House Judiciary opens formal inquiry into ATF killing of Arkansas airport executive By John Solomon
Lawmakers question lack of required body cams for raid, no-knock execution of warrant after Just the News reporting.
April 22, 2024 12:43pm – The House Judiciary Committee on Monday launched a formal inquiry into federal agents’ fatal shooting of an Arkansas airport executive during the execution of a gun case search warrant at his home, demanding the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) explain why it carried out the search without knocking and without using required body cams.
The ATF’s fatal shooting last month of Bryan Malinowski, an administrator at the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, has reignited concerns about the agency’s enforcement of gun laws and regulations under President Joe Biden as well as prompted a criminal investigation by Arkansas authorities.
The death and the circumstances of ATF’s pursuit of Malinowski was the focus of a recent Just the News investigation.
“The circumstances of Mr. Malinowski’s death raise questions about whether the ATF followed proper protocol during the execution of this search warrant,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan wrote ATF Director Steven Dettelbach in a letter demanding answers.
“Department of Justice policy and President Biden’s Executive Order 14074 requires ATF agents—including those who conducted the search warrant on March 19, 2024—to wear active body-worn cameras during the execution of a search warrant,” the letter noted. “The Department has since confirmed to the Malinowski family that ATF agents were not wearing body cameras during the raid, a violation of the Department policy.
Jordan also questioned whether ATF agencies “complied with” a Justice Department policy that sharply limited agents’ use of “no knock” entries.
“ATF has not explained why it resorted to a no knock entry of Mr. Malinowski’s home when it could have peacefully executed the warrant while he was away from his residence,” Jordan’s letter stated.
The chairman said he was concerned ATF’s raid was driven by an ideological crackdown by the Biden administration on gun owners who sell weapons occasionally without acquiring a federal firearms license.
“ATF’s pre-dawn, no-knock raid of the Malinowski home coincided with the agency’s implementation of a regulation to restrict the right to private lawful sales of firearms,” the letter noted. “In particular, ATF seeks to drastically expand the universe of Americans who would be classified as a ‘dealer’ under federal law requiring them to obtain a license to become a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), subjecting them to a term of imprisonment of up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000, or both.
“Mr. Malinowski exercised his Second Amendment rights and was a firearms enthusiast. Even if, as ATF has alleged, Mr. Malinowski violated federal law, it does not justify ATF’s actions that ultimately lead to the use of deadly force,’” the letter added.
BREAKING: Judge Smacks Down Letitia James, Rules in Favor of Trump in Fight Over $175 Million Bond By Cristina Laila
Apr. 22, 2024 12:40 pm – A judge on Monday smacked down Marxist tyrant Letitia James and ruled in favor of Trump in a fight over a $175 million bond.
On Friday Letitia James asked a judge to void Trump’s $175 million bond that he posted to appeal the civil fraud case
Letitia James argued that California-based Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC) is not approved to do business in New York.
James also questioned whether KSIC has the funds to back up the $175 million bond Trump previously posted.
“Based on KSIC’s policyholder surplus in its most recent annual financial statement of $138,441,671, the limitation of loss on any one risk that KSIC is permitted to write is $13.8 million,” Letitia James’ office wrote in a 26-page filing according to Fox News. “The face amount of the bond exceeds this limitation by $161.2 million.”
James also argued in her filing: “KSIC is not qualified to act as the surety under this standard because its management has been found by federal authorities to have operated affiliated companies within KSIC’s holding company structure in violation of federal law on multiple occasions within the past several years.”
“KSIC does not now have an exclusive right to control the account and will not obtain such control unless and until it exercises a right to do so on two days’ notice,” James’ office wrote in the filing.
Letitia James asked the judge to void Trump’s bond and require him to post another bond within 7 days of the court’s decision.
The judge ruled against Letitia James on Monday and said Trump’s $175 million bond can stand.

JUST IN: SCOTUS Denies Kari Lake and Mark Finchem’s Lawsuit to Ban Voting Machines Without Comment By Jordan Conradson
Apr. 22, 2024 12:00 pm – The United States Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a lawsuit by former Arizona Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and former Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem to ban the use of hackable electronic voting machines.
Kari Lake is the Trump-Endorsed US Senate Candidate in Arizona and is on course to face Democrat Ruben Gallego in November.
The appeal by Lake and Finchem comes after the stolen 2022 election, where 60% of the voting machines were reportedly programmed to fail on election day, causing mass voter disenfranchisement and up to four-hour-long lines for Republican in-person voters. Kari Lake ran for governor and allegedly lost the race by less than one percent after this debacle, despite leading by double digits in polls leading up to election day.
The filing includes “new allegations,” some of which were previously mentioned in Kari Lake’s lawsuit to overturn the stolen election, including:
- First, Maricopa did not conduct the required L&A testing, on which the district court relied to find the risk of election interference speculative.
- Second, Maricopa did not use certified software, on which the district court relied to find the risk of election interference speculative.
- Third, Maricopa used software that made all passwords needed to control Maricopa elections available to anyone with physical or remote access, which supports petitioners’ allegations and evidence that past elections were manipulated.
- Fourth, altering election software without the Arizona Secretary of State’s approval is criminal act under Arizona law, A.R.S. §§16-449(A), 16- 452(C), 16-1009, 16-1004(B), 16-1010, thereby evaporating presumptions in their favor under Arizona law. See note 5, infra (Arizona’s “bursting bubble” theory of nonstatutory presumptions).
- Fifth, Maricopa’s officials misrepresented their compliance with Arizona election law (e.g., L&A testing, certified software), which negates any presumptions in their favor under Arizona law. See note 5, infra (Arizona’s “bursting bubble” theory of nonstatutory presumptions).
- Sixth, Maricopa officials abdicated control over the complex election systems to embedded private Dominion employees who lack any presumption of regularity under Arizona law. See note 4, infra.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on these claims and video evidence that Maricopa County conducted secret reprogramming of the machines on October 14 through 18 after the Secretary of State’s October 11 Logic and Accuracy testing without notifying the Secretary of State for required additional testing.
The Inmates Are Running the Asylum: Columbia University President Cancels In-Person Classes as Anti-Israel Protests Escalate and Protesters Chant for Hamas on Campus By Jim Hoft
Apr. 22, 2024 7:55 am – Anti-Israel protesters form a tent city and take over the Columbia University campus. Classes were cancelled on Monday April 22, 2024 and Jewish students were told not to attend classes by prominent Jews.
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik released a statement on Monday morning cancelling in-person classes on campus on Monday.
Dean Shafik hopes to convene a “working group” to discuss the crisis on campus including the debate on whether or not to bring police on campus.
“A working group of Deans, university administrators and faculty members will try to bring this crisis to a resolution. That includes continuing discussions with the student protestors and identifying actions we can take as a community to enable us to peacefully complete the term and return to respectful engagement with each other. I know that there is much debate about whether or not we should use the police on campus, and I am happy to engage in those discussions.”
This comes as anti-Israel protests continue to escalate on the campus.
The campus now appears to be under control of the Jew-hating radicals.
Rabbinical leaders warned Jewish students to stay home amid the ongoing “extreme antisemitism and anarchy.”
The protesters are chanting for Hamas on the campus.
US Supreme Court has undercut all DEI-based discrimination Freedom Piper, X
[Peloni: It is well past time for the anti-Constitutional legitimization of mandated discriminatory practices of DEI be struck down. What the Court has done here, however, places those corporations who support such descriminatory practices as being subject to lawsuit for ” “some harm” under the terms of their employment, AND that harm need not be “material,” “substantial” or “serious.” “]
April 21, 2024 – In a landmark 9-0 ruling on Wednesday that you will never hear about in the media, the US Supreme Court has undercut all DEI-based discrimination, sending the Marxists into a tizzy.
The US Supreme Court’s ruling that a St. Louis police sergeant can sue over a job transfer she claims was discriminatory lays the foundation for legal action against employers who push discrimination against white people in job hiring, work assignment and promotion. That’s right, those “diversity-preferred” job postings, the practice of passing over whites for promotions, discriminatory job transfers, pushing unfair diversity trainings, etc…all of these are now legally actionable.
The ruling was championed by human rights groups as “an enormous win for workers,” but has lawyers for companies like Disney warning that it could have a chilling effect on employers’ diversity initiatives.
Disney’s “Pale and Male is Stale” policy is a prime example. Disney has allegedly used it to drive out white animators by giving them the worst assignments, even though they them have the most experience, skill, and seniority, in order to make the job humiliating enough that they quit…which many of them have done.
The same companies argue that there is ‘good discrimination’ and “bad discrimination’, that white people should be purposely disadvantaged to pave the way for diversity. The lawyers stated that the decision will ‘complicate’ DEI programs and limit their ability to discriminate against white men.
The Supreme Court torpedoed these claims, re-asserting that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. Further, the court has established a relatively ‘low standard’ for bringing discrimination cases. The victim need not suffer ‘actual harm’. An employee only must show “some harm” under the terms of their employment, AND that harm need not be “material,” “substantial” or “serious.” The decision makes it much easier for workers to sue over discriminatory practices. This is a big win for equality!
Read the decision on the Supreme Court site: https://t.co/fpT8xHOiTS
Here is one of the sources used to corroborate the impacts: https://t.co/FPOlBgljWl
Justice Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion, and even stated the “some harm” requirement, though a much lower barrier to litigation, was in his opinion not required. His biew is that no harm need be proven, simply the ACT of discrimination on basis of race, color, etc is itself ‘harm’. The road is paved for equality to once agin be restored to our struggling Marxist-controlled Republic.
Patriot Roy Rogue has posted the prior decision from the appeals court, which SCOTUS has overturned. In particular, the assertion that any “materially significant harm” must be proven. By lowering the standard of proof, SCOTUS has now opened the door.
Love Jihad hits India: Hindu girl raped throughout Ramadan, another is publicly stabbed to death BY ASHLYN DAVIS
APR 21, 2024 11:00 AM – The month of Ramadan, say the Muslims, is the holiest. During this month, Muslims practice peace. They fast during the daytime by abstaining from all food and drink and steer clear of evil deeds. But then there is Ayan Pathan, who has been arrested by Madhya Pradesh police in India for abducting a Hindu girl and continually raping her throughout the month of Ramadan.
The 24-year-old Pathan, who has been caught in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district, had befriended a 23-year-old Hindu girl from the same area and convinced her to enter into a romantic relationship with him. But soon, he started to harass the girl for her property.
The victim recounts: “I have known him for a month or two. He stays in the neighborhood. Since then he has been assaulting, raping and torturing me for the property. I am fatherless and I stay with my mother in Guna. The accused said that he loved me, but later he began harassing me for my property.”
When the girl disagreed to surrender her property to him, he abducted her. During the abduction, he regularly raped her, hit her with a leather belt and iron instruments, and poured chilly flakes and salt on her bleeding wounds. He would also stuff her mouth with adhesive to preclude her from screaming.
While she was successful in escaping the captivity once, Pathan convinced her to stay back and then again brutally beat her. The girl managed to flee and reached the police station to file a complaint. Her mother asserts that Ayan trapped her daughter in the love affair only for her property, and demanded the strictest punishment for him.
Nigeria: Muslims slaughter 29 Christians in three-day massacre BY ROBERT SPENCER
APR 21, 2024 8:30 AM – The world continues to look the other way and ignore this genocide. This is because Israel cannot be blamed, and because it doesn’t fit the media template of Muslims as brown victims and Christians as white oppressors. Any news item that concerns Christians and Muslims but doesn’t fit that narrative is resolutely ignored.
“Twenty-nine Nigerian Christians slaughtered in three-day pogrom,” The Catholic Herald, April 19, 2024:
Suspected Fulani Islamist militants carried out on a three-day massacre in Pankshin Diocese in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, killing 29 Christians, injuring a further two, and burning down churches and houses.
The attacks took place across the villages of Kopnanle, Mandung, Bokkos Town and the Mbar district of Bokkos.
Uganda: Muslim puts pesticide in his mother’s food, killing her, because she left Islam and became a Christian BY ROBERT SPENCER
APR 21, 2024 3:00 PM – The intention is not only to carry out Islam’s death penalty for apostasy, but to serve as a warning to others who might be considering converting. It is intended to “strike terror” (Qur’an 8:60) within them, so that they’ll remain Muslim. [Emphasis added]
“Muslim Suspected of Killing His Christian Mother, Relative Says,” Morning Star News, April 16, 2024:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – A Muslim in eastern Uganda is suspected of killing his mother last week by putting pesticide in her food for refusing to leave her Christian faith, a relative said.
Sulaina Nabirye, 50, of Kamuli, Kamuli District, put her faith in Christ on Feb. 10, and since then her 31-year-old son had tried to persuade her to return to Islam, said the relative, whose name is withheld for security reasons.
“During the month of Ramadan, she complained of her son pressuring her to stop attending church and revert back to Islam, since he was studying to become an imam at Bugembe Mosque,” the relative said. “When she refused to convert back to Islam, he stopped visiting her at her house and threatened to chase or even kill her.”
Nabirye’s fears led the source to make frequent visits, praying with and encouraging her to withstand the threats.
“She had peace and joy and was encouraged by the sermons from the pastor,” the source said.
The threats from Nabirye’s son, Arajabu Mukiibi, intensified during Ramadan, and the source was present when Mukiibi visited on April 9 to tell Nabirye that his wife would prepare dinner for them.

HITLER YOUTH Rampage at Columbia University; Pro-Terror Jew Haters Call for Killing of Jewish Students, Praise Jihad Murderers By Pamela Geller
April 21, 2024 – Screaming, “Hamas (Al-Qassam), make us proud! Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!” and “Hamas, we love you. We support your rockets too.”

This is not static, it’s fluid and its going somewhere terrible.
Jewish Yale Student Stabbed in Eye By Terrorist Student By Pamela Geller
April 21, 2024 – Hitler youth have taken over college campuses. Horrific.
Where did America think all this jihad porn and islamophilia would lead would lead?
‘Will National and Conn. Jewish Federation, ADL, AJC demand appropriate punishment – or just have another meeting to tell parents and students how to “handle” antisemitism? Think how powerfully the establishment Jewish organizations would act if the victim was part of any other minority group other than a Jew.’ (Geller Reader commenter)
Jewish Yale student stabbed in eye with PLO flag BY: JNS,
April 21, 2024:
A Jewish student at Yale University was stabbed in the eye with a PLO flag during an anti-Israel demonstration at the school’s New Haven, Conn., campus on Saturday night.
“Tonight at Yale, I was assaulted by a student today at an anti-Israel protest. He stabbed me in the eye with a Palestinian flag. Now I’m in the hospital. This is what happens when visibly Jewish students try to attend and document these rallies,” Sahar Tartak, a sophomore, tweeted after the incident.
BRAZIL AWAKENS: Hundreds of Thousands Gather in Rio’s Copacabana Beach Against Dictatorship and in Support of Bolsonaro! (VIDEOS) By Paul Serran
Apr. 21, 2024 12:20 pm – It’s a picture-perfect Autumn Sunday Morning, the kind that makes Rio de Janeiro one of the most celebrated cities in the world, the ‘Cidade Maravilhosa’ (City of Wonders).
On a day like that, it’s no wonder that people would flock to the beach.
But today, many people are not going to the famed Copacabana to be lazing on a Sunday morning; instead, they are gathering in yet another MASS demonstration against the socialist tyranny, in defense of democracy and in support of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
This comes right after the whole country became aware of the controversy pitting tech billionaire Elon Musk against the local Censorship Industrial Complex, led by a rogue Supreme Court and its self-appointed dictator, justice Alexandre de Moraes.
In the last few months, Brazilians watched as Bolsonaro, the greatest political leader, has been harassed, had his house raided, his passport taken, and his political rights suspended.
Meanwhile, the illegitimate President Lula da Silva leads a failing government rapidly destroying whatever economic stability we achieved under Bolsonaro’s no-nonsense administration.
Two months ago, a similar demonstration was held in the Streets of São Paulo, Brazil’s largest city and economic powerhouse. It gathered around 900,000 citizens to repudiate the socialist maneuvers to frame Bolsonaro for imaginary crimes (see link at the end of this post).
Lula was furious with the success of the São Paulo demonstration and wanted to stage a counter-rally, but his absolute lack of popular support meant that he could not.
But that didn’t stop him or his allies in the judiciary to keep harassing Bolsonaro and his followers, trying to institute a veritable dictatorship with the ridiculous excuse of ‘protecting the democracy’.
It is as they say in the US: ‘elections have consequences, and stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.’
But the Brazilian people have awakened, and it’s no coincidence that this is taking place on the holiday dedicated to Tiradentes (translatable as pull-teeth), the martyr for Brazilian independence.
It is as our national anthem says: ‘in thy bosom – O freedom, our chest challenges death itself’.
Columbia University: Masked protesters call to ‘Never forget the seventh of October’ and pledge to carry out similar attacks ‘10,000 times.’

UNREAL: They are FINING people for using wood stoves PETER IMANUELSEN
People in Britain can now be fined for heating their house with firewood.
APR 20, 2024 – You cannot make this up.
Another day goes by, and yet another insane climate law has been decided upon, all in the name of protecting the environment.
Now people living in South Gloucestershire in Britain can be fined if they want to heat their homes with firewood. Yes, you read that correctly.
With skyrocketing electricity prices, some people might try and save some money on heating by starting a cozy fire in the fireplace. But no…
This is bad for the environment as burning firewood emits bad particles they say.
But fear not! The Environmental health manager said that support would be available such as grants and low-interest LOANS so that homeowners can improve insulation in their houses and get renewable energy.
Really, people are being offered to take up a LOAN to insulate their house? In other words, that will costs people money.
With this push for useless wind turbines, naturally energy prices are going to go up in price. Because it is really simple. When the wind doesn’t blow, there is no electricity being produced. Ironically, we need the correct weather for the wind turbines to work.
[Ed.: The problem is not the wood stove, the problem is people. Leave the damned stoves alone, and just ban people.]
WOW: Michael Avenatti Says He is Willing to Testify on Behalf of Donald Trump in Hush Money Case By Cassandra Macdonald
Apr. 20, 2024 12:45 pm – Stormy Daniels’ former attorney, Michael Avenatti, has said that he is willing to testify on behalf of former President Donald Trump in the New York hush money trial.
Speaking to the New York Post from jail, Avenatti said he is in contact with Trump’s legal team and is willing to speak out against his former client.
“The defense has contacted me,” Avenatti told The Post.
Avenatti is currently being held at Terminal Island, a minimum-security federal prison in Los Angeles, serving a 19-year sentence for a slate of federal crimes that include extortion, tax evasion, fraud, and embezzlement.
“I’d be more than happy to testify, I don’t know that I will be called to testify, but I have been in touch with Trump’s defense for the better part of year,” Avenatti said.
Bishop Strickland Warns of ‘Crescendo of Apostasy’ by Vatican Forces Against Catholic Liturgy, Doctrine By Margaret Flavin
Apr. 20, 2024 4:45 pm – In November 2023, socialist Pope Francis removed Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas.
Strickland, appointed in 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI, had been vocal in his criticism of the Vatican’s approach towards LGBTQ issues, abortion, and the discussion around allowing priests to marry.
In announcing his removal, The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston said in a statement:
In June of this year, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, directed that an Apostolic Visitation of the Diocese of Tyler should be conducted. Bishop Dennis Sullivan of Camden and Bishop Emeritus Gerald Kicanas of Tucson were appointed to conduct the Visitation. The Prelates conducted an exhaustive inquiry into all aspects of the governance and leadership of the Diocese of Tyler by its Ordinary, Bishop Joseph Strickland.
As a result of the Visitation, the recommendation was made to the Holy Father that the continuation in office of Bishop Strickland was not feasible. After months of careful consideration by the Dicastery for Bishops and the Holy Father, the decision was reached that the resignation of Bishop Strickland should be requested. Having been presented with that request on November 9, 2023, Bishop Strickland declined to resign from office. Thereafter, on November 11, 2023, the Holy Father removed Bishop Strickland from the Office of Bishop of Tyler.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò characterized the dismissal as “a cowardly form of authoritarianism.”
But despite Pope Francis’ efforts to silence him, Bishop Strickland continues to speak out against the “powerful forces in the Vatican doing their best to dismantle every vestige of supernatural faith.”
On Friday, Lifesite shared his letter on the ‘crescendo of apostasy’ by Vatican forces against Catholic liturgy and doctrine.
Here is his letter in its entirety.

U.K.’s Only Munitions Factory Explodes, Just Days After U.S. Army Ammunition Factory Catches Fires in Scranton, PA By Anthony Scott
Apr. 20, 2024 5:20 pm – The United Kingdom’s lone munitions filing factory exploded on Wednesday, just two days after a fire erupted at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported on April 15th, the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant (SCAAP), the United States’ primary producer of 155mm artillery shell bodies, caught fire.
Just two days later, on April 17th, a section of the United Kingdom’s lone munition factory exploded after a single shell went off inside the factory.
The explosion occurred at the BAE Systems munitions factory in Glascoed, Wales.
BAE Systems is the biggest defense contractor in Europe and the 7th largest in the world.
The cause of the explosion at the munition factory is currently being investigated.
Per The Daily Mail:
Locals living close to a BAE Systems weapons plant rocked by an explosion earlier today say the blast ‘felt like an earthquake’ as a shell went off.
The blast took place at the BAE Systems munitions factory in Glascoed, Monmouthshire shortly before 10.50am.
MailOnline understands the explosion relates to a single shell going off at the munitions filling factory, run by BAE, Europe’s biggest military contractor.
Emergency services were deployed to the site, which is spread across a large field close to the south-eastern village; locals say the blast ‘wasn’t loud, but felt like an earthquake’.
BAE Systems has promised a full investigation into the incident at the factory, which is the UK’s last remaining munitions filling factory.

“We Don’t Discuss Tactics…or the Way We Operate” – WOW! More Than 8 Months Later, The FBI Tells Media to Pound Sand, REFUSES to Say Why They Killed Disabled Veteran Theodore Deschler in Pre-Dawn Raid By Cristina Laila
Apr. 20, 2024 4:30 pm – It has been more than 8 months since the FBI killed disabled veteran Theodore Deschler in a pre-dawn raid at his mother’s Tennessee home and they are refusing to provide any details about the case.
The Tennessee Star reached out to the FBI this week for answers about the deadly raid. The FBI told them to pound sand.
“We don’t discuss tactics, techniques or the way we operate,” Memphis FBI Chief Division Counsel and Public Affairs Officer Joel Siskovic said to The Tennessee Star. “That’s not a question we would ever answer.”
The Tennessee Star reported:
More than eight months after a raid that left a Henderson man dead, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) won’t disclose details about the case, while the local police department says they weren’t made aware of the raid until after it happened.
FBI agents shot and killed Theodore Deschler (pictured above) at his mother’s home where he lived in August of last year.
The circumstances surrounding his death remain murky. This week, The Tennessee Star followed up with the law enforcement entities involved in the deadly raid, but details remain hard to come by.
The Star asked the FBI what transpired before Theodore Deschler’s death.
“We don’t discuss tactics, techniques or the way we operate,” Memphis FBI Chief Division Counsel and Public Affairs Officer Joel Siskovic said. “That’s not a question we would ever answer.”
Siskovic said the FBI never discusses operations like the raid on Theodore Deschler’s home and that the only way to obtain more information is through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
The family is also desperately seeking answers after FBI agents busted down the door to Bonnie Deschler’s home and killed her son Theodore Deschler in front of her in a pre-dawn raid last August.
The FBI is refusing to tell Bonnie Deschler why they showed up in armored vehicles at 6 am on August 16, pulled her out of the house, tossed her into the back of a police vehicle, and fatally shot her unarmed son.
“It’s none of your business!” FBI agents told her after they blew up her house and killed her son.
According to WBBJ, FBI agents showed up at Bonnie Deschler’s home in Henderson, Tennessee to serve her son Theodore an arrest warrant when things turned deadly.
A neighbor told WBBJ he woke up at 6 am after he heard a loud bang.
“I was woken up at about six o’clock this morning. I heard a loud bang. Then I heard a couple more. I heard the loudspeakers, ‘Come out with your hands up. We’re the FBI. We’re not going anywhere.’ Before I knew it, I was coming out to see what was going on and watched them bust out their windows,” a neighbor told WBBJ.
Theodore’s family believes he was unarmed when the agents busted down the door and threw flashbangs into the home.
“It was a senseless act. You know Teddy was a 100% disabled veteran. He had problems. He had severe PTSD. He had depression but he was getting help for it but this was senseless. He didn’t have a weapon on him. He was just trying to get out of the house because it was filled with tear gas,” Theodore’s mother Bonnie told WBBJ.
The house was destroyed by tear gas, flashbangs and bullets. Most of the windows were busted out.
According to Bonnie Deschler, her son was unarmed and standing in the doorway when he was killed by FBI agents.
“You couldn’t see. The height of the door and where Teddy was standing when they shot him and killed him, you couldn’t see if he was armed or not and you know he wasn’t. Because if you look at the door you could see where his hands were full of blood and went down the door. Well if he had a weapon in his hand…,” Bonnie Deschler told WBBJ.
The FBI-involved shooting is currently under investigation so the family is in the dark about the details of the raid.
According to Fox News, in a previously unreported detail, Theodore Deschler “was arrested as a suspect following a gas station stabbing in a nearby town, according to the Selmer Police Department.”
Details of the stabbing, which occurred in May just a few months before the FBI raid are unclear.
It is also unclear if there are any charges stemming from the stabbing or if the FBI raid was connected to the incident.

WATCH: Democrat Representatives Wave Ukrainian Flags on House Floor After Voting to Give Them Another $60.8 Billion By Cassandra Macdonald
Apr. 20, 2024 2:00 pm – Democrat members of Congress waved Ukrainian flags on the House floor after voting to give them another $60.8 billion in taxpayer funds.
The $95.3 billion foreign aid package funds Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan — with nothing for Americans.
On Saturday, the package was approved 311-112 with all of the “nay” votes from Republicans.
“Ukrainian flags fly in the chamber of the UNITED STATES House of Representatives as they vote to send more of your hard-earned money to a corrupt foreign regime. And just like that they shout ‘UKRAINE! UKRAINE!’ while happily working to secure Ukraine’s borders, not ours,” Senator Rand Paul wrote in a post on X.
“Put those damn flags away!” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said.
Republicans on X were quick to blast the lawmakers for waving foreign flags on the floor of our Congress.

“Waiving foreign flags on the House floor? This is what a nation that has been conquered looks like,” Blaze TV host Lauren Chen wrote.

BREAKING: House RINOS Pass Mike Johnson’s Biden Backed $95 BILLION in Foreign Aid Bills Including ADDITIONAL $60.84 BILLION to Ukraine – Here Are The RINOs Who Voted to Fund Conflicts Oceans Away By Jordan Conradson
Apr. 20, 2024 1:31 pm – The House of Representatives on Saturday passed three bills to hand out money to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and other non-U.S. involved conflict zones around the world.
The Democrats waved Ukranian flags on the floor of the United States House of Representatives as they voted to send $60 BILLION of taxpayer money to secure a foreign border.
In the last month, Republicans under Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership have given up a $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans, reauthorization for warrantless searches of Americans under FISA Section 702, and now this.
As a result, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) recently announced that they will co-sponsor Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) Motion to Vacate the Chair and remove Mike Johnson as Speaker.
As Gold Prices Hit Record Highs, One 12-Page Pamphlet Tells the Story of God, Gold and Glory
President Trump on Thursday came out in opposition to the foreign aid package demanding that Europe equalize America’s contributions to Ukraine’s war–in Europe. “Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation!” said Trump in a scathing Truth Social post.
This comes after President Trump aired similar sentiments in a press conference with Speaker Johnson last week. He noted that “we keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars” and called on Europe to give money to equalize America’s aid contributions. Trump also stated that he wanted to see Mike Johnson and Republicans in Congress attach loan terms to the aid we’re providing.
However, as The Gateway Pundit reported that the “loan” structure in the package Mike Johnson announced Wednesday includes FULL LOAN FORGIVENESS!
the package Johnson announced Wednesday includes terms that will allow the President to cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt after November 15, 2024 and the remaining 50% after January 1, 2024. It’s no wonder why Joe Biden came out “strongly” in support of the package, urging the House and Senate to pass it.
This means that after President Trump wins the 2024 election, as expected, Joe Biden can cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt before his term ends in January. However, if Biden and the Democrats pull off another stolen election, they can forgive 100% of Ukraine’s debt a little over one year later. This isn’t a loan. It’s a handout.
“I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.
Revised Section 702 Surveillance Authority Poses More Danger Than Ever J.D. TUCCILLE
New language could make almost anybody with access to a WiFi router help the government snoop.
4.18.2024 4:45 PM – At press time, the U.S. Senate is debating whether to not only renew the U.S. government’s spying powers under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) but dramatically expand them. That’s because the House, in reauthorizing the expiring powers last week after an extended battle, adopted language that broadens the definition of those who can be forced to help the government snoop. That leaves the Senate as the last check on already controversial legislation that just became more dangerous before it’s signed by a president eager to exercise its power.
Unchecked Surveillance Authority
“The legislation coming from the House gives the government unchecked authority to order millions of Americans to spy on behalf of the government,” warns Sen. Ron Wyden (D–Ore.). “Under current law—section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act—the government can order the telephone companies and email and internet service providers to hand over communications. This bill expands that power dramatically. It says that the government can force cooperation from, quote, ‘any other service provider who has access to equipment that is being or may be used to transmit or store wire or electronic communications.'”
The problem, point out privacy advocates, is that even before the House of Representatives debated the provisions of the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA)—rejecting (on a tie vote) a requirement that government agents get a warrant before searching records about Americans, and ultimately settling on a two-year renewal of surveillance powers—members of the House Intelligence Committee inserted new and troubling language.
Their intention, according to Charlie Savage of The New York Times, was to clarify that cloud-computing data centers must cooperate with government spooks. But that’s not what they confined themselves to in their changes to the text. As Wyden emphasizes, the bill now broadly applies to service providers with access to communication equipment. After much protest, exceptions were written in for hotels, restaurants, dwellings, and community centers. But everybody else is subject to the law.
Everyone Is a Spy
“An enormous range of businesses would still be fair game,” protests a coalition of privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights groups in a letter to Senate leadership from both parties, “including grocery stores, department stores, hardware stores, laundromats, barber shops, fitness centers, and—perhaps most disturbingly—commercial landlords that rent out the office space where tens of millions of Americans go to work every day, including news media headquarters, political campaign offices, advocacy and grassroots organizations, lobbying firms, and law offices.”
The coalition, which includes groups of widely varying political views, refers to this language as the “Everyone Is a Spy” provision, since potentially anybody with access to a laptop or WiFi router could be compelled to help the government conduct surveillance. Given how broadly the word access can be defined, that might even include cable installers, repairmen, and house cleaners.
“If this became law, millions of American small business owners would have a legal obligation to hand over data that runs through their equipment,” caution former Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R–Va.) and former Sen. Mark Udall (D–Colo.), both now with the Project for Privacy and Surveillance Accountability. “And when they’re done with doing their part in mass surveillance, these small businesses would then be placed under a gag order to hide their activities from their customers.”

Report: US deployed microwave missiles that can disable Iran’s nuclear facilities
Mary Lou Robinson, former chief of the Air Force’s High Power Microwave Division, confirmed to DailyMail.com that the missiles are “ready to take out any military target, including nuclear facilities.”
04-20-2024 11:31 (Israel Hayom) – According to an exclusive report from DailyMail.com, the US Air Force has quietly deployed a new type of missile that can destroy the electronics of Iran’s nuclear facilities using high-power microwaves, without causing any fatalities.
The missiles, known as the Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), were developed by Boeing’s Phantom Works for the US Air Force Research Laboratory. After successful testing in 2012, around 20 of these microwave missiles became operational and were deployed to various locations around the globe in 2019.
As DailyMail.com reports, the CHAMP missiles are air-launched cruise missiles fitted with an electromagnetic pulse cannon that generates a concentrated beam of high-power microwave energy. This energy can fry the computer chips and electronic systems of targeted facilities, rendering them inoperable.
“We hit every target we wanted to,” said Boeing’s CHAMP Program Manager Keith Colman after the successful 2012 test, adding “Today we made science fiction into science fact.”
Mary Lou Robinson, former chief of the Air Force’s High Power Microwave Division, confirmed to DailyMail.com that the missiles are “ready to take out any military target, including nuclear facilities.”
The key advantage of these microwave weapons is that they can penetrate buried bunkers and command centers through electrical and communications connections, disabling electronics without causing structural damage or loss of life. “The beauty of the HPM missile is that its microwave beam can penetrate bunkers where facilities are hidden without harming humans inside,” DailyMail.com reports.
They also have the ability to disable defensive radar systems, striking their targets undetected. “Most amazing of all, the missile renders inoperable any radar that might detect it as it flies to and from a target. Thus, a country cannot take out CHAMP before it strikes and has no way of knowing why its facilities have suddenly gone dead,” according to DailyMail.com.
While details are limited due to operational security concerns, the existence of this operational microwave missile capability highlights the stealthy options available to the US military to counter threats like Iran’s nuclear program through electronic disruption rather than kinetic force.
