J6 Pipe Bomber Story Goes Boom
replies
It remains the greatest unsolved mystery related to the events of January 6: Who placed pipe bombs near the headquarters of both the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee the night before?(snip)In perhaps the most alarming portion of D’Antuono’s testimony, he revealed that the FBI does not have a complete account of cell phone use in the area on January 5, data that would easily result in tracking the perpetrator’s identity. In what Revolver News’ Darren Beattie described as “the dog ate the geofencing data” excuse, D’Antuono claimed data from one provider was “corrupted” and unusable.
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors filed a motion on Friday to prevent former President Donald Trump from releasing any evidence shared with his legal team to the media during his prosecution stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump’s handling of White House documents.
Trump appeared in federal court on Tuesday, where he was arraigned on 37 counts relating to Smith’s investigation.“The Discovery Materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or
President Putin told the West to 'go to hell' on nuclear arms reduction as he confirmed he has moved nuclear weapons into Belarus, claiming it is a precautionary measure for 'anyone thinking of inflicting a strategic defeat' on Russia.
Speaking at Russia's flagship economic forum in St Petersburg, Putin told those gathered that the first warheads had arrived in the country, but that this was only 'the first part' of the planned delivery.
He added: 'Just talking about this (the potential use of nuclear weapons) lowers the nuclear threshold. We have more than NATO countries and they want to reduce our numbers. Go to hell.'
I guarantee you every woman who watches this video knows exactly what actress Eva Longoria knew as Joe Biden moved in for the pro-creeper boob groping maneuver. Chicks just know these things, and many know how to be diplomatic in extracting themselves when it happens in public.
During a White House screening of the Film “Flamin’ Hot,” Jun 15, 2023 Joe Biden gives Eva Longoria his signature grope move. Watch as Creepy Joe does the side boob groping move and Longoria expertly grabs his hands to displace the grope as it happens. Make sure to watch the slow-mo in the Twitter video to see the closeup.

The United Kingdom has opened an inquiry into what worked, what didn’t, and what can be done better in light of the experience the country had during the COVID pandemic.
Gee, what a concept.
They are at just the beginning stages, so we have no idea how it will turn out, but early indications are that it at least won’t be solely a whitewash.
Again, what a concept. Actually trying to learn something from experience rather than confirm one’s priors. It’s almost as if covering everybody’s asses isn’t the sole value.
The opening of the inquiry laid some cards on the table: nobody had a clue what they were getting into, and nobody
As consumers run out of cash, the economy is likely to sputter its way into hard economic times, according to a major bank’s leading economist.
In predicting a 100 percent chance of a recession, David Folkerts-Landau, Deutsche Bank’s chief economist, wrote, “The U.S. is heading for its first genuine policy-led boom-bust cycle in at least four decades,” USA Today reported Thursday.
“The inflation we see was induced largely by expansive fiscal and monetary policy, and the aggressive rate hikes needed to tame that have now materialized. Avoiding a hard landing would be historically unprecedented,” he wrote.
During a recent event in Florida of approximately 1,000 audience members, Kari Lake asked the crowd if anyone supports Ron DeSantis? The response from the audience is reflective of the typical Floridian response now that DeSantis has shown his political ambitions and dispatched Florida voters. :(video)(snip) […] At one point in her remarks to about 1,000 people who attended the event, Lake named each of the Republican candidates challenging Trump, (snip)

In June 2022, The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft reported that an Obama judge had sealed the much anticipated Halderman Report on election voting machines used in Georgia.Corrupt Obama Judge Amy Totenberg sealed and covered up the results of an investigation of voting machines in Georgia. This report has still not been released. This week CISA released a report showing material discrepancies in these systems while attempting to downplay these material issues.
Corrupt Obama Judge Amy Totenberg is the sister of NPR’s far-left correspondent Nina Totenberg.
As we previously reported earlier this week, on Tuesday, while Donald Trump was speaking to his followers at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., Fox News presented a divided screen showing both Trump and President Joe Biden, featuring a chyron that read: “Wannabe dictator speaks at White House after having his political rival arrested.” [Video]
As if to showcase just how unafraid he is of his current/former employer Fox News, Tucker Carlson spoke of the incident in his latest episode of “Tucker” on Twitter and held nothing back as he questioned why the left was so triggered by the chyron, which aired for less than thirty seconds.
Former President Donald Trump, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, responded to recent commentary from Tucker Carlson that the Washington establishment hates him because he opposes their failed foreign policy agenda.
“Tucker Carlson — a very good guy — is exactly right. The number one reason the totally corrupt Biden administration and the sick Washington establishment are after me is because I stand up to their failed foreign policy agenda,” he said in a video posted by his campaign on social media, adding:
The one thing Washington cannot forgive is that I put America first — always put America first. I could never help it.
Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams backtracked on his vow to house migrants in Gracie Mansion on Thursday, saying that the “symbolism” of his offer spoke volumes.
Adams said earlier in June that he’d welcome migrants into the five-room Gracie Mansion if city lawyers approved it, but backtracked Thursday during a press conference with reporters.

Christian colleges in Minnesota will be allowed to keep offering college credits to high school students — for now. On Wednesday, the Minnesota District Court issued an injunction prohibiting the enforcement of an amendment that greenlights discrimination against religious students.
Under Minnesota’s 1985 Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program, capable students can earn free college credits at local institutions of higher education while they are still in high school. (snip)
An amendment passed during the 2023 legislative session, however, removed religious colleges from the program by prohibiting these postsecondary schools from requiring a statement of faith from students.
Barack Obama popped up for an interview on CNN with his old pal David Axelrod and took off after Senator Tim Scott. Scott is running for president and Obama is in a snit about a conservative black man with a compelling life story running for the top job. Scott doesn’t divide Americans along racial lines or present a positive vision of the American Dream so he must be trashed by jealous Democrats.
Ponder back to the days of Barack Obama in the White House. He suckered in voters with a phony upbeat message of Yes, We Can and giving voters the hope and change schtick. Not only did
Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said in a recent interview that if elected president of the United States, he would have to “be careful” given the CIA’s alleged involvement in the assassination of his uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy.
When asked by podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan if he was concerned that the CIA could try to take him out too, Kennedy replied, “Well, I gotta be careful. I’m aware of that, you know, I’m aware of that danger. I don’t live in fear of it at all.” He added: “But I’m not stupid about it, and I take precautions.”
Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers and was labeled the “most dangerous man in America” by Henry Kissinger, has died at age 92.
Ellsberg announced in March that he was terminally ill with pancreatic cancer, sharing on Facebook: “When I copied the Pentagon Papers in 1969, I had every reason to think I would be spending the rest of my life behind bars. It was a fate I would gladly have accepted if it meant hastening the end of the Vietnam War, unlikely as that seemed (and was). Yet in the end, that action—in ways I could not have foreseen, due to Nixon’s illegal responses
It sure seems a reflection of where the nation is spiritually that none of three contestants on a recent episode of “Jeopardy” could name a word from the opening of the Lord’s Prayer.
Host Mayim Bialik said to the contestants, “Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father, which art in heaven,’ this ‘be thy name.”
So the correct response was, “What is hallowed?” but no one got it. Wow!
Staffing for those investigations has fluctuated over time according to their status and resource needs,” Uriarte wrote. “With the understanding that these numbers are not static, the statement will reflect expenditures on approximately 26 Special Agents who worked either full or part-time on Special Counsel Smith’s investigations in some capacity during that timeframe. Additional Special Agents have been used from time to time for specific, discrete tasks related to the investigations.
A hospital and doctors in California are facing a new lawsuit for removing the breasts of a 13-year-old girl after she claimed she was a boy.

The Fox News producer thought to have been responsible for running a provocative banner headline about Joe Biden during Donald Trump’s response to his criminal indictment on Tuesday has left the network, according to reports.

A top aide for President Biden’s re-election campaign is married to a consultant who helped advise Hunter Biden as he was receiving increased public scrutiny regarding his lucrative position on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. Elizabeth Alexander, the communications director for first lady Jill Biden, went on temporary leave last month to help lead the messaging arm of Biden’s campaign. She previously served as the president’s spokesperson when he was in the Senate and when he was vice president. She also worked on the president’s 2020 campaign as a senior adviser for communications.

Hunter Biden was finally forced to answer questions about his shady finances today - and his Arkansas baby mama made sure she was there to listen in, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Lunden Roberts sprung a major surprise on the president's son, 53, by turning up in person to hear him being deposed for the first time in their bitter, years-long child paternity battle.
Sources told DailyMail.com the move would crank up the pressure on the Biden scion as Roberts' attorneys prepared to grill him under oath about his earnings from secretive business deals in Ukraine, China and elsewhere.
In what some Republican leaders are calling a classic case of cutting off your nose to spite your face, President Joe Biden could lose his own party nomination to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in New Hampshire’s historically important primary in the race for the presidency.
Biden’s successful push to re-calendar New Hampshire’s long-standing First in the Nation primary, making it second to South Carolina, means the president’s name will likely not appear on the state’s Democrat primary ballot.
Both Republican and Democrat leaders in New Hampshire have meanwhile vowed not to yield to the schedule change and have cited a state law that prohibits the move anyway.
MSNBC spent 93 percent of Tuesday discussing former President Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday and it appears some at the network think that number is too low. One of those voices belongs to contributor, professor, and former Solicitor General Neal Katyal, who joined Thursday’s edition of The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle to demand that Judge Aileen Cannon work with Chief Justice John Roberts to televise the trial.
His remarks also come as the network tries its hardest to discredit Cannon by doubting her ability to be impartial, so not only is MSNBC demanding the judge rule certain ways, but also that she consider their programming demands,
Walt Nauta is a 10-year veteran of the Navy and served as an aide to former President Donald Trump both in and out of office.
Special Counsel Jack Smith has now indicted him for allegedly "making false statements in interviews with the FBI." The indictment's subtext is that Nauta refused to cooperate with, and turn state's evidence to, the special counsel in its efforts to convict Trump.
But why stop the indictments with a man who loyally served and followed the orders of the former president of the United States, was a Navy veteran, and a hard-working immigrant from Guam?

A Marquette University professor said the American flag makes him “anxious” in a National Public Radio interview Wednesday.
Philosophy Professor Grant Silva told an interviewer with WUWM, an NPR affiliate station in Milwaukee, that he feels “anxious” when he sees an American flag. In the interview, Silva described how “excessive imagery” of American flags is borderline “nationalism.”
“I also get a little bit anxious around the excessive imagery of the flag in part because in my experience, patriotism quickly slips into nationalism,” Silva said. “Especially the simplistic version of patriotism, the flag-waving, my country love it or leave it kind of attitude. That is just a hop, skip and a jump away
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) warned Fox News that Matt Walsh’s report that the cable giant’s parent company promotes radical gender theory could prove “devastating” to the news network, which he said provides “much-needed, conservative content.”

Biden family business associate Devon Archer is cooperating with House Republicans who are investigating an alleged $10 million bribery payment from a top Ukrainian gas company executive to Joe and Hunter Biden.
The news of Archer's cooperation comes after House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer subpoenaed him on Monday, saying his testimony is 'critical' to the Republicans' investigation based on his deep ties to Biden family business deals internationally - including in Ukraine - and demanded him to appear for a deposition by Friday.
A committee aide confirmed to DailyMail.com that the deposition isn't happening today, but the committee is in contact with Archer's attorney about having him appear another day.
am a former assistant U.S. attorney, worked on two Supreme Court confirmations, and clerked for two federal appellate judges. I have reviewed the indictment brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith in the documents case against former President Donald Trump, and have serious concerns with the way this case is being framed in the public and with some aspects of the way the prosecution itself is being conducted.
Here are six major issues I see that need to be addressed by the special counsel’s team. 1. Interplay Between the Espionage Act and the Presidential Records Act.
Former President Donald Trump continues to hold a commanding lead in New Hampshire, according to a new poll taken after he was indicted and arraigned in a Miami court for willful possession of national security information.
Trump's support has crept up to 47 per cent in a new New Hampshire Journal / coefficient poll, taken post-indictment.
He was already running strongly in surveys in the early primary state. The poll had Trump at 47 per cent, just shy of a majority, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 13 per cent.
The secretive “Area 51” Air Force test range in southern Nevada established in the 1950s helped the U.S. and USAF prevail in the Cold War. Former Navy Captain Jerry Hendrix argues establishing a similar “Area 52” within Lake Michigan for the U.S. Navy could help us prevail in years to come. (Snip) “Foreign adversaries showed up not only to observe the operations and learn what they could about the United States’ most cutting-edge naval capabilities,” Hendrix wrote in Proceedings, “but also seized one of those assets,” a reference to the Saildrone Explorer unmanned surface vessel seized by Iran in August, 2022.
Adam Schiff not out of the woodshed yet:

GOP will move again to condemn his ‘false accusations’ replies
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said Thursday that Republicans will try again to censure Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for making "false accusations" against former President Trump, after the House voted down a censure resolution against Schiff on Wednesday. In that vote, 20 Republicans rejected Luna’s censure resolution, in part because it recommended a $16 million fine against Schiff for telling "lies" about collusion between former President Trump and Russia, something that several investigations were never able to prove. Luna says that number is roughly half the cost of investigating Trump, probes that were never able to show collusion.

Since Jack Smith and his prosecutors dropped a multicount federal indictment against President Trump, multiple grounds have surfaced warranting dismissal of the embarrassing prosecutorial sideshow in South Florida. Already, Smith’s indictment faces multiple legal challenges.

Fox News reports that twenty Republicans in the House of Representatives sided with most Democrats in voting against a resolution that would have censured Rep. Adam Schiff, (D-Calif.), for repeatedly peddling the hoax that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. The reprehensible Schiff was one of the foremost proponents of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. He repeated the falsehood in every forum possible. With every appearance, the lies became more ridiculous. He even claimed that Trump was an asset to the Kremlin. This wasn't a mistake on Schiff's part. Schiff knew these were fabrications but he said it anyway.
Trump Arrested -- Film at 11:00
replies
Stupidity manifests as mindlessly repeating actions which previously yielded negative results. Because they know nothing else, Trump’s deranged opposition continues digging ever deeper holes. Nothing was learned from the Bragg arrest. All Bragg accomplished was to increase Trump’s poll numbers and eliminate the remainder of the GOP primary field. His primary opponents are so innocuous to the Deep State they can’t even get arrested! They stand mute while Trump’s persecutors trash the rule of law. If they protest, they essentially support Trump. If they remain silent, they countenance tyranny. All but Vivek Ramaswamy selected the latter.

A federal judge scheduled E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation trial against former President Donald Trump for January 2024, just days before Republican primary voters will begin the presidential nomination process.

The latest absurdist turn in the border disaster? “Smuggling influencers.”
Yes, you read that right: Cross-border people-smugglers for hire, called coyotes, have taken to TikTok and YouTube to strut their stuff and snag business.
They’re expertly wielding tech, using hashtag codes to geo-target potential customers, sharing info on Customs and Border Patrol movements and pumping out promotional videos boasting images of happy, excited migrants rushing to a new life here.
Prospective customers can also sign up via the platforms (as long as they have the $10,000-plus coyotes usually demand, of course).
One of the great frustrations I have with most of the Republican candidates for president, especially including Donald Trump, is that they are talking about Donald Trump all the time.
The 2020 election is in the rearview mirror, and the 2024 election should be–must be–about America’s future, not whether and how much Donald Trump is being persecuted by his enemies or betrayed by the people that he hired. Trump keeps talking about himself, and everybody else is either talking about Trump or knocking Ron DeSantis.
Politically speaking there is a reason why they are doing this–they need to stand out from the pack and to knock down the top two candidates
Late last December, while shopping at Target, I noticed something peculiar about the wrapping paper in Christmas clearance merchandise: Nobody was buying the gay pride-themed items, despite the fact that they were marked down to 90 cents a roll. I wrote about that here.
Now that there's been a hullaballoo at Target over its aggressive merchandising of LGBTQ+ promotional items, which drove its stock down for a period, and forced it to move its prominent displays in some outlets, how are those sales going? Well, on a visit to Target on Balboa Avenue in San Diego on May 30, where the merchandise had just been pulled back from immediate visibility
Karl Rove criticized former President Donald Trump this week following the arraignment over his alleged mishandling of classified documents, warning that “America will pay a high price for the former president’s reckless petulance.”
Rove, a former top aide to former President George W. Bush, wrote in an opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that “America has been plunged into an unprecedented crisis by the indictment of Donald Trump.”
“The blame for this calamity rests solely on Mr. Trump and his childish impulse to keep mementos from his time in the Oval Office, no matter what the law says,” Rove said.
We’ve covered some of the legal opinions on the Trump indictment, and there are some varied views. We’ve reported some of them, including those from Jonathan Turley, Andrew McCarthy, and Alan Dershowitz, among others.But there’s a Twitter thread from Will Scharf that makes some interesting points that are not being picked up by the media. Scharf is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who worked on two Supreme Court confirmations and clerked for two federal appellate judges. He’s also running for Missouri Attorney General. Like many, he thinks the prosecution against the former president is “outrageous.”

Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi began a five-day tour of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, three Latin American countries governed by authoritarian, anti-Western regimes. Raisi’s three predecessors all visited the region previously, and Iran’s alliances with local authoritarians are not new. But this time, the strategic landscape is different. In 2023, China, Russia, and Iran are all chipping away at what used to be primarily uncontested U.S. influence. Raisi has come to claim Iran’s share in the spoils.
Some observations on special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of former President Donald Trump:
No. 1: The indictment is valid. It shows Trump, in voluntarily recorded conversation, revealing to onlookers the contents of government documents classified top secret and, in exchanges with his attorneys, refusing to turn over this material and encouraging them and an aide to conceal it from the government.The contention that these were just "personal records," like the transcripts of interviews of Bill Clinton by historian Taylor Branch were ruled to be, seems unpersuasive.
Some of the best advice ever given was from Mark Twain, who said “it’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt.” We’re not saying Joe Biden is stupid, but his comment about “plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean,” removes all doubt that he is all there.
Speaking Wednesday evening before the League of Conservation Voters’ annual dinner, Biden waxed ineloquently:
“We’re talking about building — and I had my team putting together with other countries as well — to build a railroad from the Pacific Ocean

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) weighed in on the raunchy display that occurred at the White House during last weekend’s “pride” event, deeming it “totally inappropriate” and asking how such an ideology is appropriate for classrooms.

“I think when you have the inappropriate conduct at the White House, with like transgender[s] flashing people nude and all this stuff, you know, just totally, totally inappropriate,” he said.
