Public Trust in FBI Has Reached ‘The Red Zone,’ U.S. Inching Closer to ‘Mayhem, Chaos, Anarchy:’ WSJ Columnist

The United States is battling a “crisis of confidence” with U.S. governing institutions on the line and FBI Director Christopher Wray’s recent testimony before Congress may have been the last straw for the bureau, Wall Street Journal columnist Dan Henninger warned.

In a Wall Street Journal column titled “The FBI Loses the Public,” Henninger examined the public’s diminishing trust in institutions like the FBI as studies show voter confidence in the bureau and the DOJ has hit rock bottom. An NBC poll cited in the column found the public’s positive view of the bureau has tanked by 15% in the last five years. The poll came days before Wray’s contentious hearing before Congress and amid calls for his resignation from GOP lawmakers over his leadership of the bureau.

“Conservatives no longer trust the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Liberals—or more precisely progressives—no longer trust the local police. We have a problem,” Henninger wrote.

“Confidence in U.S. institutions such as the FBI, Supreme Court and Congress has been on a steady decline since 2017 and is now reaching record lows. More broadly, less than a third of voters trust the federal government – a 20-year low…what’s going on now is different. The U.S. is already amid a crisis of confidence in what we call our governing institutions. That word, governing, is taken for granted, but it took a long time for governing to become a fact of daily life. Consider the opposite of governing elsewhere—mayhem, chaos, anarchy,” he continued.

With accusations of a politicized Department of Justice intensified by – among other things – the FBI raid on former President Trump’s home, Americans are turning away from the institutions that “provide the bedrock of domestic tranquility.” Henninger argued.

Pentagon Confirms Myocarditis Cases in Troops Spiked After COVID Vax Rollout

Myocarditis diagnoses skyrocketed among U.S. troops after the COVID-19 vaccine was rolled out, according to a top Defense Department official.

Gilbert Cisneros Jr., undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, confirmed the annual average of myocarditis cases soared 151% in 2021 in the wake of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, Epoch Times reported.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“When reported, the cases have especially been in adolescents and young adult males within several days after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna),” the CDC’s website states.

Earlier this year, whistleblowers who spoke with the Daily Caller said the Department of Defense ignored numerous reports of adverse health effects related to the COVID-19 vaccines. (Read more from “Pentagon Confirms Myocarditis Cases in Troops Spiked After COVID Vax Rollout” HERE)

RFK Jr. Calls for Investigation Into Biden Over Bribery Allegations

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called for an investigation into President Joe Biden during an interview over the weekend inlight of an FBI form that was released this week that outlined allegations of corruption against Biden.

The FBI-generated FD-1023 form, released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), alleges that Burisma co-founder and CEO Mykola Zlochevsky told a highly credible FBI confidential human source that he was “coerced” into paying Biden and his son Hunter each $5 million to get a Ukrainian investigation into his company shut down.

“I have avoided criticizing the President because I, you know, I’m trying to bring people together and and some of the vitriol, the poison that’s made politics so poisonous,” Kennedy told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I think though the issues that are now coming up are worrying enough that we really need a real investigation of what happened,” he said. “I mean, these revelations about the, you know, where you have Burisma — which is a notoriously corrupt company that paid out apparently $10 million to Hunter and his dad — if that’s true, then it is really troubling.”

Kennedy said that in addition to the need for the allegation to be thoroughly investigated, Americans need to be worried about the politicization from federal law enforcement agencies. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Calls for Investigation Into Biden Over Bribery Allegations” HERE)

Trump World Revels Over Ramaswamy Poll Uptick to Jab DeSantis

Some allies of Donald Trump appear giddy over GOP foe Vivek Ramaswamy’s recent uptick in the polls — because it means the entrepreneur is gaining on the former president’s hated key rival Ron DeSantis.

Ramaswamy, who is now clocking in at 5.9 percentage points in the key RealClearPolitics aggregate, toppled former Vice President Mike Pence at 5.7 points to take over a distant third place among Republican hopefuls behind Florida Gov. DeSantis at 19.3 and Trump at a commanding 51 points.

And unlike many of Trump’s rivals who often face the wrath of his supporters, the 37-year-old Ramaswamy’s rise appears to be getting a somewhat warm reception — at least for now.

A multitude of Trump allies have latched onto Ramaswamy as a cudgel against DeSantis, with whom they have chaffed bitterly.

“Vivek is surging to 2nd place DeSantis is imploding into single digits President Trump remains the dominant frontrunner, and the only candidate the Deep State continues to attack,” MAGA Inc. spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt tweeted.

Illegal Alien Convicted of Beheading His Girlfriend Found Not Guilty Due to Mental Illness

An illegal immigrant who was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder for beheading his girlfriend in Minnesota has been found not guilty due to his mental illness.

Alexis Saborit, 42, was found guilty of first-degree premeditated murder in May. However, Judge Caroline Lennon ruled on Monday that Saborit was not guilty due to his mental illness.

The judge cited psychologists who determined that Saborit’s “mental illness prevented him from understanding his actions were morally wrong.”

CBS News reported, “Two doctors analyzed Saborit’s case and determined he ‘was suffering from mental illness to the extent that it prevented him from understanding the moral wrongfulness of his actions during the alleged offense.'”

The judge said Saborit’s medical history included traumatic brain injury from a 2017 car crash, “symptoms of mania in conjunction with psychosis,” “significant history” of non-compliance with prescribed treatments, and hospitalizations in 2013 for “bizarre delusions.” (Read more from “Illegal Alien Convicted of Beheading His Girlfriend Found Not Guilty Due to Mental Illness” HERE)

Intelligence Agency Funding Research to Merge AI With Human Brain Cells

An Australia intelligence agency is funding research attempting to merge artificial intelligence with human brain cells.

According to The Guardian, “Research into merging human brain cells with artificial intelligence has received a $600,000 grant from defense and the Office of National Intelligence (ONI).”

The funding from the Australia National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grants Program will go to research being conducted by the Monash University and Cortical Labs.

Adeel Razi, the project’s lead and associate professor from the Monash University’s Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, explained, “This new technology capability in future may eventually surpass the performance of existing, purely silicon-based hardware.” (Read more from “Intelligence Agency Funding Research to Merge AI With Human Brain Cells” HERE)

China Uses TikTok to Manipulate and Weaken Young American Minds With Trans Ideology

Author and social media influencer Oli London says China has turned TikTok into the primary social media platform for radical gender ideology in a bid to weaken American minds.

London, who underwent 32 surgeries to transition from a white male to a Korean female before transitioning, tells Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that TikTok manipulates the discussion surrounding gender ideology by enforcing harsh community guidelines, rules, and outright bans for anyone critical of the transgender movement. Meanwhile, videos that show promote radical gender ideology or try to normalize the scars of gender reassignment for children receive millions and sometimes billions of views.

But while TikTok is the showcase for trans ideology on social media, the mainstream media has become the gateway drug that convinces people struggling with their gender identity to embrace the trans lifestyle.

But, while the media serves as a gateway drug that preys on the darkness many feel and leads them to the transgender lifestyle, London says Christianity can be the anecdote and the light that fills the emptiness in people’s souls that gender ideology and media praise can never fill.

White House Adviser Calls on China to Hold Nuclear Arms Talks

China‘s buildup of nuclear missiles and other strategic weapons requires that Beijing begin nuclear talks with the United States, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Friday.

Mr. Sullivan, speaking at a security conference, also said the Wagner Group mercenary force is no longer fighting in Ukraine after an aborted mutiny against the Russian military was crushed last month.

Mr. Sullivan said President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed on a recent phone call to hold strategic stability talks on nuclear weapons, something he said is vital based on China‘s rapidly expanding nuclear arsenal.

The Strategic Command has described Beijing’s program as a nuclear “breakout,” with up to 320 new land-based long-range nuclear missiles being built in three fields in western China. China‘s military also tested a unique hypersonic missile in 2021 that orbited in space before reentering the atmosphere to strike a ground target.

“If you look right now at what China is doing with respect to the buildup of its nuclear capabilities, as well as a series of quite exotic forms of weaponry that have themselves nuclear capabilities, the need for basic risk reduction, for an understanding of one another’s doctrines, intentions, modes of operation is acute,” Mr. Sullivan told the annual Aspen Security Forum in the Colorado ski resort town.

Country Bans Transgender Contestants, Must Be a Woman From Birth: ‘Will Not Jump on the Glittery Bandwagon of Trans Activism’

The Miss Italy pageant has banned transgender contestants from taking part in the beauty contest.

“Lately, beauty contests have been trying to make the news by also using strategies that I think are a bit absurd,” Miss Italy Official Patron Patrizia Mirigliani said, according to TND. “Miss Italia, on the other hand, will not jump on the glittery bandwagon of trans activism.”

“Since it was born, my competition has foreseen in its regulation the clarification according to which one must be a woman from birth. Probably because, even then, it was foreseen that beauty could undergo modifications, or that women could undergo modifications, or that men could become women,” Mirigliani said during an interview with Radio Cusano earlier this month.

The Miss Italy pageant banning transgender contestants arrives just weeks after a transgender beauty queen contestant was crowned Miss Netherlands 2023. Rikkie Valerie Kolle – a 22-year-old biological male – defeated a field of nine biological women to be named Miss Universe Netherlands.

Kolle will represent the Netherlands at the 72nd Miss Universe competition in El Salvador. (Read more from “Miss Italy Bans Transgender Contestants, Must Be a Woman From Birth: ‘Will Not Jump on the Glittery Bandwagon of Trans Activism'” HERE)

‘Feels Like Genesis 19’: Anti-Vaxxers Praise God for Tornado That Wrecked Pfizer Manufacturing Plant

Anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists are claiming God sent a tornado to North Carolina on Wednesday to severely damage a Pfizer manufacturing plant.

Located in the city of Rocky Mount, the 250-acre site, which produces a significant portion of the country’s sterile injectables, was crushed by winds reaching upwards of 150mph when a twister passed through the area.

The plant, which also manufactures vials, IV bags, and bottles of anesthesia, saw more than 50,000 pallets of goods strewn across the site. No one at the plant received any serious injuries as a result. . .

A writer for the conservative outlet the Blaze, for example, used the incident to state that God clearly had a “sense of humor.” Another user argued that the tornado had actually saved lives by damaging the plant.
