Bombshell: 200 Undercover FBI Assets at Capitol on Jan. 6, Congressman Says (VIDEO)

A member of Congress investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, protest at the U.S. Capitol estimates the FBI had 200 undercover assets both inside and outside the building.

“We believe that there were easily 200 FBI undercover assets operating in the crowd, outside the Capitol, embedded into groups that entered the Capitol or provoked entry of the Capitol,” Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., said.

“Given the scope of the operation and the number of doors where entry was allowed or even encouraged—and the number of people that were actually outside the Capitol and that entered—we believe 200 [is a] conservative number,” Higgins said of his estimate. . .

“It’s shocking what you’re saying and confirms everyone’s worst suspicions about this,” Carlson told Higgins. “It’s clearly true.”

Based on the evidence he’s reviewed, Higgins said FBI assets worked with the local Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department and U.S. Capitol Police. The assets were dressed as supporters of then-President Donald Trump inside the Capitol, “because those were the guys that knew their way around the Capitol.” (Read more from “Bombshell: 200 Undercover FBI Assets at Capitol on Jan. 6, Congressman Says (VIDEO)” HERE)

Tucker Carlson on Jan. 6: ‘What You’ve Heard is a Lie’ (VIDEO)

In a recent Twitter video, Fox News host Tucker Carlson delivered a bold assertion, challenging the prevailing narrative surrounding the events of January 6, 2021. In the video, Carlson declared, “What you’ve heard about Jan. 6 is a lie,” setting the stage for a contrarian perspective on the controversial incident at the U.S. Capitol.

The video, posted on Twitter, captures Carlson’s unequivocal stance as he questions the commonly accepted narrative pushed by democrats regarding the events of that fateful day.

Carlson asserted, “We don’t need to guess about what happened on January 6th. It was one of the most videotaped events in human history. A new documentary proves that most of what you’ve heard about that day is a lie.”

House Republicans Challenge Key Witness Jan. 6 Testimony, Threaten Subpoena Over Inconsistencies

In a latest development surrounding the investigations into the events of January 6, House Republicans on the Oversight Subcommittee for House Administration have raised concerns over the testimony provided by key witness Cassidy Hutchinson. Chairman Barry Loudermilk of Georgia spearheaded a letter sent to Hutchinson on Monday, demanding her to preserve and produce all records and materials related to her testimonies concerning the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

The Daily Caller obtained a copy of the letter, in which Loudermilk expressed reservations about inconsistencies in Hutchinson’s statements. Loudermilk highlighted that during a June 28, 2022, Select Committee hearing, Hutchinson claimed that former President Donald Trump attempted to grab the steering wheel from a Secret Service employee, an assertion not mentioned in her previous three transcribed interviews on February 23, 2022, March 7, 2022, and May 17, 2022.

Loudermilk’s letter instructs Hutchinson to preserve and produce all relevant documents, communications, and electronic information, including metadata, related to her testimonies. The demand encompasses materials previously submitted to the Select Committee and extends to electronic messages from official and personal accounts or devices, covering text messages, phone-based applications, and encryption software.

Loudermilk emphasized the need for Hutchinson to take reasonable steps to prevent any destruction, alteration, deletion, or mishandling of records that could impact the ongoing congressional inquiry. The deadline for providing unredacted documents to the subcommittee is set for January 26, 2024.

Prior to sending the letter, Loudermilk expressed deep concern over Hutchinson’s actions, stating that the significant changes in her testimony raise serious questions about her credibility. Loudermilk warned that if Hutchinson fails to provide the requested documents, he will not hesitate to issue a subpoena for further questioning.

Hutchinson gained attention after testifying before the Jan. 6 committee, claiming that Donald Trump attempted to reroute a vehicle to the Capitol, where protesters were gathering. However, sources close to the Secret Service have denied her claims.

Judge Orders Epstein Island Images to Be Redacted After Court Accidentally Releases Them

A federal judge issued an order Monday to redact newly released images of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, his partner Ghislaine Maxwell and young girls and women on his infamous Caribbean island.

U.S. District Court Judge Loretta Preska of the Southern District of New York ordered for a collection of photos from Epstein’s Little St. James Island to be redacted after they were disclosed in a court filing unsealed Monday.

“The Clerk of the Court is directed to strike docket entry 1332-7 in the above-captioned case because it contains inadvertently disclosed images that should have been redacted. Counsel shall re-file the stricken document as soon as is practicable,” Preska said in the order.

The images were from Epstein’s island in 2006 and provided by Epstein Accuser Sarah Ransome, the New York Post (NYP) reported along with the images.

“They were really naughty. You know, they took girls from very underprivileged families. They gave them accommodation, they gave them food, gave them money for transportation, you know, private planes, etc, etc.,” Ransome said in a deposition, according to the court filings reported by the NYP.

Almost A Quarter Of All Jobs ‘Added’ In 2023 Didn’t Actually Exist

The original number of jobs reported by the federal government in 2023 was revised down by a total of 749,000 jobs, meaning nearly one-fourth of jobs thought to be created in the year were not actually there, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) analyzed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The sum of the initial estimate from each of the government’s monthly job growth reports in 2023 totaled 3,140,000 new jobs, with later reports revising down the number of jobs added by a collective 443,000, according to the BLS. The BLS also announced in August a revision in total employment for March, subtracting another 306,000 jobs.

“By the time you include all the monthly revisions and the annual benchmark revision, about one-quarter of all the jobs we thought were added last year have been revised away,” E.J. Antoni, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the DCNF. “That pattern of consistent downward revisions has happened in two prior recessions. It is a result of market conditions changing too rapidly for the BLS to adjust their methodology, which in turn causes consistent errors in measuring nonfarm payrolls.”

The number of jobs was revised down for every month in 2023, except July, excluding December which will have any changes announced in the January and February 2024 monthly jobs reports, according to the BLS. There were 216,000 jobs added in December, with 52,000 of those being in government, bringing the total number of government employees to an all-time high of 23 million.

Joe Biden Will Drop Out of 2024 Presidential Race, Top JPMorgan Strategist Predicts

President Biden will not run for re-election during a tumultuous year that will see parts of the country suffer rolling blackouts, the release of an inhaled COVID vaccine and a boycott over driverless cars, a top JPMorgan Chase strategist predicted.

Michael Cembalest, who heads the market and investment strategy unit in the Wall Street bank’s asset management division, made the shocking forecasts in his list of ‘Ten Surprises’ for 2024 over the weekend.

Tops among the budding Nostradamus’ prophesies was that 81-year-old Biden will drop out of the race “sometime between Super Tuesday and the November election, citing health concerns.”

“Super Tuesday” refers to the March 5 presidential primaries and caucuses that will be held in more than a dozen states, including California, Texas, Massachusetts, Vermont and North Carolina.

The winner of the “Super Tuesday” contests is considered the heavy favorite to eventually capture the party’s nomination for president. (Read more from “Joe Biden Will Drop Out of 2024 Presidential Race, Top Jpmorgan Strategist Predicts” HERE)

Pope Calls for Global Ban on Surrogacy

Pope Francis on Monday condemned the practice of using a surrogate mother to birth a child and called for a global ban on the practice.

The pope called surrogacy “despicable” during an annual foreign policy address to ambassadors of 184 countries.

“I consider despicable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child,” Francis said.

The pope said surrogacy exploits the surrogate mother’s financial situation and said an unborn child must not be “turned into an object of trafficking.”

He called for a global ban “to prohibit this practice universally.” (Read more from “Pope Calls for Global Ban on Surrogacy” HERE)

GOP State Leadership Continues to be Challenged by Corruption: One State Chair Charged with Rape, Another Refuses to Step Down

By New York Post. Florida’s Republican Party has formally pushed out its embattled former chairman Christian Ziegler amid rape allegations. . .

In November, a report revealed that Ziegler was under criminal investigation by the Sarasota Police Department.

A woman, who claims to have known Ziegler and his wife for two decades, accused him of raping her a month prior inside her Sarasota home on Oct. 2, 2023. . .

The incident has garnered national attention in part because his wife Bridget Ziegler is a co-founder of Moms for Liberty, which works to elect conservative mothers onto school boards.

[S]he has admitted that she, her husband, and the alleged victim previously partook in a three-way sexual escapade about a year prior, Politico reported. (Read more from “GOP State Leadership Continues to be Challenged by Corruption: One State Chair Charged with Rape” HERE)

Group of Michigan GOP Committee Members Vote to Oust State Party Chair; She Says They Have No Authority to Remove Her

By Daily Wire. A group of Michigan Republican Party committee members gathered Saturday afternoon and voted to remove state party chair Kristina Karamo — but Karamo said she would not recognize their authority.

Forty of the 45 Republicans at the special meeting voted via secret ballot in favor of Karamo’s removal, according to multiple sources and a video announcement, The Detroit News reported. Karamo and her team said that the Republicans seeking her removal have not abided by the party’s bylaws, and she scheduled a special meeting on January 13, which she says is the actual special meeting.

“These individuals have not followed the MIGOP bylaws to call a meeting, change bylaws or remove any member,” Karamo told The Detroit News earlier this week. “They have zero legal authority to conduct business regarding the Michigan Republican Party or its state committee.”

Karamo rose to prominence within the Michigan GOP after challenging the results of former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. She then ran for Michigan secretary of state with Trump’s endorsement in the 2022 election cycle, a race she lost by 14 percentage points to incumbent Democrat Jocelyn Benson. Karamo was elected to state party chair in February, largely riding the support of conservative grassroots activists.

Facing the Fentanyl Crisis: Unveiling the Reality Through Statistics and a Mother’s Call to Action

In the grip of a relentless surge in fentanyl-related deaths, a public health crisis has unfolded, leaving families shattered and communities grappling with the devastating consequences. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid with unparalleled potency, has become a central player in the opioid epidemic, causing an alarming rise in fatalities worldwide.

While fentanyl was originally developed for pain management under the close supervision of a prescribing doctor, the chemical makeup has been mimicked and the drug has been pouring into our communities taking the lives of children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and friends.

Fentanyl’s Stealthy Onslaught: A Closer Look at the Statistics

According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), fentanyl has emerged as a synthetic opioid that surpasses morphine and heroin in potency. Its chemical makeup has been replicated, infiltrating communities and claiming lives with unprecedented speed. Fentanyl poses an imminent threat in seemingly-safe American communities, contributing to a surge in opioid-related deaths globally.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a concerning global increase in opioid-related deaths, with the United States, Canada, and Europe experiencing a significant impact from fentanyl. Preliminary data from the United States indicates that synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl, were involved in over two-thirds of all overdose deaths. Canada witnessed more than 6,000 opioid-related deaths in 2022, with fentanyl as the primary factor. European countries, as identified by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), have witnessed a notable rise in fentanyl-related deaths.

A Mother’s Journey Through Grief and Awareness

Amidst the harrowing statistics, Tracy Norris shares her personal journey through grief and awareness in her book, Shadows of Grief. Reflecting on the tragic loss of her son Marcus to a decade-long battle with addiction and eventual fentanyl overdose, Tracy’s experience offers a heartbreaking glimpse into the struggles that accompany loving and parenting a son suffering from addiction.

Tracy’s experience serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of fentanyl on families. As she navigates the complexities of grief, she sheds light on the importance of understanding the whole truth about addiction and the role fentanyl plays in exacerbating the crisis. Through her journey, Tracy emphasizes the need for awareness, compassion, and healing, challenging societal perspectives on addiction.

Below is an excerpt of Tracy’s book, due for release on March 10th:

This book is a personal reflection of my journey raising and loving a child who developed a chemical dependency and lost his battle with addiction. I walk through many of the red flags, near misses, adventures, heartache, and chaos that comes with loving an addict. The years of caring, praying, and fighting for the sanity and sobriety of my child were traumatizing, not only for myself, but for my husband, our other children, and our entire family. The pain of watching Marcus’s slow decline and death has not only shaken me to my very core, but it has also changed me as a person. Marcus’s preventable death has been debilitating for me. It has shifted all my perspectives and left me challenging every choice that I have made as a parent and who I am as a person. My journey to healing is very much still in progress, and I suspect that I will continue to move toward complete healing for the rest of my life. I believe that Marcus’s story—his battle with addiction and drug abuse, his fight for recovery, and ultimately the loss of his life—is only wasted if the journey stops with his passing.

Moving Forward: A Call to Action

As communities grapple with the fentanyl crisis, these statistics and personal stories underscore the urgency of collective action. Shadows of Grief serves as a testament to the profound consequences of fentanyl and the ongoing crisis. An effective approach to reducing the impact of the fentanyl crisis would include cooperation with law enforcement, comprehensive harm reduction strategies, and addressing the fentanyl crisis necessitates collaboration across borders and sectors. Only through awareness, education, and a united front can we hope to curb the rising tide of fentanyl-related deaths and provide support for those navigating the challenging path of recovery.

Shadows of Grief is available for pre-sale HERE.

Report: Biden Admin Warns Israel Against Taking Major Military Action Against Hezbollah

Israel is considering launching a major military operation against Hezbollah after months of harassment and threats from the terror group, alarming some U.S. officials.

Hezbollah has threatened Israel on its northern border from Lebanon for months since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, murdering roughly 1,200 people and taking hostage hundreds more. Warnings from Israel that it intends to put a stop to Hezbollah’s threats have alarmed the Biden administration, which fears a growing Middle East conflict, according to The Washington Post. . .

The Biden administration is reportedly warning Israel against taking significant action against Hezbollah, warning that a U.S. intelligence assessment found that if Israel were to expand its military operations to Lebanon as well as Gaza, success would be difficult for Israel to achieve.

Biden administration officials believe Israel’s signals against Hezbollah may be a result of political pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu may push military action against Hezbollah in order to recover politically from the fallout over a failure to prevent the invasion of October 7, according to Biden administration concerns shared with the Post.
