U.S. Intelligence Officer Accused of Selling Military Secrets to China

/0 Comments/in , /by

A U.S. Army intelligence analyst was arrested this week on allegations that he sold military secrets to China.

Korbein Schultz, a 24-year-old Army soldier stationed at Fort Campbell in Kentucky and Tennessee, was charged on Thursday with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, exporting technical data related to defense articles without a license, conspiracy to export defense articles without a license, and bribery of a public official. Schultz is accused of sending critical military documents, including information on U.S. weapons systems, to an individual in Hong Kong in exchange for $42,000.

“Mr. Schultz, a member of the U.S. Army, stands accused of conspiring to obtain and provide national defense information to an individual overseas. As part of the conspiracy, the defendant provided sensitive government information to his coconspirator in exchange for thousands of dollars, placing personal profit above the security of the American people,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department.

Schultz appeared in federal court in Nashville on Friday and pled not guilty to the crimes he is charged with.

According to the indictment, Schultz’s illegal activity began in June 2022 and continued until his arrest. One of his most recent duties was listed as “Classified Document Custodian,” the indictment noted. (Read more from “U.S. Intelligence Officer Accused of Selling Military Secrets to China” HERE)

Here Were Some of Trump’s Best Posts About Biden’s Unhinged State of the Union

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. It’ll never happen, but if our elections were solely fought in the arena of social media, Joe Biden would get slaughtered. Biden’s team had that ‘Dark Brandon’ creation, but it never went anywhere because Biden is old, weak, and can’t remember when his son died. Trump’s team has brutalized this White House, including mocking Biden and Nancy walking together—they spliced a nursing home into the video to make it seem like a Visiting Angels commercial.

While his Twitter account has been restored, Trump solely uses his Truth Social platform. He was live-blogging Biden’s unhinged State of the Union address last night, and it was more entertaining than anything Joe had to say last night. The bombastic, partisan speech was marketed as some comeback for Biden. Give it time; all it takes is for him to fall again for voters to realize he’s too old to be president.

From Biden’s machismo in standing up to Putin, which was ridiculous, to the economy, immigration, and the rule of law, Trump was there to slap down all of Biden’s lies:

Here’s Why Biden’s Unscripted Moment Freaked out Democrats

By Townhall. . .President Joe Biden finally referenced Laken Riley’s name, sort of, during Thursday’s State of the Union address. He referred to her as “Lincoln Riley,” acknowledging she was “an innocent young woman who was killed, by an illegal, that’s right!” The accused killer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, is here illegally from Venezuela. The official White House transcript indicates that Riley wasn’t mentioned in the prepared remarks. We can thus thank Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for Biden acknowledging that Riley “was killed by an illegal.” Yet Democratic members and other liberals went nuts that the president would dare to use that term.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was among them. During her appearance on CNN right after the speech, she insisted Biden “should have said undocumented,” adding, “We usually say undocumented.” Her response came as Dana Bash pointed out she wasn’t even asking what Pelosi thought about the term the president used.

There were those even more enthusiastically outraged at Biden, including and especially over social media. Many of them are members of Congress or state legislatures.

Biden Blames ‘Eavesdropping’ Media After Netanyahu Needs ‘Come to Jesus’ Moment Hot-Mic Snafu

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden was caught saying on a hot mic Thursday evening that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needed a “come to Jesus” talk about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

The president, 81, made the awkward comment about the Jewish state’s head of government while mingling with lawmakers following his State of the Union address — asking Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) to keep what he said confidential.

“I told him, ‘Bibi’ — and don’t repeat this, but [I said] ‘You and I are going to have a come to Jesus—’,” Biden began as an aide rushed over to stop him from saying more, exclaiming “Sir!” and whispering in his ear.

“I’m on a hot mic here,” Biden said out loud after the aide conveyed his message, adding sarcastically, “Good. That was good.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stood nearby, and it was unclear whether they overheard the remark. (Read more from “Biden Blames ‘Eavesdropping’ Media After Netanyahu Needs ‘Come to Jesus’ Moment Hot-Mic Snafu” HERE)

Biden Slammed as ‘Pathetic’ by Laken Riley’s Mother for Fumbling Murdered Nursing Student’s Name at State of the Union

/1 Comment/in , /by

The heartbroken mother of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley slammed President Biden for fumbling her daughter’s name during the State of Union speech — calling him “pathetic” for the slip.

“Biden does not even KNOW my child’s name – it [sic] pathetic!” Allyson Philips wrote Friday in response to a comment on a Facebook post celebrating the passage of the Laken Riley Act.

‘If you are going to say her name (even when forced to do so) at least say the right name!” she insisted.

The grieving mother also wrote “Amen!” underneath a comment that called Biden “a disgrace of a president.”

Biden, 81, accidentally referred to the 22-year-old nursing student – who was murdered on the University of Georgia campus two weeks ago – as “Lincoln Riley” during the speech Thursday night.

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.

President Joe Biden signaled on Friday he would sign off on new legislation in Congress that could potentially result in the ban of TikTok.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted unanimously on Thursday to advance a bipartisan bill that would force Bytedance, a Chinese-based company, to sell its subsidiary app TikTok or face removal from U.S. Biden told reporters on Friday that he would greenlight the legislation if Congress can pass the bill.

“If they pass it, I’ll sign it,” Biden said before boarding Air Force One en route to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

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.
