Protesters gathered at the site Monday morning after a man and his two middle school children were arrested that morning on their way to school. Protesters formed a human chain in front of the field office gates Monday night to block federal agents from removing the family from the facility.

Last month, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced it had partnered with the Department of the Interior to cut $14 million worth of environmental grants, including $2.5 million for New Mexico.
The Institute of Applied Ecology, based in both Oregon and here in New Mexico, is one of the organizations that had a large swath of its funding cut.
“We work with native plant materials development,” said Katy Silbert, the assistant branch director of the institute’s southwestern branch. “Which means that we are collecting seeds from the wild to then grow those plants and put them back on the landscape.”
Andrew McCabe was recently on CNN and he appeared to be trying to separate himself from Jim Comey. Andrew McCabe must be scared after Comey was arrested. Unfortunately for him, there was a report put together of his wrongdoings while he was conspiring with Comey to remove President Trump from office.
On April 14, 2019, The Gateway Pundit outlined the significant items in the Inspector General’s report on McCabe.
Today is a day of despair, and it would be futile to tell those who fear and grieve for what is to come in America that they will be OK. It would also be dishonest: many of us, in truth, will not be OK.
Donald Trump has decisively won the American election. He and his Republican allies have promised mass deportations that will ruin lives and sunder families; they have threatened to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and appoint the anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F Kennedy Jr to a position of authority on public health. They have pledged vast cuts to social security and Medicare, .
Jack Smith’s October Surprise
13 replies
Jack Smith has failed in his quest to try Donald Trump before the 2024 election. So instead, the Special Counsel has bent ordinary procedure to get in one last shot, just weeks before voters go to the polls.
,
Smith has now dropped a 165-page doorstop of a filing in federal court, on the issue of Trump’s immunity from prosecution. Judge Tanya Chutkan – who suddenly claims not to care about the impending election despite her earlier efforts to expedite the case to get it in before the very same election, which got her reversed and chastised by the Supreme Court – duly complied with Smith’s

arrest this week after DOJ refuses criminal referral 9 replies
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., is planning to force a vote on directing the House Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Attorney General Merrick Garland sometime this week.
Luna is sending a letter around to fellow House Republicans on Monday arguing that the Department of Justice (DOJ) undermined Congress by refusing to act on the contempt resolution passed by the GOP majority earlier this month.
"The only option to ensure compliance with our subpoena is to use our constitutional authority of inherent contempt," Luna said. "In the next few days, I will call up my resolution holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in inherent contempt of Congress, and I look forward to each of you voting
A previously censored paper from The Lancet has now undergone peer review and is available online.
The study, titled “A Systematic Review of Autopsy Findings in Deaths After COVID-19 Vaccination,” analyzed 325 autopsy cases and found that a staggering 73.9% of deaths were either directly due to or significantly contributed to by the COVID-19 vaccination.
The paper’s lead author, Dr. Nicolas Hulscher, faced significant opposition in bringing these findings to light. After initially being downloaded over 100,000 times, The Lancet removed the paper within 24 hours, according to Dr. William Makis.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In-person classes have been canceled at a local charter school for the rest of the week after the roof of its new gym collapsed.
School officials say the new gym at the Explore Academy middle and high school campus was basically complete. They were even planning on hosting a ribbon cutting Wednesday, but that’s been canceled, as well as all in-person classes.
Parents learned about the collapse through an email from the school Sunday night.
“The students are out the whole week now,” a parent told KOB 4 anonymously. “Because they have to get inspectors to gather and, at the request of the inspectors in particular,
In a wide-ranging interview Thursday with The Durango Herald, Clive Kincaid recounted his life story and the role he played in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riots.
In explaining his life story, he said it is important for understanding how he ended up at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Kincaid, 75, was charged this month for his role at the U.S. Capitol.
He called his parents extremists on “both sides” and said he no longer has “one iota of faith in this country.”
“My father was a Marxist, an out-and-out communist,” Kincaid said. “My mother was from Germany. She grew up in Germany before and during World War II
A Pagosa Springs man has been arrested and charged on suspicion of participating in the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.

He is charged with four crimes, including entering the Capitol without lawful authority; disorderly and disruptive conduct on restricted grounds; disorderly conduct in the Capitol; and parading, demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol.
Kincaid made an initial court appearance Tuesday in a federal courtroom in Durango.
Rep. Lauren Boebert continues to be a force in political fundraising.
She once again raised more than not only her opponents for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District seat but also every other candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in the state.
The Republican incumbent reported a haul of nearly $808,000 in the final quarter of 2021, according to Federal Election Commission filings. That includes over $762,000 in donations from individuals, with the rest from political action committees or other campaign committees.

Joe Biden emerged from hiding on Sunday night to deliver a Trump-bashing speech that once again illustrates just how tone-deaf he and his handlers are with reality.
As ABC News reported, 82-year-old Biden was speaking publicly for the first time since completing a round of radiation therapy for an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
The former White House occupier was present to receive a lifetime achievement award for inspired leadership from the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Boston.
Biden soon turned his speech into a Trump-bashing session, implying the president was a dictator.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates now says climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise,” despite having spent years fearmongering over rising global temperatures.
Gates authored a surprising blog post on Monday advocating for climate activists to move away from the “doomsday outlook” they have spent years peddling.
“Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity’s demise,” wrote Gates, who has spent billions of dollars on climate-related initiatives. “People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.”
Gavin Newsom has said a lot of ridiculous things over the years, but his latest claim takes the cake; saying he was a “young street hustler” who survived on mac & cheese and Wonder Bread might be his dumbest line yet. And fear not, the internet is coming for him hard.You almost have to admire Gavin Newsom’s commitment to absolute delusion. The man’s been handed everything his entire life. Talk about coming into the world with a silver spoon in your mouth. This guy was born into San Francisco high society, connected to the Getty family, practically raised on private jets and trust funds, and now he’s trying to convince
At least nineteen people were shot, three of them fatally, over the course of the past weekend in Democrat-run Chicago.
Breitbart News reported at least 11 people were shot Friday into Saturday night alone, and one of those shooting victims succumbed to his wounds.
By Monday, CBS News noted the tally of wounded reached at least 16 and at least two additional shooting fatalities had occurred.
The first of the two additional shooting fatalities occurred “in the 4100 block of West Jackson Boulevard” at 3:10 p.m. on Saturday. A 23-year-old man was inside a vehicle when someone shot him in the chest, killing him.
TOKYO — President Trump announced Toyota has promised $10 billion in investments toward new manufacturing plants in the US — urging people to “go out and buy a Toyota” in a wide-ranging speech to sailors aboard the USS George Washington Tuesday in Tokyo Bay.
Trump, who is making trade and economic deals a top goal of his three-nation regional tour, said that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told him earlier in the day that the world’s largest car company would pour funds into American manufacturing plants.
Springsteen’ Movie Bombs All over the World
19 replies
Here in America, the Springsteen biopic opened to a truly dreadful $9.1 million. With billions more customers available overseas and Springsteen’s status as a global superstar, you’d think that’s where the money is.Nope.
The movie only scooped up another $7 million internationally, which means that its overall global take was a measly $16 million.
How bad is that?Well, box office analysts believed the worst it would do just here in America was $15 million, and it ended up only barely topping the domestic worst-case scenario all over the world.
Is this a case of “Go woke, go broke?”
Well, as I wrote on Sunday,
One aspect of the government shutdown that probably wasn’t anticipated by Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, is that it has revealed to the public just how many people receive food stamps. Years ago, when the program was still called ‘food stamps’ it was seen as something that struggling families might use temporarily to get through a hard time. Then it was re-branded as the ‘SNAP’ program and destigmatized. People were encouraged to enroll. Now there are many more people using the program, many who probably don’t even really need it. The longer the shutdown goes on, the more reports there are about this and it’s stunning to taxpayers
Congress is barreling toward a critical deadline for extending the enhanced ObamaCare subsidies at the heart of the government shutdown, and it may already be too late to shield the public from sticker shock with open-enrollment window shopping underway.
If somehow there is a deal done ahead of Nov.1, which looks unlikely, states and the federal government may still have time to incorporate the enhanced subsidies into their prices. But Republicans have made it clear that there will need to be changes to the tax credits before they even entertain an extension.
The House Oversight and Reform Committee has released a 100-page report [pdf HERE] highlighting how people around Joe Biden hid information about his cognitive incapacity and worked around the issue using his autopen signature to authorize presidential actions.
The House committee has released the video and transcript of all the witnesses questioned during their investigation [SEE HERE] to support their contention and referral to the Dept of Justice for a criminal investigation of the events.
The problem with deals made with terrorist groups is that they are generally pathological liars and oftentimes aren’t interested in “peace” at all; they just want a chance to regroup.
Under the Trump-brokered deal, Hamas was supposed to return all the Israeli hostages, yet they have not fully complied. Now Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the group of violating the ceasefire by shooting at Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops in Gaza, and he’s vowing retribution:
"Following the security consultations, Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed the military echelon to carry out immediate and powerful strikes in the Gaza Strip," Netanyahu's office said Tuesday.
An Indian man who was in the United States illegally is in custody after a stabbing that took place aboard an airliner on Saturday.

Executive Power as President Declined,
House Report Finds 15 replies
Top Biden administration officials misused executive authority and took actions without then-President Joe Biden’s authorization as his mental acuity declined, a House investigation found.
President Biden’s inner circle hid the extent of his mental decline from the American people and exercised executive authority by abusing the presidential autopen and taking advantage of a lax chain-of-command, according to a report released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee.
