This City Is Now America’s Murder Capital

New Orleans is now the murder capital of America – surpassing St. Louis.

As of Sept. 11, New Orleans has had 205 murders thus far in 2022, according to the Metropolitan Crime Commission. With 52 homicides per 100,000 residents, New Orleans is the top U.S. city for murders, ahead of St. Louis with 45 homicides per 100,000 residents. The third worst city for murders is Baltimore with 40 homicides per 100,000, followed by Chicago with 17 homicides per 100,000 residents, according to Fox News.

New Orleans has experienced a 141% increase in homicides this year compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. There has been a 100% increase in shootings in Louisiana’s Big Easy party city compared to 2019.

“Carjackings are up 7% and armed robberies are up 42%,” Rafael Goyeneche of the Metropolitan Crime Commission told WVUE-DT. “It’s finally reached a tipping point, and the public demanded that something be done.”

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell recently hired a new crime prevention consultant – Fausto Pichardo, the former head of the New York City Police Department’s patrol division. (Read more from “This City Is Now America’s Murder Capital” HERE)

Major City to Dole Out $12,000, Free Phones to Homeless Trans, ‘Non-Binary’ People

Denver plans to dole out free phones and $12,000 apiece to 140 homeless women and transgender and “non-binary” people over the next year as part of a bigger partnership with a local nonprofit, according to a report.

The money, which totals about $1.7 million, will come out of a $2 million fund from the federal American Rescue Plan Act under a plan the city council approved, according to Axios. The money comes with no strings attached and makes Denver the latest Democratic-run city to experiment with universal basic income.

“The Denver Basic Income Project is an opportunity to explore how the philanthropic community and the private sector can augment public support for those living in poverty, particularly our unhoused neighbors, and extend that hand up to stability,’ Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said in a statement.

The city’s funds will be passed through the Denver Basic Income Project, a nonprofit that plans to raise some $9 million to hand out to an estimated 820 homeless women and transgender and non-binary people.

Supreme Court Case Scores Another Second Amendment Win in DC

A Washington, D.C., regulatory limit on how much ammunition a concealed carry handgun permit holder can carry was removed after a local resident filed a lawsuit in federal court this summer.

On Sept. 14, Robert J. Contee III of the Metropolitan Police Department gave notice to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Circuit that he had repealed the district’s ban on carrying more than 20 rounds, citing an emergency basis for the decision.

“On review of these developments, this regulation, its enforcement history, and in consideration of other regulations that govern concealed-carry licensees, the Chief has determined that emergency rulemaking action is prudent and necessary for the immediate preservation of the welfare of District residents and to enable the District to avoid accruing liability for attorney fees in legal challenges,” Contee wrote in the legal filing.

The concern of liability stemmed from a notorious civil activist named Dick Heller, who for the second time in under a year succeeded in amending the district’s gun laws after suing in federal court. Heller became a household name in the legal world after the Supreme Court’s 2008 ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller, which ruled the Second Amendment protects “the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.” (Read more from “Supreme Court Case Scores Another Second Amendment Win in DC” HERE)

Trump Scores Two Huge Victories in Fight for Special Master

By The Federalist. The Biden administration cannot use the documents the FBI seized from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home for criminal investigative purposes until a special master completes an independent review of the material, a federal judge held on Thursday.

That decision and the court’s selection of Trump’s preferred special master candidate, coupled with the fulsome review process adopted yesterday by presiding Judge Aileen Cannon, represent a huge victory for the former president. But Trump’s win shouldn’t be a loss for the Department of Justice—unless the Biden administration played fast and loose with the facts and seeks to hide the truth from the country to launch an October surprise.

During the August 8, 2022, Mar-a-Lago raid, the FBI seized more than 11,000 documents, as well as clothing and other items from the Trumps’ home. On September 5, 2022, Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee, granted the former president’s request for the appointment of a special master to review the seized property. That order left open several issues, however, including the identity of the special master and the process and timing for the review.

Pending the special master’s review of the seized material, Judge Cannon also entered an injunction prohibiting the government from using the documents “for criminal investigative purposes. Three days later, the DOJ filed a notice of appeal, announcing its intent to ask the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Cannon’s injunction.

The DOJ simultaneously filed a partial motion to stay with the trial court, asking Cannon to put on hold her ruling as to the documents marked classified. Specifically, the DOJ asked the court to hold that while its appeal proceeds, it need not provide documents marked as classified to the special master for review. The DOJ also asked the court to allow it to use the documents marked classified as part of its criminal investigation during the pendency of the appeal.

Judge Blocks DOJ’s Unchecked Review of Records Seized in Mar-A-Lago Raid

By The Blaze. On September 15, federal district Judge Aileen Cannon denied two requests that the Department of Justice made last Thursday: First, that the DOJ be allowed to resume reviewing allegedly classified records seized by the FBI in its August 8 raid of former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence; and second, that no neutral third party be brought on to vet these same documents.

Cannon wrote: “The court does not find it appropriate to accept the government’s conclusions on these important and disputed issues without further review by a neutral third party in an expedited and orderly fashion.”

She took issue with the DOJ’s demand that she “adopt hastily without further review by a Special Master” their premises and called into question the department’s representation of the documents, saying “evenhanded procedure does not demand unquestioning trust in the determinations of the Department of Justice.”

In a Monday filing, Trump’s attorneys noted that the former president is endowed with the powers to declassify records, without expressly stating that Trump had done so. Trump has, however, explicitly indicated he declassified the documents. (Read more from “Judge Blocks DOJ’s Unchecked Review of Records Seized in Mar-A-Lago Raid” HERE)

Forging Ahead: Trump Mar-a-Lago Saga Takes an Unexpected Turn

A document filed on the docket in the court case related to last month’s FBI search at former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate appears to have been submitted by a serial forger locked in a North Carolina federal prison complex, according to the Associated Press.

The document, which was filed on Monday and remains on the docket as of Friday afternoon, looked to be from the Treasury Department and said the agency had seized sensitive documents related to the Aug. 8 raid at Mar-a-Lago and included a warrant ordering CNN to “preserve leaked tax records.” However, a review of dozens of court records and interviews by the Associated Press suggests the document is entirely fake and may have originated from someone with a history of filing other phony court documents.

Marked as a “MOTION to Intervene by U.S. Department of the Treasury,” the document is riddled with spelling and syntax mistakes, stating, “The U.S. Department of Treasury through the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Marshals Service have arrested Seized Federal Securities containing sensitive documents which are subject to the Defendant Sealed Search Warrant by the F.B.I. arrest.”

A federal statute for collecting financial records in investigations was cited in the document and also included two supposed warrants, one to a towing company in Michigan and another claiming to be sent to CNN in Atlanta, according to a copy of the allegedly bogus filing obtained by the Washington Examiner.

The True Domestic Enemy of the American Constitutional Republic Is the Tyrannical Globalist Ruling Class

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” – Sun Tzu, The Art of War

A recent article posed the question “Is Lindsey Graham Trying to Throw the Midterm Elections to Democrats? Was Mitch McConnell Behind It?”

That is, with so many potent issues on which Republican candidates can base their campaigns, like inflation, recession, millions of illegal aliens streaming across the border and Biden’s open war on his political opposition, why would Senator Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) propose a federal abortion ban after 15 weeks, an issue surely to energize the Democrat voter base?

The answer is simple – intentional election sabotage.

One might ask, however, why would a Republican Senator want to sabotage his own party’s chances for election victory?

That answer is also simple, if one discards the traditional notion of a two-party system and identifies the true enemy of the American constitutional republic.

The U.S. government is a de facto one-party state composed of the entire Democrat Party, the federal bureaucracy, a obsequious media, a radical academia, most corporations and 90% of the Republican Party.

The one-party state is beholden to and fulfills the ambitions of rich and powerful globalists, whose governance model more closely matches those of the World Economic Forum and the Chinese Communist Party than the American constitutional republic.

It is why 90% of the Republican Party does nothing to oppose the Biden regime’s destructive policies and works with the Democrat Party to defeat “Make America Great Again (MAGA) Republicans.”

Their joint purpose is to maintain the corrupt status quo from which they all so greatly benefit.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, for example, would rather a Democrat win over a “MAGA Republican” because he and 90% of the Republican Party view “MAGA Republicans” as a greater threat to their personal power and profit than any of the social or economic problems now afflicting the nation.

It is why 90% of the Republican Party does nothing to inhibit Biden’s war on “MAGA Republicans.”

The greatest fear of the tyrannical globalist ruling class is that Americans might take back control of their government.

Patriotic Americans should stop thinking that the political battle now underway to determine the survival of the American Republic is one defined by Democrat versus Republican.

It is a battle for control of the U.S. government between a tyrannical globalist ruling class devoted to maintaining a de facto one-party state and Americans who wish to restore their constitutional republic.

It is, in fact, the tyrannical globalist ruling class that has subverted our constitutional republic and represents the true domestic enemy and the real threat to democracy.

Yes, vote like your lives depended upon it, because it, quite literally, does.

But know that 90% of the Republican Party is part of the tyrannical globalist ruling class and Republican control of Congress will not necessarily lead to any change in the corrupt status quo.

So, the bottom-up MAGA political insurgency must continue, although it will be a long generational fight to restore our constitutional republic.

At least with the enemy identified, we can fight more effectively.

To quote Churchill:

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

But if we do not defeat the tyrannical globalist ruling class and take back control of the U.S. government, it may be the end of everything.

Stunning Discovery: Developer Says He’s Broken Into “Some ‘Backdoor’ in Mathematics Itself” That Proves That the Universe Has a ‘Creator’

. . .[Voxengo’s Aleksey] Vaneev posits that: “‘intelligent impulses’ or even ‘human mind’ itself (because a musician can understand these impulses) existed long before the ‘Big Bang’ happened. This discovery is probably both the greatest discovery in the history of mankind, and the worst discovery (for many) as it poses very unnerving questions that touch religious grounds.”

The Voxengo developer sums up his findings as follows: “These results of 1-bit PRVHASH say the following: if abstract mathematics contains not just a system of rules for manipulating numbers, but also a freely-defined fixed information that is also ‘readable’ by a person, then mathematics does not just ‘exist’, but ‘it was formed’, because mathematics does not evolve (beside human discovery of new rules and patterns). And since physics cannot be formulated without such mathematics, and physical processes clearly obey these mathematical rules, it means that a Creator/Higher Intelligence/God exists in relation to the Universe. For the author personally, everything is proven here.”

Vaneev says that he wanted to “share my astonishment and satisfaction with the results of this work that took much more of my time than I had wished for,” but that you don’t need to concern yourself too much with his findings if you don’t want to.

Horrifying Security Camera Footage Shows Robber ‘Executed’ a ‘Very Gracious’ Store Clerk: Police

A horrifying video showed a murder that unfolded in Tupelo, Mississippi, at a convenience store on Sunday where a “very gracious” man working at the store was allegedly “executed” by the suspect, police said.

The Daily Journal reported that police charged 26-year-old Chris Copeland with capital murder for allegedly shooting 33-year-old Parmvir Singh in the back of the head after ordering him to get on the floor of the Chevron Food Mart.

Tupelo Police Detective Wes Kloac said that security camera footage from inside the store showed the suspect walking into the store, pulling a gun out of his waistband, and pointing it at Singh. . .

“The clerk is very gracious and even gave him a stack of money he didn’t ask for,” Kloac testified. “He opened the safe for him and gave him a bank bag.”

The video showed Singh get on the floor and the suspect jumping over the counter. “(The suspect) then walked up behind Mr. Singh and, at point blank range, executed him,” Kloac said.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Claimed the FBI Seized His Phone

By Business Insider. During a Facebook broadcast Tuesday night, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed the FBI had been “weaponized” against him when it executed a search warrant to seize his phone.

According to a copy of a subpoena uploaded by Lindell, federal agents took his cellphone Tuesday as part of a warrant seeking records related to the “authorization or lack of authorization to damage or modify any Dominion computerized voting system.” The investigation was also related to “any attempted misappropriation, theft, conversion, transfer, or exfiltration of any proprietary hardware, software or other data” related to the voting machines.

The FBI didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

In a comment to The Daily Beast, the Denver FBI field office said “without commenting on this specific matter, I can confirm that the FBI was at that location executing a search warrant authorized by a federal judge.”

“They want to know about Dominion and Mesa County in Colorado,” Lindell told Insider, referring to the investigation into Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, a pro-Trump Colorado election official accused of facilitating an election-data leak.

DOJ Issues More Than 30 Subpoenas to Trump Associates: Source

By Fox News. The Department of Justice has issued a flurry of over 30 subpoenas to aides of former President Donald Trump, a source familiar with the federal investigation confirmed to Fox News.

The Justice Department also seized phones from two top Trump advisers in the investigation, which aims to probe Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of a rigged 2020 presidential election.

The dozens of new subpoenas mark a rapid escalation in pressure applied to the Trump camp by the DOJ.

The Justice Department is investigating allegations of phony Electoral College certifications from 2020 that declared Republicans were the electors voting for Trump and Mike Pence when in fact Democrats had won and voted for President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Timothy Parlatore, an attorney for Trump confidant and former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, confirmed that Kerik received a subpoena last Tuesday to appear before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Sept. 23.

Royal Bombshell! King Charles III Accused of Gay Tryst by Ex-palace Valet Years Before Taking the Throne

. . .[T]here has been more talk over the years about alleged trysts between the now-King of England and various guys. “Rumors that Charles might be gay or bisexual have plagued the Royal family for years, ever since his marriage to Diana hit the rocks,” said one source.

It’s well known that throughout his 15-year marriage to Di, Charles was caught carrying on with the wife of one of his close friends, Camilla Parker-Bowles, whom he ultimately wed in 2005.

In 2011, a high-placed Palace source revealed to RadarOnline.com that even then, “many believed his romance with Camilla was just a cover for his real lifestyle.”

The most devastating accusation came from former palace servant Smith, a gay man and a military veteran who suffered mental problems from his service. Valet Smith claimed that he was bringing Charles his breakfast in bed and stumbled upon the Prince and an “unmistakably sexual position” with a male aide.

Charles’ supporters blasted the servant’s tale, declaring the man was a serious drink with mental issues. Also, Smith had a grudge against the man he said was romping with Charles. Smith charged that the man, later identified as Palace valet Michael Fawcett by “Majesty” magazine editor Ingrid Seward, has sexually attacked him — twice! (Read more from “Royal Bombshell!
