Proof positive the press has their heads pushed so far up Joe Biden’s backside as to give him an upper endoscopy


The press refuses to report on nine boxes of material moved to Boston from the Penn-Biden Center

Biden’s document story keeps changing, this time by nine boxes

Just the-News addresses the nine boxes of unknown Biden documents that have been moved from the Penn-Biden Center.

President Joe Biden strongly condemned former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified materials following the FBI’s Aug. 8, 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, yet an ever-growing number of document discoveries appears to undercut his criticisms.

The National Archives and Records Administration in a March 7 letter to GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin confirmed that it had recovered a further nine boxes of materials from the Boston office of Biden’s attorney, Patrick Moore.

Moreover, despite claiming possession of them in November and storing the materials in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, “NARA has not reviewed the contents of the boxes found at Mr. Moore’s Boston office,” acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall told the lawmakers.

This trove of materials was previously housed at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, the site at which a lawyer cleaning out Biden’s former office discovered classified materials that reportedly included intelligence on the U.K., Iran, and Ukraine. Biden said in January that he was “surprised” to learn of the discovery.

Reports of the discovery first emerged in January of this year and prompted Biden staff to comb facilities and offices he occupied for additional sensitive materials. That search turned up more materials, including multiple batches of documents marked classified at his Delaware home. Biden indicated he had been aware of at least one such batch, defending his storage of documents inside his locked garage alongside his Corvette.

Attorney General Merrick Garland, facing intense GOP criticism, eventually appointed special counsel Robert Hur to handle the Department of Justice’s Biden-related dealings.

Not one question by the press or one news segment on ABC news

While my wife had the broadcast from the ABC World News Tonight blaring in the living room and neither of us were giving it full attention, at least I gave it enough attention to not that there was never a mention of the nine boxes. Likewise, there was no mention of the moral conflict created by Biden’s having contributed to the bail funds of so many Antifa outlaws while he holds numerous 6 January protesters on charges like parading and obstructing an official proceeding.

 

The press goes into overtime regarding its denial of actual events on 6 January 2021

Footage shows Capitol cop Brian Sicknick uninjured on 6 January

The Federalist points out how Officer Sicknick has been shown walking around the Capitol buildings long after Democrats in the press and office allege him to have been beaten to death during the 6 January riot.

New footage from the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021 shows Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick walking around the complex after Democrats and the media claimed he was brutally murdered. The clips aired on Monday’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and were reportedly viewed previously by “investigators working for the Democratic Party,” according to Carlson.

Sicknick’s Jan. 7 death was immediately exploited by the left. The New York Times reported directly that Sicknick died—according to the paper’s headline—“From Injuries in Pro-Trump Rampage.” One month later, the Times quietly corrected its reporting.

CNN later linked Sicknick’s death to a chemical irritant such as pepper spray or bear spray used by rioters. His family told ProPublica on Jan. 8 that Sicknick “texted them Wednesday night to say that while he had been pepper-sprayed, he was in good spirits.” Two men were charged in March of 2021 for spraying the officer.

A report from the D.C. medical examiner’s office published a month later concluded Sicknick died of natural causes.

The surveillance tapes aired by Carlson on Monday night show Sicknick walking around after altercations with the alleged murderers. Carlson’s program published the footage upon review of more than 40,000 hours of tape handed over to his team by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy several weeks ago.

“To this day, media accounts describe Sicknick as someone who was ‘slain’ on Jan. 6,” Carlson said. “The video we reviewed proves that was a lie… By all appearances, Brian Sicknick is healthy and vigorous. He’s wearing a helmet, so it’s hard to imagine he was killed by a head injury.”

Like a dog trained to bark on cue, Karine Jean-Pierre doubled down on her claim that the 6 January 2021 riot “cost police officers their lives”

The four officers who committed suicide cannot be proven to be the victims of this riot any more than they can be proven to have been killed because they would “spill the beans” on the game of Pelosi and Biden.

Biden’s lackeys in the DOJ have denied justice to 6 January defendants

The Daily Mail details how the attorney of the QAnon Shaman was denied exculpatory evidence vailable to the January 6 Commission.

The lawyer who represented the ‘QAnon Shaman’ in his trial for storming the Capitol on January 6 has called for his client to be released after Tucker Carlson aired previously unseen footage from the riot.

Carlson on Monday night used his Fox News show to broadcast clips showing the so-called Shaman, Jacob Chansley, inside Congress.

Chansley appears to be escorted through the building by Capitol Police officers, while other officers allow the chest-baring, horn-wearing Trump supporter to pass. Carlson used the footage to argue that the rioters were ‘sightseers’, and ‘mostly peaceful’.

Chansley pleaded guilty in September 2021 to civil disorder and violent entry to the Capitol, among other charges. He was sentenced two months later to three and a half years in prison, with the new footage leading to claims he was unfairly portrayed as a violent intruder. 

On Wednesday night, Chansley’s former lawyer said he had not been shown the footage broadcast by Carlson, which the conservative news anchor said was ‘clearly exculpatory’.

Will this exonerate Chansley? Whether it does or doesn’t is for lawyers and higher court judges to mete out

Whether or not being lead into the chambers of Congress by Capitol Police would exonerate Jacob Chansley from a charge of obstructing a congressional proceeding falls into a range above my pay grade. Still, isn’t the defense supposed to get all the evidence in the case against the defendant?

Therefore, this will all be decided in a court one step up from the D.C. courts where this skewed view of justice has been sent out. I hope this results in a resignation of a judge or two.

The press ignores hearings on Biden’s Afghan failure

Congress investigates deadly withdrawal and current threats from Afghanistan

The Washington Examiner details the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s review of the evacuation of Afghanistan during August 2021.

Congress revisited the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and the current threat level from the country where the United States was at war for 20 years in a pair of hearings Wednesday.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee heard from six witnesses in a hearing that focused on evacuation efforts during the final two weeks of the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan in August 2021.

Two witnesses had been at Hamid Karzai International Airport, where the evacuations were taking place, when a suicide bomber killed 13 U.S. service members and roughly 170 Afghan civilians. Three others were among the hundreds of veterans who participated in ad hoc groups helping to get Afghan allies out of the country. The sixth witness was the executive director of an immigrant nonprofit group that has helped Afghans resettle in the U.S.

Marine Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews emotionally recounted the Aug. 26, 2021, bombing, in which he lost an arm and a leg. Although he had identified a suspect he still believes to be the bomber beforehand, he was not given the green light by his superiors to take out the threat.

“Throughout the entirety of the day on August 26, 2021, we disseminated the suicide bomber information to ground forces at Abbey Gate. … Over the communication network, we passed that there was a potential threat and an attack imminent. This was as serious as it could get,” he explained. “Eventually, the individual disappeared. To this day, we believe he was a suicide bomber. We made everyone on the ground aware. Operations had briefly halted but then started again. Plain and simple, we were ignored. Our expertise was disregarded. No one was held accountable for our safety.”

He called the withdrawal a “catastrophe, in my opinion” and said “it was an inexcusable lack of accountability and negligence,” while Aiden Gunderson, a former Army combat medic who was deployed twice to Afghanistan and assisted with the evacuation, told the committee the withdrawal was “an organization failure at multiple levels.”

Both relived the painful and tragic memories of the bombing, also describing the desperation and fear of the thousands of Afghans that swarmed the airport gates every day for those two weeks despite tremendous heat and overcrowding, hoping and praying to be selected by U.S. forces to get on a plane out of Afghanistan.

Francis Hoang, Lt. Col. Scott Mann, and Peter Lucier worked with separate groups that worked tirelessly to navigate Afghan allies through Kabul and into the confines of the airport. Each spoke about the deep emotional strife they felt, which they said was a feeling shared by countless veterans, as the U.S. military left on Aug. 30, 2021, with an untold number of Afghan allies at risk under the Taliban regime left behind. They frequently referenced the thoughts and feelings of veterans at large who were left mentally wounded by how the end of the war played out.

Mann referenced a friend who ended his life a few months ago, saying the friend’s wife “confirmed to me that the Afghan abandonment reactivated all of the demons that he had managed to put behind him from our time in Afghanistan together.”

Members of both parties thanked the witnesses for their tireless work. There was a nearly complete partisan divide about blaming the Biden administration for what happened. House Republicans have been eager to hold hearings on the withdrawal since regaining the majority this year. Democrats frequently pointed to the longevity of the war and argued that previous administrations set up untenable conditions.

The special inspector general for Afghan reconstruction, which has provided oversight to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan for more than a decade, substantially blamed the Trump administration’s deal with the Taliban for a negotiated withdrawal in February 2020.

On the other side of the Capitol, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, CIA Director William Burns, Defense Intelligence Agency Director Scott Berrier, National Security Agency Director Paul Nakasone, and FBI Director Christopher Wray testified on their current threat assessments globally to the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Berrier acknowledged that his agency’s “reach and grasp into that nation since the fall of the government has eroded over time, but we still have some access, and I would say, based on what we know right now from the threat of al Qaeda, they’re trying to survive basically without a real plan to at least, or intent to, attack the West anytime soon,” though he warned, “ISIS-K poses a bit of a larger threat, but they are under attack from the Taliban regime right now, and it’s a matter of time before they may have the ability and intent to actually attack the West at this point.”

What? Current threats? Just like the border, Biden assures us this all is secure.

During what should have been the slowest month of illegal entry for the year (January 2023), America experienced the apprehension of over 128,000 known illegal aliens coming over our Southern border. That does not count the thousands who have discovered how porous our Northern border is and have started taking rides into Canada in order to then come South.

Additionally, Biden, you can’t have it two ways. You can’t say that four police who committed suicide after 6 January 2021 were “killed by the riot” and not take credit for the deaths of service men who, like the friend of Lt. Col. Scott Mann, took their lives due to the results of the Afghan withdrawal.

 

A tale of two justice systems — Updated


A tale of two justice systems

The documents stored in Biden’s garage could have been accessed by Hunter, because Hunter was the previous owner of the property.

The garage used by Biden to store secret documents could have been accessed by drug-addicted Hunter, because Hunter was the previous owner of the property.

Biden’s situation Trump’s situation
Biden (as Vice President with no authority to classify or declassify documents) took Obama regime top secret documents. Trump (as President with authority to classify and declassify documents) took Trump administration documents.
Biden left these documents at a think tank at the University of Pennsylvania where Chinese donors contributed a total of $54.6 million in donations between 2014 and 2019. Additionally, Joe Biden received nearly $1 million from the University of Pennsylvania as an honorary professor between 2017 to 2019. Despite the years of Democrat accusations, the Mueller Report stated that there was no proof of collusion between President Trump and Russia (or other nations). In contrast to Biden, Trump gave up his income from his private sources during his time in office.
Biden left the University of Pennsylvania documents at an unsecured location. Chances are high that the lawyer who discovered those documents did not have top-secret clearance. Mar-a-Lago was a secure location. It has a Secret Service detail. It has staffers with proper security clearances..
Biden held classified documents including US intelligence memos and briefing materials that covered topics including Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom. Trump took documents covering the reach of the deep state into the lives of everyday Americans.
Biden may have only taken 10 files with the first discovery. However, this is hidden due to the secret nature of the documents. Trump may have taken hundreds of documents. However, this is hidden due to the secret nature of the documents.
Both Garland and the DOJ knew of Biden’s top secret documents on 2 November 2022, but did not announce their existence until January. Garland had the FBI raid Mar-a-Lago for maximum political effect.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has assigned John Lausch to do nothing but review classified material that was discovered at a Biden think tank. Garland decided to throw the heavy hand of the law against political enemies by appointing a special prosecutor on 18 November 2022.
Biden’s second set of “discovered” documents were in his “locked” garage with his sportscar. Don’t even talk about how the safe in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago office was supposedly “insecure” after this.
Update
The garage used to store secret documents by Biden could have been accessed by drug-addicted Hunter Biden, because Hunter Biden previously owned it. Lawyers received instructions to secure Trump’s document room months before the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago.
Additional Update
With the naming of a special counsel to review both the Biden and the Trump secret documents, a pretense of equal treatment began to be spread in the media. However, not all of Biden’s properties and not all of the relatives (like Melania’s clothes or Barron’s) have been searched. Additionally, while Biden’s lawyers have either conducted the searches or been present during the searches, Trump’s lawyers were kept away from Mar-a-Lago during the raid
Further Update
The additional files found fall under both Joe’s time as Vice President and as Senator (neither of which positions give him the right to hold secret documents). The DOJ withholding this information constitutes election interference for both the midterms and the Georgia senatorial elections. The DOJ actions toward Biden makes the raids on Mar-a-Lago even more suspicious in their implications for election interference.

 

A federal ruling that needs to go up the chain


A federal judge strikes down Texas election law requiring residence verification of voter registration addresses

The Texan outlines a setback in Texas for those who support election integrity.

U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel struck down a Texas election law requiring county registrars to verify the addresses of registered voters within their jurisdiction.

The law in question, Senate Bill (SB) 1111, requires county voter registrars to verify that addresses at which voters are registered correspond with residences, not only post office boxes or other kinds of addresses. Previously, the Election Code tasked the registrar with verification only if he had “reason to believe that a voter’s current residence is different from that indicated on the registration records.”

If a registrar has reason to believe the registration address doesn’t match up with a residence, he is tasked with notifying the voter and requesting verification such as a driver’s license, state-issued identification card, license to carry, document from the county appraisal district showing homestead status, utility bill, or official tax or motor vehicle document verifying the address.

Under state code, post office boxes may be used as mailing addresses listed in voter files but not as the listed physical address.

In his statement of intent for SB 1111, state Sen. Paul Bettencourt (R-Houston) wrote, “Currently, the Texas Election Code does not sufficiently define the characteristics of a voter residence address.”

“Consequently, the vague description of a residence address has allowed voter registration certificates with residential addresses corresponding with vacant lots, mailbox stores, motels, and commercial locations.”

The plaintiffs — the Texas League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and Voto Latino — alleged that three provisions of the bill “unconstitutionally burden the right to vote.”

The first is the section that requires voters whose registration address is a post office box to submit “evidence of the voter’s residence address” to the registrar. The second states that “A person may not establish residence for the purpose of influencing the outcome of a certain election,” referred to as the “residence provision.” And the third stipulates that a registered address is not lost if the voter leaves for “temporary purposes only.”

Actually, it looks like work should occur in two places: the Texas legislature and federal courts

Admittedly, the Texan system is set to limit the number of laws that get passed by crowding the lawmaking into a few months every two years. Additionally, when a portion of the lawmakers pull a stunt by running off to Washington to complain about the voter integrity bills being pushed through, it makes it even more difficult.

Therefore, it is understandable that some ill-thought-out words might make it into a law. 

Still, with some effort from more sane heads in both the federal courts and the Texas legislature, hopefully this will be fixed for both the short and long terms.

 

The result of voting for Democrat judges


Democrat judge releases a murderer on bail and that murderer kills again

Houston ABC affiliate KTRK reports on a murdering criminal who was released on bail by a judge (a Democrat judge, though not mentioned in this article).

A man out on bond for murder, has been charged with murder a second time, court records show.

TreveonTatumTreveon Tatum, 20, was charged with murder in 2019 and made his $50,000 bond. He was accused of shooting and killing Ondreus Patterson, 18, outside of a home on Cypress Bay Drive.

Now, he has been arrested and charged for the alleged murder of 20-year-old John Kelly, according to court documents. The shooting happened just after 1 a.m. on Feb. 8 in the 800 block of Dunson Glen.

Two others were injured that day after a barrage of bullets were fired into a crowd in what deputies described to be a party or gathering at an apartment parking lot.

Crystal Johnson, the mother of Patterson, has been trying to get her son’s accused murderer off the streets for years.

“If they would have done right by Dreu (Ondreus) the first time, someone else’s loved one wouldn’t be gone and have to go through what I have to go through,” Johnson said.

After Tatum posted bond in 2019, he was charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for an incident in April of 2020.

JudgeJoshHill232DistrictCourtHarrisCountyJudge Josh Hill set bond at $150,000 and Tatum stayed behind bars until he was able to post bond a year later.

Prosecutors tried to revoke his bond on the murder charge, but after Tatum made bond a second time, he stayed out of a jail.

Records show he violated his bond several other times for issues with curfew and his GPS monitoring system.

Johnson said she isn’t surprised her son’s accused murderer has been charged with murder a second time. Johnson said she believes the judge has been far too lenient.

“You have had two charges, multiple violations. You don’t come to court, you have an ankle monitor on and that doesn’t work,” Johnson said. “You can do whatever you want and there’s no consequences.”

Tatum is now behind bars, and this time, his bond has been denied. His next court date is scheduled for next week.

Oddly, if you do a little homework, you find this judge to be Democrat

If you go to a trusted site (like Ballotopedia or HarrisDemocrats), you will find that Judge Josh Hill finds his political home among Democrats. Surprised? You should not be.

Still, why can’t the local media do a little homework and discover the party of the multiple judges and the District Attorney who release felons on bail? They spent 90% of their newscasts on COVID since January 2021 until a month or so ago. Now they spend major portions of their newscasts spouting other Democrat talking points. So what stops them from doing the amount of research that a third grader might before a paper?

 

Pelosi and other Democrats work to create a totalitarian state


Pelosi quietly creates her Gestapo and intimidates politicians critical of her January 6 Committee

Representative Nehls accuses Capitol Police of secretly taking photo of documents while in his office

Fox News reports that Representative Troy Nehls has accused the Capitol Police went into his office on two occasions and took pictures.

Texas Rep. Troy Nehls, a Republican, accused the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) of placing him under “investigation” and taking a secret photo of constitutionally-protected legislative documents in his office.

Nehls blasted out a press release on Tuesday with the accusation, saying he was placed under a probe “in which a USCP officer entered his office and took a photo of private Congressional material protected by the Speech and Debate Clause, Article I Section 6 of the U.S. Constitution.”

“The photo was passed up to USCP intelligence analysts and a report was filed citing ‘suspicious writings,’” Nehls’ office wrote in the release. “That following Monday, three plainclothed USCP agents returned to the office, where they questioned a staff member about the contents of the questionably-obtained photo.”

The freshman Republican accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Democrat leadership of “weaponizing Federal agencies to suppress opposing views” in a Tuesday statement to Fox News Digital.

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger released a statement on Tuesday defending their officer, saying if “a member’s office is left open and unsecured, without anyone inside the office, USCP officers are directed to document that and secure the office to ensure nobody can wander in and steal or do anything else nefarious.”

“The weekend before Thanksgiving, one of our vigilant officers spotted the congressman’s door was wide open,” Manger said. “That Monday, USCP personnel personally followed up with the congressman’s staff and determined no investigation or further action of any kind was needed. No case investigation was ever initiated or conducted into the representative or his staff.”

If this is not enough, it seems that there are other cases where Capitol Police are accused of invading Congressional offices and are now under investigation by the Inspector General

The Federalist also lets us know how the Inspector General has started looking into accusations of the Capitol Police invading certain offices in Congress.

The inspector general for the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) has opened a formal investigation into whether the law enforcement agency tasked with securing the Capitol has been inappropriately surveilling elected members of Congress, their staff, and visitors to their offices, The Federalist has learned. The opening of the investigation follows news reports and accusations from lawmakers that USCP has overstepped its bounds as it tries to recover from the January 6 riots that tarnished both the Capitol and the reputation of the law enforcement agency that was supposed to keep it safe.

USCP Chief J. Thomas Manger confirmed the opening of the inspector general investigation in his response to congressional inquiries about USCP police tactics, reported in a January 24 article published by Politico, including surveilling and compiling intelligence dossiers on members of Congress, their staff, and visitors.

“While I am confident in our methods, I am asking the USCP Office of the Inspector General to review the USCP’s programs related to these security assessments to assure both this Committee, the Congress as a whole, and the public that these processes are legal, necessary, and appropriate,” Manger wrote to seven Republican lawmakers.

According to the Politico article, USCP analysts had been directed by Julie Farnam, the acting director of USCP’s Intelligence and Interagency Coordination Division, to “run ‘background checks on people whom lawmakers planned to meet, including donors and associates.”

“When staff were listed as attending these meetings, Capitol Police intelligence analysts also got asked to check the social media accounts of the staffers,” the Politico article alleged.

In his letter to lawmakers, Manger denied the allegations detailed in the Politico article and claimed USCP’s activities were both appropriate and legal.

Suspicions that USCP may not be acting appropriately did not arise in a vacuum, however. In November 2021, a USCP officer entered the congressional office of Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Tex., and took a photo of a whiteboard in Nehls’ legislative office detailing various legislative plans being considered by Nehls and his staff. In a formal police report filed several days after the incident, the officer wrote that he had been conducting a routine security patrol on Saturday, November 21, and discovered that one of the doors to Nehls’ office was open.

The report claimed that the officer entered Nehls’ office and found a whiteboard that contained “suspicious writings mentioning body armor[.]” The officer reportedly took a photo of the whiteboard, which was then passed around to analysts within USCP. The following Monday, USCP dispatched three plain-clothed intelligence officers to Nehls’ office and questioned a staffer who was there about the whiteboard and the legislative proposals it contained.

Just days before the USCP officer entered Nehls’ office and took a picture of the whiteboard Nehls and his staff used to brainstorm and catalog legislative ideas, the Washington Post ran a story about a federal government contractor in rural Texas who defrauded the United States by supplying Chinese-made body armor instead of body armor manufactured in the United States.

“From his home in rural Texas, a would-be defense contractor spun a web of fake companies and testing reports to pass off Chinese-made body armor as American equipment that met rigorous standards for use by the State Department and U.S. law enforcement partners in Latin America,” the Washington Post wrote on November 16, 2021. “Tanner Jackson, 32, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Alexandria federal court to one count of wire fraud, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.”

According to Nehls, who previously served as sheriff of Fort Bend County, Texas, his office whiteboard specifically called out faulty Chinese body armor. In fact, that Washington Post article was a key catalyst spurring Nehls to consider drafting legislation banning the procurement of Chinese body armor, a spokesman for Nehls told The Federalist.

What the police report did not include was any reference to multiple items on Nehls’ whiteboard immediately following the words “body armor” referencing Export Administration Regulations dealing specifically with Chinese imports or U.S. Department of Justice standards for certifying body armor.

In correspondence on the matter with the House Administration Committee, USCP Chief Manger said the responding officer who investigated Nehls’ office was also concerned by “an outline of the Rayburn Building with an X marked at the C Street entrance” drawn on the whiteboard. A Nehls spokesman told The Federalist it was little more than a crude map to help an intern find an ice machine in the Rayburn House Office Building.

“If Capitol Police leadership had spent as much time preparing for January 6 as they spent investigating my white board, the January 6 riot never would have happened,” Nehls, a former law enforcement officer, told The Federalist. “When I was a patrol officer responding to a call, I didn’t have the time or authority to go rifling through someone’s personal papers. There are serious 4th Amendment, constitutional issues at play here.”

Although Manger claimed in one e-mail that USCP agents were concerned the whiteboard may have contained a “veiled threat” to Nehls’ life, USCP never personally contacted Nehls to warn him that he may have been in danger, Nehls told The Federalist.

The Capitol Police’s treatment of Nehls and his office only fueled the fire of suspicion between lawmakers and USCP leadership that had been smoldering following the January 6 riot. One Republican congressional aide told The Federalist that rather than addressing the massive security and intelligence failures by USCP that allowed the post-election protests to spiral into riots, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi instead doubled down on failure and used the uproar as a pretext for turning the Capitol Police into her own force of political mercenaries.

“Instead of fixing the obvious problems with Capitol security, Pelosi used January 6 as an excuse to create her own personal Praetorian Guard,” the aide said.

Comments and recommendations for mandatory background checks on staff by Pelosi’s hand-picked Capitol security adviser, retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, have also done little to quell suspicions that Pelosi is using the January 6 proceedings to justify increased surveillance of her political enemies in Congress.

Democrat prosecutors exact light sentences for BLM protesters

In one case, Montez Lee pleads guilty to a single count of arson after burning a Black man to death and gets 10 years

The Washington Examiner informs us that Montel Lee was convicted on one count of arson despite having killed Oscar Stewart in the process of that crime.

A man who set a deadly fire in a Minneapolis pawn shop during the 2020 George Floyd riots was spared a murder charge and sentenced to just 10 years after federal prosecutors invoked Martin Luther King Jr. and asked the judge to show leniency.

Montez Terriel Lee, 26, pleaded guilty to a single count of arson and was sentenced earlier this month to 10 years in federal prison — much less than the 16 1/2 to 20-year punishment outlined in the sentencing guidelines.

Court documents show that Lee admitted he burned down the Max It Pawn Shop on May 28, 2020, the same night rioters set the Minneapolis Third Precinct building on fire following Floyd’s death at the hands of since-convicted police officer Derek Chauvin.

Two months after the fire, the charred remains of 30-year-old Oscar Lee Stewart were found in the rubble. Although Stewart’s death was attributed to the fire in the prosecutor’s sentencing memo, he was not charged with it.

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told the Washington Examiner that Lee could have been looking at a murder charge and a life sentence.

“It could have been tried as a capital case,” Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, said. “Even if conduct isn’t charged under the sentencing guidelines, any relevant conduct can be considered by the sentencing judge in fashioning an appropriate sentence. Any time there is a felony committed — and arson is a felony — and a death ensues, that’s homicide. … It doesn’t matter that just the arson was charged because someone died as a result. It’s a murder case.”

This, like the DOJ releasing illegal alien smugglers of 400 pounds of drugs, only encourages crime

Like the recent case where federal prosecutors did not bring charges against drug smugglers who they released, this only encourages crime.

In a second case, Abdi gets probation after trying to burn Minnesota school during BLM riots 

The New York Post discusses the case of Mohamed Hussein Abdi, who was given probation after trying to burn down a school during the George Floyd riots.

A man convicted of attempting to set fire to a high school during the Black Lives Matter riots in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd has been sentenced to five years probation.

Mohamed Hussein Abdi, 20, was handed the probation sentence in a U.S. District Court in St. Paul, Minnesota, Thursday after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit arson, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.

Abdi was also ordered to pay just over $34,000 in restitution to Gordon Parks High School in St. Paul.

Court documents state that the sentence was “imposed pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984.”

The presiding judge, Reagan-appointed District Court Judge David S. Doty, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News.

Abdi was arrested in June 2020, a month after he entered the high school through a broken glass door during the Floyd riot and could be seen on security footage pouring liquid from a white container onto the floor and then into a trashcan. Abdi then took a liquid-soaked garment and sent fire to the trash can before running away as flames and smoke began to spread.

Deadbeat district attorneys do injustice to the poor


Manhattan DA orders his attorneys to stop prosecuting crime other than murder

The New York Post reports that Manhattan’s District Attorney has decided to “not seek a carceral sentence” except with homicides (and a few other crimes).

Who needs soft-on-crime judges when the district attorney doesn’t even want to lock up the bad guys?

Manhattan’s new DA has ordered his prosecutors to stop seeking prison sentences for hordes of criminals and to downgrade felony charges in cases including armed robberies and drug dealing, according to a set of progressive policies made public Tuesday.

alvin-braggIn his first memo to staff on Monday, Alvin Bragg said his office “will not seek a carceral sentence” except with homicides and a handful of other cases, including domestic violence felonies, some sex crimes and public corruption.

“This rule may be excepted only in extraordinary circumstances based on a holistic
analysis of the facts, criminal history, victim’s input (particularly in cases of
violence or trauma), and any other information available,” the memo reads.

Assistant district attorneys must also now keep in mind the “impacts of incarceration,” including whether it really does increase public safety, potential future barriers to convicts involving housing and employment, the financial cost of prison and the racial disparities over who gets time, Bragg instructed.

In cases where prosecutors do seek to put a convict behind bars, the request can be for no more than 20 years for a determinate sentence, meaning one that can’t be reviewed or changed by a parole board.

This will result in an escalation of violence against women and minorities

Take away the punishment for giving a woman a broken arm or a black eye — then the violence-prone will take their actions to the next step. More women will end up in comas or the morgue.

Additionally, by removing the disincentive for stealing little items, do you think that the bigger items will be less appealing or do you think that the criminal will think “I got away with this, why not that?”

Harris County DA Kim Ogg released the illegal alien who fatally shot a Houston Police Sergeant

The Police Tribune reported in a 21 October 2020 article how Kim Ogg both released an illegal alien and returned his gun and ammunition before that illegal alien went on a murderous rampage.

OggAtLectern.jpgThe illegal alien accused of murdering Houston Police Sergeant Harold Preston and wounding a Houston police officer and a 14-year-old boy was a violent convicted felon who had been released from custody by the Harris County District Attorney just days before the deadly shooting.

Houston Police Officer’s Union (HPOU) attorney Mary Nan Huffman issued a scathing press release on Tuesday, blaming Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg for the 65-year-old police sergeant’s brutal murder.

Huffman, who is running to unseat Ogg in the upcoming election, said that Sgt. Preston’s death “was 100% preventable.”

The accused gunman, 51-year-old El Salvador national Elmer Manzano, is “a convicted felon with multiple prior assaults on his record,” and had been released from police custody by Ogg just days before the deadly attack, Huffman said.

“While Mr. Manzano pulled the trigger, Kim Ogg put the gun in his hands,” she declared. “Her actions were directly responsible for the death of HPD Sergeant Preston.”

Houston Police Officer Courtney Waller, a three-year veteran of the department, and Manzano’s 14-year-old son were also shot during the attack, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo told reporters during a press conference on Tuesday.

Officer Waller was also involved in another incident with Manzano on Oct. 18, the Houston Chronicle reported.

(Read more on the consequences for Monzano’s ex-wife at the Police Tribune)

In this case, a woman’s 14-year-old son was injured during the same incident where one policeman was killed and another injured

You cannot tell me that Manzano’s ex-wife left him without considering Manzano’s violent tendencies. Therefore, for Kim Ogg to return Manzano’s gun and ammunition (despite his violent and felonious history) defies logic (unless her logic aims to create more violence).

So much for gloom. Here are the comics that don’t run for office.

How does Marcy’s Law fit in to justice inequity for the Right? Also, when will 6 January protesters get Antifa treatment?


Rittenhouse prosecutor told police not to execute search warrant signed by judge to view Grosskreutz’s cell phone

The American Thinker commented on 5 November 2021 how the Kenosha County prosecutor did not execute a search warrant signed by a judge to search the phone of the man who pointed a gun in the face of Kyle Rittenhouse before Kyle defended himself by shooting this man in the arm.

On August 25, 2020, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, armed with an AR-15 and a medical kit, went to Kenosha, Wisconsin to offer first aid and protect businesses against looting and arson.  By evening’s end, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber were dead, and Gaige Grosskreutz had a hole in his arm.  Rittenhouse is now being tried for murder, although he claims — and video evidence and witness testimony confirm — he acted in self-defense.

The trial started this week, and it’s been sufficiently fascinating, thanks to mismanaged evidence (including FBI wrongdoing) and an incompetent prosecutor, to merit a short review.  These are some highlights.  Andrew Branca’s superb posts at Legal Insurrection have more details.

On Tuesday, assistant D.A. Thomas Binger committed a fundamental error: he misrepresented the evidence, almost all of which is captured on film.  Thus, he asserted that Kyle shot “unarmed” victims.  In fact, Grosskreutz was aiming a gun at Kyle when Kyle shot him; Huber was trying to beat Kyle to death, or decapitate him, with a skateboard; and Rosenbaum was trying to steal Kyle’s gun.

Also on Tuesday, news broke that the FBI had failed to share evidence with the defense and then “lost” some of that same evidence.  Although the testimony wasn’t televised, Branca writes:

I did learn later that apparently the FBI had possessed both the low resolution aerial video shared with prosecutors, and a high-definition version of the same video.  To the outrage of the defense, however, it was discovered today that the high resolution version of the video had been “lost” by the agency.

Reportedly even Judge Schroeder was left aghast at the possibility that the FBI had tossed away evidence relevant to a homicide case, but beyond that I don’t have any substantive knowledge of how all this played out.

Wednesday’s most interesting story also involved mishandled evidence.  Rittenhouse made available to the prosecution the contents of his cell phone.  He had nothing to hide.

Things were different went it came to Gaige Grosskreutz’s phone.  Grosskreutz was the man who simultaneously stuck a gun and his phone, with the camera working, into Kyle’s face when Kyle shot his arm.

Police investigators obtained a search warrant for Grosskreutz’s phone, which would certainly have contained material evidence.  Bizarrely, though, the police did not serve the warrant, did not seize his phone, and never tried to gain access to the contents.

The very young detective in charge of the case conceded that this was the only time in his experience at the Kenosha P.D. that the police did not serve a search warrant for a phone download.  The reason given was “Marcy’s Law,” which protects victims of crimes from invasive investigations.  So Grosskreutz, who stuck a gun in Kyle’s face, was framed as a “victim” from day one.  However, the detective admitted that, in his experience, the police had never before used Marcy’s Law to prevent a search warrant for cell phone evidence.  The police also didn’t record their interview with Grosskreutz, another anomaly in a department that recorded everyone’s interviews.

Why did the Kenosha prosecutor use Marcy’s Law to avoid collecting evidence?

Have liberal prosecutors made it a habit to use Marcy’s Law to avoid collecting evidence that would lead to the arrest of their witnesses? As PJ Media pointed out in a 15 November 2021 article, it was not Kyle Rittenhouse who illegally possessed a gun that night.

GaigeGrosskreutzInTweetByAndyNgoIt turns out that the only ones illegally possessing guns that night were Gaige Grosskreutz and Joshua Kiminski. But, of course, they’re not charged with those crimes. Just the kid is.

News outlets — looking at you, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and cronies — have continually asserted that Rittenhouse illegally brought a gun “over state lines” to Kenosha when he and friends were asked to guard a business during the third night of riots.

He was accused of bringing that gun to “hunt humans,” but that wasn’t true. The gun Rittenhouse used that night was stored at a friend’s dad’s house and locked in a gun safe in Kenosha until the 17-year-old used it that night.

(Read more at PJ Media)

Seems like this pretty much proves that the prosecutor did not do a review of the facts and determine who was innocent and who was guilty. Rather, he started from the viewpoint of finding a way to prove this kid guilty. Because this kid had been cleaning up graffiti in a minority community and was standing guard over a local business before he was attacked, I can’t say whether the prosecutor would have gone after other kids who had been doing similar things.

But, obviously, the prosecutor did not go after the felon adults.

For a number of years, accusations have been levelled at police for purportedly using this law to hide the identities of possibly errant police. In most states, that issue was addressed through a tightening of the wording in the law.

That type of attention needs to focus on the current inequity between the lax enforcement of the liberal side and the cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on many of the political right.

Meet Ray Epps: the Fed-protected provocateur who appears to have led the very first 6 January attack on the U.S. capitol

Revolver used a 25 October 2021 article to point out how the FBI seems to have insulated Ray Epps (a person who seems to be central to the 6 January 2021 riots).

In a House hearing on Thursday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned AG Merrick Garland about a mysterious man, Ray Epps, instructing protesters to enter the US Capitol building on January 5, and who later shepherded crowds towards the Capitol on January 6.

The story of the mystery man, Ray Epps, featured in Rep. Massie’s video above is in fact far more shocking than even the good Congressman implies in the hearing. It’s a story so strange, and so scandalous at every turn, that it threatens to shatter the entire official narrative of the “Capitol Breach” and expose yet another dimension of proactive federal involvement in the so-called “insurrection” of January 6th.

If Revolver News’s previous reporting points to a proactive role of the federal government in relation to the conspiracy cases against Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, the Ray Epps story that follows suggests a similar, yet more egregious, explicit, direct and immediate degree of federal involvement in the breach of the Capitol itself.

Here is a transcript of Thomas Massie’s exchange with the Attorney General, just in case you skipped past the video above.

Rep. Massie: As far as we can determine, the individual who was saying he’ll probably go to jail, he’ll probably be arrested, but they need to go into the Capitol the next day, is then directing people into the Capitol the next day, is then the next day directing people to the Capitol. And as far as we can find. You said this is one of the most sweeping in history. Have you seen that video, or those frames from that video?

AG Garland: So as I said at the outset, one of the norms of the Justice Department is to not comment on pending investigations, and particularly not to comment on particular scenes or particular individuals.

Rep. Massie: I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to put to rest the concerns that people have that there were federal agents or assets of the federal government present on January 5 and January 6. Can you tell us, without talking about particular incidents or particular videos, how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6, whether they agitated to go into the Capitol, and if any of them did?

AG Garland: So I’m not going to violate this norm of, uh, of, of, of, the rule of law.

[Looks down and away]

I’m not going to comment on an investigation that’s ongoing.

There is good reason why AG Garland ran from Massie’s question faster than he could find words — and why he couldn’t even keep eye contact as he was dodging Massie’s gaze.

After months of research, Revolver’s investigative reporting team can now reveal that Ray Epps appears to be among the primary orchestrators of the very first breach of the Capitol’s police barricades at 12:50pm on January 6. Epps appears to have led the “breach team” that committed the very first illegal acts on that fateful day. What’s more, Epps and his “breach team” did all their dirty work with 10 minutes still remaining in President Trump’s National Mall speech, and with the vast majority of Trump supporters still 30 minutes away from the Capitol.

Secondly, Revolver also determined, and will prove below, that the the FBI stealthily removed Ray Epps from its Capitol Violence Most Wanted List on July 1, just one day after Revolver exposed the inexplicable and puzzlesome FBI protection of known Epps associate and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. July 1 was also just one day after separate New York Times report amplified a glaring, falsifiable lie about Epps’s role in the events of January 6.

Lastly, Ray Epps appears to have worked alongside several individuals — many of them suspiciously unindicted — to carry out a breach of the police barricades that induced a subsequent flood of unsuspecting MAGA protesters to unwittingly trespass on Capitol restricted grounds and place themselves in legal jeopardy.

(Read the details on Ray Epps at Revolver)

I don’t know whether Epps and the other unindicted individuals were FBI informants or just recipients of mercy via Marcy’s Law

One thing is certain when you look at the way the FBI treated Epps (and other unindicted individuals who took part in the 6 January 2021 event). That one evident thing is that America certainly has two levels of justice.

This two-tiered justice system needs to end.

And you know what? Since this centers so much on the protest that sticks as a sore point to the sore winner (or, possibly, the touchy cheater) Democrats who cannot take protests (but love to dish it out across Kenosha, Portland, Seattle, and all sorts of other Democrat-controlled cities where they let Antifa run wild), Joe Biden needs to put this on his list of things to actually get accomplished.

If Dementia Joe is really an American and not a Chinese puppet, then he needs to step up and act like an American. He needs to work for justice.

 

When are we going to take back


1. Our equal representation before the law

Representative Massie questions Merrick Garland on 6 January FBI infiltrators

AZ Central reports Representative Massie’s use of a 6 January video during hearings with Merrick Garland.

One Arizona man who appeared prominently in videos from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — but has never been charged — returned to prominence this week when those videos were replayed in Congress. 

A video of Queen Creek resident Ray Epps was shown by U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky during a House oversight hearing where lawmakers questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland about the attack on the Capitol. 

Massie used the video as occasion to ask Garland not just about Epps, but about the belief that federal agents were present and agitating people before the riot.  

One video shows Epps telling people on Jan. 5 they need to go into the U.S. Capitol. Other video shows him directing them on Jan. 6 toward the historic building. 

Massie showed video and images of Epps during the hearing, then asked Garland, “as far as we can find, this individual has not been charged with anything. You said this is one of the most sweeping investigations in history.”

Garland responded that the U.S. Department of Justice does not comment on pending investigations, especially particular scenes or individuals. 

Massie persisted. 

“Can you tell us — without talking about particular incidents or particular videos — how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6? Whether they agitated to go into the Capitol and if any of them did?

“I’m not going to comment on an investigation that’s ongoing,” Garland responded.

I have posted recently on this issue; however, attention to this is only beginning

For over three years, we have endured burning of Democrat havens like Seattle, Detroit, Portland, and other liberal notables, but it obviously has not sunk into the collective psyche of the nation. Nobody notices.

Now, over the past few weeks, this blog and innumerable other conservative outlets look into the possible connections between Ray Epps and the FBI. This must have hit a liberal nerve, since The Hill is calling those who make note of this “right-wing conspiracy theorists.”

Have we been scammed? There seems to be odd connections between Ray Epps, the Oath Keepers, the FBI, and the 6 January protest

100 Percent Fed Up questions the identity of Ray Epps, the relation of the Oath Keepers to the FBI, and why Epps worked so hard to get people to go inside the Capitol on 6 January.

Speaking of scams…Who is Ray Epps? And why did he spend two days inciting Trump supporters to go inside the Capitol?

Here’s what we know.

Ray Epps was the president of the Oath Keepers in Arizona.

Mr. Epps worked alongside the Oath Keeper Founder and President Stewart Rhodes.

On Memorial Day 2011, Oath Keepers held a memorial service for a fallen member. Epps and Rhodes stood side-by-side for much of the memorial service.
https://twitter.com/SassyConservat1/status/1452771609140416522

Epps can be seen standing behind Stewart Rhodes while Taps is being played.
https://twitter.com/SassyConservat1/status/1452772549847355403

Since then, Epps has been relatively quiet but has recently been ID’d by Revolver News as one of the primary influencers in the January 6th “insurrection.”

The night before the “insurrection,” Epps appeared to be encouraging Trump supporters gathered near BLM Square in Washington DC to join him, as he announced that he planned to go “inside the Capitol.” Epps told an unidentified male (fed agent?) “In fact, tomorrow—I’m not even gonna say it because I might be arrested, but tomorrow—We need to go IN to the Capitol!” Trump supporters who could smell a rat shout, “Fed…Fed…Fed!”

On January 6th, Epps stood in front of a piece of heavy machinery, shouting at Trump supporters, “We are going to the Capitol, where our problems are,” he yelled. “It’s that direction!” he said, pointing. He encouraged the Trump supporters to tell everyone, “Please spread the word,” he implored.
https://twitter.com/SassyConservat1/status/1452774193452433420

As protesters first reach the Capitol, where Epps has been encouraging them to go for two days, they began to confront the scant number of police officers standing near low-security barriers. A young man wearing a black t-shirt and red MAGA cap can be seen engaging with police officers at the barriers. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Ray Epps appears and whispers in the ear of Ryan Samsel, a PA resident with an extensive violent criminal background. Epps seems to know to target Samsel, as he whispers in his ear. Almost immediately afterward, Samsel begins to push down the barriers, allowing protesters to run through the barriers and onto the Capitol grounds. Epps disappears.

Here’s Epps re-appearing with the protesters as they march toward the Capitol:

2. The protection of our children

A boy wearing a skirt rapes a girl and the boy gets protected due to it being “Pride month”

Townhall comments on the rapes committed by a boy wearing a skirt and protected by the school district by not initially reporting the first crime.

It’s no longer just conservative news outlets and local activists finally realizing they can no longer ignore the rape allegations that are haunting the Loudoun County School District. But, there are still some who haven’t woken up enough just yet, and then are gaslighting everybody else for it. 

Perhaps most disturbing of all is that this includes the commonwealth’s governor, Democrat Ralph Northam, who actually signed into law House Bill 257, which allows the school district to decide for itself if it’s going to alert law enforcement about misdemeanors, including sexual battery.

This revelation comes from reporting by Scott Taylor for 7 News, with the headline of “Gov. Ralph Northam silent as Virginia law on schools reporting crimes is under scrutiny.” Taylor tried to reach out to Gov. Northam for comment, but says he was turned away by Renzo Olivari, who works for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s campaign. 

According to Taylor:

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam signed the bill into law. In Arlington on Friday I-Team Investigative Reporter Scott Taylor attempted to ask Northam if he still thought the law was a great idea.

After the Governor answered two questions from other media outlets, Renzo Olivari, a member of former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe’s media team blocked 7 News from asking any questions.

“Awesome. Ok, thank you very much,” says Renzo Olivari with McAuliffe’s media team.

“Governor, I would like to ask you one question. I want to ask you about Loudon County why are you,” asked Scott Taylor.

“I got to get back,” said Governor Northam.

“Why are you not allowing us to ask a question? You deliberately didn’t allow 7 News to ask a question? Why is that?” asked Taylor to Oliviari.

A few moments later.

“Thanks, everybody. Thanks for coming,” says Olivari.

“You came over earlier and asked if I have questions. Can you explain why you ignored those questions?” asks Taylor.

“Thank you,” says Olivari.

Not deterred, Taylor says they reached out to governor’s office:

After the Governor didn’t answer our questions we reached out to the governor’s office asking the governor to answer the following questions:

  1. Last year you signed a bill into law that gave school officials the ability not to report misdemeanor sex crimes to law enforcement, which created less transparency for parents and students. In light of two recent alleged sex crimes by the same student in Loudon County Public Schools, can you explain to parents and students why you believe that law was a great idea?
  2. With that lack of transparency on a laundry list of crimes not having to be reported to law enforcement, why should parents believe schools are safe in Virginia?

HB 257 passed 46-44 in the House of Delegates, and 28-11 in the State Senate, with substitution

As Brett Hall reported in February 2020 for WAVY, another local outlet, “Republicans call on Gov. Northam to veto bill that would stop requiring schools to report misdemeanor crimes to police.” Hall noted in his reporting that the governor’s office did not respond with comment in time for the article’s publication.

Gov. Northam approved of the legislation on March 12, 2020. It went into effect on July 1, 2020.

Local parent, Scott Smith, is alleging that his ninth-grade daughter was raped in the bathroom by a biological boy wearing a skirt.

This is nothing but the reinstitution of Obama’s get-out-of-jail-free program 

This is nothing but a a transsexual twist on the reimplementation of Obama’s PROMISE program that resulted in the Parkland shootings. Bleeding heart liberals want to forgive criminals of things that do not happen to the liberals.

Additionally, in reference to the last quoted paragraph, two girls were violated by this boy wearing a skirt. First, Smith’s daughter was accosted in a bathroom. Then, after the school district tried to “handle the matter internally” by transferring the boy to another school, a girl was victimized in a classroom.

Loudoun County Schools tried to conceal multiple sexual assaults

The Daily Wire reviews how Loudoun County schools tried to conceal the sexual assault against Scott Smith’s daughter.

On June 22, Scott Smith was arrested at a Loudoun County, Virginia, school board meeting, a meeting that was ultimately deemed an “unlawful assembly” after many attendees vocally opposed a policy on transgender students.

What people did not know is that weeks prior on May 28, Smith says, a boy allegedly wearing a skirt entered a girls’ bathroom at nearby Stone Bridge High School, where he sexually assaulted Smith’s ninth-grade daughter. 

Juvenile records are sealed, but Smith’s attorney Elizabeth Lancaster told The Daily Wire that a boy was charged with two counts of forcible sodomy – one count of anal sodomy and one count of forcible fellatio – related to an incident that day at that school. 

As a result of the viral video showing his arrest, Smith became the poster child for what the National School Boards Association has since suggested could be a form of “domestic terrorism”: a white blue-collar male who showed up to harangue obscure public servants on his local school board.

“If someone would have sat and listened for thirty seconds to what Scott had to say, they would have been mortified and heartbroken,” Lancaster said.

Minutes before Smith’s arrest, the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) superintendent lectured the public that concerns about the transgender policy were misplaced because the school system had no record of any assault occurring in any school bathroom.

Then a woman wearing a rainbow heart shirt – a left-wing community activist – told Smith she did not believe his daughter, he says. His rage reached a boil and he had a heated exchange of words with the woman. A police officer, there to keep the peace in the meeting, pulled on his arm. Smith yanked it away. Before he knew it, Smith says, he was hit in the face, handcuffed, and dragged across the floor, with his pants pulled down. Images of the incident were splashed on televisions and newspapers across the world.

Buta Biberaj, the county’s progressive, top elected prosecutor, who has close ties to the school board’s most liberal members, appeared in court to personally prosecute Smith for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Biberaj ran on a platform of ending “mass incarceration,” but she wanted to put Smith in jail for the misdemeanors.

Just like Biden’s beach house wall, liberals want “the little people” to pay for their stupidity

President Obama was all too willing to let a repeat offender stay out of jail (who ended killing 17 and wounding 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School). That didn’t matter, since his daughters went to a private school and have a Secret Service protection detail.

Governor Northam obviously had no problem recycling transgender offenders back into the schools. However, again, he probably had no children in those schools that were not protected by armed guards.

High school girls exploited as they give lap dances to teachers and administrators

USA Today tells us of lap dances and inappropriate dress at a school event.

The superintendent of an Eastern Kentucky school district said “appropriate disciplinary action has been taken” after photos surfaced showing students giving lap dances to staff Tuesday as part of a high school’s homecoming week.

Sondra Combs, superintendent of Hazard Independent Schools, did not specify who had been punished.

“As it is a personnel matter, we are not allowed to disclose any further information regarding the specifics of the discipline,” her statement said.

Combs said students were behind the homecoming festivities that included a “man pageant” and led to photos of students giving lap dances in their undergarments being shared on social media.

The photos were initially posted to the “Hazard High School Athletics” Facebook page, but that post was later deleted. Among them was a photo showing a student dancing in front of the high school’s principal, Donald “Happy” Mobelini, who is also mayor of the Perry County city. Screenshots have continued to circulate on social media.

Other photos on the athletics page that also were taken down showed female students dressed in “Hooters” outfits and students and staff appearing to paddle one another.

Yes, sometimes children need protection both from themselves and those who would exploit them

Sometimes, as parents, it is our duty to protect our kids from outside predators. However, sometimes our children come under the sway of unsavory characters who have worked themselves into positions of authority. This is where we need to work and weed out the exploiters.

3. Our borders and jobs

Migrant caravan containing thousands travels through Mexico toward US border

Fox News reports on the thousands travelling through Mexico toward the U.S. border and the message they bring.

A massive migrant caravan organized via QR code left the town of Huehuetán in the south of Mexico Monday morning on the third day of their long trek toward the U.S. southern border.

The caravan, made up of mostly Central Americans, South Americans and Haitians, is the largest and most organized of its kind this year, with participants registering to join via QR code starting on Oct. 15.

“Tell Biden we are coming,” one migrant named William from El Salvador told Fox News.

Video footage captured by Fox News showed thousands of migrants, including small children being pushed in strollers, walking north about 20 miles north of Tapachula. One migrant carried a large wooden cross at the front of the caravan while others carried American flags and signs with President Biden’s name.

“President Biden, we need your help,” one migrant said.

Border Patrol arrests of criminal illegal immigrants skyrocket

Fox News tells us here how criminal illegal aliens have been arrested.

Border Patrol agents in the Laredo Sector in Texas have seen arrests of criminal illegal immigrants skyrocket this fiscal year, as agents at the border continue to deal with an overwhelming migration crisis — which includes gang members and sex offenders trying to make their way into the U.S.

In a release, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said that since the beginning of the fiscal year in October, nearly 760 criminal illegal immigrants have been arrested by Laredo Sector agents, compared to more than 60 arrests in the same time last year. That is an increase of approximately 1,166%.

It comes as part of an aggressive spike in migrant encounters at the border, with 178,000 migrants encountered in April alone, an increase from the already high 172,000 encountered in March. While many of those are single adults being removed by the Title 42 public health protections, agents have previously estimated there have been up to 1,000 “gotaways” getting past agents every day.

Sources have told Fox that smugglers will dump children in one part of the border so that adults can get in in another part of the border — something through uncompleted border wall — as overwhelmed agents attend to the children.

CBP announced the surge in criminal arrests in Laredo in a release announcing that agents had apprehended a 20-year old Mexican national who was a member of the Sureno Gang, and had a criminal history including robbery, battery and theft of property. Agents across the border have encountered gang members from a number of gangs, including MS-13.

Add to this, Biden wants to pay “reparations” to those who broke into our country illegally and were punished

Biden wants to pay “reparations” to those who broke our immigration laws and then (usually by breaking yet another law) were caught and deported. However, he doesn’t want to pay them $100,000 (the amount paid to the spouse and children of a soldier or sailor who died in service to our country). Biden doesn’t want to give them the equivalent of 40 acres and a mule (the promise made to former slaves). No, Biden wants to pay these people who broke our laws $450,000.00.

The development of American indifference


Passengers held up phones during Philadelphia train rape

The New York Post reports on an inhumane act that occurred in another Democrat haven.

The passengers who did nothing while a homeless man raped a woman on a commuter train outside Philadelphia may have also recorded the vile attack on their cellphones instead of calling for help, authorities said.

FistonNgoySurveillance footage showed Fiston Ngoy, 35, who has been charged with rape in Wednesday’s sickening attack aboard a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority train, spent nearly 45 minutes harassing the woman and touched her breast at one point, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Police said the rape lasted about six minutes as other passengers looked on while holding their cellphones, but didn’t use the devices to call 911, SEPTA’s police chief said Monday.

“We want everyone to be angry, disgusted and to join us in being resolute in keeping our system safe,” Chief Thomas Nestel III told reporters. “We need the public to notify us when they see something that seems to be unusual.”

The woman had tried to stop Ngoy prior to the sexual assault, a SEPTA spokesman told the New York Times.

In response to those who counter reports of course interactions in liberal areas by pointing to President Trump, we could bounce back and forth for years

The problem did not start with Trump and the then-10-year-old tape of his dressing room banter. It didn’t start with Johnson and his many tasteless sayings.

A girl was raped by a boy wearing a skirt. Then, a school administrator hid the facts from the public and painted the father as a “CRT-enraged” parent

Fox News discusses the set of events behind a father who got arrested at a Loudon County School board meeting.

ScottSmithA parent who was arrested during a June school board meeting in Loudoun County, Virginia, is accusing the district of trying to cover up an alleged bathroom sexual assault by a gender-fluid individual against his daughter in order to further its transgender rights agenda. 

Scott Smith was found guilty of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in August after he was filmed being dragged by police from the Loudoun County School Board meeting on June 22. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail, all suspended, contingent on a year of good behavior, Loudoun Now reported at the time.

Smith’s image went viral among left-wingers as an example of parents run amok, and the National School Boards Association cited his arrest in a letter last week requesting the Department of Justice to provide federal law enforcement to respond to an increase in violence against school officials across the country. Attorney General Merrick Garland later pledged to have the Department of Justice and the FBI investigate harassment of school board members.

Now, Smith says there’s much more to his story, telling The Daily Wire that his behavior at the June 22 meeting stemmed from an incident weeks earlier at his ninth-grade daughter’s school, Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, in which he said a boy wearing a skirt entered the girls’ bathroom and assaulted his daughter on May 28.

“We can confirm a May 28, 2021 case that involved a thorough 2-month-long investigation that was conducted to determine the facts of the case prior to arrest,” the sheriff’s office told Fox News. “This case is still pending court proceedings. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is not able to provide any documents that pertain to a pending case.” The sheriff’s office confirmed that the case involved sexual assault. 

All juvenile records are sealed, but Smith’s attorney Elizabeth Lancaster told The Daily Wire that the boy was subsequently charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio.

In response to a public records request by The Daily Wire, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that a May 28 report with “Offense: Forcible Sodomy [and] Sexual Battery” at Stone Bridge High School does exist.

The suspect was arrested two months later following an investigation by the sheriff’s office.  

Minutes before Smith’s arrest at the June 22 board meeting, Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) Superintendent Scott Ziegler declared that “the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist,” and that to his knowledge, “we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms,” The Daily Wire reported.

The same people that send a father to jail for questioning a school administration over the rape of his daughter will LIKEWISE video the rape of a woman on a train

The people too frightened to step up and help a woman because they fear reprisal will also fear other attack. They will hold back for fear of being part of another story the press will either never report on or will distort beyond recognition. They will more so be intimidated on a number of other fronts.

We have become a nation of mice.



 

Open Letter To The Black Community – Part 1


BishopEWJackson

From the desk of Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr.

Dear Fellow Americans (of African descent):

I write to you with great concern for the future of our country and the black community. Like most Americans, I too am angry over the killing of George Floyd. His death was a monstrous act, and former police officer Derek Chauvin deserves to have the full weight of the law brought against him. If the video we witnessed is accurate, Mr. Chauvin must be imprisoned for a long time.

However, my sadness reaches well beyond this single tragedy. The riots, looting and violence which have occurred in cities across the country will not reform, heal, unify or improve the lives and safety of black Americans. In fact, these actions are radically regressive and self-destructive.

Black businesses are burned down, the owners are assaulted and essential grocery stores and pharmacies are destroyed. Cops and innocent bystanders are victimized and killed. The irony is that the victims are primarily those for whom the rioters claim to be seeking justice. History teaches us that communities wracked by riots and looting do not recover easily, if at all. They tend to become more impoverished and dangerous than they were before the upheaval.

The Proverb says, “where there is no vision, the people perish.” The last time curfews were necessary to quell violence across the country was fifty-two years ago in 1968. A half a century later, we face the same destructive reaction to racial grievance. It will not lead to one black child getting a better education. Not one black worker will get a better job, and not one inner city family will live in a safer community. If police departments are defunded, as Black Lives Matter is demanding, look for an outbreak of crime and violence in the inner city like nothing we have ever witnessed before.

The purpose of peaceful protests should be to secure a better life for those trapped by inner-city violence, drugs, gangs, and lack of educational and economic opportunity. If we are having the same violent protests over the same issues with the same negative consequences as 50 years ago, something is wrong with our approach.

There is a way out of this vicious cycle, but it is hard medicine. Black citizens must stop voting for a political party that espouses nothing more than racial demagoguery. Al Sharpton, a proven charlatan with zero credibility, is trotted out to speak for the victims. No solutions are offered and no long term progress is ever made. Social and racial justice are popular slogans, but they are not a strategy for improving the lives of people.

Education has been used to uplift every demographic group that has come to America. However, inner city children whose ancestors are among the earliest to arrive on this continent, are trapped in failing schools. Educational choice offers a real solution, but black Democratic politicians block it at every turn. They send their children to the finest schools available while leaving the children of their constituents trapped in dead-end institutions.

Their betrayal doesn’t end with education. These black politicians go to church every Sunday, and some of them are pastors. Yet they disregard the sin of abortion and its impact on the black community. Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger was a rabid racist who admired Adolph Hitler and consorted with the Ku Klux Klan. She would have liked to exterminate black people, but satisfied herself with suppressing the growth of the black population through abortion. When eugenics proved unmarketable, she changed her brand to “planned parenthood” which sounds benign unless you know the truth. With the full cooperation of many black leaders, Sanger’s genocide against the black community continues to this day.

Finally, the single greatest social problem facing the black community is the destruction of the nuclear family. The out-of-wedlock birth rate has exploded to 72%. In some cities such as Richmond, Virginia it is 80%. The young men, born to single mothers, unwanted by their fathers, grow up with anger and abandonment issues. Desperately wanting to be wanted, they are easy recruits into a brotherhood of gangs, crime and violence. The streets are an outlet for their anger.

Leftists complain that the criminal justice system tracks young black men from the school house to the jail house. But the “progressive” welfare policies of the Democrat Party put them on that track. Instead of encouraging stable, two-parent families, they incentivize single, female-headed households. They’ve been doing this since the 1960s, with horrific results.

Where is the plan for reversing the crisis of these communities? Where is the vision for a better future? Democratic leaders have led the black community to the brink of destruction with no hope for a better life. The black Democrat elites on the other hand experience the best America has to offer while leaving their fellow black citizens utterly hopeless.

Living posh lives, these so called black leaders and their white leftist counterparts tell black voters to hate and fear Donald Trump because he is their problem. He is the enemy. His rhetoric does at times make it easy for them to mischaracterize him. Nevertheless, Donald Trump has accomplished some remarkable things to benefit the black community. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) have faced financial hardship for decades, and he is the first president to provide a permanent funding solution.

He established Opportunity Zones for the inner cities to help spur economic development. He presided over an economy that saw the lowest unemployment rates ever for black and Hispanic Americans. He shepherded the Criminal Justice Reform Bill through Congress, correcting the legacy of the Clinton era overreaction to the crack cocaine epidemic.

President Trump is actually doing something about the problems the black community faces while Democrats do nothing.

Democrats hope that if they can keep black voters fixated on hating Donald Trump and the boogey man of racism, they won’t notice that the leaders they elected and the party they support are doing nothing. The voters won’t notice that over 7000 young black people die in inner city violence every year. They won’t notice the failing schools or the dropout rates. They won’t notice the the continuing decimation of the nuclear family, once the bedrock of the black community. The black Democrat politicians do not want black voters to notice that they are enriching themselves with blood money from Planned Parenthood. That organization kills around 400,000 black babies every year. The black population would be double what it is today were it not for the abortion industry and the Democrats they pay to keep quiet about the genocide.

It is time for black citizens to turn away from such corrupt leaders. It is time to denounce the rioting, violence and the anti-Christian philosophy of the Democratic Party which is only destroying black people.

We must come together with other citizens around a vision for the future of our community and our country that is rooted and grounded in faith. We’ve come this far by faith, but Democrats would have us burn the bridge that brought us over. That is suicide.

As America goes, so goes the black community. Black veterans fought under the same American Flag and took the same oath to the Constitution. While they did not always receive the respect and gratitude they were due, it is nonetheless true that no people of African heritage anywhere on earth are more free or better off than we who are blessed to be Americans. America is still the last best hope for all of us, regardless of race.

We cannot change the past. However, we can change the future. It is time to come together across all racial and cultural lines to renew the American vision of “one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” It is within our grasp if we do not allow the radical elements among us to destroy it forever. We are at the precipice. There are those who would like to push us over the cliff into chaos. They think they will be there to pick up the pieces and create a socialist utopia, but history proves it will be a totalitarian nightmare.

Let us, as free black Americans, pull back from the precipice, push back against the anarchists and embrace the legacy of freedom, justice and hope for ourselves and the generations to follow.

Restoring America’s Vision,
