How could the son of Deion Sanders possibly hurt his draft status after a breakout game? By raising character concerns, of course. One week after University of Colorado Buffaloes quarterback (and, if you believe his detractors, overrated nepo baby) Shedeur Sanders had a lackluster performance in a 28-10 loss against...

You want to live in a country where you may speak freely without having your words distorted by dishonest actors. And you want the same for people with whom you disagree. Hate-filled leftists, on the other hand, would extend you no such grace, for they regard themselves as your moral...

Real estate developer Steve Witkoff said he felt "blessed" to have been with his friend former President Donald Trump on Sunday golfing when a second attempt was made on the Republican presidential candidate's life.

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has demanded the FBI turn over all “information, documents, and communications” in its possession “related to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) connected entities and officials Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has engaged and partnered with.” “To date, the FBI has failed to provide the Oversight Committee with information regarding Governor Walz’s documented relations with CCP-affiliated entities and officials, as well as any warnings or information the FBI has potentially provided to Governor Walz or his office,” the Committee stated in a press release. “On August 16, 2024, the Committee requested information about the CCP-affiliated entities and officials with which Mr. Timothy Walz has engaged, as well as any warnings or information the Federal Bureau of Investigation has provided to Mr. Walz or his office about CCP influence operations. The deadline to produce such documents and information has passed, and the Bureau has failed to provide any response to the Committee. The FBI’s silence regarding Mr. Walz’s documented relations with CCP affiliates is inexcusable. The Committee must understand the full extent of Mr. Walz’s ties to the CCP. In 1993, Mr. Walz organized a trip to the PRC for his Alliance High School students; the costs for the trip were paid in part by the Chinese government. In 2007, Mr. Walz served not only as a member of Congress but also as a fellow at Macau Polytechnic University. According to the university’s website, Macau Polytechnic University exists ‘in alignment with China’s Belt and Road Initiative,’ a political warfare program developed by President Xi Jinping to exert China’s influence worldwide,” Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) wrote. Comer penned a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, requesting information regarding any ties between Gov. Walz and CCP-affiliated entities.

Below is the letter that was sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray, requesting information relating to Governor Tim Walz ties to the CCP. pic.twitter.com/aNNoijykIq — Leading Report (@LeadingReport) September 15, 2024 * Images from Leading Report X Post * From the Washington Examiner: In a letter Thursday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Comer raised concerns over Walz’s promotion, as Minnesota’s governor, of a group called the Hormel Institute, which the Washington Examiner reported in September partners with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The top Republican is re-upping his request from August for the agency to turn over any documents on Chinese entities Walz has reportedly been linked to over the years. “Recent reports indicate Mr. Walz, while in Congress, ‘helped secure over $2 million’ and ‘pushed for a $5 million federal earmark’ for the Hormel Institute, which is a ‘Minnesota-based medical research center with a history of working with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China,’” Comer wrote in the letter to Wray. “The Wuhan Institute of Virology is closely connected to the CCP and has been implicated in the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Comer’s letter also cited a report from Fox News detailing the Hormel Institute’s track record of collaborating with the Beijing Genomics Institute, which the Pentagon labeled a “Chinese military company” earlier this year. The Hormel Institute’s parent, the University of Minnesota, denied in a recent statement to the Washington Examiner that the institute has a “formal affiliation” with the WIV or the Beijing Genomics Institute. However, journal records show that researchers from the Hormel Institute work on projects with personnel from the WIV and the Beijing Genomics Institute. “By denying Congress and the American people information on Tim Walz’s ties to the CCP, the FBI further proves it’s corrupt and weaponized to the highest degree. Beijing is no friend of ours and it will use whatever and whoever it can to ensure our demise,” Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) said.

Walz first taught a year abroad in China after the June 3-4, 1989, Tiananmen Massacre. While estimates vary, “hundreds to thousands of protesters were killed … and as many as 10,000 were arrested” after the Chinese government enacted martial law to squash pro-democracy protests. Walz told VOA News, “I felt it was more important than ever to go, to make sure that story was told, and to let Chinese people know we were standing there, we were with them.” Upon his return, he told Nebraska’s Chadron Record, “the Chinese have been mistreated and cheated by their government for years.” If they had different leaders, “there are no limits on what they could do. … [They] are such kind, generous, capable people. They just gave and gave and gave to me.” The experience had such an impact Walz’s wife, Gwen, that she said they got married on the fifth anniversary of the massacre. “He wanted to have a date he’ll always remember,” she told the Scottsbluff Star-Herald. They also “established a summer trip to China for their students and traveled there nearly every summer through 2003,” according to her first lady bio. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who has also raised concerns about Walz’s China connection, told The Center Square, “If you look at Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz and Colin Allred,” his Democratic challenger in the U.S. Senate race, “they have all been systematically, far too cozy with communist China.” Cruz has long warned about CCP threats, including infiltrating American universities, espionage, intellectual property theft, Chinese companies buying land near U.S. military installations, perpetrating extensive human rights abuses, murder, and torture, among other examples.

Former UN Ambassador and GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley will host a new weekly show on SiriusXM. Called “Nikki Haley Live,” the show will start airing on SiriusXM Triumph channel 111 on September 25 and will run at least through the presidential inauguration in January 2025. “Each week Haley will analyze and simplify the week’s most significant headlines – including the upcoming election, hotspots around the world, U.S. policy, and even some music and entertainment – offering her insights and engaging in conversations with key figures,” SiriusXM stated. “The American people are smart,” Haley declared. “They’re sick of distractions in DC and noise from the mainstream media. They want to know what the issues are and how the solutions will impact them. I’m excited to partner with SiriusXM on a show that breaks down the policies and empowers them with the facts.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! After challenging former President Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, Haley endorsed him at the Republican National Convention in July. She made an attempt to bring Americans who had disagreements with Trump to vote for him, stating: For the sake of our nation, we have to go with Donald Trump. … We should acknowledge that there are some Americans who don’t agree with Donald Trump 100% of the time. I happen to know some of them, and I want to speak to them tonight. My message to them is simple. You don’t have to agree with Trump 100% of the time to vote for him. Take it from me. I haven’t always agreed with President Trump, but we agree more often than we disagree. We agree on keeping America strong. We agree on keeping America safe. And we agree that Democrats have moved so far to the left that they’re putting our freedoms in danger. I’m here tonight because we have a country to save, and a unified Republican Party is essential for saving her. Then she segued to Trump’s record: For those who have some doubts about President Trump, I want to tell you a few things about the commander in chief I know and worked with. As ambassador to the United Nations, I had a front row seat to his national security policies. We sure could use those again. Think about it. When Barack Obama was president, Vladimir Putin invaded Crimea. With Joe Biden as president, Putin invaded all of Ukraine. But when Donald Trump was President, Putin did nothing. No invasions, no invasions, no wars. That was no accident. Putin didn’t attack Ukraine because he knew Donald Trump was tough. A strong president doesn’t start wars. A strong president prevents wars. Then look at the Middle East. Every problem in that part of the world can be laid at the feet of Iran. The dictator to chant death to America are the bankrollers and weapons suppliers for Hamas and Hezbollah. They’re behind the barbaric massacres and the hostage taking. Once again, compare Trump and Biden. Trump got us out of the insane Iran nuclear deal. He imposed the toughest sanctions ever on Iran, and he eliminated the arch terrorist Qasem Soleimani. Iran was too weak to start any wars. They knew Trump met business and they were afraid. And then there’s Joe Biden. He lifted the sanctions. He begged them to get back into the nuclear deal. He surrendered in Afghanistan. He sent every possible sign of weakness. Even now, while Hamas is still holding Americans hostage, Biden is pressuring Israel instead of the terrorists. Between Israel and Hamas, Donald Trump is clear about who is our friend and who is our enemy. Then look at the border. It’s the single biggest face… It’s the single biggest threat Americans face. Under Joe Biden, migrants are coming into our country by the thousands every day. We have no idea who they are, where they end up, or what they plan to do. And let me remind you, Kamala had one job, one job, and that was to fix the border. Now, imagine her in charge of the entire country. Under Donald Trump, we didn’t have the border disaster we have today, and we won’t when he is president again.

A Pakistani national with ties to Iran pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges related to an Iranian plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump. A federal judge in Brooklyn ordered Asif Merchant detained pending trial at the Monday hearing in which Merchant pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to commit an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries and taking part in a murder-for-hire plot, according to ABC News. Merchant pleaded not guilty the same day that another man suspected of targeting Trump for assassination appeared in a federal court in West Palm Beach, Florida. That man, who was arrested shortly after allegedly fleeing from a sniper spot at Trump International Golf Course, was arraigned on charges of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. The Iranian-backed assassination plot allegedly involving Merchant is unrelated to the Florida assassination attempt. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “This dangerous murder-for-hire plot was allegedly orchestrated by a Pakistani national with close ties to Iran and is straight out of the Iranian regime’s playbook,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement last week. “A foreign-directed plot to kill a public official, or any U.S. citizen, is a serious threat to our national security and will be met with the full might and resources of the FBI. Protecting Americans from terrorists remains our highest priority.” Merchant arrived in the U.S. in April planning to orchestrate a plot to kill Trump, according to prosecutors. Merchant allegedly outlined the plan with someone soon after believing that the person could help him carry it out. That person later reported Merchant’s behavior to the FBI and became a confidential source. In June, Merchant allegedly met with men he believed to be hitmen but who were actually U.S. law enforcement officers in New York. The Pakistani paid the men $5,000 in advance for them to kill Trump before making arrangements to leave the United States, according to prosecutors. Law enforcement arrested Merchant on July 12.  

Thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon exploded simultaneously in their hands and pockets on Tuesday without warning. Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad said more than 2,700 people were injured — 200+ of whom are in critical condition — and at least eight people were killed. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Iranian-backed terrorist group received the pagers in a new shipment in recent days. While it was not immediately clear what caused them to explode, it is believed that they were infected with malware that intentionally caused them to overheat and detonate, according to The Wall Street Journal. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Numerous videos posted online showed the moment that the pagers exploded in the terrorists’ hands and in their pockets.

(@yashar) September 17, 2024 The New York Times reported that pagers also exploded in Syria, where Hezbollah has a presence, according to a news agency affiliated with Iran’s IRGC, a designated terrorist group. The report claimed that seven people were killed in the blasts. The incident comes as the terrorist group has fired thousands of rockets, missiles, and suicide drones at Israel over the last year following Hamas’ unprecedented terrorist attack, where they killed 1,200 people inside Israel on October 7. Israel’s intelligence services announced on Tuesday that they had foiled a plan by Hezbollah to assassinate a former senior Israeli security official using a remotely detonated explosive device that was supposed to occur in the next few days.
