RFK Jr.'s Billionaire Ex-Running Mate Threatens Senators Who Vote Against His Confirmation

 

Nicole Shanahan calls out several senators by name in a video shared to X, saying she'll make it her "personal mission" to oust them from Congress if they ignore her advice

Billionaire Nicole Shanahan is sending a stunning message to senators who feel skeptical about Robert F. Kennedy's nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

On Tuesday, Jan. 28, Kennedy's 2024 running mate posted a video message in which she promised that she will use her wealth to unseat lawmakers who vote against confirming him as the HHS secretary.

In the video, Shanahan, 39, calls Kennedy, 71, "proven, principled and prepared to lead," before sharing that he needs every vote he can get as his Senate confirmation looks uncertain.

"This hasn’t been widely reported, but in 2020 I cut large checks to [Democratic Senate Leader] Chuck Schumer to help Democrats flip two senate seats in Georgia from red to blue," she says in the video.

The Silicon Valley attorney continues: "The two candidates I helped elect, Sen. Raphael Warnock and Sen. Jon Ossoff, please know I will be watching your votes very closely. I will make it my personal mission that you lose your seats in the Senate if you vote against the future health of America’s children."

After suggesting that there were strings attached with her support of the Georgia Democrats, Shanahan begins listing additional senators on both sides of the aisle who have not revealed how they plan to vote, including Republicans Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Thom Tillis and James Lankford; Democrats Cory Booker, John Fetterman and Catherine Cortez Masto; and independent Bernie Sanders.

"This is a bipartisan message and it comes directly from me," she adds in the video. "While Bobby may be willing to play nice, I won’t. If you vote against him, I will personally fund challengers to primary you in your next election. And I will enlist hundreds of thousands to join me."

The message concludes: "You’re either on the side of transparency and accountability or you are standing in the way. The choice is yours. Please choose wisely."

Dear U.S. Senators,

Bobby may play nice; I won’t. pic.twitter.com/G9SZjZhFYR

Trump Moves to Deport Pro-Hamas Students with New Executive Order

 

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order Wednesday instructing all federal agencies to identify civil and criminal authorities available to combat antisemitism — including finding ways to deport anti-Jewish activists who violated laws, The Post has learned.

The order requires agency and department leaders to provide the White House with recommendations within 60 days and outlines plans for the Justice Department to investigate pro-Hamas graffiti and intimidation, including on college campuses, according to a document describing the order.

The executive order calls for the deportation of resident aliens — including students with visas — who broke laws as part of anti-Israel protests following the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks that sparked the invasion of Gaza, the document reviewed by The Post says.

Six Republican-led House committees issued a report last month calling for the federal government to do more to address antisemitism, including by conditioning federal aid to colleges to force stricter policies against anti-Jewish bias.

That report focused heavily on Columbia University, the site of a large encampment that featured many documented instances of anti-Jewish remarks against both pro-Israel activists and Jewish students, and noted that allegedly permissive colleges took in $2.7 billion in federal funds in fiscal year 2023.

The State Department and Department of Homeland Security under President Joe Biden stonewalled records requests about the number of visa holders among those protesters, the House GOP report said.

Trump, as a candidate, called for deporting pro-Hamas students who are in the US on visas and last week signed a different executive order that seemed to hint at steps toward that goal.

That order contained a passage that called for the US to “ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States” do not “support designated foreign terrorists,” though the intended effect of the wording was not immediately clear.

College presidents summoned to Congress in December 2023 infamously refused to say if calling for the genocide of Jews constituted punishable conduct under grilling by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Trump’s nominee to serve as UN ambassador. They argued that free-speech protections were at play.

Hate speech generally is legal in the US, but the House GOP report released last month argues that federal law bars recipients of taxpayer funds from tolerating discrimination — allowing a way to force recipients to stiffen policies.

Federal courts also have found that non-citizens have fewer free speech rights.

The Supreme Court ruled in the landmark 1972 case Kleindienst v. Mandel that the government could refuse a visa to a Belgian Marxist — after prior court cases affirmed the deportation of anarchist and Communist non-citizens.

Some of the best-known instances of activism in support of Hamas, which massacred about 1,200 Jewish residents of southern Israel, occurred in Washington, DC, when multiple protesters carried banners supporting the group as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress in July.

Zaid Mohammed Mahdawi, the 26-year-old president of the Richmond, Va., chapter of American Muslims for Palestine, was arrested for allegedly climbing atop a monument near the Capitol and spray-painting “HAMAS IS COMIN.” 

Trump’s attempt to crack down on antisemitism — including likely by withholding federal funds — comes on the heels of his orders to temporarily freeze federal aid and the distribution of pending federal grants, the latter of which was paused Tuesday by a federal judge.

In his first term, Trump also used the threat of yanking federal funds in response to nationwide anti-police rioting following the May 2020 murder of George Floyd.

Trump ordered steps to defund New York City, Portland and Seattle for allegedly doing too little to quell the unrest. He left office before that threat was fulfilled, though the Justice Department certified the cities for the chopping block.

The Gaza casualty numbers are unraveling entirely.

by Joshua Hoffman

For months, the headlines have been saturated with harrowing casualty figures from Gaza.

A chorus of media outlets near and far have decried the “genocide” unfolding before their eyes, relying on casualty reports issued almost exclusively by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry.

The numbers are shocking, the language incendiary, and the implications clear: Israel is the worst of all villains, and any context or nuance was irrelevant.

But now, as the fog of war begins to clear, the purported casualty statistics are unraveling entirely, exposing a web of deception that is as insidious as it is effective. Consider the brazen falsehoods embedded in these statistics:

• Adult men falsely counted as women

• “Dead women” named Mohammed

• Natural deaths misreported as war casualties

Trump Releases Bulldozers that Biden Blocked!!

 

The bulldozers Israel purchased from the US blocked under Biden but released by Trump have already arrived in Israel.

And it’s only been a week!

Bald Faced Liars "New York" magazine cropped out black people from Trump party cover photo — claiming ‘almost everyone is white’

Critics slammed New York Magazine for cropping black people out of a photo of a pro-Trump party it ran on its cover this week — with the story inside claiming that the crowd was almost entirely white.

The magazine’s cover story this week, titled “The Cruel Kids’ Table” and penned by Brock Colyar, claims that “almost everyone” at the Trump inauguration party was “white” and failed to mention that the party’s host was black.

The cover image shows a room full of white revelers at a TikTok-sponsored party called the “Power 30 Awards” on the eve of the inauguration, but conservative commentator Christopher Barnard on X posted the full photo which accompanied the story inside the magazine and revealed a number of black attendees.

“Almost everyone is white,” Colyar wrote, followed by a descriptive flourish about the shindig. “The men look like Pete Hegseth, in bow ties and black suits, with clean-shaven faces. The women are almost all out of their league.”

“This is insane,” GOP Youth Advisory Council co-chair CJ Pearson shot back on X Monday. “I hosted this event and @NYMag intentionally left me out of their story because it would have undermined their narrative that MAGA is some racist cult.”

Pearson, who hosted the event and is black, pointed out that other black Republicans were also there, and posted a photo of him with another black attendee.

He added: “.@NYMag accused me of hosting a white-only inauguration rager. I guess none of these black people got the memo?”

Other black attendees included former Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, rapper Waka Flocka Flame and PragerU’s Xaviaer DuRousseau, among others.

Rob Smith, a black political commentator and consultant at Right Turn Strategies, chimed in: “I was at this party as were MANY other Conservative media influencers who are Black, Latino, Asian, etc.”

Smith continued: “@NYMag used a whites only photo to push the media narrative that diverse Republicans don’t exist and weren’t welcome. You don’t hate the media enough.”

Although the New York Magazine piece did quote DuRousseau, it didn’t declare his race, and only described him as a “28-year-old conservative influencer.”

Later in the story, Colyar goes to the All American Inaugural Ball, and describes it as a “more familiar scene of MAGA commoners.”

Colyar interviews an “older woman in an updo and a silver sequined gown,” who asks the journalist: “Have you noticed the entire room is white?”'”

A New York Magazine spokesperson told The Post: “The magazine’s most recent cover story explores the new class of conservatives taking Washington by storm, through the lens of inauguration weekend. The cover was cropped to the center of a picture that was published in full online, and we believe both the cover and story provide an accurate impression of the weekend.”

 

Fat rapper who calls herself a ‘BBW’ sues Lyft after driver said she couldn’t fit in his car

A plus-sized rapper who describes herself as a BBW — aka “big beautiful woman” — is suing Lyft after one of the company’s drivers allegedly told her she was too large to ride in his car.

Dank Demoss, who has previously disclosed that she weighs nearly 489 lbs., claims the rejection unfolded earlier this month in Detroit when the Lyft driver rolled up in his Mercedes-Benz sedan and immediately locked his doors.

“I can fit in this car,” the rapper, who also goes by Dajua Blanding, could be heard saying in a video she posted on social media on Jan. 19.

“Believe me, you can’t,” the driver shot back — adding later there was no room in the back and that his tires wouldn’t be able to handle the weight.

The driver, who identified himself as Ibrahim in the now-viral clip, was filmed apologizing to Demoss, but maintaining that he was canceling the ride and telling her she should order an XL vehicle.

“I’ve been in this situation before,” the driver said, before Demoss responded, “So every big person, you turn down because they can’t fit in your car?”

Demoss, who describes herself on Instagram as a “PAID PHAT QUEEN” and declared in one post last year that she weighed 554 pounds, slapped Lyft with the lawsuit this week. She later updated fans that she weighs 489 lbs.

“I’ve been in cars smaller than that,” she told FOX2 after the suit was filed. “I just want them to know that it hurt my feelings.”

Meanwhile, her video of the exchange had racked up more than 340,000 views on TikTok as of Tuesday.

A Lyft spokesperson told The Post that the company couldn’t comment on specific incidents caught up in litigation but they condemned discrimination.

“Lyft unequivocally condemns all forms of discrimination — we believe in a community where everyone is treated with equal respect and mutual kindness,” the spokesperson said.

“Our community guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination.”

 

Insanity!! Biden's State Dept Had millions in funding allocated for ‘condoms in Gaza,’

 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s decision to freeze foreign aid over the weekend included pulling millions of dollars-worth of US funding for “condoms in Gaza,” a White House official told Fox News Digital. 

The revelation came as the official explained that a separate memo from the Office of Management and Budget will temporarily pause grants, loans and federal assistance programs pending a review into whether the funding coincides with President Donald Trump’s executive orders, such as those related to ending diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), the Green New Deal, and funding nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) “that undermine the national interest.” 

“If the activity is not in conflict with the President’s priorities, it will continue with no issues,” the White House official told Fox News Digital. “This is similar to how HHS [Department of Health and Human Services] stopped the flow of grant money to the WHO [World Health Organization] after President Trump announced the US withdrawal from the organization. Or how the State Department halted several million dollars going to condoms in Gaza this past weekend.” 

Fox News Digital reached out to the State Department on Tuesday seeking additional information. 

Demented pols like Brad Lander and Tish James scream in fury as ICE raids make New York City safer

ICE’s initial Trump-era deportation raids are targeting only the worst of the worst — gang kingpins, accused double-murderers and so on — yet locals pols are still erupting in panic and fury after the feds moved in to protect New Yorkers.

City Comptroller Brad Lander called the arrests “heartbreaking,” slamming City Hall for “not standing up for our people” by . . . what, trying to stop completely lawful federal action?

“This mass deportation agenda is targeting our loved ones,” gaslighted Rep. Nydia Velazquez.

It’s not “mass deportation”; ICE only went after about 30 perps.

And they’re not “our people,” let alone “our loved ones.”

The throngs of officers are rounding up violent illegal immigrants, including murderers, extortioners, kidnappers, burglars.
