Jonathan Turley Asks the Million-Dollar Question About All Those J6 FBI Informants

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The J6 mystery just got even more convoluted. As you know, Revolver News has been at the forefront of peeling back the layers on this staged “Fedsurrection” that targeted President Trump and his supporters. We were among the first to suggest that feds had a significant presence that day, using possible “assets” like Ray Epps and others to stir up the crowd. We also blew the lid off the phony pipe bomb narrative. But as with all things J6, the more we know, the stranger the story gets.

Disgraced FBI Director Chris Wray conveniently resigned just before the IG report dropped. . .

Here’s Tucker talking about that moment:

However, for the sake of argument, let’s say Wray and the IG report are right, and there were indeed 26 federal informants on the ground and inside the Capitol on January 6. If that’s the case, Jonathan Turley has a few million-dollar questions he’d really like answered.

Headline USA:

Renowned legal scholar and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley sounded the alarm about the DOJ’s failure to disclose to Jan. 6 defendants that FBI informants were present in the U.S. Capitol that day in 2021, as detailed in a DOJ Inspector General report.

In a Thursday interview with Fox News host Martha MacCallum, Turley said the report raised “more questions than answers” about the FBI’s rumored role in inciting violence at the Capitol.

The law professor specifically such information would have been critical to defendants of the Jan. 6 protests who fell victim to the Biden DOJ’s aggressive prosecutions.

“In some ways, it raises more questions than answers. It does support Wray’s testimony that there were no undercover agents in the crowd,” Turley said, referring to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Trump Reportedly Looks to Privatize Massive Federal Agency

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly looking to privatize the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), three people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post in a report published Sunday.

Trump has made known his desire to detach the USPS from the federal government in conversations at his Mar-a-Lago estate, sources informed the outlet, including with Howard Lutnick, his commerce secretary pick and co-chair of his presidential transition team.

In early December, Trump also talked with a group of transition team officials to feel out their opinions on privatizing the agency, one person told the outlet.

As mail volume declines for the Postal Service, the agency has reportedly lost $9.5 billion in the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30, The Washington Post reported.

The outlet expressed concern regarding the potential effect on e-commerce of privatizing the Postal Service, naming Amazon, whose executive chairman Jeff Bezos reportedly plans to donate $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.

No Answers: White House Provides Most Detailed Update Yet on Drone Sightings; Latest on Mysterious Flying Objects in NJ, NY and Elsewhere

/3 Comments/in , /by

By Newsweek. The White House on Monday put out its most detailed statement yet on a flurry of drone sightings that have been reported across the Northeast in recent weeks.

“We assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and even stars that were mistakenly reported as drones,” John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesperson, told reporters Monday.

“We have not identified anything anomalous or any national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the Northeast,” he added. “The work continues.”

Federal and local officials have been confounded over reports of drone sightings in New Jersey and other parts of the Northeast that started about a month ago. (Read more from “No Answers: White House Provides Most Detailed Update Yet on Drone Sightings” HERE)

Latest on Mysterious Flying Objects in NJ, NY and Elsewhere

By New York Post. Weeks into the drones-over-New Jersey mystery, the FBI and Homeland Security are finally stepping up to investigate and determine what threat, if any, they might pose.

Garden State residents have reported thousands of drone sightings going back as far as Nov. 18. Despite the eerie flying objects taking to the skies above the Eastern Seaboard nightly ever since — and calls by local and state politicians, and President-elect Donald Trump, to shoot them down — federal authorities have given no explanation about what the drones might be.

Trump on Monday said the “government knows what is happening,” and accused President Biden and the Pentagon of hiding information.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer intends to leverage his last week at the helm of the upper chamber to push for legislation to address the uproar over drone sightings in New York and New Jersey.

Schumer announced Monday that he push for a vote on legislation to “give local officials greater authority to swiftly respond to these sightings.”

“The reports of the past few weeks have ignited immense anxiety and confusion for millions of people living across the Northeast,” Schumer said in a Senate floor speech Monday. “Thankfully, there is no reason to believe these drone sightings pose a national security threat.” (Read more from “Latest on Mysterious Flying Objects in NJ, NY and Elsewhere” HERE)

Joe Biden Tells Kamala Harris ‘You’re Not Going Anywhere’ After Loss

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden told Kamala Harris she’s “not going anywhere,” as the vice president reportedly mulls over her next move following her November election loss.

At the Democratic National Committee’s holiday reception in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, Biden said: “It’s also been an incredible honor to serve with someone of immense character as she demonstrated throughout her entire career — Kamala Harris.”

“I knew what I was doing when I asked her to be my vice president,” he said. “She always served this country with purpose and integrity, and she always will. And you’re not going anywhere kid — because we’re not going to let you go.”

Harris, who became her party’s presidential nominee after Biden dropped out of the race in July, ran a truncated campaign in under four months and ultimately lost to Donald Trump. It’s unclear what she will do next, but some reports suggest that she is contemplating whether to run for governor of California in 2026 or to try to win the Democratic nomination for president in 2028.

U.S. Senators Call Out Bureau of Prisons for Religious Discrimination

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. senators in Washington, on a bipartisan basis, are calling out the federal Bureau of Prisons for what apparently is discrimination against Christians and Christianity.

A report from CBN News explains they are “pushing for answers on practices happening under the First Step Act.”

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., and Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., said the problem is that prison officials are “not allowing” various faith-based programs “to actually get into the Federal Bureau of Prisons.” . . .

“I think Jesus lives in prison because it seems like so many people meet Him while they’re there. I would tell you that the love of God pours out to individuals regardless of their past,” Lankford explained.

He said various programs have been tested and proven effective, and can reduce recidivism significantly. (Read more from “U.S. Senators Call Out Bureau of Prisons for Religious Discrimination” HERE)

Biden Claims His Campaign Was ‘Basically Scandal Free’ And People Have Thoughts

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden claimed on Sunday that he had run a campaign free from scandal and critics were quick to point out the errors in that particular statement.

“We’ve run a campaign that’s basically scandal free. That’s hard to do in American politics these days,” Biden said.

Biden made the comments during the Democratic National Committee’s holiday reception in Washington, D.C. — where he also weighed in on the possible political future of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Trump War Room’s Jacob Schneider posted a brief clip from the event along with a caption that read, “BIDEN: ‘We’ve run a campaign that’s basically scandal free. That’s hard to do in American politics.’ (Except covering up his obvious cognitive decline, peddling his family’s influence, hiding classified documents, etc etc etc).”

Critics pushed back on Biden’s claim, laying out a few details that they thought he must have missed when making his assessment.

Trump-Hating ABC Settles Defamation Case With $15 Million Payment to Trump Library

/0 Comments/in , /by

A top corporate media player is paying a hefty price for its Trump Derangement Syndrome and for the claims of its Democrat Party hack.

ABC will fork $15 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s presidential library fund to bail out big-mouth anchor George Stephanopoulos for his false assertions that Trump had been found liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll, according to the terms of the settlement.

The agreement, signed Friday and made public Saturday, characterizes the payment as a “charitable contribution.”

ABC News weasels simply added an editor’s note at the bottom of a March 10, 2024 story headlined, “Nancy Mace defends her support for Trump after he was found liable for sexual assault.” They had no choice. The settlement demanded it.

“Editor’s Note: ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024,” the suspect apology states. (Read more from “Trump-Hating ABC Settles Defamation Case With $15 Million Payment to Trump Library” HERE)

Gov Abbott Blasts Migrant Accused of Setting Home on Fire With Children Inside

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently lambasted the migrant who allegedly tried killing his children in a house fire, and vowed to work with President-elect Trump’s incoming “border czar” to enforce law and order.

Pedro Luis Parra Pulgar, 46, was recently charged with three counts of attempted murder over a Nov. 6 incident at his home. The migrant allegedly set his Fulshear, Texas, home on fire while his three children were inside.

It is unclear whether Pulgar immigrated to the U.S. legally. Fox News Digital inquired about his legal status to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Abbott described his legal status as “unknown.”

In a Monday post on X, the Texas governor called for Pulgar to “spend the rest of his life” in jail.

“A Venezuelan immigrant – legal status unknown – is accused of setting a Texas house on fire with three children inside,” Abbott’s post read. “He better spend the rest of his life behind bars.” (Read more from “Gov Abbott Blasts Migrant Accused of Setting Home on Fire With Children Inside” HERE)

Popular Cooking Ingredient Linked to Cancer Diagnoses in Young People

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Climbing rates of colon and rectal cancer among people under 50 years old is a striking recent trend that has alarmed and puzzled clinicians racing to figure out why. Now a new study published in Gut offers what might be a crucial insight: specific lipids, or fatty acids, that are abundantly found in ultra-processed foods may be promoting inflammation that causes cancerous colon cells to run amok.

Colorectal cancer tumor samples from 81 people in the U.S. had excessive amounts of inflammation-boosting lipids, called omega-6 fatty acids—and lacked helpful lipids called omega-3 fatty acids, which help stop inflammation.

Inflammation is a normal defensive response that the immune system switches on to heal wounds or fight off infection. But researchers in the 1800s found that colon tumors under a microscope looked like “poorly healed wounds,” says Timothy Yeatman, a co-author of the study and a professor of surgery at the University of South Florida. Rampant inflammation over long periods of time damages cells and hampers their ability to fight potentially cancerous cell growth. Omega-6 fatty acids often come from our diet, and Yeatman suspects ultraprocessed food is likely a major source of them.

“We don’t know the full effects of these ultraprocessed foods on our body, but we do know that that’s a major thing that’s changed from 1950 onward,” Yeatman says. “Young people today, particularly rural and impoverished people, are being exposed to more of these processed foods than anybody else because they’re cheap and they’re in all the fast-food restaurants.”

Many ultraprocessed foods and fast foods are prepared with seed oil—a cheap, common type of vegetable-based cooking oil that is chemically processed from seeds such as canola (rapeseed), corn, grapeseed and sunflower. These oils contain high amounts of omega-6 fatty acids. The study was not able to definitively connect the lipids detected in the colon cancer tumors to any specific food or oil, however.

Congress’s Adoption Tax Credit Legislation Is Pro-Life and Pro-Family

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Amidst rising inflation, soaring housing prices, and increased living costs, raising a family has become more expensive. Adoption itself is no exception; today, the process can cost between $20,000 and $45,000, making this meaningful path to family formation simply unaffordable for many. A 1985 Washington Post article gives an example of an adoption that cost just $4,000 in 1980, or about $15,000 in today’s dollars, indicating that adoption costs may have outpaced overall inflation rates.

While some outstanding nonprofits help reduce the financial barriers to adoption, the process is still far too costly for many would-be parents. Enter third-party “baby brokers,” firms that sometimes use unethical practices to connect prospective birth mothers with adoptive parents. These brokers are not licensed adoption agencies, have no legal authority to place children, and are inadvertently driving up the cost of adoption. . .

Thankfully, there’s a practical solution that could make adoption more accessible: the Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act. Introduced in 2023, this bill has garnered bipartisan support, including from Senators Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. In a hyperpartisan political landscape, and in the aftermath of a divisive presidential race, it is encouraging to see a measure that both sides can rally behind.

National Review Institute Senior Fellow Kathryn Jean Lopez recently said in a webinar, “[A]fter Roe, Dobbs — what it means to be ‘pro-life’ has to be more of an examination of conscience. We have to be more creative about it … and there also is tremendous opportunity for common ground.” The Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act is common ground and a measure of support for both children and families.

The Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act would amend the U.S. tax code to provide adoptive parents with a refundable tax credit for adoption-related expenses. The current adoption tax credit, which is non-refundable, functions like a deduction: it reduces a family’s tax liability but doesn’t put money back in their pockets. The new refundable credit will do just that for many low- and middle-income families. Given today’s cost of living, this tax relief could allow more families to pursue adoption and provide loving homes to children.
