Ex-DC Cop Shane Lamond Convicted of Working as Proud Boys ‘Double Agent’ for Jan. 6 Capitol Riot

/5 Comments/in , /by

An ex-Washington, DC, cop was convicted Monday of trying to cover up leaking confidential information to ex-Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in 2021.

Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson found former Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Shane Lamond guilty of all four counts of obstructing justice and making false statements after a seven-day bench trial.

Lamond, 48, of Colonial Beach, Va., is slated to be sentenced April 3 and faces up to 45 years behind bars, though he is likely to get a far lighter penalty under federal sentencing guidelines, which would take into account the fact that he has no prior arrests.

The feds said Lamond worked as a “double agent,” feeding then-Proud Boys national Chairman Tarrio a tip about the fact law enforcement had a warrant for his arrest for allegedly previously burning a Black Lives Matter banner. He also allegedly gave Tarrio “real-time updates” about the probe.

Lamond testified in his own defense, claiming he never gave Tarrio — whom he met in 2019 — confidential information about the investigation. (Read more from “Ex-DC Cop Shane Lamond Convicted of Working as Proud Boys ‘Double Agent’ for Jan. 6 Capitol Riot” HERE)

Donald Trump Blasts Joe Biden for Commuting Sentences of Death Row Inmates

/5 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday lashed out at President Joe Biden over his decision to commute the death sentences of almost every federal prisoner on death row.

Biden’s decision has met with criticism from individuals on both sides of the aisle. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “When you hear the acts of each [death row inmate], you won’t believe that he did this.”

In a subsequent post, the president-elect declared that when he takes office, he “will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.”

How Trump Can Restore Integrity and Lethality to America’s Declining Military

/3 Comments/in , /by

It’s safe to say that America has suffered greatly under the Biden-Harris administration. From a wide-open southern border to economic hardship, the laundry list of pains inflicted upon the public have been nothing short of horrific.

While no institution has been spared from these radical policies, there’s one in particular whose suffering Americans who care about the future security of the United States should take heed of: the military.

For the past four years, America’s armed forces have been undergoing a “reimagining.” Not content with simply allowing the military’s infrastructure to decline, the leftist ghouls running the White House have prioritized shoehorning neo-Marxist ideology into the service over the capabilities of America’s warfighters, prompting troops to abandon ship and dissuading new recruits from jumping on board.

Such destructive policies have left the United States’ defense apparatus in a vulnerable state. With foreign conflicts breaking out across the world and foreign adversaries becoming increasingly aggressive, it’s imperative the incoming Trump administration hit the ground running on restoring the military to the lethal and efficient fighting force it once was. . .

As any good general knows, a military is only as capable as the individuals who comprise it. Unfortunately for the Pentagon, convincing qualified men to join today’s service has become a nightmare.

RFK Jr. Senate Hearings May Further Erode Trust in the Corporate Media

/4 Comments/in , /by

Corporate media trust is at an all-time low, and the confirmation hearings for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be Secretary of Health and Human Services could deal another blow as Kennedy is presented with an opportunity to speak openly without being filtered through a mainstream media lens.

President-elect Donald Trump tapped RFK Jr., the son of former United States Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, to lead the HHS after Kennedy bowed out of a moderately successful independent presidential bid to endorse Trump.

Kennedy’s nomination drew intense backlash from the medical establishment and corporate media. He has been labeled a conspiracy theorist by his critics and much of the opposition to him has centered on past statements, particularly about vaccines and the environment.

A group of 77 Nobel Laureates wrote a scathing Dec. 9 letter urging the Senate not to confirm Kennedy.

“We strongly urge you to vote against the confirmation of his appointment as Secretary of the DHHS,” the letter read, citing Kennedy’s past stances on vaccines, community water fluoridation, a lack of public health credentials and labeled him a “belligerent critic” of some of the agencies that would fall under his purview as HHS Secretary, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Officers Left ‘Visibly Shaken’ After Entering Home, Arresting Father For ‘One Of The Most Horrific Things’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A man beheaded his one-year-old son during a domestic violence incident early Friday in Sacramento, local police reported.

Andrey Demskiy, 28, was found with his son’s head in a bedroom in his Antelope residence after police broke through to arrest him, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO). It was “a gruesome discovery,” the SCSO said.

The SCSO’s North Patrol Deputies were at Demskiy’s residence in response to a family disturbance report that they received at about 4:15 a.m. The deputies found Demskiy’s wife and her mother outside the residence. Demsky’s wife alleged that Demskiy had assaulted her and her mother, who was injured. Emergency personnel took the injured woman to the hospital — her injuries were non-life-threatening, the SCSO said.

Demskiy had barricaded himself within the residence and would not surrender, according to the statement. The deputies learned that the accused was with his son whom he might have injured after throwing him. The deputies then broke into the residence out of concern for the child’s safety. They overpowered and arrested the uncooperative and combative Demskiy, and discovered his severed child’s head, the SCSO said.

Investigators determined that Demskiy had assaulted his wife and her mother and, after the two women left the house to wait for the police, decapitated his son with a knife, according to the SCSO.

U.S. Navy Cruiser Accidentally Shoots Down U.S. Fighter Jet in Red Sea

/7 Comments/in , , /by

In a rare and concerning incident over the Red Sea, the USS Gettysburg, a guided missile cruiser, accidentally shot down a U.S. fighter jet early on Sunday morning, marking what U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) described as “an apparent case of friendly fire.”

The incident involved an F-18 fighter jet, which was operating from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, part of a U.S. Navy strike group currently deployed in the region. According to CENTCOM, the two Navy pilots onboard the F-18 managed to eject safely before the jet was shot down. One of the pilots sustained minor injuries, but both were rescued and returned to safety. CENTCOM confirmed that the incident was not caused by hostile fire, and a full investigation is now underway to determine how the accident occurred.

The USS Gettysburg is part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, which is currently stationed in the Red Sea as part of ongoing U.S. military operations in the Middle East. While CENTCOM provided few details on the exact circumstances of the accident, the timing and location suggest the incident may be linked to the tense security environment in the region.

The Truman Carrier Strike Group is engaged in multiple missions, including the protection of international shipping lanes in the Red Sea, as well as support for Israel amidst its ongoing conflict with Hamas. Additionally, U.S. forces are actively involved in countering missile and drone attacks from the Iranian-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen.

CENTCOM has previously pointed to the complexity of the environment, where incoming missile and drone threats from the Houthis have given sailors only seconds to react. It’s possible that the fast-paced nature of these operations, combined with the proximity of friendly and hostile forces, contributed to the tragic mistake.

The U.S. military has been involved in a number of operations in the region, particularly in response to the growing threats from the Houthis. On the day before the accidental shootdown, U.S. warplanes conducted airstrikes on a missile facility in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, targeting a site reportedly used by the Houthis to launch attacks against U.S. and international interests in the region.

The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have increasingly escalated their efforts to disrupt shipping in the Red Sea and launch strikes against U.S. and Saudi targets. Following the shootdown of the F-18, the group’s spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for launching eight drones and 17 cruise missiles at U.S. military assets, including the jet. However, CENTCOM has unequivocally stated that the downing of the F-18 was due to friendly fire, not a Houthi attack.

While the investigation into the accident is still in its early stages, CENTCOM has emphasized that the shootdown was not the result of hostile action. The U.S. military’s response to the incident will likely include a thorough review of operational protocols and communication systems aboard the USS Gettysburg and within the broader strike group.

Gay Couple Who Showed Off Picture-Perfect Family Get 100 Years in Prison for Horrific Rape of Adopted Sons

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A gay Georgia couple convicted of sickening sexually abuse of their two adopted sons will spend the rest of the lives behind bars.

William and Zachary Zulock, 34 and 36, were each sentenced last week to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole, the Walton County District Attorney’s office announced.

“These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” said District Attorney Randy McGinley, according to WSB-TV.

“However, the depth of the Defendants’ depravity, which is as deep as it gets, is not greater than the resolve of those that fought for justice and the strength of the victims in this case. The resolve I have seen from these two young victims over the last two years is truly inspiring,” he added.

The boys — two brothers who are now 12 and 10 years-old — were adopted from a Christian special-needs agency by the Zulocks. (Read more from “Gay Couple Who Showed Off Picture-Perfect Family Get 100 Years in Prison for Horrific Rape of Adopted Sons” HERE)

Critics Say Bystanders Stood by While Illegal Migrant Burned Woman to Death on NYC Subway

/4 Comments/in , /by

New Yorkers were up in arms Monday one day after an illegal Guatemalan immigrant allegedly burned a sleeping straphanger to death aboard a Brooklyn subway train — while bystanders did nothing.

Horrifying video footage of the incident shows at least three gawkers — one of them seen filming the shocking fatal blaze on his phone — and an NYPD cop standing outside the subway car as flames engulfed the unidentified victim after the Sunday morning attack.

“Nobody came to her aid,” said Guardian Angels founder and community activist Curtis Sliwa. “There’s no doubt that people don’t want to get involved. It’s the Daniel Penny factor. It’s frozen people. They’re saying to themselves: ‘I don’t want to get jammed up like Penny.

“People should have been running over to the woman on fire. They did nothing. They said nothing,” Sliwa said, calling the reluctance of bystanders to intervene “the Daniel Penny effect.”

Penny, a 26-year-old ex-Marine, was charged with murder last year for fatally choking vagrant Jordan Neely after Neely aggressively confronted frightened passengers on a Manhattan subway car.

Report: New Photos Show Joe Biden Meeting Hunter’s Chinese Business Partners, Introducing Son To Xi

/6 Comments/in , /by

Then Vice President Joe Biden met his son Hunter’s foreign business partners during a 2013 overseas trip to China, newly released photographs show. The unearthed records also document Hunter meeting Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.

Obtained by America First Legal (AFL) via open records request, the photographs from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) appear to show Hunter introducing his father to several Chinese members of BHR Partners, a Chinese investment firm with ties to the country’s Communist government.

As the New York Post previously reported, Hunter “cofounded BHR Partners in 2013 within weeks of joining then-Vice President Joe Biden aboard Air Force Two on an official trip to Beijing.” The First Son reportedly “held a 10% stake in BHR Partners at least through part of his father’s first year as president and the terms of his divestment remain murky,” according to the outlet.

The pictures obtained by AFL appear to show Joe meeting BHR Partners CEO Jonathan Li and Director and Managing Partner Ming Xue. The released records also show Hunter meeting Xi and then Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao.

Report: ‘Missing’ Republican Congresswoman Living in Texas Assisted Living Facility

/1 Comment/in , /by

Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX), who has missed votes for months, is reportedly in Texas at a $4,000-per-month assisted living facility.

The Dallas Express reported the 81-year-old, who represents Texas’s 12th congressional district, last voted in the House on July 24, and has not voted since.

As part of its investigation, the Express found that Granger’s D.C. office phones went directly to voicemail, found no sign her local Texas office was occupied, and ultimately discovered she is a resident at an assisted living facility:

We then received a tip from a Granger constituent who shared that the Congresswoman has been residing at a local memory care and assisted living home for some time after having been found wandering lost and confused in her former Cultural District/West 7th neighborhood.

The Dallas Express team visited the facility to confirm whether Granger was residing there and to inquire about how she planned to vote on the spending bill. Upon arrival, two employees confirmed that Granger is indeed living at the facility. However, we were not permitted to conduct an interview regarding the current spending debate in the House of Representatives and how or if Ms. Granger planned to vote.
