Biden Orders Additional 3,000 Troops to Fight For Ukraine

Joe Biden Authorizes Activation of up to 3,000 Reserve Troops for Operation Atlantic Resolve, Including 450 Individual Ready Reserves

On Thursday, Joe Biden issued an Order to “augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve” to include up to 3,000 members of the Selected Reserve, with up to 450 members of the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR).  Meanwhile, our border remains open with over a hundred thousand arrests made last month alone by overworked US Border Patrol and other law enforcement officials.

The IRR is particularly interesting as it hasn’t been utilized in almost two decades.  This Order does not call them to service but only gives authority to do so if “they deem necessary”  The IRR consists of former active duty and reserve members who are no longer under obligation to drill, conduct annual training, or participate in any military activities until ordered by Presidential Authority.  Essentially, it is junior enlisted officers who have an obligation after leaving their service once their contract has expired.  Typically, a contract would be four years followed by four years of IRR service.

From the White House:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility.  In furtherance of this operation, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty.

This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Russia Warns: Deployment of F-16 Jets is Nuclear Threat

Russia warns U.S., NATO: We consider F-16 deal for Ukraine a nuclear threat

Any deployment of U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine will be seen as a direct nuclear threat to Moscow because of their ability to carry atomic weapons, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Thursday.

In an interview with the Russian online newspaper Lenta.ru, Mr. Lavrov said the U.S. and its NATO allies are risking a direct armed clash with the Kremlin over the decision to equip Ukraine with F-16s.

“We have informed the nuclear powers, the United States, Britain and France, that Russia cannot ignore the ability of these aircraft to carry nuclear weapons. No amount of assurances will help here,” Mr. Lavrov said.

Russian soldiers in Ukraine will not waste time sorting out whether any particular aircraft is equipped to deliver nuclear weapons, Mr. Lavrov said.

Los Angeles Business Owner Targeted for his American Flag While Officials Ignore Homeless Camps

Resident In Dem-Run City Fed Up As Officials Target His U.S. Flag Display While Ignoring Homeless Camps

A Los Angeles business owner is fed up with the Democrat supermajority for what they are prioritizing in terms of making the city a better place to live.

Arik Air, owner of Motostyles, a motorcycle accessory and remote control hobbies store in the Granada Hills area, says city code enforcement officials have consistently singled him out for placing a sidewalk sign in proximity to city property. Meanwhile, he added, the same officials have disregarded the increasing presence of homeless encampments in the area.

“I’m kind of pissed off because it’s an ongoing battle with them for kind of forever,” Air told Ainsley Earhardt on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday. “They keep changing the inspectors, and actually to justify their work, they come and give you a ticket for something.”

He also said that code enforcement officers have ticketed him in the past for flying an American flag outside his business.

“The guy called them ‘flag banners,’ and I said, ‘This is not a banner. This is the American flag.’ And, you know, we got a ticket for those in the past. And it was $461,” he said.

Last month, Air reported that agents from code enforcement reached out to him on five separate occasions regarding the foldable sign placed on the sidewalk outside his establishment. Initially, they visited him in person four times, and on the fifth occasion, they called to request he send a photo of the sign via text to ensure compliance with the regulations.

He added that code enforcers have asked him to move his sign one inch to remove it from city property but he says his business property actually extends further than the code enforcers acknowledge.

“Even if the sign goes in one inch out or even four feet out, it still belongs to the property owner, not to the city. They decided this is their land. I did a survey online, and it’s showing that the property line is much more outside,” he said.

Air pointed out that while officials are generating controversy over a sign that does not impede the sidewalk, they persistently disregard the escalating presence of homeless encampments appearing throughout the streets of Los Angeles.

“They never care. They can get to my shop the same day in a couple of minutes, but they cannot go and actually deal with something else down the street,” he said.

Homeless camps have dramatically increased in major California cities under the current governor, Gavin Newsom, who some claim will soon announce a bid for the 2024 Democratic nomination.

Maybelline is using ugly bearded men to promote their new product

“What the Hell Are You!” – Social Media Users Erupt After Major Cosmetics Company Uses Bearded Men to Promote New Product Lines

Americans now have a new company to break apart following the successful boycotts of Target and Bud Light.

The Daily Mail reported Thursday that cosmetics giant Maybelline is using ugly bearded men to promote their new product.

The company first had “makeup artist” Zak Taylor promote a summer product the brand had just recently launched. Then they had Ryan Vita, a so-called “Maybelline Partner”, promote a new lipstick on its Instagram page.

Vita in his video can be shown in bright pink lipstick, which the Daily Mail notes is part of an Amazon Prime Day advertisement. The company tagged Vita by using the hashtag #maybellinepartner.

 

In an another post, Taylor is seen applying make up to his face.

Courtesy of conservative activist Lauren Chen, below is the full ad featuring Vita.

Social media users predictably erupted in fury at Maybelline using these nasty looking men to promote beauty products. Here were some of the remarks directed at them on their Instagram account:

ericajeanette75 Wtf did I just watch? This really isn’t helping to promote your products!

hadeel.qasem7 What the hell are you!!! Differently not normal!! Shame on these makeup brands that support this nonsense!

toka.mohammed1 Shame on you .. stop posting this kind of people

qeen_sum I will never buy Maybelin products any more

Disney Goes FULL ON Satanic!

Disney Announces Show Featuring Ritualistic Killing and a Blood Drinking Cult

Disney has had its fair share of shows recently that demonstrate the company is expanding to reach a wide variety of audiences, but some of its shows have caused a certain amount of confusion among audiences, given their themes. Earlier this year, the company caused an uproar on social media when it released details about its new German show, Paulina, which will tell the story of a pregnant teen that falls in love with the devil.

A  new adult animated comedy, Praise Petey, comes from Freeform. It follows the story of a New York “It Girl” trying to reform and modernize her father’s cult. Protagonist Petra’s (AKA Petey) life is turned on its head when she has to move to New Utopia, a community her father founded. What makes the situation even more tense is that the community believes Petey’s their prophesized savior.

One shared, “It is so nice that Disney is making shows that look like the world they live in. I’m sure it reflects their values and community.”

Another opined, “Disney is showing everyone who they are and have always been…”

Some fans recalled Disney’s current trouble with its theme park attendance (Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort), sharing, “No wonder the Disney parks have fewer visitors. People are sick of garbage like this promoted on their network and it’s souring all of Disney’s products.”

Seriously? No Suspect in White House Cocaine Investigation

White House cocaine investigation concluded after just 11 days, no suspect ID’d: Secret Service

The Secret Service ended its investigation into cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House after just 11 days without identifying a suspect, enraging congressional Republicans who demanded answers about how an illegal drug got into one of the most secure buildings in the world.

In a statement Thursday, the protective agency said its probe was “closed due to a lack of physical evidence” after FBI forensic testing on the bag the cocaine was found in failed to turn up fingerprints or sufficient DNA.

“Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered,” the Service said.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) stormed out of a briefing offered to lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee moments after it began Thursday morning, calling the conclusion “bogus” and the investigation a “complete failure.”

“They know who goes in the White House. They have facial identification, they have — y’all know you can’t go in there without giving your Social Security number anyway, and to say that it’s just some weekend visitor, that’s bogus,” Burchett said. “Nobody’s buying that at all.”

Other GOP lawmakers who stayed for the briefing confirmed that roughly one gram of cocaine was found July 2 by a Secret Service agent in a storage locker inside the West Wing executive entrance, and that no cameras were in position to capture footage of the culprit. The cocaine was found in one of 182 lockers with the key missing, according to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).

Investigators also told lawmakers they were unable to determine exactly when the cocaine was left in the locker due to the lack of footage. The vestibule is located by the basement entrance to the West Wing, one floor below the Oval Office and steps from the Situation Room.

“They were able to narrow down a list of approximately 500 people that had left a small bag of cocaine,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told reporters. “My question to them was, have they drug-tested this list of 500 potential suspects that brought an illegal substance, or drug, cocaine, into the White House? Their answer was ‘no’ and that they’re unwilling to do so.”

“The real concern here is American citizens every single day go through drug tests as part of their employment for their jobs. This is a common practice,” she added.

President Biden’s staff is subject to routine drug tests, but White House visitors — including those given West Wing tours by invitation only — are not.

Boebert said it would have been “a very unusual thing to drug screen random citizens” and that she had constitutional concerns about taking that investigative step.

“Every time there’s something strange going on with President Biden or his family, or anything regarding his administration or the White House, no one can ever seem to find an answer,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) also told reporters. “This is one of the most secure locations in the world, some of the best law enforcement officers in the world — and they don’t have any answers.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed, telling Fox News the probe was a “farce.”

“You can’t tell me in the White House, with 24/7 surveillance in a cubby hole by a Situation Room that they don’t know who delivered it there,” he said. “We should get an answer to the question. It just seems to me that in America today anything involving Biden Inc. gets treated differently than anything else and that shouldn’t be the case.”

Boebert said she found the status of the investigation “disturbing” because she was one of several lawmakers “who were recently sent a white powdery substance in the mail.”

“There are no security measures in place at the White House to detect a substance, whether it be a Schedule II substance like cocaine that was recently found, marijuana, or even something more potentially dangerous like anthrax,” she said.

“In 2022, twice while going through screening, people were caught with marijuana in their possession,” Boebert added. “So for this being the third time that drugs were found on the White House property during the Biden administration certainly poses a question: What kind of people are we allowing to go onto that premise? And what is their actual purpose there?”

The briefing took place in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in the Capitol building because the Secret Service was sharing confidential White House security details with committee members

The executive mansion was briefly evacuated after the cocaine was found. An initial test came back positive for the drug, and further testing by the FBI confirmed it was cocaine.

President Biden was not at the White House at the time the substance was found. He had departed for Camp David two days earlier with members of his family, including son Hunter Biden — who has acknowledged a past crack cocaine addiction and is due to enter a guilty plea on tax and firearm charges later this month.

“Washington, DC, is a trash can,” Burchett said. “Everybody wants to pick and choose. They may need to turn it upside down, put the dadgum garden hose to it, and clean it out.”
