Even though a growing number of Western elites are awakening to the reality that Ukraine is headed for defeat and will drag NATO along with it, the so-called intellectual cognoscenti of foreign policy, like the editorial board of the NY Times, continue to indulge fantasies and delusions. They conclude a Sunday editorial pleading for more money for Zelensky and the losing cause with this:
Mr. Trump and his followers may argue that the security of Ukraine, or even of Europe, is not America’s business. But the consequence of allowing a Russian victory in Ukraine is a world in which authoritarian strongmen feel free to crush dissent or seize territory with impunity. That is a threat to the security of America, and the world.
The Washington and New York establishments continue to insist that Vladimir Putin is an “authoritarian strongman.” I have one word of advice — look in the damn mirror and pay attention to what is happening in the United States before you mount your moral high horse and gallop off to lecture other countries on democracy and human rights.
“For political prisoners, the situation is often worse, because the state aims to additionally punish them, or additionally isolate them from the world, or do everything to break their spirit,” Vaypan said. His group counts 680 political prisoners in Russia.
In the three years since the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, federal prosecutors have charged more than 1,265 defendants across nearly all 50 states and D.C. and secured sentences of incarceration for more than 460 people, according to newly released numbers from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C.
In remarks Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland described the Justice Department’s sprawling probe of the Capitol attack as “one of the largest and most complex and resource-intensive investigations in our history.”
None of these numbers capture the lawfare assault on former President Trump and many of the people who served in key positions during his administration. The Biden Administration routinely chastises many other countries — most recently India — for prosecuting political opponents. Talk about lack of self-awareness and irony.
So spare me the nonsense about Russia being a soul crushing attack on personal liberty while claiming the United States is the bastion of freedom and justice. It is a lie. And I say that without delving into the Federal Government’s collaboration with social media to attack conservatives and censor articles and persons who are not in line with Biden’s woke agenda, as thoroughly documented by the reporting of Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi. Then there is the proven case of the Biden Administration’s attack on scientists and physicians who challenged the specious CDC claims and remedies for COVID is just another glaring example of the putrid authoritarianism emanating from Washington, DC.
Here is part two of my discussion with Nima. We focus on the implications for NATO and Secretary of State Blinken’s crazy claim that Ukraine will get to join the NATO club.

Brazilian tyrannical Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes and X owner Elon Musk
The conflict between technology magnate Elon Musk and Brazilian authorities intensified when Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes initiated an investigation into Musk over potential obstruction of justice and incitement to crime.
The dispute centers on Musk’s announcement that he would reactivate blocked social media accounts on platform X, which he owns, in defiance of an unconstitutional judicial order.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday that the Global Government Affairs team of X Corp issued a statement expressing their forced compliance with Brazilian court decisions to block certain accounts, citing a lack of transparency and due process in these orders.
The statement highlighted the company’s commitment to challenging these orders legally, advocating for the principles of freedom of speech and transparency within the Brazilian constitution.
X’s Global Government Affairs said in a statement:
X Corp. has been forced by court decisions to block certain popular accounts in Brazil. We have informed those accounts that we have taken this action.
We do not know the reasons these blocking orders have been issued.
We do not know which posts are alleged to violate the law.
We are prohibited from saying which court or judge issued the order, or on what grounds.
We are prohibited from saying which accounts are impacted.
We are threatened with daily fines if we fail to comply.
We believe that such orders are not in accordance with the Marco Civil da Internet or the Brazilian Federal Constitution, and we challenge the orders legally where possible.
The people of Brazil, regardless of their political beliefs, are entitled to freedom of speech, due process, and transparency from their own authorities.
Elon Musk announced that X would lift all imposed restrictions, despite acknowledging the financial repercussions, including the potential shutdown of X’s operations in Brazil.
“We are lifting all restrictions. This judge has applied massive fines, threatened to arrest our employees and cut off access to X in Brazil. As a result, we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit,” Musk said.
We are lifting all restrictions. This judge has applied massive fines, threatened to arrest our employees and cut off access to in Brazil.
As a result, we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there.
Musk also advocated for the judge’s resignation and labeling the account suspensions as unconstitutional. Musk pledged full disclosure of the demands made by Justice Moraes and accused him of betraying the Brazilian constitution and its people.
“Coming shortly, X will publish everything demanded by Alexandre and how those requests violate Brazilian law. This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached. Shame Alexandre, shame,” Musk wrote.
Coming shortly, will publish everything demanded by @Alexandre and how those requests violate Brazilian law.
This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached.
Justice Moraes, leading investigations into digital militias linked with the spread of disinformation under former President Jair Bolsonaro’s administration and an alleged coup attempt, has now included Musk in the inquiry, Reuters reported.
The justice’s firm stance was reflected in his warning that X must comply with the court’s orders or face a daily fine of 100,000 reais ($19,740).
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s regime, alongside Solicitor General Jorge Messias, has sided with Moraes, advocating the need to regulate social media networks to prevent foreign entities from violating Brazilian laws.
DC Draino said it best, “The Biden regime hates Elon Musk for allowing free speech in America. They want to arrest him and seize his company, but the Constitution won’t allow it. So what’s their workaround? Using a Marxist puppet gov’t in Brazil to try and arrest him instead The CIA and State Dept is direct involved. This is tyranny.”

Journalist Michael Shellenberger has more on this:
Three days ago I published the Twitter Files for Brazil. They show that Moraes has violated the Brazilian Constitution. Moraes illegally demanded that Twitter reveal private information about Twitter users who used hashtags he considered inappropriate. He demanded access to Twitter’s internal data, violating the platform’s policy. He censored, on his own initiative and without any respect for due process, posts on Twitter by parliamentarians from the Brazilian Congress. And Moraes tried to turn Twitter’s content moderation policies into a weapon against supporters of then-president Jair Bolsonaro.
I say this as an independent and non-partisan journalist. I’m not a fan of either Bolsonaro or Trump. My political views are very moderate. But I know censorship when I see it.
The Twitter Files also revealed that Google, Facebook, Uber, WhatsApp and Instagram betrayed the people of Brazil. If such evidence is proven, the executives of these companies behaved like cowards: they provided the Brazilian government with personal registration data and telephone numbers without a court order and, therefore, violating the law.
When Twitter refused to provide Brazilian authorities with private user information, including direct messages, the government attempted to sue Twitter’s top Brazilian lawyer.
When I lived in Brazil in 1992, I was very left-wing. At the time, Lula and the PT’s slogans were “Without fear of being happy”.
In recent days, I have spoken to dozens of Brazilians, including professors, journalists and respected lawyers. Everyone tells me they are shocked by what is happening. They told me that they are afraid to speak their mind and that the Lula government is complicit in creating this climate of fear.
Brazil belongs to the Brazilians. It is not my country. As such, there are limits to what I am capable of doing.
But I can say things that many Brazilians do not feel safe saying: Alexandre de Moraes is a tyrant. And the only way to deal with tyrants is to confront them. It is up to Brazil’s senators to confront the tyrant. And it is up to the people of Brazil to demand that their senators do so.
“We are… pushing back against the requests…”

A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) raises serious questions about the efficacy of Pfizer’s antiviral drug Paxlovid, which was previously authorized for emergency use to treat mild to moderate COVID-19 cases.
Paxlovid received emergency use authorization in December 2021 as the first at-home treatment for COVID-19 in the United States. It was touted as a cost-effective and efficient method to combat early COVID-19 infections.
Pfizer reported that Paxlovid significantly reduced the risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization or death by 88% in their press release.
The Gateway Pundit has been covering the inefficacy and adverse reactions associated with Pfizer’s antiviral drug.
Scientific documentation about post-Paxlovid relapse has been available since the fall of 2022. Pfizer’s application to the FDA for emergency use authorization of Paxlovid stated that in the placebo-controlled clinical trial — which included 2,246 participants — “several subjects appeared to have a rebound in SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels around Day 10 or Day 14” after beginning treatment, NBC reported.
Following this report, Pfizer released a statement admitting that it failed to reduce the risk of confirmed and symptomatic COVID-19 infection in adults living with someone who had been exposed to the virus.
“We designed the clinical development program for PAXLOVID to be comprehensive and ambitious with the aim of being able to help combat COVID-19 in a very broad population of patients,” said Albert Bourla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Pfizer.
“While we are disappointed in the outcome of this particular study, these results do not impact the strong efficacy and safety data we’ve observed in our earlier trial for the treatment of COVID-19 patients at high risk of developing severe illness, and we are pleased to see the growing global use of PAXLOVID in that population,” Bourla added.
It can be recalled that Paxlovid was increasingly linked to instances of rebound infections. Notably, several high-profile figures such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, and former CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky have reported experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19 symptoms following treatment with the drug.
The majority of these individuals had received two initial doses of the vaccine and two booster shots, with Dr. Walensky having received an additional third booster.
The Gateway Pundit also reported that Paxlovid can cause severe or life-threatening effects if it is taken in tandem with other common medications, including some anticoagulants, anti-depressants, and cholesterol-lowering drugs that are used widely across the US, according to a warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
When Joe Biden tested positive for Covid and started Paxlovid in July, Joe Biden’s doctor said he had stopped heart medications for Biden’s atrial fibrillation and high cholesterol due to his prescribing Paxlovid to treat Biden’s COVID infection. Atrial fibrillation can cause strokes and is treated by blood thinners to reduce the risk of stroke-causing blood clots being formed.
“His apixaban (ELIQUIS) and rosuvastatin (Crestor) are being held during PAXLOVID treatment and for several days after his last dose. During this time, it is reasonable to add low dose aspirin as an alternative type of blood thinner,” said Biden’s personal physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor.
In addition to the potentially dangerous drug combinations, the agency does not recommend that individuals with kidney or liver disease take the new drug because it could also cause complications.
Now, The Hill’s Amber Duke and Jessica Burbank have highlighted the discrepancy between the drug’s high cost and its actual effectiveness based on the new NEJM study.
The Biden regime’s investment of $12 billion in Paxlovid, against the backdrop of Pfizer selling $20 billion worth of the drug before these findings came to light, raises serious questions about the evaluation and promotion of COVID-19 treatments.
“Paxlovid, once considered a wonder drug to beat back COVID-19, may not be so mighty after all. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday suggests the antiviral drug does little or nothing for both fully vaccinated or unvaccinated people who have at least one risk factor for severe COVID. It did little to shorten the duration of symptoms,” said Duke.
“Adults who had confirmed COVID-19 with symptom onset in the past five days were randomly assigned with Paxlovid or a placebo to take every 12 hours for five days. Patients who were fully vaccinated against COVID and patients who had never been vaccinated against COVID were eligible for participation in the study. Now, shocking that a drug that costs $1,300 for a five course is showing in a randomized controlled trial to not really relieve COVID symptoms. That’s a lot of money to pay for something that provenly doesn’t work, it seems,” said Burbank.
Duke responded, “This is part of a larger trend of the medical community, and particularly big pharma, both taking advantage and repeatedly selling the American public a bill of goods when it came to COVID-19. They, of course, routinely mocked therapeutic treatments like Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, saying that they were a fish tank cleaner or horse dewormer, even though these medicines have been used for human treatment in different dosages for decades, and basically just wanted the government to pour all of its money into propping up the vaccine development among these big pharmaceutical companies. They didn’t want people to take possibly potentially effective therapeutics because they would take away from the desire for people to develop a vaccine. And then they had their own therapeutic treatments like Paxlivit, which doesn’t even work, and made $20 billion on it. It was just such a total racket from start to finish.”

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark broke every record imaginable this year in women’s AND men’s basketball.
• D-I scoring leader (3,951 pts)
• only D-I player w/ 3,500 pts, 1,000 ast & 850 reb in a career
• most pts in single season in D-I WBB (1,234)
• most 3pt in single season in D-I hist (201)
• most pts (491), ast (152), 3pt (78) in NCAAT in career
• only player w/ 40 pts, 10 ast in NCAAT gm (she has 2)
• only player w/ 30+ pt trip-dbl in NCAAT
• only D-I player to led CBB in pts & ast in single season 2x
• B1G all-time ast leader (1,144)
• only player w/ > 3 career 25+ pt trip-dbl (she has 10)
Caitlin Clark also brought excitement to the game of women’s basketball – something unimaginable before she entered college.
Look at how Caitlin compared to the rest of the women’s league in her performance.
Former women’s record holder Lynette Woodard trashed Clark’s all-time scoring record.
Male jocks have seen their records broken thanks to a series of rule changes over decades without displaying the level of jealousy we’ve seen Caitlin Clark ignite.
Woodard forgot to mention that she played against smaller schools when she was in college.
Caitlin may have a 3 point line but she didn’t play Wayne State, Delta State, Central Missouri, Northwest Missouri State, Grand View, Northwest Oklahoma State and Wayland Baptist for regular season games like you did. she would’ve broken your record a lot quicker if she did https://t.co/0g0SDB8p7w
The women would rather destroy Caitlin Clark than admit to her greatness.
Jason Whitlock may have offered Caitlin the most logical advice telling Caitlin to stay at Iowa for another year, make millions, and then bypass the WNBA and retire.
Caitlin Clark should return to Iowa next season, make about $20 million in NIL, retire from basketball, marry her boyfriend, and avoid the nastiness that awaits her in the WNBA. I’m not joking.
After America’s embarrassing surrender in Afghanistan, the US Military under Joe Biden has not been able to reach its recruiting goals.
During fiscal year 2023, the US military services collectively missed recruiting goals by about 41,000 recruits.
Meanwhile, the US military brass continues to push a culture of pro-DEI lunacy while targeting gays and minorities for promotion.
Then this video went viral.
The video shows the military’s treatment of USAF Senior Airman Lance Castle, a service member who refused the mandatory CV-19 vaccine.
The video shows Lance Castle being extracted from his cell.
Lance Castle was dubbed an “insider threat,” given 60 days pre-trial confinement (missed the birth of 1st born), and sent to a court martial to stand trial on 5 UCMJ Charges.
Via Mark Charles Bashaw, a medical professional, who was the first man convicted by a special court-martial in May 2022 for violating orders to comply with COVID-19 mitigation measures. Bashaw, a father of three, was also found guilty of failing to wear a mask indoors.
Bashaw continues to expose the truth about the military COVID mandates that ruined thousands of lives and injured hundreds of soldiers, sailors and Marines.
Mark Charles Bashaw posted these documents from Senior Airman Lance Castle’s case after his arrest.
Lance Castle was found NG or “Not Guilty” of all charges against him.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, where she boasted about improving relations with the communist nation.
After discussing economic and trade issues over the course of her visit, Yellen argued that the broader U.S.-China relationship was on the up.
“While we have more to do, I believe that, over the past year, we have put our bilateral relationship on more stable footing,” Yellen remarked during a meeting in the Fujian room of the Great Hall of the People on the west side of Tiananmen Square.
“As the world’s two largest economies, we have a duty to our own countries and to the world to responsibly manage our complex relationship and to cooperate and show leadership on addressing pressing global challenges,” Yellen continued.

During the Trump administration, relations with China entered a period of decline as he sought to push back against the communist nation’s path towards global hegemony. However, the Biden regime is far more sympathetic to Beijing than its precedessor.

At a press conference on Saturday, Yellen also revealed she had discussed the subject of the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Chinese leaders.
“We think there’s more to do, but I do see it as an area where we’ve agreed to cooperate and we’ve already seen some meaningful progress,” she said. “They understand how serious an issue this is to us.”
Last year, Yellen was widely criticized after bowing to her Chinese counterpart, something which her opponents described as symbolic of her attitude to the Asian superpower.

Since taking office in 2021, Yellen has also faced criticism for her remarks about inflation, which she insisted would be “transitory.”
Last month, she said she regretted using that choice of words, given that inflation has become part a major issue affecting the majority of Americans.
“I regret saying it was transitory,” she said at the time. “It has come down, but I think transitory means a few weeks or months to most people, and that — it’s lasted longer than that.”
J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel before and after a beating from prison guards.
J6 prisoner Ryan Samsel informed The Gateway Pundit this week that he was finally able to see a medical doctor after years of neglect.
Ryan has been locked up for over three years now under the Biden regime. Ryan entered the US Capitol grounds with Ray Epps. Epps never spent a day in prison for his actions directing the protesters that day.
Epps later lied to investigators about his actions on January 6. Some people have all the luck.
Dear Gateway Pundit Readers and American Supporters,
My name is Ryan Samsel. I am profoundly grateful for the unwavering support and assistance that many of you have provided me over this difficult time. Inspired by the kindness I have received, I am driven by the goal of cultivating a network of support groups, akin to the solidarity our forefathers displayed when faced with a common adversary.
In times of yore, communities would rally together in churches and taverns to face their common enemies. Today, we find ourselves under the scrutiny of large online media groups. Their efforts may have changed, but our fight for freedom remains the same. I have yearned for this freedom ever since the unfortunate experiences I have undergone. It is public knowledge that I was not alone during the incident at the gate involving Ray Epps and Officer Caroline Edwards. I was part of a group of approximately 300 individuals, yet I was the only one who pulled Officer Edwards to safety.
Despite being offered an opportunity to betray President Trump, I chose to remain steadfast. Unfortunately, in the aftermath of these events, I have been denied crucial medical treatments and surgeries, resulting in the loss of full use of my left arm and vision in my right eye. I suffer from longstanding blood clots, which are now a lifelong affliction.
However, I don’t write this letter to garner sympathy. Instead, I wish to inspire resilience in the face of adversity. No matter what life throws at you, you have a choice. You can either wallow in self-pity, or you can look in the mirror and challenge yourself to rise above your circumstances. I am currently in a situation where I may never see a sunrise again, or feel the sand under my feet. But I refuse to feel sorry for myself. I firmly believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way.
I have been placed in a cell without a toilet, but I have managed to use my ingenuity to communicate and receive necessities. I share these experiences not to evoke fear, but to emphasize the importance of bravery. I am afraid – of never seeing my loved ones again, of not having a child with the woman I love. But I understand that this country and its values are greater than any individual, including me.
I am truly grateful for the support I have received from Patrick Byrne, the author of “Danger Close.”He has generously offered to match donations up to $30,000. I am halfway towards my goal and I sincerely urge everyone to contribute whatever they can.
In addition to this, I invite everyone to follow THEEFFORT83 on Instagram. We are building a platform to unite the community, to build strength and structure within us. We post regular updates, motivational videos, health tips, and provide a space for networking with people who share our common belief – the freedom to live a happy, healthy life. I would also like to express my gratitude to Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft, and Alicia Powe, for their support and for upholding the freedom of speech.
Please do not donate to any organization on my behalf, as I have not received any legal or medical help from them. I have attached a copy of one of my many bills, which all organizations have declined to assist with.
In conclusion, I implore you to support me in any way you can. Share this message with your friends and family. Write a letter of support to Judge Jia Cobb. We need to remind her that we are better, we don’t destroy our cities or resort to violence, we win the right way. Thank you so much for your continued support.
Please check out my upcoming podcast, THE EFFORT, and consider reading “Danger Close” by Patrick Byrne. Both are sure to be eye-opening. Thank you and God bless you.
Brazilian tyrannical Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes on the day of his inauguration to Supreme Court – Poder360
The conflict between tech magnate Elon Musk and Brazilian authorities intensified on Sunday when tyrannical Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes initiated an investigation into Musk over potential obstruction of justice and incitement to crime.
This was after Musk refused requests by de Moraes to ban accounts that belong to prominent opposition members in the country.
As Gateway Pundit readers know from our previous reporting, Justice Alexandre de Moraes is a staunch ally of communist Lula de Silva and refused to investigate election fraud allegations after the corrupt 2022 election. Moraes also threatened former Prime Minister Jair Bolsonaro and jailed dozens reporters, religious leaders, and Bolsonaro supporters.
From our previous reporting…
Enthusiatic crowd welcomes President Bolsonaro at Planalto Presidential Palace Wednesday
Radical left-wing Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes wants to fine the Liberal Party (PL) allied with President Jair Bolsonaro $4.1 million, freeze its bank accounts and investigate the Party’s chairman after the PL presented its report into the massive electoral fraud in Brazil. The confrontation between the corrupt Supreme Court and the executive branch threatens to escalate.
The Liberal Party (PL) presented its report Tuesday, saying that the results of pre-2020 electonic voting machines are open to manipulation and could not be verified. Using only the results from the secure 2020 electronic voting machines, the PL found that President Jair Bolsonaro won 51,05% of the vote and Communist challenger Lula da Silva only 48,95%.
The Technical Report on the Malfunctioning of Electronic Ballot Boxes submitted by PL head Valdemar Costa Neto to the leftist Superior Electoral Court (TSE) points out “serious and irremediable” inconsistencies in the functioning of part of the electronic voting machines. “The only votes that can be considered valid, verifiable and auditable, in the second round of the 2022 election, are those resulting from the 2020 model ballot boxes,” argues the party, based on an audit by the Instituto Voto Legal (IVL).
“What we seek to demonstrate with this empirical result from the electronic voting machines of the 2020 model (uniformly distributed throughout the country by the Electoral Court itself), based on valid audit elements that attest to the authenticity of the electoral result with the necessary certainty — as mandated by the Superior Electoral Court itself — is that the valid and auditable votes of the Second Round of the 2022 electoral process attest to a result different from that announced by the Superior Electoral Court on 10/30/2022, conferring a percentage of 51.05 % of the vote to President Jair Bolsonaro,“ according to the PL.
Previous studies conducted by Argentine consultant Fernando Cerimedo and the legally required review by the Armed Forces have also found serious problems with the Brazilian electonic voting machines. The military report found evidence of “access to the network during the compilation of the source code“ that could represent “a major risk to the security of the process“. The report submitted by the Minister of Defense General Paulo Sergio Nogueira concluded that “it is not possible to affirm that the electronic voting system is free from the influence of malicious code that could alter its operation.“ General Nogueira asked for a “technical investigation to better understand what is happening in the system.”
The left-wing Superior Electoral Court run by corrupt Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes refused to produce the software run on the electonic voting machines, or permit any further investigation, and instead claimed that “the final report of the Ministry of Defense … did not point out the existence of any fraud or inconsistency in the electronic voting machines and in the electoral process of 2022.”
This false claim was then parroted by media throughout the world.
Bogus AP Fake News headline: “Brazil: Military does not detect irregularities”.
Instead, Alexandre de Moraes wants to have General Nogueira removed for “endangering the constitution.” On Wednesday 11/16, de Moraes sent a request to the Attorney General’s Office to remove the Minister of Defense, O Antagonista reports.
Now, corrupt judge Alexandre de Moraes has rejected the PL’s request for verification of the votimg machines and ordered the party to pay a fine of BRL 22.9 million (US$ 4.1 million). Moraes also ordered the freezing of party funds from Bolsonaro’s coalition “until the payment of the fine, as well as the initiation of an administrative procedure on ‘possible misuse of the party structure, including the Party Fund, in particular with regard to the conduct of Valdemar Costa Neto and Carlos Rocha’ — author of the study by Instituto Voto Legal”, O Antagonista reports.
YouTube has demonetized the Jovem Pan news channel for supposed “election disinformation”. Jovem Pan is “the only cable news TV not pushing far-left-only talking points, and last Tuesday beat all cable news as most watched nationwide,” according to Brazil News in English.
That’s not all.
Lula and Moraes arrested religious leaders.
Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has just signed a bill that will make human compositing legal in the state of Arizona.
Hobbs just signed House Bill 2081, known as the ‘Grandpa in the Garden Bill,’ into law.
This bill will now allow people to turn their loved ones into soil in a process called human composting.
Human composting or natural organic reduction is the process of “breaking down human remains into usable compost or soil that can be returned to the bereaved family or contributed to a conservation area.”
The process involves placing a human body into large tanks containing wood chips, straw, and other natural materials for about four to six weeks until the body turns into soil.
After the composting process is finished, family members can use the soil to plant trees or place the soil in their gardens.
The Vatican on Monday declared gender-affirming surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity, putting them on par with abortion and euthanasia as practices that reject God’s plan for human life.
The Vatican’s doctrine office issued “Infinite Dignity,” a 20-page declaration that has been in the works for five years. After substantial revision in recent months, it was approved March 25 by Pope Francis, who ordered its publication.
In its most eagerly anticipated section, the Vatican repeated its rejection of “gender theory,” or the idea that one’s gender can be changed. It said God created man and woman as biologically different, separate beings, and said people must not tinker with that plan or try to “make oneself God.”
“It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception,” the document said.
It distinguished between gender-affirming surgeries, which it rejected, and “genital abnormalities” that are present at birth or that develop later. Those abnormalities can be “resolved” with the help of health care professionals, it said.
Is China getting ready to take on the world superpower in battle, or is it just being a bully on the playground?
The question is keeping analysts up at night, especially in light of increasingly aggressive behavior from the People’s Republic of China.
On Sunday, the United States held its first joint naval exercises in the South China Sea with the Philippines, Japan and Australia.
The purported reason for the drills was to demonstrate the four countries’ “collective commitment to strengthen regional and international cooperation in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific,” according to a statement by the four nations’ defense chiefs on Saturday.
While the statement did not explicitly name China, Beijing’s increasing forcefulness in claiming territorial rights over the maritime region was widely viewed as the driving force behind the military exercise, according to the Japan Times.
However, it seems as if China did not like being left out of the picture.
On Sunday, Beijing made a surprise announcement that they were having military “joint naval and air combat patrols” on the same day, in the same contested waters, according to Voice of America.
To add insult to injury, Beijing’s People’s Liberation Army Southern Theater Command released a statement that read, “All military activities that mess up the situation in the South China Sea and create hotspots are under control,” — a move that seemed aimed at belittling the cooperative efforts of the four nations.
The drill was a precursor to the first trilateral summit with the leaders of the Philippines and Japan, due to be held by President Joe Biden in a few days. China is reportedly high on the agenda with growing concerns over the disputed South China Sea, according to Voice of America.
Prior to the PLA’s combat patrol, the Chinese side issued several strong warnings against “Philippines’ provocations and its attempts to introduce external forces as well as Manila’s tricks of “playing victim,” according to the China Communist Party-owned Global Times.
The Global Times also claimed that on April 2, Chinese President Xi Jinping directly conveyed China’s stance on the South China Sea to U.S. President Joe Biden, stating that “China has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Qundao and its adjacent waters, noting the U.S. is not a party to the South China Sea issue and should not intervene in matters between China and the Philippines.”

China claims sovereignty over most of the South China Sea, a claim rejected by the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
The U.S. relies on free passage through the South China Sea for trade and military movement, CFR reports.
To strengthen its claims, China is building up islands in the area, adding military bases and airstrips.
Additionally, Xi Jinping has instructed China to brace for “dangerous storms,” in addition to stockpiling fuel and food supplies, and trying to insulate its economy against potential sanctions — moves that could signal preparations for a worst-case scenario, according to a recent essay by professors Michael Beckley and Hal Brands in ForeignPolicy.com.
Beckley and Brands contend that “many of Xi’s actions — the brutal zero-COVID lockdowns, the concentration camps in Xinjiang, the crushing of Hong Kong’s freedoms — betray ruthlessness.”
“Combined with the other changes China is undergoing, these forms of internal aggression should make us very nervous about the external aggression that may lie ahead,” they warn.
China undoubtedly has ambitions to expand its sphere of influence and displace the United States as the preeminent global power.
But its actions also seem driven by more immediate concerns, such as securing its territorial claims in the South China Sea and countering what it sees as foreign interference in its domestic affairs.
However, the threat is a real one.
China is no mere “desert country” that can be easily conquered or controlled. It is a military and economic powerhouse that would pose an immense challenge in any confrontation.
Given these stakes, the question is not whether China is preparing to take on the U.S. but whether the U.S. has the strength to withstand such an attack, should it come.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, The European Organization for Nuclear Research, best known as CERN, will smash protons together at nearly the speed of light today during the solar eclipse.
After two years of hibernation, CERN will fire up the world’s largest Large Hadron Collider during the solar eclipse in an attempt to uncover unknown scientific phenomena such as dark energy, dark matter, and what the universe consists of.
According to CERN, the solar eclipse will not affect the beams in the LHC.
CERN website states, “Although the solar eclipse on April 8th will not affect the beams in the LHC, the gravitational pull of the moon, like the tides, changes the shape of the LHC because the machine is so big.”
In 2012, CERN gained worldwide attention after scientists reported finding the Higgs boson particle, also known as the ‘god particle.’
On its site, CERN describes the Large Hadron Collider as the “most powerful accelerator in the world, and it boosts particles, such as protons, which form all the matter we know. Accelerated to a speed close to that of light, they collide with other protons. These collisions produce massive particles, such as the Higgs boson or the top quark.”
CERN tests world’s most powerful particle accelerator – dubbed ‘the Big Bang machine’ – by smashing particles together at nearly 671 million miles per hour https://t.co/5EsqpkTow8pic.twitter.com/oKBLZBsJ19
The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator smashed protons together on Friday, bringing scientists closer to understanding the Big Bang.
CERN researchers put three beams of protons into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), shooting them down a 17-mile-long tunnel at nearly the speed of light to recreate what happened 13.8 billion years ago.
The LHC smashed the particles together at unprecedented energy to try to blast into existence massive new particles that are secretly powering our universe.
The CERN team began preliminary tests last month by sending billions of protons around the LHC’s ring of superconducting magnets to boost their energy and ensure the $4 billion machine was in working condition.

There are a lot of legitimate reasons to criticize the United Nations. It is ineffective, expensive, threatens U.S. sovereignty, and impedes U.S. foreign policy objectives. But mostly, it is completely ineffective.
Earlier this month, North Korea tested a hypersonic weapon. Kim Jong Un is obsessed with developing nuclear missiles capable of striking South Korea, Japan, and the US. The United Nations expressed grave concern over the North Korean nuclear program but has been unable to slow it, much less stop it.
During COVID, China influenced the UN’s health body, the World Health Organization (WHO), to advocate for masks, lockdowns, school closures, and vaccines. The global economy still has not recovered, while children all over the world lost roughly two years of schooling. Teachers in the US are reporting that not only are children behind academically, but truancy has doubled compared to pre-COVID times, and classes are unruly.
Last December, Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R) introduced a bill to Congress calling for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations. The bill, titled the Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act, proposes withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO), ceasing participation in U.N. peacekeeping operations, including providing funding, personnel, and equipment. Additionally, it would revoke diplomatic immunity in the U.S.
Among Senator Lee’s objections were the loss of sovereignty and the ongoing funding for the UN, which comes at the expense of US taxpayers. The US is the single largest funder of the UN, accounting for about one-third of the organization’s budget. In 2022, the US contributed $18 billion.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) supported the bill, citing corruption within the UN and the UN’s protection of Hamas in the current conflict with Israel. A further complaint was that China, a country the US has sanctioned for committing numerous human rights violations, particularly genocide against the Uyghur ethnic minority in Xinjiang, sat on the Human Rights Council.
Republicans have been criticizing the UN for years. Regarding a US pullout from the Human Rights Council, Trump’s Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said, “When organizations undermine our national interests and our allies, we will not be complicit.” He was attacked by Democrats, liberals, and the mainstream media, who apparently value globalism over the national interests of the United States. When the Council was first formed in 2006, then-President George W. Bush refused to join.
At that time, Representative Tom Lantos of California, the top Democrat on the House International Relations Committee, said, “This is a major retrenchment in America’s long struggle to advance the cause of human rights around the world, and it is a profound signal of U.S. isolation at a time when we need to work cooperatively with our Security Council partners.” The point Rep. Lantos is missing is that the US can be committed to human rights without joining the UNHRC.
The Brookings Institute said, “This telling remark illustrates that this administration’s North Star is toward a nostalgic past in which states had greater independence from international laws and multilateral diplomacy.” Countries, particularly the United States, having autonomy to join or not to join, to act without joining, is not a matter of nostalgia. It is a matter of choice. Throughout the decades, American Republicans have chosen for the U.S. to be independent and autonomous. Furthermore, there is the very real issue that when Washington joins these multinational organizations, the U.S. winds up footing the bill.
In 2018, Brookings said that US participation in the UNHCR was crucial, “investigating and condemning human rights abuses by some of the worst violators of human rights—Syria, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Sudan, Cambodia, Belarus, Burundi, and Eritrea, to name a few.”
Looking at this list, 18 years later, it is obvious how ineffective the UNHCR is. Syria remains a basket case of instability, Iran is the single most disruptive force in the Middle East, the Myanmar junta has bombed more civilians in the last two years than Russia has in Ukraine, Sudan is still facing civil war. Hun Sen, who ran Cambodia as his own pocketbook for 30 years, retired, transferring power to his son, Hun Manet. Belarus is a pariah state, one of Russia’s closest allies, and Eritrea is on the brink of war with Ethiopia, again. Burundi only has limited rebel activity now, with only 20 people killed in December. They also have border disputes with Rwanda, but have not declared war. So, maybe the globalists count that as a success.
Ironically, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, and Venezuela have all sat on the UNHCR despite being some of the most oppressive countries that regularly repress human rights. The UNHCR has done nothing to change the world’s worst regimes, guilty of gross human rights abuses: Algeria, China, Cuba, Egypt, Gaza, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, and Zimbabwe. Additionally, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have sat on The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
The UN Security Council is similarly useless and farcical. China and Russia sit on the council and have veto power to stop UN actions against genocide or against China or Russia, two of the world’s biggest violators.
Trump tore up the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Iran nuclear deal. He even threatened to withdraw the US from the UN and NATO. While these may seem extreme actions, why is it so wrong for the US to act in the best interest of the US? Furthermore, why should the US continue to pay money and lives for institutions that fail to prevent wars or mitigate crises but which can infringe on US autonomy?

A local nurse and her husband, a former US Navy sailor, have been arrested on multiple charges relating to sex crimes, including child pornography and bestiality.
The shocking discovery was made following the seizure of a phone belonging to the husband, who had been previously apprehended for indecent exposure.
On March 13, deputies from Precinct 3 responded to a distressing incident at an H-E-B on Rayford Road, just outside Houston., where William Mitchell Keen, 52, was allegedly caught following and masturbating near young children. He was promptly arrested on a charge of indecent exposure, KHOU reported.
The deputies not only identified the children Keen had been following, leading to further charges of indecency with a child by exposure, but a search warrant executed on Keen’s phone revealed a horrifying cache of child sex assault images.
On March 27, a more gruesome aspect of this case unraveled when Joely Keen, 53, a nurse by profession, was also arrested.
The couple was charged after law enforcement found dozens of disturbing photos and videos on William Keen’s phone, which included at least one video of Joely Keen engaged in “multiple sex acts” with their Great Dane.
The couple were arrested while their children, ages 18 and 10, along with three dogs, were placed in protective custody after police raided their residence.
“We don’t know what kind of environment they were exposed to on a regular basis. Maybe they weren’t exposed to anything. Maybe they were exposed to a lot,” Montgomery County Constables Lieutenant Ken Washington said.
A respected family nurse at Total Men’s Primary Care, Joely Keen, was terminated from her position on the day of her arrest. She faces charges of bestiality, while her husband is charged with possession of child pornography, a third-degree felony.
Both secured bail release, with Joely Keen’s set at $5,000 and William Mitchell Keen’s significantly higher at $50,000. However, they did not return to their home for several days, according to Daily Mail.
According to a recent report from ABC News, a bulletin from US intelligence agencies has raised alarms about the potential for radical groups within the United States to respond to calls for violence by ISIS.
This warning comes in the aftermath of a devastating attack in Moscow last month, where ISIS operatives targeted a concert hall, resulting in significant casualties.
The attack in Moscow’s Crocus City Hall, which occurred on March 22nd, claimed the lives of at least 144 people, including three children, and left more than 550 injured. Following the attack, ISIS issued a statement claiming responsibility and described the venue as a “big gathering for Christians in the Russian Moscow suburb.”
In an alarming development, ABC News has obtained a US intelligence bulletin suggesting that radical groups within the US could be motivated by ISIS’ recent announcements.

Law enforcement officials are particularly wary of the influence these calls might have on homegrown radicals or so-called “lone wolves,” who, despite not being official members of ISIS, may seek to emulate the Moscow atrocity.

Johnson’s letter was in response to dismantling Marxist Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the state.
In January, The Florida Board of Governors passed a regulation limiting public funding for DEI programs, defining them as “any program, campus activity, or policy that classifies individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation and promotes differential or preferential treatment of individuals on the basis of such classification.”
The regulation also prevents any expenditures for programs that ‘engage in political or social activism.’
In his letter, Johnson wrote, “To all current and prospective college student-athletes – the NAACP urges you to reconsider any potential decision to attend, and compete at a predominantly white institution in the state of Florida.”
It seems, however, that student-athletes are not listening to the NAACP’s demands.
College Fix did an analysis that identified at least 35 of the top-ranked black student-athletes in basketball and football who recently signed with universities in Florida.
The Fix shared this list with the NAACP and asked for comment. The group has not responded to two emailed inquiries sent in the past three weeks. The Fix sent another email on April 4 to Press Secretary Alicia Mercedes and Public Relations Manager Chyna Fields, asking if anyone has decommitted. Neither responded to the email.
That number includes Jalil Bethea, who signed with the University of Miami, and is the sixth best player in the class of 2024, according to ESPN.
He’ll be joined next year by Austin Swartz, the 43rd best player. University of Florida has two of the top ten football players joining campus next year, both of whom are black.
A news search about “decommits” did not yield any proof of black athletes leaving Florida universities due to the NAACP boycott demand.
President Trump released a statement Monday on abortion and abortion rights.
President Trump stated on Truth Social that he believes the individual states should be allowed to make abortion policy.
President Trump also announced his support for IVF treatments for families that want a baby, saying, “The Republican Party should always stand for life.”
Here is President Trump’s full statement.
President Donald Trump: The Republican Party will always support the creation of strong, thriving, and healthy American families. We want to make it easier for mothers and families to have babies, not harder. That includes supporting the availability of fertility treatments like IVF in every state in America, like the overwhelming majority of Americans, including the vast majority of Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, and pro-life Americans.
I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious baby. What could be more beautiful or better than that? Today, I’m pleased that the Alabama legislature has acted very quickly and passed legislation that preserves the availability of IVF in Alabama. They really did a great and fast job. The Republican Party should always be on the side of the miracle of life and the side of mothers and fathers. They’re beautiful babies, and that’s what we are. IVF is an important part of that, and our great Republican Party will always be with you in your quest for the ultimate joy in life. Many people have asked me what my position is on abortion and abortion rights, especially since I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars, both sides wanted and, in fact, demanded be ended.
Roe v Wade. They wanted it ended. It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months and even execution after birth, and that’s exactly what it is, the baby is born, the baby is executed after birth, is unacceptable, and almost everyone agrees with that. My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the state. Many states will be different. Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be. At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people. You must follow your heart, or in many cases, your religion or your faith. Do what’s right for your family and do what’s right for yourself. Do what’s right for your children. Do what’s right for our country and vote.
So important to vote. At the end of the day, it’s all about will of the people. That’s where we are right now, and that’s what we want, the will of the people. I want to thank the six justices, Chief Justice John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavenagh, Amy Coney-Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch, incredible people, for having the courage to allow this long-term, hard-fought battle to finally end.
This 50-year battle over Roe v Wade took it out of the federal hands and brought it into the hearts, minds, and vote of the people in each state was really something. Now it’s up to the states to do the right thing. Like Ronald Reagan, I am strongly in favor of exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. You must follow your heart of this issue, but remember, you must also win elections to restore our culture, and in fact, to save our country, which is currently, and very sadly, a nation in decline. Our nation needs help. It needs unity. It needs us all to work closely together. Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, everyone, we have to work together. We have to bring our nation back from the brink, and that’s where it is.
It’s at the brink, and we will, we will do it. I promise you, we will do it. Always vote by your heart, but we must win. We have to win. We are a failing nation, but we can be a failing nation no longer. We will make our nation great. We will make our nation greater than ever before. Thank you very much.
A lot has been made over the HISTORICAL eclipse today, from the conspiracy theorist corner of the internet to meteorologists alike. In the last couple days, experts warn that the‘path of totality’ may change, bringing with it storms, a mass influx of tourism to the affected cities, and more. But is it really something to panic over, or just another eclipse? Elijah Schaffer explains all this and more on today’s Beyond the Headlines.
A University of Arkansas police officer over the weekend cut down a student’s pro-Trump flag at the Ole Miss vs Arkansas baseball game.
Co-eds loudly booed as the officer cut down the flag.
The incident reportedly happened Friday night.
It is unclear what led to the police presence and cutting down of the flag.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported on the University of Arkansas vs Ole Miss series:
The No. 1-ranked Razorbacks beat the Rebels 5-2 on Thursday night, 8-3 on Friday night and 7-4 on Saturday before combined crowds of 32,649 at Baum-Walker Stadium.
It was Arkansas’ first sweep of Ole Miss since Norm DeBriyn’s final season as the Razorbacks’ coach in 2002 when they took three games from the Rebels in Oxford, Miss.
DeBriyn’s Razorbacks also swept Ole Miss at home in 1997 and 1999.
Arkansas took two of three games from Ole Miss nine times previously under Van Horn — including a 2019 NCAA Super Regional at home — but never had won the first two games of a series against the Rebels.
This season the Razorbacks finally got the opportunity for a sweep going into Saturday’s finale.
“It was a really big game for us,” Van Horn said. “We talked to the guys a lot after the game [Friday night] about the opportunity to sweep.”
The Gateway Pundit reached out to the University of Arkansas for comment and will provide an update as soon as they respond.
Update: The University of Arkansas responded to TGP’s request for comment.
“The University’s longstanding practice has been to prohibit political campaign signs and banners in Athletic events. This includes a prohibition on placing signage on University property or attaching such signage to campus elements. This prohibition is viewpoint neutral and applies without regard to party, candidate, or issue,” John Thomas, Director of Media Relations and Core Communications University Relations said in a statement to The Gateway Pundit.
“More generally, use of signage on campus is restricted under the University’s facilities use policies, including but not limited to Fayetteville Policies and Procedures 708.0, 723.0, and 804.1,” John Thomas added.
Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life
President Donald Trump today made his long-awaited statement on how he would pursue abortion policy once he is re-elected.
I was happy with the announcement because it was honest, it clears the way for a frank debate about abortion and I am confident it will ultimately – provided Americans return him to the White House – lead to abortion being abolished.
The statement was consistent with what he has been saying all along and what I have been saying: we will work for policies that will help women have their babies, we will expose the extremism of the Democrats on abortion, and we will continue to work with the American people to use the legislative process to set abortion policy.
As I said in my remarks recently at Mar-a-Lago, President Trump has been, and will be again, the most pro-life president our country has seen. He has not wavered on any of the pro-life positions or executive actions he has taken (including depriving the abortion industry of federal funds), or judges he has appointed, and we will again see such progress in a second term.
President Trump is rightly proud of his role in the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Roe blocked the American people from protecting the unborn. Now, we can protect them again, and are doing so.
By invoking ‘the will of the people,’ President Trump is pointing to the fact that courts are not here to impose a dogma of abortion-on-demand. Rather, the courts should step out of the way so that the people can have an open and honest debate about abortion. That’s what we will continue to do.
President Trump’s announcement today on Truth Social calls to mind the drafting of the U.S. Constitution at a time when slavery was still legal. The Founders understood they could not get the Constitution ratified if it contained an absolute anti-slavery position. They needed to get the nation started.
But with the Constitution they did adopt, they put in place the very mechanism by which slavery was in fact ultimately abolished.
We’re at that same moment now.
President Trump is taking a similar stance to the one taken by the Founders. They had to start a nation; we have to save the nation by winning this election. Right now we have a nation divided on abortion. But by saving the nation itself from destruction by the Democrats – by saving the Constitution, free and fair elections, freedom of speech and religion, and by stopping the extremism of the Democrats on abortion — we will in fact preserve the very mechanism by which we can continue to build a culture of life.
I thank the President for his statement but I don’t expect him to do my job; I expect him to do his. My job and the job of the pro-life movement is to lay out the moral absolute of the right to life, which does not admit of compromise. No abortion can ever be justified.
Pro-life leaders, meeting recently for strategic planning, issued this joint statement that reflects the pro-life work that needs to be done in the next seven months.
We look forward to continuing to work together with President Trump and countless citizens to leading our nation to ever greater fidelity to its founding principle that governments are instituted precisely to preserve the unalienable right to life.
A tragic shooting at a law office in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas has left three people dead, authorities confirmed on Monday.
A law firm in the Summerlin area near the Red Rock Resort became the scene of a violent shooting this morning, prompting a significant response from local law enforcement.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) is currently investigating the incident that has reportedly left multiple victims, according to police sources per 8 News Now.
The shooting occurred shortly after 10 a.m. inside a business located at the 10800 block of Charleston Boulevard, near Pavilion Center Drive, an area known for its bustling activity and proximity to several local businesses and attractions.
The intersection has been closed to traffic as police work the scene, with authorities advising the public to avoid the area due to the extensive police presence.
In a statement released to the public, LVMPD confirmed their response to the incident: “We are investigating a shooting inside a business near Pavilion Center Drive and Charleston. This is a dynamic event and multiple LVMPD emergency vehicles are responding. Please avoid the area. We will have more info soon.”

According to sources from Channel 13, the shooting took place at the Prince Law Group, located at the corner of Charleston Boulevard and Pavilion Center Drive. The circumstances surrounding the shooting, including the motive and the condition of the victims, remain unclear at this early stage.
LVMPD has advised that this is a “dynamic event” and has deployed multiple emergency vehicles to the location. The area surrounding the incident has been cordoned off, causing significant disruptions to local traffic as the investigation continues.

According to LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill, “This shooting occurred at a law office. There are two deceased victims, and the shooter is dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot. The multi-story office building with hundreds of people inside was evacuated during this incident. The motive and the relationship between the victims and the shooter are under investigation.”
The shooting happened in the Prince Law Group’s fifth-floor office during a child custody deposition involving Prince’s wife and her ex-husband, whom sources identified as Houston’s son and whom he was also representing. Prince and his wife recently had a child together.
Records show Dylan Houston filed for divorce from then-named Ashley Houston in 2021.
Police received a call of a shooting shortly after 10 a.m. inside a business in the 10800 block of Charleston Boulevard near Pavilion Center Drive.
On Monday afternoon, LVMPD Lt. Jason Johansson said seven people were in the room during the deposition. Joe Houston targeted his two victims, Johansson said, without identifying the shooter or the victims.
Police were searching Joe Houston’s home on Monday evening near Buffalo Drive and Desert Inn Road, Johansson said without identifying the shooter.
“The suspect was not killed by police. We believe he took his own life,” McMahill added Monday afternoon.

Part of a series of amendments being secretly negotiated and set to be put to a vote in late May at the annual World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland.
The United Nations World Health Organization is secretly negotiating a set of amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) that would impose an invasive testing, vaccination and quarantine regimen on international travelers.
Ongoing negotiations on these amendments were kept secret for more than a year until California researcher and journalist James Rogoski uncovered the latest draft version of the amendments in February.
In a recent interview, Rogoski said these amendments to the International Health Regulations are not so much an attack on national sovereignty as they are a “dangerous expression of national sovereignty.”
Most nations, including the U.S., already claim through various laws to have these invasive powers over their own citizens. What the IHR amendments are about is giving nations these same testing and quarantining powers over foreign nationals who legally enter as a tourist, business traveler or for any other purpose.
Exiting the WHO, as the U.S. did under the presidency of Donald Trump, will also not provide any real answers to this power grab, Rogoski explained, stating that “Unless every nation exited the WHO these rules would still apply.”
That’s because the enforcement powers for these invasive methods are being given to nations not to exercise over their own citizens but over the citizens of every other country who are entering as foreign travelers.
The proposed amendments would include adding the terminology for so-called conveyance operators, which includes operators of planes, trains, subways, cruise lines, buses, etc.
These operators, both public and private, would have to comply with “health measures which may include isolation and quarantine as required, for application on board as well and embarkation and disembarkation.” That means you could be confronted both getting on and getting off of a plane, cruise ship or train, and asked to take a PCR test, or to show proof of vaccination against whatever disease they are looking for.
WATCH 15-MINUTE VIDEO ON RUMBLE:
Proposed changes to Article 27 of the IHR’s would add the words “and quarantine” to the powers already granted at ports of entry.
“So, the concern is that if you are traveling, they want to be able to make you take a test, and if you want to get off the cruise boat or plane, they may make you go into quarantine…It essentially says they can compel the traveler to undergo vaccination or other prophylaxis.”
The next series of meetings for the IHR working group is April 22-26, where they will continue to negotiate, in secret, these draft amendments. The plan is to have them ready for approval by the WHO’s World Health Assembly in the final week of May.
“In my opinion, adding more authority to nations to quarantine travelers, test and vaccinate people, is very dangerous. Especially with vaccines that don’t work and tests that are fraudulent,” Rogoski said.
He says awareness is key to defeating this power grab.
“Identify your allies, don’t try to convince anyone who doesn’t want to know. It doesn’t take a lot. Become aware, make your own video, share. 99 percent of people are not going to comprehend the issue, and that’s OK. You’re looking for allies and I’m here to tell you there are millions of us who have had enough.
“They’re trying to have secret negotiations to change international law on the right to quarantine people who travel based on vaccines or tests.”
On the surface this might not sound so bad. It might even sound good to some gullible ears. But when you realize we are talking about unsafe and ineffective genetics-based vaccines and fraudulent PCR tests, it becomes a tyrant’s dream, and a freedom-lover’s nightmare.

Former President Donald Trump is again seeking to delay the start of the trial in his New York criminal case, this time by suing the judge just one week before jury selection is scheduled to begin.
In a pair of sealed filings Monday, Trump asked an appellate court for a change of venue in the case and for a stay of a gag order that prevents Trump from commenting publicly on, among others, the judge’s daughter, who works for a Democrat-aligned consulting firm, according to a source familiar with the filings.
The documents are not public, but in an online court database, they appear under the headers “change of venue” and “stay.” Documents for an appeal related to a criminal proceeding are initially sealed while they’re reviewed for sensitive information.
President Trump on Saturday stared down the far-left New York judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial who hit him with an expanded gag order for criticizing his daughter.
Juan Merchan Monday night expanded Trump’s gag order and barred the former president from criticizing his family members.
The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. The media has infantilized 34-year-old Loren Merchan in an effort to attack Trump’s First Amendment-protected speech.
Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.
According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case.
On Saturday Trump blasted Juan Merchan and the other crooked left-wing New York judges who have ruled against him in other lawfare cases in a series of Truth Social posts.
Trump threw down the gauntlet and blasted Judge Merchan.
President Trump said he will continue to tell the truth and will “gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela,” and is willing to “sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause.”
“Now, we have Merchan, who is not allowing me to talk, thereby violating the Law and the Constitution, all at once. It is so bad what he is trying to get away with – How was he even chosen for this case??? I heard he fought like hell to get it, and all of the rest of them also! If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the “clink” for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela – It will be my GREAT HONOR. We have to Save our Country from these Political Operatives masquerading as Prosecutors and Judges, and I am willing to sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause. We are a Failing Nation, but on November 5th, we will become a Great Nation again. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said on Truth Social.
Joe Biden on Monday traveled to Wisconsin to deliver remarks on his new student loan bailout plan. He nearly tripped up the short staircase again as he boarded Air Force One.
Biden delivered remarks at Madison College Truax Campus on his new sweeping plan to cancel student loan debt.
CNBC reported on Biden’s new student loan cancelation plan:
President Joe Biden unveiled his new plan to forgive student debt on Monday, less than a year after the Supreme Court blocked his initial attempt.
Consumer advocates have long criticized the fact that interest rates on federal student loans may exceed 8%, which can make it tough for borrowers who fall behind or are on certain payment plans to reduce their balances.
More than 25 million federal student borrowers owe more than they originally borrowed, according to the Biden administration.
It estimates that, if its new plan is enacted as proposed, borrowers will get up to $20,000 of unpaid interest on their federal student debt forgiven, regardless of their income.
Certain low- and middle-income borrowers may benefit even more.
Single people who earn $120,000 or less, and married borrowers making $240,000 or under, could have the entire amount of interest that has accrued on their debt since they entered repayment canceled under Biden’s plan.
Biden bragged about ignoring the Supreme Court on his scheme to unilaterally cancel student loan debt.
“That didn’t stop us,” Biden said. “We continue to find alternatives to reduce student debt.”

Biden has used a series of workarounds to circumvent the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his student loan bailout program.
Last year the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against Joe Biden’s student loan relief program so the Department of Education rolled out a workaround forbearance program to cancel $39 billion in student loans by counting non-payments as payments for a period of time.
Only it isn’t your typical forbearance program. Borrowers won’t have to pay back ‘missed’ payments or make up the difference of ‘reduced’ payments. No interest will accrue on any of the missed payments.
In January Biden unilaterally canceled another $5 billion in student loan debt for 74,000 borrowers in his latest vote-buying gimmick.
Joe Biden also announced he would cancel student loans for borrowers who took out less than $12,000 and have been in repayment for 10 years.
As we head closer to November, more Americans will jump on the Trump Train – because it really is the last, best hope for saving this once great and mighty nation.
Former President Donald Trump speaks about the murder of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller on Thursday in New York. (C-SPAN screen shot)
A tale of two presidents: Donald Trump’s recent fundraiser at the home of John Paulson, raked in over $50 million of cash to add more fuel to a campaign that many have already called one of the best in modern presidential history in terms of management (even compared to President Trump’s presidential bids in 2016 and 2020) – and which has been described as a “well-oiled machine.” The staggering figure is notable for several reasons: it outflanked Biden’s paltry-by-comparison (reportedly) $25 million that he raised a little over a week before in New York. However, unlike Biden, who had to shut down half of Manhattan, and fly in three former presidents and legions of celebrity entertainers just to reach less than half of President Trump’s benchmark, President Trump’s fundraiser was a far less glitzy ordeal – he did not need all the pomp and circumstance that Biden, who cuts the public image of a dementia patient, required; it was hosted at a private home in Palm Beach, a relatively quiet locale compared to Biden’s Radio City Midtown venue. And yet, even considering those factors, President Trump more than doubled Biden’s reported figure, which only speaks to the formidable power of his overall campaign operation.
President Trump’s recent success is also a telltale that Americans are absolutely fed up with the current program, and demand a radical course correction. The economy has slowed to a halt; hordes of barbarians are literally storming the gate from the third world; and, on the international front, the world, quite literally, teeters on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. Even though Biden has gone to great lengths to depict the economic situation as improving, Americans everywhere understand that real wages remain depressed — and lags the pace of inflation, underlying GDP languishes, while inflation continues to be sticky and remaining around forty-year highs – especially compared to the purchasing power of the dollar just three years ago, as Americans palpably realize whenever they struggle to buy eggs and milk at the grocery store.
But even if the economy was as rosy as Biden and his lackeys say, the border crisis alone is enough to send Independents and even many Democrats running for the MAGA hills. President Trump recently shared a graphic on Truth Social that visually broke down just how bad Biden’s border crisis has been: since the 45th President left office; illegal immigration has skyrocketed – to levels unseen at any point, ever, in American history. More illegals from Latin America and South America have crossed the Southern border over the last four years alone than the previous two hundred thirty-three years of American history! Tens of thousands of illegals cross the wide-open, US-Mexico border every single month: many of these illegals belong to dangerous criminal organizations and drug cartels, or traffic children into sex slavery. All of them, in crossing the border, have committed a crime. Many are repeat felons.
President Trump recently shared a graphic on Truth Social that visually broke down just how bad Biden’s border crisis has been: since the 45th President left office; illegal immigration has skyrocketed – to levels unseen at any point, ever, in American history.
Since President Trump’s unceremonious ouster from the Oval Office, the sheer number of illegals who have crossed the southern border each month has shot up exponentially. Compared to when President Trump left office, which bottomed out at a record-low 30,000, more than 300,000 have been counted entering the country per month under Biden – a staggering tenfold increase. This will be sure to have devastating cultural, demographic, economic, and national security ramifications for generations to come. The damage, so drastic, may be permanent. The cultural fabric of the American nation has been upended, and nothing short of the dramatic actions that President Trump and his advisers have proposed – like mass deportations of all illegals – will undo the catastrophe.
None of these illegals are being assimilated; rather, they are forcing native-born Americans out of schools in cities like New York, which do not have enough space to house them or resources to feed them. Illegals do not culturally assimilate into American life (indeed, everything from the Biden Regime would incentivize them not to), having at best a rudimentary understanding of the English language – and little to no economically practical skills. Instead, they loot, rob, and steal what diminishing portion of the American Dream remains for working American citizens, whose quality of life has, in turn, deteriorated, and quite rapidly – as legacy Americans are forced to shoulder a heavier and heavier tax burden of medical, education, and housing expenses — a problem which disproportionately falls on older retirees and younger Americans, just entering the workforce, who are already laden with astronomical college debt in many cases.
Meanwhile, Democrats like Governors Newsom and Hochul in states like California and New York, respectively, have given illegals drivers licenses, social security numbers, free healthcare, and increasingly, access to the franchise. With no voter ID laws and extremely lenient rules for voting in federal elections generally, the ballot box is more than ever at risk of being susceptible to illegal votes, from all types of people, foreign and domestic, come November. The Great Replacement is a type of foreign election interference far more serious than any damage that could possibly be wrought by Russia and China — which the mainstream media totally ignores. Any discussion at all of this kind of election interference the Uniparty deems verboten, for it upsets their narrative because they depend entirely on illegals for cheap labor and more votes: indeed, that is the core demographic, and key, to stay in power.
Biden put New York on lockdown for his fundraiser, forcing Manhattanites to be held hostage in their apartments and workplaces – many for hours on end – which was eerily reminiscent of the draconian lockdowns during covid, and typical of the sort of agenda sponsored by Biden’s friends at the World Economic Forum and Davos, that would have all Americans living in pods, jobless, and permanent renters by 2030. Perhaps even more shameful is the fact that as Biden was attempting to raise money for his failing presidential effort, a police officer, slain in the line of duty as a result of the reckless anti-law enforcement, anarchic policies espoused by Biden and his party, was being laid to rest just over the bridge, on nearby Long Island, a flesh-and-blood casualty of the Biden Regime.
While Biden was being feted by an abominable cast of characters that included Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Stephen Colbert, and “Lizzo,” President Trump acted like a true statesman by paying his respects to the family at the wake of the fallen officer. At the same time, Biden managed to beclown himself – and insult the city in the process. President Trump appropriately dignified Officer Jonathan Diller and his family – not in a showy or obnoxious way, but in a cordial, understated, and statesmanlike fashion that conveyed appropriate solemnity for the tragedy that had just occurred. His appearance also reflected an unspoken empathy for how Officer Diller’s death was directly traceable to the Left’s broader effort to stigmatize, defang, and demean law enforcement ever since the George Floyd riots of the summer of 2020.
Whereas Biden’s fundraiser was a display of narcissistic indulgence, the product of his paid off supporters who behind closed doors grow wearier and wearier of him by the day, President Trump was in the city purely to boost morale – and inspire hope for the place he once proudly called home, now ravaged by utterly insane policies that will spell certain doom for New York, and the nation, if not stopped in their tracks with an aggressive counteroffensive.
In 2016, the mantra was to Make America Great Again. In 2024, Americans demand not just to be made great again, but a complete and total restoration of the country, rule of law, due process, and our sacred constitutional rights and freedoms. They hope to be relieved of the scourge of Leftist insanity that has grown more militant, more parasitical, and more deadly, with each passing year – achieving fruition in the Biden Regime that has unleashed invaders to decimate what remnants exist of the spacious skies and amber waves of grain of the once glorious republic.
The Regime does this while at the same time clamps down on its most patriotic citizens, those without ever having so much as a petty misdemeanor on their records, far too many now locked away – for years, decades even – merely for peacefully showing up at the nation’s capital on January 6th. From septuagenerian Vietnam war veterans to praying great-grandmothers to 5’1 social media starlets, true Americans of all stripes are being locked away ruthlessly, while violent and dangerous criminals, some worse than the type that murdered Officer Diller in the line-of-duty, are allowed to flood the streets of every major city with impunity. And warlords who head dangerous gangs invade the country with reckless abandon, exploiting a porous border and destroying many more innocent American lives along the way – either directly, or indirectly via human trafficking and broadening an already uncontrollable Fentanyl and opioid-epidemic – to previously unthinkable levels.
As we head closer to November, more Americans will jump on the Trump Train – because it really is the last, best hope for saving this once great and mighty nation, rendered into an enervated picture of its former self — personified by none other than Joe Biden himself. America will cease to exist without President Trump’s return to the Oval Office; even with his return, the prospects for a national renewal will be difficult, but his movement remains the only viable path – the final chance – for salvaging our ancestral legacy, now at risk of being lost forever.
Harrison Floyd, Marine veteran and leader of Black Voices for Trump.
Harrison Floyd, former leader of Black Voices for Trump and a defendant in Fani Willis’s lawfare suit against President Trump and his associates, caught Fulton County District Attorney committing another crime.
It is already widely known that Willis committed perjury when lying in court about the length of her affair with her lead prosecutor on the case, Nathan Wade. Both Willis and Wade lied about when their affair started in order to cover up that she hired him not on his talent or legal mind but because she could then work with the traffic attorney and pay him for his services in the Trump RICO case.
Wade was forced to resign from the case for committing the exact same crimes as his lover who is still overseeing the case against the former president. The legacy media has completely ignored Fani’s lawlessness as they cover this charade.
Now Harrison Floyd has caught Willis in another criminal act. Floyd alleged Willis illegally recorded a telephone call with his attorney in an unrelated criminal case in Maryland. Maryland is a two-party state, meaning both parties in an electronic discussion must give their permission to record the conversation.
Harrison Floyd pointed this out last week in his threat to Fani Willis.
Harrison wrote: “I don’t want to put a black woman in Jail. But if @FaniforDA (Fani Willis) does not recuse herself from this case by noon on Monday, I may have no other choice than to pursue all lawful remedies.
Make Fulton Great Again
I don’t want to put a black woman in Jail.
But if @FaniforDA does not recuse herself from this case by noon on Monday, I may have no other choice than to pursue all lawful remedies.
Floyd included a copy of the state wiretap law that shows Maryland is a two-party state. Breaking this law could result in up to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine or both.
And Willis and her staff were stupid enough to admit they recorded the call in an article at the far-left Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
UPDATE: Harrison Floyd released a statement on Monday afternoon. He has not made a decision yet on whether to file suit against the crooked DA.
Harrison Floyd: Last week, my attorney and I made it public that district Attorney Willis very likely violated the Maryland Wiretapping Act, which is a felony here in Maryland. As far as we are aware, DA Willis did not have a warrant, and the call was not made in furtherance of law enforcement because I was already in custody. She simply broke the law.
The truth is, DA Willis did not like the public backlash she was receiving, and over the course of multiple calls, she tried to find a way out of the mess that she created. She also made the claim that I denied a consent bond, which is a lie. The truth is simple and quite frankly, sad. DA Willis is blinded by her upbringing, which was deeply rooted in radical progressive ideology and racism. She has no problem weaponizing her skin or her office to further its aims. While my skin is also black, DA Willis identifies me as white and views me as a defender of white supremacist due to my political beliefs. Deep down, she wants to make me pay for what she feels is a betrayal to black culture. Her words and actions consistently demonstrate a hate for white people and a need to make this case about race.
She has disrespected Judge McCathy and defense attorneys because of the color of their skin. It’s racist and it’s wrong. After my attorneys finish working on the appeal Judge McCathy granted, we will bring a motion asking the court to exercise its judicial power on equal protection grounds because racism in any form is wrong. I, along with a lot of you, would like a speedy resolution.
However, this is more than likely going to take time due to the district attorney’s unprofessional, overly aggressive, and untruthful nature. Let me be clear that this is not an effort to delay justice or attack the district attorney because of her race or sex. It’s because she actually broke the law in the same manner she’s falsely accusing me of. Thank you, and I will see you back in Georgia.
In recent years, there has been a growing – in more ways than one – movement surrounding “body positivity.” However, it’s interestingly not toward being “positive” about keeping a lean, healthy physique – but rather, obese and unhealthy. Are there more insidious, big corporate reasons for why this may be – or is it solely hubris and an unwillingness to take responsibility for one’s own bad decisions?
During the solar eclipse, NASA launched three sounding rockets into the Earth’s atmosphere on Monday afternoon.
NASA scientists launched the rockets to observe “disturbances in the ionosphere when the moon eclipses the sun.”
The first rocket was launched 45 minutes before the eclipse, the second rocket was launched during the eclipse, and the third rocket was launched 45 minutes after the eclipse occurred.
On Monday, April 8, NASA plans to launch three sounding rockets into the Earth’s upper atmosphere while the moon partially veils the sun’s luminous disk.
The Atmospheric Perturbations around Eclipse Path sounding rockets will blast off from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, just so scientists can study the disturbances in the ionosphere when the moon eclipses the sun.
As the earth spins around its axis, closer to Monday, April 8, anticipation is mounting in the nation’s capital for the celestial spectacle – the highly anticipated “Great North American Eclipse.”
There will be three different launch times: 45 minutes before the peak eclipse, during, and 45 minutes after. NASA states that the different intervals are pivotal for collecting data on how the sun’s sudden disappearance affects the ionosphere — which the space agency says could potentially interfere with our communications on Earth.
“Understanding the ionosphere and developing models to help us predict disturbances is crucial to making sure our increasingly communication-dependent world operates smoothly,” said Aroh Barjatya, a professor of engineering physics at Florida’s Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus.
Many residents of the East Coast were able to spot the rockets from their homes briefly.

It can be recalled that the Georgia Congresswoman filed a motion to vacate the chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker thanks to his actions over the House Omnibus bill, which will fund the government until September 30.
The legislation passed by a 286-134 vote, achieving the necessary 2/3 vote to avoid a government shutdown. Democrats bailed out Johnson after over 100 members of his caucus rebelled.
During an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show on Wednesday, Greene expressed bewilderment at Johnson’s recent legislative decisions, which she argues starkly contrast with his proclaimed values and the expectations of his conservative base.
The more than 1,000-page spending bill was made public at 2:32 am on Thursday while Americans were asleep, which MTG says “violated the 72-hour rule” that requires the text of a bill or resolution to be available to members for at least 72 hours before a vote.
Not only did the bill leave our border wide open for Joe Biden and his dangerous illegal immigrants, but it also continued the practice of flying millions of illegals into and across the United States. It further allocates millions of dollars for abortions up until birth and for youth transgender or LGBTQ programs.
MTG told Tucker Carlson that Mike Johnson’s radical departure from his known conservative stances is what she believes is a result of “being blackmailed.”
MTG went off earlier today on Twitter, slamming Mike Johnson for being “the Democrat Speaker of the House” and for “serving the Deep State and betraying Americans!”
Our Republican Speaker of the House is upsetting many of our members by relying on Democrats to pass major bills and working with Dems by giving them everything they want.
That makes him the Democrat Speaker of the House not our Republican Speaker of the House. https://t.co/5P7I9QErRU

We are all aware of the many allegations against Trump regarding a “Trump-Russia Collusion“. Now Europe is facing a strategically organized defamation campaign of even greater extent: NGOs with concealed ties to the state, governments and even intelligence services are collaborating to destroy all right-wing anti-globalist parties.
The latest victim of this epic scheme is Petr Bystron, spokesman on foreign affairs for the AfD (Germany’s right-wing opposition) and candidate in the German Bundestag: On March 28th, the Czech news platform Denik N revealed it had been informed that the Czech Security Information Service BIS (national intelligence agency) was in possession of a damning audio recording which proved that Bystron had been bribed by the pro-Russian network Voice of Europe. The day after, the SPIEGEL, a news outlet of the German mainstream media, confirmed the source. The SPIEGEL is well-known for its smear articles against right-wing politicians and influencers.
However, these allegations are indeed so serious that, if true, they put the integrity of the entire AfD into question.
Immediately, the heads of the party, D.r Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, issued an ultimatum to Bystron, demanding a clear statement:
“To address all allegations conclusively and to respond appropriately from the Federal Executive Board of our party, you are requested to demand the Federal Spokespersons Dr. Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla to provide a written statement regarding the claims made against you by tomorrow, Thursday, April 4, 2024, at 2:00 PM.”
And he delivered.
In a now-public letter, he not only denied the allegations but provided a detailed explanation of the globalist motives behind this international defamation campaign:
“That this globalist campaign was launched in the Czech Republic is no coincidence. The government of Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala is among the strongest proponents of continuing the war in Ukraine, with the Czech arms industry being one of the biggest beneficiaries of the conflict worldwide. In the same session, the Czech government passed further sanctions against “Voice of Europe” and also approved additional ammunition purchases for Ukraine.”
Most importantly, both Bystron himself and Voice of Europe, the alleged secret Russian donor, insisted on the publication of the audio recording.
So where is it?
That… is kind of the problem. The BIS refuses to disclose the evidence. In fact, nobody outside of the BIS has ever seen or heard it. Not the media, not even the Czech government.
And yet, all national media platforms report on the scandal. Politicians from opposing parties are outraged. The vice president of the EU Commission announces: “I am convinced that what we know now is just the tip of the iceberg!”
What tip? There is not a single piece of evidence. Previous interview guests of Voice of Europe, such as Czech politician Svoboda, German politician Max Krahfeld and Italian European People’s Party lawmaker also confirmed that money was never mentioned.
“Of course not. What a question is this?” the latter told Politico. “It makes me laugh when you ask me if I got money from Russia … because I come from a very well-off family.”
There are no icebergs, just hot air – perfectly in accordance with the left’s climate alarmism.
But why would the Czech government be interested in the downfall of the AfD by discrediting Bystron?
In fact, there are many reasons: Bystron himself was born in the Czech Republic and has wielded great political influence there. In 2022, he gave an outstanding speech in Prague that moved over 100,000 people, The Gateway Pundit reported. “Freedom, freedom!” the crowd shouted back in approval.
Moreover, it is well known that the Czech government is extremely unpopular among its citizens. Largely due to its radical stance in favor of war against Russia.
The AfD has long been criticized for its “pro-Russia” views. To be fair, though, their stance is simply anti-war. Just recently, it was exposed that the German Bundeswehr had secretly planned to launch extremely destructive Taurus missiles against Russia. The AfD vehemently condemns this attack. The Gateway Pundit covered this topic.
Now one can only hope that the BIS will not create a false audio recording with AI technology.
As Bystron has pointed out: This defamation campaign is no singular incident. It appears to be part of a collaborated effort to undermine the increasingly popular right-wing movements within Europe.
Russia bribed politicians, EU officials claimed. But they provided no proof and made no arrests. And now, Public has learned, NGOs are working as front groups for Western military and intelligence agencies to spread disinformation and interfere, illegally, in European elections. pic.twitter.com/crpMN5imrC

There’s more: When the German newspaper ZEIT asked the spokesperson for the Czech Secret Service about the evidence, which he refused to show, the interview ended as follows:
“The BIS spokesperson did not want to disclose further details because it is an active case involving multiple European intelligence agencies.“
Interesting. So who else is in on this? Perhaps there is an iceberg beneath these false allegations after all?
In the context of the war in Ukraine and the widely expected Chinese invasion of Taiwan, the ever-growing partnership between Russia and China has the western world very worried.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has landed in China for strategic talks ‘on the war in Ukraine, the bilateral ties and the situation in the Asia-Pacific region’.
“The Russian foreign minister will talk with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on a series of “hot topics” that will also include joint cooperation in international organizations, such as the United Nations and the Group of 20 (G20), Moscow had said earlier.
Reuters reported last month that Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to China in May for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, in what could be the Kremlin chief’s first overseas trip of his new presidential term.”
Hit with an unprecedented amount of sanctions that closed access to Western markets and finances after the onset of the war in Ukraine, Russia has since become China’s fastest-growing trade partner.
“Xi, in a call with Putin last month, said both sides should resolutely oppose interference in domestic affairs by external forces, an apparent reference to the United States.
Chinese vice foreign minister Sun Weidong said bilateral ties were “at their best in history” when he met his Russian counterpart in Moscow last month, according to a Chinese foreign ministry readout.”
This visit comes as the US is warning allies that China has stepped up its support for the Russian campaign in Ukraine, including by providing geospatial intelligence.
“Amid signs of continued military integration between the two nations, China has provided Russia with satellite imagery for military purposes, as well as microelectronics and machine tools for tanks, according to people familiar with the matter.
China’s support also includes optics, propellants to be used in missiles and increased space cooperation, one of the people said.”
President Joe Biden raised these concerns with Xi Jinping during their call this week.
China’s support for the Russian defense industrial base, now include machine tools, optics, nitrocellulose, microelectronics, and turbojet engines.
“Beijing has sought to portray itself as mostly neutral in the face of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, now into its third year, yet it’s established a deep alliance with Moscow as part of what Xi and Vladimir Putin termed a “no limits” friendship ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.”
Bilateral trade has reached a record $240 billion in 2023.
“Crucially, China and Hong Kong have also become key gateways for Moscow to access restricted technologies, including chips and integrated circuits, used in weapons or needed to build them. The US and European Union have listed several Chinese firms for enabling those transfers, but the trade shows little sign of dropping off.”
An appellate judge Monday denied an 11th hour request by former President Donald Trump seeking to delay the start of the trial in his New York criminal case.
Trump has made multiple attempts to push back the trial, this time by suing the judge just one week before jury selection is scheduled to begin.
In a pair of sealed filings Monday, Trump asked an appellate court for a change of venue in the case and for a stay of a gag order that prevents Trump from commenting publicly on, among others, the judge’s daughter, who works for a Democrat-aligned consulting firm, according to a source familiar with the filings.
Associate Justice Lizbeth Gonzalez did not weigh in on either the change of venue or gag efforts in her brief Monday evening ruling denying a stay of the upcoming trial.
Judge Juan Merchan on Monday evening issued a letter explaining how he will be conducting jury selection.

The über Globalist and Eurofanatic Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk was handed a hard blow by the voters as the Conservative Nationalist opposition party Law and Justice (PiS) came first in Poland’s local government elections.
It amounts to a big setback for Tusk’s ambitions to solidify his grip on power.
“If confirmed, the results would dash Tusk’s hopes of leading his Civic Coalition (KO) grouping to first place in the election independently of its partners in the ruling alliance.”
While conservatives of PiS came in ahead of Tusk’s KO, it was not a complete victory, as it was still behind the ‘combined score’ of the three groupings that make up the coalition government.
“PiS scored 33.7%, according to the Ipsos exit poll, ahead of centrist KO, which had 31.9%. The other groupings in government, the Christian conservative Third Way and the Left scored 13.5% and 6.8% respectively.
‘The unsinkable PiS… However you look at it, it’s a substantial defeat for the image (of Tusk’s party)’, Krzysztof Izdebski, policy director at the Stefan Batory Foundation think-tank, wrote on X.”
This is yet another proof of how tenuous is Tusk’s grip on power, since he became Prime Minister in an election where, though his coalition got a majority, PiS was the most voted party.
Tusk promised to reverse what the globalist have called a ‘democratic backsliding’, but clear-thinking minds know to be just patriotic and anti-globalist policies against abortion, unchecked mass migration and ‘green’ climate alarmist European nonsense.
“Brussels is closely watching how Tusk’s coalition fares as it faces European Parliament elections in June, while Europe-wide opinion polls suggest the populist right will perform well.
Speaking shortly after exit polls were published, Tusk said his group’s failure to emerge on top was partly due to strong turnout in PiS heartlands in eastern Poland and throughout the countryside.”
Tusk’s party did well in Warsaw, where the incumbent mayor Rafal Trzaskowski secured re-election without having to go into a second round of voting.
Trzaskowski is the name KO wants to be the candidate for President in an election due next year.
The Presidency is key for Tusk’s ambitions to reform the judiciary and to diminish the influence of PiS’ conservative ideals on public life.
Marc Anthony Bru was seen on January 6th raising his phone to document the events as they unfolded that day at the US Capitol.
Marc Bru was found guilty earlier this month for 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.
Marc’s mother wrote to The Gateway Pundit to share her experiences as the mother of a J6 political prisoner.
It was a beautiful sunny day, the kind to jump into the car and go for a ride. I called Marc, my son, and asked him to take me to my storage unit to drop off a few boxes there. We chatted our way there and pulled gingerly into the park.
After he had taken a box in, I waited in the car.
Moments later, he came back to the car and got in when all of a sudden, many local sheriffs and FBI agents came toward us, barking out commands using military tactics on civilians and ordering us to “comply or we will shoot you.”
Marc shouted out, “Don’t shoot us, this is my mom!”
It felt like the Clark County, WA sheriff who questioned me was harassing me, trying to coerce an answer that I didn’t have for him before he seemed to turn his attention to something else and left. He came back several times, asking the same questions. I was calm but it felt I was being harassed by the Clark County Sheriff Officer who questioned me.
They searched the car trunk, backseat, my purse, and anything else they could find. No warrant
was shown to me for them to look at my things. Later, 45 minutes or so, I was told I could go, and I was warned, I was being released as a courtesy to return to my apartment. The car I was driving was a salvaged vehicle with a 3-day pass.
(Thank God Marc left his dog with a friend that day.)
It was the following day after he was seen in federal court in Portland, OR. You can look up his name on the web. The MSM built the narrative that he was dangerous. Photos show him walking in the DC Capital looking at the art and building interior. Several comments paint him as a leader in Portland, OR. area as an insurrection leader. This is simply not true. When he was in Portland, OR. it was to protect the backs of law enforcement and maintain safety for women and peaceful protestors.
He was released with an ankle monitor (which remained on over 6+ months). Limited time and schedule for in-home monitoring included a timeline to walk the dog and get his groceries. Much of which was almost impossible to do because of the location.
As a mom, it remains a nightmare, as the Feds also politically assassinated Marc’s character by labeling him a Domestic Terrorist (sovereign citizen), Marc has rebutted the claim several times in local courts around the country, including social media. Refer to his X account and Truth Social to find out how he feels about the Sovereign Citizen movement, which he is not, nor ever was a part of.
Challenges as a J6 mom: Knowing the following, as I’ve heard many others mention, here are a few things I have learned:
Nutrition: Food is far from acceptable. It varies from jail to jail, prison to prison, but often milk is outdated sour, and juice is fermented.
Vents: Rarely get cleaned and spew out all kinds of particulate garbage when inhaled, including plastic fibers and who knows what else. Noses are dry, cracked, and often bleed.
Water: Far from clean, often toxic with astringent used with the newer plumbing used in chemical plants to keep pipes clean.
The argument in law, that allows/justifies (wrongly or rightly) the capture of a human being is CARE, custody, and control. Many jails are not competent even to fulfill their own obligations.
There is availability of vitamins in some facilities but a lack of access to them for many results in illness, infection, and weight loss. In general, it is a state of degradation in food and/or any supplements, especially minerals, for essential human health.
Medical appointments: They are often unprofessional, biased, and incompetent treatment solutions. If a grievance is filed, rarely do they get recognition to treat or prevent health issues.
The staff: Some of the staff do a good job and care for the inmates. Many lack proper training and /or are politically fueled. All of the above are essential functions and remedies. In order to deliver detainees in the same condition as when taken into custody. The only conclusion is that this is a vindictive and malicious declaration of war against the public. A moral degradation.
Joe Biden on Monday traveled to Wisconsin to deliver remarks on his new student loan bailout plan. He nearly tripped up the short staircase again as he boarded Air Force One.
Biden delivered remarks at Madison College Truax Campus on his new sweeping plan to cancel student loan debt.
CNBC reported on Biden’s new student loan cancelation plan:
President Joe Biden unveiled his new plan to forgive student debt on Monday, less than a year after the Supreme Court blocked his initial attempt.
Biden bragged about ignoring the Supreme Court on his scheme to unilaterally cancel student loan debt.
uring his short, slurred speech, Biden repeated one of his favorite lies. He falsely claimed he was the first in his family to go to college.
“I, like an awful lot of people in this audience, was the first in my family to go to college,” Biden said. That is a lie.
After spending four years destroying our futures, Joe Biden thinks he can simply bribe young people to vote for him.
He knows that this is a false promise. He has no authority to transfer student loans to the taxpayer. We have been down this road before. Why would anyone trust this compulsive liar?
The Justice Department is refusing to hand over audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
“The Committees have responded with escalation and threats of criminal contempt,” the DOJ wrote in a letter to House GOP Chairmen James Comer and Jim Jordan. “We urge the Committees to avoid conflict rather than seek it.”
House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Monday 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.”
Joe Biden attacked Robert Hur during an impromptu presser in February.
“There is even reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden previously told reporters in an impromptu White House press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
What else is Biden lying about? How bad was his memory during the 2-day interview with Robert Hur?
“We will respond to the Justice Department soon,” Comer said.
STATEMENT
The Biden Administration does not get to determine what Congress needs and does not need for its oversight of the executive branch.
The American people deserve to hear the actual audio of President Biden’s answers to Special Counsel Hur.
Special Counsel Robert Hur last month testified before Congress on Biden’s interview on his stolen classified documents scandal that spanned two days.
Robert Hur in February released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.
Robert Hur
Biden’s stolen classified documents were scattered all over the place in damaged cardboard boxes and unlocked drawers at the Penn Biden Center. The documents were also easily accessible in Biden’s Delaware garage and basement den.
Robert Hur found that Joe Biden “willfully retained” classified information, however, he decided not to charge him. Hur said there is evidence Biden retained classified notebooks, “knowing he was not allowed to do so.”
Biden was not charged even though he willfully retained SCIF-designated classified documents and shared material with his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer.
According to Robert Hur, In 2017, Joe Biden read aloud classified passages about meetings in the Situation Room to his ghostwriter “verbatim on at least three occasions” – and Biden still wasn’t charged.
“We also considered whether Mr. Biden willfully disclosed national defense information to his ghostwriter by reading aloud certain classified notebook passages to the ghostwriter nearly verbatim on at least three occasions,” the report read.
Biden wasn’t charged for reading classified information to his ghostwriter because jurors could conclude his actions were “unintentional.”
By prioritizing crisis management in response to escalating tensions, President Biden and his national security team risk inadvertently paving the way for a war between Iran and Israel. The Sullivan doctrine, which appears to avoid taking decisive measures against Iranian aggression, heightens the possibility of a war that could lead to the first-ever use of a nuclear strike in the Middle East.
Historically, Israel has been proactive in preventing its adversaries from acquiring nuclear capabilities, as evidenced by military strikes in Iraq in 1981 (Operation Opera) and Syria in 2007 (Operation Orchard). However, the challenge posed by Iran is notably different in terms of geography and strategy, complicating the application of the Begin Doctrine—Israel’s preemptive strategy to neutralize existential threats.
Iran’s vast geographic expanse, covering approximately 648,195 square miles, significantly surpasses both Iraq (169,235 square miles) and Syria (71,498 square miles). This extensive area allows for the dispersion of nuclear facilities across a broad territory, thereby complicating any potential preemptive strikes. This challenge is intensified by Iran’s daunting terrain, which features significant mountain ranges such as the Elburz, Central and Eastern ranges, and the Zagros Mountains. Many of Iran’s nuclear facilities have been strategically placed to exploit these rugged landscapes for natural fortification. For instance, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant is notably entrenched within a mountain near Qom, rendering it a formidable target for aerial attacks. Likewise, the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant, although not situated in as mountainous an area, is heavily fortified and partially underground, increasing the complexity of targeting. The Arak Heavy Water Reactor, while not as deeply fortified as Fordow, benefits from a strategic location that utilizes both natural and man-made defenses, enhancing its security.
The logistical challenge posed by the distance from Israel to key Iranian locations significantly complicates potential military operations. Israeli fighter jets, such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-15 Eagle, and the F-35 Lightning II, necessitate in-flight refueling for round-trip missions to Iran—a stark contrast to the shorter distances involved in operations against Iraq and Syria. The need for in-flight refueling, together with the need to secure overflight permissions through the airspace of several countries, some of which do not maintain formal diplomatic relations with Israel, introduces diplomatic and logistical hurdles not present in the operations against Iraq and Syria.
Given the historical context of the Jewish people and the establishment of the state of Israel, the nation perceives every armed conflict as a fight for its very existence. This perspective leads Israel to approach potential or actual conflicts as if it were engaged in total war. Due to Israel’s narrow geographical dimensions, it faces unique strategic limitations in any potential military conflict. For instance, in a scenario involving Iran, the latter could potentially use Syrian territory to retreat and reorganize, trading space for time. This strategy, leveraging the geography to its advantage, is not viable for Israel given its limited size and close proximity to conflict zones. Consequently, Iran’s ability to utilize additional space for military maneuvers presents a strategic advantage that Israel does not possess.
Consequently, Israel has sought to secure buffer zones free from Iranian or its proxies presence, enhancing the effectiveness of its air defense capabilities. Israel has also tried to disrupt the border crossings between Syria and Lebanon, and Syria and Iraq. The success of these objectives is partially contingent upon Russia refraining from extending its anti-aircraft defense coverage. Russia’s deployment of the S-300 and S-400 air defense systems significantly constrained Israel’s freedom of movement in Syrian airspace, effectively undermining its air superiority. This shift became starkly apparent when the Syrian government, utilizing the S-300 system supplied by Russia, downed an Israeli fighter-bomber back in February 2018.
The Biden administration’s adherence to the Sullivan doctrine led to an inadequate response following the killing of three US troops and the missile attacks on ships navigating through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This American inaction has forced Israel to adopt more assertive measures. Nonetheless, Israel’s approach to countering Iranian aggression, mainly by targeting key figures within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as well as the US’s focus on striking Shiite militia proxies in Iraq and Syria, does not address the broader strategic challenges posed by Iran effectively. This strategy overlooks the pivotal roles of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy (IRIN) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN), which are instrumental in executing Iran’s broader strategic objectives of regime stabilization and regional hegemony.
The IRIN, as the conventional naval arm of Iran’s armed forces under Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, operates under the framework of traditional naval doctrine. Conversely, the IRGCN, led by Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, leverages unconventional naval warfare, especially in the geopolitically crucial Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. This oversight in not directly countering the capabilities and operations of the IRIN and IRGCN, results in the United States and Israel’s measures falling short, thereby permitting Iran to further its regional dominance ambitions with reduced contention.
A major reorganization of these forces occurred under Mahmoud Ahmadinajad, as the IRGCN began receiving more political and resource support than the IRIN. This support facilitated the IRGCN’s acquisition of advanced weapons and equipment, bolstering its capabilities in asymmetric warfare. While the IRIN enhanced its capabilities with the acquisition of three Russian Kilo-class submarines in 1991, it still lacks the comprehensive capabilities of a blue-water navy, largely due to budgetary constraints. In contrast, the IRGCN has achieved significant advancements, most recently with anti-ship Khalij Fars ballistic missiles.
The IRGCN has conducted significant naval exercises, demonstrating its operational capabilities in the Persian Gulf. These activities included a simulated attack on U.S. aircraft carriers and the detention of the MV Maersk Tigris merchant ship in the Strait of Hormuz demonstrating its operational reach. Additionally, the IRGCN has provided extensive support to the Houthis in Yemen. Despite international sanctions, Iran continues to modernize its naval forces, posing a strategic deterrent in key maritime zones. Considering that approximately a quarter of the global oil supply is sourced from the Persian Gulf, Iran’s dominance in this region can have significant impacts on the worldwide economy.
Iran’s maritime defense strategy extends its operational reach to include the Gulf of Aden and Yemeni waters. A strategic reorganization has optimized force deployment by assigning distinct Areas of Responsibility to each naval component: the IRGCN is tasked with operations within the Persian Gulf, while the IRIN assumes command over the Gulf of Oman and the Caspian Sea. Both forces maintain shared operational authority in the Strait of Hormuz. This tactical segmentation has led to differentiated strategic directives, mission profiles, and force compositions for each naval body.
Iran’s naval doctrine has been refined through lessons learned from the Tanker War, during which commercial oil tankers belonging to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia—both key allies of Iraq—were targeted. These attacks aimed to cripple the economic infrastructure that supported Iraq’s war effort. In April 1988, a pivotal moment unfolded when the USS Samuel B. Roberts hit an Iranian mine, suffering significant damage. This incident led to the launch of Operation Praying Mantis by the U.S. Navy, marking the largest naval battle since World War II. The operation saw significant destruction or damage to Iranian naval assets, with American forces experiencing no losses of their vessels.
In World War II, the German navy used U-boat wolf packs to conduct devastating attacks on Allied shipping convoys across the Atlantic Ocean. These tactics relied on the element of surprise, coordination among submarines, and the ability to launch concentrated attacks under cover of darkness. Conversely, Iran’s IRGCN employs swarming tactics using fast, agile boats equipped with missiles, torpedoes, and sometimes explosives for suicide attacks. Unlike the German strategy of aiming for outright destruction, Iran’s tactics are more about asserting control over its nearby waters, harassment and disruption of enemy naval presence, and controlling vital maritime choke points. As Iran acquires missiles with longer ranges and greater precision, its strategic reach could expand to include the Gulf of Oman.
The IRGCN is unlikely to attempt a complete shutdown of the Strait, as such an action would not only severely harm Iran’s economy but also undermine its capability to sustain a prolonged military conflict with the U.S., the United Kingdom, and Gulf Arab states. Instead, Iran would likely employ naval mines and utilize the speed, maneuverability, and stealth of its fast boats in the shallow and narrow waters to challenge and overwhelm the larger and heavier vessels deployed by the United States and its allies in the region. The IRGCN’s approach to asymmetric warfare heavily emphasizes the concepts of jihad and martyrdom, highlighting the strategic depth and ideological commitment behind their tactics.
The IRGCN uniquely merges ideological beliefs with military operations. The foundation of this commitment is deeply rooted in ideological indoctrination that draws inspiration from religious texts, notably Surah Al-Anfal 8:65. This verse instills the belief that a small contingent of devout believers can outmatch a larger force of non-believers, underscoring the power of faith and conviction over sheer numbers and technologically superior adversaries.
At the heart of Iranian military doctrine is a pivotal lesson from history: the defeat of Ali ibn Abu Talib, the first Shiite Imam, at the Battle of Siffin, attributed to a lack of unwavering loyalty among his followers. Similarly, the martyrdom of Hussein, the third Shiite Imam, at the Battle of Karbala, stands as a profound symbol of defiance against tyranny, irrespective of the circumstances. These historical episodes highlight the doctrine’s focus on complete obedience to leadership and the willingness to fight under challenging conditions. As a result, the military depends on fighters who are not only thoroughly indoctrinated with these principles but are also prepared to lay down their lives for their convictions.
The philosophy of seeking martyrdom, deeply rooted in certain beliefs, was vividly demonstrated during the Iran-Iraq War by thousands of Iranian volunteers through suicide attacks. They were motivated by the conviction that dying for their faith was a sacred duty. These same tactics have been witnessed in Palestinian suicide bombings and Al Qaeda. Alongside, Iran has launched significant public recruitment efforts, calling on volunteers ready to embrace martyrdom.
After Hamas’s terrorist attack in October 2023, Iran intensified these recruitment campaigns, aiming to rally its citizens against Israel. The Iranian regime broadcasted appeals on national television, urging viewers to register their willingness to fight in Palestine and introduced an online platform for volunteer registration, showcasing a methodical recruitment strategy. In 2005, more than two hundred individuals volunteered for suicide missions targeting American and Israeli interests, motivated by organizations that honor martyrs of the global Islamic movement.

Earlier today, President Trump released a statement on his positions for abortion and abortion rights.
President Trump stated on Truth Social that he believes the individual states should be allowed to make abortion policy.
President Trump also announced his support for IVF treatments for families that want a baby, saying, “The Republican Party should always stand for life.”
Following his remarks Trump slammed Senator Lindsey Graham for his previous remarks on abortion.
Lindsey Graham is famous for delivering the midterms to Democrats with his proposed abortion regulations after Graham announced legislation to ban abortion in the US after 15 weeks.
Lindsey wanted to make sure Democrats have something to push them to the polls.
Lindsey and Republicans had no chance of passing such legislation. They were not in the majority. But Lindsey announced his plans anyway.
After Lindsey’s remarks Democrats did surprisingly well in the 2022 midterm elections.
Today after his remarks on abortion rules and regulations.
Then he fired off a series on Truth Social posts targeting Lindsey Graham.
President Trump: After we won, Marjorie Dannenfelser of SBA, and Lindsey Graham, started saying, “No, let’s go back to the Federal Government with 0 weeks,” and when they got nowhere, they upped it to 6 week, and more recently they upped it to 15 weeks, and were obviously willing to take the number UPWARD, UPWARD, UPWARD because they were getting nowhere with the Democrats, and they never will, because the Democrats would never give up on this Issue no matter how many weeks the Republicans went – even if they went, “Unlimited Abortion!” We had a Great Victory, it’s back in the States where it belongs, and where everyone wanted it.
In another social media post, President Trump said, “Senator Lindsey Graham and Marjorie Dannenfelser should study the 10th Amendment and States’ Rights. When they do, they should proudly get on with helping Republicans to WIN ELECTIONS, rather than making it impossible for them to do so!”
President Trump: And in a third post President Trump blamed himself for Lindsey being in the US Senate today.
I blame myself for Lindsey Graham, because the only reason he won in the Great State of South Carolina is because I Endorsed him!
Obviously, President Trump has had his fill with Lindsey Graham.
Pope Francis did something not very usual, and issued a declaration yesterday (7), called ‘Dignitas Infinita’, in which he strongly defended the Catholic Church’s dogma and doctrine without trying to ‘improve’ or ‘modernize’ it.
Christians around the world celebrated it, but not – of course – fake Catholic Joe Biden.
The US president, called a ‘cafeteria Catholic’, who picks and chooses which parts of the teaching he respects, had to side with the trans indoctrination over the pontiff – as one would expect.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was questioned about Pope Francis’ declaration condemning gender theory on Monday, and affirmed President Biden’s support for ‘the transgender community’.
“A reporter pressed Jean-Pierre regarding the Pope’s Monday document, which formally reaffirms and expands on the Catholic Church’s assertion that attempts to alter an individual’s immutable gender are ultimately misguided attempts to play God. Jean-Pierre declined to say what Biden thought of the document specifically, but added that he does support the transgender community.
‘We are pleased to see that the document… furthered the Vatican’s call to ensure that LGBTQ+ are protected from violence and imprisonment around the world. However, the president will continue to be an advocate for the rights, safety and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender people here in the U.S.’, Jean-Pierre said in response to a reporter who asked for a response to the document.”
Reporters wanted to know about the more specific comments about gender theory and transgender individuals, making KJP to try and walk a tightrope.
“‘I’m going to be really careful. The president’s role to litigate internal Church policy, that’s not his role, so I’m gonna be super careful there’, Jean-Pierre said. ‘But I can speak to the president’s stance, and he’s always been very clear on the importance of protecting or having protections for the transgender community and the broader LGBTQ+ community, and that’s been very clear since day one of his administration’.”
‘Dignitas Infinita’,dealt with a dozen contemporary issues through the lens of scripture and church teaching.
Those included abortion, human trafficking, poverty, euthanasia and the death penalty, among others.
The name of the declaration is the Latin for ‘Infinite Dignity’, and it was released after five years in development by the Holy Office, focusing on threats to human dignity in the modern world.
“‘Regarding gender theory, whose scientific coherence is the subject of considerable debate among experts, the Church recalls that human life in all its dimensions, both physical and spiritual, is a gift from God’, the document states. ‘This gift is to be accepted with gratitude and placed at the service of the good. Desiring a personal self-determination, as gender theory prescribes, apart from this fundamental truth that human life is a gift, amounts to a concession to the age-old temptation to make oneself God, entering into competition with the true God of love revealed to us in the Gospel’.”
Pope Francis, for once, confronted the world’s ‘most dangerous ideological colonizations’.
“The document continues: ‘Another prominent aspect of gender theory is that it intends to deny the greatest possible difference that exists between living beings: sexual difference. This foundational difference is not only the greatest imaginable difference but is also the most beautiful and most powerful of them. In the male-female couple, this difference achieves the most marvelous of reciprocities. It thus becomes the source of that miracle that never ceases to surprise us: the arrival of new human beings in the world’.”

It thus becomes the source of that miracle that never ceases to surprise us: the arrival of new human beings in the world’.”
While the White House correspondents did not care about it, the document also deals with the Church’s condemnation of abortion and Francis’ strong criticism of surrogate pregnancies, for which he called for a worldwide ban.
Mariano Rivera, the iconic former closer for the New York Yankees, has officially thrown his support behind Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
The announcement comes as former President Trump ramps up his campaign efforts to reclaim the White House.
Rivera, revered in the baseball community for his unparalleled skill on the mound, has expressed his belief that Trump is the right choice to lead the nation once again.
Mariano Rivera, often referred to as ‘Sandman,’ a nickname he earned during his illustrious 19-season tenure with the Yankees, has been lauded by Trump as “maybe the greatest pitcher of all time.”
Their connection was spotlighted in 2019 when Trump, accompanied by Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” awarded Rivera the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.
In a recent conversation with radio host Sid Rosenberg, Rivera was questioned about his views on the current global situation and whether he believed Donald Trump should be re-elected. Rivera, putting aside partisan preferences, stated his support was not about leaning “for the Right or the Left” but rather choosing what’s “right for the country,” according to Gazette.
He emphasized, “President Trump, he’s my friend. I can’t deny that. I will tell that to anyone. Before he was the president, he was my friend. Because of that, I’m going to vote for him.”
The former president shared Rivera’s interview on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, highlighting their mutual respect and friendship.
Stores throughout greater San Francisco have been closing for months. Major retailers have ditched the city, as well as pharmacies and grocery stores. All mainly due to crime and theft.
Now lawmakers in the city want to allow residents to sue grocery stores for closing.
This is completely backwards. The city could stop all of the theft tomorrow if they wanted to by simply enforcing the law. Then the stores wouldn’t close in the first place. But that would entail admitting that the left’s policies are wrong and don’t work, so they’re going after the stores.
San Francisco lawmakers want to let city residents sue grocery stores that close
A pair of progressive San Francisco lawmakers are pushing a bill that would allow residents in the crime-ravaged city to sue grocery stores that close up shop if they don’t give six months’ notice.
The proposal by San Francisco Board of Supervisors members Dean Preston and Aaron Peskin would require business to either find a successor grocer or work out a plan with residents in the neighborhood to ensure the availability of supermarket options.
The Grocery Protection Act – which is based on a proposal the board approved in 1984 that was vetoed by then-San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein — comes amid a rash of retail theft fueled by the city’s drug and homelessness crisis that has led to several business closures.
Whole Foods closed its Market Street location last year after there were 568 emergency calls lodged in a 13-month period due to incidents such as vagrants throwing food, yelling, fighting and attempting to defecate on the floor, according to the New York Times. At least 14 arrests were made at the location.
This video shows some of the major retailers who have left the city in recent months. It’s amazing that the city allowed this to happen.

Orange County Deputy DA Ann Fawaz
A senior deputy district attorney in DA Todd Spitzer’s self proclaimed, supposed anti-crime Orange County, California office, is prosecuting American patriot, pro-freedom activist Kim Sorgente for defending himself against known Santa Ana gangbangers, who attacked him and others with knives and brass knuckles when they raided a ‘Stop the Steal – America First’ rally in December, 2020. The attackers are believed to be supported by George Soros funded organizations.
Thugs beat pro-Trump protesters at a rally following 2020 election.
Three thugs wearing black masks and hoodies, one with devil horns tattooed on his forehead, attacked the freedom rally attendees, even shoving and punching elderly women with brass knuckles. Sorgente stepped in to try and defend the women and others, when confronted by all three gangsters who verbally threatened him and then lunged at him. He defended himself with his megaphone.
When the dust settled, Spitzer’s office decided to prosecute Sorgente, a husband and father of two young children, and defend the Santa Ana ‘Lowell Street Sinners’ gang members, naming them as victims. The crime they charged Kim with? ‘Assault with a Deadly Megaphone.’ He now faces approximately three years in prison.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Ann Fawaz is leading Todd Spitzer’s effort to put Kim away. During ongoing pretrial hearings, you could hear courtroom observers groaning and moaning, expressing disbelief when hearing how she refers to the gangbangers as victims and Kim as the perpetrator. The frustration was even more obvious when observers viewed the video footage of the conflict when shown in court, which clearly depicts Sorgente and the pro-freedom crowd as the victims.
What is more alarming, is that Ann Fawaz, the prosecutor in this case is now running for Orange County Judge (fawazforjudge.com). Another anti-American, ‘Enemy Within’ political candidate trying to snake her way into office, where she can continue helping advance the pro George Soros upside down world agenda, of dismantling law and order, and the American way of life we all once knew and cherished.
Ann who’s birth name is Young Cho, is a Korean American. And by looking at her website, she tries hard to pander to Korean Americans for support of her candidacy. We though can only wonder what the historically anti-communist, conservative Korean American community would think of her if they knew what side of the fight she was really on.
Judge Michael F. Murray and Robert A. Knox who have presided over most of the pretrial hearings have also appeared to pile on Sorgente, issuing ruling after ruling against his legal defense.
As for Todd Spitzer and his recent slogan ‘Don’t LA my OC!’, he should change it to ‘Let’s LA OUR OC!’. Because as the man in charge of this treasonous prosecution of hero Kim Sorgente, he has clearly revealed himself as a George Gascon fanboy admirer. It is traitor Spitzer who has authorized, directed and funded Kim Sorgente’s prosecution, with ‘tiny tyrant in’ training Fawaz willingly and gladly doing his dirty work. And with both of them along with his left wing, mini-gestapo zombies, their obvious aim is to nail Sorgente’s pelt to their trophy wall.
If they can do this to Kim Sorgente, imagine what they will try to do to all of us next. So it is up to each of you to come to Kim’s defense, and if you call yourself an American Patriot, you will! Because if he is put away, the America we are all fighting for, will be significantly weakened because of it.
Kim’s next court date:
Tuesday, April 9, 2024 at 9am.
Central Justice Center
Orange County Superior Court
700 West Civic Center Drive
Santa Ana, CA

If you turned on the TV on Monday afternoon, you couldn’t escape the media coverage of the solar eclipse. Pretty much every news network was covering it for hours. It was a hot topic for most of the day.
Knowing that this would happen, the Trump campaign put out a hilarious eclipse themed ad. You can watch it below.
The ad was obviously meant to be funny, but the liberal media cannot admit that, so they’re pretending to not get the joke.
Media Reaction to Trump’s Solar Eclipse Ad Is Something Else
All too predictably, mainstream outlets rife with joyless libs responded by attacking the ad as “bizarre” and saying Trump’s was “plunging the US into darkness.” In short, the feigned or real obtuseness of their takes betray the fact that there’s still nothing Trump could do that wouldn’t draw liberals’ outrage.
From TIME’s report:
In a new and bizarre campaign ad, Donald Trump’s head takes the place of the moon and blocks out the sun in a nod to Monday’s solar eclipse.
After getting the talking points/marching orders, The Independent joined the pile-on and also used “bizarre” to describe the ad:
On Sunday night, Mr Trump posted a bizarre campaign ad on Truth Social where his own head takes on the role of the moon – blocking out the sun and plunging America into total darkness.
Lots of normal people got the joke with no problem.
Julie Su is Joe Biden’s ‘acting’ labor secretary because even though the U.S. Senate is almost half Democrat, she cannot get confirmed.
The liberal media pretends not to know this, or regularly leaves out this fact, and treats her as completely legitimate.
She appeared on MSNBC recently and actually laughed at the idea that millions of Americans thinking they were better off under Trump which, of course, they were.
SU: “I mean, I say it’s unfortunate that some people try to peddle a story of nostalgia for something that just wasn’t true. I say that — I mean, look at the numbers, right? The numbers don’t lie. You know, the last president kept talking about an infrastructure week that never materialized. President Biden has delivered on an infrastructure decade, where we’re seeing projects, shovels hit the ground in communities all across the country, and it’s just — you know, it’s irresponsible to suggest anything else and, you know — I don”t know what to say about that (Laughs)”
Watch the clip below:
Biden Acting Labor Sec. Julie Su laughs at the millions of Americans who know they were better off under President Trump than Crooked Joe Biden:
Infrastructure under Joe Biden will turn into California's Bullet Train… Years and billions of dollars spent and nothing finished. Meanwhile more stores are closing because of crime & minimum wage stupidity by Democrats & the Social Justice movement. https://t.co/mrEijAjTUZ
Nineteen retired generals, admirals, and former top civilian defense officials have filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, opposing former President Donald Trump’s plea for immunity from prosecution, claiming that granting such a request would pose a significant threat to national security.
The Supreme Court is set to deliberate on Trump’s presidential immunity argument on April 25, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
The Supreme Court will deliberate on whether a president can be shielded from legal consequences for actions taken while in office. The decision, which may not arrive until late June, according to analysts, has significant repercussions for the timeline of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump, potentially delaying the trial’s start until after the 2024 election.
President Trump’s legal team requested the Supreme Court to put a hold on the immunity decision related to Jack Smith’s January 6 case in Washington, D.C. This came after a federal appeals court, influenced by appointees of Joe Biden, had denied Trump immunity.
The three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, consisting of Judges Florence Pan, Michelle Childs (both Biden appointees), and Karen Henderson (a George W. Bush appointee), emphasized the importance of allowing the prosecution to move forward, citing the public’s interest and the structure of the government.
Trump’s lawyers have fervently argued that a former president is immune from federal prosecution for alleged offenses committed while holding office.
“In 234 years of American history, no president ever faced criminal prosecution for his official acts. Until 19 days ago, no court had ever addressed whether immunity from such prosecution exists,” Trump’s lawyers wrote, according to CBS News. “To this day, no appellate court has addressed it. The question stands among the most complex, intricate, and momentous issues that this Court will be called on to decide.”
On Monday, a group of retired military officers, including former four-star generals and admirals as well as past secretaries of the U.S. military branches, filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court.
The group warns of the alleged threats to national security and democratic principles if former President Donald J. Trump’s claims of presidential immunity for official acts were to be accepted.
The 38-page brief, which includes signatures from officials who have served under both Democratic and Republican administrations dating back to the era of former President John F. Kennedy, cautions that Trump’s legal theory could set a dangerous precedent.
Among the signatories include:
Ray Mabus, former secretary of the Navy;
retired Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden, who also served as CIA director;
retired Army Gens. George Casey and Peter Chiarelli;

and retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen.
They are joined by former civilian defense officials, including Louis Caldera, Deborah Lee James, and Sean O’Keefe.
Should the theory of absolute immunity prevail, the group argues, it will “risk jeopardizing America’s standing as a guardian of democracy in the world and further feeding the spread of authoritarianism, thereby threatening the national security of the United States and democracies around the world.”
The retired military officials also expressed concerns about the potential chaos and security risks that could arise if a President faced no accountability for criminal actions aimed at obstructing a peaceful transition of power.
They highlight scenarios where conflicting directives from the Joint Chiefs of Staff could endanger service members and jeopardize America’s national security and leadership role in the world.
In conclusion, the retired four-star admirals and generals, alongside former military secretaries, urge the rejection of the claimed immunity, emphasizing the critical need to uphold the rule of law, accountability, and the peaceful transition of power to safeguard national security and democratic principles.
It should be noted that the U.S. Supreme Court has addressed presidential immunity in several landmark cases, including the Nixon v. Fitzgerald (1982)
This case directly addressed presidential immunity. The Supreme Court ruled that the President is entitled to absolute immunity from civil liability for actions taken within the official duties of the presidency. This means that while in office, the President cannot be sued for damages related to official actions.

Maybe they should be focusing on winning future wars and not trashing the former Commander in Chief instead?
Former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile appeared on ABC News This Week on Sunday and complained that when Joe Biden speaks nobody listens.
That’s not completely true, of course. Lots of people listen when he lies about his personal history, or when he says completely stupid things about domestic and foreign policy.
What many people do not do, is take him seriously or pay attention to his opinions. Maybe that’s what Brazile really meant.
Ex-DNC chair Donna Brazile frets ‘nobody listens’ when Biden talks
Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile expressed frustration with the media coverage of President Biden on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, complaining that no one “listens” to the president when he speaks.
Brazile’s blunt remarks came during a discussion on the U.S. policy toward Israel, in which she was asked if Biden needed to be more upfront with Americans about the war in Gaza.
“Absolutely. Not just in Israel, Ukraine. We are a superpower. He is the Commander In Chief. Absolutely, he should speak out more,” she urged, before seeming to take a swipe at the media.
“Also we should cover what he’s saying because often when he speaks, nobody listens.”
Brazile’s comments follow several reports detailing the White House’s frustrations with media reports on Biden’s age and cognitive abilities.
Here’s the video:

No one listens because the POTUS has dementia ! He makes up stories and outright lies. He reads off of notes prepared for him. He's not in charge is what he portrays in every speech or interview. It's all a script. That's why no one listens. https://t.co/yLUNC8jX0f

One of the most interesting things about that clip is Brazile’s body language and tone. She seems genuinely frustrated. What does that tell you?
Earlier this year, the House of Representatives impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, marking the first cabinet member to be impeached in nearly 150 years and the first sitting cabinet secretary to ever face such charges.
The impeachment, decided by a knife-edge vote of 214 to 213, accuses Secretary Mayorkas of high crimes and misdemeanors, including a “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” regarding U.S. border policy and a “breach of public trust.”
This outcome followed a previous tie in the House, partly due to three RINOs, Tom McClintock (CA), Ken Buck (CO), and Mike Gallagher (WI), siding with the Democrats, was broken with the return of Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who cast the deciding vote in favor of impeachment.
Now, as the impeachment process moves to the Senate, Heritage Action, a prominent conservative advocacy group, has announced its intention to target Senate Republicans who have expressed their intention to vote against the impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas, the Washington Examiner reported.
Heritage Action, the sister organization of the Heritage Foundation, is gearing up for a vigorous campaign to ensure the trial against Mayorkas proceeds this week.
According to Ryan Walker, the Executive Vice President of Heritage Action, the border crisis, which he attributes to the Biden regime, ranks as the foremost concern among Americans.
Walker criticizes Senate Republicans opposing the impeachment as being “massively out of touch” with their constituents.
The advocacy group has vowed to declare any procedural motion that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer introduces as a “key vote.”
Furthermore, any Republican voting alongside Democrats to dismiss or table the impeachment trial will face significant backlash, including targeted messaging toward Heritage Action’s two million grassroots supporters. The group emphasizes that such a vote would be seen as a complicit action in Schumer’s “cover-up” and the border crisis itself.
“Anyone who does Schumer’s bidding and votes to dismiss or table will be complicit in his cover-up and the border crisis itself,” Walker said per Newsmax. “Senators who would rather focus on the terrible bills Schumer has put forward instead of holding a trial for Mayorkas cannot be trusted by conservatives. Heritage Action stands with Americans demanding accountability and will key vote any procedural move put forth to sweep the charges against Mayorkas under the rug.”
The impeachment process is anticipated to intensify in the coming days. House Speaker Mike Johnson last month notified Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that the House will deliver the articles of impeachment against DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on Wednesday, April 10.
“Together with the 11 House impeachment managers, I sent a letter to Senator Schumer telling him we’ll deliver the articles of Secretary Mayorkas’ impeachment to the Senate on April 10th and that he must hold a full trial,” Speaker Johnson said.
“The American people deserve accountability,” he added.
Secretary Mayorkas is also slated to appear on Capitol Hill for two congressional hearings regarding his department’s budget, coinciding closely with the initiation of the Senate impeachment proceedings.
Joel Pollak, the Senior Editor-at-Large and In-House Counsel at Breitbart News joined his former boss Steve Bannon on the War Room on Monday morning.
Joel has traveled to Israel numerous times since the October 7 massacre of Jews by Hamas when 1,300 innocent Jews were slaughtered by Hamas terrorists in their homes, on the streets of southern Israel, and at an all-night rave dance party. It was the most barbaric attack Jews since the horrors of World War II.
Joel Pollak described how the malevolent Biden regime has launched its own assault against Israel during their current war against Hamas.
Steve Bannon: Joel Pollack, who was Andrew Breitbart’s Executive Editor, later became the Senior Editor at Large at all things at Breitbart, has written a couple of brilliant pieces, I think, over the last week. So, Joel, help me out here. There are four combat brigades of Hamas. Everybody agrees with this. This is not even a question. There are four combat brigades of Hamas in Southern Gaza. There’s two combat brigades, essentially, in Judea, Samaria. So that’s six. I think there were originally 21. The IDF retreated or pulled back, attacked to a retreat over the weekend after a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu and Biden, and also this massive protest on Saturday night. You said this was coming. You wrote that the Color Revolution is coming to Israel to remove Netanyahu and basically to surrender to the radical Muslim Brotherhood franchisee Hamas.
Now, our audience is very familiar with Color Revolution, given the great work of Darren Beatty and Rahim Kassam and Michael Benz about Victoria Nuland in Ukraine and the Color Revolution against Trump in the summer of 2020. Tell me, what do you mean? Has Bibi blinked? Are they actually going to withdraw these troops and not take care of, not finish the job against these six remaining combat divisions, sir?
Joel Pollak: …President Biden told Netanyahu in that phone call last week that he wanted an immediate ceasefire. And that was extraordinary because the Biden administration essentially took the side of Hamas that says they won’t exchange hostages in any deal until there’s a ceasefire first. For many months, both Israel and the United States were on the same page saying, You only get a ceasefire if you give hostages. Hamas has said, No, we want to ceasefire first. Then, of course, there’s no guarantee they give up the hostages. They have a much stronger bargaining position. They’re not under military pressure. Biden essentially took the side of Hamas in that negotiation. That is now the official position of the Biden administration. And what becomes clear, before we get to the bit about the Color Revolution, what becomes clear is that Biden has been using Hamas in the last two months as leverage against Israel. That is to say, when Israel came close to destroying Hamas, first in the city of Khan Younes and now in Raqqa. Biden tried to stop Israel from destroying Hamas because he wants to use this war to leverage a broader deal in the Middle East…
…Biden is publicly trashing our ally, and it is making the mullets in Iran very happy. It’s making Hamas very happy. This has always been their strategy. Put as many civilians in harm’s way as possible, create global international outrage, and hope that the United States forces Israel to withdraw. It looks like that is happening…
…Now, in Israel, the other problem, aside from the Palestinian question, is the political instability that’s being fomented there in this color revolution that we discussed earlier. The Biden administration is pushing the internal instability of Israel.
They’re trying to topple Netanyahu because he is the last obstacle to the Biden administration’s grand utopian plans for the Middle East that include capitulating heading to Iran, allowing the Palestinians to have a state, and allowing these other forces to run amok, not just in the Middle East, but all over the world. They don’t have a plan for dealing with that. Their plan simply is to give in. And Netanyahu has stood up to Obama and Biden for a decade saying, You can’t do this. This doesn’t make sense. This is not the reality of the Middle East.
And because he’s the one person who will tell it straight to them, they want him out of the way. Biden and Schumer have said openly, They want new elections in Israel to get of Netanyahu. There was a very interesting intelligence assessment. It was prepared in February, but it came out in March from the US intelligence agencies predicting that there would be protests to topple Netanyahu. At the time, there were no protests. And all of a sudden, after this assessment comes out, there are protests, and the timing is very suspicious. In addition, the White House hosted Netanyahu’s main political rival, Benny Gantz, who’s a former IDF chief of staff, former general, but he’s Netanyahu’s main rival. He shows up at the White House without telling Netanyahu right after this intelligence assessment comes out or around the same time.
And it’s absolutely clear to everybody what’s going on here that the White House of the Biden administration is trying to push Netanyahu out of office by using the same color revolution tactics they’ve used to topple other democratically elected governments.
They create the illusion of public outrage and public unrest. And what you don’t see are the 75 % of Israelis who agree with Netanyahu’s policies, who want to go into Raqqa and finish off Hamas, who are sending their sons and daughters into the army, into the military reserves, leaving work, leaving home, going in there. At the beginning of the war, when I went in October, right after October seventh, I said that if Netanyahu did not invade Gaza, the army that was camped out on the border with Gaza would turn around, go back to Jerusalem, kick him out of office, and then go back and fight the war, because the people of Israel want to be rid of Hamas. They support the war. They support the policies that Netanyahu has adopted. But Biden is backing the left-wing opposition, which can’t win elections anymore in Israel.
Joel is heading back to Israel this week.
Here is Joel Pollak with Steve Bannon on The War Room.
Brazil’s conservatives and freedom lovers are in a state of bliss watching billionaire Elon Musk stare down their very own Supreme Court Justice-turned tyrant Alexandre de Moraes, using the unvarnished truth to demolish his reputation, and subjecting the justice to a barrage of ridicule that he so deserves.
The story is very simple: not only is Moraes demanding that X suspend the accounts of prominent conservatives, against Brazilian law, and under the penalty of heavy daily fines, but he also ‘forbids’ the company from even mentioning the reason for their suspension – X would have to pretend they were struck because they broke the platform terms of use – which they have not.
Musk: “We kept getting these demands from Judge Alexandre to suspend accounts of sitting members of the parliament and major journalists. We could not tell them that this was at the behest of Alexandre, we had to pretend that it was due to our rules. And that was the last straw, and we said no.”
So, now it seems as if Musk is the iceberg into which the Titanic ship of Brazil’s unbridled censorship will crash and sink.
Moraes included Musk on the ridiculous inquiry against the – nonexistent – ‘digital militias’ and so X’s head started to tell the world the real deal about the reality of Brazil’s politics:
How did @Alexandre de Moraes become the dictator of Brazil? He has Lula on a leash
Just read this from Glenn Greenwald: “The only time in my entire career as a journalist that I have ever wondered if I should really be questioning, challenging, or critiquing a political official is this person, who has gone so far as to order people to be imprisoned without a trial for criticizing him. […] If you criticize Alexandre De Moraes, you get banned or perhaps imprisoned, which is why I spent every second up until this show started on the phone with my lawyers.”
Criticism of Moraes actions came even from where you’d least expect it, with the founder of Eurasian Movement of Russia, Alexander Dugin declaring support for the African-American billionaire in his Free Speech stance against liberal-aligned Brazilian Supreme Court:
I think the decision of Brasil to censor https://t.co/JPsGKa01ru is wrong and disastrous. It is obvious that it is for now the only global network without any censorship. We can hate something that is going on on https://t.co/JPsGKa01ru or adore. But the real freedom is like…
“I think the decision of Brasil to censor http://x.com/ is wrong and disastrous. It is obvious that it is for now the only global network without any censorship. We can hate something that is going on on http://x.com/ or adore. But the real freedom is like this.
Only http://x.com/ can provide the correct picture how the things really are on the global scale.
And it is wothless in the era of total falsehood. Obviuosly, http://x.com/ is not ultimate truth and it doesn’t pretend to be it. Just good old freedom of speech we have lost anywhere else…”
Brazil is watching this unfold with a big smile on its face. But, while the country’s shortcomings are being shown to the world in an spectacular fashion, it’s also good to know that this is also made by the US State Department and Joe Biden, who were behind the sudden emergence of Moraes as an über censor.
Here’s Musk finding out that he is being investigated by Brazilian Federal police:
Guest post by Illinois patriots Terry Newsome and Paul Drabik
Illinois GOP Chairman Don Tracy (on left) and Senate Minority Leader John Curran (on right)
RINO (Republican in Name Only) is a description of a Republican who claims the moniker for party affiliation but works against the principles and values of Republicanism in terms of policy prescription. Terry Newsome and Paul Drabik of Behind Enemy Lines podcast have been fighting for conservative values in Illinois since Covid hit. The Gateway Pundit has previously reported on their efforts to expose the illegal immigration crisis in Illinois as they partnered with Ben Bergquam of Real America’s Voice. Newsome was also named in a petition to keep Joe Biden off the Illinois ballot. In early March Newsome and Drabik held a sold out, standing room only fundraiser for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on the Southside of Chicago. Underlying their unwavering stand against the left has been an insidious foe on the so-called right. In Illinois the Republicans tend to be more Democrat than Republican.
As many Americans are aware, there is a long running Communist insurrection – a real insurrection – in effect across the country. Nowhere is this truth more apparent than in the Prairie State. Ironically, the home of Abraham Lincoln has become a testing laboratory for the introduction of Communist style legislation. Lawmakers such as Anne Stava-Murray, a state representative of the 81st district, openly praise communists like Caesar Chavez on social media.
Representatives like Stava-Murray sponsor legislation at the state level that is openly violative of the Constitution. It may seem like hyperbole to assert that states like Illinois, California, or New York are Communist states but if you want to test that assertion just look to the legislation being proposed and enacted into law. In Illinois for example, Democrats have either proposed or made laws such as (links embedded):
The First and Second Amendments are currently under assault with a second amendment violation headed to the Supreme Court. Illinois enacted over 30 pages of new legislation in 2024! This is what happens when a corrupted Democrat party gains super-majority control.
Where are the Republicans in all of this you may ask? For starters, the party is led by an heir to the Dot Foods, food redistribution empire. Don Tracy, Chairman of the Illinois GOP and born with a silver spoon, has apparently had a change of heart over the years. Tracy ran, unsuccessfully, for Illinois State Senate as a DEMOCRAT. Tracy was forced to step down as the Illinois Gaming Board Chairman in 2019 for making improper campaign contributions. More to come on Tracy later.
Jussie Smollett upper left; Former Cook County Prosecutor Kim Foxx, on right
In Illinois, the RINO problem leaks all the way down to the local level. DuPage County is directly west of Cook County and has long been a stronghold for Republicans. In fact, 2022 saw the first ever Democrat – Deb Conroy – voted in as DuPage County Chairman. Conroy had some help in achieving that feat. Former Republican members of the DuPage County board Don Puchalski and Sam Tornatore both donated to Deb Conroy’s campaign. They did not stop there however. Both RINOs also donated to the radical Soros funded prosecutor of Cook County, Kim Foxx. Foxx, famous for letting Jussie Smollett off the hook, has also reigned during an unprecedented spike of crime in Chicago during her tenure. She is directly responsible for the recidivism of violent criminals who have gone on to commit murders including child victims. Unsurprisingly, Conroy appointed Puchalski to a paid position at the DuPage County airport.
Saving the best for last we come to the State Senate Minority leader John Curran. As a Republican, Curran ran unopposed in 2022. It’s no wonder that he was unchallenged when he voted and advocated for a union friendly bill that will assuredly drain Illinois taxpayers in perpetuity. Curran voted for Amendment 1 to the Illinois Constitution. Positioned as a Union friendly bill, Amendment 1 is the assured path to Communism in Illinois. Authorizing plenary power for public unions in the Illinois Constitution, the Amendment gives unions the Constitutional protection to collectively bargain to “…protect their economic welfare and safety at work.” This broad terminology has emboldened the Chicago Teachers Union in an attempt to abuse this power by proposing a 100% increase in the state budget to, among other things, pay for housing for its members.
Communism in Illinois is here.
The Democrats are only following the natural progression of a political system that has become solely based on the will to power. In that system, the lack of will from an opposition becomes most dangerous. RINOs are the biggest problem Illinois faces.
For even more detail of the corruption and deceit look for the second installment of RINOs in Illinois.

“The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.” – JFK
Capitalism and free markets are the primary drivers of wealth creation while also protecting personal freedoms. Socialism and government intervention tend to erode personal freedoms and produce only temporary prosperity, addressing specific issues for certain groups while impoverishing others and overlooking the underlying causes of problems.
Biden’s American Rescue Plan was a good example of how ineffective socialism is at solving economic problems. By sending a $1,500 check to every poor person, he claimed, incorrectly, to have done more to reduce poverty than any other president.
Firstly, the American Rescue Plan drove up the US debt and pushed inflation to levels not seen in decades. Additionally, the $1,500 did not reduce poverty. The poverty threshold for a family of 3 is $25,820 per year. So, unless these families fell short by exactly $1,500, he did not bring them above the threshold that year. And unless he planned to send checks to all 37.9 million Americans living below the poverty line every year, forever, he has not eliminated poverty.
The only way for these people to rise out of poverty is to get a better job with a higher salary. So, the solution is free markets, not socialism.
The US ranks among the most capitalist countries in the world. In a capitalist society, the means of production are controlled by private businesses and private citizens, not the government. The economy runs according to the market, not central planning. Prices, wages, quantities, and types of production are determined by the market, with information transmitted from buyers to sellers millions of times per day.
In a capitalist society, a fast-food restaurant has the right to make a fish and peanut butter milkshake, but by refusing to buy that product, citizens signal that they do not want it, and the producer will either stop selling it or go out of business.
On average, the more government intervention there is in the economy, the lower the standard of living will be. As a hypothetical example, if the peanut butter and fish milkshake company had a government subsidy, it could remain in business, even though no one wants that product. The money the government spends supporting the unwanted fish and peanut butter milkshake company could have been spent on border security, which is one of the only purviews of government in capitalism.
In a true capitalist society, the government only has three responsibilities: maintaining courts and public security for protecting personal property rights, building infrastructure, and protecting the border. The further the government deviates from these limited mandates, the more money is wasted.
This report will compare four countries: the US, which has an economic freedom score calculated by Freedom House of 8.22, and the more socialist countries, Germany with an economic freedom score of 7.85, China with a score of 6.2, and Venezuela with a score of 3.34.
Standard of living can be quantified in the Quality of Life Index, which ranks countries based on the level of wealth, comfort, necessities, and material goods available to citizens. It also examines physical and mental health and wellness. Germany, with a score of 91.26, ranks slightly higher than the US at 89.11, but this is probably because of obesity and obesity-related illnesses, which decrease the health indicator in the US. But on some level, obesity is a positive sign of wealth. China, at 82.80, and Venezuela, at 71.66, rank worse off, with a lower standard of living.
While socialist countries offer free or heavily subsidized higher education, the United States boasts a diverse array of prestigious universities and colleges, many of which are privately funded. This competitive landscape fosters innovation and excellence in education, attracting students from around the world. The US has 3,100 universities, with 53 ranked in the top 100 globally. China has 2,495 universities, with 6 ranked in the top 100; Germany has 461 universities, with only 1 ranked in the top 100; and Venezuela has 73 universities, with 0 ranked in the top 100.
In terms of the average number of years of education citizens have, in Germany and the US, most adults have had 14 years of education, while in China, the average is 8 years, and in Venezuela, it’s 6.6 years.
For infrastructure, China is always touted as the leader in transportation because they have high-speed rail. However, the US has a much broader transportation infrastructure than any country in the world. The US has 148,553 kilometers of railroad, China has 10,767 kilometers (with a population four times the size of the US), Germany has 33,401 kilometers, and Venezuela has 682 kilometers.
Socialist countries usually have a government-owned national flagship airline, such as Air China or Conviasa in Venezuela. In the US, the airlines are private, and the US has more flights, with more Americans flying each year than citizens in any other country. Furthermore, Americans can afford to buy cars. Cars per capita in the US are 860 out of 1000, in Germany it’s 627 out of 1000, in China it’s 223 out of 1000, and in Venezuela it’s 149 out of 1000.
The US does not have a government sovereign wealth fund. Our outbound investment is private, and yet, the US is the largest source of outbound investment on the planet.
In socialist countries, citizens depend on the government to create jobs. The US, with a relatively free market for jobs, has a low unemployment rate of 3.6%, while in socialist China it is 5.1%, and in Venezuela, it is 7.5%. However, in China, youth unemployment had reached 21.3% last year before Beijing stopped reporting and then changed the definition of youth unemployment to make the number smaller. This is another example of the benefits of a free-market society. We have private institutions, NGOs, and associations that collect and publish data, so there is greater transparency.
The salaries between the US and socialist countries are vastly different. The average American earns about $75,269 per year, while the average German only earns $48,845. In China, it’s $12,598, and in Venezuela, it’s $3,910.
And the final kicker in a socialist country is income tax. In both China and Germany, the top income tax rate is 45%. In the US, it is 37%, and in Venezuela, it is 34%. So, Americans earn dramatically more than people in socialist countries and get to keep a larger percentage of their salary compared to most socialist countries.
Apart from failing to deliver in terms of economic well-being, socialism also falls short of its claim to offer greater freedom. Economic freedom, as already discussed, is higher in the U.S. In general, personal freedoms are also higher. According to the Human Freedom Index, which evaluates countries across the following criteria: Rule of law, Security and safety, Movement, Religion, Association, assembly, and civil society, Expression and information, public health, and a number of other factors, Germany ranked higher than the US at 18th. But this was largely because of the lack of social welfare in the US and because of the higher crime rate. The US ranked as the 23rd most free country in the world, China 152, and Venezuela 163.
As a result of capitalism, Americans earn more, keep more of their salary, and have greater freedom than in socialist countries. Let’s vote to keep it that way.

Tiffany Henyard, mayor of the Chicago suburb of Dolton, is under the spotlight for possible misuse of taxpayer funds. (@nypost / X screen shot)
The Village of Dolton, Illinois’ voted Monday to hire failed former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who let her city burn with rampant crime and violence, to investigate Democrat Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s corruption for a hefty $400 an hour.
Henyard is already under FBI investigation for abusing her power after she shut down businesses that didn’t donate to her campaign.
She has also been accused of stealing charitable funds and even using taxpayer dollars for personal use.
Last month, the corrupt mayor even vetoed an investigation after the Dolton Village Board of Trustees voted unanimously to probe Henyard’s spending and invite the FBI to investigate her scandalous activity.
According to The New York Post, “The heart of her scandals, however, center around a tax-funded ‘economic development’ trip to Las Vegas last May,” which includes allegations of sexual assault.
“She’s the best they can find?” the New York Post asked.
And it appears she is, as the Board officially tasked Lightfoot with “figuring out what happened in Vegas,” as Dolton Board of Trustee member Brittney Norwood put it.
Will Lightfoot do any better than the highly political FBI, or will what happened in Vegas stay in Vegas?
Starting Tuesday, Lightfoot will be paid $400 an hour to gather information on Henyard’s alleged spending and finance mismanagement as well as “any state and federalviolations.”
Ahead of Monday’s vote, Lightfoot said she understood the residents want to go in a different direction from Henyard, and promised to “follow the facts where they lead.”
At the end of her investigation, Lightfoot will present a report to the Village of Dolton on her findings. The findings in the report will determine what happens beyond that.
Henyard has been accused of misdeeds ranging from weaponizing police in retaliatory business raids to spending taxpayer money on luxuries like traveling to Las Vegas. Last month, Henyard reportedly vetoed the board’s resolution to probe her spending over purported misuse of funds.
On Monday, the Florida Highway Patrol arrested a woman who reportedly went on a shooting spree on Interstate 10 in Holmes County, Florida, because of the solar eclipse.
Taylon Celestine, 22, has been charged with attempted murder, improper discharge of a firearm, and battery with a deadly weapon.
In a statement to the press, Florida authorities reported Celestine “had recently checked out of a local hotel and told the staff she was going on a shooting spree, directed by ‘God’ in relation to the solar eclipse.”

Florida Highway Patrol reported Celestine was driving a purple Dodge Challenger and began her shooting spree on Interstate 10 at the 112-mile mark when she began firing at a vehicle on the freeway.
The vehicle was struck multiple times, but the driver was able to pull off to the side and did not suffer any injuries.
Celestine continued driving after firing shots at the vehicle and opened fire again on marker 107, where she reportedly shot another vehicle, resulting in the driver being shot in the neck.
The driver of the vehicle was rushed to the hospital, and his medical status is currently being withheld from the public at this time.
Police later found Celestine at mile marker 96, where officers conducted a search of the woman’s vehicle and discovered an AR-15 and a handgun in her car.
The Florida Highway Patrol arrested a woman who reportedly went on a “shooting spree” on Interstate 10 in Holmes County because of Monday’s solar eclipse, the agency said in a news release.
Taylon Nichelle Celestine, 22, of Georgia, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and improper discharge of a firearm.
She is being held in the Holmes County Jail, FHP said. Troopers said they recovered an AR-15 and a 9 mm handgun.
“The suspect … recently checked out of a local hotel and told the staff she was going on a shooting spree, directed by God in relation to the solar eclipse,” the news release said.
On Monday, The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the governing body for predominately small colleges overseeing approximately 83,000 student-athletes at schools across the country, announced a policy restricting transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.
NAIA’s Council of Presidents formed the NAIA Transgender Task Force in April 2022. NAIA’s policy had mirrored that of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) until January of 2022 and permitted transgender athletes to participate on teams that corresponded with their affirmed gender as long they first underwent a year of androgen suppression.
NAIA shared, “That January, the NCAA changed its policy to treat each sport differently based on the policy of the applicable Olympic national governing body (NGB). For sports with no applicable NGB policy, the NCAA is planning to turn to the policy of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee or the international federation for that sport.”
“The NAIA’s task force was charged with determining whether the NAIA’s existing transgender policy needed to be altered and is so, bringing forward a new policy recommendation for the COP’s consideration. After two years of work, the task force proposed a new transgender policy which was approved by the COP on April 8, 2024. The new policy will be effective August 1, 2024.”
In a 20-0 vote, “the transgender participation policy” determines that all athletes may participate in NAIA-sponsored male sports, but only athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth is female and who have not begun hormone therapy may participate in women’s sports.
Those students who have begun hormone therapy are barred from participating in interscholastic competitions but can participate in workouts, practices, and team activities.
While competitive cheer and competitive dance are open to all students, the new policy notes every other sport “includes some combination of strength, speed, and stamina, providing competitive advantages for male student-athletes.”
NAIA President and CEO told AP, “We know there are a lot of opinions, and a lot of people have a very emotional reaction to this, and we want to be respectful of all that,” Carr said. “But we feel like our primary responsibility is fairness in competition, so we are following that path. And we’ve tried as best we could to allow for some participation by all.”
In March, a group of female athletes filed a lawsuit against the NCAA over their decision to allow “transgender” athletes to compete against them and use locker rooms for women.
The lawsuit was filed by the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) on behalf of over a dozen female athletes. It alleges that the NCAA violated Title IX, a federal statute that guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college sports.
It seeks to prohibit biological males from competing against female athletes. Further, it demands the NCAA revoke awards received by “transgender” athletes who competed against women in tournaments that were governed by the organization.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 16 former and current female collegiate athletes including Riley Gaines (Swimmer, Gallatin, TN), Reka Gyorgy (Swimmer, Blacksburg, VA), Kylee Alons(Swimmer, Raleigh, NC), Kaitlyn Wheeler (Swimmer, Springfield, IL), Ainsley Erzen (Track and Soccer, Des Moines, IA), Ellie Eades (Tennis, Floyds Knobs, IN), Lily Mullens (Swimmer, North Canton, OH), Susanna Price (Track & Field, Swimmer, Los Alamos, NM), Carter Satterfield(Swimmer, Cary, NC), Kate Pearson (Virginia Beach, VA), Katie Blankinship (Swimmer, Woodstock, GA), Julianna Morrow (Swimmer, Mooresville, NC), and four other athletes proceeding under pseudonyms to protect them from retaliation and reprisal.
Gas prices continue to climb in the US under Joe Biden.
If you feel squeezed, it may be because gas prices are double today what they were under President Trump four years ago.
Via Vince Langman and Catturd2.
It’s true.
Four years ago, during the Trump years, the average price for a gallon of gas in the US was $1.80.
Today, under Joe Biden, the average price for a gallon of gas in the US is $3.61.
In a broadcast blunder that has since gone viral, Mexican news outlet RCG Media aired what they believed to be live footage of the 2024 Solar Eclipse but instead showcased a viewer’s prank involving a video of a man’s testicles.
During the highly anticipated coverage of the celestial event, viewers from around Coahuila were left in shock as the screen displayed not the moon passing in front of the sun but rather a close-up video of a man’s balls. The graphic image was submitted by a viewer who claimed it to be eclipse footage.
The unsuspecting anchors, caught in a moment of disbelief, were listing the areas of visibility for the eclipse. “Durango, Gómez Palacio, Lerdo, Nasas also in the municipality of Durango, Torreón, Monclova, Muzquiz, where your family is, Piedras Negras and Acuña, in the state of Coahuila…” one anchor said.
As the names were announced, the inappropriate video appeared on the screen. Realizing the mishap, the production team acted immediately to remove the inappropriate content from the broadcast.
The situation was addressed on air. The host explained, “That last video we put up was from a video amateur… production is at full speed integrating everything… and we thank you for continuing to send us.”
An Idaho teenager has been arrested for pledging allegiance to ISIS and planning to attack local churches.
Alexander Scott Mercurio, 18, of Coeur d’Alene, was arrested on Saturday, April 6, for attempting to provide material support and resources to the terror organization.
According to the affidavit in support of the criminal complaint, Mercurio pledged his allegiance to ISIS and “planned to attack individuals at churches in Coeur d’Alene on April 7 using weapons, including knives, firearms, and fire.”
Mercurio’s plan, according to the complant, was to attack his father with a metal pipe, steal his guns, and carry out a suicide attack at local churches.
“As alleged in the complaint, the defendant swore an oath of loyalty to ISIS and planned to wage an attack in its name on churches in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland.
Garland continued, “Thanks to the investigative efforts of the FBI, the defendant was taken into custody before he could act, and he is now charged with attempting to support ISIS’s mission of terror and violence. The Justice Department will continue to relentlessly pursue, disrupt, and hold accountable those who would commit acts of terrorism against the people and interests of the United States.”
FBI Director Christopher Wray added, “The defendant allegedly pledged loyalty to ISIS and sought to attack people attending churches in Idaho, a truly horrific plan which was detected and thwarted by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.”
“This investigation demonstrates the FBI’s steadfast commitment to work with our law enforcement partners to stop those who wish to commit acts of violence on behalf of – or inspired by – foreign terrorist groups,” Wray continued.
The FBI said that the case should open people’s eyes to the dangers of self-radicalization.
“This case should be an eye-opener to the dangers of self-radicalization, which is a real threat to our communities,” said Special Agent in Charge Shohini Sinha of the Salt Lake City FBI. “Protecting the American people from terrorism remains the FBI’s number one priority, and we continue to encourage the public to report anything suspicious to the FBI or your local law enforcement.”
Mercurio remains in custody pending his initial court appearance. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison if convicted.
Over the last fiscal year, the US Military missed recruiting quotas, and by no small margin — reports indicate that quotas were missed by over 40,000. But how exactly did it come to this? We’ve got some SHOCKING videos to show you that may give an indication as to what’s going on here.
As Paul Ingrassiareported earlier — If the Biden Regime can be summarized by a single word, it would be: injustice. No presidential administration in the history of the United States ever observed such an egregious assault on civil liberties and the rule of law, especially constitutional due process and the presumption of innocence, than what is now occurring under Biden and his weaponized Department of Justice today. Donald Trump is, of course, Political Hostage Numero Uno of the weaponized justice system – and his white martyrdom at the hand of a deeply subverted justice system in this country has galvanized his base, and his countrymen, to levels that surpass anytime since he first entered politics in 2015…
Jeff Clark was serving as Acting United States Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division of the Department of Justice when he was summoned by President Trump to inquire into allegations of election fraud in the state of Georgia, among other places. Clark has faced criminal charges for making honest inquiries into election fraud affecting the 2020 results, particularly in the Peach State, where the evidence overwhelmingly proves was riven with fraud, for which he was indicted, and forced to take a mugshot, alongside both Attorney John Eastman and President Trump, last summer.
Former Trump senior official Jeffrey Clark is in court today in Washington DC where he faces the prospect of losing his license in the latest persecution against President Trump and his supporters.
Clark served as acting head of the Justice Department’s civil division under Trump and questioned the validity of the suspect 2020 presidential election that landed Joe Biden in the White House after late night ballot drops in several battleground states.
For daring to question the 2020 election, former Trump senior official Jeffrey Clark was brought before a DC Court last week where he faces the prospect of losing his law license in the latest persecution against President Trump and his supporters.
Clark served as acting head of the Justice Department’s civil division under Trump and questioned the validity of the suspect 2020 presidential election that landed Joe Biden in the White House after late night ballot drops in several battleground states.
Republicans are NOT allowed to question elections in America today. Those that do will be dealt with like Mr. Jeffrey Clark.
On Monday, Jeffrey Clark joined independent journalist Breanna Morello in his first major interview since the conclusion of his trial.
Breanna played testimony from the trial where Harry Haury testified that Bill Barr was screaming at Tony Shaffer to shut down the investigation into the postal tractor trailers filled with tens of thousands of completed ballots from New York to Pennsylvania in 2020.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on lawless Bill Barr’s call with Tony Shaffer.
During their discussion on Monday, Breanna Morello asked Attorney Clark if he was told to stand down from investigating any of the tips of election fraud.
Jeff Clark: Let me just summarize for your viewers that there is either in the public record or in testimony from my trial, three separate incidents where former Attorney General Barr shut down investigations. One is that Bill McSwain, who was the US Attorney in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, that’s Philadelphia, my hometown, where my mom, who was a poll worker, certainly watched various shenanigans through the years and would bring home those stories to me. This is not a topic that I had no prior exposure to. I also applied to clerk for a federal judge, Clarence Newcomer, who had a major election, non integrity case in Philadelphia, which he helped expose and shut down, called the La Nueva forma, the new way to vote, which involves something like absentee ballots before they were actually illegal, going door to door to collect them. That was a no-no under Pennsylvania law at the time. In any event, back to Bill McSwane. He was the US attorney in Philadelphia, and he said that he had very important and credible election fraud information that he wanted to pursue.
And so he went to Barr and he asked if he could investigate it. And Barr told him, no, don’t investigate it. And if you find anything or you’ve already found anything, turn it over to the attorney general of Pennsylvania who had already pre-announced Brianna that Trump was going to lose in Pennsylvania. So this was like a road to nowhere. Mcswane said, look, I’m a military guy. I saluted, even though I disagreed with it. Now, Later, after he left office, after Biden had been inaugurated as President, I think in June of 2021, if memory serves, he sent a letter to President Trump where he exposed this episode.
…The other two episodes are the Jesse Morgan episode where Colonel Tony Schaffer, who was in military intelligence, was ordered to stop his investigation of that incident and other incidents by Bill Barr. We did get that testimony in through expert and fact witness, Harry Haury. He wore both of those hats.
Then the third incident is one that Matt Gaetz gave to us because his former law partner, Larry Keefe, was the US Attorney in in one of the districts of Florida. There had been allegations that Andrew Gillham, who had run for governor, Democrat, was engaged in election shenanigans. Larry Keefe wanted to investigate that, and Bill Barr told him to shut that down.
We asked for permission from DOJ to have both Larry Keefe and Bill McSwane, two former US attorneys in the Trump administration, to come in and testify, and DOJ blocked that.

Like clockwork, as we head into another election season, the medical establishment and the mainstream media are sounding the alarm on another potential pandemic: the bird flu.
Not only are they drawing comparisons to COVID-19, they are in fact claiming that bird flu has the potential to be 100 TIMES MORE DEADLY!
Amidst growing concerns, experts have cautioned that a bird flu pandemic may be looming on the horizon, one that could be catastrophic on a scale ‘100 times worse than Covid-19.’
The alarm was raised following reports of the virus being found in multiple species, including cows, cats, and humans, which could potentially accelerate the virus’s mutation to become more transmissible among humans.
In March 2024, testing for influenza was conducted on several animals in Texas and Kansas due to signs of illness. These animals included wild birds, cats, and dairy cows. Some of these tests returned positive for avian influenza A(H5N1), marking the first time the virus has been detected in cattle within the United States.
Concern about the spread of the bird flu to people increased when the CDC admitted that the virus had mutated – allowing the virus to spread more easily.
While there is increasing concern among the medical establishment, there are many who are questioning just how real the threat of the spread of bird flu actually is – and some are openly wondering whether or not this potential pandemic is little more than a conveniently timed psy op intended to garner support for the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty and other controversial pandemic response measures.
According to Dr. Kelly Victory, Chief of Emergency & Disaster Medicine for the TWC Chief Medical Board,
Bird flu is a red flag they run up the flag-pole every 12-18 months. At present, this appears to be like previous recent “outbreaks” that effect primarily poultry workers, with little evidence that there is appreciable human to human transmission. That being said, this is a good reminder that we always need to be prepared and to foster self-reliance for times of emergency. We have every reason to believe, for example, that ivermectin, hydroxychlorquine, azithromycin, budesonide, etc. will cover a large range of viral and bacterial illnesses, as they are certainly not “covid specific”. Keeping these medications on hand allows people to be free from the grip of BigPharma who would have them believe that every new pathogen or seasonal outbreak requires a new/novel treatment, as well as from the chaos and uncertainty that commonly accompany public health scares.
Be PREPARED, not SCARED! Get the prescription drugs you need to keep your family safe from bird flu, COVID, or whatever the globalists throw at us next!
We know what the globalists did in 2020, and we know they will do whatever they can to maintain power, which makes 2024 a potentially very dangerous year for Americans.
The Wellness Company and its great doctors – like Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Drew, Dr. Harvey Risch, and Dr. Jim Thorp – are regularly in the media fighting against the broken medical establishment.
Dr. Thorp, one of the nation’s leading critics of corrupt Big Pharma, believes that now – more than ever – people should be prepared for the next pandemic:
“I’ve strongly recommended “stockpiling” critical medications including antibiotics since the turn of the century. This has been an incredible investment as many friends, family, and patients have benefited. Now, in the winter of 2024, this recommendation is even more crucial.”
This kit is prescription-only – you can’t find it in any store or pharmacy. Simply fill out a short questionnaire after purchase and a trusted Wellness Company doctor will confirm your suitability and issue your prescription Contagion Kit.
This is the perfect emergency kit at the perfect price. Every home should have this for peace of mind. – Rebecca B.
This is absolutely great! I encourage everyone to buy one of these for emergencies!! – Melody H.
Peace of mind. It is an amazing peace of mind to have this kit in case of emergencies and shortages. The Wellness Company did an excellent job of getting this to me in a timely manner and I and thankful to have it. – Phyllis T.
Don’t be caught unprepared for whatever 2024 sends your way!
While he has always been a fierce critic of Donald Trump, British Foreign Minister (and former Prime Minister) David Cameron, in his trip to the US, plans to meet the Republican nominee that’s leading in all the polls.
Cameron will meet Secretary of State Antony Blinken today, as well as with lawmakers in Congress to press for an aid package for Ukraine while also discussing the Israel-Gaza war.
But before he does so, Cameron will meet former President Donald Trump in Florida, a spokesperson for the British government’s Foreign Office said.
It is described as a ‘standard practice’ engagement with an opposition candidate.
“Cameron last week said he would see Republican House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson and urge him to pass a $60 billion package of military aid for Ukraine, which he has held up for months.
‘Success for Ukraine and failure for Putin are vital for American and European security,” Cameron said in a statement, saying it was important to demonstrate to Russian President Vladimir Putin that “aggression doesn’t pay’.
‘The alternative would only encourage Putin in further attempts to re-draw European borders by force, and would be heard clearly in Beijing, Tehran and North Korea’.”
Cameron is expected to meet congressional leaders from both the Republican and Democrat parties.
At this point, what Cameron and Trump would discuss is unclear.
“‘It is standard practice for ministers to meet with opposition candidates as part of their routine international engagement’, the spokesperson said.
Britain has been a staunch ally of Ukraine since Russia invaded in 2022, but Cameron will stress it is the United States that is the ‘key stone in the arch’ as its pace and scale of support for Ukraine is unmatched.”
Cameron wants to increase economic pressure on Russia and give Ukraine the military and humanitarian support it needs.
“Mr. Trump, and his supporters within the party, oppose the US package providing aid to Ukraine. Those in the House of Representatives have vowed to vote against the package without additional funding for US border security being agreed to first.
Lord Cameron has been urging Republicans for some time to approve the aid package, particularly angering Republican congresswoman and Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor-Greene, who told the foreign secretary to “kiss my ass”.
She was responding to an article written by Lord Cameron, in which he warned the US against showing ‘the weakness displayed against Hitler in the 1930s’.”
Back in 2015, during his tenure as prime minister, Lord Cameron labeled Mr. Trump’s proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the US ‘divisive, stupid and wrong.’
“In his memoirs published in 2019, Lord Cameron further said that he found it ‘depressing’ that Mr. Trump could win an election, and that it was due to his ‘protectionist, xenophobic, misogynistic interventions’.”
It is becoming clear to me that neither Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or Donald J. Trump are going to speak ill of each other. In fact, they seem to be praising each other at times. This is because RFK Jr’s run for the White House hurts Joe Biden. My belief is there may be a deal in place between President Trump and RFK, Jr. Why else would Kennedy pick a radical to be his running mate? Nicole Shanahan is a leftist who will only help pick off votes from Joe Biden.
I am making the prediction now that President Trump will have a spot for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. inside the Trump Administration. RFK Jr. knows he has no shot of winning the Presidency, so if he wants a voice in the future, the best way is to help President Trump.
Over three dozen lots of hand sanitizer and aloe gel are reportedly being recalled because they contain a highly poisonous substance that can cause severe health issues, including blindness and coma.
The FDA said Friday that Aruba Aloe Balm N.V., which is based in Oranjestad, Aruba, is “voluntarily” recalling 40 lots of Aruba Aloe Hand Sanitizer Gel Alcohol 80% and Aruba Aloe Alcoholada Gel. These products contain alcohol modified with methanol.
As the FDA notes, exposure to methanol can lead to nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, coma, seizures, permanent blindness, permanent damage to the central nervous system, or death. The people most at risk for methanol poisoning are children who accidentally ingest these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute.
Aruba Aloe Balm N.V. claims it has not received any reports of adverse events connected to the use of its products.
Aruba Aloe Hand Sanitizer Gel is used as a sanitizer to help reduce bacteria that can potentially cause disease. It is packaged in 12 fl oz green plastic bottles with white labels reading in part “ARUBA ALOE Hand Sanitizer GEL 80% Alcohol Made in Aruba World’s Finest Aloe.”
Aruba Aloe Alcoholada Gel is designed to provide temporary relief of pain and itching associated with minor burns, sunburn, insect bites, or minor skin irritations. It comes in 2.2 and 8.5 fl. oz clear bottles.
The affected Aruba Aloe Hand Sanitizer GEL product lots are the following:

According to the FDA, the products were distributed between 5/1/2021 and 10/27/2023 and sold in the US online via the Aruba Aloe Balm N.V. website. The Aruba-based company is notifying the customers who bought the products via email and offering a discount coupon for a future purchase.
The FDA is urging customers to discontinue using the products and to throw them away. The agency also says customers affected by the product should contact their doctor or healthcare provider.
WARNING: This article contains descriptions of violent physical abuse that may be disturbing to some readers.
Screenshot: Fed-up man pulled Elisa Jordana’s hair after she hit him in the face multiple times. (Elisa Jordana/Youtube)
Elisa Jordana, a former writer for the Howard Stern show, has been reportedly arrested following a violent live-streamed altercation with her boyfriend, known only as “ZScorro.”
The distressing footage, which went viral late Monday, shows Jordana engaged in a heated exchange that escalates to physical violence.
The live stream initially intended to be a personal vlog, took an alarming turn as viewers witnessed the former Stern staffer hitting the man several times in the face while driving. The man eventually forced Jordana out of the vehicle just moments before the live stream was abruptly cut off.
The 2-hour livestream started with Jordana revealing that she had discovered ZScorro was cheating on her with a woman named Sara. Jordana claimed that she learned of the infidelity during a couples therapy session after gaining access to ZScorro’s phone.
The situation had escalated to the point that the man had contacted the police. Upon their arrival, Jordana reportedly returned ZScorro’s phone and keys.
Despite witnessing Jordana attempt to hit ZScorro, officers on the scene permitted the couple to leave together in their vehicle.
Jordana continued to live stream while driving with ZScorro, taking calls from viewers. During this time, she made a shocking admission to a caller, indicating that she plans to kill her boyfriend.
The live stream further captured Jordana hitting ZScorro multiple times. Jordana also threatened to leak nude photos and personal information of Sara to her Discord channel.
Sara herself called into the livestream, which led to Jordana assaulting ZScorro multiple times.
Jordana is a relatively small IRL streamer on YouTube and was formerly known as Elisa Schwartz. She appeared on The Howard Stern Show and Kermit and Friends. As for her recent foray into the world of livestreaming, according to the bio on her official account on X, she is the self-styled “Queen Of IRL Livestreaming.”
Her YouTube account has just over 13K subscribers, and the livestream where the incident went down occurred today April 8, 2024. It appears the two were having some sort of disagreement while Elisa Jordana was driving her car after the two-hour streaming mark and then started threatening the man in the passenger seat.
The streamer then slapped him on the nose and followed it by pulling his ears. This seemingly tipped the man over the edge and he began pulling Jordana’s hair and told her to pull over the car.
What followed was a violent altercation where he kept shouting curses at the YouTuber while putting her in a headlock till she exited the vehicle and seemingly walked away.
At this point, the man ran out and promptly came over from the driver’s side and stopped the camera, ending the stream. It is unclear whether both people are safe, as neither Elisa Jordana nor the man has given any public updates.

We know Joe Biden has a reputation for not being able to keep his footing — on matters of foreign policy, on understanding the American people — and more tangibly, on the staircase leading up to Air Force One. While this may seem to be a funny thing to point out, is it a bigger sign of his health and mental state at large?
A CIA Officer/former FBI official is on an undercover video boasting about using the might of the federal government to ‘jail anyone’ by ‘setting them up.’
Gavin O’Blennis, a Contracting Officer for the CIA told an undercover journalist with Sound Investigations that the FBI “can put anyone in jail…set ’em up!”
“We call it a nudge,” O’Blennis said, adding the FBI can put “problematic” right-wing journalists like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones in jail.
O’Blennis said of Infowars founder Alex Jones: The FBI “took his money away,” and ‘chopped his legs off.’
Gavin O’Blennis said at least 20 undercover FBI agents were at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“I thought you said that there were FBI agents in the crowd at January 6?” the undercover journalist asked O’Blennis.
He replied, “There are. There always are when there’s a big protest in DC. Just in case it gets out of hand like that…I mean, I’m talking they maybe had 20. You needed 1,000 to get rid of that crowd.”
He also said the FBI uses “embellished” news and “fake social media” to “really get people mad.”

The Constitutional Coalition and former Attorney General John Ashcroft filed an amicus curiae (Friend of the Court) in the United States Supreme Court in the case United States v. Trump. The appeal to the Supreme Court concerns the question of presidential immunity. More specifically, whether a subsequent president may criminally prosecute his (or her) predecessor, and current political rival, for official acts the previous president took while in office. This amicus brief was not filed on behalf of either party – Special Counsel Jack Smith (hired by Attorney General Merrick Garland to prosecute former President Trump) nor on behalf of former President Trump. Rather, this amicus brief was filed to defend the constitutional principle that a President of the United States, as the Nation’s chief executive, must have immunity from criminal prosecution for those official acts the President takes during the President’s term in office. Otherwise, the President’s fear of a subsequent political rival bringing a criminal prosecution after the President leaves office will impair the President’s ability to make those decisions necessary to protect our national interest and discharge the duties of the office of Chief Executive.
This does not mean the President is “above the law” or is unaccountable. Quite to the contrary. The Founders adopted a very specific method for holding the President accountable. That method is in Article One of the Impeachment Clause of the Constitution, which provides that, after impeached by the House and conviction by the Senate, the President may be subject to criminal prosecution. The Constitutional principle at issue in United States v. Trump transcends Donald J. Trump individual and the immediate passions surrounding the 2024 Presidential Election. How the Supreme Court decides this case could shift the balance in the Separation of Powers between the three branches of our government. And, how the Supreme Court decides this constitutional issue will determine how future presidents fulfill their duty to act as the Nation’s Chief Executive.
The amicus brief former Attorney General Ashcroft and the Constitutional Coalition filed provides a historical context to this appeal that will assist the Supreme Court in answering this question. It is not hyperbole to suggest that United States v. Trump is of a constitutional magnitude equivalent to Chief Justice John Marshall’s decision for the Court in Marbury v. Madison.
An illegal alien from El Salvador was arrested last Friday in California for murdering a man and dismembering his body in January.
Police did not identify the suspect because he was 17 at the time of the murder. He turned 18 in February, but law enforcement is still protecting his identity.
“On Friday, April 5th, homicide detectives with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office arrested an 18 year old from Mendota,” the Fresno County Sheriff said.
“He has been booked into the Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus and faces one count of murder. His name is not being released due to him currently being in the juvenile court system. The court has the discretion to transfer this matter to an adult court. That decision will be made at a later time,” the sheriff said.
“On January 17th, 2024, deputies responded to check on a car parked in the middle of an orchard located near Belmont and Washoe Avenues, just west of Mendota. Inside the vehicle was a deceased man whose body had been dismembered. He was later identified as 25 year old Fraylee Hernandez of Mendota,” the Fresno sheriff added.
The suspect is an illegal alien from El Salvador who is on probation for assaulting his mother. It is unclear when or where he illegally entered the US.
The victim, Fraylee Hernandez, and the suspect were acquaintances according to law enforcement.
“During the investigation, detectives identified a primary suspect in this murder. They learned the actual killing took place on January 6th, 2024. At the time, the suspect was 17 years old. He turned 18 in February. The suspect is an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador who is also currently on probation for assaulting his mother. He and the murder victim were acquaintances,” the sheriff said.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee ( D-TX) once sat on the House Science Committee and the House Space Committee. But understanding astronomy seems to elude her.

Jackson Lee explained to the crowd, “You have the energy of the moon at night.”
What?
“And sometimes you’ve heard the word ‘full moon,’…Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon,” which she then explained is a “complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases.”
Is this what they teach at her Alma Mater, Yale University?
She continued, “That’s why the question is why — or how — could we as humans live on the moon. The gas is such that we can do that.”
As NASA explains, the moon’s “weak atmosphere and its lack of liquid water cannot support life as we know it.”
Undeterred by facts, Jackson Lee added that the “sun is a mighty powerful heat and it’s almost impossible to go near the sun” while the “moon is more manageable.”

This is not the first time she has struggled with concepts surrounding astronomy.
Texas Monthly reported, “Jackson Lee, whose district neighbors the Johnson Space Center, is a member of the House Committee on Science, and so it was that she spent part of her summer recess visiting the Mars Pathfinder Operations Center in Pasadena, California. While there, according to an article by Sandy Hume in The Hill, a weekly newspaper that covers Congress, Jackson Lee asked if the Pathfinder succeeded in taking pictures of the American flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969. Of course, Armstrong planted the flag on the Moon, as any high schooler should be able to tell you, let alone a 47-year-old Yale graduate.”

A New York appellate court judge on Tuesday rejected Trump’s 11th-hour bid to delay the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial which is set to begin April 15.
Tuesday’s ruling comes one day after another New York appeals court judge rejected Trump’s request to delay the trial on a separate argument.
A ruling on Trump’s request to stay Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order is still pending.
A state appeals court judge on Tuesday denied Donald Trump’s bid to halt his criminal trial while he appeals his gag order in the case, a ruling that came less than 24 hours after another judge rejected the former president’s request to delay his impending criminal trial on other grounds.
Tuesday’s ruling came roughly one hour after Trump attorney Emil Bove argued his client is entitled to a stay of the proceedings while he challenges the “unconstitutional” partial gag order Judge Juan Merchan handed down against Trump last month and expanded days later.
Bove contended the gag order — which prohibits Trump from bashing witnesses, individual prosecutors, court staff and their relatives, the judge’s relatives and jurors and potential jurors — means his client can’t comment on publicly filed motions and that it violates the former president’s Sixth and First Amendment rights.
His court filing contended the order is causing “ongoing, irreparable harm to Petitioner and the voting public.”
President Trump on Monday sued Juan Merchan, the far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ trial.
The lawsuit is currently under seal, but the court docket reveals Trump requested a change of venue and asked for a stay on the expanded gag order.
The appellate judge did not address Trump’s request for a change of venue or his request to stay the gag order.
Fani Willis has once again been thrown into the spotlight — this time by Harrison Floyd, one of the defendants in the lawfare of the RICO case Willis has opened up against Trump. We already have concrete evidence Fani LIED in her testimony, is it time she RECUSES herself in the case?
The Arizona Supreme Court has reinstated a pre-statehood abortion law from 1864, effectively outlawing the procedure except in instances where it is necessary to save the life of the mother.
It can be recalled that Katie Hobbs signed a new Executive Order Friday that will delegate abortion-related prosecution to Attorney General Kris Mayes, who previously vowed not to enforce any current Arizona abortion laws if she is elected.
It will also restrict state agencies from assisting in other state investigations, ban extraditions of doctors wanted in other states, and establish a council to expand access to abortion.
The Gateway Pundit reported in September 2022 that a judge ruled that Arizona could enforce its ban on abortion following the Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v. Wade. This law made abortion legal if the mother’s life was at risk.
Doctors who perform abortions on a healthy woman would be “punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not less than two years nor more than five years” under the pre-Roe law. However, The Arizona Court of Appeals later overturned this ruling and ruled that Arizona could impose a more recent law banning abortion after 15 weeks.
Katie Hobbs and Kris Mayes are pro-abortion, pro-infanticide radicals.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hobbs vetoed Senator Janae Shamp’s SB1600, which would require doctors to care for an infant that is born alive and entitle them to be treated as a legal person under Arizona law.
As a legislator, Hobbs voted against similar legislation requiring doctors to maintain a baby’s life if they survive an abortion. Further, she voted against abortion limitations every chance she was given as a State Legislator.

The appeal’s court decision from December 2022, which had previously protected doctors from being prosecuted under the pre-statehood abortion ban, was overturned by the state’s highest court. The historic 1864 statute will become active once again 14 days following the ruling.
In a 4-2 split decision, Justice John R. Lopez IV clarified that the Arizona law permitting abortions up to the 15th week of pregnancy was contingent on the federal constitutional right to abortion.
This right was abolished by the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization two years prior. Without this federal right, the 1864 law revives and stands as the governing statute.
Justice Lopez indicated that the 15-week law does not independently authorize abortions, and because there is no current federal or state law counteracting the 1864 statute, it is now enforceable. This decision effectively makes the performance of an abortion illegal in every case except to save a woman’s life.
The decision was 4-2, with Justices John R. Lopez IV, Clint Bolick, James P. Beene and Kathryn H. King in the majority. Lopez wrote the majority opinion, while Vice Chief Justice Ann A. Scott Timmer penned a dissent. Chief Justice Robert M. Brutinel joined Timmer.
“Physicians are now on notice that all abortions, except those necessary to save a woman’s life, are illegal … and that additional criminal and regulatory sanctions may apply to abortions performed after fifteen weeks’ gestation,” the ruling reads.
The majority ruled that a law passed in 2022, which prohibited abortions after 15 weeks, did not repeal the pre-statehood law nor create a right to abortion. The justices said the 2022 law was enacted by the Legislature because the prior law was at the time enjoined in court.
“Life is a human right, and today’s decision allows the state to respect that right and fully protect life again—just as the legislature intended,” said Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Jake Warner, who argued the case before the court in favor of the pre-statehood ban.
One immediate effect of the ruling could be more support for a potential ballot measure in the works for this year. Advocates say they’ve already got more than 500,000 signatures, well above the threshold of 383,923 signatures needed by an early July deadline.
Joe Biden on Tuesday delivered remarks on his dumpster fire economy during a campaign event at Union Station in Washington, DC.
As usual, Biden’s speech was full of lies and gaffes.
“Why did I commute every single day? Over a million miles round trip over the time I was in the United States Senate!” Biden said confusing this tall tale with another one he tells about the time he traveled as Vice President.
Biden falsely claimed his “administration has already cut the deficit by $1 trillion!”
At one point a heckler interrupted Biden’s speech.
“Well I’ll tell you what…you wanna come make a speech or shush up, okay?” Biden said to the heckler. “I’m not messing around with him! He looks like he could take me!”
It was all over the headlines only months ago when the Joe Biden administration sued Grand Canyon University, the largest Christian school in the nation, as part of what school officials described as a coordinated attack by Biden.
It was the Federal Trade Commission that filed a lawsuit against the school, making allegations that it didn’t reveal how long it would take for doctoral students to finish its accelerated program and marketed itself as a nonprofit.
The Department of Education, earlier claiming misinformation about the doctoral program, announced a fine of $37.7 million against the school.
So the federal agencies decided to continue their agenda against the Christian organization anyway.
The report revealed a review from the state auditor, through the Arizona State Approving Agency, found that risks identified by Biden’s allegations “could not be substantiated, which means the private nonprofit’s students can still use GI bill funding to pay tuition.”
The report said University President Brian Mueller told KSTAR, “They said, ‘Zero findings. Not a single one. Not one.'”
School spokesman Bob Romantic said in an interview with The College Fix that the audit covered all three allegations charged by the Biden regulators.
But he said the school still is being “targeted” by “systemic attacks … against GCU that we believe are retaliation for filing our lawsuit against the DOE.”
The school sued after the Department of Education brought out a list of its complaints and announced that $37.7 million fine.
Then the FTC sued, claiming telemarketing and marketing violations, concerns that now have been addressed by the state investigation.
Mueller suggested Biden is “maliciously targeting” the school, the report explained.
While the FTC claims the school misrepresented its cost, the report said “a degree calculator function on their website currently states the average number of continuation courses required for past students for each doctoral degree program in clear, red font above the program’s price listings.”
Russia’s highest investigative body announced on Tuesday that it has launched an official criminal probe into senior officials in the United States and other NATO countries who are suspected of financing terrorism acts.
According to The Moscow Times, Russia’s Investigative Committee, which is the primary federal investigating authority of Russia, has accused U.S. Senior officials, NATO members, and the Hunter Biden-linked Bursima Holdings of financing terror attacks that have occurred both inside and outside of Russia.
The statement was made in a video released by the Committee but did not refer to a specific terror attack.
The Investigative Committee’s probe comes just a month after 144 people were killed in a terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, Russia last month.
In a video, the Investigative Committee shared that money from commercial organizations has been used in Russia to “eliminate prominent political and public figures.”
The Investigative Committee then singled out Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings for being one of the organizations that have allegedly financed terrorism.

Big news via @IntelRepublic! MOSCOW OPENS CRIMINAL CASE ON TERRORISM-FINANCING BY U.S. & NATO OFFICIALS following Crocus bloodbath – Investigation finds funds funneled through Hunter Biden-linked Ukrainian Burisma Holdings gas company, used for terrorist attacks in Russia pic.twitter.com/1an7ivfn3h
Russia’s top investigative body announced Tuesday that it has launched a criminal probe into senior officials in the United States and NATO member countries who are suspected of “financing terrorism.”
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said it has “established” that money from commercial organizations had been used to “eliminate prominent political and public figures” inside and outside Russia in recent years, as well as to “inflict economic damage” against the country.
While the Investigative Committee did not specify which terrorist attacks it suspects were funded by Western organizations, the announcement comes as top Russian officials double down on claims that Ukraine and the West were involved in the deadly Crocus City Hall attack last month.
The top law enforcement body named the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings as one of the implicated organizations. U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden served as a member of Burisma’s board of directors between 2014 and 2019.
This isn’t the first time Burisma Holdings has been accused of financing terrorism.
Richard Abelson of the Gateway Pundit previously reported that Ukrainian court documents from April of 2022 reveal Burisma was linked to a $5,950,000 payment sent to the Ukrainian foreign intel service GUR.
GUR chief General Kirill Budanov has previously claimed responsibility for assassinating high-profile Russians.
Norfolk Southern Railway has agreed to pay residents in and around East Palestine, Ohio, more than $600 million after one of the company’s trains derailed resulting in an environmental catastrophe.
The Feb. 3, 2023, derailment caused fires that burned for days and emitted chemicals, such as hydrogen chloride and phosgene, into the air and ground.
Residents were ordered to leave the area by Republican Governor Mike DeWine, and a year later the long-term effects of the pollution remain unknown.
Images of the disaster captivated the country:
According to a company news release published on Tuesday morning, Norfolk Southern will pay those affected by the disaster as part of a settlement that is a repose to a class-action lawsuit.
“Norfolk Southern Corporation announced Tuesday that it has reached a $600 million agreement in principle to resolve a consolidated class action lawsuit relating to the East Palestine derailment,” the company said.
Norfolk Southern added, “If approved by the court, the agreement will resolve all class action claims within a 20-mile radius from the derailment and, for those residents who choose to participate, personal injury claims within a 10-mile radius from the derailment.”
The company claimed in its news release that offering to settle was an effort to “to make it right for the people of East Palestine and the surrounding communities.”
Norfolk Southern admitted the calamity had affected drinking water, home values and the health and well-being of those in and around East Palestine.
The company said in addition to the cash settlement, it would continue to help people in the area have access to clean water and would help them prop up the local economy.
“Individuals and businesses will be able to use compensation from the settlement in any manner they see fit to address potential adverse impacts from the derailment,” the company said.
Norfolk Southern added, “This could include healthcare needs and medical monitoring, property restoration and diminution, and compensation for any net business loss.
“In addition, individuals within 10-miles of the derailment may, at their discretion, choose to receive additional compensation for any past, current, or future personal injury from the derailment.”
The company added that it had already invested a sum well in excess of $100 million into the region.
Norfolk Southern also denied it was culpable for the derailment as part of the settlement noting, “This agreement does not include or constitute any admission of liability, wrongdoing, or fault.”
The company said it hopes a federal court will accept the settlement by the end of the month.
People who had been part of the lawsuit could be compensated by the end of the year, pending approval by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.
The derailment devastated wildlife and was blamed on improper braking safety and maintenance practices, Bloomberg reported.

Far-left New York Judge Juan Merchan late Monday night released his questionnaire for potential jurors in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial set to begin April 15.
Trump’s attorneys argued that potential jurors and their political affiliations are important.
Judge Merchan pushed back and said questions about prospective jurors’ political affiliations and whether they like Trump are “irrelevant.”
“Such questions are irrelevant because they do not go to the issue of the prospective juror’s qualifications,” Merchan wrote. “The ultimate issue is whether the prospective juror can ensure us that they will set aside any personal feelings or biases and render a decision that is based on the evidence and the law.”
Because rabid, Trump-hating leftists can ‘set aside’ their personal feelings about Trump and render a fair decision.
Here are the 42 questions Judge Juan Merchan will ask potential jurors:
Page 1:
On Page 2, Judge Merchan asked the potential jurors which cable networks they watch and which blogs they read. Merchan also asked the potential jurors if they listen to any podcasts.
Page 3:
On Page 4 Judge Merchan asked the potential jurors if they have ever attended a Trump rally.
On Page 5, Judge Merchan asked the potential jurors if they follow President Trump on social media. They were also asked if they have ever supported Q Anon, Proud Boys, Antifa, Boogaloo Boys, Three Percenters or Oath Keepers.
Page 6:
Potential jurors were asked if there is any reason that would prevent them from being fair and impartial.
A New York appellate court judge on Tuesday rejected Trump’s 11th-hour bid to delay the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial which is set to begin April 15.
Tuesday’s ruling comes one day after another New York appeals court judge rejected Trump’s request to delay the trial on a separate argument.
A judge however granted Trump’s request for a review of the gag order imposed by Judge Merchan.
Baltazar Perez-Estrada Credit: DuPage County State Attorney
An illegal alien from Mexico who walked across the open U.S.-Mexico border last month committed one of the most heinous crimes imaginable.
As Fox News reported Thursday, 33-year-old Baltazar Perez-Estrada walked into the Carol Stream Police Department in Illinois on April 1 at 11:30 A.M. and informed them that he had stabbed his 26-year-old wife, Maricela Simon Franco, to death.
The incident occurred on March 31 at 10 p.m. when Perez-Estrada and Franco argued. Perez-Estrada was infuriated when he found out his wife had a boyfriend about two weeks after he crossed into the U.S., according to Law and Crime.
Perez-Estrada proceeded to stab Franco dozens of times in her head, neck, body, and hands in front of their two young children. Prosecutors revealed the attack was so brutal that Franco was nearly decapitated.
Franco was pronounced dead at the scene.
Prosecutors also discovered that the violent alien crossed into the United States from Mexico before the murder. But instead of being sent back, Perez-Estrada was just given a notice to appear before a court and allowed him to continue his journey.
DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin released a statement mourning Simon Franco’s death and expressing condolences to her loved ones.
“First and foremost, I offer my sincerest condolences to Maricela’s surviving family and friends on their loss and wish them strength as they continue their lives without the love and support provided by Maricela,” Berlin said.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) posted a statement on X slamming Joe Biden and disgraced Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for contributing to this evil crime via their open border policies:
Biden is letting monsters in our country. Animal is too nice of a word to describe this man. He’s a monster.
Mayorkas is running the open border that is letting these things in America. When we deliver the articles, Schumer better hold a trial.
Biden is letting monsters in our country. Animal is too nice of a word to describe this man. He’s a monster.

While most Americans were dialed in on the solar eclipse, the FBI quietly released unclassified documents regarding Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran whom a Capitol Police officer killed on January 6th.
On April 8th, the FBI released a highly redacted 69-page file on details of Ashli Babbitt’s death, military background, and testimonies on Babbitt’s character.
On page three of the file, it was written, “BABBITT is deceased, and therefore, this case is not being nominated to TSDB.”
TSDB stands for “the terrorist screening data base.”
The TSDB “contains biographic and biometric identifying information (e.g., name, date of birth, photographs, iris scans, and/or fingerprints) of known and suspected terrorists.”
The fact the FBI even mentioned the TSDB goes to show the FBI viewed Americans inside of the Capitol as “terrorists” rather than American citizens who were simply frustrated with the way the 2020 election was conducted.
The file oddly made no mention of Capitol Police Officer Lt. Michael Byrd but instead generally stated Babbitt was “shot by police.”
Later in the file, the FBI provides a brief overview of Babbitt’s personal information, such as her fingerprints, DMV records, and details regarding her military service.
Several pages were redacted that contained “anonymous tips” made by unnamed individuals through the FBI’s tip line.
LOOK:
One page of the file was an interview of an individual whose name was redacted.
The individual described Babbitt as a very outgoing and loving person who loved her family and country.
In the same interview, the person stated Ashli would “never go after someone physically.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported Judicial Watch filed a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government for the death of Babbitt.
RINO Representative Mike Gallagher (WI) announced ten days ago that he will exit the House as early as next month.
Gallagher, who is currently chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, announced last month that he will not seek reelection.
Instead of serving out the rest of his term, Gallagher will retire early leaving the GOP with a one-vote majority!
But it’s worse than that.
Gallagher announced he will leave in mid-April. If Gallagher would have left before April 9th he would have triggered a special election in his district. Because he is leaving after April 9th but still in April, there will be no special election so the seat will remain empty until January when the new Congress convenes.
This ensures that Republicans will lose another seat of their majority in Congress.
Emerald Robinson believes this is an organized tactic to put Republicans into the minority before the November elections. That way Democrats can nullify a Trump victory by using the 14th Amendment to keep him from office.
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.
They do everything they can to screw with their voters.
On Easter Sunday President Trump slammed Mike Gallagher after he refused to step down in time to hold a runoff election for his replacement.
Trump posted on Truth social: “Never forget our cowards and weaklings. Such a disgrace.”
Why are Republicans allowing this turncoat to stay in office when he is hurting the party so significantly?
Today was the day that Rep. Gallagher could have left office to help his country. Instead, he sides with the Marxists and radicals destroying the country.
Iconic Hollywood actor Billy Dee Williams joined Bill Maher on the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast to discuss a wide range of topics.
During the conversation, the topic of actors engaging in ‘black face’ came up.
Williams shared that he refuses to give it any weight because he does not wish to “go through life feeling like, ‘I’m a victim’.”
Williams discussed his personal relationship with legendary actor Laurence Olivier and their conversation about Olivier and the 1965 film adaptation of Shakespeare’s play Othello.
He recalled, “I remember saying, ‘Have you ever thought about playing Othello?’ And he said, ‘No. Yeah, I thought about playing Othello, but I always see – do you remember (Old Man River singer) Paul Robeson?”
“When he finally did it, he did in black face. He wanted to do it but he always had this vision (of Othello) with Robeson’s (a black man) stature and voice. So finally, when he did it, he filmed – I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the performance, if you ever get a chance, it’s really interesting.”
“He did something that – he was known to be a bit outrageous,” he continued. “Olivier was more physical. He got criticized a lot for being physical and doing things with his voice that was a bit outrageous. But when he did Othello, I fell out laughing. He stuck his ass out and walked around with his ass – because black people are supposed to have big asses. I fell out laughing. I thought it was hysterical. I loved it. I loved it. I love that kind of stuff. Yes. Who doesn’t?!”
A surprised Maher challenged, “I agree, okay, but here’s the thing: Today, I mean, they would never let you do that.
“Why? Why not?” Williams responded. “I mean, [actor Paul Muni] and I used to talk about this all the time. Muni was the one, the first person that I worked with in those years, who said to me, ‘As an actor, you should be able to do – whatever you think you can do you should be able to do it.’”
Maher replied, “But again, not to bring up your sore point, but you actually lived in a period where you couldn’t play the part you should have played.”
“But it didn’t matter,” said Williams.
“And that’s a great attitude, but it still did happen,” Maher pushed back.
“Of course it happened!” Williams replied, “But the fact is that you discuss it, anybody can talk about it, means it was happening. But the point is, that you don’t go through life feeling like ‘I’m a victim’.”
He concluded, “I mean, I refuse to go through life saying to the world, ‘I’m pissed off.’ I’m not going to be pissed off 24 hours a day.”

The sage of the imprisonment of Ecuador’s former Vice President Jorge Glas had another dramatic chapter, after he was detained in an unprecedented raid on the Mexican embassy, where he sought asylum after charged with yet another set of corruption charges.
Glas was taken to hospital after he fell ill at a prison in Guayaquil. This took place just hours after his lawyers complained they had been unable to contact him.
“Glas, already twice convicted of corruption and now facing fresh charges, was arrested on Friday after a raid by police on Mexico’s Quito embassy, where he had been living since December.
In a statement published on X, the SNAI prison agency said Glas had been taken to the naval hospital in Guayaquil around noon local time. Glas fell ill “after refusing to eat food provided (in the jail) during the last 24 hours,” the statement said.”
The embassy raid for his arrest took the two countries bilateral relations, that were already bad, to a boiling point.
Mexico suspended diplomatic relations with Ecuador, and criticism arose from many countries, usually the ones sympathetic to the Latin American far-left.
“Ecuador has defended its violation of sovereign Mexican territory at the embassy, arguing the North American country cannot grant Glas asylum if he is facing charges, and that Ecuador had information about an imminent escape plan.
Glas was hospitalized after one of his lawyers, Sonia Vera, published an open letter dated on Sunday to express her ‘deep worry and alarm’ that Glas had be able to speak to his legal team, adding it amounted to ‘a severe infraction to the fundamental rights of Jorge Glas’.”
Glas, who is termed by conservatives to be a ‘narco-socialist’, was vice president from 2013 to 2017.
He was sentenced to six years for taking bribes from Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, and convicted again for eight years, for using money from contractors to fund campaigns for President Rafael Correa’s political movement.
“[Glas] now faces charges of misusing funds collected to aid reconstruction of coastal Manabi province after a devastating 2016 earthquake.”
Watch: Mexico has now released images of the raid that resulted in Glas’ detention:

A 68-year-old woman is in critical condition after becoming a victim in a brutal punching attack and robbery in Queens on Sunday.
Police say the attack happened just 8:30 a.m. at the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in front of 84-35 152 Street in Jamaica.
The victim was followed from behind and when she reached the top of the stairs, the suspect jumped in front of her and knocked her down so hard she went airborne.
The suspect was captured on surveillance camera.
EMS took the victim to Booth Memorial Hospital following the attack.
“I visited her yesterday at the hospital. She was alert. She was conscious. I gave her, you know, a blessing, gave her holy communion and gave her a little prayer and an icon,” Head Priest Konstantinos Kalogridis said to WABC.
Joe Biden may have trouble getting on Alabama’s 2024 presidential ballot because DNC’s national convention occurs after the deadline to certify a presidential candidate.
“It has recently come to my attention that the Democratic National Convention is currently scheduled to convene on August 19, 2024, which is after the State of Alabama’s statutory deadline for political parties to provide a certificate of nomination for President and Vice President on August 15, 2024,” Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen wrote in a letter obtained by Fox News. “The certificate of nomination must be signed by the presiding officer and secretary of the convention and by the chair of the state executive committee of the political party making the nomination.
“If this Office has not received a valid certificate of nomination from the Democratic Party following its convention by the statutory deadline, I will be unable to certify the names of the Democratic Party’s candidates for President and Vice President for ballot preparation for the 2024 general election.”
President Biden’s name may not appear on another state’s general election ballot in November after Alabama’s chief election official warned Democrats about missing a key deadline in the state’s election process.
In a letter sent Tuesday to officials of both the Alabama Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, a Republican, said the Democrats’ national convention is scheduled to occur past the deadline for certifying a presidential candidate in Alabama.
Allen said the party must provide state officials with a certificate of nomination for president and vice president of the United States no later than Aug. 15 to appear on the Yellowhammer State’s general election ballot.
Last week Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose warned Ohio Democrat Chairwoman Liz Walters that Joe Biden may have trouble getting on Ohio’s general election ballot.
In a letter sent to Liz Walters, the Ohio Secretary of State warned that Joe Biden may be non-compliant because the DNC convention will take place after the state’s deadline to certify a presidential candidate.
Frank LaRose said either the Democrat party can move up its DNC convention or the Ohio state legislature must act by May 9.
“I am left to conclude that the Democratic National Committee must either move up its nominating convention or the Ohio General Assembly must act by May 9, 2024 (90 days prior to a new law’s effective date) to create an exception to this statutory requirement,” legal counsel Paul Disantis wrote in a letter to Ohio Democrat chairwoman Liz Walters obtained by ABC News.
Sickening video footage has emerged showing the moment a Colorado woman who assisted children with disabilities brutally assaulted a special needs child while he was strapped into a harness on a bus. Even worse, the suspect has already been released from prison on bond.
As KUSA reported on Tuesday, Kiarra Jones, a bus aide with Littleton Public Schools, was caught on tape striking a nonverbal 10-year-old boy during the incident, which occurred on March 18. The outlet noted the footage was acquired as part of an investigation after one unnamed parent raised concerns about noticeable bruising on their child.
The students on the bus were being transported to The Joshua School on a bus provided by Littleton Public Schools, according to KUSA. Because they are nonverbal, they could not tell anyone about the beating.
The footage opens with Jones seated next to the little boy. After a few seconds, Jones elbows the child in the midsection and then smacks him in the face with her fist.
Jones then concludes the assault by stomping on his feet.
WATCH (Warning: disturbing footage):
JUST IN: Colorado paraprofessional Kiarra Jones arrested for assaulting children with disabilities.
This makes my blood boil.
Jones worked as a bus aide to help children with autism and other disabilities travel between school and their homes.
KUSA notes that while Jones was arrested on April 4 as a result of the incident, she is already out on bond as a free woman.
Attorney Qusair Mohamedbhai, who represents at least two families whose children ride the bus, released the shocking video to the media on Tuesday and had strong words for school districts failing to protect special needs children.
“The abuses of special needs children continues to occur because school districts treat this community as a burden rather than a blessing,” he said. “School districts routinely fail to train and support those who work with special needs student populations.”
KUSA reveals that while a background check shows this in Jones’s first arrest, authorities are investigating more abuses potentially involving her. An Englewood Police detective wrote in an affidavit that he personally witnessed child abuse on February 13 and March 1.
Englewood Police in a statement Tuesday also said more than one student was assaulted.
Littleton Public Schools released a statement to families of the school children on Tuesday afternoon. They claimed Jones was fired on March 19, the day following the incident, saying they do not tolerate “this kind of behavior.”
This kind of behavior cannot be and is not tolerated. As parents, you trust us with the well-being of your children and you should never have to worry about them being harmed when they are in our care.
The school district also said Jones did not have much access to students during her time of employment.
ATTENTION READERS: BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE ALL-IMPORTANT CALL TO ACTION INCLUDED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ARTICLE AND ATTEND CARA’S EMERGENCY COURT HEARING TOMORROW AT 9:30 AM ET.
MAGA U.S. Senate candidate Cara Castronuova (R-NY) will represent herself at a historic emergency hearing tomorrow in her lawsuit to ensure free and fair elections for candidates chosen by the people, not political insiders and establishment hacks, in the state of New York.
As Paul Ingrasia previously reported for The Gateway Pundit, Cara Castronuova filed a lawsuit in New York State Federal Court that seeks to change New York’s notoriously draconian and anti-democratic ballot eligibility laws. Under current law, candidates running for public office who are not chosen by the Ed Cox-led state party apparatus, like Cara Castronuova, who hopes to secure the Republican Party nomination for Senate, must collect 15,000 pen ink original signatures over 37 calendar days in order to qualify.
State Party Chairman Ed Cox has operated effectively as the gatekeeper for a trenchant New York State Republican Party that refuses to change with the times, particularly with regard to selecting candidates who are stridently and unapologetically pro-Trump and pro-America First, much like Cara Castronuova. As evidence: the State Party’s last two candidates for major electoral offices – Mike Sapraicone, whom the Party handpicked in a closed-door convention in February for Senate, is a well-known Trump hater who has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats over the years. As recently as 2022, Sapraicone made contributions to Trump-hating District Attorney Letitia James, who is spearheading the ongoing political prosecution against President Trump in New York State, including overseeing his criminal trial set to begin in Manhattan, later this month.
As reported by Ingrasia, in 2000, when John McCain was running in his first bid for President in the Republican Primary, he too challenged New York State on the basis of its arbitrary and unduly burdensome signature requirement laws. A judge at the time found McCain, a major presidential candidate with national name recognition and enormous resources behind him, to have a valid constitutional claim against New York State’s onerous so-called “petition gathering scheme.” Steve Forbes too, another billionaire candidate with significant financial resources to expend on paid “volunteer walkers,” was also found by New York courts to have a valid legal claim because of the undue burden imposed by New York’s onerous election rules – Forbes and McCain’s cases (on the books as Molinari v. Powers) were cited as controlling authorities by Castronuova in her lawsuit.
However, unlike John McCain, Cara is an America First Gateway Pundit reporter and outspoken supporter of President Trump, as well as a born fighter with two Golden Gloves Boxing Championships under her belt–which is why the RINO Uniparty Establishment is trying so desperately to stop her.
If successful in her lawsuit, Castronuova will be permitted to run in a three-way Republican primary and eventually against Kirsten Gillibrand, the current Democrat Senator from New York.
Cara told The Gateway Pundit,
The Board of Elections and the two parties have crafted a scheme called the “petition gathering scheme”. This SCAM requires a candidate that is not the establishment’s “favored candidate” to get upwards of 15,000 signatures, and they suggest you get triple the amount (45k!) in order to get on the ballot. Keep in mind, the establishment pick in my case doesn’t have to get a single signature. The only “signature” he got was from the chairman of the GOP party here in New York State. Meanwhile, I got upwards of 15,000 signatures from actual, real American people. What makes the Republican chairman’s signature count more than those 15,000+ people who want me on the ballot?
Once a candidate gets their signatures, the Republican and Democrat parties will get their proxies to fight to the death to get the signatures invalidated and knocked out in court. (This is absolute utter disrespect to the voter who signed the petition.) No average American stands a chance or has the money to pay the legal fees that would be necessary to challenge the party. So, most average Americans, the very ones that should be representing us in government, can ever run for office thanks to this unconstitutional SCAM. And that is why we are in the horrific state we are in in New York. It is almost impossible for 99.9% of the population to challenge anyone in the high government offices. The only people they will put into those positions are (in my opinion) either compromised because they owe their election win to the party or incredibly wealthy people who gave “donations” to all right people to get to the top.

EMERGENCY HEARING IN THE FEDERAL COURTHOUSE IN BROOKLYN TOMORROW FOR MY BALLOT ACCESS CASE!
We The People want to pick our own candidates. We are and tired of the coronations. We are sick of the tomato can candidates the establishment keeps putting up to lose.
Please come down tomorrow morning to the federal courthouse on 225 Cadman Plaza East, meet us at 9:30am outside and then come watch my emergency hearing at 10 AM. I will ask the judge in an emergency hearing for immediate ballot access for the Republican Primary.
I got the ridiculous 15,000 signatures required (an unconstitutional requirement by the way) and almost killed myself doing it. Now is the STALLING period that the NY State Republican Committee and Board of Elections crafted to give my opponent an unfair advantage.
My opponent is out there campaigning and fundraising for close to 50 days now while I’m dealing with this NONSENSE of signature gathering and worrying about legal battles.
My opponent has an unconstitutional head start and it’s a violation of my equal protection, under the constitution of the United States. While I was out there for over a month gathering tens of thousands of signatures in the pouring rain, and on holidays, he was sitting on his you know what…hobnobbing, fundraising, appearing in media.
This individual was not required to collect a single signature, which again is unconstitutional, and a violation of equal protection. This will be addressed in court.
Please come support me and the Constitution, and We The People’s right to pick our candidates without unconstitutional intervention.
EMERGENCY HEARING IN THE FEDERAL COURTHOUSE IN BROOKLYN TOMORROW FOR MY BALLOT ACCESS CASE!
We The People want to pick our own candidates. We are and tired of the coronations. We are sick of the tomato can candidates the establishment keeps putting up to lose.

Media personality Alex Jones declared his intention to file lawsuits against the FBI and CIA during an appearance on the Benny Johnson show.
This announcement followed the release of an undercover video by Sound Investigations, which featured a CIA officer purportedly admitting to federal agencies targeting conservatives, including Jones.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the footage in which Gavin O’Blennis, a Contracting Officer for the CIA, was caught on hidden camera by an undercover journalist claiming that the FBI could imprison anyone by setting them up, a method he referred to as a “nudge.”
O’Blennis singled out right-wing journalists, specifically Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones, as being problematic and suggested that the FBI “took [Jones’] money away” and “chopped his legs off” as a means of crippling his operations.
O’Blennis also disclosed the presence of undercover FBI agents during the events at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, suggesting a widespread federal involvement in key national events. He mentioned the use of “embellished news” and “fake social media” as tools to incite public anger and manipulate public perception.

During his interview with Benny Johnson, Alex Jones expressed his conviction that the now-public statements by O’Blennis necessitate immediate action.
“I am planning to launch a lawsuit against the CIA and the FBI,” Jones said. He contextualized the timing of the undercover video’s release as a divine intervention, coinciding with the closure of his bankruptcy proceedings and other legal matters.
The Infowars founder said that his portrayal by the media and the government was a misrepresentation aimed at demonizing him. He indicated that his planned lawsuit would not only be a personal vindication but an effort to expose the overreach of “rogue agencies” operating like a “domestic KGB.”
In discussing potential legal strategies, Jones mentioned consulting with multiple law firms, highlighting First Amendment violations as a central issue, and stressed the importance of bringing evidence to light through the discovery process in court.
He also made a public appeal to Elon Musk, whom he noted had supported various freedom-related lawsuits, to assist in bringing the truth to light.

Just when you thought The View couldn’t get any dumber.
On Monday’s episode of ABC’s ‘The View,’ co-host Sunny Hostin was fact-checked by her co-hosts after she suggested that a range of unrelated natural phenomena were indicators of climate change.
The segment began with co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House communications director and current co-host, referencing the rare occurrence of a solar eclipse and a recent earthquake in New York City, noting that these events had sparked a flurry of end-of-the-world conspiracies online.
“So, what’s kind of crazy is with the earthquake on Friday and then the eclipse today, people are having all sorts of conspiracies about the end of the world,” said Griffin.
“And then I read online that the earthquake epicenter was actually at Bedminster in New Jersey. Fun fact – it originated with Trump.”
Sunny Hostin then shared a personal story about her studio makeup artist’s reaction to the earthquake, saying, “Jesus is coming” and “the rapture is here,” humorously noting the panic it had caused backstage.
Hostin added, “The cicadas are on their way,” articulating the term as ‘sick-ah-duhs.’ Goldberg corrected her, “Cicadas,” opting for the pronunciation ‘sick-cay-duhs.’
“This is the first occurrence in nearly a century,” Hostin added, seeking to validate her statement.
“No, no, no. There are two different kinds of cicadas. It happens every 17 years,” Goldberg interjected.
Despite the hiccup, Hostin attempted to connect the emergence of cicadas, the solar eclipse, and the earthquake to climate change.
“All those things together, would maybe lead one to believe that either climate change exists, or something is really going on,” Hostin said.
Co-host Joy Behar directly challenged Hostin’s linking of the earthquake to climate change, emphasizing that seismic activity occurs underground and is unrelated to the planet’s climate.
“Except earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change. It’s underground. It can’t,” Behar said.
“No, it happens,” Goldberg said. “And the eclipse, they’ve known about the eclipse coming because eclipses happen, and they actually can say when these things are going to happen.”
“All these folks who are saying that it’s a sign from God… God doesn’t give you warning. Do you think he gave people at the Tower of Babel a warning? Like, ‘Oh, I’m about to jack you all up’?” Goldberg added.

Aimee Harris, 41, was sentenced by Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to prison, followed by a period of home confinement for her role in the alleged theft and distribution of a diary belonging to Ashley Biden.
As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, Ashley Biden, Joe Biden’s youngest daughter, left her diary under a mattress at the Palm Beach rehab home following a stay at a treatment facility. Two individuals who found Ashley Biden’s diary at a halfway house later sold the diary to James O’Keefe and Project Veritas.
In a January 2019 entry, Ashley Biden recalled how she used to shower with her father, Joe Biden, and suggested it may have contributed to a sex addiction.
The diary describes Ashley and her father, Joe Biden, taking showers together at an inappropriate age.
“I have always been boy crazy,’ Ashley wrote. ‘Hyper-sexualized @ a young age … I remember somewhat being sexualized with [a family member]; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate),’ she wrote in a January 2019 entry, according to the Daily Mail.
James O’Keefe was later the victim of a late-night FBI raid and was arrested by the Biden regime.
In 2022, Aimee Harris and co-defendant Robert Kurlanderwho, who found Ashley Biden’s diary at a halfway house, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property.
In an emotional court appearance, a remorseful Harris expressed regret over her actions, emphasizing her difficult personal circumstances, including surviving domestic abuse and sexual trauma, the New York Post reported.
Despite Harris’s personal plea and her defense attorney’s appeal for leniency based on her traumatic past and responsibilities as a mother, the prosecution highlighted Harris’s pattern of disrespect for the law.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Sobelman claimed that Harris’s actions were not only unlawful but were intended to harm the Biden family and influence the political landscape.
Chief US District Judge Laura Taylor Swain described the act of selling the diary as “despicable,” highlighting the privacy invasion and the potential political motivations behind the sale.
Harris was ordered to serve a one-month prison sentence, pay a $20,000 fine, and undergo three years of probation.
Harris is set to begin serving her prison term in July, while Kurlander’s sentencing is pending.

Certain groups are already calling for the Francis Scott Key Bridge, claiming that Key is a racist figure.
This was predicted by people on social media the instant the bridge collapsed. Lots of people were saying that Democrats would want to rename it for Rep. Elijah Cummings, but that’s not who is being floated as a replacement name.
The left just can’t help themselves in a situation like this. Any time they see an opening, they feel compelled to move.
African American groups call for ditching ‘racist’ Francis Scott Key, naming new bridge after late congressman
A coalition of African American groups in Maryland is pushing for Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge to be renamed once reconstructed over what they say is racism connected to Key’s legacy.
The Caucus of African American Leaders of Anne Arundel County recently voted unanimously to call for changing the names of two bridges in Maryland, including the Key Bridge, and will lobby Democratic Gov. Wes Moore and the state’s Democrat-controlled General Assembly on the proposal, the Baltimore Banner first reported Tuesday. The bridge collapsed in late March when a cargo ship struck a support beam.
The coalition includes groups such as an NAACP chapter and the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, which wants the replacement bridge to be renamed in honor of the late Rep. Parren Mitchell, the first African American elected to the U.S. House from the state of Maryland. Mitchell was also a civil rights pioneer as the first Black graduate student admitted to the University of Maryland.
When asked about the proposal, Moore told Fox News Digital that he remains “laser-focused on providing closure to these families, clearing the channel, and rebuilding the bridge.”
Lots of people saw this coming.
I called that they’d want to rename the Key Bridge the morning of.
National Public Radio is a liberal organization. Everyone knows this. What you may not know is that after Trump won the 2016 election, they went from liberal to full-on activist with a mission to damage Trump as much as possible.
They pushed the Russia collusion hoax and latched onto Rep. Adam Schiff, giving him another platform to push his lies.
They also famously refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story, calling it a non-news story.
Like many unfortunate things, the rise of advocacy took off with Donald Trump. As in many newsrooms, his election in 2016 was greeted at NPR with a mixture of disbelief, anger, and despair. (Just to note, I eagerly voted against Trump twice but felt we were obliged to cover him fairly.) But what began as tough, straightforward coverage of a belligerent, truth-impaired president veered toward efforts to damage or topple Trump’s presidency.
Persistent rumors that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia over the election became the catnip that drove reporting. At NPR, we hitched our wagon to Trump’s most visible antagonist, Representative Adam Schiff.
Schiff, who was the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, became NPR’s guiding hand, its ever-present muse. By my count, NPR hosts interviewed Schiff 25 times about Trump and Russia. During many of those conversations, Schiff alluded to purported evidence of collusion. The Schiff talking points became the drumbeat of NPR news reports.

How NPR Lost the Trust of America
In an exclusive interview, senior business editor at @NPR@UBerliner speaks to @bariweiss about NPR’s shift from a liberal-leaning news organization to its present “knee-jerk,” “activist,” and “scolding” liberal bias.
— Honestly with Bari Weiss (@thehonestlypod) April 9, 2024
This is a taxpayer funded news outlet.
I quit my daily habit of NPR in 2015 when it was clear they had jumped the shark and become the progressive liberal mouthpieces they are now. Defund them ASAP.
This whole thing is self delusional. NPR has been a propaganda network for decades. The idea that this happened in2016 shows you just how deep in their echo chamber they were.
It has been widely reported that there were chants of ‘death to America’ at a recent event in Michigan. It’s the sort of thing we’re used to hearing from Iran but not in our own country.
During The Five on FOX News this week, Greg Gutfeld talked about this issue and where he sees this going. He suggests that the problem is going to get worse as left-leaning cities will be come mini-Gazas throughout the country.
I get the impression with the “Death To America” stuff that we are on a slow roll toward our own little Gazas. These little islands of unrest in the country. These were places that were sacrificed to leftism. Leftisms, where laws were discarded. Identity and division became the currency. Look at Minneapolis since George Floyd. It’s never been the same. It’s all these enclaves.
We were supposed to be a melting pot. But that requires melting. And instead what we are seeing is a hardening. It is a hardening. And we are always accused of xenophobia if we exalt our country’s awesomeness or make fun of another country’s customs. Fair enough. I get it. But it’s a two-way street. If you come here and reject assimilation, free speech, cooperation with people different than you.
Those are our values and if you reject them, you are xenophobic, you are anti-American. It’s not illegal, I guess. But why are we respecting it and why are we encouraging it? Leftism encourages this sort of behavior. It’s time for the adults to enter the room and basically change the conversation or these cities are gone.

Americans are very tolerant people but everyone is losing their patience with the radical left.
Now that Republicans are moving forward in an effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Democrats have adopted a very different view of the subject.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said this week that impeachment shouldn’t be used to settle policy disagreements.
That will be big news to President Trump and his supporters. What changed?
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer said Tuesday that Democrats will move to derail an impeachment trial for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, saying the charges against him are bogus.
Mr. Schumer did not say exactly what method Democrats will use, but other senators said it could involve either tabling or moving to dismiss the case, which could be done through a majority vote.
Republicans decried the expected move that would be the first time in history the Senate shirked a duty to conduct a trial after the House impeached an official.
But Mr. Schumer said he considers the case against Mr. Mayorkas to be illegitimate, and he seemed confident of having the votes to succeed.
“We’re going to try and resolve this issue as quickly as possible,” Mr. Schumer, New York Democrat, told reporters. “Impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements.”
See the video below:
POT, MEET KETTLE: Chuck Schumer says "impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements!" pic.twitter.com/XIB3d3cjw2
Good! Because this isn’t a mere policy difference. It’s a brazen violation of existing federal immigration law & an illegal state sanctioned invasion. So get on with a full trial to ditch Mayorkas. https://t.co/sZWaI8NY0I
Schumer calls letting 11 million criminal illegals into our country a policy disagreement.
Tell that to the families of all of the murdered American families that these criminal illegals murdered that Mayorkas let into our country illegally. https://t.co/dT2wjhb4He
Real life is better than the movies. No doubt. Today’s surprise comes out of Moscow, with an announcement from the State organization charged with investigating major crimes that the Ukrainian company Burisma was involved with financing terrorists:
Russia’s top investigative body announced Tuesday that it has launched a criminal probe into senior officials in the United States and NATO member countries who are suspected of “financing terrorism.”
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said it has “established” that money from commercial organizations had been used to “eliminate prominent political and public figures” inside and outside Russia in recent years, as well as to “inflict economic damage” against the country. . . .
The top law enforcement body named the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings as one of the implicated organizations. U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden served as a member of Burisma’s board of directors between 2014 and 2019.
International Energy Group Burisma has expanded its Board of Directors to include an expert in the field of security and strategic development. Joseph Cofer Black, a former Director of the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center and Ambassador at Large for counter-terrorism recently joined the Board as an independent director at Burisma Group. Ambassador Black resigned from public service in 2005 after a 30 year career and is considered a leading expert and significant figure on U.S. and international security issues.
How about that. A career CIA officer, with no experience in the oil and gas industry beyond pumping gas for his own vehicles, gets a sweet spot on a board alongside Hunter Biden. Before joining the board of Burisma, Mr. Black snagged a spot on the board of a Latvian Bank:
The extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of joint-stock company Baltic International Bank (‘the Bank’) was held on 11 October 2016 where decisions on changes in the composition of the Bank’s Supervisory Board were adopted.
Joseph Cofer Black has been invited to join the existing members of the Bank’s Supervisory Board– Valērijs Belokoņs, Vlada Belokoņa, Andris Ozoliņš and Dr. Hans – Friedrich Von Ploetz – as of November 1, 2016.
Cofer Black’s ostensible qualification for serving on the Bank’s board was his background in counter terrorism. In an interview with DELFI, a business magazine, Cofer claimed expertise in terrorist financing:
What does counterterrorism have in common with banking? How much time do you have? Actually [they are] shockingly similar. I spent the last 12 years of my time [at the CIA] in counterterrorism, but before that I worked in other fields [of intelligence]. An important thing in counterterrorism is what we now call financial counterterrorism. At the beginning of my career, there was little if any combating of terrorism in the financial area. It was my responsibility, but I wasn’t very eager to get into it, because it’s timeconsuming, labor-intensive and expensive. In that time you are trying to outsmart and stop terrorists before they kill people.
Turns out, Cofer was of no help to the Latvian bank on this issue. In 2018 the bank was fined:
Latvia’s financial regulator, the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FKTK) said December 6 it was imposing a 1.5 million euro fine on Baltic International Bank (BIB) “for deficiencies in the Bank’s internal control system.”. . .
“In 2018 the FKTK carried out an on-site inspection of the Bank, as well as a targeted inspection, during which the FCMC identified that the Bank’s internal control system does not fully comply to the regulatory requirements governing the prevention of money laundering and terrorism and proliferation financing (hereinafter – AML/CTPF),” the FKTK said.
“The Bank had not established an adequate internal control system to meet its risks in the field of prevention of money laundering and terrorism and proliferation financing, which would ensure effective compliance with the regulatory requirements,” it added, explaning that “in several cases” the bank had not taken sufficient measures to make certain that a beneficial owner indicated was the beneficial owner; had not obtained documentation and had not taken necessary measures to make certain of the origin of financial means in its customer accounts and had not documented conclusions; had not ensured appropriate and high-quality enhanced customer due diligence; had not duly decided on termination of business relationships with customers and, in a particularly damning comment “had not paid sufficient and special attention to untypical large, complex, inter-related transactions with no apparent economic purpose or clear legal purpose.”
Going back to the charges leveled by Russia’s Investigative Committee, if Cofer Black was on the Burisma Board during the time that Burisma funds were being transferred to groups with ties to terrorists, then it is quite understandable that Russia will be inclined to believe the CIA is implicated, at least indirectly, in terrorist attacks in Russia. Too bad that Latvian bank did not hire me and my partner instead of Cofer. We actually wrote and implemented compliance programs for banks and investment firms that kept them out of this kind of trouble. I can’t wait to see the evidence.
A couple of interesting and unusual interviews today. The first was with Marcos Soares, a Brazilian who lives and works in Italy. The second was with Sarah at DD Geopolitics. We discussed CIA links to terrorist organizations.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which placed unprecedented demands on federal financial assistance programs, also presented ripe opportunities for fraudsters and swindlers to exploit the system.
A report released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement Task Force uncovered a shocking scope of fraud during the pandemic, with over $400 billion in emergency funding either stolen or misappropriated.
According to the report, fraudulent claims and schemes targeted various pandemic relief efforts, including unemployment insurance benefits, Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, and Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs), among others.
These included fraudulent claims filed using stolen identities, inflated payroll expenses, doctored bank statements, and false tax forms.
The report reveals that fraudsters and swindlers may have stolen upwards of $280 billion in emergency funding, with an additional $123 billion lost or misappropriated, totaling more than $400 billion in funds intended to aid Americans during one of the most challenging times in recent history, The Politics Brief reported.
Here are some examples of COVID-19 fraud cases:
A defendant was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for committing PPP, EIDL, and UI fraud, with actual losses of more than $1 million and attempted losses of $3 million. When the government executed search warrants in the case, agents recovered stolen identifying information and ghost guns, including one modified to function as a machine gun.
A defendant pleaded guilty to submitting more than $3.5 million in fraudulent COVID-19 PPP and EIDL applications and using fraudulently obtained funds to pay for a vacation, a Mercedes-Benz, jewelry, and luxury goods, including items from Luis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus, Dior, Cartier, Gucci, Chanel, and Hermes.
The SDFL indicted 17 employees of the Broward Sheriff’s Office were charged with obtaining fraudulent PPP/ EIDL loans. One former deputy was recently convicted at trial, several employees have pleaded guilty, and other defendants’ cases are still pending.
A defendant was sentenced to 71 months in prison for fraudulently obtaining PPP and EIDL loans and Shuttered Venue Operator Grants (SVOG), using the stolen funds to buy two Tesla S models, a Lamborghini, a Porsche, a diamond Audemars Piguet watch, a rose gold and diamond pendant with his company’s logo, a half-kilogram gold chain with 70 carats of diamonds, and a 1-kilogram gold chain.
A former contract detention officer at the federal Krome Detention facility who was the leader of a PPP fraud ring was sentenced to 32 months in prison for preparing fraudulent PPP applications in return for kickbacks.
A defendant was sentenced to 70 months in prison for laundering the over $2 million in fraudulently obtained PPP and EIDL loans and using the funds to gamble and to pay for cosmetic surgery, a Cadillac Escalade, and a Pomeranian puppy.
In the Southern District of Georgia, a Florida-based attorney was convicted at trial of conspiracy to fraudulently obtain almost $800,000 in Economic Injury Disaster Loans for herself and others.
In the Western District of Washington, the ringleader of a $6.8 million pandemic fraud ring was sentenced to five years in prison for fraudulently seeking funds from various relief programs.
In the Eastern District of Washington, an Arkansas-based business owner pleaded guilty to fraudulently receiving more than $16.5 million in SBApandemic relief funds for himself and others.
In the Eastern District of Virginia, a former VA nurse was sentenced to 18 years in prison for conspiring to fraudulently obtain more than $3.5 million in UI benefits from at least five states. She and her co-conspirators filed more than 220 false applications for unemployment insurance benefits using stolen identities and the identities of state and federal prison inmates.
In the Middle District of Florida, a defendant was sentenced to eight years and six months in prison for obtaining more than $7.2 million in PPP loan funds, which he used to purchase Maserati and Mercedes-Benz cars and buy a 12-acre estate.
The District of Minnesota has brought charges against more than 50 individuals for their respective roles in a $250 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the Eastern District of Michigan, a man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role as the ringleader of conspiracies to use stolen identities to fraudulently obtain $2.1 million in unemployment insurance benefits from multiple states and to traffic in methamphetamine.
The DOJ’s COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement Task Force has made significant strides in combating this fraud, with over 3,500 defendants criminally charged with more than $1.4 billion in fraudulently obtained CARES Act funds seized or forfeited and more than 400 civil settlements and judgments.
However, the sheer magnitude of the fraud indicates that much work remains to be done.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Paul Pelosi, who has an 8.1 percent share of restaurant company EDI Associates, received loans of more than $1.7 million from the federal government, which won’t have to be repaid.
This one holds a special place in my @SpeakerPelosi ‘s husband Paul Pelosi took some PPP loans as well even though him and his wife do absolutely excellent in the stock market and both also have two full time careers. Clearly they needed it… pic.twitter.com/lMVDb6HpwL
EDI Associates was given two loans – one for $711,708 and the other for $996,392.
As the database shows, both loans have been forgiven. As noted by the Daily Mail, the decision to forgive a loan is based upon a formula that takes into account the number of employees retained and their wages.
The news about the husband of the House speaker raised eyebrows on social media.
Paul Pelosi has a net worth of over 120 Million and took a 1,709,100 dollar PPP loan that was then forgiven. But they need 87,000 IRS agents to look into your finances.

The Iowa women drew in 18.87 million viewers in their NCAA final game against the South Carolina women’s basketball juggernaut.
Caitlin Clark and her Iowa teammates were involved in the four most-viewed games in women’s college basketball history.
Nicole Auerback reported:
A massive WBB viewership record was set a year ago, with Iowa-LSU drawing 9.9M viewers. Then it was broken by the Iowa-LSU rematch in the Elite Eight, broken again by Iowa-UConn in the Final Four, and broken again by Iowa-South Carolina in the title game.
The Caitlin Clark effect:
** 2023 NCAA Championship with Iowa vs. LSU — 9.9 million viewers.
** April 1 2024 NCAA quarterfinal game with Iowa vs. reigning champions LSU — 12.3 million viewers
Another record for Caitlin Clark – The LSU-Iowa game was the most-watched women’s basketball game EVER!
** April 5, 2024 NCAA semifinal with Iowa vs. UConn Huskies – 14.2 million viewers (Almost topping the men’s final game)
** April 7, 2024 NCAA final with Iowa vs. UC – 18.87 million viewers almost doubling the previous year’s record!
A massive WBB viewership record was set a year ago, with Iowa-LSU drawing 9.9M viewers. Then it was broken by the Iowa-LSU rematch in the Elite Eight, broken again by Iowa-UConn in the Final Four, and broken again by Iowa-South Carolina in the title game. https://t.co/jJTHe03rMZ
Despite Caitlin Clark’s enormous success and the record interest in women’s basketball for the first time EVER — the old stars of yesteryear showed nothing but jealousy and disgust for Caitlin this year.
Iowa’s Caitlin Clark broke every record imaginable this year in women’s AND men’s basketball.
• D-I scoring leader (3,951 pts)
• only D-I player w/ 3,500 pts, 1,000 ast & 850 reb in a career
• most pts in single season in D-I WBB (1,234)
• most 3pt in single season in D-I hist (201)
• most pts (491), ast (152), 3pt (78) in NCAAT in career
• only player w/ 40 pts, 10 ast in NCAAT gm (she has 2)
• only player w/ 30+ pt trip-dbl in NCAAT
• only D-I player to led CBB in pts & ast in single season 2x
• B1G all-time ast leader (1,144)
• only player w/ > 3 career 25+ pt trip-dbl (she has 10)
Caitlin Clark also brought excitement to the game of women’s basketball – something unimaginable before she entered college.
Look at how Caitlin compared to the rest of the women’s league in her performance.
(Open the tweet to see the little green mark in the upper right-hand corner of the chart. The chart helps explain the excitement surrounding Clark.)
Former women’s record holder Lynette Woodard trashed Clark’s all-time scoring record.
Male jocks have seen their records broken thanks to a series of rule changes over decades without displaying the level of jealousy we’ve seen Caitlin Clark ignite.
Woodard forgot to mention that she played against much smaller schools when she was in college. But whatever.
Caitlin may have a 3 point line but she didn’t play Wayne State, Delta State, Central Missouri, Northwest Missouri State, Grand View, Northwest Oklahoma State and Wayland Baptist for regular season games like you did. she would’ve broken your record a lot quicker if she did https://t.co/0g0SDB8p7w
The women would rather destroy Caitlin Clark than admit to her greatness.
Jason Whitlock may have offered Caitlin the most logical advice telling Caitlin to stay at Iowa for another year, make millions, and then bypass the WNBA and retire.
Caitlin Clark should return to Iowa next season, make about $20 million in NIL, retire from basketball, marry her boyfriend, and avoid the nastiness that awaits her in the WNBA. I’m not joking.
Caitlin Clark and Iowa Women's Team Draw 4 Million More Viewers than Men's NCAA Championship Game - But Ignorant WNBA 'Stars' Still Throw Shade at Clark - Jason Whitlock Weighs In | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft
The NCAA Men's Basketball Final drew 14.82 million viewers on Monday night. The game between Purdue and UConn men surpassed the previous year's final by 4%. The men's number was 4 million viewers short from the women's final with Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Iowa women drew in 18.87 mill

This is the most powerful argument for Donald Trump for President we have seen in years! It is that good.
Tom Klingenstein also wisely defines in detail the current war we are fighting against ‘woke’ revolutionaries that kick and spit on America.
And, Klingenstein argues that this is Trump’s time, adding, “Lincoln spoke of Americans as the almost chosen people. Trump gives us hope that the God who has never forsaken his almost chosen people will not do so now.”
This video was beautifully produced.
It just happened to pop up as an ad on X and it captured my eye… and then my heart.
Here is the transcript – “TRUMP’S VIRTUES, Part II.”
USA!… USA!… USA!… USA!…
Tom Klingenstein: Now that President Trump is the Republican nominee for President in 2024, it’s time for Republicans, including those who doubt him or even can’t stand him to get behind him. The times demand it. We are in a war fighting an enemy of revolutionaries that kick and spit on America. I call our enemy the Woke regime or the Group quota regime. This war is a contest between those who love America and those who hate it. But we do not have a commander-in-chief. You can’t win a war without one. We shouldn’t much care whether our commander-in-chief is a real conservative, whether he is a role model for children, or says lots of silly things, or whether he is modest or dignified.
What we should care about is whether he knows we are in a war, knows who the enemy is, and knows how to win.
Trump does. His policies are important but not as important as the rest of him. Trump grasps the essential things. He understands the Group Joueur de Regime is evil and will not stop until it destroys America. He is a fighter, bold, brave, and decisive, who has confidence in himself and his country.
Trump never apologizes for America. He rightly believes America is the greatest country in history. Trump says, in effect, we have our culture. It’s exceptional, and that’s the way we want to keep it. And we won’t keep it if we usher in millions of immigrants with cultures different from our own. Trump knows his job is to protect Americans and just Americans. Protect them not just from enemies abroad, but from the woke globalists within. He knows that America does not need more diversity. It needs more cohesion. The woke radicals tell the Trump voters they are a threat to democracy. Think about that. They’re saying, You Trumpsters are a threat to democracy. The woke radicals also tell us ad nauseam that America is systemically racist. Trump knows this is deadly nonsense, and he says so. This charge of systemic racism bounces off Trump because he has no white guilt, or any guilt for that matter. Trump tells his supporters what they already know. They are not racist, and they do not have white privilege. The woke radicals shut up those who disagree. Trump will not be shut up. If they manage to put him in jail, he will still roar like a lion.
The woke radicals have the moral arrogance of fanatics. Trump, God bless him, knows we are all sinners. Trump rejects the utopian fanaticism of the woke radicals. He is a businessman who takes the world on its own terms and navigates by facts and common sense. Trump’s base knows firsthand the America that Trump wants to recover. They love him, and they know he loves them. They will fight for him because they know he will fight for them. Trump speaks to his supporters as fellow citizens without any condescension or poll-tested BS. Despite his billions, he is one of them, an outsider looking in, a man who takes catsup on his steak. And is as disgusted as they are with the anti-American elite.
This natural appeal has molded everyday patriotic Americans into an army. We cannot stop the left’s revolution and retake the nation without these men and women. Unlike most Conservatives, they will actually fight for America. But they follow Trump. Without him, they stay home. With him, they are united and determined. At his rallies, his audience invariably breaks into chance of USA, USA. In these moments, Trump and his audience mutually pledge to each other their fidelity and their sacred honor.
His enemies hate him with an indescribable fierceness. Another Hitler, they say. Elect him and he will be a dictator. We should take this hysteria as reason for hope.
The America-haters rightly fear that Trump and his party are on the threshold of a successful counter-revolution. Trump hates his enemies every bit as much as they hate him. His enemies are America’s enemies. Trump is the most towering figure of our time. He has changed politics, not just in America, but in the West. If we are to take back America, we need someone who is unmovable, who has proven that he can stand up against the immensely powerful army of woke modernity that will attack him with all its might. Someone who will go after the deep state without pity or compassion. And someone who has the conviction that America is still the last best hope of Earth. That someone is Trump. Trump, the politician, came out of the blue. An unconventional commander against an unconventional enemy. Almost inconceivable as President at any other time.
Trump fits this turbulent moment to a T. Is it too much to wonder whether the appearance of this most unconventional man is providential?
Lincoln spoke of Americans as the almost chosen people. Trump gives us hope that the God who has never forsaken his almost chosen people will not do so now.
Hans Von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, joined Grant Stinchfield on Stinchfield Tonight on RAV Tuesday night to discuss Joe Biden’s open borders and the impeachment of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
So far Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has refused to hold the Senate trial for DHS Secretary Mayorkas.
During their conversation, Hans Von Spakovsky detailed the numerous violations of the law by the Biden regime and DHS Secretary Mayorkas regarding the millions of illegal aliens they have allowed in the country.
Hans Von Spakovsky: Last year, me and several other senior analysts at Heritage, we wrote an almost 50-page paper listing all of the violations of federal immigration law that Mayorkas has committed. It’s not just violating the law himself, but it’s directing staff, the Border Patrol, to violate federal law. The idea this is just a policy dispute is just wrong. This is a deliberate policy. Just one item, mass paroling illegal aliens coming across the border, the ones they catch, they immediately release, they parole them, that violates federal immigration law.
Grant Stinchfield: They’re giving them, I know, some of them, two-year work permits. I don’t think they have the authority to issue those two-year work permits?
Hans Von Spakovsky: No, they do not. That’s another straight-out violation federal immigration law. Federal immigration statutes very carefully lay out who can be issued work permits. Illegal aliens who have come into this country cannot be issued work permit. It just can’t be done. So again, a straight out violation of federal law by Mayorkas.
Hans Von Spakovsky also reminded Grant that holding the US Senate impeachment trial is not an option it is the law.
Grant Stinchfield: I think one of the things this puts the spotlight on is the importance for Republicans to control the Senate and, of course, the House. Because even I was not aware. I’ve been doing this for a while, and I was not aware that they can just dismiss this with 51 votes, that it doesn’t even have to go to trial, where, of course, you’d need much more than that to convict this guy. But 51 votes, I don’t think this sees the light of day as far as a trial goes. I think this will get dismissed by Schumer very quickly.
Hans Von Spakovsky: Yeah, but in order to do that, he will have to violate the Senate’s rules. The Senate has a special rule that it put in place, a parliamentary rule, to handle impeachments. The rule was implemented back in the 1980s. That rule calls for a trial. There is no language in there whatsoever that simply allows a motion to dismiss and a vote on a motion to dismiss. Plus, look, the Constitution says the House votes on whether to impeach a federal official, and the Senate then is responsible for holding a trial and determining whether they are guilty or should be acquitted. There’s nothing in there about not holding a trial and simply throwing it out.
On Chuck Schumer disregarding senate rules to dismiss the Mayorkas impeachment
Hans Von Spakovsky: Oh, I think he’ll violate his own parliamentary rules to bring up a motion to dismiss, and they’ll throw it out. Because, as I think you said earlier, if they actually hold a trial and they start bringing in all of the evidence of not only all the violations of federal law that have occurred, but the results of those violations, the things that have happened all over the country, like the murder of Laken Reilly, because this alien, he was stopped at the border, processed and released. So that is directly the fault of Mayorkas’ policies.
The laws and rules only apply to conservatives and Trump supporters. The Democrats really don’t care if they break the rules. Just like they don’t care if they destroy the country with their open borders.
Joe Rogan went off on CNN again this week over their famous Ivermectin smear campaign.
Joe Rogan: “I never thought that I would get sucked into something like that where people would be lying about me. But when you watch it on CNN, just flat-out lying. That’s a function of power, dude. But it’s wild. The dumbest lie.
B*tch, do you think I’m taking horse medicine? You don’t think I know really good doctors that are telling me what to take? How about the fact that I got better quick? That doesn’t freak you out at all? I got better real quick. You were so happy, I bet, when that shit kicked. What was it, 48 hours then you were done. Yeah. Three days later, after I was sick, I made that video, and I was fine. Three days after that, I did 10 rounds on the bag. Six days in, I did 10 rounds on the bag. I’m like, Let’s see how I feel. I worked out five days in. I felt pretty good. I said, All right, tomorrow, let’s get after it. I did 10 fucking rounds on the back. Full clip. No problems. No problems. No lack of energy. I felt 100% six days later. Yeah. 100%.
But I’m on top of my f*cking health all day long, all year round. I’m always in shape. I always take vitamins. I’m always eating well. I sleep good. I do a lot of things. You can’t say that everyone has to adhere to the rules of this thing when you’re lying about the results, you’re lying about the studies, you’re influencing all these talking heads to say these things that turn out to not even be remotely true. Not only that, there’s no studies behind it. They had to admit when they were speaking in front of whatever it was in the UK, that they tested these drugs for transmission. They just tested them to see if they created the antibodies. Then all that other stuff they said was bullshit.”
This is not the first time Joe Rogan went after CNN for smearing him and lying about Ivermectin.
The struggle between free-speech champion Elon Musk and the censure lovers of the regrettable current Brazilian government is still raging, with developments from each side.
Musk has made it clear that the judicial orders by tyrannical Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ‘are the most draconian demands of any country on Earth’.
Support for his courageous stand is coming from a myriad of freedom-loving Brazilians, with many thousands of memes celebrating the fact that someone has said ENOUGH to the Lula administration’s out-of-control actions.
Many foreigners are also joining the good fight, from the American General Flynn to the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin.
Of course, many globalists, socialists, and tyrannical-minded people are out to get him.
Now, X will show the world what is really happening behind the curtains, and the abuse from the Brazilian court:
Coming shortly, will publish everything demanded by @Alexandre and how those requests violate Brazilian law.
This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached.
Bu to do so, Musk needs “to get our employees in Brazil to a safe place or otherwise not in a position of responsibility” because they “have been told they will be arrested.”
We need to get our employees in Brazil to a safe place or otherwise not in a position of responsibility, then we will do a full data dump
“The comments add to an escalating row over disinformation between Brazilian authorities, X and Musk after the billionaire ordered the company to reinstate accounts blocked by the government.
Musk also slammed Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes as the ‘Dictator of Brazil’, days after de Moraes accused the billionaire of waging a ‘disinformation campaign’ against the court and its actions.”
The whole world will know how Brazilian justices are overstepping his authority to censor free speech.
Moraes’ order levied ‘massive fines’ and besides threatening to arrest X employees, he also says he may cut off access to X in Brazil.
Musk is now included in the investigations about ‘disinformation’, and he laughed this ridiculous threats the way only a powerful billionaire can.
Now, the Brazilian government is threatening to cancel all contracts with Musk’s Starlink, which is a childish reaction, since the satellite service is taking broadband internet to schools in remote areas of the Amazon.
But Musk has struck a major PR goal against the socialist tyrants by saying that, if the Lula government doesn’t ‘honor’ the contract, he will nevertheless provide the service for those schools – for free! At this point he behaves like a real hero.
Smoke and flames billow after Israeli forces struck a high-rise tower in Gaza City, October 7, 2023. Palestinian militants have begun a “war” against Israel which they infiltrated by air, sea and land from the blockaded Gaza Strip, Israeli officials said, a major escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

A proportional response means it will happen again and again until Israel is destroyed.
The liberals want Israel to “show restraint.” The most unthinking are those calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. As long as Hamas continues to exist, this war can never end. A ceasefire would be followed by countless billions in developmental aid flowing from the globalist establishment into Gaza. It would be a huge win for Hamas. Terrorist attacks against Israel would continue. And if Israel reacted again in the future, they would immediately be attacked by the globalists. Both Hezbollah and Hamas will continue to attack Israel, provoking, wounding, occasionally killing, and the world will continue telling Israel to restrain itself.
The Covenant of Hamas clearly states Hamas’s goal of killing all of the Jews and eliminating Israel. “HAMAS” is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement. The movement issued the Covenant of HAMAS on August 18, 1988. Hamas, an extremist fundamentalist Islamic organization, has been designated a terrorist organization by the US and many Western powers. The group was elected as the official authority in Gaza in 2006.
Hamas operates with the expressed intent of destroying the State of Israel through Jihad (Islamic Holy War). The HAMAS Covenant states: ‘The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine.’ (Article 6). This suggests that not only does Hamas seek to eradicate Israel in Gaza, but also in the territory currently known as Israel, as well as the West Bank, where Hamas holds no authority.
Article 7 of the Hamas Covenant is interpreted as a call for genocide against Jews: “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.'”
There is no way to negotiate with a group whose aim is genocide. Liberals calling for compromise are actually just calling for Israel’s capitulation. What compromise would be possible? Hamas wants to kill 100% of the Jews. Should the two parties haggle and agree for Hamas to kill 40% instead? Given Hamas’s genocidal intent, there is no way that the two sides can coexist.
The two-state solution is complete nonsense. Gaza and the West Bank are not contiguous; they cannot be a single country. It would be impossible for Israel to ensure its security because they would be pressured by globalists to not impede Palestinians passing through Israel from one state to the other.
The liberals keep stressing that Gazaa and the Palestinians are not Hamas. However, there appears to be no anti-Hamas movement in Gaza. There is no anti-Hamas resistance. The Gazans looked very happy when they were celebrating after the October 7th attack on Israel. So, it is unclear how the liberals see Hamas as distinct from Gaza. And if they are distinct, why have the liberals not condemned Hamas? There don’t seem to be protests in the US or Europe stating “We support Gaza, but condemn Hamas.”
Even the liberals, even the Queers for Palestine are refusing to condemn Hamas. If they do not differentiate between Hamas and Gaza, then why should everyone else?
Iran and Qatar must also be held accountable for their support of Hamas and other militias. Qatar has provided financial and political support to Hamas, and Hamas’s political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was based in Qatar for a period. Additionally, Qatar has hosted a Hamas office, which serves as a political bureau and facilitates communication and coordination with the international community. This office has been involved in diplomatic efforts and media relations on behalf of Hamas.
Right now, the Houthis, an Iran-backed militia, are disrupting global shipping. Hezbollah is also ratcheting up their harassment of Israel, firing missiles into Israeli territory and trying to instigate a war. Given Israel’s current posture of seeking a military solution to finally end these insurgencies, Hezbollah may get the war they are asking for.
The world must not just sit on the sidelines, but should take an active role in targeting Iran, destroying the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) preventing China from supporting Iran economically, and disabling Iran’s ability to fund and train regional militias. This would decrease China and Russia’s access to oil and drones, respectively, which would help the US achieve foreign policy objectives in Asia, as well as in Ukraine.
One way to alleviate the burden on American taxpayers funding Ukraine would be to end the war. If China’s support for Russia were cut, the end would come much sooner. If Russia did not have Iranian drones, that would also help level the field and bring the end nearer.
Attacks on Iran would also serve to destroy Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The only way that Israel can survive is to eliminate Hamas. The only way for the region to be stabilized is for Iran’s destabilizing force to be eliminated.

A far-left Democrat Congresswoman has suggested she is supportive of one the most shocking forms of racial discrimination: exempting black people in America from having to pay taxes as a form of reparations while other racial groups have to fork over money to Uncle Sam.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made the suggestion to host Jehan “J” Carter on ‘The Black Lawyers Podcast’ last week, as the Daily Mail reported.
When Carter asked Crockett about reparations for black people, she told the host, “I don’t know, that’s not necessarily a bad idea” and that it may not be as objectionable to simply handing out money to people.
She goes on to argue that reparations in some form are necessary. “We end up being so far behind,” she whines.
Crockett then admits that the no-tax scheme may face challenges because poorer blacks are not paying taxes to begin with. She agrees with Carter that poorer blacks may just want checks from the government, like what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggests exempting blacks from taxes.
She then says maybe it’s not the best idea because many blacks don’t pay any taxes anyway… so maybe give free checks. pic.twitter.com/hPCNleGl1p
CROCKETT: Just this past week I saw, I don’t remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity, and I was like, I don’t know that that’s not necessarily a bad idea, but I’d have to think it through a lot,” she began in a clip circulating social media. One of the things that they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time.
But at the same time, it may not be as objectionable to some people about actually giving out dollars. But obviously, then you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things like that, and that’s one of the reasons that you know, we argue that reparations make sense because so many black folks — not only do you owe for the labor that was stolen, killed and all the other things, right? — but the fact is, we end up being so far behind.
If you do the no-tax thing for people that are already, say, struggling and not paying taxes in the first place…
CARTER (laughing): They may want those checks like they got from COVID…

FOX News reporter Jacqui Heinrich exposes Karine Jean-Pierre and Biden administration at White House presser.
FOX News reporter Jacqui Heinrich exposed the Biden Administration’s complete absence of moral clarity at the latest White House press briefing.
Jacqui Heinrich asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to explain why they were not condemning the anti-American chants by Dearborn Islamists but instead were calling Republicans “murderers” for opposing the failures and climbing costs of Obamacare.
Curtis Houck, the Managing Editor of Newsbusters, posted the transcript of this questioning in a thread on Twitter-X.
Here is the transcript of the exchange:
Jacqui Heinrich: “A couple days ago in Deaborn, there were protesters chanting, ‘Death to America!’ and, ‘Death to Israel!’ Does the President condemn that?”
Karine Jean Pierre (KJP): “Yes.”
Heinrich: “Is the President at all concerned that Dearborn is becoming – is facing a risk of becoming a hotbed of any sort of homegrown threats?”
KJP: “I don’t have any intelligence to share with you on that. Obviously, that’s something that we’re always very vigilant about, but don’t have any national intelligence to share with you.”
Heinrich: “And then…”
KJP: “But, obviously, we will condemn any – any of violent rhetoric…”
Heinrich: “…Would we be seeing a statement?”
KJP: “…Which …which we have been very, I mean, you’re hearing from me, right? You’re asking me a question. I’m answering it and we’ve been very vigilant about… or very consistent about denouncing that type of that type of rhetoric.”
JACQUI TIME: : “A couple days ago in Deaborn, there were protesters chanting, ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel.’ Does the President condemn that?”
Heinrich: “Should we see a – should we expect a statement from the President on that? It was a pretty significant display.”
KJP: “I mean, you’re hearing from me. I think that’s important. The other part, too, that I do want to be very clear about – you know, peaceful protest is something that the President has also been very, very clear that is important for – to give folks space to peacefully protest, but any type of violent rhetoric, we are going to denounce.”
.@JacquiHeinrich: “Should we see a – should we expect a statement from the President on that? It was a pretty significant display.”
KJP: “I mean, you’re hearing from me. I think that’s important. The other part, too, that I do want to be very clear about – you know, peaceful… pic.twitter.com/cVk7prsRjb
After setting up KDP, Jacqui Heinrich then goes for the kill shot.
Heinrich: “And then, on some of the comments he made today, did – did the President mean to, essentially accuse Republicans of – of murder? I mean, the – the language that he was using to describe opposition to the Affordable Care Act – the quote was, um, ‘They want to terminate the Affordable Care Act. Terminate will – guess what – kill millions of Americans.’Does he think that Republicans are trying to kill Americans?”
KJP: “I think you’re – I think you’re taking the most extreme – extreme definition or extreme evaluation of what the President said. Here’s the reality. The Affordable Care Act, which obviously started in the Obama-Biden administration, the President expanded on that, making sure that people have affordable health care that saves lives. It does. It is important.”
Heinrich: “[Inaudible] use other language, though? It – it’s a stronger than usual…”
KJP: “But you’re taking what he said to the most extreme part of – of your definition or your realization.”
Heinrich: “Well, he said it.”
KJP: “I know, but let’s be – let’s be really clear.”
Heinrich: “…He – he said –”
KJP: “Let’s…”
Heinrich: “…harm and…”
KJP: “…Let’s be really clear. People having health care is important. It saves lives. It is important to have that.”
.@JacquiHeinrich: “And then, on some of the comments he made today, did – did the President mean to – essentially accuse Republicans of – of murder? I mean, the – the language that he was using to describe opposition to the Affordable Care Act – the quote was, um, ‘they want to… pic.twitter.com/fLFPJUCPSG
PART I. America’s Recurring Nightmare: Unconstitutional Intelligence Gathering Abuses and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)
FISA’s section 702 and other components that permit and govern warrantless intelligence gathering on foreign targets located abroad were originally set to expire on December 23, 2023.
Only months prior, a fresh scandal broke that the FBI had abused the warrantless search tool yet again by weaponizing it against American citizens for their activities while on US soil.
According to the well-established doctrine of the exclusionary rule in this country, this intelligence and all subsequent evidence gathered from these illegal, warrantless searches is tainted and inadmissible.
At least that’s what any reasonable person would think, were it not for the judges in D.C. who have been subverting the rule by repeatedly allowing cases built in this way to proceed.
Per the letter of the current law, any and all incidental data gathered on American citizens anywhere in the world ought to be destroyed and unactionable, whether it was gathered “downstream,” “upstream” or anywhere in between.
Given the FBI’s practice of violating the law with impunity under the Biden DOJ, if FISA 702 were allowed to expire, how naïve do we have to be to believe that they won’t just continue to flout the law and do whatever they want?
FISA section 702 and other amendments were not allowed to sunset last December, and due to Speaker Johnson’s penchant for playing kick the can, the mass, warrantless data gathering, along with other subsections of the 2008 amendments, are set to expire on April 19.
A myriad of intelligence agencies are scheduled to descend upon Congress on Wednesday, April 10 to make their case that, despite rampant abuses that have violated the fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth and fourteenth amendment rights of American citizens en masse, their ability to gather intelligence without a warrant should be extended or even expanded.
A fly on the wall in these upcoming meetings would likely report that the IC reps employed hybrid tactics, resembling both a protection racket and blackmailoperation, to coerce Congressional members to grant their collective will. We can’t tell the future, but this is our educated hunch: the probability is high that unscrupulous proverbial arm twisting will take place.
It’s also likely that Speaker Johnson, after postponing the vote on proposed reforms and the sunset from December 23, 2023, will conduct this matter in the same disrespectful manner that he brought the minibus to the floor in March for a vote. (He only allowed 72 hours for members to read the thousand-plus page bill that spent 1.2 trillion dollars while also prohibiting any and all debate and amendments.)
So, what is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (1978,) Section 702 (2008)? You may or may not remember that the 2008 amendments codified Stellar Wind abuses that occurred during George W. Bush’s consecutive terms.
Chances are, you’re not too young to remember when former President Obama and his DOJ illegally and fraudulently abused FISA. They did so in collusion with a myriad of absurd and villainous characters, orgs and law firms which included self-described communist 1James Comey, diabolical freak show John Podesta and Hillary Clinton’s2016 campaign, to spy on then candidate Donald John Trump in a fallacious attempt to set him up as a Russian agent. Yes, that FISA.
Intelligence agencies, although not specifically described in The Constitution, are the purview of the Executive Branch (Article II, Section 2 and 3.) However, these agencies often have been caught acting as rogue entities, violating the constitutional rights of American citizens both without the knowledge of the Commander in Chief or at the direction of the Commander in Chief and his proxies.
It has been at times of such scandals and constitutional crises that Congress sought to balance the power of the Executive by instituting some legal guardrails.
This is how both FISA (1978), born out of the Church Committee hearings, and the FISA Amendments of 2008 came to be. Both are fruit of the poisonous tree as the actual effect of both laws was to codify the abuses but regulate them with a secret court (FISC).
The purpose of this article is not to delve into the specifics of these hearings and the subsequent legislation. For anyone who has read this far that is interested in the history of FISA, there are voluminous writings on this.
Many of them are not worth the time. we reviewed dozens of them so that you don’t have to. The most objective, thorough and well written is from Jeff Clark for the Center for Renewing America.
It’s true that espionage is a filthy affair. At its core, the work of spies is deception which is the devil’s business. However, a nation without “intelligence” agents, aka spies or spooks, won’t remain a nation for very long.
With that in mind, to anyone who believes that Congress intends to just allow FISA section 702 to expire, we’re happy to be the one to inform you that the earth is not flat, Nancy Pelosi is never sober (upon information and belief) and Joe Biden did not get 81 million legitimate votes.
On the other hand, the abuses of the FISA program, particularly section 702 and its betrayal of our Constitutional Republic, have become so widespread and widely known that the American electorate is demanding meaningful reforms and many of our elected officials have lost all patience with being targeted by what has always been a rouge intelligence function.
Rather than serving at the pleasure of the President who serves at the pleasure of We The People, evidence supports that US intelligence agencies serve a permanent, unelected ruling class. Our Republic cannot withstand this constant onslaught from agencies filled with Benedict Arnolds.
The current target of this country’s federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies is turned inward upon the people they have a duty to serve. Where are the FISA 702 cases against the Mexican cartels’ massive human and drug smuggling operations?
Why is the FBI failing to bring cases against the CCP’s standing army sleeper cells or the Caliphate Jihadists imported over our southern border for the past three years? In refusing to serve “the people,” the Biden Regime’s DOJ has lost all legal authority granted to them by our constitutional system. They only rule by unconstitutional fear, coercive mandate and force.
Although Republicans currently hold a small majority in the House, recent analysis portends that Speaker Johnson will again betray his Constitutional duty to the American people and fail to enable meaningful reforms that require the Biden DOJ to heel.
The best hope for relief is coming from the Democrat controlled Senate where senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) have drafted the SAFE Act. The most hawkish civil rights orgs on the left are dissatisfied with the SAFE Act but at the same time critical of the Biden Regime’s rejection of this draft.
These orgs overwhelmingly prefer the Government Surveillance Reform Act of 2023 by Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) which has bipartisan support in both houses of Congress. (Note that the Brennan Center conspicuously omits facts RE weaponization against J6 protestors, as if protesting an obviously stolen election renders them unhuman, or something.)
Regardless of what happens in Congress, Biden is unlikely to sign any reforms into law. The Daily Caller reported back in February that Biden’s DOJ has sought court approval to continue warrantless spying on American citizens until April of 2025.
According to the ACLU, FISC granted Biden’s request and they are not happy. It’s very hard to sympathize with their complaint even though they’re correct. The ACLU sits silent while the Biden Regime holds political prisoners without trial for over three years. They likely voted for him with the knowledge of Biden’s domestic spying legislation that he sponsored in the 1990’s and beyond.
These so-called “Civil Liberties” organizations took no action to challenge the obviously rigged election that installed this pathologically lying despot, who’s been on the take his entire career, into the White House. They are among many complaining now who are complicit in this unconstitutional tyranny.
In part two of this series, we will explore how Joe Biden’s legislative career demonstrates that he has only just begun to live out his long-running authoritarian dream of being a despot in the White House.
Anti-Israel protesters shut down Senate cafeteria (Image: video screenshot)
On Tuesday, an anti-Israel mob with faux-bloodied hands swarmed and shut down the cafeteria in the Dirksen Senate Office building.
The group sang and chanted, “Senate can’t eat until Gaza eats!”
Demands from the protesters include the Senate endorsing a ceasefire, the restoration of UNRWA funding, and an end to military aid to Israel.
According to Fox News, at least 50 people were arrested and removed.
The U.S. Capitol Police confirmed to Fox News that those arrested inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., were charged with Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding.
“It is illegal to demonstrate inside any of the Congressional Buildings,” Capitol Police said in a statement.
A video obtained by Fox News shows demonstrators walking through the hallways of the building, raising their hands and saying, “Children are starving in Gaza” and “People are dying in Gaza.”
At one point, according to a Fox News source, Capitol Police shouted, “Everybody out or be placed under arrest,” to which a protester replied, “This is the house of the people!”
Activists from an organization called Christians for a Free Palestine claim at least 30 of those arrested are “members of the clergy.”
Code Pink’s perennial tantrum queen and Hamas terrorist apologist, Susie Benjamin, was also front and center.
Watch:
The pro-Palestine mob has entered and shutdown the Senates cafeteria chanting ‘the Senate can’t eat until a Gaza eats!’
Will they be treated like #January6th defendants, a Marine dad or let go immediately?
“The U.S. Capitol Police confirmed…arrested inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., were charged with Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding.”https://t.co/ohyk3KeerE
USCP: Approximately 50 people were arrested for illegally demonstrating inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building this afternoon. It is illegal to demonstrate inside any of the Congressional Buildings. The charge is D.C. Code § 22–1307 – Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding
The most censored film in America, “Let My People Go” has quietly generated well over 1 million views on Rumble with dozens of small-to-medium influencer accounts uploading the film in its entirety, and has earned upwards of 8 million views across different social media platforms after the film was essentially given away by its creator, former law professor David K. Clements to combat massive censorship.
The film is still facing a media blackout, with many highly visible “Conservative Inc.” outlets ignoring what is easily the most definitive film on rigged elections and the plight of J6ers, as the film bucks establishment calls to embrace what democrats are doing. Namely, the promotion of early voting, use of mail-in ballots, and continued use of defective election machines. All of which actually help provide the metrics needed for ballot mules to stuff drop boxes with precision, and create the data points needed to refine PID controlled algorithms that have been evidenced in hundreds of cast vote record summaries, showing an impossible arrangement of votes in the machines.
Undeterred, Clements is now releasing long-form interviews with many of the experts and patriots featured in the film. Many of them recently testified in the Jeff Clark disbarment hearing, such as Col. Shawn Smith and Cyber Security expert Harry Haury. Clements hopes that the long-form interviews with nation-state-level experts will further make the case for removing machines and software that facilitate systemic election fraud.
During his full interview from “Let My People Go,” Col. Shawn Smith (ret.) broke down in detail how U.S. Election equipment vendors, from Dominion and ES&S, to Hart Intercivic, all use computers and components manufactured primarily by the Communist Chinese Party.
Smith covers how our supply chains are in a state of critical failure and addresses issues concerning early voting, mail-in ballots, and the illusion our government provides concerning testing of our voting systems.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), who happens to be a US Senator and a Doctor of Ophthalmology, released a stunning report on Tuesday where he discovered that 15 different federal agencies knew that the Wuhan laboratory in China was trying to create a COVID-19 virus and they knew this since 2018.
Not one single official or employee in these 15 agencies revealed the truth to the American public during the pandemic. They should all be fired.
In 2019 the virus escaped from the Wuhan laboratory at the same time US President Donald Trump had crippled the Chinese economy with his economic policies. The rest is history.
Dr. Tony Fauci, who funded the Wuhan laboratory for some reason, repeatedly lied to the American public about the origins of the virus.
As The Gateway Pundit reported back in May 2023, Fauci gave a $1.88 million grant and $16.5 million in NIH funding to a British scientist in January 2020 if he kept his mouth shut about the origins of the COVID-19 virus.
On January 31, 2020, Danish-born and British-educated scientist Kristian Andersen, emailed Dr. Tony Fauci saying the virus looks lab-made.
Kristian Anderson, “Some of the features look engineered” and the “genome looks inconsistent with evolutionary theory.”
Thenon February 4, 2020, after a call with Dr. Tony Fauci, British scientist Kristian Anderson wrote that the lab leak theory was a conspiracy theory.
Kristian Anderson, “The main crackpot theories going around at the moment related to this virus being somehow engineered… and that is demonstrably false.”
So what happened between January 31, 2020 and February 4, 2020?
Dr. Tony Fauci called Dr. Kristian Anderson and ordered him to publicly say the COVID virus was NOT lab-made.
The New York Times reported on Anderson’s early email to Dr. Fauci in an article published in June 2021.
Over the past year, Dr. Andersen has been one of the most outspoken proponents of the theory that the coronavirus originated from a natural spillover from an animal to humans outside of a lab. But in the email to Dr. Fauci in January 2020, Dr. Andersen hadn’t yet come to that conclusion. He told Dr. Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, that some features of the virus made him wonder whether it had been engineered, and noted that he and his colleagues were planning to investigate further by analyzing the virus’s genome.
The researchers published those results in a paper in the scientific journal Nature Medicine on March 17, 2020, concluding that a laboratory origin was very unlikely. Dr. Andersen has reiterated this point of view in interviews and on Twitter over the past year, putting him at the center of the continuing controversy over whether the virus could have leaked from a Chinese lab.
When his early email to Dr. Fauci was released, the media storm around Dr. Andersen intensified, and he deactivated his Twitter account. He answered written questions from The New York Times about the email and the fracas. The exchange has been lightly edited for length.
Dr. Anderson switched his story in 4 days after his call with Tony Fauci.
But, The New York Times conveniently omitted that after his call with Dr. Fauci on February 1, 2020, Dr. Anderson was given a $1.88 million grant and $16.5 million in funding from NIAID, Dr. Fauci’s personal piggy bank.
Dr. Andrew Huff testified to this fact back in 2022. He released this information in a legal report he signed created by the Renz Law Group.
Dr. Andrew Huff reported that Dr. Anderson’s funding at the Scripps Research Institute increased from $393,079 per month, to $800,139 per month after he backed down on the COVID lab-leak theory.
(page 56)
Now we learn from Senator Rand Paul that 15 different federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan laboratory was trying to create a coronavirus strain like COVID-19. Not one person had the guts to step forward and tell the truth to the American public.
And we all know it is likely that they will never be indicted or punished.
How vast was the Great COVID Cover-up? Well, my investigation has recently discovered government officials from 15 federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was trying to create a coronavirus like COVID-19.
These officials knew that the Chinese lab was proposing to create a COVID 19-like virus and not one of these officials revealed this scheme to the public. In fact, 15 agencies with knowledge of this project have continuously refused to release any information concerning this alarming and dangerous research.
Government officials representing at least 15 federal agencies were briefed on a project proposed by Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
This project, the DEFUSE project, proposed to insert a furin cleavage site into a coronavirus to create a novel chimeric virus that would have been shockingly similar to the COVID-19 virus.
For years, I have been fighting to obtain records from dozens of federal agencies relating to the origins of COVID-19 and the DEFUSE project. Under duress, the administration finally released documents that show that the DEFUSE project was pitched to at least 15 agencies in January 2018.
What does this mean?
It means that at least 15 federal agencies knew from the beginning of the pandemic that EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology were seeking federal funding in 2018 to create a virus genetically very similar if not identical to COVID-19.
During March Madness, the New Jersey National Guard’s 21st Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Team (WMD-CST), Delaware National Guard’s WMD-CST, and Idaho’s National Guard WMD-CST conducted a hypothetical search for domestic nuclear terrorists inside the CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton, New Jersey.
The U.S. Army reported that the New Jersey, Idaho, and Delaware National Guard participated in interagency biological, chemical, nuclear, radiological, and explosives training from March 25 to 28, during the height of college basketball’s March Madness tournament.
Guard members, FBI agents, and state law enforcement officers were given a hypothetical scenario that stated, “In just a few hours, more than 10,000 people will crowd the facility to listen to the vice president of the United States.”
The scenario continued, “The FBI has just received intelligence that a well-resourced domestic terrorist group has planted bombs, including one with cesium-137 – a radioactive isotope –in the arena.”
After being given the domestic terroristic scenario, Guard members were commanded to search for the nuclear bomb inside the stadium that seats over 8,000 people.
AS THE NCAA finishes up March Madness, another type of madness is unfolding as the U.S. military retools its weapons of mass destruction response apparatus to focus not on attacks by familiar foreign terror groups like Al Qaeda or ISIS, but by American citizens.
Late last month, for the first time ever, the National Guard conducted an exercise simulating a frantic search for a nuclear dirty bomb at a basketball and hockey arena in Trenton, New Jersey. What made the exercise different from hundreds of such similar war games held since 9/11 is that purely domestic terrorists were identified as the perpetrators.
“The FBI has just received intelligence that a well-resourced domestic terrorist group has planted bombs, including one with cesium-137 — a radioactive isotope — in the arena,” the military said about the scenario for the exercise. “The clock is ticking.”
The CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton is a multipurpose facility able to seat 8,000. The arena aims to attract more college basketball matches, having hosted Princeton vs. Rutgers in November.
The New Jersey, Delaware and Idaho National Guard participated in interagency chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives training with the FBI and state and local law enforcement March 25-28.
New ‘nondiscrimination’ rule takes aim about ministries’ employees
“Nondiscrimination” schemes under the Joe Biden regime in Washington often have been used to advocate for blatant discrimination against Christians and Christian organizations.
One such situation recently developed when Democrats in Colorado insisted they could force a web designer to promote same-sex weddings if she provided any services to couples getting married.
The Supreme Court slapped down the state for violating the Constitution in its leftist agenda.
But those issues have developed over and over, and now it involves the State Department, which is proposing a new “nondiscrimination” demand that could affect the employment decisions of Christian ministries.
So officials with Samaritan’s Purse, the Christian Legal Society, the Accord Network and other ministries have written to the State Department protesting the agency’s plans.
The new proposal would ban discrimination against beneficiaries of programs that are sometimes given grants by the government “on specified bases.”
But then the State Department bureaucrats also want to demand that those organizations providing benefits on a nondiscriminatory basis also hire employees on a nondiscriminatory basis.
The ministries in a letter to State explain that they “affirm” the idea of not discriminating against any benefit “recipient.”
But the problem is the rules as planned by State threaten their right to hire employees they choose, and possibly could force them to stop partnering with the government on aid programs.
It’s not a small problem, they explain. “To illustrate the full extent of the potential loss of foreign assistance of USAID’s top 50 largest foreign assistance recipients, religious organizations comprise $613 million in obligated agency funding in FY ’23. They have worked in over 100 countries programming in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), displaced persons and refugee support, countertrafficking, and strengthening of civil society structures like health care and justice systems.”
The aid organizations explain that the rule needs to provide that their religious character, affiliation, practices, and expressions of religious beliefs “will not preclude” them from participating in various programs.
They cite the Constitution, the religion clauses of the First Amendment, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and more to explain that the laws of the land require nondiscrimination rules to provide “overriding protection for religious freedom.”
Without a provision for religious rights, the organizations told State, the proposed rules are “arbitrary and capricious” for failing “to consider a reasonable alternative, specifically, categorical exemption of religious organizations applying for foreign assistance grants and federal acquisition contracts…”
Without changes, the groups warn the Biden administration, “the regulations will infringe statutory and constitutional rights, frustrate the regulations’ stated purpose, impede the delivery of foreign assistance, threaten the U.S. government’s foreign policy objectives, foment expensive litigation and result in the unintended exclusion of religious organizations from being applicants and offerors for the department’s grants and contracts.”
Online, there’s a petition procedure for people to sign up to agree with the comments: “I strongly oppose the U.S. State Department’s consideration of new regulations that will cut off grants and contracts to Christian – and all faith-based – relief organizations that require their employees to share their faith and their religious values.”
The charge to the government came from the Accord Network, Samaritan’s Purse, Christian Legal Society, and the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and others.
Specifically, the government is warned that there are such things as religious rights protected by the Constitution and the proposal would “not allow [faith-based organizations] to consider sexual orientation and gender identity or expression in the hiring process in order to remain eligible for foreign aid funding.”
The ERLC explained, “Hiring staff members that reflect the religious beliefs of an organization is a long-standing pillar of religious liberty protections.”
Franklin Graham, who heads Samaritan’s Purse, added, “These proposed State Department regulations could be used to force faith-based organizations like Samaritan’s Purse to hire staff who disagree with our core biblical beliefs about God’s design for marriage, sexuality, and gender in order to be eligible for government grants.”
He continued, “Samaritan’s Purse is a Christian organization and we will not compromise on the fundamental principle of hiring like-minded Christians who share our calling, our stand on the authority of God’s Word, and our statement of faith.”
The groups explain in their letter to the government there needs to be a “categorical exemption” from religious belief requirements in the process.
The State Department’s new chief diversity and inclusion officer, Zakiya Carr Johnson
Last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the appointment of Zakiya Carr Johnson as the State Department’s chief diversity and inclusion officer.
Carr Johnson has previously called America a “failed historic model” and demanded the destruction of traditional structure “at every juncture.”
Blinken touted Carr Johnson’s prior experience as a senior adviser to Barack Obama and director of the first Race, Ethnicity, and Social Inclusion Unit at the State Department.
“Her previous work promoting entrepreneurship and access to opportunity for underrepresented populations, as well as her commitment to inclusive leadership, make us stronger, smarter, and more innovative,” he said.
Fox News reports that Carr Johnson’s prior experience includes ” running two relatively obscure companies – Odara Solutions, a DEI consulting firm, and Black Women Disrupt, an initiative in which Carr Johnson interviewed Black women involved in creative spaces around the world. Its YouTube channel had 125 subscribers.”
“In those board rooms, in the tight knit working group, in the advocacy and activist spaces and in grand bureaucracies, there are mechanisms and cultures which dispute the humanity and ability of people like me to be trusted to lead. This happens, not because we are unprepared or unwilling, but because the rules created in our organizations and baked into their very foundations, are often riddled with racism, patriarchy and exclusion. These are chinks in the armor of traditional leadership that refuse to reconcile with a colonizing past, or recognize that time has run out for experimentation and tweaking of a failed historic model.”
Carr Johnson has also complained that “female-directed” initiatives have a downside….too many White women are able to advance.
In another Facebook post, Carr Johnson’s Odara Solutions complained that female-directed diversity initiatives allow too many White women to advance, purportedly “at the expense of women of color.”
This idea was reiterated in a June 2020 letter Carr Johnson signed with Fair Share which outlined a series of antiracist commitments.
“We strongly believe that feminist leadership must be anti-racist in order to transform our societies. Today we call for… long-term transformation… We will do our part to uplift and amplify feminist leaders of colour, counter White-centered feminism trends and narratives, and share Black and Brown feminists’ wisdom and recommendations,” it said.

By Ben Weingarten, RealClearInvestigations
Real Clear Wire
Progressives are using legal loopholes and the power of the federal government to maximize Democrat votes in the 2024 election at taxpayers’ expense, RealClearInvestigations has found.
The methods include voter registration and mobilization campaigns by ostensibly nonpartisan charities that target Democrats using demographic data as proxies, and the Biden administration’s unprecedented demand that every federal agency “consider ways to expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process.”
A dizzying array of overwhelmingly “democracy-focused” entities with ties to the Democratic Party operating as charities and funded with hundreds of millions of dollars from major liberal “dark money” vehicles are engaged in a sprawling campaign to register the voters, deliver them the ballots, and figuratively and sometimes literally harvest the votes necessary to defeat Donald Trump.
These efforts, now buttressed by the federal government, amplify and extend what Time magazine described as a “well-funded cabal of powerful people ranging across industries and ideologies,” who had worked behind the scenes in 2020 “to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information” to defeat Trump and other Republicans. The “shadow campaigners,” Time declared, “were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.”
Heading into 2024, “there is not a ‘shadow’ campaign,” said Mike Howell, executive director of the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project. “There is an overt assault on President Trump and those who wish to vote for him occurring at every level of government and with the support of all major institutions.”
By contrast, Republican Party stalwarts lament that no comparable effort exists on their side. The GOP’s turnout and messaging efforts seek to thread a difficult needle by encouraging early and absentee voting and ballot-harvesting – pandemic-era measures that Trump and supporters blame for his 2020 electoral defeat – while the party simultaneously fights the mainly blue-state laws that made the practices possible. The party’s position is further complicated by its standard-bearer’s warnings of a rigged election bigger than in 2020, which some speculate could turn off moderate swing voters.
Electioneering ‘Super-Weapons’
The IRSpermits tax-exempt nonprofit groups to engage in voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives so long as they do not “refer to any candidate or political party” nor conduct their activities “in a biased manner that favors (or opposes) one or more candidates prohibited.”
These entities have become magnets for funds not only from wealthy donors, who can contribute without traditional campaign finance limits – and get a tax break to boot – but also abundantly endowed private foundations that are prohibited from engaging in partisan activities.
In recent years, dozens of progressive-oriented 501(c)(3)s, now pulling in upwards of $500 million annually, have engaged in purportedly neutral efforts to impact elections, according to Hayden Ludwig, director of Policy Research at the election integrity-focused advocacy group, Restoration of America.
In practice, critics like Ludwig argue, left-leaning charities flout the law by registering and mobilizing demographics that tend to vote disproportionately Democratic behind a veil of non-partisan democracy promotion.
During the 2020 election, for example, the Voter Participation Center solicited millions of ballot applications in swing states – many of them prefilled for respondents. This nonprofit, like its peers, is clear that it isn’t targeting just any voters, but what it and progressive activists have dubbed a “New American Majority” of “young people, people of color and unmarried women.”
Tom Lopach, a longtime Democratic Party operative and the center’s president and CEO, told RCI in a statement: “We do the work that state election officials typically do not do – seeking out underrepresented voting-eligible Americans Tom Lopach … This is difficult but necessary work that brings democracy to eligible Americans’ doorsteps.”
In 2020, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan showed how supposedly neutral efforts can have a partisan impact when they funneled some $400 million through two progressive–led but purportedly nonpartisan nonprofits into election offices across the country.
That money disproportionately went to jurisdictions that Joe Biden won in the pivotal battleground states that delivered his victory, often flowing to left-leaning nonprofits to whom election offices outsourced the administration of sometimes critical functions.
In April 2022, a primary conduit of these so-called “Zuckerbucks,” the Center for Tech and Civic Life, announced the launch of a successor to the 2020 effort – the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, a five-year $80 million program “to envision, support, and celebrate excellence in U.S. election administration.”
“The left has assembled an impressive ‘election-industrial’ complex of non-profit organizations that is constantly working towards goals like ‘promoting participation’ targeting ‘underrepresented minorities,’” said Jason Snead, executive director of the conservative Honest Elections Project. Such terms, Snead says, “are code for identifying and mobilizing liberal voters.”
Election experts view such activities as potentially decisive.
“‘Nonpartisan’ and ‘charitable’ voter registration and get-out-the-vote groups” are the Democratic Party’s “electioneering super-weapon[s],” said Parker Thayer, an analyst with the conservative-oriented Capital Research Center in Washington, D.C.
Born of a plan “commissioned by [Hillary] Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, funded by the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, and coordinated with cut-throat Democratic consultants,” Thayer writes in an extensive analysis of the group’s efforts, “the Everybody Votes campaign [has] used the guise of civic-minded charity to selectively register millions of ‘non-white’ swing-state voters in the hopes of getting out the Democratic vote.”
It does so by funding and training over 50 community groups to register voters to close “the voter registration gap in communities of color,” which it attributes to “modern forms of Jim Crow laws,” such as voter ID requirements, the group’s executive director, Nellie Sires, said in a January 2024 interview.
From 2016-2021, the Everybody Votes Campaign, doing business as three entities, collected over $190 million from major Democratic Party donors, unions, and environmental activists. Some of the largest donors include the League of Conservation Voters Education Fund; the New Venture and Hopewell Funds, managed by for-profit consulting firm Arabella Advisors; and the George Soros-funded Foundation to Promote Open Society – all 501(c)(3) public charities or private foundations forbidden from supporting “voter education or registration activities with evidence of bias.”
The Everybody Votes Campaign distributed the funds to a slew of left-leaning state-based voter registration organizations largely in eight pivotal states from 2016 to 2019 – Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, and Nevada – and then to Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin in 2021.
According to Thayer’s analysis, the Everybody Votes Campaign’s voter registration push “would have provided Democrats more votes than the total margins of victory in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania,” securing Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
‘4 to 10 Times More Cost-Effective’
One notable backer of the Everybody Votes Campaign is Mind the Gap, a “Moneyball-style” Silicon Valley Democratic Super PAC founded by Stanford law professor Barbara Fried, and connected to the political activities of her convicted crypto-fraudster son, Sam Bankman-Fried.
The analytics-focused outfit prepared a confidential strategy memo leaked in advance of the 2020 election, noting that “501(c)(3) voter registration focused on underrepresented groups in the electorate” would be the “single most effective tactic for ensuring Democratic victories” – “4 to 10 times more cost-effective” on after-tax basis at “garnering additional Democratic votes” relative to alternatives like “broadcast media and digital buys.”
Mind the Gap recommended that donors contribute to three organizations: the Voter Participation Center and its sister organization, the Center for Voter Information for mail-based registration efforts, and Everybody Votes for site-based registration efforts.
The largest grant recipient, receiving $24 million during the 2016-21 period, was State Voices, which describes itself as a “nonpartisan network of 25 state-based coalitions … that collectively partner with over 1,200 organizations” consisting of “advocates, organizers, and activists … work[ing] together to fight for a healthy democracy and political power for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI), and all people of color (BIPOC).”
Another top recipient, raking in over $10 million, was the Voter Participation Center.
According to the Capital Research Center, the Everybody Votes Campaign would collect and spend over $50 million in connection with the 2022 midterm elections – the most recent period for which financials are available. All told, since its founding in 2015, the Campaign says, its network has registered 5.1 million voters, of whom 76% are people of color; 56% are women; and 47% are under the age of 35.
Last November, the news outlet Puck reported on a secret memo circulated by Mind the Gap regarding its plans for 2024. “Our strategy early in the 2024 presidential race will be to massively scale high-performing voter registration and mobilization programs,” the memo read. The PAC again specifically directed donors to the Everybody Votes Campaign, which did not respond to requests for comment.
Lopach, who has worked in Democratic Party politics his entire career, bristled at RCI’s questions regarding critics’ claims of a partisan bent to its work. “The presumptions baked into the questions … emailed to us are inaccurate and reveal the reporter’s own biases,” he responded, while emphasizing the organization’s targeting of “underrepresented voting-eligible Americans.”
Thayer has dubbed Everybody Votes the “largest and most corrupt ‘charitable’ voter registration drive in American history.”
Of such organizations’ claims of nonpartisanship, Howell told RCI: “If they were truly interested in an informed participatory constitutional Republic, they would have an even-handed approach to registering voters.”
“Call me when they show up to a NASCAR race, Daughters of the American Revolution event, or a gun show,” Howell added. “Then we can pretend for a minute that these are beyond just facial efforts to appear somewhat neutral.”
Challenges for GOP
But NASCAR races have not been hubs for GOP-led voter registration efforts either. Restoration of America’s Ludwig estimates that the right may spend as little as 1% of what the left spends on voter registration efforts.
A recent memo from the Sentinel Action Fund, a super PAC that aims to elect conservatives, noted that in the 2022 election cycle, while $8.9 billion was spent on federal elections, there were zero large independent expenditure organizations on the right focused on get-out-the-vote efforts or “ballot chasing.”
Republican Partyvehicles and conservative outfits like grassroots-oriented Turning Point Action, a 501(c)(4), are engaged in such efforts in the 2024 cycle, but the scale and sophistication of their political counterparts’ efforts would appear unrivaled at this point.
Election experts attribute this gap to several factors beyond the GOP’s focus on other tactics to win elections, or ineffectiveness. They note that Democratic voters tend to be more concentrated in urban areas and college campuses, making it easier to run efficient registration drives. As regards early and absentee voting and ballot harvesting, it is not clear if these efforts will substantially grow the pool of Republican voters versus merely enabling the party to “bank” votes earlier.
With respect to the use of 501(c)(3)s to conduct such activities, Ludwig said some conservatives may still be fearful of running afoul of the IRS – through exploiting tax laws to pursue efforts perceived to be partisan effectively on the taxpayers’ dime – in the wake of its targeting of Tea Party groups for extreme scrutiny during the Obama years.
‘Bidenbucks’: ‘Zuckerbucks’ on Steroids
Since the 2020 election, Democrats have opened a second apparent electioneering front that Republicans could not match even if they wanted to: The rise of so-called “Bidenbucks,” which uses the “unlimited funding, resources, and reach” of the federal government and agency offices located nationwide,” to turn out favored voters, according to Stewart Whitson, legal director of the conservative Foundation for Government Accountability.
In March 2021, President Biden introduced Executive Order 14019. The directive on “promoting access to voting” orders every federal agency, more than 600 in all, to register and mobilize voters – particularly “people of color” and others the White House says face “challenges to exercise their fundamental right to vote.” It further directs the agencies to collaborate with ostensibly nonpartisan nonprofits in pursuit of its goals.
As RCI has previously reported, EO 14019 appears to have been designed by left-leaning think tank Demos and implemented in consultation and sometimes coordination with a slew of progressive, labor, and identity-focused groups with the goal of generating up to 3.5 million new or updated voter registrations annually.
The ACLU and Demos have reportedly helped execute the order. RCI additionally found that at least two recipients of grants under the Everybody Votes Campaign, the NAACP and UnidosUS – formerly the National Council of Raza – were also listed on an email as participants in a July 2021 listening session on the executive order convened by the White House and agency officials.
Whitson, whose organization unearthed that email in its fight to expose details about the order, emphasized that “[U]nlike 2020 wherein the shadow campaign was conducted by private citizens seeking to influence government election operations from the outside, the threat we face in 2024 is being launched from within the government itself.”
Facing both congressional scrutiny and litigation, the administration has closely guarded the strategic plans agencies were to develop to carry out the order, how they are implementing them, to what end, and with whom.
Perfunctory press releases, reports from groups supportive of the order, and documents slowly ferreted out via FOIA requests and litigation, however, demonstrate that relevant agencies have sought to drive voter registration via public housing authorities, child nutrition programs, and voluntary tax preparation clinics.
In August 2023, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued updated guidance calling for the agency to register voters at naturalization ceremonies.
More recently, the Department of Education did the same, blessing the use of federal work-study funds to pay students for “supporting broad-based get-out-the-vote activities, voter registration,” and other activities. Scott Walter, president of the Capital Research Center, recently told the Epoch Times that the Department had previously threatened schools “that you better be registering students or you could lose your federal funds.”
When asked by RCI to respond to Walter’s claim, the Department of Education would not. Over two dozen Pennsylvania state legislators challenged the order via a lawsuit in January. Citing alleged unlawful attempts by several agencies to register Keystone state voters, the lawmakers asserted:
“By engaging in a targeted voter registration effort of this magnitude, focused specifically on these agencies and the groups of potential voters they interact with, leveraging the resources and reach of the federal government, this effort appears to be a taxpayer-funded get-out-the-vote effort designed to benefit the current President’s political party.”
Echoing this view, Whitson’s Foundation for Government Accountability submitted an amicus briefnoting that “all of the federal agencies FGA has identified as taking active steps to carry out EO 14019 have one thing in common: They provide government welfare benefits and other services to groups of voters the vast majority of which have historically voted Democrat.”
The plaintiffs alleged the executive order violated both Pennsylvania law limiting voter registration efforts to non-federal actors, and constitutional provisions reserving election laws to the states. On March 26, a district court dismissed the case, claiming the plaintiffs lacked standing. Whitson told RCI that others would likely lodge similar lawsuits, building on the Pennsylvania legislators’ case in the wake of the dismissal. Days later, The Federalist reported that the plaintiffs intended to appeal their case to the U.S. Supreme Court. A White House spokesperson did not reply to RCI’s inquiries regarding the executive order.
Opposition and Circumvention
Republicans have had more success opposing the use of Zuckerbucks and other private monies used to finance public elections. More than two dozen states would move to ban or restrict such grants in response to the activities observed during the 2020 election.
Most recently, Wisconsin, where some of the most controversial Zuckerbucks-related efforts took place, was added to that list when, on April 2, voters approved a constitutional amendment barring the private funding of elections.
Despite this crackdown and the feds seemingly stepping into the breach, efforts to privately finance election administration persist. The U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence bills itself as an initiative to bolster “woefully unsupported” election offices to “revitalize American democracy.”
The organization says it services jurisdictions – 11 listed on its website, ranging across states from Arizona to California and Wisconsin – with “training, mentorship, and resources.” Alliance officials did not respond to RCI’s inquiry about whether it would be terminating the relationship with the city of Madison, Wisconsin., in light of the passage of the recent ballot measure that would seem to have barred it. Nor did it respond to RCI’s other inquiries in connection with this article.
Most of these partnerships were initiated with jurisdictions in states that have not banned Zuckerbucks, though it has sought to circumvent such prohibitions in Georgia and Utah. The stated goal of the Alliance for Election Excellence is to support voters via measures like assisting participating centers in “redesigning” forms to make them more intuitive and purchasing infrastructure “to improve election security and accessibility.”
Alliance launch partners include entities such as:
The Center for Civic Design, which works with election offices “using research, design, accessibility, and plain language to remove barriers in the voter journey and invite participation in democracy;”
The Elections Group, to “implement new programs or improve processes for voters and stakeholders”; and
The Center for Secure and Modern Elections to “modernize the voting system, making elections more efficient and secure.”
Critics argue this seemingly more modest effort is, in reality, an ambitious Zuckerbucks rebrand.
Snead’s Honest Elections Project published a report in April 2023, based in part on documents received from FOIA requests, indicating “that the Alliance is a reinvention of CTCL’s scheme to use private funding to strongarm election policy nationwide.”
Among other takeaways, it found that:
The Alliance offers services that touch every aspect of election administration, ranging from “legal” and “political” consultation to public relations, guidance, and assistance with recruitment and training.
The Alliance is gathering detailed information on the inner workings of participating election offices and developing “improvement plans” to reshape the way they operate.
The report shows that many of the alliance’s launch partners, starting with the Center for Tech and Civic Life and the Center for Civic Design, are funded by major Democrat-tied, so-called “dark money” groups such as the Democracy Fund and Arabella Advisors’ New Venture Fund and Hopewell Fund.
The Democracy Fund is led by Democrat tech billionaire Pierre Omidyar, which has granted some $275 million to like-minded organizations from publications like Mother Jones and ProPublica to the Voter Registration Project since its founding.
The District of Columbia recently closed a criminal investigation into Arabella, whose fund network reportedly spent nearly $1.2 billion in 2020 alone, after probing it over allegations its fundswere pursuing political ends in violation of their tax-exempt statuses. The Center for Secure and Modern Elections, the Honest Elections Project says, pushes “left-wing priorities like automatic voter registration” and is run by the New Venture Fund. The Elections Group’s CEO and co-founder, Jennifer Morrell, previously served as a consultant at the Democracy Fund.
The Capital Research Center’s Walter uses a football analogy to explain why he sees these efforts as untoward. He told RCI:
“Election offices are the refs in elections; the parties are teams trying to score. You’d be puzzled if you heard Super Bowl refs say they’re trying to boost points scored. You’d be outraged if you learned those refs had received money and training from people who previously worked for one team’s offensive coaching staff. That’s what left-wing political operatives, using left-wing money, are doing, and it’s clearly unfair.”
Non-Trump Lawfare
Democrat-aligned groups continue to engage in litigation, like that brought by chief election lawyer Marc Elias, aimed at loosening election laws to their benefit. Snead told RCI, “There are more than 70 active lawsuits right now targeting voter ID laws, anti-ballot harvesting laws, signature verification, drop box regulations, and more.”
After securing victory in a lawsuit requiring signature verification for mail voting in Pennsylvania, the RNC touted its engagement as well in 81 election integrity cases this cycle. Swing-state Wisconsin is another major battleground for such efforts.
There, Elias’ legal team has challenged witness signature requirements and bans on election clerks filling address information on mail-in ballots. It and others are also working to overturn a state Supreme Court decision finding drop boxes illegal. The Badger State’s now liberal-majority Supreme Court announced in March it would take up the case.
Cutting against these efforts are not only the state’s citizen-approved Zuckerbucks ban, but another Badger-passed April 2 ballot measure amending the state’s constitution to prohibit those other than “an election official designated by law” from carrying out election-related tasks.
Watchdogs like Howell are concerned that left-leaning electioneers and lawfare forces collectively are pursuing an “election ‘dis-integrity’ strategy … to greatly expand the universe of ballots while limiting any ability to ensure that they are fairly cast and counted.”
“It’s a basic recipe for fraud.”
Elias says those seeking to combat such efforts are engaged in “voter suppression and election subversion.”
Democrats also have the federal government working on their side on the litigation front – and in ways extending beyond the veritable lawfare barrage the Biden Justice Department has leveled at Donald Trump.
Speaking in Selma, Ala., on the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, the 1965 police assault on civil rights marchers, Attorney General Merrick Garland declared that “the right to vote is still under attack.”
Garland vowed the Department of Justice was punching back, including “challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements.”

The House of Representatives is finalizing a bill to continue their FISA warrantless spying on American citizens.
It appears the House is ready to pass this forward — even after the federal government was caught illegally spying on President Trump – and got away with it!
Rep. Thomas Massie reported on Monday that Congress gave itself a carve out in the reauthorization of the FISA 702 warrantless spying bill.
The FBI will have to notify Congress and seek consent before violating the privacy of a member of Congress.
But the rest of America is on its own. The FBI can abuse your rights at anytime.
Rep. Thomas Massie reported that Congress gave its members a special carve out in the latest version of the FISA bill.
From the proposed legislation:
Requirement: The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall promptly notify appropriate congressional leadership of any query conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation using a query term that is reasonably believed to be the name or other personally identifying information of a member of Congress, and shall also notify the member who is the suject of such query.

The bill requires the FBI to notify and seek consent from Congress before violating the privacy of Congressmen.
This is a brazen lie. Biden never taught a single class and there was never a ban on cannon ownership.
Joe Biden is a legend in his own mind. He was paid $1 million by UPenn but he never taught a single class.
Biden was never a “professor” or teacher after serving as Vice President in 2017. He was paid to give a few speeches (typical career politician/DC grifter) but he never taught a class.
The cannon argument has been repeatedly debunked.
According to historians, there is not one example of a law banning private ownership of cannons.
Biden got four Pinocchio’s by Washington Post fact-checkers for his lie about cannon ownership.
Biden’s false claim that the 2nd Amendment bans cannon ownership
Joe Biden indicated in a recent interview that his regime is assessing the extent of his executive powers to potentially close the United States’ southern border with Mexico, “should it be deemed necessary,” Reuters reported.
Joe Biden suggested that without legislative support, he might resort to executive action, stating, “We’re examining whether or not I have that power.” He claimed there was “no guarantee” he has the power without legislation.
“There’s no guarantee that I have that power all by myself without legislation. And some have suggested I should just go ahead and try it. And if I get shut down by the court, I get shut down by the court. But we’re trying to work that, work through that right now.”
In an earlier statement on January 26, President Biden acknowledged the need for enhanced presidential powers to manage the border crisis, saying, “The border security bill “would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed.”
Biden, addressing reporters on January 30, expressed his exasperation with the legislative roadblocks: “I’ve done all I can do. Just give me the power I’ve asked from the very day I got into office. Give me the Border Patrol, the judges, the people who can stop this and make it work right.”
However, Mike Johnson challenged Biden’s claims, emphasizing that the President already possesses the necessary authority.
“I told President Biden this myself on multiple occasions, most recently a couple of weeks ago on the phone. I read him the law that says that he has all this authority, but he refuses to act.”

Former President Donald Trump weighed in on the controversy, touting his administration’s record on border security: “A Border Bill is not necessary to stop the millions of people… that are POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY. I had the safest and most secure Border in U.S. History. I didn’t need a ‘Bill!’”
During Biden’s tenure (2021-2023), the United States has witnessed an unprecedented number of migrant encounters, with over 8 million nationwide and 6.7 million at the Southwest border. Additionally, more than 1.7 million “gotaways” are believed to be residing in the country undocumented, raising concerns about national security.
The total number of illegal immigrants who have entered through our Southern Border is greater than the population of 36 states. These states include:
Alabama
Alaska
Arkansas
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Idaho
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine

The President is facing increasing pressure as the November elections approach. Critics have accused him of neglecting the border situation, with some suggesting the regime’s delayed response was aimed at securing votes in future elections.
In under two minutes, it lists nine ways how Democrats plan to achieve this:
Flood the country with untold millions of illegals by land, sea, and air from all over the world, enough to eclipse the populations of 36 individual U.S. states so far.
Prioritize the needs of these millions of non-citizens over the needs of American citizens with free flights, busses, hotels, meals and phones, ensuring their loyalty to the political party that imported them.
Keep them in the country at all costs, even when they commit violent crimes like murder or rape. Attack the language used to describe the criminals as opposed to the criminals themselves. Slander critics as racist.
Ensure their privileges are made irreversible with city and state sanctuary laws that act as population magnets. Codify permanent status and ensure non-cooperation with ICE.
Count the non-citizens in the census that will determine congressional apportionment in the House of Representatives. As of now, they would equal 13 extra Congressional districts, a tremendous amount of electoral power.
Launch a massive, heavily funded lawfare campaign to change state voting laws that legalize mass mail-in ballots. No signature verification or proof of citizenship requirements, making it almost impossible to prove voter fraud.
Lock in the permanent voting majority with campaign promises of lavish benefits and permanent privileges, enshrining generational fealty to the Democrat Party.
Win elections.
Entrenched single-party rule has been achieved.
Musk explained in his own words how Democrats weaponize illegal immigration after the Senate had unanimously voted down an amendment to stop illegal aliens from being counted in apportionment for congressional districts and the Electoral College.
Since illegals are mostly in Democrat states, both the House and the Presidential vote are shifted ~5% to the left, which is enough to change the entire balance of power,” he said at the time. “This is a major reason why the Biden administration is ushering in record levels of illegals and doing so few deportations.”
Jamie Dimon steered JPMorgan through a difficult last year, with the largest American bank involved in a string of lawsuits regarding its long-standing commercial relationship with the late convicted sex offender, alleged pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
But JPMorgan settled with the plaintiff victims, with the US Virgin Islands government, and Dimon led the financial institution to be most profitable in 2023, even acquiring troubled First National bank.
At the other side of the PR shitstorm, CEO Dimon has again taken to the forefront of economic policy discussions – and he hasn’t shied away from discussing the vital energy sector.
Dimon now says that US delays of liquefied natural gas projects were done ‘for political reasons’.
According to him, Biden means to cater to those who believe oil and gas projects should be stopped altogether — a position that he calls ‘wrong’ and ‘enormously naïve’.
“The head of JPMorgan Chase & Co. made the comments Monday in his annual shareholder letter, in which he touted replacing coal with natural gas as one of the best ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions for the next few decades. Dimon also called LNG exports a ‘great economic boon’ for the US as well as a ‘realpolitik goal’.
‘Our allied nations that need secure and affordable energy resources, including critical nations like Japan, Korea and most of our European allies, would like to be able to depend on the United States for energy’, the chairman and chief executive officer said in his letter.”
Dimon’s manifestation of support for US LNG exports is in direct contrast with Joe Biden’s freeze of all permits that was imposed in January.
The freeze prevents new approvals for LNG projects pending further study of the impact of further natural gas exploration, both economic and environmental.
“The strength of the US’ domestic energy production is a ‘power advantage’ for the nation, creating cheaper and more reliable energy for economic and geopolitical advantages, Dimon said.”
In his shareholder letter, Dimon discusses many other aspects of the American and Global economy, such as his view regarding a chilly scenario with interest rates climbing as high as 8%, as the effects of the unprecedented monetary policy taken to combat inflation take hold.
“The odds of a goldilocks soft landing outcome for the economy are ‘a lot lower’ than the consensus of a 70% to 80% likelihood.
[…] Coupled with Dimon’s concerns about the potential for ‘stagflation’, a recession characterized by lingering high inflation, he warned interest rates could soar to ‘8% or even more’, a far cry from the already 22-year high rates of over 5% and going against conventional wisdom of a looming decline in rates.”
Persistent inflationary pressures would include global military conflicts and the effects of the crazy money-printing from central banks worldwide coming out of COVID-19 lockdowns.
“The billionaire Dimon also warned about the potential for carnage for both equity and debt investors should a higher-rate scenario play out, noting stock valuations are already at their ‘high end’ and credit conditions are ‘extremely tight’.”

Former President Donald Trump speaks on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” (Fox News screen shot)
By Wayne Allyn Root
The liberal media is outraged at President Trump. AGAIN.
Trump pointed out that Jews who vote Democrat are voting against their own self-interest- and it makes no sense. That’s like the police chief in Casablanca being shocked there’s gambling in that casino!
I am a Jewish American. I’m also a Republican-conservative, MAGA, America-First, Trump warrior and patriot. I’m “all in” for President Trump. We either elect Trump on November 5th, or both America and Israel face unprecedented danger and decline.
I understand that. Far too many of my fellow Jews do not.
Just 48 hours ago, I was honored to interview my great friend President Donald J. Trump for the 15th time. It’s a reflection of our special relationship. We are “a mutual admiration society.” I appreciate what President Trump has done for America, American exceptionalism, capitalism, peace and prosperity, border security and of course, his unrivaled support for America’s best friend and ally, Israel.
And in return, I believe President Trump appreciates my loyalty, unwavering support and fiery defense of him and his record of accomplishments.
President Trump and I enjoyed another of our always controversial interviews on my television show, “The ROOT Reaction” airing weeknights on Real America’s Voice TV Network.
Sadly, raw truth is considered “controversial” nowadays.
Trump introduced me recently at a rally by saying, “My good friend and TV/radio host Wayne Allyn Root always gets me in trouble. In every interview with Wayne, I wind up in trouble.”
Oops. We did it again.
In our latest interview we covered a lot of ground about the massive lies and propaganda of the Biden administration about the economy, jobs, inflation and open borders. We discussed Trump’s latest decision about the controversial topic of abortion. We discussed Biden getting us into World War 3 on multiple fronts. You can watch here:
The media conveniently forgot to mention that President Trump was talking to a Jewish-American television and radio host (me) who agreed 100% with every word he said. That’s crucial context to leave out. I’d call it fraud and misrepresentation.
Here are my two cents.
First, it’s absurd for ultra-leftist Jews to act offended when President Trump accuses them of being far too leftist. Instead, they should say, “I resemble that remark.” Because it’s 100% true.
Second, no one can ever accuse me of being a detractor of the Jewish people. I am proud of my race. I praise the amazing traits of my Jewish people often on my radio and TV shows, and in many of my 16 books. I have pointed out the reason Jews are among the most successful people to ever set foot on earth is because of their brilliance, unmatched work ethic, relentless mindset, and the importance they place on education and family.
That is why such a high percentage of Jews in America are business owners, professionals and community leaders. Jews are the best and brightest of America. Jews have EARNED their success.
But there is one thing I don’t condone or defend- the radical leftist politics of so many Jews.
Like President Trump, I’ll never understand it. It makes zero sense. The truth is, when it comes to politics, the most brilliant people in the world are clueless and self-destructive.
Jews who vote Democrat are voting alongside people who hate Israel and want to wipe out the Jewish people. Or haven’t you heard “from the river to the sea” chants in protests across America? These are exclusively Democrat voters who want to murder Jews.
Jews who vote Democrat are voting for politicians who punish hard work, discipline, sacrifice, education, job creators and financial risk-takers, while rewarding welfare and crime.
Jews who vote Democrat are voting for open borders and welcoming in all the criminals, gang bangers and terrorists of the world- who will terrorize, rob, rape and murder good law-abiding Americans (like Jews).
Millions of these people Democrats welcome in are Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic extremists who come to America to do harm specifically to Jews. How do Jews not understand the disaster of open border policies?
Jews who vote Democrat vote for politicians and judges who see violent criminals as “victims” and let them out on the street with crazy “no bail” policies. How is that good for decent, law-abiding families (like Jews)?
Jews who vote for Democrats are supporting socialist and communist policies. Have they studied history? Socialist and communist societies always scapegoat and persecute successful people- who are in large numbers Jews.
Or don’t Jews know Hitler and the Nazis were “the National Socialist Party.”
Or don’t Jews know the communist Soviet Union persecuted Jews. Why did Jews flee the Soviet Union for Israel and America, if things were so good for Jews in a communist country?
Jews who vote Democrat are voting for DEI- which lets unqualified candidates get college admission, jobs and promotions based only on their race, while qualified Jews are passed over.
Jews who vote Democrat often cite a “woman’s right to choose” and chant “my body, my choice,” but they supported Biden and Democrat Governors’ mandates forcing dangerous, deadly, untested, experimental vaccines into our bodies in violation of the Nuremberg Code.
Jews who vote Democrat are supporting this current administration’s weaponization of government, false arrests of political opponents, and massive censorship and silencing of the opposition. Don’t they see this is all straight from the Nazi and Soviet playbook? Eventually this will all be aimed at the Jews.
To sum it up, this Jew loves Trump AND the Jewish people.
But Trump is right. It makes no sense for any Jew to vote Democrat. Jews who vote Democrat are self-destructive and voting against their own best interests.
Trump is 100% right- again.

The political persecution under the Biden regime has only gotten worse as the days of the administration are winding down. Recently, an undercover exposé from journalists at Sound Investigations uncovered some SHOCKING revelations about the intelligence agencies’ disposition when it comes to going after their opposition.
Less than a year after he was released from jail, former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg is heading back.
Weisselberg was sentenced Wednesday to five months in New York City’s Rikers Island jail complex, in line with a plea agreement reached with prosecutors over perjury he committed in a 2023 civil fraud case.
Weisselberg pleaded guilty in March to two felony counts of perjury. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said he admitted to giving false testimony regarding the size of former President Donald Trump’s triplex apartment in New York during a July deposition.
Prosecutors initially charged Weisselberg with three additional counts of perjury, but their agreement allowed him to avoid pleading guilty to those charges.
One of those initial counts was related to false sworn testimony on May 12, 2023, in a discovery deposition. The other two counts stemmed from Weisselberg’s October 10, 2023, testimony in his civil fraud trial, in which he and longtime former boss Donald Trump were found liable for fraud and other related allegations.
This is the second time Weisselberg will serve time at Rikers.
In August 2022, Allen Weisselberg pleaded guilty to 15 tax crime felonies in exchange for a reduced sentence in a plea deal with prosecutors.
The plea deal also required that Mr. Weisselberg testify as a witness when the case went to trial.
Judge Juan Merchan, the same extremist judge overseeing Trump’s Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial, previously sentenced Weisselberg to five months in Rikers Island jail.
The case was tied to tax-related conduct amid claims Trump Organization employees illegally ‘received tax-free perks such as apartments and car leases.’
These types of cases are almost never pursued, but the witch hunt of Trump and everyone connected to him never ends.

A mass shooting is being reported in West Philadelphia, reportedly at or near Clara Muhammad Square, at an Eid al-Fitr event, celebrating the final day of Ramadan, a holy month of fasting celebrated by Muslims around the world.
The cause of the shooting or the names of the suspects have not yet been released.
In Philadelphia, PA, only moments ago, it’s being reported that multiple people have been shot at an event celebrating the final day of Ramadan.
According to Mike Nik, there is a major police response to the shooting near Clara Muhammad Square, which is near Girard St and 48th St. in Philadelphia.
According to Steve Keeley of local Fox 29, Multiple people have been shot, according to the Philadelphia Police Department, and police have made “numerous arrests,” and “At least 4 guns were recovered.”
Keeley tweeted: “Sources tell me at the scene of shooting at 46th & Wyalusing Avenue at a Ramadan event. At least one Philadelphia Police officer also fired a weapon.
In another tweet, Keeley shared a map of the location where the shooting took place, saying that hundreds of people were attending the Ramadan event where the shooting took place.

Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as a guide for humanity with clear proofs of guidance and the standard “to distinguish between right and wrong”.
Despite at one point being described as a “crony” of President Trump, new information has come to light regarding former AG Bill Barr’s actions following the highly-disputed 2020 election. Was Barr derelict in his duty to investigate?
President Trump flew into Atlanta Wednesday for a high dollar fundraiser and on the way stopped by a Chick-fil-A in the Vine City neighborhood where he was warmly received by workers and HBCU (historically black colleges and universities) students. Videos posted by the Trump campaign, RSBN and C-SPAN captured the visit.
The videos that are sure to shake up the Biden-Harris campaign show the friendly interaction between Trump and Black women working the counter at the Chick-fil-A and the hero’s welcome given Trump by Black supporters at the restaurant.
When Trump walked in he greeted the workers, ordering 30 milkshakes and chicken for customers while engaging in conversation that brought smiles to their faces.
Short video by the Trump campaign’s Margo Martin: “”Can I have 30 milkshakes and also some chicken? We are going to take care of the customers. Is business good? (Yes.) You’re making a lot of money? (Yes!) Everyone can get rich, right? (Yes! Laughter.) Thanks very much.”
"What good looking people. Wow. That was worth it…. Can I have 30 milkshakes. And also some chicken. We're going to take care of the customers. Business is good? Making a lot of money? Get rich, right?
A Trump supporter posted a screen image of the workers reacting to Trump, “Yep! And we’ve all seen people forced to stand near presidents – and they aren’t smiling. Those big, beautiful smiles aren’t forced. They’re sincere & it makes me so happy! I met Trump in the ’90s. He has a special way about him, you can’t help but smile when he talks to you!”
Another C-SPAN video gives context to the hug. The woman is a Trump supporter who was with a group of students from HBCUs Clark Atlanta, Spelman, Morehouse and Morris Brown. (55 second mark after Trump touts Congressional candidate Brian Jack.)

Reporter Marc Caputo noted one of the likely reasons for the stop at this particular Chick-fil-A, “A major reason Trump specifically stopped by this Chick-fil-A in Atlanta: it’s on the route from the airport to the Fulton County jail where Trump had his mugshot taken On the way to the jail, Trump saw all these folks cheering him on” (Also, in the video, Trump says the franchise owner is a member of one of his clubs.)

Atlanta flashback video recorded August 24, 2023 and reposted Wednesday by the Trump campaign, “Today, President Trump returned to Vine City, Atlanta. The last time President Trump traveled down Joseph Lowery Boulevard, he was on his way to fight another Biden-directed Witch Hunt.”

Kelly Loeffler & David Perdue, Brian Jack, Bill White, LG Burt Jones. Republicans you won’t see: Gov. Brian Kemp, SoS Brad Raffensperger, AG Chris Carr. No coincidence.”

Americans concerned about being able to feed their family today, tomorrow, or anytime before 2049 can take advantage of 25% off all products at Prepper All-Naturals with promo code “veterans25” for a limited time. The Liberty Daily also benefits from purchases made with our sponsors.
On top of that, 10% of net revenue will be donated to a veterans charity chosen by co-founder Jason “Storm” Nelson, a combat disable veteran. The reason for this sale is actually quite funny.
“Right after we ordered a huge batch of mylar bags, we decided to rebrand with a new bag design,” Nelson said. “So we have all of these bags with the older design that we need to use up.”
The thick, resealable mylar bags are used in combination with oxygen absorbers to keep the freeze dried beef inside shelf-stable for decades. They cannot and should not be discarded, so Prepper All-Naturals is offering the 25% discount until the old mylar is all gone.
The company uses the highest quality mylar because their products have one ingredient: Beef. There are not preservatives or anything else. They don’t even add salt so the beef can fit in with the vast majority of American diets.
Bad timing of the rebrand means now is the best timing to stock up on long-term storage beef.
First, it was 17 intelligence agencies saying that Russia hacked our election — and now, it’s 19 former Defense Officials, Admirals, and Generals claiming President Trump is a THREAT to National Security. Does anyone really believe these people anymore? What is it about Trump they’re SO afraid of?
Former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who recently resigned from his role in the Georgia indictment against President Trump and 18 co-defendants, is now pleading poverty to skip out on his divorce agreement to pay alimony and child support.
Wade withdrew from the Trump lawfare RICO case after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled that he must be removed in order for Soros Funded District Attorney Fani Wills to continue her RICO case against Trump and the co-defendants.
During his time at the District Attorney’s office, after Willis improperly hired Wade to prosecute Trump while she was sleeping with him, Wade was paid more than $700,000!
It can be recalled that Soros-funded Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was subpoenaed to testify in the divorce proceedings of Nathan Wade and Joycelyn Wade. According to a court filing obtained by The Wall Street Journal, Willis was served a subpoena at her Atlanta office for her testimony.
These revelations about Willis and Wade’s secret and nefarious relationship came to light after Mike Roman, a former Trump campaign official and co-defendant in the racketeering case led by Willis, moved to accuse both Willis and Wade of misconduct. The motion, spearheaded by Roman’s attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, alleges an “improper, clandestine personal relationship” between Willis and Wade.
Now, Wade is claiming he’s broke and asking for an emergency hearing to lower the amount of money he agreed to pay his ex-wife in their divorce settlement.
The Gateway Pundit reported last week that Joycelyn Wade, the ex-wife of Nathan Wade, filed for contempt of court, accusing her him of failing to comply with financial obligations amidst her ongoing health struggles.
Court documents reveal that Nathan Wade has allegedly ceased financial assistance for their daughter’s education and living expenses and their son’s nascent soccer career in Europe.
Joycelyn Wade, who has been facing severe health issues necessitating urgent medical procedures, including an endoscopy and colonoscopy, claims Nathan Wade abandoned her financially during this critical time.
Nathan Wade is pleading poverty since losing his prosecutor role in the Donald Trump election fraud case and trying to avoid paying his estranged wife alimony, new court papers show.
Wade — forced to step down as special prosecutor in the Georgia case following the revelation of his affair with District Attorney Fani Willis — says he can no longer afford to honor the terms of a temporary agreement he reached with wife Joycelyn Wade less than three months ago, according to the filing.
“With the income from [Wade’s] employement as the Special Prosecutor no longer coming in, and with income from [his] private practice being diminished, [he] is no longer able to … meet the financial obligations set forth in the temporary order,” Wade’s divorce lawyer M. Scott Kimbrough wrote in papers filed Monday.
During the investigation into his affair, it was revealed he had made over $700,000 while working for the DA, and had spent thousands on lavish trips for himself and Fani to the Caribbean, Central America and California.
Biden wrapped up his brief remarks and shuffled away.

This afternoon, President Trump shared an image of a 2018 letter from Stormy Daniels on his Truth Social Account.
Above the image of the letter from the porn star, turned darling of the Democrat Party, President Trump wrote:
“LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND!”
He asked, “WILL THE FAKE NEWS REPORT IT??”
Here is what the 2018 letter that Stormy Daniels allegedly sent said, which should be the end of yet another lie that was told over and over again by the media in their effort to destroy him.
Official Statement of Stormy Daniels
January 30, 2018
To Whom It May Concern:
Over the past few weeks, I have been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago.
The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017, and now again in 2018. I am not denying this affair because I was paid “hush money” as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened.
I will have no further comment on this matter. Please feel free to check me out on Instagram at @thestormydaniels.
Thank you,
(signed) Stormy Daniels
Here is a screenshot of the Truth Social post by President Trump:
The Gateway Pundit reported about the Stormy Daniels story last month, but with a new twist from a whistleblower who claimed that according to the dirty lawyer Michael Avenatti who defended Stormy Daniels in her so-called “hush money” case against Trump, the affair with Stormy Daniels was not with Trump, but instead, with Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who was trying to extort money from Donald J. Trump before the 2016 election with a fake scheme he cooked up about an affair the then-top GOP presidential candidate had with the porn star.
The Gateway Pundit also reported about a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyers admitting President Trump knew nothing about the Stormy Daniel’s “hush money” transaction he was accused of ahead of his ridiculous civil trial where Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has charged President Trump with 34 felony counts related to the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ transaction.
Costello blasted Michael Cohen as a “convicted perjurer” in remarks to reporters in New York last March.
The prosecutors “cherry-picked” 6 emails out of more than 300 emails, Costello said.
Costello told reporters that Michael Cohen used the money “pursuant to a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) loan” to pay Stormy.
Only yesterday, The Gateway Pundit reported about how Judge Merchan, the dirty judge whose daughter is benefitting financially from the trial he is overseeing, rejected the request by President Trump’s lawyers to delay the “hush money” trial.
Tuesday’s ruling comes one day after another New York appeals court judge rejected Trump’s request to delay the trial on a separate argument.
A ruling on Trump’s request to stay Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order is still pending.
A state appeals court judge on Tuesday denied Donald Trump’s bid to halt his criminal trial while he appeals his gag order in the case, a ruling that came less than 24 hours after another judge rejected the former president’s request to delay his impending criminal trial on other grounds.
Democrat New Jersey Congressman Rep. Donald Payne Jr. has been hospitalized after a “cardiac episode.”
Payne, a relentless advocate for the COVID vaccine, said in a statement that complications from his diabetes prompted the incident.
“Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. suffered a cardiac episode based on complications from his diabetes during the weekend,” Payne’s office said in a statement on Monday.
Payne’s office said that he is expected to fully recover, though he remains hospitalized.
The statement continued, “He was admitted to a local hospital for treatment. Currently, he is recovering in the hospital as doctors conduct routine exams to monitor and observe his improvement. The Congressman’s prognosis is good and he is expected to make a full recovery.”
The statement also said that Payne will be out of Congress for the week while he recovers.
Fellow New Jersey Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill responded to the news by saying that Payne is a “fighter” in a statement posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“My heart is with my friend, Congressman Donald Payne, and his family following the cardiac episode he experienced this past weekend,” she said. “Donald is a fighter and I’m encouraged that his prognosis is good and he is receiving the medical care he needs.”
Shortly after 2:30 PM ET today, a mass shooting took place on the West side of Philadelphia. The Gateway Pundit reported that the shooting took place at or near Clara Muhammad Square on 47th Street and Wyalusing Avenue, near a local Muslim mosque during an Eid al-Fitr event, celebrating the final day of Ramadan, a holy month of fasting celebrated by Muslims around the world.
According to Mike Nik, there is a major police response to the shooting near Clara Muhammad Square, which is near Girard St and 48th St. in Philadelphia.
According to Steve Keeley of local Fox 29, Multiple people have been shot, according to the Philadelphia Police Department, and police have made “numerous arrests,” and “At least 4 guns were recovered.”
Keeley tweeted: “Sources tell me at the scene of shooting at 46th & Wyalusing Avenue at a Ramadan event. At least one Philadelphia Police officer also fired a weapon.

There were several reports of multiple injuries, as well as arrests on the scene by Philadelphia Police. Details surrounding the shooting, however, were being kept quiet from the public, leaving many to wonder “why?”
While the story gained national attention because of the proximity of the shooting to a Muslim mosque on the final day of the holy month of Ramadan, it appears that from the latest reporting, it’s just another day of violence in the City of Brotherly Love.
Now, we are learning some of the details behind the shooting, including that a teen was wounded in a shootout with police and is now in custody. It is also being reported that three people were injured, and five people, including the teen, 3 men, and a woman, have all been arrested in connection with the shooting scene.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer– Officers were writing tickets for cars parked at a nearby gas station when they heard about 30 shots being fired, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said.
The officers observed at least two groups in the area shooting at each other. During the shooting, a police officer approached a 15-year-old boy, according to investigators. That teen fired at the officer who fired back and shot him, according to police.
Besides the teen boy, two other people were struck during the shooting, police said.
I visited Philadelphia over the weekend and was stunned by all of the amazing history that our nation’s first capital has to offer. It’s incredibly sad that a city that serves as a remarkable reminder of the bravery, sacrifice, and courage of our Founding Fathers is now thought of by most Americans as just another violent city run by Democrats that’s not worth visiting.
With police recruitment at an all-time low and violence on the rise, there has never been a better time to remove Democrats from office who are anti-law enforcement and easy on criminals and replace them with pro-law-enforcement and pro rule-of-law Republicans.
The organization spent almost half of the $3 million-plus it brought in last year on travel expenses, political consultants, and legal fees despite the PAC’s claimed focus on electing leftist Gen Z candidates.
One of the expenditures includes a payout to former Clinton campaign general counsel and Trump-Russia hoax cheerleader Marc Elias.
However, Breitbart reports that their stated initiative comes second to supporting Hogg’s travel itinerary and enriching consultants, with expenditures of only $263,000 on campaigns and candidates.
Of the more than $3 million raised in its first year of operations, the Leaders We Deserve PAC spent only about $263,000 on its stated mission of electing candidates from Generation Z to office combined with donations to other Democrat Party committees and groups—and instead spent more than $1.4 million on disbursements to themselves for payroll and to political consulting firms and legal fees, in addition to travel and entertainment expenses like hotels, flights, and meals.
The FEC records show that Hogg’s group spent more than $51,000 across several payments to a group called Accelerate Political Advisors and another more than $25,000 across several payments to a firm called Bee Compliance, LLC. In addition, the group spent more than $83,000 on legal fees to Elias Law Group, the firm headed by Democrat lawyer Marc Elias. Leaders We Deserve spent another more than $28,000 over two payments, the records show, for “Communications Consulting” from a group called “Liftoff Campaigns” and yet another $60,000 for “Strategic Consulting” from a firm called “Lim Consulting Services.”
Hogg is blessed with the ability to financially enrich himself and with political fame and all he had to do was stand on the bodies of his dead classmates to do it. https://t.co/xJW8zns5sH
Video footage on Tuesday emerged showing the moment when plainclothes Chicago police officers unloaded nearly 100 gunshots during a traffic stop last month, killing a man and subsequently leading to negative anti-cop coverage. However, the narrative of police killing an innocent man runs counter to the facts.
As the New York Postreported, 26-year-old Dexter Reed was killed during a March 21 traffic stop in Humboldt Park on West Ferdinand Street after officers in an unmarked cop car pulled him over for failing to wear a seatbelt.
Dexter Reed Credit: Chicago Police Department
The wild footage opens with a female officer and four others approaching Reed’s vehicle while he rolls down the window. But he refuses to exit his SUV despite the policewoman angrily ordering him to do so several times.
The officers then back up, and a major shootout subsequently erupts, sending her scrambling.
“Shots fired! Shots fired!” the female officer yells. “Alert the neighbors!”
She and her fellow officers then fire several more bullets before stopping.
WATCH:
Just in: part of more than 30 videos released this morning by @COPA_Chicago related to the “exchange of gunfire” resulting in the death of Dexter Reed last month. (Graphic)
NOTE: This is a segment of the video. The full video and all COPA materials are available here:… pic.twitter.com/73JeSAgtQd
Reed is next seen on the ground near the rear passenger wheel of his car, which is full of bullet holes. The policewoman calls for an ambulance and reveals an officer has been shot.
The cops handcuff a motionless Reed and say that “he started shooting at us” while trying to locate his gun.
The corporate media, though, wasted no time slanting an anti-cop version of events. CNN, for example, ran a segment that was very sympathetic to Reed after the footage leaked.
The liberal outlet interviewed members of his family and the family attorney but did not bother to interview a dissenting voice. The attorney alleged without evidence that the cops conducted an unconstitutional search while the family members mourned Reed’s loss and painted him as an angel.
How did a traffic stop for not wearing a seatbelt end with 96 gunshots, an injured officer, and a dead 26-year-old? Some say it was because Dexter Reed fired at officers first, as the initial investigation shows. Some believe the stop never should’ve happened in the first place. pic.twitter.com/1Yg7fhVjZB
Meanwhile, here is how the far-left Washington Post decided to slant their coverage of the incident. Note the racial angle involved:
Credit: Washington Post
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability, however, revealed that evidence showed Reed had fired first during the shootout. One police officer was shot in the hand during the exchange.
Four other officers then returned fire, killing Reed. All told, 96 bullets were fired in 41 seconds.
“Available preliminary evidence also confirms that officers returned fire approximately 96 times over a period of 41 seconds, including after Mr. Reed exited his vehicle and fell to the ground,” COPA said.
In other words, this is a case of self-defense by the police officers.
But their actions are under investigation. Communist Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx said Tuesday that her office would determine whether the officers’ use of force was warranted or necessitated criminal charges.
It would not come as a surprise if these cops are punished and fed to the mob despite Reed opening fire first.
Unless you were brainwashed by the MSM Globalists, it was painful to follow the coverage of the last Argentine Presidential election, in which the winner Javier Milei, with his common sense economic ideas, was branded as ‘dangerous’ ‘radical,’ and the inevitable ‘far-right.’,
In the meantime, the Peronist socialists, legitimate heirs of the brutal dictator Juan Perón, were treated like the sensible choice – never mind that they destroyed the once-prosperous country and drove 60% of the citizens below the poverty line.
After all, socialists and Globalists are always the good guys for the crooked fake media.
Former President Alberto Fernández led a disastrous government and was so unpopular that he didn’t even run for reelection.
“Judge Julián Ercolini of the national Federal Criminal and Correctional Court, has ordered the general [freezing] of Fernández’s assets and has lifted the tax and banking secrecy on his accounts in the case that investigates whether the president favored, for the contracting of State insurance, the husband of his private secretary.
Ercolini’s measure also covers another 32 people, [among] former officials, companies and cooperatives that are being investigated, and who will now not be able to sell or dispose of their assets.”
The decision affects one Héctor Martínez Sosa and his wife María Cantero, who was Fernández’s secretary.
For Judge Ercolini, this link raises credible suspicions that the former president played an important role in the intermediation between state entities and Nación Seguros.
“Fernández is being investigated for alleged irregularities regarding a decree that he signed in December 2021, by which he ordered that all public organizations must contract insurance with Nación Seguros , from the state-owned Banco Nación, in which friends of the ex-president as intermediaries collecting million-dollar commissions.
Despite not needing managers to contract these insurances, the public organizations used the husband of their secretary and friend, Martínez Sosa, as an intermediary, who also appears as a creditor of the former president in their sworn statements.”
If convicted, Fernández will join in infamy his Vice President (also former first lady and later President) Cristina Kirchner, another leading Peronist politician who was indicted and convicted for obstructing the investigation into the 1994 Hezbollah Bombing of the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA), a Jewish Community Centre – a conviction later overturned during Fernández’ term.
On 6 December 2022, she was further sentenced to six years in prison and a lifetime ban from holding public office for corruption.
Joe Biden sat down for a one-on-one softball interview with Democrat-friendly Univision.
Biden attacked the Second Amendment during his interview and told Univision host Enrique Acevedo that he used to teach law school.
“I used to teach the Second Amendment in law school … From the very beginning, there were limitations. You couldn’t own a cannon!” Biden said.
Of course, the Univision host did not push back on Joe Biden’s lies.
This is a brazen lie. Biden never taught a single class and there was never a ban on cannon ownership.
Joe Biden is a legend in his own mind. He was paid $1 million by UPenn but he never taught a single class.
At the time of our nation’s founding, there were NO restrictions on the 2nd Amendment. Citizens could absolutely own a cannon. This was made very clear in 1812 when James Madison signed letters of marque and reprisal telling private ship owners that they could outfit their boats with cannons.
There were no restrictions on the 2nd Amendment because for a long time Americans had sufficient reading and comprehension skills to know what “shall not be infringed” meant. All of the guns that they owned were so-called weapons of war, because they had just used them to fight off a tyrannical government. It would have been completely antithetical to the expressed intent of the 2nd Amendment to allow the government to restrict what the people could own.

James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group has released undercover footage of a Federal Reserve employee admitting to how Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell sabotaged President Trump and wants to go down in history as “someone who held the line against Trump.”
Principal Economist Aurel Hizmo, a self-proclaimed liberal, told an undercover journalist more about Powell’s hatred for Trump, saying, “As soon as he became Chair, Trump wanted him to lower interest rates. Because when you lower interest rates, it stimulates the economy, and Trump was President. He wanted to stimulate the economy, but he wouldn’t do it. And he started raising interest rates, and doing the opposite of what Trump wanted. Trump tried to find all the loopholes to fire him.”
The Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates under Joe Biden, which Hizmo says is to prevent a recession and the economy from crashing.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates at least 11 times since 2022 – 7 times in 2022 and 4 times in 2023 – in an effort to hedge inflation.
But it hasn’t worked, as Americans are still getting crushed by Joe Biden’s inflation crisis.
Hizmo further told the journalist that conservatives at the Federal Reserve are “dumb” and would be discriminated against depending on how ‘out there’ they are.”
“I don’t think there are any conservatives in the field,” he said, adding, “all the people I work with are academics.” He continued, “Trump supporters are not voting for him for logical reasons,” and implied that President Trump is stupid.
Aurel Hizmo is a former finance professor who now works as a subject matter expert who even writes speeches for Jerome Powell. The people behind the scenes, who are running our institutions into the ground and pulling the strings behind the public figures, think you’re stupid!
Finally, Hizmo told the undercover journalist how the Federal Reserve’s priorities are turning to focus more on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and climate change and to apparently implement environmental and social governance (ESG) policies to include “wealth inequality as part of the mandate” and “create[ing] an environment” for climate scientists.
When confronted by James O’Keefe and two reporters, Hizmo denied saying any of this! Stay tuned for more footage…
Watch below via James O’Keefe:
BREAKING, INSIDE THE FEDERAL RESERVE: Hidden Camera captures Principal Economist @federalreservetalking about Jerome Powell’s legacy as “somebody who held the line against like, Trump.” The influential agency responsible for maintaining a stable monetary system appears to not just be establishing interest rates, but to be setting policies for desired social outcomes.
“Under Powell, the Fed has changed to think about equity issues, like racial issues, think about wealth inequality as part of the mandate, as part of the things we are following. Think about climate change.” Aurel Hizmo, Principal Economist at the Federal Reserve, who prior to working at the Fed was an Assistant Professor @NYUSternand received his PhD in Economics from@DukeU, helps write speeches for Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell for the Federal Open Market Committee.
Hizmo says “Trump is just a crazy person” and conservatives are “dumb” as he describes to OMG’s American Swiper Citizen Journalist a politicized Federal Reserve Board where Powell has promoted ESG issues like climate change and “wants to be remembered in history” “as a savior.” But shhh…don’t tell anyone because Hizmo says: “I’m just really worried that I’m saying stuff that’s classified…It’s all classified.” @RonPaul@RandPaul

Shocking footage has emerged showing a helpless white female Greenwich High School student being brutally assaulted by multiple youths while witnesses loudly cheered and recorded the attack.
The Connecticut Centinal reported the incident occurred in Byram Park in Greenwich, CT, around 8:25 pm on April 9th.
The footage starts with the victim getting beat up by two individuals. They kick, punch, and drag her across the ground while onlookers gleefully yell and start taping the assault.
The beating briefly ceases, and the girl sits up while being surrounded by an angry mob. She then utters what witnesses claim is the N-word, and the onslaught resumes.
Two other youths began violently punching her until she lay unconscious on the ground. The unruly crowd can be heard demanding the beating continue and laughing before someone regains a semblance of humanity and screams, “Chill chill, chill.”
One youth can be heard exclaiming “that b**ch got knocked the f**k out!” while others laugh and suggest she got what she deserved for supposedly saying the offending word. The group then left.
The Connecticut Centinal reported the victim was transported to the hospital following the attack where she was treated for injuries.
Greenwich Police have not publicly identified any of the suspects or spoken about the nature of the altercation. The incident is currently under investigation.
Witnesses and others with information regarding this assault are being urged to contact Detective John King at 203-622-8052.
Jim Hoft previously reported that the House of Representatives appeared poised to pass legislation to continue their FISA warrantless spying on American citizens and even gave themselves a corrupt carveout from surveillance.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, FISA was used to spy on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign illegally.
But in a surprise move Wednesday, 19 House Republicans joined with Democrats to block the move to start debate on a bill to reauthorize the nation’s warrantless spy program. The move came after Trump urged Republicans to “KILL FISA.”
The vote to advance Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) failed by a 193-228 vote.
Here are the 19 heroes who defied the establishment and stood with the American people:
Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.)
Rep. Dan Bishop (N.C.)
Rep. Lauren Boebert (Colo.)
Rep. Tim Burchett (Tenn.)
Rep. Michael Cloud (Texas)
Rep. Eli Crane (Ariz.)
Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.)
Rep. Bob Good (Va.)
Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.)
Rep. Clay Higgins (La.)
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (Fla.)
Rep. Nancy Mace (S.C.)
Rep. Cory Mills (Fla.)
Rep. Ralph Norman (S.C.)
Rep. Andy Ogles (Tenn.)
Rep. Scott Perry (Pa.)
Rep. Matt Rosendale (Mont.)
Rep. Chip Roy (Texas)
Rep. Greg Steube (Fla.)
Section 702 is set to expire on April 19 if Congress fails to act. Speaker Mike Johnson has called the spy program “critically important,” ignoring the grave constitutional concerns associated with it.
As previously reported by Hoft, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) revealed that Congress gave its members a special carve out in the latest version of the FISA bill.
Via the proposed legislation, here is the special gift that members of Congress tried to give themselves:
Requirement: The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall promptly notify appropriate congressional leadership of any query conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation using a query term that is reasonably believed to be the name or other personally identifying information of a member of Congress, and shall also notify the member who is the subject of such query.
Congress gives itself a carve-out in the reauthorization of FISA 702 warrantless spying on Americans.
The bill requires the FBI to notify and seek consent from Congress before violating the privacy of Congressmen.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) attended an event at Booker T. Washington High School in Houston where she got confused on astronomy and made a brutal moon gaffe. Now, her attempts to blame others for her misfortune are blowing up in her face.
While addressing the crowd before the eclipse on monday, Jackson Lee claimed the moon is mainly made up of gases, which is laughably false. This gaffe becomes more inexcusable when one realizes she used to sit on the House Science Committee and the House Space Committee.
Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases, and that’s why the question is why or how could we as humans live on the Moon? Are the gases such that we could do that?”
Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: It’s “almost impossible to go near the sun,” but the “moon is more manageable” because it’s “made up mostly of gases” (it isn’t)pic.twitter.com/0t8CPI4QzW
The moon is actually made mostly of iron, a metal. Other metals found on the moon are magnesium, aluminum, silicon, titanium, gold, silver, and mercury
Fox News notes Jackson Lee also called the moon a planet, another inexcusable error. An elementary school kid knows better!
Instead of taking responsibility, Jackson Lee responded to the outcry by blaming REPUBLICANS for her brutal error.
Obviously I misspoke and meant to say the sun, but as usual, Republicans are focused on stupid things instead of stuff that really matters.
— Sheila Jackson Lee (@JacksonLeeTX18) April 9, 2024
Social media users had no use for Jackson Lee’s nonsense and proceeded to obliterate her.
Stay strong, Queen. In a world of knaves, numbskulls, & fools, you alone are wise. Lead on, visionary vixen, our nation needs you now more than ever. https://t.co/FdlHOyVKPh
Ayatollah Khamenei issued a threat against Israel on Eid al-Fitr holiday.
Iranian Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that the Zionist regime made the mistake of attacking the Iranian diplomatic mission in Syria during his comments Wednesday during Eid al-Fitr prayers.
Khamenei told supporters, “The evil regime made a mistake and it should be punished and will be punished.”
This could escalate quickly. Israel already announced an attack on Iran in response to any attack from Iranian territory.
Israel threatens to strike Iran directly if Iran launches attack from its territory – Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vows retaliation against Israel for the killing of two Iranian generals in Syria, emphasizing the importance of punishing the "evil regime."
The promised Iranian retaliation for the Israeli attack on Tehran’s consulate in Damascus is likely in the next 24-48 hours, anonymous US officials told Bloomberg on Wednesday.
Two generals of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force were killed in the Israeli airstrike on April 1, which for the first time targeted an internationally protected diplomatic mission.
There has been a widespread expectation that Iran would refrain from reprisal until the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Speaking on Wednesday, as Muslims celebrated the feast of Eid-al-Fitr, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Israel “must and shall be punished” for what it did.
“Major missile or drone strikes” are now imminent, Bloomberg reported citing “people familiar with” the Israeli, US and allied intelligence reports. They will likely be carried out by either Iran directly, or its allies such as the Lebanon-based Hezbollah, the anonymous sources said.
Remember Cornel West? He is still running for president in 2024 as an independent.
West has just announced his choice of running mate. He picked a college professor from California named Melina Abdullah. She is a radical BLM activist, so this is a perfect fit.
West and Abdullah may not get many votes, but they won’t be taking anything away from Trump, that’s for sure.
Cornel West chooses Black Lives Matter activist Melina Abdullah as his vice president
Cornel West tapped university professor and prominent Black Lives Matter activist Melina Abdullah to be his running mate on his long-shot presidential bid.
Abdullah has never run for political office before and is the former chair of the Pan-African Studies Department at California State University, Los Angeles.
“I wanted to run with someone who would put a smile on the face of Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin Luther King Jr. from the grave,” West said.
He announced his pick on Wednesday’s episode of the Tavis Smiley Radio Show on KBLA radio.
West is running as an independent candidate and faces significant challenges in his campaign for the White House. West’s fundraising has lagged behind his opponents, raising less than $1 million since launching his bid last summer.
Democrats are worried about West for the same reason they’re worried about RFK:
Democrats were swift to criticize West’s announcement. “Despite Cornel West announcing a running mate, our view remains the same: only two candidates have a path to 270 electoral votes, President Biden and Donald Trump,” said DNC spokesperson Matt Corridoni. “The stakes are high, and we know this is going to be a close election — that’s why a vote for any third party candidate is a vote for Donald Trump.”
It’ll be fascinating to see where this ticket picks up votes.
Cornel West for President 2024 is honored to welcome Dr. Melina Abdullah, professor, organizer, activist, a beacon of wisdom and justice, as our Vice Presidential candidate. Together, we’re crafting a future where justice and love lead the way. Join us in this historic movement!… pic.twitter.com/MTgkIoWRsB
Cities across the country are dealing with an exploding problem of homelessness, but places like Los Angeles and San Francisco in California are among the worst.
In a shocking turn of events, an audit has found that California has spent $24 billion on homeless programs yet the problem persists and in some places is getting worse.
Would California have seen better improvements if they just gave this money directly to homeless people? Could the outcome have been any worse?
An audit in California found that the state spent $24 billion on homelessness over the past five years, but the state did not accurately track if the funds actually improved the problem.
The state has spent roughly $24 billion on initiatives to address homelessness, and the audit analyzed a combined $13.7 billion that went to five programs across the state from 2018-23. Despite the money being spent on 30 homelessness and housing programs, the audit found that California does not have reliable data to see why the situation did not improve in cities across the state.
“This report concludes that the state must do more to assess the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs,” State Auditor Grant Parks wrote in a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and lawmakers.
Democratic state Sen. Dave Cortese requested the audit in 2022 after he toured a homeless encampment that had been cleared. He said results from the audit found a “data desert,” which found a continuous cycle with many experiencing homelessness placed in interim housing. Of those people, only 13% found a permanent home and 44% became homeless again.
How many people working for the state became wealthy off of these homeless programs?
In it, state auditors found that homeless numbers jumped 53% in the last decade with an estimated 180,000 people unhoused in California, despite the spending of more than $20 billion to stop it. https://t.co/R19ozBFHcn
Some quick math on California homelessness. In 2015, 1 out of 336 people in California were homeless; in 2023, it was 1 in 215. This despite tens of billions of government spending at all levels. pic.twitter.com/17wlPVBTYm
This is a scandal. The state has spent billions on homelessness, and it's worse. Also, outcomes literally mean everything when it comes to homeless services, and unsurprisingly, they have no data. A full independent audit must be done. Now. @GavinNewsomhttps://t.co/RZUhruH9sK
Whoopi Goldberg recently said on The View that Republicans want to bring back slavery.
This is a vicious lie that is meant to sow fear and also betrays Whoopi’s ignorance of American history. The Republican party was founded to end slavery in the United States, which was supported by Democrats. Why would Republicans want to bring back something that they fought to end?
This is just like when Biden famously said to black voters that Mitt Romney wants to ‘put y’all back in chains.’
This is all the left has now. Telling lies to scare people into voting Democrat.
Whoopi Goldberg: Republicans Want to ‘Bring Slavery Back’
Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that some Republicans would like to “bring slavery back” during the panel discussion of the Arizona Supreme Court’s ruling reinstating an 1864 abortion ban.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “I believe a lot of elected Republicans are completely out of step with the sentiment of the country because we’ve seen in Kansas, a very red state, Ohio, and Kentucky that Republicans turned out to protect access to abortion so this is a big win for Democrats I believe in the election.”
Goldberg said, “Take a look at the things that they’re rolling back. Remember I said ages ago, you know, in their minds they want to bring slavery back. They’re okay with it because you see things change — now one of the good things about the Supreme Court is you can fight to make sure you make stuff better. You don’t generally fight to make stuff worse.”
Here’s the video:
Whoopi Goldberg said Republicans want to bring back slavery. Other than being a rotten human being & itching to foment violence, what's the value of dumb commentary like this?

Did you know that The View is part of the ABC News division?
It’s easily the most politically toxic show on television and it constantly spreads misinformation.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris think that support from LGBT voters is going to win them the day in November. While it is true that a majority of LGBT voters support Democrats, they are still a minority in the United States.
The fact that the Biden Harris campaign is talking about this speaks volumes. They are doing this because they are losing support from other parts of their coalition. Black voters, Latino voters and young voters are all drifting away from them.
This is a way for Democrats to brag about one part of their base that still seems steady.
Biden, Harris announce new campaign push for LGBTQ support, call members ‘a force to be reckoned with’
President Biden and Vice President Harris’ re-election campaign has announced a new push to win over a group of voters that it claims is “a force to be reckoned with.” The initiative comes just seven months ahead of the president’s rematch with the presumptive Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump.
As Biden seeks to win another term in the White House despite facing historic low approval ratings, Team Biden-Harris announced the launch of “Out for Biden-Harris.” The campaign describes the program as a national effort to mobilize LGBTQ+ voters and community members across the country.
In a statement, Biden-Harris 2024 campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said, “LGBTQ+ voters are a force to be reckoned with.”
“They were critical to our victory in 2020, and they will be critical to winning again this November,” Chavez Rodriguez added. “That’s why we’re thrilled to launch Out for Biden-Harris, which will harness the LGBTQ+ community’s organizing prowess to reelect President Biden and Vice President Harris this November.”
Like everything Biden does, this could backfire.
Watching Democrats play another round of "Intersectional Olympics" with the most dysfunctional Admin in recent history? No thanks. “No administration has done more” to damage the public image of LGBT people than the clowns running the Biden-Harris Administration. #LGBTrumphttps://t.co/h1S8gyatmA
A new study from Consumer Reports revealed that popular kids’ food Lunchables contains concerning amounts of lead in its pre-packaged meals.
Consumer Reports tested 12 Lunchable products in a study and discovered that five contained over 50% more lead than California’s legal amount.
Parents have been using Lunchables for decades for quick lunches, but the Consumer Report’s latest revelation might make parents reconsider their decision to feed their children the prepackaged lunch that usually consists of deli meat, cheese, and crackers.
Amy Keating, a dietitian at Consumer Report, stated, “There’s a lot to be concerned about in these kits.”
“They’re highly processed, and regularly eating processed meat, a main ingredient in many of these products, has been linked to increased risk of some cancers.” added Keating.
The popular kids snack Lunchables contains relatively high levels of lead and sodium, a consumer watchdog group warned Tuesday.
Consumer Reports (CR), a consumer advocacy group, said it tested 12 store-bought versions of Lunchables — which are made by Kraft Heinz — along with similar lunch and snack kits and found “relatively high levels of lead and cadmium” in the Lunchables kits.
Cadmium is a chemical element linked to negative effects on the kidney and the skeletal and respiratory systems and is classified as a human carcinogen, according to the World Health Organization.
There is not a safe level of lead for children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes.
The sodium levels in the kits ranged from 460 to 740 milligrams per serving, nearly a quarter to half of a child’s daily recommended limit for sodium, CR said.
Palestinian-American Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) had a meltdown when confronted by a Fox News reporter on Wednesday about an Islamic Al-Quds Day rally in her Dearborn, Michigan district last Friday where the crowd chanted “Death to America!” As of Wednesday, Tlaib had not issued a statement on the rally.
Excerpt from Wikipedia on Al-Quds day, “Quds Day (lit. ’Jerusalem Day’), officially known as International Quds Day (Persian: روز جهانی قدس, romanized: Ruz Jahâni Quds), is an annual pro-Palestinian event held on the last Friday of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan to express support for Palestinians and oppose Israel and Zionism.[4] It takes its name from the Arabic name for Jerusalem: al-Quds. The event was first held in 1979 in Iran, shortly after the Iranian Revolution.”
Fox News Congressional Correspondent Hillary Vaughn caught up with Tlaib as she was walking with a staff member to an elevator in a House office building. Vaughn repeatedly, but respectfully, asked Tlaib about the “Death to America” chants at the rally in her district. Tlaib kept repeating that she doesn’t talk to Fox News, and “I don’t talk to people who use racist tropes.” Tlaib also accused the network of being “Islamophobic.”
Vaughn: Congresswoman Tlaib?
Tlaib: I don’t talk to Fox News! I don’t talk to Fox News!
Vaughn: At a rally in your district people were chanting ‘Death to America’, do you condemn…
Tlaib: I do not talk to Fox News!
Vaughn: But do you condemn chants of ‘Death to America’?
Tlaib: I don’t talk to people that use racist tropes.
Vaughn: Why can’t you just say whether or not you condemn people chanting ‘Death to Amer…’ Why are you afraid to talk to Fox News?
Tlaib: Fox News is not, not, listen to me, using racist tropes towards my community is what Fox News is about and I don’t talk to Fox News.
Vaughn: Is ‘Death to America’ racist?
Tlaib: I don’t talk to Fox News.
Vaughn: Is chanting ‘Death to America’ racist?
Tlaib: Talk about your guys’ racist tropes. You know, you guys know exactly what you do. And I know you’re ‘Islamophobic’, but you guys gotta go deal with it on your own self, you’re not gonna use me.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib Has Meltdown When Confronted by Fox News Reporter on 'Death to America' Chants at Rally in Her Dearborn, Michigan District (Video) | The Gateway Pundit | by Kristinn Taylor

Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) had a meltdown when confronted by a Fox News reporter on Wednesday about an Islamic Al-Quds Day rally in her Dearborn, Michigan district last Friday where the crowd chanted "Death to America!"

Among the many different ways in which the war in Ukraine has disrupted the geopolitical realities in Europe, energy is certainly one of the most critical.
Nations have been scrambling to provide a steady power supply for both industrial needs and to keep the population warm and the lights on.
The massive sanctions against Moscow also meant that many in the old continent had to find new suppliers to substitute the inexpensive Russian gas.
In this context, the North Sea stands out as a vital area of interest.
We learn now that Britain and other countries with maritime borders on the North Sea signed an agreement to work together and protect offshore and underwater infrastructure.
The six countries involved are Belgium, Britain, Denmark, Germany, Norway and the Netherlands. They signed a declaration in which they jointly vow to share information to that end.
“Threats to undersea cables and pipelines have become a security focus for Western European countries following the September 2022 explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, built to ship gas from Russia to Germany across the Baltic Sea.”
NATO has expressed fears that Russia may sabotage undersea cables to retaliate against the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, and also to punish Western nations for arming Ukraine.
“‘The North Sea is the powerhouse driving Europe’s renewable and net zero ambitions, helping to bolster energy security on the continent. So, it’s crucial we protect its critical energy infrastructure now and in the future’, Andrew Bowie, British minister for nuclear and renewables, said.
‘Strengthening ties with our key northern European neighbours as we have today will do just that, ensuring the infrastructure is resilient against those who may seek to threaten or disrupt it’, he added.”
It should be noted that the Nordstream pipeline explosion in September 2022 affected gas flow into Germany and northern Europe. This caused gas prices to rise in several European nations.
The United States was widely blamed for this economic and environmental disaster.
“Denmark’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities said the North Sea is becoming ‘a hub for critical infrastructure’, connecting European countries through power cables, gas pipes and telecommunications links.
‘This means that an increasing cross-border interdependence has emerged — and with it an increased risk of sabotage and unwanted attention from hostile actors’, the ministry said.”
In October 2023, a second gas pipeline, connecting Finland and Estonia, also in the Baltic Sea, was damaged in another ‘incident’.
Concerns over underwater sabotage and hybrid attacks have also skyrocketed in regards to the North Sea.
The six northern European countries will review their security measures, and aim to share information and knowledge.
“‘This joint declaration is an important foundation for ensuring security and is a clear example of our common goals. Together we are stronger’, said Norway’s Minister of Energy Terje Aasland in a statement.”
Belgian Minister for Justice and North Sea Paul Van Tigchelt:
“’The offshore and underwater infrastructure is assured of the same level of security across borders, instead of varying from country to country. We are committed to a uniform approach, a better exchange of information and reporting of incidents via a secure platform’, he said.”
California State Assemblyman Bill Essayli announced on Wednesday his plans to introduce legislation that would require California law enforcement to comply with immigration authorities and allow them to detain and deport illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes against minors.
“It is completely unacceptable that California law currently requires local law enforcement to protect illegal immigrant pedophiles from deportation under our ‘sanctuary state’ policy. I am amending AB 2641 to correct this gross injustice, remarked Assemblyman Bill Essayli.
“As the son of legal immigrants, I was raised to love our country and respect the law. Anyone here in this country illegally who dares commit a sex crime against a minor must be prosecuted and deported expeditiously–this is common sense,” added Assemblyman Bill Essayli.
The language of AB 2641 is currently being amended and will be available in the coming days as it moves through the California Legislature.
This comes after a Colombian illegal immigrant, who was previously convicted for sex crimes against a minor in California, was arrested in Boston, Massachusetts, last week.
While illegally in the United States on an expired visa, the Colombian national was convicted in December 2022 of sexual intercourse with and oral copulation of a minor, which carried a combined prison sentence of four years. However, the illegal immigrant and child sex offender was later released from California state custody on an unknown date, and he moved to Massachusetts.
It is currently unclear why he was released without serving the full term of his sentence.
According to an announcement by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, San Bernardino County refused to honor ICE’s request for advance notification of release to the San Bernardino County-West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, California before the illegal was released into the public.
Essayli states, “the laws of California prohibit law enforcement from handing over convicted child pedophiles to ICE for purposes of deportation,” making it so that San Bernadino County could not legally comply with ICE’s requests.
“On April 2, deportation officers from ERO Boston took him into custody and served him with a warrant for his arrest and a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge. The Colombian noncitizen will remain in ICE custody pending his removal proceedings,” reads the announcement from ICE.
Bill Melugin reported on Wednesday,
NEW: ICE says San Bernardino County, CA ignored their detainer request and released a Colombian sex offender from custody who had been convicted of sex crimes against a California minor. He made his way to Massachusetts, & Boston based ICE officers found & arrested him last week.

Assemblyman Bill Essayli chimed in, asking, “Why do California Democrats support pedophiles?”
San Bernardino was FORCED by state law to protect this pedophile because of our sanctuary state laws. This is completely unacceptable. As a California legislator, I will not stop until we get these misguided policies reversed. Why do California Democrats support pedophiles? https://t.co/JaDSfGbfzl
Essayli released a video statement earlier, announcing his plans to “end California’s Sanctuary State for illegal immigrant pedophiles” with legislation he says will “require law enforcement to comply with federal immigration authorities in cases involving illegals convicted of child sex crimes.”
Watch below:
Essayli: Hi, I’m Assemblyman Bill Essayli here with an urgent legislative announcement. Recently, Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a Colombian illegal immigrant who had been convicted of sex crimes against a minor in the state of California. ICE issued a detainer to release him into their custody for deportation. San Bernadino was unable to honor the detainer due to California sanctuary state laws. Yes, the laws of California prohibit law enforcement from handing over convicted child pedophiles to ICE for purposes of deportation. This is unacceptable in a civilized society. That is why today I am announcing that I have introduced legislation to reverse this misguided policy in the state of California and allow law enforcement to hand over pedophiles, people convicted of child sex offenses, to immigration to deport them and to get them out of our country. They have no business remaining here. Thank God, ICE was able to find and apprehend this individual before he’s able to hurt anyone else. This should never happen, and as lawmakers, we have an obligation and a duty to protect the citizens of this nation. And that is what I intend to do with this bill. Thank you

Infowars host and founder Alex Jones joined Steve Bannon on The War Room the day after undercover video revealed a CIA-FBI operative explaining how the FBI used their powers to bankrupt Alex and Infowars.
Alex Jones told Steve Bannon that President Trump needs to “fire their ass” and clean house at the deep state when he comes into office in 2025.
Alex Jones: The Justice Department, CIA, and NSA are all in with big tech. That came out of the weaponization hearings. They’re using it against the people, and we don’t like open borders or devalued dollars. Then we’re called Russian agents when we’re the loyal Americans. We have the Justice Department, as you said earlier in your analysis, that since Biden got in, openly declared war on populist Christian Conservatives and are saying the largest political block of the country is the biggest threat to the nation when it’s the globalists that have sold out America to communist China and to all these globalist forces.
And so they really want to get the reauthorization of FISA, Marjorie Taylor-Green, used the case of this current CIA operative and former FBI agent who just got caught on video admitting that they’ve been running a deep state takedown operation against me. I already knew that. It came out in court in Connecticut in the staged trial where the judge already found me guilty that the FBI was a party to it and was advising them and going through all the discovery, trying to find something to put me in jail.
Steve Bannon: …Walk through what we now have found out about your particular situation.
Alex Jones: This Gavin O’ Blennis character has been at DHS for a long time. He’s a big liberal general, SJW, a social justice warrior. He then went and worked for the FBI, and now he works as a contract manager that manages the contracts and operations for the CIA.
He got caught by one of these project Veritas-style groups that previously last year helped bring down PornHub in Texas and triggered that criminal investigation when they caught the footage of executives at PornHub saying, “Yes, we target, and are trying to recruit children.” So this very respected group, Sound Investigation, is what they’re called. They were out doing a drag net research with undercover operatives, excuse me, Steve, of federal agents. And we were asking about persecution of people like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones.
And this O’Bllennis character starts bragging about how he was made aware at the FBI and CIA of how they had basically run an information operation against me, mainly to demonize Trump, where they made up a bunch of stuff I never said or did, hiked all up in the press, then advised groups how to sue me and how to do it in certain jurisdictions to basically rig it, to, quote, cut my legs off, take me off the air, and try to silence me because, “I was one of the loudest voices.”
And so now the report has gone extremely viral. Elon Musk and others have been responding and saying that needs to be investigated. The same Democrat Party law firm that has been quarterbacking this against me is now quarterbacking the lawsuits against Elon Musk. They also have quarterbacked the operations against Giuliani and Trump. So it’s all run out of New York and DC. The information operations run out of DC, the CIA, the legal response from the Democrats out of New York. And it’s all right there.
Steve Bannon: Just hang on, hang on, hang on. I want to make sure. This is their classic playbook to Alinsky. You had a platform, and you were the loudest voice with no back down saying exactly what they were doing. They specifically targeted you to hurt the Trump movement. You were Alinskied with operatives, but most importantly, with actual government assets, with CIA, FBI, DOJ. They specifically target you for your destruction, sir.
Alex Jones: Well, just like we saw in the weaponization hearings that you and I already knew about it. We experienced it in the last six, seven years. But in the hearings last year, they confirmed that FBI and CIA, they even had the emails with the CIA saying, This isn’t really legal what we’re doing. That email came out where they were reaching out to Facebook, which is META, and Instagram, and Google, and Twitter at the time, and with hundreds of thousands of requests we know of, saying, Take this down, take that down. What the hell are you doing? Cussing at the executives and high-level moderators at the big tech social media platforms, not just about Hunter Biden’s laptop, but on thousands of different subjects, including even the Afghan withdraw. Hey, don’t let people criticize the Afghan disastrous snap withdrawal that Biden did and the 80 plus billion in weapons that they gave the Taliban the rest of them, and ISIS-K. So this is just another level of how they’re inside of their actually running this. It’s totally illegal. It’s 100 times considerably larger on the scale of what came out in Senator Frank Church’s hearings in the ’70s.
So we need serious hearings with serious teeth. We need funding to be cut to all these special units they’ve got, the CIA and the FBI. It’s supposedly illegal to have the CIA operating domestically, but we know that in the middle of Obama’s terms, he got that law removed and repealed that the CIA couldn’t engage in domestic propaganda. But it’s still illegal for them to be engaged domestically engaging American citizens. As you know, Steve comes through a lot of hoops to be able to get the authorisation to do that and have pure evidence that someone is really working with a foreign power.
But instead, they just say, all MAGA, all Conservatives are Russian agents or Chinese agents, when it’s the complete opposite. Then you have the globalists in bed with the Russians, in bed with the Chinese. Total proof of that. So there’s real proof of espionage with people like Swallows-well and Feinstein, all the rest of them. Then that’s okay. We can see hearings where Swalz-well, that’s my name for him, Swalz-well, sits up there and talks about the communist Chinese threat when he was literally penetrated by a real agent of the CCP. So this is the government waging war against the people directly. Here they are, bragging about it, and it’s hiding in plain view.
And MTG has said, she tweeted it today, or posted on X, that she’s going to bring this up in the hearings, that she’s going to make an issue out of this latest case. But this is a keyhole we’re looking through into a wider world where they’re just openly sitting around talking about how they’re targeting whoever they see as the most effective journalist, trying to put Trump in prison for saying they stole the 2020 election, which we know they did, trying to put you in for standing up to them, putting Trump’s top campaign people in prison. This is the gulag. If they can get away with it with Trump, they’ll get away with it with anybody. That’s why I stand with Trump so strong, and he’s the man of the arena, and so are you.
This was an amazing interview. The pieces are starting to fall into place.
This article originally appeared on JoeHoft.com and was republished with permission and edited by The Gateway Pundit.
Government Agencies are illegally soliciting non-citizens to vote and potentially entrapping them. Government workers who perform these acts are committing felonies.
Joe Hoft previously reported on how Illegals are being registered to vote in Florida. This is likely the case in many other states.
The path non-citizens who cross our border illegally take to get on voter rolls in Florida is as follows. There are some loopholes and practices that allow this to happen:
Cross the US border illegally
Get arrested and get immigration court or asylum application paperwork
Use immigration court or asylum application paperwork to get a Florida driver’s license, state ID (per s 322.08), or a social security number
Sign up for Florida food or medical assistance using the same immigration court or asylum paperwork.
An illegal will then receive a solicitation to register to vote in the mail from the government because they signed up for assistance. Just fill out and mail in the voter registration application provided with the solicitation letter (per interpretation of s 97.058). A solicitation letter from The Department of Children and Family Services to a person that appears to be a non-citizen based on a public records search is attached. The Spanish version is what was mailed.
Register to vote using your driver license or social security number. If you have neither, just check the box for no ID. No one checks to see if you are a citizen. They just check to see you checked the box on the application saying you are a citizen (per interpretation of s 98.045).
Vote. If you get caught plead plausible deniability or entrapment because you were solicited by the government to register to vote.
Here is the solicitation letter from Florida noted above:
Credit: JoeHoft.com
Translation:
“You have received this voter registration application because you answered “yes” to the voter preference question that was listed on the ACCESS Florida application or Medical Assistance application that asked if you wanted to register to vote, change your address for voting purposes or update your voting records.
Complete the Voter Registration application and submit it to your local county supervisor of elections office (see the addresses provided on the application to find your local county supervisor of elections) or to your local department of children and families office (DCF, for its acronym in English). If you would like assistance completing the voter registration application, please contact your local county Supervisor of Elections office or your local DC office.
Acceptance or rejection of the voter registration application, or assistance in completing the voter registration application, will not affect your eligibility for or the amount of public assistance benefits you may receive. If you believe that someone has unlawfully interfered with or prevented you from exercising your right to register to vote; to refuse to register to vote, to choose a political party, or if you believe that your right to privacy in choosing whether to register to vote or not has been violated, you may file a complaint with the Secretary of State, Florida Department of State, R. A. Building, 500 South Bronough Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250 or by calling 1-877-868-3737.”
In the above situation, which we believe is happening across the country, government officials are committing crimes. Here is what we know. (See the related regulations referred to at the end of this article.)
1) If Florida public assistance agencies are soliciting non-citizens to register to vote (as discussed in the above article BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: How Illegals Are Registered to Vote in Florida | Joe Hoft ), they are knowingly soliciting non-citizens to violate both state and federallaws. The DCFS voter registration solicitation letter does not even inform the recipient that it is against state and federal law to register to vote if you are not a U.S. citizen, so why would a recipient of the letter believe otherwise (s104.011, s 104.041; 18 U.S. Code § 611)?
2) Soliciting non-citizens to register to vote exposes public assistance officials to becoming felons because they are enabling ineligible voter registrations and voting (s 104.91).
3) Soliciting non-citizens to register to vote exposes election officials to becoming felons because current interpretation of s 98.045 is that verifying the citizenship box is checked on applications is sufficient, thus by not verifying citizenship using available DMV data they are enabling ineligible voter registrations and voting (s 104.91)
4) It is likely that multiple government agencies have or are soliciting non-citizens to register to vote, leading non-citizens to believe they are eligible to vote and then unknowingly become felons by unintentionally lying on the voter registration application. Under Florida statutes the following agencies may be conducting voter registrations to non-citizens: public libraries, centers for independent living, offices that serve persons with disabilities, food assistance program, Medicaid program, Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children, the Temporary Cash Assistance Program, and secondary and post-secondary education institutions.
5) Non-citizens who violate Florida election laws may be able to avoid prosecution by claiming entrapment or that they did not know they are breaking the law (s777.201, s 104.15)
6) If it is shown that enough non-citizens voted to change the outcome of an election, that election could be challenged based on (s102.168)
7) It is inconsistent interpretation of state and federal law that the FHSMV (DMV) does not offer voter registration to non-citizens while public service agencies do. Both organizations know based on documentation provided by an applicant if they are a non-citizen.
Only a citizen of the United States who is at least eighteen years of age and who is a permanent resident of the state, if registered as provided by law, shall be an elector of the county where registered.
A person registering to vote must subscribe to the following oath: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Florida, that I am qualified to register as an elector under the Constitution and laws of the State of Florida, and that all information provided in this application is true.”
(1) A person who willfully swears or affirms falsely to any oath or affirmation, or willfully procures another person to swear or affirm falsely to an oath or affirmation, in connection with or arising out of voting or elections commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
Whoever, knowing he or she is not a qualified elector, willfully votes at any election is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
(1) ELIGIBILITY OF APPLICANT.—The supervisor must ensure that any eligible applicant for voter registration is registered to vote and that each application for voter registration is processed in accordance with law. The supervisor shall determine whether a voter registration applicant is ineligible based on any of the following:
(a) The failure to complete a voter registration application as specified in s. 97.053.
(b) The applicant is deceased.
(c) The applicant has been convicted of a felony for which his or her voting rights have not been restored.
(d) The applicant has been adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to the right to vote and such right has not been restored.
(e) The applicant does not meet the age requirement pursuant to s. 97.041.
(f) The applicant is not a United States citizen.
(g) The applicant is a fictitious person.
(h) The applicant has provided an address of legal residence that is not his or her legal residence.
(i) The applicant has provided a driver license number, Florida identification card number, or the last four digits of a social security number that is not verifiable by the department.
Any person perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate or aid in the perpetration of any fraud in connection with any vote cast, to be cast, or attempted to be cast, is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
(1) A law enforcement officer, a person engaged in cooperation with a law enforcement officer, or a person acting as an agent of a law enforcement officer perpetrates an entrapment if, for the purpose of obtaining evidence of the commission of a crime, he or she induces or encourages and, as a direct result, causes another person to engage in conduct constituting such crime by employing methods of persuasion or inducement which create a substantial risk that such crime will be committed by a person other than one who is ready to commit it.
(2) A person prosecuted for a crime shall be acquitted if the person proves by a preponderance of the evidence that his or her criminal conduct occurred as a result of an entrapment. The issue of entrapment shall be tried by the trier of fact.
(a)It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, unless—
(1) the election is held partly for some other purpose;
(2) aliens are authorized to vote for such other purpose under a State constitution or statute or a local ordinance; and
(3) voting for such other purpose is conducted independently of voting for a candidate for such Federal offices, in such a manner that an alien has the opportunity to vote for such other purpose, but not an opportunity to vote for a candidate for any one or more of such Federal offices.
(b)Any person who violates this section shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
Under Section 7 of the NVRA, which offices must offer voter-registration services?
Any office in a covered State that provides either public assistance or state-funded programs primarily engaged in providing services to persons with disabilities must offer voter-registration services. Armed Forces recruitment offices must also provide voter registration services. In addition, a State must designate other offices in the State as voter-registration agencies. (See Question 15 below for a description of these other offices).
What is an office that provides public assistance under Section 7?
“Public assistance” offices that must offer voter-registration services under Section 7 of the NVRA include each agency and office in a State that administers or provides services or assistance under any public assistance programs. This includes any of the following federal public assistance programs: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly the Food-Stamp Program), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program (formerly the Aid to Families with Dependent Children or AFDC program), the Medicaid program, and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). This also includes state public assistance programs.
Entrapment is a complete defense to a criminal charge, on the theory that “Government agents may not originate a criminal design, implant in an innocent person’s mind the disposition to commit a criminal act, and then induce commission of the crime so that the Government may prosecute.” Jacobson v. United States, 503 U.S. 540, 548 (1992). A valid entrapment defense has two related elements: (1) government inducement of the crime, and (2) the defendant’s lack of predisposition to engage in the criminal conduct. Mathews v. United States, 485 U.S. 58, 63 (1988). Of the two elements, predisposition is by far the more important.

DuPage County Republican Chairman Jim Zay and Illinois Senate Minority Leader John Curran (R)
In part one The Gateway Pundit highlighted some examples of how Illinois is fast becoming a Communist state based on the style of legislation that is becoming law.
We further showed how Illinois Republicans appear more concerned about aligning with Democrats than promoting conservative policy. To say nothing about the corruption, the political conceptualization of the problem is wholly misinterpreted.
Terry Newsome and Paul Drabik of Behind Enemy Lines podcast attempted to work within the system. However, the system itself is constructed by Democrats and Republicans are just along for the ride.
Illinois suffered, and likely still suffers, from the 40 years of political control under the most powerful state politician in the country, Mike Madigan.
Madigan, representative of the 22nd District and Speaker of the Illinois House for over 30 years un-consecutively, constructed a patronage army that still wields power in Illinois state politics to this day.
Currently under Federal indictment, Madigan was able to patronize many people in the bureaucracy and unions with political favors. However, that power was also wielded within the legislative body. Akin to Nancy Pelosi-style House rules, Madigan was able to institute the following over the years:
Power to appoint and remove committee chairs
Power to give or take away $10K stipends for Committee Chairs
Ability to substitute members of committees to manipulate voting
SOLE POWER to dictate when a bill is voted on
Power to kill a bill before its heard via Rules committee control
These rules are merely a fraction of the totality of his control. Over the years this kind of power has effectively created a “frog in the boiling water” scenario for Illinois Republicans.
Madigan’s shrewd political power plays have shifted ALL politics in Illinois to the left. The current makeup of the legislature favors the Democrats in the House 78 to 40 and the Senate 40 to 19. Governor Pritzker enjoys his second term as of 2022.
Newsome & Drabik of Behind Enemy Lines podcast both became elected precinct committeemen only to find that things are just as bad at the local level of the Township organization.
Drabik worked as a contracted consultant for the local political organization and was told that combating pornography in schools was, “not how to get independent voters.”
Newsome approached State Senate Minority Leader John Curran whose daughter went to school with Newsome’s son. Newsome had asked the Senator to speak out against openly pornographic books like “Gender Queer” and was told that it would be “too political” if the Senator weighed in on the matter.
Former Speaker of the Illinois House Mike Madigan
Here are some images (pixilated) from the porn book for children Gender Queer where they actually show cartoon photos of two boys having oral sex.
Curran’s indifference regarding the pornographic material in the schools should not be surprising to anyone who is aware of the $30K in donations from the Illinois Teachers Union. These donations coincide with Curran’s support for Amendment 1. Amendment 1 is the most sweeping overstep for unions in the country giving unions plenary power through protection to collectively bargain via Illinois Constitutional Amendment.
Newsome and Drabik quickly found how deep the RINO infestation reaches. The podcast duo witnessed a fellow committeeman attempt to put a vote of censure to the Downers Grove Township Republican Organization regarding two County Republicans who donated to radical Soros funded prosecutor Kim Foxx.
The Chairman summarily dismissed the motion while breaking Parliamentary rules which govern the organization. Following standing ovations for Newsome and Drabik who challenged the organization during public comment, the Chairman proceeded to remove the public comment section from future meetings in August of 2023. This CENSORSHIP continues to this day.
Once he had the bully pulpit the chairman denigrated members who have had the courage, for years, to attend school board, village council, or library board meetings to speak out against issues like pornographic books available to children. According to the chairman these people are “radicals” and “anarchists.”
It appears the local hypocrisy is merely an echo of county-level RINOs. DuPage County Chairman, Jim Zay, disseminated a letter in April 2023 addressing the controversy of donations to Democrats from Republicans.
Zay dismissed the concerns of pay-for-play from Republicans to Democrats stating, “A Republican in elected office is better than one of the other party.” Zay also lamented the concerns about elections, “There are many saying our system is rigged but no one has brought any evidence forward.”
Zay is apparently unaware of the reporting by The Gateway Pundit which showed the analysis of the Illinois voter roll by civic group United Sovereign Americans.
The group analyzed a 4 year period where the Illinois population decreased by 150,000 but the voter roll increased by 650,000. In addition the analysis found, “…more than 4 million apparent registration violations…”
The same can be said in townships across Illinois. Grassroots movements are not to be tolerated. And yet, there’s a certain tone-deafness to the Illinois Republican Party. In 2022 the establishment candidate for governor, Mayor Richard Irvin of Aurora, lost the primary by a mind-blowing 43 points. Irvin was backed by a staggering amount of $50 million by Citadel CEO Ken Griffin.
The billionaire has since packed up his toys and pouted off to Florida. All the establishment Republicans pushed Irvin. Why, you ask? The overwhelming response to the peasant voting class was because he had a “better chance at beating Pritzker.”
These so-called Republicans have no conscious awareness of the Overton Window shifting their political perspective to the left through corruption and intimidation. The perception is “Illinois is a blue state.”
Without the industrial level corruption of someone like Mike Madigan would that be true? Are people in Illinois really radical leftists? Perhaps perception has inverted reality. And perhaps, a Republican Senate minority leader voting to give public unions Constitutional power to collectively bargain is just a Democrat in Republican clothing.

The Biden White House claims to have heralded “a great year for American workers” with more jobs created “during any year of the prior Administration.” However, most are part-time or government jobs, paid for by taxpayers. Additionally, the constant influx of illegal immigrants distorts the job market.
The March jobs report shows 303,000 new jobs added. However, most of the jobs were part-time. Meanwhile, year-over-year creation of full-time positions has been in recession territory since December. Even these part-time jobs are largely going to immigrants, including illegal immigrants. Consequently, considering both part-time and full-time employment, there have been almost no jobs created for citizens.
Nearly one-quarter of the new jobs are government jobs, paid for by taxpayers. This percentage is about double the norm for government job creation, which typically falls between 10 and 12 percent. In addition to the fact that government jobs drain taxpayer funds, they also do not represent an investment in the future. Jobs created by a private company today, if successful, will grow and create more jobs in the future. Private companies develop new industries, products, and services that facilitate investment and the development of other private companies. This is why the US economy is much more robust than the economy of a centrally planned, communist country.
Even in communist China, the rapid economic growth of the past few decades was led by the private sector, not the public sector. Another problem with a growing public sector is that it draws talent away from the private sector. People who might otherwise have been inventive or innovative, creating something new in the private sector, will be absorbed into government jobs that produce nothing.
In addition to there not being enough full-time jobs, the job market is also plagued by swings and fluctuations. Inflation is a constant feature of the Biden economy, making markets more susceptible to speculation regarding Fed policy. Usually, as election time nears, the sitting president, running for reelection, will decide that the level of inflation is too low and will cut interest rates to induce an illusory job boom. Signals from the White House and the Fed suggest that they are mulling over such a destructive move now, despite the fact that the US still faces high inflation and has suffered cumulative inflation of over 18% since Biden took office.
Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan is an example of a shortsighted policy that will give people the illusion of a better economy. People who will have thousands of dollars’ worth of debt wiped clean will feel instant relief and forget that every product they buy is more expensive than under Trump. As a populist move, those wishing to have their current or future college debts erased will also vote for Biden.
Like any other government transfer, the student loan forgiveness program is transferring money from taxpayers—who may or may not have been able to afford college—to people who borrowed money, attended college, and will now enjoy the economic benefits of an education at the expense of others. The trillions Biden is giving away through this and other programs, which began during COVID, are driving up the deficit, increasing the debt, and eroding the dollar’s buying power.
There are areas where job creation and real economic growth could be fostered, such as by increasing Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) exports. The energy industry creates highly paid, full-time jobs for non-college graduates, which is something this country is running short of. However, Biden caved to the climate crowd and has halted approvals for export certifications for LNG, a commodity whose price has nearly tripled since sanctions on Russian energy exports reduced the supply to Europe and the world.
Cutting these LNG jobs and revenues is considered a victory for climate activists. However, the Energy and Commerce Committee, along with more than 150 House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., are working to reverse Biden’s ban on LNG. They argue that demand will remain the same, while Biden is effectively cutting the supply, thus driving up prices. Expanding US LNG exports would bring down prices, create jobs, increase the size of the US economy, and afford the US diplomatic advantages, bringing the US closer to its European allies.
If the Biden economy is considered good, perhaps we should revert to the supposedly bad economy under Trump, where inflation was low, unemployment was low, gas prices were low, illegal immigration was being addressed, and Russia dared not invade Ukraine.
Tucker Carlson weighed in on the end of democracy in America today.
For the third straight election cycle secretive federal agencies are trying to rig our presidential election.
In fact, did the secretive federal agencies ever stop their attacks on Trump and his supporters since 2016? We know of several pro-Trump groups and individuals who were ruined or who are currently being destroyed by the radical Democrats and their allies in the federal government.
Now they are trying to ruin pro-Trump groups and supporters financially and they have the legacy media to cover for them.
We found our earlier this week that the FBI and CIA are even targeting conservative media outlets like Alex Jones (and Gateway Pundit?) for financial ruin.
As Tucker Carlson says in his monologue below – they call this “democracy.”
TUCKER CARLSON: “A few years ago, we learned conclusively that, in fact, the FBI and the federal intel agencies, the dozen or more federal intel agencies we have, for some reason, had been working secretly against Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Trump had whispered about this, then shouted about it, was roundly denounced as a conspiracy nut, a lunatic. But in the end, he was vindicated.
“It was true. These agencies spied on Trump, and they leaked some of what they’d learned to the media, which used it against Trump. Then these agencies concocted false stories about Trump. They tried to crush Trump completely in 2016, and then for the entire course of his presidency. Then they did the same thing in 2020 during the presidential election, and they’re doing it still. They’re trying to put him in prison for the rest of his life.
“So, if you take three steps back, what you have here is what we’re seeing now. For the third time in three consecutive cycles, secretive federal agencies are trying to rig our presidential election. This is what the democrats refer to as “democracy,” and they’re trying to defend it.
“But, of course, it’s the opposite of democracy. It’s, in fact, the end of democracy in any semblance of a constitutional republic we ever had. If you have a secret police force threatening people, spying on them, and working, secretly, the levers of political power, then you don’t have a democracy. You have no control over, really, anything as a voter.”
What an important statement.

The House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government is currently hosting a hearing on freedom of the press and protecting journalists, as the Biden Regime attempts to infringe on the rights of the press and shape news stories to fit their narrative.
Rep Chip Roy opened the hearing at 9:30 am ET, remarking, “Today’s hearing is about defending our fundamental liberty and protecting journalists and their sources from these attacks. We will examine the federal government’s infringement on the freedom of the press and examine the prospects for federal shield law.”
Witnesses include investigative journalists Catherine Herridge and Sharyl Attkisson and Chief Broadcast Officer at SAG-AFTRA News & Broadcast Department Mary Cavallaro.
Recall that last month, Catherine Herridge, an Emmy-winning and nominated reporter known for her work on national security and intelligence, was held in civil contempt by an Obama-appointed federal judge for her refusal to unmask her confidential sources related to a blockbuster story on how there is infiltration from China in US universities.
The judge ordered Herridge to turn over her source(s) in response to a lawsuit that was filed by Chinese-American scientist Yanping Chen against the FBI. Chen subpoenaed Herridge in an effort to find out who her sources were. When Herridge refused, she was threatened with contempt charges and potential jail time.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government will hold a hearing on Thursday, April 11, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. ET. The hearing, “Fighting for a Free Press: Protecting Journalists and their Sources,” will examine the federal government’s infringement on the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of the press, as well as federal shield law proposals.

The Tripolskaya thermal power plant is the largest in the Kiev region, and it supplied energy to Kiev, Cherkasskaya and Zhytomyr regions. According to Ukrainian officials, it has been completely destroyed.
Chasov Yar.
But perhaps the most relevant developments of the last few days has been on the ground assault targeting the fortified key city of Chasov Yar, in the Donetsk oblast.
Russian Federation forces have held to their foothold on the eastern outskirts of the city and are now in the process of expanding the bridgehead.
Watch: Chasov Yar is on fire. Artillery, missiles, drones and glide bombs target the city.
Ukrainian Commander in Chief Oleksandr Syrsky started to transfer additional troops to the area, because the defenders are taking huge losses, and they must not only be replenished, but he also needs to find reserves for constant counterattacks.
Kiev is trying to retake the area of the eastern part of the ‘Canal’ district, as Russians took control of the first high-rise building.
All day long the air force bombed the complex of buildings of the vocational school, turned into an important defense point.
All day long, a fierce battle develops in the ‘blue Stupki’ canal.
Watch: armored vehicle destroyed along with the personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Keeping with its ‘death by a thousand cuts’ strategy, the Russians are making the overpowered and outmaneuvered defenders to pull reserves to the area of Chasov Yar thereby simplifying the situation in neighboring areas.
If we take a bird’s eye view of the battle, it becomes clear how Russian army is advancing on Chasov Yar with a ‘triple strike’ tactic: simultaneously delivering a frontal attack from the east and with a double pincer movement along the flanks both in the south and in the north.
Watch: work of Russian air force in Chasov Yar area.
Russian sources report that intercepted AFU radio traffic reveal constant requests by the Ukrainian Armed Forces for authorization to retreat, but the command’s orders is to stand ‘to the end’.
In the northern ‘pincer’ advance, the attackers entered the village Bogdanovka, occupying the outskirts of the settlement closest to Chyasov Yar.
This unfolds not unlike previous city sieges in this war, and by now, there are reportedly acts of insubordination by some of the Ukrainian troops.
A third assault brigade of the Azov Nazi battalion has yet again refused to obey a command’s order, this time to enter the city to hold it.
Brigade commanders reportedly already consider Chasov Yar lost for the Ukrainian military.
The Azov brigade had previously similarly refused to enter the key city of Avdeevka curing its conquest in February.
As TMZ notes, news of Simpson’s battle with cancer first emerged in February but details were cloudy at the time. Moreover, Simpson claimed back in 2023 that he had “caught” some form of cancer but believed he had beaten it.
Few individuals have ever experienced the fall from grace O.J. Simpson experienced in his years alive.
Simpson emerged into the spotlight as an all-American running back for the USC Trojans and won the Heisman trophy his senior season in 1968, along with the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award. After graduating, he was selected by the Buffalo Bills as the number one overall pick in the 1969 draft.
Simpson spent the next nine seasons with the team before spending the last two with the San Francisco 49ers. He retired as the 2nd all-time leading rusher in NFL history (he is now 21st). He was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
He then embarked on a movie career, starring in all three Naked Gun movies alongside the legendary Leslie Nielsen. Simpson also worked as a commentator for Monday Night Football and The NFL on NBC.
But everything changed forever on June 12, 1994 when his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were found brutally murdered. Five days later, all TVs were focused on the most infamous Bronco chase in American history, when Simpson eventually surrendered to police and was charged with their murders.
Thanks to prosecution missteps and world-class gaslighting by a defense team led by the late Johnnie Cochran, Simpson was found not guilty of murdering Brown Simpson and Goldman on October 3, 1995.
Here was the moment:
Simpson was later found liable for the murders in civil trial and ordered to pay millions of dollars in damages (which he never did).
But Simpson experienced what many consider a bit of karma several years later. In 2007, he was accused of breaking into a Vegas hotel room in an attempt to recover sports memorabilia that he believed had been stolen from him. He confronted the owner with several of his cronies, armed with weapons.
On December 5, 2008, Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison with eligibility for parole in nine years. On July 20, 2017, Simpson was granted parole.
He remained in Vegas after getting out of prison where he remained until his death.

Lily Fang Williams, who survived Chinese communist regime, confronts David Hogg on his gun-grabbing agenda.
David Hogg is back in the news.
The Parkland High School graduate became of darling of the left when he came out against gun rights following the horrible shooting at his high school by a deranged youth who had been on the FBI radar for months before his homicidal attack that left 17 dead.
On Wednesday night David Hogg was confronted at a town hall in New Hampshire by a woman who survived communism in China.
Lily Tang Williams exposed Hogg and the gun grabbers.
Lily Tang Williams: “Hi, my name is Lily Tang Williams. Welcome to my ‘Live Free or Die’ state. Actually, I am a Chinese immigrant who survived communism. And under Mao, 40 million people were starving to death after he sold the communism to them. And 20 million people died, murdered during his cultural revolution.
So my question to you, David, is that can you guarantee me, a gun owner tonight, our government in the US, in DC, will never, never become a tyrannical government? Can you guarantee that to me?
David Hogg: There’s no way I can ever guarantee that any government will not be tyrannical.
Lily Tang Williams: Well, then the debate on gun control is over because I will never give up my guns. Never, never. And you should go to China to see how gun control works for dictatorship of CCP.”

Biden’s Justice Department has announced the implementation of the “Engaged in the Business” Final Rule on Thursday.
This rule seeks to redefine what it means to be engaged in the business of selling firearms, a measure that extends the requirement for a federal firearms license to individuals selling guns at shows and online for profit.
This expansion of background checks is yet another overreach by the Biden regime, infringing on Second Amendment rights.
The Final Rule aims to close the so-called “gun show loophole,” ensuring that all gun dealers, regardless of where they sell firearms, comply with federal background check requirements.
Firearms Policy Coalition wrote, “There’s no such thing as a “gun-show loophole,” and despite everything wrong with this despotic overreach, ATF even makes this clear when answering the public comments of “supporters.” Your intentionally deceitful commentary mirrors that of history’s most vile government actors.”
There’s no such thing as a “gun-show loophole,” and despite everything wrong with this despotic overreach, ATF even makes this clear when answering the public comments of “supporters.”
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland claimed that profitability from gun sales, irrespective of the venue, mandates licensure and background checks.
“Under this regulation, it will not matter if guns are sold on the internet, at a gun show, or at a brick-and-mortar store: if you sell guns predominantly to earn a profit, you must be licensed, and you must conduct background checks,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “This regulation is a historic step in the Justice Department’s fight against gun violence. It will save lives.”
WATCH:
Today, the Justice Department has announced the “Engaged in the Business” Final Rule – an updated and clear definition of who must obtain a license and conduct a background check before selling firearms.
— U.S. Department of Justice (@TheJusticeDept) April 11, 2024
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) of June 2022 expanded the scope of who is considered to be in the firearms dealing business, a move supported by Biden’s Executive Order 14092. It was the first major federal gun control bill passed in nearly 30 years.
“Our Administration is taking historic action to reduce the number of firearms sold without background checks. This will help keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and felons. Now, Congress needs to do its part and pass universal background checks,” the White House said in a statement.
NEW: Our Administration is taking historic action to reduce the number of firearms sold without background checks. This will help keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and felons.
While the intent is to allegedly enhance public safety, the Final Rule imposes onerous restrictions on lawful gun owners and dealers, potentially criminalizing ordinary citizens who occasionally sell firearms.
Licensed dealers are required to maintain sales transaction records. The regulation also aims to clamp down on unlicensed dealing, which the regime views as a significant loophole that undermines public safety efforts.
This move is an attempt to impose stricter control over gun ownership and trading, impose undue burdens on small sellers, and infringe upon constitutional rights.
The regulation could potentially criminalize ordinary Americans who sell firearms without a federal license, even if their selling activities are infrequent or conducted on a small scale. Moreover, concerns have been raised about the potential for this rule to affect genuine hobbyists and collectors, who may now fear prosecution for engaging in what they perceive as lawful activities.
This is a regulatory rule, not a law enacted by Congress. It is likely to be challenged and overturned in courts.
Pediatrician and consultant Hilary Cass conducted a comprehensive and lengthy review of international research into gender medicine for children for NHS England. She concludes that a lack of research and evidence on transgender medical interventions such as puberty blockers and body-altering surgeries is failing children.
“The pillars of gender medicine are ‘built on shaky foundations,'” Dr. Cass has said, and evidence was found to be severely lacking on the impacts of puberty blockers and hormone treatments on children.
Dr. Cass further stated that healthcare for people questioning their gender “needs to be improved across the board.” Still, there is a marked and essential distinction “between having a trans identity and medically transitioning.”
In a piece for the British Medical Journal (BMJ), Dr. Cass stated that while medicine is usually based on the pillars of integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values and preferences, she “found that in gender medicine those pillars are built on shaky foundations”.
In compiling the comprehensive report, she envisioned a six-month part-time review. But it became a “24-hour-a-day obsession to try to help improve things.”
There is no simple explanation for the increase in the numbers of predominantly young people and young adults who have a trans or gender diverse identity, but there is broad agreement that it is a result of a complex interplay between biological, psychological and social factors. This balance of factors will be different in each individual.
There are conflicting views about the clinical approach, with expectations of care at times being far from usual clinical practice. This has made some clinicians fearful of working with gender-questioning young people, despite their presentation being similar to many children and young people presenting to other NHS services.
An appraisal of international guidelines for care and treatment of children and young people with gender incongruence found that that no single guideline could be applied in its entirety to the NHS in England.
While a considerable amount of research has been published in this field, systematic evidence reviews demonstrated the poor quality of the published studies, meaning there is not a reliable evidence base upon which to make clinical decisions, or for children and their families to make informed choices.
The strengths and weaknesses of the evidence base on the care of children and young people are often misrepresented and overstated in scientific publications and social debate.
The controversy surrounding the use of medical treatments has taken the focus away from what individualized care and treatment are intended to achieve for individuals seeking support from NHS gender services.
The rationale for early puberty suppression remains unclear, with weak evidence regarding the impact on gender dysphoria and mental or psychosocial health. The effect on cognitive and psychosexual development remains unknown.
The use of masculinising / feminising hormones in those under the age of 18 also presents many unknowns, despite their longstanding use in the adult transgender population. The lack of long-term follow-up data on those commencing treatment at an earlier age means we have inadequate information about the range of outcomes for this group.
Clinicians are unable to determine with any certainty which children and young people will go on to have an enduring trans identity.
For most young people, a medical pathway will not be the best way to manage their gender-related distress. For those young people for whom a medical pathway is clinically indicated, it is not enough to provide this without also addressing wider mental health and/or psychosocially challenging problems.
Innovation is important if medicine is to move forward, but there must be a proportionate level of monitoring, oversight and regulation that does not stifle progress, while preventing creep of unproven approaches into clinical practice. Innovation must draw from and contribute to the evidence base.
Author J.K. Rowling offered insight into the implications of the study.
Over the last four years, Hilary Cass has conducted the most robust review of the medical evidence for transitioning children that’s ever been conducted. Mere hours after it was released to the press and public, committed ideologues are doubling down. 1/6 https://t.co/J4fA4JYgkC
Whining by child mutilation fans led to a brutal community note on X.
Chair of the Chair of Scottish Labour Students, Emma Russell, wrote on X, “The Cass Review is a methodologically flawed, ideologically led study that isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. The Labour Party, and Wes Streeting, must stand against the erosion of trans rights and trans healthcare provisions. This is absolutely vital.”
Community notes hit back hard, “Far from being ‘methodologically flawed’ and ‘ideologically led’ the study by Dr Cass has been 4 years in the making and was conducted by a former President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. The poster is the idealogue.”

‘I strongly suggest that you do not treat this lightly, congressman’
Comments by members of Congress, even stupid and irrational, mostly are protected by the “speech and debate” clause of the Constitution – as long as the comments are part of the legislative process.
But now a letter from a legal team representing congressional witness Tony Bobulinski is charging that U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin, the Democrat from Maryland most famous for leading the impeachment case against former President Trump, stepped outside of that authority when he publicly slammed the witness, who has provided key evidence to Congress in its investigation into the evidence for impeaching Joe Biden.
In fact, according to the letter from lawyers Jesse Binnall and John C. Sullivan, representing Bobulinski, Raskin “mocked” various witnesses to Congress and posted a “freeze frame” that shows Bobulinski, with the chyron, “A disgruntled Wannabe Business Partner Turned Trump World Hype man.”
Raskin further publicly described Bobulinski as “a bitterly frustrated would be business partner who collaborated with the Trump campaign” and a “dubious” witness. And he called Bobulinski a “political pawn” and accused him of lying.
The letter warns Raskin, “You are not entitled to any immunity for your defamatory statements. The Speech and Debate Clause comes from Article I, Section 6, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution, and it includes, in relevant part: ‘for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.'”
But that only protects activities “undertaken in the House and Senate,” and provides no immunity “beyond its carefully defined scope,” the lawyers warn. “Anything that is not a legislative activity will not be protected.”
The letter warns Raskin, “Your statements are derogatory falsehoods, rendering them legally actionable. Your pattern of maliciously defaming Mr. Bobulinski is well-established and will not be tolerated.”
The lawyers explain that they will file litigation over Raskin’s public and social media statements “if you fail to delete and publicly retract recent defamatory statements and publications you made about Mr. Bobulinski, including on X (formerly Twitter). Be further advised that you should identify and preserve all hard copy and electronically stored documents, information, and data that relate, in any way, to the subject matter of your incessantly malicious defamatory conduct. It was a mistake to believe that your publications were made without consequence. It must, and will, stop immediately.”
The lawyers also cite “evidence” of Raskin’s “malice,” in that he’s following a “blind adherence to a preconceived narrative.”
Bobulinski, a onetime business associate of Hunter Biden, has provided testimony to Congress that confirms the influence peddling operations run by the Biden family, which generated millions for family members, was focused on access to Joe Biden, who was, in fact, party to those operations.
Bobulinski, during his appearance in Congress, called leftists in the body liars, and a ruling from the committee found that he was not out of order in doing so.
The Borderline Dance team, a regional women’s country line dance team, was invited to the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle last weekend to perform by event organizers, the Rain Country Dance Association.
Rain Country Dance Association describes itself as creating “a friendly environment for LGBTQ people and friends to meet and dance in the Pacific Northwest. We support this Country Western dance community by providing opportunities to dance, learn, and perform. We cater to the LGBTQ community of Seattle and Greater Puget Sound but are open to all.”
However, The Borderline Dance team’s American flag-themed shirts resulted in them being “effectively kicked out” of the event because some attendees felt “triggered and unsafe.”
The team shared a statement on Facebook:
Over the last two days, we have been answering dozens of calls and messages from friends and family. Feelings have ranged all the way from outrage to sympathy to disbelief. We want to make sure there is complete understanding and truth surrounding the events of Saturday.
I’ll try to make this as short as possible. Our Dance Team along with a few others were scheduled to perform at the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle on Saturday. They’ve been asking us for three years to perform but because of their Covid restrictions, we have been unable to until this year. Dance teams work their boots off preparing for performances like these. Extra practices, babysitters, ferry rides, hours upon hours of practice and commute time and time away from their families. We all were very excited to perform for this event. Unfortunately, what our team was met with upon arrival was that our flag tops were offensive to some of the convention goers. There was a small group that felt “triggered and unsafe”. They had several claims for this reasoning. Mostly associated with the situation in Palestine and the Trans community in America. At first we were told we would just be boo’d, yelled at and likely many of them would walk out. This did not deter us. But then we were given an ultimatum. Remove the flag tops and perform in either street clothes (which most didn’t bring as they traveled there in their uniforms) or they would supply us with ECH shirts from years past… Or, don’t perform at all, which effectively was asking us to leave. Also, here is a link to their website that shows the pictures of our teams in our uniforms. So they would have known what we were going to wear.
We don’t speak for our team, we speak on behalf of them so the choice was theirs. As we knew would happen because there really was no choice in our minds, it was a unanimous NO.
We were not alone in this. Our friends, West Coast Country Heat, who were also scheduled to dance for the convention that evening also did not perform as they too proudly don the colors of our country in the same spirit of patriotism that we do. Both of our teams stood in solidarity and put actions to words.
Now, for the silver lining. Firstly, watching these teams band together was the greatest performance I’ve ever seen. These people are strong, resolute and unwavering in their patriotism. They are the families and friends of people who have suffered the unimaginable so that we may all have our own opinions and sleep soundly in our beds at night. THAT is why we wear the colors. Because although we may not always agree with the current state of things, we recognize that being an American means true FREEDOM. We all understood and accepted this and walked out with class and dignity despite the discrimination we had experienced.
Secondly, the support that we got from the majority of the community and even several of the organizers was amazing. We had individuals from ALL walks of life approach us and the message was clear “we want you”. The outpouring of love and respect was inspiring. There was also a lot of disappointment there. Disappointment in the community they are supposed to feel safe in. Disappointment that the spirit of this event, which is to share our love of country dance, was overshadowed by the political opinions of a small percentage. We only wanted to entertain. We didn’t get to do that but we did get to make new friends and build some bridges that maybe wouldn’t have been possible without this incident.
Ill leave it with this. May you never find yourself in a position where your freedom truly is taken from you. May you always have the choice to agree or disagree with whatever situation you find yourself in. And may you always protect someone else’s freedom to do the same. Whether it be in your favor or not.
Rain Country Dance Association shared a statement on Facebook addressing the controversy.
Hi y’all! After the close of another amazing Hoedown weekend, we know there are some questions about the Saturday night performance line-up. We appreciate y’all giving us the time to clear up misunderstandings and address the situation with people directly involved. We will be posting a follow-up statement later this week once we are able to have those conversations.
Board president Ziadee Cambier responded to a critic on Facebook saying, “Hello Rose, thank you for your feedback. This is Ziadee, Board President. We will be in continued communication with the captains of the dance teams that were slated to perform Saturday. To clarify, as this was not a competition, no one was disqualified and no one was asked to leave. While we are mending our relationships directly with the dance teams we will be disabling comments on this post. We will be sharing more information later this week, to hopefully clear up any misunderstandings.”
Special Counsel Jack Smith suggested he ignore the Supreme Court if it reverses the obstruction statute this summer.
The US Supreme Court recently announced it will hear oral arguments in Fischer v. United States and at issue is statute 18 USC §1512(c)(2):
Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on Fischer v United States this summer which means hundreds of J6 cases could be upended.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ has charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case are conspiracy to obstruct so the Supreme Court’s ruling could torpedo the special counsel’s case against Trump as well.
Jack Smith suggested he will find a workaround if the Supreme Court reverses two of the charges against Trump.
Smith claims the ‘obstruction’ charges will still stand against Trump because the alternative electoral certificates represent “documents” that were fraudulently used in an “official proceeding.”
These papers weren’t even sent or signed by Trump!
Just when you thought Jack Smith’s J6 case against Donald Trump couldn’t get any more laughable–it just did.
In one week, SCOTUS will hear arguments on DOJ’s (ab)use of 1512c2, post Enron document shredding “obstruction of an official proceeding” statute passed in 2002.
A decision in Fischer’s favor would seemingly negate the two 1512(c)-related charges against Trump and “upend hundreds of charges filed by federal prosecutors against those present at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot,” according to Justice.
In an apparent attempt to sidestep such a ruling, however, Smith argued in his Monday brief that even if SCOTUS deems the DOJ’s use of 1512(c)(2) unlawful, the related charges filed against Trump should still stand because Trump somehow impaired evidence for use in an official proceeding.
“Petitioner asserts … that the grant of review in Fischer v. United States … suggests that the Section 1512(c)(2) charges here impermissibly stretch the statute. But whether the Court interprets Section 1512(c)(2) consistently with a natural reading of its text or adopts the evidence-impairment gloss urged by the petitioner in Fischer, the Section 1512 charges in this case are valid,” Smith wrote, additionally claiming that “the use of falsehoods or creation of ‘false’ documents satisfies an evidence-impairment interpretation.”
Jack Smith isn’t the only one who is threatening to circumvent the Supreme Court.
Last month US Attorney from DC Matthew Graves fired a warning shot to the US Supreme Court – and J6ers serving time for 18 USC §1512(c)(2), the ‘obstruction’ statute pending before SCOTUS.

After warning us for months that 2024 could see another deadly pandemic, the medical establishment and governmental health organizations are sounding the alarm bells on bird flu.
Not only are they drawing comparisons to COVID-19, they are in fact claiming that bird flu has the potential to be 100 TIMES MORE DEADLY!
Fear Mongering, Food Supply Threat, Virus with a Deadly Past, BARDA Self-Amplifying mRNA Vaccines–A Perfect Storm is Brewing . . .
Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum (WEF) believe we should reduce our reliance on animal food products as part of their globalist views. Thus, a food scare in westernized countries with market recalls and destruction of poultry and meat would further dystopian goals for the Davos club]. H5N1 has a historical fatality rate of 52.16% in humans and fear alone could drive considerable anxiety in large populations not only about exposure through food, but pets, and other humans.
It’s difficult to determine if H5N1 is the next ‘Disease X’ at the moment. It’s possible due to the abundance of GOF research and biotech interests, ready-made vaccines, and powerful drivers of mass panic in the wings. If more cases occur in clusters or bona fide outbreaks with human-to-human transmission, we could be well on our way to a 2024 avian influenza pandemic crisis.
Be Prepared
Now is not the time to panic, nor is this the time to be complacent – now is the time to be prepared.
Be PREPARED, not SCARED! Get the prescription drugs you need to keep your family safe from bird flu, COVID, or whatever the globalists throw at us next!
We know what the globalists did in 2020, and we know they will do whatever they can to maintain power, which makes 2024 a potentially very dangerous year for Americans.
The Wellness Company and its great doctors – like Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Drew, Dr. Harvey Risch, and Dr. Jim Thorp – are regularly in the media fighting against the broken medical establishment.
Dr. Thorp, one of the nation’s leading critics of corrupt Big Pharma, believes that now – more than ever – people should be prepared for the next pandemic:
“I’ve strongly recommended “stockpiling” critical medications including antibiotics since the turn of the century. This has been an incredible investment as many friends, family, and patients have benefited. Now, in the winter of 2024, this recommendation is even more crucial.”
This kit is prescription-only – you can’t find it in any store or pharmacy. Simply fill out a short questionnaire after purchase and a trusted Wellness Company doctor will confirm your suitability and issue your prescription Contagion Kit.
This is the perfect emergency kit at the perfect price. Every home should have this for peace of mind. – Rebecca B.
This is absolutely great! I encourage everyone to buy one of these for emergencies!! – Melody H.
Peace of mind. It is an amazing peace of mind to have this kit in case of emergencies and shortages. The Wellness Company did an excellent job of getting this to me in a timely manner and I and thankful to have it. – Phyllis T.

On Wednesday night, Joe Biden hosted a state dinner for Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishidaw with several elitist leftists in attendance as guests, including one infamous couple.
As the New York Post reported, Bill and Hillary Clinton showed up alongside several Big Tech billionaires, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Apple CEO Tim Cook. The Post notes the Clintons were joined at the head table by deranged actor Robert De Niro in the White House East Room.
Upon arrival, Hillary caught some unwanted attention online with her choice of clothing during the event. As one can see in the photo above, she is wearing what appears to be a bizarre Moo-Moo dress, somewhat resembling a shower curtain.
Conservative commentators Benny Johnson and Ian Miles Cheong asked their followers for their thoughts on Hillary’s outfit, betting they would get colorful responses. Not surprisingly, they had some brutal replies in store.
In an exclusive interview with People Magazine, Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey shared that there is an “initiation process” in Hollywood.
The star of Lincoln Lawyer shared with People Magazine that he’s had his highs and lows as an actor but essentially had to find out the hard way how Hollywood operates.
McConaughey stated, “Overall, I believe there’s been inherent goodwill for me, but it did not keep me from figuring out my own initiation into the industry.”
“There’s a lot of things you learn ten years after being in Hollywood, and you go, ‘Well, why didn’t they tell me that in year two?’ Because there’s an initiation process.” added McConaughey.
In an interview with People, McConaughey shared that there’s an “initiation process” in the industry, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“I, like anyone, have had my ups and downs,” he told the outlet.
The Texas native went on to explain that after having skin in the Hollywood game, he wondered why nobody had given him tips and tricks earlier on.
“There’s a lot of things you learn 10 years after being in Hollywood and you go, ‘Well, why didn’t they tell me that in year two?’ Because there’s an initiation process,” he told the outlet.
In recent years, McConaughey’s name has been mentioned as a potential candidate for Governor of Texas.
In 2022, Biden invited McConaughey to the White House briefing room to speak about gun violence legislation following the mass school shooting in McConaughey’s hometown, Uvalde, Texas.
Senator Rand Paul has publicly declared his intent to delve deeper into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic by examining what he describes as ‘secret off the books’ trips made by Dr. Anthony Fauci to the CIA prior to the outbreak.
The Kentucky senator and medical doctor revealed to DailyMail.com that his ongoing investigation aims to uncover the full scope of Fauci’s interactions with the CIA, especially given the intelligence agency’s ambiguous stance on the pandemic’s origins.
Dr. Fauci, who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) until his recent departure, is under scrutiny for his alleged frequent, undisclosed visits to the CIA.
While the Department of Energy and FBI lean towards the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, the CIA’s official position remains that the virus probably originated from animals.
“We have another whistleblower from the CIA that says that the scientific committee that was commissioned to look into the origins of the virus actually voted six to one that it came from the lab and that they were overruled by superiors at the CIA,” Paul told DailyMail.
In 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported that a CIA whistleblower had stepped forward, claiming the CIA manipulated the investigation into the origins of COVID-19. According to letters from House Coronavirus Subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, the CIA offered “significant monetary incentives” to officials to shift their findings.
House Coronavirus Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH 2nd District) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH 10th District) sent a separate letter to CIA Director William Burns and former CIA COO Andrew Makridis, shedding new light on the agency’s actions regarding the origins of COVID-19.
“The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (Select Subcommittee) and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) (together “the Committees”) have received new and concerning whistleblower testimony regarding the Agency’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19,” according to Wenstrup and Turner’s letter to CIA Director William Burns on Tuesday.
“A multi-decade, senior-level, current Agency officer has come forward to provide information to the Committees regarding the Agency’s analysis into the origins of COVID-19,” the letter read.
The CIA assigned seven officers to a specialized COVID Discovery Team to investigate the COVID-19 origin.
According to a high-ranking whistleblower within the CIA, the agency offered “significant monetary incentives” to officials on a COVID-19 investigative team to alter their positions on the virus’s origin. Initially, six of the seven members of this COVID Discovery Team were leaning towards a “low confidence assessment” that the virus likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory.
According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The seventh member of the Team, who also happened to be the most senior, was the lone officer to believe COVID-19 originated through zoonosis,” Wenstrup and Turner wrote.
“The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” they added.
Senator Paul’s investigation also encompasses the financial aspects, including a notable increase in the NIAID budget for biomedical weapons research under Fauci.
In 2015, the NIH, under the direction of Dr. Tony Fauci, awarded a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Paul disclosed that Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was friendly with the CIA – which is notably one of the few federal agencies that still has not clearly established COVID-19 origins.
‘The CIA officially still says [COVID-19 is] probably from animals,’ Paul said. ‘We also have stories, rumors and innuendo that Fauci was a frequent visitor off the books to the CIA.’
He pointed to how the CIA disagrees with findings from the Department of Energy and FBI that have said the the pandemic likely originated from a leak at a Wuhan, China, lab.
And that though an initial CIA assessment found the lab leak theory was likely, senior officials in the agency overruled their findings.
The agency’s reversal and its secretive meetings with Fauci are suspicious, Paul said.
On Tuesday, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released a stunning report in which he discovered that 15 different federal agencies knew that the Wuhan laboratory in China was trying to create a COVID-19 virus since 2018.
Not one single official or employee in these 15 agencies revealed the truth to the American public during the pandemic.
How vast was the Great COVID Cover-up? Well, my investigation has recently discovered government officials from 15 federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was trying to create a coronavirus like COVID-19.
These officials knew that the Chinese lab was proposing to create a COVID 19-like virus and not one of these officials revealed this scheme to the public. In fact, 15 agencies with knowledge of this project have continuously refused to release any information concerning this alarming and dangerous research.
Government officials representing at least 15 federal agencies were briefed on a project proposed by Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
This project, the DEFUSE project, proposed to insert a furin cleavage site into a coronavirus to create a novel chimeric virus that would have been shockingly similar to the COVID-19 virus.
What does this mean?
It means that at least 15 federal agencies knew from the beginning of the pandemic that EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology were seeking federal funding in 2018 to create a virus genetically very similar if not identical to COVID-19.
We all know that consistency isn’t one of the Biden administration’s strong suits. In the most recent displays of this, Karine Jean-Pierre is grilled by FOX News reporter Jacqui Heinrich on the administration’s treatment and rhetoric surrounding Republicans vs. radical Islamists in our country. Take a wild guess as to who they side with.
Joe Biden’s illegal alien invaders mass at the Rio Grande before crossing into Texas.
Over 11 million illegal aliens crossed the open border with Mexico since Joe Biden took office. The Biden administration has no idea how many entered the country, who they are, or where they went.
In late March Islamic terrorists attacked a major music venue located in Krasnogorsk, a city in the north-west of the Moscow region, on a Friday afternoon. This occurred just days after the American embassy in Russia warned citizens of imminent attacks at mass events.
145 Russians were slaughtered by the terrorists during the attack.
Russia blamed the attack on foreign Islamists who were then captured on their escape route to Ukraine.
On Wednesday, Chris Wray warned Congress that there is concern of a future coordinated attack on the US weeks after the Crocus Theater attack.
Now they warn us!… after three years of open borders!
FBI Director Christopher Wray will warn lawmakers later Thursday that there is a growing fear among law enforcement officials of a “coordinated attack” inside the US — weeks after an ISIS assault on a concert hall in Moscow killed 145 people and wounded hundreds more.
“Our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home,” Wray will tell a House Appropriations subcommittee.
“But now, increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia concert hall a couple weeks ago.”
On March 22, four gunmen affiliated with ISIS-K, a terrorist group that largely operates out of Afghanistan and Pakistan, stormed Moscow’s Crocus City Hall ahead of a sold-out concert, killing at least 145 people and wounding 551 more.
The saga of the arrest and imprisonment of former Ecuadorian VP Jorge Glas just had yet another surprising and shocking development, as news arose that he attempted suicide and is now on a hunger strike at a prison in Guayaquil to protest his arrest.
Glas, who has been convicted of corruption for the third time, having previously served four years in prison, had sought asylum in the Mexican embassy in Quito when – in an unprecedented turn of events – an elite group of the Ecuadorian army RAIDED the Mexican embassy in Quito, to arrest him.
Armed Soldiers of the Ecuadorian Army, in black vehicles, broke the external doors of the Mexican diplomatic headquarters and accessed the courtyards.
Glas was arrested and taken into custody, and an explosive diplomatic war between Ecuador and Mexico began.
A few days later, another dramatic chapter: it was revealed Glas was taken to hospital after he fell ill at a prison in Guayaquil.
This took place just hours after his lawyers complained they had been unable to contact him.
SNAI prison agency said Glas had been taken to the naval hospital in Guayaquil around noon local time. Glas fell ill ‘after refusing to eat food provided (in the jail) during the last 24 hours,” the statement said’.
“‘We have confirmed that the medical emergency was a suicide attempt. He has not eaten anything and is on a hunger strike’, [former President Rafael] Correa said in a message on X, which was confirmed by Vera in a whatsapp message.”
Glas was discharged from hospital on Tuesday and returned to prison.
Tensions between Mexico and Ecuador peaked after Quito declared the Mexican ambassador persona non grata, retaliating against ‘unfortunate’ comments by leftist Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Obrador later divulged video clips from inside the embassy showing a door violently forced open as well as a man, who appeared to be Glas, being carried out by his arms and legs.

GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik dropped some breaking news on Thursday during a House Committee hearing on the FBI’s budget with Director Christopher Wray: There is audio of Biden telling his ghostwriter that he ‘just found all the classified documents downstairs.’
Robert Hur in February released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.
Robert Hur found that Joe Biden “willfully retained” classified information, however, he decided not to charge him. Hur said there is evidence Biden retained classified notebooks, “knowing he was not allowed to do so.”
Biden was not charged even though he willfully retained SCIF-designated classified documents and shared material with his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer.
According to Robert Hur, In 2017, Joe Biden read aloud classified passages about meetings in the Situation Room to his ghostwriter “verbatim on at least three occasions” – and Biden still wasn’t charged.
Joe Biden’s ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer deleted digital audio files of recordings of his conversations with Biden after learning about Special Counsel Robert Hur’s appointment.
According to Hur’s report, Zwonitzer deleted the files before he received a subpoena.
Technicians were able to recover the deleted recordings but Zwonitzer was not charged for deleting the files.
According to the report, portions of three of Zwonitzer’s recovered audio files appeared to be missing and a fourth file appeared to have portions overwritten with a separate recording.
“Zwonitzer stated that at some point he deleted the audio files subfolder from his laptop and external hard drive. No relevant deleted files were recovered from the laptop. Deleted audio files were recovered from a subfolder on the external hard drive labeled “Audio.” Based on the available evidence from the forensic review, we assess that all deleted audio files were recovered from that subfolder. For three of the recovered files, portions of the audio appeared to be missing, and a fourth file appeared to have portions overwritten with a separate recording. These results are possible when forensic tools are used to recover deleted files. For each of these four incomplete or overwritten files, Zwonitzer produced his corresponding transcripts to investigators. These notes summarized the content of the conversations, two of which were with Mr. Biden and two of which were with Beau Biden’s doctor,” the report read.
The feds declined to charge Zwonitzer.
Rep. Elise Stefanik on Thursday revealed there is an audio recording of Biden telling Mark Zwonitzer that he “just found all the classified stuff downstairs.”
Until Stefanik’s revelation, it was only known to the public via Hur’s report that Mark Zwonitzer had preserved transcript of Biden telling him there was classified materials ‘downstairs.’
“Perhaps most significantly, Zwonitzer preserved near-verbatim transcripts that contain incriminating information about Mr. Biden, including transcripts of the February 16, 2017 conversation where Mr. Biden said he “just found all the classified stuff downstairs.” Preserving these transcripts was inconsistent with a motive aimed at impeding the investigation,” Robert Hur said in his 345-page report reviewed by this reporter.
“Are you aware that there is an audio recording of Joe Biden saying to his ghostwriter in 2017: ‘I just found all the classified documents stuff downstairs’?” Rep. Stefanik said to Chris Wray?
Chris Wray didn’t want to discuss Biden’s crimes and his mishandling of classified information.
WATCH:
BOMBSHELL.

Making its way to the Supreme Court of the United States, 38 military chaplains are challenging Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s authority to issue the 2021 COVID-19 vaccine mandate and its implementation, which are largely considered illegal and unconstitutional by those who have sought relief from its tyrannical enforcement.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to Arthur A. Schulcz Sr., retired Vietnam War veteran, and lead attorney in Alvarado v. Austin. On December 29, 2023, he said, the chaplains filed a petition with the Supreme Court challenging the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ dismissal of their claims for an injunction against continued retaliation for requesting religious accommodation and the District Court’s dismissal of their constitutional and statutory claims.
The Fourth Circuit said the claims were moot, meaning the courts could not provide a remedy because the military had allegedly fixed the chaplains’ concerns regarding the vaccine.
On March 21, the chaplains filed an application for injunctive relief with the Supreme Court to protect them during the petition process and thereafter. The group of chaplains is calling for the cessation of retaliatory actions used against them for refusing to get the jab on the grounds of religious objection.
And on Friday, April 26, the Supreme Court will have the opportunity to stay, or pause, the policies that have continued to impact these chaplains’ careers.
Schulcz said, “The Department of Defense (DOD) has waged an insurgency against Congress by not returning these chaplains to their pre-mandate status as required by Congress’s December 22, 2023, order to rescind the mandate.” According to Schulcz, “the mandate did nothing more than attempt to serve as a purge of those who believe in following conscience, violating the First and Fifth Amendments and statutory protections of all service members.
“All the rules were changed,” he said. “There was no intent to grant any religious accommodations, [and] that should shake every citizen’s faith in the military leadership.”
According to Schulcz, “The volunteer military is in danger of being destroyed by people who have no respect for the law or persons, especially religious liberty, and that is illustrated in our case.” It is his hope that the Supreme Court will intervene and “do its duty to uphold the law.”
Schulcz asked, “What institution do you turn to if the Supreme Court essentially says your conscience doesn’t matter or if the Court ignores obvious untruths from our military leaders and deliberately ignores what Congress has said DOD must do?”
According to him, “rescinding the mandate should mean restoring military personnel to their status before the mandate was issued, and that hasn’t been done.” He pointed out, “One of the primary issues in our case is whether the Secretary of Defense can lie to Congress and the courts without accountability.”
Following the rescission of the vaccine mandate, “adverse actions” from the files of those who requested religious accommodations are supposed to be removed. “But this is not true,” Schulcz said. While discipline actions like a General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand (GOMOR) have been removed, he pointed out that “the Secretary has not returned our chaplains and others to the status quo.”
He explained, “We have people that have failed promotion twice because of the bad fitness reports they received after filing for religious accommodation request, [noting that] two failures of promotion below the grade of Lieutenant Colonel or Commander in the Navy subject you to separation at the government’s whim.”
“We have chaplains whose reports during Covid guarantee they will not be promoted,” Schulcz noted. “One of our chaplains had his career destroyed during the ‘voluntary’ phase of the vaccine for questioning his commander about telling the troops the vaccine was voluntary and then punishing them for not volunteering,” he added. “But that chaplain’s job was to advise the commander of ethical and moral issues.”
Schulcz also pointed out, “the DOD has not been challenged over the fact that people have been hurt by lowered efficiency reports, missed schooling, etc., [adding that] all these things are forbidden by Section 533 [of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)].”
“What the mandate reveals and what we challenge is a complete disregard for the law,” he argued.
“Even now, the Secretary refuses to acknowledge anything was wrong,” said Schulcz, “If Congress said ‘rescind,’ the Secretary’s job is to salute and say, ‘yes, Congress,’ then examine the damage that’s been done and do something to fix it.”
But according to Schulcz, Austin has not done that. “Thus, his disobedience and lying to Congress is a matter the courts can and must be addressed,” he said. “Otherwise, woe to us as a nation.”
“Afterall, the right of conscience is integral to who we are as a nation and integral to the First Amendment, and this administration is doing what has never been done before,” shared Schulcz. “[It’s] substituting itself for God as the source of authority that determines right and wrong, and good and evil.”
“I deeply understand that the American fighting man and woman is a treasure and a blessing,” Schulcz said. “The American fighting man is unique, [because] they are the keystone in fulfilling the last stated objective for forming the Constitution, “to preserve the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.”
For him, “the word ‘blessings’ is not a political or legal term.” Rather, he said, “The word reflects the fact that our founders knew our liberty was given to us as a gift by the Divine Providence to whom they appealed in the Declaration of Independence—a bold statement made by men with no army, no navy, no arms industry, no finances, and no friends except the Divine Providence to whom they appealed.”
“Their conscience compelled them to oppose the tyrant who denied the liberty and rights they had become accustomed to and were guaranteed in their law and history, rights they believed came from the Divine Creator,” Schulcz said, pointing out that “freedom of conscience is necessary for every First Amendment right.”
For chaplains in today’s military, he said, “their conscience is formed by faith and protected by Section 533 [of the NDAA], which Mr. Austin has ignored…a grave breach of the public trust.”
“Pastors played key roles in our War for Independence,” Schulcz shared. “The British called them the Black Robed Regiment.” Considering this, he said, “How fortunate that once again we have pastors in uniform defending ‘the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.’”
Schulcz prays for a just decision to be made by the Supreme Court, one that recognizes the case is not moot and reinforces the public’s trust in the nation’s courts because they enforce the rule of law for all, including the government.
Sunny Hostin spoke about her connection to the OJ trial and that she thought OJ was guilty.
That’s when Joy Behar jumped in to compare OJ to Donald Trump and accuse him of rape.
Sunny Hostin: I ended up becoming close to Kim Goldman. I can tell you that even after-
Joy Behar: Her son was killed, right?
Sunny Hostin: Her brother. Her brother Ron. Her brother Ron was killed along with Nicole Simpson. I remember how palpable, even to this day, that loss is for the family. That was the tragedy part? For me, the tragedy was the injustice, in my opinion.
Joy Behar: Which part?
Sunny Hostin: The criminal trial, the fact that he was not found guilty. But he was found liable later…
Joy Behar: Like Trump was found liable for rape.
Sunny Hostin: Yes.
Joy Behar: It was the same thing.
Sunny Hostin: Everything goes back to Trump.
Joy Behar: Until he’s gone, I will not rest.
Sonny Hostin: Liable for sexual assault.
These really are horrible women. Destructive, dishonest and slanderous.
In the months and years following the initial outbreak of COVID-19, there was a lot of confusion and uncertainty regarding the virus’ origins. Despite being labeled “conspiracy theorists” or “far-right wing nutjobs,” however, more information comes out every day that PROVES those people were right. Senator Rand Paul recently released a report implicating 15 AGENCIES and their involvement in the creation and subsequent cover-up of the pandemic. But how deep does this rabbit hole go?
The Canadian public inquiry into foreign interference is ongoing, with its first report expected to be tabled next month.
But the stark conclusions of a February 2023 top-secret intelligence briefing have leaked: “China ‘clandestinely and deceptively’ interfered in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections, seeking to support candidates favorable to Beijing’s strategic interests.
The activity was aimed at discouraging Canadians, particularly Chinese Canadians, from voting for the Conservative Party, which it viewed as having an anti-Beijing platform, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service reported in the February 2023 briefing.”
Quebec judge Marie-Josee Hogue leads the inquiry, which has interviewed more than 40 community members, politicians, and federal election officials.
Finally, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – the greatest beneficiary of the whole scheme – was called in to testify.
He tried to sell the version that, while China tried to meddle in the last two Canadian elections, the results were nonetheless ‘not impacted’, and it was ‘improbable’ Beijing preferred any one party over another.
“In sworn testimony before a commission conducting a public inquiry into alleged foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 Canadian elections, Trudeau answered questions about intelligence briefings he had received and asserted the elections were ‘free and fair’.
Trudeau set up the commission last year under pressure from opposition legislators unhappy about media reports on China’s possible role in the elections.”
During the 2021 campaign alone, it’s estimated that Chinese interference cost the Conservative Party up to nine seats.
“Asked about an intelligence report about Chinese officials in Canada expressing a preference in 2021 for a Liberal minority government due to the perception that minority governments would be more limited in enacting anti-China policies, Trudeau said the report had not reached him.
‘While individual (Chinese) officials may well have expressed a preference or another, the impression we got and consistently would get is that … it just would seem very improbable that the Chinese government itself would have a preference in the election’, Trudeau said.”
Canada’s domestic spy agency has already told the commission that China ‘clandestinely and deceptively interfered’ in both the elections.
This is the strongest evidence of Chinese meddling in Canadian politics, but hey, Trudeau apparently wants the Canadian public to believe that the interference didn’t interfere all that much, after all – even if people in his own family foundation are equally embroidered in Chinese donations.
Trump-Endorsed Arizona Senate Candidate Kari Lake (left)
Kari Lake recently pled no contest in the lawfare defamation case brought against her by fake “Republican” Stephen Richer and Protect Democracy – a far-left group of Soros and Obama-linked henchmen who are trying to silence all election critics on the right.
Instead of allowing the Soros-linked far-left Protect Democracy to subpoena and dig through her personal communications and campaign secrets and wasting more time or money on the bogus lawsuit, Lake decided it’s time to focus on her campaign. Lake is expected to face Soros-backed far-left Marxist Ruben Gallego in the 2024 general election for the US Senate.
This clearly is a hit job on Kari Lake by her political opponents.
In fact, George Soros’ son recently hosted a fundraiser in Gallego’s honor, which likely led to Lake’s decision to file for default judgment shortly after in the lawsuit filed by Soros-linked attorneys.
Then, ironically, as The Gateway Pundit reported Gallego resorted to attacking Kari Lake for her fundraising event last week with President Trump at the Mar-A-Lago, where she raised a record-shattering one million dollars. This money can now go to her campaign instead of fighting the bogus lawsuit that is simply meant to bankrupt her.
Lake only moved to determine the amount of damages Stephen Richer wants her to pay for the statements that the elected government official didn’t like and allegedly caused him pain and suffering.
As for Richer, he told the local KTAR news station, “We now have a judgment saying that Kari Lake lied about me, lied to the world, lied to Arizona, lied about the 2022 election. And so that will be entered in a court of law, and now we’ll move on to assess just how much it damaged me, and we’re going to say it damaged me a lot” — a total lie.
Howard Fischer, a leftwing hack journalist who despises Kari Lake, wrote for Tucson.com, “In a video statement explaining her decision, Lake insisted her legal capitulation has nothing to do with conceding that her statements were wrong — even though her court papers admit that they were” — another lie.
Lake never admitted to defamation. She only conceded that she did say things that hurt Richer’s feelings while still maintaining that nothing she said was defamatory.
Lake said in a video statement on March 26, “Behind this ridiculous lawsuit are a dozen East Coast lawyers funded by special interests who have rolled into Arizona to interfere in my campaign for US Senate. It’s a political witch hunt, and everyone knows it.”
She continued, “By participating in this lawsuit–it would only serve to legitimize this perversion of our legal system and interfere in our elections. So I won’t be taking part.”
“Instead, I will focus– continue to focus on the issues that matter to the people of Arizona: securing the border, bringing back our economy, improving healthcare and education,” she added:
Lake’s Motion for a Default Judgement even states, “It is often said that defaulting admits the allegations in the operative complaint. This is a misnomer.” The filing then cites case law, which states, “An entry of default serves as a judicial admission of all well-pleaded facts in the complaint. A party against whom default is entered, however, is not held to admit facts that are not well-pleaded or to admit conclusions of law. If a complaint does not include well-pleaded facts for a required showing, entry of default does not mean that required showing has been made.“
The motion clearly stipulates that Lake’s entry of default judgment does not admit to the allegations of defamation or that Richer’s complaint had the required showing of well-pleaded facts.
Kari Lake only admits to making the statements that left Richer butthurt and took a toll on his emotions.
Attorney Mike Davis called it a “shrewd move,” noting that by pleading no contest, her time and money could be better spent winning her race for the Senate than fighting a bogus lawsuit funded by a dark money organization.
“Even if I defamed you, which I did not, your supposed damages are much less than the money and time I’d spend defending against this Democrat lawfare and election interference.”
Lake joined Bannon’s War Room after filing her Motion for Default Judgement. “My words are true, but how did they hurt you?” Lake said she’s telling Stephen Richer and the far-left group behind his election interference lawfare:
LAKE: This is the most important Senate race in the country, and let me just remind you, my opponent has been endorsed by Hillary Clinton and the Soros family. And all these attorneys, by the way, in this case that I just said, we’re going to call your bluff. All these attorneys, about a dozen of them, all of them coming from New York, Washington, DC, Harvard, rolling into town— many of them with associations, and affiliations, their groups, with Soros. So, this is just a witch hunt, a political witch hunt, designed to pull me off the campaign trail and try to coordinate this mini-me of Joe Biden. And we’re not going to have it. I’m not going to have them interfering in this all-important race. This is so critical in Arizona. So, I just said to Richer, cut to the chase, what are your damages, where did I hurt you, how did my words hurt you? My words are true, but how did they hurt you? You said you have mental issues because of it? Show us what drugs you’re on, and we’ll reimburse you for the drugs. What are your medical issues? We’ll have a psychiatrist look at you and let us know— an independent medical examiner to look at you and let us know what your issues are because of my words.
Joe Biden on Wednesday evening hosted Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and Mrs. Kishida Yuko of Japan for a State Dinner in the East Room.
This is after a disastrous greeting ceremony for the Japanese Prime Minister on the White House lawn. 81-year-old Biden had to be led around the South Lawn.
Biden was in a state of confusion the entire time.
By Wednesday evening Biden was barely able to function. He had to read the toast directly from his notes and he still struggled.
“Well, we are the same – Japan and the United States. We may be divided by distance…” Biden said.
“We both remember the choices that were made to forge a friendship that were once only a devastating a fight that existed before!” Biden said.

YouTuber turned boxing star Jake Paul joined Jesse Watter Prime Time to promote his mega-fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson.
Towards the conclusion of his interview with Jesse Waters, Jake Paul invited President Trump and his son Barron to the fight.
Paul stated, “Trump, if you are watching this, this is an invite. I know you used to promote Tyson, so I’d love to have you at the fight. Vivek came to my other fight. And, of course, the silver fox, Barron Trump.”
“Donny, pull up, we’ve got tickets for you,” added Paul.
Jake Paul is set to fight Mike Tyson, 57, on July 20, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The fight will also be exclusively aired live on Netflix.
Trump and Tyson have a long history together.
In 1988, Trump paid a record $11 million for a site fee to host the super fight Mike Tyson vs. Michael Spinks at the Atlantic City Convention Hall, which was attached to the Trump Plaza Hotel.
Tyson won the fight in a 91-second KO and earned a record-breaking $22 million purse.
Trump, however, was not only a supporter of Tyson during his highs but was also a defender of him at his lows.
When Mike Tyson was convicted of rape back in 1992, Trump went on David Letterman to suggest that Iron Mike didn’t receive a fair trial.
Tyson has also returned the favor and has defended Trump on several occasions.
In 2016, Tyson endorsed Trump and publicly stated that Trump has been a real friend to him.
A new documentary being released by the organization behind the American Greatness website, next week on April 17, is exposing the “four corrupt, political motivated” prosecutors now pursuing cases against President Donald Trump.
The narrator of “Chasing Trump” explains, “They say they’re upholding the law. But a close examination reveals politics of the very worst kind meant to influence the 2024 election.”
He cites, “Four corrupt, politically motivated prosecutors. One target: Donald Trump.”
The trailer:
“Can there be any doubt there’s a sentiment of ‘This is get Trump?'”
The video documentary is coming just as a trial is starting in which leftists are claiming Trump violated business regulations with a non-disclosure agreement, a common practice in business transactions.
In fact, the facts of the case were reviewed, then rejected for lacking evidence of wrongdoing, before it was resurrected and turned into a felony case.
A comment from the Daily Mail said, “Trump allies will step up their attacks on prosecutors investigating the former president next week, with the launch of an online documentary accusing them of political activism and electioneering.”
“‘Chasing Trump’ is an important documentary that exposes the leftwing prosecutors weaponizing the government to target my father,” Donald Trump Jr. told DailyMail.com. “It’s the first documentary to do a deep dive into the backgrounds of the prosecutors behind the four cases against him and is a must watch for anyone who cares about preserving the rule of law and protecting our constitutional rights.”
Among the subjects is Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor in Manhattan, who has created a list of 34 charges against Trump over that non-disclosure agreement.
Another subject is Fani Willis, a Georgia prosecutor who is bringing an organized crime case against Trump and a dozen others for their comments after the 2020 presidential election, which was, in fact, subjected to multiple undue influences that likely benefited Joe Biden. Willis has been accused of racism in the case, and a judge already has confirmed she had the appearance of a conflict of interest for hiring her paramour to work on her anti-Trump allegations.
Then there’s special counsel Jack Smith who is claiming Trump committed crimes by having documents from his presidency in his home after leaving office. Another special counsel found Joe Biden was in essentially the same position, but recommended against charging him because of his obviously “diminished” capacity.
Finally, there’s New York Attorney General Letitia James, who campaigned on the promise to “get Trump,” even without any allegations of wrongdoing. She found a judge who agreed with her agenda and declared Trump guilty of fraud before the trial, which was only to establish damages. The judge, Arthur Engoron, then ordered a penalty of $454 million for Trump in the case that had no victims, no one losing money, and no one making any complaints.
The Mail explains the documentary “makes the case that Trump is being punished for taking on the status quo and echoes his constant refrain that he is subject to a witch hunt.”
Even the judges in the cases cannot escape criticism, and one, Juan Merchan, who is hearing one of the cases, has a daughter to is an activist who benefits financially from her work for Kamala Harris and others who have attacked Trump.
The report said “Chasing Trump” is the first in a series to be produced by American Greatness.
The documentary is to appear on a number of streaming sites, including Rumble and X.
Curt Mercadenta, managing editor of American Greatness, explained to the Mail the video will shock anyone “who believed the legal system was free from partisan political considerations.”
“With the 2024 election starting to heat up, it’s imperative that Americans have the opportunity to learn more about the truth behind the prosecutions targeting President Trump, along with the partisan prosecutors behind the cases,” he explained.
And Mike Davis, of the Article III Project, said, “These four prosecutions against President Trump are nothing more than partisan political activism masquerading as the rule of law.”

When the left accuses you of one thing – just know you can be assured they’re carrying out that same thing they’re accusing you of.

The ghouls at CNN were praising double murderer OJ Simpson after it was reported he died after a battle with cancer.
OJ Simpson on Thursday died just a couple of months after it was reported he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
In February OJ Simpson denied he was receiving hospice care in a video posted to X.
“Hospice? Hospice? Hahaha!” OJ said in the video. “I’m not in any hospice but I don’t know who put that out there….I’m hosting a ton of friends for the Super Bowl.”
Simpson was accused of brutally murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in June 1994.
Despite overwhelming evidence pointing to OJ Simpson being the murderer, the disgraced football player was found not guilty.
CNN’s Stephanie Elam said the quiet part out loud as she was reporting on OJ Simpson’s death.
She praised OJ Simpson for getting away with murder.
“So many people were just happy to see that someone who is rich and famous, and black, could get away with… er … what other people did in the system as well, too,” Stephanie Elam said.
OJ Simpson’s children had to grow up with a mother and CNN is praising the murderer.
These people are sick.

How incompetent does the leadership of a national political party have to be to schedule its nominating committee after the deadlines of two states to confirm the party’s nominee to be included on the ballot?
That’s a good question — and one the Democratic National Committee is apparently well-placed to answer.
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen sent a letter Tuesday to the Alabama Democratic Party and the DNC to inform both groups that the party must, under state law, confirm its presidential and vice presidential candidates by Aug. 15 to be eligible to appear on the state’s ballots in November.
The only problem with that is that Democratic National Convention isn’t scheduled to begin until Aug. 19. Whoops.
Of course, everyone knows that the incumbent, President Joe Biden, will be the Democrats’ nominee again this year, despite some conspiracy theories to the contrary. But that’s not the same as the DNC confirming those nominees to the state.
Biden faces a similar problem in Ohio, as The Western Journal reported Monday.
In case you were wondering, the Republican National Convention is scheduled for July 15-18 in Milwaukee, well before the deadlines in both Alabama and Ohio.
Neither state is likely to be competitive, it should be noted. Combined, the two states represent 26 electoral votes that Biden may not even have a shot at, but he probably didn’t have much of a shot at them anyway.
Former President Donald Trump won Ohio by better than 8 points in each of the last two presidential elections, and he demolished his Democratic opponents in Alabama by more than 25 points in both 2016 and 2020.
Still, this isn’t a good look for Team Biden.
So far, the Democrats’ response to the issue has been simple: Rather than replace the people responsible for their terrible planning, they’re simply denying that there’s a problem.
“We’re monitoring the situation in Ohio and we’re confident that Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states,” a Biden campaign spokesperson told ABC News last week.
After the news about Alabama broke, a Biden campaign spokesperson — perhaps the same one — made a similar statement to Fox News, but actually amped up the denial.
“Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states,” the unnamed spokesperson said. “State officials have the ability to grant provisional ballot access certification prior to the conclusion of presidential nominating conventions.”
Some state officials may have that ability, but not those in Alabama.
“Under Alabama law, there are no ‘provisional certifications’ for candidates,” the Alabama secretary of state’s office told CNN. “All candidates must comply with current Alabama law to gain ballot access.”
So, back to my original question: How incompetent does the leadership of a national political party have to be to schedule its nominating committee after the deadlines of two states to confirm the party’s nominee to be included on the ballot?
Sit back and grab the popcorn. It looks like we’re about to find out.

How does someone like Charlie Spies get hired by the GOP?
What is going on?
The GeorgeHQ did a deep dive into Spies and his questionable past.
Introducing, Charlie Spies.
1. In Sept 2016 he joined forces with his friend Mark Elias to condemn @realDonaldTrump as a threat to democracy, in response to Trump’s debate answer when asked if he would accept his loss.
2. In Sept – October 2016 Spies was calling Trump a grifter on @CBSNews for trying to make money on running for office.
3. As head of Jeb Super pac In 2015 primary, Spies authored a letter to FEC making fun of Trumps bankruptcies and foreign policy experience.
4. Spies, on CPAC panel in 2021 said 2020 election was not stolen, that other side had better message and candidate. (See video)
5. Spies said in multiple interviews there was no evidence of vote fraud in 2020. He claims that @OANN was liable for their report.
6. On Jan 20, 2021 Spies tweeted out that he was excited for a new day in the White House with a picture of his cat watching the Biden inauguration. He said, “God bless Joe Biden and Kamala Harris”. He said the inauguration performance was great.
7. He was 2023 Desantis general counsel actively tweeting anti Trump comments. RT’ing Mike Pence calling him good.
8. Wife Lisa Spies suggested in 2016 that Trump is an anti-Semite. She also suggested J6 was horrible day turning people off to giving to republicans.
9. Mitt Romney loyalist and has been in multi interviews saying that he is a Jeb Bush guy and a Romney guy and that Trump was the remaining.
This GOP official is totally wrong in believing the non-secure election machines are certifiable.
How does this guy get hired by the GOP? He’s either a very ignorant person repeating total BS about the election systems or he knows the truth and is not telling it.
The GOP needs better people not officials who hate their party’s leader.
As the Biden administration continues to fail countless Americans by allowing millions of illegals to pour across our southern border, more state governments have begun to pick up the slack, following the lead of Texas.
Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a bill on Wednesday that strengthens state law enforcement’s ability to mitigate the migrant crisis.
S.B. 2340 functions much in the same way as a similar law in Texas, making it illegal to enter the state of Iowa if an individual has previously been deported or barred from entering the state.
The piece of legislation gives peace officers considerable power that they did not have before to handle the hoards of illegals.
Gov. Reynolds celebrated when signing the bill, speaking strongly on its importance in the face of a failing presidential administration.
“The Biden Administration has failed to enforce our nation’s immigration laws, putting the protection and safety of Iowans at risk,” she stated in a news release. “Those who come into our country illegally have broken the law, yet Biden refuses to deport them.”
Today, we give Iowa law enforcement the power to do what Joe Biden won’t: deport illegal criminals to protect our state. pic.twitter.com/GaQwdprekb
“This bill gives Iowa law enforcement the power to do what he is unwilling to do: enforce immigration laws already on the books.”
The law will begin to take effect on July 1 and will make the crime a felony offense if the previous removal order against an individual was related to misdemeanor convictions for drug-related charges, a crime against another person or a felony conviction.
Of course, while the bill will undoubtedly take significant strides to create a safer Iowa, left-leaning groups have already begun to whine about a state attempting to keep law and order.
A local immigration rights group named Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice lamented about not being able to illegally enter the state and siphon away resources from American citizens.
“We know that we all belong here, Iowa is home, and we will stand together as workers, families and allies to defend each other,” the group claimed in a statement translated by CNN.
The ACLU couldn’t help but dissent as well, with executive director of the Iowa ACLU Mark Stringer releasing a statement, making wild claims of racism for enforcing the southern border.
“This legislation encourages and facilitates racial profiling and stereotyping. It undermines — not promotes — public safety and the rule of law,” he said. “It will consume already strapped state court and law enforcement resources.”
Nonetheless, despite the dissent from more liberal voices, the bill will undoubtedly have major positive effects in handling illegal immigration in Iowa.
Perhaps if the Biden administration took proper steps to ensure the southern border was secure, states wouldn’t have to take such major action as the Hawkeye State has.
Unfortunately, the world we live in has a spineless president, unable to do what is necessary for American safety.
The press was once again blocked from attending one of Biden’s meetings with foreign heads of state.
Joe Biden on Thursday held a trilateral meeting with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. of the Republic of the Philippines and Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan.
Of course, the press wasn’t allowed to attend the meeting.
Biden smirked as his handlers forcibly removed the press from the trilateral meeting.

Reporters who were supposed to observe President Biden’s heavily promoted trilateral meeting with the leaders of Japan and the Philippines missed his remarks Thursday when press handlers left them standing downstairs in a hallway as the commander-in-chief spoke.
The rare logistical snafu prevented journalists from witnessing the 81-year-old president’s opening remarks to Philippine President Bongbong Marcos and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in the White House East Room.
The day’s print pool reporter, Michael Shear of the New York Times, relayed the unexpected dilemma in an emailed update to colleagues who were anticipating quotes from the summit of major US allies.
In an alert titled “Pool missed the pool spray,” Shear relayed the “bad news: The White House held most of the press in the lower hallway in the East Wing even as the pool spray at the Trilateral meeting got under way.”
Corrupt Democrat Mayor Tiffany Henyard played the race card on Wednesday as angry residents shouted at her during a community meeting.
Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard is under FBI investigation for abusing her power after she shut down businesses that didn’t donate to her campaign.
Tiffany Henyard, who unsuccessfully ran a hamburger joint before becoming a mayor, attends meetings dressed like a movie gangster.
According to Dolton citizens, Henyard uses local police to target businesses that don’t contribute to her.
One business owner told The New York Post that he made one contribution to Henyard and her minions kept coming after him demanding more money. Whe he didn’t comply, Henyard shut down his trucking business.
Tiffany Henyard reportedly used the police as her personal Gestapo to shut down more than a dozen businesses after they refused to give her money.
Henyard was also accused of spending all of Dolton’s money for personal expenses so she could live a lavish lifestyle with a massive security detail and entourage.
Clutching a gold microphone that matched her gold nails, Tiffany Henyard refused to answer questions from angry residents.
Residents demanded answers on the latest sexual assault and cover-up scandal which involved Henyard.
“We are not brainwashed! We are fed up!” One resident shouted at Tiffany Henyard.
Henyard played the race card and blamed the black residents for her corruption.
“We are here to help each other, not hurt each other and it’s a shame that us – us – I’m talking about black and brown communities would sit here and fight..It’s a shame..” Tiffany Henyard said.

Colombian “Bricks” of US Dollars used for Gold Purchase in Panama
You will hear a common theme from U.S. Government officials involved in counter-terrorism about “following the money.” The sad truth, however, is most have no clue about how to do that. When I, along with five other partners, formed BERG Associates LLC in 1998, we carved out a niche as a unique group of specialists in money laundering investigations. The star of our team, John Moynihan, is a forensic accountant who did four years with DEA running its undercover money laundering operations in New York City. I learned a lot from John. He is a certified genius in this area.
We worked on the Bank of New York Russian Money Laundering case as one of our first jobs. We investigated all the major tobacco and liquor companies for money laundering on behalf of the European Union and the Governors of Colombia. We were fortunate to have informants that worked inside major Colombian and Mexican cartels as well as a member of a Russian Clan. The photo heading this article is from one of the cases we worked in Panama. A Colombian cartel sent members to Panama with these “bricks” of dollars to purchase gold. The money was the proceeds of drug trafficking.
We briefed a group of intel analysts at the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in 2006 on how to track Mokhtar Belmokhtar by focusing on his cigarette trade. He moved a lot of Philip Morris product — Marlboro to be precise. Unfortunately, JSOC did not act on our recommendations. Belmokhtar was not stealing Philip Morris Marlboros. He was acquiring the product through a Philip Morris distributor. If you have a terrorist organization that is trafficking in cigarettes, or liquor or Toyota trucks, all you have to do is get your hands on the product and trace backwards.
Remember when ISIS was at its strongest in Syria in 2013? They were driving around in brand new Toyota pick up trucks. All that needed to be done was get the serial number off of one vehicle and work backwards. Moynihan and I briefed this to a Special Operations Command (SOCOM) officer who was given the task of “following the money.” To my knowledge he never followed up on our recommendation of how to figure out who was supplying ISIS with those trucks. They did not steal them off of a car lot.
Here is an 11 minute look at Russia’s allegation that Burisma was involved in terrorist finance. The big unanswered question is what was Cofer Black, a former senior CIA official who headed up the Counter Terrorism Center (CTC) in 2001, doing while serving on the board of Burisma and a Latvian Bank that was later implicated in possible terrorist financing? Was that just a crazy coincidence?

With dramatic stories of self-defense appearing in our news feeds almost every day, you have to wonder how gun-control advocates have still pontificated about the evils of gun ownership with a straight face.
True, a few bad actors have used guns to hurt, terrorize and kill the innocent.
But how many of those bad actors have been — or could have been — apprehended, if one of those citizens had also been armed?
An incident reported Wednesday by EastIdahoNews.com showed how a potentially lethal situation became an example of heroism, thanks to an 85-year-old woman armed with a handgun.
According to EastIdahoNews.com, Christine Jenneiahn was sleeping at home during the wee hours of March 13, when a man officials identified Derek Ephriam Condon, 39, broke into her house around 2 a.m.
The report, released by Bingham County prosecuting attorney Ryan Jolley and shared by the Bingham County Sheriff’s office on Facebook, noted that Jenneiahn’s disabled adult son, David, was sleeping downstairs when the invasion happened.
Condon went to Jenneiahn’s upstairs bedroom, and awakened her while pointing a flashlight and a pistol at her head.
Based on the blood police found on her bed and her pillow, they believe Condon hit her in the head, though Jenneiahn doesn’t quite remember when or how it happened.
Clearly, though, Jenneiahn was in grave danger, and Condon was ready and willing to kill to get what he wanted.
And what was it that he wanted?
According to Jolley’s report, Condon took Jenneiahn to the living room and handcuffed her to a chair, demanding to know where she kept her valuables and pointing a pistol to her head when she said she didn’t have much.
Then, as the New York Post explained, she told Condon she had two safes downstairs, without disclosing that her son was sleeping in a downstairs bedroom.
When Condon discovered that, however, he was enraged.
Returning to the living room, Condon threatened to kill her for failing to tell him about her son, in addition to issuing multiple other threats.
However, what Condon did not count on was the remarkable resilience of this otherwise frail old woman.
Despite suffering multiple injuries at Condon’s hands, while Condon was rummaging through the house, Jenneiahn dragged herself and the chair back to her bedroom, where she retrieved the .357 Magnum revolver she kept under her pillow.
From there, she dragged herself and the chair back to the living room, where she hid the gun in a nearby couch.
When Condon returned, Jolley’s report explained, Jenneiahn decided it was “now or never.” She drew her gun and “engaged Condon, striking him with both her shots.”
Condon then emptied his 9mm pistol at her, striking her abdomen, leg, arm and chest, before stumbling to the kitchen, where he died from his gunshot wounds to the chest.
Jenneiahn then collapsed, unable to call 911 for about 10 hours, until her son brought her a phone in the morning. The police finally arrived at the scene around noon.
After investigating the scene, the police and Jolley concluded that this “case presents an easy analysis of self-defense and justifiable homicide. It also presents one of the most heroic acts of self-preservation I have heard of.”
Jolley was full of praise for Jenneiahn, crediting her “grit, determination, and will to live” for saving her life that night.
The Bingham County Sheriff’s Office, in sharing Jolley’s report in a Facebook post, likewise praised Jenneiahn’s incredible bravery and tenacity, saying that the department was releasing the facts of the case to explain that “that there was a victim involved that displayed heroism, fortitude, and a will to live that we’d be remiss not to share.”
Clearly, this story would have ended much more tragically had Jenneiahn not been armed in some way.
Moreover, Jenneiahn displayed a courage and resilience in protecting herself and her disabled son that would have been impressive for someone half her age, let alone for a woman approaching 90.
As has been demonstrated time and time again, guns have been the great equalizer in these kinds of situations, especially for those lacking in physical strength.
A frail old woman like Jenneiahn wouldn’t have stood a chance had she not owned a gun and had the presence of mind (not to mention the force of will) to drag herself and her chair to the bedroom where she kept the weapon.
The strict gun-controlling measures advocated by liberal lawmakers hinder the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against thugs like Condon. Such measures would have ensured the deaths of Jenneiahn and her son in an incident like this.
It’s nothing short of baffling that our liberal elites have long been (presumably) aware of stories like this and yet they still advocate for gun control measures.
But gun control was never really about protecting law-abiding citizens, now, was it?
Remember when Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (CA) riled up a leftist mob and told them to harass members of Trump’s Cabinet in restaurants?
Maxine Waters encouraged violence against Trump supporters and members of Trump’s Cabinet.
“If you see anybody from [Trump’s] Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere!” Maxine Waters shouted to a rabid Los Angeles mob in June 2018.
WATCH:
The same Maxine Waters that went on Joy Reid’s show to offer a venomous screed about how Republicans exist to threaten her life said this, calling for harassment and violence against Trump officials in June 2018.
Well, it turns out she doesn’t like it when it is done to her.
Maxine Waters whined after she was confronted at a restaurant by someone who disagreed with her political positions.
Waters also played the race card and claimed that even though the person didn’t say anything racist, they are still a racist because they disagreed with her.
“As a member of Congress, when people, you know, who evidently had a racist attitude, and recently one of them even confronted me in a restaurant. And they don’t say racist things, but what they say is they don’t like something I said, they don’t like a position that I took, but you know that, you know, if you were not black, you would not be approached that way,” Maxine Waters said.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has raised eyebrows in the last several years for projects such as its Advanced Plant Technologies (plants that spy) and ReSource Program (which aims to turn trash into food).
If you have never heard of DARPA, it’s a research agency of the United States Department of Defense that creates innovative and cutting-edge technology for the U.S. military.
One of DARPA’s latest projects is the Manta Ray Project.
According to DARPA’s website, the Manta Ray Project seeks “to demonstrate innovative technologies allowing payload-capable autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) to operate on long-duration, long-range missions in ocean environments without the need for on-site human logistics.”
DARPA tapped defense contractor Northrop Grumman to create a prototype of the Manta Ray.
Northrop Grumman Corporation has announced the successful completion of the Manta Ray prototype, an uncrewed underwater vehicle designed to conduct long-duration, long-range missions in challenging ocean environments.
Named after the sea creature, Manta Ray represents a leap forward in Northrop Grumman’s undersea exploration technology, offering autonomous operation without the need for on-site human support.
According to GlobalData’s Thematic Intelligence on unmanned maritime vehicles, Northrop’s expertise in advanced networking solutions and platform development has led to its participation in the Angler UUV development programme for the US Navy alongside the Manta Ray programme.
Developed as part of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiative, Manta Ray incorporates technologies to enhance energy management, increase payload capacity, and optimise propulsion efficiency. These advancements pave the way for extended undersea missions, making Manta Ray a versatile platform with a variety of applications.

For almost three years now, people on the right have been calling the crisis on the southern border an invasion. It’s difficult to see it as anything else.
When thousands of people, mostly military aged men, are crossing your border on a daily basis, what else could you call it?
Liberals have resisted the use of the term ‘invasion’ for the most part, until now.
Warning signs: Democrats call border a ‘crisis’ and ‘invasion’
A majority of Democrats have joined with Republicans and independents in decrying the Biden border crisis, adding to the building pressure on the White House to fix its three years of immigration blundering.
Just one day after revealing data showing that people believe the immigration disaster is President Joe Biden’s way of building a “permanent majority” of liberal voters for the Democratic Party, Rasmussen Reports said most voting groups agree the situation is at a crisis stage.
By a margin of 69%-22%, likely voters believe the open borders that have allowed in record numbers of illegal immigrants are a crisis. That includes 51% of Democrats, 63% of black people, 65% of women, and 64% of younger voters.
Nearly as many see it as an “invasion,” by a 64%-33% margin. That includes 46% of Democrats, 66% of black people, 60% of women, and 62% of younger voters.
Of course, Republicans have had no problem calling this what it is.
Unlike the Democrats, who are KILLING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE by allowing the INVASION OF THE MIGRANTS, I will NOT… pic.twitter.com/HafT901Pto
Minneapolis residents urge city to shut down neighborhood homeless encampment after explosion, stabbing
Residents of a Minneapolis neighborhood have asked city leaders to shut down a recently installed homeless encampment following a series of concerning incidents, including an explosion.
Phillip West neighbors and the Minneapolis police said the homeless encampment was set up on March 27 on the 2900 block of Fifth Avenue South, according to 5 Eyewitness News.
“We’re scared out of our minds. I’ve had people on my porch at 2 a.m. and there’s needles on the ground,” one resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said. “There’s broken glass everywhere, and we have a ton of kids that live on this block.”
The neighbor also told the outlet that residents had sent a letter to Mayor Jacob Frey, Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) Chief Brian O’Hara and the City Council asking them to take action.
Since the encampment was set up almost two weeks ago, there have allegedly been over a dozen calls to the location, including a drug overdose, a stabbing and an explosion.
Here’s a local video report:
Why do people choose to live this way?

In 2020, Donald Trump made significant gains among black voters. In 2024, the numbers are even greater.
According to a new Wall Street Journal poll, Trump’s support among black men and women has doubled since 2020.
Many people are attributing these gains to the crisis at the southern border, which is now seriously impacting American cities across the country, as well as inflation and the Biden economy.
WSJ Poll: Donald Trump Nearly Doubles Support Among Black Men and Women Since 2020
Thirty percent of black men and 11 percent of black women intend to vote for former President Donald Trump in 2024, Wall Street Journal polling found Thursday, which is a significant increase from 2020 data.
Losing black support would be a blow to President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.
Only 12 percent of black men voted for Trump in 2020, voting data shows. There is no compatible 2020 polling for black men.
In 2020, six percent of black women said they would vote for Trump, Associated Press polling found, five points less than the Journal‘s 2024 polling.
In more good news for Trump, 42 percent of black women remain up for grabs in 2024, the Journal survey showed…
This news should worry Democrats and the Biden campaign.
