News Briefs – 04/11/2024

Here are some news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of an unreliable news media, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages.

We have an advertiser, The Daily Financial Trends – a financial news aggregator designed to deliver the data other financial sites deliver, but in a fraction of the time. Give them a click and see if you prefer getting your financial news there.

Reauthorization for the 702 FISA surveillance program was blocked Wednesday by a conservative revolt, pushing the prospects of final passage into uncertainty amid a looming deadline. Things were shaky until Trump Truthed out they needed to kill it because it was used to spy on his campaign. That should mark a pretty big shot across the bow of the intelligence community by Trump. They all demanded it, and with one Truth, he torpedoed it cold.

The 19 Reps who moved to kill it:

1.Rep. Dan Bishop (N.C.)

2. Rep. Lauren Boebert (Colo.)

3. Rep. Tim Burchett (Tenn.)

4. Rep. Michael Cloud (Texas)

5. Rep. Eli Crane (Ariz.)

6. Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.)

7. Rep. Bob Good (Va.)

8. Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.)

9. Rep. Clay Higgins (La.)

10. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (Fla.)

11. Rep. Nancy Mace (S.C.)

12. Rep. Cory Mills (Fla.)

13. Rep. Ralph Norman (S.C.)

14. Rep. Andy Ogles (Tenn.)

15. Rep. Scott Perry (Pa.)

16. Rep. Matt Rosendale (Mont.)

17. Rep. Chip Roy (Texas)

18. Rep. Greg Steube (Fla.)

19. Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.)

Conservative Treehouse points out there are over 10,000 log-in portals to the NSA database, including one in the FBI satellite office inside the Democrat law firm Perkins Coie.

Bill Barr blasts Trump for call to kill FISA: ‘Crazy and reckless.’ Never Trust CIA.

While the DOJ failed to conduct a thorough probe of Lt. Byrd’s shooting of Ashli Babbitt, the FBI opened a posthumous criminal investigation of Ashli Babbitt, new documents obtained by Judicial Watch reveal.

Trump’s motorcade gets the entire highway shut down, so it can move unimpeded. I have no idea if that is standard procedure for an ex-President of his stature, but his motorcade does not look offhandedly like a standard post-Presidential motorcade. I am also thinking when his plane was being refit, if may have gotten more installed onboard than just a few new pieces of furniture.

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.”

Tucker Carlson: “Secretive Federal Agencies Are Trying to RIG Our Presidential Election.”

Justice Department uncovers ‘inconsistencies’ in Fani Willis’s use of federal grant funds.

Jack Smith signals he’ll try to circumvent SCOTUS if it says obstruction charges aren’t real crimes.

Megyn Kelly says Trump will be convicted in hush money case: ‘No doubt’ due to left-wing New York Jury, even though he should definitely not be.

Now Michael Avenatti is doing MSNBC hits from prison defending Donald Trump.

Former Trump executive Allen Weisselberg sentenced to five months in jail for perjury. He said he was not focused closely on the details regarding the valuation of Trumps’ Triplex Apartment.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria tries to egg Finland’s leader into blasting Trump, gets Trump compliments instead.

All that Biden student loan forgiveness, and young voters are still going for Trump.

Members of a Seattle regional women’s country line dance team were reportedly kicked out of a Seattle dance convention after organizers claimed their American flag-themed shirts made some attendees feel “triggered and unsafe.” We are programmed to say, well, some Americans feel that way. But do they? Would this make more sense if the people in power were part of a foreign conspiracy to overthrow the United States government, and aggressive displays of patriotism brought to mind the reality that if their plans were exposed, the war would start, and they could not possibly win it, and would be expelled from the nation and possibly killed? It feels like even if leftists felt that way, they would not tarnish their brand by being open about it.

Biden says he’s ‘considering’ ENDING the prosecution of Julian Assange after Australia urged U.S. to drop WikiLeaks founder’s case.

Biden: I’ll consider further unilateral action on guns, can’t believe Trump said ‘no one’s going to touch your guns.’

Chicago slammed with 57 cases of measles in migrant shelters, one case less than entire country in 2023.

Tucker Carlson’s adult children are registered Democrats despite his Conservative views.

County next to New York City proposes making a database of potential citizens who could be deputized in the event of an emergency to protect critical infrastructure if Police and Fire officials were overwhelmed and emergency deputies were needed. Politicians freak out, calling it a militia made up of vigilantes and Brownshirts, and try to get the list eliminated. The unspoken reality is if things get bad, zombies will come wandering out of the city to their neighborhoods looking to take what they can. The other unspoken reality is, just as politicians seem to want the destruction  produced by the migrant crisis, and to see criminals savage the population, they also seem to want to see the feral animals of the city overrun their own communities, and the local leaders powerless to stop them.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs loses 18 brand partnerships amid sexual assault allegations. Do you think it is brand-conscious companies which are getting away from Diddy, or Cabal revenue streams from laundering ops being shifted away from a subsidiary which is just under too much heat to operate right now?

Freshman Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggested that black Americans should be exempt from paying taxes as a form of reparations but then said it might not work because of the black people who are “not paying taxes in the first place.” LOL.

A U.S. Navy photo posted to social media is being mocked for showing a commander shooting an AR-platform rifle with the scope mounted backwards. Some are saying it was a prank of an officer, but that seems a career killer. I am wondering if it is possible this is another AI photo, and the AI didn’t know how the scope was mounted, or where a the foregrip should be mounted. Middle fingernail on his left hand looks suspect too, though he could bite them.

LGBTQ dating group on Facebook for 8-year-olds sparks concerns.

Man has two healthy fingers amputated for ‘Body Integrity Dysphoria,’ after he experienced “profound distress” over his left hand’s fourth and fifth fingers.

Islands that climate alarmists said would soon “disappear” due to rising sea found to have grown in size.

Do Boeing 777 And Dreamliner 787 Aircraft Also Have Quality Issues? The FAA Is Investigating New Claims…Boeing has hit back, noting it has rigorous processes in place.

New DNA testing on 2,000-year-old elongated Paracas skulls changes known history, as it shows Middle Eastern and European DNA.

The Israeli air force is reportedly training to strike “sensitive” Iranian nuclear sites.

Wall Street Silver:

Australia’s Banks Are Already Refusing Cash Withdrawals For Their Customers:

“I thought it was absolutely crazy”

“How can you go to a bank and not get your own money out?”

“I thought she misheard what I wanted”

“What’s in the bank if there’s no cash?”

“They just said”

“I’m so sorry we can’t help you”

The Riksbanken — Sweden’s central bank — announced that it had lost some 44 billion kr (£3.2 billion), equal to half of the nation’s defense budget, and it needed that much money from the state in order to return to the minimal level of capitalization stipulated by the law.

Argentine President Javier Milei blamed politics for being unable to fulfill his campaign promise of dollarizing the country’s economy, suggesting that such a move could have led to his impeachment.

A young woman was arrested in the eastern French city of Besançon and faces up to a year in prison for holding up a sign calling for the deportation of foreign rapists.

American Drnes are being beaten out in Ukraine by Chinese drones.

Sen. Rand Paul challenges Sen. McConnell to a debate regarding his ‘Ukraine First policy.’

New Virgin/Chad Meme on /pol:

 

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned that recent Ukrainian attacks targeting Russian oil refineries could have a “knock-on effect” on the global energy market, Bloomberg reported on April 9. Globohomo gets Ukraine’s leaders into this, puts them in a position where if they lose, they all die brutal deaths, cuts off their funding, and then tells them to not target Russian oil, because we don’t want to pay an extra 5 cents per gallon. It is comical, really.

From a Ukrainian on the ground in Kiev, we might finally see the Ukraine war come to a close, mercifully, if we can get Congress to hold the line and not send any more aid:

Ukraine now lacking air defense, Russian jets freely fly over the front line as they never have, free to accurately hit Ukrainian positions with guided aerial bombs.

There’s nothing Ukraine can do now but lose positions.

The West needs to understand what this soon means

Interesting video of the use of a Laser cleaning device in an auto restoration shop.

Louisiana House passes bill allowing you to drive over protestors.

Nebraska goes into special session to become a winner take all state which will prevent Biden from getting the single electoral vote which Democrats usually get.

Speaker Mike Johnson claims classified briefing made him flip-flop on spy powers reform. He’s probably not lying. The classified briefing probably contained video from the bedroom of every dalliance, affair, and homosexual encounter he has ever had.

Biden backs FISA bill as Speaker Mike Johnson moves again to renew spy powers authority. The guy who was literally molesting his little daughter in the shower supports the FISA bill. How puzzling.

Thomas Massie:

Tomorrow at 8 am, I’ll manage floor debate on the FISA 702 Reauthorization Rule, which makes in order 6 votes on amendments, including one that will require FBI to get a warrant before searching for Americans’ data.

A similar rule failed yesterday, preventing a vote on warrants.

The Deep State prepares for a Trump victory. I would assume contingency planning, though you never know.

Trump tests limits of gag order with post insulting 2 likely witnesses in criminal trial.

Trump campaign demands Biden debate him ‘much earlier’ and more often. I predict no debates.

Special Counsel Jack Smith suggested he ignore the Supreme Court if it reverses the obstruction statute this summer.

The stealth scheme to scrap the electoral college and award the Presidency to the candidate who wins the popular vote is 76% complete.

Reflection in Biden’s sunglasses shows him reading instructions from his handlers.

President Joe Biden should be “impeached and imprisoned” for pledging to direct funds to Bursima Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company that employed Hunter Biden, former Obama White House aide Mike McCormick reported in a new book.

GOP Rep. Stefanik reveals there is an incriminating audio recording of Biden telling his ghostwriter, “I just found all the classified documents stuff downstairs.” He didn’t even know where he had left it.

‘Reacher’ star Alan Ritchson attacks Christians who support ‘rapist’ Trump: ‘He’s their poster child.’  This is the actor on Reacher. Just last week, he explained he stopped modeling because it was just human trafficking, and in his last job they handed him off to a gay guy who took him to a motel room, “for some nude pictures,” and despite being built like a tank, he implied he ended up taking in the pooper anyway, tried to hang himself, and then decided he really didn’t want to do this modelling stuff anymore.

Tucker Carlson: A consistent theme of American foreign policy is that it is always the Christians who suffer.

President Biden’s new student debt relief plan is estimated to cost around $84 billion if it is implemented, according to a Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM) analysis released Thursday. Didn’t he already get told by the courts he lacked this authority?

BlazeTV exposes: how DC politicians get filthy rich.

Sen. Rand Paul to investigate Dr. Fauci’s alleged ‘secret CIA visits’ prior to COVID-19 outbreak.

Sexually transmitted infection rates have risen sharply among adults 55 and older, CDC data shows. If we are lucky, we may get another Vox Day song out of this, based on boomers now having a “detachable penis.”

Monkeypox cases have been elevated since October, with an average of roughly 200 monthly cases detected per month, spurring efforts to avoid a summer surge like what was seen in 2022.

Denver plans to defund its Police force to pay for illegal immigrants.

Denver mayor allocates $90 million for illegal migrants.

The Biden administration announced Thursday morning that the Department of Justice has finalized a new rule that requires many gun sellers offering firearms at gun shows or online to obtain a license and conduct background checks.

Ninth Circuit appears set to ignore Bruen and support restrictive gun control laws on magazines, Assault Weapons, and carry limitations, setting up Supreme showdown.

Democrat Arizona AG says she will not enforce 1864 law banning most abortions.

Harvard finally reinstates the SAT for admissions. The meritocracy returns?

OJ Simpson dead at 76 after cancer battle.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre offered condolences Thursday following the death of OJ Simpson — but made no mention of the two people he was accused, and sensationally acquitted, of killing nearly three decades ago. That whole OJ episode has the feel of a Cabal script. I do not know if, like the rapper for Public Enemy claimed Kanye and Michael Jordan did, OJ went to the Mason’s lodge, swore the oath to lucifer and agreed to a sacrifice, and this was what happened, or if they told him to do it, or if they just did it and framed him to get the script moving. But the whole OJ murder episode feels like one of their episodes, to distract, divide, and weaken the population’s ability to resist.

A 54-year-old Minnesota man was convicted Thursday in the slaying of a high school student and stabbing of four other people who were tubing on a western Wisconsin river. Fuck around and find out should really be a legitimate legal defense. “Your Honor, you can clearly see the victims were fucking around…”

Study reveals mechanism linking heart disease to cancer development – Spironolactone helps heart function while reducing cancer promotion by 30%.

Rashida Tlaib refuses to condemn ‘death to America’ chants at rally in district.

Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Board member Lisa DeNell Cook’s entire academic career has been found to be fraudulent. From faking research data, to outright plagiarism, to lying on her resume.

A Planet Fitness gymgoer was arrested after allegedly walking around totally naked in the women’s locker room … claiming they identified as a woman and  repeatedly asking women in the locker room to lotion one another up and then hop in the shower with him. (Gasp) – Transphobia! We need to get the trannies boycotting Planet Fitness now.

Boeing whistleblower reportedly claims 787 planes could break apart mid-air due to construction flaws.

A Mexican drug cartel used death threats to force a tribal leader to back out of testifying to Congress this week, according to another tribal leader who did show up to tell lawmakers just how much power the drug lords have accumulated. You eliminate CIA, and Mexico will clean that shit up overnight. The greatest evil in the world, right in our own backyard, and all around us in our neighborhoods. What would Chesty Puller say?

Former British Police Officer uncovers a major nationwide fraud operation in which bank employees are producing forged documents to hide mismanagement of funds, tries to share it with the media and the government, and finds it is all being covered up by all people. Sounds like it might be Cabal getting banks to invest depositor funds in fraudulent companies which do not exist, but which the bank will claim appeared legitimate, absolving them of responsibility.

Alan Dershowitz said if Biden refuses military aid to Israel that he will leave the Democrat Party. Check out the narrative about where his loyalties lie. Destroy America, no problem. Fuck with Israel, problem. Now imagine he was given those lines. What percent of Jews in the US want these migrants, and want criminals released on no-bail laws?

Yuval Harari: “Human rights are like heaven and like God, just a fictional story that we have invented and spread around.” Lets take Sam’s ultra blackpilled views of the Jews. Are they this stupid? Would they say this out loud? Would you ever say this out loud? I take this as a sign the scriptwriters are turning the plot. And this Jew has no problem bringing a Holocaust on all the rest of the Jews. I understand it is tough. My whole goal at 18 was to get to a place where loyalty was real, and I would not be surrounded by people like I was and am surrounded by. Unfortunately, you and I, Jew-anon, are fucked. We are surrounded by people to whom we are just an assignment, and that assignment is to neutralize us and betray us. You have to face reality. The world you thought you lived in does not exist. Jews always loyal to Jews was always an illusion to weaken you. There are still good Jews. Your kind is still out there. Hold loyalty with them. But this thing will have isolated you from them, as it seeks to exploit your loyalty for itself. Burn these “leaders” the conspiracy has foisted upon you. Turn on them. Get others to reject them. Join with your kind, both Jew and not-Jew, against the Cabal, and lets all destroy this thing, so we can get that world we thought was out there.

The Hamas terror group has expressed uncertainty as to whether it could gather 40 civilian hostages for release in a prisoner swap deal with Israel, officials familiar with the negotiations said.

The extent of China’s soil pollution, long guarded as a state secret, was laid out in an official report that confirmed deep-seated fears about contaminated farmland and the viability of the country’s food supply.

U.S. sets record for foreign military sales amid Ukraine war, says Pentagon.

Russian airstrikes destroy Kyiv’s largest power plant. Reminds me of the Chad saboteur:

Russian spacecraft comes within 10m of destroying U.S. Satellite, NASA ‘shocked.’ Satellite weapons will be a big problem. I don’t think Havana is satellite based, but if it is (and it would explain it being rolled out in Russia and China) there will not be a lot of good defenses, beyond taking out the satellites. Of course that will not be easy for dissidents.

Louis Rossman has a high-pitched whine in his office:

Some of you have pointed out that in my videos over the past four months I do in my downstairs office in my house, there is a high pitched whine. This entire time, I thought that was me getting tinnitus from getting old.

It’s not. It’s actually there. and I can’t figure out what it is. It’s driving me nuts. I was walking into the bathroom and each time I did, the “tinnitus” went away. FML.

This should be easy, given the acoustic absorption on the wall – that foam is cheap shit, but the cheap shit is bad at absorbing *low* frequencies, not *high* frequencies like 6k-14k. And higher frequencies are more directional. This should be easy to figure out.

I have no idea where it’s coming from though. 🙁

It is always possible it is some transformer or something. But I have had this, and it was not a transformer. In my case, it almost walked the line between a sound you could hear, and a piercing sensation deep in the ear drum. I went in a bedroom once, and it was amplified to the point there was a physical buzz, bordering on pressure, you could feel, and hear, coming off all the walls and ceiling. I stood for a moment, taking it in, it was so surreal. I opened a sliding glass door, stuck my head out, and it was still silence out there. I pulled my head in, and everything was abuzz. Back out total still silence, back in everything, walls, ceiling, bed, all just buzzing. I believe, unless I am mistaken, it was Redclaw here who had a Freemason move in next door, the high pitched whine started, and then it left when he finally moved away. In my experience, this very slightly degrades cognitive function, and tires you out somewhat. They seem to put it where you are doing the things they do not like, I suspect to try and attach a subtle discomfort to it psychologically, in hopes you will decide you don’t like doing what they don’t want you doing, without really knowing why. That may be why it is in his office. But it varies in intensity and as with Lou, you will tend to think it is a nervous phenomenon when it first happens at lower levels, if you notice it.

I have no doubt you will see more of this as time goes on. We were the beta test subjects for a raft of different kinds of devices like this, and now that they have seen how it all works on us, what I have been saying here will gradually begin to be seen everywhere, including in your own real life.

House passes FISA reauthorization bill after previous GOP setback.

Eighty-six House Republicans vote for warrantless surveillance of Americans. The list of traitors is here.

Speaker Johnson defiant after casting deciding vote, breaking 212-212 tie, to continue Deep State’s warrantless surveillance.

When chance favors an opposing intelligence operation, it usually isn’t chance. Either she never had the flu, or someone infected her. I lean toward her just being corrupt. I could have lost both legs and I would have dragged my stumps in there to vote, and she should have too.

Thomas Massie:

This is how the Constitution dies.

By a tie vote, the amendment to require a warrant to spy on Americans goes down in flames.

This is a sad day for America.

The Speaker doesn’t always vote in the House, but he was the tie breaker today. He voted against warrants.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna has called for a rare procedural move to delay the Senate’s consideration of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 extension, pushing for a new vote in the House of Representatives. She clearly is not sharp enough to come up with this herself. The question is did she hire a sharp advisor, or is she being given lines in the script? I tend toward the latter.

FBI interrogated Trump’s valet driver without Trump’s knowledge – and turned ambush interview into perjury trap: Court docs. You wonder how many others we don’t know about were turned into spies for the intelligence community as it sought to take out a duly elected President.

Speaker Johnson unveils voter legislation during press conference with Donald Trump: Proof of U.S. citizenship required for federal elections — Will remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.

Biden is indicating that he will not debate former president Trump this year. They can’t. He is too far gone.

National Guard whistleblowers to testify they were ready to be deployed on Jan.6 but Pentagon delayed orders – will DESTROY J6 Committee’s BIG LIE!

DNC paid $1.5 million legal bill for Joe Biden’s classified docs scandal.

Federal judge rejects Hunter Biden bid to dismiss gun charges in special counsel case.

‘Are you kidding me?’: Biden-appointed judge torches DOJ for blowing off Hunter Biden-related subpoenas from House GOP.

The Biden administration announced Friday it was forgiving another $7.4 billion in student debt for another 277,000 borrowers. So far, Biden has cancelled $153 billion in debt for 4.3 million people.

The homeless migrant who was busted joyriding on a historic FDNY fireboat and then swiping a sailboat for another leisurely ride was released without bail Friday — only to immediately try to climb aboard an even bigger ship in Manhattan, according to sources, who said immigration officials’ hands are tied.

A suspected illegal immigrant from Venezuela tried his luck at robbing a bank in Ohio this week, although the heist went awry after he was unable to get a translator app to communicate what he wanted.

Louisiana silencer case ends with plea deal which preserves right to appeal.

Won’t You BEMy (Work)Friend? Only two in 10 people say they have a best friend at work. But companies, aware of how much culture matters, say trying to foster friendships couldn’t be more awkward. You tend to think this is surveillance destroying our ability to bond with each other. I can’t criticize their ability, they got me too. I was even thinking a while back, suppose there is a war on the family, and Cabal is even trying to career-ize girls with feminism, and promote promiscuity and onlyfans, and MK Ultra cultural shit like Sex and the City. When guys and gals signed up for dating apps controlled by the conspiracy (as I am now sure they all were) imagine the fun surveillance had, matching the chaste, loyal girls up with the players who would pump and dump them over and over, forcing them on the carousel, and hooking the loyal monogamous guys up with the sluts who would two time them every Wednesday with their ex-con ex-BF. No wonder nobody is marrying and having kids, if that as the goal of a Stasi-like intel operation in every neighborhood at the community level. Because we all look at the global programs to fuck over American society, and nobody realizes once every neighborhood has a file archivist who has responsibility to actually personally know the 200-300 targets under him, as well as a surveillance team embedded within it, those global programs can be, and will be, very easily atomized, customized, and individualized at a granular level. Especially when Cabal controls all the tech like this.

Police admit that “two factions” of Muslims shot at each other at the Ramadan event in Philly yesterday.

From the comments, video claims Michael Jackson faked his death, and went on TV afterward to eulogize himself in makeup, pretending to be a guy who was burned as a child. The Jackson one looks interesting, though obviously it seems too strange. And it is possible the guy picked up the mannerisms as some kind of fan. But you never know these days.

OJ Simpson talks about how he might have killed Nicole hypothetically.

Of course, Juice died of cancer:

If Cabal existed in the Persian Empire, as a hidden hand, could it have survived, through Rome, the Vatican, Europe, and America today? Also Kerry’s daughter married a high ranking Iranian government official, IIRC:

In just four years, tens of millions of dollars flowed from CCP-tied military companies to DC lobbyists.

UK intelligence officials have been repeatedly targeted in “honeytrap” plots as Chinese spies ramp up efforts to glean national secrets through seduction and blackmail. It is incredibly common.

China’s economy ‘imploding’ as property market plunges, and experts issue warning of chaos around the globe.

Ex-Shin Bet chief: Netanyahu unfit for office, leading Israel to its doom. Signs of a change in the guard over there, at the same time something seems to be happening in nations all across the globe.

Trump calls Biden ‘pretty pathetic’ for saying Iran is about to strike Israel and warns there could be a ‘world war’ before the election: Donald insists Tehran would have NEVER attacked if he was president.

U.S. moves MORE forces into the Middle East to prepare for ‘imminent’ Iranian strike on Israel: Pentagon sends aircraft carrier that can intercept missiles to the Red Sea in warning to Tehran.

Iran warns U.S. to stay out of fight with Israel or face attack on troops.

Man claims more than 50 children were sexually abused by ‘paedophile’ catholic monks on UK holy island in scandal as bad as ‘Jimmy Savile’ as new probe launched.

In Germany, AfD candidate wins Mayoral election, judge rules it invalid on technicalities, orders new election.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued orders to Kremlin-controlled agencies regarding the development of a nuclear energy program for space after a February warning from the White House that Russia has the capability for an anti-satellite space-based weapon while stressing that it is not operational. Looks like the nuclear power plant is for the moon, which means after abandoning the moon, exactly like the US, now the Russians are suddenly looking at going back, as if something changed. Also, the Russians have to be wondering if The Beam is satellite based, and that is how the Cabal is hitting our officers in all these different countries, and if it is, how they can take it out if it is used against them. I suspect now what I am being hit with is not satellite based, but is two devices 150 feet away, which alone appear harmless. But you have to wonder how they hit Navalny in the middle of nowhere, to try and make Putin look bad, given the perfect timing which makes it appear a likely hit. And I think the Russians heard chatter saying somebody was preparing to hit Navalny, which is why a couple of weeks before he died they suddenly moved him to a new prison, and tried to keep the location a secret. And still he was likely hit. That could be a satellite.

Russian attacks are growing more effective as Ukraine depletes its armory.

China is helping Russia ramp up its defense industrial base at such a large scale that Moscow is now undertaking its most ambitious expansion in military manufacturing since the Soviet era as it continues its war against Ukraine.

Russia is bolstering its forces for the war in Ukraine at a “far faster” rate than the United States originally estimated, a top general said.

Russian political scientist Dmitry Evstafiev insisted that it’s now a foregone conclusion that Putin will have to unleash nuclear weapons upon Europe. Sounds crazy, but then you look at all the articles at this 4Chan link, and you can see Europe is clearly girding for a world war.

This is pretty typical for my interactions on social media:

Neoplatonist writes on Gab:

So-called “HAVANA SYNDROME” is caused by two devices, one for REAL TIME thru the wall triangulation (many such tech platforms exist, including using existing WIFI) which “scopes” the target in real time, and the other AT LEAST a 50WATT X-RAY laser. The X-ray laser and power supply would fit in a slim briefcase for volume sake, and can target (inverse square of the distance) people at 400+ YARDS. ALL SYMPTOMS and basis of the attack are XRAY laser, not sonic or countless other nonsense people have speculated about, the main XRAY element (not the power supply and circuitry) is seen below, its very simple and small. The XRAY LASER alone is INSUFFICIENT, real time targeting tech is also required (just as a good hunting rifle needs a SCOPE). BOTH the targeting tech and XRAY LASER and power supply would fit into a medium sized briefcase. END OF STORY……see my facebook page for PICTURES since the scum here wont let you post pictures

I respond:

@Neoplatonist – Three questions. Can you give the facebook address? How do you know this? Can you explain the mechanism by which the X-ray beam creates an impulse of force at a 90 degree angle to the direction of the beam when encountering charged metal or statically charged objects? Does the X-ray laser offer enough spillover to pick up the X-rays with a Geiger counter’s Geiger-Mueller tube?

For the record I videotaped myself in thermal being hit, and the activator was some kind of focused beam. See:

Also would be interesting to know if any of the EM effect on the audio there might be probative? From that it appears they are charging the environment with some kind of static electricity, using whatever produced the deep hum.

No response for a week, and there are only two other comments on the post, so it is not getting lost. That is pretty standard for me, and why I do not waste much time on social media. I would think since I have thermal video of a Havana-type beaming in progress in the link I gave him, and audio which captured EM signatures as well, it would be interesting to someone like him, and he would say something. But you do not know, did he just not stop by Gab since then and not see it? Is he Cabal, and I am threatening to screw up his distribution of a Cabal narrative, and he doesn’t know what to do? Did he never even see my comment because my comments are hidden from everyone but me? Or an I confined to a different silo and never shall we meet or cross paths? No idea. But something is off in my dealings there. For that matter, I find myself wondering how I can possibly routinely recognize various posters at various sites, like Free Republic.

A recent survey by Intuit found that U.S. high school students want to learn about personal finance in schools but that many lack access to such courses at school. When I went to public school, I had zero doubt it was there to make me as great at whatever I was good at as possible, so as to make the whole nation as great at everything as possible. Now, I am amazed I was so clueless, as I look on public school as simply an intel-gathering op designed to finger the bright students who might prove problematic for the elites, and a psyop so they can stifle and suppress them. Don’t be naive like me. You are in a war, where your freedom is the biggest threat, and there is a hidden enemy gunning to steal it from you every moment. For now, it is a cold war of intelligence techniques known to only a few, but a time will come when it will become known to all and go hot and kinetic. Our only chance against their tech will be overwhelming numbers and psychopathic brutality and ruthlessness. Be sure to pull your weight quickly, forcefully, and ruthlessly when the time comes, alongside everyone else. Every American jumping in all at once, will probably be our side’s only chance.

We will be moving this News Brief to the main domain in the near future, so you will find this at anonymousconservative.com, instead of anonymousconservative.com/blog I have a lot going on right now, and it will take time to make sure it goes right, so not right away. I will try to redirect people from /blog to there, but if that doesn’t work, just go to the main domain.

 

 

I am keeping the EMF 390 going now in rf browser mode, sitting on a desk untouched, and when I begin to feel the electricity, I can see the number of spikes increase (though the number in the upper left only fluctuates higher, and does not stay high). The numbers in the upper left in the image below will cycle between o.oo-something mw/m2 and 200, and sometimes even higher, maybe 250-300 during the sensations. Usually it will bounce between about 15 and 130, in a location which usually is around 1-2.

However every so often as it is fluctuating, it will do what you see below, in the lower right. Once I saw it as it happened in the upper left, and that exact 34419mw/m2 registered for about 1.5 seconds, before it dropped to 109.something, and kept going, fluctuating. It seems to register that number, precisely, about once in three to six hours. Most of the other times it has a high of about 3o to 170. As I am about to publish this, the neighbors at the house I suspect just took off for the day, and it registers no higher than 0.6, and is mostly 0.1-0.35.

The first photo below is what you’d see maybe five minutes after turning it on while feeling nothing (albeit they are there), and the others are two days, which were cleared in between, which show the exact same 34419mw/m2 as a high. Number two is during the weird electrical sensation and number three is not during the sensation, so you can see the differences in the peaks. It doesn’t look like 34419 but I was looking at the big number up in the left once when that hit, and there was no decimal point, and that is a 9 at the end. I did a double take and looked closely when I saw it live, but was kind of buzzed by the beam and didn’t think to photo it, instead looking closely to see if it would hit again, but it didn’t and at the end of the day I killed the meter to recharge it. As I have been writing this, I just looked up and the high peak went from 4812 to 34419 again. Same 114 v/m.

My question is, might that be one pulse of many pulses which are so short the meter is missing it most of the time, and only catches it once here and there? In other words, could there be a lot of those pulses, but the meter is only catching one out of a hundred or a thousand because they are short and it only measures when they hit rarely? Or is it more likely it is just one big pulse they send out once every so often to degrade something or do something?

Is it probative that it is that precise in amplitude? I mean I moved it about seven feet away, and get the same precise amount recorded as a high, so that pulse is hitting the whole house, at that level. Shouldn’t it vary with distance from the source, and maybe even other random variables like rain or atmosphere or reflections and interference, especially that high a reading? Would some other interjection, like a magnetic field, or a particle beam, or rf laser, or something unique, be indicated by the precise reading, as that other interjection somehow reliably triggers the detector that precisely, in a way which would be difficult with rf? Would it indicate some system which is adjusting output by a reading it is taking in real time feedback, to get such precision?

It is not close to any electronics when that happens, and even if I put it up against my router, I can only get up to about 700-900 on that scale. Might this point to something in my house, since the nearest house is 75-100 feet away, and the one I think it is coming from is 150-200 feet out?

And though I hesitate to ask, what would health implications be of something like that, with that amplitude, albeit pulsed two to eight times per day? The Geiger counter does not register anything if that is any measure of anything.

This first one was photo’d exactly between readings in the upper left, hence the blurriness, but it shows five minutes after turning it on, when nothing is happening, what the high readings are at the bottom:

In the midst of the electrical tiring-out, right after the 34419 pulse:

Nothing seemed to be happening overly of note here, however I noticed it had hit the high again after being zeroed out by a restart:

Same precise number. I know I have to read the instructions on this thing. I am just totally spent on everything lately, especially with this stuff, and have not yet been able to get it to the top of the list. I feel kind of like I am racing the beam to get the book done and website up, and all of this exposed, while keeping the current readership with this brief each day, while dragging my ass.

OK, here is something weird. I just thought after writing all that, I have a precise reading that happens over and over, I wonder, if this is being used elsewhere, has anyone else seen the same reading. So I searched 34419 on Google, and here is what I see – another TI three years ago, with the same 114v/m and 34419 mw2/m2 reading on the same meter:

DEW Attack; Perp Comes Into The Attic Space Above My Apartment At Night. Tell Perp He Turned On His Range-R Radar. He Turns It Off, Then Back On Again. Then Hit In Face With 34 W (34,419 mW/m2) of S-Band Radar.
byu/AlteHexer inpsychotronicweapons

The same guy, I think, goes into more detail here, and apparently had another post here, but I have no idea if he knows what he is talking about. But he seems to have seen the 34419 number a few times too. A mod there seems to think his analysis of the readings is off, but everything is a psyop and all of it is outside my wheelhouse, so I do not know. That said, does it make sense he is getting the exact same reading? Shouldn’t it be very tough to replicate that exact number, even under identical circumstances, as something comes between the source and detector, and reflections and interference come into play? How is it doing it reliably not just at my house, but at two different residences, on two separate meters? Could that be the meter maxing out?

I just felt the electricity, looked up, and the meter’s live reading was 34419 again. And now this is twenty minutes later after that, and it is there again. That is four times as I have been working on this post, always 34419.

Can anyone deduce the significance of that number?

CNN legal analysts writes of the hush money case, “The crime is a paperwork offense relating to how Trump and his businesses logged a series of perfectly legal (if unseemly) hush-money payments in their own internal records. The prosecution’s star witness is a convicted perjurer and fraudster who openly spews vitriol at the defendant, often in grotesque terms, essentially for a living. The famously aggressive feds at the Southern District of New York passed on the case years ago, and current Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg’s predecessor could have indicted before he left office but did not. The charges are either misdemeanors or the lowest-level felonies (depending on how the jury decides the case), and the vast majority of defendants convicted of similar offenses are sentenced to probation and fines, not prison.”

Joe Biden has gifted Iran with over $80 billion since entering the White House.

Joe Biden tacitly approved Iran’s assault on Israel ‘within certain limits.’ Strange, and definitely different than in the past. Netanyahu maybe not being under Cabal’s thumb is the only obvious difference, though there could be something else behind the scenes.

Countering Iran’s overnight attack costs Israel $1.35B: Israeli media.

Biden privately fears ‘catastrophic escalation’ as Israel draws up plans to attack Iran in retaliation for 350-missile attack: Trump slams ailing president’s ‘weakness’ as experts warn America is ‘sleepwalking into another war.’

Israel describes Iran’s 350-missile attack as a ‘declaration of war’ and vows more ‘offensive and defensive action.’

Some of these people are seeing things differently, so their decisions might not make perfect sense to others:

GOP lawmakers demand US retaliate against Iran over attack on Israel, pushes aid package: ‘long past time for Iran to pay.’

Dem Rep. Garamendi: Passing Israel aid will be ‘very difficult’ if they don’t change Gaza tactics.

More Americans want Biden to encourage Israel to cease military action in Gaza: Poll. We do not elect our leaders.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has approved a tenfold increase in the magnitude of strikes against Israel if Netanyahu decides to escalate the situation further… which will be more than 1,000 ballistic missiles.

Rand Paul – Speaker Johnson should tell Chuck Schumer to pass the aid for Israel which was already passed by the House and paid for, and is sitting in the Senate waiting for a vote, and not create a whole new package with Ukraine, which has no funding and which will have to incur more debt. He predicts Johnson will cave.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will push for aid to Israel and Ukraine THIS WEEK.

Russian foreign minister calls Israeli strike on Iranian diplomatic mission in Damascus ‘political killing.’ It may have been, and not even for bad reasons. We know there are a lot of ties between American Cabal – the conspiracy subverting the governments of the west – and Iran, as was detailed in this graphic, which neglected to mention Kerry’s daughter married an Iranian government official:

No telling if the dead may have been assets of the Western Cabal’s command, or even agents of the counter-conspiracy, working deep inside the belly of the beast.

Ukraine’s top commander says Russia aims to capture Chasiv Yar by May 9. Maybe it is me, but it feels like the Russians are inching toward Kiev, at a rate which will lead to the fall of Ukraine in late October.

I have set a surveillance camera recording both the TinySA ultra (set on accuracy to fast, LNR checked, big number, Ultra mode), and below it the EMF390 running in rf browser. This is constantly producing a time-stamped video on the surveillance system, showing both the spectrum on a graph and the rf-browser feed of pulses and amplitudes. My theory was, I could check it by rolling the video back every time I see it hit 34419, and see if by chance it caught what was needed. Here is one such video:

I am not clear why the TinySA shows such a high peak, but only says 60.2 dBm. It is not my specialty, but it looks to me like it is maybe it. I don’ t know how these meters work, or maybe if there is some artifact thing I need to rule out. But I have seen a higher dBm reading on the TinySA for that big spike, like 80 dBm, but the EMF390 will just register it as 2-3 mw/m2. I am not sure if that might be due to the pulse being irregular, and each meter catching it off-peak amplitude. The big spike reading also varies on the TinySA, sometimes 2.4004Ghz or up to 2.583Ghz. But the spike always looks the same on the TinySA, though the spikes on the EMF390 can look odd. Here is an example of all of that:

I just want to be cautious, as I would assume this thing was engineered to be difficult to detect, and maybe is operating out of the range of the meters, or pulsing so fast we are not even seeing it, and all this is unrelated.

All of those peaks you see floating by on the EMF390, and the readings of 2 and 3 and sometimes 10 and 108 – that all disappeared today when the neighbors next door left for a while. The peaks were almost all gone, with nothing there for long stretches, and the EMF390 showed between 0.003 and 0.061 at the upper limit. I believe that is the baseline of my house.

The TI yesterday whose EMF390 was hitting 34419mw/m2 two years back said that was being done with “S-Band radar at 2.455 GHz,” which is in the area. He also said the perpetrator was using range-r radar, which is supposedly 3ghz.

That 2.4someting Ghz signal pops up all the time, and gets progressively more powerful as time goes on, until it seems to reset and start over. It may begin when I reset the meter, registering at 1mw/m2 on the EMF390, and set a peak reading. Then it will pop four minutes later at 3.something. Another five minutes, and it will show up as 6.something. then 12.5, then 14, and eventually 34419. I will go back through the video and try to tease out the pattern later.

Now, can I get an attenuator or ten, and rig a Yagi, or other directional antenna to this setup, or some other rig, to tell exactly where this is coming from? The Tiny SA is easy to attach an antenna to, I am not sure about the EMF390. If I needed another meter which took an antenna, do we know what one would be effective here? If I could get this type of video, off a directional antenna, using court-recognizable, legally recognizable, off the shelf commercial gear, that would be awesome.

I will try shielding in the interim, but I am thinking if they got through a Faraday cage, it may not be effective. Would putting a sphere of foil around it with a hole in one side be good enough, if the hole was small enough?

I am pleased. I think we are making progress here, and not just with my case. We may be developing an affordable protocol with relatively inexpensive gear, which could be used by other anons without technical expertise, as this becomes more prolific. An EMF390, and TinySA Ultra and a video camera could be less than $500, and what a start to characterize this thing, if this works. Now we just need to get directional. There is a decent chance we alone could strip them of all their tools for assaulting innocent citizens, and even bring this into court, publicize it in shocking fashion, and end it once and for all.

Also –  I saw this:

The maximum input frequency in ultra mode is limited to 12GHz (in the default HARMONIC 3 mode) or 20GHz (in HARMONIC 5 mode) but the maximum level calibrated frequency is 6GHz. The sensitivity reduces with increasing frequencies and is about 10dB lower above 2.5GHz and 25dB lower above 5.3GHz. The input correction table corrects for these reductions in sensitivity till 6GHz. Above 6GHz there is no frequency dependent correction and sensitivity drops quickly.

So I set it to sweep at 0-12ghz in frequncy, and that looks like this, though I have yet to peg the EMF390 meter, which is staying at 130 since I did it, although there is activity around 6Ghz, and even 45+dBm  at 9.25Ghz:

The dBms in the Tiny SA seem unrelated to the mw/m2 measurement of the EMF390. I see a massive spike at 4.4095Ghz which the TinySA says is 57.9dBm, but the EMF390 says there is only 0.130mw/m2.

“I very, very strongly believe that regardless of my thoughts about anyone or anything political, feelings or convictions, that the job of a juror is to understand the facts of a trial and to be the judge of those facts,” the juror said, according to CNN.

Confirmed: Researchers Reveal COVID mRNA Vaccines Contain Component that Suppresses Immune Response and Stimulates Cancer Growth

Credit: Getty Images

A comprehensive review by an international consortium of scientists has raised serious concerns about the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines’ safety profile.

Review articles are summaries of current research on a particular topic. They are also sometimes called literature reviews or secondary sources.

The review, “N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ): Friend or foe of cancer?” published on Science Direct, delves into the potential implications of a vaccine ingredient—N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ)—that may play a role in immune suppression and cancer proliferation.

m1Ψ was incorporated into Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine to enhance its efficacy.

This component was introduced in the mRNA vaccine as a means to produce a significant amount of modified SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA through in vitro transcription (IVT). This modification was crucial in the rapid development and deployment of the vaccine during the height of the pandemic.

However, the review article calls into question the long-term impacts of this modification, especially concerning the vaccine’s interaction with the body’s immune response and potential carcinogenic effects.

According to the review’s abstract, evidence suggests that while mRNA vaccines may have been “effective” in reducing severe disease outcomes, they might not provide sterilizing immunity, leaving individuals susceptible to recurring infections.

More critically, the review highlights that the inclusion of m1Ψ in mRNA vaccines appears to inhibit key immunological pathways, impairing the body’s early interferon signaling.

Interferon is a natural substance that helps the body’s immune system fight infection and other diseases, such as cancer.

This immunosuppression, intended to ensure efficient synthesis of the spike protein and minimize immune activation, may inadvertently foster an environment conducive to cancer development and metastasis.

In contrast, mRNA vaccines without this modification have shown the opposite effect.

“Based on this compelling evidence, we suggest that future clinical trials for cancers or infectious diseases should not use mRNA vaccines with a 100 % m1Ψ modification, but rather ones with the lower percentage of m1Ψ modification to avoid immune suppression,” the researchers said.

BREAKING: New published study by an international team of researchers confirms what some medical experts have been suspecting for 18 months:
The COVID mRNA shots containing N1-methyl-pseudouridine SUPPRESS the immune system and STIMULATE cancer growth! https://t.co/CwKD14ZQc9 pic.twitter.com/W530bWiVcK

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a recent report published by the American Cancer Society predicted that new cancer cases are expected to reach a new high in 2024. Over 2 million new cases of cancer are expected.

Cancer incidence has been rising for six of the most common cancers: breast, prostate, endometrial, pancreatic, kidney, and melanoma.

In 2022, Ohio attorney Thomas Renz presented DOD medical billing data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) that exposed the disturbing truth about what is happening to the health of our service members since the rollout of the jab.

According to Renz, there has been an astronomical increase in several serious illnesses and disorder diagnoses in the US military since the rushed rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine – most concerning of which – cancer, which has seen a 3x increase.

“We have substantial data showing that we saw, for example, miscarriages increasing by 300% over the five-year average, almost. We saw almost 300% increase in cancer over the five-year average,” he said during the panel discussion in Washington, DC that was hosted by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI).

The Wall Street Journal reports that doctors are baffled by the sudden rise in cancer among young people.

The Journal writes:

“Cancer is hitting more young people in the U.S. and around the globe, baffling doctors. Diagnosis rates in the U.S. rose in 2019 to 107.8 cases per 100,000 people under 50, up 12.8% from 95.6 in 2000, federal data show. A study in BMJ Oncology last year reported a sharp global rise in cancers in people under 50, with the highest rates in North America, Australia and Western Europe.”

The word “vaccine” appears nowhere in the article. It mindlessly goes on to say that doctors are “racing to figure out what is making them sick, and how to identify young people who are at high risk. They suspect that changes in the way we live—less physical activity, more ultra-processed foods, new toxins—have raised the risk for younger generations.”

Maybe doctors should start focusing on the obvious.

Dr. Angus Dalgleish, a renowned oncologist practicing in the UK, recently wrote an open letter to the editor-in-chief of the medical journal The BMJ, urging the journal to “make valid informed consent for COVID vaccination a priority topic” because cancers and other diseases are rapidly progressing among “boosted” people.

“The reports of innate immune suppression after mRNA for several weeks would fit, as all these patients to date have melanoma or B cell based cancers, which are very susceptible to immune control – and that is before the reports of suppressor gene suppression by mRNA in laboratory experiments,” Dr. Dalgleish wrote.

The Gateway Pundit also reported the case of Dr. Michael Goldman, a Belgian pro-COVID vaccine doctor and a professor at the Free University of Brussels, Belgium, specializing in internal medicine and immunology, where he suggested that the mRNA vaccine might worsen lymphoma cancer.

On September 22, 2021, Goldman was eager to receive the mRNA vaccine booster dose. As he was about to undergo chemotherapy that would leave him immunocompromised, he was concerned about not being protected enough from Covid-19.

Within a few days of being boosted, Goldman’s cancer symptoms — including night sweats, tiredness, and enlarged lymph nodes — worsened.

“Such cancer progression within three weeks is uncanny given what we know about the natural course of lymphoma, and Goldman needed steroids as soon as possible. Goldman began to suspect that the booster shot had somehow worsened his lymphoma, making his chance of survival for more than five years at only 30%,” Newsbreak reported.

The news outlet added, “Before getting boosted, the lymphoma was only limited to Goldman’s left armpit and neck. Coincidentally, Goldman received his first and second mRNA vaccine dose on the left arm. But Goldman received the booster on the right arm, and the lymphoma began appearing therein.”

Newsbreak author Shin Jie Yong, an MSC Biology student reported what he learned from a professor who told him about seven patients with stage IV tumors that were well-controlled for almost five years but suddenly progressed after receiving the Covid-19 vaccination.

Pro-vaccine advocate Michael Goldman, then 66 years old, was challenged whether or not to report the life-threatening adverse event he had after receiving a vaccine, per Shin. In the end, Goldman and his colleagues decided to publish their findings.

The case report suggested that vaccination with the Pfizer mRNA vaccine might induce rapid progression of Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), a rare and highly aggressive cancer that affects the lymphatic system. It’s a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that occurs when T-cells, or white blood cells that fight infection, become cancerous and abnormal.

“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first observation suggesting that administration of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine might induce AITL progression. Several arguments support this possibility. First, the dramatic speed and magnitude of the progression manifested on two 18F-FDG PET-CT performed 22 days apart. Such a rapid evolution would be highly unexpected in the natural course in the disease. Since mRNA vaccination is known to induce enlargement and hypermetabolic activity of draining lymph nodes, it is reasonable to postulate that it was the trigger of the changes observed,” said the experts.

Alan Dershowitz: Judge Merchan’s Gag Order and Refusal to Allow Trump to Leave the Courtroom Is Clearly Unconstitutional – Should be Immediately Challenged – Video

Sean Hannity with Alan Dershowitz and Gregg Garrett discuss the latest NYC lawfare case against President Trump.

 

Harvard Law School Professor and Constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz joined Sean Hannity on Tuesday along with Gregg Jarrett to discuss the current Alvin Bragg lawfare case in New York City against President Donald Trump.

Jury selection continued on Tuesday morning for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s lawfare case against Trump related to ‘hush payments’ made to porn star Stormy Daniels. Last April Trump was hit with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy. The charges are unprecedented and illogical.

Alvin Bragg still hasn’t named the underlying felony after he twisted the law and somehow upgraded the misdemeanor charges that were past the statute of limitations – to felonies.

The fix is in. The judge overseeing the case is a far-left operative whose daughter has made a lucrative career helping Democrats ‘get Trump’ and is currently profiting from the case.

After refusing to recuse himself, Judge Juan Merchan on Monday threatened to put President Trump in jail if he doesn’t show up for trial.

On Monday, the Marxist tyrannical judge told President Trump that he could be thrown in prison if he did not show up each day in court. This is a clear constitutional violation.

Judge Merchan even warned President Trump about attending his son’s high school graduation. This is typical behavior from soulless Marxists as we are quickly learning in America today.

On Tuesday Alan Dershowtiz called on Trump’s attorneys to IMMEDIATELY file a motion and challenge Judge Merchan’s clearly unconstitutional court orders gagging President Trump and refusing to allow him to campaign or attend his son’s graduation.

How do these horrible, lawless leftists sleep at night?

Sean Hannity:  Professor, eight years later, a misdemeanor somehow evolves into a felony, and there are allegations that a judge is quite compromised in this case. I’m sure you have a lot to say.

Professor Dershowitz:  Well, look, I’m looking for a fair election. I’m an American voter who hasn’t decided at this point who to vote for and who to vote against. I just want a fair election. … And this case is depriving the American public. I’m speaking for the American public, not for the candidates. Depriving the American public of the right to have a fair election.

President Trump should be in Pennsylvania today. There is a statute that gives him the right to leave the court any day. But the statute says, In the absence of an objection by the people. In other words, the prosecution has a veto over the judge’s decision whether to allow him to leave the courtroom on any given day. That is unconstitutional, and this case ought to be challenged. There ought to be a motion made by Trump’s lawyers immediately under Section 340.50, in which the judge has the power to allow him to leave the courtroom and campaign, but only if the prosecution agrees to it, which is clearly unconstitutional.

The gag order is unconstitutional. You cannot prevent a defendant from attacking the witnesses, from attacking the judge’s daughter, if the judge’s daughter could be a basis for disqualification.

I agree with Greg. The American public is sick and tired of seeing the legal system weaponized. Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, whether you’re a Trump supporter or a Biden supporter, you should be equally appalled. We have the right to decide who to vote for without the thumb, or in this case, the elbow of the criminal justice system led by Democrats, in this case, the district attorney who campaigned on a promise to get Trump, essentially. We have a right not to have that election interference. Do you believe the judge- This case is paradigmatic election interference.

Ingrassia: Mike Johnson Must Exhibit Stronger Leadership Over The House As President Trump Endures Political Persecution

This week, President Trump faces a political prosecution in New York State, forcing him into the courtroom and off the campaign trail.  Every single day President Trump, who now leads in most state polls as the frontrunner for the 2024 general election, is hamstrung from campaigning is another day Biden and his regime apparatchiks get an unfair advantage.  The strategy of what President Trump’s enemies are doing is readily on display: Biden has deliberately rigged the playing field to give his team, which languishes in countless self-inflicted crises, every opportunity it could get to make up lost ground.

The Biden Regime, of course, already has allies in the administrative (or deep) state, the mainstream media, Big Tech, the judicial system, and hundreds of lawmakers working on both sides of the aisle that carry out the marching orders of the Uniparty with abandon. Thus, to achieve yet another advantage, in abusing the levers of power to attack his foremost political opponent, would seem almost wantonly gratuitous.

And yet, Biden and his henchmen get away with such brazen abuses of power time and again.  In large part, this is because they have internalized a timeless lesson of politics: when you have power, use it to benefit friends and punish enemies.  This, Biden and the Uniparty that backs him does with impunity.

Many Republicans remain controlled opposition.  Many more are simply kowtowed into staying silent to carry out the policies of the regnant political class in Washington DC – open borders, corrupted elections, millions of dollars of aid wasted on Ukraine, Israel, and China – all of which harm hundreds of millions of Americans.

Indeed, many Americans have died, literally, as a result of the Biden Regime’s suicidal policies.  The border policy, being perhaps the most destructive, has unleashed upwards of 7.2 million illegals upon the homeland, a catastrophe that will permanently rupture the cultural and economic fabric of this country, save mass deportations of a historic scale, to rectify the crisis.  Many Americans have been killed by illegal aliens – either the victims of homicide from dangerous gangs like MS-13, or casualties of a drunk driver – who may or may not have a license depending on how sadistic the Governor of the state in which the DUI-caused homicide occurred is. (The latter issue memorably achieved national prominence in President Trump’s first term when he personally highlighted the tragic stories of “Angel Moms” at rallies and other public events, an advocacy group composed of mothers and relatives of Americans dedicated to raising awareness of the now unmanageable illegal alien crisis.)

Countless other Americans have suffered from the devastating indirect effects of an open border.  Upwards of a quarter million Americans have died from Fentanyl overdoses since 2018.  Fentanyl is a highly lethal Schedule II controlled substance that is widely accessible on the black market.  Fentanyl dealers obtain the lethal drug from countries like Mexico and China, two of the most prominent beneficiaries of our reckless, open border policies — and two of our greatest adversaries.

And yet, as the United States is being driven to the ground by open borders policies that shake every aspect of our society – culturally, economically, linguistically – Republican lawmakers largely remain indifferent to or downright afraid of challenging the status quo.

Perhaps no one better embodies this pitiful state of affairs than current House Speaker Mike Johnson, who was disgraced former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s replacement.  McCarthy, who served as Speaker for just eight months, had arguably the most turbulent and ineffective Speakership in all of American history.  His Speakership was contested from the moment he announced his candidacy for the office, having nearly gone down in defeat before it began — but for a highly contested, multi-day vote last January that culminated in an eleventh hour switch on the part of some holdouts, landing the Californian the vaunted position on the fifteenth ballot.  That drawn out vote nevertheless set the tone for the next eight months, a period marred by unkept promises and myriad disappointments, as McCarthy repeatedly failed to make good on several key promises – such as the disclosure of exonerating J6 footage – that resulted in the motion to vacate his chair, initiated by Congressman Gaetz, putting the nail in the coffin to his political career.

Johnson, who stepped into McCarthy’s shoes as the next House Speaker, had a perfect model of what not to do in that office.  One was to leave in play the omnibus spending bills that funded agencies like the FBI and IRS, which have now been weaponized against political dissidents of the Biden Regime — and stop giving more aid to faraway places like the Ukraine and Middle East, which, in peacetime, offer few if any geopolitical benefits at all to the United States.

In deranged, war-spiraling times like ours — defined by a weaponized DOJ, crumbling infrastructure, and wide-open borders – it gives every reason on earth to shift our priorities inward, refocusing attention on cleaning up our own house before searching abroad for monsters to destroy. Thus, continuation of those reckless policies can only be chalked up to a ruling class-wide suicide pact for the country. Short of that explanation, pursuing those same failed policies is simply inexplicable.

And yet, the current Speaker still fails to grasp the magnitude of these calamities.  On his recent visit to Mar-a-Lago, he only begrudgingly spoke of systemic voter fraud – all byproducts of the Biden Regime – when directly confronted with the issue by none other than President Trump himself, who unsurprisingly minced no words in discussing the lingering problem.

Ditto also the FISA court issue – and the reauthorization and expansion of our spying laws in general. Of course, these illegitimate “courts” should not be given another penny, given the appalling rights violations they have committed, over decades, against the American public. The fact that FISA court-spending, rather than, say, securing the border or holding those rogue district attorneys presently waging lawfare against President Trump and his supporters accountable, was an important agenda item for Johnson, again, exemplifies a rank failure of leadership of the highest possible order.

Johnson has a major crisis on his hands – and the more strident members of his caucus, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie, detect his weakness.  That is why they recently proposed a second motion to vacate the Speaker’s Chair – in large part owing to Johnson’s own failures to display strength, rather than lead from behind, a plague that affected every single one of his recent Republican predecessors.  One would think, given just how bad the examples of his predecessors were, that Johnson would have every incentive to take a dramatic course correction – for he has at his immediate disposal the playbook of exactly what not to do.

And yet, alas, Johnson appears afflicted by that same curse – incredulously reverting to the tired policies that made McCarthy, and before him, Paul Ryan and John Boehner, so woefully unpopular — including continuation of the omnibus bills to avoid a government shutdown, which many conservatives would more than welcome – particularly among the grassroots and MAGA base of the party.

Of all the challenges Johnson currently faces, however, perhaps none is more pressing — and sure to determine Johnson’s political fate — than his ability to retain his quickly dwindling House majority through the November presidential election.  If Johnson somehow loses his majority, a problem that becomes more urgent by the day with the slew of Republicans who have recently announced early retirements, like Mike Gallagher, he will be toast.

The Gallagher example is particularly illustrative: Gallagher announced that he will be stepping down later this month, adding to a mounting list of House departures.  This vacancy will now last through November’s election, because Gallagher decided to hold off retirement until after Wisconsin Election Law’s special election deadline.  The deadline set under Wisconsin law “requires a special election to fill a vacancy if it occurs before the first Tuesday in April of an election year.”  Johnson had the ability, as House Speaker, to exert political pressure on Gallagher to get him to step down early, before the deadline, allowing for a special election that could have potentially stopped the bloodletting – allowing a Republican to replace Gallagher, padding their razor thin majority from getting more slim.  Instead, he fumbled and remained silent – or simply failed to come up with a counter-strategy to force Gallagher’s early leave, for reasons unbeknownst to the public.  Johnson had a prime opportunity to expose Gallagher in his tracks — and yet he dropped the ball. Now the clock has run out, and Johnson will have to deal with an even slimmer House majority as a result of his inaction.

Even if, as conventional wisdom in DC would hold, that Johnson or those groups who exert pressure on him are being artificially handcuffed by deterrents, including potentially blackmail, that still is no excuse for inaction.  If it is scandal Johnson fears, at this point most of the public has been desensitized to it. The country is on life support.  The greatest scandal that Congressional Republicans could thus commit at this late hour is not doing enough to salvage their majority, back President Trump, and do everything they can to make his pathway back to the Oval Office all the more easy in November.

Despite the fecklessness he has thus far exhibited, Speaker Johnson, for better or worse, remains in a powerful office – third in line to the presidency.  He is the most powerful elected Republican officeholder in the country.  He has political capital – and a bully pulpit to boot – to exert strong pressures on his party to do more on behalf of the broader MAGA movement.

An issue that really should be front and center for him, which Johnson could easily advocate for, is subpoenaing Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Fani Willis, and other rogue prosecutors, district attorneys, and attorneys general throughout the country, who have weaponized the Department of Justice to try to sabotage the 2024 race and imperil the American people in the process.  Even easier: encourage the Republicans that have still not endorsed President Trump to do so, or face sanctions.

The Constitution of this country hangs by a thread; our rights and liberties are being viciously attacked by a Regime and its various apparatchiks that seek to put asunder what remnants of the Founding Fathers’ original handiwork still exists, for all time.

The stakes are in fact that high.  Yet, Johnson continues to waffle and waver.  Disclosure of the remaining J6 tapes should not even be a point of discussion – it should have been done already without a second thought.

Nor should the gratuitous spending on Eastern European and Middle Eastern conflicts, all products of the Military Industrial Complex, operating at the behest of the Biden Regime, and paid for by the American taxpayer.  Johnson and his colleagues in leadership positions in the House, particularly those on the House Judiciary Committee, must realize that governing involves both hard and soft powers – official powers are offset, more today than ever, by unofficial ones, including shaping narratives and mobilizing public opinions through various media.

That Johnson does not go on Fox News – or any media outlet – day in and day out, encouraging his colleagues to join him in filing ethics complaints, drafting legal motions in pursuit of a counter-lawfare strategy, and, indeed, waging all-out lawfare themselves on the Biden Regime’s weaponized Department of (in)Justice is an affront to every law-abiding American so despondent over the destruction of the rule of law happening in real time.

All it requires is some collective action on part of Congressional leadership. Johnson, being House Speaker, is in prime position to take the lead.

As I have said from the beginning, so much of the Left’s egregious, unprecedented, and shameless abuse of our justice system to persecute their political opponents is the result of Republican incompetence.  No cosmic law exists in the universe that dictates Republicans not take action, or at the bare minimum, at least speak publicly about what needs to be done in order to mitigate the excesses of a rogue and tyrannical government that has persecuted, so far with impunity, everyone from the leading candidate to be the next president, all the way down to Bible-reading grandmas who just so happened to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time, on January 6th, 2021.

The corruption of the Biden Regime must be put to an end. There is no second option.  Time is of the essence.  President Trump has his hands tied with groundless lawsuit after lawsuit.  Johnson, as the most powerful Republican officeholder in the United States, has a prerogative — constitutionally and morally — to take dramatic actions to keep his slim House majority, mitigate the weaponized justice system’s assaults, and pave the way for President Trump’s reelection come November.

That should be his chief priority, and he should work around the clock from now until at least November to do everything possible to make that happen.

So far, the man some pundits used to jokingly refer to as “MAGA Mike” has not displayed a capacity to do what is necessary. If that is truly the case, the second motion should indeed be exercised. And Johnson, like his three Republican predecessors, must be ousted for someone more worthy of the office, willing to do the critical job to offset the diabolical programs of Biden, before it really is too late.

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Subsidizing the Fentanyl Crisis

The investigation by the Select Committee on The CCP’s Role in the Fentanyl Crisis reveals that the CCP subsidizes PRC companies producing fentanyl precursor chemicals for export, thus knowingly exacerbating the US drug crisis.

In his State of the Union Address on March 7, 2024, President Biden acknowledged Fentanyl as one of the most significant threats confronting the United States.  The president’s assertion aligns with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Annual Threat Assessment for 2024, which identifies fentanyl as the second-largest threat, following terrorism. The report also states that DHS expects “illegal drugs produced in Mexico and sold in the United States will continue to kill more Americans than any other threat.”

According to a DHS Fact Sheet regarding the State of the Union Address, the fentanyl crisis “originates with China-based entities that manufacture and distribute the chemicals used to produce the fentanyl fueling American overdose deaths.” The CCP manufactures 98% of the global supply of precursor chemicals used to produce fentanyl. The select committee not only uncovered CCP subsidies for fentanyl but also for numerous other synthetic and illicit drugs.

The DHS Fact Sheet provides additional details, stating that “DHS participated in the development of a new Counternarcotics Working Group with China to disrupt the manufacture and flow of illicit synthetic drugs.” Given the emerging evidence of CCP’s direct involvement in the fentanyl crisis, this initiative appears ironic and likely ineffective in halting its spread.

In 2023, the US House of Representatives passed the bipartisan Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act, which amends the Fentanyl Sanctions Act. The latter calls for sanctions against Chinese entities as “foreign opioid traffickers” if they produce, sell, finance, or transport synthetic opioids or precursors.” It is evident that numerous government agencies, along with Congress and the White House, recognize fentanyl as one of the most pressing issues facing the US, responsible for the most American fatalities. They all acknowledge China as the source. Despite this consensus, the president continues to pursue efforts to ‘work with’ Beijing rather than directly holding the CCP accountable.

US law enforcement entities have reported informing their Chinese government contacts about the companies manufacturing and exporting fentanyl, yet the CCP has not taken any action. The Bill specifies that Chinese entities could face sanctions if they “fail to take credible steps to prevent opioid trafficking, including through cooperation with U.S. counternarcotics efforts and know-your-customer procedures.” It appears that the CCP is now subject to sanctions, given its lack of cooperation with US law enforcement and failure to halt the fentanyl flow.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee issued a warning in 2017-2018 through a report titled ‘TACKLING FENTANYL: THE CHINA CONNECTION,’ identifying China as the source of the fentanyl crisis. However, to date, the White House has not held the CCP accountable.

The CCP denies any knowledge of or culpability in the problem. Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for the PRC embassy in Washington D.C., stated in an email, “It is very clear that there is no fentanyl problem in China, and the fentanyl crisis in the United States is not caused by the Chinese side, and blindly blaming China cannot solve the U.S. own problem.” These are not the words of a government willing to cooperate. It is astounding that this statement came from an official CCP source, just weeks after the President’s State of the Union Address where he claimed his administration was working closely with the CCP on this issue.

The PRC Embassy’s statement underscores the folly of the Biden administration’s continued belief that they can work with the CCP to stop fentanyl and to fix a number of other global issues caused by the CCP, everything from China trade cheating to threats against Taiwan and the Philippines, to Beijing’s support of Russia in Ukraine, and ongoing support for Iran and the legitimization of Hamas. Given the CCP’s active involvement in these activities, it’s evident that Xi Jinping is aware of and likely orchestrating them, suggesting they won’t simply stop.

The CCP: An Enemy, Not a Competitor or Partner

The US Intelligence Community (IC), in its Annual Threat Assessment, and the Department of Defense (DoD) in its China Military Power report, both identify China as the primary threat to the US. Both reports from the IC and DoD elaborate on how the CCP’s strategy involves a whole-of-government approach known as Military Civil Fusion (MCF), which utilizes for-profit private entities across various industries and fields to further the state’s policy objectives. Evidently, this strategy extends to the chemical industry, which is being exploited to harm Americans and undermine American society through the distribution of deadly and illicit drugs.

Given that US intelligence and defense authorities are unequivocal about the CCP’s intent to supplant the United States, it is illogical to believe that the two countries can cooperate or that the CCP will take steps to improve America’s position.

The manufacture and distribution of chemicals in China is regarded as a sensitive domain, tightly regulated by the CCP, requiring permits and government approval for manufacturing or exporting. This implies that the CCP was aware of the production and export of fentanyl precursor chemicals. Now that the Select Committee has uncovered not only the CCP’s awareness but also its subsidization of the manufacture and export of fentanyl precursors, it becomes evident that the CCP is endorsing this activity and actively contributing to the deaths of Americans. With two hundred Americans dying of fentanyl overdoses every day, the CCP is killing as many Americans as the 9/11 terrorists, every two weeks.

Up to this point, the Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act of 2023 has only cleared the House and has not been signed into law. Should it become law, it appears that the entire CCP would be deemed in violation. Regrettably, although the media, the public, and some congressional representatives express outrage over the recent revelations, it seems improbable that the Biden administration will undertake meaningful action against the CCP.

EXCLUSIVE: Whistleblower Who Exposed A Blatant Oversight in the VA’s Policy for Veterans With Vaccine-Related Injury Goes Public

Image: Wikimedia Commons (Moderna Covid-19 vaccine)

Through the lens of tens of thousands of service members and veterans affected by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s 2021 COVID-19 military shot mandate, an important question arises: Did the Department of Defense, specifically the Secretary of Defense, mandate a “toxic exposure risk activity” (TERA)?

It’s a question being asked increasingly more often by people like whistleblower Trey Fleming and Dr. Crisanna Shackelford. Previously speaking under a pseudonym, the whistleblower’s name is Sonny Fleeman III, a combat veteran and Rating Veteran Services Representative for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Fleeman revealed himself on a video podcast with Feds for Freedom.

Like Fleeman, Dr. Crisanna “Shack” Shackelford is a veteran. She is also founder and CEO of realreactions.org. They are working to expose that the COVID-19 shots contain toxins that can be claimed as a toxic exposure risk under the 2022 Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act.

Fleeman told The Gateway Pundit that exposure to burn pits, toxins in improvised explosive devices (IED), chlorine bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan, burning oil wells, and Agent Orange used during the Vietnam war topped the list of widely recognized cases of toxic substances within the PACT Act.

But what does the PACT Act say about those who have clearly been injured by the so-called COVID-19 vaccine, he and Dr. Shackleford questioned, also pointing out what has recorded by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concerning the Moderna injection. “Currently, mRNA is considered a gene therapy product by the FDA,” the report states. And according to Dr. Robert Malone, the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein used within COVID-19 “vaccines” is a toxin.

More evidence of Spike as a toxin.https://t.co/ytUpbNRX3k

— Robert W Malone, MD (@RWMaloneMD) September 1, 2021

Interestingly, within the toxic Exposure Risk Activity (TERA) provisions for veterans to obtain a screening for their toxic exposures, the policy states, “Vaccines and medications in general are not considered participation in a TERA [under the PACT Act] because there is no scientific or medical evidence that supports the conclusion that vaccines and medications administered to Service Members have resulted in long-term adverse health effects.”

Dr. Shackelford said, “this is shocking given how much is known about the toxicity of the ‘gene therapy’ injection and known adverse health effects.” For her, “the fact that the VA would disenfranchise our service members who were mandated to take this injection raises critical questions.”

The policy being enforced by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is easily debunked, according to Dr. Shackelford. Her straightforward, but oft-ignored, explanation should “raise the alarm bell” for those who continue to deny countless stories of the gene therapy’s toxic adverse side effects. According to her, it’s undeniable: “The spike protein that the body is forced to make from the injection—in and of itself—is toxic.”

Consider the plight of Army Corporal Karolina Stancik who has suffered more than one heart attack, a mini-stroke, and several neurological maladies after being forced roll up her sleeve and get the shot. Yet, in a case like hers, the VA would maintain that “…vaccines and medications, in general, are not considered participation in toxic exposure risk activity because there are no long-term adverse health effects supported by science.”

“This very issue of toxic exposure and the known mechanisms of injury such as Karolina’s must be acknowledged, and those responsible must ensure that disability compensation for this toxic exposure occurs,” she said.

In December 2023, Fleeman explained that “veterans with vaccine injuries are excluded from receiving a VA examination and medical nexus opinion under the PACT Act—and more specifically under the TERA provisions.” And according to Dr. Shackelford, the exclusion is “fraudulent” and the “willful ignorance” needs to be exposed.

From the start, it was illegal for the Pentagon’s policy to say that the Comirnaty and EUA Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines were interchangeable. “This cannot be refuted, “Dr. Shackelford said, adding that “it was undeniably an illegal mandate for this reason and more.” With that, the question remains: did the Department of Defense, specifically the Secretary of Defense, mandate a TERA?

According to Dr. Shackelford, “If the VA was forced to concede that the so-called vaccine, or gene therapy per the Moderna SEC filing, is toxic, all bets would be off for the Department of Defense.” This must be addressed by Congress at some point, she argued, adding that “the mandate for COVID-19 injections represented a forced toxic exposure with catastrophic implications for our national security and defense readiness.”

Because of concern about reprisals, Fleeman emphasized that his views don’t reflect those of the VA.

After Chicago Approves $70M More for Illegals, Alderman Says “We are Not Taking Care of Our Own’

Chicago City Council

Like communities around the country, Chicago is hemorrhaging cash to deal with the devastating consequences of Joe Biden’s border disaster.

On Monday, the Budget and Government Operations Committee of the Chicago City Council voted 20-8 to send Mayor Brandon Johnson’s request for $70 million in additional City funding to care for illegals to the full Council.

CBS News reports that the request is part of a spending plan announced by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle in February. The State of Illinois and Cook County pledged a combined $250 million to help fund the crisis, which is anticipated to reach at least $321 million for shelter and services this calendar year.

During the heated debate, Ald. Chris Taliaferro of the 29th Ward said, “We are not taking care of our own. We have all but forgotten the residents on the West Side and South Side.”

Last Fall, Taliafarro spoke out against another example of the City putting illegals ahead of citizens when plans were announced to convert a youth football field into a shelter for illegals in his district.

9th Ward Ald. Anthony Beale added, “We don’t have money for after-school programs. We don’t have money to help our kids get off the street. Yet, we would just blow money left and right. That’s a fundamental problem.”

“And when we talk about this money, and as important as our children are to us, a place like Ogden Park, the field house is to the Inglewood community, where shootings take place, where every economic indicator, health indicator,  everything, everybody should be jumping to that to protect our children and give us the things we need,” said 17th Ward Ald. David Moore.

ABC News reports:

The money is needed as the Democratic National Convention approaches in August, according to sources familiar with the plan.

Most of the money would come from a reserve fund set up for migrants, and the rest from rainy day funds.

The city has spent nearly $300 million to help feed, shelter and care for migrants since August 2022, according to the mayor’s office.

Biden’s Student Debt Cancellation Has Taxpayers Paying Over $550 Billion, Benefits Wealthier Families

The price tag of President Joe Biden’s student loan amnesty just keeps growing — and it’s not the neediest who are getting the money, either.

According to the New York Post, a new study by the University of Pennsylvania estimates that a new round of student loan cancellation programs raises the amount that taxpayers are stuck holding to $559 billion total, including $84 billion under new provisions announced last week.

The kicker? The newest provisions under the Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, plan will benefit those in higher tax brackets the most.

The income-driven plan was introduced last summer, but new loan cancellations for 277,000 borrowers were announced last week.

“Today’s announcement shows — once again — that the Biden-Harris Administration is not letting up its efforts to give hardworking Americans some breathing room,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement, the Post reported.

“As long as there are people with overwhelming student loan debt competing with basic needs such as food and healthcare, we will remain relentless in our pursuit to bring relief to millions across the country.”

Cardona was doing the usual media rounds promoting how the plan was going to help the most vulnerable student loan recipients:

.@SecCardona breaks down who qualifies for President Biden’s new student debt relief plan.#GMA3 pic.twitter.com/BB3PVT76K4

— GMA3: What You Need To Know (@ABCGMA3) April 9, 2024

However, the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton Budget Model found that the new round of cancellations wasn’t exactly going to help those who were struggling to put food on the table — unless their diet consisted of three square meals of foie gras and Wagyu steak.

“President Biden recently announced five main provisions to provide student loan debt relief. Some of provisions are already mostly covered by President Biden’s SAVE plan introduced in 2023. Some provisions, however, are more incremental to the SAVE plan, including one provision — the forgiveness of longer-term debt — that expands eligibility to higher-income households,” read a Thursday media release of the study’s key takeaways.

“We estimate that the New Plans will cost $84 billion in addition to the $475 billion that we estimated for President Biden’s SAVE plan, for a total cost of about $559 billion across both plans.

“While the New Plans, like the SAVE plan, contain provisions to relieve debt based on individual or household income, the New Plans will also relieve some longer-term student debt for about 750,000 households making over $312,000 in average household income,” it continued.

“The main reason for this high average household income is that the SAVE plan already provides long-term debt relief to households with lower incomes.”

Of the five major components of the new plans announced on April 8, two in particular stick out as driving the relief up the income ladder.

First is the threshold for waiving accrued and capitalized interest on the loans: “Up to $20,000 in accrued and capitalized interest will be waived for borrowers with current balances above the initial balance upon entering repayment, regardless of borrower’s income,” the Wharton media release read.

“Single borrowers making less than $120,000 or couples making less than $240,000 a year will qualify for a total waiver of all current balances above the initial balance if they are enrolled in any IDR plan. Automatic relief will be applied, and so no application is needed.”

Second is the elimination of undergraduate student debt for those who have been paying it for over 20 years or gradate debt for 25 years.

“If student loan repayments started on or before July 1, 2005, all debt will be eliminated for borrowers with undergraduate loans only. (For borrowers with any graduate debt, this date is pushed back to July 1, 2000). No enrollment in IDR plans will be needed to receive the relief, but currently it’s unclear if any other application will be required from the borrowers,” the news release said.

The total cost of all the five measures is a touch over $84 billion, added to the estimated $475 billion Biden’s unilateral student loan relief has already put taxpayers on the hook for.

However, in this case, Biden is providing relief to households who are less than $100,000 away from that magical $400,000 number that he says makes you one of the wealthy that he plans to tax to pay for his spending sprees — you know, those who need to start paying their “fair share.”

To say this is ridiculous is an understatement — until, of course, you realize that 2024 is an election year and Biden’s poll numbers haven’t looked hot since the beginning of the race, despite the fact that Democrat DAs and the Department of Justice have been on a quest to tie up the presumptive Republican nominee in court until November.

As House Budget Committee chairman Rep. Jodey Arrington, a Texas Republican, noted, this wasn’t just unconstitutional, it was a “quest to buy votes.”

“In reality, his plan will shift the responsibility of paying for loans owed by high-income earners who freely incurred them onto the backs of all taxpayers, many of whom do not even have a college degree,” Arrington said via a statement.

“[Biden’s] administration is dead set on circumventing the Supreme Court, defying Congress, and saddling our country with more debt.”

And unlike he says, it’s not taking from the rich to give to the poor. It’s taking from those who didn’t take college loans or paid them off and giving relief to wealthy people who did and haven’t.

Is this what student debt relief should look like? It is when one is down badly in the polls and is grasping at straws to get suburban voters in swing states. That’s hardly good policy — but as cynical strategizing, it’s not half bad.

Biden Tells Dubious Story About His “Uncle Bosey” Being “Shot Down in an Area Where There Were a Lot of Cannibals” (VIDEO)

Joe Biden on Wednesday stopped to chat with reporters on the tarmac as he was departing Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Biden told a dubious story about how his grandfather (or uncle?) Ambrose Finnegan (Jr.?) was shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals.

“Ambrose Finnegan, we called him Uncle Bosey – he was shot down, he was Army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew a single-engine plane, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea and he volunteered when someone couldn’t make it and he got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals…” Biden said.

Biden’s maternal grandfather Ambrose Finnegan died in 1957. His uncle Ambrose Finnegan Jr. died after a plane he was in went down due to engine failure.

Old Joe added that he went to New Guinea.

Joe Biden: They called him Uncle Bozey, he was shot down. He was an army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew a single-engine plane, reconnaissance flight over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn’t make it. He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at the time. They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane and the life.

Imagine the headlines if Trump told a story like this.

Joe Biden also smeared Trump with the debunked “suckers and losers” hoax for the second time in less than a day.

Biden made up most of the war story.

  • Lt. Ambrose Finnegan was a ground crew member and ordinance officer, not a reconnaissance pilot.
  • In 1944, Finnegan was the passenger of an A-20 (a twin-engine, not single-engine plane) that ditched, it wasn’t shot down.
  • The flight went down over the Bismarck Sea, not “in an area where there were a lot of cannibals.”

Unsurprisingly, Biden has made up most of this war story.

President Trump never called veterans “suckers and losers,” however, Joe Biden often repeats the lie and the media carries the water for him.

He is not well.

EXCLUSIVE: Paul Ingrassia and Laura Loomer Give Updates on Illegals in NYC and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s Lawfare Against Trump (VIDEO)

Paul Ingrassia and Laura Loomer

The Gateway Pundit contributor Paul Ingrassia and investigative journalist Laura Loomer on Tuesday provided updates on the ongoing election interference lawfare against Donald Trump taking place less than a mile away from illegal aliens protesting at New York City Hall. 

The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday that more than 1,000 illegal aliens from Africa swarmed New York City Hall on Tuesday after they were falsely promised work visas and green cards.

Ingrassia, a New York resident, told us more about the thousands of illegals from Guinea and other African countries “demanding housing, work permits and health care.” Ingrassia continued, “Meanwhile, all the resources are being used to prosecute Donald Trump just two blocks away from here.”

He also shared updates on President Trump’s trial, the conflicts of interest with bad actors trying to take Trump down, and the highly partisan questions for jury members in the ongoing jury selection.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, they’re trying to ruin President Trump not only in his legal and business life but also in his personal life—preventing him from attending his son’s graduation and threatening arrest if he is not present for every day of the witch hunt trial.

Ingrassia noted the disrespect and total disregard from the judge toward a President of the United States and a leading candidate, adding that Judge Merchan “is violating every rule, every custom, every norm, every precedent.”

“This is a kangaroo court. This is a banana republic system of justice that we’re seeing in New York. It’s very shameful, and, you know, as that goes on, you have illegals flooding the streets just blocks away from the courthouse. It’s a true disgrace.”

More:

The disrespect is further seen with the far-left judge’s trampling of Trump’s First Amendment rights with a strict gag order, which was recently expanded to bar Trump from making factual statements about the judge’s far-left family members. This comes after Trump sounded the alarm on the judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign and received tens of MILLIONS of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday, President Trump shared a video of Laura Loomer and Andrew Giuliani making true statements about the trial, the judge, and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and came under fire for a potential violation of his gag order.

Merchan is reportedly considering fining Trump $3,000 for sharing this video of Loomer “verbally attacking Merchan’s wife.” Loomer simply pointed out that “Judge Merchan’s wife literally worked for Letitia James.”

WTH? Biden Tells Bizarre Story About Answering His Motel Room Door While He Was “Standing in a Towel and Shaving Cream” (VIDEO)

Joe Biden on Tuesday evening made his second campaign stop in his *hometown* of Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Biden couldn’t draw decent-sized crowd in his own hometown in a state he supposedly won in 2020.

Literally no one cared that he was in Scranton.

Biden visited his childhood home in Scranton before his second campaign event.

It was a creepy photo op. A few people (staffers?) cheered for Biden as he emerged from his childhood home holding hands with children.

During his second campaign stop, Biden recounted a bizarre story about answering his motel room door while he was standing in a towel and shaving cream.

Biden put the room to sleep with his monotone mumbling.

And we’re expected to believe this guy got 81 million votes.

NBA Player Gets Banned For Life After Violating Gambling Rules

The NBA has banned Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter for life after violating NBA gambling rules.

According to  ESPN, Porter provided inside information to bettors and limited his participation in games due to gambling purposes.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver released a statement saying, “There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition for our fans, our teams, and everyone associated with our sport, which is why Jontay Porter’s blatant violations of our gaming rules are being met with the most severe punishment.”

In an internal investigation, the NBA discovered before a game on March 20th that Porter gave information to a bettor regarding his health status.

After obtaining the inside information, the bettor bet on an online sportsbook that Porter would not reach the stat line set for him in the parlay.

Just a few minutes into the game, Porter checked himself out, claiming he was sick and did not reach the numbers set for him in the parlay.

Porter’s move would have won the bettor $1.1 million, but the bettor’s account was frozen due to the suspicious actions, and an investigation ensued.

Per ESPN:

Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter has been banned from the NBA, the league announced Wednesday.

The NBA said that Porter provided confidential information to bettors, limited his own participation in games for gambling purposes and bet on NBA games.

“There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition for our fans, our teams and everyone associated with our sport, which is why Jontay Porter’s blatant violations of our gaming rules are being met with the most severe punishment,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.

“While legal sports betting creates transparency that helps identify suspicious or abnormal activity, this matter also raises important issues about the sufficiency of the regulatory framework currently in place, including the types of bets offered on our games and players. Working closely with all relevant stakeholders across the industry, we will continue to work diligently to safeguard our league and game,” Silver said.

Village Council in Illinois Votes to Remove Only Republican Library Board Member Because “His Ideas are Unsafe”

Bill Nienburg, former Downers Grove Library Board member/Image: Linkedin

On Tuesday night in Downers Grove, a quaint Chicago suburb, the Village Council 4-3 voted to remove the only Republican, logistics executive Bill Nienburg, from its six-member, appointed village library board.

Nienburg publicly opposed repeated initiatives intended to make the library more “progressive.”

As reported by Dupage Policy Journal, in 2022, Nienburg was the only board member who did not support a “drag queen bingo” event for children at the library featuring a male cross-dressing stripper.

The board’s plan to spend approximately $160,000 on an “anti-racism” and also to replace the Pledge of Allegiance with a “land statement,” which would declare that the town was formed on land “stolen by white Christian men from the Indians,” were also criticized by Nienburg.

In another blow to the radicals, Nienburg refused to put his “pronouns” on the library board’s “about” page.

Democrat Leslie Sadowski voted in favor of a resolution to remove Nienburg.

She’s taught him. And she’ll teach you too. She is the quintessential small-minded, venomous, identitarian shrew who controls wealthy, honky suburbs. pic.twitter.com/leckp7420U

— Dan Proft (@DanProft) April 17, 2024

Dupage Policy Journal reports:

Sadowski told a crowd of more than 100, mostly attending in support of Nienburg, that she felt he should be removed because his ideas are “unsafe.”

“This has nothing to do with political affiliaton, and everything to do with dangerous extremism,” Sadowski said.

She said that she offered Nienburg “coaching” on how to get along with his liberal Democrat library board members, but that he refused.

Although Mr. Nienburg did not attended the meeting which ousted him, he sent a letter to Dupage Policy Journal:

The politically active Downers Grove Public Library administration and library board moved on February 28, 2024 to censure nonconforming library board member Bill Nienburg for sharing nonconfidential information with a Downers Grove taxpayer regarding a window painting policy at the library.

In a 5-0 vote the board moved to censure Mr. Nienburg and entered a request to the Downers Grove Village Council for his removal from the board. These actions all occurred when Mr. Nienburg was out of town and unable to attend this meeting and thereby denying him an opportunity to defend himself.

Bill Nienburg began his tenure with the Downers Grove Public Library Board in November 2022.

In this role as a library board member Mr. Nienburg exercised his fiduciary duty to the Downers Grove taxpayer by asking tough questions to and holding the library administration to account.

Last year he asked why a Native Land Statement is read before each meeting, but no Pledge of Allegiance. Suddenly the Pledge is now recited before each meeting.

During budget review Mr. Nienburg asked specific questions regarding increases to certain budget items, as well as how the budget can be proposed with no exact numbers.

And he questioned why the library staff, on its own accord, modified the native land statement with an anti-Christian update associating Christian Churches with native genocide.

In the broader context, this is the same activist library administration and board majority who (1) spent $86,000.00 on the divisive RGW Consultant equity report which cast Downers Grove as a racist community, (2) pushed a Drag Queen Bingo event targeted at children, and (3) developed and recites a native land statement that serves as a virtue signal with no real substance regarding native injustice.

Mr. Nienburg’s censure was not enough to satisfy the board majority.

During the February 28, 2024 Library Board Meeting, board members made disrespectful and mean-spirited remarks that likely violated board policy and by laws regarding respect and civil tone at board meetings. One board member, Carissa Dougherty openly violated Mr. Nienburg’s privacy by discussing his library card during the meeting and was a likely violation of the Illinois Library Records Confidentiality Act 75 ILCS 70/1.

On March 5, 2024, the Downers Grove Village Council voted 4-3 to investigate the removal of Mr. Nienburg from the Downers Grove Public Library Board. Again, no substantive policy violation was identified beyond alleged good governance. However, speakers during public comment made direct points regarding policy and law violations by the library administration and board members regarding the open discussion of Mr. Nienburg’s library card.

At the March 20, 2024, Downers Grove Public Library Board meeting speaker Noel Manley asserted that board member Carissa Dougherty may have violated the Illinois Library Records Confidentiality Act during her attack on board member Nienburg. Ms. Dougherty, during board comments, asserted she checked this matter with an attorney and that this was not protected information.

Note that in a FOIA dated April 1, 2024 an email dated March 13, 2024 was produced from the firm Klein, Thorpe & Jenkins arguing that “card holder status isn’t exempt information under the Library Confidentiality Act…” To test this assertion, in the same FOIA a request for a list of all active library card holders over the age of 18 was made. And the FOIA officer released a 510-page list of 28,031 names Downers Grove Public Library card holders.

Similar requests for active library card holder lists were made to the Westmont Public Library, the Oak Brook Public Library, the Hinsdale Public Library, and the Indian Prairie Public Library District. All denied this requested citing the same language in the Illinois Library Records Confidentiality Act (see attachments).

To compound the inconsistent application of library policy, at the April 9, 2024 Downers Grove Village Council meeting a former library employee spoke at public comment regarding her employment at the library. Specifically, she presented the council with her experience of sexual and criminal harassment from library patrons and the lack of response from the library administration. In fact, when she addressed this matter with the Downers Grove Police, she was placed on an employee improvement plan for failing to follow library protocol. Note that she cited the library employee handbook’s regarding harassment and sexual harassment. A policy that was not enforced. So feeling humiliated and abandoned in by the library administration, this violated woman resigned.

The consistent element of the Downers Grove Public Library’s administration and board majority is to deny due process to any board member or employee who fails to conform to their will.

In the case of Bill Nienburg and the former library employee, if you step outside your lane, you will be punished with selective and unspecific policy enforcement. However, if you violate the law, you get a pass.

NFL Superstar Aaron Rodgers Claims HIV/AIDS was a Government-Engineered Pandemic in 1980’s (VIDEO)

Screenshot: Look Into It/Rokfin

Aaron Rodgers, celebrated quarterback for the New York Jets, has sparked a storm of controversy following remarks made on the “Look Into It” podcast, where he suggested that the HIV/AIDS pandemic of the 1980s was a government-engineered crisis, with Dr. Anthony Fauci playing a corrupt role.

In the viral video clip, Rodgers questioned the management and motivations behind the government’s response to the HIV/AIDS crisis that claimed over 100,000 lives in the United States within a decade.

He hinted at a possible ulterior motive, suggesting that the pandemic was engineered as part of a larger scheme.

“The blueprint, the game plan was made in the ’80s. Create a pandemic with a virus that’s going wild,” Rodgers claimed.

He went on to criticize the funding allocated to Dr. Fauci, accusing him of benefiting from the research grants without significant advancements in treatment, except for AZT – the first drug approved to treat HIV/AIDS that according

“Fauci was given over $350 million to researchers to come up with drugs, new or repurposed, to handle the AIDS pandemic. All they came up with was AZT,” he added.

Rodgers emphasized his right to question authority and conduct his own research. He drew parallels between the handling of the HIV/AIDS crisis and the recent COVID-19 pandemic, insinuating a pattern of corruption linked to pharmaceutical companies and vaccines.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a prominent figure in American medicine and public health, played a significant role in the response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that in the 1980s, during the height of the AIDS epidemic, Dr. Fauci told Americans that children could catch AIDS from casual contact.

Of course, this caused a huge reaction from Americans towards gays and those suffering from the disease.

WATCH:

Fauci also withheld successful treatments from AIDS patients for over a year as THOUSANDS died. He wanted a vaccine… that never came.

The Gateway Pundit posted these fun facts about Dr. Fauci in April 2020:

  • Dr. Fauci claimed that AIDS might be transmissible by “routine close contact.” (May 5, 1983, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association). (Michael Fumento, The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS, p. 237).
  • Dr. Fauci claimed that ten percent of the HIV/AIDS infected would be heterosexual—more than two and half times the rate – four percent – it actually was.
  • On February 15, 1987, then-conservative columnist George Will said to Dr. Fauci that HIV/AIDS was principally a homosexual affliction and that it was not exploding, and Fauci quickly replied, “That’s not correct. The percentage of individuals who have gotten AIDS by heterosexual transmission is about four percent now. It is projected that that number will be up in 1991 to about 10 percent.”

Dr. Fauci’s NIH was also caught funding experiments on AIDS orphans at a New York City hospital in 2004.

The Fauci NIH approved experiments on hundreds of New York City orphans. Government agencies and pharmaceutical companies used the orphans in deadly AIDS drug trials.

In 2005, the city of New York hired the VERA Institute to form a final report on the drug trials. VERA was given no access to medical records for any of the children used in trials. Their report was published in 2008.

They reported that twenty-five children died during the drug studies, that an additional fifty-five children died following the studies (in foster care), and, according to Tim Ross, Director of the Child Welfare program at VERA (as of 2009), 29% of the remaining 417 children who were used in drug studies had died (out of a total 532 children that are admitted to have been used). [LINK]

The WIKIPEDIA writers cover up all details, as is expected.

No payment or compensation has been paid to any of the children used in the trials, or to their families.

A hospital nurse later spoke out to reporters about the testing. She reported that children would immediately get sick, break out or throw up during the testing.
They were orphans at the Incarnation Children’s Center in New York City.

The ICC Investigation website offers several documents and interviews with children and childcare workers at the hospital who participated in the research.

Note: The investigator credited with exposing this horrific study on AIDS orphans is (or was) an AIDS ‘skeptic’ but his research and interviews were explosive and disturbing.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE: Soros-Funded DA Alvin Bragg Fundraises Nearly $1 Million Since Politically Motivated Indictment Against Trump

Soros-funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has reportedly raised nearly $1 Million since making good on his campaign promises to indict Trump.

Per the New York Times, “Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan D.A., campaigned as the best candidate to go after the former president.”

Jury selection is still underway for Bragg’s election interference lawfare case against Trump. Last April, Trump was hit with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy.

The far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels trial trampled all over Trump’s First Amendment rights with a strict gag order.

Juan Merchan earlier this month expanded Trump’s gag order to bar Trump from making factual statements about the judge’s far-left family members after it was learned that the judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign and received tens of MILLIONS of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the first seven jurors in liberal Judge Juan Merchan’s Kangaroo Court, and they all get their news from the far-left New York Times. The trial is rigged.

Right Side Broadcasting Network reports,

Amid the start of President Donald Trump’s now-infamous “hush money” trial in a Manhattan Criminal Court, disturbing allegations have emerged that paint a picture of District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s possible financial boons for prosecuting the 45th president.

According to a report from Newsweek, based on campaign finance data, Bragg has raised more than $800,000 since indicting the 45th president in 2023. If he is not reelected in 2025, his term as DA in Manhattan will end in 2026.

The outlet stated that the money was raised between March 2023 and the last reporting date of January 2024.

It can be recalled that Bragg, in 2022, reduced 52% of all felony charges to misdemeanors. He then elevated a misdemeanor charge against Donald Trump, where the statute of limitations had already expired, to felony charges last year.

As Bradley Smith, Institute for Free Speech Chairman, Capital University law professor, and former Federal Election Commission Chairman, notes in an op-ed for The Federalist, the made-up felony charges against Trump are completely baseless, setting aside the clear conflicts of interest with the prosecution and the judge.

DA Alvin Bragg argues that Trump falsified business records in order to “conceal crimes that hid information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election” and to “boost his electoral prospects.” Under this theory, Bragg claims that Trump violated campaign finance laws by not publicly reporting so-called campaign expenditures to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

As Smith writes,

Misreporting business expenses is normally, at most, a misdemeanor. Bragg seeks to ratchet it up to a felony here by arguing that the misreporting was done to cover up a crime. That alleged crime is a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA). The theory is that Trump’s payments to Daniels were campaign expenditures and thus needed to be publicly reported as such. By not reporting the expenditure, the theory goes, Trump prevented the public from knowing information that might have influenced their votes.

But let’s think about this for a minute. Political candidates do things all the time that are “for the purpose of influencing an election,” but that, nonetheless, are not considered campaign expenditures. For example, a candidate cannot buy a new suit, get his teeth whitened, or pay for cosmetic surgery with campaign funds, even if he does so for the purpose of looking good on the campaign trail.

That’s because, in campaign finance law, these types of expenditures are known as “personal use.” FECA specifically prohibits the conversion of campaign funds to personal use, defined as any expenditure “used to fulfill any commitment, obligation, or expense that would exist irrespective of the candidate’s election campaign.”

Does anyone really think a candidate should be able to use campaign funds to settle lawsuits, or threatened lawsuits, arising from activities that occurred long before his candidacy? It’s stressful being a candidate, and a little relaxation may make the candidate more effective on the stump. Does that mean your campaign contribution should pay for a candidate massage? How about a country club membership, or tickets to the Super Bowl (after all, the candidate might take along a potential donor)?

Herein lies the most frightening part of this prosecution: Had Trump made these payments with campaign funds, it seems a near certainty he would now be facing criminal charges for a knowing and willful diversion of campaign funds to pay personal obligations. If Bragg’s prosecution is successful, it will mean a candidate can use campaign funds to pay almost any obligation that, the candidate might argue, would benefit his candidacy. Perhaps worse, zealous prosecutors could get a candidate coming or going — falsification of records if campaign funds are not used, and illegal personal use if campaign funds are used.

On Thursday, Joe Hoft published an article further explaining the complete lack of criminal conduct asserted by radical Soros-funded New York City Alvin Bragg in his lawsuit against President Trump. Joe Hoft was then invited on The War Room with Steve Bannon to discuss his investigation:

Joe Hoft on The War Room: Manhattan DA Bragg’s Case Against President Trump Do Not List Any Crimes – Adjusting Accounting Entries Are NOT Crimes (VIDEO)

Per Greg Price on X:

In 2022, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg reduced 52% of all felony charges to a misdemeanor.

In 2023, he then elevated a misdemeanor to a felony that both the DOJ and his predecessor refused to go after so he could indict the Republican nominee for president.

Today, Donald Trump will be in court for it because America is currently making Putin’s Russia look like a free country.

Biden Backs Mike Johnson’s Ukraine Aid Plan, Urges Democrats to Get on Board and Says he Will Sign Into Law “Immediately” – Rep. Thomas Massie: “Johnson’s Plan is Biden’s Plan”

Joe Biden, Democrats, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and the RINOs are colluding on an aid package for Ukraine, which may upset plans by some Republican lawmakers to remove Johnson from the Speaker’s chair.

The $95 billion package provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, Palestine. “I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who recently announced that we will cosponsor a motion to vacate the chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker, said on X, “Biden backs Johnson’s plan because Johnson’s plan is Biden’s plan.”

The Gateway Pundit reported last month that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) the motion thanks to his actions over the House Omnibus bill, which will fund the government until September 30.

Massie announced in an X post on Monday, “I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by Rep. MTG. He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker.”

He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker.

— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) April 16, 2024

Massie further slammed Johnson for leading the House to pass a $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans, reauthorization for warrantless searches of Americans under FISA Section 702, and his push for another disastrous foreign aid package:

Speaker Johnson has led the GOP to pass:

1) an omnibus that spends more than Pelosi’s highest year

2) an expansion of the domestic warrantless surveillance program

and this week he’s pushing

3) Schumer’s dream bill which contains $100 billion of foreign aid, mostly for war.

— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) April 16, 2024

Massie’s support is pivotal given the slim Republican majority in the House, which has been further diminished by the resignations of several GOP members and the ousting of Rep. George Santos (R-NY). This delicate balance suggests that a unified Democrat vote, coupled with the motion to vacate, could end Johnson’s tenure as Speaker.

However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Johnson was in negotiations with the Biden regime to introduce a substantial funding package for foreign conflicts and whip up opposition from the Democrats to a Motion to Vacate against him.

On Monday, Johnson said he is ready to fund the hapless Ukraine War. Johnson is not capable of fighting back against the Uniparty cabal so he joined them – once again.

Still no southern border security… These people care more about protecting Ukrainians than they do Americans.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) also slammed the foreign aid bills, asking, “Where is the funding for our border? $48.43 BILLION more for Ukraine but NO security for AMERICANS?”

The Biden White House released the following statement on Johnson’s Ukraine funding package:

Statement from President Joe Biden on the House’s National Security Supplemental

I strongly support this package to get critical support to Israel and Ukraine, provide desperately needed humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, and bolster security and stability in the Indo-Pacific. Israel is facing unprecedented attacks from Iran, and Ukraine is facing continued bombardment from Russia that has intensified dramatically in the last month.

The House must pass the package this week and the Senate should quickly follow. I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world: We stand with our friends, and we won’t let Iran or Russia succeed.

In Conservative Conference in Globalist Belgium, Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán Torches EU Leadership, Calls for Change, Says Ukraine ‘Not a Sovereign State Anymore’

There’s really no surprise in learning that Belgium’s government has gone full authoritarian by repeatedly targeting a Conservative conference taking place in Brussels, going as far as shutting down a day of events with a ridiculous excuse in the middle of UK’s Nigel Farage’s speech.

But as the old Arabic saying goes: ‘the dogs bark, the Caravan goes on’. In the run-up to a most relevant European Election cycle in recent times, the National Conservative Conference moved to its THIRD venue, and hosted as keynote speaker none other than conservative champion Viktor Orbán, long-serving Prime Minister of Hungary.

Orbán urged voters to reject mainstream political parties in the upcoming EU elections for their failure of leadership.

He also said Ukraine must never be allowed to join the either EU bloc or NATO.

Orbán strongly criticized EU climate alarmist policy and agriculture rules, that left farmers in great difficulty and drove them a an unprecedented season of protests.

He also stated the obvious: Europe’s migration crisis is now worse than ever.

Associated Press reported:

“’The sense of this European election is: change the leadership’, Orbán told an audience […] as campaigning heats up for Europe-wide polls on June 6-9. ‘If the leadership proves to be bad, it must be replaced. That’s so simple’, the right-wing populist leader said, to applause.”

Illiberal democrat Orbán torched the European Commission for using the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to target his country.

“’The bureaucrats in Brussels tried to suffocate Hungary financially’, he said.”

The commission has denied Hungary access to billions of Euros over ‘concerns about democratic backsliding in the country’ – a.k.a., unwillingness to obey Brussels Globalist mandatory agenda.

“The Hungarian leader, who has been in office since 2010, also underlined the failure of EU sanctions to stop the war in Ukraine. Addressing the fact that he’s often described in the media as a staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Orbán said: ‘My mother is not happy’.”

Read: EPIC Hungary’s Orbán on EU ‘Blackmail’: ‘There Is Not Enough Money in the World To Force Us To Accept Mass Migration and To Put Our Children in the Hands of LGBTQ Activists’

About Ukraine: ‘Guys, you have to understand that you are [Ukraine] a buffer zone country. You can’t change your house number’, he said.

“Orbán said ‘Ukraine is now just a protectorate’ relying on Western money and weapons and is ‘not a sovereign state anymore’.”

The ‘threat’ indeed existed, but it was not the Conservatives present: it was a group of ANTIFA thugs trying to disrupt the meeting.

“Nigel Farage, the man credited with taking Britain out of the European Union, addressed the crowd, saying that ‘a new form of evil ideology’ had tried to silence the conference.”

Even ultra-liberal Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo called the shutdown unacceptable.

“Municipal autonomy is a cornerstone of our democracy but can never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech and peaceful assembly since 1830. Banning political meetings is unconstitutional. Full stop.”

MUST SEE: O’Keefe Media Group Uncovers who is Really Running the White House – Special Advisor Reveals That Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Are Still Involved Behind The Scenes! (VIDEO)

Tyler Robinson, a special advisor at the United States Small Business Administration (SBA), recently revealed to an O’Keefe Media Group undercover journalist the inner workings of the Biden Administration and who is really running the White House.

Robinson says he reports to Arthur Plews, SBA Chief of Staff, who reports to SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman.

He revealed that some refer to former Facebook board member and Biden Chief of Staff Jeff Zients as “the second most powerful person in Washington” and that “by getting Jeff’s sign off, you’re getting the President to sign off.”

“Whatever this guy says, it’s what the President says,” Robinson told an undercover journalist. Robinson also said Jeff Zients is the most powerful person at the White House, “other than like the President.” Zients is even more powerful than Kamala Harris “in some ways” but “not legally,” according to Robinson.

Zeints’ approval for activity within the Administration includes his sign-off on activity that potentially violates the Hatch Act, which prevents federal employees from taking part in partisan activity or influencing an election. Robinson says that SBA Administrator Isabel Guzman indirectly campaigns for Joe Biden and helps to get Democrats elected in Congress. “Pretty much every week, she goes somewhere in the country… We can tell their accomplishments; she can’t like go on a stage and be like, ‘Hey, vote for Joe Biden.’ Like that’s illegal,” said Robinson.

“Any time we go [to a state], we try to visit with a Member of Congress, if they’re a Democrat… because then we can help them get reelected as well. So we’re going to Montana because Senator Tester, he’s the Democratic Senator from Montana, like he’s in a tough reelection race, and that’s like a seat we need in the Senate to maintain a majority.” Robinson added, “We all, like as an office, were going, and the White House was like, ‘yes, go. Invite Senator Tester. Don’t invite the other Senator because he’s a Republican, and don’t invite the two members of Congress because they’re Republicans.'” He then confirmed that the White House authorized the SBA to campaign for this Senator.

Robinson also revealed that Biden’s shadow cabinet of advisors, which includes Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton. According to Robinson, Hillary Clinton is close to people in the White House, such as Director of the Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, a former employee of Hillary Clinton, and uses them to influence policy. “She does a lot of the international stuff… They have like the Clinton Initiative,” he added.

Recall that O’Keefe previously exposed another White House official who admitted that Joe Biden’s mental health is in decline and that there are closed-door discussions about how to remove Kamala Harris from the 2024 ticket without stirring a “scandal” and giving poor optics to the American people.

Robinson also states that @BarackObama and @HillaryClinton are still involved behind the scenes at the White House.

Tyler Robinson, Special Advisor to the Chief of Staff of Administrator @SBAIsabel Guzman, details how @WhiteHouse directs @SBAIsabel Guzman to campaign for @POTUS so constantly that “[Guzman] is the most traveled member of the cabinet.

Invite Senator Tester. Don’t invite the other Senator because he’s a Republican. And don’t invite the two members of Congress because they’re Republicans.” Such actions may be considered potential violations of the Hatch Act, which restricts federal employees from taking an active part in partisan political management and forbids them from campaigning for or against candidates.

Sen. Rand Paul Issues Stark Warning to Trump: ‘He Will Lose His Voters if He Continues to Support Speaker Johnson’

(Photo by Ron Sachs-Pool/Getty Images)

Senator Rand Paul has issued a stern warning to former President Donald Trump regarding his continued support for Speaker Mike Johnson.

Speaker Mike Johnson, the self-proclaimed “wartime speaker,” announced on Wednesday that he is proceeding with his intention to introduce a series of foreign aid bills for discussion, including provisions for funding Ukraine.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Joe Biden, Democrats, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and the RINOs are colluding on an aid package for Ukraine.

The $95 billion package provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, Palestine.

“I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who recently announced that we will cosponsor a motion to vacate the chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker, said on X, “Biden backs Johnson’s plan because Johnson’s plan is Biden’s plan.”

Increased turmoil among House Republicans due to Speaker Mike Johnson’s swift approval of another aid bill for Ukraine.

“Chuck Schumer bragged on the Senate floor about Speaker Johnson giving Democrats everything they want in the foreign war bill and for Ukraine. Joe Biden just announced he supports the House bill Johnson is forcing forward. Johnson is not our Speaker, he is theirs. The question is how much longer will our conference tolerate this?” Rep. MTG wrote.

“There is no other way to describe it, it is surrender, it is disappointing. I won’t support it,” Rep. Matt Gaetz said.

It’s been reported, yet to be confirmed, that details of Speaker Johnson’s foreign aid strategy have been leaked. The alleged specifics are as follows:

$95.34 billion, roughly 60% of which goes directly into the DIB:

Ukraine – $48.43 billion

  • $19.85 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD
  • $14.8 billion for DOD ops in EUCOME AOR
  • $13.8 billion in USAl for Ukraine to purchase US weapons
  • $8 million for IG
  • ($7.85 billion direct support to Ukraine government)

Israel – $14.1 billion

  • $4 billion for missile defense (Iron Dome and David’s Sling)
  • $1.2 billion for Iron Beam
  • $4 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD
  • $3.5 billion in FMS for Israel to purchase US weapons
  • $800 million for ammunition plant improvements

Red Sea Operations – $2.4 billion

  • use for operations, force protection, and the replacement of combat
    expenditures

INDOPACOM – $2.58 billion

  • 1.9 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD
  • 542 million to INODPACOM UPL
  • 133 million to enhance cruise missile components

Submarine Industrial Base – $3.3 billion

  • Investment in dry dock construction, etc, in support of SIB and AUKIS

Still no southern border security… These people care more about protecting Ukrainians than they do Americans.

In a pivotal turn, Senator Rand Paul has openly supported Congressman Massie’s call for Speaker Johnson’s resignation.

“Thomas Massie’s doing the right thing. I think the Republicans need real leadership… I think we need someone who has some courage and some intestinal fortitude,” Sen. Paul said.

Sen. Rand Paul has directed a stern warning at former President Trump, cautioning that his continued backing of Speaker Johnson could alienate a significant portion of his base.

“If Trump supports this monstrous, unpaid for foreign aid debt buster, he will lose the very supporters who comprise his vanguard. Mark my words,” Sen. Rand Paul warned.

Stephen A. Smith Says Democrat Lawfare Against Trump Proves They’re Scared They Can’t Beat Him on the Issues (VIDEO)

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith recently went off on the Democrats in a rant about all of the lawfare that they’re waging against Trump.

This is not the first time that Smith has gone off like this. Just last month, he tore into Democrats over similar issues.

Smith suggested that all this does is prove that Democrats don’t believe they can beat Trump on the issues. He also suggests that it proves Trump’s claims about election interference.

FOX News reports:

Stephen A. Smith calls liberals cowards for lawfare against Trump: ‘Scared you can’t beat him’

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith called out liberals directly for pursuing criminal trials against former President Trump, saying that they’re “scared” they “can’t beat him on the issues.”…

“It’s much ado about nothing,” Smith said on the podcast. “To my liberal friends out there, all you’re doing is showing that you’re scared you can’t beat him on the issues and the merits.”…

“That’s why he keeps saying they can’t beat me at the election, at the polls. This is the only way they can do it,” he said.

Smith also gave a warning about where this strategy will lead, especially if Trump is never put in jail, predicting there will “never be peace in this country” as a result.

“And if you don’t put him in jail, and he still goes from being the presumptive GOP nominee to the official GOP nominee, and he goes to the polls, even though he was going to whine about winning and being rigged again, you have given more fodder to that argument, which means we’ll never have peace in this country.”

CONFIRMED – AS GATEWAY PUNDIT REPORTED: Afghan Suicide Bomber Who Killed 13 Americans and 173 Afghans Was Released From Bagram Prison During Biden’s Botched 2021 Withdrawal

On August 26, 2021, Islamic terrorist Abdul Rehman killed 173 Afghans and 13 Americans at the Kabul Airport.

The Gateway Pundit reported in September 2021 that the terrorist was released from prison at Bagram Air Base after Joe Biden abandoned the airfield in the middle of the night.


Abdul Rehman al-logri

Joe Biden abandoned Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years in July by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ secret departure more than two hours after they left.

The Taliban quickly took control of Bagram Air Base, which is only 30 miles north of Kabul, on August 15th and released thousands of terrorists held at its prison. The Americans and Afghans left the Taliban military equipment, uniforms, rations and even sports drinks.

The ISIS suicide bomber who murdered 13 US servicemen and women and 169 Afghans was released by the Taliban from the Bagram Base prison in July.

ISIS suicide bomber Abdul Rehman was incarcerated at the Bagram prison for the past four years until he was set free by the Taliban terrorists.

Story claims Kabul airport bomber was an Afghan IS-K member who planned an attack in New Delhi. CIA detected threat in 2017, notified RAW. RAW nabbed him, gave him to US which sent him to Bagram. Taliban released him and he kills 169 Afghans/13 US soldiers https://t.co/X1VZqzmVrr

— Jeff M. Smith (@Cold_Peace_) September 19, 2021

Firstpost reported:

The Islamic State suicide bomber who killed at least 169 Afghan civilians and 13 United States soldiers outside Kabul airport last month was incarcerated in Afghanistan’s notorious Bagram prison for the past four years, thanks to Indian efforts, Firstpost has learnt through credible intelligence sources.

Senior Indian intelligence sources familiar with the case have told Firstpost that he was handed over to the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency by the Research and Analysis Wing in September 2017. However, the jihadist walked free on 15 August along with thousands of other dangerous terrorists held in the high-security prison, taking advantage of the chaos that ensued in the aftermath of the United State’s hurried exit and the Taliban’s swift takeover of the entire country.

Identified as Abdul Rehman, the jihadist was a former student of an engineering college in India and hailed from Afghanistan’s Logar province. He was the son of an Afghan merchant who frequently visited India for business.

His arrest had led to the termination of a plot by the Islamic State of Khurasan Province (IS-K) — the Islamic State’s regional wing in Afghanistan — to stage suicide bombings in New Delhi and other cities across the region, probably on the behest of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI).

Sawt al-Hind mentions that Abdur Rehman al-Logari was arrested 5 years ago in India before he could carry out a suicide attack in Delhi (to avenge Kashmir) and deported to Afghanistan. He did not go home and struck Kabul airport. https://t.co/PGUxDkyvjf

— Vineet (@UNIT54777) September 18, 2021

It has now been confirmed that the suicide bomber who killed 13 U.S. service members in 2021 during Biden’s disastrous withdrawal had been released from an Afghan prison as the confusion unfolded.

The Afghan withdrawal happened early in Biden’s presidency and his poll numbers have never fully recovered. The incident may have also had something to do with the military’s ongoing struggle to find new recruits.

Following the withdrawal, Biden famously turned his back to the press and the American people at one point, a gesture he has repeated many times since.

The Washington Free Beacon released this confirmation on Wednesday – more than two years after Gateway Pundit’s original reporting.

Biden Admin Confirms Afghan Suicide Bomber Was Freed From Prison Abandoned During US Withdrawal

The Biden administration on Monday confirmed that the Afghan suicide bomber who killed more than a dozen U.S. service members at the Kabul airport in 2021 had been freed from a prison abandoned during the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCaul (R., Texas) in a Monday statement said a Defense Department report revealed that the suicide bomber who detonated an explosive belt at the airport’s Abbey Gate and killed 13 U.S. service members and injured 45 more in August 2021 was “Abdul Rahman al-Logari, an ISIS-K terrorist who was freed from the Bagram prison by the Taliban.”

American troops had left the Bagram Airfield just weeks before the Abbey Gate bombing, as part of the Biden administration’s Afghanistan withdrawal. Afghan officials said the American troops abandoned Bagram, Afghanistan’s largest airfield, after nearly 20 years without even notifying the base’s new Afghan commander.

McCaul in his Monday statement denounced congressional Democrats, arguing that the American public would have known what happened at the Kabul airport much sooner had the Democrats “fulfilled their constitutional obligations and conducted oversight.”

After the suicide bombing, Biden somehow managed to make things look even worse.

Remember when Joe Biden looked at his watch during a memorial service for the 13 US service members he got kįlled in Kabul in 2021 during his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan?

America certainly does.

I will try to redirect people from /blog to there, but if that doesn’t work, just go to the main domain.

Movement at AmericanStasi.comChapter Three, the first installment of the Streetview surveillance course first featured here is now up. It will translate well to a printed book, I think, but it works even better online, especially since it will be free. I finished Bulgaria today in book form, now I just need to get it into html for the site.

I called GQ Electronics, which makes the EMF-390, and spoke with an engineer. The meter produces an accurate, calibrated reading up to 9999 mw/m2. Over that, the sensor output may be off by up to 30-50%, or not. At 34,419, the new sensor they use is saturated, and that is the highest reading you will see on the meter. Older meters used a sensor which topped out just over 74000mw/m2.

I told the engineer I was in a thing with domestic surveillance, and this was some kind of weapon pointed at me, and he said he had a similar call from someone else with an older version of the meter, with the older version of the sensor which topped out at 74,ooo some-odd mw/m2, and their’s had topped out, so he felt the reading could be a lot more than 34,419 mw/m2, but there was no way to tell. There was not much more to discuss.

It is still topping out, about five times today. However the TinySA does not seem to register a single super-high signal. It could be it is being pulsed too fast.

However, is it possible one mw/m2 on one frequency, and a half mw/m2 on another, and two mw/m2 on another might add up cumulatively to the total reading, and if the pulse across all of them hit simultaneously, all the TinySA would show is like a 40dBM peak on one which it happened to be measuring at that moment? Might I not be looking for a single frequency spike? I have a number of spikes on the TinySA, from 2.4Ghz to 4.3Ghz, to a number of 6.something GHz signals, to even a 9.3Ghz and a bunch of 10 something GHzs, and an 11.3Ghz.

dBms range from around -50-60 for most, to -40 for the 4.3XXX (XXX varies) and a -33.1 dBm for 11.6792Ghz (although that only produced 1.339 mw/m2 on the EMF-390 when it hit).

That said when I put the EMF-390 in spectrum analyzer mode, at the upper ranges (2.5Ghz and down), the whole spectrum graph pops up quickly then drops fast, and the line which remains elevated for peak reading looks like the whole graph, lifted up to represent a uniform signal rise for every single frequency and what is between them. I will post a video tomorrow.

Could they pulse the whole spectrum, and so each frequency is raised in amplitude, and each one adds a little to the mw/m2 reading? Or does that mw/m2 have to all be from the single most powerful peak?

If, as with microwaves, different frequencies are tuned to resonate with different molecular bond lengths, it might be possible to heat, and even in some cases, denature specific molecules preferentially, by mixing and matching frequencies for all of the bonds, or to create specific resonances unique to specific molecules.

TYRANNY: Bank of America, USAA ‘Debank’ Conservative Election Fraud Attorney Dr. John Eastman

By: Ben Kew

Two major banks have closed the accounts of conservative attorney John Eastman in retaliation for his advocacy against Democratic election fraud.

The Daily Caller reports that Eastman, who was recently disbarred by a left-wing judge in California over his efforts to expose massive fraud that marred the 2020 presidential election, had bank accounts with Bank of America and USAA closed without warning.

Eastman confirmed that he had already moved most of his money from Bank of America to USAA over concerns that the former was involved in leftist advocacy. Both of these accounts are federally insured and received massive taxpayer bailouts during the 2008 financial crisis.

Yet despite their links to the federal government, Eastman revealed that both of his accounts were closed within the space of two months.

The Daily Caller explained:

Bank of America alerted Eastman in September of 2023 that it would be closing his accounts, a letter obtained by the Daily Caller shows. Shortly thereafter, USAA notified Eastman in November that his two bank accounts with the company would be closed, a separate letter shows.

“And then two months later, we get a similar letter from USAA saying that they’ve decided that they’re going to close your account and they did like three weeks later,” Eastman told the Daily Caller. “And so that was where all of our automatic payments were coming out of, all our automatic deposits. So it was a real pain to shift everything. We had to get a new bank account opened and shift everything over.”

Eastman told the Daily Caller he was using the accounts he had set up with Bank of America and USAA for personal finances. He and his wife qualified for USAA bank accounts because his father-in-law served in the Navy in WWII and in the Marines in the Korean War, the attorney told the Daily Caller.

“We had Bank of America accounts for about 40 years. But just because of their wokeness we kind of quit a couple of years ago, using them much. They’ve got physical locations and therefore easy ATM, so we kept our accounts there, but we didn’t use much. And about four or five years ago, we opened USAA bank accounts and we were using those as our primaries,” Eastman said.

As extensively reported by The Gateway Pundit, debanking has become one of the left’s favorite methods of going after their opponents. In 2021, this very publication was unceremoniously banned from PayPal, despite never violating its terms of service.

Over in the U.K., Brexit leader Nigel Farage also found that he was being denied accounts by major banks. After campaigning on the issue, he received an apology from Natwest (of which the British government is a major shareholder) and eventually forced the resignation resignation of its CEO Dame Alison Rose.

When individuals or organizations lose access to bank accounts, many of them lose large amounts of revenue and must find alternative methods of banking within a short space of time.

Just this week, over dozen Republican Attorney Generals sent a letter to raising concerns about how they were actively targeting the accounts of conservative or anti-establishment entities.

“Your discriminatory behavior is a serious threat to free speech and religious freedom, is potentially illegal, and is causing political and regulatory backlash,” the letter states. “Your bank needs to be transparent with and assure us, its shareholders, and others that it will not continue to de-bank customers for their speech or religious exercise.”

J6 Political Hostage Jeff Sabol Asks Readers to Review Video of His Actions and Decide If He Deserves 5 Years in Prison – Faces $32,000 in Fines – Please Help This Dad Below!

Jeffery Sabol

Guest post by Jenn Baker
CondemnedUSAcom

The egregious overcharging and sentencing of January 6th Political Hostages continues to happen daily, over three years later.

53-year-old Jeffery Sabol has spent 3+ years locked up for that day. He was sentenced at the end of March to 63 months (about 5 and 1/4 years), 3 years probation, and over $32,000 in fines and restitution. Sabol, a Geophysicist, is from Colorado. He is a devoted father, son, and partner to his beautiful fiancé.

Sabol has been a friend to many, and probably the most liked and respected guy in the DC Gulag. He has always provided hope, great “Dad” jokes, and advice to those detained in the Gulag as well as to the thousands that tune into the Freedom Corner Vigil. For over 620 nights, www.4Ashli.com has held a vigil outside the DC Gulag. The Hostages get to call in and talk to the world via livestream. Every night over the last year, Jeff would be the last phone call of the night and conduct the “J6 choir” in the National Anthem and then wrap up the call with news of the day.

** Please help Jeff Sabol here.

For more on the vigil: Let J6 Political Prisoners Know They Are Not Alone: Please Help Support the Weekly Livestream of the J6 Political Prisoner Vigil Outside the DC Gulag

Sabol has asked that the readers of the Gateway Pundit see the allocution he provided to his judge, U.S. District Judge, Rudolph Contreras. He has also provided two video exhibits that he’d like you to see as well. While you read and watch all of this, Jeff is enduring a dose of “Diesel Therapy” provided by the Bureau of Prisons and the US Marshals. He has recently been removed from the DC Gulag after 3+ years, and he, along with his family and friends, will know where he’s going when he gets there. For now, he remains strong and has faith that all of this will turn around in the not-too-distant future.

This written allocution is from Jeffrey Sabol and contains the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth, so help me, God.

Your Honor, Thank You for accepting my written allocution. This allocution contains 8
points.

Point 1: I take Full Responsibility for my actions.

Point 2: Please allow me to set the record straight in regard to two items that were
discussed by my previous lawyer during my initial bond hearing that was approximately
three years ago. *

A) I do not recall telling my previous lawyer that I thought that the 2020 election was not
stolen.

B) It is true that my vocation was to use geophysics to locate buried unexploded ordnance (UXO). It is also true that (at times) I have excavated UXO; however, my previous lawyer misspoke when he said that I disarm/diffuse them. This I do not do.

Point 3: Please forgive my indulgence in defining two terms before moving forward. *

Allocution is defined as, “In a criminal procedure, allocution usually refers to the statement of a defendant, made following conviction, and is made prior to sentence. It is the defendant’s opportunity to offer mitigating argument.” * Mitigation is defined as “to make less severe”.

Please help Jeff here.

Point 4: Below is an excerpt from Mr. Tucker Carlson’s interview of Congressman Clay
Higgins that was conducted on January 6, 2024.

Mr. Higgins: “I’m following the evidence and to my end it implicates our FBI, the highest level, and a conspiracy within our government at the highest level to create, to set the stage, for a compromised election cycle in 2020 and then the actions that took place on January 4, 5, 6; and then the criminal investigation, arrest, and prosecution, of Americans that they were able to entrap and document with the thousands of cameras that were operating that day. They used that evidence that they knew they were setting up to investigate, arrest, and prosecute the Americans that they had entrapped.”

* Please note that the text above is from a United States Congressman. I humbly offer this quote as a mitigating argument to support the claim that nefarious elements of a potential Federal nature may have been involved that then had an impact on my actions on January 6. On January 6 I initially followed those that instigated, agitated, and motivated the crowd and as such I became engaged in the situation. I was wrong to follow and to get engaged. For that I apologize.

Point 5: The 1512 charge is titled: Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant.

Section c2 of this charge is defined as relating to whoever corruptly obstructs,
influences, or impedes any official proceeding or attempts to do so. * per U.S. v Throckmorton (98 U.S. 61 25 L. Ed. 93 – 1878), “There is no question of the general doctrine that fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents, and even judgements.”

Additionally, Gorman v Johnson (46 Ind App. 672, 91 N.E. 971 (Ind App. 1910)), “It is elemental that fraud vitiates all that it touches…” [Vitiates is defined as: legally ineffective; to invalidate] Exhibits 1 and 2 contain evidence that supports that the 2020 election was rife with fraud. I readily admit that this evidence is currently unsubstantiated in a court of law. My mitigating argument for the 1512 c2 charge is that although I am guilty of disrupting an official proceeding; per Exhibits 1 and 2 (and the case law provided above), there is mounting evidence that this was not a valid official proceeding. *

Note that Exhibit F is 281 pages in length and is titled: “The Fingerprints of Fraud”. This document can be found at http://fingerprintsoffraud.com. *

Note that Exhibit G is 32 pages in length and is Titled “Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020
Presidential Election in the Swing States.”

** Please help Jeff Sabol here.

Point 6: In regards to the 2111 charge of robbery in which I was guilty of robbing Officer AW of his baton, Exhibit H (long video) shows that there were multiple bodies on the ground in front of officer AW. My mitigating argument for this charge is that upon seeing bodies on the ground my reflex was to remove the object that I believed was the cause.

Please note that I show no intent to engage with officer AW after the baton is removed. *

Point 7: In regards to the 111B charge in which I was found guilty of assault with a dangerous or deadly weapon on Officer BM, my mitigating arguments are (per Exhibit H):

A) My intent was to help someone pull a body away from the chaos that existed at the tunnel entrance.

B) From my initial angle there is no way that I could know that this was an officer until he was already moving down the stairs.

C) The video shows that I exhibit no malice towards officer BM once he is at the bottom of the stairs.

Please note that I immediately then go to my left to help someone who is unconscious. In the span
of approximately 20 seconds, my mindset was: remove baton, assist with moving person from tunnel entrance, help unconscious person.

Point 8: Please note that the intent of this allocution is not to negate my guilt, nor to
negate any acceptance of responsibility. Per the definition of an allocution, the intent of
this written allocution (and Exhibits) is to solely offer mitigating arguments.

Thank You Your Honor.
Very Respectfully,
Jeffrey Sabol

What you just read was my written allocution that my lawyer submitted to my judge (along with 2 videos) just prior to my sentencing. On March 21, I was sentenced to 63 months for robbing an officer of a baton, assaulting an officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon; and disruption of an official proceeding.

Please watch the 2 videos and you decide if my actions warrant a 5 ¼ year sentence.

Video #1 (10 min)


Video #2 (1 min)

On a different but related topic, I need your help.

Prior to my incarceration, I prided myself on never missing an alimony or child support payment. My alimony payment ended 7 years ago, but my child support payments continued (even though I had 50% custody).

During the past 38 months that I have already been incarcerated (While I awaited sentencing), I have paid a total of $19,000 in child support, all of which came from my GiveSendGo account.

To be blunt, I will not be able to continue to pay child support unless I have your help. I am not asking for a handout; I am asking for your help in supporting my daughter when I can’t.

Please help Jeff here.

Thank you.
God Bless You –and- God Bless America
Jeffrey Sabol

Dirty Bill Barr Says He Will Vote for Trump for President After He Worked Diligently to Put Joe Biden in Office – Says Another Biden Term Is “National Suicide”

Former AG Bill Barr told the FOX News audience on Wednesday that he is going to vote for President Trump in the 2024 election.

Bill Barr said there were two bad choices and he will vote Republican – That the continuation of the Biden agenda is “national suicide.”

Bill Barr: ‘The real threat to liberty, the real threat to our system of liberty are the excesses of the progressive left.  They’re perverting the system of justice and that’s where the danger lies.  The corruption and subversion of our institutions by the left…  I said all along, given two bad choices I think it’s my duty to pick the person who I think will do the least harm to the country. In my mind I will vote the Republican ticket. I think the real danger to the country and real danger to democracy is I say the progressive agenda… Continuation of the Biden agenda is national suicide.”

Bill Barr wants you to forget what he did to ensure Joe Biden was declared the winner in 2020.

In 2020, then-Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray worked together to seal the deal for Joe Biden.  They were in on it.

Bill Barr and Chris Wray were active participants in the massive criminal fraud of the 2020 election.

1. GBI Strategies Democrat-funded ballot registration harvesting scandal

The massive ballot registration fraud by GBI Strategies – a Democrat-funded operation – in Michigan and every battleground state.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, in August 2023, CONFIRMED that 8,000 to 10,000 suspected fraudulent ballot registrations were delivered to the Muskegon, Michigan, City Clerk prior to the 2020 election.

The Gateway Pundit and our contacts in Michigan released the original report earlier in the week. This report and investigation was buried for three years.

Our reporting was based on a redacted police report describing how hero Muskegon City Clerk Meisch encountered a woman dropping off 8,000 – 10,000 completed voter registration applications. Meisch found this unusual since the voting population in Muskegon at the time was around 30,000 individuals so she immediately reported this to authorities.  The Gateway Pundit reported that the “registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers.”

An investigation found that the woman who turned in the fraudulent ballot registrations worked for GBI Strategies, a Democrat-funded group with operations across the state.

GBI Strategies was funded by dark money super PAC ‘BlackPAC,’ who paid them $11,254,919 to register voters for Joe Biden.

The Gateway Pundit reported that during the investigation, the police found guns, burner phones, pre-paid cash cards, and incomplete registrations at a defunct eyeglass store where GBI Strategies had set up operations in the state.  GBI was operating in several locations around the state.

Here is the EXPLOSIVE report by The Gateway Pundit published last fall.

NOW WE HAVE PROOF! TGP EXCLUSIVE: Massive 2020 Voter Fraud Uncovered in Michigan – Including Estimated “800,000 Ballot Applications Sent to Non-Qualified Voters” – Bags of Pre-Paid Gift Cards, Guns with Silencers, Burner Phones, and a Democrat-Funded Organization with Multiple Temporary Facilities in Several States

We now know that the investigation was sent to the FBI, where it died a slow death. When The Gateway Pundit released our report in August 2023, Attorney General Nessel announced days later, after her original silence, that she would send it to the FBI – again.

It should be noted that NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON was arrested for this massive multi-state ballot registration fraud involving THOUSANDS of fake registrations!

2. The #DetroitLeaks training sessions

The #DetroitLeaks Tapes: Democrats in Michigan were caught on audio training poll workers in Detroit to commit voter fraud in a variety of ways.

The #DetroitLeaks reports revealed that Detroit poll workers who were trained in how to lietrained on how to handle ballot challenges from Trump supporters, told to call 911 on any challengers, and to use COVID as an excuse to deny poll challengers access to view the ballots as they were being counted and tabulated.

Here’s the #DetroitLeaks video that was captured by an undercover conservative reporter during a training session prior to the 2020 election.

The series of leaks also revealed that even challenged ballots would be processed as regular ballots. Incoming State Representative Steve Carra and Michigan activist Bob Cushman filed a successful lawsuit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over the explosive allegations that poll workers were being trained in how to commit voter fraud.

This report was banned from YouTubeTwitter, and other social media platforms. It was too explosive.  Democrats were caught redhanded training poll workers how to cheat in the 2020 election for Joe Biden.

Multiple independent witnesses have approached the Gateway Pundit and confirmed that the predictions from #DetroitLeaks were accurate and that the counting of ballots for Wayne County/Detroit at the TCF Center (aka Cobo Hall) was by poll workers who refused challenges from GOP poll challengers, used COVID as an excuse to deny access to review the process, tabulated challenged illegal ballots, and fulfilled this voter fraud prophecy.

Bill Barr and Chris Wray did nothing to investigate these planned and coordinated voter fraud training sessions. The Gateway Pundit believes similar actions may have been used in other states.

3. In a coordinated act, battleground states quit counting ballots on election night

On Election night in November 2020, President Trump was soundly defeating Joe Biden. Trump was crushing Joe Biden in the battleground states.

Then, something took place that Americans had never experienced in over 200 years of its existence. News broke that the battleground states were going to quit counting votes for the night. This had NEVER taken place in US history.

AMUSE reposted this video compilation.

On election night, President Trump went out to speak to supporters. He had won the election. But then suddenly, the battleground states announced they had stopped counting. President Trump told his supporters, “This is a fraud. This is an embarrassment to our country.”

Overnight, Democrats dumped hundreds of thousands of mysterious votes for Joe Biden into the battleground states. There was collusion. Four days later, even Pennsylvania, where they locked the doors on the counting rooms and prevented Republican observers from entering, had gone to Joe Biden. Trump was ahead in the state by nearly 800,000 votes on Election night!

Flashback: On Election Night Chris Wallace Said Election Workers in MI, PA, WI, NC, GA and NV Had to Stop Counting Because They’re “Normal People” Who “Need to Sleep”

This was classic election fraud. The entire country knew it then and knows it now. The pretenders in the fake news immediately started pushing the notion that Joe Biden, who never held an honest rally the entire election season, had captured 81 million votes. It was the greatest crime in US history.

So what happened? And who made the call to the swing states to quit counting?

We will never know because Chris Wray from the FBI and AG Bill Barr never investigated this criminal act.

Today, we are starting to understand Attorney General Bill Barr‘s role in this historic criminal act.

4. The FBI and DOJ hid the Biden family crimes from the American public despite holding onto Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” since 2019.

Hunter and Joe Biden golfing wit

The FBI knew Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell was authentic in 2019 but lied to social media companies so the story would be censored during the 2020 election to help Joe Biden.

The House Ways and Means Committee reported in 2023:

In October 2019, the FBI became aware that a repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that the laptop might contain evidence of a crime. The FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID.

According to testimony from Laura Dehmlow, the Section Chief of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), the FBI deliberately lied to social media companies about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop to protect Joe Biden.

In the nine months leading up to the 2020 election, the FBI met over 30 times with social media platforms — all while in possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop.

In one of the meetings, somebody from Twitter essentially asked whether the laptop was real.

“One of the FBI folks who was on the call did confirm that, “yes, it was,” before another participant jumped in and said, “no further comment,” Dehmlow said.

There it is.

BIG BREAKING NEWS

Testimony reveals the FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop was authentic, but when asked by a social media company about the laptop’s authenticity the FBI said “no further comment.”

The rest is history. pic.twitter.com/LzjS5cSBS6

— House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) July 20, 2023

Fifty-one top intel officials also lied about the laptop from hell.

Chris Wray and Bill Barr hid this from the American public, knowing it could sway the election and put a quick end to President Trump’s bogus first impeachment. No one has faced any disciplinary action for this major fraud perpetrated on the American public.

5. The FBI and DOJ refused to investigate the Ballot Box stuffing operations by Democrats

In June 2022, former AG Bill Barr laughed hysterically when he was asked about the evidence of voter fraud presented by “2000 Mules” during his pre-recorded testimony at the Jan 6 show trial.

“Uh, the election was not stolen by fraud. And I haven’t seen anything since the election that changes my mind on that, including the ‘2000 Mules’ movie,” Barr said as he laughed hysterically.

Barr cited the lack of photographic evidence. And then mocked the geo-tracking cell phone data.

Clearly, Bill Barr has no idea how geo-tracking works or about the precision of the data obtained by the True the Vote investigators.

The Gateway Pundit and 100 Percent Fed Up, with the help of the investigative team at Mc4EI, released several videos showing individuals jamming multiple ballots into drop Detroit, Michigan boxes as well as two close-up videos of individuals who appear to be signing the envelopes of other people’s ballots during the 2020 election. This footage was obtained by The Gateway Pundit.

Here is one of the videos we released of ballot box stuffing in Detroit.

In the video below, a man dressed in street clothes exits the front passenger seat of a postal worker’s truck and stuffs a stack of ballots into the absentee ballot drop box in Detroit. In a second video taken on the same day, the same man exits the passenger side of the USPS truck and delivers an even larger stack of ballots into the slot of the drop box. In this video, you can clearly see he is recording the drop on his cell phone in his left hand.

This one’s for you, Bill Barr…

Watch:

On October 29, a US Postal worker can be seen making four trips to the Liberty Center satellite voting center in Detroit. The final trip was made in a private vehicle. Although the people making the deliveries are not the same, the number on the front of the US Post Office vehicle is the same!

On April 20, Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit and Patty McMurray of 100 Percent Fed Up interviewed Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips to ask about the incredible work they did to uncover a massive coordinated criminal ring that was spread across several critical swing states Trump won in 2016, but curiously, lost in 2020.

Thanks to the hard work and commitment of the Michigan Citizens For Election Integrity (MC4EI) and their team, who poured over hours of dropbox footage, the Gateway Pundit and 100 Percent Fed Up were able to provide footage from the drop boxes in Detroit to True the Vote to be used in the “2000 Mules” movie.

Bill Barr scoffed at this likely criminal act. Chris Wray ignored it.

6. The United States Postal Service (USPS) was transporting trailers full of completed ballots from New York to swing state Pennsylvania

Election fraud whistleblowers came forward in December 2020 following the controversial election, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October 21, 2020.

The information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.

The Amistad Project said at the time that they had sworn declarations that over 300,000 ballots were issued in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania.

They said that their evidence reveals multi-state illegal efforts by USPS workers to influence the election in at least three of six swing states.

The whistleblower statements included potentially hundreds of thousands of completed absentee ballots being transported across three state lines and a trailer filled with ballots disappearing in Pennsylvania.

Attorney Phil Kline said, “130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were shipped from Bethpage, NY, to Lancaster, PA, where those ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared.”

Truck driver Jesse Morgan was present at the press conference and spoke for 9 minutes about his unbelievable ordeal. Morgan was tasked with delivering completed ballots to Pennsylvania from New York State.

The Gateway Pundit later discovered that rather than investigate this massive alleged crime, US Attorney General Bill Barr called up investigator Tony Shaffer and KILLED the investigation!  He never lifted a finger to investigate this enormous act of election fraud!

In June 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported that the United States Postal Service investigated the allegations by the truck drivers – but they would NOT release their report.

The American Thinker reported in 2023 that the USPS finally released their report on the accusations of truck drivers hauling completed ballots across state lines into Pennsylvania before election day!

The Post Office Inspector General (OIG) acknowledged that a contractor in Rochester, New York, printed 650,000 general election ballots that went to Pennsylvania. Of the total, 450,000 went to Philadelphia County, and 200,000 went to Chester County.

Jesse Morgan was exonerated. No wonder they hid this for over a  year!

The USPS was running ballots!

Rather than investigate this massive criminal act, Bill Barr screamed at investigator Tony Shaffer for looking into the USPS ballot trafficking scandal and FBI agents working for Chris Wray harassed the whistleblowers!

7. The State Farm Center ballot stuffing operation

The FBI report on the late-night ballot fraud operation at the State Farm Center implicates Chris Wray and exonerates Rudy Giuliani.

As reported in December 2023 – Chris Wray’s FBI, along with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office, released a report in June 2023 where they announced that they “did not uncover any violations” during their investigation of the late-night ballot counting at The State Farm Center in Atlanta, Georgia on Election Day November 3, 2020.

According to the report, “Teams of investigators from the FBI, GBI, and Georgia SOS conducted independent and simultaneous interviews of Fulton County elections workers who were involved in the processing and scanning of absentee ballots at State Farm Arena on Election Night on November 3, 2020.

Investigators from the three law enforcement agencies also reviewed the entire unedited security video footage of the events in question at State Farm Arena. SOS investigators independently interviewed party observers who were present at State Farm Arena that evening.”

They say they did not uncover any violations or evidence of wrongdoing. That’s because they hid it from their report.

The interviews for this investigation took place back in December 2020, following the November 2020 election.

According to the FBI-GBI report, the “bulk of the investigation appears to have been conducted in December 2020 and January 2021, but both the State Election Board and the Georgia Secretary of State’s office was backed up reviewing claims.”

Again, the report was just released in June 2023 by Chris Wray’s FBI and the GBI in Georgia – along with Georgia SOS Brad Raffensperger. It appears that there was no new information in the report other than what was known in December 2020, so it begs the question – Why did it take three years for Chris Wray’s FBI to release the report?

Several election officials went back to the State Farm Arena, and they began counting ballots late at night without observers present. According to the Georgia Republican Party at the time, this was unlawful activity.

Tweets from GA GOP Chair David Shafter following the 2020 presidential election and irregularities at the State Farm Center in Georgia.

Joe Hoft, who is a contributor at The Gateway Pundit, first released video at the time exposing election workers at the State Farm Center on Election night shoving stacks of ballots through the machines multiple times late at night without any election observers in the room.

In one instance, the stack of ballots was fed through one machine three times by operator Ruby Freeman, and that same stack of ballots was then fed through another machine by-election worker Ralph Jones. The same stack of ballots went through the machines at least four times!

Here again, is a video of the election workers pulling hidden ballots out from under a draped table, jamming the ballots through the machines multiple times.

It should be noted that this was not just happening at one table but at multiple tables.

Watch:


Following the 2020 presidential election,  Rudy Giuliani and The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft and Joe Hoft were sued by two election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Shae Moss, her daughter.  The two women claim that they were threatened after Rudy Giuliani, Jim, and Joe reported on their illicit activities late at night on November 3, 2020.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft discussed the case with a very prominent attorney in December 2023. We were advised to review the report released in June by Chris Wray’s FBI, GBI, and the Georgia Secretary of State’s office.

And what we found was clear-cut dishonesty by Chris Wray’s FBI and Georgia’s Brad Raffensperger.

Chris Wray’s FBI, the GBI, and GA SOS interviewed the individual who created the fake Ruby Freeman social media page and published totally fabricated posts that allegedly were put up by Ruby Freeman.

(For the record, The Gateway Pundit did not post these social media reports at the time because they were completely over the top. We knew they were likely fake.)

Here is what is interesting: The FBI interviewed the “man” who created the fake Ruby Freeman account, but they NEVER named him in the report. His name was redacted for some reason?

 From the report:

“He created the @rubyfreeman Georgia account but did not write the specific post regarding tampering with the 2020 election,” according to the FBI report.

“On December 4, 2020, he came across Instagram user “@[redacted] who posted the supposed confession by Freeman. Shortly thereafter, @[redacted] changed their account name to @rubyfreeman_georgia. That account holder subsequently changed the account name to “rubyfreeman_georgia. The account was later made private, and then deleted. [redacted] created a new @rubyfreeman_georgia account and described his account as being a fake or parody account.”

FBI report page 9

FBI report page 9

The FBI did not arrest the man, as far as we know. Why not? 

Who is this man?  Why was his name redacted?

Why was the second man’s name redacted? Why was the second man not arrested?

The “Investigative Findings” or conclusion of the FBI, GBI, and GA SOS report omits the most important accusations!

The Gateway Pundit was the first to report that the election workers, Ruby Freeman, Shae Moss, Ralph Jones, and others, were shoving stacks of ballots through the machines numerous times.  There is a video of Ruby taking a stack of ballots and shoving the ballots through the machines three times!  There is a video of Ralph shoving that same stack of ballots through his machine after they were fed through Ruby’s machine.

There is also proof that Ruby was operating the machine despite not being qualified to operate it!  How is that legal?.

After a three-year investigation — Chris Wray and the FBI DO NOT EVEN MENTION THIS in their Investigative findings.

The FBI DID NOT include one word in their conclusion on the numerous election workers double and triple feeding ballots through the voting machines late at night after the election observers were sent home!

The FBI omitted any mention of the most important evidence of a crime in their report!

It is clear from their actions that the FBI was in on the cover-up.

And now they got caught.

Page 9 of the FBI report
Page 10 of the FBI report

They don’t even mention that the ballots were fed through the machines numerous times!

They are lying by omission.

Throughout the 2020 election and its aftermath, it was obvious that Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray were not going to lift a finger to protect the integrity of US elections.

We saw it when Bill Barr shut down the USPS ballot scandal.
We saw it when the DOJ-FBi allowed GOP observers to be locked out of the counting rooms in the battleground states.
We saw it when Bill Barr mocked the presence of ballot mules dropping dozens of ballots in unguarded ballot drop boxes.
We saw it when there was no investigation of the mysterious late-night ballot drops.
We saw it when they ignored the curious drop-and-roll method used in the swing states.
We saw it when the battleground states all announced they were shutting down their counting for the night on election night for the first time in history.
And now we see it in this completely disingenuous report by the FBI on the State Farm Center ballot stuffing operation.

Bill Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray covered-up the most glaring evidence of election fraud in 2020 – the State Farm Center late-night ballot stuffing scandal. Wray and Barr published a dishonest report and lied to the American public.

This is just a partial list of Bill Barr and Chris Wray’s actions before, during and after the 2020 election.

Bill Barr played a major role in the scheme to remove President Trump by any means necessary.

Now he warns that another Biden term will destroy America.  

Thanks to you, Bill Barr.  Thanks to you!

Total Surrender: Johnson’s Ukraine Aid Package Allows Biden to Forgive 50% of “Loans” on November 15 and 100% of “Loans” to Ukraine Later On

(Official White House Photo by Adam Schultz)

In the last month, Republicans under Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership have given up a $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans, reauthorization for warrantless searches of Americans under FISA Section 702, and now this.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday that Joe Biden, the Democrats, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and the RINOs are colluding on an aid package for Ukraine, which may upset plans by some Republican lawmakers to remove Johnson from the Speaker’s chair.

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported that Johnson was negotiating with the Biden regime to introduce a substantial funding package for foreign conflicts and whip up opposition from the Democrats to a Motion to Vacate against him.

The $95 billion package provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, Gaza and other conflict zones around the world. “I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.

Biden Backs Mike Johnson’s Ukraine Aid Plan, Urges Democrats to Get on Board and Says he Will Sign Into Law “Immediately” – Rep. Thomas Massie: “Johnson’s Plan is Biden’s Plan”

This legislation includes a loan structure, which comes after Mike Johnson spoke at a press conference with President Trump at the Mar a Lago on April 12. The President expressed his desire to make the funding “in the form of a loan” and stop “handing out gifts.”

According to a source with knowledge about the press conference, Mike Johnson went to the Mar a Lago to speak with President Trump about a variety of issues critical to the GOP and to show unity within the party. Johnson originally hoped to cover support for his Ukraine aid package in the press conference, though after what appeared to be a lack of enthusiasm, the topic shifted to election integrity efforts. During the conference, a reporter asked Trump whether he would support a Ukrainian aid bill if the Speaker moved forward with it.

Trump responded to the reporter’s question:

Trump: We’re looking at it right now, and they’re talking about it, and we’re thinking about making it in the form of a loan instead of just a gift. We keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars, and we’ll take a look at it. But much more importantly to me is the fact that Europe has to step up, and they have to give money. They have to equalize it. They don’t equalize. I’m very upset about it because they’re affected much more than we are. The Ukraine situation would have never happened if I was president. It would have never, ever happened, and everybody says that, including Democrats. That it happened is such an outrage. Millions of people are dead right now—both sides, millions of people are dead. Cities are blown to ashes; you’ll never rebuild those cities and certainly not like they were, so beautiful. And this is something that should have never happened. October 7 should have never happened in Israel. It should have never happened. What happened there was outrageous. Iran was broke when I was president. People weren’t buying oil from Iran. They weren’t allowed to. If they were going to buy oil from Iran, then they weren’t going to do any business in the US. And I said it to China, I said it to everybody. They weren’t doing business. They were broke. They didn’t have money for Hamas. They didn’t have money for Hezbollah. It would have never happened. October 7 would have never happened; It did happen, and now it’s a disaster, and it’s only getting worse. So, it’s very sad.

Via Right Side Broadcasting Network:

However, the package Mike Johnson announced Wednesday includes terms that will allow the President to cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt after November 15, 2024 and the remaining 50% after January 1, 2024. It’s no wonder why Joe Biden came out “strongly” in support of the package, urging the House and Senate to pass it.

After President Trump wins the 2024 election, as expected, Joe Biden can cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt before his term is over in January. If Biden and the Democrats pull off another stolen election, they can forgive 100% of Ukraine’s debt a little over one year later.

From the text of H.R. 8035 – Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024:

Page 38 and 39: H.R. 8035 – Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024

More below:

(d) CANCELLATION OF INDEBTEDNESS.—

(1) The President may not before November 15, 2024 take any action related to the indebtedness of the Government of Ukraine that cancels any indebtedness incurred by Ukraine pursuant to this section.

(2) At any time after November 15, 2024, the President may, subject to congressional review provided by section 508, cancel up to 50 percent of the total indebtedness incurred by Ukraine or antici- pated to be incurred by Ukraine with respect to economic assistance and related expenses made available under the headings ‘‘Economic Support Fund’’ and ‘‘Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia’’ in title IV of this Act. Upon completion of the congressional review process set forth in section 508, such cancellation shall be final and irrevocable.

 (3) The President may, subject to congressional review provided by section 508, cancel any remaining indebtedness to the government of Ukraine under this section at any time after January 1, 2026. Upon completion of the congressional review process set forth in section 508, such cancellation shall be final and irrevocable.

In section 508 of the bill, which gives Congress the authority to review Ukraine loan forgiveness and pass a joint resolution in disapproval, Biden is also given the power to veto any resolution disapproving the action–if House RINOs even pass one. Congress can only delay loan forgiveness by the President for “5 calendar days after the veto message is received by the appropriate House of Congress.”

(A) the date that is 10 calendar days after the date of such submission; or

(B) the date on which Congress has considered and failed to pass a joint resolution of disapproval, as provided in this section.

(2) SUCCEEDING YEARS.—

(ii) the date on which Congress has failed to pass a joint resolution of disapproval, as provided in this section.

‘YOU BETTER HAVE A PLAN’: Dr. Phil Urges People to Prepare Their Resistance Against The Next Lockdowns

By: Ben Kew

Dr. Phil McGraw has urged people to plan their resistance against the next time the government attempts to lock down the civilian population.

Addressing the audience on his eponymous show, McGraw explained how he had been demonized for his stance against the tyrannical COVID lockdowns but has since been proven right.

Now, McGraw is urging people to prepare for the next time governments attempt to shut the schools and place an entire population under house arrest:

When I stepped up in the beginning and said this lockdown is going to create more problems with quality of life than COVID is going to do with taking lives — people looked at me like I was insane. I got criticized, called a heretic, they said ‘what is he talking about.’ I’ll tell you what I was talking about, I was talking about exactly what happened and is happening.

When you shut down the schools, the day you shut them down, you better have a plan for reopening them. I didn’t see a plan for them to be reopened. And we have an entire generation that is suffering from developmental gaps, educational gaps, mental and emotional challenges and still there’s not a good plan to close those gaps.

And my concern is when the next pandemic turns the corner, who’s got the plan then…we need to think about whether we’re going to rely on science and how we’re going to react when the government comes in and starts telling us what we can and can’t do. I think we need less government, I think if they would step back, we tend to have a way to work these things out.”

We can’t just move on and forget about the disaster of school closures. Otherwise it will happen again and innocent children will suffer even more. We need more people like Dr. Phil who push for accountability and put the needs of children first:

While he has not yet come out as a conservative or a Republican, McGraw has recently been talking sense on a variety of issues.

Among his criticisms have been the racist Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) agenda, transgender surgeries on vulnerable children, Joe Biden’s open border and the widespread support for Hamas across America’s universities.

AMERICA FIRST: Marjorie Taylor Greene Introduces Multiple Amendments to Speaker Johnson and Biden’s Ukraine Bill – Diverts Aid to Our Southern Border and 100% of Ukraine Funds to Support Americans Impacted by Disasters

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has introduced multiple amendments to Biden and Speaker Mike Johnson’s foreign aid package, which funds Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and other conflict zones around the world as our US Southern Border remains wide open and Biden’s Border Bloodbath rages on. 

The $95 billion package provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, Gaza and other conflict zones around the world. “I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.

Worse, as The Gateway Pundit reported, the package Johnson announced Wednesday includes terms that will allow the President to cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt after November 15, 2024 and the remaining 50% after January 1, 2024. It’s no wonder why Joe Biden came out “strongly” in support of the package, urging the House and Senate to pass it.

However, if Biden and the Democrats pull off another stolen election, they can forgive 100% of Ukraine’s debt a little over one year later. This isn’t a loan. It’s a handout.

One amendment proposed by Marjorie Taylor Greene to a funding bill that would provide $26.38 billion to Israel would divert some but not all funding toward the development of space laser technology to finally secure the US southern border. 

The amendment reads, “By the funds made available by this Act, such sums as necessary shall be used for the development of space laser technology on the southwest border.”

Israel has some of the best unmanned defense systems in the world. I’ve previously voted to fund space lasers for Israel’s defense. America needs to take our national security seriously and deserves the same type of defense for our border that Israel has and proudly uses,” said Greene in a post on X:

Another amendment would require members who vote for the Ukraine aid bill to enlist in the Ukrainian military and go fight the war themselves. The amendment reads, “Any Member of Congress who votes in favor of this Act shall be required to conscript in the Ukrainian military.”

Greene said on X, “I mean if you want to fund the war, why don’t you go fight in it. Show your support for Ukraine.”

Greene further introduced two amendments that would slash foreign aid, presumably to Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific, by 100% and dedicate those resources to helping Americans impacted by the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment and Hawaii wildfire disasters.

The Amendments read:

Each amount made available by this Act is hereby reduced by 100 percent, and such amounts shall be made available to the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assist the communities in and around East Palestine, Ohio.

Each amount made available by this Act is hereby reduced by 100 percent and such amounts shall be made available to the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the purposes of aiding the communities in and around Lahaina, Hawaii.

It can be recalled that Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a Motion to Vacate the Chair and remove Mike Johnson as Speaker of The House late last month after the House passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans. The vote – 286 to 134 – had 185 Democrats and 101 Republicans voting ‘yay.’ The bill was later passed by the Democrat-controlled Senate.

The bill, which passed last month before Congress went on recess, left our border wide open for Joe Biden and his dangerous illegal immigrants and continues 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.

In the last month alone, Republicans under Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership have given up the $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans, reauthorization for warrantless searches of Americans under FISA Section 702, and the disastrous foreign aid package introduced yesterday.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced in an X post on Monday, “I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by Rep. MTG. He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker.”

SUCH BS: Self Proclaimed “Wartime Speaker” Mike Johnson Says His Situation is “Comparable to The Civil War but Maybe Worse” (VIDEO)

Speaker of The House Mike Johnson on Tuesday told reporters, “I regard myself as a wartime speaker… in a literal sense,” as the embattled speaker faces pushback from his Republican colleagues for his leadership since taking over the House.

Who are we at war with?

As David Sacks, co-host of the All In podcast, said on X, “Mike Johnson proclaims that he is a ‘wartime speaker’ but what war is America in? America does not need to be in any wars unless fools in Washington make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.”

Johnson: Look, we are in unprecedented times, we are in dangerous times. This has been articulated here, around the world, and here at home. We need steady leadership, we need steady hands at the wheel. I regard myself as a wartime speaker, I mean, in a literal sense we are. I knew that when I took the gavel. I didn’t anticipate that this would be an easy path. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich posted a couple of days ago on his social media that this is the hardest challenge that has faced a speaker, probably in the history of the country, and the moment that we’re in right now, he said, arguably may be comparable to the Civil War but maybe worse.

This comes after a post by Newt Gingrich that seemingly got to Johnson’s head.

CENSORSHIP WAR: Musk vs. Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Spat Escalates – Socialist Lula’s Government Wants to ‘Regulate’ Social Media, Will Interrogate X’s Brazilian Legal Team

Remember X’s Musk versus Brazilian Justice Moraes? What began as a online skirmish has developed into a big international legal war with real geopolitical repercussions.

A flurry of activity is ongoing not only online, but ‘in real life’ too, both in the Brazilian executive and Judiciary.

So many things have happened, that this article merits a list of topics to begin with:

  • Brazilian Federal Police will question X’s Brazilian legal team.
  • Elon Musk investigated by Brazilian court.
  • President Lula meets with Justices to plan the moves ahead.
  • Justice Moraes goes to Brazilian Senate to defend social media ‘regulation’.

Brazilian press reveal that Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ‘authorized’ (that’s how they put it) the Federal Police to question social network X’s Brazilian legal team.

Moraes ‘granted a request’ made by the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Republic (PGR) to ridiculously include Elon Musk in the inquiry into ‘digital militias’.

It’s a measure of Justice Moraes unbridled power that he does the things he wants to do as if ‘provoked’ by other instances of government of the Republic.

And if you are wondering what the hell ‘digital militias’ even are, that’s just the ridiculous local Brazilian catch-phrase to criminalize free speech.

Lula and his goons need to silence ever-more-popular Jair Bolsonaro.

The leftist state apparatus didn’t like how well Conservative Brazilians connect and organize themselves online, so they are trying to find a way to better curtail that.

In the middle of this process, Musk has fallen down like a meteor fundamentally changing the equation.

Form Justice Moraes’ order:

“In order for the PGR to better evaluate the situation under investigation in [the inquiry into ‘digital militias’], the requested measures [questioning of X’s local team] must be granted, since they are in accordance with the investigation determined for the purpose of opening the Inquiry, which aims to investigate the conduct of Elon Musk, owner and CEO of the the social network provider X.”

While Moraes flexes his unelected tyrannical powers, the actual guy who was supposed to be President, Lula da Silva, is floundering in the polls with an unpopular and ineffective government.

Lula tries to fight back.

So Lula decided to attend a dinner at the home of Supreme Court ministers to ‘define strategies against the growing narrative of censorship on the Brazilian internet’.

Translation: he needs help to mask the rapidly worsening political environment.

Lula da Silva went to the home of Justice Gilmar Mendes in Brasília for a closed dinner with fellow justices Cristiano Zanin (Lula’s former personal criminal lawyer), Flávio Dino (Lula’s former Justice Minister), and – of course – his royal highness Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

More than a simple political gesture towards the Justices, Lula engaged in a discussion on ‘the new wave of attacks’ on the Court.

Justice Moraes.

They all agreed that the ‘institutional attacks on the Judiciary’ (a.k.a. free speech) haven’t cooled down since January 8, 2022, but – on the contrary – are currently gaining ever-increasing traction thanks to the international audience informed by billionaire Elon Musk.

So they are going all out in their objective to ‘regulate social media’ – a.k.a. censorship.

Next thing you know, Alexandre de Moraes made a rare visit to the Brazilian Senate to advocate online regulation.

While it’s a worrying development, it bears mentioning that Lula’s government usually doesn’t have the votes to approve any major bills.

Elon Musk, on X, commented on this visit: “Power to the people!”

By Matthew Casey/KJZZ

An unpublished op-ed by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer discovered through a public records request reveals that he believes the First Amendment is “the biggest threat to elections and Democracy,” Americans ‘ opinions are “disturbing,” and that “it may be time to revisit our First Amendment jurisprudence.”

The election official in Arizona’s largest county also refers to his constituents and Trump supporters who know that Joe Biden didn’t legitimately win 81 million votes as “gullible,” “crazies,” and “idiots.” He even suggests that suing citizens for defamation would be a remedy to his problems if it weren’t for the First Amendment.

Jack Butler, editor of The National Review, rejected the drafted op-ed, citing Richer’s attack on freedom of speech.

However, days earlier, Richer apparently gave a similarly written speech, ironically in commemoration of Constitution Day, to students of the Maricopa County Community College District, which was approved by the district beforehand.

In his drafted speech, Richer warns, “Despite what I’m going to say, I’m a huge fan of the Constitution” before remarking that “the Constitution today is in some ways a thorn in the side of my office. Specifically the First Amendment.” He also states, “It’s possible that our First Amendment jurisprudence needs to change,” even calling it a “religious problem.” In closing, Richer tells the college students, “If you have some time to spare to think about the problem of disinformation, I’d greatly appreciate it, and so too would all elections workers in the country.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on a similar op-ed published on CNN before The National Review rejected his more edgy and anti-American opinion piece. In his prior article, titled “What Happened to Trusting Experts?” Richer complained about the so-called conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election and the ongoing Arizona 2020 election audit while criticizing COVID-19 and vaccine skeptics as “Average Joes” who “somehow know better.”

This is the same Maricopa County official who sued Kari Lake with the backing of a Soros-funded nonprofit for speaking out and criticizing the stolen 2022 election, where she led by double digits in the polls until the intentional voter suppression that targeted Republicans on election day. But Richer, who helped oversee a sham election and is now trying to silence critics, claims that “the gravest threat to voting rights and our elected form of government is no longer the systemic disenfranchisement of a particular class of people, but instead the undermining of the entire election system through lies and disinformation.”

It should be remembered that Richer oversaw early voting in Lake’s stolen 2022 election for governor and founded and operated the Pro-Democracy Republicans dark money PAC aimed at eliminating candidates with a MAGA agenda. He is anything but an objective election official, and when catastrophes such as 60% of machines failing on election day and an estimated hundreds of thousands of early ballots being counted with no signature verification occurred in a race that Lake reportedly lost by less than 1%, it would seem reasonable for Lake to criticize and question the integrity of the officials who oversaw the election.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kari Lake recently pled no contest in the lawfare defamation case, which is backed by a Soros-linked Protect Democracy, so that she could focus on her campaign against Soros-funded Democrat Ruben Gallego. This is the same leftist organization that is currently engaged in lawfare to silence The Gateway Pundit for questioning elections. Though they haven’t admitted it publicly, they seemingly share the same views that the First Amendment is “a thorn in the side” and needs to be diluted.

Closer Look: Kari Lake Didn’t Admit to Defaming RINO Election Official Stephen Richer in Defamation Case, She Outmaneuvered the Soros Thugs: “My Words Are True, But How Did They Hurt You?” (VIDEO)

It was further revealed after the 2022 election that Stephen Richer’s office colluded with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to censor information they disagree with surrounding elections in Maricopa County, explicitly mentioning The Gateway Pundit’s reporting. Clearly, he hates the First Amendment.

As our readers recall, The Gateway Pundit successfully sued Maricopa County for unconstitutionally barring our correspondent, Jordan Conradson, from their press room, citing “a real or perceived conflict of interest” and claiming he is “not a bona fide correspondent of repute.

Still, they allowed the far-left fake news media into their press room. They didn’t want us in their press room before, during, and after the rigged 2022 election because we would have asked about the actual conflicts of interest:

  • Soros-funded former Secretary of State Katie Hobbs oversaw and certified her own election for governor.
  • RINO Recorder Stephen Richer ran an anti-MAGA PAC during the election.
  • RINO Chairman Bill Gates called for the “humiliation” of Trump-Endorsed candidates at the ballot box leading up to the general election.
  • Far-left Supervisor Steve Gallardo served as a co-chair of the Latinos for Katie Hobbs coalition and a member of Hobbs’ transition team.
  • Katie Hobbs threatened to sue or prosecute any county official who did not vote to certify her rigged election where 60% of machines failed Republican election day voters.

MARICOPA COUNTY FEATURING ELECTION OFFICIAL STEPHEN RICHER:
“THE FIRST AMENDMENT is the Biggest Threat to Democracy and Elections”

Many have seen the article by @azfreenews on Stephen using government resources to have staff compile news on his “personal” defamation lawsuit, but not everyone saw in the article that he tried to get published by @nro, but it was TOO EXTREME for even them

WHY WAS IT TOO EXTREME?

Let’s break it down, shall we!

Article: azfreenews.com/2024/03/marico…Image

In August of 2021, Jack Butler, the Submissions Editor at National Review, reached out to Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, asking if he would like to place another op-ed in @NRO

Stephen offered to write a piece making the case that the “Stop the Steal” movement is “anti-conservative”Image

But on Sept. 23rd, 2021, Recorder Stephen Richer presented a very different op-ed & copied one of his staff on the email

Stephen said, “Not the article I promised, but what do you think about this one” Image

Jack Butler from @NRO gave a reply that it was essentially too extreme for them

What made it so controversial?

Jack said Recorder Stephen Richer needed to “shed the bits about reconsidering First Amendment jurisprudence”

But he could keep the parts about the D *mini*n lawsuits “having their desired effect”

Oh my gosh! What desired effect is that? Oh boy, buckle up!Image

Recorder Stephen Richer opens up lamenting that his job has caused him to be disturbed by humanity

And that’s led to him having a new perspective on the First Amendment…. He references European laws as an alternative

You know, the ones where the Police arrest you for posting almost any opinion on social media that the government doesn’t approve of at any given moment

It should be noted that as I write this, there have been several posts of the FBI visiting people to “check in on their social media posts”Image

He then moves into fabricating a ridiculous fake example of an obviously fake statement saying that “gullible people” might believe this “fake” set of facts Image

He goes on to lament that the First Amendment is particularly “protective of political speech” and that seems to be a BIG problem for him when it comes to people talking about elections

In Recorder Stephen’s world of receiving a paycheck from your hard-earned tax dollars, YOUR OPINIONS AREN’T WELCOME!Image

Recorder Stephen continues by saying that “local crazies” — YES YOU — believe the “lies” about election operations

We should apparently just TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT as the MINISTRY OF TRUTH — how very Orwellian

He claims prominent politicians tell him in private that they believe elections are fineImage

He says the First Amendment means he “can’t touch these idiots” — especially for him as a public official

He suggests suing for DEFAMATION as a remedy — sound familiar Image

Recorder Stephen Richer goes on to complain about America First news @OANN and Telegram, calling his voters “IDIOTS”

What an election tagline — “YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING I SAY AND VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE I AM THE GOVERNMENT” Image

Recorder Stephen Richer says that the First Amendment is “the biggest threat to elections and democracy”

He claims the First Amendment is the cause of people “dropping out of elections” — Of course, people losing trust in elections has absolutely nothing to do with citizens just wanting the most secure and competent elections possible that FOLLOW THE LAW {note my sarcasm}Image

This is a theme we’ve seen recently at the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, where Supervisor Clint Hickman blamed peaceful citizens participating in public comment as the reason they face violent threats

I am a survivor of violence, and I find Hickman’s statements extremely offensive and, quite frankly anti-American

While violence should always be condemned, it’s massively irresponsible for a public official to falsely blame peaceful people for the actions of others that have absolutely nothing to do with them

We’ve heard such rhetoric from despots in the last century in Europe, and it didn’t end well

While I condemn such rhetoric too, Clint Hickman has a right to say such haphazard speech, seemingly looking to whip people up into a frenzy since it was getting close to the 11:30 MAG Region closing time

REMINDER: Elections are the First Amendment antidote to politicians we don’t like!!!!

PS. As a former government employee, I also experienced threats. There are a lot of unstable people out there, and everyone is their verbal punching bag, unfortunately. If only there was a large county that had a tremendous budget for mental health to help people resolve their demons

NOPE! Too busy distributing health services by race instead of need.

 

Recorder Stephen Richer closes his op-ed with the hope that the D* mini *n defamation lawsuit “resets” some of this First Amendment jurisprudence “landscape”

He goes on to suggest that whether or not the election tabulation systems provider wins their defamation lawsuits, it’s within the government’s best interest to limit First Amendment rights in AmericaImage

This is TERRIFYING STUFF!!!!

The man (Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer) who oversees one of the most essential functions of the First Amendment, OUR RIGHT TO VOTE, believes it’s the government’s role — in a way his job — to limit that fundamental human right of speech

The Founders must be rolling over in their graves!!!

Without free speech, the consent to govern does not exist! We quickly slip into tyranny!!

But IT GETS WORSE!!!!

A few days earlier in 2021, Recorder Stephen Richer sent his staff a version of the op-ed to use as a speech on CONSTITUTION DAY — a sacred day in the history of human rights

NOTE: He says he oversees the administration of elections, which is precisely the type of description he’s suing @karilake for defamation overImage

Maricopa County Recorder Steven Richer’s speech seems designed to trample on the Constitution, but he tries to give it a smiley diet-coke cover

He reminds us he’s broken the main promise he made to us — “Make the Recorder’s Office Boring Again”

Where do we get a refund for that one?Image

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer goes into the Constitutional history of voting rights before laying down the hammer and fully trampling on one of the most sacred documents in human rights history

THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS A THORN IN HIS SIDE

He says: “I posit that the gravest threat to voting rights and our elected form of government is no longer the systematic disenfranchisement of a particular class of people, but instead the undermining of the entire
election system through lies and disinformation.

And it is in this respect, that the Constitution today is in some ways a thorn in the side of my office. Specifically the First Amendment.”

(WHAT ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH)Image

Well, yeah, dude…. LITERALLY, THE POINT OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT WAS SO IT WOULD BE A THORN IN THE SIDE OF TYRANTS AND DESPOTS

He also complains of “C*VID” misinformation on the vaccine — This is where I get especially perturbed

My side note: I am still heartbroken that I lost the co-founder of and one of my closest friends earlier this year in part to a common lethal symptom of taking vaccines, who was forced to take the vaccine by Trudeau to see her newborn grandbaby

My dear friend was disabled, so in 2020, she took a scooter she adjusted for her needs and went door to door in triple-digit weather to get that “Make the Recorder’s Office Boring Again” man elected in support of the FIRST AMENDMENT and free, fair, and competent elections!

The 501c3 arm of our organization is currently suing Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and the County. My co-founder planned on being the main plaintiff because she saw it as the best recourse to get that man and his office to follow the law, giving us our best chance to fairly re-elect President Trump and save freedom! She wanted Stephen to know how she felt about his job performance.

Unfortunately, she died suddenly right before the lawsuit was supposed to be filed.

On the morning of her death, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting to review the Presidential Preference Election Plan. We couldn’t make it because I was attending to her family in ensuring her body was well looked after according to her wishes.

Reportedly, Clint Hickman complained we weren’t at the meeting. I would have spoken about this at the PPE certification meeting last week, but Chairman @jacksellers banned public commentEZAZ.orgImage

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer closes his speech by saying, “he doesn’t have a solution” to the problem of the pesky First Amendment —

He calls it a RELIGIOUS PROBLEM too — HAPPY EASTER FELLOW CHRISTIANS!

He says he’s “hesitant to disrupt something that has served this country well for so long”

Wow! A lot can change in two (& three) years!!!! Doesn’t seem so hesitant now.Image

BUT IT STILL GETS WORSE!!!

The response from his staff (presumably) wasn’t anything like Jack Butler’s — kindly saying it’s too extreme

NOPE!!!

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer’s staff is ALL-IN saying, “I love it” Image

This man, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, NOW has the hubris to ask the voters to re-hire him to finish what he’s started

This begs the question⬇⬇⬇⬇

If he’s using his government staff to assist in this effort of First Amendment jurisprudence, what exactly is happening in his office with your hard-earned money?

That’s a great question and I hope we get some answers on this!!!!

In the meantime, you can download the full speech and op-ed public record requests from Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer at

BY THE WAY

It’s definitely just a coincidence that my entire account was suspended yesterday while I have been working on government accountability in Maricopa County with a whole department run by a man who seeks First Amendment Jurisprudence while the Supreme Court is reviewing a case as to whether or not the government can coordinate with social media companies to suppress our speech and even access to the platforms

TOTAL COINCIDENCE!!!!!

Clueless Biden Administration Engaged Venezuela’s Socialist Dictator Maduro, Got Burned – Will Have To Reimpose the Trump Sanctions

The Joe Biden administration from Hell has a horrible track record with a number of mistakes that are simply unprecedented in number, scope, and gravity.

And its foreign policy is no exception. Everywhere we look, the US is engaging the wrong players for all the wrong reasons.

Take Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro, for instance.

A socialist dictator, charged by the U.S. Justice Department with ‘narco-terrorism,’ drug trafficking, money laundering, and corruption.

He conspired with a faction of the Colombian Farc rebel group to flood the United States with cocaine and use drugs as a weapon against American communities. As a result the U.S. government has offered a $15 million reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest.

Lovely fellow, right? Oh, and before I forget – the guy who is vowing to invade its neighbor Guyana and occupy TWO-THIRDS of their oil-rich territory.

So, of course, this is a political player that old Joe Biden chooses to engage for all the wrong reasons and lift some of the Donald Trump-imposed sanctions on the ‘fugitive’.

To no one’s surprise, Maduro did not fulfill his end of the agreed bargain, and now the moronic Biden administration says it will not renew a license – set to expire early on tomorrow (18) – that had considerably eased Venezuela’s oil sanctions.

The move to reimpose punitive measures is a response to Maduro’s failure in the election commitments that he never really meant to meet.

US Treasury Department has issued a replacement license allowing companies 45 days to ‘wind down’ their business and transactions in Venezuela’s oil and gas sector.

Reuters reported:

“Washington had repeatedly threatened in recent months to reinstate energy sanctions unless Maduro made good on his promises that led to partial U.S. sanctions relief from October, following an election deal reached between the government and the Venezuelan opposition.”

The sweeping sanctions imposed by the Trump administration in 2019 were a reaction to Maduro’s sham re-election.

“While Maduro has met some commitments under last year’s deal, he has failed to meet others, including allowing the opposition to run the candidate of its choice against him in the July 28 presidential election, senior U.S. officials said on Wednesday.”

The current six-month general license will expire without renewal just after midnight, according to State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller.

“‘We are concerned that Maduro and his representatives prevented the democratic opposition from registering the candidate of their choice, harassed and intimidated political opponents, and unjustly detained numerous political actors and members of civil society’, Miller said in a statement.”

Top U.S. concern about Venezuela’s electoral conditions is the crackdown on Maduro’s political opponents, especially the election ban on popular opposition candidate Maria Corina Machado.

In the Race to the White House, Illegals Will Be Casting Votes in the Crucial Swing State of Arizona

Image: Wikimedia Commons (Photo credit to the White House)

As it stands, liberal Arizona voting laws have paved the way for non-citizens, whether they are legal or not, to register for and cast a ballot in the 2024 presidential election.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to retired U.S. Air Force master sergeant Nick Kupper, who is one of several state legislature candidates vying for a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives’ District 25. While the voting laws do not affect his run for office, he is gravely concerned about the upcoming presidential race.

“In Arizona,” Kupper said, “even if the state can’t verify whether you’re a citizen, people can still assert that they are citizens.” While these individuals are not allowed to vote in Arizona elections, they can still vote in the federal election. “They can still vote for the president,” he explained.

In an April 16 post on X, Kupper pointed out that “In 2020 Biden got 73% of the federal only votes & Trump lost AZ by 10K votes. There are now over 32K federal only voters in AZ which would give Biden 15K more votes than Trump in 2024.”

 

In AZ you don’t have to be a citizen to vote for president. In 2020 Biden got 73% of the federal only votes & Trump lost AZ by 10K votes.

There are now over 32K federal only voters in AZ which would give Biden 15K more votes than Trump in 2024.

We need to follow… https://t.co/UBVkbgnlFu

“I think it’s pretty telling that the current president is allowing, enabling, and encouraging people to come across the border, as I’m sure he and his administration know that these kinds of rules are on the books in Arizona,” he said. “This has to change, because Arizona is a huge player in the federal election.”

In addition, Kupper said, “When censuses are being done, they’re not only counting the citizens of Arizona but also counting noncitizens and illegals.” He explained that anyone who lives in a home is included in the census. “This not only shapes voting districts in Arizona, but it can also count towards how many electoral votes can get apportioned to the state,” he pointed out. “And Democrat strongholds are the ones that tend to benefit the most from this.”

With that, Kupper said he considers any talk about illegal border crossings to be “multifaceted.” On the one hand, he recognizes a growing humanitarian concern for migrants who are risking their lives to “reach the land of opportunity.” Many are being exposed to dangerous cartels, smugglers, and traffickers in their quest to reach America.

And on the other hand, Kupper also recognizes there are thousands of bad actors and many deceived immigrants trying to do the same. These include drug smugglers, sex traffickers, terrorists, and more.

Whether they are legitimately seeking a new home or they are here for nefarious reasons, Kupper said, “Arizona has had enough illegal immigrants come across the border to equal eight percent of the state’s population.”

For Kupper, “this is an invasion.” He also pointed out that the Biden administration has done nothing to curb the massive flow of illegal immigration into the country. What’s more, many may be receiving flyers from a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Mexico, instructing them to vote for Joe Biden in the upcoming U.S. election. Meanwhile, other NGOs are providing the path to get here.

 

Here’s the translation of the last two sentences:

“Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States.

We need another four years of his mandate to stay.” https://t.co/rHNECRO5Un

— Nick Kupper (@kupper4arizona) April 16, 2024

“Encouraging them to come across the border to vote for Joe Biden isn’t all sunshine and roses,” he said. “It’s illegal in most circumstances, and many can’t find legitimate employment once they’re here, because they’re illegal,” he explained. “They’re being sold a bad bill of goods.”

And according to him, “Conservatives are getting the short end of the stick, [because] “Democrat policies are overtly hurting Republicans more than they are Democrats.” He explained, “statistically, people paying the most into the tax system for all the programs that enable illegal immigrants are Republicans.”

EXCLUSIVE: Trump-Endorsed Arizona Congressional Candidate Abe Hamadeh Releases 5 Point Election Integrity Plan

AZ Congressional Candidate Abe Hamadeh (left) AZ Senate Candidate Kari Lake (right)

Arizona Congressional Candidate Abe Hamadeh (AZ-08) laid out a comprehensive election integrity plan, exclusively to The Gateway Pundit, to ensure elections are free and fair and election fraudsters are punished when he is elected to U.S. Congress.

Hamadeh plans to introduce legislation to crack down on cheaters, illegal immigrants voting in local and federal elections, ranked-choice voting and private funds, such as Zuckerbucks, influencing elections.

Maricopa County, Arizona, which holds 60% of the state’s electorate and the fourth largest county in the Country, received $3 million in ‘Zuckerbucks’ from a Democrat non-profit before the stolen 2020 election. Still, roughly four years later, Nobody knows who accepted it or where it went.

Hamadeh told The Gateway Pundit in a statement, “I fully support election integrity efforts to ensure every vote counts and every voice is heard. A secure election is fundamental to our democracy and the very fabric our country was founded upon, and I am committed to upholding the integrity of our electoral process.”

“I firmly believe we must implement a unified standard of voting in order to achieve this. My comprehensive election integrity plan will achieve just that, and I look forward to proposing these policies on day one in Congress,” He continued.

As The Gateway Pundit readers recall, Abe Hamadeh’s race for Arizona Attorney General in 2022 was stolen by just 280 votes after 60% of voting machines in Maricopa County due to intentional voter suppression that targeted Republicans on election day. Additionally, thousands of ballots were not counted due to wrongfully canceled voter registrations and ballot misreads across the state of Arizona.

No serious person believes the 2022 election in Arizona was run fairly for statewide candidates.

President Trump has endorsed Abraham Hamadeh for Congress in Arizona’s 8th District, noting that Abe is “Strong on the Border, the Military/Vets, Crime, Cutting Taxes, Election Integrity, and Protecting our Great Second Amendment.” 

Like Trump, Hamadeh refused to surrender to the radical left and their stolen elections and fought his election lawsuit all the way through the corrupt Kangaroo Courts.

Abe’s five-point plan to secure elections nationwide is as follows:

Voter ID Requirement for Federal Elections: I will introduce legislation that requires states to adopt voter identification for federal races. If a citizen does not have a valid identification, they will not be allowed to vote. 

Federal Ban on Ranked Choice Voting: On day one in Congress, I will introduce legislation that imposes a federal ban on ranked choice voting for federal races. At its core, ranked choice voting is unconstitutional and should be banned at the federal level. Ranked choice voting takes away our country’s long history of a vigorous primary system, confuses voters, and makes it nearly impossible to conduct audits to ensure election integrity.

Withhold Federal Funding From Cities that Allow Non-Citizens to Vote: In Congress, I will advocate for withholding federal funding to cities that allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. Voting is a right that extends to all lawful citizens of the United States. Any individual who is in the United States illegally should not be allowed to vote in any local election. 

Strict Penalties for Election Fraud: In Congress, I will introduce legislation that imposes severe penalties for election fraud to deter individuals from engaging in fraudulent activities including making voter fraud a federal crime. Election fraud is a severe crime and any individual found guilty of violating election laws or undermining the integrity of the electoral process will be prosecuted accordingly. 

Ban Corporate and Non-Profit Funding: I will introduce legislation to prevent all private donations to help run elections. Americans should never have another “Zuckerbucks” interference in an election. Free and fair elections are the centerpiece of our country and there is no room for corporate meddling to tilt outcomes and further encourage widespread fraud. 

In addition, Congress should allocate funds for states to upgrade and secure their voting machines, including regular cybersecurity assessments and prohibit the use of internet-based voting systems due to security vulnerabilities.

This includes enhancing cybersecurity measures to protect voter databases, election systems, and infrastructure from foreign interference or hacking attempts. We must establish protocols for responding to cybersecurity threats and ensure transparency in reporting any breaches or attempts to undermine election integrity.

“It is time to restore confidence in our democracy and protect the fundamental right to vote as Americans. I will tirelessly fight for the integrity of our elections for generations to come when elected to Congress. This is my promise to not only Arizona but to all Americans,” Hamadeh concluded.

Elon Musk Blasts New NPR CEO for Her Hatred the US Constitution – After New Video Emerges of Her Trashing Free Speech Rights for Americans

NPR CEO Katherine Maher bashing Free Speech rights.

Elon Musk on Tuesday blasted radical NPR CEO Katherine Maher after video emerged of Maher trashing the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

After having secured 99% of the US legacy media, Democrats in America today are outraged that their lies and half-truths are challenged by the American public and independent voices. Today’s Democrat believes they should be the arbiters of truth despite their insane ideas and completely fraudulent statements on news and current issues.

Katherine Maher is no different.

Maher described her disgust for the First Amendment to the Atlantic Council in a recent interview.

Katherine Maher: “The “the number one challenge” here that we see is, of course, the First Amendment in the United States which is a fairly robust protection of rights and a protection of rights for platforms that I actually think is very important that platforms have those rights to actually regulate what content they want on their sites. But it also means that it’s a little bit tricky to really address some of the real challenges of where does that information come from and some of the influence peddlers who have made a real market economy around it.

The video was posted by journalist Chris Rufo.

EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Maher says the "the number one challenge" in her fight against disinformation is "the First Amendment in the United States," which makes it "a little bit tricky" to censor "bad information" and "the influence peddlers" who spread it.

911 Call Sevices Mysteriously Go Down in Four States at Same Time, Hours Before ABC Reported DHS Is Concerned Emergency Services Are Target for Cyber Attack

Several states lost access to 911 emergency call services late last night causing many residents not to have any access to emergency services.

Nebraska, South Dakota, Texas, and Nevada residents experienced emergency service outages from around 10 p.m. to midnight.

Authorities in Texas reported the outages were due to “an outage with a major cellular carrier” but did not elaborate on which carrier was responsible.

The outages were first reported in Las Vegas, which caused the Las Vegas Police Department to urge those needing emergency services to dial 911, and dispatchers would call them back.

Outages in Texas, Nevada, and Nebraska were only reported in several cities and towns, but South Dakota experienced a state-wide outage.

Potentially thousands of people who tried to dial 911 Wednesday night were left helpless as an outage across parts of four different states — including the entire state of South Dakota — impacted callers. https://t.co/4Z4zyT8pJl pic.twitter.com/ltrZDfmIjp

— ABC News (@ABC) April 18, 2024

Per CBS:

Multiple states lost access to emergency dispatchers late last night, meaning that residents could not call 911.

The issue affected parts of Nebraska, Texas and Nevada, and all of South Dakota. The outage was first reported around 10 p.m. local time. Service was restored around midnight, officials said.

In Texas, the City of Del Rio Police Department said the outage was because of “an outage with a major cellular carrier.” The department did not specify which cellular carrier was responsible.

Affected areas recommended that residents call non-emergency numbers amid the outage.

In Las Vegas, Nevada, officials said that 911 calls from landlines were not working, but that dispatchers could still see incoming calls. Dispatchers worked to call back numbers that dialed in, officials said on social media. According to Henderson County, Nevada officials, texts to the 911 number were coming through even when the phone line wasn’t working.

Hours before the 911 services were disrupted, ABC News released an article stating the Department of Homeland Security is concerned that emergency services are likely targets for cyberattacks.

365 Days Without a Murder: Why Liberals Hate El Salvador’s President

Credit: Wikimedia Commons

The man who transformed El Salvador from one of the most dangerous countries in the world to one of the safest, President Nayib Bukele, is despised by liberals.

When he won reelection in a landslide, liberal media outlets ran headlines stating that democracy had ended in El Salvador and that the country had become a one-party state. However, El Salvador is not Cuba.

Bukele did not eradicate opposition parties, nor did he imprison them or seize control of the press. Instead, he delivered on his promises. He made the country safe by locking up criminals.

President Bukele claimed that his country went 365 days without a murder. And while the exact number has been called into question, it is an indisputable fact that the country now has the lowest murder rate it has seen in 30 years, plummeting by 70%, and now stands at only 2.4 per 100,000 in 2023, making it the second lowest in the Americas, just behind Canada.

In 2022, after a gang war resulted in the deaths of 87 people over a period of just three days, Bukele took action against crime. He constructed the country’s largest prison, the Terrorism Confinement Center (Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo or CECOT), with a capacity for 40,000 gang members. And he began filling it.

Out of gratitude for restoring peace in the country, voters reelected him with 85% of the vote. Human rights groups, who live in safe, wealthy Western nations, have criticized Bukele for violations of the rights of suspects.

But the logic is flawless. Only gang members have gang tattoos. If anyone else gets a gang tattoo, they will be killed by the gang. The same is true for tattoo artists.

They would be killed for giving gang tattoos to non-gang members. Additionally, part of the initiation to joining a gang is to commit a serious crime, often murder. Once they become a member, their full-time job is to commit crimes. So, logically, anyone with a gang tattoo is a gang member and has committed crimes.

In the U.S., it is not a crime to be affiliated with an organization, even a criminal one. To secure a conviction, there would need to be proof that the person committed a specific crime.

However, that system, while acceptable for a high-trust society, was being exploited in El Salvador, where repeat offenders and murderers were being set free by crooked judges and jailers.

So, Bukele decided to let logic prevail, arrest the gang members, and put them in prison. He was more concerned about the rights of street vendors, business owners, school children, working people, and ordinary citizens than he was about the rights of violent criminals.

The state of emergency he declared in 2022, and has renewed several times since, suspends the constitutional rights of the gang members and bypasses the corrupt courts and justice system, which had allowed the criminals to reign for decades. Since then, 75,000 gang members have been arrested, and 7,000 have been released.

According to reported data from human rights groups, since 2022, there have been 78,000 arbitrary detentions. This is likely because they consider nearly all of the arrests to be arbitrary detentions.

The rights groups are also upset that “approximately 102,000 people are now deprived of their freedom in the country,” disregarding the fact that these people are criminals.

Additionally, they are upset that the prisons are overcrowded by 148%, which is absolutely true. The prisons are not pleasant, and a sane person would avoid going there by not committing crimes.

They also lost sleep over 235 deaths in state custody. There is no mention of how many of these deaths represented prisoners being killed by other prisoners, nor have they stopped to consider that five times that number of innocent people would have died during the same time period if these gang members were not in prison.

Rights groups have claimed that Bukele’s New Ideas party winning 58 of 60 seats in the country’s legislature has turned the country into a one-party state, with a “dangerous” concentration of power.

They are missing the point that the country had a fair election and the people were free to vote for the horrible system they had before, or law and order, which is now making their lives livable again. And they chose the latter.

According to Gabriela Santos, director of the Human Rights Institute at the University of Central America (IDHUCA), “Bukele’s popularity underlines how some Central American countries have struggled to launch sustainable democratic models.”

Again, there appears to be no flaw in El Salvador’s democracy. The critics just do not like the way the vote turned out. Santos went on to say that countries never recovered their democratic principles “in the aftermath of civil conflicts between left-wing guerrillas and U.S.-backed right-wing authoritarian regimes.”

There is no indication that the people voting for Bukele had any connection to the US or to right-wing regimes.

Liberals are claiming that there is a frightening move toward fascism in Latin America because 2 of 32 countries now have a president who is not a socialist. The other bright spot is President Javier Milei in Argentina, whom the liberals also hate.

He is cutting the government down to size, waging a war on debt and waste. He told school children that abortion is murder. He is pro-gun and is considering deploying the military to take on the gangs.

The shocking lesson we can all learn from El Salvador is that if you arrest all of the bad guys and keep them in jail, and if those who remain free are made to believe that crime has consequences and jails are horrible places, the streets become safer, and people can live their lives.

The other takeaway here is that if a president is tough on crime and wants to cut government spending and improve the lives of citizens, the liberals attack him.

It is also incredibly condescending that liberals in Europe or the US or elsewhere believe that 85% of Salvadorians do not know what is best for their country and voted for the wrong person.

JUST IN: Bragg’s Prosecutors Claim Trump Violated Gag Order ‘7 More Times’ Since Monday

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors on Thursday claimed Trump violated the court’s gag order ‘seven more times.’

Bragg’s office on Monday asked the court to impose a $1,000 sanction for each of the 3 prior Truth Social posts, order Trump to take them down, and warn him that further violations would result in jail time.

The DA’s office was referring to was related to a New York Post article bashing Michael Cohen as a “serial perjurer.”

On Thursday, prosecutors claimed Trump violated the gag order seven more times since Monday when he quoted Fox News host Jesse Watters.

Trump posted to Truth Social on Wednesday: “They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,” Jesse Watters

Prosecutors this week filed a motion to hold President Trump in contempt for ‘violating’ Judge Merchan’s gag order.

Judge Merchan scheduled a hearing on Bragg’s request to hold Trump in contempt for April 23.

The far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels trial trampled all over Trump’s First Amendment rights with a strict gag order.

Juan Merchan earlier this month expanded Trump’s gag order and barred the former president from criticizing his family members.

Ilhan Omar’s “Angry Black Girl” Daughter Isra Hirsi Suspended by Barnard College Over Pro-Hamas Occupation of Columbia University

Isra Hirsi, the 21-year-old self-styled communist daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) announced on X Twitter Thursday that she has been suspended by Columbia University in New York City for organizing a pro-Hamas occupation on campus grounds. Hirsi attends Barnard College, which is connected to Columbia.

Hirsi describes herself as an “angry black girl” with a communist hammer and sickle symbol on her X Twitter profile.

Hirsi posted, “i’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege i have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings. i just received notice that i am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide…those of us in Gaza Solidarity Encampment will not be intimidated. we will stand resolute until our demands are met. our demands include divestment from companies complicit in genocide, transparency of @Columbia’s investments and FULL amnesty for all students facing repression”

Columbia University Apartheid Divest announced the suspension of Hirsi and two other Barnard students in a defiant statement issued Thursday morning:

Mother and daughter, image via Instagram:

Omar posted her support of the protest on Wednesday, complete with revolutionary raised fist emoji, “Columbia has always had an incredible history of students fighting for a more just world and it’s good to see that tradition continue. As NYPD surrounds young activists, I hope their concerns are heard by school administrators and they not be criminalized. In solidarity ✊

https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1780663997361983668

The image Omar posted connected the occupation protest to a similar attempted campus takeover by radical leftist students in 1968. Hirsi stated in an interview Wednesday that was the case that was posted by the People’s Dispatch, “Isra Hirsi (@israhirsi), Barnard College junior and organizer with @ColumbiaBDS, is participating in an indefinite occupation of Columbia’s campus in solidarity with Gaza. Organizers have remained defiant under repression and pledge to stay until Columbia divests from Israel.” (Hirsi was wearing a COVID mask even though she was outside.)

JUST IN: Another Republican Rep. Announces Retirement! Kansas Rep. Jake LaTurner Won’t Seek Reelection

Another one!

GOP Rep. Jake LaTurner (KS) won’t seek reelection in November. He was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2020.

“After much prayer and consideration, I have decided not to run for reelection to the House this fall,” the 36-year-old said on Thursday.

“With gratitude in my heart for the people of Kansas, my staff, friends, and family, and most importantly, a loving God, who has blessed me beyond measure, I look forward to serving the remainder of my term and look to the future with confidence,” he said.

“It has become fashionable for some to fear for the future of this country and act as though the problems we face and the divisions that exist are insurmountable, but that is just not true. Undoubtedly, the current dysfunction on Capitol Hill is distressing, but it almost always has been; we just didn’t see most of it. I remain optimistic about the future of this country, not only because we have overcome more significant obstacles in the past, but that the vast majority of people I have served with are good and trying to do the right thing,” Jake LaTurner said.

According to Axios, more Republican lawmakers are expected to announce retirements in the next few weeks.

More than 22 House Republicans have announced they will not seek reelection in 2024.

Last month RINO Representative Mike Gallagher (WI) announced he would exit the House in mid-April.

Following the resignation of Mike Gallagher, Kevin McCarthy, Bill Johnson, Ken Buck and the ousting of George Santos, the Republicans are left with a one-seat majority!

RINO Mike Gallagher Announces He is Flexible to Pass Deep State’s Ukraine Aid Package and Will Stay Until Saturday – Biden Admin Awards Him With Highest Honor Civilian Can Receive From U.S. Navy

RINO Rep. Mike Gallagher’s betrayal of Republican voters will continue, as the soon-to-resign Congressman from Wisconsin announced he will stay in the Swamp until Saturday to support the Biden-endorsed foreign aid package.

The $95 billion package provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, “Gaza and other conflict zones around the world.” “I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.

Worse, as The Gateway Pundit reported, the package Johnson announced Wednesday includes terms that will allow the President to cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt after November 15, 2024 and the remaining 50% after January 1, 2024. It’s no wonder why Joe Biden came out “strongly” in support of the package, urging the House and Senate to pass it.

Total Surrender: Johnson’s Ukraine Aid Package Allows Biden to Forgive 50% of “Loans” on November 15 and 100% of “Loans” to Ukraine Later On

After President Trump wins the 2024 election, as expected, Joe Biden can cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt before his term ends in January. However, if Biden and the Democrats pull off another stolen election, they can forgive 100% of Ukraine’s debt a little over one year later. This isn’t a loan. It’s a handout.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced multiple amendments to the Swamp’s foreign aid package to cut 100% of funding to Ukraine to provide aid to Americans impacted by the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment and Hawaii wildfire disasters, but only some of the Israel aid to secure our southern border. Another amendment would require members who vote for the Ukraine aid bill to enlist in the Ukrainian military and go fight the war themselves. Still, it’s clearly not likely the RINO-Democrat Swamp will pass any of these.

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.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, if Gallagher had 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 Gallagher’s decision to leave shortly after RINO Ken Buck of Colorado 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.

— Emerald Robinson ✝ (@EmeraldRobinson) March 23, 2024

This is how the Uniparty works.

They do everything they can to screw with their voters.

It can be recalled that Gallagher voted with the RINOs against the Mayorkas impeachment and for the $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans, as well as reauthorization for warrantless searches of Americans under FISA Section 702. Now, he is staying through the weekend to vote for the Uniparty’s foreign aid bill.

By next week, Republicans in the House will have bent over and let the Democrats ram the massive spending bill, FISA 702 reauthorization, and the disastrous foreign aid bill through.

Per Politico:

Speaker Mike Johnson may get a much-needed boost for his foreign aid plans as departing Rep. Mike Gallagher has flexibility to remain in town into Saturday to support the package, according to his office.

“The congressman has the flexibility to stay and support the aid package on Saturday,” a spokesperson told POLITICO. The Wisconsin Republican previously announced his intent to resign his seat Friday, which would further slash Johnson’s majority to a one-seat margin.

Even more despicable, shortly after making this announcement, Gallagher was awarded the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award, “the highest honor for which civilians not employed by the Department of the Navy can receive,” according to the United States Navy.

Today, the Secretary of the Navy presented Rep. Gallagher with the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award, the highest honorary award that the U.S. Navy can bestow upon a civilian not employed by the Navy. pic.twitter.com/uG1ArZBAQK

First on MRC: Soros-Funded Groups Created Google Anti-Israel Demonstration

First on MRC Business: A vicious anti-Israel group that occupied Google until their arrests was created by two organizations that Soros poured massive amounts of money into.  No Tech for Apartheid, a tech worker campaign that frequently accuses Israel of “genocide,” occupied the Sunnyvale, California-based office of Google Cloud’s CEO for the crime of doing business with Israelis. No Tech for Apartheid refers to itself as a project of the anti-Israel groups Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and MPower Change. Strikingly, Soros’ Open Society Foundations’ gave at least $525,000 to JVP between 2017 and 2022, while also giving $350,000 to JVP Action, an affiliated 501(c)(4) “sister organization” of JVP. Soros gave at least $2,205,555 to MPower Change from its founding in 2016 to 2022.  In response to the protests demanding that Google cancel a $1.22 billion contract with the Israeli government, the tech giant fired 28 of the participants. The footage of the protests and the arrests has gone viral on social media. No Tech for Apartheid posted an absurd thread on X, referring to Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian as “genocide profiteers.” BREAKING: Google employees were arrested after occupying their boss's office for more than 8 hours to demand that the company sever ties with Israel. WATCH: pic.twitter.com/W4WQO8NNgH — Kassy Akiva (@KassyDillon) April 17, 2024 No Tech for Apartheid does not list any staffers. However, MPower Change does claim No Tech for Apartheid as one of their “campaigns” on their website. Anti-Israel radical Granate Kim, a former employee of JVP, is MPower Change’s current Campaign Director.  Radical anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour is the executive director and co-founder of MPower Change. Sarsour is famous for her radical hatred of Israel. According to the Committee For Accuracy in Middle East Reporting, Sarsour strongly opposes the existence of Israel. Sarsour is a supporter of the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement to impoverish, isolate and destroy Israel, the homeland of the Jewish People. Both Sarsour and MPower Change promote a radical anti-law enforcement agenda and viciously smear both American law enforcement and Israel as collaborating oppressive forces.  MPower Change Action demonstrated this agenda not only by supporting “defunding” and “abolishing” the police but by endorsing two Soros-funded radical leftist prosecutors for reelection in 2023: Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano and Arlington County Commonwealth’s Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti.  The other organization involved in No Tech for Apartheid’s creation, JVP, is also a vicious opponent of Israel. This was evident on JVP’s frequently asked questions page, where the organization makes several disturbing statements. For example, JVP not only refers to Israel’s efforts to end Hamas terrorism and rescue the hostages as a “genocide,” but also argues that Hamas attacks are justified so long as they have military targets: “An occupied people have a right to resist, including the use of force. But the targeting of civilians is not permitted.”  JVP also refers to itself as “anti-Zionist.” JVP admits that they initially avoided this label as it "closed off conversation in the Jewish community," before ultimately caving to “Palestinian partners.” While admitting that they are in a “struggle against Zionism,” JVP defines the term to make clear what they are fighting against: “Zionism is a form of Jewish nationalism, and is the primary ideology that drove the establishment of Israel.” In other words, Soros is funding a group opposed to the existence of Israel.  This organization also unequivocally supports the BDS movement, not just for Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, but for all of Israel. JVP compares their fight to demonize Israel to the American Civil Rights movement and the fight against the slave trade. Furthermore, JVP backs a Palestinian “right of return” that would threaten Israel’s existence as a Jewish State. Every one of these awful details can be found on their FAQ page.  Soros has a long track record of funding radical anti-Israel groups like MPower Change and JVP. After last year’s brutal terrorist attack on Israel, MRC President Brent Bozell and MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider called Soros out for giving $550,000 to Pro-Hamas groups between 2017 and 2022 alone.  Conservatives are under attack! Contact ABC News (818) 460-7477, CBS News (212) 975-3247 and NBC News (212) 664-6192 and demand they report on Soros’ comments and funding of anti-Israel causes.

JUST IN: GET MOVING EUROPE! – President Trump Releases Statement in Opposition to Johnson/Biden Ukraine Funding Bill, Calls on Europe to “Match The Money Put in By The United States of America”

President Trump released a statement this afternoon on the massive amount of aid that the United States is providing to Ukraine as Europe does next to nothing, and Congress announces a new $95 billion foreign aid package.

Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation!” said Trump in a scathing Truth Social post.

Speaker Mike Johnson, the self-proclaimed “wartime speaker,” announced on Wednesday that he is proceeding with his intention to introduce a series of foreign aid bills for discussion, including provisions for funding Ukraine.

The $95 billion package provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, “Gaza and other conflict zones around the world.” “I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.

It’s been reported, yet to be confirmed, that details of Speaker Johnson’s foreign aid strategy have been leaked. The alleged specifics are as follows:

$95.34 billion, roughly 60% of which goes directly into the DIB:

Ukraine – $48.43 billion

  • $19.85 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD
  • $14.8 billion for DOD ops in EUCOME AOR

  • $1.2 billion for Iron Beam
  • $4 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD
  • $3.5 billion in FMS for Israel to purchase US weapons
  • $800 million for ammunition plant improvements

Red Sea Operations – $2.4 billion

President Trump released a statement admonishing Europe for footing the bill and telling them to “GET MOVING.”

Trump: Why isn’t Europe giving more money to help Ukraine? Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation! Why can’t Europe equalize or match the money put in by the United States of America in order to help a Country in desperate need?

As everyone agrees, Ukrainian Survival and Strength should be much more important to Europe than to us, but it is also important to us! GET MOVING EUROPE! In addition, I am the only one who speaks for “ME” and, while it is a total mess caused by Crooked Joe Biden and the Incompetent Democrats, if I were President, this War would have never started!

President Trump aired similar sentiments in a press conference with Speaker Johnson last week, noting that “we keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars” and calling on Europe to give money to equalize America’s aid contributions. Trump also stated that he wanted to see Mike Johnson and Republicans in Congress attach loan terms to the aid we’re providing.

Via Right Side Broadcasting Network:

However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, the “loan” structure in the package Mike Johnson announced Wednesday includes FULL LOAN FORGIVENESS!

And still no southern border security… These people care more about protecting Ukrainians than they do Americans.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Thursday that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) issued a stern warning to former President Donald Trump regarding his continued support for Speaker Mike Johnson, saying, “If Trump supports this monstrous, unpaid-for foreign aid debt buster, he will lose the very supporters who comprise his vanguard. Mark my words.”

In a pivotal turn, Senator Rand Paul has openly supported Congressman Thomas Massie’s call for Speaker Johnson’s resignation. “Thomas Massie’s doing the right thing. I think the Republicans need real leadership… I think we need someone who has some courage and some intestinal fortitude,” Sen. Paul said.

Rep. Matt Gaetz(R-FL) also said, “There is no other way to describe it, it is surrender, it is disappointing. I won’t support it.”

Boebert also joined in on X, commenting, “President Trump is right. We need his strength to regain peace! I oppose this insulting, America Last bill as well!”

President Trump is right.

We need his strength to regain peace!

This is Biden’s last day in Pennsylvania this week before he returns to the White House.

After a gaffe-filled speech to a paltry crowd in deep blue Philly, Biden made a trip to Wawa.

Every moment of Biden’s visit to Wawa was highly choreographed and scripted.

Biden struggled with a takeout box. He gave up and told his handler he was going to go order a milkshake.

“You take that box. I’m gonna go order a milkshake,” Biden said.

GAME ON! Former MI Senator Files Perjury Criminal Complaint Against Dominion Voting Machines CEO

Former MI Senator Patrick Colbeck is one of the smartest and kindest individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. When speaking with Patrick, it’s easy to see why so many people in Michigan and across the nation respect and trust him. Having been involved in politics for over 15 years, I’ve met a lot of people who puff out their chests and talk about what needs to be done to save our elections from being corrupted by people with bad intentions—Patrick Colbeck isn’t one of those people.  He doesn’t boast about his tireless efforts to protect our elections; instead, Patrick humbly puts his head down and goes to work, assessing potential vulnerabilities in our elections and identifying ways to correct them.  Unfortunately, because Patrick Colbeck dared to question the integrity of the voting machines in 2020, which most Americans have trusted since they were first used in Michigan elections, he has become the target of Democrats and their allies in the leftist media. Patrick is also the author of “The 2020 Coup—What Happened and What We Can Do.”

Yesterday, Senator Patrick Colbeck held a press conference outside of the MI State Capitol flanked by six of the bravest lawmakers in the state, where he announced the filing of criminal complaints against Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos.

The complaint, filed by Patrick Colbeck, alleges Mr. Poulos committed 15 counts of perjury during his testimony before the MI Senate Oversight Committee on December 15, 2020.

The complaints were filed with Michigan’s Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel, MI Secretary of the Senate Jocelyn Benson, and the MI State Police. Michigan State Representatives Jim DeSana, Steve Carra, Neil Friske, Josh Schriver, Matt Maddock, and Joe Fox, all members of the MI House Freedom Caucus, supported Patrick as he made the announcement.

Watch:

You can read the full complaint HERE.

In his press release, Patrick Colbeck announces 15 COUNTS OF PERJURY that were FILED IN CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS CEO.

Colbeck continues, “Michigan legislators and concerned citizens have brought forth allegations against John Poulos, CEO of Dominion Voting Systems, relating to his testimony under oath on December 15, 2020, before the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee. Mr. Poulos faces 15 counts of perjury based on these allegations. The testimony in question was referenced extensively in the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee’s June 2021 Report on The November 2020 Election in Michigan. The forthcoming evidence challenges the accuracy of Mr. Poulos’s statements and, by extension, questions the findings of the Senate report, which stated there was no evidence of widespread or systemic fraud in the 2020 election in Michigan.”

“The implications of the alleged misinformation are significant, potentially affecting the perceived integrity of Michigan’s electoral process and the legal repercussions faced by individuals as a result of the contested testimony. A formal complaint, accompanied by supporting evidence, is scheduled to be filed with the Michigan Secretary of the Senate, the Michigan Attorney General, and the Michigan State Police. The complaint aims to address the alleged deliberate nature of the false testimony and seeks to uphold the principles of justice,” Patrick Colbeck claims.

On February 14, The Gateway Pundit wrote about a BOMBSHELL RECORDING that captured MI Prosecutor Peter Lucido accusing  Dominion Voting Machines President John Poulos of perjuring himself under oath when asked about Dominion Machine’s access to the internet.

On December 15, 2020, the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems, John Poulos, testified before the MI Senate Oversight Committee in a hearing where he was asked about the Dominion Voting machines used in Michigan in the November 2020 election.

The Chair of the Senate Oversight Committee, MI Senator Ed McBroom, was first to speak with Mr. Poulos and immediately asked if the Dominion Voting Machines were connected to the internet. In his response, Mr. Poulos explained that the voting machine is “designed” to be connected to the tabulator. Senator McBroom asked if, for some reason, “the locals were to have that computer connected to the world wide web and also networked to the tabulator, is there something in the software that would it shut things down at that point—would it continue to operate? What is the security protocol at that point?” Mr. Poulos appeared to point to the “locals” as the responsible parties for determining if the machines were indeed connected to the internet. “First and foremost,” he began, “the complete security that is under the control of the local authorities is paramount.” If this is indeed true, it would appear that he’s saying it’s up to the election officials in each polling place to ensure the security of the voting machines. The response by the Dominion Voting Machines president begs the question—What if, hypothetically, of course, there were “locals” like the hostile workers at the TCF Center in 2020 who, based on their actions on the day after the 2020 election, had a strong interest in Joe Biden coming from behind to win the election in 2020? And what if there were individuals overseeing the elections who were not interested in protecting the security of the machines?

Watch:

Then-MI Senator Pete Lucido (R) asked Mr. Poulos, “How do I know, as a voter, Mr. Poulos, that I didn’t have any irregularity of the software being manipulated? How can I be sure of that?” The Dominion CEO responded by saying a “hand count audit and recount” would resolve any questions about the integrity of the machines.

MI Senator Pete Lucido (R) began his questioning of Mr. Poulos by asking if Dominion has any way to access any of the equipment on their machines remotely. The Dominion president responded by saying, “No.” Senator Lucido pressed the Dominion president, asking about the purpose of the USB port on the machines. Mr. Poulos asked for clarification about the type of machine Senator Lucido was referring to. When Senator Lucido clarified that he was speaking about the touchscreen voting machines, the Dominion president responded by saying, “Yes, there is,” adding that the touchscreen voting machines “are just an expensive fancy pen.” Mr. Poulos clarified that the “electronic pen” does not tabulate votes.

Only two weeks ago, during an elections security trial in a federal courthouse in Georgia, computer scientist and University of Michigan professor Alex Halderman revealed shocking election machine security vulnerabilities when he demonstrated how easily a voting machine could be tampered with. Using everyday items, which included a Bic pen and a $10 smart card.

All he needed was a pen to reach a button inside the touchscreen, a fake $10 voter card he had programmed, or a $100 USB device that he plugged into a cord connected to a printer, rewriting the touchscreen’s code.

Professor Halderman’s stunning real-time example of how easily voting machines can be manipulated raised questions about the reliability of Dominion’s voting equipment that has been used in Georgia’s elections.

In another exchange on December 15, 2020, during the MI Senate Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. MacDonald asked Dominion President Poulos, “Is it possible for a record value either locally or remotely? Mr. Poulos responded, “No, to my knowledge, it’s not.” He explained, “Even if it were, they certainly wouldn’t be able to do it undetected.” He added that “It would leave a trail” and that “several checks and balances within the machine could detect whether or not such a thing happened. Mr. Poulos concluded his response with, “Which, of course, I don’t think it can.” You don’t think it can? How is this an acceptable answer?

When asked by Senator MacDonald if it’s possible that votes could be manipulated by inserting a USB drive into the Dominion tabulators? Mr. Poulos responded, “No, I don’t think so,” adding, “Even if it was, it would be detected.” Detected by whom, and what, exactly did Mr. Poulos mean when he said he didn’t think so? Unfortunately, Mr. Poulos wasn’t pressed on his vague response and asked to guarantee it couldn’t happen.

In early December 2023, Attorney Michael J Smith called Macomb Prosecutor Peter Lucido’s office to request a meeting with his office because his client, Michael Lewis Butz, was making a perjury criminal complaint to Macomb County Sheriff Wickersham.

On December 9, 2023, Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido contacted Michael J. Smith via phone. When Smith didn’t answer, Mr. Lucido left the following message:

Mike—Pete Lucido. I got your message.

When I was in the Senate, on the Oversight Committee, we did Dominion. It was published and recorded, and it should be online.

The president of Dominion testified, and so did his engineer or software maker, and the questions were centered around whether or not there was access to the internet on these machines that Dominion made. He said no, and it was a lie!”

THE DAM HAS BROKEN: PROSECUTOR ACCUSES DOMINION CEO OF LYING

Listen to this leaked audio of 46 seconds. Explanation below.

https://t.co/A0OYLfX2af

— Patrick Byrne (@PatrickByrne) February 10, 2024

The January 5, 2024, complaint to Sheriff Wickersham can be seen below.

In his complaint to the Macomb County Sheriff, Michael Butz explained how, in his opinion, MI SOS Jocelyn Benson’s office and the Bureau of Elections under the direction of Jonathan Brater (who is also the chair of ERIC that is under contract with the state of MI to “clean up” Michigan’s dirty voter rolls), “obstruct and prevent the township and city clerks from performing their lawful duty to transparently conduct elections through the use of complicated electronic voting systems and unlawful election policies and directives.” 

In addition to demanding full transparency in Michigan’s elections, Smith wrote:

Truthful testimony from election software and equipment vendors is critical for Michigan township and city clerks, county clerks, senators and other public officials to identify potential election system problems and implement appropriate solutions to mitigate risks to election integrity.

Mr. Butz demanded an investigation into the crime of perjury related to Mr. Poulos’s testimony while he was under oath.

“I have reviewed the Senate testimony of Mr. Poulos and have concluded that he failed to provide accurate and transparent information to Senators- Poulos committed perjury! No one, not even the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems Inc., should be above the law, and I am asking that your office take immediate action to enforce the law, investigate the perjury statements, and charge Mr. Poulos with perjury,” Mr. Butz wrote.

On page 2 of Mr. Butz’s letter to Sheriff Wickersham, he shared an example of how important it is for law enforcement to understand the significance of Mr. Poulos’s testimony.

He wrote, “Dominion was forced to disclose in Williamson, TN, that its source code was defective and the Dominion voting systems did not accurately tally the votes.”

Mr. Poulos testified under oath in front of the Senate Oversight Committee in Lansing, MI, which is located in Ingham County, and former Senator Pete Lucido is now the prosecutor in Macomb County, making it impossible for Mr. Lucido since the alleged perjury took place outside of his district. Additionally, Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido could be considered a witness. The request for an investigation into alleged perjury by Dominion President John Poulos was, therefore, sent to Lansing Chief of Police Ellery Sosebee for investigation.

In his letter to the City of Lansing Police Chief Ellery Sosebee, Mr. Butz stated that he was asking for the Lansing Police Department to assign a criminal complaint number to his request for an investigation. He explained that he initially filed the complaint in Macomb County but was told he needed to file the criminal complaint in the proper jurisdiction. Mr. Butz also explained that because he was involved in litigation against SOS Jocelyn Benson and AG Dana Nessel in another matter, he believes it would be a conflict of interest for the Lansing Police Department to turn the case over to MI AG Nessel’s office.

 

Does Mr. Butz have a case against Mr. Poulos? Was the Dominion Voting Machines president telling the truth in his testimony to the MI State Senate Oversight Committee?

So, was the testimony of Mr. Poulos on December 15, 2020, accurate? According to the message Macomb Prosecutor Pete Lucido left for Mr. Butz, he certainly doesn’t believe Mr Poulos was telling the truth while testifying under oath. Is Mr. Butz correct? Should there be an investigation into the vulnerability of all voting machines before the critical 2024 election in Michigan and in every state where they will be used?

Attorney Stefanie Lambert has sent a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan asking for the House Judiciary Committee to “immediately subpoena John Poulos, Eric Coomer (formerly employed by Dominion), and former Senator Pete Lucido to testify in front of his committee. In her letter, Lambert cites the criminal complaint filed by her client, Michael Butz, that has not yet been acknowledged by the Lansing Police Chief. In her letter, Lambert states that Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido is willing to testify that Dominion CEO John Poulos lied under oath on December 15, 2020.

Less than one month after the Dominion president’s December 15, 2020, testimony, a scathing report based on expert testimony and reported by NBC News revealed how vulnerable our elections are as long as modems installed in voting machines are allowed to connect to the internet, even briefly – According to a team of 10 independent cybersecurity experts who specialize in voting systems and elections. While the voting machines themselves are not designed to be online, the larger voting systems in many states end up there, putting the voting process at risk.

That team of election security experts says that last summer, they discovered some systems are, in fact, online.

“We found over 35 [voting systems] had been left online, and we’re still continuing to find more,” Kevin Skoglund, a senior technical advisor at the election security advocacy group National Election Defense Coalition, told NBC News.

The three largest voting manufacturing companies — Election Systems &Software, Dominion Voting Systems, and Hart InterCivic — have acknowledged they all put modems in some of their tabulators and scanners. The reason? So that unofficial election results can more quickly be relayed to the public. Those modems connect to cell phone networks, which, in turn, are connected to the internet.

The largest manufacturer of voting machines, ES&S, told NBC News their systems are protected by firewalls and are not on the “public internet.” But both Skoglund and Andrew Appel, a Princeton computer science professor and expert on elections, said such firewalls can and have been breached.

Kevin Skoglund, senior technical advisor at the National Election Defense Coalition, showed NBC three election systems were still online even after officials had been told they were vulnerable.

For election systems to be online, even momentarily, presents a serious problem, according to Appel.

“Once a hacker starts talking to the voting machine through the modem, the hacker cannot just change these unofficial election results; they can hack the software in the voting machine and make it cheat in future elections,” he said.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, which provides cybersecurity frameworks for state and local governments and other organizations, recommends that voting systems should not have wireless network connections.

Patrick Colbeck has over 20 years of engineering and management experience in the private sector working on cutting-edge programs such as the International Space Station and virtual reality training systems for the Department of Defense.

Polish Citizen Arrested For Alleged Plot to Assassinate Ukraine’s Zelensky

The world is getting more dangerous by the day, there is no doubt about it. But what is also skyrocketing is the alarmism against Russian infiltration, sabotage, and even assassination plots.

While there is no denying that Russians do infiltrate every country they can, friend or foe, and I would not put it past them (or anyone else) to engage in sabotage or assassinations, the uptick happening now makes no sense.

The Russian Federation’s forces are about to win the war, so why would they suddenly engage in asymmetric tactics at this point?

At this point, simultaneous accusations are being made in Poland, Germany, and other nations.

In Poland, for example, a citizen was arrested for allegedly spying for the Russian government. So far, so normal.

But the top prosecutors in Poland and Ukraine are saying the man was part of a potential assassination attempt against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

That sounds like a bit of a stretch: after all, we remember how Putin has promised not to kill Zelensky at a meeting with then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett – a meeting which took place in the early days of the war.

“After receiving the promise, Bennet called Zelensky on his way to the airport from the Kremlin and said that he was not in danger of death.

 ‘Are you sure?’ Zelensky asked. ‘One hundred percent’, Bennett replied.”

There are any number of ways to engage in decapitation strikes to take out the Ukrainian leadership – so this unlikely plot ‘uncovered’ may well be manufactured.

The Polish citizen, identified as Pawel K., was charged with ‘readiness to act for foreign intelligence against the Republic of Poland’.

ABC News reported:

“The suspect allegedly ‘proactively established contact’ with Russian military command representatives and ‘informed them of his readiness to cooperate’ with the Russian Federation’s foreign military intelligence agency, according to Andriy Kostin, the Ukrainian prosecutor general.

The suspect’s alleged tasks for the Russian government included collecting and providing the agency with information on the security of the Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport, an international airport in Jasionka in southeastern Poland, Polish and Ukrainian officials said.

‘This was to help Russian special services plan a possible assassination attempt on the Ukrainian President during his presence in Poland’, Kostin said in a statement on X.”

The Ukraine prosecutors tipped their Polish counterpart about the suspect, and also obtained the ‘key evidence’ of the investigation.

The suspect is facing up to eight years in prison if convicted.

“‘This case underscores the persistent threat Russia poses not only to Ukraine and Ukrainians but to the entire free world’, Kostin said. ‘The Kremlin’s criminal regime is constantly trying to undermine European and global security. It organizes and carries out sabotage operations on the territory of other sovereign states’.”

FBI WARNING: Chinese Hackers Preparing to Launch Massive Attack on U.S. Infrastructure – Have Already Infiltrated Several Critical Companies

Credit: Decode 39

Chinese hackers are preparing to launch a major attack on critical U.S. infrastructure and have already infiltrated multiple companies according to the FBI.

FBI Director Chris Wray revealed today China is developing the capability to cause significant damage to our critical infrastructure at a time of their choosing. The only question is the time to launch a catastrophic blow.

“China is developing the ability to physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a time of its choosing,” Wray said at the 2024 Vanderbilt Summit on Modern Conflict and Emerging Threats. “Its plan is to land low blows against civilian infrastructure to try to induce panic.”

According to Wray, an ongoing Chinese hacking campaign known as Volt Typhoon has successfully infiltrated several American companies in telecommunications, energy, water, and other critical sectors. 23 pipeline operators are being targeted.

According to Reuters, Wray went on to note that China’s hackers operated a series of botnets, which are constellations of compromised personal computers and servers around the globe to hide their nefarious cyber actions. Private sector American technology and cybersecurity companies previously attributed Volt Typhoon to China, including reports by security researchers with Microsoft and Google.

Reuters reports that a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson claimed the Volt Typhoon was unrelated to China’s government but is a criminal ransomware group.

China’s Embassy in Washington released the following statement in response to the MFA spokesperson’s comment.

Some in the US have been using origin-tracing of cyberattacks as a tool to hit and frame China, claiming the US to be the victim while it’s the other way around, and politicizing cybersecurity issues.

Some would argue that the operation may already be underway. Early this morning, there was a widespread outage involving 911 emergency numbers in four states: Nebraska, South Dakota, Nevada, and Texas.

Moreover, investigative journalist Lara Logan revealed that reliable intelligence sources have told her the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland last month was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on US critical infrastructure.

From Logan:

Multiple intel sources: The Baltimore bridge collapse was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on US critical infrastructure – most likely cyber – & our intel agencies know it. In information warfare terms, they just divided the US along the Mason-Dixon line, exactly like the Civil War.

The second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material is now down for 4-5 years – which is how long they say it will take to recover. Bridge was built specifically to move hazardous material – fuel, diesel, propane gas, nitrogen, highly flammable materials, chemicals, and oversized cargo that cannot fit in the tunnels – that supply chain now crippled.

Make no mistake: this was an extraordinary attack in terms of planning, timing & execution.

While the FBI may have identified a major national crisis afoot, they may also be a day late and a dollar short. Moreover, one should have little confidence the agency will be able to thwart such a significant attack from a hostile foreign adversary.

NEW: Judge Cannon Rejects Motions by Trump Co-Defendants to Get Charges Dismissed in Classified Docs Case


Carlos De Oliveira (L), Trump, Walt Nauta (R)

Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday denied motions filed by Trump co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira to dismiss the indictments against them.

Carlos De Oliveira and Walt Nauta were indicted in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case along with President Trump.

Walt Nauta is a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago.

According to the federal indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, Nauta was charged along with Trump in counts 32, 33, 43, 35, and 36.

The charges include conspiracy, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation and scheme to conceal.

Walt Nauta was also charged alone in count 38: False statements and misrepresentations.

Jack Smith charged Carlos De Oliveira, a maintenance worker who helped Trump aide Walt Nauta move boxes of documents around at Mar-a-Lago. He was added to the obstruction conspiracy charges filed in the original charges.

Judge Cannon on Thursday rejected Carlos De Oliveira’s argument that he was unaware of the subpoenas issued for the classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago. De Oliveira argued that he didn’t know that there were classified documents in the boxes.

“The arguments in Defendant De Oliveira’s Motion do not warrant dismissal of the obstruction offenses charged against him. As grounds for dismissal of those counts (Counts 33, 40, and 41), De Oliveira identifies various topics and/or allegations that are not contained in the Superseding Indictment – namely, specific allegations about his knowledge of classified documents or the contents of “the boxes” more generally, or about his knowledge of an “official proceeding” under 18 U.S.C. § 1512. De Oliveira also argues, again in support of dismissal, that the allegations in the Indictment do not show that he was capable of acting with the required “corrupt” criminal intent to support the alleged obstruction offenses. These characterizations are not grounds to dismiss the obstruction counts against De Oliveira,” Cannon wrote in the 8-page ruling reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

The Judge also rejected Walt Nauta’s motion to dismiss the charges against him on the argument that they are unconstitutionally vague.

“Defendant Nauta also moves to dismiss the charged obstruction counts—Counts 33, 34, 35, 40, and 41 — as unconstitutionally vague as applied to him and for failure to state a claim. Nauta’s principal submission is that the term “corruptly” as used in the charged § 1512 counts, see 18 U.S.C. § 1512(b)(2)(A), (b)(2)(B), (c)(1), is subject to multiple, still-developing, and contested judicial constructions of the term such that it fails to give ordinary people fair notice of the conduct it punishes and invites arbitrary enforcement,” Cannon wrote.

Cannon continued, “This “multiple-meanings vagueness” contention is worthy of serious consideration, but it does not lead this Court to conclude that dismissal of the obstruction counts is warranted.”

President Trump also filed several motions to dismiss the charges against him. Judge Cannon has not ruled on all of Trump’s motions.

Leftist Climate Protesters Thrown Off Stage in a Heap While Disrupting Event Honoring Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Video)

Activists with the leftist group Climate Defiance were thrown off the stage in a tumbled heap while disrupting an event honoring Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. There are no reports of arrests or injuries.

Murkowski was being honored by the Bryce Harlow Foundation at an event held at the Marriott Marquis hotel in downtown D.C. near the convention center. Bryce Harlow was a Republican presidential advisor, Congressional staffer and lobbyist.

Video posted by Climate Defiance shows several activists holding a banner being bull-rushed in a tumble off the stage by security and what appears to be organizers. A woman in a black dress who seems to be Murkowski moves away from the mob to a far corner of the small stage.

The video was posted with this commentary, “BREAKING: We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron’s top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us.”

https://twitter.com/ClimateDefiance/status/1780981172442415450

The group posted childish, hysterical statements explaining why it protested Murkowski:

Murkowski played a lead role in persuading Biden to approve the Willow Project. This monstrosity will transport 200,000 barrels of oil every single day. This is hideous. This is cruel and barbaric beyond description. (3/5)

— Climate Defiance (@ClimateDefiance) April 18, 2024

Murkowski claims to support climate legislation, but refused to step in and pass Build Back Better as Joe Manchin held the bill hostage for months. How does this woman sleep at night? How does she live with herself? Is there no limit to her depravity? Is there no limit?

— Climate Defiance (@ClimateDefiance) April 18, 2024

Climate Defiance is very aggressive in their protests as video the group posted of a protest last month of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) shows:

TV Host Benny Johnson Robbed at Oakland In-N-Out While Shooting on Restaurant’s Closure Due to Rampant Crimes

Credit: Alx/X

Conservative political commentator and YouTuber Benny Johnson and his crew were the victims of theft in the very place they were spotlighting for a documentary on California’s rising crime rates.

The incident occurred on Wednesday as the team was working on a piece about the closure of an In-N-Out Burger location due to rampant robberies.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Oakland, California, is losing their only In-N-Out Burger restaurant due to the city’s ongoing crime problem. The restaurant is profitable, but they can’t deal with the constant armed robberies, car break-ins, and more.

Crime in Oakland has been on the rise for months on end. The city has a Soros-backed DA, Pamela Price, who is currently facing a recall effort.

Johnson’s project aimed to shed light on the alarming trend of rising crime rates in California and their toll on local businesses, including the famed In-N-Out Burger.

Ironically, as Johnson and his team were documenting these very issues, they themselves fell prey to the crime they sought to expose.

“I Just Got ROBBED At In-N-Out Burger,” Johnson lamented on X.

The robbery unfolded in broad daylight, around 2 p.m., catching the crew off-guard. According to Johnson’s producer, ALX, who was in the vehicle at the time, an assailant smashed the car window in an attempt to snatch a bag.

“I was in the car when it happened, the rest of the team was probably about 20 feet away. A car pulled up, someone jumped out, smashed the window and tried to take a bag, I had to rip it from his hands and told him to “f*ck off.” Oakland is a third world country,” Alx wrote.

Royce Chamberlin, who worked as Director of Photograph, revealed it was his belongings that were nearly stolen.

“It was my bag that was nearly stolen! Luckily Alx was there to pry it from the hands of the thief. Almost this exact thing happened last time I was in the area! This is a fallen place…” Chamberlin wrote.

A massive explosion was reported near Isfahan, Iran today. Isfahan is considered to be the primary location of the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

Explosions were also reported in Syria and Iraq on Friday morning.

The Iranian media is reporting three major explosions in Isfahan.

UPDATE: Via ABC News – Iranian state television says nuclear facilities near Isfahan ‘fully safe’ after air defense batteries fired in area.

Now this — A Biden administration official blamed Israel for the attack. Why would the Biden regime do that?

CNN reported:

Israel has carried out a strike inside Iran, a US official tells CNN, in a move that threatens to push the region deeper into conflict.

The target is not nuclear, the official said.

Prior to the Israeli strike Friday (local time), the US expectation was that they would not target civilian or nuclear facilities, another senior US official told CNN.

CNN has previously reported that Israel told the US its response would be limited in scope. US intelligence had suggested Israel was weighing a narrow and limited strike inside Iran because they feel like they have to respond with a kinetic action of some kind given the unprecedented scale of the Iranian attack

100 Days to Chaos: Citizens of Paris Dread the Upcoming Summer Olympic Games

After Globalist poster boy, French President Emmanuel Macron spent years on end trying to solve all the problems of this world but the ones facing his Republic, he now has a steep price to pay, as the Olympic Games arrive in less than 100 days – and most Parisians are dreading it.

You may think that’s an exaggeration, and feel like there’s little to fear from Olympics Games held in ‘romantic’ Paris – but that lovely city basically only exists in our hearts and memories. Look at how is life now in the metropolis:

How the holidays go: Emmanuel Macron and France Celebrate ‘Only’ 745 Vehicles Torched on New Year’s Eve

Security: One Dead, Two Injured in Paris Terror Attack – Islamist Was Shouting “Allahu Akbar” During Attack Near Eiffel Tower

Health Issues: Bloodsuckers: Paris Is Infested With Bedbugs – Authorities Seek to Control Situation Ahead of Next Year’s Summer Olympics

Policing: In the Midst of His Constant War Mongering, France’s Macron Asks Allied Countries for 2 THOUSAND OFFICERS to Help Police the Summer Olympic Games in Paris

Riots: While Macron Warmongers, France Is Still a Chaos, as 50 People Attack Police Station in Olympic Venue Area of Paris (VIDEO)

Hate crimes: Antisemitism on the Rise: Mirrored Attacks in Zurich and Paris Put Swiss and French Authorities on Alert, Leave Jewish Community on Edge

Social unrest: WATCH: Angry French Farmers Invade Paris Agricultural Fair, Clash With Police, Chant for Macron To Resign

So as the 100 day mark fly us by, the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics make many locals grumble that ‘it will mostly be an inconvenience’.

Maybe if Macron was not so worried to lecturing Brazil about how to protect its forest ort Russia how to protect its National Security, he could have taken care of business at home – which he did not.

Sur enough, there is a well-earned stereotype of ‘the grumpy French’. And also, there is the fact that months of building and road renovations for the Games have clogged traffic. But it’s not just that.

Reuters reported:

“A poll last month showed only over a third of French felt enthusiastic about the global sporting event that will start on July 26.

And with the countdown switching to 100 days, many in Paris said they would leave the city, if they could, or work from home, staying away from the sporting events.

‘Am I excited about the Games? No, sorry, I know it’s not the right response but I’m not. I’m not excited at all’, said 57-year-old consulting director Carole Gabriel-Jullien, who lives in the suburbs and plans to work from home during the Olympics.

‘I’m very worried’, she said. ‘When we see how messy daily life already is in Paris, with all these additional people coming for the Olympics, it will be hell’.”

The Olympics’ organizers say to the four winds that they are confident the mood in Paris and beyond will improve as the Games near.

But the security risks are not ‘worrying in vain’, since the threat of terrorist attacks have led the French government to raise its security alert to its highest level.

“Francois Urbain, a 29-year-old office manager, said he will also leave the French capital. ‘I don’t think the city of Paris will be ready’ to handle the Olympics, he said.”

Even the more optimistic say that it will all go well – as long as the unions don’t go on strike.

We will be moving this News Brief to the main domain in the near future, so you will find this at anonymousconservative.com, instead of anonymousconservative.com/blog I have a lot going on right now, and it will take time to make sure it goes right, so not right away. I will try to redirect people from /blog to there, but if that doesn’t work, just go to the main domain.

I am grateful for all the help from experts here on the beam. If there is one thing I would hope, it is that my biggest fuckups, and the fact I am not deterred by them would inspire everyone. I generally suck at everything I do when I start. This pursuit of The Beam will be similar, but after doing it for a year, I expect we will have something special here, even if all of our initial surmises end up being wrong at times. That is really all there is to life, just keep trying until you aren’t failing.

I got decent dBms off some signals in the TinySA Ultra as seen in the video below, which has a -44dBm signal at the start, and a -33dBm at the end (I had to switch the meters to get USB cords in them so the batteries would not run out, and they could go 24/7 ):

I was still not happy with it though, as I would like to have seen the EMF-390 spike up to 34419 mw/m2 and peg out as those spikes hit, but there was almost nothing. It felt like the real culprit was escaping, and might continue to. But the EMF-390 was picking it up enough to peg out. Maybe it could detect the spike and the TinySA could not.

I decided to put the EMF-390 in spectrum analyzer mode, and came up with this video:

If you blinked, you missed it:

I think, unless I am mistaken, that is a -16 dBm signal, and they are all throughout there. There was a 436mhz pulse at -11dBm, and that mountain of signal you see at the start of the video, which dropped in the picture above to allow the pulse to show, is constantly dropping, super fast, about half that distance for just a flash, like the meter is beginning to feel a pulse, or is measuring the beginning or very end of a pulse, but it is not lasting long enough to be registered as a peak with numbers.

I do not know enough yet to know what all this means. I am beginning to wonder if the best way to understand this might be to try a replicate this with our own emitters, and try to recreate the weapon, and test al these peaks, to see what these pulses do at these amplitudes. If I felt electricity with one or a combination, then we would know we have the culprits.

For now, I will do what I always have done when I don’t know my ass from a hole in the ground, and that is keep toying around with all this stuff until I get it. But I thought it was interesting, and maybe somebody here would see something interesting to contribute. I’ll post more when I have more.

 

Some were bantering about commenter “God” being in the comments. I would advise friends to not care about other people, but to view everyone, even people they hate, as opportunities to learn. Because there can always be more than we see going on.

I’ve wanted to write this for a bit, since it might be significant, and here is as good a place as any to put it. There has long been something off with my brain. I do not care about things others care about, and it makes their caring jump out at me as strange. I do not mind, since as a result I notice things about their caring which others, immersed in similar caring, will not pick up on.

People here can insult me, and I feel nothing, even if they genuinely hate me and lash out trying to piss me off. I have seen other posters actually care about that, and get upset, and while I appreciate their caring for my honor, I hate to see them bothered. Especially when it doesn’t bother me.

I think I may know when this all began.

One of the puzzles here is why am I still here. I am exposing more, and think it must be clear I am more dangerous to their little conspiracy, than many they have killed. If I was them, I’d probably have killed me, and while most of them are helpless, I am sure they have somebody they could turn to and try to hire. I am probably kind of dangerous, according to my file, in that my not caring means I would kill anybody who posed a threat, without a second thought, and relish making a mess of it all. But they can also poison and beam, and I am not getting that at the lethal level either. Or at least efforts I have gotten have been half hearted and telegraphed, and maybe just threats.

I have wondered if that is because I was some kind of experiment, and they want the data enough to endure the risks.

My Freshman year of high school was all adrenaline and emotion. There were bullies and fights then sent in, and I enjoyed it. I burned with hatred, and purged my rage, it was great. But the bullies stopped several weeks in, when I was clearly enjoying them, rather than dreading school, and I never got in another fight. Nobody so much as tried to piss me off. I assume now the majority of those kids only did all that due to orders.

Sophomore year was strange though. I became oddly robotic. Emotions disappeared, entirely, the world went gray, nothing enthused me, and I just sort of put one foot in front of the other for a year and did everything as it was presented, without feeling or care. The emotional rollercoaster which made me feel so alive the year before was gone. It could have been the fact there were no fights to be had, no enemies to hate, but it felt like much, much more. I thought at the time maybe I encountered a virus or something which altered my brain, but never did anything else. A year later, I was still more or less a machine, but it worked well for me, until I really got sick and my body fell apart for no clear reason just two weeks before the SAT. I now see that as similar to what The Beam does here and suspect I was getting some technical harassment as a form of slowing me down.

It never dawned on me there were any other players involved in my life, or that they might be able to alter brain structures at a distance, or that they might even try. My neighbors back then were them, too, so they had the residential access to me at night. That year was so weird, I now look back, and wonder if maybe I became some sort of experiment, for the brain beaming ting. Maybe today I continue on, because they want some kind of data off me as a long-term subject. It makes as much sense as any of the rest of this.

Since then, I learned that I can guarantee you, they can apply some kind of point disruption to organ structures inside the head from a considerable distance, which I assume involves a disruption over 1,100 fps at the contact point, given the fact I heard sound from the drumming of it in my head when I moved my head and got the spot by the ear drum. I assume it is designed to alter brain function of specific structures by ablating the surrounding tissue is a slow, gradual fashion.

As a result, there is no guarantee I will not be claiming to be God and Q-anon at the same time, and talking about growing up with Mohammed Ali before this is over now, due to that.

There was a poster in the comments here who I can no longer approve, and it both worries me, and breaks my heart, and I am not even sure which it should be. He showed up like ten years ago, and knew a lot about surveillance tech and surveillance. He was very savvy and sharp. I thought he was in it, or had just gotten out, and was trying to help me as best he could. I appreciated it.

Over the years, his posts got disjointed, and now they are totally detached from reality and incomprehensible. I have no idea if they killed him and are posting that stuff under his name as a psyop, or if they wrecked his inferior temporal gyrus with beaming, and I watched the decline over a few years. If the later, he will certainly end up broke, homeless, and probably institutionalized, through no fault of his own. And he tried to help me.

So I do not judge anybody, or let emotions affect me when dealing with the people here, both due to my weirdness and what I have seen. If somebody is domestic intel, then it is just business to fuck around here, and not personal. They probably do not even believe in what they are saying, And if they are not domestic intel, it could even be they have been beamed and are “off” through no fault of their own. We are all slaves to this organ in our head, and sadly, there are ways to fuck it up, and like it or not, we are all targets now.

I could end up the same way, so probably best to study it now. You never know if that might prove useful later to hack whatever is done to you, and try to work around it in your head.

In the end, we have one enemy we absolutely must destroy, and nobody on a web board can stop you. Focus on the threat, expose the surveillance first and foremost, and don’t worry about who is who here. Learn to find them all interesting, and learn what you can from them. If they are psyops, all the better. You are getting the enemy’s techniques straight from the horse’s mouth. And if not, then they are on our team, and we will need everyone at some point.

Illinois RINOs Part 3: Weaponizing Law Enforcement

Guest post by Paul Drabik

Terry Newsome and Paul Drabik of Behind Enemy Lines have been fighting back in Illinois.  The Gateway Pundit has been following their stories including reporting on illegal immigrants, Joe Biden, and Mike Lindell.

Throughout their fight against radical leftists Newsome and Drabik have encountered a glaring opposition. Surprisingly, it has not come from the left but the right. 

As discussed in Part 1 and Part 2, the RINO betrayal in Illinois runs deep and starts at the top with figures like the Chairman of the Illinois GOP, Don Tracy. Tracy once ran for Illinois State Senate as a Democrat.

Tracy’s family business, Dot Foods, also donated to both Joe Biden and the DNC. There’s also State Senate Minority Leader John Curran. Curran famously advocated and voted for Amendment 1.

This amendment cemented Illinois State Constitutional powers for public unions effectively making them a fourth branch of government and Illinois a Communist state

These leaders are an immense danger to the party and the public who they purport to represent. However, more dangerous are the local level leaders. In a Republic such as ours it is the direct conduits to the public such as County Sheriffs or local Republican leaders who can have the greatest impact on policy. 

In part 2 we saw that the exposure of RINOs donating to Democrats – in a clear pay for play scheme – will get you censored and canceled.

Newsome and Drabik certainly did call out the RINOs in Illinois when they found out that some donated to radical Soros funded prosecutor Kim Foxx. On their podcast, Newsome & Drabik displayed a Nazi meme of the Republican who censored them for criticism of the party.

Soon enough Newsome and Drabik would find that there were no depths to which the RINOs would not sink. Local Republican leadership had supported Sheriff James Mendrick of DuPage County in a previous race.

When Newsome and Drabik became a nuisance for the party the Sheriff was brought in to provide a level of intimidation. The Sheriff engaged both Drabik and Newsome via email and phone conversation.

The Sheriff threatened Newsome through proxy about the rhetoric he’d been using on his podcast. Newsome sent out an email to colleagues as a warning that he was fearful that he would be targeted by law enforcement on Sunday, November 5th.

Coincidently or not, the Illinois State Police showed up on Newsome’s doorstep on Tuesday, November 7th. Their inquiry revolved around comments made by Newsome’s criticism of State Senate Minority Leader John Curran. 

This was not enough to deter Newsome and Drabik however. They went on to discuss these events on their podcast showing these details and expressing concern that the Sheriff was potentially engaging in weaponization of his office for political purposes.

The attacks from the RINO establishment did not stop there. As Behind Enemy Lines and the grassroots movement grew their following, the establishment took measures to discredit Newsome because of a criminal background of 35 years ago.

Prior to a Republican organization meeting they disseminated a packet exposing Newsome’s record but also listing his family’s names and addresses.

The finishing touch was to add sex offenders registered in Newsome’s neighborhood so as to imply that he had some sort of connection with them. It should be noted that Newsome’s criminal background was related to drug and weapons possession.

Subsequently, Newsome approached the private business owner of the venue where this doxxing attack had occurred. That business provided security camera images showing certain Republican leadership had to have been aware of the doxxing attack.

Shockingly, you will see in the video below that the Sheriff admits to being tasked by a political operative to approach a business owner about sharing information with a private citizen.

The Sheriff then seemingly brags about intimidating a private business owner into not sharing information with another private citizen ever again, and training their staff in this manner.

WATCH:

Mendrick has been touted in years past for being responsible for a low recidivism rate amongst inmates of DuPage County. He has been a proponent for second chances. That is, unless you become a political rival to the Sheriff. Below you can see how he speaks to a concerned citizen labeling Terry Newsome as a “drug dealer,” and to “…leave me alone.”

Provided to The Gateway Pundit

Denigrating someone for their past seems petty if you are in support of second chances. The real hypocrisy is that Sheriff Mendrick had accepted upwards of $100k from a convicted sex offender. ABC news covered the story in 2018.

Apparently, the Sheriff’s sympathy for offenders is only available to those who donate to his political campaign.

We reached out to the Sheriff for comment on the matter and it appears he is suggesting we are violating an Illinois criminal code – 720 ILCS 5 Article 26.5: Harassing and Obscene Communications – by seeking his comment in a news story.

Provided to The Gateway Pundit

After a final attempt to let the Sheriff know we were seeking comment for a media story, he repeated the screenshot of the Illinois Criminal code. It’s not entirely clear what was meant by this. The implication of course is that we are harassing him in accordance with this particular Illinois criminal code. Certainly, a journalist reaching out to a public official for comment is covered under the first amendment.

The pressure on the local Republican Party by Behind Enemy Lines and the grassroots movement has pushed the party and Sheriff Mendrick to go full authoritarian.

Mendrick has since become the vice chair of his local organization who lost 40% of their participation since instituting censorship. The Sheriff has intimidated multiple committeemen in the organization, including Drabik, suggesting there are police reports filed for things they’ve said in public.

The danger of people like Sheriff James Mendrick cannot be overstated. Intimidating private businesses and people for exercising their first amendment rights can be expected from the left.

While the Democrats in America have essentially become Communists, it is the people on the right like Sheriff Mendrick who pose the greater threat. They are helping the Democrats by silencing the true opposition to Communism in America: THE PEOPLE.

Kraken’ Lawyer Sidney Powell Completely Vindicated After Democrat Judges Dismiss Disciplinary Effort by State Bar of Texas

Credit: Defending The Republic

Dallas attorney Sidney Powell, known for her vigorous legal efforts to challenge the fraudulent 2020 election on behalf of President Donald Trump, has been fully vindicated by an appellate court decision.

The Fifth District of Texas Court of Appeals in Dallas, led by a three-judge panel, all Democrats, concluded that the State Bar of Texas’ arguments were without merit.

“The Dallas Court of Appeals has affirmed the Texas state court’s dismissal of the Texas Bar’s case against Powell. After three years of litigation, the Court of Appeals held the Bar had no evidence Powell violated any disciplinary rule in filing four federal lawsuits in the aftermath of the 2020 election,” Sidney Powell’s Defending the Republic said in a statement.

The State Bar of Texas Commission for Lawyer Discipline had filed a complaint against Powell, accusing her of violating several Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.

These allegations stemmed from lawsuits Powell filed in late November 2020.

Powell became the center of media attention in November 2020 for filing multiple lawsuits challenging the certification of election results in critical battleground states, famously vowing to “release the Kraken” in her crusade to expose the election fraud.

The State Bar of Texas later contended that Powell’s lawsuits were ‘frivolous,’ based on ‘unfounded claims’ of widespread election fraud. Moreover, they alleged that Powell knowingly attached “altered” evidence to her legal filings.

However, Powell refuted these allegations, arguing that the documents were provided by other counsel involved in the case and that any discrepancies were not a result of her direct actions.

Powell argued that any discrepancies were inadvertent, attributing the errors to oversight under pressure. Her defense argued that these were honest mistakes made in the rush of massive legal filings.

The appellate court meticulously reviewed the claims, evidence, and procedural history of the case. In particular, it scrutinized the Commission for Lawyer Discipline’s handling and presentation of evidence in its summary judgment response.

The court noted discrepancies and deficiencies in the Commission’s submissions, including mislabeled exhibits and a lack of specific citations to evidence purported to support their claims.

Upon evaluation, the appellate court found no merit in the Commission’s argument that Powell knowingly filed frivolous lawsuits or made false statements related to the election litigation.

It pointed out the absence of evidence proving that Powell had actual knowledge of the falsity of any statements made in her filings. Moreover, the court determined that the Commission failed to meet its burden of proof regarding the alleged disciplinary rule violations involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.

Justice Dennise Garcia, writing for the court, emphasized the importance of presenting clear and specific evidence to support claims in disciplinary proceedings.

“The Bar employed a ‘scattershot’ approach to the case, which left this court and the trial court ‘with the task of sorting through the argument to determine what issue ha[d] actually been raised,’” Justice Garcia wrote for the unanimous panel. “Having done so, the absence of competent summary judgment compels our conclusion that the Bar failed to meet its summary judgment burden.”

While Wednesday’s ruling represents a vindication for Powell in this matter, the battle is not over.

Pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty in the Georgia RICO case against Trump in exchange for reduced charges. Dominion Voting has filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against Sidney Powell, who has been fighting tooth and nail against election fraud.

UPDATE: Israel Not Clear Why Pentagon Leaked Info to Media on Isfahan Attack – Embarrassing Iran – Potentially Escalating Conflict

As reported earlier – A massive explosion was reported near Isfahan, Iran today. Isfahan is considered to be the primary location of the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

The Iranian media reported three major explosions in Isfahan on Friday morning.

This was not the first time the Isfahan nuclear facility was targeted.

IRANIAN MEDIA: 3 HUGE EXPLOSIONS WERE HEARD IN ISFAHAN, SOUTH OF TEHRAN

JERUSALEM POST: SIMULTANEOUS EXPLOSIONS REPORTED IN IRAN, SYRIA, AND IRAQ ACCORDING TO INITIAL REPORTS

The Isfahan nuclear site in Iran.

UPDATE: Via ABC News – Iranian state television says nuclear facilities near Isfahan ‘fully safe’ after air defense batteries fired in area.

By Friday morning the Iranian regime was pushing their own narrative that the attack was a failure and everything was back to normal.

BREAKING: IRAN BROADCASTER SHOW ISFAHAN IS NOT IMPACTED

"The city is in complete calm and security, people are going on with their normal lives."

"1-2 hours ago, sounds were heard in the sky. We understand several miniature UAVs were overhead, which were shot down." pic.twitter.com/HDsZGf1Jif

Then this happened– A Biden administration official blamed Israel for the attack. Why would the Biden regime do that?

CNN reported:

Israel has carried out a strike inside Iran, a US official tells CNN, in a move that threatens to push the region deeper into conflict.

The target is not nuclear, the official said.

Prior to the Israeli strike Friday (local time), the US expectation was that they would not target civilian or nuclear facilities, another senior US official told CNN.

CNN has previously reported that Israel told the US its response would be limited in scope. US intelligence had suggested Israel was weighing a narrow and limited strike inside Iran because they feel like they have to respond with a kinetic action of some kind given the unprecedented scale of the Iranian attack

On Friday The Jerusalem Post reported that Israeli officials were “unclear” why the Biden administration and Pentagon would reveal that Israel was involved in the explosions.

The Pentagon could have remained silent and preserved Iran’s dignity.

But instead, the Biden regime embarrassed the Iranians and therefore escalated the conflict.

Fascinating @Jerusalem_Post report on what happened in Isfahan this a.m.

Ingrassia: Alvin Bragg’s Case Against President Trump Is A Total Scam With No Basis In Law, Fact, Or Reality

The weaponization of the rule of law has reached a point beyond repair in New York State, with the ongoing trial being waged by District Attorney Alvin Bragg against President Donald Trump.  Even at this late hour, the State has failed to prove 1) how President Trump falsified business records; 2) how the alleged falsification of the business records scheme was criminal; and 3) why that alleged crime should be prosecuted as a felony, rather than a misdemeanor, which is the typical charge for falsification schemes under New York State Law.

Given that President Trump’s alleged wrongdoing is being treated as criminal misconduct, the burden of proof is for the State to prove that Donald Trump is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for every single element of the asserted crime.  The legal burden of proof of “beyond a reasonable doubt” means that the prosecution must convince the jury that “there is no other reasonable explanation that can come from the evidence presented at trial.”  That incredibly high evidentiary threshold must be established for every single element of the crime alleged. What is more, criminal trials require unanimity on part of the jury; a hung jury will result in a mistrial, ultimately pushing the case back until after the November election, which is not what Bragg wants.

Obviously, the goal of Alvin Bragg and Letitia James is to prosecute – and put President Trump behind bars – as soon as possible (before election day ideally) to sabotage his chances of winning re-election.  President Trump’s re-election appears increasingly like a foregone conclusion with the latest polls consistently putting him in a significant lead over Joe Biden.

President Trump is currently being tried under New York Penal Law 175.05.  The law ordinarily makes it a misdemeanor, not a felony, to falsify business records with “intent to defraud.”  The law permits, however, the District Attorney to upgrade what ordinarily would be considered a misdemeanor to a Class E felony if the intent to defraud is combined with an intent to commit another crime.

Of course, the State has a heavy burden of proof to show that President Trump intended to defraud in the first place, let alone defraud with an intent to commit some other yet undefinable crime.  Paying off an adult film actress, if that even occurred, is not a crime under New York law.  The idea, then, that a fraud was intended, let alone committed, by what is widely recognized to be, at worst, a mere “clerical error” in how the President’s accountant reported the alleged payment to the tax collector, is absurd.

Nobody seems to be asking who was lied to in this case – was it the public? The IRS? The FEC?  Moreover, even if a reporting error constitutes a lie, the lie must have been done with the requisite intent to be considered a fraud under law.  Errors in and of themselves hardly make a lie, let alone impute criminal fraud upon the one making the error.

If the State is attempting to argue, for instance, that President Trump’s accountant, lawyer, or (so the State’s theory goes) whoever intentionally misrepresented the hush money payment to defraud the public, the onus is still on Bragg and his team (which conveniently includes the Biden-DOJ political appointee, Matthew Colangelo) to show on what basis the injured party — here, “the people,” or public — would have relied on such fraud, resulting in a specified damage to them.

Under New York law, in order to prove fraud, the State must show, by clear and convincing evidence, each and every one of the following elements:

(1) a material misrepresentation or omission of fact;

(2) made by defendant with knowledge of its falsity;

(3) and intent to defraud;

(4) reasonable reliance on the part of the plaintiff; and

(5) resulting damage to the plaintiff.

The underlying assumption that appears to be working in the background and driving Bragg’s bogus fraud theory is that the public somehow would be damaged by the allegations of an extramarital affair implicating Donald Trump.  But it is difficult to see just exactly what those damages are. Sure, one could, I suppose, entertain the view that a portion of President Trump’s voter base might have been alienated from voting for him if revelations of an affair came to light, but that is a rather incredulous sell.  Moreover, a scandalized portion of President Trump’s voter base would only be indirectly related to this case, which, again, is not based on a hush money payment, but an alleged falsified business records scheme implicating a hush money payment that, on its own terms, has no legal significance, much less something that could impute criminality (let alone a felony) upon the perpetrator.

This is especially so, given how much we already know about President Trump’s personal life, his marriages, divorces, etc., etc., etc., which are thoroughly documented, and have long been part of the national conversation – and in the public record – decades before President Trump ever thought of descending that escalator and stepping foot into the political arena.

There is no such thing, really, in criminal law as “moral” damages – or damages afflicting one’s conscience because of moral scandal resulting from an illicit affair.  But to the extent any damages at all stemming from the fraud perpetrated here exist, that would be it (what else could there possibly be?).  The State cannot prosecute President Trump on economic damages resulting from the State being denied taxable money because of how the law was structured before the 2018 change in the law.  At the time of President Trump’s tax filing, it was perfectly legal to write-off hush money payments for an affair – trying him now, on a theory of damages, based on the changed law encounters serious ex post facto and double jeopardy problems, both of which are obviously unconstitutional.

Should the State try to contend that moral damages resulted from the cover up, that argument would be even more ridiculous than believing that portions of President Trump’s voting base would not have supported him but for revelations of the fraud.  The law already permits hush money payments for the type of conduct alleged in this case.  Thus, the law patently does not track moral improprieties arising from extramarital affairs.

But let us assume, to play devil’s advocate, that the law did indict such misconduct. That would necessarily trigger at least two thorny, and as yet unresolved, legal questions – on what grounds do those alleged improprieties rise to the level of criminality?  (A derivative of that first question is: does our society want to impute criminality – and potentially felonious criminality – upon extramarital sexual acts?)

The second question raised: what moral system is animating the asserted improprieties on which the criminality imputed in the law is based?  If the moral system is deemed antiquated or no longer relevant in the eyes of public opinion, should not the law be considered illegitimate, and hence no longer operative?

In layman’s terms, it would be quite a riot to see Alvin Bragg condemn as criminal, and indeed a felony, extramarital conduct under the law.  If so, Bragg would be acting with all the moral fervor of a pope during the Middle Ages!

Such self-righteous behavior is made even more laughable when placed against what is now happening to Bragg’s good buddies in Georgia, with Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, who were sleeping with one another, raising a massive and disqualifying conflict of interest, all the while their own prosecution against President Trump was taking place!

If what President Trump did regarding an alleged hush money payment is criminal conduct, under Bragg’s revanchist and morally hard-charged legal theory, then both Willis and her special counsel, Nathan Wade – and indeed, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, by extension – should all be similarly prosecuted under Bragg’s construction for their own, far graver, moral transgressions and many sexual improprieties committed!

Another salient legal issue that Bragg appears to have just blithely swept under the rug with this case is why, exactly, should President Trump be held vicariously criminally liable for an alleged clerical error committed by his accountant or his attorney, Michael Cohen, or whoever might have been overseeing his tax filings at the time the write-off was made?  If, as President Trump has said, that it was Michael Cohen, not him, who decided pay off Stormy Daniels, Bragg should be investigating Cohen and forcing him into court, not President Trump.

Bragg has also failed to establish how the alleged fraud rises to a felony.  The District Attorney claims that President Trump somehow committed a felony – again, despite not having committed a fraud in the first place, for one, and not being the one to file his tax returns, for two – even though the black letter law (again, §175.05) incontrovertibly treats the alleged misconduct here as a misdemeanor, not a felony!

Under the relevant law, crimes brought under Penal Law 175.05 may arise to a felony if and only if the District Attorney can prove that the alleged misdemeanor occurred to perpetuate or cover up another crime.  Bragg plainly states that another crime was committed concomitantly with the clerical error that he is calling a misdemeanor here.  But what crime, pray tell, he interestingly, incredulously, does not say!

The reason he does not state the crime is that he is relying, ultimately, on the sensationalized aspect of a hush money payment to engender the public perception that adulterous activity, though immoral, constitutes a felony under the law, even though that is patently not the case!  The idea is to exploit and manipulate public opinion, naturally recalcitrant (though perhaps less so nowadays than in years past) to the concept of extramarital affairs — and then conflate those received public biases and strong emotions with tangled legal theories of criminality, distorting the law and sowing both legal and moral confusion in the process.

If it were truly the case that extramarital conduct should be imputed with legal significance, then hush money payments, which necessarily run downstream from such misconduct, would likewise be treated as unlawful.  But hush money payments are permissible under law, and have been permissible for ages. Because hush money payments are lawful, Bragg’s legal theory is dead in the water.

But, for Bragg, et al., it does not matter what the law actually says.  For Bragg, all he has to rely upon is how the public feels about certain allegations – which he is hoping will be enough of a foundation to prosecute the President’s alleged misdemeanor as a felony, and therefore put him behind bars, even though there is absolutely no basis for any of his hogwash theory whatsoever in either fact or law!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news to Mr. Bragg, but public sentiment — good, bad, or indifferent — is rarely ever a barometer for whether the law should treat a particular act as criminal.  Here, public sentiment has no bearing on the legality of any of the facts alleged. The problem for New York’s embattled District Attorney is that he is both logically inconsistent, to an egregious degree, and morally hypocritical in his selective use (ah! one might call, ‘weaponization’) of the law, as a sword, against President Trump.

This ultimately is reason why a critical percentage of the public, including many Independents and Democrats, see Bragg’s prosecution for what it is: an out-and-out persecution against his greatest political adversary.

There is no rhyme or reason to Bragg’s theory of the case, he is merely operating as a political apparatchik for the Biden Regime where he must get off on roleplaying as a tin-pot dictator to bring down Orange Hitler.

The whole thing is a sham, a farce, a scam, and a political scandal of an order of magnitude never seen before in American history.  The case should be tossed out, and the public should treat Bragg, James, Judge Merchan, and the entire charade backing President Trump’s latest political persecution for the clown show it is – a flagrant abuse of the rule of law. A case that one never, ever should take seriously, because those bad-faith actors currently executing the Regime’s marching orders are every bit as bad and makeshift as the phony legal theories they espouse, certain in no time to be relegated to at most a forgotten footnote in this dark, dreary, dismal chapter of American history.

Soros-Funded California DA Gascon Dropped Charges Against Konnech CEO for Political Reasons After He Was Caught Storing US Elections Data in China – The FBI Also Mysteriously Dropped the Investigation – What Are They Hiding?

In October 2022, Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested in Michigan in connection with “theft of personal data.”

The alleged stolen data belonged to poll workers and was the subject of TrueTheVote’s “PIT” in Arizona in August 2022, in which Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips singled out the Michigan-based company.

During the PIT conference, Phillips and Engelbrecht alleged they were cooperating with the FBI in Michigan about data being sent overseas by this company. The investigation quickly turned on them after the FBI distanced itself from it for some strange reason.

Journalist “incognito” Kanekoa covered this company and researched Konnech.

Here is the link to the LA County website after the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on October 4, 2022, announced the arrest of Konnech CEO Eugene Yu on suspicion of theft of personal identifying information by investigators at the LA District Attorney’s office.

 

The theft of data only impacted the election workers, alleged Soros-funded Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon at the time.  The LADA seized hard drives and other digital evidence from the Michigan software firm with the assistance of Meridian Township Police in MI.  The LADA was seeking Yu’s extradition to Los Angeles.

Following the CEO’s arrest Fairfax County in Virginia announced they stopped using Konnech’s PollChief election officer management software.

True the Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht and investigator Gregg Phillips were then hauled into court by lawyers representing Konnech who sued Catherine and Gregg for defamation for reporting on the company and its actions.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt demanded the conservative nonprofit group disclose their sources of the information central to the case, about sensitive poll worker data managed by Konnech Inc.

After Konnech sued True the Vote for defamation, Hoyt ordered True the Vote to turn over any Konnech data the organization still had and disclose the name of the individual who’d helped them obtain it.

Gregg and Catherine refused to “burn” their source in the Konnech reporting and spent 10 days in prison for not turning over their source to Konnech and their corrupt attorneys.

The Soros-funded LA District Attorney dropped the charges against Konnech the day after the 2022 midterm election.  The reason for the dismissal was never explained – until recently.

In April 2023, Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht released all of their information on the China-linked Konnech Company at Open.Ink. The next day Konnech dropped ALL CHARGES against Gregg and Catherine!

Kanekoa later revealed that the FBI shielded and protected Konnech from investigation despite its ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Konnech provided election administration and logistics software to numerous prominent counties in the United States,

 

This Konnech database “stored the personally identifying information of over a million Americans,” he emphasized. Engelbrecht and Phillips decided that “this was a major national security risk” and immediately took the information to the FBI.

When Engelbrecht and Phillips took this information to the FBI, the FBI “said the information was forwarded to their counterintelligence operation, and a counterintelligence operation was opened up in January or February of 2021,” Phillips said.

Phillips described how he and Engelbrecht played an active role in the FBI’s operation, “They engaged us in the operation, they were communicating with us on a regular basis. They were communicating with Catherine regarding communications with the target and this went on for approximately 15 months.”

In April 2022, Engelbrecht received a call from one of the FBI agents, who informed her that the FBI’s “Washington D.C. headquarters” was now involved in the investigation.

Engelbrecht described how everything changed after this call, “There was no more goodwill, there was no more let’s work together, the script had been flipped, and now we were the target,” she said. “That was a very disturbing call.”

The agent informed Engelbrecht that “two women” at the FBI’s headquarters believed that Phillips and Engelbrecht were “in the wrong for doing this” and that the D.C. office was now trying “to figure out how you guys broke the law to find all of this.”

Engelbrecht added, “Which of course we didn’t, but that was kind of their Modus Operandi, they were going to try to pin something on us, and today you can pick your headlines about how the FBI has done this time and again.”

Phillips remarked, “The problem is they know about this, and they chose to do nothing. They chose to investigate it, and in the end, they chose to blame us, but this is China. These are Chinese operatives in the United States; these are Chinese citizens who are programming this.”

On October 28, 2022, @TrueTheVote and @OnwardSocial submitted an affidavit containing approximately 10% of their text messages exchanged with FBI Agents in Detroit and San Antonio, supporting their claim of working with the FBI on a 15-month “counter-intelligence operation” against Eugene Yu, prior to the involvement of FBI headquarters in Washington D.C.

The text messages included conversations with the following individuals:

-Special Agent Bruce Fowler, Detroit
-SA Huy Nguyen, San Antonio
-SA Kevin McKenna, San Antonio
-SA Kristina, San Antonio

In one text message exchange, Fowler provided his FBI email address and mentioned receiving three thumb drives from the San Antonio office. He asked Engelbrecht to guide him on where to find information on those drives.

In another text message exchange, Engelbrecht asked for the name of an agent in Georgia. Nguyen responded that he would provide the name later, but “in the meantime, you can tell them that you filed the complaint with SA Huy Nguyen and SA Kevin McKenna with San Antonio Division.”

In another exchange, Engelbrecht texted Nguyen, stating:

“I wanted to let you know that we took the nuclear option and went public (in a very limited way, but nonetheless we did it). Konnech quickly filed a civil suit against us in Houston federal court and got an ex parte [temporary restraining order].

Part of the TRO required that we name who we’d gotten the election worker data from, same person who’d provided it to you. We gave the court the name under seal. Our attorney also notified the Houston FBI office, where the case was filed.

Nguyen did not respond to Engelbrecht’s text. According to further texts provided by Engelbrecht, she reached out to “KayKay,” saying she hoped to talk, in person, if possible.

Engelbrecht added that she, Phillips, and “the researcher who originally provided us the data” are being “doxed” and that it’s “a very serious situation and we’ve been left to hang.”

Engelbrecht then noted, “Yu has already been indicted by a Grand Jury and arrested,” but they “continue to hear chatter that the FBI is working with Konnech, against us, and still trying to accuse us of crimes we did not commit.”

On April 14, 2023, cybersecurity expert Nate Cain (@cain_nate), who forensically imaged Konnech’s devices for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office, stated that Konnech stored the personal data of U.S. election workers and judges on servers in China.

DC FBI elites DROPPED the investigation into Konnech for some reason. It is not clear when this occurred. This is just the latest example of the lawlessness of America’s top investigative agency.

In this instance, it appears they were working for the Chinese Communists and against the American people.

Fast forward to Wednesday — Investigative journalist Margot Cleveland at The Federalist reported that Soros-funded District Attorney George Gascon dropped the bombshell investigation against Konnech because it could help Donald Trump.

L.A. County District Attorney George Gascon improperly — and for political reasons — dismissed the criminal charges against the CEO of election software services company Konnech, a governmental tort complaint filed Wednesday by the lead prosecutor on the case claims. That eight-page complaint against Gascon with the county Board of Supervisors further alleges the DA retaliated against his lead prosecutor for opposing the dismissal of the charges — and reveals many more previously unknown and troubling details about the entire case…

…Yu was later arrested and extradited to California, where the far-left Gascon eventually dismissed the criminal charges against Yu. L.A. County later also approved a $5 million payout to Yu to settle a civil lawsuit the Konnech CEO had filed against the government.

From a legal perspective, the dismissal of the criminal charges was baffling, as the criminal complaint filed against Yu stated that during the execution of a search warrant at Konnech, the government recovered evidence that employees had “sent personal identifying information of Los Angeles County election workers to third-party software developers who assisted with the creating and fixing [of] Konnech’s internal ‘PollChief’ software.” The criminal complaint further stated that a project manager for Konnech’s contract with L.A. County “confirmed via the messaging app DingTalk that any employee for Chinese contractors working on PollChief software had ‘superadministrative’ privileges for all PollChief clients.”

The evidence shows that California DA George Gascon dropped the charges against the Konnech founder for political reasons.

But why would the FBI drop the investigation? That is much more difficult to explain.

Media, Leftists, Infuriated that Mississippi won’t let Felons Vote

A story originally appearing in the Associated Press (“AP”) complaining about the lack of felon voting rights in Mississippi is being amplified by a variety of other news outlets.

The story is the product of a left-wing desire to normalize the effort to give voting rights to convicted felons.

The reasoning is simple: felons vote for Democrats, according to a study from the left-wing Brennan Center for Justice at NYU law. The findings were that 70% registered as Democrats and 24% registered as Republicans. Other studies show somewhere between a 20-40% preference for Democrats by those with a prior felony conviction.

The story quotes Kenneth Almons who served 23 years in state prison for armed robbery. It mentions that armed robbery is one of Almons’ felonies, it does not list out what his other charges putting him behind bars were.

House Bill 4082 in Mississippi specifically mentions Almons, and notes that some of his other felonies involved burglary and possession of a handgun.

The story does mention that Mississippi only restricts voting rights for people convicted of a certain list of 22 different felonies. It doesn’t list out what those other felonies are, but here’s the list from the Attorney General’s website.

Felons lose their obligation to serve on jury duty when called in every state except Maine. Felons lose their gun rights under federal law in 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), federal firearms rights are lost upon conviction of a “crime punishable by a imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.”

CNN in 2020 estimated that 5 million people with felony convictions are not currently voting.

The wide variety of far-left groups advocating for the restoration of voting rights don’t seem as concerned with the restoration of jury duty obligations, even though juries are chronically undermanned nationwide, nor the restoration of firearm ownership rights.

Here are the far-left groups involved in this advocacy:

The Associated Press does not identify a single opponent of the bill, and does not focus on any possible negatives to the proposed legislation. In fact, the news piece quotes a far-left group, the Brennan Center.

Previously, the AP editorialized and said that the restoration of felon voting rights was ‘bipartisan’ and offered a ‘rare’ chance for change. The improper advocacy by the news outlet is matched by the unbalanced coverage within the story, where only one side of the argument and debate is being presented. The obvious partisan implications of the bill are also ignored, to the benefit of the party that would want to hide its electoral agenda and strategy.

This kind of advocacy within the news, along with the corruption of the mainstream media that presents far-left policy agenda items as ‘bipartisan’ efforts, is part of a 50-plus year center-right criticism of systemic bias in the media that promotes mindless conformity to left-wing ideology.

A simple search of Google reveals the headline of the article is repeated exactly the same in 40 different news outlets. It’s a close version of this formulation:

headline: Mississippi legislators won’t smooth the path this year to restore voting rights after some felonies

These outlets are simply repeating the wire service copy, copying-and-pasting the headline and the text of the story as given to them.

The reporter at the Associated Press who wrote the original story was Emily Wagster Pettus. In her article, Pettus writes from an entirely left-wing sympathetic point of view. Her article toes a hard-left political line. Pettus claims in her article, citing to the attorneys in the case from left-wing groups, that blacks are more likely to commit felonies, especially the felonies listed above, than other races.

She refers to the prohibition on felon voting as coming from a “Jim Crow era” of the state’s history. Reporter Pettus makes an argument for guilt-by-timeline and guilt-by-association as the laws in question were passed at the wrong time and in the wrong place to be considered valid.

This despite the fact that many other states, including many other southern states, allow for felon voting rights restoration. Not to mention that many other states with similar rules, Iowa, Connecticut, Wyoming, Arizona, never had ‘Jim Crow’ laws nor were they in the Confederacy. 

The beginning of Pettus’ original story reads as follows:

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Kenneth Almons says he began a 23-year sentence in a Mississippi prison just two weeks after graduating from high school, and one of his felony convictions — for armed robbery — stripped away voting rights that he still has not regained decades later.

Now 51, Almons told lawmakers Wednesday that he has worked hard and remained law-abiding since his release, and he wants to be able to vote.

“It would mean I am no longer considered a nobody,” Almons said. “Because when you don’t have a voice, you’re nobody.”

Mississippi is among the 26 states that remove voting rights from people for criminal convictions, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.

Mississippi’s original list of disenfranchising crimes springs from the Jim Crow era, and attorneys who have sued to challenge the list say authors of the state constitution removed voting rights for crimes they thought Black people were more likely to commit.

The restoration of felon voting rights, letting the votes of rapists to cancel out their victims, and for murderers to double-outvote their victims, has opponents that the Associated Press could find if they had tried.

Law College ‘Anti-Racism’ Fellow Caught on Camera Piling Vicious Hatred on ‘Ugly…Little Jewish People’

A woman identified as Loyola Marymount University graduate student Grace Obi-Azuike yells at Jewish people.

A woman identified as Loyola Marymount University graduate student Grace Obi-Azuike yells at Jewish people.

At some point in the last five years, we stopped merely studying history’s darkest moments and began experiencing them.

For instance, in an 11-second viral clip posted Wednesday to the social media platform X, a woman identified as Loyola Marymount University graduate student Grace Obi-Azuike effectively re-enacted a scene from Nazi Germany when she spewed venomous anti-Jewish hatred and, significantly, incurred no apparent rebuke from the younger people around her who attended an event featuring Israel Defense Forces members.

“Get the f*** out of here, all you ugly-a** little Jewish people in this b****,” the California law student appeared to say in a clip shared by the StopAntisemitism X account.

Obi-Azuike made the comment while seated and signaling in the direction of people who did not appear on camera.

Her insidious remark drew a look of astonishment but also an open-mouthed smile from an androgynous-looking person seated to her left. The male-looking person to her right wore the cloth mask of the COVID cult. His reaction, therefore — perhaps thankfully — remains a mystery.

But some attendees clapped or otherwise voiced approval.

“Oooooh, hooooo, yeah,” an unidentified female voice said.

At that point, an older, suit-wearing man walked over to Obi-Azuike and stood to her left. The camera did not capture what happened next, but he did not appear pleased as he rubbed his chin.

According to the Los Angeles school’s Jewish Law Students Association, the Adolf Hitler-like outburst occurred as part of a calculated effort by multiple law students to disrupt an event that featured firsthand accounts from Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

On Instagram, JLSA reported that “a few attendees left trembling as they made their way to their vehicles.”

A post shared by JLSA (@jlsa_loyola)

As one would expect in this age of woke narcissism, the Loyola Law School boasts its own Anti-Racism Center.

The StopAntisemitism post referred to Obi-Azuike as a 2022-2023 fellow at the center — and the humor-focused, real-news site Not the Bee did likewise based on her now-deleted LinkedIn page.

Her intellectual profile certainly fits that of an anti-racist narcissist.

For instance, Obi-Azuike also belonged to the California ChangeLawyers organization.

“Our scholars and fellows are law students and recent law grads who are BIPOC, First Generation, LGBTQ+ and others whose lived experiences and identities are underrepresented in the halls of power,” the group’s scholar and fellow directory proclaimed.

As of Thursday afternoon, Obi-Azuike still appeared on the directory page. The following note appeared on her scholar profile:

“Our community has informed us of an incident that occurred earlier this week at Loyola Law School involving one of our scholarship recipients.

“ChangeLawyers exists to build a more inclusive multiracial democracy that protects and respects the humanity of all people — including our Jewish, Black, Muslim, and Women-identified communities. Any words or actions that denigrate the humanity of others flies in the face of our values. We do not condone racism or hate speech in any form, spoken or posted online.

“To all our community members: You Belong. ChangeLawyers will always be a place of compassion, empathy, and understanding.”

Obi-Azuike also appeared among the California Association of Black Lawyers‘ 2024 law student scholarship recipients.

On Feb. 2, LMU recognized Obi-Azuike among 11 graduate finalists who each received $5,000 to support research “focused on areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism.”

She also has served as president of the LLS Black Law Students Association. In that role, with a paean to the Juneteenth holiday, she provided a glimpse into the mind of a young narcissist.

“We comprise the generation of individuals that have the strongest ability to dismantle and end racism throughout this country,” Obi-Azuike wrote.

Predictably, she also insisted on the need to “understand the intersection between law and systemic racism.”

In other words, like many young victims of woke education and culture, Obi-Azuike sees the world primarily through skin color — and she obviously felt empowered to count herself with the “generation” that could “dismantle and end racism.”

Oh, how our schools have failed to encourage humility in such self-important crusaders.

Nonetheless, though unfortunate to have come of age in an era that validates narcissism, Obi-Azuike is no victim here.

For one thing, she reminds us that anti-racism amounts to nothing more than institutionally approved racism.

More importantly, her ugly outburst called to mind a 1998 book by historian Christopher R. Browning.

In “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland,” Browning explained how a group of “average middle-aged Germans” transformed into executioners during the Holocaust.

In short, it did not take much for those initially reluctant killers to become eager instruments of mass murder.

Above all, it took an atmosphere in which officials encouraged such phrases as “you ugly-a** little Jewish people.”

Not long ago, we could study the past and wonder how things could have ever turned so dark. Now, however, we wonder no more.

Narcan and Liberal Drug Policies Worsening Drug Crisis

 

Bhavani Nagendra Papudesi, MD, CC BY 4.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0>, via Wikimedia Commons

 

Liberal drug laws and government-funded interventions to make drug use safer normalize drug use and fuel the drug crisis.

Last year, 112,000 Americans died of drug overdoses, and American taxpayers are funding the crisis. Millions of dollars in Biden’s $1.9 Trillion pandemic Relief Bill went towards funding so-called “harm reduction” programs, which help people use drugs more safely but do not encourage them to stop using. This year, Biden-Harris allocated $39.4 million toward the President’s Unity Agenda, which includes harm reduction programs.

Meanwhile, a congressional committee discovered that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been subsidizing the companies that provide the precursor chemicals to Mexican drug cartels, who manufacture fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other drugs, which they smuggle through the Southern border. So, American taxpayers are not only funding the drug crisis but also funding China.

A backlash among liberals against the “war on drugs,” which they consider a racist failure, has caused a number of jurisdictions to take the opposite approach, liberalizing or decriminalizing drug use. Some have intentionally increased access to alcohol by allowing to-go sales and lowering taxes. Tax revenue has been one of the arguments Democrats use when trying to convince Republicans to legalize and tax marijuana, which is now legal in at least 37 states. But now, even those taxes are being removed because they were preventing some people from obtaining drugs.

Rather than trying to convince people that sobriety is the better way, liberal drug and alcohol programs have shifted their focus toward “harm reduction,” which seeks to mitigate the public health risks of drug use without stigmatizing users or requiring them to stop. By definition, removing the stigma means normalizing. It also nullifies the deterrent effect for first-time users who will believe that they can use drugs and still be a productive member of society, despite the evidence to the contrary.

As part of harm reduction, there has been increased funding for the distribution of Narcan and other overdose reversal medications, as well as programs that provide sterile drug paraphernalia and teach people how to use drugs safely “without requiring them to stop or reduce their use.”

Narcan is now available without a prescription, and last year, approximately 22 million doses were distributed in the US and Canada, at taxpayer expense. Narcan and other interventions only decrease the number of deaths, not the number of overdoses, which is many times higher.

Overdosing has been made “safer” by these drugs. They do not resolve the drug crisis. Even worse, by decreasing the number of deaths, the interventions allow the problem to disappear from the front page. Deaths remain on people’s minds; addiction doesn’t. Removing the lethality also removes the deterrent for young people.

The Democrats are disinterested in stopping drug use, so by legalizing drugs, they can claim to have reduced crime. In many American cities, irrespective of the law, progressive prosecutors refuse to prosecute what they consider low-level drug crimes.

A good example is the state of Oregon, which voted in 2020 to liberalize drug laws, decriminalizing possession of small amounts of even hard drugs. The measures were passed by the Democrat-led legislature, and the police stopped arresting offenders. Instead, officers gave users a ticket and a slip of paper with a phone number they could call to get into a treatment program. Records show that Portland police handed out 7,000 of these slips, but only a few hundred users ever made the call.

Marijuana was already legal in Oregon, so tax money from marijuana was put towards treatment programs. Three years later, the drug crisis in Oregon was worse.

Advocates for liberal drug policies argue, “the criminal justice system didn’t effectively treat addiction.” They also said it disproportionately harmed people of color. By ceasing drug arrests, they hoped to be able to decrease the racial disparity among prisoners. Decriminalization also brought down the crime rate by no longer counting drug offenses. However, other forms of crime increased, perpetrated by people trying to get money for drugs.

Before decriminalization, Portland’s violent crime rate was below the national average. By 2022, Portland saw a record number of homicides. This dropped off a bit in 2023, and there were claims that other crimes dropped as well, but traffic fatalities increased to record levels, while shoplifting arrests increased by 88%. Portland’s property crime rate is higher than the national average and rose steadily until 2023, when it came down slightly. But it is still higher than pre-drug legalization. And most predictably, from 2019 to 2022, the rate of opioid deaths increased by 241%.

While many sources claim that overall crime rates have dropped in cities that legalized drugs, the statistic is misleading. This is evidenced not only by Oregon, but also by other municipalities that decriminalized drugs or liberalized enforcement and have seen an increase in drug use, overdoses, and certain kinds of crime. This has been true in Seattle, where the claim was that overall crime was down, but there was an increase in homicides and auto thefts.

San Francisco has seen an increase in drug-related crimes, as well as the prevalence of dealers and violence. Crime is up in New York, where the liberal governor wants to deploy the National Guard to keep order in the subways. Philadelphia is now known as the capital of the Xylazine zombie drug crisis, and Los Angeles is a fentanyl hub, experiencing rampant shoplifting, theft, and an increase in property crime.

One way that the statistics are being misrepresented is that many of these cities are claiming a decrease in violent crime in 2023, and this may be true, but only because 2022 experienced a severe spike in crime. This may have been the final effects of lockdowns and COVID restrictions which, in some cases, were not completely eliminated until the middle or end of the year. However, in most cases, the 2023 numbers are not lower than 2020 or pre-drug-liberalization figures.

No matter how they try to spin it, drug usage and deaths are up. In 2020, 27 million Americans reported being drug users, including marijuana, opioids, or amphetamines. Last year, the number climbed to 37.3 million. About 10% of Americans now have problems with alcohol abuse, and 6% are drug addicts. Most heartbreaking, nationwide, 22 teens are dying each week of drug overdoses.

Is Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s New Scheme to Turn Chicago Neigborhood Another Opportunity to Put Illegals Ahead of Citizens?

LaSalle Street Chicago

LaSalle Street in Chicago has long been an important business and financial hub for the city.

But if Mayor Brandon Johnson has his way, the area will be transformed into “affordable housing,” with some suggesting it is yet another scheme to place the interests of illegals ahead of citizens.

Blockclub Chicago reported that “four potential developments have been picked as part of the LaSalle Street Reimagined initiative, a plan that aims to help the corridor bounce back from pandemic vacancies,” which would add “more than 1,000 new apartments, with at least 319 of them affordable.”

On Friday, the City Council will vote on Johnson’s request for $1.25B for affordable housing borrowing.

This is on top of Johnson’s request for $70 million in additional City funding to care for illegals, which the Budget and Government Operations Committee voted 20-8 to send to the full Council.

The Real Deal spelled out Johnson’s plan:

The plan calls for $1.25 billion in bonds to be allocated over five years, with $250 million annually divided between the city’s Department of Planning and Development and the Department of Housing, for economic development and housing programs.

It would also allow numerous TIF districts to expire, and for the tax dollars recouped from those districts to be redirected to fund this initiative. This shift signifies a departure from Chicago’s traditional reliance on TIF funds for its developments, removing geographic barriers to how the money is spent.

Chicago reporter William B. Kelly, however, has questions.

Kelly shared on X, “Will Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson get $1.25B to turn LaSalle Street into migrant housing? I know many of you are furious with Chicago Mayor Johnson and I don’t blame you. If you are angry and frustrated, understand this. The #Chicago City Council plans to vote on his $1.25B affordable housing borrowing plan this Friday. This is in addition to the $70M request he has made for #migrant housing and care. This $1.25B money grab is what he really wants – and he wants to use that money to turn Chicago’s LaSalle Street into taxpayer-funded apartments for migrants. His Brighton Park tent city failed and his Bring Chicago Home Referendum failed. He can’t afford this to fail too. So, don’t get distracted by things that won’t work. As a resident, as a voter and as a citizen, you have more power than you know. Please like, comment, and share this report widely. If this troubles you, voice your opposition and contact your alderman.”

Watch as Kelly exposes Johnson’s scheme:

Joe Scarborough Melts Down Again, Says Trump Supporters “Hate America” and Want a “Dictatorship” (Video)

Joe Scarborough

Watching Joe Scarborough’s Morning Joe is a front-row seat to the effects of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Scarborough suffered a humiliating meltdown in March after getting called out for lying about President Trump on X.

Now, in his latest episode of unhinged anger, Scarborough rages that Trump supporters “hate America.”

“What’s wrong with you?  Who raised you? What history did you read? Where are you from? Because you may claim to be from where I’m from, but you were not raised by the same teachers I was raised by, and you don’t read,” Scarborough said.

He was raised by teachers as opposed to being raised by parents? That may be part of the problem, Joe.

“I’m getting tired of saying this to people who claim to be patriotic but hate America, because they’re always running America down. They’re always trashing America. They’re always saying America is horrible, its democracy doesn’t work, we need a dictatorship if Donald Trump doesn’t win.”

Scarborough then downplayed coverage of the crisis at the border and mocked Fox News.

“I’ll just say it, on Fox News, they didn’t want to show Donald Trump in trial, so they got three protests and said, protests shut down America, basically. This weekend, there were like four migrants and a hound dog on top of a hill in New Mexico. They had their four migrants and a hound dog cam on for hours.”

MSM Finally Admits Russian War of Attrition Is Winning the Conflict in Ukraine – CIA Director Burns Says Moscow May Be Victorious by Year’s End

There was never much doubt that in a military confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, those whom President Donald Trump called a ‘war machine’ (Russians) would prevail.

Sure enough, once an unprecedented alliance of Western powers sent countless billions in money and military aid, the calculations had to be remade – but it soon became apparent that, while this help would considerably delay the outcome, it would not fundamentally change it.

We all did predict it.

While the Mainstream Media spent two full years lying and engaging in wishful thinking disguised as analysis, they now have to give in to the reality of facts as Russian troops ramp up pressure on the outgunned and outmaneuvered Ukrainian forces.

Moscow is reportedly preparing to conquer more territory as soon as the muddy tundra fields dry out and ‘allow tanks, armored vehicles and other heavy equipment to roll to key positions across the countryside.’

Russian stromtroopers.

Associated Press reported:

“Russia has increasingly used satellite-guided gliding bombs — which allow planes to drop them from a safe distance — to pummel Ukrainian forces beset by a shortage of troops and ammunition.

Despite Moscow’s advantage in firepower and personnel, a massive ground offensive would be risky and — Russian military bloggers other experts say — unnecessary if Russia can stick to smaller attacks across the front line to further drain the Ukraine military.

‘It’s potentially a slippery slope where you get like a death by a thousand cuts or essentially death by a thousand localized offensives’, Michael Kofman, a military expert with the Carnegie Endowment, said in a recent podcast to describe the Russian tactic. If the Russians stick to their multiple pushes across the front, he said, ‘eventually they may find more and more open terrain’.”

The much-hyped Ukrainian ‘counteroffensive’ was doomed from the start, as the advancing units got trapped on vast Russian minefields and massacred by artillery and drones while never breaching the monumental Russian defense lines.

The Russians, the AP report acknowledges, have no reason to make that same mistake, since warfare has changed and the ISR capabilities both sides now have mean there is no such thing as a ‘surprise attack’ anymore.

Ukrainian anti-tank defenses ‘dragon teeth’.

However, the expected Ukrainian defensive trenches, fortifications, and bunkers that should be built behind the  600-mile-long frontline have not been completed to content.

Construction work moved slowly, leaving vast areas unprotected.

“After capturing the Ukrainian stronghold of Avdiivka, Russian troops are zeroing in on the hill town of Chasiv Yar, which would allow them to move toward Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, key cities in the Kyiv-controlled part of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.”

Russian forces take Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).

As a first priority,  Russia meant to conquer the rest of the Donetsk oblast – as Ukraine just doesn’t have the firepower or the manpower to repel the Russian attacks.

“Gen. Christopher Cavoli, head of U.S. European Command, sounded the alarm before Congress last week, warning that Ukraine will be outgunned 10 to one by Russia in a matter of weeks if Congress does not approve more military aid.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed to establish a ‘buffer zone’ to protect Russia’s border regions from Ukrainian shelling and incursions.

Besides the push across Donetsk, Moscow could also conquer Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkov, with 1.1 million inhabitants.

Russia has ramped up strikes on power plants in the northern area, inflicting significant damage and causing blackouts.

Military Russian forces could alternatively envelop and blockade it.

Watch: Russian cluster munition attack on Ukrainian airfield.

Meanwhile, high US officials like CIA Director William Burns are warning that Ukraine could ‘lose’ the war against Russia by the end of the year.

CNN reported:

“Just a month ago, Burns had warned in testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee that if Congress did not move to authorize additional support — long hampered by conservative opposition in the House of Representatives — ‘Ukraine is likely to lose ground and probably significant ground in 2024’.”

Yesterday (18), during an appearance at the George W. Bush Center, Burns warned that Ukraine could be forced to capitulate entirely.

“’With the boost that would come from military assistance, both practically and psychologically, I think the Ukrainians are entirely capable of holding their own through 2024′, Burns said.

‘Without supplemental assistance, the picture is a lot more dire’, he continued. ‘There is a very real risk that the Ukrainians could lose on the battlefield by the end of 2024, or at least put Putin in a position where he could dictate the terms of a political settlement’.”

WATCH: Babylon Bee CEO Explains Why Experts Should NEVER Be Censors

The CEO of a popular satire site summed up exactly why no expert should ever have the ability to determine what free speech is allowed. Private experts, Big Tech employees and government officials alike have all appointed themselves arbiters of what speech should be censored and what speech will be allowed. This anti-constitutional attitude is also totally out of touch with a basic fact, one which The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon highlighted as a “knock-down argument” against censorship: experts can be wrong. Because of this fact, “dissent must not only be allowed, but encouraged,” Dillon posted on X (formerly Twitter) on April 17. Dillon included a clip of his 2023 testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee besides his written comment. “Whenever we learn that censorship has blocked something true (like the Hunter Biden laptop story), we always hear the same excuse: ‘We censored it based on what we knew at the time,’” he wrote. But, according to Dillon, “This is not a defense of censorship. In fact, it's a knock-down argument against it.” Media Research Center poll data previously illustrated that censorship of the Hunter Biden scandal swayed the 2020 presidential election in then-candidate Joe Biden’s favor. Related: ‘A Knock-Down Argument’: Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon Calls Out Hypocritical COVID-19 Censorship Dillon explained further, “If knowledge changes over time, then the last thing we should ever do is pretend it doesn't by preemptively shutting down the debate.” He concluded, “If it's even possible that the ‘experts’ and authorities are wrong — and we know they often are — then dissent must not only be allowed, but encouraged.” The X post also included a clip of Dillon, responding to a question about censors’ objectivity during the 2023 congressional hearing.  In it, Dillon referred to censors’ supposed credibility as a “pretty good joke” and added, “In the whole fact-checking apparatus … there’s unbelievable hubris in the whole project. You know, this idea, especially when we’re talking about medical information too, I often hear people going back say, ‘Well, it was based on what we knew at the time.’” Again, Dillon emphasized, this simply highlights that one’s knowledge can alter over time. He then stated the “knock-down argument” against censorship which he also wrote in his post. Indeed, America has a First Amendment to protect free speech and open debate. You May Also Like: WATCH: Babylon Bee CEO Calls Censorship ‘The Issue for Our Time’ The Babylon Bee is a member of the Free Speech Alliance. Conservatives are under attack.

Malaysian Doctor Expresses Deep Regret for Vaccination Stance, Offers Profuse Apology for Past Advice During COVID-19 Pandemic

Credit: Getty Images

Dr. Syafiq Nordin, a well-known Malaysian medical practitioner with a significant following on social media, has issued a profound apology for his past endorsements of the Pfizer vaccine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an emotional Facebook post, which gained attention after being highlighted by aussie17, a whistleblower from within the pharmaceutical industry, Dr. Syafiq outlines his regret and issues an apology for his past advice during the vaccination campaign.

Dr. Syafiq Nordin, Restorative Medicine (Facebook)

Here’s the translation to English:

PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES

1. In light of the recent news about Pfizer, a weakness in the industry in which I myself am involved has become apparent.

2. I feel a sadness within me, because before meeting Dr. Razin Jaafar, there were many mistakes in the medical advice I provided, especially related to COVID-19.

3. However, I am very grateful to him because now I am more open-eyed and more enlightened about health sciences, which honestly are more natural and resonate with my soul as a medical practitioner and as a Muslim.

4. During the past COVID era, it cannot be denied that it was difficult for health workers who worked tirelessly to provide the best healthcare, and even more challenging for the rest of the population facing lockdowns.

5. The administration of the vaccine at that time was seen as the best approach and the vaccine distribution program was quickly launched on a large scale.

6. I also participated, in my own capacity, in providing medical advice and obtaining ‘consent’ so that the vaccine could be administered.

7. As a medical practitioner, I also received the Pfizer vaccine 3 times.

8. Everything happened in a ‘touch & go’ manner, making it impossible for me to identify those to whom I had provided medical advice related to this issue.

9. With this, I would like to sincerely apologize for the mistakes I have made in the past years, especially to those who came to me during the mass distribution of the COVID vaccine.

10. Honestly, I do not have the capacity to help financially should complications arise.

11. However, I will try my best to provide more holistic medical advice, in line with the Restorative Science brought by Dr. Razin.

I apologize, a Citizen of Malaysia
Dr. Syafiq Nordin
Restorative Medicine

*** This apology is somewhat akin to Pfizer, easy to write, but for me, actually heavier to bear.
*** The picture refers to the Dunning-Kruger effect – referring to me being at the very bottom level at this time. (oh my goodness)”

Below are some of the comments on his post:

“We are required to obey the authorities… it’s beyond our control, doc… as ordinary citizens who didn’t know anything at the time, when seeing the news about Pfizer, yeah, quite disappointed… let Allah judge what has happened in the hereafter… but for sure after this I will never ever get any vaccine…”

“I don’t understand how doctors and other health staff can be so confident about the vaccine and not validate the voices of people who report being affected by the vaccine. It’s utterly heartless and very disappointing. After all, there are healthy individuals who suddenly die a day after the vaccine. It’s obviously dangerous… I also don’t understand how religious people, whose father or family members are affected by the vaccine, can still think positively and are not as vocal in criticizing the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine as they were in encouraging it before. They also remain silent on all the abuses committed against those who reject the vaccine. I think that’s one of the reasons why people reject any advice from such doctors or religious figures.”

“Do you guys want to know something? When they want to vaccinate you with a thousand guarantees and promises, you believe them. Then they apologize, and you believe them again. After apologizing, they need to publish an article or research, right? There, you believe that article too. ahahaha. That’s the difference between you and us who didn’t get vaccinated. We see it from the perspective of a culling program and implementation of evil that must continue. You see it as a medical mistake.”

Almost a Billion Voters in India Will Participate in the Largest Elections in Human History, a Test of Strength for PM Modi, Who Seeks a Third Term

Today (19), Millions of Indians began voting – and that’s a literal big deal. Indian elections are widely regarded as the largest in the world, both in terms of the number of voters and also the scale of the electoral process.

It involves nearly a billion voters, making it the largest democratic exercise in human history, and taking place over a period of six weeks, across different phases.

The 2024 general election in India is in many ways a referendum on Narendra Modi, a populist prime minister who presided over the renaissance of Hindu nationalist politics, and is seeking a rare third term as the country’s leader.

More than 10% of the world’s population will elect 543 members to the lower house of Parliament to serve five-year terms.

Associated Press reported:

“This election is seen as one of the most consequential in India’s history and will test the limits of Modi’s political dominance. If Modi wins, he’ll be only the second Indian leader to retain power for a third term, after Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first prime minister.

Most polls predict a win for Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party [BJP], who are up against a broad opposition alliance led by the Indian National Congress and powerful regional parties.”

The BJP controls the majority of India’s Hindi-speaking northern and central regions, and is now trying to gain a larger foothold in the east and south.

“The election comes after a decade of Modi’s leadership, during which the BJP has consolidated power through a combination of Hindu-first politics and economic development.

Modi has ratcheted up Hindu nationalist rhetoric on the campaign trail, and has sought to present himself as a global leader. His ministers tout him as the steward of a surging India, while his supporters celebrate his campaign promise to make India a developed nation by 2047, when it marks 100 years of independence.”

India’s economy is presently one of the world’s fastest-growing, but many of its people still live in poverty.

The opposition alliance want to reach voters on issues like unemployment, inflation, corruption and low agricultural prices.

“The opposition, and critics, also warn that Modi has turned increasingly illiberal. They accuse Modi of using tax authorities and the police to harass the opposition, and fear that a third term could undermine India’s democracy. His Hindu nationalist politics, they argue, has bred intolerance and threatens the country’s secular roots.”

Modi is very popular among India’s 1.4 billion people, and is targeting a two-thirds majority for his BJP party this time, hoping for a landslide win powered by its popular welfare programs.

The construction of the temple to Ram on the site of a demolished mosque (that has been erected over a Hindu temple in the first place) fanned the flames of a reborn Hindu nationalism, resonating with supporters who hail him as the champion of the Hindu majority.

American-Born Russell ‘Texas’ Bentley Reportedly Dead – Pro-Russia Fighter Turned War Correspondent Vanished in Donetsk 11 Days Ago

American-born Sputnik correspondent Russell ‘Texas’ Bentley, died at the age of 64, his wife Lyudmila confirmed to the Russian news site.

Bentley went missing in Donetsk city on April 8, following a Ukrainian artillery attack on the city’s Petrovsky district. Four days later, the DPR Ministry of Internal Affairs put him on a missing persons list.

Bentley has been covering Russia’s special military operation zone as a war correspondent.

‘Texas’ joined the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) militia as a fighter in 2014, resisting the Ukrainian forces and Nazi Azov militants, having later become a war correspondent.

While Russian sources (and authorities) have yet to confirm the cause of his reported death, he is feared to have been the latest journalist targeted for retaliation by Kiev’s services, like Daria Dugina, killed in a car bomb, Vladlem Tatarsky, killed with a ‘gift bomb’, or the American Gonzalo Lira, who died in a Ukrainian cell after reportedly being denied medical attention.

After retiring from military service in Donbas, Bentleу turned to humanitarian aid work and journalism. He converted to Russian Orthodox Christianity and, in 2021, received Russian citizenship.

Bentley began contributing to Sputnik International in October 2023, publishing numerous video reports and columns that provided Westerners with an inside look at life in the Donbas.

Eleven days ago, he disappeared in mysterious circumstances in Donetsk city.

Mash in Donbas reported (translated from the Russian):

“The police are looking for an American who disappeared after shelling in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk.

On Monday, Russell Bentley and his wife came to the executive committee to re-register documents. While we were standing in line, we saw a huge column of smoke after the arrival. Russell rushed to help the locals and soon stopped communicating. According to the wife, at that moment she became worried and went to the place herself.

‘There I found only my husband’s car, in which were his baseball cap, glasses and a broken phone. The investigator has already opened a missing person case – they are looking for Bentley. If you saw him or know anything, be sure to notify the police’.”

Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of Sputnik’s parent media group Rossiya Segodnya – and herself targeted by Ukrainian services – expressed her condolences:

“Russell Bentley, also known as Texas, a real American from Texas, died in Donetsk. He fought there for our people. Collaborated with our Sputnik. Terrible. R.I.P….”

Kansas City Police Under Scrutiny for Releasing an Alleged Child Predator Despite Admission of Possessing Child Pornography on Phone (VIDEO)

Screenshot: Alex Rosen/X

Kansas City Police Department in Missouri is facing intense public scrutiny following a viral video, posted by independent journalist Alex Rosen, showing officers releasing a man after he allegedly admitted to possessing child pornography on his phone.

In the video, Rosen confronts the situation with visible frustration as he narrates the unfolding event.

He claimed that the Kansas City Police allowed a sexual predator, who is currently on parole for child pornography charges, to walk free even after the individual admitted to possessing illicit content on his phone. The male officer involved in the incident did not identify himself.

Rosen is overheard in the video expressing disbelief: “Kansas City Police is letting this sex offender go because they said they can’t take his phone, even though he admitted to having child pornography on it. They’re just going to let him go.”

WATCH:

Kansas City Police just let a pedophile (WHO IS ON PAROLE FOR CHILD PORN) walk after he admitted TO THEM there was child porn on his phone…

The male officer wouldn’t even identify himself. @kcpolice @KCKPDChief This yall you fuckin clowns? pic.twitter.com/isRRz1ppAE

— Alex Rosen (@iFightForKids) April 18, 2024

A female officer accused Rosen of sensationalizing the incident for social media likes.

“Yeah, it’s all about likes. Definitely has nothing to do with you guys doing your fucking job when it’s regarding a literal child molester,” Rosen wrote on Twitter.

Watch the heated exchange:

Here’s one of the officers claiming we’re doing this for likes.

“At the end they finally got the phone, only because he willingly gave it up. We’re not going to let you forget that you originally weren’t even going to seize the phone. You changed your tune when I started making a scene. Better believe we’re requesting all those body/dash cams too,” Rosen wrote.

Following the public outcry, Rosen updated his followers, indicating that the Kansas City Police had reached out to him to collect the evidence.

Former Fox Corp journalist Breanna Morello reached out to the Kansas City Police Department for an official statement regarding the incident. The department’s response acknowledged the ongoing investigation:

“…Officers on scene received information of possible sexually explicit content involving minors on a cellphone.

Officers alerted detectives in our Special Investigations Division – Vice Unit who advised officers how to proceed.

Officers recovered the cellphone for investigation and examination by detectives.
This is an active investigation and detectives will submit the results and evidence to the prosecutors office for consideration of applicable charges.

The remainder of your questions would be part of the on-going investigation which would not be publicly available information per Missouri Sunshine Law 610.100.”

‘The EU Leadership Has Got to Go’: Hungarian PM Orbán Kicks off Campaign for European Elections With a Call to ‘Occupy Brussels’

Europe is reeling in the run-up to the European Parliament elections that are set to take place on June 6-9.

Polls all over the old continent predict a huge advance for the right-wing, nationalist and populist forces – leaving the liberal-Globalist regimes in a state of near-panic, trying to find ways to rig the vote.

Conservative champion, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán today (19) painted a grim picture of a continent teetering on the edge of armed conflict if the present European leadership retains power.

In a speech opening his party’s campaign for the EU elections, Orbán called for a ‘changing of the guard’ among the bloc’s leaders.

He spoke to members of his Fidesz party at a closed-door event in Hungary’s capital Budapest.

He torched the EU leadership, that he called ‘an oppressive force’ that had made its member countries active participants in the war in Ukraine.

Read: Hungary’s Orbán Calls the European Union a ‘Bad Contemporary Parody’ of the Soviet Union

Associated Press reported:

“’They see the war as their own war, and they fight it as if it’s their own war’, Orbán said of EU leaders. No EU country has engaged its soldiers in the war in Ukraine.

‘The leadership in Brussels has to go’, Orbán said. ‘It does not deserve another chance. There must be change in Brussels’.”

The long-serving Hungarian PM faces challenges as the recent resignations of senior Hungarian officials after corruption scandals, and an underperforming economy.

Billions or Euros in funding have been withheld by the EU from Hungary over ‘rule-of-law and corruption concerns’: a.k.a. not bowing down to the Globalist agenda.

Read: EPIC Hungary’s Orbán on EU ‘Blackmail’: ‘There Is Not Enough Money in the World To Force Us To Accept Mass Migration and To Put Our Children in the Hands of LGBTQ Activists’

“Orbán’s speech, which lasted around 15 minutes, relied heavily on themes he has campaigned on for years: a rejection of immigration, hostility to LGBTQ+ rights and claims that the EU has sought to impose its will on Hungary.

‘We must occupy Brussels, push aside the Brussels bureaucrats and take matters into our own hands’, he said to applause.”

Having ruled Hungary for 14 years, Orbán is critical of governments that supply Ukraine with money and weapons to assist in the war.

He calls these countries ‘pro war’, and portrays his government as the only one in the EU that favors peace.

“If the EU’s current leadership remains, the manifesto reads, ‘Europe will be plunged into war, migration waves will destroy European nations, and gender propaganda will ruin the future of our children’.”

NEW: Jurors Unable to Return Verdict in Murder Trial For Arizona Rancher George Alan Kelly


George Alan Kelly

A jury on Friday was deadlocked and unable to return a unanimous verdict in the murder trial for Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly.

George Kelly, the Arizona rancher who was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault for defending his wife and property from illegal invaders went on trial last month.

Kelly, 75, was arrested for killing Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, on his Arizona ranch in Kino Springs just outside of Nogales, Mexico on January 30, 2023.

According to reports, Gabriel Cuen-Butimea has a history of illegally crossing into the United States and multiple deportations.

According to the defense lawyers, Mr. Kelly fired warning shots after he saw a group of men dressed in camouflaged clothing point an AK-47 right at him.

George Alan Kelly was careful to shoot above their heads, the lawyers said.

The rancher later discovered the deceased illegal alien, who is likely a cartel smuggler, when he went to go check on his horse.

Kelly was initially charged with first-degree murder, but a judge recently downgraded his charge to  second-degree murder during an evidentiary hearing in court.

Kelly’s defense attorney Brenna Larkin told jurors that her client “was in a life or death situation.”

Jurors deliberated on Thursday and were unable to reach a verdict. Deliberations continued on Friday and after more than 7 hours the jury sent a note to the judge and informed him they could not reach a verdict.

Jury deliberations will resume on Monday.

AZ Central reported:

A jury was unable to reach a verdict on Friday afternoon in the trial of a Nogales-area rancher charged with killing an unarmed migrant crossing his 170-acre property.

After more than seven hours of deliberation, the jury sent a note to Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge Thomas Fink saying jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict. The judge asked them to continue deliberating and offered for them to leave early Friday and return on Monday.

Rancher George Alan Kelly, 75, faces one count of second-degree murder in the death of Gabriel Cuen Buitimea and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after being accused of putting another man, Daniel Ramirez, in danger as they were crossing his 170-acre spread near the international border.

With Both His Father the King and Wife Kate Undergoing Cancer Treatments, William the Prince of Wales Returns to His Public Duties

Britain’s Prince William has returned to his public duties.

Writing that feels like this story has moved in a distressing loop, because back in February, we wrote exactly that here at TGP: With King Charles Treated for Cancer, His Wife Kate Recovering From Surgery, Britain’s Prince William Is Back on Public Duty, Carrying the Torch for the Royal Family.

But then, the Kingdom’s obsession with the Royals showed its ugliest face as the rumors swirled with unprecedented violence: Grave Sickness, Affair and Divorce, ‘Brazilian Butt Lift’? Britain’s Prince William and Princess Kate Face the Rumor Mill Going into Overdrive.

Not only that but crimes were being committed in furtherance of society’s ‘Kate mania’: UK ROYAL SECURITY SCANDAL: Hospital Staff in Posh London Clinic Attempted to Access Princess Kate Middleton’s Private Medical Records.

So, in early April, finally, the Princess of Wales had to come out and show us live that her real (and Royal) life is no fairy tale.

She recorded a video announcement disclosing and detailing her cancer treatment in a very dignified way that moved the Kingdom and the world.

Leak of Her Cancer Diagnosis Forced Princess Kate To Reveal Her Medical Condition to the World

A little over two weeks later, we come full circle, as William returned to public duties for the first time since his wife Kate revealed she was undergoing chemotherapy to treat cancer.

Reuters reported:

"William, 41, has been absent from official engagements since then as the couple and their three young children come to terms with the impact of the news.

Although he and his eldest son Prince George were pictured watching their favorite soccer team Aston Villa play last week, Thursday marked the first time William carried out official public appearances since Kate's highly-personal announcement.

He appeared in good spirits as he chatted and helped out staff on a visit to a surplus food redistribution charity. One volunteer handed him 'get well soon' cards for Kate and his father King Charles who is also undergoing treatment for an unspecified form of cancer."

The Prince of Wales later visited a youth centre which received regular deliveries from the charity.

No timescale has been divulged on when his wife Kate will return to public duties herself.

REPORT: Man Who Set Himself on Fire Outside Trump Trial is a Trump-Hater and Supporter of Obama, Sanders

Max Azzarello, the 37-year-old “anarcho-communist” from Florida who set himself on fire outside former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial, has been identified as a vehement Trump critic and a supporter of prominent Democratic politicians Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders.

According to eyewitness accounts, Azzarello removed his jacket, doused himself with a flammable substance, and set himself on fire. The harrowing moment was captured on video.

Moments before the self-immolation, Azzarello was seen distributing colorful pamphlets, some of which led to a Substack page titled, “I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.”

The content of the scattered papers matched posts on Azzarello’s Instagram page, which was still publicly viewable at the time of this report.

Further investigation into Azzarello’s background has unveiled his disdain for Donald Trump.

His Instagram account features a post denouncing the former president and showing support for prominent Democratic figures like Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders.

In a particularly scathing highlight post labeled “Lies we say,” Azzarello chastised liberal media consumers for not outright rejecting Trump.

“What?? Don’t f—king resist Donald Trump! REJECT Donald Trump. Laugh at the rotten farce of an idea of Donald Trump having any power over you. F—kin duh,” Azzarallo wrote.

Screenshot: Instagram

In the days leading up to the catastrophic event, Azzarello was seen outside the courthouse with a sign stating, “Trump is with Biden and they’re about to fascist coup us.”

His social media also includes a sticker image about Obama and a photo of him wearing a Bernie Sanders-themed “Eat the Rich” T-shirt.

Further connecting Azzarello’s political affiliations, Mike Crispi, a reporter, has unearthed Federal Election Commission (FEC) data indicating Azzarello’s monetary contributions to ActBlue and the Sanders 2020 campaign.

Hairy-Chested Trans Mayor in California Booted from Office Amid Soaring Homelessness and Crime – Previously Called Recall Effort Transphobic

Credit: Calexico Mayor Raul Ureña/Facebook

Residents of a California border town have kicked their woke trans mayor out of office amid the city’s struggles with serious social issues.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this week that 26-year-old Calexico mayor Raul Ureña, the first trans mayor in the Golden State, was facing a serious recall effort from residents fed-up with his so-called leadership. Calexico is a small, heavily Hispanic city in southern Imperial County that sits on the border of Mexico and California.

Calexico has experienced rampant crime rates and the emergence of homeless encampments. Ureña’s reign has left the downtown area in distress.

While a biological male, Ureña identifies as a transgender woman and uses she/they pronouns. He stopped using traditional suits as office attire in favor of low-cut dresses that showcase a still-hairy chest.

Ureña has described himself as “sexy as hell” on various occasions, according to the New York Post.

Now, he is probably feeling a little less self-confident. The Daily Mail revealed that nearly 74 percent of voters voted to recall Ureña on April 16, a massive landslide victory for sanity.

The news only got better when another radical-left Calexico politician also got the boot. The Daily Mail revealed Councilmember Gilberto Manzanarez, a supporter of Ureña, saw 73 percent of voters vote in favor of his recall.

4,933 total votes were cast in the recall, according to the outlet. What makes the landslide numbers against Ureña and Manzanarez more impressive is Republicans only make up 27 percent of the heavily Democrat city’s population.

58-year-old Maritza Hurtado, who worked as the former mayor for Calexico, led the recall of both Ureña and Manzanarez. She recently detailed a heartbreaking encounter on Facebook with a local business owner that was receiving no help despite the presence of drugged-up individuals hanging around her place of work.

I met another Calexico Downtown business owner yesterday who showed me these videos and, with tears in her eyes, asked, “What can we do?” These videos show two people in front of her store who are hunched over in a “zombie state” and frozen for a half hour! She got no help from the city.

I told her, ‘We are going to organize and push for a safer downtown TOGETHER.” I honor all my fellow downtown merchants who are struggling thru this nightmare situation, We have work to do! Vote YES on Recall!!! Vote SI.’

In response to the righteous backlash, Ureña refused to accept responsibility for his failures. Instead, he whipped out the transphobia card as the real reason behind the recall, citing alleged personal attacks and photos meant to discredit him.

“Predictable transphobia,” he whined.

Ureña also worried he might be more vulnerable if not in an elected position due to his “identity.”

“I might even be more vulnerable if I’m not in an elected position where people have elected me to represent a lot of people who don’t identify as LGBT,” he said.

US to Build First Nuclear Warhead in 40 Years

Two top Biden administration officials told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday that the U.S. will be building its first nuclear warhead in 40 years and will do so without any nuclear testing.

Recent Focus Groups Suggest That NO ONE Likes Kamala Harris or Wants Her to Take Over

No one wants Kamala Harris to run for president, or to take over for Joe Biden, recent focus groups in Arizona and California have confirmed.

Who could possibly listen to that wretched laugh or listen to her incomprehensible word salads for four years.

This confirms something that the Democrats have been struggling with for months now. Harris is even less popular than Joe Biden. This is why she can’t ride in to their rescue in the 2024 election.

FOX News reports:

Focus group of voters offer ‘brutal’ take of VP Harris: Not ‘someone I want running my country’

Multiple voter focus groups in Arizona have weighed in on Vice President Harris ahead of the November election, and their responses reinforced the notion that she’s an unpopular candidate, according to a report in The Los Angeles Times.

Days after Harris spoke in Arizona on April 12, the political group “Republican Voters Against Trump” invited the outlet to view videos of interviews with three different voter focus groups: one of former Trump 2016 voters who voted for Biden in 2020, one of Black voters who are disappointed with Biden, and another of “California Democrats.”

The Times reported the crossover voters’ views, stating, “Their assessments were brutal. If she is helping Biden, you don’t see it. She rubs me the wrong way. She was picked because she is a demographic. The big things she had, she failed.”…

The other two groups, while less antagonistic towards Harris, were not complimentary of her. “In a focus group of Black voters who were disappointed with Biden, none raised their hand in support of Harris, with one participant calling her ‘the bad news bear,’” the report noted.

This woman, who does an amazing impression of Harris, imagined what an Oval Office address from her might sound like.

Well, time for a chuckle. And who better to laugh at than #KamalaHarris pic.twitter.com/quggyD9lNh

— ElsaKurt_Official (@elsakurtshow) April 17, 2024

It’s a funny impression, but it’s still horrifying to think of Harris being in charge.

Revealed: Biden Has Taken 200 Actions to Increase Gas Prices – We Highlight Top 3

The cost of gasoline has skyrocketed under President Joe Biden, but he has been utterly unmindful of the burden he is putting on the American people because of his concerted war against oil, a war he proudly announced he would initiate if he won the White House.

Indeed, the war on the American energy industry is just one of the many ideological promises hurting America he made during his 2020 campaign that he has kept while in office.

As Americans suffer through Bidenomics, giving us one of the worst economies in decades, the cost of everything we need for our daily lives has soared. Gasoline has been a particular burden throughout Biden’s four years and prices have skyrocketed roughly 14 percent just over the last few months, ABC News reported.

Of the last three presidents, gas has been most expensive during Biden’s term. Forbes reported that the average price per gallon during Trump’s term was $2.57 a gallon. Obama’s was $3.12 in his first term and $2.95 in his second. By comparison, Biden’s average thus far was $3.60 as of early March.

But the price per gallon for gas is just one of the many problems Joe Biden has created for Americans with his war on the U.S. oil industry.

Biden has taken at least 200 actions to restrict or otherwise harm American energy independence since taking office, according to Just the News.

The actions were detailed in a report by the Institute for Energy Research that found that Biden has made it much harder for American companies to produce oil and gas products.

“President Biden and Democrats have a plan for American energy: make it harder to produce and more expensive to purchase,” the report said. “Since Mr. Biden took office, his administration and its allies have taken over 200 actions deliberately designed to make it harder to produce energy here in America.”

The study noted three of the more far-reaching attacks Biden has conducted on the U.S. oil and gas industry.

One of the very first things he did when he took office, for instance, was to shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, an action that eliminated thousands of American jobs. And he took that move even as he supported a pipeline being built in Russia.

He also declared that every acre of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would be off-limits to oil and natural gas leasing activities. This took a huge field of energy resources off the table just as prices started to soar when he took office.

The third destructive move he made early in his presidency was to revoke Trump’s executive order that decreased burdensome regulations on the American energy sector.

But these three disastrous moves were far from the only ones he implemented when he entered the White House.

He also issued a series of moratoriums on new gas and oil leases on public lands, imposed a suite of onerous new regulations on the industry, and forced companies to take him to court to honor the leases they already had. And he is also threatening to slam the gasoline industry with an additional $110 billion in taxes on oil, natural gas and coal.

All of this has sent the cost of producing domestic energy soaring.

Then there has been his draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve , an act that has actually put our national security at risk.

“President Biden had the chance to top up the SPR when prices were still low during the pandemic, but anti-oil-and-gas ideologues within the administration couldn’t bear to do anything that would help out producers when demand was low,” said Kathleen Sgamma, president of Western Energy Alliance.

Not only that, she added, Biden then drained it “for political reasons and it’s long overdue to fill the SPR back up. Like many other politically driven decisions from this administration that distort energy markets, the government will have to spend more taxpayer money than if it had rational energy policies.”

These attacks on our energy independence make us more dependent on our enemies abroad, including Russia, Saudi Arabia and other anti-American oil-producing states. And it puts our national security at risk more than ever.

Trump had the right policy by cutting burdensome regulations, lowering taxes and inviting U.S. energy companies to explore for and drill for more oil and natural gas, thereby making us an energy-independent nation — and even a net exporter of oil — and putting us on our own two feet to ensure our national security.

Remember this when you are voting in November. A vote for Joe Biden is a vote to drive up our costs, tear down our energy industry and put us at the mercy of our enemies.

OUCH: Trump Denies Former CNN Host Brian Stelter Press Credentials, Tells Him to Apply for General Admission Ticket Instead

By: Ben Kew

The notorious left-wing media propagandist Brian Stelter just cannot catch a break.

After being let go by CNN and recently complaining about how people still compare him to a baked potato, Stelter was recently denied press credentials to Trump campaign events.

Vanity Fair reports:

In recent weeks, the campaign has taken similar punitive measures against other reporters, according to multiple sources familiar with the moves. An Axios reporter had their credentials approved for an event and then revoked the same day, following the publication of a story about the Trump-led Republican National Committee’s struggles in swing states. (An Axios spokesperson declined to comment.) At least one other Post reporter was temporarily denied press credentials to multiple events after accurately reporting on Trump’s public statements. Most recently, Brian Stelter, a special correspondent for Vanity Fair, was denied press access to Trump’s rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

Reporters who’ve been iced out in recent weeks have not been banned outright from events; they can still go as a member of the public, but that requires getting to rallies much earlier, which could be a deal breaker for some journalists given their busy schedules. “It’s harder for people to accuse them of shutting out reporters because it’s pockets of people, and it’s typically temporary,” said one political reporter. And it’s not just events, they added. “If they’re pissed off about a story, they won’t talk to you for a week or two.” I spoke with a number of reporters for this story who declined to discuss the dynamic with the campaign out of a fear of losing access.

In a statement provided to the publication, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung pushed back against suggestions that the campaign were denying access to said events, urging them to apply for general admission tickets instead:

Nobody has been denied any access to our events. If reporters want to cover our events but are unable to secure a coveted press badge, they are more than welcome to apply for general admission tickets in order to experience our events. Throughout this campaign, we have been the most press-friendly and accessible [campaign] in modern history. We have flown reporters on Trump Force One, let them live stream from inside our motorcades, and given access that has never been granted during legal days. We don’t let petty differences get in the way of using the media to get our message out.

However, there have been certain reporters who have engaged in unethical conduct or breached basic journalistic standards of sharing privileged information to other campaigns and individuals… Unfortunately for those people, they can never be trusted again and will never be given the benefit of the doubt on this campaign or when we return to the White House.

Sadly for Stelter, it appears that he is one of them. He will either have to apply for a general admission ticket or risk missing out altogether.

Watch: Rand Paul Holds Mayorkas’ Feet to the Fire Regarding Laken Riley’s Suspected Killer, Swats Down Excuses

One day after Senate Democrats squashed the House Republican effort to remove Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas from office, GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky held Mayorkas’ feet to the fire during a Senate hearing, making him squirm in his seat.

On Wednesday, Democratic senators shut down the impeachment proceedings initiated last week by the Republican-controlled House over Mayorkas’ handling of immigration and border security.

On Thursday, during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, Paul masterfully laid bare the utter disregard for the law Mayorkas has shown in his time as homeland security secretary in a systematic and deliberate line of questioning without accusing or raising his voice.

The senator first asked Mayorkas what the criteria for paroling someone from detention was.

Mayorkas replied that the parole process, according to the law, involved “individualized determinations with respect to significant public benefit or an urgent humanitarian reason.”

“So for what reason was the alleged killer of Laken Riley, Jose Ibarra, paroled and allowed to come into this country?” Paul shot back.

Paul was, of course, referring to the high-profile case of a Georgia college student who was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant.

Mayorkas refused to answer based on the fact the case is currently being prosecuted.

“You’re refusing to give any specifics about Jose Ibarra?” the senator said. “Well, I have the documentation, and the document says that the parole, the subject, the person accused of killing Laken Riley, was paroled due to detention capacity — it was full.

“So is detention capacity statutorily allowed to be used as a reasoning for parole?”

Mayorkas acknowledged that people were paroled because of a lack of beds for those encountered at the border, causing Paul to quickly retort, “You might have more beds if they remained in Mexico.”

The senator noted that the Biden administration had reversed “92 executive orders of the Trump administration which allowed them to apparently have people remain in Mexico, allowed them to have, you know, probably 90 percent less parolees than you have.”

“When you come to us and say, ‘Oh gosh, if we only had more legislation, we could do it,’ why don’t you bring back the executive orders of Donald Trump that seemed to be working? You immediately got rid of them for political purposes. The border is a disaster. Why don’t you bring back the 92 executive orders that you reversed?” he demanded.

The fiery exchange escalated as Paul listed other recent crimes allegedly perpetrated by illegal immigrants, including the killings of a Washington state trooper and a Michigan woman.

“I think a lot of people in America are going to be appalled, you know, that you refuse to answer the questions,” he said.

When asked about Ibarra’s unlawful entry, Mayorkas deflected again, saying that criminal perpetrators “need to be held accountable for their crimes.”

“Well, that’s not much consolation if you wait until after he’s murdered somebody,” Paul retorted.

The senator then went on to explain to Mayorkas the major flaws in how the Department of Homeland Security screens and processes migrants who are paroled into the United States — the most crucial of which is that DHS relies heavily on the “honor system,” i.e., just taking migrants at their word for their name and background information.

Paul pointed out that when migrants arrive at the border and claim to be from a country such as Venezuela, DHS has no real way to verify that is their true identity or country of origin because “most domestic crimes in Venezuela probably are not in any kind of international database.”

“So if you waltz into the country through your generous parole programs and say, ‘I’m John Smith from Venezuela,’ you have no way of ascertaining that,” he said. “You still let them go. So you say, ‘Well we’re going to make sure that they’re not a violent criminal.’ You have no way.”

What’s even worse, Paul pointed out that when DHS does collect biometric data such as fingerprints from paroled migrants, since their identities were not properly vetted initially, the agency is essentially just issuing them a new official identity in the United States.

“You look in some databases, maybe they’re not in the database, but you have no way of even knowing that that’s their name. Then you give them biometrics … you give them fingerprints, now they have a new name and fingerprints, they essentially have been given a new identity by your agency,” he said.

Today, I confronted Mayorkas over the damage inflicted upon America and the families who have tragically lost loved ones due to the abject failure of the Biden administration’s border policies. https://t.co/q2ejsC69NV

— Rand Paul (@RandPaul) April 18, 2024

Hearing the senator speak, I had the feeling that if a person from another country, completely unaware of our laws, saw the process, he or she would be convinced that the DHS was hoping for an attack on American soil.

To pretend to “vet” people by taking their word for who they are after they have just broken your laws by entering your country illegally is already ludicrous.

But then Mayorkas’ department takes it a step further by collecting fingerprints without first properly vetting migrants’ stated identities, effectively issuing them new official identities in the U.S. based on unverified information.

As Paul bluntly put it, the agency is just “giving a new identity” to these migrants.

It’s no wonder 90 percent of migrants are now turning themselves in to U.S. authorities instead of trying to escape them, according to Bloomberg.

It’s like the Biden administration has put up a sign: If you’re looking for a new start to get away from your criminal past, come to America. We’ll give you a new identity and a ticket to a city of your choice so that you can start all over again.

“I’m just so sickened and sad by the families of lost loved ones from this,” Paul said in conclusion. “I don’t see real remorse. I don’t see you willing to answer the questions. I mean, if it were me, I would be so upset by this, I would be doing everything possible to make sure another Jose Ibarra doesn’t get in.”

He concluded by saying, “All I can express is disappointment and bewilderment that the Democrats let you get away with it.”

Senator, you are not alone.

POWDER KEG AFRICA: US Troops Will Leave Niger in a Blow to Counterterrorism and Security Policy in the Sahel Region

The saga of the geopolitical realignment in the African Sahel region seems far from over.

After a string of coups ushered a number of military juntas into power in Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso, the power and influence of the Western powers – notably France and the US – crumbled at a rapid pace.

After Emmanuel Macron’s France was forced to withdraw all his troops from the Sahel nations, in a major humiliation for the post-colonial power, now it’s time for the American forces to also depart Niger, in a considerable setback for its counterterrorism and security policy in the tumultuous Sahel region of Africa.

It has been reported that US sources have admitted that more than 1,000 American military personnel will leave Niger in the coming months.

The void left by the departure of the Western powers has been filled by Russia.

In a meeting in Washington, State Department officials told Niger’s prime minister, Ali Lamine Zeineof, of the US disagreement with the country’s turn toward Russia for security and also for considering Iran for a deal on its uranium reserves.

New York Times reported:

“The decision was not a particular surprise. Niger said last month that it was revoking its military cooperation deal with the United States following a highly contentious set of meetings in Niger’s capital, Niamey, with a high-level American diplomatic and military delegation.

That move was in keeping with a recent pattern by countries in the Sahel region, an arid area south of the Sahara, of breaking ties with Western countries. Increasingly, they are partnering with Russia instead. American diplomats have sought in the past several weeks to salvage a revamped military cooperation deal with Niger’s military government, U.S. officials said, but in the end they failed to strike a compromise.”

The presence of the US troops was amply rejected by the population. Protesters in the capital have been calling for the withdrawal of military personnel – only days after Russia delivered its own set of military equipment and instructors to the country’s military.

Discussions were held with Niger to plan out an ‘orderly and responsible withdrawal’ of forces in the coming days, a process that will take months to complete.

“Many of the Americans posted to Niger are stationed at U.S. Air Base 201, a six-year-old, $110 million installation in the country’s desert north. But since the military coup that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum and installed the junta last July, the troops there have been inactive, with most of their MQ-9 Reaper drones grounded except those flying surveillance missions to protect the U.S. troops.

It is unclear what access, if any, the United States will have to the base in the future, and whether Russian advisers and perhaps even Russian air forces will move in if Niger’s relations with the Kremlin deepen. Because of the coup, the United States had to suspend security operations and development aid to Niger. Mr. Bazoum is still under arrest, eight months after he was ousted. Nevertheless, the United States had wanted to maintain its partnership with the country.”

One hundred Russian instructors and an air-defense system arrived in Niger this past week in a sudden move that disrupted cooperation in the short term.

“The demonstrators in Niamey […] waved Russian flags as well as those of Burkina Faso and Mali, two neighboring countries where military-led governments have also called in Russian assistance to help fight insurgents affiliated with the Islamic State and Al Qaeda.”

The Defense Department is trying to establish new drone bases in a coastal West African country. Talks are still in the early stages.

FBI Serves Subpoenas at City Hall of America’s “Worst Mayor” Tiffany Henyard

Mayor Tiffany Henyard of Dolton, Illinois, speaks to President Joe Biden.

The Gateway Pundit reported that 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.

According to Dolton citizens, Henyard uses local police to target businesses that don’t contribute to her.

She has also been accused of stealing charitable funds and even using taxpayer dollars for personal use.

No wonder residents call her the “worst mayor in America.”

A May 2023 taxpayer-funded trip to Las Vegas that resulted in allegations of serious misconduct and claims that Henyard retaliated against an aide and a police officer who reported alleged sexual misconduct on the part of a village trustee, is also part of the investigation.

In March, Henyard reportedly vetoed an investigation, unanimously approved by The Dolton Village Board, into allegations that she misused funds for lavish expenses and a costly $1 million security detail.

A group of Dolton trustees recently hired failed former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who let her city burn with rampant crime and violence, to investigate Henyard for a hefty $400 an-hour fee.

Now, Fox 32 Chicago reports that on Friday, the FBI served subpoenas at the Dolton City Hall:

“I can confirm that the FBI was conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity in that area today. Department of Justice policy prevents the FBI from commenting on the nature of any investigation that may be occurring. There is no further information available for release at this time,” the FBI said in a statement.

Four agents from the FBI paid a visit to Dolton around 2:30 p.m. They served two federal subpoenas. The first one was for employment records, personnel files, and disciplinary reports for 25 Dolton employees, including three police officers and Keith Freeman. Freeman, who is the village administrator, was charged with bankruptcy fraud on Monday.

The second subpoena was served specifically for Freeman, asking for records of all companies associated with him and possible ties to the village.

On Friday night, Mayor Henyard released a statement via Facebook saying, “To all you clowns thats apart of the circus. Misery needs company, I pray for you all. Stop chasing Fake News.”

She then included a screenshot suggesting the FBI’s statement, and reports from multiple news outlets, is “fake news.”

“America Last, America Last! – That’s All This Is – Every Single Day!”- MTG Delivers Speech for the Ages Prior to Ukraine War Funding Vote (VIDEO)

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered a speech for the ages in defense of the American working class on Saturday morning before the Ukraine war funding vote in the US House of Representatives.

MTG is a rare voice in Congress who actually defends the American working class from the uniparty regime.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.

House leader: The clerk will designate the amendment.

House Clerk: Amendment number 2, print it in part B of House Report number 118-466, offered by Ms. Green of Georgia. Pursuant to House Resolution 1160, the gentlewoman from Georgia, Ms. Green and a member opposed. Each will control five minutes. The chair now recognizes the gentlewoman from Georgia.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My amendment today would drive the amendment, the bill for Ukraine, take each dollar amount in this act, is hereby reduced to zero.

You see, the United States’ taxpayer has already sent $113 billion to Ukraine, and a lot of that money is unaccounted for. This is a continuance of a sick business model that the American government continues. The federal government continues to fund the military-industrial complex This is a business model that requires Congress to continue to vote for money, to continue to fund foreign wars. This is a business model the American people do not support. They don’t support a business model built on blood and murder and war in foreign countries, while this very government does nothing to secure our border. The American people are over $34 trillion in debt, and the debt is rising by over $40 billion every single night while we all sleep. But yet nothing is done to secure our border or reduce our debt.

Inflation has driven out of control. Americans are suffering every single day. They can hardly afford their grocery bills. They can hardly afford gas in their car. They can hardly afford rent. Now, mortgage payments are well over $3,000, where they were only just over $1,700 three years ago.

The youngest generation, young adults, don’t even think going to be able to buy a home in their lifetime. Today in Congress, the most important thing that this body thinks should be done is to send another $61 billion to a war in Ukraine that the American people by 70% do not support. Mind you, this comes on the very heels of Monday being April 15th, Tax Day, where every single American had to scrounge up their money and send their dollars in to the IRS, or some of them had to file extensions because they weren’t ready and didn’t have the money to pay their taxes. But today this body says the most important thing we can do, no, is not reduce spending. That’s not it. Not to do anything to drive down inflation. Oh, no, we can’t do that for the American people. It’s not to secure our own border that is invaded every single day, every single day by people from over 160 different countries. No, don’t secure the American border. Let everyone in. We have over 1.8 million known God aways. We don’t know who these people are. And yet you have members of this body Talking big and tough about, Oh, we have to defeat Russia.

Oh, we have to protect Ukraine. But yet all of you are unwilling to protect the American citizens that pay your paycheck, pay the light bills in this building, and pay for this entire federal government. For what? For nothing.

Ukraine is not even a member of NATO. Ukraine is not a member of NATO. But the most important thing you hear in Washington, DC, is, ‘Oh, we have to spend Americans hard-earned tax dollars over to Ukraine and keep the money going to continue to murder Ukrainians, wipe out an entire generation of Ukrainian men so that they are widows, they are fatherless orphans, there are not enough men to work in their industries.’ Oh, but you really support Ukraine. Wow, what support is that? It’s repulsive. You know, shame on the American government. Shame on the American government. If we support our military, support our military. We should be funded to build up our weapons and ammunition, not to send it over to foreign countries to kill foreign peoples. If this body was worth what it claims to be what it is, every single one of us would be demanding peace in Ukraine between these countries, peace for these people so that no more of them have to die.

But you never hear anybody demanding peace. No, no, no, no. Peace is the last thing Washington wants because it doesn’t fit the business model. This is a business model that they say continues our economy protects American jobs. What a disgusting business model. We should have a business model that builds up our American companies and American jobs to serve American interests and our military and our government should care about protecting the national security of the United States of America and the Americans that pay their hard-earned tax dollars to fund all of this. America last. America last. That’s all this is. Every single day, America last.

House clerk: Generalwoman’s time has expired.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: I yield.

The House then immediately voted down her Ukraine bill in a voice vote. They wouldn’t even go on record with their vote.

They want their wars.

Bill Maher Exposes Hollywood ‘Ped*phile’ Culture in Fiery On-Air Segment (VIDEO)

Screenshot: Real Time with Bill Maher/X

In a riveting segment of HBO’s “Real Time” on Friday, host Bill Maher took a bold stance against the pervasive culture of exploitation and sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry, specifically targeting the treatment of child actors within networks such as Nickelodeon and Disney.

Bill Maher took aim at both Nickelodeon and Disney, linking them to recent allegations of child abuse and exploitation highlighted in the Max documentary, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.”

“Nickelodeon, it wasn’t a studio. It was Neverland Ranch with craft services,” Maher lamented on his show, comparing the children’s network to the infamous residence of Michael Jackson.

“It is just scene after scene, clip after clip of the child stars of their day being subjected to obviously inappropriate, highly sexualized degradation and quite a few pickles going through glory holes. I was grossed out,” he said.

Maher called out the industry for turning a blind eye to such issues when politically inconvenient.

“It also exposed hypocrisy because it must be pointed out that when the ‘evil governor of Florida‘ was saying the exact same thing about kids and creepy stuff at Disney that liberals now find went intolerable at Nickelodeon, he was dismissed as a hick and a bigot.”

Maher cited past incidents, referring to a 2014 CNN report that uncovered a disturbing number of Disney employees arrested for sex crimes against children and the public confessions of former child stars like Allison Stoner and Cole Sprouse, who spoke out about the sexualization they faced.

“The reason we find pedophiles in the Boy Scouts, the rectory, and kids’ TV is that’s where the kids are. DeSantis wasn’t wrong. The left will overlook child f***ing if the guy from the wrong party calls it out,” Maher said, pointing out the double standards in Hollywood and the political sphere.

He criticized the hiring of Brian Peck by Disney after the former Nickelodeon actor served prison time for molestation charges.

“After Brian Peck, who was one of the lead creeps at Nickelodeon, served 16 months in prison for the molesting he did there, Disney hired him, naturally, to work on a children’s series. For pedophiles in Hollywood, it’s a small world after all,” Maher said.

Maher didn’t stop with Hollywood studios. He also targeted what he termed “sharenters,” parents who sexualize their children on social media for fame and profits.

“They’re called ‘sharenters,’ a hybrid of sharing and parent. I call them pimps, a hybrid of pimp and ***. People who believe in social justice have agreed this is wrong and this is bad in exposing kids to an adult world of lured costumes and garish makeup borders on abuse.”

Maher also questioned the appropriateness of certain educational and entertainment strategies for children, such as Drag Queen Story Hour, suggesting they might serve adult interests over those of children.

“Jeez, can’t we just go back to the good old days when kids were read simple stories with simple morals…” Maher said before delving into criticism of what he calls ‘wokeness gone too far,’ particularly around discussions of gender to young children.

Meacham Declares It 'A Patriotic Duty' To Vote For Biden

Presidential historian and frequent MSNBC talking head Jon Meacham traveled to HBO and Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday to wax poetic about “there is a patriotic duty” to vote for Joe Biden and that any Republican who votes for Donald Trump needs to stop and heed the words of George Washington. Maher began by reporting, “Bill Barr says he's voting for Trump. He said, ‘I think it's my duty to pick the person that I would think would do the least harm to the country. The real danger to democracy is the progressive agenda. Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but a continuation of Biden is national suicide.’ I think this is sincere. I don't think he's posturing. I think this is what a good part of this country believes. Discuss.”   “There’s a patriotic duty to support President Biden against Donald Trump, for this reason: Patriotism is allegiance to an idea. It’s not just an allegiance to your own kind. That’s nationalism. Trump is a nationalist. Present Biden is a patriot” – Jon Meacham on #RealTime pic.twitter.com/TSj3BmLNh6 — Brent Baker 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 (@BrentHBaker) April 20, 2024   Meacham’s schtick is to wrap himself in the Constitution, which he immediately did, “It is what part of the country believes. It’s also-- a good part of the country is wrong about that, as a rational matter. Now, politics and rationality are not complete bedfellows, which is part of the reason for the Constitution, is that we’re going to give reason a chance to stand against passion.” He further argued that “I believe, and I say it with care, that's become evident -- to me anyway -- that there is a patriotic duty to support President Biden against Donald Trump, for this reason: patriotism is allegiance to an idea. It's not just an allegiance to your own kind. That's nationalism. Trump is a nationalist. President Biden is a patriot, and I'm lucky, in that I don't have particular policy passions, particular issues. I want the constitutional order to continue to unfold and President Biden is devoted to that constitutional order.” Meacham’s claims to not have “policy passions” says more about him than it does the people he’s criticizing. For them, policy questions can be moral ones, but Meacham put himself atop the moral pedestal, “Donald Trump is self-evidently not and I would say to my Republican friends -- and I live in Tennessee, so that's redundant -- that it is in fact a moral question and I was disappointed by what Barr said, you know, he was-- he got religion for a little while.”     Later, Meacham addressed those conservatives who may not like Trump, but who are also repulsed by Biden and told them to get over it because George Washington would demand it, “Well, what if—you know, if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a merry Christmas as we used to say. You know, but this is what we have, and to me, the interesting thing about the Republican Party is, if you are, in fact, going to put partisanship, as your central organizing principle, if reflexive partisanship is the most important thing -- I would argue that you need to read George Washington's farewell address, you need to read the Founders that otherwise, you know, they love.” It’s not officially a Jon Meacham segment until he invokes Abraham Lincoln and this time Meacham used him to shame Barr: The idea that President Biden is leading us to national suicide. I'm not sure what he's talking about, but Lincoln used that image in his first major speech in the 1830s. He said if we have a fall, it's not going to be from a foreign foe: It's going to be from someone internally rising up and mastering those passions and those passions about partisanship, that's what is ruining us. The guy who admits to not having strong policy preferences should refrain from judging other people’s beliefs because at least they have beliefs. Here is a transcript of the April 19 show: HBO Real Time with Bill Maher 4/19/2024 10:23 PM ET BILL MAHER: However, now Bill Barr says he's voting for Trump. He said, "I think it's my duty to pick the person that I would think would do the least harm to the country. The real danger to democracy is the progressive agenda. Trump may be playing Russian Roulette, but a continuation of Biden is national suicide." I think this is sincere. I don't think he's posturing. I think this is what a good part of this country believes. Discuss.  JON MEACHAM: It is what part of the country believes. It’s also-- a good part of the country is wrong about that, as a rational matter. Now, politics and rationality are not complete bedfellows, which is part of the reason for the Constitution, is that we’re going to give reason a chance to stand against passion. What Barr is doing, and what so many—I sometimes think of them as the Peter Millar Republicans, right, these are Republicans who are not full MAGA people, they’re [unintelligible] types who don't want Democrats picking judges or setting tax rates.  They talked themselves into this twice. In '16 and in '20 and then came the December and January of 2020 and 2021 and that point, I believe, and I say it with care, that's become evident -- to me anyway -- that there is a patriotic duty to support President Biden against Donald Trump, for this reason. Patriotism is allegiance to an idea. It's not just an allegiance to your own kind. That's nationalism. Trump is a nationalist. President Biden is a patriot and I'm lucky, in that I don't have particular policy passions, particular issues. I want the constitutional order to continue to unfold and President Biden is devoted to that constitutional order. Donald Trump is self-evidently not and I would say to my Republican friends -- and I live in Tennessee, so that's redundant -- that it is in fact a moral question and I was disappointed by what Barr said, you know, he was-- he got religion for a little while. There is a line in Tom Sawyer where Twain says that an evangelist comes through town who was so good that even Huck Finn was saved until Tuesday. You know, Bill Barr was saved until Tuesday. JANE FURGUSON: I wonder, I mean, I do wonder, again, we’re talking as though this were an inevitability that it would be these two. I mean, more moderate conservatives who perhaps feel a little bit more homeless in the Republican Party might have been tempted to cross over in the voter base and they have now been presented with this choice, where it, you know, was never an inevitability that it would be these men and what if there’d been a different option within the Democratic Party? MEACHAM: Well, what if—you know, if ifs ands or buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a merry Christmas as we used to say. You know, but this is what we have and to me, the interesting thing about the Republican Party is, if you are, in fact, going to put partisanship, as your central organizing principle, if reflexive partisanship is the most important thing -- I would argue that you need to read George Washington's farewell address, you need to read the Founders that otherwise, you know, they love. You know, they love the Founders when they can move it around to agree with them. It's very clear that if party spirit became the organizing principle, that, that was going to be fatal to the Constitution, and it's very interesting when Barr said it's “suicide.” The idea that President Biden is leading us to national suicide. I'm not sure what he's talking about, but Lincoln used that image in his first major speech in the 1830s. He said if we have a fall, it's not going to be from a foreign foe: It's going to be from someone internally rising up and mastering those passions and those passions about partisanship, that's what is ruining us.

WATCH LIVE: House to Vote on Mike Johnson’s Biden Backed $95 Billion in Foreign Aid Bills

The House of Representatives will vote on three bills to hand out money to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and other non-U.S. involved conflict zones around the world.

Votes on these bills are expected at approximately 1 pm ET.

The $95 billion package, endorsed by Joe Biden, provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, Gaza and other conflict zones around the world. “I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.

It’s been reported, yet to be confirmed, that details of Speaker Johnson’s foreign aid strategy have been leaked. The alleged specifics are as follows:

$95.34 billion, roughly 60% of which goes directly into the DIB:

Ukraine – $48.43 billion

  • $19.85 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD
  • $14.8 billion for DOD ops in EUCOME AOR
  • $13.8 billion in USAl for Ukraine to purchase US weapons
  • $8 million for IG
  • ($7.85 billion direct support to Ukraine government)

Israel – $14.1 billion

  • $4 billion for missile defense (Iron Dome and David’s Sling)
  • $1.2 billion for Iron Beam
  • $4 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD
  • $3.5 billion in FMS for Israel to purchase US weapons
  • $800 million for ammunition plant improvements

Red Sea Operations – $2.4 billion

  • use for operations, force protection, and the replacement of combat
    expenditures

INDOPACOM – $2.58 billion

  • 1.9 billion replenishment of stocks to DOD
  • 542 million to INODPACOM UPL
  • 133 million to enhance cruise missile components

Submarine Industrial Base – $3.3 billion

  • Investment in dry dock construction, etc, in support of SIB and AUKIS

President Trump on Thursday came out in opposition to the foreign aid package demanding that Europe equalize America’s contributions to Ukraine’s war–in Europe. “Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation!” said Trump in a scathing Truth Social post.

This comes after President Trump aired similar sentiments in a press conference with Speaker Johnson last week. He noted that “we keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars” and called on Europe to give money to equalize America’s aid contributions. Trump also stated that he wanted to see Mike Johnson and Republicans in Congress attach loan terms to the aid we’re providing.

Via Right Side Broadcasting Network:

However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, the “loan” structure in the package Mike Johnson announced Wednesday includes FULL LOAN FORGIVENESS!

the package Johnson announced Wednesday includes terms that will allow the President to cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt after November 15, 2024 and the remaining 50% after January 1, 2024. It’s no wonder why Joe Biden came out “strongly” in support of the package, urging the House and Senate to pass it.

This means that after President Trump wins the 2024 election, as expected, Joe Biden can cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt before his term ends in January. However, if Biden and the Democrats pull off another stolen election, they can forgive 100% of Ukraine’s debt a little over one year later. This isn’t a loan. It’s a handout.

BREAKING: House RINOS Pass Mike Johnson’s Biden Backed $95 BILLION in Foreign Aid Bills Including ADDITIONAL $60.84 BILLION to Ukraine – Here Are The RINOs Who Voted to Fund Conflicts Oceans Away

The House of Representatives on Saturday passed three bills to hand out money to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and other non-U.S. involved conflict zones around the world.

The Democrats waved Ukranian flags on the floor of the United States House of Representatives as they voted to send $60 BILLION of taxpayer money to secure a foreign border.

In the last month, Republicans under Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership have given up a $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans, reauthorization for warrantless searches of Americans under FISA Section 702, and now this.

As a result, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) recently announced that they will co-sponsor Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) Motion to Vacate the Chair and remove Mike Johnson as Speaker.

President Trump on Thursday came out in opposition to the foreign aid package demanding that Europe equalize America’s contributions to Ukraine’s war–in Europe. “Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation!” said Trump in a scathing Truth Social post.

Additionally, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) revealed that only $44 to $47 billion--40%--of the $113 billion that the United States has handed out to Ukraine is lethal aid." So what was the other $66 to $69 billion dollars for?," Roy asked on Bannon's War Room.

This could be one of the greatest financial frauds in US history – Next to the Biden COVID assistance fraud.

Meanwhile, our southern border remains wide open and our national security at extreme risk.

Bill Melugin: CBP Sources Say Illegal Border Crossings Rising to 6,400 in Two Days, With Most in San Diego Sector — 1,500 Illegal Crossings Two Days in a Row

Joe Biden’s America.

The numbers don’t lie. Even with the false narrative of the mainstream media, the border is still a mess. The Biden regime has shown for the last 3 years that they have no intention of locking down the border.

CBP sources show that this past week there were over 6,400 encounters with illegal aliens at the border for two days in a row. Before that increase, the numbers were in the 4 to 5 thousand range. Although it is a limited sample, it still is an indication that things are not improving.

Texas has seen a decrease, while a good majority of these illegal aliens are crossing in the San Diego sector. The statistics show about 1,500 illegal crossings 2 days in a row in just that sector!

NEW: Border numbers slowly ticking back up, CBP sources tell me the last two days in a row both had over 6,400 encounters after weeks of encounters mostly in the 4,000s & 5,000s.
Not a large enough sample size to confirm a trend, but watching it.

TX numbers remain low. San Diego…

Since Texas has taken action to lock down their border, a lot of illegals have been entering through San Diego. There has also been an increase of Chinese illegals crossing the border.

In February, Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins was at the border in the San Diego sector. He interviewed a Chinese Illegal who was here to “take the money.”

Griff Jenkins pressed him: “Ok, why did you come?”

“Umm, to take the money,” the illegal replied.

“Money? For job? There’s no job in China?” Griff Jenkins asked the illegal.

According to Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens, there have been illegals from over 160 countries that have entered the US this past fiscal year.

“Every country and every region has smugglers that try to facilitate a pipeline for them to get to where they are going and they are connected with one another. If they are coming from Europe or coming from Asia they will find ways to get to maybe South America and from South America then they may make their way up to the Darien Gap and make their way to Central America and ultimately find their way to decision points that take them to different points along our borders,” Chief Owens said last month.

Watch:

US BORDER CHIEF: “PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE SMUGGLED INTO THE U.S.”

“So far, this fiscal year alone, we have had people from 160 or more come across our border illegally.”

An estimated 10 to 12 million illegals have crossed the border since January 2021.

That number equals about the population of 41 individual states.

Thanks to One Dissenter, the Mask Drops at NPR

Without a doubt, many readers here at NewsBusters were mega-dittos fans of the late, great Rush Limbaugh. In today’s media world perhaps you listen to conservative talk radio hosts Sean Hannity or Rush’s successors Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, or Glenn Beck or Jesse Kelly. Or, indeed someone else, perhaps a local conservative host in your area. But whomever you listen to from that list of conservative talkers, they all have one thing in common: their shows have sponsors from the private sector.  And in no instance are those sponsors the American taxpayer. To a show, those sponsors are from the private sector, all busy selling their product (like Optima Tax Relief). This is, of course, not true with National Public Radio. NPR is funded in part, whether you like it or not, by you. The American taxpayer. And it is no coincidence that the government-supported radio has a seriously liberal bent. God bless America and free speech. But the decidedly obvious problem is that you are paying the bill - and the money is lifted right out of your wallet automatically, giving you absolutely zero choice in paying for what has morphed into left-wing propaganda radio. Imagine taxpayer dollars going to subsidize Limbaugh or Levin. You don't have to wonder whether the Left would find that a horrible expenditure of tax dollars to promote one side of the fence. Which makes the saga of longtime NPR editor Uri Berliner considerably interesting. A longtime editor at NPR, Berliner penned a lengthy article which not only startlingly admits to the problem but criticizes his bosses and colleagues for producing news every day from the liberal bubble. Over at a site titled, yes, The Free Press, Berliner titled his piece this way:  I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust. Let’s dip into some of the things this longtime NPR editor says. First of all, Berliner describes himself, saying:  You know the stereotype of the NPR listener: an EV-driving, Wordle-playing, tote bag–carrying coastal elite. It doesn’t precisely describe me, but it’s not far off. I’m Sarah Lawrence–educated, was raised by a lesbian peace activist mother, I drive a Subaru, and Spotify says my listening habits are most similar to people in Berkeley.  I fit the NPR mold. I’ll cop to that. Then he goes on to say:   By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. We weren’t just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals.  An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America. And how did this happen? Berliner goes on - but of course - this way, saying:  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. Berliner keeps going, listing notable stories from the last several years and the way they were handled by the decidedly left-wing NPR staff. Trump-Russia collusion hoax? That was “catnip” and NPR took their guidance from the man Sean Hannity calls “the congenital liar (Rep.) Adam Schiff.” The New York Post pre-2020 election scoop about Hunter Biden’s decidedly scandalous laptop? Says Berliner:  The laptop was newsworthy. But the timeless journalistic instinct of following a hot story lead was being squelched. During a meeting with colleagues, I listened as one of NPR’s best and most fair-minded journalists said it was good we weren’t following the laptop story because it could help Trump. The reality that the Covid pandemic came out of a lab leak in Wuhan, China?  The lab leak theory came in for rough treatment almost immediately, dismissed as racist or a right-wing conspiracy theory. Anthony Fauci and former NIH head Francis Collins, representing the public health establishment, were its most notable critics. And that was enough for NPR. We became fervent members of Team Natural Origin, even declaring that the lab leak had been debunked by scientists.  But that wasn’t the case. Berliner keeps on going to give examples making his devastating case of left-wing bias at NPR.  When George Floyd died, he writes that the message from the top of NPR was that.  America’s infestation with systemic racism was loud and clear: it was a given. Our mission was to change it. NPR, it was made clear, was all about diversity - diversity of skin color and gender. Berliner writes:  But what’s notable is the extent to which people at every level of NPR have comfortably coalesced around the progressive worldview.  And this, I believe, is the most damaging development at NPR: the absence of viewpoint diversity. Now. Having spoken truth to power, you get one guess as to the newest headline about Mr. Berliner, this one from CBS: “NPR suspends editor who accused the network of liberal bias” And within a matter of hours, that headline was followed by this one at the New York Post. It read:  NPR editor Uri Berliner resigns after bombshell expose reveals network’s pervasive left-wing bias The Post story reported:  NPR correspondent Uri Berliner, who was suspended without pay after calling out the radio broadcaster’s rampant liberal bias, resigned on Wednesday — and took a parting shot at the network’s controversial CEO. 'I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years,' Berliner wrote on his X social media account on Wednesday. 'I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism.' Berliner added that he 'cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press essay.' The “new CEO” of NPR that Berliner refers to is one Katherine Maher. And it took a bare blink of the eye for Maher to be revealed in past tweets as the personification of the Trump-hating, far-left mindset that consumes NPR. So there you have it. You, the American taxpayer, are paying for NPR and its left-wing bias. And if you are working at NPR and protest that bias, you will be suspended without pay and then made so uncomfortable you are forced to resign. The real problem? This is but one example of a journalistic outlet pretending to “just the facts” reporting. The fact that taxpayers have to pay for it is particularly insulting to Americans. And that is something that Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn is determined to change, sponsoring legislation to defund NPR. While over in the House the same move is being led by Indiana Congressman Jim Banks. But make no mistake, there are plenty of so-called journalism outlets out there that pretend to straight-up reporting when, in fact, just like NPR, their newsrooms are under the iron-fisted control of left-wing activists. And viewpoint diversity, as is true at NPR, is not to be tolerated. At NPR, thanks to Uri Berliner -- at the cost of his job -- the mask of journalistic independence and objectivity has finally dropped. It's about time someone from the inside told the ugly truth about it.
