‘Twice as Contagious’ Delta Variant Emerged In India Less Than a Month After Pfizer Announced COVID-Related Monkey Research—Pfizer HQ’d in Mumbai

  • Undercover video released Wednesday by Project Veritas shows Pfizer executive Dr. Jordon Walker—a medical doctor who graduated from Yale and UT Southwestern—claiming that his company was exploring ways to “mutate” coronavirus via “directed evolution.”
  • Dr. Walker revealed Pfizer scientists were “optimizing” the virus’ mutation process by putting “the virus in monkeys” and worried about potential outbreaks.
  • Pfizer announced back in September 2020 that it was conducting COVID-19-related studies with macaque monkeys.
  • Less than a month later, the Delta variant of the virus was discovered in India, where Pfizer has been operating since 1950 (Mumbai).
  • The Delta variant is “twice as contagious” as initial COVID variants and more likely to “put infected people in the hospital.”
  • Delta was first discovered in Maharashtra, India, the state in which Mumbai is located.

A new video released by Project Veritas on Wednesday showed Pfizer Inc. executive Dr. Jordon Trishton Walker claiming that his company had been exploring ways to “mutate” the coronavirus via “directed evolution.” He revealed that Pfizer scientists had been “optimizing” the virus’ mutation process by putting “the virus in monkeys” and worried about potential outbreaks.

Dr. Walker graduated from Yale and the University of Texas Southwestern medical school, according to Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe.

“We can do these selected structure mutations to make [coronaviruses] more potent,” the Pfizer executive said. “There is research ongoing about that. I don’t know how that is going to work. There better not be any more outbreaks because Jesus Christ.”

Pfizer announced it was conducting COVID-19-related studies with macaque monkeys in a press release published on September 9, 2020. And the first case of Delta, a variant of SARS-CoV-2, was discovered in India—where Pfizer has been operating for over half a century—on October 5, 2020, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), less than a month after Pfizer announced its COVID-related monkey research.

Pfizer has worked in India since 1950, its operations comprising “three manufacturing plants, two R&D centers and six regional centers for commercial operations and global support functions,” according to the company webpage. The pharmaceutical company represents “the fourth largest multinational pharmaceutical company in India.” Its headquarters are located in densely populated Mumbai, India’s largest city, on the country’s west coast.

The Delta variant was first discovered in Maharashtra, India, the state where Mumbai is located.

“B.1.617.2, a variant of Covid-19 is known as the Delta variant. It was first identified in October 2020 in India, and was primarily responsible for the second wave in the country, today accounting for over 80 percent of new Covid-19 cases,” said Dr. NK Arora, co-chair of the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG), according to The Hindustan Times. “It emerged in Maharashtra and traveled northwards along the western states of the country before entering the central and the eastern states.”

The Delta variant was determined to be “twice as contagious” as initial COVID variants and more likely to “put infected people in the hospital,” an outcome echoing what Pfizer’s Dr. Walker admitted about his company mutating and optimizing coronavirus to be “more potent.” Yale Medicine says Delta was “more than twice as contagious as previous variants” and that “studies have shown it to be more likely than the original virus to put infected people in the hospital.”

“Does this undercover video mean that Pfizer has been using macaque monkeys in directed man-made mutagenic experiments?” asked Dr. Richard Bartlett, a 30-year medical practitioner and former appointee to then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s Health Disparities Task Force. “I also think it’s interesting that Pfizer has been in India since 1950 and that the first significant COVID variant, the Delta variant, appeared in India.”

“Dr. Walker has been working on the inside at Pfizer for a long time. Do his statements connect the dots between rapidly appearing mutations and a pharmaceutical company that is not only conducting directed mutations research but also providing the solution of a vaccine?”

Since at least 2019, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has invested tens of millions of dollars in COVID-related research involving macaques.

‘We Believe in the Christian Civilizational Foundations of Europe’: Hungary’s Orbán

“We see a growing demand for church institutions,” said Orbán.

QUICK FACTS:
  • Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Monday warned that Europe and Hungary have entered an “era of dangers,” after taking his fifth oath as prime minister in parliament.
  • Orbán spotlighted the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the economy, as well as what he called the “cultural alienation [that] is growing between the western half of Europe and Hungary.”
  • Hungary’s Prime Minister said such cultural alienation between the two regions hs been brought about because his nation “believe[s] in the Christian civilizational foundations of Europe, and in the nation,” which other nations had “given up.”
  • “Everything that has happened since 2020 points in one direction: Europe and the Hungarian people in it have entered an age of danger. The decade began with the coronavirus epidemic and continued with the war. The sanctions from the war brought an economic downturn,” Orbán said. “The war and sanctions policy caused an energy crisis, and U.S. interest rate hikes brought an age of inflation.”
  • Orbán also highlighted the dangers of unmitigated immigration policy and its implications for the Christian population, saying, “All of this will bring the age of economic downturn, threatening epidemics may recur, migration may deepen and may intensify.” “Such is the program of the great European population exchange, the essence of which is to replace the missing Christian children with migrants,” Orbán went on to say. “Such an experiment is a program of gender madness and a liberal Europe that transcends nation-states and Christianity, and puts nothing in their place.”
ORBÁN SEES PATH TO SUCCESS:
  • The Hungarian Prime Minister was hopeful that Hungary could fend off Christianity’s decline by supporting churches. “It is a difficult task, but we can succeed. We can succeed because the Hungarians were carved out of hard wood, so we stubbornly resist the decline,” he said.
  • “We will provide the conditions for preaching the gospel. We see a growing demand for church institutions, and helping them will be important,” stated Orbán.
  • “Hungarians across the border can count on us, we will continue our work of national unification.”
ORBÁN SWIPES AT GEORGE SOROS:

“I shall strive to be worthy of this enormous trust, which is unprecedented in the whole of Europe,” said Orbán. “It is food for thought that we have won by the largest margin ever, at a time when all human reasoning suggested that we were also competing on the most difficult terrain. The Hungarian left and their international allies, politicians, financiers and the media all rallied against us. Let us make it clear: Brussels and George Soros were also playing to ensure our downfall. They threatened us however they could. No wonder this victory fills us with electrifying energy. My friends, there is nothing so exhilarating as to be shot at without result. We have won four times in a row, despite financial crises, a global pandemic, floods of migrants, and even a war that was – and is – threatening our country. Such a winning streak is unusual in Europe, and even in the wider Western world; and the scale of the victory is unprecedented.”

BACKGROUND:
  • Orbán was reelected as premier in the 199-seat assembly by 133 votes to 27 against.
  • The prime minister has been pursuing close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he would not support banning his country’s oil imports from Russia as the European Union has proposed. While speaking on state radio on May 6, Orbán said that such an embargo would drop an “atomic bomb” on Hungary’s economy.

Levi Strauss Exec Says She Was Forced Out Over Her Views on COVID School Closures

Levi’s brand president said she was let go from the company over her stance on school closures due to COVID.

QUICK FACTS:
  • Longtime Levi Strauss & Co brand president Jennifer Sey wrote a post Monday explaining how the company forced her to leave over her opinions on COVID restrictions in schools.
  • “Early on in the pandemic, I publicly questioned whether schools had to be shut down,” Sey said. “This didn’t seem at all controversial to me. I felt — and still do — that the draconian policies would cause the most harm to those least at risk, and the burden would fall heaviest on disadvantaged kids in public schools, who need the safety and routine of school the most.”
  • Sey explained that the head of corporate communications called her in the Summer of 2020, urging her to stop speaking publicly and sharing her own personal opinions.
  • In recent weeks, Sey got the news from Levi’s CEO Charles Bergh that it was “untenable” for her to continue working for the popular clothing company, offering her a $1 million severance package, Fox Business reported.
SEY ON LEVI STRAUSS TODAY:

“I love Levi’s and its place in the American heritage as a purveyor of sturdy pants for hardworking, daring people who moved West and dreamed of gold buried in the dirt,” she said. “But the corporation doesn’t believe in that now. It’s trapped trying to please the mob — and silencing any dissent within the organization.”

BACKGROUND:
  • While stock prices doubled under her leadership, Sey was told she would not become the next CEO unless she stopped talking publicly, and shortly after, left the company without accepting the severance.
  • “In the end, no one stood with me. Not one person publicly said they agreed with me, or even that they didn’t agree with me, but supported my right to say what I believe anyway,” Sey said.
  • The culture of Levi’s has made it impossible for employees to have a voice without getting terminated, according to the former president.
  • “I like to think that many of my now-former colleagues know that this is wrong. I like to think that they stayed silent because they feared losing their standing at work or incurring the wrath of the mob,” Sey stated. “I hope, in time, they’ll acknowledge as much.”

Fmr. Ambassador: China Using One Belt One Road Initiative In Africa To Spread Authoritarianism Globally

A top diplomat under President Trump has sounded the alarm on China’s pursuit for global dominance. On Friday, former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Freedom Sam Brownback warned China is using its One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative in Africa to leverage its economic power in order to phase America out of the international stage. Brownback added U.S. lawmakers need to move fast to secure America’s position as top superpower.

China began pumping billions of dollars into Africa’s infrastructure beginning as early as the year 2000, before the Chinese Communist Party head, Xi Jingping, officially announced the initiative in 2013. The program aimed to bolster China’s relationships with several countries including Ethiopia, South Africa, Nigeria, Rwanda and Kenya.

Additionally, the CCP’s funds helped develop infrastructure projects such as transportation networks, port facilities and telecommunications infrastructure.

“They want that model of authoritarian control to expand around the world and they’re playing big in Africa. That hurts us if you get more countries going to this authoritarian model,” said Brownback. “Plus, there’s just the raw resource issue that China has been after for decades now in Africa, tying up these raw resources for their global economic dominance that they seek.”

Chinese leaders touted the One Belt One Road initiative as a path towards establishing strong economic partnerships. However, Brownback argued China aims to exploit the region’s natural resources and lay down its authoritarian roots in the region, hoping to spread its influence throughout the world.

Experts have suggested the initiative has lost traction amid commodity prices plaguing African countries’ economies before the pandemic, and the near total halt of economic activity once COVID-19 struck their communities. Researchers say this is hindering African leaders’ abilities to pay off their debts to China.

Studies have predicted this could buy time for other superpowers to undermine China’s influence. Brownback stressed America needs to take steps to challenge China’s role in the region and promote religious, economic and personal freedom in Africa.

In the meantime, the former ambassador said he believes the American public will welcome this approach, as long as policy makers promote these ideals without acting as state builders.

Calling Natural Law ‘White Nationalism’ Is Racist, Period

Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley either doesn’t know what natural law is or he’s espousing fundamentally racist ideas. There’s no middle ground.

A little dust-up on Twitter this week revealed something important about the ongoing debate over critical race theory and public education, and also the state of elite academia — namely, that much of what the left calls “anti-racism” is actually just regular old racism, shoddily repackaged.

Here’s what happened. An innocuous comment from Washington Examiner columnist Tim Carney, suggesting we need to teach natural law in public schools, prompted Matthew J. Peterson to reply that it’s not enough to ban critical race theory, we need to replace it with natural law. This in turn inspired Yale University philosophy professor Jason Stanley to aver (in a since-deleted tweet) that natural law is “a dogwhistle to white Christian Nationalism.”

Boy, that escalated quickly. And it didn’t stop there. The back-and-forth unleashed a string of outraged tweets about natural law, mostly from people who don’t seem to know what natural law is, confusing it for social Darwinism or some such. Stanley got some pushback for his gross mischaracterization of natural law and then complained, disingenuously, about “intentional misrepresentation” (later claiming his tweet was meant to be sarcastic) before logging off Twitter, saying, “This was a failure.”

Indeed it was, but the failure is deeper than professor Stanley is likely to admit. He wrote a book about fascism and teaches in the philosophy department of an Ivy League university, so he should know that natural law has nothing to do with white Christian nationalism. He should also know that suggesting, as Peterson did, that an education grounded in natural law is infinitely superior to one grounded is critical race theory isn’t some kind of racist dogwhistle.

Indeed, he should know that natural law stands in stark opposition to racism of any kind, because it posits that all human beings, regardless of their race or any other characteristic, have inherent rights, which can be discovered and applied through reason. Those rights arise from the fact of their humanity, not their race or religion.

As such, natural law is an antidote to racism and its various ideological offspring like white nationalism, not a cause of it. As Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas once said, “Those who deny natural law cannot get me out of slavery.”

Moreover, as a Yale philosophy professor Stanley should also know that natural law came largely from Aristotle, was later developed by Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas, and eventually became the basis for things like social contract theory, the rule of law, and representative government, culminating in our Declaration of Independence. He might even know that one of the foremost proponents of natural law today is Francis Arinze, a Nigerian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. If natural law has anything to do with white Christian nationalism, no one has apparently told Cardinal Arinze.

Maybe Stanley does know all this, but thinks only Ivy League professors like himself are smart enough to talk about natural law. If anyone else, especially a conservative, invokes it, it could only be to incite the unwashed masses with a racist dogwhistle. Surely, the only thing common folk must know about natural law is that it has something to do with western civilization, and is therefore racist.

Or maybe Stanley rejects the claims of natural law. Maybe he thinks that a philosophy or a system of laws and governance based on the notion that all people are created equal and are endowed by their creator with unalienable rights is in fact a great evil, and that people should be treated differently based on their race or sex or some other characteristic.

Believing all that would be a problem for Stanley because it’s racist — not opaquely or subtly, but straightforwardly so. I don’t know whether Stanley is, in his heart of hearts, a racist. Probably not. But his tweets about natural law, and the sentiments behind them, unequivocally are.

FBI Asks Americans To Spy on Family, Friends to Prevent ‘Extremism’

The FBI is encouraging Americans to look for indications of “homegrown violent extremism” in their own families and report them.

The FBI is turning its monitoring capabilities on ordinary Americans, prompting the demand for snitches.

“Family members and peers are often best positioned to witness signs of mobilization to violence,” reads a tweet posted on Sunday from the FBI. In order to help prevent “homegrown violent extremism,” the agency advises Americans “to learn how to spot suspicious behaviors and report them to the FBI” by visiting its website.

A link provided by the FBI brings users to a PDF document titled, “Homegrown Violent Extremist Mobilization Indicators.” The document outlines a list of 46 “observable behaviors” that could help determine whether friends or family members “are preparing to engage in violent extremist activities.”

The top three indicators listed are:

  • “Preparing and disseminating a martyrdom video/statement, last will”
  • “Seeking religious or political justification for a planned violent act”
  • “Attempting to mobilize others to violence, especially family members and peers.”

Moreover, the document at one point seems to blur the line between a citizen’s “constitutionally protected rights” and “mobilizing to violence.”

“Law enforcement action should not be taken solely based on the exercise of constitutionally protected rights, or on the apparent or actual race, ethnicity, national origin or religion of the subject, or on any combination of these factors. Individuals are encouraged to contact law enforcement if, based on these indicators and the situational context, they suspect an individual is mobilizing to violence,” the document reads.

The Orwellian nature of the FBI document prompted Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) to tweet that “In both Cuba & China, they also ask children to spy on their parents….”

As pointed out by RT News, the indicators and imagery used in the document suggest that its focus is to combat radical Islamic terrorism. But the FBI, along with the rest of the U.S. security apparatus, has turned its surveillance powers on specifically white, conservative America in recent months.

For example, since the unrest on Capitol Hill in January, FBI Director Christopher Wray has testified before Congress that the anti-government sentiment responsible for the trouble had been “metastasizing” in the U.S. for years. Wray insisted that “the problem of domestic terrorism … is not going away anytime soon.” And former Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi last month even called for the arrest of high-level Republicans in order to “really tackle terrorism, this time domestically.”

Moreover, Joe Biden has connected the Capitol mob to “white supremacism,” which he called “the most lethal terrorist threat to our homeland today” during his first speech to Congress in April. Against this supposed “threat,” the Department of Justice has requested new powers of prosecution, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has asserted that right-wingers and conservatives, “inspired by foreign terrorist groups” and “emboldened by the breach of the U.S. Capitol Building,” are “plotting attacks against government facilities” and “threatening violence against critical infrastructure.”

Other indicators of extremism listed on the FBI document include: encouraging or advocating violence toward individuals, military or government officials, law enforcement, or civilian targets; unusual purchase of military-style tactical equipment other than weapons (such as personal protective equipment, body armor); dehumanizing people who are not in the identity group; and researching or discussing ways to evade law enforcement and lying to law enforcement officers/obstructing investigations.

Former Acting Director of National Intelligence for the Trump administration Richard Grenell also took to Twitter to ask “Why hasn’t the @fbi made more progress finding the BLM rioters from last summer?”

And others pointed out that real “homegrown” extremists such as those belonging to Antifa or preaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) are being ignored:

The FBI’s tweet comes after Facebook encouraged similarly draconian spy tactics on its platform.

Pentagon Warns of ‘Increased Potential’ for Nuclear War: ‘An Unprecedented Range and Mix of Threats’

Newly released report from the U.S. Department of Defense says Russia and China’s newly expanded nuclear weapons arsenals and tactics have “increased potential for regional conflicts involving nuclear-armed adversaries in several parts of the world and the potential for adversary nuclear escalation in crisis or conflict.”

The Pentagon released a 67-page report titled “Joint Nuclear Operations.” It offers “fundamental principles and guidance to plan, execute, and assess nuclear operations.”

Download the “Joint Nuclear Operations” document here:Download
Cover of “Joint Nuclear Operations”

The report was released to the Federation of American Scientists last week in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, though it was originally completed in April 2020.

The introduction to the first chapter asserts that—at a time when the U.S. is working to “reduce [its own] number and salience of nuclear weapons”—China and Russia specifically have become more aggressive in developing their nuclear weapons capabilities.

“They have added new types of nuclear capabilities to their arsenal, increased the salience of nuclear forces in their strategies and plans, and engaged in increasingly aggressive behavior,” the report says. “There now exists an unprecedented range and mix of threats, including major conventional, chemical, biological, nuclear, space, and cyber threats and violent non-state actors.”

The report goes on to emphasize how our “adversar[ies]” show no signs of cutting back development of their nuclear capabilities.

“[N]o potential adversary has reduced either the role of nuclear weapons in its national security strategy or the number of nuclear weapons it fields. Rather, they have moved decidedly in the opposite direction,” the report warns.

“As a result,” it continues, “there is an increased potential for regional conflicts involving nuclear-armed adversaries in several parts of the world and the potential for adversary nuclear escalation in crisis or conflict.”

The document, prepared by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, goes on to list specific technologies and policies being pursued by Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, for example, which it maintains are pressing toward an “increased potential” for nuclear conflict to occur. It states:

In addition to modernizing ” legacy” Soviet nuclear systems, Russia is developing and employing new nuclear warheads and launchers. It is also developing three new intercontinental-range nuclear weapon systems; a hypersonic glide vehicle; a nuclear-armed, nuclear-powered ground-launched cruise missile; and a nuclear-armed, nuclear-powered, undersea autonomous torpedo.

…

China has developed a new road-mobile, strategic, intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM); a new multi-warhead version of its DF-5 silo-based ICBM; and its most advanced ballistic missile submarine armed with new submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). It has also announced development of a new nuclear-capable strategic bomber, giving China a nuclear triad.

…

In the past few years, North Korea has dramatically increased its missile flight testing, most recently including the testing of intercontinental-range missiles capable of reaching the US homeland.

…

Iran retains the technological capability and much of the capacity necessary to develop a nuclear weapon within one year of a decision to do so. Iran’s development of increasingly long-range ballistic missile capabilities, and its aggressive strategy and activities to destabilize neighboring governments, raises questions about its long-term commitment to forgoing nuclear weapons capability.

American Faith has reported on remarks from Japan’s number two defense official warning about China and Russia’s apparent plans to launch a “Pearl Harbor” style attack against the U.S., as well as Chinese President Xi Jinping’s increasingly violent rhetoric.

Voddie Baucham Discusses How Christians Should Deal With CRT In The Context Of Faith

Voddie Baucham discussed his book “Fault Lines” with Shaun Tabatt at the 2021 NRB in Dallas for the Shaun Tabatt Show, an interview program that links Christians to thinkers worldwide.

Baucham spoke on the roots of critical theory and how Christians may productively participate in the debate.

Two of Baucham’s major arguments in his book were the notion that disadvantaged minorities have privileged access to the truth that other people don’t; and the premise that white people are incapable of righteous actions in the area of race unless their interests coincide with those of people who are different races than themselves.

For Christians who are wondering how they might be a part of these discussions in a manner that is constructive, Baucham referred to a principle in 2 Corinthians 10:4 that says that arguments and lofty views made against the knowledge of God should be destroyed.

“We’ve got to understand what these things are. We got to identify them, and we’ve got to destroy them.,” he said. “The second thing is we take every thought captive to obey Christ, so our thoughts about race, our thoughts about ethnicity, our thoughts about sexuality, our thoughts about reconciliation, thoughts about history, all of those things have to be taken captive to obey Christ.”

He went on to add that one thing he tries to do is to give individuals the tools they need to understand, evaluate and discuss ideas intelligently. He said that Christians must educate themselves while adhering to the “wise as serpents and innocent as doves” principle.

“Ultimately we have to recognize that these things are at war with us, and we’ve got to fight,” he warned of the scandals and contentious topics that have engulfed the country.

The Gospel and CRT

With so many famous church leaders jumping on the race bandwagon, Baucham wonders when the gospel became inadequate in dealing with certain cultural issues. He contends that it’s blasphemy to assume that the Scriptures and the Gospel are insufficient, and that people need critical race theory in order to understand rationally the relationships between groups of people.

The author of the “Fault Lines” emphasized that the CRT works like a religion because of the worldview they’re promoting as an answer to key issues about identity that deviate from the Christian narrative of “creation,” “fall,” “redemption,” and “consummation.”

As an example, Baucham cited the United States as a country where the “oppressor-oppressed” paradigm has been emphasized. He also said that CRT has its own “cosmology, saints, martyrs, and priesthood,” which he referred to as “ethnic gnosticism.”

Baucham continued by stating that he has come across people who frame the discussion in terms of a “balanced view,” which he defined as incorporating at the very least the premise of critical race theory while using the word gospel. He disputed this and said that he finds it amusing that those, like himself and Owen, who approach the issue from a biblical standpoint are assumed to be unbalanced from a people’s standpoint.

Communism Survivor Speaks Out Against Critical Race Theory

Lindell Says Trump ‘Will Be Back’ In The White House By ‘August’: MyPillow CEO’s New Election Fraud Evidence

“Things are going great. I couldn’t be happier—the way things are going in our country right now,” said Lindell.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell told Alex Jones in an interview this week that he has enough proof of election fraud having taken place during the 2020 U.S. presidential election to put Donald Trump “back” in office.

“Like I said before: Our President will be back. I said August—I could be off by a month or two,” Lindell told Jones.

Jones suggested that Joe Biden is a “Chinese agent” and that Trump is “our real President” before praising Lindell for “quarterbacking the resistance” and pointing to cryptic words recently spoken by Trump.

“I believe in you,” Jones told Lindell, “And I know you’ve been behind the scenes. I’ve talked to a lot of folks you’ve been working with.” Jones added that Trump himself believes the White House will be his again “sooner than you think.” “[Trump] believes when the evidence comes out, there’s a strategy,” said Jones.

Lindell said the “strategy” is to take his evidence to the Supreme Court, which according to Lindell will vote unanimously “9-0” to reverse the 2020 election result.

“When the Supreme Court looks at this, it’s not subjective evidence. So it’s going to be 9-0. Not 8-1, 7-2. It has to be 9-0 because this isn’t subjective evidence. So they’re going to pull [the election] down,” lindell said to Jones.

Earlier this week, American Faith covered Mike Lindell’s interview with a cybersecurity expert who explained how “PCAP” computer data received by Lindell on Jan 9 allegedly proves that China “attack[ed] our country” by flipping millions of votes from Biden to Trump.

Trump ‘Insurrection’ Myth Debunked by Bipartisan Senate Committee Review

A months-long, bipartisan Senate investigation report debunks the Jan 6 “insurrection” myth and Donald Trump’s connection to it.

“Whatever legal or constitutional test you apply, Trump incited the violent Capitol attack,” proclaimed a Feb 2021 USA Today headline. Its byline: “What’s at stake is a president’s freedom to incite a violent attack on his own government.”

The month prior, and five days after the Jan. 6 Capitol unrest, a Washington Post opinion piece rested blame for the “invasion” of the United States Capitol Building squarely on the shoulders of President Trump. “As I watched the despicable display by those who invaded the Capitol at the behest of the president, I was moved to tears and consumed with anger,” lamented the WaPo author. “I strongly urge Congress to impeach, convict and remove the president from office.”

Not to be outdone in the use of anti-Trump histrionics, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused the 45th President of being “an accessory” to murder. “The crime, in some cases [regarding the Capitol unrest], was murder,” Pelosi stated in an interview with MSNBC. “This president is an accessory to that crime because he instigated that insurrection that caused those deaths and this destruction.”

Watch Pelosi’s interview:

But a new Senate report has been compiled by the Senate Homeland Security and Rules committee. The 99-page document—titled Examining the U.S. Capitol Attack: A Review of the Security, Planning, and Response Failures on January 6—was spearheaded equally by Democrats and Republicans: U.S. Senators Gary Peters (D-MI) and Rob Portman (R-OH), Chairman and Ranking Member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Roy Blunt (R-MO), Chairwoman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Rules and Administration.

Here’s the full report.

The report was thorough. In its own words, it focused on “the security, planning, and response failures related to the violent and unprecedented attack on January 6th” and included “a series of recommendations for the Capitol Police Board, United States Capitol Police (USCP), federal intelligence agencies, the Department of Defense (DOD), and other Capital region law enforcement agencies.” If anything could show that President Trump “incited an insurrection,” it’s this Senate investigation.

But did the report reveal that President Donald Trump “incited the violent Capitol attack”? Or that he led “a violent attack on his own government”? That an “invasion” occurred “at the behest of the president”? Or that Trump was “an accessory” to murder?

Not even a little bit.

To begin with, even far-left CNN admits the Senate report fully “omits Trump’s role” on Jan 6. In other words, CNN admits the report hardly even mentions Trump, let alone connect him to any violence or instigation thereof.

You can practically see the big red vein popping out of these CNN writers’ collective forehead (the article was co-authored). Look:

“There are also several glaring omissions in the report including any examination of Donald Trump’s role in the riots,” moans CNN, “raising questions about whether lawmakers, in their quest for bipartisanship, exposed the limits of a Congress divided and unable to agree on certain truths, particularly those related to the former President’s actions.”

Not only does CNN admit the Senate reported no malfesance on the part of President Trump, but they also acknowledge the exhaustive nature of the Senate’s investigation. They say the Senate analysis “marks the most comprehensive government report” regarding security failures leading up to Jan 6. See here:

“Congressional investigators pored through ‘thousands of documents,'” tallies CNN, “received written statements from 50 police officers who defended the Capitol, and got testimony from a wide array of current and former officials who played a role in the security preparations and response. … [T]he evidence and interviews were gathered over months from bipartisan staff and members on two committees.”

Thousands of documents. Written statements. Official testimony. Gathered for months. By Republicans and Democrats. And none of it pushes the myth that President Trump “incited an insurrection.”

Most importantly, however, and as CNN also admits, the language of the Senate report completely excludes the word “insurrection” outside of witness quotes and footnotes, a fact both Democrat committee members as well as their Republican counterparts were pleased with. “The language that was chosen was purposeful—and represents the consensus of the four members and their respective staffs,” a Senate committee aide said, according to CNN. “We did our very best to stick to the facts as we understood them and leave characterizations in quotes where there were characterizations.”

There was no “insurrection.” Trump didn’t “incite” anything. So says the official Senate report compiled by the Senate Homeland Security and Rules committee.

In fact, we all know that in reality, President Trump instructed the crowd not to do anything violent, but to, in his words, “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Here’s the video evidence:

And after learning about the unrest, President Trump immediately also instructed the crowd to “go home now,” adding “We have to have peace. We have to have law and order”:

If anyone’s guilty of inciting violence, it ain’t Trump. It’s the Left:

COVID ‘Was Developed In a Lab’: World-Renowned Scientist and Berkeley Prof

MIT postdoctoral fellow with over 10,000 citations and an Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of California Berkeley say the hypothesis that COVID was engineered in a laboratory is “firmly based in science.”

The “rare and unnatural combination” genetic sequence found in the COVID-19 virus provides “damning” evidence that “the leading theory for the origin of the coronavirus must be laboratory escape,” according to Dr. Steven Quay and Professor Richard Muller.

Steven Quay (MD, PhD)—trained as a postdoctoral fellow in the Chemistry Department at MIT (Massachusettes Institute of Technology)—has over 360 published contributions to medicine and has been cited over 10,000 times, placing him in the top 1% of scientists worldwide, according to PR Newswire. He holds 87 US patents and has invented seven FDA-approved pharmaceuticals which have helped over 80 million people.

Richard A. Muller (PhD) is an emeritus professor of physics at the University of California Berkeley and a former senior scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Muller has publications in Scientific American, Physics Today, Nature, and Science.

These scientists revealed in a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) publication that the COVID-19 virus has a “genetic footprint” that has “never been observed in a natural coronavirus.”

“In fact, in the entire class of coronaviruses that includes CoV-2, the CGG-CGG combination has never been found naturally. That means the common method of viruses picking up new skills, called recombination, cannot operate here. A virus simply cannot pick up a sequence from another virus if that sequence isn’t present in any other virus,” state Quay and Muller.

Screenshot from “Is considering a genetic-manipulation origin for SARS-CoV-2 a conspiracy theory that must be censored?” by Rossana Segreto (PhD) at the University of Innsbruck Institute of Microbiology taken June 7, 2021

This “double CGG” is suppressed naturally but common in laboratory work. In fact, Quay and Muller explain that the double CGG sequence is the “sequence of choice” in lab work because it’s “readily available and convenient, and scientists have a great deal of experience inserting it.” Moreover, the double CGG creates a useful “beacon” allowing scientists to “track” the insertion in the lab.

“Now the damning fact. It was this exact sequence that appears in CoV-2. Proponents of zoonotic origin must explain why the novel coronavirus, when it mutated or recombined, happened to pick its least favorite combination, the double CGG. Why did it replicate the choice the lab’s gain-of-function researchers would have made?” ask the doctors.

The doctors critique a natural, or, zoonotic origin for COVID as difficult to believe because it is unlikely that random mutations would result in such sequencing.

“Yes, it could have happened randomly, through mutations. But do you believe that? At the minimum, this fact—that the coronavirus, with all its random possibilities, took the rare and unnatural combination used by human researchers—implies that the leading theory for the origin of the coronavirus must be laboratory escape,” they say.

But Quay and Muller claim there is “additional scientific evidence that points to CoV-2’s gain-of-function origin,” the most compelling of which is the “dramatic differences in the genetic diversity of CoV-2, compared with the coronaviruses responsible for SARS and MERS.”

“Both of those were confirmed to have a natural origin; the viruses evolved rapidly as they spread through the human population, until the most contagious forms dominated. Covid-19 didn’t work that way. It appeared in humans already adapted into an extremely contagious version. No serious viral ‘improvement’ took place until a minor variation occurred many months later in England,” the scientists say.

“Such early optimization is unprecedented, and it suggests a long period of adaptation that predated its public spread. Science knows of only one way that could be achieved: simulated natural evolution, growing the virus on human cells until the optimum is achieved. That is precisely what is done in gain-of-function research,” they add.

Doctors Quay and Muller conclude the WSJ piece by reiterating that the double CGG sequence is “strong evidence of gene splicing” and that the absence of COVID’s diversity “suggests gain-of-function acceleration.”

“The scientific evidence points to the conclusion that the virus was developed in a laboratory.”

Although Dr. Anthony Fauci publicly rejected the lab origin hypothesis, his email recently obtained via FOIA (Freedom of Information) request reveal that he was not only aware of the possibility of a man-made origin of COVID but also working behind the scenes to discredit the theory because the U.S. financed some of the lab’s research at Fauci’s behest.

President Donald Trump said he’d seen evidence that gave him a “high degree of confidence” the novel coronavirus originated in a laboratory in Wuhan, China as early as April of 2020.

American Red Cross Website Says Vaccinated People ‘Cannot Donate Convalescent Plasma’

The American Red Cross is insisting that individuals who have received the COVID-19 jab “are not able to donate convalescent plasma.”

The Red Cross’ own website claims that while the organization is “working as quickly as possible to evaluate this change,” it is not accepting blood donations from certain vaccinated people at this time.

On the site, one headline asks the question, “Can I donate COVID-19 convalescent plasma if I have received the vaccination?” Here’s their answer:

“At this time individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine are not able to donate convalescent plasma with the Red Cross. The Red Cross is working as quickly as possible to evaluate this change – as it may involve complex system updates. Please know, the Red Cross is committed to building a readily available inventory of convalescent plasma to ensure patients battling COVID-19 have all treatment options available to them.”

Here’s the screenshot from redcrossblood.org:

Screenshot from redcorssblood.org taken on May 21, 2021.

On another page, redcrossblood.org says again, “Individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine are not able to donate convalescent plasma with the Red Cross.”

Screenshot from redcrassblood.org taken on May 21, 2021.

The Mayo Clinic—recognized as the No. 1 hospital overall and top-ranked hospitals in twelve specialties by U.S. News & World Report—explains what convalescent plasma is:

“Convalescent plasma therapy uses blood from people who’ve recovered from an illness to help others recover.”

In other words, blood is considered “convalescent” if it comes from an individual who contracted an illness but who has recovered from that illness. As the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states, “Convalescent refers to anyone recovering from a disease.”

The Mayo Clinic goes on to explain that “Blood donated by people who’ve recovered from COVID-19 has antibodies to the virus that causes it,” adding that “[t]he donated blood is processed to remove blood cells, leaving behind liquid (plasma) and antibodies. These can be given to people with COVID-19 to boost their ability to fight the virus.”

Therefore, the Red Cross’ statement that “individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine are not able to donate convalescent plasma” does not mean that their organization considers all blood from anyone who has been vaccinated to be tainted (as some have claimed). But it does mean that the Red Cross’ website confirms that a certain group of individuals cannot donate their blood specifically because they’ve received the COVID “vaccine.”

A recent Reuters report confirms this:

“The American Red Cross’ current policy is to only accept convalescent plasma donations from people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have not had the vaccine. Although, if plasma donated by people vaccinated against COVID-19 has a high-level of COVID-19 antibodies it may be used as convalescent plasma.”

A March publication from The Washington Post also confirms this:

“Those who have been vaccinated can also donate platelets and AB Elite plasma to the Red Cross, but the organization is not accepting convalescent plasma from people who have taken a vaccine.”

But why is the American Red Cross refusing convalescent blood plasma from these vaccinated individuals?

The Red Cross’ “Merrill” told Lead Stories via telephone on April 12 of this year that “The FDA has outlined a very complicated qualification process. It would require the Red Cross to make a series of updates to our system. We are trying to evaluate the feasibility of implementing it, how long it would take to update it as well as the hospital demand for convalescent plasma.”

Lead Stories linked to an FDA webpage, which indicates that such convalescent plasma is not “approved.”

“Because convalescent plasma for the treatment of COVID-19 has not yet been approved for use by FDA, it is regulated as an investigational product,” reads the FDA webpage.

But the FDA page linked by Lead Stories does not indicate why it is that specifically vaccinated, COVID-recovered individuals cannot donate blood. In fact, the word ‘vaccine’ only appears one (1) time in the over 1,500-word article and only in reference to how “investigational convalescent plasma is collected,” not why such vaccinated individuals cannot donate their blood plasma.

It is at this time unclear why the American Red Cross and FDA are refusing convalescent blood plasma donations from these COVID-recovered, vaccinated individuals.

‘Do whatever you want’: Software to manipulate totals found on voting machines

Trump: ‘This will prove true in numerous other states’

A lawyer fighting an election-fraud case in Antrim County, Michigan, has revealed that the voting machines there contained a software program that could have been used to manipulate vote totals.

In fact, lawyer Matthew DePerno said in a podcast interview that with the MySQL program installed on the machines, and them all being linked, someone with access could “do whatever you want.”

DePerno, just a day earlier confirmed in a court hearing that there were 1,061 “phantom votes” in the county during the 2020 presidential election, because while a recount of ballots tallied 15,962, the Michigan secretary of state’s database showed only 14,901 votes were cast.

His latest concerns were raised during an interview with JD Rucker at the NOQ Report.

Rucker said the bombshell that DePerno delivered was that all of the voting machines were connected to each other through an intranet, that itself was not connected to the internet. However, he said a laptop computer with access to the intranet and access to the internet was left on during the Election Night counting.

As Biden Pushes Founders’ America to the Brink, Americans Must ‘Revisit the Original Plan’: Gen. Flynn

An article written by former United States Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.

James Madison, hailed as the father of our Constitution, is probably turning over in his grave given the shredding of our God-given constitutional values and principles upon which we were founded.

Madison recognized that since concentrating power leads to tyranny, dividing government power was essential for the preservation of liberty. He will never be accused of being short-sighted about the threats government would pose to the people.

Madison and others set out deliberately to design a form of government that would limit abuses and withstand the test of time. America now faces that test, and the central question that has emerged is: Will we pass the test, or will we fall into the abyss of history as other nation-states have done?

Along with other framers of our nation’s Constitution, Madison argued for dividing federal power among the three branches of our government — legislative, executive, and judicial. These should be studied and clearly understood by every American schoolchild from an early age, but to our nation’s and our children’s detriment, they are not.

And what is even less understood is why the Founders adopted a structure that they knew would result in conflict among the branches. In truth, the constitutional structure was designed not to enhance the efficiency of the government but to impede the exercise of raw governmental power and to protect the liberty of the people.

Apple tells GOP lawmakers Parler is approved to come back to its app store

‘Huge win for free speech’

Apple will allow Parler, the pro-free speech alternative social media app favored by conservatives and Trump supporters, back on to its iOS app store, the tech giant told Republican lawmakers Monday.

Parler was kicked off the iOS Store in the days following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol after Apple accused the company of failing to moderate violent content on its platform. Until now, Parler users have been unable to download the app on iOS devices. Apple had said Parler would not be allowed back in its store until the company made changes to comply with the App Store Review guidelines.

“There is no place for hateful, racist, discriminatory content on the App Store,” Apple reportedly told Parler last month.

But in a letter responding to an inquiry from Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) about Apple’s actions toward Parler, Apple Senior Director of Government Affairs for the Americas Timothy Powderly said his company has been “engaged in substantial conversation” with Parler about bringing the app into compliance with its guidelines.

YouTube To Remove ‘Dislike’ Feature As Biden WH Content Continues To See Likes Massively Trail Dislikes

As President Biden’s White House YouTube channel continues to see videos’ “dislikes” massively trump “likes,” the video platform announced it is testing a new design that obscures a public dislike count.

The move was announced via Twitter on March 30th, with YouTube explaining “in response to creator feedback around well-being and targeted dislike campaigns, we’re testing a few new designs that don’t show the public dislike count.”

As a result, only the accounts publishing videos will be able to see the dislike to like ratio.

Blue State Official Pushes ‘Big Government’ Agenda, Public Bank Idea

President Donald Trump (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana)

In a speech filled with progressive talking points and big government expansion proposals, San Diego County Board of Supervisors Acting Chair Terra Lawson-Remer used her State of the County Address Wednesday to urge local officials to take on responsibilities typically handled at the federal level—including potentially forming a public bank to fund affordable housing.

Speaking from the San Diego Natural History Museum, Lawson-Remer painted a picture of government overreach dressed as leadership, stating that if Washington “walks away,” San Diego County will “step up.” In reality, her message was clear: more local taxes, more spending, and more bureaucracy.

Among her proposals were a county-run managed care health plan, loosening budgetary restrictions to increase spending, and a new transfer tax on high-value property sales—measures critics say could punish success and burden taxpayers. She suggested that this one-time transfer fee on the top 1% of property sales could help “break the stranglehold” of the housing crisis. But rather than address the root causes of housing inflation—excessive regulation and red tape—her plan doubles down on government control.

Lawson-Remer also praised the Immigrant Legal Defense Program and boasted about using taxpayer dollars to bolster support for illegal immigrants, a move that continues to frustrate law-abiding citizens concerned about border security and the fair allocation of resources. In line with the usual progressive playbook, she pushed for $10 million in public funds to match state or philanthropic grants for a clean-up effort tied to cross-border pollution from Mexico, calling it a “sewage crisis.”

Notably, the acting chair floated the idea of a public bank funded by county reserves, saying money “kept in the stock market” should instead be redirected to fund housing. Critics warn that this kind of risky financial experimentation with public funds could backfire spectacularly.

Although her remarks were warmly received by progressive allies and fellow Democrats—including Rep. Juan Vargas and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria—many conservatives are questioning the wisdom of using taxpayer money to prop up big government solutions when the county already struggles with affordability, homelessness, and crime.

The Board of Supervisors is currently split 2–2 between Democrats and Republicans, with a July runoff looming that could tip the balance. As San Diego voters weigh their options, Lawson-Remer’s speech signals what more Democrat-led governance could mean: less fiscal restraint, higher taxes, and an ever-growing government presence in residents’ daily lives.

While the acting chair framed her vision as bold and compassionate, to conservatives, it looked more like a blueprint for expanding dependency and draining local resources under the guise of progress.

Twice-Deported Illegal Alien Sentenced to Over Three Years in Prison

A twice-deported Mexican national with a long criminal history and repeated illegal entries into the United States has been sentenced to over three years in federal prison—a move some see as long overdue in the face of a broken immigration system.

Juan Morales, 49, who has illegally returned to the U.S. at least three times, was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to illegal reentry. The sentencing took place in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.

Morales’s history reads like a case study in the failure of federal immigration enforcement. After racking up convictions for dealing meth and cocaine in both Indiana and Illinois, Morales managed to unlawfully reenter the U.S. multiple times despite prior deportations and previous convictions for illegal reentry.

The twice-deported illegal was most recently caught after being convicted in November for operating a vehicle without ever having a driver’s license. Federal authorities soon uncovered his extensive criminal and immigration background.

“While in the United States unlawfully for a third time, this defendant has repeatedly broken the law, demonstrating time and time again a fundamental lack of respect for this country,” said Acting U.S. Attorney John E. Childress.

Morales will serve one year of supervised release following his prison term—a sentence that raises concerns about what happens next, especially considering his past defiance of deportation orders.

The case underscores growing frustration with immigration policies that allow dangerous repeat offenders to slip back into the country and continue breaking the law with little consequence until caught again. Many Americans are asking how many chances are too many—and how long the system will continue to enable this cycle.

Vice President JD Vance Spends Good Friday at the Vatican

U.S. Vice President JD Vance traveled to the Vatican over Easter weekend, joining Christians from around the world in solemn remembrance of Good Friday and the Passion of Jesus Christ. While Pope Francis, recovering from health issues, did not attend the service, Vance and his family were present at St. Peter’s Basilica, surrounded by a team of Secret Service agents as they quietly entered the sacred space before the start of the liturgy.

Now a devout Roman Catholic, Vance converted to the faith six years ago and has consistently spoken about how his Christian beliefs guide his life and public service. His visit to Rome began earlier that day with a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni—a conservative leader and strong ally of President Donald Trump.

Vance took to social media to reflect on the significance of the day and the responsibilities of his office. “I’m grateful every day for this job, but particularly today where my official duties have brought me to Rome on Good Friday,” he wrote. “He died so that we might live.”

The Vice President’s presence at the Vatican during this holy weekend underscores the importance of faith, family, and tradition—values that continue to resonate deeply with millions of Americans. While global instability and spiritual decline often dominate headlines, Vance’s public embrace of faith sends a strong message of moral clarity and cultural strength.

Following the Good Friday observance, Vatican services will continue with the Way of the Cross procession at the Colosseum, presided over by the Vicar General of the Diocese of Rome. Vance is scheduled to meet Saturday with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s secretary of state, as Easter celebrations continue in the heart of Christendom.

7 Bodies, 3 States—Is a Serial Killer on the Loose?

A string of human remains discovered in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island over the past two months has stirred public anxiety and raised questions about a possible New England serial killer operating across state lines. So far, at least seven bodies have been found since early March in separate locations throughout the region.

The victims have been discovered in Foster, Rhode Island; Framingham and Plymouth, Massachusetts; and New Haven, Norwalk, Groton, and Killingly, Connecticut. Law enforcement officials from Connecticut have stated there is currently no known connection between the cases and no known threat to the public. However, former prosecutor Matthew Mangino says the trend demands closer scrutiny.

“Whether it’s coincidental or not, I think it merits review and investigation, at least,” Mangino said. He urged collaboration between local and state law enforcement across all jurisdictions to assess any potential links between the cases. “You can initially see if there are any similarities between these deaths… Were these homicides? … It could be a suicide, it could be accidental,” he noted.

Brian Higgins, former police chief and adjunct faculty at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, added that at least three of the victims are women. Authorities believe the remains found in Killingly belong to a woman in her 40s to 60s.

The most publicized cases include:

  • Paige Fannon, 35, whose body was found March 6 in the Norwalk River.
  • A human skull found the same day in Plymouth by a man searching for deer antlers.
  • An unidentified woman found near a cemetery in Groton.
  • Denise Leary, 59, a mother of two, found March 8 in New Haven.
  • Michele Romano, 56, whose body was found March 26 in the woods of Foster.
  • Additional bodies discovered April 9 in Killingly and April 10 in Framingham.

Romano’s family has publicly rejected claims of a serial killer connection in her case, expressing confidence in local law enforcement and a private investigator.

Still, online speculation has grown rapidly. A Facebook group titled “New England Serial Killer” has amassed over 55,000 members since April 15, reflecting widespread public concern.

While law enforcement has not confirmed any criminal pattern, the unusual number of deaths in such a short span is now drawing national attention and prompting renewed calls for coordinated investigations.

College Student Arrested in Tesla Attack

Tesla Cybertruck firebombing reported. A 19-year-old Missouri man has been arrested and charged with firebombing Tesla Cybertrucks at a dealership in Kansas City, in what federal officials are labeling a politically motivated act of domestic terrorism. Owen McIntire, a college student in Boston, was taken into FBI custody Friday and now faces serious federal charges after allegedly using Molotov cocktails to ignite multiple Tesla vehicles and charging stations.

According to the Department of Justice, McIntire has been charged with one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and one count of malicious damage by fire of property used in interstate commerce. The attack occurred at the Kansas City Tesla Center on March 17, where McIntire reportedly targeted a pair of Cybertrucks valued at over $100,000 each.

Surveillance footage reportedly shows McIntire arriving at the dealership around 11:10 p.m., dressed in dark clothing and a light-colored brimmed hat. He is seen throwing two incendiary devices at one of the trucks, igniting a blaze that spread to a second Cybertruck and two charging stations. A Kansas City police officer on patrol in the area witnessed the fire and recovered an unbroken Molotov cocktail from the scene.

Federal agents were able to link McIntire to the crime after identifying a white 2021 Subaru Crosstrek—registered to a relative—near the dealership. Video surveillance captured McIntire exiting the vehicle shortly before the firebombing.

“This is the second arrest this week of a suspect charged with targeting Tesla,” FBI Director Kash Patel said, warning that further incidents will be aggressively prosecuted. “These actions are dangerous, they are illegal, and we are going to arrest those responsible.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi echoed the message: “You will be arrested. You will be prosecuted. You will spend decades behind bars.”

Since President Trump’s return to office, the Department of Justice has treated recent attacks on Tesla facilities—including firebombings, shootings, and vandalism—as acts of domestic terrorism. Officials say these attacks are motivated by political animosity toward Elon Musk, who now serves in the Trump administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The DOJ reports that several suspects have already been apprehended, with many facing up to 20 years in federal prison.

Jennings Unleashes on CNN, 5 Times He Left Liberals Speechless

Scott Jennings (Screenshot from X/@ScottJenningsKY)

Republican strategist Scott Jennings has made a name for himself in President Donald Trump’s second term, not just as a political analyst but as a fiery voice dismantling leftist narratives on live television. Scott Jennings CNN NewsNight have captured national attention, earning praise from conservatives and even sparking jokes from Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, who dubbed Jennings the face of a new “viral video genre.”

Here are five of Jennings’ most memorable takedowns since January 20:

1. Feb. 4: Buyouts Aren’t “Terrorizing” Jennings corrected Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin, who claimed voluntary federal buyouts were “terrorizing” bureaucrats. “It’s not terrorizing to get an offer,” Jennings said, reminding the panel that no one was being forced out and the buyouts were completely optional.

2. Feb. 11: Musk Smear Gets Smashed When CNN’s Bakari Sellars accused Senior Advisor Elon Musk of corruption, Jennings swiftly challenged the claim. “What you’re essentially alleging would be the biggest corruption in any of our lifetimes,” he said. Jennings called out the baseless speculation and demanded credible evidence—none was provided.

3. Feb. 24: Who’s the Boss? In a segment where Elon Musk was criticized for emailing federal employees about their productivity, Jennings reminded CNN’s panel that government employees answer to the White House. “The White House is every federal worker’s boss,” he stated, pointing out that accountability isn’t “abuse”—it’s normal leadership.

4. March 6: Inflation Reality Check Jennings pressed Rep. Marilyn Strickland on why Americans should trust Democrats after Biden’s inflation record. “Why would I trust you?” he asked, pointing to skyrocketing prices during Biden’s term, driven by trillions in spending despite economic warnings.

5. March 18: Border Crisis Truth Bomb Facing off with former Biden official Neera Tanden, Jennings addressed the influx of Venezuelan gang members under the previous administration. When Tanden argued for limited deportations, Jennings replied, “They’re illegal immigrants. They are criminals,” reinforcing the Trump administration’s renewed focus on law and order.

Jennings’ sharp commentary has turned CNN panel appearances into must-watch moments for conservatives, exposing weak arguments and holding Democrats accountable in real-time.

WWE Icon Drops Political Bombshell Days Before WrestleMania

WWE megastar Roman Reigns stunned fans this week by publicly endorsing President Donald Trump in a new interview with Vanity Fair. The 39-year-old wrestling icon, whose real name is Joe Anoa’i, spoke candidly about his support for Trump just days before headlining WrestleMania, making waves across the sports and entertainment world.

“I support our president,” Reigns stated. “Trump is one of those guys where he’s got a vast history and a huge background.” The former WWE champion cited Trump’s experience across business, entertainment, and politics as a major factor behind his support.

“At this point, I’m supporting a bright future for our country,” Reigns said, praising the need for “positive and competent leadership” and calling on America to live up to its role as a global leader. Though he noted some reservations about Trump’s confrontational style, Reigns said the president’s willingness to answer tough questions helped him stand out—particularly in contrast to Vice President Kamala Harris.

“One person was giving us information. One person was answering questions, so it wasn’t that hard,” he said.

Reigns also drew a bold comparison between today’s political landscape and the world of professional wrestling. “The world seems to be more like wrestling than any other form of entertainment,” he observed, referencing the constant clashes and dramatic rivalries that define both arenas.

The endorsement triggered outrage among liberal wrestling fans online, who flooded social media with shocked reactions and memes. Some branded the move as betrayal, while others humorously referred to it as a “meltdown” in the internet wrestling community.

Despite the backlash, Reigns found support from many fans who praised him for speaking honestly about his political views. As one of the most prominent figures in WWE today, his comments mark another high-profile celebrity endorsement for President Trump heading into the 2024 election.

Chicago Just Burned Through Millions of Dollars

Chicago has already maxed out its entire 2025 police misconduct lawsuit budget just four months into the year, with $82 million already spent—and the city still faces hundreds of pending legal claims. The financial strain is adding pressure to an already fragile city budget facing a projected $982 million deficit.

One major factor was a staggering $32 million settlement approved last week for a St. Louis man who lost both legs in a 2022 police chase. The city council greenlit the payout, further depleting resources meant to last through December.

Mayor Brandon Johnson acknowledged the ongoing legal liabilities, many stemming from decades-old incidents. “We have inherited quite the mess,” Johnson told reporters, noting the volume of lawsuits still on the books.

Corporation Counsel Mary Richardson-Lowry admitted that projecting settlement costs is unpredictable. “Some predictions one can make, but [they are] largely unknown because it depends on the parties with whom we’re negotiating for settlement,” she said.

Richardson-Lowry added that the administration may need to make midyear budget adjustments in response to legal expenses. Quarterly meetings involving the law, budget, and police departments are already underway to reassess allocations.

Meanwhile, residents are raising red flags about the broader fiscal picture. During a recent City Council budget hearing, resident Tiwon Sims pointed out the city’s near $1 billion projected shortfall and criticized ongoing spending, especially on noncitizen migrants.

“I want to watch y’all push the pieces with a…$982 million shortfall already looming,” Sims said. He also highlighted the absence of a Department of Government Efficiency, suggesting a structural flaw in how the city manages its funds.

With police-related lawsuits piling up and no clear cap on future payouts, Chicago faces a growing financial and political challenge that threatens to derail its already fragile 2025 budget.

Congressman Focusing on a Law You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Ariz., is calling on lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to back a series of pro-Second Amendment bills aimed at reducing federal overreach and clarifying firearm suppressor regulations. Arguing that current laws are confusing, excessive, and harmful to lawful gun owners, Hamadeh is throwing his weight behind legislation that redefines, deregulates, and simplifies how suppressors are treated under federal law.

Among the key proposals is the Protecting Americans’ Right to Silence Act, which refines the federal definition of “silencer” to ensure that commonly used parts like end caps and adaptors are not misclassified as suppressors. “It is pretty basic but essential,” Hamadeh told The Center Square. “Over the years bureaucrats have infringed on rights that should never be touched.”

Another measure, the PARTS Act, introduced by Reps. August Pfluger, R-Texas, and Jared Golden, D-Maine, seeks to fix what the lawmakers call the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ “poorly written suppressor rule.” Hamadeh emphasized the importance of protecting law-abiding citizens from unknowingly violating complex and unclear federal regulations.

The Hearing Protection Act, introduced by Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., is also on Hamadeh’s radar. It would reclassify suppressors so that they are regulated like firearms—making them easier to obtain through the same process as buying a gun. “Right now, it is harder to buy a suppressor than it is to buy a gun,” Hamadeh said. “That makes no sense.”

Hamadeh also supports the Silencers Help Us Save Hearing Act, introduced by Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. The bill aims to streamline suppressor regulations and ensure consistent rules across states. Hamadeh said he’s received input from Arizona hunters, recreational shooters, and law enforcement officials who are all concerned about hearing damage and inconsistent laws.

“These are bills aimed at the health of those people who are legally exercising their Second Amendment rights, nothing more,” Hamadeh stated. “No matter what political party you belong to, the health of Americans should be a top priority.”

Trump Admin Drops the Hammer on Foreign Music Stars

Trump cancels visas of the Mexican band Los Alegres del Barranco, known for glorifying violent drug cartels in their music, just weeks before a scheduled concert in San Francisco. The band, part of the “narcocorrido” genre, was set to perform in the South Bay on April 29.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau announced the decision on April 1, citing the group’s recent performance in Mexico that featured imagery honoring “El Mencho,” the notoriously violent leader of the CJNG drug cartel. “I’m a firm believer in freedom of expression, but that doesn’t mean that expression should be free of consequences,” Landau posted on X.

Landau emphasized the administration’s commitment to blocking entry to foreign nationals who glorify criminals. “The last thing we need is a welcome mat for people who extol criminals and terrorists,” he wrote. His remarks reflect the administration’s broader crackdown on cultural and ideological expressions that normalize cartel violence and criminal behavior.

The narcocorrido genre has long sparked controversy for romanticizing the exploits of drug lords through music. Critics argue the songs serve as propaganda for cartels, shaping public perception and recruitment in vulnerable communities. Los Alegres del Barranco’s lyrics and visuals have drawn increased scrutiny as cartel violence continues to spill across the U.S.–Mexico border.

Following the visa cancellation, the band issued a public statement in Spanish, claiming they did not intend to offend. “It was never our intention to generate controversy, let alone cause offense. We will take more stringent measures regarding the visual and narrative content of our performances,” they said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Landau’s actions and commentary signal a shift in diplomatic tone, drawing a clear line between free expression and promoting violent criminal enterprises. The move is also consistent with President Trump’s commitment to law and order, reinforcing his administration’s focus on combating cross-border cartel influence.
