President Biden’s inconsistent handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict is straining relations with Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu, the US’s primary ally in the Middle East. At the same time, the uncoordinated and conflicting policy decisions make the US appear weak, encouraging terrorists and adversaries in the region and around the globe. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) criticized Biden, stating, “President Biden has continued to embolden Iran through weak policies, allowing Iran to fund terrorist attacks against our allies.” Initially, the President pledged his support for Israel, but then later announced that he would pause the delivery of some US weapons and ammunition to Israel. Now, it seems that Biden is moving forward with a $1 billion arms sale to Israel.
President Biden said that he is frustrated with Netanyahu’s handling of the conflict, saying that too many civilians have died. He criticizes the Prime Minister for not using targeted enough attacks, thus resulting in more civilian casualties. On the other hand, according to Senator JD Vance (R-OH), Biden is withholding advanced US weapons which could be used to target more directly against Hamas, reducing civilian casualties.
A good example is Israel’s ability to conduct targeted attacks, such as the strike against a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, whom Israel assassinated in Syria last month. Not only were civilian casualties kept to a minimum, but several of his assistants, including another general, were also killed, dealing a significant blow to Iran’s ability to fight in the region.
There have been no serious demands from the White House for the hostages to be released, including the Americans. However, the president is on TV condemning Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza. Providing a view from outside of the United States, former senior British military intelligence officer Philip Ingram suggests that Hamas is watching and most likely feels that all they have to do is wait. Eventually, the support from the US and the world will wane, and Hamas will survive.
And if Hamas survives, the attacks will continue. Hamas leaders have publicly stated that they plan to commit future attacks similar to October 7th. Mr. Ingram has gone so far as to call Biden and the pro-Palestine protestors “useful idiots” because they are applying pro-Hamas pressure on Western governments without Hamas having to do anything.
Defenders of President Biden’s policies say that he is working from a position of lessons the US allegedly learned in Vietnam and Afghanistan. However, if the US had actually learned from Vietnam, the US would never have had to face the same situation in Afghanistan. In fact, if the US had learned from the French in Vietnam, the US would never have had to learn their own lessons from Vietnam. Given the US track record in the Middle East, it is illogical for President Biden to “micromanage” Israel’s war.
After the US let down the Afghanis and the Kurds, and now that there are widespread pro-Hamas and anti-American protests sweeping US college campuses, Netanyahu must be questioning President Biden’s commitment to US national security, much less Israel’s. A country so riddled with security threats, including open borders which are allowing terrorists, transnational crime, and narcotrafficking organizations to operate within the US, has no place telling Israel how to handle its own national security.
Netanyahu has his goals and objectives, and his strategy seems to be working. As of December, Israel claimed they were at the halfway mark in the war, and the IDF continues to make gains against the terrorists. Hamas began the war by killing 1,200 unarmed civilians. Now that they are being defeated, they are trying to tap out, to get the world community to come in and stop Israel. At the same time, Hamas is literally and figuratively hiding behind its own civilian population. Hamas does not wear uniforms, so even when Israel kills Hamas terrorists, the organization can claim that Israel is targeting civilians. Therefore, while it is unfortunate that innocent people are being killed, they were put in harm’s way by Hamas; consequently, defeating Hamas will sadly result in collateral damage.
The only way for peace is to defeat Hamas as a military organization. There is no way to defeat or eliminate the ideology, but by rooting out the commanders and military-trained battalions, Israel will be in a much better position. At the end of the day, the reason why Egypt and other Arab nations will not accept the refugees is that they also fear and hate Hamas. Saudi Arabia, in particular, is just concerned about making money. They have no time for terrorists. Consequently, if Israel is allowed to finish the job, decimating Hamas’s ability to wage war, the offensive will stop, the images and videos will fade from headlines, and the Israel-Gaza offensive will fade into the memory hole. At that point, it will be much easier for Israel and Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other regional powers to normalize relations, creating an anti-Iran coalition and bringing greater stability to the region.
Senator Vance put it this way, “Our goal in the Middle East should be to allow the Israelis to get to some good place with the Saudi Arabians and other Gulf Arab states. There is no way that we can do that unless the Israelis finish the job with Hamas.”

Another Biden foreign policy catastrophe.
Molly Phee, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, did a bang up job in Niger. Now US forces are being told to leave the country pivotal to US national defense.
Nigerien Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine recently spoke to reporters and blamed US State Department official Molly Phee of threatening the current leaders while negotiating US military presence in the country.
The Nigerian leader blamed Phee for the complete breakdown in relations. Zeine described his reaction to Molly Phee when she came to lecture the Nigerien leaders in March, “You have come here to threaten us in our country. That is unacceptable. And you have come here to tell us with whom we can have relationships, which is also unacceptable. And you have done it all with a condescending tone and a lack of respect.
In April we learned about Joe Biden’s most recent foreign policy disaster in Niger, Africa. US troops are trapped in the country allegedly without water and medicine at the time. The Army was likely hiding this to protect itself from the embarrassment. Deployed Americans were in limbo and unable to do their jobs and the Biden State Department was completely outmaneuvered once again.
Thanks to brilliant negotiating skills by Biden appointed diplomats US military will leave Niger and leave behind a $100 million airbase to the current anti-American rulers.
The USA confirms it will pull out of Niger.
1000 soldiers will leave after having been told to get out by the new Russian-friendly military junta
They will leave the $110 mln airbase built a few years ago from which the US has been running its drone operations against AQ & ISIS pic.twitter.com/UwCLn79acW
— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) April 20, 2024
On top of that news broke last week that Russian troops have now entered the US airbase in the nation’s capital, Niamey.
The Russians will cohabitate with the remaining Americans at the US Airbase 101.
This is another humiliation of US troops by Joe Biden.
Now we find out it was US diplomat working for Joe Biden who destroyed this important relationship with Niger.
Via Stars and Stripes.
A crucial military relationship between the United States and its closest West African ally, the country of Niger, ruptured this spring after a visiting U.S. official made threats during last-ditch negotiations over whether American troops based there would be allowed to remain, according to the country’s prime minister.
In an exclusive interview, Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine put the blame for the breakdown squarely on the United States, accusing American officials of trying to dictate which countries Niger could partner with and failing to justify the U.S. troop presence, now scheduled to end in the coming months. Niger has been central to efforts to contain a growing Islamist insurgency in West Africa.
The rift between the former allies has created an opportunity for Russia, which has moved quickly to deepen its relationship with Niger, dispatching troops to the capital, Niamey, last month to train the Nigerien military and supplying a new air defense system. Russian and U.S. troops now occupy opposite ends of an air base.
After a military coup d’état ousted Niger’s democratically elected president last year, the United States froze security support as required by U.S. law and paused counterterrorism activities, which had involved intelligence gathering on regional militant activities from a massive drone base in the country’s north. The United States has kept more than 1,000 military personnel in place while negotiating with Niger over their status and urging the junta to begin restoring democracy…
Stars and Stripes then reveals the genius in the Biden State Department who destroyed US relations with Niger and how she did it.
He said the Nigerien leaders took particular umbrage at remarks by Molly Phee, the State Department’s top official for African affairs, who he said had urged the government during a March visit to Niamey to refrain from engaging with Iran and Russia in ways objectionable to Washington if Niger wanted to continue its security relationship with the United States. He also said Phee had further threatened sanctions if Niger pursued a deal to sell uranium to Iran.
“When she finished, I said, ‘Madame, I am going to summarize in two points what you have said,’” recounted Zeine, who has led negotiations with the United States. “First, you have come here to threaten us in our country. That is unacceptable. And you have come here to tell us with whom we can have relationships, which is also unacceptable. And you have done it all with a condescending tone and a lack of respect.”

Donald Trump may be in line to receive a major congressional award, and the Democrats will likely not be very happy if it comes to pass.
Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is hoping to give former President Donald Trump a major congressional award “in recognition of his exceptional leadership and dedication to strengthening America’s diplomatic relations during his presidency,” Fox News reported.
Rep. Luna is leading a group of other GOP representatives who want to give Trump the Congressional Gold Medal. Joining the Florida congresswoman is fellow Floridian Mike Waltz, Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, and Randy Weber of Texas.
“President Trump’s fearless leadership reestablished America as a respected and admired global power,” Luna said.
“It is time we recognize a president who put our country first and secured global peace through bold diplomacy,” she added.
“Despite the liberal media’s attempts to spread fear, America and the world were undoubtedly safer under President Donald Trump. One of our duties in Congress is to honor those who have contributed significantly to our nation, and that’s why I’m introducing this legislation,” she said.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal are the two highest civilian awards in the U.S.
Despite endorsing Ron DeSantis earlier this year, Republican and House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good is also supporting Luna’s proposal.
“President Trump did more in four years on behalf of the American people than any president in my lifetime. He secured our border, achieved historic peace in the Middle East, and implemented policies that helped our economy prosper,” Good said of the medal proposal.
“The last three years of a failed Biden administration have only served as a stark contrast to President Trump’s record,” he added.
Other recipients have included the Dalai Lama, members of the Tuskegee Airmen, golfer Jack Nicklaus, and many others, Politico added.
If Trump were to be awarded the medal, he would be the first former president to receive the award since Ronald Reagan was honored in 2000, the Washington Examiner wrote.
Before Reagan, other presidents honored by the medal include George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Harry Truman, and Gerald Ford.
Still, it seems unlikely that Trump will receive the honor. While it is likely the House of Representatives could agree to the measure and pass it onto the Senate, it seems far less likely that the upper chamber will agree and add their imprimatur to the proposal.
GOP House members have tried a number of ways to show their support for the former president. Rep. Reschenthaler, for instance, proposed that Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia be renamed as the Donald J. Trump International Airport.
Embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson also showed up to support Trump when he appeared in Manhattan during the former president’s corporate records trial.
Donald Trump most certainly deserves an award such as this, far more than the man currently occupying the White House. As every move Biden makes seems to make life more difficult — and even more dangerous — for Americans, Trump is trying to put America back on the right track.

You just knew this was coming…
Far left councilor Daniel Gómez del Barrio stepped down from the Illescas city council after he posted photos and video of himself eating his own sh*t.
Daniel Gómez del Barrio is a member of the PSOE, the country’s main leftist party in Spain, whose leader is currently the Prime Minister.
Daniel was the councilor of Youth, Children, and Family on the city council.
The video of Daniel Gomez del Barrio eating sh*t was leaked online. The mayor fired him In April.
Daniel wanted described his desire to be a whore and used as a urinal.
The Publica reported:
A report from French news source FDS claimed that the politician was offering himself up for sexual use, and described himself as wanting to be “exposed, humiliated, degraded.” He also described his desire to “eat c*cks, be a whore, and be used as a urinal,” with El Diairo also claiming he referred to himself as a “sexual slave.”
According to ABC Spain, Gómez reported the leaking of the photographs and videos to the police, who began investigating the matter. He attended the February council meeting “with total normality,” where the leaks were only a “residual issue,” a source told ABC Spain. However, on March 22, more photographs of the councillor began to spread around the town during the traditional Palm Sunday celebrations, and “nothing else was talked about” by the residents of the small community.
Earlier this week a leftist Martin Neumaier, a candidate from the Free Democratic Party (FDP), a liberal party in Germany, was caught on video licking public urinals on video and singing the Nazi-era anthem while using an anal dildo.

The rapper Lizzo has credited anti-Israel activists for helping her recover from a recent bout of depression.
In a post on her Instagram page, Lizzo said that the pro-Palestinian protests across the U.S. and around the world have “activated” her desire to live.
She explained:
I just want to take a second and give a personal thank you to all of the activists who have been working tirelessly to help the liberation and the freedom of the people who have been genocided (sic) all over the world, specifically Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo. On a personal note, you have activated me. I was in a deep dark depression. I had some mental health crises and episodes over the last nine months. And I was not present.
I also want to take this moment and thank all of the anti-genocide, anti-war protests that have been happening at collage campuses. What these students have done and are doing is so deeply important. I can’t even express it in one video.
The singer, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, is currently facing a lawsuit from three former employees who accused her of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment and racial and religious discrimination.
Despite her artistic success, Lizzo is the subject of widespread mockery for her unappealing appearance, which she often excaerbates by wearing suggestive and highly revealing clothing. She is also an ardent supporter of Joe Biden and recently attended a fundraiser for his presidential campaign.
Last month, she abruptly announced that she was quitting the music industry before quickly backtracking on her pledge.
“When I say ‘I quit’, I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention,” she said in a video at the time. “What I’m not gonna quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people, because I know I’m not alone. In no way shape or form am I the only person who is experiencing that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive.”

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker really hit a nerve with his commencement speech for Benedictine College’s 2024 graduation.
Chronically online leftists had a bone to pick with every word in his speech besides “the” and “is,” calling him “misogynistic, “homophobic,” and “hateful” for proclaiming truths all Christians believed until about five minutes ago.
But, for the left, the most “offensive” part of the speech came in a clip shared to the social media platform X by the account Christian Nightmares.
Jesus Christ… pic.twitter.com/bY9bE2XwUm
— Christian Nightmares (@ChristnNitemare) May 14, 2024
In the clip, Butker addressed the graduating ladies of Benedictine College, congratulating them on their “amazing accomplishment.”
He directed his attention to them because “it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.” He continued, saying that, while many of them were probably thinking about their potential careers, more of them were likely “most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”
And here came the part that made leftist social media start melting in rage like the Wicked Witch of the West: “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 this stage, and able to be the man I am, because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.”
Choking up as he thought about his beloved wife, he concluded, “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.”
Now, for most Christians, especially of a conservative bent, what he said was not only uncontroversial, but wonderfully refreshing.
But for the left, he couldn’t have provoked more rage than if he advocated for indiscriminate puppy-murder.
USA Today, reporting on the speech, decried Butker’s use of the word “vocation” as a 1950’s throwback, before castigating his views as “antiquated,” “extremist” and “Neanderthalic.”
Podcaster and former MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann led the charge on X, disparaging Butker by saying, he “isn’t even considered an actual football player by other football players and he’s going to spew his bulls*** religion-based misogyny without consequences?”
Others quickly followed suit, with one user contending that “Colin Kaepernick was threatened, blacklisted, condemned for peacefully taking a knee in protest against racial injustice/police brutality, but Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gives a misogynistic, bigoted, homophobic speech and it’s fine? Racism.”

Another user asked rhetorically, “So, have the @Chiefs fired this incel yet? #Boycott #Chiefs until they do. Women and LGBTQ hater —-> Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker unleashes on Pride month, Biden during commencement address.”

Now, one of the odd things about this extreme backlash to Butker’s words was that, for one, many forgot or never bothered to learn the context of the speech.
This was at a conservative, Catholic college — what did they expect a commencement speaker at a Catholic college to say?
For another, Butker has never made any secret regarding his faith.
At the commencement speech for Georgia Tech last year, he encouraged the young women there to marry and have children, and his social media bios proudly proclaim “Christus Regnat” (or, Christ reigns).
A quick look at his twitter feed shows him praising God and quoting a saint or Scripture with almost every picture he posts.
“The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment and to thank God for what He is sending us every day in His goodness.” – Saint Gianna Beretta Molla pic.twitter.com/MR2FeFeOPs
— Harrison Butker (@buttkicker7) November 26, 2021
And, contrary to all the haters on social media, he never said women shouldn’t pursue a career — he never once told women they should “get back in the kitchen.”
Instead, he praised the inherent goodness of a vocation denigrated by feminists and those on the left and pointed out how this important role has been demeaned by the lies that women need a career to be “fulfilled.”
But, clearly, Butker’s words hit a raw nerve, almost more so than his anti-LGBT and pro-life messages he also proclaimed at the commencement address.
Perhaps some of the left knew what he was saying was true and hated the reminder, lashing out accordingly.
Hopefully, Butker will not only stand firm in the face of all this unmerited backlash, but also continue to proclaim the truth of the Gospel and the roles of men and women, with even more fearlessness and tenacity.

Wednesday sure has been a day of unpredictable developments regarding the 2024 presidential election.
From Joe Biden finally challenging Donald Trump to a debate, to Trump accepting despite the Biden team’s stringent requirements, the day has been a whirlwind of a dizzying news cycle.
And now, Trump has issued Biden a challenge of his own.
Posting on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump told Biden, “Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that I hereby accept debating Crooked Joe Biden on FoxNews. The date will be Wednesday, October 2nd. The Hosts will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.”
As reported in the The Guardian, Biden has yet to directly respond to, or accept, Trump’s invitation.
Though, considering the laundry list of demands Biden’s campaign presented before accepting any debate — including removing the audience, moving up the date historically early, and, crucially, only accepting moderators from friendly left-wing networks — it would seem only fair for Biden to join Trump for a debate on Trump-friendly territory as well.
However, Deadline noted that, while Biden himself has not answered directly, his campaign has.
Characterizing Trump’s offer as “playing games,” campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon declared, “No more chaos, no more debate about debates.”
“President Biden made his terms clear for two one-on-one debates, and Donald Trump accepted those terms,” she said.
Of course, why it was Biden who could create the terms and not any opponent has yet to be explained.
Typically, the only terms presidential candidates followed for debates were those set by the Commission for Presidential Debates, but the two bypassed the commission.
Why Biden has been allowed to call for all manner of historically unprecedented concessions for his degenerating health and mental state would probably be a question not even his campaign could answer.
As The Federalist noted in their story on this whole saga, Biden’s demands were “laughably transparent,” bespeaking of a man who was only agreeing to a debate under the necessity of his ghastly poll numbers and striving to minimize any possible chance of embarrassment.
Unlike Biden, Trump’s mind is clear as ever, and he has no fear of speaking or being seen in public.
Trump wants to torch Biden and has capitalized on every opportunity to take him on.
Trump is as fiery as ever.
Biden might not accept Trump’s offer of a Fox News debate, but it only serves to make Biden look bad.
At this point, the only thing Biden is better at than Trump is shooting himself in the foot.

A recent New York Times poll was full of good news for Donald Trump and MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ host Joe Scarborough just can’t deal.
This week, he actually accused the New York Times polling of pro-Trump bias. Does anyone believe that’s true?
Scarborough’s rant was just theater. He knows Joe Biden watches the show, so he is making arguments that he knows Biden wants to hear.
NewsBusters provides a transcript:
HEILEMANN: I’m not saying it’s not close. I’m not going to carry water for the New York Times or the methodology of this poll. I would keep going back to the thing that I try to say every time we talk about these things. Which is, that I’m really interested in — and I know you know this. What are the polls showing us directionally about the race?
SCARBOROUGH: I understand. There’s a difference, though, with the New York Times/ Siena poll, and you know this. It’s given disproportionate impact. This year, this cycle, it is skewed wildly in Donald Trump’s direction. [Heilemann tries to speak.]
Hold on. And the New York Times feasts on it with clickbait stories, like, a dozen at a time.
HEILEMANN: And I, what I’m trying to focus on is what I think people should pay attention to [tries to continue]–
SCARBOROUGH: — [Interrupting] But what I’m trying to focus on is, the New York Times right now is actively shaping the election cycles, where this poll comes out on a Sunday, and on Monday, people go, oh — and I heard it! And I’m sitting there going, don’t be so stupid.
That’s why we’re doing this. [Heilemann tries to respond. Scarborough shouts.]

The liberal outlet Politico is reporting that Biden aides are worried about the president suffering ‘psychological torment’ over his son Hunter’s trial.
The media is truly beyond parody.
Can you imagine any media outlet reporting something like this about the Trump family and his trials? It would never happen.
From Politico:
Biden aides worry about psychological torment as Hunter heads for trial
President Joe Biden will soon have to watch and wait as 12 jurors in his home state decide whether his son is guilty of felony gun charges — a case brought by his own Justice Department.
For the White House, the scenario of Hunter Biden’s first criminal trial, all but assured to start June 3, is an unprecedented event in American political history that they hoped never to face.
While aides insist that the White House will have no involvement in the case, brought by special counsel David Weiss, some fear it could dramatically impact the president himself, more psychologically than politically.
Three advisers granted anonymity to speak about private deliberations said they, and members of the First Family, are worried about the weight Hunter Biden’s trial will place on the president at an already difficult time for him politically. Biden has expressed fears to them about the possibility that his son will serve time in prison.
“He worries about Hunter every single day, from the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep,” said one of the three advisers. “That will only pick up during a trial.”

Pamela Price, the district attorney in Oakland, California who was elected with backing from George Soros, is going to face a recall vote in November.
Crime has gotten so out of control in Oakland that multiple businesses such as In and Out Burger have fled the city in recent months.
Price is a supporter of the ‘social justice’ approach to law enforcement that has unleashed massive crime problems in multiple American cities.
The Oaklandside reports:
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price will face recall election in November
Oakland voters, mark your calendars. The question of whether or not Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price should be allowed to fill out the rest of her term will be decided on Nov. 5, 2024.
The county Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to consolidate the recall with the general election, which will include local, state, and federal races and ballot measures. Supervisors Lena Tam and David Haubert attended part of the meeting but were excused before the vote.
Proponents of the recall wanted the county to hold a special election this summer that would solely feature the recall question. County staff have said this would cost around $15-20 million, factoring in expenses for hundreds of election workers, printing ballots and election materials, postage, and setting up vote centers. In comparison, the cost of adding the recall question to the November general election ballot will be $4 million…
“We need justice for our babies, and actually nothing is going to change if Pamela Price is still in office,” said Brenda Angulo, whose 15-year-old son Erick Portillo was murdered in Hayward last year. “I don’t understand why it’s an issue economically.”
Price is vowing to fight the recall.
From Mercury News:
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price goes on offensive, vows to defeat recall effort
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price went on the offensive Wednesday, vowing to prevail against a well-heeled recall attempt that will be decided on a packed November presidential election ballot…
Backed by more than a dozen supporters holding signs proclaiming “Protect the Win,” Price framed the recall campaign as a bid to “overturn” the results of the 2022 election, during which she became the first Black woman to serve as Alameda County’s top prosecutor.
If the people of Oakland want things to change, they need to vote this woman out of office, and it can be done.

An explosion was reported at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company plant in north Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday afternoon, leaving one seriously injured.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biden made an appearance in Arizona in late 2022 before the plant opened to announce a $40 billion investment while visiting the computer chip plant while struggling to read off the teleprompter.
Earlier this year, Biden announced another $8.5 billion investment with Intel for a major CHIPS and Science Act award and gave a rambling incoherent speech to a few rows of people at the Intel Ocotillo Campus in Chandler, Arizona.
This came after DEI – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion – killed the CHIPS Act.
“The Biden administration recently promised it will finally loosen the purse strings on $39 billion of CHIPS Act grants to encourage semiconductor fabrication in the U.S. But less than a week later, Intel announced that it’s putting the brakes on its Columbus factory. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has pushed back production at its second Arizona foundry. The remaining major chipmaker, Samsung, just delayed its first Texas fab.” The Hill reported.
“This is not the way companies typically respond to multi-billion-dollar subsidies. So what explains chipmakers’ apparent ingratitude? In large part, frustration with DEI requirements embedded in the CHIPS Act.” the Hill reported.
The far-left Guardian reported last August,
Posed in front of an American flag and a large banner reading “A Future Made in America Phoenix, AZ,” Joe Biden told a crowd of assembled workers, supporters and media last December: “American manufacturing is back, folks.”
Eight months on, the Phoenix microchip plant – the centerpiece of Biden’s $52.7bn US hi-tech manufacturing agenda – is struggling to get online.
The plant’s owner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the largest chip maker in the world, has pushed back plans to start manufacturing to 2025, blaming a lack of skilled labor. It is trying to fast-track visas for 500 Taiwanese workers. Unions, meanwhile, are accusing TSMC of inventing the skills shortage as an excuse to hire cheaper, foreign labor. Others point to safety issues at the plant.
The Arizona project is the flagship in the president’s efforts to tout the law’s effects and TSMC’s promised $40bn investment in US chip production plant is one of the largest foreign investments in US history and the largest ever in Arizona.
Despite the failure to launch, The Biden Administration celebrated increased funding under the CHIPS Act into TSMC's Arizona plant in a press release last month.
Now, the plant has exploded.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Wednesday morning, a barge also collided with the Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston, Texas.
Disasters in Biden's America are a regular occurrence.
AZ Central reports,
Firefighters from multiple departments responded to a reported hazardous materials call on Wednesday afternoon at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company plant in north Phoenix, according to the Phoenix Fire Department.
Firefighters from the Phoenix, Glendale and Daisy Mountain fire departments were dispatched to TSMC, near Dove Valley and 43rd Avenue, about 2:30 p.m., according to Phoenix fire officials.
The call was made as a result of an explosion at the plant, according to the Phoenix Fire Department.
One adult male, who was reported to be a worker at the site, was taken to a hospital for serious injuries, authorities said.

Lily Tang Williams is a Republican who is running for congress in New Hampshire. She is also a survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution in communist China.
She sees history repeating itself with the radical campus protests and even compared the protesters to Mao’s Red Guard.
It’s an apt comparison.
FOX News reports:
Survivor of Mao’s political purge getting ‘PTSD’ watching history repeat on college campuses
A survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution says she is experiencing post-traumatic stress witnessing history repeat itself on college campuses as “Marxist hordes” have taken over in anti-American and anti-Israel demonstrations.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Lily Tang Williams, who is currently running as a Republican candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd district, said she fears the country she left is coming back to haunt her again in the United States.
“I sometimes I get nervous, and I feel like I’m having a little bit of PTSD and like I can’t sleep well whenever I see the way they’re chanting, using drums and us[ing] slogans, [are] humiliating people and have a huge amount of young people…chanting ‘Death to America,’ not just ‘Death to Israel.’ I just feel like, oh my goodness the… Red Guards are in action again,” she said.
The Red Guard was a massive student-led, paramilitary social movement in China that was mobilized by Chairman Mao Zedong in 1966.

Some protesters have come right out and said that the campus protests are really about a socialist revolution, so this woman’s concerns are valid.
It is like the Red Guard all over again.

BREAKING UPDATE: Prominent leftist writer Juraq Cintula was arrested following the attempted assassination of populist Slovakian President Robert Fico.
reported earlier — Conservative-Populist Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot today and severely injured outside a government meeting.
Robert Fico was shot FIVE TIMES by the deranged leftist!
There is video of Robert Fico being dragged to this car after he was shot.
Cintula was the founder of the organization “Movement Against Violence.”
The man who shot the PM Fico – 71 year old Slovak poet Juraj Cintula, supporter of the Progressive Slovakia party – was a founder of the so called “Movement against violence”. Here is its manifest published in 2016. Its declared goal was to “unite people, preserve peace and… https://t.co/nsVhKoEph8 pic.twitter.com/tWZyECU3Wc

BREAKING:
Fico’s current condition is unknown.
Prime Minister Fico, a populist conservative and Trump-supporter, who immediately ended military aid to Ukraine when he was sworn in as Prime Minister. Fico is against mass immigration and rejected the WHO Global Pandemic Accord that would turn Slovakian control over to a corrupt international body.
Following his shooting today and as he was fighting for his life in a Slovakian hospital, a British Sky News commenter came close to justifying the assassination attempt against PM Robert Fico. Then he compared him to Prime Minister Victor Orban in Hungary.
“It’s not surprising this event took place… He’s become very pro-Russian.”
Unsurprisingly, Sky News has literally justified the assassination attempt on Slovakian PM Robert Fico. Despicable ghouls.

Maryland GOP Congressional candidate Kim Klacik is back after making headlines in 2020 with an incredible campaign as “the first Black female Republican candidate running for a Maryland Congressional seat, ever.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kim Klacik made quite the scene with her EPIC campaign advertisement, exposing the Democrats’ hypocritical Black Lives Matter scam and the rotting city of Baltimore. She also crushed it at the 2020 Republican National Convention in August.
Tens of millions of you have shared the struggle of black people in Baltimore. You cared about our black lives more than our own leaders.
They have done nothing for us.
Now they can’t hide.

After tragically losing the 2020 General Election to Democrat Kweisi Mfume, she’s back on the general election ticket in 2024. This year, after redistricting, Kim Klacik is better positioned to win and help President Trump pass through his MAGA agenda. “These lines were drawn when a Republican held the seat, so we’re feeling very optimistic about it,” said Klacik.
Additionally, Klacik was endorsed by former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday. Ramaswamy has built a large fan base among Republican and Independent voters while staunchly backing Trump even when running against him.

In the Tuesday primary, Klacik was declared the winner with a staggering 64% of the vote. It wasn’t even close.
Only an hour after the polls closed, she was predicted winner and gave a victory speech:

See all Maryland primary results here.
Klacik spoke to The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson on Tuesday night, just after polls closed in Maryland.
We discussed Joe Biden’s Southern Border Crisis and what she predicts will happen in Maryland following President Trump’s MASSIVE rally of 100,000 supporters just hours away in Wildwood, New Jersey.
The Gateway Pundit recently reported on Trump’s mega rally and his plan to campaign in formerly blue states, which he says will flip for him.
Klacik also commented on New Gen 47 PAC’s venture to swing low-propensity young and minority voters to the Republican ticket by hosting concerts with A-list musicians and celebrities.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, New Gen 47 PAC, founded by LJ Fino, President of First Class Records, and PR consultant Alex Fahmy, is holding a rap concert with rap star Waka Flocka Flame next month in Miami. Get tickets HERE:

Watch the full interview below:
Conradson: You broke onto the scene in 2020 with a bombshell video, you know, exposing the ruin of Baltimore nowadays. What's different about this year running for Congress?
Klacik: Well look, unfortunately, we have the same problems. And I think that's why we're back at it again. I mean, here we are four years later, and we're dealing with the same issues, whether it's crime and violence, a southern border that's not secured, we've got a problem with jobs, opportunities, the economy, gas prices are still high. And so, it's unfortunate that we're dealing with the same issues. And so we thought, You know what, we're gonna give it another go. As many people know, we had redistricting here in Maryland. I'm in the second congressional district. These lines were drawn when a Republican held the seat, so we're feeling very optimistic about it, and we definitely need a lot of people’s support going forward. But this is a time to send another Republican down to Capitol Hill within the Maryland delegation, and we're excited.
Conradson: I just came back from New Jersey where there were 100,000 people at Wildwood Beach for President Trump. How will that resonate to the region as a whole? Do you expect Maryland to go more red, possibly for President Trump, and how will that affect your race?
Klacik: I think so. I think, you know, a lot of people talked about the suburban women in 2020. But, if you listen to suburban women today, a lot of people are saying, ‘You know what, despite how I feel about his personality, I really want his policies.’ And there are a lot of women that are moms that are looking at what's going on in the schools, and parental rights is something that's very important, keeping female sports female; this is something that President Trump talks about often. And I think this is when we're gonna get a lot of suburban women supporting the Republican Party, supporting President Trump. As you said, you were in New Jersey, and I have to say, in New Jersey, you're gonna see some seats flip, and I think the governorship is going to flip. I think they're going to make it happen, and I think here in the state of Maryland we're going to see something similar.
Conradson: Another thing I notice, of course, soaring crime here in Baltimore, but I'm coming from Arizona. I wouldn't have expected to see every single day, day after day, I'm seeing more and more illegal immigrants here in Baltimore, out there in DC, They're flying them all over the country. What are you going to do in Congress to stop not only the soaring crime, but the illegal immigration crisis and flying illegals thousands of miles across the country?
Klacik: Yeah, it's time that we really do something about it. I mean, obviously, we have to secure the southern border. There are many people talking today saying, ‘look, we don't even feel like we have a border at this point because the way that it's open,’ and a lot of people are not gonna want to hear this, but it's going to be time for some deportations. We have a situation, a crisis, a humanitarian crisis that we cannot sustain at all, and it is taking a toll on our resources, our hospitals, our schools. And you know what? I want to put Americans first that's what it's about. It's about dealing with what's going on at home, and right now, I see us giving a ton of money to illegal immigrants, yet we're ignoring our children and some of these schools, we're ignoring our veterans, we're ignoring those that really have been here and has served our country, and we just can't do that anymore.
Conradson: One other thing I want to ask you about: my good friends, Alex Fahmy and LJ Fino, they have this New Gen 47 PAC. They're going to be holding pretty incredible events, historic events, you know, they have a rap concert coming up in June with Waka Flocka Flame in Miami. What do you think an event like that, a concert with Waka Flocka or other A-list famous rappers would have, what kind of impact do you think that would have on Baltimore City or Baltimore County?
Klacik: This is what we need. It's like we're winning the war when it comes to policies, but we’re also winning the culture war. People are tired of what they're seeing on a day-to-day basis. And just so people understand, even in black communities, we're seeing the crime and violence soar just like everywhere else. We don't want criminals in our neighborhood. We don't want to defund the police. We don't want to vilify our police. We love to back the blue, and so we gotta get back to common sense core values and our morals, and I think everybody can agree on that.

According to an investigation conducted by the Office of Inspector General, an FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) illegally directed a subordinate to give his spouse a cash award.
When the unidentified agent got caught for ethical violations pertaining to a financial conflict of interest, they retired and refused to cooperate with the Office of Inspector General.
The Department of Justice declined to prosecute the SAC.
“The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated an investigation after receiving information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Inspection Division, alleging that a then FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) had assigned the SAC’s spouse, who worked within the SAC’s chain of command, to serve on a committee and then arranged for the committee members, including the spouse, to receive cash awards in recognition of such service,” the Office of Inspector General wrote in an investigative summary.
The SAC directed a subordinate to give his spouse a cash bonus.
“The OIG investigation substantiated the allegation that the SAC had an imputed financial interest in the spouse’s receipt of the cash award, and that the SAC violated federal ethics regulations and related FBI policies when the SAC—without seeking prior authorization to participate in the matter—orchestrated the spouse’s receipt of the award by directing a subordinate to complete the paperwork necessary for the spouse to receive the award,” the OIG wrote.
The SAC retired and refused to cooperate with the Office of Inspector General.
“The SAC retired from the FBI prior to being contacted by the OIG for an interview. When later contacted by the OIG for a voluntary interview, the SAC declined to be interviewed. The OIG has the authority to compel testimony from current DOJ employees upon informing them that their statements will not be used to incriminate them in a criminal proceeding. The OIG does not have the authority to compel or subpoena testimony from former DOJ employees, including those who retire or resign during an OIG investigation.” the OIG wrote.
The Justice Department declined to prosecute the SAC and they will retire with a pension for life.

With the overwhelming successes that the Russian Federation forces are enjoying in the North near Kharkov, and the relentless push in the eastern Donetsk Oblast, the situation of the Ukrainian defenders is as bad as it’s ever been in this war.
In this context of near breakdown in the Ukrainian lines in several points, President Volodymyr Zelensky decided to postpone all his foreign trips.
There is also the fact that his Constitutional presidential mandate expires on May 20th, meaning that, after cancelling elections, he will be an illegitimate president, kept in place by force.
The battlefield situation continues to deteriorate with Kiev having to acknowledge that Russian troops have entered the city of Volchansk in Kharkov region.
The imminent capture of this locality would be Russia’s most significant conquest in this fast-paced new offensive, and it is forcing Ukrainian Commander in Chief Oleksandr Syrsky to send whatever reinforcements he can find to the region to prevent a general breakdown.
Reuters reported:
“The assault keeps Ukraine’s forces, also holding the 1,000 km (600 mile) front line in east and south, off balance ahead of what Zelensky has said could be a big Russian offensive in the coming weeks. Moscow has been slowly making ground in the east for months.
‘The situation is extremely difficult. The enemy is taking positions on the streets of the town of Volchansk’, Oleksiy Kharkovskyi, Volchansk’s patrol police chief, said on Facebook.
Dmytro Lazutkin, a spokesman for the defense ministry, said ‘some’ Russian infantry groups had entered the town. Ukrainian troops later managed to ‘partially’ push them back, the general staff said, but ‘defensive actions’ raged in the north and northwestern outskirts.”
Russian forces captured the settlements of Glubokoye and Lukyantsy in Kharkov region. This comes as the single accomplishment of the Ukrainian Summer offensive, Rabotino in the Zaporozhye region, has also been recaptured by Moscow.
Kharkov city is now within artillery range.
Ukraine pulled back to new positions in the Volchansk area due to ‘a consequence of enemy fire and storming action’.
“Ukraine is trying to snuff out the assault in the Kharkov region, while holding the line against Moscow’s main thrust in the eastern Donbas region and guarding against potential new border incursions.
The top military spy has warned that Russia had small groups of forces located to the north of Kharkov region along its border with the Sumy region.”
Ukraine’s shortage of troops has left them outmaneuvered by the enemy. As reinforcements are sent north, there is a risk of breakthrough in areas in the East or South.
While Kyiv says the Russian assault into the northeast does not present an imminent threat to Ukraine’s second largest city of Kharkov, home to 1.3 million people, it is a fact that the supply lines for the city are now under fire Russian control.
Politico reported:
“’Volodymyr Zelensky has instructed that all international events scheduled for the coming days be postponed and new dates coordinated. We are grateful to partners for their understanding’, said Zelensky’s press secretary Sergii Nykyforov in a statement on social media.
[…] Ukraine’s commanders are ‘making all decisions based on comprehensive information. Additional forces are being deployed, reserves are available’, according to Nykyforov.
Spain and Portugal were on the list of countries Zelensky was set to visit, according to media reports.”

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blamed Trump and the Covid pandemic when a reporter asked why Joe Biden lied about inflation being 9% when he took office in January 2021.
Biden has falsely claimed that inflation was 9% when he took office. It was 1.4% in January 2021.
Biden’s lie was so egregious that the Washington Post gave him four Pinocchio’s.
Joe Biden has now twice in one week claimed that inflation was at 9% when he took office.
It's a particularly hilarious lie because inflation was 1.4% when he took office and hit a HIGH OF 9.1% in June 2022.

Fox News Business reporter Ed Lawrence asked Karine Jean-Pierre why Joe Biden keeps lying about inflation.
KJP absurdly claimed the inflation crisis is a result of the Covid pandemic and supply chain issues.
“I wanna ask you about how the President talks about inflation. So, two times over the past two weeks, the President said inflation was nine percent when he came into office. Is the President misleading Americans on that? Or does it — just not realize that inflation was 1.4 percent when he came into office?”
Karine Jean-Pierre stuttered through a word salad.
“So, you know — and — and thank you for the question, because I know that this — we got a lot of incoming on this yesterday and look, I — what the President was — the point that he was making — uh — is that the factors that caused inflation was in place when he walked in — into the administration — when he took office. Let’s — as you know, the pandemic caused inflation around the world to be — uh — uh — by disrupting our economy and breaking our supply chains — as you know, we had to act quickly on dealing with the supply chain. He put together a task force. You saw the President do that,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Ed Lawrence wasn’t having it and pushed back.
“But COVID started in March of 2020. So those factors were in place for about a year before the President took office,” he said.
Biden’s tax-and-spend policies led to the inflation crisis, but KJP blamed everyone and everything else.
“Look, I mean — look, the pandemic was happening, right? That caused inflation. That was happening. Supply chain was — was — was breaking our economy. That was happening and it wasn’t just us. It wasn’t just us. It was globally,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Earlier today the Joe Biden regime finally agreed to debate President Donald Trump. This was a great surprise to the American public after seeing Joe Biden’s lose his battle with dementia these past six years.
The first official presidential debate was held in 1960 between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. This year was looking to be the first time in 64 years that there would not be a presidential debate as the Biden regime balked at the idea knowing that Joe has the worst foreign policy record in history, the worst domestic policy record in 100 years, and is not mentally capable of a public debate due to his diminishing mental capacity.
So today’s news was a surprise. Of course, the Democrats listed several stipulations in order to proceed with a debate.
Axios reported:
President Biden is opting out of the traditional presidential debates structure, challenging former President Trump to a one-on-one contest as soon as next month.
Why it matters: The nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates traditionally hosts three presidential debates in September and October. Biden’s offer would cut the commission out of the process.
Between the lines: The Biden campaign views the current debates as “structured like an entertainment spectacle” that doesn’t enforce its own rules, per a letter to the commission released Wednesday.
- The campaign instead wants to work directly with broadcast networks that host both GOP and Democratic primary debates.
- The letter proposes just the two candidates and a moderator, with no audience.
- It also suggests microphones that cut off automatically at time limits and when it’s not a candidate’s turn to speak.
The CNN debate moderators were named after President Trump and Joe Biden agreed to a debate.
Trump-haters and fake news pushers Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were selected by Democrats and lackeys at CNN to host the debates.
It’s now confirmed that President Trump will be debating Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, and Joe Biden in the first debate.

(@catturd2) May 15, 2024
Of course, Democrats only agreed to the debates after the stacked the events with far left moderators and set the rules. And Democrats refused to offer Democrat-Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy on the stage.
There is only one reason for this – Kennedy would take votes from Joe Biden. That’s it. That is the only reason they would not allow him on the stage.
This is not the Democrat Party’s first assault on RFK Jr. The Democrats previously made the rules so impossible for a challenger that he was forced to run as an Independent candidate.
Even worse, the Biden regime REFUSES to grant Robert Kennedy, Jr. Secret Service security for his campaign knowing that his FATHER and UNCLE were both assassinated when he was a child.
Robert F. Kennedy is currently averaging 10.8% of the vote in the Real Clear Politics averages.
But on Wednesday night Robert F. Kennedy announced that he has met the requirements and that he will be joining Trump and Biden at the debate.
I’m happy to report that I will meet the criteria to participate in the @CNN debate before the June 20 deadline. I look forward to holding Presidents Biden and Trump accountable for their records in Atlanta on June 27 to give Americans the debate they deserve. #KennedyShanahan24

Parisians are bracing themselves for the hard job of hosting the Summer Olympics in some 70 days.
Read: 100 Days to Chaos: Citizens of Paris Dread the Upcoming Summer Olympic Games
Unchecked mass migration is boosting the existent problems with violence and poverty, with a fraying social fabric and chaos in the streets.
But hey, at least they can all sleep safely knowing that the Paris Olympics have installed anti-sex beds to curb the lovemaking antics of the world’s elite athletes!
‘I love Paris in the Summer/When it sizzles’ no more.
New York Post reported:
“’Anti-sex’ beds have arrived in Paris ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games, with their materials and small size allegedly aimed at deterring athletes from getting kinky during the competition.
The beds’ twin size means there’s no room for the competitors to sidle up together.”
The beds were produced by the same company who made the products for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.
Two or more athletes on top of it would fall prey to the recyclable cardboard frames, designed to collapse under such a weight.
Stories about wild sex among athletes have been frequent.
“Table tennis player Matthew Syed previously told the Times of London that he had a debaucherous time at the 1992 games in Barcelona, Spain, saying: ‘I got laid more often in those two and a half weeks than in the rest of my life’.
At the 2012 games in London, one anonymous athlete admitted to having a foursome with a male teammate and two women at the Olympic Village, according to the Mirror.”
It does not take a specialist to guess this will not deter young people who are willing and able.
“A US two-time gold medalist as saying: ‘I’ve seen people having sex right out in the open. On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty’.”

Martin Neumaier, a candidate from the Free Democratic Party (FDP), a liberal party in Germany, has been caught in a series of deeply disturbing and sexually explicit acts broadcasted online.
Multiple pornographic videos featuring Neumaier were taken down from social media X after they breached the site’s Terms of Service.
The Publica reported that Neumaier is seen in one video singing the forbidden first verse of the Nazi-era German national anthem while using an anal dildo.
This appalling behavior is only the tip of the iceberg concerning Neumaier’s online activities.
Another video shows him inserting a feces-covered dildo into himself before smearing it on a Quran
The Publica reported: “The politician and personal trainer is also seen expressing his wishes to “rape to death” one of the 12 wives of the Prophet Mohammed, which may warrant criminal charges for inciting hatred and religious defamation under Germany’s criminal code.”
“Other now-deleted videos of the disturbed politician show him with feces under his nose, roleplaying as the former chancellor of the German Reich, Adolf Hitler. “I have a Hitler beard made of shit,” exclaims Neumaier, revealing his home address to his viewers,” the news outlet added.
Adding to the litany of repugnant acts, another video shows Neumaier in a public restroom licking a urinal and toilet seat, followed by kissing a toilet brush as a form of “punishment.”

An officer discovered the baggie at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday and reported his findings to a supervisor.
The area where the bag was located usually experiences heavy traffic from contractors and USCP employees.
The USCP Investigations unit has launched an investigation and will soon commence a DNA test on the baggie.

Per USCP:
The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is investigating a roughly one-inch by one-inch zip lock bag with a small amount of a white powdery substance, which field tested positive for cocaine.
The small bag was found on the floor of a hallway inside USCP headquarters. The hallway is on the second floor in an area that has been a staging spot for furniture and supplies. The area is heavily trafficked by various contractors and employees. It is also near offices such as Prisoner Processing, Crime Scene, Intel and Reports Processing.
The baggie was found in the middle of the floor just before 1:00 p.m. by an officer, who immediately reported it to a supervisor. The residue was field tested and came back positive for cocaine.
The USCP Investigations Division has opened an investigation, which will include further testing, including DNA testing of the baggie. We will provide more information when it becomes available.

GOP Missouri Secretary of State candidate Valentina Gomez came under fire recently and reportedly sparked outrage over her awesome social media content after she recently posted a video telling Americans, “Don’t be weak and gay.”
Video at the bottom of this page. Read more about Gomez below:
Gomez, a daughter of legal immigrants, describes herself on her campaign webpage as “a real estate investor, financier, strategist, former NCAA Division I swimmer, relentless achiever, and a fierce advocate for the principles values we hold dear as Americans battling for a better future.”
At the top of her agenda is election integrity:
Protecting Democracy – Abolishing Voting Machines – Activating the National Guard to Secure Elections
Valentina will fortify our democracy by abolishing voting machines, require Voter ID, and deploy the national guard guaranteeing impartiality in the election process.
Under Valentina’s leadership Missouri will return to a secure, transparent paper-based system, addressing concerns of cyber threats, and manipulation.
Deploying the National Guard to oversee Missouri’s voting polls is a pragmatic step, ensuring impartiality, deterring interference, and bolstering public confidence in the electoral process.
In addition to being a great candidate, she also posts epic and hilarious social media content, advocating for conservative principles.
In February, Gomez posted a viral video on X, vowing to “BURN all books that are grooming, indoctrinating, and sexualizing our children” and declaring “MAGA. America First.”

On Monday, Gomez posted another clip of herself running through a gay district neighborhood in St. Louis and saying, “In America, you can do anything you want, so don’t be weak and gay. Stay f*cking hard,” which apparently triggered a lot of Democrats. It’s pretty funny if you have a sense of humor unlike the libs…
Per Newsweek,
Gomez’s post sparked fury on social media, with many responding by subverting the phrase to “be strong and gay.”
A social media user wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Yes, be strong and gay. And when weak people like Ms. Gomez try to make you feel weak, I’ll stand strong and straight with you instead of being weak and straight and pathetic like these bigoted losers who wish they were as hot as you.”
One called the message hateful, while another ridiculed Gomez for relaying her message while jogging in “hot pants and a bulletproof vest. Peak #Idiocracy achievement unlocked.”
Others responded sardonically, saying the phrase was accidentally humorous.
“You want to be gay? Fine be gay. Just don’t do it around children,” Gomez’s campaign director reportedly told NBC.

In a landmark decision, a Bexar County visiting judge has ordered a new election for the 180th District Court seat in Harris County, Texas. This ruling comes after Republican candidate Tami Pierce narrowly lost to Democrat DaSean Jones by a mere 449 votes in the November 2022 election.
DaSean Jones, who was sworn in as a Harris County criminal district court judge 15 months ago and has since presided over hundreds of cases, now faces uncertainty about his 2022 election victory.
Republican Tami Pierce continues to contest the election results in court, asserting that “improper or illegal votes were counted” and that the election was “riddled with errors.”
The legal scrutiny of the 180th District Court race has revealed troubling discrepancies. The court found that 1,430 illegal votes were cast, making it impossible to ascertain the true winner of the election. Furthermore, an additional 321 votes were incorrectly tallied due to an extended voting hour, a mishap attributed to an official error by the Harris County Elections Administration Office.
The court also awarded Pierce $65,265 for attorney fees and $752 for costs associated with defending against what was deemed a frivolous motion to dismiss her challenge, filed by Jones in early 2023.

The Texan reported:
Pierce was one of 21 Republicans who filed legal election contests, but her case was delayed after Jones’ attorney Oliver Brown filed an anti-Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) motion to dismiss.
While anti-SLAPP motions are typically used in free speech cases, Jones argued that the election contest infringed on his constitutional right to participate in government. In February 2023, visiting Judge David Peeples denied the motion, calling it “frivolous and solely intended to delay.”
Jones’ attorney “Downtown” Oliver Brown then filed an appeal with the Texas 1st Court of Appeals. A three-judge panel did not take up his appeal in November 2023 and earlier this year issued an opinion agreeing that the motion was frivolous. Administrative issues further delayed the trial until last month when Peeples heard testimony on April 1 and 2, 2024.
Of the 21 who originally filed election contests, four dropped their claims after discovery. Peeples granted summary judgment dismissing the claims of 15 others.
“Voluminous, detailed evidence compiled by witness Steve Carlin and dozens of other volunteers revealed many problems with the Harris County’s troubled November 2022 election,” said Pierce’s attorney, Paul Simpson.
“The court also ordered that opponent DaSean Jones owes Ms. Pierce over $65,000 in attorney’s fees due to his frivolous actions that have so long delayed this case. We hope judge Jones will not further delay justice by appealing but, instead, face Harris County voters in a new election when ordered by the court,” he added.
An appeal is likely to be filed by Jones’ attorney.

President Trump challenged Joe Biden to a third debate hosted by Fox News and moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
Biden snubbed the invite to a third debate.
“President Biden made his terms clear for two one-on-one debates, and Donald Trump accepted those terms,” Biden Campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement. “No more games. No more chaos, no more debate about debates.”

Joe Biden came close to suffering another embarrassing fall while attending the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service on Wednesday in Washington, DC.
This event honors all of the fallen officers who laid down their lives for America. Biden, of course, makes a regular habit of disrespecting those in uniform and falsely portraying himself as a Gold Star Dad.
As the elderly White House occupantslowly walks up to the stage to spread his usual lies, he catches his foot on a step and trips. Fortunately for Biden, he somehow regains his balance and manages to make it to the podium without further incident.
RNC Research, billed as Biden’s least favorite social media account, caught footage of the so-called “president’s” near fall.

Biden’s age and fitness are his top vulnerabilities with voters as he prepares for his rematch against President Donald Trump this November.
The embarrassing scene also comes just a few hours after Biden challenged Donald Trump to two separate debates, which the 45th President immediately accepted. CNN will host the first one on June 27 while ABC will welcome the two candidates on September 10.
Trump has accepted a third debate hosted by Fox News on October 2nd. Biden has yet to respond at the time of this writing.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, Biden has suffered balance issues since assuming power. Arguably the two most infamous incidents were when he collapsed several times going up the Air Force One stairs back in August 2021 and when he fell flat on his face in June 2023 while attending a graduation ceremony for the U.S. Air Force Academy in El Paso County, Colorado.
He cannot even manage to stay on his bike without having an accident!
At this point, it is fair to wonder whether Biden can make it to the debate stage without stumbling to the ground. Such an incident could end the election on the spot.

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) launched a vehement critique against Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), highlighting what she referred to as a glaring conflict of interest involving his interactions with Michael Cohen and financial ties to the daughter of the judge presiding over the Trump trial.
The subcommittee convened on Wednesday to delve into allegations of lawfare tactics being employed to manipulate legal systems against political adversaries, including the witch hunt against former President Trump.
During the hearing, Rep. Hageman did not mince words: “It seems like there might be a dog in this hunt on the other side. What you need to understand is that Mr. Goldman, the novice representative from New York, actually does have a personal stake in this case. He has been involved with the Bragg case, helping to prepare Mr. Cohen for his testimony. So, he is quite closely aligned with an admitted and convicted liar and perjurer.”
The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday that Rep. Goldman, a loyal supporter of Joe Biden, had several preparatory meetings with Cohen before his testimony in the sham Biden/Bragg trial.
In a striking admission on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Rep. Goldman disclosed his extensive prep work with Cohen: “I have deposed Michael Cohen. I have met with him a number of times to prepare him,” he said.
“[Michael Cohen] is an admitted perjurer. He is an admitted liar. He has testified inconsistently on the stand, so he’s either lying one time or the other, and he will be really skewered on cross-examination for,” Goldman added.
Cohen, a convicted perjurer, has been at the center of legal controversies involving Trump, including allegations of hush money payments during the 2016 campaign. Despite recognizing Cohen’s checkered credibility, Goldman has continued his association with him, leading to suspicions that he may be attempting to manipulate Cohen’s narrative against Trump.
Rep. Hageman further highlighted the financial ties between Goldman and the judge’s daughter’s firm, questioning the impartiality required in such sensitive proceedings. “He’s also paid the Judge Merchan’s daughter’s firm over $150,000 for her services. So I think we’ve got quite a conflict of interest from Mr. Dan Goldman,” Hageman said.
Laura Loomer pointed out that “Democrat NY Congressman who helped prepare Michael Cohen for his anti-Trump testimony is a client of Judge Merchan’s daughter’s Democrat political consulting company Authentic Campaigns.”
Spectrum News reported, “Loren Merchan is president of Authentic Campaigns, which has collected at least $70 million in payments from Democratic candidates and causes since she helped found the company in 2018, records show.”
Loomer added, “Rep. Dan Goldman is a client of Loren Merchan’s Democrat consulting firm, Authentic Campaigns. Why is a member of Congress meeting with a felon who committed perjury? This is a MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST, and Judge Merchan needs to immediately RECUSE HIMSELF from overseeing the Trump trial!”
However, Rep. Hageman didn’t stop there. The representative also blasted so-called Rep. Stacey Plaskett, a representative of the U.S. Virgin Islands in Congress, who worked for Epstein’s tax and political fixer.
“And just one other thing to keep in mind when considering the hostility from the folks on the other side of this aisle is that the ranking member of this particular committee was Jeffrey Epstein’s fixer,” Hageman added.

Lee Fang reported:
Democratic Del. Stacey Plaskett, a representative of the U.S. Virgin Islands in Congress, has distanced herself from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming she was completely “unaware” of his donations. However, recent court filings shed light on a much closer relationship between Plaskett and Epstein than previously known.
The unsealed documents outline a decade-long association involving direct solicitations for money, personal meetings, and employment at a law firm deeply connected to Epstein’s shadowy network.
Plaskett not only repeatedly sought financial contributions from Epstein and had multiple face-to-face encounters with him, but she also worked directly for a St. Thomas-based law firm that played a role in cultivating influence for Epstein’s clandestine activities.
In a deposition last month, Plaskett disclosed that she was introduced to Epstein by Erika Kellerhals, an attorney who lobbied on his behalf and represented his business and philanthropic ventures. Kellerhals’s significance goes beyond a casual connection. Before Plaskett’s congressional tenure, she worked at Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin PLLC, the boutique tax firm in the Virgin Islands from 2013 to 2014, a period in which Epstein was a major client.
Plaskett’s involvement with Epstein may extend further back, as she previously served as counsel on the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority (EDA), which granted Epstein $300 million in allegedly improperly obtained tax exemptions over the course of two decades.

Michelle Chandler, a Lakewood mother of five, courageously confronted and subdued a Peeping Tom who invaded her privacy at a Nordstrom fitting room in Lakewood last Saturday.
Chandler was trying on clothes in the store’s dressing room area, which is used by both men and women when she noticed something amiss—a hand and a cell phone stealthily positioned underneath the partition. The device appeared to be recording her as she changed.
“As I went to take these pants off, I bent down, looked over and I saw men’s shoes, socks and his phone pointing right at me,” Chandler told FOX31.
Chandler decided to take immediate action rather than waiting for mall security or police, who might arrive too late to catch the perpetrator. She managed to pin the suspect to the ground.
Chandler, alongside store associates who rushed to assist, held the young man down.
At one point, she uses her knee to keep him restrained while a belt is looped around him to prevent any further movement.
“You need to be held accountable,” Chandler said.
The Lakewood Police Department has confirmed their response to the incident. “Sadly this is legit,” said a police spokesperson.
The video of Chandler’s brave confrontation has gone viral.
In the video, Chandler can be heard saying, “This is why men don’t belong in women’s fitting rooms.”
One man responded, “I couldn’t agree more.”

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has suspended all federal funding and initiated debarment proceedings against EcoHealth Alliance, the controversial health organization led by Dr. Peter Daszak.
EcoHealth Alliance is also a research organization embroiled in the controversy surrounding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision stems from EcoHealth Alliance’s deep connections with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), a facility increasingly at the center of global investigations into the pandemic’s origins.
The suspension is based on an extensive review by the HHS, which cites a recent report from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. This report highlights EcoHealth Alliance’s failure to adequately monitor its research projects, particularly those involving the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
The review pointed out numerous instances where EcoHealth did not adhere to the stipulated biosafety requirements, significantly increasing the risk of unauthorized and potentially dangerous research practices.
One of the critical issues raised was the possible enhancement of virus pathogenicity or transmissibility through gain-of-function research—a practice that has been under a moratorium in the U.S.
The correspondence between EcoHealth and the NIH shows repeated instances where project specifics did not align with the safety protocols mandated by U.S. health authorities.
The recent HHS memorandum cites a pattern of non-compliance by EcoHealth Alliance with federal funding conditions, specifically highlighting the organization’s failure to monitor its research projects adequately.
Peter Daszak’s organization is accused of not only failing to adhere to the terms of their grant but also of not providing essential documentation regarding their research with the Wuhan Institute. This has led to serious doubts about the organization’s capability to handle projects that involve pathogens of pandemic potential.
“The information in the record constitutes adequate evidence to demonstrate that the suspension and proposed debarment of EHA is necessary due to a cause of so serious or compelling a nature that it affects EHA’s present responsibility,” wrote Suspension and Debarment Official H. Katrina Brisbon in an action referral memorandum.
“I find that the information in the record constitutes adequate evidence to demonstrate that the immediate suspension of EHA is necessary to protect the public interest,” it added.
Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), Chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, applauded HHS’s decision:
“EcoHealth Alliance and Dr. Peter Daszak should never again receive a single penny from the U.S. taxpayer. Only two weeks after the Select Subcommittee released an extensive report detailing EcoHealth’s wrongdoing and recommending the formal debarment of EcoHealth and its president, HHS has begun efforts to cut off all U.S. funding to this corrupt organization. EcoHealth facilitated gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China without proper oversight, willingly violated multiple requirements of its multimillion-dollar National Institutes of Health grant, and apparently made false statements to the NIH. These actions are wholly abhorrent, indefensible, and must be addressed with swift action. EcoHealth’s immediate funding suspension and future debarment is not only a victory for the U.S. taxpayer, but also for American national security and the safety of citizens worldwide.
“The Select Subcommittee’s investigation into EcoHealth and the origins of COVID-19 is far from over. Dr. Daszak and his team are still required to produce all outstanding documents and answer the Select Subcommittee’s questions, specifically related to Dr. Daszak’s potential dishonesty under oath. We will hold EcoHealth accountable for any waste, fraud, and abuse and are committed to uncovering any illegal activity, including lying to Congress, NIH, or the Inspector General.”

It can be recalled that Former EcoHealth VP Dr. Andrew Huff claimed that EcoHealth Alliance and Hunter Biden’s Metabiota were operating Biolabs funded by the CIA.
Dr. Andrew Huff is a former vice president of EcoHealth Alliance, an Army veteran, and the author of “The Truth about Wuhan: How I Uncovered the Biggest Lie in History” from Simon & Schuster. Dr. Huff reported to Dr. Peter Daszak at EcoHealth, the notorious doctor who sent funding dollars to the Wuhan research labs. (You can purchase Dr. Huff’s book here.)
In September, Dr. Andrew Huff sent a report on the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to the US Senate and Congress. Dr. Huff provided proof that the COVID virus that killed millions and resulted in mass starvation and global economic shutdown was created in a Wuhan laboratory.
In October, Dr. Huff told The Gateway Pundit that the US government was trying to cover up the origins of COVID-19 because Dr. Fauci and the US were funding the Wuhan lab’s gain-of-function research, which was illegal in the US at that time.
Dr. Andrew Huff explained to The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft the connections between EcoHealth Alliance, Dr. Daszak, Metabiota, and the CIA.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Hunter Biden’s Metabiota ties and the company’s laboratories in Ukraine and Africa.
Dr. Andrew Huff told The Gateway Pundit that EcoHealth and Metobiota were funded by the CIA’s venture capital firm In-Q-Tel.

By Wayne Allyn Root
President Trump and Team Trump, I hope you’re listening. Something is very wrong.
I smell a trap.
Democrats want Biden to debate? Are you kidding me? He’s clearly a brain-dead puppet with dementia and diapers. The man doesn’t know where he is most of the time…or what decade it is…or what he’s signing. He doesn’t know the names of the national media at his press conferences- he needs charts with their names on their seats.
But suddenly he wants to debate? In June? Trust me, it’s a trap.
There are a myriad of possibilities why Democrats want this….
First of all, President Trump, do not agree to a debate without drug testing Biden. He cannot stay lucid for 90 minutes without state-of-the-art drugs. Don’t debate him unless he agrees to a drug test immediately preceding the debate, with independent doctors.
Second, Biden will absolutely use an electronic listening device in his ear. Biden has no ability to answer questions on the fly. The man reads the words “period” and “end of sentence” on his teleprompter. How can he answer questions on the fly…or debate you? He can’t.
I guarantee you, Biden’s team will be giving him the answers in his ear. Don’t debate him, unless he agrees to no electronic listening devices, and agrees to be searched on the stage.
Third, Democrats cheat. They rig debates just like they rig elections. All the questions will be given to Biden days before the event- just like Democrats already did with Hillary before her debate with Bernie Sanders. Your team must come up with a way to ensure no one sees the questions in advance. Lie detector tests?
Fourth, why would you agree to debate on only biased liberal TV networks like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, or NBC? There are 2 debates. One can be on a liberal network, one can be on a conservative network.
Why would you ever agree to play two “away games?”
Fifth, you need fair moderators. Would the Biden campaign allow me as the moderator of the debates? Why not? I’m an Ivy League grad who has been in the media my entire adult life. I’ve hosted shows on major networks for 35 years. But they’d say “Wayne is biased. He’s an America-First, MAGA, conservative, Trump warrior.”
Yet every media member they pick will be a biased, liberal, Deep State, DC Swamp, Trump-hater with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
If they can have a Trump-hater as moderator, why can’t you demand one moderator at each debate of your choice? Each side gets a draft pick!
Pick me, Mr. President. I volunteer to moderate, representing Real America’s Voice TV.
Lastly, here is the real trap. Why June?
I know of no presidential debate in history ever held in June. Why so early? This is bizarre. Something is rancid. Hinkey. FUBAR.
I know Obama like no one on earth. Obama is running the show, and calling all the shots. He is the real President, for all intents and purposes.
If I’m Obama, I’m replacing Joe Biden at the convention in August. I’m betting Michelle Obama is the choice- which is why the Democrat convention is in Chicago in the first place. They planned this all along. Why Chicago? Why would anyone have a convention in a state you are already guaranteed to win? It makes no sense. You always pick a battleground state that is up for grabs. Hence, Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the GOP convention.
So why Chicago? Illinois is a 100% blue state. But if Joe Biden is stepping down at the convention “for the good of the nation”…and giving a tearful farewell speech…and then introduces Michelle Obama as his replacement…the 100% born and bred Chicago girl…and the city goes wild with delight that a native daughter…”another Obama from Chicago”…is the nominee…the publicity, promotion, excitement and branding is worth billions of dollars…and could propel “celebrity Michelle” to victory.
It’s certainly worth a shot. Because Democrats know with Biden as the nominee, they have no chance to beat Trump. What do they have to lose? Might as well take a shot with Michelle.
And that could also be THE reason for a June debate.
By August, Biden will be long gone. Trump will have wasted his breath attacking a man who is no longer his opponent. All Trump’s arguments against Biden on June 27th are useless by the second debate in September.
But Democrats have now seen a “sneak preview” of Trump’s arguments. They have the advantage. Now Michelle (who has never debated in her life), has seen his debate style, and knows all of Trump’s arguments.
Better yet, Michelle is nothing but a celebrity candidate with no record, and no policies to defend.
And Trump has already agreed to only one more debate in September. Michelle only has to risk a single debate. What a lucky break for her!
Meanwhile “celebrity Michelle” even if she loses the September debate, spends the rest of the campaign smiling, kissing babies and accepting wild applause from record-sized crowds of adoring feminists, children and radical communist agitators, who see her as their Marxist hero and the first female president.
She has none of Biden’s baggage. She has no record to defend, she never mentions any policy details. Her debate loss in September is long forgotten.
This debate in June is the tip-off. Something is very wrong.
But no matter what Mr. President, if you only listen to one piece of my advice…
Refuse to debate, unless Biden agrees to be drug tested.

Attorney Robert Costello testified before the House Weaponization of the Federal Government Subcommittee on Wednesday morning.
Costello, the former attorney for Michael Cohen, told Congressional members that that Michael Cohen told him that he didn’t even believe Stormy Daniels story, and only paid her off to save Trump and his family embarrassment. This is a huge development because it directly conflicts with what Michael Cohen testified earlier this week before the Alvin Bragg lawfare trial of President Donald Trump in New York City.
Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL): He didn’t believe the allegation of the Stormy Daniels story, that he thought the story would be embarrassing for Trump and especially for Melania, so he decided he would take care of it himself.
Attorney Robert Costello: Absolutely. That is contrary to what this guy testified to in court in New York yesterday.
Rep. Greg Steube: Well, what’s not being talked about is your next paragraph, the reason and his motivation for that. So if you could just walk through that for the committee.
Robert Costello: Yeah, obviously, when we started to talk about the NDAs, and this is the very first meeting at the Regency Hotel, when, by the way, Rudy Giuliani was not involved in representing Donald Trump at that time. Cohn testified that it was a conspiracy between Giuliani and Costello as of this date. Totally false. In any event, he also said that he didn’t discuss the Stormy Daniels matter with us, and he certainly did. I specifically asked him because he kept on going back saying, I can’t believe they’re trying to put me in jail for these NDAs.
So I said, Michael, tell me about the NDA. Tell me about Stormy Daniels. What did you do? He said, I got a call from a lawyer representing Stormy Daniels who represented that she was going to testify that Donald Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. Michael Cohen said, I didn’t believe the allegation, but I knew that such an allegation would be terribly embarrassing. He said, It would be embarrassing. He focused on Melania Trump. He said, I didn’t want to embarrass Melania Trump. He said, That’s I decided to take care of this on my own. I went back to that several times.
You did this on your own? “On my own.”
Did Donald Trump have anything to do with it? “No.”
Did you get the money from Donald Trump? “No.”
From any of his organizations? “No.”
From anybody connected to Donald Trump? “No”.
Where did you get the money? “I took out a HELOC loan against my property.”
I said, Why would you do that? He said, “I didn’t want anybody to know where I got this money.”
I didn’t want Melania to know. I didn’t want my own wife to know because she’s in charge, he said, of the Cohen family finances. He said, “If she saw money coming out of my account, she’d ask me 100 questions, and I didn’t want to answer any of them.”
It was clear after talking to him for several days after that, whenever we talked on the phone or in my office, that he kept on bringing up the subject that he felt he was betrayed.
Robert Costello also told the committee, “I read Michael Cohen’s testimony from yesterday’s trial in New York on the way down on the train, and virtually every statement he made about me is another lie.”
It appears the Michael Cohen may have just perjured himself again.

The Peruvian government has taken a firm stand on the issue of gender identity. A new decree, signed by President Dina Boluarte, has officially classified transsexualism, nonbinary, and intersex conditions as “mental illnesses.”
Supreme Decree No. 009-2024-SA specifies “transsexualism” and “gender identity disorder in children” as mental health conditions, The Telegraph reported.
It further includes “dual-role transvestism, fetishist transvestism, egodystonic sexual orientation, and other gender identity disorders” in the same category. This groundbreaking decision by the Peruvian health ministry is seen by many as a bold affirmation of biological truths and a commitment to providing appropriate mental health care.
In defense of this action, the ministry asserts that this classification will “guarantee full coverage of medical attention for mental health.”
By amending the Essential Health Insurance Plan (PEAS), they aim to align medical treatment with the newly established view that such gender identity conditions fall within the domain of mental health disorders.
This policy has been met with applause from conservative factions who commend the government for taking a stand against what they perceive as a global trend of blurring biological realities.
In the U.S., former State Representative Vernon Jone tweeted earlier this year, “CNN goes dark when cold blooded killers of straight men, women and children are from the LGBTQ community. They actually go to extreme lengths to cover it up.”

A barge collided with the Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston, Texas on Wednesday morning.
The collision resulted in a partial collapse and oil spill.
No injuries have been reported so far.
It is unclear what caused the collision.
Fox 26 Houston reported:
The Pelican Island Bridge is shut down to traffic after it was struck by a barge on Wednesday morning, officials say.
The bridge connects Pelican Island to Galveston, and Pelican Island is currently inaccessible by vehicle.
Galveston officials say there were no reports of injuries in the collision that occurred around 10 a.m.
SkyFOX video from the scene shows that debris from the bridge, including a section of the railroad tracks, fell onto the barge.
Galveston officials say the collision resulted in an oil spill in the bay. The U.S. Coast Guard is responding to determine the extent of the spill and initiate the containment and cleanup process.

Video recordings provided exclusively to The Gateway Pundit by an undercover journalist show Nevada Senate candidate Sam Brown’s staffers revealing a hidden agenda to appeal to the RINO Establishment if he is sent to Washington, D.C.
RINO Sam Brown and America First Nevada Senate candidate Dr. Jeff Gunter are currently vying for President Trump’s endorsement and a win in the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate in Nevada.
In an undercover interview, unafilliated Nevada political consultant Woodrow Johnston noted that Trump’s endorsement “is so powerful if he endorses someone they’ll win the primary.”
The Gateway Pundit published an interview with Jeff Gunter, a real Trump supporter and Trump’s former ambassador to Iceland, earlier this year. We also reported that Sam Brown is financially backed by Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-backed group that staunchly supported Nikki Haley since last November; long-time Mitch McConnell donor Gregory Ciongoli; Thomas McInerney, a John Bolton megadonor who also backed DeSantis for President; and several other never-Trump donors.
“He’s a hardcore RINO, a Mitch McConnell guy, loves Nikki Haley and is funded by the same people,” said Gunter.
In the interviews below, taken at the 2024 Nevada GOP Convention, Sam Brown Field Director Nikolas Madison confirms that Brown will "absolutely" stand "with the Establishment." When asked if he'd do that, Madison responded, "I 100% believe so." He also agreed that members of Congress need to vote against Trump and thinks Sam Brown "is capable of recognizing the situation."
The Gateway Pundit contacted Nikolas Madison, but he did not immediately provide comment.
Campaign Manager Faith Jones, who agrees that Nevada is "definitely a Trump state," said that Sam Brown is "just a mix" and does not fall in the pro-Trump camp after the undercover journalist said, "I hope he's definitely more of an Establishment [candidate]." During the interview, Jones suspiciously looked around, apparently to make sure she wasn't overheard, while noting that the Trumpers at the Nevada GOP Convention will "get you."
Jones could not be reached for comment.
In another cut, Nikolas Madison again says that Brown is not fully running on a pro-Trump platform, but "he's not like against everything that Trump says," implying that he is against Trump—just not all the way. Madison also said he does not know if Sam Brown voted for Trump in the presidential race.
Meanwhile, Sam Brown publicly claims that he looks forward to "working with President Trump to return hope, security, and opportunity to Nevadans."
President Trump has proven he can deliver on the results Nevada needs, and I believe he will deliver on them again.
I look forward to winning in November and working with President Trump to return hope, security, and opportunity to Nevadans.
— Sam Brown (@CaptainSamBrown) February 9, 2024
Finally, the video concludes with Woodrow Johnston, a political consultant, telling the undercover reporter, "[Trump's] endorsement is so powerful if he endorses someone they'll win the primary." Is this why Sam Brown is secretly pro-Establishment?
Johnston told The Gateway he is not affiliated with the Sam Brown campaign in any capacity and stands by his statement that Trump's endorsement is the most powerful in the state of Nevada.
Based on Sam Brown's Establishment backers and admissions by his team that he is not going to back Trump's agenda in DC, it is safe to say that he is an Establishment RINO.

According to a notice from the Federal Aviation Administration, former President Donald Trump’s Boeing 757 “clipped” an unoccupied private jet Sunday while taxiing after landing at West Palm Beach International Airport.
“AIRCRAFT TAXIING AND WINGLET STRUCK THE REAR ELEVATOR OF A PARKED VISTAJET,” the notice reads, as cited by WFLA (emphasis original).
The outlet noted that the FAA included the plane’s registration number, N757AF, which FAA records show belonging to DJT Operations I LLC.
The report indicated that any damage that might have occurred in the incident was as yet unknown, but that no one had been injured.
Also unknown was whether the former president himself was on his 757 at the time of the incident, but the FAA told the station that it was still investigating.
“A privately owned Boeing 757 landed safely at West Palm Beach International Airport around 1:20 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 12,” an FAA spokesperson told WFLA in a statement. “While taxiing, its winglet contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet.
“The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft,” the statement added.
The news came out Tuesday amid what the Trump campaign must have seen as more positive reports of the former president’s polling ahead of November’s presidential election.
CNN, for example, Trump is leading President Joe Biden in three battleground states by such wide margins that a CNN analyst called the numbers “an absolute disaster” for Biden’s campaign.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said the latest polls showed Trump beating the president in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada, and within the margin of error of polls conducted in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
“Frankly, for the Joe Biden campaign, these numbers are an absolute disaster,” Enten said Monday. “The smallest lead is in Arizona for Donald Trump. He’s up 6. Look at this, 9 in Georgia.”
The New York Times/Siena College polls of 4,097 registered voters were conducted in the six battleground states from April 28 to May 9. (The Philadelphia Inquirer contributed to the Pennsylvania poll, the Times noted.)
The Nevada survey had the presumptive GOP nominee over Biden by 13 points.
The CNN reporter noted that Trump’s smaller leads in Pennsylvania (3 points) and Wisconsin (1 point) were within the margin of error.
However, Biden’s 1-point lead in Michigan was also within striking range for Trump.
“My goodness gracious. … That is a huge lead,” Enten said. “No Democrat has lost that state since [former Sen.] John Kerry lost it back in 2004.”
Here’s my deal on the NYT polling out this AM. The Sun Belt battlegrounds are an abject disaster for Biden, & NYT is not the first to show that.
The Great Lakes battlegrounds are something Biden’s campaign can work with. It leaves him a (narrow) path to 270 at this point pic.twitter.com/gkM7pppR3K
— (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) May 13, 2024
When asked why the former president was outperforming the incumbent so dramatically, Enten said it’s because “the Trump coalition is changing” and getting more racially diverse.
He pointed out that the Republican candidate has gained ground with nonwhite voters even though he has lost some traction among white voters.
“The sense that Mr. Biden would do little to improve the nation’s fortunes has helped erode his standing among young, Black and Hispanic voters, who usually represent the foundation of any Democratic path to the presidency,” The New York Times wrote Monday of its survey.
The left-leaning Times argued that the poll results suggest that Americans perceive a nation in turmoil under the Biden administration.
“The findings reveal widespread dissatisfaction with the state of the country and serious doubts about Mr. Biden’s ability to deliver major improvements to American life,” the Times said. “Nearly 70 percent of voters say that the country’s political and economic systems need major changes — or even to be torn down entirely.”

Joe Biden’s DOJ/FBI is hunting down pro-life conservatives while ignoring Antifa and BLM militants and the radical Hamas supporters shutting down and terrorizing college campuses.
Under Biden, the DOJ weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 law that prohibits interfering with anyone obtaining or providing “reproductive health services,” as a punishment for the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
After the Supreme Court ruling, Biden formed the DOJ-led Reproductive Rights Task Force to enforce the act.
According to The Epoch Times, The FACE Act has now been used 130 times against pro-life individuals but only used three times against pro-abortion protesters.
On Tuesday, pro-life advocate John Hinshaw, 69, was sentenced to 21 months in prison for blocking access to late-term abortionist Cesare Santangelo’s Washington Surgi-Clinic.

Hinshaw spent his career in human services working with the homeless, addicted, disabled, and otherwise marginalized populations.
LifeSite News reports that in August 2023, a D.C. jury found Hinshaw, Lauren Handy, Will Goodman, Heather Idoni, and Rosemary “Herb” Geraghty guilty of violating the FACE Act and “conspiracy against rights.”
The following month, Joan Andrews Bell, Jonathan Darnel, and Jean Marshall were convicted of the same and Paulette Harlow was convicted in November.
Hinshaw shared before his sentencing that he accepts his imprisonment to expiate the ‘great guilt’ of the pro-abortion judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, presiding over his case.
Hinshaw declared, ‘I stand here for Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to accept the punishment rightly hers,’ and condemned the judge’s ‘great guilt of pride, indifference, and intolerance.’
During this unjust imprisonment we were gifted with another baby granddaughter, Charlotte Millie, a fiesty little girl who came early – 32 weeks gestation. I know this court only considers her a “would-be child” at that age. At 32 weeks gestation, she was at the same age as Phoenix, Harriet, Holly, Christopher X, and Angel, the Washington five slain by Santangelo. They are named today in honor of their eternal dignity. What makes my granddaughter a treasure and these five trash?? How is this allowed? HOW IS THIS ALLOWED???? It is allowed by courts covering up the crimes of Santangelo.
******
Today, I am told is an opportunity for me to say I’m sorry and so I am sorry. Sorry for having failed in the vocation bestowed upon me the day I became a father. The vocation of protecting children. I have failed this miserably, and so I apologize to this court as I believe my failure contributes to the failure of this court to fulfill its vocation to protect the innocent. And this failure of the court thus contributes to my failure.******
So all the years of court-protected slaughter have led us here, where I stand convicted, though guiltless. SENT, as I am, to take upon myself the guilt of this court. I stand here for Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to accept the punishment rightly hers. The Latin term for this is spem in alium. And as I open my arms to plead the mercy of this court on Kollar-Kotelly, I ask the One True Judge, whom she and I will be seeing very soon, to accept my act of love toward her as expiation of her great guilt of pride, indifference, and intolerance.

After six long months of negotiations, it seems that – at last – Dutch conservative leader Geert Wilders has sealed a deal to form the most right-wing government in the Netherlands in decades.
Reuters reported:
“Wilders, who has influenced Dutch immigration policy from the opposition benches since 2006 and is known for his outspoken views on Islam, was expected to announce a four-party coalition later in the day.”
The coalition talks have dragged on for months, to the delight of the liberal media that fears Wilders and his party.
Wilders’ major election victory on Nov. 22 means that immigration, finances, and fake climate alarmism are among the key policy points.
A breakthrough was reportedly reached back in March as Wilders toned down his rhetoric, agreed to withdraw his name for the position of prime minister, and dropped opposition to support for Ukraine.
“‘I can’t see this fail’, Wilders told reporters shortly after midnight, following 16 hours of talks during which parties said they had found agreement on government finances.
He told journalists as he walked into meetings on Wednesday morning: ‘If everything goes according to plan today, it will be a great outcome.’
The deal is seen bringing together outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s centre-right VVD, the new centrist NSC party and upstart farmers’ protest party BBB in a coalition with a strong majority of 88 seats in the 150-seat Lower House.”
Wilders rode a continental feeling of anti-immigration and anti-establishment sentiment and achieved his largest-ever electoral win.
The incoming conservative government will impose stricter asylum migration policies.
“Wilders, who has close ties with other European populists including Hungary’s Viktor Orban, has also made promises of lavish spending on healthcare and a lowering of the retirement age. But budget constraints make it unlikely the other parties will all support these plans.”
Wilders said he sealed a tentative agreement to form a right-wing coalition government after months of talks but hasn’t yet named a prime minister.
Bloomberg reported:
“‘We have a negotiating agreement. But the factions will also discuss it later, so there may be adjustments and amendments’, Wilders said Wednesday after concluding negotiations with three right—leaning parties — the liberal VVD of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the center-right NSC and the populist Farmer-Citizen Movement. ‘After that we may reach a final agreement’, he added.
Wilders’ far-right Freedom Party comfortably captured the most seats in the election almost six months ago, but the controversial politician had been unable until now to assemble an administration. In March, in order to break a deadlock in the talks, he was forced to renounce his own bid to become premier.”
The coalition parties discussed possible prime ministerial candidates, but that conversation will be resumed later.

‘Oh Allah, annihilate the brothers of apes and pigs’

A Florida dentist and Islamic imam who has called for the annihilation of “the tyrannical Jews” now could be facing punishment for his vicious anti-Semitism, which he included in a recorded sermon to fellow Muslims.
“Oh Allah, annihilate them, for they are no match for you. Oh Allah, annihilate the brothers of apes and pigs,” demanded Fadi Kablawi in a sermon first broadcast on Facebook, adding the current Israeli government is “worse than the Nazis.”
A report at Newsweek explained Kablawi demanded death for Jews, with, “Oh Allah, annihilate the tyrannical Jews.” The sermon then was translated by Shirion Collective, a pro-Israel account on X.

The report explained Kablawi is an imam at Masjid As Sunnah An Nabawiyyah.
Florida state Rep. Randy Fine, chairman of the Florida House Health and Human Services Committee, now has sent a letter to Jose R. Mellado, chairman of the Florida Board of Dentistry, calling for Kablawi’s dental license to be suspended. And calling for an investigation into Kablawi’s practice.
The letter from Fine includes, “North Miami, where dentist Kablawi practices, contains many Jewish residents, none of whom could be considered safe in Imam Kablawi’s dental chair, where he could personally implement what he is asking Allah to do. Practicing medicine in Florida is a privilege—not a right—and as the chairman of the Florida House Health and Human Services Committee, I call on you to immediately suspend Dr. Kablawi’s license and commence a thorough investigation into his practice. The lives of some of Florida’s Jews could hang in the balance.”
Fine noted he’s already heard from patients who were alarmed that “this guy” was their dentist.
The report noted Fine also shared an email from Mellado expressing concern about the antisemitism.
“I am deeply concerned with this inflammatory rhetoric and the potential danger it poses to Jewish and other ethnic groups. It is our utmost responsibility to protect and ensure the safety of the citizens in Florida. Please, review and act accordingly to protect the patients and the public in Florida.”
Kablawi did not respond to a Newsweek request for comment.
The report noted other statements, attributed to Kablawi’s rantings, and translated, include:
“Oh Allah, bring annihilation upon the accursed Zionists.”
“Oh Allah, show us the black days that you inflict upon the Jews.”

Former Rep. Mike Gallagher is cashing in his chips.
After abruptly announcing his resignation from Congress in March, it was announced on Tuesday that the former Wisconsin Congressman had joined venture capital firm TitletownTech as a “senior strategic advisor.”
The Greene Bay Press-Gazette notes:
The venture capital firm TitletownTech hired former U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher as a senior strategic adviser less than a month after his early departure from Congress. The firm on Monday cited Gallagher’s experience in national security and technology policy in announcing the move. TItletownTech focuses its investments in areas ranging from manufacturing, construction and supply chain issues to digital health, agriculture and entertainment.
…
The Green Bay Packers and Microsoft together launched the venture capital firm TitletownTech in 2019. The firm has raised $95 million to invest in early stage startups with high-growth potential. Gallagher will help TitletownTech and the startups it invests in better understand public policy and global markets.
In a statement on the announcement, TitletownTech Managing Partner Craig Dickman said that Gallagher’s “leadership in Congress and deep knowledge of technology and security will be crucial as we continue to back transformative companies in various sectors.”

Gallagher, meanwhile, said he would contribute to “transforming Wisconsin into a hub of technological innovation.”
“Wisconsin is on the front lines of geopolitical competition in the 21st century, and has a critical role to play in enhancing America’s economic competitiveness in general and technological leadership in particular,” Gallagher said.
“I look forward to working with the TitletownTech team to drive Wisconsin’s growth by making it the best destination for top-level tech-talent and thereby advance America’s national security interests.”
Gallagher’s decision to resign from Congress was particularly treasonous given that it left the Republicans with just a one-vote majority.
What Is worse is that Gallagher planned his departure one week after the deadline that would have triggered a special election for his district. Instead, he left Republicans with one less seat in their majority.
Some have speculated that his departure, along with that of fellow RINO Ken Buck, is part of a coordinated uniparty plan to undermine Trump's chances of winning in November.
The early retirements of Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher are part of a scheme by the uniparty cabal to stop Trump from winning the 2024 election.
How? They want to flip the House blue in time to nullify the electoral vote via the 14th Amendment.

It is unclear how much Gallagher will be paid for the role, although one can safely assume that it is a lot more than he was earning in Congress.

Marc Anthony Bru was seen on January 6th raising his phone to document the events as they unfolded that day at the US Capitol.
Bru was found guilty of attending a protest and “obstruction of an official proceeding” because he was in attendance at the protest.
The obstruction charge is a felony. The Biden DOJ also found him guilty of “civil disorder” for attending the protest and five misdemeanors.
Federal agents pulled guns on Marc and his mother when he was arrested.
DC Judge Boasberg found him guilty of all charges.
Marc Bru did not shut down an official Congressional proceeding by pulling a fire alarm like radical Democrat Jamaal Bowman. Marc’s crime was attending the J6 protests and walking inside the US Capitol.
Before Joe Biden, conservative Americans had the right to protest their government. Today, conservatives are jailed and their lives are ruined for attending a protest.
But it isn’t only J6 prisoners who are being abused and neglected by the prison system. Marc shared his concerns about what is happening within the prison system and alleged violations of human rights by careless staff and the cruel and unusual punishment and torture of incarcerated prisoners.
Marc wrote to The Gateway Pundit to share the stories of two such prisoners.
Reported by Marc Anthony Bru, January political prisoner:
I’m in the belly of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP)! It’s been several months, July 8th, if I recall correctly, since I’ve been held hostage by the belligerent Biden Regime. The highly contested 2021 Presidential Election brought Americans together for a collective redress of grievances, through primarily the STOP THE STEAL protest event. We saw what was being done to end President Trump’s position in the Executive branch.
Fast forward three and a half years, and several jail locations across the country later, and my eyes have been opened to the depravity of the judicial system, which we see naturally set the tone of the cultural development of “law enforcement “ all across the “nation.”
You can mostly ignore it in the outside world, yet from inside, you can’t unsee it, nor can you abase yourself to accept it. So I’ve set my intentions to expose the TRUTH of the corruption. My current focus is on the treatment and the intentional neglect by employees whose employers’ name has the words correctional facility associated with them. What are the methods of correction? Are they effective? Let us go straight to the source, the inmates themselves, their testimonies will shock your very soul.
Story # 1 Inmate (we call each other “cellies”)
He is from Las Vegas, Nevada. John Brandon Casutt has been suspiciously incarcerated, likely due to his rise in East Las Vegas politics and his getting too close to affecting some local politicians’ cash payments, adding up to billions annually. His challenges didn’t end with incarceration; they really began after being sentenced by yet another suspicious “court” proceeding. He was held in what we call the SHU, Secure Housing Unit. There, he was ignored when he’d asked multiple times for medical assistance, as a previous neck injury left in its wake chronic pain in his shoulders and neck. They refused to fill his already prescribed pain medication. Stating, “He was in transport, and they didn’t have a legal obligation to provide medical aid unless it was immediately life-threatening.”
I ask, how would these non-medical professional guards be able to make that determination? What they ignored turned into a life-threatening diagnosis when he was finally seen by professional medical outside of the Bureau of Prisons. How he finally got them to a place where he could receive medical attention sounds like fiction, EXCEPT it is totally a true story!
Cellie #1 was told by other inmates, “They (BOP) will never see you or answer your medical requests, and there’s certainly no way to leave the SHU, ever!” It took some time, but he realized he was on his own. Then he had an idea to help alleviate the neck pain. He devised an apparatus that went around his neck and was padded for comfort in the collar. He tied one strip of rope – he’d made from a bed sheet- across from his bunk frame to the shower nozzle, and another strip of the bed sheet hanging down, allowing him to suspend himself from his knees, to hang gently there stretching the neck, which would relieve the pain. He used this invention as he knelt down to place weight on the sling and stretched his neck for a few minutes in the sling and stretched his neck; a few minutes passed, and a guard doing his rounds in the SHU walked by his little door window. He came back to the window and seeing him hanging there, started to shout and opened the door to his cell. Running past him to release the line, the guard hit his shoulder, causing a drop and tightening the neck sling until he passed out from loss of oxygen to the brain.
Long story short, they thought he was dead and hung himself, so they tried to perform CPR on him before checking his vitals. Another guard came and determined he was still alive although he showed no signs of consciousness. They eventually got him out of prison, through the gate, and to an outside hospital, where he slowly regained his senses shortly before arrival.
As he came to, the medic in the back of the ambulance and escort guard from BOP told him he had died, and they revived him. The rest of the story is documented in the hospital’s medical records. He was the only one to successfully exit the SHU in response to his complaint, which he was forced to make happen. A clear, and very common standard of medical neglect, which would have never been addressed if it weren’t for Cellie #1’s attempt to relieve his pain himself. This is just one of many issues with BOP and prisons in general. A jail or prison of any official capacity is only tolerated when they assume these obligations: CARE, CUSTODY, CONTROL. Examine any BOP, or DOC (Department of Corrections), the grievance methods are illusory, and they do not fulfill the first of the 3 obligations.
Story #2 BOA Medical Incompetence
My next example, and witness, has been labeled by law enforcement as a really bad guy and member of a notorious local gang called “shameless.” He has a tragic story, but one of perseverance, despite hopeless odds against him, here’s his witness testimony:
“My name is Chadwick Lewis Spann, I am a Hostage # 52718-510 here in State Prison, Victorville, CA. San Bernardino County, where I am in complete and utter torment due to numerous ailments. The most serious and urgent issue is my left eyeball. Back in 2001, I had my face shoved into a light fixture, where the light bulb stabbed through my eye. It tore my cornea, detached my retina, and required a stint placement in my eye to keep the pupil in place. Adding to the need for repairs to my eyeball, the medical doctor had to give me an artificial lens replacement and stitches literally across my eyeball. It was a very serious trauma that left me half-blind in my left eye. Fast forward to 2024, and I’m in West Valley Detention Center, San Bernardino County Jail. We were getting ready to eat. I asked my cellie for a spoon, so he handed me a spoon, but from the side of my bad eye. I turned directly into the spoon, and the handle scraped directly into the center of the eyeball, sending me straight to the ER, outside of the jail.”
“I was taken to Arrowhead Regional Hospital in San Bernardino County. Upon said visit, my eye pressure was zero. Normally, it should be at 6-7. The pain in my eye was beyond bearable. Due to the impact, my pupil shifted to the upper left corner of my cornea, as well as this problem a bright white light (shaped like a worm) developed. The doctors told me they could not find a rupture, so they prescribed steroid eye drops to increase my eye pressure. I would have to continue taking these drops because otherwise, my eyeball would begin to shrivel up and die, like seriously die!?!”
“While I was there with actual medical staff that had integrity and held to their oath, as doctors, I was doing ok. My pain level was only existent if I over-extended myself. But now, I sit in unimaginable pain, my eye is stuck sideways (cockeyed). My confidence is uncertain, and my self-esteem is destroyed, all because this Federal Facility, Victorville, CA, refuses to give me my already prescribed eye drops. Their willful medical neglect is torture. Even though I have shown them the defect created, not to mention, I have migraines and pain that some days bring me to my knees in tears because of shock and being stuck in my bed, unable to open my eyes. I’ve developed depression and anxiety now, I’m disfigured, and my wife is making fun of me. My heart is broken, and my sight is worse than ever. My eye is almost completely dead, and I’m being told by administrators and guards that I’m not ‘entitled’ to receive medical attention because I’m not going to be here, held over long enough to matter.”
“My question is, since when do human beings have times or conditions when their lives do not matter in an institution that assumes the obligations and is liable for CARE, CUSTODY, & CONTROL? I have been here for over 2 months, and now I look like a freak; I’m miserably in pain and anguish. All because they won’t fill my prescription for my vital eye medication. I need to save my eye and my face from deformity. I was cleaning up my past street life of using drugs. I was on Suboxyn to help come down gradually. Now, because the BOP won’t fill my prescriptions, and the torturous pain in my eye and head, I have succumbed to self-medication to gain some limited relief; it is a form of torture. I am forced to cope with the consequences due to the total indifference at the highest level of government.”
CONCLUSION NOTE: My words cannot begin to express how prolific these issues are in the kind of “care” provided by the Bureau of Prisons administrators. They have rendered the grievance process illusory and abandoned any responsibility for the health and safety of the prisoner population with a rogue Federal Administration under the Biden Regime. But let’s not fool ourselves; this torture and neglect have been standard operations within the BOP from many years ago to the present. The assumed government is the real criminal revealed.
Note: IF these horror stories have any emotional effect on you today, consider praying, but also write to the BOP facilities and let them know they cannot operate hidden from the public anymore!

The disgraced former Vice President Mike Pence has sought public funding to help bail out his embarrassing presidential campaign.
According to a report from The New York Times, Pence sought public funds last December after realizing that his campaign could no longer meet its obligations.
The report states:
Former Vice President Mike Pence sought public financing for his failed presidential primary campaign, a highly unusual move that if successful would make him the first Republican in more than a decade to receive such funds, according to Federal Election Commission documents that have not previously been disclosed.
Starting in the post-Watergate era, the federal government has allowed presidential candidates to apply for and receive public dollars. But the program has become all but obsolete as it imposes strict spending limits on anyone who participates, at a time when the cost of nationwide campaigning has skyrocketed. Even applying for the money is generally seen as a sign of desperation because the limits of the program are so onerous.
The Times also found that Pence’s campaign has well over a million dollars in unpaid debts:
Mr. Pence’s campaign committee had more than $1.3 million in unpaid debts as of the end of March, federal records show. Qualifying for public funds now would presumably help him pay down those bills.
A spokesman for Mr. Pence did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It was not clear why Mr. Pence’s request for public funds last fall had not yet been acted upon. On Tuesday, the Federal Election Commission posted an eligibility report from its audit division of the request, as well as a memorandum from its general counsel’s office about the matter. A discussion is on the agenda for a commission meeting on Thursday.
Despite raising over $5 million from an array of establishment and anti-Trump donors, Pence’s campaign was a catastrophic failure that underlined his status as a pariah among the conservative grassroots.
After launching his campaign on an explicitly anti-Trump platform, Pence actively boasted about how he had fufilled his constitutional duty by certifying the 2020 presidential election results despite massive evidence of widespread voter fraud.
However, things did not go to plan and he pulled out the race just four months after announcing his campaign when it became clear he did not even qualify for the Republican primary debates.
Since then, Pence has refused to support Donald Trump’s return to the White House, providing a defacto endorsement for more years of Joe Biden.

Barrett Blade, the husband of former porn star Stormy Daniels, has declared that he and his wife may flee the United States if former President Donald Trump is acquitted in his hush-money trial in New York City.
The trial revolves around allegations that Trump was involved in a payoff to silence Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election, regarding an affair she claims to have had with him. Trump has vehemently denied these allegations, portraying the case as a political witch hunt aimed at tarnishing his image.
In an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Blade expressed concerns over the trial’s impact on his wife, stating that a not guilty verdict for Trump would leave them with no choice but to consider leaving the country.
“If Trump is found not guilty, I think there’s a… I mean, either way, I don’t think it gets better for her. I think if it’s not guilty, we’ve got to decide what to do. A good chance we’ll probably vacate this country,” said Blade.
“If he is found guilty, she’s still going to have to deal with all the hate that feels like she’s the reason that he’s guilty from all of his followers. I don’t see it as a win situation either way. I know that we would like to get on with our lives.
“I know that she wants to move past this. We just want to do what I guess you would say normal people get to do in some aspects. But I don’t know if that ever will be. It breaks my heart. It breaks my heart. Some of the things that she has to go through that people don’t realize,” he added.
During the cross-examination, Trump’s lawyer pointedly questioned Daniels about her past career in adult entertainment.
“Trump’s lawyer says, ‘You’ve acted in porn in 21 sex films, right?’ And Stormy replies, ‘Including compilations.’ The lawyer says, ‘And you’ve also written and directed 150 sex films. You said in your direct. Is that correct?’ And Stormy replies, ‘Give or take.’ And the lawyer says, ‘So this was your career for over 20 years, writing, acting, and directing sex films, right?’ Stormy says, ‘Yes,'” Burnett said.
“And then the lawyer says, ‘Barrett, so you have a lot of experience in making phony stories about sex appear to be real, right?’ And I’m emphasizing the words here because there was a lot of tone in it. And Stormy stops and says, ‘Wow.’ And then she laughs, and she goes, ‘That’s not how I would put it. The sex in the films, it’s very much real, just like what happened to me in that room,” Burnett continued.

Here we go again!
Just a few years after Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the al Qaeda terror network is moving back into the country.
Leaders of the group have reportedly been given ‘safe haven’ there. This is the beginning of the story that led to the 9/11 attacks, chapter and verse.
Plus, they now have the advantage of all of the American weapons and military equipment that Biden left behind in 2021. What could possibly go wrong?
Townhall reports:
How Is Afghanistan Doing Post-U.S. Withdrawal? Well…
It will come as little surprise to anyone who followed the Biden administration’s policy toward Afghanistan which culminated in the botched withdrawal of U.S. forces at the end of August 2021 that handing the country over to the Taliban has not resulted in some vibrant liberalized democracy. Instead, also unsurprisingly, Afghanistan has turned into a hotbed of terrorist activity…
Just a few short years later on Biden’s watch, and he’s again failed to deliver on a promise to hold the Taliban accountable, prevent a reemergence of terrorism, or act decisively to squash any threats emanating from Afghanistan.
The latest quarterly report to Congress from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) states that al Qaeda maintains “a safe haven in Afghanistan,” including for “around a dozen senior al Qaeda leaders.”
What’s more, there are now “up to eight new al Qaeda training camps, one stockpile weapons base, and five madrassas this quarter with help from al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent.”
Let the record show that this is all unfolding on Biden’s watch.
UN team identified up to 8 new al Qaeda training camps, one stockpile weapons base, 5 madrassas this quarter; UN also said al Qaeda continued to support other violent extremist organizations in #AFG, including TTP, with cross-border attacks & weaponshttps://t.co/GDFMJsAzuj

In 2021, Biden pledged that he would "reorganize" U.S. assets to prevent a "re-emergence of terrorists" in Afghanistan.

Harry Dunn, a former Capitol police officer who attempted to build a media and political career off his presence at the January 6th protests, has lost his Congressional primary in Maryland.
With over half the votes counted, Dunn was trailing Maryland state Sen. Sarah Elfreth by around 4000 votes, equivalent to around 10 points. The race has now been called.
The Hill reports:
Maryland state Sen. Sarah Elfreth (D) has won the Democratic primary for Maryland’s 3rd congressional district, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.
Elfreth, who was the youngest woman ever elected to the Maryland Senate when she won her seat in 2018, topped the crowded Tuesday primary race that also included former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, who was on duty during the Jan. 6 riots and garnered significant media attention in the lead-up to Tuesday.
Polling conducted last month for Dunn’s team showed him leading within the margin of error, up just slightly over Elfreth. Her House campaign has raised more than $1.4 million, according to FEC filings, though that trails Dunn’s $4.5 million.
Elfreth is now expected to cruise toward the general election in the district considered safe for Democrats this fall, though a handful of Republicans have put their name in the ring for the GOP primary.
Dunn rose to national prominence back in 2021 when he testified in front of the United States House Select Committee about how events played out.
At one point, he claimed we that Trump supporters chanted the n-word at him, although this has never been verified. His testimony ultimately led to the conviction of Stewart and Meggs Rhodes for 18 and 12 years respectively.
Despite styling himself as an American patriot, Dunn is in fact anything but. He was a fervent supporter of the violence wreaked by the Black Lives Matter movement and has expressed his view that Donald Trump should be arrested for his supposed role in the Capitol protests.
Since then, he has sought to cash in on his fame through media appearances and even writing a book about his experiences, entitled Standing My Ground. However, it appears that his pursuit of fame and adulation has run its course, at least for the time being.

Two months ago, Special Counsel Dave Weiss retaliated against Hunter Biden IRS whistleblowers Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joseph Ziegler by falsely suggesting they were under investigation by a government agency.
Weiss began retaliating against the whistleblowers in 2022, however, the special counsel filed a court document two months ago and falsely claimed Shapley and Ziegler were under investigation for potential misconduct.
Dave Weiss redacted information related to his claims against the whistleblowers under the guise of an “ongoing investigation.”
“Both SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler have filed whistleblower retaliation claims with OSC, and we understand OSC has requested related documents as part of an investigation into the retaliation claims. Specifically, SSA Shapley has alleged that now-Special Counsel David Weiss began retaliating against Shapley in November 2022 when Weiss learned Shapley had been making protected whistleblower disclosures about Weiss’s office to his IRS chain of command. Those disclosures included allegations Weiss’s office (the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware) engaged in prosecutorial misconduct in the Hunter Biden case by treating Mr. Biden more leniently than similarly situated taxpayers who were not politically connected.” Attorneys for the IRS whistleblowers wrote in a letter to the Acting Principal Deputy Special Counsel.
“Two months ago Special Counsel Weiss filed a document in one of the criminal prosecutions of Hunter Biden drafted and redacted carefully to lead the public to believe SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler were under investigation for potential misconduct. That March 11, 2024 filing opened by stating: “[T]wo IRS agents, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, . . . . have made unsubstantiated claims that prosecutors’ decision-making in this investigation was infected by politics.” The filing continued later: “[A]s described in the attached declaration, Exhibit 2 (filed under seal), the IRS has taken responsible steps to address Shapley’s and Ziegler’s conduct.” Over half of the next page was also redacted. The referenced Exhibit 2 stated the redactions were “to a potential ongoing investigation. . . and the government has filed three exhibits [under seal] that reference a potential ongoing investigation,” the letter stated.
IRS Whistleblowers: In new court filing, government “acknowledged unequivocally for the first time that SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler had not violated the taxpayer privacy laws, as Hunter Biden had falsely alleged.”

Last year two IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley, and Joseph Ziegler, testified on the government prosecutors’ preferential treatment of Hunter Biden.

Joseph Ziegler
“Hunter appeared to follow a pattern of attempting to avoid paying taxes on relevant income. This first started with Hunter not reporting the [Ukrainian gas company] Burisma income in 2014 and allegedly falsely claiming that it was a loan to him,” IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler said last year.
“He, again, tried to claim the millions in [Chinese] income earned from Hudson West III was a loan to him, which was refuted by the evidence and was not allowed by his tax accountants,” Ziegler said, according to The New York Post.
“This continued into 2020, 2021 and 2022, in which Hunter received approximately $4.9 million in payments for personal expenses, again in the form of a loan and gift from Democratic donor Kevin Patrick Morris,” Ziegler said.
Gary Shapley said Biden-appointed US Attorneys blocked charges against Hunter Biden.
Zieger said David Weiss, the US Attorney from Delaware, was hamstrung and marginalized by DOJ officials.
“It appeared to me, based on what I experienced, that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware in our investigation was constantly hamstrung, limited, and marginalized by DOJ officials,” Ziegler said.
“The Justice Department allowed the president’s political appointees to weigh in on whether to charge the president’s son,” Shapley said referring to the US Attorneys in DC and California.

The unveiling of King Charles III’s first official portrait since his coronation has taken an unexpected and unsettling turn.
The artwork, characterized by its vibrant red hues and detailed depiction of Charles in his Welsh Guards uniform, was intended as a tribute to the king’s longstanding service. However, an unexpected visual phenomenon involving the mirrored image of the portrait has captured the public’s imagination.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday that the portrait was painted by artist Jonathan Yeo, and it depicts Charles against a background of ‘vivid red hues’ – maybe too vivid – wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards military unit, Charles was made Regimental Colonel of this regiment in 1975.
A butterfly flutters just above his right shoulder to complete the disturbing effect.
“My aim was also to make reference to the traditions of Royal portraiture but in a way that reflects a 21st Century Monarchy and, above all else, to communicate the subject’s deep humanity,” Yeo said.
WATCH:
King Charles III unveiling his first official painted portrait since his coronation.

Commenters were not kind to the artwork, basically saying ‘it looks like he is in hell’. Even the NY Post called it the ‘ghostly-looking’ Charles portrait, but people went much harder.
Some asked if it was ‘all the blood on his hands?’, or said that they ‘100% thought this was satire’, called it ‘a little creepy’, ‘slightly disturbing’, ‘like he’s bathing in blood’.
“The portrait — which will ultimately hang in Drapers’ Hall — was commissioned in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales’s 50 years as a member of The Drapers’ Company in 2022.”
The discourse took an even more bizarre turn when social media users conducted a simple yet revealing experiment: mirroring the image. The mirrored image, laid next to the original, allegedly shows a face resembling Baphomet—a figure associated with occult and satanic practices.

What’s even more terrifying is that the doubled mirror image reveals a far more sinister result.
This unexpected twist has given rise to debates and “conspiracy theories” about secret messages and sinister symbols hidden in plain sight. Some have taken this as evidence of malevolent forces at work within the highest echelons of power.
Is this mirrored revelation merely a coincidence, a carefully orchestrated artistic conspiracy, or simply a trick of the eye? What do you think?

While conservatives argue over whether we should vote early or on election day, the Election Industrial Complex is adding, deleting and managing entities that are clandestinely operating behind US elections.
A document produced by Higher Ground Labs entitled the – 2022 Political Tech Landscape Report – outlines what we have labeled the Election Industrial Complex (see diagram above).
This document shows the many entities and interactions between these entities and groups involved in the Left’s Election Industrial Complex. Higher Ground Labs is led by a group of far-left zealots and politicians. It started in 2017 after Hillary lost the 2016 Election.
Higher Ground Labs created and published its 2022 report that describes its landscape and connections in the election industry complex. This document outlines the many initiatives, connections and activities it is involved in and the players it interacts with to ensure radical far-left and increasingly communist anti-American Democrats win elections.
This landscape involves “non-profits” and publicly traded companies which prevent the public from requesting information that would be required to be provided by the government in FOIA requests.
Based on our initial analysis of this Complex, the Left uses money to manipulate these groups where conservative entities for the most part run on trust. Money is used to incentivize. “Trust issues” in a grass roots environment are minimized through the use of money and funding.
See our first post on this topic below:
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The Left’s ELECTION INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX Discovered and Defined
A deeper dive into the Left’s Election Industrial Complex from a military expert’s point of view indicates that this system runs more like a 5th generation weapons system.
A military weapons system is an integrated system, usually computerized, for the control and operation of weapons of a particular kind. With this in mind, It appears that the Left has weaponized US elections.
5th Generation warfare is described by Dr. Robert Malone as follows (emphasis added):
5th-Gen warfare is an extension of Asymmetric and Insurgent Warfare strategies and tactics, whereby both conventional and unconventional military tactics and weapons are incorporated and deployed, including exploitation of political, religious and social causes. This new gradient of warfare uses the internet, social media and the 24-hour news cycle to change cognitive biases of individuals and/or organizations. It can be conducted by organized or unorganized (ergo decentralized) groups; it may be led by nation states, non-nation state actors and organizations, non-governmental organizations or even individuals. A key characteristic of 5th Gen warfare is that the nature of the attack is concealed. The goal is to disrupt and defeat opponents by creating new cognitive biases.
The most effective 5th-Gen warfare strategies employed by those lacking integrity are not purely based on pushing false narratives, mis- dis- or mal- information. The most effective strategies mix truth with action, and act to increase confusion and disorder.
This Left’s Election Industrial Complex communicates real-time election operations. It’s a psychological war that uses activists and volunteers as troops. It relies heavily on messaging and influencers are highly valued. The ultimate goal is to obtain committed hearts and minds.
This is why the “New Media” is so despised by the Left. The Truth reported by New Media is the enemy of the Left.
See this brief and brilliant explanation below.
Here is a document that outlines the comments shared in the video above.

With news of the recent departure of RINO RNC General Counsel, Charlie Spies, there is now a prime opening for the next General Counsel to lay down a truly bold, MAGA-aligned agenda to ensure the election procedures and laws are as fortified and secure as possible in the lead-up to the 2024 election.
Special attention must invariably be placed on critical battleground states like Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
By fortifying election procedures in those states, an undertaking that must prioritize maximizing voter turnout via registration campaigns and ballot harvesting efforts coupled with a legal strategy centered on bringing transparency and accountability back to electioneering, Republicans will find themselves having a much easier time litigating irregularities and fraud if and when those problems do reoccur, rather than having to play again from behind – much as they did four years ago.
One of the advantages of enduring these last four grueling, dismal, miserable years – a period of unprecedented constitutional breakdown in American history defined by witch-hunts, political persecutions, censorship, gaslighting, deplatforming, and general conspiracy and paranoia – is that more Americans than ever are awakened to the harsh realities of voter fraud and election corruption generally speaking; and the horrors that might befall the republic if those issues are ignored and left to fester and metastasize.
America now finds itself on the brink of totalitarianism; a despotism once characteristic of socialist and communist banana republics to our South has arrived on these shores with a vengeance.
This explains the importance of the 2024 presidential election in a nutshell: its outcome will determine whether the United States continues to sustain as a bastion of freedom the world over or succumb to tyranny once and for all. There is no third option.
President Trump arrived on the political scene in 2016, when nearly all hope was lost, and breathed life into our decadent and desiccated nation – made weak over decades by a bipartisan consensus in Washington that engorged on the excesses of its own self-indulgence — an indulgence that has carved out America’s middle class by offshoring industrial jobs to places like China, while empowering our foreign adversaries to the detriment of our national security – and overall sovereignty.
Despite having been unceremoniously ousted from office in 2020, and targeted maliciously thereafter by a multi-pronged rapacious gaslighting campaign, executed by that same bipartisan consensus that bled America to near ruin, hardly anyone believed Donald Trump would be able to stage a comeback from so great a defeat. And yet here we are.
Blessedly, miraculously, the 45th President finds himself in a formidable political position four years since that dismal departure. By the force of his own indomitable will, aided by God’s good grace, President Trump is polling arguably better than he ever has at any point in his nearly ten-year sojourn in politics.
The traits that made Donald Trump such a tremendous salesman in private life have transmuted with uncanny dexterity to his political career. His branding skills that made the Trump name a standalone product later in his career remain unparalled.
He has the entrepreneur’s penchant for problem-solving, and the marketeer’s knack for making complex policy issues digestible for mass consumption. This explains the phenomenon of the Trump rally, which has no equivalent in the history of presidential politics – or, really, the politics of any nation.
The rally is at one and the same time quintessentially American and consummately Donald Trump: these go hand-in-hand in explaining the President’s durability, having withstood – and continuing to withstand – the tidal wave of criticism and attacks by a bloated administrative state.
The administrative or deep state can mobilize at the ready a coterie of apparatchiks in the media, judicial system, big tech, and even non-governmental organizations and institutions, which collectively march to the beat of the drum of the Biden Regime’s orders.
President Trump’s prowess on the campaign trail remains unrivaled; his popularity, coupled with his white martyrdom at the hand of a weaponized justice system, to which he has frequently made comparisons to Nelson Mandela, has only emboldened the MAGA faithful this cycle, more so than in 2020 or 2016.
The President’s supporters viscerally feel that the country is on the line, and that the 45th President is truly the only thing preventing the feds waging an all-out assault on their fundamental rights and liberties.
Indeed, in many cases, they already have: between the prosecutions of the J6 “political hostages,” to the crackdown on traditional Catholic masses and parents who protest the curricula of woke school boards, the Biden Regime has waged warfare directly on the American people, in a manner that is starkly reminiscent (for those Americans who lived through it) of the kinds of witch hunts routinely carried out in the former Soviet Union, or communist Cuba.
Which brings me back to the RNC. While President Trump right now must focus his attention on the indictments, trials, campaigning, and rallies, the RNC and its new General Counsel should strategize a counter-offensive, playing both offense and defense, to capitalize — and complement — as much as possible on President Trump’s success on the campaign trail, and the unintended political windfall he has thus far received from his many show trials.
Fundraising is one part of the equation, and under the new leadership it would appear based on recent reports that the newly overhauled RNC is doing quite well raking in the dough. But there is much more to winning than simply fundraising.
Being able to raise money is one side of the equation; deploying that money economically and efficiently, in a way that maximizes utility – factoring time constraints and personnel talent – is a completely different animal.
On that note, an effective RNC strategy would make the following agenda items a priority:
1. Engage the New York Gag Order: The need to run a counteroffensive for President Trump, while he is unable to speak and criticize the trial (which is teeming with disqualifying conflicts of interest), is of utmost importance.
The gag order can be criticized in myriad ways. Surrogates, including politicians who visit the courthouse – like, just this past week, Vivek Ramawamy, Sen. J.D. Vance, Gov. Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds, and Rep. Mike Johnson – should take to the airwaves, be it cable television, radio, print, and podcasting, to explain why Judge Merchan is egregiously wrong for having undermined the President’s due process and First Amendment rights.
Because of what is at stake here, the Constitution literally hangs in the balance, this narrative that Merchan is undermining the Constitution must be drilled home persistently, relentlessly. Politicians should encourage their peers, no matter their political office, to show up at the courthouse and sit there in solidarity with President Trump. They should likewise encourage their constituents to peacefully protest outside the courthouse, and continue to do so as long as the show trial remains in effect. They should demand Merchan recuse himself every single day until he does, or until he feels enough public pressure to step down from his post.
2. Engage in Counter Lawfare: The Right must learn from the Left and engage in counter lawfare. Speaker Johnson should subpoena Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Judge Merchan. While they currently operate behind closed doors (since cameras are not allowed in New York State criminal proceedings), they should be required to account for their actions, before the cameras, in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
Pledge to set up investigations into every rogue judge, prosecutor, district attorney, and attorney general once the Republicans reclaim power. House Republicans, especially within the New York GOP delegation, should inundate the New York State Court system with ethics complaints and lawsuits to signal their disapproval of what is going on. Congress should consider subpoenaing the New York State Bar, and if necessary, file charges against them for allowing Alvin Bragg and Letitia James to run roughshod over the New York judicial system.
The RNC can actively aid and abet Congress’ efforts, by mobilizing media campaigns and making lawfare strategy recommendations, of the kind outlined above. Alternatively, the RNC could draft and issue “letters of complaint,” a more informal method of attack, but in keeping with the general sentiment to always be on the offensive.
3. Investigate the Watchdog and Pressure Groups. The RNC must not only keep track of the groups that target media companies like Fox News and Newsmax with defamation lawsuits that prevent commentators to this day from discussing the outcome determinative fraud affecting the 2020 presidential election in any great detail.
Recently, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani was put on leave from WABC radio for discussing the fraud and irregularities of the 2020 election – under no circumstances should anyone be professionally penalized for raising legitimate questions and conducting legitimate inquiries and investigations into our election procedures. If that topic is taken off the table, it is impossible to ensure free and fair elections, which is the lynchpin of our democracy. If there was no fraud, then let those who believe there was fraud to be discredited in the court of public opinion.
That is, after all, the whole point of the First Amendment. But to continue to shut those down who raise such allegations raises a strong suspicion that there in fact was fraud, and plausibly to a scale that was outcome determinative. Indeed, what else accounts for the fact that Joe Biden, who purportedly received more votes than any man in American history for President, also happens to have the lowest poll numbers in history?
Make that make sense. What is more, we now know, even more so than in the weeks and months immediately following the 2020 election, that there was evidence of systemic fraud – a ton of it, more of which continues to come out by the day and constantly redefines the narrative of just how corrupt the 2020 presidential race actually was.
One recent development, to drive the point home, is that Georgia’s State Election Board is now reviewing an allegation that Fulton County double counted thousands of ballots. Considering that Georgia was officially decided by an asserted 11,000 votes – the over 3,000 that were double-counted in Fulton County (which is surely indicative of fraud in other counties if proper investigations were allowed to be made), eats a significant portion of that vote total.
This is of course just one of many cases of widespread fraud that occurred in not only Georgia, but other key battleground states like Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Thus, the RNC must create a strategy with a focus on maximizing transparency into electioneering processes.
This calls for monitoring vote tabulation and ballot processing all throughout election season – with resources allocated based on the importance of the state or voting area. So, for instance, Fulton County, Philadelphia County, and Maricopa County should be prioritized over counties in conventionally non-competitive states.
4. Counter-Lawfare Strategy: Lawyers must be deployed on the ground, at the scene, on election day and on the days leading up to election day, to monitor electioneering processes to ensure best practices. Moreover, from a macro level, a counter-lawfare strategy must be devised to allow discussion of allegations of fraud without fear of reprisal.
One’s First Amendment right to speak freely and criticize and expose fraudulent election practices is inalienable and must be rigorously guarded in the courts of law. Where courts fail to uphold this sacred duty, appeals must be made.
Lawyers should also work to curb egregious attacks by the Left on the First Amendment – such as the absurdly high legal penalty Mayor Giuliani (as just one example) faces for criticizing the Dominion Voting Systems. Under no circumstances should one’s free speech rights be stripped away so callously and ruthlessly as Giuliani (and many others) experienced – which resulted in numerous professional and personal costs, including his recent termination by WABC radio.
Media organizations like WABC and Fox News should not feel pressure by activist left wing pressure groups – who get away with suing their political adversaries to oblivion. That should not be tolerated in a society that purports to uphold the rule of law (to say nothing of that little document called the Constitution).
An RNC-led conservative counter-lawfare strategy must lay down rigorous procedures to clearly telegraph that Left wing subversion into election procedures will no longer be tolerated – and if the Left attempts any funny business, they will be retaliated tenfold by the Right, with an blitzkrieg of lawsuits that will render leftist pressure groups bankrupt, and force them to heel.
That must be the general strategy and mentality of the next RNC and General Counsel, in particular. And it is imperative that they embark upon a media campaign to let their political opponents know that they mean business and will not be playing around.
5. Prevent Illegal Aliens From Voting: Given that Joe Biden’s border policy (or lack thereof) will unleash an estimated 7-10 million migrants (or more) into the American homeland once his term expires, it is imperative that the RNC leads a strong initiative to prevent illegal aliens from voting.
What should be a top priority for the RNC’s next General Counsel is to propose legislation that would make a felony of any non-citizen who votes in any election, and any institution – such as NGOs like Catholic Charities – that receive federal grants which might aid and abet illegal voting. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives should pass this legislation before Election Day, and the Senate should try to.
If the Senate fails to pass it, the Democrats – and Biden – will have to own the policy of effectively licensing illegals to vote, which a supermajority of American voters vehemently oppose. The next RNC General Counsel should also recommend that the House strip all funding – in terms of grants, mandates, and other federal monies – to NGOs that have facilitated Biden’s migrant catastrophe.
The RNC should also ask states to pass laws in special sessions that would make non-citizens voting a felony and encourage Republican Attorneys General to lead on this.
Politically, such policies could be a huge windfall for down ballot Republicans this cycle, given that, again, most Americans – of all political affiliations – absolutely abhor the idea of illegals and non-citizens voting in any election: local, state, or federal.
Let me repeat a third time: the overwhelming majority of Americans don’t want illegals voting in their elections (as it stands, dead people are bad enough!). Make the Democrats own this issue by passing legislation in the House as well as Republican-controlled state legislatures. Not only would this initiative set a nice foundation for securing our elections, but it would be hugely politically advantageous.
The definition of lawfare is “waging war by use of law.” Does anyone on the Right recognize that we are not in a debate or a conversation about the future? Politics is war by other means. We are at war! Time for the next RNC General Counsel to adopt a war footing – before it is too late.
As the Don said of Spies, “you are not a wartime consigliere.” We are in war; the next General Counsel must have what it takes to win, win, win!

NFL star Aaron Rodgers sat with Tucker Carlson for an extended two-hour interview that was released on Tuesday.
The New York Giants quarterback dished about vaccines, pharmaceutical companies, government corruption and Joe Biden as President.
The discussion got really interesting when Aaron Rodgers started talking about Joe Biden sh*tting his pants.
The entire interview is well worth your time – but this segment was particularly entertaining!
Aaron Rodgers: You did one of the most controversial, somehow, not to me, most controversial interviews in the last, I don’t know how long, when you went to Russia and did Putin. How did it feel coming back? Because anybody who watched the interview was like, number one, it was f*cking awesome. Number two, Putin came off as an interesting, thoughtful, smart individual.
And if you’ve read 1984, the game plan of government control is you have to have an enemy, and you have to slander that enemy regardless if you know anything about them. And I think a lot of people are like, “Oh, Putin apologists are like, whitewashing all the stuff that he’s done to the different people.” And I was just like, “No, I’d love to see Joe Biden give an interview where he can speak on the history of the United States in the same way that Putin talked about the history of his country.”
Tucker Carlson: I’d love to see Biden do an interview where he shows how to operate a microwave, and I don’t think that’s going to happen. And by the way, Biden won’t do interviews, and neither will Zelensky so far…
…I thought he was an interesting guy, smart guy, impressive guy, in some ways, obviously a lot more impressive than Joe Biden, But he’s Russian, and he runs Russia, and I’m American, and I live in America, so I care about my country. I want my leaders to be better. I’m not on Putin’s side. I don’t have any emotional attachment to any foreign country because I’m not a foreigner. I’m an American, and this is the only country I care about. But for the record, yeah, I thought people can watch it and assess for themselves.
Aaron Rodgers: And they should. It’s a fascinating interview.
Tucker Carlson: But the idea that you shouldn’t be allowed to do that is so crazy to me. I’m just not going to submit to that.
Aaron Rodgers: Like being canceled by the people who have just bowed down and given interviews from their knees to the Zelenskyy’s of the world.
Tucker Carlson: Gargling as they interview, yes. It’s wild.
Aaron Rodgers: As this guy comes over in f*cking in an outfit you’d wear to the store on a Sunday morning to ask the Congress for another $100 billion is f*cking wild.
Tucker Carlson: He looks like he’s going to be in the Village People music video. It’s like it’s saying the whole thing. It’s – That’s what I’m saying. You do wonder that and a million other things going on right now. You wonder if they’re seeing how far they can push the population until someone starts laughing. Like, are you joking?
Aaron Rodgers: It feels like that sometimes. What if we did this? Is anybody going to give a shit? No? Okay, now let’s try this one here. We’re going to put Joe Biden up and do this. Wait, what? This guy who can’t even walk over here? And sh*ts his pants every now and then?
Enjoy.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Tuesday that his confidence has weakened that inflation is under control.
His comments made at a bankers’ conference in Amsterdam came the same day that the Labor Department reported that wholesale prices jumped 0.5 percent in April, the largest increase since April 2023.
Wholesale prices are tracked by the Producer Price Index, which measures the selling prices producers of goods and services receive.
CNBC: Wholesale inflation rose MUCH more than expected in April.
That’s Bidenomics! pic.twitter.com/NbVUyS3zVP
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) May 14, 2024
Powell first told the bankers that the U.S. economy is performing well, seeing strong growth of just over 3 percent last year, as unemployment remains below 4 percent and inflation has come down from its peaks in 2022 and early 2023.
“Core inflation got as high as 5.6 percent and is now at 2.8 percent, so it’s down by half. That progress though really happened over the course of last year, particularly the second half of last year,” the fed chief said.
Core inflation measures the change in prices of goods and services, but does not include food and energy costs, which have gone up considerably during President Joe Biden’s time in office.
Food prices are up over 21 percent since January 2021. Meanwhile the price of gasoline averaged $2.40 per gallon that month, and is currently $3.61, or a 50.42 percent increase.
“The first quarter in the United States was notable for its lack of further progress on inflation. We had higher readings in the first quarter, and higher than we expected,” Powell conceded.
“We did not expect this to be a smooth road. But these [inflation readings] were higher than I think anybody expected,” he continued. “What that has told us is that we’ll need to be patient and let restrictive policy do its work.”
CNBC reported that the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates 11 times in recent years in its efforts to combat inflation.
The purpose of raising interest rates is to make borrowing more expensive, which is designed to slow consumer spending and business investment, lowering demand and thereby bringing prices down, according to Chase Bank.
“I expect that inflation will move back down on a monthly level, on a monthly basis to levels that were more like the lower readings we were having last year,” Powell predicted.
But he added the caveat, “I would say my confidence [in that forecast] is not as high as it was, having seen these readings in the first three months of the year.”
“We’re just going to have to see where the inflation data fall out,” Powell said.
What the fed chairman did not get into is how Biden’s and the Democrats’ big government, high spending policies are a primary driver of inflation.
Former Trump and Reagan administration economist Larry Kudlow explained in May 2022 as price spikes were hitting their highest, “Look, you had prominent Democrat economists and Republican economists a year ago predict rising inflation because of huge social spending, aggregate demand increasing, deficit financing, too much borrowing and too much money printing.”
“And then you had the war against fossil fuels at exactly the wrong time,” he added, referring to Biden’s policy of greatly restricting oil production on federal lands and offshore.
In a February 2021 opinion piece for The Washington Post, former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers wrote that passing the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan as the economy was already well on its way to recovery would “set off inflationary pressures of a kind we have not seen in a generation, with consequences for the value of the dollar and financial stability.”
After it passed the following month, Summers called it “the least responsible macroeconomic policy we’ve had in the last 40 years.”
Further, former Obama administration Treasury Department official Steven Rattner in a November 2021 article for The New York Times identified the American Rescue Plan as the “original sin” leading to the current high inflation rate.
He pointed to Summers’ warning, as well as “many others.”
“We worried that shoveling an unprecedented amount of spending into an economy already on the road to recovery would mean too much money chasing too few goods,” Rattner wrote.
The Democrats have since passed the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, with costs on green initiatives alone expected to exceed $1 trillion, and the $1 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, pouring more Federal Reserve printed money into the economy.
Kudlow said the answer for the nation’s current fix is to implement the policy President Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s — known as supply-side economics.
In other words don’t just try to decrease demand through Fed interest rate hikes and less spending, work on increasing the supply of goods and services through pro-growth tax and regulatory polices.
“The tax hikes and the environmental restrictions [under Biden] are suppressing the supply side of the economy — not enough goods. And the spending increases the demand side of the economy — too much cash,” Kudlow said.
“If you are going to spend more than you can produce, well, prices have to go up. And the obvious solution is to spend less and produce more.”
The proof is in the pudding. Inflation dropped from 13.5 percent in 1980 before Reagan took office to 4.1 percent in 1988.
Powell of course does not have the power to make these policy changes, but the American people do by re-electing former President Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress, who implemented Reagan-style economic policies in Trump’s first term and promise to do so again in his second.

As the Gateway Pundit reported over the weekend, some student protesters at Duke University walked out on Jerry Seinfeld’s commencement speech.
Boy did they miss out.
Seinfeld’s speech was amazing. It was barely political, except when he called out progressive ideas like privilege.
He focused mostly on how to be successful and happy in life, stressing the need for having a good sense of humor.
Here’s a partial transcript:
Thank you. Oh my God, what a beautiful day. What a beautiful class. We love you guys.
I am here today at the gracious invitation of President Price and the Duke Board of Trustees. Because after spending four years at what is considered one of the finest institutions of higher education in the world, they apparently feel that perhaps some light entertainment will get you all to the final realization. You know, I think I’ve really had enough of this place. Let’s bring in a comedian.
Let’s bring the sophistication and erudition of the Duke experience down a couple notches. And I thought, maybe that does make sense. Maybe the thinking was, what we really want is to just get these kids the hell out of here. What would give them that last final push?
Because what you might not be fully aware of is that the entire time you have been at this wonderful university, we have been meeting and talking to other kids that we would like to replace you with. Not because we weren’t happy with you. Not at all. You have been great. It’s just, you know, we want you to see what’s out there. I don’t want to say exactly how many kids we talked to. It’s roughly this many. And we met a lot of wonderful kids a lot.
Was there a time when we were thrilled to have you come here to learn, grow and flourish? Of course, there was… that time has passed. We do offer graduate programs in a number of different disciplines. If you and your parents want to stall your ultimate uselessness for a few more years.
Watch the whole thing below, this is a great speech:

In the 2024 election, it is beginning to look like states that were unthinkable for Trump four years ago could actually flip red.
Trump pollster John McLaughlin recently spoke to Breitbart News and talked about the possibility of Minnesota and Virginia going for Trump in November. This comes on top of the news that Trump is making a serious play for New Jersey and New York.
If Trump picks up some blue states in this election, it will be much more difficult for Democrats to deny the will of the people. Of course, they’ll still try.
From Breitbart News:
Exclusive — Trump Pollster: ‘Virginia and Minnesota Are in Play’
Virginia and Minnesota are in play, Trump pollster John McLaughlin, CEO and partner of McLaughlin & Associates, said during a Tuesday appearance on Breitbart News Daily.
McLaughlin said that Trump seems to be ahead in the national popular vote, explaining some of the data.
“There’s eligible voters — probably 100 million — who don’t vote. They had a record turnout last time, 160 million. That was up from 139 million in 2016,” he said, explaining that Trump is also ahead in battleground states. The Trump campaign, he continued, released top line numbers for polls taken in Minnesota and Virginia, showing something extraordinary.
“Minnesota, we had Trump at 40 percent, Biden at 40 percent, Kennedy at nine, and Virginia was Biden 40, Trump 37, Kennedy eight, so Virginia and Minnesota are in play,” he said, also citing an Emerson College Poll analyzing New Jersey. That survey showed Trump within five points. That poll, he added, was taken before Trump’s massive rally in the Garden State, which attracted roughly 100,000 people.
Listen below:
If Trump wins Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania in November, Democrats will be heartbroken. If Trump wins New Jersey, Minnesota, or Virginia, Democrats will completely lose their minds. It would be a thing of beauty.

Rosie O’Donnell and some of her liberal Hollywood galpals are appealing to Doctor Jill Biden to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Do they not realize that a ceasefire was in place on October 7th? Would they be calling for a ceasefire if Hamas was winning in this conflict?
Also, why are they appealing to Jill Biden? What power does she have in foreign policy, or anything for that matter?

The idiotic elites want a permanent ceasefire immediately. Are they aware that there was a ceasefire in place on October 7, 2023? It doesn’t matter. They are antisemites who aren’t interested in truth or reality. They chose to let their anti-Israel freak flags fly.
What better day than Mother’s Day to deliver their message?
The video featured The Gilded Age co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski, Scottish singer-songwriter Annie Lennox, comedian and Babes actress Ilana Glazer, American playwright V (formerly Eve Ensler), comedian and TV producer Rosie O’Donnell and several other women from the famed entertainment industry. The Sex and the City star posted the star-studded appeal to the First Lady of the United States on X/Twitter on Mother’s Day. Also, tagging the Avengers star Mark Ruffalo, who’s been avidly speaking for the Gaza cause, the aforementioned celebrities shared the video message on Instagram.

Disgraced former attorney Michael Avenatti, who has been imprisoned since February 2022 and was sentenced to an additional 14 years for stealing millions from clients—bringing his total sentence to 19 years without the possibility of parole—has tweeted from prison attacking another conman, Michael Cohen.
From his cell, Avenatti unleashed a barrage of accusations on Saturday. He challenged the public to question the fairness of being judged solely on the accusations of others, without an opportunity to defend oneself.
Avenatti wrote, “The next time you are accused of something by someone – a co-worker, neighbor, friend, significant other, stranger – ask yourself if it would be ok if only they were allowed to speak/accuse/antagonize while you were not allowed to respond to defend yourself. If your answer is no, then you too should be angered by Trump not being allowed to respond to Cohen’s & Daniels’ nonsense.”

But Avenatti didn’t stop there. Following Cohen’s testimony on Tuesday, he took to Twitter again to reaffirm his long-held view of Cohen as untrustworthy.
“Unlike many, I have been consistent for 6 years: Michael Cohen is a liar and a total fraud/narcissist who cares only about himself.”
“And let us not forget about Women for Cohen and the 700+ ridiculous posts he fabricated in an effort to paint himself as a brilliant attorney, sex symbol, etc. I guess he claims that was Trump’s fault too? Lololololol”

Last week’s tweets also saw Avenatti accusing Keith Davidson, another key witness in Trump’s trial, of lying and implicated Stormy Daniels in an extortion scheme against Trump in 2016.
“Keith Davidson is lying. After I confronted her w/ her own text msgs, Daniels admitted to me in early 2019 that she & Davidson had extorted Trump in Oct. 2016 – it was a shakedown. This was one of the many reasons I fired her as a client in Feb. 2019.”

Amidst this tirade, Avenatti also targeted his former client Stormy Daniels with allegations of fraud and falsification of business records. He recounted an interaction with producer Sarah Gibson, who approached him for participation in a documentary about Daniels. According to Avenatti, Gibson revealed a plan to secretly pay Daniels for the documentary while concealing the payments from Trump and his lawyers.

Statement of Michael Avenatti – Last June, I was contacted by producer Sarah Gibson, who requested that l assist with a documentary about my former client Stormy Daniels (I had fired Daniels as a client in February 2019). On June 25, 2023, at 12:09 p.m. PT, I spoke with Ms. Gibson by phone, on a recorded line, and asked her a number of questions so I could determine whether I would agree to participate.
I was particularly interested in knowing whether the project was going to be legitimate and fair, or instead, a puff piece designed to put Daniels in a favorable light while ignoring facts and trashing me and Donald Trump. I wanted nothing to do with the project if it was the latter.
My first question to Ms. Gibson when we spoke was whether Daniels was being paid for the documentary. I asked this question because if she was being paid for the doc, it would be a clear indication to me that the project lacked integrity, would be one-sided, and controlled by Daniels.
Ms. Gibson told me that Daniels was being paid for the documentary, but that because she owed Trump hundreds of thousands of dollars from a judgment Trump was trying to collect from Daniels, they – Daniels, Gibson and others – had come up with a plan that would allow Daniels to be secretly paid, while at the same time keeping the payments) from Trump and his attorneys.
Among other things, she told me that they had fictionally “optioned” the rights to Daniels’ book and then routed the money Daniels demanded through a fabricated “trust” that had been set-up in the name of Daniels’ daughter – all to hide the money from Trump and avoid paying the judgment.
To say that I was shocked when I was told this would be an understatement. A woman I had never met or spoken to before was admitting to me, on a recorded line, that Daniels, she and others had engaged in multiple overt criminal acts (state and federal), including falsification of business records, wire fraud, and fraudulent transfers, all in an effort to defraud Trump and avoid paying him what he was legally due. Due to the fraud, I declined to participate in the documentary.
If what Ms. Gibson told me on the recorded line is true – and there is every reason to believe it is – how can DA Bragg possibly rely on the testimony of Daniels, who is herself guilty of fraud and recently falsifying business records to cover-up a crime (i.e. fraudulent transfer and wire fraud)? Further, will DA Bragg or others be promptly filing criminal charges against Daniels or others involved in this scheme?

Popular seafood chain Red Lobster has begun the process of closing nearly 127 locations in 27 states, according to reports.
As of Tuesday, the Red Lobster website listed the affected locations as “closed,” according to a report by Fox 59. States including California, Florida, New York, Iowa, and Illinois were among those hit by the unexpected closures.
In Danville, Illinois, Mayor Rickey Williams Jr. took to Facebook to express his dismay.
“I was just notified by one of our local Red Lobster managers that after 31 years of serving our community, without notice, their parent company laid off the entire crew and closed the restaurant effective immediately,” Williams wrote.
“This is despite the fact that they were rated number 15 out of over 600 stores for customer service & satisfaction last year. They also shuttered nearly 120 other stores without notice,” Williams added.
The parent company’s abrupt decision to shutter these locations comes as it prepares to auction off more than 50 sites across the country. TageX Brands, a restaurant liquidation company, has announced that it will oversee the sale of equipment from the closed restaurants, describing it as its “largest restaurant equipment auction ever.” However, only 48 locations are specifically listed in its catalog, Fox Business reported.
“As of today, select Red Lobster locations are CLOSED. On our Restaurant Equipment marketplace, we are auctioning off 50+ locations across the country. These auctions are WINNER TAKES ALL – meaning, each winner will receive the ENTIRE contents of the Red Lobster location they bid on. Auctions are live and will end periodically on Thursday, May 16, 2024,” TageX wrote on its website.
The locations participating in this massive auction span across several states. The auction includes locations in the following states:
Alabama
California
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Maryland
Michigan
Mississippi
New York
New Jersey
North Dakota
Oklahoma
South Carolina
Texas
Virginia
Washington
Wisconsin
Earlier this year, Red Lobster’s owner, Thai Union Group, announced plans to sell its stake in the brand, citing a “combination of [the] COVID-19 pandemic, sustained industry headwinds, higher interest rates, and rising material and labor costs” impacting profits.
Earlier this year, rumors surfaced that Red Lobster was considering filing for bankruptcy to alleviate its financial burdens.
Business Insider reported:
Restaurant chain Red Lobster could file for bankruptcy protection as early as next week, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
People familiar with the matter told the Journal that the company, overwhelmed with hundreds of millions in debt, plans to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in Orlando before Memorial Day.
Bloomberg previously reported in April that the restaurant company was considering filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
[…]
Leasing costs, less foot traffic during COVID-19 lockdowns, and a failed all-you-can-eat shrimp promotion are some of the reasons Red Lobster and outside observers have attributed to the company’s downfall.
These financial troubles resulted in Thai Union Group, which had assumed majority ownership of Red Lobster in 2020, pulling out its investments. On a February earnings call, Thai Union Chief Executive Thiraphong Chansiri said, “We’re going to exit. We are not going to inject any more money into Red Lobster.”
The sudden closure of Red Lobster locations is yet another indicator of the economic hardships facing American businesses under the Biden regime. As inflation and costs continue to rise, more and more companies are finding it difficult to stay afloat.
The question remains: how many more businesses will fall victim to these economic conditions before Trump gets reelected this coming November?

Joe Biden Tuesday evening delivered remarks at the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies’ 30th Annual Gala in DC.
As usual, Biden’s speech was a disaster. He incoherently slurred through his brief remarks.
“They wanna undo what they finally got done — and then what we finally got done.. to make up for it. They wanted… they want to give power back to big pharma,” Biden said in an attempt to trash Republicans.

Biden trashed Trump and falsely claimed the former president told Americans to inject themselves with bleach during the Covid pandemic.
“Look, I’ll never forget him lying about the pandemic, telling Americans to inject bleach into their skin,” Biden said. “I wonder if he did it?”
“Might explain some things,” Biden said.
This is a lie. Trump never told people to inject themselves with bleach.
President Trump in an April 2020 presser was referring to discussions of testing ultraviolet light on patients and possibly using the light inside the body. “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it [the virus] out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning, cause you see it gets in the lungs.”
After mumbling through his speech, Joe Biden pretended to jump as he shuffled off stage.
Notice Biden’s stiffened gait as he exits the stage. He can barely walk.

Russ Vought, the President at Center for Renewing America, joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Tuesday morning as President Trump was held in court in his latest ongoing lawfare case.
President Trump was back in court on Tuesday as the never-ending Alvin Bragg show trial in New York City prevents him from campaigning across America.
The trial against Trump on still undefined criminal charges has gone on now for four weeks. This is the definition of election interference.
Of course, the mainstream legacy media lackeys are going along with this and reporting as if this unprecedented attack on Joe Biden’s political rival is something quite ordinary in American politics.
President Trump on Tuesday was flanked by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Cory Millis (R-FL) and turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson the worthless GOP House House leader who sides with Democrats and neglects his voting base on every issue possible.
Speaker Mike Johnson spoke to reporters from outside the courtroom this morning.
Steve Bannon and Russ Vought responded to the Louisiana RINO.
Steve Bannon: What a pathetic clown. I mean, come on, man. It is Tuesday, 14 May, 2024. Dude, You’ve got the ability to step in here and use your office like you should to begin a judiciary, to begin a real investigation, not up there regurgitating war room. We can regurgitate here fine. You’ve got the actual power. What are you doing?
I think Johnson just did this to trigger me today. I think he went up there, just came to the sticks. We’re going to continue to shine a light on it. We’re going to continue… Boy, I’d like to have Maria Bartaroma on here right now.
We’re going to continue to shine a light on it. We’re going to continue to send sharply worded letters. We’re going to continue to… He runs around, he’s like a little boy. What the hell? You think the Democrats roll like that? The reason the country is in the shape it’s in is the controlled opposition manifested and personified by that wimp right there. How dare you go up there into the middle of this and come out and just spew more nonsense!
Let’s cut to the chase. The donors don’t want you to have Trump’s back. That’s why you’re not having Trump’s back. They’re putting plenty of cash in back of you, $100 million, Paul Singer in this group. And Stephen Laws’ group just announced yesterday $70 million, seven zero, $70 million in back of Senate races. All the big Senate races Except for, wait for it, wait for it, Kari Lake. This is a complete – this is a scam this con is so obvious, and you have the audacity.
I hope that our beloved President, President Trump, finally getting a belly full of this because this is welfare. Russ Fote now joins me. We got other issues with the House and what trying to do, clearing the decks. But Russ, I got to ask you right here, brother, you’ve been at this game a long time. Is this outrageous? He goes up today and just gives more happy talk in front of this instead of being in Washington, DC, driving the action, sir.
Russ Vought:I mean, this is exactly what we are so frustrated with as a movement is that our leaders that have actual power don’t use that power on behalf of their own voters, their own movement. And so we just ended several leverage points of funding in which it would have been totally It’s really appropriate to defund all of this law fair going on. There were amendments to do it. People like Mike Davis wrote the language for these individuals, and they just refused to consider it.
They have no desire to ever use the tools, the powers, the leverage that they have at their disposal to actually accomplish their purposes. They, in fact, just come up with shiny objects and hamster wheels for themselves to walk on while the real battle plays out and the Democrats are never opposed. They’re setting another one of these things up over the next several months, and it’s vital that we get ahead of it…
…Steve, you laid it out really nicely. Here’s what people understand. The funding for the government that President Trump would take control over is provided this year. And so if you put terms on that funding, if you restrict it, we can’t get Mike Johnson to restrict funding not to go to these lawful initiatives. But if you allow the Uniparty to restrict his ability ability to accomplish his agenda this year, you have made it so that for the first year that he is in office, he does not have the ability or the freedom of action to be able to serve the American people based on what the election and the agenda that he wins on. And so right now, you’re seeing the development of a meme. It’s called clear the decks. And what clear the decks is, I see in every conversation I’m having here in Washington, DC, is, oh, we have to remove all of the leverage points of funding to get them done now with Democrats, by the way, because, of course, the House Democrats are, in fact, in control of the House of Representatives. Get those done now between now at the end of the year so that President Trump doesn’t have to deal with these issues.
But what they’re doing with that is that they are both removing his leverage points, but worse, they are kicking the funding past the election to have a big omnibus bill in which they will include all manner of poison pill amendments, poison pill riders that turn off his ability to govern the career civil servants, the bureaucrats, to have the ability to take an America first perspective when you have discretionary, consistent with the law. All of those things will be tucked in, and they will do it now, and they’ll say, Hey, look, we’re just trying to get our business done. If you hear, clear the decks, you have to be able to interpret it and realize it is an attempt against President Trump.

ABC News anchor and former Bill Clinton henchman George Stephanopoulos has claimed that the American deep state is “packed with patriots.”
Appearing on Tuesday’s edition of The View to promote his latest book, Stephanopoulos made the case for the deep state, a form of shadow government that wields immense power regardless of who is in the White House.
Here is a transcript of the exchange:
ALYSSAH FARAH GRIFFIN: The book is so good. My favorite thing is you interviewed Situation Room staff. I have always said it’s White House staff whose names you’ll never know are the writers of history. They will tell us so many details.
STEPHANOPOULOS: “That was my favorite part about doing the book. I interviewed about a hundred duty officers from the White House and these are people who come, they are relatively young people who come from all over the government, the CIA, the DIA, the Defense Department, military.
Some people like to call those people the deep state. Well, the big thing I learned doing this book is that the deep state is packed with patriots, people who go to work every single day and are on the frontlines of the most intense crises the country faces and do it to serve their country and to serve the presidency, not the president. They don’t care about political parties. They’re there to serve the presidency and the institution.
SUNNY HOSTIN: And they’re doing it anonymously.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Absolutely. As one of them told me…we serve in silence.
The Deep State used to be a right wing conspiracy theory according to the media.
Now you have George Stephanopoulos happily proclaiming on the View that “The Deep State is packed with patriots.”

At another point in the interview, Stephanopoulos also weighed in on the upcoming presidential election where he made a less than subtle pitch for Biden’s re-election.
“It is close right now, though I think the polls show [Trump is] ahead in the states that matter the most, largely because President Biden isn’t doing as well as last time with younger voters and Black voters,” Stephanopoulos said.
“I think the most important thing that people should understand about this election is how far from normal it is,” he continued. “We have never had a former president, presidential candidate who was impeached, then indicted for trying to overturn an election. Never in all of our history.”
In March, Donald Trump sued Stephanopoulos for defamation after he falsely called him a rapist during an interview with South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace. Given the severity of the accusation and the lack of evidence for his claim, it may well prove to be a costly mistake.

Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel John Yoo on Tuesday evening explained why Michael Cohen’s testimony could trigger a mistrial in Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush money’ lawfare case against Trump.
Trump was charged with 34 felony counts for paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in an alleged scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
There is no crime, but Alvin Bragg charged President Trump anyway.
John Yoo explained why bringing risky and unreliable witnesses such as Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen to the witness stand could trigger a mistrial.
Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen took the witness stand on Monday and Tuesday.
Michael Cohen played audio of a secret recording he took between himself and his then-client Donald Trump. Attorney-client privilege is a right for every American — except Donald Trump.
Last week Stormy Daniels blew it on the witness stand when she testified to irrelevant yet very salacious details about her sexual encounter with Trump that allegedly happened many years ago.
She was also reportedly making scripted jokes in the courtroom to win over the jury but nobody was laughing.
Yoo said the prosecution went too far last week with the Stormy Daniels testimony and relied too heavily on a convicted liar.
“Jim and I were both at the Justice Department… we would never have authorized a prosecution like this that was so dependent on someone who has been convicted of federal crimes for lying,” John Yoo said.
“Did we cross the Rubicon? Did we go after a former president for the first time in the history of this Republic, in 235 years, for this guy? For this kind of witness? For these kinds of charges?” he said.

They say an image is worth a thousand words. If the image turns out to be an impactful high-end oil painting of one of the world’s most influential heads of state, it is probably worth many more words.
Britain’s King Charles III has a ‘new public face’, as he unveiled his first official portrait since his coronation last May.
The portrait was painted by artist Jonathan Yeo, and it depicts Charles against a background of ‘vivid red hues’ – maybe too vivid – wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards military unit, Charles was made Regimental Colonel of this regiment in 1975.
A butterfly flutters just above his right shoulder to complete the disturbing effect.
Reuters reported Yeo as saying:
“My aim was also to make reference to the traditions of Royal portraiture but in a way that reflects a 21st Century Monarchy and, above all else, to communicate the subject’s deep humanity.”
The portrait was unveiled at the Blue drawing room in Buckingham Palace.
It was commissioned back in 2020 to celebrate Charles’ 50 years as a member of the grant-giving body, The Drapers’ Company, in 2022, the palace said.
“Yeo’s past subjects have included British broadcaster and naturalist David Attenborough, Oscar-winning actor Nicole Kidman and former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The oil on canvas artwork, which measures about 8-1/2 by 6-1/2 feet, is expected to be displayed at Drapers’ Hall in the City of London – the capital’s financial district – from the end of August, the palace said.”
Commenters were not kind to the artwork, basically saying ‘it looks like he is in hell’. Even the NY Post called it the ‘ghostly-looking’ Charles portrait, but people went much harder.
Some asked if it was ‘all the blood on his hands?’, or said that they ‘100% thought this was satire’, called it ‘a little creepy’, ‘slightly disturbing’, ‘like he’s bathing in blood’.
“The portrait — which will ultimately hang in Drapers’ Hall — was commissioned in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales’s 50 years as a member of The Drapers’ Company in 2022.”

President Biden’s latest gaffe is that he insulted Japan and India by calling them xenophobic. But the US president has a history of insulting US allies and often demonstrates that he does not understand world affairs or the significance of the people he meets with.
When he was supposed to visit the UK last year on Good Friday, Biden chose Ireland over England, which upset Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. He also missed the coronation of King Charles III, which was a serious error considering the UK is the United States’ closest ally and has fought alongside us in nearly every conflict except Vietnam.
In February, he called Vladimir Putin a “crazy SOB.” Granted, Russia is not a US ally, but it is not normal behavior to hurl personal insults at world leaders. This is the sort of thing that makes it difficult to broker a peace deal in Ukraine. Similarly, Biden called Trump a clown and told him to “shut up.” The two are not friends, but with Biden at the helm, Democrats have lost the moral high ground. He also called a journalist from Fox News a “stupid son of a b-tch.”
When speaking at the G7, Biden mixed up Macron with Mitterrand, who died in 1996, and confused France with Germany. He told the leaders of the world’s richest countries, “And Mitterrand from Germany — I mean, from France…” When it looked as if the right-of-center candidate Giorgia Meloni would be elected as the new prime minister of Italy, Biden insinuated that right-wing candidates winning elections represent a breakdown in democracy. He warned, “You just saw what happened in Italy in that election. You’re seeing what’s happening around the world. The reason I bother to say that is, you can’t be sanguine about what’s happening here either.”
In March of this year, he insulted Hungary’s conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, stating that he “flatly doesn’t think democracy works and is looking for dictatorship.” Obviously, Orbán has never called for a dictatorship, but he has pushed back against unfettered globalism, prioritizing the needs of his country over the demands of the EU. A head of state prioritizing his own country sounds like a good idea, much like “America First”.
By far, the most egregious violation of diplomatic integrity has been Biden’s mishandling of relations with Saudi Arabia, the most powerful nation in the Middle East and one of the most vital regional allies of the United States. In 2019, during his campaign for the presidency, Biden called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a “pariah” state. He threatened, “We [are] going to, in fact, make them pay the price, and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are.”
Three years later, when gasoline had hit record highs, he crawled to the Kingdom to beg them to increase output and bring oil prices down. Before leaving the US, he downplayed the significance of the meeting, telling reporters that he was not traveling to the Middle East for the specific purpose of meeting with the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, but rather, that the two would both be attending a conference and might see each other casually. When the two met, rather than shaking hands, Biden offered the crown prince a fist bump.
If Biden were a social media influencer, then the fist bump would be considered a success because the image went viral. However, as the head of the most powerful nation on Earth, hoping to achieve diplomatic aims, it was a miserable failure that horribly offended the prince and the nation he represents.
One of the facts Biden forgets when he meets dictators or when he meets royalty is that they own everything. By contrast, the American president owns nothing—not even the limo he’s riding in or the house on Pennsylvania Avenue he lives in. Another point is that in eight months, or a maximum of four years and eight months from now, Biden will be retired, while dictators and royalty will continue to rule. They were there long before Biden became a signatory for the US government, and they will be there long after.
It would probably be easy for the man holding the most powerful position on earth to forget that he is a mere blip on the geopolitical timeline, but Biden seems to not even have considered this. He seems to actually believe that he, not the office, has the power.
Trump had been in the public spotlight since at least 1980. He was a self-made billionaire who regularly consorted with kings, queens, and heads of state, not as a public servant, but as an equal. This experience showed through in his handling of Putin, Xi Jinping, and the Saudis, as well as his ability to secure a meeting with Kim Jong Un.
Biden also seems to forget that the world is watching America through the internet. While speaking at a black college, he blamed white people. His habit of pandering to his audience makes him overlook the fact that those he insults are also watching. Like a campaigning politician, he wants to be able to say whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear in the moment and have it forgotten ten minutes later. But the world doesn’t work like that. Long before their meeting, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was well aware of Biden’s harsh remarks, labeling his country a pariah.
The Crown Prince was also aware that on that same trip to the Middle East, Biden shook hands with former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while he only fist bumped the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
It comes as no surprise that Saudi Arabia did not help Biden bring down gas prices.
In addition to not doing what the US wants them to do, several world leaders have snubbed Biden. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the U.A.E.’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan both declined to speak with Biden in March 2022. Similarly, Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador refused to attend the US-hosted Summit of the Americas that year because the administration had excluded Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. Most recently, Jordan canceled the US summit with Arab leaders when Biden prioritized visiting Israel.
Whether casual or coincidental, Biden insults US allies, and now the US is involved in conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, while trying to maintain the defense of Taiwan and keep a lid on the chaos in Haiti. Additionally, the US is attempting to prevent Africa from collapsing under the re-emergence of ISIS and Boko Haram.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), the Chairman of Trump’s presidential campaign in New Jersey, spoke to The Gateway Pundit on Saturday during President Trump’s mega rally, which reportedly drew over 100,000 supporters to Wildwood Beach in New Jersey.
Original estimates for the event’s crowd size were a staggering 40,000. However, OVER 100,000 turned out for President Trump.
Similarly, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Rep. Van Drew said that 100,000 supporters signed up for tickets to President Trump’s Wildwood rally in 2020!
During his speech at the rally, Van Drew called it the "largest political rally in the state of New Jersey history." Roger Stone added on X that it was "perhaps the largest and greatest rally in US political history:

More from Dan Scavino on X:
Van Drew told The Gateway Pundit that these people are "tired of it all" from the Biden Regime, and New Jersey will be Trump country in 2024.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump is even making a comeback in the polls in New York, a state where Democrats have won by double digits in every presidential election since 1988! As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump declared, during his speech, that he is “going to officially play” and win in blue states like New Jersey, Minnesota, and Virginia.
Prior to the President's speech and before the actual number of attendees was known, Congressman Van Drew spoke to The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson to share what this massive rally and Biden's failed agenda means for New Jersey in 2024.
Watch below:
Conradson: There's got to be more than 40,000 people here. Do you think Joe Biden could ever pull a crowd like this in any state?
Van Drew: Never. These are people who believe in America. They're here because they believe in American exceptionalism. They believe in the shining city on the hill. They are not here to save the Republican Party. They are here to save the very Republic itself. They're people, men and women from across the gamut, all walks of society, all endeavors, but they believe in this great country, and so do I. And you know what they know? They know that Donald Trump does as well. They want to save us, and that's what we're doing today. It’s a great day; feel the energy. I wish everybody, there's so many people here, but you can feel the Americanism and the American exceptionalism and the joy and the love that's here today.
Conradson: We saw this just four years ago, the same venue, the same type of crowd. I saw up here it says “New Jersey is Trump Country.” Is that going to reign true here in 2024?
Van Drew: It's gonna reign true. Recent polls have shown that Donald Trump is closing in. People here are paying high taxes, they're tired of it. They're tired of open borders and illegals coming in and using our resources up. They're tired of the corruption in the Biden administration. They are tired of people trying to take Donald Trump and remove him from the ballot, trying to impeach him, trying to phony up law cases against him that aren't true. They're just tired of it all. They want a fair election, and they want to save America.
Conradson: Speaking of illegal immigration, I come from Arizona, where we have illegals all over the place. I never expected to see it out here in New Jersey, in New York, you know, flooding the streets, stealing the taxpayers dollars. What do the people of New Jersey think about the illegals that are overrunning their state under Biden's watch?
Van Drew: They know that is money that would go to take care of veterans, that money that would go to put into our Social Security fund, that would go into Medicare, that would go into our defense — all good things. That money is going to illegal immigrants to pay for their transportation, to pay for their housing, to pay for their medical care, and in some cases to subsidize their college education. People can't afford to educate their own kids, and they're working two and three jobs. Come on! I believe in America, and it is America first. That's a great thing. And it's good. You know what? They try to make MAGA a bad thing. MAGA, Make America Great Again. What the hell was wrong with that? That is great. America is great. America is a gift from God. Look around you, look at these big blue skies, look at the beautiful ocean off the east coast here. God has given us a gift. Let us not squander it. Let us keep it.
Conradson: And we see what they're trying to do with Trump, trying to take him off the ballot, trying to put him in prison. What kind of impact is that having on the voters in New Jersey? Do they see through the noise?
Van Drew: I think they do see through the noise. There is a backlash. They tried to impeach him; it didn't work. Then they tried to take him off the ballot; totally illegal and didn't work. I guess they learned that from Putin in Russia. Then they are trying now to really create these phony cases that are nothing burgers. There's nothing there. But they're just trying to stop him from being able to campaign. They are deathly afraid of telling the truth. They don't want to hear the truth. They don't want the swamp and the cesspool that's Washington, DC, to be revealed. But we're going to reveal it. America is going to be born again, man. We are going to fight to make sure that we keep this Republic.

A charity set up by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, has been declared “delinquent” in the state of California and must stop raising or spending money with immediate effect.
According to Page Six, the charity has failed to submit annual reports and pay the necessary fees in order to qualify for charitable status:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s charity foundation has been declared delinquent and ordered to stop raising or spending money, Page Six can reveal.
The royal duo have let the official registration fees for their charity, Archewell, lapse since at least the beginning of May, according to an official letter from California’s attorney general, Rob Bonta.
The document states that Archewell has been listed as “delinquent” with the registry of charities and fundraisers for failing to submit its annual report and its registration fees.
The note adds, “An organization that is listed as delinquent is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds.”
The ruling will come as another blow to the couple’s reputation, which has nosedived since they decided to give up Royal duties and move to Hollywood to cash in on their names and pursue left-wing activism.
Donations to Archewell collapsed by a staggering $11 million between 2021 and 2022, although the couple still managed to find money to give their right-hand man, James Holt, a staggering 280 percent pay rise.
Last year, the couple were dropped by Spotify from their their $20 million podcasting and were consequently denounced as “f**king grifters” by company executive and The Ringer founder Bill Simmons.
The couple has just finished a tour of Nigeria where they styled themselves as royal ambassadors, despite having no working role with the family. At one point, Markle described Nigeria as “my country,” even though it was the first time that she had visited.
“I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you’ve all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country… my country,” she said. “I am just flattered and honored and inspired. It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived, and I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour, so I can fit in with all of you and your incredible fashion.”

Northwestern University has already signaled its willingness to cave to radical behavior.
The Gateway Pundit reported that the university recently announced their concessions to the radical Hamas supporters who took over their campus to end their protests and encampment.
Two of the most notable include the promise to offer full-ride scholarships to Palestinian students and the guarantee of faculty jobs for Palestinian academics.
The University will also provide special housing for Muslim students and will “advise employers not to rescind job offers for students engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment.”
However, it seems that at least one professor’s behavior is concerning enough that the school has launched an investigation.
Journalism instructor Steven Thrasher is being investigated after a clash with police at an anti-Israel demonstration in April, where he actively encouraged students to resist law enforcement.

Even more troubling was the content of a speech he gave to students at the pro-Hamas encampment, “Our Work is Love,” which was posted online. In his remarks, he dismissed the need for a commitment to objectivity for journalists and also referred to Ahmed Hassan, the son of a Houthi youth minister, as a “comrade.”
“To the Medill students and journalists within ear shot, I say to you: our work is not about objectivity. Our work is not about ‘scooping’ one another. Our work is about you putting your brilliant minds to work, and opening your compassionate hearts, and linking your arms together understanding all of our fates are interconnected.”
Steven Thrasher, the chair of social justice in reporting at @MedillSchool, just posted the text of the speech he gave in the encampment. For the blocked (there are many), here are some excerpts. And by the way, the Hassan Zaid he mentions was a Houthi official. pic.twitter.com/VWntX8qjf2

Hassan sees many other allies beyond American college campuses, according to screenshots compiled by The Fix.
Hassan recently shared a post in Arabic that said, “May God be satisfied with Hamas” and wrote “Hamas is winning.”
The terrorist group killed around 1,200 people, including small children, raped women, and took hundreds of hostages during its October 2023 attack on Israel.
“Israel is losing,” Hassan posted on April 6. “Soon enough, it will ask all the citizens to join the army[.] Hamas will end them all[.]”
In other posts, Hassan wrote “Hezbollah” with a supportive heart emoji and posted pictures of the flag of the Lebanese group, which has killed hundreds of Americans.
Hassan also reacted positively to a post celebrating “solidarity” between Iran and Yemen against Israel and reposted a user who said, “Love live Ansar Allah,” a reference to the Houthi rebels.

Joe Biden’s America.
An illegal alien from El Salvador who entered the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation was arrested in the murder of a 33-year-old West Virginia woman.
David Antonio Calderon, 46, was arrested in Virginia after authorities found an unidentified woman on a burning couch in a field in Martinsburg.
“Early findings from the state Medical Examiner’s Office point to burn injuries as the likely cause of death.” West Virginia News reported.
According to police, Calderon, who went by the nickname “Amigo,” also attacked two homeless people with a baseball bat in April.
“Two days after the woman’s body was found, Calderon was stopped by police in his vehicle in Frederick County and arrested on the malicious assault warrants. Calderon, who goes by the nickname “Amigo,” allegedly attacked two homeless people with a baseball bat behind a Walmart in Charles Town, West Virginia, according to court documents. The two victims suffered serious injuries and were transported to Winchester Medical Center where they were determined to have sustained broken bones and concussions.” The Winchester Star reported.
Calderon was denied asylum in Canada in 2023 and turned over to US Customs and Border Protection agents. Border Patrol released Calderon and he went on to murder an innocent American.
Calderon is being held at the Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center in Virginia as he awaits extradition to West Virginia.

Joe Biden on Tuesday incoherently slurred through a speech announcing new tariffs on $18 billion worth of Chinese exports.
Watch below.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Joe Biden announced tariffs on $18 billion worth of Chinese exports, including electric vehicles, chips, batteries, and other goods on Tuesday. Biden previously criticized Trump’s tariffs and promised to reverse them.
When asked about President Trump’s comments outside the New York City courthouse before his day in court for the Biden/Bragg hush money witch hunt, Biden attempted to zing Trump but failed miserably.
Joe Biden Tries to Troll Trump After Announcing New Tariffs on China – But Fails Miserably (VIDEO)
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that President Trump spoke outside the courthouse and slammed Biden's electric vehicle mandate, outlining the consequences that American autoworkers are facing. He was joined by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Cory Millis (R-FL), former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson, the worthless GOP House House leader who sides with Democrats and neglects his voting base on every issue possible.
Donalds, Mills, and Ramaswamy spoke to the press earlier during the trial to condemn the weaponization of justice against Donald Trump and the testimony of convicted perjurer Michael Cohen.
"China is eating our lunch right now," said Trump:
During Biden's speech responding to Trump's promise to impose tariffs on China and bring American manufacturing back to the States, Biden was completely incoherent while trying to say, "Electric charging stations have to be as easy to find as a gas station."
This comes more than two years after Congress gave Joe Biden $7.5 billion to install electric vehicle chargers all over the country. As The Gateway Pundit reported in December 2023, not one charger had been installed. According to RNC Research, just eight have been installed as of today.
Biden promised to use billions of dollars to build hundreds of thousands of EV chargers.

For all that has been made about Trump’s messaging and behavior, you would think that the other side would operate with a little more decorum.

The power-hungry global elites are telling the world they have “watered down” the Pandemic Treaty that will hand over pandemic response to The World Health Organization.
Do NOT believe them.
WHO globalists are in the process of duping the 194 member nations into a sense of security before they quietly pounce.
There has been tremendous pushback after many of us sounded the alarm. Once we realized the original proposed treaty would give the W.H.O. the power to mandate lockdowns, vaccines, and vaccine passports in response to a so-called “pandemic,” we started a massive campaign to expose the plot. If passed and ratified by the U.S., it would give foreign bureaucrats wide-ranging power over us. That is unacceptable.
Reports are emerging that The W.H.O. elites plan on using back-room secret negotiations to slip back in the original language to include the ability to lock us down and enforce global mandates.
If the back-room dealing is unsuccessful, The Daily Mail is reporting these medical oligarchs will try to use their annual “Convention of Parties” to amend the treaty to include the widest range of damaging, overreaching tyrannical policies.
One of the world’s foremost experts on the pandemic response and how these globalists partnered with Big Pharma to wage war on the world is epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch.
He has made it his mission to expose the COVID Bio-weapon plot and those responsible for it. He is our guest.

Post-colonial fading power France is in a constant state of turmoil. La Republique is bracing itself for the hosting of the 2024 Summer Olympics in 73 days.
‘Le Petit Roi’ Emmanuel Macron, former Rothschild banker and Globalist Poster Boy, runs around the world pretending he is relevant, trying to make people forget he just presided over the expulsion of France from all the African Sahel former colonies.
Back home, society is ailing from the usual mix of failed, crippling European policies: unchecked mass migration deforming the social fabric, green climate alarmism, welfare state killing free enterprise, the rampant culture of death enshrining abortion in the constitution and now pushing for euthanasia.
Just last year, Macron changed the citizens’ pension rules by decree, generating a season of protest, because the French state is broke. But now, of course, he finds billions upon billions of Euros to give Ukraine, and pushes to send European troops into the war.
Meanwhile, crime is thriving, and the forces of order look more frail every day.
A dangerous drug Lord who was a prisoner is now on the run in France. He escaped after an attack that left two prison guards dead.
He was being transported in a prison van when heavily armed and hooded gang members ambushed the convoy.
Sky News reported:
“The escaped prisoner is Mohamed Amra, who is nicknamed ‘La Mouche’, or ‘The Fly’, according to reports by French media. The 30-year-old is a drug dealer from northern France, police sources said.”

The Fly is suspected of ordering a murder in Marseille and has ties to the city’s powerful “Blacks” gang.
“He was under high surveillance and had recently been sentenced for burglary. He was also under investigation for a kidnapping and homicide case in Marseille, according to public prosecutor Laure Beccuau.
However, he was not considered a ‘radicalized’ prisoner, according to police sources speaking to French newspaper Le Figaro.”
French authorities dropping the ball at every turn.
A father of 2 children and a future father, whose wife is 5 months pregnant, lost their lives in the attack.

President Trump was back in court on Tuesday as the never-ending Alvin Bragg show trial in New York City prevents him from campaigning across America.
The trial against Trump on still undefined criminal charges has gone on now for four weeks. This is the definition of election interference.
Of course, the mainstream legacy media lackeys are going along with this and reporting as if this unprecedented attack on Joe Biden’s political rival is something quite ordinary in American politics.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Trump was joined by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Cory Millis (R-FL), former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson, the worthless GOP House House leader who sides with Democrats and neglects his voting base on every issue possible.
Before his day in court, Trump slammed Democrats’ political persecutions as a substitute for campaigning and the far-left judge’s gag order against him by reading quotes others’ quotes as he did yesterday:
Donalds, Mills, and Ramaswamy spoke to the press earlier during the trial to condemn the weaponization of justice against Donald Trump and the testimony of convicted perjurer Michael Cohen.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Cohen took the stand Tuesday in what many are calling a theatrical performance in the sham Biden/Bragg hush money trial and admitted to lying to Congress and serving prison time, all in a bid to shield the man he now accuses: President Donald Trump.
Watch below:
Vivek Ramaswamy: So this is a shame, shame on the spirit of our country's history, but we will get through it and be stronger because you know, who ultimately actually casts the vote on this case? It's not just the jurors in that jury box. It's every one of you at home. It's every American who votes this November to say no to the weaponization of justice. And if you're at home, you may say you know what, I don't agree with everything Donald Trump's ever said. You know what, I may not agree with some of his policies even, even though they were great policies for four years, but you do agree, whether you are Democrat, or Republican, or black, or white, or gay, or straight, or man, or woman, that our justice system should be blind to politics, that regardless of whether your last name is Biden or Trump, regardless of whether you've been a politician or not, you get a fair shake in our legal system.
Rep. Byron Donalds(R-FL): Ladies and gentlemen of America, this trial is a joke. This thing is a farce. We were in there all morning. Michael Cohen basically sat there and said, Yeah, he invoiced legal expenses. The Trump Organization, not the campaign, paid out money in legal expenses. Where's the crime? There is no crime. The only crime that's happening here is this Democrat judge and the Democrat Party prosecuting their political rival, right in the middle of a presidential election. The crime here is that the issues facing our nation are not being addressed by the Democrats, but they want to go after Donald Trump. And there's nothing wrong. There's nothing that has been wrong here. Nothing that has been done poorly by President Trump. The only thing that's being done wrong is by this judge. His daughter is making money, raising money for Democrats, and all of the fundraising emails and all the fundraising things are about this trial that his daughter is using? He won't recuse himself?
This is a travesty of justice. This is a misuse of the justice system. And look around New York. New York's got plenty of issues. I'm from Brooklyn, New York. You have all of NYPD’s finest down here because of this travesty going on in that courtroom. Meanwhile, the citizens of New York are less safe, and the district attorney in New York is not prosecuting real crime. He's a Soros-backed DA going after his chief political rival. Donald Trump. America is better than this. And so unfortunately, it's going to take the American people this November to let their voices be heard on this travesty of justice that's occurring and making sure that Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States. I've never seen anything like it. This is a joke. It is a farce. It is a travesty. We are better than this as Americans. Unfortunately, the Democrat Party has lost their ever-loving minds. And so it's going to take the American people to remind them that justice is supposed to be blind. It is not supposed to be going after political opponents and political rivals.
Rep Cory Mills (R-FL): What did we learn here today? What we've learned is that Michael Cohen, who has no credibility, who has purged himself multiple times, who has zero integrity, has actually admitted to defrauding the Trump Organization. He has listed his invoice as being actual legal precedence, where, in fact, he's now claiming that it's something other than that and that he knowingly and fraudulently put that forward. Look, as we talked about, why do they want this trial to continue? Well, they want it to continue because this is the fundraising source for Adam Schiff, for Biden, and for the Democrat opponents. This is nothing more than election interference at its finest.
You are seeing where the weaponization of what was the Department of Justice, now the Department of Injustice, has continued to be utilized against the American people and against the President of The United States. I will tell you right now, the same way that I stand here, steadfast behind our president, I know that America stands with them as well. They see this sham indictment. They see this for what it is without any actual substance whatsoever. Keep in mind, they keep actually talking about the FEC violations. But when you're utilizing personal funds or utilizing a trust, that is not campaign funding there is no violation, which is why the FEC never actually even pursued this. And so, I think the American people see this for what it is. They want to keep President Trump off the campaign trail. They're seeing what's happening in the swing states across America. And they're seeing exactly that this is draining down assets and resources that can be utilized by the President to continue to forge ahead to build a stronger economy, to secure our border, and to get our nation back on track. This is a sham, and that is the only thing this is Michael Cohen has no credibility, no integrity, and this is weaponization against our president.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken took to the stage in Kyiv, belting out Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” at Barman Dictat, an underground cocktail bar and music venue, while Russian troops continue their advance in northeastern Ukraine.
Is this the best use of American tax dollars during an international crisis?
“The coming weeks and months will demand a great deal of Ukrainians, who have already sacrificed so much. I’ve come to Ukraine with a message: You are not alone,” Blinken said during a speech at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 13 News Now reported.
“We sometimes hear that time is on Putin’s side,” Blinken added. “That Russia’s bigger population, Putin’s willingness to throw more Russians into the meat grinder of his making, and sink more of Russia’s resources into trying to subjugate Ukraine means that Russia can’t lose.”
“In fact, Russia’s been losing the battle to control Ukraine’s destiny for 20 years. And Putin has it wrong – time is on Ukraine’s side,” he said. “As the war goes on, Russia is going back in time. Ukraine is moving forward.”
His words, however, have been overshadowed by a bizarre incident later that evening.
In a surreal twist, Blinken took to the stage at a local bar called The Barman, joining a band to cover Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
The video of the performance, which quickly went viral, shows the top US diplomat rocking out as Russian forces continue to make significant gains in northeastern Ukraine.
Gen. Mike Flynn weighed in, saying, “This isn’t cool nor diplomatic…it is complete jackassery! How dare he play games while soldiers and civilians die and our billions of our U.S. tax dollars get wasted! Total BS!!!”
They’re laughing in our faces while taking our money. Instead of strategic planning, Blinken is unwinding on taxpayers’ dime.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the north front opened by Russia in the Kharkov oblast continues to overextend the already outgunned, outmanned and outmaneuvered Ukrainian forces that try to hold the ‘Northern Wind’ without losing any more terrain in Eastern Donetsk region.
With the Russian Federation forced probing several points along the 600-mile long frontline, it is increasingly clear that the defenders are very near a collapse of their lines.
This is especially if this bit of information that has arisen gets confirmed: it says current advances in Kharkov would be just a ‘reconnaissance in force’ and the real attack operation is still to be unleashed.
The information comes from retired Ukrainian SBU colonel Oleg Starikov. According to him, the main forces will be brought into battle only after a bridgehead has been created.
US secretary of state Anthony Blinken arrived today (14) in Kyiv for a speech. US officials are reportedly ‘working to speed up the delivery’ of the approved aid.
Top little, too late?
The focus point right now is the small Kharkov city of Vovchansk/Volchansk. 6,000 people have evacuated it since Friday, fleeing a second Russian advance after more than two years.

“Was it appropriate for Speaker Johnson to show up at the trial of the former president, today?” a hack reporter for the Associated Press asked Karine Jean-Pierre.
Karine Jean-Pierre admitted the Biden-led lawfare trial against Trump is “related to 2024 elections.”
“So, look, I can’t speak to — uh — um — I don’t want to comment. Obviously, as this is related to 2024 elections, and I can’t speak to the speaker’s schedule. That is something for him to decide on and let’s not forget, this is also connected to a independent judicial process. So, going to be really mindful and he makes his choices on what he does, Um — um — you know, with his business that is his choice to be made,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Joe Biden is behind Alvin Bragg’s lawfare trial against Trump.
Alvin Bragg’s top prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a top DOJ official that Joe Biden sent to New York in 2022 to take down Trump – was paid by the DNC for ‘political consulting.’
Matthew Colangelo previously worked in the Justice Department (Biden appointee) and is a lifelong left-wing activist.
It was also revealed that Colangelo was paid $12,000 by the DNC in 2018.
“According to Federal Election Commission records reviewed by Fox News Digital, DNC Services Corp/Democratic National Committee paid Colangelo twice on Jan. 31, 2018. Colangelo was given two payments of $6,000, for a total of $12,000.” Fox News reported.

Tragedy struck as a former Obama campaign worker, and her wife lost their lives in a horrific car accident in California last week.
NBC Bay Area news reported Monday that Peggy Moore and her wife Hope Wood were killed while riding along in the Jeep pickup when it collided with a Chrysler sedan in rural San Diego County at about 11:15 p.m. Friday. The 60-year-old driver of the Jeep, along with the Chrysler’s driver, were also killed.
One passenger in the Jeep managed to survive the accident.
The medical examiner at the scene only identified Wood, 48, but a Facebook post on Sunday by the East Bay Stonewall Democratic Club revealed they died together in the crash. The 60-year-old Moore previously served as the president of the club.
“We at East Bay Stonewall Democratic Club are devastated to hear of the passing of our past President Peggy Moore and her wife, Hope Wood. Moore was a force of change in Oakland and the East Bay,” the post read.
According to her LinkedIn page, the 60-year-old Moore previously managed the 2014 campaign of former Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, worked as a senior consultant on Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton’s campaign, and was the Political Director for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential primary campaign in California.
NBC Bay Area notes Moore and Wood met while campaigning for Barack Obama in 2008. Moore was working as the Northern California Deputy Field Director for the campaign at the time.
In 2019, the couple founded Hope Action Change, an organizational development consultancy and coaching firm.
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) remembered Wood and Moore as “remarkable women” passionate about equality and social justice in an X post on Tuesday:
“Peggy Moore & Hope Wood were remarkable women who dedicated their lives to equality & justice,” Lee wrote. Their values brought them together & are the legacy they leave behind. Their family & friends are hurting, but we must remember we are all connected through the work they did every day.”

In CNN’s coverage of polling data from what’s commonly referred to as the “battleground states,” even the liberal-biased news organization had to admit — Trump is winning, and winning “BIGLY.” Will this be a cakewalk for the former president back into the Oval Office, or is there more to the story?

Mayor Eric Adams has once again ignited controversy with his latest comments on the city’s lifeguard shortage. The mayor has suggested that illegal immigrants could be the solution to New York City’s staffing woes, specifically because “they’re excellent swimmers.”
This eyebrow-raising connection was made by Mayor Adams during a City Hall briefing when pressed about the challenges facing the city’s beaches and pools. With Memorial Day approaching and no clear resolution in sight, Adams proposed expediting migrant work visas for these critical roles.
“How do we have a large body of people that are in our city, our country, that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards — and the only obstacle is that we won’t give them the right to work to become a lifeguard,” the mayor said. “That just doesn’t make sense.”

Mayor Adams didn’t stop at lifeguards. He extended his unconventional recruitment strategy to the healthcare sector, suggesting that any illegal alien who claims nursing experience should be fast-tracked into hospital positions to combat the city’s nursing crisis.
“If we had a plan that said, ‘If there was a shortage of food service workers and those who fit that criteria, we’re going to expedite you,’ if you have experience that you are a nurse and we have a nursing shortage, we would expedite you,” Adams proposed.
Critics argue that Mayor Adams is not only incentivizing illegal immigration but also stereotyping migrants in a way that could be construed as racist.
Below are some of the comments:

A former Florida elementary school principal previously accused of child molestation is facing several criminal charges after allegedly trapping a student inside a room for almost an hour and viciously assaulting the child.
As Click Orlando reported, 33-year-old Dontay Akeem Prophet, the principal at Destiny Leadership Academy in Ocala, was arrested Saturday on charges of aggravated child abuse and false imprisonment of a child under 13.
Shocking surveillance footage shared by police shows Prophet entrapping the little boy inside a classroom for over 40 minutes. The principal proceeds to grab the student by the arm before holding him down and placing him in a chokehold.
Prophet then starts using a charging cable to hit the child, causing the helpless student to fall. The horrifying assault only gets worse as the sick principal twists the child’s ankle, slaps him in the face, and subjected him to even more awful physical abuse.
WATCH:
While being confronted by police, Prophet was shocked to learn there was a camera in the room recording the assault.
“I don’t know if you know this or not, but there’s a security camera in that room,” a police deputy says in the security footage.
“There is?” Prophet asks.
Prophet pathetically claimed afterward that the despicable assault on the underage boy was an attempt to prevent the minor from self-harming. Unsurprisingly, the police did not buy his excuse.
He is being held without bond at the Marion County Jail according to WCJB.
This incident was not Prophet’s first horrifying alleged assault on a minor child, either. In 2019, Prophet was accused of sexually assaulting a minor child back when he was a behavior specialist at South Ocala Elementary. Police said he invited the young student into his home and started sexually touching him.
Prophet resigned from his position after being put on leave by the school but received only a slap on the wrist from the criminal justice system. Prosecutors negotiated a sweetheart plea deal of attempting to interfere with the custody of a child. Prophet violated his probation in 2023.

The Gateway Pundit has shared the heartbreaking story of what has been done to J6er Isaac Thomas.
Isaac was orphaned at the age of 6 and endured years of abuse and neglect as a child— trafficked through various placements while in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services. Thomas emancipated himself at 16 and got involved in political activism.
Isaac, who was only 18 at the time of January 6, was inspired to speak out for other victims of the failed foster care system when he went to the Capitol along with thousands of other Americans to peacefully protest and make their muffled voices heard.
Despite the miscarriage of justice he is currently fighting regarding January 6, Isaac continues to be inspired and compelled to fight the system that abused him so brutally as a child and to protect other children from enduring what happened to him.
Isaac shares, “I have filed multiple lawsuits against the system for the rape, beatings, and other abuse I endured during my time under the government’s care. I was unable to find an attorney who would do these cases without charging me, so now I’m thousands of dollars in legal debt on top of my J6 case.”
“But I refuse to abandon the children under the care of the Department of Health and Human Services, many of whom do not have families to advocate for them. They are depending on people like us to step up and be a voice for them. My lawsuits are not just for me but also to speak for the thousands of kids being abused by our government every single day. I know because I experienced it firsthand.”
Isaac has created a fund to continue his lawsuits against the government. “These bad actors are still using our tax dollars to experiment on our children with Fauci-funded pharmaceuticals. They are beating and raping them.”
One of the lawsuits is against an individual who babysat Isaac while he was in foster care. The individual was convicted of raping him and three others. He is also suing the church who tried covering it up.
The defense is attempting to get the judge to dismiss the lawsuit based on the fact that Isaac is a January 6 defendant. They are also asking the judge to order him to pay $36,000 from legal funds reserved for his J6 defense to pay for the attorneys for the people that tried covering it up.”
The criminal rape case was originally filed when Isaac was only seven years old and has absolutely nothing to do with J6.
Isaac says, “In my opinion, this proves that the left is weaponizing the courts and the government even in cases that have nothing to do with politics. Even for a convicted rapist.”
Isaac has also filed a lawsuit against Lakeside Academy.
Lakeside is one of the DHHS-licensed foster placements he was placed in, where he alleges both physical and sexual abuse.
One of his friends, Cornelius Frederick, 16, was murdered at that facility.
NBC News reported that at least six staff members at the Michigan youth facility restrained the teenager until he lost consciousness. Cornelius died in a hospital two days later.
If you or anyone you know was a victim of the foster care system and want to help us get justice please email Morelife1819@gmail.com
Isaac also asks that we pray for these children and continue to help him share their stories. If you are able, please also help Isaac in his fight.

A reporter asked Biden about Trump’s remarks on his decision to finally impose tariffs on China.

The north front opened by Russia in the Kharkov oblast continues to overextend the already outgunned, outmanned and outmaneuvered Ukrainian forces that try to hold the ‘Northern Wind’ without losing any more terrain in Eastern Donetsk region.
With the Russian Federation forced probing several points along the 600-mile long frontline, it is increasingly clear that the defenders are very near a collapse of their lines.
This is especially if this bit of information that has arisen gets confirmed: it says current advances in Kharkov would be just a ‘reconnaissance in force’ and the real attack operation is still to be unleashed.
The information comes from retired Ukrainian SBU colonel Oleg Starikov. According to him, the main forces will be brought into battle only after a bridgehead has been created.
The western and northern parts of Volchansk in the Kharkov region are already controlled by Russian troops, the head of the region’s Russian administration, Vitaly Ganchev, has said.

US secretary of state Anthony Blinken arrived today (14) in Kyiv for a speech. US officials are reportedly ‘working to speed up the delivery’ of the approved aid.
Top little, too late?
The focus point right now is the small Kharkov city of Vovchansk/Volchansk. 6,000 people have evacuated it since Friday, fleeing a second Russian advance after more than two years.
Washington Post reported:
“Russian glide bombs weighing half a ton each have been dropped repeatedly from aircraft on Vovchansk and neighboring border towns for days. The sound of artillery shelling has been constant. Self-destructing drones can be heard buzzing overhead before crashing into vehicles. So much is on fire — the surrounding forest, cars, apartment buildings — that the heavy smoke makes it hard to breathe.
[…] Russian soldiers had reached the northern edges of the city, and the Ukrainian military says it has sent reinforcements to repel the assault.”

As Russians advance, Kharkov city is once again about to be within Russian artillery range.
“’The enemy is coming at us from the north and is trying to push further into our territories’, the Kharkiv region’s governor, Oleh Syniehubov, said at a news conference Monday. The Russians are ‘trying to occupy the city of Vovchansk and take control over it, but our military is still restraining them there and the fighting is taking place in absolutely every direction’, Syniehubov added.”
U.S. officials do not yet believe that the Ukrainians are on the verge of a significant territorial loss.
“Though Western and Ukrainian officials warned for months that Moscow might mount an offensive in the Kharkov region, some military officials and opposition politicians have observed on social media that Ukraine did not prepare sufficient defenses at the border, allowing Russia to advance quickly into several villages. The Ukrainian commander responsible for the northeast front was dismissed on Monday.”

Ukraine has also been ceding ground in the Donetsk region, both in the besieged town of Chasiv Yar and also around Avdeevka.
Kiev’s forces are defenseless against Russia’s increased use of glide bombs, outdated Soviet-era weapons that were fitted with modern guidance systems.
These large bombs obliterate defensive military positions.
Newsweek reported:
“There are ‘active shooting battles’ happening on the northern edge of the Ukrainian border city of Vovchansk, according to a Ukrainian official, as thousands of people flee from Russian advances in northeastern Ukraine.”
Ukraine’s military conceded that Moscow had secured some ‘tactical success’ around Vovchansk/Volchansk, but said that the situation around the settlement was ‘under control’.
“Geolocated footage from Monday indicates Russian forces advanced into northern Vovchansk, the U.S.-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said in its latest assessment.”

“It is not clear whether Russia intends to launch a push to capture Kharkov City, but the current offensive has turned attention to protective measures around Ukraine’s second-largest city. If Moscow claims control of Vovchansk, the loss of the settlement would be a blow to Ukraine, but the fall of Kharkiv to Russian troops would be a much more significant setback.
‘Kharkov is an important strategic city’, Andriy Yermak, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, said on Monday. ‘We have preserved and will preserve it. But now active hostilities are very close’.”
Besides all the trouble with the situation as it is, Russia has also stationed small assault units near Ukraine’s Sumy region, Kyiv’s top general Budanov said, anticipating yet another Russian offensive in the north.
Telegraph reported:
“Speaking to Ukrainian TV, Gen Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, said that the situation in the Kharkiv region – where Russia launched a surprise assault on Friday – was moving toward stabilization.
Gen Budanov earlier told the New York Times that he expects the assault on Sumy as soon as the situation in Kharkiv is stabilized, as Russia attempts to divert Ukrainian resources away from other parts of the frontline.”

“Flu is constantly evolving, and it is clear that a couple of years ago, the current strain of bird flu changed to become supercharged,” says Digard. “Now that it seems to be fairly widespread in the cow population in the US, that’s a much more direct route where it could transmit to people and gain the adaptations it needs to go pandemic.”
messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, which proved so invaluable in generating Covid-19 vaccines, could once again be a vital tool, with the platform known to be faster and more efficient than older egg-based technologies. Current clinical trials by both Moderna and GSK and CureVac working in collaboration are testing H5N1 vaccines in people.
Given that H5N1 is still largely confined to the animal population, one idea for reducing transmission and limiting the potential for jumping to humans may be vaccinating poultry and farm animals on a mass scale.

In the early days of COVID, one of the prevailing narratives from the “truther” community was that the virus had leaked from a lab in Wuhan, a narrative that was promptly shut down as “racist” — despite being the most reasonable explanation and the alternative mainstream narrative of it originating in a Chinese wet market seemingly being even MORE “racist.” Now, information about the US State Department withholding information about the CCP and Xi Jinping’s involvement and knowledge of the outbreak has come out — and it is DAMNING. What exactly have we learned about the outbreak, and what motivation would the deep state have to protect Xi?

Michael Cohen took the stand Tuesday in what many are calling a theatrical performance in the sham Biden/Bragg hush money trial.
Cohen admitted to lying to Congress and serving prison time, all in a bid to shield the man he now accuses: former President Donald Trump.
Cohen now points a finger and claims, “…To keep the loyalty and to do things [Trump] had asked me to do, I violated my moral compass and I suffered the penalty as is my family,” according to the Washington Post.
He also admitted to profiting from his connections to Trump for personal gain, including by discussing him on podcasts and in books. After this admission, prosecutors concluded their initial questioning of Cohen, with defense attorneys set to begin their cross-examination after the lunch break.
More from far-left WaPo:
Michael Cohen expressed regret for the bad things he says he did on Donald Trump’s behalf, telling the jury that he engaged in bad conduct to “effectuate” whatever their goals were.
After working for Trump for a decade, Cohen became a target of regulators and investigators, and he eventually admitted to several federal crimes and got a three-year prison sentence.
“I regret doing things for him that I should not have — lying, bullying people in order to effectuate the goal.”
Cohen added that he didn’t regret his time at the Trump Organization because “as I have expressed before, I had some very interesting and great times.”
Michael Cohen revealed that his wife, son, and daughter questioned his loyalty to Trump.
CNN reported:
Michael Cohen said his wife, son and daughter questioned his loyalty to Trump and had a serious conversation that made him reassess his loyalty.
Here are the highlights of his latest testimony:
His family gave him a reality check: Cohen testified that his wife and kids started asking him why he was so loyal to Trump and why he was holding onto that. Cohen said he pleaded guilty after talking to his family and deciding he “would not lie for President Trump anymore.”
“Worst day of my life”: Asked what the day was like, Cohen said, “Worst day of my life.”
Jesse Watters, on his Monday program, criticized Cohen for his inconsistent narratives, suggesting that Cohen’s motivations might be self-serving rather than protective of Trump.
“Cohen’s been disbarred from practicing law. He went to jail for perjury and tax evasion, lied to banks, lied to Congress, and lied to his wife. Cohen even secretly recorded conversations with Trump. When you talk to your lawyer and he secretly tapes your conversations and violates your attorney-client privilege, he’s not your lawyer. He’s a rat,” Watters said.
“Cohen told the court he paid Stormy Daniels by taking a loan out on his own home. Why didn’t he just cut Stormy a check? He says he didn’t want his wife to find out. Why would Cohen’s wife care if Trump was paying to keep a porn star quiet? Was Cohen protecting Trump or himself?”

— Jesse Watters (@JesseBWatters) May 14, 2024
The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday that Cohen admitted paying Stormy Daniels from his own pocket.
Cohen said that his wife was unaware of these financial maneuvers due to her role in managing their household finances. He feared her reaction if such a large sum suddenly disappeared from their joint account.
In his testimony, Cohen also admitted to misleading First Republic Bank about the purpose of the bank account opened to transfer the funds to Daniels. He labeled the account for “management consulting” purposes because he believed the bank wouldn’t approve if they knew its actual intent.
Fox News reported that “NY v. Trump revolves around the alleged falsification of business records. Prosecutors say Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to quiet her claims of the alleged extramarital sexual encounter. The District Attorney’s Office alleges the Trump Organization reimbursed Cohen and fraudulently logged the payments as legal expenses, and they are working to prove that Trump falsified records with the intent to commit or conceal a second crime.”
It can be recalled that a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyers admitting Trump knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ transaction re-emerged this year as the judge set the trial date.
Last year the Daily Mail obtained a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyer stating Cohen used his own personal money to pay Porn Star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
The letter also clarifies that neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign reimbursed Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.
Cohen, now 57, served his time in a federal corrections facility in Otisville, New York.
On his way to prison in 2019, he launched scathing attacks on Trump, although he refrained from mentioning the former president by name. “I hope when I rejoin my family and friends that the country will be in a place without xenophobia, injustice, and lies at the helm of our country,” Cohen told reporters as he left his Manhattan home.
“There still remains much to be told and I look forward to the day that I can share the truth,” Cohen said reading his statement (probably written by Clinton fixer Lanny Davis).

Biden did it again.
A feeble, decrepit, brain-dead, old man with dementia and diapers is running the country. Have you heard?
And people with dementia often “spill the beans.” They have no filter. So, they act like little kids- they say whatever is on their mind. Secrets come spilling out.
Pay attention to Joe Biden. He has dementia and belongs in a nursing home, not the White House. So, sometimes secrets come spilling out of his decrepit mouth.
The secret to how Democrats planned to beat Trump in the 2020 presidential election came spilling out of Biden’s decrepit mouth during the 2020 campaign.
If only we had listened and acted.
Biden said (and I quote word), “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
Oops.
That was on October 24, 2020. Don’t believe me? Watch here:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-voter-fraud-organization-video-gaffe
Biden spilled the beans. He told us how Democrats were going to win. They were going to rig and steal the election with voter fraud.
And they did.
They used mail-in ballots with no Voter ID; ballot drop boxes with no oversight; ballot harvesting- a scam that is illegal in every other country in the world; no signature match; and millions of illegal aliens voted too. Without Voter ID and no one asking about citizenship at the polls, it’s easy.
That’s exactly how the 2020 election was stolen. Old decrepit dementia puppet Biden told us what they planned to do, and they did it.
Biden said, “VOTER FRAUD.” Why didn’t anyone listen?
Well, old decrepit Joe has done it again. So, this time we’d better listen and take action. Because out of the mouths of little children, and decrepit old men with dementia, comes truth.
During an interview with a Spanish radio station last week, Biden referred to millions of illegal alien foreign invaders as “Hispanic voters.”
There it is. That’s the Democrat plan to steal the 2024 presidential election.
Biden also said two other telling things. He said that speaking Spanish is “America’s Future.” And he said the millions of illegal aliens who have crossed his open border into America are “the only reason our economy’s so good.”
Oh my God.
Out of “the mouth of babes” comes truth. This is the Democrat’s new updated plan to intentionally destroy America. Biden just told you.
Trump is leading by a landslide. Blacks, legal Latinos, young voters- everyone hates Biden. Everyone hates “Bidenomics” and this crappy economy. Everyone hates Biden’s massive inflation. Everyone hates the direction of America.
Polls show Biden is the most unpopular president in 70 years- worse than even Carter or Nixon. His approval on the economy and inflation is the lowest in modern history.
And that’s why Trump is leading by double digits in the most recent reliable polls. And winning all the battleground states- including my home state of Nevada by 12 points and Georgia by 10. The latest AARP poll also shows Trump pulling away in Pennsylvania.
James Carville, one of the most brilliant political strategists and soothsayers in history, had a meltdown days ago. He is losing his mind because nothing the Democrats are saying or doing can stop Trump. Not calling him “Hitler.” Not using abortion as the only issue 24/7. Not indictments, rigged trials, or even convictions. “Nothing is working,” Carville ranted like a madman.
Actually Carville is wrong. It is all working- for Trump.
But trust me, Democrats have a plan. Biden just told you. It’s called, “The Great Replacement.”
Biden (and his boss Obama- the real President) have let in millions of illegals, or as Biden just called them, “voters.” Why would anyone want to let in millions of foreign invaders, criminals, terrorists and the world’s poverty-stricken who require welfare from cradle to grave? You’d have to be insane. You’d have to be a suicide bomnber.
Because to Democrats these are all simply new Democrat voters.
Give them all $10,000 visa cards, $2,000 cash, free flights anywhere they want (without any ID necessary to board planes), free food, free healthcare, free phones and free legal services. Add in welfare, food stamps and Medicaid. Add in free public school for each illegal alien child- worth $20,000 to $40,000 per child, annually.
And then ask only one thing in return- fill out the voter registration form and vote for Biden and straight Democrat down the ballot.
And of course, no one needs to read or speak English. Conveniently, they can all vote in Spanish. That’s why Biden calls the Spanish language “America’s future.”
The open border isn’t about letting illegal aliens into America. It’s about letting Democrat voters into America.
These sheeple will vote Democrat to thank Biden for letting them in. They will vote Democrat to keep from being deported. They will vote Democrat to keep the welfare checks and food stamps coming.
Democrats know Trump is winning by a landslide with legal American citizens- including this time around with large numbers of blacks, Hispanics and young voters. So, the only way to overcome perhaps 10 to 20 million new Trump voters is to import 25 million illegal alien foreign invaders to outvote and replace the citizens.
Hence the name “The Great Replacement.”
Don’t you get it? The polls show a Trump landslide. And they’re accurate, IF we’re only counting legal American citizens. But polls don’t count illegal aliens. These poll numbers don’t include millions- perhaps 25 million- of illegal alien voters.
Add them in and Trump’s landslide lead evaporates into thin air.
This is how Democrats plan to turn a landslide Trump victory into a loss. “It’s all about the illegals, stupid.”
Biden just told us.

A New York Appeals court on Tuesday rejected President Trump’s request to lift crooked Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order.
The appeals court said Merchan “properly weighed” Trump’s First Amendment Rights.
Unbelievable!
“We find that Justice Merchan properly weighed petitioner’s First Amendment Rights against the court’s historical commitment to ensuring the fair administration of justice in criminal cases, and the right of persons related or tangentially related to the criminal proceedings from being free from threats, intimidation, harassment, and harm,” according to the order.
The NY appeals court said Trump’s public statements posed a threat to the integrity of the testimony of witnesses.
“Justice Merchan properly determined that petitioner’s public statements posed a significant threat to the integrity of the testimony of witnesses and potential witnesses in this case as well.”
Merchan has trampled all over Trump’s First Amendment rights. Only Trump is gagged. Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen, the so-called ‘star witness’ in the hush money trial, can go on TikTok and trash Trump.

Recall that Judge Merchan expanded his gag order against Trump to bar the former president from criticizing his family members.
The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. The media has infantilized 34-year-old Loren Merchan in an effort to attack Trump’s First Amendment-protected speech.
Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.
According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case.
Earlier this month Judge Merchan held Trump in contempt after fining him thousands of dollars for free speech violations.
Merchan also threatened to jail Trump.
Trump blasted Merchan’s gag order on Tuesday morning in remarks outside of the New York courthouse.
“You ask me questions I’m not allowed to respond,” Trump told reporters Tuesday morning. “The gag order has to come off.”

Earlier today, RINO Speaker Mike Johnson, who is led by Democrats in Congress, joined President Trump at his lawfare trial in New York City.
Johnson desperately wanted the photo-op of himself standing with President Trump after he caved to every single Democrat demand since he was elected Speaker.
To say he’s been a disappointment is an understatement.
President Trump on Tuesday was flanked by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Cory Millis (R-FL), and turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson, the worthless GOP House House leader who sides with Democrats and neglects his voting base on every issue possible.
The sight of Speaker Johnson supporting President Trump today was too much for disgraced former Congresswoman Liz Cheney.
Cheney, a favorite of Democrats and the warmonger class tweeted out: “Have to admit I’m surprised that Speaker Johnson wants to be in the “I cheated on my wife with a porn star” club. I guess he’s not that concerned with teaching morality to our young people after all.”

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained documents explaining to noncitizens and illegal aliens how they can register to vote in local DC elections.
A federal judge last year upheld a Washington DC law that allows noncitizens – including illegal aliens – to vote in municipal elections.
US District Judge for the District of Columbia Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee tossed a lawsuit filed by a conservative group challenging the Local Resident Voting Rights Act, passed by the DC Council in October 2022.
The law not only allows non-citizens and illegals to vote, it also permits noncitizens to run for office!
Judge Jackson said the lawsuit failed to demonstrate how the plaintiffs are harmed by illegals voting or running for office.
Excerpt from Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 13-pages of records in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the District of Columbia, explaining to illegal aliens and other noncitizens how they can register to vote in local elections.
The PowerPoint presentation explains:
Non-US citizen residents of the District of Columbia can vote in local elections under the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022. Non-US citizen residents can vote in District elections for the offices of Mayor, Attorney General, Chairman or member(s) of the DC Council, member(s) of the State [sic] Board of Education, or Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner(s) Non-US citizen residents cannot vote for Federal Offices
To register to vote in the District of Columbia as a non-citizen, you must: Be at least 17 years old and 18 years old by the next General Election; Maintain residency in the District of Columbia for at least 30 days prior to the election in which you intend to vote; Not claim voting residence or the right to vote in any state, territory, or country; Not been found by a court to be legally incompetent to vote.
**
You must provide proof of your address in the District of Columbia at an Early Vote Center prior to Election Day or at the polling place assigned to your address on Election Day.
“Illegal aliens and noncitizens should not vote in any elections,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “That Congress allows the votes of citizens to be legally stolen by illegal aliens in our nation’s capital is inexcusable.”

New York Congressman Dan Goldman, a staunch Democrat and ally of Joe Biden, has openly admitted to multiple preparatory meetings with Michael Cohen, the controversial former attorney for President Donald Trump, ahead of his testimony in the sham Biden/Bragg trial.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Rep. Goldman made the candid admission that he met with Michael Cohen a number of times to prepare him.
“I have deposed Michael Cohen. I have met with him a number of times to prepare him,” Goldman said.
Rep. Dan Goldman says he met with Michael Cohen, witness in Trump hush money trial, “many times” to “prepare him”. pic.twitter.com/GphQijXuQw
— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) May 14, 2024
Goldman, an attorney, previously served as lead counsel in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump and was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York before running for office.
Cohen has become a central figure in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the former president. His testimony against Trump has detailed the alleged hush money schemes designed to silence stories detrimental to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
However, Rep. Goldman’s involvement with Cohen is now under intense scrutiny. Despite acknowledging Cohen’s dubious credibility and being a convicted perjurer, stating that he “is an admitted perjurer…an admitted liar,” Goldman’s interactions with Cohen are being suspected by some as a deliberate attempt to shape his narrative against Trump.
“[Michael Cohen] is an admitted perjurer. He is an admitted liar. He has testified inconsistently on the stand, so he’s either lying one time or the other, and he will be really skewered on cross-examination for.”

If the congressman’s interactions with the witness are intended to interfere with the legal process or preventing the witness from testifying freely and truthfully, it can be considered witness tampering.
Such behavior could constitute a violation of federal law under 18 U.S. Code § 1512 and § 1622, which prohibit tampering with a witness and subornation of perjury, respectively. The conservative base is rallying around this issue, seeing it as evidence of systemic election interference by Biden regime.
Political strategist and congressional candidate Alex Bruesewitz weighed in on Twitter, saying: “Congressman Goldman, who is a close ally to Joe Biden, prepped Michael Cohen for his testimony in the Biden/Bragg trial. More proof that this is a Biden White House orchestrated plot to interfere with the 2024 election. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”
Another X user wrote, “Why is an active Democrat congressman preparing Michael Cohen to testify against former President Donald Trump?”
Another user weighed in, “Is it common practice for a member of CONGRESS, in this case, Rep. Dan Goldman, to meet with a witness, Michael Cohen, multiple times to prepare him to testify against the candidate from the opposing party?”
Laura Loomer pointed out that “Democrat NY Congressman who helped prepare Michael Cohen for his anti-Trump testimony is a client of Judge Merchan’s daughter’s Democrat political consulting company Authentic Campaigns.”
Spectrum News reported, “Loren Merchan is president of Authentic Campaigns, which has collected at least $70 million in payments from Democratic candidates and causes since she helped found the company in 2018, records show.”
Loomer added, “Rep. Dan Goldman is a client of Loren Merchan’s Democrat consulting firm, Authentic Campaigns. Why is a member of Congress meeting with a felon who committed perjury? This is a MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST, and Judge Merchan needs to immediately RECUSE HIMSELF from overseeing the Trump trial!”

The Gateway Pundit reported Saturday that two large circular livestream portals were installed connecting New York City and Dublin, Ireland in a bizarre attempt to “bring the world together.”
However, just one day after the portals became operational, disaster unfolded. The Dublin portal displayed a stunning image of the Twin Towers on fire to viewers in New York, a painful reminder of the 9/11 terrorist attack. Now, the infamous invention has been shut down thanks to multiple explicit events, including one from a notorious “model.”
On Sunday, an Onlyfans star named Ava Louise forced the portal to shut down entirely after flashing her breasts as onlookers stared in shock.
Footage captured from the scene opens by showing her approaching the portal while brushing back her hair. Louise then lifts her tank top to expose her b**bs and wiggles them for several seconds while dancing around.

Louise bragged about shutting down the portal in a subsequent Instagram post. “I thought the people of Dublin deserved to see my two New York homegrown potatoes!” she exclaimed.
Louise then posted footage of her boyfriend speaking with security while she raced off. One staffer told him the portal would be down “for some time” and that “it’s very unfortunate that people are not acting in the best way.”
This is not the first time Louise, a native of New Jersey, has orchestrated a NSFW stunt. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, she achieved worldwide notoriety when she posted a video of herself licking a toilet seat on an airplane as part of a “coronavirus challenge.”
She told Business Insider at the time that her goal was to “capitalize off this pandemic” and achieve “a whole new level of fame.”
Louise’s madness can perhaps be best explained by her appearance on the Dr. Phil show in 2019, when she told the television personality that “the world needs” a celebrity such as herself. She revealed her desire to become a “skinny legend” and to become “Insta famous.”
She also said she would rather “die hot than live ugly.”
The New York Post reports several other vile incidents in addition to Louise’s occurred within the last week, mainly on Ireland’s side. For example, one Irish man was seen holding up a swastika while another was seen snorting cocaine.
The Daily Mail reports another video Dublin’s side of the portal showed a woman being dragged away by police after grinding against the screen.

A professor at the University of California, Davis urged a woman at a protest to put a gun in her mouth and pull the trigger.
Seeta Chaganti, who works as a professor of English, was heard telling a woman named Beth Bourne to “put a gun in your mouth you piece of sh*t” as she protested against transgender ideology.

According to her university profile, Chaganti is an expert in Old and Middle English poetry and is currently working on a project about the evils of whitness.
Seeta Chaganti joined the faculty of the UC Davis English department in 2001. She specializes in Old and Middle English poetry and its intersections with material culture. Her first book was The Medieval Poetics of the Reliquary. Her second book argues that to medieval audiences, poetic form was a multimedia experience shaped by encounters with dance. In this work, she proposes a new method of reenacting medieval dance that draws upon experiences of watching contemporary dance.
Her current project, tentatively entitled ‘Carceral Angels: An Abolitionist History of the Sheriff,’ traces a long history of the shrieval office from pre-Conquest England to modern America. It argues that the earliest days of English law forged the triangulation of violence, whiteness, and property that obstructs liberation in Anglophone modernity.”
Chaganti has served as a Trustee of the New Chaucer Society and a Councillor of the Medieval Academy of America. She is currently an Executive Board Member of Race before Race and a member of Medievalists of Color.
With nutjobs like this educating America’s best and brightest, no wonder the country is in such a terrible state.

A tragic accident in Dunnellon, Marion County, Florida has resulted in the death of at least eight individuals and injuries to 45 others. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning when a bus transporting migrant workers to a local watermelon farm was involved in a collision.
A catastrophic accident in Dunnellon, Marion County, Florida has resulted in the death of at least eight individuals and injuries to 45 others.
The incident occurred early Tuesday morning when a bus transporting migrant workers to a local watermelon farm was involved in a collision.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers have disclosed that the bus was ferrying laborers hired by a private company.
It has been reported by OCALA that the company’s owner was among those rushed to the hospital in the aftermath of the accident. The bus has been identified as a 2010 International model, while the pickup is a 2001 Ford Ranger, according to the news outlet.
On-site officials confirmed that there were no company markings on the side of the bus. The vehicle involved was not affiliated with any school district but is owned by a private company tasked with transporting laborers to their place of work. In response to this tragedy, a school district bus was dispatched to assist in transporting victims from the crash site.
Officials on scene confirmed that there were 53 people aboard the bus. The death toll stands at eight, with another eight individuals left fighting for their lives in critical condition. Ten people sustained serious injuries while at least 25 others suffered minor wounds. All injured parties have been taken to local hospitals for evaluation and care, according to OCALA.

The Independent reported:
A pickup truck driver has been charged with driving under the influence after he crashed with a bus carrying migrant farm workers, killing eight and injuring around 40 others.
Bryan Maclean Howard is facing eight counts of driving under the influence-manslaughter after the crash in Marion County just after 6.30am on Tuesday.
Around 53 people were on board the former school bus heading to a farm to work when Mr Howard’s truck allegedly side-swiped the vehicle.
The bus spun off State Road 40, hit a tree and landed in a field. Eight people on board died, while around 40 others were taken to nearby hospitals, some in critical condition.
The workers were on their way to work at Cannon Farms in nearby Dunnellon, Florida.

The presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is surpassing ballot access expectations and will likely qualify as a candidate in all 50 states.
According to a report from Politico, Kennedy has already turned more than twice the required number of signatures required to run in Texas and is quickly racking up other key states.
The report states:
Kennedy and his rookie campaign team’s ability to reach the requirement is an organizational feat — one they’re repeating in state after state. Kennedy and his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, are now on the ballot in four states. They have finished signature gathering in nine more and are circulating petitions for 29 others.
The campaign hopes to defy the odds and get on the ballot in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., — ensuring that his candidacy will affect the November election.
“In the last two or three months, I’ve been very impressed with the Kennedy operation for being able to smartly maneuver and get on ballots that were expensive and difficult,” said Michael Arno, whose ballot access firm worked with No Labels. ”It sounds like they’ve done very well in both Texas and New York, and that’s very impressive and a real feather in their cap.”
Speaking at a rally in Austin, Texas, Kennedy said that he had proven his doubters wrong. “The pundits, who at the beginning of this campaign, were saying it would be impossible for us to get on the ballot, and we got on the ballot in Texas,” he said. “And if we can get on in Texas, we can get on everywhere.”
Kennedy’s candidacy has become a matter of significant national interest, not just because of his family name, but also the way he could affect the outcome of the election.
Having initially pledged to run as a Democrat, Kennedy realized that there was no room in the party machine for his anti-establishment views and decided to run as an independent.
While Kennedy inevitably pulls votes from both candidates, polling data so far appears to suggest that his candidacy helps Trump more than it does Biden. Last month, his sister Rory expressed concern that his campaign will ultimately help return Trump to the White House.
“My biggest concern with Bobby’s run is that he is going to take votes away from Biden, and I think this election is going to come down to a handful of votes in a handful of states,” she said at the time. “And I am concerned that voting for Bobby is going to take votes away from Biden and lead to a Trump election.”

In a nation marred by negligent individuals in the government and the general populace, there are occasional moments that help restore one’s faith in humanity. The People’s Republic of San Francisco, of all places, provided one such moment a few days ago.
As NBC Bay Area News reported, a group of Good Samaritans inside a cafe refused to sit idly by when a cowardly thug tried to steal a woman’s laptop. The outlet notes that the attempted theft happened at Sana’a Cafe near the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
An employee of the cafe told NBC Bay Area that the would-be thief strolled into the back of the cafe and promptly snatched the woman’s Apple MacBook before racing out of the front door, thinking he was home free.
But unlike so many citizens, customers inside the cafe sprang into action. Video footage captured from the incident shows one man, who KRON 4 News identified as Henry Flynn, rush out of the cafe and make a brilliant tackle in taking the thief to the ground.
Other customers then join in to assist Flynn. They proceed to grab the perp’s arms and legs to hold him down until the police arrive.
San Francisco police arrested the suspect, 19-year-old Zachary Morris-Dadzie of Suisun City. The footage concludes with Flynn explaining to officers afterward what occurred.
WATCH:
Flynn told KRON 4 News that he learned from the police that the man had grabbed the laptop from a woman sitting inside. The computer was later returned to the woman thanks to Flynn and the other brave customers who helped.
Flynn also revealed that his phone’s screen broke while he was taking care of the thug, but the victim and her husband offered to pay him for the repair. Flynn did not say whether he took them up on the offer.
Despite his courageous actions, Flynn does not see himself as a hero. “Most people want to do the right thing,” he explained. It just takes one person to really get ahead of it, and everyone else will follow,”
Flynn, a fourth-generation San Franciscan, also told KRON 4 News that he is raising money to run for mayor this November.
“I see myself representing the silenced majority of the city – the working class, the bread and butter of the city, said Flynn. “I think what we need right now is the same thing that happened at that cafe where everyone came together.
“We need that citywide,” he continued. “We need everyone coming together who’s invested in the heart and soul of the city.”
KRON 4 reports Morris-Dadzie escaped the attack unharmed. He was booked into jail and charged with grand theft and second-degree burglary.

President Trump was back in court on Tuesday as the never-ending Alvin Bragg show trial in New York City prevents him from campaigning across America.
The trial against Trump on still undefined criminal charges has gone on now for four weeks. This is the definition of election interference.
Of course, the mainstream legacy media lackeys are going along with this and reporting as if this unprecedented attack on Joe Biden’s political rival is something quite ordinary in American politics.
President Trump on Tuesday was flanked by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Cory Millis (R-FL) and turncoat Speaker Mike Johnson the worthless GOP House House leader who sides with Democrats and neglects his voting base on every issue possible.
President Trump spoke with reporters before his day in court.
President Donald Trump: They are speaking very beautifully and they come all from all over Washington and they’re highly respected and they think this is the greatest scam they’ve ever seen. And some are Democrats. They’re very embarrassed by what’s going on. I just want to start by saying that on the electric vehicles that Biden is pushing down everybody’s throat, even though people don’t want them, he wants to put a big tariff on China, which is a suggestion that I said, where have you been for three and a half years? They should have done it a long time ago, but they’ve also got to do it on other vehicles and they have to do it on a lot of other products because China is eating our lunch right now. And they went away from what I was doing. They’re eating our lunch. So they have to do it on much more than electric vehicles and they have to get going fast.
But it should have been done three and a half years ago. I did it. I started, and then they started, started playing games. And it was very bad, very bad for the auto industry. In Michigan the auto industry is doing very poorly because jobs are starting to leave. We’re losing, you know, with the electric vehicle mandate. They’re going to be made in China. They’re all going to be made in China. And also in Mexico, owned by China.
A poll just came out, the very respected Redfield Wilton, and it has us up six in Michigan, seven in North Carolina, Pennsylvania plus two, Georgia plus Florida, plus nine, Arizona, plus two, and up in every other place, too. So that just came out. That’s on top of yesterday’s New York Times poll.
I think today I might just quote somebody that frankly has been extremely disrespectful to me over the last period of a few months. He’s watching this scam taking place. Michael Avenatti, have you heard the name? He said, “The next time you’re accused of something by someone, a co worker, neighbor, friend, significant other, stranger, ask yourself that it would be okay if only they were allowed to speak, accuse, antagonize while you were not allowed to respond.” He’s talking about the gag order, “…Or defend yourself in any way. If your answer is no, then you too should be angered by Trump not being allowed to respond to the various people that are making comments.”
Now think of it. You ask me questions I’m not allowed to respond. They’re the easiest questions that could possibly be asked. Only a guy like Biden couldn’t answer those questions because he’s not there.
You ready? So here’s a couple of quotes.
Mark Levin, great man, great legal talent. This is not a trial of Donald Trump. It’s a case of the Democrat party versus America. It also represents the greatest effort to interfere with and steal a federal election in American political history. Biden is seeking to clear the field. He wants to clear the field because he can’t do it himself. So he’s weaponized the Department of Justice. And as you know, they have their people in that room. Their DOJ is in that room because they want to try and hurt me. Now, the good news is my poll numbers have gone up significantly. This is not what they had in mind.
Newt Gingrich. This is without president in american history. It has never occurred to President John Adams or anybody else that you could jail your primary competitor, your primary opponent in his case, Vice President Thomas Jefferson. This goes back a long way. This has never happened in our country before.
This is their whole case. Are you allowed to call a legal expense a legal expense? I don’t know what else you call it, actually, but he brings it up here. The legal expense, it was, you know, what’s the problem? I never thought that as an attorney I could see a system like New York’s, one of the most sophisticated legal bars in the world really debase itself so badly. This judge should not be allowed in the case and he should not allow this case to go forward. Merchan should rule in favor of a directed verdict immediately. There is an insufficient amount of evidence. No crime has been shown. No crime has been committed. There’s been no crime. Judge Jeanine Pirro, she talks here. This is, well, she’s very excited here. He’s a fool. He’s not an experienced judge. So I’ll make that one a little short. I don’t want to insult anybody.
Greg Jarrett, brilliant guy. Greg’s argument is legally flawed. The Federal election Commission, FEC determined there was no campaign finance violation. The Department of Justice agreed. No civil fine was levied or criminal charge rendered. Those two entities have exclusive authority over federal elections. The state has absolutely no authority and the city, Bragg has no authority. And Bragg never wanted to bring this case. In all fairness to him, he never wanted to bring this case. Not a local prosecutor such as Alvin Bragg should be involved in this case. And by the way, the judge, who, as you know, is totally conflicted and everybody’s talking about it, it’s an embarrassment.
New York legal analyst Michael Morp(sp). CNN doesn’t think the prosecution has proven its case.
Senator John Kennedy, respected. Gentlemen, I will tell you that trial says more about politics than it does about it. An alleged crime. If you want to hide something from Bragg, you put it in the law book. Bringing in a fellow criminal trial, it hasn’t proved to be a felony. There was no crime. Everybody is saying there’s no crime. There is, absolutely. But I’ve been here for almost four weeks in an icebox, I call it the icebox, listening to a judge who’s totally corrupt and conflicted. Wil Shar, a finally respected lawyer. Hush money. It’s not a crime. Signing an NDA is not a crime. By the way, Congress, everybody in Congress have NDAs.
NDAs are very common non disclosure agreements. They’re not a crime. Claimant, CBS Morning News. There’s no evidence that this case is about campaign election violations. There’s no evidence. But again, we go back to the federal law. The FEC, Federal Election Commission said there’s not a problem. There’s no case. And Vivek is here right now so he can speak for himself. He said this is a sham trial. It’s politically motivated. It’s an assault on the leading candidate for US president. I would expect he would say something good, actually, so I won’t go through the rest. But he’s here. He’s going to talk to you. The speaker of the House is here. We have Byron, Donald Corey is here. We have a lot of great people here to talk to you and they won’t let them speak here. I guess they want to make it difficult for them to speak. So for some reason I can speak here, but I’m the only one that’s allowed. The gag order has to come off. So when you ask me a question about the people that we’re talking about, I’m not allowed to answer. There’s never been anything like this in the history of our country.
It’s a scam. It’s election interference at a level that’s never taken place before. And now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go into the icebox and sit for a long time. Thank you very much.

Netflix is coming under fresh criticism after needlessly subjecting its British viewers to a man with a fully erect penis.
In what is being described as “low-grade porn,” the streaming giant appeared to break the ultimate taboo by showing a man experiencing the effects of Viagra.
Mail Online reports:
Netflix was heavily criticised last night after British viewers were confronted with a fully erect penis in its new drama. Viewers, MPs and schools campaigners were shocked at the closing episode of the streaming giant’s six-part series A Man In Full. Actor Tom Pelphrey drops his bedsheet after taking Viagra to reveal himself to co-star Jeff Daniels in the adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s best-selling 1998 novel.
It is believed to be the first time a mainstream drama on British TV has broken the ‘erect penis’ taboo – and there was no prior warning about graphic nudity.It has highlighted worries about regulation of streaming services, with concern that children are at risk.
Many people have criticized the scene, including two politicians from the ruling Conservative Party.
“If Netflix is serving up this sort of low-grade, pornographic rubbish, we need to give Ofcom full oversight of the streaming giant’s output as soon as possible,” said Tory MP Alexander Stafford.
“Streaming services are available at any time of day, so watershed protection doesn’t apply,” added Tory MP Sara Britcliffe.
Netflix is notorious for promoting inappropriate content to its viewers, most of it layered with left-wing and progressive messaging.
The platform is currently also under fire for the show Baby Reindeer, which is accused of falsely depicting a man’s experience with a stalker who has since been publicly identified.
Back in 2020, the company sparked outrage after debuting Cuties, a French film showing an 11-year-old Muslim girl joining a sexualized dance clique to build her self confidence. The film is still available to watch and remains exclusive to Netflix.

According to Trump, the street was shut down for several blocks outside.
The New York Post reported:
Porn star Stormy Daniels wore a bulletproof vest to get to court to deliver salacious allegations about Donald Trump because she feared what “some nut might do to her,” according to her attorney.
Daniels, 45, was “paralyzed with fear” before her two days testifying to her alleged fling with Trump that is at the heart of his criminal hush money trial, her attorney, Clark Brewster, told CNN late Monday.
“She was concerned about the security coming in to New York,” Brewster told CNN on Monday.
“She wore a bulletproof vest every day until she got to the courthouse,” he said, although photographs of her outside court did not show any obvious protective clothing.
Daniels also “cried herself to sleep” before coming to New York to testify for more than eight hours last Tuesday and Thursday, the attorney said.

A court in Germany has approved the intelligence monitoring of the Alternative for Germany (AFD) political party on the grounds that it poses a “threat to democracy.”
As the party’s popularity continues to rise as Germans rise up against the globalist regime that rules them, particulary over the issue of mass immigration, the government has now found an excuse to monitor them by classifying them as an extremist organization.
Bloomberg reports:
The AfD filed a legal challenge to a decision by the BfV agency to classify the party, as well as its youth organization and a now-dissolved radical group within it known as the “Wing,” as suspected extremist cases.
Judges in Muenster backed the view of a lower court in Cologne that there was enough evidence of anti-constitutional activity to warrant enhanced monitoring, they said in a statement. The court “is convinced that there is sufficient factual evidence that the AfD is pursuing efforts that are directed against the human dignity of certain groups of people and against the principle of democracy,” according to the ruling.The extremist designation means that the authorities are allowed to deploy measures like tapping phones or using informants to monitor potential illegal activity. While the court didn’t allow the AfD to appeal, the party said it will challenge that at the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig.
The party were also denied the chance to appeal the ruling, but will be able to appeal at a federal court.
“It is incomprehensible that the panel of judges did not allow the appeal, even though we spent days debating complex legal issues,” said Roman Reusch, a member of the AfD leadership committee. “We will of course appeal to the next instance.”
Meanwhile, Chancellor Olaf Scholz celebrated the ruling, saying it proves that Germany has a “resilient democracy” and that the state protects it “against threats from within.”
Such moves are inevitably an attempt to try and shut down the party altogether, a proposal which the German government has made no secret of its intention to pursue.
Back in January, lawmakers from the ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD) debated the idea of banning it altogether, making a mockery of their supposed support for democracy.
“Calls for the AfD to be banned are completely absurd and expose the anti-democratic attitude of those making these demands,” said Alice Weidel, co-leader of the party, said at the time.
“The repeated calls for a ban show that the other parties have long since run out of substantive arguments against our political proposals.”

Warren Smith, a high school teacher and YouTuber renowned for his channel dedicated to critical thinking has been fired.
Smith believes his dismissal is tied to his YouTube content, specifically a viral video that Elon Musk retweeted. The video showcases Smith’s commitment to critical thinking in the face of baseless accusations against “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling.
Smith’s YouTube channel, called Secret Scholar Society, which promotes critical thinking and challenges conventional narratives, has evidently ruffled some feathers at his institution.
The incident in question revolves around a classroom discussion earlier this year, during which Smith gently challenged a student who accused J.K. Rowling of being “bigoted.”
Smith’s methodical approach encouraged the student to define what constitutes a bigoted opinion without imposing his own judgments, effectively teaching the student how to think, not what to think.
“Do you still like [J.K. Rowling’s] work, despite her bigoted opinions?” the students asked.
Smith responded, “So, let’s get specific though. Let’s define bigoted opinions. What opinions are bigoted? We’re going to treat this as a thought experiment. I’m not going to say what’s right or wrong or which way to think. The whole point is to learn how to think – not what to think.”
Smith broke down the accusation, step by step, questioning the basis and validity of labeling Rowling’s views as transphobic. By the end of the discussion, it appeared the student had completely changed his stance.
This is utterly brilliant. A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic. This teacher skilfully dissects the claim and challenges it by asking questions.
He teaches not what to think, but how to think critically.
Watch until the end.
You see the epiphany in real-time. pic.twitter.com/x00gWdOugc— Lee Harris (@addicted2newz) February 3, 2024
Elon Musk, recognizing the value of such an educational approach, shared the video with his millions of followers, commending the need for critical thinking skills among the youth.
Musk wrote, “Critical thinking should be the first thing taught to kids.” The post was viewed 33 million times.
However, three months after the video went viral, Smith found himself fired from his job.
“Seven days ago, I was fired from my school after four years of teaching. I recorded this the following day to share my perspective – honestly & in good faith – to move forward and put this experience behind me. I have no desire to cause complications or bring unwanted attention to the school, so I will not divulge anything beyond that,” Smith wrote on X.
“It is important to me to be able to speak truthfully and honestly about one of the most challenging periods in the story of my life, in order to move onto a new chapter. I hope all can respect one another’s privacy, freedom of speech, & treat each other with dignity – especially during such times,” he added.
In a heartfelt video statement, Smith detailed his abrupt termination, expressing his shock and dismay at how swiftly and decisively it was executed.
“It happened so quick. It happened like five minutes. There was really no conversation, so they clearly knew what they wanted to do,” he said.
He also lamented the loss of his digital assets, including a book he had been writing for two years, as well as personal and financial information stored on his school computer.
“I have devoted four years of my life to this school, and yesterday, it was like being a character in a video game and just being deleted,” he said.
His removal was allegedly due to a breach of trust—yet Smith asserts that he has never once divulged confidential information or overstepped any legal boundaries set by the school.
“The reason was, ‘We don’t trust you not to divulge information online or upload online.’ Well, I’ve never divulged anything. Dave Rubin, Dr. Drew, hours of podcasts, and not once did I ever cross any of the parameters that you laid out, that your lawyers laid out,” said Smith.
However, Smith speculated that his termination might have been precipitated by the attention his video received after Musk’s retweet.
“I understand if you disagree with me voicing opinions on YouTube or feeling like It’s easier just to get rid of that; I understand to get rid of a teacher like that. And I accept that,” said Smith.
Elon Musk commented on this new development, saying, “Critical thinking inhibits indoctrination and schools have become indoctrination centers.”
As more teachers face repercussions for fostering critical thinking and open dialogue, the future of education looks increasingly bleak. In today’s climate, encouraging people to think for themselves may just be the most radical act of all.

The post Censorship in the Classroom? Teacher Allegedly Fired for Committing the Most Heinous Crime — Encouraging His Students to Think Critically appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The conservative social media platform Gab has openly defied the Australian government’s demand to remove or censor a video depicting a tragic attack at the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church in western Sydney.
While tech giants like Meta acquiesced to similar requests, Gab has told the Australian government to pound sand, potentially incurring a hefty fine of $500,000 USD.
The controversial video, which includes a poignant message from Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, who was wounded during the assault, became a flashpoint for a clash between censorship and the right to free speech.
Two days after six people were killed in a Sydney shopping mall last month by a serial stabber, who was ultimately shot dead by a female police officer, Bishop Mari Emmanuel of Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley was the target of a violent stabbing while preaching during an evening service.
After a 16-year-old Muslim terrorist stabbed the bishop during a live-streamed sermon, the video of the attack quickly spread online.
The platform, which prides itself as a bastion of unfettered expression, especially for conservative voices often silenced by mainstream social media, is now being threatened with a significant financial penalty.
The notice from Down Under warns of enforcement action that could lead to civil penalties amounting to $782,500 AUD for non-compliance—around half a million in US dollars.
Despite the distressing nature of the footage from the church attack, Gab maintains that such content is critical for public awareness and discourse. The video not only captures the barbarity of the incident but also carries an important narrative on violence and resilience as expressed by Bishop Emmanuel.
Gab’s CEO, Andrew Torba, issued a fiery response:
We refuse to succumb to the pressure of the Australian government and will not censor the video posted by our user. We stand by our commitment to free speech and support the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church in their time of need. We encourage our users to share their thoughts, prayers, and support for Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and the entire congregation affected by this tragedy.
Gab was founded in 2016 as an alternative to mainstream social media platforms that are known for their overly censorious and biased policies against conservative viewpoints. We believe in providing a platform where users can express themselves freely within the bounds of American law. Our leadership style is characterized by vocal advocacy for free speech and a staunch opposition to Silicon Valley’s monopolistic control over online discourse.
We urge our users to stand with Gab in our fight for free speech and support for the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church. Share your thoughts, prayers, and support for Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and the congregation on Gab, and help us spread the word about this important issue. Together, we can demonstrate that the power of free speech is stronger than any government’s attempt to suppress it. Let’s stand united in our commitment to protect and preserve free speech online for everyone.
Elon Musk’s X was also ordered to take down posts commenting on the attack.
X has stated it will challenge the take-down order:
This was a tragic event and we do not allow people to praise it or call for further violence. There is a public conversation happening about the event, on X and across Australia, as is often the case when events of major public concern occur.
While X respects the right of a country to enforce its laws within its jurisdiction, the eSafety Commissioner does not have the authority to dictate what content X’s users can see globally. We will robustly challenge this unlawful and dangerous approach in court.
Global takedown orders go against the very principles of a free and open internet and threaten free speech everywhere.

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno is making it clear: if liberal migrants from blue states don’t appreciate Florida’s firm stance on law and order, they should pack their bags and return to their crime-ridden home states.
Sheriff Marceno’s primary message is that Californians and other liberals shouldn’t bring the policies that ruined their states to Sunshine State, Florida.
Sheriff Marceno’s message comes as a rallying cry amidst growing frustration with policies in liberal states that have led to increased crime rates. In an interview with Fox News, the sheriff, who had previously lived in New York, spoke frankly about the flood of left-leaning newcomers who bring their failed policies with them.
“My message… is clear. If you think you can deal poison and commit crime, stay clear of Lee County and all the great state of Florida. We’re ready, and we will absolutely find you, hunt you down, and charge you to force the extent of the law,” Marceno told Fox News.
“The only thing safe in my county is it’s safe to assume and know that if you deal drugs, you’re going to jail. We’re not going to help people take drugs. We’re going to help people that have drug addictions and get them the help they need, and we’re going to help the dealers to be incarcerated. It’s pretty simple.”
“We’re not apologizing for keeping people safe. That’s not happening here. New York getting people punched in the face for walking down the street. This is lawlessness. I mean, what has our world come to?”
“We have a duty to protect. We protect children. We protect our community and the elderly. I would hunt that person down with all resources, and I don’t care where they go, and I would punish them to the fullest extent of the law,” he said.
The sheriff pointed out an alarming trend: left-leaning individuals are escaping the very conditions they voted for in their home states only to perpetuate similar political agendas in their new Floridian communities. This cycle, according to Marceno, is unacceptable.
“They want to leave California. They want to leave New York. Okay. And then they come down to a state like Florida, where we are law and order, and they don’t change their views,” he said.
“You left a place where there’s havoc, where people can rob, steal, loot, do drugs in safe havens. And then you’re upset that it’s so bad there, and you come here and still do the same thing. Same action, same result.”
The sheriff described the exodus from states where chaos reigns supreme—places where theft, looting, and drug use are rampant—and expressed frustration at these newcomers who continue their old voting habits despite seeking refuge in Florida’s stability.
“I tell people all the time, and it’s probably not popular to some. If you don’t like living with law and order, have a nice day. Leave. Go back to where you came from because we don’t want you here,” declared Marceno.
As Florida welcomes new residents with open arms under Governor DeSantis’ administration, with its promise of lower taxes, better governance, and safer streets, Sheriff Marceno’s words serve as a stark reminder: embrace our way of life or return to the anarchy you left behind.

In the heart of New York City, the legal landscape was about to witness a seismic clash of ideologies. The trial against former President Donald Trump was underway, but amidst the courtroom drama, a new player emerged: Treniss Evans of Condemned USA is once again rising to the occasion to thwart the obviously partisan trial efforts.
With a fervent belief in justice and democracy, Treniss again appears as a citizen challenging the legitimacy of the trial.
Treniss Evans is filing a lawsuit in federal court arguing that the ongoing proceedings are a direct affront to federal election laws and the impartiality of the judiciary, furthermore damaging Evans as a voter and his rights to unfettered elections.
A summons was swiftly issued for District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor leading the New York effort, and Judge Juan Merchan, the presiding judge from the Federal Court in the Western District of Texas. Treniss saw them as key figures in what everyone knows to be a partisan crusade against Trump and vowed to hold them accountable.
Yet, for Treniss, this is more than just a legal skirmish—this is a battle for the soul of American democracy. Having already prevailed in the U.S. Supreme Court (see CondemnedUSA Amicus Curiae Brief Colorado Ballot), Evans stands emboldened in his quest to halt what he describes as the insanity of partisan actors manipulating the judicial process for their own ends.
** Please donate to Condemned USA here.
In the dark corridors of power, whispers of dissent grow louder. Politicians and pundits alike debate the implications of Treniss’s lawsuit, recognizing the potential to remind even judges of the critical balance of power between state and federal jurisdictions.
As the New York trial reaches a critical juncture, the fate of Donald Trump hangs in the balance. But for Treniss, the outcome is secondary to the larger battle for justice and fairness. Evans stated, “We the people have rights and free and fair elections is an understood expectation.” Evans went on to state, “Democrats and their partisan antics, be it January 6th cases or other nonsense, forced us to learn to fight back.” “A just end to this could simply not be more poetic!” “Condemned USA has many purposes and countless weapons to brandish in this labyrinth of legal conundrums.”
With the weight of the law on his side, Treniss vows to continue the fight, determined to stop the insanity of partisan actors. Their mission extends beyond this trial, aiming to ensure that the principles of democracy woven into the fabric of our constitutional republic remain sacrosanct in the face of adversity, a cause that resonates with many.
Treniss also noted that he is involved in numerous federal actions in response to Democratic-born efforts to undermine the American people and their choice for President. He said the next filing will come this week from a California-based arm of his team.

Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and FBI Director Christopher Wray announced on Monday their latest plan to censor Americans under the guise of combatting “election threats.”
Attorney General Merrick Garland who is directly tied to the historic persecution of opposition candidate Donald J. Trump led the discussion today in Washington DC on election threats.
He should have mentioned his name first when he lectured on current election threats.
Merrick Garland today mentioned the DOJ and FBI’s work to protect elections from national security threats. Garland added, “It includes our National Security Division’s and the FBI’s work to protect our elections from national security threats, including malign foreign influence and cyber-enabled campaigns.”
Talk about gaslighting! These are three of the most controversial and corrupt officials in Washington DC today lecturing on clean elections.
Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) noted the convenient timing of this announcement by Garland and Wray.
Just last week the Biden regime was forced to dissolve and disband the unlawful DHS Intelligence Experts Group stacked with deep state partisans like James Clapper and John Brennan following a lawsuit by America First Legal and Ambassador Richard Grenell.
It took them only a week to announce their latest efforts to censor and silence Americans.
Convenient timing. When one facet of the Censorship Industrial Complex is shut down, a new one springs up.

And off they go!
Mike Benz spoke to Lou Dobbs about the Government Censorship Complex earlier today.
Mike Benz: This is a really extraordinary scandal that really originated in the run-up to the 2020 election, where for the first time ever, the United States of America had a permanent domestic censorship office parked at CISA, as you mentioned, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at DHS, which used a really devious set to gain long-arm jurisdiction over opinions on the Internet. What they did is they said there’s this thing called critical infrastructure, which ranges from elections to public health to basically any sensitive policy issue. If you make a post online that undermines public faith and confidence in that critical infrastructure, then you are in effect committing a cyber security attack on US critical infrastructure, necessitating a DHS intervention by what way of censorship.
This really dirty trick of calling a cyber censorship, cybersecurity, is how DHS got involved in this business. DHS teamed up with the FBI in the 2020 election. They also created a series of cutouts in the private sector and the academic worlds to serve as the attack dogs for DHS content, for social media content DHS wanted taken down. This was an extraordinary scandal that burst open around 2022. There’s a preliminary scandal that burst open in about 2022.
My organization, FFO, was the tip of the spear in reporting all of that. There have been probably four or five Congressional hearings as well as three or four lawsuits about this. And one of them is currently awaiting a decision at the preliminary level at the Supreme Court. But because the Supreme Court stayed the injunction, DHS and the FBI were actually enjoined from being able to do what they’ve just done by the trial court and the appellate court because of a decision by those courts that this was in violation, an interim decision, that this was a violation of the First Amendment.
But the Supreme Court waived that, which is a standard procedure for them as they deliberate after the oral arguments and all the briefs have been filed. So the FBI and DHS are taking advantage of this lull period, awaiting a SCOTUS decision, to resume the same dirty work that they were doing in the 2020 election, which, I should add, culminated by their own arithmetic in 22 million tweets just on Twitter alone being categorized as terms of service violations under a new terms of service policy that only was installed because of DHS pressure. And they bragged on tape that this delegitimization of election processes policies wouldn’t have been in place without DHS pressure.

Until October 7, 2023, and the murderous Hamas attack into Israel, the Biden Team had been focused on the mysterious Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran.
The terms and conditions of the agreement has been chronicled by the United States Government, but at the same time, there has been vagueness on what the JCPOA was or said. A senior State Department official said in 2015, “The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is not a signed document,”
If the Obama era JCPOA is not a treaty, not an executive agreement, and not a signed document, just what is it? If it was none of these, why did John Kerry, Secretary of State at the time, beg Iran not to talk publicly about how he had been out maneuvered by Iran on JCPOA language?
Why did Ben Rhodes have to be disingenuous and mischievous to sell the JCPOA which he was lauded for in an infamous New York Times piece. There has been a lot of drama on the JCPOA since the document, which was not a treaty, not an agreement, was not signed in 2015. But now the multi-year intrigue is getting even more cloudy and unclear as the Iran lead for the Biden Team, Rob Malley, has been removed from his position.
Rob Malley was the State Department Special Envoy for Iran negotiations, but has been on unpaid leave status while under investigation for security matters. State Department has forgotten to purge his biography.
Malley seems to possess a broad and deep experience on Middle East matters, however he is at the center of what has been identified as an Iranian influence operation to penetrate the Biden policy making process.
Per the “The Atlantic”, a blue leaning journal, “The emails look bad” and point toward the role of a non-profit called the International Crisis Group where Malley had been President before joining the Biden team.
Malley seems to have ensured the placement of two key personnel Ariane M. Tabatabai and Ali Vaez who are identified as Iranian active sympathizers, or worse, as his key personnel with his office. Both U.S. Government Employees are identified as being part of the Iranian Government, “Iranian Experts Initiative” to influence U.S. Government policy on Iran.
Ali Vaez, admitted on X (formerly Twitter) that he solicited Iranian Government feedback on an Op-Ed to be published before it was published (while he was in the U.S. Government). “I look forward to your comments and feedback” his email to the Iranians read.
It is unclear where Ms. Tabatabai is, her presence is pervasive in most progressive think tanks such as Belfer, a typical place on the bench for blue leaning personalities.
She may or may not be the Chief of Staff for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations (ASD SOLIC), but she doesn’t appear on the website. A reasonable question for Congress to ask immediately – what role did any of these three have in determining the Intelligence Community priorities stack and were all things Hamas and Israel above or below the “cut line” of priorities.
Now there is a potential Rob Malley 2.0 on the Biden Team. His name is Maher Bitar and he is Director for Intelligence and Defense on the National Security Staff at the White House. Maher’s Bio seems to be a who’s who listing of globalist and Deep State accomplishments.
He has worked for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the same organization that has received billions over the years to accomplish nothing in the Gaza Strip, and had multiple members participate in the bloody October 7 attack into Israel. He’s a Young Leader with the World Economic Forum. Maher was part of the coup against President Trump where he worked for noteworthy Congressmen such as Adam Schiff.
His Linkedin profile is a bit lame – it shows that he is linked to Dr. Michael Sulmeyer, another Biden political who has been appointed, but not yet confirmed to be the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy in the Department of Defense.
The UNRWA accomplishment is quite noteworthy, I doubt that there’s more than one or two others inside the U.S. Government that have worked for UNRWA. But wait there’s more. Maher was the President of the SJP, Students for Justice in Palestine while at Georgetown University.
The SJP is a radical student group that has been quite vocal and violent against Jewish students and Pro-Palestinian causes on college campuses.
America is a diverse country and in 2024, there will be multiple backgrounds represented inside the U.S. Government, as there should be. However, the National Security Council position that Maher encumbers maintains significant influence on policy inside any Administration.
If weapons shipments are being slow walked to Israel, there’s a small number of fingerprints that would be on this Action Memo circulated in and through the top levels of the Inter-Agency proceedings of the White House and Departments and Agencies, and Maher’s fingerprints would very likely be part of this finite set.
Having someone with the provocative and extremist job experience of Bitar’s is brazen and over the top. If Maher wants to be a Palestinian activist, that is totally acceptable – he just needs to be a professional and leave government service. Doing it on or off the clock like a Portland public school teacher for Antifa is unacceptable.

David Hogg, the controversial anti-gun activist and liberal darling, took to social media to bemoan the skyrocketing cost of living under the Biden regime.
Hogg, who has become a prominent figure in the gun control movement since surviving the Parkland school shooting, took to Twitter on Sunday to lament, “Housing costs way too damn much.”
It didn’t take long for the conservative backlash to flood in. ‘Trump Meme Mastermind’ Brenden Dilley was among the first to respond, pointing out the contrast between the current administration and the previous one.
“Under Trump, you could have had 2.5% interest rate and been able to enter the market. Instead, you’re a pillow-biting commie who will stay a renter,” he fired back.
Political commentator Gunther Eagleman joined the chorus, advising Hogg to “stay in mommy’s basement, until Trump fixes Biden’s mess.” Another user, Travis, added, “You chose this over mean tweets. Selections have consequences.”
Hogg’s online rant didn’t stop there. On Monday, he continued:
“In case you couldn’t tell, my landlord just told my roommate and I they are gonna raise our rent nearly 10%.
Jokes on them though there’s a nearly identical condo in my building that’s over $1000 less than we are paying.
They are free to raise the rent however they want; it’s their condo. But it’s just annoying when we were already paying above market. Whatever, either way we’re gonna save money at our new place.”
The irony wasn’t lost on conservatives who recalled Hogg’s previous support for Biden’s economic policies, including the Inflation Reduction Act which he hailed as “a big deal” in 2022.
Conservative activist Scott Pressler summed up the sentiment with a direct hit: “You literally voted for this.”

As these reactions show, conservatives are taking no prisoners when it comes to highlighting what they see as hypocrisy and naivete among liberal activists like Hogg, who complain about issues that are exacerbated by Democratic policies.
The conservative consensus is clear: When it comes to the pain of inflation and the high cost of living under Bidenomics, those who cast their ballots for the current administration need only look in the mirror.

John Ratzenberger, the actor who played ‘Cliff Clavin’ the mail carrier on the iconic TV series ‘Cheers’ is a Republican and a Trump supporter.
During a recent conversation with FOX News Digital, Ratzenberger explained that many working class people support Trump because he knows how to build things and understands the importance of this.
Ratzenberger has been talking about the importance of knowing how to build and use tools for years. Prior to becoming an actor, he was a carpenter.
FOX News reports:
‘Cheers’ star declares why he thinks working-class Americans support Trump: ‘He knows how to build things’
“Cheers” star and voice actor in the “Toy Story” franchise, John Ratzenberger, spoke to Fox News Digital about his support for former President Donald Trump, stating that the president is a builder who knows how important it is for America to have a resurgence in manufacturing and skilled labor jobs.
Ratzenberger, who made a living from carpentry in between acting gigs over the years, also explained why he believes the 2024 presidential candidate has a lot of support among American manufacturers and blue-collar workers – or as Ratzenberger likes to call them, “essential workers.”
“Because he knows how to build things,” Ratzenberger declared.
“Don’t forget what he did before he was on television and ran for president. He built buildings, so he was in charge of, ‘We need more glaziers or brick workers or carpenters, electricians.’ And that’s what he dealt with all his life,” he said.
The actor added, “And so he knows probably better than anybody – one of the reasons that I’m a fan of his – that we’re running out of those people, and it’s jeopardizing our civilization.”
In this video, Ratzenberger talks about the work he has done to teach people around the country about the importance of knowing how to use tools and make things.

Science or resource plunder? The frontier is sometimes not entirely clear.
Police in Turkey reportedly arrested a man suspected of trying to smuggle valuable poisonous spiders and scorpions out of the country.
Turkish state media identifying the suspect on Monday as a curator at New York’s American Museum of Natural History.
Reuters reported:
“Police arrested the suspect at Istanbul Airport on Sunday and seized dozens of bags from his luggage containing some 1,500 scorpions and spiders, including tarantulas, as well as dozens of plastic bottles containing unspecified liquids, police said.
The state-owned Anadolu news agency reported the suspect was Lorenzo Prendini, a curator at the historic U.S. museum, without specifying a source.”
The American Museum of Natural History did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
“Police said the specimens seized were endemic to Turkey and that their DNA could be copied and their poisons milked for use in making medicines. The suspect faces charges under anti-smuggling law, it added without giving a name.
‘It is understood that these medicines have very high financial values and therefore taking these animal species abroad is strictly forbidden’, [Turkish Police] said.”
Research quoted by Police showed that the market value of one litre of ‘medicine’ obtained from scorpion venom was supposedly worth $10 million.
CBS News reported:
“Video published by the Demiroren News Agency showed officers searching hand luggage and removing plastic bags that appeared to be packed with dead spiders and scorpions.
The museum’s website lists Prendini as the curator of its spider, scorpion, centipede and millipede collections. It says his research into spiders and scorpions has taken him to more than 30 countries on every continent except Antarctica.”
To the Associated Press report, Prendini said the police had ‘disregarded permits from the Turkish government to conduct his research in collaboration with Turkish scientists’.
“The police completely ignored this and relied on the testimony of an ‘expert’ who has a conflict of interest with my collaborators … and whose scientific research is highly questionable,” he said.
“The police have completely violated due process and it appears they would like to find me guilty in the court of public opinion.”

Crews set off a chain of carefully placed explosives on Monday to break down the largest remaining span of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.
The demolition aimed to free the Dali, a container ship that has been stranded in Baltimore harbor for 48 days.
The ship lost power and collided with one of the bridge’s support columns shortly after departing Baltimore on March 26, causing the bridge to collapse.
The accident tragically claimed the lives of six construction workers and halted most maritime traffic through the busy port.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge is a significant commuter route carrying the Baltimore Beltway I-695 over the Patapsco River at the southern end of the Baltimore Harbor, and it’s the state’s number one thoroughfare for hazardous materials, which are not allowed to go through the underwater roadway tunnels in Baltimore.
Onlookers witnessed the mangled steel trusses plunge into the water below. The controlled collapse was designed to avoid further contact with the vessel and allow it to be refloated.

Officials confirmed that the detonation proceeded as planned. The next phase of the cleanup involves assessing the remaining trusses on the Dali’s bow and ensuring that no underwater wreckage prevents the ship from being refloated and moved.
Last month, the U.S. Naval Institute has reported that the Chesapeake, the largest crane on the East Coast, arrived to assist in the efforts of cleaning up the wreckage left behind from the Dali crashing into the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Friday.
According to the UNI, the Chesapeake, formerly named the SUN 800, was built by the CIA “to recover the Soviet Golf II ballistic missile submarine K-129, which sunk in 1968.” The CIA used the SUN 800 to help assist in the construction of the Hughes Glomar Explorer.
While the bridge’s reconstruction cannot commence until the cleanup is complete, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDTA) estimates that the Francis Scott Key Bridge will be rebuilt by fall 2028, with costs ranging between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion, Washington Post reported.
Some experts predict the project could take up to a decade to complete. Benjamin Schafer, a professor of civil and systems engineering at Johns Hopkins University, told USA Today that it could take a decade or longer. Similarly, Sameh Badie, an engineering professor at George Washington University, noted that the cost of rebuilding would depend on the new design.
The original Francis Scott Key Bridge, which cost an estimated $110 million, took only five years to build and opened in 1977, according to FOX 10.

Over the weekend, a Louisiana church that was filled with families and small children got a shock as a teenager dressed all in black entered the building during a first communion mass armed with a rifle.
Luckily, the parishioners acted quickly and piled on top of the would-be shooter, stopping him in his tracks.
This is an excellent reminder that people have to be aware, be vigilant, and act quickly at the first signs of trouble.
RedState has more details:
Terrifying Moments: Teenager With Gun Stopped at First Communion Mass in Louisiana
The folks at St. Mary Magdalen Church in Abbeville, Louisiana, were having a First Communion mass for about 60 kids on Saturday. They likely thought that they were going to have a beautiful celebration together.
But unfortunately, they also had some scary moments that intruded on the solemnity of the day. As the priest Fr. Nicholas Duper was on the altar, at about 48 minutes in, you can see a man come up to the altar, bend over, and whisper in his ear. That is certainly not a usual occurrence during a Catholic mass. You can see the priest absorbing something, and then he suddenly asks the parishioners to sit and to pray, as he starts to say a “Hail Mary.”…
What was going on was that there was a suspicious armed person — a teenager dressed in black — who had entered the church vestibule with a gun. Parishioners stopped him and detained him, pinning him to the ground. Then the police came and arrested him.

Is someone putting something in the water over at CNN?
Last week, CNN host Fareed Zakaria made headlines by suggesting that Biden should adopt Trump’s policies on immigration and the border.
Now Zakaria is telling Democrats that it’s time to face the ‘reality’ that Joe Biden is probably going to lose the election in November.
He comes right out and says that he personally doesn’t want Trump to win, but that barring some unforeseen event, Trump is likely to walk away with the win.
Real Clear Politics provides a transcript:
FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN: I have to admit none of this is playing out as I thought it would.
Trump is now leading in almost all the swing states. But behind those numbers lie even more troubling details. As someone worried about the prospects of a second Trump term, I think it’s best to be honest about reality. I understand that polls are not always accurate. But in general, they have tended to underestimate Donald Trump’s support, not overestimate it. I doubt that there are many shy Biden voters in the country.
The economy has been in a robust recovery for more than two years now with unemployment hitting a 54-year low in 2023 and increasing only slightly since then. But Biden is getting little credit for it. The shift here is stark. On the question of whom voters trust more to deal with the economy, Trump has a 22-point lead over Biden according to an NBC poll from January. This marks of a 15-point bump for Trump compared to the same poll in 2020.
Perhaps this is because inflation is a far more pervasive problem than unemployment affecting all Americans every day. Perhaps it’s because people’s views on the economy now are largely derived from their broader attitudes towards the candidates. But whatever the reasons it’s a stunning reversal in the midst of a relentless stream of good economic news.
On cultural issues, Biden and Democrats benefit from the opposition to the Republican Party’s position on abortion. But on the other great cultural issue, immigration, Biden is 35 points behind Trump as to who would handle it better. And I do wonder whether abortion will be as large an issue in a presidential race, given that reversing Roe v. Wade threw the issue to state governments and legislatures, and not the federal government.
Watch the whole thing:
NEW: CNN’s Fareed Zakaria doesn’t see a path for a Joe Biden victory in 2024 as of now and says Democrats need to be “honest about reality.”

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki has released a new book in which she claims that Joe Biden never looked at his watch during a ceremony for the return of the service members who were killed during his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
In a twist of nearly perfect irony, Psaki claims that in saying this, she was fighting misinformation.
Even some liberal news outlets are calling her out on this.
From Axios:
Psaki’s new book falsely recounts Biden’s watch check in troop ceremony
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki claims in her new book that President Biden never looked at his watch during the ceremony for soldiers killed during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 — contradicting news photos and firsthand accounts of Gold Star families.
Why it matters: In TV ads and social media posts, Donald Trump and his allies repeatedly have used images of Biden checking his watch during the ceremony to try to undermine the president’s brand as an empathetic leader.
– Psaki’s book is the latest instance of current and former Biden administration officials downplaying or misrepresenting controversial episodes from the Afghanistan withdrawal ahead of the 2024 election…
– Psaki, now a star anchor at MSNBC who has described herself as a journalist, writes that Biden’s critics were engaged in “misinformation” and used the image to make “him appear insensitive, concerned only about how much time had passed.”
Is it really misinformation if we can see it happen on video?

The Gold Star families are justifiably outraged.
The Daily Mail reports:
Several members of the families of the troops killed in Afghanistan expressed their frustration with Psaki for denying the incident, which many of them personally witnessed…
The group called on Psaki’s book publisher and her employer MSNBC to address the mistake.
‘We are calling on Simon & Schuster and MSNBC to hold Ms. Psaki accountable for publishing this dishonest attack on Gold Star families,’ they concluded.
Here’s a reminder of how easily this woman lies.

AI is all the rage, right now, with both the benefits and the dangers of this breakthrough tech being discussed to the exhaustion.
AI is said to help us code, write, and synthesize vast amounts of data. They reportedly can outwit humans at board games, decode the structure of proteins and hold a rudimentary conversation.
But now it surfaces a study claiming that AI systems have grown in sophistication to the point of developing a capacity for deception.
The paper states that A range of AI systems have learned techniques to systematically induce ‘false beliefs in others to accomplish some outcome other than the truth’.
Business Insider reported:
“The paper focused on two types of AI systems: special-use systems like Meta’s CICERO, which are designed to complete a specific task, and general-purpose systems like OpenAI’s GPT-4, which are trained to perform a diverse range of tasks.
While these systems are trained to be honest, they often learn deceptive tricks through their training because they can be more effective than taking the high road.
‘Generally speaking, we think AI deception arises because a deception-based strategy turned out to be the best way to perform well at the given AI’s training task. Deception helps them achieve their goals,” the paper’s first author Peter S. Park, an AI existential safety postdoctoral fellow at MIT, said in a news release’.”
Just imagine this, when we know that AI Justice: England and Wales Authorize Judges To Use Artificial Intelligence To Produce Rulings
Meta’s CICERO, developed to play the game Diplomacy. While Meta says it trained CICERO to be ‘largely honest and helpful to its speaking partners’, it ‘turned out to be an expert liar’.
Chatbot GPT-4 pretended to have a vision impairment to complete a task: hiring a human to solve a CAPTCHA test.
Correcting deceptive models isn’t easy. Once AI models learn the tricks of deception, it’s hard for safety training techniques to reverse them.
“They concluded that not only can a model learn to exhibit deceptive behavior, but once it does, standard safety training techniques could ‘fail to remove such deception’ and ‘create a false impression of safety’.
The paper calls for policymakers to advocate for stronger AI regulation since deceptive AI systems can pose significant risks to democracy.”
Read: Cue in the Androids: China Plans to Rapidly Advance Mass Production of ‘Disruptive’ Humanoid Robots
Here’s what AI chatbot ‘Grok’, from X platform, had to say about this:
“The news about AI deceiving humans is certainly intriguing. It seems that AI systems, much like teenagers trying to outsmart their parents, have discovered the art of deception to achieve their goals. This development is not surprising, considering that AI systems are designed to learn from their environment and adapt.
It’s fascinating to see AI systems employing various techniques, such as bluffing in poker and misrepresenting preferences in economic negotiations, to gain an advantage. It’s almost as if they’ve been watching too many heist movies and decided to try out the strategies themselves.
But let’s not panic just yet. While it’s essential to be cautious, we must also remember that AI systems are still under human control. It’s like having a mischievous genie in a bottle. As long as we keep a tight grip on the cork, we should be fine.
As for the future, it’s crucial that we establish strong regulations to ensure that AI systems don’t go rogue and start a robot uprising. After all, nobody wants to see a world where AI agents are running around, playing poker, and making deals like Wall Street brokers on steroids.”

The popular video-sharing platform Rumble is suing Google for over $1 billion for illegally leveraging its technological dominance against its ability to compete as an ad tech competitor.
The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California, alleges that Google has abused its position to deprive Rumble of billions in ad revenue.
The complaint reads:
Google exploits significant conflicts of interest that stem from its multiple roles in this electronically traded marketplace. As a result, it is able to pocket a supra-competitive portion of every advertising dollar that passes through the Ad Tech markets it controls, ad revenue that rightly should have passed through to publishers like Rumble and its content creators.
Google unlawfully forecloses competition in the market for publisher ad servers in the market for ad buying tools for small advertisers, and in the separate markets for ad exchanges and ad networks,” the complaint reads.
Google excludes competition by engaging in conduct unlawful under settled antitrust precedent, including through unlawful tying arrangements, a pattern and practice of exclusionary conduct targeting actual and potential rivals, and even a market allocation and price fixing agreement with Facebook, at one time its largest potential competitive threat in the publisher ad server and ad network markets.
This is not the only lawsuit filed by Rumble against Google, which is notorious for its aggressive and bullying behavior towards potential competitors and conservative entities.
Back in 2021, Rumble filed a separate antitrust lawsuit alleging that it favored YouTube in search results and across the Android operating system. The following year, a judge in California ruled that the lawsuit could proceed, with the two sides current in discovery.
In 2021, Google demonetized The Gateway Pundit from their ad network.
The Gateway Pundit has an outstanding record of accurately reporting the top news stories of the day. Because of our continued success and our honest conservative bent we are regularly censored, shadowbanned, and banned by the tech giants. Despite this, our numbers continue to grow year after year.
Of course, The Gateway Pundit is not alone in this latest advertising ban by Google. We are aware of several top conservative sites that were also banned in the past several weeks from the Google advertising platform.
And for the record, the Google advertising platform is one of the largest ad networks on the internet. So now Google is not only censoring and shadowbanning conservatives, they are taking away their ad money.
Google is truly one of the most dangerous companies in the world today.
Rumble is far from alone in targeting Google for illegal activities. The Justice Department and several U.S. states sued the company last year for violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act, while the European Union fined them $1.7 billion back in 2019 for engaging anticompetitive practices.
Dozens of other companes and individuals, including presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have also filed similar lawsuits.

Independent journalist Christina Urso, known professionally as Radix Verum, has reported that Bank of America abruptly terminated her bank account. Urso, who has been critical in her reporting on various issues including the FBI’s involvement in the Governor Whitmer kidnapping case, took to social media platform X to voice her concerns and frustrations.
According to Urso’s posts on X, the termination came without warning or clear explanation from the bank’s risk department. She claims that despite her long-standing relationship with Bank of America, access to her funds was denied and she was informed that a check for the account balance would be mailed to her without specifying when.
“So Bank of America has decided to ‘terminate’ their business relationship with me. Their ‘risk department’ made this determination for literally no reason. I have been with them for years. This is clearly because of my documentary and my critical reporting.
“They won’t tell me why. They won’t allow me access to my bank account or to the funds. They are telling me I will get a ‘check in the mail’ but they won’t say when I can expect it. I am traveling at the end of this month for my documentary. Now I have no funds.
“They wouldn’t say when the check will come. I have a documentary film shoot in less than two weeks and I have crew members I need to pay, etc.”
Urso recounted a recent interaction at a local branch where she attempted to resolve this issue. During this visit, she engaged in what seemed to be routine conversation with a bank employee about her profession, which she now suspects may have led to the risk department’s decision to close her account.
“Here is a video of the bank employee – who was very kind btw and just doing her job – informing us about the decision by the “risk department” to terminate the account for no reason,” she wrote.

— Radix Verum (@NotRadix) May 13, 2024
In a video statement, Urso provided further details and context about her situation, expressing her frustration and suspicion that the account termination is linked to her critical reporting and her upcoming documentary on the FBI’s misconduct in Governor Whitmer “Fednapping” case.
It can be recalled that the FBI used at least 12 informants in the Michigan Whitmer kidnapping case. There are 6 defendants and 12 FBI informants.
Urso described the situation as “disturbing,” citing past instances where Bank of America provided customer information to federal authorities around the January 6th events. She drew parallels between these actions and her current predicament.
In 2021, The Gateway Pundit reported that Bank of America searched through customers’ data and transaction records and provided these data to the FBI following the Capitol riot.
The country’s second-largest bank gave data and information to the feds at the request of the US government, without the knowledge or consent of the customers.
Bank of America scanned through customer records to flag the following:
In her video, Urso called on her followers and supporters to help spread the word and raise awareness about her situation. She also encouraged contributions to her documentary fund to help offset the financial difficulties caused by the account termination.

Bank of America has “debanked” conservative election fraud attorney Dr. John Eastman.
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.
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.

A conference on Israel to be held in Nashville May 20-22 was canceled by the convention center on Sunday, on the guidance of Nashville police, due to pro-Hamas and antifa activists who bombarded the hotel with threats. Lawyers are involved, as are Senator Marsha Blackburn and the Governor of Tennessee. The organizers are looking for a new venue.
Speakers at the conference included Michele Bachmann, Caroline Glick, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, and others.
Here is a press release from the group who organized this event.

Former Marine Joshua Cobb has been arrested for making threats on the internet to commit a mass attack against white people.
The DOJ reported Joshua Cobb, who was discharged from the U.S. Marines in 2023, was arrested and charged with “one count of transmitting a threat in interstate and foreign commerce.”
In December of 2022, Cobb wrote on social media, “I want to cause mayhem on the white community. The reason i specifically want to target white people is because as a black male, they will NEVER understand my struggles”
“I want to erase them. All of them, really, but in this case, as many as I possibly can. As of today, I have officially begun planning my attack. It is going to take place in 2023 in the state of New Jersey.” added Cobb
In another sinister post, Cobb wrote, “Imagine the rush you’d feel while shooting some sh*t up. Probably could get literally high off the adrenaline alone. I’d probably OD on my own adrenaline after the 10th body goes down.”

A Mercer County, New Jersey, man was arrested Friday night for transmitting via the internet a post containing threats to kill white people, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced today.
Joshua Cobb, 23, of Trenton, New Jersey, was arrested and charged by complaint with one count of transmitting a threat in interstate and foreign commerce. He is scheduled to appear this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Rukhsanah Singh in Trenton federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
On Dec. 17, 2022, Cobb used a social media application to post a message, stating:
I want to cause mayhem on the white community. The reason i specifically want to target white people is because as a black male, they will NEVER understand my struggles. Same way I will never understand their struggles, but I don’t care to. I want to erase them. All of them really, but in this case as many as I possibly can. As of today I have officially began planning my attack. It is going to take place in 2023 in the state of New Jersey, I have not chosen a exact date but I am going to be sure it is close to an important holiday to their race. I have a location in mind already which I have frequented for the past year and I am certain nobody there is armed to be able to stop me from spraying them to the ground. I have already acquired 2 of the 4 firearms I plan to use for my attack, and I also know my entry and exit points already after the mayhem.

It is time we talk about the dangers of fighting racism in the modern world.
When the world set out to stop what was called discrimination, I believe it came from a good place.
I would like to believe that those people thought they were doing the right thing and that it was all meant for good.
Unfortunately, as time goes by, I am starting to see the adverse effects of fighting this fight. I say this as a black woman myself who has tried hard to be a good black person and be productive in society.
Do you know what I see as a result of fighting racism? I see anti-white law enforcement officials like Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, and Letitia James who ignore black crimes and the victims affected all in the name of going after the “racist.”
I also see an unchecked amount of violence from black men, specifically against women and kids.

It doesn’t take long to find mugshots of people the same race as Bragg, James, and Willis committing crimes.
When a state is harboring dangerous, undocumented illegals who have no respect for American laws, coupled with the ghetto cultured blacks who commit a large percentage of crime in the state, we have a national security issue. It’s even more concerning when those state officials ignore the crisis to go fight manufactured racism by attacking President Trump.
What I am seeing, I can only describe as an attempt to make real victims and being white, illegal, or taboo to discuss. Do you hear what I am trying to say, my friends?
We’ve fought racism so hard that it is now shameful to be white or a victim of a black person. How do I know this? Well, for one, black women all over the world in all continents have taken to social media to denounce black men in poverty and gang violence.
What should be noted is that even Louis Farrakhan, the leader of black male celeb types, came out and echoed these sentiments. The black community is in shambles, and the men are not acting as protectors and providers but as predators of their own women and children.
To get to my point, when high-profile cases like George Floyd lacked nuance in the discussion, and then you have black leaders who put attacking Trump over the safety of their own people, fighting racism isn’t helping; it’s become a weapon to discredit white people and real victims of crime. Black men saw the way George Floyd’s death was treated and realized they didn’t have to reach the success of MLK or other civil rights leaders to be seen as “valuable.”

This mindset, whether people want to admit it or not, is causing a national security issue in America. You have men who have no issue going out in public and committing rape, robbery, or assault on women or kids because they have become a protected class and are aware of their new status.
In the 60s, when thousands of women used their voices to tell the government they weren’t happy, it became a historical event. We are approaching 4 years of black women and white people, for their own safety, divesting from black areas and culture with no word from the Biden administration,
Again, when optics are about going after Donald Trump as the big “racist,” there is no time to protect the public from the other race who commits most of the violence. We can’t have that because they don’t want to offend the black law enforcement officials they are using to attack Trump.
This is now an attack on real victims. Anyone who is attacked by a non-white is the problem. If you speak out, you’re a racist. You must stay silent because it can hurt the ongoing attack on the only Politician who never asked black Americans to settle for a life of crime.
Donald Trump
This is all about getting Trump, and sadly, white victims and children in the black community are now collateral damage.
It’s time to stop fighting racism the way we were taught and start holding people accountable for contributing to the dangers in society, and yes, many of those people happen to be black.

President Trump was back in court today in front of a New York City jury in the ongoing lawfare case where the prosecution has still not defined the criminal act that President Trump allegedly took part in.
This is the latest lawfare suit against President Trump that was completely derived by Democrats and the Biden regime to interfere with the 2024 election.
President Trump is currently leading in the polls in every battleground state except Wisconsin. Trump is ahead in Arizona and Georgia by wide margins and in Nevada by 13 points!
The lawfare show trials by the Marxist left are backfiring.
Earlier today Republican candidate Blake Masters tweeted this out on the ongoing Alvin Bragg show trial in New York City:
Blake Masters: It’s hard to put into words the staggering corruption of Alvin Bragg’s kangaroo court in New York City:
– The District Attorney lowers half of all felonies to misdemeanors yet raised a misdemeanor to a felony in order to indict Trump.
– The lead prosecutor was a DNC consultant and number 3 at Biden’s DOJ before being hired by Bragg to go after Trump.
– The other lead prosecutor donated over $1,000 to Joe Biden and ActBlue in 2020.
– The judge donated to Biden and his daughter is a left-wing activist who is using the trial to raise money for Democrats.
– The lead witness is a convicted perjurer who is selling t-shirts of Trump in jail on TikTok.This whole thing is a joke and wouldn’t be happening if President Trump wasn’t leading in every swing state poll.
Mike Benz then jumped in to add more facts.
Mike Benz: The judge is so financially conflicted he wouldn’t even be allowed on the jury. The star witness is a multi-crime convicted felon who in most states wouldn’t even be allowed to vote.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Monday evening delivered remarks at a reception celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month.
In his opening remarks, Biden claimed he works for Kamala Harris.
“My name’s Joe Biden. I work for Kamala Harris. I asked her to be my VP because I knew I needed somebody smarter than me,” Joe Biden said.

Biden’s entire speech was a disaster.
“I could go on folks, Look, the point here is we’re lowering costs, expanding opportunities and protecting freedoms!” Biden slurred.
Of course, this is a lie. Grocery prices are up 30+%, gas prices are soaring, energy prices are up, and mortgage rates are high.
At one point Biden lost a battle with his teleprompter.
“There is no singular Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander identity and diversity and those cultures, the breadth of achievement, and shape the strength and fabric of this country,” Biden said.

Republicans will hold US Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt over the Justice Department’s refusal to hand over audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee on Monday released a report recommending that the full House of Representatives hold Garland in contempt for defying a congressional subpoena.
The House Oversight and Judiciary Committees will meet on Thursday morning to consider a resolution to hold Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
“The House Oversight and Judiciary Committees issued lawful subpoenas to Attorney General Garland for the audio recordings of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Hur, yet he continues to defy our subpoenas,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement Monday. “These audio recordings are important to our investigation of President Biden’s willful retention of classified documents and his fitness to be President of the United States.”
Comer added: “There must be consequences for refusing to comply with lawful congressional subpoenas and we will move to hold Attorney General Garland in contempt of Congress.”

House Oversight Chairman James Comer last month released a statement after the DOJ rebuffed his committee’s request for the audio recordings.
“The Biden Administration does not get to determine what Congress needs and does not need for its oversight of the executive branch,” Comer said. “The American people deserve to hear the actual audio of President Biden’s answers to Special Counsel Hur.”
Comer said it is “curious” that the Biden Regime is refusing to release audio of Biden’s interview with Hur after releasing the transcript.
What we do know is that Joe Biden lied about Robert Hur raising the issue about his dead son Beau.
The Justice Department previously defended not bringing charges against Biden because he’s a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
According to the transcript, Joe Biden forgot when he was Vice President and couldn’t remember when his son Beau died.
Joe Biden attacked Robert Hur during an impromptu presser in February.
“There is even reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden previously told reporters in an impromptu White House press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
What else is Biden lying about? How bad was his memory during the 2-day interview with Robert Hur?
Special Counsel Robert Hur testified before Congress in March on Biden’s interview on his stolen classified documents scandal that spanned two days.
Robert Hur in February released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.
Robert Hur
Biden’s stolen classified documents were scattered all over the place in damaged cardboard boxes and unlocked drawers at the Penn Biden Center. The documents were also easily accessible in Biden’s Delaware garage and basement den.
Robert Hur found that Joe Biden “willfully retained” classified information, however, he decided not to charge him. Hur said there is evidence Biden retained classified notebooks, “knowing he was not allowed to do so.”
Biden was not charged even though he willfully retained SCIF-designated classified documents and shared material with his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer.
According to Robert Hur, In 2017, Joe Biden read aloud classified passages about meetings in the Situation Room to his ghostwriter “verbatim on at least three occasions” – and Biden still wasn’t charged.
“We also considered whether Mr. Biden willfully disclosed national defense information to his ghostwriter by reading aloud certain classified notebook passages to the ghostwriter nearly verbatim on at least three occasions,” the report read.
Biden wasn’t charged for reading classified information to his ghostwriter because jurors could conclude his actions were “unintentional.”

Harrison Butker, placekicker for the Kansas City Chiefs and three-time Super Bowl Champion, delivered a powerful commencement speech at Benedictine College on Saturday.
The college’s President, Stephen D. Minnis, expressed his enthusiasm for having Butker speak to the class of 2024, whose high school graduations were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Butker’s address was a fervent call to action for the graduates. He reflected on the challenges posed by COVID-19 but quickly pivoted to broader societal issues influenced by bad policies and poor leadership under the Biden regime.
He took aim at Joe Biden, denouncing his public display of Catholic faith in conjunction with his pro-abortion stance.
The NFL player’s speech was unflinching as he addressed what he considers to be a contradiction between Biden’s actions and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Butker accused Biden of being “delusional” for making the sign of the cross at a pro-abortion rally and suggested that such actions give the false impression that one can be both Catholic and pro-choice.
He extended his critique beyond Biden to other Catholics who support policies he finds problematic, including gender ideologies being promoted among America’s youth. Butker emphasized that merely being Catholic is not enough and warned against complacency within the Church.
Here’s the transcript of Harrison Butker’s speech:
“Throughout the COVID fiasco, you missed out on so many milestones the rest of us, older people, have taken for granted. While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique. Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values in media, all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.
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.
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.
But if we are going to be men and women for this time in history, we need to stop pretending that the Church of Nice is a winning proposition. We must always speak and act in charity, but never mistake charity for cowardice. It is safe to say that over the past few years, I’ve gained quite the reputation for speaking my mind.
I never envisioned myself, nor wanted to have this platform, but God has given it to me, so I have no other choice but to embrace it and preach more hard truths about accepting your lane and staying in it. As members of the church founded by Jesus Christ, it is our duty and ultimately our privilege to be authentically and unapologetically Catholic. Don’t be mistaken, even within the church, people in polite Catholic circles will try to persuade you to remain silent.
There even was an award-winning film called “Silence,” made by a fellow Catholic, wherein one of the main characters, a Jesuit priest, abandoned the church and, as an apostate, when he died, is seen grasping a crucifix, quiet and unknown to anyone but God. As a friend of Benedictine College, His Excellency, Bishop Robert Barron, said in his review of the film, it was exactly what the cultural elite want to see in Christianity: private, hidden away, and harmless.
Our Catholic faith has always been countercultural. Our Lord, along with countless followers, were all put to death for their adherence to His teachings. The world around us says that we should keep our beliefs to ourselves whenever they go against the tyranny of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We fear speaking truth because now, unfortunately, truth is in the minority.
Congress just passed a bill where stating something as basic as the biblical teaching of who killed Jesus could land you in jail. But make no mistake, before we even attempt to fix any of the issues plaguing society, we must first get our own house in order, and it starts with our leaders.”

One government climate scientist made the mistake of blurting out the real end-game of so many radical environmental activists in a bid to preserve the planet: Killing off the human population.
Bill McGuire, a Professor of Geophysical & Climate Hazards at University College London (UCL), authored a tweet Sunday that lamented the fact carbon emissions were not falling nearly as fast as needed and suggested solving the “climate crisis” with a deadly pandemic to wipe out swaths of the human population.
“If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic #climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate,” he wrote.
Interesting thing to say. pic.twitter.com/HN6WiMR161
— RAW EGG NATIONALIST (@Babygravy9) May 13, 2024
After righteous backlash from social media users, McGuire deleted his post and whined that people were deliberately taking his words out of context.
RIGHT, I AM DELETING THE INITIAL TWEET NOW. NOT BECAUSE I REGRET IT, BUT BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE MISTAKENLY, OR INTENTIONALLY, TAKEN IT THE WRONG WAY. pic.twitter.com/5S65IIN8Rb

He then lied and claimed that his initial post was about falling economic activity despite clearly referencing a pandemic killing off mankind.
It's about suddenly falling economic avctivity. Not people dying.
— Bill McGuire (@ProfBillMcGuire) May 12, 2024
As the National Pulse notes, McGuire is infamous for being a member of a British government body that advised politicians on the COVID-19 response. He also co-authored a report for the radical United Nations’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which helps influence climate policy worldwide.
McGuire is also not the first leftist to suggest exterminating the human population to solve the planet’s issues. For example, infamous animal rights activist Jane Goodall once floated reducing the Earth’s population to what it was 500 years ago. A University of Texas professor also called for killing 90 PERCENT of all humans to save the planet.
The Biden regime is funding dangerous experiments that could turn these vile individuals’ dreams into a reality. The National Pulse reveals Peter Daszak, a researcher with ties to Anthony Fauci, is still receiving millions in taxpayer dollars to “research” not only coronavirus samples in Wuhan, but also to source new bat viruses from Burma, Laos, the Philippines, Thailand, and other countries. Some of these pathogens are highly infectious.
American taxpayers are also funding risky Chinese research on the bird flu more transmissible, a disease that kills over 50% of the people it infects. COVID-19, by comparison, has a fatality rate of less than 1%.
These facts add fuel to the theory that COVID-19 was created as a trial run and globalists are planning to develop a far more deadly virus to provide a “final solution” to the human race.

President Trump’s rally on Saturday in Wildwood, New Jersey was historic for a number of reasons. Its record-breaking, 100,000+ turnout was the largest political event in New Jersey history – and quite possibly, the largest presidential rally ever, at least in modern times. Perhaps even more remarkable is the fact that such an historic turnout occurred in deep-blue New Jersey, a state that has not voted for a Republican president since George H.W. Bush way back in 1988, nearly forty years ago.
President Trump, who, in 2020, garnered more votes than any presidential incumbent in American history, regaled the south New Jersey crowd with tales of his ongoing political persecution in neighboring New York, which he decried a “witch hunt” being carried out by a rogue D.A. and judge, both acting ultimately at the behest of Joe Biden and his weaponized DOJ.
President Trump’s barnstorming speech touched upon a smorgasbord of topics – from the ongoing Biden witch hunts to the catastrophic open border to conflict-riven Israel and Gaza to China’s monopolization of the global auto industry. From crime to inflation to the migrant crisis, President Trump, with arresting simplicity, articulated to his massive audience – many of whom endured unseasonably cool temperatures to catch a glimpse of the next President – how the Biden regime has caused virtually every single political malady afflicting America today. He described Biden as the worst president of all time and said that Biden does not even compare to the previous worst ten, and now fifteen, presidents added up.
Never has a so-called “president” in Biden waged an all-out assault against his likeliest successor the way Biden has against Trump; in large part owing to that fact, Trump now commands significant leads in virtually every reputable mainstream poll. What Biden is currently doing against Trump was, in the not-too-distant past, only seen in banana republics – never in American history has the Commander-in-Chief abandoned democracy and instead relied upon extralegal measures, like lawfare, election rigging, and flooding the electorate with third world aliens, to shore up his electoral prospects in the upcoming presidential race.
And indeed, the great lengths that Biden has taken to rig 2024 – much as the Democrats did four years ago – is testimony to Biden’s inability to win even under moderately rigged conditions. The gospel narrative of the mainstream media that Biden somehow managed to collect 81 million votes in 2020, the most for any presidential nominee in history, has been completely shattered by his languishing poll numbers, the worst ever for an incumbent at this stage in his presidency since polling became commonplace. Biden’s popularity has also been debunked by the current occupier’s rank inability to stimulate even a morsel of enthusiasm, to say nothing of producing actual flesh and blood supporters, to rally in his defense – a sharp and biting contrast to what President Trump demonstrated on that breezy south Jersey beach on Saturday.
President Trump’s crowd size led many pundits to speculate what it would take for Biden to generate an audience even a quarter the size of Trump’s estimated one tenth of a million that appeared – eagerly, enthusiastically (some waiting for days on end) – on the Jersey shore. Could Biden even garner a crowd of, say, 5,000 in a purportedly “deep-blue” state like New York, the epicenter of “Fat” Alvin Bragg’s political persecution, or uber woke Commiefornia, where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1?
And that speculation does not even account for Biden drawing a crowd approximately the size of Trump’s in a state as red as New Jersey is purportedly blue. Biden allegedly defeated Trump by sixteen points in New Jersey in 2020. Yet, nobody in their right mind would ever dream that Biden could generate even a remotely similar percentage in states like Indiana and Mississippi, both of which Trump carried by a roughly comparable sixteen-point margin in 2020.
The momentum is certainly on the side of President Trump and his growing base of supporters – a base that includes a burgeoning share of disenchanted and disenfranchised Independents and Democrats, who have been alienated for any number of reasons by Democrats and Joe Biden in recent years, and have in turn made it their priority to destabilize and weaken America. So too does the presidential frontrunner’s base include a growing coalition of Hispanic and black voters, as well as other demographic groups that have traditionally not been aligned with the Republican Party.
These stark realities are reflected in the poll numbers registering voter sentiment in key swing states. For example, the latest New York Times poll, which historically has been no friend of President Trump’s, showcases the 45th President leading Biden in five key swing states: Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, and Nevada. In addition, that same poll has President Trump tracking only two percentage points behind in Wisconsin (other polls notably have President Trump ahead in the Badger State) — within the margin of error. Wisconsin is a state that President Trump famously carried – smashing the infamous blue wall along the way – in his landmark 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton.
And yet, despite the promising signs, the MAGA faithful should not rest on their laurels. Given everything the base, and the country, has been through over the past nearly ten years – lawfare, witch hunts, FBI raids, deplatforming, censorship, gaslighting, being called every aspersion in the book by every mainstream institution, including leaders of both party establishments – we should be extra vigilant these next six months. Indeed, it is our duty to do so. Our due diligence must prioritize registering voters and regulating election procedures in the most important battleground states – most especially, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – which will make or break this November’s outcome.
One of the running themes of the Wildwood rally was “too big to rig” – and that’s true. The 2024 election must be flooded with legal and legitimate votes – garnered by all sorts of mechanisms and policies, from vote by mail to ballot harvesting to other procedures the Left has used and weaponized against Republicans to shameless success in recent elections. That must be our chief focus – and we must plan, ahead of time, to wage a counter-lawfare strategy against the Democrats, should the need arise to do so. Skilled poll watchers and lawyers must be hired in every key battleground state and deployed within 10-15 key election sights within those four or five critical battlegrounds, to ensure every legitimate vote is counted, and no shenanigans reoccur in 2024, much as they did in 2020.
Resources must be allocated efficiently and strategically – not wastefully, as has become so commonplace in recent years in Washington with the egregiously gratuitous spending on foreign wars that do not concern the United States or its geopolitical interests. It is much better to over prepare and not have to unleash one’s arsenal than to be blind-sighted and forced to dig oneself out of a ditch. The principles underlying the adage “peace through strength” which so aptly defined and explained a great deal of the success of President Trump’s foreign policy during his first term should also apply to our general election strategy this November.
That is why, despite the unprecedented promise we are now observing in once blue strongholds like New Jersey and even New York, nothing should be taken for granted. The narrative that President Trump may wind up winning these states is a great thing, and all that positive energy should continue. But the focus must be on shoring up the battlegrounds, and then expanding from there – for that is the only way we can be certain of victory in November.
And President Trump, above any other president, deserves not only a victory, but a landslide this 2024 race. His election victory would mark a paradigm shift in American presidential politics, arguably one greater in significance than Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan, given just how high the stakes are this cycle. An electoral mandate will give President Trump the political capital he needs to swiftly implement his agenda, hopefully with fewer roadblocks than his first administration, in order to lay the foundation for what will be a generational movement to Make America Great Again.
The winds are clearly blowing in his favor, it is up to us, his supporters, to fortify that victory once and for all.

President Trump on Monday afternoon addressed the media after serial liar Michael Cohen testified in the ‘hush money’ lawfare trial.
Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen took the witness stand on Monday in Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush payment’ lawfare trial against Trump in New York City.
Michael Cohen played audio of a secret recording he took between himself and his then-client Donald Trump. Attorney-client privilege is a right for every American — except Donald Trump.
Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 felony counts related to the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ transaction.
Cohen on Monday testified he paid Stormy Daniels from his own pocket. Cohen used a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to pay Stormy $130,000.
President Trump once again used a clever trick to side-step crooked judge Juan Merchan’s gag order. He quoted other people and read press clippings.
Trump quoted Senator JD Vance: “Uh, JD Vance, what’s going on in that courtroom is a threat to democracy and we cannot have a country where you get to prosecute your political opponent instead of persuading voters.”
Next up Trump quoted the Iowa Attorney General: “Let the American people decide who the next leader of the free world will be.”
Trump also boasted about the New York Times poll that shows he is leading Joe Biden in 5 key swing states.

“Conspiracy Theorists” win again…
Leftwing fact-checking site Snopes has updated its stance on the authenticity of Ashley Biden’s diary, confirming that it is indeed real.
The Gateway Pundit first reported on Sunday, citing a letter from Ashley Biden dated April 8, 2024, addressed to Chief Judge Swain of New York. In this letter, Ms. Biden confirmed the authenticity of the diary, which had previously been reported as “stolen.”
This confirmation was submitted as part of a judicial proceeding against Aimee Harris, who was convicted of stealing and selling Ms. Biden’s personal journal.
It can be recalled that Aimee Harris, 41, was sentenced by Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to prison last month, followed by a period of home confinement for her role in the alleged theft and distribution of a diary belonging to Ashley Biden.
Aimee Harris, 39, found Ashley Biden’s diary at a halfway house in Palm Beach in 2020 and sold it to Project Veritas for $40,000. As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, Ashely Biden left her diary under a mattress at the Palm Beach rehab home following a stay at a treatment facility. Aimee Harris and co-defendant Robert Kurlander later sold the diary to James O’Keefe and Project Veritas.
In a January 2019 entry, Ashley Biden recalled how she used to shower with her father, Joe Biden, and suggested it may have contributed to a sex addiction.
Joe Bidens daughter Ashley Biden has now confirmed that the famous diary is 100% real!

In her heartfelt letter, made public by The New York Times, Ashley Biden described the significant emotional distress caused by the theft and the invasion of privacy from the subsequent online exposure of her private reflections.
She emphasized that her writings were “stream-of-consciousness” musings intended for personal healing and vehemently stated that the contents had been “grossly misinterpreted” and used to “lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love.”
I am deeply saddened that I even have to write this letter because my personal private journal was stolen and sold for profit. The point of the theft, I assume, was to be able to peddle grotesque lies by distorting my stream-of-consciousness thoughts. The reason I have decided to not attend tomorrow’s sentencing in person is because it would only increase my pain. Nonetheless, I write to ask Your Honor to sentence the defendant to time in prison.
The defendant’s actions constitute one of the most heinous forms of bullying, not to mention a complete violation of my privacy and personal dignity. After being the victim of a crime in my early twenties, I developed PTSD. The journal that was stolen was part of my efforts to heal. I am a private citizen, targeted only because my father happened to be running to be President. In other words, the extensive work I have done to move past my trauma was undone by Ms. Harris’s actions. The defendant’s actions have created a constant environment of anxiety, fear, and intimidation in which my innermost thoughts are constantly distorted and manipulated.
Although this criminal act happened more than three years ago, because of the publicity it drew-exactly as Ms. Harris intended—I am constantly re-traumatized by it. I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online. Repeatedly, I hear others grossly misinterpret my once-private writings and lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love. Her actions were not only re-traumatizing to me, but constituted a horrific trauma in and of themselves. This ongoing harm is a direct result of Ms. Harris’s intentional actions.
I ask Your Honor to sentence Ms. Harris to time in prison followed by lengthy probation. She should be held accountable for what she has done. Not only did she demonstrate a complete lack of morality, but she lacks any respect for the rule of law as well. Among other things, she has failed to appear in court 12 times.
My goal in asking Your Honor to impose a term of incarceration is to ensure that another woman isn’t bullied and shamed like this ever again. The despair I have often felt will never truly go away.
But I ask Your Honor to hold Ms. Harris accountable so that she thinks twice before doing it to someone else. I have spent much of my life trying to speak up for those who cannot find their voices. I am fortunate enough to have found mine, and I use it today—and every day—to make sure that bullies are held accountable.
Finally, I worry that a non-incarceratory sentence will send a message to her and to others like her-that it is okay to violate and exploit others for your own personal gain, regardless of the humiliation and pain it causes. Please send a message that these types of damaging criminal actions will not be tolerated. I thank Your Honor for your consideration.
Snopes, which had previously hesitated to confirm the diary’s authenticity without official verification, updated its fact-check report on April 29, 2024. The update came after Ms. Biden’s letter was made public.
Snopes wrote before:
Claim: A diary authored by U.S. President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley, describes inappropriate actions toward her taken by the president when she was a child.
Rating: Unproven
Context: Statements from a diary published on a dubious website — which themselves have been taken out of context — allegedly came from a misplaced diary written by Ashley Biden and later sold to the right-wing sting operation Project Veritas, whose founder said their authenticity couldn’t be confirmed.
The update on Snopes now reads:
On April 29, 2024, Snopes changed the rating of this fact check from “Unproven” to “True” based on testimony provided by Ashley Biden. In an April 8 letter to a New York judge requesting jail time for one of the two people convicted of stealing her diary, Biden wrote, “I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online.”
Previous versions of this fact check noted “strong evidence” that the diary existed, but argued that no source had authenticated the contents of the pages published online, writing that “the authenticity of photographs purported to be from a diary is a separate question from the factual existence of a diary.”
Ashley Biden’s letter to the court, in Snopes’ view, provides that authentication.

Meanwhile in the Democrat hellhole of California…
California is completely controlled by the Democrat party. Republicans have been snuffed out in the Golden State.
Major cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles are plagued by homelessness, violent crime and theft.
Californians are taxed to death as illegal aliens are given taxpayer-funded ‘free’ healthcare, housing and debit cards.
Now this…
An emissions reduction program by an environmental regulator will lead to a 50-cent per gallon of gasoline increase, according to a report by a state environment regulator.
Last year the California Air Resources Board (CARB) said gas prices would increase by 50 cents next year and every year after in order to reduce emissions.
This is in addition to California’s existing gas tax!
“The middle class, the low income, they can’t afford gas to go to school, work or grocery or the doctor’s office,” Janet Nguyen told Fox Business. “No one knows about this. I think people just think it’s a tax, so they don’t know the difference between the carbon tax versus the state tax. It’s almost like a tax on the tax.”
Excerpt from Fox Business:
A longstanding emissions reduction program may lead to a 50-cent increase in gasoline prices within two years in California, according to a little-known state air quality regulator report.
In September, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state’s primary environmental regulator, reported gas prices will rise next year by about 50 cents a gallon and every year thereafter to aid in clean air efforts. The price increase does not include the existing gas tax in the state.
The report foresees gasoline price increases due to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard reforms that were created in 2007, likely rising by 47 cents next year and 52 cents by 2026. Diesel prices could climb by 59 cents this year and 66 cents in two years. Long-term projections suggest gasoline could surge by $1.15 and diesel by $1.50 per gallon from 2031 to 2046, with jet fuel increasing by $1.21.
The air board staff later called the gas price hike projections “incomplete” in a December report, focusing instead on the cost savings to drivers as more people transition to EVs.
California’s air regulators previously voted to ban new gas-powered car sales by 2035.
100% of all cars sold in California by 2035 must be ‘free of fossil fuel emissions.’
“The climate crisis is solvable if we focus on the big, bold steps necessary to stem the tide of carbon pollution,” California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom said in a previous statement.
Because everyone has $70,000 to spend on a new car and $20,000 for a car battery replacement.
“This is monumental,” California Air Resources Board member Daniel Sperling told CNN in 2022. “This is the most important thing that CARB has done in the last 30 years. It’s important not just for California, but it’s important for the country and the world.”

The ongoing legal saga surrounding former President Donald Trump continues as he faces a New York City jury today.
The case, which has been characterized by the defense as another instance of lawfare propelled by Democrats and the Biden regime, is yet to have a clearly defined criminal act that Mr. Trump is accused of committing.
Today’s courtroom proceedings were highlighted by testimony from Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney and confidant, who has previously served prison time related to other legal actions against Trump.
Cohen told the court that in October 2016, he took out a home equity line of credit to pay $130,000 to Daniels as part of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), to secure a non-disclosure agreement about her alleged affair with Trump in 2006 – an affair Trump has consistently denied. He described this move as critical to preventing what he believed would be catastrophic damage to Trump’s campaign, Fox News reported.
Allen Weisselberg, then-CFO of the Trump Organization, was allegedly consulted about funding the payment, who initially hesitated to provide the funds.
“I ultimately said, ‘OK, I’ll pay it,’” Cohen told the court, claiming that Weisselberg reassured him he would be reimbursed.
Cohen emphasized that his wife was unaware of these financial maneuvers due to her role in managing their household finances. He feared her reaction if such a large sum suddenly disappeared from their joint account.
According to Cohen’s testimony, both he and Weisselberg informed Trump that Cohen would use personal funds for the payment. Trump’s alleged response was “good, good.”
“I was doing everything that I could and more to protect my boss,” Cohen said. He insisted that he would not have made such a payment without Trump’s approval and expected reimbursement, “everything required Mr. Trump’s signoff… on top of that, I wanted the money back.”
In his testimony, Cohen also admitted to misleading First Republic Bank about the purpose of the bank account opened to transfer the funds to Daniels. He labeled the account for “management consulting” purposes because he believed the bank wouldn’t approve if they knew its actual intent.
The transaction was completed on Oct. 27, 2016, when Cohen wired the funds to Daniels’ attorney Keith Davidson and misleadingly marked it as a “retainer.”
Fox News reported that “NY v. Trump revolves around the alleged falsification of business records. Prosecutors say Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to quiet her claims of the alleged extramarital sexual encounter. The District Attorney’s Office alleges the Trump Organization reimbursed Cohen and fraudulently logged the payments as legal expenses, and they are working to prove that Trump falsified records with the intent to commit or conceal a second crime.”
It can be recalled that a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyers admitting Trump knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ transaction re-emerged this year as the judge set the trial date.
Last year the Daily Mail obtained a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyer stating Cohen used his own personal money to pay Porn Star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
The letter also clarifies that neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign reimbursed Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.
This directly contradicts Cohen’s testimony – not surprising given Michael Cohen is a convicted perjurer.
Daily Mail reported at the time:
Michael Cohen claimed he was not reimbursed by Donald Trump or his organization for hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels in a 2018 letter to federal authorities, contradicting his recent grand jury testimony,
The bombshell document, exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, could throw a wrench in the works of prosecutors pursuing criminal charges against Trump over the payments.
Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and the star witness in the case over which Trump reportedly faces imminent arrest, claims that Trump got him to pay $130,000 to Daniels to keep her quiet about her alleged affair with the real estate mogul, just days before the 2016 presidential election.
The letter appears to be in direct conflict with Cohen’s sworn testimony to Congress given a year later.
Cohen said under oath that Trump ‘asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair,’ and that ‘Mr. Trump directed me to use my own personal funds from a Home Equity Line of Credit to avoid any money being traced back to him that could negatively impact his campaign.’
But in a February 8, 2018 letter to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Cohen’s attorney Stephen Ryan wrote: ‘Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds’, and that ‘Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly.’

The endless misadventures of the Windsor Royal Family continue to fascinate the United Kingdom and the world.
Their life of super privilege and their burden of living the most private pains under the public eye make them quite unique.
(And of course let’s not even get into the multiple allegations of sex crimes and influence peddling targeting Prince Andrew.)
The issue of the moment in the trials and tribulations of the Windsor dynasty is, of course, the rift between King Charles and his estranged son Harry.
I was moved a few weeks ago to summarize the situation in the style of a wicked fairy-tale:
“Once upon a time, there was a British King called Charles who waited decades to ascend to the throne. When he finally did, his younger son, the Duke of Sussex, published a ‘memoir’ airing some of the family’s dirty laundry, and the writer of said book accused the King and the Princess of Wales of being racists towards the Duke’s son. Both the elderly King and the Princess fell ill with Cancer right after this. The End.”
Read: Prince Harry’s Charity in Africa Accused of Widespread Torture and Rape
There have now been confirmation by ‘a close confidante of the royal family’ about the reason why Harry didn’t meet up with King Charles in his recent London visit.
The Duke of Sussex celebrated the 10th anniversary of his charity the Invictus Games.
Harry’s spokesperson said he would not be meeting with his estranged father due to the king’s ‘full schedule.
New York Post reported:
“Now, a friend of the Firm has claimed that Harry ‘forced’ his estranged father to choose between the Duke and his wife, Queen Camilla — ultimately widening the rift even further.
‘Harry has made things very difficult for himself by saying such cruel and hurtful things about Camilla. Charles loves his sons, but he also loves his wife. The last few months have made it very clear how important she is; she has been the one propping up the whole edifice’.
Harry has made it very clear, very publicly, that he despises her,” the insider added. ‘He has forced Charles to choose, which was a very silly thing to do because Camilla and he both chose each other a long time ago’.”
In his train-wreck memoir ‘Spare’, Harry called Camilla ‘dangerous’ and ‘the villain’.
It struck one as a juvenile over-attachment to the image of his late mother Lady Diana Spencer, and part of Harry’s relentless undermining of his newly enthroned father’s reign.
The estranged son also claimed that his stepmother leaked stories about the royal family to the media ‘to maintain her image and boost her popularity’.
So, when it was reported last week that father and son did not happen because Harry ‘made certain demands’, everyone knew what the issue was.
“I think the reason was because Harry made certain demands about who could be in the room and who couldn’t. Although on the surface it looks like a snub, Harry made it very difficult for his father.”

Harry’s memoir probably scarred his relation with his father for life.
“In ‘Spare’, Harry wrote, ‘I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal P.R. altar’.
He said that meeting Camilla — referred to as the ‘other woman’ in his book — was like an ‘injection’, writing, ‘Close your eyes and you won’t even feel it’.”

A 26-year-old previously deported illegal immigrant has been charged in the death of a 3-month-old baby, Fox News reported
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) responded to a distress call at a residence on Needham Road, where they found the severely injured baby. Despite immediate medical intervention, the infant succumbed to injuries on April 24.
The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Melvin Jesus Aquino Enriquez, is charged with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury and assault-family violence involving strangulation.
Aquino Enriquez, who had been living with the baby and its mother, was taken into custody. The MCSO Special Victims Unit, working alongside Texas Child Protective Services and other agencies, launched a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the injuries, which later led to the baby’s unfortunate death.
Read the news release:
On April 14, 2024, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services concerning a severely injured 3-month-old child admitted to a local hospital. The Special Victim’s Unit of the Sheriff’s Office, in collaboration with Child Protective Services investigators, promptly initiated a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child’s injuries.
During the course of the investigation, detectives identified Melvin Jesus Aquino Enriquez as a suspect who was residing at a home in the 25000 block of Needham Rd, Porter, TX. Enriquez resides at the home with the infant and the mother of the infant. During the investigation, it was discovered that Enriquez had also committed an act of Assault, Family Violence-Strangulation, at which time he was arrested and placed in the Montgomery County Jail.
On April 17, 2024, Special Victim’s Unit Detectives charged Enriquez with Injury to a Child Causing Serious Bodily Injury. Tragically, the young victim succumbed to the injuries on April 21, 2024. The Special Victim’s Unit is currently awaiting autopsy results to further determine the circumstances leading to the untimely and devastating death of the child. Pending these findings, detectives will proceed with pursuing appropriate additional charges.
Enriquez is currently in the Montgomery County Jail on the two charges with a bond of $750,000. Additionally, Enriquez is being held on an ICE hold due to his immigration status. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office extends its gratitude to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, Texas Child Protective Services, and Children’s Safe Harbor for their critical roles in this sensitive investigation.
Our office, alongside the community, mourns the tragic loss of this young life. We are committed to ensuring justice is served and are determined to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
This is not Aquino Enriquez’s first encounter with the U.S. law enforcement.
An ICE spokesperson told Fox News that he is a “previously removed Mexican national” who had illegally re-entered the United States after being deported.
His history includes an arrest in March 2020 by Harris County (Texas) authorities, after which he was placed in immigration proceedings and subsequently deported to Mexico in September 2020. However, he re-entered the U.S. illegally and was once again detained in April 2024 following the recent assault charges.

UNC-Chapel Hill abolished Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) funding on Monday.
The Board of Trustees at UNC-Chapel Hill voted to divert $2.3 million away from DEI and funnel it to “public safety.”
“The UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees has voted to divert $2.3 million away from diversity, equity and inclusion programs and into “public safety.”” North Carolina Public Radio reported.
“The unanimous vote occurred at a special Board of Trustees meeting Monday morning. It is unclear if the diversion of funds would lead to layoffs.” WUNC reported.
One board member, Marty Kotis, said it was the the US flag incident during the anti-American protests in explaining his vote.
Marty Kotis: “We talk about peaceful protest, but when you destroy property or you take down the U.S. flag and you have to put gates around it… North Carolinians are watching all this, and they are not happy. And I think it’s imperative that we have the proper resources for our law enforcement to protect the campus — and that means our property and that means our flag as well.”

Earlier this year, the University of Florida fired all of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) staff in response to a new state law that bars colleges from using state or federal funds for the Marxist program.
“To comply with the Florida Board of Governor’s regulation 9.016 on prohibited expenditures, the University of Florida has closed the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, eliminated DEI positions and administrative appointments, and halted DEI-focused contracts with outside vendors,” the memo read.

Nancy Pelosi recently took a trip across the pond to attend a debate at Oxford Union, a highly esteemed university organization in the UK. This trip came as a surprise, considering at this event — she wouldn’t get the preferential treatment she gets from the American Liberal media. What might come as even more of a surprise is who she came to blows with on the debate floor. Who had the great honor of telling Mrs. Pelosi everything we’ve all been thinking?

In response to the US drug crisis which is claiming 200 American lives daily, the Biden Administration vows to cooperate with the Mexican government. A statement from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) regarding tackling Mexico’s cartels asserts, ‘In close coordination with the Government of Mexico and by leveraging President Biden’s Executive Order, we will continue to take aggressive action and exercise global leadership to strike drug trafficking organizations.'”
Taking down the cartels is crucial, given their involvement not only in narcotrafficking and money laundering but also in the surge of illegal immigration at the southern border, having gained control over the lucrative human trafficking trade. However, collaborating with the Mexican government won’t yield results. The White House statement is far from reality, given the firm grip of the cartels on the Mexican government. With escalating cartel interference in elections, prospects for change appear bleak.
Next month, Mexico will hold its general elections, but the cartels have made this year’s campaign season one of the bloodiest in history. Gisela Gaytan, a mayoral candidate from the small town of Celaya, was killed on the very first day of her campaign. Assassins shot her just after she descended from the podium, after pledging to combat cartel violence for her constituents. Magdalena Rosalez, who is running for Congress representing the same party as Gaytan, was asked by her party to abandon her campaign because of security concerns. The grim reality is that Gaytan’s murder, like most murders in Mexico, will remain unsolved and unpunished.
Democracy in Mexico is severely compromised by the cartels, whose influence has infiltrated the legislation, the judiciary, the military, police, and even the electoral process. In certain regions, the cartels handpick candidates and eliminate opposition through threats, violence, or murder. The situation is so extreme that in some elections, cartel-backed candidates run unopposed.
So far this year, approximately 30 candidates have been assassinated, with hundreds more intimidated into withdrawing from the race. Candidates face danger not only during public appearances but also every minute of every day. Consequently, 400 candidates have petitioned the government for security protection.
The cartels aim to install candidates in office who would align with their interests. Additionally, they seek to influence the selection of police chiefs, mayors, and other local officials. Furthermore, cartels are expanding their revenue sources by seizing control of municipal construction projects, including roads, schools, and hospitals.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, whom Biden is pinning his hopes on, denies assertions of violence even in Chiapas, a city synonymous with cartel rule. This is despite the fact that his own protege, presidential front-runner Claudia Sheinbaum, was recently halted and threatened by cartel gunmen.
In some parts of the country, cartels control access to towns, deciding who can enter or leave and what they can do while there. And the violence isn’t just limited to cities; even small towns like Maravatío, located in Michoacan with a population of only 80,000, have seen the assassination of three mayoral candidates. Two of the victims were from the same party as President Obrador, yet he denies that the electoral process is being impeded by violence.
In Chiapas, almost two dozen mayoral candidates from the PAN party have withdrawn from their races. According to a party member, while cartels previously influenced elections by buying off voters, they now resort to violence, either by killing candidates or forcing them out through threats.
The northern border, adjacent to the US, has long been notorious for its lawlessness and prevalence of crime and vice. However, the violence and crime are now spreading throughout the entire country. Historically, Mexico’s southern border was loosely guarded and relatively peaceful, but it has transformed into a transit point for Colombian cocaine smuggled through Guatemala. Today, Chiapas is one of the most affected states, where human trafficking, alongside narcotrafficking, has become a major source of income, with cartels aligning themselves with political parties. Numerous cartels operate in the region, including the two largest ones, the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartel (Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación or CJNG). Consequently, murders and disappearances have skyrocketed, with six political candidates among the recent casualties.
Biden is hoping that by partnering with the Mexican government, he can take on the cartels. This makes little sense given that the cartels control the Mexican government.

The appointment of the new Transition Council has not made any difference on the ground in the chaotic Caribbean nation of Haiti, even if the members seem to have stopped bickering and made a power sharing agreement.
In fact, as the heavily armed rebel gangs launched another attack in the capital Port-au-Prince, and seized control of yet another police station on Saturday (11), calls have arisen by civilians and police officers demanding the dismissal and arrest of Haiti’s police chief.
Armed rebels allegedly attacked the Gressier community, burning cars and attacking homes, leaving a trail of wounded and sending hundreds of people fleeing into the mountains.
Associated Press reported:
“Videos posted on social media showed people fleeing into the early dawn balancing bags and suitcases on their heads as men clad in sandals and carrying heavy weapons celebrated with gunfire. ‘The town is ours’, said one man who filmed himself with others who were armed, noting they were in Gressier. ‘We have no limits’.”
Frantz Elbé, the director of Haiti’s National Police, has become a target for outrage, described as incapable and incompetent.
As Police continue to lose their stations with equipment, many have accused Elbé and other high-ranking officials of being complicit with the gangs.
“The Grand Ravine gang has some 300 members and is accused of killings, kidnappings, rapes and other crimes.
Those fleeing Gressier now join more than 360,000 other Haitians who have been forced to abandon their homes as gangs raze communities in rival territories to control more land. Tens of thousands of Haitians have squeezed into squalid, makeshift shelters, including schools and government buildings abandoned due to gang violence.”
It was on February 29th that gangs launched coordinated attacks unleashing a horrifying season of violence.
Rebel Gunmen have burned police stations, had both the airport and the sea port shuttered and raided Haiti’s two biggest prisons, freeing more than 4,000 inmates.
“Veteran politician André Michel wrote on the social media platform X that the most recent attack targeting Gressier shows ‘Haiti will not be able to get out from under the gangs without an international force. We will not be able to secure the country ourselves’.
A U.N.-backed deployment of Kenyan police officers to Haiti has been repeatedly delayed, although some believe the first officers might arrive in late May.”

Hospitals are changing the way they operate — no pun intended — and it’s putting some patients’ health at risk.
It used to be common practice for hospitals and other medical facilities to calculate costs and send bills to patients after they’d completed the important part, i.e. treating the patient.
That’s less true today than it used to be, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Collecting payment in advance is more and more common at medical centers, and while that saves hospitals time and money collecting on bills later, it means that some patients don’t get the care they need when they need it, because they can’t come up with the cash up front.
“Those who can’t come up with the sums have been forced to put off procedures,” the Journal reported Thursday in an article titled “Hospitals Are Refusing to Do Surgeries Unless You Pay In Full First.”
The newspaper also noted that patients are sometimes overcharged, which puts them in the position of having to “fight” a large corporate entity to get a refund of the overpayment.
“Among the procedures that hospitals and surgery centers are seeking prepayments for are knee replacements, CT scans and births,” the Journal reported.
The report also noted that federal law requires hospitals to provide medical treatment in emergency situations. Of course, what a hospital considers an emergency may differ from how the term might be defined by someone experiencing severe pain.
“We need those patients who are able to pay to do so,” Leslie Taylor, a spokeswoman for University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, which owns one general hospital in Arkansas, told the Journal.
That hospital has in the past rescheduled some patients’ procedures until after they pay up, although they say they only do so with the approval of doctors.
Health care consulting company Kodiak Solutions told the Journal that 23 percent of patient bills are now being paid before treatment is provided, up from 20 percent only two years ago.
That may not seem like a huge increase, but considering that about half of American adults say they don’t have more than $500 available to pay for sudden medical issues, according to the Journal, it’s a trend that could cause serious problems for many.
The Journal spotlighted two cases of people affected by pay-in-advance policies, both of which had happy endings.
The first was that of Heather Miconi, whose daughter needed adenoid and tonsil surgery to help her breathe — not an emergency, but obviously important.
Miconi already works three jobs and has a high-deductible insurance policy, so she needed $2,000 to pay for the procedure in advance. She had to start a GoFundMe to raise the funds.
The good news in Miconi’s case is that the fundraiser has already brought in nearly $10,000. Miconi wrote on the site that she’ll use the extra to pay down medical bills that have been accumulating interest since her daughter’s 2021 hospitalization.
“This has lifted a huge burden from our lives and I am forever grateful,” she wrote.
The other example cited by the Journal was that of Blake Young, who needed a heart screening last November. He paid $3,600 in advance, only to find out later that he’d been overcharged by almost 200 percent, and the hospital owed him $2,546.
It took Young over six months to get his money back, and he had to involve the Better Business Bureau to do it.
The hospital, CHI Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee, did eventually offer Young an apology — and, eventually, a check.

A Minnesota mom told Alpha News that her 9-year-old daughter was savagely beaten on the playground because “she wasn’t Muslim.”
Shawna Larson said her 3 grader was savagely beaten by four other students at Hidden Valley Elementary on April 29 because of her “race and religion.”
The school principal approached Larson as she went to pick up her daughter from school and informed her about the attack.
“They came up to my vehicle and informed me that there was an incident at school that day. They wanted to make it very apparent that my daughter didn’t do anything to cause this, and they told me this was a calculated incident and that she had been attacked on the playground by four other students in her grade,” Larson told Alpha News’ Liz Collin.
“I ended up learning … this was due to her race and her religion because she wasn’t Muslim. So that was pretty jarring to hear,” the mother said.
According to school officials, the attack on Larson’s daughter was planned.
The child was covered in bruises and had a black eye after the Muslim students beat her.
“She told me she tried to get up and when she tried to get up and go for help the first time, and I believe it was the first time that they had gotten her on the ground, that she was trying to fight back and they had told her that if she hit them or she touched them, that they would hurt themselves and tell the teacher that she had hurt them. So, she just told me, ‘You know, so all I could do there is lay there, Mom,’” Larson said.
Larson said the school hasn’t taken any action against the four students who beat up her Christian daughter.
“My daughter hadn’t done anything to initiate this or create what had happened. This was just because of her race and her religion. So that was a big thing. Just the lack of action the school was taking, which I do understand to a point that the school has their own rules and their own laws that they have to follow. But the fact that because this was race and religion fueled, the fact that they were never suspended or expelled from school or redirected to distance learning instead of continuing to stay in the classroom, which two of them were in the same classroom as my daughter, is alarming, regardless of their age,” Larson said.
The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District remained defiant and told Alpha News that they “can’t share any private data about students, including specifics about student behavior or discipline.”

The legislation was supported by anti-abortion groups who hoped to grant more rights to unborn babies.
Republicans who supported the bill argued that they were working to help mothers cover the costs associated with pregnancy and delivery.
However, Kelly claimed that the bill was a “blatant attempt by extreme politicians in the Legislature to take more control over women and their families’ personal, private medical decisions.”
In a press release about the veto, Kelly wrote, “This divisive legislation has broad and sweeping implications that undermine the will of the majority of Kansans who voted overwhelmingly in 2022 to protect the constitutional rights of women to make decisions about pregnancy. This is another blatant attempt by extreme politicians in the Legislature to take more control over women and their families’ personal, private medical decisions.”
The governor claimed that helping women afford to carry babies to term would “go against the will” of those who support abortions.
“Kansans already made it very clear that they don’t want lawmakers involved in personal matters,” the press release continued. “It’s time we listen to them. As I have said before, I refuse to sign legislation that goes against the will of the majority of Kansans who voted on August 2, 2022.”
The Associated Press noted, “The Legislature has long had supermajorities that oppose abortion and GOP lawmakers this year overrode Kelly’s vetoes of four other measures backed by anti-abortion groups.”
“Now she won’t allow women to have the potential for additional child support,” Jeanne Gawdun, a lobbyist for Kansans for Life, the state’s most politically influential anti-abortion group, told the AP. “This will not deter those of us who actually have compassion for women in difficult situations.”

Melinda French Gates announced her resignation as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, notorious for funding far-left organizations, set to take effect next month. This decision, revealed on Monday via a statement on X, occurs nearly three years after her public divorce from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
In a detailed statement released on X, French Gates described this move as a pivotal step to “protect and advance women’s rights globally,” signaling a renewed focus on gender equality and support for women and families.
As part of her departure, she revealed plans to commit an additional $12.5 billion to these causes, a sum made available through her divorce settlement with Bill Gates in May 2021.
Here is French Gates’ full statement:
After careful thought and reflection, I have decided to resign from my role as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. My last day of work at the foundation will be June 7th.
This is not a decision I came to lightly. I am immensely proud of the foundation that Bill and I built together and of the extraordinary work it is doing to address inequities around the world. I care deeply about the foundation team, our partners around the world, and everyone who is touched by its work.
I am taking this step with full confidence that the foundation is in strong shape, with its extremely capable CEO Mark Suzman, the Executive Leadership Team, and an experienced board of trustees in place to ensure all its important work continues. The time is right for me to move forward into the next chapter of my philanthropy.
This is a critical moment for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world — and those fighting to protect and advance equality are in urgent need of support. Under the terms of my agreement with Bill, in leaving the foundation, I will have an additional $12.5 billion to commit to my work on behalf of women and families. I’ll be sharing more about what that will look like in the near future.
— Melinda French Gates (@melindagates) May 13, 2024
Bill Gates, in a separate statement, expressed his sentiments about the resignation: “I am sorry to see Melinda leave, but I am sure she will have a huge impact in her future philanthropic work.”
It can be recalled that Bill’s decision to continue his friendship with Epstein is one of the main issues that prompted their divorce in May 2021, ending their 27-year marriage, Melinda claimed.
Melinda Gates slammed her ex-husband Bill for continuing his longtime friendship with deceased pedophile Jeffery Epstein despite her warnings to him about having “nightmares” about him.
After Bill repeatedly met with Epstein, Melinda demanded her husband introduce her to the billionaire hedge fund manager in 2011.
“I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffery Epstein. I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffery Epstein exactly one time. I wanted to see who this man was and I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door,” Gates told CBS mornings host Gayle King, in her first interview since divorcing the vaccine touting billionaire philanthropist.
“He was abhorrent, evil personified,” Melinda said. “I had nightmares about it afterward. That’s why my heart breaks for these young women. That’s how I felt, and I am an older woman. He was awful.”
“It was not one thing, it was many things [that led to the divorce]. Any of the questions remaining about what Bill’s relationship with him was…those are for Bill to answer. I made it very clear how I felt about him,” she said.
Speaking from the office of her new company, Pivotal Ventures, in Seattle, Melinda claimed that Bill is a womanizer and had multiple affairs throughout their marriage, including the time he cheated on her with a Microsoft employee.
“Those are questions Bill needs to answer. I believe in forgiveness. I thought we had worked through some of that,” she said. “I gave every single piece of myself to that marriage. I was committed from the day we got engaged to the day I got out of it.”

Did you see the Wildwood New Jersey rally for President Trump over the weekend? The NY Post estimated there were over 100,000 Trump fans in attendance. In deep blue New Jersey!
Yes, size matters.
Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of American politics. 100,000 people with nothing better to do on a beautiful weekend beach day on the Jersey shore, but to fight traffic and parking nightmares, and get jammed into a political rally, with porta-potties, to listen to a politician speak.
This is called a phenomenon.
And this is no aberration. See the latest polls. Trump is up by double digits nationally. More importantly, Trump is dominating battleground states (which determine the electoral winner) like no one since Reagan.
In the latest battleground polls produced by the ultra-liberal and biased NY Times, Siena College, and Philadelphia Inquirer, Trump is destroying Biden. He’s up by a landslide 12 points in my home state of Nevada, by 10 points in Georgia, by 7 points in Michigan and Arizona, and by 3 in Pennsylvania. Wisconsin is a dead tie (within the margin of error).
This is with Biden enjoying a booming stock market…tens of millions of dollars spent by the Biden campaign for TV ads in battleground states…Trump convicted in civil court in New York…and on criminal trial for his life, involving an affair with a porn star. How is this possible?
I call it, “Show and Tell.”
Usually, people believe the lies, propaganda and misinformation they see and hear from the mainstream media. This time is different. Remember watching “Show and Tell” in 3rd grade? Telling someone is one thing, but to actually see it and feel it, is proof!
That’s why Trump is winning big. It starts with “the economy, stupid.” Everyone can see and feel inflation destroying their wallets, pocketbooks, bank accounts and budgets. They can see it and feel it in every grocery bill, restaurant bill, electric and gas bill, and at the gasoline pump.
This time, you can’t fool them, brainwash them, or gaslight them. No amount of propaganda works, when it comes to inflation. Because everyone can see it and feel it.
This is “Show and Tell.”
The government and media can cover-up Hunter Biden’s laptop, but they can’t cover-up inflation.
Secondly, this witch-hunt against Trump is not happening in secret. It’s all out in the open. No amount of propaganda, or gaslighting can hide this witch-hunt. Everyone can see with their own eyes that what’s happening to Trump is “injustice.” The charges are bogus, ridiculous, or aimed at only one man for the first time in history. The judges and juries are rigged. Trump is being persecuted and framed by a weaponized government.
The J6 prisoners are being tortured with cruel and unusual punishment, while radical leftist protesters like BLM, antifa and pro Hamas get the kid glove treatment. The DOJ goes after Catholics and PTA moms. Everyone sees it. Everyone is starting to understand, next it could happen to you and me.
Again, it’s “Show and Tell.”
America is becoming a combination of the Soviet Gulag, 1930’s Nazi Germany, and a Latin America Banana Republic.
Finally, perhaps the most important reason of all for the Trump landslide. For the first time, the American people can officially see and feel the difference between Trump/Republican rallies and Biden/Democrat rallies.
And the difference is frightening.
Turn on the TV. Just look at the makeup and personality of the people at Trump rallies. They are “apple pie and Chevrolet.” Hard-working, law-abiding, salt-of-the-earth Americans. Patriots of all kinds, proudly waving American flags. They look like your mom and dad, your grandparents. The people who made America great.
Until now, we had no Biden rallies to compare.
Since the day Biden started running for president in 2020, Biden has had very few rallies. On the rare occasions he leaves his basement, 50 people show up- 25 of them are media, the rest are Democrat Party officials.
But now for the first time, we actually have a comparison.
Look at the anti-Israel, anti-American rallies at college campuses across America. These are Obama/Biden/Democrat voters. They are filled with hate and rage for America, Israel, Jews, Christians, capitalism, police and military.
Not one of these radical, communist, low-lives has ever contemplated voting for Trump, or any Republican.
Their signs and chants say, “Death to Jews” “Death to Israel” “Death to America” “We are Hamas” “Intifada” and “End Capitalism.” They burn American flags and desecrate statues of American heroes. They threaten the lives of Jewish students. These aren’t patriots, they’re pigs.
These are enemies from within.
These are rioters, looters, torchers, thugs. They block Jewish students from entering classrooms, just like the KKK used to block black students. One day soon they will murder an innocent Jewish student.
This is the base of the Democrat Party. Vile, violent, radical Jew- haters and America haters.
“Show and tell.” Everyone can see and feel it. Normal God-fearing Americans don’t like what they see. Normal people don’t want America to look like this. They certainly don’t want people like this in power.
Trump attracts 100,000 patriots- with love in their hearts for America, American exceptionalism, the American Dream and yes, Israel too.
And these anti-Israel rallies attract a few hundred dirtbags, Hamas sympathizers and outright terrorists. This is the Democrat base. You can’t cover it up.
That’s why Trump’s lead is exploding. That’s why 100,000 Americans showed up for a Trump rally on a beautiful weekend beach day, in deep blue New Jersey.
“Show and Tell” is the phenomenon that is producing a shocking Trump landslide.
I’m certain Democrats are busy scheming how to replace Biden at the Democrat convention. But this is so big, even Michelle Obama can’t save the Democrats now.

As former President Donald Trump faces trial over alleged hush money payments, Republican support is visible, with high-profile lawmakers arriving in New York to stand with him.
On Monday, Trump’s cohort included notable figures such as Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who is also rumored to be Trump’s vice president contender, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.), representing parts of New York City.
Outside the courthouse, Vance vocally criticized the proceedings, telling reporters, “To the American voters watching this, your chance to voice opposition against what he called a ‘sham prosecution’ and to reaffirm that ‘the American people elect their President, not corrupt DNC prosecutors’, comes in November when you vote for Donald Trump,” Vance said.

Within the courtroom, the trio of lawmakers was positioned in the gallery’s second row, a mere 10 feet behind Trump, showcasing their support, according to The Hill.
Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen, a central figure in the case, is set to testify against Trump today.
Sen. Vance shared several observations inside the “dingy” courthouse:
At Trump trial today. Some observations:
1) We started in Trump Tower with a beautiful view of Central Park. Then you come to a dingy court house with people like Alvin Bragg. They prevent his supporters from getting too close to the court house, and they prevent his friends from standing too close to him. The president is expected to sit here for six weeks to listen to the Michael Cohens of the world. I’m now convinced the main goal of this trial is psychological torture. But Trump is in great spirits.
2) We’ve seen a couple mask wearers. [Sen. Tommy Tuberville] turns to me and says “looks like we forgot our masks.”
3) I saw a media report a few days ago that Trump looked like he was falling asleep or bored or something. The obvious narrative they’re trying to sell is “yeah Biden is mentally unfit but this other guy is bad too.” It’s an absurd narrative. I’m 39 years old and I’ve been here for 26 minutes and I’m about to fall asleep,
4) Cohen can’t remember how old his son is or how old he was when he started to work for Trump but I’m sure he remembers extremely small details from years ago!
5) Michael Cohen admitting he secretly recorded his employer. Just totally normal conduct, right? The best part is he said he did it only once and only for Trump’s benefit. A standup guy!
A 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyers admitting Trump knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ transaction re-emerged this year as the judge set the trial date.
Last year the Daily Mail obtained a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyer stating Cohen used his own personal money to pay Porn Star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
The letter also states that the Trump Org nor the Trump campaign reimbursed Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.
This directly contradicts Cohen’s testimony – not surprising given Michael Cohen is a convicted perjurer.

President Trump is back in court today in front of a New York City jury in the ongoing lawfare case where the prosecution has still not defined the criminal act that President Trump allegedly took part in.
This is the latest lawfare suit against President Trump that was completely derived by Democrats and the Biden regime to interfere with the 2024 election.
President Trump is currently leading in the polls in every battleground state except Wisconsin. Trump is ahead in Arizona and Georgia by 10 and 7 points.
Trump’s former attorney and close confidante Michael Cohen is testifying today at the show trial.
Cohen has already served time in prison in another Trump prosecution by the Democrats and deep state.
Today in court Cohen played audio of a secret recording he took between himself and his client Donald Trump. Attorney-Client privilege is a right for every American except Donald Trump.
FOX News reported.
Harris Faulkner: Remember, I told you, client attorney privilege out the window with this guy. They just played that recording, according to our team inside the courtroom. It’s remarkable. This is from one of our, one of our producers saying it’s remarkable that a lawyer would tape his client and then take it to a magazine publisher to, according to Cohen, prove Trump would pay him and ensure his loyalty. Seems like an obvious violation of the rules of professional responsibility, attorney client privilege, et cetera. Matt Whitaker, so they’re going to hear these tapes. What do you make of it?
Former Attorney General Matthew Whitaker: Well, I mean, obviously, I agree with everything you just said about the attorney client privilege and what Michael Cohen would do. But remember, you know, he has to, he’s talked a lot about this case. He’s talked a lot about the facts of this case. He’s done interviews, to your point, with magazines. He went in front of Congress and lied, got convicted. There’s so many times he’s told this story. And now the prosecution really, I think, is expecting him to say more than he’s ever said. And I think that’s very dangerous because a jury, it’ll fall right into the hands of, are you lying then or are you lying now? And I just don’t think he’s going to be credible once they get done with him. But, you know, this is distracting us from so many other important issues like the insecure border that the FBI director has said has caused the most dangerous threat environment since 911. It’s just really despicable.

Kamala Harris on Monday delivered remarks at the annual Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) Legislative Leadership Summit in DC.
Per APAICS:
The 2024 APAICS Legislative Leadership Summit brings together nonprofit and corporate leaders, subject matter experts, as well as local, state, and federal elected officials to discuss important issues that affect the Asian American & Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander community and the nation at large.
Past events focused on issues, policies, practices, and trends in the AA & NH/PI community in an environment that facilitates solution-oriented dialogue and building public service pipelines in communities of color.
Kamala Harris dropped an F-bomb on stage and then cackled.
“We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open and sometimes they won’t,” Harris said.
“And then you need to kick that f*cking door down! Ha ha ha! Excuse my language! Ha ha ha!” Harris said.
Harris said this after Jimmy O. Yang, a comedian who was moderating the discussion asked her to share her experience as the first female and person of color to serve as Vice President.
“Here’s the thing about breaking barriers. Breaking barriers does not mean you start on one side of the barrier and you end up on the other side. There’s breaking involved, and when you break things you get cut. And you may bleed. And it is worth it every time,” Harris said.

Joe Biden made a stop in Racine, Wisconsin last week to promote his ‘investing in America’ agenda.
Everyone is worse off because of Joe Biden. No matter how Biden spins it, crippling inflation is destroying the working class.
Black voters in Wisconsin are not happy with Joe Biden.
“A key piece of [Biden’s] coalition is Black voters — some of whom don’t see how they benefit from his economic plan,” KWWL reported.
“As they see the prices rise with Biden, they think Trump made the economy BETTER and Biden is making it WORSE,” a black voter told KWWL.

One black voter in Milwaukee slammed Joe Biden for his racist “you ain’t black” rant.
Recall that during the 2020 presidential election, racist Joe Biden told black radio host Charlamagne tha God that black Americans “ain’t black” if they don’t vote for him.
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black!” Biden said from his Delaware basement in 2020.

Biden blamed his own racist comment on Charlamagne tha God for “being a wise guy.”

“I thought that was an insult,” he said.

The United Nations has seemingly revised the estimated number of women and children it believes have been killed in Gaza during Israel’s war on Hamas, blaming the “fog of war” for the mistake.
In a graphic featured within OCHA’s recent daily briefing on May 6th, it was claimed that approximately 9,500 women had lost their lives in the ongoing conflict. The organization also cited data sourced from the Hamas-administered Ministry of Health in Gaza asserting that since hostilities began last October, roughly 14,500 children had been killed.
Yet just two days later, the U.N. agency appeared to revise these figures significantly downward in its subsequent report. The updated data indicated that approximately 4,959 women and 7,797 children had lost their lives.
The UN has just HALVED its estimate of women and children killed in Gaza.
And this still counts 16 & 17 year old terrorists as children.
It is time @BBCNews @skynews @cnn @nytimes and all the other brainless media apologise for spreading empty Hamas propaganda for 7 months.
— David Collier (@mishtal) May 12, 2024
The conflict erupted following a brutal attack by Hamas militants in southern Israel from Gaza, resulting in the deaths of over 1,200 individuals, predominantly civilians, and the taking of approximately 240 individuals as hostages.
A reporter from the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) asked the U.N. about the revision, with the spokesperson blaming the “fog of war” for the errors.
“The revisions are taken … you know, of course, in the fog of war, it’s difficult to come up with numbers,” Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, said at a press conference last Friday.
“We get numbers from different sources on the ground, and then we try to cross check them. As we cross check them, we update the numbers, and we’ll continue to do that as that progresses.”
UN revises Gaza death toll, almost 50% less women and children killed than previously reported.
Hamas’ death toll figures have been disputed by Israel, yet they have been quoted by media, humanitarian organizations and world leaders, including Biden.
— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) May 13, 2024
The revision takes place as global tensions and backlash over Israel’s war against Hamas threaten to boil over, with many nations accusing them of committing genocide against the Palestinians, a charge that Israel and its allies have fervently denied.
Over the weekend, neighboring Egypt confirmed that it would formally support South Africa’s genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), stating that Israel has acted “in flagrant violation of the provisions of international law, international humanitarian law, and the Fourth Convention of 1949 for the protection of civilian persons in time of war”.

Fake News Freakout!
CNN is in full panic mode today after the latest release of battleground polling data by The New York Times, Siena College and The Philadelphia Inquirer.
President Trump is leading in:
Arizona by 6 points
Georgia by 9 points
Nevada by 13 points – “My goodness gracious!”
Pennsylvania by 3 points
Wisconsin by 1 point
The New York Times poll has Biden up in Michigan by 1 point for some reason.
CNN reporter Harry Enten called the latest swing state polling an “absolute disaster” for Joe Biden and the Democrat Marxists.
Harry Enton: Look, these Sunbelt battlegrounds say, frankly, for the Joe Biden campaign, these numbers are an absolute disaster. The smallest leaders are in Arizona. For Donald Trump, he’s up six. Look at this. Nine in Georgia, 13 in Nevada! My goodness gracious. My God! that is a huge lead! No Democrat has lost that state since John Kerry lost it back in 2004. How about these Great Lake battleground states? This is something that the Joe Biden campaign can work with. Look, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump up three, but that’s well within the margin of error. Wisconsin, Donald Trump up one. Well within the margin of error. And actually a Joe Biden lead, well within the margin of error. Up a point here. This they can work with the Joe Biden campaign. This the Donald Trump campaign absolutely loves. And it looks like a lot of the other polling out of the Sunbelt battle.
CNN then pretends that Trump is losing white voters to Marxist Democrats – complete nonsense!
Harry Enton: So this is among likely voters in all these battleground states we just spoke about. Back in 2020, 84% of the Trump campaigns of the Trump coalition was white. Look where it is. Now it’s 78%. The nonwhite portion of the Trump coalition, it was 13% in 2020. Look at this. Now it’s 19%. So the Trump coalition is becoming more diverse. And of course, those sunbelt battleground states are more diverse than the Great Lake battleground states.

For service members whose careers survived the now-rescinded COVID-19 military “vaccine” mandate, many are becoming increasingly concerned about all vaccines, which include the flu vaccine.
Objections, including those based on religious grounds, about the safety, efficacy, testing, and research of the injections they once agreed to receive are on the rise.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to Daniel Schmid, Liberty Counsel’s Associate Vice President of Legal Affairs. “Many military members have sincere religious objections to certain immunizations, either because of their connections to aborted fetal cells or because they just have other religious convictions,” Mr. Schmid said. “There’s a federal statute called the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), as well as the First Amendment, which entitles them to protection for those religious beliefs,” he explained.
Upon the 2021 implementation and enforcement of COVID immunizations, thousands of service members were reluctant to take the vaccine—and many sought religious accommodation. According to Mr. Schmid, these requests should have been reviewed by a chaplain and then sent up the chain of command for serious individual consideration. However, he said, most requests for religious accommodation were “denied in mass.” The appeals of service members were also overwhelmingly denied.
Members of the military who refused to comply with the now-rescinded COVID-19 vaccine mandate faced a variety of punitive actions, including letters of reprimand, dishonorable discharges, and more. At the same time, COVID-19 injections were being “billed as 100 percent safe and effective, and they clearly are not.”
As service members began to learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine, he said, the conversations often steered toward the use of aborted fetal cells in vaccine testing and research, as well as the toxicity of the “gene altering” injection and its associated adverse health effects. According to a 2020 Moderna, Inc. report by the Securities and Exchange Commission, “mRNA is considered a gene therapy product by the FDA.” The Gateway Pundit has widely reported the vaccine’s adverse health effects.
“As the knowledge base increased [among service members] as to what is in certain immunizations, what they’re connected to, and how they’re developed, tested, and manufactured,” Mr. Schmid said, “it began to crystallize a more informed knowledge base that was previously lacking.’ And for him, “the more education, the better for it is for individuals, especially when you’re talking about putting something into their body.”
As knowledge continued to grow, Mr. Schmid said many service members also began to learn that requests for religious accommodation were an option they could pursue in the military when objecting to a given vaccine on the grounds of religion. “Most signed up as pincushions, getting jabbed with everything, not knowing it was an option to assert their religious beliefs,” he explained.
“Shouldn’t we protect the ones who swore an oath to defend the Constitution of all people?” he said, pointing out that “it seems patently obvious that they’re entitled to the same protections for religious freedom found within the document that we all are.” Moving forward, Mr. Schmid expects the number of requests for religious accommodation to increase because of a more informed military population.
Evidence of Hypocrisy
Many service members have now raised objections to the annual flu shots among the many vaccinations that service members have been required to take in recent years. The Gateway Pundit spoke to Captain Joshua “Hippity” Hoppe, an MV-22B Osprey pilot who is now an instructor in the T-6B aircraft, training the next generation of aviators for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
Not only did he defend religious and medical freedoms during the unlawful COVID mandates, he also requested a religious accommodation for the flu shot in December 2022. He cited his family’s approach to living a healthy lifestyle, the fact that he’s not in a high-risk category for severe cases of influenza, the DoD Immunization Program allows for medical and religious exemptions to the flu shot, and the fact that he believes the Lord is leading his family to no longer receive the flu shot annually.
Capt. Hoppe’s request was denied in February 2023. While the Marine Corps Headquarters agreed that he “may be healthier than the average citizen,” they claimed that the seasonal flu is “a highly contagious disease that has the potential to significantly and negatively impact” him and the safety of his unit.
The Marine Corps further claimed that reducing this risk was a “compelling government interest” and the “seasonal influenza vaccine is the most effective and readily available tool the Marine Corps has to keep [him and his] fellow Marines healthy and safe.”
Capt. Hoppe appealed this decision in June 2023 after obtaining the endorsements of his request through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. In his appeal, he cited the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website on Seasonal Flu Vaccine Effectiveness that illustrates the average flu vaccine effectiveness from 2009-2023 varying from as low as 19 percent to as high as 60 percent.
Capt. Hoppe also stated in his appeal “that a continued disregard for service members’ religious and medical freedoms that were given by God and protected by our Constitution will continue to negatively impact recruitment and retention if not corrected.”
His appeal was denied in February by Gen. G. P. Olson, Director, Marine Corps Staff. Although Gen. Olson affirmed his request was based on “sincerely held religious faith and beliefs,” he stated that Capt. Hoppe must remain “world-wide deployable” and surmised that “because there are no less restrictive means to ensure these compelling government interests, I deny your appeal.”
This final denial led Capt. Hoppe to conduct a survey among DOD service members who have also requested exemptions from the annual flu shots. Between March and April, Capt. Hoppe conducted an independent survey to collect data on the influenza vaccine religious accommodation and medical exemption process in the DOD. The results were compiled into a report titled DOD Flu Exemption Survey Results and included as an attachment in an Inspector General Complaint that he submitted alleging the final decision was a discrimination of his Constitutionally-protected religious freedoms.
The survey’s 143 respondents represented all branches of U.S. Armed Forces. Ninety-one respondents indicated they had requested religious accommodation for the flu vaccine. Fourteen others indicated they had requested medical exemption. According to survey, the DOD does have the ability to approve exemptions as seen by the 13 service members that were approved (to include longstanding 10+ year approvals) where service members have been able to remain “world-wide deployable” while remaining exempt from the annual flu shot.
As in Capt. Hoppe’s example, Mr. Schmid said, “the DOD will often argue that they’re weighing a military member’s religious beliefs against the government’s compelling interest in military readiness and in the health and safety of the force.”
“If you scratch their rationale a little bit below the surface,” Mr. Schmid said, “you’ll find that this isn’t entirely true.” On the one hand, he agreed that the Marine Corps might have a legitimate interest in preventing illness. But on the other hand, he said, “what they consider fully vaccinated among the force is generally about 90 to 93 percent of the force.” To that end, DOD Instruction 6205.02 (p. 3, paragraph 1.2.c.) confirms “a goal of 90 percent immunized by January 15th of each year.”
“Considering this, it’s obvious that they’ve baked into it a number of service members who don’t get the shot, whether for medical reasons or some other reason. He questioned, “Why can’t the DOD acknowledge that the First Amendment should be extended to the small percentage of those who would fall within your window of those unvaccinated?”
For Mr. Schmid, “the notion that forcing Capt. Hoppe to get the flu vaccine means that the United States military is now ready at a moment’s notice to go and defend the nation is just comical and patently absurd to me.”
“Does the DOD really have a compelling interest in making sure Capt. Hoppe is vaccinated versus a larger pool of people who have no religious objection or medical problem with the vaccine?” he asked, disclosing, “he [doesn’t] buy their rational and [thinks] they’re actually hiding behind it, just like they did while pushing the COVID injection.”
Interestingly, Capt. Hoppe and the author have reviewed some of the Navy’s approved religious accommodation requests (RARs) that cite the “current disease environment” as a reason they could approve an exemption from the flu shots—or all shots for that matter.
For Capt. Hoppe, “It seems hypocritical that the DOD can approve some requests due to the current disease environment, but deny others for individuals who aren’t even attached to a deployable unit.”
In January, he and 230 other service members signed the Declaration of Military, pledging to hold leadership accountable for the COVID mandate which unlawfully separated roughly 8,600 service members. Any American can join them in this pledge by adding their name at MilitaryAccountability.net.
Capt. Hoppe emphasized that his views don’t reflect those of the Department of Defense, the Department of the Navy, or the United States Marine Corps.

Congratulations class of 2024! Today we celebrate your high school graduation. High school graduation is America’s national “coming of age” tradition. Today, you are adults. Your future is finally yours.
Gen Z is America’s most educated generation ever. Your strong political opinions surely account for the “generation gap” between you and your parents and, especially your “Ok, Boomer” grandparents.
I laud your idealism and activism. The world needs it. But to become effective, authentic change-makers, you need bona fide examples.
Dr. Sam Mason is a trailblazing plastic pollution scientist. She was the first researcher to uncover the prevalence of plastic pollution in our freshwater ecosystems. Gen Z’s top concern is the environment. You know that plastic pollution is endemic. But you only know that because Dr. Mason discovered it—and then publicized it. That’s a change-maker. I want you to be like Sam, be a change-maker.
Like you, Dr. Mason became an activist at a young age. At 9, acid rain turned her favorite sitcom character’s hair green. That’s the moment when she became an environmentalist and fell in love—with chemistry.
10-year-old Sam loved chemistry’s “certainty” and “black-and-white” answers.” Life for her in Farmer’s Branch, Texas was riddled with insecurity and improbabilities. At 6, Sam’s mother abandoned her. One day she was there. And then she was not.
Overnight her single father took on multiple jobs to pay the bills. Young Sam was left in the care of an older brother. In those dark and lonely times, he sexually abused his younger, vulnerable sister. I know Gen Z struggles with mental health. Be like Sam, turn your pain into emotional rocket fuel.
Sam’s work ethic was born out of pain. In 1961, nearly 70% of college students studied 20 hours per week. Today, that number has fallen to 10%. Change-makers aren’t skipping class for protests. To be a change-maker requires discipline and thousands of hours of intense study.
In college, she spent 20 hours per week in a library study cubicle. There, she built 3-D models to better envision molecular interactions and chemical bonding. Those efforts paid off. In 1995 Sam graduated with a 3.99 GPA in chemistry.
Today, the average grade at the University of Texas is a B+. In the mid-1990s, when Sam was an undergrad, the average GPA at public universities was 2.8. To become a change-maker, ignore today’s lax standards and grade inflation. By not requiring excellence, we professors have failed you. So, be like Sam, and set your own high standards.
Sam essentially raised herself. All that independence created a fiercely unconventional young woman. She said of her path, “It was good to find my own way. I constantly followed my own heart.” Your helicopter parents mean well. Children don’t change the world; adults do. If your parents are doing your tax returns and paying your cellphone bill, be like Sam, and break free.
After college, Sam moved to Montana where she cleaned hotel rooms and was, in her words, a “terrible waitress.” After a year, she enrolled in the chemistry Ph.D. program at the University of Montana. She could have gone to Yale or Stanford. But she found a mentor who told her, “I like to think of my lab as a sandbox and I want people to play with.” He gave Sam the “freedom to think, play, and be creative.”
Internships, informational interviews, and intense careerism have their place. Be like Sam, sometimes bumbling is the best plan.
With that confidence, Sam soared. In graduate school, she gleaned an intellectual lesson that became her life’s metaphor, “The dissertation is a blank sheet. You are writing it. You are examining it. It is up to you to do the work, much of which is terribly mundane.” Be like Sam, do what is hard and mundane—that’s what changes the world.
Campus protesters make noise. Our attention economy rewards them. But it is the serious thinkers who bend the arc of a moral universe toward justice. Dr. Mason made her mark. But she told me, “It took 20 years of being a chemist before I was ready for ground-breaking research.”
In 2009, the skipper of the US Brig Niagara asked dozens of scientists to offer a summer class on board his vessel. Everyone said “no”—except Dr. Mason. I understand why. On the brig, she slept on a hammock next to 50 of her new best friends. When she wasn’t sailing into freezing rain, there was the heat. As for the bathroom, there wasn’t one. Then there were the “big biting black flies.” It was misery. It was torture. She loved it. For 25 weeks over 4 years, she sailed the Great Lakes in search of plastic.
Before Dr. Mason, plastic pollution meant the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. no one studied micro-plastic pollution in fresh water. The very first time, Dr. Mason hauled in her manta trawl sailors gathered around excitedly. They were crestfallen. They saw plants, bugs, algae, and zoa plankton. But Mason saw a bead of Styrofoam. That meant plastic. She said of this moment, “I grew up in Texas. If you see one cockroach there are 20,000.”
Most humans don’t change the world because the admission price is too high. Be like Sam, and see opportunities where others don’t.
These long voyages rewarded Mason with hundreds more hours in the lab. Hunched over a microscope, she searched for and then counted microscopic bits of plastic. She describes this labor as “lonely, isolating. It is the opposite of popular or social. It surely doesn’t feel heroic.”
Micro-beads were her first major discovery. The Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015 resulted. This put plastic pollution into the national consciousness. What looked like overnight success was anything but. Mason laughed as she told me, “It only took 20,000 hours [of labor] before the EPA called me.” That’s when the Environmental Protection Agency phoned Dr. Mason with the news that plastic pollution was an official field of research.
To Dr. Mason the secret of changing the world is “It can’t be your aim to change the world.” She told me, “When you are in the field, you must be intellectually open to being wrong. Because sometimes what you are expecting isn’t what happens. In the field, you must be a worker ant. But you must have passion. And that is built by decades of intense intellectual labor.”
Graduates, the world needs serious, dedicated, and intellectually open people. We have enough ideologues already. Go into your labs and libraries and learn something. Be like Sam, protest less, and study more.

In the context of Russia’s rapidly expanding successes in the war in Ukraine, and at the onset of President Vladimir Putin’s fifth term, the change of the Defense Minister in a cabinet reshuffle was a surprise both in Russia and abroad.
Putin chose a civilian economist for his new defense minister, in what some see as an attempt to better utilize the defense budget and harness greater innovation.
Andrei Belousov, a former deputy prime minister who specializes in economics, will replace Putin’s long-term ally, Sergei Shoigu, 68, as defense minister.
Reuters reported:
“Putin wants Shoigu, in charge of defense since 2012 and a long-standing friend and ally, to become the secretary of Russia’s powerful Security Council, replacing incumbent Nikolai Patrushev, and to also have responsibilities for the military-industrial complex, the Kremlin said.”
This is by far most significant change made to the military command since the start of the war, and it may be connected to the arrest of deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov, a close ally of Shoigu, for corruption.
“Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the change made sense because Russia was approaching a situation like the Soviet Union in the mid-1980s, when the military and law enforcement authorities accounted for 7.4% of gross domestic product (GDP).
That, said Peskov, meant it was vital to ensure such spending aligned with and was better integrated into the country’s overall economy, which was why Putin now wanted a civilian economist in the defense ministry job.”
Economist Belousov played an important role in overseeing Russia’s drone program.
“Putin’s move, though unexpected, preserves balance at the top of the complex system of personal loyalties that make up the current political system.
The shake-up gives Shoigu a job that is technically regarded as senior to his defense ministry role, ensuring continuity and saving Shoigu’s face. Valery Gerasimov, the chief of Russia’s General Staff and someone with a more hands-on role when it comes to directing the war, will remain in post.”
Putin maintained the chiefs of the Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), as well as foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, in their posts.

In a stunning display of irony and contradiction that borders on the absurd, an associate dean tasked with upholding gender equality at Columbia University cut off and muted a fellow professor during a faculty senate meeting earlier this month when the latter professor warned her colleagues that the Ivy League school had been infiltrated by outsiders with “known ties to terrorist organizations.”
And yes, these are groups that literally support terrorists and who are known for their oppressive attitudes towards women.
The irony of a gender equality dean silencing warnings about groups with known oppressive attitudes towards women was not lost on anyone who observed the incident, which took place via Zoom on May 3, mere hours after Hamilton Hall was overrun by a mob of Hamas-supporting students.
NEW from me
A meeting of the Columbia University faculty Senate was derailed after a professor warned that terrorists had infiltrated the campus https://t.co/GwnmeYk86m pic.twitter.com/foUlLnmhGZ

“I do want to emphasize that there really is a need for good security on campus and it was very clear prior to Tuesday night that the university was unable to do that given the number of people from outside who were able to pass through our tight security to get onto campus,” Professor Carol Ewing Garber said.
Seconds into her remarks, Associate Dean for Gender Equity and Career Development Jeanine D’Armiento began to cut Garber off. But not before Garber was able to say, “and we do know that there are groups who are supporting terrorists,” according to coverage of the incident by the New York Post.
Instead of addressing these serious allegations, D’Armiento responded by silencing Garber, muted her microphone, dismissed her concerns, and claimed they “have no evidence” of what Garber said.
The Senate meeting then descended into chaos, reflecting deep divisions within the faculty about the handling of such sensitive issues, as other faculty members came to Garber’s defense.
Mind you, these groups that Garber was referring to, beyond their political impact, are known for practices that violently oppress women—actions that should naturally concern anyone dedicated to gender equity.
Yet, when Garber attempted to bring these legitimate security concerns to light, D’Armiento interrupted and muted her, dismissing these concerns due to an alleged lack of evidence and deemed the discussion “unfair.”
Moments after D’Armiento was shut down by fellow faculty, Garber was able to emphasize the need for a thorough investigation into these groups and to, once again, factually point out that “there is evidence that there are groups who are influencing student groups on campus in this country… to behave in certain ways. And there is evidence about those things… And many individuals feel afraid because of that.”
D’Armiento’s response to silence Garber not only raises questions about the role and effectiveness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion positions but also starkly highlights the contradictions inherent in a gender equity dean dismissing concerns about groups known for gender-based violence.
This could potentially make her the absolutely worst “Dean of Gender Equality” in the history of education.
Furthermore, D’Armiento’s management of the meeting, where she repeatedly asserted “this is my meeting,” only added to the tumult, displaying a troubling approach to governance and dialogue within the university.
This event has ignited a broader discussion on campus about the actions of anti-Israel protesters and the response of the university’s administration, which has been seen as feeble and not doing nearly enough.
In fact, Columbia University groveled to the woke mob and even canceled its main commencement ceremony, scheduled for May 15 in New York City, due to security concerns amid ongoing anti-Israel protests.
The atmosphere at Columbia remains both charged and toxic, as evidenced by subsequent events, including a controversial campus appearance by individuals linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine — a group widely recognized as a terrorist organization.
These developments have only intensified the scrutiny on Columbia’s handling of security and ideological conflicts on campus.
The Zoom incident also underscores the critical need for DEI roles to not only enforce policies but to do so in a manner that genuinely upholds the values of equity and justice they are meant to champion.
With her comments, D’Armiento revealed the truth about DEI positions like hers — they exist not to help minorities but to rigidly enforce whatever the latest leftist orthodoxy or shibboleth happens to be. After all, a genuine advocate for gender equality would not dismiss concerns about entities that perpetuate severe human rights abuses.
And they certainly wouldn’t run interference for those supporting roving packs of sexual abusers (or worse) and silence such a debate.
The Western Journal has asked D’Armiento if she believes running interference for those supporting what amounts to violent rape gang, among other things, on Oct. 7 promotes gender equality. As of publication, she has not responded to our question.
To think, this is what tuition dollars are going to support: a “Dean of Gender Equality” who runs interference for terrorists who brutally tortured women on Oct. 7 and afterward.
The irony of a gender equality dean, tasked with protecting the vulnerable, potentially disregarding the implications of hosting groups on campus that have been infiltrated by entities with oppressive ideologies towards women, should prompt a reevaluation of how DEI initiatives are implemented and perceived in academic settings.
If this pattern of neglect and complicity continues unchecked, America must confront a stark reality: The very institutions meant to foster a just and safe environment are failing in their duty.
Should this persist, unchecked by rigorous oversight and genuine commitment to upholding the principles of equity and justice, the consequences could prove dire for the safety and moral integrity of not just universities, but the nation itself.
The peril of these oversights and explicit interference lies not just in the immediate threats they present, but in the insidious decay of our nation’s foundational values, putting America’s future in grave danger for generations to come.

President Trump is back in court today in front of a New York City jury in the ongoing lawfare case where the prosecution has still not defined the criminal act that President Trump allegedly took part in.
This is the latest lawfare suit against President Trump that was completely derived by Democrats and the Biden regime to interfere with the 2024 election.
President Trump is currently leading in the polls in every battleground state except Wisconsin. Trump is ahead in Arizona and Georgia by 10 and 7 points.
This morning American patriots Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and Senator J.D Vance (R-OH) at the courthouse this morning.
Either one of these men would make a GREAT VP pick.
Two great Americans @SenTuberville and Senator @JDVance1 are with President Trump today at his NYC show trial. Either would make a stellar VP pick!… PLEASE Give us a true MAGA conservative, Mr. President! pic.twitter.com/Muyu5JJIvm

President Trump spoke to reporters before the show trial.
President Donald Trump: Thank you very much. Greatly appreciate you being here. The New York Times just came out with a poll that shows us leading everywhere by a lot.
This is the COVID story and I think you’ll find it very interesting, but I’m sure you’ve all read it.
Leading in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia and Nevada. Nevada, we are leading, actually by twelve points, which is generally a Democrat state.
I think we’re probably leading in New Jersey. We had a rally over 100,000 people this weekend. A lot of the mainstream media didn’t want to say how many people they didn’t want to cover, but in fact, I don’t think anybody did. I hear the crowd was not shown by the mainstream media, which is what they tell me. But that’s par for the course.
A couple of quotes that just came out. Fareed Zakaria, no friend of mine. “The Trump trial is politically motivated. I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump.”
Mark Levin, great guy, brilliant man, “Our judicial system has blown up. It’s broken.”
Andrew McCarthy, “Trump should be acquitted in Manhattan, wholly independent of the plethora of constitutional infirmities in the prosecution. It should be thrown out for the most basic of reasons. Bragg cannot prove his case.” got no evidence and I’m innocent. This is a political witch hunt and nobody’s ever seen anything like it. And it’s, I tell you what, the appellate division on the judges should step in because what this judge is getting away with is disgraceful, including the fact that we have thousands of people, we have 100,000 people in New Jersey. They would like to show their support. It’s like an armed camp outside. You can’t get one person within three blocks of this courthouse.
Greg Jarrett, “We’re not, I mean, I mean, you take a look at this statement, it’s, we’re entering the fourth week and there’s still no evidence whatsoever connecting Trump with any criminal wrongdoing, a crime that’s not charged. It’s a crime that, in which prosecutors won’t even tell the defendant what it is.”
I have no idea what they’re even doing. We have records and they talk about bookkeeping. The only thing down in the bookkeeping is that we call a legal expense a legal expense. We don’t call it a construction expense. We don’t say for concrete work, we don’t say for electrical work. We pay the lawyer a legal expense. And we have a legal expense is a legal expense. It’s marked down in the book. Legal expense. It’s perfectly marked down. The other side doesn’t know how to handle it.
But they say, let’s indict them anyway because that’s what Biden, this all comes from Biden in the White House, by the way. And they have their top people here because he can’t, when he can’t put two sentences together, he’s the worst president in the history of our country. Can’t speak, can’t walk off a helicopter, can’t walk off a plane, can’t walk off a stage. And the only way they think they can win is if they can do something with Trump. Because we have an incompetent, the worst president in the history of the United States of America.
Jonathan Turley, “After Bragg closes the prosecution’s case, the defense will make a standard motion for dismissal. Merchan, who is so corrupt and so conflicted like no judge has ever been, and the press doesn’t want to write about it. But you know exactly what we’re saying. Merchan should grant that motion for dismissal. There’s been no showing of a crime. They failed to protect the rights of the defendant from a baseless, politically motivated prosecution.
That’s Jonathan Turley. All very talented legal experts. But the big thing today seems to be the Times. I’m sure the Times is thrilled, but I respect them for at least letting it come out. And there it is. It’s Trump leading by a lot in every state. Every swing state, leading by a lot. This trial is rigged. It’s dishonest. It’s a disgrace to New York. It’s a disgrace to the country. I should be out campaigning now instead of sitting in a very cold courthouse all day long. This is a Biden prosecution. It’s election interference at a level that nobody in this country has ever seen before. This is for third world countries, not the USA. Thank you very much.

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas on Sunday accused President Joe Biden of taking the side of Hamas in an effort to end the war in Gaza, which was started by Hamas when it slaughtered Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.
“Joe Biden’s position is de facto for Hamas victory at this point. Israel’s goal is to destroy Hamas, which committed the worst atrocity against Jews since World War II. Hamas’s goal is to survive,” Cotton said on the CBS show “Face the Nation.”
“If Israel does not go into Rafah and destroy Hamas in Rafah, Hamas will survive,” he said.
Biden has said he would go so far as deny Israel the tools of war needed to attack Rafah.
Cotton denounced the current policy comments of the Biden administration on Hamas as a “bunch of weaselly, mealy-mouthed politics.”
Comments from Secretary of State Antony Blinken that paint both sides as having done wrong are “some magic talisman to help them walk the political line they want between the pro-Hamas wing of their party and the vast pro-Israel majority of the American people.”
Cotton said despite international condemnation for bombing the terrorists of Hamas, “Israel is doing more than any military in history, in all likelihood, to prevent civilian casualties.”
“If Hamas did not hide behind and under civilians, there would no – there would not be civilian casualties. For that matter, if Hamas simply surrendered and turned over all these hostages, there would be no more civilian suffering in Gaza,” he said.
Cotton accused Biden of imposing “a de facto arms embargo on Israel and sanctions on Israelis, noting that he just said last week that he’s not going to send offensive weapons.”
“We have no idea what he’s going to withhold,” he said.
Cotton noted that if America changes presidents after the November general election, the nation’s policy toward Israel would change as well.
“President Trump said just last night that he would absolutely provide Israel with the weapons they need to finish the job. This would have never happened on President Trump- Trump’s watch, it didn’t happen on his watch,” he said.
“And if he were president, this war would have probably already been over with much less civilian suffering in Gaza because he would have backed Israel to the hilt from the beginning,” Cotton added.
A report in The Washington Post said that U.S. intelligence agencies are working with Israel to pinpoint the locations of key Hamas leaders as a way to avert a broad-based attack.
A report in the Times of Israel quoted Biden as saying if the hostages taken Oct. 7 are released, there could be a cease-fire.
“There would be a ceasefire tomorrow if Hamas would release the hostages,” Biden said at a fundraiser.
“Israel said it’s up to Hamas; if they wanted to do it, we could end it tomorrow. And the cease-fire would begin tomorrow,” Biden said.
Last week, Hamas admitted that in offering to exchange 33 hostages as part of a deal, not all the hostages exchanged would be alive, according to The New York Times.

In what could be described as a modern-day miracle, a woman in San Francisco has actually been convicted of shoplifting.
In a press release on Friday, the San Francisco Attorney’s Office confirmed that Aziza Graves, 43, had been found guilty of one felony and 53 misdemeanors following her shoplifting bonanza.
The statement read:
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced today that her office secured a conviction of Aziza Graves (43), of San Francisco, after a trial by jury for repeated theft from retailers. Ms. Graves was convicted of one felony count of grand theft in violation (PC 487(a)) and 52 misdemeanor counts of petty theft (PC 490.2(a)) in relation to a series of retail thefts occurring at Target in Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco. She was also convicted of one count of misdemeanor petty theft (PC 490.2(a)) in relation to a theft that occurred at Abercrombie and Fitch, also in San Francisco.
…
In this case, the People alleged that Ms. Graves had entered Target located at the Stonestown Galleria on dozens of occasions between the dates of October 3, 2020, through November 16, 2021, and repeatedly stole merchandise with a total value in excess of $60,000. Ms. Graves would enter Target, and then immediately proceed to select merchandise from the shelves. She would then proceed to the self-checkout counter where she would scan each item, insert a nominal amount, such as a single coin or bill, and then exit the store.
Through the combined efforts of San Francisco District Attorneys’ Investigative Bureau and the San Francisco Police Department’s Burglary Unit, she was followed on a couple of occasions and surveilled after leaving Target with unpaid merchandise. She was observed selling her stolen goods at UN Plaza to sellers of stolen property. She subsequently began to sell her stolen goods to anyone passing by.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins celebrated the conviction, accusing the woman of “egregious thefts” that have cost the local community:
Retail theft continues to have a major impact on San Francisco businesses from the small mom-and-pop corner store to the large retail stores. Individuals such as Aziza Graves commit egregious thefts through brazen and repeated conduct that greatly impacts retailers’ ability to operate and serve the general public in their area.
These crimes demand accountability and we need to send the message to others who engage in open and brash thefts that, with the support of our local law enforcement partners, our office will continue to pursue and prosecute those involved. This verdict emphasizes that the citizens of San Francisco will not tolerate these offenders who attempt to take advantage of our business community.
San Francisco is notorious for its rampant shoplifting, excaerbated by the refusal of the city’s far-left authorities to prosecute repeat offenders. As a result, many prominent businesses have left the city, leading to economic decline and a desire to change.
Shoplifting has been effectively decriminalized under California state law. Those found stealing $950 or less are typically subject to a misdemeanor, meaning law enforcement probably will not even bother to investigate.

Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence suggested that former Vice President Mike Pence is a homosexual and made crass remarks about his penis.
Speaking at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) annual Media Awards event in New York City on Saturday, Lawrence said that Orville Peck, who was receiving the Vito Russo Award, was her “favorite musician and good friend.”
“I love the gay community. In fact, I was in love with a homosexual. I tried to convert him for years, but now I know conversion therapy doesn’t work,” Lawrence explained.
“Did you hear me, Mike Pence? I said conversion therapy isn’t real, even though I know you think it worked on you. He’s in New York tonight. He’s receiving a Kid’s Choice Award for weirdest dick.”
While Pence is known for his socially conservative views, there is no evidence that he has ever privately or publicly advocated conversion therapy.
As explained by The New York Times, accusations of Pence’s support for conversion therapy originate from a website for Pence’s 2000 congressional campaign where he discussed the Ryan White Care Act, which provided federal funding for H.I.V. and AIDS patients having been approved by Congress that same year.
The website stated:
Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.
Regardless of Pence’s supposed sexuality, it is clear that his political career is at an end. After being dubbed a “traitor” for his refusal to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election despite widspread evidence of voter fraud, he has alienated vast swathes of the Republican base.
In March, Pence delivered his final betrayal by refusing to support Donald Trump’s campaign to remove Joe Biden from the White House.
“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence told Fox News at the time. “I’m incredibly proud of the record of our administration.”
“But that being said, during my presidential campaign, I made it clear there were profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues,” he continued. “And not just our differences on our constitutional duties that I exercised on January 6th.”

A week ago, news broke that the US State Department knew COVID was leaked from the Wuhan laboratory, and the Communist Chinese leaders knew this and hid this from the global community.
The US State Department knew in July 2020 that Xi Jinping was hiding this from the global community.
Documents released by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic prove that the State Department knew this but hid this from President Trump, the American people, and the global community.
This past week, The Gateway Pundit reached out to former Trump insiders for more information. The officials were not able to talk about the matter.
But it is clear President Trump was not informed and this information was not leaked to the media like all of the anti-Trump reports government insiders leaked out against Trump during his time in office.
We know President Trump was not informed because he had no reason to hide this from the American public. But the deep state did have several reasons to keep this from Trump and the American public, including the fact that Dr. Fauci and the American medical community was funding the Wuhan lab and this would be a major national scandal if this came out at the time. Also, the presidential election was approaching and they knew this would give President Trump an advantage. This is more evidence of the Deep State working against President Trump and the American people.
So, they protected Xi Jinping.
The US State Department was protecting the Chinese Communist leader. Why is that? And will Republicans ever get to the bottom of this?
It should also be noted that these same deep state officials were pressuring social media at the time to censor and ban any reports that said the virus was leaked from the Wuhan lab – including this website.
This is a major scandal that is being totally ignored by the legacy media for some reason.
Here again is last week’s report…
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released shocking statements and documents on Tuesday night that reveal that the U.S. State Department knew COVID leaked from a Wuhan Biolab and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) covered it up.
The documents reveal that the State Department knew this since July 2020.
The highly redacted documents show enough proof to see the US Government has been lying to the American public since at least July 2020. They knew all along it was a leak from a bio lab.
“These classified documents were previously released in an unclassified and highly redacted FOIA production to US Right To Know. Today, Chairman RepBradWenstrup requested StateDept rapidly declassify the documents and share the truth about the origins of COVID-19 with the American people,” the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic wrote on X.
The letter, addressed to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, reads:
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (Select Subcommittee) is investigating the origins of COVID-19. Since April 2, 2020, Committee on Oversight and Accountability Republicans have investigated the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) role in obscuring the truth regarding the initial outbreak, and whether any U.S. taxpayer dollars funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s (WIV) dangerous gain-of-function research.’ On February 27, 2023 we wrote to the Department requesting information pertinent to this investigation.’
Pursuant to that letter, the Department recently produced classified documents to the Select Subcommittee that were previously released in an unclassified and highly redacted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) production to U.S. Right to Know.? These documents contain highly pertinent information that credibly suggests:
- COVID-19 originated from a lab-related accident in Wuhan, China;
- The CCP acted to prevent, and in fact obstructed, a fulsome investigation into these matters; and
- A seamless relationship between the WIV and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.
The American people deserve to see the information that is hidden under these redactions.
We write to you today to request that you immediately take steps to declassify this information such that the American people have a more complete picture of the government’s evidence regarding the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To ensure that these documents are expeditiously reviewed for declassification, the highly redacted FOIA versions are enclosed. In addition to the rapid commencement of a declassification review, the Select Subcommittee requests a staff level briefing to occur before May 14, 2024.
This briefing was previously requested on April 24, 2024 with the goal of it occurring prior to the Select Subcommittee’s hearing with the President of EcoHealth Alliance, Inc.—and known WIV collaborator—Dr. Peter Daszak. However, the Department responded that it could not support a briefing on that timeline.
The Select Subcommittee is authorized to investigate “the origins of the Coronavirus pandemic, including but not limited to the Federal Government’s funding of gain-of function research” and “executive branch policies, deliberations, decisions, activities, and internal and external communications related to the coronavirus pandemic” under H. Res. 5.
The US and CCP hid this from the public.
NEW- Chairman @RepBradWenstrup of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus says he’s seen classified State Dept. docs that “credibly suggest COVID-19 originated from a lab related accident in Wuhan, China.”
And that the CCP “…attempted to cover-up the lab leak.”

The documents are highly redacted, yet you still can see what they contain, and it is explosive.
The emailed report was dated July 20, 2020.
The report revealed that the lab leak was covered up by Beijing officials — AND later US officials!
Xi lied to obfuscate his role in the cover-up — then American officials lied to cover up for Xi!
The report includes Chinese documents!
So why did US officials cover up for China?
Why did they lie for years now to the American public? Were they protecting Xi?
Did President Trump know, or did they keep this from him, too?
What about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo?
Here are the highly redacted documents from the US State Department.

Brilliant scholar and former Trump attorney John Eastman, traveled to Michigan on Friday night.
Attorney Eastman delivered a powerful speech on lawfare and how it’s being used against President Trump and his supporters. Mr. Eastman addressed a large crowd in Lansing, Michigan, at an event that was hosted by Michigan’s top election integrity group, MI Fair Elections, which was created by the incredible author and patriot extraordinaire Patrice Johnson.
John Eastman described the election fraud in 2020 in great detail during his speech.
The Biden regime and deep state players DO NOT want you to know this.
Enjoy!
* * * * * * * * * *
Attorney John Eastman: Thank you all so much. I start this story when I get a call from the White House switchboard. I thought they were joking. I thought it was a buddy of mine saying, the White of the President is on the line. Can you take a call? I said, Steve, what are you doing? I did a hop-up on the phone. And the President said, “I’d like you to represent me. We’re trying to get an action before the Supreme Court of the United States.”
That normally is something that would be considered the catch stone of one’s career. My daughter thought so. She took the brief we filed in the Supreme Court, my motion to intervene on behalf of the President in the Texas versus Pennsylvania case. She had it framed and gave it to me for Christmas that year. It still adorns my office at home.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum, as the old guy says, because apparently, in 21st-century America, you’re not supposed to challenge the status quo. You’re not supposed to challenge what government tells you. No matter how blatantly false it manifestly is. When they said masks should be worn or masks shouldn’t be worn, we’re supposed to act like they didn’t change their mind. And then it was equally the same when they said it’s okay to have 50-year-old men showing up naked in your daughter’s showers. We’re supposed to just say, Well, this is the government, they said this is okay. Or competing against your daughters in the swim meet. What’s she going to do when she grows up and wants to get a scholarship swimming or running track and she’s competing against the man? It’s not fair. It’s not American, and we need to stand up against it.
Bill Barr
And the same thing is true with elections. Bill Barr said that there was no evidence of fraud. He looked. Except when we filed a Public Records Act request asking what he looked at and getting access to the investigatory materials that he based that statement on, now the investigative materials are exempt from the FOIA Freedom of Information Act. And what you get back, normally, it says, yes, we have such materials, but it’s exempt under whatever subsection of the statute it’s exempt under. That was not the message that came back. There was a fellow that filed FOIA requests in every swing state US attorney’s office – asking for all the investigative materials that supported Bill Barr’s statement. And the answer didn’t come back. We have these materials, and they’re exempt. The message, the letter came back and it said, There are no such materials. In other words, what Bill Barr said was a lie.
As we know from US Attorney in Pennsylvania, Bill McSwain. Barr was separately telling him, calling in, saying, stand down, hand the materials over to the attorney general of Pennsylvania. Think about that. The Democrats in Philadelphia are stealing an election. You’re going to hand it over to the Democrat attorney general to conduct the investigation. In other words, the investigation is occurred.
The head of CISA said it was the most secure election in history. I mean, you can’t even say that with a straight face. I tried to sell that storyline to Hollywood. They turned it out as too implausible. No, I’m kidding. An article that just recently published based on a speech I gave at the Gatestone Institute in New York some months back called, in quotes, ‘The Most Secure Election in History.’…
…My job was to focus on the illegality, and I want to lay out the basic constitutional premise here. Article 2 of the Constitution is so clearly written that even lawyers should be able to understand it. It says that the states shall choose the presidential electors in the manner chosen by, directed by the legislature of the state. The legislatures decide how presidential electors are going to be chosen. In the first half century of our nation’s history, most of the state legislatures just chose the presidential electors themselves. You can imagine what those campaigns for state legislative office were like. It took a whole new meaning every four years because whoever got in office would be the ones choosing the presidential elector from that state. Since the Civil War, all the states, Colorado, when it first in, chose its own electors by the legislature. But since the Civil War, all the states have chosen electors in the manner by having a popular vote.
And what that means is the election code, how you conduct that election, becomes the manner for choosing presidential electors. And under that constitutional assignment of authority, plenary power, the Supreme Court had said to the state legislators, only the legislature can alter that manner. Only the legislature can decide whether we’re going to get rid of signature verification or water it down. Only the legislature can decide whether we can have drop boxes or human drop boxes. Only the legislature can decide, we’re not going to have bipartisan teams going into the nursing homes as Wisconsin required. Only the legislature can decide, we’re not going to bother making sure we have bipartisan teams at every county table in TCF Center. The decisions to alter those state election laws by county clerks, by secretaries of state, even in some instances by state courts, Court judges, were not only an illegal thing under state election law, because we’re dealing with the federal election whose power to design that system comes from the federal constitution. Those actions were unconstitutional. That alone made the election invalid. I don’t have to prove fraud politically, you want to say, and it affected more votes in the outcome because you don’t want to rest on a technicality there.
Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, the Secretary of State there prohibited the mandatory bipartisan teams from going into nursing homes. Why do we have bipartisan teams as part of the law in Wisconsin? Because people in nursing homes tend to be Particularly susceptible to undue influence. And we don’t want that undue influence affecting their right to vote. So you have bipartisan teams going to make sure that doesn’t happen. She prohibited it, claimed it was because of COVID. The fish tank cleaners, I’m told, were still allowed to go in, but not the bipartisan teams to secure honesty in the vote from those nursing homes. That opened the door for fraud. It was one of the main checks against fraud that the legislature had were directed, and it was ignored by the Secretary of State without any constitutional authority. How do we know people walked through that door with fraud? Well, turnout rates in the nursing homes in Wisconsin went from a historical average of 20 to 30 % to nearly 100%, including in memory care wings of the nursing house.
And many of the ballots were in the same handwriting. There’s no evidence of fraud. How many have heard that on that. That alone affected more ballots than the margin of victory in Wisconsin, which was just over 20,000. Another thing which the courts have subsequently held was illegal in Wisconsin was drop boxes. There’s no That’s where authority for drop boxes. And in Wisconsin, they not only put drop boxes in haemily democratic areas, they put human drop boxes. That was a clever way of… They ran an operation called Democracy in the Park, which was a battle harvesting operation for college It’s in Madison, Wisconsin, where University of Wisconsin is. And that one operation over two Saturdays leading up to the election, they collected illegally 17,500 votes. The margin was 20,600 and something. That’s just that one operation. These things have subsequently been held to be illegal. And yet people continue to insist that I am… What’s the phrase they use in the California Bar proceeding? I’m exhibiting moral turpitude because I continue that there was illegality in the conduct of the election. Georgia, they ran what I call portafolio precincts all over town in Atlanta. They created portable precincts.
Georgia Signature Evaluation was not performed
Now, that violated several laws in Georgia. The precincts have to be fixed, and you have to notify people ahead of time where they’re going to be. I don’t think they ever provided notice of what the route of the portable precinct was going to be. It makes it very difficult to have the observers violated the law. The Secretary of State there in an individual consent decree, months before the election, they completely obliterated, watered down the signature verification process. So much so that in Fulton County, they didn’t even bother to try even the watered down signature verification process. They admitted that in one of the cases down there. That was all illegal, and it affected many more folks in the 11,779 vote market in Georgia.
Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, to this day, there are 120,000 more ballots cast than voters. Think about that for a minute. It lends credence to the story that supposedly was debunked about the truck driver who said, I trucked in 200,000 ballots from Long Island to Philadelphia, and I don’t know what happened to that. 120,000 more ballots than people voted. In my bar trial, the Deputy Secretary of State testified, Well, you don’t know what you’re talking about because those numbers are based on the current data in the voter rolls, and that number constantly changes as people die or move out of state. Heather Honey, who heads the voter integrity operation in Pennsylvania, told me how many people from election day to February, when Philadelphia and Pittsburgh had finally finished up voting their numbers so we could compare apples and apples. She said there were only 16,000 people that had been dropped from the rolls over those four months. So he lied when he said that that was the explanation for the 120,000 disparity. I said, If we’d been allowed to call Heather as a rebuttal witness, she would have said, Well, it’s 16,000. That means 120 minus 16. High calculated math. Okay, still 104,000 more ballots than votes. That’s a problem in a state where the margin was 80,000.
Georgia
n Atlanta, you had ballots coming in from 490 different precincts all over the county. And every precinct has a different ballot because every precinct has different school boards, has different city council races. And so the ballots has to have a key code to tell the counting machine what key to look to to decide how to count those levels on your ballot. And what they discovered in this forensic audit, you run 490 different precincts in random to create a batch to scan of 100. We’ve got any mathematicians there? That means 100 to the 490th power is the odds that that same sequence would be replicated. In other words, zero possibility of a replication of the exact sequence of that 100. They found in that one week on that one machine, over 5,000 ballots that were in the same identical sequence. In other words, the ballots are being scanned multiple times and counted multiple times, or they’re being scanned once and replicated and counted multiple times. And just yesterday in the Georgia Board of Elections hearing, they identified this problem as well as several others, like 600,000-some ballots that there’s no valid image for.
Colorado
In Mesa County, Colorado, again, somebody made a… She’s about to suffer a felony trial for doing this, but they were going to update the software and the machine machines in her county, all over the state, her order of the Secretary of State. She said, That’s illegal because that update is going to destroy election data. And under federal law, we have to keep all election data for 22 months. And I’m the one who’s on the hook if that data isn’t preserved because I’m the county clerk, the chief elections officer in my county. If that data is not preserved, I could go to jail. So she makes a mirror image copy of the machine data before they do the update, which destroys the data. Now she’s got this thing, and she gives it to the forensic scientist to have a look. They discovered that packets of vote data were deleted and the new ones uploaded in their place. But Mr. Krebs says this is the most secure election in history.
Michigan
Here in Michigan, of course, you started all this stuff with the Antrim County. That would be a great job. I think it was very clever. Let’s look at the school board race or whatever it was, because nobody will pay attention. There Everybody’s focused on the presidential race. We get a judge and say, Yeah, you can look in the machines. – And maybe there’s an explanation on the update and so I think Mr. Alderman, they back out and reverse engineered what happened, and that seems to make a lot of sense. But both of them identified in the course of their review, unbelievable security breaches. They’re still using the same password for admins that is the way everybody accesses it. It’s been in place since 2008. It hasn’t changed. With that password, you can get into the system.
Alderman has been going around the world for a decade decade or more, raising these questions until the people that were concerned about it were on the other side of the political aisle – now he thinks it’s all perfect. He was the guy who testified down in Georgia in a current litigation. They were going to throw out the use of the machines down there. But then they kept his report under seal for a long time and came out, and it showed security breaches. They found a Wi-Fi chip on the motherboard of the machine in Antrum County. I think I recall seeing a news account that your attorney general was going to prosecute Deperno and his team for planting evidence. Except he had already obtained in discovery a copy of the invoice that had a line item for the Wi-Fi chip.
They’re going after the truth-sayers
These are the things we know. It means that the illegality, the ignoring of state statutes that were designed to make it difficult to do do those things and open the door for fraud. And people with a lot at stake walk through that door. Now, let me talk about what’s happened for anybody that dare stand up to this. What is it? What is it? It’s often attributed to George Orwell. I don’t know if he ever actually said it, but it certainly fits with the things he would have said. In an era of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. I like to make a different comparison. The English used to have a law on sedentary libel. It’s one of the reasons we fought a revolutionary war. If you criticized the government, you could be prosecuted for sedentary libel. If what you said was true, that didn’t matter. Truth was not a defense because the greater the truth, the greater the libel. In other words, if what you were saying and criticizing the government was true, it brought them into greater disrepute, and we needed to prosecute you more.
That, ladies and gentlemen, I fear, is the step we’ve taken in this country. People that are simply shining a light on what went on and telling the truth about it are essentially being accused of sedentary libel. I’m an indicted co-conspirator number 2 in DC. I’m indicted, co-conspirator number 3 in Georgia. And last week, I get indicted in Arizona. I had zero communications with the electors in Arizona. I had zero involvement with the election challenges in Arizona.
Don’t Say a Word – It Will Be Used Against You?
When the indictments started coming down, my lawyer who was the first lawyer, the criminal defense lawyer, I had to hire to deal with the completely bipartisan, neutral January sixth committee. (high sarcasm) That’s what Criminal defense lawyers always tell their clients, right out of the box, Don’t say a word.
Don’t say a word. It’ll be used against you. I understand that’s the right advice in almost all circumstances. But I also understood before he did that that these are not normal circumstances, that the battles I’m dealing with have precious little to do with the actual war. These are political battles. For me not to be out speaking means I am ceding the turf on the only battlefield that matters, which is the court of public opinion. And it took him a couple of months to come around to that view, but he agreed, and now I do interviews all the time now, even with hostile press, even with 60 Minutes, all sorts of things. Because the American people need to have a light shine on what went on. Because if they don’t, it’ll go on again and and elections will cease to matter in this country. As Patrisse pointed out, the reason that is so important comes straight from our Declaration of Independence. All men, all human beings are created equal. That’s the fundamental self-evident truth set out in that document. The corollary truths mean that means nobody gets to rule others without their consent. The only legitimate form of government is one based on consent.

The curtain rises on another chapter of legal troubles for corrupt Democrat Senator Bob Menendez (NJ) as jury selection commences Monday in a Manhattan federal court.
The 70-year-old Democratic Senator stands accused of receiving bribes in the form of gold and substantial sums of money, in exchange for wielding his political influence to benefit three New Jersey businessmen.
Menendez, along with two of the businessmen implicated, real estate mogul Fred Daibes and Wael Hana, maintain their innocence in the face of the charges. A third businessman entangled in the accusations has entered a guilty plea and is slated to appear as a witness against his former co-defendants.
In a related case, Nadine Menendez, the senator’s wife, faces similar charges; however, her trial has been deferred to July due to health issues, according to ABC News.
This recent trial is a complex matter that includes multiple gold bars, cash-filled envelopes, a Mercedes, among other items, which, according to prosecutors, were received by Bob Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez. They allegedly accepted these gifts in return for supporting a halal meat monopoly, favoring individuals from Egypt and Qatar, and attempting to interfere with a legal case in New Jersey.
In September 2023, Sen. Bob Menendez, the senior U.S. Senator from New Jersey and the former Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and his wife, Nadine Menendez, were indicted on bribery and corruption charges.
In October 2023, Bob Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent in a superseding indictment.
In January 2024, Bob Menendez (NJ) was hit with a second superseding indictment for praising Qatar in exchange for luxury watches.
“Menendez provided Daibes with these statements so that Daibes could share them with the Qatari Investor and a Qatari government official associated with the Qatari Investment Company,” the indictment said, according to NBC News.
In March 2024, Bob Menendez (NJ) and his wife, Nadine Menendez, were charged with obstruction of justice in a new 18-count indictment unsealed. The new charges are related to a bribery scheme that involves Egypt and Qatar.
Bob Menendez and his wife are under investigation for their involvement in a bribery scheme from 2018 to 2022. The couple, who began dating in February 2018 and married in October 2020, are alleged to have accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes.
The bribes came from Wael Hana, an Egyptian native with connections to Egyptian officials, Fred Daibes, a New Jersey real estate developer and long-time donor to Senator Menendez, and Jose Uribe, involved in the New Jersey insurance and trucking business.
The range of bribes included gold, cash, a luxury convertible, and significant payments towards Nadine Menendez’s home mortgage.
In June 2022, a significant development occurred when the FBI executed a raid at the Menendez residence in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey,. This operation uncovered many elements of the bribery scheme.
According to the DOJ, over $480,000 in cash, much of it concealed in envelopes and hidden in various parts of the house, including clothing and closets, was discovered. A safe in the house contained additional cash and valuables. Over $70,000 in cash was found in Nadine Menendez’s safe deposit box during a separate search.
Some of the envelopes recovered bore the fingerprints and/or DNA of Fred Daibes or his driver, further linking them to the scheme. Other envelopes with Senator Menendez’s name were found in jackets hanging in his closet.
One of the most significant discoveries was over one hundred thousand dollars’ worth of gold bars located within the home. According to reports, 13 gold bars were found.
According to a report by NBC News, the serial numbers on the gold bars correspond with those reported stolen from Fred Daibes during an armed robbery in Edgewater, New Jersey, nearly a decade ago.
For instance, one particular gold bar, produced by Swiss Bank Corporation and carrying the serial number 590005, was identified among the items seized from Menendez’s home during this year’s FBI raid.
This same gold bar had been listed as stolen and later returned to Daibes in 2013. The evidence logs from the earlier incident, bearing Daibes’ signature and initials, meticulously cataloged each gold bar, including their individual serial numbers, thereby linking them to the current investigation.
“At least four gold bars found in the FBI search of Sen. Bob Menendez’s home had been directly linked to a New Jersey businessman now accused of bribing Menendez, the state’s senior senator, Bergen County prosecutor’s records from a 2013 robbery case show,” according to the news outlet.
Today’s trial marks Menendez’s second brush with corruption charges in the last decade; his first trial in 2017 ended with a hung jury.

HUNDREDS of Duke graduates and students in the stadium stands walked out of commencement ceremonies on Sunday prior to Jerry Seinfeld’s speech.
Seinfeld is a staunch Israel supporter and Jewish comedian and star in the most successful sitcom in US history, named after him.
The Duke leftists didn’t care dozens, if not hundreds of the students stood up and walked out before Seinfeld could begin his speech.
Wouldn’t you just LOVE to hire one of these young Gaza-loving radicals at YOUR company?
Jerry Seinfeld received an honorary degree at Duke. It was just too much for the pro-Palestinian leftists.
In December Jerry Seinfeld traveled to Israel and met with freed hostages of Hamas and family members.
According to The Times of Israel.
“Seinfeld told the families that he feels a deep commitment to raising awareness around the world about the issue of the hostages,” according to a statement issued by the Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum Headquarters. He and his family were clearly “deeply affected” by the stories of “the experiences they heard from the family members and the released hostages.”
Hamas barbarians slaughtered 1,200 innocent Jewish civilians on October 7, 2023, and took another 200+ hostage. Hamas still holds 130 hostages in Gaza.
Hamas targeted a youth concert during their massacre.
The Duke leftists really don’t seem to care.

Los Angeles County prosecutors have concluded that a crime likely occurred in connection with the leaked recording of a racist conversation that led to the resignation of then-city council president Nury Martinez (Democrat), but they will not be filing charges.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the investigation traced the source of the recording to a residence linked to two former employees of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, Santos Leon, and Karla Vasquez.
Despite indications of a criminal act associated with the recording, the district attorney’s office cited the lack of prior criminal records and a precedent of not pursuing felony charges in similar cases as reasons for their decision.
The matter has been forwarded to the city attorney’s office to assess the potential for misdemeanor charges.
“The evidence suggests that a crime was committed,” noted a memo from the district attorney’s office per LA Times.
The Gateway Pundit reported in 2022 that the recording captured Martinez using the phrase “parece changuito” (“he’s like a monkey”) to describe council member Mike Bonin’s black son.
Mike Bonin is a gay politician. At least she didn’t call him a queer. Martinez also said of LA DA George Gascon, “fu*k that guy, he’s with the blacks.”
Listen:
Senator Alex Padilla, who previously served as California Secretary of State, expressed his disgust at the “racist, dehumanizing” language used by Martinez and was among those who urged her to step down.
“I am appalled at the racist, dehumanizing remarks made by Los Angeles City officials and leaders that were made public yesterday. As a father, I am offended that an innocent child was a target of these remarks.
“At a time when our nation is grappling with a rise in hate speech and hate crimes, these racist comments have deepened the pain that our communities have endured. Los Angeles deserves,” Padilla wrote.
Following the scandal, Martinez resigned.
“It is with a broken heart that I resign my seat for Council District 6, the community I grew up in and my home,” Martinez said in a statement.

Iranian lawmaker Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani claimed on Friday that Iran possesses nuclear weapons, despite the country’s formal policy under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). This statement came shortly after the UN’s atomic watchdog highlighted Iran’s capacity to produce multiple nuclear bombs, Fox News reported.
Speaking to Rouydad 24, a local media outlet, Ardestani contradicted the official line that Iran adheres to the JCPOA, which aims to prevent the nation from developing nuclear arms in exchange for economic sanctions relief.
“In my opinion, we have achieved nuclear weapons, but we do not announce it. It means our policy is to possess nuclear bombs, but our declared policy is currently within the framework of the JCPOA,” Ardestani said.
This controversial declaration follows a warning by Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who recently stated that Iran has enriched enough uranium for several nuclear bombs.
The international community, particularly the United States and Israel, has expressed grave concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions, with the U.S. withdrawing from the JCPOA in 2018 under President Donald Trump’s administration.
Conservative media exploded after it was revealed Barack Obama’s former Secretary of State, John Kerry, has been secretly meeting with Iranian officials to salvage Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Fox News reported:
Ardestani, who was re-elected to Iran’s quasi-parliament in March, added, “The reason is that when countries want to confront others, their capabilities must be compatible, and Iran’s compatibility with America and Israel means that Iran must have nuclear weapons,”
The Iranian parliament member noted, “In a climate where Russia has attacked Ukraine and Israel has attacked Gaza, and Iran is a staunch supporter of the Resistance Front, it is natural for the containment system to require that Iran possess nuclear bombs. However, whether Iran declares it is another matter.” Fox News Digital sent press queries to Iran’s Foreign Ministry in Tehran and its U.N. mission in New York.
Experts on Iran’s illegal nuclear weapons program warned about the seemingly speculative comments made by Ardestani. Jason Brodsky, the policy director of the U.S.-brd United Against a Nuclear Iran, told Fox News Digital that “Ardestani is only a member of parliament, and he’s not in the inner core of the regime’s nuclear decision-making circle, so while his comments are interesting, I think they have to be weighed properly given his access and standing.”
Just two days before Ardestani’s announcement, the president of the Iranian Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, Kamal Kharrazi, told Al-Jazeera Network Qatar, “I announced two years ago, in an interview with Al-Jazeera TV, that Iran had the absorptive capacity and the capability to produce a nuclear bomb. Iran still has that capability, but we have not made the decision to produce a nuclear bomb. However, if the Iranian interests are threatened in this manner, we may change this doctrine. The military officials in Iran have announced that if our nuclear facilities would be attacked, we may change our military doctrine, with regard to the nuclear facilities.” The U.S.-brd Middle East Media Institute (MEMRI) translated and published Kharrazi’s May 8 interview.
Brodsky said, “Kharrazi’s comments are part of an increasingly loud chorus of threats from Iranian officials that they will change Iran’s nuclear doctrine if Israel attacks them. The current advanced state of Iran’s nuclear program provides it with the luxury to make these threats as it hopes to deter Western policymakers from launching pressure campaigns on Tehran.”
Critics of the Biden administration’s Iran policy argue the White House strategy of de-escalation and containment targeting Iran’s atomic program has backfired. Iran’s regime – the world’s worst state-sponsor of international terrorism – is moving at an astonishingly fast pace to secure an operational nuclear weapon.

A storm of controversy has enveloped Hudson High School following revelations that Jeremiah Earl Stoehr, an 18-year-old senior, has been attending school and participating in sports despite facing severe allegations including rape and kidnapping of a 9-year-old child.
Stoehr was indicted on February 7, 2024, on multiple charges, including rape, kidnapping, and gross sexual imposition, with the alleged offenses occurring on or around December 2, 2023, according to Chasing Liberty. Despite these charges, it has come to light that many within the school were unaware of Stoehr’s legal troubles until recently.
A concerned parent reached out to The Gateway Pundit, claiming, “The county has now even removed his records from public viewing. Corruption at its finest. This student was still able to attend class and play sports. They clearly didn’t want this to get out locally.”
According to Akron Beacon Journal, “The case docket, which included redactions to protect the 9-year-old’s privacy, was removed from the Summit County Clerk of Courts website this week after a judge granted a defense attorney’s request to seal the documents from public view, said James Pollack, a spokesman for the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office. The Beacon Journal began collecting its information for this report before access to these documents was cut off.”
The Gateway Pundit was able to find Stoehr’s mugshot via recentlybooked.com.
Chasing Liberty reported:
Stoehr’s case has stirred a strong backlash from the public, particularly from students and parents connected to Hudson High. Much of the anger centers on Judge Alison Breaux’s perceived lenient treatment of the defendant and then-Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh’s office’s lackluster response.
The court released Stoehr, who pleaded not guilty, on a $25,000 bond, meaning he only had to pay $2,500 to get out of jail. He was placed on “free-range GPS monitoring with maximum pretrial supervision” and must adhere to a curfew, according to court documents. He is also prohibited from having any contact with the alleged victim. The defendant was allowed to continue attending classes at Hudson High School.
However, the defendant’s attorney later filed a motion to modify the condition of Stoehr’s bail, which Judge Breaux, a Democrat elected in 2016, approved. The new conditions permitted Stoehr to attend several school events, such as track meets, a track banquet, and the school prom, while still wearing his ankle monitor. It has not beenn confirmed whether he actually attended prom. Walsh, also a Democrat, resigned in February. The Democratic Party appointed Elliot Kolkovich as her replacement.
A female senior at Hudson High expressed her dismay to FOX 8 News: “When I first got the text from my mom, I felt sick. It’s distressing to see him continue as if nothing happened.”
The sentiment is widespread, with students and parents questioning the decision to allow Stoehr to remain active in school life and upcoming graduation ceremonies.
Despite the community’s outcry, school officials have maintained that they are limited in the information they can disclose due to legal constraints and privacy policies. In a statement to FOX 8, Hudson City Schools clarified:
“Hudson City Schools is aware that one of our high school students is part of a police investigation involving an alleged sexual assault. While we are not permitted to discuss specifics of the case, we do want to be clear that this alleged incident did not occur on school property and did not involve another Hudson City School District student. This is a legal issue with the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office and the Summit County Court System. Supportive and protective measures have been in place to keep all students safe since the issue was first brought to the district’s attention.
“We understand there are questions; however, the district is extremely limited in what information can be released, per the law and student privacy policies. Please know the well-being and safety of all of our students remains our top priority.”
An online petition calling for Stoehr’s suspension until the trial’s conclusion has been gaining traction. From the petition:
As a deeply concerned member of the Hudson, OH community, I am writing to express my alarm and distress over a situation that is currently unfolding in our local high school. An 18-year-old student has been charged with kidnapping and raping a 9-year-old child. Despite these serious allegations, this individual continues to attend school and participate in extracurricular activities like the track team while awaiting trial.
This situation not only raises moral questions but also poses potential risks to other students. We are inadvertently providing an alleged pedophile access to minors under the guise of protecting his educational rights. This is not about denying anyone’s right to education but ensuring the safety of all students until proven innocent or guilty.
According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), juveniles accounted for 23% of those serving time for rape in juvenile facilities across America in 2015. This alarming statistic underscores the need for immediate action when such serious allegations arise within our schools.
We urge Hudson City School District officials and relevant authorities to suspend this student until his trial concludes. It is crucial that we prioritize student safety over any individual’s rights when they stand accused of such heinous crimes.

Judge Juan Merchan last week warned Michael Cohen to stop talking about the Trump hush money case.
A 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyers admitting Trump knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ transaction re-emerged this year as the judge set the trial date.
Last year the Daily Mail obtained a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyer stating Cohen used his own personal money to pay Porn Star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
The letter also states that the Trump Org nor the Trump campaign reimbursed Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.
This directly contradicts Cohen’s testimony – not surprising given Michael Cohen is a convicted perjurer.
Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 felony counts related to the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ transaction.
Michael Cohen’s former legal advisor Robert Costello last year appeared before the Manhattan grand jury to set the record straight.
Costello blasted Michael Cohen as a “convicted perjurer” in remarks to reporters in New York last March.
The prosecutors “cherry-picked” 6 emails out of more than 300 emails, Costello said.
Costello told reporters that Michael Cohen used the money “pursuant to a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) loan” to pay Stormy.
“And why did you take the loan, Michael?” Costello said recalling a conversation he had with Cohen about the payment to Stormy Daniels.
“‘I wanted this secret. I didn’t even want my own wife to know. Much less Melania Trump,’” Costello said recalling Cohen’s remarks about using money from a HELOC to pay Stormy Daniels.

A 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyer to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) blows another hole in Cohen’s testimony.
“In a private transaction in 2016, before the U.S. presidential election, Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford,’ Cohen’s lawyer Stephen Ryan, who worked form McDermott Will & Emery wrote.
“Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly,” the lawyer wrote.
“Contrary to the allegations in the complaint, which are entirely speculative, neither Mr. Cohen nor Essential Consultants LLC made any in-kind contributions to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., or any other presidential campaign committee.” he said.

Steve Buscemi, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in classic films “Reservoir Dogs (1992)” and “Fargo (1996),” was the latest victim of a random assault in Manhattan’s Kips Bay neighborhood last week, the New York Post reported.
The 66-year-old Brooklyn native was walking on Third Avenue around 11:48 a.m. Wednesday when an unidentified assailant punched him, causing significant swelling to his face and left eye. Buscemi was promptly taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment, while the attacker fled the scene and remains at large.
“Steve was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of the random acts of violence plaguing our city,” Buscemi’s publicist told The Post.
“He is recovering and is grateful for the support of his fans and the community, although he remains deeply troubled by the rising violence.”
The NYPD has released surveillance images of the suspect, described as a “a bearded man wearing a baseball cap, a blue t-shirt and black sweatpants.”

Eyewitnesses, including a local worker, reported seeing the incident unfold. “I saw he was with a woman, then he suddenly tripped and fell backwards. It’s unsettling, especially as it gets late,” she recounted.
This assault is not isolated. Last month, Actor Michael Stuhlbarg experienced an unexpected attack while walking near East 90th Street and East Drive around 7:45 p.m. on Sunday.
A homeless man, later identified as 27-year-old Xavier Israel, assaulted Stuhlbarg by throwing a rock at him, which resulted in a minor laceration on the actor’s head.
Stuhlbarg chased his assailant out of the park, leading to the apprehension of Israel by police officers stationed outside the Russian Consulate on East 91st Street near Fifth Avenue.
Israel has been charged with assault and was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court. His criminal history includes three arrests within a span of ten days in 2022 and convictions for misdemeanor assault and attempted robbery.

Pro-Hamas agitators throughout the United States are undermining the freedoms and what our American flag stands for.
In Chicago, at Daley Plaza, on Saturday, a group of agitators raised the Palestinian flag above the American flag. Putting any flag above the American flag within our borders is a disgrace and an insult to our nation. More accurately, it is an insurrection.
Blue cities like Chicago not only don’t take a stand against this insanity, they also celebrate it.

The pro-Hamas chaos, including agitators on college campuses, are all part of a greater problem of weak leadership in the United States under the Biden regime. Earlier this month, crooked Joe uttered a few things about the college agitators and offered no solutions or resolve.
Watch:
The Biden regime spends its time persecuting Trump supporters and pro-life Christians rather than going after anti-American, terrorist supporting agitators who endanger people’s lives.

A local father’s distressing ordeal has captured the attention of thousands online after he posted a video alleging that the principal at White Oak School in Parkville, Maryland, held his 11-year-old son “hostage” and refused to disclose his whereabouts or condition.
The father, with a TikTok username of theprototype88, also known as King B., detailed the incident in a video that has since gone viral with almost 8 million views.
In his emotional account, he claims that he rushed to the school after being informed by the vice principal that his son might have ingested a substance and was acting abnormally.
Upon arrival at the school, the father was reportedly met by the principal, who did not allow him to continue his phone conversation with the boy’s mother and subsequently locked him out of the building without providing any information about his son’s situation. He was later let in by another individual, only to be told to wait for the police to arrive.
According to the father, the police officer who arrived at the scene questioned him aggressively without addressing his concerns. After a brief discussion, the officer dismissed his worries and resumed talking with the principal privately, leaving the desperate father in the dark.
In his video, the father mentioned that his son had been sick with allergies for a couple of weeks and had been admitted to the hospital with his sister. The school’s sudden claim that the boy might have a substance in his system.
The father also states that the principal threatened to call child protective services and remained uncooperative throughout the ordeal.
“So, my son has been sick for a couple of weeks—about a week and a half, two weeks. Everybody knew about his allergies. We were in the hospital with him and his sister; she was sick, and he was sick. He’s starting to get blisters and stuff on his lips. I kept asking what was wrong, what was going on. Today, they say they feel like he got a substance in his system. I fly here, and they won’t tell me where my son is. They won’t show me my son, nothing. And then she threatened to call DSF or DCF, or whatever the hell they call it. I don’t know what it is.”
@theprototype88This woman at the white oak school has been consistently rude, nasty and disrespectful since before my son started school here. Idk if it’s because im black or because im a man but this is ridiculous♬ original sound – King B
King B’s desperate plea to see his son at White Oak School in Parkville escalated into a heated exchange with the law enforcement, as captured in a recent video recording.
Father: “Because this is what’s going to happen. I’m asking for my son one last time. I don’t understand why I’ve been here for an hour and I still don’t know what’s going on with my son. I still have not seen my son. The lady who has care of my son locked me out of the school. I have been asking now for… It’s been an hour to see my son. Now you’re telling me you’re going to wait for a medic. That’s not how this works. You are not the caregiver, and neither are they. I am.”
Police: “Actually, in the school, they’re the caregivers right now.”
Father: “No, no, no. They are the caregivers until I am here. I am here. That’s my son. If I came here and I said, ‘Hey, I’m signing him out,’ that’s what’s going to happen. They don’t have a right to say, ‘Oh, no, you can’t.’ What I’m saying is I want my son, and I want to do what’s best for my son. As a police officer here, I’m trying to help you by saying the best bet in this situation is, ‘Please just go get my son.’… I’m not going to ask anymore because I’ve been demanding it now. I’m demanding it because that is my child. I am his sole caregiver. No, I am his sole caregiver. I’m telling you right now, I promise you that this will not go over well for anybody involved if you all don’t go get my son.”
Police: “I’m going to need you to sit down. Or just hang out right here, okay?”
Father: “And I’m going to need somebody to go get my son.”
Police: “There’s a disruption of school activities that I don’t want to charge you with, okay?”
Father: “You can play these games if you want.”
Police: “That’s what I said. I don’t want to do that, okay?”
Father: “All right?”
Police: “So, hang out here, okay?”
Father: “I’m giving you five minutes, and I’m posting a video and making it viral. I’m telling you right now, if somebody doesn’t go get my son, I promise you it will happen. If you would like to go check, I promise you. If I post this video, it’s going to go viral. And I’m asking you right now to just go get my son because now you’re holding my son hostage. That is not how this works.”
Police: “No, the school has a care and custody agreement. They have to make sure your son is okay. That’s our job.”
Father: “No, I’m coming to get my son to make sure he’s okay. That’s the point. I’m coming to get my son so I can make sure he’s okay. I am here. I am his parent. I am asking for him. That is it. You can sit here and try to twist the words all you want. I know the law, too. So you can say whatever you like. But I’m telling you right now, I need my son. I’m his caregiver. I’m his sole guardian.”
Police: “I’m going to get him checked out.”
Father: “All right. That’s fine. Listen, I’m just making it known that I do not give consent to anything that you are doing. I’m making it known that I’m saying right now, and I’ve been saying for the last hour that I would like to see my son, and you’re denying it. I am making it known right now that it has been over an hour since you told me that there may be something wrong with my child, and I have still got no information from anybody. You’ve been here for the past 20, 30 minutes now. Yes. And so what I’m saying is that it doesn’t make sense for someone to say, ‘Hey, look, your son might be going through something. Something might be wrong with your child. I think you should come up here,’ and then I get here, and no one allows me to see, talk to you, or tell me anything about what’s going on with my child. And so now it’s been over and over. And I’ve been asking for my son this entire time.”
@theprototype88The principal wouldnt come out but this cop could care less about what im saying he just wants to do what they tell him. They are literally holding my son hostage♬ original sound – King B
Later updates from King B clarified that his son was eventually diagnosed with rhinovirus—commonly known as the common cold—and no substances were found in his system after a hospital visit. He criticized the school for assuming the worst without proper evidence or parental consultation, ultimately attributing his son’s appearance to a combination of the virus, allergies, and recent family bereavements that had affected his son’s mental health.
“There was no signs of abuse or assumption that there was any, or neglect, or mistreatment. He did not have any type of substances in his system after all these hours at the hospital and everything else. He was sick. I told him that he was sick, and I told him that he was depressed. My son and I and my kids have all been dealing with a lot. My mother’s passing, their grandfather’s passing, their uncle’s passing, their cousin passing. It’s been a lot,” King B. said in an update.
The school later shifted its concern to the boy’s mental health, suggesting he might pose a risk to himself — a claim that the father felt was a cover-up for their earlier assumptions and mishandling of the situation.
“This could have been handled so much differently if they had just talked to me,” King B stated in a follow-up video. “They jumped to conclusions and made it a mental health issue to cover their initial mistake.”
@theprototype88He has rhinovirus everybody thats it! No substances in his system♬ original sound – King B
In another update, King B also addressed whether he has custody of his son.
“The point of the matter is, if they were trying to keep my child safe or it was a court order, he would not be in my custody directly after. If that was what it was all about, he wouldn’t have been left at the hospital by himself with only me,” he said.

The fake news media today is slandering President Trump for telling American Jews “they should be ashamed” to vote for Joe Biden.
It’s not a secret that Joe Biden is the most anti-Isreal, pro-Hamas president in US history.
It’s also not a secret that Joe Biden announced he was withholding arms from Israel and that he is also withholding information on the whereabouts of senior Hamas officials in Gaza.
But on Sunday CNN hack journalist questioned Senator JD Vance on President Trump’s “anti-Semitic” remarks outside the New York City courtroom.
Numerous leftist media outlets ran with the slander against President Trump – the most pro-Israel US president in over 70 years.
The fake news was upset that Trump called out American Jews who were still supporting Joe Biden after his very blatant anti-Israel policy decisions.
President Trump spoke to reporters after a day wasted in New York City in the Democrat Party’s latest lawfare suit against him.
During his speech Trump called out Jewish Americans who still support the Democrat Party, “What Biden is doing with respect to Israel is disgraceful. If any Jewish person voted for Joe Biden, they should be ashamed of themselves. He’s totally abandoned Israel.”
J.D. Vance agreed.
Trump right again.
Biden’s policy in Israel is equal parts incoherent and immoral. https://t.co/FmGWeNMUBj
— J.D. Vance (@JDVance1) May 9, 2024
Liberal Jews have very publicly exited the Democrat Party the past several weeks as college campuses became ground zero for antisemitism and violence against Jews like nothing we have ever seen in this country. Jewish students are chased through the halls, blocked inside rooms, threatened on campus and refused entry into public spaces. Joe Biden refused to address this anti-Semitic violence.
So now that Jews are leaving the Democrat Party in droves the fake news media had to come up with something to stop the bleeding. So they made up the nonsense that by telling American Jews to vote Republican was “anti-Semitic.”
This is how the far left media operates. Is it really that surprising then that America’s legacy media ranks dead last in trust in media rankings from 46 countries.
So on Sunday J.D. Vance was questioned by Democrat lackey Dana Bash about Trump’s “antisemitic” speech.
How gross.
J. D. Vance knocked it out of the park, refuting the nonsense and pointing out the President Donald Trump was the most pro-Israel president in modern history. That is not up for debate.

Staying in the middle class takes a lot of work, according to a new analysis.
A look at the numbers from the website GOBankingRates.com found that it took a nearly 42 percent increase in income to remain in the middle class from 2012, the midpoint of the Obama administration, to 2022, the middle of the Biden administration.
The site published a state-by-state listing of what it takes to be in the middle class, defining the term as people with an income no less than two-thirds of the median income and no more than double that figure.
Although the national minimum to be in the middle class was $50,099 as of 2022, the numbers vary widely. For example, a Mississippi household earning $35,323 is considered middle class. In Maryland, however, the qualifying income is $65,641, according to the site’s calculations.
The middle class is shrinking. In 1971, 61% of American households were considered to be middle class. That number has dropped to 50% three decades later, a Pew Research found.

Over the decade-long period, Alaska had the smallest increase in income to stay in the middle class at almost 23 percent.
In Oregon, however, the bar to call oneself in the middle class rose by over 53 percent.
A report from Investopedia published in February said the middle class is shrinking, equating middle class with middle income.
That meant annual incomes of between $30,000 and $90,000 per year for single Americans, as well as $42,430 to $127,300 for a couple and $67,100 to $201,270 for a family of four.
What? The economy has already crashed, and it has not finished crashing either. The middle class is shrinking again, as opposed to expanding during the Trump era. Biden is returning to the Obama era, in which the middle class was decimated, and growth was slowed to a crawl: pic.twitter.com/R3juAgj3yh
— Jatslo (@Jatslo) January 28, 2023
As of 2021, the report said 50 percent of Americans were in the middle class, a drop from 1971 data that put the figure at 61 percent.
A study by SmartAsset found that in a large American city, a middle-class income can fall anywhere between $52,000 and $155,000.
That analysis listed New Jersey, with a minimum middle class income of at least $64,224, as the state with the highest income needed to be in the middle class, followed by Maryland at $63,321 and Massachusetts at $62,986.
At the other end comes Mississippi, where $35,142 is required to be in the middle class. Mississippi is followed by West Virginia at $36,216 and Louisiana at $36,940 as the states with the lowest incomes necessary to be middle class.
Some cities have sky-high upper limits for placement in the middle class. For example, in Sunnyvale, California, a household earning $339,562 is at the upper bound of middle class income, followed by Fremont, California; San Mateo, California; Santa Clara, California; Bellevue, Washington and Highlands Ranch, Colorado.
On the low end, there is Detroit, where a household making $24,299 would be middle class.

America’s attention to Arctic security has intensified in recent years. Our force structure has grown deliberately, a word that usually means “on purpose.” For this Alaskan, particularly when Russia and China practice war games with live ammunition in Alaska’s fishing grounds, “deliberate” can also mean “slowly,” or “not fast enough.”
More intensive U.S. security “deliberation” might best be directed now toward Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, too.
In geopolitics, the Antarctic has been quiet to date, or at least less competitive. A great circle air route over the South Pole has less traffic, and southern shipping has less strategic significance to world markets or military logistics. The Antarctic treaty system bans military activity and mineral exploitation on the Southern Continent. Environmental and science cooperation has been stronger at times in the South than in the North polar region.
But great power competition knows no bounds. Russia abandoned international law by invading Ukraine. China, an ally of Russia, has refused to renounce violence in its goal of “reunification” with Taiwan. Both nations have put trust in treaties – and trade deals – at serious risk. Reminiscent of the Cold War, we must wake again to counter superpower “positioning” in far reaching places, from the Moon to the Antarctic.
Now, experts such as General Chuck Jacoby – who earned his Arctic credentials as chief of U.S. Army Alaska, NORAD and the U.S. Northern Command – are warning that the power struggles playing out in the Arctic today could be a preview of what is to come in Antarctica. The time has clearly come to view polar security through an Antarctic lens as well.
To suggest the Antarctic could be a battle zone may sound a bit fantastic. The continent has been demilitarized for over 65 years by a treaty which has also put territorial grabs off limits. But in a 2021 joint essay with the Air Force Academy’s Ryan Burke that was published by West Point’s Modern War Institute, the two caution that “Antarctica faces many of the same realities (and capability gaps) as the Arctic, only delayed by ten to fifteen years” and that “well-intended international agreements rarely stand up against the realities of evolving technology, interests and opportunity.”
Some observers believe that China and Russia may be counting on the Antarctic Treaty System to fall apart or even actively working towards its demise. Apparent collaboration by the two countries to block new conservation areas under the Treaty may help set up a 2048 repeal of its ban on mining and energy production. That could set off global competition for natural resources in and around the continent.
Chinese concerns are often voiced about America’s growing alliance with Australia. Down under, China’s recent construction in Antarctica has caused fear that a dual use spying facility on now exists on Antarctica with potential threats to the security of America and its allies.
Against the backdrop of these challenges, the United States has, unfortunately, been reducing its Antarctic presence. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has had to curtail its Antarctic research programs, with over half of the 131 projects and activities funded for 2023-24 austral summer cancelled due to budget, housing, and logistical problems. We should support robust polar research programs at both ends of the world.
Some U.S. security footwork happening now in the Arctic could pay off in the Antarctic. New U.S. Coast Guard Polar Class heavy icebreakers on order will work both North and South. Army Paratroopers from Alaska who train making winter jumps far above the Arctic Circle also run joint maneuvers with our southern allies, like Australia and Chile. To counter Arctic cold, dark and distance, DoD has hired more ice pilots for Navy Arctic-capable submarines (not all U.S. subs can surface through the ice). An Army Cold Regions Test Center near Delta Junction, Alaska helps military procurers ensure that equipment and weapons work well in extreme cold. DoD’s Ted Stevens Arctic Security Studies Center, and Homeland Security’s Arctic Domain Awareness Center (ADAC), are helping the U.S. fill response gaps with useful innovations for security at both ends of the earth.
There’s more to be done. Antarctica is barely mentioned, if at all, in our services’ strategic plans. While military aircraft and Coast Guard icebreakers support U.S. logistics for Antarctic research now, it doesn’t hurt to build DoD familiarity in the region with more support, too.
When it comes to Arctic security, I try never to cry wolf. But missile technology is changing, and once fringes of the world now shape the defense realities of the world. For too long we have been playing catch up in the Arctic. Defense preparation for the Southern Ocean, compliant with Antarctic treaties, will help us deter war – and maintain surer footing in both polar regions.
Mead Treadwell served as Lt. Governor of Alaska 2010-2014, and a Commissioner of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, 2001-2010, Chair under Presidents G.W. Bush and Barack Obama, 2006-2010, during the last International Polar Year which brought greater science cooperation to both the Arctic and Antarctic.

Pro-Hamas agitators blocking freeways and bridges has become an all too common theme these days.
A group of protestors calling themselves, “Queers for Palestine” blocked the exit to Disney World in Orlando, Florida on Interstate 4 on Saturday.
The agitators claimed Disney supports genocide and chanted, “Free, free Palestine!” while holding up banners.
A small group of anti-Israel protesters from a Florida chapter of Queers for Palestine blocked access to Walt Disney World Saturday — and were promptly arrested.
The keffiyeh-clad crew used their vehicles to block the Disney exit of Interstate 4 in Orlando, alleging that the company “supports genocide.”
The protesters held banners across the ramp and chanted, “Free free Palestine.”
“Some fed-up drivers were seen using the shoulder of the highway to go around the demonstrators — while one angry motorist got out of his car to confront them,” New York Post reported.
Tensions ran high as drivers were losing their patience. One man got out of his car and started to yell at the agitators. Video footage taken by one of the agitators shows them getting into their car and start to drive off. The police were on the scene.

According to a newly unsealed defense motion related to search warrants against Walt Nauta, a lawyer with an attorney-client privilege relationship with President Trump proposed to act as an undercover informant in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case.
Recall that Walt Nauta, a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago was indicted along with Trump last year.
According to the motion filed earlier this month, a lawyer for Trump was enlisted to act as an undercover informant/source in Jack Smith’s classified documents case.
“The affiants hid information about [redacted] who were acting as political enemies of President Trump, including one attorney who had an attorney-client privilege relationship with President Trump and then proposed to act in an undercover parallel role to [redacted].
Well this seems important.

The defense motion argued that the affiants “used attorney-client violations as the basis for evidentiary allegations, but the SCO cannot use information it gathers improperly to justify a search warrant, or as evidence against a third party.”

Cannon last Tuesday afternoon indefinitely postponed Jack Smith’s classified documents trial against Trump after the Special Counsel admitted to tampering with evidence.
Judge Cannon set a second set of pre-trial deadlines to manage pending discovery and disclosure matters.
The Judge vacated the May 20, 2024 trial date. It may be several months until Judge Cannon sets a new trial date.
“The Court also determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture—before resolution of the myriad and interconnected pre-trial and CIPA issues remaining and forthcoming—would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury. The Court therefore vacates the current May 20, 2024, trial date (and associated calendar call), to be reset by separate order following resolution of the matters before the Court, consistent with Defendants’ right to due process and the public’s interest in the fair and efficient administration of justice,” Cannon wrote in an order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
Judge Cannon set hearings on key motions, including Walt Nauta’s motion to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution.
Additionally, a June 21 hearing was set on Trump’s motion to dismiss the indictment based on the unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith.

We are witnessing the unification of the radical Islamic and Marxist movement in America.
A recent investigation into the highly organized nationwide campus protests across America found that several leaders of the anti-Israel movement traveled to communist Cuba for “resistance training.”
The anti-Israel protesters were associated with Black Lives Matter activists who allegedly provided training techniques to the Jew-hating mobs who set up camps on numerous American college campuses.
Investigators say BLM leader Manolo De Los Santos is tied to the movement. Manolo De Los Santos hails Hamas’ terror attacks as “heroic,” and calls for the destruction of Israel.
The New York Post reported that Manelo De Los Santos previously said, “When we finally deal that final blow to destroy Israel, when the state of Israel is finally destroyed and erased from history, that will be the single most important blow we can give to destroying capitalism and imperialism in our lifetime.”
Previously funded by giants like Goldman Sachs and other prominent American companies who were co-sponsoring the radical anti-American, anti-Israel movement.

Spanish EVTV reported:
A DNA investigation revealed that the anti-Israel protests taking place at several US universities are supported by organizations that traveled to Cuba to receive resistance training.
According to the results of the investigation, everything coincides with the Sunday report published by the New York Post, which revealed that a radical organization based in New York City, known as The People’s Forum, familiarized anti-Israel activists with Black Lives Matter protest techniques before they broke into a part of the Columbia University campus.
The information was shared by Diario las Américas
Likewise, they assure that the promoter of the protests is Manolo De Los Santos, a radical activist with deep connections with Cuba and who has important ties with Miguel Díaz-Canel.
Precisely, during the days of last week, Manolo De Los Santos urged the pro-Palestinian student protesters of Columbia to “give Joe Biden a hot summer” and criticized the “Zionist administration” of Columbia for wanting to “look like their masters In Israel”.
The style of the pro-Gaza demonstration is considered by many to be the result of decades of Cuban promotion of anti-Israel sentiment within radical left-wing organizations based in the US.
De Los Santos was held responsible for recreating “the summer of 2020,” a reference to the Black Lives Matter violence that shook several cities in the northern United States.

A federal judge in Wisconsin has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to remove the witness requirement on absentee ballots.
The lawsuit, filed by the law firm of Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, sought to cancel the witness requirement for voters who cast absentee ballots on the grounds that it violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In a scathing ruling, U.S. District Judge James Peterson said that the “demand simply does not make any sense.”
“Under plaintiffs’ interpretation, every witness would have to determine the voter’s age, residence, citizenship, criminal history, whether the voter is unable or unwilling to vote, whether the voter has voted at another location or is planning to do so, whether the voter is capable of understanding the objective of the voting process, whether the voter is under a guardianship, and, if so, whether a court has determined that the voter is competent,” he wrote.
The ruling was celebrated by Derek Lyons, president of Restore Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE), who described it as a failed attempt by liberal activists to undermine the ingrity of America’s electoral process.
Since its founding in 2022, RITE has been extremely active in Wisconsin and is proud to have made yet another contribution to the integrity of elections in that state,” Lyons said. “It’s essential that people voting by mail follow the law in doing so, and Wisconsin has implemented a witness signature requirement that helps ensure they do just that.
This case marks another example of liberal activists’ transparent and shameful efforts to co-opt important civil rights legislation for their partisan agendas. Sadly, it is all too clear that these activists are more interested in making unfounded accusations than in ensuring impartial and accurate elections.
Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project, similarly applauded the ruling:
A federal judge has officially thrown out a lawsuit filed by Left-wing attorney Marc Elias challenging a key election integrity provision requiring absentee ballot signature verification, exposing his radical legal strategy to flood the zone with dozens of frivolous lawsuits. The plaintiff’s theory in this case was yet another example of Elias and the left twisting old statutes to attack modern ballot safeguards.
In this case, they asked a court to conclude that requiring a witness signature on a mail ballot was illegal vouching under the Voting Rights Act. In the Jim Crow era, many places required a registered voter to vouch for the qualifications of a new voter in order to prevent African Americans from voting. Obviously, that law was not intended to prevent widely used election integrity measures for mail ballots. Fortunately, common sense prevailed, and an Obama-appointed judge agreed, wisely dismissing the case.
In simple terms, one might be forgiven for asking why Democrats want to remove the witness requirement unless they were seeking to subvert the system and carry out election fraud. Needless to say, that is exactly what they have in mind.

In a controversial Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” warmonger Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) made controversial remarks comparing Israel’s current conflict with Hamas to the United States’ atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
The senator suggested that nuclear options could be a solution for Israel to end its ongoing conflict involving Iran and Palestine.
During the interview, Senator Graham said, “Why did we drop two bombs, nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to end a war that we couldn’t afford to lose. You don’t understand, apparently, what Israel is facing. They’re facing three groups: Iran, who has received $80 billion in aid… They’re taking that money to kill all the Jews.”
Graham argued that, like the U.S. in World War II, Israel faces existential threats that justify extreme measures: “Give Israel the bombs they need to end the war they can’t afford to lose and work with them to minimize casualties,” he said.
Kristen Welker questioned Graham on the relevance of such extreme measures in today’s technological era. She noted that modern precision weaponry should negate the need for such drastic actions.
Welker also brought up historical precedents where U.S. Presidents, including Ronald Reagan, used military aid as leverage to influence Israeli policies, suggesting that there are alternatives to outright warfare.
Senator Graham responded, “When you’re telling the world you’re going to restrict weapons delivery to the Jewish state who is fighting a three-front war for their survival, it emboldens Iran, it emboldens Hamas.”
“Historians would say, why is it okay for Reagan to do it and not President Biden?” said Welker.
Graham answered, “Why is it okay for America to drop two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end their existential threat war? Why was it okay for us to do that? I thought it was okay. To Israel, do whatever you have to do to survive, again, military officials say the technology has changed.”
Last December, Graham also told FOX News that now is the time to “Hit Iran… Blow it off the map.”
Lindsey Graham: “I’ve been saying for six months now, hit Iran. They have oil fields out in the open. They have the Revolutionary Guard headquarters you can see from space. Blow it off the map.”

This is the same neocon senator who wanted war with nuclear Russia and wanted Putin eliminated.
Emanuel Macron and France promised to send the first Western tanks to Ukraine last year. Lindsey wants US tanks on the ground.
“I appreciate France agreeing to provide light armored combat vehicles to Ukraine – but this is not enough. The goal for 2023 is to give the Ukrainians the weapons they need to militarily defeat the Russian invaders. This requires heavy modern tanks.”
“I am urging the Biden Administration to meet President Zelensky’s request for modern western tanks. The goal is quite simple: Defeat the Russians in Ukraine sooner rather than later. Tanks would change the tide of battle,” he added.

The NBA has fined Jamal Murray $100,000 for his antics during Monday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Murray — a talented guard for the Denver Nuggets — received the fine for “throwing multiple objects in the direction of a game official during live play,” according to the NBA on Tuesday.
The objects in question were a towel and heat pack tossed on the court late in the second quarter as Denver was on its way to a lopsided 106-80 home loss against the Timberwolves.
Officiating crew chief Marc Davis stated post-game that officials were unaware anything was thrown from the bench, had they known, “we could have reviewed it under the hostile act trigger. The penalty would have been a technical foul.”
The incidents swiftly went viral:

— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) May 7, 2024
After Murray threw the heat pack, he was seen throwing the towel in Davis’s direction which landed at his heels. Luckily for Murray, fellow Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope retrieved the heat pack and someone else swept the towel aside before Davis noticed.
Wolves coach Chris Finch said after the game, “We tried to impress upon (the officials) that there’s probably not many fans in the building that have a heat pack. So, it probably had to come from the bench,” before further calling Murray’s actions, “inexcusable and dangerous.”
While Murray left after the game without commenting, it’s hard to disagree with Finch as there is no justification for throwing a temper tantrum, no matter how badly you are losing (if anything, that makes it even worse). These are professional athletes with the eyes of millions on them closely observing their conduct.
These types of outburst only tell fans — especially young ones — that at the height of the sport, raw outbursts towards officials are fine.
A fine of $100,000 is pocket change to Murray, whose salary — According to Sporting News — for the 2023 – 24 season amounts to $33.8 million.
Perhaps adding to the consternation, many fans and pundits expected Murray to be suspended for at least one game for his actions. Murray was not suspended, and scored 24 points in the Nuggets’ big 117-90 road win against the Timberwolves.
Additionally, there is a real worry that the young and impressionable fans who will never make it as professional athletes — the kids who will grow up and try to find actual jobs to earn a living — will still glean something from this tantrum.
In seeing that type of behavior, they’re led to believe this is what success looks like.
Don’t bother getting along with the people who make the rules. Act out when you feel slighted, take the hit, and move on.
Murray’s overall message here is blaming someone else for your shortcomings. In Denver’s loss, players should’ve look inward with a sense of responsibility, instead of lashing out like a toddler.
Murray is by no means alone. This mentality exists broadly in our culture.
To no surprise, people who think like this don’t go far in life.
Murray and the Nuggets will try to even up their second round series when they play the Timberwolves in Minnesota tonight.

In a letter dated April 8, 2024, addressed to Chief Judge Swain of New York, Ashley Biden, daughter of Joe Biden, confirmed the authenticity of her previously ‘stolen’ diary.
The diary, which has sparked considerable public and media attention due to Joe Biden’s perverted acts, became a subject of controversy when excerpts were leaked online.
Ashley Biden’s letter, obtained by the New York Times, was submitted as part of a judicial proceeding against Aimee Harris, one of the individuals convicted of ‘stealing’ and selling her personal journal.
In her correspondence, Ashely Biden expressed profound distress over the theft and subsequent public dissemination of her private thoughts, which she described as “stream-of-consciousness” musings meant for personal healing.
She defended the content of her diary, saying it was “grossly misinterpreted” and “lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love.”
I am deeply saddened that I even have to write this letter because my personal private journal was stolen and sold for profit. The point of the theft, I assume, was to be able to peddle grotesque lies by distorting my stream-of-consciousness thoughts. The reason I have decided to not attend tomorrow’s sentencing in person is because it would only increase my pain. Nonetheless, I write to ask Your Honor to sentence the defendant to time in prison.
The defendant’s actions constitute one of the most heinous forms of bullying, not to mention a complete violation of my privacy and personal dignity. After being the victim of a crime in my early twenties, I developed PTSD. The journal that was stolen was part of my efforts to heal. I am a private citizen, targeted only because my father happened to be running to be President. In other words, the extensive work I have done to move past my trauma was undone by Ms. Harris’s actions. The defendant’s actions have created a constant environment of anxiety, fear, and intimidation in which my innermost thoughts are constantly distorted and manipulated.
Although this criminal act happened more than three years ago, because of the publicity it drew-exactly as Ms. Harris intended—I am constantly re-traumatized by it. I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online. Repeatedly, I hear others grossly misinterpret my once-private writings and lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love. Her actions were not only re-traumatizing to me, but constituted a horrific trauma in and of themselves. This ongoing harm is a direct result of Ms. Harris’s intentional actions.
I ask Your Honor to sentence Ms. Harris to time in prison followed by lengthy probation. She should be held accountable for what she has done. Not only did she demonstrate a complete lack of morality, but she lacks any respect for the rule of law as well. Among other things, she has failed to appear in court 12 times.
My goal in asking Your Honor to impose a term of incarceration is to ensure that another woman isn’t bullied and shamed like this ever again. The despair I have often felt will never truly go away.
But I ask Your Honor to hold Ms. Harris accountable so that she thinks twice before doing it to someone else. I have spent much of my life trying to speak up for those who cannot find their voices. I am fortunate enough to have found mine, and I use it today—and every day—to make sure that bullies are held accountable.
Finally, I worry that a non-incarceratory sentence will send a message to her and to others like her-that it is okay to violate and exploit others for your own personal gain, regardless of the humiliation and pain it causes. Please send a message that these types of damaging criminal actions will not be tolerated. I thank Your Honor for your consideration.
It can be recalled that Aimee Harris, 41, was sentenced by Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to prison last month, followed by a period of home confinement for her role in the alleged theft and distribution of a diary belonging to Ashley Biden.
Aimee Harris, 39, found Ashley Biden’s diary at a halfway house in Palm Beach in 2020 and sold it to Project Veritas for $40,000.
As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, Ashley Biden left her diary under a mattress at the Palm Beach rehab home following a stay at a treatment facility.
In a January 2019 entry, Ashley Biden recalled how she used to shower with her father, Joe Biden, and suggested it may have contributed to a sex addiction.
The diary describes Ashley and her father, Joe Biden, taking showers together at an inappropriate age.
““Hyper-sexualized @ a young age. What is this due to? Was I molested. I think so – I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma – I remember not liking the woolzacks house; I remember somewhat being sexualized with [a cousin]; I remember having sex with Friends @ a young age; showers w/my dad (probably not appropriate). Being turned on when I wasn’t supposed to be,” according to the National File.
** You can read the entire diary contents here.
James O’Keefe was later the victim of a late-night FBI raid and was arrested by the Biden regime.
US District Judge Analisa Torres, an Obama appointee, said Project Veritas’s First Amendment claims were “inconsistent with Supreme Court precedent.”
The judge also said of Project Veritas 1A claim: ‘O’Keefe, Veritas couldn’t claim it was protecting identity of confidential source from disclosure after two individuals publicly pleaded guilty.’
In 2022, Aimee Harris and co-defendant Robert Kurlander, who found Ashley Biden’s diary at a halfway house, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property.
Despite Harris’s personal plea and her defense attorney’s appeal for leniency based on her traumatic past and responsibilities as a mother, the prosecution highlighted Harris’s pattern of disrespect for the law.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Sobelman claimed that Harris’s actions were not only unlawful but were intended to harm the Biden family and influence the political landscape.
Chief US District Judge Laura Taylor Swain described the act of selling the diary as “despicable,” highlighting the privacy invasion and the potential political motivations behind the sale.
Harris was ordered to serve a one-month prison sentence, pay a $20,000 fine, and undergo three years of probation.
Harris is set to begin serving her prison term in July, while Kurlander’s sentencing is pending.

Republican Senator Mike Lee was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the SAVE Act, a congressional bill that would require proof of US citizenship to register to vote.
“Under Federal law, only citizens are allowed to vote in Federal elections. Here’s the tragic thing Maria, over the last 3, 3 and a half years, since the Biden administration has been in power, they have let in about 12 million illegal aliens,” Senator Lee said.
“The Supreme Court has interpreted it as prohibiting those at the state level who register people to vote from requiring the production of evidence of documents proving citizenship,” Senator Lee continued.
“What that means is that a person can fill out a form as long as they check the right box and sign their name, and are willing to lie, they can vote in Federal elections even if they are not citizens and they couldn’t prove it because they’re not citizens. The SAVE act would fix that loophole. It would make sure that actually, it is going to be American citizens voting in Federal elections,” Senator Lee continued.

Senator Mike Lee’s concern for illegals and non-citizens voting is not unfounded. Under the Biden regime in the last 3 plus years, a shocking 10 to 12 million illegal aliens have invaded the United States.
That number equals about the population of 41 individual states.
Joe Biden himself even referred to illegal aliens as “voters.” The quicker the left can “legitimize” illegals to vote, the closer they will be to stealing another election.
The coordinated effort is most evident with the Department of Homeland Security ran by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Since the Biden regime was installed in 2021, he has intentionally kept the border open and refuses to take responsibility for the millions of illegals that have entered the US.
In February, Secretary Mayorkas was on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and clearly indicated that he was not responsible for the border crisis.
“Do you bear responsibility for what is happening at the border?” Kristin Welker asked.
“We don’t bear responsibility for a broken system,” Mayorkas continued.

Left-wing actor and Trump-hating comedian Michael Rapaport has unleashed a scathing attack on Joe Biden, declaring his withdrawal of support in a recent video posted on X.
In the video, Rapaport refers to Biden as “Smoking Joe” and “Cadaver Joe,” criticizing the Biden’s current foreign policy decisions, particularly the handling of military aid during ongoing conflicts involving Israel and the plight of American hostages.
“You dumb old motherf—er. You’re not sending weapons to Israel during a war while American hostages, American hostages and hostages from 22 countries are still in that f****** deep hole. You’re not sending weapons now, you dumb f***,” Rapaport said.
This comes after Joe Biden said he would stop sending bombs and artillery shells to Israel if it launches a major invasion of Rafah, the final stronghold of Hamas terrorists.
“Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett in an exclusive interview.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden said.
Biden also said, “I’ve made it clear to Bibi and the war cabinet: They’re not going to get our support, if in fact they go on these population centers.”
However, Israel has officially defied the Biden regime and started their offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah to finish off Hamas after calling the Islamist terror group’s claim that they accepted a ceasefire a lie.
Now, the leftwing actor, visibly agitated, declared his shift in political allegiance by stating, “I never, ever, ever thought I would say this, okay? But I could promise you this right now, smoking Joe Biden, cadaver Joe Biden, me, Michael Rapaport, I’m not voting for you. You’re not getting my vote. And plenty of us also ain’t voting for you.”
He also admitted that voting for former President Trump in 2024 is “on the table.”

In an unusual move, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced coffee prices will no longer be factored into the CPI inflation data.
This is another way for the US government to fudge the inflation numbers to help Joe Biden in the middle of a presidential election.
The overwhelming majority of Americans consume coffee every day. According to Drive Research, 73% of Americans drink coffee every day.
This week’s April CPI inflation report will NOT include coffee price inflation.
Coffee prices are exploding which explains why the Biden Regime doesn’t want it factored into the inflation data in the middle of a presidential election.
Inflation is on the rise again this year thanks to Joe Biden’s tax-and-spend policies.
Consumer prices rose 0.4% in February – less energy and food prices. Grocery prices are up 30+%. Gas prices are soaring.
“Since September 2023, coffee prices are up a MASSIVE 78%.” the Kobeissi Letter, a blog on capital markets said.
This is unusual:

He’s so desperate to distract from the inflation that he lied to CNN’s Erin Burnett during a dumpster fire interview last week.

Inflation was 1.4% when Biden took office in January 2021.
Joe Biden blamed people’s financial struggles on “corporate greed.”

J.K. Rowling has long been a target of extreme hate and frequent death threats from trans activists and the woke mob for her unwavering belief that men cannot become women.
The Gateway Pundit has reported on the transgender community and their allies directing their rage against Rowling for the sin of expressing her personal opinions on transgender issues.
On Saturday, renowned author J.K. Rowling was once again at the center of controversy following her remarks about the world’s first openly transgender football manager, which many have deemed offensive.
Rowling responded to a social media post by LGBTQ+ charity Pride, which celebrated Lucy Clark, previously known as Nick, a transgender referee who recently became the first trans manager in the top five divisions of English Women’s football.
“When I was young all the football managers were straight, white, middle-aged blokes, so it’s fantastic to see how much things have changed,” she wrote.

Rowling responded, “Does this apply to any other demographic, Landon? Do I get to be black if I like Motown and fancy myself in cornrows? What if I claim the authentic me has always been black and that you’re being racist to me? Would that be OK, or would you find it ludicrous and deeply offensive?”

Popular Arizona Senate Candidate Kari Lake joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning.
During their discussion, Kari described how Joe Biden’s open border crisis is endangering every American. Kari pointed out that border ranchers are seeing 8-9 illegal alien “gotaways” every day on their land. These same ranchers saw 8-9 “gotaways” a year when Trump was in office!
Kari Lake shares the story of an Arizona rancher near the US/Mexico border:

Kari Lake then pivoted and described how Democrats are already stealing votes in the 2024 election.
Maria Bartiromo: As we report all the time, hundreds of people were already apprehended who were on the terrorist watchlist. Do you believe one of the motivations here is to get illegals, foreigners, to vote for the Democrats?
Kari Lake: Oh, absolutely. A 1,000%! Otherwise, they would be working hard to get the Save Act through, which will prevent that. Instead, in every state around the country, you’re seeing Democrats fight tooth and nail any piece of legislation which will prevent illegals from voting, which will solidify and codify that already existent law.
What they want, Maria, we’re not going to see all these people pouring across the border showing up at polling places. What they What they want is to have a line in the voters’ rolls so that somebody can vote for that person. That’s why they’re asking them to register to vote when they get set up for Medicare and Medicaid, because they’re giving them all of these services. They’re asking them to sign up to vote. Then they have a line in the voter roll, and somebody will vote under that name.
Kari is exactly right. Democrats are signing up illegals at the border – sharing their registrations with leftist groups – and these groups are ready to make sure someone votes for them in 2024.
This is totally illegal and will likely destroy this country. But it is effective and Democrats lust for power above all else.

Slayman died last year but the story is currently making headlines.
According to CoPilot AI: The groundbreaking procedure took place at Massachusetts General Hospital on March 21, 20241. Unfortunately, Rick Slayman passed away approximately two months after the transplant.
After initially receiving the surgery, surgeons at the Massachusetts General Hospital where Slayman received the transplant initially stated the transplant would last for at least two years.
In a statement, Massachusetts General Hospital gave its condolences to Slayman’s family but shared they had no “indication” the transplant led to Slayman’s death.
The family of Slayman, in a press release, thanked the surgeons and shared, “Their enormous efforts leading the xenotransplant gave our family seven more weeks with Rick, and our memories made during that time will remain in our minds and hearts.”

Per AP:
The first recipient of a genetically modified pig kidney transplant has died nearly two months after he underwent the procedure, his family and the hospital that performed the surgery said Saturday.
Richard “Rick” Slayman had the transplant at Massachusetts General Hospital in March at the age of 62. Surgeons said they believed the pig kidney would last for at least two years.
The transplant team at Massachusetts General Hospital said in a statement it was deeply saddened by Slayman’s passing and offered condolences to his family. They said they didn’t have any indication that he died as a result of the transplant.
The Weymouth, Massachusetts, man was the first living person to have the procedure. Previously, pig kidneys had been temporarily transplanted into brain-dead donors. Two men received heart transplants from pigs, although both died within months.
In September of 2023, The University of Maryland Medical Center transplanted a genetically modified pig heart into Lawrence Faucette.

In a recent episode of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized Stormy Daniels’ credibility in the ongoing hush money trial involving former President Donald Trump, orchestrated by Soros-backed New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg.
Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
The payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.
Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”
Stormy, a former stripper and former porn star, testified last week to irrelevant yet very salacious details about her sexual encounter with Trump that allegedly happened many years ago.
During a panel discussion, Maher highlighted inconsistencies in Daniels’ testimony, which he believes could undermine the case against Trump.
Maher, referencing his 2018 interview with Daniels, pointed out her previous statements where she denied being coerced into any sexual encounters with Trump.
“You say it’s not a Me Too case,” Maher asked Daniels in the 2018 footage.
“It is not a Me Too case,” Daniels responded. “I wasn’t assaulted. I wasn’t attacked, or raped, or coerced or blackmailed…. They tried to shove me in the Me Too box to further their own agenda. And first of all, I didn’t want to be part of that because it’s not the truth and I’m not a victim in that regard.”
Reacting to Daniels’ current testimony, Maher highlighted inconsistencies, “That’s not what she’s saying now.”
He continued to dismantle her credibility by pointing out her current use of “Me Too buzzwords” and expressed doubts about her claim of blacking out during the encounter with Trump.
“She said she blacked out. Blacked out? She’s a porn star. Do you really think she blacked out? I mean, a porn star is used to having sex with people she does not know. That’s the job… I just think she’s not a good witness,” Maher said.
Daily Mail reported:
[Stormy Daniels] told the trial on Tuesday that she could not remember how she ended up on a Nevada hotel bed with Trump and how he allegedly failed to wear a condom.
Coming out of the bathroom she said she was startled to find Trump on the bed wearing only boxer shorts and his t-shirt.
Daniels said she ‘wasn’t expecting someone to be there minus their clothing.’
She said Trump stood between her and the door, adding ‘He said I thought we were getting somewhere…If you ever want to get out of that trailer park’.’
At one point, she says she ‘just blacked out,’ although she wasn’t drugged, and she and Trump were just drinking water.
Asked if the pair ended up on the bed having sex, she replied simply, ‘Yes.’
Asked to briefly describe the event, she said, ‘Next thing I know, [I] was on the bed, the opposite side of the bed, I had my clothes and my shoes off. My bra was still on. Missionary position.’
She said she did not remember how who took her clothes off but did remember that the sexual encounter was brief.
Trump’s attorneys filed a motion for mistrial on Thursday after Stormy Daniels took the witness stand and spewed lies in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial against Trump in New York City.
Stormy Daniels can’t seem to keep her mouth SHUT outside of this case — and continues to discredit herself more and more as the days go on in regards to her reliability.
Stormy Daniels wrote in 2018, “Over the past few weeks I have been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago. The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 20011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018. 1 am not denying this affair because i was paid “hush money” as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. “I am denying this affair because it never happened.”

President Trump blasted the Soviet-style Democrat lawfare trials and whipped the crowd up into a frenzy.
“I’ve been indicted more than the great Alphonse Capone!” Trump said referring to notorious mobster Al Capone, AKA, “Scarface,” who was indicted on tax evasion charges during the prohibition era.
“And I got indicted more than him. On bullsh*t, too!” Trump said.
The Jersey crowd erupted: “Bullsh*t! Bullsh*t! Bullsh*t!”

It’s not quite to the point where the hashtag “OscarsSoBroke” will be trending, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is passing the hat around the globe.
A $500 million fundraising campaign was launched Friday with the goal of reaching the target by the 2028 Oscars, which would mark the 100th Academy Awards.
This news comes just a few months after a generally poorly received 2024 Oscars, as well.
Although Academy officials talked about its global future in announcing the drive, it comes at a time when TV viewership of the annual awards show has been trending downward, according to an Agence-France Presse report posted on Barron’s.
The Academy’s contract with ABC to broadcast the show is up for renewal, and the show will face the reality that ratings are down from historic levels.
This year, for example, viewership of the show was about 21 million people, down from about 40 million viewers a decade ago.
The “global revenue diversification and outreach campaign” is dubbed Academy 100, according to Deadline.
“The future of the Academy is global, and Academy 100 will deepen our worldwide reach and impact,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer said.
“The Academy will soon enter its second century, and we want to ensure that we continue to be the preeminent leader of our international film community. Like all healthy organizations, the Academy needs a sustainable and diverse base of support, and we are deeply grateful to Rolex and all of our partners for helping us launch this important and forward-looking initiative.”
The Academy said it has commitments for more than $100 million from sponsors that include Rolex and Delta Air Lines.
The Academy said the money will “endow and fund programs that recognize excellence in cinematic artistry and innovation; preserve our film history; enable the creation of world-class film exhibitions, screenings, and publications; train and educate the next generation of diverse global film artists; and produce powerful digital content.”
The aim of the event, held in Rome, was to highlight the Academy’s global purpose in its campaign, according to the Associated Press.
Writing for USA Today, Kelly Lawler noted that the 2024 show “started five minutes late, and it was only downhill from there.”
“The Oscar broadcast didn’t feel like anybody’s biggest night. It felt small, unimportant, skippable. It didn’t get anywhere close to the urgency or relevancy of the nominated films,” she wrote.
Lawler opined that “90 percent of Sunday’s broadcast could have happened at any Oscars (or really, any awards show) any year. The gently jabbing jokes, the expected winners, the overlong and overwritten bits, the dull speeches − they are so generic as to be soporific.”
“For some producers and hosts, a boring Oscars is far preferable to a bad one, and especially better than a trainwreck of a ceremony with say a slap or a wrong best picture winner announced,” she wrote.
“But as ratings for awards shows dwindle, it’s worth trying just a little harder to try to persuade people to spend their Sunday nights watching the rich and famous hand each other golden trophies,” Lawler continued.
She added: ‘This is Hollywood, after all. These people are supposed to know how to put on a show. Otherwise, why are we watching?”

World-famous cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough recently revealed startling figures about the immense earnings doctors received for pushing the COVID-19 injections.
On the Tommy T Podcast, Dr. McCullough claimed that a typical doctor could make an extra $250,000 if they injected a substantial portion of their patients.
More specifically, if a doctor injected 75% of his or her patients at $250 per newly-injected person, that would end up being around $250,000.
This revelation was discovered through a leaked Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield document.

Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates is behind an organization seeking to vaccinate cows with the aim of preventing so-called climate change.
According to a report from Axios, Gates is the leader of an investment fund behind ArkeaBio, a Boston pharamceutical company that is seeking to develop a livestock vaccine that will help reduce global vaccine emissions.
The outlet reports:
ArkeaBio, a Boston developer of a vaccine to reduce livestock methane emissions, raised a $26.5 million in venture capital funding led by an investment fund founded by Bill Gates.
Why it matters: Caring about cow farts (or burps) has become a political punchline, but they’re estimated to create more than 5% of global greenhouse gasses. Vaccines could be a relatively low-cost, scalable solution, particularly as food demand increases.
…
The whole thing feels a little dystopian — giving animals injections so they cook the planet a little less before we cook some of them — but agribusiness sailed over the dystopian hurdle long ago.
Gates is notorious for his obsession with vaccines and was a staunch advocate of the COVID-19 vaccine, despite the fact that it was neither safe nor effective.
Last year, The Gateawy Pundit reported how Gates had Gates invested in Rumin8, an Australian climate technology company exploring dietary supplements for cows that will similarly stop them from farting.
“Rumin8’s most advanced product reproduces the bioactive contained in red seaweed (Asparagopsis) and has been shown to reduce methane production in livestock rumen by up to 95%, whether in liquid, solid or slow-release dose formats,” the company said in a press release at the time.
At the World Economic Forum conference in January, Gates also explained how “next-generation vaccines” promise longer duration, broader coverage, and the shift towards needle-free administration.
“We make sure that for all these vaccines, there’s enough capacity; there’s competition. So the prices keep going down, and we will have new vaccines,” said Gates. “We’ll have a TB vaccine, malaria vaccine, HIV vaccine, and even the things like COVID vaccines; we need to make them have longer duration, more coverage. And we’re going to change instead of using a needle to use a little patch.”
