Parkinson’s doctor suggests Biden has ‘classic features of neurodegeneration’ after revelation specialist visited White House eight times

ANew York-based neurologist who specializes in treating Parkinson’s disease suggested Monday that President Biden is exhibiting “classic features of neurodegeneration” as speculation swirls about his political future.

Dr. Tom Pitts made his assessment based on Biden’s public appearances, while the White House faced questions about why another Parkinson’s expert visited the executive mansion eight times in an eight-month stretch last year and early this year.

“I could have diagnosed him from across the mall,” Pitts told NBC News Now’s “Top Story with Tom Llamas.”

“I’m a Democrat, it’s just like — this guy is not a hard case,” he added. “I see him 20 times a day in clinic.”

“He has the classic features of neurodegeneration, word-finding difficulties, and that’s not, ‘Oh, I couldn’t find the word,’ that’s from degeneration of the word retrieval area,” Pitts explained, referring to Biden.

The doctor also noted the president’s “shuffling gait … so little steps. Loss of arm swing from the rigidity…and end-block turning, meaning he kind of pivots around his foot.”…


‘Scary Experiment’: Denmark to Tax Livestock Emissions, Critics Say Small Farmers Are Real Target

Denmark is set to become the first country in the world to tax farmers for the greenhouse gasses emitted by their livestock, in a deal reached June 24 between the Danish government and representatives of the farming industry and unions.

The tax, which specifically targets methane emissions by cows, pigs and sheep, will take effect in 2030, pending final approval by the Danish Parliament, The Associated Press (AP) reported.

Beginning in 2030, farmers will be required to pay a tax of 300 kroner (approximately $43) per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent. This will increase to 750 kroner ($108) by 2035. After a 60% tax deduction, the respective amounts will be 120 kroner ($17.30) and 300 kroner.

According to CNN, the proceeds from the tax will be used to support the agricultural industry’s green transition in the first two years, including the investment of 40 billion kroner ($3.7 billion) for measures including reforestation and establishing wetlands.

After two years, the tax will be “reassessed.”

Denmark is a significant exporter of pork and dairy products, CNN reported. Agriculture is the country’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. The AP reported that, as of June 2022, there were nearly 1.5 million cows in Denmark….


Packs of “Fighting Age Males” in Military Uniforms Entering U.S. through Remote Arizona Town

As the nation’s largest southern border crossings finally receive mainstream media coverage years into an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis, untold numbers of “fighting age males” dressed in military uniforms are entering the United States through remote areas with no Border Patrol presence.

It is a palpable security lapse unlikely to be reported by most news outlets and local, federal, and state law enforcement sources have provided Judicial Watch with detailed accounts, reports, diagrams, and photos of the situation which is terrorizing residents in a once harmonious Arizona town just a few miles from Mexico.

They blame the Biden administration’s catastrophic open border policies for the serious problems that have gripped the area in the last few years.

The Santa Cruz and Pima County regions in southwestern Arizona has been slammed with extraordinary violence and crime fueled by Mexican cartels—smuggling drugs and humans—that are victimizing fourth and fifth-generation cattle farmers who have captured thousands of illegal immigrants on security cameras passing through their property since Joe Biden became president.

Sometimes they find dead bodies and drug paraphernalia.

“Violent activity has drastically increased over the past three years since the border is now perceived to be wide open,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch this week, adding that in the communities of Amado and Arivaca American citizens feel much less safe than they did when Donald Trump was president.

Both are cattle ranching towns with small populations that are diminishing because of the increased violence. Amado is nestled in the Santa Cruz River Valley about 29 miles from the Mexican border. Arivaca is situated southwest of Amado about 11 miles from Nogales, Mexico…

Senator Bob Menendez ‘showered’ in bribery payments, feds say in corruption trial closings

Senator Bob Menendez repeatedly engaged in “a clear pattern of corruption” by accepting bribes of cash, gold bars and lavish gifts in exchange for his promises of official acts, federal prosecutors told jurors Monday afternoon during their closing summation of the New Jersey politician’s criminal conspiracy trial.

Echoing the same wording from the trial’s opening arguments, federal prosecutors said Menendez “put his power up for sale,” by accepting bribe payments from trio of New Jersey businessmen with ties to Egypt and Qatar who wanted the senator to exert his political power and influence, with his wife acting as a “go-between” for receiving the payments and gifts.

Menendez, the highest-ranking Latino member of Congress, faces 16 felony counts accusing him and his wife, Nadine Menendez of bribery, conspiracy, wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and acting as a foreign agent, among other charges.

Prosecutors told jurors that Menendez knowingly engaged in “corrupt quid pro quo” deals with those wealthy benefactors in exchange for official acts while he held the powerful post of chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and took efforts to conceal those illegal transactions.

“The timeline tells you what happened,” Assistant United States Attorney Paul Monteleoni said. “When Menendez hears that Nadine can get paid, Menendez springs into action again and again.”…

At the time of his arrest, Irish was out on parole for a robbery he committed in the Bronx. The Post reported that he had been arrested 21 times leading up to his latest arrest.

CBS News previously reported that Williams’ family and friends decided to speak out after the woman’s body was discovered on Friday on 27th Street between Second and Third Avenues.

Oakland residents move to oust progressive leaders over rampant crime, homelessness: ‘Chaos’

Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao (D), currently battling a recall effort, is entangled in an FBI investigation. Several city staffers were recently forced to turn over records to the bureau in response to a federal grand jury subpoena.

Thao will face a recall election in November after Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao secured over 25,000 verified signatures ahead of the July 22 deadline. Those behind the recall effort have slammed Thao for firing former Oakland Police Department Chief LeRonne Armstrong and allowing a “surge of serious and violent crimes” that prompted a number of businesses to close.

After Thao’s home was raided, her attorney and chief spokesperson abruptly resigned. She has not been charged with any crime.

Loren Taylor, a Democratic mayoral candidate running to replace Thao, told the San Francisco Chronicle, “To say that this is the worst compilation of troubling, challenging situations that I’ve seen is an understatement.”…


San Diego hotel clerk stabs guest before driving off pier

The suspect, 23-year-old Aaron Tran, was found dead in San Diego Bay with self-inflicted wounds after police recovered his body.

Tran had checked two guests into their room at The Shoal La Jolla Beach hotel and later called them, claiming he needed to enter their room due to a water leak next door, police said in a news release. Once inside, Tran handed his phone to one of the women, displaying a threatening message on the screen. When she looked up, he was holding a knife.

Tran stabbed her in the upper chest before the woman managed to escape with the other woman, who was unharmed. The injured woman was treated at the hospital and released…


PragerU Slams NewsGuard’s ‘Insidious’ Practices Aimed at Driving Conservative Media ‘Out of Business’

PragerU CEO Marissa Streit pointed out in a new video that NewsGuard’s co-founder and CEO “is a Democrat Party loyalist,” who is “on record dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop,” adding that NewsGuard staff “is mostly comprised of left-leaning activists and ex-journalists.” Both its leaders and staff claim to target “misinformation,” but in practice, are attempting to shut down any conservative media outlet that dares to stand up to its leftist agenda. Along with launching a campaign on X, PragerU has also launched a petition to “expose NewsGuard and its cronies for suppressing free speech.”

Streit noted that NewsGuard actively works against organizations like PragerU, Breitbart News, the Daily Caller, the Federalist, “and news and opinion sources that are not on the left.”

The PragerU CEO explained how NewsGuard rolls out the same plan of attack against every media outlet it targets. First, it sends a list of “accusatory questions” on a hot button issue.

If their target plays along and answers its questions in good faith, NewsGuard will quickly shift to other questions. If an outlet chooses not to respond, NewsGuard takes it as an admission that the outlet is not reliable.

“If you fail their test, and you will, NewsGuard informs their clients — PR firms, ad agencies, major corporations — that you’re toxic and that they should run in the opposite direction,” Streit said, noting that this “can get very expensive, very fast” for many companies living largely on advertising.

“It might drive you out of business if you don’t comply, but of course, that’s the plan,” Streit added, pointing out that the Federalist editor Mark Hemingway, who has gone through this type of lose-lose questioning, has referred to NewsGuard as “an extortion racket.”

“Having also lived through this experience, I can confirm that assessment,” Streit said…..


NewsGuard: Fact Checkers with Too Much Power | 5 Minute Videos

Controlling the Media Children Can Read: Mike Benz Exposes NewsGuard’s Agenda in PragerU Interview

During a recent episode of Real Talk, Streit noted that parents are hearing about something known as “media literacy education.”

“It’s become something that’s a part of our schools, it’s in our curriculum,” Streit said, pointing out that NewsGuard is behind media literacy education.

Benz told Streit that “media literacy” refers to the left obtaining the ability “to control what news media your children can read or what’s successful on social media.”

“When you hear the phrase ‘media literacy,’ you attach to the word ‘literacy,’ and think, ‘Well, we have a literacy problem in this country,’” Benz said, noting that people can easily make the mistake in thinking that media literacy refers to teaching students how to read and be more literate.

“No, it’s the opposite of that,” Benz asserted. “The focus on the word ‘literacy’ is the idea that if you read the wrong media sources, you are media illiterate, and need to get your mind right by reading state-approved, government-approved media sources, and only then will you be deemed media literate.”…

Two Infants Died Within Hours of Receiving RSV Shots, CDC Internal Emails Show

At least two infant deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) as occurring after the babies mistakenly received Pfizer’s adult respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine were likely caused instead by nirsevimab, the monoclonal antibody shot approved for infants and meant to prevent RSV.

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents obtained by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that both babies died on the day they received the shots.

According to the reports in VAERS, a 27-day-old boy died immediately upon receiving the shot in the doctor’s office and an infant girl was found not breathing by her father seven hours after receiving the shot. The infant was pronounced dead soon after.

The deaths were reported in VAERS as resulting from mistaken administration of Pfizer’s adult RSV vaccine, but the CDC internal emails obtained by CHD indicate the babies had been administered Beyfortus, the brand name for nirsevimab, manufactured by AstraZeneca and Sanofi.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug in July 2023 and the CDC recommended it in August 2023 for infants under 8 months or high-risk infants up to 24 months of age….


‘Behind the curtain’: Jill Biden facing a ‘great deal of scrutiny’

Former White House chief of staff says First Lady Jill Biden is coming under a “great deal of scrutiny” in regard to her husband, US President Joe Biden.

“A great many questions as to whether or not she’s now the sort of man behind the curtain in the Oval Office,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia.

“She’s coming under more and more scrutiny every single day as to whether or not she is the one refusing to tell Joe Biden how poorly he did in that debate.”
