November 13, 2024 - Key lawmaker reveals phone companies dispute FBI testimony on January 6 pipe bombs suspect

Steve D’Antuono (Credit: CNN)

Cellular carriers have told Congress they possess intact phone usage data from the vicinity where two pipe bombs were planted during the Jan. 6 incident, directly disputing FBI testimony that agents couldn’t identify a suspect because the phone data was corrupted, a key House chairman tells Just the News.

The revelations from Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee, adds new intrigue to a debate that has gripped Washington for nearly four years: Why can’t the FBI with so much evidence and manpower identify the suspect who planted the explosive devices at the Democrat and Republican Party headquarters hours before the Capitol was breached.

“In the days and weeks following January 6, 2021, the FBI opened an investigation into the pipe bomber and attempted to identify the suspect by analyzing cell phone data linked to the area surrounding the RNC and DNC,” Loudermilk told Just the News.

“In June 2023, the former Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, Steve D’Antuono, who oversaw the pipe bomb investigation, said that the FBI received corrupted data from one of the cell carriers and that it most likely contained the identity of the pipe bomber. Given the significance of this information, my Subcommittee sent letters to the three major cell carriers, asking them to respond to Mr. D’Antuono’s claim of corrupted data,” he said.

“Every major cell carrier responded and confirmed that they did not provide the FBI corrupted data,” Loudermilk said.

“Additionally every major cell carrier confirmed they were never notified that the FBI had any issues accessing the data. This contradictory testimony raises some serious questions about the status of the investigation into the pipe bomber and about why the case remains unsolved nearly four years later,” he added.

Last year, D’Antuono told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI did not a receive complete phone data from telephone carriers because some of it had been corrupted.

“We did a complete geofence. We have complete data. Not complete, because there’s some data that was corrupted by one of the providers, not purposely by them, right. It just — unusual circumstance that we have corrupt data from one of the providers,” D’Antuono testified in a transcribed interview.

“But for that day, which is awful because we don’t have that information to search. So could it have been that provider? Yeah, with our luck, you know, with this investigation it probably was, right,” he said.

D’Antuono served as the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office until he stepped down in late 2022. A lawyer for the retired agent did not immediately return an email Wednesday seeking comment.

November 13, 2024 - Turley: A concise statement that shows why the public is rejecting mainstream media

November 13, 2024 - FCC Commissioner sends letter to tech giants on their improper role in censorship

Brendan Carr (Wikimedia Commons)

Brendan Carr, the Commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, penned a letter to the CEOs of Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft on the central roles their companies have played in the censorship cartel.

The four page letter calls out the tech giants Facebook, Apple, Google, and Microsoft for participating in what he describes as “improper conduct.”

Carr wrote, “Big Tech companies silenced Americans for doing nothing more than exercising their First Amendment rights.” Carr accused the tech giants of “working in concert with so-called media monitors and others – to defund, demonetize and otherwise put out of business news outlets and organizations that dared to deviate from an approved narrative.”

Carr also pointed out how the tech giants were “participating in a censorship cartel that included not only technology and social media companies but advertising, marketing, and so-called “fact-checking” organizations as well as the Biden-Harris administration itself.”

Carr goes on, “The relevant conduct extended from removing or blocking social media posts to labeling whole websites or apps as “untrustworthy” or “high-risk” in an apparent effort to suppress their information and viewpoints, including through efforts to delist them, lower their rankings, or harm their profitability.

Says Carr, “This censorship cartel is an affront to Americans’ constitutional freedoms and must be completely dismantled.”

Commissioner Carr then describes the damage organizations like News Guard” that targets conservative and independent media have had on society today.

November 14, 2024 - Colorado GOP drops audio exposing Secretary of State’s office covering up voting machine password leak

The Colorado GOP has released an audio that reveals Secretary of State Jena Griswold and her team deliberately concealed the exposure of sensitive voting machine passwords to avoid a media firestorm.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Griswold’s office inadvertently published approximately 600 BIOS passwords for election equipment across 63 of Colorado’s 64 counties, according to the Colorado GOP affidavit.

This alarming breach, which first came to light in August, is believed to have occurred as early as June—right before the state’s primary election. Surprisingly, these sensitive passwords remained accessible on her website until late October.

Griswold did not notify the county clerks of this breach, and they only found out when the Colorado GOP released it.

During an interview with Kyle Clark of 9News, Griswold attempted to downplay the severity of the leak, referring to the exposed passwords as “partial.” She claimed that they were only one of two passwords required to operate the election systems, a dubious assertion that does little to assuage fears about election security.

Critics point out that unlike the redacted, outdated passwords from the case of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, Griswold’s passwords were not outdated and posed a real risk.

The Colorado GOP’s audio recordings, released Thursday, reveal a disturbing conversation among Griswold’s staff, where they strategized on how to avoid a “media storm” over the breach.

In one particularly telling exchange, Deputy Secretary Christopher Beall admitted, “We were not going to tell the clerks because doing so would have created the media storm we’re now facing.”

Transcript:

Adams County Clerk, Josh Zygielbaum: What level of training do these individuals have on our specific servers and other equipment that qualifies them to do this work?

Christopher Beall: All of these individuals are cybersecurity technicians. Your equipment is off-the-shelf equipment loaded with election software. In all respects, it is no different from any other computer equipment. We do not believe more training is needed than what we have already provided for changing passwords on the equipment.

Josh Zygielbaum: Second thing, Chris—honestly, I’m not confident in this process. What the Secretary’s office should have done upon discovering this issue was deploy people immediately to change the passwords instead of keeping it a secret. It’s completely unacceptable that this is our process now, five days before the election. What guarantee do we have that these people won’t crash our system somehow?

Christopher Beall: Josh, I appreciate that you’re upset.

Josh Zygielbaum: I’m not upset, Chris. I’m pissed off. It’s really hard not answering media questions the way I actually want to.

Christopher Beall: Okay. All I can do is be as transparent as possible. We were not going to tell counties because doing so would have created the media storm we’re now facing.

Josh Zygielbaum: That’s bullsh—t, Chris.

Christopher Beall: We are sending staff to change passwords. I believe in Adams County we’re sending someone from our staff. Regardless, there is no possibility that these password changes will crash the system. This is at the BIOS level and has nothing to do with operating software. Josh, suggesting otherwise is irresponsible.

Josh Zygielbaum: It’s not irresponsible. We’re in the middle of a presidential election, and we’re having someone come in and mess with our server. Small setting changes have caused major issues in the past.

The Republican Party is now calling for Griswold’s immediate resignation, accusing her of jeopardizing the integrity of Colorado’s elections.

November 14, 2024 - Pennsylvania's Bucks County Dem Commissioners openly defy PA Supreme Court ruling and count illegal ballots to help Bob Casey

#BucksCounty Democrat Commissioners violate the rule of law and ignore PA Supreme Court ruling!

Democrat Commissioners Diane Marseglia and Bob Harvie voted today to count illegal ballots, against PA Supreme Court ruling, in an attempt to aid former Senator Bob Casey.

“…precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. For me if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it.” – Diane Marseglia

Thank you to Republican Commissioner Gene DiGirolamo for making a motion to uphold the law!

Our attorneys are working with attorneys from the PAGOP and RNC to address this matter.

UPDATE:

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is ordering Boards of Elections throughout the state to follow its previous rulings and not count “mail-in and absentee ballots that fail to comply” with the state election code. (Breitbart, 11/18/2024)

November 14, 2024 - The U.S. Constitution offers Trump a way to bypass Senate confirmation of his cabinet choices

SECRET: If you were listening closely you might have heard Trump mention a ‘secret’ he had with Speaker Johnson. It is abundantly clear that if Trump wants to put his dream team together he’s going to need to make a BUNCH of recess appointments. The Senate is unlikely to agree to adjourn so he can use his authority to adjourn both chambers as long as Johnson cooperates. Is that the ‘secret’ Trump mentioned?

Under Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the President has the authority to adjourn Congress in the case of a disagreement between the House and Senate over the time of adjournment. It’s a power that has never been used, and its scope remains relatively untested. Here’s a quick summary of the conditions that would be needed:

One House Must Request Adjournment:

One of the chambers (in this case, likely the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Johnson) would formally seek to adjourn.

The Other House Must Refuse: The other chamber (in this scenario, the Senate) must then refuse to agree to this request. If this condition is met, it opens the door for the President to step in and resolve the disagreement by adjourning both chambers.

Once Congress is adjourned, the President could use the recess to make “recess appointments” under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. This would allow Trump to install his preferred Cabinet members without Senate confirmation.

November 15, 2024 - Trump-hating Antifa member and online extremist is a US Secret Service Agent

Thomas Jack Hamil (Credit: Justice Report)

The Secret Service is investigating an agent who has been accused of having Antifa and anarchist ties and who allegedly lashed out at Trump as someone with “Nazi-ass policies” and called his supporters “chodes” and “neo-Nazis” in several social media posts.

The posts clearly call into question whether this agent can provide adequate protection to President-elect Trump during the transition of power, the inauguration, and afterward. The agent, from what I’ve been told, has about six years of experience and is in Phase 2 of his career is assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris’s protective detail.

After internet sleuths and an online publication called Justice Report.net published details of what they described are the agent’s online posts, a Secret Service spokesman tells me that agency officials heard about the accusations and have “modified” the agent’s duties and launched an internal probe into the social media posts.

(Credit: Justice Report)

“The U.S. Secret Service recently became aware of alleged social media posts by an employee that have prompted an internal review,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugilielmi tells me in a statement. “We are taking this matter seriously, and this employee’s assigned duties have been modified while this review is underway.” “These comments in no way represent the views or values of the Secret Service, and we maintain and enforce rigorous codes of conduct governing employee actions both on and off duty,” he added.

After the social media posts came to light, the agent deleted his accounts so any internal agency review would need to verify those deleted accounts as his. That’s apparently why he hasn’t been disciplined more severely and swiftly, although there’s a precedent, which I describe below, for disciplining agents while continuing to pay them until they hit certain retirement dates so they can retire with full pay and retirement benefits.

The controversy over the agent’s anti-Trump social media posts as the nation prepares for a transfer of power to Trump echo a similar incident in early 2017, just before Trump’s first inauguration. At that time, a senior female agent, Kerry O’Grady, suggested in an October 2016 Facebook post that she didn’t want to take a bullet for Trump if he was elected. I broke that story in early 2017. O’Grady was the leader of the Denver Field Office at the time.

O’Grady was not disciplined for the Facebook post until after I wrote this piece: Washington Examiner

The Secret Service placed her on paid administrative leave for more than two and a half years, giving her what amounted to a paid vacation until she reached a retirement milestone in early 2019 even though she had reached her settlement with the Department of Homeland Security in Oct. 2017.

Here’s that stor[y] that I wrote in 2019: 

Justicereport.net has described the agent who made the Nazi references about Trump and his supporters as a devout follower of “antifascist shock jock Robert Evans.” Evans, a former editor at the humor website Cracked.com, has written for an online outlet called Bellingcat and has operated several podcasts. In mid-2020, Evans joined a class-action lawsuit against the City of Portland for police use of force against the Antifa-led protests responding to the death of George Floyd.

The issues surrounding the latest accusations related to an agent’s inappropriate online media posts raises serious and ongoing questions about the internal vetting and hiring standards at the Secret Service. Historically, USSS leadership handled hiring decisions, but in recent years human resource officials with no protective experience in the agency have been making the hiring decisions with DEI priorities taking precedent over other security qualifications/experience, according to several sources in the Secret Service community.

I’m told the agency, over the last decade, has dramatically lowered standards for drug use and physical fitness issues that previously would have been disqualifying. The agency also doesn’t require mental health screening for prospective recruits, an issue that several whistleblowers have repeatedly raised a problem in an era marked by lower hiring standards.

I’ve been working on this story all week, but @AMrAndyNgo, an intrepid reporter who provided outstanding coverage of the 2020 Antifa riots in Portland and Seattle was able to break the issue about the agent’s alleged social media posts late Friday afternoon, citing “internet sleuths” who first discovered the incendiary online comments.

November 15, 2024 - Democrats are trying to form a "shadow government" to defy and undermine President Trump's authority

BREAKING: The Biden-Harris Administration is attempting to empower unelected federal bureaucrats to dictate agency policy in the incoming Trump Administration.

The Biden-Harris Administration issued a memo directing the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to establish a Task Force on Scientific Integrity and publish a report on federal agencies’ scientific integrity policies. Recent reporting indicates that the outgoing administration is using ‘scientific integrity’ to proactively respond to and hamstring the incoming Trump Administration’s ability to implement its own executive agendas and discredit scientific information and views that are not in keeping with their agenda.

In letters to the heads of the EPA and HHS, Chairman Comer requests information to assist with the Committee’s investigation and ensure continued accountability within the Executive Branch.

Even if Congressman Nickel is being rhetorical, this is a massively problematic signal to the American people.

The Democrats’ call for a “shadow government” in the American context implies extreme disloyalty to a duly elected president who is the head of the executive branch.

This follows upon Trump sabotage such as illegal campaign spying, the Russia hoax, the dead-end Mueller investigation, the Ukraine impeachment hoax, the J6 sham impeachment, an FBI raid, two illegitimate Special Counsel cases, endless investigations, non-stop lawfare, incessant negative media coverage, and two assassination attempts — leading to a major victory for Donald Trump in a free and fair election.

The “Democratic Party” is not even waiting until Trump is sworn in to imply that his presidency is illegitimate and the policies he intends to pursue are unconstitutional. They are neither.

The American People see this for what it is. A major slap in the face to voters who want to see change in Washington, and an arguably treasonous call for “resistance” to a duly elected president.

November 15, 2024 - Biden’s Cabinet nominees are incompetent compared to Trump’s

As the media and Democrats attack Trump’s nominees—RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Gaetz etc—let’s take a look at how unqualified Biden’s nominees are for their jobs –

Xavier Becerra, HHS – not a doctor, he’s a lawyer, ex-attorney general of California

Jared Bernstein, Chair of Council of Economic Advisors – not an economist, Bachelor’s degree in music, masters in sociology

Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary – no transportation background, Mayor of Indiana, “pothole Pete”

Mayorkas, DHS Secretary – no security background, lawyer, Asst U.S. attorney, Obama transition team

Jennifer Granholm, Energy Secy – no energy background, Michigan Governor

Gina Raimondo, Commerce Secretary – No trade background, Gov of Rhode Island

Deb Haaland, Interior Secy – New Mexico Congressman

And just for kicks…Bill Nye, the environmentalist “Science Guy” — no background in environmentalism or science, he’s a mechanical engineer and comedy writer

November 15, 2024 - In Bill Clinton's new book "Citizen" he denies ever going to Epstein Island and had "no inkling of the crimes he was committing"

Former President Bill Clinton aka “Doe 36” has finally broken his long-held silence about his ties to former financier and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

The UK Sun on Friday obtained excerpts from the 42nd president’s new book, “Citizen,” which he describes some of his interactions with the infamous p*dophile. However, his descriptions of their meetings contradict other credible reports regarding the two men’s relationship.

In the book, Clinton admits that he flew on Epstein’s private jet, the Lolita Express. However, he claimed the plane was for pure business purposes, not pleasure.

According to Wild Bill, Epstein let him use the plane to support Clinton’s foundation, and they spoke about economics and politics during the flights. Clinton then claimed that he and Epstein only met two more times afterward: once in Clinton’s office in Harlem and the other in Epstein’s New York home.

Clinton, though, denied ever visiting Little Saint James, Epstein’s private island. As TGP readers know, this is where the p*dophile carried out many of his sexual misdeeds.

He also blasted Epstein as “odd” while claiming he was unaware of the financier’s many crimes.

“I had always thought Epstein was odd but had no inkling of the crimes he was committing,” Clinton wrote.

“He hurt a lot of people, but I knew nothing about it, and by the time he was first arrested in 2005, I had stopped contact with him. I’ve never visited his island,” the former president added.

Clinton went on to write that he regretted ever meeting Epstein at all despite reaping benefits from the relationship. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 11/16/2024)  (Archive)

November 17, 2024 - Former CDC official says it’s “extremely dangerous” for RFK Jr. to push the idea that getting “vaccinated” should be “totally up to the individual”

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Acting Director Dr. Richard Besser raised concerns Sunday over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) because he advocates for optional vaccinations, though he acknowledged that no immunization is 100% protective.

President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of Kennedy as the leader of HHS on Nov. 14, stating he believes the former Independent presidential candidate, who has been an outspoken advocate against the COVID-19 vaccines and others, is prepared to restore “the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic.” On ABC’s “This Week,” host Martha Raddatz asked the former acting director if he had concerns that Kennedy would push to “get rid” of vaccines altogether.

“Well, it’s not a matter of getting rid of them. No vaccine is 100% protective. When when you send your kid to school, fully vaccinated, you don’t want to have to worry that the child sitting next to them, that their parents chose not to vaccinate their child, because once the level of vaccination in a classroom drops below something like 95%, it’s a setup for diseases like measles or whooping cough to spread,” Besser said. “If there’s a child in the classroom who has an immune problem, that child is at risk.”

WATCH:

“So it’s not a matter of saying, ‘Oh, yes, you have access to your vaccines.’ It’s pushing the idea that vaccines should be something that is totally up to the individual. We have a social contract in our country. There are things we do for our own health, but there are things we do that are good for ourselves, our families and our communities. Vaccination falls into that category. Having someone who denies that in that role is extremely dangerous,” Besser concluded.

November 18, 2024 - The Georgia Court of Appeals has abruptly cancelled oral argument in the Fani Willis/Trump RICO disqualification appeal

A Grok (X AI) review of the event:

According to Grok

Did this happen The Georgia Court of Appeals has abruptly cancelled oral argument in the #FaniWillis Trump RICO disqualification appeal if so break it down for me.

Yes, this event occurred. Here’s a breakdown of the situation:
Event:
  • Date of Cancellation: November 18, 2024.
  • Event Cancelled: The oral argument in the appeal concerning the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the RICO case against former President Donald Trump and other defendants.
Context:
  • Original Scheduling: The Georgia Court of Appeals had scheduled oral arguments for December 5, 2024, to hear Trump’s appeal regarding the decision not to disqualify Fani Willis from prosecuting the election interference case.
  • Reason for Appeal: Trump and other defendants sought to disqualify Willis based on allegations of an improper romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired, which they argued created a conflict of interest.
  • Judge’s Decision: Initially, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Willis could continue with the case provided Wade resigned, which he did.
Cancellation Details:
  • Announcement: The Georgia Court of Appeals announced the cancellation of the scheduled oral argument “until further order of this court,” meaning no new date has yet been set for the hearing.
  • Impact: This cancellation delays the resolution of the appeal, potentially affecting the timeline of the entire case. It could mean more time before any trial can proceed, impacting the legal proceedings related to the 2020 election interference allegations against Trump and others.
Possible Implications:
  • Delay in Case Progression: The case is likely to experience further delays as the Court of Appeals decides when or if to reschedule the oral arguments.
  • Legal Strategy: Both sides might need to adjust their legal strategies based on this development. The prosecution might continue its preparation, while the defense could see this as an opportunity to further challenge the case’s foundation or Willis’s involvement.
  • Public and Political Perception: This move might fuel discussions on social media and among political commentators about the handling of high-profile cases, the integrity of the judicial process, and the timing in relation to political events.
Reasons for Cancellation (Speculative, as no specific reason was given):
  • Administrative: Courts can cancel hearings due to scheduling conflicts, changes in judicial staff, or other procedural reasons.
  • New Evidence or Developments: Sometimes new information or legal motions can prompt a need to reassess or postpone scheduled arguments.
  • Strategic Reevaluation: Either side might request or agree to a delay for strategic reasons, like needing more time for preparation or due to external legal or political developments.
Given there’s no detailed explanation for the cancellation, these points are speculative based on typical reasons for such actions in legal contexts. The absence of a new date means that this aspect of the case remains unresolved, with ongoing implications for its progression.

November 18, 2024 - Study: Biden-Harris administration weaponized education department to ‘punish’ Christian colleges

According to the American Principles Project (APP), actions by the Department of Education have “unfairly” targeted Christian colleges and universities while ignoring Ivy League schools, the organization reported on November 18.

The report said almost 70 percent of the actions involved faith-based and career schools. APP noted those schools represent less than ten percent of students across America:

Created with the implicit purpose of advancing the Biden-Harris administration’s woke agenda, the Department’s Office of Enforcement also targeted two of the nation’s most prominent Christian universities — Grand Canyon University and Liberty University — which resulted in record-level fines worth more than all penalties imposed over the past seven years combined.

In a video dated from July, now President-elect Donald Trump promised to close the Department of Education, Breitbart News reported on November 12.

(,,,) Trump stated:

For the past four years, as the Chair of the Board at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), Linda has been a fierce advocate for Parents’ Rights, working hard at both AFPI and America First Works (AFW) to achieve Universal School Choice in 12 States, giving children the opportunity to receive an excellent Education, regardless of zip code or income.

According to the APP study, about 12 Christian colleges have been targeted with penalties or are no longer allowed to receive federal student aid.

In a statement, APP Policy Director Jon Schweppe said, “For the last four years, Democrats have been busy weaponizing every part of the federal government to target their opponents”:

While major assaults from agencies like the Department of Justice have taken most of the headlines, we should not ignore similarly corrupt efforts in other agencies as well. As our report details, the Biden-Harris Department of Education has been engaged in a long-running scheme to punish Christian colleges that are ideologically opposed to the left’s agenda. The unfair targeting of these institutions has been egregious, and it needs to stop immediately.

According to the APP announcement, the average fine for a Christian school regarding a Clery Act violation was $815,000. The organization noted those against public and private institutions were recorded at $228,571. (Read more: Breitbart News, 11/29/2024)  (Archive)

November 19, 2024 - 4 key takeaways from FEMA head’s testimony after supervisor told staff to avoid houses with Trump signs

House Republicans pressed Deanne Criswell, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, about bias at FEMA after a supervisor directed staff to avoid helping Florida residents with signs supporting Donald Trump.

A FEMA supervisor, Marn’i Washington, told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida, to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid after Hurricane Milton, The Daily Wire’s Leif Le Mahieu reported. The directive reportedly prevented FEMA from offering post-hurricane aid to at least 20 homes displaying Trump signs or flags in late October and November.

Criswell announced that FEMA had fired Washington and claimed Washington acted on her own initiative in giving these orders. Yet Washington claimed that her directions were not an isolated incident. Sources inside FEMA have spoken to The Daily Signal and other outlets, also saying that the direction for FEMA staff to avoid Trump supporters was not an isolated incident.

November 20, 2024 - Michael Byrd who fatally shot J6 Ashli Babbitt, has lengthy disciplinary record that includes gun incidents

(Credit: Revolver News)

The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riots and then was promoted has a lengthy internal affairs and disciplinary record that includes firearm-related incidents, a sweeping congressional investigation has found.

The issues in Captain Michael Byrd’s background included a failed shotgun qualification test, a failed FBI background check for a weapon’s purchase, a 33-day suspension for a lost weapon and referral to Maryland state prosecutors for firing his gun at a stolen car fleeing his neighborhood, according to congressional and police documents obtained by Just the News.

Byrd’s record was uncovered during a larger House Administration Oversight Subcommittee investigation into the Capitol Police disciplinary process and was chronicled in a letter Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the panel’s chairman, sent Wednesday to the department’s chief, Thomas Manger, in which the lawmaker expressed concerns about the officer’s promotion to captain.

“This Subcommittee is dedicated to ensuring USCP has autonomy from political pressures so it can make operational and personnel decisions,” Loudermilk wrote in the letter. “However, based on the information obtained by the Subcommittee regarding USCP’s handling of Captain Byrd following January 6, 2021, and his significant disciplinary history, I have concerns about USCP’s decision to promote him to the rank of Captain.”

You can read the letter below: List of incidents:

The incidents described in Loudermilk’s letter are corroborated by congressional records and police reports that date as early as 2004 including:

  • A 2004 incident where Byrd, who was off duty, fired his weapon at a stolen vehicle as it was fleeing his residential neighborhood;
  • A 2015 “conduct unbecoming an officer” complaint filed by a fellow officer after Byrd, again off duty, confronted him while the officer was working at a high school football game in an incident with racial overtones;
  • A 33-day suspension in 2019 after Byrd left his service weapon unattended in a public Capitol Hill bathroom;
  • A failure to pass a routine background check shortly after Jan. 6 when attempting to purchase a shotgun for home protection, after the USCP worked to provide Byrd a department-issued shotgun instead, he failed the training; and
  • Three further referrals to the Capitol Police Office of Professional Responsibility for which records are reportedly missing.

Mark Schamel, the lawyer representing Byrd, did not respond several requests for comment. The U.S. Capitol Police also did not return several inquiries from Just the News. (Read more: Just the News, 11/20/2024)  (Archive)

November 22, 2024 - Megyn Kelly breaks down when Hillary Clinton started the "Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset" hoax

 

November 22, 2024 - Soros-backed 'charities' are aiding and abetting illegal immigration

Remember when aiding and abetting a criminal act would lead to some pretty serious consequences?

No longer, it seems — at least, if you’re a non-governmental organization (NGO) or “charity” that is helping people cross into and remain in the United States illegally. Crossing into the United States illegally is still a crime, after all — and there are a number of these organizations, tax-exempt at that, dedicated to bogging down the immigration system and making it as difficult as possible to enforce the law.

Tax-exempt organizations have spent more than $100 million since President Joe Biden took office in 2021 working to prevent the federal government from deporting illegal immigrants, according to a Washington Examiner review of tax filings.

The organizations, which include donor-advised funds shifting around millions of dollars in untraceable funds, Soros-backed philanthropies, and large legal groups, collectively spent at least $101.9 million on programs intended to aid illegal immigrants in avoiding deportation. While some of the programs paid for by these nonprofit organizations involved advocacy efforts, the vast majority were oriented toward providing immigrants with legal resources to thwart deportation.

(…) Here are some of those organizations.

La Raza Community Resource Center, an immigration nonprofit organization based out of San Francisco, was one of the biggest spenders among the groups resisting deportation efforts, disbursing $14.1 million between 2021 and 2023 for a program providing legal services to asylum-seekers and migrants facing deportation. Immigrant Justice Corps, meanwhile, is a New York-based charity that spent $20.2 million over the same period on a fellowship program placing recent college graduates at nonprofit organizations across the country to provide illegal migrants with legal services.

And:

Legal Services of New Jersey, a nonprofit organization that provides free legal representation in civil rights litigation to low-income residents of the state, was also a major force in antideportation efforts between 2021 and 2022. The organization distributed $12.5 million worth of grants over that period to help other organizations provide “legal assistance for individuals facing detention or deportation.”

Pangea Legal Services, located in San Francisco, spent over $5 million on providing representation to asylum-seekers and people who entered the country illegally between 2021 and 2023. In those years, the nonprofit organization served nearly 1,500 clients through its program, according to its tax forms.

But here’s the real kicker, and perhaps the consummate villain in this affair:

The Soros family’s Foundation to Promote Open Society donated $500,000 to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in 2021 to support its “New Way Forward” campaign. The campaign pushed changes to the legal system that would end the automatic deportation of some criminal aliens, end the mandatory detention of illegal aliens, and decriminalize entering the U.S. without proper documentation.

November 25, 2024 - NIH Chief confesses COVID Health Initiatives were completely made up

“I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T BE SAYING THIS OUT LOUD;” @NIH Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were “COMPLETELY MADE UP”

“I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.” Adds, “We’re all going to learn [about vaccine safety] when it’s too late,” as Pfizer & Moderna “are just getting a bunch of money… Vaccines were accelerated through the approval.”

‘We fly under the radar of being scrutinized…I don’t think I have too much to worry about.’

Trump victory “worse for the NIH.”

“It would be better for a Democrat to be in office.”

“I haven’t gotten the latest COVID shots, and I’m not going to… there’s mixed evidence about if it really does anything,” says Raja Cholan, Chief of the Health Data Standards Branch at the U.S. National Library of Medicine for The National Institutes of Health (@NIH).

Cholan, who defines the strategy for health data standards at the NIH, raised concerns about vaccine risks, particularly for younger individuals: “For people that are 30 or under, it really increases your risk for heart conditions. The data does show that… I’m close enough to 30 to where I don’t want to have a heart attack.” He added, “I probably shouldn’t be saying this out loud,” acknowledging the sensitivity of his statements around vaccine safety.

He also expressed doubts about the vaccines’ effectiveness, adding, “I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.”

Cholan linked the NIAID (@NIAIDNews) to the funding of vaccine research, alleging, “There is some evidence out that the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases… they might have funded Wuhan, a lab in Wuhan, China, to make COVID,” referencing Anthony Fauci (@Fauci) and his role in global health initiatives. “That’s where Fauci was the director. Like they might have funded some labs to do vaccine studies and disease, like to prepare for an outbreak.”

Criticizing the expedited vaccine approval process, Cholan explained, “The measles vaccine requires several rounds of approval, but the COVID-19 vaccines were accelerated through the approvals for all of us to get our boosters.” He also highlighted the financial motivations behind the vaccines, saying, “Pfizer and Moderna are just getting a bunch of money from it.”

Cholan also commented on the difficulties of implementing reform, even under an administration led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., adding, “Anything that RFK would want to do probably would just, like, wouldn’t happen,” pointing to the entrenched relationships between federal agencies, pharmaceutical companies.

@OkeefeMedia contacted Cholan for comment but did not receive a response. Prior to the release of the NIH Tapes, Cholan deleted his LinkedIn account.

 

November 25, 2024 - New January 6 video shows DC Metro officer Lila Morris out of breath after she repeatedly beat Rosanne Boyland with a police club

Tommy Tatum News published a video on Sunday of DC Metro Police Officer Lila Morris taking a break after she beat Rosanne Boyland dead on the Capitol Steps on January 6, 2021.

It’s difficult to determine whether Officer Morris’s brutal beating directly caused Rosanne Boyland’s death or was merely a contributing factor.

What is clear, however, is that the mainstream media has consistently failed to report honestly on Rosanne Boyland’s story, just as they have with so many other accounts from that tragic day.

Officer Morris was then awarded a trip to the Super Bowl for her courageous work that day.

Rosanne’s body was cremated and sent home.

(…) According to dozens of eyewitnesses and survivors, Rosanne Boyland’s death was caused by police. They can be substantiated by available video.

THIS STORY HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY IGNORED BY THE GOVERNMENT, POLITICIANS, BIDEN REGIME AND MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

The video above was taken shortly after Rosanne and the rest of the crowd had been pushed by police down steps into a ceiling-high bone-crushing and deadly pile that cops doused with opulent amounts of pepper spray and teargas. The police would not allow anyone to help the individuals being crushed and attacked anyone who tried to help. After about ten excruciating minutes, the protesters were able to work themselves out of the pile and save each other.

Rosanne lay motionless on the steps after the pile cleared. People tried to get near her to help and it was then that she was seen being beaten brutally by Police Officer Lila Morris with a stick. See that video here:

Rosanne’s face was blue and bloody. Her body lay motionless as men tried to desperately help and defend her, only to be tear-gassed or struck by police. People begged and pleaded with police to give Rosanne CPR.

When they realized the police were not going to help and continued to spray teargas, the men finally carried Rosanne down the stairs away from the attacks of police to attempt administer CPR themselves. This is where the video above begins.

This heartbreaking video shows their haphazard yet valiant attempts to save the life of Rosanne Boyland.

Blood can be seen splattered on the white step behind Boyland.

Men and women yell at the police: “She’s dying! She’s Dying!”, “Fuck you!”, “You did this!” and “This is on you!”

“I think she is still alive,” someone says.

As the men finally give up and carry Rosanne up the stairs to again beg for police help, a man that mistakes Rosanne for a man can be heard yelling in indignant anger:

“They let him die (police)! They let that man die! We needed resuscitation and they let him die! They pepper-sprayed him and let this man go down. That’s unacceptable and its unconstitutional!”

HOW DOES THIS TIE INTO THE BIGGER PICTURE OF JANUARY 6TH?

The government and mainstream media have exploited the violence on the West Capitol Steps as unhinged Trump Supporters who attacked police for no reason.

They carefully cut Rosanne out of all footage that has been released to make the protesters around her seem like monsters with no motive for their seemingly irrational anger. ROSANNE BOYLAND’S DEATH EXPLAINS IT.

“The crowd saw it, they reacted, there was an explanation to all those “back the blue” type guys suddenly becoming angry with police,” said a J6 prisoner who is currently being held pre-trial who tried to help Rosanne.

“A pack of humans is literally like a pack of ants,” said Ryan. “If you flick and hurt one, the whole ant hill feels it and starts to react. That is the simplest way to explain what happened to the crowd at the West Capitol Terrace on January 6th.”

Rosanne Boyland smiled and walked happily towards the Capitol on January 6th in plastic American flag sunglasses- blissfully ignorant of her fate that day. (Credit: public domain)

November 25, 2024 - Jack Smith surrenders: asks judge to dismiss Trump case in Florida - Epic lawfare fail

Smith, on Monday, filed a motion to dismiss the election interference case against Trump in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, marking a major victory for the president-elect:

After careful consideration, the Department has determined that OLC’s prior opinions concerning the Constitution’s prohibition on federal indictment and prosecution of a sitting President apply to this situation and that as a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated.

Moreover, Smith then filed a motion in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to dismiss an appeal in the documents case, which “will leave in place the district court’s order dismissing the indictment without prejudice as to him.” Smith cites the reasoning laid out in his motion to dismiss the election interference case:

For the reasons set forth in United States v. Trump, No. 23-cr-57, ECF No. 281 (D.D.C.) (filed Nov. 25, 2024) (moving to dismiss criminal prosecution as to defendant Trump in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia), the United States of America moves, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 42 and Eleventh Circuit Rule 42-1, to dismiss the appeal in this case as to defendant Trump.

Taken together, the moves mark the end of the federal prosecutions against the president-elect, leaving two remaining cases at the state level in Georgia and New York. (Read more: Breitbart News, 11/25/2024)  (Archive)
