/0 Comments/in , /by

The father of the 14-year-old Apalachee High School attack suspect was arrested Thursday and charged with manslaughter and other charges.

CBS News reported that law enforcement sources indicated 54-year-old Colin Gray allegedly gave an AR-15 rifle to his son “as a gift … in December 2023.”

The specific charges against the father include “four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second degree murder and eight counts of
cruelty to children.”

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) noted that the charges “stem from Mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son … to possess a weapon.”

GBI called for communities across the state to encourage students “across this state to contact a member of their school faculty with any and all concerns of suspicious behavior that they may see.” (Read more from “Father of Georgia Shooting Suspect Arrested, Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter, 2nd Degree Murder” HERE)

Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty to Tax Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden pled guilty to federal tax charges in California on Thursday afternoon, according to multiple reports.

The president’s son pleaded guilty to each of the six misdemeanor and three felony counts he faced for allegedly failing to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes and filing falsified tax paperwork, according to CNN. Judge Mark Scarsi, the district judge for the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, accepted the plea, and sentencing is currently scheduled for Dec. 16.

Some legal pundits, including former Justice Department official John Yoo, have said that the president’s son is likely to face jail time.

Hunter Biden’s legal team attempted to offer a so-called “Alford plea” earlier Thursday, whereby he would effectively maintain his innocence while accepting whatever punishment may eventually be handed down, CNN reported. His attorneys said later in the day that he would be amenable to an “open plea,” in which Hunter Biden would essentially admit that his behavior does amount to satisfying the charges that he faces.

After Orchestrating Telegram Takedown in France, Feds Begin Direct Attack on First Amendment in U.S.: DOJ Indicts Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, Tim Pool’s ISP for “Russian Collusion”

/19 Comments/in , , /by

In a move that has raised significant concerns about First Amendment rights, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has unsealed a controversial indictment accusing a prominent Tennessee-based media company of involvement in a Russian influence operation. The indictment, revealed Wednesday, alleges that the company, widely identified as Tenet Media, was covertly funded and directed by Russian nationals to spread pro-Kremlin propaganda across U.S. social media platforms.

Tenet Media, which describes itself as a network for “fearless voices” focusing on Western political and cultural issues, features high-profile conservative commentators such as Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, Lauren Southern, Tayler Hansen, and Matt Christiansen. The DOJ’s indictment claims that two Russian nationals, Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasyeva, orchestrated a scheme to infiltrate U.S. media by funneling nearly $10 million through a network of foreign shell companies to finance Tenet Media.

The DOJ’s press release emphasizes that Kalashnikov and Afanasyeva, operating under multiple fake identities, used their financial and editorial influence to promote narratives that allegedly align with the goals of the Russian government and its state-funded media outlet, RT. According to the indictment, the Russian operatives were involved in editing and directing content posted by Tenet Media on platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). Since its inception in November 2023, the company has reportedly posted nearly 2,000 videos, garnering over 16 million views on YouTube alone.

The indictment accuses Tenet Media of disseminating content that exacerbates domestic divisions on sensitive issues like immigration and inflation, purportedly to further Russia’s agenda of sowing discord in the United States. Notably, the indictment claims that Tenet Media did not disclose its foreign funding or register with the Attorney General as an agent of a foreign principal, as required by law.

Critics argue that the DOJ’s actions against Tenet Media and its associated commentators represent a troubling precedent for governmental overreach into free speech and press freedom. Supporters of the indictment, however, contend that it is a necessary step to combat foreign interference and safeguard the integrity of American media and democracy.

Super Supplement Found to Boost Memory Within 24 Hours of Taking It in Breakthrough Study

. . .Researchers at Johns Hopkins University sought to confirm this association by giving respondents a caffeine tablet. Their results are published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

They conducted a double-blind trial in which participants who did not regularly eat or drink caffeinated products received either a placebo or a 200-milligram caffeine tablet five minutes after studying a series of images.

Salivary samples were taken from the participants before they took the tablets to measure their caffeine levels. Samples were taken again one, three, and 24 hours afterwards.

The next day, both groups were tested on their ability to recognise images from the previous day’s study session. On the test, some of the visuals were the same as those from the day before, some were new additions, and some were similar but not the same.

More members of the caffeine group were able to correctly identify the new images as “similar” to previously viewed images rather than erroneously citing them as the same. (Read more from “Super Supplement Found to Boost Memory Within 24 Hours of Taking It in Breakthrough Study” HERE)

Kamala Harris a Descendant of ‘Brutal’ Irish Slave Owner Who Was a ‘Seriously Bad Man’: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Kamala Harris’ Indian-Jamaican roots are again in the spotlight, but this time it is not her political rival Donald Trump sounding alarms. Radar Online exclusively reported that the Vice President is apparently the descendant of an Irish slave owner who was reportedly ‘brutal’ and a ‘seriously bad man.’ A British historian is said to have made the allegation.

From her maternal side, the US Democrat is half-Indian; her mother Shyamala Gopalan was born in Madras, India. She is also half-Jamaican from her father Donald Harris’ side. The reports of her Irish connection came after it was revealed that she was born in Brown’s Town on the Caribbean island—named after Hamilton Brown, the enslaver—who’s been cited as the great-great-great-great grandfather of Harris by the historian.

Donald, the VP’s father who is also a professor, wrote in an article published in the Jamaica Global Online, “My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown), a descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slaveowner and founder of Brown’s Town, a town in Jamaica.”

‘Fake a—’: Barack Obama’s Estranged Brother Launches Attack Against Former President, Drops Another Endorsement for Donald Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former president Barack Obama’s older half-brother, Malik Obama, has entered the 2024 presidential campaigning season.

The Kenyan native, who has dual citizenship in the family’s African homeland and in the United States, has taken to social media to throw his support behind Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump and take a potshot at his famous brother — despite the latter not running in the election.

Malik started by posting an old photo of himself and his brother on X platform on Sept. 3, captioned, “Fake A— when we were brothers.”

The tweet drew a flurry of support from Trump’s followers, urging Malik to “Speak your truth” and homophobic slurs at the 44th president.

The next day, Malik formalized his endorsement, echoing his 2016 stance, stating, “I am Malik Obama. I’m a registered Republican and I’m voting for President Donald Trump.”

Trump Discusses Inevitability of Death, Says He Wants Religious Revival in U.S. (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump spoke about his own mortality and the need for a religious revival in the U.S. during a recent interview with Russian-American podcaster Lex Fridman.

During the hour-long interview posted on Tuesday that touched on topics ranging from the 2024 presidential election to the Kennedy assassination and UFOs, the conversation honed in at the end on mortality and the role religion plays in coming to terms with it and the potential of an afterlife.

“One of the tragic things about life is that it ends,” Fridman said. “How often do you think about your death? Are you afraid of it?”

Trump, who narrowly escaped an assassin’s bullet on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, recounted that he has a “very successful” friend in his mid-80s who thinks about death constantly and often reminds him that time is slipping away.

“He said, ‘I think about it every minute of every day,'” Trump noted of what his friend said of death. “Then, a week later, he called me to tell me something, and he starts off the conversation by going, ‘Tick-tock, tick-tock.’ This is a dark person, in a sense, but it is what it is.” (Read more from “Trump Discusses Inevitability of Death, Says He Wants Religious Revival in U.S. (VIDEO)” HERE)

Alleged School Shooter Was on FBI’s Radar for Over a Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

Colt Gray, the teen suspected of gunning down four people at a Georgia high school Wednesday, has been on the FBI’s radar since last year — when he was investigated by local authorities in connection to online school shooting threats, the bureau revealed.

In May 2023, the FBI received several anonymous tips about threats to carry out violence at an unidentified school, with the harrowing posts including photos of guns, according to a Wednesday night statement from the bureau’s Atlanta field office.

The Jackson County Sheriffs’ Office identified Gray, then 13, as a possible suspect and interviewed him and his father.

Gray’s dad told investigators at the time that he had hunting guns in the house — but his son didn’t have unsupervised access to them, according to the statement . .

There was no probable cause to take any further action, however local schools were alerted “for continued monitoring” of Gray, per the statement.
