Liz Cheney, January 6 Committee Suppressed Exonerating Evidence of Trump’s Push for National Guard

/3 Comments/in , /by

Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist shows.

Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now.

Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s first transcribed interview with the committee was conducted on January 28, 2022. In it, he told Cheney and her investigators that he overheard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows push Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as many National Guard troops as she needed to protect the city.

He also testified President Trump had suggested 10,000 would be needed to keep the peace at the public rallies and protests scheduled for January 6, 2021. Ornato also described White House frustration with Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller’s slow deployment of assistance on the afternoon of January 6, 2021.

Not only did the committee not accurately characterize the interview, they suppressed the transcript from public review. On top of that, committee allies began publishing critical stories and even conspiracy theories about Ornato ahead of follow-up interviews with him. Ornato was a career Secret Service official who had been detailed to the security position in the White House.

Trump’s Choices Elected to RNC Leadership Positions

/1 Comment/in , /by

Multiple reports Friday detailed that former President Donald Trump has completed his leadership push of the Republican National Committee (RNC), with party officials anointing his hand-picked choices for senior roles — including his daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

AP reports Michael Whatley, a North Carolina Republican who has backed Trump’s declarations of voter fraud, is set to be elected the party’s new national chairman in a vote Friday morning in Houston.

Lara Trump will become the co-chair. She follows a precedent set by Maureen Reagan, the daughter of President Ronald Reagan, the last family member of a president to serve as co-chair of the RNC back in the 1980s.

Whatley will carry the top title, replacing longtime chair Ronna McDaniel after she announced her departure last week, as Breitbart News reported. (Read more from “Trump’s Choices Elected to RNC Leadership Positions” HERE)

Feds Used ‘Secret Portal’ to Tell Banks to Flag Customers’ Purchases Involving MAGA, Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

Federal law enforcement operated a “portal” where it shared guidance instructing financial institutions to identify “domestic violent extremists,” which included searching for customer transactions including keywords like “MAGA” and “Trump,” as well as purchases for items like “religious texts,” according to a new House committee report.

Documents obtained by the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government revealed law enforcement “treated lawful transactions as suspicious and shared information with financial institutions through backdoor channels, often circulating materials exhibiting a clear animus towards conservative viewpoints,” according to the report. Through a web portal run after Jan. 6 by the Domestic Security Alliance Council (DSAC), a public-private partnership headed by the DHS and FBI, federal law enforcement shared materials offering guidance on identifying “extremists” with over 650 member companies, the report details.

One such intelligence product, titled “Domestic Violent Extremists Likely Emboldened in Aftermath of Capitol Breach,” put financial institutions on alert about Americans who “expressed opposition to firearm regulations, open borders, COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and the ‘deep state.’”

“Federal law enforcement used this report and materials like it to commandeer financial institutions’ databases and ask the financial institutions to conduct sweeping searches of individuals not suspected of committing any crimes,” the committee report explains.

The report also includes emails FBI officials sent directly to Bank of America with specific search requests. One request, sent on January 15, 2021, asks for any customer who made transactions in Washington, D.C. from Jan. 5-6 that had any “historical purchase” of a firearm or who purchased a hotel or Airbnb within a range of dates that month.

Biden Deploying U.S. Military to Provide Meals to Palestinians in Gaza

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has ordered the deployment of up to 1,000 U.S. troops to construct a temporary pier in Gaza. The goal is to facilitate the delivery of over 2 million meals per day to the citizens of Gaza, according to Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder.

The decision follows criticism from far-left Democrats and Muslim voters in the U.S. who expressed dissatisfaction with what they perceived as inadequate support for Palestinians in the aftermath of October 7 terrorist attacks orchestrated by Palestinian Islamic terrorists with Hamas. The attacks resulted in the tragic loss of 1,200 lives within Israel.

Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, speaking on Friday, explained that the “emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in Gaza” could be a lengthy process, potentially taking months, and involves the deployment of the 7th Transportation Brigade Expeditionary from Joint Base Langley Eustis in Virginia.

The Joint Logistics Over-The-Shore (JLOTS) capability will be utilized to create an expeditionary pier offshore, enabling shipping vessels to transfer cargo to smaller vessels. These smaller vessels will then transport and offload cargo to a temporary causeway, facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder emphasized that there would be “no U.S. forces on the ground in Gaza.” The planned concept involves U.S. military personnel on military vessels offshore, ensuring aid distribution without requiring personnel to go ashore. Ryder stated, “In terms of security on the ground, we’re continuing to plan and coordinate with partners in the region.”

Regarding aid distribution, Ryder mentioned ongoing coordination with ally and partner nations, the United Nations, and humanitarian non-governmental organizations.

In a profound spiritual gathering on Thursday night, the “God Loves You Frontera Tour” led by renowned evangelist Franklin Graham saw hundreds of Arizonans embrace faith, surrendering their lives to Christ. The tour, making its way across the southern United States border, reached a pivotal moment in Yuma, Arizona, where over 7,600 people converged at the Yuma County Fairgrounds for a night of spiritual awakening.

Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the joyous news, revealing that “hundreds came forward at God’s invitation to confess their sins, surrender their lives to Him, and believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ.” The event was not just a spiritual experience but also featured live music from Christian artists like Taya and Marcos Witt.

Photos shared by Graham, the son of the late televangelist Billy Graham, depicted families gathered in prayer, showcasing a powerful testament to the communal and familial aspect of the spiritual journey. The Yuma event marked the second to last stop of the “God Loves You Frontera Tour,” with the grand finale scheduled for Saturday in Chula Vista, California.

Prior stops on the tour included events in Tucson, Arizona, and the border town of Eagle Pass, Texas.

The Frontera Tour has been a beacon of hope and faith since its inception in 2017, with Graham conducting outreach tours in 77 cities across 28 states. The tour’s webpage proudly states that these events have reached over 570,000 people, with more than 34,000 individuals deciding to follow Jesus Christ.

Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address; Botches Name of Migrant-Murdered ‘Lincoln’ Riley in Trump-Bashing Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. President Biden stunned listeners Thursday as he veered from his highly partisan State of the Union address script to call out Georgia nursing student Laken Riley’s murder last month by an illegal immigrant — erring twice by calling her “Lincoln.”

Biden, 81, began his campaign-style speech by highlighting his best-polling positions — railing against former President Donald Trump on issues such as abortion, NATO and the Capitol riot — but was derailed by persistent Republican heckling, finally responding to their demands that he say Riley’s name hours after the House passed legislation in her honor to require migrants who commit certain crimes be sent to federal custody.

The president then held up a pin bearing Riley’s name, which Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had handed him on his way into the chamber, with Biden telling the congresswoman, “I know how to say her name.”

“Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, both botching her name and using a term considered politically incorrect by most Democratic officeholders.

“That’s right, but how many of the thousands of people being killed by illegals —” he began as Greene interrupted him with continued heckling over his border policies.

The president did not correct himself after botching Rliey’s name before adding: “To her parents, I say my heart goes out to you. Having lost children myself, I understand.” (Read more from “Biden Botches Name of Migrant-Murdered ‘Lincoln’ Riley in Trump-Bashing State of the Union Speech” HERE)

Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address

By Breitbart. . .Biden has finally finished this travesty of a partisan hit job speech. Even Jake Tapper on CNN says he has “never heard” a State of the Union with so many partisan attacks on the president’s leading political opponent.

. . .Biden is leading the charge for gun control. More extreme partisanship from Biden. He’s also now attacking “my predecessor” again repeatedly. This is amazing to watch a president yell at his predecessor and general election opponent this year in an election year State of the Union address.

Biden then calls for an “assault weapons ban” and then lies by claiming “none of this violates the Second Amendment.” . . .

Now, Biden is lying claiming the Lankford immigration and foreign aid plan would have helped solve the border crisis. These lies draw a seriously harsh response from the Republicans in the chamber who boo him, derailing the president off his planned remarks.

Biden is straight up lying now about Republicans on Social Security, falsely claiming that the GOP wants to cut Social Security. Trump has made clear that he wants to protect Social Security. (Read more from “Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address” HERE)

Matt Gaetz’s line of questioning to the assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI’s) cyber division about Hunter Biden’s laptop, according to documents uploaded by the DOJ.

Democrat Claims Her Election Was Rigged

/2 Comments/in , /by

Katie Porter, a Democratic candidate who ran in California’s 2024 Senate race, claimed Wednesday on Twitter that the primary was rigged after placing 3rd.

“Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign and voted to shake up the status quo in Washington. Because of you, we had the establishment running scared — withstanding 3 to 1 in TV spending and an onslaught of billionaires spending millions to rig this election,” Porter wrote in part. . .

Porter’s comments were challenged by community notes arguing that rigging implied “illegal manipulation of electoral outcomes” and that simply being outspent did not fall under this category. (Read more from “Democrat Claims Her Election Was Rigged” HERE)

Mass Shooter Had ‘Significant’ Brain Damage ‘Likely’ Caused From Exposure to Over 10,000 Grenade Blasts: Reports

/3 Comments/in , /by

The man who killed 18 people in Maine late last year had significant brain damage that likely played a role in his shooting rampage, according to experts who have analyzed his brain post-mortem.

The man, who The Daily Wire is not naming due to company policy about not giving notoriety to mass killers, had brain damage that is consistent with what experts see in military veterans who have had prolonged exposure to explosive blasts.

The man was a U.S. Army reservist and a longtime instructor at an Army hand grenade training range where he was exposed to more than 10,000 grenade blasts, according to a report from The New York Times.

The Maine Chief Medical Examiner’s office requested the Boston University CTE Center conduct the post-mortem study of the man’s brain.

“[The man] had evidence of traumatic brain injury,” said Doctor Ann McKee. “In the white matter, the nerve fibers that allow for communication between different areas of the brain, there was significant degeneration, axonal and myelin loss, inflammation, and small blood vessel injury. There was no evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).” (Read more from “Mass Shooter Had ‘Significant’ Brain Damage ‘Likely’ Caused From Exposure to Over 10,000 Grenade Blasts: Reports” HERE)
