Never-Trump Lincoln Project ‘Should Be Reformed or Shut Down,’ Founder Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Political strategist Steve Schmidt took to Twitter Wednesday to blast disgraced never-Trump advocacy group the Lincoln Project, an organization he co-founded in 2019.

Schmidt stepped down from leadership at the Lincoln Project after reports surfaced that co-founder John Weaver allegedly sent sexually explicit messages to several young men.

“.@ProjectLincoln should either be professionalized and reformed or shut down. I founded it. i left it a year ago,” Schmidt wrote in the first of a series of tweets.

Among his many proposed reforms, Schmidt called for co-founder Reed Galen and high-ranking figures Ron Steslow and Mike Madrid to step down from their roles at the organization.

DOJ to Supreme Court: Don’t Intervene in the Case Involving Our Ransacking of Mar-A-Lago

/0 Comments/in , /by

This story began as a napalm raid but has now been reduced to a fire used to toast marshmallows for smores. That’s due to this FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago being boiled down to lawyer’s work, which is dull and torturously slow. We’ve reached the end of the road here regarding the lawfare, as the Trump team asked the Supreme Court to intervene. The Justice Department is asking the high court to avoid this case since they need to keep it alive in the hopes that they can find something to weaponize against the former president. The Trump team is arguing that the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled on the most recent DOJ appeal about their August raid, didn’t have the jurisdiction to rule on the special master ruling (via The Hill):

The Justice Department on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to reject former President Trump’s plea to intervene in his legal battle and allow the special master to review the classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump’s request to the high court comes after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Justice Department, siphoning off some 100 classified records from the third-party special master review of the documents seized from his Florida home.

The motion from Trump largely hinged on procedural grounds, arguing the appeals court erred by granting a stay of a challenge to a Florida judge’s ruling appointing the special master that barred the Department of Justice (DOJ) from accessing the classified records for its investigation.

But the Justice Department on Tuesday swiped back at Trump, arguing his legal team had done little to justify the need for the court’s intervention, as he failed to show he would be harmed without its action.

FBI Agent: No Direct Communications to Prove Oath Keepers’ Alleged Seditious Conspiracy

/0 Comments/in , /by

An FBI agent testified on Oct. 11 that he was not aware of any direct communications involving the Oath Keepers that would directly show that they planned to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6 and interfere with the certification of the Electoral College vote.

FBI Special Agent Justin Eller testified as part of the seditious conspiracy trial against four Oath Keepers members in a federal court in Washington. A defense lawyer asked Eller if, from all the Oath Keepers members’ and affiliates’ communications he reviewed, there were any that specifically read that the Oath Keepers were going to storm the Capitol.

“No,” Eller said.

The defense attorney then asked if there were any communications to prove that the Oath Keepers planned to stop the certification of electoral votes on January 6, 2021.

“No,” Eller said, and, after a pause, added, “directly.” (Read more from “FBI Agent: No Direct Communications to Prove Oath Keepers’ Alleged Seditious Conspiracy” HERE)

Tulsi Gabbard Scorches ‘Woke’ Dems, Takes Aim at Harris After Leaving Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard continues to torch the “woke” Democratic Party after announcing her exit Tuesday, calling out party leaders for “undermining” Americans’ freedoms.

“I made the decision to leave the Democratic Party alone because of the fundamental problems with this woke ideological leadership in the party,” she said Wednesday on Brian Kilmeade’s radio show.

“My commitment, my oath, my loyalty is to our country. And it’s always been country first. And to be associated with a party that is driven by this woke insanity, essentially opposing and undermining our freedoms, is not something that I could do any longer.”

Gabbard, who notoriously slammed Vice President Kamala Harris during a Democratic presidential debate in 2019, doubled down on her criticism during the interview with Kilmeade, calling out Harris’ “double standard” on key issues, including drug prosecutions.

“Kamala Harris is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with Washington and the Democratic Party of today,” she said. (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard Scorches ‘Woke’ Dems, Takes Aim at Harris After Leaving Party” HERE)

U.S. Singles Out China, Russia in New National Security Strategy Statement

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .On Wednesday, the White House drew attention to Biden’s worldview by releasing an official national security blueprint that singled out Russia as a dangerous foe and China as the United States’ chief competitor.

The three-page “National Security Strategy” contains few surprises, but it does effectively lay out what amounts to a Biden doctrine on foreign affairs at a time of heightened tension over a global economic slowdown and the war in Ukraine.

“The most pressing strategic challenge we face as we pursue a free, open, prosperous, and secure world are from powers that layer authoritarian governance with a revisionist foreign policy,” the memo says.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alex Jones was ordered to pay $965 million to families of victims of the Sandy Hook massacre by a Connecticut jury on Wednesday — in the second defamation ruling against the conspiracy theorist for his claims that the 2012 mass shooting was a hoax.

The far-right Infowars host has repeatedly claimed the shooting was a media fabrication, denying that gunman Adam Lanza slaughtered 26 people at the elementary school and then himself on Dec. 14, 2012. (Read more from “Alex Jones Must Pay Sandy Hook Families Nearly $1 Billion Over Hoax Lies” HERE)

Child Support: Joe Biden Says Hunter Is ‘on the Straight and Narrow,’ Denies Alleged Gun Crime; President Addresses Possibility of Hunter Biden Prosecution

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. President Biden said Tuesday that his son Hunter Biden is “on the straight and narrow” and denied his offspring committed a gun-purchase crime that the US attorney in Delaware reportedly is considering charging.

CNN host Jake Tapper asked Biden to give his first public response to reporting last week by the Washington Post that the FBI believes there’s enough evidence to charge Hunter, 52, with tax fraud and lying on a gun-purchase form by denying his drug use.

“Personally and politically, how do you react to that?” Tapper asked Biden, whose own involvement in his family’s overseas dealings will be a top focus of Republicans if they retake Congress in the Nov. 8 midterm elections.

“Well, first of all, I’m proud of my son. This is a kid who got, not a kid — he’s a grown man. He got hooked on — like many families have had happen, hooked on drugs. He’s overcome that. He’s established a new life,” the president told Tapper.

“He is — I’m confident that he is — what he says and does are consistent with what happens. And for example, he wrote a book about his problems and was straightforward about it. I’m proud of him.” (Read more from “Child Support: Joe Biden Says Hunter Is ‘on the Straight and Narrow,’ Denies Alleged Gun Crime” HERE)

President Addresses Possibility of Hunter Biden Prosecution

By Politico. President Joe Biden addressed the possibility of his son, Hunter Biden, being prosecuted for tax crimes and a false statement during a gun purchase — the first time the elder Biden has answered questions about the possibility of charges, first reported by the Washington Post.

“I didn’t know anything about it,” the president said in an interview that aired Tuesday on CNN, of his son possibly lying about drug use on an application to purchase a gun.

Federal agents think they have enough evidence to charge the younger Biden with tax crimes and the false statement, the Washington Post reported last week. However, no such charges have been filed by the U.S. Attorney in Delaware — an appointee of former President Donald Trump — yet.

U.S. Sensors Unable to Track Chinese, Russian Hypersonic Missiles: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. radars are unable to track Chinese and Russian high-speed missiles until late in their flight, even as new systems are being developed as part of the Pentagon’s accelerated hypersonic missile defense program, according to a congressional report.

The Congressional Research Service report said that the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency and Space Development Agency are working on parts of a hypersonic missile defense systems that could be used to stop the missiles, in part because current systems are inadequate for the job.

“U.S. defense officials have stated that both existing terrestrial- and space-based sensor architectures are insufficient to detect and track hypersonic weapons,” the Oct. 3 report states.

Mike Lee asks Mitt Romney for endorsement in final weeks of campaign
For geostationary satellite sensors, hypersonic targets are 10 to 20 times harder to detect than conventional ballistic missiles, which travel in more predictable trajectories, the report said.

Hypersonic missiles travel at speeds greater than 1 mile per second. Current U.S. space and ground radar systems are unable to detect the missiles until late in flight, making interception with anti-missile systems difficult.

FBI Offered Christopher Steele $1M for Evidence Backing Up Dossier Claims About Trump: FBI Analyst

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI offered Christopher Steele $1 million if he could prove allegations recorded in his now-infamous dossier, a senior FBI analyst said in court on Tuesday.

FBI analyst Brian Auten testified in the trial of Igor Danchenko, the primary source of allegations in Steele’s dossier, that the bureau placed a $1 million price tag on confirmation of the dossier’s outlandish allegations. Steele was unable to provide any evidence.

Auten said he and a group of FBI agents met with Steele in October of 2021 and offered the former British spy $1 million for evidence supporting the dossier, according to Fox News. The FBI’s offer came years after it had used the dossier’s claims to secure FISA warrants to surveil former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

“On October 21, 2016, did you have any information to corroborate that information?” Durham asked Auten, referencing the date the first FISA application to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page was filed. . .

Auten testified that the FBI offered Steele “up to $1 million” for proof substantiating allegations made in a series of reports to the bureau over the course of several months in 2016. The analyst said Steele never received any money because he could not “prove the allegations,” according to CNN. Steel’s reports were eventually compiled into the dossier first published by BuzzFeed News in January 2017.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Space and electric car guru Elon Musk denied reports that he recently talked to Russian President Vladimir Putin before unveiling his peace plan to end the war in Ukraine.

In a mailout to subscribers, Eurasia Group founder Ian Bremmer reported that Musk told him Putin was “prepared to negotiate” so long as Crimea remained within Russia’s grip, according to Vice News. Musk insisted that he hasn’t talked to Putin in nearly 18 months, which would precede the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February. . .

Bremmer later appeared to rebuff Musk’s denial, reiterating that Musk told him that he spoke with Putin, though refraining from laying out a specific timeline.
