FBI Raided Wrong Home Looking for Pelosi’s Stolen Laptop, Couple Says

FBI agents raided a home in Alaska trying to find the laptop stolen from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) office but misidentified the home’s owner, she and her husband allege.

Paul and Marilyn Hueper own the Homer Inn & Spa. They were shocked to find agents barge into their home on the morning of April 28 with guns drawn.

The agents separated the couple and began looking through the house.

They disclosed that they thought Marilyn Hueper was inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, when Pelosi’s laptop was stolen.

“I think almost right off the bat, they said, ‘Well, you probably know why we’re here,’ or something like that. It’s like, yeah, no, not really. And they said, ‘Well, we’re here for Nancy Pelosi’s laptop.’ And I said, ‘Oh,’” Marilyn Hueper told KSRM radio.

Dollar Dumps In April As S&P Does Something It’s Never Done Before

April saw gold, bonds, and stocks (The Dow) all rise around 2% while the dollar fell around 2% against its fiat peers

All major US equity indices ended April higher with Nasdaq 100 leading the way and Small Caps lagging…

And while the 5%-ish gain for the month in S&P is notable, during 18 sessions this month through trading on Thursday, 95% or more of the index’s members traded above their 200-day moving average.

That’s the most days ever observed in a single calendar month and double the previous high of nine days in September 2009.

Democrats’ Court-Packing Schemes All About Power

The Democrats’ plans to pack the Supreme Court appear to be getting serious.

Left-wing proposals to put more justices on the Supreme Court have been floated for years. Now that Democrats have taken power, they’re putting those plans in motion.

A group of powerful congressional Democrats recently unveiled legislation that would expand the Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices.

“The Democratic bill is led by Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee,” reported NBC News. “It is co-sponsored by Reps. Hank Johnson of Georgia and Mondaire Jones of New York.”

If the bill became law, it would be the first time the Supreme Court increased in size since the Civil War era.

In a press conference announcing the bill, Nadler laughingly described the court-packing scheme in distinctly Orwellian terms.

Cops Arrest Christian Pastor For Reading From The Bible, Citing ‘Homophobic Comments’ (Video)

A 71-year-old Christian pastor and grandfather was arrested in London on the charge of making “homophobic comments” for preaching on what the Bible says about marriage.

John Sherwood, pastor of 35 years at an independent evangelical church in north London, was arrested after police officers were told he was “making homophobic comments outside Uxbridge Station in west London.”

He was preaching outside the Uxbridge Tube station.  Sherwood said he was bruised by officers who pulled him down from the “mini-stepladder” he was standing on and “cuffed his hands behind his back.”



Russian Security Council Chief Links Soros to Efforts to Destabilise Nations Worldwide, Including US

Billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros has committed hundreds of millions of dollars to “civil society initiatives” aimed at shaping political discourse and processes in many countries. Moscow banned the activities of his Open Society Foundations (OSF) in 2015, deeming they pose a threat to national security and Russia’s constitutional order.

George Soros and his Open Society Foundations undoubtedly played a role in the widespread unrest which rocked the United States last year following the police killing of George Floyd at the hands of police, Nikolai Patrushev, chief of the Russian Security Council, believes.

“As you know, he who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind. The same Soros Foundation [involved in colour revolutions abroad and the protests in the US] has no plans to scale down its projects. Moreover, it is working to give them a systematic character,” Patrushev said, speaking to Russian media in an interview published on Friday.

Shares of Twitter have risen 20% year to date

Twitter Inc. on Thursday reported increased quarterly revenue on the strength of ad sales, but its user numbers fell short of expectations.

Twitter shares fell as much as 8.5% after hours, after a 0.9% drop in the regular session to close at $65.09. 

Unscripted Biden Makes Such a Bad Blunder, CNN Reporter Has to Fact-Check Him in Middle of Speech

During the presidential address to Congress on Wednesday, Joe Biden claimed he has “traveled over 17,000 miles” with President Xi Jinping of the Chinese Communist Party.

According to multiple left-wing fact-checks, this claim is unverified and misleading.

Biden had made the very same claim on multiple previous occasions, according to The Washington Post.

Once was at a Feb. 16, 2021, town hall. Another, during an interview with Norah O’Donnell of CBS News on Feb. 7. Going even further back, Biden made the claim during a Jan. 10 campaign rally at Sparks High School in Nevada.

Florida Gov. DeSantis says he will sign ‘Fairness in Women’s Sports’ bill banning trans athletes from competing against females

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday pledged to sign his state’s version of a bill to protect fairness in women’s sports by prohibiting transgender athletes who were born males from competing against females.

In a surprise move this week, Florida Republicans in the state House revived the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act after it died in Senate committee by attaching it as an amendment to SB 1028, a charter school bill. The legislation would ban males from competing on women’s sports teams at the public secondary and collegiate level.

The House passed the bill Wednesday in a vote of 79-37, mostly along party lines. The state Senate passed the bill 23-16 later that evening. If DeSantis signs the bill into law, Florida would be the seventh state to adopt a form of the Fairness in Women’s Sports bill though 30 states are considering similar legislation.

At a Fox News town hall Thursday evening with other Republican governors, Gov. DeSantis said he was eager to sign the bill.
