U.S. Attorney Letter Confirms Rep. Gaetz’s Version Of Events In Bizarre ‘Sex Trafficking’ Story.

A statement from Assistant U.S. Attorney David Goldberg confirms Rep. Matt Gaetz’s claim that the Federal Bureau of Investigations was investigating extortion claims in response to a New York Times article accusing the congressman of sex trafficking.

In an email between Rep. Gaetz’s father’s lawyer and Goldberg, the Assistant U.S. Attorney confirms the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) involvement:

“I can confirm that your client is working with my office as well as the FBI at the government’s request in order to determine if a federal crime has been committed. This has been discussed with, and approved by, the FBI as well as the leadership of my office and components of Main Justice.”

The response followed a Gaetz family lawyer sending the following in a March 25th email:

“My client, Don Gaetz, was approached by two individuals to make a sizable payment in what I would call a scheme to defraud. The FBI is not asking Don to voluntarily and proactively assist in their investigation, which Don is willing to do. Please confirm that your Office and the FBI would like Don’s assistance in this matter and that he will be working at the Government’s request.”

Shooting in Orange That Killed Child and Three Others Was Isolated, Police Say

Orange, Calif. —The man who killed four people—including a nine-year-old boy—at an Orange business complex March 31 knew his victims, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said.

“The preliminary motive is believed to be related to a business and personal relationship, which existed between the suspect and all of the victims,” Lt. Jennifer Amat told reporters during an April 1 press briefing.

“It appears all of the adults were connected either by business or a personal relationship, and this was not a random act of violence. The child is believed to be the son of one of the victims who worked at the business.”

Four people, including a nine-year-old boy, were killed and a fifth wounded in a shooting at an office building in Orange March 31, and the suspected shooter was taken into custody.

Former Episcopal bishop punished for not allowing gay marriages in diocese leaves denomination

A bishop of The Episcopal Church who was punished for refusing to allow the blessing of same-sex marriages in his diocese has decided to leave the mainline Protestant denomination.

William H. Love, former bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany, was disciplined last year for refusing to enforce a church resolution mandating the blessing of gay marriages in every diocese, including those previously opposed to the practice.

In a statement released Wednesday, Love explained that he was leaving the Episcopal Church effective April 2 and planning to join the Anglican Church in North America, a more theologically conservative denomination.

“As a cradle Episcopalian (with nearly 30 years of ordained ministry as a deacon, priest and bishop), that was not an easy decision, but given all that has transpired these past couple of years and the constraints placed upon me as a theologically conservative and orthodox bishop within TEC, I believe it is the right decision,” wrote Love.

“It is my hope and plan to be received into the Anglican Church in North America in the very near future, at which time all the details of what I will be doing and where I will be serving will be shared in a separate announcement.”

Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, leader of the denomination, released a statement in response to the announcement, explaining that he had granted Love’s request.

Without specifically mentioning the issue of same-sex marriage, Curry went on to argue that his belief was that “as a church we are called, as Jesus once said, to be ‘a house of prayer for all people,’ where, as my slave ancestors used to sing, ‘there is plenty good room for all of God’s children.’”

“That conviction is not based on a social theory or capitulation to the ways of the culture. Rather, it is born of my belief that the outstretched arms of Jesus on the cross are the ultimate sign of the very love of God reaching out to embrace and welcome us all,” stated Curry.

FULL VIDEO: Donald Trump Interviewed by Lara Trump on ‘The Right View’

The New York Post reports Facebook and Instagram have scrubbed Donald Trump’s interview with daughter-in-law, Laura Trump.

Here is the full interview:

The Post revealed that the interview was scrubbed by the social media platforms simply because it “featured Trump speaking” and the “voice of Donald Trump,” Facebook said in an internal email.

Lara Trump, who also contributes to Fox News, shared a screenshot of an email sent by a Facebook employee, saying the company would be taking down the interview, according to the Post.

“We are reaching out to let you know that we removed content from Lara Trump’s Facebook page that featured President Trump speaking,” the email she posted states.

“In line with the block we placed on Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, further content posted in the voice of Donald Trump will be removed and result in additional limitations on the accounts,” the email continued.

Shocking Photos: Man’s Skin Peels Off After Extreme Adverse Reaction To COVID Vaccine

“It all just happened so fast. My skin peeled off”

Virginia Commonwealth University doctors say a COVID-19 vaccine is to blame for a 74-year-old man’s severe rash that appeared four days after receiving the experimental shot.

The Goochland County, Virginia man spent five days at the VCU Medical Center earlier this month after the Johnson & Johnson “vaccine” caused his skin to start peeling off.

“It all just happened so fast. My skin peeled off,” Richard Terrell told ABC 8. “It’s still coming off on my hands now.”

“I began to feel a little discomfort in my armpit and then a few days later I began to get an itchy rash, and then after that I began to swell and my skin turned red,” he added.

Terrell described the pain, saying, “It was stinging, burning and itching. Whenever I bent my arms or legs, like the inside of my knee, it was very painful where the skin was swollen and was rubbing against itself.”

VCU Dermatology expert Dr. Fnu Nutan said, “We ruled out all the viral infections, we ruled out COVID-19 itself, we made sure that his kidneys and liver was okay, and finally we came to the conclusion that it was the vaccine that he had received that was the cause.”

She warned Richard could have died if he didn’t get medical attention, explaining, “Skin is the largest organ in the body, and when it gets inflamed like his was, you can lose a lot of fluids and electrolytes.”

Despite the horrifying reaction, both Terrell and Dr. Nutan recommend people get the vaccine.

Trump blasts Biden’s ‘ludicrous’ plans for massive tax increase: ‘Strategy for economic surrender’

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed President Biden‘s plans for a huge tax increase as a “classic globalist betrayal” of American workers that will result in U.S. jobs and factories moving to China and other countries.

In one of his most stinging criticisms of his successor to date, Mr. Trump said the Biden administration is “losing the economic war with China.”

“Biden’s ludicrous multitrillion-dollar tax hike is a strategy for total economic surrender,” Mr. Trump said in a statement. “Biden’s policy would break the back of the American Worker with among the highest business tax rates in the developed world.”

The former president’s rebuke came as Mr. Biden was visiting Pittsburgh to announce details of his $2.25 infrastructure spending plan. It would be funded at least in part by raising corporate taxes, hiking taxes on income over $400,000 and imposing a “global minimum tax.”

“Joe Biden’s radical plan to implement the largest tax hike in American history is a massive giveaway to China, and many other countries, that will send thousands of factories, millions of jobs, and trillions of dollars to these competitive nations,” Mr. Trump said. “The Biden plan will crush American workers and decimate U.S. manufacturing, while giving special tax privileges to outsourcers, foreign and giant multinational corporations.”

Video: WHO Advisor Says Investigation Into COVID Origin Was “Entirely Inadequate”

Evidence for animal to human transmission is “nonexistent”

An advisor to the World Health Organisation has declared that the organisation’s investigation into the origins of the coronavirus outbreak is “entirely inadequate”.

Appearing on Fox & Friends, Jamie Metzl noted that “They’ve done a thorough job of investigating the first hypothesis… that it jumped from bats to other animals to humans, and that’s possible. But they’ve entirely discounted, without any significant inquiry, the very likely possibility that COVID-19 began from an accidental lab leak.”

“It is conceptually possible that this happened in the wild. The evidence for it so far is nonexistent, but we know that past outbreaks have happened that way,” Metzl, who also served in the Clinton administration, added.

The Reopening: ADP Says Private Payrolls Grew By 517,000 in March

Economists surveyed by Econoday had forecast job growth of 500,00, although estimates ranged from 225,000 to 750,000.

In March, Texas Governor Greg Abbott lifted the restrictions on business in his state and ended its mask mandate. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis barred local governments from fining businesses for violations of local covid safety restrictions. Many other states have also eliminated or pared back restrictions placed on businesses during the pandemic.

The pandemic appears to have made it harder for ADP to measure job growth, perhaps because so much of the economy is responding to governmental restrictions.  Last year ADP’s estimates consistently failed to track job growth. And that has continued into this year. Last month, ADP said private payrolls grew by just 117,000. Government data released a few days later showed payrolls expanding by 465,000.

Goods-producing businesses added 80,000 jobs, including 49,000 in manufacturing. Construction added 32,000. Mining operations shed 1,000.

Services providers added 437,000 jobs, including 169,000 in leisure and hospitality. That is a strong indicator that the surge in hiring is related to the economy reopening and restrictions on businesses coming to an end.

AOC Sounds Off On Border Crisis, Gives Biden A Pass; Blames ‘Imperialism,’ ‘Climate,’ ‘Trade’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) blamed the worsening immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border on imperialism, climate change, trade policy, and the prison system.

Ocasio-Cortez sounded off on the border crisis Tuesday on Instagram. The New York Democrat did not explicitly blame President Joe Biden for the surge of illegal migrants crossing the U.S. border, though migrants themselves cite the president and his policies as primary factors in their decision to travel to the U.S.

“So let’s talk about this because so much of our national conversation, which is not a conversation, about immigration is driven by people who could not care less about immigrants. So often people want to say, ‘Why aren’t you talking about the border crisis?’ or ‘Why are you talking about it in this way?’” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“Well, we’re talking about it. They just don’t like how we’re talking about it because it’s not a border crisis, it’s an imperialism crisis. It’s a climate crisis. It’s a trade crisis. And also, it’s a carceral crisis because as I have already said even during this term and this president, our immigration system is based and designed on our carceral system,” she continued.
