Month: November 2023

America inched deeper into the Middle East conflict on Wednesday as the U.S. carried out an airstrike on a site in eastern Syria.

In a statement, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the targeted location is used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and groups linked to Iran.

“This strike was conducted by two U.S. F-15s against a weapons storage facility,” he said. “This precision self-defense strike is a response to a series of attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by IRGC-Quds Force affiliates.”

“The United States is fully prepared to take further necessary measures to protect our people and our facilities. We urge against any escalation. U.S. personnel will continue to conduct counter-ISIS missions in Iraq and Syria,” Lloyd said.

The strike was the second such action in two weeks.

On Tuesday, deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh said that between Oct. 17 and Nov. 7, at least 40 attacks were launched against U.S. forces in the region, according to ABC News.

More than half of those attacks came after the Oct. 26 U.S. airstrikes against two weapons storage facilities in Syria used by Iran and its allies.

Forty-six American service members have been injured in the attacks, Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters on Monday.

A senior defense official told CNN that Iran is “the center of gravity” for the attacks against American forces, saying that “Iranian fingerprints are all over” them.

Also on Wednesday, an American drone was shot down by Houthi rebels near Yemen.

A U.S. defense official said the MQ-9 Reaper drone was shot down in international airspace, according to another ABC report.

The New York Times called it “another escalation of violence between the United States and Iran-backed groups in the region.”

Last month, the USS Carney engaged in a nine-hour duel with Houthi rebels near Yemen during which the Carney shot down four cruise missiles and 15 drones.

Ryder confirmed at the time that the drones were heading north, “potentially toward targets in Israel.”

The increasing attacks and fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza are raising concerns about a wider war erupting in the Middle East.

As the fiscal year 2024 approaches, the debate over government spending has taken center stage with Representative Steve Womack’s (R-AR) introduction of H.R.4664.

This bill provides FY2024 appropriations for several federal departments and agencies, including:

the Department of the Treasury,
the Executive Office of the President,
the judiciary,
the District of Columbia, and
several independent agencies.

The independent agencies funded in the bill include:

the Administrative Conference of the United States,
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,
the Consumer Product Safety Commission,
the Election Assistance Commission,
the Federal Communications Commission,
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
the Federal Election Commission,
the Federal Labor Relations Authority,
the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council,
the Federal Trade Commission,
the General Services Administration,
the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation,

An amendment was proposed by Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL), effectively seeking to bar the utilization of any funds for acquiring property intended for the new FBI headquarters.

On Wednesday, Gaetz launched a vehement attack against the House, the FBI, and Democrats while on the House floor, criticizing their appeal for funding aimed at developing an expansive new facility in Washington DC.

“They want to spend more than $300 million on that complex. Though the FBI has an employee base that’s about 2.3% of the United States military. Mr. Speaker, they’re literally asking for something that is larger than the Pentagon for the FBI,” said Gaetz.

“And so my amendment would disallow any planning, spending, distribution of funds for that purpose. I don’t believe that the FBI deserves a massive new headquarters or Washington Field office,” he added.

He argued against the investment of more than $300 million into a complex that is undeserved given the FBI’s abuse of power and violation of civil liberties against conservatives.

“They’ve worked hard to censor factual information harmful to their preferred political candidates, notably the Hunter Biden laptop story that the FBI, based in the DC metro area, were involved in cajoling censorship of. Building a new headquarters would condone, reinforce, and enable the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigations’ nefarious behavior. We shouldn’t do it, and we should adopt this amendment to ensure that’s the case.”

On the other side of the aisle, Rep. Womack rises not so much in defense of the FBI’s request but in opposition to what he views as precipitate action against it. He acknowledges the FBI headquarters’ dilapidation yet calls for thorough hearings and expert testimony before reaching a decision on its funding.

Womack said, “We’re not always going to hate the FBI, but what I do know is that when I toured the FBI headquarters, I saw it in a state of disrepair that is going to need the attention of the owners of that property, and that’s us. The fact is, the building is crumbling and there’s going to be a need to do something.”

Gaetz, however, remained undeterred, accentuating that his primary concern revolved around the erosion of civil liberties under the FBI’s aegis. He expressed disappointment in siding with the bureau under the current circumstances and suggested that the FBI resolve its internal issues before any funding for a new, expansive facility is considered.

“It is not my grave concern that the FBI’s building is crumbling. It is my grave concern that the civil liberties of Americans are crumbling. And I wish we were more worried about that and less worried about whether or not we got new carpet and wallpaper at the FBI building,” Gaetz refuted.

“My colleague from Arkansas says that the FBI headquarters is in a state of disrepair. Mr. Speaker, it is the FBI itself that is in a state of disrepair. And so while my colleague from Arkansas may be right that we may not always hate the FBI, how about while we are most concerned about the things they are doing, we not go build them a new 300 million dollar building?”

“The notion that we would stand here and defend them, frankly, is deeply disappointing. And I think those folks deserve to sit in the rat-infested J. Edgar Hoover Building until they get their acts straight with America’s civil liberties,” Gaetz concluded.

WATCH:

The General Services Administration has announced that the FBI will be relocating its headquarters from its longstanding location in Washington, D.C., to a new site in Greenbelt, Maryland, according to the Washington Post.

The new headquarters will be situated on a 61-acre plot near the Greenbelt Metro station.

“GSA looks forward to building the FBI a state-of-the-art headquarters campus in Greenbelt to advance their critical mission for years to come,” said GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan.

Washington Post reported:

Maryland leaders had pitched Greenbelt in Prince George’s, a majority-Black county just outside the nation’s capital, as a Metro-accessible site that would deliver on President Biden’s promise to invest in historically underfunded communities. Local officials in Virginia and D.C. had also lobbied hard for the project, viewed as a crown jewel for its associated jobs, prestige and economic development.

For more than a decade, local and federal leaders and real estate developers jockeyed over who would build and host a modern FBI headquarters serving thousands of employees. The high-stakes process has been delayed and punctured by politics, with governors and members of Congress aggressively trying to sway the decision-makers.

‘The former president’s properties have appreciated in value’

President Donald Trump’s corporate worth is an issue now because the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who campaigned on the platform of getting him, is claiming in a civil case he inflated the values of his properties.

She is insisting on $250 million in damages is owed. And she wants the courts to kill Trump’s business entities entirely.

Judge Arthur Engoron already has ruled there was “fraud,” even though there’s no evidence of any loan defaults, any complaints from business associates or anything like that.

Further the paperwork involved in Trump’s real estate deals included a disclaimer, telling purchasers, or sellers, they should do their own due diligence on property values, which is a standard clause in many contracts.

But now that Engoron, on his own, wildly ruled that Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home was worth only about $18 million, drawing dropped jaws and laughter from experts in real estate, a report has appeared with documentation.

The Epoch Times explains Trump’s net worth “jumped by more than $500 million since he left the White House in early 2021.”

That detail comes from Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which states Trump now is worth $3.1 billion.

“The reason for the increase, according to the index, is due to the former president’s properties having appreciated in value between 2021 and 2023. It noted that a number of his properties in Manhattan—including the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue—are worth hundreds of millions of dollars each, his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida is worth about $240 million, a number of other properties and holdings are also worth hundreds of millions, and his liquid assets are said to be about $600 million,” the report in the Times said.

The report noted the values were derived from a 2021 statement from Trump, a 2023 government ethics filing, market data and mortgage filings.

The properties were valued “as is,” meaning development potential was not included.

The report cited “speculation that he may have lost billions of dollars amid legal fees and other business losses since he became president and also as he faces a New York civil fraud trial. However, his son, Eric, told Bloomberg on Tuesday that the Trump Organization remains strong.”

He said the company’s position is “fantastic” with the most cash and lowest debt ever.

The report quoted real estate agent Liza Pulitzer saying Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is worth more than Bloomberg’s estimate, and way more than Engoron claimed.

“It could easily fetch $500 million or more,” she told the publication.

Trump himself has described James’ agenda against him as “election interference.”

On Wednesday, Israeli actress Gal Gadot, of “Wonder Woman” fame, hosted a screening of footage from the Oct. 7 slaughter by Hamas terrorists at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.

The 43-minute film, “Bearing Witness,” features extremely graphic and violent footage “documenting the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7th, 2023.”

The film also includes footage shot by Hamas terrorists during their murderous rampage.

The Los Angeles Times reports approximately 200 people, including Israeli officials and Hollywood executives, attended the screening while about 50 protesters gathered outside.

Police were already in the area providing security and ABC 7 reports they formed a skirmish line in an effort to control the unruly crowd where several people were seen being detained.

The pro-Palestine rioters attacked those attending the screening.

Local KABC-7 reported:

Police responded to the Museum of Tolerance Wednesday night as multiple fights broke out in conjunction with the screening of footage depicting the Hamas attack on Israel.
…

The screening generated controversy and threats on social media, with supporters of the Palestinian cause accusing the “Wonder Woman” actress of supporting genocide, while backers of Israel came to her defense.
…

AIR7 HD was over the scene as dozens of people were gathered outside the museum. Multiple fights broke out, with several people being pepper-sprayed.

I know what went wrong on Election Day for the GOP- again. Can you handle the truth? Because it’s going to be brutal.

And please don’t blame President Trump. I’m getting really sick of the lies and desperation. Not just by Democrats. But by assorted “Never Trumpers,” RINOS, establishment GOP, and DeSantis backers. I know- I repeat myself.

Not only the New York Times, but also the latest CNN poll shows Trump winning big. He is dominating the GOP field…and burying DeSantis…and Joe Biden too. Trump is winning everything, everywhere. At least in polls that measure the opinions and votes of real American citizens.

But do these polls take into account, illegal alien voters? Of course not. No illegal alien voter would dare talk to pollsters. They stay low. They hide. They keep their heads down. They don’t want anyone to catch onto this gigantic voting scam.

And therein lies the problem.

This is why we’re losing elections- among many other factors. I’ll cover all the other reasons in Part 2 tomorrow. But first and foremost, the problem is open borders and illegal alien voting.

But I know one thing for certain: Trump is not to blame. He’s the one who warned us all about open borders and the destruction of America way back in 2015- a lifetime ago. He was right. This is what’s destroying the GOP. This is why we’re losing elections.

Take Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin. He’s not my cup of tea- too “centrist” for me (which means he’s a compromiser- always right down the middle). You know what’s in the middle of the road? Road kill.

“Center” and “moderate” and “compromise” don’t work when you’re fighting a communist takeover of the USA- backed by the DC Swamp, Deep State, CIA, DOJ, FBI, 87,000 new IRS agents- all working for the Democrat Party, Homeland Security, CDC, FDA, WHO, teachers unions, every educator and college professor in America, Hollywood (every movie and TV show), Silicon Valley and the entire mainstream media.

Throw in George Soros, Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum, Bill Gates, China, the Chinese Communist Party and the Mexican Drug Cartels.

They’re all against Trump…MAGA…America First…American exceptionalism…capitalim…and Judeo-Christian values.

So poor Glenn Youngkin isn’t the right guy for the job. But give him credit- he campaigned hard, he fought hard, he had good issues- inflation, Biden’s failing economy, failing schools. So why did he lose? Why did the GOP nationally suffer another losing election?

This is about open borders.

Is everyone blind? Don’t you notice millions of illegal aliens coming into America every year, for 3 years in a row? You don’t think any of them are voting? Well then I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Vegas…over the ocean.

They’re being waved in by Biden (and his boss Obama), and then dumped all over the USA for one reason- to turn America deep blue.

Youngkin just won a smashing victory in Virginia up and down the ticket only two years ago. Since then, Biden (and his boss Obama) have destroyed this country three thousand ways from Tuesday. They’ve turned America into a third world craphole. We’re a hot mess.

America is FUBAR (fuc—ed up beyond all recognition).

And in the face of all of that, you think it’s “normal” that only two years after a smashing victory in Virginia, those same Virginia voters decided to reward Biden and the Democrats? That’s just not possible.

What I believe happened is that in Virginia and every state in this country, millions of illegals have settled in, and gotten licenses at DMV, and automatically registered to vote. Democrat activists and unions and Soros organizations show them how to do 2 things as soon as they get to America- collect welfare and register to vote.

That is the whole point of open borders. It may take a few months, or even a year for Democrats to get each wave of illegals registered and voting. But that means the ones who came in in 2021 (Biden’s first year) started voting in time for the 2022 midterms. The ones who came in in 2022 (Biden’s second year) started voting in this election. The ones arrive this year (Biden’s third year) will be voting in the 2024 presidential election.

So now in blue cities, blue counties and blue voting districts in each state, there are more Democrat voters every year. That’s one reason Youngkin went backwards in only two years.

Because Democrats brought in reinforcements- and we’re surrounded like the Alamo!

This is “The Great Replacement” strategy at work. The citizens are being surrounded and out-voted by illegal invaders. How do you think Democrats turned California from the land of Nixon, Reagan and Pete Wilson to a 100% Democrat state? They kept adding illegals until they out-voted California’s legal citizens. Eventually no Republican could ever again win a statewide race.

Now Biden (and his boss Obama) are using the California model on the whole nation. Democrats keep waving in hordes of illegals. Then Democrats illegally register them to vote.

We are being overrun like “Custer’s Last Stand.”

And until the GOP figures out how to stop this, we will keep being overrun by this invasion of illegal Democrat voters. Until America and the GOP is gone forever.

I’m only just getting started. Tomorrow I’ll release Part 2 of this brutally honest story on why the GOP keeps losing. There’s much more to the story.

The Department of Justice recently charged 371 people with stealing a combined $836 million in funds that were meant to be used for Covid 19 relief, according to The New York Post.

The charges came after a three-month investigation by various law enforcement agencies, which led to 63 of the 371 people charged to be deemed gang members and others with connections to violent crime. Some of the funds were even used in murder-for-hire plots, prosecutors say.

Much of the misused funds comes from pandemic unemployment insurance as well as funds from Small Business Administration programs including the Paycheck Protection Program and economic injury disaster loans, according to the DOJ.

These charges are in addition to the 3,000 individuals already charged by the DOJ, with the agency seizing $1.4 billion in misused pandemic-era relief funds. Some of the most fraudulent programs include the Paycheck Protection Program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, both administered by the Small Business Administration.

These programs have been rife with fraud. The PPP program alone had about $200 billion in fraudulent payments, equaling about 17% of the loans awarded.

The criminals have spent stolen funds on luxury cars, private jet rides, vacation homes, and designer jewelry, according to The Post. Just last week, a real estate broker was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for using $381,000 in fraudulently obtained funds to buy a Bentley, a luxury apartment and pay for cosmetic procedures.

Of those charged in this wave, 119 pleaded guilty or were convicted, and 117 cases were handled in civil court. The DOJ says $231.4 million of the stolen funds have been recovered so far.

COVID-19 stimulus programs continue to be some of the most fraudulent programs in history, with record amounts of taxpayer money used for self-enrichment by criminals thanks to insufficient oversight and controls.

Former Air Force pilot and U.S. Sen. Martha McSally said she was the victim of a sexual assault Wednesday while running near Omaha Nebraska.

The former Republican senator from Arizona posted about the incident on her Instagram.

“I was just sexually assaulted while out running. I am safe. I am ok. It could have been much worse. I have a lot to process. For anyone else who has been assaulted, speak up. Find your power. Process it emotionally, spiritually, neurologically. I am safe,” she wrote.

“I was just running while I was out running along the Missouri River on the Iowa side. I’m here in Omaha to speak tonight about courage and heart, and how to be a brave heart. And I just had it put to the test,” McSally said in a video on her page.

‘I realize I’m still in an adrenaline state,” she said, adding “I’m OK.”

McSally recounted the incident.

“A man came up behind me and he engulfed me in a bear hug, and he molested and fondled me until I fought him off,” she said.

“I then chased him down. I said a lot of swear words in this moment. I was in a fight, flight or freeze, and I chose to fight.

“I ran after him. I threw my water bottle at him, and I chased him into the brush, where he was then hiding as I called 911 and waited for the police to come. I don’t think they found him, and I’m OK,” she said.

McSally said fighting back was the right thing to do.

“But, in this moment, I just wanted to share that I chose to fight and I’m OK right now, in part, because of that. It could have been much worse. I still have a lot to process and I will do that in time.”

McSally said she would process what took place in what she called a “healthy way.”

“I know it’s tapped into a nerve of other sexual abuse and assault that I’ve been through in the past, which I’ve healed from, as much as I feel can be done,” she said.

McSally said in 2019 that while she was in the Air Force, she was raped by a superior officer.

“But in this case, I felt like I took my power back. He tried to take power from me, but I turned it on him and he was running from me instead of the other way around. Not giving anyone advice on how to respond in situations like this. It could have been much worse. But I chose, in the moment, it wasn’t really a decision. I just sprung into action to go after him and have him running from me. But I’m safe and I’m glad that I did that,” she said Wednesday.

According to the AZ Central, agencies in Omaha, Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Pottawattamie County, Iowa, could not provide information about the incident.

In 2019, when speaking up about her sexual assault in the Air Force, McSally said the incident almost caused her to leave the service.

“I was horrified at how my attempt to share generally my experiences was handled,” she said. She almost left the Air Force after 18 years.

“Like many victims, I felt like the system was raping me all over again.”

70 House Republicans voted on Wednesday to reward Chris Wray’s FBI with a new $300 million headquarters larger than the Pentagon.

This comes after years of FBI SWAT Team raids on over 1,000 Trump supporters who attended the Jan. 6, 2021 protests at the US Capitol.
At least 80% of these FBI investigations, stalking, plotting, and arrests were for non-violent crimes like standing outside the US Capitol that day.

The FBI has also targeted Catholics, Christians, parents at school board meetings, journalists, and President Trump.

It’s so bad there is even a movie about the FBI abuse – POLICE STATE.

One former and three current employees of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department died of suspected suicides just hours apart this week.

According to NBC News, the deaths occurred on Monday and Tuesday.

Sources told the outlet that while the cause of the deaths has not been determined by the medical examiner, each of them is being investigated as a suicide.

On Monday morning, a captain was found dead at his home in Santa Clarita.

A short while later, a retired deputy was found dead in the Antelope Valley in the northern part of the county.

Also on Monday, a jail official was found dead, also in the Santa Clarita area.

The following morning, a deputy who worked at a jail was found unresponsive at home. The deputy was pronounced dead at a Pomona hospital.

NBC’s sources said the deaths are “unrelated to one another.”

The department has not released the identities of the deceased, but the Los Angeles Times reported that they include Cmdr. Darren Harris, a 25-year veteran of the force, and retired Sgt. Greg Hovland.

“The Sheriff’s Department is beyond saddened to learn of the deaths involving four LASD employees, one retired and three current,” the department said in a statement.

Sheriff Robert Luna also issued statements about the apparent suicides.

“We are stunned to learn of these deaths, and it has sent shockwaves of emotions throughout the department as we try and cope with the loss of not just one, but four beloved active and retired members of our department family,” Luna said.

“I have the deepest concern for our employees’ well-being, and we are urgently exploring avenues to reduce work stress factors to support our [employees’] work and personal lives,” he added, according to KABC-TV.

The sheriff’s department, the largest in the country, employs almost 18,000 people throughout the sprawling county, according to its website.

According to Boston University, police officers die of suicide at a rate that is 54 percent higher than among civilians.

They have shared their appreciation in a video message with the heartfelt gratitude from some of the January 6 political prisoners and their families.

This new initiative also features an update from two of Jake Lang’s organizations,  SponsorJ6.com and J6Legal.org , which have tirelessly fought to keep our patriots in the fight. Many of the Jan 6ers give a special thanks directly to the American people for supporting these amazing community funds.

The Gateway Pundit has also obtained an exclusive statement from the community organizers who help distribute all of the commissary funds; Amani Grow, Angie Bosek, Aida Mato and Hoang Quan.

“Through the team driven effort of SponsorJ6.com and the unbelievable support of the The Gateway Pundit’s readers, we have been able to distribute $53,000+ in vital commissary funds directly from SponsorJ6 to over 224 Jan 6 prisoners in 60+ different prisons across the United States! We are so grateful to be apart of this movement and will continue to strive to alleviate the J6 families anyway we can until ALL of our POWs are home!”

Beloved Jan 6er, Isaac Thomas, who recently turned 21 years old in the DC Gulag, also wrote to thank TGP readers.

“Jake Lang and The Gateway Pundit have been a huge support to me through my time in the DC Gulag. Jake has helped me in many ways including commissary, advice, and most of all – a fellow brother in Christ who is always there when I need someone to talk to. I am grateful to consider Jake as a friend and even family. I encourage The Gateway Pundit Readers to continue to donate to the J6Legal.org fund and SponsorJ6.com! They help those of us who have been stripped of the right to be be able to help ourselves.”

Jake would also like to extend a special thanks to Jim Hoft, Joe Hoft, Cara Castronuova, Alicia Powe, Brian Lupo and YOU – the entire TGP community that has been a cornerstone for the thousands of J6ers and their families who have suffered under the tyranny of the Biden regime. “May God bless you, and make His face shine upon you all. Thank you all for being true patriots!”

To continue to support the January 6 political prisoners, some of which have been incarcerated for over 1000 days without a trial, please become a much needed monthly commissary sponsor at SponsorJ6.com.
