Major Dem Donors Freeze $90 Million Until Biden Drops Out: REPORT

Major Democratic donors have paused contributions totaling roughly $90 million to the largest pro-Biden super PAC, opting to hold their money unless the president drops out of the race, the New York Times reported on Friday.

Donors have frozen multiple eight-figure donations they had promised to Future Forward PAC — the committee designated by the Biden campaign as its leading super PAC — amid worries that the president is in a uniquely weak position ahead of November’s election, two individuals familiar with the situation told the NYT.

Democratic donors are also planning on diverting money away from the presidential election and toward down-ballot elections to hedge against what they view as increasingly likely defeat in the race for the White House.

“I think that the dam has broken and that more and more people will come out publicly,” long-time Democratic donor Whitney Tilson said in early July. “There is basically no — almost no support remaining for him as a candidate.”

In the weeks following the June 27 presidential debate where President Joe Biden appeared disoriented and struggled to articulate, 19 Democratic members of Congress and numerous liberal pundits have called on the president to drop out of the race, according to the NYT. Even Biden’s reelection operation seems to be testing the waters, with the president’s campaign reportedly testing Vice President Kamala Harris’ viability against Trump, according to the New York Post.

“He needs to drop out,” one Biden campaign official told NBC News. “He will never recover from this.”

The blow to Biden’s campaign finance operation follows former President Donald Trump’s campaign erasing the president’s fundraising lead in May. Trump and the Republican National Committee had $171 million in cash on hand as of the most recent campaign finance reports, compared to the just $157 million held by the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Convention, The Hill reported.

The primary super PAC supporting Trump, MAGA Inc., had $93.7 million in cash reserves as of May while Future Forward PAC had a slightly smaller war chest of $92.3 million, according to Federal Election Commission records. Much of the funds taken in by MAGA Inc., however, are being diverted to cover Trump’s legal expenses, according to CNN.

One Future Forward advisor told the NYT they believe the donations will return once the current uncertainty regarding the Democratic presidential ticket is resolved. The PAC has announced $250 million in advertisement reservations following the Democratic National Convention in August.

Despite mounting pressure, the president has repeatedly asserted that he will not drop out.

“I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” Biden wrote in a letter to congressional Democrats on Monday.

Future Forward PAC could not be reached for comment.

Hamas, Palestinians paraded dead babies coffins through streets before handover to Israel

Published on

Quick Hit:

Hamas paraded the caskets of Israeli hostages, including what they claimed were the bodies of a mother and two young children, through the streets of Gaza before handing them over to the Red Cross. Videos show crowds cheering as armed terrorists carried the coffins as part of a prisoner exchange with Israel.

Key Details:

  • Videos from Khan Younis, Gaza, show Hamas and other terrorists parading four caskets, including those of two young children, before handing them to the Red Cross.
  • Crowds cheered as the terrorists, armed and unmasked, carried the coffins, with celebratory music playing in the background.
  • The deceased were identified as members of the Bibas family, including the youngest hostages from the October 7 attack.

 

Diving Deeper:

During a ceremony in Khan Younis, Gaza, Hamas paraded the caskets of Israeli hostages through the streets, including what they claimed were the bodies of a mother and her two small children. The display occurred before the remains were handed over to the Red Cross as part of a prisoner exchange agreement with Israel. Crowds of Gazans were seen cheering and celebrating as the coffins were carried by armed terrorists.

Videos from the event show masked militants loading a casket into a Red Cross aid truck, while another militant, adorned with symbols of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, filmed the procession. Another video shows adults and children waving and celebrating as Hamas fighters, armed and in trucks, paraded through the streets. Reuters footage also captured members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP) helping carry a casket, highlighting the involvement of multiple terrorist factions in the display.

Hamas presented the bodies as those of the Bibas family, who were captured during the October 7 attack. The children, aged four years and less than one year, were among the youngest hostages taken during the brutal assault that triggered the ongoing 15-month conflict. The fourth body was identified as 83-year-old Oded Lifshitz, according to Jewish News Syndicate. Hamas has repeatedly blamed the deaths on Israeli airstrikes, though no evidence was provided to support the claim.

Israel and Hamas are currently observing a temporary ceasefire agreement, facilitating the exchange of civilian hostages for Palestinian prisoners. Despite the ceasefire, Hamas has continued to celebrate the October 7 attacks, which resulted in the largest mass killing of Jewish people since the Holocaust. During the ceremony, a stage displayed a poster depicting Israel as a “Nazi Army,” underscoring Hamas’s longstanding agenda of hostility towards the Jewish state.

The shocking parade of caskets, accompanied by celebratory music and cheering crowds, has drawn international condemnation and further underscored the brutal nature of Hamas’s actions. As the exchange process continues, the emotional toll on the families of the victims remains immeasurable.

RFK Jr: There’s no medical justification for vaccinating one-day-old babies for Hepatitis B

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Doug Mainwaring

‘Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted from having sex with multiple partners in gay sex, or from sex workers, or intravenous drug use,’ explained the new HHS head. ‘Why would you give that to a baby?’

In a widely-viewed video shared on social media, the new U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., asserted that the majority of vaccines — including those he sees as unjustifiably being mandated for infants — have been developed primarily to create profits for Big Pharma.    

“Most of the vaccines after 1989 were added not for public health reasons but for pharmaceutical profit reasons,” said Kennedy.    

“Why are we vaccinating one-day-old babies for Hepatitis B?” he asked. 

“Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted from having sex with multiple partners in gay sex, or from sex workers, or intravenous drug use,” he said, reemphasizing, “Why would you give that to a baby?” 

According to Kennedy, Pharmaceutical giant Merck was directed by both the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) to develop the Hepatitis B vaccine for “those vulnerable populations.”    

He explained that when those populations showed little interest in the vaccine, “Merck went back to the agencies and said ‘You told us to develop this vaccine, but nobody’s buying it.”  

“The CDC said, ‘Don’t worry’” recounted Kennedy, “we’ll just recommend it for children and we’ll force everybody to buy it.”     

“So, that’s how it got on the [childhood vaccine] schedule,” he said, declaring, “There’s no medical justification.”   

There’s no downstream liability, there’s no front-end safety testing – that saves them a quarter billion dollars – and there’s no marketing and advertising costs, because the federal government is ordering 78 million school kids to take that vaccine every year.  

What better product could you have? And so there was a gold rush to add all these new vaccines to the schedule that we don’t need. Most of these vaccines are unnecessary. Many of them are for diseases that are not even casually contagious.  

It was a gold rush, because if you get onto that schedule, it’s a billion dollars a year for your company.  

And in many cases, NIH is earning the royalties. 

According to Kennedy, more obscene than the huge profits being horded by Big Pharma are the vast number of negative side-effects from all those untested vaccines. 

“Neurological diseases” have “exploded,” he said. 

“ADHD, sleep disorders, language delays, ASD, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, ticks, narcolepsy. These are all things that I never heard of,” said Kennedy. “Autism went from one in 10,000 in my generation according to CDC data to one in every 34 kids today.” 

Kennedy is known for vehemently opposing vaccines without proper knowledge for those taking them, a stance he adopted after the mothers of vaccine-injured children implored him to look into the research linking thimerosal to neurological injuries, including autism. He went on to found Children’s Health Defense, an organization with the stated mission of “ending childhood health epidemics by eliminating toxic exposure,” largely through vaccines.
