Former FBI Deputy Director Acknowledges Errors in Trump FISA Scandal

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Andrew McCabe, the former FBI Deputy Director, admitted on Thursday that the bureau made “many mistakes” in its handling of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications related to Carter Page, an aide to former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

During a CNN interview, McCabe, who now serves as a CNN law enforcement analyst, defended FISA’s Section 702 while responding to Trump’s criticism of the program. Trump had called for the termination of FISA, alleging that it was used to spy on his campaign.

McCabe acknowledged the errors in the FISA application targeting Carter Page, stating that there were “many mistakes” in the process. He emphasized the distinction between Section 702 and the specific FISA application related to Page, which faced criticism for its reliance on an unverified dossier.

In 2018, McCabe was fired from the FBI by the Trump Department of Justice, just hours before his retirement, over allegations of “lack of candor” regarding disclosures to the media. McCabe filed a lawsuit contesting his firing, claiming it was politically motivated, and ultimately reached a settlement in 2021 that restored his pension and benefits.

The debate over FISA’s reauthorization has intensified in Congress, with some lawmakers pushing for reforms to protect the privacy of U.S. citizens. FBI Director Christopher Wray has defended Section 702 authorities as “critical” for national security, while House Speaker Mike Johnson argued that the proposed reforms would address past abuses.

Despite opposition from a bipartisan group of lawmakers, the House blocked consideration of a reauthorization bill for Section 702 just days before its expiration.

Rand Paul Vows to Investigate Fauci’s ‘Secret Trips’ to CIA, Promises Further Probe into COVID-19 Origins

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Senator Rand Paul, known for his ongoing investigation into the origins of COVID-19, has revealed plans to delve into Dr. Anthony Fauci’s alleged undisclosed visits to the CIA. In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Paul disclosed his intentions to scrutinize Fauci’s connections with the CIA, particularly in light of conflicting narratives surrounding the origins of the pandemic.

According to Paul, the CIA’s official stance attributing COVID-19 to animal origins contrasts sharply with findings from other federal agencies, such as the Department of Energy and FBI, which suggest a potential lab leak from Wuhan, China. Paul highlighted the suspicious reversal of the CIA’s initial assessment, alleging that senior officials overruled their own scientific committee’s conclusion that the virus likely originated from a lab. More from the Daily Mail:

‘The CIA officially still says [COVID-19 is] probably from animals,’ Paul said. ‘We also have stories, rumors and innuendo that Fauci was a frequent visitor off the books to the CIA.’

He pointed to how the CIA disagrees with findings from the Department of Energy and FBI that have said the the pandemic likely originated from a leak at a Wuhan, China, lab.

And that though an initial CIA assessment found the lab leak theory was likely, senior officials in the agency overruled their findings.

‘We have another whistleblower from the CIA that says that the scientific committee that was commissioned to look into the origins of the virus actually voted six to one that it came from the lab and that they were overruled by superiors at the CIA,’ the senator told DailyMail.com.

Furthermore, Paul raised concerns regarding a 2018 proposal from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and EcoHealth Alliance to create a novel coronavirus, which involved collaboration with several U.S. federal agencies, including the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) led by Fauci. Paul underscored Fauci’s potential knowledge of the proposal, given NIAID’s partnership, and questioned the agency’s response to the subsequent COVID-19 outbreak.

Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) attributing the pandemic to animal origins, Paul criticized this explanation as “batty,” citing awareness of the Wuhan lab’s proposal among federal agencies. He also raised suspicions regarding the NIAID budget’s increase for biomedical weapons research under Fauci’s leadership.

Paul expressed frustration with the lack of cooperation from federal agencies under the Biden administration but expressed optimism about the potential for a more favorable administration in the future. Hinting at a Trump presidency, Paul suggested that better access to sealed documents could aid in his investigation.

Making History: Joe Slips up in Plea to Voters for Support (VIDEO)

President Joe Biden slipped up during his joint press conference with the prime minister of Japan, saying he’s “in the 20th century” before quickly correcting himself to say 21st.

Biden was answering a question on the Arizona state supreme court ruling that brought back an 1864 abortion law.

“What do you say to the people of Arizona right now who are witnessing a law go in place that dates back to the Civil War?” a reporter asked.

Biden was ready with an answer, at least a first.

“Elect me,” he said immediately. “I’m in the 20, 20th century — 21st century. Not back then. They [Arizona] weren’t even a state.”

Kristi Noem Banished From 10% of State She Governs After Latest Expulsion

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) has been banned from some 10% of South Dakota, the state she governs.

On Tuesday, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council voted to ban Noem from areas under its control. Combined with bans from the Oglala Sioux Tribe in February and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe last week, the Republican governor is now banned from about one-tenth of the state, according to the Daily Beast.

The banishment came in response to remarks Noem made about the Native Americans of the state, accusing tribal leaders of not doing enough to expunge the influence of drug cartels.

“Governor Kristi Noem’s wild and irresponsible attempt to connect tribal leaders and parents with Mexican drug cartels is a sad reflection of her fear-based politics that do nothing to bring people together to solve problems,” SRST Chairwoman Janet Alkire said in a press release. “Rather than make uninformed and unsubstantiated claims, Noem should work with tribal leaders to increase funding and resources for tribal law enforcement and education.”

The director of the Lakota People’s Law Project, which says on its website that it “works closely with tribal nations and nonprofit compatriots to amplify Indigenous voices” and “provides on-the-ground support when and where it is needed most,” said Noem is “prohibited from entering sovereign territory of Sioux bands.” (Read more from “Kristi Noem Banished From 10% of State She Governs After Latest Expulsion” HERE)

TV Outlet Accidentally Airs Man’s Testicles During Solar Eclipse Coverage

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Mexican news outlet is garnering ridicule online because it accidentally aired a man’s testicles when presenting viewer-submitted footage of Monday’s solar eclipse.

RCG Media’s 24/7 news program was covering the eclipse when its three anchors presented clips submitted by fans experiencing the celestial phenomenon — only to fall prey to a well-known prank in Latin America, the local La Vanguardia newspaper reported.

As the male host was listing the cities from where the eclipse could be enjoyed, the clips being presented on the left side of the screen cut to a man blocking out the sun with his testicles.

One of the two female anchors could be heard gasping in shock while her male colleague carried on, ignoring the obscene image.

The clip was quickly taken off the screen, with the male anchor explaining that the clips were submitted by viewers as he admitted that the fervor to include fans’ experiences can lead to embarrassing situations for broadcasters.

Meet Celebrities’ Favorite la School Turning Their Kids Trans

A deeper look into a California school may explain why Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s daughter, Seraphina, used her grandfather’s funeral to announce that she will now identify as a man.

Seraphina isn’t the first famous teenager to suffer from sudden gender dysphoria. Affleck’s stepdaughter, Emme Maribel Muñiz, claims to be non-binary, and one of Elon Musk’s sons calls himself a woman. All three of these children reportedly attend the same school, Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences, in Santa Monica, California.

The Kindergarten – 12th-grade school, which has been open for over 50 years, says it strives “to prepare students to think critically, express themselves openly, and commit themselves to lives that value community, justice, and activism.” If you know anything about how to spot a progressive left indoctrination camp parading as a school, the words community, justice, and activism should have raised alarm bells. . .

“Social justice is woven throughout every student’s experience at Crossroads, informing the lens through which they see the world. The K-12 curriculum provides students with a progressively nuanced exploration of historical and current-day inequities: locally, nationally and internationally. Through class projects; community service; clubs and organizations; student-led activism; and the Crossroads School Equity & Justice Institute, students learn about critical social justice issues, raise awareness among their peers and take action to affect meaningful change,” the website states.

Tucker Carlson Shines Light on Devastation Brought on Palestinian Christians Amid Gaza Conflict

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a recent interview, Tucker Carlson brought attention to the plight of Palestinian Christians in Gaza amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Speaking with Reverend Munther Isaac, pastor at the Evangelical Lutheran Christian Church in Bethlehem, Carlson shed light on the severe impacts faced by the Christian community in the region.

During the interview, Carlson emphasized a seldom-discussed aspect of American foreign policy, noting the disproportionate suffering endured by Christians in conflict zones. He highlighted instances such as the destruction of a Greek Orthodox Church in Gaza during an October airstrike, which claimed the lives of at least 17 people. Carlson also recalled the tragic events of the 2002 siege of the Church of Nativity, where an Israeli soldier fatally shot a mentally disabled clergyman.

Reverend Isaac elaborated on the challenges faced by Palestinian Christians, describing the fragmentation of Christian communities across Gaza, Israel, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. He underscored how the harsh realities of Israeli military occupation have compelled many young Palestinian Christians to leave their homeland in search of better opportunities elsewhere.

Moreover, Isaac lamented the lack of support from American lawmakers, noting the absence of aid or solidarity from Congress, with few exceptions. He expressed disappointment in the failure of self-professed Christian leaders to advocate for their brethren in the Middle East.

Carlson criticized figures within the American Christian right who remained silent or even advocated for actions detrimental to Palestinian Christians. He called attention to statements made by Republican Michigan Representative Tim Walberg, condemning his call to eliminate U.S. aid to Gaza in a manner akin to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Isaac condemned such rhetoric, highlighting the incongruity between calls for mass violence and the teachings of Christ. He expressed concern over the damage inflicted on the credibility of Christians in the Middle East by such statements.

The interview further delved into harrowing accounts of Israeli airstrikes targeting churches and killing innocent civilians, including children. Isaac recounted the tragic loss of life, emphasizing the vulnerability of Palestinian Christians amid the conflict.

Isaac also drew attention to the persecution faced by Christians in East Jerusalem, where they are targeted by radical Jewish groups. He described incidents of vandalism, harassment, and incitement against Christians, calling for accountability for such acts.

Overall, the interview served as a stark reminder of the human cost of the Israel-Hamas conflict, particularly for vulnerable communities like Palestinian Christians

Mayo Clinic Study Raises Concerns Over Irreversible Harm and Possible Cancer Link with Puberty Blockers for Boys

/3 Comments/in , , /by

A groundbreaking study conducted by the Mayo Clinic has delivered a sobering message, challenging prevailing beliefs surrounding the safety of puberty blockers for boys undergoing gender dysphoria treatment. Contrary to assertions made by transgender activists, the research suggests that these blockers may inflict irreversible harm on male physiology, with potential implications extending to cancer risks.

The preprint study, drawing upon data from the Mayo Clinic’s Pediatric Testicular Biobank for Fertility Preservation, unveiled troubling findings regarding the effects of puberty blockers on young males. Specifically, the research focused on testicular specimens from 87 biological males under the age of 18, including 16 gender dysphoric boys aged 10 to 16, nine of whom had been administered puberty blockers for varying durations.

Disturbingly, the study revealed instances of testicular atrophy and abnormalities among transgender patients who had undergone puberty suppression. One particularly alarming case involved a 12-year-old boy who experienced significant testicular shrinkage and microlithiasis – a condition associated with testicular cancer – after just 14 months of puberty blocker usage.

Moreover, a 14-year-old boy who had been on puberty blockers for over four years exhibited profound impairment in sperm production, raising concerns about long-term fertility consequences.

The study’s findings challenge the prevailing narrative that puberty blockers are entirely reversible and underscore the urgent need for further investigation into their safety and efficacy. Researchers caution that gender-affirming care with these blockers could potentially induce permanent alterations in gene expression patterns, with far-reaching implications for male reproductive health.

The study’s release has ignited a broader conversation about the risks associated with puberty blockers for young males. Notably, author J.K. Rowling, known for her criticism of the transgender agenda, highlighted the study’s significance on social media, drawing attention to its implications for medical practices and patient care.

Biden Regime Just Proved Once and for All That the U.S. Government Is the Most Corrupt Organization in the World, and It’s Not Even Close…

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Our justice system is a goner. The writing was on the wall the moment Douglass Mackey got a federal prison slot for posting an anti-Hillary meme. Then, seeing J6 patriots branded as domestic terrorists and political prisoners sealed the deal. And when they threw a parade of sham indictments at President Trump, also known as “election interference,” well, that was the cherry on top. However, if anyone’s still thinking our system might have a shred of fairness left, this latest saga ought to flip that switch for you and prove once and for all that the US Government is the most corrupt organization in the world and it’s not even close…

What has the Biden regime been up to now? The woman affectionately dubbed the “J6 Grandma,” Rebecca Lavrenz, found herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Captured on video praying outside the Capitol on January 6th, she ventured inside for about ten minutes, where she was recorded having a peaceful exchange with a police officer. Yet, astonishingly, in what’s supposed to be the “land of the free,” she was put on trial, found guilty, and now stares down the barrel of federal prison time and up to a quarter-million dollars in fines. At 72, this Christian grandmother from Colorado embodies the harsh truth: The United States, for all its lofty claims of moral superiority, operates with a level of tyranny that rivals the most oppressive regimes, all while convincing much of the world it’s the bastion of “freedom,” brimming with liberty and justice. At least with tyrants in North Korea and similar regimes, the situation is pretty clear-cut; you know exactly what you’re dealing with. But the US government plays the game with a more cunning and evil twist. It’s not just that dissent is crushed and voices silenced; it’s how it’s done—with a wide smile and draped in layers of propaganda so thick, you’d need a shovel to find your way out. This approach makes the US government’s tactics not just oppressive but insidiously deceptive. We’re the most dangerous kind of villain: the kind that masquerades as a hero.
