A.F. Branco Cartoon – Obama‚ Biden‚ and the Democrats could write the book on being a Fascist/Communist style dictator in America yet they‚ along with the corporate media‚ are trying to label Trump as a dictator? Delusional Cheney Claims Trump Will Be A Dictator‚ Warns Trump’s Comments Must Be Taken ‘Literally And Seriously’ By Alicia Powe As former Rep. Liz Cheney‚ R-Wyo. promotes her soon-to-be-flopped new book‚ she continues to wail over former President Donald Trump’s lingering control over the Republican Party. In an interview slated to air Sunday on ABC News‘ “This Week‚” Cheney echoed the Deep State’s attempt to silence Trump and institute speech crimes‚ warning Americans cannot brush off Trump’s comments‚ but must take his words “literally and seriously. “I think we have to take everything that Donald Trump says literally and seriously‚” the former lawmaker said. “And I think that we saw‚ frankly‚ what he was willing to do already after the 2020 election in the lead up to Jan. 6‚ after Jan 6‚” she continued. “People need to remember that when Donald Trump woke up on the morning of Jan. 6‚ he thought he was going to – READ MORE…  DONATE to A.F.

The case of Obama’s chef‚ Tafari Campbell‚ continues to be very curious. Judicial Watch received 31 pages of records in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from the Department of Homeland Security. It shows that the companion who witnessed Mr. Campbell’s drowning is a woman named Ms. Taylor. She reported: ”[Campbell] fell in the water […] The post Records Released on the Death of Obama’s Chef appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Republican Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has issued an executive order banning state funds‚ property‚ or resources from being used by state agencies and institutions to support “diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion positions‚ departments‚ activities‚ procedures‚ or programs.” That ban will be implemented “to the extent they grant preferential treatment based on one person’s particular race‚ color‚ sex‚ ethnicity‚ or national origin over another’s‚” the governor’s office stated. Stitt joins Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL)‚ who signed a bill last May that banned Florida’s public colleges and universities from using funds for DEI programs. “In Oklahoma‚ we’re going to encourage equal opportunity‚ rather than promising equal outcomes‚” Stitt said. “Encouraging our workforce‚ economy‚ and education systems to flourish means shifting focus away from exclusivity and discrimination‚ and toward opportunity and merit. We’re taking politics out of education and focusing on preparing students for the workforce.” The funds may also not be used to force someone to “participate in‚ listen to‚ or receive any education‚ training‚ activities‚ procedures‚ or programming‚” “swear‚ certify‚ or agree to any loyalty oath that favors or prefers one particular race‚ color‚ sex‚ ethnicity‚ or national origin over another‚” force someone to “certify or declare agreement with‚ recognition of‚ or adherence to‚ any particular political‚ philosophical‚ religious‚ or other ideological viewpoint‚” force someone applying for a job to “provide a diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion statement‚” or force any person to “disclose their pronouns.” “As a nation‚ we strive for equality of opportunity to give every young person a chance at achieving their American Dream‚” Patrice Onwuka‚ director of Independent Women’s Forum’s Center for Economic Opportunity explained‚ adding: Race‚ ethnicity‚ gender‚ and heritage should not be used to discriminate against any person. Yet‚ discriminatory DEI programming has done damage on college campuses—fomenting division between students‚ eroding free speech rights‚ threatening academic freedom‚ and bloating school bureaucracies‚ which in turn drives up tuition costs. Furthermore‚ these efforts do not prepare young women and men for the diverse workforce that values aptitude‚ grit‚ and skill‚ not a sense of entitlement driven by victimhood.  We applaud Governor Stitt and the state for taking leadership on removing discriminatory and divisive race-based programming and staffing from Oklahoma colleges and universities. Every student deserves a campus free from discrimination. Thankfully‚ legal protections already outlaw race-and sex-based discrimination‚ but this executive order guards against efforts to bypass those protections.

Especially with that in mind‚ CPAC applauds Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt for acting through executive order today to take down DEI in all of Oklahoma’s government.”

In an extraordinary display of dissent‚ several dozen White House staffers assembled on the public sidewalk in front of the White House to voice their opposition to President Joe Biden’s stance on the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The demonstration‚ which took place on a chilly Wednesday evening‚ saw government employees breaking ranks to publicly challenge the administration’s foreign policy decisions. The staffers‚ who were seen holding a banner that read‚ “President Biden‚ your staff demands a ceasefire‚” called for an immediate halt to the hostilities that had resumed following a temporary ceasefire. Their protest was a stark reminder of the deep divisions within the party over the United States’ approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. @WhiteHouse staffers sympathetic to #Hamas &; the #IranDeal‚ protest against President Biden @POTUS "for not imposing a ceasefire" in #Gaza‚ showing instantly the depth of #Iranregime influence inside the top building in the nation. To many Americans‚ this is troubling. pic.twitter.com/4SnsCkyai5 — Walid Phares (@WalidPhares) December 14‚ 2023 Participants at the vigil expressed horror at the renewed violence in Gaza‚ which included killings‚ displacement‚ and bombardment of Palestinian civilians. They emphasized the urgency of saving lives through an immediate and permanent ceasefire agreement‚ as well as the release of all hostages. The protest highlighted a growing rift within the Democratic Party‚ with pro-Hamas and pro-Israel factions vying for influence. While the Biden administration has provided Israel with arms and diplomatic backing‚ it has also faced internal pressure to restrain Israel’s military actions and to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza. Wow! Biden staffers hold a vigil outside of the White House to protest… Biden and his policy on Gaza!! https://t.co/iYcwK3PnBQ — Trita Parsi (@tparsi) December 14‚ 2023 Critics of the protest argue that the calls for a ceasefire without disarming Hamas would leave the terrorist organization in control of Gaza‚ armed and holding hostages – an outcome that Israel deems unacceptable. The Israeli government has maintained that it will not cease its operations until all hostages are freed and Hamas capitulates. The visual impact of the demonstration was striking‚ with many staffers dressed in black‚ some with keffiyehs wrapped around their heads. Candles were arranged on the sidewalk to spell out “Ceasefire‚” a poignant symbol of their plea for peace. The demonstration was carefully orchestrated‚ with a promo graphic circulated earlier in the day instructing participants on how to avoid identification. This precautionary measure echoed similar tactics employed by pro-Hamas Congressional staffers who staged a demonstration in front of the Capitol last month. This public act of defiance from within the ranks of the Biden administration underscores the contentious debate over U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern affairs. It raises questions about the coherence of the current administration’s foreign policy and its ability to navigate the complex geopolitical landscape of the region. As the night drew to a close‚ the candles flickered out‚ but the message from the White House staffers remained clear: there is a significant faction within the government that is deeply dissatisfied with the current direction of U.S. policy in the Middle East‚ and they are willing to take a stand‚ even if it means protesting against their own administration.
