GOP Senator’s Son Hits Slammer with 28-Year Sentence – Here’s Why!

GOP Senator’s Son Hits Slammer with 28-Year Sentence – Here’s Why!

The son of a Republican senator received a nearly 30-year prison sentence on Monday for his involvement in the tragic death of a sheriff’s deputy during a high-speed chase last December. Ian Cramer, aged 43 and the son of North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer, was driving his parents’ SUV when he collided with the deputy’s patrol vehicle on December 6, 2023. The incident occurred as Mercer County Deputy Paul Martin, who was 53 years old, attempted to deploy stop sticks to halt Cramer’s flight. Unfortunately, Martin was struck by the patrol vehicle and succumbed to his injuries.

Ian Cramer had initially fled from an ambulance bay at a hospital after his mother brought him there due to hallucinations. As reported by the New York Post, he took control of his parents’ vehicle after his mother exited it and reversed through the closed garage door of the hospital’s ambulance bay. This reckless escape led to a high-speed pursuit where speeds exceeded 100 mph. Despite law enforcement efforts that flattened two tires with devices designed to stop him, Cramer continued his dangerous drive until crashing into Deputy Martin’s vehicle.

Senator Kevin Cramer and his wife have spoken about their son’s mental health struggles, which were worsened by substance abuse. On the day of this fatal incident, Ian admitted to using methamphetamines and bath salts. In September, he pleaded guilty to nine charges including homicide while fleeing a peace officer, reckless endangerment, and drug possession.

During Monday’s sentencing hearing reported by NBC News, Ian expressed remorse towards Deputy Martin’s family saying he never intended for any harm and hoped they might forgive him one day. He also mentioned needing further help from medical professionals.

Judge Bobbi Weiler handed down a 28-year prison sentence but noted that Ian might not serve all those years behind bars due to policies within the state Department of Corrections. These policies suggest he could potentially be released on parole after serving only part of his sentence—a chance for redemption that Deputy Martin’s family will never have.

Afterward, Senator Kevin Cramer shared with reporters his disappointment over how mental health aspects seemed overlooked during court proceedings but acknowledged that ultimately it was Ian’s decisions leading up to this tragedy—choices made long before under various conditions—that were responsible for what happened.

Kevin Cramer first entered politics in 2018 when he defeated Democrat Heidi Heitkamp and has since been re-elected. Known as a strong supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, he’s been vocal against liberal initiatives such as taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR). However, earlier this year in February he diverged from fellow Senate Republicans regarding support for controversial foreign aid packages aimed at Ukraine.

WATCH: WaPo’s Rubin Insults Trump Supporters’ Intelligence in Shocking Chat with George Conway!

In a recent conversation with George Conway from the Lincoln Project, Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post made some bold claims about Trump supporters. She suggested that they “don’t know how to read,” which stirred quite the reaction.

Of course laughter commences immediately after her comment. WATCH:

This statement came shortly after another Lincoln Project member, Rick Wilson, described Trump voters as “just white guys driving around in their trucks with Oakleys and goatees.” These remarks have sparked discussions about stereotypes and perceptions surrounding political affiliations.

Rubin’s comments highlight a broader debate on how different groups are portrayed in the media. While some might see her words as a critique of literacy or engagement among certain voter bases, others argue it reflects a deeper misunderstanding of what motivates these individuals. It’s essential to consider whether such statements help bridge divides or simply deepen them. The portrayal of Trump supporters as lacking understanding or sophistication is not new, but it raises questions about how effective such rhetoric is in fostering dialogue.

The conversation between Rubin and Conway underscores an ongoing challenge in political discourse: finding ways to discuss differences without resorting to caricatures or insults. As these debates continue, it’s crucial for all sides to engage thoughtfully and respectfully.

Missouri Postal Supervisor Caught Red-Handed: Nearly 100 Checks Stolen from Innocent Americans!

Missouri Postal Supervisor Caught Red-Handed: Nearly 100 Checks Stolen from Innocent Americans!

A former supervisor at the U.S. Postal Service in Missouri has been accused of stealing nearly 100 checks from the mail, a development that further shakes public confidence in an institution often criticized for its inefficiency and corruption. Federal authorities unveiled these serious allegations on December 26 in a news release, revealing that Benita D. Randle, aged 42, was charged with theft while working at a St. Louis processing and distribution center.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri, Randle was indicted earlier this month and has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Prosecutors claim that on October 31, 2023, Randle, then serving as a postal supervisor, took approximately 90 checks meant for delivery by the Postal Service. While details about the value and specific nature of these stolen checks are still unknown, this case highlights growing distrust in an agency riddled with systemic problems.

This incident is not unique; it adds to a list of challenges facing the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), which has been grappling with inefficiency and financial losses for years. The USPS has also faced scrutiny over its role during the 2020 elections. President-elect Donald Trump has indicated plans to privatize the USPS—a move many conservatives see as essential for ensuring accountability and financial stability.

Since 2007, staggering losses exceeding $100 billion have been reported by USPS. Just last fiscal year alone, the agency suffered a $9.5 billion deficit—an increase from $6.5 billion lost in 2023 as reported by Reuters. These financial woes reflect a bloated bureaucracy struggling to manage taxpayer money effectively while providing subpar service to Americans.

No wonder Trump wants to take the sector private. I’m with him!

Adios Time Change? Trump Moves to Eliminate ‘Very Costly’ Daylight Savings

Adios Time Change? Trump Moves to Eliminate ‘Very Costly’ Daylight Savings

Donald Trump, known for his bold opinions, has entered the daylight saving time (DST) debate. Recently, he announced on Truth Social that he supports eliminating DST, describing it as “inconvenient” and “very costly.” He declared with his characteristic enthusiasm, “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency but shouldn’t!”

This issue is one that Americans might rally behind. The twice-yearly ritual of changing clocks and losing sleep has been a source of frustration for decades. Trump’s stance could potentially unite people across party lines over this timekeeping matter.

In support of this change, Senator Marco Rubio, who Trump considered for Secretary of State and a long-time critic of DST, has been advocating for the Sunshine Protection Act. This bill aims to make DST permanent. Rubio hasn’t held back in his criticism, calling the practice “stupid.” A 2021 AP-NORC survey supports his view, showing that 75% of Americans are tired of adjusting their clocks. The Senate passed Rubio’s bill unanimously in 2022—a rare moment of agreement in modern politics—but progress stalled in the House.

DST was introduced over a century ago during World War I to save energy when electricity usage was closely linked to daylight hours. However, critics argue that any benefits have long since faded away. They point out that disruptions to sleep patterns and productivity outweigh any remaining advantages. States like Arizona and Hawaii have opted out of DST and seem to manage just fine without it.

Trump isn’t alone in this endeavor; notable figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are also vocal opponents of DST. Musk labeled it as “annoying,” while Ramaswamy called it “inefficient & easy to change.” Their involvement could bring more attention to the issue—after all, having some Silicon Valley influence might help move Congress towards updating outdated practices.

While debates continue over taxes and healthcare among other contentious issues, reforming DST stands out as something many can agree on. With Trump’s endorsement giving new momentum and Rubio leading the charge, there’s hope this effort might finally succeed in ending the clock-changing tradition.

If nothing else comes from this debate, it’s a welcome break from typical political noise. Whether you’re conservative or liberal—or somewhere in between—most can agree: fiddling with clocks is pointless. Let’s hope this push doesn’t stall like others before it; maybe it’s finally time for daylight saving time to become history.

BUSTED! Damning Photos Surface of Joe Biden with Hunter’s Chinese Associates!

BUSTED! Damning Photos Surface of Joe Biden with Hunter’s Chinese Associates!

For years, President Joe Biden has firmly stated that he never discussed business with his son Hunter or met with his foreign business partners. “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden declared during his campaign for the presidency. However, this denial now faces significant scrutiny.

Recently released photographs obtained by America First Legal (AFL) through litigation against the National Archives suggest otherwise. These images appear to show then-Vice President Biden meeting with Hunter’s Chinese business associates and even introducing him to Chinese President Xi Jinping during an official visit to Beijing in 2013. This revelation challenges Biden’s previous statements and raises questions about the extent of his involvement in these matters.

“These photos shed light on the connections between then-Vice President Biden, Hunter and his Chinese business associates, and Chinese government officials, including President Xi Jinping,” AFL stated. Notably, these images were initially set for release by the National Archives on October 23, 2024—just days before a presidential election—but their release was delayed due to interventions by lawyers representing both Biden and former President Barack Obama.

The timing of these photos’ emergence is particularly significant as it coincides with President Biden’s unprecedented pardon of his son Hunter for any federal crimes committed between 2014 and 2024. The convenience of this timing cannot be overlooked.

These photographs reveal several concerning interactions: one shows Biden introducing Hunter to Chinese President Xi Jinping; another captures him meeting Jonathan Li, who later became CEO of BHR Partners—a private equity firm backed by the Chinese state. Interestingly enough, BHR Partners was officially registered only 12 days after Air Force Two landed in Beijing with the Bidens onboard.

According to findings from the House Oversight Committee, Mr. Li sought—and received—access to Vice President Biden’s political influence as part of conditions for Hunter and his associates’ participation in the BHR deal. This access included preferential treatment from then-U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus.

BHR Partners went on to play a vital role in strategic acquisitions like purchasing a Congolese cobalt mine from U.S. and Canadian companies—an essential resource for electric car batteries critical to America’s green energy goals.

Adding further context is testimony from Devon Archer—a former associate of the Bidens—to Congress. Archer described how Joe Biden was regularly put on speakerphone during meetings as part of selling “the brand,” contradicting repeated denials by the president regarding involvement in family businesses.

“These images are incredibly damning and speak volumes,” noted Peter Schweizer, an investigative journalist well-versed in documenting foreign connections involving the Bidens. If such revelations don’t raise red flags about potential conflicts at high levels within our government structure today—what will?

The White House along with legal representatives for both parties involved (Hunter & China) did not immediately respond when asked about recent events unfolding around them…go figure!

May the Force be With You: Beloved ‘Star Wars’ Actor Passes at 77

Angus MacInnes, a cherished actor known for his role in the original “Star Wars” movie, has sadly passed away at the age of 77. According to the New York Post, his family shared this heartfelt news on his Facebook page, expressing that he left them peacefully while surrounded by love. Although he died on December 23rd, no cause of death was provided. His family emphasized how much Angus treasured the Star Wars fans, saying they held a special place in his heart. He enjoyed meeting them at conventions and listening to their stories about the saga. The admiration from fans always humbled and delighted him.

MacInnes wasn’t just an actor; he was remembered as a kind and generous soul who brought warmth and humor to everyone around him. His absence will be deeply felt not only by his family and friends but also by fans worldwide who admired him greatly.

Known for playing Gold Leader Jon “Dutch” Vander in “Star Wars: A New Hope,” MacInnes’s character led Luke Skywalker and other X-wing pilots in their daring attack on the Death Star. Despite being shot down by Darth Vader during this climactic battle, Vander’s bravery remains iconic among fans.

WATCH:

Besides Star Wars, MacInnes had notable roles in films like “Witness,” “Judge Dredd,” “Hellboy,” and “Captain Phillips.” His work touched countless lives, bringing pride as part of stories that continue to resonate with audiences globally.

Fans have been sharing their condolences online, recalling fond memories of meeting Angus at conventions or interacting with him on social media. One fan expressed gratitude for knowing Angus personally and another shared how kind he was during their encounter back in 2002. Many promised to raise a glass in tribute to Gold Leader.

Born on October 27th, 1947, MacInnes once recounted his experience working with George Lucas during filming for Star Wars. In an interview with The Telegraph back in 2014, he described how challenging it was when asked to deliver lines out of sequence without cues from fellow actors—a situation that turned into quite a humorous ordeal for him.

Despite these challenges behind-the-scenes though—MacInnes managed through sheer determination—and even laughter—to contribute significantly toward making cinematic history alongside beloved cast members such as Mark Hamill himself!

Liberals Lash Out as JK Rowling Declares: ‘No Such Thing as Trans Kids!’

Liberals Lash Out as JK Rowling Declares: ‘No Such Thing as Trans Kids!’

Cultural debates over gender ideology have become more intense in recent years, as institutions increasingly endorse radical ideas about children and identity. From classrooms to social media platforms, young people are facing unprecedented pressure to question basic biological truths. This ideological push hasn’t gone unchallenged. Parents, medical professionals, and public figures are speaking out against what many view as a risky experiment on children. Resistance is growing, especially as evidence mounts regarding permanent medical consequences and profit-driven motives.

Let’s face it – we all suspected this ideological framework would eventually crumble.

J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, is one of the few celebrities willing to stand up against the woke mob. She did so again on Saturday with a bold message for her critics on social media: “There are no trans kids. No child is ‘born in the wrong body,’” she declared confidently. The bestselling author went further by accusing activists of being “prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.” Rowling’s comments were a response to accusations of focusing hatefully on trans kids. Rather than retreating, she explained how children are being influenced through various channels outside parental control.

“Kids are watching TikTok videos of surgeons selling the idea that bodies can be modified like Lego,” Rowling elaborated. “Schools affirm kids’ trans identities behind parents’ backs. A certain kids’ charity in the UK sent out breast binders to pubescent girls without parental consent.” Her stance has garnered significant support from those worried about the increasing medicalization of childhood identity issues. A report from the American Principles Project revealed that transgender medical procedures generated over $4.4 billion in revenue in 2023 alone, with projections suggesting that number could surge to $7.8 billion by 2030.

Follow the money, as they say; when billions are at stake, suddenly everyone becomes an expert in children’s “gender identity.” When questioned about her medical credentials, Rowling pointed out an inherent contradiction in activist arguments: “But being trans isn’t a medical condition, or so we’re told.” This response highlighted how proponents often shift between medical and social justifications for childhood gender transitions.

The pushback against childhood gender ideology extends beyond social media exchanges. In December 2023, Britain’s National Health Service announced a comprehensive ban on puberty blockers and other transgender procedures for minors due to “unacceptable risks.” This policy shift reflects growing concerns about long-term impacts of medical interventions on children.

Support for Rowling’s position came from various quarters, including U.S. Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), who simply stated: “I agree. No child is ‘born in the wrong body.’” Other public figures have praised Rowling’s willingness to face criticism while defending children’s wellbeing. Remember when disagreeing with gender ideology merely made you unfashionable? Now it makes you a defender of children’s health.

Despite years of backlash over her views on gender issues, Rowling remains unmoved by attempts to silence her voice. When told her comments would “generate a frenzy of rage from the child mutilation lobby,” she responded characteristically: “And my indifference to their rage will remain constant.”

Biden Health ‘Expert’ Demands Rushed FDA Approval for H5N1 Vaccines—Wants 5M Doses Forced on Americans ASAP!

Biden Health ‘Expert’ Demands Rushed FDA Approval for H5N1 Vaccines—Wants 5M Doses Forced on Americans ASAP!

A so called health “expert” appeared on CBS’s Face The Nation and urged the Biden Administration to swiftly secure FDA approval for H5N1 vaccines and distribute 5 million doses to Americans as soon as possible.

This situation seems quite reminiscent of past events. The call to action came from Leana Wen, who previously served as the Commissioner of the Baltimore City Health Department.

Wen stated, “There actually is a vaccine developed already against H5N1. The Biden administration has contracted with manufacturers to make almost 5 million doses of the vaccine.” Despite this preparation, she noted that the administration has yet to request FDA authorization for these vaccines. According to Wen, research on the vaccine has been conducted, suggesting that it could be authorized now and made available promptly.

I don’t know about you but I did not get the COVID-19 vaccine and I CERTAINLY will not be taking a H5N1 vaccine.

The best I can give at this point, as they usher in another crisis, is do not wear the mask. do not take the vaccine, and do not comply. Hopefully enough people learned their lesson during the last plandemic. I mean, how convenient for this virus to suddenly mutate and be able to jump to humans right before the “peaceful” transfer of power is set to take place.

Biden Admits Regret in Dropping Out, Claims He Was Destined to Win!

Biden Admits Regret in Dropping Out, Claims He Was Destined to Win!

President Biden is reportedly feeling increasingly resentful about his decision to suspend his presidential campaign this past summer, according to a report from The Washington Post. Despite a poor debate performance in June and plummeting approval ratings that led him to step down, sources familiar with the president’s mindset suggest he believes he could have won the election if he had stayed in the race.

In the aftermath of the June 27 debate, where President Biden struggled to articulate his points and seemed exhausted, there was a surge of calls from Democrat lawmakers and influential donors urging him to withdraw. This pressure intensified as financial support dwindled, even from prominent Hollywood figures like George Clooney. As funding dried up, Biden faced an uphill battle to maintain his campaign momentum.

Biden officially exited the race on July 21, quickly throwing his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris after former President Barack Obama advocated for an “open process.” Although Harris went on to lose to Trump by approximately 2.2 million votes—marking the first time a Democrat lost the popular vote since 2004—Biden has refrained from blaming her for the defeat in discussions with his aides. He remains steadfast in his belief that he could have secured victory himself.

Jake Sullivan, Biden’s National Security Advisor, commented on the situation by saying, “How to govern at this moment to set the U.S. up for long-term success has one answer, and how to govern to deal with midterm and presidential elections in the very short-term might have a different answer. The president went with doing things that really put America in a strong position.”

While acknowledging his lackluster debate showing, Biden has also expressed regret over appointing Merrick Garland as attorney general. Initially seen as a “consensus pick” who would be easily confirmed, Garland’s appointment was meant to be unifying. However, Biden now feels frustrated that Garland did not expedite prosecutions against political opponents such as then-candidate Donald Trump.

Adding fuel to Biden’s discontent is Garland’s decision to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. This investigation led to Hunter being convicted on federal firearms and tax-related charges across two cases—a development that deeply angered President Biden. In response, he chose to pardon his son earlier this month.
