A man’s carryon was flagged at a U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint in New York City on Sunday for containing banned items.

TSA confiscated six prohibited items, including nunchucks and saw blades, from an airline passenger traveling through New York City on Sunday, according to a TSA spokesperson.

“A lump of coal for this guy for the holiday,” TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein tweeted with a picture of the confiscated items. “Six prohibited items among a traveler’s carry-on items at @LGAairport on Sunday – 3 saw blades, nunchucks, a switchblade and a knife that folds into a bullet-shaped sheath. @TSA recommends packing these items in a checked bag.”

White House: Rescinding Military Coronavirus Vaccine Mandate ‘a Mistake’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House criticized House Republicans on Wednesday for working to rescind the coronavirus vaccine mandate for the military.

“We believe that it is a mistake,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said to reporters at the daily briefing.

House Democrats conceded to Republicans on Tuesday, allowing language rescinding the coronavirus vaccine mandate into National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

“Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall rescind the mandate that members of the Armed Forces be vaccinated against COVID-19,” the bill reads.

Biden’s decision to mandate coronavirus vaccines for the military resulted in more than 8,000 troops getting kicked out of the military. (Read more from “White House: Rescinding Military Coronavirus Vaccine Mandate ‘a Mistake’” HERE)

Investigation Reveals Where Released Immigrants Have Gone in the US

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project published a new report detailing how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have facilitated the last leg of travel for illegal immigrants once they reach the United States, which has only increased during the Biden administration’s border crisis.

The Oversight Project was able to compile the report by sampling approximately 30,000 unique and anonymized mobile devices that were geofenced to a number of these NGOs along the border. Illegal immigrants hand themselves over to Border Patrol to be processed and then released if Title 42 does not apply to their nationality, though the public health order is scheduled to end on December 21. Device pings were captured throughout the month of January 2022, in four different phases:

Phase One involved “geofencing” the physical locations of the Val Verde Border Humanitarian Center and the Del Rio Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Station—around 400 devices pinged on premises.

Phase Two of the investigation involved the geofencing of 20 NGO facilities in border states—around 22,000 devices pinged on premises.

Phase Three involved geofencing 13 NGO locations located in close physical proximity to the border—around 5,000 devices pinged on premises.

The ‘Twitter Files’ Miss the Real Scandal: FBI Interference in the 2020 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

I can appreciate clever. It’s when people — especially government officials — insult my intelligence that I get angry. And we should all be angry over the United States government’s interference in the 2020 presidential election, hot on the heels of its self-abasement during and in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election.

The FBI, as the pointy end of the executive-branch spear, would have us believe that it in no way intentionally interfered in the 2020 election. Yet the evidence that it did so, and that its doing so was part of a yearslong pattern, is by leaps and bounds stronger than the evidence that the Trump campaign corruptly conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election — the baseless allegation, energetically promoted by the bureau, that inflamed the country for two years.

I’ve laid out much of the 2020 evidence here at NR and in the New York Post — the latter piece coming after Elon Musk, Twitter’s new top honcho, made some of the platform’s internal correspondence relating to the 2020 campaign available to journalist Matt Taibbi, who reported on it publicly in a series of tweets. Taibbi’s reporting is important, but I was surprised by the weakness of his observation that, beyond a “general” warning about “possible foreign hacks,” there appeared to be no evidence of FBI complicity in the pre-election social-media suppression of the Post’s reporting on damning information from Hunter Biden’s laptop.

To summarize, three months before the Post reported on the laptop, there was already not only a Hunter Biden criminal investigation but a Senate Republican investigation of the scandal the media-Democrat complex continues to bury: the cashing in on Joe Biden’s political influence by his family members, with his knowing and willful involvement, to the tune of millions of dollars that poured into Biden family coffers from agents of corrupt and authoritarian regimes, including some, such as China and Russia, that are hostile to the United States.

Obviously worried about the potential effect of these revelations on their party’s presidential nominee, congressional Democrats turned to some of their many sympathizers in the FBI brass. These included Timothy Thibault, who ran the Bureau’s Washington field office until he was forced into early retirement over anti-Republican, anti-conservative posts on his social-media account, and Brian Auten, an intelligence analyst who played an important role in the deeply misleading FISA-warrant applications the FBI filed in federal court, leading the judges to believe the 2016 Trump campaign had colluded with the Kremlin. Through these officials, the FBI helped Democrats peddle a political narrative that the evidence of foreign money lining the Bidens’ pockets was “Russian disinformation” — notwithstanding that much of this evidence was simply money-trail records generated by financial institutions, easily verifiable.

Elon Musk Fires Twitter Lawyer James Baker, Former Top FBI Lawyer, Over Hunter Biden Story ‘Suppression’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Elon Musk has fired Twitter’s deputy general counsel, James Baker, over his alleged suppression of internal documents about blocking The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop exposé.

“In light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from Twitter today,” Musk tweeted Tuesday.

Musk added that he questioned Baker before his firing about the events surrounding the laptop suppression scandal and that the lawyer’s explanation was “unconvincing.”

Baker was previously general counsel for the FBI under former Director James Comey and a key figure in the bureau’s investigation into false claims of collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

During his time at the FBI, Baker worked with fiercely anti-Trump FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. (Read more from “Elon Musk Fires Twitter Lawyer James Baker, Former Top FBI Lawyer, Over Hunter Biden Story ‘Suppression'” HERE)

Ousted Twitter counsel Jim Baker vetted ‘Twitter Files’ without Elon Musk’s knowledge, Matt Taibbi reveals

By Fox News. Matt Taibbi, the journalist who first broke the news of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” revealed that the company’s top lawyer had “vetted” what information was shared without the knowledge of the new boss.

Musk announced on Tuesday that he had terminated Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker “in light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue.”

And when asked by a Twitter user if Baker was able to explain himself, Musk replied “His explanation was …unconvincing.”

Moments later, Taibbi began his own Twitter thread calling it a “Twitter Files Supplemental.”

“On Friday, the first installment of the Twitter files was published here. We expected to publish more over the weekend. Many wondered why there was a delay,” Taibbi tweeted. “We can now tell you part of the reason why. On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of ‘Twitter Files’ – without knowledge of new management.” (Read more from “Ousted Twitter counsel Jim Baker vetted ‘Twitter Files’ without Elon Musk’s knowledge, Matt Taibbi reveals” HERE)

Jury Finds Trump Organization Guilty in Tax Evasion Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump Organization, former President Donald Trump’s company, was found guilty Tuesday of committing tax fraud.

A jury ruled that two entities underneath the Trump Organization umbrella schemed to evade taxes by paying a number of its top executives through gifts and perks that were deducted from their paychecks, according to The New York Times. The gifts, which included items like luxury cars and apartment leases, were used to evade a stiffer tax penalty on income.

Prosecutors faced off against the Trump Organization in court proceedings that began in late October. Prosecutors argued that the company, as well as former President Trump, was complicit in a years-long tax evasion scheme involving multiple top executives, according to the Associated Press. The former president was not charged in the case.

The trial was against two Trump Organization entities: the Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corporation. The former was charged with nine counts, the latter with eight. The entities were represented by separate legal teams, and both were convicted on all counts. (Read more from “Jury Finds Trump Organization Guilty in Tax Evasion Trial” HERE)

White House Reveals Biden’s Top Priorities After Biden Says He Has ‘More Important Things Going On’ Than Visiting Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s top focus is the economy and anyone who thinks it shouldn’t be, should “say that out loud,” the White House told the Daily Caller after the president told reporters Tuesday that he has “more important things going on” than visiting the border.

“The President was clear that his top priority is investing in the American economy and in American communities, out-competing China, and bringing back American jobs from overseas. In fact, as Daily Caller reported multiple times recently, the economy is the top issue for most Americans. If anyone believes that shouldn’t be the President’s top priority too, they should say that out loud,” Abdullah Hasan, the White House assistant press secretary, said.

Multiple polls conducted before the midterms indicated a majority of voters listed issues relating to the economy as their top concerns.

The southern border has experienced a record-breaking number of roughly 2.3 million migrant encounters in fiscal year 2022, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has seen at least four personnel die by suicide in recent weeks, National Border Patrol Council Vice President At-Large Sergio Moreno revealed to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Caller also asked the White House if they thought the number of suicides by CBP personnel was normal. The White House did not respond to the inquiry. (Read more from “White House Reveals Biden’s Top Priorities After Biden Says He Has ‘More Important Things Going On’ Than Visiting Border” HERE)

GOP Lawmakers Demand President Biden’s Drag Queen Energy Official Resign After Arrest for Stealing Woman’s Luggage

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of GOP lawmakers penned a letter this week demanding the Department of Energy’s Sam Brinton resign following the DOE official’s arrest for allegedly stealing a woman’s luggage, RadarOnline.com has learned. . .

In the letter, which was exclusively obtained by Daily Mail, Rep. Clyde and his fellow GOP lawmakers demanded Brinton resign after it was revealed the official – who is non-binary – was arrested over allegations they stole a woman’s luggage from a baggage claim carousel at Minneapolis–Saint Paul Airport in September.

“[W]e demand the resignation of Sam Brinton, and we implore you to set aside petty politics and appoint only the most qualified and dedicated individuals to influence America’s energy sector,” part of Tuesday’s letter read.

“As an appointed official, Sam Brinton represents both your Department and the United States,” the letter continued. “It is simply not possible for an individual to represent American values and simultaneously violate the felony laws of the land.”

“Brinton’s actions, along with your Department’s lack of transparency when dealing with this matter, reflect poorly on the Department of Energy, and they raise concern as to the Biden Administration’s priorities when appointing high-ranking officials,” the 16 GOP lawmakers, which included Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs, added. (Read more from “GOP Lawmakers Demand President Biden’s Drag Queen Energy Official Resign After Arrest for Stealing Woman’s Luggage” HERE)

Top FBI Lawyer-turned-Twitter Censor, James Baker, Is Fired for Covering up the News and Defying Musk. When Will the Incestous, Partisan Media Finally Admit Twittergate Is Real?

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Twitter purge is on after Elon Musk dropped bombshell revelations of a direct pipeline from DC insiders to social media censors at Twitter. . .

On Monday, the White House blew off the scandal. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called the report ‘old news’ and a ‘distraction.’ . . .

These are the same journalists who shrugged off the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020, admitted that was a mistake just a few months ago, and are now turning a blind eye to another scandal involving – none other than – Hunter’s laptop. . .

ABC, CBS, and NBC News each gave the story fewer than 15 seconds of airtime on their weekend prime-time broadcasts.

Major U.S. newspapers spared only few column inches. (Read more from “Top FBI Lawyer-turned-Twitter Censor, James Baker, Is Fired for Covering up the News and Defying Musk. When Will the Incestous, Partisan Media Finally Admit Twittergate Is Real?” HERE)

JFK Assassination Expert Says CIA Has Proof Lee Harvey Oswald Was Involved in Secret Operation in 1963

/0 Comments/in , /by

The CIA is withholding evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was involved in a covert intelligence operation three months before assassinating John F. Kennedy in 1963, an author and investigator has claimed.

Prominent JFK expert Jefferson Morley said the operation, which sought to blame Cuban leader Fidel Castro for an act of violence that could be used as a pretext for a full-scale invasion by the US, would fundamentally alter the accepted history of the presidential assassination.

Mr Morley made the claim at a press conference on Monday for the Mary Ferrell Foundation, which filed a lawsuit in October seeking to force the CIA and the FBI to release all of the classified information it holds on the Kennedy assassination.

“This is an extraordinarily serious claim and it has profound implications for the official story,” Mr Morley said. “The CIA knew far more about the lone gunmen than they are even admitting today.”

JFK assassination experts have, for decades, sought to uncover evidence of US government involvement in a plot to kill the president. (Read more from “JFK Assassination Expert Says CIA Has Proof Lee Harvey Oswald Was Involved in Secret Operation in 1963” HERE)
