Navy SEAL Gallagher’s Case Demonstrates Corruption, Deep State Control of Command

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Sean Gallagher. In this partisan environment, people were quick to judge President Donald J. Trump’s reinstatement of anchors to my brother. . . Eddie’s case and court-martial trial revealed a massive cancer within the military justice system, doing irreparable damage to troop morale that may last decades. . .

Where was their outrage when the Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents dragged my brother’s kids in the street at gunpoint in their underwear? (A fact NCIS denied to this very publication until under oath admitted that, yes, they did drag my nephews nearly naked into the streets of San Diego when Ed wasn’t home).

Where were these critics when investigators admitted Eddie’s entire pretrial imprisonment was based on a lie, forcing him to spend eight months in a sex offender brig for nothing?

Thanksgiving is nearing, so please imagine having to spend it like Ed did last year, greeting your kids in jail where they had to wear robes so they didn’t arouse other inmates.

Where were these guardians of moral decency when prosecutors spied on our attorneys? When they hid exculpatory evidence? Illegally leaked slanted information to the media to taint a jury pool? Lied to members of Congress and then tried to cover it all up when they got caught? (Read more about Deep State control of the Navy and the injustice that caused HERE)

President Trump: I Stood Up to Deep State Control of Armed Forces With Pardons

By Brett Samuels. President Trump on Tuesday told supporters he pushed back against “the deep state” by pardoning and granting clemency to military members convicted of war crimes.

“I stuck up for three great warriors against the deep state,” Trump said at a rally in Sunrise, Fla. “And you know what I’m talking about” . . .

“I had so many people say, ‘Sir, I don’t think you should do that,'” Trump said Tuesday. “People have to be able to fight. These are great warriors. They can’t think … if they made a mistake they were putting them in jail for 25 years.”

“I will always stick up for our great fighters,” he continued. “People can sit there in air-conditioned offices and complain, but you know what, doesn’t matter to me whatsoever.” (Read more about President Trump standing up against Deep State control HERE)

Ilhan Omar Denies Being ‘Qatari Asset’; How a Fake Imam, the Krassenstein Brothers and a Canadian Played Roles in a Dubious Story About Ilhan Omar and Qatar

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Jerusalem Post. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota-5th) was recruited by a foreign government, received funding from a foreign government, and passed sensitive information through intermediaries to Iran, a Florida court has been told, as The Jerusalem Post confirmed.

Speaking to the Post, the office of the Congresswoman denied the allegations.

The claims came during testimony by Kuwati-born Canadian businessman Alan Bender, who was giving evidence in the trial of Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al-Thani. The Qatari emir’s brother stands accused of ordering his American bodyguard to murder two people, and of holding an American citizen hostage. His deposition, obtained by Al Arabiya English, was authenticated by the attorney for the plaintiffs, according to the publication.

Speaking from Toronto by video link, Bender told the Florida District Court that he met with Qatar’s Secretary to the Emir for Security Affairs Mohammad bin Ahmed bin Abdullah al-Masnad and two other senior Qatari officials.

According to his sworn deposition, the three officials told him: “If it wasn’t for our cash, Ilhan Omar would be just another black Somali refugee in America collecting welfare and serving tables on weekends.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar Denies Being ‘Qatari Asset,’ Despite Witness Report” HERE)

How a Fake Imam, the Krassenstein Brothers and a Canadian Played Roles in a Dubious Story About Ilhan Omar and Qatar

By Daily Caller. Foreign elements are pushing a dubious story, targeted at American conservatives, that Ilhan Omar is a secret agent of the nation of Qatar. . .

Mohamad Tawhidi, an Australian Muslim with a large social media following under the handle “Imam of Peace,” has been pushing the idea that Omar is connected to Qatar for months.

Tawhidi also spuriously accused a journalist at the DCNF of being on the payroll of Qatar for not quickly and uncritically printing storylines pushed by him, despite the DCNF repeatedly covering misdeeds by Qatar. He falsely claimed that any hesitation was because of an editor “who I can confirm works for Qatar…. It took me 48 hours to find out.” . . .

As the evidence-free story of Omar as a secret foreign agent spread on social media, the cast of characters got even odder as the Krassenstein brothers got involved.

The left-wing brothers previously allegedly ran Ponzi schemes and online financial scams, and in 2017 law enforcement seized nearly half a million dollars from them, contending it was derived from wire fraud, the Daily Beast reported.

Report: Strip Club Employees Recall ‘Suspecting’ Hunter Biden Smoked Crack

/0 Comments/in , /by

Employees at a DC strip club suspect Hunter Biden used the VIP room to smoke crack, they told the New York Post.

Biden was a regular at Archibald’s, a gentleman’s club located just a few blocks from the White House, and spent thousands of dollars in the VIP room there — and on at least one occasion, he was suspected of using that VIP room to smoke crack, according to a report from Page Six.

James Ritter, a former managing partner at Archibald’s, recounted the incident that he said took place in late 2018. “There was a smell of burning styrofoam in the VIP room. We told him nothing illegal can go on here. We didn’t see anything illegal. After he was spoken to, the smell stopped,” Ritter explained to Page Six. “VIP employees suspected it was crack.”

Ritter also claimed that Biden paid his considerable tab with credit cards that did not have his name on them, something that was technically against Archibald’s usual policy which required customers’ credit cards to match photo identification. “Hunter was a bit of an exception,” Ritter added.

Report: Obama Warned He Would Intervene to Stop Bernie, Had Cutting Words for Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Barack Obama once warned he would intervene to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., from winning the Democratic presidential nomination, according to a new report that sheds light on Obama’s personal views of the jam-packed primary field with no clear front-runner.

Obama has largely stayed on the sidelines to date, refraining from any endorsements though he has issued general warnings to the party to avoid calls for radical upheaval in their policy pitches. These warnings were seen as a swipe at candidates like Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sanders.

But a new Politico Magazine report gives a clearer picture of what Obama is worried about — claiming he has said in private he’d speak out against Sanders if it looked like he could actually win.

“Back when Sanders seemed like more of a threat than he does now, Obama said privately that if Bernie were running away with the nomination, Obama would speak up to stop him,” the report says. An Obama spokesperson, however, reportedly noted that the former president has stated that he would get behind the Democratic nominee regardless of who it is. . .

“I can’t really confirm that,” the adviser said, regarding the possibility of Obama trying to stop Sanders. “He hasn’t said that directly to me. The only reason I’m hesitating at all is because, yeah, if Bernie were running away with it, I think maybe we would all have to say something. But I don’t think that’s likely. It’s not happening.” (Read more from “Report: Obama Warned He Would Intervene to Stop Bernie, Had Cutting Words for Biden” HERE)

Ford Backs Away from Tesla Tug-Of-War, but Musk Is Doing It Anyway

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ford executive Sunny Madra tweeted a challenge to Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday for a rematch of a tug-of-war Tesla conducted between its electric Cybertruck and an F-150 that has been criticized by many, including Neil deGrasse Tyson, for being unfairly matched, to which Elon Musk replied: “Bring it on”.

However, when asked if Tesla had reached out to Ford to set up a competition, a Ford spokeswoman said “Sunny’s tweet was tongue in cheek to point out the absurdity of Tesla’s video, nothing more.”

“With America’s best-selling truck for 42 years, we’ve always focused on serving our truck customers regardless of what others say or do. We look forward to our all-new F-150 hybrid coming next year and all-electric F-150 in a few years,” she added.

Nevertheless, Musk agreed to do right by deGrasse Tyson’s suggestion that the heavier weight of the battery-powered Cybertruck gave it a traction advantage and that Musk should level the playing field and repeat the test.

Trump to Designate Mexican Cartels as Terrorist Organizations

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump told Bill O’Reilly he will designate some Mexican cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO). His comments came during an interview released on Tuesday.

“The Mexican drug cartels kill more than 100,000 Americans every year by the importation of dangerous narcotics,” O’Reilly said to President Trump during an interview aired on O’Reilly.com. “Are you going to designate those cartels in Mexico as terror groups?”

“They will be designated … I have offered him (the Mexican president) to let us go in and clean it out,” President Trump responded. “He, so far, has rejected the offer. But at some point, something has to be done.” . . .

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) told reporters on Monday that he would not accept a move to designate cartels as FTOs, Breitbart Texas reported. “We will never accept that, we are not ‘vendepatrias’ (nation sellers),” the Mexican president stated.

“On Monday morning, Lopez Obrador’s foreign relations minister Marcelo Ebrard called designations unnecessary and inconvenient, adding that the U.S. and Mexico have a healthy working relationship in fighting cartels,” Breitbart Texas journalist Ildefonso Ortiz and Breitbart Border/Cartel Chronicles project Director Brandon Darby wrote. “According to Ebrard, terrorist designations would give the U.S. the legal avenue to take direct action on cartels on Mexican soil.” (Read more from “Trump to Designate Mexican Cartels as Terrorist Organizations” HERE)

Veteran Saves Child from Dog Attack by Hitting It with Christmas Decoration (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Korean War veteran is being hailed a hero after he saved a ten-year-old girl from a dog attack in Perry Township, Ohio, Sunday.

When Leonard Miller, 88, heard someone pounding on his front door that afternoon, he immediately knew something was wrong, News 5 Cleveland reported.

His 13-year-old neighbor told him the family’s pit bull had gotten hold of her younger sibling and would not let go. With no time to lose, Miller grabbed a plastic nutcracker Christmas decoration from the neighbor’s yard and ran toward the girl’s house. . .

Once inside the house, the Korean War Army combat medic realized the parents were not at home and found the girl lying on the floor, with the dog still viciously attacking her. . .

However, Miller was not about to let the animal hurt the girl any further. He continued to hit the dog with the decoration until it finally let go of her. The veteran then forcefully shouted a command at the animal to keep it from turning on him next.

Armed Robber Paroled After Just 2 Years Admits to Raping, Killing College Student

/0 Comments/in , /by

In December 2018, Donald Thurman was released from prison in Chicago after serving just two years of his six-year sentence for robbery and vehicle theft. It must have been roundly celebrated by local Cook County officials as another “criminal justice reform” success story, where success is defined by reduction of the prison population, not a reduction in crime. Fast-forward 11 months later, and a 19-year-old college student is now dead after Thurman confessed to raping and strangling her. And the endless list grows of victims of jailbreak policy.

After being reported missing by her family, Ruth George, 19, was found strangled in the back of her car on Saturday in a parking garage at the University of Illinois Chicago, where she was a student. On Monday, campus police announced that Donald Thurman, 26, who had no affiliation with the victim or the university, had been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual assault. Police say that he was seen on surveillance footage entering the garage at the time of the murder and later confessed to the crime.

In recent years, with the frantic one-sided push for prison reduction, Chicago has paroled a great many violent offenders and has shown a reluctance to re-incarcerate those who violate the terms of their release. Furthermore, there are too few officers to monitor that many volatile convicts out on the streets. This has collectively reduced the deterrent against career criminals because they know the politicians and judges would rather see the prison population reduced than prevent crime.

In addition to monitoring those out on parole, Chicago police are increasingly stretched thin monitoring violent criminals out on little or no bail. As part of a growing fad across the country, Ed Rush, 24, was released by Cook County Judge David Navarro on just $5,000 bond after being arrested in September for aggravated battery on a police officer. Despite a previous gun conviction and a domestic assault charge, Rush remained out even after missing one hearing in October, according to the Chicago Tribune. Chicago really is not tough on guns at all, at least not if they are possessed by violent criminals. Fast-forward to last Friday, and he was arrested after police caught him on video allegedly shooting Rayveon Hutchins, 20, to death.

According to data from the Illinois Department of Corrections, the prison population has declined by almost 20 percent since 2013. Even the worst offenders barely serve time any more. Yet, shockingly, there is still a bipartisan clamor to reduce sentencing even further rather than go back to the drawing board with real reforms to address cases like Donald Thurman.

We now see plain as day that this “reform” movement has nothing to do with “first-time, low-level, nonviolent” offenders. It applies to those convicted of assault, robbery, and gun crimes. Now, they are looking to let out even mass murderers. Earlier this year, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed a new law granting criminals convicted under the age of 21 the opportunity for endless parole hearings, even for violent crimes and repeat offenses.

Discretionary parole decisions for all criminals are becoming more and more lenient. This past week, the Illinois Prisoner Review Board agreed to release Chester Weger, the infamous 1960 “Starved Rock” murderer who was sentenced to life for brutally bludgeoning three victims in an Illinois state park. Weger is now 80 years old, but had he gotten the death penalty there would be no room for bleeding-heart liberals to let their hearts bleed just for the murderer and not for the families of the victims who are horrified by his release.

The parole epidemic is not just limited to left-wing Chicago; it’s nationwide. Just last week, in Augusta, Georgia, police investigator Cecil Ridley was killed while on patrol allegedly by Alvin Hester Jr., who was out early on parole.

These are the jailbreak stories you will never hear cited during the hushed and rushed criminal justice debates in Congress and in state legislatures.

This fad to abolish prison has clearly gone too far. The question is how many more cases like Ruth George must there be before the politicians have a change of heart, assuming they have one at all.

Abortion Provider in a Major SCOTUS Case Is Trying to Cover up Evidence of Criminal Activity

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Louisiana abortion provider embroiled in a major Supreme Court case is trying to hide evidence of criminal activity from prosecutors, according to the state’s Department of Justice.

A news release from Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry’s office from last week says state officials are asking a federal judge to unseal information that contains “evidence of criminal and professional misconduct” by June Medical Services, which does business as Hope Medical Group.

“The information that was uncovered would normally lead the LADOJ to make a criminal referral,” the release claims. “However, the presiding federal judge has sealed a large number of important documents and information regarding the case. The LADOJ is asking the appeals court to vacate that order.”

“I am deeply concerned about the basic health and safety of Louisiana women,” Louisiana Solicitor General Liz Murrill said in a statement. “And Hope’s continued efforts to hide this information from the Supreme Court and to block reporting to proper authorities casts serious doubt on Hope and its abortion providers’ claims that it represents the interests of Louisiana women.”

When reached for comment, Hope Medical Group administrator Kathaleen Pittman told Blaze Media via email that she has “absolutely no idea” what the statement is referring to.

Kelly Krause, a spokesperson for the Center for Reproductive Rights, which represents Hope and filed a 63-page legal brief in the case on Monday, told the Washington Times that the claims are “simply untrue” and that “for years, the state of Louisiana has been relying on baseless attacks on abortion providers to defend its unconstitutional abortion restrictions and this is only the latest example.”

Blaze Media reached out to the Louisiana Department of Justice for an update on the status of the legal petition. A statement from the attorney general’s office says that the federal court asked the plaintiffs for a response on Monday. Murrill said her team is “hopeful the district court’s gag order will be lifted so that information which could affect women’s health and safety will no longer be hidden from law enforcement, the courts, and the public.”

The Supreme Court case involving June/Hope is over a state law that requires that abortion providers must have admitting privileges to a hospital within 30 miles. While proponents of the law say that it’s a means of protecting women’s health, opponents say that the safety concerns are merely a guise for restricting abortion access in a state that only has three remaining abortion clinics. It would also be Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s first major abortion case on the high court since being confirmed to the bench in October 2018.

Impeachment Witness Deposition Reveals Why They Were Told to Hold Ukraine Aid

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Newly released transcripts from the deposition of Mark Sandy, an official at the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), reveal that OMB was allegedly instructed to withhold aid to Ukraine because President Donald Trump was concerned “about other countries not contributing more to Ukraine.”

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) responded to the release of the transcripts from the deposition, which happened on Chairman Adam Schiff’s House Intelligence Committee, by writing on Twitter, “The transcript for OMB’s Mark Sandy was just released. The ONLY reason he was ever given why there was a hold on $ to Ukraine was “the President’s concern about other countries not contributing more to Ukraine.” NOT bribery. NOT quid pro quo or any other WACKY Schiff conspiracy!”

Sandy made the revelation when he was asked what reason Michael Duffey, a politically appointed official at the OMB, was given by the White House on why the aid to Ukraine was to be delayed.

Sandy went on to state that the requests that he received in early September about how much other nations were contributing to Ukraine came from Duffey.

The questions came as part of Democrats’ partisan impeachment inquiry hearings over Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in which Democrats allege that the president engage in a quid pro quo.
