FBI Busts Man with Seven Homemade Bombs Allegedly Intended for Major U.S. City

/8 Comments/in , /by

A New York man is facing federal charges after allegedly building and stashing homemade bombs across Manhattan, including on active subway tracks and residential rooftops.

Michael Gann, 55, of Inwood, was charged Tuesday with manufacturing at least seven improvised explosive devices (IEDs) using chemicals he bought online, according to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton.

“The safety of New Yorkers is paramount,” said Clayton.

“As alleged, Michael Gann built explosive devices, stored them on a rooftop in SoHo, and threw one onto the subway tracks—putting countless lives at risk. Thanks to swift work by our law enforcement partners, no one was harmed. That vigilance assuredly prevented a tragedy in New York,” Clayton said in a statement.

Authorities say Gann’s alleged actions included throwing an IED onto the Williamsburg Bridge subway tracks and hoarding explosives, some with shotgun shells, above Manhattan apartment buildings. (Read more from “FBI Busts Man with Seven Homemade Bombs Allegedly Intended for Major U.S. City” HERE)

Horror Story Emerges from Surrogate Who Confirms Gay Couple Demanded a Dead Baby

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A horror story worthy of Edgar Allen Poe or Stephen King has been documented by Lila Rose, the noted pro-life activist who runs Live Action, among other endeavors.

It involves two homosexual men who contracted with a surrogate for a baby, but when she needed to deliver early because of a cancer diagnosis, they insisted that their “property” die.

A report at Not The Bee explained the sequence of events triggered by a gay duo who “boldly nominated themselves for the Most Hideously Evil Monsters of the Year Award.”

It documented how the homosexuals could not force the surrogate to abort, but once the baby was born, it became their “property.” They simply allowed no life-saving efforts at all, and the baby died.

Illegal Alien Charged for Staging a Kidnapping and Attempting to Frame ICE

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A wild plot out of California has landed an illegal immigrant in court after being accused of orchestrating a fake kidnapping and falsely pointing the finger at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Authorities say the suspect staged the entire scenario, allegedly to vilify federal immigration officers and manipulate public sentiment.

Julie Calderon, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, allegedly pretended ICE took her in a Jack in the Box parking lot. The “kidnapping” hoax involved a fake press conference, police report, and GoFundMe account. Calderon was found roaming free after convincing leftwing activists that she was in custody.

In July, the Los Angeles Police Department officially closed the missing persons case involving activist Claudia Calderon, who was reported missing on June 25. Just days after her alleged disappearance, supporters held a press conference claiming she had been kidnapped from a fast-food restaurant parking lot in South L.A. by unidentified men in unmarked vehicles, possibly “bounty hunters.” Calderon later claimed she had been held in a warehouse near the U.S.-Mexico border, where she said she used borrowed phones to make two calls and was allegedly pressured to sign self-deportation papers.

House Committee Could Grant Biden Witnesses Immunity to Get Them to Talk

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As key witnesses in the investigation into former President Joe Biden’s mental decline continue to evade U.S. House questioning by invoking their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, lawmakers could grant them immunity to encourage them to talk, according to a legal expert.

Three witnesses close to the former president pleaded the fifth during depositions before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in less than two weeks, with more likely to come.

Committee chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said the witnesses, Annie Tomasini, who served as an assistant to the former president and deputy director of Oval Office Operations, former first lady Jill Biden’s chief of staff, Anthony Bernal, and Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician, have pleaded the Fifth in “a pattern … seeking to shield themselves from criminal liability.”

Attorney and legal scholar John Shu notes that the committee could grant certain congressional witnesses immunity, a common tactic that would require them to testify because they no longer could self-incriminate and be subject to prosecution.

“Both the DOJ and Congress have been known to grant immunity. It would prevent witnesses from asserting the Fifth Amendment, because once you have immunity you can’t be prosecuted,” Shu said. (Read more from “House Committee Could Grant Biden Witnesses Immunity to Get Them to Talk” HERE)

Trump Posts AI-Generated Video Showing Obama Getting Arrested to ‘YMCA’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video of former President Barack Obama being arrested on Sunday, a nod to recent claims made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

In the Truth Social post, Trump shared a TikTok video of various Democrats, including Obama, saying that “No one is above the law.”

Later in the 45-second AI-generated video, Trump and Obama are seen sitting in the Oval Office before Obama is arrested by agents as the song “YMCA” plays.

The AI-generated version of Trump grins as Obama is apprehended and eventually thrown in a jail cell. The AI-generated Obama is also seen wearing an orange jumpsuit behind bars.

The video surfaced amid allegations from Gabbard that Obama and his intel chiefs manufactured the Russia collusion narrative. (Read more from “Trump Posts AI-Generated Video Showing Obama Getting Arrested to ‘YMCA’” HERE)

Tulsi Gabbard Reveals ‘Historic’ Intelligence Plot Allegedly Targeting President Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released declassified documents on Friday, claiming the existence of a secret conspiracy led by the Obama administration to undermine President Donald Trump with the Trump-Russian Collusion hoax, according to Fox News.

“The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic,” Gabbard said on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President [Barack] Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic,” she continued.

The released documents show that before the 2016 election, Russia had shown no intent of meddling with the voting system. Yet, members of the intelligence community would later conspire to accuse President Vladimir Putin of directly interfering with the election to help Trump win.

“Creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to try to ‘hack the United States election,’” Gabbard continued. “So the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people.”

The evidence also incriminates former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, as well as Obama. Gabbard stated the intent to file the records with the FBI and the Department of Justice with the hope DOJ would criminally prosecute those involved in the hoax.

Tulsi Gabbard Reveals ‘Historic’ Intelligence Plot Allegedly Targeting President Trump

By Fox News. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard detailed “striking” findings from declassified documents released Friday, claiming to showcase “overwhelming evidence” that an Obama-era cabal laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe after the 2016 election. . .

Evidence released by Gabbard’s office implicated then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among others, in addition to the former president.

Gabbard confirmed her intent to send all the uncovered documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI for a criminal referral.

When asked if she expects to see prosecutions, she vowed to do “all that [she] can” to ensure accountability.

“We have whistleblowers, actually, coming forward now after we released these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community at this time who were so disgusted by what happened,” she shared.

UNPRECEDENTED: Ambassador Huckabee Threatens Israel over Its Visa Restrictions on Christian Groups

/4 Comments/in , , /by

In a strongly worded letter to Israeli Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee voiced his dissatisfaction with Israel’s refusal to grant collective entry visas to numerous Christian organizations, according to a report by N12 on Thursday.

Huckabee stated, “It would be unfortunate if we were forced to publicly disclose that Israel is engaging in harassment and displaying a negative stance toward these groups.” He concluded with a pointed warning: “Should this continue, I will have no choice but to consider implementing reciprocal measures against Israeli citizens requesting US visas.”

The letter, one of the most severe ever sent by a US ambassador to an Israeli official, was also forwarded to several high-ranking Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, the N12 report added.

N12 further elaborated on Huckabee’s remarks, where he noted the irony of Israel’s stance against Christian organizations despite the strong US-Israel alliance under President Trump. According to Huckabee, the Israeli Interior Ministry has been independently investigating each evangelical organization, requiring them to submit detailed forms regarding their religious beliefs, activities, and assets in Israel.

As a result, these groups have been denied new visas for religious representatives, pending the investigation’s conclusion, the report noted. (Read more from “Ambassador Huckabee Threatens Israel over Its Visa Restrictions on Christian Groups” HERE)

Unreleased Epstein Files Include Logbooks for Private Island, Records Show

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in February released what was then described as the “first phase of the declassified Epstein files.”

That initial release — which was delivered to a group of prominent right-leaning influencers and journalists — included 341 pages of documents related to the disgraced financier. But 118 pages of those files were duplicative of one another.

The vast majority of those documents were previously made public through the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein’s former associate Ghislaine Maxwell or civil lawsuits, including flight logs from Epstein’s plane, a redacted version of Epstein’s so-called “black book” of contacts and a heavily redacted seven-page list of masseuses.

The only newly-released document in “phase one,” which received little public attention, was a three-page catalog of evidence that appears to be an accounting of evidence seized during the searches of Epstein’s properties in New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands after his arrest in 2019, and a search of his Palm Beach mansion a dozen years earlier.

That little-noticed index offers a roadmap to the remaining trove of records that President Donald Trump’s administration has declined to release, including logs of who potentially visited Epstein’s private island and the records of a wiretap of Maxwell’s phone.
