Armed Hero Stops Masked ‘Church Shooter’ with a Hail of Perfectly-Aimed Bullets

/6 Comments/in , , /by

There’s a very specific kind of mass shooting story the media doesn’t like to cover… it’s the kind that doesn’t happen because a good guy with a gun stopped it cold.

Roughly a month ago, a man stormed into a Michigan church during Sunday worship and opened fire. It could have ended in total carnage. But it didn’t. Because a legally armed, everyday churchgoer took him down. No military training. No law enforcement background. Just courage, quick action, and a gun.

This should have been front-page news. It wasn’t. And we all know why… because it doesn’t fit the left’s anti-gun agenda. They’d rather Americans believe that firearms are the problem, not the psychopaths who use them. But the truth is, more often than not, guns save lives. That’s not just a marketing slogan. It’s a fact.

The gun control lobby loves to promise safety, but all it’s really delivered is more victims. Disarmed citizens, soft targets, and a culture of helplessness. The left has built a society where law-abiding people are told to sit still, pray for mercy, and wait for the cops—while criminals do whatever they want with whatever weapon they can get their hands on.

Guns, knives, machetes, acid, bombs—you name it—evil will always find a tool. But the difference between life and death is what good people have at their disposal. Thankfully, we live in a country where the right to bear arms still exists—and millions of Americans take that responsibility seriously.

New Docs Contradict Top Obama Officials’ Claims Steele Dossier Wasn’t Included In Critical Russiagate Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Newly declassified records show the phony dossier intel agencies used to spy on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign was included in a critical Obama-era report on Russia’s activities in the 2016 election — despite claims from top Obama officials that it wasn’t.

The information was disclosed Wednesday in a declassified 2020 report by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). Approved for release by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the unsealed records paint a damning picture of how high-ranking Obama administration officials included unsubstantiated dirt about Trump in its 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Moscow’s shenanigans in the 2016 contest.

That ICA, as The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway noted, included a “‘key judgment’ … that Russia had interfered in the election specifically because Putin and the Russian government ‘aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances.’”

The declassified report released Wednesday not only significantly undermines the ICA’s “key judgement,” but it also contradicts claims made by top Obama officials that salacious information from the infamous Steele dossier were not incorporated into the main body of the 2017 ICA.

As a quick refresher, the allegations that ultimately became the dossier were compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which in turn had been hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign’s law firm (Perkins Coie) to dig up dirt on Trump ahead of the 2016 election. The dossier was ultimately shopped by Steele to the FBI in early July 2016 and later used by the agency to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign official Carter Page.

Obama’s Intel Agencies Interfered In The 2016 Election, And Of Course The Media Don’t Care

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you told me a week ago that the federal government would release a bunch of official emails related to interference in the 2016 election and President Trump but virtually all of the media wouldn’t give a damn, I’d have assumed you were on drugs.

That’s what happened though. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday declassified a slew of internal government communications proving that then-President Obama’s intelligence agencies deliberately blocked the publication of a conclusive assessment that Russia had not manipulated votes in the 2016 election — contradicting the Russian-interference lie aggressively pushed by both Democrats and the dying news media.

As Margot Cleveland wrote this week here, “[T]he email threads declassified last week indicate the [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] … buried the PDB [President’s Daily Brief] to provide the intelligence community cover to issue a contrary assessment concerning Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election — and did so, against the recommendations of a wide array of intelligence professionals.”

At a minimum, that means a former president used American taxpayer dollars to smear his successor, sowing suspicion that Trump’s victory was illegitimate. That is, by definition, a scandal.

If it were Trump who did that to Biden, we would be hearing about this 50 years from now. Instead, the dying media are sweeping it away as a bore. (Read more from “Obama’s Intel Agencies Interfered In The 2016 Election, And Of Course The Media Don’t Care” HERE)

Gabbard Hints Obama Has Been Referred to DOJ for Criminal Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard hinted Wednesday that former President Barack Obama had been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation — but did not address constitutional obstacles to a prosecution.

In a briefing with reporters at the White House, Gabbard laid out the evidence that had been released on Friday and Monday from previously classified reports, showing that the outgoing Obama administration rejected intelligence assessments that said Russia had not interfered meaningfully in the 2016 election, and prepared a new assessment that reached the opposite conclusion, ostensibly to implicate President-elect Donald Trump and to undermine — and perhaps remove — his new administration.

Asked by Townhall reporter Katie Pavlich whether “any of this new information implicates former President Obama in criminal behavior,” Gabbard responded: “We have referred and will continue to refer all of these document to the Department of Justice and the FBI uh to investigate the criminal implications of this.”

She added: “The evidence that we have found and that we have release directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.” (Read more from “Gabbard Hints Obama Has Been Referred to DOJ for Criminal Investigation” HERE)

Florida Judge Says ‘Hands Are Tied,’ Won’t Unseal Epstein Grand Jury Transcripts

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge has denied the Trump administration’s request to unseal transcripts from Florida grand jury proceedings related to a 20-year-old criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, saying her “hands are tied.”

U.S. District Court Judge for the Southern District of Florida Robin Rosenberg wrote in her denial that an unrelated 2020 ruling by the Eleventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals “does not permit” her to unseal grand jury records in instances not covered by the criminal procedure rule, CNBC reported.

“Eleventh Circuit law does not permit this Court to grant the Government’s request; the Court’s hands are tied — a point the Government concedes,” Rosenberg wrote.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) petitioned the U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach, Florida, to obtain the transcripts from two grand juries that convened there in 2005 and 2007, respectively.

In its argument for the transcripts, which are normally left sealed in such cases, the DOJ pointed to a “strong public interest in the historical investigation into Jeffrey Epstein,” the convicted sex offender suspected of trafficking minors to other pedophiles.

Newly Declassified Report Reveals Putin’s ‘Kompromat’ on Clinton in 2016

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin possessed “devastating” information about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, including internal party emails fretting that her health was terrible and claiming she was on a daily dose of “heavy tranquilizers,” due to psychological problems.

But Moscow, predicting a Clinton victory in November 2016, kept a lid on it so they could use it against her when she entered the White House.

The revelation is part of a newly declassified House Intelligence Committee report, authored by panel Republicans in September 2020, that found significant flaws in the Obama administration’s intelligence assessment that Putin “developed a clear preference” for then-candidate Donald Trump and that Mr. Putin and the Russian government “aspired to help” Mr. Trump win by discrediting Mrs. Clinton.

“There was no collusion, no corruption, except on the part of Barack Obama and the weaponized intelligence agencies at the time,” White House press secretary Karolin Leavitt said Wednesday.

The intelligence community assessment, issued in the final weeks of the Obama presidency, downplayed significant evidence that Mr. Putin favored a Clinton win. (Read more from “Newly Declassified Report Reveals Putin’s ‘Kompromat’ on Clinton in 2016” HERE)

Declassified Report: In 2016, Obama Found Hillary’s Health ‘Extraordinarily Alarming’

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to a buried House Intelligence Committee report just declassified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, President Barack Obama and others reportedly had serious concerns about the health of 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton – some of the information Russia had but did not reveal at the time.

Commentator Charlie Kirk points out on X that in the final days of the 2016 campaign Russia “had huge amounts of potential anti-Clinton dirt that it sat on.” This included:

Internal DNC communication that Obama and others found Hillary’s health “extraordinarily alarming.”

Internal claims that Hillary was on “heavy tranquilizers” and suffering “intensified psycho-emotional problems.”

Evidence of severe health ailments like type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease.

Notes Kirk: “If Russia was really all-in on supporting Trump and hurting Clinton, it would have leaked this information in October 2016 when her lead in the RCP average slipped to just +1.3. Instead, Russia didn’t – completely debunking the core assumptions of the Russia hoax.

Roy Black, Famed Defense Attorney for Rush Limbaugh and Jeffrey Epstein, Dies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Roy Black, a prominent Miami defense lawyer whose clients included Jeffrey Epstein and William Kennedy Smith has died at the age of 80, his law partner said Tuesday.

The Miami Herald reported that Black, a father of two, died on Monday at his home in Coral Gables.

“For more than 30 years, Roy was my teacher, mentor and friend,” said his law partner, Howard Srebnick, in an email to The Associated Press. “The loss(es) I feel personally and professionally are immeasurable.”

Black represented, and won, a slew of high-profile clients, including Justin Bieber and race car driver Helio Castroneves.

In Miami, Black was viewed in legal circles as the GOAT, the greatest of all time, said fellow defense attorney David O. Markus, who compared his late colleague to NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.

“He worked harder than any lawyer I know. And he outlawyered every prosecutor who he ever went up against. I will miss him. His impact on criminal defense is beyond measure,” Markus said in an email to the news outlet. (Read more from “Roy Black, Famed Defense Attorney for Rush Limbaugh and Jeffrey Epstein, Dies” HERE)

Ghislaine Maxwell Preparing ‘New Evidence’ Ahead of Highly Anticipated Meeting with Feds, Her Brother Explains

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ghislaine Maxwell is assembling “new evidence” to present to the feds when she meets with them this week, her brother told The Post.

Jeffrey Epstein’s madame never gave her version of events to federal prosecutors before her 2021 trial, which resulted in a 20-year sentence for recruiting women and underage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse. She also never testified in her own defense.

“She will be putting before that court material new evidence that was not available to the defense at her 2021 trial, which would have had a significant impact on its outcome,” Ian Maxwell told The Post in an email Wednesday.

Maxwell, 63, is the lynchpin in the Epstein affair and one of the few people still alive who knows the names, times, dates and places of his entanglements — both in business and private. Epstein died in jail while awaiting trial in 2019.

“If she squeals on some of the people that she has videos on they won’t be happy, ” former Epstein sex slave Virginia Guiffre alleged in an interview with Gayle King on CBS News in 2020.

French President Sues Conservative Influencer For Calling His Wife A Man

/0 Comments/in , /by

French President Emmanuel Macron is suing right-wing media personality Candace Owens for repeatedly calling Macron’s wife a man, according to court filings released Wednesday.

Macron filed the suit in the Superior Court of Delaware, alleging Owens defamed him and his wife, Brigitte Macron, by claiming on her show and public social media that Mrs. Macron is a man and that the Macrons engaged in forgery and fraud to cover up her true identity. Owens previously stated in 2024 that she would “stake [her] entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man.”

Owens published an eight-part series earlier this year called “Becoming Brigitte” which aimed to expose the supposed true gender of Mrs. Macron.

“These outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions included that Mrs. Macron was born a man, stole another person’s identity, and transitioned to become Brigitte; Mrs. Macron and President Macron are blood relatives committing incest; President Macron was chosen to be the President of France as part of the CIA-operated MKUltra program or a similar mind-control program; and Mrs. Macron and President Macron are committing forgery, fraud, and abuses of power to conceal these secrets,” the lawsuit reads.
