Biden Buries ‘Bidenomics’ in a Shallow Grave on the South Lawn

Federal Appeals Court Rejects ‘Invasion’ Claims, Issues New Block on Texas Immigration Law That Gives Police Power to Arrest Illegal Aliens

Texas National Guard members are seen being overrun by illegal immigrants trying to force their way across the southern border at El Paso, Texas.

Last week the US Supreme Court allowed Texas to enforce its immigration law that allows police to arrest illegal aliens.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority rejected an emergency application by the Biden Regime requesting the high court block Texas’ immigration law.

The high court temporarily rejected the Biden Regime’s request as litigation made its way through the courts.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals last week temporarily suspended the immigration law after the Supreme Court rejected the emergency application.

A three-judge panel for the Fifth Circuit in a 2-1 ruling Tuesday night rejected ‘invasion’ claims and issued a new block on Texas’ immigration law.

The one judge who dissented was appointed by Trump.

The AP reported:

Texas’ plans to arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the U.S. will remain on hold under a federal appeals court order that likely prevents enforcement of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s new immigration law until a broader decision on whether it is legal.

The 2-1 ruling late Tuesday is the second time a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has put a temporary hold on the the Texas law. It follows a confusing few hours last week the Supreme Court allowed the law to take effect, setting off anger and anticipation along the U.S.-Mexico border.

In Tuesday’s order, Chief Judge Priscilla Richman cited a 2012 Supreme Court decision that struck down portions of a strict Arizona immigration law, including arrest power. The Texas law is considered by opponents to be the most dramatic attempt by a state to police immigration since that Arizona law.

“For nearly 150 years, the Supreme Court has held that the power to control immigration — the entry, admission, and removal of noncitizens — is exclusively a federal power,” wrote Richman, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush.

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 in December.

CLASSY: Democrat Strategist Paul Begala Compares Third Party Candidates to Cockroaches (VIDEO)

Democrat strategist Paul Begala compared third party candidates to cockroaches during a recent appearance on CNN. Isn’t it great when liberals make it clear what kind of people they really are?

One other reason why this segment is important is because it shows how absolutely terrified Democrats are about third party candidates taking votes away from Biden.

As Begala notes, it doesn’t take much for a third party candidate to completely change the outcome of an election.

FOX News reports:

Third parties are like ‘cockroaches in the kitchen,’ former Clinton adviser says: ‘Foul it up’ for Biden

Paul Begala, a former adviser to Bill Clinton, compared third-parties to cockroaches on Monday and said Robert F. Kennedy Jr would throw “the whole election to Donald Trump,” which he said was a very real threat.

While discussing the Biden campaign and DNC effort to “diminish” RFK Jr.’s third-party effort, Begala, a CNN political commentator, suggested Kennedy could throw the election to Trump and compared third-parties to cockroaches.

“Third parties elected Donald Trump in 2016, about six to seven percent of Americans voted third-party. That third-party vote dropped to less than two, which is how Biden won. So, anything over two, Democrats are in trouble. Kennedy alone is getting 15 in some of these places. So yeah, my view is third parties, they’re like cockroaches in the kitchen, okay?”

He added, “It’s not what they carry off that upsets you. It’s what they fall into and foul up. Bobby Kennedy can fall into every swing state and foul it up for Joe Biden and throw the whole election to Donald Trump. So, I’m very happy as a Democrat that the Democrats are on this because it’s a very real threat,” Begala said.

Here’s the clip:

Hypocrite Jon Stewart Went After Trump for Overvaluing His Property – Turns Out He Did the Exact Same Thing With His NYC Apartment

Jon Stewart recently went after Trump on the Daily Show, claiming that Trump overvaluing his property, as the Letitia James case claims, was not a victimless crime. In truth it wasn’t a crime at all, it’s standard operating procedure in real estate deals.

But it turns out that Jon Stewart did the exact same thing with his New York City apartment.

Are leftists capable of anything other than projection?

The New York Post reports:

Jon Stewart benefited by 829% ‘overvalue’ of his NYC home even as he labels Trump’s civil case ‘not victimless’

Comedian Jon Stewart ranted this week that Donald Trump’s civil real-estate case overvaluing his properties was “not victimless,” yet when it came to his own home, Stewart benefited from a similar inflation…

But it didn’t take long for internet sleuths to look into Stewart’s own property history, which shows his New York City penthouse sold for 829% more than its assessed value, records confirmed by The Post reveal.

In 2014, Stewart sold his 6,280-square-foot Tribeca duplex to financier Parag Pande for $17.5 million. The property’s asking price at that time is not available in listing records.

But according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market-value at only $1.882 million. The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174.

Records also show that Stewart paid significantly lower property taxes, which were calculated based on that assessor valuation price — precisely what he called Trump out for doing in his Monday monologue.

Anyone surprised?

Hey @jonstewart,

When will you volunteer to plead guilty and pay the difference in taxes or has this jogged your memory to the fact that assessed values for taxes are almost universally lower than sale prices pretty much everywhere on earth? Looking forward to your apology. https://t.co/GVgnMJBImy

— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) March 27, 2024

Jon Stewart sold his home for many millions more than the valuation he was taxed on. Admit you’re wrong @jonstewart – or claim that the US should start prosecuting millions of people including yourself. https://t.co/Ql7hGJENUz

Letitia James is probably going to charge Stewart any moment now. Right?

Photo of the Year: AP Wins for Their Photo of the Slaughtered, Mangled Body of a Jewish German-Israeli Girl Taken by Reporter Embedded with Hamas

The Poyipic Team Picture of the Year award this year went to the Hamas sympathizing journalists who took photos during the slaughter of 1,300 Jews in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Poyipics is the oldest photojournalism competition in the world.  Their Pictures of the Year International award began as a photographic contest in 1944 by Cliff Edom at the Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia, Missouri.

This year Poyipics awarded the winner to The Associated Press in the category “Team Picture Story of the Year” for their article “War between Israel and Hamas” in which they do not even mention the name of Shani Louk, nor even not that she was raped and massacred by Hamas terrorists in front of a delirious crowd. Worse, they justify this photo by the Israeli response. How can they reward the barbarity of the filthy beast. This world is sickening.

This is from their webpage.

The AP wins this year’s Team Picture Story of the Year.

The photo is of the slaughtered and mangled body of Jewish German-Israeli girl Shani Louk.

Shani Louk attended the all-night Nova dance party in southern Israel on October 6-7, 2023.

Hamas terrorists targeted the dance festival and slaughtered 370 children and young adults in the attack. Hamas then took hundreds of Jews hostage into Gaza.

Shani Louk’s body was taken by truck back to Gaza where the people cheered and spit on her corpse.

We only have this image because Hamas photojournalists were working for the AP, Reuters, New York Times, and others.

Kill a Jewish girl – Win an international award!

The photo is also currently posted on the Poyipics page on Instagram.

The Gazans later beheaded Shani.

Judge McAfee Orders Immediate Review of Trump RICO Co-Defendant Appeal Arguing Fani Willis Overstepped Her Authority

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ordered an immediate review of Trump RICO co-defendant Harrison Floyd’s appeal arguing District Attorney Fani Willis overstepped her authority when she sought an election-related indictment.

Harrison Floyd, a leader for Black Voices for Trump, was charged with three counts: Count 1, RICO, and Counts 30 and 31, “conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements and writings” and “influencing a witness”.


Harrison Floyd

Floyd’s lawyers filed a motion last week asking the judge’s permission to appeal his previous ruling on a Plea in Bar filed last year.

The filing argued Fani Willis overstepped her authority when she sought an election-related indictment against Floyd without a referral from the State Election Board.

After months of back-and-forth, Scott McAfee finally granted a Certificate of Immediate Review.

Law & Crime reported:

A co-defendant in the Georgia racketeering (RICO) and election subversion case against former President Donald Trump will be allowed to immediately appeal a series of trial court rulings against him to the Georgia Court of Appeals.

Fulton Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Monday granted a certificate of immediate review allowing Harrison Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump, to request a hearing from the higher court about his procedural motion to dismiss the case.

McAfee has, on several prior occasions, denied arguments advanced by Floyd that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was operating beyond her jurisdiction when her office began an “election-related” investigation and, subsequently, when the charges were filed.

Floyd has been pressing the issue since October 2023, arguing Willis’ office “did not have authority to investigation or presentment authority to bring election-related charges against the Defendant absent a referral from the State Election Board.”

The state replied to those arguments last November and Floyd’s attorneys replied to the state last December, court documents show.

JUST IN: Former Connecticut Senator and Democrat VP Nominee Joe Lieberman Dies at 82 After Sustaining a Fall

Official Senate portrait Credit: U.S. Congress

Former Democratic vice presidential nominee and U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman died Wednesday at the age of 82 due to complications from a fall, his family revealed. He was 82 years old.

Lieberman’s family released the following statement:

Former United States Senator Joseph I. Lieberman died this afternoon, March 27, 2024, in New York City due to complications from a fall. He was 82 years old.

His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed. Senator Lieberman’s love of God, his family, and America endured throughout his life of service in the public interest.”

Lieberman served as a United States senator for Connecticut from 1989 to 2013. During his final term in office, he was listed as an independent Democrat and caucused with and chaired committees for the Democrats.

Lieberman is most famously known for being chosen as then vice-president Al Gore’s running mate for the 2000 presidential election. He was the first Jewish American to be nominated on a major party’s ticket.

Gore and Lieberman came within 537 votes of winning Florida which would have handed the, the 2000 election. The Gore campaign then desperately tried for weeks to find ways to steal the election.

But the United States Supreme Court stopped Team Gore’s scheme in a famous 5-4 ruling.

Lieberman remained quite active in the political sphere after retirement. As Hearst Connecticut Media notes, Lieberman most recently helped establish the No Labels Party in an attempt to put a third-party candidate on the ballot in the 2024 presidential race.

Joseph Isadore Lieberman was born on February 24, 1942, in Stamford, Connecticut. He was the son of Henry Lieberman, who ran a liquor store, and Marcia Lieberman.

He was educated at Yale and received his undergraduate and law degrees from the university.

Lieberman was elected to the Connecticut State Senate three years after completing law school. He served there for a decade and later for six years (1983-88) as the state’s attorney general.

In 1988, he challenged Sen. Lowell Weicker, an ultra-liberal “Republican,” and was famously endorsed by many notable conservatives, including the great William F. Buckley Jr., the host of Firing Line and founder of the National Review.

Lieberman won by just over 10,000 votes.

As an Orthodox Jew, Lieberman also kept the Sabbath, which meant avoiding all business from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, making him unique amongst all senators as Politico notes.

TikTok Silences Women Warning Against Horrific Side Effects of ‘Birth Control’

Communist Chinese government-tied TikTok censored videos of women exposing the health risks of hormonal contraceptives after apparently receiving pressure from a leftist legacy media outlet. The Washington Post released a now-infamous report attempting to discredit women speaking out about many of the well-known side effects listed on the blanket-sized warning label that comes with oral contraceptives. In its report, The Post highlighted the fact that TikTok had censored some of the people it had reached out to for the piece, including The Daily Wire commentator Brett Cooper who hosts The Comments Section and TikTok influencer Nicole Bendayan. The newspaper took credit for the part it played in the removal of multiple videos. The Post identified one censored video as being a clip from Cooper’s May 2023 appearance on the Iced Coffee Hour podcast. In the censored video, Cooper highlighted contraception’s worrying impact on weight gain, fertility, regular hormone function and romantic attraction. The Post itself reported on the Pill users’ increased risk for cervical cancer in 1977, something it neglected to remind users of in its more recent reporting on the issue. The clip of Cooper garnered 219,000 likes “before TikTok removed it following The Post’s inquiry,” The Post reported. Links to the TikTok video now bring up the message, “Video currently unavailable” or “This page isn’t available.” The app does not provide any further explanation. Cooper posted on X (formerly Twitter) on March 24, “What’s ironic is that [The Post] reached out to me for a comment, and they asked WHY my video was removed and no longer available. Shocker... was because of them.” She included a screenshot of The Post’s admission about the censorship following a Post inquiry. The Post bragged that TikTok removed five videos critical of contraception after the leftist legacy outlet demanded to know how the app “prevents the spread of misinformation.” A TikTok spokesperson claimed to the Post that the videos had “inaccurate, misleading or false content that may cause significant harm to individuals or society.” TikTok did not respond to a request for comment from MRC Free Speech America at the time of publication. Another individual that TikTok censored was Nicole Bendayan, whose video explaining why she got off contraception went viral until censorship silenced it, according to The Post. TikTok has a track record of anti-American bias and censorship and is currently in danger of being banned due to congressional legislation. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) owns a board seat and maintains a financial stake in TikTok’s parent company ByteDance. Censorship occurring after leftist media outlets or researchers put pressure on Big Tech appears to be a rising trend, something addressed in a recent "60 Minutes" segment. The Post’s whole piece aggressively defended contraception, bewailed the fact that some women are turning away from it, and blamed “right-wing” so=-called “misinformation” for that. “Search for ‘birth control’ on TikTok or Instagram and a cascade of misleading videos vilifying hormonal contraception appear,” The Post bemoaned. “Young women blaming their weight gain on the pill. Right-wing commentators claiming that some birth control can lead to infertility. Testimonials complaining of depression and anxiety.” Such evidence used to be mainstream. In fact, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) documents substantial evidence of serious side effects from taking hormonal “birth control”, including some of the very effects The Post scoffs at. The study published on NIH also listed serious potential long-term side effects from contraception including cancer, multiple sclerosis, weight gain and suicidal desires.  Conservatives are under attack. Contact TikTok via email at communitymanager@tiktok.com and demand Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on hate speech and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

Beyond the Headlines with Elijah Schaffer: They’re Trying to take us OFFLINE.. Is this WHY?

 

On Sunday night 60 Minutes, a “news magazine”, invited anti-free speech zealot Kate Starbird on to discuss the necessity to control thoughts and speech in America today.

Starbird went on ’60 Minutes’ to argue the need to control free speech in America today so that only one viewpoint is allowed to reach the masses.

Kate Starbird is not new at this. She has been working with government agencies to stifle free speech in America for years now.

Kate Starbird was successful in her efforts to censor and blacklist The Gateway Pundit before the 2022 election. Now her goal is to control all speech on X.

Starbird is a key player in the government censorship complex.

We have reported on Kate’s work at The Gateway Pundit.

Stephen Miller and America First Legal is currently involved with litigants from the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit, where Gateway Pundit Publisher Jim Hoft is a plaintiff. In the pivotal lawsuit the Attorney Generals of Louisiana and Missouri are suing Joe Biden and his administration to stop censoring conservatives and independent voices who do not echo and support current government policy.

Jim Hoft is also fighting back against the other parts of the Biden censorship regime.

The corrupt Biden regime is once again putting their weight behind silencing media outlets that don’t abide by the mainstream narrative. This time, they’re using “The Center for Countering Digital Hate” to silence voices that don’t agree with them. How will this affect the media landscape, especially online independent journalism? Elijah Schaffer discusses more on today’s Beyond the Headlines.

WATCH: Racist, Anti-Israel Vanderbilt Students Suffer and Freak Out After No-Nonsense Administration Takes Decisive Action to Ruin Their Protest

Credit: @sfmcguire79

A protest organized on Tuesday by racist, anti-Israel Vanderbilt University students went south in a hurry after school officials took decisive action to spoil their little party, causing them to suffer and freak out.

As The Tennessean reported, nearly 30 students stormed into the halls of Vanderbilt Chancellor Daniel Diermeier’s office to hold a sit-in, with 30 more students on the steps outside. They were throwing a hissy fit after an amendment to the Vanderbilt Student Government Constitution, which would bar student government funds from going to certain businesses that support Israel, was stripped out by administration officials from a student ballot in late March.

Vanderbilt administration explained to The Tennessean that they decided to do so because the student-led resolution risked running afoul with state and federal laws.

Several videos captured during the protests offer a solid timeline of events. The first shows several unruly students forcing their way into the chancellor’s office lobby by grabbing and pushing past staff.

At various points during the unauthorized demonstration, the agitators screamed at and race-baited black police officers who were trying to quell the situation.

Vanderbilt administration officials next started laying down law on the spoiled crybabies and began suspending them. But this was the least of the protesters’ worries as officials went a few steps further.

They whined officials were “starving” them and not allowing them to take bathroom breaks during their demonstration. Some ended up peeing into water bottles to relieve themselves.

UPDATE: The Vanderbilt administration is reportedly blocking food and bathroom access, according to the protestors.

They became even more upset after learning that officers were given water and food from Panera Bread according to The Vanderbilt Hustler.

Protesters also claimed that one student was “nearing toxic shock” with symptoms such as pain, nausea, and feeling feverish. Despite this, she was not allowed to use the restroom without being removed from the premises.

UPDATE: some of the students seem to be panicking.

They called 9-1-1 because they’re worried one of them could go into toxic shock.

They’re also worried she’ll be arrested if she leaves the building. https://t.co/U08EzaYLG2 pic.twitter.com/NrXAQvuxeu

— Steve McGuire (@sfmcguire79) March 27, 2024

The student decided to remove her tampon during the sit-in.

All student protesters were removed from the building in the early morning hours, just under 24 hours into the sit-in. The Vanderbilt Hustler revealed four were arrested and 16 received suspensions.

A six-term Democratic representative from New Hampshire will not seek re-election this year, according to a local television station.

Rep. Annie Kuster told WMUR-TV in Manchester that she would finish out her term, retiring from the House when the 119th Congress is sworn in next January.

“The congresswoman’s announcement sends a shockwave through New Hampshire politics, creating an open race for the 2nd Congressional District seat she has held since 2013,” the outlet reported.

“NH-02 covers a wide and diverse swath of the state from Nashua to the Canadian border, and it’s possible several Democrats will step forward to run,” it explained.

Kuster, 67, has led the New Democrat Coalition, a group the outlet described as “centrist” and “pro-business” — words that haven’t been used much in recent years in connection with any politician with a “D” after his or her name.

Her leadership of that group will continue, Kuster told WMUR, though it wasn’t clear whether she meant that she’d lead it for the remainder of her term or in some way thereafter.

The former might have been implied by Kuster’s statement that she wanted a life with her family, apart from politics.

“I spent a lot of time with my family this winter, and we did a lot of skiing and traveling, and I’ve realized I have a life, and my husband Brad has been very patient,” she told WMUR.

“I want to spend time with my sons as they’re heading into their married lives — and hopefully grandchildren on the way one day,” she added.

On the other hand, she also sounded like she was interested in supporting other Democratic politicians, even if she would no longer be one herself.

“And I really want to lean in on helping my colleagues and these fantastic candidates that we’ve recruited,” she told the outlet.

Kuster had come to be known as a champion of “several issues,” WMUR said, such as the “opioid crisis,” which she reached across the aisle to former Republican Rep. Frank Guinta to create a congressional task force to address.

She was also not shy about sharing her own experiences as a survivor of sexual assault, including once when she was a legislative assistant on Capitol Hill when she was 23.

“Ending Sexual Violence” is one of 12 “Key Issues” listed on her House web page, along with “Addressing the Addiction and Mental Health Crisis,” “Supporting Small Businesses,” and several others.

“As founder and co-chair of the Bipartisan Addiction and Mental Health Task Force, I have pushed for comprehensive legislation to address this crisis and expand access to treatment and recovery services,” Kuster said, according to WMUR.

“As founder and co-chair of the Bipartisan Task Force to End Sexual Violence, I have worked across the aisle to tackle the scourge of sexual violence and equip survivors with the support they need to recover,” she added.

Kuster posted an announcement of her retirement on her House web page, as well, an excerpt of which appears below:

“When I was first elected to Congress in 2012, I promised to bring a new approach to Washington. Over the past 12 years, I have been proud to do just that. As founder and co-chair of the Bipartisan Addiction and Mental Health Task Force, I have pushed for comprehensive legislation to address this crisis and expand access to treatment and recovery services. As founder and co-chair of the Bipartisan Task Force to End Sexual Violence, I have worked across the aisle to tackle the scourge of sexual violence and equip survivors with the support they need to recover. As chair of the New Democrat Coalition, I have helped bridge the partisan divide and find commonsense solutions to the biggest issues facing our country. While there is still more to be done, we have made great progress.

“This work has been many things — rewarding, frustrating, inspiring, and challenging. But, more than anything, it has been an honor. As your congresswoman, I have had the chance to meet directly with the people who make New Hampshire such an incredible place to live, work, and raise a family. From our small business owners to our first responders, farmers, teachers, veterans, health care providers, seniors, and local leaders, every conversation has been insightful and has guided my efforts in Washington.

“As I look to the future, I am excited by the work and opportunities that lie ahead. We all have a role to play in standing up for what we believe in, advocating for a better future, and pursuing the change that we want to see. I always said I was not going to stay in Congress forever — I will not be seeking re-election in 2024. 

“I will continue serving the people of New Hampshire until the end of my term in January 2025. In the months ahead, I will use my time to help Congress build on the progress we have made and finish the job for the American people. I will continue to lead the New Democrat Coalition to help pass comprehensive, bipartisan legislation to move our country forward.

“Thank you to the people of New Hampshire’s Second District who have trusted me to represent them for the past 12 years. Thank you to my husband Brad, my sons Zach and Travis, and my family for always standing with me through this journey, every step of the way. It’s the honor of my life to represent my home and my community, bringing our Granite State values and the voices of New Hampshire’s Second District to Congress. 

“Onward!”

WMUR noted that the open seat she is leaving would naturally be expected to be somewhat more competitive in November than if she were defending it as a six-term incumbent.

The station also suggested that Kuster “could play a pivotal role in choosing her successor,” but hadn’t expressed an opinion on the subject.

FLYING BLIND: 1,600 Airplanes Have Been Affected by GPS Jamming Over the Baltic Sea Just in the Last Four Days!

There’s an escalation on the dangerous skies above us.

Back in November, I wrote here in TGP that electronic warfare is now endangering unsuspecting civilians, with no remedy in sight.

You can check out on: Terror in the Skies: Civilian Airplanes Are Getting Their GPS Hacked Over the Middle East – Experts Have No Idea How to Deal With It.

The scary cyberattacks are altering civilian planes’ in-flight GPS, causing ‘critical navigation failures’ onboard the aircraft, attacks that aviation leaders and experts guaranteed was ‘impossible’.

Also, we learn that the professionals tasked with countering it have no idea how to fix this new alarming security failure.

The world has become a much more dangerous place, lately. On the seas, on land – and certainly in the air.

Earlier this month we returned to this subject of malicious activity around the planet, where aircraft have their GPS are spoofed or jammed, and now, the problem is starting to impact even the untouchable state leaders, as it arose that Russia has jammed the satellite signal on an aircraft used by defense minister Grant Shapps.

Rea more on: Russians Jam GPS of Plane Carrying UK’s Defense Minister Shapps Over Kaliningrad Enclave.

GPS jamming can make pilots miscalculate their position.

So now, we find out that more than 1,600 planes have been hit by a mysterious GPS interference in the last 4 days, an attack that many fear Russia to be responsible for.

Daily Mail reported:

“Planes flying over and around the Baltic Sea in northern Europe have been suffering technical problems caused by jamming since Sunday [23], with 1614 planes, mostly civilian, reporting problems since then.

While most of them appear to be taking place in Polish airspace, OSINT blogs have reported that planes flying in German, Danish, Swedish, Latvian and Lithuanian airspace have suffered interference problems.”

The planes are suffering from GPS jamming, which confuses pilots and make them believe they are in a different location than they actually are.

The uptick in interference can reportedly be attributed to the Kaliningrad region, where Russia is believed to have significant resources for the use of Electronic Warfare.

“A Lithuanian defence source told the outlet: ‘Russian armed forces have a wide spectrum of military equipment dedicated for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) interference, including jamming and spoofing, at varying distances, duration and intensity’.”

TikTok Censors Warning About Harmful Hormonal Birth Control Pill

Women’s health is actually being prioritized and it pisses off the leftist media. A battle has broken out between TikTok and women who warn about the dangers of birth control pills. A group called “28,” that focuses on providing nutrition, tips, and advice for women and girls who get their period, released a detox vitamin regime to make it easier to wean yourself off of hormonal birth control. TikTok removed the group's advertisement for the detox regiment as well as numerous other videos warning about negative effects of the birth control pill.  Now, I cannot speak for every woman who is on or has been on the hormonal birth control pill, but I can speak to the fact that anything that you put in your body with chemicals to stop, change or alter your normal bodily functions has the potential to cause negative effects. Anyone with a brain should be able to realize that. The hormonal birth control pill, which can be prescribed or ordered online, is a concoction of drugs that a menstruating woman takes daily to prevent pregnancy. It works by stopping ovulation, a regular, monthly occurrence. If you don’t ovulate (release an egg), even if you have unprotected sex, you won’t get pregnant. The pill also thickens the mucus on the cervix, which makes it harder for sperm to swim up to an egg for implantation. Planned Parenthood calls it a “sticky security guard.” Though the pill is most commonly used to prevent pregnancy, it has also been used by women for acne prevention as well as to help with irregularly painful periods. While it seems simple, the pill is chock full of hormones which have various negative effects. Birth control pills can: cause severe hormonal imbalances, cause women to lose their sex drives, become depressed, have a different attraction for men (example: many women on the pill are attracted to less masculine men), gain a significant amount of weight, cause liver disorders, heart attack, stroke, fertility and many more issues. All that and they aren’t even 100% effective for preventing pregnancy.  These risks were noticed by 28, hence their “Toxic Breakup: Birth Control Detox” product.  The supplement is an all natural product that aims to detoxify, replenish and balance and is sold on the 28 website. Using all natural ingredients, the detox is a way to break up with the "toxicity" of the birth control pill. When it was released on March 23, 28 posted a video ad on its TikTok account. Shortly after, TikTok removed the video “after they guaranteed its approval ahead of launch and even committed to boosting it across the app,” 28 founder Brittany Martinez tweeted. As of Wednesday, the video has not been reinstated on TikTok. Similarly, users, like Daily Wire’s Brett Cooper, had videos about the dangers of the hormonal birth control pill removed for “misinformation.” While this is a blatant breach of free speech, The Washington Post (WaPo) was thrilled that TikTok is helping to keep women in the dark about these dangers. On March 21, the liberal outlet released a piece titled “Women are getting off birth control amid misinformation explosion.” Here’s how it began: Search for “birth control” on TikTok or Instagram and a cascade of misleading videos vilifying hormonal contraception appear: Youngwomen blaming their weight gain on the pill. Right-wing commentators claiming that some birth control can lead to infertility. Testimonials complaining of depression and anxiety. Hate to break it to you WaPo, but none of those videos are misleading. Nonetheless, the outlet boasted about its role in getting Cooper’s video removed.  “Brett Cooper, a media commentator for the conservative Daily Wire, argued in a viral TikTok clip that birth control can impact fertility, cause women to gain weight and even alter whom they are attracted to. It racked up over 219,000 ‘likes’ before TikTok removed it following The Post’s inquiry,” the article insisted.  WaPo also insisted that 28, along with influencers online telling women about these harms, help "drive potential legislation limiting access to hormonal birth control," later linking them with "antiabortion activists." Now why might WaPo and the left be pissed that women are waking up to the reality of the situation - that these pills are not the saviors like we were once told? Well, it could be a number of things. Primarily, I'd bet it's the left’s odd desire to have extreme control over people. Think about it, women needing to detox from a drug may make them stay on it longer to avoid having to wean themselves off. That brings in more money for big pharma. Similarly, when women are on “the pill,” they could become more depressed, then boom, more money for anti-depressants and therapies. Women may fall in love with less masculine men, which makes society weaker. Women may not be able to get pregnant on their own as a result of the drug, so...more money goes to IVF.  Funnily enough, even though WaPo blatantly advocated for censorship of videos and content that exposes the risks of the birth control pill, the author insisted that there’s a worry that women are “facing a lack of accurate information — and choices.” It’s important that women know the risks of these drugs before taking them. Menstruating women and girls should have the opportunity to know any pros and cons surrounding the drug, and censoring women's experiences from the pills are no way to help provide that abundance of information. This isn't a "conservative" issue. This is a human issue and should be treated as one. Not only is free speech under attack, but the actual health of women is as well. That’s two things the left cares nothing about apparently.

Trump Says Conflicted Daughter of Far-Left Judge who Hit Him with Gag Order in Stormy ‘Hush Payment’ Case Posted Photo of Him Behind Bars

President Trump on Wednesday said the daughter of the far-left judge who just hit him with a gag order in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case posted a photo of him behind bars.

Trump called on NY Judge Juan Merchan to recuse himself after his daughter who represents “Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Liberals,” posted a picture of him in jail.

An X account allegedly belonging to Loren Merchan (it hasn’t been confirmed to be her account) posted a photo of Trump behind bars. The photo has since been changed to a picture of Kamala Harris.

Trump’s lawyers previously moved to force Judge Merchan to recuse himself after it was revealed his daughter Loren Merchan worked with the Biden-Harris campaign.

Trump went off on the judge and called for him to recuse himself from the case.

“Judge Juan Merchan, who is suffering from an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (whose daughter represents Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Liberals, has just posted a picture of me behind bars, her obvious goal, and makes it completely impossible for me to get a fair trial) has now issued another illegal, un-American, unConstitutional “order,” as he continues to try and take away my Rights. This Judge, by issuing a vicious “Gag Order,” is wrongfully attempting to deprive me of my First Amendment Right to speak out against the Weaponization of Law Enforcement, including the fact that Crooked Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and their Hacks and Thugs are tracking and following me all across the Country, obsessively trying to persecute me, while everyone knows I have done nothing wrong!” Trump said on Wednesday.

Trump continued: “So, let me get this straight, the Judge’s daughter is allowed to post pictures of her “dream” of putting me in jail, the Manhattan D.A. is able to say whatever lies about me he wants, the Judge can violate our Laws and Constitution at every turn, but I am not allowed to talk about the attacks against me, and the Lunatics trying to destroy my life, and prevent me from winning the 2024 Presidential Election, which I am dominating? Maybe the Judge is such a hater because his daughter makes money by working to “Get Trump,” and when he rules against me over and over again, he is making her company, and her, richer and richer. How can this be allowed?”

Trump called on Judge Merchan to recuse himself immediately.

“The Judge has to recuse himself immediately, and right the wrong committed by not doing so last year. If the Biased and Conflicted Judge is allowed to stay on this Sham “Case,” it will be another sad example of our Country becoming a Banana Republic, not the America we used to know and love. These are Election Interfering Witch Hunts. We will crush each one of these Hoaxes, and Make America Great Again!” Trump said in a 3rd Truth Social post.

Hyperbolic MSNBC’s Ronna McDaniel Debacle

The word broke on March 26 that NBC News was reversing its decision to hire former Republican Party chair Ronna McDaniel as a political commentator. MSNBC hosts across the schedule broke out into frenzied denunciations of whichever executive who thought that McDaniel should be paid to speak anywhere on this hypnotically/robotically anti-Trump network.

In one of her typical half-hour jeremiads, Rachel Maddow compared McDaniel to a mobster and a pickpocket. “You wouldn’t—you wouldn’t hire a wise guy, you wouldn’t hire a made man, like a mobster, to work at a DA’s office, right? You wouldn’t hire a pickpocket to work as a TSA screener. And so I find the decision to put her on the payroll inexplicable. And I hope they will reverse their decision.”

There was no need for NBC News to hire McDaniel. One can look at the election results during her tenure at the Republican National Committee and question her expertise at winning elections. But this mobster talk underlines once again that MSNBC is not a “news” channel. It’s a hyperbole channel, constantly fearmongering its audience that the end times are near for democracy.

Maddow claimed this hiring wasn’t about Republicans vs. Democrats. It’s about “bad actors trying to use the rights and privileges of democracy to end democracy.” There are no “fact-checkers” who will get in the way of this talk. Maddow is like Bluto in “Animal House” saying, “when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.” Facts don’t matter. Rallying your audience is all that matters.

This was the essence of Maddow’s rant:

I want to associate myself with all my colleagues both at MSNBC and at NBC News who have voiced loud and principled objections to our company putting on the payroll someone who hasn’t just attacked us as journalists, but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government. Someone who still is trying to convince Americans that this election stuff, it doesn’t really work. That this last election, it wasn’t a real result. That American elections are fraudulent.

Every conservative who’s ever watched Maddow lowlights knows that she was a leader in the Collusion Corps, someone who obsessed night after night over how the 2016 election was fraudulent because the Russians interfered with it. MSNBC doesn’t suggest that every election is fraudulent. It’s only when Democrats lose that they imply (for years) that it was fraudulent.

Since Hillary Clinton lost the election in 2016 and ran around telling people it was stolen from her, Maddow has hosted a series of fawnathons with her. They discussed why Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to back Donald Trump in 2016. In 2018, Clinton even suggested the Russians may have used the National Rifle Association to funnel money into the election.

Maddow concluded by lobbying the executives who allow her on air: “Acknowledge that maybe it wasn’t the right call. It is a sign of strength, not weakness, to acknowledge when you are wrong. It is a sign of strength. And our country needs us to be strong right now.”

That may be the funniest line of all. Maddow is notorious for refusing to concede she’s wrong, especially about Trump.

In 2019, Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple constructed a devastating timeline of all of Maddow’s promotions of the baseless dungpile called the Steele Dossier. He noted Maddow called it “creepy” and “unwarranted” when Michael Isikoff said she’d “given a lot of credence” to the dossier on his podcast.

Why couldn’t she acknowledge she was wrong? Instead, “Maddow declined to provide an on-the-record response to the Erik Wemple Blog.”

Biden’s Border Bloodbath: Illegal Alien Charged with Raping “Mentally Incapacitated” 14-Year-Old Alabama Girl

Joe Biden’s America.

An illegal alien has been charged with raping a “mentally incapacitated” teen in Alabama.

23-year-old Pablo Mendoza, an illegal alien, was charged with first-degree rape after he raped a 14-year-old child on February 20.

It is unclear when or where Mendoza illegally entered the US.

According to WDHN, the minor teen victim was “physically helpless or mentally incapacitated.”

Mendoza is being held in jail without bond and will be deported after his case wraps up.

Karine Jean-Pierre Whitewashes Biden Economy, Flees Follow-Up Questions in Radio Interview

After White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spewed Bidenomics propaganda on the radio, she was smart enough to leave immediately.  Jean-Pierre abruptly left a March 26 interview with 99.3 WBT’s The Brett Winterble Show after fielding questions on President Joe Biden’s age and the high prices Americans face under his administration.  During the interview host and News Director Mark Garrison mentioned high gas and grocery prices, asking Jean-Pierre, “How does Mr. Biden win votes when people don’t have as much disposable income?” Jean-Pierre proceeded to hypocritically blame a pandemic that began in early 2020 for Biden’s struggles before directly proceeding to criticize former President Donald Trump for “leaving the economy in a tailspin” for Biden to handle in 2021. Jean-Pierre said, “You have to remember when the president walked into this administration, there were multiple crises happening. There was COVID...the economy was in a tailspin because of the last administration, because of what President Trump left us with.”  Yes, Jean-Pierre, it is completely fitting to ignore the impact of the pandemic and the lockdowns of 2020 to denigrate Trump’s economic performance, but still insist that the Biden economy be graded on a curve because he took office in 2021 after millions of people were vaccinated.  From this wildly unsound logic, Jean-Pierre then proceeded to paint a favorable comparison between the economy under Biden in 2024 and that of 2023. “Now you’re asking me about gas prices. The president took action on gas prices,” Jean-Pierre said, before adding, “Let’s not forget Russia’s invasion on Ukraine skyrocketed prices of gas and because the president took action, we see we are in a different place than we were a year ago on gas prices, eggs, milk, seafood products, all the important groceries. Those costs have gone down because of what this president has been able to do.”  Sensing danger, Jean-Pierre quickly added, “And with that thank you so much, Mark, have an amazing, amazing day.” The White House press secretary then proceeded to hang up on the radio program.  It’s no wonder Biden’s proud propagandist ended the interview there. Biden did drain 180 million barrels from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve in 2022, which is intended for emergencies. Nevertheless, gas prices are still higher under Biden than under Trump, rising from $2.42 a gallon in Jan. 2021 to $3.33 a gallon in Feb. 2024. Should Americans really be grateful because they remember that things were even worse at another point in the Biden administration? After all, Americans already had to fork over the money. Americans’ average personal savings rate has dropped from 12.8% on Feb. 1, 2021, to 3.8% on Jan. 1, 2024.  Jean-Pierre also avoided any challenge to her claim about Americans spending less at the grocery store. If Jean-Pierre had stayed, she may have faced further unflattering comparisons. Prices have risen 18.5% on Biden’s watch and Americans have been buffeted by 5.6% average monthly inflation under Biden.  Hanging up may save the embattled press secretary some embarrassment, but it’s not going to make Americans any more grateful.  Conservatives are under attack. Contact ABC News at (818) 460-7477, CBS News at (212) 975-3247 and NBC News at (212) 664-6192 and demand they tell the truth about the Bidenomics disaster.

Biden Secretly Considering Granting Amnesty and Giving Green Cards to Millions of Illegals

Joe Biden is considering granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who have lived in the US for over 10 years or have citizen relatives who would “suffer” if they were deported.

According to Politico, similar to Obama’s DACA program, Biden is deciding whether to give the massive group of illegals green cards.

The Democrats are losing the black and Latino voters so they are fiercely working to lock in a new voting bloc.

“Like the Obama administration did in 2012 with the launch of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Biden administration officials are also examining whether there’s an action they could take for a different group of undocumented people who have long resided in the United States, according to the three people familiar with the administration’s planning. One idea that has been floated among administration officials is opening access to the cancellation of removal program for people who have lived in the U.S. for over 10 years and have citizen or resident relatives who would “suffer” if they were deported. If specific requirements are met and an immigration judge approves cancellation of removal, a migrant is able to obtain a green card.” – Politico reported.

The Biden Regime is also looking to fund the influx of illegals who have invaded the US over the last 3 years.

“Administration officials are also discussing ways they can further support state and local officials managing the influx of new arrivals, as Republican governors are expected to continue busing migrants to Democratic-led cities this year.” Politico reported.

Approximately 11 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age males – have invaded the US under Joe Biden’s watch.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants from all over the world are traveling through the Darien Gap en route to the United States every month.

Illegals from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and South and Central America are making the trek to the United States.

Shocking videos of illegals overrunning National Guard members or traversing down steep mountains to cross into the US have been posted online.

Last month a huge line of illegals as far as the eye could see came down a steep mountain and crossed into California.

With His War Mongering in Ukraine and Climate Alarmism in the Brazilian Amazon Jungle, Macron Is Still Leading a Lackluster Government, Taking a Beating at the Polls

Macron and Brazil’s Lula da Silva climate fear-mongering in the Amazon.

Globalist poster boy, French President Emmanuel Macron is doing a lot of things: on one day, he is pushing for WW3 in Ukraine, floating the idea of French boots on the ground, infuriating, as per Bloomberg, the US allies in the process.

Next day, Le Petit Roi is halfway across the planet in the Amazon jungle, along with socialist Brazilian President Lula da Silva, promising financing for his fear-mongering ‘climate change’ alarmism.

Macron is doing a lot of things, but what he is NOT doing is tackling his own country’s grave problems – and the result is that he is taking a beating in the polls ahead of June’s European Parliament elections, with Marine Le Pen’s RN party with a solid lead and what even Politico has to call ‘seemingly unstoppable momentum’.

Which Macron?

So, now, Macron is ‘turning up the heat’ on his top political lieutenants, believing his crack-whipping will get them moving in productive ways.

Politico reported:

“Macron’s game plan ahead of the EU election for tackling the National Rally’s unrelenting rise was to dramatize the fight against the far-right party, emphasizing the clash of ideologies and the Russian threat, according to several French officials. The twin aim was to beat abstention and mobilize Macron’s own voters, and also dissuade voters from turning to rival pro-European candidates such as the Socialist Raphaël Glucksmann and the ecologists.”

The strategy has failed to deliver.

National Rally, led by its current President Jordan Bardella, is polling at 30%, while Macron’s Renew coalition has 21%, with Socialist Glucksmann at 11%.

Macron had to cave repeatedly to fermers’ demands – to no political gain.

National Rally’s lead six months ago was just 5 points, meaning it has almost doubled.

“With plummeting popularity ratings and a soaring public deficit, Macron and his party have an uphill battle to claw back support. And their answer to the National Rally’s relentless rise is to punch back hard.”

The solution, ironic to the core, is that Macron’s political troops, allies of the real life Ukrainian Azov Nazis, have to resort to name-calling RN as ‘worse than Hitler’.

Failing lead candidate of Macron’s Renaissance party Valérie Hayer compared Le Pen with Edouard Daladier, who signed the 1938 Munich agreement with Hitler.

“’It’s the same words, the same arguments, the same debates. We are in Munich in 1938′, she said. ‘In some of its behaviors, the National Rally acts as a spokesperson for Moscow’, said Renew MEP Marie-Pierre Vedrenne, doubling down on the anti-RN rhetoric. ‘If we’d have listened to the National Rally, we’d have Frexit, Sputnik vaccines and we’d have supported Russia’ against Ukraine, she continued.”

Macron oversaw the historic collapse of French post-colonial power in Africa.

Meanwhile, the ‘Grandmaster of Grandstanding’ is boxing for the camera, not ruling out sending Western troops to Ukraine, and calling out Europeans not to be ‘cowards’.

Does he expect that to replace solving the urgent problems of the French population?

“Privately, Macron has turned his frustration with the campaign on his allies. Last Wednesday, he gathered several party heavyweights at the Elysée Palace, including Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Séjourné and campaign director Pieyre-Alexandre Anglade. According to two participants at the meeting, the president called on his troops to better defend the track record of Renew MEPs. ‘We need a wake-up call for our troops, we need to mobilize a lot more’, the president said, according to one of the participants who was granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.

‘Right now, there is more commentary than mobilization, I would like that to change’, he added, according to the same participant.”

It was not for a lack of aristocratic feasts in Versailles Palace.

Less than three months to go before the European parliamentary election in June – his coalition it’s a hot mess.

“Macron is also starting to personally hit the campaign trail. Last week, he was in the port city of Marseille, trying in a working class district to sell his track record on fighting inner-city crime and drugs gangs. The French president also went to great lengths to end a rebellion by French farmers, killing off the Mercosur trade deal with South American countries and lobbying for greater restrictions on Ukrainian food imports.”

Dollar Tree Will Raise Prices Up to $7 in Stores

Discount chain Dollar Tree has announced it will raise its price cap to $7 for some store items.

During a recent fourth-quarter earnings call, CEO of Dollar Tree Rick Dreiling shared, “This year, across 3,000 stores, we expect to expand our multi-price assortment by over 300 items at price points ranging from $1.50 to $7.”

Due to the ongoing inflation under the Biden administration, Dollar Tree was previously forced to raise their prices from $1 to $1.25 in 2021.

The $7 price cap will be implemented in the fourth quarter, and at the beginning of June, a $5 price cap will be temporarily set.

Dollar Tree’s announcement comes just weeks after the discount chain announced it would close up to 1,000 stores of its sister chain, Family Dollar.

Per USA Today:

Discount retail giant Dollar Tree said that it would raise the price cap in its stores to $7 in its fourth quarter earnings call earlier this month.

“This year, across 3,000 stores, we expect to expand our multi-price assortment by over 300 items at price points ranging from $1.50 to $7,” Dollar Tree CEO Rick Dreiling said in the call on March 13.

A $5 cap was set in June, according to Yahoo Finance. In 2021 the company raised the base price of items to $1.25.

The higher cost items will include food, pet and personal care items, though not all items will be at the $7 price cap.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Dollar Tree, which owns Family Dollar, announced it would close 600 Family Dollar stores in the first half of 2024 and 370 stores within the next several years.

Dollar Tree also announced they will close 30 stores as their leases expire.

The news comes as the discount chain has faced difficulties maintaining profits due to inflation and facing significant fines for violating U.S. product safety standards after it was discovered Family Dollar warehouses were filled with live and dead rodents.

The Many Ways a Porous Border Means Crime Without Boundaries

Soldiers put concertina wire in a location along the Southwest border of the United States near Hidalgo, Texas. CBP photo, sourced from the CBP report ‘Border Crisis: CBP’s Response.

This story originally was published by Real Clear Wire

By James Varney & Abigail Degnan
Real Clear Wire

When President Biden’s supporters attacked him for describing the man who allegedly murdered Georgia co-ed Laken Reilly as an “illegal,” they shined a light on one of the most contested words in American politics.

The progressive push to describe border crossers as undocumented or unauthorized can also serve to downplay and obscure the massive issue of crime perpetrated and spawned by the influx of millions of migrants since Biden was elected – often in ways that leave the migrants themselves as victims.

While migrant advocates argue that illegal arrivals commit crimes at lower rates than Americans, the claim is unverifiable because the federal government and most states do not break down crimes by immigration status.

Criminologists also note that it ignores the vast web of statutory crimes concurrent with illegal immigration – drug smuggling, human trafficking, child labor violations, prostitution, the black market in employment, and so on.

What remains undeniable by the law of averages is that the massive surge in immigration since the Biden administration relaxed border policies – a surge that it puts at more than 4 million people, but other sources millions more – has been accompanied by much more crime, however unquantifiable.

Millions of migrants, though not all, run afoul of laws by their situation more than by overtly malign criminal intent. But their first step across the border is a lawbreaking one, and it is often followed by life on the law’s margins: living in the U.S. without insurance or proper work papers, providing illicit labor for unscrupulous or blasé employers, turning to black markets for counterfeit Social Security cards, and often becoming targets for robbers or extortionists. Their desire to come to America creates a vast pool of criminality involving them or those illegally profiting from them.

“On some criminal matters, like homicides, we’ve got a good sense of the scale there whether we solve them all or not,” said Alex Nowrasteh, a vice president at the Cato Institute who studies the economic impact of immigration. “But some of this other stuff is like all black markets in that it is opaque behavior. We don’t know how much crime there might be and in a sense I think it’s sort of unknowable.”

An outer layer of this criminal onion is the so-called “coyotes” who smuggle migrants to the southern border. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which is sympathetic to the plight of refugees, paints a brutally stark picture of the  exploitive lawbreakers who lurk behind the caravans and trucks and trains heading north.

“Some criminal groups view migrants as simply one of many commodities to be smuggled, alongside drugs and firearms,” it noted in a 2018 report. “Since the smuggling of migrants is a highly profitable illicit activity with a relatively low risk of detection, it is attractive to criminals.”

The United Nations also acknowledges the near impossibility of quantifying these criminal enterprises. “Assessing the real size of this crime is a complex matter, owing to its underground nature and the difficulty of identifying when irregular migration is being facilitated by smugglers,” it said.

In order to pay back these smugglers or the people willing to “host” them in the U.S., many migrants – no one knows how many – are often dragooned into illicit behavior.

“Even people who may come here with no criminal intent at all may find themselves involved in some sort of criminal activity because the cartels that control the immigration channels are going to get their money one way or another,” said Ira Mehlman, media director for the Federation of American Immigration Reform, which seeks policies to seal the border from illegal penetrations. “Going to work for the cartels is one way they can pay off their debts. Others may find themselves pressed into indentured servitude or, even worse, being trafficked in the sex trades.”

Although they gets little attention in the United States, the crimes associated with migration begin south of the border. Since Joe Biden sent a clear signal while running for president that he would welcome mass immigration, tens of thousands of people along the Central American isthmus have been inspired to migrate and have become victims too. Vulnerable and poor people making the more than 2,000-mile trek from the Darién Gap in Panama to the Texas border have been preyed upon physically and economically, contributing to the enormous human cost.

“As millions of people have put themselves needlessly in the hands of cartels and smugglers to make the journey to the Southwest border, an untold number have suffered violence, degradation, and abuse at the hands of these ruthless organizations, while countless others have perished or simply been left to die in the jungles and deserts along the way,” according to the majority report from the House Committee on Homeland Security last October.

Todd Bensman, a writer with the conservative Center for Immigration Studies who has traveled extensively along the northward immigration routes, said travelers are frequently victimized and crime has exploded along with record increases in the numbers of people on the move.

“It’s not all about killings – they are getting raped and robbed, too,” Bensman said. “There are loan sharks who let victims know they know where family members are located – that’s a crime. And people are desperate, they are forced to steal food, there have been assaults on police, and recently a camp in Panama was burned down.”

Criminologists say part of the problem in measuring migrant-related crime in the United States is “sanctuary” jurisdictions that do not cooperate with federal immigration agencies. Sanctuary enforcement is also not a category traditionally tracked by law enforcement agencies. Nowrasteh said that several years ago he sent Freedom of Information Act requests to all 50 states seeking data on crime committed by or on immigrants and only Texas offered a response. Since then, he believes, Georgia has begun amassing statistics, but the state has not yet issued any public reports.

Grim arithmetic suggests the human costs of the unprecedented tide of illegal immigration under Biden, according to multiple reports and congressional testimony. A case in point is the hundreds of thousands of “unaccompanied alien children,” the innocuous-sounding phrase employed by a bureaucracy focused on avoiding the use of “illegals” who are newly arrived in the Biden years. Their oversight and handling has been mishandled, unintentionally or otherwise, by federal agencies, with the results of minors being trafficked and U.S. child labor laws being violated.

A 2023 report by the conservative Heritage Foundation found arrests for human trafficking rose by 50% and convictions for the crime by 80% in federal fiscal year 2022. Of those trafficked, 72% were immigrants, most here illegally, the report concluded. There was bipartisan outrage last July when the Labor Department revealed illegal child labor cases had risen by 44% in the last year.

The impacts are seen across the United States. The New York Post reports that “a street in Corona, Queens, has been transformed “into the city’s boldest open-air market for sex – one so popular with pervs that it’s advertised on YouTube. As police enforcement wanes and immigration surges nearly a dozen brothels have [also] set up shop along Roosevelt Avenue near Junction Boulevard.”

RealClearInvestigations has reported that many of the drug dealers who have turned San Francisco’s Tenderloin district into an open-air drug market are migrants connected to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel. “The drug pushers are easy to spot: Unlike the users, they look healthy and wear clean clothes,” Leighton Woodhouse reported. “They’re almost universally young men, mostly Honduran (on the streets of San Francisco they’re called “Hondos”).”

Describing the plight of “twelve-year-old roofers in Florida and Tennessee,” “underage slaughterhouse workers in Delaware, Mississippi and North Carolina, and “children sawing planks of wood on overnight shifts in South Dakota,” the New York Times has reported that “migrant children, who have been coming into the United States without their parents in record numbers, are ending up in some of the most punishing jobs in the country.”

Millions of migrants working for legal businesses are also breaking the law. RCI has reported that “the historic surge of illegal immigrants across America’s southern border is fueling a hidden crime spree few in Washington seem willing or able to address: widespread identity theft victimizing unwitting Americans perpetrated by migrants who need U.S. credentials to work. … Federal authorities have found that well over 1 million are using Social Security numbers belonging to someone else – i.e. stolen or “shared” with a relative or acquaintance – or numbers that are fabricated.”

Such theft implicates many American citizens, who hire migrants with no such documents or who turn a blind eye to potentially stolen IDs.

Other Americans fall victim to crime connected to migration. For example, seizures of fentanyl, the synthetic painkiller the Centers for Disease Control blamed for a record 112,000 overdose deaths in 2023, have skyrocketed. In 2021, law enforcement agencies seized some 11.2 thousand pounds of the lethal drug, but in just two years the Chinese-abetted trade through Mexico has more than doubled, hitting 27,000 pounds last year, according to Customs and Border Patrol figures. Some immigration and drug experts believe the vast numbers of people crossing the border make it harder to interdict the flow of narcotics into the U.S.

Just two days before Biden used the description of “illegal” to describe Jose Antonio Ibarra, the 26-year-old suspected Venezuelan gang member accused of killing Laken Riley after entering the U.S. illegally in Texas in 2022, the Texas Department of Public Safety heralded the third anniversary of its “Operation Lone Star.” The figures offered a window into the law enforcement situation on what is something like Ground Zero of the illegal immigration to the U.S.

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott described the operation as a direct consequence of the Biden administration’s deliberate failure to enforce existing U.S. immigration law. As of March, Operation Lone Star has resulted in “over 503,800 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 40,400 criminal arrests, with more than 36,100 felony charges,” the state’s Department of Public Safety said. In addition, authorities reported seizing “over 469 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission.”

Disputed, and Elusive, Crime Stats

Despite all this, many immigration advocates continue to insist that immigrants tend to commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans.

The news and social media may be filled with headline-grabbing incidents, such as the gang of migrants in New York City who beat police officers in Times Square. But Nan Wu, research director of the liberal American Immigration Council, told RCI the idea the U.S. is under some tidal crime wave due to the millions of illegal immigrants that have poured into the country during Biden’s first term is a sensationalist myth.

Perhaps the most widely cited study of this kind is one based on Texas statistics from 2012 to 2018 published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

“Relative to undocumented immigrants,” the study reported, “US-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes.”

But not all experts agree. Jason Richwine and Steven Caramota of CIS have criticized the PNAS study for failing to take into account further discoveries made by Texas authorities. “It is a misleading claim for several reasons,” the two claimed. “First, studies claiming it as fact are inescapably flawed, because most cities and states do not keep or publish data on criminals’ immigration status, rendering suspect any conclusions drawn from what data is available.”

Because the rates increase when the immigration status of people already serving time in Texas jails is taken into account, PNAS did not capture the full extent of the problem, Richwine told RCI.

“People have been way too hasty to draw firm conclusions because it’s not clear that Texas’ [statistics] are definitive – it’s not,” he said. “More states should do what Texas does and Texas should be more transparent about what they’re doing.”

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to questions from RCI about migrant crime, nor did the Texas Department of Public Safety. But the dispute underscores the truth, acknowledged by all sides, that the paucity of reliable information leaves the only certain conclusion that there is more crime, regardless of perpetrator, because of the influx of more than 7 million people in three years.

“With law enforcement agencies in some cases it is willful blindness because they refuse to cooperate in any meaningful way,” Mehlman said. “If they acknowledge the extent of the crime committed by illegal aliens, they would have to explain to the public why they continue to maintain sanctuary policies that shield criminal aliens.”

There are also other problems with the widely cited figures on crime rates. One that plagues all crime research, as Herrmann told RCI, is that crimes are under-reported. Experts must rely on available law enforcement data and it is understood that for various reasons such figures are not comprehensive.

‘Intellectual Fraud’

The numbers are misleading for another reason, too. Border Patrol agents told RCI that most people coming across illegally give themselves up quickly, knowing that current policies will allow them to be released into the U.S. with an expectation they appear for a court date years later. But the border crossers looking to stay in the shadows are more likely to be those with criminal pasts or inclinations, meaning a higher percentage of them would be among the at least 1.6 million “gotaways” Customs and Border Protection estimates have entered the U.S. illegally since 2021.

In fiscal 2023, it said in its most recent annual report, U.S. Enforcement and Removal Operations “removed 3,406 known or suspected gang members, an increase of 27.7% over FY2022, and 139 known or suspected terrorists, a 148.2% increase over FY2022.” It elaborated: “ERO officials made 170,590 administrative arrests, representing a 19.5% increase in overall arrests from FY2022. Of the total arrests ICE conducted in FY2023, 43% of those arrested had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, up from 32.5% in FY2022.”

The House Committee on Homeland Security majority report in October said Border Patrol had “recorded 35,450 arrests of illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds, approximately 14,000 more total such arrests than the previous four fiscal years combined.”

Those apprehended with prior convictions had been found to have committed a wide range of crimes including assault, battery, domestic violence, and other sexual offenses, as well as driving under the influence, burglary, and theft, the report noted.

The committee’s Republican members were harshly critical of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ handling of immigration, and their report was one more reason Mayorkas was impeached in February.

The harsh reality, one often voiced by survivors – Laken Riley’s parents among them – is that the horrific migrant crimes that draw national outrage might not have happened at all if laws were enforced.

“We have no idea if that would have changed anything, but he’s here illegally,” Laken Riley’s heartbroken father, Jason, said Mar. 18. “That he might not have been here had we had secure borders.”

In the aftermath of Riley’s shocking abduction and killing, her parents and others were incredulous that a man with prior arrests since his illegal entry to the U.S. and alleged ties to Venezuelan criminal gangs was in the country at all. The Border Patrol Union laid the blame squarely on Biden’s border policies.

Christopher Herrmann, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said such anguish is understandable, and said that trying to view the incidents dispassionately offers “nothing that will be satisfying to any victim.” Yet he said the same argument could be extended to other horrible murders – gun crimes, for instance, in which so often the lethal weapon was illegally obtained and possessed. The crime should never have happened, in other words, if laws were properly observed.

But Bensman finds that logic unpersuasive. Because opening the border has been a deliberate, sustained policy of the Biden administration, it has introduced the criminal, rather than his tools, into the equation.

“You can’t compare ‘illegal crimes’ to crimes by illegals – it’s the wrong comparison because the second one is 100% preventable and unnecessary whereas we’re stuck, as it were, with U.S. crime. The whole ‘they’re not as bad’ argument about illegal immigrants is an intellectual fraud, it’s giving them an escape hatch when here it’s clear: the perpetrator should have been deported.”

Released Israeli Hostage Amit Soussana Details Sexual Assault by Hamas Captor

The Gateway Pundit reported on the admission of a captured Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist that his team raped Israeli women during the October 7th Hamas terrorist attacks.

Evidence of the use of rape by Hamas terrorists as a tool of war has been collected by Lahav 433, Israel’s top national police unit.

In December, The New York Times published a lengthy report after a two-month-long investigation into the sexual violence and brutality Israeli women faced at the hands of Hamas terrorists.

The report culminated from interviews with 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers, and rape counselors.

A report from The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel (AARCC) detailed the systematic nature of the “sadistic sex crimes” committed by Hamas. 

Now, hostage Amit Soussana, 40, who was released in late November, has stepped forward in a courageous interview with The New York Times to share her experience in captivity and the sexual assaults and abuse she was subjected to by her Hamas captor.

Soussana, an Israeli lawyer, was abducted from her home during the  Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on civilians and was beaten and dragged into Gaza by at least 10 men, where she was held for 55 days.

In the interview, she shares how she was held alone and chained up in a child’s bedroom where the attacks occurred.

The New York Times:

Around Oct. 24, the guard, who called himself Muhammad, attacked her, she said.

Early that morning, she said, Muhammad unlocked her chain and left her in the bathroom. After she undressed and began washing herself in the bathtub, Muhammad returned and stood in the doorway, holding a pistol.

“He came towards me and shoved the gun at my forehead,” Ms. Soussana recalled during eight hours of interviews with The New York Times in mid-March. After hitting Ms. Soussana and forcing her to remove her towel, Muhammad groped her, sat her on the edge of the bathtub and hit her again, she said.

He dragged her at gunpoint back to the child’s bedroom, a room covered in images of the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants, she recalled.

“Then he, with the gun pointed at me, forced me to commit a sexual act on him,” Ms. Soussana said.

Although reluctant to share the horrific, personal details of her abuse, Ms. Soussana said she decided to speak out “to raise awareness about the plight of the hostages still in Gaza.”

Amit Soussana’s courageous testimony detailing her horrific captivity is one of many harrowing accounts from hostages held by Hamas.

NY Times Reporter Carl Hulse Lards His 'News' Report with 'Ultraright' Labels

There was some impressively dense anti-Republican labeling in the lead of veteran congressional reporter Carl Hulse’s Sunday New York Times story. The online headline certainly delivered the flavor – not just “right,” but “far right,” not just “conservative,” but “ultraconservative”! "Revenge” isn’t exactly neutral either. The Far Right Lost Badly and Wants Its Revenge Bipartisan spending legislation approved by Congress represented a major defeat for ultraconservatives, who immediately turned on Speaker Mike Johnson.” The labeling and tone got no less biased as it went. The story fits Hulse’s pattern of painting Republicans as extremists -- a tactic he eagerly employed long before Donald Trump descended the Trump Tower escalator in 2015. In other words, one can’t blame it on Trump. As 2023 opened with Republicans newly in control of the House, the far-right members of the party considered themselves empowered when it came to federal spending, with increased muscle to achieve the budget cuts of their dreams. Today’s GOP rarely proposes actual “budget cuts,” making that a red herring. But it turned out that many of their Republican colleagues did not share their vision of stark fiscal restraint. Or at least not fervently enough to go up against a Democratic Senate and White House to try to bring it into fruition. Instead, Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday pushed through a $1.2 trillion bipartisan package to fund the government for the rest of the year, with none of the deep cuts or policy changes that ultraconservatives had demanded. Those on the right fringe have been left boiling mad and threatening to make him the second Republican speaker to be deposed this term. “The speaker failed us today,” declared Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, after one of his ultraright colleagues, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, filed a measure to potentially force a vote to remove Mr. Johnson, over a spending plan she called “atrocious” and “a betrayal.” In all, Hulse made five repetitions of the “far right” insult, including the online headline, three “ultraconservatives” and one “ultraright” to spice things up. Hulse nodded approval at the final, Democrat-pleasing spending bill, saying it “represented fairly traditional compromise measures. They gave each party some wins, some losses and some election-year talking points….” But the legislation was assailed by members of the House Freedom Caucus, the far-right bloc that has bedeviled its own party’s speakers for years, as a betrayal by Mr. Johnson, for both its content and the way it was handled. One “far-right” wasn’t enough. The very next paragraph began: Not only did members of the far right not get the steep cuts and severe border restrictions they had envisioned, they were also unable to secure the conservative policy riders they had sought to stop the “weaponization” of the Justice Department, with most of the truly contentious proposals stripped out because Democrats would not accept them. Hulse pulled the same thing in a March 8 "news analysis," with six uses of "far right" and an "ultraconservative" to boot. Nobody in Hulse's House is on the "far left."

FOX News reported on Wednesday that illegal alien families in New York City will receive more assistance than US Military families.

Carly Shimkus covered this shocking revelation this morning on FOX News.
Carley Shimkus: It’s part of a 53 million dollar program, giving the average family of four more than $1,400 per month. It’s more than the allowance for some deployed troops. Fox News Digital breaking it all down, saying, While an average military family is suffering from a deficit of $1,860 over a period of nine months, a similarly sized illegal migrant family is being given nearly seven times more. Joining us off the grid, Fox and Friends Weekend co-host Will Cain and Pete Hegset. Good morning to you guys. Will, what do you think about this? Good morning.

This comes from the latest article by Bess Blackburn.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams plans to pilot prepaid debit cards to 500 illegal migrant families who have already received a voucher to stay in select hotels for 28 days — credit cards which can be used at illegal migrants’ leisure for up to $10,000 each in taxpayer money with no ID check and no fraud control. 

(…)

Then there is the American service member — who not only obeys the rule of law but puts his or her life on the line to protect it and our way of life. How is it that in New York, illegal migrants receive better compensation than American service members do while deployed overseas?

While on the Korean Response Force, Captain Christopher Wilson wrote a letter to Congress on behalf of his soldiers. He noted that several soldiers in his company were making less while deployed than while serving stateside. He rightly called this discrepancy “unacceptable.” 

The Military Times reported that in Wilson’s company, enlisted soldiers always receive $452.56 a month in basic allowance for sustenance. While deployed, however, those soldiers suffered $399.90 in monthly meal deductions, even if they don’t use base dining halls. The only entitlement for the deployment itself which off-set this deduction was $195 a month of assignment incentive pay. 

The current system results in more than $200 lost each month for each deployed soldier and their family. While soldiers with dependents receive an additional $250 per month in family separation allowance, this does not begin to compensate for the actual additional childcare costs of one-parent households.

This means that these soldiers each received about $1,860 less cumulatively during a nine-month deployment than they would have had they not deployed over the same nine months. To add insult to injury, if inflation continues on its current trajectory, the problem will only get worse.

Pete Hegseth and Will Cain covered this story earlier today on FOX News.

EXCLUSIVE: The Final Analysis: Assassination of John F. Kennedy – How Many Shots Did Kennedy Take? – Excerpt From the Latest Book by Jerome Corsi and David Mantik

Excerpt from the New Book: David W. Mantik, M.D., Ph.D. and Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., The Assassination of John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis (2024)

Forensic Analysis of the JFK Autopsy X-Rays in the National Archives Prove Scientifically JFK Took Three Shots to the Head: Two from the Front and One at a Low Angle From the Rear

In 2015, when Michael Chesser, M.D. visited the National Archives, he paid particular attention to the fragment trail near the forehead on the two lateral JFK autopsy skull X-ray films. I [David Mantik] had previously noted the presence of metallic debris at that site in my survey of all metal on the extant films at the Archives. (See Figure 3.9.)

As seen in Figure 3.4, Chesser identified a fragment trail that entered the upper right forehead near the hairline. The trail appears to widen from front to back, consistent with a frontal entry but not with a rear entry. The largest fragment lies at the rear, precisely where it would be expected. There is no obvious exit at the end of the fragment trail—as confirmed by both my OD data and multiple radiologists.

Figure 3.4
Metal Fragment Trail from a Frontal Bullet—Shown Between the Two Blue Diverging Lines, with an Apex at the Forehead.
This bullet entered the right forehead near the hairline; the fragment trail widens to the rear.
The largest metal fragment is circled.

Note: Figures 3.4 through 3.8 are excerpted from his lecture: Michael Z. Chesser, “The Application of Forensic Principles for the Analysis of the Autopsy Skull X-Rays of President Kennedy and a Review of Brain Photographs,” Kennedys and King (formerly CTKA), November 27, 2017.

Chesser presented this visual essay for the mock trial of Lee Harvey Oswald at the South Texas College of Law in Houston, November 16-17, 2017.

Chesser identified the point of entry of this frontal shot as two “white knobby” objects on the inside of the right forehead (Figure 3.5). He determined that these two “white knobby” objects were metallic, and not bone. I had previously noted this as well.

Figure 3.5
Entry Site (Within the Dotted Rectangle) into the Right Forehead. Notice the two “white knobby” objects just inside the frontal (forehead) bone, near the center of the box.

Figure 3.6 is a close-up of the two “white knobby” objects just inside of the right forehead.

Close-up: The “Two “White Knobby” Objects Just Inside the Frontal (Forehead) Bone.

At the entry site (Figure 3.7), Chesser simulated the tiny, almost dust-like, particles. This was high in the right forehead near the hairline.

Figure 3.7
Chesser’s Simulated Fragment Trail Near the Right Forehead.
Fragments are also present at the entry site (to the right of the tiny red arrowhead and inferior to the two “knobby” objects).

Figure 3.8 identifies the entry of this forehead shot. Chesser clarified: “The fragment trail supports a right frontal entry site at approximately this location [referring to the dot placed on Kennedy’s forehead as shown on the photograph]. An entry wound at this location would have been covered by hair, and easily missed by the Parkland personnel, who focused on resuscitation and the profusely bleeding right occipital wound.”[1]

Chesser’s independent observations of the lateral X-ray film precisely mirrored my observations and analysis. In Figure 3.9, I have highlighted (via the long blue line with the arrowhead) the fragment trail from the frontal entry at JFK’s right forehead.[2]

 

Figure 3.9
Bullet Fragment Trail from the Frontal Shot (Thin Oblique Arrow).
This is my reproduction (done at the Archives) of all metallic debris.
The bullet entered the right forehead near the hairline.
The largest ellipse represents an amorphous metallic opacity, possibly mercury. This is not a single piece of solid metal.

The vertical arrow (at the rear) identifies the authentic fragment described in their 302 report by the two FBI agents who attended the JFK autopsy, James Sibert and Francis O’Neill, (labeled in this book as SOF). This was not removed at the autopsy. It served as an anchor in 3D space for the 6.5 mm fake on the AP X-ray film. The fragments in the trail must lie within soft tissue in the right hemisphere. Note that SOF lies too far from the trail to be part of it. Most likely, it represents shrapnel (from the rear).

Copper residue was identified at the holes on the back of the coat and shirt; the holes were likely caused by shrapnel. SOF most likely represents metallic shrapnel from a bullet that struck Elm Street. There are at least three arguments for shrapnel, as follows: (1) at least five witnesses (including several in the Warren Commission [WC] volumes) reported such a bullet (or even bullets) glancing off Elm Street; (2) on the skull X-rays at the Archives, I have observed tiny metal fragments to be widely scattered on both sides of the skull—all government investigations have ignored these; and (3) low energy X-ray scattering[3] showed metal at the holes on the rear of the shirt and coat; spectroscopic data confirmed that this metal was copper, consistent with a (partially) copper-jacketed fragment. On the other hand, no metal was found on the front of the shirt. This negative result for the shirt implies either (1) a non-metallic projectile or (2) an entry superior to the shirt collar. Furthermore, as showed metal at the holes on the rear of the shirt and coat; spectroscopic data[4] confirmed that this metal was copper, consistent with a (partially) copper-jacketed fragment. On the other hand, no metal was found on the front of the shirt. This negative result for the shirt implies either (1) a non-metallic projectile or (2) an entry superior to the shirt collar.[5] Furthermore, as would be expected for shrapnel, the pathologists reported that the back wound was very shallow. For additional evidence that shrapnel caused the back wound, note that the abrasion collar was located at the inferior edge of this wound;[6] this implies a rising projectile. In other words, the back wound was not caused by a descending bullet, e.g., a sabot from the County Records Building.[7]

Stavis “Steve” Ellis, a Dallas Police Department solo motorcycle officer, was in charge of the motorcycle escort. He offered firsthand testimony:

About the time I started on a curve on Elm, I had turned to my right to give signals to open up the intervals since we were fixing to get on the freeway a short distance away. That’s all I had on my mind. Just as I turned around, then the first shot went off. It hit back there.[8]

He saw the shot hit the south side of the curb on Elm Street:

It looked like it hit the concrete or grass there in just a flash, and a bunch of junk flew up like a white or gray color dust or smoke coming out of the concrete.[9]

Ellis explained the concrete impact was from the first shot. After that, he heard two more shots (three shots altogether):

The sounds were all clear and loud and sounded about the same. From where I was, they sounded like they were coming from around where the tall tree was in front of that building [the TSBD]. Of course, I’m forming an opinion based on where I saw that stuff hit the street, so I knew that it had to come from up that way, and I assumed the others came from the same place.[10]

Royce Skelton, a mail clerk at the Texas-Louisiana Freight Bureau, witnessed the assassination from the Triple Overpass. He testified to the WC:

After those two shots, and the car came on down closer to the triple underpass, well, there was another shot—two more shots I heard, but one of them—I saw a bullet, or I guess it was a bullet—I take it for granted it was—hit in front of the President’s car on the cement, and when it did, the smoke carried with it—away from the building [the TSBD].[11]

Skelton testified that when the shot hit the pavement, it “scattered” into a “spray.” He saw spray go westward (in the downhill direction that the limousine was moving).[12]

Harry Holmes was an inspector for the US Post Office Department. He observed the scene via binoculars from his office window on the fifth floor of the terminal annex building at the corner of Houston and Commerce Streets. He testified to the WC about three firecracker-like sounds, one of which caused “dust fly up” that flew “off of President Kennedy.”[13]Mrs. Donald Baker, a bookkeeper in the TSBD, watched the motorcade from the front of the TSBD. She testified to the WC that she saw “sparks” from an apparent firecracker that hit the street behind the limousine as it passed her on Elm Street.[14] Ira David Wood III noted in his extensive JFK Assassination Chronology: “On hearing the first burst of firing, [Dallas County] Sheriff [Bill] Decker glances back and thinks sees a bullet bouncing off the street pavement.” Wood added: “Motorcycle officer James Chaney will also tell newsmen this day [November 22, 1963] that
the first shot missed. It is suggested that JFK is hit by small pieces of the street pavement and stops waving for a moment.”[15]

However, since copper residue was found on the coat and shirt (only on the back), it is unlikely that the clothing holes were caused by bits of street pavement, unless the street was paved with copper.

Chesser summed up his conclusions about the frontal shot to JFK’s right forehead as follows:

This is what I saw on the original right lateral skull x-ray at the archives. There is a gap in the bone—not very big, maybe 3 mm, but remember that this is a composite of all the material between the x-ray machine and the film—when viewed from the side, a hole in the frontal bone may not be seen at all, and if it is, it won’t appear as wide as its actual width. I think that this defect is probably due to a combination of an entry wound and associated radial fracture line(s).[16]

He explained his findings:

The most important finding here is the proximity of these tiny metallic fragments to this bone defect. This location, on the intracranial side of the bony defect, is highly suggestive of an entry wound. One of the principles of skull ballistics is that the largest fragments travel the furthest from the entry site, with the smallest fragments traveling the least distance, and that is exactly what is seen on this right lateral skull x-ray. Tiny fragments were seen on the inner side of this right front skull defect, and the largest fragments were noted in the back of the skull.[17]

Chesser concluded that the fragment trail was due to a bullet entry at the right forehead near the hairline. He added that on the AP X-ray film, the fragment trail is located superiorly, trailing upward and backward on the right side. [18]

In James DiEugenio’s and Oliver Stone’s documentary JFK: Destiny Betrayed (the four-hour version of Stone’s 2021 JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass), there is a segment in which Drs. Chesser, Aguilar, and I discuss the frontal shot to JFK’s right forehead.

Narrator [Whoopi Goldberg]: After the film JFK was released, several doctors went to the National Archives to view the X-rays of Kennedy’s skull. They saw details in these X-rays which presented yet another problem for the Warren Report’s claim that Kennedy was only shot from the rear.

Dr. David Mantik: Well, the government investigators did claim that there was no evidence of a shot from the front. But they didn’t tell us a few things that were very important, which we have learned only in recent years. We have seen tiny metal fragments right at the forehead.
Dr. Michael Chesser: When you look at the X-rays that are stored at the archives now, on the lateral X-ray there is a fragment trail. It actually expands from front to back, and there are dozens of very tiny dustlike fragment particles up in this location.

Dr. David Mantik: Now why is that important? Well, what we know is that the larger bullet fragments travel farther, whereas the smaller ones tend to stay near the entry site. That’s what we see on these X-rays. In other words, we can reasonably interpret these as being consistent with a frontal bullet, but being radically inconsistent with a posterior bullet.

Dr. Gary Aguilar: And that’s not evidence you can erase. You can’t make that disappear, but that’s incontrovertible evidence of a shot from the right front by a non-jacketed bullet.[19]

In my interview with DiEugenio for the 2021 Oliver Stone documentary is another sequence about the frontal shot to the right forehead:

James DiEugenio: Now, did the House Select Committee say that one of the reasons that they thought that all of the autopsy materials [were] genuine was because there was no evidence of a shot from the front?

Dr. David Mantik: On the lateral X-rays in particular, the findings of Dr. Chesser and myself are quite remarkable. We have seen tiny metal fragments right at the forehead on these lateral X-rays and Chesser in particular has seen a small hole in the skull consistent with the passage of a bullet through the forehead. None of the government investigations have ever told us about these things.

Further, most of the bullet fragments that we see on the lateral skull X-rays are in the anterior half of the skull. These are for the most part very, very tiny. Many of them are only one millimeter or so in size. In other words, we can reasonably interpret these as being consistent with a frontal bullet, but being radically inconsistent with a posterior bullet.[20]

Kinetic energy explains why larger fragments travel farther than smaller fragments. Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv2, where m = mass and v = velocity. Thus, a particle with more mass has more kinetic energy. Besides that, though, smaller fragments decelerate faster—the drag forces on them are relatively greater. Hence, the tiny particles near the forehead suggest an entry near that site. The larger fragment at the right rear provides additional evidence for a frontal entry. As expected, larger fragments travel farther.

WC Exhibit 387 is the official autopsy report (see Appendix J), signed by Humes, Boswell, and Finck. The pathologists noted: “Roentgenograms of the skull reveal multiple minute metallic fragments along a line corresponding with a line joining the above-described small occipital wound and the right supra-orbital ridge.” [21] In his 2021 presentation to the Future of Freedom Foundation,[22] Chesser called this a “bald-faced lie.” He is correct; there is no such trail—no metallic fragments are visible along that low-lying path. This lie by the pathologists suggests that they felt they had to acknowledge the metallic trail, so they simply displaced it downward (by 10 cm) in order to avoid a second headshot.

In September 1977, immediately before the HSCA made the JFK X-ray films public for the first time, Russell Morgan, MD (the sole radiologist for the Clark Panel), almost surely to avert professional humiliation, essentially recanted his earlier opinion. In a statement reported in the newspapers[23] at the time, Morgan said he was no longer so certain that the single bullet that hit JFK’s head from the rear was a Mannlicher-Carcano round. Instead, he suggested that the fragmentation of the bullet (i.e., the fragment trail) was so severe that the bullet might have been a so-called “dum-dum” (hollow point) round. With this statement, Morgan had essentially exonerated Oswald. He had also thereby left the 6.5 mm object free-floating in fantasy land; he simply ignored it! After all, this 6.5 mm fake does not lie on the fragment trail. Nonetheless, it had been the keystone for the Clark Panel’s daft cowlick entry wound—which they had elevated by 10 cm above the WC’s entry site. Morgan also admitted, for the first time, that he now favored exhuming JFK’s body to answer questions about the bullet fragments.[24] Unfortunately, for the truth, he had withheld all of his new-found insights from the Clark Panel report, so that (in 1977) he was nine years too late. In any case, the HSCA ignored his new insights.

In his interview with DiEugenio for the 2021 Stone documentary, Chesser also commented on this sleight-of-hand elevation of the (proposed) rear entry site:

Dr. Michael Chesser: The [Warren] Commission placed the entry of a bullet fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository low in the back of the head, right next to the external occipital protuberance. The Clark Panel and the HSCA moved u[ this wound four inches, into the parietal bone. Four inches is quite a distance from the original location of the entrance wound. They did this for several reasons. They knew that an entry in the lower location would cause enormous damage to the cerebellum—and to their story. In the fake brain photograph the cerebellum is untouched. In the autopsy report, Commander Humes described a fragment trail beginning near the external occipital protuberance. The extant X-ray films disprove this.

James DiEugenio: So there is no diagonal that leads upward in the present X-rays?

Dr. Michael Chesser: The X-rays at the archives do not show a fragment trail extending from low up to here. They show a fragment trail from the back of the parietal bone to the frontal bone. But the fragment trail doesn’t fit the conclusions of the Clark Panel or the House Select Committee. For several reasons. I think the most important reason is that the tiniest fragments on that trail, and there are dozens of them, are very thin or just inside the frontal bone. And the largest fragments are at the back of the skull. This goes against all forensic evidence that the tiniest fragments are not going to travel that far. So it’s impossible for a shot here, in the back of the skull, to result in all of the tiniest bullet fragments in the frontal region.

James DiEugenio: You’re saying that the fact that there’s all these dustlike particles in the front of the skull would indicate a point of entry from the front.

Dr. Michael Chesser: Yes it does. It’s very strong evidence.

James DiEugenio: And you’re also saying that because the larger fragments were in the back, that would also indicate a shot from the front.

Dr. Michael Chesser: Yes.[25] [End of colloquy.]

However, even after this unwarranted elevation by the HSCA, the debris trail is still too high—the trail actually lies noticeably above the HSCA’s entry site. Chesser concurred. During the 2015 JFK Lancer Conference, he stated: “I think that one of the reasons that they [the HSCA] moved the entry wound up was due to the fragment particle trail shown in the right lateral skull x-ray. If a line is drawn from the Warren Commission entry site to the proposed exit site, you’ll notice that the particle trail doesn’t correspond with these sites. The prominent particle trail is located in the upper portion of the skull.”[26]

The HSCA illustrated their hypothetical trajectory for the sole headshot (Figure 3.10).

‘Hip Hop Cop’ Says Someone in Sean ‘Diddy’ Comb’s Inner Circle Is Cooperating with the Feds – Prosecutors Are Using the ‘Epstein Playbook’ on Him

Embattled rapper and music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is now a permanent fixture in the news, after his houses were raided by federal agents in what many see as the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of a major operation against him, comparable to the one that took Jeffrey Epstein down.

Read: BREAKING: Feds Raid Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs Miami and Los Angeles Homes (VIDEO)

A month ago, former producer and videographer ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed a lawsuit claiming the music mogul repeatedly sexually assaulted him from September 2022 to November 2023. Jones accused Combs of groping his genitals and grooming him into having sex.

Read: SHOCKING Lawsuit Filed Against Rapper Sean “P Diddy” Combs with Claims of Sex Trafficking, Drugging Underage Girls, Shootings, Coverups and More – Names J-Lo, Cuba Gooding Jr, and Stevie J.

Now, Derrick Parker, a former detective in the NYPD’s rap intelligence unit, called the Hip Hop Cops, said that Diddy has a very questionable past that he was able to control because of his power.

Perker thinks that ‘someone’ is behind this – the feds may have an informant from Diddy’s inner circle.

Derrick Parker.

New York Post reported:

“’Someone’s giving them sensitive information. Someone’s cooperating, and it’s probably someone close to him’, said the former detective, who was assigned to two of Diddy’s more infamous cases in New York in the 1990s and knew the rapper well. This looks, to me, like the tip of the iceberg’.”

Both the California and the Florida raids were led by the Homeland Security Investigations Human Trafficking Task Force.

The raids were prompted by a search warrant issued by the Southern District of New York.

“Parker said Diddy’s downfall was all but assured once he settled a bombshell lawsuit — alleging rape and physical abuse — from R&B singer Cassie, his ex-girlfriend, for an undisclosed sum one day after it was filed in November 2023.”

Casandra Ventura alleged that Combs fed her drugs and alcohol, forced her to have sex with male prostitutes as well as viciously raping and beating her from 2005 to 2018.

“’Once Cassie was paid off I knew there’d be a ripple effect’, Parker said. ‘Like people thinking, <Hey she got paid, I’m gonna get paid>. But he’s got a past a lot of people know about and I think it emboldened a lot of them when they saw what happened with Cassie’.”

No more ‘teflon coverage’?

People in the music industry know that the feds don’t usually do this kinds of moves unless they got something big on the target.

Diddy reigned in the music and fashion industry for decades and was ‘untouchable’ despite countless sketchy incidents around him, and multiple claims of intimidation, violence and sexual harassment.

“A law enforcement source told The Post that the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, which is carrying out the probe, could be building a case against Combs the way it did with Jeffrey Epstein — by tracking whether he took underage or coerced women across state lines.

‘As far as [Diddy’s alleged drug mule] Brendan Paul arrest goes, they don’t care about him. They just want to flip him’, the law-enforcement source said. ‘They want him to talk about Diddy. He’s just a piece of the puzzle’.”

From the shooting of his best friend, rapper Notorious B.I.G., to the bashing of record executive Steve Stoute with a champagne bottle to shootings in clubs involving his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, Diddy seemed ‘made of Teflon’, emerging unscathed from all sorts of situations.

But apparently that is not the case anymore.

Election Integrity Firm: 7% to 18% of Registered Voters in 26 States Either DO NOT EXIST or Reside at an Address that DOES NOT EXIST

Guest post by Jay Valentine at Omega4America.

If there is one consistent take-away from the last 40 months of election fraud frenzy, it is anyone can find phantoms on voter rolls – nobody is removing enough to make a difference.

Our team runs voter rolls in 26 states. We apply time series analysis across every state roll – comparing the voter roll from 2 years ago with the one from yesterday – and people, little has changed!

There are fewer than 230 days to go before the 2024 extravaganza!

The “most important election in history.”

Any rational person will find it difficult to believe enough phantoms will be removed from voter rolls – in the 7 wing states – run by Leftists, with mostly Leftist Secretaries of State and Leftist courts – to make a difference – in a few months!

Is there anyone, maybe one guy, but really anyone else, who thinks the election equipment in the 7 swing states will change in the next 230 days?

In 2024, the way to stop the steal – if there is one – is to fight entire hydra – not just the phantoms!

One must employ tactics, no strategy here, that can be effective in less than 230 days!

One must stop, or seriously cripple sovereign fraud – first coined on American Thinker – where the government is the actor impacting election outcomes.

One must identify, track, trace every illegally funded NGO, non-governmental agency – funneling hundreds of millions of laundered dollars to Leftist candidates, registering voters with no IDs at homeless shelters.

And while phantoms aren’t coming off voter rolls any time soon, citizens can stop mail-in ballots from going to them if they reside at ineligible addresses – which enough do to impact the outcome in every swing state.

The Wisconsin team did it in 2022!

In 2024, the election hydra has 3 heads – phantoms, sovereign interference, and NGO money laundering.

Impact all three – or go home.

Phantom voter fraud is undeniable.

We do not ask you to believe us – watch our videos, showing enough built-in phantom name/address anomaly in many states’ databases to turn an election.

Every state we test, all 26, has from 7% to 18% of its registered voters who either do not exist, or reside at addresses that do not exist, or live at real addresses – that are gas stations, convenience stores or restaurants.

We call them addresses “without bedrooms.”

Phantoms – chased by voter integrity teams for the last 36 months – remain on voter rolls in droves. The handful taken off are replaced by brethren. It’s in the data.

Sovereign voter fraud remains a threat – because it works.

Our team performed the post-mortem for the Kari Lake election showing over 22,000 new voters added, days before the election – in one Arizona county alone. Lake was blind to this – as her campaign relied on useless relational technology from the RNC – thus they never saw it coming.

Lake lost by 17,000 votes.

How about, in every swing state – in 2024 – citizens download voter rolls every day – apply quantum time series analysis to them – and when the county changes the zip codes of 33,000 people in a single Arizona county – Republicans know it on October 3, not November 6th!

The third aspect of institutional, organized, industrial-scale election fraud comes from the NGOs and Leftist political organizations funneling hundreds of millions in illegal campaign money to favored candidate.

This month, the Fractal team finished the SMURF system – the real time, massive, election contribution database – of every contribution, to any Federal candidate, from any reported source, in the last 50 years – from a phone – at 200 million transactions per second.

In late 2021, the Florida team sent the Fractal team evidence that Leftists were funneling hundreds of millions of dollars in donations with fake contributions ascribed to some poor, elderly person.

The evidence was compelling; we sent it to the team in Wisconsin. Those clues made their way to some entertaining James O’Keefe videos.

This month, the money laundering tracking system was moved to quantum technology.

Massive government databases may be public – that does not make them informative.

Current relational technology cannot easily compare the entire FEC database with every voter in Wisconsin, tracking every contribution to its source – and watch money flowing from NGO A, to NGO B, then to 400,000 debit cards, each for $1, then each debit card is converted to a gift card – later all the dough goes to a district attorney harassing a former president.

Quantum technology from our team, and others makes these gargantuan government databases information weapons – weapons that can win an election!

As we demonstrate, the institutional financial fraud, supporting Leftist causes, tied to elderly citizens’ stolen identities – who never knew someone made 3,000 contributions, in their name – in one day – has moved from James O’Keefe anecdotal evidence – to a real time system in place for 2024.

Every contribution – from every source – to every destination – including all intermediate steps – for the last 50 years – tracked from a phone!

SMURF is the term of art for money laundering – thus the Wisconsin team so named it.

In several swing states, the SMURF system is tracing illegal NGO action – and it is massive. For instance, thousands of contributions in an hour from the same credit card.

Ever make an FEC contribution?

Log on, fill in your name, address, company name – all that stuff.

Now, do it 3,500 times in 2 hours. Impossible! Unless you are using advanced computers – doing this as a bot exercise – thus illegal.

That data has always been in the FEC database.

Quantum technology turned it into useful information – that can impact the election in 230 days – or 30 days!

It gets better.

The Wisconsin team downloaded the state contribution roll for all 50 states.

Now, at quantum speeds, users cross search the guy who made 3,500 contributions, in someone else’s name, a dollar each – and traces that dough to a state senate race in Wisconsin.

Since the Fractal system currently runs the voter rolls for 26 states, integrating contribution information and voter information became very interesting.

With a single click, one sees the address, which is a warehouse, with no bedrooms, housing voters, is also a collection point for an NGO to collect donations. Two more clicks – shows where the money goes – always to a Leftist candidate.

Data is multiplicative.

One domain database is like a street map.

Two or three databases, you have a relief map with hills and valleys.

Four or 5 databases, cross searched at quantum speeds – is a live movie of money laundering gone wild – from warehouses to candidates who have been taking this dough for 20 years.

It’s way too late to keep screwing around chasing phantoms.

With fewer than 230 days to go, Republicans better sober up, hit the Leftist hydra to thwart the sure sovereign fraud in the swing states and “out” all the illegal money flowing like a river through the FEC database.

Since every ineligible ballot-location – in every swing state voter roll, is now known – Republicans can do what the Wisconsin team did in 2022 – stop ballots from going to ineligible addresses – and impact 2024 – now.

The time for phantom chasing is over.

Either get in the game now, with technology that can impact 2024 in 230 days, or go home.

PLEASE HELP Cara Castronuova Get On Ballot For Senate Race In New York To Take Out RINO Mike Sapraicone And Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand

Cara Castronuova, a longtime Newsmax contributor and investigative journalist for The Gateway Pundit, is making a final call this week for donations and volunteers to collect petitions across New York State to help get her on the ballot in the Republican primary for the Senate race against Kirsten Gillibrand this November.

Castronuova placed in second in a closed-door primary last month to the New York establishment’s handpicked candidate, Mike Sapraicone, an anti-Trump RINO with a controversial record as a former NYPD officer.  As reported here and elsewhere, Sapraicone has donated thousands of dollars to Letitia James and other Democrats as recently as 2022.

Despite going up against New York’s entrenched Republican establishment, Castronuova has done remarkably well so far with ballot collection measures, on pace to surpass the 15,000-petition threshold for ballot access, which has been long the statewide requirement for both Republican and Democratic candidates, even though Democrats outnumber Republicans in New York well over 2 to 1.

Castronuova, a dyed-in-the-wool Trump supporter since the day he descended the Trump Tower escalator, has already received endorsements from several notable Trump-aligned surrogates, including Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Roger Stone, George Papadopoulos, and Laura Loomer.  And because she has no backing, financially, politically, or otherwise, from the RINO Swamp, in both Albany and DC, she can be no-holds-barred in going after both parties.

But Castronuova is facing a political machine led by the notoriously anti-Trump, Ed Cox.  Cox sits as a Board Member on the League of Conservation Voters, an organization that sponsors PACs that have collectively donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Kirsten Gillibrand and other far left Democrats over the years, while endorsing radical proposals like the Green New Deal and offshore wind turbines.  These radical policies would only accelerate the exodus of businesses already leaving New York State by the thousands every single month.

Castronuova famously made national headlines late last year when she interviewed Bronx residents for Newsmax about who they are supporting for the 2024 presidential election.  Her reporting led to the discovery that many of the residents in the deep-blue Bronx actually were planning to vote for Donald Trump in the November election.  President Trump noticed the videos, posted them on his Truth Social page, and then shortly afterwards began teasing audiences at rallies and in interviews about doing a rally in the South Bronx at some point this election cycle.

 

More recently, Castronuova has used her campaign to help expose the corrupt Uniparty establishment.  Earlier this week, she denounced far left NYC officials, who are proposing a ban on brick oven pizzerias – following their proposed ban on gas stoves – in a clip that went viral:

BRICK OVEN PIZZA BAN?!?!!

MY NEW YORK ACCENT COMES OUT IN FULL FORCE WHEN I AM PISSED.

The psychopathic nutcases in charge in New York City are trying to ban Brick Oven Pizza because they are colluding with the architects of Green New SCAM. All a money making GRIFT for the… pic.twitter.com/hiuKz907DP

— Cara Castronuova (@CaraCastronuova) March 25, 2024

 

Castronuova’s campaign has prioritized fighting corruption in both Albany and the DC Swamp.  Castronuova stands for election integrity, law and order, medical freedom, school choice, the second amendment, closing our southern border, and is pro-life.  She is the only truly pro-Trump candidate in the race, who has stood by the 45th President since day one and has been unrelenting in her view that the 2020 race was stolen.

CALL TO ACTION

Cara is fighting to KNOCK OUT New York RINOs and incumbent Democrat Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.  It is now CRUNCH TIME; the fight is in the Championship Round and Cara needs you to join her in this fight! Help her campaign, volunteer, or sponsor a petitioner with a CONTRIBUTION – any amount will go a long way!

VOLUNTEERS: New Yorkers wanting to help assist Cara in the final week before petitions are due through VOLUNTEERING should visit CaraForSenate.com.

What’s Happening in NYC? Women Randomly Punched in the Face While Walking Down the Street

@Halleykate/TikTok

What is happening in New York City, and why are young women randomly getting punched in the face while walking down the street?

Recently, women in NYC have been sharing videos on social media in the aftermath of being randomly punched in the face while strolling down the city streets.

Halley, a content creator and influencer, shared a video on Monday morning telling her story.

As she walked down the street, a man punched her, leaving a giant goose egg swelling on the right side of her head.

In the video that has been seen over 21.3 million times she said, “You guys. I was literally just walking, and a man came up and punched me in the face. It hurts so bad. I can’t even talk. Literally, I fell to the ground, and now this giant goose egg is forming, and I’m like, oh my God. So crazy.”

@halleykate♬ original sound – halley

Halley followed up on her original post with additional details.

“I was just walking on the sidewalk, and my head was down, and I was like looking at my phone, just sending an email. But there was so much room on the sidewalk, and literally nobody was around, and I guess this man, I don’t know if he punched me or if he elbowed me. I literally passed out.”

“I think he just was really mad that my head was down. He was walking his dog, so he took it upon himself to body check me and let me know to be conscious of my surroundings.”

After being punched, Halley said she fell to the ground and “blacked out for a second” before getting up while the man screamed at her, and she ran away.

Mikayla Toninato, also an influencer, shared a similar story of being punched while walking on Monday.

She said, “So I just got punched in the face walking home. I was literally like leaving class, I turned the corner and I was looking down, and I was looking at my phone and texting. And then out of nowhere, this man just came up and hit me in the face. “I’m actually in shock right now. I’m just like walking home because what else do you do?”

She added a warning, “I guess if you’re in New York right now and you’re walking while looking at your phone. Maybe don’t do that.”

Last week creater Olivia Brand, shared a similar video.

“I literally just got punched by some man on the sidewalk. He goes, sorry, and then punches me in the head.”

@olivia.brandI &lt3 nyc♬ original sound – Olivia Brand

Just a few hours ago, another young woman, Kendall, shared that she was walking near Times Square with her coworkers when she was punched.  Sitting in a restaurant, she put ice on the visible bump rising on her forehead.

“I have fallen victim to men in New York City lifting an elbow or trying to punch innocent girls on the street, except I wasn’t on my phone.”

“I was with my coworkers walking in Times Square. So be safe out there.”

@kendalllllllll888 B safe out there nyc girlies (i wasnt on my phone at all and this man barely skimmed by me – i wasnt even in his way) #MYCPunch #TimesSquare #bump #staysafe ♬ original sound – Kendall

Lara Logan on Twitter:

Multiple intel sources: Baltimore bridge collapse was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on US critical infrastructure – most likely cyber – & our intel agencies know it. In information warfare terms, they just divided the US along the Mason Dixon line exactly like the Civil War.

Second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material now down for 4-5 years – which is how long they say it will take to recover. Bridge was built specifically to move hazardous material – fuel, diesel, propane gas, nitrogen, highly flammable materials, chemicals and oversized cargo that cannot fit in the tunnels – that supply chain now crippled.

Make no mistake: this was an extraordinary attack in terms of planning, timing & execution.

The two critical components on that bridge are the two load-bearing pylons on each end, closest to the shore. They are bigger, thicker and deeper than anything else. These are the anchor points and they knew that hitting either one one of them would be a fatal wound to the integrity of the bridge.

Half a mile of bridge went in the river – likely you will have to build a new one. Also caused so much damage to the structural integrity of the bottom concrete part that you cannot see & won’t know until they take the wreckage apart. Structural destruction likely absolute.

Attack perfectly targeted.

“They have figured out how to bring us down. As long as you stay away from the teeth of the US military, you can pick the US apart. We are arrogant and ignorant – lethal combination. Obama said they would fundamentally change America and they did. We are in a free-fall ride on a roller coaster right now – no brakes – just picking up speed.”

The footage shows the cargo ship never got in the approach lane in the channel. You have to be in the channel before you get into that turn. Location was precise/deliberate: chose a bend in the river where you have to slow down and commit yourself – once you are committed in that area there is not enough room to maneuver.

Should have had a harbor pilot to pilot the boat. You are not supposed to traverse any obstacles without the harbor pilot.

They chose a full moon so they would have maximum tidal shift – rise and fall. Brisk flow in that river on a normal day & have had a lot of rain recently so water was already moving along at a good pace.

Hit it with enough kinetic energy to knock the load-bearing pylon out from under the highway – which fatally weakens the span and then 50 percent of the bridge fell into the water.

All these factors when you look at it – this is how you teach people how to do this type of attack and there are so few people left in the system who know this. We have a Junior varsity team on the field.

Tremendous navigational obstruction. Huge logistical nightmare to clean this up. Number of dead is tragic but not the whole measure of the attack.

That kind-of bridge constantly under repair – always at night because there is so much traffic and they cannot obstruct that during the day. So concern is for repair guys who were on foot (out of their vehicles) working who may now be in the water – 48 degrees at most at this time of year.

When you choke off Baltimore you have cut the main north-south hazardous corridor (I95) in half. Now has to go around the city – or go somewhere else.

To move some of that cargo through the tunnel you may be able to get a permit but those are slow to get and require an escort system that is expensive and has to be done at night.

For every $100 dollars that goes into the city, $12 comes from shipping. Believe this will cripple the city of Baltimore at a time when they do not have the resources to recover.

Maritime training looks at what to do if your ship gets cyber-hijacked. Not much at the link, but shows this hacking is a thing.

Bannon says the crash should not have happened as these ships have all kinds of redundancies, and are designed to have failures and not fail.

Old Joe Biden says he took a train across the collapsed Francis Scott Key bridge “many times,” except there was no rail line on it.

railcar carrying 60,000 pounds of Dyno Nobel ammonia nitrate, a chemical fertilizer that also can be used to make explosives, left Cheyenne full and arrived two weeks later in California empty.

Diddy’s electronics were seized as part of sex trafficking raid but there’s still no sign of rapper who was ‘on his way to the Bahamas with daughters’ when feds swooped on his mansions. There was talk of a massive, sophisticated surveillance camera system throughout his properties, ala Epstein’s places all being wired up. I would assume as with Epstein, Diddy is just a face, and there is a professional intel op running things, so you would think any tapes are probably gone. But then Epstein’s op left his laying around, apparently, so there is no guarantee.

Producer who accused Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs adds Cuba Gooding Jr. to sexual assault, harassment lawsuit.

From Here:

Diddy’s favorite guest at his gay honeypot “parties” was said to be Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonard just so happened to be fondled by Drake Bell’s future speech coach when he was just a child. You know, the one who was pen pals with a serial killer clown, Brian Peck (From the now infamous Quiet on Set exposure documentary)?
What impeccable timing.
Here is Leonardo DiCaprio with Drake Bell’s sexual abuser, Brian Peck, on the set of the movie What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.
This pedophile says a young Leo is “the latest hottest hunkiest teen idol there is” as he caresses him.
And now we have Diddy claiming that Leo is his favorite guest at his gay honeypot parties?
Was Leonardo DiCaprio groomed as a child?

Kari Lake is asking the court to quickly issue a judgment and to decide how much she will pay Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer in the defamation case he brought against her, according to a filing in Maricopa County Superior Court on Tuesday.

Democratic candidate Marilyn Lands on Tuesday won a special election for a state House seat in Alabama after she made in vitro fertilization and abortion rights central to her campaign. A Republican had held the Huntsville-area seat in the state’s 10th District.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign accused Nevada’s Democrat secretary of state of “corruption” Monday, claiming that the elections official and the Democratic National Committee are in cahoots and “inventing a new requirement” for ballot access in the state that has “zero legal basis.” They are trying to say his signatures are all invalid because he has not named a VP candidate, and so he has to start over. He says no way.

New York City council begs court to authorize Voting rights for 800,000 foreign nationals. Intel does not do things haphazard, and hope for the best. Intel exerts total control. They would not bring in 800,000 foreigners, and push to give them voting rights, and hope they would vote in a way that the intel op would get more power. If they want those migrants to vote, they know that the majority of those migrants will follow orders, and deliver a predictable outcome. Those are not so much migrants, as assets of the intelligence operation subverting our government.

China behind super highway that targets US with mass migration, economic warfare.

Illegal migrant charged with shooting dead 25-year-old Michigan woman was deported under the Trump administration.

NYC begins handing out migrants taxpayer-funded, pre-paid debit cards at Roosevelt Hotel shelter, with 450 people set to begin receiving up to ‘$18,200-a-year’ payout by the end of this week. It is like becoming President, or forming a multi-billion company. Not everyone will qualify.

Biden considers a program that could give green cards to illegal migrants who have been in the U.S. for 10 years and who have relatives that will ‘suffer’ if they are removed.

A Guatemalan migrant who is accused of killing a police officer last year is now leading a lawsuit against the deceased deputy’s estate, another law enforcement officer and the county, alleging he was the victim because in not speaking English, he was effectively disabled, and the police did not comport with the Americans with disabilities act. He escaped prosecution after fighting with officers and causing one to die, because he cannot speak English. Now he wants a payday from the family of the Officer he killed.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul dumping $2.4 billion into migrant care, pushing state-funded housing construction.

Texas border encounters continue decline as illegal entries shift to California, Arizona.

The president of Mexico, in an interview, has confirmed what essentially appears to be his attempt to blackmail the United States into paying$20 billion a year, giving amnesty, and having sanctions lifted, or else the “flow of migrants will continue.” Note, it is enraging. Which is kind of what you look for in a script element. We all know, if Trump gets in, Trump will fuck this guy fifty different ways. So this script element is one more thing kind of pushing the nation toward Trump. If I were AMLO and wanted to get Trump in, this is what I would do.

As the stock market teeters on the edge of euphoria, insiders are cashing out at a frenetic pace. If some intel op is working to amplify a Trump victory, I would suspect they will crash the market sometime before November.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was given permission by the High Court in London on Tuesday, to take his challenge against extradition to the United States on espionage charges to a new hearing, unless the U.S. provided “satisfactory assurances” on the questions of whether he was able to rely on the First Amendment of the Constitution and whether he could be subject to the death penalty.

CRIME PAYS: New York City Begins Distributing Pre-Paid Debit Cards to Illegal Immigrants

New York City has begun passing out pre-paid debit cards to illegal immigrants. The cards can reportedly only be used for food and baby supplies.

How long will it take for someone to figure out how to scam this system? Should we expect a black market to emerge around these cards and the value assigned to them?

This plan is ripe for corruption.

FOX News reports:

New York City begins giving illegal immigrants prepaid debit cards as part of $53 million pilot program

Officials in New York City have begun giving out prepaid debit cards to migrant families residing in the Big Apple.

The first batch of debit cards, which are reportedly meant to be used by the illegal immigrants to purchase food and baby supplies, were handed out Monday to a handful of migrant families in the city, New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office confirmed to Fox News Digital.

The effort is part of a reported $53 million pilot program to hand out prepaid credit cards to migrant families housed in hotels despite public outcry.

The program, which the mayor’s office confirmed will provide migrant families of four with two children under 5 with up to $350 each week until the end of their stay, began with a limited number of families on Monday and will expand to about 115 families, or roughly 460 people, over the next week.

We’re basically paying people to break our immigration laws.

Paid to break the law….

Trump should be running "your taxes pay for migrant debit cards" as a nonstop campaign ad in New York. https://t.co/LJEkUBYkHr

There are probably a lot of poor American citizens in New York who could use this kind of assistance. They’ll have to get in line behind the illegal border crossers.

British Museum Sues Former Curator Peter Higgs, Accuses Him of Theft of Hundreds of Artifacts, Including Jewelry, Gems and Precious Metals

A London civil court today (26) ordered former curator at the British Museum Peter Higgs, accused of stealing hundreds – or maybe thousands – of artifacts, to provide the museum with a list the items he is suspected of taking, and to return those still in his possession.

I write about him here in TGP back in August 2023. Higgs was a PHD curator of Greek collections at the British Museum, and also tracked down looted artifacts and returning them to their home countries.

Back then, the Daily Mail reported:

“The British Museum worker sacked after being accused of stealing priceless treasures was today revealed to be a ‘world expert’ on ancient Greece who had worked there for more than three decades.

Peter John Higgs, 56, was fired this summer over jewelry, gems and precious metals spanning more than three millennia of history that vanished from the museum’s vaults over a number of years.”

Higgs has not been arrested by police, but was dismissed from the Museum after items were found to be ‘missing, stolen or damaged’.

Met Police has not revealed what was stolen. But high profile thefts in the Museum include a £750,000 Cartier diamond ring, missing since 2011.

Higgs is currently under Met police investigation, but so far he has not been charged.

Meanwhile, the British Museum has brought a civil lawsuit against him.

When the British Museum, one of the most visited in the world, reported in August that hundreds of items had been stolen from its collection or were missing, the internal organizational failings led to the resignation of Museum director Hartwig Fischer.

Reuters reported:

“The British Museum, which holds treasures such as the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon marbles, has said the stolen items included gold rings, earrings and other pieces of jewelry dating back to ancient Greek and Roman periods.

The museum’s lawyer Daniel Burgess said in court documents: ‘While the full extent of the thefts is unknown, it is presently believed that over 1,800 items were stolen or damaged and that many hundreds of them were sold or offered for sale by (Higgs)’.

Burgess added that Higgs tried to ‘cover his tracks by, among other things, using false names, creating false documents and manipulating records held on the Museum’s IT systems’.”

The museum says that, so far, it has recovered 356 of the missing items , and it hopes to get more back.

“’The items that have been stolen from the museum are of cultural and historical significance’, museum lawyer Daniel Burgess said in written legal arguments.”

[…] Chairman of trustees George Osborne has acknowledged that the reputation of the 265-year-old institution has been damaged by the episode.”
