‘Right Now Is the Most Dangerous Time’: Major Potential Trump Pick Sounds Alarm

Kash Patel, the former Department of Defense chief of staff who is reportedly on President-elect Donald Trump’s short list to be the next director of the FBI, is now sounding the alarm about the current time period before Trump is inaugurated, leaving Joe Biden and the Deep State in charge.

“Right now is, I think in my opinion, the most dangerous time, the sort of lame duck period where the president is not acting in the capability that needs to defend this nation,” Patel told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel.

“And what we need to do is have our leaders of the agencies and departments that were confirmed by the Senate show up and do their job and tell the Senate and the House of Representatives these are our failures, these are our weaknesses, we need help, we need you to respond the in this time of need. And those guys not showing up to the Hill and just deflecting their responsibility shows us how much more danger we’re in,” he continued.

“We know what President Trump’s gonna do, but he’s 54 days away from taking the oath of office. Right now, we need the United States of America to remind those agencies and department leaders that they work for us, and the mandate that President Trump was given was to protect our borders, to make sure CCP fentanyl doesn’t kill our children, to the end the forever wars, to return our hostages, and make sure American global diplomacy is in great hands when President Trump is sent to the to Oval Office on January 20th. And we must respect the will and power of Congress, I cannot stress that enough. (Read more from “‘Right Now Is the Most Dangerous Time’: Major Potential Trump Pick Sounds Alarm” HERE)

Alejandro Mayorkas, Christopher Wray Refuse to Testify Before Senate Committee on Terrorism Threats to U.S.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray refused to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on terrorism threats facing the United States.

Just hours before they were set to testify before the Senate on Thursday, a DHS spokesperson said Mayorkas and Wray would not be attending the hearing which was focused on terrorism threats facing the U.S. — including those arriving at the southern border.

“DHS and the FBI have offered to the Committee a classified briefing to discuss the threats to the Homeland,” the spokesperson said in part.

In response, Ranking Member Rand Paul (R-KY) said Mayorkas and Wray’s refusal to testify is “unacceptable”

“The American people deserve to hold these officials accountable for their actions under the Biden Administration,” Paul said in a statement. (Read more from “Alejandro Mayorkas, Christopher Wray Refuse to Testify Before Senate Committee on Terrorism Threats to U.S.” HERE)

FBI Arrests Man Over Alleged Threat to Slaughter Trump’s Christian Supporters: ‘Conservative Christan Filth’

The FBI has arrested a Michigan man for allegedly threatening to murder conservative Christians if Donald Trump wins the election.

In a press release, the Justice Department said the FBI National Threat Operations Center received “an anonymous online threatening submission” on Nov. 2.

That message promised to attack Christians:

I shall carry out an attack against conservative christan, [sic] filth in the event trump wins the election. I have a stolen ar15 and a target I refuse to name so I can continue to get away with my plans. Without a specific victim or ability to find the place I hid the gun, there’s not a thing the FBI can do until I complete the attack

Officials reportedly traced the message via phone records and an IP address to 25-year-old Isaac Sissel. (Read more from “FBI Arrests Man Over Alleged Threat to Slaughter Trump’s Christian Supporters: ‘Conservative Christan Filth’” HERE)

5 Voting Locations in Georgia Receive Bomb Threats, Voting Suspended

There were bomb threats made at five voting locations in Georgia, according to local authorities. Because of the bomb threats, voting was suspended.

The official website of DeKalb County released a statement regarding the seven bomb threats, including seven made in five voting precincts on Election Day. . .

County officials noted that two other locations received bomb threats: the Salem Panola Library at 5137 Salem Road in Lithonia and the Old Sam’s Club in Stonecrest — which is not an active polling location. . .

Voting was suspended at the locations targeted by the multiple bomb threats.

“Rest assured that we are working quickly to ensure every voter will have an opportunity to cast their ballot despite these bomb threats,” said DeKalb Voter Registration and Elections Executive Director Keisha Smith. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are suspending voting at these polling locations until we have clearance from DeKalb Police to reopen the facilities.” (Read more from “5 Voting Locations in Georgia Receive Bomb Threats, Voting Suspended” HERE)

Dems, Corporate Media Rushed To Cite FBI Data Showing Crime Decrease — Experts Say the Numbers Are Flawed

The FBI quietly revised its 2022 data to reflect an increase in crime after initially reporting it had decreased, and experts say that the flawed figures are just the tip of the iceberg.

It was initially reported that violent crime decreased by 2.1% in 2022, but the Bureau suddenly revised that figure, revealing that violent crime increased by 4.5% instead. Experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the FBI’s metrics are plagued with problems, such as incomplete data collection, confusion about reporting standards, the omission of unreported crime as well as the inherent problems of measuring crime nationally.

Democrats, corporate media outlets and political pundits have routinely cited the FBI’s data to claim that crime has gone down under President Joe Biden, most recently touting newly-released figures for 2023, which show a 3% drop in violent crime that year. However, the sudden reversal in the 2022 data raises more questions about whether a clear picture can be ascertained about crime across the nation.

The agency’s criteria for a reported crime does not necessarily include all 911 calls, which artificially depresses the number of crimes reflected in the national data in certain cases, Crime Prevention Research Center Director John Lott told the DCNF.

“In order for the FBI to count it, a police report has to be filled out,” Lott said. “Over the last few years, we have a situation where if you call a 911 operator and you say it’s not an emergency, or that the criminal has gone away, you’d have to go down to the police station to fill out a police report.” (Read more from “Dems, Corporate Media Rushed To Cite FBI Data Showing Crime Decrease — Experts Say the Numbers Are Flawed” HERE)

How the FBI Is Willing to Risk Your Safety to Get Kamala Elected

Shortly after the two ABC moderators entered the presidential debate on the side of Kamala Harris, there was a brief moment when Donald Trump pushed back. It happened when David Muir finished one of his drive-by “fact-checks,” concerning the crime rate in this country. The moderator intended to immediately ask Kamala Harris a question, so that Trump couldn’t respond. But Trump did respond, and the moderator had no answer to what he said. Watch:

If you’re going to debate a candidate, when you’re really supposed to be the moderator, then you should at least be able to debate. But Muir had no answer when Trump refuted his canned talking point about FBI data. He sheepishly had to pivot to Kamala, who started laughing awkwardly. . .

This summer, when the FBI released its Quarterly Uniform Crime Report showing that crime was down, they didn’t include data from New York or Los Angeles. The NYPD and LAPD are the two biggest police forces in the entire country, but they didn’t report their data at all, apparently because they couldn’t comply with the FBI’s new data-tracking requirements in time. And that wasn’t particularly unusual. Back in 2022, roughly one-third of the country’s 6,000 police agencies didn’t report crime data to the FBI. This isn’t some partisan point I’m making. The FBI admitted all of this.

Yesterday, though, the FBI released its latest updated annual report. And the agency claims that this time around, the report comprehensively documents violent crimes that occurred in 2023 because the data comes from law enforcement agencies that cover more than 95% of the country’s population — including the NYPD and LAPD. According to the new data, car thefts went up by around 20% from 2022 to 2023. So that’s a massive increase. But violent crime was supposedly down overall by 3%, while “murder and non-negligent homicide” were down more than 10%. Reported rapes were down nearly 10% as well, and property crimes dropped 2.5%.

FBI Agent Admits Stealing Silver Bars During Raid on Jan. 6 Defendant

An FBI agent has pleaded guilty to stealing from targets during raids and arrests, including from a man who was part of the mob that invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Nicholas Anthony Williams, who worked out of the FBI’s Houston office but is no longer with the bureau, admitted Monday to four thefts while serving search warrants.

One of those was a July 13, 2023, raid on the home of Alexander Fan, a member of Asians for Trump who breached the Capitol as part of the protest against the Electoral College count that confirmed President Biden’s win. . .

He also stole $1,200 during a raid on another residence on Dec. 16, 2020; got $4,145 from a raid on March 15, 2022; and pocketed $1,574 from a raid on Jan. 12, 2023. The theft from Fan is the last one he admitted to and, according to court documents, appears to have led to the agent’s downfall.

He also admitted to using his FBI-issued credit card to buy three cell phones, which he pawned. He spent $899.97 in taxpayers’ money and collected just $105 from the pawn shop. (Read more from “FBI Agent Admits Stealing Silver Bars During Raid on Jan. 6 Defendant” HERE)

Frustration Over Transgender ‘Acceptance’ Allegedly Fueled Georgia Shooting: Report

CNN reported that the FBI had found evidence linked to the alleged Apalachee High School shooter that could explain his motivation.

The report cited documents claiming that a Discord account was identified last year by the FBI as belonging to Colt Gray. According to CNN’s summary of the posts, the account owner said that he was planning an attack on an elementary school and expressed “frustration with the acceptance of transgender people.” . . .

The Discord user also reportedly posted photographs of firearms and stated, “im committing a mass shooting and im waiting a good 2-3 years [sic].”

Another post allegedly read, “I cant kill myself yet, cause I’m not contributing anything to culture I need to go out knowing I did [sic].”

The FBI referred the tip about the account to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, but deputies closed their investigation after concluding that the Discord user making the threats “could not be substantiated.” (Read more from “Frustration Over Transgender ‘Acceptance’ Allegedly Fueled Georgia Shooting: Report” HERE)

Desperate Democrats Are Pushing Yet Another Version of the Russia Collusion Hoax

The Biden administration’s announcement this week that the Justice Department is taking action against alleged Kremlin-run websites and Russian state media employees as part of an effort to crack down on Russian “misinformation” ahead of the election should raise red flags — huge, obvious red flags.

The biggest red flag is the timing of the indictment and accompanying announcement, just as mail-in ballots in some states are sent out and two weeks before in-person voting begins in some states. The only possible reason for the DOJ to announce this now, and to frame it as a Russian election meddling scheme designed to boost former President Donald Trump, is to paint Trump and his supporters as agents of a hostile foreign power, or at the very least to imply that Trump’s support is fake, paid for by Moscow.

In other words, the timing of the indictment itself represents an egregious form of election meddling by our own Justice Department, whose longstanding policy is not to file indictments that could potentially influence an election. Yet that’s the entire purpose of the indictment announced this week.

We’ve seen this playbook before from Democrats. Hand-waving about “Russian disinformation” and “election interference” by the DOJ and the U.S. intelligence community is of course a well-worn election interference tactic — and arguably a far more potent than anything that’s ever come from Moscow.

First it was the outlandish claim in 2016 that Donald Trump was actually a secret Russian agent and that he colluded with Moscow to win the White House. An entire FBI investigation was based on the discredited and patently ridiculous Steele dossier. The initial election meddling allegation was based on nothing more than $100,000 or so in Facebook ads purchased by Russian entities with the aim of sowing division among the American electorate. And from that thin reed, an entire narrative emerged that Russia not only meddled in our election but that Trump colluded with Moscow in the effort.

Alleged School Shooter Was on FBI’s Radar for Over a Year

Colt Gray, the teen suspected of gunning down four people at a Georgia high school Wednesday, has been on the FBI’s radar since last year — when he was investigated by local authorities in connection to online school shooting threats, the bureau revealed.

In May 2023, the FBI received several anonymous tips about threats to carry out violence at an unidentified school, with the harrowing posts including photos of guns, according to a Wednesday night statement from the bureau’s Atlanta field office.

The Jackson County Sheriffs’ Office identified Gray, then 13, as a possible suspect and interviewed him and his father.

Gray’s dad told investigators at the time that he had hunting guns in the house — but his son didn’t have unsupervised access to them, according to the statement . .

There was no probable cause to take any further action, however local schools were alerted “for continued monitoring” of Gray, per the statement.
