Pentagon Weighs Cutting Most of Its Support To CIA’s Counterterrorism Missions

In a surprising move, the Pentagon has told the Central Intelligence Agency that it is weighing an end to the majority of the military support it provides to the agency’s counterterrorism missions, according to a former senior administration intelligence official.

It is unclear how the decision would impact the spy agency’s worldwide counterterrorism missions that often rely on the U.S. military for logistical support and personnel.

Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller sent a letter to CIA Director Gina Haspel outlining the decision, according to the former official, who characterized the action as both surprising and unprecedented.

The CIA’s Special Activities Center carries out covert operations and has its own paramilitary force that carries out counterterrorism operations. While they act as an independent force, they often rely on the military for transportation and logistical support.

Schiff Refuses To Disclose Why He Withheld Details of Swalwell’s Relationship With a Chinese Spy From Intel Committee

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff did not respond to The Federalist’s questions about Intelligence Committee member and California Rep. Eric Swalwell’s position on the committee in light of recent news revealing Swalwell’s connections with a suspected Chinese spy.

When asked whether Swalwell’s position on the House Intelligence Committee would be tainted or compromised by his relationship with Christine Fang, a suspected spy for communist China, Swalwell’s office did not reply as of press time. According to a new report by Axios, Fang leveraged her position and connections in California’s Bay Area for years to gather intelligence on Democrat politicians and government officials.

Schiff’s office also did not respond when asked if he previously knew about Swalwell’s involvement with Fang or if he was briefed about Swalwell’s relationship with Fang.

Swalwell also refused to answer The Federalist’s questions about the extent of his relationship with Fang, ignoring allegations from sources directly familiar with the counterintelligence investigation of Fang who told The Federalist that she and Swalwell may have had a sexual relationship.

Biden Rebukes ‘Progressive Friends’ in Leaked Audio

Joe Biden is warning those on the Left that he won’t have the executive authority to accomplish everything they want.

In leaked audio from a Tuesday conversation with civil rights leaders, Biden was asked to take strong executive actions. . .

“I am not going to violate the Constitution,” Biden said. “Executive authority that my progressive friends talk about is way beyond the bounds.”

Biden assured those on the call that he would use his powers as president to “undo every single damn thing this guy has done by executive authority,” but he added, “I’m not going to exercise executive authority where it’s a question, where I can come along and say, ‘I can do away with assault weapons.’ There’s no executive authority to do away with that. And no one has fought harder to get rid of assault weapons than me, me, but you can’t do it by executive order. We do that, next guy comes along and says, ‘Well, guess what? By executive order, I guess everybody can have machine guns again.’ So, we gotta be careful.” (Read more from “Biden Rebukes ‘Progressive Friends’ in Leaked Audio” HERE)

Report: Feds Investigating Biden Family Business

Federal authorities are reportedly conducting a criminal investigation into a hospital business that has ties to President-elect Joe Biden’s younger brother.

According to a report by Politico, the FBI has asked questions about James Biden’s role in a healthcare business that was raided earlier this year by federal authorities, though details on the investigation remain unclear.

The FBI seized boxes of documents from Americore Health hospital in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, but there was no indication the raid was due to any actions related to James Biden, who hasn’t been accused of criminal wrongdoing. Americore’s owner has battled its own legal problems and allegations of mismanagement. . .

The Biden family’s business affairs became the subject of attack points by the Trump campaign during the heat of the 2020 election. In one instance, President Trump laid out an attack on James Biden, alluding to his involvement in a construction project in Iraq.

“His brother, who didn’t have experience, became a big builder in Iraq, without experience,” Trump alleged during an interview with CBS 60 Minutes host Leslie Stahl. (Read more from “Report: Feds Investigating Biden Family Business” HERE)

REVEALED: The Biggest Election Fraud of All in 2020

With time rapidly running out for the Trump legal team to challenge the rampant election fraud that has characterized the most corrupt presidential contest of our lifetimes, it’s easy to lose sight of the other massive fraud that preceded, encouraged, enabled and excused the freakshow election Americans are being forced to endure.

And that’s the massive fraud that has been perpetrated by the American “news media,” which in reality is almost entirely a Pravda-type propaganda ministry for the Biden-Harris campaign.

That’s right. Pravda is a perfect descriptor for the American “news media.” Remember the famous joke in the dark days of the former Soviet Union? “There is no truth in Pravda and no news in Izvestia” – Pravda meaning “truth” and Izvestia meaning “news.”

The sole purpose of those two giant propaganda mills disguised as journalism organizations was to guard, protect, lie for and defend at all costs the corrupt, elite ruling class in charge of the 20th century’s most destructive totalitarian regime.

Ironically, here in America – the nation that, under Ronald Reagan, defeated the Soviet Union – in 2020 virtually the entire “mainstream media” serves precisely the same purpose as Pravda and Izvestia once did: To protect, defend, and lie day in and day out to preserve this nation’s corrupt, elite ruling class. That includes the newly radicalized Democratic Party, the permanent government bureaucracy called the “deep state,” and even today’s often-violent neo-Marxist political and cultural juggernaut obsessed with tearing down and transforming what they all condemn as an unjust, immoral and racist country.

Democrat Governor Tightens Coronavirus Restrictions: You Don’t Have To Sit in Church for God To Hear Your Prayers

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced new coronavirus restrictions Thursday and urged people of faith to stay out of their churches during the Christmas season.

“This year, we need to think about what is truly the most important thing. Is it the worship or the building?” Northam said at a press conference. “For me, God is wherever you are. You don’t have to sit in the church pew for God to hear your prayers.”

He urged faith leaders to “lead the way” and “set an example” for their communities.

“Worship with a mask on is still worship, worship outside or worship online is still worship,” Northam said.

Northam conceded that he could not legally limit in-person worship ceremonies, noting that the recent Supreme Court decision against the state of New York prevented him from doing that.

Supreme Court Flooded with Filings in Texas Challenge to Voting Procedures

The Supreme Court has been flooded with filings since Texas launched its case against Pennsylvania and three other states on Monday night, increasing the likelihood that the Court will finally hear a challenge to the 2020 presidential election results. . .

The sheer scale of filings in just three days — including from Democrats and groups on the left — for a case that the Supreme Court has not yet said it will hear may increase the chance that it will do so.

The Pennsylvania filing calls the Texas lawsuit a “seditious abuse of the judicial process,” prompting a shocked response from constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley: “Filing with the Supreme Court is the very antithesis of sedition.”

YouTube Removes ALL Claims of Presidential Election Fraud, Continues to Let Bogus Conspiracies Flourish

By Fox Business. YouTube will remove videos and content that allege widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election starting Wednesday.

Wednesday was the country’s “safe harbor deadline,” or the deadline by which state-level election audits and recounts are supposed to be completed. . .

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., criticized YouTube’s announcement in a Wednesday tweet.

“[Google] owned [YouTubbe] officially announcing free speech no longer allowed,” Hawley tweeted. “If you have concerns about election integrity, you must sit down and shut up. Repeal Section 230 and break these companies up.”

Videos claiming President Trump or any other candidate besides President-elect Joe Biden won the 2020 election “due to widespread software glitches or counting errors,” for example, will be removed starting Wednesday.

YouTube Allows Conspiracies To Flourish While Censoring Claims of Election Fraud

By The Federalist. YouTube announced Wednesday that the Google-owned video platform would be removing content critical of the 2020 election results and instead would only promote coverage from corporate media.

“Yesterday was the safe harbor deadline for the U.S. Presidential election and enough states have certified their election results to determine a President-elect,” YouTube released in a statement. “Given that, we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome.”

It’s clear, however, that YouTube’s censorship is a one-way street. The new rules delegitimize claims of fraud in a pandemic contest that featured record-turnout in mail-in voting as nothing more than a bogus conspiracy theory. . .

While YouTube preemptively tears down content it disagrees with, a number of other conspiracy theories abound on the platform uncensored, ranging from Democratic claims that Russia successfully hacked the 2016 election to decrying the 20th century moon landings as a hoax.

Democrats Decided To Test How Effective Lincoln Project Viral Twitter Ads Were, and It Did Not Go Well

A left-wing political action group that tested the efficacy of the viral Twitter ads from the Lincoln Project were surprised to find that they weren’t effective at all.

The Lincoln Project, a super PAC composed of former Republican operatives who are anti-Trump, garnered millions of dollars of support from those on the left while earning scorn and derision from supporters of the president.
But when one of the top Democratic political PACs decided to test their viral Twitter ads, they discovered that the money had not been spent well. . .

Priorities USA wanted to see if something going viral on Twitter could be a substitute for ad testing that would show whether an ad is persuasive or not. Instead they found the opposite:

According to Nick Ahamed, Priorities’ analytics director, the correlation of Twitter metrics—likes and retweets—and persuasion was -0.3, “meaning that the better the ad did on Twitter, the less it persuaded battleground state voters.” The most viral of the Lincoln Project’s ads—a spot called Bounty, which was RTed 116,000 times and liked more than 210,000 times—turned out to be the least persuasive of those Priorities tested.
