In win for Paxton, court declares $1.7 trillion federal omnibus was passed unconstitutionally   By Ben Whedon

“Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi abused proxy voting under the pretext of COVID-19 to pass this law, then Biden signed it, knowing they violated the Constitution. This was a stunning violation of the rule of law. I am relieved the Court upheld the Constitution,” Paxton said.

February 27, 2024 8:12pm – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday secured a major victory in his challenge to the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package passed in 2022, with a court declaring that the bill was approved unconstitutionally.

President Joe Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 in December of the prior year. The measure effectively set the federal budget for the year by wrapping the 12 annual appropriations bills into a single piece of legislation. Paxton, however, had argued that the House’s passage of the measure was unconstitutional as less than half of the lower chamber’s members were physically present to vote on it. Many lawmakers who were not present voted by proxy. Paxton had specifically challenged stipulations in the bill that affect his state.

“Like many constitutional challenges, Texas asserts that this provision is unenforceable against it because Congress violated the Constitution in passing the law. In response, the defendants claim, among other things, that this Court has no power to address the issue because it cannot look to extrinsic evidence to question whether a bill became law,” the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Lubbock Division wrote. “But because the Court is interpreting and enforcing the Constitution—rather than second-guessing a vote count—the Court disagrees. The Court concludes that, by including members who were indisputably absent in the quorum count, the Act at issue passed in violation of the Constitution’s Quorum Clause.”

Quorum Clause opinion

Article I, Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution states:

Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.

Paxton, for his part, celebrated the decision, saying that “Congress acted egregiously by passing the largest spending bill in U.S. history with fewer than half the members of the House bothering to do their jobs, show up, and vote in person.”

“Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi abused proxy voting under the pretext of COVID-19 to pass this law, then Biden signed it, knowing they violated the Constitution. This was a stunning violation of the rule of law. I am relieved the Court upheld the Constitution,” he concluded.

“We Are Once Again Watching the Lights of Freedom. They Are Going Out Here and All Over the World” – Lara Logan Testifies Against the Abuse of Power by Google, Facebook, Instagram Against the American People  (VIDEO)   By Jim Hoft

Feb. 27, 2024 8:30 am – Award-winning investigative journalist Lara Logan testified at the US Senate roundtable on Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel, on February 26, 2024. The roundtable was sponsored and led by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI).

Lara Logan was asked to speak on media censorship during the COVID pandemic.

Logan delivered a brilliant testimony on the absolute power today of Facebook, Instagram and Google and their dangerous monopoly on information and how Stalin, Lenin, Mao, and Hitler would have relished the chance to hold such power over the masses.

Lara Logan: Companies like Facebook, Instagram, and Google, as you have heard many times today, have been allowed to amass monopoly power. And as a result, they not only reach billions of people across the world every second of the day, they have absolute control over what we see and what we hear. Imagine those tools in the hands of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler.

When I became a journalist more than 35 years ago, we were under emergency restrictions in apartheid South Africa, and I was 17 years old. Public safety and security were the weapons of state censors. Ours was the truth. We had no Bill of Rights, no Constitution, no First Amendment, no Declaration of Independence. And journalists would have to hide their footage from the security police, sometimes sewing the tapes into their mattresses at home so they could not be seized and used to identify and target the protesters that we’d filmed. The light of freedom that set fire to our hearts in South Africa was lit thousands of miles away. It was lit right here where we sit today in the United States of America.

When the founding fathers put Freedom of Speech first, it was not by chance. It was by design. The rights that followed were, in part created to protect the First Amendment. Without it, they knew that freedom itself would perish. I am reminded today of the words spoken by the British foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, in 1914, at the beginning of the First World War.

He said, the lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.

We are once again watching the lights of freedom. They’re going out here and all over the world, and it is up to us to determine if they will be lit again, ever.

 

Brazil’s Lula Doubles Down in ‘Genocide’ Comments About Israel – Former Israeli PM Bennett Calls Him ‘An Idiot’ on TV – Domestic Criticism Grows With Impeachment Request   By Paul Serran

Feb. 27, 2024 11:20 am – Speaking in a controlled environment for a few dozen militants, in an aggressive tone, and with bloodshot eyes, Brazilian President Lula da Silva doubled down on his statements over the war between Israel and Palestine that has sparked a grave diplomatic rift between the countries,

“‘If This Isn’t Genocide, I Don’t Know What Is,’ Says Lula of Israeli Attack on Gaza.

‘What the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinian people is not war,’ said the President of Brazil. ‘It’s not soldiers who are dying, but women and children who are dying inside the hospitals’.”

In fact, the Brazilian Government does not intend to retract President Luiz Inacio da Silva’s comment comparing Israel’s war on Gaza to Hitler’s treatment of Jews.

Reuters reported:

“Brazil’s foreign ministry has already summoned the Israeli ambassador for talks and recalled its own ambassador to Israel after Israeli officials gave him a formal reprimand following Lula’s comment.

‘What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people has no parallel in other historical moments’,” Brazil’s president said.

‘In fact, it did exist when Hitler decided to kill the Jews’, said Lula during a weekend African Union summit in Addis Ababa, referring to Nazi war crimes during World War Two.”

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz immediately announced that Lula is not welcome until he takes back his comments.

“‘We will not forget nor forgive. It is a serious anti-Semitic attack. In my name and the name of the citizens of Israel – tell President Lula that he is persona non grata in Israel until he takes it back’, Katz told Brazil’s ambassador, according to a statement from Katz’s office.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded harshly to Lula’s previous comments, saying: “The words of the President of Brazil are shameful and alarming. This is a trivialization of the Holocaust and an attempt to harm the Jewish people and Israel’s right to defend itself.

 

‘Total Betrayal’: GOP Slams Biden Admin Bid To Force Ceasefire on Israel   Adam Kredo

Biden uses UN and hostage negotiations to push ceasefire

February 26, 2024 – The Biden administration’s efforts to impose a ceasefire on Israel is a “total betrayal” of the United States’ closest Middle East ally and will allow the Hamas terrorist group to restock arms for a renewed siege on the Jewish state, GOP lawmakers told the Washington Free Beacon.

“The Biden administration’s call for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza is a total betrayal of our ally, Israel, and a gift to Hamas terrorists,” House majority whip Tom Emmer (R., Minn.) told the Free Beacon following reports the Biden administration will use its power on the United Nations Security Council to force a stop to the war and prevent Israel from expanding its operation into the Gaza Strip’s Rafah city, a Hamas stronghold. The United States is also spearheading a hostage agreement between Israel and Hamas that would implement a temporary ceasefire and see Israel release scores of Palestinian terrorists in exchange for around 35 to 40 hostages.

“While Joe Biden and the Democrats continue to cave to the anti-Israel agenda being pushed by the radicals in their party, House Republicans’ support for Israel and their right to defend themselves remains undeterred,” Emmer said, echoing the comments of other congressional Republicans who spoke to the Free Beacon.

The comments come as the Biden administration walks back its initial full-throated support for Israel’s effort to eradicate Hamas in the wake of the Oct. 7 terror attacks that killed more than 1,200. The White House and Republicans in Congress were mostly on the same page about Israel’s war until recently, as the Biden administration caves to far-left anti-Israel voices in the Democratic Party who are leaning on it to more aggressively police the Jewish state’s war effort.

How the Border Crisis Hit a Small Wisconsin Town   Joseph Simonson

‘You have to have blinders on to not see that there have been problems’

February 27, 2024 – WHITEWATER, Wis.—The migrants began to trickle into Whitewater, a sleepy town of 15,000 an hour west of Milwaukee, toward the end of 2021.

Prior to their arrival, local news and political debates generally revolved around school fundraisers or the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s D3 athletics. Today, residents are focused on their 1,000 new neighbors, who mostly hail from Nicaragua and Venezuela and largely keep to the shadows because they lack official identification. Locals say the real number of migrants in the town could easily be double the number reflected in the police department’s official statistics.

As the migrant crises in big cities like Chicago and New York receive national media attention, Whitewater residents can only laugh.

Greater Whitewater Committee president Jeffrey Knight is quick to point out that migrants have caused New York’s population to grow by 2 percent, while Whitewater’s population has grown by almost 10 percent in two years, almost entirely due to the southern border crisis. That would translate into more than 1.5 million new arrivals in New York.

“I don’t have a problem with immigration,” Knight told the Washington Free Beacon. “The concern is about resources.”

Like Knight, all Whitewater residents who spoke to the Free Beacon prided themselves on their hospitality and did not express prejudice toward the town’s growing foreign population. But those who live here say they feel the strain migration has placed on their town: schools rushing to hire English as a second language (ESL) teachers, emergency services overwhelmed with unintelligible calls reporting domestic violence, and health providers faced with a flurry of uninsured patients.

Responding to the influx of migrants has put the town in a $400,000 budget hole, a town official speaking on condition of anonymity told the Free Beacon.

“I haven’t seen anyone who isn’t welcoming, but you have to have blinders on to not see that there have been problems,” said Michael Smith, who has lived in Whitewater for more than a decade. “Everything is relatively overwhelmed right now.”

 

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

Feb. 26, 2024 10:00 pm – It has been widely reported that the U.S. Military is struggling to recruit across pretty much all branches. Lots of reasons have been offered to explain this, including the military’s embrace of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

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

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

The Washington Times reports:

Why would young Americans defend a nation that needs to be ‘dismantled’?  [Emphasis added]

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

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

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

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

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

 

City of Denver Cutting Employee Hours to Zero in Order to Keep Paying for Services for Illegal Border Crossers   By Mike Lachance

Feb. 27, 2024 6:45 am – The city of Denver has been struggling for weeks now to pay for services for illegal border crossers. Early in February it was announced that the city would start cutting some services for taxpayers, and unsuccessfully tried to blame Republicans.

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

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

 

UK Politician: ‘Islamic supremacists, the extremists and the antisemites are in charge now.   By Paul Schnee

February 26, 2024 – What is happening in not so Merrie Olde England, as described in Robert Spencer’s article below, has already started in America which is to say that our government is failing to protect our own citizens from the predictable and outrageous violence of the votaries of resurgent Islam in the form of Hamas supporters in this particular instance.

What should our government be doing?

Anyone who is here on any kind of visa and who is a Hamas supporter should have that visa cancelled and be deported immediately.

Anyone who is a naturalized citizen who supports Hamas should have their citizenship revoked and be deported immediately.

Anyone who is U.S. citizen who supports Hamas should be charged with supporting an internationally designated terrorist organization that seeks America’s ruin. They should be arrested, tried and serve a long custodial sentence if convicted.

It is literally suicidal for us to permit people who are actively chanting: “Intifada! Intifada!”, which really means violence and death towards every American, to roam freely in our streets so Jobama can be sure the jihadi community in Michigan and elsewhere will vote for him.

This cynical political calculation should be enough to demonstrate that the Democrats and the Leftocracy only care about permanent political power and not about the safety of the American public.

It should now be even more obvious that their often repeated claim that they are the ones trying to save our democracy has an alarmingly hollow ring to it. Sooner or later out pops the cloven hoof as we have witnessed with their failure to act against Hamas in our streets.

What is staring us straight in the face is nothing less than pure, unadulterated evil. If we are to survive and prosper it must be confronted with overwhelming force not with tolerance and certainly not with an entirely misplaced tolerance due to the election prospects of Jobama. “Tolerance”, wrote Thomas Mann, “becomes a crime when applied to evil”. This is something which the Biden Administration and the British government have yet to understand. Pending such an understanding our countries and our lives are in lethal jeopardy.

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

Feb. 26, 2024 12:26 pm – With each passing day, the great European Farmers Revolt gets bigger, louder, and… well, more foul smelling.

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

Bloomberg reported:

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

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

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

 

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

Feb. 26, 2024 3:40 pm – The Biden regime’s collusion with corrupt Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis runs even deeper than believed, with an experienced Democrat operative reportedly serving as the “brainchild” behind it.

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

Feb. 26, 2024 4:20 pm – *Biden’s revenge*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

Feb. 26, 2024 5:00 pm – James O’Keefe released new footage on Monday after chasing down an IRS Official who told his undercover journalist that the IRS is spying on Americans and it’s likely unconstitutional.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Feb. 26, 2024 5:20 pm – On Sunday, The New York Times published a rare US admission that US intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine’s wartime decision-making but has established and financed high-tech command-and-control spy centers and was doing so long prior to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of two years ago.

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

Russian Website Claims There Was an Attempted Assassination of Tucker Carlson—Here Are the Details   By Patty Mcmurray

Feb. 26, 2024 2:30 pm – A young man has reportedly just been arrested in Moscow in connection with an attempted assassination of Tucker Carlson. According to reporter Simon Ateba, the man who has been arrested was reportedly being paid by Ukrainian intelligence to plant an explosive device in a vehicle used by Tucker while he was there to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Here is the tweet by Simon Ateba, the chief White House Correspondent at Today News Africa in Washington.

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

The original report was published at mvlehti.net.

The report has not been verified at this time.

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

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

CPAC: Peter Navarro Shares Last Words Before Heading To Prison “If We Lose, We Will Surely Lose this Country”   (Video 7:09)   By Margaret Flavin

Feb. 26, 2024 1:00 pm – The Gateway Pundit reported back in early February that a federal judge denied former Trump aide Dr. Peter Navarro’s request to stay out of prison pending a decision from the appellate court.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now here’s the deal. Listen carefully.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It means action, action, action.

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

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

[Ed.:  That we will lose the 2024 election is a foregone conclusion.  It’s not ‘if’…  We have already lost this country.]

 

Biden regime restores policy Trump rescinded, claiming Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria are ‘illegitimate’   BY ROBERT SPENCER

FEB 25, 2024 1:00 PM – Why has this policy been restored? Because Rashida Tlaib and Nihad Awad, among others, have threatened that Biden will get no Muslim votes in November unless he betrays Israel.

The West Bank is the name that Jordan gave in 1950 to the land that had been known as Judea and Samaria from time immemorial. Knowing that we are discussing Jews living in Judea puts the issue of “settlements” in a very different light from how Blinken and the establishment media cast the issue.

“Biden administration restores Trump-rescinded policy on illegitimacy of Israeli settlements,” by Matthew Lee, Associated Press, February 23, 2024:

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

Feb. 26, 2024 9:00 am – Ukrainian intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov disappointed Western journalists on Monday who asked him about Russian dissident Alexei Navalny’s death in prison in Siberia. Budanov confirmed the Kremlin’s claims that Navalny died of a blood clot. Navalny was not murdered.

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

Here is another angle of Budanov speaking with reporters about Navalny.  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We are losing America to these heartless tyrants. [Emphasis added]

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

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

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

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

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

He needs to be taught a lesson.

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

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

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

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

Please pray for the Kuehne family. And help out if you can. Thank you!

 

Doctors Confirm Vaccine Connection after Young Ontario Woman Paralyzed after Moderna Shot – Then Offer Her Euthanasia as Remedy   (VIDEO)   By Jim Hft

Feb. 26, 2024 7:45 am – A young mother’s life has been turned upside down in the wake of receiving her Moderna COVID-19 booster shot, which has left her paralyzed from the neck down, The Canadian Independent reported.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

MAGA: Make Argentina Great Again – Buenos Aries Press Publishes Favorable Report on President Milei’s Meeting with President Trump at CPAC 2024   [4:14]   By Jim Hoft

Feb. 26, 2024 7:30 am – In case you missed it… Argentina President Javiar Milei “The Lion” spoke at CPAC on Saturday. And then he met President Trump backstage before the former US President’s speech to the conservative conference.

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

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

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

Milei was filled with joy and energy.

His speech later was spectacular.

 

North Carolina County Bans Fluoride After Resident Points to Study that Shows Pregnant Women Who Drank High Levels of Fluoride Resulted in Lower IQ in Children    By Anthony Scott

Feb. 25, 2024 8:20 pm – A North Carolina County has banned fluoride from being used in the county’s water supply.

Union County commissioners in a 3-2 voted to stop using fluoride in its water supply after residents were concerned about its possible side effects on children.

Before the Union County commissioners voted, several community members gave their thoughts on fluoride being used in the water supply.

Dr. Meg Lochary favored fluoride remaining in the water supply and argued that the chemical reduces tooth decay for those who rarely see a dentist.

Leader of the Union County Chapter of Moms for Liberty, Abigal Prado, had a different take and stated: “Millions of pregnant women are currently being exposed to levels of fluoride that have the potential to lower their children’s IQ by at least four to six points.”

Prado added, “The loss of a single IQ point translates into a 2% reduction in lifetime economic productivity.”

The Moms of Liberty chapter leader referenced a 2019 study published in JAMA Pediatrics that revealed:  “Fluoride exposure during pregnancy may be associated with adverse effects on child intellectual development, indicating the possible need to reduce fluoride intake during pregnancy.”

BRAZIL AWAKENS: Hundreds of Thousands Congregate in São Paulo’s Streets To Join Bolsonaro in Largest Protest Since Elections   (VIDEOS)   By Paul Serran

Feb. 25, 2024 3:40 pm – While Brazilian socialist President Lula da Silva is under significant pressure after calling Israelis genocidal Nazis, he is still the MSM’s darling, while the hugely popular former President Jair Bolsonaro is given a sub-standard treatment.

It is indeed significant that the half-baked Reuters report does not feature a single picture of the MASSIVE rally, but rather is illustrated by a picture of Bolsonaro leaving Federal Police headquarters after they took his passport.

“Supporters of Jair Bolsonaro gathered on Sunday on Sao Paulo’s iconic Paulista Avenue to show support for the former far-right Brazilian president as he finds himself embroiled in several investigations that many believe could land him in jail.”

Look how they quickly skip from the rally to his legal troubles.

What they don’t want you to see is this  

Targeted by non-stop harassment by Lula’s lackluster government, Bolsonaro called his followers to rally.

He said it’s a ‘peaceful gathering in favor of the rule of law and our freedom, families and future’.

And Brazilians responded en masse.

[Ed.:  Over 95% of Brazil’s population voted to re-elect President Jair Bolsonaro in the last election.  But, despite this, the corrupt socialist Lula da Silva stole the election!  Imagine that!  This happened exactly the same way that Donald Trump won the election in the United States in 2020, but somehow, the election was stolen, and Joe Biden became President.  The U.S. State Department actually sent personnel to Brazil and rigged it so that after Bolsonaro won by more that 95% of the voters, the corrupt deep state literally stole the election, and Lula became the President instead of Bolsonaro.  The US State Department is one of the most evil institutions in the world. They control the United States of America, and they will steal the 2024 election from us and President Trump again, easily.

People from the Northern part of Brazil flew down to Sao Paulo to attend this event, but when they arrived, Lula’s corrupt police took their IDs and did not permit them to go to the rally. So, there would have been a lot more people there, than the hordes of people, 500,000 who did get there.

How do I know all of this if it wasn’t in the news?  You may attribute it to what they call ‘Jewish Intelligence’.  Jewish Intelligence is something the US has relied on up till now, but is available to them no longer!  So, without it, they will be operating ‘blind’ in their stupidity, a ship without a rudder, under evil control, facilitating our inevitable demise.]

 

Banks will ‘tokenize’ customer deposits to pave way for CBDCs   [10:52]   LEO HOHMANN

Digital tokenization explained in simple, plain English

FEB 25, 2024 – Christine LeGarde, a globalist French politician who has been president of the European Central Bank since 2019, has recently announced that the European Union is getting closer to launching its new central bank digital currency.

Once this happens, you can bet the U.S. Federal Reserve will feel more pressure to launch its CBDC.

LeGarde, using classic political posturing, speaks out of both sides of her mouth. On the one side, she promises the new digital euro will be purely voluntary and that paper cash will always be an available option. On the other, she says that she has no real control over the details of the new digital currency because that will be left up to E.U. legislators.

Watch this report from CPA Lena Petrova, who says banks will tokenize customer deposits before they roll out their CBDCs.

Letitia James Posting Daily Score of Massive Added Interest on Trump Fine: “+$114,553.04 = $464,805,336.70”   By Kristinn Taylor

Feb. 25, 2024 12:20 pm – New York state Attorney General Letitia James (D) is posting a daily score of the added interest in the fine imposed on President Trump by Judge Engoron in the judgment in the civil case accusing Trump of inflating property values. Trump denies the charges. Lenders to Trump have not claimed fraud against him and have testified they were paid back in full and would gladly do business with Trump again.

In addition to barring Trump from doing business in New York for three years, the fine imposed by Engoron on February 16 in the non-jury trial case is about $355,000,000, however interest has pushed the amount to over $454,000,000 according to on entry by the clerk of the court on Friday (excerpt from ABC News):

The clerk for New York County’s Supreme Court signed and entered the judgment order Friday in former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, in which he owes $355 million in fines plus approximately $100 million in interest.

Shortly after, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a notice of entry in the case, which started the clock on Trump’s financial penalties in the case, which come to $454,156,783 in disgorgement and pre-judgment interest.

Trump now has 30 days to appeal the case to New York’s Appellate Division, First Department. In order to stay the execution of the fine in the case, the former president needs to post a bond or put cash into an escrow account to cover the fines plus interest, according to James.

…Until he places the full amount of the fine into an escrow account, Trump will owe 9% interest on the full judgment, or over $3 million per month.

A timeline of the case from last year can be read at this link.

Starting on Friday after she filed the notice of entry for the accumulated $454 million fine and interest, James has posted a daily tabulation.

 

Stephen Miller at CPAC: How Mass Deportations of Illegals Will Work “Seal the Border, Deport all the Illegals”  (Video)   By Margaret Flavin

Feb. 25, 2024 10:20 am – During a roundtable at CPAC with Texas AG Ken Paxton, Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), Mike Davis, top Trump aide Stephen Miller shared how mass deportations of illegals will work once President Trump is back in the White House.

Stephen Miller: The immigration issue is extremely simple.  The policies involved in fixing it are very complicated. The simple part is: seal the border, deport all the illegals. That’s the short answer.

You get in, you have two policy objectives that you proceed with utter determination on. Seal the border.  No illegals in, everyone here goes out. That’s very straightforward.

In terms of the policy sets to accomplish this, as President Trump showed in his first term, it’s a series of interlocking domestic and foreign policies to accomplish this goal.

In no particular order to rattle off a few fast, you have your Safe Third Agreements, Remain in Mexico, finish the wall, you have robust prosecutions of illegal aliens.

You do interior repatriation flights to Mexico and not back to the north of Mexico, very important.

You reimplement Title 42, you have several muscular 212(f)s, that’s the travel ban authority.  We did a few of those in the Trump Administration, you would bring those back and add new ones on top of that.

You would establish large-scale staging grounds for removal flights so you grab illegal immigrants and then you move them to the staging grounds and that’s where the planes are waiting for federal law enforcement to then move those illegals home.

You deputize the National Guard to carry out immigration enforcement.

Then you also deploy the military to the Southern border, not just with a mission to observe, but with an impedance and denial mission.

In other words, you reassert the fundamental Constitutional principle that you don’t have a right to enter into our sovereign territory to even request the asylum claim.

The military has the right to establish a fortress position on the border and say ‘no one can cross here at all.’

Solar eclipse of Biblical proportions will transverse the continental United States    ADAM ELIYAHU BERKOWITZ

“And in that day —declares my God— I will make the sun set at noon, I will darken the earth on a sunny day.”  Amos 8:9  (THE ISRAEL BIBLE)

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 – On April 8, a total solar eclipse will transverse the continental US, passing from the southwest California border with Mexico and crossing to the northwestern United States. While skeptics claim this astronomical phenomenon has no spiritual significance, others note that the last eclipse that transversed the United States ushered in a catastrophic hurricane season, the global COVID epidemic, the war in Ukraine, and the horrific Hamas attack on Israel. Such a series of events has led many to take note of the upcoming eclipse which takes place on the first day of Nisan, the first month of the Biblical calendar that also marks the beginning of the redemption from Egypt.

The total eclipse will pass over Mexico from the Pacific Ocean at around 11:07 AM PDT and continue over the United States, starting in the Southwest and moving northeast until it passes over the shore of the northeast U.S. in northern Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The eclipse will exit continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada, at 5:16 p.m. NDT.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between earth and the sun, thereby obscuring the image of the sun for a viewer on earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon’s apparent diameter (as seen from earth) is larger than the sun’s, blocking all direct sunlight and turning day into darkness. As it happens, the moon will make the month’s closest approach to earth (just 223,000 miles) one day before the total solar eclipse, thereby appearing its largest on the day it crosses between the earth and the sun.Total eclipse occurs only in a narrow path across the earth’s surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of miles wide.

It will be the first solar eclipse visible in the continental U.S. since Aug. 21, 2017, and the only total solar eclipse in the 21st century where the totality will be visible in Mexico, the United States and Canada. It will also be the last total solar eclipse visible in the contiguous United States for the next two decades – until Aug. 23, 2044.

Whereas the path of the 2017 eclipse crossed from the Pacific northwest to southern Florida, the upcoming solar eclipse will begin traversing the continent from the southwest of the US and end in the Northeast. The paths of the two eclipses form a transcontinental ‘X.’ In a strange coincidence, the only spot in the path of both eclipses, receiving a double-dose of this modern plague of darkness, and the point of the longest duration for both eclipses, is a particular part of southern Illinois, known appropriately enough as Little Egypt. The Egyptian connection is so strong that there are several cities in the area named for ancient Egyptian places like Karnak, Cairo, and Thebes.

 

Airport Security Versus Border Security   2ND SMARTEST GUY IN THE WORLD

FEB 25, 2024 – The Intelligence Industrial Complex’s September 11 attack was an inside job in order to expand their never-ending wars, and, more importantly, to foist on America one of the most grossly unconstitutional “laws” in their “Patriot” Act power grab.

Shortly after the “Patriot” Act was instituted. the wholly illegitimate and unconstitutional Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created under the wholly illegitimate and unconstitutional United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The TSA’s objectives never had anything to do with keeping Americans, or, for that matter, the skies safe; the real reason the TSA was deployed against We the People was to condition the average person to accept an ever encroaching Police State, induce perma-fear, and perma-demoralization.

Sadly, the average American mindlessly complied and accepted being completely demeaned by TSA slobs as they were partially undressed, felt up all over, irradiated with various damaging scans, and further treated like the corporate plantation tax-debt-slaves that they are.

Fast forward to 2020, when the Intelligence Industrial Complex installed their senile, ice cream licking, diaper soiling, pedo criminal puppet Joe “Biden.” While on the campaign trail, “Biden” announced to the whole world that when he becomes “President” illegal invaders should surge America’s borders; to wit:

 

‘Skyrocketing’: Number of Attacks on Christians, Churches Explodes   by Bob Unruh

‘American culture appears increasingly hostile to Christianity’

Feb. 25, 2024 9:45 am – Experts are warning a “skyrocketing” number of attacks on Christian churches “mirrors the general anti-Christian tenor of the Biden administration’s policies, at home and abroad,” according to a new report from the Washington Stand that detailed how such incidents of violence have exploded 800% over six years.

The report explains, “Joe Biden’s ‘indifference abroad to the fundamental freedom of religion is rivaled only by the increasing antagonism toward the moral absolutes taught by Bible-believing churches here in the U.S.’”

That word is from Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, who explained, “The Biden administration’s whole-of-government opposition to biblical morality is ‘fomenting this environment of hostility toward churches.’”

“If you believe anti-Christian attacks have skyrocketed over the last decade, you’re right. Attacks on churches have increased 800% in less than six years — and more than doubled over the last year, according to a new report released today by Family Research Council. Documented acts of anti-church hostility include attempted bombings, shootings, satanic vandalism, and numerous attacks based on anti-Christian bias due to support for abortion or extreme transgender ideology. Some constituted unpunished election interference,” the Stand reported.

Some 915 “acts of hostility” have been identified as being launched against churches from January 2018 to November 2023.

 

Taking Nuclear War Seriously   By Newt Gingrich
It is vital that Americans take nuclear war seriously.

Feb. 25, 2024 7:00 am – For the last three and a half decades, since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Americans have relaxed and behaved as though they were essentially safe from nuclear events.

When President Bill Clinton and I created the Hart-Rudman Commission in 1998, we hoped to create a deep rethinking of American security strategies. The Commission was brilliantly led by Gen. Charles Boyd and produced a remarkable report.

We warned that the greatest threat to the United States was a nuclear attack in an American city – likely by a terrorist group. We proposed a Department of Homeland Security capable of dealing with three simultaneous nuclear events. That would have been a department with the discipline and training we associate with military organizations or first-class fire departments.

As a sign of how little people understood the danger of nuclear weapons, the department degenerated into a bureaucratic mess of enormous incompetence. Today, it cannot cope with unarmed civilians at the border. It would likely be totally incapable of dealing with one (let alone three simultaneous) nuclear events.

Yet, nuclear war is becoming increasingly possible. When dealing with the Soviet Union, it was conceivable that a strategy of mutual assured destruction could sustain a balance of deterrence to keep nuclear war at bay. Neither country would launch a nuclear weapon, because there was a virtual certainty of annihilation. In many ways, mutual assured destruction resembled Abraham Lincoln’s response to a duel challenge. Lincoln chose shotguns at three feet, and the other guy backed down.

Now, however, we have countries getting nuclear weapons that may not care if we retaliate.

It is possible that the Iranian theocratic dictatorship would accept the exchange of Tehran for Tel Aviv as a net plus on ideological grounds.

We have no understanding of the values and thought processes of Kim Jung Un and his leadership (including his sister who is supposedly more hard line than he is). Faced with the growing economic, technological, and quality of life achievements of South Korea, it’s possible the North Korean regime might be willing to risk a nuclear attack as the only element in which it has an advantage.

Pakistan is unstable, and its long-time opponent India is steadily growing. This could lead to a nuclear conflict if Pakistan becomes threatened by India’s size – or if India aggressively responds to a perceived Pakistani threat. Ultimately, a nuclear conflict could occur in the region from pure misunderstanding.

The Russian dictatorship is a dangerous combination of Soviet training (Vladimir Putin was a KGB officer and is still deeply loyal to the spirit of the Soviet Union) and Great Russian Nationalism. Furthermore, the depth of Putin and his allies’ corruption – and the intensity and savagery of his response to domestic opponents – create a psychological environment in which the use of nuclear weapons as an alternative to defeat becomes increasingly possible. Putin himself has suggested the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Recently a close ally of his suggested nuclear weapons would be used on London and Washington if Russia was forced to give back any land in Ukraine.

Finally, the most rational and stable of our opponents with nuclear capability is Communist China (this alone should tell us how unstable the world is becoming). It is possible that with a declining population, a rapidly decaying economy, and a growing sense of frustration and global isolation, General Secretary Xi Jinping could decide to risk invading Taiwan or forcing a crisis in the South China Sea. Conflict could spiral out of control with remarkable speed.

 

“Blueprint” Reveals How Radicals are Infiltrating Government to Push Abortion, Transgender Agenda    By Margaret Flavin

Feb. 25, 2024 9:15 am – Radical abortion activists are infiltrating government agencies through a program called the “Blueprint Appointments Project (BAP)”  to push a pro-abortion, pro-transgender agenda.

Some details of the scheme were available in Planned Parenthood’s “2023 in Review: A focus on defending access.

Planned Parenthood shares, “In 2023, the global and domestic sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice community released the 2023 Blueprint for Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice Policy Agenda. The 2023 Blueprint Policy Agenda builds on the 2019 Blueprint Policy Agenda and all of the work that the Biden-Harris administration has done to advance sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice (SRHRJ) domestically and around the globe.”

“It lays out critical actions that the administration can take now, heading into 2024, to further protect and advance people’s access to health care and health equity.”

According to Live Action, The Blueprint for pro-abortion activists, published at Reproblueprint.org, demands abortion and transgender ‘care’ for children and is endorsed by over 100 pro-abortion organizations.

 

Former Panama Border Chief Claims United Nations Is Behind Chaos at the US Border with Mexico   By Jim Hoft

Feb. 25, 2024 7:30 am – Former Panama border chief Oriel Ortega claims the United Nations in behind the chaos and invasion at the US border with Mexico.

A report in November found that the Biden regime is spending $451 billion a year for illegal alien and asylum seeker benefits. [Emphasis added]

Oriel Ortega blames the United Nations for the invasion of America.

Laura Loomer met with Oriel Ortega this week in Panama.

Texas AG Ken Paxton Says Biden ‘Clearly in Partnership’ with Human Trafficking Cartels  (VIDEO)   By Cassandra Macdonald

Feb. 24, 2024 3:00 pm – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said that President Joe Biden is “clearly in partnership” with cartels during a panel discussion at CPAC on Friday.

Paxton was on a panel titled “The America First Bar Association,” featuring Rep. Dan Bishop and America First Legal President Stephen Miller.

“It’s so obvious, we saw what worked under Trump. It’s called enforcing the very things he talked about, and literally day one, Joe Biden comes out and says I’m not deporting anybody,” Paxton said.

Paxton blasted the Biden administration for dismantling Trump-era rules to secure the border, including Remain in Mexico and the Title 42 policies that the former president had enacted.

“So all the policies that worked that brought all the numbers down, when you reverse those policies, all the numbers went up,” Paxton said. “I don’t know why the media can’t figure this out. It’s really obvious.”

Paxton continued, “And Joe Biden is clearly in partnership, without saying it, without having a written contract, with the cartels… He has told them openly, bring as many people here as possible as fast as you can. You don’t have to hide from us anymore.”

The AG explained that border jumpers use to try to sneak across the border undetected, but said “that is not what happens anymore,” unless they’re “terrorists or really bad criminals.”

“This is an administration that this is exactly what they want. They know they’re helping the cartels bring drugs in, human trafficking, it’s all designed by our own government. And so we are in a war with the cartels, with the Chinese importing fentanyl, and our own president against the United States and our country and my state.”

“So we have to have a new president because this is clearly not working,” Paxton continued.

The Post Millenial noted, “It has been revealed that since Biden’s term began, nearly 7.3 million illegal immigrants have come into the US. This number does not account for the estimated 1.8 million known “gotaways” who have eluded authorities.”

Here We Go Again: South Carolina Voters Unable to Vote Reportedly Due to Internet Being Out – Voters Told to Put Ballots in “Another Slot”   By Brian Lupo

Feb. 24, 2024 1:40 pm – The Republican Primary is well underway in South Carolina and already there are reports of issues with voting tabulators in at least one precinct in Richland County.

Real America’s Voice Michelle Backus was on the ground in Satchel Ford Elementary in Columbia, SC.  She spoke Tony Burkes, a voter in that particular precinct.  He said after he filled out his ballot and ran it through the scanner, he received an error message.

Now tell me if this sounds familiar:  A poll worker then told the voter that “they didn’t have internet” and that he would have to “fold it and slide it into another slot.  It looked kind of like a trash can.”

Richland County, SC uses the ES&S DS200 optical scanners, as well as the ES&S ExpressPoll and ExpressVote systems.

We have been told for quite some time that the tabulators do not connect to the internet.  Election officials have claimed that pollbooks must be hooked to the internet in order to ensure voters are credited as voting after the process.  According to the man, this occurred after he received a ballot and while he was scanning it in the tabulator.

He said there were several other voters that he saw at the time that were also puzzled by the issue.

[Ed.:  One way to have free and fair elections, would be to kick the Democrats out’a the country. Another way would be to lock them all up and torture them, like our J6 patriots have been. We would do this even though we know for sure that they’re just innocent civilians and half-wits…]
