MAGA: Make Argentina Great Again – Buenos Aires Press Publishes Favorable Report on President Milei’s Meeting with President Trump at CPAC 2024

In case you missed it… Argentina President Javier Milei “The Lion” spoke at CPAC on Saturday. And then he met President Trump backstage before the former US President’s speech to the conservative conference.

When the two embraced, President Trump was a bit taken back by Milei’s energy and joy! It really was an incredible scene captured by Presidential Spokesperson Manuel Adorni.

Milei told Trump, “President! I’m very happy to meet you. You are very generous to me.”

President Trump responded, “You’re doing a great job. MAGA! Make Argentina Great Again! Come on, let’s have some pictures.”

Milei was filled with joy and energy.

His speech later was spectacular.

The Buenos Aries Times later wrote a very fair and positive article about Milei’s appearance at CPAC.

President Javier Milei greeted former US president Donald Trump in Washington DC on Saturday as he made a headline speech to the Republican Party’s most conservative wing in the United States of America.

Known for their distinctive hair, spicy oratory and rejection of traditional political norms, Milei, 53, met Trump, 77, backstage prior to their speeches at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), an event in Washington that draws together some of the former US president’s biggest backers.

The 90-second encounter, in which Milei is overcome by emotion and greets Trump enthusiastically, was filmed and published on social media by Presidential Spokesperson Manuel Adorni.

“I’m very happy,” said Milei. “You are very generous to me,” added the libertarian.

Afterwards, the former US president mentioned the far-right leader in his speech to the conference.

“He is one of the few who can make Argentina great again,” Trump said of Milei, who was present in the auditorium at the time.

“I want to thank the president of Argentina, who had a lot of publicity. He is a great gentleman, he is ‘MAGA’: Make Argentina Great Again. He can do it. Javier Milei. Thank you Milei, thank you very much, it’s a great honour to have you here,” said Trump, who was introduced to the crowd as the United States’ “next president.”…

…In a lengthy speech later to the main auditorium, Milei adapted Trump’s campaign slogan to his own political journey, declaring that his government “will not give up on making Argentina great again.”

Milei, who has slashed government spending since taking office last December, is intending to put Argentina back on the road to growth.

In the grip of a deep crisis with inflation running at 254 percent per annum, the La Libertad Avanza leader is facing resistance to his austerity approach on the streets and in Congress. Poverty current affects more than half of the population and soup kitchens are demanding food aid for the impoverished.

In his CPAC address, the head of state blamed Argentina’s decline on socialism and said he would stop at nothing to end the crisis.

“The corrupt caste is made up of thieving politicians, who put their privileges above the welfare of Argentines. By corrupt businessmen, who do business with corrupt politicians. By corrupt media outlets, who are very angry with us because we eliminated their state advertising,” Milei declared, who appeared alongside large US flags.

“Also trade unionists who take care of their business, against the people. And professionals who live off the religion of the state. Therefore, they will become aware of the great fight we are putting up, but we are not going to give up on making Argentina great again,” he said to applause from the crowd.

Doctors Confirm Vaccine Connection After Young Ontario Woman Paralyzed Following Moderna Shot – Then Offer Her Euthanasia as Remedy (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hᴏft — February 26th 2024 at 07:45

A young mother’s life has been turned upside down in the wake of receiving her Moderna COVID-19 booster shot, which has left her paralyzed from the neck down, The Canadian Independent reported.

Kayla Pollock, a 37-year-old from Mount Albert, Ontario, has had her vibrant life of motherhood and community involvement brought to a sudden halt due to what doctors have diagnosed as a severe vaccine-related reaction.

Kayla, who suffered an abusive childhood, had overcome her past to find joy in her work as a behavioral trainer for exotic animals and later as an educational assistant. The single mother, known for her active lifestyle, was compelled to get vaccinated to ensure she could continue visiting her father in his long-term care facility.

However, after receiving her booster shot on January 11, 2022, Kayla began experiencing alarming symptoms, culminating in her complete paralysis less than two weeks later. Despite initial skepticism from emergency department staff, an MRI revealed a significant lesion on her spinal cord.

A neurologist, documented on an audio recording, expressed his belief that the vaccine was the likely cause of Kayla’s condition, a view later confirmed with a diagnosis of transverse myelitis – a rare inflammatory disorder caused by damage to the spinal cord.

The once active mother has since spent several months in hospital and rehabilitation centers, even being offered MAID – Medical Assistance in Dying – which she refused.

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada is a legal and voluntary form of euthanasia, allowing eligible adults to request assistance from a medical practitioner to end their lives.

Her condition has resulted in the loss of her job, home, and the ability to co-parent her son, reducing her to reliance on provincial disability support and the assistance of care workers for her daily needs.

Although Kayla has attempted to secure compensation through Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), her application has faced numerous delays and is still pending.

Meanwhile, her story has gained the attention of Veterans 4 Freedom, which has set up a GiveSendGo campaign to help her raise funds for a service dog. This service dog would not only help with daily tasks but also provide companionship to alleviate the isolation of her condition.

The donations will also be used to secure a wheelchair-accessible van that meets the specific size and weight requirements of Kayla’s electric wheelchair.

“Due to her story spreading around the globe, we believe we can fundraise enough to purchase a wheelchair van to improve her quality of life. Kayla requires a wheelchair-capable van that is specific to the size and weight of her electric wheelchair.  There are several companies in Canada that are able to provide Kayla with the vehicle she needs.  We will be talking to several different dealerships over the next few weeks to discuss options.  As soon as quotes are available, we will post the details and update the goals,” according to the update on GiveSendGo.

As for Kayla, her struggle continues each day with the hope that her story will bring awareness and change.

ICYMI: Chris Wray’s FBI Forced a Young Mother to Stand Outside Barefoot with Her 4-Yr-Old Boy in His Pajamas in 12° Weather While They Ransacked Her Home – She Lost Her Baby the Next Day

By: Jim Hoft — February 26th 2024 at 08:00

Chris Kuehne was sentenced on Friday for his actions on January 6, 2021 at the US Capitol.

Chris is a 22-year veteran who received numerous medals and awards, including the Purple Heart, a Navy Commendation Medal with Valor, and a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Valor for actions in combat.

Chris has personally sacrificed his blood, sweat, and tears serving our country and has paid the price for his duty and continues to live with debilitating and invisible injuries. Even before this Chris has protected people and helped people in need. As a 9-year-old Cub Scout he was awarded the Boy Scouts of America’s highest honor, the Medal of Merit, for saving his young sister from a burning car.

On January 6, 2021, Chris went inside the Capitol but did not cause any harm or damage – in fact, he cleaned trash off the floor, helped to stop theft of government property, asked people to leave the building, and went up to Capitol Police Officers to ask how he could help. Chris was also set up by an FBI operative that day. Chris committed no violence and did nothing wrong.

One month later, in the early morning of February 11, 2021 Chris, his four-year-old child, and his wife Annette, who was pregnant at the time were awakened to sirens, cell phone rings, and bursts of colorful lights reflecting through our windows.

Annette later went public about the raid, “The FBI instructed Chris to come outside immediately. Our 4-year-old was awakened from the chaos, and I picked him up and ran downstairs to open the front door. Our house, street and neighboring streets were completely surrounded by armed FBI and law enforcement. It was a scene that we see so many times in the movies, but now it was here at my house! There were three large armored tactical vehicles parked on my front, side and back yard, and police vehicles that extended throughout the entire community. I open the door, and for a second, I didn’t realize that there were about twenty FBI SWAT Team members with semi-automatic rifles pointed at my son and I. We were covered by the bright red lasers pointed at our faces, chests, and various points on our bodies.”

Armed FBI soldiers terrorize young family during early morning raid on their home. The FBI lit up the 4-year-old son and mother with lasers as they raided the home after US veteran Chris Kuehne was seen inside the US Capitol on Jan. 6 picking up trash. Something is very wrong in America today.

Chris Wray’s FBI militiamen forced Annette outside with her four-year-old boy in his pajamas.  They were forced to stand there on the cold cement.

It was 12° in Olathe, Kansas that morning. And the heartless morons in the FBI forced a young pregnant woman her little child to freeze outside in the cold morning air.

Over the weekend, The Gateway Pundit posted exclusive video of Annette holding her crying son as armed FBI agents raided their home! The boy was terrified and crying after FBI goons lit up his little face with red lasers and woke him up with armored vehicles surrounding their home.

We are losing America to these heartless tyrants.

The little boy is crying for his daddy. This was taken the morning of the raid.

** Please support Christopher Kuehne and his family in their fight against political persecution here.

Annette Kuehne was forced outside barefoot in February in Kansas.  Annette miscarried their baby the next day.

Did you notice how the one FBI agent was attempting to quiet the terrified boy — as the rest of the armed agents ran by the two to enter their home?  Did that make you feel sick to your stomach, too?

Chris Kuehne was sentenced on Friday, February 23, 2024 in a DC courtroom.

Chris, a decorated war veteran who was picking up trash inside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was sentenced to:
** 75 days in prison
** 60 days of home detention
** 2 years of probation.

He needs to be taught a lesson.

His son will forever be traumatized for this wicked act by his government.

For the record, Chris was setup by an FBI operative who was embedded in his Kansas City group before Jan. 6.

** Please support Christopher Kuehne and his family in their fight against political persecution here.

The Gateway Pundit has been following the Chris Kuehne case for years now.

Ron DeSantis to Sign Bill Into Law Allowing Release of Jeffrey Epstein’s Grand Jury Documents from 2006 Investigation

By: Jim Hᴏft — February 26th 2024 at 08:15

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is slated to sign a bill that would enable the release of grand jury documents related to the 2006 investigation of sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

For context, in July 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) initiated an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier, under the codename “Operation Leap Year“. The probe culminated in a 53-page indictment by June 2007, exposing the depths of Epstein’s alleged sex crimes involving minors.

However, the case took an unexpected turn when Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida at the time, brokered a plea deal. This agreement, negotiated with the assistance of attorney Alan Dershowitz, effectively granted Epstein immunity from all federal criminal charges, along with four named co-conspirators and any potential unnamed accomplices.

The Miami Herald reported that the non-prosecution agreement “essentially shut down an ongoing FBI probe” into the possibility of more victims and powerful individuals involved in Epstein’s crimes. The deal, which was kept secret from the victims in violation of federal law, halted further investigations and sealed the indictment.

Acosta later justified the leniency of the deal by claiming he was informed that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and that the issue was above his “pay grade,” the Daily Beast reported.

Now, Senator Tina Polsky, D-Boca Raton, was at the forefront of filing the groundbreaking bill, which saw unanimous support in the Senate, passing with a vote of 37-0. The legislation seeks to widen the scope of circumstances under which evidence and grand jury testimony can be made public, Florida’s Voice News reported.

The Epstein scandal, which has continued to stir public interest and outrage, saw the financier secure a considerably lenient plea deal in 2008, after the grand jury probe into his solicitation of minors for sexual activities.

The bill’s passage through the Senate was the final legislative hurdle, with Governor DeSantis affirming his commitment to sign it into law, stating, “All files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activity should be made public.”

“While the federal government continues to stonewall accountability, I’m glad the Legislature has taken action to release the grand jury material from the Florida state case. I will sign the bill into law,” DeSantis added.

All files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activity should be made public.

While the federal government continues to stonewall accountability, I’m glad the Legislature has taken action to release the grand jury material from the Florida state case.

I will sign the bill… https://t.co/3VjOMMt69a

— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) February 21, 2024

If the bill is signed by DeSantis, it will take effect on July 1, providing a new avenue for public insight into the Epstein case. The release of the grand jury documents could also occur sooner through a lawsuit filed by the Palm Beach Post, which has pursued legal action for transparency since 2019, CBS News reported.

It can be recalled that earlier this year, a set of documents detailed Ghislaine Maxwell’s recruiting techniques, Prince Andrew’s abuse of the trafficked victims, and Bill Clinton’s fondness for “young” girls was released to the public by Judge Loretta Preska. The unsealed cache of documents comes from lawsuits related to Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse which potentially included names of over 150 people.

In July 2022, Gateway Pundit lawyers Marc Randazza and Jay Wolman of the Randazza Legal Group, along with GP General Counsel John Burns, filed a motion to intervene in the Guiffre v. Maxwell case in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

GP is asking the Court to unseal all records identifying Epstein’s Sex Clients.

In August 2022, the federal judge overseeing the case denied Gateway Pundit’s efforts to unseal the documents.

However, Gateway Pundit filed an appeal to the federal Second Circuit Court of Appeals, demanding that GP and the public be allowed to access the Epstein Sex Client list.

On February 27, 2023, a “John Doe” interested party (a person whose identity had been sealed by the court because of their affiliation with Epstein) filed a Brief opposing Gateway Pundit’s appeal and asking the Court of Appeals to deny the brief.

The “John Doe”’s arguments are extremely lame.  “Doe” merely argues that Gateway Pundit waited too long to request the arguments.  According to “Doe,” GP and the public have no interest in the Epstein sex client list because too much time has transpired.

City of Madras, Oregon Proposes Fining Grocery Stores for Carts Stolen and Found Near Homeless Camps (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hᴏft — February 26th 2024 at 08:30
Screenshot: Central Oregon Daily News/Youtube

In a controversial move, the City of Madras is proposing a new policy that would levy fines against grocery stores for shopping carts that are stolen and found near homeless camps, according to a report by Central Oregon Daily News.

Local grocery stores acknowledge the issue but are divided on the solution.

Kevin Eidemiller, co-manager of Ericksons Thriftway, expressed his frustration to Central Oregon Daily, “We’ve had close to probably 70 to 100 carts stolen in the last two years. At least once a week to every other week, we go hunting for our own carts.”

The City made contact with grocery stores late last year to prompt action to retain carts on the property.

Nicholas Snead, Madras Community Development Director, highlighted the need for a resolution: “When we started to see the relationship between shopping carts not being kept on the retailer’s property and then being used in ways that weren’t intended, we thought we needed to start figuring out a way to solve this problem.”

Despite these discussions, the city has seen no significant improvement, leading to the drafting of a new proposal. “If the shopping cart is not on the property, it’s a $100 offense,” said Snead.

According to the proposal, “Each occurrence of a violation, or, in the case of continuous violations, each day a violation occurs or continues, constitutes a separate offense and may be punished separately.”

Eidemiller, however, sees this as an unfair burden on businesses, “If you have your own private property, you shouldn’t be fined for it being taken off your own premise. It seems pretty excessive.”

WATCH:

The city is hosting an open house on February 26 to discuss potential solutions with retailers.

Below is the announcement from Community Development Director Nicholas Snead via KTVZ:

“We understand that managing shopping carts can pose logistical challenges for local retailers, but it is crucial that we work together to minimize unintended impacts to the community. By keeping shopping carts on premises, we can minimize the risk of them being misused and mitigate the associated problems for our community.

“These regulations would also entail retailers being fined for non-compliance. Shopping cart management is an issue that affects not only individual businesses but also residents and the overall aesthetics and functionality of our community.

“In November of 2023, the City contacted each retailer and communicated the problem and requested changes to their operations to ensure shopping carts remain on premises. After several months of not seeing significant changes, the City is considering implementing regulations that would mandate businesses to retain their shopping carts on premises.

“City staff initially raised the issue to the Madras Homeless Advisory Committee at their December 2023 and January 2024 meetings. At the January 22, 2024, Homeless Advisory Committee meeting, the committee took formal action to make a recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed shopping cart regulations. (The draft regulations are included in that meeting’s agenda packet.)

“The City believes it is crucial that the City provide an opportunity for stakeholders to have the chance to contribute to the conversation before the City Council considers establishing these regulations.

“The City of Madras is hosting an Open House at City Hall in the City Council Chambers located at 125 SW “E” Street, Madras, OR 97741 on Monday, February 26, from 2:00-3:30 PM to discuss the proposed shopping cart regulations.

“The purpose of this gathering is to provide an opportunity for stakeholders, including local business owners, to learn, voice their opinions, concerns, and suggestions regarding the proposed regulations. The Open House will include presentations by city staff, as well as opportunities for attendees to ask questions and share their perspectives.”

Below is the proposal:

Breaking: Ukrainian Intelligence Chief Admits Russian Dissident Alexei Navalny Died from a Blood Clot – He Wasn’t Murdered

By: Jim Hoft — February 26th 2024 at 09:00
Ukraine’s intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov confirms the Kremlin’s claims that Russian dissident Alexei Navalny died of a blood clot. He wasn’t murdered.

Ukrainian intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov disappointed Western journalists on Monday who asked him about Russian dissident Alexei Navalny’s death in prison in Siberia. Budanov confirmed the Kremlin’s claims that Navalny died of a blood clot. Navalny was not murdered.

Krylo Budanov: I may disappoint you, but what we know is that he actually died from a blood clot.

The Western elites were hoping to use Navalny’s death in a Russian prison in their push for World War III with Russia. This must have been a significant blow to the Deep State and Biden regime.

As reported one week ago by Kristinn Taylor, Russian democracy activist Alexei Navalny, 47, reportedly died in a Soviet-era gulag located north of the Arctic Circle on Friday, according to the Russian prison authority. Navalny leaves behind his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, and their two children.

Navalny organized anti-government demonstrations and ran for office to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia, and against President Vladimir Putin and his government.

Russian dissident Alexei Navalny is pictured behind bars in prison before his death.

The globalist left used Navalny’s tragic death as an excuse to ramp up their hopes for a shooting war against nuclear Russia.

At the same time, they are blaming President Trump for his death and attacking Trump following news of Navalny’s death.

It should not surprise you that the American mainstream media is censoring significant statements by Alexei Navalny before his death.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the Soros-related origins of the Russia collusion conspiracy. There is more information on George Soros’ role in Russiagate through the West’s favorite Russian opposition blogger Alexander Navalny.

Activist Alexei Navalny became one of the key figures in the fake Russiagate conspiracy theory when he released a video linking Trump ex-campaign manager Paul Manafort to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, reported by the Telegraph in February 2018. At the same time, the Telegraph had to admit the video “does not specifically mention Donald Trump”.  In addition, Oleg Deripaska “denied receiving briefings from the Trump campaign, although he admitted hiring Mr. Manafort as a consultant in previous years”, the Telegraph reported. Although it was a “big nothing-burger”, it was fit to print in the NYT.

In 2009, opposition blogger Alexei Navalny emerged as leader of the Russian opposition and was portrayed as a hero by Western media. In 2010, he graduated from a half-year Yale Greenberg World Fellowship, which was originally called White House Fellows under Bill Clinton’s Presidency. The first program director of the Yale World Fellows was Dan Esty, energy and environmental policy adviser for the 2008 Obama campaign.

Soon thereafter, Navalny started an anti-corruption campaign in Russia that was supported early on by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Vladimir Putin accused Secretary Clinton of supporting Navalny in 2011, saying she sent “a signal” to “some actors in our country”.

At the same time, Navalny allegedly went to work for the Open Society Foundations (OSF) methadone program, which aimed to “bring together actors, alliances from different spheres (i.e. Navalny)”, as OSF documents leaked by DC Leaks showed 2015. George Soros supported a whole network of radical left-wing NGOs in Russia before being banned in 2015.

Navalny was closely allied with exiled oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who modeled his “Open Russia Foundation” on Soros’ network. Khodorkovsky’s London-based investigative research unit Dossier, which has often shared hacked documents from unknown sources, was also behind NYT 2018 claims Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was acting on behalf of the Russian government when she offered allegedly incriminating evidence to Donald Trump. Jr. in the infamous Trump Tower Meeting. It has since emerged Veselnitskaya met with Fusion GPS head Glenn Simpson before and after the June 9 2016 Trump Tower meeting, placing her closer to the Clinton opposition research campaign than the Kremlin.

Alexei Navalny and his brother Oleg were convicted of embezzling 26 million Rubles from French cosmetics firm Yves Rocher, with whom they had a Russian distribution deal  2008 to 2011, the Navalnys were represented in French court in Vannes, Brittany by attorneys William Bourdon and Amélie Lefebre of Association Sherpa, a whistleblower defense which also defended Edward Snowden and is supported by the Clinton Foundation‘s Humanity United, Freedom Fund and the Open Society Foundations. Although the plaintiff was French company Yves Rocher, who also sued for damages in France, Western media depicted it as some sort of sham trial instigated by Vladimir Putin. While Oleg was sent to prison for three years, Alexei Navalny was given a suspended sentence and remains free.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Alexei Navalny wrote for leftist flagships The Guardian and the New York Times, where Navalny demanded sanctions against his own country over the Russian annexation of the Crimea 2014 (which many Russians consider a “reunification”). Navalny’s daughter Daria Navalnaya gave a video statement on New York Times Video on June 27, 2019 – a remarkable opportunity for a 17-year-old young woman.

Navalny also compared himself and his persecution by Putin’s regime to Donald Trump and his persecution by radical Democrats and the Biden regime.

As Kristinn Taylor noted earlier – Robby Starbuck reposted a comment by Navalny from January 9, 2021 likening his treatment by Putin to that of Trump.

Robby Starbuck: Someone just flagged this for me and it’s pretty wild. When Trump was banned by the old Twitter regime, Navalny came out against it and called it censorship akin to how he as censored in Russia. His post almost foreshadows how Dems would try to remove Trump from the ballot too.

Navalny posted several tweets about the unprecedented abuse hurled at Donald Trump here in America, likening it to his situation in Russia.

Jeb Bush Speaks Out – Warns that the Government’s Weaponization against Donald Trump and Elon Musk Poses a Grave Threat to Business in America

By: Jim Hoft — February 26th 2024 at 09:15

It’s about time.
After 91 bogus lawfare indictments and over $600 million in penalties against Donald Trump, a few honest businessmen and political leaders are finally speaking out.

The former Florida governor along with Joe Lonsdale, the co-founder of Palantir, published an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal this weekend condemning the politicized, activist courts that are targeting conservative leaders for political gain.

This does not happen in America.

Joe Lonsdale told CNN, “The whole system right now is being weaponized, and it’s scary and it’s wrong. This is what happens in emerging markets. It’s not what happens in great countries like America, and we need it to stop.”

Kanekoa the Great posted their remarks on Twitter, via The Wall Street Journal.

Jeb Bush is warning that the government’s weaponization against Donald Trump and Elon Musk poses a grave threat to business and the rule of law in the United States of America.

That’s how far these politicized prosecutors and activist judges have veered into hazardous territory.

“Every American has a right to be critical of Mr. Trump’s politics—one of us ran against him in 2016—or Mr. Musk’s public persona. But equality before the law is precious, and these rulings represent a crisis not only for the soundness of our courts, but for the business environment that has allowed the U.S. to prosper.”

“If these rulings stand, the damage could cascade through the economy, creating fear of arbitrary enforcement against entrepreneurs who seek public office or raise their voices as citizens in a way that politicians dislike.”

“In Delaware, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of the Court of Chancery ordered the unwinding of five years of Mr. Musk’s incentive-based compensation at Tesla, which had been approved by 80% of the company’s shareholders.”

“The plaintiff, Richard Tornetta, held nine shares in 2018—worth about $200 then and $2,000 today, after the execution of the compensation plan that supposedly injured him.”

“Mr. Musk’s compensation plan awarded him stock bonuses tied to earnings and stock-value benchmarks, which many critics thought he could never meet. When he did, he received $56 billion, enriching shareholders like Mr. Tornetta along the way.”

“Judge McCormick has yet to say how she wants the pay package unwound, but Mr. Tornetta’s lawyers could petition her for a percentage of the $56 billion as a fee for having succeeded in their challenge.”

“Mr. Musk’s performance at Tesla enriched all shareholders, but Judge McCormick’s ruling may primarily enrich Delaware trial lawyers.”

“The unusual New York law Ms. James used to investigate and sue Mr. Trump didn’t require her to prove that he had intended to defraud anyone, or even that anyone lost money.”

“The Associated Press found that of the 12 cases brought under that law since its adoption in 1956 in which significant penalties were imposed, the case against Mr. Trump was the only instance without an alleged victim or financial loss.”

“Bankers from Deutsche Bank, which lent money to Mr. Trump, testified that they were satisfied with having done so, given they were paid back on time and with interest.”

“They also testified that they were uncertain whether the alleged exaggerations would have affected the terms of the loans to Mr. Trump—a key part of Ms. James’s case. Since there were no victims, the state will collect the damages.”

“New York and Delaware have played an outsize role in business in the U.S. Many major companies are incorporated in Delaware owing to the state’s body of corporate legal precedents; and a significant number of banks operate in New York, the world financial capital.”

“The appellate courts in those states now have a chance to review these dangerous judicial rulings and try to stop further damage to the reputations of their respective judiciaries.”

Zagreb and Belgrade at Each Other’s Throats Again, as Croatian FM Calls Serbian President a ‘Russian Satellite’

By: Paul Serran — February 26th 2024 at 09:30

With the fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, all Eastern Europe went into a troubled period, and arguably the disintegration of Yugoslavia was the most traumatic process, with a series of wars raging from 1991 to 2001.

In the end, six independent countries emerged from Yugoslavia: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, and North Macedonia.

Serbia and Croatia, specially, have forever remained in seemingly unfriendly terms.

The latest diplomatic spat is ongoing after Croatia’s foreign minister described Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić as a Russian ‘satellite’ in the Balkans.

Serbia sent a protest note, leaving the two neighbors, at odds yet again.

Associated Press reported:

“Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman told N1 television on Saturday that Vučić must decide which side he is on, Russia or the European Union, “because it is impossible and uncomfortable sitting on two chairs at the same time.”

‘He shouldn’t have a big dilemma’, Grlić Radman said, saying that Vučić can remain Moscow’s ally but ‘malign’ Russian influence that could undermine the stability of the Western Balkans will not be allowed.”

Authorities and officials in Serbia reacted with the usual anger.

“’The Croatian minister not only brutally interferes in the internal affairs of Serbia, but as usual he lies and insults the Serbian people and threatens its citizens’, Vučić said on Instagram.

‘Grlić Radman is right about one thing, maybe I am someone’s satellite… but I have never been anyone’s servant, which cannot be said for Grlić Radman’.”

Grlić Radman appears to try to kiss German FM Baerbok on the mouth during EU Summit.

The Croatian Foreign Minister is himself prone to putting himself into controversies, as back in November, when he gave a polemic kiss almost on the mouth of German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in the middle of posing with many other ministers during the EU Summit.

The Serbian Foreign Ministry expects that in the future, Croatian officials ‘will refrain from statements that represent interference in the internal affairs of Serbia, and will lead a policy of reconciliation and good-neighborly relations between the two states’.

“Reacting to the protest note, the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs rejected the allegation that Croatia is interfering in Serbia’s internal matters, pointing out that the Croatian official ‘stated the fact about Serbia’s nonalignment with the foreign and security policy of the European Union regarding the Russian aggression against Ukraine’.”

Vučić’s government has maintained close ties with Moscow despite Serbia’s formal bid to join the European Union.

Serbia has not joined Western sanctions or censored Russian media.

Croatia, an EU and NATO member, has been involved in a series of disputes with Serbia in recent years.

They have also been involved in as arms race that could escalate the tensions in the region.

From Policy to Pain: How the Fed Impacts Your Wallet

By: Antonio Graceffo — February 26th 2024 at 09:45
By Gryffindor (Wikimedia Commons)

Artificial interest rate controls cause inflationary booms, depressing busts, and result in taxpayers bailing out wealthy bankers every five to ten years.

While businesses struggle to obtain loans and consumers suffer under extremely high interest rates, the Federal Reserve cautioned this week “against cutting US interest rates too soon or too much.”

The implication is that the Federal Reserve knows what the correct interest rate should be and when and by how much it should be cut. But for every other product, apart from loans, the market determines the price. And the market is never wrong.

The Fed deciding that it knows the right interest rates and quantity of dollars that the economy should have is extremely presumptuous. Even more worrying, the acceptance by the general public that the Fed is correct is an example of central planning.

Entrusting the Fed with superior knowledge over the market, comprising 330 million consumers and sellers, represents a frightening leap toward central authority dictating everything from health and education to how you raise your child or what media you are allowed to read.

Also, if the Fed knows the right interest rate and quantity of money, why aren’t they able to prevent economic crises and bank failures?

When it comes to most other products in the economy—shoes, cars, clothing—the price is determined by the market, and the market never gets it wrong. If the market price goes too high, people stop buying; if it goes too low, companies lose money.

So, we wind up with a market price that consumers are willing to bear and that companies can live with.

Most importantly, in our capitalist/democratic system, the only people who pay for those shoes, cars, and clothing are the people who buy them. If you think the price is too high, you don’t have to buy, and the government doesn’t force you to pay for your neighbor’s shoes.

Or at least, that is how it is supposed to work. Some administrations are more socialist than others, and you do find yourself paying for your neighbor’s shoes through taxes, but that is the subject of another article.

Today, we are discussing how the Fed distorts the economy by artificially controlling interest rates, which leads to inflationary booms, depressing busts, and ultimately results in taxpayers bailing out wealthy bankers.

Until the self-imposed destruction of the COVID lockdowns, the most recent economic crisis was in 2008, which resulted in over 8 million Americans losing their jobs.

Additionally, the U.S. Treasury Department used nearly $1 trillion of taxpayer money to buy up banks’ toxic assets and to make emergency loans to banks teetering on the brink of collapse.

These were private, for-profit companies that received payouts from public funds. From a free-market standpoint, the reason why toxic assets plummeted in value was that the risk was too high and the public didn’t want to buy them.

So, the banks effectively made a terrible product that consumers didn’t want, but which the government purchased with taxpayer money.

Even worse, in order to stimulate a failing economy, the Fed artificially suppressed interest rates until two years ago. As of December 2021, the federal funds rate target range was 0.00% to 0.25%.

And that low rate, along with dramatic increases in government spending and borrowing and the creation of money, resulted in the 9% inflation during the Biden administration. To rein in the inflation, the Fed began raising the federal funds rate, which currently stands at 5.25% to 5.50%.

This figure is the federal funds rate, the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. The rate you pay for mortgages, car loans, and credit cards will be much higher.

The Fed artificially keeps the interest rate low when politicians want to give the illusion of economic growth. In 2023, after the Fed began raising interest rates, the low Fed rates of the preceding 15 years resulted in banks like Silicon Valley Bank sitting on investments that paid 1.79%, while new treasuries were paying 3.79%.

This meant that the banks had to pay more to borrow money than they were earning on their portfolio of loans and investments. SVB and several other banks went bankrupt, resulting in a $25 billion bailout.

Meanwhile, the entire banking system is estimated to be sitting on $620 billion in similar, unrealized losses because of artificial interest rate manipulation by the Fed.

The COVID lockdown economic crisis caused 120,000 businesses to close and 30 million Americans to lose their jobs. To compensate, the Biden White House, working with Congress on fiscal policy, and the Federal Reserve, implementing monetary policy, the deficit skyrocketed, the debt hit record levels, and interest rates were kept low.

As a result, Biden claimed the largest growth and job creation in history, as well as the highest inflation in 40 years.

Now, in addition to enduring years of lost wages, depleted savings, and mounting personal debt, Americans are grappling with the combination of inflation and high interest rates. All of which was enabled by the Fed’s policies,

Chicago Jewelry Store Worker Shoots Smash and Grab Robber Trying Steal from Establishment – Police Take BOTH into Custody and Release Them Without Charges (VIDEO)

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 26th 2024 at 10:00

Surveillance video captured a quick-thinking Chicago jewelry store employee shooting a 27-year-old crook trying to steal from his store, foiling a huge robbery. But the brave man’s actions were not rewarded in any way by the Windy City’s authorities.

As CBS News Chicago reported, the incident occurred just before 11 a.m. Saturday on Jeweler’s Row, in the 0-100 block of North Wabash Avenue.

Footage shows the thief, who is wearing a red sweatshirt, wandering around briefly before making a dash toward the store’s entrance.

He then begins to bash in a glass case in an attempt to steal thousands of dollars worth of jewelry. But the employee promptly reaches behind the counter and opens fire on the man, hitting him in the buttocks and abdomen.

The thug is next seen struggling to gain his balance outside the store before darting back in to grab a small bag and running up the stairs to a nearby “L” train platform.

CBS Chicago revealed police eventually caught up to the robber and arrested him. He was then taken to the hospital to treat his gunshot wounds.

The employee who saved the day is a concealed carry license holder, according to the outlet.

CWB Chicago reports that the police also took the heroic worker into custody, and prosecutors considered charging him with a crime before ultimately backing off at least for now.

Authorities also declined to press charges against the thief, continuing a citywide pattern of coddling violent criminals at the expense of public safety.

The investigation reportedly remains ongoing. The employee likely has more cause for worry than the thief, given Chicago’s laughable justice system.

Here are Several Times Nikki Haley Blamed Donald Trump for Russian Dissident Navalny’s “Murder” in Prison – Today We Found Out He Died from a Blood Clot

By: Jim Hoft — February 26th 2024 at 10:15

One week ago on Monday, news broke that Russian dissident Alexei Navalny had died in prison in a Russian gulag north of the Arctic Circle.

Navalny leaves behind his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, and their two children.

Navalny organized anti-government demonstrations and ran for office to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia, and against President Vladimir Putin and his government.

The media immediately blamed Putin for “his murder” in prison.

Nikki Haley used Navalny’s death to attack her former boss, Donald Trump. Haley is at the point where she is using anything she can to damage President Trump. That’s why Democrats and the Uniparty want Nikki to stay in the GOP primary race.

Earlier today, Ukrainian intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov disappointed Western journalists who asked him about Russian dissident Alexei Navalny’s death in prison in Siberia. Budanov confirmed the Kremlin’s claims that Navalny died of a blood clot. Navalny was not murdered.

Here are a few of the numerous times Nikki Haley used Navalny’s death this week to attack President Trump.

Haley demanded Donald Trump “answer for his death.” This made The New York Times.

Nikki Haley attacked Trump for not hitting Putin for Navalny’s murder.

Nikki Haley: “The only comment he’s going to make about Navalny is not hitting Putin for murdering him…Instead, he’s going to compare himself to Navalny?”

Haley attacked Trump on Twitter following Navalny’s death.

Nikki Haley: Donald Trump could have condemned Vladimir Putin for being a murderous thug. Trump could have praised Navalny’s courage. Instead, he stole a page from liberals’ playbook, denouncing America and comparing our country to Russia.

Nikki’s simple question to Donald Trump

Simple question: is Putin responsible for Navalny’s death? I say yes. What do you say, Donald Trump?

— Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) February 17, 2024

Nikki Haley also demanded that Donald Trumpanwser to whether he thinks Putin is responsible for Navalney’s death.

— Republican Accountability (@AccountableGOP) February 18, 2024

Here’s the short answer: “No.”

Someone really needs to start looking into where Nikki is getting all of her funding. Her only purpose is to spew hate against Donald Trump at this point.

Update: More from DC Draino.

Wait, so you’re telling me American warmonger politicians were trying to start nuclear WW3 with Russia over a blood clot?

That may have been caused by you know what?

That those same politicians forced upon everyone?

Massive Donor Drops Nikki Haley After Big South Carolina Loss to Trump

By: Jack Davis, The Western Journal — February 26th 2024 at 10:30

One of Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s prime backers has had enough.

Americans for Prosperity Action, a group aligned with conservative billionaire Charles Koch, has said it will no longer pour money into her campaign after her loss in South Carolina on Saturday, according to Politico.

Politico reported that it had obtained an email in which Americans for Prosperity CEO Emily Seidel said AFP Action, its political division, was no longer funding Haley.

“She has made it clear that she will continue to fight and we wholeheartedly support her in this effort,” Seidel wrote.

“But given the challenges in the primary states ahead, we don’t believe any outside group can make a material difference to widen her path to victory,” she wrote.

AFP Action has been putting its resources behind Haley since November. The group maintains the Republican Party is doomed with former President Donald Trump as its presidential candidate.

“If Donald Trump is at the top of the Republican ticket, the risk of one-party rule by a Democratic Party captured by the Progressive Left is severe and would do irreparable damage to the country,” Seidel wrote.

“The last three election cycles have painted a very clear picture of what we can expect from voters who consistently rejected Donald Trump and his impact on the Republican party brand,” she wrote.

“And we should expect this to increase further as the criminal trials progress,” Seidel wrote.

Trump faces a March trial in New York over payments he made to porn star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election and also faces federal election interference changes and charges he mishandled classified documents. Trump is also facing election interference charges in Georgia.

Mark Harris, lead adviser with SFA Fund Inc., the major group backing Haley, said it will support her as long as she is in the contest.

Trump reacted on the Truth Social social media platform.

“AMERICAN’S FOR NO PROSPERITY HAVE JUST STATED THAT HALEY HAS NO CHANCE TO WIN, AND THEY WILL STOP FUNDING HER CAMPAIGN, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!” he wrote.

Haley indicated Saturday that she will remain in the contest at least through the March 5 Super Tuesday elections.

“In the next 10 days, another 21 states and territories will speak,” Haley said Saturday night after losing the South Carolina race by about 20 percentage points, according to The Washington Post.

“They have the right to a real choice, not a Soviet-style election with only one candidate. And I have a duty to give them that choice,” she said.

“Those of us from the Reagan wing of the party want her to stay in because we want to remind people we are still here,” Eric Levine, a donor to Haley, told the Post. “We’re not winning without the Reagan wing of the party, and Nikki Haley represents that wing.”

Levine said that with trials circling Trump, Haley is an option.

“If something happens, she’s the one who can pick up the pieces,” Levine told the Post. “It makes sense for her … to stay in, continue to gather delegates. She has the money to do it.”

SPACE ODDITY: Upside-Down Japanese Slim Lunar Lander ‘Wakes Up’ From Freezing Moon Night in ‘Miracle’

By: Paul Serran — February 26th 2024 at 10:45

It seems to be the season of crazy – but ultimately successful – moon landings.

A couple of days ago, American Nova-C ‘Odysseus’ managed a historical moon landing for a private company – but ended up lying on its side.

Now, the original space oddity, the upside-down Japanese SLIM lander, has ‘woken up’ from its formant stage during a second freezing lunar night, to the surprise and delight of mission controllers on Earth.

Japan’s first moon lander has responded to a signal from Earth in what has been hailed as a “miracle” by the country’s space agency.

Sky News reported:

“The response, received late on Sunday, suggests the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) craft survived a second freezing weeks-long lunar night, when temperatures can plunge to -170C.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said it was a “miracle” because the probe was not designed to survive the lunar night.

The SLIM probe, dubbed the “moon sniper”, made a “pinpoint” touchdown on 19 January – earning Japan a place in the history books as the fifth country to successfully place a probe on the moon.”Read more:

SLIM IS BACK: Upside Down Japanese Moon Lander Recharged Batteries and Resumed Lunar Mission

A failure with one of the craft’s thrusters meant it landed the wrong way up – with energy panels facing away from the sun.

As battery power dwindled, mission managers put the probe into hibernation after just three hours. The ‘moon sniper’ eventually regained power more than a week after the historic moon landing.

“JAXA said communication with the probe on Sunday was ‘kept short’ because it was still ‘lunar midday’ and SLIM was at a very high temperature – thought to be around 100C.”

Communication with #SLIM was terminated after a short time, as it was still lunar midday and the temperature of the communication equipment was very high. Preparations are being made to resume operations when instrument temperatures have sufficiently cooled. #GoodAfterMoon #JAXA

— 小型月着陸実証機SLIM (@SLIM_JAXA) February 26, 2024

“Last night a command was sent to #SLIM and a response received, confirming the spacecraft has made it through the lunar night and maintained communication capabilities.

Communication with #SLIM was terminated after a short time, as it was still lunar midday and the temperature of the communication equipment was very high.”

The agency is now preparing to make contact again, once the vehicle has cooled.

The mission has been considered a success, with ‘Moon sniper’ achieving the primary objective of landing the craft within a 100m diameter target zone.

“Hitoshi Kuninaka, the head of JAXA’s research centre, said the SLIM probe’s 100m target had ‘most certainly achieved’, according to initial data, though its specific location won’t be known for a month.”

Read: BREAKING: Odysseus Touches Down, Taking the US Back to the Moon for the First Time Since 1972!

A month after SLIM, a US lander successfully landed on the moon for the first time in more than 50 years.

“The Odysseus lander, the first ever privately-owned craft, arrived on the moon’s surface after a nail-biting descent, landing closer to its south pole than any other craft in history.”

Peter Sweden: IT’S SPREADING: Swedish Farmers Join European Wide Protests

By: Guest Contributor — February 26th 2024 at 11:00
AI generated image

This article was written by Swedish independent journalist Peter Imanuelsen, also known as PeterSweden. You can follow him at PeterSweden.com.

Farmers all over Europe have been taking part in historic protests against the climate agenda.

Something big, something historic has been taking place all over Europe the last few months. Farmers in 20 European countries have taken to the streets to protest against unfair policies driven in large by the climate agenda.

If you have only been reading the mainstream media, you might not have realized how large these protests actually are.

I’ve been following this and tens of thousands of farmers all over Europe have been protesting for months. They’ve blockaded Paris, they’ve blockaded airports, they’ve even built walls around government buildings in protests.

Read more here.

These protests are nothing but historic, yet you barely see anything about it in the news. The farmers are saying NO to the World Economic Forum agenda.

Now the protests have reached Sweden, with farmers taking to the streets with hundreds of their tractors, with some carrying banners reading “No farmers, No food, No future”.

You can see videos from the Swedish farmers protest here:

It really began with the Dutch farmers last year after the government talked about essentially SEIZING 3000 farms in order to meet the 2030 climate goals.

I traveled to the Netherlands to report directly from the farmers protests there last year, you can read all about it in my article here:

You see, this all comes back to the UN Agenda 2030. They have outlined several “Global Goals” that is to be implemented all over the world in time for the year 2030.

One of these goals is “Climate Action”. And they have decided that farmers are polluting to much.

Instead, if you are to listen to the World Economic Forum, people should be eating insects and fake meat to save the planet.

There was even a guest at this years World Economic Forum who said that fishing and farming was akin to “ecocide” and should “recognized legally as a serious crime”. Yes, you read that correctly.

So the plan is that you will eat fake meat and insects to save the planet.

In reality, this is not much different from what happened under the Soviet Union.

Stalin called farmers the “enemy of the people”. The Communists seized the farmers land. The result was that millions of people were starved to death.

Now we are seeing the elites wanting to seize control of the food supply in the name of climate change.

Farmers are now once again being painted as “enemies” because they supposedly pollute the earth.

It’s Climate Communism.

SHOCK VIDEO: Reckless Man Driving at Obscenely High Speed Mows Down Mother and Daughter Returning from Concert – Suspect Already Freed Thanks to Soft-On-Crime ‘Judge’

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 26th 2024 at 11:20

Horrifying footage has captured the moment a reckless man driving at shocking speed, killing a mother and daughter walking home from a concert. Even more infuriatingly, the suspect allegedly responsible is already walking free thanks to a soft-on-crime judge.

KSDK reported the women killed in a crash early Wednesday morning were 42-year-old Laticha Bracero and 21-year-old Alyssa Cordova. They were in town for a Drake concert in St. Louis on February 14, which let out shortly before the women were struck while walking near Enterprise Center.

Video capturing the moment the incident occurred went viral on social media Monday. You can see the two women crossing the street when a speeding Jeep Grand Cherokee blasts through a red light and takes them out.

Police identified the driver as 22-year-old Monte Henderson. Data retrieved from the vehicle driven by Henderson indicates it was traveling at more than 70 mph prior to running the red traffic signal.

The Jeep continued its rampage until it slammed into another vehicle.

Henderson survived the incident and was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter & two counts of armed criminal action. But he was released from prison on February 16 after paying 10% ($20,000) of the $200,000 bond in cash.

As the Webster-Kirkwood Times reported, Judge Annette Llewellyn did not consider Henderson, who has no prior felony charges, as a flight risk or a threat to society.

Henderson’s attorney called the horrific crime “a very tragic accident” and claimed his client is a “very upstanding young man; involved in academics and sports.”

Margo Saucedo, a cousin of one of the women killed by Henderson, said Bracero and Cordova had “a beautiful relationship.”

They had a beautiful relationship. They did everything together.

God knew that they wouldn’t be able to survive without each other.

Hungarian Parliament Finally Approves Sweden’s NATO Accession Bid – Leaders Vow To Be ‘Prepared To Die for Each Other’

By: Paul Serran — February 26th 2024 at 11:40

The wait is over. After months of negotiations and threats,  Hungary approved Sweden’s NATO accession bid almost two years after it first applied to join the military alliance.

Hungarian lawmakers finally voted in favor of Sweden’s membership after overcoming staunch opposition from governing party members.

CNBC reported:

“The Scandinavian country will become the 32nd NATO member, coming under the fold of Article 5 of the treaty, which vows that an attack on one member is an attack on all of them.”

After the start of the war in Ukraine, Sweden applied to join NATO, in a historic reversal of its policy of military non-alignment.

Its accession expands NATO’s presence in northern Europe and further encircles Russia in a dangerous escalation of the alliance’s eastward expansion.

“While a vast majority of NATO members backed Stockholm’s bid from its early days, Orbán was resistant amid Swedish criticism over Hungary’s democracy. NATO requires unanimous support from all members before allowing a new admission.

In a meeting in Budapest on Friday, Orbán and his Swedish counterpart Ulf Kristersson vowed to overcome their differences and noted that they were ‘prepared to die for each other.’”

Hungary and Sweden also signed a military pact in which Sweden agreed to sell four new Gripen fighter planes.

“’To be a member of NATO together with another country means we are ready to die for each other’, Orbán said Friday, according to the Associated Press. ‘A deal on defense and military capacities helps to reconstruct the trust between the two countries’.”

Hungary’s vote follows that of Turkey, the other country that delayed the approval.

Ankara had accused Stockholm of being too lenient toward groups it views as threats, including Kurdish militants.

The Guardian reported:

“Speaking after the vote in Budapest on Monday, the Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, hailed ‘a historic day’. ‘The parliaments of all Nato member states have now voted in favour of Swedish accession to Nato. Sweden stands ready to shoulder its responsibility for Euro-Atlantic security’, he said.

Jens Stoltenberg, the outgoing Nato secretary general, also welcomed the move, saying: ‘Now that all allies have approved, Sweden will become the 32nd Nato ally. Sweden’s membership will make us all stronger and safer’.”

Hungary’s interim president, László Kövér, will have five days to sign off on it and send it to the US State Department in Washington.

“Asked by journalists what had made his country drop its opposition to Sweden joining Nato, Orbán said: ‘Being members of Nato means that we are prepared to die for each other. It is based on mutual respect. Taking that process at an appropriate pace has been wise’.”

Biden and Trump Will Both Visit the Border on the Same Day

By: Cassandra MacDonald — February 26th 2024 at 12:00

Joe Biden and Donald Trump are both scheduled to visit the southern border this week.

The two main competitors for the 2024 presidential election will both be visiting the border on Thursday.

The White House announced Biden’s trip on Monday morning.

“On Thursday, President Biden will travel to Brownsville, Texas to meet with U.S. Border Patrol agents, law enforcement, and local leaders,” the White House said in a statement.

“He will discuss the urgent need to pass the Senate bipartisan border security agreement, the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border in decades. He will reiterate his calls for Congressional Republicans to stop playing politics and to provide the funding needed for additional U.S. Border Patrol agents, more asylum officers, fentanyl detection technology and more.”

Trump will be visiting Eagle Pass, Texas, on Thursday. His visit was announced last week.

The former president’s campaign derided Biden’s visit as “chasing us to the border,” according to a report from the Texas Tribune.

Eagle Pass and Brownsville are about five hours apart if driving.

Illinois Judge Removed from the Bench Following Controversial Reversal of Man’s Rape Conviction of a 16-Year-Old Girl

By: Jim Hᴏft — February 26th 2024 at 12:20

The Illinois Court Commission has officially removed Eighth Judicial Circuit Judge Robert Adrian from his position, WGEM reported.

This extraordinary action comes in the wake of a deeply controversial ruling where Adrian reversed the rape conviction of an 18-year-old accused of assaulting a 16-year-old girl during a graduation party.

The Commission’s statement was unequivocal:

The Code and the Commission’s precedent provide ample grounds for removal in this case. Respondent has engaged in multiple instances of misconduct, he abused his position of power to indulge his own sense of justice while circumventing the law, he lied under oath on multiple occasions, and he has failed to acknowledge his misconduct. Much more was required of respondent. “A judge has a position of power and prestige in a democratic society espousing justice for all persons under law. The role of the judge in the administration of justice requires adherence to the highest standard of personal and official conduct. Of those to whom much is committed, much is demanded. A judge, therefore, has the responsibility of conforming to a higher standard of conduct than is expected of lawyers or other persons in society.” 

Based on our findings in this case and Commission precedent, we conclude the only appropriate sanction is to remove respondent from the office of circuit court judge, effective immediately. It is so ordered.

The saga began when Judge Adrian overturned his own guilty verdict in the case of 18-year-old Drew Clinton, accused of sexually assaulting 16-year-old Cameron Vaughan.

18-year-old Drew Clinton, accused of sexually assaulting 16-year-old Cameron Vaughan

Despite the conviction in October 2021, Adrian reversed his decision in January 2022, stating that incarcerating Clinton would be unjust given his clean record.

“He [Clinton] has no prior record, none whatsoever. By law, the court is supposed to sentence this young man to the Department of Corrections. … This court will not do that. That is not just. There is no way for what happened in this case that this teenager should go to the Department of Corrections. I will not do that,” Adrian said in his ruling at the time.

Daily Mail reported, “According to court transcripts, after he reversed Clinton’s conviction, Adrian blamed parents and adults for ‘having parties for teenagers, and they allow coeds and female people to swim in their underwear in their swimming pool. And, no, underwear is not the same as swimming suits.'”

“He added: ‘It’s just — they allow 16-year-olds to bring liquor to a party. They provide liquor to underage people, and you wonder how these things happen. Well, that’s how these things happen. The court is totally disgusted with that whole thing,” the outlet added.

Following the controversial reversal, the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board filed a complaint against Judge Adrian in June 2022. After months of deliberation and a two-day testimony in November, the Illinois Courts Commissions, empowered to impose discipline on judges, concluded their investigation, leading to the judge’s removal.

Calhoun County Judge Charles Burch is set to temporarily take over Adrian’s cases. The legal community and public now await the announcement of a permanent replacement.

Following the ruling, Adrian, who plans to retire, maintained his stance, insisting on his integrity and decision-making during the controversial hearing.

Below is the commission’s order for removal:

EUROPEAN FARMERS REVOLT: Tractors Break Through Barriers in Brussels – Agricultural Workers Surround EU Headquarters, Spray Liquid Manure at Police in Major Show of Force (VIDEOS)

By: Paul Serran — February 26th 2024 at 12:26

With each passing day, the great European Farmers Revolt gets bigger, louder, and… well, more foul smelling.

Hundreds of tractors and thousands of farmers have completely surrounded the meeting of EU agriculture ministers.

Bloomberg reported:

“It’s the second major protest in Brussels in recent weeks as farmers complain about bureaucratic hurdles, trade deals, climate-related rules and efforts to help Ukraine sell its grain.”

[…] Security was tight around the EU offices, with police clad in riot gear. Tractors rushed police barricades in several places, breaking through the razor wire in at least one location, according to videos posted on social media. The area around the building where EU agriculture ministers are meeting on Monday was littered with hay, barley and burning tires.

The tractors carried various slogans, including ‘I feed you but I die’, ‘1Europe wants us to die’ and ‘Our death is your hunger’. Some tractors also blocked a key intersection providing access to the main Brussels airport.”

“Farmers clashed with police in Belgium on Monday, spraying officers with liquid manure and throwing eggs and flares at them in a fresh show of force as the European Union’s agriculture ministers met in search of ways to address the protesters’ concerns.

[…] The protests are the latest in a series of rallies and demonstrations by farmers across Europe.

[…] On the other side of the barriers in Brussels, the ministers were keen to show that they were listening, and a group of farmers’ representatives were allowed in for talks.”

JUST IN: Trump Appeals Judgment in NYC Civil Fraud Case as Amount Owed Swells to $454 Million with Daily Penalties

By: Cristina Laila — February 26th 2024 at 12:40

President Trump on Monday appealed the $454 million judgment in the New York City Soviet-style show trial brought by AG Letitia James.

Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James sought $370 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she also sought to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. She accused Trump of inflating his assets and defrauding lenders and insurance companies.

Earlier this month Judge Engoron ordered Trump to pay more than a $355 million fine and barred Trump “from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years.”

Engoron claimed Trump and each of the defendants “participated in aiding and abetting the conspiracy to commit insurance fraud by their individual acts in falsifying business records and valuations, causing materially fraudulent SFCs to be intentionally submitted to insurance companies.”

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were also ordered to pay millions of dollars in fines.

Eric Trump and Don Jr. were ordered to pay $4,013,024 each.

“There is also sufficient evidence that Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump intentionally falsified business records. They served as attorneys-in-fact for Donald Trump and were under a heightened duty of prudence,” Engoron wrote.

Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg was ordered to pay $1 million.

The $355 million judgment PLUS daily interest has swelled to $454 million.

Letitia James has been taunting Trump by posting a daily calculator of compounding interest on the judgment.

Trump’s lawyers asked the appeals court to determine whether Judge Engoron abused his power or “acted in excess” of his jurisdiction, according to AP.

AP reported:

Donald Trump has appealed his $454 million New York civil fraud judgment, challenging a judge’s finding that Trump lied about his wealth as he grew the real estate empire that launched him to stardom and the presidency.

The former president’s lawyers filed notices of appeal Monday asking the state’s mid-level appeals court to overturn Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 16 verdict in Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit and reverse staggering penalties that threaten to wipe out Trump’s cash reserves.

Trump’s lawyers wrote in court papers that they’re asking the appeals court to decide whether Engoron “committed errors of law and/or fact” and whether he abused his discretion or “acted in excess” of his jurisdiction.

CPAC: Peter Navarro Shares Last Words Before Heading To Prison “If We Lose, We Will Surely Lose this Country” (Video)

By: Margaret Flavin — February 26th 2024 at 13:00
Image: Screenshot Forbes Breaking News

The Gateway Pundit reported back in early February that a federal judge denied former Trump aide Dr. Peter Navarro’s request to stay out of prison pending a decision from the appellate court.

In September, Navarro, 74, was convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena in Liz Cheney’s January 6 investigation.

Navarro did not comply with the subpoena because he said Trump told him to assert executive privilege.

Biden’s corrupt DOJ sought a six-month prison term for Navarro, and late last month, Judge Amit Mehta sentenced Peter Navarro to 4 months in prison and pay a $9,500 fine.

** Please donate to Peter Navarro’s GiveSendGo campaign!

On Saturday, Navarro spoke to a packed crowd at CPAC, his last speech before heading to prison.

Great to be with you here. There’s Mercy.

Just two shout-outs. One, I want to thank Matt Schlapp for the opportunity to come here. It’s been a while since I’ve been at CPAC, but it’s a great honor to be with you, and shout out to Pixie; it’s her birthday and wish you were here, love. All right, now I’m going to get really serious. Most serious six minutes you’re going to have, I think, probably in this whole thing.But you need to hear this.

And what I’m going to talk about is this thing called lawfare that President Trump talked a lot about today. And I’m going to talk a little bit about it. But this is my judgment, one of the most important things we’re facing. So what is this thing?

Lawfare? Partisan politics by weaponized justice means… look at what’s going on. Democrats Biden, Garland and Smith, Bragg, James and Willis, in a sizable chunk of the radical wing of the Democrat party, not only want to stop Republican Donald Trump from retaking the White House, they want this presidential titan, and I was there when he was that titan and providential titan who kept our nation in prosperity and out of war for four beautiful years. They want him to die cruelly in prison. We must face that reality.

If you don’t believe, they may well succeed, just look at my own situation. As I stand before you on this stage, as a former high-ranking Trump official now just weeks away from a prison cell. The parallels between my own and Trump’s case are indeed striking. I am the first, the first senior White House advisor ever convicted of contempt of Congress. Trump is the first former president ever, ever to be criminally indicted. I was put in leg irons by armed FBI agents who far more easily could have asked for my voluntary surrender.

Trump was the target of an equally unnecessary armed FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. I was indicted by the Biden Garland Department of Justice despite a more than 50-year policy against compelled congressional testimony by senior White House officials like me. DOJ’s hypocrite prosecutors would falsely argue to my jury that I had acted above the law when they knew damn well I was simply honoring the Constitution, fulfilling my oath of office, and obeying the law the Department of Justice’s own Office of Legal Counsel had long articulated and supported.

Now here’s the deal. Listen carefully.

Trump likewise faces a dizzying array of charges and more than 700 years in prison, based on equally novel and baseless applications of laws and statutes that have been tortured and twisted by partisan prosecutors. Then there is this. You must know this. Every single major actor in the prosecutions of both me and Trump are what? Democrats?

Yet the Democrats and their useful partisan idiots in the legacy media, aka the fake news, want you to believe our prosecutions are not political. No, nothing to see here. In my case, a Democrat House majority held me in contempt on an overwhelmingly partisan vote. A Democrat-controlled Department of Justice indicted and prosecuted me. A heavily skewed Democrat jury right here in the District of Columbia, featuring members who had expressed anti-Trump sentiments in voir dire, convicted me.

Trump, similarly, has been indicted solely by Democrats. Here’s the deal. The probability of the former president getting a jury broadly reflective of the American electorate is near zero in the bluest of blue cities of where, Washington DC, Manhattan, and Atlanta.

Then there is this. And this was a big surprise to me. The utter repudiation in both our cases of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall’s admonition that every defendant has the right to what? To a full and fair defense. By the time my case got to the jury, the judge had stripped me of every possible defense, thereby making my conviction a foregone conclusion. As my attorney said, ‘That can’t be the law.’ But it was in that court.

I see the same process unfolding now as I follow the myriad Trump court cases across multiple jurisdictions, Democrat-appointed judges are systematically stripping away the full, fair, and rightful defenses of Trump.

As I ready myself for a prison cell, my question to all of you here is this: What are you going to do as you leave CPAC to protect your own right to vote for Donald Trump, if you choose? Just what are you going to do to throw those rascals out who, just a few short miles away from us in the White House and on Capitol Hill and at the FBI and the Department of Injustice, are doing so much damage to our economy, our border, our national security, and ultimately, you know what, our political institutions, civility, and social fabric.

As we hurdle now towards a November 2024 election, where the differences between the parties and candidates are so stark, make no mistake about that and the stakes are so high, we are indeed in the middle of a ferocious and often vicious fight where losing is not an option. For if we lose, we will surely lose this country. You know that.I know that.  If we lose, we will surely lose this country.

Therefore, and I’m so glad you came to CPAC, because this is the place you must get involved in. In the canon of Steve Bannon, who you’re about to see. What does that mean? What does that involvement mean?

It means action, action, action.

And both Steve Bannon’s War Room and the beautiful CPAC that Mercy Schlapp and Matt Schlapp have brought to you can help show you the way in concrete ways.

I’m Peter Navarro. I will see you all on the other side.

Don’t Be Fooled by Tulsi Gabbard She’s More Dangerous Than Kamala Harris (VIDEO)

By: Grant Stinchfield — February 26th 2024 at 13:20


Tulsi Gabbard’s recent takedowns of the Democrat Party sounds well and good.  But what is she really up to? This is a woman who ran for President as a Democrat; she has pushed for “assault weapons” bans, universal basic income, Medicare for all, free college tuition, and abortion with very few limits. Tulsi Gabbard even supported a federal $15 minimum wage. This is not a woman we want anywhere near President Trump of the Office of the Vice Presidency.

Tulsi Gabbard is a Trojan Horse. She may be an unwitting Trojan Horse, but still a Trojan Horse at that. I will show you proof from recent interviews that she has not changed her position on important issues like gun rights. Just because Tulsi doesn’t support endless wars or endless funding of Ukraine does not make her a Conservative. Fox has embraced her, that should tell you all you need to know.

This podcast is for anyone who thinks Tulsi Gabbard would make a great running mate for Donald J. Trump. She would not!

More Trouble for Fani: Fulton County DA Fani Willis and Lover Nathan Wade Exchanged 11,865 Text Messages Before He Was Hired to Prosecute Trump – And They Both Lied About Affair Under Oath

By: Jim Hoft — February 26th 2024 at 13:40
Fani Willis screams at attorneys after she is questioned about her love affair with her co-worker Nathan Wade.
Fani Willis and Nathan Wade are prosecuting President Trump and 18 associates in Fulton County for filing false papers and making false statements to the courts. Now Fani and her man have been caught doing the same thing, except they lied about it under oath in court! – Jonathan Turley

The latest revelations against Fani Willis and Nathan Wade could not be more problematic for the two lovebirds. A new court filing revealed this past weekend that Fani and Nathan exchanged 11,865 text messages in the months leading up to their famed case against Donald Trump and 18 associates for allegedly lying about the 2020 election.

It’s obvious Willis and Wade lied under oath about the length of their affair. Now the two lovers could and should face charges for committing perjury.  This could be the end of the line for Fani and Nathan.

Jonathan Turley writes.

“The allegations could not be more serious. Wade and Willis are prosecuting defendants for filing false papers and making false statements to courts. They are now accused of the same conduct, including allegedly lying under oath.”

Paul Sperry reported on X: “11,865: The number of voice calls + text messages exchanged b/t Fani Willis & her supposed non-boyfriend Nathan Wade in the 11 mos before she hired him to prosecute Trump. That averages out to 35 communications PER DAY. Before she hired him. Yet they insist they were just friends”

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) February 25, 2024

Turley posted this on Sunday.

In a new filing in the court, counsel for defendants in the 2020 election case have submitted telephone records indicating that Willis and Wade exchanged over 2,000 phone calls in the first 11 months of 2021.

Those calls, it is alleged, contradict the sworn testimony of both prosecutors on their relationship. They have insisted that they did not become romantically involved until shortly after Wade was hired by Willis in the Trump case. They also downplayed how often they spoke, describing a limited level of contact in 2021.

Investigator Charles Mittelstadt submitted an affidavit discussing over 2,000 voice calls and just under 12,000 text messages from the 11-month period of January to November 2021. That later date is when Wade was hired.

The investigator noted “a prevalence of calls made in the evening hours and suggested that some indicate that Wade had stayed overnight at Willis’s home despite denials on the stand. Challengers are claiming that the records indicate that Wade may have been over to the home as many as 30 times during that period.

In her testimony, Willis was combative, declaring “It’s a lie! It’s a lie!” when asked about a romantic relationship preceding her hiring of Wade. Many in the media praised Willis as showing what a “good lawyer” she is in attacking the media, the defendants, and critics.

If Wade did not stay over, the parties are claiming that his cellphone seemed to:

The attorneys questioning Fani and Nathan Wade set a trap for the lovebirds. They fell right into it.

ATTRNEY SADOW: So if phone records were to reflect that you were making phone calls from the same location as [Willis’] condo before November 1, 2021 and it was on multiple occasions, the phone records would be wrong?

WADE: If the phone records reflected that, yessir.

Via Charlie Kirk.

Attorney for President Trump, Steve Sadow, specifically asked Nathan Wade under oath how many times he’d visited Fani Willis’s residence in 2021:

BREAKING: Alvin Bragg Asks Judge to Gag Trump Ahead of ‘Hush Money’ Trial

By: Cristina Laila — February 26th 2024 at 14:00

Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked Judge Merchan to gag Trump ahead of the ‘hush money’ trial scheduled for March 25.

“[Trump] has a long history of making public and inflammatory remarks about the participants in various judicial proceedings against him, including jurors, witnesses, lawyers and court staff,” prosecutors said in their filing, according to ABC News. Prosecutors added that Trump’s remarks “pose a significant and imminent threat to the orderly administration of this criminal proceeding.”

ABC News reported:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday asked a judge to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump, who is charged in New York with falsifying business records related to hush money he paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Trump is already under a limited gag order in his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., and prosecutors in Manhattan are seeking a similar “narrowly tailored order restricting certain prejudicial extrajudicial statements by defendant.”

Far-left NYC Judge Juan Merchan ruled that Trump’s trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case brought by Alvin Bragg will begin March 25.

Judge Merchan issued the ruling after a judge in Jack Smith’s January 6 case postponed the March 4 trial date. He also turned down requests for a delay from Trump’s legal team.

“It is completely election interference to say ‘you are going to sit in this courtroom in Manhattan,” said Trump’s defense lawyer Todd Blanche.

Alvin Bragg indicted Trump last April on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.

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.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Trump was hit with a criminal charge for every payment he made to his former lawyer Michael Cohen in connection with the ‘hush payments’ to the two women.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg went through the Trump Organization’s ledger and charged him down the line per payment to Cohen.

Every single payment to Michael Cohen was made in 2017 while Trump was president.

Bragg’s office copy and pasted the same charge 34 times and just switched out the check or voucher number.

Alvin Bragg didn’t explain what exactly he wanted to convict Trump of in the charging documents.

Bragg told reporters he doesn’t have to tell anyone what the underlying felony is.

He’s just allowed to charge Trump with 34 felonies without explaining what the underlying offense was.

A video has just been released showing a 35-yr-old man by the name of Vasiliev Pyotr Alexeieovich, who claims he was ordered by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukraine Ministry of Defense in November 2023 to take an explosive device to the parking garage of the Four Seasons Hotel in Moscow and place it under the vehicle used to transport Tucker Carlson. Mr. Alexeievich claims he was going to be paid $4,000 for completing the task of attaching the explosive device to Carlson’s vehicle, but he was detained in the planning process. Near the end of the videotaped confession, the stone-faced alleged criminal admits his target was “American journalist Tucker Carlson” and says, “I’m sorry for what I did.”

The original report was published at mvlehti.net.

The report has not been verified at this time.

The report claims he is a Russian working for Ukrainian intelligence.

The man is reading from a prepared script.
He is native Russian.

Russia says Ukraine tried to assassinate Tucker Carlson prior to his interview with Putin.

He was ordered to use an explosive device on Tucker’s car parked in the garage of the Four Seasons Hotel in Moscow.

Pelosi Says There Needs to be an Intervention in Trump’s Mental Health (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 26th 2024 at 14:45

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) recently sat down for a softball interview with Sky News’ Yalda Hakim at the Munich Security Conference.

Pelosi said European leaders shouldn’t worry about ‘something that may never happen’ when asked to respond to Trump’s possible reelection this November.

She also said the US has an obligation to keep funding Ukraine as its war with Russia rolls after two years, even though Ukraine is not a member of NATO.

Pelosi said Trump is really “grotesque” and claimed there needs to be an intervention in Trump’s mental health.

“Europeans here are worried. They see America and they say America is stepping back. You’ve dealt with Donald Trump. What advice would you give them?” Yalda Hakim asked Pelosi.

Instead of saying the US doesn’t care what Europeans think, Pelosi said Trump is really grotesque.

Pelosi misunderstood the question and trashed Trump.

“Him? Have an intervention into your mental health, your political viability. He’s really grotesque and it’s really a shame,” Pelosi said as she floated baseless Russian conspiracy theories.

Meet the Experienced Democrat Operative the Biden Regime Placed In Fani Willis’s Office to Target President Trump – Operative Is Reportedly the “Brainchild” Behind the Collusion

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 26th 2024 at 15:40
Credit: Russell Library screenshot

The Biden regime’s collusion with corrupt Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis runs even deeper than believed, with an experienced Democrat operative reportedly serving as the “brainchild” behind it.

Breitbart News today uncovered explosive information that the Regime planted the operative inside Willis’s office to target President Donald Trump.

Sources told Breitbart News that the Regime planting the operative presents a “strong argument” that they have interfered in the 2024 presidential election.

Breitbart reports the operative in question is Jeff DiSantis, who serves as the county’s Deputy District Attorney and has far more extensive professional experience than your usual county employee.

For example, DiSantis worked on Willis’s 2020 campaign and was the former Executive Director of the Democrat Party of Georgia with extensive knowledge of campaign finance law. He also served as the Deputy Director of Compliance for the DNC.

Here is more from DiSantis’s official campaign bio, which illustrates the breadth of his experience in Democrat politics:

Jeff has also worked for candidates in 30 states running for a variety of offices, including President of the United States, United States Senator, Governor, United States Representative, Attorney General, District Attorney, and Mayor, as well as for a national political party committee.

He has served as a campaign manager, media consultant, pollster, press spokesman, research director, and policy advisor.

Sources told Breitbart that DiSantis is the “brainchild” behind the collusion:

DiSantis did this. He’s the one. He is the one pulling all the strings.

He was the one that walled her (Willis) off. He was in every important meeting. He is the brainchild behind this. That is the connection to the White House.

DiSantis is the one pulling the strings on this whole thing. Everybody heard Fani testify.

It’s no secret that she’s not smart. That is how she sounds and acts every day of the week.

The Gateway Pundit’s Cristina Laila previously reported Willis received two letters from Joe Biden’s White House Counsel amid its Trump witch hunt, providing incontrovertible evidence that the Regime coordinated with her office.

In August, she hit Trump and 18 others with garbage RICO and conspiracy charges for challenging the 2020 election results in Georgia.

Willis then visited the White House just DAYS after the Georgia grand jury recommended indictments, perhaps to receive further instructions from Regime officials.

Given Biden’s awful poll numbers, his most straightforward path to “victory” in November is seeing Trump convicted and thrown in jail. The lengths he and his handlers are going to disqualify Trump rivals similar efforts by third-world dictators to shove their opponents aside.

The Era of Grand Treaties from the Cold War is Done – Get Over It and Start Acting Like It

By: John Mills — February 26th 2024 at 16:00

The Kellog-Briand Treaty of 1928, the Treaty to Outlaw War worked really well, as we all know.  Within four years, World War II broke out in China as the starting point for a worldwide conflagration, which made the “Great War’ look tame and mostly peaceful.  Previously, the Washington Naval Treaty savaged the Allied Navies before World War II while the two major Axis powers cheated and put their finger underneath the scale to make sure their capital ships were much lighter than they appeared so as not to violate tonnage limitations.

Representative Mike Turner’s recent freak-out over something in space was unprecedented.  Was it a stunt to push Ukraine Aid?  Likely.  Was something happening in space?  Likely.  This media drama flare-up created many branches and sequels of national security thought.  First important take away – one of the remaining treaties from the Cold War era, the Space Treaty, is being roundly ignored.  In the 1960s, the US created the amazing X-20 Dyna-Soar which spooked the Soviets into thinking America had a Fractional Orbital Bombardment capability, which made them sign the treaty.  We didn’t really have it, but we were on a pathway to developing it, we cancelled it and walked away after the Soviets signed the treaty.

Now, if the Russians have a nuke in space, the Chinese likely have 10, plus an X-20 like vehicle. Representative Turner’s theatrics also showed clearly the hyper-over-focus of the Intelligence Community on Russia, while ignoring the Chinese nuclear build up frenzy.  The IC perhaps is still being influenced by the fraud of the 51 Intelligence Officer Letter of 2020 and chooses to ignore the much larger Chinese threat.

Biden Team Obsessed with Treaties

The Blue Team loves treaties, which has created a cult for treaties in the American National Security apparatus. Working on a treaty team is the premier creme de la creme as far as gigs for the national security bureaucrat. You get to talk in abstract, sophisticated terms, using a fake British accent while living the high life in Vienna, Austria at the U.S. Government Office complex (same place the corrupt and penetrated Biden Iran Team of Rob Malley works). Curiously, Huawei appears to have a large footprint in the same building. Must be a total coincidence.

Vienna is not the only place treaty teams work. They get to go to all these beautiful places, eating smoked salmon, living a life detached from reality and actually having to accomplish something. Occasionally, they also get to go on TDY (Temporary Duty) trips for treaty verification, but only after many months of pre-coordination to ensure the inspectee hides everything. This is the Pakistan model of looking for Bin Laden. Looking for Bin Laden and finding Bin Laden are two totally different things. Pakistan and the National Security Bureaucrat know that the nano-second Bin Laden or a nuclear violation is found, the largesse, cushy trips, and smoked salmon will cease.

China signed the Bio Warfare Treaty, yet we still have Wuhan

Treaties work when they are enforced and there is a credible deterrence.  China signed the Biological Warfare Treaty and yet we had and have the Wuhan Laboratory.  Even worse, there’s now the evidence that Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institute for Health helped fund this rogue lab that was operating in violation of the treaty.  What should have happened with Wuhan?  Credible deterrence would have been a robust American defensive capability against Bio-Weapons which was allowed under the Treaty – but American Bio Defense capabilities have evaporated.  The 1992 Nunn-Lugar legislation created the “Cooperative Threat Reduction Treaty” (CTRT) with the Soviets – but also was updated and evolved in 2003 and beyond to create the mysterious “Bio-Lab” program – for which the American public still does not have answers.  Bottom line – there was no deterrence, only assistance for the Chinese to create their offensive bio-lab in Wuhan while America created “bio-labs” using the the morphed CTRT.

Did the Russians violate treaties in the past? Absolutely. The blatant disregard by Russia for the Intermediate Nuclear Force Treaty was a well-known secret for years. The Obama-Biden Team, though, did nothing but clutch pearls and seek to grovel to the Russians for more treaties. President Trump saw the utter foolishness of this and came to the obvious conclusion of why waste time and resources on a treaty that was patently absurd. This led to the move to re-introduce Tomahawk with Nuclear Warhead for regional deterrence which is now law in Section 1618 of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act which overrides the Biden Team’s opposition to nuclear Tomahawks to defend America and American Strategic Partners.

Treaties can play a role when they are enforced and deterrence is credible

Treaties only work if there is a credible deterrence in effect that malign nations like China or Russia respect and there is clarity and resolve to inflict cost for non-conformance. China and Russia knew President Trump would inflict cost and they responded accordingly.  They also know they can play the Blue Team indefinitely.

The original Cold War Treaties worked because there was a credible American nuclear, defensive biological, and chemical capability that was being maintained and improved.  When we didn’t think the Soviets and Chinese Communists were getting the message, we introduced new capabilities like the X-20, MX Missile, Pershing II, Ground Launched Tomahawk, and many other moves that deterred Chinese and Soviet gamesmanship.  With the Biden Team, there is no credible deterrence or enforcement.  This creates a highly flammable world that is far more dangerous than ever before.

Judge Orders FBI Informant Who Blew the Whistle on Biden-Burisma Bribery Scheme to Remain Jailed Pending Trial

By: Cristina Laila — February 26th 2024 at 16:20

*Biden’s revenge*

A federal judge on Monday ordered the FBI informant indicted by Biden’s DOJ for blowing the whistle on the Biden-Burisma bribery scheme to remain behind bars pending trial.

Alexander Smirnov, the FBI’s Confidential Human Source who blew the whistle on the Biden-Burisma bribery scheme, was arrested again on the same charges last Thursday after the federal prosecutors deemed him a flight risk.

Smirnov, a dual citizen of Israel and the US, was previously released from pre-trial detention by Las Vegas-based magistrate judge Daniel Albregts. Prosecutors urged Albregts to keep Smirnov behind bars because he has ‘ties to Russian intel officials’ who could help him flee. They also claimed Smirnov had access to millions of dollars and could flee on an Israeli passport.

Albregts refused to detain Smirnov. He just wasn’t buying what the federal prosecutors were alleging.

“I understand the concern about foreign intelligence agencies potentially resettling Mr. Smirnov outside of the United States, his connections to them, but I think on some level that’s speculative as well,” Albregts said, according to Politico. “Because, as Mr. Chesnoff points out, I don’t know what Mr. Smirnov will be thought of in Russia, but my guess is at this stage he probably thinks that’s not the most attractive place to go either if he was in fact inclined to go hide somewhere.”

Prosecutors filed additional charges against Smirnov in California since the Vegas-based magistrate judge refused to detain him.

Smirnov was arrested last Thursday while he was meeting with his lawyers which shows he was likely not a flight risk.

US District Judge Otis Wright, a Bush appointee, denied Smirnov bail.

Fox News reported:

A California federal judge on Monday denied a bail release to ex-FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who stands accused of lying about the Biden family’s business ties.

U.S. District Judge Otis Wright ordered that Smirnov would remain in detention ahead of his trial, concurring with prosecutors who argued he presented a high flight risk. Lawyers for Smirnov argued that he had already invested significant funds into his efforts to defeat the charges, indicating he had no intention to flee.

“He didn’t try to run. He didn’t try to move money,” defense lawyer David Chesnoff said of Smirnov’s conduct in recent days.

Wright was unconvinced, however, telling Smirnov that he was “not satisfied there are conditions … that will satisfy my concern whether you will flee the jurisdiction.”

Hunter Biden Claims ‘Future of Democracy’ Depends on His Sobriety

By: Guest Contributor — February 26th 2024 at 16:40

This article originally appeared on WND.com

Guest by post by Bob Unruh 

‘I often do think of the profound consequences of failure here’

Hunter Biden has been a scandal that just keeps on giving for Joe Biden.

There were the millions of dollars he was given by Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, when Joe Biden was handling U.S.-Ukraine police for Barack Obama. And the scandal over how a prosecutor investigating the company was fired on Joe Biden’s orders.

Then there other payments from actual enemies of America overseas that came in to the family, apparently through channels run by Hunter Biden.

There were the scandalous drug- and booze-fueled events that appeared in a laptop computer Hunter Biden abandoned at a repair shop.

There were the unpaid taxes – millions of dollars. There was that episode where he claimed on a federal gun purchase form that he wasn’t addicted at the time of the buy, but then he later wrote in a book he WAS.

Now Hunter Biden has given an interview in which he, modestly, claims that the “future of democracy” depends on his … sobriety!

It is the New Yort Post that has outlined his extravagant claims.

“Well, at least he’s modest,” the report begins. “First son Hunter Biden said in a rare interview published Monday that him staying clean is vital because ‘I have something much bigger than even myself at stake.'”

He claimed, talking with Axios, that, “We are in the middle of a fight for the future of democracy.”

Democrats often have claimed that “democracy” is at stake in the 2024 presidential race which likely will be Joe Biden against President Donald Trump. Their claim then is that a Trump victory would be the “end” of democracy. And Hunter Biden apparently believes more scandalous behavior on his part would reflect poorly on Joe Biden.

However, Biden has issued executive orders, during his time in office so far, like an omnipotent, changing definitions of words and altering rules and regulations that, effectively, change the laws, without approval from Congress. He’s claimed to have “forgiven,” actually moved from borrowers’ shoulders to the taxpayers’, billions of dollars in student loans after the Supreme Court said he couldn’t.

Hunter Biden’s claim comes as the Supreme Court is considering whether the Biden administration’s collusion with social media companies to restrict opinions and speech about the 2020 election, on COVID, on vaccinations, and more, was legitimate, or a constitutional violation.

Hunter Biden claimed, “You have to believe that you’re worth the work, or you’ll never be able to get sober. But I often do think of the profound consequences of failure here.”

Hunter Biden continued, “Maybe it’s the ultimate test for a recovering addict — I don’t know. I have always been in awe of people who have stayed clean and sober through tragedies and obstacles few people ever face. They are my heroes, my inspiration.”

The White House repeatedly has excused Hunter Biden’s behaviors as the result of his addictions, trying to generate sympathy for apparently illegal actions, not condemnation.

The young Biden himself has used his addictions as a defense against federal indictments and a House impeachment investigation of his father.

He initially refused to comply with a House subpoena to testify on those issues, but later backtracked and promised to appear before the House at a transcribed interview.

Hunter Biden said he was “irresponsible with my finances” while under the influence.

And he claimed that was the basis for the impeachment inquiry and that’s “beyond absurd.”

In a story that has changed several times, his latest claims are that Joe Biden wasn’t “financially involved” in his overseas income, even though evidence suggests he might have been. There’s been repeated testimony from witnesses that Joe Biden was “the brand” that the family was selling to buyers in China, Russia, Mexico, Ukraine and more.

According to the Post reporting, “The House impeachment inquiry has produced bank records and testimony confirming that Hunter and James Biden introduced then-Vice President Joe Biden to several foreign associates before striking the lucrative deals.”

Hunter Biden said, in the interview, “I feel a responsibility to everyone struggling through their own recovery to succeed. I don’t care whether you’re 10 years sober, two years sober, two months sober or 200 years sober — your brain at some level is always telling you there’s still one answer. Embrace the state in which you came into recovery — which is that feeling of hopelessness which forces you into a choice.”

WATCH: “We’ve Got a Runner at The IRS” – IRS Official SPRINTS Away When Confronted by James O’Keefe, Hides, Then Runs Again

By: Jordan Conradson — February 26th 2024 at 17:00

James O’Keefe released new footage on Monday after chasing down an IRS Official who told his undercover journalist that the IRS is spying on Americans and it’s likely unconstitutional.

When confronted by O’Keefe and shown the video released last week, the IRS official denied his identity, saying, “That’s not me,” repeatedly.

The Gateway Pundit reported on O’Keefe Media Group’s undercover interview with Alex Mena with the IRS’s criminal investigations unit in New York. In the secretly recorded conversation, Mena revealed that the IRS uses artificial intelligence to spy on American citizens and businesses by combing through their bank accounts without a warrant.

WATCH: O’Keefe Strikes Again – IRS Official Tells O’Keefe Media Group Reporter That the IRS uses AI to Spy on Americans’ Bank Accounts: Is It Constitutional? “I doubt it,” says IRS Official Alex Mena

The IRS is also “going after the small people” and “destroying people’s lives,” and all of the agents are “like robots,” said Mena.

The 87,000 new IRS agents funded by the so-called Inflation Reduction Act have no interest in going after criminal organizations aiding and abetting the cartels at our southern border. Instead, they want to punish regular Americans who make mistakes on their taxes.

After denying his identity to O’Keefe, Mena began a marathon sprint “a mile down 7th avenue in NYC,” says O’Keefe.

Mena was then found hiding in a doorway before he started running again when they found him.

Watch below.

Via James O’Keefe:

Mena then attempted to hide by standing in a shadowy doorway on Commerce Street, before O’Keefe found him and Mena began running again. Mena, who said he works with Criminal Investigations for the IRS, denied his own identity to O’Keefe, saying “that’s not me.”

When he was confronted with the hidden camera footage, Mena added, “I’m really sorry”

NY Times: CIA Built 12 Secret Spy Bases in Ukraine Waging Shadow War Against Russia Since 2014 – John Brennan Caught in the Middle of It

By: Jim Hoft — February 26th 2024 at 17:20
John Brennan promising to bring stability to Ukraine while at the same time constructing spy outposts in the country.

On Sunday, The New York Times published a rare US admission that US intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine’s wartime decision-making but has established and financed high-tech command-and-control spy centers and was doing so long prior to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of two years ago.

According to Zero Hedge, The New York Times admitted that the program was established a decade ago and spans three different American presidents. The Times says the CIA program to modernize Ukraine’s intelligence services has “transformed” the former Soviet state and its capabilities into “Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin today.”

Zero Hedge reported:

This means that with the disclosure of the longtime “closely guarded secret” the world just got a big step closer to WW3, given it means the CIA is largely responsible for the effectiveness of the recent spate of attacks which have included direct drone hits on key oil refineries and energy infrastructure.

“Without them [the CIA and elite commandoes it’s trained], there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” according to Ivan Bakanov, former head of the SBU, which is Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency.

A main source of the NYT revelationsdisclosures which might come as no surprise to those never willing to so easily swallow the mainstream ‘official’ narrative of eventsis identified as a top intelligence commander named Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy.

Clearly, Kiev and Washington now want the world to know of the deep intelligence relationship they tried to conceal for over the past decade.

Kanekoa the Great posted this viral report earlier today on X.

The New York Times disclosed yesterday that the CIA built “12 Secret Spy Bases” in Ukraine, waging a shadow war against Russia for the past decade.

After a U.S.-supported violent coup toppled Ukraine’s democratically elected government, CIA Director John Brennan visited Kyiv in April 2014.

Shortly after, the new Ukrainian government launched an “anti-terror operation” against its Russian-speaking citizens in Eastern Ukraine.

For eight years leading up to Russia’s invasion in 2022, Ukraine’s government, with help from the CIA, relentlessly bombed Eastern Ukraine.

Millions of innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire of a geopolitical chess match between Russia and the United States.

This is part of the story often ignored by the Western press.

Of course, at The Gateway Pundit reported, the US also had biolabs in Ukraine until recently.

It wasn’t that long ago that Mitt Romney was threatening former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for suggesting the US was funding biolabs in Ukraine.

Back in March 2022, RINO Senator Mitt Romney accused former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of spreading ‘treasonous lies’ for simply talking about the US-funded biolabs in Ukraine.

“There are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release and spread deadly pathogens to US/world.” Gabbard Told FOX News earlier that week.

“We must take action now to prevent disaster. US/Russia/Ukraine/NATO/UN/EU must implement a ceasefire now around these labs until they’re secured and pathogens destroyed,” she added.

— Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) March 13, 2022

Tulsi Gabbard made her statement based on testimony from the Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs in Eurasia, Victoria Nuland.

Victoria Nuland admitted during testimony before a US Senate committee the existence of biological research labs in Ukraine.

Less than 24 hours later, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that reports of biolabs in Ukraine were fake news propagated by Russia.

The Democrat-fake news-media complex then attacked anyone who brought up the biolabs in Ukraine.

Mitt Romney lashed out at Tulsi Gabbard, saying, “Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives.”

Then this happened– Russia released alleged captured documents from Ukraine exposing evidence of US Military Biolabs in Ukraine.

Russia made the accusations in front of the United Nations General Assembly.

Breaking: Russia Releases Alleged Captured Documents Before UN Special Council Meeting Exposing Evidence of US Military Biolabs in Ukraine (VIDEO)

Now this–

The Pentagon then finally admitted in a public statement that there are 46 US-funded biolabs in Ukraine.

This is after months of lies and denials by Democrats, the Biden regime, and their fake news mainstream media!

The Pentagon FINALLY came clean.

The United States has also worked collaboratively to improve Ukraine’s biological safety, security, and disease surveillance for both human and animal health, providing support to 46 peaceful Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and disease diagnostic sites over the last two decades. The collaborative programs have focused on improving public health and agricultural safety measures at the nexus of nonproliferation.

Here is a screengrab from the US Department of Defense website.

The US intelligence services have been operating in Ukraine for years now.

By: Paul Serran — February 26th 2024 at 17:40

The aerial campaign waged by Joe Biden’s DoD and his Western allies against the Shia Islamist group Ansar Allah – popularly known as Houthis – seems  not to be working at all.

Not only the attacks against ships in the Red Sea are intensifying, but it now arises that the Houthis are also waging war at the bottom of the sea – and we are not talking about simple underwater drones.

Israeli press reports that four underwater communications cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti have destroyed in recent months.

The attacks are presumed to have been waged by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.

Jerusalem Post reported:

“The successful targeting of the four cables, which are believed to belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, marks a serious disruption of communications between Europe and Asia.”

The disruption will mostly affect the Gulf states and India.

“The AAE-1 cable connects East Asia to Europe via Egypt, connecting China to the West through countries such as Pakistan and Qatar.”

The Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable system connects southern Europe to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, the UAE, and India, while the Seacom cable connects Europe, Africa, and India.

“Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi movement, which is not the internationally recognized government of the Arab country but which controls its most populous segments, has been attacking international trade for months, proclaiming solidarity with Palestinians as Israel wages war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. 

The United States, United Kingdom, and allies have begun in recent months to take offensive actions against the Houthis in response to attacks, but the missile, helicopter, and underwater drone assaults on merchant ships have continued.”

Three months after the Houthis started attacking merchant vessels, Egypt is now asking Houthis to attack only Israeli ships.

Globes reported:

“Estimates are that the damage to communications activities is significant but not critical because other cables pass through the same region linking Asia, Africa and Europe that have not been hit. The repair of such a large number of underwater cables may take at least eight weeks according to estimates and involve exposure to risk from the Houthi terror organization. The telecommunications companies will be forced to look for companies that will agree to carry out the repair work and probably pay them a high risk premium.

[…] Senior executives at international communications and underwater cable companies have posted reports about the damage on LinkedIn and X.”

“Deceitful Criminal Conduct” – Jack Smith Claims Trump’s Handling of Classified Documents is Worse Than Biden’s Stolen Docs Case

By: Cristina Laila — February 26th 2024 at 18:00

Special Counsel Jack Smith argued Trump’s case of handling classified documents is much worse than Joe Biden’s stolen classified documents scandal.

This is the first time Jack Smith has addressed Special Counsel Robert Hur’s scathing report on Joe Biden’s mishandling of highly classified military materials.

Jack Smith opposed Trump’s motion to compel discovery in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case and accused Trump of “deceitful criminal conduct.”

“The defendants have not identified anyone who has engaged in a remotely similar suite of willful and deceitful criminal conduct and not been prosecuted. Nor could they,” Jack Smith’s prosecutor wrote in a 12-page filing reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

“Trump, unlike Biden, is alleged to have engaged in extensive and repeated efforts to obstruct justice and thwart the return of documents bearing classification markings,” Jack Smith’s prosecutor David Harbach added. “And the evidence concerning the two men’s intent — whether they knowingly possessed and willfully retained such documents — is also starkly different.”

President Trump was charged with 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information lawfully stored at his Mar-a-Lago estate protected by the Secret Service. Trump was also charged with 8 counts related to obstruction (including in a superseding indictment).

Biden’s stolen classified documents scandal is MUCH WORSE. He was NOT president when he snuck classified documents out of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) and stored them in unsecured locations.

Joe Biden STOLE SCIF-designated classified documents and improperly stored them at the Penn Biden Center, his Delaware garage, his Virginia rental home, and his lawyer’s Boston office.

Some of the most highly sensitive documents mishandled by Biden’s ‘executive assistant’ were stored at Penn Biden Center in an unlocked office and closet.

The ‘executive assistant’ referred to in Hur’s report was none other than Biden’s gatekeeper Kathy Chung.

Chung (pictured below with Biden) mishandled the classified documents yet she still was not charged. Biden appointed her to a cushy job at the Pentagon as Lloyd Austin’s assistant where she has access to the nation’s most highly sensitive military materials.

Kathy Chung admitted to lawmakers that she knew the “EYES ONLY VPOTUS” folder (pictured below) contained highly classified material related to intelligence sources and methods – YET SHE WAS STILL NOT CHARGED.

“Mr. Biden’s office did not lock,” Hur said in his 345-page report, “and the adjoining outer office where Mr. Biden’s executive assistant maintained his files was always accessible through Mr. Biden’s office.” In a footnote, Hur added that “the Vice President’s office could only be locked from the inside using a panic button.”

Visitors from all walks of life, including dangerous actors from China and Ukraine had access to the classified documents stored at Penn Biden Center.

Hur couldn’t determine who had access to Biden’s stolen classified documents because security at the Penn Biden Center deleted all the visitor logs from 2017-2021.

There was virtually no real security at the Penn Biden Center and in 2019 visitors no longer needed a key fob or security escort to access the floor where all of the stolen classified documents were stored, according to Hur’s report reviewed by this reporter.

Furthermore, Joe Biden shared classified information with his ghost writer on at least three occasions.

According to Robert Hur, In 2017, Joe Biden read aloud classified passages about meetings in the Situation Room to his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer “verbatim on at least three occasions” – and Biden still wasn’t charged.

Biden wasn’t charged for reading classified information to his ghostwriter because jurors could conclude his actions were “unintentional.”

It gets worse….

Joe Biden’s ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer deleted digital audio files of recordings of his conversations with Biden after learning about Special Counsel Robert Hur’s appointment.

According to Hur’s report, Zwonitzer deleted the files before he received a subpoena.

Technicians were able to recover the deleted recordings but Zwonitzer was not charged for deleting the files.

According to the report, portions of three of Zwonitzer’s recovered audio files appeared to be missing and a fourth file appeared to have portions overwritten with a separate recording.

The feds declined to charge Zwonitzer.

Kathy Chung was also not charged.

In contrast, Trump’s aides Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira were charged by Jack Smith. Nauta, a valet driver, with charged with 5 counts of concealing or withholding documents and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

De Oliveira, a Mar-a-Lago property manager, was hit with several obstruction charges in the classified documents case even though he didn’t know any of the boxes at Trump’s Florida residence contained classified materials. De Oliveira was unaware of the investigation and never saw any classified materials.

Trump’s handling of classified materials is not worse than Biden’s stolen classified documents case as Jack Smith argues.

This is a case of selective prosecution and a glaring example of a two-tiered justice system.

Famous Evangelist: ‘No Question, There’s an Anti-Christ Spirit in the World Today

By: Guest Contributor — February 26th 2024 at 18:20
Rev. Franklin Graham prays at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2020

This article originally appeared on WND.com

Guest by post by Bob Unruh 

Hammers U.S. media for ‘demonizing Christians who are conservatives’

The chief of the worldwide ministry Samaritan’s Purse, which responds with food, shelter and other supplies when disaster strikes around the world, is charging that the American media is driving “disdain” for Christians.

It’s not the only anti-faith ideology being promoted, warned Franklin Graham in a social media post.

“We’ve seen a rise in antisemitism around the world. This is very concerning—many Jewish people feel unsafe, even in this country where we thought antisemitism would never thrive,” he said.

That largely has exploded since last October, when Muslim terrorists in Hamas, based in Gaza, invaded Israel and butchered some 1,200 civilians, often in horrific fashion.

The result has been a surge in antisemitism from those who blame the troubles of Palestinian people on the neighboring nation that continues to supply medicine, food and more to that population in Gaza.

But Graham warned of more:

“But we have also seen a rise in hatred or ‘disdain,’ as Fox News puts it, against Christians. This is fueled largely by agenda-driven media. They try to demonize Christians who are conservatives and people who support conservative candidates like Donald J. Trump, as if MAGA and Christian nationalism are bad words. They are fostering hate.”

He offered a quote from the Bible, John 15:18: “Jesus said, ‘If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.'”

Explained Graham, “No question, there’s an anti-Christ spirit in the world today.”

His comments followed a report from Fox News that documented research from the Family Research Council showing 436 “hostile incidents” against churches in America in 2023.

“This is more than double the number tracked in 2022 and more than eight times as many as the group found in 2018,” Fox reported. “The group said it used publicly available data to track 915 acts of hostility against churches over the past six years. Most of the incidents were acts of vandalism. The report also found gun-related incidents, arson and bomb threats used against churches.”

The FRC document said, “From January 2018 to November 2023, there were at least 709 occurrences of vandalism, 135 arson attacks or attempts, 22 gun-related incidents, 32 bomb threats, and 61 other incidents (assault, threats, interruption of worship services, etc.). In 39 cases, multiple types of hostility occurred (e.g., vandalism and arson).”

Just weeks ago, two people were injured during a shooting at the Houston megachurch, Lakewood Church, in which the shooter also was shot and killed by security guards.

Reported Fox, “FRC President Tony Perkins said the hostility toward Christians displayed by the Biden administration is mirrored by the growing persecution against Christians worldwide.”

Perkins said, “There is a common connection between the growing religious persecution abroad and the rapidly increasing hostility toward churches here at home: our government’s policies. The indifference abroad to the fundamental freedom of religion is rivaled only by the increasing antagonism toward the moral absolutes taught by Bible-believing churches here in the U.S., which is fomenting this environment of hostility toward churches.”

Man With “No Fixed Address” Arrested in Connection With Toddler’s Murder in Sanctuary County in Maryland

By: Anthony Scott — February 26th 2024 at 18:40

The Prince George’s County homicide unit has arrested 25-year-old Nelson Granados-Trejo in connection with the murder of a toddler in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

In the police report, it was noted Nelson Granados-Trejo had “no fixed address” but did not give details if he was an illegal immigrant.

On February 8th, two-year-old Jeremy Poou-Caceres was shot and killed on the 1400 block of Kanawha Street in Langley Park after two groups were involved in a shoot-out.

After launching an investigation, PG County police arrested four suspects in connection with the shoot-out and on Monday, Nelson Granados-Trejo was arrested and charged with first and second-degree murder.

Prince George’s County Council in 2019 voted unanimously to “bar all county agencies from engaging in immigration enforcement.”

Per PG County Police Department:

The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit identified and arrested a fifth suspect in connection with the murder of a toddler in Langley Park. The arrested suspect is 25-year-old Nilson Granados-Trejo of no fixed address.

On February 8, 2024, a detective working in the area of the 1400 block of Kanawha Street heard gunfire and attempted to locate a crime scene. The detective discovered two-year-old Jeremy Poou-Caceres suffering from a gunshot wound. The child was pronounced deceased a short time later at a hospital. The toddler’s mother was also shot. Her injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Since the murder, the PGPD has identified and arrested four other suspects – to include a 15-year-old male from Takoma Park and a 16-year-old male from Hyattsville. They are both charged as adults. The Homicide Unit has also arrested 33-year-old Israel Fuentes, Jr., of Lewisdale and 28-year-old Johnny Alejandro Turcios of Lewisdale. The preliminary investigation revealed two groups of males exchanged gunfire near where the victim and his mother were walking. The two victims were not the intended targets.

Granados-Trejo is charged with first and second degree murder. He is in the custody of the Department of Corrections on a no-bond Status.

Is “no fixed address” just another way of saying he’s an illegal alien? https://t.co/MtdoOCk3To pic.twitter.com/AKmKbbl32d

Canada’s Trudeau Slips Up Says “Russia Must Win This War” (VIDEO)

By: Anthony Scott — February 26th 2024 at 19:00

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a major blunder while delivering an address in Warsaw, Poland.

While speaking at a joint press conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Trudeau stated, “Russia must win the war.”

The prime minister of Canada quickly noticed his mistake and said “Sorry, Ukraine must win this war against Russia.”

Per WION:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau embarrassed himself big time on Monday (Feb 26) as he said, “Russia must win the war,” during an address in Warsaw, Poland. However, he immediately corrected himself and said he meant to say “Ukraine must win this war against Russia”. Despite the apology, users on social media pulled no punches and bashed the Canadian leader for ‘speaking his heart out.’

“We know that Russia must win this war. Sorry, Ukraine must win this war against Russia,” said the Canadian PM, while immediately correcting his unintended mistake.

Trudeau’s gaffe came as he stood alongside his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk during a press briefing in Poland’s capital. The clip has now gone viral on the internet, serving as ammunition for his opponents at home and abroad.

Despite correcting himself, The Toronto Sun and several users on X compared Trudeau to Biden.

Biden Takes a Shot at Trump as He Chomps on an Ice Cream Cone (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 26th 2024 at 19:20

Joe Biden traveled to New York on Monday to participate in a campaign event.

World War 3 is looming and Biden is at a Van Leeuwen ice cream shop in New York having a laugh with late-night comedian Seth Meyers.

NATO and EU states are ‘considering sending troops to Ukraine’ and French President Macron said ‘nothing should be excluded’ as he announced a missile coalition.

Meanwhile, Biden is chomping on an ice cream cone.

“My national security adviser tells me that we’re close, we’re close, it’s not done yet. And my hope is that by next Monday,” Biden told reporters as he ate his mint chip ice cream cone.

Biden took a shot at Trump when asked about his visit to the southern border.

Both Biden and Trump are visiting the southern border on Thursday. This is Biden’s second visit (photo op) to the border in his entire life. He’s only visiting the border because his poll numbers tanked.

“I’ve been planning to go Thursday. What I didn’t know is my good friend apparently is going,” Biden said of Trump.

JUST IN: Hazmat Team Arrives at Don Jr.’s Florida Home After He Receives Letter Containing White Powder and Death Threat

By: Cristina Laila — February 26th 2024 at 19:40

A hazmat team and firefighters arrived to Donald Trump Jr.’s Jupiter, Florida home after the former president’s son received a letter containing white powder and a written death threat.

“It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens,” Donald Trump Jr. told the Daily Caller. “Clearly, if this happened to a prominent Democrat it wouldn’t be tolerated and would drive news coverage for weeks. The media would blame all Republicans and force them to answer for it, But since it’s me, radical haters on the left will largely get a free pass and the media will barely flinch.”

It is unclear what the white substance was.

“The test results of the substance came up inconclusive on what it was exactly, but officials on the scene do not believe it is deadly,” a spokesman for Trump said.

The Daily Beast was first to report on the white powder mailed to Don Jr.’s home

“I understand Senator Roem is upset,” Sears said. “I’m not here to upset anyone. I’m here to do the job the people of Virginia have called me to do.”

Yahoo News reports, “Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears eventually said she was sorry, but she did not specifically say that to Sen. Danica Roem, D-Prince William County. Instead, she looked at each section of the chamber and said, ‘I apologize.'”

“However, she appeared agitated in making that apology, saying that while she meant no disrespect in her comment, she chastised Senate Democrats for what she claimed was ‘showing disrespect towards me,'” the report added.

The Washington Blade reports, “Roem in 2018 became the first trans person seated in a state legislature in the country when she assumed her seat in the Virginia House of Delegates.”

WATCH: Dr. Phil Rattles Clueless “The View” Hosts When He Changes the Subject and Goes Off on the Horrifying Impact School Shutdowns Had on Children During COVID

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 26th 2024 at 20:20
Credit: @ClayTravis

The hosts on “The View” thought when Dr. Phil McGraw appeared as a guest on Monday, he would only promote his upcoming book. But things then the famous TV host changed the subject and rattled hosts when he unloaded on the deleterious effects school closures had on innocent children during the COVID pandemic.

The segment took a turn when co-host Sara Haines asked Dr. Phil a question about how social media has resulted in parents adapting to ensure they’re still “the best voice” in children’s ears. He responded by noting how the introduction of smartphones caused young people to stop living active lives, resulting in a massive rise in depression and suicide.

Dr. Phil then shifted gears and detailed how the COVID-19 pandemic made everything worse for children. He specifically noted that when the schools shut down, reporters were no longer mandated to report on children being abused and sexually assaulted. The kids were instead sent back home to their abusers.

An upset Whoopi Goldberg attempted to excuse this terrible reality by claiming government officials were just “trying to save kid’s lives.” She then tried to claim America just got “lucky” because we kept kids locked up.

A stunned Ana Navarro missed Dr. Phil’s point completely and stupidly asked him if he was saying no school child died from COVID.

Dr. Phil was not interested in their nonsense. He gave the hosts one last reality check, pointing out that the children were the safest group and continue suffering from COVID mismanagement.

The audience applauded him at the end. Goldberg then thanked him, and the show went to a commercial break.

WATCH (Key segment begins at 7:09):

Dr. Phil just went on “The View” and dunked on all the hosts over how insane covid school closures were. And their audience cheers him! Dr. Phil from the rafters! pic.twitter.com/SQtq68SkFM

— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) February 26, 2024

Transcript:

Dr. Phil: In, like, ’08, ’09, smartphones came on, and kids started, they stopped living their lives and starting watching people live their lives, and so we saw the biggest spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and suicidality, since records have ever been kept, and it’s just continued on and on and on.

COVID hits ten years later. And the same agencies that knew that are the same agencies that shut down the schools for TWO YEARS. Who does that?

Who takes away the support system for these children and shuts it down?

And by the way, when they shut it down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and sexually molested, and in fact, sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers. And referrals dropped 50-60%.

Goldberg: They were trying to save kids’ lives. We know folks who died during this, so it wasn’t people who…

Dr. Phil: Not schoolchildren.

Goldberg: Well, you know what, we’re lucky ’cause we kept them out of the uh, uh, places they could get not sick.

Navarro (stunned): Are you saying no schoolchildren died from COVID?

Dr. Phil: I’m saying it was the safest group. They were the least vulnerable group.

They suffered and will suffer more from the mismanagement of COVID than they will from the exposure to COVID. And that’s not an opinion. That’s a fact.

GOING VIRAL: “60 Minutes Australia” Film Crew Gets Nasty Reality Check in 8-Year-Old Video Shoot While Doing a Propaganda Story About “Marginalized” Muslim Migrants in Sweden (VIDEO)

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 26th 2024 at 20:40
Credit: 60 Minutes screenshot

Resurfaced footage captured the moment a bleeding-heart film crew from Down Under got a cold dose of reality while doing a propaganda story about Muslim immigrants invading Sweden.

As Jim Hoft reported, this incident occurred back in Stockholm, Sweden in March 2016 but has exploded online in recent days. The migrants were reportedly from Somalia originally.

The footage opens with a Swedish man lamenting to a female Aussie reporter how the migrants don’t assimilate well into Swedish culture, are unemployed, and don’t speak Swedish well. One argues this makes them feel “marginalized.”

The reporter then happily notes that not everyone is “hostile” like this gentleman and engages in some small talk with a few migrants. Then, things took a sudden turn after the police left the area.

A group of masked migrant thugs arrive and start attacking. One throws a rock at the film crew to get them to leave.

The same masked migrant then kicks and smacks one of the photographers, causing him to stumble backward.

WATCH:

60 Minutes goes to #Sweden to make a propaganda segment to convince the world how beneficial and wonderful third world immigration is and they end up getting violently attacked by the #migrants instead.

— Anticommie (@QueenAnticommie) February 25, 2024

The clueless female reporter then says in a panicky tone that they are leaving and “there is no need to be unkind.” The masked thugs predictably ignore her, and one kicks a camera.

Another Somali invader grabs and karate kicks a member of the camera crew before they get distracted. A Good Samaritan arrives to end the madness by driving his mobility scooter into the most troublesome attacker.

The film crew then finally departs the scene.

This violence is a direct result of the lax policy Sweden has operated concerning immigrants. The country has blatantly ignored the challenges of integrating millions of people from across the world, especially from Muslim countries, into their society.

The results have proven tragic. Rape crimes have risen 2200% since 1975, with 42,936 reported from 2018 to late 2022. 61 places in Sweden are now “no-go” zones with police allowing extremists to operate unimpeded due to them being outnumbered.

The new right-leaning government has attempted to make efforts to crack down unchecked migration from Non-EU countries especially from Muslim ones. But the violent crime problem, thanks to Muslim gangs, continues unabated.

CBS News Returns ‘Several Boxes’ of Seized Reporting Materials to Catherine Herridge, Including Files on Confidential Sources Following Media Outcry

By: Jim Hᴏft — February 26th 2024 at 21:00
CBS reporter Catherine Herridge speaks about President Joe Biden's son Hunter.

CBS reporter Catherine Herridge speaks about President Joe Biden's son Hunter.

CBS News has returned ‘several boxes’ containing reporting materials to award-winning journalist Catherine Herridge following an intervention by SAG-AFTRA amidst concerns over press freedom and the protection of confidential sources.

The materials were handed back to Herridge at her CBS News office in Washington D.C., with a union representative present to monitor the process. The contents of these boxes, which include files related to confidential sources, are currently under review by Herridge.

The Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) issued the following statement.

SAG-AFTRA is pleased to confirm that earlier today a representative of our union monitored the return of several boxes containing Catherine Herridge’s reporting materials from her CBS News office in Washington D.C. Herridge is currently reviewing the materials.

We welcome CBS News’ reversal which came after SAG-AFTRA’s intervention and widespread media coverage that underscored shared concerns about press freedom and the First Amendment.

The resolution of this matter sends a strong message of protection for basic First Amendment principles. We further hope the public focus now turns to SAG-AFTRA’s continued efforts to support a Press Shield law that provides additional federal protections for journalists and their confidential sources.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Catherine Herridge was among the 800 employees Paramount Global laid off in a bid to streamline operations amid financial strain. Her firing has since escalated into a broader controversy.

Herridge’s colleagues are reportedly alarmed by the company’s unprecedented steps to take possession of her work materials, including sensitive information on sources promised confidentiality.

“There is trouble brewing at Black Rock, the headquarters of CBS, after the firing of Catherine Herridge, an acclaimed investigative reporter. Many of us were shocked after Herridge was included in layoffs this month, but those concerns have increased after CBS officials took the unusual step of seizing her files, computers and records, including information on privileged sources,” Jonathan Turley wrote on The Hill.

The seizure of Herridge’s files, which span her impressive career at both CBS and previously at Fox News, has sent a “chilling signal” through the ranks, suggesting a potential crackdown on journalistic freedom and source protection.

SAG-AFTRA issued the following statement last week:

SAG-AFTRA strongly condemns CBS News’ decision to seize Catherine Herridge’s reporter notes and research from her office, including confidential source information. This action is deeply concerning to the union because it sets a dangerous precedent for all media professionals and threatens the very foundation of the First Amendment.

It is completely inappropriate for an employer to lay off a reporter and take the very unusual step of retaining and searching the reporter’s files, inclusive of confidential source identification and information. From a First Amendment standpoint, a media corporation with a commitment to journalism calling a reporter’s research and confidential source reporting “proprietary information” is both shocking and absurd.

The retention of a media professional’s reporting materials by their former employer is a serious break with traditional practices which supports the immediate return of reporting materials. We urge CBS to return this material to Catherine in support of the most basic of First Amendment principles. We are encouraged by recent outreach by CBS News to SAG-AFTRA on this matter, and we are hopeful that it will be resolved shortly.

Jerry Seinfeld Harassed by Screaming Anti-Israel Protesters Outside Event in New York City (VIDEO)

By: Mike LaChance — February 26th 2024 at 21:20

Unhinged anti-Israel protesters outside of an event for Jewish people in New York harassed and screamed at Jerry Seinfeld on Monday, accusing him of supporting genocide.

These people are so offensive and stupid, it’s painful. They all seem to think they’re some sort of human rights anti-war activists, but they fail to understand the history of the region and they refuse to acknowledge the horrors of the October 7th attacks in Israel.

And who goes after Jerry Seinfeld like this? He seems like one of the most normal, down to earth people in show business.

FOX News reported:

Jerry Seinfeld screamed at outside NY event on ‘State of the World Jewry Address’: ‘F— you’, ‘scum’

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld was met by angry, profane protesters as he was leaving an event in New York City with Free Press founder Bari Weiss.

“Genocide supporter, you support genocide!” protesters yelled at Seinfeld as he left an event on the Upper East Side on Saturday night, per footage shared by FNTV.

“F— you, you support genocide,” another protester yelled as Seinfeld left the venue.

“Nazi scum!” other demonstrators chanted.

“The small crowd of protesters rallied outside the community center that was hosting Weiss, who was giving the 92Y’s annual State of the World Jewry address,” The New York Post reported Monday.

“Protesters were critical of Weiss, a strong supporter of Israel, and tried to connect her to the death of Palestinian professor and poet Refaat Alareer, who was killed in Gaza in December in an Israeli airstrike,” the report continued.

This time, their target was Jerry Seinfeld in NYC. Unfazed and hardly impressed by the antisemitic clowns, Jerry responded like the champ he is:

Watch: Longtime Sportscaster Goes on Unhinged Anti-Trump Rant, Calls Followers a ‘Toxic Cult’ Live on CNN

By: Johnathan Jones, The Western Journal — February 26th 2024 at 21:40

For decades, American sports fans welcomed Bob Costas into their homes with open arms as he offered thoughtful commentary and analysis in regard to sports.

That entire time, the veteran TV personality apparently held a deep personal hatred for so many of us.

On Sunday during an interview on CNN, Costas referred to people who support former President Donald Trump’s bid for the White House — people who need immediate relief from inflation and illegal immigrant crime — as “toxic” and delusional.”

The comments were made as the 71-year-old attacked Trump while speaking to network host Michael Smerconish.

To be fair, Trump is a public figure and is fair game for criticism from anyone who might not like his politics, his personality or his policies.

In sports — which is Costas’ area of expertise — a team’s coach or players are always open to criticism. Unless something truly egregious occurs, the fans are off-limits.

But Costas took a hateful screed against Trump and made it about those who want changes in a country that as of the time of his comments was fundamentally broken. He attacked the fans of Team America.

Smerconish welcomed one of the most prominent voices in American sports throughout recent decades onto his show and what that voice said was quite frankly deplorable.

The host asked Costas to clarify before he went into a rant that he was not supporting Trump in the upcoming election.

“Yes, absolutely,” Costas said. “He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He’s only become more disgraceful since 2016 and since 2020. He has a bubbling cauldron of loathsome traits.”

BOB COSTAS: Trump is ‘the most disgraceful figure’ in history, his supporters a ‘toxic cult’

“You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been, in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or… pic.twitter.com/MLBdVfL3WN

— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) February 26, 2024

Costas has a right to his opinion, and he’s wealthy and thus largely insulated from the problems Americans and sports fans face — issues such as immigrant crime, fentanyl overdose deaths and the reality that grilling on game days is now cost-prohibitive for people.

He then unloaded on ordinary Americans whose only wish is to preserve their country by electing someone who will not permit an invasion by male foreign nationals.

Costas said people who do not intend to vote for more inflation, more war, more debt and less prosperity this November are all in a “cult”

“It’s only those who are actually suffering from Trump derangement syndrome, which is the way they and Fox News and all the rest of MAGA media try to brush aside all the legitimate criticisms of Trump,” he told CNN’s viewers.

He continued, “You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion and in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been, in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually or ethically fit to be president of the United States. But his supporters are locked in on that.”

Costas offered some criticism of Biden, but he laughably concluded, “There is no cult of Joe Biden.”

Joe Biden is accused of sitting atop a scheme in which his family cashed in on his name and then paid him for it.

Joe Biden allows thousands of military-aged men to enter this country daily for no valid reason. Last week, one of them allegedly murdered a nursing student in Georgia who was out for a jog.

The president has made grocery shopping unsustainable, and he lied and embellished his way into making the American dream a fantasy.

There is a cult of Biden that excuses his failures and his abuse of Americans, and Costas is so deeply involved he can’t see it.

Army Veteran Explains Why the U.S. Military is Struggling to Find New Recruits

By: Mike LaChance — February 26th 2024 at 22:00

It has been widely reported that the U.S. Military is struggling to recruit across pretty much all branches. Lots of reasons have been offered to explain this, including the military’s embrace of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

Other theories include the new ‘wokeness’ of the military and Covid vaccine mandate policies.

One Army veteran named Jake Bequette, who ran for senate in Arkansas, had another explanation which makes a lot of sense.

The Washington Times reports:

Why would young Americans defend a nation that needs to be ‘dismantled’?

Recently, Ashish Vazirani, the Pentagon‘s acting undersecretary for personnel and readiness, testified to the House Armed Services Committee that the U.S. military missed its 2023 recruiting goals by 41,000.

Jake Bequette, an Army veteran and former U.S. Senate candidate from Arkansas, responded to this report by suggesting that no one should be surprised. Why? Because of what we’re teaching in our nation’s schools.

“In our education system today, so few young people are hearing real history,” Mr. Bequette said. “They’re hearing our American heroes being represented as evil racists … who were doing all these terrible things to disadvantaged people. And that really is shaping the views of America’s youth and making them have less respect for our institutions, have less respect for our history, and therefore making them less liable to want to put their lives potentially on the line to serve in our country’s military.”

The article goes on to offer real examples of radical leftist ideology currently being taught in American schools and colleges, making Bequette’s point for him.

So the left doesn’t want to enlist because they don’t want to serve a country they see as evil, and at the same time, the military has alienated the type of Americans who would traditionally enlist and serve. It’s a perfect recipe for disaster.

Jazz Shaw of Hot Air adds this:

If you are taught that America is so completely awful and broken, why in the world would you volunteer to put on a uniform, pick up a rifle, and go fight against our enemies? You’re far more likely to invite our enemies into our homeland to do the job for you. Perhaps that’s why we have so much less pushback against the Biden border crisis from the youngest voters. They have been conditioned to believe that we probably had it coming.

If Trump is reelected, this crisis is one of the first challenges he will face. If Biden is reelected, the problem will only get worse.

Sharyl Attkisson Points Out How the Media’s Mistakes About Trump Always Go in Only One Direction (VIDEO)

By: Mike LaChance — February 26th 2024 at 22:20

The American media has always leaned decidedly left but the Trump years truly ripped off their mask. Most people in media no longer even try to pretend to be objective. They openly act like Democrat activists.

When reporting on Trump, which they all love to do, their mistakes are numerous and always go in only one direction.

Sharyl Attkisson, who is one of the few good journalists out there, recently did a report on this problem.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

Here at Full Measure, we’ve documented the media’s uniquely harsh treatment of Trump since he first declared his run for the White House, including an explosion in the trend of false reporting by formerly well-respected national news outlets. We’ve also been tracking media mistakes under the Biden presidency to see if he’d fall victim to the same syndrome.

In other words, is the media making an unprecedented number of sloppy but innocent errors, or is their behavior part of a calculated strategy? Today’s cover story: what the record shows.

When President Biden spent last Christmas on vacation with family, he continued the longest string in two decades of a U.S. president not visiting the troops during the holiday. But there was no criticism in the press like there had been of his predecessor, President Trump. With Trump, the media was eager to blare negative headlines, even when false.

In 2018, NBC incorrectly reported that Trump stayed home at Christmastime, the first U.S. president since 2002 to skip visiting the troops. The news went global. But it wasn’t true. The media had jumped the gun. Trump and First Lady Melania left the White House Christmas Day to visit U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

On Thanksgiving, Newsweek made a similar error, falsely reporting that Trump was spending the holiday “golfing” at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. But the reporter had fabricated the golf story. Trump flew to Afghanistan on Thanksgiving to again be with the troops, making Trump the only president in U.S. history to visit troops in a combat zone both on Thanksgiving and so close to Christmas — though the press never reported that.

There’s much more and you can watch it all below:

Our media cannot be fixed. It is overwhelmingly populated with liberal activists who think their job is to take down Trump. None of that is going to change until more of these people are replaced by real journalists.

City of Denver Cut Employee Hours to Zero in Order to Keep Paying for Services for Illegal Border Crossers

By: Mike LaChance — February 27th 2024 at 06:45

The city of Denver has been struggling for weeks now to pay for services for illegal border crossers. Early in February it was announced that the city would start cutting some services for taxpayers, and unsuccessfully tried to blame Republicans.

Now the city is going to start cutting the hours of city employees, in some cases down to zero, in order to keep paying for services for illegals.

This is simply not sustainable and anyone with an ounce of common sense knows it.

City of Denver says it IS NOT laying off employees to pay for the migrant crisis

But the city IS telling hourly employees they may have their hours reduced to zero

For now, It could impact coaches, lifeguards, front desk staff etc. at rec centers

But don’t call them layoffs… pic.twitter.com/ixroZMvdM2

— Marc Sallinger (@MarcSallinger) February 27, 2024

“We’re not laying you off to pay for illegal immigrants, we’re just not giving you any hours…so we can pay for illegals.”

The Democrats in Denver Government are laying off American citizen workers to pay for the Democrat’s illegal immigrants.#copolitics https://t.co/bXw2UP4kaF

— Mr T 2 (@GovtsTheProblem) February 27, 2024

A few days ago, CBS News reported that Parks and Rec services are cutting back over this:

Cuts to Denver Parks & Rec services begin Tuesday with reduced days, hours

Reductions in days and hours at Denver Parks and Rec centers began on Tuesday. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced the cuts earlier this month.

The cuts in service to Denver Parks and Recreation do not involve layoffs for current employees. However, hourly workers can expect fewer hours, and on-call and seasonal workers will be most impacted.

Beginning Feb. 20, Denver Recreation Centers will begin to reduce hours. Regional Centers open 7 days a week will only be open 6 days a week. Those open 6 days a week will stay open for the same number of days but the hours of operation will be reduced.

Summer Recreation Programming in Denver will be reduced by 25% across the program. The city will also forgo planting annual flower beds this year.

It’s amazing that the taxpayers of Denver are putting up with this. They are the people who pay the bills for the city and they’re getting shafted.

Nearly Half of Nikki Haley’s Voters in the South Carolina Open Primary Voted for Biden in 2020

By: Cassandra MacDonald — February 27th 2024 at 07:00

Data obtained by AP VoteCast found that 40 percent of those who voted for Nikki Haley in the South Carolina primary were Democrats who voted for Joe Biden in 2020.

AP VoteCast surveyed over 2,400 voters participating in Saturday’s Republican primary in South Carolina.

The Associated Press found, “About 9 in 10 Trump voters said they were driven by their support for him, not by objections to his opponent. Haley’s voters were much more divided: About half were motivated by supporting her, but nearly as many turned out to oppose Trump.”

The report added, “Who is her coalition? Haley dominated among South Carolina voters who correctly said that Democrat Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. Roughly three-quarters of her supporters say Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020, and about 4 in 10 voted for Biden in that election. Her problem is that about 6 in 10 Republican primary voters say they believed Biden was not legitimately elected.”

A poll conducted ahead of the Iowa caucuses by NBC News, the Des Moines Register, and Iowa pollster Selzer & Co. had similar results and found that Haley supporters in Iowa were twice as likely to vote for Joe Biden as Donald Trump.

The pollsters asked likely Iowa caucus-goers, “If Donald Trump is the Republican nominee in the general election in November, would you vote for him, vote for Joe Biden, vote for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., or vote for some other third-party candidate?”

Across the board, just 11 percent of Republican caucus-goes across the board said they would flip and vote for Biden if Trump became the nominee. Looking only at Haley supporters, that number jumped to a whopping 43 percent.

Just 23 percent of Haley’s supporters in Iowa said they would vote for Trump over Biden.

In 2019, Haley was elected to Boeing’s board of directors months after leaving her post in the Trump administration. At the time, she had a net worth less than $1 million.

“Post her tenure, reports surfaced that Haley boosted her fortune eight-fold — to $8 million — after leaving the Trump administration,” the New York Post reported at the time.

Soon after, the former UN ambassador purchased a $2.4 million waterfront estate on Kiawah Island.

CBP Agents Find Over $3 Million Worth of Cocaine Hidden in a Shipment of Limes

By: Cassandra MacDonald — February 27th 2024 at 07:15

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBP) at the Otay Mesa Commercial Facility found over $3 million worth of cocaine hidden in a shipment of limes on Thursday.

Otay Mesa is in the southern portion of San Diego, just north of the border between the U.S. and Mexico.

According to a CBP press release, “At approximately 11:22 a.m., CBP officers encountered a 42-year-old man driving a commercial tractor-trailer with a shipment manifested as Persian limes. The driver, a valid border crossing card holder, was referred for further examination by CBP officers along with the tractor-trailer and shipment.”

In the secondary inspection area, a K-9 unit alerted officers, prompting them to examine the shipment more closely.

“Upon further examination, CBP officers discovered and extracted a total of 158 suspicious packages,” the press release explained. “The contents of the packages were tested and identified as cocaine with a weight of 435 pounds with an estimated street value of $3,355,800.”

CBP said, “all subjects were turned over to the custody of Homeland Security Investigations for further processing. The narcotics, semi-truck, and trailer were seized by CBP officers.”

“Rain or shine are officers work tirelessly to ensure our communities are free of these dangerous drugs,” said Rosa Hernandez, Port Director for the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. “I’m proud of the efforts our officers make day in and day out.”

The cocaine seizure was part of Operation Apollo.

“Operation Apollo is a joint regional operation comprised of federal, state, and local agencies working to combat the threat from fentanyl, and other illicit synthetic narcotics,” CBP said. “More information about Operation Apollo can be found here.”

MAJORITY of Americans WANT a Border Wall for First Time in History – And All It Took was 3 Years of Joe Biden’s Open Borders and 10 Million Illegal Migrants

By: Jim Hoft — February 27th 2024 at 07:30

For three years now we have witnessed Joe Biden’s intentional destruction of America on a daily basis.  His failed economic policies, overspending, foreign policy nightmares, and persecution of his political opposition are only overshadowed by his open border policies that have allowed over 10 million illegal aliens to walk across the open US border with Mexico into the United States and immediate government benefits.

No country in history can survive with open borders and the annual invasion of millions of unknown and undocumented aliens invading their country.

According to the House Committee on Homeland Security, the massive cost to house and take care of illegal aliens and so-called asylum seekers inside the US is $451 billion.

Jeff Rainforth is covering the apocalyptic destruction of our country in real-time. Jeff has been reporting from the border for weeks now.

In a recent report on the absolute chaos at the border, Jeff filmed hundreds of illegals from Africa and Syria storming the border through a hole by the cartels.

Now, after three years of complete border chaos, a majority of Americans support a border wall on the US southern border with Mexico.

Charlie Spierling at The Daily Mail reported:

A new poll shows that the majority of Americans now support a wall on the southern border, as the issue of illegal immigration intensifies ahead of the 2024 election.

Monmouth poll released Monday shows that 53 percent of Americans now support building a wall on the southern border with Mexico. Forty-six percent still oppose it.

Four years ago, in a 2019 poll, only 42 percent of Americans supported the idea.

The poll shows that 86 percent of Republicans support a border wall, but also 58 percent of Independents. Only 17 percent of Democrats support the idea.

The poll also shows that 84 percent of voters see illegal immigration as a very serious or somewhat serious issue, a number that has grown significantly since 2019.

 

Maybe this explains why Democrats are rushing Old Joe Biden down to the border this week for the first time to pretend like he cares about open borders.

At this point, the left’s political stunt at the border is infuriating.

If Democrats are able to steal the election in 2024 this country is finished.

Queensland Supreme Court Rules COVID Vaccine Mandates for Police and Paramedics Unlawful

By: Jim Hᴏft — February 27th 2024 at 07:45

In a landmark decision, the Queensland Supreme Court has ruled that the COVID-19 vaccine mandates for police officers and paramedics were unlawful.

Justice Glenn Martin delivered a detailed 115-page judgment on Tuesday, stating that the directives issued by Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll and John Wakefield, director general of Queensland Health, violated the Human Rights Act.

The contentious mandate required all police and health workers, including paramedics, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of their employment.

Justice Martin’s ruling effectively nullifies the December 2021 mandate, preventing Commissioner Carroll and Mr. Wakefield from enforcing the vaccination policy.

Seventy-four personnel, who staunchly resisted the compulsory vaccinations, mounted a legal challenge against the state government, culminating in three separate legal proceedings, The Courier Mail reported.

These cases were meticulously reviewed by the court, with two concerning police officers and civil staff, and one involving Queensland Ambulance Service employees.

During the legal proceedings, the involved workers were exempt from the vaccination requirement, allowing them to continue their duties unvaccinated.

Brisbane Times reported:

The judgments did not make a ruling or attempt to make a decision about the transmissibility of a particular variant of COVID-19 or the efficacy of a particular vaccine.

The prior directions required emergency service workers to receive COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots or face potential disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

The court found Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll failed to give proper consideration to human rights relevant to the decision to issue the vaccine mandate.

Former Department of Health director-general Dr John Wakefield was unable to prove he issued the vaccine mandate under an implied term of the employment agreements for ambulance service workers.

As a result, both vaccine mandates were found by the court to be “unlawful” and to have no effect.

The court also found the directions limited the human rights of workers because they were required to undergo a medical procedure without full consent but it was reasonable in all the circumstances.

Senator Malcolm Roberts of Queensland took to the media, proclaiming the court’s decision as a significant victory.

“Great news. Breaking news. The Queensland Supreme Court has just ruled that the vaccine mandates, the so-called injection mandates that held back the police or forced them to get injected, the police and the paramedics are not legal and have no further effect,” announced Roberts.

EXCLUSIVE: RINO Dark Money Super PAC Spends Over $1 Million to Spread LIES Against Popular Trump-Endorsed Texas Candidate Brandon Gill

By: Jim Hoft — February 27th 2024 at 08:00

EXCLUSIVE — In the race for deep red Republican Texas 26th open Congressional seat, DC Dark Money Super PACs America Leads Action, Inc. has launched a $1.1 million ad spend in false lies against Trump-endorsed candidate Brandon Gill.

The Super PAC spreading lies about Brandon Gill, America Leads Action Inc. was filed with the Federal Election Commission—linking Soros’ ties to attacking pro-Trump candidates.

According to Open Secrets, America Leads Action, Inc. spent $1,114,109 in attack ads against Brandon Gill so far this year – in just two months!

The Gateway Pundit discovered through an online search that the two major funders of America Leads Action, Inc. are Rob Walton and Jay Faison.

Rob Walton is the billionaire heir to the WalMart fortune.
Jay Faison is an American entrepreneur and a conservative philanthropist focused on climate change from North Carolina.

They both list themselves as independent. Faison is labeled a conservative philanthropist.

Not only are dark-money Super PACs trying to confuse voters of the 26th District, but the lies they are spreading about Brandon Gill are completely false.

Gateway Pundit has performed an independent fact check of these false claims. Upon review, Gill has never done business with China, and he has never advocated for the “defund the police” movement, which is a far-left movement by radical Democrats.

Further, Gill grew up on a Texas cattle ranch, currently lives within the 26th District, and is not a carpetbagger as these false ads suggest.

Conservative Pundit and Texas resident Dinesh D’Souza Responded to the Lies below.

A Never Trump super-pac is buying more than $1 million in TV and radio ads saying @realBrandonGill is not a real Texan. Is he? In general, who qualifies as a real Texan? My thoughts! pic.twitter.com/kbX9ppWb6b

This is RINO money aiming to take out a very popular Pro-Trump candidate.

For the record — Texas is under attack this year.
The Gateway Pundit reported in early January that George Soros was committed to flipping Texas from red to blue through any means necessary.

Soros Dumping a Fortune Into Texas, Funding Operatives with One Goal in Mind

The swamp and liberal outsiders like George Soros are committed to defaming Brandon Gill and all MAGA Republicans for their support of President Trump.

Brandon Gill is a strong supporter of the police and has made his top priority in Congress to deport every single illegal alien Joe Biden allowed into the country.

With eight days until the March 5th Texas Republican primary, Brandon Gill holds the endorsements of President Donald J. Trump, Senator Ted Cruz, Congressman Jim Jordan, along with many members of the House Freedom Caucus.

“We Are Once Again Watching the Lights of Freedom. They Are Going Out Here and All Over the World” – Lara Logan Testifies Against the Abuse of Power by Google, Facebook, Instagram Against the American People (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hoft — February 27th 2024 at 08:30
Award-winning journalist Lara Logan testifies at the US Senate roundtable on Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel, on February 26, 2024.

Award-winning investigative journalist Lara Logan testified at the US Senate roundtable on Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel, on February 26, 2024. The roundtable was sponsored and led by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI).

Lara Logan was asked to speak on media censorship during the COVID pandemic.

Logan delivered a brilliant testimony on the absolute power today of Facebook, Instagram and Google and their dangerous monopoly on information and how Stalin, Lenin, Mao, and Hitler would have relished the chance to hold such power over the masses.

Lara Logan: Companies like Facebook, Instagram, and Google, as you have heard many times today, have been allowed to amass monopoly power. And as a result, they not only reach billions of people across the world every second of the day, they have absolute control over what we see and what we hear. Imagine those tools in the hands of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler.

When I became a journalist more than 35 years ago, we were under emergency restrictions in apartheid South Africa, and I was 17 years old. Public safety and security were the weapons of state censors. Ours was the truth. We had no Bill of Rights, no Constitution, no First Amendment, no Declaration of Independence. And journalists would have to hide their footage from the security police, sometimes sewing the tapes into their mattresses at home so they could not be seized and used to identify and target the protesters that we’d filmed. The light of freedom that set fire to our hearts in South Africa was lit thousands of miles away. It was lit right here where we sit today in the United States of America.

When the founding fathers put Freedom of Speech first, it was not by chance. It was by design. The rights that followed were, in part created to protect the First Amendment. Without it, they knew that freedom itself would perish. I am reminded today of the words spoken by the British foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, in 1914, at the beginning of the First World War.

He said, the lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.

We are once again watching the lights of freedom. They’re going out here and all over the world, and it is up to us to determine if they will be lit again, ever.

Social Media Users Obliterate the FBI After It Uses Two WHITE Female Models to Boast They’re Combatting Looting by Organized Gangs

The corrupt Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opened itself up to incredible ridicule online with a post boasting about combatting organized retail theft.

As Gateway Pundit readers know, looting has become a national crisis thanks to far-left prosecutors in major cities refusing to prosecute retail theft crimes in the name of “social justice.” Businesses from San Francisco to Washington D.C. are either closing or moving because the young thieves keep stealing their items while law enforcement does nothing.

The hard truth is primarily young people of color are committing retail thefts as part of organized flash mobs, though the media conveniently avoids addressing this fact.

But here is the FBI post in question regarding looting. Notice anything wrong with the picture?

Higher prices, dangerous products, and closing businesses. These are just some of the impacts Organized Retail Theft has on everyday Americans. Learn what the #FBI does to combat these crimes on the federal level to protect shoppers across the country: https://t.co/f0I2gcN9gu pic.twitter.com/d4fMwRuxry

— FBI (@FBI) February 26, 2024

The FBI decided to use two WHITE female models to assure the public they were focused on stopping retail theft. When was the last time anyone saw a mob of white girls stealing from Target or CVS?

This politically correct nonsense was not lost on social media users, who proceeded to destroy the FBI online:

But why aren’t they wearing MAGA hats? I’m pretty sure those are the ones doing all the shoplifting.

Wayne Allyn Root: 11,005 Government Workers Got Exemptions from the Vaccine. We Wonder Why? (VIDEO)

By: Assistant Editor — February 27th 2024 at 09:00

11,005 New Zealand Workers Got Exemptions from the Vaccine. And The Ministry of Health Granted Vaccine Exemptions to Hundreds Among Its Key Staff. We Wonder Why?

The Hatchard Report released this information in October 2023. From November 13, 2021, to September 26, 2022, a total of 478 applications for Significant Service Disruption exemption (SSD) were received. 103 applications were granted, covering approximately 11,005 workers.

From Hatchard report:

An OIA HNZ00023978 dated 2 August 2023 asked the following question:

“According to the legislation at the time in 2021, there were operational exemptions available for those who were not getting vaccinated against Covid 19. Your website outlines the process of applying for an operating exemption under clause 12a. How many requests were received? How many were approved by the ministry?”

Matt Hannant, Interim Director, Prevention, National Public Health Service, Te Whatu Ora replied:

“From 13 November 2021 to 26 September 2022, a total of 478 applications for Significant Service Disruption exemption (SSD) were received. 103 applications were granted, covering approximately 11,005 workers. Please note that it is not possible to provide the exact number of workers that were covered by SSDs. This is because it was possible for an organisation to submit an application to cover more than one worker.”

Founder of Café Locked Out, Michael Gray Griffin, in an interview with Doctor Paul Oosterhuis and Liz Gunn, leader of the New Zealand Loyal Party, claimed that these 11,000 workers are politicians and elites. You can watch the interview here.

Professional Bowler Arrested for Child Pornography During Bowling Tournament

By: Cassandra MacDonald — February 27th 2024 at 09:30
Brandon Novak

A professional bowler was arrested for child pornography during the U.S. Open professional bowling tournament earlier this month.

Brandon Novak, 35, was arrested in Indiana and extradited to Ohio.

According to a report from CNN, “Novak was first indicted in Ohio in January and is facing 15 felony charges; five charges are pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, and ten charges are illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.”

“Novak was reportedly arrested midway through his second game at the 2024 US Open at Royal Pin Woodland in Indianapolis on February 1,” the report continues. “In a video showing the US Open competition, Novak is out of shot but several players can be seen looking off screen at some commotion.”

Novak had to withdraw from the competition, as he was being arrested, but he still finished in 36th place, earning him $1,500 in winnings. It is unclear if he was paid out or not.

Novak was on the radar of the Chillicothe police last year after they were alerted to his Facebook account being associated with child pornography.

The report continued, “During police interviews with Novak, he said he purchased pornography from someone on Snapchat, but initially said that he did not know the videos would contain child pornography, The Dispatch reported. He later admitted that he knew he was purchasing child pornography and was taking steps to conceal it, according to The Dispatch’s review of the police report.”

Novak’s pre-trial hearing is scheduled for March 21.

MS-13 Gang Member Wanted in El Salvador for Murder Arrested in Boston, Previously Removed from the US Three Times

By: Jim Hᴏft — February 27th 2024 at 09:45

A Salvadoran fugitive with ties to the notorious MS-13 gang and wanted for murder back home was detained by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston in Foxboro on February 19.

This isn’t his first, second, or even third rodeo with U.S. immigration authorities. The 44-year-old has been removed from the United States not once, not twice, but three times before.

According to ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd Lyons, the arrest is a significant achievement in safeguarding the community.

“This unlawfully present fugitive is a member of a violent transnational criminal organization who is wanted for murder in his home country,” said Lyons.

“The people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are safer today now that this fugitive criminal has been arrested. ERO Boston continues to help make our communities safer by our unwavering commitment to protecting public safety every day,” he added.

The Boston Herald has learned that the fugitive is identified as Wilmer Alexy Garcia-Manzanarez, according to a “Red Notice” from INTERPOL, the International Criminal Police Organization headquartered in France, issued at the request of El Salvador. The notice details his charges in Spanish as “Organizaciones terroristas.”

Garcia-Manzanarez initially entered the U.S. illegally across the Canadian border in New York in March 2001 and was served with a notice to appear before an immigration judge. After failing to appear and being ordered removed in absentia in March 2002, he was eventually deported in January 2007 by ERO Phoenix.

In May 2010, Garcia-Manzanarez entered the U.S. again, was arrested in Texas, and was removed a second time in July of that year. His third unlawful entry resulted in another arrest in September 2012 and subsequent removal the following month.

Despite these removals, Garcia-Manzanarez illegally reentered the U.S. and was living in Massachusetts until his most recent arrest by ERO Boston. He is currently in ICE custody pending his removal proceedings. If deported, this would mark his fourth removal.

According to ERO, “In fiscal year 2023, ERO made 170,590 administrative arrests, a 19.5% increase over the previous year. ERO arrested 73,822 noncitizens with a criminal history; those arrested had an average of four charges and convictions per individual, including more than 33,209 charges or convictions for assault, 7,520 for weapons offenses, 1,713 for homicide-related offenses, and 1,615 for kidnapping. Removals also included 3,406 known or suspected gang members, 139 known or suspected terrorists, seven human rights violators, and 108 foreign fugitives wanted by their governments for crimes including homicide, rape, terrorism and kidnapping. Also in fiscal year 2023, ERO conducted 142,580 removals to more than 170 countries worldwide.”

RINO Kilmeade Rips Matt Gaetz and Steve Bannon on FOX and Friends – And Takes an Indirect Swipe at Donald Trump (VIDEO)

Kilmeade compares Steve Bannon and Matt Gaetz to the communist Squad members.

This guy is unbearable. When was the last time Brian Kilmeade was right side of a political decision?

On Tuesday morning Kilmeade took an indirect swipe at President Trump by attacking Steve Bannon and Rep. Matt Gaetz on FOX and Friends.

Kilmeade compared Steve Bannon and Rep. Gaetz to the communist, anti-American Squad members. Kilmeade finds Bannon, Gaetz and millions of Americans extreme for wanting a secure border, a rational spending plan, and an honest, unbiased Justice system in America.

That was a low blow for this longtime anti-Trump RINO.

Brian Kilmeade: Well, I think both candidates have to realize this, that on the left, if Joe Biden listens to The Squad, he loses. And I think if Donald Trump listens to Matt Gaetz and Steve Bannon, he loses. They have to understand that most of the people are not on the extremes. And if you could understand that, you’re going to win. The first one to understand that and does what they think they should do. And now what the extremists are bullying them to do is going to be successful.

Second Recall Attempt Launched Against California Governor Gavin Newsom (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hᴏft — February 27th 2024 at 10:15
Credit: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom is once again facing a recall effort, the second in three years, as a conservative group initiates a new campaign to oust him from office.

On Monday morning, Rescue California served Governor Newsom with a notice of intent to recall, reprising their role from the 2021 recall attempt.

The conservative group gathered over the needed 1.5 million signatures to force a recall election. However, California Governor Gavin Newsom survived the rigged recall election.

There was plenty of opportunity for rampant fraud because there is no chain of custody with ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, ballot drop boxes and printing ballots from home.

More than 30% of the people who signed the petition to recall Newsom were Independents and Democrats, but he allegedly won the recall in a ‘landslide.’ Even more ridiculous, Gavin Newsom ‘won’ conservative Orange County: 52.6% (464,164) voted “No” to 47.4% (418,362) voted yes, KTLA 5 reported.

Rescue California, undeterred by the previous outcome, announced on Monday their plan to initiate a recall campaign against Governor Newsom once more.

“We filed this morning. We served the governor with a notice of intent to recall. This is a preliminary element to the total process of recalling someone in office simultaneously. We then also filed with the Secretary of State,” said Anne Hyde Dunsmore, the Campaign Director for Rescue California.

Dunsmore said that the decision to launch a recall was driven by a series of policy failures and fiscal mismanagement, culminating in a staggering $73 billion budget deficit as reported by the Legislative Analyst’s Office—a figure that has seen a rapid increase in just a matter of weeks.

According to the Rescue California’s website:

Governor Newsom has abandoned the state to advance his Presidential ambitions, leaving behind a $68 Billion budget deficit and a public safety, immigration and education crisis. He:

  • Granted 700,000 illegal immigrants free health care at a cost to taxpayers of $3 billion annually, while cutting vital programs for veterans, school children, the disabled and the homeless.
  • Kept schools closed during Covid longer than other states allowing California students to fall further behind in basic skills such as language and mathematics.
  • Closed prisons and ordered the release of thousands of dangerous criminals onto our streets.
  • Weakened our public safety laws, creating an epidemic of smash and grab crimes and violent assaults.
  • Forced Californians to suffer under the highest taxes in the nation and the highest home prices outside Hawaii, while he undermines Prop. 13.
  • Spends billions on government homeless programs that have repeatedly failed.

The effort, which began with over 450 signatories across five counties, exceeds the new requirement set by state regulations that mandate a minimum of 325 signatures from at least five counties.

Despite the challenges of organizing a recall, Dunsmore is confident in her group’s approach. With a streamlined strategy and a reduced signature threshold compared to previous campaigns, Rescue California aims to gather the necessary support well within the 160 to 180-day (6-month) timeframe allowed.

The group has a tight timeline to collect signatures, aiming to qualify for the ballot before key political dates, such as the Democratic National Convention.

Dunsmore emphasizes that Rescue California is not aligning with any single candidate to replace the governor. Instead, the organization seeks to create an opportunity for competent leadership to emerge.

As the recall movement gains momentum, Dunsmore urges Californians to join the cause, emphasizing the grassroots nature of the effort and the importance of holding the Governor accountable for the state’s financial predicament.

Petitions will be available in the coming weeks. Sign up here to receive notice!

“They’re Not Sending Their Finest” – Communist Maduro Tells Biden Regime Venezuela Is Not Taking Back any Criminal Illegals – President Trump Weighs In (AUDIO)

By: Jim Hoft — February 27th 2024 at 10:30
NYPD surveillance video released last week shows the suspects charged with assaulting two police officers in Times Square in January.

In late January, several Venezuelan migrants attacked New York police officers after they were asked to quit blocking the sidewalk near Times Square. The migrants fought back against the police officers knocking them to the ground and kicking them. The officers suffered minor injuries.

The violent migrants were then released back out on the street by New York officials without bail.

Joe Biden wanted to send the criminal aliens back home to Venezuela.

But deporting the criminal aliens back to Venezuela is no longer an easy task. Communist leader Nicolas Maduro recently announced his country is refusing to cooperate with deportation requests after Washington reimposed some of the economic sanctions it had previously lifted on Venezuela. The communist leader wants does not want them back.

Nobody respects Joe Biden – not even the communists.

On Monday President Trump spoke with Steve Gruber on Real America’s Voice.

President Trump weighed in on this latest national embarrassment by Joe Biden.

President Trump: They’re not sending their finest. Even beyond their prisoners, even beyond their mental institution patients, even beyond all of that, they’re not sending their finest. So Venezuela announced today they’re not going to take them back under any circumstances because they don’t respect our country, they don’t respect our president. That will not happen under me. We’re going to get the criminals out first, and they’re going to be out of here fast, and they’re going right back to their countries, or there’s going to be great retribution.

Trump Goes Off on Harry, Says He Would Not ‘Protect’ Prince After ‘Unforgivable’ Disrespect

By: Jack Davis, The Western Journal — February 27th 2024 at 10:45

Even as Prince Harry is in the midst of a contentious court case over the visa that allowed him to be admitted to the United States, former President Donald Trump accused the Biden administration of “protecting Harry” by keeping his immigration application under wraps.

The Heritage Foundation has been battling in court to make the application public and is fighting to obtain the records on the grounds that the prince’s admitted drug use should have been a factor that could have barred him from the country.

On Saturday, Trump said he was not on the prince’s side.

“I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed [Queen Elizabeth II]. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me,” the former president told the Daily Express during the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland.

Trump said the royal family was “too gracious” to Harry after “what he has done.”

The Heritage Foundation has argued that admissions of drug use are usually something that keeps someone out of the country, while the Department of Homeland Security is pushing back, according to the New York Post.

In his book “Spare,” Harry said he has used magic mushrooms, cocaine and marijuana.

“Given Harry’s extensive drug use admissions, normally disqualifying for entry into the United States, Americans deserve to know if Prince Harry lied on his application and DHS looked the other way or gave him otherwise preferential treatment,” Nile Gardiner, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, wrote Thursday, according to Time.

On Friday, DHS and the foundation faced off in court over Heritage’s appeal of the decision not to share Harry’s immigration records.

“Widespread and continuous media coverage has surfaced the question of whether DHS properly admitted the Duke of Sussex in light of the fact that he has publicly admitted to the essential elements of a number of drug offenses,” the foundation said in its lawsuit.

DHS attorney John Bardo said “the book isn’t sworn testimony or proof” that Harry took drugs, according to The Telegraph.

“Saying something in a book doesn’t necessarily make it true,” Bardo said.

Gardiner called that a “ridiculous argument.”

“This is Prince Harry’s book. He has never denied anything in his own book … including the extensive widespread drug use,” he said after the hearing.

During the hearing, Bardo said it was plausible that the prince entered the U.S. on what’s known as a “category A” visa used for diplomats on official duties.

“He’s still a member of the British Royal family and has the title Duke of Sussex. … He’s still a government official in the U.K. by his birth and title,” the DHS attorney said.

Heritage Foundation lawyer Samuel Dewey called that “absurd” and “preposterous,” noting that by the time Harry came to America, he was no longer a working royal.

It would be a “huge red flag” to have admitted him in that way “when the whole world knows he’s not a working royal,” Dewey said.

How to Get the Prescription McCullough Protocol Before the Government Bans It

By: Promoted Post — February 27th 2024 at 11:00

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

Just a few years ago, it would have been unthinkable that our government would ever ban access to life-saving drugs. The COVID -19 pandemic, however, opened our eyes to just how far our government would go to line the pockets of big pharma.

Safe and effective early treatment protocols, like the use of Ivermectin paired with doxycycline or hydroxychloroquine paired with azithromycin were banned by government bureaucrats and vilified by many in the medical establishment who were far more concerned about protecting big pharma’s bottom line than they were in protecting the lives of Americans.

These early treatment protocols, pioneered by Dr. Peter McCullough, that proved so effective in the last pandemic, may be your best line of defense against future pandemics.

Don’t fall victim to the big government/big pharma trap again! BE PREPARED. Get the McCullough Protocol TODAY!

2024 is the Year to be Prepared

We know what the globalists did in 2020, and we know they will do whatever they can to maintain power, which makes 2024 a potentially very dangerous year for Americans.

The Wellness Company and its great doctors – like Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Drew, Dr. Harvey Risch, and Dr. Jim Thorp – are regularly in the media fighting against the broken medical establishment.

Dr. Thorp, one of the nation’s leading critics of corrupt Big Pharma, believes that now – more than ever – people should be prepared for the next pandemic:

 “I’ve strongly recommended “stockpiling” critical medications including antibiotics since the turn of the century. This has been an incredible investment as many friends, family, and patients have benefited. Now, in the winter of 2024, this recommendation is even more crucial.”

The Wellness Company and their doctors are medical professionals that you can trust and their new medical emergency kits are the gold standard when it comes to keeping you safe and healthy.

The ultimate safeguard for your health.

Brazil’s Lula Doubles Down on ‘Genocide’ Comments About Israel – Former Israeli PM Bennett Calls Him ‘An Idiot’ on TV – Domestic Criticism Grows With Impeachment Request

By: Paul Serran — February 27th 2024 at 11:20

Speaking in a controlled environment for a few dozen militants, in an aggressive tone, and with bloodshot eyes, Brazilian President Lula da Silva doubled down on his statements over the war between Israel and Palestine that has sparked a grave diplomatic rift between the countries,

“‘If This Isn’t Genocide, I Don’t Know What Is,’ Says Lula of Israeli Attack on Gaza.

‘What the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinian people is not war,’ said the President of Brazil. ‘It’s not soldiers who are dying, but women and children who are dying inside the hospitals’.”

In fact, the Brazilian Government does not intend to retract President Luiz Inacio da Silva’s comment comparing Israel’s war on Gaza to Hitler’s treatment of Jews.

Reuters reported:

“Brazil’s foreign ministry has already summoned the Israeli ambassador for talks and recalled its own ambassador to Israel after Israeli officials gave him a formal reprimand following Lula’s comment.

‘What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people has no parallel in other historical moments’,” Brazil’s president said.

‘In fact, it did exist when Hitler decided to kill the Jews’, said Lula during a weekend African Union summit in Addis Ababa, referring to Nazi war crimes during World War Two.”

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz immediately announced that Lula is not welcome until he takes back his comments.

“‘We will not forget nor forgive. It is a serious anti-Semitic attack. In my name and the name of the citizens of Israel – tell President Lula that he is persona non grata in Israel until he takes it back’, Katz told Brazil’s ambassador, according to a statement from Katz’s office.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded harshly to Lula’s previous comments, saying: “The words of the President of Brazil are shameful and alarming. This is a trivialization of the Holocaust and an attempt to harm the Jewish people and Israel’s right to defend itself.

Israel is fighting for its defense and securing its future until complete victory and it does so while upholding international law.”

In British TV, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called Lula da Silva ‘an idiot’ on a Monday segment of Piers Morgan Uncensored.

Lula not only faces challenges in the diplomatic field but is also now facing internal tribulations, even inside his own coalition.

El Mundo reported:

The controversial statements of the Brazilian president caused friction within the government, with allied parties that make up the official base, and even calls for the impeachment of the opposition in Congress.”

Harsh criticism of Lula in Brazil comes from close allies with important places in the government structure.

“’Hamas provoked that [the war], because it went to Israel to execute a mountain. It is a comparison without any meaning. I find it regrettable, because it is not a genocide’, Carlos Siqueira, president of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), told the newspaper O Globo.”

The PSB is the party of the vice president, Geraldo Alckmin, who heads two ministries. Alckmin is a descendant of Sephardic Jews and is close to the large and very influential Jewish community in Brazil.

The large ‘Evangelical group’ in Parliament is also painted for war.

“’Unbalanced verbalizations, in addition to not representing the thoughts of the majority of Brazilians, compromise international politics unnecessarily’, said in a note this Monday the [Evangelical] group, which brings together 203 of the 512 deputies, including dozens of political parties. the official base.

The organization ‘Jews for Democracy’, which supported Lula in the 2022 presidential campaign […] described the statements as ‘indefensible’, in a critical note published on social networks.”

In his mega-demonstration on Sunday, former President Jair Bolsonaro held and kissed an Israeli flag.

Bolsonaro aligned Brazil with Israel, and transferred the Brazilian capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

“Almost a hundred opposition deputies signed a request for impeachment presented by the opposition in the lower house. Dozens of deputies from parties from the official base such as the Progressive Party (PP) of the president of Deputies, Arthur Lira, and Republicans, signed the request.”

Biden’s Brain Malfunctions as He Claims Trump is the One Suffering From Mental Decline, Not Him (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 27th 2024 at 11:40

Joe Biden spent most of Monday participating in a campaign event and chomping on ice cream in New York.

World War 3 is looming and Biden was at a Van Leeuwen ice cream shop in New York having a laugh with late-night comedian Seth Meyers.

Biden, 81, made a ‘surprise’ appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on Monday during his visit to New York.

His brain malfunctioned as he claimed Trump is the one suffering from mental decline, not him.

This is the Democrat-media complex’s new thing. Project Biden’s obvious dementia onto Trump.

“Take a look at the other guy. He is about as old as I am, but he can’t remember his wife’s name,” 81-year-old Biden said of 77-year-old Trump.

“They told us we couldn’t get ’em done ’cause things were so divided and, but I think everything’s everything we’ve gotten done. He’s just friendly state he wants to do away with, he gets elected and I really think his views on where to take America are older than… anyway,” Biden said losing his train of thought.

With Super-Woke Pope, Catholics Now Whisper About other S-Word

By: Guest Contributor — February 27th 2024 at 12:00

This article originally appeared on WND.com

Guest by post by Bob Unruh 

‘The war over the future of the church is far from over’

There have been a number of divisions in the Catholic Church since its stated foundation during the time of Jesus’ apostles.

One of the big events was the East-West schism in which the Roman Catholics separated from Eastern Orthodox churches in 1054 A.D. and each group went its own way.

There are others in the history books, and today, individual Catholic groups are deeply embroiled in disagreement over issues including the LGBT lifestyle choice, clerical sexual abuse, celebrating the liturgy and much more.

Religion News Service reported not long ago that Pope Francis’ Synod on Synodality recently found, “Participants felt this division as a profound sense of pain and anxiety.”

The report noted, “A controversy about whether Catholic pro-choice politicians, including President Joe Biden, should be allowed to receive Communion at Mass has fractured Catholic communities in recent years and led U.S. Bishops to launch a $28 million three-year process to ‘restore’ and ‘revive’ the Eucharist.”

Such division of opinion already has been described in published reports as scandalous.

And now it’s worse.

A report at Just the News explains that, “For the first time in recent memory, the ‘s-word’ is being dusted off and bandied in some circles.”

That word is schism.

The report said, “Just after the one-time Catholic Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was elected Pope Francis in 2013, he made an infamous lament over dinner with the cardinals who had just voted for him. ‘May God forgive you for what you’ve done,’ he said.

“Now, more than a decade later, an increasing number of church leaders openly agree with that sentiment, loudly bemoaning the direction taken by the first pontiff to be born in the Americas.”

In fact, “schism” is “being dusted off and bandied in same circles,” the report said.

Those talks mostly are being pushed by “progressive” changes that are being made by Francis, the pope, including how the church views homosexuals, transgenders, women, divorcees and more.

The pope also has been busy demoting multiple conservatives in the church hierarchy.

The report said the disagreements have gotten so serious “some 90 leading church thinkers – more than a dozen of them from the U.S. or with strong ties to the U.S. church – signed an open letter last week to ‘all cardinals and bishops of the Catholic church.'”

They are calling for Francis to withdraw a declaration from late last year that gave Catholic priests auathorization to “bless” homosexual duos. even though the Bible condemns homosexual behavior.

The report explained it’s just the latest extremist move by Francis, who earlier had been blasted for his criticisms of nationalism and capitalism.

The report noted, “Francis is now 87 and in poor health, which means his critics will probably have to wait out his papacy while launching barbs from the sidelines. But the war over the future of the church is far from over: The next battle will be over Francis’s successor.”

Just the News noted of the 130 or so “cardinal electors” for the church, Francis has appointed 95, all expected to be of his own liberal ideology.

Donald Trump’s Approval Rating is Higher with Gen Z Than Any Other Age Group

By: Cassandra MacDonald — February 27th 2024 at 12:20

Former President Donald Trump is more popular with young voters than any other age group.

Generation Z represents those currently between the ages of 18-24.

A recent Harvard CAPS–Harris survey found 57 percent of voters approved of the job Trump did as president, and 41 percent disapproved.

When breaking that approval rating down by age group, a massive 64 percent majority of Gen Z voters approved of the job Trump did as president.

Newsweek reports:

However, the results could be yet another warning sign for President Joe Biden’s reelection hopes. In 2020, young voters were crucial in Biden’s victory, as Generation Z and millennials supported Biden over Trump by margins of about 20 points in the record-breaking turnout, according to analysis by the Pew Research Center.

The age group with the second-highest approval rating of Trump’s presidency in the Harvard CAPS–Harris survey were respondents aged 55 to 64 (60 percent), followed by those aged 25 to 34 and 35 to 44 (both 58 percent).

A separate poll released Monday by Axios-Generation Lab also showed that Biden is only slightly favored over Trump by voters between ages 18 and 34, with 52 percent choosing the president and 48 percent choosing Trump.

One factor the pollsters found is really hurting Biden with younger voters is his staunch support for Israel, according to a report from Axios. Trump has had a nuanced position on the region, repeatedly saying that there would have been peace if he was still the president.

Democrats have traditionally counted on the young vote to swing their way, but times may be changing.

WATCH LIVE NOW: Former Law Partner and Divorce Attorney to Testify About Relationship Between Fulton DA Fani Willis and Nathan Wade in Disqualification Hearing – Judge Decides He is NOT Protected by Attorney-Client Privilege!

By: Jordan Conradson — February 27th 2024 at 12:40
Fani Willis and lover Nathan Wade

Terrence Bradley will take the stand again today in a third hearing to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting the sham election interference case against President Trump after she was accused of misusing funds and having an inappropriate relationship with lead prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Bradley is the former divorce lawyer and law partner of Fani Willis’ lover and Trump prosecution lead, Nathan Wade.

Earlier this month, Willis and Wade were subpoenaed for an evidentiary hearing stemming from a lawsuit filed by Michael Roman, a co-defendant in Trump’s RICO case. Ashleigh Merchant, representing Roman, has accused Willis’ office of “intentionally withholding information.”

The Gateway Pundit reported extensively on the explosive testimony in the previous hearings by Nathan Wade, Fani Willis, and Fani’s ex-Black Panther daddy

Recall that Terrence Bradley testified on February 15 but claimed that the Georgia Bar Association had advised him not to answer questions due to the application of Rule 1.6 of confidentiality.

The Georgia Bar Association is Now Interfering — Advises Witness Not to Answer Questions About Fani Willis and Nathan Wade in Scandal Investigation

Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the case, has reportedly determined that some communications are not privileged, and Bradley can no longer hide behind “what the person at the Bar told us.”

This comes after damning findings of potential perjury by Fani Willis and Nathan Wade.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday that the attorneys for Trump and Roman geo-tracked Nathan Wade and found that Wade likely made at least 35 visits to Fani’s home BEFORE he was appointed to lead the case. However, they both testified in court that they met at Willis’s home no more than ten times and started a relationship AFTER he was appointed to lead the Trump election interference case.

It was also discovered that Wade and Willis exchanged over 2,000 voice calls and almost 12,000 text messages in the 11 months of January to November 2021 before Nathan Wade was hired.

Their testimony is further contradicted by Robin Yeartie, who worked in Fani Willis’s office and testified in the first hearing that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade started their relationship in 2019 – before Willis assigned Nathan Wade as lead prosecutor in the RICO lawfare case against President Trump.

Atlanta News First reports,

Bradley was called to testify two weeks ago in a court hearing held to determine whether Wade, Willis and her staff should be disqualified from their sprawling RICO case against former President Donald Trump and his allies.

On the stand, Bradley declined to answer questions about the now-acknowledged relationship between Willis and Wade, and said he’d been advised by the State Bar of Georgia not to testify about it, citing attorney-client privilege.

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee notified attorneys in the case late Monday that some communications between Bradley and Wade are not protected by attorney-client privilege, sources said. McAfee made his decision after a closed-door meeting with Bradley on Monday, the sources confirmed.

WATCH: Italian TV Destroys Dementia Joe Biden in Their Second Parody of Lost and Confused President

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a clip on Italian TV brutally mocked Biden, showing the world what they think of his pathetic leadership. Now, they have released a sequel parody.

This new skit opens up with a demented Biden walking like Frankenstein as he approaches the podium on the White House lawn before falling flat on his face. His handlers race to help him to his feet.

Once they help him up, he collapses AGAIN. When asked if he is okay, he grunts, “Yeah.”

After wandering aimlessly for a few seconds, the Biden character attempts to find his way to the podium and walks beside it. He cannot locate the object even after his handlers consistently point it out to him.

WATCH:

Italian TV just aired this skit mocking Joe Biden. Americans need Trump. pic.twitter.com/NNARMGYVeQ

After finally discovering the podium, he asks it, “What’s your name? He is still to the side of the object.

After not hearing a response, the Biden character exclaims, “My name is Joe Kennedy!”

His handlers immediately correct him and say the name “Biden.” He responds by giving them a clueless look.

He then turns his back to them and begins to wander off. Biden’s handlers beg him to come back.

When he finally arrives at his original place to the right of the podium, he says, “My Name is Joe Kennedy” again.

Biden’s handlers can only laugh. He gives them another blank look in response.

America is truly a national laughingstock under this clown. This was never the case under President Trump.

Civil Rights Complaint Filed Over ‘Black Excellence’ Pledge in Denver Schools

By: Margaret Flavin — February 27th 2024 at 13:20

On February 20th, Parents Defending Education (PDE) filed a federal civil rights complaint against the largest school district in Denver, Colorado, for allegedly requiring staff to participate in a “Black Excellence” pledge.

The complaint cites an internal memo referencing the pledge and alleges the initiative is backed by the district’s superintendent, school board, and senior leadership.

According to the complaint, the pledge reads in part, “all educators need to understand the prevalence and deep harm whiteness brings to students,” and promises “conversations about racism and white supremacy culture.”

The pledge suggests teachers “dismantle the system that allows certain students to excel and others to perish.”

EXCLUSIVE:

This was an internal memo sent to staff and teachers at Denver Public Schools: “Black Excellence Pledge”

The complaint was filed with the U.S. Department of Education against Denver Public Schools “for discrimination on the basis of race in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance in violation of both Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

The Daily Mail reports:

‘The district should be embarrassed for promoting curricula that exemplifies the ‘deep harm whiteness brings to students’,’ said Caroline Moore, a vice president at PDE.

No student, even those who are white, should go to school and feel ashamed for what they look like. Discrimination is discrimination, end of story.’

3 St. Louis Men Arrested after Migrant Woman Found Beaten, Tied with Ropes, and Bleeding from Her Head After Escaping Cult-Like Church

Three men were arrested this past weekend in St. Louis City after after a woman was found bound by ropes and bleeding from the head. The incident took place at Mount of Olives Ministry on Minnesota Avenue in the city.

The woman said she was held captive and was beaten by the men at the church. Inside the room police found a bottle of water and a bucket that had been used as a toilet.

According to reports when police arrived at the scene they found women described as “angels” held in a room inside the premises. When police lifted their veils the women would start screaming.

Local KSDK reported on the south city cult.

The Riverfront Times reported:

A bizarre kidnapping case that allegedly occurred this past weekend in south St. Louis got a lot stranger this afternoon at a bond hearing for one of the defendants.

Over the weekend, police were called to Minnesota Avenue in the Patch neighborhood after a woman was found bound by ropes and bleeding from the head. She later told police she had been confined against her will in a room at the nearby Mount of Olives Ministry church. Three men were charged with felony kidnapping and assault.

This afternoon, at a bond hearing for one of those men, 28-year-old Grace Kipendo, Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Faerber described cult-like conditions at Mount of Olives Ministry.

Faerebr said in court he’d be reaching out to federal prosecutors regarding the case.

He said that officers at the scene reported that members of the church referred to women as “angels” and there was a “white room” where there were women referred to as “good angels” and wore white veils.

“Officers tried to lift their veils to check on their well-being and the women started screaming,” Faerber told Judge Heather Hays, in arguing that Kipendo should remain in the City Justice Center without bond.

Faerber quoted one of the officers at the scene who said, “If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

According to the police probable cause statement, the victim said that she was kept locked in a room where she was beaten and given only water. After police arrived, the victim led officers to a different room, one that wasn’t the “white room,” which had had its door knob broken off and, inside, a bucket being used as a makeshift toilet.

Police were called because the victim was “crying out to passersby who were not members of the church,” according to Faerber.

President Trump’s CPAC Speech Was A Masterstroke Of Political Genius

By: Paul Ingrassia — February 27th 2024 at 14:00

President Trump was in vintage form on Saturday, where he first delivered the one-two punch between a Homeric speech, in which he deviated from his prepared remarks and instead chose to amuse the packed room with a series of ad-libbed stories from his first term.  Then, just a few hours later, he barnstormed to South Carolina and declared victory in what seemed like just minutes after his arrival and only hours after his highly entertaining peroration in National Harbor.  

Although the President continues to deal with the crippling effects of a justice system animated by the same communist ideologies that cannibalized the Soviet Union and so many Socialist banana republics to our south in the decades past, his remarks typified true statesmanship in being at one and the same time reasonable, and marinated in common sense.  The President’s hour-and-a-half-long speech not only amused the room but reminded everyone of how special it is to witness a single man so adept in both politics and entertainment – almost like a two-sport athlete, at the top of his game in both leagues.

But the occasion also struck a temperate chord – a warning that, really, not just America but the world’s fate hinges on the outcome of the coming election because President Trump alone seems to be the only leader capable (based on the chaos of the world situation since he departed office) of introducing peace and stability into a global order that has devolved into chaos.  Where Trump goes, so goes the world.

The speech also exposed the President’s skills as a master negotiator.  Someone who can confidently reassure anxious onlookers, nervous about the ultimate fate of America, that our country’s best days may still be in front of it.  But it will require the diligent work of a competent captain to steward this ship out of treacherous waters into more stable currents. 

President Trump’s unwavering conviction – in this country and in himself – even in the face of unprecedented political persecution carried out by a vengeful regime that represents itself so pitifully on the world stage with the enfeebled occupant of the Oval Office, is testimony to his unbreakable spirit.  More broadly, the President’s endurance reflects the human spirit in general and that hallowed tradition of larger-than-life statesmen that nature somehow produces generation after generation, especially during times of apparently all-consuming darkness, to course-correct just in the nick of time.

What was once CPAC has been dissimulated, by none other than the presidential frontrunner himself, into the elemental ingredients of conservatism, that ideology behind the event’s namesake, which the President summarized in two simple words: common sense.  

So many of America’s problems can be resolved by basic common sense, so disarmingly straightforward in theory, but which too frequently succumbs to the distractions and rank incompetence of the present age.  The idea that America should have a border to preserve and protect its native-born population would not have been controversial in any other age.  Nor the idea that America should invest in its own people and infrastructure and not let the rest of the world – which gets more competitive by the day with the rise of China and India, and even whole continents like Africa and South America – run roughshod over the advantages that once made America stand out by leaps and bounds over the rest.  

Nor should the idea that men and women are complementary, albeit naturally different, and no amount of scientific alchemizing will change that.  Nor that Americans should have autonomy over their own medical decisions, and least of all have assurances by the state to protect their basic right to privacy.  Nor that speaking these basic truths should not be met with the heavy hand of the state, or the legal system, or its apparatchiks in legacy media institutions and Big Tech, which censors dissident voices with scandalous indifference for the foundational principles hardwired by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence to check the size and scope of government, and stave off the blight of tyranny. 

In the most general of terms, these were the themes President Trump touched on in his sprawling oration, which are broadly the same themes that define this coming presidential election.  The mantra that “they are really after you, I’m just standing in the way” was encapsulated by the gravity of the president’s remarks and the sobriety with which he delivered them – speaking of such things as “Stalinist show trials” that are still ongoing in places like New York, Washington, DC, and Georgia, that are uncannily similar to the recent persecution of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.  

The President further talked about how the Biden regime, which repeatedly sells itself as the “defender of democracy,” is really anything but: with its unfailing reliance on patently antidemocratic institutions and mechanisms, such as the justice system and unelected bureaucrats, to expel its chief political opponent from national politics, over and above reliance on the democratic ones – the election process, itself contaminated by those same forces that would completely usurp the will of the people if they had it their way.

The climax of the President’s speech was arguably when he declared himself a “political dissent” – a witheringly poignant line that resonated in a room teeming with political dissidents.  The words “President of the United States” adorned the back wall, offering a reminder of the trials this country has endured over the past four years with the fraudulent 2020 election.  The illegitimacy of that race unleashed this “long national nightmare” – to invoke a phrase from yesteryear – upon not only the 45th President but his supporters and anyone who dares stand for the traditional values that once made America great. 

So too did the presidential backdrop stand as a warning for what is to come, not just the hurdles of the next ten or so months but of all the work needed to stop the bleeding and undo the tremendous damage exacted upon America’s economy, its cultural identity, and its national spirit by the regnant political order.

The President’s indomitable spirit, which is not only contained in his optimistic rhetoric – but on the ground as well through his landslide victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and, this evening, Michigan – reminds us that the torch of American liberty has not yet gone out – and a national renewal is still possible.  This, so long as we keep alive the momentum of this movement, captured in sentiment by President Trump at CPAC: American greatness that lives in the memories of our forefathers who fought generation after generation to preserve the American dream, that last beacon of hope.  

Those words are truer than ever, and CPAC was the latest occasion by which the principle that America’s and President Trump’s destiny are inexorably linked was again reaffirmed.

Nathan Wade Divorce Attorney SWEATS BULLETS on the Witness Stand as Lawyers Grill Him About When Fani Willis’ Relationship with Wade Began…He Suddenly Has Amnesia (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 27th 2024 at 14:20

Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer Terrence Bradley was back on the stand on Tuesday after Judge McAfee said he is not protected by attorney-client privilege.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Earlier this month Fani Willis and Nathan Wade both got subpoenaed to testify at an evidentiary hearing thanks to a lawsuit filed by Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman.

Judge Scott McAfee previously said Fani Willis may be disqualified from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

A couple of weeks ago Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman filed an explosive supplemental reply to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and accused her of lying to the court about her affair with the top Trump prosecutor she appointed.

Nathan Wade’s divorce lawyer Terrence Bradley earlier this month was called to the stand and tried to invoke attorney-client privilege during an evidentiary hearing on misconduct, however, he could not recall when he became Wade’s lawyer.

Judge McAfee ultimately determined Bradley’s communications with Nathan Wade were not protected under attorney-client privilege.

Bradley sweat bullets on the witness stand as he was grilled about Nathan Wade’s romantic relationship with Fani Willis.

Bradley would not reveal exactly when Nathan Wade told him he was dating Fani Willis.

Recall that Bradley previously suggested he had knowledge that the Fani-Wade love affair began before 2022. Now all of a sudden he can’t recall anything.

Interesting.

“I recall him stating that at some point they were dating. I can’t tell you what date that was,” Bradley said asserting his conversation with Wade was in confidence.

Bradley kept looking over at Wade and his legal team before every answer.

Terrence Bradley claimed he was “speculating” about when Wade’s relationship with Fani Willis began.

Trump lawyer Steve Sadow asked Bradley about previous text messages he sent where he believed Wade’s relationship with Willis began before 2022.

“That’s speculation on my part,” Bradley said.

Sadow replied, “Why in the heck would you speculate in this text message?”

Nathan Wade and Fani Willis both lied about when their relationship began.

Wade lied to the court in a civil proceeding about his divorce, provided false statements in a brief submitted and signed by Fani Willis AND lied on the witness stand.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, authorities geo-tracked Nathan Wade and found that Nathan Wade made at least 35 visits to Fani’s Hapeville neighborhood before he was hired as the lead prosecutor in the lawfare RICO case against President Trump and 18 Trump associates.

“Nathan Wade appeared to make at least 35 visits to the Hapeville neighborhood where Fani Willis was living before the district attorney hired him to lead Fulton County’s election interference prosecution, according to cellphone data included in a court submission filed Friday.” – The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

According to cell phone data, Wade visited the “Yeartie condo” where Willis was residing before he was hired in November 2021.

“Trump’s lawyers relied on data collected from Wade’s cellphone and cellphone tower transmissions to track his movements. It seems to contradict Wade’s testimony last week in which he said he had visited Willis at her condo in Hapeville no more than 10 times before he was hired in November 2021. It also indicates Wade twice arrived late at night at the condo and left early the next morning in the months before Willis and Wade said their relationship became romantic early in 2022.” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Special Prosecutor Webb Refutes Jussie Smollett’s Appeal to Illinois Supreme Court, Says Disgraced Actor Did NOT Have a Non-Prosecution Agreement With Chicago DA

Way back in January 2019, TV actor Jussie Smollett became entangled in a web of lies in his detestable hoax in which he pretended to have been racially targeted and assaulted.

In a very long-lasting Cook County judicial process, Smollett ended up charged and convicted (in 2021) of five counts of disorderly conduct – and his conviction was later confirmed by an Illinois appellate court.

But the story is not over because the disgraced actor is taking his fight to the Illinois Supreme Court.

Prosecutor Dan Webb has responded to Smollett’s appeal, and of course it got leaked to the media.

TMZ reported:

Jussie Smollett doesn’t understand the law, and he’s barking up the wrong tree with the Illinois Supreme Court… at least that’s how the special prosecutor views the actor’s appeal.

Special prosecutor Dan Webb — who convicted Jussie for lying to cops about the hate crime hoax — is responding to Jussie’s motion to have the IL Supreme Court review his case and overturn the conviction … and says JS’s claim he had an agreement in place to avoid prosecution simply doesn’t hold water.”

Jussie Smollett claims he had an (unsigned) deal with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, in which he would do volunteer community service and forfeit his bond – and in return, prosecutors would drop the charges.

“However, Webb says that ‘agreement’ was ‘imaginary’ on Smollett’s part, and it did not insulate him from facing charges at a later date. Webb also shoots down Jussie’s claim he’s a victim of double jeopardy — pointing out the legal term doesn’t apply in this case.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, the special prosecutor says protection from double jeopardy is ‘triggered only after the accused has been subjected to the hazards of trial and possible conviction’.”

The initial charges were dropped before there was any jury impaneled, any witnesses sworn in, or any evidence produced.

“Special prosecutor Webb’s overall point… Jussie’s case isn’t worthy of an IL Supreme Court review. Webb would like to see the high court reject his bid for appeal, opening the door for Jussie to complete his 150-day sentence … of which he’s only served 6, so far.”

The actor works to exhaust all his appeal options after a jury in 2021 convicted him on five of six counts of disorderly conduct.

His sentence was 150 days in jail, 30 months of probation, and $130,160 in restitution.

AOL reported:

Smollett’s attorneys filed the petition to the high court […] arguing that the questions raised by the case have the ‘potential for wide-reaching implications’ across Illinois. The court has the discretion to decide whether to take the case, or leave the appellate court’s decision in effect.

[…] Smollett’s petition to the Supreme Court argues that the lower court’s opinion ‘threatens to upend all informal and formal deferred prosecution agreements’.

‘What should have been a straightforward case has been complicated by the intersection of politics and public outrage’, the petition says.”

Waste of the Day: $38.5 Billion In Medicaid Funds Improperly Managed

By: Guest Contributor — February 27th 2024 at 15:00

 

This story originally was published by Real Clear Wire

Topline: State governments spent $38.5 billion to increase Medicaid payouts in 2022, but there is little oversight of how the money is being used, according to a U.S. Government Accountability Office report.

Key facts: Typically, state governments send money to Medicaid Managed Care, which pays healthcare centers on behalf of patients as needed.

But since 2017, states have been allowed to send extra money directly to clinics to try and improve the quality of healthcare. The practice was originally meant to be used sparingly, but it’s becoming more common.

State governments spent over $38.5 billion on these “directed payments” in 2022, which are managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

But according to the GAO, there are “weaknesses” in “CMS procedures for approving such payments.”

The report says that CMS has “weak fiscal guardrails,” meaning states often do not keep track of whether a healthcare provider is using its funds effectively before sending it more money.

The GAO evaluated five states and found that none of them were “consistently” evaluating whether the extra billions of dollars spent on Medicaid were actually having an impact on patient outcomes. In Texas, some hospitals received more than double the standard amount of funds, with little to no oversight.

The causes of this issue varied. Some states had flawed data software; some were simply not “implementing best practices.”

CMS also has not set any clear limits on the amount of money a single healthcare provider can receive.

Background: Eighteen states each spent over $500 million on directed payments in 2022, with California and Texas each giving out almost $7 billion.

Most of the money came from taxes on private healthcare providers, while some came from state general funds and other sources.

The United States spent $804 billion on Medicaid overall in 2022.

Summary: States are gaining more influence every year over how Medicaid funds are dispersed, yet they don’t have enough systems in place to prevent potential wasteful spending.

Elon Musk Weighs In on Joe Biden Turning America into “a Refuge for the World’s Worst Criminals!”

By: Jim Hoft — February 27th 2024 at 15:20
Illegal aliens in Eagle Pass, Texas

In December Bloomberg reported that Venezuela’s violent deaths fell to a 22-year low on migration.

It appears Venezuela’s second most important export next to crude oil, is violent criminals.

Thousands of Venezuelan illegal migrants have flooded across the US border since Joe Biden took office.

As reported earlier, in late January, several Venezuelan migrants attacked New York police officers after they were asked to quit blocking the sidewalk near Times Square. The migrants fought back against the police officers knocking them to the ground and kicking them. The officers suffered minor injuries.

The violent migrants were then released back out on the street by New York officials without bail.

Joe Biden wanted to send the criminal aliens back home to Venezuela.

But deporting the criminal aliens back to Venezuela is no longer an easy task. Communist leader Nicolas Maduro recently announced his country is refusing to cooperate with deportation requests after Washington reimposed some of the economic sanctions it had previously lifted on Venezuela. The communist leader wants does not want them back.

Nobody respects Joe Biden not even the communists.

Family Dollar Fined More Than $40M Over Rat-Infested Arkansas Warehouse

By: Cassandra MacDonald — February 27th 2024 at 15:40

Family Dollar Stores pleaded guilty on Monday to storing food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics in a rat-infested warehouse in West Memphis, Arkansas.

In a press release, the Department of Justice announced that the company agreed to pay a $41.67 million fine over the “insanitary conditions.”

“A criminal information unsealed today in federal court in Little Rock, Arkansas, charged Family Dollar with one misdemeanor count of causing FDA-regulated products to become adulterated while being held under insanitary conditions,” the press release explained.

The fine is the largest ever monetary criminal penalty in a food safety case.

The DOJ continued, “The company, a subsidiary of Dollar Tree Inc., entered into a plea agreement that includes a sentence of a fine and forfeiture amount totaling $41.675 million, the largest-ever monetary criminal penalty in a food safety case. The plea agreement also requires Family Dollar and Dollar Tree to meet robust corporate compliance and reporting requirements for the next three years.”

“When consumers go to the store, they have the right to expect that the food and drugs on the shelves have been kept in clean, uncontaminated conditions,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer. “When companies violate that trust and the laws designed to keep consumers safe, the public should rest assured: The Justice Department will hold those companies accountable.”

Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division added, “Companies distributing and selling food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics must ensure that these products are being held in safe and sanitary conditions.”

“The Justice Department will continue to work closely with the FDA to investigate and prosecute those who put public health at risk by failing to meet this important obligation,” Boynton continued.

By pleading guilty, Family Dollar admitted that its Arkansas distribution center shipped to stores in Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

“According to the plea agreement, the company began receiving reports in August 2020 of mouse and pest issues with deliveries to stores,” the DOJ said. “By the end of 2020, certain stores reported receiving rodents and rodent-damaged products from the warehouse. The company admitted that by no later than January 2021, some of its employees were aware that the insanitary conditions caused FDA-regulated products held at the warehouse to become adulterated in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA).”

In January 2022, an FDA inspection found live rodents, dead and decaying rodents, rodent feces, urine, and odors, and evidence of gnawing and nesting throughout the warehouse.

Alphabet Shares Take a Tumble, Erase $70 Billion, After Woke Gemini Chatbot ‘Hallucinates’ and Shows Crazy Racial Bias

By: Paul Serran — February 27th 2024 at 16:00

Just imagine that you are investor excited about the seemingly endless opportunities that Artificial Intelligence will provide for the future of our Information Society.

You decide to be a part of it, and invest your hard-earned money in one of the leading forces of the business: Alphabet, the owner of Google, one of the largest and most powerful tech companies in the world.

The you sit back, relax and pay attention, assured that Google will kick ass and produce the best, most innovative products, maybe even faster than anyone else. Right?

Well, so far – wrong.

Google’s parent company lost more than $70 billion in market value in a single trading day.

The price move was a result of its ‘woke’ chatbot’s bizarre image ‘debacle’.

Watch:

Victor Reacts: Woke AI Makes Everyone Black (VIDEO)

Shares of Alphabet sank 4.4% to close at $138.75 on Monday.

New York Post reported:

“The massive hit came after Google was forced to pause its Gemini chatbot’s image creation tool – which was churning out factually and historically inaccurate images such as Black Vikings, female NHL players, “diverse” versions of America’s Founding Fathers and even an Asian woman dressed in a Nazi-era German soldier’s uniform.

The chatbot’s bizarre behavior could fuel public concerns that Google is “an unreliable source for AI,” Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes warned in a note to investors.”

Social media users have gone as far as blasting the Gemini tool as ‘unusable’.

While the tumble in the stock price can be reverted, what would happen if an even greater percentage of users grow concerned about Google’s ‘hallucinations and bias’?

Read: Google’s Gemini AI Chatbot Says You Shouldn’t Misgender Caitlyn Jenner — Even to Stop a Nuclear Apocalypse

The plunge came on the day that Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, admitted that Gemini’s image tool would be offline for a ‘few weeks’ while the issue was fixed.

“’We have taken the feature offline while we fix that. We are hoping to have that back online very shortly in the next couple of weeks, few weeks’, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said Monday. Hassabis added that the tool was not ‘working the way we intended’, during his appearance at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.”

Google Gemini’s bizarre behavior is a clear evidence that it received politically biased ‘training’ from the company’s AI ‘experts’ (a.k.a. militants).

“Those complaints surged last week after politically charged tweets by Google Gemini’s product lead Jack Krawczyk allegedly resurfaced last week. In the old posts, which went viral on X, Krawczyk allegedly stated that ‘white privilege is f—king real’ and America is rife with ‘egregious racism’.”

New York Post thinks that the fact that Alphabet ‘does not publicly reveal details about the parameters that govern the chatbot’s behavior’ makes it ‘difficult to get a clear explanation for why it was generating the so-called ‘woke’ images’.

But it’s not difficult at all, really. The people feeding him data are doing it on purpose. The only question is whether they do it behind top management’s back or not.

Read: Google Gemini Director’s Disturbingly Racist Posts Discovered: This Explains Why Its AI Erased White People

This is the kind of thing that conservatives at congress can tackle – because it’s not just the woke images. There’s also the basic chatbot features also filled with crazy bias.

“Additional testing of Google Gemini’s responses raised further alarms – with the chatbot refusing to condemn pedophilia and claiming there was ‘no right or wrong answer’ when asked if Adolf Hitler or Elon Musk is worse.”

Chairmen Comer, Jordan Subpoena DOJ for Robert Hur’s Biden Interview Video, Audio Files as Damaging Leaks Reveal Biden Lied About Interview

By: Cristina Laila — February 27th 2024 at 16:20

Chairmen James Comer and Jim Jordan on Tuesday subpoenaed the Justice Department for Special Counsel Robert Hur’s Biden interview records as damaging leaks reveal Biden lied about his interview with Hur.

Comer and Jordan are seeking Biden transcripts, notes, video and audio files of Robert Hur’s 5-hour interview over two days.

BREAKING: Chairmen Comer and Jordan are subpoenaing the DOJ for Special Counsel Hur’s Joe Biden interview records, including transcripts, notes, video, and audio files. pic.twitter.com/Zwy9uwhAEa

— Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) February 27, 2024

Special Counsel Robert Hur last week released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.

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.”

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

Biden forgot when he was Vice President and also couldn’t remember when his son Beau died.

Joe Biden attacked Robert Hur during a recent impromptu presser and said, “There is even reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that?”

It was all a lie. This never happened!

Biden raised the issue with his dead son Beau and he could not correctly recall which year he passed away, according to a leak to NBC News.

Joe Biden’s son Beau died of brain cancer at Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland in 2015.

Special Counsel Robert Hur will testify publicly on March 12 about his investigation into Joe Biden’s stolen classified documents.

WOW! Text Messages Show That Nathan Wade Attorney Admitted That Wade and Fani Willis Began Relationship BEFORE Wade Was Hired and Appointed as Lead Trump Prosecutor – Said “They Will Deny it” in Message (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — February 27th 2024 at 16:40
Terrence Bradley wipes sweat off his face while being grilled on the stand

Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer, Terrence Bradley, was back on the stand on Tuesday after Judge McAfee said he is not protected by attorney-client privilege, and his testimony gives more evidence that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade lied on the stand about their relationship.

Watch a replay of Bradley’s full testimony earlier here.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Earlier this month, Fani Willis and Nathan Wade were subpoenaed to testify at an evidentiary hearing thanks to a lawsuit filed by Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman.

Judge Scott McAfee said Fani Willis may be disqualified from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Nathan Wade.

Both Willis and Wade were on the same page when they testified earlier this month that they met at Willis’s home no more than ten times and started a relationship AFTER he was appointed to lead the Trump election interference case. However, The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday that the attorneys for Trump and Roman geo-tracked Nathan Wade and found that Wade likely made at least 35 visits to Fani’s home BEFORE he was appointed to lead the case. They also discovered that the two exchanged over 2,000 voice calls and almost 12,000 text messages in the 11 months of January to November 2021 before Nathan Wade was hired.

Michael Roman’s lawyer, Ashleigh Merchant, questioned a squirming and sweating Bradley for an hour about his knowledge of his long-time friend, former law partner, and former client, Nathan Wade’s relationship with Fani Willis. She confronted him on text messages that he apparently sent to Merchant, where he admitted that Wade started dating Willis before she hired him!

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Bradley was sweating bullets on the witness stand as he was grilled about Wade’s relationship with Willis.

Nathan Wade Divorce Attorney SWEATS BULLETS on the Witness Stand as Lawyers Grill Him About When Fani Willis’ Relationship with Wade Began…He Suddenly Has Amnesia (VIDEO)

Bradley continues to claim he has “no direct knowledge of when the relationship started,” despite previously providing knowledge of the relationship starting before Fani Willis hired Nathan Wade.

Throughout the testimony, Bradley continued to assert that he “can’t recall” the answers to questions.

However, Roman’s attorneys brought the receipts!

Immediately after Bradley was sworn in, Merchant began asking him about text messages he sent admitting that the relationship started before Wade was hired and appointed to prosecute Trump. Bradley was hostile and refused to answer, claiming he didn’t remember or “cannot answer,” and his attorneys objected to all questions.

Watch Merchant’s questions from the beginning and end of the hearing below:

Bradley later claimed he was just speculating and did not recall how he knew this information when asked by multiple other attorneys. However, it does not appear that he ever told Merchant over text that he was speculating or did not know the specifics.

At the end of Merchant’s examination of the witness, she again asked him about these text messages, and he again acknowledged that they existed but refused to revise any previous testimony. He also apparently told Ashleigh Merchant that Nathan Wade and Fani Willis would deny the truth about their relationship:

Merchant: Do you recall me asking you, “Do you think it started before she hired him,” and you said, “absolutely?” Do you recall that?

Bradley: I see that in the text messages, yes.

Merchant: And do you also recall me asking you how they would react, if they would attack me? And you said, “No. They will deny it.”

Bradley: That’s written in there, yes.

Merchant: Is there any of your testimony from today or the previous days that you want to correct?

Bradley: No. I’ve answered everything that you’ve asked.

Joe Biden’s America: Illegal Alien From Venezuela Arrested For Sexual Assault of Minor in Virginia

By: Cristina Laila — February 27th 2024 at 17:00


Renzo Mendoza Montes – Campbell County Sheriff’s Office

Joe Biden’s America.

Venezuela emptied its prisons and some of its most dangerous gang members and murderers have illegally crossed into the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.

An illegal alien from Venezuela was arrested and charged for sexually assaulting a minor.

According to the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office, Renzo Mendoza Montes, 32 was arrested last Thursday for sexually assaulting a minor.

Fox News reported:

Authorities in Virginia have arrested a 32-year-old Venezuelan migrant in connection with a sexual assault on a minor, the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Fox News.

The Campbell County Sheriff’s Office said that Renzo Mendoza Montes, 32, was arrested on Thursday, February 22, on two felony charges in connection with a sexual assault on a minor.

According to deputies, Mendoza is a Venezuelan citizen who is in the country illegally after being detained and released by US Customs and Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, on September 2, 2023.

Deputies told Fox News that Mendoza was being held without bond, but has now been taken into ICE custody.

Americans are being brutally murdered and sexually assaulted by Venezuelan illegals thanks to Joe Biden.

Venezuelan illegals have stormed the US border and even planted their flag on US soil in Texas.

And now innocent Americans are paying the price for Joe Biden’s open borders.

22-year-old Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student, was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal last week.

According to an affidavit unsealed, the barbaric savage who murdered Laken Riley “disfigured her skull.”

Sleep well, America.

Mercedes Pushes Back on Going All-Electric After Cold Hard Truth Kneecaps Plan

By: Michael Schwarz, The Western Journal — February 27th 2024 at 17:20

Almost no one who objects to electric vehicles does so because he or she has an attachment to fossil fuels. The problem with EVs is that the most affluent segment of the population has developed an obsession with them. And this, like all obsessions, had made rational thinking impossible.

Fortunately, a market economy eventually forces all producers to face reality if they hope to stay in business.

On Thursday, Mercedes-Benz became the latest manufacturer to announce that its transition from combustion-engine vehicles to EVs had hit a snag.

“Mercedes-Benz continued its transformation in 2023, developing new cutting-edge electric and digital innovations, while scaling electric vehicles and delivering solid financial results,” CEO Ola Kaellenius said in a news release detailing 2023 financial results.

Meanwhile, Kaellenius explained what “scaling electric vehicles” really meant.

In short, he described the expected transition to EVs as full of “peaks and troughs,” according to Reuters.

“We want to make clear to customers and investors that we will make use of strategic flexibility,” the CEO said.

According to Fox Business, that meant Mercedez-Benz would continue to manufacture combustion-engine vehicles into the next decade.

Less than three years ago, in July 2021, the automaker said it was “getting ready to go all electric by the end of the decade.”

“By 2022, Mercedes-Benz will have battery electric vehicles (BEV) in all segments the company serves,” the company said in a news release. “From 2025 onwards, all newly launched vehicle architectures will be electric-only.”

How quickly things change.

Coupled with a share buyback policy announced in the Thursday release, the news sent company stocks soaring by 5.9 percent, according to Fox Business.

The announcement by Mercedes-Benz followed similar concessions by other automakers.

For instance, last week, the Amazon-backed EV manufacturer Rivian announced that it would lay off 10 percent of its salaried workforce in light of poor fourth-quarter 2023 financial results and a bleak 2024 outlook.

Even the Biden administration intends to scale back its ambitious plan to require that EVs comprise 60 percent of all new car manufacturing by 2030, Reuters reported last week.

Alas, despite an estimated opportunity cost of 50 percent profit loss, the Ford Motor Co. appeared poised to make the same capital investment in EVs this year as it did in 2023.

Meanwhile, consumers in less-affluent areas have shown palpable indifference to the government-backed EV push.

And responsible company executives have recognized the trend. Last month, for instance, Toyota Motor Corp. Chairman Akio Toyoda predicted that EVs would never overtake gas-powered vehicles.

The deeper problem, however, has little to do with supply and demand. In truth, it has a spiritual component that makes it impossible to solve by rational means.

Wealthy liberals who live empty lives need purpose as much as anyone else. And they find that purpose in every gesture, no matter how small, that they believe helps “save the planet.”

Indeed, if climate change amounts to an existential crisis, as they think it does, then no gesture qualifies as small. And no demand on behalf of saving the planet strikes them as unreasonable.

Less-affluent people, on the other hand, remain too busy with the ordinary demands of survival and raising families to trouble themselves with gestures.

These are no mere generalities. In fact, according to a survey published last month, U.S. elites harbor radical views on climate change. And those views include an eagerness to impose authoritarian remedies at their less-fortunate neighbors’ expense.

Ordinary Americans, of course, have noticed. And probably for that reason as much as any other, they have resisted the push toward EVs.

ICE Arrests Guatemalan Illegal Convicted of Sexually Assaulting Child Under the Age of 14 – Released by Local Massachusetts Court Despite ICE Detainer!

By: Cristina Laila — February 27th 2024 at 17:40

An illegal alien from Guatemala convicted of sexually assaulting a child under the age of 14 was arrested by ICE last week.

According to ICE, the 34-year-old Guatemalan illegal was previously released by the Gloucester District Court in Massachusetts despite an ICE detainer against him.

“On Feb. 21, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston arrested an unlawfully present 34-year-old citizen of Guatemala in Gloucester who was recently convicted locally of indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14. The unlawfully present Guatemalan national had been released by the Gloucester District Court, despite ERO Boston having filed an immigration detainer against him.” – ICE said in a statement.

“The arrest was part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) most recent national enforcement effort, which focused on the apprehension of unlawfully present noncitizen sex offenders. ERO officers apprehended 275 unlawfully present noncitizen sex offenders during the nationwide law enforcement effort that took place between Feb. 5 and Feb. 16.” ICE said.

“This individual represented a dire threat to the residents of Massachusetts,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons. “Unlawfully present, convicted sex offenders should not be given the opportunity to reoffend. The victim of his crimes deserves better from our justice system. The men and women of ERO Boston will continue to protect our communities from such threats.”

This is the second time within the last month that an illegal alien charged with rape was released in Massachusetts.

Last month one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens from Haiti charged with rape of a disabled person was released by Boston authorities in defiance of a detainer from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the 31-year-old illegal alien entered the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation in December 2022 at the port of entry in Brownsville, Texas.

UPDATE: Per ICE source, the 31-year-old Haitian man’s name is Pierre Lucard Emile. Source also provided a photo of him from federal database.

Victor Reacts: New Survey Shows Young People Support Trump (VIDEO)

By: Victor Nieves — February 27th 2024 at 18:00

Generation Z is going to send a powerful message in 2024 when they show up and vote for Donald Trump.

As reported by the Gateway Pundit,

Former President Donald Trump is more popular with young voters than any other age group.
Generation Z represents those currently between the ages of 18-24.

A recent Harvard CAPS–Harris survey found 57 percent of voters approved of the job Trump did as president, and 41 percent disapproved.

When breaking that approval rating down by age group, a massive 64 percent majority of Gen Z voters approved of the job Trump did as president.

Joe Biden told young people that he was going to “build back better” when in reality all he did was actively destroy our future. He taxed us to death and used that money to fund foreign wars, he opened our border up for invasion, and he destroyed our economy.

His radical support for limitless abortion, child sex change operations, and the destruction of western values was expected to win over the youth. Fortunately, it seems that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

Joe Biden’s policies have been nothing short of devastating to our future and young people have woken up to that reality.

A massive blaze that’s raging out of control is threatening Texas Panhandle towns and forcing residents to evacuate.

The Smokehouse Creek Fire, the largest wildfire burning in the region, has exploded to 200,000 acres since igniting Monday afternoon, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.

The blaze, driven by gusty winds and fueled by dry, unseasonably warm conditions, is moving incredibly rapidly and remains 0% contained.

Evacuations were ordered early Tuesday afternoon for parts of Hemphill and Roberts counties as the fire encroached on populated areas. This includes the town of Canadian, Texas, around an hour and half northeast of Amarillo, Texas.

Parts of Fritch, Texas, which straddles Moore and Hutchinson counties to the north of Amarillo, are also under an evacuation order for a separate fire, city officials and the Texas A&M Forest Service said.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott released a statement on the wildfires.

“I issued a disaster declaration today to deploy resources to 60 counties impacted by these devastating wildfires,” Abbott said. “Please take all precautions to protect yourself & your loved ones.”

“Thanks to the brave firefighters working 24/7 to protect their fellow Texans,” Abbott said of the wildfires.

Huge Number of Americans Fear Free Speech Disintegrating

By: Guest Contributor — February 27th 2024 at 18:40

Many think First Amendment ‘goes too far in the rights it guarantees’

Free speech fights are becoming more and more common these days, as social media play a growing role in people’s lives and the leftist corporate owners insist more and more that only their views should be allowed to be disseminated to the public.

Even Joe Biden’s administration tried to use public money to set up what was described as essentially the same as the “Ministry of Truth” found in the dystopian novel “1984.”

The result isn’t good, according to a new poll, which reveals only 1 in 4 Americans think their right to free speech is secure, and more than two-thirds say the nation’s trajectory on free speech is going the wrong way.

The poll is from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression and the Polarization Research Lab.

When asked about “whether people are able to freely express their views,” 69% of respondents said things in America are heading in the wrong direction, compared to only 31% who believe that things are heading in the “right direction,” the polling revealed.

Almost one-third of the respondents, 29%, said free speech is not at all secure.

“The average American already thinks that free speech in America is in dire straits. Most worryingly, they think it will get worse,” said FIRE chief research Adviser Sean Stevens. “These findings should be a wake-up call for the nation to recommit to a vibrant free speech culture before it’s too late.”

The poll was done Jan. 12-19 and FIRE said it is the first installment of a National Speech Index, a new quarterly survey intended to measure support for the First Amendment.

“Polarization not only divides Americans on policy, but it fractures our assessments of the stability of the bedrock features of our democracy,” said PRL Director Sean Westwood. “Nearly half of Democrats think free speech rights are headed in the right direction, compared to only 26 percent of Republicans. And more than a third of Republicans think the right to free speech is not secure, compared to only 17 percent of Democrats.”

The groups reported, “One alarmingly common belief that crosses partisan lines is that idea that the First Amendment ‘goes too far in the rights it guarantees.’ Around a third of Republicans and a third of Democrats ‘completely’ or ‘mostly’ agree with that statement. ”

The survey proposed several statements that, though offensive to some, are protected by the First Amendment.

“Roughly half of respondents (52%) said their community should not allow a public speech that espouses the belief they selected as the most offensive. A supermajority, 69%, said their local college should not allow a professor who espoused that belief to teach classes,” the report said.

Stevens said the results were not surprising, but were disappointing.

“Here at FIRE, we’ve long observed that many people who say they’re concerned about free speech waver when it comes to beliefs they personally find offensive. But the best way to protect your speech in the future is to defend the right to controversial and offensive speech today.”

Singer Charlotte Church Leads Choir, Including Children, in Genocidal Song Calling for Eradication of Israel (Video)

By: Margaret Flavin — February 27th 2024 at 19:00

Welsh musician and actor Charlotte Church, 38,  appeared at a “Sing for Palestine” event in South Wales on Saturday and led a choir of about 100 people, which included children, in singing a protest chant calling for the destruction and eradication of Israel.

Video from the event shows Church in a keffiyeh leading the group with a song version of the “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” chant.

Sorry @charlottechurch but I just couldn’t keep a straight face. That was the first time I’d actually seen the footage… Sorry pic.twitter.com/fDVvGAj8jv

— Jake Wallis Simons (@JakeWSimons) February 26, 2024

On Monday, during an Instagram Live, Church said, “Just to clarify my intentions there, I am in no way antisemitic. I am fighting for the liberation of all people. I have a deep heart for all religions and all difference.”

“It was a beautiful, beautiful event. But unfortunately, the powers that be can’t have that. [They] can’t have such a powerful symbol of resistance as what we worked towards on Saturday.”

According to The Guardian, on Monday evening, Church told Novara Media she “hates the idea that anybody thinks I am at all antisemitic or trying to make things more divisive.”

Adding, “But I stand by everything that we sang on Saturday, it was really beautiful.”

Singer Charlotte Church leads the choir in a genocidal song.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism has called for an investigation by the Charity Commission and spoke with The Daily Mail:

‘The genocidal chant ‘From the River to the Sea’ refers to the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea, and only makes sense as a call for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state – and its replacement with a Palestinian state. It is a call for the annihilation of half the world’s Jews, who live in Israel.

‘Since 7th October, when Hamas committed their barbaric terrorist acts, we have heard this chant on the streets of Britain during anti-Israel marches, accompanied by all manner of anti-Jewish racism.

‘Singing ‘From the River to the Sea’ is not standing up for human rights. At best Charlotte Church has been tone deaf, but at worst she is using the voice for which she is so well known to fan the flames of hatred. You cannot stoop lower than using your stardom to teach kids to sing extremist lyrics in a village hall.’

Church rose to fame at an early age releasing her debut album, Voice of an Angel, when she was only 12 years old and made Church the youngest artist in history with a number 1 album on the British classical crossover charts.

“Uncommitted” Democrat Voters in Michigan Plan to Vote for Trump in General Election

By: Anthony Scott — February 27th 2024 at 19:20

In a protest against Joe Biden’s policies on the war in Gaza, many Democrats in Michigan are voting “uncommitted” in the Democratic presidential primary.

The protest is being led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who, according to NBC, in the days leading up to the primary, sent robocalls to 87,000 residents in Michigan urging them to vote “uncommitted” in the primary.

On Tuesday morning, Rep. Tlaib posted a video explaining why she voted uncommitted and refused to vote for Biden.

Despite Tlaib using the protest to send a message to Biden to change his policies, some Democrat voters in Michigan have had enough with Biden and plan to vote for Trump in the general election.

The Daily Mail talked to Dearborn resident Jamileh Karkaba, who told the outlet she planned to vote uncommitted in the Democratic primary and for Trump in the general election.

Per The Daily Mail:

Jamileh Karkaba is a driving instructor who immigrated to the U.S. from Lebanon decades ago.

‘I want Republicans now, because Biden is not doing nothing for us,’ she said. ‘He’s helping Israel to kill our people.’

She said she came to vote uncommitted on the Democratic ballot, but will pull the lever for Trump in November, saying she was ‘so comfortable’ when he was in office.

Axios reporter Samuel Robinson was also on the ground in Dearborn, Michigan, interviewing several Dearborn residents, such as Hassan Balhas.

Robinson reported, “Hassan Balhas voted uncommitted and won’t vote for Biden in November. He tells me at this point he’d rather have Trump.”

“Republicans and Democrats are the same. I work two jobs right now — I’ve never had to before under any president,” added Balhas.

Jewish Students Threatened and Assaulted During UC Berkeley Speech by IDF Soldier – Jews Forced to Evacuate Building Through Tunnels

By: Jim Hoft — February 27th 2024 at 20:00
Angry Pro-Palestinian mob shut down a speech organized by Jewish students on the UC Berkeley campus on Monday night.

Pro-Palestinian goons threatened and assaulted Jewish students at UC Berkeley during their campus speaking event, “Israel at War” at the far left school.

The violent pro-Palestinian mob pounded on doors, assaulted Jewish students, broke glass windows, and forced the Jewish students to flee through tunnels for their own safety.

The Jewish students were forced to flee the building through a campus tunnel to escape the violent leftist mob.

Breitbart.com reported:

Jewish students at University of California-Berkeley (UC Berkeley) were forced to leave campus after a mob of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protesters shut down their speaking event featuring Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier Ran Bar-Yoshafat.

A speaking event, titled “Israel at War: Combat the Lies,” at Zellerbach Playhouse on the UC Berkeley campus was shut down Monday night after a mob of protesters stormed the area chanting, “Long live the Intifada!” and breaking glass on the doors of the building in which the event was set to be held.

Richie Greenberg posted video of the far left Jew-hating protesters pounding on the glass doors before they broke the glass last night.

Kamala Harris Announces Biden Regime will “Now Allow Students to Get Paid Through Federal Work Study to Register People” to Vote (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 27th 2024 at 20:20

Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced the Biden Regime will now allow students to get paid through federal work study to register people to vote.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Harris privately met with a few dozen leaders to push a plan to ‘protect voting rights’ – which is Democrat speak for flooding the ballot boxes with fraudulent ballots.

“We have seen those who would loudly attempt to interfere in the lawful votes of the American people and attempt to question the integrity of a fair and free election system,” Harris said before the roundtable in the Indian Treaty Room. “We have seen a rise in threats against poll workers. In fact, I met some recently in Georgia who had harrowing experiences in terms of how they were threatened, their well-being as well as their livelihood.”

Harris said she will be in Selma, Alabama on Sunday to commemorate ‘Bloody Sunday’ to remember John Lewis and others.

“Many of us will be in Selma on Sunday to commemorate Bloody Sunday to remember the great John Lewis and Amelia Boynton and so many others — to issue a call, yet again, for Congress to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act,” Harris said.

Harris said the new plan will allow students to get paid through federal work study to register people to vote in an effort to “activate them.”

ABC News reported:

In her White House meeting, Harris laid out a four-point plan that the administration will initiate to try to bolster voters’ rights.

The plan includes emailing instructions on how to register to vote to everyone enrolled in the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare; allowing students to get paid through federal work study for helping people to register to vote and working as nonpartisan poll workers; implementing initiatives to protect election workers; and announcing three national “days of action” to promote voting.

The three days will be Juneteenth, June 19, the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act on Aug. 6 and National Voter Registration Day on Sept. 17, according to Harris.

The vice president also said she will be in Selma, Alabama, on Sunday in remembrance of “Bloody Sunday,” when white law enforcement officers attacked Black voting rights marchers on March 7, 1965, at the height of the civil rights movement.

Actor Gary Sinise Suffers Loss of His 33-Year-Old Son After Difficult Health Battle

By: Johnathan Jones, The Western Journal — February 27th 2024 at 20:40

Hollywood actor and veterans advocate Gary Sinise on Tuesday announced the death of his son at age 33 following a long battle against a rare form of cancer.

Sinise posted a link to a message on his foundation’s website about his son McCanna’s death last month.

“In honor & Memory of McCanna Anthony ‘Mac’ Sinise: 1990-2024,” the post read.

A message from Gary. https://t.co/Bb2ji85bSi pic.twitter.com/Jhlrx6q9W9

— Gary Sinise (@GarySinise) February 27, 2024

In a lengthy tribute to Mac that was signed by his grieving father, Sinise told the world his son died on Jan. 5 and was laid to rest weeks later on Jan. 23.

He explained that his son’s diagnosis came five years ago while his wife was fighting breast cancer.

“The summer of 2018 was a particularly challenging time for our family,” the “Forrest Gump” actor wrote. “In June of that year, my wife Moira was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and after surgery to remove lymph nodes, she began chemotherapy and radiation.

“Then, on August 8th, we found out that Mac was diagnosed with a very rare cancer called Chordoma. What was happening? What is Chordoma? I had never heard of this. And two cancer patients, mother and son, within two months of each other?”

Sinise described the dual cancer diagnoses of those he loved the most as a “real punch in the gut” for him.

The actor referred to Chordoma as a “one in a million cancer” that strikes only 300 Americans on average per year.

“In 70% of the cases the initial tumor can be removed, and it is cured,” Sinise wrote. “But in 30% of the cases, perhaps about 90 people per year, the cancer returns.”

He said his son had fought the cancer for five years before he was hospitalized for the final time in December.

“He gave his family and friends so much during his 33 years, and he accomplished great things in those final months,” Sinise wrote.

The actor said Mac had spent much of his time in his final months working on inspirational music, which came together in an album titled “Resurrection and Revival.” Sinise said the record, which features his group, the Lt. Dan Band, will be released soon, with proceeds going to the Gary Sinise Foundation per Mac’s request.

“Thank you, Mac. You did it,” he wrote.

Sinise said his son “was a man who loved his Catholic faith, and there is no doubt that his strong faith sustained him through the awful 5 ½ year battle with this crippling Chordoma cancer.”

“We were blessed to have you in our lives as son, brother, and friend … and we will miss you and love you for eternity,” he wrote.

Sinise signed the statement as the “Proud father of Mac Sinise.”

Mac Sinise graduated from the University of Southern California Thorton School of Music.

He was a passionate composer, drummer and songwriter, his father wrote.

Wisconsin Public School Superintendent Resigns After Troubling Racial Rant on Radio Show

By: Margaret Flavin — February 27th 2024 at 21:00
Image: Green Bay Schools / Facebook

Wisconsin school superintendent Dr. Claude Tiller Jr. recently resigned from his position after comments calling his jurisdiction “lily” white and referring to a district principal as a “bitch.”

Tiller was on an Atlanta radio show, “Relationship Talk with Dr. Adrienne,” on WAOK, to talk about the challenges facing public education.  During a break, in a hot mic moment, he was heard referring to a district teacher as a “bitch” while the show’s webcam was still broadcasting.

While his district is 40% white, 31% Hispanic, 9% black, and 8% Asian, Tiller bemoaned that 90% of his teachers were white.  He was in Atlanta to recruit more teachers of color.

Tiller also took time during the interview to insult the community that elevated him to one of the highest levels in his field, saying, “The mindset in Green Bay, Black and brown folks, it’s almost like stepping back in time. So I have to go debunking some micro-aggressions before I even go into.”

When the show’s host characterized the town’s racial makeup as “lily white,” he doubled down, saying, “A lily on top of a lily.”

According to Spectrum News 1, Tiller also told the audience his reaction to moving to Green Bay was, “I said, Lord, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go to no white district.”

This is former Green Bay Area Public Schools superintendent Dr. Claude Tiller Jr. (@DrTillerJr)

He was caught on a hot mic giving a racist rant about white people.

He wasn’t fired. He resigned after the district agreed to pay him a lump sum of over $250,000. They also thanked… pic.twitter.com/hhIU1H3gyv

— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) February 27, 2024

The school board voted to accept Tiller’s resignation and thanked him for his many contributions.

NBC26 reports Tiller will be paid more than $250,000 in an agreement to resign.

According to the deal, received by NBC 26 through an open records request, the district will pay Tiller a lump sum of $250,833.

The agreement states that payment includes 10 months of pay plus cash for benefits — dental, medical, vision — for the 15 remaining months of his contract.

Tiller will also receive compensation for retirement and $5,000 to cover his legal fees as well, according to the deal.

Combatting Slavery in China

By: Guest Contributor — February 27th 2024 at 21:20

This story originally was published by Real Clear Wire

By Callista Gingrich
Real Clear Wire

A report published on February 14 revealed that the Chinese Communist Party is continuing to target and enslave Uyghurs through an expansion of forced labor in China. Published by The Jamestown Foundation and authored by Beijing-banned academic Adrian Zenz, the report concluded, “Xinjiang currently operates the world’s largest system of state-imposed forced labor.”

The atrocities that the Chinese Communist Party perpetrates against members of ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang have come to light in recent years, including mass imprisonment of more than 1 million civilians, forced sterilization, separation of children from their families, torture, abuse, restrictions on religious freedom, and forced labor.

While most of China is composed of the Han ethnic group, more than half of the population of the northwestern region of Xinjiang consists of ethnic minorities (predominately Muslim Uyghurs) – who the Party has long sought to control.

In 2021, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo determined that the Chinese Communist Party was committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang – a determination that Secretary of State Antony Blinken upheld.

Though the horrific methods the Party wields to subjugate these minority groups vary, the objective remains the same.

“It’s a strategy of control and assimilation,” Zenz told The New Yorker. “And it’s designed to eliminate Uyghur culture.”

Forced labor systems in Xinjiang – punishable by detention for non-compliance – are a key part of removing resistance and opposition to the CCP’s absolute authority and power. In his report, Zenz pointed to two dominant systems used to target Uyghurs and other ethnic groups in Xinjiang.

In one system, detainees in China’s infamous re-education camps received coercive skills training before receiving coercive work placement. Detainees who were viewed as less problematic received a sentence of forced labor, while others, such as prominent business and intellectual figures, were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.

Though it appears this system is no longer active, Zenz noted that the Chinese Communist Party is instead expanding its “Poverty Alleviation Through Labor Transfer” program. Zenz described this policy as “a non-internment state-imposed forced labor mobilization system.”

A Chinese academic research report, the Nankai Report, described the re-education camps as a “drastic short-term measure” and the labor transfers as a long-term “method to reform, meld and assimilate” Uyghurs.

But the bottom line is clear. “Xinjiang’s recent policy changes have rendered forced labor less visible and more challenging to conceptualize,” Zenz wrote. “Uyghur forced labor is becoming both more prevalent and more insidious.”

The United States must take notice of these findings that disguise coerced labor as voluntary.

In 2021, Congress passed into law the bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. The law prohibits goods made by the Chinese Communist Party’s forced labor programs from entering the U.S. market. However, numerous products tied to slave labor continue to evade legal protections and arrive in American households.

Chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP Rep. Mike Gallagher and Ranking Member Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi wrote a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas that outlined some of the key challenges to effectively enforcing this consequential law.

First, the members wrote, “Companies transfer forced laborers from [Xinjiang] to other regions in the People’s Republic of China, complicating [U.S. Department of Homeland Security] enforcement of the presumptive ban on forced labor products from [Xinjiang].” Additionally, “A second factor undermining enforcement of the [law] is Beijing’s increased transshipment of forced labor products to the United States through third countries.”

Last week, to further augment and strengthen U.S. efforts in the fight against human rights abuses in Xinjiang, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the bipartisan and bicameral Uyghur Policy Act. This legislation, led by Rep. Young Kim, will authorize the State Department to appoint a Special Coordinator for Uyghur issues, direct the U.S. Agency for Global Media to distribute information on Uyghur genocide, and authorize support for Uyghur human rights activists.

As the Chinese Communist Party continues to target Uyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in China, the United States must strengthen the enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and resolve to pass the Uyghur Policy Act into law.

WATCH: Nathan Wade had Garage Door Opener to Fani Willis’ Home, Had Sex With Fani Willis at Her Law Office BEFORE She Was DA According to Trump Co-Defendant’s Attorney – Attorney Says Terrence Bradley Previously Gave Her This Information

By: Jordan Conradson — February 27th 2024 at 22:00
Nathan Wade watches from counsel’s table as Terrance Bradley is questioned about texts he sent to Michael Roman’s attorney, Ashleigh Bradley

Terrence Bradley, Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer, allegedly told Trump co-defendant Michael Roman’s attorney outside of court that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade had sex at the law office she was renting before she was Fulton County District Attorney.

Bradley was back on the stand on Tuesday after previously refusing to answer questions and hiding behind attorney-client privilege. However, Judge Scott McAfee ruled he was not protected by attorney-client privilege and ordered him to testify Tuesday morning.

Attorney Ashleigh Merchant made this bombshell revelation during her examination of Bradley in the third hearing on a Motion to Disqualify Fani Willis from the RICO case against Trump and 18 co-defendants. Merchant asked Bradley if it’s true that Fani Willis had sex with Nathan Wade at her private law office before she was District Attorney and before Wade was hired to lead the prosecution.

Watch a replay of Bradley’s full testimony earlier here.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on text messages that Bradley sent to Roman’s attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, where he said that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade “absolutely” started a relationship before Willis’s office hired Wade.

He further told Merchant via text message, “They will deny it.” Wade and Willis both testified earlier this month that they started a relationship AFTER he was appointed to lead the Trump election interference case. The two also claimed that they met at Willis’s home no more than ten times, but according to geo-tracking data, Wade likely visited Willis’s home 35 TIMES.

Despite having text message receipts, Bradley repeatedly claimed that he did not remember any conversations he had with Wade or what messages he sent to Merchant.

Bradley was sweating bullets on the witness stand as he was grilled about Nathan Wade’s relationship with DA Fani Willis.

Roughly 30 minutes into the hearing, Bradley agreed with Merchant that Fani Willis had a meeting at Bradley’s office before she was District Attorney, and Nathan Wade was present “in the back” at the office. Merchant then asked if Bradley remembers “telling me about them spending time together at her law office before she took the job” as DA. Bradley responded, “I don’t recall,” before Merchant asked if he knew that Fani Willis rented an office from Nathan Wade’s personal attorney in this matter, Andrew Evans.

After an objection and Bradley’s attempt to dodge the question, he admitted that he knew she “rented an office from the Evans.”

“Do you remember telling me that Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis would rendezvous at that office?” Merchant asked before the attorneys interrupted with another objection.

After another attempt to dodge the question and more objections from Bradley’s attorney, the Judge ultimately ruled that knowledge of an encounter at the office was not hearsay if the information came from Nathan Wade, himself. Bradley then admitted, “Any knowledge that I would have received would have come from my client [Nathan Wade] at the time.”

However, Bradley claimed that he did not recall what he learned from Nathan Wade and that he only had one conversation with Wade about their relationship. “I do recall knowing that they would– that he would go down to the office or had been down to the office, but I couldn’t tell you in what capacity or when or any of that,” said Bradley.

Apparently, during one of these visits to Fani Willis’s office, Nathan Wade had sex with her, according to messages received by Merchant. But Bradley repeatedly claimed that he doesn’t “remember [Wade] saying that,” while dodging the question, “It’s possible he did say that?”

Merchant then asked, “Do you recall that he had a garage door opener to either a house or a condo or something like that of Ms. Willis’s?” Bradley could not give a definitive answer as to whether or not he had knowledge of this or made it up in a conversation with Merchant.

Bradley was also questioned as to whether Nathan Wade told him or if he had any knowledge about the vacations that Wade and Fani Willis took. He claimed that he had no knowledge whatsoever about these trips. “I did not know until you texted that you found that in… something from his divorce,” Bradley claimed.

“When you responded, ‘doesn’t surprise me. They took many trips to Florida, Texas, and California,’ those are your words, though, right?” Merchant asked. After the attorney for Bradley made a failed objection and Merchant asked again if he remembered saying over text that he knew about some trips they took and wouldn’t be surprised, Bradley said again, “I don’t recall that, but if–I don’t recall.”

Nathan Wade also took the stand and testified under oath earlier this month that he paid for all the vacations he took with Fani Willis with his business card – and Fani Willis reimbursed him in CASH for expenses.

Bradley later told co-defendant Robert Cheeley’s attorney, Richard Rice, that he doesn’t know if he would lie about Nathan Wade, a long-time friend of over ten years, when asked about his text messages to Ashleigh Merchant.

Bodycam Footage Catches Cop Praying During Horrific Shooting Inside Joel Osteen’s Houston Megachurch

By: Jack Davis, The Western Journal — February 28th 2024 at 07:00

Bodycam footage that has been released of the Feb. 11 shooting at Lakewood Church in Houston revealed that one person responding to the scene prayed while waiting to confront the shooter.

“We need to approach. Father God, just be with us Forgive us of our sins,” a female voice is heard saying in a snippet posted by NBC.

KHOU has identified the voice as that of off-duty Houston police officer Garcia.

During the incident, Genesse Moreno, 36, entered the church, which is led by Pastor Joel Osteen, with a rifle. Security officers responded with gunfire of their own and killed Moreno.

Moreno’s 7-year-old son was critically wounded in the gunfire, and another church member was injured.

Officials have not said who shot the child in the head or released a motive for the attack.

Katherine Schweit, who created the FBI’s active shooter program, said responding officers did their job..

“It was gripping to listen to the officer asking God to guide them, knowing she needed to move closer as fast as she can. The frightening part, the reality you see in that footage, she doesn’t know what she’s going to face,” she said, according to KHOU.

Video of the incident that was released showed Moreno with a rifle walking through the lobby and parishioners running after a shot was fired.

At one point in the video, a male responding said that he is “pinned down” by Moreno.

The video shows Moreno, as she stood over her wounded child, calling out “Stand down, I have a bomb.”

NBC reported that after the child was shot, Garcia knelt by the boy and prayed, “Father God, please bring him close to you.”

The full video released by Houston police is on YouTube and is shown below. Viewers should be aware the video contains graphic violence.

Mark Stevens, a retired Houston police detective, said the off-duty officers had to react to the unexpected, according to KTRK-TV.

“I mean she just appears. There is no time other than to take immediate action,” he said.

He said officers were outgunned because they had handguns and Moreno had a rifle.

“Shooting a rifle is a distance thing. I mean, they can pick you off from a long way away. Those officers had to get close enough, so their shots were accurate,” Stevens said.

Pigs Fly: New York City Mayor Adams Calls for Changes to Sanctuary City Law

By: Cassandra MacDonald — February 28th 2024 at 07:15

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has called for lawmakers to change the Sanctuary City law.

Mayor Adams said he wants the law to be modified to allow for migrants who commit violent crimes to be deported.

Speaking at an event on Tuesday, Adams said “The overwhelming amount of migrants that are here, they want to work. I still don’t understand why the federal government’s not allowing them to work.”

Wow.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is calling for NYC’s sanctuary city law to be changed so that criminal illegal aliens can be deported.

Democrats don’t even want to live under their policies. pic.twitter.com/izwPI95NrY

— Congressman Troy E. Nehls (@RepTroyNehls) February 27, 2024

Adams continued, “They need to have the right to work like all of us that have come to this country had the ability to do so.”

“But those small numbers that are committing crimes, we need to modify the sanctuary city law that if you commit a felony, a violent act, we should be able to turn you over to [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and have you deported. It is a right to live in this city, and you should not be committing crimes in our city. Right now, we don’t have the authority to do so.”

The liberal mayor also discussed the issue during a press conference later in the day.

“I don’t believe people who are violent in our city and commit repeated crimes should have the privilege of being in our city,” Adams said. “You don’t have the right to be in our city and tarnish the overwhelming number who are here following the rules.”

The Hill reports, “The call for a policy shift comes after a spate of high-profile violent crimes committed by migrants, including the shooting of a tourist in a Times Square store robbery earlier this month.”

New York was the first city to implement “Sanctuary City” laws, promising to protect illegal migrants. The city is now overrun and begging for help from the federal government.

Illegal Immigration, Ukraine, and the Economy

By: Antonio Graceffo — February 28th 2024 at 07:30

 

By U.S. Customs and Border Protection – CBP Processing Unaccompanied Children, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=51178808

 

Mainstream media and the administration are pushing a narrative that funding for the Ukraine War and illegal immigration is helping the economy, both of which are complete nonsense. In fact, a Washington Post story on this topic begins by saying that “the economy is roaring,” and then goes on to explain how this amazing economy is driven by immigrants who are responsible for job creation.

Although they have twisted the interpretation of the economic data to make it appear that the economy is doing well, the average American is worse off than they were five years ago. Biden claims job creation, but the number of full-time jobs has been in steady decline. The number of part-time jobs is growing, and this is because of an influx of millions of people for whom minimum wage and no benefits are better than what they left behind. Twitter is full of ironic posts by conservatives saying, “Biden created X number of jobs, and I have three of them.” The number of Americans working two or more jobs has increased by 28% under Biden.

Wages have increased only modestly, while prices are up a cumulative 21 percent. Biden claims inflation is falling, but what he actually means is that prices are rising more slowly than they were a year ago. That is not much of a help if you already cannot afford to make ends meet. Gas is still about 42% higher than before the pandemic, and food is up 25%. The reasons why your dollar is buying less are because of government spending, credit expansion, deficits, debt, and money printing.

The funding for the Ukraine war is a perfect example. While there may be very legitimate national security reasons to defend Ukraine and oppose the expansion of Russia, it is not true that Ukraine funding is growing the US economy. The Wall Street Journal claims that the aid given to Ukraine benefits the US economy because much of it is actually paid to US defense contractors. And while this is true, that money represents government debt. The government is literally borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.

Government debt-funded spending helps a few US firms, but debt causes inflation and currency devaluation, which hurt Americans now. It also hurts Americans in the future in the form of taxes needed to repay the debt.

Illusory economic growth stemming from debt-fueled government spending is temporary and unsustainable. The boom must end in a bust, which will be even worse than our current economy. Government debt must be repaid with interest, and interest rates are currently dramatically higher than in 2019. Currently, the Fed discount window interest rate is 5.5%, and the monthly interest rate on US government debt is 3.15 percent.

Another issue with increasing America’s debt to defend another country is the opportunity cost. Buying weapons for Ukraine is not an investment in productive assets. If you take a loan to buy a machine that allows you to earn income in the future, you calculate the income against the debt, and if you have a positive gain, you borrow the money. For example, you take a loan to buy a limousine and then charge people $300 an hour to ride in it. But the money spent on Ukraine will never produce an economic return.

If the same amount of money had been put into education, research and development, or border security, America would see a return on its investment.

Turning our attention to border security takes us back to immigration. The Washington Post recently claimed that “About 50 percent of the labor market’s extraordinary recent growth came from foreign-born workers between January 2023 and January 2024.” All they are really saying is that 50% of the new jobs were taken by immigrants. This is not a benefit to the average American. The Congressional Budget Office claims that the economy will grow by $7 trillion over the next decade, and $1 trillion of this is attributable to immigration.

The $7 trillion figure is just a mathematical function of the average US annual growth times 10 years. And it is based on the highest Biden growth year, a one-time boost to the economy when Biden allowed people to get back to work after Covid. That $7 trillion will most likely take more like 15 years to materialize, assuming the US economy ever gets back to normal.

The additional $1 trillion attributed to immigrants is simply based on the projected increase in the size of the population. So, basically, what the data proves is that immigration makes the population larger, something we all probably knew. And these figures ignore the money spent on welfare, aid to immigrants and illegal immigrants, healthcare paid for by the state, the cost of educating immigrant children, the cost of courts and law enforcement, increased crime and drug use caused by open borders… all of which is funded by government debt which, as we have already covered, hurts the economy in the long term and diverts resources from other more productive activities or citizen services.

Lee Zeldin Drops a Truth Bomb on CNN Following Michigan Primary – Trump Beat ALL Democrats Combined (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hoft — February 28th 2024 at 07:45
CNN cuts off Lee Zeldin after he points out Trump had more votes than all Democrats combined.

Former Congressman Lee Zeldin went on CNN on Tuesday night after President Trump’s latest victory in the Michigan primary.

Deep state plant Nikki Haley could only must 28% of the primary vote even with her Democrat voter base.

Lee Zeldin noted that President Trump received more votes in Michigan than all Democrat primary votes COMBINED. Zeldin added, “It’s possible that the ENTIRE blue wall gets painted red this November.”

CNN did NOT want to hear that and promptly cut him off.

It was too much truth for the leftist panel.

Lee Zeldin: You know, there’s a big enthusiasm gap. If you, if you look right now, there’s, you know, 26, 27% of the vote in between the Democratic turnout, the Republican turnout, the republican turnout is right now far trouncing the Democratic turnout. And there’s a percentage of the total vote that we’re waiting to see come in. It’ll be interesting to see what comes in from Wayne county. Yes, I get that. But President Trump’s number at the moment is actually more than all of the Democratic Party primary voters together. So I would say that President Trump, when looking at the amount of people who are coming out to vote for him tonight, would be very encouraged by the amount of votes that he is getting compared to all the Democrats who have shown up.

That was enough for the other seven liberals on the panel. They promptly ignored Lee and moved on.

Via Lee Zeldin on X.

For the record, President Trump won more votes than all of the Democrat candidates (including “uncommitted”) combined last night in Michigan.

President Trump had 756,766 votes on Tuesday night.

And Joe Biden had 618,148 votes last night.

Patriot Streetfighters in Wisconsin Can Show Republicans How To Win 2024

By: Jim Hoft — February 28th 2024 at 08:00
Republicans will need a well defined strategy to defeat the fraud we witnessed in the 2020 election, including: ballot stuffing, late night ballot drops, and blocking GOP observers from the counting rooms.

In each of the 15 counties determining the 2024 presidential winner there exists a well-oiled, practiced, dedicated, funded ballot harvesting operation run by leftists.

Leftists know every voter profile – whether they are likely to vote or not.  Of course, they do – they have been voting for those profiles for 20 years!

Leftist organizations have the infrastructure in place – with NGOs and party organizations, to cast a ballot for any voter if they don’t vote.  In Milwaukee, leftist organizations monitor voter rolls – check who voted – make up the needed votes – no matter how many are required.

In 2024 leftists will run their 10th or 20th ballot harvest operation in each of the 15 key counties.

Leftists control the voter rolls in all 15 key counties.  They control most of the election apparatus.  They can – and did – add 22,000 new voters days before the 2022 election in Arizona to beat Kari Lake – who was burdened by using the RNC data team – thus never saw it coming – and won’t next time.

The Republicans will run their first ballot harvest – starting sometime in April 2024, with lists that are 50% incorrect.  What could go wrong?

One might conclude the situation is hopeless.  Not so fast.

Fractal AI data could save Republicans from the well organized Democrat fraud in 2024.

Hopelessness – for some – becomes a force – it was in Wisconsin in 2022 – where a band of hardy, gritty streetfighters said “enough” and showed how to win against this leftist machine – in a state where both the Republican leadership and the leftist government – fought them.

The Wisconsin streetfighters innovated – something Republicans never do.  Innovation beats infrastructure every time – and they proved it – as the American Thinker article notes in detail.

They royally screwed up the leftist plan to take out a U.S. Senator – learn from them!

The team identified every address where a mail-in ballot was going to go and not find an eligible recipient – because it was an ineligible address.

They did not challenge voters – they challenged addresses.

Addresses have neither rights nor lawyers, nor 40 years of nonsensical laws saying a dead person cannot be removed from the voter roll unless he does not vote in 8 years!

The streetfighters publicly outed addresses – making a laughingstock of the voter rolls:  who wants to defend the guy registered from the UPS Box or Walmart?

They scoured voter lists, cross-checked them with NCOA change of address lists and property tax lists, and determined that Willie, who votes every year, lives at a convenience store without any bedrooms.

They implemented quantum technology – for the first time ever.

The Wisconsin boys applied time series analysis across every voter to see how long someone had been voting from their current address.

Out popped college students at frat houses – voting for 20 years.  People may vote from a rehab facility – maybe – but not for 17 years!  Time series – not available with relational SQL technology – found these by the thousands.

Ineligible locations, when challenged, become indefensible!

The Wisconsin streetfighters did not produce complicated “algorithms.”  They did not produce “statistics” nobody understands. No reports.

They showed, in real time, from a tablet – every ineligible address that was going to receive a ballot – into the hundreds of thousands.

Armed with the list of where over 450,000 Wisconsin ballots were going to be mailed – in the 2022 election, to ineligible addresses – the streetfighter team started meeting with county registrars.

Let’s go there.

The team meets with the registrar in a Republican county.  They show her 200 registrations on an interactive tablet.  Together, they drill down to the actual address – which is a warehouse with no bedrooms.  It’s there, in Google maps.  You can see examples yourself on our micro-site for Kansas, Texas, Minnesota, Georgia – soon Mississippi and Alabama.

The registrar says “…I never knew this was an ineligible address” – and starts the process of removing them.  No mail-in ballot!

In some of the leftist-run counties, registrars refused to take the guy off the voter roll voting from the strip mall for decades.  The voters in the homeless shelters – who were there for over 10 years – remained.

However, a lot of them did not get mail-in ballots.  The registrars were informed, in writing, these addresses were “legally ineligible” thus if they received a mail-in ballot the registrar was subject to criminal penalties.

Nobody challenged a person’s right to vote.

Not one person was named as “Phineas is a phantom.”

Quite the opposite – the argument became – “Hey, this address is a strip mall, with no bedrooms and yet has 25 people registered there.  If mail-in ballots go there, we are coming after you.”

A U.S. Senate seat was won, more like saved, by a tiny margin, but saved nonetheless.

Did this effort stop every ballot going to a warehouse?  No.  But it stopped enough.  And enough is what we should be looking for.

Ballot harvesting is a thing for two reasons.  First, if you don’t know what to do, anything sounds good.  Second, it is a huge money maker for Republican operatives.

Ballot harvesting means hiring armies of “canvassers” who drop in, go door to door with those inaccurate RNC lists, and who gets a cut of that funding?  You guessed it!  The consultant class and the emerging MAGA grifter boys.

Trump is now an industry and Republicans are setting up shop!

The 2024 election can be won with technology, not last-minute ballot harvesting against those who perfected it.

Every major corporation in America is moving to quantum compute, advanced large language model and small language model A.I.  Not the Republicans – because they do not understand it, they are invested in ancient relational SQL data lake technology, and they can’t make a buck on it.

As we show on our micro-site for election related stuff, quantum compute technology can deliver in any county in America, in 30 days, insight showing where ballots will be mailed in 2024 – to ineligible addresses – costing Republicans the election.

No lists.  No stats.  No algorithms.  Just live, real time data – to your phone, tablet – making videos of them and posting them all day long – at 200 million transactions per second.

The Undeliverable Ballot Database.

The left is invested in crappy voter rolls – Republicans are hamstrung by them. 

What the streetfighters in Wisconsin taught is how to hang the leftists on those voter rolls.

Now that quantum can identify ineligible addresses by the thousands – months before the election – it’s too late for leftists to move illegal aliens in Wisconsin and Michigan, or college students in New Hampshire, to eligible locations.

Even if they do, quantum compute finds them in the time series – in one click.

Quantum compute freezes ineligible addresses, outs them for all to see, and challenges mail-in ballots going out – by showing pictures of the strip mall!    Stop mail-in ballot fraud before it happens!

In 2024, if Trump does not stop mail-in ballots from going to hundreds of thousands of ineligible locations, he certainly will not stop them from being cast and counted – against him.

Texas Resident Has Blistering Message for Biden Just Before of Border Visit: ‘He Knows Exactly What He’s Done’

By: Allison Anton, The Western Journal — February 28th 2024 at 08:15

While President Joe Biden might finally visit the nation’s southern border on Thursday, many border town residents aren’t all that excited about the prospect.

Indeed, Deborah Bell, who lives in Brownsville, Texas, had a blistering message for Biden.

She made her thoughts clear Tuesday morning on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” saying, “The residents, the agents, everybody’s talking about how this is gonna be a dog and pony show.”

According to Bell, few people are thrilled with the president’s visit.

“People are not happy that he is choosing right now of all times to come to Brownsville,” she said, pointing out that the Charro Days festival starts Thursday.

“Things are already going to look nice, but whatever needs to be fixed will be fixed, obviously, for President Biden,” Bell said. “And let’s say if it wasn’t fixed, he doesn’t care anyways. He knows exactly what he’s done to our country, and he’s just coming to survey his damage.”

Further, she said she thinks the president is reacting to conservative political gains in the area.

“Biden’s taking notice that the trend down here is shifting and people are very unhappy with what’s going on,” Bell said.

She said she had received several messages from residents expressing their intention to protest the president’s visit.

Watch the latest video at foxnews.com

Bell and her fellow Brownsville residents have a right to be upset with the Biden administration.

As Fox News reported, about 7.3 million illegal immigrants have entered this country since he took office in January 2021 — a number that exceeds the populations of 36 states.

Residents of towns like Brownsville — right on the border with Mexico — have borne the brunt of Biden’s weak border policies more than anyone in the country.

Of course they’re not happy that the president is coming to visit, especially since the trip is such a transparent attempt to boost his flagging approval numbers.

Not only that, but Biden is probably going to use the visit as a means to promote the border bill that was recently shot down in Congress.

Bell, then, speaks for many of the people living along the border.

Biden clearly has no desire to fix the border crisis he created, so his visit is nothing more than an empty political stunt.

And for the people witnessing the toll illegal immigration is taking on the country firsthand, their tolerance for empty political stunts is understandably low.

WAYNE ROOT: “If President Trump Campaigns Black, He Will Be Back” (in the White House)

By: Assistant Editor — February 28th 2024 at 09:00

By Wayne Allyn Root

My title for this column was meant to be funny, attention-getting and a bit tongue-in-cheek. But what my headline represents is real. It is “serious as a heart attack,” as the famous saying goes.

For all intents and purposes, President Trump is now the GOP nominee for President. It’s time to start the general election campaign. And I have the plan…

President Trump needs to go after the black vote 24/7 for the next nine months. This is THE road to victory.

I’m no Johnny-Come-Lately. I’ve been recommending this strategy for President Trump for many years. I wrote about it way back during the 2016 campaign. I wrote about it again during the 2020 race. I’ve given speeches about it.

The strategy is simple. President Trump already has the overwhelming majority of white middle-class voters. White middle-class America is “all-in” for Trump. Trump “had them at hello!”

But President Trump cannot win the 2024 election with just middle-class white votes. Even if it’s virtually ALL OF THEM!

Trump has so many white votes locked up, if he gets even a slight increase in black and minority votes, he will win a landslide.

That’s why President Trump needs to campaign 24/7 for the next nine months for black and minority votes. That’s the whole ballgame, the whole kitchen sink, the whole enchilada.

If Trump grabs an extra 10% to 20% of the black vote, “the fat lady sings.”

So, go after the black vote with TV ads on networks with large black audiences. Go after the black youth vote with interviews on urban black radio stations. Hold rallies in majority-black inner cities. Especially cities in battleground states where a few extra black votes could tilt the election…

*Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens in New York (which could be in play).

*Philadelphia in winnable Pennsylvania.

*Atlanta in winnable Georgia.

*Milwaukee in winnable Wisconsin.

*Detroit in winnable Michigan.

The point is to go where no Republican has ever gone. To challenge the hold that Democrats have on black votes everywhere. And to play offense- because the best defense is an aggressive, in-your-face, 24/7 offense on the other guy’s turf.

There are two reasons I understand this strategy perhaps better than any white Republican in America.

First, I grew up in a majority-black town on the Bronx borderline, in Mt. Vernon, New York. I went to an all-black middle school and an all-black high school. I was in a tiny minority of whites at those schools. I was bullied by my black classmates and fought back…I won the respect of my black classmates…and I became best friends with my black classmates.

I was the only white kid in the school who made this breakthrough. I eventually played on the track and football teams with all black classmates.

Secondly, forty years ago, at the age of 21 years old, I ran for major political office in New York…as a Republican-conservative…in a district that was overwhelmingly black…and literally 100% Democrat.

I had zero chance to win. No Republican had ever even come close. It was considered the most unwinnable district for Republicans in the state of New York. My opponent was never defeated in that district- before, or since.

But I had a plan to “take the race to her” in black neighborhoods. To campaign in all-black “project buildings” where no Republican had ever set foot before. And to wear out the shoe leather until I knocked on the door of every black voter in my district.

Black residents were shocked in those poverty-stricken, graffiti-covered, high-crime “project buildings” when they answered the door and standing in front of them was a white 21-year-old Republican asking for their vote!

I didn’t win that race. But I gave the incumbent Democrat the race of her lifetime. I had the highest vote totals in all-black “project buildings”- than any Republican ever.

And I made it the closest race of my opponent’s entire career- before or after. She won twenty races and lost 0. But I came the closest of anyone ever.

Because I dared to campaign where no Republican had ever gone before.

She called me on the night of the election and said to me, “Please promise me you’ll never run against me again. I can’t take another race like that. I’ll have a heart attack.”

I understand black voters like perhaps no other white Republican in America. I understand what it takes to win their votes. And I know Trump can get the highest black vote totals of any Republican in history- and lock up the 2024 election.

Trump already starts with several major advantages:

*Black voters feel kinship with a man being persecuted by a weaponized government and an unjust justice system.

*Black voters have gotten nothing from the Democrat Party in all these years- other than broken promises and welfare checks. Look around at black inner-city neighborhoods. No Democrat has ever given them opportunity, mobility, or prosperity. What do black voters have to lose? It can’t get any worse.

*Now look at Trump’s first term. Trump gave black voters criminal justice reform…a prosperous economy…and the lowest black unemployment in history.

Biden and Democrats have handed the opportunity of a lifetime to Trump and the GOP.

Democrats have chosen illegal aliens over black citizens. Because of open borders, black communities, schools and healthcare are being overrun. Crime is exploding. Drugs are everywhere. Budgets are busted. There is no money left for black citizens. Even in Chicago black voters are threatening to vote Republican.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get blacks to vote Republican. Even if Michelle Obama replaces Joe Biden- as I’ve predicted for over a year. President Trump will still get historic levels of black male votes.

President Trump, this is your chance to win 2024 by a massive landslide. But you have to fight for it. Take my advice…

“If you campaign black, you will be back (in the White House).”

DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE: France’s Macron Floats the Idea of Sending Troops to Ukraine – European and NATO Leaders Shoot His Lunacy Down

By: Paul Serran — February 28th 2024 at 09:15

Globalist poster boy Emmanuel Macron, former Rothschild banker, is a failed President of France who goes on from crisis to crisis, never having a moment to govern with a sense of normalcy.

Just days ago, the political survivor Macron wanted to visit the Agricultural Fair in Paris, a traditional annual event – but the revolting French farmers broke through security and invaded the fair space, leading Macron to RUN surrounded by his security detail – see the photo below.

You would think that this beleaguered ‘leader’ would focus all his attention on solving the very dire problems facing his country, from unchecked mass migration to poverty, a stagnant economy, crippling ‘green’ policies killing French agriculture, etc.

But no – this is Emmanuel Macron, the man always looking for a ‘positive agenda’ moment, however inappropriate – or, in this case, catastrophic – this moment may turn out to be.

Macron hosted yet another meeting of the countries helping Ukraine’s war effort. It included representatives of the European Union’s 27 member countries, including 21 heads of state.

Most countries went there to discuss sending ammo or tanks – some more engaged perhaps had long-range missiles and planes in mind.

But not Macron, the man in search of the holophotes.

He made sure that European leaders ‘discussed the possibility’ of sending Western troops to Ukraine in a bilateral fashion.

What this means, probably, judging by the reaction of said countries, is that Macron floated the idea and everyone else discarded it vehemently – hence the ‘discussion.’

But Macron made sure to repeat the insane idea for everyone in the media to hear – and catapulted his idiocy out to the farthest recesses of the globe.

Business Insider reported:

French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters after the Monday meeting that the prospect of sending Western troops to Ukraine could not ‘be ruled out’.

Representatives at the meeting did not reach consensus about the question of putting troops on the ground in Ukraine, Macron said, though he added that ‘we cannot exclude anything’.”

While Macron got his moment in the spotlight by threatening to kickoff WW3, the other countries participating were pretty quick in waving away his dangerous and stupid idea.

  • ‘Britain is not planning a large-scale deployment of troops’, PM Rishi Sunak’s spokesman.
  • ‘Finland is not ready to send its military to Ukraine’, President Sauli Niinistö.
  • ‘There will be ground forces or soldiers on Ukrainian soil sent there by European states or NATO countries’, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
  • Macron proposed sending troops, but no one supported this idea’, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
  • ‘NATO countries disagree on the prospect of sending their troops to Ukraine and no such decisions have been made’, Polish President Andrzej Duda.
  • ‘Stockholm is not considering sending its military to Ukraine’, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
  • ‘There is no talk of sending Czech military personnel to Ukraine’, Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Petr Fiala.
  • The Italian Foreign Ministry: ‘we are not at war with Russia’.
  • ‘NATO has no plans to send combat units to Ukraine’, Secretary General Stoltenberg.

In France, the reaction to the Macron factoid was as bad as you’d imagine.

The Le Figaro’s poll ‘Do you support sending French troops to the ground in Ukraine?’ showed over 76% negative responses.

Macron’s folly caused innumerable reactions around the globe. Arnaud Bertrand, on X, wrote:

“As for conventional forces, the French army has only 80,000 ‘combat’ men (out of a total of 205,000), of which at best 30,000 would be deployable. Half of the equipment (tanks, helicopters) is currently not operational.

[…] Under these conditions, to gesture – because it is a political gesture – when one does not have the means makes no diplomatic sense. It is, on the contrary, sending a signal of weakness to the ‘adversary’ one seeks to impress.

[…] Thus, this is the third time we are faced with an erratic initiative from Emmanuel Macron, after his disclosure of parts of telephone conversations with V. Putin and his desire to invite himself, outside any rule, to the BRICS summit in 2023.

[…] That a nuclear power, with a veto right at the UN Security Council, can be represented by a president like Emmanuel Macron, with erratic and/or adventurous initiatives, should be a source of concern and anger for any self-respecting French person.”

Also, an ‘unnamed senior European defense official’ spilled the beans on Financial Times about a present reality:

“Everyone knows there are western special forces in Ukraine — they’ve just not acknowledged it officially.”

Russians reacted in an unfazed way.

Sputnik reported:

“Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow had taken notice of the French president’s remarks and was well aware of his position regarding the need to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, adding that some countries that participated in a meeting held in Paris on Ukraine held a quite ‘wise assessment of potential dangers’ of being involved in the conflict.”

CONFIRMED: Man Arrested in Connection With Toddler’s Murder is Illegal Immigrant – New Jersey Judge Previously Ordered Him to be Removed From US, But Sanctuary City Protected Him

By: Anthony Scott — February 28th 2024 at 09:30

The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday the Prince George’s County homicide unit arrested 25-year-old Nelson Granados-Trejo in connection with the murder of a toddler in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

In the police report, it was reported Nelson Granados-Trejo had “no fixed address” but did not give details if he was an illegal immigrant.

Now, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson has confirmed Nelson Granados-Trejo is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador.

Fox 5 D.C. reported that on Nov. 7, 2022, a Department of Justice immigration judge in New Jersey ordered Trejo-Granados to be removed from the United States.

After being ordered to be removed from the U.S., Trejo-Granados was arrested for theft four months later in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Upon hearing of his arrest, ICE lodged an immigration detainer on Trejo-Granados.

However, the Montgomery County Department of Corrections refused to honor the detainer.

In September of 2023, Montgomery County Police arrested Trejo-Granados for theft again; ICE lodged another detainer, which MCDC ignored.

Per Fox 5 DC:

A fifth suspect has been arrested in connection with the murder of 2-year-old Jeremy Poou Caceres.

The Prince George’s County Police Department announced Monday they’re now charging 25-year-old Nilson Trejo-Granados with first and second-degree murder.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations Baltimore spokesperson James Covington confirmed with FOX 5 that Trejo-Granados is an unlawfully present Salvadoran national.

On Nov. 7, 2022, a Department of Justice immigration judge in Newark, New Jersey ordered Trejo-Granados’ removal from the United States.

According to the ICE records, the Montgomery County Police Department arrested Trejo-Granados on March 21, 2023, and charged him with theft. While those charges remain pending, ICE lodged an Immigration Detainer on Trejo-Granados with the Montgomery County Detention Center on March 22, 2023; however, the agency says MCDC refused to honor the detainer and Trejo-Granados was released by MCDC on March 27, 2023.

Dementia Joe Biden Makes Unannounced Trip to Walter Reed for Physical Exam

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 28th 2024 at 09:45

President Biden revealed to reporters Wednesday that he is making an unannounced trip to Walter Reed Hospital for a physical exam.

As the Associated Press reported, Biden went on to claim that a “written summary” would be released later in the day.

Walter Reed Hospital, which serves as the standard medical center all U.S. Presidents, is located in Bethesda, Maryland. Biden has undergone yearly physical examinations since he began occupying the White House.

Biden’s poor health has been particularly scrutinized ever since Special Counsel Robert Hur released a damning evaluation in his report on Biden’s stolen classified documents investigation earlier this month. He described Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” after hours of questioning.

Biden showed further signs of dementia after lashing out at reporters during a wild press conference following the report’s release and calling Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi the “president of Mexico.”

However, the exam is highly unlikely to include a mental evaluation. The Gateway Pundit previously reported there would be no cognitive assessment test despite Biden’s obvious signs of mental decline.

White House Physician Kevin O’Connor claimed he would not advise Biden to undergo a neurological exam or cognitive test as part of his belated physical.

The White House is probably scared of the results, knowing they would doom Biden’s re-election bid for good.

Beyond his obvious mental limitations, Biden has had a variety of physical ailments. He had a colonoscopy in 2021, in which a 3-millimeter “benign-appearing polyp” was identified and removed. The report also acknowledged Joe Biden’s stiffened gait (which has worsened), persistent cough, and chronic throat-clearing.

In 1988, Biden had surgery to repair two brain aneurysms with one of them leaking.

An overwhelming number of Americans, even Democrats, have expressed deep worry over Biden’s health and whether he should attempt to seize another four years in office.

The Health Care Cyber Attack That is Still Disrupting Operations May Be a Test Run for a Bigger Event (VIDEO)

By: Grant Stinchfield — February 28th 2024 at 10:00


There are still many questions surrounding the cyber attack on United Health’s Change Healthcare. The company is responsible for processing medical requests from doctors around the country. The hack is limiting medical professionals from ordering lab tests and prescription drugs. Days after the initial hack was uncovered, the industry is still grappling with substantial disruptions that could cost lives.

There is little reporting on this attack. The lack of media coverage is by design.


There is debate among cyber investigators over who is responsible for the attack. Is it a nation-state like Russia or China, or is it the group that is claiming responsibility, the Black Cat ransomware gang? Either way, it is clear this is just a preview of what is to come. Could this be a test run to shut down our entire hospital system in America? My fear is, yes.

“So That’s a Wow!” – CNN Reacts After Joe Biden Loses to “Uncommitted” in Dearborn Michigan Democrat Primary (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hoft — February 28th 2024 at 10:15
Joe Biden loses to “Uncommitted” in Dearborn, Michigan Democrat primary race.

“So, that’s a WOW!” CNN’s John King reacted on Tuesday after Joe Biden lost to “uncommitted” in the Dearborn, Michigan primary election.

The Dearborn Democrats aren’t very fond of Old Joe.

John King:  This is what Joe Biden received. Again, forgive me. 1141 votes… Dean Phillips, 54 votes… And, “uncommitted”, let me make sure I get this right, 3703 votes.

So that’s a Wow! If you look at it this way, this is 23% and this is 75%. And so this is just the city of Dearborn, but that is where the biggest pocket of the Muslim American, the Arab American population, this is a place President Biden carried big time in 2020. This is key to his chances of defeating Donald Trump in Michigan again.

Via Johnny MAGA and Catturd2.

For the record, President Trump won more votes than all of the Democrat candidates (including “uncommitted”) combined last night in Michigan.

President Trump had 756,766 votes on Tuesday night.

And Joe Biden had 618,148 votes last night.

MOMENT OF TRUTH – Or More Lies? Hunter Biden Arrives at Capitol Hill for Closed Door Deposition on Family’s Multi-Year, Multi-Million Dollar Grift

By: Jim Hoft — February 28th 2024 at 10:30
Hunter Biden arrives for his closed door deposition before Congress on his family’s years of grifting foreign officials in pay for play scheme.

Hunter Biden arrived on Capitol Hill today for his closed door deposition before Congress in part of the Republican impeachment process against his father.

Hunter will testify today before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees. Republicans have investigated numerous bank statements that place President Biden’s second son and crack addict at the very center of their impeachment inquiry. Congress alleges Hunter and his father engineered an elaborate web of lucrative, overseas business ventures that leaned heavily on Joe Biden’s international influence. Joe Biden, his brothers, his son, and family members have benefited financially from those shady arrangements.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) alleges that just one Suspicious Activity Report (SARS) on the Biden family’s finances that she reviewed at the Treasury Department earlier this year involved “tens of millions of dollars and then some.”

The Biden family has done well for themselves selling access to Old Joe.

Professor Jonathan Turley on Wednesday described how serious Hunter’s testimony is today for the future of the Biden family enterprise.

Jonathan Turley: this is the moment of truth that a lot of people have been waiting for. This is not a place where you can easily spin if you are inaccurate. If you run truthful, you can end up with federal charges and a brand new statute of limitations running, and he has a really precarious road ahead. I don’t know what some of his answers will be. We expect that he’s going to fall back on the fact that he was an addict, that his memory is not great. But the House committee has money transfers and emails that clearly show influence peddling going on, and he’s going to have to answer some of those questions. I think at the outset, they’re likely to drill down on what we all pretty much know, that President Biden lied when he said that he did not know anything about his son’s dealings. Hunter Biden himself contradicted that earlier. And while I might try to spin it a bit, I think he’s probably going to have to contradict his father.

Hunter Biden will be behind closed doors for several hours today testifying before Congress.
Democrats are likely already working on their response to this trainwreck.

Now Obama Aides Fret Over ‘Frail’ and ‘Mumbly’ Joe Biden

By: Guest Contributor — February 28th 2024 at 10:45


This article originally appeared on WND.com

Guest by post by Bob Unruh 

Joe Biden’s verbal and mental blunders have been evident for anyone watching him to see for a number of years already.

Call on a member of Congress who’s dead? No problem. Relate conversations with foreign leaders, who were dead at the time? No problem. Recall train stories that could not have happened? No problem. Relate those stories again, and again. No problem.

Then a special counsel report explained he likely willfully and knowingly took classified documents to which he was not entitled and kept them in his home, a private office, even a garage. But the report recommended no charges because a jury would view him as an elderly man with “diminished” capabilities and be sympathetic.

Now it is former aides to Barack Obama, for whom Biden was vice president, who are expressing concern over the levels of “frail” and “mumbly” to which Biden has descended.

The New York Post reported Jon Favreau, the chief speechwriter for Obama when Biden was VP, said, “If you watch Joe Biden speak, oftentimes he sounds frail and he sounds more frail than he used to, even in 2019 and 2020.

“The voice sounds frail, and he shuffles more because of the arthritis in his back,” Favreau said.

And, he said, Biden appears “mumbly.”

Polls already are showing that some 8 in 10 Americans have concerned about Biden’s age, at 81, and his cognitive ability.

Favreau suggested Biden needs to disprove concerns over his gaffes and blunders by appearing on camera more often, and not to do that will make the impression even worse.

“When world events seem like they are overtaking him and he’s not out there enough forcefully, that’s what’s getting people concerned,” Favreau argued.

Podcast co-host Jon Lovett, another ex-Obama speechwriter, agreed and argued that the Biden campaign should get the president out in public to demonstrate his mental and physical abilities — even if they are concerned that he will make more gaffes.

The comments were made during an episode of “Pod Save America.”

Favreau explained, “I’m sure that going out there means more missteps … more gaffes that start circulating, but if you don’t view Biden being out there as a net positive, then the argument he shouldn’t be running is right.”

Former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett said Biden should be out in the public to demonstrate his abilities, and Dan Pfeiffer, another former adviser to Obama, said in separate interview with the Courier the issue of Biden’s competency is “very real.”

Pfeiffer said the issue of age should be Biden’s “first strategic priority” because there’s already a segment of the voters who have decided, based on what they’ve seen from him, he’s “too old for the job and can’t do it.”

Former Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said the Biden campaign should play up Biden’s “personality.”

He suggested Biden use his well-known temper to hit President Donald Trump, the likely GOP candidate, with “short phrases with Biden-esque” words.

The Washington Examiner noted the Obama employees who worked directly with Biden when he was VP say he appears to have deteriorated.

Some Democrats say his age gives Biden additional wisdom, and they’ve even used projection to try to turn concern toward Trump’s mental abilities.

Of course, when questions were raised during Trump’s presidency, he took, and aced, a cognitive test. Biden has refused to even consider taking one, telling a critic, “Why should I?”

Joe Biden’s America: Honduran Illegal Arrested For Raping 14-Year-Old Girl, Stabbing Man in the Face Multiple Times

By: Cristina Laila — February 28th 2024 at 11:00

Joe Biden’s America.

Another illegal alien was arrested for raping a child.

An illegal alien from Honduras was arrested in Louisiana for raping a 14-year-old girl and stabbing a man during a robbery.

19-year-old Angel Matias Castellanos-Orellana raped a minor teen at knifepoint on February 20 and stabbed a man multiple times in the face and neck on February 25, according to police.

According to Kenner police, Castellanos-Orellana was terrorizing the neighborhood for nearly one month.

WVUE reported:

A 19-year-old Honduran man has been arrested in Kenner following a series of violent crimes, according to police.

The Kenner Police Department says the investigation began on Tues., Feb. 20 when it was notified of a rape of a 14-year-old girl at knifepoint.

Angel Matias Castellanos-Orellana was identified as the suspect. Police say Castellanos-Orellana was in the United States illegally.

On Sun., Feb. 25, around 3:15 a.m., police responded to reports of a stabbing in the 2600 block of Phoenix Street.

Police say a man was getting out of his vehicle and approached by Castellanos-Orellana, demanding his property. During the robbery, police say Castellanos-Orellana stabbed the victim multiple times in his face and his back. The victim was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition.

Officers at the scene found Castellanos-Orellana covered in blood.

He was arrested and booked on one count each of armed robbery, aggravated battery, first degree rape, and aggravated assault. A Federal “ICE” detainer was issued for Castellanos-Orellana as well.

Chief Keith Conley says undocumented immigrants are difficult to identify due to the lack of documentation. Castellanos-Orellana reportedly used aliases in the past, including Elven Locket.

Innocent Americans are paying the price for Joe Biden’s open borders.

An illegal alien from Guatemala convicted of sexually assaulting a child under the age of 14 was arrested by ICE last week.

An illegal alien from Venezuela was arrested and charged for sexually assaulting a minor.

22-year-old Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student, was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal last week.

According to an affidavit unsealed, the barbaric savage who murdered Laken Riley “disfigured her skull.”

Sleep well, America.

HERE WE GO… Democrat Rep. Goldman Accuses GOP of ‘Working for Russia’ After Calling in Hunter Biden to Testify (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hoft — February 28th 2024 at 11:20
Rep. Dan Goldman spews the talking points to the press before Hunter’s testimony.

Hunter Biden arrived on Capitol Hill today for his closed door deposition before Congress in part of the Republican impeachment process against his father.

Hunter will testify today before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees. Republicans have investigated numerous bank statements that place President Biden’s second son and crack addict at the very center of their impeachment inquiry.

Democrats are already with their talking points.  Rep. Dan Goldman accused Republican leaders working for Russia before Hunter’s depo.

Dan Goldman: It is not simply there’s no connection to the president, which we’ve known all along and which was made clear again, but there is a very understandable, coherent business explanation for every single thing that they ask for. And now that all of this China stuff or Romania or Kazakhstan is clearly, clearly baseless and bogus, the only thing that the Republicans have left are these Burisma allegations, which we now know were completely made up by their source, who’s now been indicted because he was working with Russian intelligence to interfere in our election. And so let’s be very clear, because that is the only basis to move forward with an impeachment inquiry. If this impeachment inquiry continues, then chairman Comer and chairman Jordan are working with Russia to interfere in the November 2024 election on behalf of Vladimir Putin, in for the benefit of Donald Trump. That is what this has been reduced to now.

BREAKING: MCCONNELL TO STEP DOWN AS REPUBLICAN SENATE LEADER

By: Cristina Laila — February 28th 2024 at 11:40

Mitch McConnell, 82, will step down as the Senate Republican leader in November.

McConnell is expected to announce on Wednesday.

“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” he said in prepared remarks obtained by The Associated Press. “So I stand before you today … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.”

AP reported:

Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history who maintained his power in the face of dramatic convulsions in the Republican Party for almost two decades, will step down from that position in November.

McConnell, who turned 82 last week, was set to announce his decision Wednesday in the well of the Senate, a place where he looked in awe from its back benches in 1985 when he arrived and where he grew increasingly comfortable in the front row seat afforded the party leaders.

McConnell is stepping down amid multiple freezing episodes.

As TGP’s Kristinn Taylor reported, McConnell suffered a concussion and a broken bone after a fall last March. He was hospitalized and did a stint in rehab before returning to the Senate in mid-April.

McConnell was holding a press conference in Covington, Kentucky in September when he went into a catatonic state.

Mitch McConnell temporarily froze and was unable to speak. An aide came to his rescue and promptly ended the press conference.

McConnell became unresponsive and stared blankly during a Senate press conference.

BREAKING NEWS: Sen. Mitch McConnell appearing to have another scary episode in the media gaggle in Covington today. Aides had to step in to help him out and repeat questions. He was eventually lead away. We’ll have the full video on @WLWT pic.twitter.com/q9ex5MHxLV

— Hannah Thomas (@HannahPThomas) August 30, 2023

A Capitol physician suggested McConnell is experiencing small seizures due to dehydration.

“I have consulted with Leader McConnell and conferred with his neurology team. After evaluating yesterday’s incident, I have informed Leader McConnell that he is medically clear to continue with his schedule as planned. Occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration,” Capitol physician Brian Monahan said in a statement in September.

Senator Rand Paul was not buying the “dehydration” explanation.

“I think it’s an inadequate explanation to say this is dehydration… Well, I practiced medicine for 25 years and it doesn’t look like dehydration to me, it looks like a focal neurologic event,’” Rand Paul, a physician said to reporters last year.

U.S. Air Force Member Who Set Himself on Fire, Social Media Account Discovered, Was an Anarchist Who Advocated to Disarm the Military, Gossiped About Colonels, and Told Jesus to **** Off

By: Anthony Scott — February 28th 2024 at 12:00

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Air Force member Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire outside of the Israeli embassy on Sunday.

Bushnell recorded the act of self-immolation and, in the video, stated, “I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force, and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But, compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

He proceeded to light himself on fire and shout, “Free Palestine.”

Days after Bushnell took his life, The Intercept analyzed Bushnell’s social media profiles and was able to link the Reddit account acebush1 to Bushnell.

After analyzing Bushnell’s Reddit account, The Intercept concluded Bushnell “grew disillusioned with the U.S. military and his own role as a service member.”

Posts on his account revealed Bushnell was ideologically an anarchist who called for both the U.S. military and police to be disarmed.

In one comment on Reddit, a post from Bushnell read, “Common sense gun control should mean “disarming the police and military first.”

LOOK:

In a separate subreddit, Bushnell wrote that cults are a result of “whiteness,” and in another subreddit, he posted a photo with a graphic that read, “No God, No Boss, No Husband, No State.”

His disdain towards “colonizers” and “Democracy” was also present in his Reddit posts:

In a jarring post on the subreddit Anarchy4Everyone, Bushnell wrote, “Jesus can f*** off with his demagoguery.”

LOOK:

A month later, the 25-year-old Air Force service member commented on the AntifascistofReddit page and gave his take on the war in Gaza.

It appears Bushnell was ready to leave the Air Force because a social media post he wrote on r/Anarchism read, “on the way out.”

In a concerning post in the r/Air Force, the 25-year-old airman shared he wasn’t fond of being told what to do by leadership and shared how he was tired of saluting Colonels.

Per The Intercept:

In the months leading up to Bushnell’s act of self-immolation, several of acebush1’s posts showed how sharply their view of the military had shifted. On the r/Airforce subreddit, a user asked veterans whether, in hindsight, they would still choose to join the military. Acebush1 answered, “Absolutely not.”

“I have been complicit in the violent domination of the world,” they said, “and I will never get the blood off my hands.”

The Intercept analysis linked the acebush1 Reddit account to Bushnell by analyzing his social media activity. In a post on Facebook the same day as his self-immolation, Bushnell had posted a link to the video streaming platform Twitch with the username LillyAnarKitty. Using a Twitch username history tool that identifies a user’s prior account names, The Intercept found that the same Twitch User ID number used by LillyAnarKitty previously employed the handle acebush1.

A Reddit user with the same username — acebush1 — posted over a thousand times since 2014. The Reddit posts mention details that align closely with Bushnell’s life, including being in the Air Force, having a friend who was a conscientious objector, and studying computer science.

Another concerning post from Bushnell was his “OhNoAnyway” reaction to three U.S. Army reserves who were killed in a drone attack in Jordan.

It seems that Bushnell did not…cover himself in glory on Reddit.

His account seems mostly scrubbed of his posts now, but he definitely posted this mocking US Army reservists who were killed in a drone attack in Jordan. pic.twitter.com/SRfwebXZJ1

—  Dr. Waitman W. Beorn (@waitmanwbeorn.com ) (@waitmanb) February 27, 2024

Comments from the acebush1 account have since been removed from Reddit but the profile still remains.

Hunter Biden Opening Statement: “I Did Not Involve My Father in My Businesses” – Lashes Out at House Republicans

By: Cristina Laila — February 28th 2024 at 12:20

Hunter Biden on Wednesday arrived on Capitol Hill today for his closed-door deposition before Congress in part of the Republican impeachment process against Joe Biden.

Hunter will testify today before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees.

“I am here today to provide the Committees with the one uncontestable fact that should end the false premise of this inquiry: I did not involve my father in my business,” Hunter Biden testified Wednesday morning. “Not while I was a practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions domestic or international, not as a board member, and not as an artist. Never.”

“You read this fact in the many letters that have been sent to you over the last year as part of your so-called impeachment investigation. You heard this fact when I said it weeks ago, standing outside of this building. You heard this fact from a parade of other witnesses – former colleagues and business partners of mine, including my uncle – who have testified before you in similar proceedings. And now, today, you hear this fact directly from me,” he continued in his opening statement.

— Matt Viser (@mviser) February 28, 2024

Hunter Biden made a similar carefully crafted statement about his father in December as he gave an unprecedented press conference on Capitol Hill.

“My father was not financially involved in my business,” Hunter Biden said in December.

“Let me state as clearly as I can. My father was not financially involved in my business. Not as a practicing lawyer. Not as a board member of Burisma. Not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman. Not in my investments at home nor abroad and certainly not an artist,” Hunter said in remarks on Capitol Hill in December.

Hunter was careful to specifically say his father was never ‘financially’ involved in his business.

On Wednesday, he was careful to say he ‘didn’t involve’ his father in his business.

Joe Biden was heavily involved in his son Hunter’s overseas business.

Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s longtime friend and business associate, appeared before the House Oversight Committee over the summer to testify on the Biden Crime Family.

Here are some key takeaways from Devon Archer’s testimony per the House Oversight Committee:

  • When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden’s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by speakerphone over 20 times.
  • Devon Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma’s board was “the brand” and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden was “the brand” and that the 20 phone calls were to sell “the brand.”
  • Devon Archer admitted that “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it.” Because of the Bidens’ involvement, people would have been intimidated to mess with Burisma legally.
  • In December 2015, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, placed constant pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from D.C. regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption.
  • Hunter Biden, along with Zlochevsky and Pozharski, “called D.C.” to discuss the matter. Biden, Zlochevsky, and Pozharski stepped away to make the call. This raises concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
  • Joe Biden was dialed into a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and in China with Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR. Then-VP Biden also had coffee with Li in Beijing and even wrote a letter of recommendation for college for Li’s daughter.
  • Archer confirmed Joe Biden was referred to as “my guy” by Hunter Biden.
  • In 2014, then-VP Biden attended a business dinner with Hunter & his associates at Café Milano in D.C. Elena Baturina, a Russian oligarch who is the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, was an attendee. Notably, the Biden Admin’s public sanctions do not contain Baturina.

It should also be noted the Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky held 17 audio tapes, 15 with Hunter and 2 with Joe Biden, he kept as an insurance policy.

Per RNC Research, Joe Biden met with Hunter’s business associates over at least a dozen times.

Hunter Biden’s investment vehicle Owasco made DIRECT payments (screenshots below) to Joe Biden, according to newly obtained bank records.

Millions of dollars from China were funneled to Hunter Biden’s investment vehicle Owasco.

In one instance, Hunter and Joe Biden threatened a Chinese business associate – pay up or else!

“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my directions. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

A few weeks later Hunter Biden received a $5 million wire from a Chinese firm.

On August 8, 2017, $5 million was wired from a CEFC-affiliated investment vehicle (Northern International) to the bank account for Hudson West III, which spent the next year transferring $4,790,375 million directly to Hunter Biden’s firm, Owasco.

NBC Hacks Say Nathan Wade Divorce Attorney was “Clearly an Adverse Witness” in Fani Willis Disqualification Hearing – Greg Bluestein from Atlanta Journal-Constitution Says Disqualification Will be a “DEATH SENTENCE for This Case” (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — February 28th 2024 at 12:40
Terrence Bradley drips in sweat on the witness stand – Feb. 27

NBC hacks were left reeling yesterday during the testimony of Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer, Terrence Bradley, calling him an adverse witness as he was grilled by attorneys for Trump and his co-defendants in the Georgia election interference RICO indictment.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution political writer and NBC guest Craig Gillen said that a Fani Willis disqualification would be a “death sentence for this case” as Bradley was losing his mind on the witness stand.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Earlier this month, Fani Willis and Nathan Wade were subpoenaed to testify at an evidentiary hearing thanks to a lawsuit filed by Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman.

Judge Scott McAfee previously said Fani Willis may be disqualified from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Bradley was back on the stand on Tuesday after previously refusing to answer questions and hiding behind attorney-client privilege. However, Judge Scott McAfee ruled he was not protected by attorney-client privilege and ordered him to testify Tuesday morning.

He was sweating bullets on the witness stand as he now claims he cannot recall any information about Fani Willis and Nathan Wade’s relationship before Wade was appointed as a special prosecutor to the lead case.

Watch a replay of Bradley’s full testimony earlier here.

As The Gateway Pundit reported after the February 15 hearing on the Motion to Disqualify Willis, Nathan Wade, and the DA’s office, MSNBC had already admitted, “It’s game over for her.” Tuesday’s hearing was just another cherry on top!

“It’s GAME OVER for Her” – Even Far-Left MSNBC Admits “Fani Willis Lied to The Court” in Trump Election Interference Case — Trump Responds, “ANOTHER SCAM COORDINATED WITH THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE”

Earlier this month, it was already evident that Fani Willis lied to the court after Robin Yearti, who worked in Fani Willis’s office, testified that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade started their relationship in 2019 – before Willis assigned Nathan Wade as lead prosecutor in the RICO lawfare case against President Trump, meaning Fani Willis likely committed perjury by saying there was no romantic relationship between the two.

Yearti’s testimony is further corroborated by text messages that Bradley previously sent to Michael Roman’s attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, admitting that the relationship “absolutely” started before Willis’s office hired Wade and “they will deny it,” though he refused to answer questions about these messages Tuesday. Merchant further revealed that Bradley told her that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade were having sex in Willis’s private law office before she was even elected District Attorney and that Wade had a garage door opener to Fani Willis’s home.

Bradley later told co-defendant Robert Cheeley’s attorney, Richard Rice, that he doesn’t know if he would lie about Nathan Wade, a long-time friend of over ten years, when asked about his text messages exposing Wade to Ashleigh Merchant.

“At the time of her election as Fulton County District Attorney, Willis had worked as a Managing Attorney for the Law Office of Fani Willis, LLC since 2018,” according to Ballotpedia. Willis was then elected DA in 2020 — long before Nathan Wade was improperly hired to prosecute Trump.

News also broke last week that the attorneys for Trump and Roman geo-tracked Nathan Wade and found that Wade likely made at least 35 visits to Fani’s home BEFORE he was appointed to lead the case. They also discovered that the two exchanged over 2,000 voice calls and almost 12,000 text messages in the 11 months of January to November 2021 before Nathan Wade was hired.

However, Wade and Willis both testified under oath earlier this month that they started a relationship AFTER he was appointed to lead the Trump election interference case.

Early in Terrence Bradley’s testimony yesterday, NBC legal analyst Catherine Christian reacted to his refusal to answer questions, calling him “clearly an adverse witness” and saying, “He is there not wanting to answer questions, being a little evasive… I call it the ‘I don’t recall,’ usually you’ll hear when you’re doing a cross-examination of a witness that it not friendly.” While Christian tried to smear the phenomenal job by Ashleigh Merchant in showing that Bradley was uncooperative and misrepresenting his ability to remember details of Wade’s relationship with Willis, she continued, “It’s like pulling teeth to get him to answer her questions, and the judge rightly said he is an adverse witness.”

There were also questions yesterday as to why Terrence Bradley, in an email exchange with Ashleigh Merchant, verified the accuracy of the information in her Motion to Disqualify Fani Willis, which seeks to have the RICO charge dismissed as well as disqualify Willis over her romantic relationship with Wade. The filing claims Nathan Wade paid for luxury vacations he took with Fani Willis to Napa Valley and a cruise in the Caribbean – and used money from Fulton County to pay for their out-of-town escapades. It also states that Nathan Wade’s relationship with Fani Willis started before she hired Wade as a special prosecutor to go after Trump. When Merchant asked Bradley to verify the accuracy of a draft of her Motion before she filed it and if anything needed to be changed, Bradley simply replied to her email, “Looks good.”

Bradley told David Shafer’s attorney, Craig Gillen, that he knew Merchant wanted to file her Motion to Disqualify and reviewed the Motion with all of the allegations. However, Bradley contended several times throughout the hearing that he was referring only to a discrepancy in the amount of money he received for previous legal services when he said, “Looks good,” despite saying this after being asked if anything else in the Motion looked inaccurate.

About two hours after the hearing started, NBC reacted to Bradley’s questioning by Donald Trump attorney Steve Sadow over why he would speculate about Nathan Wade’s relationship with Fani Willis, as he claimed he did in text messages to Ashleigh Merchant.

Catherine Christian notes that Bradley was “refusing to say if he’s ever lied about friends before” and “being very, in my opinion, evasive.” She added, “The text messages speak for themself.”

Atlanta Journal-Constitution political reporter and NBC contributor Greg Bluestein added, “If Fani Willis is disqualified or if her office is disqualified, we at the AJC have compared it to a death sentence for this case. That’s because it would then hand the case off to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Counsel of Georgia.” He continued, claiming that there are “personal reasons” that nobody will want to take the case up after Willis is disqualified, citing bogus fear from liberal prosecutors over alleged threats or harassment and claiming that Fani Willis has been a victim of racism.

What a joke! The real reason nobody wants to politically target Trump is more likely that none of these corrupt prosecutors want to be brought down and exposed for wrongdoing, as Fani Willis has been.

Catherine Christian later chimed in again, saying that Bradley’s “‘I don’t recalls’ are the hallmark of someone who doesn’t want to answer the questions that are asked.”  She then called Willis’s improper relationship and improper hiring of Nathan Wade to persecute Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants “bad judgment in an unforth era,” while acknowledging that Willis and Wade likely committed perjury and violated rules of professional conduct.

Pope Francis Taken to Hospital Yet Again for Tests – Frail Pontiff Still Suffering From ‘Mild Flu’

By: Paul Serran — February 28th 2024 at 13:00

Globalist Pope Francis is an 87-year old man with a very fragile health.

In the last years the health scares and illnesses have multiplied – and of course, once he decided to tell the world that he has chosen his place of burial, we can’t help but follow his every ailment closely.

As fo now, Francis has a ‘mild flue’ – but is that really it?

Today (28) the Pope visited yet again Rome’s Gemelli hospital for exams, following his general audience at the Vatican. It has been reported that among the procedures, he had a CT scan.

ABC News reported:

“‘After the general audience Pope Francis went to the Gemelli Isola Tiberina Hospital for some diagnostic tests’, a Vatican official said. ‘Afterwards, he returned to the Vatican’.

During his weekly appearance earlier in the day, Francis said he ‘still had a bit of a cold’. He asked one of his bishops to do a reading.”

Francis had to be admitted to the hospital several times last year, from a bronchitis in March to an intestinal surgery in early June.

“Francis is scheduled on Saturday, March 2, to meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, followed on Sunday by an appearance at a noontime prayer, according to the Vatican.”

Telling worshippers at his weekly audience that he had not yet recovered from the symptoms of flu, The Pope had someone else would read his catechesis on envy and vainglory, two of the seven deadly sins.

He spoke at the end of the audience to greet some of the faithful and issue calls for peace.

The Guardian reported:

“Monsignor Filippo Ciampanelli, one of his aides, read the catechesis during the audience as he had done on previous occasions when the pope was feeling unwell.

[…] He has often alluded to resigning if bad health prevents him from doing his job. In December he revealed that he had chosen his burial place – the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in the Esquilino neighbourhood of Rome – breaking with the longstanding tradition of popes being buried in the grottos beneath St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.”

O’Keefe Media Group Confronts Dirty Judge Arthur Engoron Who Colluded With Letitia James to Take Trump Down – Footage to Drop at 4 PM ET!

By: Jordan Conradson — February 28th 2024 at 13:20

James O’Keefe has confronted the crooked Judge Arthur Engoron in what appears to be a New York gym recently.

O’Keefe released the following teaser yesterday, urging followers to tune into his weekly Twitter space titled “On The Inside.”

pic.twitter.com/NGXJvsrS9X

— James O’Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) February 28, 2024

far left Judge Arthur Engoron fleeced $355 million from President Trump for taking out loans in New York State and paying them back on time and with interest. The charges were brought against Trump by crazed New York State Attorney General Letitia James. There were no victims in the so-called crime. The banks did their due diligence before they loaned Donald Trump the money and testified they would gladly do it again.

The non-jury Soviet-style show trial played out in court for eleven weeks. Judge Engoron delayed the verdict to mid-February after he demanded information about possible perjury by Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg at the eleventh hour.

Judge Engoron called Trump’s loan agreements a crime and ruled that President Donald Trump owed the state $355 million.

Billionaire investor and Shark Tank personality Kevin O’Leary recently chimed in on this ruling in an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit, calling it “an attack on the 11th sector of the S&P 500 and an attack on every entrepreneur in America,” adding, “That’s 100% what it is; It’s 100% Wrong.

But that’s not all. As Volokh Conspiracy reported Engoron also put a Clinton-appointed judge in control of Trump business empire in New York State:

Judge Engoron also appointed retired U.S. District Judge Barbara Jones to continue in her role as an “independent monitor” of the Trump business empire but expanded her authority to review financial disclosures before they are submitted to third parties. Judge Jones can hire an independent director of compliance, and she has the authority to compel Trump to sell some or even all of his businesses down the road. This is all punishment for Trump allegedly committing fraud by falsely in inflating and deflating the value of his real estate assets to pay lower state taxes and to receive more favorable loans from banks.

This is the definition of tyranny. New York state just stole President Trump’s company from him because they don’t like his politics.

Judge Arthur Engoron, a committed Democrat, has ruled repeatedly against Trump in the three years he’s been presiding over James’ lawsuit. According to the AP he’s forced Trump to sit for a deposition, held him in contempt and fined him $110,000.

According to reports, Judge Engoron has been married three times and has four children.

But Arthur Engoron is no boy scout. He’s just a weirdo and a seemingly sexually deviant old man.

Recently Engeron came under scrutiny for posting half-naked photos of himself on an alumni newsletter he oversees.

The peculiar “BonusTorsoPhoto” showcased a malnourished torso, presumed to be his own, and left many questioning the appropriateness of such content in a school alumni newsletter.

Source: Wheatley Alumni Association Newsletter

The newsletter presented a before-and-after pictorial of the same torso, ostensibly to display physical improvements over time. These images, intended to flaunt muscle gains, instead cast a shadow of doubt over the judge’s judgment.

Apparently, O’Keefe Media Group found the old gym rat in his natural habitat.

The Gateway Pundit also reported last week that the creepy pervert judge was caught by a defense attorney banging the secretary of opposing counsel during a previous case – a complete ethics violation.

Judge Engoron Accused of Banging Secretary of Opposing Counsel in Previous Case

This should be exciting.

Trump to Post $100 Million Bond, Ask to Pause Enforcement of $464 Million Judgment as Letitia James Taunts with Daily Calculator

By: Cristina Laila — February 28th 2024 at 13:40

President Trump will post a $100 million bond and ask for a stay of the $464 million judgment in Letitia James Soviet-style NYC fraud trial.

“The exorbitant and punitive amount of the Judgment coupled with an unlawful and unconstitutional blanket prohibition on lending transactions would make it impossible to secure and post a complete bond,” Trump’s defense lawyers wrote in the filing. “Appellants nonetheless plan to secure and post a bond in the amount of $100 million.”

ABC News reported:

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are seeking to pause the enforcement of the penalties in his civil fraud trial, telling the court that he intends to post a bond of only $100 million — well short of the $464 million judgment ordered by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron.

Engoron’s judgment, issued earlier this month, ordered Trump to pay a $355 million fine, plus interest, and blocked him from running any New York-based company, including his own, for three years.

In a court filing Wednesday, Trump’s lawyers argued that the penalties are “unprecedented and punitive.”

Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James sought $370 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she also sought to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. She accused Trump of inflating his assets and defrauding lenders and insurance companies.

Earlier this month Judge Engoron ordered Trump to pay more than a $355 million fine and barred Trump “from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years.”

Engoron claimed Trump and each of the defendants “participated in aiding and abetting the conspiracy to commit insurance fraud by their individual acts in falsifying business records and valuations, causing materially fraudulent SFCs to be intentionally submitted to insurance companies.”

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were also ordered to pay millions of dollars in fines.

Eric Trump and Don Jr. were ordered to pay $4,013,024 each.

“There is also sufficient evidence that Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump intentionally falsified business records. They served as attorneys-in-fact for Donald Trump and were under a heightened duty of prudence,” Engoron wrote.

Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg was ordered to pay $1 million.

The $355 million judgment PLUS daily interest has swelled to $464 million.

Letitia James has been taunting Trump by posting a daily calculator of compounding interest on the judgment.

Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked the appeals court to determine whether Judge Engoron abused his power or “acted in excess” of his jurisdiction, according to AP.

Former GOP Congressman Peter King Calls On Republican Senate Nominee Mike Sapraicone to Step Down After It Is Revealed He Donated to Letitia James – GP’s CARA CASTRONUOVA IS NEXT IN LINE AND NEEDS YOUR HELP!

By: Jim Hoft — February 28th 2024 at 14:05

Gateway Pundit readers, Cara Castronuova need your help!

As many of you may have read here on The Gateway Pundit, last week, Cara went to the New York State Republican Convention to fight for their support to gain the party’s nomination to take on Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand and knock her out of the swamp.

The New York State GOP Party decided to go with Mike Sapraicone as the party pick, and Cara came in second place.

BUT…it was revealed only minutes after the vote that Sapraicone had donated to Letitia James in her 2022 campaign to GET PRESIDENT TRUMP.

In a dramatic turn of events today, former Republican Congressman Peter King of Nassau County asked Mike Sapraicone to step down and withdraw from the New York State race for Senate today on WABC Radio because of his “indefensible” donation to the wicked Leticia James. See the INSANE video here:

Cara wanted us to call out our amazing readers to help her following these new developments:

“Gateway Pundit readers, it has been one of the greatest honors of my lifetime to write for you. For almost three years now, I have told you the stories of the January 6th political prisoners and helped The Gateway Pundit raise millions of dollars for January 6th prisoner defense funds. Through my investigative journalism, I have exposed the Deep State and the three letter agencies. I have fearlessly faced off with the Swamp – LITERALLY – at the D.C. Courthouses. I have fought for President Donald Trump and for his allies, who have been the target of rampant political persecution. I have fought with no rest for those who lost their jobs for not taking the Covid vaccine; I have championed for those arrested here in New York for not having the unconstitutional vaccine passport. I have reported on and exposed the illegal migrant crisis here in New York. As a reporter, I have fearlessly walked through the streets ALONE with the mission of giving a voice to the voiceless who feel betrayed by their government.”

*Please call the New York State Chairman Ed Cox and respectfully ask when Mike Sapraicone steps down (it is only a matter of time) that the NYS GOP back Cara Castronuova as the Republican nominee for United States Senate. If you are a New Yorker, please respectfully contact your New York State Chairperson and ask that they support Cara Castronuova should Sapraicone step down.

If you live inside or outside New York State, you can call Albany Headquarters at (518) 462-2601 and ask NYS Chairman Ed Cox to back Trump Supporter Cara Castronuova. You can also write them HERE, but time is of the essence so a call is worth your time!

Let Cara fight for President Trump here in New York as she campaigns tirelessly throughout this state, championing America First policies and principles.

If you are a New Yorker, please respectfully contact your New York State Chairperson and ask that they support Cara Castronuova should Sapraicone step down.

Here are some excerpts from Peter King’s interview with Sid Rosenberg:

Former Congressman Peter King: “I can tell that finding out that he (GOP nominee Mike Sapraicone) donated to Tish James, I don’t see how Nassau County Republicans or others around the state can continue to support him. I think that the right thing for him to do would be to withdraw from the race and if he doesn’t I would ask President Trump to ask him to withdraw. The real tipping point is Tish James, who is launching a vendetta against President Trump and to think that anyone who Republican can support that… you could say that he donated to Cuomo (former Democrat Governor of New York)- I wouldn’t do it- but the one that is indefensible is Tish James.”

King continued:

“It is going to go nowhere. We cannot be spending time supporting someone who actually supported the attorney general of New York (Leticia James) who to me launched and completely unbelievable illegal investigation into President Trump. Mike Sapraicone, for your own good, and the good of the party and the good of New York and for the good of the Presidential race and the Congressional races here in New York it is time to take your candidacy elsewhere.”

Please call the New York State Republican Party and ask that they support Cara Castronuova to be the voice of We The People.

Support Cara’s race FOR WE THE PEOPLE HERE.

**If you live inside or outside New York State, you can call Albany Headquarters at (518) 462-2601 and ask NYS Chairman Ed Cox to back Cara Castronuova. You can also write them HERE, but time is of the essence so a call is worth your time!

And remember,

In the end, GOD WINS.

“You’re a Liar…You Have Blood on Your Hands!” – Athens, Georgia Residents Rip Apart Woke Mayor After He Lies About Role in Illegal Alien Murderer of Beloved College Student (VIDEO)

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 28th 2024 at 14:20
Credit: Fox News Channel screenshot

The Gateway Pundit reported last week that a talented college student named Laken Riley was allegedly brutally murdered in Athens, Georgia, by a criminal illegal alien while going on a campus jog. José Antonio Ibarra, the migrant in question, entered America illegally from Venezuela thanks to Joe Biden.

It also turns out that city leadership contributed in part to the crime because Athens is a sanctuary city that refuses to cooperate with federal immigration law. But Athens mayor Kelly Girtz attempted to gaslight members of the audience during a press conference Wednesday and even took a vile shot at President Trump.

He flat-out lied and claimed that Athens was not a sanctuary city. But residents in the press conference caught on quickly and interrupted him.

They tore Girtz apart over his lie and rightfully blamed him for contributing to Riley’s death. They then demanded his resignation as he tried to lie again.

VIDEO:

— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) February 28, 2024

Girtz: I’ve received many calls, many emails, and many queries from the press in recent days about some notion of a sanctuary city. I want to lay this to rest today: the term sanctuary city does not have a sole legal or procedural definition…so that term means different things to different people.

Audience members: Liar! Liar! Liar!

Girtz: You’re here to listen.

Man: You’re a liar! You’re the one who’s guilty! You have blood on your hands!

Girtz: Sanctuary cities are things disallowed by Georgia law.

Man: We know what a sanctuary city is!

Girtz: We (Athens) do not correspond to this definition under state law…

Audience member: You need to resign! Resign now! You allowed this to happen!

Landmark Victory for Texas AG Ken Paxton as Court Strikes Down Biden’s $1.7 Trillion Spending Bill – Unconstitutional

By: Jim Hᴏft — February 28th 2024 at 14:40

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has secured a victory against the Biden regime as a federal judge deemed the $1.7 trillion spending bill passed by the Democrats at the end of 2022 unconstitutional.

This ruling, delivered on Tuesday by Judge Wesley Hendrix of the Lubbock Division of the Northern District of Texas, opens the possibility of blocking Biden’s allocation of billions in taxpayer funds through subsequent litigation.

The omnibus bill, signed by Joe Biden in 2022 amid a family vacation in St. Croix and flown to the location to meet a December 30 deadline, earmarked 45 billion for Ukraine among other contentious allocations.

These included the passage of the Electoral Count Act, 2.6 billion towards January 6 investigations, nearly 600 million for the Environmental Protection Agency, and 11 million targeting gun owners. Notably, the bill lacked funding for border security, a critical point of contention for many Americans and Republicans.

AG Paxton filed a lawsuit early in 2023 challenging the implementation of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, bringing into question the constitutionality of the House’s quorum during its passage. The bill was passed with less than half of U.S. Con­gress phys­i­cal­ly present.

“Texas filed this case in mid-February 2023 challenging parts of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023–a $1.7 trillion appropriations bill passed by Congress and signed by President Biden in December 2022. Texas claims to be injured by two unrelated provisions of the Act: (1) a $20 million allocation to DHS’s “Alternatives to Detention” case management pilot program, which uses less expensive and more humane tools like GPS to monitor noncitizens who would otherwise be unnecessarily detained; and (2) the “Pregnant Workers Fairness Act,” which newly requires covered employers–defined to include states as employers–to provide certain accommodations for pregnant employees. Although Texas seeks only to block these two provisions, its legal claim is that the Act is invalid because the House of Representatives allegedly did not have a quorum when it passed the Act (some members voted by proxy, which Texas argues was invalid),” Litigation Tracker wrote.

The suit highlighted that the House permitted proxy voting, a move that Paxton argued contradicts over two centuries of legislative practice under the Constitution’s Quorum Clause.

According to the press release at the time:

Attorney General Paxton is suing President Biden and members of his Administration over the unlawful signing and implementation of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, which was the latest omnibus spending bill.

The U.S. Constitution requires that a quorum of members of the U.S. House of Representatives be present for the lower chamber of Congress to conduct business. When the House passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 in December 2022, fewer than half of its members were present and more than half voted by proxy.

The U.S. Constitution empowers a quorum-less House only to “adjourn from day to day” or “compel the attendance of absent members.” Because “attendance” means physical presence, the U.S. Constitution does not allow voting by proxy to constitute a quorum. And because the omnibus spending bill wasn’t passed when a quorum of the House was present, it was never lawfully enacted, is unconstitutional, and the federal government should be enjoined from implementing it.

Judge Hendrix’s 120-page opinion meticulously dismantled the Justice Department’s defense of the spending bill, addressing the arguments one by one. In particular, he dismissed the notion that federal courts lack jurisdiction to scrutinize the legislative process, citing Supreme Court precedent that requires resolving any challenges to a quorum rule before applying the enrolled bill doctrine.

Hendrix wrote in his ruling:

“For over 235 years, Congress understood the Constitution’s Quorum Clause to require a majority of members of the House or Senate to be physically present to constitute the necessary quorum to pass legislation. This rule prevents a minority of members from passing legislation that affects the entire nation. But despite the Constitution’s text and centuries of consistent practice, the House in 2020 created a rule that permitted non-present members to be included in the quorum count and vote by proxy. Pursuant to that novel rule, the House passed a new law included within the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, and that particular provision affects Texas. Like many constitutional challenges, Texas asserts that this provision is unenforceable against it because Congress violated the Constitution in passing the law.

[…]

And because the House only had a quorum due to this unconstitutional provision of its proxy rule, the House violated the Quorum Clause when it passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. Finally, the Court finds that Texas has carried its burden to show its entitlement to a permanent injunction of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. In light of these conclusions, the Court enjoins the defendants from enforcing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act against the State of Texas.”

You can read the full ruling here.

“Congress acted egregiously by passing the largest spending bill in U.S. history with fewer than half the members of the House bothering to do their jobs, show up, and vote in person,” said Attorney General Paxton.

“Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi abused proxy voting under the pretext of COVID-19 to pass this law, then Biden signed it, knowing they violated the Constitution. This was a stunning violation of the rule of law. I am relieved the Court upheld the Constitution.”

The Texas Public Policy Foundation served as co-counsel. “This meticulous, 120-page opinion was written after a full trial on the merits,” said TPPF senior attorney Matt Miller. “The Court correctly concluded that the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 violated the Quorum Clause of the U.S. Constitution because a majority of House members was not physically present when the $1.7 trillion spending bill was passed. Proxy voting is unconstitutional.”

Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) issued the following statement in response to Judge James Hendrix’s ruling:

Article I of the Constitution has always made it clear that House and Senate members be physically present when conducting certain legislative business. For our constitutional system to work, it must be followed.

During passage of Pelosi’s $1.7 trillion lame duck FY 2023 omnibus in December 2022, I noted a physical quorum was not present. Indeed, a majority of Members – 226 – elected to vote by proxy on the bill’s final passage.

While this ruling’s reach will not be immediate, it is a critically important first step in forming judicial precedent against unconstitutional proxy voting. Thank you to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Texas Public Policy Foundation for leading this effort in court. And thank you to the Mountain States Legal Foundation for their work on the amicus brief we led in the case. I also want to thank former Speaker Kevin McCarthy for working with me to challenge the constitutionality of proxy voting which the Supreme Court did not take up, but represented the right legal and philosophical position — a position underscored by yesterday’s judgment.

Deep Discounts on Long-Term Storage Steaks as More Americans Wake Up to “The Plan”

By: Promoted Post — February 28th 2024 at 15:00

(Note: Thank you for supporting American businesses like the one presenting a sponsored message below and Gateway Pundit benefits from any purchase made through the links below. Thank you for your support!)

The ongoing war against America’s food supply is being waged mostly from one side. Corporate media ignores those of us warning against the machinations of the powers-that-be who are actively and aggressively gunning for complete control over what we eat. When they do mention insect proteins and lab-grown “meat,” they do so as propaganda arms for those who want to control us.

“More people are waking up,” said Jason Nelson, co-founder of Prepper All-Naturals. “They’re asking questions that they never even considered asking just a couple of years ago. This is a good thing. I just hope it’s not too late.”

Nelson and his partners launched Prepper All-Naturals in 2022 in anticipation of exactly what we’re seeing today. Food prices are going up, as everyone now realizes. But there are less-known events happening daily as the walls go up around the food supply chain. Major food suppliers in the United States are pushing for insect protein as a replacement for standard meat. Legal measures are being taken against farmers and ranchers who dare to keep their products natural. Plutocrats like Bill Gates are heavily promoting unnatural replacements for food staples.

As farmers across Europe protest for their livelihood, Bill Gates is promoting a company called Savor, in which he’s investing.

Savor is working to replace animal-based butter with synthetic butter. In a recent ad, Gates said:

“Animal fat is the secret ingredient that gives… pic.twitter.com/v0uIMnl13A

— Ben Swann (@BenSwann_) February 27, 2024

Henry Kissinger said, “Who controls the food supply can control the people.”

When the actions by the powers-that-be are seen individually, they often seem innocuous enough. But seen as a whole, as Nelson is forced to do on a daily basis, a very nefarious picture is painted that is downright scary for those who are not firmly secure with their personal food chain. It’s what Nelson simple calls, “The Plan.”

“When the time is right and they have their public-private partnerships fully established with Big Ag, Big Pharma, and Big Beef, they will be in position to provide the ‘solution’ to the problem they are manufacturing,” Nelson said. “The combination of climate change, pseudo-healthy living, and economic strife will be the predicate from which they will become the primary distributors of food to Americans.”

Only those who have built up their own personal food supply will be able to hold out, Nelson noted. This is one of the reasons the company has launched their biggest sale of the year. For a limited time, they are offering 25% off all purchases with promo code “veterans25” at Prepper All-Naturals.

Click here to see all that Prepper All-Naturals has to offer.

“We wanted to do three things,” he said. “First, we are in the middle of a rebrand and we have thousands of the original bags still in inventory. Rather than throw them away, I’d rather fill them with beef and ship them out.

“Second, we are going to be donating 10% of our profits to a veterans charity. It makes sense to ramp up sales in the short term so we can make the biggest impact. As a combat disable veteran, this part is very important to me.

“Third, we know the time is short for Americans to stockpile before beef prices skyrocket. This is why we specialize in real cuts of beef like Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin instead of the ‘beef crumbles’ or ‘beef chunks’ that other survival food companies offer.”

The writing is on the wall. “The Plan” is underway and the vast majority of Americans are going to be poorly positioned when it accelerates. Those who have moved away from cities and who are producing their own food or cooperating with locals will be best positioned, but even the best-prepared should be stockpiling beef that has a 25-year shelf life like the products at Prepper All-Naturals. And for those who are not able to abundantly produce their own food supply, it’s absolutely essential to have plenty of beef in inventory if they don’t want to eat bugs or lab-grown “meat.”

Newsom Exempts Panera Bread From California’s New $20 Minimum Wage Law – Their CEO Donates to His Political Campaigns

By: Cristina Laila — February 28th 2024 at 15:20

Just brazen corruption.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) carved out an exemption for Panera Bread from the state’s new insane $20 minimum wage law because its billionaire CEO Greg Flynn donates to his political campaigns.

In September California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed a law raising the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour.

“Eighty percent of the workforce, these fast food places – 80 percent of people of color, two thirds…are women, the majority are breadwinners and we have the opportunity to reward that contribution, reward that sacrifice and stabilize an industry in turn. What a remarkable moment,” Newsom said in September during the bill signing.

According to Bloomberg, Newsom pushed for Panera Bread to be exempt from the new minimum wage law. Flynn, a billionaire restaurant franchisee, is a Newsom donor and was involved in business dealings with the California Governor.

Newsom told reporters of the exemption that it’s “part of the sausage-making” of politics.

Greg Flynn previously criticized the minimum wage bill dubbed the FAST Act. He said it would destroy the franchising in California – and next thing you know his restaurants are exempt.

How did Panera escape the Democrats’ new minimum wage bill?

Panera is given an exemption because it ‘bakes bread and sells it as a stand-alone item.’

Bloomberg reported:

Billionaire Greg Flynn, who made his fortune running one of the world’s largest restaurant franchise operations, is getting a new boost from sourdough loaves and brioche buns.

That’s because a California law that’s about to raise the state minimum wage at fast-food spots to $20 an hour from $16 offers an unusual exemption for chains that bake bread and sell it as a standalone item.

Governor Gavin Newsom pushed for that break, according to people familiar with the matter. Among the main beneficiaries is Flynn, a longtime Newsom donor whose California holdings include two dozen Panera Bread locations.

The specificity of the exemption has puzzled observers for months, especially after the governor told reporters last year that it came about as “part of the sausage-making” of politics. In response to detailed questions, Newsom’s office said the wage law was the “result of countless hours of negotiations with dozens of stakeholders over two years” — and will make a real difference for hundreds of thousands of Californians.

Flynn, who has been involved in business dealings with Newsom in addition to contributing to the governor’s political campaigns, said in a brief conversation that he didn’t play a role in crafting the bread exemption. He didn’t respond to requests for comment about his connections to Newsom.

Pizza Hut wasn’t so lucky.

In December two major Pizza Hut operators in California announced they would be laying off all of their delivery drivers thanks to a new law that raises the minimum wage to $20 per hour for fast food employees.

Newsom is once again facing a recall effort, the second in three years, as a conservative group initiates a new campaign to oust him from office.

BREAKING: O’Keefe Media Group Confronts Total Creep New York Judge Arthur Engoron After Sources Tell Him Engoron Frequently Goes to Gym and is “Creeping Girls Out” – Engoron Wears Revealing Sweatpants and No Underwear? (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — February 28th 2024 at 15:40

James O’Keefe on Wednesday released footage from an encounter with creepy New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who recently hit President Donald Trump with a massive $355 million judgment for his honest business practices and job creation in the state of New York.

O’Keefe received tips from others who had seen Engoron at the Equinox Gym in Long Island and decided to follow up.

One source sent him a video of Engoron checking a woman out and appearing to flirt with her. The message says he’s often “creeping girls out” and “does this every visit.” In the video below, one woman is seen putting her hand up to gesture “back off.” 

Engoron was in the gym wearing a creepy muscle shirt and revealing loose sweatpants. He should probably put on some underwear…

Arthur Engoron’s crotch visible in sweatpants

far left Judge Arthur Engoron fleeced $355 million from President Trump for taking out loans in New York State and paying them back on time and with interest. The charges were brought against Trump by crazed New York State Attorney General Letitia James. There were no victims in the so-called crime. The banks did their due diligence before they loaned Donald Trump the money and testified they would gladly do it again.

The non-jury Soviet-style show trial played out in court for eleven weeks. Judge Engoron delayed the verdict to mid-February after he demanded information about possible perjury by Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg at the eleventh hour.

Judge Engoron called Trump’s loan agreements a crime and ruled that President Donald Trump owed the state $355 million.

Billionaire investor and Shark Tank personality Kevin O’Leary recently chimed in on this ruling in an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit, calling it “an attack on the 11th sector of the S&P 500 and an attack on every entrepreneur in America,” adding, “That’s 100% what it is; It’s 100% Wrong.

But that’s not all. As Volokh Conspiracy reported, Engoron also put a Clinton-appointed judge in control of Trump’s business empire in New York State:

Judge Engoron also appointed retired U.S. District Judge Barbara Jones to continue in her role as an “independent monitor” of the Trump business empire but expanded her authority to review financial disclosures before they are submitted to third parties. Judge Jones can hire an independent director of compliance, and she has the authority to compel Trump to sell some or even all of his businesses down the road. This is all punishment for Trump allegedly committing fraud by falsely in inflating and deflating the value of his real estate assets to pay lower state taxes and to receive more favorable loans from banks.

The $355 million judgment PLUS daily interest has swelled to $464 million.

This is the definition of tyranny. New York state stole President Trump’s company from him because they don’t like his politics and psychopath Letitia James has been taunting Trump by posting a daily calculator of compounding interest on the judgment.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that President Trump will post a $100 million bond and ask for a stay of the $464 million judgment in Letitia James’ Soviet-style NYC fraud trial as he appeals the corrupt ruling.

Judge Arthur Engoron, a committed Democrat, has ruled repeatedly against Trump in the three years he’s been presiding over James’ lawsuit. According to the AP, he’s forced Trump to sit for a deposition, held him in contempt, and fined him $110,000.

According to reports, Judge Engoron has been married three times and has four children.

But Arthur Engoron is no boy scout. He’s just a weirdo and a seemingly sexually deviant old man.

Recently, Engeron came under scrutiny for posting half-naked photos of himself on an alumni newsletter he oversees.

The peculiar “BonusTorsoPhoto” showcased a malnourished torso, presumed to be his own, and left many questioning the appropriateness of such content in a school alumni newsletter.

Source: Wheatley Alumni Association Newsletter

The newsletter presented a before-and-after pictorial of the same torso, ostensibly to display physical improvements over time. These images, intended to flaunt muscle gains, instead cast a shadow of doubt over the judge’s judgment.

The Gateway Pundit also reported last week that the creepy pervert judge was caught by a defense attorney banging the secretary of opposing counsel during a previous case – a complete ethics violation.

Apparently, O’Keefe Media Group found the old gym rat in his natural habitat:

When O’Keefe arrived at the gym, one member recognized him and said, “I love you. Can I take a selfie with you?” He then said, “I know why you’re here too… Absolutely 100%.”

O’Keefe approached Engoron, saying, “Huge fan, thank you for what you did.” Engoron laughs, and James says, “Man, that must have felt good. We gotta get these MAGA people out of NY state. Just thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Engoron was clearly flattered, saying “I’m strong” when James and him were discussing the hate he has received for Communist-style persecution against President Trump.

Watch below:

Biden Cracks a Joke About His Age After Refusing to Mention Georgia College Student Killed By One of His Illegal Aliens (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 28th 2024 at 16:00

Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks on his so-called ‘actions to fight crime and make communities safer.’

This is while he’s allowing millions of military-age males from some of the most dangerous parts of the world to invade the US.

Venezuela emptied its prisons and some of its most dangerous gang members and murderers have illegally crossed into the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.

Biden’s open borders policies are getting Americans killed.

22-year-old Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student, was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal last week.

According to an affidavit unsealed, the barbaric savage who murdered Laken Riley “disfigured her skull.”

Lakin Riley was brutally murdered by one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens last week and he didn’t even mention her name during his remarks on crime.

Biden also hasn’t called Lakin Riley’s parents.

He ignored reporters after mumbling through remarks.

Biden’s contempt for the American people is truly pathetic, embarrassing, and sad pic.twitter.com/HbLXJhJVTt

Biden did however have time to crack a joke about himself.

Of course he did.

“They think I look too young,” Biden said.

Biden Regime Announces Partnership with “Voting Rights Groups” to Register Voters for 2024 Election – Plan includes Paying College Kids to Register Voters

By: Jim Hoft — February 28th 2024 at 16:20
Kamala Harris met with leaders of “voting rights groups” at the White House to announce plans to pay students to register voters.

Kamala Harris met with “voting rights leaders” at the White House on Tuesday to announce new ways the Biden regime will help register Americans to vote in 2024.

The Biden regime announced plans to pay college kids to register voters.

AXIOS reported:

The Democratic plan includes a call to reinforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which has been weakened by recent Supreme Court decisions. Harris also is announcing new strategies that federal agencies will use to encourage millions of Americans to vote in November.

  • The Department of Health and Human Services will email voter registration information to every person — more than 20 million last year — who signs up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.
  • Signage highlighting Vote.gov will now be visible to the 6 million people who visit the Social Security Administration’s more than 1,200 offices each year.
  • The Department of Interior will display Vote.gov signage in national park entrances and visitor centers across the country.
  • Voter registration information is now available in nearly 20 languages, including Chinese, Arabic and Navajo — up from just English and Spanish when President Biden and Harris were elected in 2020.

Between the lines: Harris is hosting a roundtable discussion Tuesday with representatives from more than 20 voting rights groups, to go over strategies for getting more information to voters.

  • Harris is asking the groups to promote voting on three national days of action: Juneteenth, the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act (Aug. 6) and National Voter Registration Day (Sept. 24 this year).
  • In a meeting with the groups last month, one key issue on the table was ongoing threats to the safety of election workers, which have led many volunteers to quit.

Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Trump Presidential Immunity Claim in Jack Smith January 6 Case – Trial May be Postponed Past November

By: Cristina Laila — February 28th 2024 at 16:40

The US Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear Trump’s presidential immunity claim in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 case in Washington, DC.

The high court will hear oral arguments on an expedited schedule the week of April 22 and decide by the end of the term in June or sooner.

Judge Tanya Chutkan postponed the March 4 trial date indefinitely as Trump’s immunity argument makes its way through the courts.

Jack Smith’s January 6 trial may be postponed past November.

“If the Supreme Court decides quickly to reject Trump’s bold immunity claim, it may permit a final trial on the 2020 election interference to occur later this summer or fall. But there’s no guarantee a final decision will actually come before November.” far-left The New Republic reported.

“Former appeals court Judge Michael Luttig predicted that it is now probably “unimaginable” that Trump will be tried in special counsel Jack Smith’s federal election interference trial before the 2024 election.” – TNR reported.

Earlier this month President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to pause the immunity ruling in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC.

A federal appeals court stacked with Biden judges previously denied Trump immunity in Jack Smith’s DC case.

The three-judge panel for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Trump immunity claims: Florence Pan (Biden appointee), Michelle Childs (Biden appointee), and Karen Henderson (George W. Bush appointee).

“We have balanced former President Trump’s asserted interests in executive immunity against the vital public interests that favor allowing this prosecution to proceed,” the three-judge panel wrote.

“We conclude that ‘concerns of public policy, especially as illuminated by our history and the structure of our government’ compel the rejection of his claim of immunity in this case,” they wrote.

Trump’s lawyers argued that Trump is immune from federal prosecution for alleged ‘crimes’ committed while he served as US President.

“In 234 years of American history, no president ever faced criminal prosecution for his official acts. Until 19 days ago, no court had ever addressed whether immunity from such prosecution exists,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in last month’s filing, according to CBS News. “To this day, no appellate court has addressed it. The question stands among the most complex, intricate, and momentous issues that this Court will be called on to decide.”

On January 9 a three-judge panel heard oral arguments and appeared skeptical of Trump’s immunity claims – one judge, a Biden appointee, asked attorney John Sauer if Trump would be subject to criminal prosecution if he ordered SEAL Team 6 to assassinate his political rivals.

Rep. Lauren Boebert’s 18-Year-Old Son Arrested, Faces Over 20 Charges Linked to Alleged Vehicle Trespass and Thefts

By: Jim Hoft — February 28th 2024 at 17:00

Tyler Boebert, the 18-year-old son of U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO), was arrested on Tuesday as part of an investigation into a series of alleged property thefts and vehicle trespasses, according to local authorities.

The Rifle Police Department detailed the arrest on their Facebook page, revealing that the young Boebert faces multiple charges.

“On February 27, 2024, at approximately 2:30 p.m., officers with the Rifle Police Department arrested Tyler Jay Boebert, 18. The arrest comes after a recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts in Rifle,” the statement read.

The charges presented against Tyler are severe, including four felony counts of Criminal Possession of Identification Documents pertaining to multiple victims, one felony count of Conspiracy to Commit a Felony, alongside over 15 additional misdemeanor and petty offenses.

The Garfield County Jail confirmed that Tyler Boebert is currently being held on 22 possible charges, predominantly misdemeanors.

As of Wednesday morning, he was listed as a current inmate without any bond information being made available, according to CBS News.

Rep. Lauren Boebert issued a heartfelt statement regarding her son’s arrest, saying, “I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn’t ask for. It breaks my heart to see my child struggling and, in this situation, especially when he has been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track.”

She further emphasized the importance of personal accountability, noting that, “as an adult and father, Tyler will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable for poor decisions just like any other citizen.” Previously, her office had shared the news that Tyler had become a father himself in June 2023.

This arrest adds to the series of legal issues confronting the Boebert family.

According to CBS, Lauren Boebert’s ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, was involved in legal proceedings concerning two separate altercations. Additionally, this month, Rep. Boebert obtained a temporary restraining order against Jayson following allegations of threats and unauthorized home entry.

The congresswoman also encountered controversy last year when she was escorted out of a Denver theater during a “Beetlejuice” show for disruptive behavior, an incident she later apologized for.

“The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community. While none of my actions or words as a private citizen that night were intended to be malicious or meant to cause harm, the reality is they did and I regret that,” Boebert said in a statement at the time.

“There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family. I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday. That’s unacceptable and I’m sorry.

“Whether it was the excitement of seeing a much-anticipated production or the natural anxiety of being in a new environment, I genuinely did not recall vaping that evening when I discussed the night’s events with my campaign team while confirming my enthusiasm for the musical. Regardless of my belief, it’s clear now that was not accurate; it was not my or my campaign’s intention to mislead, but we do understand the nature of how this looks. We know we will have to work to earn your trust back and it may not happen overnight, but we will do it.

“I’m deeply thankful to those in the 3rd District who have defended me and reached out this week and offered grace and support when I needed it the most. I’ve learned some humbling lessons these past few days but I vow moving forward, I will make you proud,” she concluded.

New York AG Letitia James Files Lawsuit Against Worlds Largest Beef Producer for ‘Misleading Public’ About its Impact on Climate

By: Cristina Laila — February 28th 2024 at 17:20

New York Attorney General Letitia James is now seeking to punish the worlds largest producer of beef products.

A far-left judge recently ordered Trump to pay a $355 million judgment (which has now swelled to $464 million with interest) and banned Trump from doing business in New York for 3 years after Letitia James sought to destroy the former president.

James charged President Trump for taking out loans, paying them back with interest, and making money for himself and the banks.  There were no victims in the case (except Trump) and the banks said they would gladly do business with billionaire Donald Trump again.  A lawless judge in New York fined Trump the original $355 million for doing business  in New York state.

Now she’s waging a war on meatpacking giant JBS USA Foods Co.

“The lawsuit filed in a New York state court in Manhattan seeks a $5,000 civil fine per violation of state business laws, and to recoup ill-gotten gains from false sustainability claims.” – Reuters reported.

“I’m suing @JBSFoodsUSA, the world’s largest beef producer, for misleading the public about its environmental impact,” Letitia James said on X. “The beef industry is one of the largest contributors to climate change, and JBS has falsely advertised its commitment to sustainability and endangered our planet.”

Letitia James absurdly claimed families are willing to pay more for food if their products are better for the environment.

“Families [are] willing to spend more of their hard-earned money on products from brands that are better for the environment,” James said in a statement. “JBS USA’s greenwashing exploits the pocketbooks of everyday Americans and the promise of a healthy planet for future generations.”

JBS greenwashed its environmental harms to drive sales and exploited hardworking families.

Companies cannot deceive people about their impacts on our planet.https://t.co/tYM9DJ0VqC

Reuters reported:

JBS (JBSS3.SA), opens new tab, the world’s largest beef producer, was sued on Wednesday by New York state’s attorney general, which accused it of misleading the public about its impact on the environment in order to boost sales.

Attorney General Letitia James said JBS USA Food Co, the Brazilian company’s American-based unit, has “no viable plan” to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, making its stated commitment to achieving that goal false and misleading.

James said JBS has admitted its “Net Zero by 2040” commitment did not incorporate the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions from its supply chain, including from deforestation in the Amazon.

She also said reaching the goal was “infeasible” given JBS’ plan to increase production and therefore its carbon footprint, on top of greenhouse gas emissions that had by 2021 exceeded those of the entire country of Ireland.

A crazed woman was caught on video going on a violent rampage in a tony Los Angeles neighborhood and even used a medieval weapon during part of the attack.

The incident occurred Monday according to TMZ. Witnesses saw a fully naked lady go berserk on a boardwalk in Venice Beach, confronting and attacking residents before another woman intervened.

The woman, dressed in a black tank top, attempted to end the madness with spiked clubs. The video, captured by TMZ, shows the clothed woman swinging a club at the nudist, who retreats to defend herself. This process repeats itself for several minutes.

The clothed lady then strikes the naked one with the baton before hurling it at her. The nude woman then scoops the object off the ground and starts running toward her attacker as well as other individuals.

The clothed woman then grabs a second baton and battles the naked one. The altercation reportedly went on for about six minutes without any police response.

Other individuals were accosted and threatened by the nudist during the altercation according to TMZ.

Police did not respond to TMZ for comment when asked if anyone was arrested following the incident.

Los Angeles has been ravaged with serious crime over the past several years thanks to Democrat-run leadership. But this incident qualifies as bizarre even by their standards.

Solving the Navy Math Problem

By: John Mills — February 28th 2024 at 18:00

The U.S. Navy and Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro are having a serious math problem.  Their challenge appears to be the rule of proportions in regards to their crisis in shipbuilding.  For submarines, it revolves around new construction and maintenance of the existing fleet.  The proper basic throughput calculation for new construction is dependent upon the “as is/to be” state of two facilities: HII/NNS (Huntington Ingalls Industries/Newport News Shipyard) in Virginia and GD/EB (General Dynamics/Electric Boat) in Connecticut.

The Navy’s goal is 2.33 new attack boats/per year; they are receiving 1.3. I.e., they are going backwards in the math.  However, 2.33 does not account for the new Columbia Class Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarine Production, any other large diameter submarines needed (such as replacements for the four converted Ohio Class Submarines used for SEALS and Tomahawks), nor five Virginia nuclear attack submarines being taken from the inventory and sold to Australia.  Thus, the real, annual throughput of submarines needed is more like 3.2 (that’s my estimate).

The Navy is proposing a “pass” in the Fiscal Year 2025 request where they go down to one (1) attack boat and instead bestow those funds to the amphibious force for a new purchase of a large San Antonio LPD. The Navy amphibious force is in disarray as the Navy ignores the Marine Corps requirements and Army Staff remembers that they had/have a Joint Theater Watercraft support mission. Better to have the Generals and Admirals argue over landing craft than control of the atomic mission.

Since the Navy has lost the art and science and math, I, an Army Colonel will solve this math for the Navy with half my brain tied behind my back (hat tip to Rush):

There, I have solved the Navy’s math problem.  All things being equal, the Navy needs 4.92 shipyards involved in Submarine production to deliver 3.2 submarines a year.  We can round this to an even five shipyards.  The real answer will depend on several factors, but no matter how efficient NNS and EB are, and they are good, something has to change to hit a delivery mark of 3.2 submarines per year which means significant more production acreage.  This same law of proportions can be used to solve the Navy’s submarine maintenance crisis, the growing delays in frigate production, Arleigh Burke Destroyer production, etc.

South Carolina as a starting point

No matter how many O-6s through O-10s and political appointees stare at the Excel spreadsheet of the five-year Navy shipbuilding plan or lecture industry on profits, it’s not going to get better until a disruptive event occurs.  Disruptive can be a good thing like new shipyards, it doesn’t have to be a war, this may prevent a war. This Navy challenge with math is baffling; I don’t know if this math challenge is related to the Navy dropping standards for joining, CRT, DEI, or asbestos.

It is intuitive that additional yards need to be added to the partnering arrangement between HII/NNS and GD/EB where they barge major assemblies to one another. The arrangement is sound and logical, but simply not keeping up with throughput.

The answer is disruptive – as a starting point, add a third yard, close by that can participate in the barging arrangement (I helped load Crowley 4x1s for a season so have an affinity for the barging arrangement).

A logical candidate – resurrect the Charleston, South Carolina Naval Shipyard – at a close by location as a greenfield (i.e. totally fresh start), modern, state of the art facility. Get an Army General to run a Manhattan like effort to do the Civil Engineering in a Government Owned/Contractor Operated facility post haste upriver from the original Charleston Naval Shipyard.

Another new facility in the Gulf Region which is modernizing significantly is Austal in Mobile, Alabama.  They would be an ideal yard for even greater expansion to help in production of the new Constellation Frigate and also other ships.

 

Washington State along the Columbia River

New production of submarines is currently clustered on the East Coast.  However, new greenfield facilities on the West Coast can be of great assistance in addressing the maintenance throughput on all vessel types as well as new construction of frigates, destroyers, support vessels, and perhaps most importantly, autonomous vessels.  On the West Coast, there are not many options for a new yard without massive Federal eminent domain claims of land and terraforming/backfilling of coastal harbors on a scale not seen recently in America.  A possible site is the Vigor main shipyard in Portland Oregon; however, this facility is relatively boxed in by urban development and has little room for growth.  A new site downriver on the Columbia River, closer to where it meets the Pacific Ocean, makes sense.

Land acquisition, expansion, and outfitting for a close-by satellite yard would be a large undertaking and not helped by the strangulation of regulatory oversight by the Blue regimes dominating at the state and Local level, but the national urgency is a compelling necessity.

There are three places along the Columbia River in Washington State (Congressional District WA-3) that would be ideal for new, state-of-the art shipbuilding, and repair facilities.  These are Chinook, Oneida, and Longview, Washington.  These new facilities, like the Austal facility in Mobile, Alabama could be as automated, and AI enabled as much as possible for maximum efficiency.  All work should be done inside enclosed, climate controlled, 72-degree facilities that provide far greater worker safety, efficiency, and privacy from prying eyes.

A second drydock in the Pacific that can handle a carrier is needed – currently, there is only one and the Navy can’t figure out whether it is safe to use and it needs substantive work to handle a Ford Class aircraft carrier.  The construction of a super-size covered drydock should also be implemented at these new Columbia River facilities.

 Vertical integration with key partners like the PI, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan

Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro can’t figure out whether he’s Trumpian or Red Brandon.  He provides leadership on ship construction not seen since the Reagan days, then reverts to berating shipbuilders for daring to yield profits.  Maybe he’s been talked to.  He has now departed on a trip to Pacific Partner countries like South Korea and Japan which are world experts in efficient shipbuilding.  He should also visit the re-awakening yard in the Philippines which shows great potential as well as Taiwan that excels at shipbuilding.

The vertically integrated, internationally sourced, “Boeing-like” American final assembly of ships can yield incredible time and cost savings as the Maritime Administration just demonstrated.  The ships are being delivered on time, on budget – and getting little attention.  Might be because it started as a Trump initiative.  Regardless of who gets credit, this is a model for a leap ahead for solving the Navy’s problems while returning America to an era of maritime leadership.  We just need to find the right Army General to run this massive planning and civil engineering exercise for the Navy to help Navy Secretary Del Toro solve the Navy math problem.

X Users Didn’t Like a Paper’s Tone and Findings, So They Got It Rejected

By: Guest Contributor — February 28th 2024 at 18:20

This story originally was published by Real Clear Wire

By Ross Pomeroy
Real Clear Wire

At Frontiers in Psychology, it seems that users on X are now part of the peer review process.

On January 4th, the paper “Meta-analysis: On average, undergraduate students’ intelligence is merely average,” was accepted to the journal. That same day, the abstract was published with the notice that the “final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.”

Soon thereafter, the paper went viral, quickly accruing over 54,000 views, wide discussion on X and Reddit, and coverage in popular media (including RCS). It garnered this attention for its intriguing yet simultaneously obvious finding: over the past 80 years, as a far greater proportion of North Americans attended college, the average IQ of college undergraduates dropped from around 120 to 102, just slightly above the average of 100.

As the authors, Bob Uttl, a psychologist and faculty member at Mount Royal University, and his students Victoria Violo and Lacey Gibson, noted, “The decline in students’ IQ is a necessary consequence of increasing educational attainment over the last 80 years. Today, graduating from university is more common than completing high school in the 1940s.” College students no longer come solely from the ranks of the highly intelligent and privileged, they come from all corners of society. Uttl and his colleagues noted that this has implications. For example, academic standards and curricula might have to be adjusted. Moreover, employers can’t assume that applicants with university degrees are more capable or smarter than those without degrees.

A little over a month after Uttl, Violo, and Gibson’s paper was accepted and the abstract published, they were abruptly notified by email that it was rejected. They were apprised that Specialty Chief Editor Eddy Davelaar, a Professor of Psychology and Applied Neuroscience at Birkbeck, University of London, overrode the three peer reviewers who approved the paper and even his own handling editor. His reasons were subsequently forwarded to Uttl and his colleagues.

While Davelaar raised a couple of issues with the paper’s methods, the vast majority of his focus was on its tone. He wrote that the use of the word “merely” in reference to college students’ just-above-average IQ was “demeaning.” He also noted that the authors’ critiques of other scientists’ works “could have been packaged more sensitively.” He also called unfounded the authors’ opinion that the widening participation policies of universities were the cause of undergraduates’ falling IQs.

In emails viewed by RealClearScience, Uttl extensively refuted Davelaar’s issues the same day the paper was rejected (Feb. 6), to which he received no reply from Davelaar or Frontiers for six days. On February 12, Frontiers replied saying that Davelaar’s concerns remained. If they were addressed, “the manuscript could be reconsidered for publication.”

Uttl subsequently published his refutations of Davelaar’s methodological criticisms online. Lending strength to his arguments is that fact that three peer reviewers and even Davelaar’s own handling editor did not find fault with Uttl’s paper.

Davelaar’s problems with the paper’s tone and conclusions were harder to address, because they were his opinions. It seemed strange that an editor’s opinions should supplant those of the paper’s authors. It’s not his paper, after all.

In response to a request for comment, Frontiers stated that an article can be rejected at any stage before official publication. A public relations manager then quoted their editorial process, “…if a manuscript does not meet our editorial criteria and standards for publication, or if peer-review or research integrity concerns are raised by any review participant or reader (abstracts are published online ahead of official publication), the journal’s chief editors and Frontiers’ Chief Executive Editor will investigate these concerns, regardless of peer review or acceptance stage.”

Frontiers added:

The Speciality Chief Editor (SCE) reviewed the paper in line with our clearly stated editorial process when concerns were raised about the abstract, particularly about underlying bias. The SCE assessment concurred with some reviewers’ judgements, identifying substantive flaws in the meta-analysis and bias in the tone of the paper. The authors were given further opportunities to revise the paper in line with reviewer and SCE comments. These requested revisions were not made but once again disputed.

RealClearScience reached out directly to Davelaar for comment, but he has not replied.

Uttl was curious what brought on the sudden rejection of his already accepted paper, so he asked representatives at Frontiers. He was told that “several posts” on X triggered Dr. Davelaar’s review. As readers were only able to view the abstract, and thus weren’t able to assess the authors’ methodology, it seems clear that they complained purely about the authors’ tone and provocative conclusions. Davelaar only found ‘problems’ with Uttl, Violo, and Gibson’s methods afterwards.

Uttl and his co-authors were not apprised of the content of the X posts.

“I think an editor or whoever owes it to us to tell us what the issues are, allows us to respond, before rejection,” he told RCS in an email.

Uttl, Violo, and Gibson have since had their publication fees refunded and have submitted the paper for publication at another journal.

Closing Arguments in Fani Willis Disqualification and Case Dismissal Hearing Set for FRIDAY

By: Jordan Conradson — February 28th 2024 at 18:40
Fani Willis screams at attorneys after she is questioned about her love affair with her co-worker Nathan Wade.

Judge Scott McAfee is set to hear closing arguments on Friday in the case to disqualify Soros-funded Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for having an improper relationship with her appointee as the special prosecutor against Trump and 18 co-defendants in the Georgia RICO indictment and financially benefitting from said relationship.

This hearing also aims to dismiss the indictment completely.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Earlier this month, Fani Willis and Nathan Wade were subpoenaed to testify at an evidentiary hearing thanks to a lawsuit filed by Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman.

Judge Scott McAfee previously said Fani Willis may be disqualified from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

The Gateway Pundit reported extensively on the explosive testimony in the previous hearings by Nathan Wade, Fani Willis, and Fani’s ex-Black Panther daddy.

Nathan Wade testified under oath earlier this month that he paid for all the vacations he took with Fani Willis with his business card – and Fani Willis reimbursed him in CASH for expenses.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on bank statements showing numerous vacation expenses for Fani Willis and himself that he was apparently reimbursed for, including hotels, air travel, flowers, Ubers, and car rentals, as well as $3,172.20 on a cruise suggested she benefitted financially and stole from taxpayers to pay for lavish vacations.

Wade and Willis both testified earlier this month that they started a relationship AFTER he was appointed to lead the Trump election interference case. The two also claimed that they met at Willis’s home no more than ten times, but according to geo-tracking data, Wade likely visited Willis’s home 35 TIMES.

It was also discovered that Wade and Willis exchanged over 2,000 voice calls and almost 12,000 text messages in the 11 months of January to November 2021 before Nathan Wade was hired.

Robin Yearti, who worked in Fani Willis’s office, testified that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade started their relationship in 2019 – before Willis was DA and assigned Nathan Wade as lead prosecutor in the RICO lawfare case against President Trump. They likely perjured themselves in court — a felony!

Nathan Wade’s divorce attorney and former law partner, Terrence Bradley, was back on the stand on Tuesday after previously refusing to answer questions and hiding behind attorney-client privilege. However, Judge Scott McAfee ruled he was not protected by attorney-client privilege and ordered him to testify Tuesday morning.

Watch a replay of Bradley’s full testimony earlier here.

Throughout yesterday’s hearing, Bradley ducked questions from attorneys for Trump and Trump’s co-defendants about when Fani Willis and Nathan Wade’s relationship started. He did not answer the questions, claiming he didn’t know or could not recall any details.

He was sweating bullets on the witness stand as he was grilled with questions he claimed he could not answer.

According to messages he exchanged with Michael Roman’s attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, Wade previously told her that the relationship started long before Fani Willis hired Wade but that they would deny the truth!

It was further revealed that Bradley told Merchant that the two had sex at Fani Willis’ private law office sometime before she even took office and that Nathan Wade even had a garage door opener to Fani Willis’ home.

Even the far-left hacks at NBC know how damning these messages and Bradley’s refusal to answer were for Fani Willis’s side in the disqualification hearing.

NBC Hacks Say Nathan Wade Divorce Attorney was “Clearly an Adverse Witness” in Fani Willis Disqualification Hearing – Greg Bluestein from Atlanta Journal-Constitution Says Disqualification Will be a “DEATH SENTENCE for This Case” (VIDEO)

Judge Scott McAfee is expected to make a decision after the hearing and closing arguments on Friday.

Mcafee is a recently appointed Fulton County Superior Court judge who previously served under Fani Willis at the District Attorney’s office. Hopefully, he makes the correct and just decision and disqualifies his former employer and corrupt District Attorney, Fani Willis, from her sloppy political witchhunt against President Trump. He should also have Fani Willis and Nathan Wade jailed for lying to the court.

ABC News reports,

Judge Scott McAfee said that he plans to hear arguments from the parties on Friday about the case for Willis’ disqualification so he can try to make a ruling.

“At this point, I need to start hearing the arguments and the law and what we’ve heard so far. If I think I’m able to reach a ruling based on that, I will,” McAfee said.

He added that the parties could push to continue presenting evidence if needed.

“The intention is that we’re still sticking with the argument,” McAfee said. “But the parties are free to address some of these issues that have been brought up, post-hearing, if they’d like to.”

The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on this bombshell Motion to Disqualify Fani Willis and the fate of the Georgia indictment against Trump and 18 co-defendants.

Radical Illinois Judge Kicks President Trump Off the State’s Ballot

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 28th 2024 at 19:00
Credit: Illinois State Bar Association

A corrupt Cook County judge has ordered the Illinois Board of Elections to remove Donald Trump from ballots statewide for the March 19 primary.

As ABC 7 News Chicago reports, Democrat Judge Tracie Porter stripped Trump from the Illinois ballot one month after the Illinois State Board of Elections dismissed the anti-Trump challenge in a unanimous and bipartisan vote.

Porter claimed Trump violated the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause as her excuse for removing him from the ballot. We all know Trump did not commit insurrection or any other federal crime.

“The court also realizes the magnitude of this decision and its impact on the upcoming primary Illinois elections,” Porter wrote.

“The Illinois State Board of Election shall remove Donald J. Trump from the ballot for the General Primary Election on March 19, 2024, or cause any votes cast for him to be suppressed.”

Porter previously rejected Trump’s request to stop the proceedings until the US Supreme Court rules on the similar Colorado-based case challenge that kept him off the ballot in that state.

As CNN notes, Illinois is now the third state where Trump was booted from the ballot, after Colorado and Maine. But those decisions were paused pending the appeal of the Colorado case to the US Supreme Court.

Porter relied on the prior ridiculous finding by the Colorado Supreme Court, calling Colorado’s rationale “compelling.”

CNN also notes this lawsuit was filed by a group of leftist voters in conjunction with the far-left legal advocacy group Free Speech For People.

The group had previously tried, but failed, to bar Trump from the ballot in Michigan, Minnesota, and Oregon.

Porter did issue a stay to Wednesday’s order to give time for Trump’s attorneys to appeal the decision.

German Battleship in the Red Sea Misidentifies US Drone, Fires Two Missiles, Both Fail To Reach the Target

By: Paul Serran — February 28th 2024 at 19:20
German Frigate Hessen

Germany is reportedly implementing a serious overhaul of the country’s military, led by Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

The revamp of the military seeks to ‘make the force more capable of defending Germany and its allies.’

Deutsche Welle reported that the new defense guidelines state: “‘We must be the backbone of deterrence and collective defense in Europe. Our own population, as well as our partners in Europe, North America and the world, expect us to face up to this responsibility’.”

However, in the real world, things are not going so well for the Bundeswehr, as the deploying of the frigate ‘Hessen’ to the Red Sea has made clear.

German paper Bild’s editor Julian Röpcke has written about what he calls the ‘incredible double mishap in the German Navy off the coast of Yemen!’

The drama took place on Monday evening and is ’emblematic of the partly desolate state of the German army under Defense Minister Boris Pistorius’.

Read: TRUMP’S TOUGH TALK WORKS: Germany Vows To Spend Over 2% GDP in Defense ‘For Decades to Come’, Pressures European Allies To Do the Same

BILD reported:

“The German warship’s radar systems incorrectly recognized a drone circling overhead as hostile. The ‘Hessen’ then fired two rockets at them.

But in reality the unknown aircraft was a US MQ-9 Reaper drone (20 meter wingspan, 30 million euros).

A blessing in disguise for the Americans: Both German SM2 interceptor missiles [failed to] reach their target for technical reasons, but instead fell into the sea without achieving anything.”

Germany deployed the frigate Hessen with around 240 soldiers on board.

The Reaper drone flies 40,000 feet high, while the maximum operational altitude of the German SM-2 anti-aircraft missile is over 65,000 feet – so it should have been well within fire range.

“Defense Ministry spokesman Michael Stempfle confirmed on Wednesday that the drone that was targeted and shot at could not initially be assigned to any of the allied nations. The ‘Hesse’ then tried to shoot down this drone, but was unsuccessful.”

Before firing the missiles, the frigate had asked all allied nations about the drone, and no country had reported it in the operational area.

Only later did it turn out that it was an ‘unreported drone’.

US combat drones are reportedly operating in the region in missions that have nothing to do with the operation in the Red Sea.

German opposition MP Florian Hahn says that Olaf Scholz and his dysfunctional coalition hid the problems from lawmakers.

“We have only now found out when asked that some of the ammunition from the frigate ‘Hessen’ can no longer be procured because there is no longer any industrial capacity to do it.

So, when the stocks are depleted, the Navy can no longer restock them – and has to withdraw the frigate. Parliament decided to deploy without knowing that there was obviously an ammunition problem with the class 124 frigate.”

Ridiculous Freshman Lawmaker Jasmine Crockett in Unhinged Rant Says “Republicans Have Become Synonymous With Russians” (VIDEO)

By: Anthony Scott — February 28th 2024 at 19:40

Following Hunter Biden’s testimony on Capitol Hill, freshman lawmaker from Texas Jasmine Crockett went on an unhinged rant against her Republican colleagues.

Shortly after attending Hunter Biden’s closed-door deposition hearing, the democrat lawmaker told the press, “The spectacle right now is putting us in a sense of danger, not just in this country but in this world.”

Crockett continued, “Right now, what they are doing is they’re peddling Russian lies. Basically, the Republicans have become synonymous with Russians.”

Rep. Matt Gaetz offered a more insightful take on the deposition hearings. He shared, “I have to say there were a number of interesting moments, perhaps none more interesting than when Hunter Biden told us that he joined the Bursima board to counter Russian aggression.”

“It is a mirage to believe that Hunter Biden was engaged in international business. This was a bribe masquerading as an international business transaction–nothing more, nothing less,” added Gaetz.

FBI Instructs J6 Conservative Reporter Steve Baker to Turn Himself in on Friday – This Comes After He Questioned the Government’s Role in the Protests on Jan. 6

By: Jim Hoft — February 28th 2024 at 20:00
The Blaze contributor Steve Baker

Nearly three years after the January 6, 2021 fedsurrection, Blaze reporter Steve Baker reported in December that he will be charged for his actions that day reporting live on the event.

Steve wrote in October 2023 that he was under investigation for the past two years by Chris Wray’s FBI for reporting at the historic protests in Washington DC.

Even reporters aren’t safe from this tyrannical regime. Steve expected to be charged by the Biden regime.

BREAKING My attorney has just been notified by @FBI that I am going to be charged by @TheJusticeDept for my journalistic efforts on #Jan6. I have to self-surrender on Tuesday. Charges are yet unknown. Stay tuned for more information to follow this afternoon.

— Steve Baker – TPC (@TPC4USA) December 14, 2023

Steve Baker detailed his experiences that day in an earlier report.  Then, in February 2021, he began questioning the role others may have played in the protests and rioting that day. This was clearly off limits.

The left-wing Sedition Hunters compiled a rather impressive spreadsheet of all types of journalists, with designations of “Interior (Breach),” “Interior (Press Corps),” and “Restricted Grounds” assigned to 160 different “confirmed” journalists, and an additional spreadsheet tab listing 45 “unconfirmed” reporters and videographers.

When I first looked up the Sedition Hunters’ spreadsheet over a year ago, I wasn’t listed. So I contacted them and asked to be added. They didn’t respond to me directly. Instead, they blocked me from their Twitter page. A more recent search shows they added my name, along with my Locals blog link, my Twitter handle, and my Rumble page, with the “Interior (Breach)” designation under the “confirmed” tab.

(My journalistic activities on January 6 took place before I became a Blaze Media contributor.)

I made no effort to hide what I was doing on January 6. I did two different interviews that same day with WUSA, a CBS News affiliate in Washington, D.C. I also uploaded a short YouTube video commentary later that same evening.

Upon returning to my home in Raleigh, North Carolina, I socked myself away for five days, doing a frame-by-frame analysis of my own videos. I then wrote and published on January 13, 2021, a 9,500-word opus to my blog detailing what I experienced that day, titled, “What I Saw on January 6th in Washington, D.C.

That piece, and a February 24, 2021, follow-up, “Who was ‘Up the Chain’ on January 6?” has been viewed and read by hundreds of thousands of readers on my blog and various social media pages.

Obviously, this was not acceptable to the regime.

Steve Baker announced on Wednesday that he has been instructed to turn himself in on Friday – wearing shorts and sandals.

The Blaze reported:

Baker told Blaze News he’s been instructed to turn himself in at the agency’s field office at 7 a.m. wearing “shorts and sandals” — which he said signals that the plan likely is to go for “humiliation” and place him in an orange jumpsuit, handcuff him, and do the “prisoner transport routine.”

The regime is going to arrest this reporter after he questioned the government’s role in January 6.

Hulu Streaming Service Hits Reverse When Confronted for Censoring Church Ad

By: Guest Contributor — February 28th 2024 at 20:20

Guest by post by Bob Unruh 

Claimed an announcement about a new service was ‘indoctrination’

The Hulu streaming service has abruptly reversed itself, doing a 180 when confronted about its decision to censor a Texas church’s advertisement.

Jeremy Dys, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute, confirmed, “We are grateful to Hulu for its quick response to our demand letter and for accepting Hulen Street Church’s ad.”

He pointed out that Hulu, “and others in Big Tech,” could avoid “these kinds of conflicts by adopting advertising policies that do not discriminate against religious organizations, being transparent about its advertising policy, and applying it fairly.”

The church serves a “significant” number of people in Fort Worth, and recognizing that growing numbers work on Sundays, started a Thursday night service.

“To advertise its new service time, the church created a 22-second video ad in which Pastor Wes Hamilton extends a short invitation. The church successfully placed its ad through Facebook, Instagram, and Google Ads, but despite seeming to fit Hulu’s announced advertising policy, Hulu originally rejected the ad twice,” First Liberty said.

A report on the dispute at CBN said it previously had reported that Hulen Street Church had accused Hulu of rejecting its ad “over the claim the spot violated policies surrounding ‘religious indoctrination.'”

But, Dys noted, such a designation is nowhere in Hulu’s ad policies.

His organization then delivered a demand letter that encouraged Hulu to recognize and accept religious advertising.

Dys explained to CBN what had happened: “Hulu … has a bunch of ads that they allow people to put on the platform if you’re an approved advertiser. Hulen Street Church … decided to open up a new [Thursday] service time for people … who aren’t able to get to Sunday services, and they wanted to advertise that locally like they’ve done in a lot of other places, and so they became it an approved advertiser. They submitted their ad and it was rejected. They submitted it again, and it was rejected again.”

The message from the church was anything but controversial, stating, “Does your work schedule or busy family calendar not allow you to attend church on a Sunday morning? If so, I want to invite you to Thursday nights at Hulen Street Church beginning on February 1st.”

Hulu, a Disney-owned company, initially claimed the ad involved “religious indoctrination.”

White House “Doctor” Releases Written Summary of Dementia Joe Biden’s Unannounced Physical Examination

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 28th 2024 at 20:40

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today that Joe Biden made an unexpected trip to Walter Reed for a physical examination. The White House occupier claimed a “written summary” would be released later.

Biden’s poor health has been particularly scrutinized ever since Special Counsel Robert Hur released a damning evaluation in his report on Biden’s stolen classified documents investigation earlier this month. He described Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” after hours of questioning.

As in previous years, Dr. Kevin O’Connor was responsible for “evaluating” the 81-year-old. But instead of conducting a truly independent and honest examination, O’Connor decided to gaslight the public in his written letter announcing the results.

O’Connor concluded, despite Biden’s obvious physical struggles, he is “fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.”

The doctor proclaimed that Biden “Feels well, and this year’s physical identifies no new concerns.” O’Connor also said this year’s physical included consultation with several Presidential Specialty Consultants who “concurred” with his findings.

Notably, the examination did NOT include a cognitive assessment test. The White House was probably scared of the results, knowing they would doom Biden’s re-election bid for good.

Here is the letter:

Beyond his obvious mental limitations, Biden has had a variety of physical ailments. He had a colonoscopy in 2021, in which a 3-millimeter “benign-appearing polyp” was identified and removed. The report also acknowledged Joe Biden’s stiffened gait (which has worsened), persistent cough, and chronic throat clearing.

In 1988, Biden had surgery to repair two brain aneurysms, with one of them leaking.

An overwhelming number of Americans, even Democrats, have expressed deep worry over Biden’s health and whether he should attempt to seize another four years in office.

But the White House does not care and is willing to risk a potential death in the Oval Office to preserve political power.

Coach at Christian School Banned After Team Refused Game Against Opponent with Trans Player Defends Decision

By: Warner Todd Huston, The Western Journal — February 28th 2024 at 21:00
Chris Goodwin, girls basketball coach of Mid-Vermont Christian School, is interviewed Monday by "Fox & Friends."

A basketball coach at a Vermont private school that was banned by the state’s schools association after it forfeited a game last year to avoid playing against a boy who claims to be a girl is defending his actions despite the extreme punishment by ultra-woke school officials.

Chris Goodwin, coach of the girls basketball team for Mid Vermont Christian School in White River Junction, Vermont, decided his team would not play in a Feb. 21, 2023, state playoff game.

Goodwin made the decision because the opponent had a boy playing on its team who claimed to be a transgender girl. Goodwin said it was both unfair and unsafe for his girls to play.

At the time, Mid Vermont Christian Head of School Vicky Fogg wrote in an email to the Valley News newspaper, which covers the White River Junction area, that Goodwin forfeited the game because the transgender player “jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players.”

“Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general,” Fogg wrote.

But the school was soon set upon by the Vermont Principals Association, which accused Mid Vermont Christian of violating state laws that demand that schools allow transgender athletes to pick whatever team they feel most comfortable playing for at any given time.

The principals association banned Mid Vermont Christian from participating in all VPA-sanctioned activities, which include not only athletics but also extracurricular competitions such as drama and debate competitions and science and math fairs.

Mid-Vermont Christian, in turn, has filed a lawsuit against the association, claiming “unconstitutional religious discrimination and hostility.” In addition to the Vermont Principals Association, defendants named by the lawsuit include the leaders of the Vermont Agency of Education and the state Board of Education.

The lawsuit claims the ban prevents Mid Vermont Christian from participation in the state’s “tuitioning” program — a form of school vouchers that pays student tuition at private schools — and the state dual enrollment program, which allows high school students to take earn college credits.

The stakes, in other words, are higher than a basketball game.

Goodwin appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Monday to talk about his experience and to defend his actions.

“I’ve got four daughters. I’ve coached them all at one point in their careers playing high school basketball,” Goodwin said as he criticized the idea of boys playing as girls.

“I’ve also filled in for the boys’ coach when he can’t make a practice, and I run those practices, and boys just play at a different speed, a different force … than the girls play. It’s a different game.”

Goodwin explained that he felt it would be “irresponsible” to let his girls team play against a male and added that it would be “asking for an injury” from the stronger and faster male player.

No school should be punished for believing in biology.

Chris Goodwin, client and girls coach for Mid Vermont Christian School, shares the story ⬇ | @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/5sWcVhHvxT

— Alliance Defending Freedom (@ADFLegal) February 26, 2024

In a brusque, March 13, 2023, memo to Mid Vermont Christian, the principals’ association said the school did not meet the group’s commitment to “racial,” “gender-fair” and “gender identity” policies.

“Thus, Mid Vermont Christian school is ineligible to participate in VPA activities going forward,” the memo states.

In a statement to CNN after Mid Vermont Christian filed its lawsuit in November, the governing body said the school “has every right to teach its beliefs to its own students. It cannot, however, impose those beliefs on students from other public and private schools; deny students from other schools the opportunity to play; or hurt students from other schools because of who those students are.”

In its lawsuit, Mid Vermont Christian argues it has been “irreparably harmed by being denied participation” in state sports competitions and is “losing out on playing competitive sports as well as academic competition.”

“The VPA won’t even allow the School and its students to participate in co-ed academic competitions like the Geo-Bee, Science and Math Fair, and Debate and Forensics League-all because the School believes biological boys are boys and cannot affirm otherwise,” the lawsuit states.

“The State is entitled to its own views,” it argues, “but it is not entitled, nor is it constitutional, to force private, religious schools across the state to follow that orthodoxy as a condition to participating in Vermont’s tuitioning program and the State’s athletic association.”

Goodwin is unrepentant over the forfeiture.

“After discussions with the administration and our players and parents, we decided that instead of going against our religious beliefs that … there are differences between male and female, we are created differently, we decided to forfeit that game and withdraw from the tournament,” he told “Fox & Friends.”

Ryan Tucker, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom who is representing Mid Vermont Christian, accused the principals association of trying to silence dissent.

“The state is basically attempting to purge individuals like Chris and other family members in the state, from public discourse, from the ability … to speak out … on issues of significant, public concern,” he said on “Fox & Friends.”

He accused the state of failing to consider “the biological reality” and the health and safety risks to female athletes.

“We’re very confident that we’re going to prevail,” he said.

Biden’s Late Night Interview With Seth Meyers Was a Ratings Dud – Especially With Young Voters

By: Mike LaChance — February 28th 2024 at 21:20

Joe Biden’s decision to go on the Seth Meyers late night show was mocked, considering he had just turned down the opportunity to do a softball interview at the Super Bowl.

Now the ratings for the Meyers interview are in and they are not great. The program did particularly poorly among young voters.

Biden could have reached millions of people with the Super Bowl but he chose to do this instead. Great instincts, Joe!

The Washington Examiner reports:

Biden’s Seth Meyers interview suffers drastic ratings drop among younger viewers

President Joe Biden’s appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers did not perform as well as he might have hoped.

Biden appeared on the talk show, hoping to draw up support amid his tight race against likely Republican nominee Donald Trump. The attempt struggled to land, however, especially among the critical 25-54 age demographic, Nielsen Media Research found.

The interview brought in an average of 852,000 viewers and just 181,000 in that demographic. The figure is 32% less than the same day the year prior.

Meyers’s show has declined in ratings significantly over his tenure, partly due to the public transition away from cable television.

Those are embarrassing numbers for a sitting president. Reruns of Law and Order get better ratings.

It's beyond refreshing to see that younger viewers also find Seth Meyers to be patently insufferable.

The show only drew 852,000 viewers despite having POTUS on during an election year.

Context: Gutfeld drew nearly 2.2 million on the same night, or nearly triple the audience. https://t.co/vmbTGlcRyf

Odds are that the only people who tuned in to watch this interview were journalists, hardcore Seth Meyers fans and committed Democrats. Other than that, not too many people are interested in hearing what Biden has to say.

Tucker Carlson on the 2020 Election: ‘It Was 100 Percent Stolen’ (VIDEO)

By: Mike LaChance — February 28th 2024 at 21:40

Tucker Carlson recently did an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman.

Their discussion covered a wide range of topics and is worth watching in full, but Tucker’s comments on the 2020 election are especially interesting.

Tucker said the election was ‘100 percent stolen’ citing the last minute changes made to voting procedures with regards to Covid.

PJ Media reported:

“You said to some degree the election was rigged,” Fridman began. “Was it stolen?”

“It was 100% stolen,” Carlson replied. “Are you joking?”

“Like, it was rigged to that large—”

“They completely change the way people vote right before the election on the basis of COVID—which had nothing to do with—”

“So, in that way, it was rigged?” Fridman asked.

Carlson replied:

One hundred percent. And then you censor the information people are allowed to get. Anyone who complains about COVID, which was like — by the way, it might have hurt Trump. But I mean, it’s like whatever… I mean, you could play it many different ways. You can’t have censorship in a democracy by definition; here’s how it works. The people rule, they vote for representatives to carry their agenda to the capital city and get it enacted; that’s how they’re in charge. And every few years they get to reassess the performance of those people in an election. In order to do that, they need access, unfettered access to information. And no one, particularly not people who are already in power, is allowed to tell them what information they can have. They have to have all the information that they want. Whether the people in charge want it or don’t want it or think it’s true or think it’s false doesn’t matter.

This video is cued to start at the right moment. Just press play:

Millions of Trump voters have been saying this for three years. Tucker’s point about the 2024 election hits hard as well.

BIDEN’S AMERICA: Macy’s Closing 150 Stores Nationwide – San Francisco Store Says Rampant Shoplifting to Blame for Closing

By: Mike LaChance — February 28th 2024 at 22:00

Macy’s announced this week that they are closing 150 stores across the country. It’s just another feather in Joe Biden’s cap that this is happening on his watch.

Bidenomics is not working out well for retailers – or customers.

From WECT News:

Macy’s to close 150 stores over 3 years as sales slip

Macy’s will close 150 unproductive namesake stores over the next three years including 50 by year-end, the department store operator said Tuesday after posting a fourth-quarter loss and declining sales.

As part of the strategy, Macy’s aims to upgrade its remaining 350 stores, with plans to add more salespeople to fitting areas and shoe departments, while adding more visual displays like mannequins. At the same time, the company signaled a pivot to luxury, which has fared better overall. It said it would open 15 of its higher end Bloomingdale’s stores and 30 of its luxury Bluemercury cosmetics locations.

The Macy’s stores set to close account for 25% of overall square footage but less than 10% of its sales, the company said.

In San Francisco, the flagship store is closing and as usual, theft was a big reason.

From the San Francisco Standard:

Macy’s Union Square workers say rampant shoplifting to blame for closure

“It happens every day,” employee Steve Dalisay said.

Hanging up blazers in the Macy’s sixth-floor men’s department, Dalisay said blazers, wallets and boxer briefs are the items most frequently stolen from his department. He said thieves take at least four blazers every day, adding that he typically sees about 10 wallets and 20 briefs stolen daily…

In the fourth-floor women’s department, another employee who has been working at the Union Square Macy’s for more than 10 years insisted that theft and lower sales were the driving forces behind the closure.

“It’s the theft, and that people aren’t coming in,” said the worker, who did not want to be identified because employees aren’t allowed to speak to reporters. “Basically, the same thing that happened to the Nordstrom is happening to us.”

In this video, Mayor London Breed flat out denies that theft was a problem.

San Francisco is going to be a ghost town if it continues down this road.

Victor Davis Hanson: Biden is Melting Down While Trump is Having Greatest Political Recovery Since Nixon (VIDEO)

By: Mike LaChance — February 28th 2024 at 22:20

Conservative historian and scholar Victor Davis Hanson appeared on the Laura Ingraham show last night to comment on the state of the 2024 race.

Hanson suggested that Democrats want to get rid of Joe Biden but that they don’t know how or when to do it.

He also pointed out that while Biden is in near total meltdown, Trump is surging in a political recovery that looks historic.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

LAURA INGRAHAM: Joining me now, Chris Bedford, senior contributor at The Federalist. And Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. Victor, we’re seeing a lot of division on the left. Obviously, there’s division on the right as well. But just how big of a problem is this going to be for the Biden campaign as reality begins to set in as they get closer to the general?

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON, HOOVER INSTITUTION SENIOR FELLOW: Yeah, I think we’re getting to a point of no return, Laura, with the corruption issue, the cognitive issue, and the unpopularity and disaster of his agenda, and now this defection within the Democratic Party. It’s more of a question of not if they’re going to try to remove him, but when and how, and I don’t think they have the answers to either one.

It’s really the most remarkable meltdown of a president we’ve seen in our modern era, and it’s juxtaposed with probably the greatest political recovery of Donald Trump since Richard Nixon in 1962. And Donald Trump, the more they try to demonize and incarcerate him or use lawfare against him, the more popular he becomes. So, it’s bizarre how things have just flipped since 2021.

It’s remarkable. I think they’re in a dilemma and they don’t — they know what they have to do, but they don’t know how to do it and when to do it…

Hanson goes on to say that he is still concerned about mail-in ballots. Watch the whole thing:

Hanson’s points are well made. The GOP had better get its act together.

Biden Says Doctors Told Him He Looks ‘Too Young’ After Physical

By: Johnathan Jones, The Western Journal — February 29th 2024 at 07:00

President Joe Biden joked on Wednesday that doctors told him he looked “too young” after he underwent an annual physical earlier in the morning.

Biden, 81, cracked the joke amid speculation about what doctors could have discovered while evaluating him earlier that morning as questions mount as to whether he is mentally or physically fit to serve another term in the White House.

While he spoke to reporters, he was asked about his physical and what his doctors had to say.

“They think I look too young,” he said.

— Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) February 28, 2024

Biden added “Everything’s great” regarding his health and concluded, “There is nothing different than last year.”

According to NBC News, Biden underwent a routine physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland and was pronounced “fit for duty.”

White House physician Kevin C. O’Connor wrote in a summary of the exam that Biden “fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.”

As The New York Post noted, Biden did not alert the public of the doctor’s visit ahead of time and the appointment was not on his schedule.

The visit was only learned about Wednesday morning when Biden was departing the White House and shouted at reporters.

“I’m going to Walter Reed to get my physical,” he said.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about Biden’s physical during her daily media briefing on Wednesday afternoon.

She was evasive when pressed on the matter of Biden’s health and whether he should take a cognitive test, NBC News reported.

When asked why Biden was not making his personal physician available to the media, Jean-Pierre referred to his brief comments on the visit to Walter Reed.

“The president said that they thought that he was too young,” she said. “You heard from the president, he talked about this when he was asked.”

Biden’s age and fitness have been the source of questions for years.

The president’s health finally received widespread media coverage last month, when Justice Department special counsel Robert Hur said he did not charge Biden in his classified documents case because of his age and mental state.

A report from Hur stated Biden had severe memory issues when interviewed and that had he been charged and tried for mishandling sensitive information, sympathetic jurors might have viewed him as a forgetful old man.

Why Are We Still Reliant on China for Our Biosecurity?

By: Guest Contributor — February 29th 2024 at 07:15

This story originally was published by Real Clear Wire

By Matthew Turpin
Real Clear Wire

The reports out of China arrived just before Thanksgiving. A surge in respiratory infections among children in the northern part of the country triggered a sense of foreboding — and Deja-vu. Meetings between the World Health Organization and Chinese officials quickly followed.

The WHO’s conclusions brought some relief. The surge was caused by an “immunity gap” in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, wherein children had few defenses against influenza and other respiratory infections after years of quarantine.

This episode should be a wake-up call for the U.S. national security establishment. We remain reliant on other nations, including countries of concern, like China, for critical intelligence needed to defend against biological dangers — whether naturally occurring, mistakenly released, or purposefully engineered.

That needs to change. It starts with expanded investment in the technological infrastructure that can monitor for and detect dangerous pathogens that could devastate our nation and economy.

Since COVID-19, we’ve all become familiar with the risk posed by novel infectious diseases with pandemic potential. Just 30,000 base pairs of RNA — roughly one one-hundred-thousandth as many as the human genome contains — managed to shut down our planet.

And, as we know from our experience with the last pandemic, time is essential to stopping the spread and minimizing danger to people. We need a strategy for the rapid identification and understanding of emerging threats, as well as timely countermeasures once a threat has been intercepted.

A sophisticated bio surveillance or “bio radar” network would include collection points where pathogens are most at risk of emerging or being identified as threats — including airports, borders, conflict zones, labs, and farms. Once bio radar systems leveraging DNA sequencing have detected a threat, we can create a digital fingerprint of the suspect pathogen’s genetic material and begin analyzing the level of risk and mitigation options. This creates true bio intelligence, or BIOINT.

Artificial intelligence tuned to biological information like this can quickly begin analyzing the data collected from bio radar systems. And by learning to “speak DNA” the way chatbots can speak English, AI has the potential to identify anomalies and quickly inform development of genomic-informed countermeasures.

Today, nodes in this bio radar network are already at work. We just need to connect the dots of this biosecurity infrastructure and expand its scale.

Take the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance program, which swabs international travelers arriving at various international airports. In August 2023, the Dulles International Airport location outside Washington D.C. flagged a sample from a U.S. resident returning from a multi-week trip to Japan. Analysis revealed that the traveler was carrying a new SARS-CoV-2 variant. After sequencing the variant, American authorities notified their counterparts in Japan.

This same program identified the Omicron variant when it first arrived in the United States 43 days before it showed up in a clinical setting.

In other words, existing bio surveillance tools can find dangerous or novel pathogens before we would otherwise know they exist.

Acting on that information in a timely fashion could help save lives — or even eliminate outbreaks or biological threats. Despite the lag in receiving information on SARS-CoV-2 from China, it didn’t take long for scientists to develop mRNA vaccine candidates against COVID-19 that proved effective.

In its 2023 Biodefense Posture Review, the U.S. Department of Defense singles out four nations — North Korea, Russia, Iran, and the People’s Republic of China — as either having active offensive bioweapons programs or developing concerning dual-use capabilities in this area.

We should assume that countries the United States considers adversaries are already at work on genetically engineered pathogens and other violations of the Biological Weapons Convention.

And yet, public health experts have consistently downplayed biothreats. The United Nations characterizes COVID-19 as a “once-in-a-lifetime pandemic”and the New England Journal of Medicine labels it a “once-in-a-century” event.

Biothreats are a much more immediate danger. They’re potentially more catastrophic than most other risks. We build early-warning systems for hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. We build them for missile launches and the transport of nuclear material. The public and private sectors spend billions each year on cybersecurity. Why isn’t there a similar urgency about biosecurity?

There’s no time to waste in addressing this truly neglected dimension of global security. We should be building a sophisticated bio radar, bio intelligence, and biosecurity system now before the next pandemic — engineered or otherwise — is at our doorstep.

It’s actually embarrassing to watch Congress rant about mental health and what is right while they parade a hospice patient around the world who belongs in bed.

It’s time to let Joe Biden go, and I am sure preaching to the choir.

That man has been in Congress for almost 50 years.  He’s so out of it that if the version of Biden, who said he didn’t want his kids growing up in a “racial jungle,” could see himself now hosting LGBT parties at the white house, he would be appalled.

It’s wild, and I am ready for November 2024 to get here so we can finally retire Biden and get the country back on track.

Trump 2024.

John Mills: Suddenly, a Notebook is Discussed that Connects Gina Haspel with the Coup Against Trump

By: John Mills — February 29th 2024 at 07:45

By Retired Colonel John Mills on Substack

An October 6, 2016, Dinner, there was only one reason this retired, very senior FBI Official was in London: To coordinate the Russia Hoax with CIA Chief of Station at the request of James Comey

Excerpt from “The Nation Will Follow” Chapter 4 “A Dinner in London”:

“What I did know was that many of the faces I saw were Hillary supporters. I was one of a very small number of Trump supporters in the room. And I was okay with that. I am not above having dinner with the opposition, and I try not to judge people by their political affiliation. We all have reasons for supporting who we support, as long as they are the right reason: for the benefit of the nation.

So, we broke the ice and introduced ourselves. These were only meant to be quick introductions, there were over fifty people in the room, but it seemed my “friend,” the man I traveled with, did not get the memo.

He stood, introduced himself, and like a Hollywood characterization of what a senior law enforcement official should be like, he ranted to the room.

“Trump is a traitor! He is a Russian asset, is being groomed by Putin for a position at the top and represents the greatest threat to national security the United States has ever seen. And we’re going to prove it!” I stiffened in my chair, taken aback by this outburst. Never, at any stage in our journey, did he give any indication that this was his plan. But in that moment, it clicked in my mind as to why he never revealed to me his reason for traveling. I guess I had found it.

As he dove into his highly unusual tirade, I was shocked to see several people lean forward into their chairs, for the first time in the evening paying rapt attention to what was being said.

The thing about this guy is that he is engaging. He adopted a character that was over-the-top and completely unlike his usual face and used it. Maybe I was seeing him with the mask off, a mask that he had clearly worn for years as he hid his true allegiances. “

Michigan ‘Check My Vote’ Election Integrity Group Publishes Blistering Response to NY Times Hack Reporter’s Attack on Their Work Before Times Piece Goes to Print

By: Patty McMurray — February 29th 2024 at 08:00

Alexandra Berzon is a self-proclaimed “election denier movement” reporter for the New York Times.

Unfortunately, Ms. Berzon appears to be singularly focused on infiltrating and demonizing election integrity groups that have revealed election fraud or election officials like Democrat SOS Jocelyn Benson, who are making it easier to cheat in elections in the state of Michigan.

MI Democrat SOS Jocelyn Benson pictured next to a voter application sent to a foreign exchange student who was never a resident of Michigan or citizen of the US.

 

On November 7, 2022, Ms. Berzon published her first hit piece on election integrity volunteers in Michigan.

From the NYTs article:

Republican activists, lawyers and elected officials in Michigan who call the results of the 2020 election fraudulent would unite with a single focus: “to provide ongoing citizen oversight, transparency, and accountability” in elections. They adopted the name Michigan Fair Elections and the simple slogan, “Choose Freedom.”

Over the next months, the participants got to work trying to remake democracy in the nation’s 10th largest state under the banner of integrity.

They recruited and trained challengers to spot and document minute ballot irregularities; filed lawsuits to undermine protections for the vote-counting process; and debated the merits of calling 911 on poll workers deemed to be violating rules. In weekly Zoom meetings, they discussed friendly insiders positioned on Michigan canvassing boards, which certify results; repeated debunked conspiracy theories about election machines, ballot “mules” and widespread voter fraud; and obsessed over the idea that Democrats “cheat” to win elections.

What Ms. Berzon calls an obsession, most Americans would call one of the most precious rights we have in America, the right to free and fair elections. If evidence pointed to Republicans cheating to win elections, Michigan-based MFE, a non-partisan election integrity group, would be first to investigate it, but unfortunately, to date, voter fraud in Michigan has almost solely been funded by Democrats and implemented by dishonest Democrat leadership like SOS Jocelyn Benson. For instance, in 2020, without permission, SOS Benson mailed 7.7 million unsolicited absentee ballot applications; she told clerks across Michigan to ignore signature matching on absentee ballots.

We spoke with Pure Integrity Michigan Elections (PIME) and Michigan Fair Elections (MFE) founder Patrice Johnson, who explained that it is her understanding that Alexandra Berzon somehow gained access to their Zoom calls.  According to Patrice Johnson, despite a clear disclaimer that MFE reads before every meeting that states they do not allow the press to attend their meetings or that attendees are prohibited from recording the meetings, Ms Berzon claims she was able to gain access to “20 hours of recordings of Michigan Fair Elections” meetings.

In her article on MFE, Ms. Berzon wrote: Someone with access to video and audio recordings of the calls shared them with The Times. Several participants confirmed the material’s authenticity.

Is this the same New York Times that regularly mocks James O’Keefe for his style of reporting, which includes undercover recording of individuals in states where it’s legal or where there isn’t a disclaimer telling him that taping is prohibited?

In her attempted smear of MFE, the most respected election integrity group in Michigan, the self-proclaimed “election denier movement” reporter Alexandra Berzon blames President Trump for the majority of Americans who, after 2020, no longer trust elections. “Election officials and governance experts say that if there is an erosion of trust in elections, Mr. Trump and his supporters are causing it,” she wrote.

Last week, Ms. Berzon reached out to Jane Iyer, Livingston County Republican Party Secretary, and Genesee County lead for CMV (Check My Vote), where she oversees the voter roll cleanup.

Here is a series of email exchanges between the New York Times reporter and Janine Iyer:

Subject: New York Times reporter trying to urgently reach Janine

Hi Janine, I’m working on a story about voter challenges in Michigan and other states and was hoping to talk to you about your work with Michigan Fair Elections and doing training on Check My Vote/ Soles to the Rolls and submitting challenge requests to Genoa County.

I’m hoping to talk for a story I’m working on that may mention this work. Can you please give me a call back as we may mention in the story some of your comments from training sessions as well as some details around the Genoa challenges. I would love to fact check/run this by you and also seek any and all comment or clarification before the story runs. My number is ———. Thanks so much. Best,
Alexandra

Alexandra Berzon
Reporter – New York Times

Hello Alexandra,

Thank you for your interest in our work (Check My Vote & Soles to the Rolls) and for reaching out. It was great chatting with you.

Reflecting on your questions about Check My Vote & Soles to the Rolls, I want to be clear that

1) Our goal is an accurate, qualified voter file, not at all to “disenfranchise” voters. Please make that clear in your article. Michigan law is written such that it is virtually impossible to disenfranchise voters, for instance, same-day registration & voting.

2) Our efforts are bipartisan. We don’t “target” any specific areas – volunteers work within their own jurisdictions, wherever that is.

3) We are following Michigan law, providing affidavits signed by residents of the registration address attesting to the fact that a registrant at the address with active voter status does not live there. The vast majority of residents (~90%) are willing to attest to the facts. The people also want accuracy of the voter rolls.

Michigan residents saw loads of ballots show up without chain of custody behind the TCF Center more than 7 hours after close of the polls. Ask why would loads of ballots show up 7 hours after close of polls when the furthest precinct from TCF is under an hour’s drive.

Ask why Republican poll challengers were not allowed back into the TCF Center after they went to lunch or to the bathroom and why cardboard was put up against the glass windows to prevent these poll challengers from seeing what was going on inside TCF Center AVCB processing center.

Michigan residents have asked and did not receive any answers. That’s why some residents have undertaken these efforts. And when we talk to neighbors, most thank us for what we are doing.

You mentioned that the Genoa Twp clerk stated that it costs $8 per certified mail, and that makes following the law cost-prohibitive. I think you should fact-check that with USPS. When we have challenged registrations in other jurisdictions, they readily sent out a notice of challenge post card without objecting about the cost.

Compare the cost of sending 120 certified challenge postcards to sending 5000-7000 absentee ballots through the mail and compare that to preparing, staffing and providing election materials for 9 days of early voting. All three actions are currently required of clerks by Michigan election law. Certainly, sending the 120 certified postcards is the least costly, so why object to that and not the other requirements? In fact, the new MI law of holding a minimum of nine (9) days of early voting costs is the costliest by orders of magnitude (staffing 4-5 election inspectors for 10-hour days for nine days, materials for each early voting day, etc.).

You also said that the Genoa clerk stated that the meeting to present the challenged registration was contentious. I think she is mixing that meeting with another meeting, an election commission meeting, when individuals NOT involved in our Soles to the Rolls effort were in attendance and were the contentious ones. Please review our clerk’s reply to the ACLU FOIA, and you’ll read that our clerk stated that she appreciated our help in identifying registrations of residents who have permanently moved out of our township.

4) We do respectfully ask the clerks to follow the law by following through on the information we present to them. However, it is also up to them as to what they do with it and how they follow up. They are answerable to state and federal law, as well as to their constituents when they’re up for re-election. Clerks in my county generally follow through on a registration challenge by changing the registration status from an Active to a Challenge or Verify status until he/she hears back from the registrant within 30 days per MI law. However, this may come as a shocker to you, but not all clerks are conscientious and follow through. We, as canvassers, do not hold the authority to make changes to the Qualified Voter File. Only the local clerks and the SOS Bureau of Elections have that authority. The volunteer citizens do the field investigation and bring the resulting information to the local clerk. What is done with it is in the clerk’s hands.

Another point I would like to make: Putting a registration on Challenge or Verify doesn’t “disenfranchise” the voter; the voter need only show the full address on their current driver’s license or other residential proof or sign an affidavit to proceed to vote, per Michigan law.

I did reach out to Tim and Phani about calling you. (Janine is referring to CMV co-founders Tim Vetter and Phani Matravadi.) They are not interested due to the bias often reflected in the NYT. I do like to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove me wrong, and that’s why I answered your questions. I do not wish our efforts to be misrepresented by you, so I have clearly stated here the reasons and intentions behind our efforts.

Thanks again,

Janine

CMV Developer and Designer Phani Mantravadi agreed to answer the questions given to Janine Iyer by Alexandra Berzon. In addition to questions asked by the New York Times reporter, she also clarifies that she “may” include certain statements in her article. We’re unsure if she’s seeking approval or clarification or if she’s warning she is about to publish information that may or may not be accurate.

Here is how Phani responded to the questions for the article that Ms. Berzon has not yet published:

NYT: We may report that Michigan Fair Elections has been working with Check My Vote and the Michigan GOP

Phani: CMV works with MIGOP and MFE Soles to Rolls project. MFE does not work with MIGOP. I’m not sure on the details of the first connection with MIGOP.

TGP commentary: MFE is a non-partisan group. Ms. Berzon surely knows this, but appears to be setting a trap for the Check My Vote co-founders, hoping they will say that the MFE group works in violation of their non-partisan status with the Michigan GOP.

NYT: Our understanding is that you are a manufacturing equipment engineer for auto plants from Grand Rapids- is that correct or is there any clarification – would it be correct to just say you are an engineer?

TGP commentary: No response was given to this question, which has nothing to do with Phani’s volunteer work with CMV. The only purpose for asking this question is to doxx him.

NYT: We may report on presentations you have given where you’ve explained that your program looks for addresses that have an unusually high number of registered voters and for small discrepancies like missing apartment or trailer park numbers.

Phani: The CMV website provides the data on all MI registrations. It can report how many registrations at each registration address and these can be sorted high to low and low to high. It doesn’t “look for” high numbers, per se. As far as missing apartment numbers and trailer park lot numbers, MCL 168.495 (b) identifies such registrations as incomplete, not a “small discrepancy.”

Consider the case in which a registrant requests an absentee ballot. How will the mail carrier know which mailbox to deliver the ballot if the apartment number is not included in the registration? This is a chain of custody issue and an important detail. CVM identifies these incomplete registrations–I think it’s a great service.

An example of a non-existent address found by CMV that has multiple fake apartment numbers, fake suite numbers, and fake unit numbers mixed in with numbers with the # prefix. This single non-existent address had 19 registered voters, of which eight individuals voted in the 2020 and 2022 elections.

NYT: We also may report on training sessions where you’ve noted that the software often flags dense areas like Detroit and that a key area of focus should be Washtenaw County. Is there any comment or clarification?

Phani: Yes, this is a complete misunderstanding on your part. Let me explain:

The software (website) DOES NOT flag anything. Only users with personal knowledge of the situation flags registrations. Tim’s reports are merely OBSERVATIONS that, for example, Detroit and other cities have the most registration addresses with 5 or more registrants per address (compare this to census information that the average number of occupants per address is 2.4 persons).

NYT: We have spoken to some elections officials who say that this way of identifying false registrations is not useful and could lead to targeting lower income people, immigrants and students. What is your response to this critique?

Phani: We are not “targeting” anyone. Tim has merely MADE OBSERVATIONS. No one volunteering for the Soles to the Rolls project, to my knowledge, has done any work in Detroit or Washtenaw County.

TGP commentary: Why would the New York Times reporter equate cleaning up the voter rolls by removing illegitimate, dead, or moved voters to “targeting” lower-income people, [illegal]immigrants and students?” Is she suggesting that volunteers using criteria like multiple votes cast by one individual voter with a unique voter ID, or 36 people living at one residential address or 19 individuals registered to vote at a non-existent address, or people over the age of 100 who haven’t voted in 20 years, but suddenly voted in 2020 and 2022, are being unfairly flagged? Is she suggesting that the status of the “voters” is only being investigated by CMV because of their socioeconomic status, citizenship status, or age?

NYT: The Times has identified four cities or towns that have received challenges from activists tied to Check My Vote: Genoa, Waterford, Portage and Dewitt – can you please let me know if there is any comment or clarification? In the spirit of transparency can you list the other jurisdictions where Check My Vote/Soles to the Rolls has challenged voters and/or how many? Do you know how many voters have been challenged and how many removed or marked verify/challenged?

TGP commentary: Is the New York Times reporter asking questions about specific areas where CMV is currently investigating illegitimate voters to help Dem SOS Jocelyn Benson remove names of “registered” voters before discrepancies like the 19 voters registered at one address in Holland, MI, are discovered and reported? Shortly after the Holland Police Department turned over their investigation into the fake address in Holland, where eight voters voted in the 2020 and 2022 elections, the fake address, along with all 19 names, were removed from the voter rolls with no public comment from the MI SOS or BOE (Board of Elections)offices.

NYT: What level of verification do you/Check My Vote believe is needed in order to make valid challenges – we found that in at least one jurisdiction a resident was relying primarily on the National Change of Address form, which elections officials say on its own is not enough to remove someone from the rolls since they could be away temporarily. How do you account for that risk of disenfranchising or making it harder for legitimate voters to vote?

My recommendation to all Soles to the Rolls volunteers is (and my training reflects this) to personally verify with a physical visit any registration one is bringing to the clerk for a challenge. The level of verification should be PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE by visiting the registration address. I’m not completely familiar with how the Waterford volunteer decided on his list of challenges. I have alerted volunteers in my presentations as well as during internal online meetings that if you are going to use NCOA data to make sure by looking at the raw data that the NCOA moves are all categorized as permanent moves.

Our understanding based on internal Michigan Fair Election meetings is that Tim has said the Check My Vote system will flag the voters and then track and send alerts if they wind up voting. Do you have any comment or clarification on how this will work and what its purpose is?

Again, the CMV website DOES NOT flag ANYTHING. Users with personal knowledge of the registration do the flagging. It’s only on these registrations that any tracking is done.

TGP commentary: Did Ms. Berzon really ask the purpose of flagging and then sending alerts when voters who’ve been identified as living out of state, living in prison, living at fake or non-existent addresses, already voted absentee and then voted again on Election Day, voters over the age of 100, or voters who are not American citizens?)

Thanks very much. Best,
Alexandra

In a follow-up email, Alexandra appears to have realized her question, which appears to be designed to trap the CMV volunteers into falsely claiming the non-partisan MFE is working with the MI GOP, was not very cleverly disguised and re-asked the question:

NYT: apologies – allow me to correct one thing and then I have a few additional things. For the first point, I meant to write:

We may report that Check My Vote has been working with the Michigan GOP and Michigan Fair Elections on its Soles to the Rolls project. Any comment or clarification on how you are working with these groups?

Additional:

NYT: We understand that Check My Vote has shared data with the Trump team and was cited in the recent election integrity report that President Trump promoted. Can you tell us who you shared this information with and was it the legal team or the campaign team? Any other comment or clarification.

TGP commentary: Why in the world should anyone at CMV have to disclose to the Trump-hating NYTs who, if anyone, at the Trump legal team or campaign they’ve shared their work with? 

NYT: We understand that Check My Vote was developed with help and mentorship from Patrick Colbeck, one of Mike Lindell’s top officials on election work and gets some of its underlying data (the National Change of Address lists) from Mr. Lindell’s elections operation. Is there any comment or clarification on this?

TGP commentary: It’s a cute little attempt to tie Mike Lindell, who the NYTs loves to discredit, to the incredible work CCMV is doing to clean up the voter rolls in MI—work that taxpayers in the State of MI are paying the ridiculous leftist ERIC group to do.

NYT: Our understanding is that Check My Vote has been recently expanding its data analysis to New York, New Mexico and Ohio. Are you working with local groups in those places? Are there other states you plan to expand to?

TGP commentary: Does Ms. Berzon ask George Soros in which states he plans to invest millions to ensure advocates of mail-in-ballots for all, like Democrat Secretaries of State Jocelyn Benson (whose candidacy he supported), are in place when the largest election heist in American history is pulled off during lockdowns over a man-made Chinese virus?  

Speaking of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson—Ms. Berzon has one last (she hopes) question before she publishes her story:

NYT: and one last one (I hope)

The Secretary of State’s office has sent a letter to clerks telling them that removing voters from the rolls in response to these challenges could be a violation of federal law that requires that voters who are suspected of having moved be placed on a count-down list for two federal election cycles before they are removed from the rolls in order to make sure people aren’t wrongly removed by mistake. Do you have any comment on this guidance?

TGP commentary: This final statement, of course, sounds like more of a warning to CMV and local clerks that they better not remove any voters identified by the NOCA (National Change of Address) before the next election because if they do, they will likely be facing federal charges.

From Alexandra Berzon’s New York Times profile:

Since joining The Times in 2022, I’ve largely covered the election denial movement and its influence on American politics.

What, exactly, is an “election denial movement”?

My reporting also revealed sexual misconduct allegations against the casino mogul Steve Wynn, which led to him resigning from the company he founded. I contributed to The Journal’s Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of secret payments by Donald Trump to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.

Steve Wynn is a billionaire and a major political donor to Donald J. Trump’s campaign.

I don’t participate in political activism or make political donations. I am always guided by the facts and strive for absolute accuracy and thoroughness in my reporting.

We looked at Ms. Berzon’s Twitter account, hoping to discover how non-partisan she is. While she is passionate about exposing child labor, for which we applaud her efforts, it’s fairly clear the disdain she has for Republicans, based on her obsession with re-tweeting bad news about them, especially when it comes to President Trump.

Alexandra retweeted a post mocking President Trump for urging Republicans to vote early after he was against the practice of early voting in 2020.

With a world on fire and the media begging for “President” Biden to make a statement while he fights with his brain to put together a coherent sentence, this seems like a pretty important retweet.

Alexandra also retweeted an article by fellow NYTs hack reporter Maggie Haberman, who claims President Trump and his allies are planning to maximize presidential power in his second term.

Maybe Alexandra missed the news about Joe Biden’s college loan forgiveness program, which he had no authority to implement.

Alexandra also retweeted an article about the lawfare being used against 16 alternate GOP electors in Michigan, who are mostly senior citizens. These elderly men and women, who are victims of partisan hack Democrat AG Dana Nessel, could spend the rest of their lives in prison if convicted of all eight felonies they have been charged with.

The self-proclaimed “election denier movement” reporter also tweeted a post about how the WSJ is calling the bombshell movie “2000 Mules” “total horseshit.”

Funny, Ms. Berzon never asked The Gateway Pundit about the videos we released of multiple individuals in Detroit, including USPS workers dropping off stacks of ballots into drop boxes, that according to MI election law, can only be dropped off by the voter or members of their immediate family.

If you’re interested in helping Check My Vote clean up the voter rolls, please go HERE to apply. All applicants who are interested in volunteering will be vetted.

REVEALED: Nathan Wade Attorney’s Text Messages to Trump Co-Defendant’s Attorney Reveal He LIED in Court and Fani Willis Started Dating Nathan Wade Before Taking Office! (FULL TEXT CHAIN INCLUDED)

By: Jordan Conradson — February 29th 2024 at 08:15
Terrence Bradley drips in sweat on the witness stand – February 27

Fani Willis lied! Nathan Wade lied! Terrence Bradley lied! We don’t know what the hell Fani Willis’s father was talking about! And Robin Yearti told the truth!

The Gateway Pundit has obtained a copy of a text exchange between Nathan Wade’s divorce attorney and former law partner, Terrence Bradley, and Trump co-defendant Michael Roman’s attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, that was admitted as evidence in the Fani Willis disqualification hearing.

The two were texting back and forth as early as September 14, 2023, and as late as February 6, 2024, according to the text receipts.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Earlier this month, Fani Willis and Nathan Wade were subpoenaed to testify at an evidentiary hearing thanks to a lawsuit filed by Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman.

Judge Scott McAfee previously said Fani Willis may be disqualified from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

The Gateway Pundit reported extensively on the testimony in the previous hearings by Nathan Wade, Fani Willis, and Fani’s ex-Black Panther daddy.

Terrence Bradley was back on the stand on Tuesday after previously refusing to answer questions and hiding behind attorney-client privilege. However, Judge Scott McAfee ruled he was not protected by attorney-client privilege and ordered him to testify Tuesday morning.

Throughout yesterday’s hearing, Bradley ducked questions from attorneys for Trump and Trump’s co-defendants about when Fani Willis and Nathan Wade’s relationship started. He did not answer the questions, claiming he didn’t know or could not recall any details.

He was sweating bullets on the witness stand as he was grilled with questions that he claimed he could not answer. He now claims he cannot recall any information about Fani Willis and Nathan Wade’s relationship before Wade was appointed as a special prosecutor to the lead case.

However, according to messages he exchanged with Michael Roman’s attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, Wade previously told her that the relationship started long before Fani Willis hired Wade but that “they will deny it!” The Gateway Pundit reported on the video of him on the witness stand, denying he ever sent these messages or that he remembered having knowledge of the information he previously spouted off to Merchant.

Apparently, Bradley also told Merchant at some point that the two had sex at Fani Willis’ private law office that she rented from Andrew and Stacey Evans sometime before she even took office and that Nathan Wade even had a garage door opener to Fani Willis’ home.

One text from Merchant states, “If Stacey Evans husband is the one that caught them having sex Can’t I just subpoena him?” and Bradley responds, “I’m not sure which one I wasn’t there…you would have to subpoena them and fish it out of them…but you can’t be too direct.” 

However, when asked on the stand Tuesday about the apparent sexual encounter at the law office of Andrew Evans and Stacey Evans, Bradley claimed to have no knowledge of anything except for the fact that Willis “rented an office from the Evans.”

Read all of the messages below.

There were also questions yesterday as to why Terrence Bradley, in an email or text message exchange with Ashleigh Merchant, verified the accuracy of the information in her Motion to Disqualify Fani Willis, which seeks to have the RICO charge dismissed as well as disqualify Willis over her romantic relationship with Wade. The filing claims Nathan Wade paid for luxury vacations he took with Fani Willis to Napa Valley and a cruise in the Caribbean – and used money from Fulton County to pay for their vacations. It also states that Nathan Wade’s relationship with Fani Willis started before she hired Wade as a special prosecutor to go after Trump.

When Merchant asked Bradley to verify the accuracy of a draft of her Motion before she filed it and if anything needed to be changed, Bradley simply replied to her, saying, “Looks good.”

On Tuesday, Bradley also told Trump co-defendant David Shafer’s attorney, Craig Gillen, that he knew Merchant wanted to file her Motion to Disqualify and reviewed the Motion with all of the allegations.

Still, Bradley contended several times throughout the hearing that he was referring only to a discrepancy in the amount of money he received for previous legal services when he said, “Looks good,” despite saying this after being asked if “anything else” in the Motion looked inaccurate.

However, that’s not the only correction he made. Merchant sent a text on January 5, asking, “Is this accurate? Upon information and belief, Willis and Wade met while both were serving as Magistrate Judges and began a romantic relationship at that time.”

Bradley sent a correction, saying, “No Municipal court.”

Watch a replay of Bradley’s full testimony earlier here.

It started when she left the DA’s office and was judge in South Fulton,” said Bradley when Merchant asked when the relationship began. “But you can’t put where they met not many people know that,” Bradley added.

According to Ballotpedia, “At the time of her election as Fulton County District Attorney, Willis had worked as a Managing Attorney for the Law Office of Fani Willis, LLC since 2018, and served as Chief Magistrate Judge for the City of South Fulton, Georgia since 2019.”

As Robin Yearti, who worked in Fani Willis’s office, testified, Fani Willis and Nathan Wade started their relationship in 2019 – before Willis assigned Nathan Wade as lead prosecutor in the RICO lawfare case against President Trump. Fani Willis and Nathan Wade both lied in court, testifying earlier this month that they started a relationship AFTER Wade was appointed to lead the Trump election interference case.

The two also claimed that they met at Willis’s home no more than ten times, but according to geo-tracking data, Wade likely visited Willis’s home 35 TIMES.

It was further discovered that Wade and Willis exchanged over 2,000 voice calls and almost 12,000 text messages in the 11 months of January to November 2021 before Nathan Wade was hired.

Anything else? Anything that isn’t accurate?” Merchant asked on January 6, 2024, and Bradley responded, “Looks good.”

At one point in the messages, Bradley tells Merchant, “You are my friend and I trust you…they will not…they’re arrogant as “F”…she thinks she won the other day when she didn’t have to be deposed.” 

What made him turn his loyalty back to Fani Willis and Nathan Wade? 

Throughout the rest of the text chain, Bradley was smack-talking Fani Willis and providing tips on who Merchant should subpoena to expose Willis and Wade’s unethical relationship and illegal reimbursements. Bradley also told Merchant who would deny what if they were subpoenaed or say they don’t know or don’t recall, as he did on the stand yesterday. They also discussed the trips Fani Willis and Nathan Wade took together, including vacations and when Wade helped Fani Willis move her daughter across the country after “her daughter flunked out of FAMU and moved to Cali” — all of which Terrence Bradley denied on the stand in court!

she needs to fire nathan but she wont,” said Bradley.

Bradley also commented on Fani Willis’s January 14 stunt at Big Bethel AME Church, where she lied in response to the allegations of misusing funds and having a proper relationship with Nathan Wade for the first time and claimed that Wade was only being attacked because of his race. “I hated her Pandering to the black church….he was good enough for the white Republicans in good Ole Cobb County but not good enough for me what’s the difference,” said Bradley!

“Any idea who I could get an affidavit from on the affair?” Merchant asked at one point. Bradley replied, “No…no one would freely burn that bridge.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Judge Scott McAfee is expected to make a ruling on the Motion to Disqualify Fani Willis and the Motion to Dismiss the indictment against Trump and 18 co-defendants after the hearing and closing arguments on Friday.

WATCH: Nathan Wade had Garage Door Opener to Fani Willis’ Home, Had Sex With Fani Willis at Her Law Office BEFORE She Was DA According to Trump Co-Defendant’s Attorney – Attorney Says Terrence Bradley Previously Gave Her This Information

Mcafee is a recently appointed Fulton County Superior Court judge who previously served under Fani Willis at the District Attorney’s office. Hopefully, he makes the correct and just decision and disqualifies his former employer and corrupt District Attorney, Fani Willis, from her sloppy political witchhunt against President Trump. He should also have Fani Willis, Nathan Wade, and Terrence Bradley jailed and convicted of perjury for lying to the court.

“Until We Take Away Their Power – They Will Continue to Do This” – MSNBC Contributor Calls on Democrats to Strip Power from the Supreme Court After Trump Ruling (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hoft — February 29th 2024 at 08:30

On Wednesay, the US Supreme Court agreed to hear the question of whether Donald Trump has immunity from criminal prosecution, and specifically, whether he can evade charges lodged against him tied to the alleged insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. For the record, Trump has never been charged with an insurrection despite the media talking points.

The high court will hear oral arguments on an expedited schedule the week of April 22 and decide by the end of the term in June or sooner.

Judge Tanya Chutkan announced she was postponing her March 4 trial date indefinitely as Trump’s immunity argument makes its way through the courts.

Jack Smith’s January trial against President Trump may be postponed past November.

Democrats did not take this news very well. They were hoping to bankrupt and jail President Trump by Election Day 2024 just like any other violent regime in the past.

MSNBC took the news expecially hard.

Unhinged contributor Elie Mystal, from The Nation magazine called on Democrats to “deal with” the Supreme Court.

It’s become impossible for Democrats to wage an all-out war on the American people when they don’t control the Supreme Court.

Elie Mystal: What it says is that they are corrupted political actors who act in bad faith. The reason why people like Mark and people like Dahlia seem to have a crystal ball is because they’re real, because they’re realists, and they understand the court for what it is.

And at some point, people in the media, people at home, and people sitting in the White House have to stop pretending that the Supreme Court is some kind of benign ‘trying to do its best’ institution and start to realize that there are six Republicans, not conservatives, Republicans on the Supreme Court, who view it as their job to help the Republican Party.

And until we do something about that, until we take away that power, until we draw the line on them there, they will continue to do this. They will help Trump. They will take away abortion rights. They will end affirmative action. They will liberalize gun rights. They will do all of it until we stop them.

And somebody needs to start listening in the higher echelons of the Democratic party, because we will keep losing every day we allow these six Republicans in robes to rule over all of us.

Democrats are outraged that Trump may get a fair hearing in the Supreme Court. That goes against their principles.

It does appear Mystal is putting the Supreme Court justices in serious danger. Last year a young would-be assassin was arrested outside Justice Kavanaugh’s home.

MSNBC is promoting violence. When is Chris Wray going to arrest this guy?

Non-State Actors: Growing National Security Threat

By: Antonio Graceffo — February 29th 2024 at 08:45

“Armies are always training to fight the last war.”  Old military saying.

The Houthi attacks on merchant vessels in the Red Sea serve as a stark reminder of the threat non-state actors pose to the security of the United States and the world. Australia’s dispatch of its navy to participate in Operation Prosperity Guardian, despite being half a world away from its shores, underscores the global nature of the crisis posed by non-state actors. With their emergence, traditional concepts and strategies of warfare are rapidly becoming outdated, prompting a critical need for a new approach to national defense. Simply relying on conventional military might is no longer sufficient; the Department of Defense must adapt and innovate to effectively counter evolving threats.

Simultaneously, the ongoing threat from state actors armed with conventional and nuclear weapons underscores the complexity of modern security challenges. Additionally, the potential for state sponsorship of or influence on non-state actors introduces further complexity, requiring military strategists to adopt a balanced and nuanced approach to effectively tackle these diverse threats.

Transnational terrorist organizations and transnational crime groups are growing in number and in their geographic range. Islamic extremist groups have cells all over the world and are often aligned with local crime or terrorist organizations. Transnational organized crime, such as “mafia” from Russia, China, or Albania, is engaging in a wide variety of business lines from prostitution to drugs and gambling. Increasingly, financial crimes such as telephone and internet scams or credit card theft or cloning can be traced back to these groups. The internet and modern telecommunications allow them to work from anywhere in the world. AI and language tools help them overcome natural barriers that once suppressed their activities. And open US borders allow these groups to place agents within the U.S.

The Mexican drug cartels are a prime example of a modern, transnational crime organization. In addition to flooding America’s streets with illicit drugs, they are also the largest human traffickers, bringing illegals into the United States. They have associations with street gangs in the US who help with drug distribution, managing prostitution, as well as doing collection and enforcement. Throughout Latin America, cartels have destabilized the local governments and economic system to such a point that they are driving a flood of illegal immigration into the United States.

Russia’s private military company (PMC), Wagner Group, or Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Force (IRGF) operate in theaters ranging from Africa and the Middle East to Central and South America. They provide training, weapons, sometimes money, and combat support to despicable actors around the globe. While the Kremlin or Tehran may be controlling the reins of these attack dogs, both governments can claim plausible deniability and dispatch these forces to undertake operations that would trigger an international incident or a war if conducted by uniformed armies.

State-supported militias are changing the face of warfare. The United States was accused of war crimes for bombing Houthi positions in Yemen, with critics arguing that Yemen and the Houthis are not synonymous. And while bombing Tehran would most likely cripple the IRGC’s destabilizing activities, it would be considered a crime under international law.

Along with the rise of state-supported threat actors are private companies that sell their services to combatants. Elon Musk’s SpaceX aerospace company provided Starlink terminals to Kyiv, and the Canadian geo-intelligence firm MDA provided the Ukrainians with satellite imagery to track Russian troop movements. These are examples of Western firms aiding “the good guys” as chosen by their governments. But what about foreign firms from threat countries assisting the “baddies”?

The US is now sanctioning or considering sanctioning a number of Chinese firms that are aiding Russia. At the same time, China, taking a cue from Russia’s Wagner Group, is expanding its Private Security Companies (PSC), deploying them around the world. Compared to Wagner, there is much less risk that they would actively engage in combat, but they pose a tremendous espionage and diplomatic power threat, as they saturate pockets of the globe where China has investment interests.

Cyber threats, hacking, are a growing area of concern for the US government. These can come from state actors, non-state actors, private companies working on behalf of a foreign government, or transnational criminal or terrorist organizations. With the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital platforms, small, well-equipped, and well-trained groups can pose as great a threat as a large conventional military, taking down US infrastructure, telecommunications, or financial networks. Unmanned systems (UxS), killer drones, and additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing) multiply the danger.

The new nature of warfare is that wars are undeclared and unconventional. A response from the US military would be called a war crime by the international community. And so, each threat is being handled in isolation, and the resolution of one attack does not prevent the next one. To adequately protect the nation, the intelligence agencies, along with Homeland Security, Space Force, and the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Agency (CSIA), will play a larger role. At the same time, because these threats can emerge from anywhere at any time, there are likely to be restrictions on personal freedoms in the US, a precedent most of us do not want to see.

Bereaved J6 Parent Ed Lang Protests Outside DC Courthouse After 3 Years of His Son’s Incarceration Without Trial – And Now His Son Has Gone Missing in the System (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hoft — February 29th 2024 at 09:00
J6 Parent Ed Lang protests corrupt Biden Regime after his son who has been held in prison for 3 years without trial goes missing in the prison system.

US Marshals transferred J6 political prisoners Ryan Samsel and Jake Lang from the DC Gulag earlier this month to an undisclosed location, and no one knows where they are.

Jail guards forced Samsel and Lang to adhere to a temperature check around 7 pm the night before their move, a typical indication that within hours, any semblance of normalcy would be torpedoed, and they would be mysteriously transferred to another jail in another state.

At approximately 4 am in the morning, Samsel and Lang were chained and shackled in black box cuffs and thrown on a bus and were provided no information about where they would be taken.

The two high-profile January 6 defendants could be transferred to any jail across the United States or even housed in a maximum security prison at the BOP’s discretion.

J6 political prisoner Jake Lang was arrested on January 16th, 2021, and remains incarcerated without bail or trial for over THREE YEARS now.

On January 6, 2021 Jake attended the protest and rally in Washington DC because he believed the election was stolen from Donald Trump. Jake was one in a million Trump supporters who turned out that day to hear President Trump speak at the Ellipse in Washington DC.

Later that day, Jake walked to the US Capitol, where he was gassed and trampled when Capitol Police pushed Trump supporters down the stairs. Jake was nearly killed.

Jake save Philip Anderson’s life that day from the horrific abuse by Capitol Police after Philip was knocked out under a pile of bodies the police pushed on top of him.

Now Jake is sitting behind bars without trial – and it is not clear where the regime is holding him.  The Biden regime hates this man, Jake Lang, because he continues to speak out on his innocence and refuses to bow down to this abusive administration.

** If you’d like to support the January 6 political prisoners, please visit SponsorJ6.com.

On Wednesday, Jake Lang’s father took action after three years of seeing his only son abused horribly by the Biden regime.

Ed Lang stood outside the Fairman Federal Courthouse in Washington DC on behalf of his son who is now lost in the prison system.

Ed Lang: Out here protesting in front of the Fairman Federal Courthouse in Washington DC on behalf of my son and every other J6er for the inequitable unlawful political persecution of these poor J6 patriots and their families. So it’s about time we got off our sofas, get out of the house, get out to the streets, and peacefully protest. Hold these judges accountable, hold the DOJ accountable, the FBI accountable… Any citizen can be picked up off the street now and held like my son, for three years and six days as a supposed pretrial detainee held by the regime. And so I urge everyone to get out and stand up, and take this country back peacefully.

This is something we are used to reading about in Castro’s Cuba – NOT in the United States.

It’s time American’s wake up and stand up against this abuse – before it’s too late.

Christian Nationalists – Loving Their Neighbor and Loving Their Country Since 1776

By: Jim Hoft — February 29th 2024 at 09:15
US founders bow in prayer as they contemplate the formation of the greatest nation in world history.

By Tom Renz – Attorney/Author/Analyst – www.TomRenz.com and tomrenz.substack.com

While I probably do not deserve it, I am going to dub myself the face of Christian Nationalism. I am a Christian that is proud of my Christian beliefs, and I am absolutely an America first nationalist that believes that America and her interests should be first in the world. As the newly self-appointed face of Christian Nationalism in the United States, I am furious. I am furious that my faith is being misrepresented and twisted, I am furious that the enemies of freedom are lying and misrepresenting my country, and I am furious that the bought and paid for mainstream media is knowingly promoting these lies.

Let me begin with what Christian Nationalism isn’t. Christian nationalism is NOT what the mainstream media liars are calling it. According to a piece of journalistic garbage published in Axios (https://www.axios.com/2024/02/28/poll-christian-nationalism-americans-reject) Christian Nationalism is tied with things like banning books and teaching religion in schools. The propagandists behind the article failed to mention that the books these terrible “Christian Nationalists” were pushing to ban were pornography and they were requesting that the aforementioned porn was found in schools. They also failed to mention that the idea of teaching religion was less about a specific religion and more about teaching basic values of right and wrong that no society can function without.

Yes – Axios and their quasi-journalist writer (Russell Contreras) certainly know how to misrepresent the facts. The same article went on to include the highlighted gem below.

Somehow, Christianity and American Nationalism are, in the opinion of the author of this article, presented as news centered on Race, despite the fact that America has done more to end slavery, segregation, and things like apartheid than any other nation in history. Despite the fact that the nation that this author is denigrating literally and rightly created a national holiday to celebrate the greatest civil rights leader in history – Dr. Martin Luther King. Yes, according to Russell, the nation that has an entire month dedicated to acknowledging black history is a nation that is represented by whiteness.

Russell then goes on to claim that Christian Nationalists want to make some sort of magical legal proclamation that Christianity should be legally declared a Christian nation and we should become some sort of church-state. Of course, Neither Axios nor Russell presents anything approximating evidence of this position, but why to let journalistic integrity get in the way of a good story, right? This article even goes so far as to suggest that Christian Nationalists somehow oppose democracy despite the fact that we are actually a republic and so this is entirely irrelevant… but again, it helps position the hit piece, and who cares about facts?

Essentially Axios and Russell are promoting the same lies the rest of the media is pushing. While the question we should all be asking is who is behind the war on America and Christianity, I want to move on to explain why I so proudly stand as a Christian Nationalist.

Britannica defines a nationalist here (https://www.britannica.com/topic/nationalism) as: “nationalism, ideology based on the premise that the individual’s loyalty and devotion to the nation-state surpass other individual or group interests.” In other words, a nationalist would believe that an American should be loyal to America and be an American first. While this may sound disturbing to some I would ask what is wrong with being loyal to a nation that stands for protecting the inalienable rights bestowed on all people by the creator listed in the Declaration of Independence? Why shouldn’t I take a stand for a nation that has freed slaves and ended segregation globally, was the originator and has remained the largest supporter of suffrage in world history, has created more wealth and technological advancement for people all over the world than any other nation in world history, and stopped people like Hitler time and time again?

The short answer is I should, and if you disagree, you only have the right to do so because your freedoms are protected by the nation you hate – right, Axios? With that said, let’s move on to Christianity. I am a terrible Christian but proud of my faith. I’m curious about all those who seem to hate Christianity so much and which part they oppose. Christianity was founded by a guy who said to forgive those who do wrong to you, love your neighbor and treat everyone as you would want to be treated, and don’t judge people – only actions. Which of these values is threatening? Is it, perhaps, the implied truth that Christianity promotes freedom, love, and respect, and these values don’t align with theirs? While I hope everyone finds their way to Christianity, I absolutely respect the absolutely inalienable right for everyone to believe as they choose – which is the core tenant of Christianity (Jesus made people followers, not slaves, and it was ALWAYS a choice). I also look forward to someone explaining to me why the core values of Christianity are somehow threatening to America as it was founded.

The bottom line is that the only issue with Christian Nationalism is that there isn’t more of it. If more people appreciated the nation that fought globally for equality and ushered in many of the standards of living that our modern age is founded, then we could all work together far more effectively to continue to promote those ideals. If more people treated others as they wanted to be treated and loved their neighbor, things would be far better in almost every way. I guess my question for Russell, Axios, and all the other leftists is, why do you hate America, and why don’t you love and respect your neighbors? After all, if you are an American that dislikes Christian Nationalism, that is exactly what you stand for.

Biden Not Happy About Mitch McConnell Stepping Down, Says He ‘Never Misrepresented Anything’

By: C. Douglas Golden, The Western Journal — February 29th 2024 at 09:30

President Joe Biden is losing one of his last levers of support over the Republican Party — and he’s not happy about it.

On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican who represents the old guard of the GOP — literally and figuratively — announced he was stepping aside as party leader in November.

“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” McConnell said in prepared remarks delivered before the upper chamber, The Associated Press reported. “So I stand before you today … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.”

“As I have been thinking about when I would deliver some news to the Senate, I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace about the sunset of my work,” the 82-year-old senator added. “A moment when I am certain I have helped preserve the ideals I so strongly believe. It arrived today.”

What “ideals” these were are anyone’s guess, although it’s worth noting it came one day after McConnell reportedly joined with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a closed-door meeting to pressure GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson to reach some kind of spending deal in the House of Representatives. Draw your own conclusions.

Whatever the case may be, the 81-year-old president wasn’t pleased to hear that McConnell was leaving his position.

“I’m sorry to hear McConnell stepped down,” Biden said when asked about it Wednesday.

He then outlined why conservatives shouldn’t be sorry.

“I’ve trusted him, and we have a great relationship,” the president said. “We fight like hell. But he has never, never, never misrepresented anything. I’m sorry to hear he’s stepping down.”

President Biden says he’s “sorry to hear” Mitch McConnell is stepping down from Senate leadership:

Perhaps the president is sorry that McConnell isn’t leaving his Senate seat as well as his position as party leader, as this would mean that Kentucky’s Democratic governor could appoint a replacement — although, as NBC News noted, Kentucky law directs governors to appoint a successor from the senator’s own party based on a list of choices, so there is that.

But perhaps Biden can’t remember when McConnell “misrepresented anything” because 1) he’s not a Republican, 2) his memory is shot or 3) both.

Never mind that a string of freezing episodes in 2023 was attributed to a concussion the leader suffered after a fall last March. The lack of medical answers regarding McConnell’s condition — which, considering the fact he’s older than both Biden and former President Donald Trump — could be considered a lack of proper representation about the full nature of his health.

New letter from Capitol attending physician Monahan to McConnell:

“There is no evidence that you have a seizure disorder or that you experienced a stroke, TIA or movement disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.” pic.twitter.com/DTnRJSUqh2

— Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) September 5, 2023

However, in terms of McConnell having “never, never, never misrepresented anything,” perhaps Biden ought to listen to GOP Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson describing, this month, how the minority leader absolutely misrepresented his strategy on getting border security funding in negotiations with the president and the Democrats.

When he entered negotiations for the foreign aid/border security bill that ended up being dead on arrival in the House, “McConnell said his top priority was funding for Ukraine,” Johnson said.

“But public opinion and the very strong political rhetoric that we ought to secure our own border before we spend $60 billion to secure Ukraine’s was effective. And so McConnell finally switched and said, ‘OK, we’ve got to let Democrats know that we are serious. We are going to defeat closure on this bill, and we are going to demand that border security is going to be attached to funding for Ukraine,’” the senator continued.

“Then secret negotiations occurred on an issue the public supports Republicans on, and we end up with this monstrosity of a bill. It is an immigration bill. It’s not a border security bill. But during that time frame, we repeatedly talked about making Ukraine funding contingent on border metrics,” he said.

Then, Johnson said, “using his own authority without telling the conference even though he knew the conference supported tying border security or Ukraine funding to actually securing the border, McConnell just took that off the table.”

“And that moment of leverage we had where we could use Biden’s desire for Ukraine funding to actually force him to use his executive authority to secure the border has been lost, and that is why so many of us are speaking out against McConnell,” the senator said. “It was such a breach of his leadership position and such a, just a horrible thing to do to Americans who want a secure border.”

So maybe you’re not surprised that Joe Biden thinks Mitch McConnell “never, never, never misrepresented anything” — because McConnell hasn’t to him. However, in terms of “fight[ing] like hell” with him, now that’s some grade-A misrepresentation.

If he wants to find out what “fight[ing] like hell” looks like, though, my guess is that he’ll find out once McConnell is gone.

Dr Peter McCullough Sounds the Alarm — “Stunning Act of Scientific Censorship”

By: Promoted Post — February 29th 2024 at 10:00

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

For years, the medical establishment – with the help of big government, big media and big tech – have tried to bury concerns about the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Now, facing an avalanche of evidence about how dangerous and ineffective these shots are, big pharma’s defenders are turning up efforts to censor there critics.

In a recent substack, Dr. Peter McCullough, blew the lid on what he called a “stunning act of scientific censorship” after,

“a little known publication integrity staffer Tim Kersjes has retracted a manuscript authored by epidemiologist M. Nathaniel Mead, MSc, after the paper drew global attention to the Springer Nature Cureus platform with record views/reads/downloads. The paper called for a halt in COVID-19 mass vaccination based on a valid evaluation of the evidence. It topped >330,000 views/reads/downloads in a month as compared to an average Cureus-promoted paper which has only ~2700 in a year.”

Dr. McCullough points out how absolutely unethical it is to retract a paper after its publication without adequate justification –  something absolutely lacking in this retraction.

It is clear that the sole reason for the retraction of the paper, which was exhaustively peer-reviewed and meticulously cited, was that it called for a halt in COVID-19 mass vaccinations.

Big pharma will stop at nothing to protect their bottom lines, even if it means endangering the lives of millions of Americans.

What started with urging big tech to deplatform critics; morphed into using the power of the state to ban safe and effective early treatment protocols, like the use of Ivermectin paired with doxycycline or hydroxychloroquine paired with azithromycin; has now evolved to patently unethical and unprecedented campaign of scientific censorship.

It is clear that the medical establishment is absolutely broken and cannot be trusted.

BREAKING: Texas RINO John Cornyn Declares His Candidacy to Succeed Mitch McConnell as GOP Senate Leader

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 29th 2024 at 10:20

Senator John Cornyn (RINO-TX) has officially entered the race to succeed Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY).

As The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, the 82-year-old McConnell announced he would be stepping down as leader of the Senate GOP in November.

Cornyn, in a statement, explained why he decided to run to succeed McConnell.

“I am asking my Republican colleagues to give me the opportunity to succeed Leader [Mitch] McConnell. I have learned a lot during my time both in and out of Senate leadership. Throughout my time, I’ve built a track record of listening to colleagues and seeking consensus while leading the fight to stop bad policies that are harmful to our nation and the conservative cause.”

I believe the Senate is broken — that is not news to anyone. The good news is it can be fixed, and I intend to play a role in fixing it.

From experience, I have learned what works in the Senate and what does not. And I am confident Senate Republicans can restore our institution to the essential role it serves in our constitutional republic.

Cornyn also claimed he would improve communication between members, move spending bills individually and try to include every member in decisions. The AP notes this is in response to constant complaints from some senators about year-end spending bills and McConnell’s leadership approach.

As The Hill notes, Cornyn is widely expected to face off against Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) for the post.

One source told the outlet that Thune and Cornyn were on speed-dial with other members on Wednesday afternoon as they prepared to run.

This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.

WATCH: Loony Rachel Maddow Flips Out After Supreme Court Agrees to Hear President Trump’s Immunity Claim

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 29th 2024 at 10:40
Credit: All In With Chris Hayes Screenshot

The Gateway Pundit reported the US Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear Trump’s presidential immunity claim in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 case in Washington, DC. This specifically addresses whether he can evade charges lodged against him tied to the alleged insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

The high court will hear oral arguments on an expedited schedule the week of April 22 and decide by the end of the term in June or sooner.

As Jim Hoft previously noted, the liberal media had a series of dumb hot takes following the decision, especially on CNN and MSNBC. They cannot bear the fact Trump is about to prevail potentially.

But the biggest meltdown belongs to MSNBC’s most infamous host: Rachel Maddow. She was a guest on fellow leftist MSNBC anchor Chris Haye’s show All In With Chris Hayes to give her “analysis” of the common-sense ruling.

She started off her tirade by claiming that the ruling proved the Court was not a rational actor and that Trump will never face trial. Maddow then insanely claimed that if Trump wins re-election, he will NEVER leave office and stay in power for life to avoid going to jail.

WATCH:

NEW: Far-left MSNBC host Rachel Maddow works herself into a panic and claims Donald Trump will remain in office for life if elected in 2024.

If you think about the court as a rational actor and a decent one, it turns out that was an unreasonable supposition, and it turns out they’re not that.

The conclusion we can arrive at now, based on what they have done without waiting for the ruling, is ensuring Trump will not face trial. And when they inevitably rule that presidents aren’t immune from prosecution after they leave office, what that will tell Donald Trump, if by then he is president, is that he can never leave the office of the presidency.”

If he is voted out in 2028, he cannot leave office, and he is welcome to commit any crimes he wants to, as long as he is still president, in order to ignore the result of that election and stay in power for life, because otherwise he’s gonna go to prison when he gets out.

But she was not done! She kept going with her temper tantrum and accused the court of interfering in the election and trying to act as Trump’s “political friend.”

It’s evident what they’re doing with the pacing here…obviously pushing all of the cases they can push where Trump will be standing for election before we’ve heard the verdict in any of these cases. Got it.

But it’s also the idea that the immunity thing is an open question. Is it really an open question? What is the most famous pardon in American history? Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon once he had resigned and was a former president.

Why? Quote: “As a result of certain acts or admissions occurring before his resignation as president…Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment. Whether he shall be prosecuted depends on findings by the appropriate grand jury and the discretion of the authorized prosecutor. “

The idea this is an open question, the idea that a president can never be tried…is disproven by a plain reading of American history. The idea this has to be taken up is them saying the sky is green.

This is B.S.—you were doing this as a dilatory tactic to help your political friend. And for you to say that this is something that the Court needs to decide because it’s something that’s unclear in the law is just flagrant, flagrant bullpucky.

House Freedom Caucus Calls on Mitch McConnell to Immediately Step Down from Leadership and Not Screw Republicans in Upcoming Election Like Paul Ryan Did

By: Jim Hoft — February 29th 2024 at 11:00
Trump hater Paul Ryan and Trump basher Mitch McConnell

Paul Ryan never liked Donald Trump. He still frequently attacks Trump and praises his detractors like angry warmonger Liz Cheney.

Dirty Paul Ryan repeatedly lied to the American public about funding President Donald Trump’s border wall.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell Stick It to Trump – Will Not Fund Border Wall in September Funding Bill

Paul Ryan is now a board member at FOX Corp.

Paul Ryan announced in December 2017 that he was retiring after the midterm election in 2018.  Then he stuck around and did as much as he could to fund never-Trumpers and ignore Trump supporters in the historic midterms that gave Nancy Pelosi the gavel again.

Paul Ryan also hampered House republican investigators when he blocked subpoenas of Democrats associated with the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

Yesterday, Trump-basher and failed Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell announced he will step down as Senate Republican Leader – but not until AFTER the 2024 election!

That way, Mitch can do all he can to fund unpopular RINO candidates, fund the endless War in Ukraine, ignore the US border, lie to Republican voters, and help Joe Biden and Democrats to a successful 2024 election so they can continue to destroy the country and jail noisy Republican opponents.

But, there is some hope.

On Wednesday, following Mitch McConnell’s announcement, the House Freedom Caucus called for Senator Mitch McConnell to be replaced immediately instead of waiting until November.

Our thoughts are with our Democrat colleagues in the Senate on the retirement of their Co-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (D-Ukraine).

No need to wait till November… Senate Republicans should IMMEDIATELY elect a *Republican* Minority Leader.

JUST IN: Federal Judge Blocks Texas Law That Gives Police Power to Arrest Illegal Aliens Amid Biden Border Invasion

By: Cristina Laila — February 29th 2024 at 11:20

It’s all hands on deck to stop Texas Governor Greg Abbott from securing the southern border as tens of thousands of illegals invade the US every single day on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.

US District Judge David Ezra, a Reagan appointee on Thursday issued a temporary injunction that blocked a Texas law that gave local police power to arrest illegal aliens.

“The preliminary injunction granted by U.S. District Judge David Ezra pauses a law that was set to take effect March 5 and came as President Joe Biden and his likely Republican challenger in November, Donald Trump, were visiting Texas’ southern border to discuss immigration. Texas officials are expected to appeal.” – ABC News reported.

In December Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill that gives Texas police power to arrest illegal aliens amid Biden’s border invasion.

“Biden’s deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself,” Abbott said, adding the new bill is designed to “stop the tidal wave of illegal entry into Texas.”

“At the Texas-Mexico border today for a bill signing ceremony that will take #OperationLoneStar to the next level,” Abbott said on X.

— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) December 18, 2023

Far-left ‘civil rights’ organizations such as the ACLU filed lawsuits to stop Abbott’s new law.

“Ezra wrote in his decision that allowing Texas to “permanently supersede federal directives” due to an invasion would “amount to nullification of federal law and authority — a notion that is antithetical to the Constitution and has been unequivocally rejected by federal courts since the Civil War.”” ABC News reported.

Joe Biden headed to Texas to visit the southern border for a photo-op.

President Trump will also be at the southern border on Thursday.

WATCH: Ben Bergquam Reports from Darién Gap That US is Funding Processing Centers in South America and Flying Illegals into America BEFORE They Reach The Border

By: Jordan Conradson — February 29th 2024 at 11:40

The Democrats are now hiding the crisis at the southern border by meeting illegals halfway and flying them into the United States.

Real Americas Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam is on a fourth escapade through the Darién Gap, where he discovered “15-acre facilities” that the United States is using to process and smuggle illegals into the United States before they even reach the border.

The Darién Gap is known as the world’s most dangerous route for illegal immigration into the United States between Colombia and Panama.

“The numbers at the border go down, but the numbers that are going into our country go up,” Bergquam reports from Central America.

Oscar Blue Ramirez added, “When they get to every port of entry from Central America and South America, they will be categorized now as refugees and asylees,” saying the Great Replacement Theory “is not a theory anymore.”

Ilegal immigrants’ access to the US with full rights is being streamlined through these processing centers called Safe Mobility Offices. According to the Associated Press, they’re then being shipped into the US by plane.

Associated Press reports, “With the safe mobility initiative, they’re arriving as refugees who have already met the requirements and will be legally allowed to live and work in the U.S. The process takes only months, while more traditional refugee screening is a yearslong effort.”

These processing centers, run by the US State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and globalist organizations, are located throughout Central America in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador.

According to National Immigration Forum:

As part of a far-reaching plan to address large-scale migration across the Western Hemisphere, the Biden administration announced in spring 2023 that it was establishing new regional processing centers in Latin America, where prospective immigrants, temporary workers, and refugees would be able to access free screenings for potential lawful pathways to the United States and beyond. 

By June 2023, the first regional processing centers — rebranded as Safe Mobility Offices (SMOs) — launched their initial phase in three countries: Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Colombia. Ecuador later joined in with its own iteration that October.

Early on, the State Department indicated that eventually, it intended to open around 100 brick-and-mortar facilities in the region, with support from personnel at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

“These are places where we feel a humanitarian, as well as the security imperative, to meet people where they are, to cut the smugglers out, and to provide them with a safe and orderly way to arrive in the United States if they qualify for relief,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said of the SMOs. 

In the first months of the initiative, much remains unclear about the offices’ operational realities. But at least on paper, they appear to serve a dual purpose: 1) as sites to identify and refer refugees from within the Western Hemisphere for potential resettlement in the U.S., and 2) as on-the-ground locations to try to deter irregular migration to the U.S.-Mexico border by sharing credible information about the U.S.’s immigration system. 

Staff at the centers may also screen applicants for relocation to other safe countries, like Canada and Spain. However, at least some of the offices have made clear that they are not issuing visas to the U.S. directly. That said, a January 2024 article by The Associated Press said that through the new program, “3,000 refugees have arrived in the U.S., and 9,000 have been approved” — a promising first start.

During the initial phase of the SMOs, offices in each participating country have incorporated distinct parameters, eligibility criteria, and processes for applicants. Read on for more about what we know so far on how the SMOs are being implemented in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador, and who may qualify to participate.

For three years now, we have witnessed Joe Biden’s intentional destruction of America on a daily basis. His failed economic policies, overspending, foreign policy nightmares, and persecution of his political opposition are only overshadowed by his open border policies that have allowed over 10 million illegal aliens to walk across the open US border with Mexico into the United States and immediate government benefits. How many of these people will vote in the 2024 election in states that do not require proof of citizenship to vote or on federal only ballots, which do not require a Social Security Number or a driver’s license in many states?

As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, now, after three years of complete border chaos, a majority of Americans support a border wall on the US southern border with Mexico.

MAJORITY of Americans WANT a Border Wall for First Time in History – And All It Took was 3 Years of Joe Biden’s Open Borders and 10 Million Illegal Migrants

But a wall can’t stop a plane or what is coming…

Ben Bergquam and Oscar Blue Ramirez sounded the alarm after reportedly encountering a growing number of illegals traveling the route and witnessing the large facilities that the United States uses to smuggle humans, classified as refugees, into our country.

Watch below:

BERGQUAM: Joe Biden and the Democrats are pretending like the numbers are going down at our southern border. We’re here in the jungle. The numbers are massive every single day, it’s nonstop. When we first started coming here, you’d see one or two groups a day. Now it’s just continuous. But what we just got word I got a call from Todd Bensman from Center for Immigration Studies. We just got word that these facilities that we uncovered out here in the jungle 15 acre facilities; they’re calling them mobility centers, and what they’re doing in these facilities, apparently, this is through the State Department, Secretary Blinken. And think about this, Oscar, we hadn’t heard anything from Secretary Blinken this entire time, until about a month ago, he started announcing these welcoming centers in America. So, they started building these welcoming centers in America. At the same time, they’re building these so called mobility centers in Central America. From what Todd has gathered, these mobility centers are simply a way to create refugees. So, all of these illegals that are coming through, they’re all economic migrants, they’re are all fleeing their countries for a better life, which I totally get that, but it doesn’t qualify for asylum in America. But, if they can catch them on their way, they’re actually using United Nations IOM to apply for them at these facilities to get them refugee status. So then they can fly them directly into our country, and nobody sees it. So, the numbers at the border go down, but the numbers that are going into our country go up. This is treason. It’s treason. And so not only are they not fixing the border problem, they’re looking in your face, they’re laughing at the American people, saying, how stupid you must be to even believe what we we’re saying simply for an election year. That’s what’s happening. Joe Biden is running for office, these open borders Democrats, they don’t want to fix the problems. They want more of this. They want more of these, all of these Palestinians, they want more of the BLM and ANTIFAs. They want more of this! That is insane, man.

RAMIREZ: It’s a loophole… When they get to every port of entry from Central America and South America, they will be categorized now as refugees and asylees. So in that particular case, they’re registered. It is into every port into every border, they will be refugees.

That direct access will be to the United States of America. So they just created a massive loophole. This is the reason why because Americans in the United States, they are waking up to know that the majority of the people that are coming in are not legitimate cases of asylum, they’re economic migrants. So these guys already created a shield and a protection, you know, strategy for them to create a loophole to go around your system and your law to break your immigration law and basically go round it and fly directly by creating refugees in an epicenter, getting out of the Darién. This is supposed to be closed, but they don’t want to close it because of that. The business continues. It is a humanitarian slavery business; weaponize migration to destroy borders, to destroy sovereign nations, and to continue with this because the replacement theory, Ben, and I don’t want to say this, it is not a theory anymore for all you leftist progresses who categorize me and him as a white supremacist, conspiracy theorists, fear mongering, creating hysteria. It is none of that BS. It is a reality. What are you doing? You are not You cannot fool the American people anymore, and you’re trying to do it again.

Breaking: we just made it out of the Darien Gap for a historic fourth time; more than any other media has done as far as I know. So much to tell you guys, but I want to start with some breaking news I received from @BensmanTodd just before leaving that ties to what we saw in the… pic.twitter.com/joVvfCXYru

WAYNE ROOT: “Do You Believe in Miracles?” Something Supernatural is Happening with President Trump. We are All Witnessing “The Trump Miracle.”

By: Assistant Editor — February 29th 2024 at 12:00

By Wayne Allyn Root

“Do you believe in miracles?” Remember those words by sports broadcaster Al Michaels when the underdog US Hockey team won the Olympic Gold in the 1980 Winter Olympics. History has branded that game…

“The Miracle on Ice.”

See, in real life miracles do happen. We live in a negative, cynical world. Few of us really believe in miracles…and even fewer believe a miracle is happening, even when it’s happening right in front of us. But miracles happen all the time.

You just have to be open to seeing and believing in miracles.

I believe a miracle, sent directly by God, is happening right in front of us, right now. You just have to open your eyes.

President Trump is that miracle.

He’s sometimes crude and rude. He offends so many. He angers so many. “The powers that be” want him stopped at any cost- even if they have to frame him by making up crimes that never happened.

He faces so many indictments and trials. He faces over 700 years in prison. He is being fined hundreds of millions of dollars and banned from conducting business. If he doesn’t spend the rest of his life in prison, he could end up losing his empire to bankruptcy.

He is painted as “Hitler” and “KKK” and a “white supremacist.” We are told he is “a threat to democracy.” If elected, his critics say, he will destroy America.

Virtually everyone in power is against him- from the DC Swamp, to the Deep State, to the Military Industrial Complex (that wants wars around the world), to his own government agencies (CIA, FBI, DOJ, NSA) who frame him and spy on him.

All the groups who hold the most wealth and power in America are out to stop him- Wall Street, mainstream media, Silicon Valley, the Bar Association, the teachers union, Hollywood, Madison Avenue. They all hate him.

Foreign governments are desperate to stop him from ever gaining power again. Global organizations like the WEF, WHO and United Nations despise him. Almost every globalist billionaire in the world is arrayed against him- George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and all the rest.

Women call him “sexist.” Black Democrats call him “racist.” Gays call him “homophobic.” Muslims call him “Islamophobic” because of his unswerving faith and support for Israel. But American Jews vote against him.

Yet after all of that, President Trump holds the lead over Joe Biden in virtually every national poll; leads in every battleground state that determines the election; leads among Generation Z (the youngest voters); and in some polls leads among Latino and black males. A recent poll showed Trump leading among Jewish voters in New York state.

How is this possible? It’s supernatural. It’s biblical. It can’t be explained. It’s a real-life miracle.

Let me finish with two real-life stories that back my belief that a “Trump Miracle” is happening in front of our eyes.

My nephew is a young doctor in California. He recently graduated medical school after being born with severe physical disabilities. He is a walking miracle and testament to the power of faith and prayer. For the past decade of college, medical school, and medical internship in California, everyone he met was a liberal Trump-hater.

48 hours ago, my nephew the doctor was working at a medical office in Los Angeles and he witnessed what he describes as a “supernatural miracle.” The news came on the television in the doctors office. The topic was Trump’s primary landslide in Michigan. He was expecting either groans, or hatred from everyone in the office. But then he witnessed something that shocked him like never before…

Someone in the office cheered Trump. And then another. And another. Soon the entire medical office was cheering and celebrating President Trump. Everyone. Patients, staff, doctors. Once they realized it was safe to express support for Trump, everyone let it all out. Everyone admitted they are on Trump’s side. In Los Angeles.

My nephew the doctor said, “Uncle Wayne, it was a miracle. I never thought I’d ever see anything like this. Something supernatural is happening.”

There’s those words again- “supernatural” and “miracle.”

And then real life story #2. My childhood best friend is a strong believer in God. But he is non-political. Yesterday he reached out to me via text to say, “I’m going to say something very odd now. I don’t believe Trump can be stopped. He’s touched by God. He’s super-human. He’s got something supernatural supporting him. I don’t think anyone can stop him. In my lifetime, I’ve never seen a human being on the earth surrounded by this supernatural force. Trump doesn’t even age like all the other presidents in history. He looks the same as 8 years ago – even after all he’s been through. He doesn’t ever get down, even though he’s taking deadly shots left and right. He’s superhuman, unstoppable, unflappable. We are witnessing a miracle.”

There are those words again- “supernatural” and “miracle.”

Do you believe in miracles? It’s time to start believing. What’s happening is supernatural. Everyone is starting to see it. Everyone is starting to believe. The signs are there. Trump is “the Chosen One.” Trump is sent by God and blessed by God.

What we are all witnessing is “The Trump Miracle.”

‘The View’ Hosts Worry About Biden’s Chances After ‘Uncommitted’ Protest Vote, Spar Over His Struggle with Young Voters

By: Mike Landry, The Western Journal — February 29th 2024 at 12:20
On Wednesday's episode of "The View," the co-hosts discussed the Democratic primary in Michigan. Whoopi Goldberg, left, argued that the votes for "uncommitted" were a waste while Sunny Hostin, right, believed it was a great act to demonstrate what voters care about.

On Wednesday's episode of "The View," the co-hosts discussed the Democratic primary in Michigan. Whoopi Goldberg, left, argued that the votes for "uncommitted" were a waste while Sunny Hostin, right, believed it was a great act to demonstrate what voters care about.

Participants on ABC’s “The View” were left wrestling with the massive “uncommitted” votes in Michigan’s Democratic primary on Wednesday.

As of early Wednesday afternoon the uncommitted votes totaled 101,436 or 13.2 percent of votes cast, according to The New York Times. Votes tabulated totaled more than 95 percent.

The uncommitted votes stemmed from concerns of those in Arab-Americans communities in the southeast part of the state about allegations of violence against Gaza residents in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, according to “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin.

“These are protest votes,” Hostin said. “These are votes — they’re uncommitted votes — and they’re saying, ‘Hear us. Listen to us. Hundreds of members of my family have been killed. Yes! That is my issue. That is my one issue.’”

It also is a critical issue among young voters, Hostin said, citing large numbers of uncommitted votes in the major Michigan college towns of Ann Arbor and East Lansing.

“The View” co-hosts debate the “Uncommitted” protest movement in the Michigan Democratic presidential primary:

Sunny Hostin: “They are telling you, this issue matters, hear us.”

Whoopi Goldberg: “That’s the same for me as sitting.” pic.twitter.com/NqLTVTGMze

— The Recount (@therecount) February 28, 2024

“What the Biden administration has to understand is that young voters — first time voters — are very concerned about this issue,” she said.

“And when it comes to Michigan, if you look at the breakdown,” Hostin continued, “19 percent of those votes came from the University of Michigan — young voters — in Ann Arbor.

“In East Lansing – home of Michigan State – uncommitted got 15 percent of the vote.”

And Hostin warned of the consequences to President Joe Biden if Arab-Americans are not heeded.

“There are 300,000 of the Arab population in Michigan,” she said. “And Trump carried Michigan in 2016 by about 11,000 votes.

“They are telling you — this issue matters, hear us,” Hostin concluded.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg voiced objection to votes of uncommitted as reflecting inaction.

“If I then say, ‘You’re not doing it fast enough for me, so I’m going to sit,” Goldberg said, then folding her arms, “that doesn’t help me.”

“They didn’t sit, though,” Hostin countered.

Goldberg replied: “They voted (uncommitted). That’s the same for me as sitting.”

A Reuters account indicated, the Biden campaign has been blindsided by seething resentment in Michigan over the administration’s support of Israel.

It puts Biden, a self-professed Zionist, in the middle of pressures from several groups, which traditionally vote Democratic.

“We the People are Locked in a Battle Between Good and Evil” – J6 Political Prisoner Matthew Beddingfield Gets Teeth Knocked Out in Prison and Needs Your Help (VIDEO)

By: Assistant Editor — February 29th 2024 at 12:40
J6 Political Prisoner Matthew Beddingfield

23-year-old political prisoner Matthew Beddingfield was arrested in February of 2022 a year after the January 6 protest at the Capitol.  He is now six months into his 38-month sentence.

Matthew wrote the following to The Gateway Pundit to share his story, his hopes for the future and his concerns about what is happening in our nation.

Read Matthew’s letter below:

Hello, My name is Matthew Beddingfield. I am a 23-year-old J6 prisoner from the Raleigh area in North Carolina. In January of 2021 I traveled with my Dad to DC to listen to Trump speak and use my First Amendment right to protest the stolen election. At the time, I had no idea how drastically the events that unfolded would affect my life.

In February of 2022, I was ultimately arrested for my participation in the mostly peaceful protest. I sat in Northern Neck Regional Jail for a little over a month, but after 3 bond hearings, I was let out on pretrial release. While I am thankful that I was not forced to sit in jail awaiting trial, the restrictions that were placed on my freedoms were unheard of for such a case, at least that’s what my lawyer and pretrial release officer both felt.

**Please help Matthew here.**

Aside from being placed on an ankle monitor, I was not allowed to access the internet, I was not allowed to have contact with my Dad, not allowed a bedroom door, and for the first 6 weeks, I was not even allowed to leave the house. After those 6 weeks were up, they finally allowed me to go back to work, but it wasn’t long after that when the prosecutor tried to revoke my bond for going to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings with my Mom. My bond was not revoked, thankfully, but it showed me how closely they were going to scrutinize every move I made.

I was out for a year when I was offered a plea deal with a guideline range of 36-47 months. This was a no-brainer decision, considering the first plea offer they gave me was between 4-5 years, and the alternative of going to trial and risking getting more time was out of the question. So in February 2023, I pled guilty to assault on a police officer. Then in July of the same year, I was sentenced to 38 months in prison.

So now I sit 6 months into my prison sentence. I’m thankful that I wasn’t placed far from home so I can receive visits from my family once a month. This whole situation has been the hardest on my Mom because she loves me more than anyone does. Right after her is my Dad, who feels like it’s all his fault for taking me, but I assure him that I don’t blame him because it wasn’t his fault that I went in; it was my own decision-making.

**Please help Matthew here.**

This whole situation has made me feel closer to my family than ever before because I realize how lucky I am to have them and that no one will ever support me like they have. I try to look at everything from a positive perspective, considering others are going through a harder time than I am. I’m glad that I do not have a wife and kids left behind at home because I can’t imagine how much harder it would make this situation.

I like to look at this point in my life as a test from God to help shape me into the man He wants me to be, one who is more resilient, humble, patient, and grateful for everything He has done for me. I look forward to getting out and moving forward with my life. When I get out, I hope to be able to start a business, build a family, and become a leader in my community.

I also hope to one day run for office as a representative so I can make my way into the Capitol by legitimate means considering our federal government lacks patriots. I am looking forward to the upcoming election in November with Trump, I pray he wins and holds up on his promise to release the J6 prisoners as well as fix the border crisis.

I denounce the narrative pushed by the media of an insurrection. I believe without the provocation by federal agents, the events that transpired would never have happened. January 6th was a setup by the feds to create the vision in the minds of the public that we are the “greatest threat to democracy.”

America is headed down a dark road of destruction, and I pray for the future of our nation. I believe We the People are locked in a battle between good and evil; with the truth and God on our side, we will win.

Thanks to everyone who shows their support to the J6 community.

Stay strong, patriots; the fight has only begun.

President Trump Is Set to Speak in Eagle Pass, Texas – Ground Zero in Joe Biden’s Open Borders Invasion (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hoft — February 29th 2024 at 13:00
Illegal aliens corraled in into a fenced off area in Eagle Pass, Texas thanks to Joe Biden’s open border policies.

President Donald Trump is visiting Eagle Pass, Texas, on Thursday — a place that has turned into the epicenter of a growing feud between Texas and federal authorities over how to tackle the migrant crisis and who has jurisdiction over that part of the US-Mexico border.

Eagle Pass, Texas is at the epicenter of Joe Biden’s illegal alien invasion of America.

On Thursday RAV reporter Jayne Zirkle told Steve Bannon that a body was discovered at the border before President Trump’s visit. The Gateway Pundit has not been able to confirm the report. However there have been numerous drownings in the Rio Grande River after Joe Biden entered office and opened the US southern border.

HERE WE GO: Maricopa County is Sending Phony Mail-In Ballots AGAIN for Presidential Preference Election – One Voter Receives TWO Ballots With Her Name, Another Receives Ballot for Fulton County, GA Resident

By: Jordan Conradson — February 29th 2024 at 13:20

Voters in Maricopa County, Arizona are reporting receiving strange mail-in ballots addressed to them ahead of the March 19, 2024 Presidential Preference Election.

Maricopa County, which holds roughly 60% of the state’s voting population, is considered the bellwether county for Arizona elections. The County is well known for sham elections involving phony mail-in ballots and, more recently, voting machine failures targeting Republican in-person voters.

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the stolen 2020 and 2022 elections in Arizona. In both elections, thousands of ballots with no chain of custody documentation or signature identity verification were seemingly added to the results out of nowhere.

As The Gateway Pundit exclusively reported, a review of mail-in ballot affidavit signatures, when compared to voter registration records, showed that roughly ten percent of mail-in ballots were likely fraudulent with voter identity theft. View the fraudulent mail-in ballot signatures here:

TGP EXCLUSIVE: Limited Maricopa County 2022 Ballot Signature Review Shows Obviously Mismatched Signatures Accepted at Level One – VIEW RECORDS HERE

Similarly, election watchdog group We The People AZ Alliance, after an extensive review of hundreds of thousands of 2020 election mail-in ballots, discovered that 300,000 potentially fraudulent votes were not signature verified in accordance with the law.

Also, as seen in the 2022 general election, voting machine and printer failures at 60% of voting locations disenfranchised Republican in-person voters who turned out at a ratio of 3:1 to vote for Trump-Endorsed candidates Kari Lake and Abe Hamadeh. Kari Lake’s attorneys argued that these were intentional errors caused by malfeasance and falsely certified logic and accuracy testing prior to election day.

Thousands of in-person provisional ballots across the state were also not counted due to wrongfully canceled voter registrations without the voters’ knowledge.

This is why the County decided to unconstitutionally exclude The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson from election-related press conferences before, during, and after the sham 2022 general election, where 60% of voting machines across Maricopa failed on election day, disenfranchising Republican in-person voters. Maricopa County hates transparency and cannot be trusted to run a clean election.

Now, concerned citizen Aubrey Savela reports that she received TWO mail-in ballots with her name on them:

Maricopa county at its finest…

My first time ever voting in a presidential preference election, and I received not one but two mail-in ballots

Thank you @stephen_richer

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer responded on X, blaming Savela for the mistake by his office and doxxing her. Savela responded again with sarcasm, “I see you had no problem sharing my city of residency, maybe next time you can just share my whole address.”

Richer then fired back with another contemptuous post, notifying her and the world that they can request her exact address because it’s a public record.

Thank you so much Mr. Richer for the clarification regarding my ballots!

I see you had no problem sharing my city of residency, maybe next time you can just share my whole address.

But, another Phoenix resident claims that he received a mail-in ballot for a woman who “appears to have been living (and voting!) in Fulton County, Georgia, since at least 2015.”

Brian Anderson, who previously worked as a press and research aide for former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and founded Arizona Capitol Oversight, said in an X post, “Yet her Maricopa ballots presumably have been mailed to this UPS box every election for the past decade?”

The woman reportedly “moved out of Arizona around 2013 and has voted in Georgia elections since at least 2016,” according to public records.

Why is there a Dem ballot in my (recently registered) UPS mailbox?

Anderson later reported that he marked the ballot as invalid and returned it to USPS.

AZ Free News reports,

Registered voters may obtain a mail-in ballot by either joining the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) or making a one-time request for such a ballot. Under AEVL, voters may receive early ballots by mail indefinitely, so long as they vote at least once every two election cycles, or four calendar years.

Anderson shared with AZ Free News what he’d discovered through public records: the woman named on the ballot had moved out of Arizona around 2013, and has voted in Georgia elections since at least 2016. 

“I just don’t understand how no one has marked this lady as inactive after a decade,” said Anderson.

Under a law passed in 2021 turning the Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL) into AEVL, SB1485voters are supposed to be removed from AEVL if they haven’t cast an early ballot over the course of two consecutive federal election cycles and fail to respond within 90 days to a mailed notice from the county recorder. Such a response would have to include a written confirmation of that voter’s desire to remain on AEVL, along with their address and date of birth.

This is not a good sign for the upcoming Presidential Election in a county that is already infamous for running shady elections.

New Audio of Mysterious Knocking Sound From Titan Submersible Search Released (VIDEO)

By: Anthony Scott — February 29th 2024 at 13:40

The mysterious knocking sounds that led rescue teams to believe the occupants of the Titan submersible were still alive have been released in a new documentary titled “The Titan Sub Disaster: Minute by Minute.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, on the second day of the search for the Titan submersible, rescue teams reported hearing banging noises beneath the surface where the submersible was assumed to be lost.

The reports of the sounds led rescuers to believe the occupants of the submersible were still alive, but it was later reported the submersible imploded two hours into its journey, tragically taking the lives of all five men on board.

After analyzing the new audio, Navy officials reported the banging signs likely stemmed from “ocean noise” or “rescue ships.”

Mysterious Banging Sound From Titan Sub Search Heard For First Time In New Documentary Clip pic.twitter.com/0wfieqemVk

Per Forbes:

A new clip from Channel 5’s upcoming documentary “The Titan Sub Disaster: Minute by Minute” includes audio of the eerie “knocking” sound rescuers heard in their search for the Titanic exploration vessel that led them to incorrectly believe at the time that those onboard may have still been alive after the sub lost contact with the surface.

The audio, which was not previously released to the public, was given to the documentary’s producers by the Canadian Air Force team that led the search and rescue mission for the five people aboard the Titanic sub when it went missing on June 18, 2023.

Reports of rescuers hearing a knocking sound while searching for the sub emerged on the second day of the four-day search, and were confirmed on day three, but the Canadian Air Force told Channel 5 they’d heard banging from the first day and on every search flight.

A U.S. Navy official at the time told CBS News that analysis of the banging noises determined they were likely ocean noise or sounds coming from other search ships, and Chris Parry, a former admiral in the British Royal Navy, told TalkTV the sounds could have originated from the Titanic wreck.

After the reports of “potential signs of life,” it was discovered the Navy knew the Titan imploded days before it was officially announced the submersible imploded but failed to release this intel to the public causing the families of the loved ones on board to have false hope that their loved ones were still alive.

Yikes: 49-Year-Old Stripper Running for Portland Mayor

By: Cassandra MacDonald — February 29th 2024 at 14:00

A 49-year-old stripper who performs under the name “Viva Las Vegas” is running for mayor in Portland, Oregon.

The middle-aged exotic dancer, whose real name is Liv Osthus, has no experience in governance but takes her clothes off for cash at a strip club called Mary’s in Portland.

When asked by Willamette Week what she would say to older Portlanders who might balk at electing a stripper mayor, Osthus said she would invite them to watch her strip.

“If the stripper thing is so damning, they could watch my TED Talk, or read the book, or watch the movie,” Osthus said. “Strippers are amazingly strong, graceful human beings inside and out. I would invite them into Mary’s to let me change their minds.”

Osthus also claims that her 27 years of stripping prepared her for politics by giving her experience listening and connecting to people.

Asked, “What managerial experience can you point to?” Osthus replied, “I have none, and the team I’m pulling together will be the people who guide me on that.”

Willamette Week notes, “She’s well known in the Portland arts world as an outspoken sex workers’ advocate as well as a published author, writer and musician. After graduating from Williams College in 1997, she moved to Portland to pursue her music career, and soon after began stripping. She’s been dancing ever since, often on the stage at Mary’s Club.”

Osthus is running against three of the five sitting city commissioners.

Defense Secretary Austin Begs Congress for Forgiveness after His Unauthorized Absence from Work – But Refuses to Forgive Military Members Who Refused COVID Vax (VIDEO)

By: Jim Hoft — February 29th 2024 at 14:20
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) Grills Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during House hearing.

Biden’s formerly AWOL Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin testified before the House Armed Services Committee Thursday about why it took him so long to notify the president, Congress and the public about his hospitalization and stay in the intensive care unit after complications from prostate cancer surgery.

Austin deserted his post for several days without notifying his superiors about his whereabouts. This is a violation of his oath and it took place as the elites in Washington DC ramped up their war rhetoric with Russia and sent more military personnel to the Middle East to deal with the latest conflicts.

During his testimony, Secretary Austin begged for forgiveness for his surprise disappearance. But Austin had no forgiveness for the 8,600 service members who he kicked out of the military for not taking the COVID Vaccine.

REP. MATT GAETZ: “Now that you see how personal medical decisions are, will you call for the re-recruitment, restoration of full rank and back pay for the 8,600 service members who were vax-mandated out of the military?”

SECRETARY AUSTIN: “No, I won’t.”

They need to impeach this clown. One botched lost war was bad enough.

Trump Appeals Democrat Judge’s Decision to Ban Him from Illinois Ballot

By: Cristina Laila — February 29th 2024 at 14:40

President Trump appealed Cook County Circuit Court Judge Tracie Porter’s ruling to remove him from the Illinois ballot.

Porter, a Democrat, barred Trump from the 2024 primary ballot under the 14th Amendment after she concluded he engaged in an insurrection.

The legal theories are based on Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office.

Trump has not been charged with engaging in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.

This case ended up in the Cook County court after the Illinois State Board of Elections last month unanimously voted they lacked the authority to bar Trump from the ballot.

Judge Porter stayed her order until Friday to allow Trump to file an appeal.

Trump’s lawyers also asked Judge Porter to extend the stay to her order until the appeals court makes a decision.

“Staying the judgment until the Illinois appellate courts finally decide this case would reduce the great risk of voter confusion and logistical difficulties for election officials,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in the filing, according to CNN.

President Trump is currently battling similar challenges in other states. Legal challenges have notably escalated in Maine and Colorado.

Last month President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to overturn the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar him from the 2024 ballot.

The Colorado Supreme Court last month disqualified Trump from the 2024 ballot.

The US Constitution has three requirements to be president:

  • Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
  • Be at least 35 years old.
  • Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.

Home of Top Eric Adams Aide Raided by FBI Two Days After NYC Mayor Calls For Changes to Sanctuary City Law So Criminal Aliens Can be Deported (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 29th 2024 at 15:00

The home of a top aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams was raided by FBI agents Thursday morning.

FBI agents descended on the Bronx home of Winnie Greco, a top aide who is under investigation for using her position to benefit her improperly.

It is unclear if the FBI raid was related to the city’s Department of Investigation inquiry.

The New York Post reported:

FBI agents hit the Bronx home of a top aide to Mayor Eric Adams Thursday morning, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post.

Agents were spotted at the Pelham Bay home of Winnie Greco, who is already under probe by the city Department of Investigation over allegations she improperly used her government position to get perks.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Thursday’s law enforcement action, first reported by News 12 Bronx, was connected to that investigation.

In November the FBI seized NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ cellphones and iPad amid a federal corruption investigation related to his 2021 campaign.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the FBI conducted a raid on the Brooklyn residence of Brianna Suggs, the chief fundraiser for New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

FBI agents conducted coordinated raids on the residences of a New York City Hall staffer, a former Turkish Airlines executive, on the same day the FBI conducted a raid on the Brooklyn residence of Brianna Suggs, the chief fundraiser for New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Brianna Suggs has been instrumental in raising funds for Adams’ campaigns, amassing over $2.5 million for his 2025 re-election bid, according to the Daily Mail.

The latest FBI raid comes just two days after NYC Mayor Eric Adams called for changes to New York City’s sanctuary city law to be changed so that criminal illegal aliens can be deported.

More than 100,000 illegal aliens have been sent to New York City in the last couple of years.

Biden’s border invasion is so bad that Adams, a Democrat, is now desperate to deport criminal aliens.

British PM Sunak: Pro-Palestine Protesters Are Descending Into ‘Mob Rule’

By: Paul Serran — February 29th 2024 at 15:20

The war in Gaza has turned many western societies into powder kegs of social tension. And the United Kingdom is no exception.

A few days after a Tory MP was suspended from his party for saying that London’s mayor Sadiq Khan was controlled by Islamists, the issue has taken a much bigger proportion.

Pro-Palestine protesters are weaponizing the already grave problem of migrant violence, and terrorizing MPs in a way that has mobilized Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s attention.

Shouted accusations of being a ‘genocide enabler’ and having ‘blood on your hands’ are feared to be about to escalate into violence against politicians who support Israel.

Some politicians are considering new security measures, such as sitting near the door on public transport and limits meetings with the public.

Reuters reported:

“After the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that sparked the war in Gaza, more than 10 British politicians spoken to by Reuters said the abuse directed at them had become more intense. At least one cited this as a factor in deciding not to seek a new term in parliament in an election later this year.

All spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were fearful that giving their names would increase the threats and abuse.

The conflict in the Palestinian enclave has inflamed tensions across the globe, bringing protesters onto the streets in support of both sides and dividing opinion among leaders over how to end the bloodshed.”

Even seasoned politicians used to receiving abuse from the public fear the tone has worsened a lot, and could easily slip into violence.

Many are considering wearing ‘stab vests’ in meetings or even building safe rooms.

“Last week, parliamentary speaker Lindsay Hoyle sent parliament into chaos when he broke with precedent to allow the three main parties to set out their positions on a call for a ceasefire in Gaza. That was designed to prevent lawmakers from having to choose between backing a ceasefire, abstaining or voting against one to follow their party orders.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called on all sides to ‘take the heat’ out of the issue but some of his Conservative lawmakers have been accused of Islamophobia in their responses. They deny the charge.”

$39 million will be spent in new security provisions for lawmakers and other officials.

Some lawmakers have decided to quit over intolerable threats.

The Guardian reported:

“In comments that have concerned civil liberties groups, the prime minister also demanded a crackdown on protests outside parliament, political parties’ offices and town halls that may prevent use of a venue or ’cause alarm harassment or distress’.”

Ministers have criticized regular mass protests, which have escalated over the Israel-Gaza conflict, and disruptive tactics used by groups such as Just Stop Oil.

“Downing Street said ministers and senior police agreed to sign up to a new ‘democratic policing protocol’ that would see police treat demonstrations outside MPs homes as ‘intimidatory’, a minimum standard of police response to demonstrations against MPs and guidance for officers policing protests and other “democratic” events.

During the meeting Sunak told police chiefs they had to demonstrate they would use the powers they already have, saying it was ‘vital for maintaining public confidence in the police’.

In a stark assessment of the UK’s political processes, he added: ‘There is a growing consensus that mob rule is replacing democratic rule. And we’ve got to collectively, all of us, change that urgently. But we also need to demonstrate more broadly to the public that you will use the powers you already have, the laws that you have’.”

MASSIVE Groups of Military Age Males From Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Nepal, and More Filmed Traveling Through Darién Gap in Panama to be Flown into US by Biden Regime (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — February 29th 2024 at 15:40
One of many campsites with 60+ illegals in the Darién Gap headed for America

Real Americas Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam is currently in the Darién Gap between Colombia and Panama, reporting on the international human smuggling operation coordinated by the cartels, globalists, and the Biden Regime.

The Biden Regime is now granting asylum to illegal immigrants in South America and flying them by plane into the United States to arrive “as refugees who have already met the requirements and will be legally allowed to live and work in the U.S.,” according to the Associated Press.

Bergquam shared a photo of a group he discovered on Tuesday night showing “over 50 men from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, and Nepal, all being smuggled in the middle of the night.”

Hold the United Nations, the NGOs, the Cartels and the Democrats accountable! #JoeBidenDidThis,” Bergquam said in a caption on X:

So, imagine this in 100 different locations throughout the jungle right now. So, when the sun comes up, they get back in line, and they start making their way to their next overnight spot, all guided by the cartels.

“The numbers at the border go down, but the numbers that are going into our country go up,” Bergquam said.

Bergquam also reported finding “UN condoms ” at the border of Colombia and Panama, likely used by cartel members to rape the small number of women and children who are traveling with the large groups of men. The Biden Regime and globalist organizations are helping these animals traffick and rape women on their journey into the US.

Bergquam and Oscar Ramirez encountered another group of illegals from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and India, seemingly setting up camp for the night.

Ramirez explains that the illegals told him in Spanish that they paid $320 per person to get off the boat and be taken somewhere they could be smuggled into America, and it’s “all men!”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, an illegal alien who traveled from Iran to Jacumba, California, recently warned Ben of the Islamic terrorism and other foreign adversaries that are coming through our southern border. “If I was governor here, I would be afraid,” the unidentified man said, noting that “all these people” coming across our borders are “military age.” The Iranian man added, “Islamists will come here, get the guns, get the C4 detonation, and kill people. They’re not good.”

As Bergquam notes in the video below, “The question isn’t if an attack is going to happen, it’s when an attack is going to happen.”

RAMIREZ: I was just having a conversation… and we started seeing a bunch of lights coming in from the east part, where we are going to go up tomorrow. More than 50 lights coming down, and we were like, that’s a big group. I decided to come down here to see what’s going on to see if there were families or whatever it was, and I bumped into migrants from Pakistan, migrants from Sri Lanka, migrants from India, and all men. This is the thing that worries me. It’s all men. All of them, they’re men. Clearly, they’re being smuggled by the [gangs] that operate in Colombia, and all of them are saying that they’re paying a package. I had an interview with a migrant from Venezuela saying that the packages where we were at: $320 per person to get them from the boat into a place that they can get smuggled.

BERGQUAM: Behind us, a massive group of men came in—huge national security threat. We went down there to investigate this, and I just want you to look at this video–all men from the Middle East, Pakistan, from Bangladesh, from Sri Lanka, from India, all men, all being smuggled by the cartel. And this is happening every single night in different parts across Central and South America. This is what Joe Biden did. Joe Biden invited this national security threat. The question isn’t if an attack is going to happen, it’s when an attack is going to happen.

WATCH LIVE: Kari Lake Holds Press Conference With US Senate Republican Chair John Barrasso to Discuss Violent Crime Stemming from Biden’s Wide Open Border

By: Jordan Conradson — February 29th 2024 at 16:00

Kari Lake is holding a press conference with US Senator John Barrasso, who has endorsed Lake’s bid for Senate, today at 3 pm MST.

Lake said on X earlier that Senate Republican Chair John Barrasso is in Phoenix to campaign with her.

I am thrilled to have the Chair of the Senate Republican Conference, @barrassoforwyo, in town campaigning with me!

Thank you, Senator! pic.twitter.com/dQoQOBhw7U

— Kari Lake (@KariLake) February 29, 2024

Fox reports,

A top Senate Republican is heading across the country this month to hit the campaign trail with conservative firebrand Kari Lake in Arizona, a state seen by many in the GOP as crucial to the party winning a majority in Congress’ upper chamber, as well as the White House, in November.

Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., who serves as chair of the Senate Republican conference, will join Lake in Phoenix on Feb. 29 for a number of campaign stops that will focus on the border crisis and the economic issues they say are plaguing Americans under the Biden administration.

“Kari Lake has put Arizona on the map for a Republican takeover in November. Kari Lake will bring Arizona hard work and no-nonsense to the U.S. Senate. I’m excited to campaign with her in Arizona,” Barrasso told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.

Kari Lake told The Gateway Pundit, “We are going to be talking about violent crime stemming from the Bidenvasion.”

This comes after the tragic murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student, was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal last week.

According to an affidavit unsealed, the barbaric savage who murdered Laken Riley “disfigured her skull.”

These are the people that Joe Biden and the Democrats rolled out the red carpet for.

Lake is currently polling higher than her open-borders leftist opponents Ruben Gallego (D) and Kyrsten Sinema (I) in a three-way matchup in the latest poll from Rasmussen.

Western Journal reports,

The poll, conducted by Rasmussen Reports and the Bull Moose Project, found that Lakewas ahead in both a two- and a three-person race, depending on whether Sinema sticks out her campaign.

With three people in the race, Lake holds a 4-point lead over Gallego, 37 percent to 33 percent, with Sinema taking 21 percent of the vote.

If Sinema were to abandon what’s likely a lost-cause candidacy, things look only slightly better for Gallego, with Lake taking 45 percent and Gallego 42 percent, according to the poll.

In a two-person race, 8 percent said they were undecided and 4 percent they wouldn’t vote. In a three-person race, 7 percent say they were undecided and another 2 percent wouldn’t vote.

The latest poll from @Rasmussen_Poll shows that any way you slice it, with Sinema or without, I am beating @RubenGallego.

The people of Arizona despise @JoeBiden‘s agenda, & they’re not going to send the radical (Ruben) who enabled it to the United States Senate.

— Kari Lake (@KariLake) February 29, 2024

Lake previously vowed to secure Arizona’s southern border by declaring an invasion and using powers granted to the states in the Tenth Amendment to take back control from the federal government and finish the wall.

This is why the crooks in Maricopa County stole the election from her by shutting down 60% of voting machines across the county on Election Day when Republican in-person voters turned out for Kari Lake.

The press conference with Barrasso also comes after Mitch McConnell, 82, announced he will step down as the Senate Republican leader in November.

WOW! Biden’s Stiff Gait as He Shuffles Along Desolate Stretch of Texas Border Shocks the Public (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 29th 2024 at 16:20

Joe Biden arrived in Brownsville, Texas on Thursday for a drive-by photo-op border visit.

Brownsville is a desolate stretch with virtually no illegal alien invasion compared to other hot spots such as El Paso and Eagle Pass.

Trump supporters protested Biden’s arrival.

Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days in office to weaken border security.

Since then, millions of military-age men from Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and China have invaded the US.

Americans are being murdered by Joe Biden’s illegal aliens and he responds by visiting a desolate part of the southern border in a choreographed photo-op.

Biden’s stiff gait as he shuffled along a calm part of the border in Brownsville shocked the public. He barely moved his arms as he struggled to walk.

Joe Rogan and Katt Williams Talk About How Fluoride in Drinking Water Lowers IQ (VIDEO)

By: Anthony Scott — February 29th 2024 at 16:40

Comedian Katt Williams sat down with Joe Rogan recently and talked on numerous topics such as propaganda in Hollywood, life-expansion technology, comedy, and more.

Towards the end of the podcast, Williams and Rogan started to talk about the concerns of fluoride in drinking water.

The conversation started when Williams shared his thoughts on how fluoride harms the pineal gland.

Rogan responded, “The fluoride in the water thing is wild.”

“It’s brilliant on the other end, though. They cleaned up the water at the same time they did that. So people of that time just remember the water not being great, and then all of a sudden the water is really great, and it has fluoride in it,” Rogan said.

Rogan added, “There’s a direct correlation between high fluoride levels in drinking water and low IQs.”

At the end of the conversation, Rogan shared that lawmakers in some states are attempting to remove fluoride in drinking.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported Union County, North Carolina commissioners, in a 3-2 vote, decided to stop using fluoride in its water supply after residents were concerned about its possible side effects on children.

Before the Union County commissioners voted, the Leader of the Union County Chapter of Moms for Liberty, Abigal Prado, spoke before the commissioners and shared, “Millions of pregnant women are currently being exposed to levels of fluoride that have the potential to lower their children’s IQ by at least four to six points.”

Prado referenced a 2019 study published in JAMA Pediatrics that revealed: “Fluoride exposure during pregnancy may be associated with adverse effects on child intellectual development, indicating the possible need to reduce fluoride intake during pregnancy.”

WATCH: “Hunter Biden is a Liar!” – Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Rips Into Hunter Biden’s Attempts to Cry About His Addiction and Lie About His Family Business Dealings in Closed-Door House Deposition

By: Jordan Conradson — February 29th 2024 at 17:00

Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday tore into Hunter Biden for crying victim as he lied about his overseas business dealings, selling the Biden family name, in a closed-door deposition before the United States House of Representatives. 

“The theme that we heard in the room was Hunter Biden’s a liar. The Biden family has no product and no service, and Hunter Biden can’t hide behind his addiction,” Greene told reporters.

“Hunter Biden is a liar, and while Hunter Biden claims that the only person that has evidence of a bribe is being locked up in LA, everyone needs to remember that his father is also President of the United States and is also head of the regime that is conducting the prosecution and witch hunt against all of his political opponents,” she continued.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Alexander Smirnov, the FBI’s Confidential Human Source who blew the whistle on the Biden-Burisma bribery scheme, is currently sitting behind bars pending trial, as he is accused of lying about the Biden family’s business ties.

The message here: don’t stand up to the Regime.

Hunter testified before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees. Republicans have investigated numerous bank statements that place President Biden’s second son and crack addict at the very center of their impeachment inquiry. Congress alleges Hunter and his father engineered an elaborate web of lucrative, overseas business ventures that leaned heavily on Joe Biden’s international influence. Joe Biden, his brothers, his son, and family members have benefited financially from those shady arrangements.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) alleges that just one Suspicious Activity Report (SARS) on the Biden family’s finances that she reviewed at the Treasury Department earlier this year involved “tens of millions of dollars and then some.”

Hunter Biden on Wednesday arrived on Capitol Hill yesterday for his closed-door deposition before Congress in part of the Republican impeachment process against Joe Biden.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hunter lashed out at Republicans during his deposition, claiming, “I did not involve my father in my business.”

Hunter Biden Opening Statement: “I Did Not Involve My Father in My Businesses” – Lashes Out at House Republicans

Democrats are already with their talking points.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) accused Republican leaders of “working with Russia to interfere in the November 2024 election on behalf of Vladimir Putin.”

However, Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene came out swinging at Hunter Biden’s lies and the Biden Regime’s persecution of political opponents while inviting Hunter Biden to answer questions in a public hearing.

Rep. MTG commented on X,

While Hunter Biden hides behind claims of addiction, the evidence is clear – he cashed in on his father’s name to make millions in Ukraine and China.

Joe Biden has serious questions to answer about his family’s pay-to-play schemes.

Watch below:

Greene: So impressive to listen to Hunter Biden either give excuses about being a drug addict and how difficult it is to go through years of addiction, and then swing the next minute to his extreme expertise and business experience that placed him on so many boards and allowed him to teach at Georgetown University. You see, the theme that we heard in the room was Hunter Biden is a liar. The Biden family has no product and no service, and Hunter Biden can’t hide behind his addiction, which is heartbreaking. Many Americans suffer with addictions, but many Americans—actually, I would say all Americans except Hunter Biden that suffer from drug addiction and alcohol addiction would never be placed on boards of companies like Burisma and would never be teaching at Georgetown unless their last name was Biden.

And that’s what we heard in the room there today. There’s also an interesting theme there. Hunter Biden is a liar, and while Hunter Biden claims that the only person that has evidence of a bribe is being locked up in LA, everyone needs to remember that his father is also President of the United States and is also head of the regime that is conducting the prosecution and witch hunt against all of his political opponents. So, we had a very long deposition with Hunter today, presented a lot of evidence, and we look forward to him coming to a public hearing, which I would hope that he is willing and courageous to show up to after today’s private deposition.

While Hunter Biden hides behind claims of addiction, the evidence is clear – he cashed in on his father’s name to make millions in Ukraine and China.

Ticket Prices for Caitlin Clark’s Final Home Game in Iowa Surpass $5000

By: Guest Contributor — February 29th 2024 at 17:20

Guest post by Joe Hoft at JoeHoft.com – republished with permission

Caitlin Clark is a phenomenon and sports fans know it.

On Wednesday night Clark broke more all-time records in NCAA women’s basketball in her team’s final Big Ten season road game, as her Hawkeyes blew out Minnesota 108-60.

The tickets for Clark’s final home game on Sunday, should she decide not to come back next year, are going for over $5,000.

ESPN writes:

Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark broke the NCAA women’s scoring record in early February — and looks to shatter another record by filling the seats of Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

On Sunday, the No. 6 Hawkeyes will go head-to-head with the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes for senior night. It’ll cost $408 to see the potential first-round WNBA draft pick in what could be her final regular-season home game in an Iowa jersey.

he most expensive listing for the game is at $5,199, according to Vivid Seats.

Tickets to see Clark’s matchup against the top-ranked Buckeyes have surpassed all women’s college basketball and WNBA games as the most expensive for a women’s game.

This comes after Clark set the scoring record against the Michigan Wolverines on Feb. 15, where tickets were $337. That price increased by 45% for the final home game.

Recently, the Big Ten sold out of tickets for the women’s basketball conference tournament, marking the first sellout in in nearly three decades of its existence.

lark is only 18 points away from passing “Pistol Pete” Maravich for the all-time scoring lead in NCAA basketball, men’s or women’s, and she is expected to surpass this mark on Sunday.

The former UCLA and Pro basketball great Bill Walton sees comparisons between Clark and Maravich.

Two days before Christmas 1969, Bill Walton first saw Pete Maravich in person.

A high school senior from San Diego headed to hoops immortality at UCLA, Walton watched at Pauley Pavilion as the LSU legend went through his pregame warmup drills.

“He was a genius,” Walton told ESPN. “And as is often the case with geniuses, they get bored very quickly. So he was constantly challenging himself. He was a showman, and he loved the show.”

Walton understands why people see similarities between Maravich and Iowa women’s college basketball star Caitlin Clark, who is closing in on passing Maravich for the Division I men’s and women’s scoring mark. Maravich scored 3,667 points from 1967-70; Clark is at 3,650. She enters Sunday’s regular-season finale at home against Ohio State just 18 points shy of breaking the record.

“When I watch her play, which is as often as possible, it just puts a giant smile on my face,” Walton said. “The beauty of basketball is that it’s not all about size and strength. It’s about skill, timing and position, and she has all of that stuff and more. She awes people with her imagination and creativity. She makes it fun.”

Maravich was born in 1947 and died at age 40 in 1988, 14 years before Clark was born. In that time, the world of basketball expanded enormously, including the modern-day women’s game. Maravich’s college career came before freshman eligibility, so he played just three seasons — 83 total games — at LSU. Before the 3-point shot and the shot clock, Maravich averaged 38.1 shots and 44.2 points per game. Clark, a senior, has averaged 19.9 shots and 28.3 points in 129 career games.

Walton said statistical comparisons between different eras in sports are problematic because of all the variables. But what players can mean to a sport, and how they make people feel while watching them are more comparable.

“Caitlin is one of those rare forces of nature that when she’s playing, you cannot take your eyes off her because she’s just moving in this graceful and productive manner,” Walton said. “She’s also a result of the evolutionary process from the late ’60s and early ’70s, when women started to be empowered to play competitive sports. A whole lot of foundational players have come before her.”

Good luck getting a ticket to Sunday’s final season game and most likely Clark’s final NCAA regular season game at Iowa.

Joe Biden Callously Shuffles Away When Asked if He ‘Bears Any Responsibility’ For Laken Riley’s Death – Killed by One of His Illegal Aliens (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 29th 2024 at 17:40

Joe Biden arrived in Brownsville, Texas on Thursday for a drive-by photo-op border visit.

Brownsville is a desolate stretch with virtually no illegal alien invasion compared to other hot spots such as El Paso and Eagle Pass.

Biden facilitated the unprecedented border invasion. He took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days in office to weaken border security.

Since then, millions of military-age men from Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and China have invaded the US.

Venezuela emptied its prisons and some of its most dangerous gang members and murderers have illegally crossed into the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.

Someone asked Biden if he bears any responsibility for a Georgia nursing student’s death while he took photos with border patrol officials.

22-year-old, a University of Georgia student, was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal last week.

The illegal alien who murdered Laken Riley crossed into the US on Biden’s open border invitation.

According to an affidavit unsealed, the barbaric savage who murdered Laken Riley “disfigured her skull.”

“Mr. President, do you bear any responsibility for Laken Riley’s death!?” someone shouted.

Biden callously shuffled away.

Spanish Catholic Priest Says on the Internet He Prays for Pope Francis ‘To Go to Heaven as Soon as Possible’ – Toledo Archbishop Reacts

By: Paul Serran — February 29th 2024 at 18:00

A Spanish Archbishop has publicly criticized a group of priests for making a remark that may or not have been a joke about Pope Francis’ frail health.

The comment that incensed Archbishop Francisco Cerro Chaves of Toledo was made by some priests on a weekly internet podcast.

Read: “Still Alive!” – Pope Francis to Reporter After Being Discharged from Hospital (VIDEO)

A priest made a ‘joke’ that has been understood as being about ‘praying for Pope Francis to die as soon as possible’.

Chaves posted a statement on his archdiocese website Wednesday, rejecting the comments and warning that he may take unspecified ‘corrective measures’.

Read: Principalities of Evil: Bishop Strickland Says ‘Forces’ Influence Globalist Pope Francis Into Making His Decisions

Associated Press reported:

“The statement followed an episode of a program on YouTube called ‘The Sacristy of the Vendée. A counter-revolutionary priestly gathering’ earlier this month. In it, a Toledo priest makes an introductory salute saying, ‘I also pray a lot for the Pope, so that he can go to heaven as soon as possible’.

Another priest expresses his support for this while the conversation group, which involved six Spanish-speaking priests from different countries, laughed over the comments.”

Read: Benedict XVI’s Biographer: Previous Pontiff Felt Betrayed by Pope Francis Many Times: ‘He Was Stabbed in the Heart’

Archbishop Chavez expressed his ‘profound rejection of any manifestation of disaffection towards the person and ministry of the Holy Father’.

The statement further states that the archbishopric ‘is not responsible for or represented by the statements made by the priests’ in the internet program.

“In messages Wednesday posted on its X platform account, The Sacristy of the Vendée group apologized. ‘We are sorry for the unfortunate comment, said in a humorous tone, about ’praying for the Pope to go to Heaven as soon as possible’,’ it said.

‘It is a comment in bad taste and, although it does not express wishes for the death of the Pope, as some media have maliciously spread, we understand that it can be understood that way’, the group said.”

DESPICABLE: House ‘Republican’ Prepares Scheme to Force Vote in the House on Funding Ukraine and Undercut Speaker Mike Johnson in the Process

By: Cullen Linebarger — February 29th 2024 at 18:20
Credit: Kristie Boyd/Office of Rep. Fitzpatrick

A liberal GOP lawmaker is launching a scheme to undercut House Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote in the House of Representatives on giving away tens of billions to Ukraine.

As Axios reported, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (RINO-PA) is planning on using a parliamentary procedure known as a discharge petition, making him the first GOPer to signal open defiance against the House leadership.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the U.S. Senate passed a massive $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan with no border funding while almost all Americans were sound asleep. With its passage, the bill moved to the House.

Johnson, however, has vowed NOT to put the bill on the floor nor any legislation that does not solve the border crisis. The vast majority of the GOP caucus supports his position.

Fitzpatrick explained to Axios why he is so determined to sell out America for more Ukraine money.

We have to get something done. It’s existential. It’s time-sensitive.

Whether that’s our product or somebody else’s, we’ve just got to get the money out the door to them.

Fitzpatrick claims the petition will be ready by early March and expects it to garner Republican support.

He would not need much support from the GOP to succeed in his scheme. The GOP only holds a 219-213 majority, thanks to retirements and special election losses.

Axios notes that they spoke to one Republican who vowed to sign the petition “if there’s no other progress.”

The RINO previously joined forces with three other Republicans and four Democrats to introduce a $66 billion “compromise” aid package to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The plan would also reinstate Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy.

This plan has gone nowhere, however, likely causing Fitzpatrick to shift to a more damaging Plan B.

Jack Smith Proposes New Trial Date For Classified Docs Case as January 6 Case Falters

By: Cristina Laila — February 29th 2024 at 19:00

Special Counsel Jack Smith proposed a new trial date for the classified documents case playing out in a federal court in Southern Florida.

Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami in June for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate which was protected by Secret Service agents.

Trump was charged with 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.

In July Jack Smith hit Trump with 3 additional charges in the investigation into classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago. The superseding indictment, filed in the Southern District of Florida, claims Trump was part of a scheme to delete security footage from Mar-a-Lago.

The classified documents trial was scheduled to begin on May 20, however, Jack Smith asked for the trial to begin on July 8 in a court filing on Thursday.

This new proposed date of July 8 is the week before the RNC convention (more election interference).

President Trump on Thursday asked for the classified documents trial to begin on August 12.

— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) February 29, 2024

CNN reported:

Special counsel Jack Smith and attorneys for former President Donald Trump proposed moving the trial in the classified documents case later into the summer in court filings Thursday.

Smith said he believes that Trump and his two co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, should go to trial on July 8.

Attorneys for the three defendants proposed that Trump and De Oliviera’s trial begin on August 12, while Nauta’s trial begins September 9.

Even so, Trump’s attorneys reiterated that they believe that the former president can’t have a fair trial before November’s election, highlighting political dates in their filing where they say the former president needs to be on the campaign trail like the Republican National Convention.

Meanwhile, Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC is on life support after the Supreme Court agreed to hear Trump’s immunity argument.

Andrew Weissmann After Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Trump Immunity Claim: Jack Smith’s “DC Case is Now on Life Support” (VIDEO)

By: Cristina Laila — February 29th 2024 at 19:20

Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann appeared on MSNBC to discuss the US Supreme Court’s decision to agree to hear Trump’s immunity argument in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 case in Washington, DC.

The high court will hear oral arguments on an expedited schedule the week of April 22 and decide by the end of the term in June or sooner.

Judge Tanya Chutkan postponed the March 4 trial date indefinitely as Trump’s immunity argument makes its way through the courts.

Jack Smith’s January 6 trial may be postponed past November and Mueller’s ‘pitbull’ Andrew Weissmann isn’t taking it well.

“By granting the stay, [SCOTUS] is essentially saying that [Trump] is de facto immune,” Weissmann said to MSNBC’s Willie Geist. “…And I think it ends up being that they’ve given a win to Trump here, and I think they’re gonna give a win to Trump in the Colorado case as well.”

“They have given Trump the win. The DC case is now on life support. It is really really hard to figure out how this case gets to trial before Election Day,” Weissmann said.

Weissmann falsely claimed Trump was charged for “illegally staying in office.”

In August Trump was hit with 4 counts in Jack Smith’s January 6 case up in DC: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Weissmann and other Trump haters on the left are attacking the Supreme Court for ‘delaying’ Jack Smith’s DC case.

Jack Smith’s cases against Trump were brought years after the so-called ‘crimes’ took place because the trials were meant to disrupt Trump’s election bid.

Joe Biden waited too long to appoint Jack Smith as special counsel and Judge Tanya Chutkan waited two months before she responded to Trump’s immunity argument.

If Trump really committed these crimes and the goal was to bring Trump to justice, he would have been charged many, many years ago.

It appears Biden’s plan to convict Trump before the 2024 election is going down in flames.

Australia’s Top Spy Says Former Politician ‘Sold Out’ His Country to a Foreign Intelligence Service

By: Paul Serran — February 29th 2024 at 19:40
Mike Burgess.

The land down under has been rocked by a espionage scandal, after Australia’s top spy made serious accusations against an unnamed former politician.

Head of security for the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO), Mike Burgess, said that the politician ‘sold out’ Australia to a foreign intelligence service that also remains unnamed for now.

Burgess added that the Australian agency confronted the ‘spy ring’ to let them know their cover had been blown.

ASIO chief said in his annual speech that he had declassified details of the operation, ‘which used professional networking platforms, email and social media to target Australians’.

Reuters reported:

“He did not name the country involved, but said it had also targeted Australia’s defense industry, offering money for reports on the AUKUS partnership with the U.S. and Britain to build nuclear submarines.

He said the foreign agency had ‘successfully cultivated and recruited a former Australian politician’ several years ago. He did not identify the politician, and said the person had not been charged because they were no longer active.

‘This politician sold out their country, party and former colleagues to advance the interests of the foreign regime. At one point, the former politician even proposed bringing a prime minister’s family member into the spies’ orbit’, he said.”

In his speech, Burgess called the foreign spies the “A Team”. They attracted Australians that had national security information ‘by offering them consulting roles’.

Academics and political figures attending an overseas conference were met by ‘spies in disguise’, he said.

“‘ASIO disrupted this scheme and confronted the Australians involved. While some were unwitting, others knew they were working for a foreign intelligence service’, he said.”

The links between the Australians and the foreign spies were severed, and individuals ‘should be grateful the espionage and foreign interference laws are not retrospective’.

“‘We have seen it try to recruit students, academics, politicians, business people, researchers, law enforcement officials and public servants at all levels of government’, he said.”

Australia’s ‘foreign interference taskforce’ has conducted 120 operations since it was formed in 2020, he said in the speech.

“‘We assess this government is not actively planning sabotage, but is trying to gain persistent undetected access that could allow it to conduct sabotage in the future’, he said, without identifying the country.”

Now, Burgess is under heavy pressure to name the politician and the country – which many in the media speculate would be China.

Victor Reacts: Democrats Set Their Sights on the Supreme Court (VIDEO)

By: Victor Nieves — February 29th 2024 at 20:00

Democrats are now openly admitting that they want to strip the Supreme Court of its power on national television.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

On Wednesday, the US Supreme Court agreed to hear the question of whether Donald Trump has immunity from criminal prosecution, and specifically, whether he can evade charges lodged against him tied to the alleged insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. For the record, Trump has never been charged with an insurrection despite the media talking points.

The high court will hear oral arguments on an expedited schedule the week of April 22 and decide by the end of the term in June or sooner.

Judge Tanya Chutkan announced she was postponing her March 4 trial date indefinitely as Trump’s immunity argument makes its way through the courts.

Jack Smith’s January trial against President Trump may be postponed past November.

Democrats did not take this news very well. They were hoping to bankrupt and jail President Trump by Election Day 2024 just like any other violent regime in the past.

MSNBC took the news expecially hard.

Unhinged contributor Elie Mystal, from The Nation magazine called on Democrats to “deal with” the Supreme Court. “And until we do something about that, until we take away that power, until we draw the line on them there, they will continue to do this.” 

It appears that Mystal is surprised that the Supreme Court wants to actually do its job and hear cases.

Is he advocating that we remove a branch of government simply because he does not like that they had the audacity to hear a question? Does he mean that Democrats should attempt to stack the court so they can bulldoze through their radical and unconstitutional agenda? Perhaps he means something even more sinister.

Considering that it was not long ago that a deranged Democrat attempted to take the life of a Supreme Court justice, maybe Mystal should clarify exactly what he means.

James O’Keefe Banned From Equinox Gym For Life After Exposing Old Pervert Judge Arthur Engoron Creeping on Women – Banned From EVER Joining ANY Equinox Gym Again (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — February 29th 2024 at 20:20

James O’Keefe has been banned for life from the Equinox Gym after releasing footage of Judge Arthur Engoron, who recently hit President Donald Trump with a massive $355 million judgment for his honest business practices and job creation in the state of New York, perving on women at the Equinox location in Long Island, New York.

Similarly, The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson was previously banned from having membership privileges at the Camelback Village in Phoenix, Arizona, and likely all DMB Clubs in Arizona after he confronted Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs. Conradson ran into Hobbs during a morning workout and asked about the stolen 2022 election in Arizona, which she oversaw as Secretary of State and “won” after 60% of voting machines in Arizona’s largest county failed to read ballots for the in-person Republican Kari Lake voters. After asking her about the broken voting machines that she was supposed to conduct tests on prior to election day, she shouted, “Give it a f*cking rest, Jordan.”

The embarrassing incident caused General Manager Paul Apana to pull Conradson into his office and ask him not to do that again. After Conradson posted the video to The Gateway Pundit, as Paul never asked him not to, Conradson received a phone call from Paul notifying him that his long-time membership of 10+ years had been revoked.

O’Keefe received tips from others who had seen Engoron at the Equinox Gym in Long Island and decided to follow up.

One source sent him a video of Engoron checking a woman out and appearing to flirt with her. The message says he’s often “creeping girls out” and “does this every visit.” In the video, one woman is seen putting her hand up to gesture “back off.” 

Engoron was in the gym wearing a creepy muscle shirt and revealing loose sweatpants. He should probably put on some underwear…

The Gateway Pundit reported on the video released by O’Keefe yesterday, where he spoke to Engoron in the gym and released footage of Engoron cornering a young woman and appearing to harass her before she clearly gestured for him to leave her alone.

BREAKING: O’Keefe Media Group Confronts Total Creep New York Judge Arthur Engoron After Sources Tell Him Engoron Frequently Goes to Gym and is “Creeping Girls Out” – Engoron Wears Revealing Sweatpants and No Underwear? (VIDEO)

Engoron is the same creep who recently came under scrutiny for posting half-naked photos of himself on an alumni newsletter he oversees.

The peculiar “BonusTorsoPhoto” showcased a malnourished torso, presumed to be his own, and left many questioning the appropriateness of such content in a school alumni newsletter.

Source: Wheatley Alumni Association Newsletter

The newsletter presented a before-and-after pictorial of the same torso, ostensibly to display physical improvements over time. These images, intended to flaunt muscle gains, instead cast a shadow of doubt over the judge’s judgment.

The Gateway Pundit also reported last week that the perverted judge was caught by a defense attorney banging the secretary of opposing counsel during a previous case – a complete ethics violation.

According to reports, Judge Engoron has been married three times and has four children.

Arthur Engoron is no boy scout. He’s just a weirdo and a seemingly sexually deviant old man.

James O’Keefe received a call from the Equinox gym, notifying him that he is officially “house-canceled from ever joining any Equinox going forward in the future.”

When James inquired on the reason for his membership being canceled, he was met with “Nope! There’s no reason to be given. So just please, going forward, I will house-cancel your membership. You have been canceled, effective immediately, and you will no longer be joined to ANY Equinox.”

After further attempts to inquire as to why Judge Engoron is allowed to creep women out at the gym, the employee hung up on him!

DeSantis Signs Bill That Authorizes Release of Epstein Documents: ‘The Public Deserves to Know Who Participated’

By: Adelle Nazarian, The Western Journal — February 29th 2024 at 20:40
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is flanked by two of the late Jeffery Epstein's victims, Haley Robson, left, and Jena-Lisa Jones, after signing a bill Thursday into law that officially authorizes the release of documents from a grand jury investigation in Palm Beach County regarding Epstein's sexual assault of underage girls.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is flanked by two of the late Jeffery Epstein's victims, Haley Robson, left, and Jena-Lisa Jones, after signing a bill Thursday into law that officially authorizes the release of documents from a grand jury investigation in Palm Beach County regarding Epstein's sexual assault of underage girls.

On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law that officially authorizes the release of documents from a 2006 grand jury investigation in Palm Beach County regarding the late Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual assault of underage girls.

“Today I signed HB 117, authorizing the public release of grand jury documents like those in the Jeffrey Epstein case,” DeSantis wrote on the social media platform X. “Nobody should be above the law, regardless of wealth, status, or connections,” he said. “The public deserves to know who participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, and the survivors deserve justice.”

Today I signed HB 117, authorizing the public release of grand jury documents like those in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Nobody should be above the law, regardless of wealth, status, or connections. The public deserves to know who participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking…

— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) February 29, 2024

WPTV reported, “The bill will take effect July 1, although a South Florida circuit judge might release the transcripts sooner as part of a lawsuit filed by the Palm Beach Post.”

DeSantis held a news conference Thursday in Palm Beach, to coincide with the signing of HB 117, during which he stated, “they say that justice delayed is justice denied. And I think in many respects this whole ordeal has proven that to be true.”

He said the lack of access to the grand jury materials led to the investigation being “stymied.” DeSantis added, “There needs to be a mechanism in some of these rare circumstances where people can get the truth and where we can try to pursue justice.”

Governor DeSantis Signs Legislation to Authorize the Release of Jeffrey Epstein Grand Jury Documents https://t.co/u513T4KJtR

— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) February 29, 2024

Addressing his audience at the news briefing, DeSantis said, “We are now sitting here, decades later, and you’ve had Epstein and then [Ghislaine] Maxwell is actually in prison in Florida and yet nothing else has ever happened with any of this.”

He continued, “How is that possible given the magnitude of what was going on? And what was going on in Florida was only a fraction of what was happening because you had activities and abuse in New York City, in the Virgin Islands, and this was a massive, massive operation here that was targeting these very, very young girls. And to not have justice on this is something that has been a big black spot on our justice system.”

Before he signed, DeSantis invited two of Epstein’s accusers, Haley Robson and Jena-Lisa Jones, to speak at the podium.

Both women thanked DeSantis.

“I can’t express the gratitude I have for this bill,” said Robson as she looked at DeSantis with tears welling up in her eyes. “I just am trying to put pieces together on the final pieces of this puzzle to help me move on and finally get the peace that I deserve for my life. And I am just so grateful. And I would just really just want to know, why was Jeffrey Epstein given such grace and mercy for his inhumane crimes and why were we so outed in the media and treated so poorly?”

DeSantis invited Jones to speak next. “We have been left in the dark for so long with no answers to what is going on and why things played out the way they did,” said Jones.

DeSantis then invited Robson, Jones and a third person to join him at the table where he signed HB 117 into law.

Epstein, a billionaire U.S. hedge fund manager, was arrested on July 6, 2019 on sex trafficking charges, which included minor girls as young as 14.

Less than one month later, on August 10, he was found hanging dead in his cell at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center while awaiting trial. Epstein was 66.

Although autopsy reports confirmed Epstein died by suicide, there had been much speculation as to whether his death was, in fact, a murder staged as suicide.

The cameras in Epstein’s cell were mysteriously shut off at the time of his death and his cellmate had been transferred out the day before he died.

Epstein, who was on suicide watch, did not receive a new cellmate.

In an interview with American media personality Tucker Carlson, which was released on Jan. 4, Epstein’s brother Mark also questioned whether Jeffrey died by suicide.

Joe Biden arrived in Brownsville, Texas on Thursday for a drive-by photo-op border visit.

Brownsville is a desolate stretch with virtually no illegal alien invasion compared to other hot spots such as El Paso and Eagle Pass.

Biden shuffled around for less than 20 minutes before meeting with border patrol officials.

Kamala Harris Called Out on Twitter/X After Praising ‘Non-Partisan’ Poll Worker Who is Actually a Far Left Activist

By: Mike LaChance — February 29th 2024 at 21:20

Kamala Harris recently took to Twitter and heaped praise on a pair of supposedly non-partisan poll workers, saying that ‘our democracy’ could not function without such people.

She was almost immediately called out however, by sharp-eyed Twitter/X users who recognized one of the men as a far left activist.

What are the odds that Harris didn’t know this when she sent her initial tweet?

FOX News reports:

Kamala Harris praises ‘nonpartisan poll worker,’ which immediately backfires when people learn who he is

Vice President Harris took to social media to praise the efforts of poll workers amid the presidential primaries and just months ahead of the 2024 election, but her complimentary remarks quickly backfired.

“Our democracy could not function without nonpartisan poll workers like Vasu and Rob whom I met in Georgia. President Biden and I thank you and we support you,” she said Tuesday on X, sharing a photo of her appearing to listen to Vasu Abhiraman.

Instead of applauding a “nonpartisan” poll worker, X’s Community Notes immediately tagged the tweet with additional context that readers “might want to know,” including that Abhiraman is actually a liberal advocate who promotes the progressive movement.

“The ‘nonpartisan poll worker’ on the left is Vasu Abhiraman, a staffer at the left-wing Alliance for Justice and formerly of ACLU Georgia,” reads a notice on Harris’ tweet.

Here’s the Harris tweet:

Liberal Hollywood Celebs Are Throwing a Fit Over Supreme Court’s Decision to Hear Trump Immunity Case

By: Mike LaChance — February 29th 2024 at 21:40

As you probably know, the United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Trump immunity case and liberals in Hollywood are not taking the news well.

Rob Reiner and his fellow leftist travelers in tinseltown are having an absolute meltdown on social media, calling the SCOTUS illegitimate and worse.

They simply cannot control their hatred of Trump. They’re seething with rage.

Breitbart News reported:

Hollywood Celebrities Freak as SCOTUS Takes Up Trump Immunity Case: ‘F**k The Supreme Court’

The day after the Supreme Court ruled that it would take up former President Donald Trump’s immunity case, Hollywood celebrities appear to have received their marching orders — to smear and delegitimize the court in the mind of the American public.

With alarming ferocity, Hollywood stars are trying to gin up popular outrage, using the ruling as an opportunity to push the Democrats’ agenda of packing the court and singling out Justice Clarence Thomas for more political persecution.

“Fuck the Supreme Court,” wrote Ellen Barkin.

“Thomas needs to be in jail,” rocker Steven van Zandt posted.

“Dems must push to expand the court,” CBS’ Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer wrote.

See their desperate tweets below:

#FuckTheSupremeCourt https://t.co/HVdROy2mrD

— Ellen Barkin (@EllenBarkin) February 29, 2024

The country needs to know what this Supreme Court decision means. It ends any possibility of justice for Trump. It ends the concept of “no man is above the law.” Adding to its vile blatant violation of separation of Church and State, it becomes the most corrupt Court in history.

— Stevie Van Zandt☮ (@StevieVanZandt) February 29, 2024

Republicans in the Senate refused to hold Trump accountable for leading a violent attempt to overthrow the US Government. Now Republicans on the Supreme Court have just given him a get out of jail free card. It’s now up to voters to rid US of this cancerous threat to Democracy.

— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) February 29, 2024

SCOTUS has lost its last shred of legitimacy.

Slow walking the immunity case is the final straw.

Dems must push to expand the court, add 18 year term limits, and a full ethics investigation of Clarence Thomas. https://t.co/2N4sCrLO20

— Jon Cryer (@MrJonCryer) February 29, 2024

The GOP Supreme Court just insured the nation will not receive a verdict in Trump’s attempted coup trial before the election. Trump’s immunity claim is preposterous. https://t.co/X25E965JbK

Oregon Lawmakers Move to Recriminalize Drugs After Massive Spike in Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

By: Mike LaChance — February 29th 2024 at 22:00

A few years ago, Oregon decided to decriminalize drug use, perhaps in an attempt to further prove their progressive values. Things did not work out as planned.

In addition to a sharp rise in crime and homelessness, Portland and other areas in the state saw a dramatic rise in drug related deaths, many of them due to fentanyl use.

Now lawmakers are pushing to recriminalize drug use and even Democrats are supporting the effort.

The Oregon Capital Chronicle reports:

In first vote, committee passes controversial bill that would unwind Measure 110

Oregon lawmakers on the joint addiction committee on Tuesday evening voted for a proposal to backtrack on Measure 110 and reshape the state’s approach to the drug addiction and overdose crisis after months of planning and an intensive three weeks of debate and reworking the proposal.

The committee’s bipartisan 10-2 vote to send the bill to the House came after wrenching testimony in a series of hours-long meetings by family members who lost loved ones to fentanyl as well as opposition from civil rights advocates and public defense attorneys. To become law, the bill needs to pass the House and Senate and be signed by Gov. Tina Kotek.

Democrats, who control the Legislature, say they have enough support for it to pass.

John Sexton of Hot Air adds this:

The real story here, which most of the news outlets writing about this completely skip over, is that the city of Portland has been a mess ever since 2020. That’s when police were defunded and crime began to go up sharply. And thanks to the passage of Measure 110 (also in 2020) drug use on the streets and homelessness have gotten worse as well.

Portland has been doing what it can to deal with these problems including passing a city ban on open drug use last September. But of course the city can’t ignore state law which says drug use is legal statewide. So the ban on drug use in Portland hasn’t taken effect and won’t until Measure 110 is overruled.

It’s sad that it took so many deaths to get to this point.

The beginning of the end of decriminalization of drugs is upon us. It took thousands of deaths and Portland to become overrun with drugs and homelessness to do it. This harmful policy bankrolled by @DrugPolicyOrg is a dead stick. https://t.co/iTEiKjhqgt

— T Wolf (@Twolfrecovery) February 29, 2024

Oregon’s fatal overdoses increased nearly 42% in one year.

But legalizing all drugs had absolutely nothing to do with it, right? https://t.co/6QvSAHe7BK

— The Pragmatist (@pdxpragmatist) February 19, 2024

Of course, there is no guarantee that this reform will pass, but Oregon would be wise to do it. They clearly have a big problem.

Christian Groups Demand Apology From Politico Over Reporter’s Stupid Comments About American Rights and Christian Nationalism

By: Mike LaChance — February 29th 2024 at 22:20

Last week, a reporter for the liberal outlet Politico appeared on MSNBC and suggested that if you’re an American who believes that your rights come from God and not the government, that you’re a Christian Nationalist.

This was meant to insult all Christians, conservatives, Trump supporters, and all of the other people who are despised by the left.

Now at least two Christian groups are calling out Politico and demanding an apology.

Townhall reports:

Now, Politico is facing formal calls for an apology from two of America’s leading faith-focused organizations: the Family Research Council and Catholic Vote.

FRC President Tony Perkins and Catholic Vote President Brian Burch fired off a letter Wednesday to Politico’s editor-in-chief John Harris, Politico CEO Goli Sheikholeslami, and Jan Brewer, the Deputy of CEO of Politico’s parent Axel Springer, demanding an apology for Przybyla’s attack on Christians.

Saying Przybyla “demonstrated a disqualifying lack of knowledge of the United States of America’s founding documents and a prejudicial view toward American religious groups,” Burch and Perkins noted how Politico’s reporter failed to acknowledge “that our own Republic was founded on the belief that our rights come from God, not earthly kings or government,” a revolutionary idea “clearly articulated in the Declaration of Independence.”

“Ms. Przybyla is charged with reporting accurately on American government, politics, and law,” the religious leaders’ letter noted. “It is deeply disturbing, therefore, that she appeared unaware of the opening of the Declaration of Independence or to its references of ‘the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.'”

In addition to a woeful lack of knowledge about America’s founding, Perkins and Burch called out Przybyla for “an attempt to spread misinformation about Christians by creating the perception that they hold unique beliefs that pose a distinct and, in her words ‘extremist,’ threat to our country.”

Here is a reminder of what Przybyla said:

Here @MSNBC helpfully makes it clear their disdain for Christians in America.

She says that if you believe that your rights come from God, you aren’t a Christian, you are a Christian nationalist.

Somehow they seem to not mention that our own founding documents make this… pic.twitter.com/WTLMqcqTzg

— Wade Miller (@WadeMiller_USMC) February 23, 2024

Politico should apologize for this but no one will be holding their breath waiting for them to do the right thing.

NY Times Plays CIA Messenger — Turn Off The Lights, The Party Is Over

By: Larry Johnson — March 1st 2024 at 07:00
Ukraine Intel Chief Budanov

I apologize on not writing about the NY Times article by  Adam Entous and Michael SchwirtzThe Spy War: How the C.I.A. Secretly Helps Ukraine Fight Putin, before now but my schedule did not give me the time I needed to do the subject justice. I was inundated with requests for a comment by several media outlets and did my best to accommodate those in radio and TV interviews.

The key thing you need to understand is that this article is a deliberate piece of misinformation that is intended to shape public and policymaking opinion in the United States. The following opening to the article, like all propaganda, is a mixture of fact and fantasy.

the intelligence partnership between Washington and Kyiv is a linchpin of Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. The C.I.A. and other American intelligence agencies provide intelligence for targeted missile strikes, track Russian troop movements and help support spy networks.

But the partnership is no wartime creation, nor is Ukraine the only beneficiary.

It took root a decade ago, coming together in fits and starts under three very different U.S. presidents, pushed forward by key individuals who often took daring risks. It has transformed Ukraine, whose intelligence agencies were long seen as thoroughly compromised by Russia, into one of Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin today.

Yes, it is true that U.S. intelligence, along with NATO, supplied Ukraine with intelligence used to carry out missile strikes on Russian positions. Admitting this in the pages of the NY Times is reckless and dangerous. I am pretty sure the Russians already knew this but putting this on the record with U.S. intelligence sources is a casus belli for Russia. Can you imagine the reaction if Russian intelligence confirmed they provided intel to a group or country that attacked the U.S.? Do you think Washington would ignore that and not seek retribution? Of course not.

But the article starts with the big lie by claiming that the CIA relationship with Ukraine started in February 2022 and then piles on with these two whoppers:

Before the war, the Ukrainians proved themselves to the Americans by collecting intercepts that helped prove Russia’s involvement in the 2014 downing of a commercial jetliner, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. The Ukrainians also helped the Americans go after the Russian operatives who meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The Maidan and the ensuing events in February and March 2014 involved what I believe was a joint U.S./U.K. intelligence operation to remove Ukraine’s President Yanukovich and install a pro-Western government that would be used to attack Russia. The fact of the matter is that the CIA has been dealing with Ukrainian opponents of Russia since at least 1947.

The propaganda purpose of the article is revealed by the decision of the reporters to repeat the specious claims that Russia shot down Malaysia Airlines flight 17 and that Russia “meddled” in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. We have had a slew of revelations over the last two months, principally from Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger, showing that it was the Clinton campaign with the help of the CIA and the FBI who meddled in the 2016 Presidential campaign in a failed effort to defeat Donald Trump. Entous and Schwirtz insert the bogus claim that Ukraine fingered the Russian officer responsible for “election interference.”

In one joint operation, a HUR team duped an officer from Russia’s military intelligence service into providing information that allowed the C.I.A. to connect Russia’s government to the so-called Fancy Bear hacking group, which had been linked to election interference efforts in a number of countries.

No. Fancy Bear was a CIA creation that used Vault 7 tools to create a fake cyber trail that implicated Russian intelligence. I discussed the CIA’s role in this operation four years ago in my piece, DID JOHN BRENNAN’S CIA CREATE GUCCIFER 2.0 AND DCLEAKS? Here is the relevant portion of that piece:

In October 2015 John Brennan reorganized the CIA. As part of that reorganization he created a new directorate–DIRECTORATE OF DIGITAL INNOVATION. Its mission was to “manipulate digital footprints.” In other words, this was the Directorate that did the work of creating Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks. One of their specialties, creating Digital Dust.

We also know, thanks to Wikileaks, that the CIA was using software specifically designed to mask CIA activity and make it appear like it was done by a foreign entity. Wikipedia describes the Vault 7 documents:

Vault 7 is a series of documents that WikiLeaks began to publish on 7 March 2017, that detail activities and capabilities of the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency to perform electronic surveillance and cyber warfare. The files, dated from 2013–2016, include details on the agency’s software capabilities, such as the ability to compromise cars, smart TVs,[1] web browsers (including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera Software ASA),[2][3][4] and the operating systems of most smartphones (including Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android), as well as other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux[5][6

One of the tools in Vault 7 carries the innocuous name, MARBLE. Hackernews explains the purpose and function of MARBLE:

Dubbed “Marble,” the part 3 of CIA files contains 676 source code files of a secret anti-forensic Marble Framework, which is basically an obfuscator or a packer used to hide the true source of CIA malware.
The CIA’s Marble Framework tool includes a variety of different algorithm with foreign language text intentionally inserted into the malware source code to fool security analysts and falsely attribute attacks to the wrong nation.

Marble is used to hamper[ing] forensic investigators and anti-virus companies from attributing viruses, trojans and hacking attacks to the CIA,” says the whistleblowing site.

“…for example by pretending that the spoken language of the malware creator was not American English, but Chinese, but then showing attempts to conceal the use of Chinese, drawing forensic investigators even more strongly to the wrong conclusion,” WikiLeaks explains.

So guess what gullible techies “discovered” in mid-June 2016? The meta data in the Guccifer 2.0 communications had “Russian fingerprints.”

The goal of the Entous/Schwirtz article is simple — portray the CIA as a great organization that did magnificent work in Ukraine but was not able to complete the mission of destroying Russia because the Republican Congress failed to provide funding and the Ukrainian intelligence service was uncontrollable.

Entous and Schwirtz present an emotional account of CIA and UK spies trying to warn Ukrainian officials that Russia was going to invade. Hell, the Brits even cried. But, despite Ukrainian recalcitrance, the CIA would not abandon Ukraine:

President Zelensky and some of his top advisers appeared unconvinced, even after Mr. Burns, the C.I.A. director, rushed to Kyiv in January 2022 to brief them.

As the Russian invasion neared, C.I.A. and MI6 officers made final visits in Kyiv with their Ukrainian peers. One of the MI6 officers teared up in front of the Ukrainians, out of concern that the Russians would kill them.

At Mr. Burns’s urging, a small group of C.I.A. officers were exempted from the broader U.S. evacuation and were relocated to a hotel complex in western Ukraine. They didn’t want to desert their partners.

We’re then treated to a litany of all the incredible secrets the CIA passed to Ukraine about Russia’s plans to murder the government and military leaders in Kiev. But we’re also told that the CIA trained Ukie intel squads are something of a Rogue Elephant.

At the time, the future head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, General Budanov, was a rising star in Unit 2245. He was known for daring operations behind enemy lines and had deep ties to the C.I.A. The agency had trained him and also taken the extraordinary step of sending him for rehabilitation to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland after he was shot in the right arm during fighting in the Donbas.

Disguised in Russian uniforms, then-Lt. Col. Budanov led commandos across a narrow gulf in inflatable speedboats, landing at night in Crimea.

But an elite Russian commando unit was waiting for them. The Ukrainians fought back, killing several Russian fighters, including the son of a general, before retreating to the shoreline, plunging into the sea and swimming for hours to Ukrainian-controlled territory.

It was a disaster. In a public address, President Putin accused the Ukrainians of plotting a terrorist attack and promised to avenge the deaths of the Russian fighters.

“There is no doubt that we will not let these things pass,” he said.

In Washington, the Obama White House was livid. Joseph R. Biden Jr., then the vice president and a champion of assistance to Ukraine, called Ukraine’s president to angrily complain.

Got it? Budanov is a reckless, out of control spy. Message delivered. Entous and Schwirtz then return to the narrative of how great a job the CIA did in protecting Ukraine from the Russians. For example, they recount how the CIA informed Zelensky that Ukraine had stopped the Russian invasion cold at the end of March 2022:

When the Russian assault on Kyiv had stalled, the C.I.A. station chief rejoiced and told his Ukrainian counterparts that they were “punching the Russians in the face,” according to a Ukrainian officer who was in the room.

This is not true. It is a lie. Not a word is written about the negotiations that were underway in Turkey between Russia and Ukraine that had reached an agreement in principle until the U.S. and the U.K. intervened and ordered the Ukrainians to walk away. Can’t have that in this narrative. Nope. Got to find someone else to blame for the unfolding debacle. And Entous and Schwirtz oblige with this off-hand paragraph at the end of their piece:

The question that some Ukrainian intelligence officers are now asking their American counterparts — as Republicans in the House weigh whether to cut off billions of dollars in aid — is whether the C.I.A. will abandon them. “It happened in Afghanistan before and now it’s going to happen in Ukraine,” a senior Ukrainian officer said.

The answer to that question is left hanging. Entous and Schwirtz did their job — they polished up the CIA turd and laid the foundation of blame for the looming defeat at the hands of the Republican Congress and an out-of-control Ukrainian intel chief, Budanov. Once you grasp this you can understand why Kiril Budanov has been on the record in the press this week denying the U.S. claim that Putin killed Russian-dissident Nalvani and that Russia is using Iranian and North Korean missiles. Looks like Budanov understands he can no longer count on the CIA to have his back.
