BREAKING: Marxist Tyrant Letitia James Takes First Step in Seizing Trump’s Assets, Files Judgments in Westchester County Where Trump’s Golf Course is Located   By Cristina Laila

Mar. 21, 2024 1:40 pm – Marxist tyrant Letitia James took the first step in seizing Trump’s assets on Thursday after his attorney said he was unable to secure a bond to appeal the massive judgment in the NYC fraud case.

Letitia James filed judgments in Westchester County where Trump’s private estate and golf course is located.

President Trump has four days to either pay the judgment or convince the appellate court to allow him to defer the payment pending appeal.

Trump’s attorneys fought back in a court filing on Thursday.

“By demanding an undertaking in the full amount of the judgment in order to appeal, the Attorney General and Supreme Court have sought to impose a patently unreasonable, unjust, and unconstitutional (under both the Federal and New York State Constitutions) bond condition,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.

CNN reported:

The New York attorney general’s office has filed judgments in Westchester County, the first indication that the state is preparing to try to seize Donald Trump’s golf course and private estate north of Manhattan, known as Seven Springs.

State lawyers entered the judgments with the clerk’s office in Westchester County on March 6, just one week after Judge Arthur Engoron made official his $464 million decision against Trump, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization.

Entering a judgment would be the first step a creditor would take to attempt to recover property. Additional steps, such as putting liens on assets or moving to foreclose on properties, or taking other actions in court would follow, if the asset is going to be seized.

The judgment is already entered in New York city where Trump’s properties including Trump Tower, his penthouse at Trump Tower, 40 Wall Street, his hotel abutting Central Park, and numerous apartment buildings are located.

President Trump’s lawyers on Monday in a court filing said Trump has been unable to secure a bond in order to appeal Letitia James’ $454 million judgment.

Letitia James last month threatened to seize Trump’s assets.

Last month President Trump offered to post a $100 million bond and asked for a stay of the $464 million judgment in Letitia James Soviet-style NYC fraud trial.

“The exorbitant and punitive amount of the Judgment coupled with an unlawful and unconstitutional blanket prohibition on lending transactions would make it impossible to secure and post a complete bond,” Trump’s defense lawyers wrote in the filing. “Appellants nonetheless plan to secure and post a bond in the amount of $100 million.”

Trump has been unable to secure a bond for the judgment’s full amount his lawyers said on Monday.

Trump’s “ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is ‘a practical impossibility,’” Trump’s lawyers said, accordin to NBC News. “These diligent efforts have included approaching about 30 surety companies through 4 separate brokers.”

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

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

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

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

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

The $355 million judgment PLUS daily interest has swelled to $464 million.

President Trump on Thursday defended himself against the radical tyrants in New York targeting him for ruin.

“Even though I did nothing wrong, a Radical Left New York Judge, a true Trump Hater, Arthur Engoron (Are we allowed to speak about his Unconstitutional Gag Order?), picked a number out of THIN AIR, $355,000,000, plus interest (reminiscent of John Lovitz, “The Liar,” on SNL when it was good), & wants me to bond it, which is not possible for bonding companies to do in such a high amount, before I can even Appeal. That is CRAZY! If I sold assets, and then won the Appeal, the assets would be forever gone. Also, putting up money before an Appeal is VERY EXPENSIVE. When I win the Appeal, all of that money is gone, and I would have done nothing wrong. The Crooked Judge, who has already been overturned 4 times on this case (a record!), fully understands this. He gave us a demand which he knows is impossible to do. This Witch Hunt, between a bad Judge and a Corrupt & Racist Attorney General, is horrible for New York. Businesses are FLEEING, while Violent Crime flourishes. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Thursday.

DC Swamp Releases $1.2 Trillion Spending Bill with Over 1,000 Pages While America Sleeps, House Has Only Less Than 24 Hours to Review   By Jim Hft

Mar. 21, 2024 10:45 am – The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a colossal $1.2 trillion spending package less than 24 hours after its release. The bill, spanning over 1,000 pages, was made public in the early hours of Thursday morning, at a time when most Americans were not awake to scrutinize its contents.

The release of the omnibus bill follows the House’s passage of a $460 billion package earlier this month, aimed at funding key federal agencies through the end of the budget year.

Negotiations on a second, substantial package that includes defense spending are underway, with leaders from both chambers under pressure to fully fund all federal agencies by the March 22 deadline.

Jake Sherman, the founder of Punchbowl News, reported on Wednesday that “Senior aides involved in the crafting of the government funding deal indicate that the text could slip to Thursday. However, Speaker Johnson and Senate Democratic leadership are pushing hard for a vote by Friday.”

MUST READ: Donald Trump’s Civil Cases In New York Are About Much More Than Him – And If Allowed To Stand, Will Be The Death Knell For Capitalism, Property Rights, And The Rule Of Law   By Paul Ingrassia

Mar. 21, 2024 8:00 am -The Constitution established a form of limited government that was intended to do little else except preserve property rights while guarding those foundational liberties – i.e., freedom to speak, assemble, and religious freedom – that are necessary building blocks for any democratic society.  The government enacted by our Founding Fathers was not designed, as modern Leftists conceive it, to protect the marketplace against perceived injustices, real or imagined, in the namesake of “diversity” or “equity” or some other liberal trope, that – if brought to its logical conclusion – would level all standards, quash all forms of creative genius, and level all of society to the lowest common denominator.

By sharp contrast, the Founders deliberately crafted a government that would best foster man’s creative talents – indeed, the very reason for establishing a limited form of government in the first place was to make man’s pursuit of happiness, that guarantee from the Declaration of Independence, a plausible reality – something that can, practically, be obtained by all Americans on the basis of their individual gifts or merit, rather than social class or birthright.  The underlying assumption of this thinking was that any society constituted on these principles would prosper, because the most gifted members would be least encumbered by the arbitrary constraints of law or custom, in order to best realize their natural, God-given talents.  A society in which the best could realize their inherent gifts, most proficiently and unbothered by the jealous restraints of an undemocratic government, would benefit everyone – this was what used to be referred to as the “American dream” and was what propelled the spirit of free enterprise that once made America great – indeed, arguably the greatest country — the world has ever known.

Alas, all great things over time risk losing their sense of purpose, their original design, and become decadent.  Things become rotten or stale; comfortable generations forget the toils of their forefathers and become lazy in the process – forsaking liberty for easy security or safety.  Over time, first slowly, and then quickly, society breaks down. Tyranny creeps in.  This happens when the citizenry is too consumed by the bread and circus distractions of a decadent society, the fruits of a society that enjoyed too much success.  At which point they allow their narcissism to get the better of them, allowing petty squabbles to obfuscate focus on the bigger picture because of the rampant small-mindedness, which is the hallmark of any generation that has forgotten the duties and sacrifices required for self-government, that becomes ubiquitous.

If allowed to go unchecked for an extended period of time, these vices ultimately become institutionalized – in government, politics, and ultimately, the law.  This is when things become dangerous.  Lawmakers and judicial officers abandon their sacred oaths, and instead turn into jealous and vindictive despots.  Rather than celebrate success and exalt the principles of limited government needed to incubate those conditions for successful people to thrive – like the ability to negotiate deals without concern for frivolous nanny state oversight – they abuse their offices like petty tyrants and begin attacking their natural betters.  When this small-minded outlook becomes pervasive across society, the judiciary gets irrevocably corrupted by the same greed and envy that has tarnished the rest of the society; all of society, rather than elevating its best, begins venerating its worst.

A once free and competitive democracy degenerates into a mad dash to the bottom.  Judges constitutionally tasked with preserving the rule of law become enraptured by revenge – they demand the playing field be leveled; success be condemned.  They abandon their constitutional duties, instead ruling with the spirit of tinpot dictators.  The institutions over which they preside corrode and then collapse by the weight of their self-indulgence.  Despotism then arrives.  Like an uncontrollable wildfire, it spreads rapidly – leaving its mark everywhere; the people become slaves, and the tragedy is that most do not even realize their destitution, for they have lost sight of knowledge of true freedom.

 

Biden’s America: Venezuelan Tik-Tok Influencer Coaches Illegal Aliens on How to Invade American Homes and Invoke Squatter’s Rights  [VIDEOS]   By Jim Hoft

Mar. 21, 2024 9:45 am – TikTok influencer Leonel Moreno posted video telling illegal aliens how to invade American homes and invoke Squatter’s rights.

Here is Moreno’s screed from TikTok – in Spanish.
This was copied and post on X.

Leonel Moreno is currently residing in Ohio living off the system.

Moreno allegedly posted video on how to steal from grocery stores.

The Daily Mail reported:

A TikTok influencer is advising illegal immigrants on how to ‘invade’ American homes and invoke squatter’s rights, making it difficult for them to be removed from properties.

Leonel Moreno, who goes by @leitooficial_25 online and appears to be a Venezuelan migrant, has told undocumented immigrants that under US law, ‘if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it’.

He is referring to squatter’s rights, or adverse possession laws – a common law principle that allows an illegal inhabitant to acquire ownership of a property based on continuous occupation without the legal owner’s consent.

Moreno, alleging he has friends who ‘have already taken about seven homes’, argued the only way for migrants to not live in the streets or be a ‘public burden’ is to ‘seize’ and ‘invade’ abandoned properties.

The now-viral video, which has been viewed almost 4million times, has prompted outrage from many social media users. Some have claimed Moreno is ‘promoting terrorism’ and are now calling on the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to action.

Squatters Flee After Being Confronted by Pair of Vigilantes at Queens, NY House Where Homeowner Was Arrested   By Cristina Laila

Mar. 20, 2024 8:20 pm – A pair of vigilantes on Wednesday chased away squatters after a Queens homeowner was arrested during a standoff with the occupiers on Tuesday.

Adele Andaloro, the homeowner, was handcuffed and arrested following a standoff with the squatters who illegally occupied her family home in Flushing, Queens.

According to reports, Andaloro inherited the million-dollar home after her parents’ death. While preparing the property for sale, she was shocked to discover the locks had been changed and strangers were living inside.

“It’s not fair that I, as the homeowner, have to be going through this,” Adele Andaloro said.

“I’m really fearful that these people are going to get away with stealing my home,” she added.

A pair of vigilantes showed up in a pick-up truck (one was wearing a Trump t-shirt) to confront the squatters.

“We are looking to get this guy out,” one of the vigilantes told the Daily Mail. “I am here to talk to him. I want to see why he is here.”

Two of the squatters fled. One of the squatters covered her face as she left Andolaro’s home.

[Ed.:  Yay!!  “Vigilantes”.  VERY cool. What a good pronoun! These dudes could’a been you or me!!]

 

 

Federal judge: Illegal immigrant can carry guns   By Zachary Stieber

The ruling drew a range of reactions from people in the legal community.

March 20, 2024 – An illegal immigrant was wrongly banned from possessing guns, according to a recent ruling.

A federal law, 18 U.S.C. § 922, bars illegal immigrants from carrying guns or ammunition. Prosecutors charged Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, the illegal alien, in 2020 after he was found in Chicago carrying a semi-automatic pistol despite “knowing he was an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States.”

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman rejected two motions to dismiss, but the third motion, based on a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, triggered the dismissal of the case on March 8.

“The noncitizen possession statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores,” Judge Coleman, appointed under President Barack Obama, wrote in her 8-page ruling. “Thus, the court grants Carbajal-Flores’ motion to dismiss.”

Lawyers for Mr. Carbajal-Flores had argued in the most recent motion to dismiss that the government could not show the law in question was “part of the historical tradition that delimits the outer bounds of the right to keep and bear arms.”

In 2022, the Supreme Court determined that the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment “presumptively protects” conduct that is covered by the amendment’s “plain text.”

To justify regulations, governments must show that each regulation “is consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation,” the high court said at the time. “Only if a firearm regulation is consistent with this nation’s historical tradition may a court conclude that the individual’s conduct falls outside the Second Amendment’s ‘unqualified command.’

“Lifetime disarmament of an individual based on alienage or nationality alone does not have roots in the history and tradition of the United States,” Mr. Carbajal-Flores’ lawyers argued.

They pointed to several rulings interpreting the Supreme Court’s decision, including an appeals court ruling that declared stripping a man convicted of a nonviolent crime of his gun rights was unconstitutional.

The government opposed the motion, noting that neither cited decision applied to illegal immigrants and that the defendant ignored other rulings that did, including a 2023 ruling that found illegal immigrants don’t enjoy Second Amendment rights. The government also offered examples of laws that prohibited certain categories of people from carrying guns, including “individuals who threatened the social order through their untrustworthy adherence to the rule of law.”

But Judge Coleman ruled for the defendant, finding that the laws against untrustworthy people contained exceptions for people who signed loyalty oaths and were deemed nonviolent.

“The government argues that Carbajal-Flores is a noncitizen who is unlawfully present in this country. The court notes, however, that Carbajal-Flores has never been convicted of a felony, a violent crime, or a crime involving the use of a weapon. Even in the present case, Carbajal-Flores contends that he received and used the handgun solely for self-protection and protection of property during a time of documented civil unrest in the Spring of 2020,” she wrote.

“Additionally, Pretrial Service has confirmed that Carbajal-Flores has consistently adhered to and fulfilled all the stipulated conditions of his release, is gainfully employed, and has no new arrests or outstanding warrants. The court finds that Carbajal-Flores’ criminal record, containing no improper use of a weapon, as well as the non-violent circumstances of his arrest do not support a finding that he poses a risk to public safety such that he cannot be trusted to use a weapon responsibly and should be deprived of his Second Amendment right to bear arms in self-defense.”

An attorney representing Mr. Carbajal-Flores declined to comment. Federal prosecutors did not respond to a request for comment.

Data shows minority voters shifting party affiliation   By Noah Slayter 

Former President Donald Trump currently has almost four times the support of black voters than he had in 2020.

March 20, 2024 – (The Daily Signal) — New polling suggests the country is about to see a “racial realignment” in upcoming elections.

recent analysis shows a consistent downturn in the number of “nonwhites” who call themselves Democrats.

John Burn-Murdoch is the chief data reporter for the Financial Times. His March 11 analysis shows that since 1960, there has been a steady decrease in black people, Latinos, and other nonwhites identifying as Democrats. As it currently stands, about 50% of minorities self-identify as Democrats.

Burn-Murdoch said he foresees that a majority of nonwhite voters could identify as Republicans in future elections.

“The migration we’re seeing today is not so much natural Democrats becoming disillusioned but natural Republicans realizing they’ve been voting for the wrong party,” Burn-Murdoch said.

Other polls have produced similar data. According to Gallup polling, Democrats have lost nearly 20 points in support from black Americans switching party preference in the last three years — down from 86% to 66%.

The Financial Times reporter chalks this up to reduced stigma for voting conservative among nonwhite voters. Basically, conservative people of color are now choosing to vote their values, not party loyalty, Burns-Murdoch says.

One example he shows is on the issues of gun rights and abortion. The percentages of nonwhite voters who vote pro-Second Amendment and pro-life are growing.

These data points could have importance in the upcoming election. For example, in Georgia, eligible black voters make up a third of the population.

In a statement to The New York Times, Joe Biden pollster Celinda Lake said, “We have to get the [African American voter] numbers up and we have to get African American voters out to vote, and we have to get the numbers up with young people and we have to get them out to vote.”

Biden presently has 73% support with black men and 83% support from black women. According to The New York Times, no Democratic candidate has won less than 80% of the black vote since the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

Also according to The Times, former President Donald Trump currently has almost four times the support of black voters than he had in 2020. A New York Times-Siena Poll has him at 23% black support, up from 4% support in 2020 and 6% in 2016.

 

Leaving Home: Wife of J6 Political Prisoner Shares Impact on Families

Mar. 20, 2024 3:40 pm – J6 political prisoner Taylor James Johnatakis is a father of 5 and the sole breadwinner for his family. He went to the Capital on January 6th  “to get content for experiential storytelling, to see a major moment in history, win or lose.”

On November 21, Taylor was found guilty on seven charges, three of them felonies.  He is awaiting sentencing.

Dealing with the impact on her family and knowing other families face similar challenges, Taylor’s wife Marie was inspired to start a non-profit, Left Behind and Without, to provide the children of incarcerated parents with diverse extracurricular activities, something many of these children are unable to experience due to lack of financial resources.

“Parental incarceration was something I had never experienced until it came to my home and my children. When my husband was incarcerated, our family faced a profound shift. Focused on saving money, we had to make difficult choices, and among the first sacrifices were the sports and music lessons our kids cherished. Considering the impact on them, already dealing with the absence of their father, I found myself tearfully discussing it with my mother. In that emotional moment, she offered a lifeline, assuring me not to worry. She pledged to cover the costs of the lessons and extracurricular activities our children loved.”

“This gesture was an immense relief. It meant our kids could continue participating in activities that brought them joy and valuable life lessons. Playing on teams, interacting with coaches, and setting and achieving goals contributes to all children’s growth and resilience.”

“We take pride in this organization, knowing it will provide similar support to families navigating challenges like ours.”

“Our mission is to facilitate access to diverse extracurricular programs for children affected by parental incarceration. By fostering participation in these activities, we aim to provide a supportive environment where children can discover their talents, build resilience, and benefit from positive interactions with coaches and mentors. Our goal is to empower these children, offering opportunities for growth and a pathway to a more promising future.”

Marie recently shared her thoughts about the impact faced by families of J6 political prisoners.

The Pacific Northwest has been our home for the last 15 years.

I spent a little time at the beach today, taking in the cold breeze, with the warmth of the sun hitting my body. The ocean is such a peaceful place, and our home is situated within minutes of a couple of quiet beaches. These are places I go and just take in the world as it spins.

It’s sad for me to think about Taylor not saying goodbye to our little corner of the earth, our little heaven.

Our small town of around 3,000 people is situated across the Puget Sound from the busy city of Seattle. The downtown is quaint, with its small shops that are open at bizarre hours, interesting and unique places to eat, beautiful scenery, a farmer’s market for part of the year and a quiet and inviting marina. Elise works at a little French crepe shop at the corner of the main street that runs through downtown Kingston. If you go any further down the street you will end up on a boat, headed over to a much busier way of life, over to Seattle.

This time of year the Cherry Blossom trees start blooming. It’s probably my favorite time of the year, especially after a wet and dark winter. The Tulip Festival up in the Skagit Valley is a place we visit each spring. Lavender, rhododendrons and blackberries grow abundantly in our neck of the woods. It is truly an abundant, beautiful area.

***Please help Taylor and his family here.****

We will be moving soon. That is sad. This area has been good to us. It’s here our five children were born. Here that we have connected with community and friends, when both of our families were so far away. Here we lost one of our sweet little babies, who was born too many months early. We had planned a family trip to cruise from Florida to some of the islands in the Atlantic. While on the boat I had a Placental Abruption, which caused us to disembark, and I later gave birth to our sweet little Destin. He was born in beautiful Puerto Rico. He lived for a week, but we were never able to bring him home. It was in Kingston where Bensen fell from a window when he was three. After he fell, his eyes were not dilated and he was completely conscious and seemed to be fine. It was a paramedic that had come to our home, and felt uneasy about the height of the fall. He had a little boy the same age as Ben (and also named Ben). He said that if it was him, he would fly his son to Seattle, to get him checked out. Ben was flown on a helicopter to Harborview and that day would receive a life-saving brain surgery. His recommendation saved Ben’s life. I see that paramedic around town, and am always grateful for what he represents to us. It was here that we have homeschooled our five kids. Elise enrolled in the community college her last two years of high school and will get her Associates Degree soon. She has loved our community college. Here my kids have played on sports teams, had music lessons, concerts. We’ve been involved with homeschool groups that have become like family. I have taught high school History, Writing and Leadership classes to many of those kids. Taylor has coached sports teams and led scout troops. He has operated a few businesses and eventually found value in digging dirt and installing septic systems.

It doesn’t seem right to say goodbye to this place without Taylor.

What adventures await us and how long we have to wait to be reunited with him is unknown. A man came to the jail to present some pre-sentencing papers to Taylor. There was a section stating how many dependents he has. In that section the probation department wrote 0. He inquired about that, knowing he has 5 children and a wife. The man stated that Taylor didn’t have any dependents, since he was in jail. I wonder if that is how the court sees our family? I wonder if they want to even acknowledge that we exist? Maybe it’s easier for them that way. Who knows. It’s a merciless system and our kids miss their dad.

Sentencing is coming soon and the prosecution is asking for 9+ years. 9+ years for Taylor. I wonder how that could be. They say he obstructed congress and that he assaulted an officer. During the trial Taylor asked the two officers if he had “hurt, harmed, injured or threatened them in any way”. Both officers replied that he hadn’t. Taylor asked if they accepted his sincere and heartfelt apology for his role in the events that day. They accepted, one even saying, “it’s water under the bridge”.

It’s hard for me to imagine him in jail. Taylor has never spanked our kids, he’s always been loving and supportive to me as a wife and mother. He is a good person.

This is really hard.

Whatever may come, we are up for the adventure…even if it’s a difficult one!

WW3 WATCH: BOMBSHELL REVEAL: US ‘Green Beret’ Special Forces Permanently Stationed in Taiwan Near Border With China   By Paul Serran

Mar. 20, 2024 5:20 pm – 45 years after the United States withdrew its forces from Taiwan following the normalization of diplomatic relations with China, it is now revealed that the ‘Green Beret’ forces are permanently stationed on islands in the Taiwan Strait near the Chinese border.

Taiwanese Defense Chief Chiu Kuo-cheng officially confirmed it when asked about the presence of the US Army Special Forces.

This revelation has the potential to escalate tensions with China.

Read: What would a “Soft Invasion” of Taiwan look like?

Daily Express US reported:

“[The admission] comes after Secretary of State Antony Blinken this week issued an ‘ironclad’ warning to China as tensions between the two nations rise.”

Former President Tsai Ing-wen had already mentioned in passing three years ago ‘occasional training sessions with US instructors’, but  Chiu’s recent statement is the first official confirmation of the permanent nature of these activities.

“According to reports from Taiwan’s United Daily News (UDN), US Army Green Berets from the 1st Special Forces Group are now permanently stationed at bases of the 101st Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion, a Taiwanese army special operations force, located in outlying island counties of Penghu and Kinmen. Notably, Kinmen lies just over a mile from Chinese shores.

Additionally, reports suggest an American military presence in the northeast city of Taoyuan on Taiwan’s main island, with service members providing specialized training on drone equipment for Taiwan’s elite Airborne Special Service Company.”

Newsweek reported:

“The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in 2023 paved the way for their arrival to conduct training programs for troops on Taiwan’s front line.”

The U.S. Army Green Berets from the 1st Special Forces Group were sent to the outlying island counties of Penghu and also Kinmen, just a mile away from Chinese territory.

“The 1st Battalion of this Pacific-oriented Special Forces Group is forward-deployed in Okinawa, Japan, while the rest of the battalion is stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.

The U.S. has maintained no official military presence in Taiwan since it pulled out in 1979 following the normalization of U.S.-China relations.

Officially, U.S.-Taiwan military exchanges, which have been indirectly acknowledged in the past, are handled by the de facto U.S. embassy, the American Institute in Taiwan.

Though the U.S. switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing, the U.S. remains Taiwan’s largest arms supplier.”

Leading Wisconsin Democrat Kimberly Zapata Found Guilty on All Counts Against of Her in Voter Fraud Scheme Involving Military Ballots   By Jim Hoft

Mar. 20, 2024 5:00 pm – In November 2022, Rep. Janel Brandtjen, then Chair of the Assembly on Campaigns and Elections, sent out an election fraud alert.

Rep. Brandtjen received three authentic military ballots to her home addressed to “Holly,” a woman who has never lived there.

Brantjen believed this was part of a scheme to steal votes in Wisconsin.

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this 2020 voter fraud scheme in several battleground states where military ballots shockingly went almost entirely to Joe Biden.  We posted evidence that this occurred in Michigan, Arizona and Georgia.

Later that week Wisconsin radio host Dan O’Donnell broke the news that Kimberly Zapata, the deputy director of the City of Milwaukee Election Commission, was fired for committing election fraud.

Milwaukee Elections Commission Director Claire Woodall-Vogg, who we have spotlighted several times at The Gateway Pundit for her questionable actions, says she believes that Zapata was attempting to point out that military ballots can be requested and sent out without a photo ID or even voter registration.

More… Democrats say Zapata was trying to prove how easy it was to request fake ballots when she committed her crime.  Democrats rushed in to defend her. Democrats argued that this was all a conspiracy theory. Even though it worked EXACTLY like Zapata said it would.

 

BOOM! Jamie Raskin Fumes After Hunter Biden’s Business Partner Attacks Democrats Raskin and Goldman for Lying on Behalf of Biden Crime Family    By Jim Hoft

Mar. 20, 2024 10:25 am – Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski blasted Representatives Jamie Raskin and Don Goldman today in his opening statement before the House Oversight Committee.

Bobulinski accused Raskin and Goldman of lying to the American public in order to protect the Biden crime family.

The House Oversight Committee is holding its second hearing today as part of its impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

Tony Bobulinski did not hold back in his opening statement.

Tony Bobulinski: Yet the same people preaching this mantra know better. They continue to lie directly to the American people without hesitation and remorse. Rep. Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers, and Mr. Goldman, a former prosecutor with the SDNY from New York, will continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media to tell more lies. Hunter Biden’s defense attorney, Abby Lowell, weaponizes letters to Congress to try to smear my name. Mr. Chairman, state the cold, hard facts.

Jami Raskin: Mr. Chairman.

Tony Bobulinski: In an attempt to save his powerfully connected client and his father, I challenge Mr. Lowell to make those claims on national television so he can be held accountable for his lies. Prior to my successful business career, I was an officer in the United States Navy at Navy’s elite naval nuclear Power Training Command. I later served as the command’s chief technology officer.

Chairman James Comer: I apologize for the disruption from the…

Tony Bobulinski: Am I supposed to say it’s my time?

Chairman Comer: Please. Mr. Bobalinski, please come to order. Mr. Bobiliski. Mr. Bobiliwitsky, please proceed. Please proceed. I apologize for the disruption from the minority.

Jamie Raskin: Well, Mr. Chairman, save his time. But he called members of this committee liars. And I just want to know whether the order and decorum requirements of House rule eleven apply to witnesses appearing before the committee. Does it apply or does it not?

Chairman Comer: I don’t. There’s decorum from the members we’ve asked for that. There’s no language that I’m aware of pertaining to a witness.

 

Julian Assange’s Lawyer Responds to Report Claiming DOJ is ‘Exploring’ a Plea Deal   By Cassandra Macdonald

Mar. 20, 2024 4:20 pm – The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that the Justice Department is “considering whether to allow Julian Assange to plead guilty to a reduced charge of mishandling classified information.”

Julian Assange’s U.S. defense attorney, Barry Pollack, responded to the report by saying that as far as his office has seen, there is no indication that the government is easing up on its determination to seek his extradition.

Pollack said in a statement provided to the Gateway Pundit, “It is inappropriate for Mr. Assange’s lawyers to comment while his case is before the UK High Court other than to say we have been given no indication that the Department of Justice intends to resolve the case and the United States is continuing with as much determination as ever to seek his extradition on all 18 charges, exposing him to 175 years in prison.”

Pollack’s statement directly contradicts the WSJ’s claim that “Justice Department officials and Assange’s lawyers have had preliminary discussions in recent months about what a plea deal could look like, according to people familiar with the matter, a potential softening in a standoff filled with political and legal complexities.”

The Wall Street Journal report cites unnamed “people familiar with the matter” and speculated that “the possibility of a deal that would end a lengthy legal saga triggered by one of the biggest classified intelligence leaks in American history.”

Assange has been held at Belmarsh prison in London since April 2019 as the US government works to extradite him. Before his arrest, he had been living in the Ecuadorian Embassy with asylum since June 2012.

He is currently facing charges under the Espionage Act for publishing the Iraq and Afghan War Logs. If convicted, the publisher could face a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison for publishing the leaked materials.

 

Impeachment witness accuses Hunter Biden of perjury, alleges discrepancies in testimony   By Steven Richards

Tony Bobulinski, an ex-partner of Hunter Biden, delivered his combative opening statement shortly after the public hearing began Wednesday morning.

March 20, 2024 11:27am – In his opening statement before the House Oversight Committee’s first public impeachment inquiry testimony, ex-Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski accused Hunter and James Biden of perjury, alleging contradictions in their testimony.

“On Page 48 of his transcript, Hunter is asked, ‘He’s never interacted with any of your business associates. Is that correct?’ The ‘He’s’ is a reference to Joe Biden. Hunter responds, ‘Yes’,” Bobulinski said in his opening statement.

“Hunter arranged the meeting between his father and me at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on May 2, 2017. The sole reason Hunter wanted me to meet his father was because I was the CEO of Sinohawk, the Bidens’ partnership with CEFC. I was a business associate. In his transcript, Hunter confirms that that meeting with Joe took place and incriminates his Uncle Jim for perjury by confirming it,” he added, explaining the alleged contradictions.

Bobulinski highlighted Hunter Biden’s claim in testimony that he began to work for CEFC China Energy in the spring of 2017. Yet, evidence gathered by the impeachment inquiry indicates Hunter Biden’s relationship with the company began much earlier, with the earliest contacts taking place in late 2015 while his father was still the vice president, Just the News previously reported.

Bobulinski also accused presidential brother James Biden of lying to the committee. “Jim Biden also lied extensively throughout his transcribed interview before the Oversight Committee on February 21, and ironically, Hunter Biden – in his own testimony as outlined above – confirmed that Jim Biden perjured himself,” Bobulinski claimed.

Hunter Biden, in his transcribed interview with the committee, did confirm this meeting took place between Bobulinski and his father, directly contradicting James Biden’s testimony that the meeting “absolutely” did not happen.

Bobulinski also directly confronted two Democratic members of the Oversight Committee, accusing them of lying in the media about the impeachment inquiry. “Representatives Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers, and Mr. Goldman a former prosecutor with the Southern District of New York, will continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media to tell more lies,” he said in his opening statement.

 

RELENTLESS REVOLT: Polish Farmers Stage 600 Protests in a Day Against EU Crippling Green Policies and Cheap Unregulated Ukrainian Grain   By Paul Serran

Mar. 20, 2024 10:15 am – One of the great things about the great European Farmers’ revolt is its relentless character.

Hardly a day passes by without some group of hard working people from some European country getting in the face of authorities, media and society with their urgent plight.

Long gone are the days when the MSM tried so hard to present the agricultural fight as mere ‘demands for more subsidy’.

Today everyone understands that the escalating protests are against the failed, crippling EU environmental regulations that threaten the very existence of the food producers.

In the case of the Polish farmers there is another specific demand against cheap, unregulated food imports from neighboring Ukraine.

 

Unreal: NYT Article Praises ‘Deep State,’ Blasts Trump for Trying to Take it Down   By Samuel Short

Mar. 19, 2024 7:00 pm – Oh, New York Times. You never cease to amaze us.

In their latest hit piece regarding former President Donald Trump’s comments about the deep state, the New York Times would like us to think that deep state is “kind of awesome.”

The NYT took it upon itself to travel around and find out just who these people are that Trump has made frequent remarks about firing should he be re-elected this November.

The Times first met with Scott Bellamy at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Apart from being the Planetary Missions Program Office mission manager, we learn that Bellamy loves Star Trek, drives a Nissan, and helped direct an asteroid off its course with a space craft.

Next, the Times went to Washington D.C. to meet Assistant Administrator for Water Radhika Fox of Environmental Protection Agency Office of Water. When she isn’t doing pilates or making salads, she’s ensuring we have clean, lead-free drinking water. She’s also a big Taylor Swift fan.

In one last trip to Chicago, the Times was introduced to Department of Labor Acting Director for Enforcement of the Wage and Hour Division for the Midwest Regional Office Nancy Alcantara.

Did you know that she runs marathons and likes Lucky Charms? She also makes sure child labor isn’t used in slaughterhouses. Alcantara “raided slaughterhouses in several and found more than 100 children working illegally” according to the NYT.

Alcantara said amputated limbs and children dying would have occurred had the Department of Labor not stepped in.

Clearly, the NYT has shown viewers some genuinely likable and relatable people who do meaningful work with our tax dollars.

You like space travel, right? You don’t want to be destroyed by an asteroid, right? Surely you don’t want lead in the water or children working in slaughterhouses. A vote for Trump is clearly a vote for lead poisoning, child labor, and asteroids hitting Earth.

The real question is, are these the people Trump is talking about when he refers to the deep state? Will he really go after hardworking Americans who dedicate their lives to a meaningful cause?

That is seriously doubtful. When President Trump talks about the deep state, he is referring to an unelected bureaucracy that wields excessive authority over our lives, the choices we make, and how the government operates.

Why didn’t the Times interview anyone from the FBI? How about an interview with people from the CIA, ATF, Department of JusticeDepartment of Homeland Security, or the IRS?

 

Supreme Court Judge Jackson Says the “Quiet Part” Out Loud   By John Mills

Mar. 20, 2024 7:15 am – The first day (perhaps the only day) of the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) oral arguments on Murthy v. Biden took place on March 18, 2024.  This was an opportunity to seek Supreme Court resolution on the matter of U.S. Government personnel in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Surgeon General, and others coercing social media to throttle, silence, and censor American Citizens.

The predominant post-hearing headlines from much of legacy media presupposed a SCOTUS opinion.  Headlines included SCOTUS “likely to reject”, Missouri and Louisiana case “appears doomed”, SCOTUS Justices liberal and conservative alike appeared “skeptical” of the assertions.

This is the same network that pushed the Russia collusion hoax and every other imaginable anti-Trump conspiracy theory for the last six years.

JUST IN: Appeals Court BLOCKS Texas from Arresting and Deporting Illegals Hours After Supreme Court Ruling – Bush and Biden Judges Cast the Deciding Votes   By Cullen Linebarger

Mar. 20, 2024 6:42 am – A federal appeals court overnight blocked a Texas law that allows authorities to arrest and deport illegal migrants just hours after the Supreme Court ruled in the state’s favor.

The Texas migration law, known as Senate Bill 4, was supposed to go into effect March 5, but the Supreme Court put it on hold for two weeks, conceding to the Biden regime and pro-illegal aliens groups who wanted the statute on ice. They claim the legislation intrudes on federal authority over immigration.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow Texas to enforce immigration laws Tuesday afternoon. Radical-left Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Kentaji Brown Jackson both offered angry dissents in response.

The ruling, as Fox News notes, was not based on the merits of the case.

But on Tuesday night the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 order stopping the law from taking effect.

Politico reports Chief Judge Priscilla Richman, President George W. Bush nominated, and Judge Irma Ramirez, an appointee of Joe Biden, voted Tuesday night to restore the earlier injunction against the law. Neither explained their decision.

Judge Andy Oldham, who President Donald Trump nominated, aptly argued in his dissent the law should have gone into effect because the injection altered the legislative process.

The actions by the appeals court and the Supreme Court come as the nation’s highest court is scheduled to hear arguments regarding Senate Bill 4 by videoconference Wednesday morning as Politico notes.

Texas state officials previously celebrated the Lone Star State’s short-lived victory on Tuesday. Attorney General Ken Paxton called the Supreme Court’s ruling a “huge win” in an X post.

“Texas has defeated the Biden Administration’s and ACLU’s emergency motions at the Supreme Court,” Paxton wrote. “Our immigration law, SB 4, is now in effect.”

“As always, it’s my honor to defend Texas and its sovereignty, and to lead us to victory in court.”

The Associated Press on Tuesday reported Mexico’s corrupt government stated it would not “under any circumstances” accept the return of illegal aliens from Texas following the Supreme Court ruling.

[Ed.:  Isn’t it appalling how every time we’re about to achieve corrective measures for our country, Obama appointed ‘judges’ step in and block us!]

 

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft Delivers EPIC Speech On The Steps Of The Supreme Court: The Biden Regime And Big Tech Are Employing What They Call the ‘Cognitive Infrastructure’ To Control What We Think   [6:49]   By Alicia Powe

Mar. 19, 2024 6:00 pm – The US Supreme Court heard arguments on Monday from The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft in Murthy v. Missouri, a lawsuit against the Biden administration and an army of government agencies who have sought to destroy this publication and purged thousands of alternative media websites from the web for reporting so-called “misinformation” and “disinformation.”

Other plaintiffs joining the TGP founder the lawsuit against the Biden regime for trampling on free speech include the state of Missouri, the state of Louisiana, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Aaron Kheriaty and Jill Hines.

On Monday, Hoft, the lead plaintiff in the case, and his attorney John Burns heard oral arguments in-person before the assembled Supreme Court.

The complaint, initially filed by the States of Missouri and Louisiana, alleges the Biden White House and dozens of federal officials and agencies are conspiring with social media companies including Facebook, Twitter censored the speech of millions of American citizens, particularly following the election of Donald Trump and amid the government manufactured Covid 19 pandemic.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals substantially sided with the plaintiffs, prompting the government to appeal, this time to the Supreme Court of the United States.

In an address to the nation on the steps of the Supreme Court, Hoft warned the decision in the monumental case will determine whether the United States remains a country in which citizens are protected by the First Amendment or will succumb to the totalitarianism as the politically weaponized federal government employs tech giants to scrub the free press from the web and retaliates against dissidents of the fictitious detrimental government narratives.

The Supreme Courts will determine “if we’re going to have free speech still in America, if we’re going to have our freedoms. We’re going to go one direction,” the intrepid journalist said. “Or the court is going to decide that, ‘No, we’re going to change things in America for the next few generations,’ and we’re gonna go in a different direction,” Hoft told hundreds of free speech activists outside the courthouse after oral arguments concluded.

“The courts gonna decide whether the government’s going to control the speed, the government’s gonna control the thoughts that you have.”

During discovery in the case Hoft confirmed the government was employing what it called “cognitive infrastructure” to “control what we think as human beings,” Hoft revealed.

“We actually found in discovery in this case, that they’re actually using a term ‘cognitive infrastructure. They’re calling it the cognitive infrastructure, and ‘they need to control that.’ Think of how Orwellian that is,” he continued. “They’re actually using a term like that, to describe that they have the right, then, to control what we think as human beings. That is so unAmerican.

“I hope but the court decides in our favor, because this, again, this is gonna decide who we are as a country. Are we going to be a totalitarian state for the government, where the government gets to tell us what to do, what to say what to think, are we going to have a free society like we’ve had before, and what we’re used to?

“God willing, this will turn out the way that we expect it should. We all know that should it should turn out this way. It’s not really a hard decision, I don’t think. But we hope that they have the courage to do the right thing, just like these brave doctors.”

BATTLEFIELD BRAIN: New Study on Victims of ‘Havana Syndrome’ Finds No Signs of Brain Injury, but Identifies ‘Real Symptoms’ That Are ‘Profound’ and ‘Disabling’   By Paul Serran

Mar. 19, 2024 12:20 pm – The brain is the new battlefield.

A new government study that tracked over 80 victims of ‘Havana Syndrome’ found no MRI-detectable signs of brain injury.

But it also identified ‘real symptoms’ of the mystery condition, symptoms which researchers called ‘quite profound’ and ‘disabling.’

A year ago, I wrote a long article in my Substack about this puzzling series of attacks. Here’s how it all began:

“Let me take you back to poor, sunny Havana, in late 2016. It’s been a little over a year since diplomatic ties were restored between the US and Cuba. That’s when the enigma commences. What the State Department initially called ‘health attacks’. What the press would describe as ‘an astonishing international mystery‘ unfolding in Cuba.

‘The blaring, grinding noise jolted the American diplomat from his bed in a Havana hotel. He moved just a few feet, and there was silence. He climbed back into bed. Inexplicably, the agonizing sound hit him again’.”

The number of American diplomats who fell victim to these unexplained events in Cuba quickly rose to 21.

Some have had concussions, and others have permanent hearing loss. Symptoms also included ‘brain swelling, dizziness, nausea, severe headaches, balance problems and tinnitus, and speech issues.

The situation escalated to such a degree that the US was moved to warn Americans not to visit Cuba, slashed the number of people at its Havana mission, and went on to expel 15 Cuban diplomats.

“What [then] US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called ‘deliberate attacks’ were very real. But attacks by whom? With what objective? And, to begin with: what kind of attacks? When it comes to National Security concerns, not knowing is not an option.

Up until one year ago, the attacks [were] ongoing, and there doesn’t seem to be a safe place on earth to escape their reach.”

Now, one year later, we have this Daily Mail report:

“Persistent dizziness and balance issues were among those real symptoms for 28 percent of the embassy officials and other patients studied, according to the report.”

The new study was published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). It performed MRI scans on 81 out of 86 State Dept employees and their adult family members who reported ‘anomalous health incidents (AHIs).’

 

Top Polish General: ‘Ukrainian Losses Must Be Counted in the Millions, Not Hundreds of Thousands’   By Paul Serran

Mar. 19, 2024 4:00 pm – About a month ago, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came to public and stated that Kiev forces had lost a grand total of 30 thousand troops in the war.

It was a shame to see how the world’s MSM sheepishly accepted these figures, that everyone knew were not accurate in the least.

Russian defense minister Sergey Shoigu had put the number of Ukrainian losses at over 600 thousand – and apparently the real numbers may be an order of magnitude greater.

A high-ranking Polish general has just gone on the public record saying that Ukrainian losses in its confrontation with the Russian Forces should be counted in the millions, rather than in hundreds of thousands.

TASS reported:

“Former Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces Rajmund Andrzejczak said in an interview with the Polsat TV channel: ‘I believe that [Ukraine’s actual] losses should be counted in the millions, not the hundreds of thousands. There are no resources in this country, no one left to fight’, the general added.

‘The Ukrainians are losing this war’, he said, describing the situation as ‘very, very dramatic’.”

General Andrzejczak said that the recent top brass reshuffle, with Alexander Syrsky replacing Valery Zaluzhny had not changed anything.

“‘General Syrsky is facing the same dilemmas as General Zaluzhny. It turns out that he had to withdraw the troops and tidy up the frontline. All the problems that Zaluzhny had still remain’, he maintained.”

 

If the Left Hates the Term “Bloodbath” So Much, Why Do They Use it So Often?  (VIDEOS + Compilation Video)   By Margaret Flavin

Mar. 19, 2024 2:40 pm – The Gateway Pundit reported on the complete meltdown by leftists after Donald Trump used the term “bloodbath” to describe what will happen to the automobile industry if Joe Biden wins in November.

“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath. That’s going to be the least of it,” Trump said during a rally near Dayton, Ohio. “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”

The left clutched their pearls over use of the term.

Why is the left suddenly so squeamish about saying “bloodbath?”

They certainly use it often enough.

Tom Elliott shared @mazemoore‘s two-minute compilation video showing just how often the left embraces the term.

Lawsuit Claims Indiana High School Track Coach Banned Athletes Gathering to Pray Before Meets   By Cassandra Macdonald

Mar. 19, 2024 3:00 pm – A federal lawsuit claims that the girls’ track coach at Lake Central High School in St. John, Indiana, banned student-athletes from gathering to pray before meets.

The American Center for Law and Justice is representing two sisters on the team, identified in the lawsuit only as K.D., 17, and N.D., 14.

The lawsuit alleges that Coach Ron Fredrick became upset when he saw some girls gathering to pray during a warm-up in late February.

The coach warned the girls, “Don’t let me see you do that again.”

On March 4, 2024, the coach explicitly told the girls that they must “not be seen praying together as a group at high school track meets.”

According to Coach Fredrick, the only option was for those who wished to pray to engage in an “individualized moment of reflection” alone or in small groups of two to three. He added that any “moment of reflection” should be “limited to .5 seconds like a moment of silence during the national anthem.”

The coach’s instructions were reported to officials at the high school, but he repeated his order the following day.

In a statement about the lawsuit, the ACLJ said, “Rarely are we presented with such a blatant violation of students’ First Amendment rights as has occurred here.”

“The same day we were contacted, we sent a demand letter to the school superintendent demanding that the school take immediate action to halt the ongoing First Amendment violations. The First Amendment undisputedly protects students’ right to pray or engage in other religious speech or activities before, during, or after school and at school events, including sporting events.”

Despite the complaints, the issue has not been resolved by the school.

 

BREAKING: In Major Blow to Biden Regime, Supreme Court Allows Texas to Enforce Immigration Law That Gives Police Power to Arrest Illegals   By Cristina Laila

Mar. 19, 2024 2:00 pm – The US Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Texas to enforce its immigration law that allows police to arrest illegal aliens.

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

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

Texas’ immigration law still may be blocked at a later date.

NBC News reported:

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that it will allow Texas to enforce for now a contentious new law that gives local police the power to arrest migrants.

The conservative-majority court, with three liberal justices dissenting, rejected an emergency request by the Biden administration, which said states have no authority to legislate on immigration, an issue the federal government has sole authority over.

That means the law can go into effect while litigation continues in lower courts. It could still be blocked at a later date.

In December Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill that gives Texas police power to arrest illegal aliens amid Biden’s border invasion.

“Biden’s deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself,” Abbott said, adding the new bill is designed to “stop the tidal wave of illegal entry into Texas.”

“At the Texas-Mexico border today for a bill signing ceremony that will take #OperationLoneStar to the next level,” Abbott said on X in December.

 

‘The World Knows That I Didn’t Take the Vaccine’: Brazil’s Bolsonaro, Relentlessly Targeted by Socialist Lula, Is Indicted for Allegedly Falsifying His Vaxx Records   [VIDEO]   By Paul Serran

Mar. 19, 2024 12:40 pm – In a series of moves eerily reminding us of the lawfare persecution in the US against President Donald Trump, former Brazilian President and conservative champion Jair Bolsonaro, relentlessly targeted by the new socialist regime, has now been indicted by Federal Police, accused of falsifying his COVID vaccination data.

Bolsonaro told Reuters: “It’s a selective investigation. I’m calm, I don’t owe anything. The world knows that I didn’t take the vaccine.”

He is not wrong, since we remember him not vaxxed and not wearing a mask at the UN General Assembly, having pizza standing up in the sidewalk outside of a New York restaurant, exactly because of that.

In fact, for his criticism of the COVID vaxx and promotion of Ivermectin and other more effective treatments, Bolsonaro was vilified in the media and called by the leftards in Brazil ‘a genocidal mass murderer’.

But the fact is the current Lula da Silva government is floundering, and Lula’s popularity is declining in opinion polls, such Qaest, Ipec, Atlas companies, as well as Brazil’s largest poll provider Datafolha.

Lula bitterly complained in a ministerial meeting that he and his group ‘are losing the war of digital communication’.

So, the persecution of the immensely popular Bolsonaro, that gathers rock-star level crowds everywhere he goes, is of paramount importance top socialists like Lula and his allies of the rogue Brazilian Supreme Court.

Watch: here’s how many people flooded São Paulo to support Bolsonaro in late February.

WATCH AND SHARE: Elon Musk Posts DEVASTATING Ad Exposing Migrant Invasion, Democratic Plan For One Party Rule   By Ben Kew

Mar. 19, 2024 11:20 am – X owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has posted a devastating ad exposing the migrant invasion for what it really is.

Musk, who has become progressively red-pilled over the last few years, shared the ad with his 177 million followers on X with the tagline: “This is happening!”

The ad, which was originally posted and produced by the anti-communist account Western Lensman, exposes how the Democratic Party’s open borders policy is part of a broader plan to entrench single-party rule.

In under two minutes, it lists nine ways how Democrats plan to achieve this:

  1. Flood the country with untold millions of illegals by land, sea, and air from all over the world, enough to eclipse the populations of 36 individual U.S. states so far.
  2.  Prioritize the needs of these millions of non-citizens over the needs of American citizens with free flights, busses, hotels, meals and phones, ensuring their loyalty to the political party that imported them.
  3. Keep them in the country at all costs, even when they commit violent crimes like murder or rape. Attack the language used to describe the criminals as opposed to the criminals themselves. Slander critics as racist.
  4.  Ensure their privileges are made irreversible with city and state sanctuary laws that act as population magnets. Codify permanent status and ensure non-cooperation with ICE.
  5. Count the non-citizens in the census that will determine congressional apportionment in the House of Representatives. As of now, they would equal 13 extra Congressional districts, a tremendous amount of electoral power.
  6. Launch a massive, heavily funded lawfare campaign to change state voting laws that legalize mass mail-in ballots. No signature verification or proof of citizenship requirements, making it almost impossible to prove voter fraud.
  7. Lock in the permanent voting majority with campaign promises of lavish benefits and permanent privileges, enshrining generational fealty to the Democrat Party.
  8. Win elections.
  9. Entrenched single-party rule has been achieved.

Musk has now pinned the video to the top of is profile, an indication of how important he considers the issue to be. It currently has over 15 million impressions and rapidly rising.

Last week, Musk explained in his own words how Democrats weaponize illegal immigration after the Senate had unanimously voted down an amendment to stop illegal aliens from being counted in apportionment for congressional districts and the Electoral College.

Since illegals are mostly in Democrat states, both the House and the Presidential vote are shifted ~5% to the left, which is enough to change the entire balance of power,” he said at the time. “This is a major reason why the Biden administration is ushering in record levels of illegals and doing so few deportations.”

 

Dr. Peter Navarro Releases Statement After Supreme Court Denies His Bid to Stay Out of Prison — Expected to Surrender in Miami Prison Today   By Jim Hft

Mar. 19, 2024 7:00 am – The Supreme Court has turned down former Trump advisor Peter Navarro’s effort to stay out of jail, clearing the way for him to start a four-month prison sentence. He will be the first high-ranking Trump aide to be imprisoned by the Biden Regime.

Chief Justice John Roberts issued a succinct order dismissing Navarro’s plea to delay his incarceration, which is set to begin today, March 19, at a federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Miami.

Navarro, who served as a trade advisor under former President Donald Trump, was convicted of contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with a subpoena issued by Liz Cheney’s sham January 6 investigation, a crime also committed by Hunter Biden. In January, he was sentenced to four months in prison.

Last week, a federal appeals court denied Navarro’s request to remain out of jail.

The three-judge panel – all Obama appointees – included Judges Patricia Millett, Cornelia Pillard and Robert Wilkins.

“[T]he argument presupposes that privilege has actually been invoked in this case in some manner by the President,” the judges wrote in a two-page order, according to Politico. “That did not happen here.”

On Monday, Justice Roberts, writing for the Supreme Court, stated that the lower court found Navarro had forfeited his right to request bail while his appeal is pending under the Bail Reform Act.

The court of appeals had determined that Navarro was still required to appear before Congress and provide answers to questions that fell outside the scope of his asserted executive privilege.

“[This is] the first time in our nation’s history [that] a senior presidential advisor has been convicted of contempt of Congress after asserting executive privilege over a congressional subpoena.” Roberts said, adding that Navarro was “still obligated to appear before Congress and answer questions seeking information outside the scope of the asserted privilege.”

“I see no basis to disagree with the determination that Navarro forfeited those arguments,” Roberts added.

In a statement released to The Gateway Pundit, Navarro expressed his concerns about the implications of his case on the constitutional separation of powers and the future of executive privilege.

He highlighted the partisan aspects of his legal battles, pointing to the involvement of a Democrat-controlled Congress, the Justice Department, and judges appointed during the Obama administration in what he described as a railroad to prison.

“Justice Roberts took care to note that his reason for denial was “distinct from [my] pending appeal on the merits.”  That appeal on the merits will continue and if I fail in that appeal – after nonetheless serving my full prison term — the constitutional separation of powers will be irreparably damaged and the doctrine of executive privilege dating back to George Washington will cease to function as an important safeguard for effective presidential decision-making.  There is much at stake here and it is worth the fight,” Navarro told The Gateway Pundit.

“The partisan nature of the imprisoning of a top senior White House aide should chill the bones of every American.  In Joe Biden’s weaponized justice system, a Democrat controlled Congress and Justice Department together with an Obama-appointed District Judge and three Obama-appointed Appeals Court judges drove the Navarro railroad right into prison.  If anybody thinks these partisans and politicians in robes aren’t coming for Donald Trump, they must think twice now,” he added.

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

 

“THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED”: Trump Says Jews Who Vote Democrat Hate Israel  By Ben Kew

Mar. 19, 2024 7:30 am – Donald Trump criticized Jews who support the Democratic Party on Monday, accusing them of betraying both Israel and their religious roots.

Trump, who is a staunch supporter of Israel, made the comments during an interview with Dr. Sebastian Gorka when asked about the growing rift between Democrats and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“I actually think they hate Israel,” Trump told Gorka. “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion … They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.”

The comments triggered his opponents, who predictably accused him of being anti-semitic.

“Accusing Jews of hating their religion because they might vote for a particular party is defamatory & patently false,” wrote the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt. “Serious leaders who care about the historic US-Israel alliance should focus on strengthening, rather than unraveling, bipartisan support for the State of Israel.”

Meanwhile, Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson James Singer used the opportunity to compare Trump to Hitler and revive the “very fine people” hoax during the white nationalist march in Charlottesville back in 2017.

“Donald Trump openly demeans Jewish Americans and reportedly thinks Adolf Hitler ‘did some good things,’” Singer told Politico. “He has said the only people he wants counting his money are ‘short guys wearing yarmulkes,’ and praised neo-Nazis who chanted ‘Jews will not replace us’ as ‘very fine people.’”

Last September, Trump shared a flier on Truth Social urging liberal Jews to “make better choices” moving forward.

“Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America [and] Israel because you believed false narratives. “Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward! Happy New Year!” the flier reads.

Nevertheless, Trump is widely regarded as leading the most pro-Israel administration in history. Netanyahu himself has described him as the “best friend that Israel and the Jewish people ever had in the White House.”

 

Supreme Court Declines to Consider Case of Indiana Couple Who Lost Custody of ‘Transgender’ Teen Son for Refusing to Use Female Pronouns   By Cassandra Macdonald

Mar. 19, 2024 7:45 am – The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case from an Indiana couple who lost custody of their “transgender” teenage son for refusing to use female pronouns.

The court rejected the case without providing any commentary or a reason why.

As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Mary and Jeremy Cox, who are Catholic, opted to bring their son to therapy when he decided he wanted to be a girl in 2019.

Becket Legal, who is representing the Cox family, explained in a press release, “Because of their religious belief that God creates human beings with immutable sex—male or female—they could not refer to him using pronouns and a name inconsistent with his biology. The Coxes also believed that he needed help for underlying mental health concerns, including an eating disorder.”

“To address both issues, they provided therapeutic care for their child’s gender dysphoria and scheduled appointments with a specialist to help him with the eating disorder. In 2021, Indiana began investigating the Coxes after a report that they were not referring to their child by his preferred gender identity. Indiana then removed the teen from the parents’ custody and placed him in a home that would affirm his preferred identity.”

The state did not find evidence of abuse — but claimed the couple’s non-acceptance of their son’s gender identity was harmful to the child’s mental health.

“If this can happen in Indiana, it can happen anywhere. Tearing a child away from loving parents because of their religious beliefs, which are shared by millions of Americans, is an outrage to the law, parental rights, and basic human decency,” said Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket. “If the Supreme Court doesn’t take this case, how many times will this happen to other families?”

In a statement responding to the Supreme Court’s rejection, the Cox family said, “We can’t change the past, but we will continue to fight for a future where parents of faith can raise their children without fear of state officials knocking on their doors.”

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said in a statement, “We always protect parental rights and religious liberty. Neither we nor the Indiana courts believe that the State can remove a child because of a parent’s religious beliefs, views about gender identity, or anything of the sort.”

Rokita claimed that the teenager’s eating disorder was the basis for removal.  [Emphasis added]

 

Reelected in a Landslide, Putin Says Russia Will Create a ‘Buffer’ Security Zone In Ukraine to Shield It From Ukrainian Attacks   By Paul Serran

Mar. 19, 2024 10:30 am – Russian President Vladimir Putin has been reelected in a landslide victory in an election with big turnout, so he comes fortified into a new phase of the war in Ukraine.

While celebrating 10 years of the return of Crimea to Russian rule, Putin said that Moscow ‘will not relent’ in Ukraine, and plans to create a buffer zone to protect itself against long-range Ukrainian strikes and cross-border raids.

Associated Press reported:

“The Kremlin’s forces have made battlefield progress as Kyiv’s troops struggle with a severe shortage of artillery shells and exhausted front-line units after more than two years of war. The front line stretches over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) across eastern and southern Ukraine.

Advances have been slow and costly, and Ukraine has increasingly used its long-range firepower to hit oil refineries and depots deep inside Russia. Also, groups claiming to be Ukraine-based Russian opponents of the Kremlin have launched cross-border incursions.

‘We will be forced at some point, when we consider it necessary, to create a certain ‘sanitary zone’ on the territories controlled by the (Ukrainian government)’, Putin said late Sunday. This ‘security zone would be quite difficult to penetrate using the foreign-made strike assets at the enemy’s disposal’.”

Having secured his fifth six-year term, Putin talked about the goals in Ukraine.

“Putin again warned the West against deploying troops to Ukraine. A possible conflict between Russia and NATO would put the world ‘a step away’ from World War III, he said.

[…] Commenting on the prospects for peace talks with Kyiv, Putin reaffirmed that Russia remains open to negotiations but won’t be lured into a truce that will allow Ukraine to rearm.”

 

Michigan Lawyer Stefanie Lambert Arrested by US Marshals in DC Following Court Appearance — After Submitting “Evidence of Numerous Crimes” Including Internal Emails from Dominion Voting Systems to Law Enforcement   By Jim Hft

Mar. 19, 2024 8:15 am – Michigan attorney Stefanie Lambert Junttila was arrested in Washington, D.C., on Monday following a court hearing after she gave the “evidence of numerous crimes” to law enforcement containing internal emails from Dominion Voting Systems, AP reported.

Lambert attended a court hearing in Washington, D.C., for a defamation case involving Patrick Byrne, whom she represents. Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock, is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems over his claims of election fraud.

Lambert’s arrest occurred after it was revealed that she had leaked confidential documents from Dominion to Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, who has been actively investigating claims of voter fraud from the 2020 election, according to CNN.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf has made a bold move by sending a letter to U.S. Representative Jim Jordan, urging a congressional investigation into what he claims as evidence of “foreign interference” in the 2020 election.

Sheriff Leaf alleges that electronic voting machines were accessed by foreign nationals across the United States, including Michigan, to manipulate election results.

As Lambert’s hearing concluded, the judge requested her to remain behind while the other attorneys exited. Federal marshals entered the courtroom afterward, and Lambert was not seen leaving.

According to former Michigan candidate for Attorney General and constitutional attorney Matt DePerno, Lambert “was arrested on an open bench warrant for failing to appear at a show cause hearing because she refused to get fingerprinted.”

The U.S. Marshals Service later confirmed Lambert’s arrest, linking it to her failure to appear in court for her separate Michigan criminal case, according to CNN.

During the hearing, Lambert admitted to passing the Dominion materials to Sheriff Leaf, asserting that she was reporting a crime to law enforcement. She has been vocal about her claims, suggesting that foreign nationals interfered with the election.

Lambert’s stance has been made clear through her social media, where she has stated, “I gave the evidence to law enforcement. The discovery (file from Dominion) contained evidence of numerous crimes. The Constitution does not permit secret Serbians to run our elections. Local clerks are to run our elections, & transparency is prevented by vendors (Dominion).”

 

Obama-Appointed Judge Rules Illegal Immigrants Can Carry Guns in the U.S.   By Jim Hft

Mar. 19, 2024 8:30 am – U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, appointed by Barack Obama, ruled that an illegal immigrant has the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  [Emphasis added]

This ruling came about in the case of Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who faced charges under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), a federal statute that prohibits noncitizens without legal status in the U.S. from “possess[ing] in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.”

Carbajal-Flores, who has been living in the United States illegally, was charged after he was found to be carrying a gun in Chicago during the civil unrest in the spring of 2020.

He and his lawyers have fought the charge, arguing that the gun was for self-defense and citing a Supreme Court ruling on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, that New York’s law was unconstitutional and that the ability to carry a pistol in public was a constitutional right.

On March 8, Judge Coleman concurred with Carbajal-Flores’ defense, stating that his nonviolent history and adherence to the conditions of his pretrial release demonstrated he did not pose a public safety risk.

The judge’s ruling claims that the statute under which Carbajal-Flores was charged does not align with the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation and, therefore, cannot be used to strip him of his Second Amendment rights.

“The government argues that Carbajal-Flores is a noncitizen who is unlawfully present in this country. The court notes, however, that Carbajal-Flores has never been convicted of a felony, a violent crime, or a crime involving the use of a weapon. Even in the present case, Carbajal-Flores contends that he received and used the handgun solely for self-protection and protection of property during a time of documented civil unrest in the Spring of 2020,”  Judge Coleman wrote.

“The Court finds that Carbajal-Flores’ criminal record, containing no improper use of a weapon, as well as the non-violent circumstances of his arrest do not support a finding that he poses a risk to public safety such that he cannot be trusted to use a weapon responsibly and should be deprived of his Second Amendment right to bear arms in self-defense. Thus, this Court finds that, as applied to Carbajal-Flores, Section 922(g)(5) is unconstitutional,” Coleman added.

“The noncitizen possession statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores. Thus, the Court grants Carbajal-Flores’ motion to dismiss,” Judge Coleman ordered.

Critics argue that it sets a dangerous precedent that undermines public safety.

X user, The Patriot Voice, wrote, “I want you to read that again SLOWLY, and tell me how we are NOT being set up for some serious action on our own soil with ARMED FOREIGN INVADERS. This is a COMMUNIST ruling, which is sure to PURPOSELY embolden criminals that are coming over our border by the MILLIONS. VERY SCARY TIMES.”

Another user commented, “I don’t want to hear one more liberal crying about guns and banning them, not after the illegal army Biden brought in just got the go sign to get locked and loaded. Whatever your view of guns is, you can’t possibly think this will end anyway other than bad.”

Another said, “I’m a federal felon and I find it ludicrous that I don’t have a second amendment anymore but someone who breaks federal immigration law, gets to have a second amendment.”

Woman Arrested Following a Squatter Standoff in Her Million-Dollar Family Residence in Queens, New York  (VIDEO)   By Jim Hft

Mar. 19, 2024 9:15 am – A distressing scene unfolded at a million-dollar home in Flushing, Queens that was captured on video by ABC7 NY.

Adele Andaloro, the homeowner, found herself handcuffed and arrested following a standoff with individuals who illegally occupied her family residence.

The conflict began when Andaloro inherited the home after her parents’ death. While preparing the property for sale, she was shocked to discover the locks had been changed and strangers were living inside.

“It’s not fair that I, as the homeowner, have to be going through this,” Adele Andaloro said.

“I’m really fearful that these people are going to get away with stealing my home,” she added.

 

Florida Synagogue and Jewish Community Center Set Aflame in Arson Attack   By Pamela Geller

March 18, 2024 – This received no media coverage in keeping with the media silence about the escalation in violence and hate against Jews. But if a mosque were set alight, there would be insane pandemonium.

Florida Chabad synagogue and community center set aflame in arson   By Michael Starr, Jerusalem Post, March 18, 2024:

The Florida Las Olas Chabad Jewish Center was ravaged by a fire in an act of arson early Saturday morning, causing damage to the synagogue, Hebrew school, and community center, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue and Las Olas Chabad said.

Story continues below advertisement

The Chabad Center said in statements on Sunday night that the fire was deliberately and intentionally set.

“It was a clearly targeted attack on our facility and our Community,” said the Chabad.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported that police were not investigating the incident as a hate crime. The alleged arsonist, Scott Hannaford, 50, was a transient who had previously trespassed on the property, according to the report. Hannaford has been charged with arson, criminal mischief, and possession of cocaine.

Fire Rescue said on Saturday on social media that the fire started with a vehicle next to the building

Las Olas Chabad said that just on Friday night, as the Jewish Sabbath began, they “sat in the shul surrounded by our Hebrew School students and families, we were filled with pride! We were horrifyingly awakened Shabbos morning to the news of the Shul burning!”

Supreme Court To Rule on Free Speech, Our Most Cherished, Fundamental Freedom   By Pamela Geller 

March 18, 2024 – The legal gymnastics and perverted logic that these allegedly great legal minds are going to argue before the court is of no import, this is not a complex legal issue. The Supreme Court, by definition, is the ultimate appellate jurisdiction over questions of U.S. constitutional issues. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, the first – not the second, third or eighth – is first because it’s  the foundation of our constitutional republic.

Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.

Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others.

Inoffensive speech needs no protection. The First Amendment was developed precisely in order to protect speech that was offensive to some, in order to prevent those who had power from claiming they were offended by speech opposing them and silencing the powerless.

Epstein Accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell Out of the ‘Snake Pit’, Into a Cushy Wing of Tallahassee FCI – Convicted Sex Trafficker Awaits Appeal While Writing Her Memoirs   By Paul Serran

Mar. 18, 2024 6:40 pm – Convicted of sex trafficking and multiple counts of conspiracy, disgraced British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is living the expectation of her bid on appeals court to overturn her 20-year sentence.

But even in case it is not successful, federal prisoner 02879-509 already has something to celebrate in Florida’s Tallahassee FCI.

While she wouldn’t be eligible for release until July 2037, at least she managed to get transferred out of the jail’s squalid B South unit where 120 inmates are crammed into tiny cubicles of four bunks, nicknamed the ‘snake pit’.

Daily Mail reported:

As NY AG Letitia James Launches the Globalist War on Beef, a Survival Company CEO Fights Back

“Insiders say fights and bullying are routine as convicts squabble over what to watch on TV and face long lines to use phones and computers. But Maxwell’s cushy new digs in D South – the so-called ‘honor dorm’ – are reserved for 30 to 40 of the low-security Florida lockup’s best-behaved prisoners.

There are two bunks per cell but so few occupants that the disgraced British socialite, 62, is almost guaranteed to have her own room as well as four times the storage.”

A prison source in the Florida prison:

“‘The conditions in D South are more like the sort of thing Maxwell will have experienced when she attended boarding school as a young girl. Everything is well-ordered, there’s less problems, less drama, fights are unheard of. Everyone gets along because they are so happy to be there.”

Maxwell’s defense argues that she should never have been tried for grooming Epstein’s victims because of a provision in the pedophile’s 2008 sweetheart plea deal.

FCI Tallahassee has often been portrayed as a ‘Club Fed,’ where inmates can learn new languages, enjoy yoga classes, and take part in softball tournaments.

“But conditions in the aging federal facility are far from fancy for the approximately 750 women and 300 men in a small satellite unit, with a recent inspection uncovering rodent infestations, rotting food and walls smeared with filth.”

Maxwell’s defense argues that she should never have been tried for grooming Epstein’s victims because of a provision in the pedophile’s 2008 sweetheart plea deal.

A series of misadventures have befallen her, from inmates trying to shake her down to others complaining she didn’t shower and stank, up until her complaints about a trans cellmate having ‘noisy sex’ in the bunk above her.

“Maxwell has also made enemies with the staff by constantly filing misconduct allegations, accusing guards, cleaners and pastors of everything from sexual harassment to discriminating against her Jewish faith.”

She is happy in the new unit, but overlooked inmates are really mad she ‘jumped the line.’

Maxwell has been writing a tell-all memoir from behind bars to combat what she describes as ‘misinformation’ about her ties to Epstein’s sick grooming empire. […] Federal inmates are prohibited from cutting publishing deals but there’s nothing to prevent her from writing a ‘private manuscript’ and mailing it to a lawyer or loved one for distribution.”

US Justice Alito Blasts US Government and Facebook “Partnership”—The Government Treats Big Tech “like subordinates”Because They Have “Section 230 and anti-trust in its pocket”   [VIDEO]   By Patty Mcmurray

Mar. 18, 2024 6:20 pm – Today, the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Murthy v. Missouri Supreme Court free speech case.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, which concerns communications between federal government officials and social media companies on their content moderation policies and whether this amounts to government suppression or speech censorship. Missouri, Louisiana, and five individuals filed suit arguing that the federal government violated their First Amendment speech rights by influencing social media companies to censor their posts related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 elections.

In a tweet this morning, Senator Rand Paul called the case the most consequential free speech case in U.S. history. He tweeted, “This isn’t just about social media companies; it’s a critical examination of government overreach. The Biden administration and FBI’s efforts to influence Big Tech into silencing dissent tramples on the 1st Amendment. Our focus must be on preventing government censorship, not compelling private entities to actq1 as censors. This case could redefine our free speech.”

Earlier today, we shared excerpts from oral arguments made by US Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, whose comments about the First Amendment rocked social media.

“My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways at the most important time. I mean, what would you have the government do? She asked the Lousiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguinaga.

I’ve heard you say a couple of times that the government can post its own speech, but in my hypothetical, you know, kids, this is not safe. Don’t do it is not gonna get it done. So, I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government, encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information.”

This is the most horrifying thing I’ve ever heard from a Supreme Court Justice.

Ketanji Brown-Jackson is concerned that the First Amendment is making it harder for the government to censor speech.

That’s literally the entire point.pic.twitter.com/oqBwVZQB0l

In one of the most blistering exchanges in today’s oral arguments, US Justice Samuel Alito appeared to be admonishing the federal government for treating social media platforms like their subordinates.”

In his comments, Justice Alito referenced the “exchange between the White House and other federal officials and Facebook in particular, but also some of the other platforms.” He continued, “And I see that, uh, the White House and other federal officials are repeatedly saying that Facebook and the federal government should be partners—we are on the same team —officials are demanding answers—I want an answer—I want it right away! And when they’re unhappy, they curse them out!  There are regular meetings there—and the constant pestering of Facebook and some of the other platforms—and they wanna have regular meetings, and they suggest rules that should be applied—and tell us everything that you do so we can help you, and we can look it over. And I thought, WOW!  I cannot imagine federal officials taking that approach to the print media or representatives over there. If you did that to them, what do you think the reaction would be? And I thought, you know, the only reason why this is taking place is because the federal government has got Section 230 and anti-trust in its pocket. And it’s to mix my metaphors— and it’s got these big clubs available to it. And so it’s treating these platforms like their subordinates. Would you do that to the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal or the Associated Press or any other big newspaper or wire service?” he asked US Principal Deputy Solicitor General Brian Fletcher, who was defending the censorship practices of the government and big tech, using the so-called “once in a lifetime pandemic” as an excuse.

 

Just In: Barack Obama Caught on Video Entering Home of UK Prime Minister—Why?   By Patty Mcmurray

Mar. 18, 2024 1:00 pm – The answer is becoming increasingly clear for anyone wondering how Joe Biden is performing his daily duties as “President of the United States.” It appears as though surrogates who were previously working behind the curtain are coming out of hiding, possibly to assure Democrats that despite Joe Biden’s obvious mental limitations, the old guard, anti-American radicals who’ve been running the party for almost two decades, are still in control.

Only moments ago, former President Barack Obama was captured on video walking up to the official residence of Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing Street in London.

 

BLOODBATH: Libs of TikTok Triggers Panic at Planet Fitness Over Trans Row, Stock Price Down and Mass Cancellations  By Ben Kew

Mar. 18, 2024 3:40 pm – The popular X account Libs of TikTok, run by conservative activist Chaya Raichik, is claiming she has caused a “bloodbath” at the popular gym chain Planet Fitness after details of their radical pro-trans policy emerged.

Last week, Raichik revealed that the company was allowing biological males to change and even shave in female dressing rooms and has threatened to terminate the membership of anyone who complains.

Yet after Raichik raised the alarm, people began to take action and started canceling their memberships.

Raichik wrote on her website:

Since Libs of TikTok’s reporting, #BoycottPlanetFitness is trending on X and Planet Fitness stock has TANKED by nearly 7%. A Planet Fitness Insider has even reached out and told me there is internal panic at the company and mass membership cancellations. Now that is a real “BLOODBATH.”

Many popular accounts have also circulated the hashtag #BoycottPlanetFitness, a trend that will likely exacerbate the company’s losses:

SHOWTIME! Gateway Pundit at the Supreme Court TODAY for Oral Arguments in Murthy, et al v. Missouri, et al, Case No. 23-411 – The most Important Free Speech Case in American History  By Jim Hoft

Mar. 18, 2024 8:00 am – Today, the US Supreme Court will hear arguments from The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft , the state of Missouri, the state of LouisianaDr. Jay BhattacharyaDr. Martin KulldorffAaron Kheriaty, and Jill Hines (“Free Speech Plaintiffs”) in arguments against the Biden Administration and an army of government agencies.

Before all of the appeals, the case originally started after the States of Missouri and Louisiana, joined by The Gateway Pundit and the other individuals, noted above, alleged that the Biden White House and DOZENS of federal officials and agencies were conspiring with and/ or coercing Social Media Companies such as Facebook, Twitter and others to censor the speech of MILLIONS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS, particularly during COVID and the lead-up to and aftermath of the 2020 Presidential Election.

Evidence clearly showed – and even Mark Zuckerberg admitted that the FBI pressured Facebook to take down the Hunter Biden laptop story – in true Fascist manner, the Feds worked with or otherwise demanded that Big Tech police the speech that they disagreed with and that went against the government’s approved party dogma.

The Gateway Pundit and the other Plaintiffs initially sought out a preliminary injunction and were able to acquire a substantial amount of evidence in support of that injunction.  You may recall that, probably not coincidentally, on July 4, 2023, Federal Judge Terry Doughty issued an order granting Gateway Pundit, et al’s motion for the preliminary injunction, preventing the government from working with Big Tech to censor Americans’ speech while the full lawsuit was being battled (likely to be a multi-year period).  The government immediately appealed this Order to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that the injunction was improper and that the plaintiffs lacked the proper authority to challenge government action.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals substantially agreed with the good guys, and the scheming government tyrants were left with no choice but to appeal their case yet again  – this time to the Supreme Court of the United States.

All of the written arguments on both sides have now been submitted.

Today, the champions for each side will make their case at oral arguments in-person, before the assembled Supreme Court.

Gateway Pundit founder and publisher Jim Hoft and Gateway Pundit attorney John Burns will be present at the oral arguments and will give a first hand reporting of the events from the steps of the Supreme Court immediately after oral arguments conclude.

Last week, Jim Hoft interviewed the other individual free speech plaintiff-respondents in the Murthy v. Missouri case.

See HERE for the interview with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

See HERE for the interview with Dr. Martin Kulldorff.

See HERE for the interview with Aaron Kheriaty.

See HERE for the interview with Ms. Jill Hines.

Each of these individuals is a spectacular advocate for the First Amendment and freedom from tyranny. We hope you can take the opportunity to watch these highly inspiring interviews, which offer firsthand accounts of some exceptional Americans who have and continue to fight against government censorship and oppression.

FREEDOM ISN’T FREE – and neither is fighting tyrants.  The Gateway Pundit needs your help. PLEASE DONATE TO GATEWAY PUNDIT’S legal fund to help our fight against illegal censorship – both governmental AND private.

We rarely ask for donations for ourselves at TGP. Please help us to continue our fight for truth.

 

A California Synagogue Leased Space to a Muslim Group, Telling Members They Had an Obligation To ‘Strengthen the Bonds’ Between Communities. Things Went South From There.  Adam Kredo

Hamakom synagogue leased space to Islamic group and covered up pictures of Israeli hostages

March 18, 2024 – A California synagogue axed its leadership and is struggling to retain members after leasing its facility to a Muslim group that brought in an anti-Israel speaker who compared Israel to Nazi Germany.

Hamakom synagogue, a conservative congregation of around 900 families located in an upscale Los Angeles suburb, says it was trying to ease tensions between the Jewish and Muslim communities when it decided to lease its space this month to the Islamic Society of West Valley, a neighboring Muslim faith group that needed space to hold services during the holy month of Ramadan.

Hamakom entered into an agreement with the Islamic Society that allowed it to take over the synagogue’s main campus, pushing Jewish members onto a smaller satellite branch. In anticipation of the lease’s commencement, the synagogue’s leadership covered up pictures of Israeli hostages captured by Hamas during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel, according to photographs reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, sparking anger among Jewish congregants.

Soon after the Islamic Society began using Hamakom’s facility, it hosted anti-Israel activist Hussam Ayloush, who said last year that Israel did not have a right to defend itself following the Oct. 7 attack and compared Israel to Nazi Germany. The invite led many Jewish members threaten to resign from the shul, according to internal emails viewed by the Free Beacon, and prompted Hamakom to sever its rental contract with the Islamic Society within days of inking it.

Hamakom’s two copresidents have now resigned from their posts and the synagogue is promising a “thorough internal review to understand the missteps taken and to implement corrective measures,” according to a statement from rabbis Stewart Vogel and Richard Camras. The incident comes as Jewish communities in America face rising anti-Semitism across the country.

It’s The Perfect Storm: Drivers Licenses for Illegals + Noncitizens Voting + Mail-in Ballots + Private Funding of Elections + Partisan Hack SOSs   By Patty Mcmurray

The Perfect Storm Explained: Drivers Licenses for Illegals + Noncitizen Voting + Mail-in Ballots + Private Funding of Elections + Partisan Hack SOSs

Mar. 17, 2024 6:30 pm – Does undocumented immigrant mean illegal alien?

If you hesitated before answering yes, you are a victim of progressive doublespeak. Undocumented immigrants are illegal aliens. Noncitizens, whether here legally or illegally, are not allowed to vote in our nation’s elections. It’s a felony for noncitizens to vote, and the U.S. and state constitutions clearly prohibit foreigners from voting. Even so, “The Department of Justice appears to be using taxpayer dollars to have jails and the U.S. Marshals Service encourage incarcerated felons and noncitizens to register to vote,” stated a letter to the DOJ from Mississippi’s leading election official, Secretary of State Michael Watson (R).

Secretary Watson’s letter, dated March 6, to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland also said,

“It is quite shocking, in the midst of a crisis at our southern border and an unprecedented crime wave, that the Biden administration has chosen to expend tax dollars and vital law enforcement resources on a program that risks bloating state voter rolls with ineligible and non-citizen voters.”

Illegal Alien Caught at Border Admits He is a Hezbollah Terrorist, Said “I’m Going to Try to Make a Bomb”   By David Greyson

Mar. 17, 2024 5:30 pm – An illegal alien from Lebanon who admitted to being a Hezbollah terrorist was caught at the US border near El Paso, Texas.

22-year-old Basel Bassel Ebbadi was apprehended by Border Patrol on March 9th. After being questioned, he told authorities, “I’m going to try to make a bomb.”

He intended to go to New York to carry out his plans.

He also confessed that he trained with the terrorist organization Hezbollah for many years and was an active member involved with guarding weapons.

New York Post reported:

A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he’s a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York, The Post can reveal.

Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by border patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. While in custody he asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied: “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” according to a Border Patrol document exclusively obtained by The Post.

In a subsequent sworn interview, Ebbadi said he had trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served as an active member guarding weapons locations for another four years, according to internal ICE documents.

“Ebbadi’s training focused on ‘jihad’ and killing people ‘that was not Muslim,’ he said, according to the New York Post.

EUROPEAN FARMERS REVOLT: EU Commission Caves Again to Farmers, Proposes to Scrap More Crippling ‘Green’ Policies   By Paul Serran

Mar. 17, 2024 11:20 am – The great European Farmers Revolt is generating very real results after months of intense mobilization in many countries, with mass protests, roadblocks, attacks on cheap unregulated Ukrainian grain, blockade of ports, a veritable siege of the EU headquarters in Brussels with agricultural workers spraying liquid manure at the police and politicians.

Who doesn’t remember France’s Emmanuel Macron chased by farmers inside the Paris Agriculture Fair? Priceless.

Here at The Gateway Pundit, we have been closely following this process, trying to counter the MSM narrative and show how these protests are legitimate reactions against climate lunacy in the EU.

In Germany: GERMAN STANDSTILL – Major Farmers’ Protest and Railway Strike Freeze Europe’s Powerhouse – Rightwing AfD Surging on Polls, on the Verge of Gaining Power

In Spain: WATCH: Massive Farmers’ Demonstration in Madrid Against Failed and Crippling EU ‘Green’ Policies and Regulations

In Poland: WATCH: Massive General Strike Takes Polish Farmers to Warsaw – Clashes With Riot Police – Globalist Tusk Government and EU Commission Cave, Will Regulate Cheap Ukrainian Grain

In France: WATCH: Angry French Farmers Invade Paris Agricultural Fair, Clash With Police, Chant for Macron To Resign

In Belgium: 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)

Now, for the second time, the European Commission has proposed striking down a series of ‘green’ rules on leaving land fallow or rotating crops.

The Commission, that is the EU executive branch, will send the proposals to the 27 EU member governments and the European Parliament.

 

PSYOP-MUSK & THE GREAT RESET CONVERGENCE: SpaceX Building Global Satellite Surveillance Network for U.S. Intelligence Agency   2ND SMARTEST GUY IN THE WORLD

MAR 17, 2024 – Last week this Substack published an article linking PSYOP-MUSK to the biometric border, AI, Trump, and the usual technocrat suspects wanting to impose a Great Reset global police state:

GREAT RESET CONVERGENCE: Biometric Open Borders, Engineered Crime, AI mRNA “Vaccines,” Food Supply Sabotage, Permanent Martial Law & 15 Minute Cities

MAR 13 – PSYOP-MUSK has recently, for all intents and purposes, become a staunch Trump supporter ahead of the 2024 election. We know as per the above article that Trump will be pushing the biometric border wall (instead of building an actual wall that keeps invaders out) which will serve as nothing more than a rollout of an all-pervasive biometric spy grid to ensnare all Americans, which is precisely why PSYOP-MUSK has been activated to busily post on X the following:

Israeli PM Netanyahu Slams Chuck Schumer’s ‘Totally Inappropriate’ Remarks, Urges Him to Stop Meddling   By Ben Kew

Mar. 17, 2024 1:40 pm – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has slammed Chuck Schumer’s remarks about his leadership as “totally inappropriate” after the Senate Majority Leader called for him to step down.

During a speech on the Senate floor this week, Schumer suggested that Israel should have fresh elections in order to find a new leader.

“The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after October 7,” Schumer declared. “The world has changed, radically, since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past.”

‘Gloves Off’: Democrat Tennessee State Senator Calls for Riots After Republican Lawmakers Pass Pro-Police Bill   (VIDEO)   By Cassandra Macdonald

Mar. 17, 2024 12:00 pm – A Democrat Tennesssee state senator has called for riots after Republican lawmakers passed a pro-police bill.

State Sen. Charlane Oliver was responding to the passing of legislation that prevents cities from restricting police officers from making certain types of traffic stops.

Speaking to the press on Friday, Oliver, co-founder of the social justice warrior activist group “the Equity Alliance,” vowed that “we’re gonna fight.”

“So yeah, we’re gonna fight,” Oliver said. “Dr. King said the riots are the language of the unheard. You [sic] ain’t seen nothing yet. If you keep silencing us like this, what do you think our districts [sic] gonna do?”

[Ed.:  ‘Cause and Effect’.  This is Democrat logic.  You don’t like having police, or what was voted for, you riot! (Their ‘riots’ are already caught and paid for, anyway.)   We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Badges]

 

Planet Fitness Bans Woman for Taking Photo of ‘Transgender’ Biological Man Shaving in Women’s Locker Room    By Cassandra Macdonald

Mar. 17, 2024 12:40 pm – Planet Fitness has banned a woman for taking a photo of a “transgender” biological man shaving in the women’s locker room at a Fairbanks, Alaska, location.

The gym chain has stood by its decision, saying that a member’s “discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.”

Patricia Silva said she was in the locker room on Monday when she saw a “man with a penis” shaving in front of a 12-year-old girl in a towel who was sitting on a bench and looking uncomfortable.

“I just came out of Planet Fitness. There is a man shaving in the women’s bathroom. I love him in Christ,” Silva wrote in a post on Facebook. “He is a spiritual being having a human experience. He doesn’t like his gender so he wants to be a woman, but I’m not comfortable with him shaving in my bathroom. I just thought I’d say it out loud.”

Silva’s posts continued, “I went to planet fitness… Walked in the bathroom, and there stands a MAN shaving… I looked at him, said ‘hey’ … he looked up… and I said, ‘You are a man shaving in the women’s bathroom, and I am not OK with that.”

“He replied… ‘Well, I’m LGB…,” the post said. “Whatever that is… nevertheless, I told him ‘You’re a MAN and you’re invading my space!’”

“He wanted to argue to justify why he can be there… I walked away…” Silva wrote. “I stepped out of the locker room and loudly asked the front desk, ‘Are you aware that there is a MAN shaving in the women’s bathroom… I’m not OK with that ⁉️’ The two men standing at the desk, put their heads down, and their tails between their legs! As I was walking out the door…at my back, a woman shouts ‘it’s a girl’… I shouted back ‘it’s a man!’”

Planet Fitness told Fox News that Silva had violated the rules by photographing in a locker room.

“As the home of the Judgement Free Zone, Planet Fitness is committed to creating an inclusive environment,” Planet Fitness chief corporate affairs officer McCall Gosselin said in a statement to Fox News. “Our gender identity non-discrimination policy, states that members and guests may use the gym facilities that best align with their sincere, self-reported gender identity. The member who posted on social media violated our mobile device policy that prohibits taking photos of individuals in the locker room, which resulted in their membership being terminated.”

An inexplicable wave of leprosy hits the southeastern US…just as prophecy predicted   ADAM ELIYAHU BERKOWITZ

“The Kohen shall examine the affection on the skin of his body: if hair in the affected patch has turned white and the affection appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous affection; when the Kohen sees it, he shall pronounce him unclean.”    LEVITICUS 13:3  (THE ISRAEL BIBLE)

MARCH 17, 2024  BIBLICAL NEWS – Scientists can’t explain the source of a wave of leprosy that is cropping up in the southeastern US. But kabbalists are looking to an esoteric source describing the disease as an end-of-times punishment for evil angels and their celestial allies. The malady is prophesied to precede extreme hyperinflation that will leave the US penniless.

A recent article in The Conversation reported a surge in cases of leprosy in the US. In an interview with  Robert A. Schwartz, professor and head of dermatology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, it was reported that leprosy, also known as Hansen’s Disease, is beginning to occur regularly within parts of the southeastern United States, most notably in Florida.

Caused by a type of bacteria called Mycobacterium leprae, the disease affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, and the eyes. Leprosy is curable and treatment in the early stages can prevent disability. Apart from the physical deformity, persons affected by leprosy also face stigmatization and discrimination.

Classified as a neglected tropical disease (NTD) , leprosy still occurs in more than 120 countries, with more than 200 000 new cases reported every year, according to the World Health Organization. But leprosy “is very rare in the United States, with less than 200 cases reported per year,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“CDC has not issued a travel advisory for Florida, or any other state, due to Hansen’s disease (leprosy),” it stated. “Most people with Hansen’s disease in the U.S. became infected in a country where it is more common. In the past, leprosy was feared as a highly contagious, devastating disease, but now we know that it’s hard to spread and it’s easily treatable.”

To become infected with leprosy, one needs “close contact” with someone with the untreated disease “over many months,” per the CDC. “You cannot get leprosy through casual contact such as shaking hands, sitting next to, or talking to someone who has the disease,” it added, noting that “around 95% of all people cannot become sick, because they are naturally immune.”

The reduction in the number of new cases has been gradual which is why the sudden surge in the US is so troubling. The disease has been associated with contact with armadillos who carry the bacteria, making it more common in the South; however, the more recent outbreaks have not been associated with animal exposure.

Leprosy (tzaraath in Hebrew) was a major theme in the Torah and was mentioned over 20 times. The spiritual cause of this horrific physical ailment was hinted at when Miriam was stricken with tzaraat for her involvement in slandering Moses.

As the cloud withdrew from the Tent, there was Miriam stricken with snow-white scales! When Aharon turned toward Miriam, he saw that she was stricken with scales. And Aharon said to Moshe, “O my lord, account not to us the sin which we committed in our folly. Numbers 12:10

Hechalot Rabbati, an esoteric Hebrew text dating to Talmudic times, describes Rome getting Tzara’at for 6 months at the end -of–days.

“Rav said Hadraniel [an angel in Jewish Angelology assigned as gatekeeper at the second gate in heaven] stated that God has not finished counting and writing the severe punishments that will be received by the wicked Samael [the angel of death] for the revenge he received upon himself when the day of revenge is upon him.”

It is interesting to note that in Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), the letters sin (ש) and samech (ס) are interchangeable. This exchange of letters makes the word smole (שמאל) (‘left’) identical to the name Samael (סמאל).

Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, a Torah Codes expert, told Israel365 News that the left wing combines the forces of Samael with Amalek.

“Samael is the angel of Amalek. The gematria (Hebrew numerology) of Samael, 131, plus the gematria of Amalek, 240, totals 371,” Rabbi Glazerson pointed out. “This precisely equals the gematria of smole (left). The left takes its strength from both Samael and from Amalek.”

Many, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have associated Hamas with Amalek. Rabbi Glazerson’s explanation reveals the counterintuitive alliance between the left-wing and Hamas.

 

NOT ROCKET SCIENCE: Dominican Republic Seals Border With Haiti, Deports Thousands of Illegal Migrants   By Ben Kew

Mar. 17, 2024 7:45 am – The Dominican Republic is showing America and the wider world that controlling one’s borders is not rocket science.

As neighboring Haiti descends into a state of total anarchy, Dominican authorities have implemented tough security measures aimed at preventing a potential tsunami of migrants crossing the country’s border.

NBC reported:

The border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic has been closed for days as violence in Haiti dramatically escalated following a mass prison break in Port-au-Prince. But on Thursday and Friday, Haitians were allowed into a farmer’s market in the border town of Dajabón, which has a population of 25,000 and is about 120 miles from the Haitian capital.

A robust security presence is visible, with troops manning checkpoints and razor wire topping border fences. And each day, bus after bus is seen deporting Haitians who were in the Dominican Republic illegally.

Meanwhile, the BBC described how Dominican authorities are sending back thousands of undocumented Haitians as the crisis unravels:

Yet here at the border crossing, the Dominican authorities have been sending back hundreds of undocumented Haitians every day. Dominican soldiers unlock the wrought-iron doors, order out dozens, and send them across the Massacre River into Haiti.

Some of the immigrants are furious, shouting indignantly in Spanish and Creole. Others are resigned, holding their children or a few possessions in their arms.The message the Dominican Republic appears to be sending is no matter how bad things become at home, Haitians should not seek refuge on Dominican territory.

While the Dominican Republic successfully controls its borders, the U.S. is also bracing for a potential flow of Haitian migrants, in addition to the already millions of illegal aliens crossing the border each year.

Earlier this week, Pentagon official Rebecca Zimmerman told Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz during a House Armed Services Committee Hearing that they were already drawing up plans to deal with a wave of mass migration.

“I think that we need to be postured appropriately for that,” Richardson said. “I have put in a request for increased capability to do exactly that. And we are ready if we need to deal with a mass migration.”

 

Meet the MO v. Biden Plaintiffs – Jill Hines Spoke Out Against the Government COVID Regimen, So They Silenced Her – Tomorrow She Will Represent Millions of Americans in the US Supreme Court and Will Defend Our Right to Free Speech  (Video)   By Jim Hoft

Mar. 17, 2024 8:00 am – The “most important free speech case in a generation,” Missouri v. Biden (Murthy v. Missouri), is set to be heard by the Supreme Court on Monday, March 18th.

Missouri v. Biden is the case filed by the courageous Attorneys General from Missouri and Louisiana against the Biden Administration for their First Amendment violations.  Specifically, the case complains to the Court that the federal government violated the US Constitution when it specifically directed social media companies to delete and censor comments, articles, accounts, memes, and photos they disliked. The case also alleges the government engaged in a wholesale de-platforming of specific users, specific comments, and specific topics.

The government was purposefully censoring truthful information.

The scale of the censorship regime is massive.

The hearing on March 18th will be for oral arguments, which will likely last one day. The Justices will then decide the case, and if a majority agrees, they will issue an opinion on the last day of the Court’s term, typically in late June or early July. The Supreme Court agrees to hear very few cases each year, normally only 100-150 cases of over 7,000 that usually request review.

The Plaintiffs in this case include three prominent doctors, a news website, a healthcare activist, and two states.

    • Dr. Aaron Kheriaty
    • Dr. Martin Kulldorff
    • Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya
    • Jim Hoft
    • Jill Hines
    • The State of Missouri
    • The State of Louisiana
  • Last week The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft interviewed Jill Hines a health freedom activist and co-director of Health Freedom Louisiana.
    Jill Hines is the the fourth plaintiff in the MO v. Biden (Murthy v. Missouri) lawsuit that we interviewed. Jill has a similar experience as a lot of Americans. Jill challenged the official COVID narrative and guidelines and was silenced by social media and her government.
    Jill described the horrible experience she went through after her voice was silenced for offering a different opinion – in America.
    Like all of the plaintiffs, Jill was demoralized and furious by what she experienced, yet she never backed down and will be representing the American people in the Supreme Court on Monday.

Canada is Lost: Toronto Police Arrest Reporter David Menzies at Pro-Hamas Rally for Practicing Journalism   (Video)   By Margaret Flavin

Mar. 17, 2024 9:00 am – On Friday, Rebel News reporter David Menzies was arrested while trying to interview attendees at a Pro-Hamas rally in Toronto, Ontario.

According to Rebel News, the arrest comes just days after the announcement of David’s lawsuit against the RCMP “for a pattern of intimidation and exclusion following shocking displays of police brutality against David.”

Rebel News reports:

What transpired was a blatant disregard for civil liberties.

But David was in full compliance with the law. He presented his identification upon request. We have it all on camera.

Yet he was summarily apprehended and confined for exercising his right to document a public demonstration.

This is an outrageous infringement of freedom of the press and independent journalism where no offence was carried out at all and another example of the two-tiered policing that takes place every weekend.

Biden Regime Invites Hamas-Linked CAIR to the White House, Then Lies About It   By Robert Spencer 

March 16, 2024 – Every aspect of this story is bad, and each horrifying aspect is competing with the others for which can have the most negative consequences for the American people. After Jews suffered attacks in Chicago, the Biden regime reached out not to Jewish leaders, but to Muslim groups, including open supporters of Hamas. The Muslims, however, enraged at the regime’s continued (albeit hollow) support for Israel, refused to show. Then a Biden regime wonk lied brazenly and denied that one of the worst of the Muslim groups was even invited. This is the state of our staggered, sputtering republic in the fourth year of this radically anti-American and anti-democratic regime.

This latest imbroglio started when Politico reported Thursday that “Illinois leaders in the Palestinian communities angry over how President Joe Biden has handled the Middle East war have turned down a request by the White House to meet in Chicago today.” We can see who is claiming the moral high ground, and who has the upper hand. After Hamas brutally and gleefully murdered 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, Islamic groups and their leftist allies immediately began to claim victimhood at any sign of Israeli self-defense, fabricating casualty numbers before a world that was all too eager to be fooled, and even preposterously claiming that Israel was conducting a “genocide” when independent observers have dubbed the IDF “the most moral army in the world.”

Despite all that, Muslim and leftist leaders around the world know that making wild claims about Israel and affecting a posture of aggrieved victimhood can win them ready concessions from the U.S., the European Union, and the United Nations, and so they’ve been striking victim poses aggressively since Oct. 7. It has worked. The Biden regime is on its heels, desperately worried by threats from the likes of Nihad Awad of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the winsome Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah) to withhold the Muslim vote if the regime doesn’t betray Israel. And so it has been doing just that, step by step, in slow motion: $100 million to Gaza, $10 billion to Hamas’ financiers, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and ever-increasing pressure on the Netanyahu government.

Meanwhile, the regime keeps trying to placate the Muslim and Arab groups inside the U.S.: “Tom Perez, a senior adviser to the president, and other advisers had planned to sit down in three separate meetings with various Palestinian, Arab and Muslim leaders and elected officials to talk about tensions in the Middle East. The private meetings were to come on the heels of similar gatherings in Detroit.” The professional victims, however, stayed in character: “But most folks contacted turned down the request, according to six people we talked to. Any meeting being held will be with a smaller group of players.”

Not only did they refuse to meet with White House apparatchiks, but they continued to excoriate the regime for its alleged support of Israel. One Muslim spokesman declared that his group considered “anyone — Palestinian, Muslim, Arab — who takes a meeting with the White House to be an absolute sell-out.” One of those who declined to attend was Ahmed Rehab of Hamas-linked CAIR, who explained: “We believe a thousand percent in civic engagement. We preach it. But this is an unusual moment and requires an unusual response. We have made clear that a ceasefire is needed.”

 

Oh Canada: Parliament Moves To Impose Potential Life Imprisonment For Speech Crimes   by Jonathan Turley,

FRIDAY, MAR 15, 2024 – 11:50 AM – We have previously discussed the unrelenting attacks by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his allies on free speech. There has been a steady criminalization of speech, including even jokes and religious speech, in Canada. Now, the Canadian parliament is moving toward a new change that would allow the imposition of life imprisonment on those who post views deemed supportive of genocide. With a growing movement calling Israel’s war in Gaza “genocide,” the potential scope of such a law is readily apparent. That appears to be its very draw for anti-free speech advocates in the country.

The Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63 increases the potential penalties from five years to life imprisonment. It also increases the penalty for the willful promotion of hatred (a dangerously ill-defined crime) from two years to five years. The proposed changes constitute a doubling down on Canada’s commitment to reducing free speech for citizens despite criticism from many in the civil liberties community.

There is also a chilling option for house arrest if a judge believes a defendant “will commit” an offense. In other words, if a judge thinks that a citizen will be undeterred and try to speak freely again.

Justice Minister Arif Virani employed the same hysteria to convince citizens to surrender their freedoms to the government. He expressed how terrified he was with the potential of free speech, stating that he is “terrified of the dangers that lurk on the internet for our children.”

It is not likely to end there.

Today the rationale is genocide. However, once the new penalties are in place, a host of other groups will demand similar treatment for those with opposing views on their own causes.

This law already increased the penalties for anything deemed hateful speech.

The law comes after Canada blocked a Russian dissident from becoming a citizen because of her violation of Russian anti-free speech laws.

In a telling act, the government said that the same conduct (i.e., free speech) could be a crime in Canada.

Indeed, it may now be punished even more harshly.

 

South American Gangs Target Mansions In Baltimore As Biden’s Border Crisis Spreads Chaos   BY TYLER DURDEN

FRIDAY, MAR 15, 2024 – 11:30 AM – The Biden administration’s disastrous open southern border policies have sparked a catastrophic wave of violent crime committed by illegal immigrants. This comes amid the ten million migrants that have invaded the nation, alongside recent calls from radical progressive lawmakers across crime-ridden metro areas to defund the police and limit criminal prosecution. As a result, many law-abiding Americans express growing concern about insecurity amid a new era of explosive crime and chaos.

Let’s begin with a series of news headlines that show Chilean crime gangs have been on a nationwide burglary spree, targeting wealthy neighborhoods from coast to coast:

  • NBC7 San Diego: “Chilean break-in crew is back, and burglaries are on the rise in La Jolla”
  • Fox 2 Detroit: “High-end Michigan burglaries tied to Chilean crime ring, prompts police task force”
  • NBC 10 Philadelphia: “Another Chilean man arrested as Montco targeted by ‘South American Theft Groups'”
  • ABC 7 Los Angeles: “OC judge throws out plea deal in case involving alleged Chilean burglary ring”
  • NBC 12 Scottsdale: “‘These are professionals’: Latest arrests in East Valley burglary cases tied to Chilean crime ring”
  • Oklahoma News 4: “Million-dollar OKC homes burglarized, possibly connected to Chilean crime ring”
  • ZeroHedge: “South American Gangs Target Dozens Of Mansions In Detroit”
  • AP News: “3 Chilean nationals accused of burglarizing high-end Michigan homes”
  • Vanity Fair: “Thieves in the Night: A Vast Burglary Ring From Chile Has Been Targeting Wealthy U.S. Households”

The latest crime spree these Chilean gangs went on was in wealthy neighborhoods in upper Baltimore County, Maryland.

Local media outlet The Baltimore Banner says a Chilean crime gang burglarized a number of mansions, including one on Tufton Springs Lane in Reisterstown.

On Feb. 3, Baltimore County Police arrested five suspects whom Border Patrol identified as members of a criminal organization known as the South American Theft Group. They all had Chile identification cards.

The group “targets large homes in wealthy areas of often Asian business owners. Detectives know the group to be a traveling, unsettled group who do not reside in the area where they commit their crimes. The group travels around the country committing thefts/burglaries then leave the area before they are identified or apprehended,” police wrote in charging documents.

According to charging documents, one gang member had a phone with an internet search of where to find “millionaire neighborhoods in various cities.”

Investigators also said the gang was responsible for burglaries across North Carolina, Alabama, and Oklahoma.

The unprecedented flood of illegals threatens the safety of communities across this nation. Americans overwhelmingly agree with Trump-era border policies that kept the country safe.

“Once again, honest, law-abiding citizens are being victimized by criminals who should not be in our country.  It was great work by the Baltimore County Police Department to apprehend them. Our country is overrun by groups like the South American Theft Group, and it is largely a failure of our border security. We must do all we can to keep people like this out of our country. And I am pleased that ICE has placed detainers on these 5,” Del. Nino Mangione, R-Baltimore County, said in a statement.

At the same time, Democrats are waging war on the Second Amendment by actively trying to ban guns, which will only leave law-abiding people defenseless.

Americans are demanding law and order – something Democrats and the radical progressives in the White House could not care less.

 

ANOTHER ONE: United Airlines Boeing 737 Lands at Airport with Missing Exterior Panel   By Cristina Laila

Mar. 15, 2024 7:40 pm – Another one!

A 25-year-old United Airlines Boeing 737 landed at an Airport in Oregon on Friday with a missing exterior panel.

Per CNN: United Airlines Boeing 737-800 lands safely in Medford, Oregon with an under-fuselage panel missing. United says the issue was first discovered when parked at the gate.

According to reports, the United Boeing 737 departed San Francisco Friday morning and landed safely at its destination in Medford, Oregon about an hour later with a missing exterior panel.

The missing panel was discovered during a post-flight inspection. It is unclear when the panel came off.

“After the aircraft was parked at the gate, it was discovered to be missing an external panel,” the airline said. “We’ll conduct a thorough examination of the plane and perform all the needed repairs before it returns to service.”

The FAA is investigating the latest incident.

Tyson Foods Under Fire and Boycott Calls for Replacing Hardworking Americans with Illegal Immigrants   By Jim Hft

Mar. 16, 2024 8:30 am – Tyson Foods Inc., a major player in the global meat industry, has come under intense scrutiny over allegations of terminating American workers’ employment and then favoring illegal immigrants for hiring.

The company’s recent announcement of a plant closure in Perry, Iowa, has added fuel to the ongoing controversy.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the closure of Tyson’s significant pork packing plant in Perry, Iowa, a move that pushes 1,276 employees toward unemployment.

“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our Perry, Iowa pork facility. We understand the impact of this decision on our team members and the local community,” a spokesperson said in a statement.

Taking care of our team members is our top priority and we encourage them to apply for other open roles within the company. We are also working closely with state and local officials to provide additional resources to those who are impacted.”

Perry, located in Dallas County and about 40 miles northwest of Des Moines, had a population of just over 7,800 people, according to the 2020 Census. The impact of the plant’s closure is expected to ripple through the community, affecting not only the workers but also the local economy.

This decision follows the shutdown of two chicken plants and a series of job cuts made last year.

Tyson Foods had also signaled the closure of four more facilities by mid-fiscal 2024, anticipating related costs to be in the range of 300 to 400 million, as per reports by USA Today.

Bloomberg reported that days after the mass layoff, Tyson Foods partnered with Tent Partnership for Refugees to hire thousands of illegal immigrants.

The company allegedly held a job fair in Iowa targeting immigrants while the displaced American workers are left without paychecks.

Tyson Foods is accused of creating a database with tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, offering wages of $16.50 per hour along with free legal services for immigration.

 

Report: ‘Healthcare workers’ raped innocents; UN ‘peacekeepers’ shelled civilians    by Eliyahu Tulshinski

Mar. 16, 2024 7:45 am – Healthcare rapists

As shocking as the revelations about mass rapes of women and children by UN “peacekeepers” and “teachers” may be, even more distressing is that UN employees supposedly dedicated to healthcare have carried out those very same atrocities and are led by an actual terrorist.

As Frontline News previously reported, the World Health Organization (WHO), a UN agency, is headed by a terrorist who keeps rapists and pedophiles on staff giving them the power to abuse the poorest people in the world.  He even flies these staff members to towns in the developing world, with fancy rental cars and hotel rooms waiting for them, and with far more cash than the local residents have – a perfect recipe for exploitation.

Actual terrorist at the helm

Even hardcore anti-globalists might be tempted to write off such charges as ludicrous, yet it is hard to ignore the evidence Frontline News has detailed about WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’s past:

Tedros [was] a leader of Ethiopia’s brutal minority party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling Marxist-rooted Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front …The United States State Department has categorized TPLF as a terrorist organization due to its “violent activities …

During his tenure as Ethiopia’s health minister and then foreign minister, Tedros risked the health of citizens for political gain:

[H]ealth experts in Ethiopia noticed a strange phenomenon: The government was refusing to acknowledge cholera outbreaks. Instead, the authorities labelled the outbreaks as “acute watery diarrhea” … the Ethiopian government was pressuring its health workers to avoid any mention of cholera, which could damage the country’s image and deter tourists.

That’s from Tedros’ pre-WHO days. What of Tedros today?

Actual rapists on the healthcare staff

Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts argued on the floor of Parliament that the WHO, far from having well-meaning leaders unaware of the child rapes carried out by their subordinates, “is rotting from the head,” Frontline News reported. Here’s his textual introduction to the video of his speech, posted on his YouTube Channel:

Former terrorist Tedros Ghebreyesus will not fire 83 WHO staff engaged in abuse including rape and forced abortions, with one victim 13, claiming rape and forced abortion do not violate WHO’s policies because the victims were not receiving WHO aid. [Emphasis added.]

Roberts’ accusation was based on an AP report on Congolese victims of rape and pedophilia at the hands of WHO staff, as he detailed:

 

DeSantis Announces Florida Agents Captured Vessel With 25 Illegal Haitian Immigrants With Guns And Drugs

March 15, 2024 – In an emergency press conference, Governor Ron DeSantis announced Florida agents intercepted a vessel that contained 25 illegal immigrants from Haiti.

In his press conference, DeSantis revealed the illegal immigrants had guns, drugs, and night vision goggles.

DeSantis administration has already sent members of the National Guard to the coast of Florida to prevent any Haitians from illegally entering the United States.

There Goes Latin America: Iran’s Regime in America’s Backyard   by Majid Rafizadeh
March 16, 2024 at 5:00 am

  • The Iranian regime, which… has been calling for “Death to America,” now has ballistic missiles which it says can reach the US, and claims to have a hypersonic missile that, according to one report, “Can Destroy US In 40 sec.”
  • Venezuela appears to have willingly embraced Iran’s overtures.
  • The Iranian regime, in addition to Venezuela, has evidently also been exploring avenues for military cooperation with Nicaragua and Cuba.
  • It is critical to recognize now the gravity of this exponentiating national security threat.

A threatening development has been brewing largely under the radar of the Biden administration and the mainstream media attention: Iran’s calculated expansion into Latin America, from Argentina to Mexico.

With alarming nonchalance, the Biden administration appears to have turned a blind eye to the Iranian regime’s concerted efforts to establish a military foothold right in America’s backyard. The ramifications of this complacency are profound. The Iranian regime, which, since it began in 1979, has been calling for “Death to America,” now has ballistic missiles which it says can reach the US, and claims to have a hypersonic missile that, according to one report, “Can Destroy US In 40 sec.”

 

Foregone Conclusion   By Pamela Geller

March 15, 2024 – The biggest news story that the media, let alone the Democrat media axis – the most powerful propaganda apparatus in the world, is not covering, has not covered and will not cover is that the 2024 election is a forgone conclusion. The Democrats stole 2020. They stole it right before our eyes. They stopped counting in the battleground states in the middle of the night when Trump was all but declared the winner. Yes, he was that far ahead, and then, when the machines came back online hours later, the coup was complete and what followed was a revolution, an overthrow of we the people culminating in the prosecution and imprisonment of those who protested against the steal on January 6. I don’t think they will be as messy this time. The election system itself in blue/purple states, the infrastructure is a Democrat apparatus. They have a good deal of practice under their belts. There is nothing they love more than the constant drone of nonsensical flapping tongues talk, talk, talking about the election on TV, in social media, anywhere and everywhere. “The polls show…..” As if.

How does anyone believe the Republicans will be able to win in November? It’s not possible. Why is everyone talking about the race like it’s viable or fair or possible? It’s mass delusion. The election machinery is immense, meticulous, tentacles everywhere even in the GOP. And the enemy of the people controls it.  [Emphasis added]  If I’m wrong, tell me what I ain’t seeing.

The reason why they are keeping a rotting, demented corpse who sniffs, fondles little children and walks into walls on the ticket, is because it’s in the bag. It doesn’t matter who they put on the ticket. He’s not running the country anyway.

The Republicans are useless. They have done nothing for four years. Controlled opposition.

The answer is simple. Paper ballots. One day voting. And that will not happen.
