JD Vance Walks Back President Trump’s Promise to Pardon All J6ers

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Vice President-elect JD Vance said that President-elect Donald Trump will issue pardons for peaceful protesters on Jan. 6, 2021 — but not violent rioters.

Vance said that there were scores of individuals who “were prosecuted unfairly” after the Jan. 6 ransacking of the Capitol and that the Trump administration will “rectify that.”

“If you protested peacefully on January the 6th, and you’ve had Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned,” Vance, 40, told “Fox News Sunday” about the line Trump will draw.

“If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned. And there’s a little bit of a gray area there. But we’re very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law.”

Vance later responded to backlash over his comments — with some accusing him of “walking back” promises to pardon people who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6. (Read more from “JD Vance Walks Back President Trump’s Promise to Pardon All J6ers” HERE)

‘We Will Raise Hell’: MAGA Activists ‘Swearing Vengeance on J.D. Vance’ for New ‘Betrayal’

By Raw Story. Donald Trump’s number two has found himself to be the number one target of several faithful members of the MAGA movement, including Jan. 6 rioters. . .

That comment struck a chord with numerous Trump supporters, including Philip Anderson, a Texas man who was arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges connected to the riot.

“Telling your own supporters that the election was stolen and then not giving them a pardon or commutation after you sent them into what you call a ‘fedsurrection’ and ‘trap’ is a betrayal,” he wrote Sunday. “All of the J6 defendants must be saved. JD Vance is wrong and I hope Trump will save his own supporters.”

Another Jan. 6 defendant, Samuel Fisher, (aka Brad Holiday ), replied to Anderson, saying, “He better or we will raise hell for the rest of our lives.” . . .

“J6 defendants and family members are swearing vengeance on JD Vance if all of the J6 defendants are not saved. And they are right to do it,” he said on X. (Read more from “‘We Will Raise Hell’: MAGA Activists ‘Swearing Vengeance on J.D. Vance’ for New ‘Betrayal’” HERE)

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Defies Federal Government, Orders Flags to Fly At Full Staff for Trump Inauguration

By New York Post. Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott flouted federal orders Monday and announced that flags in the Lone Star State will be flown at full-staff for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week.

Abbott’s declaration comes two weeks after President Biden ordered flags be flown at half-staff for 30 days to honor former President Jimmy Carter, who died at the age of 100 on Dec. 29.

“Today, I ordered flags raised to full-staff at the Texas Capitol & state buildings for President Trump’s inauguration,” Abbott wrote on X. “While we honor President Carter’s service, we also celebrate an incoming President & our bright future.”

In a lengthier statement, Abbott argued that the US flag should be displayed “especially on… Inauguration Day, January 20.”

Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president falls within the 30-day mourning period, which is due to end Jan. 28. (Read more from “Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Defies Federal Government, Orders Flags to Fly At Full Staff for Trump Inauguration” HERE)

Investigators Say They Caught Murderer 21 Years After Cold Case But Can’t Do Anything About It

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Washington State investigators alleged Thursday that they caught the murderer in a cold case from 21 years ago but said he cannot be prosecuted.

The Island County Sheriff’s Office (ICSO) said they have officially closed the case of the Dec. 9, 2003 murder of Tamara “Tammy” Mattson, who was a 39-year-old mother of seven, in a Facebook post. Officials said they are “confident they have identified the perpetrator,” Carl D. Schlobom, 69, who is currently imprisoned for life without parole in Arizona for a 2005 murder.

“Unfortunately, Schlobom cannot be prosecuted for Ms. Mattson’s murder, even if prosecutors had sufficient evidence to prove his guilt, because he suffers from advanced dementia,” the ICSO said.

Mattson’s body was found in Camano Island State Park in 2003 and authorities followed up leads and conducted interviews for almost six years but did not advance the case. At the time of the initial investigation, officials found a cigarette butt in a parking lot near where Mattson’s remains were located.

Officials were able to test it for DNA in 2009 with assistance from the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab. The DNA matched Schlobom’s as his DNA was admitted to the national CODIS database following his 2005 conviction, according to police. Officials then had to prove that Schlobom was there when the murder occurred and not just a bystander or witness. Investigators then spent 10 years searching for any connections between Mattson and Schlobom.

Wife of Matthew Livelsberger — Green Beret Involved in Las Vegas Bombing — Speaks Out, Hits Rumors and Lies

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The wife of Army Master Sgt. Matthew Livelsberger — the Green Beret involved in the Las Vegas Tesla Cybertruck bombing on New Year’s Day — broke her silence on Sunday evening in a statement put out by a fellow Green Beret veteran.

In her statement, she hit back against what she says has been misinformation and lies spread about her and Livelsberger, such as that they were having marital problems and that she kicked him out of their home before Christmas.

She specifically slammed a rumor spread by the Chief of Staff of the Army’s public affairs officer, Lt. Col. Dave Butler, that their newborn daughter’s DNA did not match Livelsberger’s.

Matt Tardio, host of Speak the Truth podcast, posted the statement from Livelsberger’s wife, Jennifer Davis, on his X account. . .

Podcaster Shawn Ryan on his show said Butler had said in a private conversation that Livelsberger’s child’s DNA did not match his. Ryan’s lawyer, Tim Parlatore, later described his conversation with Butler in detail, and called it “one of the weirdest conversations that I’ve ever had with a public affairs officer.” (Read more from “Wife of Matthew Livelsberger — Green Beret Involved in Las Vegas Bombing — Speaks Out, Hits Rumors and Lies” HERE)

Mark Zuckerberg Exposes Alarming Details About Biden Admin’s Social Media Influence (VIDEO)

/8 Comments/in , , /by

META founder Mark Zuckerberg has made headlines after revealing startling details about the Biden Administration’s influence on social media platforms, and in a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, the Facebook CEO admitted that the Biden government had pressured his company to crack down on certain types of content, particularly around the 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic. Zuckerberg’s comments have reignited debates over the extent of government involvement in regulating speech on private platforms, raising questions about the balance between national security concerns, free speech, and corporate influence in the digital age.

Zuckerberg revealed that the Biden Administration often treated its employees poorly when seeking to remove certain Facebook content. He told Rogan that the outgoing president’s staffers would yell and demand content be censored—even over things deemed accurate.

“Basically, these people from the Biden administration would call up our team and, like, scream at them and curse,” Zuckerberg said. “It just got to this point where we were like, ‘No, we’re not gonna, we’re not gonna take down things that are true. That’s ridiculous.’”

The META CEO, who made liberal’s heads turn after congratulating President-elect Donald Trump on his historic win, revealed that when the Biden Administration was trying to push out its vaccine program, the government attempted to censor anyone who argued against it.

“They pushed us super hard to take down things that were honestly, were true,” he continued. “They basically pushed us and said, you know, that ‘anything saying that says vaccines might have side effects, you basically need to take down.’ And I was just like ‘We’re not going to do that, we’re clearly not going to do that, I mean that is kind of inarguably true.”

Owner of ‘Miracle’ Malibu Mansion Reveals Why He Thinks House Survived Raging Fire

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The owner of a nearly $9 million Malibu mansion miraculously spared being leveled by the raging Los Angeles wildfires told The Post on Friday he was stunned to learn that when the smoke cleared, it was still standing.

“It’s a miracle — miracles never cease,” said retired waste-management exec and married dad of three David Steiner, 64, of Texas.

Steiner said he thought his stunning three-story California structure — which was vacant at the time — was a goner when a local contractor sent him video of flames and smoke engulfing his property and his neighbors’ Tuesday. . .

Steiner, a lawyer and former head of Waste Management, Inc., in Houston, said he believes that his property’s ultra-sturdy construction — likely designed to protect it from earthquakes — saved it from the Palisades Fire that destroyed the homes all around it.

“It’s stucco and stone with a fireproof roof,’’ he said, adding that it also includes pilings “like 50 feet into the bedrock’’ to keep it steady when powerful waves crash into the seawall below it.

Here Are All The Ways DEI-Crazed Officials Made The LA Fire More Deadly

/11 Comments/in , , /by

As relentless fires burn in Los Angeles, thousands of residents who fled their homes are just learning how poorly public officials prepared for such an event. Emergency response leaders following bad public policy have been too focused on sending firefighting equipment to Ukraine, keeping the homeless safe, protecting fish, and adopting green policies to focus on things like making sure there is enough water to feed fire hydrants and guaranteeing that the strongest, best-trained, most-skilled firefighters are leading operations.

Officials seem to believe that when fire forces you to flee your home, there is just one thing on your mind: the skin color and cultural experience of the firefighters who will bring you to safety. Will they be diverse enough to rescue you? Never mind if they are the best for the job, are they anything but straight white men?

That has been a major priority of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which, in 2022, launched its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Bureau (DEI), purportedly “focused on ensuring a safe, diverse and inclusive workplace for all.”

In January 2022, then-Mayor Eric Garcetti checked multiple DEI boxes by appointing Kristin Crowley as fire chief, the first female, LGBT chief in Los Angeles. That year, according to LAFD data, “of the more than 6,500 applicants to LAFD, 70% were people of color and nearly 8% … were female,” which was “double the … percentage of female firefighters within the Department” at the time.

The LAFD Girls Camp is one avenue for recruitment for female firefighters, hosting girls between 14 and 18 to explore career opportunities in the department.

Lip Reader Reveals What Trump and Obama Discussed at Jimmy Carter’s Funeral

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump had what appeared to be a warm conversation Thursday ahead of former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, but a professional lip reader told The Post their smiles and laughter belied more serious substance.

Trump, 78, possibly wary of cameras facing the pair as they sat shoulder to shoulder, cautioned Obama, 63, that they would have to “find a quiet place” later in the day to discuss a “matter of importance,” according to forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman.

It’s unclear what precisely that conversation would entail, but Freeman’s translation indicated that Obama and Trump may have been discussing international agreements.

At one point, Trump leaned toward Obama and said, “I’ve pulled out of that. It’s the conditions. Can you imagine that?” . . .

Obama laughed as Trump added, “and after, I will,” before the pooled TV camera feed cut away from the men, who were bracketed by former first lady Laura Bush and Trump’s wife Melania. (Read more from “Lip Reader Reveals What Trump and Obama Discussed at Jimmy Carter’s Funeral” HERE)

End of Days: Pharmacies Flooded With Panic-Gripped Crowds Rushing to Stock up on ‘Miracle Pills’ to Stave off Deadly HMPV Virus

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Pharmacies in China have become inundated with people trying to buy “miracle pills” amid the spread of the deadly HMPV virus .

RadarOnline.com can reveal the flu-like bug, which mostly affects vulnerable people and children, is spreading across the country but it remains unclear how many cases there currently are.

Chinese authorities are keeping information limited but worrying footage of chaotic overcrowding in hospitals, with patients hooked up to IV drips in waiting rooms, has only increased fears of the “mysterious virus” which continues to cause devastation.

Masked-up patients can be seen in Beijing Children’s Hospital as they battle the infectious bug. One mom was spotted trying to comfort a baby that appeared to have a drip connected to its head. . .

According to reports, some pharmacies are starting to ramp up prices of a medication named Xofluza to 300yuan (€40) a box and each box comes with two pills.
