President Biden declines Comer’s invitation to testify, refuses to answer written questions By Steven Richards
Oversight Chairman Comer previously invited President Biden to testify before his committee to address discrepancies between his claims and the evidence uncovered by the impeachment inquiry.
April 15, 2024 9:57pm – President Biden formally declined House Oversight Chairman James Comer’s invitation to testify before his committee Monday evening.
Comer invited Biden in late March to appear before his committee to address apparent discrepancies between the president’s claims and evidence uncovered by his probe.
In a letter to the committee Monday, Biden’s counsel criticized the Republicans’ impeachment probe and claimed the testimony so far has only exonerated the president.
“Your Committee’s purported ‘impeachment inquiry’ has succeeded only in turning up abundant evidence that, in fact, the President has done nothing wrong,” wrote Special Counsel to the President Richard Sauber.
“Yet rather than acknowledge this reality, your March 28, 2024, letter contains the same litany of false allegations that have been repeatedly debunked and refuted by the very witnesses you have called before your Committee and the many documents you have obtained,” he added.
You can read the letter below:

Chairman Comer pushed back in a statement.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in the Biden family. Like his son, Hunter Biden, President Biden is refusing to testify in public about the Bidens’ corrupt influence peddling. This comes as no surprise since President Biden continues to lie about his relationships with his son’s business partners, even denying they exist when his son said under oath during a deposition that they did,” Comer said in a statement obtained by Just the News.

Kersten: Extremist ideology has already hijacked Minnesota’s social studies classes By Katherine Kersten
How did biased, ideologically freighted concepts of this kind become a centerpiece of what Minnesota students will soon learn in their social studies classrooms?
April 15, 2024 – On Oct. 7, 2023, the world witnessed Hamas’ brutal invasion of Israel — the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. In the days that followed, loud voices attempted to excuse or justify this heinous act, both in Minnesota and elsewhere.
They did so using the rhetoric of an extremist ideology that views historical tensions and conflicts through a one-dimensional, politicized lens. This ideology reduces the complex history of Israel and Palestine to a caricature, and portrays Israel as an illegitimate state — an oppressive “colonizer” — whose victims are entitled to forcibly throw off their oppressor. The vocabulary used to justify this violence includes terms and concepts such as “decolonization,” “settler-colonialism,” “dispossession” and “resistance.”
Minnesotans will likely be surprised and disturbed to learn that our state’s new K-12 social studies standards are littered with these buzzwords, which are at the heart of “decolonization” ideology.
The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) has portrayed the standards — which were formally adopted in January 2024 after a four-year process — as unifying. In reality, they will divide our young people by group identity, teach them to view social life as a zero-sum power struggle between oppressors (bad) and victims (good), and convert public schools into boot camps for political activism.
In the new standards, the connection between “decolonization” ideology and Israel is made explicit in the examples that, according to MDE, “clarify the meaning” of the grade-level benchmarks. MDE has not made these examples public, indicating it will provide them separately to explain how schools should implement the standards. However, Center of the American Experiment obtained the examples, which appeared in MDE’s September 2021 working draft, through a public data request.
In connection with one standard, for instance, students are instructed to “describe how individuals and communities have fought” for “liberation against systemic and coordinated exercises of power.” In another, they must “analyze the impact of colonialism” and in a third, they must “analyze dominant and non-dominant narratives.” In all three cases, Israel-Palestine is highlighted as an example. Likewise, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar is held up as an immigrant who has made “contributions” to “political ideas.”
How did biased, ideologically freighted concepts of this kind — which appear designed to enlist young people behind a political agenda — become a centerpiece of what Minnesota students will soon learn in their social studies classrooms?
WATCH: Florida Police Take Care of Business After Pro-Hamas Agitators Try to Block a Road in Miami By Cullen Linebarger
Apr. 15, 2024 6:00 pm – Police across the country could learn a few lessons regarding how Florida takes care of pro-Hamas protesters who disrupt the daily lives of residents.
As WSVN reported, several of the losers were manhandled, dragged, and then arrested by Miami Police in riot gear and on horseback as they attempted to block the entrance to Port Miami. The incident occurred at roughly 1 PM on Monday.
The local police were joined by state troopers and armored vehicles in the process according to the outlet.
Bryan Griffin, the communications director for Governor Ron DeSantis, shared a clip of the Miami police taking out the trash. At the same time, other cities like Chicago and San Francisco coddled the protesters instead.
Pro-Palestine Protestors Take Over the Brooklyn Bridge, Block Traffic (VIDEO) By Cristina Laila
Apr. 15, 2024 5:45 pm – Far-left pro-Palestine protestors blocked the Brooklyn Bridge on Monday afternoon.
This is after pro-Palestine activists shut down the Golden State Bridge and blocked the entrance to Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
According to reports, chants of “Death to America” were heard earlier in New York City and one protestor burned an American flag.
NYPD officers in riot gear started making arrests.
Pfizer to pay $0 in taxes, despite billions in income JORDAN SCHACHTEL
Every year, Pfizer sends an army of lobbyists to Washington, D.C., seeking to manipulate the tax code to their benefit.
APR 15, 2024 – It’s Tax Day, which, for most Americans, means it’s time to fork over lots of cash to the feds.
Unless you’re running Pfizer, which is paying a grand total of zero dollars and zero cents in taxes this year. In fact, Pfizer is expecting a hefty refund!
Despite bringing in $58 billion in revenue and billions in net income for 2023, Pfizer is not paying a dime in taxes. Thanks to their scale, size, and taxpayer-funded support system, Pfizer and its peers reap tax benefits that allow for the zeroing out of their tax burden. Such privileges are not afforded to Main Street businesses, highlighting an incredibly unequal tax code that benefits mega corporations at the expense of the average citizen and small businesses.
The news is especially unsavory for American taxpayers, considering the fact that Pfizer’s income over the course of the Covid era was produced via the American and overseas taxpayers themselves. Taxpayers subsidized the research and development, approval process, purchasing, and implementation of Pfizer’s junk mRNA product line. The mRNA shots, coupled with the failed Paxlovid oral pill, gave Pfizer an unprecedented windfall, delivering tens of billions in annual profits.
[Ed.: They really should be paying taxes like the rest of the businesses.]
Apr. 15, 2024 12:45 pm – Is there anyone left who doesn’t see that Joe Biden is not the president? Joe Biden isn’t running the show.
Everyone in Washington DC knows Joe Biden is for all intents and purposes brain-dead. Everyone knows he should be in a nursing home with a sign around his neck listing his name and phone number in case he wanders off. Everyone knows he wears diapers. Everyone knows he doesn’t know what year it is, or most of the time, where he is, what he’s reading on the teleprompter, or what he’s signing.
This is the worst kept secret in history: Joe Biden is a brain-dead zombie puppet.
Biden is a wooden dummy and someone is the ventriloquist. Biden is the frontman for the biggest scam in world history.
So, why isn’t every Republican politician in Washington DC and America asking “Who is in charge? Who is running the country? Who is making the decisions that change our lives and our children’s future? Who is giving the orders?
Someone is making ridiculous, absurd, insane decisions. Someone wants America destroyed. Someone wants America weak and impotent. Someone wants to turn Americans into serfs and slaves, dependent on government to survive.
Someone wants America part of a One World government with all other poor and powerless nations of the world.
Who made the decision to leave the border open and invite the whole world in- including murderers, terrorists, Jew-hating Muslim radicals, Hamas, Hezbollah, MS-13, and Chinese military-age males? Who would want this?
Who made the decision to leave the border open- thereby allowing all the fentanyl and other deadly drugs in the world to flow into the USA and kill over 100,000 Americans a year? Who would benefit from that?
Who made the decision to add half billion dollars a year to the national debt to pay for 20 million new illegal aliens? Why do we need them? Who benefits?
Who made the decision to treat illegal aliens better than U.S. citizens, and better than even our hero military vets?
Who is making the decision to allow the violent criminals out with “no bail?” Look around- almost every crime in America is committed by criminals arrested or convicted 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, 50 times. Why are they walking the streets? Why are they still breathing? Why aren’t they in prison for life, or given the death penalty?
Who is making the decision to “feminize” the U.S. military and base it on DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), CRT, climate change, and transgender ideology?
Who made the decision to release billions of dollars to Iran right before they funded one of the worst terror attacks in history upon Israel? Who gave them the green light to attack Israel twice without America lifting a finger to stop them?
Who made the decision over the weekend for the United States to not support Israel’s counterattack against Iran?
Who made the deadly decision to keep the printing presses running 24/7 to create the worst debt and worst inflation perhaps in our lifetimes, and thereby destroy the middle class?
Who made the decision to hurt the oil and energy industries and reverse America’s energy independence under President Trump? Who would want us dependent on our enemies in the Middle East, Russia and Venezuela?
Who made the decision to not refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at the exact moment World War 3 appears to be imminent?
The world is on fire because someone gave the order to abdicate our role as world leader. Who made that decision?
Who made the decision to weaponize our government against President Trump? And to violate the U.S. Constitution in order to censor and silence conservatives?
Who made the decision to mandate against their will every employee in America with an untested, experimental, emergency-use-only, vaccine based on OSHA rules?
Who gave the order to demonize and slander Ivermectin as a veterinary medicine for pigs and horses- even though it is now proven to be safe and effective for humans versus Covid, and could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives? Someone didn’t want those American lives saved. Why?
I could go on for hours.
Someone is making all these devastatingly wrong decisions that are intentionally destroying America. Why isn’t every Republican politician in America asking out loud, “Who is President? Who is making these decisions?”
And we should be saying it 24/7 until the election. Everyone in DC knows Biden can’t control his bladder, he’s certainly not running the country.
So, who is? Why are we allowing the greatest nation in world history to be destroyed by an unelected mysterious stranger, or foreign interests?
We know Joe Biden is reading teleprompter. We know his mic is cut off, if he strays from prepared words. We know the Easter Bunny led him off the White House lawn when reporters asked too many questions. We know his wife Jill often leads him off stage. We know he can’t walk up short stairs without tripping. We heard him actually say he doesn’t know what he’s signing.
We know Obama said he was “going to fundamentally change America.” We know Obama if he was elected gas prices would skyrocket.
I believe Obama is the real power behind the throne. Obama is giving the orders.
But who is his boss? The Deep State? China? The CCP? George Soros? Klaus Schwab? Valerie Jarrett? Satan?
Someone is the head of the snake giving the ultimate orders to destroy America. Someone is ordering this communist and globalist takeover of USA. Someone is turning our government against the people. Someone is being bribed billions of dollars to destroy us.
Why isn’t every GOP politician in America asking these questions LOUDLY 24 hours a day in the media and in television commercials?
PURE EVIL: Biden Administration Reportedly Provided Guidance to Iran in Saturday’s Drone and Missile Strike on Israel By Jim Hoft
Apr. 15, 2024 9:00 am – Boy, the Biden-Obama regime really, really hates Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel!
According to reports coming from Israel and Turkey the Biden Administration provided guidance to Iran in its missile and drone strike against Israel.
Here is video of Iranian missiles and drones entering Israeli airspace where most were shot down.
Why would Israel EVER trust the Biden regime again?
The Jerusalem Post reported:
Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be “within certain limits.”
Turkey, which has denounced Israel for its campaign on Gaza, said earlier on Sunday that it did not want a further escalation of tensions in the region.
The Turkish source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had spoken to both his US and Iranian counterparts in the past week to discuss the planned Iranian operation, adding Ankara had been made aware of possible developments.
Earlier this week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Fidan to make clear that escalation in the Middle East was not in anyone’s interest.
“Iran informed us in advance of what would happen. Possible developments also came up during the meeting with Blinken, and they (the US) conveyed to Iran through us that this reaction must be within certain limits,” the source said.
Saving whales started as left-wing cause, but now conservatives are taking up the fight By Kevin Killough
While the media and environmental groups claim there’s no connection between the uptick in whale deaths and offshore wind developments, groups like the Heartland Institute, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, and the National Legal and Policy Center are taking the matter to court.
April 13, 2024 – Saving the whales was once a leading cause of left-wing environmental groups like Greenpeace. But offshore wind development has created an ironic twist in which conservative groups are now the loudest voices raising concerns about the North Atlantic right whale’s extinction.
The Heartland Institute, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) and the National Legal and Policy Center, want to draw attention to what they say is a connection between an increase in dead whales along the East Coast and industrialization of the U.S. Coast. A new study by an independent acoustician concludes that they may be right.
Off the shores of the East Coast are plans for the development of massive amounts of offshore wind farms. Among them is Dominion Energy’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, which is expected to be the largest offshore wind farm in the world.
Last month, a coalition of conservative groups filed a lawsuit against federal agencies, their top officials, and Dominion Energy, arguing the permits didn’t properly assess the danger the project presents to whales. The same groups Tuesday submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for Dominion’s species protection plan, which they said isn’t publicly available.
Greenpeace, whose first campaign in 1973 was aimed at stopping whaling, insists that concerns about the impacts to whales from extensive offshore wind developments spreading up the East and soon the West Coast are nothing more than “right-wing disinformation,” and media outlets like the Associated Press and The Guardian report these concerns as “unfounded” and “false.”
Democrats critical of Israel switch tune after Iran attack: ‘Popular to be pro-Israel again’ By Madeleine Hubbard
Some Democrats used the occasion to demand a ceasefire in Gaza.
April 15, 2024 – Many Democrats who were critical of Israel and even pressuring the country to agree to a cease-fire with Gaza are now saying they support Israel after Iran’s major attack, leading to questions about how long their support for Israel will last.
“It is politically popular to be pro-Israel again!” New York Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres, a vocal supporter of Israel, joked on X Sunday. “Count on me to be pro-Israel even when it becomes unpopular again, as it inevitably will. A fair-weather friend is no friend at all.”
After Iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles at Israel over the weekend, some Democrats are now voicing their support for Israel after heavily criticizing the country’s response to Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack, and calling for a cease-fire.
For example, Sen. Chris Van Hollen previously accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of enabling Hamas, a terrorist organization funded by Iran, and he made multiple posts online criticizing Israel and calling for a cease-fire.
“I condemn the Iranian attack on Israel and support Israel’s right to defend itself against this aggression,” Van Hollen wrote on X.
Vice President Kamala Harris has also been critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza and called for a cease-fire, but Saturday she said on X: “Our support for Israel’s security is ironclad, and we stand with the people of Israel in defense against these attacks.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has condemned Israel’s response in Gaza and called for a temporary cease-fire, said after Iran’s attack that the U.S.’s “commitment to Israel’s security is ironclad.”
Ten New Studies Detail Health Risks of 5G [57:32] Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Why Over 400 Scientist and Doctors Want to Halt 5G
April 14, 2024 – During the pandemic, we watched the rollout of 5G cross the country, even though little if any research had been done on its safety. Over the last two years, 10 new studies have been published, and the findings are alarming enough to spur hundreds of scientists and doctors into action. Here’s how to protect yourself.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Several studies published between 2022 and 2024 underscore the health risks posed by 5G technology
- Research contradicts the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection guidelines, demonstrating various harmful biological effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on humans and the environment, including potential cancer risk
- Studies reveal 5G’s potential to induce neurological damage and psychiatric problems, highlighting its effects on brain development, including the increased risk of conditions like dementia through mechanisms such as the impairment of neurosin
- A December 2023 study illustrates the detrimental effects of 5G RFR on rat sperm, showing decreased sperm count and quality, with melatonin offering a protective effect
- February 2024 research indicates significant changes in the fecal microbiome and metabolome profiles in mice exposed to 5G RFR, hinting at broader implications for health, including mental well-being and immune function
RFK Jr. Exposes BlackRock’s Chronic Disease-Related Money Laundering Scheme THE VIGILANT FOX
No one else has ever explained it quite like this.
APR 14, 2024 – Independent presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy Jr. recently shared some more striking insights while on the campaign trail in Iowa.
Taking aim at BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, Kennedy revealed how the mega-corporation profits from people’s sickness on multiple levels.
The money-making scheme goes as follows:
60% of Americans have at least one chronic disease. Who does that benefit? Big Pharma.
Who owns portions of all major pharmaceutical companies? BlackRock.
It goes even deeper.
People are sick because they’re eating processed foods with ingredients that are banned in European countries.
Who owns portions of all major processed food companies? BlackRock.
And who is one of the biggest donors to both the Republican and Democratic parties? Once again, the answer is BlackRock.
Kennedy says both parties are “not allowed to solve” the chronic disease epidemic.
Why?
“Because there are people making money on that problem who are giving them money.”

Iran sent 150 missiles
[Ed.: Well, at least they made an attempt to save their honor, after we offed so many of their top Generals in targeted hits. So, they let off some steam. They even told Foggy Bottom not to wrinkle their panties, and to not intervene in a limited (controlled) response. It would be short and sweet, and not merit WWIII. So the show of fireworks was seen by all, they ‘saved face’, and we can all go home now. And about that bridge in Brooklyn…]

Brutal Iranian Regime Sends Out Morality Police on the Streets of Iran – To Attack Iranian Citizens and Protesters Following Iranian Attacks on Israel – VIDEO By Jim Hoft
Apr. 13, 2024 7:00 pm – FOX Contributor Ellie Cohanim reported moments ago that the Iranian regime is sending out morality police into the streets of Iran.
The brutal regime is afraid of the possible protest movement that could develop in the streets.
Ellie Cohanim: I have no doubt the the Iranian leadership themselves are very scared right now… I have to tell our audience that just a few hours ago Iranians put out the morality police on the streets of the country. So it’s an interesting situation… I believe it’s because they expect perhaps the Iranian people might take to the streets at a moment like this, at a moment of war. So they have their morality police ready to attack Iranians. So they know themselves how vulnerable they are.

Fewer Than One in Four Americans Have a Positive View of Federal Government By Cassandra Macdonald
Apr. 13, 2024 2:40 pm – According to a new poll, fewer than one in four Americans have a favorable opinion about the federal government.
The Pew Research Center released data from their American Trends Panel survey on Thursday, which found only 22 percent of adults have a positive opinion of the federal government.
Pew reports, “State governments get mixed ratings: 50% of adults have a favorable opinion and 49% have an unfavorable view. This reflects a 4-point decline in favorability since 2022 and a 9-point decline since 2019.”
Additionally, “61% of adults rate their local government positively. But this, too, is down from 66% in 2022 and 69% in 2019.”
Democrats are approximately three times as likely as Republicans to have a positive view of the federal government.
Only about 11 percent of Republicans or Republican-leaning Americans have a similarly favorable view.
Pew reports that views on state governments vary widely depending on whether the respondents’ political party is in power.
“For example, 70% of Republicans living in states with Republican leadership have a positive view of their state government. By comparison, just 43% of Republicans living in states with split control – and only 22% of Republicans living in states with Democratic leadership – have a positive view,” Pew found. “The pattern among Democrats is similar.”
Local governments, on the other hand, have a majority favorable view across party lines.
“Americans differ little by party in opinion of their local government, with similar shares of Republicans (63%) and Democrats (64%) holding favorable views,” the report states.

Hungarian and Polish Farmers Battling Cheap Unregulated Ukrainian Grain – Orbán Is Implementing Agricultural Protections but Tusk Prioritizes Helping Kiev By Paul Serran
Apr. 13, 2024 12:40 pm – The great European Farmers’ Revolt is still ongoing, with agricultural producers mobilizing in an unprecedented scale in most countries.
The demands from the food producers is pretty much the same all over, and it centers around the failed, crippling green environmental policies, emanating from Brussels, that threaten their subsistence and may also cause food insecurity and a major manufactured famine.
But some countries have an additional sticking beef: the cheap, low quality unregulated Ukrainian grain flowing through their borders.
This week, two of its neighbors, Hungary and Poland, saw developments in the battle against this economic invasion.
The conservative, nationalist government of Hungary is already moving on its own to try to protect its farming sector, but the new Globalist and Eurofanatic Polish government is still dragging its feet on the issue.
Hungary will place additional restrictions on the import of Ukrainian agricultural products, trying to shield Hungarian farmers from market fluctuations caused by cheaper Ukrainian imports.

Outrageous! Speaker Johnson Bloviates on X About “founding principles” the Day After He Breaks Tie Vote to Support FISA Spying on Americans w/o Warrants – Gets Totally Ratioed! By Jim Hoft
Apr. 13, 2024 1:20 pm – On Friday, the House voted 273 to 147 in favor of extending Section 702 of FISA, a provision originally enacted in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.
This legislation permits U.S. agencies to monitor foreign targets abroad but has come under scrutiny for its implications and past misuse in surveilling American citizens. The vote displayed a uniparty alliance, with 147 Democrats and 126 Republicans supporting the bill, while 88 Republicans and 59 Democrats opposed it.
The approved legislation proposes a two-year extension for the surveillance program.
Rep. Mary Miller (R-Illinois) stated her opposition, referencing past abuses: “I voted NO on reauthorizing FISA without a warrant requirement and serious reforms. FISA was misused by Obama to spy on the Trump campaign, and under Biden, to monitor his critics, including Tucker Carlson.”
An amendment was proposed by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), which would have required a warrant for the FBI to conduct surveillance on Americans under FISA. The floor vote resulted in a tie vote of 212-212. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) then broke the deadlock by casting the tie-breaking vote against the amendment, a move criticized by grassroots supporters.
Johnson betrayed Americans and defied the US Constitution.
Worse yet, less than 24 hours later Mike Johnson posted on X about America’s founding principles — after giving the regime power to spy on any American at will!
The man is either clueless or passive-aggressive as hell.
HUGE! MI Legislators Vow To Take Case to US Supreme Court Before 2024 Election, After Biden-Appointed Judge Dismisses Suit Arguing Unconstitutional Changes To Election Laws Via Ballot Proposal Funded By George Soros By Patty Mcmurray
Michigan legislators claim that the state government infringed on their constitutional rights when it used ballot initiatives to change election laws.
Apr. 13, 2024 3:45 pm – Eleven Michigan Legislators have vowed to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court after U.S. District Court Judge Jane Beckering, a Biden-appointed judge, dismissed their federal lawsuit on April 11, citing a lack of standing.
The lawmakers’ claim, filed Sept. 28, 2023, argues the 2018 and 2022 state constitutional amendments regulating time, place, and manner of federal elections are legally null and void because they usurped the legislators’ constitutionally protected rights.
Plaintiffs include Republican Senators Jonathan Lindsey and Jim Runestad; Republican Representatives Steve Carra, James DeSana, Joseph Fox, Neil Friske, Matt Maddock, Angela Rigas, Joshua Schriver, and Rachelle Smit.
The U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 4 (the Elections Clause), requires state legislatures to regulate the times, places, and manner of federal elections. However, the 2018 and 2022 constitutional amendments bypassed the state legislature and, in doing so, infringed on the legislators’ federally mandated constitutional authority.
Representative Steve Carra (R), the House Freedom Caucus leader and a plaintiff in the case, disagreed with the judge’s decision and is optimistic the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case. “If I, as a legislator, don’t have standing to say laws are being passed without legislature approval, then who does? The Elections Clause of the U.S. Constitution protects legislative authority to determine the times, places, and manner of elections.”
WORLD WAR III WATCH: Iran Launches Kamikazi Drone Attack Against Israel By Cullen Linebarger
Apr. 13, 2024 3:33 pm – Iran has officially launched a drone attack against Israel, a development that could spark an all-out war and draw in more countries.
Axios’s Barak Ravid was the first to report this alarming news.
One U.S. official reported that the number of drones is between 50 and 100.
reports, these drones will arrive in the Jewish state within the next few hours.
A second wave is now underway according to Israeli officials.
An attack was widely expected to occur after Israeli forces killed a senior officer in Iran’s embassy in Damascus last week.
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement Israel is “well-prepared” for the attack and will try to intercept the strikes.
We have prepared for diverse scenarios in advance. In order to intercept these launches, we have the circles of protection from both the Navy and the Air Force on several layers.
We are going to try to prevent them from reaching Israeli territory, that is our task. If they do enter Israeli airspace, then you will hear sirens and alarms wherever these threats enter and we will intercept them.
As Catturd helpfully reminds us, Biden’s coddling of the Iranian regime also helped lead to this terrible moment.
26 Barges Barges Break Loose Causing Bridge Closures and Damage to a Marina on Ohio River By Anthony Scott
Apr. 13, 2024 10:15 am – In a bizarre incident, 26 barges broke loose in Pittsburgh and drifted uncontrollably down the Ohio River on Friday night.
Shortly after the barges broke free, Pittsburgh authorities closed the McKees Rocks Bridge and the West End Bridge “out of an abundance of caution.”
Authorities reported that eleven barges were stopped by running into a river bank by Brunot Island, and now tugboats are on the scene pulling the barges out.
Nine were found stopped at the Emsworth Lock and Dam.
The commander for the Pittsburgh district of the Army Corp of Engineers stated that a preliminary evaluation showed no damage to the dam, but extensive damage to a nearby marina was found.
Per CBS News:
Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating after more than 20 barges broke loose and floated down the Ohio River.
The commander for the Pittsburgh district of the Army Corp of Engineers told KDKA the 26 barges that broke loose have been accounted for, with some of them resting against the Emsworth Lock and Dam on the Ohio River.
He said early investigation found no issues with the dam and no one was hurt.
Pittsburgh Police said the call came in around 11:30 on Friday night.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard said 26 barges broke away from a vessel at mile marker one. Of the 26 barges, 23 were loaded and three were empty.
Currently, the cause of the barges breaking loose is under investigation, but authorities believe high water levels played a. acfactor.

Mike Benz on the FBI’s Lawless Use of FISA Spying: “This Is the Most Corrupt Agency, the Most Lawless… We Will Know There Are Checks and Balances When We See Them in Jail” (VIDEO) By Jim Hoft
Apr. 13, 2024 8:00 am – Mike Benz the founder and executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online joined Natalie Winters on The War Room on Friday evening to discuss the House vote to recertify FISA spying on American citizens.
Benz believes the FBI is the most corrupt agency, the most lawless in the country. And the only way “we will know there are checks and balances is when we see them in jail.”
So true. The more the lawless government agencies are allowed to abuse the American public with no consequence – the more the lawless government agencies will continue to abuse Americans without concern of any consequence.
Where are the good guys in the GOP?
Via the War Room.
Mike Benz: I share an identical rage that I feel emanating from you here. For him to take to the press conference like that and pivot to the border on exciting all the principles. If we don’t have a border, we don’t have a country. – This idea that, Oh, don’t worry about it, there’s checks and balances on it now. No, there’s not. It’s an empty check. It’s a blank check for the FBI to do whatever it wants, and it’s bluster instead of balances. FISA is, as Senator Mike Lee said it best, “Federal investigators stalking Americans.” And there’s something very sick and twisted about what’s happening right now with the FISA fight vis-a-vis the Republican Party. The Republican Party is in the middle of a civil war between the internationalist sect of the GOP, the blob sect of it, versus the Nationalist wing of the GOP, the populist faction. And FISA will not be used on the blob side, the internationalist side of the GOP. That side of the GOP associated with big international businesses is associated with the energy market, associated with the military.
In that empire managerial class of the GOP, FISA is not an issue to them. It won’t be used on them, but it will be used on their opposition in the GOP Civil War. Every single right wing populist, nationalist, Republican is a target of FISA.
FISA is this idea that you can get around the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution and use the Department of Dirty Tricks Power that our foreign policy establishment has to spy on foreigners, to spy on Americans, if you simply use the word counterintelligence instead of intelligence. We’re not doing intelligence spying on our own people. We’re doing counterintelligence spying on our people because they might be being spied on by Russia.

Anarchy in the UK: Squatters Take Over £13 Million London Pub Owned by Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay By Kristinn Taylor
Apr. 13, 2024 9:30 am – A luxurious London pub and boutique hotel owned by celebrity British chef Gordon Ramsay has been taken over by a gang of squatters who are threatening legal action if an effort is made to remove them, according to reports that place the value of the property at 13 million pounds sterling (About $16.2 million.)
Excerpt from the UK Sun report:
The gang, said to be made up of at least six “professional squatters”, used Ramsay’s own kitchen appliances to barricade themselves in and have glued shut the locks.
Photos show the swanky bar area of the venue — which had been temporarily closed for a handover — resembling a tip, with debris sprawled everywhere and a squatter crashed out on a leather sofa.
Ramsay, 57, was about to sign over a multi-million pound lease to new partners when the gang broke in to the York & Albany pub and boutique hotel near Regent’s Park, central London.
The TV chef — who was embroiled in a legal battle over the venue back in 2015 — called the police last Wednesday but has been unable to remove the squatters from the 19th-century building.

They have also slapped a legal notice on the front door, saying they are entitled to stay there as it “is a non-residential building”.
They claim that the law which prevents squatting is not applicable because it “was NOT designed or adapted, before the time of our entry, for use as a place to live”.
Incredibly, they then threaten legal action, suggesting that if anyone tries to enter “by violence” they could end up in jail for six months.
They warn: “Take notice that we occupy this property and at all times there is at least one person in occupation.
“That any entry or attempt to enter into these premises without our permission is therefore a criminal offence as any one of us who is in physical possession is opposed to such entry without our permission.
“That if you attempt to enter by violence or by threatening violence we will prosecute you.
“You may receive a sentence of up to six months’ imprisonment and/or a fine of up to £5,000.”
The note, signed by “The Occupiers”, also warns: “If you want to get us out you will have to issue a claim for possession in the County Court or in the High Court.”

New York City Council Opens Meeting by Praising Allah as the Supreme Lord of the World (VIDEO) By Jim Hᴏft
Apr. 12, 2024 9:00 pm – The New York City Council opened its Thursday meeting with an invocation praising Allah, recognized in Islam as the supreme deity.
Imam Abdoulazakou Traore of the Darou Salam Islamic Community Inc. led the council in prayer, beginning with an Arabic recitation followed by an English translation that expressed reverence for Allah as the “Lord of the world” and sought guidance for the city’s lawmakers.
The New York City Community Affairs Bureau estimates the Muslim population in the city to be between 800,000 and 1,000,000, with other sources citing numbers as high as 1.4 million. This demographic makes New York home to the largest Muslim population in the country, according to WiseVoter.
During his invocation, Imam Traore began by reciting Al-Fatiha, the opening chapter of the Quran, which is known to be one of the most significant Surahs (chapters) recited in daily prayers by Muslims around the world.
English Translation:
“In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the world, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment. It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. Guide us to the straight path, the path of those You have blessed, not those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided.”
Trump Demands an End to Funding for National Public Radio After Report Reveals Their Political Bias: ‘A TOTAL SCAM!’ By Mike Lachance
Apr. 12, 2024 10:00 pm – Earlier this week, an editor for National Public Radio went on the record exposing the extreme political bias of the taxpayer funded network.
He claimed that after the 2016 election, that the outlet went full-activist and did whatever they could to damage Trump and his presidency. They obviously pushed the Russia collusion hoax and refused to report on the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Someone must have shared the story with Trump, because he is now calling for an end to public funding for National Public Radio.
