Despite how hard Pennsylvania Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman tries to convince Americans he’s ready to serve as a U.S. Senator medical professionals are sounding the alarm.

ANALYSIS – Even with the decline in respect for the U.S. military due to extreme “wokeness” and other issues, Americans still hold military service in high regard.
This is especially true when it comes to those running for office.
Having served is a powerful bona fide for both Republican and Democrat candidates.
It was certainly important to my campaigns for the U.S. Congress, and for Florida Statehouse.
When I ran as an anti-establishment GOP candidate, my motto was: ‘the Marine vs the Machine.’
It’s no surprise then that lying about your military service is also a powerful temptation, not just for average joes who never donned the uniform pretending to be “super ninja, special ops warriors,” but also for budding politicos aspiring for public office trying to burnish their creds.
Pretending to be in the military or lying about your service are all called Stolen Valor because you really are stealing the bravery, patriotism, and dedication of others who actually served in the roles they did.
It is also illegal to lie about military service or veteran status to claim government benefits.
But we still see it. Even in high-profile political campaigns where they should know they will be caught.
Let me point out two current examples of political candidates from both parties who are reportedly guilty of “stolen valor.”
The one who has been most in the news is J.R. Majewski, a robust, bearded veteran praised by former President Donald Trump at a rally before the GOP primary.
He is running for Congress in Ohio.
A damning Associated Press report in September found that he exaggerated his service, including claims he’d deployed to a combat zone in Afghanistan in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
He even said he endured hardships like not showering for 40 days.
In fact, military records show that the closest Majewski got to Afghanistan was Qatar, abutting Saudi Arabia, our ally where I once helped set up the Defense Attaché Office (DAO) at the U.S. embassy.
In Qatar, he loaded planes for six months.
While he did serve, he apparently exaggerated his combat service and misled the voters.
In the wake of these reports, House Republicans withdrew an Ohio ad buy of close to $1 million originally designed to support Majewski.
As the Daily Beast reports:
The move [removing the ad buy] suggests the GOP has given up hope on what might have otherwise been an easy pickup during the elections, all but ensuring that Rep. Marcy Kaptur, the Democratic incumbent, whose victory was previously threatened by redistricting, will win the seat in Ohio’s 9th Congressional District.
But now there are claims that a Democratic candidate for the statehouse in Washington is involved in an ongoing feud with his family about whether he too is lying about his military service.
Fox News reported:
The father of Clyde Shavers, Democratic candidate for Washington state’s 10th Legislative District, claims in a recently published letter that his son lied about the details of his service in the U.S. Navy, according to local outlet Herald Net.
Clyde Shavers has run on a platform emphasizing his service in the U.S. Navy, claiming to have been a nuclear submarine officer — a position that requires a great amount of training and three separate courses.
“Clyde was never a submarine officer, not even for a day,” Brett Shavers wrote.
Fox News continued, writing that the father, “a Marine veteran, went on to dismiss any notions that his son served proudly in the military, going so far as to say Clyde Shavers has a “disdain” for enlisted service members.”
Brett Shavers added, “Clyde has only disdain for the military. I have seen Clyde’s use of veteran status used heavily as a seal of endorsement of honor and integrity, even as he or his campaign continually use the phrase ‘son of a Marine’ for his credibility.”
Clyde Shavers has denied his father’s claims, saying that the letter is “inaccurate” and “all about politics.”
While it isn’t clear from the letter or reporting if the father is accusing his son of not serving, or simply not serving in the capacity of nuke sub officer as he claims.
But the father does say his son hates the military, and enlisted troops, and is only using his alleged service to buttress his campaign.
Perhaps the news media can look further into these allegations of ‘stolen valor’ about a Democrat just like they did with GOP candidate Majewski.
It shouldn’t be too hard to confirm or deny.

OPINION – While the establishment media, partisan Democrats, and the left in general, have been raving madly about abortion rights since the Dobbs Supreme Court decision reversed Roe v. Wade, too many weak conservatives have remained quiet or avoided the issue.
As I have written before, that is a big mistake.
Pro-life conservatives should be celebrating the decision, and its already significant positive effects – a six percent drop in abortions.
Rather than being cowed by the abortion-on-demand, under any circumstances, radicals – conservatives should be proud that we favor human rights, beginning with the right to be born.
Not only that, but recent reporting shows that since the Dobbs decision on June 24 there has been a drastic decline in the number of abortions performed nationwide.
That decline comes even as abortions increased by 12,000 in Democrat-blue states.
According to the very pro-abortion New York Times report, “thirteen GOP red states banned or severely restricted abortion during since Dobbs, mostly in the South, and legal abortions in those states fell to close to zero, according to detailed estimates made by a consortium of academics and abortion providers.”
It continues, “Nine more states added major abortion restrictions, and legal abortions in those states fell by a third. In states with bans and restrictions, there were about 22,000 fewer abortions in July and August, compared with the baseline of April, before the decision.”
That is a net decline in abortions. Life News adds:
That 22,000 decline in the number of babies killed was more than enough to offset the increase of 12,000 abortions in blue states that advertised abortions to women in pro-life states that protect women and children.
Texas saved the most babies from abortions, with a massive decline from April to August, when only 10 babies were killed in abortions. In Texas alone, 5,470 babies were saved thanks to Dobbs and the new state abortion ban.
Illinois had the biggest increase in the number of babies killed as Planned Parenthood operates two abortion businesses near pro-life states in an attempt to maximize its income by selling abortions to women instead of providing them pregnancy help and support.
Dr. Alison Norris, a professor of epidemiology at Ohio State and a co-author of the report, called the decline “a shock to the system.”
While I’m certain Dr. Norris is unhappy, I’m very happy that we have provided a ‘shock to the system’ that has been conducting a version of wholescale mass murder for decades.
“We are celebrating the fact that at least 10,000 babies have a chance at life,” said Kristan Hawkins, the president of the anti-abortion group Students for Life, as reported by the Times.
“It’s a sign of course correction and of ordinary Americans finally having a say in how many lives are tragically lost to the tragedy of abortion,” she said.
Rather than hiding, or worrying about the midterms, we should be using this opportunity to educate Americans about the horrors of abortion in the hope that more women will voluntarily avoid this drastic measure, either through prevention, adoption, or worst case, very early termination before a fetal heartbeat is detected.

ANALYSIS – The stakes continue to grow for Joe Biden as more evidence is discovered about his son Hunter’s damning ties to Communist China.
While the establishment media is slowly coming around to the veracity of the information on Hunter’s laptop, they continue to downplay the more severe implications of his links to Chinese intelligence.
Thankfully, Republican lawmakers and former White House officials remain dogged in their pursuit of the truth.
As part of this effort, House Republicans last week released evidence on how the president’s son’s former business partner was connected to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
And former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told Fox News that this evidence shows Hunter Biden was “part of a Chinese intelligence mission that was trying to gather as much information as possible about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the entire Biden family.”
Just The News reported:
His [Whitaker’s] interview came days after House Republicans released evidence that before becoming Hunter Biden’s business partner and close associate, JiaQi “Jackie” Bao worked for the Chinese Communist Party at an agency that approves foreign-funded projects.
“I have always felt that in addition to the sort of just the classic political corruption that is contained in this case, there is this national security concern that I think actually elevates it to, you know, a higher level of a case,” Whitaker said.
Meanwhile, Fox News reports this new evidence is raising major national security concerns.
Republicans are demanding information from the FBI about Hunter Biden’s business partner’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party and her successful infiltration into President Biden’s family’s affairs, which they say jeopardizes national security.
James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray Wednesday morning stating that committee Republicans have documents that “reveal Hunter Biden’s business partner and close personal associate was linked to the Communist Party of China (CCP), her employer before the Biden family.”
Republicans say Hunter’s partner, JiaQi “Jackie” Bao, provided the president’s son information on how to purchase natural gas in the U.S. and sell it to China. In addition, they say documents show that Bao had access to the Biden family’s financial information and worked closely with CCP agents.
“After infiltrating the Biden family, Bao urged Hunter to encourage Joe Biden to run for president months before he announced and then supplied the Biden family campaign advice related to China,” Comer’s letter said.
Media reports and documents reviewed by Committee Republicans suggest that Bao and Hunter’s relationship extended beyond professional obligations — a common tactic employed by Chinese intelligence agents.
Committee Republicans are concerned Hunter Biden may have been compromised by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and foreign intelligence services (FIS). Due to the interconnected nature of the Biden family’s finances and business dealings, this type of access would jeopardize U.S. national security,” Comer added.
This growing evidence increasingly indicates Hunter Biden was compromised by Chinese intelligence and in turn compromised the entire Biden family, especially his father, Joe Biden.
Expect explosive revelations as soon as the GOP gains control of Congress and launches more detailed investigations.

Inflation has slowly but surely crept into nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives- especially the holidays. While Americans have likely already begun to shudder at the thought of heightened costs for major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas now even Halloween is being spoiled by the Biden administration. Candy prices for tick-or-treaters have jumped thanks to Biden and some kids could be left feeling the sting tonight.

Rush Limbaugh is sticking it to liberals even beyond the grave.
Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, the widow of conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh confirmed to Glenn Beck that his death certificate reads his occupation as “Radio’s Greatest of All Time.”
“[It was] another thing we wanted to do in a way to tweak the media as a final goodbye from Rush, which we know he certainly would have loved,” she said. “But someone put that through, ironically.”
Limbaugh also described her late husband as someone who “was so humble.”
“He had the biggest heart,” she said. “He was so sincere. He never forgot the little guy.”
Later in the interview, Beck asked if Sir Elton John, who is known to support Democrats, was aware when he performed at her 2010 wedding that the groom was the conservative radio host. Ms. Limbaugh shared that she belives the two men regardless of their opposite ideological differences were actually very similar.
“This may be breaking news, but I believe that Sir Elton John and Rush are actually very, very similar. They had quite a similar demeanor off of their performance personality. I believe that they both were so hard-working. They both were at the top of their game, so to speak. They both loved their audience,” Kathryn Limbaugh added. “So in many respects, they were very similar.”
Rush Limbaugh passed away last February following a battle with lung cancer.
It’s impossible to avoid the fact that the devastation that has befallen American cities is due to Democrat policies and now outspoken liberals are admitting it.

ANALYSIS – Following the first-ever leak of a pending Supreme Court decision, left-wing abortion extremists have threatened the lives of the conservative justices.
First by calling for violence and posting their personal details online, then by having daily aggressive protests at their homes.
The threats even extended to their families and children.
There was also a specific assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh in June when an armed man, Nicholas John Roske, 26, traveled across the country to Justice Kavanaugh’s home to kill him.
In that case, the U.S. Marshals discovered Roske had a “black tactical chest rig and tactical knife,” a pistol with two magazines and ammunition, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, a screwdriver, a nail punch, a crowbar, a pistol light and duct tape, in addition to other items, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit noted that his plan was to break into the house, kill the justice and then kill himself.
And the threats to the court continue.
These events are unprecedented in the history of the Supreme Court and have been dutifully ignored by the establishment media, Joe Biden and the Democrats.
In a letter to Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland, attorneys general from 19 states write, “charities that support pregnant mothers in need have been firebombed and pro-life organizations have been attacked almost daily and terrorized.”
They then urge him to investigate the barrage of threats and attacks made against pro-life judges and pro-life organizations.
Instead, the left focus endlessly on how conservatives are ‘extremists’ and a danger to democracy.
They also blather endlessly about MAGA ‘election deniers’ while ignoring all those on the left who now deny the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.
So, as we near the critical midterm election, it is time to remind voters of who the dangerous violent extremists really are.
As Newsmax reported:
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said this week that the leaking of a draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade put the lives of him and his fellow justices at risk.
“It was a grave betrayal of trust by somebody,” Alito said at a public interview with the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday, according to The New York Times. “It was a shock, because nothing like that had happened in the past. It certainly changed the atmosphere at the court for the remainder of last term.”
He went on to say, “The leak also made those of us who were thought to be in the majority in support of overruling Roe and Casey targets for assassination because it gave people a rational reason to think they could prevent that from happening by killing one of us.”
Alito also hit out at those who question the court’s legitimacy following the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“Everybody in this country is free to disagree with our decisions,” he said. “Everybody is free to criticize our reasoning, and in strong terms. And that certainly is done in the media, in writings of law professors and on social media.”
“But to say the court is exhibiting lack of integrity is something quite different,” he added. “That goes to character.”
Justice Alito authored the draft and final opinion that reversed the poorly reasoned Roe v. Wade decision that created a non-existing constitutional right to abortion.
He is part of the 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court.
So, whenever the left screams about ‘violent right-wing extremists,’ or ‘election deniers’ being a threat to democracy, remind them of the left-wing violence against pro-life centers and churches, the assassination attempt against a conservative Supreme Court Justice and all those who now deny the legitimacy of our nation’s highest court.
