The activists were convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and “conspiracy against rights” for a sit-in protest at the Surgi-Clinic in Washington, D.C.
Three activists were sentenced on Tuesday, and four more were sentenced on Wednesday.
The Daily Wire reports:
On Wednesday, Jonathan Darnel, Herb Geraghty, Jean Marshall, and Joan Bell were all sentenced to prison. Darnel got 34 months in prison, Geraghty got 27 months, Marshall got 24 months, and Bell got 27 months. The sentences followed Tuesday’s sentencing of Lauren Handy to 57 months in prison, as well as John Hinshaw (21 months) and William Goodman (27 months).
During the protest, the pro-life protesters sang songs, prayed, locked arms in front of the facility’s staff entrance, and attached themselves with ropes and chains to block doors inside the building.
“As evidenced by today’s sentencings, the FBI and our judicial system will not tolerate the obstruction of civil rights,” said David Sundberg of the FBI Washington Field Office. “The FBI will continue to investigate FACE Act violations in all jurisdictions, so patients and providers can exercise their right to receive or provide lawful reproductive health care without the threat of violence or intimidation.”
In 2022, Handy, obtained a box containing 115 aborted fetuses from outside the Surgi-Center. Five of them appeared to be within the 26-32 week range, which is typically considered far enough along to survive outside the womb.
Last week, the remains of five infants were delivered to DC Metro police in a condition consistent with partial birth abortion or infanticide.

Handy and other anti-abortion activists called on the District of Columbia to investigate if any of the babies had been born alive, but the city refused. Partial-birth abortion remains against the law in the district.
Ashan Benedict, D.C. police’s executive assistant chief of police, said during a press conference that they appeared to have been aborted “in accordance with D.C. law [and] there doesn’t seem to be anything criminal in nature about that except for how they got into this house.” The department refused to order autopsies to confirm the claim.
The clinic is run by Dr. Cesare Santangelo, who was captured on video by Live Action News in 2013 saying that he does not provide life-saving care for viable, premature babies born after a failed abortion.

Jersey sales of Kansas City Chiefs star Harrison Butker have skyrocketed since he delivered his conservative-themed commencement speech at Benedictine College last weekend.
Butker, who is a placekicker for the Kansas City Chiefs and three-time Super Bowl Champion, discussed a wide range of issues, including the challenges posed by the COVID pandemic, Joe Biden’s appalling leadership and the importance of the Catholic faith.

Now, jersey sales for Butker are on the rise, even outpacing that of fellow stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
CBS Sports reported:
Harrison Butker currently has the top-selling jersey on the Kansas City Chiefs following the controversial statements he made during a recent commencement speech at Benedictine College. As of Friday afternoon, sales of the veteran kicker’s jersey are even outpacing those of teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, according to the official NFL Shop.
Listed among the “Top Sellers” on the official website, Butker’s No. 7 jersey has gotten quite a bump after the kicker’s polarizing remarks. CBS Sports has reached out to the NFL about the specific sales numbers.
Such news will come as a bitter blow to the woke NFL, which quickly sought to distance itself from Butker’s conservative and religious worldview.
“Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,” said Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer. “His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”
Meanwhile, Kansas City is now under investigation for potential violations of Butker’s human rights after Mayor Quinton Lucas doxxed him on the X platform.
“My office is demanding accountability after Kansas City doxxed Harrison Butker last night for daring to express his religious beliefs,” said Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. “I will enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act to ensure Missourians are not targeted for their free exercise of religion.”

The list of failures and shortcomings of French President Emmanuel Macron is too long to compile, but suffice to say he has managed to antagonize the whole Republic against him – and it’s reported now that even his older wife Brigitte has lost her patience and is interfering on his train-wreck of a second (and last) Presidential mandate.
He went to Marseille and launched a ‘crackdown on trafficking’ – but police rounding up the usual low-level small fish is hardly a compensation for the debacle of the escape by drug kingpin Mohamed Amra, aka La Mouche (The Fly), was freed from a prison convoy in an audacious ambush that saw two prison officers killed and others wounded.
Below, we see the British press going at the Globalist poster boy, a former Rothschild banker with unusual vehemence.
Daily Mail reported:
“Since Macron took office promising a new dawn for his country, Islamic militants have burned churches, murdered a priest saying mass and beheaded a teacher who offended a Muslim student. Anti-Semitic incidents have increased 300 per cent. The Holocaust memorial in Paris was attacked this week and yesterday morning, police shot dead a man armed with a knife who set fire to a synagogue in Rouen.”
The Mail highlights that Paris will host the 2024 Olympics, which would be a spectacular opportunity for Macron to show off on a global stage.
But we’ve known for a while that security officials are ‘terrified that the games will also provide a platform for terrorists and criminals’.

Police is overwhelmed by criminality all over the country.
Macron is as weak as it gets.
Support for Marine Le Pen’s National Rally continues to rise.
Pollsters are certain that Le Pen is virtually certain to replace Macron in the next presidential election in 2027.
It’s quite a difference for the leader that arrived signaling hope and change for France.
“But all degenerated quickly. In the first months of his presidency he clumsily reduced taxes for the wealthy and increased those on the fuel vital to French workers, sparking months of violent protests that ended only with the Covid lockdowns. He was re-elected to a second five-year term in 2022 by a hugely reduced margin then weeks later lost control of the National Assembly in legislative elections.”
And the situation gets worse and worse. Widespread gun-related killings in Marseille and elsewhere, French troops expelled from Africa, near civil war in the French overseas territory of New Caledonia, in Oceania.
So his old-time ‘mentor’ and lover steps in to ‘save the day’.
“Meanwhile, with Macron in trouble, his wife (and former high-school drama teacher) Brigitte, 24 years his senior, is reportedly so exasperated that she is attempting to purge his senior advisers. Paris insiders call this the revenge of the ‘Madame wing’ of the Élysée Palace.
She’s thought to have been behind the president’s latest pathetic stunt, being photographed by the Elysee’s official photographer channelling Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa, pummelling a punch bag. The message was supposed to be that the president is tough. But boxing fans said his jab was feeble.”
The British paper says that is Macron good at ‘making announcements’ – what Politico called ‘The Grand Master of Grandstanding’.
“As for the Olympics, Macron, Panglossian as ever, has brushed aside security concerns and after a recent warning that the Seine is too contaminated with sewage to hold the open-water swimming events, has promised to dive in himself, to prove the water is safe. A promise as yet unfulfilled. Perhaps the Olympics will be a triumph, although it will be hard for Paris to match London 2012. Perhaps escaped prisoner Mohamed Amra will be captured. Perhaps Brigitte Macron can talk some sense into her husband — after all, he was her former pupil.”
Ouch! That is unexpectedly harsh even for Brits post-BREXIT.

Joy Behar of ‘The View’ has decided that lifetime appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Electoral College, both of which are enshrined in the United States Constitution, are un-American.
Do you think she would feel that way if the Supreme Court was majority liberal, or if the Electoral College system favored Democrats? Not a chance.
Who is she to decide what is un-American? Just a reminder… The View is considered part of ABC News.
Nicholas Fondacaro reports at NewsBusters:
We ‘Need to Fix’ It: Behar Decries the Constitution as ‘Un-American’
Joy Behar, the same co-host of ABC’s The View who thought the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was the military alliance that defeated Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, was back with more of her wisdom during Friday’s show. According to her, two elements of the U.S. Constitution – both present since the founding – were “un-American.”
“These lifetime assignments [to the U.S. Supreme Court] have got to stop and they need to fix the Electoral College also because that’s un-American,” she shrieked.
Behar was triggered by newly released, years-old photos of an inverted American flag allegedly outside the home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito several days AFTER the riot at the Capitol. The latest smear campaign against conservative justices suggested – without evidence – that it was to show solidarity with the rioters.
Ignoring or ignorant of the meaning of an inverted flag, Behar declared it was something wholly invented by “MAGA people”:

The travel advisory, issued on Friday, warned U.S. citizens to “stay alert in locations frequented by tourists, including Pride celebrations and venues frequented by LGBTQI+ persons.”
“Due to the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations, or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests, the Department of State advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution,” the warning urged. “The Department of State is aware of the increased potential for foreign terrorist organization-inspired violence against LGBTQI+ persons and events and advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution.”
The department also urged travelers to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to “receive information and alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency overseas.”
The Hill reports, “a State Department spokesperson declined to comment on whether the advisory was preceded by a specific event or threat made against the LGBTQ community.”
“The U.S. Department of State has no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “We take seriously our commitment to provide U.S. citizens with clear, timely, and reliable information about every country in the world so they can make informed travel decisions.”
The FBI and State Department warned of the potential for terrorist attacks on Pride celebrations in the U.S. last month.
“FTO efforts to commit or inspire violence against holiday celebrations, including Pride celebrations or LGBTQIA+-related venues, are compounded by the current heightened threat environment in the United States and other western countries,” the agencies said in a joint advisory.
“FTOs and their supporters have previously promoted anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric and targeted LGBTQIA+ related events or venues for attacks.”

The brawl took place just days before President-elect Lai Ching-te is scheduled to assume office without a legislative majority. Peace was eventually restored, although not before footage of the fighting spread across the internet.
Taiwan’s two principal parties, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which is poised to form the government, and the Kuomintang (KMT), the primary opposition, are fiercely divided over proposed reforms.
Among these reforms is a contentious measure to criminalize those found guilty of making false statements in parliament.The law, introduced by the KMT and its allies, has been denounced by DPP as “an unconstitutional abuse of power.”
This isn’t the first instance of physical violence breaking out in the Taiwanese parliament. Back in 2020, KMT members threw buckets of pig innards at Premier Su Tseng-chang and exchanged insults over the decision to ease U.S. pork imports.

Former President Donald Trump is calling attention to Joe Biden’s deteriorating cognitive functioning by pinning a parody music video, featuring the ailing White House occupant falling over and wandering around, to his Truth Social account on Friday.
The video, a parody of rock artist Tom Petty’s famous tune “Free Fallin,” features Biden falling down on stage, tripping down the steps of Air Force One and aimlessly wandering around as the lyrics point out Biden “Keeps Fallin.’

— Steve (@SteveLovesAmmo) May 17, 2024
The video, created by comedian and host of Fox News Saturday Night Jimmy Failla, is going viral as people across the mock the installed commander-in-chief’s embarrassing falls and gaffes.
The song is from Failla’s album, “The More You Joe” produced by “C’Mon Man Records.”
The lyrics to the song read:
He’s an old guy
has dementia,
can’t lead us.
And the country is screwed.
Tells some big lies,
barely speaks English,
sniffs children,
and their mom’s hair, too,
Goes the wrong way.
When he leaves his speeches,
Gets lost each day.
In the White House yard,
All the Dems say
that we should reelect him.
How can he win?
When walking is hard?
And Joe Keeps, (keeps falling yeah he keeps falling)
Keeps falling (keeps falling yeah he keeps falling)
And Joe keeps (keeps falling yeah he keeps falling)
Keeps falling (keeps falling yeah he keeps falling)
In March 2021, Biden tripped and fell three times as he struggled to walk up the stairs boarding Air Force One.
In June 2022, Biden fell over while riding his bike as he stopped to take questions from reporters.
In June 2023, Biden toppled over on stage at a US Air Force Academy graduation ceremony.
In Oct. 2023, he again tripped while walking upstairs to deliver a speech in Pennsylvania but caught himself.
In poll after poll, a plurality of Americans, including Democrat voters, agree Joe Biden does not have the physical fitness or mental capability for another term.

President Donald Trump has thrown down the gauntlet, demanding that Joe Biden undergo a drug test before their upcoming debate.
Trump’s challenge came during his speech at the GOP’s annual Lincoln Reagan dinner event in St. Paul, Minnesota, which he attended after celebrating his son Barron’s high school graduation.
At the GOP´s annual Lincoln Reagan dinner event in St. Paul, Minnesota, Trump didn’t mince words as he called into question Biden’s performance during the State of the Union address in March.
“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know – and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said.
“I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite,” Trump added.
The former president went on to criticize Biden’s performance during the State of the Union, stating that Biden appeared “jacked up” at the beginning but was “fading fast” by the end.
“We’re gonna demand a drug test… He’s going to be so jacked up for those, you watch.”
“I don’t know what he’s using, but that was not, hey, he was higher than a kite, and by the way it was the worst address I’ve ever seen,” Trump said.

This is not the first time Trump has raised suspicions about Biden’s behavior. In an interview with radio broadcaster Hugh Hewitt last month, Trump suggested that there may be “something going on” with Biden and insinuated that drugs could be involved.
“I think what happened, you know, that white stuff, that they happened to find, which happened to be cocaine at the White House, I don’t know, I think something is going on there,” Trump per Daily Mail.
“I watched the State of the Union, he was all jacked up at the beginning, by the end he was fading fast, there’s something going on there.”
Trump’s insistence on a drug test before the debates echoes his stance from the 2020 presidential campaign when he called for Biden to be tested prior to their debates. Back then, Trump voiced his belief that Biden was using some form of enhancement to improve his performance.
In his interview with Laura Ingraham, President Trump said he believes Joe Biden is on some enhancement.
“I watched Biden in the previous debates and he was horrible. And then I saw him in the Bernie debate and he was normal. It was sort of like a normal deal. He got by. And I said that was a different guy than the guy that was in the debate with Kamala. Now, Kamala is just horrible… I’ll tell you what he’s on some kind of enhancement in my opinion,” President Donald Trump said.

Panic Time? Biden Unlikely To Turn It Around
With week four of the Alvin Bragg show trial in the books, it is now crystal clear (if somehow it already wasn’t) that the New York District Attorney has no case. As it stands, the two star witnesses for the prosecution – Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen – proved cataclysmic; so much so that even liberal talking heads like Anderson Cooper and Alyssa Farah fretted on networks like CNN, saying they would acquit President Trump of all allegations given just how bad Cohen’s testimony was.
Of course, what precisely those allegations are remains a mystery – to everyone, including likely Bragg himself. Lost in all the sensationalism of this case is the stubborn fact that there is no there there. We are all left scratching our heads still for an explanation why an apparent FEC violation is being brought in state court? We are also left wondering why such an offense is a crime at all.
This case has been skewering in court for a month now, following a seven-year stretch in which the underlying allegations ping-ponged from federal agency to federal agency, to be passed on one after the other because – and I risk repeating myself – there is no crime for which to prosecute anyone. Not seven years ago, nor now.
Case in point: we still have not heard a theory of criminality. Typically, in a court of law, a crime is propounded by the prosecution. It is incumbent upon the State to prove each element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. If one or more elements fail that test, the defendant is acquitted. Case closed.
This is the first criminal proceeding in the history of New York criminal law in which not even a crime has been articulated when the case was brought to trial. There are a ton of rumors of course – and ridiculous, groundless speculation – that President Trump could face anywhere between 30 days and 130 years if he is convicted. The prosecution has hid the ball, however, all throughout the proceeding.
This would ordinarily not make any sense. But it is apparent that Bragg’s strategy is this: because there is no crime, it is necessary to muddy the waters and confuse the jurors as much as possible. Hence, the delays, innuendo, porn-stars, and unprecedented rule-breaking.
Bragg is betting that all twelve jurors are even dumber than he as to not realize that the prosecutors are running roughshod around the normal rules governing a criminal trial. He thinks, perhaps owing to his own lack of intelligence (after all, Bragg is a DEI appointee), that all the chicanery and sabotage of the rule of law that has defined this trial so far will go unnoticed by the twelve jurors. For that would seem to be the only way Bragg, at this point, would be able to get a conviction. In any other situation, this case would have already been dismissed.
Perhaps he is right. Perhaps the jurors are as dumb as Bragg believes them to be. Although their identities have not been publicly disclosed, there is every reason to believe they are sympathetic to Bragg’s politics, given that they were handpicked by far-left prosecutors in far-left Manhattan, which, in 2020, voted for Biden over Trump 9 to 1.
But even if that all were true, the jurors would have to be extreme ideologues to digest the absolute dumpster fire of a testimony that unfurled in that courthouse this past week to rule in the prosecutor’s favor. Again, it would only require one juror to break ranks to cause a hung jury – that is all President Trump needs.
And after this week, with Michael Cohen testifying that he’s had a longstanding personal vendetta against the leading candidate to be America’s next president after being snubbed of a long-desired White House post during President Trump’s first administration – either as Chief of Staff, for which he expressed deep interest to many confidantes, or White House Counsel – it would take only the most devout anti-Trump juror to accept Bragg’s so-called “theory” of liability.
In liberal Manhattan, it is reasonable to believe maybe a handful, even a majority, of the jurors are ideological fanatics, in lockstep with Bragg, James, and Merchan in their TDS-levels. But all twelve? That is likely, hopefully, a bridge too far, even for the most passionate liberal.
Why? Well, notwithstanding that any of the jurors are blackmailed or gaslit into marching to the beat of Bragg and Merchan’s orders (which is a real possibility), it is pretty safe to say at this point that Bragg’s sham show trial has completely unraveled.
For his part, Donald Trump is coming out of this looking better than ever – and the poll numbers express it. The court of public opinion, where some morsels of justice still exist, have clearly exposed Bragg’s trial for what it is: an assault on the integrity of the justice system. The President’s skyrocketing momentum is the ultimate indictment of the goings-on in that kangaroo courthouse.
In Merchan’s court, the rule of law does not apply: the laws governing the admission of evidence and the exclusion of such hearsay like prior bad acts and prejudicial character assassination are plainly inoperative.
Nor too do the rules pertaining to conflicts of interest – if they did, the case would never have been able to get off the ground. Merchan’s wife worked for Letitia James, and his daughter has Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as clients through her political consulting firm. For a second time (or third? I’ve lost count): case closed.
What is more, Bragg’s lead prosecutor, Matthew Colangelo, was the number three appointee of Joe Biden’s DOJ, proving a direct link to the Biden Regime itself.
No lawyer with Colangelo’s resume would ever step down from a government post as prestigious as Colangelo’s former position at the Department of Justice, in exchange for working in a drab state D.A.’s office, unless he was operating under the order to, in the infamous words of the New York AG, “get” Donald Trump. No greater case of election-interference exists in American history.
Also ignored in Merchan’s court are the rules governing venue. Allegedly, this is an FEC violation – that is what we are being told forms the nucleus of the underlying crime. The FEC, last I checked, in a federal agency – meaning it implicates federal issues, not state issues.
Thus, the issue should have been preempted or barred until the FEC took up the case. So, pray tell, why are we in state court? We know already that hush money payments and NDAs, as unsavory as they may seem, are perfectly lawful. They have always been legal, and have never, ever – until President Trump’s trial – formed the basis for a criminal prosecution, let alone a felony crime.
And yet here we are. Is Merchan suggesting that anyone who has ever signed an NDA or made a hush money payment a crime? That, at least, would appear to be the novel precedent being set by his court. That would mean at least half the American population should be put behind bars. Equal justice under law, right?
But perhaps the most unbelievable precedent being set by Merchan of all is the idea that a serial liar, and convicted perjurer, could, simply on the basis of his prejudicial and contradiction-riven testimony, forge the entire theory of liability for a criminal trial!
And yet, that is exactly what is happening in Merchan’s courthouse with the testimony of Michael Cohen. The State’s entire case rests on the credibility of a known fraudster and liar.
Cohen even admitted on the stand, on more than one occasion, to being a known fraudster and liar (and dare I add: sleaze-bag). He shamelessly announced on the witness stand that his intent all along has been to subject President Trump to the same process that he went through. He was unapologetic about it. That was his motive from the get-go. And yet, here we are.
Even when President Trump is exonerated of these bogus charges, an inevitability, the damage to the rule of law has been already done. It will take generations at least to rehabilitate the integrity of the criminal justice system, which has been torn to smithereens with shameless abandon in Juan Merchan’s courthouse.
That is the real tragedy of this whole charade; and hopefully a lesson that is not lost on those of us so unfortunate to bear witness to the dismal death of America’s justice system in real time.

President Joe Biden, who wears bespoke sneakers to prevent embarrassing collapses and whose command of the English language rivals that of most kindergartners, is in bad political shape.
It is unsurprising that Democrats have resorted to some of the slimiest tactics imaginable to derail President Donald Trump’s comeback bid and push their senile octogenarian across the November finish line. Properly skeptical of their chances to topple Trump in a fair mano-a-mano, the Democrat-lawfare complex in 2023 conjured up four separate criminal prosecutions—two federal probes and two state probes—targeting the 45th president. After all, if you can’t beat him, then … prosecute and incarcerate him! All in the name of “our democracy,” naturally.
Suffice it to say that the Democrat-lawfare complex’s brazen, cynical attempt to subvert our constitutional order in the name of saving it has not gone according to plan.
In Washington, D.C., Special Counsel Jack Smith’s crown-jewel case against Trump, pertaining to the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6 jamboree at the U.S. Capitol, has been interrupted by the U.S. Supreme Court. The justices stepped in to assess the thorny constitutional question of the scope of immunity from criminal prosecution for former presidents, and a decision is not expected until late June.
The most likely result is a mixed opinion that holds some “core” Article II presidential functions are immune from post-presidency prosecution, but other acts are not. This would require a remand to the trial court for fact-finding to determine which legal category the acts in Smith’s indictment fall into. That trial court finding could then be appealed, too. There is virtually no chance Smith can wrap this all up before November.
In Florida, Smith’s other federal case has not been more successful. The Florida prosecution, pertaining to Trump’s post-presidency handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, had at least some potential on the legal merits. But Smith wildly overplayed his hand by charging Trump with violating the controversial World War I-era Espionage Act, and the proceedings have frequently been set back due to the strenuous demands of the Classified Information Procedures Act—a 1980 statute first introduced in the Senate, ironically, by then-Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del.
Recently, Judge Aileen Cannon indefinitely postponed the trial start date, which had initially been scheduled for May 20. There is again little to no chance Smith can reach a jury before November.
The case in Fulton County, Georgia, which once seemed the most perilous of them all due to Georgia’s sprawling Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the far-left Atlanta jury pool, and the potential for high-profile prosecution witnesses, has gone totally off the rails. Ever since January, the only questions in the case have not been substantive legal issues such as whether Trump oversaw a grand conspiracy to “overturn an election,” but tabloid fodder such as whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her illicit extramarital lover and appointed special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, are too compromised to bring the case.
The trial court’s finding that only one of them must recuse is now pending before a Georgia appellate court, and it is likely the Supreme Court of Georgia will weigh in, too. This case isn’t reaching a jury before November, either.
That leaves the ongoing drama in New York City, where a literal porn “star” (Stormy Daniels) and a convicted felon (Michael Cohen) are aiding the George Soros-funded prosecutor’s case of … well, he hasn’t exactly told us what it is. We surmise the case entails alleged New York State fraudulent bookkeeping charges in furtherance of a federal campaign finance law violation—which doesn’t even fall into the local district attorney’s jurisdiction.
The prosecution is about to rest its case, and we don’t even know for sure what the actual black-letter legal case is. On Thursday, the “star witness” convicted felon’s testimony was so bad that far-left CNN anchor Anderson Cooper remarked: “I think if I was a juror in this case watching that, I would think this guy is making it up as he’s going along.”
Brutal.
The Democrats’ strategy is failing. But it is up to the American people to make them pay for it.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to cover-up how the government entrapped Americans who demonstrated at the January 6 Save America rally.
In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the FBI released a trove of internal documents on May 7 on “The Vault” section of its website titled “United States Capitol Violence and related Events of January 6, 2021 Part 35.”
Email correspondence among FBI officials in the days leading up to Jan. 6, real-time reactions to violence at the fedsurrection, and guidance of the bureau’s response to the Capitol riot are among the 107 pages of newly released documents.
But the most interesting aspect of the FOIA drop is the information the bureau concealed. The increasingly lawless agency, that continues to surveil and terrorize Americans who protested that day, heavily redacted nearly every page of the records, hiding all evidence potentially indicating malfeasance.
Despite a frustrating number of the pages being redacted, some interesting tidbits remain among the scraps.
An email thread with the subject line, “Stand down. See Below” was sent at 5:46 pm the day before the massive crowd of demonstrators was bombed, gassed and shot by police at the Capitol.
“We are standing down in [REDACTED]. The predicated subjects have been [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] is being informed. The only people from the group who are continuing to DC are non-subjects, who are not carrying weapons, and appear to be solely involved in legal First Amendment protesting,” states one of the emails from the thread.
Newly released FBI records include an email thread with the subject line, “Stand down. See Below” the day before Jan. 6
The vast majority of this email thread is redacted, so it’s unclear what the “stand down” order was in relation to. pic.twitter.com/7cZJLiwEaw— Ken Silva (@JD_Cashless) May 8, 2024
“Thank you all for quickly stepping up today!” an employee wrote back in response.
Recipients included in the email thread are not identified. Only one employee’s title was revealed: a supervisory intelligence analyst for the FBI’s DC office.
Here is an image of the email.
The dates on the batch of FBI emails obtained by leftwing activist group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics span from Jan. 2 to Jan 14, 2021.
The trove of redacted emails released by the FBI on May 7 includes correspondence between members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force forewarning violence.
“Hi all, [REDACTED] asked earlier about [REDACTED] subjects coming to the [National Capitol Region] this week who have been [REDACTED]. Per [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] (cc’d), below is information regarding [REDACTED] subjects travelling to the NCR [REDACTED].”
In another heavily redacted email from Jan. 4, 2021, shows that the JTTF treating the upcoming Stop the Steal rally as a “usual” event.
“Usual early [warning order] for something brewing. There are a few people posting intent to come down to DC to do harm on the 6th. [REDACTED] are working in which [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] … and there are likely to be others … That is all I have. You should at least be [REDACTED] from here on out,” the Jan. 4 email said.
Obviously, the FBI has much to hide.
Rep. Clay Higgins, R. -LA, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee’s border subcommittee contends FBI agents entrapped demonstrators during the Capitol riot. Higgins insists “ghost busses” filled with FBI agent provocateurs incited violence among the protesters.
The four-term Louisana Republican predicts the federal prosecution of the January 6 protesters will fall apart when the House of Representatives finishes releasing the security tapes from that day.
Here’s more.
It seems possible, if not likely, to me that the emails could be referencing some of the groups entering DC on Jan. 5.

With all of these comical distractions going on, there is still a critical trial taking place in New York. Prosecutors in the “hush money” trial are expected to rest their case on Monday after Michael Cohen’s testimony wraps up. Yesterday, Trump attorney Todd Blanche put Cohen through the ringer, flat out calling him a “liar!” as Cohen gets a little loose with his recollection of a 1 minute 36 second phone call with Trump’s body guard over a prank-caller. Cohen alleged the call was to regarding the payment to Stormy Daniels, but, as the Daily Beast pointed out, text messages before and after that call don’t support that claim. Yes, the Daily Beast…as if this week needed more hilarity.
Even CNN’s Anderson Cooper couldn’t help but carefully tip-toe around how awful Cohen’s testimony was.
Perhaps Cohen can find consolation in his prison pen-pal! According to the New York Times, Michael Cohen, the self-proclaimed “sex symbol” according to Michael Avenatti, has been cozying up to Rosie O’Donnell.
Unlike many, I have been consistent for 6 years: Michael Cohen is a liar and a total fraud/narcissist who cares only about himself. And let us not forget about @womenforcohen and the 700+ ridiculous posts he fabricated in an effort to paint himself as a brilliant attorney, sex…
— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) May 15, 2024
The New York Times reported that Rosie texted Michael Cohen on Monday before the trial: “breathe – relax – tell the truth – u got this – i love u.” An hour later, she texted him “Ur doing great.”
Cohen reportedly responded, “Thank you and truly love you.”
Sometime during his incarceration, Rosie said that she got his inmate number and sent him a letter. A six-page long letter. The NYT reported:
In the letter, Ms. O’Donnell said she believed that Mr. Cohen had helped Mr. Trump wage his campaign to discredit her. Nevertheless, she said, she was grateful to him, and viewed his decision to turn on his boss as an act of heroism. She believed in redemption and wanted Mr. Cohen to know that she forgave him for everything that had transpired between her and Mr. Trump.“When someone is in a relationship that unhealthy and breaks free, it’s a very lonely time,” she said on Monday, adding that she did not necessarily expect to hear back from Mr. Cohen. She also realized he might not be seeking her forgiveness.But Inmate No. 86067-054 soon wrote back.“He asked me to come visit him,” Ms. O’Donnell said. The last person she visited in prison, in 2004, was her friend Martha Stewart, who was serving five months in a federal penitentiary on charges related to insider trading.
“Michael was sort of proudly introducing me to people, the friends he had met there.”

In November 2020, The Gateway Pundit published information on a little-known YouTube video with only about 50 views at the time. In the video that was posted in August 2020, Gabriel Sterling joins in to discuss a number of things regarding the election process.
Gabriel Sterling was appointed the COO of the Secretary of State’s office by Brad Raffensperger shortly after Raffensperger was elected to the position in November 2018.
Sterling, as COO, would be in charge of budgetary, human resources and administrative operations for the Secretary of State’s office. Sterling, strangely, has also been referred to, in multiple media accounts, as Georgia’s “Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager.”
Starting at the 7:00 mark Sterling brags about expanding the emergency rule to provide for drop boxes to go through the entire election cycle now. Again this video was published in August 2020.
At the 8:00 mark Sterling brags about hiring election poll workers from the ACLU to work the elections in the state.
Gabe Sterling: “We allowed for early scanning of ballots. Those things come out of the SEB (State Election Board). And then we work with the county elections officials directly to train them, for them to train the poll workers. And this year we really stepped up a lot in terms of getting poll workers in, in the lieu of the COVID situation, we set up a portal. And as of today, working with our partners, especially the ACLU and the Metro Chamber of Commerce, we’ve already given over 6,000 names to counties for people to sign up as poll work.”
How in the world did this far-left radical, Gabe Sterling, get hired as the Georgia statewide voting systems manager under Brad Raffensperger?
And what kind of Republican would partner with the ACLU to hire election workers to process absentee ballots?
Here is the entire video that is still live on YouTube.
In August 2023, investigative journalist Paul Sperry echoed our earlier reporting and confirmed via POIA records that Fulton County officials in 2020 deputized hundreds of anti-Trump Democrats from the ACLU and gave them the power to process absentee ballots.
Gabe Sterling bragged about this back in 2020.
BREAKING: New FOIA records reveal Fulton election officials in 2020 deputized 100s of anti-Trump Dems from ACLU, gave them power to process absentee ballot apps rec’d thru online portals & then equipped ACLU poll workers w/ iPads to cancel absentee ballots w/o county supervision
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) August 24, 2023
In every battleground state in 2020, state officials hired election workers from far-left groups who acted in completely lawless ways.
In Detroit, Michigan, the far-left poll workers threatened Republican poll workers and locked the door and boarded up the windows to prevent anyone from observing their “work” during the counting process.
Read more below:
In Philadelphia, they locked out ALL Republican election observers from the counting room for days.
Read more below:
In both Philadelphia and Detroit, far-left election workers were allowed to bring backpacks and suitcases into the election room.
Read more below:
In Georgia, leftist election workers were allowed to film inside the counting rooms where ballots were processed in private cubes and were scattered all over the counting room in piles!
Read more below:
And now this… Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his sidekick Gabe Sterling are already working with a Soros-funded group to ensure that only leftist election workers will be hired in Georgia this year.
Is the Republican Party paying attention?
Natalie Winters at The War Room reported:
George Soros and a slew of anti-Trump activists are backing an effort to recruit poll workers for the 2024 election in collaboration with state election offices.
Founded in 2020, Power The Polls appears to be gearing up for the 2024 election, recently announcing a new Advisory council to roll out a vast army of poll watchers ahead of November. The group boasts of recruiting over 700,000 poll workers for the 2020 election and is currently working with state election offices including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger ahead of the 2024 election.
Politico noted that Power the Polls was “stood up” by the Open Society Foundation, the hub of Soros’ political activism and far-left giving. A deeper investigation reveals the group is part of Work Elections, which is a project of the Fair Election Network. In turn, the Fair Election Network is backed by the New Venture Fund, the leading billion-dollar dark money group supports President Joe Biden and counts Soros among its donors.
Similarly, individuals from far-left activist organizations that have received funds from Soros-linked groups including the Open Society Foundation and New Venture Fund such as the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, llumiNative, and the Civic Rights Responsibility Project are on the advisory council.
While Power The Polls, which describes itself as the “nonpartisan leader in poll worker recruitment” claimed the new 14-member group was a “bipartisan” effort, its lack of any pro-Trump activists suggest otherwise. Furthermore, the council is co-chaired by actress Kerry Washington and infamous critic of President Trump Rep. Adam Kinzinger…
…Even more concerning, however, is the participation of current election officials including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his Chief Operating Officer Gabriel Sterling. It remains unclear the scope of Power the Polls’s influence over these offices. Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar, for example, is also involved, alluding to collaboration between his office and Power the Polls: “By connecting election officials with potential poll workers, Power the Polls helps jurisdictions across the country serve voters and ensure safe and fair elections.”
Brad Raffensperger and Gabe Sterling are up to their old tricks again to do all they can to steal the 2024 election from Donald Trump. Why not? It worked last time.
Republicans, are you paying attention?

Rudy Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York City and stalwart defender of law and order, was served with an Arizona indictment during his 80th birthday event in Palm Beach on Friday.
The indictment, issued by a state grand jury in Arizona, has indicted GOP state legislators, former Arizona GOP chairwoman Kelli Ward, and others who acted as alternate electors for Trump in 2020.
It was announced by Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes. Critics have labeled Mayes’ actions as part of a broader Democratic strategy to intimidate and silence opposition ahead of the 2024 general election.
“We conducted a thorough and professional investigation over the past 13 months into the fake electors scheme in our state,” Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a video announcing the charges.
“I understand for some of you today didn’t come fast enough. And I know I’ll be criticized by others for conducting this investigation at all. But as I’ve stated before, and we’ll say here again, today, I will not allow American democracy to be undermined.”
AG Mayes defended her actions, claiming a commitment to protecting American democracy. Yet, her office’s tactics tell a different story. Knowing that the alternate electors would likely invoke their Fifth Amendment rights—a fundamental protection against self-incrimination—Mayes nonetheless compelled their appearance before a grand jury. This unusual strategy could easily prejudice the jurors into assuming guilt where none is proven.
The grand jury ultimately indicted 11 individuals associated with the Trump campaign, including state legislators and GOP activists.
Notably, President Trump himself was referred to as “Unindicted Coconspirator-1” linked to communications about ballot counting with former Governor Doug Ducey. Rudy Giuliani was also indicted, but his name was redacted.
For two days in April, Arizona officials were allegedly on a manhunt for Giuliani in New York City. They even resorted to sending certified mail, Spectrum News reported.
“Agents spent two days (April 25-26) in New York City attempting to serve the defendant at his residence. Multiple attempts to contact the defendant by telephone to arrange service were also unsuccessful. The defendant was also sent service via certified mail, we have not received notification that attempt was successful either,” wrote Richie Taylor, the communications director for Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, in an email.
Arizona’s Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes opted to serve Rudy Giuliani on his 80th birthday.
Sources close to Giuliani likened the scene to a military operation, stating that the serving of the indictment was executed “like it was Normandy,” according to The Post.

Ted Goodman, Giuliani’s political advisor, criticized the timing and approach of the service.
“It’s unfortunate that they chose to barge up and startle guests during a celebration of this man’s 80th birthday,” Goodman told The Post. “They could’ve shown a little more respect for the man who comforted the nation following September 11th and who stands up for law enforcement and the men and women in blue.”
New York Post reported:
In front of nearly 75 guests, two officials with Arizona’s attorney general’s office arrived at the shindig around 11 p.m. to hand Giuliani the papers in the case alleging he and 17 others were involved in a plot to overturn the 2020 election, the sources said.
Some partygoers started screaming and one woman even cried as Giuliani was served.
“While crime in Arizona is at an all-time high the Arizona Secretary of State’s office felt it was a good use of resources to send multiple agents across the country to storm an 80th birthday party like it was Normandy,” said Caroline Wren, a top GOP consultant, who hosted the birthday party at her home.
[…]
Giuliani was the last of the 18 defendants in the case to be served in the indictment that was returned by a grand jury last month, Arizona officials said.
After he was served, Giuliani got in his car and left, sources said. Charges against those indicted in the so-called “fake electors” plot include fraud, forgery, and conspiracy.
In an audacious and blatantly radical move, Kris Mayes boasted about serving Rudy Giuliani, arrogantly announcing, “The final defendant was served moments ago. Rudy Giuliani, nobody is above the law.”
The justice system is dead in America.
Rudy Giuliani went on social media to refute claims that his celebration was ruined or interrupted.
“ FAKE NEWS ALERT: Contrary to reports from journalists who weren’t there, our early 80th birthday celebration wasn’t “ruined” or interrupted. It was an incredible night w/ friends, including Steve Bannon & Roger Stone. It felt like a strategy session on how to save America!” he wrote.

American Stasi – Chapter Thirteen – Technical Harassment – Beware of “The Beam”
After Dems spent $30 million to flip Wisconsin Supreme Court, ballot boxes will come back.
Wisconsin judge stops the state’s elections commission from ‘fomenting election fraud.’ Incompetent administrators were requiring people certify the envelope itself was a ballot request because they printed the signature certification on the envelope instead of the document. Voters were told to make the false certification, sign under penalty of perjury, and the administrators would just ignore it despite the law.
By the early 400s, the Roman Empire was coming apart at the seams and in desperate need of strong, competent leadership. In theory, Honorius should have been the right man for the job.
Born into the royal household in Constantinople, Honorius had been groomed to rule, practically since birth, by the finest experts in the realm. So even as a young man, Honorius had already accumulated decades of experience.
Yet Rome’s foreign adversaries rightfully believed Honorius to be weak, out of touch, divisive, and completely inept.
He had entered into bonehead peace treaties that strengthened Rome’s enemies. He paid vast sums of money to some of their most powerful rivals and received practically nothing in return. He made virtually no attempt to secure Roman borders, leaving the empire open to be ravaged by barbarians.
Inflation was high. Taxes were high. Economic production declined. Roman military power declined. And all of Rome’s foreign adversaries were emboldened.
To a casual observer it would have almost seemed as if Honorius went out of his way to make the Empire weaker.
So he was the Joe Biden of his time. Do you think he was making his own decisions? Do you think he rose to power through honest struggle, and wielded it himself? What if that wasn’t incompetence? What if, as now, he was a puppet, and it was the plan, executed by the hidden hand through traitors the conspiracy elevated to power? All these historical events look so different when you see them with your own eyes, and realize now could be described in the same terms centuries hence.
On Twitter – “CNN legal experts are now saying Cohen may derail this entire case after he became so aggravated during his testimony today. Cohen went on a rant calling the Judge in his case “corrupt” and essentially saying everyone is corrupt except him. He also went on to say that although he’s lied in court before, he’s not lying this time, even though he still says he doesn’t believe he’s guilty to a crime he confessed to.”

Socialist Chicago council member says it’s ‘racist’ to punish criminals, America is a ‘garbage society’
A socialist member of Chicago’s city council believes that the idea of using police to ensure safe streets and punishing criminals is “racist” while calling America a “garbage society.”
Rossana Rodriguez is an alderwoman on Chicago’s city council who supports defunding the police and caucuses with the Democratic Socialists. The alderwoman, who explicitly calls for “critical race theory” to be taught to children, is also involved in the council’s Education and Child Development committee.
The alderwoman repeatedly blasts American society in her frequent social media tirades.
According to the councilmember, America is “a garbage society” and “a White supremacist society and system” that “favors White people.” Rodriguez believes that “White people are ahead in the game” in comparison to minority groups…
“When we say #DefundThePolice we mean developing alternatives to racist punishment and brutality. This work has been around for a while and it’s a great tool to rethink our ideas of what public safety should look like,” Rodrigues said in response to a post about “police abolition” in 2020.

This announcement comes after President Trump delivered remarks to a massive crowd of roughly 100,000 supporters in Wildwood, New Jersey.
Earlier this year, President Trump announced that he would be holding a rally in the South Bronx. During his interview with Laura Ingraham on FOX News, Trump added that he is also planning a rally at Madison Square Garden.
New York is in play.
Laura Ingraham: Mr. President, I’ve long said that Republicans should have a no state or city left behind strategy. Ronald Reagan had that strategy in 1980 and 1984. And you told Maria Barteromo that you may campaign in the Bronx or at Madison Square Garden. When might that be happening?
President Trump: Very soon. Look, we have nine months yet, but I’m going to see about Madison Square Garden, and we’re going to go to the South Bronx, and we’re going to go to Queens and other areas, because if you look at what’s happened in New York, I’m not even blaming the mayor. I think the mayor has sort of been told to take a backseat a little bit because they came after him violently. You know, they came after him like they’re going to indict him when he started speaking up. And now he’s become quiet.
The Bronx is the bluest of New York City boroughs, with a majority of Spanish voters. Biden “won” 83% of the Bronx vote in 2020.
In early December, TGP contributor and Newsmax reporter Cara Castronuova went down to the Bronx to take their temperature on Joe Biden.
Cara was shocked by what she heard. There is huge support for President Donald Trump in the Bronx!
EVERYONE knows things were better under Trump – no matter what the media is pushing. EVERYTHING is worse under Joe Biden and the Marxist left. And it’s not likely to get any better.
Cara’s report went viral and was re-truthed by President Trump!
Cara went back to the Bronx later that month to ask residents if they would like Trump to hold a rally there and if they would attend.
Once again, the response was OVERWHELMING – The Bronx voters WANT TRUMP!

The city of Burien in Washington State, a suburban community south of Seattle, has erected a fence to contain a growing homeless encampment that is encroaching on a local courthouse.
The homeless community is not happy about the fencing but the encampment is not even legal.
Homelessness is a growing problem in many cities but the northwest is struggling with the issue more than other parts of the country.
Breitbart News reports:
VIDEO — ‘Caged in Like Animals’: Washington Officials Place Fence Around Homeless Camp Near Courthouse
A fence was set up Thursday around a homeless encampment in Burien, Washington, after tents spilled over into a nearby parking lot.
The tents are now surrounded by fencing near the Burien Courthouse parking lot at 6th Avenue SW and SW 149th Street, Fox 13 reported.
A King County Facilities Management Division spokesperson said the fence was set up to make sure the court’s parking lot was available for its own purposes.
However, the spokesperson added that, “We are not using the fencing to establish or define a tent camping area, or control the tent camping that is present on the site.”…
When speaking of the fencing, Michael Collins, who has lived at the encampment for several months, told Fox 13, “It’s like they’re caging us in — like we’re a danger maybe. It’s kind of like a jail. Caged in like animals.”

Joe Biden’s campaign confirmed on Friday that it had rejected two additional debate offers—one hosted by NBC News and Telemundo and the other a vice presidential debate hosted by Fox News at Virginia State University, a historically Black college, CNN reported.
This decision came despite former President Donald Trump’s campaign openly agreeing to participate.
“I have accepted a fourth Presidential Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, this time with NBC & Telemundo,” Trump announced on Truth Social.
Trump emphasized the importance of connecting with the Hispanic community, which has suffered under Biden’s failed policies like “crippling inflation, high gas prices, crime in our streets, and border chaos.”
The rejection by the Biden campaign has not only sparked criticism but raised eyebrows regarding Biden’s willingness to defend his record before key demographic groups that supported him in the 2020 election.
“This is all in addition to our accepting an invitation from Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum of Fox News to host the Vice Presidential Debate at Virginia State University, or another venue, in Virginia, to be named later. These are the Debates that Voters have been asking for, and these are the Debates that Voters will get!” Trump concluded.
In a separate post, Trump wrote, “On behalf of the future Vice President of the United States, who have not yet chosen, we hereby accept the Fox Vice Presidential Debate, hopefully at Virginia State University, the first Historically Black College or University to host a Debate – Date to be determined. I urge Vice President Kamala Harris to agree to this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump’s campaign has taken this opportunity to accuse Biden of avoiding scrutiny.
“The Telemundo/NBC debate would be widely watched by Hispanic voters, but Biden’s handlers are petrified to allow him to defend his disastrous record,” said Danielle Alvarez, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign. She further branded Biden as too ‘cobarde’—cowardly—to engage with the Hispanic community on critical issues.
In a statement on Wednesday, campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon emphasized an end to ongoing debate negotiations.
“President Biden has explicitly set his conditions for two one-on-one debates, which Donald Trump has agreed to,” she said.
“The time for games and chaos is over. There will be no further discussion about debates. We’re scheduled to meet Donald Trump on June 27th in Atlanta, assuming he follows through on his commitment.”
It can be recalled on Wednesday, Joe Biden and President Trump accepted an invitation from CNN for a debate on June 27.
Trump also accepted ABC News’ invitation to debate Biden on September 10.
“It is my great honor to accept the CNN Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the United States and a true Threat to Democracy, on June 27th. Likewise, I accept the ABC News Debate against Crooked Joe on September 10th. Thank you, DJT!” Trump said on Truth Social Wednesday morning.
“I’ve received and accepted an invitation from CNN for a debate on June 27th. Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place,” Biden said.
Biden earlier Wednesday mocked Trump and absurdly claimed the former president “lost two debates” to him in 2020.
“Make my day, pal,” Biden said in a highly edited video posted to X.
Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate.
Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again.

CNN’s Harry Enten recently broke down the surge of support for Trump among black voters and seemed stunned by the findings.
As we pointed out yesterday, black voters are deserting Democrats over inflation and extremism.
Enten notes that black support for Trump is especially strong among young voters.
FOX News reports:
Trump’s surge in polls with Black voters stuns CNN analyst: ‘Truly historic’
Former President Trump’s surge in the polls among Black voters is a “troubling sign” for the Biden campaign, a data reporter warned Friday.
Recent polling shows the former president could get a “historic” boost from Black voters in November if they continue to sour on President Biden, CNN data analyst Harry Enten reported.
“My goodness gracious,” he said as he reacted to the polling average, which showed Trump’s support among Black voters more than doubled to 22% compared to 2020. Biden, meanwhile, saw a 12% drop, though he still holds a 47-point lead.
If this continued into November, Trump could win a larger share of Black voters than any Republican candidate since 1960, Enten said.
“This would be by far the best performance for a Republican candidate among Black voters in a generation, two generations, probably since 1960 and Richard Nixon against John F. Kennedy … This could be a truly historic margin,” he said. “It’s quite a troubling sign for the Biden campaign.”
However, there’s a stark difference when factoring age. The polling average CNN cited showed 82% of Black voters 50 and older, but that dropped to 62% for voters under 50. Trump has support from 25% of Black voters from 18 to 49 — three times more than older voters.
Watch the video below:
Trump has doubled his support among Black voters from this point four years ago. If his support held, it'd be the best GOP performance since Richard Nixon in 1960 among Black voters….

NBCUniversal’s Peacock announced Thursday they will be releasing a new documentary series shoving the left’s LGBTQ agenda in America’s face with a twist.
The documentary, titled “Queer Planet,” promises to showcase the full-spectrum” of homosexual behavior in the animal kingdom. The series is scheduled to stream on June 6 as part of the radical-left network’s commemoration of PRIDE month.
“Queer Planet” is narrated by openly gay actor Andrew Rannells. He released a statement bragging how “Queer Planet” opened his eyes to “to the full spectrum of LGBTQ+ behaviors across the natural world” and that he was “excited” to be part of the new series.
“We’ve all heard of gay penguins, but this film really opened my eyes to the full spectrum of LGBTQ+ behaviors across the natural world,” said Rannells.
“And what could be more natural than being who you are?” he continued. “I’m excited to be part of ‘Queer Planet,’ especially during Pride Month, and on Peacock, surely the most colorful and glamorous of all the streaming services.”
Indiewire revealsreveals, the documentary features different “hidden LGBTQ+ communities among animals that have unconventional sexualities and genders” and showcases everything from homosexual penguins, bisexual lions, pansexual primates, and sex-changing clownfish. It will even explore the fauna realm with “multi-gendered mushrooms.”
Per the official synopsis, the series “looks at extraordinary creatures, witnesses amazing behaviors, and introduces the scientists questioning the traditional concept of what’s natural when it comes to sex and gender.”
Below is the official trailer for “Queer Planet.” It opens with a voiceover telling viewers that the “animal kingdom isn’t as simple as black and white” before flashing to a still photo showing a male lion humping another male lion.
A bald individual then appears and asserts, “Everything you were taught as a kid was wrong!” before the trailer continues showcasing supposed LGBTQ animals.
The voiceover boasts, “The idea of having two fixed sexes is clearly out of style,” while an unnamed woman claims, “Mother Nature is pretty open-minded.”
WATCH:
The individuals in the trailer conclude that “sex is not just for reproduction” and that “nature is full of queer surprises.”
In addition to Rannells, IndieWire reports scientists and experts such as author and naturalist Bradley Trevor Greive, ornithologist Dr. Martin Stervander, biologist Dr. Christine Wilkinson, science historian Dr. Ross Brooks, primatologist Dr. Amy Parish, The Vagina Museum director Florence Schechter appear in the documentary.

The son of prominent conservative activist Brent Bozell was sentenced on Friday to nearly four years in prison for protesting in the Capitol building on Jan. 6.
Prosecutors argued Leo Brent Bozell IV leveled a “relentless” assault on the US Capitol, where he smashed a window and walked on the Senate floor.
Bozell was one of the first protesters to enter the building and one of the first to walk on the Senate floor during the Capitol riot.
Bozell’s father founded the Media Research Center, the Parents Television Council, Newsbusters and other leading conservative media organizations.
US District John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, sentenced Bozell to three years and nine months behind bars. Bozell was convicted of 10 charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding.
Bozell apologized to his wife and parents during the sentencing hearing for putting “a stain on my family forever.”
“I don’t recognize that person in the videos,” he told the judge. “I don’t know what I was thinking.”
Bates scolded Bozell for premeditating violence ahead of Jan. 6.
“You had plenty of chances to stop doing what you were doing,” the judge said.
Bates is allowing Bozell to remain free until he reports to prison at a date to be determined.
Prosecutors sought 11 years and eight months in prison for Bozell and attempted to add a terror enhancement to his sentence, contending he led rioters in breaking through police lines and mounted “relentless and sustained attacks” on law enforcement.
“There are few rioters on January 6 who were involved in as many pivotal breaches as Bozell,” the government wrote in Bozell’s 60-page sentencing memorandum.
Bozell’s father submitted a letter to the court when he caught wind of the prosecutors’ intent to add a terrorism enhancement.
“I have remained silent for the past 3 1/2 years because I didn’t want to tip the apple cart of justice,” he wrote. “But given what I saw in the trial, and more importantly learning about this terror enhancement, I no longer can. I believe there is more at play here.
“I am not pleading my son’s innocence, only that his punishment match the crime. I am asking the Court to consider my son’s character that is sterling and is being defended by absolutely everyone around him. I ask that you consider their words as words of honest men and women speaking honest truth. Every single one would recoil in horror in your presence were they told he should now be considered a terrorist.”
Bozell’s attorney, former government prosecutor Bill Shipley, called the judge’s ruling in Bozell’s case a “win.”
“The Government initially prevailed on the Probation Office to calculate Leo’s “Guideline Range” under the US Sentencing Guidelines as 210 – 240 months because Leo was convicted of breaking two windows. Ultimately, the Government’s Sentencing Statement asked for ONLY a sentence of 140 months — just short of 11 years and 8 months,” Shipley wrote on X after his client was sentenced. “Probation recommended 60 months — 5 years. Co-counsel Eric Snyder and I suggested that an appropriate sentence should be no more than 30 months. Today Leo was sentenced to a period of 45 months — 95 months less than the DOJ wanted.
“Terrorism enhancement NOT applied. Only 15 more months than was suggested by the defense. Sometimes in these Jan 6 cases — this is what a “Win” looks like. Maybe not an A+ outcome — but not too far from where our hopes were.”
Bozell was apprehended by the FBI in February 2021. A sedition hunter identified him from the “Hershey Christian Academy” sweatshirt that he wore during the riot.
To date, 1,424 Americans are facing federal charges for protesting on January 6. Of the defendants charged, 820 have taken plea deals while 199 were convicted at trial.
Meanwhile, not a single Hamas supporter has been targeted by the Justice Department for storming the US Capitol or destroying the White House gate.

Boeing whistleblower John Barnett was found dead from a ‘self-inflicted’ gunshot wound inside his vehicle outside a hotel in Charleston, South Carolina as he was testifying against the airplane company.
John Barnett was found dead on March 9 on day three of his deposition against Boeing. He worked for Boeing for 32 years until he retired in 2017.
Barnett came forward with concerns about defective parts and serious problems with the oxygen masks.
The whistleblower told BBC that “sub-standard parts had even been removed from scrap bins and fitted to planes that were being built to prevent delays on the production line.”
“He also claimed that tests on emergency oxygen systems due to be fitted to the 787 showed a failure rate of 25%, meaning that one in four could fail to deploy in a real-life emergency.” – BBC reported.
According to the Charleston County coroner’s report, Barnett died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
“All findings were consistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” the report from Charleston County Coroner Bobbi Jo O’Neal reads, according to Fox News.
Barnett’s manner “is best deemed, ‘Suicide,’” the coroner wrote.
The New York Post obtained Barnett’s suicide note which was found in his vehicle at the time of his death.
“I can’t do this any longer! Enough!” he wrote, according to a suicide note obtained by The Post. “F*ck Boeing.”
“America,” Barnett continued “Come together or die!! I pray the motherf*ckers that destroyed my life pay!!! I pray Boeing pays!!! Bury me face down so Boeing and their lying-ass leaders can kiss my ass.”
The New York Post reported:
In the moments before he apparently shot himself through the left temple, Boeing whistleblower John Barnett sat in the front seat of his orange Dodge Ram truck and scrawled his final thoughts into a notebook.
“I can’t do this any longer! Enough!” he wrote, according to a suicide note obtained by The Post. “F— Boeing.”
“America,” he continued “Come together or die!! I pray the motherf—that destroyed my life pay!!! I pray Boeing pays!!! Bury me face down so Boeing and their lying-ass leaders can kiss my ass.”
In the letter, Barnett also sends missives to his loved ones.
“To my family and friends, I found my purpose,” he wrote. “I’m at peace. I love you more.”
Authorities say they have authenticated the handwriting as belonging to Barnett. Only his fingerprints were found on the notebook.
Barnett’s apparent suicide came after several Boeing planes have been grounded due to major issues with the aircraft’s construction.
A United Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 recently suffered gear failure and crashed off the runway at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
In January a large piece of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX blew out in mid-air.
The plane door flew off amid Boeing’s focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) hiring practices over a passenger’s safety.

The body of Shani Louk was recovered today in Gaza.
R.I.P Shani Louk
Shani was murdered by Hamas barbarians when they targeted a youth concert in southern Israel.
Shani Louk, the 22-year-old German-Israeli tattoo artist, was last seen at a rave party in the northern Negev, where Hamas militants stormed in and killed at least 260 attendees.
Here is a video of Shani Louk before the brutal attack.

Initial reports hinted at Shani Louk being sexually assaulted and killed, with her lifeless body flaunted around Gaza, as an appalling trophy of terrorism. Disturbing images and videos showed the militants spitting on her body, chanting, “Allahu Akbar!” meaning, God is good, as they paraded through the Gaza, bearing Louk’s corpse.
“Only now we got the note that Shani Louk has been confirmed as murdered and dead,” said President Herzog.
“They found her skull, which means these barbaric, sadistic animals, moles, simply chopped off her head when they were attacking and torturing and killing Israelis. It’s a huge tragedy,” he continued.
“This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis. It is a great tragedy and I extend my deepest condolences to her family.”
Samantha Smith reported:
This was Shani Louk.
Kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, her body was only recovered today.
Shani was tortured, raped, and beaten before being murdered and dragged round the streets half-naked as a “trophy” and an example of what would happen to other Israelis.
They broke her legs.
They shot her in the head.
They brutalised and defiled her.All because she was Jewish.
Hamas kept her body as a token and bargaining chip for months, denying her a proper burial and keeping her family in constant torment over their daughter’s resting place.
Hamas even called her mother and pretended that she was alive, only to reveal that she had been killed along with over 1,200 other innocent Israelis.
She was just 22 years old.
The only way they were able to identify her was by a fragment of her skull.
Shani didn’t need to die, and yet Hamas slaughtered her and hundreds of others for no other reason than that they view Jews — and anyone else who doesn’t subscribe to their ideology — as sub-human.
Israel respected the ceasefire.
Israel gave territory for Palestinian use.
Israel wanted peace.Hamas didn’t.
And, through the many previous instances of conflict involving Palestine, it was the Palestinian movement that served as aggressors. Even against third party states who took them in.
Jordan remembers Black September.
Kuwait remembers how the Palestine Liberation Organisation aligned with Saddam Hussein and assisted him in the 1990 Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait.
Lebanon remembers how, when they took in the Palestinians, the PLO massacred Christian civilians, seized control of large areas of Lebanon, and started a civil war.
Palestine’s history is a complex one.
But there is a reason why so many Middle Eastern countries distrust Palestine, and their betrayal of the kindness offered by one-time allies has cast a dark shadow on their relations with much of the non-Islamic world.
The Pro-Palestine crowd want to paint Israel as the villains in this war, but they conveniently “forget” how it started.
So, to those in the West who support Hamas’ actions and believe that they are simply “fighting for Palestine” :
They would do to you what they did to Shani, and they wouldn’t think twice.
So, when you think of the Gaza War, try to look past the anti-Semitic propaganda and remember who really started this war.
Because it wasn’t Shani.
It wasn’t Israel.It was Hamas.
This was Shani Louk.
Kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, her body was only recovered today.

In a shocking display of betrayal, the religious sisterhood of Mount St. Scholastica, co-founders of Benedictine College in Atchinson, Kansas, have shamefully criticized Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.
The NFL star’s crime? Daring to uphold and express the very Catholic teachings that should resonate through the halls of the institution the nuns helped establish.
At the Benedictine College 2024 commencement ceremony, Butker delivered a powerful message on the dignity of life, masculinity, and the most important role of all: motherhood—only to be targeted of those who should be his allies in faith.
During his speech, Butker criticized the moral decay under Biden regime, highlighting the contradiction between Biden’s open Catholic faith and his support for abortion rights. He labeled this a “delusional” act, arguing it deceives the public about being both a Catholic and pro-abortion.
“Our own is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith but, at the same time, is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally. He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I’m sure, to many people, it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice. He is not alone.”
The placekicker didn’t stop at criticizing Biden; he extended his condemnation to other Catholics who support policies contradicting traditional church teachings, particularly around gender identity.
“From the man behind the COVID lockdowns to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common: they are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn’t cut it. These are the things we are told in polite society not to bring up, the difficult and unpleasant things.”
Highlighting the broader societal impacts of “degenerate cultural values in media,” Butker denounced what he referred to as “the gay agenda” and criticized the media’s portrayal of traditional values.
Addressing women directly, Butker emphasized the importance of motherhood and homemaking, praising his wife, Isabelle, as an exemplar of fulfilling her vocation as a wife and mother. He attributed much of his personal and professional success to her dedication to their family.
“I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I’m on the stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation. I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.”
“I say all of this to you because I have seen it firsthand how much happier someone can be when they disregard the outside noise and move closer and closer to God’s will in their life. Isabelle’s dream of having a career might not have come true, but if you asked her today if she has any regrets on her decision, she would laugh out loud, without hesitation, and say, “Heck, No.””
Furthermore, Butker addressed the men in the audience, stressing the essential role of men as leaders and providers in both the home and the wider community. He linked the absence of strong male figures in the home to societal disorder and increased violence, a situation he claims is less prevalent in countries with lower rates of absent fathers.
“To the gentlemen here today: Part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities. As men, we set the tone of the culture, and when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction, and chaos set in. This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation. Other countries do not have nearly the same absentee father rates as we find here in the U.S., and a correlation could be made in their drastically lower violence rates, as well.”
“Be unapologetic in your masculinity, fighting against the cultural emasculation of men. Do hard things. Never settle for what is easy. You might have a talent that you don’t necessarily enjoy, but if it glorifies God, maybe you should lean into that over something that you might think suits you better. I speak from experience as an introvert who now finds myself as an amateur public speaker and an entrepreneur, something I never thought I’d be when I received my industrial engineering degree.”
Butker concluded his message to the graduates saying, “Make no mistake: You are entering into mission territory in a post-God world, but you were made for this. And with God by your side and a constant striving for virtue within your vocation, you too can be a saint. Christ is King. To the Heights.”
However, instead of receiving support from his religious community, Butker faced condemnation. The sisters of Mount St. Scholastica shockingly accused him of fostering division rather than unity by promoting what they described as a “narrow definition” of Catholic values. This accusation comes despite Butker’s alignment with longstanding Church teachings on life and family.
The sisters of Mount St. Scholastica issued the following statement:
The sisters of Mount St. Scholastica do not believe that Harrison Butker’s comments in his 2024 Benedictine College commencement address represent the Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts college that our founders envisioned and in which we have been so invested.
Instead of promoting unity in our church, our nation, and the world, his comments seem to have fostered division. One of our concerns was the assertion that being a homemaker is the highest calling for a woman. We sisters have dedicated our lives to God and God’s people, including the many women whom we have taught and influenced during the past 160 years. These women have made a tremendous difference in the world in their roles as wives and mothers and through their God-given gifts in leadership, scholarship, and their careers.
Our community has taught young women and men not just how to be “homemakers” in a limited sense, but rather how to make a Gospel-centered, compassionate home within themselves where they can welcome others as Christ, empowering them to be the best versions of themselves. We reject a narrow definition of what it means to be Catholic. We are faithful members of the Catholic Church who embrace and promote the values of the Gospel, St. Benedict, and Vatican II and the teachings of Pope Francis.
We want to be known as an inclusive, welcoming community, embracing Benedictine values that have endured for more than 1500 years and have spread through every continent and nation. We believe those values are the core of Benedictine College.
We thank all who are supportive of our Mount community and the values we hold. With St. Benedict, we pray, “Let us prefer nothing whatever to Christ, and may he lead us all together to life everlasting.”
The nuns’ statement has sparked outrage among conservative circles who view this as another example of religious institutions bending to progressive social pressures.

An Interior Department staffer abruptly resigned on Wednesday in protest over the Biden Regime’s stance on the Israel-Gaza war.
Lily Greenberg Call, a Jewish special assistant to the chief of staff in the Department of Interior, resigned in protest and blasted Joe Biden in a phone call with the AP.
In a phone interview with The Associated Press, Call blasted Joe Biden’s comments on Israel and Jews.
“In an interview with The Associated Press, Call pointed to comments by Biden, including at a White House Hanukkah event where he said “Were there no Israel, there wouldn’t be a Jew in the world who was safe” and at an event at Washington’s Holocaust Memorial last week in which he said the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attacks that triggered the war were driven by an “ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people.”” The AP reported.
“He is making Jews the face of the American war machine. And that is so deeply wrong,” Call told the AP, noting that ancestors of hers were killed by “state-sponsored violence.”
In her resignation letter, Call said she was initially excited to join the Biden Administration: “However, I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this administration,” she wrote in a letter.
