Six Nevada Republicans were indicted by a grand jury in the state on Wednesday for their alleged roles in an “alternate elector” scheme that declared that former President Donald Trump won the state in 2020. The grand jury in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County indicted Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald‚ national committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid‚ Clark County Republican Party chair Jesse Law‚ state party vice chair Jim Hindle III‚ Shawn Meehan and Eileen Rice. Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford‚ a Democrat‚ said that all six individuals were indicted on two felony counts of offering a false instrument for filing and uttering a forged instrument by submitting fraudulent documents to state and federal officials. The Nevada Independent reported that the two felony charges were category C and D felonies‚ respectively‚ and carried a maximum of four years and five years in prison.

Today’s indictments are the product of a long and thorough investigation‚ and as we pursue this prosecution‚ I am confident that our judicial system will see justice done.” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is currently investigating similar efforts in her state following the 2020 presidential election. Individuals accused of participating in alternate elector schemes that declared that Trump won in 2020 have also been charged in Georgia and Michigan. Ten Republicans in Wisconsin who posed as electors in 2020 settled a civil lawsuit on Wednesday and admitted that President Joe Biden won the election and agreed to not serve as electors in 2024 or in any election if Trump is on the ballot.

Employees of Pornhub’s parent company were caught on camera touting the benefits of underage kids watching pornography‚ and even suggesting that making videos of transgender-identifying people engaging in sex could help young people figure out their sexuality‚ according to a new video released exclusively on The Michael Knowles Show on Wednesday. Arden Young‚ the undercover journalist behind the newly released video from Sound Investigations‚ told Daily Wire host Michael Knowles that the videos indicate that “protecting children is not a concern‚ maximizing profits is their concern‚ and they don’t seem to care who they hurt in the process.” The new video documents employees of Aylo‚ formerly named Mindgeek‚ the parent company of Pornhub‚ admitting to attempting to steer viewers’ sexual proclivities. EXCLUSIVE: Top PornHub staff admits to inserting “gay” and “trans” themes into mainstream porn to “convert” straight men pic.twitter.com/w8otDNm4Du — Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) December 6‚ 2023 Employee Dillon Rice‚ a senior script writer at the company‚ is seen arguing that pornography usage could be beneficial for preteens. “Let’s say you’re 12 years old‚ you’re still figuring out your sexuality‚ maybe even your gender‚ wouldn’t it be helpful to see not a celebration but maybe just a … normalization of something that you think is what you want?” Rice is seen saying. Rice went on to specifically reference a pornography site centered around transgender individuals‚ remarking‚ “Let’s say I was 12 and I saw TransAngels … it would help me figure out what I do like and what I don’t like.” Knowles said the attempt to steer viewers’ sexual tastes flies in the face of one of the core arguments that emerged from the sexual revolution. “The thing that is so shocking to me is that we’ve been told for my entire life by the left‚ by the pro-pornography people‚ by the sexual revolutionaries‚ that sexual desire is innate and immutable‚” Knowles says. “Nobody becomes gay or bisexual.” In addition to Rice‚ the video shows conversations with Aylo Production Coordinator Sylvain Fernandez‚ and Technical Product Manager Mike Farley. Fernandez appeared unbothered by Young’s point that the average age at which most view porn is only 11 years old‚ with Fernandez replying‚ “I mean‚ sounds like my age‚” before adding “I mean it makes sense you know. Definitely associated with puberty.” The Aylo employees said the company looks for opportunities to put bisexual‚ gay‚ or trans scenes in videos that are typically marketed to straight men. Rice remarked that while some platforms are “primarily for straight men‚” the company tries to “push the envelope as much as you can and be like‚ can I hint at bi content here … what if we brought a trans talent onto the site … you kinda take those risks to broaden it a little more.” Rice added “you’re always trying to push a little further.” “They need to try to push stuff that is … less accepted‚ like putting a trans male or trans female in a scene‚” Rice said. “See if you can convert somebody.” NEW UNDERCOVER VID P*rnhub Parent Aylo Employee: Kids “Will Find Their Kink” on Aylo Site Aylo Writer: 12-Year-Olds Watching Trans P*rn “Probably Helps a Lot” “Push Stuff That’s Less Accepted… Get More Men‚ Straight Men‚ in on [Gay &; Trans P*rn]‚ Too”pic.twitter.com/YzwsmDNIfx — Sound Investigations (@SoundInvestig) December 6‚ 2023 Rice took it even farther‚ referencing a transgender pornography site when he remarked “it’s female presenting trans women and they sell that to straight men‚ so I think the next big step is doing something that’s counter culture‚ maybe doing like a trans man in a scene‚ like having a guy f*** a male-presenting trans man with a vagina and see how that does.” Young‚ the Sound Investigations journalist‚ told Knowles she was “inspired to investigate Pornhub in the first place because of a 2020 New York Times article  that really detailed the struggles of often underage people to get their abuse videos taken off of Pornhub.” The undercover video is the latest in a longer series of videos on the pornography company‚ which attempt to prove that there is no serious effort to keep underage users off the platform and that it attempts to appeal to pedophiles and young teems‚ Young said. She referenced “We have multiple previous undercover videos we’ve published that detail just the lack of age of consent verification for pornographic uploads and pornographic ads … advertising porn to appeal to pedophiles and young teens‚ we have a plethora of undercover footage‚” Young added. Knowles said the latest video should make the issue a “clear cut” case for anyone on the fence about regulating the porn industry. “The takeaways here for me‚” Knowles concluded‚ is that “this is as clear cut a case for proper political action as I have ever seen. If you are in elected office‚ destroy this company‚ wield the power of the state‚ destroy this company‚ what they are doing is illegal in so many ways.” “Stop looking at porn‚ if for no other reason than the senior writers here are saying they want to make you gay and trans‚” Knowles said.

The Biden administration has decided against striking back at Houthi targets for now‚ despite recent incidents in which U.S. warships in the region shot down Houthi attack drones flying toward the vessels‚ Politico reported. Some military officers believe the U.S. should mount a more forceful response to the Iran-backed Houthi rebels‚ but high-level politicians in the administration believe those options do not make sense in the current circumstances‚ Politico reported‚ citing three U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The administration has not determined that the Houthis intentionally targeted U.S. warships‚ one of which was involved in an hourslong firefight on Sunday while responding to distress calls from commercial vessels under attack. Separately‚ the U.S.S. Mason guided-missile destroyer shot down another drone in the Red Sea on Wednesday with no injury to troops or damage to the vessel‚ a U.S. military official told Politico. Military officers in charge of Middle East operations have created options to strike back at Houthi targets where the drones were launched‚ but are not actively trying to carry them out‚ one official and another military official told Politico. President Joe Biden has not been briefed on the options or received a recommendation to counterattack despite holding several high-level meetings in recent days‚ two officials told the outlet. “I’m not going to telegraph or speculate on potential strikes in the future. As you’ve heard us say‚ we’re going to do what’s necessary to protect our forces‚” Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said Tuesday‚ adding that the National Security Council is involved in discussions with international partners over a combined maritime task force. On Nov. 26‚ the Carrier Strike Group Eisenhower (IKECSG) completed a transit of the Strait of Hormuz to enter the waters of the Arabian Gulf as the Strike Group continues to support USCENTCOM missions.While in the Arabian Gulf‚ the IKECSG are patrolling to ensure freedom of… pic.twitter.com/0GzRZQ7awM— U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) November 26‚ 2023 Some current and former officials argue the Houthis’ increasingly aggressive behavior is endangering American troops‚ according to Politico. High-level Biden administration officials believe the Houthis do pose a threat to U.S. military personnel in the region‚ but that they are intending to target Israel-linked vessels‚ not the U.S. warships‚ Politico reported. The administration still harbors concern that Iran‚ which finances and arms the Houthis in Yemen as well as Hezbollah in Lebanon‚ could escalate and cause conflict between Israel and Hamas to spill into the region. White House decision-makers are weighing whether striking back at the Houthis would derail U.S. and United Nations efforts to broker a cessation of hostilities between Saudi Arabia and Yemen‚ a fifth official told Politico. Saudi Arabia has also urged the U.S. to curtail responses‚ Reuters reported. “What we don’t want to see is the conflict in Israel widen to a regional war. As of today‚ it has not‚” Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said on Monday. The Pentagon and the National Security Council did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
