Wednesday Executive News Summary
Tuesday election results, Trump wants Syria to address Hezbollah, Hillary slams Biden’s “terrible mistake,” DOJ charges Antifa with obstruction, and more.
Tuesday election results
Georgia and Alabama held primary runoff elections on Tuesday, with mixed outcomes for Trump-endorsed candidates. Rep. Mike Collins secured the Republican Senate nomination, riding President Donald Trump’s endorsement to a 10-point win over Derek Dooley. Collins will look to unseat Democrat John Ossoff in November. In the governor’s race, Trump-endorsed Burt Jones couldn’t overcome billionaire Rick Jackson’s spending and lost by five points. The lieutenant governor’s race had a runoff for both parties, with Republican Greg Dolezal and Democrat Josh McLaurin advancing. In Alabama, Trump-endorsed Senate candidate Barry Moore managed a solid 10-point win over Jared Hudson. Moore will face Democrat Everett Weiss, who won his runoff by about nine points. Moore and Weiss are running to fill the Senate seat Tommy Tuberville will be vacating as he runs for Alabama governor.
Trump wants Syria to address Hezbollah
In pursuit of a peace deal with Iran, President Trump has criticized Israel for fighting in Lebanon against the Iranian terrorist proxy Hezbollah. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon,” Trump said. “[I] didn’t like where, two hours before we’re signing the agreement, that there was an attack in Lebanon, in Beirut.” The Iranian regime has repeatedly threatened to reject any deal if Israel continues its campaign against Hezbollah. The problem is that Hezbollah exists for the sole purpose of terrorizing Israel. In calling for Israel to stop fighting Hezbollah, Trump posited a solution: “Let Syria take care of Hezbollah because, to be honest with you, I think they’d do a better job of doing it.” Israeli officials noted, “Trump’s agreement does not bind us.”
Trump delays DNI nomination over SAVE Act
In his latest effort to pressure Republicans into tying the SAVE America Act to the foreign surveillance FISA renewal, President Trump hit pause on the confirmation hearing for his pick to replace outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Trump named William Pulte as acting DNI and, in response to objections from both Republicans and Democrats over Pulte’s lack of intelligence experience, nominated U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton. “I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it. Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap,” Trump explained. “Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are canceling the Senate Hearing.”
Hillary Clinton slams Joe Biden’s “terrible mistake”
Passing the buck is the Democrat brand, especially regarding the 2024 presidential race. Failed candidate Kamala Harris blames the “107 days” she had to campaign. Dementia-riddled Joe Biden blames the party for forcing him to step down. And now, Hillary Clinton is blaming Biden. Running for reelection, she said, was “a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.” Had he kept to his “promise” not to run again, she continued, “Very sadly, I believe whoever emerged from that contest, whether it was the vice president or a governor or a senator or anybody else, would have beaten Donald Trump.” Of course, had the Democrat machine not forced primary opponents like RFK Jr. out of the race for Biden, they could have had a real contest. The Democrat machine over which Hillary has great influence does not trust the voters.
DOJ charges Antifa with obstruction
Democrat talkingheads can keep suggesting that Antifa is not a real organization, but it’s organized enough for the Department of Justice to indict 15 members for conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers. The charge centers around but is not exclusive to actions the conspirators took outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building from January 23 to March 1, during which they used flipped trailers, “Czech hedgehogs,” and debris to halt ICE operations. They also formed human walls to block and break through groups of officers on foot. Natasha Rakotz faces up to 20 years in prison for assault with a dangerous weapon after she intentionally sideswiped an officer’s vehicle on May 18. Kyle Wagner is charged with soliciting violence for a video on Instagram in which he encouraged others to “get your f***ing guns and stop these f***ing people.”
Asian socialist burns cross in Windy City
When a racist incident arises in Chicago, it’s almost guaranteed that it’s not what it seems. The latest example comes via a cross-burning incident in a Chicago park, which occurred on the heels of the Karmelo Anthony verdict. It was quickly assumed this was the work of some hate-filled MAGA white supremacist. Indeed, a MAGA hat was placed atop the cross. But it turns out that the perpetrator is Merlin Lu, an Asian student at the University of Illinois Chicago. Lu, who is a leftist, intended the act as a protest against Trump and his administration’s policies, which is why he used a MAGA hat. “I don’t want to wait till his term ends,” Lu explained. “I don’t wanna wait until he may or may not get impeached. I want him gone right now.”
Rob Schneider footing bill for potential MLB fines
Three Giants pitchers who wrote Genesis 9:12-16/Genesis 9:13-15 on their baseball caps next to the pride flag emblazoned on the Giants logo were issued warnings by MLB. Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, said, “The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations.” The players haven’t been fined yet, but comedian Rob Schneider has preemptively promised to “pay the fines for any @MLB Christian player who wears a Bible verse on their uniform.” Of course, the Giants apologized to the LGBTQ community for the offense caused by the individual players and said that everyone should feel welcome and respected. Everyone, that is, except Christians.
UK releases the full Rape Gang Inquiry Report
“At the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma,” begins the report on the Islamic rape gangs that have ravaged the United Kingdom in recent decades. Islam justifies these actions when conquering a new country with “al-walā’ wa-l-barā’,” which demands the subjugation of the infidel. The earliest crimes date back to the 1950s, when the UK first began importing Muslims, but the scale increased dramatically since mass immigration began in the late ‘90s. Unfortunately for the victims, authorities didn’t just turn a blind eye for fear of being called racist; in many cases, they aided and abetted the rapes. Police, social care services, and taxi services were all complicit. The full report can be read here for all the horrifying details.
Russian artist critical of Putin murdered in Poland
If we needed a reminder, Russian President Vladimir Putin is a bad guy. The latest example is the murder of a 44-year-old Russian artist who criticized the Russian strongman. Robert Kuzovkov was shot to death outside of his house in Poland by two Belarusian citizens. Kuzovkov had “expressed criticism of the current policies of the Russian authorities,” which included a number of unflattering portraits of Putin. One in particular depicts Putin being cradled by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. Kuzovkov is the latest victim in a growing list of suspicious deaths and murders of individuals who have dared to criticize Putin.
