DC Draino: We must keep fighting for America



If you’re a conservative who’s active on social media, then you’re probably aware of DC Draino.

Draino’s Twitter account was removed under former leadership but has thankfully been restored under the more lenient free speech advocate that is Elon Musk.

The influencer's real name is Rogan O’Handley, and he’s one of the most powerful conservative influencers on Instagram. The name “DC Draino” is a nod to draining the D.C. swamp, which is something he believes is sorely needed.

Jason Whitlock sat down with O’Handley on "Fearless" to discuss a possible secession, their values, and the evidence that America is not finished — despite its disintegrating Christian values and the 34 charges recently brought against Donald Trump.

While O’Handley is not a proponent of secession, he agrees with Whitlock that they “don’t share values with these people,” but he does believe “they can be convinced in the long run.”

“I believe they were programmed like this from media brainwashing and propaganda, and they can be deprogrammed.”

When Whitlock mentions that it feels like Christian values have become a disadvantage, O’Handley has an inspiring message.

He says that “the forces of darkness want you to feel like it’s hopeless. I think hope is the number one thing people need to restore greatness to a culture and to a country.”

While Democratic politicians and transgender influencers like Dylan Mulvaney continue to hack away at American values, O’Handley has a positive take on the future — so long as Americans don’t give up.

“The one thing we cannot do is give up. The one thing we must do is continue fighting and chipping away.”

He continues, “They put this communist infestation in place for 40, 50 years. We’re not going to get rid of it overnight. But with free speech,” he continues, “ and God on our side — who are following in God’s path — doing what God would want us to do, you know it’s actually kind of an opportunity.”

Spokesperson for Democratic Ariz. Gov. Katie Hobbs resigns over tweet showing woman pointing guns, adding 'us when we see transphobes' — posted hours after Nashville massacre



The spokesperson for Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has resigned amid outrage over her tweet showing a woman pointing two guns with a caption that read "us when we see transphobes." The tweet was posted not long after Monday's Nashville church school massacre.

What are the details?

The Arizona Republic reported that Hobbs' then-spokesperson Josselyn Berry posted the tweet late Monday showing a GIF of a scene from the 1980 movie "Gloria" depicting a woman holding a gun in each hand and pointing the firearms forward along with the aforementioned caption.

At some point after her tweet went live, Berry protected them, which limits access to them. But a number of folks got a hold of the tweet in question anyway:

\u201cGrabbed for posterity (before she deletes it).\u201d
— America, Amen. Tim Sumner \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@America, Amen. Tim Sumner \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1680053740

They weren't happy:

\u201cThe Press Secretary for the illegitimate Arizona Governor posted a meme calling for violence against \u201ctransphobes\u201d, which is just a blanket term used against conservatives\n\nShe tweeted this just a day after a trans terrorist killed Christians in school\n\nShe must resign\u201d

At issue is that the Nashville shooter — who was fatally shot by police — identified as transgender. A theory from the left is that the shooter may have acted out of anger against Christians and conservatives for stances against trans and LBGTQ lifestyles — as well as against recently enacted Tennessee laws banning drag shows outside age-restricted venues and banning puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and gender-related surgeries for children.

Republicans and noteworthy conservatives have been fuming over Berry's tweet, saying it encourages more violence.

The Arizona Republic said the Arizona Freedom Caucus called for Berry's dismissal, saying that "calling for violence like this is un-American & never acceptable."

The leader of the caucus, Republican state Sen. Jake Hoffman, said Berry was "threatening to shoot people Democrats disagree with less than 12 hours after the Nashville shooting," the paper added.

Other reactions:

  • "Now surely this wouldn’t be a post from Katie [Hobbs'] press secretary would it?" TheBlaze's Chad Prather wondered sarcastically. "She better not have a job tomorrow."
  • The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway said, "As Twitter bans anyone who does factual reporting about a planned Trans Day of Vengeance this week, note how it allows violent threats from Democrat Governor of Arizona Katie Hobbs' press secretary against anyone who opposes radical gender ideology."
  • Kari Lake, who lost to Hobbs for Arizona governor last fall, wrote that "if a conservative made light of a mass shooting & called for more violence, they’d be personally & professionally destroyed. But a member of Katie Hobbs’ staff did just that & the media is silent. We don't partake in cancel culture — but the media’s bias has never been clearer."

The word from Hobbs' camp

The communications director for Hobbs' office confirmed to KNXV-TV that Berry resigned Tuesday night.

KNXV added that Hobbs' office released the following statement: "The Governor does not condone violence in any form. This administration holds mutual respect at the forefront of how we engage with one another. The post by the Press Secretary is not reflective of the values of the administration. The Governor has received and accepted the resignation of the Press Secretary."

The Arizona Republic said Berry did not respond to a phone call or text messages seeking comment Tuesday night.

Spokesperson for Democrat AZ Gov. Katie Hobbs appears to call for gun violence against 'transphobes' just hours after Nashville church school massacre



The spokesperson for Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs appeared to call for gun violence against "transphobes" in a Twitter post just hours after Monday's Nashville church school massacre.

What are the details?

Hobbs' spokesperson Josselyn Berry late Monday posted an image on the social media platform from the 1980 movie "Gloria" depicting a woman holding a gun in each hand and pointing the firearms forward; the caption reads, "Us when we see transphobes," the Arizona Republic reported.

Berry's tweets are protected as of Wednesday morning, but screenshots of her tweet in question are circulating:

Along the same lines, a journalist who has contributed to NBC News as well as the New York Times, Reuters, and the Washington Post appeared to suggest in now-deleted tweet that conservative news outlet the Daily Wire — which is headquartered in Nashville — is to blame for the massacre.

What has been the reaction?

Republicans and noteworthy conservatives have been fuming over Berry's tweet.

The Arizona Republic said the Arizona Freedom Caucus called for Berry's dismissal, saying that "calling for violence like this is un-American & never acceptable."

Anything else?

Berry did not respond to a phone call or text messages seeking comment Tuesday night from the Arizona Republic. The paper added that it was the same story with Murphy Hebert, Hobbs' director of communications, and that an email request to the governor's office elicited no response.

Martha Stewart sharpens sword in bizarre Pfizer booster commercial: 'You know that unwelcome guest everyone wishes would just leave already?'



Pfizer and BioNTech recently released a bizarre commercial that starred 81-year-old Martha Stewart and showed her sharpening a sword and slashing a pineapple while advertising the pharmaceutical companies' COVID booster shot.

The advertisement campaign was launched on January 11 and was created to run on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

In the 30-second spot, Stewart is seen calmly sharpening a sword on a grinding wheel in a dimly lit kitchen. Sparks fly from the blade as she describes COVID as an "unwelcome guest."

"You know that unwelcome guest everyone wishes would just leave already?" Stewart asks in the advertisement. "That's COVID-19. That's why I got the new updated booster. Designed to help protect against recent Omicron variants."

Stewart then effortlessly slashes off the top of a pineapple and tosses it into the garbage.

"Got it?" Stewart asks while resting the sword on her shoulder and lowering her sleeve to show a bandage on her arm.

The tagline "Got booster?" appears on the screen towards the end of the commercial, mimicking the iconic "Got Milk" campaign from the 1990s. The ad then directs viewers to visit vaccines.gov to schedule their next booster shot.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, only 15.5% of the United States population has received that latest "updated (bivalent) booster dose."

Some Twitter users questioned Pfizer's odd commercial.

Elon Musk wrote about the new commercial on Twitter, stating, "Once again, parody & reality are indistinguishable."

Rogan O'Handley — known on Instagram and Twitter as DC Draino — posted the ad on social media with the caption, "I can't believe this is real Pfizer made a commercial with Martha Stewart to advertise its new booster shot. Aren't Big Pharma commercials legally required to list all the 'may cause myocarditis' side effects at the end and say 'check with your doctor'?!"

\u201cI can\u2019t believe this is real\n\nPfizer made a commercial with Martha Stewart to advertise its new booster shot \n\nAren\u2019t Big Pharma commercials legally required to list all the \u201cmay cause myocarditis\u201d side effects at the end and say \u201ccheck with your doctor\u201d?!\nhttps://t.co/aKv2yR4YtX\u201d

Pfizer recently came under scrutiny after Project Veritas released an undercover video allegedly featuring an employee stating that the pharmaceutical company was exploring mutating the COVID virus through "directed evolution" to release additional vaccines.

Pfizer replied to the accusations, "In the ongoing development of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer has not conducted gain of function or directed evolution research."

However, Pfizer then explained that "it is important to routinely assess the activity of an antiviral" and states that "most of this work is conducted using computer simulations or mutations of the main protease–a non-infectious part of the virus."

"In a limited number of cases when a full virus does not contain any known gain of function mutations, such virus may be engineered to enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells," Pfizer stated.
