to social media to share videos of themselves, appearing healthy while defiantly taking Tylenol as a demonstration of their trust in science. While their actions may not affect Trump, they could pose risks to their babies.

The prevalence of autism diagnoses among American children is alarmingly increasing. According to a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2022, 1 in 31 children aged 8 years had been diagnosed with autism. Some attribute this rise to heightened public awareness and more effective screening methods.

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took office as secretary of Health and Human Services, he made a firm commitment to uncover the underlying causes of the rising autism rates. After collaborating with a team of researchers for several months, Kennedy presented his findings to President Trump. The research indicated a link between acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, and autism. This conclusion was drawn from several existing studies, including a review conducted by Dr. Andrea Baccarelli, a dean at Harvard University’s School of Public Health.

The finding prompted a major news conference on Sept. 22, in which President Trump, joined by Secretary Kennedy and esteemed health advisers, made an urgent public announcement. Trump strongly advised pregnant women to avoid Tylenol unless absolutely necessary (the medication has long been the only go-to remedy for fever reduction during pregnancy). Additionally, Secretary Kennedy urged doctors to exercise their “best judgment” in prescribing acetaminophen to pregnant women, recommending the “lowest effective dose” for the shortest duration required. This guidance emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the health of both mother and child during this critical time.

Since the news conference, netizens uncovered a 2017 Twitter post from Tylenol, which stated: “We actually don’t recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today.”

President Trump’s caution regarding a possible connection between Tylenol and autism sparked immediate backlash. Detractors highlighted another study that found no link between acetaminophen and autism. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board accused Secretary Kennedy of “carrying water for his friends in the plaintiffs bar” and raised concerns about Baccarelli’s objectivity, given his role as an expert witness in an ongoing lawsuit against Tylenol’s manufacturer, Kenvue Inc.

Questioning the integrity of a study or the motivations of scientists is often a part of scientific discourse. Since scientific understanding is not always definitive, these debates are not only necessary but also crucial, because they ensure a more thorough examination of the facts and guide us towards truth, ultimately benefiting public health and safety.

Kamala Harris Slams Trump for Pardoning ‘the Fentanyl Dealer Ross Ulbricht’

I confess I haven’t read 107 Days, Kamala Harris’ new memoir about her short-lived presidential campaign, cover to cover. But I did read at least one sentence, and it was a doozy.

“The Justice Department is going after Trump’s enemies list,” the former vice president writes, “while Trump supporters have been pardoned and released: January 6 rioters who attacked police, the fentanyl dealer Ross Ulbricht, numerous tax cheats.”

Ah, Ross Ulbricht, the fentanyl dealer who was not convicted of actually dealing fentanyl—or any drug—himself.

Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison for his role in operating the Silk Road, an online marketplace where people could buy and sell illicit drugs. “By punishing Ulbricht as if he personally distributed narcotics, the government set a dangerous precedent for internet platforms and personal liability in the digital age,” wrote Editor in Chief Katherine Mangu-Ward in the April issue of Reason. “Pressure to hold platform operators liable for everything from misinformation to sex work has grown in the past decade as Ulbricht and his supporters—especially those in the libertarian and cryptocurrency communities—fought for his freedom.”

Ulbricht ultimately obtained that freedom, as Harris notes, from President Donald Trump, who granted Ulbricht a pardon after he had served 11 years in prison. One need not even approve of Ulbricht’s conduct to understand that clemency here was not the scandal Harris portrays.

His sentence was, for one, grossly disproportionate to his offenses: a double life sentence without the possibility of parole. The only way he would have otherwise been released was in a body bag. Serving more than a decade in prison is no small thing.

But his motivations should also matter, which Harris obscures by reducing Ulbricht to “the fentanyl dealer.”

“The Silk Road began as Ulbricht’s idealistic attempt to make the black market just a little safer by creating a place where people could vet buyers,” notes Reason‘s Zach Weissmueller, “avoid risky in-person transactions, find untainted drugs, and share safety information.” Indeed, Ulbricht, who has expressed remorse multiple times for any harm he caused, has said he “was trying to do something good.”

Harris isn’t wrong that Trump has issued pardons to some undeserving recipients. She could have chosen to highlight Scott Jenkins, for instance, the Virginia sheriff who was convicted of accepting cash bribes from businessmen in exchange for appointing them as auxiliary deputy sheriffs, a sworn law enforcement position, so they could take advantage of the special privileges associated with that role. Jenkins was sentenced to ten years in prison but did not serve a day of that. Why? “No MAGA left behind,” said Pardon Attorney Ed Martin on X.

Even still, Harris is entitled to her opinion on whether or not Ulbricht succeeded in his goal to “do something good.” Her throwaway line about him in her new book, however, is a reminder that no matter how many times she has tried to position herself as someone who supports redemption and sensible criminal justice reform—and to run away from her tough-on-crime past—she is still ever the prosecutor.

Trump Calls For the Arrest of UN Escalator Saboteurs, Demands Investigation Into Three “Very Sinister Events”

President Trump on Wednesday evening called for the UN staffers who intentionally stopped the escalators at the United Nations this week to be jailed.

Trump also demanded an investigation into three “very sinister events” that took place at the United Nations.

“A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster. This was absolutely sabotage, as noted by a day’s earlier “post” in The London Times that said UN workers “joked about turning off an escalator.” The people that did it should be arrested! Then, as I stood before a Television crowd of millions of people all over the World, and important Leaders in the Hall, my teleprompter didn’t work. It was stone cold dark. I immediately thought to myself, “Wow, first the escalator event, and now a bad teleprompter. What kind of a place is this?” I then proceeded to make a Speech without a teleprompter, which kicked in about 15 minutes later. The good news is the Speech has gotten fantastic reviews. Maybe they appreciated the fact that very few people could have done what I did. And third, after making the Speech, I was told that the sound was completely off in the Auditorium where the Speech was made, that World Leaders, unless they used the interpreters’ earpieces, couldn’t hear a thing. The first person I saw at the conclusion of the Speech was Melania, who was sitting right up front. I said, “How did I do?” And she said, “I couldn’t hear a word you said.” This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I’m sending a copy of this letter to the Secretary General, and I demand an immediate investigation. No wonder the United Nations hasn’t been able to do the job that they were put in existence to do. All security tapes at the escalator should be saved, especially the emergency stop button. The Secret Service is involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Pregnant Liberal Woman Suffers Fatal Tylenol Overdose After Trying to “Prove Trump Wrong” — Now Allegedly on Ventilator Fighting for Her Life: REPORT

Nicole Sirotek, founder of American Frontline Nurses, claimed that she received a frantic 4 a.m. call from a distraught husband whose pregnant wife is now on a ventilator after overdosing on Tylenol.

According to Sirotek, the woman, who was between 23 and 25 weeks pregnant, attempted to ingest massive amounts of Tylenol in an effort to “prove Donald Trump wrong” after his recent remarks linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump on Monday announced that the use of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, can increase the risk of autism when used by pregnant women.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tylenol is tied to autism, ADHD, and liver toxicity in children.

“Today, the FDA will issue a physician’s notice about the risk of acetaminophen during pregnancy and begin the process to initiate a safety label change,” Secretary Kennedy said. “There is a potential association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, including later diagnosis for ADHD and autism.”

Following the historic announcement, pregnant leftists took to TikTok to mock Trump and RFK Jr.’s warning about the drug. As one will see, X users collected several videos of these snarky libs popping Tylenol pills while acting like they’re performing some act of defiance.

Talk about the height of arrogance with little regard for the little human being inside of them.
