Report: 39 Secret Service Agents Demand Investigation into Biden’s Marxist DEI Policies Following Unusual Assault by Female Agent on Male Superior

Over three dozen agents from the U.S. Secret Service have called for an urgent congressional investigation into Joe Biden’s Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, Tampa Press reported.

These policies are undermining the agency’s effectiveness and posing a potential threat to national security, according to a petition that surfaced last week.

The petition, endorsed by at least 39 agents, was highlighted by Bloomberg White House correspondent Jennifer Jacobs on social media. It specifically calls out the administration’s DEI policies, suggesting they may be responsible for a string of incidents that reveal a concerning drop in operational readiness and possible bias in disciplinary practices.

“There’s a petition circulating inside the US Secret Service that flags concerns about “a number of recent Secret Service incidents indicative of inadequate training,” a double standard in disciplinary actions, and a vulnerability “to potential insider threats” that could pose a risk to US nat sec. It was first shared Monday, I’m told, and has 39 signatures so far. Aim is to call for a congressional investigation, petition says,” Jacobs wrote.

According to RealClear Politics, the petition was launched after a disturbing incident involving Michelle Herczeg, a female Secret Service agent assigned to Kamala Harris, who reportedly engaged in a physical altercation with her male superior at Joint Base Andrews last month.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Herczeg began acting aggressively, speaking gibberish and shouting incoherently at other agents while they were near the lounge at JBA.

Herczeg reportedly threw menstrual pads at another agent before getting into a brawl a JBA.

RealClearPolitics reported that Herczeg grabbed a male agent’s personal cell phone and began deleting apps on it before she completely melted down.

Agent Herczeg had to be physically restrained and her firearm was taken away from her. She was handcuffed and taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

“Herczeg then chest-bumped and shoved her superior, then tackled him and punched him. The agents involved in restraining Herczeg were especially concerned because she still had her gun in the holster. They wrestled her to the ground, took the gun from her, cuffed her, and then removed her from the terminal,” RealClearPolitics reported.

One other agent was also hospitalized. A major DEI fail.

In response to the unfolding scandal, Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi was quick to defend the agency’s diversity policies.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Guglielmi claimed that the Secret Service prides itself on its diverse workforce, which he argued enhances the agency’s effectiveness.

“It’s evident that this anonymous petitioner does not embody the U.S. Secret Service’s values of service over self,” Guglielmi said.

“Our agency is comprised of talented professionals from various walks of life who are dedicated to safeguarding the continuity of the presidency and the U.S. financial system. Our strength comes from our diversity, in the knowledge, skills, experience, and perspective each employee brings,” Guglielmi added.

“Our people are exceptional, and we are incredibly proud to call them members of the U.S. Secret Service.”

Kansas City Under Investigation for Alleged Human Rights Violations After Doxxing Chiefs’ Kicker Harrison Butker

Credit: Getty Images

Kansas City is now in the crosshairs of a significant investigation for potential human rights violations following the doxxing of Harrison Butker, the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has taken a strong stance, announcing an investigation under the Missouri Human Rights Act to uphold the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.

“My office is demanding accountability after Kansas City doxxed Harrison Butker last night for daring to express his religious beliefs,” AG Bailey announced.

“I will enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act to ensure Missourians are not targeted for their free exercise of religion,” he added.

BREAKING: My office is demanding accountability after@KansasCity doxxed @buttkicker7 last night for daring to express his religious beliefs.

I will enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act to ensure Missourians are not targeted for their free exercise of religion.

Stay tuned.

— Attorney General Andrew Bailey (@AGAndrewBailey) May 16, 2024

Bailey has issued a formal demand to Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas for the immediate release of all documents and communications related to a controversial post made on the social media platform X.

The post in question leaked personal details about Butker following his speech at a graduation ceremony, where he shared his Christian beliefs. This act of doxxing is a direct attack on his right to freely express his religious views.

The post was then deleted. However, screenshots had already been captured.

“Missourians of faith deserve to know why Kansas City officials decided to attack Mr. Butker for his deeply held religious beliefs,” said Attorney General Bailey.

In response, Kansas City issued an apology, saying, “We apologize for our previous tweet. It was shared in error.”

We apologies for our previous tweet. It was shared in error.

— Kansas City (@KansasCity) May 16, 2024

Read Bailey’s letter to Mayor Lucas below:

It has been reported that the city of Kansas City has retaliated against a well-respected local resident and member of the Kansas City Chiefs after he spoke about his religious views. Your office’s X account likely publicly released residential location information on a private citizen, Harrison Butker, in an attempt to retaliate against him for expressing his sincerely held religious beliefs at a religious college’s commencement ceremony—to an audience that largely shares his views.

Use of government social media to retaliate against an individual based on their religious beliefs amounts to discriminatory behavior that is not tolerated under our Constitution or Missouri statute.

Our nation is founded on a bedrock commitment to the free exercise of religion. In addition, Missouri law specifically prohibits faith based discrimination against Missouri residents. Yet, your office apparently believes it is appropriate to denigrate a devout Catholic for comments he made about his own faith at a religious college.

The speech I am referencing was given by Chiefs all-star kicker Harrison Butker at Benedictine College a private, religious college. This college openly affirms that it “is committed to those beliefs and natural principles that form the framework of the Judeo-Christian tradition, and it is committed further to those specific matters of faith of the Roman Catholic tradition…” Yet, speaking to a group of fellow Catholics about theological issues important to their shared faith at a graduation ceremony at a private college prompted a retaliatory social media post by your office.

Missouri’s Human Rights Act prohibits government actors from discriminating against citizens because of their sincerely held religious beliefs. In addition to the city of Kansas City’s attack on Mr. Butker, there is an effort to force his employer to take disciplinary action against him. To any employer or government official considering such a move, I assure you that I am prepared to use the authority provided in statute to defend the principle of free religious expression.

Missouri law states the following:

Whenever the attorney general has a reasonable cause to believe that any person or group of persons is engaged in a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of any of the rights granted by this chapter or that any group of persons has been denied any of the rights granted by this chapter, and such denial raises an issue of general public importance, he may bring a civil action to any appropriate state court|.] Section 213.126.1, RSMo.

That is not the only concerning and potentially unlawful conduct. Given that your office’s official account identified where Mr. Butker may reside, it is plausible that Kansas City government officials misappropriated government resources and information to find Mr. Butker’s city of residence. This was irresponsible at best, and is potentially a violation of Missouri law. Missourians deserve better from our elected leaders.

Mr. Butker was well within his rights to discuss his religious views—views which are shared by millions of members of his faith tradition. Sadly, history is filled with examples of people of religious faith being targeted for their beliefs by government officials. Please see enclosed demand for information related to your office’s retaliatory social media post.

Meanwhile, the woke NFL has distanced itself from Butker’s statements that were critical of President Joe Biden’s leadership and opposed certain progressive policies. Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, emphasized the league’s stance, stating, “Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity. His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”

Neil Cavuto Goes Off on Joe Biden For Falsely Claiming Inflation Was 9% When He Took Office (VIDEO)

Fox Business host Neil Cavuto actually pushed back on Joe Biden’s lies Thursday morning.

Joe Biden has falsely claimed that inflation was 9% when he took office. It was 1.4% in January 2021.

Biden’s lie was so egregious that the Washington Post gave him four Pinocchio’s.

Joe Biden has now twice in one week claimed that inflation was at 9% when he took office.

It's a particularly hilarious lie because inflation was 1.4% when he took office and hit a HIGH OF 9.1% in June 2022.

That was the largest increase over 12 months since 1981. pic.twitter.com/TnVMVduDQw

— Greg Price (@greg_price11) May 14, 2024

Neil Cavuto asked Biden’s Econ Advisor Jared Bernstein why Joe Biden keeps claiming inflation was 9% when he took office when it was actually 1.4%.

“The president talked about how concerned he was for households struggling with prices,” Bernstein said.

Cavuto wasn’t having it and pushed back on Jared Bernstein.

“That’s not what I asked you. Why does he keep misrepresenting this?” Neil Cavuto said.

Bernstein continued to lie: “He’s making the point that the factors that caused inflation to climb to 9% were in place when he took office.”

“That’s not what he said! He said it was 9%!” Cavuto said.

“The annual growth in core inflation in the second quarter of ’21 was, in fact, about 9%…” Jared Bernstein said.

“No it wasn’t — it was not at that! You’re almost as bad as he is!” Cavuto said.

Slovakian PM Robert Fico was a Thorn in the Side of Ukraine Funding and EU/NATO Admission and the WHO Pandemic Treaty and an Avid Supporter of Slovakian Sovereignty

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico is dragged to his car after he was shot today.

 

Yesterday, a ‘lone wolf’ gunman attempted to assassinate the “pro-Trump” Prime Minister of Slovakia, PM Robert Fico.  Fico is reportedly in critical but stable condition after five shots were fired at point-blank range.  The AP cites “unconfirmed media reports” that it was a “71-year-old retiree” and “amateur poet” responsible for the attempt.

Leftist writer Juraj Cintula is arrested after he fired five shots at populist Prime Minister Robert Fico in Slovakia today.

 

Unconfirmed reports online also suggest that the shooter was 71-year-old Juraj Cintula, a left-wing activist and a member of the “Movement Against Violence” organization.  A video shared on X appears to show a beat-up Cintula giving a brief statement while in police custody.

+++UPDATE IM FALL FICO+++

— Theresa Finn (@Theresa_Finn_) May 16, 2024

ABC News quickly published an article titled, “Who is Robert Fico, the populist Slovak prime minister wounded in a shooting?” after the events yesterday.

In it, they claim that Fico was a “member of the Community Party before the dissolution of communism” and went on to be elected to “Slovakia’s parliament in 1992 as a member of the Party of the Democratic Left.”

Fico would become the chairman of the Smer party in 1999.  The Smer Party is described as “left-populist,” while noting that Fico himself has been compared to “right-wing politicians like the nationalist prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban.”

From ABC News:

Fico’s return to power caused concern among his critics that he and his party — which had long been tainted by scandal — would lead Slovakia away from its pro-Western course. He vowed to pursue a “sovereign” foreign policy, promised a tough stance against migration and non-governmental organizations, and campaigned against LGBTQ+ rights.

He earned a reputation for his tirades against journalists, and faced criminal charges in 2022 for allegedly creating a criminal group and misuse of power, but the charges were dropped by Slovakia’s prosecutor general.

While Fico is opposed to gay marriage, which is currently not recognized in Slovakia but is not against the law, the extent of his LGBTQ policy seems to focus on stopping the promotion of sexual ideology in schools, according to France24.  The outlet quoted a social media post where Fico said:

“Seventy three genders?  Sick.  Convert 12-year-old girls to boys?  Sick.”  France24 even goes as far as citing actions taken by Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis.

Allegations that Fico created a “criminal group and misuse of power” that were eventually dropped sound strikingly familiar to President Trump’s RICO (a criminal group?) charges in Fulton County for challenging the results in a corrupt election (misuse of power?).  Interesting.

So how does US state-run Mockingbird Media reporting on Fico vary from that of other state-run media that is less ‘friendly’ to the US and its NATO allies?  Keep in mind that Slovakia is both a member of NATO and the European Union.

RT (Russia Today) released their own assessment of Fico using direct quotes from the Slovakian Prime Minister.

On the cause of and progress of the war in Ukraine, RT cited Fico as saying the following:

  • “I say it loud and clear and will do so: The war in Ukraine didn’t start yesterday or last year. It began in 2014 when the Ukrainian Nazis and fascists started to murder Russian citizens in Donbass and Lugansk.”
  • “Russia completely controls the occupied territories militarily, Ukraine is not capable of any meaningful military counter-offensive, [and] it has become completely dependent on financial aid from the West with unforeseeable consequences for Ukrainians in the years to come.”

In regards to funding for Ukraine, Fico is on the record stating:

  • “If the strategy is to continue to pour money there, €1.5 billion per month without any result, and we have to cut our own resources? After all, we have huge problems, and public money is in a difficult state.”
  • “I will support zero military aid to Ukraine… An immediate halt to military operations is the best solution we have for Ukraine. The EU should change from an arms supplier to a peacemaker.”

After several proclamations from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that Ukraine will be a part of NATO, Fico remains a fierce opponent to the idea:

  • “Ukraine may say: ‘We want to join NATO.’ This will be their own decision. We are saying that we will not ratify [the documents on Ukraine’s accession to NATO] in parliament because Slovakia needs a neutral Ukraine. Slovakia’s interests will be threatened if Ukraine becomes a NATO member.”
  • “I will tell him [Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmigal] that I am against the membership of Ukraine in NATO and that I will veto it. It would merely be a basis for World War III, nothing else.”
  • “I am against the membership of Ukraine in NATO and I will veto it. If Ukraine were in NATO, some conflicts will be constantly instigated there, and once a clash happens between Russia and a NATO member state, we will have a world war.”

But perhaps the most concerning quotes from Fico leading up to the assassination attempt are the following:

  • “The atmosphere [at a combined meeting of EU and NATO officials on Ukraine held in Paris in February] was totally belligerent: to continue the war at all costs and do everything to make the war go on. I was very surprised that not a single word was said about some peace plan or a peace initiative. Yes, I can confirm that there are countries that are ready to send troops to Ukraine. There also are countries that say ‘never’ to that, and Slovakia is one of them. And there are some countries that say such ideas deserve consideration”
  • “Ukraine is not a sovereign, independent country, Ukraine is under the absolute influence of the United States of America – and in this the EU is making a huge mistake, not wanting to keep a sovereign view of Ukraine and only agreeing to what the US says.”
  • “If we can’t tell the truth at the Brussels table that, for example, anti-Russian sanctions didn’t work, that further destruction of Ukraine and killing Ukrainians is going nowhere, that the fanatic implementation of the Green Deal is killing our economies, that 20,000 casualties in the Gaza Strip cannot be overlooked just because Israel causes them, we are on a slippery slope that can be not only politically, but also economically destructive for Europe.”

Another article from RT quotes EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell saying that Russia is Europe’s “most existential threat” and that Putin will not stop at Ukraine if he succeeds:

“Today, Putin is an existential threat to all of us. If Putin succeeds in Ukraine, he will not stop there,” Borrell stated, adding that a Russian victory would undermine the security of Europe. However, “not everybody in the European Union shares this assessment,”

“Some European Council’s members say: ‘Well, no, Russia is not an existential threat. At least not for me. I consider Russia a good friend,’” Borrell said, without naming specific counties. “In a union governed by unanimity, our policies on Russia are always threatened by a single veto – one is enough.”

According to US media, Fico is a pro-Russian/anti-American Communist-turned-populist alleged criminal who plans to “take control of public media.”

However, according to Fico’s quotes cited by RT, he seems to be a Slovakia-First realist who understands the critical implications to his country, and the world, regarding a continued war between Ukraine and Russia that would eventually lead to WWIII.  He is avidly against signing away Slovakia’s sovereignty to the World Health Organization in their Pandemic Treaty and has taken a firm stance against admitting Ukraine into NATO, a decision his single vote is capable of stopping.

And he was shot yesterday by an alleged ‘lone wolf’ gunman who supports progressive, pro-Ukraine ideologies.

But he survived.

Pro-Trump Artist Scott Lobaido Unveils “D*cks of Hazard” Outside Manhattan Courthouse with Faces of Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, Engoron and Merchan (VIDEO)

Staten Island artist Scott Lobaido unveiled his latest art installation titled, “Dicks of Hazard” in New York City outside of the courthouse where Alvin Bragg is holding a Soviet-style show trial against President Trump.

100 pink phallic balloons featuring faces of Special Counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, Judge Engoron and Judge Merchan were released on Thursday.

The artist told The New York Post that he released the balloons to show that “these guys are a bunch of useless dicks.”

“As a New Yorker, this is how we talk,” Scott Lobaido told the New York Post.

NIH Finally Admits Funding Gain-of-Function Research in Wuhan After Fauci’s Repeated Denials Under Oath to Congress (VIDEO)

Principal Deputy Director of the NIH, Lawrence Tabak, testified before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has finally admitted to funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the ground zero for the COVID-19 pandemic.

This admission directly contradicts previous statements made under oath by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

During the session led by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) pressed on whether NIH had funded gain-of-function research—a practice that involves making viruses more infectious to study their potential impact. The response from the Principal Deputy Director of the NIH, Lawrence Tabak, was revelatory.

Lawrence Tabak was named the Acting Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from December 20, 2021, to November 8, 2023. He took over for Dr. Francis Collins, who has been in the post for over a decade. Dr. Tabak has served as the Principal Deputy Director and the Deputy Ethics Counselor of NIH since August 2010.

“It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” Tabak said, before conceding, “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.”

— Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (@COVIDSelect) May 16, 2024

This confession comes after years of denials from senior health officials, including Tabak and Fauci himself, about their involvement in such controversial experiments.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to the president, has consistently denied these allegations under oath.

In a 2021 Senate hearing, Fauci clashed with Senator Rand Paul over Fauci’s involvement in funding the Wuhan lab’s gain-of-function research that led to COVID-19.

“For years, Dr. Ralph Baric, a virologist in the U.S., has been collaborating with Dr. Shi Zhengli from the Wuhan Virology Institute, sharing his discoveries about how to create superviruses,” Senator Paul said per Swarajya.

“This gain-of-function research has been funded by the NIH. … Dr. Fauci, do you still support funding of the NIH lab in Wuhan?”

“With all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect. The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” Dr. Fauci responded.

“I do not have any accounting of what the Chinese may have done and I am fully in favor of any further investigation of what went on in China,” Dr. Fauci said. “However, I will repeat, the NIH…categorically has not funded gain of function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Last August 2023, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) submitted an “official criminal referral” to the Department of Justice (DOJ), accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, of committing perjury—a felony.

The accusation centers around an email from February 2020, in which Dr. Fauci detailed a call with British medical researcher Jeremy Farrar, then-director of the Wellcome Trust.

The email, recently unredacted and shared by RealClearPolitics White House reporter Philip Wegmann, reveals a discussion among “highly credible” scientists, including Francis Collins, former director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, concerning mutations in the novel coronavirus (nCoV).

These researchers “were concerned about the fact that upon viewing the sequences of several isolates of the nCov there were mutations in the virus that would be most unusual to have evolved naturally in the bats and that there was a suspicion that this mutation was intentionally inserted,” Fauci wrote on the email.

The email further highlights concerns over Wuhan University scientists’ work on gain-of-function experiments, a type of research aimed at understanding how bat viruses adapt to human infection. The concerns were further accentuated by the fact that the outbreak of COVID-19 originated in Wuhan.

“The suspicion was heightened by the fact that scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments to determine the molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection, and the outbreak originated in Wuhan,” Fauci added.

“This directly contradicts everything he said in committee hearing to me, denying absolutely that they funded any gain of function, and it’s absolutely a lie. That’s why I sent an official criminal referral to the DOJ,” Sen. Paul wrote.

WATCH: “It’s Like The Mr. Potato Head Doll of Crimes!” – Rep Matt Gaetz and Anna Paulina Luna GO OFF on Judge Merchan and “Made Up Crime” Against Trump Outside Manhattan Courthouse

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) condemns the witch hunt against Donald Trump outside the Manhattan courthouse

President Donald Trump is back in court today for Alvin Bragg’s show trial in New York City.

The prosecution has yet to define the alleged criminal act that President Trump committed.

Former Trump Attorney and serial liar Michael Cohen will be grilled by the defense today after his questionable testimony earlier this week.

The Gateway Pundit reported on live updates from the show trial by The Gateway Pundit contributor Paul Ingrassia, who is in attendance.

Trump is joined in court today by Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Mike Waltz (R-FL), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), Andy Ogles (R-TN), Michael Cloud (R-TX), and Bob Good (R-VA).

As The Gateway Pundit reported, on Monday, Trump was accompanied in court by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Cory Millis (R-FL), former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson, the worthless GOP House House leader who sides with Democrats and neglects his voting base on every issue possible.

Donalds, Mills, and Ramaswamy spoke to the press during the trial to condemn the weaponization of justice against Donald Trump and the testimony of convicted perjurer Michael Cohen.

Dan Goldman (D-NY) in a Judiciary Committee Hearing for not only preparing liar Michael Cohen for his testimony but also having Merchan's daughter's consulting firm on his campaign's payroll and giving her over $150,000 as her father oversees a sham election interference trial against the Democratic Party's top political rival, Donald J. Trump.

 

Watch below:

Gaetz: There is literally no branch of government that Michael Cohen has not lied to. He lied to investigators, he lied to the judge who sentenced him, he lied to the United States Congress, and he committed these lies for his own benefit. And while we're talking about what we saw in that courtroom going on for people's own benefit, we would be remiss if we did not mention this corrupt judge, this judge whose own family is making six figures off of Democrat politics and continues to gaslight the country that there's some sort of crime committed by President Trump.

This is a made-up crime. No other American in the country would be charged with this type of crime. It's like the Mr. Potato Head doll of crimes, where they had to stick together a bunch of things that did not belong together. Observing the jury, I could see that there was a great appreciation for the liar that Michael Cohen was, and we are not getting a fair shake in front of this judge. The prosecutors don't even have to seek a basis for their objections. He's agreeing with the prosecutors without even hearing the argument on these objections. And there should be evidence getting in about the depth and breadth of Michael Cohen's lies that we're not seeing entered into it. And so we're here voluntarily supporting our friend, President Trump, the leader of our movement, the leader of our party, and soon again, the leader of this great country.

Luna: I also want to point out that they're telling people that they can't have cameras in the courtroom, but if they have nothing to hide, and if they're truly being honest about this, why is it that you guys can't be in the courtroom and see exactly what we're seeing? Just because we're members of Congress does not mean we have authority more than you guys to know exactly what's happening in that courtroom. So, just an update: the President is doing well; he's in good spirits. We're here today because we know that this is nonsense and should not be happening in the United States of America.

Furthermore, to Cohen, who admitted to lying to members of Congress, that's contempt of Congress just so that you are tracking, and I want to follow it up by saying this: It is by no coincidence that you have Goldman, a member of House Oversight, who's a Democrat and prepared Cohen for his testimony, is also retained by the Judges daughter as a client. Does that seem like it's not a sham to you? It is corrupt lawfare. It's the Biden prosecutions, and Biden you're gonna lose this election cycle.

National Mental Health Survey Fails to Ask About Prescribed Psychiatric Drugs – Why Is That?

National Mental Health Survey Fails to Ask About Prescribed Psychiatric Drugs

Republished with permission from AbleChild

The United Hospital Fund, a research and analysis organization, has released a report titled The Ripple Effects of the Adolescent Behavioral Health Crisiswhich apparently reflects survey data on substance use, mental health issues, and treatment (or lack thereof) among adolescents in the U.S., New York State and New York City. Based on this report, it appears that nobody is getting better.

This forty-page report spews so many numbers it’s hard to comprehend just how bad the mental health problem is for any given age group. But the report has bigger problems. For example, the smartest guys in the room who put together this report made a fatal error, and the report should be used as confetti. One only need review the survey used to collect the data to see that the highfalutin analysts apparently have failed to ask those surveyed whether or not they had been on prescription psychiatric drugs, when, what kind and for how long. Why? Where are the “fact checkers?”

How is this possible unless the goal of the data collectors is to create a behavioral health problem where one does not exist? And, perhaps, if one were to see the numbers of those surveyed, complaining of thoughts of suicide and depression, were actually on prescription psychiatric drugs, maybe the public might understand the role those drugs are playing in the increased numbers of suicide, depression and other mental health conditions.

Can one really accept that these respected analysts just decided not to separate which adolescents were on prescribed psychiatric drugs for “treatment” of a mental illness and those who are not on a psychiatric drug? Clearly those numbers would reflect totally different data. It actually becomes embarrassing trying to accept that such respected organizations would leave out important prescription drug data. But maybe the reason for the missing data is reflected in the associations for those producing the data.

The United Hospital Fund, a nonprofit that claims to have no ties to big pharma has partnered in producing this report with Boston Consulting Group that has a division devoted to servicing biopharma. It doesn’t take much to realize that pushing “unmet” needs equates to swaying the funding of massive behavioral health and big pharma with taxpayer dollars. This massive billion-dollar industry has created a survey that leaves out the most important question… Are you currently on, or have you been prescribed in the past, behavioral health medications?

This is important information in today’s world. Too often the behavioral health community cries that more resources (money) are needed. But those cries are based on incomplete data like what is provided in this recent report. What appears to be happening is that the mental health community does not want the world to know, that despite decades of mental health intervention (prescription drug use) NO ONE IS GETTING BETTER.

More importantly, a large portion of these prescribed psychiatric “treatments” carry black box suicide warnings that increase the likelihood one will commit suicide and, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) even taken as prescribed these drugs can be addictive. One can only wonder why those putting the surveys together don’t want to capture and separate behavioral health medication data in the targeted population to determine whether the drugs are helping or actually contributing to the increased suicides and continual poor mental health of the US population. One thing is perfectly clear. Despite decades of prescribed psychiatric drugs to “treat” those suffering from mental health diagnoses, the problems get worse, and nobody is getting better. That’s a problem.

JUST IN: Governor Abbott Pardons Sgt. Daniel Perry For Fatally Shooting Armed BLM Rioter in Self-Defense, Slams Soros DA in Fiery Statement


Sgt Daniel Perry

Feel good story of the day.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott (R) on Thursday pardoned Sgt. Daniel Perry following a unanimous recommendation by the Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Sg. Daniel Perry was facing 5 to 99 years in prison for shooting a BLM-Antifa protester in self-defense in 2020 after a Soros DA went after him.

Abbott and Texas AG Ken Paxton ripped the Soros DA in statements on Thursday.

“Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,” Abbott said in a statement announcing Perry’s pardon.

Ken Paxton blasted the Travis County DA.

“Americans across the country have been watching this case in Texas and praying for justice after BLM riots terrorized the nation in 2020. Our right to self-defense is enshrined in the Constitution. Soros-backed prosecutors like Jose Garza do not get to pick and choose the rights we have as Americans, and I am relieved that justice has prevailed,”

Sgt. Daniel Perry was found guilty of murder last year after Soros-backed Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza sought murder charges for an act of self-defense during the 2020 George Floyd riots.


Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza

According to David Fugitt the lead detective on the case, District Attorney Joze Garza and his office had him remove 100 pages of exculpatory evidence. The DA’s office had him shorten his presentation from 158 slides to 56 slides.

Fugitt added that this was likely criminal behavior.

Daniel Perry, an army soldier who shot and killed an armed BLM-Antifa protester in Austin in July 2020 was indicted on a murder charge in 2021.

Perry’s lawyer, Clint Broden, argued his client, who was driving Uber when rioters mobbed his car, was acting in self-defense after the BLM activist, Garrett Foster pointed a gun at him.

“It is important to note that the standard of proof required for an indictment is significantly less than the standard of proof required for a conviction,” Perry’s lawyer said in a statement.

Shortly before he was shot dead, Garrett Foster was seen on video explaining he brought an AK-47 to deal with the “pussies” who oppose him.

WATCH: A Visibly Rattled Merrick Garland Forced to Go on Defense For the First Time as House Republicans Vote to Hold Him in Contempt

US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday told reporters that the Justice Department does not need to comply with a congressional subpoena because the DOJ is “a fundamental institution of our democracy.”

A visibly rattled Garland made the statements during a press conference to reporters after Joe Biden asserted executive privilege over the audio of his interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.

Merrick Garland was forced to go on defense for the first time as two GOP-led House Committees vote to hold him in contempt of Congress.

The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted to hold Garland in contempt and the House Oversight Committee will hold a contempt vote later this evening.

Garland told reporters that the congressional subpoena was ‘not legitimate’ and would harm the DOJ’s ability to successfully pursue sensitive investigations.

Merrick Garland was also visibly irritated that Republicans were trying to defund Jack Smith’s investigations into Trump.

Former Gorsuch clerk Mike Davis joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Thursday after Merrick Garland held a presser.

Davis said Garland was rattled after Republicans went on offense for the first time.

“Listen to Attorney General Garland’s statement. We are in his head. He’s rattled. He’s talking about defunding, how we’re trying to defund these investigations before the election, how we’re issuing subpoenas. They are now on defense in the Biden Justice Department and they’re on defense for the first time,” said Mike Davis.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer last month released a statement after the DOJ rebuffed his committee’s request for the audio recordings.

“The Biden Administration does not get to determine what Congress needs and does not need for its oversight of the executive branch,” Comer said. “The American people deserve to hear the actual audio of President Biden’s answers to Special Counsel Hur.”

Comer said it is “curious” that the Biden Regime is refusing to release audio of Biden’s interview with Hur after releasing the transcript.

What we do know is that Joe Biden lied about Robert Hur raising the issue about his dead son Beau.

The Justice Department previously defended not bringing charges against Biden because he’s a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

According to the transcript, Joe Biden forgot when he was Vice President and couldn’t remember when his son Beau died.

2024: First it was Disease X at the WEF, then Bird Flu and the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty. And we’re not even halfway through the year yet.

If the last four years have taught us anything, it’s that corrupt global leaders will stop at nothing to extend their power. And the best way to achieve this is to manufacture crises, enact “emergency measures,” and deprive people of freedoms.

It gets worse: the sad truth is that more WEF 2030 initiatives are on the way, like vaccine passports and 15-minute cities, all made possible through man-made viruses and prescription shortages. The desired future is one where people will become involuntarily reliant on the government, and ultimately depopulated.

It is your personal responsibility to be prepared.

Having access to life-saving medications is a God-given right for every American. Now, exercising that right is more important than ever, as globalists look more and more likely to continue to attack our crumbling healthcare infrastructure in order to harm us and deprive us of our freedoms.

The secret weapon the globalists don’t want you to have.

UNDER DURESS: Prosecutors Allegedly Threatened Convicted Perjurer Michael Cohen to ‘Flip on Trump or We INDICT YOUR WIFE!’

Michael Cohen (Credit: Getty Images)

Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen testified under oath that he was coerced into pleading guilty by threats from prosecutors aimed not just at him but at his family.

During a tense courtroom exchange, it became evident that the deep state’s tactics might have stooped to new lows in their relentless pursuit against Trump.

Thursday’s session in the ongoing trial saw Trump’s legal team cross-examine Cohen, following two days where the prosecution grilled him in an effort to link the former president to alleged criminal activities.

According to reports from The Gateway Pundit’s Paul Ingrassia, who is closely monitoring the proceedings, Cohen’s testimony painted a picture of a man pressured by an overzealous prosecution team.

Cohen admitted to committing federal tax evasion and making false statements related to a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) application from 2012-2017. However, the bombshell dropped when defense attorney Blanche questioned him about his 2018 guilty plea. Initially, Cohen had maintained that his plea was free of external pressures.

Today, however, he confessed that this was a lie crafted under duress—duress that involved direct threats to indict his wife if he refused to “flip” on Trump.

Paul Ingrassia reported earlier:

“Cohen testifies to having evaded substantial tax returns from 2012-2017. Also testifies that he received an application form that did not reveal the full extent of his liabilities for a HELOC form, and submitted the form to the bank with full knowledge that it was inaccurate.

“Cohen testifies to being guilty of federal tax evasion and making false statements to a financial institution. When Blanche presses him if anybody induced him to plead guilty, Cohen defers and says he feels he shouldn’t have been indicted for underlying crimes.

“Claims he felt pressure to plead guilty, thinking his wife would be indicted, based on what his lawyer at the time told him. Cohen claims he pled guilty without outside pressure at the time, but now testifies that he lied and did feel such pressure,” Ingrassia wrote.

Cohen’s explosive testimony suggested that his previous guilty plea, which he had stated was made freely and without coercion, was influenced by dire threats against his family.

“I elected to protect my family,” Cohen said.

— Travis (@Travis_4_Trump) May 16, 2024

Meanwhile, AP’s coverage of the event highlighted inconsistencies in Cohen’s accounts. During his guilty plea, Cohen had firmly stated that his decision was made without duress, a stance he now contradicts by admitting to lying under oath to protect his wife from legal peril.

The news outlet reported:

When Cohen entered his guilty plea, Blanche noted, he’d told the judge no one had induced or threatened him to plead guilty. Eventually, the defense lawyer compelled Cohen to admit that he’d lied when he said that.

Cohen has said that he was told that if he didn’t accept the plea, he and his wife would be indicted. “I elected to protect my family,” he testified.

Asked again if he felt like he’d been induced to plead guilty, Cohen said: “I never denied the underlying facts. I just did not believe I should have been criminally charged for either of those two — or six — offenses.”

So, Blanche asked, did he lie when he said during his guilty plea that no one pressured him to plead guilty?

“That was not true,” Cohen said.

Federal prosecutors told a judge in a court filing last year that Cohen’s claims to have been coerced into pleading guilty were false. “Cohen’s recent statements are belied by his under-oath statements when he pled guilty, which included that he was guilty of tax evasion and false statements to banks, and that he had not been threatened or forced to plead guilty.” In another filing in 2019, they called the story that they threatened to prosecute Cohen’s wife “patently false.”

It can be recalled that Cohen testified before Congress in February 2019, accusing Trump of various misdeeds, including lying about business interests in Russia.

In his opening remarks, Cohen said, “I have asked that my family be protected from presidential threats.”

This plea for his family’s safety, initially perceived as directed towards Trump, now appears more likely to have been aimed at the prosecutors themselves.

BREAKING: House Judiciary Committee Votes to Hold Corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland in Contempt of Congress

The House Judiciary Committee has voted to hold corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for refusing to hand over audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s audio interview with Joe Biden.

#BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee just voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for failing to provide the lawfully subpoenaed audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview of President Biden.

— House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) May 16, 2024

This news comes hours after Biden abused his power by asserting executive privilege over the audio tapes of the interview, which exposed the current White House occupant as nothing more than an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

Specifically, the written transcript of Hur’s interview previously revealed Biden brought up the subject of Beau’s death and had to rely on his handlers to remind him of the date his late son passed away.

The transcript also confirms Biden needed clarification about when he was vice president. As the National Pulse noted, Biden asked out loud in one exchange with Hur, “Was I still vice president? I was, wasn’t I? Yeah.”

Earlier this week, the House Judiciary Committee took steps to hold Garland in contempt for his corrupt actions in hiding the audio tapes from the public.

“There must be consequences for refusing to comply with lawful congressional subpoenas, and we will move to hold Attorney General Garland in contempt of Congress,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY) told the DailyMail.com in an interview on Monday.

“These audio recordings are important to our investigation of President Biden’s willful retention of classified documents and his fitness to be President of the United States.”

The House Oversight Committee will likely take action soon to hold Garland accountable as well. On Wednesday, Comer claimed in an interview with Just the News they had the votes to hold Garland in contempt.

The House Oversight and Judiciary Committees both were scheduled to consider a resolution on today and hold a vote.

MIC DROP: Rep. Elise Stefanik Eviscerates Novice Rep. Goldman in a Scathing Lesson on the Misuse of Political Lawfare Used to Interfere in Elections Against Trump (VIDEO)

Credit: House Committee on the Judiciary

In a fiery showdown during the House Weaponization of the Federal Government Subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) delivered a blistering critique of her fellow New Yorker, freshman Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY), underscoring what many see as a pervasive misuse of the judicial system for political gains.

The hearing, which featured testimony from Robert Costello, known for his previous role as attorney to Michael Cohen—Trump’s former lawyer—provided explosive testimony.

This testimony contradicted earlier statements by Cohen regarding payments made to Stormy Daniels at the sham trial of President Trump, led by Soros-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

According to Costello, Cohen admitted these payments were solely to avoid personal embarrassment for Trump, not for any illegal campaign finance reasons.

Rep. Stefanik seized this moment to dismantle Goldman's arguments, asserting his comments inadvertently highlighted the Democrats' manipulation of foreign policy and judicial processes to target political adversaries, particularly former President Donald Trump.

"And all the Republican majority is trying to do here today is interfere in ongoing criminal investigations that our system is perfectly well equipped to handle," argued Goldman in his address.

Rep. Stefanik retorted, "Oh, I love being able to respond to the novice from New York. First of all, thank you so much for stating the obvious that political lawfare is in fact election interference. That's what we're seeing with the Sham Alvin Bragg trial."

She pressed Costello on various points, establishing a narrative that Bragg’s pursuit of Trump was politically motivated from the start, highlighted by admissions that both Bragg’s predecessor and federal entities declined to prosecute Trump on similar grounds. Surely, this narrative must be a bitter pill for Goldman to swallow.

Below is the transcript:

Rep. Stefanik: "I want to begin with Alvin Bragg's weaponized sham trial in New York, isn't it true that in Alvin Bragg's campaign for Manhattan DA, Bragg specifically ran on going after President Donald Trump?"

Mr. Costello: "That is true."

Rep. Stefanik: "Isn't it true that Bragg's predecessor, Cy Vance, declined to prosecute President Trump? And the FEC also did not prosecute President Trump."

Mr. Costello: "That is true."

Rep. Stefanik: "And the DOJ did not prosecute President Trump in this case"

Mr. Costello: "The DOJ, referring to the US attorney for the southern district... Absolutely true."

Rep. Stefanik: "And one of the reasons the southern district of New York turned down this case was because the supposed star witness, according to Alvin Bragg, Michael Cohen, was totally "unworthy of belief." Isn't that true?"

Mr. Costello: "Without a doubt."

Rep. Stefanik: "This is the same Michael Cohen who pled guilty to seven counts in an indictment that had absolutely nothing to do with President Trump and actually predated the first time he met President Trump, correct?"

Mr. Costello: "Absolutely true."

Rep. Stefanik: "And in fact, this is the same Michael Cohen who perjured himself to Congress. Isn't that true?"

Mr. Costello: "Yes."

Rep. Stefanik: "In fact, when called as a witness in this sham trial, Cohen was asked directly if he was honest during his testimony to Congress. He said no, admitting perjury. But it's not just Bragg's case that is a total sham and illegal political lawfare. Going after Joe Biden's top political opponent, Donald Trump, this rot goes deep all the way up to the top in the Oval Office, because when Congress referred this admission of Cohen's perjury to Joe Biden's DOJ, isn't it true that the DOJ has refused to prosecute?"

Mr. Costello: "That is true."

Rep. Stefanik: "Isn't it correct that Michael Colangelo, who was the third highest ranking official in Biden's DOJ, was transferred to Bragg's office to run this weaponized prosecution of President Trump? Isn't that true?"

Mr. Costello: "Not only true, but it's unheard of."

Rep. Stefanik: "Unheard of. It's a disgrace. Do you agree that this weaponization of lawfare goes straight to the top with the purpose of helping Joe Biden's failing presidential campaign?"

Mr. Costello: "The circumstantial evidence definitely supports that."

Rep. Stefanik: "And the unconstitutional gag order on President Trump from New York Judge Merchant is unprecedented lawfare as far as I know."

Mr. Costello: "Absolutely."

Rep. Stefanik: "And let's go to the daughter of the judge. Isn't it true that she is raising millions of dollars off of this sham case?"

Mr. Costello: "Well, I have to say I've read that in the media. I don't know it of my own knowledge."

Rep. Stefanik: "It is true."

Mr. Costello: "Thank you."

Rep. Stefanik: "One additional question. I want to talk about the rigged and unprecedented jury selection process. Isn't it true that Bragg's team asked the jurors if they followed Trump on social media?"

Mr. Costello: "Yes."

Rep. Stefanik: "And isn't it true that they did not ask any of the potential jurors if they followed Biden on social media or Michael Cohen?"

Mr. Costello: "Yes."

Rep. Stefanik: "And isn't it true that 87% of the jurors said they voted for Joe Biden?"

Mr. Costello: "That's true."

Rep. Stefanik: "Is this unprecedented and lawfared jury shopping?"

Mr. Costello: "Without a doubt."

Rep. Stefanik: "Without a doubt. Political lawfare for the purpose of election interference, interference to go after Donald Trump. Do you agree?"

Mr. Costello: "Totally."

Rep. Stefanik: "This is one of the reasons that Trump's polls continue to skyrocket, and it's why President Trump will win in 2024, to end the illegal and warped weaponization of the justice system. Because if they can illegally go after Trump, they can go after anyone. I yield back."

WAYNE ROOT: Democrats Keep Calling Trump “Hitler.” Could It Be Because They’ve Turned America into 1930s Nazi Germany?

By Wayne Allyn Root

Folks, Democrats (ie radical communist traitors who hate America) keep calling Trump “Hitler.” They keep saying if Trump is elected, he will become a Hitler-like dictator. Hillary Clinton said it days ago. Robert De Niro said it on ABC’s “The View.” again.

But why go to the extreme of comparing Trump to Hitler? Of all people, why Hitler? It’s so extreme, ridiculous, over-exaggerated and preposterous. Why exaggerate like that?

The answer is simple: Saul Alinsky.

Every leading Democrat has studied Saul Alinsky. He is their God- along with Satan. Don’t believe me? Think I’m exaggerating? Saul Alinsky’s book, “Rules for Radicals” is the Democrat playbook. They all follow his strategy. The book is dedicated to the devil. On the very first page you’ll see the dedication. The book is dedicated to “the first radical who fought the establishment and won his own kingdom, Lucifer.”

Insanity, right?

This explains a lot about what’s happening today in America. Satan runs the Democrat Party. His right-hand man may be Obama…with help from George Soros, Klaus Schwab and the Chinese Communist Party. But in the end, the guy at the top of the food chain giving the final orders is Satan.

Democrats really are the party of criminals, illegal foreign invaders, communists, terrorists, weirdos with mental illness, and Satan.

Saul Alinsky is famous for saying, “Look in the mirror. Whatever you see, blame your opponent.”

So, the reason you see and hear Democrats calling Trump “Hitler” so often is they looked in the mirror and saw Hitler in themselves. They are the dictators. They want to imprison, or impoverish, or enslave, or torture anyone who disagrees with them, criticizes them, or challenges them. They are ones following the playbooks of communist Saul Alinsky and National Socialist Hitler.

Look around. America today looks very much like 1930s Nazi Germany.

Start with the Covid vaccine. Trump never mandated it. He never threatened anyone with losing their job, or career for not taking it. He never kicked hero warriors out of the military for not taking it. Trump believes in freedom. He gave everyone a choice. There was no coercion.

But Biden and Democrat Governors forced every employee and even school children to take an experimental, for-emergency-use only vaccine against their will. Exactly like Hitler did. This mandate violated the post-Hitler era rule called “The Nuremberg Code” that no human being would ever again be forced to take any vaccine or drug against their will.

So, who is more like Hitler? Trump or Democrats?

Democrats also acted Hitler-like with ridiculous lockdowns that destroyed the U.S. economy for a germ…and suffocating, dehumanizing masks with holes bigger than the germ…and business closures. Trump never mandated any of them.

Democrats wanted you to believe that germs only attack small businesses (who mostly support Trump), but leave billion dollar businesses alone (who mostly support Democrats). They closed and bankrupted small businesses, made tens of millions of Americans jobless, destroyed small landlords, and jailed Americans who refused to listen.

That sounds pretty Hitler-like to me.

Who wanted vaccine passports to walk into any store, restaurant, bar, gym, or hair salon? Only Democrats. They demanded “your papers” 24/7.

Doesn’t that sound a lot like the Nazi Gestapo asking Jews for “their papers?” Yup.

Who weaponized the government? Not Trump. Did Trump send the IRS to destroy Democrat’s lives? Nope. Did Trump use the FBI to go after Democrat protestors? Nope. Did Trump send the FBI to harass or intimidate critics? Nope.

But Biden (and his boss Obama) sent FBI SWAT teams to arrest J6ers…and Catholic church goers…and PTA parents…and Pro-Life protestors who sang religious songs and prayed outside abortion clinics.

Obama used the IRS to try to destroy critics like me (I’m a witness), and conservative organizations and donors.

That sounds pretty Hitler-like to me.

Trump never used the government to arrest his political opponents. Heck, Trump never even indicted Hillary!

But Biden (and his boss Obama) have been conspiring with obsessed, Trump-hating, Democrat prosecutors across the USA to frame Trump with bogus charges, or make up crimes that either never happened, or prosecute behavior that has never been prosecuted in the history of America.

They have created rigged judges and juries. In New York they want to put Trump in prison for years by using the testimony of a discredited, disbarred shyster lawyer, and a porn star and alleged prostitute. These are communist show trials. These are things a tyrant does to get rid of his opponents.

That sounds pretty Hitler-like to me.

Then there’s rigged elections. It was Stalin who said, It’s not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes.”

And media manipulation to blackout anything negative to Democrats (like Hunter Biden’s laptop, or rigged elections, or Covid vaccine deaths).

And the way Biden demonized the unvaccinated and now conservatives as “domestic terrorists” sounds awfully like the way Hitler demonized Jews.

And then there’s mass censorship, banning and silencing of conservatives and critics of this administration on social media through a conspiracy between government and Silicon Valley.

Did Trump ever do any of that? Nope. But Biden (and his boss Obama) sure did.

And now we have the cherry on top…

Watch the anarchy, hate and threats of violence on college campuses across America by thugs screaming “Death to Jews” “Death to Israel” “From the River to the Sea” and “We are Hamas.” And the thugs on college protests are exactly like Hitler’s youth army. Except now they’re the youth army of the Democrat Party.

So, now you know why Democrats are comparing Trump to Hitler. Because they looked in the mirror.

Democrats have introduced Nazi tactics into American politics. Democrats have turned our country into 1930’s Nazi Germany. And if you can’t see that, you’re part of the problem.

There is only solution: Trump.

Comer Finds New Biden Family Bank Accounts, Issues Subpoena For Hunter Bank Records (VIDEO)

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Thursday told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo that his Committee found new Biden family bank accounts.

Comer said the Biden family has dozens of bank accounts and dozens of LLCs without any legitimate business.

James Comer told Maria Bartiromo that he issued a subpoena for targeted financial information from a “certain financial institution” related to Jim Biden, Sara Biden and Hunter Biden.

We believe we have found new Biden Family bank accounts: Rep. James Comer pic.twitter.com/CW93p51gRM

— Mornings with Maria (@MorningsMaria) May 16, 2024

House Republicans previously announced they reviewed 170 suspicious activity reports linked to the Biden Crime Family.

Last year Comer identified the NINE Bidens who are implicated in the corruption.

“Bank records show the Biden family, their associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals and their companies,” Comer said.

“Joe Biden’s son. Joe Biden’s brother. Joe Biden’s brother’s wife. Hunter Biden’s girlfriend/Beau Biden’s widow, Hunter Biden’s ex-wife. Hunter Biden’s current wife. And 3 children of the president’s son and the president’s brother. So we’re talking about grandchildren – a grandchild. That’s odd. Most people that work hard every day a grandchild doesn’t get a wire from a foreign national,” Comer said.

1. Hunter Biden
2. James Biden
3. Sara Biden
4. Hallie Biden
5. Kathleen Biden
6. Melissa Biden
7. Niece/nephew
8. Niece/nephew
9. Grandchild

Comer also recently uncovered a $200,000 direct payment to Joe Biden after he received James and Hunter’s subpoenaed documents.

In 2018, Jim Biden received $600,000 in ‘loans’ from Americore Health LLC, a failing/bankrupt rural hospital operator. According to bankruptcy documents, Jim Biden received the loans “based upon representations that his last name Biden could open doors and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.”

On March 1, 2018, Americore Health LLC wired a $200,000 payment to Jim and Sara Biden’s personal bank account. On that very same day, Jim Biden then wrote a $200,000 check to Joe Biden, AKA, “The Big Guy.”

Additionally, Comer revealed Joe Biden received $40,000 of Hunter Biden’s laundered China money.

Here’s how it went down:

On August 8, 2017, Northern International Capital, a Chinese firm affiliated with CEFC, transferred $5 million to Hudson West III. This venture was co-established by Hunter Biden and Gongwen Dong, an associate of CEFC. On the same day, Hudson West III transferred $400,000 to Owasco, P.C., an entity owned by Hunter. Within a span of a few weeks, a series of transfers took place, culminating in Sara Biden, sister-in-law to the President, writing a $40,000 check to Joe Biden, labeled as a “loan repayment.”

NFL Distances Itself from Harrison Butker’s Graduation Speech After It Sends Leftists Into Utter Meltdown — Kansas City Doxxes NFL Star for Defying Woke Norms

Credit: Benedictine College

The NFL has officially distanced itself from Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s recent commencement speech at a private college in Kansas. During his address, Butker urged women graduates to embrace the role of “homemaker” and issued sharp criticisms of the LGBTQ community and Joe Biden’s abortion and lockdown policies.

Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, told People, “Harrison Butker spoke in his personal capacity. His views do not reflect those of the NFL. We remain committed to promoting an inclusive environment, which strengthens our league.”

Butker, a three-time Super Bowl Champion, delivered his remarks at Benedictine College on Saturday, focusing on the decline in moral values under the Biden regime.

He accused the president of hypocrisy, noting the incongruence between Biden’s public Catholic faith and his pro-abortion stance, calling it a “delusional” act that misleads on the possibility of being both Catholic and pro-abortion.

“Our own is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith but, at the same time, is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally. He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I’m sure, to many people, it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice. He is not alone.”

The placekicker didn’t stop at criticizing Biden; he extended his condemnation to other Catholics who support policies contradicting traditional church teachings, particularly around gender identity.

“From the man behind the COVID lockdowns to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common: they are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn’t cut it. These are the things we are told in polite society not to bring up, the difficult and unpleasant things.”

Highlighting the broader societal impacts of “degenerate cultural values in media,” Butker denounced what he referred to as “the gay agenda” and criticized the media’s portrayal of traditional values.

Addressing women directly, Butker emphasized the importance of motherhood and homemaking, praising his wife, Isabelle, as an exemplar of fulfilling her vocation as a wife and mother. He attributed much of his personal and professional success to her dedication to their family.

Furthermore, Butker addressed the men in the audience, stressing the essential role of men as leaders and providers in both the home and the wider community. He linked the absence of strong male figures in the home to societal disorder and increased violence, a situation he claims is less prevalent in countries with lower rates of absent fathers.

However, his speech sent the far left into a total meltdown.

Currently, a petition on http://change.org demands the Chiefs release Harrison Butker for his commencement speech, with over 30,000 signatures gathered.

A https://t.co/ncqnFwPAMH petition is calling on the Chiefs to dismiss kicker Harrison Butker for making several dehumanizing remarks during his commencement speech at Benedictine College on May 11th.

Greg Price criticized the apparent hypocrisy by leftists, stating, “Consider all the reprehensible actions by other NFL players—Tyreek Hill’s child abuse, DeShaun Watson’s controversies, and various cases of neglectful fathers. Yet, it’s the Catholic guy who prioritizes family over career that really crosses the line for some.”

Additionally, the Kansas City official X account doxxed Butker, then deleted the post. However, screenshots had already been captured.

In response, Kansas City issued an apology, saying, “We apologize for our previous tweet. It was shared in error.” The Hodgetwins responded by alleging, “It wasn’t posted in error; y’all are just some woke clowns.”

We apologies for our previous tweet. It was shared in error.

Fight Erupts When Feds Ban ‘Religious’ Memorial Day Event

‘A blatant violation of the First Amendment’

This article originally appeared on WND.com

Guest by post by Bob Unruh

A fight – that could end up before the federal courts – has erupted in Virginia because officials in the National Park Service abruptly have decided to censor all “religious” events planned to honor Memorial Day at Poplar Grove National Cemetery in Petersburg.

Officials with First Liberty Institute have written to federal officials offering advice on “the right” thing to do to resolve the standoff.

“Our hope is that the National Park Service will immediately correct this error and grant the permit,” said John Moran of the McGuireWoods law firm working with the institute. “This policy and the decision to block the Knights of Columbus from continuing their long-standing religious tradition is a blatant violation of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.”

Roger Byron, of First Liberty, added, “Due to the religious nature of the Knights’ annual service to honor and pray for the nation’s fallen soldiers, they have been assigned a second class status and relegated to the proverbial back of the bus. That is precisely the kind of unlawful discrimination and censorship the First Amendment was enacted to prevent. Surely this decision was an oversight.”

The problem is that while the Knights of Columbus Petersburg Council 694 has held Memorial Day services in the cemetery since the 1960s, the Parks Service now is banning them, because there is a new prohibition on “religious services.”

Disrupting a long tradition of holiday events recognizing American’s veterans, the Park Service last year denied the fraternal organization a permit to continue.

Park Service officials, under the Joe Biden administration, now are claiming that masses, or even prayer events, are now “demonstrations.”

The letter to the chief ranger at the federal location said, “There is no reason under NPS regulations or Policy Memorandum 22-01 to deny the Knights a permit to hold the service within the cemetery. Indeed, even since the adoption of Policy Memorandum 22-01, the Park Service has authorized Memorial Day masses in other National Cemeteries.”

The legal team, while it has not yet filed a formal case in court, explained that it is a violation of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act “to discriminate against and censor the Knights’ activities solely because of their religious character.”

The letter details, “The NPS’s prohibition of the Knights’ Memorial Day service due to its religious nature is not merely unlawful content-based discrimination on speech—it is textbook viewpoint discrimination, which is per se unconstitutional. … The Knights ask NPS to do the right thing and grant them permission to host their annual Memorial Day mass in Poplar Grove National Cemetery, as the Park Service has done since time immemorial—before last year—and as it has continued to do in other National Cemeteries.”

And it included a notice to the federal facility: “We strongly urge you to reconsider your decision and promptly to grant the Knights a permit to host their annual Memorial Day mass within the walls of the Poplar Grove National Cemetery. If you persist in denying the permit, our clients intend to take all appropriate steps to protect their rights, including though litigation. We therefore ask that you preserve all relevant documents and materials in anticipation of litigation.:

The letter advised that “the right thing” to see is for the permit to be issued as it has been for decades.

‘Thank Goodness He Had Subtitles’ — Leftist Jimmy Fallon Mocks Biden’s Debate Announcement Being Mumbling Mess, Jokes About CNN’s Lack of Audience (VIDEO)

Credit: The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Late-night host Jimmy Fallon didn’t hold back as he humorously skewered Joe Biden’s latest debate announcement.

The mock fest came following Biden’s acceptance of a CNN debate invitation, set for June 27 and another on ABC News slated for September 10.

The CNN debate will take place in Atlanta, Georgia. Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate CNN’s June debate.

“It is my great honor to accept the CNN Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the United States and a true Threat to Democracy, on June 27th. Likewise, I accept the ABC News Debate against Crooked Joe on September 10th. Thank you, DJT!” former President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social.

Biden responded, “I’ve received and accepted an invitation from CNN for a debate on June 27th. Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place.”

However, the real punchline came when Biden released a video where he appeared less than coherent, mumbling through his challenge to Trump. Fallon seized the moment to highlight the ironies and incongruities in Biden’s campaign strategy.

WATCH:

Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate.

Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again.

Well, make my day, pal. pic.twitter.com/AkPmvs2q4u

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) May 15, 2024

“The first debate will be next month, which is the earliest presidential debate has ever been. An early bird debate feels right for these guys,” Fallon said.

He poked fun at Biden’s debate conditions: “Biden and Trump will meet June 27th on CNN, and one of Biden’s conditions was not having an audience. So that explains why it’s on CNN.”

Fallon’s comment was a pointed dig at the network’s declining viewership. In 2021, the fake news network has lost 67% of its viewers since when Trump departed the White House.

The Tonight Show host didn’t stop there. He pounced on Biden’s request for microphones that cut off after a candidate’s time limit is reached.

I suppose that’s one way to avoid hearing ‘Come on, man!’ every five minutes. But let’s be real: The only ‘cut-off’ Biden should worry about is his bedtime.

Fallon continued to dissect Biden’s performance in the video where Joe Biden challenged Trump to the debates—mimicking Biden’s challenge with exaggerated slurred speech.

“Thank goodness he had subtitles, right?” Fallon said.

NEW: Texas AG Ken Paxton Takes Over Investigation Into Corrupt Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s $11 Million No-Bid Contract

The walls are finally closing in on corrupt Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has joined the investigation into Lina Hidalgo’s $11 million no-bid contract.

Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg (D) transferred the case to Ken Paxton’s office so it didn’t ‘fall through the cracks’ when she leaves office next year.

KHOU 11 reported:

Lawyers from the Texas Attorney General’s Office will have six months to become familiar with a case involving three ex-staffers of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo accused of steering a contract toward a vendor. That timeline was set by Harris County Judge Hazel Jones.

Attorneys from the AG Ken Paxton’s office told Jones they need time to review the material in the case.

“We just got on the case, we need to catch up to speed,” one attorney said.

Hidalgo’s office is embroiled in a bid-rigging scandal.

Lina Hidalgo’s top three staffers were indicted in April 2022 after prosecutors expanded the investigation into an $11 million ‘vaccine outreach contract’ awarded to one of the judge’s political cronies.

While Hidalgo was threatening to jail and fine people for violating her Covid rules, she was secretly trying to award one of her political cronies, Felicity Pereyra, who founded Elevate Strategies, an $11 million ‘vaccine outreach’ contract.

Hidalgo ultimately panicked and canceled the $11 million vaccine contract after questions were raised that it was with a one-person firm with no experience.

Hidalgo’s Chief of Staff Alex Triantaphyllis and Policy Director Wallis Nader along with co-defendant Aaron Dunn were charged with misuse of official information and tampering with government documents in connection with the canceled vaccine outreach contract.

Lina Hidalgo and Kim Ogg previously got into a public feud.

Hidalgo trashed DA Kim Ogg in a press conference last year after she accused her of threatening her reelection by floating a possible indictment.

Columbia University Commencement Speaker Delivers Anti-Israel Rant (Video)

Saham David Ahmed Ali/ Image: Video screenshot

On Tuesday, Columbia University student Saham David Ahmed Ali delivered the class speaker address at the Mailman School of Public Health’s commencement ceremony.

As she spoke, rather than focusing on the accomplishments of the students sharing an important moment in their lives, Ahmed Ali used it as an opportunity to push her personal agenda and delivered an anti-Israel, anti-Columbia tirade.

While speaking, her mic appeared to glitch multiple times when she mentioned Columbia’s “silence” over the ongoing Gaza war. However, it isn’t clear if the microphone was intentionally cut or was simply malfunctioning.

During the technical issues, the audience can cheer her on and chant, “Let her speak.”

Despite the technical difficulties, Ahmed Ali delivered her roughly 15-minute anti-Columbia and anti-Israel screed without further interruptions, where she falsely accused Israel of false claims of genocide and then bashed Columbia for not doing enough to address the ongoing situation in Gaza.

Ahmed Ali said it felt “dystopian” to walk the halls of the school “scrolling through social media, standing in our classrooms as I witness the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

“The silence on this campus and the pressure to say nothing while administration and professors assert that ‘we’re here for you’ while we’re actively witnessing the most televised genocide of our lives made me lose hope,” she said.

She called for NYPD officers to be removed from campus and for the protestors who were removed from campus to be granted amnesty.

She concluded her speech by listing off the demands from the anti-Israel student group Apartheid Divest, which has been involved in the disruptions on campus over the last several weeks.

Ahmed Ali did not, however, address Hamas’ use of rape as a tool of war, their attack on civilians, their murder of women and children, or the hostages that are still being held.

WATCH: Couple Walking Their Dog in New York City Deliver Bloody and Painful Lesson to Would-Be Attacker

A man’s attempted assault on a couple walking their dog quickly blew up in his face when they delivered a bloody and painful lesson he is sure never to forget.

As The New York Post reported, a man and woman were strolling the streets near 49th and Broadway in Woodside around 2:45 p.m. when the 37-year-old thug thought he spotted a pair of helpless victims and could perhaps make off with an easy score. The other man was riding in a scooter due to a foot injury.

Footage released by the New York Police Department (NYPD) shows the man sneaking up behind the couple as they strolled the streets with their pup. The suspect then throws his coat aside and pounces on the man in the scooter.

But things quickly go haywire for the assailant. The would-be victim immediately tosses the thug to the ground and starts raining blows at him.

The woman then starts pounding away at the man. They refuse to show any mercy even after the attacker seemingly tries to escape.

Bystanders then put an end to the fight when by stepping between the couple and the man.

The New York Police Department revealed the perpetrator was taken to Elmhurst Hospital with multiple stab wounds. He is in stable condition at the moment.

The Post reports that while no arrests have been made, the cops are on the hunt for two suspects.

FOX News Saturday Night Host Jimmy Failla Releases “Keeps Falling” – The Ballad of Joe Biden… And HE NAILS IT! (Video)

Joe Biden takes a dive on stage at the US Air Force Academy graduation in June 2023.

FOX News radio host and comedian Jimmy Faila released a must see video on Joe Biden’s presidency titled “Keep Falling.”

The video is credited to “Joe Biden and the Alzheimers” band and produced by “C’Mon Man Records” exposes the Socialist-Democrats attempting to push this failed candidate who can’t find his way off a stage and can’t finish a sentence for US president.

The left may attempt to steal another election with this confused serial liar but the American public will no longer be fooled or threatened into silence.

Let the mockery of this bonehead begin!

Here are the lyrics.

He’s an old guy,
has dementia,
can’t lead us.
And the country is screwed.

Tells some big lies,
barely speaks English,
sniffs children,
and their mom’s hair, too,

goes the wrong way.
When he leaves his speeches,
gets lost each day.
In the White House yard,

all the Dems say
that we should reelect him.
How can he win?
When walking is hard?

And Joe Keeps, (keeps falling yeah he keeps falling)
Keeps falling (keeps falling yeah he keeps falling)
And Joe keeps (keeps falling yeah he keeps falling)
Keeps falling (keeps falling yeah he keeps falling)

House Armed Services Committee Ignores Whistleblowers – Refuses to Stop the Mistreatment of Injured U.S. Service Members

Image: Wikimedia Commons (Public domain photograph from defenseimagery.mil)

As the Department of Defense continues to ignore the plight of many service members injured in the line of duty, the House Armed Services Committee shamefully ignores repeated calls for accountability and compliance with federal law.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Major (ret.) Jeremy “Weed” Sorenson, a former F-16 and A-10 fighter pilot who was deployed to combat on multiple occasions throughout his career. Today, Sorenson serves as Director of Guard and Reserve Affairs for Uniformed Services Justice & Advocacy Group (USJAG).

He shared that a whistleblower complaint was received on January 31, 2023, by the House of Representatives Committee on Government Oversight and Accountability regarding “widespread, systemic mistreatment of injured U.S. military Service Members.” Extensive information and evidence of widespread misconduct was provided to the author.

After reviewing the documentation, it was confirmed that the complaint identified specific widespread violations of law and regulations against service members, primarily the intentional denial of military pay, medical care, and disability benefits for service members who are injured in the line of duty (LOD).

Allegations included the following:

  1. Denial of due process throughout the LOD determination process
  2. Unlawful Not in the Line of Duty determinations, contrary to evidence
  3. Unlawful termination of medical care, pay, benefits following injury, illness, and disease
  4. Unfair Disability Evaluation System (DES) processing
  5. Unlawful denial of military disability benefits

Additionally, allegations were made that a key National Guard Bureau (NGB) official involved in unlawfully denying benefits, was simultaneously serving on active duty while also employed as a Department of Defense (DOD) contractor.

Sorenson said the Oversight Committee did not address the complaint but referred it to the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) in April 2023. “On April 24, 2023,” he said, “[A HASC staffer] reached out to the whistleblower for information, and the whistleblower learned that the Oversight Committee had failed to forward any information on the complaint to the HASC.”

After the whistleblower provided HASC “extensive information on the widespread misconduct and unlawful activity within the DOD,” Sorenson pointed out, “five more whistleblowers also came forward and provided extensive personal information and compounding evidence to HASC.”

Six months later, he noted the whistleblowers had not been called by any HASC official or staffer. “They never even spoke with the five whistleblowers,” he added. During this time, the Chairman of the HASC Subcommittee on Military Personnel, Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) was also contacted multiple times, but the calls for help were ignored.

On December 1, 2023, Sorenson said, HASC staff informed three of the whistleblowers that the matters were “outside of our jurisdiction” and closed their complaints despite HASC leadership being provided specific details and evidence of alleged misconduct.

Due to the lack of attention by the staffers, HASC and Senate Committee on Armed Services (SASC) chairmen and ranking members were contacted by USJAG on December 1, 2023. One week later, USJAG received a response from a HASC research assistant. She said, “The Committee…will consider the individual cases closed.”

Another HASC staffer then followed up to state: “I wanted to foot stomp some of the points…Specifically, that we reviewed and analyzed each individual case that was brought before us, found that there was no systemic link between the cases, and therefore was not in HASC jurisdictions…”

For the USJAG Director of Guard and Reserve Affairs, White’s tone was clear. “HASC didn’t care and blatantly refused to address the matter any further,” he explained.

And according to Sorenson, “It was clear the HASC had not thoroughly investigated the matter, but had instead just provided the ultimate congressional cover-up for the DOD’s misconduct.” Interestingly, he disclosed that “at the same time HASC was finalizing their cover-up, the Inspector General (IG) of the U.S. Air Force, Lt. Gen. Stephen Davis, directed SAF/IGS (the senior investigative element in the USAF) to conduct a major inquiry into the numerous allegations of systemic misconduct.”

“More than a dozen whistleblowers came forward, and the IG inquiry now has the direct attention of the senior leadership of the USAF and DOD,” Sorenson said, adding that “except for Lt. Gen Davis, however, the senior leadership of the U.S. Air Force and National Guard have refused to respond to any communications from individual service members and advocates. “It is clear the Air Force and National Guard leadership’s only goal is to cover up the egregious, systemic misconduct within their ranks,” according to Sorenson.

Six months after the HASC closed all of the complaints, on May 5, 2024, HASC staffers sent additional closure letters to five of the six original whistleblowers, tacitly admitting they had previously provided false information about thoroughly investigating and finding “no systemic link between the cases.” Interestingly, they are now stating, “We are actively seeking, through legislative means, a way to increase transparency and efficiency surrounding this area.”

“Unfortunately, it appears that NGB and DOD leadership had misled HASC, and as a result, HASC ignored the matter,” according to Sorenson. “But HASC should and does know better,” he argued. “Just like the DOD IG, it appears HASC is just another fox watching the henhouse, an organization that selectively disregards their oversight responsibilities.”

In response to an inquiry from the author, a HASC spokesperson said:

The House Armed Services Committee worked closely with individuals who sought help from the Committee with challenges they were experiencing with the National Guard. While assisting these individuals, the Committee identified extreme delays in military records processing. As the Committee looked closer at the issue, the Committee found that the office within the National Guard Bureau that handles FOIA requests is understaffed, resulting in extended wait times to fulfill FOIA requests. To address the issues the committee found and restore public confidence in the National Guard Bureau’s FOIA process, the FY25 NDAA will require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on the staffing needs of the National Guard Bureau to administer its responsibilities related to FOIA requests so that Congress can address these issues in the near future. In addition, the committee staff informed impacted individuals of their options to appeal, as well as encouraged them to engage with their congressional representatives.

To that, Sorenson argued that the HASC response is “a bold face lie and simply more deflection away from the actual complaints brought forward.” He noted, “The HASC didn’t even speak to the whistleblowers, let alone work closely with them.” For this reason, he said, “This misleading response addresses FOIA, not the actual complaints of mistreated injured service members and the rampant violations of law.” He called it “disgusting, but not surprising.”

For Nic Gray, USJAG CEO and Army veteran, “This is all another example of politicians doing just enough to make it look like they care about a problem.” According to him, “It’s a stall tactic, buying them time and finding a way to bury the problem rather than addressing and solving it.” He considers HASC and SASC to be “compromised,” explaining, “they don’t want to bite the hand that feeds them, aka defense contractors.” He proposed, “Follow the money and you’ll find the motive.”

USJAG continues to represent many injured service members, like Army Master Sergeant James Buckley, for example, who was abandoned by the Air Force after being injured in the line of duty.

UC Irvine Professor of Global Studies Is Arrested and Demasked at Pro-Palestinian Rally – Then Goes on Unhinged, Incomprehensible Rant of Screaming and Insanity (VIDEO)

Can you imagine this lunatic in your child’s classroom?

A Pro-Palestinian protester and Professor of Global Studies at UC Irvine was demasked arrested at campus protests on Wednesday. Then she went on an incomprehensible screaming rant.

The downfall of America…

Can you imagine sending your child to a University that employs this as a professor – and you have to PAY for it?

The professor also attacked the UC Irvine Chancellor.
We transcribed her crazed rant.

These young people are going to be the ones that have to pay the price for these horrible decisions. These police officers out here today, that’s thousands of students scholarships.

Thousands of students could have been able to go to school and have books and have housing.

But instead, our Chancellor, who is a very cruel man, decided to send thousands of dollars worth paid for by the tax payers into the trash. Are you concerned about this jeopardizing your job? For real. What job do I have if the students don’t have a future.

The LA Daily News reported on the professor’s arrest but did not name her.

A global studies professor, who did not give her name as she was detained by police, blasted UCI Chancellor Howard Gillman and blamed him for the cost associated with the large law enforcement presence Wednesday, saying the money could’ve gone to help students. When asked if she feared for her job, the professor said, “What job do I have if the students don’t have a future?”

The Professor of Global Studies was not named in any of the LA media reports.

However, Amy Mek was able to identify the unhinged lunatic.

Her name is Tiffany Willoughby-Herard.

The UCI School of Social Sciences has Tiffany’s profile listed – She is a professor of Global and International Studies with an emphasis in African studies.

Tiffany Willoughby-Herard is a new associate professor in the Department of Global and International Studies, but not a new face to the UCI campus. For the past 16 years, she’s been a faculty member in the Department of African American Studies in the School of Humanities. With her move to global studies in the School of Social Sciences, she’s excited to collaborate and grow with the department’s many young scholars who focus on the Global South.

As a humanistic social scientist and comparative political theorist, Willoughby-Herard’s interests span multiple disciplines including African studies, international and global studies, feminism, political science, and humanities. As such, her research has been published in journals as diverse as Theory and Event; Politics, Groups, and Identities; African Identities; PS: Political Science and Politics; Palimpsest: A Journal on Women, Gender, and the Black International; and others. Bringing together approaches from both the humanities and social sciences, she investigates the function of race and enslavement in national identity which has important implications for theories of citizenship, immigration, democracy, and justice.

JUST IN: Joe Biden, “Elderly Man with a Poor Memory,” BLOCKS Audio Release of Devastating Special Counsel Interview – White House Then Whines GOP is Being Political

Photo: Bill Pugliano/Getty Images

Joe Biden has abused his power by asserting executive privilege over the audio tapes of his interview with ex-special counsel Robert Hur, which exposed the current White House occupant as nothing more than an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

The Associated Press notesthe dispute is at the center of a Republican effort to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for defying their request over access to the recordings.

But White House counsel Ed Siskel lashed out at the House GOP in an angry letter, accusing them of only wanting the recordings “to chop them up” and use them for political reasons.

“The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal — to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes,” Ed Siskel wrote.

He added, “Demanding such sensitive and constitutionally protected law enforcement materials from the Executive Branch because you want to manipulate them for potential political gain is inappropriate.”

Earlier this week, the House Judiciary Committee took steps to hold Garland in contempt for his corrupt actions in hiding the audio tapes from the public.

“There must be consequences for refusing to comply with lawful congressional subpoenas, and we will move to hold Attorney General Garland in contempt of Congress,” Comer told the DailyMail.com on Monday.

“These audio recordings are important to our investigation of President Biden’s willful retention of classified documents and his fitness to be President of the United States.”

The written transcript of Hur’s interview previously revealed Biden brought up the subject of Beau’s death, also had to rely on his handlers to remind him of the date his late son passed away.

The transcript also confirms Biden needed clarification about when he was vice president. As the National Pulse noted, Biden asked out loud in one exchange with Hur, “Was I still vice president? I was, wasn’t I? Yeah.”

The outlet further reveals the document he was looking at was dated 2009, and he had only been vice president for four months at the time. At another point, he said, “Well, if it was 2013 — when did I stop being vice president?”

One can make a safe assumption that the audio must have been even worse.

In a Time When it Feels Like We’ve Been Abandoned by Feel Good Stories, J6 Political Prisoner Enrique Tarrio and CondemnedUsa Share Heartwarming Story

Guest post by Jenn Baker, CondemnedUSA

Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys Leader and January 6th Political Hostage, is serving a 22-year sentence for NOT being in Washington DC, and yet, being one of the “masterminds” of that day. While being imprisoned in Kentucky, Tarrio has vowed to make the most of the time that he is being forced to endure.

While incarcerated, prisoners are given an opportunity to work. They have several programs that are offered in the various facilities. At FCI Manchester, where Tarrio is serving his time, they offer a program that allows inmates to train and bord dogs. The dogs are trained initially to become service dogs. Some of them don’t make it as a service dog, however, they continue to train so they can be adopted by a good home.

Tarrio became involved with this program and received his first dog named Blue. Blue is an Australian Shepherd/ Poodle mix. He is black and white with steel blue eyes, big paws, and A LOT of energy. The dogs do everything with their trainer.

Blue would be with Tarrio 24/7, sleeping in a kennel next to each other within a locked cell.

The day came when it was time for Blue to start getting ready for adoption. Tarrio reached out to CondemnedUSA asking for help in finding Blue a wonderful forever home, and they answered his call and found the perfect family.

We found Jimmy and Amy of Texas, and they were ecstatic at the possibility of adopting Blue. These two Patriots recently lost one of their beloved dogs to cancer and didn’t need to be asked twice. Last weekend, Jimmy and Amy hopped in their RV and headed to Kentucky to pick up the newest addition to their family.

Pawsibilities Unleashed , out of Frankfort Kentucky, is the organization that makes this program possible. They provided Blue’s new owners with all the necessary medical and training paperwork. There are fees that go along with the adoption which can vary depending on the program and medical needs of the individual dog.

Once they arrived in Kentucky, Jimmy and Amy met Blue and fell in love with him instantly. Although they did not get to meet with Tarrio, he made sure they received his personal daily journal, which he kept while training Blue. Here are a few excerpts:

On the trip home to Texas, Jimmy and Amy took note of Enrique’s journal and continued with the training Blue had received from him. At first, Blue was nervous and anxious, as the ride in the RV seemed to be overwhelming. His newly found freedom was full of smells, sights, and feelings this puppy had never experienced before. He wanted to stay next to Jimmy while the RV was moving and kept trying to lay by his feet, which was not ideal since Jimmy was driving. It is noteworthy that at only five months old, Blue had spent over a month with all men, and it seems he was very comfortable with the male energy Jimmy was giving off.

Blue staying close to Jimmy.

 

Blue being blocked by the cooler to keep him from sitting at Jimmy’s feet while driving. He is sitting cross-legged, close, and pouting just a bit.

Amy took Blue out for walks, training, and to use the bathroom while traveling. After a good day on the road, Blue finally got comfortable in the RV just in time for the last part of the trip.

Shakedown command, in which Tarrio says “You’ll never find anything on Blue because he is a good boy.”
Blue following his “Shakedown” Command

Once home, Amy and Jimmy introduced Blue to their other two dogs, and it was not easy at first. When Amy checked in after three days of Blue being in his new home, it was nothing but praise and happiness. Blue and the other dogs have adapted to each other and are playing, sleeping, and eating together. There is more life and pep in the two older dogs, who seemed melancholy since the passing of their “brother.”

Enrique shares the last and best command with Blue’s new owners, Jimmy and Amy.

This is a new chapter for Amy and Jimmy’s family. They have a wonderful new puppy, and it was all due to a small but meaningful program that has made a difference in so many lives.

Tarrio will, hopefully soon, have another dog to train and be able to send that one off to find an amazing forever home, as he did with Blue. He has spoken with Amy since they returned to Texas and is checking on Blue’s training. He couldn’t be happier that Blue is adapting to his new family and surroundings.

CondemnedUSA will continue to help with the little things, as well as the big, for the J6 Political Hostages. They will be there to answer the call. Tarrio knew he could trust CondemnedUSA to give Blue his forever home and knew he would see Blue again because he called them first.

SHE DID IT! Scumbag Senator Bob Menendez Blames His Wife at ‘Gold Bars’ Corruption Trial

By: Ben Kew

The Democratic Senator for New Jersey, Bob Menendez, attempted to shift blame onto his wife during opening statements at his ongoing corruption trial.

Menendez went on trial for corruption this week and is facing 18 criminal counts, including bribery, extortion, wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and acting as a foreign agent.

His lawyer, Avi Weitzman, told the jury that his wife Nadine had “kept him in the dark” about financial matters and that they led separate lives.

“Let me say this about Nadine: Nadine had financial concerns that she kept from Bob,” he said. “The government’s allegations that the senator sold his office and his loyalty to this country are outrageously false. Bob was doing his job, and he was doing it right.”

Day 4: Menendez Trial -Manhattan Federal Court
-Gold bars and who they belonged to were the hot topic of Wednesday opening arguments.

However, prosecutor Lara Pomerantz accused Menendez of putting “his power up for sale” and using his wife as a middleman in his trade of political influence for money, gold bars, and other valuables.

“For years he betrayed the people he was supposed to serve by taking bribes,” she said. “This was not politics as usual. This was politics for profit. This was a United States senator on the take.”

Senator Bob Menendez reportedly may blame alleged crimes on his wife in his corruption trial.

Investigators who executed a warrant at his home in September found over $480,000 in cash stuffed in items of clothing, as well as 13 gold bars worth over $100,000. Agents also uncovered other lavish gifts, including a Mercedes-Benz and various home furnishings.

Prosecutors argue that these discovered items were given in return for acting on behalf of the Egyptian government. They also allege that he accepted bribes from the Gulf state of Qatar.

Menendez is standing trial alongside Fred Daibes, a New Jersey real estate developer accused of delivering the gold and cash to the senator, and businessman Wael Hana, who is accused of facilitating a deal between Menendez and Egypt.

Both have also entered not guilty pleas.

The trial continues.

Paul Ingrassia: My thoughts: Blanche has to drill into the skulls of the jurors what crime, precisely, is being prosecuted here. He should rigorously spell out the elements of the alleged crime, and remind jurors that each element must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the highest evidentiary standard in criminal law. Without those elements, there can be no crime. So far, we are getting tangled in the weeds of a systematic and sensationalistic smear campaign involving Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen. But that has nothing to do with anything, as far as the law is concerned. This is allegedly an FEC violation, but we’re in state court. Why is that? That’s a foundational, threshold question. So far, unbelievably, no crime whatsoever has been articulated by the prosecution. Nobody knows what the felony is being prosecuted here, let alone the elements of said felony. In order to have a criminal trial, you need to define a crime. This may be the first trial in history where no crime has been articulated. This all-essential fact must be blown out of the water by the defense. It’s a slam dunk case once that is exposed.

Geert Wilders’s Dutch Coalition Pledges ‘Strictest-Ever’ Migration Policy, Warns Illegals Will Be Removed ‘By Force’

By: Ben Kew

Dutch conservative leader Geert Wilders has pledged to implement his country’s “strictest ever” asylum policy after he finally reached a coalition agreement to form a government.

Wilders yesterday confirmed the completion of a coalition agreement after six months of negotiations following last year’s general election, in which he won a significant number of seats but short of a governing majority.

As a result, Wilders is pledging to bring in major immigration reforms that would prevent the ongoing invasion of the country’s borders.

NEW:

PVV’s Geert Wilders declares “the strictest asylum policy ever” in Dutch history after creating the most right-wing coalition in DECADES: pic.twitter.com/tk85G5u70G

— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) May 16, 2024

MailOnline notes:

The Netherlands has today said it will opt out of European Union rules to bring in its ‘strictest-ever’ asylum policy following Geert Wilders’ shock election victory.

The newly agreed Dutch coalition government said the new policy will see people removed from the European country ‘by force’ – setting up a clash with leaders in Brussels even before it has taken office.

The 26-page coalition agreement emerged early Thursday after six months of gruelling talks between four parties following last years’ stunning election victory by Wilders, the long-time Euro-sceptic and leader of the far-right PVV party.

The parties said they would file a request to the European Commission for an opt-out on European asylum policy ‘as soon as possible.’ People without a valid residence permit will be deported ‘by force if necessary,’ said the report.

Yet as reported by The Gateway Pundit, Wilders has had to make significant concessions to his left-wing coalition partners that will soften parts of his agenda. This includes dropping opposition to funding Ukraine’s war against Russia and withdrawing his name for the role of Prime Minister.

However, Wilders remained upbeat about the prospects of the coalition government, which involves working with three so-called “right-leaning” political parties.

“‘I can’t see this fail… If everything goes according to plan today, it will be a great outcome,” he told reporters on Wednesday. “We have a negotiating agreement. But the factions will also discuss it later, so there may be adjustments and amendments.”

An agreement on who will serve as Prime Minister has yet to be finalized.

Biden’s Disjointed Israel-Hamas Policy Costing Lives Present and Future

President Joe Biden addresses community leaders and first responders following the recent terrorist attacks by Hamas, Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at the Hotel Kempinski in Tel Aviv, Israel. (Official White House Photo by Cameron Smith)

 

President Biden’s inconsistent handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict is straining relations with Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu, the US’s primary ally in the Middle East. At the same time, the uncoordinated and conflicting policy decisions make the US appear weak, encouraging terrorists and adversaries in the region and around the globe. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) criticized Biden, stating, “President Biden has continued to embolden Iran through weak policies, allowing Iran to fund terrorist attacks against our allies.” Initially, the President pledged his support for Israel, but then later announced that he would pause the delivery of some US weapons and ammunition to Israel. Now, it seems that Biden is moving forward with a $1 billion arms sale to Israel.

President Biden said that he is frustrated with Netanyahu’s handling of the conflict, saying that too many civilians have died. He criticizes the Prime Minister for not using targeted enough attacks, thus resulting in more civilian casualties. On the other hand, according to Senator JD Vance (R-OH), Biden is withholding advanced US weapons which could be used to target more directly against Hamas, reducing civilian casualties.

A good example is Israel’s ability to conduct targeted attacks, such as the strike against a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, whom Israel assassinated in Syria last month. Not only were civilian casualties kept to a minimum, but several of his assistants, including another general, were also killed, dealing a significant blow to Iran’s ability to fight in the region.

There have been no serious demands from the White House for the hostages to be released, including the Americans. However, the president is on TV condemning Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza. Providing a view from outside of the United States, former senior British military intelligence officer Philip Ingram suggests that Hamas is watching and most likely feels that all they have to do is wait. Eventually, the support from the US and the world will wane, and Hamas will survive.

And if Hamas survives, the attacks will continue. Hamas leaders have publicly stated that they plan to commit future attacks similar to October 7th. Mr. Ingram has gone so far as to call Biden and the pro-Palestine protestors “useful idiots” because they are applying pro-Hamas pressure on Western governments without Hamas having to do anything.

Defenders of President Biden’s policies say that he is working from a position of lessons the US allegedly learned in Vietnam and Afghanistan. However, if the US had actually learned from Vietnam, the US would never have had to face the same situation in Afghanistan. In fact, if the US had learned from the French in Vietnam, the US would never have had to learn their own lessons from Vietnam. Given the US track record in the Middle East, it is illogical for President Biden to “micromanage” Israel’s war.

After the US let down the Afghanis and the Kurds, and now that there are widespread pro-Hamas and anti-American protests sweeping US college campuses, Netanyahu must be questioning President Biden’s commitment to US national security, much less Israel’s. A country so riddled with security threats, including open borders which are allowing terrorists, transnational crime, and narcotrafficking organizations to operate within the US, has no place telling Israel how to handle its own national security.

Netanyahu has his goals and objectives, and his strategy seems to be working. As of December, Israel claimed they were at the halfway mark in the war, and the IDF continues to make gains against the terrorists. Hamas began the war by killing 1,200 unarmed civilians. Now that they are being defeated, they are trying to tap out, to get the world community to come in and stop Israel. At the same time, Hamas is literally and figuratively hiding behind its own civilian population. Hamas does not wear uniforms, so even when Israel kills Hamas terrorists, the organization can claim that Israel is targeting civilians. Therefore, while it is unfortunate that innocent people are being killed, they were put in harm’s way by Hamas; consequently, defeating Hamas will sadly result in collateral damage.

The only way for peace is to defeat Hamas as a military organization. There is no way to defeat or eliminate the ideology, but by rooting out the commanders and military-trained battalions, Israel will be in a much better position. At the end of the day, the reason why Egypt and other Arab nations will not accept the refugees is that they also fear and hate Hamas. Saudi Arabia, in particular, is just concerned about making money. They have no time for terrorists. Consequently, if Israel is allowed to finish the job, decimating Hamas’s ability to wage war, the offensive will stop, the images and videos will fade from headlines, and the Israel-Gaza offensive will fade into the memory hole. At that point, it will be much easier for Israel and Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other regional powers to normalize relations, creating an anti-Iran coalition and bringing greater stability to the region.

Senator Vance put it this way, “Our goal in the Middle East should be to allow the Israelis to get to some good place with the Saudi Arabians and other Gulf Arab states. There is no way that we can do that unless the Israelis finish the job with Hamas.”

Lecturing Biden Official Destroys US Relations with Niger – Now US Troops are Stuck in Country, Biden Is Abandoning its $100 Million Airbase, and Russian Forces Have Moved In

Another Biden foreign policy catastrophe.

Molly Phee, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, did a bang up job in Niger. Now US forces are being told to leave the country pivotal to US national defense.

Another Biden disaster: US State Department’s top official for African affairs, Molly Phee, lecturing in Niger in December 2023 and Niger protesters calling on the US to leave their country in April.

Nigerien Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine recently spoke to reporters and blamed US State Department official Molly Phee of threatening the current leaders while negotiating US military presence in the country.

The Nigerian leader blamed Phee for the complete breakdown in relations. Zeine described his reaction to Molly Phee when she came to lecture the Nigerien leaders in March, “You have come here to threaten us in our country. That is unacceptable. And you have come here to tell us with whom we can have relationships, which is also unacceptable. And you have done it all with a condescending tone and a lack of respect.

In April we learned about Joe Biden’s most recent foreign policy disaster in Niger, Africa. US troops are trapped in the country allegedly without water and medicine at the time. The Army was likely hiding this to protect itself from the embarrassment. Deployed Americans were in limbo and unable to do their jobs and the Biden State Department was completely outmaneuvered once again.

Thanks to brilliant negotiating skills by Biden appointed diplomats US military will leave Niger and leave behind a $100 million airbase to the current anti-American rulers.

The USA confirms it will pull out of Niger.

1000 soldiers will leave after having been told to get out by the new Russian-friendly military junta

They will leave the $110 mln airbase built a few years ago from which the US has been running its drone operations against AQ & ISIS pic.twitter.com/UwCLn79acW

— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) April 20, 2024

On top of that news broke last week that Russian troops have now entered the US airbase in the nation’s capital, Niamey.

The Russians will cohabitate with the remaining Americans at the US Airbase 101.

This is another humiliation of US troops by Joe Biden.

Now we find out it was US diplomat working for Joe Biden who destroyed this important relationship with Niger.
Via Stars and Stripes.

A crucial military relationship between the United States and its closest West African ally, the country of Niger, ruptured this spring after a visiting U.S. official made threats during last-ditch negotiations over whether American troops based there would be allowed to remain, according to the country’s prime minister.

In an exclusive interview, Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine put the blame for the breakdown squarely on the United States, accusing American officials of trying to dictate which countries Niger could partner with and failing to justify the U.S. troop presence, now scheduled to end in the coming months. Niger has been central to efforts to contain a growing Islamist insurgency in West Africa.

The rift between the former allies has created an opportunity for Russia, which has moved quickly to deepen its relationship with Niger, dispatching troops to the capital, Niamey, last month to train the Nigerien military and supplying a new air defense system. Russian and U.S. troops now occupy opposite ends of an air base.

After a military coup d’état ousted Niger’s democratically elected president last year, the United States froze security support as required by U.S. law and paused counterterrorism activities, which had involved intelligence gathering on regional militant activities from a massive drone base in the country’s north. The United States has kept more than 1,000 military personnel in place while negotiating with Niger over their status and urging the junta to begin restoring democracy…

Stars and Stripes then reveals the genius in the Biden State Department who destroyed US relations with Niger and how she did it.

He said the Nigerien leaders took particular umbrage at remarks by Molly Phee, the State Department’s top official for African affairs, who he said had urged the government during a March visit to Niamey to refrain from engaging with Iran and Russia in ways objectionable to Washington if Niger wanted to continue its security relationship with the United States. He also said Phee had further threatened sanctions if Niger pursued a deal to sell uranium to Iran.

“When she finished, I said, ‘Madame, I am going to summarize in two points what you have said,’” recounted Zeine, who has led negotiations with the United States. “First, you have come here to threaten us in our country. That is unacceptable. And you have come here to tell us with whom we can have relationships, which is also unacceptable. And you have done it all with a condescending tone and a lack of respect.”

Leftists Being Leftists: Far Left City Councilor of Youth, Children, and Family Forced to Step Down in Spain After He Was Caught Eating His Own Sh*t on Video

You just knew this was coming…

Far left councilor Daniel Gómez del Barrio stepped down from the Illescas city council after he posted photos and video of himself eating his own sh*t.

Daniel Gómez del Barrio is a member of the PSOE, the country’s main leftist party in Spain, whose leader is currently the Prime Minister.

Daniel was the councilor of Youth, Children, and Family on the city council.

The video of Daniel Gomez del Barrio eating sh*t was leaked online. The mayor fired him In April.

Daniel wanted described his desire to be a whore and used as a urinal.

The Publica reported:

A report from French news source FDS claimed that the politician was offering himself up for sexual use, and described himself as wanting to be “exposed, humiliated, degraded.” He also described his desire to “eat c*cks, be a whore, and be used as a urinal,” with El Diairo also claiming he referred to himself as a “sexual slave.”

According to ABC Spain, Gómez reported the leaking of the photographs and videos to the police, who began investigating the matter. He attended the February council meeting “with total normality,” where the leaks were only a “residual issue,” a source told ABC Spain. However, on March 22, more photographs of the councillor began to spread around the town during the traditional Palm Sunday celebrations, and “nothing else was talked about” by the residents of the small community.

Earlier this week a leftist Martin Neumaier, a candidate from the Free Democratic Party (FDP), a liberal party in Germany, was caught on video licking public urinals on video and singing the Nazi-era anthem while using an anal dildo.

Disgraced Rapper Lizzo Credits Anti-Israel Activists For Curing Her ‘Deep, Dark Depression’

By: Ben Kew

The rapper Lizzo has credited anti-Israel activists for helping her recover from a recent bout of depression.

In a post on her Instagram page, Lizzo said that the pro-Palestinian protests across the U.S. and around the world have “activated” her desire to live.

She explained:

I just want to take a second and give a personal thank you to all of the activists who have been working tirelessly to help the liberation and the freedom of the people who have been genocided (sic) all over the world, specifically Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo. On a personal note, you have activated me. I was in a deep dark depression. I had some mental health crises and episodes over the last nine months. And I was not present.

I also want to take this moment and thank all of the anti-genocide, anti-war protests that have been happening at collage campuses. What these students have done and are doing is so deeply important. I can’t even express it in one video.

A post shared by Lizzo (@lizzobeeating)

The singer, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, is currently facing a lawsuit from three former employees who accused her of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment and racial and religious discrimination.

Despite her artistic success, Lizzo is the subject of widespread mockery for her unappealing appearance, which she often excaerbates by wearing suggestive and highly revealing clothing. She is also an ardent supporter of Joe Biden and recently attended a fundraiser for his presidential campaign.

Last month, she abruptly announced that she was quitting the music industry before quickly backtracking on her pledge.

“When I say ‘I quit’, I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention,” she said in a video at the time. “What I’m not gonna quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people, because I know I’m not alone. In no way shape or form am I the only person who is experiencing that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive.”

LAUGHABLE: MSNBC’s Morning Joe Accuses New York Times Polling of Pro-Trump Bias (VIDEO)

A recent New York Times poll was full of good news for Donald Trump and MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ host Joe Scarborough just can’t deal.

This week, he actually accused the New York Times polling of pro-Trump bias. Does anyone believe that’s true?

Scarborough’s rant was just theater. He knows Joe Biden watches the show, so he is making arguments that he knows Biden wants to hear.

NewsBusters provides a transcript:

HEILEMANN: I’m not saying it’s not close. I’m not going to carry water for the New York Times or the methodology of this poll. I would keep going back to the thing that I try to say every time we talk about these things. Which is, that I’m really interested in — and I know you know this. What are the polls showing us directionally about the race?

SCARBOROUGH: I understand. There’s a difference, though, with the New York Times/ Siena poll, and you know this. It’s given disproportionate impact. This year, this cycle, it is skewed wildly in Donald Trump’s direction. [Heilemann tries to speak.]

Hold on. And the New York Times feasts on it with clickbait stories, like, a dozen at a time.

HEILEMANN: And I, what I’m trying to focus on is what I think people should pay attention to [tries to continue]–

SCARBOROUGH: — [Interrupting] But what I’m trying to focus on is, the New York Times right now is actively shaping the election cycles, where this poll comes out on a Sunday, and on Monday, people go, oh — and I heard it! And I’m sitting there going, don’t be so stupid.

That’s why we’re doing this. [Heilemann tries to respond. Scarborough shouts.]

Watch the video:

REPORT: White House Aides Worried About Biden’s ‘Psychological Torment’ Over Hunter Trial

The liberal outlet Politico is reporting that Biden aides are worried about the president suffering ‘psychological torment’ over his son Hunter’s trial.

The media is truly beyond parody.

Can you imagine any media outlet reporting something like this about the Trump family and his trials? It would never happen.

From Politico:

Biden aides worry about psychological torment as Hunter heads for trial

President Joe Biden will soon have to watch and wait as 12 jurors in his home state decide whether his son is guilty of felony gun charges — a case brought by his own Justice Department.

For the White House, the scenario of Hunter Biden’s first criminal trial, all but assured to start June 3, is an unprecedented event in American political history that they hoped never to face.

While aides insist that the White House will have no involvement in the case, brought by special counsel David Weiss, some fear it could dramatically impact the president himself, more psychologically than politically.

Three advisers granted anonymity to speak about private deliberations said they, and members of the First Family, are worried about the weight Hunter Biden’s trial will place on the president at an already difficult time for him politically. Biden has expressed fears to them about the possibility that his son will serve time in prison.

“He worries about Hunter every single day, from the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep,” said one of the three advisers. “That will only pick up during a trial.”

Soros-Backed DA in Oakland, California to Face Recall Vote in November

Pamela Price, the district attorney in Oakland, California who was elected with backing from George Soros, is going to face a recall vote in November.

Crime has gotten so out of control in Oakland that multiple businesses such as In and Out Burger have fled the city in recent months.

Price is a supporter of the ‘social justice’ approach to law enforcement that has unleashed massive crime problems in multiple American cities.

The Oaklandside reports:

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price will face recall election in November

Oakland voters, mark your calendars. The question of whether or not Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price should be allowed to fill out the rest of her term will be decided on Nov. 5, 2024.

The county Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to consolidate the recall with the general election, which will include local, state, and federal races and ballot measures. Supervisors Lena Tam and David Haubert attended part of the meeting but were excused before the vote.

Proponents of the recall wanted the county to hold a special election this summer that would solely feature the recall question. County staff have said this would cost around $15-20 million, factoring in expenses for hundreds of election workers, printing ballots and election materials, postage, and setting up vote centers. In comparison, the cost of adding the recall question to the November general election ballot will be $4 million…

“We need justice for our babies, and actually nothing is going to change if Pamela Price is still in office,” said Brenda Angulo, whose 15-year-old son Erick Portillo was murdered in Hayward last year. “I don’t understand why it’s an issue economically.”

Price is vowing to fight the recall.

From Mercury News:

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price goes on offensive, vows to defeat recall effort

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price went on the offensive Wednesday, vowing to prevail against a well-heeled recall attempt that will be decided on a packed November presidential election ballot…

Backed by more than a dozen supporters holding signs proclaiming “Protect the Win,” Price framed the recall campaign as a bid to “overturn” the results of the 2022 election, during which she became the first Black woman to serve as Alameda County’s top prosecutor.

If the people of Oakland want things to change, they need to vote this woman out of office, and it can be done.

JUST-IN: Explosion Reported at Biden’s Much-Celebrated TSMC Microchip Plant in Phoenix, AZ – Fire Units Respond to Hazardous Materials Call

Joe Biden speaks at a TSMC semiconductor chip factory in Arizona.

An explosion was reported at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company plant in north Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday afternoon, leaving one seriously injured.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biden made an appearance in Arizona in late 2022 before the plant opened to announce a $40 billion investment while visiting the computer chip plant while struggling to read off the teleprompter.

Biden at Phoenix Computer Chip Plant: “Three Nano Chips, Three Nano Chip, Chips That Are Three Nano… Anyway, Nano Nono, I Don’t Know” (VIDEO)

Earlier this year, Biden announced another $8.5 billion investment with Intel for a major CHIPS and Science Act award and gave a rambling incoherent speech to a few rows of people at the Intel Ocotillo Campus in Chandler, Arizona.

This came after DEI – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion – killed the CHIPS Act.

“The Biden administration recently promised it will finally loosen the purse strings on $39 billion of CHIPS Act grants to encourage semiconductor fabrication in the U.S. But less than a week later, Intel announced that it’s putting the brakes on its Columbus factory. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has pushed back production at its second Arizona foundry. The remaining major chipmaker, Samsung, just delayed its first Texas fab.” The Hill reported.

“This is not the way companies typically respond to multi-billion-dollar subsidies. So what explains chipmakers’ apparent ingratitude? In large part, frustration with DEI requirements embedded in the CHIPS Act.” the Hill reported.

The far-left Guardian reported last August,

Posed in front of an American flag and a large banner reading “A Future Made in America Phoenix, AZ,” Joe Biden told a crowd of assembled workers, supporters and media last December: “American manufacturing is back, folks.”

Eight months on, the Phoenix microchip plant – the centerpiece of Biden’s $52.7bn US hi-tech manufacturing agenda – is struggling to get online.

The plant’s owner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the largest chip maker in the world, has pushed back plans to start manufacturing to 2025, blaming a lack of skilled labor. It is trying to fast-track visas for 500 Taiwanese workers. Unions, meanwhile, are accusing TSMC of inventing the skills shortage as an excuse to hire cheaper, foreign labor. Others point to safety issues at the plant.

The Arizona project is the flagship in the president’s efforts to tout the law’s effects and TSMC’s promised $40bn investment in US chip production plant is one of the largest foreign investments in US history and the largest ever in Arizona.

Despite the failure to launch, The Biden Administration celebrated increased funding under the CHIPS Act into TSMC's Arizona plant in a press release last month.

Now, the plant has exploded.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Wednesday morning, a barge also collided with the Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston, Texas.

Disasters in Biden's America are a regular occurrence.

AZ Central reports,

Firefighters from multiple departments responded to a reported hazardous materials call on Wednesday afternoon at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company plant in north Phoenix, according to the Phoenix Fire Department.

Firefighters from the Phoenix, Glendale and Daisy Mountain fire departments were dispatched to TSMC, near Dove Valley and 43rd Avenue, about 2:30 p.m., according to Phoenix fire officials.

The call was made as a result of an explosion at the plant, according to the Phoenix Fire Department.

One adult male, who was reported to be a worker at the site, was taken to a hospital for serious injuries, authorities said.

Woman Who Survived Mao’s Communist China Slams Radical Campus Protests: ‘Red Guards Are in Action Again’ (VIDEO)

Lily Tang Williams is a Republican who is running for congress in New Hampshire. She is also a survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution in communist China.

She sees history repeating itself with the radical campus protests and even compared the protesters to Mao’s Red Guard.

It’s an apt comparison.

FOX News reports:

Survivor of Mao’s political purge getting ‘PTSD’ watching history repeat on college campuses

A survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution says she is experiencing post-traumatic stress witnessing history repeat itself on college campuses as “Marxist hordes” have taken over in anti-American and anti-Israel demonstrations.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Lily Tang Williams, who is currently running as a Republican candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd district, said she fears the country she left is coming back to haunt her again in the United States.

“I sometimes I get nervous, and I feel like I’m having a little bit of PTSD and like I can’t sleep well whenever I see the way they’re chanting, using drums and us[ing] slogans, [are] humiliating people and have a huge amount of young people…chanting ‘Death to America,’ not just ‘Death to Israel.’ I just feel like, oh my goodness the… Red Guards are in action again,” she said.

The Red Guard was a massive student-led, paramilitary social movement in China that was mobilized by Chairman Mao Zedong in 1966.

Some protesters have come right out and said that the campus protests are really about a socialist revolution, so this woman’s concerns are valid.

It is like the Red Guard all over again.

BREAKING:

Fico’s current condition is unknown.

Prime Minister Fico, a populist conservative and Trump-supporter, who immediately ended military aid to Ukraine when he was sworn in as Prime Minister. Fico is against mass immigration and rejected the WHO Global Pandemic Accord that would turn Slovakian control over to a corrupt international body.

Following his shooting today and as he was fighting for his life in a Slovakian hospital, a British Sky News commenter came close to justifying the assassination attempt against PM Robert Fico. Then he compared him to Prime Minister Victor Orban in Hungary.

“It’s not surprising this event took place… He’s become very pro-Russian.”

Unsurprisingly, Sky News has literally justified the assassination attempt on Slovakian PM Robert Fico. Despicable ghouls.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Kim Klacik Wins Republican Nomination for Maryland Congressional Seat and Speaks to The Gateway Pundit (VIDEO)

Maryland GOP Congressional candidate Kim Klacik is back after making headlines in 2020 with an incredible campaign as “the first Black female Republican candidate running for a Maryland Congressional seat, ever.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kim Klacik made quite the scene with her EPIC campaign advertisement, exposing the Democrats’ hypocritical Black Lives Matter scam and the rotting city of Baltimore. She also crushed it at the 2020 Republican National Convention in August.

Tens of millions of you have shared the struggle of black people in Baltimore. You cared about our black lives more than our own leaders.

They have done nothing for us.
Now they can’t hide.
We are the change.

Please support our movement:https://t.co/8yLL5VmMSU pic.twitter.com/1sGyqXHpzt

After tragically losing the 2020 General Election to Democrat Kweisi Mfume, she’s back on the general election ticket in 2024. This year, after redistricting, Kim Klacik is better positioned to win and help President Trump pass through his MAGA agenda. “These lines were drawn when a Republican held the seat, so we’re feeling very optimistic about it,” said Klacik.

Additionally, Klacik was endorsed by former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday. Ramaswamy has built a large fan base among Republican and Independent voters while staunchly backing Trump even when running against him.

Thank you, @VivekGRamaswamy pic.twitter.com/gcO1euVqbZ

— Kimberly Klacik (@kimKBaltimore) May 14, 2024

In the Tuesday primary, Klacik was declared the winner with a staggering 64% of the vote. It wasn’t even close.

Only an hour after the polls closed, she was predicted winner and gave a victory speech:

See all Maryland primary results here.

Klacik spoke to The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson on Tuesday night, just after polls closed in Maryland.

We discussed Joe Biden’s Southern Border Crisis and what she predicts will happen in Maryland following President Trump’s MASSIVE rally of 100,000 supporters just hours away in Wildwood, New Jersey.

The Gateway Pundit recently reported on Trump’s mega rally and his plan to campaign in formerly blue states, which he says will flip for him.

Klacik also commented on New Gen 47 PAC’s venture to swing low-propensity young and minority voters to the Republican ticket by hosting concerts with A-list musicians and celebrities.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, New Gen 47 PAC, founded by LJ Fino, President of First Class Records, and PR consultant Alex Fahmy, is holding a rap concert with rap star Waka Flocka Flame next month in Miami. Get tickets HERE:

Watch the full interview below:

Conradson: You broke onto the scene in 2020 with a bombshell video, you know, exposing the ruin of Baltimore nowadays. What's different about this year running for Congress?

Klacik: Well look, unfortunately, we have the same problems. And I think that's why we're back at it again. I mean, here we are four years later, and we're dealing with the same issues, whether it's crime and violence, a southern border that's not secured, we've got a problem with jobs, opportunities, the economy, gas prices are still high. And so, it's unfortunate that we're dealing with the same issues. And so we thought, You know what, we're gonna give it another go. As many people know, we had redistricting here in Maryland. I'm in the second congressional district. These lines were drawn when a Republican held the seat, so we're feeling very optimistic about it, and we definitely need a lot of people’s support going forward. But this is a time to send another Republican down to Capitol Hill within the Maryland delegation, and we're excited.

Conradson: I just came back from New Jersey where there were 100,000 people at Wildwood Beach for President Trump. How will that resonate to the region as a whole? Do you expect Maryland to go more red, possibly for President Trump, and how will that affect your race?

Klacik: I think so. I think, you know, a lot of people talked about the suburban women in 2020. But, if you listen to suburban women today, a lot of people are saying, ‘You know what, despite how I feel about his personality, I really want his policies.’ And there are a lot of women that are moms that are looking at what's going on in the schools, and parental rights is something that's very important, keeping female sports female; this is something that President Trump talks about often. And I think this is when we're gonna get a lot of suburban women supporting the Republican Party, supporting President Trump. As you said, you were in New Jersey, and I have to say, in New Jersey, you're gonna see some seats flip, and I think the governorship is going to flip. I think they're going to make it happen, and I think here in the state of Maryland we're going to see something similar.

Conradson: Another thing I notice, of course, soaring crime here in Baltimore, but I'm coming from Arizona. I wouldn't have expected to see every single day, day after day, I'm seeing more and more illegal immigrants here in Baltimore, out there in DC, They're flying them all over the country. What are you going to do in Congress to stop not only the soaring crime, but the illegal immigration crisis and flying illegals thousands of miles across the country?

Klacik: Yeah, it's time that we really do something about it. I mean, obviously, we have to secure the southern border. There are many people talking today saying, ‘look, we don't even feel like we have a border at this point because the way that it's open,’ and a lot of people are not gonna want to hear this, but it's going to be time for some deportations. We have a situation, a crisis, a humanitarian crisis that we cannot sustain at all, and it is taking a toll on our resources, our hospitals, our schools. And you know what? I want to put Americans first that's what it's about. It's about dealing with what's going on at home, and right now, I see us giving a ton of money to illegal immigrants, yet we're ignoring our children and some of these schools, we're ignoring our veterans, we're ignoring those that really have been here and has served our country, and we just can't do that anymore.

Conradson: One other thing I want to ask you about: my good friends, Alex Fahmy and LJ Fino, they have this New Gen 47 PAC. They're going to be holding pretty incredible events, historic events, you know, they have a rap concert coming up in June with Waka Flocka Flame in Miami. What do you think an event like that, a concert with Waka Flocka or other A-list famous rappers would have, what kind of impact do you think that would have on Baltimore City or Baltimore County?

Klacik: This is what we need. It's like we're winning the war when it comes to policies, but we’re also winning the culture war. People are tired of what they're seeing on a day-to-day basis. And just so people understand, even in black communities, we're seeing the crime and violence soar just like everywhere else. We don't want criminals in our neighborhood. We don't want to defund the police. We don't want to vilify our police. We love to back the blue, and so we gotta get back to common sense core values and our morals, and I think everybody can agree on that.

Office of Inspector General Finds FBI Special Agent Directed Subordinate to Give His Wife a Cash Bonus – DOJ Declines Prosecution

According to an investigation conducted by the Office of Inspector General, an FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) illegally directed a subordinate to give his spouse a cash award.

When the unidentified agent got caught for ethical violations pertaining to a financial conflict of interest, they retired and refused to cooperate with the Office of Inspector General.

The Department of Justice declined to prosecute the SAC.

“The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated an investigation after receiving information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Inspection Division, alleging that a then FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) had assigned the SAC’s spouse, who worked within the SAC’s chain of command, to serve on a committee and then arranged for the committee members, including the spouse, to receive cash awards in recognition of such service,” the Office of Inspector General wrote in an investigative summary.

The SAC directed a subordinate to give his spouse a cash bonus.

“The OIG investigation substantiated the allegation that the SAC had an imputed financial interest in the spouse’s receipt of the cash award, and that the SAC violated federal ethics regulations and related FBI policies when the SAC—without seeking prior authorization to participate in the matter—orchestrated the spouse’s receipt of the award by directing a subordinate to complete the paperwork necessary for the spouse to receive the award,” the OIG wrote.

The SAC retired and refused to cooperate with the Office of Inspector General.

“The SAC retired from the FBI prior to being contacted by the OIG for an interview. When later contacted by the OIG for a voluntary interview, the SAC declined to be interviewed. The OIG has the authority to compel testimony from current DOJ employees upon informing them that their statements will not be used to incriminate them in a criminal proceeding. The OIG does not have the authority to compel or subpoena testimony from former DOJ employees, including those who retire or resign during an OIG investigation.” the OIG wrote.

The Justice Department declined to prosecute the SAC and they will retire with a pension for life.

UNDER PRESSURE: With Defenses Collapsing and His Constitutional Mandate About to End, Ukraine’s Zelensky Cancels All Foreign Trips

With the overwhelming successes that the Russian Federation forces are enjoying in the North near Kharkov, and the relentless push in the eastern Donetsk Oblast, the situation of the Ukrainian defenders is as bad as it’s ever been in this war.

In this context of near breakdown in the Ukrainian lines in several points, President Volodymyr Zelensky decided to postpone all his foreign trips.

There is also the fact that his Constitutional presidential mandate expires on May 20th, meaning that, after cancelling elections, he will be an illegitimate president, kept in place by force.

The battlefield situation continues to deteriorate with Kiev having to acknowledge that Russian troops have entered the city of Volchansk in Kharkov region.

The imminent capture of this locality would be Russia’s most significant conquest in this fast-paced new offensive, and it is forcing Ukrainian Commander in Chief Oleksandr Syrsky to send whatever reinforcements he can find to the region to prevent a general breakdown.

Reuters reported:

“The assault keeps Ukraine’s forces, also holding the 1,000 km (600 mile) front line in east and south, off balance ahead of what Zelensky has said could be a big Russian offensive in the coming weeks. Moscow has been slowly making ground in the east for months.

‘The situation is extremely difficult. The enemy is taking positions on the streets of the town of Volchansk’, Oleksiy Kharkovskyi, Volchansk’s patrol police chief, said on Facebook.

Dmytro Lazutkin, a spokesman for the defense ministry, said ‘some’ Russian infantry groups had entered the town. Ukrainian troops later managed to ‘partially’ push them back, the general staff said, but ‘defensive actions’ raged in the north and northwestern outskirts.”

Russian forces captured the settlements of Glubokoye and Lukyantsy in Kharkov region. This comes as the single accomplishment of the Ukrainian Summer offensive, Rabotino in the Zaporozhye region, has also been recaptured by Moscow.

Kharkov city is now within artillery range.

Ukraine pulled back to new positions in the Volchansk area due to ‘a consequence of enemy fire and storming action’.

“Ukraine is trying to snuff out the assault in the Kharkov region, while holding the line against Moscow’s main thrust in the eastern Donbas region and guarding against potential new border incursions.

The top military spy has warned that Russia had small groups of forces located to the north of Kharkov region along its border with the Sumy region.”

Ukraine’s shortage of troops has left them outmaneuvered by the enemy. As reinforcements are sent north, there is a risk of breakthrough in areas in the East or South.

While Kyiv says the Russian assault into the northeast does not present an imminent threat to Ukraine’s second largest city of Kharkov, home to 1.3 million people, it is a fact that the supply lines for the city are now under fire Russian control.

Politico reported:

“’Volodymyr Zelensky has instructed that all international events scheduled for the coming days be postponed and new dates coordinated. We are grateful to partners for their understanding’, said Zelensky’s press secretary Sergii Nykyforov in a statement on social media.

[…] Ukraine’s commanders are ‘making all decisions based on comprehensive information. Additional forces are being deployed, reserves are available’, according to Nykyforov.

Spain and Portugal were on the list of countries Zelensky was set to visit, according to media reports.”

WATCH: Karine Jean-Pierre Stutters Through Word Salad After Reporter Calls Joe Biden Out For Falsely Claiming Inflation was 9% When He Took Office

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blamed Trump and the Covid pandemic when a reporter asked why Joe Biden lied about inflation being 9% when he took office in January 2021.

Biden has falsely claimed that inflation was 9% when he took office. It was 1.4% in January 2021.

Biden’s lie was so egregious that the Washington Post gave him four Pinocchio’s.

Joe Biden has now twice in one week claimed that inflation was at 9% when he took office.

It's a particularly hilarious lie because inflation was 1.4% when he took office and hit a HIGH OF 9.1% in June 2022.

That was the largest increase over 12 months since 1981. pic.twitter.com/TnVMVduDQw

— Greg Price (@greg_price11) May 14, 2024

Fox News Business reporter Ed Lawrence asked Karine Jean-Pierre why Joe Biden keeps lying about inflation.

KJP absurdly claimed the inflation crisis is a result of the Covid pandemic and supply chain issues.

“I wanna ask you about how the President talks about inflation. So, two times over the past two weeks, the President said inflation was nine percent when he came into office. Is the President misleading Americans on that? Or does it — just not realize that inflation was 1.4 percent when he came into office?”

Karine Jean-Pierre stuttered through a word salad.

“So, you know — and — and thank you for the question, because I know that this — we got a lot of incoming on this yesterday and look, I — what the President was — the point that he was making — uh — is that the factors that caused inflation was in place when he walked in — into the administration — when he took office. Let’s — as you know, the pandemic caused inflation around the world to be — uh — uh — by disrupting our economy and breaking our supply chains — as you know, we had to act quickly on dealing with the supply chain. He put together a task force. You saw the President do that,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Ed Lawrence wasn’t having it and pushed back.

“But COVID started in March of 2020. So those factors were in place for about a year before the President took office,” he said.

Biden’s tax-and-spend policies led to the inflation crisis, but KJP blamed everyone and everything else.

“Look, I mean — look, the pandemic was happening, right? That caused inflation. That was happening. Supply chain was — was — was breaking our economy. That was happening and it wasn’t just us. It wasn’t just us. It was globally,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Democrats Boxed Out RFK Jr. From the Presidential Debates – And There Is Only ONE REASON Why! …Update: RFK Jr. Announces He Has Qualified for the Debate!

This Twitter screen shot shows Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leaving a stage and receiving a standing ovation.

Earlier today the Joe Biden regime finally agreed to debate President Donald Trump. This was a great surprise to the American public after seeing Joe Biden’s lose his battle with dementia these past six years.

The first official presidential debate was held in 1960 between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. This year was looking to be the first time in 64 years that there would not be a presidential debate as the Biden regime balked at the idea knowing that Joe has the worst foreign policy record in history, the worst domestic policy record in 100 years, and is not mentally capable of a public debate due to his diminishing mental capacity.

So today’s news was a surprise. Of course, the Democrats listed several stipulations in order to proceed with a debate.

Axios reported:

President Biden is opting out of the traditional presidential debates structure, challenging former President Trump to a one-on-one contest as soon as next month.

Why it matters: The nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates traditionally hosts three presidential debates in September and October. Biden’s offer would cut the commission out of the process.

Between the lines: The Biden campaign views the current debates as “structured like an entertainment spectacle” that doesn’t enforce its own rules, per a letter to the commission released Wednesday.

  • The campaign instead wants to work directly with broadcast networks that host both GOP and Democratic primary debates.
  • The letter proposes just the two candidates and a moderator, with no audience.
  • It also suggests microphones that cut off automatically at time limits and when it’s not a candidate’s turn to speak.

The CNN debate moderators were named after President Trump and Joe Biden agreed to a debate.

Trump-haters and fake news pushers Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were selected by Democrats and lackeys at CNN to host the debates.

It’s now confirmed that President Trump will be debating Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, and Joe Biden in the first debate.

— Catturd ™ (@catturd2) May 15, 2024

Of course, Democrats only agreed to the debates after the stacked the events with far left moderators and set the rules. And Democrats refused to offer Democrat-Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy on the stage.

There is only one reason for this – Kennedy would take votes from Joe Biden. That’s it. That is the only reason they would not allow him on the stage.

This is not the Democrat Party’s first assault on RFK Jr. The Democrats previously made the rules so impossible for a challenger that he was forced to run as an Independent candidate.

Even worse, the Biden regime REFUSES to grant Robert Kennedy, Jr. Secret Service security for his campaign knowing that his FATHER and UNCLE were both assassinated when he was a child.

Robert F. Kennedy is currently averaging 10.8% of the vote in the Real Clear Politics averages.

But on Wednesday night Robert F. Kennedy announced that he has met the requirements and that he will be joining Trump and Biden at the debate.

I’m happy to report that I will meet the criteria to participate in the @CNN debate before the June 20 deadline. I look forward to holding Presidents Biden and Trump accountable for their records in Atlanta on June 27 to give Americans the debate they deserve. #KennedyShanahan24

Read: PARIS CHAOS: Marxist Demonstrators Clash With Riot Police in Violent International Workers’ Day Protests (VIDEOS)

‘I love Paris in the Summer/When it sizzles’ no more.

New York Post reported:

“’Anti-sex’ beds have arrived in Paris ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games, with their materials and small size allegedly aimed at deterring athletes from getting kinky during the competition.

The beds’ twin size means there’s no room for the competitors to sidle up together.”

The beds were produced by the same company who made the products for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

Two or more athletes on top of it would fall prey to the recyclable cardboard frames, designed to collapse under such a weight.

Stories about wild sex among athletes have been frequent.

“Table tennis player Matthew Syed previously told the Times of London that he had a debaucherous time at the 1992 games in Barcelona, Spain, saying: ‘I got laid more often in those two and a half weeks than in the rest of my life’.

At the 2012 games in London, one anonymous athlete admitted to having a foursome with a male teammate and two women at the Olympic Village, according to the Mirror.”

It does not take a specialist to guess this will not deter young people who are willing and able.

“A US two-time gold medalist as saying: ‘I’ve seen people having sex right out in the open. On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty’.”

DISCLAIMER: This article includes descriptions of disgusting and abhorrent behavior that some readers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.

Martin Neumaier, a candidate from the Free Democratic Party (FDP), a liberal party in Germany, has been caught in a series of deeply disturbing and sexually explicit acts broadcasted online.

Multiple pornographic videos featuring Neumaier were taken down from social media X after they breached the site’s Terms of Service.

The Publica reported that Neumaier is seen in one video singing the forbidden first verse of the Nazi-era German national anthem while using an anal dildo.

This appalling behavior is only the tip of the iceberg concerning Neumaier’s online activities.

Another video shows him inserting a feces-covered dildo into himself before smearing it on a Quran

The Publica reported: “The politician and personal trainer is also seen expressing his wishes to “rape to death” one of the 12 wives of the Prophet Mohammed, which may warrant criminal charges for inciting hatred and religious defamation under Germany’s criminal code.”

“Other now-deleted videos of the disturbed politician show him with feces under his nose, roleplaying as the former chancellor of the German Reich, Adolf Hitler. “I have a Hitler beard made of shit,” exclaims Neumaier, revealing his home address to his viewers,” the news outlet added.

Adding to the litany of repugnant acts, another video shows Neumaier in a public restroom licking a urinal and toilet seat, followed by kissing a toilet brush as a form of “punishment.”

JUST IN: Bag of Cocaine Discovered Inside U.S. Capitol Police Headquarters

In a press release, the United States Capitol Police (USCP) reported a bag of cocaine was discovered inside its headquarters.

The USCP reported a small bag of a powdery white substance, which later tested positive for cocaine, was discovered in the second-floor hallway of USCP’s headquarters in an area that is used to store furniture and supplies.

An officer discovered the baggie at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday and reported his findings to a supervisor.

The area where the bag was located usually experiences heavy traffic from contractors and USCP employees.

The USCP Investigations unit has launched an investigation and will soon commence a DNA test on the baggie.

Per USCP:

The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is investigating a roughly one-inch by one-inch zip lock bag with a small amount of a white powdery substance, which field tested positive for cocaine.

The small bag was found on the floor of a hallway inside USCP headquarters. The hallway is on the second floor in an area that has been a staging spot for furniture and supplies. The area is heavily trafficked by various contractors and employees. It is also near offices such as Prisoner Processing, Crime Scene, Intel and Reports Processing.

The baggie was found in the middle of the floor just before 1:00 p.m. by an officer, who immediately reported it to a supervisor. The residue was field tested and came back positive for cocaine.

The USCP Investigations Division has opened an investigation, which will include further testing, including DNA testing of the baggie. We will provide more information when it becomes available.

GOP Missouri Secretary of State candidate Valentina Gomez came under fire recently and reportedly sparked outrage over her awesome social media content after she recently posted a video telling Americans, “Don’t be weak and gay.”

Video at the bottom of this page. Read more about Gomez below:

Gomez, a daughter of legal immigrants, describes herself on her campaign webpage as “a real estate investor, financier, strategist, former NCAA Division I swimmer, relentless achiever, and a fierce advocate for the principles values we hold dear as Americans battling for a better future.”

At the top of her agenda is election integrity:

Protecting Democracy – Abolishing Voting Machines – Activating the National Guard to Secure Elections

  • Valentina will fortify our democracy by abolishing voting machines, require Voter ID, and deploy the national guard guaranteeing impartiality in the election process.

  • Under Valentina’s leadership Missouri will return to a secure, transparent paper-based system, addressing concerns of cyber threats, and manipulation.

  • Deploying the National Guard to oversee Missouri’s voting polls is a pragmatic step, ensuring impartiality, deterring interference, and bolstering public confidence in the electoral process.

In addition to being a great candidate, she also posts epic and hilarious social media content, advocating for conservative principles.

In February, Gomez posted a viral video on X, vowing to “BURN all books that are grooming, indoctrinating, and sexualizing our children” and declaring “MAGA. America First.”

The post has been viewed over 4.3 million times on X:

On Monday, Gomez posted another clip of herself running through a gay district neighborhood in St. Louis and saying, “In America, you can do anything you want, so don’t be weak and gay. Stay f*cking hard,” which apparently triggered a lot of Democrats. It’s pretty funny if you have a sense of humor unlike the libs…

Per Newsweek,

Gomez’s post sparked fury on social media, with many responding by subverting the phrase to “be strong and gay.”

A social media user wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Yes, be strong and gay. And when weak people like Ms. Gomez try to make you feel weak, I’ll stand strong and straight with you instead of being weak and straight and pathetic like these bigoted losers who wish they were as hot as you.”

One called the message hateful, while another ridiculed Gomez for relaying her message while jogging in “hot pants and a bulletproof vest. Peak #Idiocracy achievement unlocked.”

Others responded sardonically, saying the phrase was accidentally humorous.

“You want to be gay? Fine be gay. Just don’t do it around children,” Gomez’s campaign director reportedly told NBC.

RIGGED ELECTION? Harris County Judge Orders New Election for 180th District Court Seat After Controversial 449-Vote Loss — Nearly 1,500 Votes Cast Illegally

Democrat DaSean Jones (L); Republican Tami Pierce (R)/ Facebook

In a landmark decision, a Bexar County visiting judge has ordered a new election for the 180th District Court seat in Harris County, Texas. This ruling comes after Republican candidate Tami Pierce narrowly lost to Democrat DaSean Jones by a mere 449 votes in the November 2022 election.

DaSean Jones, who was sworn in as a Harris County criminal district court judge 15 months ago and has since presided over hundreds of cases, now faces uncertainty about his 2022 election victory.

Republican Tami Pierce continues to contest the election results in court, asserting that “improper or illegal votes were counted” and that the election was “riddled with errors.”

The legal scrutiny of the 180th District Court race has revealed troubling discrepancies. The court found that 1,430 illegal votes were cast, making it impossible to ascertain the true winner of the election. Furthermore, an additional 321 votes were incorrectly tallied due to an extended voting hour, a mishap attributed to an official error by the Harris County Elections Administration Office.

The court also awarded Pierce $65,265 for attorney fees and $752 for costs associated with defending against what was deemed a frivolous motion to dismiss her challenge, filed by Jones in early 2023.

The Texan reported:

Pierce was one of 21 Republicans who filed legal election contests, but her case was delayed after Jones’ attorney Oliver Brown filed an anti-Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) motion to dismiss.

While anti-SLAPP motions are typically used in free speech cases, Jones argued that the election contest infringed on his constitutional right to participate in government. In February 2023, visiting Judge David Peeples denied the motion, calling it “frivolous and solely intended to delay.”

Jones’ attorney “Downtown” Oliver Brown then filed an appeal with the Texas 1st Court of Appeals. A three-judge panel did not take up his appeal in November 2023 and earlier this year issued an opinion agreeing that the motion was frivolous. Administrative issues further delayed the trial until last month when Peeples heard testimony on April 1 and 2, 2024.

Of the 21 who originally filed election contests, four dropped their claims after discovery. Peeples granted summary judgment dismissing the claims of 15 others.

“Voluminous, detailed evidence compiled by witness Steve Carlin and dozens of other volunteers revealed many problems with the Harris County’s troubled November 2022 election,” said Pierce’s attorney, Paul Simpson.

“The court also ordered that opponent DaSean Jones owes Ms. Pierce over $65,000 in attorney’s fees due to his frivolous actions that have so long delayed this case. We hope judge Jones will not further delay justice by appealing but, instead, face Harris County voters in a new election when ordered by the court,” he added.

An appeal is likely to be filed by Jones’ attorney.

CNN Debate Moderators Named for Trump-Biden Matchup

President Trump confronts Joe Biden at presidential debate about family influencing peddling scandals.

The CNN debate moderators were named after President Trump and Joe Biden agreed to a debate.

Joe Biden and President Trump on Wednesday accepted an invitation from CNN for a debate on June 27 without a live audience.

The CNN debate will take place in Atlanta, Georgia. Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate CNN’s June debate.

Trump also accepted ABC News’ invitation to debate Biden on September 10.

This is months after President Trump has repeatedly challenged Joe Biden to a debate. Joe Biden is such a coward that he has avoided committing to a debate until he was practically forced to because of pressure.

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE! pic.twitter.com/uIpMYI6qjb

— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) April 11, 2024

However, Biden will only debate Trump if there is no audience, Trump’s mic is muted while he’s speaking, and if left-wing networks/moderators are in charge of the matchup.

President Trump challenged Joe Biden to a third debate hosted by Fox News and moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.

Biden snubbed the invite to a third debate.

“President Biden made his terms clear for two one-on-one debates, and Donald Trump accepted those terms,” Biden Campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement. “No more games. No more chaos, no more debate about debates.”

Unfit for Command: Dementia Joe Biden Trips and Almost Falls at DC Event Honoring Fallen Officers (VIDEO)

Credit: @RNCResearch

Joe Biden came close to suffering another embarrassing fall while attending the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service on Wednesday in Washington, DC.

This event honors all of the fallen officers who laid down their lives for America. Biden, of course, makes a regular habit of disrespecting those in uniform and falsely portraying himself as a Gold Star Dad.

As the elderly White House occupantslowly walks up to the stage to spread his usual lies, he catches his foot on a step and trips. Fortunately for Biden, he somehow regains his balance and manages to make it to the podium without further incident.

RNC Research, billed as Biden’s least favorite social media account, caught footage of the so-called “president’s” near fall.

Biden’s age and fitness are his top vulnerabilities with voters as he prepares for his rematch against President Donald Trump this November.

The embarrassing scene also comes just a few hours after Biden challenged Donald Trump to two separate debates, which the 45th President immediately accepted. CNN will host the first one on June 27 while ABC will welcome the two candidates on September 10.

Trump has accepted a third debate hosted by Fox News on October 2nd. Biden has yet to respond at the time of this writing.

As Gateway Pundit readers know, Biden has suffered balance issues since assuming power. Arguably the two most infamous incidents were when he collapsed several times going up the Air Force One stairs back in August 2021 and when he fell flat on his face in June 2023 while attending a graduation ceremony for the U.S. Air Force Academy in El Paso County, Colorado.

He cannot even manage to stay on his bike without having an accident!

At this point, it is fair to wonder whether Biden can make it to the debate stage without stumbling to the ground. Such an incident could end the election on the spot.

Conflict of Interest? Rep. Hageman Blasts Democrat Dan Goldman After Prepping Michael Cohen for His Testimony While Paying Over $150K to Judge Merchan’s Daughter’s Firm (VIDEO)

Credit: House Committee on the Judiciary

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) launched a vehement critique against Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), highlighting what she referred to as a glaring conflict of interest involving his interactions with Michael Cohen and financial ties to the daughter of the judge presiding over the Trump trial.

The subcommittee convened on Wednesday to delve into allegations of lawfare tactics being employed to manipulate legal systems against political adversaries, including the witch hunt against former President Trump.

During the hearing, Rep. Hageman did not mince words: “It seems like there might be a dog in this hunt on the other side. What you need to understand is that Mr. Goldman, the novice representative from New York, actually does have a personal stake in this case. He has been involved with the Bragg case, helping to prepare Mr. Cohen for his testimony. So, he is quite closely aligned with an admitted and convicted liar and perjurer.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday that Rep. Goldman, a loyal supporter of Joe Biden, had several preparatory meetings with Cohen before his testimony in the sham Biden/Bragg trial.

In a striking admission on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Rep. Goldman disclosed his extensive prep work with Cohen: “I have deposed Michael Cohen. I have met with him a number of times to prepare him,” he said.

“[Michael Cohen] is an admitted perjurer. He is an admitted liar. He has testified inconsistently on the stand, so he’s either lying one time or the other, and he will be really skewered on cross-examination for,” Goldman added.

Cohen, a convicted perjurer, has been at the center of legal controversies involving Trump, including allegations of hush money payments during the 2016 campaign. Despite recognizing Cohen’s checkered credibility, Goldman has continued his association with him, leading to suspicions that he may be attempting to manipulate Cohen’s narrative against Trump.

Rep. Hageman further highlighted the financial ties between Goldman and the judge’s daughter’s firm, questioning the impartiality required in such sensitive proceedings. “He’s also paid the Judge Merchan’s daughter’s firm over $150,000 for her services. So I think we’ve got quite a conflict of interest from Mr. Dan Goldman,” Hageman said.

Laura Loomer pointed out that “Democrat NY Congressman who helped prepare Michael Cohen for his anti-Trump testimony is a client of Judge Merchan’s daughter’s Democrat political consulting company Authentic Campaigns.”

Spectrum News reported, “Loren Merchan is president of Authentic Campaigns, which has collected at least $70 million in payments from Democratic candidates and causes since she helped found the company in 2018, records show.”

Loomer added, “Rep. Dan Goldman is a client of Loren Merchan’s Democrat consulting firm, Authentic Campaigns. Why is a member of Congress meeting with a felon who committed perjury? This is a MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST, and Judge Merchan needs to immediately RECUSE HIMSELF from overseeing the Trump trial!”

However, Rep. Hageman didn’t stop there. The representative also blasted so-called Rep. Stacey Plaskett, a representative of the U.S. Virgin Islands in Congress, who worked for Epstein’s tax and political fixer.

“And just one other thing to keep in mind when considering the hostility from the folks on the other side of this aisle is that the ranking member of this particular committee was Jeffrey Epstein’s fixer,” Hageman added.

Lee Fang reported:

Democratic Del. Stacey Plaskett, a representative of the U.S. Virgin Islands in Congress, has distanced herself from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming she was completely “unaware” of his donations. However, recent court filings shed light on a much closer relationship between Plaskett and Epstein than previously known.

The unsealed documents outline a decade-long association involving direct solicitations for money, personal meetings, and employment at a law firm deeply connected to Epstein’s shadowy network.

Plaskett not only repeatedly sought financial contributions from Epstein and had multiple face-to-face encounters with him, but she also worked directly for a St. Thomas-based law firm that played a role in cultivating influence for Epstein’s clandestine activities.

In a deposition last month, Plaskett disclosed that she was introduced to Epstein by Erika Kellerhals, an attorney who lobbied on his behalf and represented his business and philanthropic ventures. Kellerhals’s significance goes beyond a casual connection. Before Plaskett’s congressional tenure, she worked at Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin PLLC, the boutique tax firm in the Virgin Islands from 2013 to 2014, a period in which Epstein was a major client.

Plaskett’s involvement with Epstein may extend further back, as she previously served as counsel on the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority (EDA), which granted Epstein $300 million in allegedly improperly obtained tax exemptions over the course of two decades.

“That black hole in the middle of your chest. You feel like you’re being sucked into it. It’s like losing part of your soul,” Biden said. “I know.

I get a feeling that you all know as well who have lost in the past.”

Victim of a Peeping Tom Took Matters Into Her Own Hands and Puts Suspect in a 20-Minute Headlock (VIDEO)

Michelle Chandler, a Lakewood mother of five, courageously confronted and subdued a Peeping Tom who invaded her privacy at a Nordstrom fitting room in Lakewood last Saturday.

Chandler was trying on clothes in the store’s dressing room area, which is used by both men and women when she noticed something amiss—a hand and a cell phone stealthily positioned underneath the partition. The device appeared to be recording her as she changed.

 “As I went to take these pants off, I bent down, looked over and I saw men’s shoes, socks and his phone pointing right at me,” Chandler told FOX31.

Chandler decided to take immediate action rather than waiting for mall security or police, who might arrive too late to catch the perpetrator. She managed to pin the suspect to the ground.

Chandler, alongside store associates who rushed to assist, held the young man down.

At one point, she uses her knee to keep him restrained while a belt is looped around him to prevent any further movement.

“You need to be held accountable,” Chandler said.

The Lakewood Police Department has confirmed their response to the incident. “Sadly this is legit,” said a police spokesperson.

The video of Chandler’s brave confrontation has gone viral.

In the video, Chandler can be heard saying, “This is why men don’t belong in women’s fitting rooms.”

One man responded, “I couldn’t agree more.”

Robert Kiyosaki Predicts Hyperinflation, Depression During Visit to BRICS Nation South Africa

(Note: Thank you for supporting American businesses like the one presenting a sponsored message below and working with them through the links below which benefits Gateway Pundit. We appreciate your support!)

As the BRICS nations move away from the U.S. dollar, renowned investor Robert Kiyosaki predicts that the United States will experience hyperinflation and plunge into a depression. He suggests that gold, Bitcoin, and tangible assets will be the only valuable investments.

Currently in South Africa a country I love. Watching and listening to rumors of what will happen when BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa produce BRICS crypto, possibly backed by gold. If BRICS gold crypto happens trillions in fake money, fiat US dollars…

— Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) May 12, 2024

Kiyosaki shared his views on gold, fiat currencies, and Bitcoin from South Africa on Sunday. He mentioned rumors about the possible creation of a BRICS crypto, potentially backed by gold, which could lead to trillions of dollars returning to the U.S., resulting in hyperinflation.

Currently in South Africa a country I love. Watching and listening to rumors of what will happen when BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa produce BRICS crypto, possibly backed by gold. If BRICS gold crypto happens trillions in fake money, fiat US dollars will come rushing back to home to America causing hyperinflation in America, ultimately destroying US dollar. Best Buy real gold, silver, and Bitcoin now, and protect yourself from the crash of US dollar.

To protect against the U.S. dollar’s collapse, Kiyosaki advised purchasing physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin. In a May 9 post, he predicted not just a recession, but a full-blown depression, stating that he is preparing for such a scenario despite not wishing for it.

DEPRESSION next? I am planning on one. Q: Do I want a DEPRESSION? A: No. Yet it is better to be preparing for the worse rather than live in Disneyland, which most people are doing. For years I could see this crisis coming… which is why I wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad, own my…

Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group, reiterated Kiyosaki’s warning based on reports he’s hearing in the United States.

“If the BRICS threat was the only warning sign, it’s still enough to be concerned,” Rose said. “Unfortunately, we’re seeing other indicators that back Robert’s assertions about precious metals and crypto.”

Before founding Genesis Gold Group, Rose worked in the crypto industry but returned to precious metals for one big reason.

“As much as I appreciate the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, I am always concerned about too much being tied into any asset that isn’t physical,” he said. “Between our Genesis Gold IRA that stores physical precious metals to back our clients’ retirement to having gold and silver stored in their safes through cash purchases, I’m far more comfortable with the tangible assets than I was with crypto.”

“You never have apologized in your written statements, in press reports…for your actions in this report.

HHS Suspends Funding to Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance, Halts All Active Grants, and Proposes Formal Debarment in Connection with COVID-19 Lab Leak Allegation

Dr. Peter Daszak (Credit: EcoHealth Alliance)

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has suspended all federal funding and initiated debarment proceedings against EcoHealth Alliance, the controversial health organization led by Dr. Peter Daszak.

EcoHealth Alliance is also a research organization embroiled in the controversy surrounding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The decision stems from EcoHealth Alliance’s deep connections with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), a facility increasingly at the center of global investigations into the pandemic’s origins.

The suspension is based on an extensive review by the HHS, which cites a recent report from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. This report highlights EcoHealth Alliance’s failure to adequately monitor its research projects, particularly those involving the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

The review pointed out numerous instances where EcoHealth did not adhere to the stipulated biosafety requirements, significantly increasing the risk of unauthorized and potentially dangerous research practices.

One of the critical issues raised was the possible enhancement of virus pathogenicity or transmissibility through gain-of-function research—a practice that has been under a moratorium in the U.S.

The correspondence between EcoHealth and the NIH shows repeated instances where project specifics did not align with the safety protocols mandated by U.S. health authorities.

The recent HHS memorandum cites a pattern of non-compliance by EcoHealth Alliance with federal funding conditions, specifically highlighting the organization’s failure to monitor its research projects adequately.

Peter Daszak’s organization is accused of not only failing to adhere to the terms of their grant but also of not providing essential documentation regarding their research with the Wuhan Institute. This has led to serious doubts about the organization’s capability to handle projects that involve pathogens of pandemic potential.

“The information in the record constitutes adequate evidence to demonstrate that the suspension and proposed debarment of EHA is necessary due to a cause of so serious or compelling a nature that it affects EHA’s present responsibility,” wrote Suspension and Debarment Official H. Katrina Brisbon in an action referral memorandum.

“I find that the information in the record constitutes adequate evidence to demonstrate that the immediate suspension of EHA is necessary to protect the public interest,” it added.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), Chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, applauded HHS’s decision:

“EcoHealth Alliance and Dr. Peter Daszak should never again receive a single penny from the U.S. taxpayer. Only two weeks after the Select Subcommittee released an extensive report detailing EcoHealth’s wrongdoing and recommending the formal debarment of EcoHealth and its president, HHS has begun efforts to cut off all U.S. funding to this corrupt organization. EcoHealth facilitated gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China without proper oversight, willingly violated multiple requirements of its multimillion-dollar National Institutes of Health grant, and apparently made false statements to the NIH. These actions are wholly abhorrent, indefensible, and must be addressed with swift action. EcoHealth’s immediate funding suspension and future debarment is not only a victory for the U.S. taxpayer, but also for American national security and the safety of citizens worldwide.

The Select Subcommittee’s investigation into EcoHealth and the origins of COVID-19 is far from over. Dr. Daszak and his team are still required to produce all outstanding documents and answer the Select Subcommittee’s questions, specifically related to Dr. Daszak’s potential dishonesty under oath. We will hold EcoHealth accountable for any waste, fraud, and abuse and are committed to uncovering any illegal activity, including lying to Congress, NIH, or the Inspector General.”

Today, based on evidence uncovered in @COVIDSelect‘s recent report, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services commenced formal debarment proceedings against EcoHealth Alliance.

It can be recalled that Former EcoHealth VP Dr. Andrew Huff claimed that EcoHealth Alliance and Hunter Biden’s Metabiota were operating Biolabs funded by the CIA.

Dr. Andrew Huff is a former vice president of EcoHealth Alliance, an Army veteran, and the author of “The Truth about Wuhan: How I Uncovered the Biggest Lie in History” from Simon & Schuster.  Dr. Huff reported to Dr. Peter Daszak at EcoHealth, the notorious doctor who sent funding dollars to the Wuhan research labs. (You can purchase Dr. Huff’s book here.)

In September, Dr. Andrew Huff sent a report on the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to the US Senate and Congress. Dr. Huff provided proof that the COVID virus that killed millions and resulted in mass starvation and global economic shutdown was created in a Wuhan laboratory.

In October, Dr. Huff told The Gateway Pundit that the US government was trying to cover up the origins of COVID-19 because Dr. Fauci and the US were funding the Wuhan lab’s gain-of-function research, which was illegal in the US at that time.

Dr. Andrew Huff explained to The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft the connections between EcoHealth Alliance, Dr. Daszak, Metabiota, and the CIA.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Hunter Biden’s Metabiota ties and the company’s laboratories in Ukraine and Africa.

Dr. Andrew Huff told The Gateway Pundit that EcoHealth and Metobiota were funded by the CIA’s venture capital firm In-Q-Tel.

WAYNE ROOT: My Message to President Trump: The Debates are a Trap. Something is Wrong. Drug Test Biden.

By Wayne Allyn Root

President Trump and Team Trump, I hope you’re listening. Something is very wrong.

I smell a trap.

Democrats want Biden to debate? Are you kidding me? He’s clearly a brain-dead puppet with dementia and diapers. The man doesn’t know where he is most of the time…or what decade it is…or what he’s signing. He doesn’t know the names of the national media at his press conferences- he needs charts with their names on their seats.

But suddenly he wants to debate? In June? Trust me, it’s a trap.

There are a myriad of possibilities why Democrats want this….

First of all, President Trump, do not agree to a debate without drug testing Biden. He cannot stay lucid for 90 minutes without state-of-the-art drugs. Don’t debate him unless he agrees to a drug test immediately preceding the debate, with independent doctors.

Second, Biden will absolutely use an electronic listening device in his ear. Biden has no ability to answer questions on the fly. The man reads the words “period” and “end of sentence” on his teleprompter. How can he answer questions on the fly…or debate you? He can’t.

I guarantee you, Biden’s team will be giving him the answers in his ear. Don’t debate him, unless he agrees to no electronic listening devices, and agrees to be searched on the stage.

Third, Democrats cheat. They rig debates just like they rig elections. All the questions will be given to Biden days before the event- just like Democrats already did with Hillary before her debate with Bernie Sanders. Your team must come up with a way to ensure no one sees the questions in advance. Lie detector tests?

Fourth, why would you agree to debate on only biased liberal TV networks like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, or NBC? There are 2 debates. One can be on a liberal network, one can be on a conservative network.

Why would you ever agree to play two “away games?”

Fifth, you need fair moderators. Would the Biden campaign allow me as the moderator of the debates? Why not? I’m an Ivy League grad who has been in the media my entire adult life. I’ve hosted shows on major networks for 35 years. But they’d say “Wayne is biased. He’s an America-First, MAGA, conservative, Trump warrior.”

Yet every media member they pick will be a biased, liberal, Deep State, DC Swamp, Trump-hater with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

If they can have a Trump-hater as moderator, why can’t you demand one moderator at each debate of your choice? Each side gets a draft pick!

Pick me, Mr. President. I volunteer to moderate, representing Real America’s Voice TV.

Lastly, here is the real trap. Why June?

I know of no presidential debate in history ever held in June. Why so early? This is bizarre. Something is rancid. Hinkey. FUBAR.

I know Obama like no one on earth. Obama is running the show, and calling all the shots. He is the real President, for all intents and purposes.

If I’m Obama, I’m replacing Joe Biden at the convention in August. I’m betting Michelle Obama is the choice- which is why the Democrat convention is in Chicago in the first place. They planned this all along. Why Chicago? Why would anyone have a convention in a state you are already guaranteed to win? It makes no sense. You always pick a battleground state that is up for grabs. Hence, Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the GOP convention.

So why Chicago? Illinois is a 100% blue state. But if Joe Biden is stepping down at the convention “for the good of the nation”…and giving a tearful farewell speech…and then introduces Michelle Obama as his replacement…the 100% born and bred Chicago girl…and the city goes wild with delight that a native daughter…”another Obama from Chicago”…is the nominee…the publicity, promotion, excitement and branding is worth billions of dollars…and could propel “celebrity Michelle” to victory.

It’s certainly worth a shot. Because Democrats know with Biden as the nominee, they have no chance to beat Trump. What do they have to lose? Might as well take a shot with Michelle.

And that could also be THE reason for a June debate.

By August, Biden will be long gone. Trump will have wasted his breath attacking a man who is no longer his opponent. All Trump’s arguments against Biden on June 27th are useless by the second debate in September.

But Democrats have now seen a “sneak preview” of Trump’s arguments. They have the advantage. Now Michelle (who has never debated in her life), has seen his debate style, and knows all of Trump’s arguments.

Better yet, Michelle is nothing but a celebrity candidate with no record, and no policies to defend.

And Trump has already agreed to only one more debate in September. Michelle only has to risk a single debate. What a lucky break for her!

Meanwhile “celebrity Michelle” even if she loses the September debate, spends the rest of the campaign smiling, kissing babies and accepting wild applause from record-sized crowds of adoring feminists, children and radical communist agitators, who see her as their Marxist hero and the first female president.

She has none of Biden’s baggage. She has no record to defend, she never mentions any policy details. Her debate loss in September is long forgotten.

This debate in June is the tip-off. Something is very wrong.

But no matter what Mr. President, if you only listen to one piece of my advice…

Refuse to debate, unless Biden agrees to be drug tested.

BOMBSHELL: Michael Cohen’s Attorney Robert Costello Testifies that Cohen Didn’t Believe Stormy Daniels’ Story – Only Paid Her to Save Trump (VIDEO)

Former Attorney for Michael Cohen, Robert Costello, testifies before Congress. 5-14-2024

Attorney Robert Costello testified before the House Weaponization of the Federal Government Subcommittee on Wednesday morning.

Costello, the former attorney for Michael Cohen, told Congressional members that that Michael Cohen told him that he didn’t even believe Stormy Daniels story, and only paid her off to save Trump and his family embarrassment. This is a huge development because it directly conflicts with what Michael Cohen testified earlier this week before the Alvin Bragg lawfare trial of President Donald Trump in New York City.

Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL): He didn’t believe the allegation of the Stormy Daniels story, that he thought the story would be embarrassing for Trump and especially for Melania, so he decided he would take care of it himself.

Attorney Robert Costello: Absolutely. That is contrary to what this guy testified to in court in New York yesterday.

Rep. Greg Steube: Well, what’s not being talked about is your next paragraph, the reason and his motivation for that. So if you could just walk through that for the committee.

Robert Costello: Yeah, obviously, when we started to talk about the NDAs, and this is the very first meeting at the Regency Hotel, when, by the way, Rudy Giuliani was not involved in representing Donald Trump at that time. Cohn testified that it was a conspiracy between Giuliani and Costello as of this date. Totally false. In any event, he also said that he didn’t discuss the Stormy Daniels matter with us, and he certainly did. I specifically asked him because he kept on going back saying, I can’t believe they’re trying to put me in jail for these NDAs.

So I said, Michael, tell me about the NDA. Tell me about Stormy Daniels. What did you do? He said, I got a call from a lawyer representing Stormy Daniels who represented that she was going to testify that Donald Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. Michael Cohen said, I didn’t believe the allegation, but I knew that such an allegation would be terribly embarrassing. He said, It would be embarrassing. He focused on Melania Trump. He said, I didn’t want to embarrass Melania Trump. He said, That’s I decided to take care of this on my own. I went back to that several times.

You did this on your own? “On my own.”

Did Donald Trump have anything to do with it? “No.”

Did you get the money from Donald Trump? “No.”

From any of his organizations? “No.”

From anybody connected to Donald Trump? “No”.

Where did you get the money? “I took out a HELOC loan against my property.”

I said, Why would you do that? He said, “I didn’t want anybody to know where I got this money.”

I didn’t want Melania to know. I didn’t want my own wife to know because she’s in charge, he said, of the Cohen family finances. He said, “If she saw money coming out of my account, she’d ask me 100 questions, and I didn’t want to answer any of them.”

It was clear after talking to him for several days after that, whenever we talked on the phone or in my office, that he kept on bringing up the subject that he felt he was betrayed.

Robert Costello also told the committee, “I read Michael Cohen’s testimony from yesterday’s trial in New York on the way down on the train, and virtually every statement he made about me is another lie.”

It appears the Michael Cohen may have just perjured himself again.

Peru’s Government Officially Classifies Trans, Nonbinary, and Intersex as ‘Mentally Ill’ People

Credit: Getty Images

The Peruvian government has taken a firm stand on the issue of gender identity. A new decree, signed by President Dina Boluarte, has officially classified transsexualism, nonbinary, and intersex conditions as “mental illnesses.”

Supreme Decree No. 009-2024-SA specifies “transsexualism” and “gender identity disorder in children” as mental health conditions, The Telegraph reported.

It further includes “dual-role transvestism, fetishist transvestism, egodystonic sexual orientation, and other gender identity disorders” in the same category. This groundbreaking decision by the Peruvian health ministry is seen by many as a bold affirmation of biological truths and a commitment to providing appropriate mental health care.

In defense of this action, the ministry asserts that this classification will “guarantee full coverage of medical attention for mental health.”

By amending the Essential Health Insurance Plan (PEAS), they aim to align medical treatment with the newly established view that such gender identity conditions fall within the domain of mental health disorders.

This policy has been met with applause from conservative factions who commend the government for taking a stand against what they perceive as a global trend of blurring biological realities.

In the U.S., former State Representative Vernon Jone tweeted earlier this year, “CNN goes dark when cold blooded killers of straight men, women and children are from the LGBTQ community. They actually go to extreme lengths to cover it up.”

“Make My Day, Pal” – Joe Biden Mocks Trump For Being Tied Up in Court in Latest Biden Regime Lawfare Suit (VIDEO)

Joe Biden on Wednesday mocked President Trump for being tied up in court fighting Soviet-style-Democrat lawfare trials and told him to pick the dates for debates.

Of course, the video had to be cut several times because Joe Biden can’t string a sentence together.

Biden also said he’s ready to debate Trump after months of dodging the former president.

“Let’s pic the dates, Donald,” Biden said before mocking Trump for being tied up in court. “I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”

Later Wednesday President Trump and Joe Biden agreed to debate in June and September.

Joe Biden and President Trump on Wednesday accepted an invitation from CNN for a debate on June 27.

Trump also accepted ABC News’ invitation to debate Biden on September 10.

“It is my great honor to accept the CNN Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the United States and a true Threat to Democracy, on June 27th. Likewise, I accept the ABC News Debate against Crooked Joe on September 10th. Thank you, DJT!” Trump said on Truth Social Wednesday morning.

President Trump slammed Biden on Wednesday morning on Truth Social.

“Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST debater I have ever faced – He can’t put two sentences together!” Trump said.

President Trump is tied up in a New York court 4 days a week in a lawfare trial coordinated by Joe Biden.

Alvin Bragg’s top prosecutor Matthew Colangelo was a top DOJ official that Joe Biden sent to New York in 2022 to take down Trump.

Matthew Colangelo previously worked in the Justice Department (Biden appointee) and is a lifelong left-wing activist.

It was also revealed that Colangelo was paid $12,000 by the DNC in 2018.

BREAKING: Barge Collides with Galveston Bridge, Causing Partial Collapse and Oil Spill (VIDEO)

A barge collided with the Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston, Texas on Wednesday morning.

The collision resulted in a partial collapse and oil spill.

No injuries have been reported so far.

It is unclear what caused the collision.

The Pelican Island Bridge is shut down to traffic after it was struck by a barge on Wednesday morning, officials say.

The bridge connects Pelican Island to Galveston, and Pelican Island is currently inaccessible by vehicle.

Galveston officials say there were no reports of injuries in the collision that occurred around 10 a.m.

SkyFOX video from the scene shows that debris from the bridge, including a section of the railroad tracks, fell onto the barge.

Galveston officials say the collision resulted in an oil spill in the bay. The U.S. Coast Guard is responding to determine the extent of the spill and initiate the containment and cleanup process.

MUST SEE VIDEO: “I 100% Believe” He Will Stand With The Establishment – RINO NV Senate Candidate Sam Brown’s Campaign Staffers Expose His Anti-Trump Agenda in Undercover Recording (EXCLUSIVE)

Video recordings provided exclusively to The Gateway Pundit by an undercover journalist show Nevada Senate candidate Sam Brown’s staffers revealing a hidden agenda to appeal to the RINO Establishment if he is sent to Washington, D.C.

RINO Sam Brown and America First Nevada Senate candidate Dr. Jeff Gunter are currently vying for President Trump’s endorsement and a win in the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate in Nevada.

In an undercover interview, unafilliated Nevada political consultant Woodrow Johnston noted that Trump’s endorsement “is so powerful if he endorses someone they’ll win the primary.”

The Gateway Pundit published an interview with Jeff Gunter, a real Trump supporter and Trump’s former ambassador to Iceland, earlier this year. We also reported that Sam Brown is financially backed by Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-backed group that staunchly supported Nikki Haley since last November; long-time Mitch McConnell donor Gregory Ciongoli; Thomas McInerney, a John Bolton megadonor who also backed DeSantis for President; and several other never-Trump donors.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: US Senate Candidate and Trump Ambassador to Iceland Jeff Gunter Takes on Republican Sam Brown Who is Funded by Koch and Nikki Haley Donors in Nevada GOP Primary in Bid to Flip Seat (VIDEO)

“He’s a hardcore RINO, a Mitch McConnell guy, loves Nikki Haley and is funded by the same people,” said Gunter.

In the interviews below, taken at the 2024 Nevada GOP Convention, Sam Brown Field Director Nikolas Madison confirms that Brown will "absolutely" stand "with the Establishment." When asked if he'd do that, Madison responded, "I 100% believe so." He also agreed that members of Congress need to vote against Trump and thinks Sam Brown "is capable of recognizing the situation."

The Gateway Pundit contacted Nikolas Madison, but he did not immediately provide comment.

Campaign Manager Faith Jones, who agrees that Nevada is "definitely a Trump state," said that Sam Brown is "just a mix" and does not fall in the pro-Trump camp after the undercover journalist said, "I hope he's definitely more of an Establishment [candidate]." During the interview, Jones suspiciously looked around, apparently to make sure she wasn't overheard, while noting that the Trumpers at the Nevada GOP Convention will "get you."

Jones could not be reached for comment.

In another cut, Nikolas Madison again says that Brown is not fully running on a pro-Trump platform, but "he's not like against everything that Trump says," implying that he is against Trump—just not all the way. Madison also said he does not know if Sam Brown voted for Trump in the presidential race.

Meanwhile, Sam Brown publicly claims that he looks forward to "working with President Trump to return hope, security, and opportunity to Nevadans."

President Trump has proven he can deliver on the results Nevada needs, and I believe he will deliver on them again.

I look forward to winning in November and working with President Trump to return hope, security, and opportunity to Nevadans.

— Sam Brown (@CaptainSamBrown) February 9, 2024


Finally, the video concludes with Woodrow Johnston, a political consultant, telling the undercover reporter, "[Trump's] endorsement is so powerful if he endorses someone they'll win the primary." Is this why Sam Brown is secretly pro-Establishment?

Johnston told The Gateway he is not affiliated with the Sam Brown campaign in any capacity and stands by his statement that Trump's endorsement is the most powerful in the state of Nevada.

Based on Sam Brown's Establishment backers and admissions by his team that he is not going to back Trump's agenda in DC, it is safe to say that he is an Establishment RINO.

Pro-life Advocate John Hinshaw Tells Court He Accepts Imprisonment to Expiate the ‘Great Guilt’ of Pro-Abortion Judge

Pro-life advocate John Hinshaw

Joe Biden’s DOJ/FBI is hunting down pro-life conservatives while ignoring Antifa and BLM militants and the radical Hamas supporters shutting down and terrorizing college campuses.

Under Biden, the DOJ weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 law that prohibits interfering with anyone obtaining or providing “reproductive health services,” as a punishment for the Supreme Court’s reversal of  Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

After the Supreme Court ruling, Biden formed the DOJ-led Reproductive Rights Task Force to enforce the act.
According to The Epoch Times, The FACE Act has now been used 130 times against pro-life individuals but only used three times against pro-abortion protesters.

On Tuesday, pro-life advocate John Hinshaw, 69, was sentenced to 21 months in prison for blocking access to late-term abortionist Cesare Santangelo’s Washington Surgi-Clinic.

BREAKING: Pro-Life advocate John Hinshaw has been sentenced to 21 months in federal prison for protesting abortion, as Joe Biden’s persecution of pro-life Americans continues.https://t.co/7Lk5Myd3Rn pic.twitter.com/yULERWUozA

— LifeNews.com (@LifeNewsHQ) May 14, 2024

Hinshaw spent his career in human services working with the homeless, addicted, disabled, and otherwise marginalized populations.

LifeSite News reports that in August 2023, a D.C. jury found Hinshaw, Lauren Handy, Will Goodman, Heather Idoni, and Rosemary “Herb” Geraghty guilty of violating the FACE Act and “conspiracy against rights.”

The following month, Joan Andrews Bell, Jonathan Darnel, and Jean Marshall were convicted of the same and Paulette Harlow was convicted in November.

Hinshaw shared before his sentencing that he accepts his imprisonment to expiate the ‘great guilt’ of the pro-abortion judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, presiding over his case.

Hinshaw declared, ‘I stand here for Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to accept the punishment rightly hers,’ and condemned the judge’s ‘great guilt of pride, indifference, and intolerance.’

During this unjust imprisonment we were gifted with another baby granddaughter, Charlotte Millie, a fiesty little girl who came early – 32 weeks gestation. I know this court only considers her a “would-be child” at that age. At 32 weeks gestation, she was at the same age as Phoenix, Harriet, Holly, Christopher X, and Angel, the Washington five slain by Santangelo. They are named today in honor of their eternal dignity. What makes my granddaughter a treasure and these five trash?? How is this allowed? HOW IS THIS ALLOWED???? It is allowed by courts covering up the crimes of Santangelo.

******
Today, I am told is an opportunity for me to say I’m sorry and so I am sorry. Sorry for having failed in the vocation bestowed upon me the day I became a father. The vocation of protecting children. I have failed this miserably, and so I apologize to this court as I believe my failure contributes to the failure of this court to fulfill its vocation to protect the innocent. And this failure of the court thus contributes to my failure.

******
So all the years of court-protected slaughter have led us here, where I stand convicted, though guiltless. SENT, as I am, to take upon myself the guilt of this court. I stand here for Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to accept the punishment rightly hers. The Latin term for this is spem in alium. And as I open my arms to plead the mercy of this court on Kollar-Kotelly, I ask the One True Judge, whom she and I will be seeing very soon, to accept my act of love toward her as expiation of her great guilt of pride, indifference, and intolerance.

You can read his full remarks here.

In a very moving address to the court, 69-year-old pro-life activist John Hinshaw, sentenced to 21 months in federal prison and who had held a career serving the homeless, addicted & disabled, expressed his sentiments:

He opened by explaining his wife’s maternal love:

Conservative Champion Geert Wilders FINALLY Reaches Deal to Form New Government in the Netherlands

After six long months of negotiations, it seems that – at last – Dutch conservative leader Geert Wilders has sealed a deal to form the most right-wing government in the Netherlands in decades.

Reuters reported:

Wilders, who has influenced Dutch immigration policy from the opposition benches since 2006 and is known for his outspoken views on Islam, was expected to announce a four-party coalition later in the day.”

The coalition talks have dragged on for months, to the delight of the liberal media that fears Wilders and his party.

Wilders’ major election victory on Nov. 22 means that immigration, finances, and fake climate alarmism are among the key policy points.

A breakthrough was reportedly reached back in March as Wilders toned down his rhetoric, agreed to withdraw his name for the position of prime minister, and dropped opposition to support for Ukraine.

“‘I can’t see this fail’, Wilders told reporters shortly after midnight, following 16 hours of talks during which parties said they had found agreement on government finances.

He told journalists as he walked into meetings on Wednesday morning: ‘If everything goes according to plan today, it will be a great outcome.’

The deal is seen bringing together outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s centre-right VVD, the new centrist NSC party and upstart farmers’ protest party BBB in a coalition with a strong majority of 88 seats in the 150-seat Lower House.”

Wilders rode a continental feeling of anti-immigration and anti-establishment sentiment and achieved his largest-ever electoral win.

The incoming conservative government will impose stricter asylum migration policies.

“Wilders, who has close ties with other European populists including Hungary’s Viktor Orban, has also made promises of lavish spending on healthcare and a lowering of the retirement age. But budget constraints make it unlikely the other parties will all support these plans.”

Wilders said he sealed a tentative agreement to form a right-wing coalition government after months of talks but hasn’t yet named a prime minister.

Bloomberg reported:

‘We have a negotiating agreement. But the factions will also discuss it later, so there may be adjustments and amendments’, Wilders said Wednesday after concluding negotiations with three right—leaning parties — the liberal VVD of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the center-right NSC and the populist Farmer-Citizen Movement. ‘After that we may reach a final agreement’, he added.

Wilders’ far-right Freedom Party comfortably captured the most seats in the election almost six months ago, but the controversial politician had been unable until now to assemble an administration. In March, in order to break a deadlock in the talks, he was forced to renounce his own bid to become premier.”

The coalition parties discussed possible prime ministerial candidates, but that conversation will be resumed later.

U.S. Dentist Calls for Jews to Die, Now Faces Serious Action

Dr. Fadi Kablawi

‘Oh Allah, annihilate the brothers of apes and pigs’

This article originally appeared on WND.com

Guest by post by Bob Unruh

A Florida dentist and Islamic imam who has called for the annihilation of “the tyrannical Jews” now could be facing punishment for his vicious anti-Semitism, which he included in a recorded sermon to fellow Muslims.

“Oh Allah, annihilate them, for they are no match for you. Oh Allah, annihilate the brothers of apes and pigs,” demanded Fadi Kablawi in a sermon first broadcast on Facebook, adding the current Israeli government is “worse than the Nazis.”

A report at Newsweek explained Kablawi demanded death for Jews, with, “Oh Allah, annihilate the tyrannical Jews.” The sermon then was translated by Shirion Collective, a pro-Israel account on X.

The report explained Kablawi is an imam at Masjid As Sunnah An Nabawiyyah.

Florida state Rep. Randy Fine, chairman of the Florida House Health and Human Services Committee, now has sent a letter to Jose R. Mellado, chairman of the Florida Board of Dentistry, calling for Kablawi’s dental license to be suspended. And calling for an investigation into Kablawi’s practice.

The letter from Fine includes, “North Miami, where dentist Kablawi practices, contains many Jewish residents, none of whom could be considered safe in Imam Kablawi’s dental chair, where he could personally implement what he is asking Allah to do. Practicing medicine in Florida is a privilege—not a right—and as the chairman of the Florida House Health and Human Services Committee, I call on you to immediately suspend Dr. Kablawi’s license and commence a thorough investigation into his practice. The lives of some of Florida’s Jews could hang in the balance.”

Fine noted he’s already heard from patients who were alarmed that “this guy” was their dentist.

The report noted Fine also shared an email from Mellado expressing concern about the antisemitism.

“I am deeply concerned with this inflammatory rhetoric and the potential danger it poses to Jewish and other ethnic groups. It is our utmost responsibility to protect and ensure the safety of the citizens in Florida. Please, review and act accordingly to protect the patients and the public in Florida.”

Kablawi did not respond to a Newsweek request for comment.

The report noted other statements, attributed to Kablawi’s rantings, and translated, include:

“Oh Allah, bring annihilation upon the accursed Zionists.”

“Oh Allah, show us the black days that you inflict upon the Jews.”

RINO Dirtbag Mike Gallagher Cashes Out, Joins Microsoft Backed VC Firm as ‘Strategic Advisor’

By: Ben Kew

Former Rep. Mike Gallagher is cashing in his chips.

After abruptly announcing his resignation from Congress in March, it was announced on Tuesday that the former Wisconsin Congressman had joined venture capital firm TitletownTech as a “senior strategic advisor.”

The Greene Bay Press-Gazette notes:

The venture capital firm TitletownTech hired former U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher as a senior strategic adviser less than a month after his early departure from Congress. The firm on Monday cited Gallagher’s experience in national security and technology policy in announcing the move. TItletownTech focuses its investments in areas ranging from manufacturing, construction and supply chain issues to digital health, agriculture and entertainment.

The Green Bay Packers and Microsoft together launched the venture capital firm TitletownTech in 2019. The firm has raised $95 million to invest in early stage startups with high-growth potential. Gallagher will help TitletownTech and the startups it invests in better understand public policy and global markets.

In a statement on the announcement, TitletownTech Managing Partner Craig Dickman said that Gallagher’s “leadership in Congress and deep knowledge of technology and security will be crucial as we continue to back transformative companies in various sectors.”

Gallagher, meanwhile, said he would contribute to “transforming Wisconsin into a hub of technological innovation.”

“Wisconsin is on the front lines of geopolitical competition in the 21st century, and has a critical role to play in enhancing America’s economic competitiveness in general and technological leadership in particular,” Gallagher said.

“I look forward to working with the TitletownTech team to drive Wisconsin’s growth by making it the best destination for top-level tech-talent and thereby advance America’s national security interests.”

Gallagher’s decision to resign from Congress was particularly treasonous given that it left the Republicans with just a one-vote majority.

What Is worse is that Gallagher planned his departure one week after the deadline that would have triggered a special election for his district.  Instead, he left Republicans with one less seat in their majority.

DIRTY RINO OF THE YEAR AWARD: Rep. Mike Gallagher Could Have Left Office TODAY to Trigger a Special Election to Fill His Seat – Instead He Will Leave in 10 Days to Screw the Party… Another Dirtbag Assisting the Radical Democrats

Some have speculated that his departure, along with that of fellow RINO Ken Buck, is part of a coordinated uniparty plan to undermine Trump's chances of winning in November.

The early retirements of Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher are part of a scheme by the uniparty cabal to stop Trump from winning the 2024 election.

How? They want to flip the House blue in time to nullify the electoral vote via the 14th Amendment.

It is unclear how much Gallagher will be paid for the role, although one can safely assume that it is a lot more than he was earning in Congress.

J6 Political Prisoner Marc Bru Shares Concerns About Horrible Abuse and Neglect in US Prison System

Marc Anthony Bru

Marc Anthony Bru was seen on January 6th raising his phone to document the events as they unfolded that day at the US Capitol.

Bru was found guilty of attending a protest and “obstruction of an official proceeding” because he was in attendance at the protest.

The obstruction charge is a felony. The Biden DOJ also found him guilty of “civil disorder” for attending the protest and five misdemeanors.

Federal agents pulled guns on Marc and his mother when he was arrested.

DC Judge Boasberg found him guilty of all charges.

Marc Bru did not shut down an official Congressional proceeding by pulling a fire alarm like radical Democrat Jamaal Bowman. Marc’s crime was attending the J6 protests and walking inside the US Capitol.

Before Joe Biden, conservative Americans had the right to protest their government. Today, conservatives are jailed and their lives are ruined for attending a protest.

But it isn’t only J6 prisoners who are being abused and neglected by the prison system. Marc shared his concerns about what is happening within the prison system and alleged violations of human rights by careless staff and the cruel and unusual punishment and torture of incarcerated prisoners.

Marc wrote to The Gateway Pundit to share the stories of two such prisoners.

***Please help Marc here.***

Reported by Marc Anthony Bru, January political prisoner:

I’m in the belly of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP)! It’s been several months, July 8th, if I recall correctly, since I’ve been held hostage by the belligerent Biden Regime. The highly contested 2021 Presidential Election brought Americans together for a collective redress of grievances, through primarily the STOP THE STEAL protest event. We saw what was being done to end President Trump’s position in the Executive branch.

Fast forward three and a half years, and several jail locations across the country later, and my eyes have been opened to the depravity of the judicial system, which we see naturally set the tone of the cultural development of “law enforcement “ all across the “nation.”

You can mostly ignore it in the outside world, yet from inside, you can’t unsee it, nor can you abase yourself to accept it. So I’ve set my intentions to expose the TRUTH of the corruption. My current focus is on the treatment and the intentional neglect by employees whose employers’ name has the words correctional facility associated with them. What are the methods of correction? Are they effective? Let us go straight to the source, the inmates themselves, their testimonies will shock your very soul.

Story # 1 Inmate (we call each other “cellies”)
He is from Las Vegas, Nevada. John Brandon Casutt has been suspiciously incarcerated, likely due to his rise in East Las Vegas politics and his getting too close to affecting some local politicians’ cash payments, adding up to billions annually. His challenges didn’t end with incarceration; they really began after being sentenced by yet another suspicious “court” proceeding. He was held in what we call the SHU, Secure Housing Unit. There, he was ignored when he’d asked multiple times for medical assistance, as a previous neck injury left in its wake chronic pain in his shoulders and neck. They refused to fill his already prescribed pain medication. Stating, “He was in transport, and they didn’t have a legal obligation to provide medical aid unless it was immediately life-threatening.”

I ask, how would these non-medical professional guards be able to make that determination? What they ignored turned into a life-threatening diagnosis when he was finally seen by professional medical outside of the Bureau of Prisons. How he finally got them to a place where he could receive medical attention sounds like fiction, EXCEPT it is totally a true story!

Cellie #1 was told by other inmates, “They (BOP) will never see you or answer your medical requests, and there’s certainly no way to leave the SHU, ever!” It took some time, but he realized he was on his own. Then he had an idea to help alleviate the neck pain. He devised an apparatus that went around his neck and was padded for comfort in the collar. He tied one strip of rope – he’d made from a bed sheet- across from his bunk frame to the shower nozzle, and another strip of the bed sheet hanging down, allowing him to suspend himself from his knees, to hang gently there stretching the neck, which would relieve the pain. He used this invention as he knelt down to place weight on the sling and stretched his neck for a few minutes in the sling and stretched his neck; a few minutes passed, and a guard doing his rounds in the SHU walked by his little door window. He came back to the window and seeing him hanging there, started to shout and opened the door to his cell. Running past him to release the line, the guard hit his shoulder, causing a drop and tightening the neck sling until he passed out from loss of oxygen to the brain.

Long story short, they thought he was dead and hung himself, so they tried to perform CPR on him before checking his vitals. Another guard came and determined he was still alive although he showed no signs of consciousness. They eventually got him out of prison, through the gate, and to an outside hospital, where he slowly regained his senses shortly before arrival.

As he came to, the medic in the back of the ambulance and escort guard from BOP told him he had died, and they revived him. The rest of the story is documented in the hospital’s medical records. He was the only one to successfully exit the SHU in response to his complaint, which he was forced to make happen. A clear, and very common standard of medical neglect, which would have never been addressed if it weren’t for Cellie #1’s attempt to relieve his pain himself. This is just one of many issues with BOP and prisons in general. A jail or prison of any official capacity is only tolerated when they assume these obligations: CARE, CUSTODY, CONTROL. Examine any BOP, or DOC (Department of Corrections), the grievance methods are illusory, and they do not fulfill the first of the 3 obligations.

***Please help Marc here.***

Story #2 BOA Medical Incompetence
My next example, and witness, has been labeled by law enforcement as a really bad guy and member of a notorious local gang called “shameless.” He has a tragic story, but one of perseverance, despite hopeless odds against him, here’s his witness testimony:

“My name is Chadwick Lewis Spann, I am a Hostage # 52718-510 here in State Prison, Victorville, CA. San Bernardino County, where I am in complete and utter torment due to numerous ailments. The most serious and urgent issue is my left eyeball. Back in 2001, I had my face shoved into a light fixture, where the light bulb stabbed through my eye. It tore my cornea, detached my retina, and required a stint placement in my eye to keep the pupil in place. Adding to the need for repairs to my eyeball, the medical doctor had to give me an artificial lens replacement and stitches literally across my eyeball. It was a very serious trauma that left me half-blind in my left eye. Fast forward to 2024, and I’m in West Valley Detention Center, San Bernardino County Jail. We were getting ready to eat. I asked my cellie for a spoon, so he handed me a spoon, but from the side of my bad eye. I turned directly into the spoon, and the handle scraped directly into the center of the eyeball, sending me straight to the ER, outside of the jail.”

“I was taken to Arrowhead Regional Hospital in San Bernardino County. Upon said visit, my eye pressure was zero. Normally, it should be at 6-7. The pain in my eye was beyond bearable. Due to the impact, my pupil shifted to the upper left corner of my cornea, as well as this problem a bright white light (shaped like a worm) developed. The doctors told me they could not find a rupture, so they prescribed steroid eye drops to increase my eye pressure. I would have to continue taking these drops because otherwise, my eyeball would begin to shrivel up and die, like seriously die!?!”

“While I was there with actual medical staff that had integrity and held to their oath, as doctors, I was doing ok. My pain level was only existent if I over-extended myself. But now, I sit in unimaginable pain, my eye is stuck sideways (cockeyed). My confidence is uncertain, and my self-esteem is destroyed, all because this Federal Facility, Victorville, CA, refuses to give me my already prescribed eye drops. Their willful medical neglect is torture. Even though I have shown them the defect created, not to mention, I have migraines and pain that some days bring me to my knees in tears because of shock and being stuck in my bed, unable to open my eyes. I’ve developed depression and anxiety now, I’m disfigured, and my wife is making fun of me. My heart is broken, and my sight is worse than ever. My eye is almost completely dead, and I’m being told by administrators and guards that I’m not ‘entitled’ to receive medical attention because I’m not going to be here, held over long enough to matter.”

“My question is, since when do human beings have times or conditions when their lives do not matter in an institution that assumes the obligations and is liable for CARE, CUSTODY, & CONTROL? I have been here for over 2 months, and now I look like a freak; I’m miserably in pain and anguish. All because they won’t fill my prescription for my vital eye medication. I need to save my eye and my face from deformity. I was cleaning up my past street life of using drugs. I was on Suboxyn to help come down gradually. Now, because the BOP won’t fill my prescriptions, and the torturous pain in my eye and head, I have succumbed to self-medication to gain some limited relief; it is a form of torture. I am forced to cope with the consequences due to the total indifference at the highest level of government.”

CONCLUSION NOTE: My words cannot begin to express how prolific these issues are in the kind of “care” provided by the Bureau of Prisons administrators. They have rendered the grievance process illusory and abandoned any responsibility for the health and safety of the prisoner population with a rogue Federal Administration under the Biden Regime. But let’s not fool ourselves; this torture and neglect have been standard operations within the BOP from many years ago to the present. The assumed government is the real criminal revealed.

Note: IF these horror stories have any emotional effect on you today, consider praying, but also write to the BOP facilities and let them know they cannot operate hidden from the public anymore!

Please help Marc with his legal bills and help support his beloved dog, Tono.

Turncoat Mike Pence Demands Taxpayers Bail Out His Embarrassing Presidential Campaign, Has Over $1.3 Million in Unpaid Debts

By: Ben Kew

The disgraced former Vice President Mike Pence has sought public funding to help bail out his embarrassing presidential campaign.

According to a report from The New York Times, Pence sought public funds last December after realizing that his campaign could no longer meet its obligations.

The report states:

Former Vice President Mike Pence sought public financing for his failed presidential primary campaign, a highly unusual move that if successful would make him the first Republican in more than a decade to receive such funds, according to Federal Election Commission documents that have not previously been disclosed.

Starting in the post-Watergate era, the federal government has allowed presidential candidates to apply for and receive public dollars. But the program has become all but obsolete as it imposes strict spending limits on anyone who participates, at a time when the cost of nationwide campaigning has skyrocketed. Even applying for the money is generally seen as a sign of desperation because the limits of the program are so onerous.

The Times also found that Pence’s campaign has well over a million dollars in unpaid debts:

Mr. Pence’s campaign committee had more than $1.3 million in unpaid debts as of the end of March, federal records show. Qualifying for public funds now would presumably help him pay down those bills.

A spokesman for Mr. Pence did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It was not clear why Mr. Pence’s request for public funds last fall had not yet been acted upon. On Tuesday, the Federal Election Commission posted an eligibility report from its audit division of the request, as well as a memorandum from its general counsel’s office about the matter. A discussion is on the agenda for a commission meeting on Thursday.

Despite raising over $5 million from an array of establishment and anti-Trump donors, Pence’s campaign was a catastrophic failure that underlined his status as a pariah among the conservative grassroots.

After launching his campaign on an explicitly anti-Trump platform, Pence actively boasted about how he had fufilled his constitutional duty by certifying the 2020 presidential election results despite massive evidence of widespread voter fraud.

However, things did not go to plan and he pulled out the race just four months after announcing his campaign when it became clear he did not even qualify for the Republican primary debates.

Since then, Pence has refused to support Donald Trump’s return to the White House, providing a defacto endorsement for more years of Joe Biden.

Former Porn Star Stormy Daniels’ Husband Says Family Will Leave U.S. if Trump Is Acquitted in Hush Money Case (VIDEO)

Credit: Getty Images

Barrett Blade, the husband of former porn star Stormy Daniels, has declared that he and his wife may flee the United States if former President Donald Trump is acquitted in his hush-money trial in New York City.

The trial revolves around allegations that Trump was involved in a payoff to silence Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election, regarding an affair she claims to have had with him. Trump has vehemently denied these allegations, portraying the case as a political witch hunt aimed at tarnishing his image.

In an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Blade expressed concerns over the trial’s impact on his wife, stating that a not guilty verdict for Trump would leave them with no choice but to consider leaving the country.

“If Trump is found not guilty, I think there’s a… I mean, either way, I don’t think it gets better for her. I think if it’s not guilty, we’ve got to decide what to do. A good chance we’ll probably vacate this country,” said Blade.

“If he is found guilty, she’s still going to have to deal with all the hate that feels like she’s the reason that he’s guilty from all of his followers. I don’t see it as a win situation either way. I know that we would like to get on with our lives.

“I know that she wants to move past this. We just want to do what I guess you would say normal people get to do in some aspects. But I don’t know if that ever will be. It breaks my heart. It breaks my heart. Some of the things that she has to go through that people don’t realize,” he added.

During the cross-examination, Trump’s lawyer pointedly questioned Daniels about her past career in adult entertainment.

“Trump’s lawyer says, ‘You’ve acted in porn in 21 sex films, right?’ And Stormy replies, ‘Including compilations.’ The lawyer says, ‘And you’ve also written and directed 150 sex films. You said in your direct. Is that correct?’ And Stormy replies, ‘Give or take.’ And the lawyer says, ‘So this was your career for over 20 years, writing, acting, and directing sex films, right?’ Stormy says, ‘Yes,'” Burnett said.

“And then the lawyer says, ‘Barrett, so you have a lot of experience in making phony stories about sex appear to be real, right?’ And I’m emphasizing the words here because there was a lot of tone in it. And Stormy stops and says, ‘Wow.’ And then she laughs, and she goes, ‘That’s not how I would put it. The sex in the films, it’s very much real, just like what happened to me in that room,” Burnett continued.

THANKS JOE BIDEN! al Qaeda Terrorist Network Now Moving Back Into Afghanistan

Here we go again!

Just a few years after Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the al Qaeda terror network is moving back into the country.

Leaders of the group have reportedly been given ‘safe haven’ there. This is the beginning of the story that led to the 9/11 attacks, chapter and verse.

Plus, they now have the advantage of all of the American weapons and military equipment that Biden left behind in 2021. What could possibly go wrong?

Townhall reports:

How Is Afghanistan Doing Post-U.S. Withdrawal? Well…

It will come as little surprise to anyone who followed the Biden administration’s policy toward Afghanistan which culminated in the botched withdrawal of U.S. forces at the end of August 2021 that handing the country over to the Taliban has not resulted in some vibrant liberalized democracy. Instead, also unsurprisingly, Afghanistan has turned into a hotbed of terrorist activity…

Just a few short years later on Biden’s watch, and he’s again failed to deliver on a promise to hold the Taliban accountable, prevent a reemergence of terrorism, or act decisively to squash any threats emanating from Afghanistan.

The latest quarterly report to Congress from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) states that al Qaeda maintains “a safe haven in Afghanistan,” including for “around a dozen senior al Qaeda leaders.”

What’s more, there are now “up to eight new al Qaeda training camps, one stockpile weapons base, and five madrassas this quarter with help from al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent.”

Let the record show that this is all unfolding on Biden’s watch.

UN team identified up to 8 new al Qaeda training camps, one stockpile weapons base, 5 madrassas this quarter; UN also said al Qaeda continued to support other violent extremist organizations in #AFG, including TTP, with cross-border attacks & weaponshttps://t.co/GDFMJsAzuj

In 2021, Biden pledged that he would "reorganize" U.S. assets to prevent a "re-emergence of terrorists" in Afghanistan.

FAIL: Capitol Police Officer Turned J6 Grifter Harry Dunn Loses Maryland Congressional Primary, Blew $4.5 Million on Unsuccessful Campaign

By: Ben Kew

Harry Dunn, a former Capitol police officer who attempted to build a media and political career off his presence at the January 6th protests, has lost his Congressional primary in Maryland.

With over half the votes counted, Dunn was trailing Maryland state Sen. Sarah Elfreth by around 4000 votes, equivalent to around 10 points. The race has now been called.

The Hill reports:

Maryland state Sen. Sarah Elfreth (D) has won the Democratic primary for Maryland’s 3rd congressional district, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.

Elfreth, who was the youngest woman ever elected to the Maryland Senate when she won her seat in 2018, topped the crowded Tuesday primary race that also included former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, who was on duty during the Jan. 6 riots and garnered significant media attention in the lead-up to Tuesday.

Polling conducted last month for Dunn’s team showed him leading within the margin of error, up just slightly over Elfreth. Her House campaign has raised more than $1.4 million, according to FEC filings, though that trails Dunn’s $4.5 million.

Elfreth is now expected to cruise toward the general election in the district considered safe for Democrats this fall, though a handful of Republicans have put their name in the ring for the GOP primary.

Dunn rose to national prominence back in 2021 when he testified in front of the United States House Select Committee about how events played out.

At one point, he claimed we that Trump supporters chanted the n-word at him, although this has never been verified. His testimony ultimately led to the conviction of Stewart and Meggs Rhodes for 18 and 12 years respectively. 

Despite styling himself as an American patriot, Dunn is in fact anything but. He was a fervent supporter of the violence wreaked by the Black Lives Matter movement and has expressed his view that Donald Trump should be arrested for his supposed role in the Capitol protests.

Since then, he has sought to cash in on his fame through media appearances and even writing a book about his experiences, entitled Standing My Ground. However, it appears that his pursuit of fame and adulation has run its course, at least for the time being.

Dirty Special Counsel Dave Weiss Retaliates Against Hunter Biden IRS Whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, Falsely Suggests They Were Under Investigation by Govt Agency

Two months ago, Special Counsel Dave Weiss retaliated against Hunter Biden IRS whistleblowers Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joseph Ziegler by falsely suggesting they were under investigation by a government agency.

Weiss began retaliating against the whistleblowers in 2022, however, the special counsel filed a court document two months ago and falsely claimed Shapley and Ziegler were under investigation for potential misconduct.

Dave Weiss redacted information related to his claims against the whistleblowers under the guise of an “ongoing investigation.”

“Both SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler have filed whistleblower retaliation claims with OSC, and we understand OSC has requested related documents as part of an investigation into the retaliation claims. Specifically, SSA Shapley has alleged that now-Special Counsel David Weiss began retaliating against Shapley in November 2022 when Weiss learned Shapley had been making protected whistleblower disclosures about Weiss’s office to his IRS chain of command. Those disclosures included allegations Weiss’s office (the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware) engaged in prosecutorial misconduct in the Hunter Biden case by treating Mr. Biden more leniently than similarly situated taxpayers who were not politically connected.” Attorneys for the IRS whistleblowers wrote in a letter to the Acting Principal Deputy Special Counsel.

“Two months ago Special Counsel Weiss filed a document in one of the criminal prosecutions of Hunter Biden drafted and redacted carefully to lead the public to believe SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler were under investigation for potential misconduct. That March 11, 2024 filing opened by stating: “[T]wo IRS agents, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, . . . . have made unsubstantiated claims that prosecutors’ decision-making in this investigation was infected by politics.” The filing continued later: “[A]s described in the attached declaration, Exhibit 2 (filed under seal), the IRS has taken responsible steps to address Shapley’s and Ziegler’s conduct.” Over half of the next page was also redacted. The referenced Exhibit 2 stated the redactions were “to a potential ongoing investigation. . . and the government has filed three exhibits [under seal] that reference a potential ongoing investigation,” the letter stated.

IRS Whistleblowers: In new court filing, government “acknowledged unequivocally for the first time that SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler had not violated the taxpayer privacy laws, as Hunter Biden had falsely alleged.”

Last year two IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley, and Joseph Ziegler, testified on the government prosecutors’ preferential treatment of Hunter Biden.


Gary Shapley

IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler said agents were "afraid to ask ... questions that could lead to the [Biden] presidential campaign," even after the 2020 election.
Joseph Ziegler

“Hunter appeared to follow a pattern of attempting to avoid paying taxes on relevant income. This first started with Hunter not reporting the [Ukrainian gas company] Burisma income in 2014 and allegedly falsely claiming that it was a loan to him,” IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler said last year.

“He, again, tried to claim the millions in [Chinese] income earned from Hudson West III was a loan to him, which was refuted by the evidence and was not allowed by his tax accountants,” Ziegler said, according to The New York Post.

“This continued into 2020, 2021 and 2022, in which Hunter received approximately $4.9 million in payments for personal expenses, again in the form of a loan and gift from Democratic donor Kevin Patrick Morris,” Ziegler said.

Gary Shapley said Biden-appointed US Attorneys blocked charges against Hunter Biden.

Zieger said David Weiss, the US Attorney from Delaware, was hamstrung and marginalized by DOJ officials.

“It appeared to me, based on what I experienced, that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware in our investigation was constantly hamstrung, limited, and marginalized by DOJ officials,” Ziegler said.

“The Justice Department allowed the president’s political appointees to weigh in on whether to charge the president’s son,” Shapley said referring to the US Attorneys in DC and California.

CREEPY: Mirrored Image of King Charles III’s New Portrait Allegedly Reveals Baphomet Face

The unveiling of King Charles III’s first official portrait since his coronation has taken an unexpected and unsettling turn.

The artwork, characterized by its vibrant red hues and detailed depiction of Charles in his Welsh Guards uniform, was intended as a tribute to the king’s longstanding service. However, an unexpected visual phenomenon involving the mirrored image of the portrait has captured the public’s imagination.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday that the portrait was painted by artist Jonathan Yeo, and it depicts Charles against a background of ‘vivid red hues’ – maybe too vivid – wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards military unit, Charles was made Regimental Colonel of this regiment in 1975.

A butterfly flutters just above his right shoulder to complete the disturbing effect.

“My aim was also to make reference to the traditions of Royal portraiture but in a way that reflects a 21st Century Monarchy and, above all else, to communicate the subject’s deep humanity,” Yeo said.

WATCH:

The colour red is associated with Satan, the monarch butterfly symbolises mind control, and black eyes in a dream symbolises a demonic entity.

— Cillian (@CilComLFC) May 14, 2024

Commenters were not kind to the artwork, basically saying ‘it looks like he is in hell’. Even the NY Post called it the ‘ghostly-looking’ Charles portrait, but people went much harder.

Some asked if it was ‘all the blood on his hands?’, or said that they ‘100% thought this was satire’, called it ‘a little creepy’, ‘slightly disturbing’, ‘like he’s bathing in blood’.

“The portrait — which will ultimately hang in Drapers’ Hall — was commissioned in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales’s 50 years as a member of The Drapers’ Company in 2022.”

The discourse took an even more bizarre turn when social media users conducted a simple yet revealing experiment: mirroring the image. The mirrored image, laid next to the original, allegedly shows a face resembling Baphomet—a figure associated with occult and satanic practices.

What’s even more terrifying is that the doubled mirror image reveals a far more sinister result.

This unexpected twist has given rise to debates and “conspiracy theories” about secret messages and sinister symbols hidden in plain sight. Some have taken this as evidence of malevolent forces at work within the highest echelons of power.

Is this mirrored revelation merely a coincidence, a carefully orchestrated artistic conspiracy, or simply a trick of the eye? What do you think?

Exclusive: The Left’s ELECTION INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX Is Run Like a 5th Generation “Weapons System”

The Left’s Election Industrial Complex Part II.

There is a battle over US Elections going on today. It’s the Left’s Election Industrial Complex verses fair and transparent US elections.

While conservatives argue over whether we should vote early or on election day, the Election Industrial Complex is adding, deleting and managing entities that are clandestinely operating behind US elections.

A document produced by Higher Ground Labs entitled the – 2022 Political Tech Landscape Report – outlines what we have labeled the Election Industrial Complex (see diagram above).

This document shows the many entities and interactions between these entities and groups involved in the Left’s Election Industrial Complex. Higher Ground Labs is led by a group of far-left zealots and politicians. It started in 2017 after Hillary lost the 2016 Election.

Higher Ground Labs created and published its 2022 report that describes its landscape and connections in the election industry complex. This document outlines the many initiatives, connections and activities it is involved in and the players it interacts with to ensure radical far-left and increasingly communist anti-American Democrats win elections.

This landscape involves “non-profits” and publicly traded companies which prevent the public from requesting information that would be required to be provided by the government in FOIA requests.

Based on our initial analysis of this Complex, the Left uses money to manipulate these groups where conservative entities for the most part run on trust. Money is used to incentivize. “Trust issues” in a grass roots environment are minimized through the use of money and funding.

See our first post on this topic below:

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The Left’s ELECTION INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX Discovered and Defined

A deeper dive into the Left’s Election Industrial Complex from a military expert’s point of view indicates that this system runs more like a 5th generation weapons system.

A military weapons system is an integrated system, usually computerized, for the control and operation of weapons of a particular kind. With this in mind, It appears that the Left has weaponized US elections.

5th Generation warfare is described by Dr. Robert Malone as follows (emphasis added):

5th-Gen warfare is an extension of Asymmetric and Insurgent Warfare strategies and tactics, whereby both conventional and unconventional military tactics and weapons are incorporated and deployed, including exploitation of political, religious and social causes. This new gradient of warfare uses the internet, social media and the 24-hour news cycle to change cognitive biases of individuals and/or organizations. It can be conducted by organized or unorganized (ergo decentralized) groups; it may be led by nation states, non-nation state actors and organizations, non-governmental organizations or even individuals. A key characteristic of 5th Gen warfare is that the nature of the attack is concealed. The goal is to disrupt and defeat opponents by creating new cognitive biases.

The most effective 5th-Gen warfare strategies employed by those lacking integrity are not purely based on pushing false narratives, mis- dis- or mal- information. The most effective strategies mix truth with action, and act to increase confusion and disorder.

This Left’s Election Industrial Complex communicates real-time election operations. It’s a psychological war that uses activists and volunteers as troops. It relies heavily on messaging and influencers are highly valued. The ultimate goal is to obtain committed hearts and minds.

This is why the “New Media” is so despised by the Left. The Truth reported by New Media is the enemy of the Left.

See this brief and brilliant explanation below.

Here is a document that outlines the comments shared in the video above.

Real Time Operations by Joe Ho on Scribd

The Far-Left are working on new entities and activities within their Political Industrial Complex to steal a Democrat win in November 2024. The problem is the Left pushes more disinformation than truth.

(Joe Hoft is the author of three books related to the 2020 Election which have been referred to as “definitive documentation of the enormous fraud in the 2020 Election” and “classics”.)

Wartime Consigliere: Here Are the Policies the Next RNC General Counsel Must Consider to Outflank Leftist Lawfare and Secure the 2024 Election

With news of the recent departure of RINO RNC General Counsel, Charlie Spies, there is now a prime opening for the next General Counsel to lay down a truly bold, MAGA-aligned agenda to ensure the election procedures and laws are as fortified and secure as possible in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

Special attention must invariably be placed on critical battleground states like Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

By fortifying election procedures in those states, an undertaking that must prioritize maximizing voter turnout via registration campaigns and ballot harvesting efforts coupled with a legal strategy centered on bringing transparency and accountability back to electioneering, Republicans will find themselves having a much easier time litigating irregularities and fraud if and when those problems do reoccur, rather than having to play again from behind – much as they did four years ago.

One of the advantages of enduring these last four grueling, dismal, miserable years – a period of unprecedented constitutional breakdown in American history defined by witch-hunts, political persecutions, censorship, gaslighting, deplatforming, and general conspiracy and paranoia – is that more Americans than ever are awakened to the harsh realities of voter fraud and election corruption generally speaking; and the horrors that might befall the republic if those issues are ignored and left to fester and metastasize.

America now finds itself on the brink of totalitarianism; a despotism once characteristic of socialist and communist banana republics to our South has arrived on these shores with a vengeance.

This explains the importance of the 2024 presidential election in a nutshell: its outcome will determine whether the United States continues to sustain as a bastion of freedom the world over or succumb to tyranny once and for all. There is no third option.

President Trump arrived on the political scene in 2016, when nearly all hope was lost, and breathed life into our decadent and desiccated nation – made weak over decades by a bipartisan consensus in Washington that engorged on the excesses of its own self-indulgence — an indulgence that has carved out America’s middle class by offshoring industrial jobs to places like China, while empowering our foreign adversaries to the detriment of our national security – and overall sovereignty.

Despite having been unceremoniously ousted from office in 2020, and targeted maliciously thereafter by a multi-pronged rapacious gaslighting campaign, executed by that same bipartisan consensus that bled America to near ruin, hardly anyone believed Donald Trump would be able to stage a comeback from so great a defeat.  And yet here we are.

Blessedly, miraculously, the 45th President finds himself in a formidable political position four years since that dismal departure.  By the force of his own indomitable will, aided by God’s good grace, President Trump is polling arguably better than he ever has at any point in his nearly ten-year sojourn in politics.

The traits that made Donald Trump such a tremendous salesman in private life have transmuted with uncanny dexterity to his political career.  His branding skills that made the Trump name a standalone product later in his career remain unparalled.

He has the entrepreneur’s penchant for problem-solving, and the marketeer’s knack for making complex policy issues digestible for mass consumption.  This explains the phenomenon of the Trump rally, which has no equivalent in the history of presidential politics – or, really, the politics of any nation.

The rally is at one and the same time quintessentially American and consummately Donald Trump: these go hand-in-hand in explaining the President’s durability, having withstood – and continuing to withstand – the tidal wave of criticism and attacks by a bloated administrative state.

The administrative or deep state can mobilize at the ready a coterie of apparatchiks in the media, judicial system, big tech, and even non-governmental organizations and institutions, which collectively march to the beat of the drum of the Biden Regime’s orders.

President Trump’s prowess on the campaign trail remains unrivaled; his popularity, coupled with his white martyrdom at the hand of a weaponized justice system, to which he has frequently made comparisons to Nelson Mandela, has only emboldened the MAGA faithful this cycle, more so than in 2020 or 2016.

The President’s supporters viscerally feel that the country is on the line, and that the 45th President is truly the only thing preventing the feds waging an all-out assault on their fundamental rights and liberties.

Indeed, in many cases, they already have: between the prosecutions of the J6 “political hostages,” to the crackdown on traditional Catholic masses and parents who protest the curricula of woke school boards, the Biden Regime has waged warfare directly on the American people, in a manner that is starkly reminiscent (for those Americans who lived through it) of the kinds of witch hunts routinely carried out in the former Soviet Union, or communist Cuba.

A Policy Approach For The Next RNC General Counsel

Which brings me back to the RNC.  While President Trump right now must focus his attention on the indictments, trials, campaigning, and rallies, the RNC and its new General Counsel should strategize a counter-offensive, playing both offense and defense, to capitalize — and complement — as much as possible on President Trump’s success on the campaign trail, and the unintended political windfall he has thus far received from his many show trials.

Fundraising is one part of the equation, and under the new leadership it would appear based on recent reports that the newly overhauled RNC is doing quite well raking in the dough.  But there is much more to winning than simply fundraising.

Being able to raise money is one side of the equation; deploying that money economically and efficiently, in a way that maximizes utility – factoring time constraints and personnel talent – is a completely different animal.

On that note, an effective RNC strategy would make the following agenda items a priority:

1. Engage the New York Gag Order: The need to run a counteroffensive for President Trump, while he is unable to speak and criticize the trial (which is teeming with disqualifying conflicts of interest), is of utmost importance.

The gag order can be criticized in myriad ways.  Surrogates, including politicians who visit the courthouse – like, just this past week, Vivek Ramawamy, Sen. J.D. Vance, Gov. Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds, and Rep. Mike Johnson – should take to the airwaves, be it cable television, radio, print, and podcasting, to explain why Judge Merchan is egregiously wrong for having undermined the President’s due process and First Amendment rights.

Because of what is at stake here, the Constitution literally hangs in the balance, this narrative that Merchan is undermining the Constitution must be drilled home persistently, relentlessly.  Politicians should encourage their peers, no matter their political office, to show up at the courthouse and sit there in solidarity with President Trump.  They should likewise encourage their constituents to peacefully protest outside the courthouse, and continue to do so as long as the show trial remains in effect.  They should demand Merchan recuse himself every single day until he does, or until he feels enough public pressure to step down from his post.

2. Engage in Counter Lawfare: The Right must learn from the Left and engage in counter lawfare.  Speaker Johnson should subpoena Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Judge Merchan.  While they currently operate behind closed doors (since cameras are not allowed in New York State criminal proceedings), they should be required to account for their actions, before the cameras, in front of the House Judiciary Committee.

Pledge to set up investigations into every rogue judge, prosecutor, district attorney, and attorney general once the Republicans reclaim power.  House Republicans, especially within the New York GOP delegation, should inundate the New York State Court system with ethics complaints and lawsuits to signal their disapproval of what is going on.  Congress should consider subpoenaing the New York State Bar, and if necessary, file charges against them for allowing Alvin Bragg and Letitia James to run roughshod over the New York judicial system.

The RNC can actively aid and abet Congress’ efforts, by mobilizing media campaigns and making lawfare strategy recommendations, of the kind outlined above.  Alternatively, the RNC could draft and issue “letters of complaint,” a more informal method of attack, but in keeping with the general sentiment to always be on the offensive.

3. Investigate the Watchdog and Pressure Groups. The RNC must not only keep track of the groups that target media companies like Fox News and Newsmax with defamation lawsuits that prevent commentators to this day from discussing the outcome determinative fraud affecting the 2020 presidential election in any great detail.

Recently, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani was put on leave from WABC radio for discussing the fraud and irregularities of the 2020 election – under no circumstances should anyone be professionally penalized for raising legitimate questions and conducting legitimate inquiries and investigations into our election procedures.  If that topic is taken off the table, it is impossible to ensure free and fair elections, which is the lynchpin of our democracy.  If there was no fraud, then let those who believe there was fraud to be discredited in the court of public opinion.

That is, after all, the whole point of the First Amendment.  But to continue to shut those down who raise such allegations raises a strong suspicion that there in fact was fraud, and plausibly to a scale that was outcome determinative.  Indeed, what else accounts for the fact that Joe Biden, who purportedly received more votes than any man in American history for President, also happens to have the lowest poll numbers in history?

Make that make sense.  What is more, we now know, even more so than in the weeks and months immediately following the 2020 election, that there was evidence of systemic fraud – a ton of it, more of which continues to come out by the day and constantly redefines the narrative of just how corrupt the 2020 presidential race actually was.

One recent development, to drive the point home, is that Georgia’s State Election Board is now reviewing an allegation that Fulton County double counted thousands of ballots. Considering that Georgia was officially decided by an asserted 11,000 votes – the over 3,000 that were double-counted in Fulton County (which is surely indicative of fraud in other counties if proper investigations were allowed to be made), eats a significant portion of that vote total.

This is of course just one of many cases of widespread fraud that occurred in not only Georgia, but other key battleground states like Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.  Thus, the RNC must create a strategy with a focus on maximizing transparency into electioneering processes.

This calls for monitoring vote tabulation and ballot processing all throughout election season – with resources allocated based on the importance of the state or voting area.  So, for instance, Fulton County, Philadelphia County, and Maricopa County should be prioritized over counties in conventionally non-competitive states.

4. Counter-Lawfare Strategy: Lawyers must be deployed on the ground, at the scene, on election day and on the days leading up to election day, to monitor electioneering processes to ensure best practices.  Moreover, from a macro level, a counter-lawfare strategy must be devised to allow discussion of allegations of fraud without fear of reprisal.

One’s First Amendment right to speak freely and criticize and expose fraudulent election practices is inalienable and must be rigorously guarded in the courts of law.  Where courts fail to uphold this sacred duty, appeals must be made.

Lawyers should also work to curb egregious attacks by the Left on the First Amendment – such as the absurdly high legal penalty Mayor Giuliani (as just one example) faces for criticizing the Dominion Voting Systems.  Under no circumstances should one’s free speech rights be stripped away so callously and ruthlessly as Giuliani (and many others) experienced – which resulted in numerous professional and personal costs, including his recent termination by WABC radio.

Media organizations like WABC and Fox News should not feel pressure by activist left wing pressure groups – who get away with suing their political adversaries to oblivion.  That should not be tolerated in a society that purports to uphold the rule of law (to say nothing of that little document called the Constitution).

An RNC-led conservative counter-lawfare strategy must lay down rigorous procedures to clearly telegraph that Left wing subversion into election procedures will no longer be tolerated – and if the Left attempts any funny business, they will be retaliated tenfold by the Right, with an blitzkrieg of lawsuits that will render leftist pressure groups bankrupt, and force them to heel.

That must be the general strategy and mentality of the next RNC and General Counsel, in particular.  And it is imperative that they embark upon a media campaign to let their political opponents know that they mean business and will not be playing around.

5. Prevent Illegal Aliens From Voting:  Given that Joe Biden’s border policy (or lack thereof) will unleash an estimated 7-10 million migrants (or more) into the American homeland once his term expires, it is imperative that the RNC leads a strong initiative to prevent illegal aliens from voting.

What should be a top priority for the RNC’s next General Counsel is to propose legislation that would make a felony of any non-citizen who votes in any election, and any institution – such as NGOs like Catholic Charities – that receive federal grants which might aid and abet illegal voting.  The Republican-controlled House of Representatives should pass this legislation before Election Day, and the Senate should try to.

If the Senate fails to pass it, the Democrats – and Biden – will have to own the policy of effectively licensing illegals to vote, which a supermajority of American voters vehemently oppose.  The next RNC General Counsel should also recommend that the House strip all funding – in terms of grants, mandates, and other federal monies – to NGOs that have facilitated Biden’s migrant catastrophe.

The RNC should also ask states to pass laws in special sessions that would make non-citizens voting a felony and encourage Republican Attorneys General to lead on this.

Politically, such policies could be a huge windfall for down ballot Republicans this cycle, given that, again, most Americans – of all political affiliations – absolutely abhor the idea of illegals and non-citizens voting in any election: local, state, or federal.

Let me repeat a third time: the overwhelming majority of Americans don’t want illegals voting in their elections (as it stands, dead people are bad enough!). Make the Democrats own this issue by passing legislation in the House as well as Republican-controlled state legislatures.  Not only would this initiative set a nice foundation for securing our elections, but it would be hugely politically advantageous.

The definition of lawfare is “waging war by use of law.”  Does anyone on the Right recognize that we are not in a debate or a conversation about the future?  Politics is war by other means.  We are at war!  Time for the next RNC General Counsel to adopt a war footing – before it is too late.

As the Don said of Spies, “you are not a wartime consigliere.” We are in war; the next General Counsel must have what it takes to win, win, win!

“This Guy Who Can’t Even Walk Over Here – And Sh*ts His Pants Every Now and Then?” – Aaron Rodgers Destroys Old Joe Biden in His Must-See Interview with Tucker Carlson (VIDEO)

Tucker Carlson sits down with Aaron Rodgers for an interveiw and IT’S EPIC!

NFL star Aaron Rodgers sat with Tucker Carlson for an extended two-hour interview that was released on Tuesday.

The New York Giants quarterback dished about vaccines, pharmaceutical companies, government corruption and Joe Biden as President.

The discussion got really interesting when Aaron Rodgers started talking about Joe Biden sh*tting his pants.

The entire interview is well worth your time – but this segment was particularly entertaining!

Aaron Rodgers: You did one of the most controversial, somehow, not to me, most controversial interviews in the last, I don’t know how long, when you went to Russia and did Putin. How did it feel coming back? Because anybody who watched the interview was like, number one, it was f*cking awesome. Number two, Putin came off as an interesting, thoughtful, smart individual.

And if you’ve read 1984, the game plan of government control is you have to have an enemy, and you have to slander that enemy regardless if you know anything about them. And I think a lot of people are like, “Oh, Putin apologists are like, whitewashing all the stuff that he’s done to the different people.” And I was just like, “No, I’d love to see Joe Biden give an interview where he can speak on the history of the United States in the same way that Putin talked about the history of his country.”

Tucker Carlson: I’d love to see Biden do an interview where he shows how to operate a microwave, and I don’t think that’s going to happen. And by the way, Biden won’t do interviews, and neither will Zelensky so far…

…I thought he was an interesting guy, smart guy, impressive guy, in some ways, obviously a lot more impressive than Joe Biden, But he’s Russian, and he runs Russia, and I’m American, and I live in America, so I care about my country. I want my leaders to be better. I’m not on Putin’s side. I don’t have any emotional attachment to any foreign country because I’m not a foreigner. I’m an American, and this is the only country I care about. But for the record, yeah, I thought people can watch it and assess for themselves.

Aaron Rodgers: And they should. It’s a fascinating interview.

Tucker Carlson: But the idea that you shouldn’t be allowed to do that is so crazy to me. I’m just not going to submit to that.

Aaron Rodgers: Like being canceled by the people who have just bowed down and given interviews from their knees to the Zelenskyy’s of the world.

Tucker Carlson: Gargling as they interview, yes. It’s wild.

Aaron Rodgers: As this guy comes over in f*cking in an outfit you’d wear to the store on a Sunday morning to ask the Congress for another $100 billion is f*cking wild.

Tucker Carlson: He looks like he’s going to be in the Village People music video. It’s like it’s saying the whole thing. It’s – That’s what I’m saying. You do wonder that and a million other things going on right now. You wonder if they’re seeing how far they can push the population until someone starts laughing. Like, are you joking?

Aaron Rodgers: It feels like that sometimes. What if we did this? Is anybody going to give a shit? No? Okay, now let’s try this one here. We’re going to put Joe Biden up and do this. Wait, what? This guy who can’t even walk over here? And sh*ts his pants every now and then?

Enjoy.

Watch the Amazing Jerry Seinfeld Commencement Speech at Duke University That Dumb Student Protesters Walked Out on (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported over the weekend, some student protesters at Duke University walked out on Jerry Seinfeld’s commencement speech.

Boy did they miss out.

Seinfeld’s speech was amazing. It was barely political, except when he called out progressive ideas like privilege.

He focused mostly on how to be successful and happy in life, stressing the need for having a good sense of humor.

Here’s a partial transcript:

Thank you. Oh my God, what a beautiful day. What a beautiful class. We love you guys.

I am here today at the gracious invitation of President Price and the Duke Board of Trustees. Because after spending four years at what is considered one of the finest institutions of higher education in the world, they apparently feel that perhaps some light entertainment will get you all to the final realization. You know, I think I’ve really had enough of this place. Let’s bring in a comedian.

Let’s bring the sophistication and erudition of the Duke experience down a couple notches. And I thought, maybe that does make sense. Maybe the thinking was, what we really want is to just get these kids the hell out of here. What would give them that last final push?

Because what you might not be fully aware of is that the entire time you have been at this wonderful university, we have been meeting and talking to other kids that we would like to replace you with. Not because we weren’t happy with you. Not at all. You have been great. It’s just, you know, we want you to see what’s out there. I don’t want to say exactly how many kids we talked to. It’s roughly this many. And we met a lot of wonderful kids a lot.

Was there a time when we were thrilled to have you come here to learn, grow and flourish? Of course, there was… that time has passed. We do offer graduate programs in a number of different disciplines. If you and your parents want to stall your ultimate uselessness for a few more years.

Watch the whole thing below, this is a great speech:

Years from now, some of those student protesters will look back with regret for missing this.

LISTEN: Trump Pollster Explains Why Minnesota and Virginia Are in Play for 2024 (AUDIO)

In the 2024 election, it is beginning to look like states that were unthinkable for Trump four years ago could actually flip red.

Trump pollster John McLaughlin recently spoke to Breitbart News and talked about the possibility of Minnesota and Virginia going for Trump in November. This comes on top of the news that Trump is making a serious play for New Jersey and New York.

If Trump picks up some blue states in this election, it will be much more difficult for Democrats to deny the will of the people. Of course, they’ll still try.

From Breitbart News:

Exclusive — Trump Pollster: ‘Virginia and Minnesota Are in Play’

Virginia and Minnesota are in play, Trump pollster John McLaughlin, CEO and partner of McLaughlin & Associates, said during a Tuesday appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

McLaughlin said that Trump seems to be ahead in the national popular vote, explaining some of the data.

“There’s eligible voters — probably 100 million — who don’t vote. They had a record turnout last time, 160 million. That was up from 139 million in 2016,” he said, explaining that Trump is also ahead in battleground states. The Trump campaign, he continued, released top line numbers for polls taken in Minnesota and Virginia, showing something extraordinary.

“Minnesota, we had Trump at 40 percent, Biden at 40 percent, Kennedy at nine, and Virginia was Biden 40, Trump 37, Kennedy eight, so Virginia and Minnesota are in play,” he said, also citing an Emerson College Poll analyzing New Jersey. That survey showed Trump within five points. That poll, he added, was taken before Trump’s massive rally in the Garden State, which attracted roughly 100,000 people.

Listen below:

If Trump wins Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania in November, Democrats will be heartbroken. If Trump wins New Jersey, Minnesota, or Virginia, Democrats will completely lose their minds. It would be a thing of beauty.

Rosie O’Donnell and Other Hollywood Harpies Appeal to DOCTOR Jill Biden to Call for a Ceasefire in Gaza (VIDEO)

Rosie O’Donnell and some of her liberal Hollywood galpals are appealing to Doctor Jill Biden to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Do they not realize that a ceasefire was in place on October 7th? Would they be calling for a ceasefire if Hamas was winning in this conflict?

Also, why are they appealing to Jill Biden? What power does she have in foreign policy, or anything for that matter?

Hot Air reports:

Cringe: Celebs Sent Mother’s Day Message to Jill Biden

Stop the genocide, Jill. Stop the genocide.

Some celebrities put together a Mother’s Day message for Jill Biden. They went over President Biden’s head and spoke directly to the person in charge – the first lady.

The idiotic elites want a permanent ceasefire immediately. Are they aware that there was a ceasefire in place on October 7, 2023? It doesn’t matter. They are antisemites who aren’t interested in truth or reality. They chose to let their anti-Israel freak flags fly.

What better day than Mother’s Day to deliver their message?

The video featured The Gilded Age co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski, Scottish singer-songwriter Annie Lennox, comedian and Babes actress Ilana Glazer, American playwright V (formerly Eve Ensler), comedian and TV producer Rosie O’Donnell and several other women from the famed entertainment industry. The Sex and the City star posted the star-studded appeal to the First Lady of the United States on X/Twitter on Mother’s Day. Also, tagging the Avengers star Mark Ruffalo, who’s been avidly speaking for the Gaza cause, the aforementioned celebrities shared the video message on Instagram.

Here’s the video, if you can get through it.

This is hilarious. Celebrities, in a video title "A Message To Dr Jill Biden," beg First Lady Jill Biden to tell her husband President Joe Biden to end the war against Hamas.

Stormy Daniels’ Former Attorney Michael Avenatti SLAMS Michael Cohen from Behind Bars for Being a “Liar and Total Fraud”

Credit: Getty Images

Disgraced former attorney Michael Avenatti, who has been imprisoned since February 2022 and was sentenced to an additional 14 years for stealing millions from clients—bringing his total sentence to 19 years without the possibility of parole—has tweeted from prison attacking another conman, Michael Cohen.

From his cell, Avenatti unleashed a barrage of accusations on Saturday. He challenged the public to question the fairness of being judged solely on the accusations of others, without an opportunity to defend oneself.

Avenatti wrote, “The next time you are accused of something by someone – a co-worker, neighbor, friend, significant other, stranger – ask yourself if it would be ok if only they were allowed to speak/accuse/antagonize while you were not allowed to respond to defend yourself. If your answer is no, then you too should be angered by Trump not being allowed to respond to Cohen’s & Daniels’ nonsense.”

But Avenatti didn’t stop there. Following Cohen’s testimony on Tuesday, he took to Twitter again to reaffirm his long-held view of Cohen as untrustworthy.

“Unlike many, I have been consistent for 6 years: Michael Cohen is a liar and a total fraud/narcissist who cares only about himself.”

“And let us not forget about Women for Cohen and the 700+ ridiculous posts he fabricated in an effort to paint himself as a brilliant attorney, sex symbol, etc. I guess he claims that was Trump’s fault too? Lololololol”

Last week’s tweets also saw Avenatti accusing Keith Davidson, another key witness in Trump’s trial, of lying and implicated Stormy Daniels in an extortion scheme against Trump in 2016.

“Keith Davidson is lying. After I confronted her w/ her own text msgs, Daniels admitted to me in early 2019 that she & Davidson had extorted Trump in Oct. 2016 – it was a shakedown. This was one of the many reasons I fired her as a client in Feb. 2019.”

Amidst this tirade, Avenatti also targeted his former client Stormy Daniels with allegations of fraud and falsification of business records. He recounted an interaction with producer Sarah Gibson, who approached him for participation in a documentary about Daniels. According to Avenatti, Gibson revealed a plan to secretly pay Daniels for the documentary while concealing the payments from Trump and his lawyers.

Read his statement below:

Will DA Bragg or Others Charge Stormy Daniels with Fraud and Falsification of Business Records?

Statement of Michael Avenatti – Last June, I was contacted by producer Sarah Gibson, who requested that l assist with a documentary about my former client Stormy Daniels (I had fired Daniels as a client in February 2019). On June 25, 2023, at 12:09 p.m. PT, I spoke with Ms. Gibson by phone, on a recorded line, and asked her a number of questions so I could determine whether I would agree to participate.

I was particularly interested in knowing whether the project was going to be legitimate and fair, or instead, a puff piece designed to put Daniels in a favorable light while ignoring facts and trashing me and Donald Trump. I wanted nothing to do with the project if it was the latter.

My first question to Ms. Gibson when we spoke was whether Daniels was being paid for the documentary. I asked this question because if she was being paid for the doc, it would be a clear indication to me that the project lacked integrity, would be one-sided, and controlled by Daniels.

Ms. Gibson told me that Daniels was being paid for the documentary, but that because she owed Trump hundreds of thousands of dollars from a judgment Trump was trying to collect from Daniels, they – Daniels, Gibson and others – had come up with a plan that would allow Daniels to be secretly paid, while at the same time keeping the payments) from Trump and his attorneys.

Among other things, she told me that they had fictionally “optioned” the rights to Daniels’ book and then routed the money Daniels demanded through a fabricated “trust” that had been set-up in the name of Daniels’ daughter – all to hide the money from Trump and avoid paying the judgment.

To say that I was shocked when I was told this would be an understatement. A woman I had never met or spoken to before was admitting to me, on a recorded line, that Daniels, she and others had engaged in multiple overt criminal acts (state and federal), including falsification of business records, wire fraud, and fraudulent transfers, all in an effort to defraud Trump and avoid paying him what he was legally due. Due to the fraud, I declined to participate in the documentary.

If what Ms. Gibson told me on the recorded line is true – and there is every reason to believe it is – how can DA Bragg possibly rely on the testimony of Daniels, who is herself guilty of fraud and recently falsifying business records to cover-up a crime (i.e. fraudulent transfer and wire fraud)? Further, will DA Bragg or others be promptly filing criminal charges against Daniels or others involved in this scheme?

Bidenomics Strikes Again: Red Lobster Closes Nearly “120 Restaurants” in 27 States — Plans to File Bankruptcy in the Coming Weeks

Popular seafood chain Red Lobster has begun the process of closing nearly 127 locations in 27 states, according to reports.

As of Tuesday, the Red Lobster website listed the affected locations as “closed,” according to a report by Fox 59. States including California, Florida, New York, Iowa, and Illinois were among those hit by the unexpected closures.

In Danville, Illinois, Mayor Rickey Williams Jr. took to Facebook to express his dismay.

“I was just notified by one of our local Red Lobster managers that after 31 years of serving our community, without notice, their parent company laid off the entire crew and closed the restaurant effective immediately,” Williams wrote.

“This is despite the fact that they were rated number 15 out of over 600 stores for customer service & satisfaction last year. They also shuttered nearly 120 other stores without notice,” Williams added.

The parent company’s abrupt decision to shutter these locations comes as it prepares to auction off more than 50 sites across the country. TageX Brands, a restaurant liquidation company, has announced that it will oversee the sale of equipment from the closed restaurants, describing it as its “largest restaurant equipment auction ever.” However, only 48 locations are specifically listed in its catalog, Fox Business reported.

“As of today, select Red Lobster locations are CLOSED. On our Restaurant Equipment marketplace, we are auctioning off 50+ locations across the country. These auctions are WINNER TAKES ALL – meaning, each winner will receive the ENTIRE contents of the Red Lobster location they bid on. Auctions are live and will end periodically on Thursday, May 16, 2024,” TageX wrote on its website.

The locations participating in this massive auction span across several states. The auction includes locations in the following states:

Alabama

  • Auburn
  • Decatur

California

  • Redding
  • Rohnert Park
  • Sacramento
  • San Diego

Earlier this year, Red Lobster’s owner, Thai Union Group, announced plans to sell its stake in the brand, citing a “combination of [the] COVID-19 pandemic, sustained industry headwinds, higher interest rates, and rising material and labor costs” impacting profits.

Earlier this year, rumors surfaced that Red Lobster was considering filing for bankruptcy to alleviate its financial burdens.

Business Insider reported:

Restaurant chain Red Lobster could file for bankruptcy protection as early as next week, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

People familiar with the matter told the Journal that the company, overwhelmed with hundreds of millions in debt, plans to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in Orlando before Memorial Day.

Bloomberg previously reported in April that the restaurant company was considering filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

[…]

Leasing costs, less foot traffic during COVID-19 lockdowns, and a failed all-you-can-eat shrimp promotion are some of the reasons Red Lobster and outside observers have attributed to the company’s downfall.

These financial troubles resulted in Thai Union Group, which had assumed majority ownership of Red Lobster in 2020, pulling out its investments. On a February earnings call, Thai Union Chief Executive Thiraphong Chansiri said, “We’re going to exit. We are not going to inject any more money into Red Lobster.”

The sudden closure of Red Lobster locations is yet another indicator of the economic hardships facing American businesses under the Biden regime. As inflation and costs continue to rise, more and more companies are finding it difficult to stay afloat.

The question remains: how many more businesses will fall victim to these economic conditions before Trump gets reelected this coming November?

Biden VERY Confused Tonight During Remarks at APAICS 30th Annual Gala (VIDEO)

Joe Biden Tuesday evening delivered remarks at the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies’ 30th Annual Gala in DC.

As usual, Biden’s speech was a disaster. He incoherently slurred through his brief remarks.

“They wanna undo what they finally got done — and then what we finally got done.. to make up for it. They wanted… they want to give power back to big pharma,” Biden said in an attempt to trash Republicans.

Biden trashed Trump and falsely claimed the former president told Americans to inject themselves with bleach during the Covid pandemic.

“Look, I’ll never forget him lying about the pandemic, telling Americans to inject bleach into their skin,” Biden said. “I wonder if he did it?”

“Might explain some things,” Biden said.

This is a lie. Trump never told people to inject themselves with bleach.

President Trump in an April 2020 presser was referring to discussions of testing ultraviolet light on patients and possibly using the light inside the body. “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it [the virus] out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning, cause you see it gets in the lungs.”

After mumbling through his speech, Joe Biden pretended to jump as he shuffled off stage.

Notice Biden’s stiffened gait as he exits the stage. He can barely walk.

“What a Pathetic Clown – He’s Like a Little Boy, What the Hell?” – Steve Bannon And Russ Vought React To RINO Speaker Mike Johnson Outside of Trump Trial (VIDEO)

Steve Bannon and Russ Vought discuss Speaker Johnson and the House Republicans.

Russ Vought, the President at Center for Renewing America, joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Tuesday morning as President Trump was held in court in his latest ongoing lawfare case.

President Trump was back in court on Tuesday as the never-ending Alvin Bragg show trial in New York City prevents him from campaigning across America.

The trial against Trump on still undefined criminal charges has gone on now for four weeks. This is the definition of election interference.

Of course, the mainstream legacy media lackeys are going along with this and reporting as if this unprecedented attack on Joe Biden’s political rival is something quite ordinary in American politics.

President Trump on Tuesday was flanked by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Cory Millis (R-FL) and turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson the worthless GOP House House leader who sides with Democrats and neglects his voting base on every issue possible.

Speaker Mike Johnson spoke to reporters from outside the courtroom this morning.

Steve Bannon and Russ Vought responded to the Louisiana RINO.

Steve Bannon: What a pathetic clown. I mean, come on, man. It is Tuesday, 14 May, 2024. Dude, You’ve got the ability to step in here and use your office like you should to begin a judiciary, to begin a real investigation, not up there regurgitating war room. We can regurgitate here fine. You’ve got the actual power. What are you doing?

I think Johnson just did this to trigger me today. I think he went up there, just came to the sticks. We’re going to continue to shine a light on it. We’re going to continue… Boy, I’d like to have Maria Bartaroma on here right now.

We’re going to continue to shine a light on it. We’re going to continue to send sharply worded letters. We’re going to continue to… He runs around, he’s like a little boy. What the hell? You think the Democrats roll like that? The reason the country is in the shape it’s in is the controlled opposition manifested and personified by that wimp right there. How dare you go up there into the middle of this and come out and just spew more nonsense!

Let’s cut to the chase. The donors don’t want you to have Trump’s back. That’s why you’re not having Trump’s back. They’re putting plenty of cash in back of you, $100 million, Paul Singer in this group. And Stephen Laws’ group just announced yesterday $70 million, seven zero, $70 million in back of Senate races. All the big Senate races Except for, wait for it, wait for it, Kari Lake. This is a complete – this is a scam this con is so obvious, and you have the audacity.

I hope that our beloved President, President Trump, finally getting a belly full of this because this is welfare. Russ Fote now joins me. We got other issues with the House and what trying to do, clearing the decks. But Russ, I got to ask you right here, brother, you’ve been at this game a long time. Is this outrageous? He goes up today and just gives more happy talk in front of this instead of being in Washington, DC, driving the action, sir.

Russ Vought:I mean, this is exactly what we are so frustrated with as a movement is that our leaders that have actual power don’t use that power on behalf of their own voters, their own movement. And so we just ended several leverage points of funding in which it would have been totally It’s really appropriate to defund all of this law fair going on. There were amendments to do it. People like Mike Davis wrote the language for these individuals, and they just refused to consider it.

They have no desire to ever use the tools, the powers, the leverage that they have at their disposal to actually accomplish their purposes. They, in fact, just come up with shiny objects and hamster wheels for themselves to walk on while the real battle plays out and the Democrats are never opposed. They’re setting another one of these things up over the next several months, and it’s vital that we get ahead of it…

…Steve, you laid it out really nicely. Here’s what people understand. The funding for the government that President Trump would take control over is provided this year. And so if you put terms on that funding, if you restrict it, we can’t get Mike Johnson to restrict funding not to go to these lawful initiatives. But if you allow the Uniparty to restrict his ability ability to accomplish his agenda this year, you have made it so that for the first year that he is in office, he does not have the ability or the freedom of action to be able to serve the American people based on what the election and the agenda that he wins on. And so right now, you’re seeing the development of a meme. It’s called clear the decks. And what clear the decks is, I see in every conversation I’m having here in Washington, DC, is, oh, we have to remove all of the leverage points of funding to get them done now with Democrats, by the way, because, of course, the House Democrats are, in fact, in control of the House of Representatives. Get those done now between now at the end of the year so that President Trump doesn’t have to deal with these issues.

But what they’re doing with that is that they are both removing his leverage points, but worse, they are kicking the funding past the election to have a big omnibus bill in which they will include all manner of poison pill amendments, poison pill riders that turn off his ability to govern the career civil servants, the bureaucrats, to have the ability to take an America first perspective when you have discretionary, consistent with the law. All of those things will be tucked in, and they will do it now, and they’ll say, Hey, look, we’re just trying to get our business done. If you hear, clear the decks, you have to be able to interpret it and realize it is an attempt against President Trump.

George Stephanopoulos Insists ‘The Deep State is Packed With Patriots,’ Makes Pitch Against Donald Trump (VIDEO)

By: Ben Kew

ABC News anchor and former Bill Clinton henchman George Stephanopoulos has claimed that the American deep state is “packed with patriots.”

Appearing on Tuesday’s edition of The View to promote his latest book, Stephanopoulos made the case for the deep state, a form of shadow government that wields immense power regardless of who is in the White House.

Here is a transcript of the exchange:

ALYSSAH FARAH GRIFFIN: The book is so good. My favorite thing is you interviewed Situation Room staff. I have always said it’s White House staff whose names you’ll never know are the writers of history. They will tell us so many details.

STEPHANOPOULOS: “That was my favorite part about doing the book. I interviewed about a hundred duty officers from the White House and these are people who come, they are relatively young people who come from all over the government, the CIA, the DIA, the Defense Department, military.

Some people like to call those people the deep state. Well, the big thing I learned doing this book is that the deep state is packed with patriots, people who go to work every single day and are on the frontlines of the most intense crises the country faces and do it to serve their country and to serve the presidency, not the president. They don’t care about political parties. They’re there to serve the presidency and the institution.

SUNNY HOSTIN: And they’re doing it anonymously.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Absolutely. As one of them told me…we serve in silence.

The Deep State used to be a right wing conspiracy theory according to the media.

Now you have George Stephanopoulos happily proclaiming on the View that “The Deep State is packed with patriots.”

At another point in the interview, Stephanopoulos also weighed in on the upcoming presidential election where he made a less than subtle pitch for Biden’s re-election.

“It is close right now, though I think the polls show [Trump is] ahead in the states that matter the most, largely because President Biden isn’t doing as well as last time with younger voters and Black voters,” Stephanopoulos said.

“I think the most important thing that people should understand about this election is how far from normal it is,” he continued. “We have never had a former president, presidential candidate who was impeached, then indicted for trying to overturn an election. Never in all of our history.”

In March, Donald Trump sued Stephanopoulos for defamation after he falsely called him a rapist during an interview with South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace. Given the severity of the accusation and the lack of evidence for his claim, it may well prove to be a costly mistake.

Former Top DOJ Official John Yoo Explains Why Michael Cohen’s Testimony Could Trigger Mistrial (VIDEO)

Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel John Yoo on Tuesday evening explained why Michael Cohen’s testimony could trigger a mistrial in Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush money’ lawfare case against Trump.

Trump was charged with 34 felony counts for paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in an alleged scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

There is no crime, but Alvin Bragg charged President Trump anyway.

John Yoo explained why bringing risky and unreliable witnesses such as Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen to the witness stand could trigger a mistrial.

Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen took the witness stand on Monday and Tuesday.

Michael Cohen played audio of a secret recording he took between himself and his then-client Donald Trump. Attorney-client privilege is a right for every American — except Donald Trump.

Last week Stormy Daniels blew it on the witness stand when she testified to irrelevant yet very salacious details about her sexual encounter with Trump that allegedly happened many years ago.

She was also reportedly making scripted jokes in the courtroom to win over the jury but nobody was laughing.

Yoo said the prosecution went too far last week with the Stormy Daniels testimony and relied too heavily on a convicted liar.

“Jim and I were both at the Justice Department… we would never have authorized a prosecution like this that was so dependent on someone who has been convicted of federal crimes for lying,” John Yoo said.

“Did we cross the Rubicon? Did we go after a former president for the first time in the history of this Republic, in 235 years, for this guy? For this kind of witness? For these kinds of charges?” he said.

IN HELL? Charles III Unveils Creepy First Oil Portrait of Him as King – And People Are Freaking Out

They say an image is worth a thousand words. If the image turns out to be an impactful high-end oil painting of one of the world’s most influential heads of state, it is probably worth many more words.

Britain’s King Charles III has a ‘new public face’, as he unveiled his first official portrait since his coronation last May.

The portrait was painted by artist Jonathan Yeo, and it depicts Charles against a background of ‘vivid red hues’ – maybe too vivid – wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards military unit, Charles was made Regimental Colonel of this regiment in 1975.

A butterfly flutters just above his right shoulder to complete the disturbing effect.

Reuters reported Yeo as saying:

“My aim was also to make reference to the traditions of Royal portraiture but in a way that reflects a 21st Century Monarchy and, above all else, to communicate the subject’s deep humanity.”

The portrait was unveiled at the Blue drawing room in Buckingham Palace.

It was commissioned back in 2020 to celebrate Charles’ 50 years as a member of the grant-giving body, The Drapers’ Company, in 2022, the palace said.

“Yeo’s past subjects have included British broadcaster and naturalist David Attenborough, Oscar-winning actor Nicole Kidman and former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The oil on canvas artwork, which measures about 8-1/2 by 6-1/2 feet, is expected to be displayed at Drapers’ Hall in the City of London – the capital’s financial district – from the end of August, the palace said.”

Hellish?

Commenters were not kind to the artwork, basically saying ‘it looks like he is in hell’. Even the NY Post called it the ‘ghostly-looking’ Charles portrait, but people went much harder.

Some asked if it was ‘all the blood on his hands?’, or said that they ‘100% thought this was satire’, called it ‘a little creepy’, ‘slightly disturbing’, ‘like he’s bathing in blood’.

“The portrait — which will ultimately hang in Drapers’ Hall — was commissioned in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales’s 50 years as a member of The Drapers’ Company in 2022.”

Foreign Policy Gaffes: Biden Insults US Allies

President Joe Biden and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bump fists at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah on July 15, 2022. Photo by Saudi Press Agency, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.

President Biden’s latest gaffe is that he insulted Japan and India by calling them xenophobic. But the US president has a history of insulting US allies and often demonstrates that he does not understand world affairs or the significance of the people he meets with.

When he was supposed to visit the UK last year on Good Friday, Biden chose Ireland over England, which upset Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. He also missed the coronation of King Charles III, which was a serious error considering the UK is the United States’ closest ally and has fought alongside us in nearly every conflict except Vietnam.

In February, he called Vladimir Putin a “crazy SOB.” Granted, Russia is not a US ally, but it is not normal behavior to hurl personal insults at world leaders. This is the sort of thing that makes it difficult to broker a peace deal in Ukraine. Similarly, Biden called Trump a clown and told him to “shut up.” The two are not friends, but with Biden at the helm, Democrats have lost the moral high ground. He also called a journalist from Fox News a “stupid son of a b-tch.”

When speaking at the G7, Biden mixed up Macron with Mitterrand, who died in 1996, and confused France with Germany. He told the leaders of the world’s richest countries, “And Mitterrand from Germany — I mean, from France…” When it looked as if the right-of-center candidate Giorgia Meloni would be elected as the new prime minister of Italy, Biden insinuated that right-wing candidates winning elections represent a breakdown in democracy. He warned, “You just saw what happened in Italy in that election. You’re seeing what’s happening around the world. The reason I bother to say that is, you can’t be sanguine about what’s happening here either.”

In March of this year, he insulted Hungary’s conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, stating that he “flatly doesn’t think democracy works and is looking for dictatorship.” Obviously, Orbán has never called for a dictatorship, but he has pushed back against unfettered globalism, prioritizing the needs of his country over the demands of the EU. A head of state prioritizing his own country sounds like a good idea, much like “America First”.

By far, the most egregious violation of diplomatic integrity has been Biden’s mishandling of relations with Saudi Arabia, the most powerful nation in the Middle East and one of the most vital regional allies of the United States. In 2019, during his campaign for the presidency, Biden called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a “pariah” state. He threatened, “We [are] going to, in fact, make them pay the price, and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are.”

Three years later, when gasoline had hit record highs, he crawled to the Kingdom to beg them to increase output and bring oil prices down. Before leaving the US, he downplayed the significance of the meeting, telling reporters that he was not traveling to the Middle East for the specific purpose of meeting with the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, but rather, that the two would both be attending a conference and might see each other casually. When the two met, rather than shaking hands, Biden offered the crown prince a fist bump.

If Biden were a social media influencer, then the fist bump would be considered a success because the image went viral. However, as the head of the most powerful nation on Earth, hoping to achieve diplomatic aims, it was a miserable failure that horribly offended the prince and the nation he represents.

One of the facts Biden forgets when he meets dictators or when he meets royalty is that they own everything. By contrast, the American president owns nothing—not even the limo he’s riding in or the house on Pennsylvania Avenue he lives in. Another point is that in eight months, or a maximum of four years and eight months from now, Biden will be retired, while dictators and royalty will continue to rule. They were there long before Biden became a signatory for the US government, and they will be there long after.

It would probably be easy for the man holding the most powerful position on earth to forget that he is a mere blip on the geopolitical timeline, but Biden seems to not even have considered this. He seems to actually believe that he, not the office, has the power.

Trump had been in the public spotlight since at least 1980. He was a self-made billionaire who regularly consorted with kings, queens, and heads of state, not as a public servant, but as an equal. This experience showed through in his handling of Putin, Xi Jinping, and the Saudis, as well as his ability to secure a meeting with Kim Jong Un.

Biden also seems to forget that the world is watching America through the internet. While speaking at a black college, he blamed white people. His habit of pandering to his audience makes him overlook the fact that those he insults are also watching. Like a campaigning politician, he wants to be able to say whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear in the moment and have it forgotten ten minutes later. But the world doesn’t work like that. Long before their meeting, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was well aware of Biden’s harsh remarks, labeling his country a pariah.

The Crown Prince was also aware that on that same trip to the Middle East, Biden shook hands with former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while he only fist bumped the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.

It comes as no surprise that Saudi Arabia did not help Biden bring down gas prices.

In addition to not doing what the US wants them to do, several world leaders have snubbed Biden. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the U.A.E.’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan both declined to speak with Biden in March 2022. Similarly, Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador refused to attend the US-hosted Summit of the Americas that year because the administration had excluded Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. Most recently, Jordan canceled the US summit with Arab leaders when Biden prioritized visiting Israel.

Whether casual or coincidental, Biden insults US allies, and now the US is involved in conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, while trying to maintain the defense of Taiwan and keep a lid on the chaos in Haiti. Additionally, the US is attempting to prevent Africa from collapsing under the re-emergence of ISIS and Boko Haram.

EXCLUSIVE: Congressman Jeff Van Drew Speaks to The Gateway Pundit During Trump’s MASSIVE Mega Rally in Wildwood, NJ: “America is Going to Be Born Again, Man”

President Donald J. Trump speaks to over 100,000 supporters in Wildwood, New Jersey

Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), the Chairman of Trump’s presidential campaign in New Jersey, spoke to The Gateway Pundit on Saturday during President Trump’s mega rally, which reportedly drew over 100,000 supporters to Wildwood Beach in New Jersey.

Original estimates for the event’s crowd size were a staggering 40,000. However, OVER 100,000 turned out for President Trump.

Similarly, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Rep. Van Drew said that 100,000 supporters signed up for tickets to President Trump’s Wildwood rally in 2020!

More from Dan Scavino on X:

Van Drew told The Gateway Pundit that these people are "tired of it all" from the Biden Regime, and New Jersey will be Trump country in 2024.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump is even making a comeback in the polls in New York, a state where Democrats have won by double digits in every presidential election since 1988! As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump declared, during his speech, that he is “going to officially play” and win in blue states like New Jersey, Minnesota, and Virginia.

Prior to the President's speech and before the actual number of attendees was known, Congressman Van Drew spoke to The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson to share what this massive rally and Biden's failed agenda means for New Jersey in 2024.

Watch below:

Conradson: There's got to be more than 40,000 people here. Do you think Joe Biden could ever pull a crowd like this in any state?

Van Drew: Never. These are people who believe in America. They're here because they believe in American exceptionalism. They believe in the shining city on the hill. They are not here to save the Republican Party. They are here to save the very Republic itself. They're people, men and women from across the gamut, all walks of society, all endeavors, but they believe in this great country, and so do I. And you know what they know? They know that Donald Trump does as well. They want to save us, and that's what we're doing today. It’s a great day; feel the energy. I wish everybody, there's so many people here, but you can feel the Americanism and the American exceptionalism and the joy and the love that's here today.

Conradson: We saw this just four years ago, the same venue, the same type of crowd. I saw up here it says “New Jersey is Trump Country.” Is that going to reign true here in 2024?

Van Drew: It's gonna reign true. Recent polls have shown that Donald Trump is closing in. People here are paying high taxes, they're tired of it. They're tired of open borders and illegals coming in and using our resources up. They're tired of the corruption in the Biden administration. They are tired of people trying to take Donald Trump and remove him from the ballot, trying to impeach him, trying to phony up law cases against him that aren't true. They're just tired of it all. They want a fair election, and they want to save America.

Conradson: Speaking of illegal immigration, I come from Arizona, where we have illegals all over the place. I never expected to see it out here in New Jersey, in New York, you know, flooding the streets, stealing the taxpayers dollars. What do the people of New Jersey think about the illegals that are overrunning their state under Biden's watch?

Van Drew: They know that is money that would go to take care of veterans, that money that would go to put into our Social Security fund, that would go into Medicare, that would go into our defense — all good things. That money is going to illegal immigrants to pay for their transportation, to pay for their housing, to pay for their medical care, and in some cases to subsidize their college education. People can't afford to educate their own kids, and they're working two and three jobs. Come on! I believe in America, and it is America first. That's a great thing. And it's good. You know what? They try to make MAGA a bad thing. MAGA, Make America Great Again. What the hell was wrong with that? That is great. America is great. America is a gift from God. Look around you, look at these big blue skies, look at the beautiful ocean off the east coast here. God has given us a gift. Let us not squander it. Let us keep it.

Conradson: And we see what they're trying to do with Trump, trying to take him off the ballot, trying to put him in prison. What kind of impact is that having on the voters in New Jersey? Do they see through the noise?

Van Drew: I think they do see through the noise. There is a backlash. They tried to impeach him; it didn't work. Then they tried to take him off the ballot; totally illegal and didn't work. I guess they learned that from Putin in Russia. Then they are trying now to really create these phony cases that are nothing burgers. There's nothing there. But they're just trying to stop him from being able to campaign. They are deathly afraid of telling the truth. They don't want to hear the truth. They don't want the swamp and the cesspool that's Washington, DC, to be revealed. But we're going to reveal it. America is going to be born again, man. We are going to fight to make sure that we keep this Republic.

Harry and Meghan’s Charity Declared ‘Delinquent’ in California, Must Stop Spending and Fundraising Immediately

By: Ben Kew

A charity set up by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, has been declared “delinquent” in the state of California and must stop raising or spending money with immediate effect.

According to Page Six, the charity has failed to submit annual reports and pay the necessary fees in order to qualify for charitable status:

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s charity foundation has been declared delinquent and ordered to stop raising or spending money, Page Six can reveal.

The royal duo have let the official registration fees for their charity, Archewell, lapse since at least the beginning of May, according to an official letter from California’s attorney general, Rob Bonta.

The document states that Archewell has been listed as “delinquent” with the registry of charities and fundraisers for failing to submit its annual report and its registration fees.

The note adds, “An organization that is listed as delinquent is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds.”

The ruling will come as another blow to the couple’s reputation, which has nosedived since they decided to give up Royal duties and move to Hollywood to cash in on their names and pursue left-wing activism.

Donations to Archewell collapsed by a staggering $11 million between 2021 and 2022, although the couple still managed to find money to give their right-hand man, James Holt, a staggering 280 percent pay rise.

Last year, the couple were dropped by Spotify from their their $20 million podcasting and were consequently denounced as “f**king grifters” by company executive and The Ringer founder Bill Simmons.

The couple has just finished a tour of Nigeria where they styled themselves as royal ambassadors, despite having no working role with the family. At one point, Markle described Nigeria as “my country,” even though it was the first time that she had visited.

“I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you’ve all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country… my country,” she said. “I am just flattered and honored and inspired. It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived, and I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour, so I can fit in with all of you and your incredible fashion.”

Northwestern University Journalism Professor Says the Quiet Part Out Loud “Our Work is Not About Objectivity”

Northwestern University Journalism Instructor Steven Thrasher /Image: @thrasherxy/X

Northwestern University has already signaled its willingness to cave to radical behavior.

The Gateway Pundit reported that the university recently announced their concessions to the radical Hamas supporters who took over their campus to end their protests and encampment.

Two of the most notable include the promise to offer full-ride scholarships to Palestinian students and the guarantee of faculty jobs for Palestinian academics.

The University will also provide special housing for Muslim students and will “advise employers not to rescind job offers for students engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment.”

However, it seems that at least one professor’s behavior is concerning enough that the school has launched an investigation.

Journalism instructor Steven Thrasher is being investigated after a clash with police at an anti-Israel demonstration in April, where he actively encouraged students to resist law enforcement.

Even more troubling was the content of a speech he gave to students at the pro-Hamas encampment, “Our Work is Love,”  which was posted online. In his remarks,  he dismissed the need for a commitment to objectivity for journalists and also referred to Ahmed Hassan, the son of a Houthi youth minister, as a “comrade.”

“To the Medill students and journalists within ear shot, I say to you: our work is not about objectivity. Our work is not about ‘scooping’ one another. Our work is about you putting your brilliant minds to work, and opening your compassionate hearts, and linking your arms together understanding all of our fates are interconnected.”

Steven Thrasher, the chair of social justice in reporting at @MedillSchool, just posted the text of the speech he gave in the encampment. For the blocked (there are many), here are some excerpts. And by the way, the Hassan Zaid he mentions was a Houthi official. pic.twitter.com/VWntX8qjf2

Thrasher’s “comrade” Hassan consistently posts anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-Jewish sentiments on social media.

The College Fix reports:

Hassan sees many other allies beyond American college campuses, according to screenshots compiled by The Fix.

Hassan recently shared a post in Arabic that said, “May God be satisfied with Hamas” and wrote “Hamas is winning.”

The terrorist group killed around 1,200 people, including small children, raped women, and took hundreds of hostages during its October 2023 attack on Israel.

“Israel is losing,” Hassan posted on April 6. “Soon enough, it will ask all the citizens to join the army[.] Hamas will end them all[.]”

In other posts, Hassan wrote “Hezbollah” with a supportive heart emoji and posted pictures of the flag of the Lebanese group, which has killed hundreds of Americans.

Hassan also reacted positively to a post celebrating “solidarity” between Iran and Yemen against Israel and reposted a user who said, “Love live Ansar Allah,” a reference to the Houthi rebels.

BIDEN BORDER BLOODBATH: Illegal Alien From El Salvador Murders West Virginia Woman by Lighting Her on Fire

Joe Biden’s America.

An illegal alien from El Salvador who entered the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation was arrested in the murder of a 33-year-old West Virginia woman.

David Antonio Calderon, 46, was arrested in Virginia after authorities found an unidentified woman on a burning couch in a field in Martinsburg.

“Early findings from the state Medical Examiner’s Office point to burn injuries as the likely cause of death.” West Virginia News reported.

According to police, Calderon, who went by the nickname “Amigo,” also attacked two homeless people with a baseball bat in April.

“Two days after the woman’s body was found, Calderon was stopped by police in his vehicle in Frederick County and arrested on the malicious assault warrants. Calderon, who goes by the nickname “Amigo,” allegedly attacked two homeless people with a baseball bat behind a Walmart in Charles Town, West Virginia, according to court documents. The two victims suffered serious injuries and were transported to Winchester Medical Center where they were determined to have sustained broken bones and concussions.” The Winchester Star reported.

Calderon was denied asylum in Canada in 2023 and turned over to US Customs and Border Protection agents. Border Patrol released Calderon and he went on to murder an innocent American.

Calderon is being held at the Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center in Virginia as he awaits extradition to West Virginia.

VIDEO: Biden Slurs Incoherently While Speaking About Electric Car Charging Stations

Joe Biden on Tuesday incoherently slurred through a speech announcing new tariffs on $18 billion worth of Chinese exports.

Watch below.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Joe Biden announced tariffs on $18 billion worth of Chinese exports, including electric vehicles, chips, batteries, and other goods on Tuesday. Biden previously criticized Trump’s tariffs and promised to reverse them.

When asked about President Trump’s comments outside the New York City courthouse before his day in court for the Biden/Bragg hush money witch hunt, Biden attempted to zing Trump but failed miserably.

Joe Biden Tries to Troll Trump After Announcing New Tariffs on China – But Fails Miserably (VIDEO)

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that President Trump spoke outside the courthouse and slammed Biden's electric vehicle mandate, outlining the consequences that American autoworkers are facing. He was joined by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Cory Millis (R-FL), former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson, the worthless GOP House House leader who sides with Democrats and neglects his voting base on every issue possible.

Donalds, Mills, and Ramaswamy spoke to the press earlier during the trial to condemn the weaponization of justice against Donald Trump and the testimony of convicted perjurer Michael Cohen.

"China is eating our lunch right now," said Trump:

During Biden's speech responding to Trump's promise to impose tariffs on China and bring American manufacturing back to the States, Biden was completely incoherent while trying to say, "Electric charging stations have to be as easy to find as a gas station."

This comes more than two years after Congress gave Joe Biden $7.5 billion to install electric vehicle chargers all over the country. As The Gateway Pundit reported in December 2023, not one charger had been installed. According to RNC Research, just eight have been installed as of today.

Biden promised to use billions of dollars to build hundreds of thousands of EV chargers.

The W.H.O. “Pandemic Treaty” WILL be Negotiated in Secret! Our Sovereignty is Under Attack, as a Loophole is Uncovered (VIDEO)

The power-hungry global elites are telling the world they have “watered down” the Pandemic Treaty that will hand over pandemic response to The World Health Organization.

Do NOT believe them.

WHO globalists are in the process of duping the 194 member nations into a sense of security before they quietly pounce.

There has been tremendous pushback after many of us sounded the alarm. Once we realized the original proposed treaty would give the W.H.O. the power to mandate lockdowns, vaccines, and vaccine passports in response to a so-called “pandemic,” we started a massive campaign to expose the plot. If passed and ratified by the U.S., it would give foreign bureaucrats wide-ranging power over us. That is unacceptable.

Reports are emerging that The W.H.O. elites plan on using back-room secret negotiations to slip back in the original language to include the ability to lock us down and enforce global mandates.

If the back-room dealing is unsuccessful, The Daily Mail is reporting these medical oligarchs will try to use their annual “Convention of Parties” to amend the treaty to include the widest range of damaging, overreaching tyrannical policies.

One of the world’s foremost experts on the pandemic response and how these globalists partnered with Big Pharma to wage war on the world is epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch.

He has made it his mission to expose the COVID Bio-weapon plot and those responsible for it. He is our guest.

FRENCH CHAOS: Armed Gang Members Attack Prison Convoy, Kill 2 Guards, Wound Another 3, and Free Dangerous Drug Trafficker ‘The Fly’ (VIDEO)

Post-colonial fading power France is in a constant state of turmoil. La Republique is bracing itself for the hosting of the 2024 Summer Olympics in 73 days.

‘Le Petit Roi’ Emmanuel Macron, former Rothschild banker and Globalist Poster Boy, runs around the world pretending he is relevant, trying to make people forget he just presided over the expulsion of France from all the African Sahel former colonies.

Back home, society is ailing from the usual mix of failed, crippling European policies: unchecked mass migration deforming the social fabric, green climate alarmism, welfare state killing free enterprise, the rampant culture of death enshrining abortion in the constitution and now pushing for euthanasia.

Just last year, Macron changed the citizens’ pension rules by decree, generating a season of protest, because the French state is broke. But now, of course, he finds billions upon billions of Euros to give Ukraine, and pushes to send European troops into the war.

Meanwhile, crime is thriving, and the forces of order look more frail every day.

A dangerous drug Lord who was a prisoner is now on the run in France. He escaped after an attack that left two prison guards dead.

He was being transported in a prison van when heavily armed and hooded gang members ambushed the convoy.

Sky News reported:

“The escaped prisoner is Mohamed Amra, who is nicknamed ‘La Mouche’, or ‘The Fly’, according to reports by French media. The 30-year-old is a drug dealer from northern France, police sources said.”

3 prison guards were killed and the gang leader managed to escape. The gunmen seemed to be armed with a carbine and rifles.

The Fly is suspected of ordering a murder in Marseille and has ties to the city’s powerful “Blacks” gang.

“He was under high surveillance and had recently been sentenced for burglary. He was also under investigation for a kidnapping and homicide case in Marseille, according to public prosecutor Laure Beccuau.

However, he was not considered a ‘radicalized’ prisoner, according to police sources speaking to French newspaper Le Figaro.”

French authorities dropping the ball at every turn.

A father of 2 children and a future father, whose wife is 5 months pregnant, lost their lives in the attack.

French authorities are being harshly criticized for ignoring the safety of the agents responsible for transporting dangerous detainees linked to Marseille drug trafficking in non-armored vans.

He was in solitary confinement after an escape attempt in which he tried to saw through his cell bars.

“Amra was being transported in a van to Evreux jail in Normandy after a court hearing in Rouen, about 35 miles away, when it was ambushed by heavily armed men.

Two male prison officers were shot dead and three others were seriously injured during the attack, which happened on a motorway around 9am local time.”

Hundreds of police officers have been mobilized in a major manhunt.

WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy, Rep. Byron Donalds and Rep. Cory Mills Speak Outside Manhattan Court House, Slam Crooked Judge, Biden Regime, and Convicted Perjurer Michael Cohen

President Trump was back in court on Tuesday as the never-ending Alvin Bragg show trial in New York City prevents him from campaigning across America.

The trial against Trump on still undefined criminal charges has gone on now for four weeks. This is the definition of election interference.

Of course, the mainstream legacy media lackeys are going along with this and reporting as if this unprecedented attack on Joe Biden’s political rival is something quite ordinary in American politics.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Trump was joined by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Cory Millis (R-FL), former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson, the worthless GOP House House leader who sides with Democrats and neglects his voting base on every issue possible.

Before his day in court, Trump slammed Democrats’ political persecutions as a substitute for campaigning and the far-left judge’s gag order against him by reading quotes others’ quotes as he did yesterday:

President Trump Speaks to Reporters Before Lawfare Show Trial: Governor Burgum, Rep. Donalds, Rep. Cory Mills, Vivek Ramaswamy and Speaker Johnson Join Him in Court Today – VIDEO

Donalds, Mills, and Ramaswamy spoke to the press earlier during the trial to condemn the weaponization of justice against Donald Trump and the testimony of convicted perjurer Michael Cohen.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Cohen took the stand Tuesday in what many are calling a theatrical performance in the sham Biden/Bragg hush money trial and admitted to lying to Congress and serving prison time, all in a bid to shield the man he now accuses: President Donald Trump.

Watch below:

Vivek Ramaswamy: So this is a shame, shame on the spirit of our country's history, but we will get through it and be stronger because you know, who ultimately actually casts the vote on this case? It's not just the jurors in that jury box. It's every one of you at home. It's every American who votes this November to say no to the weaponization of justice. And if you're at home, you may say you know what, I don't agree with everything Donald Trump's ever said. You know what, I may not agree with some of his policies even, even though they were great policies for four years, but you do agree, whether you are Democrat, or Republican, or black, or white, or gay, or straight, or man, or woman, that our justice system should be blind to politics, that regardless of whether your last name is Biden or Trump, regardless of whether you've been a politician or not, you get a fair shake in our legal system.

Rep. Byron Donalds(R-FL): Ladies and gentlemen of America, this trial is a joke. This thing is a farce. We were in there all morning. Michael Cohen basically sat there and said, Yeah, he invoiced legal expenses. The Trump Organization, not the campaign, paid out money in legal expenses. Where's the crime? There is no crime. The only crime that's happening here is this Democrat judge and the Democrat Party prosecuting their political rival, right in the middle of a presidential election. The crime here is that the issues facing our nation are not being addressed by the Democrats, but they want to go after Donald Trump. And there's nothing wrong. There's nothing that has been wrong here. Nothing that has been done poorly by President Trump. The only thing that's being done wrong is by this judge. His daughter is making money, raising money for Democrats, and all of the fundraising emails and all the fundraising things are about this trial that his daughter is using? He won't recuse himself?

This is a travesty of justice. This is a misuse of the justice system. And look around New York. New York's got plenty of issues. I'm from Brooklyn, New York. You have all of NYPD’s finest down here because of this travesty going on in that courtroom. Meanwhile, the citizens of New York are less safe, and the district attorney in New York is not prosecuting real crime. He's a Soros-backed DA going after his chief political rival. Donald Trump. America is better than this. And so unfortunately, it's going to take the American people this November to let their voices be heard on this travesty of justice that's occurring and making sure that Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States. I've never seen anything like it. This is a joke. It is a farce. It is a travesty. We are better than this as Americans. Unfortunately, the Democrat Party has lost their ever-loving minds. And so it's going to take the American people to remind them that justice is supposed to be blind. It is not supposed to be going after political opponents and political rivals.

Rep Cory Mills (R-FL): What did we learn here today? What we've learned is that Michael Cohen, who has no credibility, who has purged himself multiple times, who has zero integrity, has actually admitted to defrauding the Trump Organization. He has listed his invoice as being actual legal precedence, where, in fact, he's now claiming that it's something other than that and that he knowingly and fraudulently put that forward. Look, as we talked about, why do they want this trial to continue? Well, they want it to continue because this is the fundraising source for Adam Schiff, for Biden, and for the Democrat opponents. This is nothing more than election interference at its finest.

You are seeing where the weaponization of what was the Department of Justice, now the Department of Injustice, has continued to be utilized against the American people and against the President of The United States. I will tell you right now, the same way that I stand here, steadfast behind our president, I know that America stands with them as well. They see this sham indictment. They see this for what it is without any actual substance whatsoever. Keep in mind, they keep actually talking about the FEC violations. But when you're utilizing personal funds or utilizing a trust, that is not campaign funding there is no violation, which is why the FEC never actually even pursued this. And so, I think the American people see this for what it is. They want to keep President Trump off the campaign trail. They're seeing what's happening in the swing states across America. And they're seeing exactly that this is draining down assets and resources that can be utilized by the President to continue to forge ahead to build a stronger economy, to secure our border, and to get our nation back on track. This is a sham, and that is the only thing this is Michael Cohen has no credibility, no integrity, and this is weaponization against our president.

Taxpayer Funds at Play: Secretary Blinken Rocks Out in Kyiv, Singing “Rocking to the Free World” to Ukrainians As Russian Troops Advance on Kharkiv (VIDEO)

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken took to the stage in Kyiv, belting out Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” at Barman Dictat, an underground cocktail bar and music venue, while Russian troops continue their advance in northeastern Ukraine.

Is this the best use of American tax dollars during an international crisis?

“The coming weeks and months will demand a great deal of Ukrainians, who have already sacrificed so much. I’ve come to Ukraine with a message: You are not alone,” Blinken said during a speech at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 13 News Now reported.

“We sometimes hear that time is on Putin’s side,” Blinken added. “That Russia’s bigger population, Putin’s willingness to throw more Russians into the meat grinder of his making, and sink more of Russia’s resources into trying to subjugate Ukraine means that Russia can’t lose.”

“In fact, Russia’s been losing the battle to control Ukraine’s destiny for 20 years. And Putin has it wrong – time is on Ukraine’s side,” he said. “As the war goes on, Russia is going back in time. Ukraine is moving forward.”

His words, however, have been overshadowed by a bizarre incident later that evening.

In a surreal twist, Blinken took to the stage at a local bar called The Barman, joining a band to cover Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.”

The video of the performance, which quickly went viral, shows the top US diplomat rocking out as Russian forces continue to make significant gains in northeastern Ukraine.

Gen. Mike Flynn weighed in, saying, “This isn’t cool nor diplomatic…it is complete jackassery! How dare he play games while soldiers and civilians die and our billions of our U.S. tax dollars get wasted! Total BS!!!”

They’re laughing in our faces while taking our money. Instead of strategic planning, Blinken is unwinding on taxpayers’ dime.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the north front opened by Russia in the Kharkov oblast continues to overextend the already outgunned, outmanned and outmaneuvered Ukrainian forces that try to hold the ‘Northern Wind’ without losing any more terrain in Eastern Donetsk region.

With the Russian Federation forced probing several points along the 600-mile long frontline, it is increasingly clear that the defenders are very near a collapse of their lines.

This is especially if this bit of information that has arisen gets confirmed: it says current advances in Kharkov would be just a ‘reconnaissance in force’ and the real attack operation is still to be unleashed.

The information comes from retired Ukrainian SBU colonel Oleg Starikov. According to him, the main forces will be brought into battle only after a bridgehead has been created.

US secretary of state Anthony Blinken arrived today (14) in Kyiv for a speech. US officials are reportedly ‘working to speed up the delivery’ of the approved aid.

Top little, too late?

The focus point right now is the small Kharkov city of Vovchansk/Volchansk. 6,000 people have evacuated it since Friday, fleeing a second Russian advance after more than two years.

Speaker Mike Johnson appeared at the New York courthouse on Tuesday in support of Trump as Biden’s goons use lawfare to interfere in the 2024 election.

AP reporter Aamer Madhani asked KJP if it was appropriate that Mike Johnson defended Trump from Biden’s lawfare.

“Was it appropriate for Speaker Johnson to show up at the trial of the former president, today?” a hack reporter for the Associated Press asked Karine Jean-Pierre.

Karine Jean-Pierre admitted the Biden-led lawfare trial against Trump is “related to 2024 elections.”

“So, look, I can’t speak to — uh — um — I don’t want to comment. Obviously, as this is related to 2024 elections, and I can’t speak to the speaker’s schedule. That is something for him to decide on and let’s not forget, this is also connected to a independent judicial process. So, going to be really mindful and he makes his choices on what he does, Um — um — you know, with his business that is his choice to be made,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Joe Biden is behind Alvin Bragg’s lawfare trial against Trump.

Alvin Bragg’s top prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a top DOJ official that Joe Biden sent to New York in 2022 to take down Trump – was paid by the DNC for ‘political consulting.’

Matthew Colangelo previously worked in the Justice Department (Biden appointee) and is a lifelong left-wing activist.

It was also revealed that Colangelo was paid $12,000 by the DNC in 2018.

“According to Federal Election Commission records reviewed by Fox News Digital, DNC Services Corp/Democratic National Committee paid Colangelo twice on Jan. 31, 2018. Colangelo was given two payments of $6,000, for a total of $12,000.” Fox News reported.

Former Obama Campaign Official and Her Wife Killed in Horrific Car Accident

Tragedy struck as a former Obama campaign worker, and her wife lost their lives in a horrific car accident in California last week.

NBC Bay Area news reported Monday that Peggy Moore and her wife Hope Wood were killed while riding along in the Jeep pickup when it collided with a Chrysler sedan in rural San Diego County at about 11:15 p.m. Friday. The 60-year-old driver of the Jeep, along with the Chrysler’s driver, were also killed.

One passenger in the Jeep managed to survive the accident.

The medical examiner at the scene only identified Wood, 48, but a Facebook post on Sunday by the East Bay Stonewall Democratic Club revealed they died together in the crash. The 60-year-old Moore previously served as the president of the club.

“We at East Bay Stonewall Democratic Club are devastated to hear of the passing of our past President Peggy Moore and her wife, Hope Wood. Moore was a force of change in Oakland and the East Bay,” the post read.

According to her LinkedIn page, the 60-year-old Moore previously managed the 2014 campaign of former Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, worked as a senior consultant on Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton’s campaign, and was the Political Director for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential primary campaign in California.

NBC Bay Area notes Moore and Wood met while campaigning for Barack Obama in 2008. Moore was working as the Northern California Deputy Field Director for the campaign at the time.

In 2019, the couple founded Hope Action Change, an organizational development consultancy and coaching firm.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) remembered Wood and Moore as “remarkable women” passionate about equality and social justice in an X post on Tuesday:

“Peggy Moore & Hope Wood were remarkable women who dedicated their lives to equality & justice,” Lee wrote. Their values brought them together & are the legacy they leave behind. Their family & friends are hurting, but we must remember we are all connected through the work they did every day.”

Mayor Eric Adams Proposes Hiring Illegal Immigrants as Lifeguards to Address NYC Shortage, Because ‘They’re Excellent Swimmers’ (VIDEO)

Mayor Eric Adams has once again ignited controversy with his latest comments on the city’s lifeguard shortage. The mayor has suggested that illegal immigrants could be the solution to New York City’s staffing woes, specifically because “they’re excellent swimmers.”

This eyebrow-raising connection was made by Mayor Adams during a City Hall briefing when pressed about the challenges facing the city’s beaches and pools. With Memorial Day approaching and no clear resolution in sight, Adams proposed expediting migrant work visas for these critical roles.

“How do we have a large body of people that are in our city, our country, that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards — and the only obstacle is that we won’t give them the right to work to become a lifeguard,” the mayor said. “That just doesn’t make sense.”

Mayor Adams didn’t stop at lifeguards. He extended his unconventional recruitment strategy to the healthcare sector, suggesting that any illegal alien who claims nursing experience should be fast-tracked into hospital positions to combat the city’s nursing crisis.

“If we had a plan that said, ‘If there was a shortage of food service workers and those who fit that criteria, we’re going to expedite you,’ if you have experience that you are a nurse and we have a nursing shortage, we would expedite you,” Adams proposed.

Critics argue that Mayor Adams is not only incentivizing illegal immigration but also stereotyping migrants in a way that could be construed as racist.

That has to be a joke. Like the question of why doesn’t Mexico have a good Olympic Team? Everyone who can run, jump, or swim is already in the US.

Lol imagine if someone said black people should be in charge of all the chicken restaurants. Honestly the ones who cry loudest about racism are by far the most racist people on earth.
