Month: January 2024

This is why the Biden administration has John Kirby handle the big boy briefings. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre appeared on MSNBC Monday morning without her ever-present binder to talk about Sunday’s deadly drone attack on U.S. troops in Jordan and the result was predictably embarrassing for the nation .

Three U.S. troops were killed and several dozen wounded in the drone attack early Sunday local time on a base in Jordan near the border with Syria that was claimed by the Iran-backed Islamic Resistance of Iraq.

Jean Pierre was speaking from the White House lawn in her appearance on Morning Joe where she attempted to convey the administration’s condolences.

Speaking without notes or binder, Jean Pierre put on a brave face as she struggled to string together coherent sentences.

Jean Pierre, “What I will say, our deepest, uh, obviously our deepest condolences uh, go out, and our heart, heartfelt condolences go out to the families who lost uh, three, three brave, uh, three brave, uh, three brave, uh, three folks who are, who are military folks who are brave who are always fighting, who were fighting on behalf and, of uh, this administration, of the American people obviously more so more importantly uh, we lost those souls as the President said yesterday when he was in South Carolina.”

In contrast, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby appeared on NBC’s The Today Show Monday morning and said, “Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this violence, certainly the families who got the worst possible news this weekend.”

Earlier this month, Axios reported on tension between Jean Pierre and Kirby over sharing the White House briefings (excerpt):

They share a podium — and a mutual frustration. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and the National Security Council’s John Kirby frequently split the podium at media briefings, but behind the scenes their relationship is fraught with tension, White House sources tell Axios.

Why it matters: As President Biden heads into a tough re-election campaign, his top-ranking spokespeople are at odds while navigating a situation in which there’s one press secretary in name but two in practice — one for domestic policy, the other for foreign policy.

Zoom in: Some of the tension stems from how much time each gets at the podium each day.

…In the more than 30 press briefings and gaggles since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, Jean-Pierre has briefed reporters solo just once — during a gaggle on Air Force One.

Jean Pierre also appeared on CNN on Monday where she did much better.

Not sure what caused Jean Pierre to get tongue-tied on MSNBC, but spokesmen get demoted or let go for such unprofessional presentations.

As Allie Beth Stuckey observed, ” Karin Jean-Pierre truly has no command of the English language. Whatever coherent thoughts she may have, she is completely unable to get them out of her mouth in a way that anyone can understand. It seems that the minimum requirement for a press secretary should be the ability to talk. She doesn’t have that. And when you have a perpetually discombobulated president, it’s especially important to have a spokesperson that can at least offer a semblance of clarity and confidence. Instead, KJP confirms everyone’s greatest fears about this administration: that it’s run by stupid, incompetent people with no patriotism and no grasp at all of any problem our nation is facing.”

American historian Howard Zinn once said, “If you don’t know history, it’s as if you were born yesterday. If you were born yesterday, then any leader can tell you anything.”

The American Museum of Natural History announced Friday that it will immediately close two halls showcasing Native American cultural artifacts in order to comply with updated federal regulations on repatriating indigenous remains and sacred objects to tribes, according to NBC News.

The museum is shutting down its Hall of Eastern Woodlands and Hall of the Great Plains, which together contain thousands of items related to Native American tribes. Smaller objects across other galleries will also be removed from public view, according to The New York Times.

In December, President Biden signed an executive order directing new support for tribal self-governance. One action called on the Interior Department to finalize updates to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, which President George H. Bush  signed into law in 1990.

That federal law enabled tribes to reclaim ancestral remains and cultural artifacts removed from tribal lands.

The revised rules require museums and federal agencies to get tribal consent before displaying Native American human remains and sacred objects.

The new regulations give museums five years to return all Native American remains in their collections and also require them to defer to tribes’ oral histories when determining which groups to send sacred cultural patrimony items back to, according to The Times.

Museum president Sean Decatur said in a letter to staff that “actions that may feel sudden to some may seem long overdue to others.” He also expressed regret for past museum practices that “did not respect the values” of Native peoples.

According to The Times, institutions are now required to “defer to the Native American traditional knowledge of lineal descendants, Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations.”

However, according to NBC, some tribal leaders worry meeting demands could burden communities that are also struggling to identify the origins of items obtained years ago. This makes determining which tribes to consult with difficult.

The American Museum of Natural History is not the only prominent cultural institution moving swiftly to close exhibits and remove indigenous artifacts in order to meet the requirements of recently revised federal repatriation regulations, according to Fox44 News.

Just this month, Chicago’s Field Museum announced it would cover several displays containing sensitive Native American items to conduct tribal consultations.

Harvard University’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology stated it aims to pull all Native American ancestral remains and funerary objects off exhibit for return to descendants and tribes.

The Cleveland Museum of Art has also taken steps to cover displays while it works to secure consent from tribes to show certain cultural artifacts.

The American Museum of Natural History gets 4.5 million visitors a year and is one of the most visited museums in the world.

While returning human remains may have merit even after thousands of years, the fact remains that many of these artifacts do not have any personal connection to existing tribes.

According to The Times, among articles now prohibited from view are a birchbark canoe of Menominee Tribe origins located in the Hall of Eastern Woodlands. Smaller objects are also stored away, including darts dating back 10,000 years and a Hopi katsina doll from modern-day Arizona.

“Some objects may never come back on display as a result of the consultation process,” Decatur said, according to The Times.

Museums are our record of history. They remind us where we once were and chart our path to where we are now.

Instead of allowing these items to be used as teaching tools to educate the next generation, Native American artifacts from The American Museum of Natural History will probably end up in some storage closet for decades while tribes try to decide where they belong and what their purpose used to be.

The younger generations could have visited those artifacts to understand and appreciate the people  who lived on this land and their cultures.

Instead, they will now be greeted with empty shelves and apologies.

A 39-year-old youth baseball coach is facing at least seven felony charges after being caught allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl by the girl’s mother.

One of those charges derives from the fact that Donovan Scott Sheppard told officials that he was HIV positive, according to an affidavit cited by KFOR in Oklahoma City.

According to those records, Sheppard had to be picked up by the woman with whom he was living after he’d gotten into a fight at a bar in nearby Moore, Oklahoma, on Jan. 13.

The woman then went to bed in her southwest Oklahoma City home, but found Sheppard raping the girl, her daughter, when she woke up.

She held Sheppard at gunpoint until police arrived and arrested him.

The young girl told police that Sheppard had raped her several times previously.

He was charged with three counts of first degree rape of a minor under the age of 14, but Fox News reported that the girl said he’d sexually assaulted her six other times while she was 11 or 12 years old, including one time on her 12th birthday. (Other sources said that she had been raped a total of six times, not six additional times.)

Sheppard is currently in Cleveland County Jail facing charges of lewd molestation, rape by instrumentation, exposing others to AIDS, pattern of criminal offenses, and the aforementioned three charges of first degree rape.

The Kansas City Star reported that Sheppard told police he did not wear a condom when he raped the victim.

His bond was set at $500,000, KFOR said, citing unspecified “records.”

Fox reported that Sheppard coached a youth baseball team called the Oklahoma Aftermath and had done so for “the last several years.”

Another southwest Oklahoma City minor was raped last October by a man posing as a minor on social media, KOCO reported at the time.

Police told the outlet that the 18-year-old man had communicated with his alleged victim through Instagram for weeks before picking the 14-year-old up from school, taking her to a nearby park and raping her multiple times.

He had claimed to be only 17.

The man, whom KOCO did not name in its report, was arrested and charged with “multiple sexual assault complaints.”

The Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy told the outlet that the rise of social media’s popularity has led to a rise in child predation on those platforms.

“We would encourage parents to be wary. Check your kid’s social media frequently. Some people feel it’s an invasion of privacy, but to keep these kids safe, you really have to know the conversations they’re having,” OICA CEO Joe Dorman told KOCO.

Al-Shabab terrorists post with weapons in Africa.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced on X that he will file suit against the Biden regime following the news that an Al-Shabab Islamic terrorist crossed over Biden’s open border and roamed free in the United States for nearly a year before his arrest.

Andrew Bailey tweeted this out on Monday.

AG Andrew Bailey: I didn’t serve in the United States Army during the War on Terror just to sit by and allow terrorists into our nation because Joe Biden refuses to secure the border. See you in court, POTUS.

The Daily Caller reported on Al-Shabab terrorist who was apprehended at the open southern border and then released inside the United States.

Federal authorities caught a terrorist at the U.S. southern border and released him into the country, where he roamed freely for nearly a year before being arrested in Minnesota just days ago, according to an internal federal memo exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The unnamed individual, who the memo only identifies as a member of the Somali terror group al-Shabaab, was released shortly after being caught illegally crossing the southern border near San Ysidro, California on March 13, 2023, according to the memo, which the DCNF is not publishing in order to protect the identity of a confidential source. The Terrorist Screening Center “deemed him a ‘mismatch’” after running his name through the terror watchlist, according to the memo, which was sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.

However, on January 18, 2024, the Terrorist Screening Center “made a redetermination” that the individual was “a confirmed member of al-Shabaab” and was involved in the use, manufacture or transport of explosives or firearms, the memo states. Two days later, ICE nabbed the al-Shabaab member in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Border Patrol caught 172 terror watchlist suspects attempting to enter the U.S. illegally during fiscal year 2023. Former homeland security officials say the constant deluge of illegal immigrants hitting the southern border is making it easier for bad actors to slip into the country.

Guest post by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò 

Allow me first of all to thank Dr. Francesco Toscano for the invitation to speak at this National Congress with a brief reflection, which I hope will help to direct your action to the service of the common good.

We are now facing an epochal threat, in the form of a coup d’état perpetrated by the globalist elite. This coup d’état has only recently appeared in full evidence, but the rambling statements of the participants in the Davos Forum that has just ended are the result of a subversive project carried out for decades. A project that is based on lies, blackmail, and corruption.

Lies. All the reasons given by the globalist network to legitimize their action are false, or rather: they are false pretexts that deliberately hide other unmentionable reasons.

There is nothing scientific or rational about the measures taken to address recent crises. Instead, there is a willingness to hide their criminal intentions behind flimsy arguments, in pursuit of which we only waste time and energy.

The pandemic farce, the crises in Ukraine and Palestine, global warming, and everything that in theory is said to justify the measures taken by governments, the European Union, and the United Nations against us, have the sole purpose of making any opposition impossible, in the name of emergencies that have been pre-planned down to the smallest detail.

Blackmail. In order to achieve the transition of the population to the globalist model in which everything is in the hands of the elite, the architects of the Great Reset act deliberately, step by step.

The first step is to place their “product” – because it is a product that they sell – alongside what we already have or can have by our own means. It can be Canadian GMO wheat that is combined with organic wheat from small farms, private healthcare combined with public healthcare, electric cars added to gas cars, smart working from a remote location combined with work in the office.

It appears that the new alternative – which has a cost in economic and human terms for the user – is not imposed but simply presented as a possibility. Once they have succeeded in introducing their “product,” they make sure that the first option we had is in fact unsustainable because it has become too expensive or hampered by EU regulations.

Obviously, cost increases are intentionally caused using crises and managed emergencies as the pretext. Thus we find ourselves no longer having, free of charge or at reasonable prices, the goods and services we previously had and we are forced to accept that we can only have their “product” – whose price and conditions of delivery they decide.

This transition is obviously a forced one, and it aims to take away the autonomy that we previously had. We can no longer choose whether to use a gas car, because only electric vehicles are allowed to operate in the city and a European standard prohibits the repair of old cars; we cannot eat natural foods, because the fields have been expropriated or the farms have been bankrupted or because the European Union pays them not to produce, or because trade agreements oblige us to import wheat from Canada and milk from New Zealand; we cannot schedule a test from the National Health Service, because cuts have been imposed on public spending in favour of private healthcare.

This is the mentality of blackmail: closing all possible escape routes from the globalist nightmare, to force us in the desired direction, in the name of an imaginary impending danger (the pandemic, used to force vaccinations; the Ukrainian crisis, used to increase energy costs; the declining birth rate, used to import cheap labor from the Third World with relative ethnic replacement).

Global warming, if we look at things from this perspective, appears as a colossal (false) pretext aimed at imposing the Agenda 2030, which results in a transfer of money from small and medium-sized enterprises to large financial groups, with impoverishment of the population and disproportionate profits for multinationals based in tax havens.

If you notice, this scheme is invariably used, even in areas that seem to escape the mercantile logic that moves these subversives. I am sure that all of you are aware of many cases in which these principles apply.

Lies and blackmail, then. But also corruption: because without the active cooperation of the political class, the media, the judiciary, the police, teachers, doctors, and even an ecclesiastical hierarchy that has become the servant of the elite, these lies and blackmail would not have been possible.

If you look at those who hold positions of government and who hold power at the highest levels of institutions today, you will find almost exclusively people from the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders for Tomorrow.

Klaus Schwab brazenly acknowledged this: “We have managed to infiltrate all Western governments.” How? With money, of course, because they create the money and even print it, since central banks are private companies headed by a few well-known investment funds and in turn chaired by members of the World Economic Forum.

BlackRock and Vanguard own the public debt of many nations, which they can also blackmail through rating agencies or through pressure from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Eurpoean Central Bank. And when the money doesn’t arrive, electoral fraud, show trials, “suicides” and accidents do.

You may wonder why an Archbishop would consider it necessary to address issues that apparently have no relation to the Faith. I think that, after the past few years, it has now become clear that we are facing an epochal attack, the aim of which is the establishment of a synarchy presided over by the Antichrist.

A world government, which they euphemistically call “global governance,” in which of course they will be in charge and we will obey or be socially or physically excluded.

In this subversive framework, all Western states, with very rare exceptions, are hostage to this network of subversives who believe themselves to be masters of the world and who have placed themselves at the service of the “prince of this world,” who is Satan.

What do Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, George Soros and all their accomplices and minions want? Evil. For evil to befall us, certainly. For indeed they consider us as the evil of the Planet, and in order to exterminate us they poison us in body and soul, because they see in us, in you, in your children, in the elder generation, the work of God, in Whose Image and Likeness we have been created.

This is what Dennis Meadows, a member of the Club of Rome from which the World Economic Forum was formed, tells us, among others, when he theorizes the reduction of the world population to one billion people, candidly acknowledging that 87.5% of the current inhabitants of the planet will have to be eliminated through civil wars, famines, pestilences and sterility (here).

And if the sterility induced by drugs and adulterated foods were not enough, there is the LGBTQ agenda and gender ideology, through which the elite favors the homosexualization of society and introduces the possibility of submitting children to gender transition interventions from their earliest years, with the complicity of corrupt legislators ready to revoke parental authority from those who will not submit to having their children mutilated.

The insistence on the sexualization of children carried out by the UN and the WHO, along with the proposals to lower the age of consent and to decriminalize pedophilia, has the disturbing result of providing fresh meat to the network of perverts, the numerous guests of Epstein’s island, people who infest the top levels of many institutions and as such are easily blackmailable.

This is a battle that cannot be fought with exclusively human weapons, because spiritual powers are taking part in it that feed on hatred of God, of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and of human beings, whom they envy because, unlike demons, they merited to be redeemed by the Incarnation of the Eternal Son of the Father.

These powers also hate Creation, which the Lord has made freely available to us. It is gratuitously available, because God’s work is gratuitous, the fruit of magnificence and generosity, while everything that comes from the devil has a price, it is a commodity to be exchanged, something that can be bought and sold.

You, dear friends, must clearly understand what is at stake for our society and above all for the world in which our children will live. It is not a question of fleeing from one nation plunged into dictatorship while the rest of the world is free, because it is now the whole Western world that has been turned into a concentration camp in which people who have not been elected are in charge, people who should be locked up forever in prison for their crimes. We cannot escape elsewhere, but rather we must fight for our own survival, here and now.

So how can you resist? How can we effectively oppose this hateful dictatorship? Certainly not with the blunt weapons that our enemy would like us to use: it would be like taking the field armed with arrows against tanks.

Not with old ideologies created on purpose because they would fail, such as communist collectivism on the one hand and liberal individualism on the other. Not with the idols of a false freedom and democracy, broken toys that have allowed the Masonic lodges to subvert the social order, making people believe that they can do without God by deifying the state, the individual, or both.

I would like to emphasise here an element that I believe is very important in order to understand the extent of the attack we are experiencing. The “masterstroke” of the New World Order consists in having brought together, in an infernal alliance, Liberalism and Communism (two sides of the same Masonic coin) to its advantage.

On the one hand, by restricting the positive intervention of the state, which offers citizens free of charge or at non-market rates those services that the elite wants to privatize in order to make a profit; on the other hand, by using the coercive force of a supranational socialist regime to distort competition with small and medium-sized enterprises and to reduce labour costs. In a sense, the elite has succeeded in ousting the state from its natural role in favor of a super-state that acts not in the interests of the collective, but of the elite itself.

This, ultimately, is the role of the European Union and the U.S. federal government, both in the hands of the deep state.

To fight the enemy according to his falsified rules is absurd and ruinous. Fight him rather by contrasting lies with Truth, vile blackmail with the will to do Good, corruption with honesty. Saint Paul also tells us: Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Rom 12:21).

And in this epochal struggle, in this clash between Light and darkness, even those who are not Christians can be your allies, if with honesty and courage they understand that the very foundations of the Law of Nature, respect for the sacredness of life, the defense of the natural family, the right of parents to educate their children, and the protection of property, labor and business, are all in danger.

Our apparent weakness, our disorganization, our means which are incomparably inferior to those available to the globalist elite may even be strengths, because they allow us to escape their control. We need to act outside the box, creating local, national and international networks that allow us to present a common front against the common enemy.

We need to rediscover the pride of our civilization, of our culture, of our Faith, of our ability to rise again in the midst of difficulties thanks to our ingenuity and our hope, thanks to which we do not allow the future to be snatched away from us by those who are attempting to destroy our present after having erased our past.

Be strong, dear Friends! And do not be intimidated by those who want you to believe on the basis of a colossal fraud that everything is decided and irrevocable. We are not laboratory guinea pigs that a mad scientist observes as they scurry through a maze: this is the vision of those who do not know how to love, indeed of those who only know how to hate, of those who do not understand that man is capable of acts of heroism for the sake of the Love of God and of his brothers and sisters; of those who do not want to recognize that the Lord is truly Omnipotent, and that the destinies of the world and of History are in His hands; a history in which, let us not forget, God accompanies and protects us as Our Father.

The dystopian world of slavery and death that the globalist delirium wants to build can be avoided if we know how to unite under the Cross of Christ. For it is only before the Cross that these wicked people lose all power and show themselves for what they really are.

A final recommendation, which I make to you as a Pastor: do not give in to the mentality of the world, which would like to make you ashamed of your honesty, your rectitude, and your religion, as if they were defects to be hidden. It is rather dishonesty, moral corruption, selfishness, and vice that ought to be ashamed.

Do not be ashamed to be people who love the Lord, who pray, who sacrifice, who struggle. Because it will not be Klaus Schwab, George Soros, or Ursula von der Leyen who will judge you, but the Lord who said to us: Have confidence, I have overcome the world (Jn 16:33).

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi faced an unexpectedly hostile reception at the AFC Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens.

Despite her longstanding support for the Ravens, Pelosi was met with boos from fans upon her arrival at the stadium, the Daily Mail reported.

Accompanied by her husband, Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi stepped out of a black SUV on Sunday afternoon, ready to watch the highly anticipated game. A security guard attempted to keep the crowd in check, but the sounds of boos were clearly heard as the couple, both avid Ravens supporters, made their way into the venue.

The unwelcoming greeting contrasted with the Pelosis’ personal investment in the team.

Last year, after Paul Pelosi was the victim of a violent attack at home, one of his initial remarks upon regaining consciousness centered on the Ravens’ victory. Nancy Pelosi recounted to CNN that his first words were a cheerful note about their favorite team’s success.

“The first thing he said: ‘Oh, your mother’s going to be very happy because the Ravens won last night,’” Pelosi said. “Baltimore, you know, I have Baltimore connections.”

A native of Baltimore, Pelosi’s long-standing representation of San Francisco has often put her in a position of split loyalty between the Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, per the Daily Mail.

The Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious against the Baltimore Ravens with a score of 17-10 in their recent matchup. This win has led the Chiefs to secure a spot in the Super Bowl.

The game was highlighted by Pfizer-sponsored Travis Kelce’s performance for the Chiefs, with 11 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown, significantly contributing to their victory.

The Kansas City Chiefs will be competing against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. The game is set to take place in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium. The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 11, 2024.

In a surprising turn of events, the ‘bittwersweet’ triumph by the Japanese Space Agency JAXA has taken a turn for the better, as the SLIM spacecraft has regained power.

The module performed a historical and very precise lunar landing a a little over a week ago, but ran out of electricity because it ‘ended up upside down in the moon surface’, with solar panels facing the wrong direction.

Read: Japan’s SLIM Lands on Lunar Surface, but a Problem in the Sun Panels Will Cut the Mission Dramatically Short

But on late Sunday (28), JAXA finally re-established communication with its Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM).

The spacecraft touchdown made Japan the fifth country to put a spacecraft on the moon, after the Soviet Union, the US, China and India.

The probe was able to generate power again thanks to a change in the sunlight’s direction, JAXA said.

Reuters reported:

“!SLIM resumed its operations to analyze the composition of olivine rocks on the lunar surface with its multi-band spectral camera, in search of clues about the origin of the moon, the agency added.

SLIM touched down on the moon within 55 m (180 ft) of its target in a crater near the lunar equator on Jan. 20. JAXA said it proved an advancement in what it called vision-based ‘pinpoint’ landing – a technology that could be a powerful tool for future exploration of hilly moon poles seen as a possible source of fuel, water and oxygen.

SLIM lost the thrust of one of its two main engines shortly before the touchdown for unknown reasons and ended up drifting a few dozen meters away from the target. The lander safely stopped on a gentle slope but appeared toppled with an engine facing upward in a  picture taken by a baseball-sized wheeled rover it deployed.”

Read: Waiting for the Sun: Solar Cells Face the Wrong Direction, Japanese Slim Lander ‘Put to Sleep’ on the Moon – Sunshine From the West May Salvage Mission

SLIM’s solar panels ended up facing westward and could not immediately generate power. JAXA turned off the dying battery 2 hours and 37 minutes after the touchdown, as soon as it completed the transmission of the lander’s data to the earth.

JAXA has said that the lander was not designed to survive a lunar night, which begins on Thursday.

The Guardian reported:

“The probe, nicknamed the ‘moon sniper’, had tumbled down a crater slope during its landing on 20 January, leaving its solar batteries facing in the wrong direction and unable to generate electricity.

[…] ‘Last evening we succeeded in establishing communication with Slim, and resumed operations’, Jaxa said on Monday. ‘We immediately started scientific observations with MBC [multi-band camera], and have successfully obtained first light for 10-band observation’, it said, referring to the lander’s spectroscopic camera.”

The lander achieved the historical goal of landing within 100 meters of its target, touching down only 55 meters away, more precisely than the usual landing zone range that experts put at several kilometers.

There is a lot of talk about Michelle Obama being the Democrat nominee for the Presidency. Joe Biden has shown no signs of leaving. So how do the Democrats make this happen? The reality is, they already prepared for it. Party rules make it easy to insert whoever they want as the nominee come convention time in August. This podcast explains the rules that few people know exist. Those rules allow party elites to pick their choice over the peoples choice. There is only one problem, they have to get Joe Biden out of the way. They have a plan for that too!

Does Michelle Obama want the job? The answer is yes. We uncovered the audio from Michelle herself, that proves she will be the next shadow president for her husband. We can not allow Barrack Obama to call the shots for another 4 years.

Janet Mello, 57, biled the US Army of millions she said was for military families and kids. She was able to retire from her civil service job with full benefits during investigation of her shell company. screengrab

Janet Mello, the multi-millionaire con-woman who biled the US Army out of over $100 million meant for military families and their children will keep her full military retirement benefits.

Mellow is accused of using ill-gotten money to buy 80 supercars and 31 homes. The money was meant to help military families and kids. Mellow had homes in Colorado, New Mexico, Maryland, and Washington.

The Daily Mail reported:

A millionaire conwoman accused of scamming the US Army out of $100million has been allowed to retire with full benefits – despite being under criminal investigation.

Janet Yamanaka Mello is accused of using ill-gotten money to buy 80 supercars and 31 homes.

She was arrested in December but pleaded not guilty and is due to return to court in February.

In the meantime, her sweet set of civil servant retirement perks remains unfrozen.

The military admitted there was nothing they could do to strip it from her because she was protected under a federal law that was held up in government bureaucracy…

…Mello has nearly 80 vehicles and 31 properties across five states up for forfeiture – as federal prosecutors allege she lived a life of luxury and opulence that was clearly not supported by her $130,000 a year government salary.

She reported that her company CHYLD earned a profit of $483 on revenue of $2,152 for training consultations in 2017. But since then, she has not filed any tax returns.

She regularly filed fraudulent paperwork – and deposited grants into her fake business 40 times, securing over $100,000,000 for herself, documents allege.

Our reporting was based on a redacted police report describing how Muskegon City Clerk Meisch encountered a woman dropping off 8,000 – 10,000 completed voter registration applications. Meisch found this unusual since the voting population in Muskegon at the time was around 30,000 individuals so she immediately reported this to authorities.  The Gateway Pundit reported that the “registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers.”

An investigation found that the woman who turned in the fraudulent ballot registrations worked for GBI Strategies, a Democrat-funded group with operations across the state.

GBI Strategies was funded by dark money super PAC ‘BlackPAC,’ who paid them $11,254,919 to register voters for Joe Biden.

The Gateway Pundit reported that during the investigation, the police found guns, burner phones, pre-paid cash cards, and incomplete registrations at a defunct eyeglass store where GBI Strategies had set up operations in the state.  GBI was operating in several locations around the state.

Here is the EXPLOSIVE report by The Gateway Pundit published last fall.

NOW WE HAVE PROOF! TGP EXCLUSIVE: Massive 2020 Voter Fraud Uncovered in Michigan – Including Estimated “800,000 Ballot Applications Sent to Non-Qualified Voters” – Bags of Pre-Paid Gift Cards, Guns with Silencers, Burner Phones, and a Democrat-Funded Organization with Multiple Temporary Facilities in Several States

We now know that the investigation was sent to the FBI where it died a slow death. When The Gateway Pundit released our report in August 2023, Attorney General Nessel announced days later after her original silence that she would send it to the FBI – again.

It should be noted that NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON was arrested for this massive multi-state ballot registration fraud involving THOUSANDS of fake registrations!
** Chris Wray has ignored this massive scandal to this day!
** Bill Barr reportedly killed the investigation at the time!

2.) The #DetroitLeaks training sessions

The #DetroitLeaks Tapes: Democrats in Michigan were caught on audio training poll workers in Detroit to commit voter fraud in a variety of ways.

The #DetroitLeaks reports revealed that Detroit poll workers who were trained in how to lie, trained on how to handle ballot challenges from Trump supporters, told to call 911 on any challengers and to use COVID as an excuse to deny poll challengers access to view the ballots as they were being counted and tabulated.

Here’s the #DetroitLeaks video that was captured by an undercover conservative reporter during a training session prior to the 2020 election.

The series of leaks also revealed that even challenged ballots would be processed as regular ballots. Incoming State Representative Steve Carra and Michigan activist Bob Cushman filed a successful lawsuit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over the explosive allegations that poll workers were being trained in how to commit voter fraud.

This report was banned from YouTube, Twitter, and other social media platforms. It was too explosive.  Democrats were caught redhanded training poll workers how to cheat in the 2020 election for Joe Biden.

Multiple independent witnesses have approached the Gateway Pundit and confirmed that the predictions from #DetroitLeaks were accurate and that the counting of ballots for Wayne County/Detroit at the TCF Center (aka Cobo Hall) was by poll workers who refused challenges from GOP poll challengers, used COVID as an excuse to deny access to review the process, tabulated challenged illegal ballots, and fulfilled this voter fraud prophecy.

Bill Barr and Chris Wray did nothing to investigate these planned and coordinated voter fraud training sessions. The Gateway Pundit believes similar actions may have been used in other states.

3.)  In a coordinated act, battleground states quit counting ballots on election night

On Election night in November 2020 President Trump was soundly defeating Joe Biden. Trump was crushing Joe Biden in the battleground states.

Then, something took place that Americans had never experienced in over 200 years of its existence. News broke that the battleground states were going to quit counting votes for the night. This had NEVER taken place in US history.

AMUSE reposted this video compilation on Sunday.

On Election night President Trump went out to speak to supporters. He had won the election. But then suddenly the battleground states announced they had stopped counting. President Trump told his supporters, “This is a fraud. This is an embarrassment to our country.”

Overnight, Democrats dumped hundreds of thousands of mysterious votes for Joe Biden into the battleground states. There was collusion. Four days later even Pennsylvania, where they locked the doors on the counting rooms and prevented Republican observers from entering, had gone to Joe Biden. Trump was ahead in the state by nearly 800,000 votes on Election night!

Flashback: On Election Night Chris Wallace Said Election Workers in MI, PA, WI, NC, GA and NV Had to Stop Counting Because They’re “Normal People” Who “Need to Sleep”

This was classic election fraud. The entire country knew it then and knows it now. The pretenders in the fake news immediately started pushing the notion that Joe Biden, who never held an honest rally the entire election season, had captured 81 million votes. It was the greatest crime in US history.

So what happened? And who made the call to the swing states to quit counting?

We will never know because Chris Wray from the FBI and AG Bill Barr never investigated this criminal act.

Today we are starting to understand Attorney General Bill Barr‘s role in this historic criminal act.

4.) The FBI and DOJ hid the Biden family crimes from the American public despite holding onto Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” since 2019.

Hunter and Joe Biden golfing wit

The FBI knew Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell was authentic in 2019 but lied to social media companies so the story would be censored during the 2020 election to help Joe Biden.

The House Ways and Means Committee reported in 2023:

In October 2019, the FBI became aware that a repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that the laptop might contain evidence of a crime. The FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID.

According to testimony from Laura Dehmlow, the Section Chief of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), the FBI deliberately lied to social media companies about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop to protect Joe Biden.

In the 9 months leading up to the 2020 election, the FBI met over 30 times with social media platforms — all while in possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop.

In one of the meetings, somebody from Twitter essentially asked whether the laptop was real.

“One of the FBI folks who was on the call did confirm that, “yes, it was,” before another participant jumped in and said, “no further comment,” Dehmlow said.

There it is.

BIG BREAKING NEWS

Testimony reveals the FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop was authentic, but when asked by a social media company about the laptop’s authenticity the FBI said “no further comment.”

The rest is history. pic.twitter.com/LzjS5cSBS6

— House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) July 20, 2023

51 top intel officials also lied about the laptop from hell.

Chris Wray and Bill Barr hid this from the American public knowing it could sway the election and put a quick end to President Trump’s bogus first impeachment. No one has faced any disciplinary action for this major fraud perpetrated on the American public.

5.)  The FBI and DOJ refused to investigate the Ballot Box stuffing operations by Democrats

In June 2022, former AG Bill Barr laughed hysterically when he was asked about the evidence of voter fraud presented by “2000 Mules” during his pre-recorded testimony at the Jan 6 show trial.

“Uh, the election was not stolen by fraud. And I haven’t seen anything since the election that changes my mind on that, including the ‘2000 Mules’ movie,” Barr said as he laughed hysterically.

Barr cited the lack of photographic evidence. And then mocked the geo-tracking cell phone data.

Clearly, Bill Barr has no idea how geo-tracking works or about the precision of the data obtained by the True the Vote investigators.

The Gateway Pundit and 100 Percent Fed Up with the help of the investigative team at Mc4EI, released several videos showing individuals jamming multiple ballots into drop Detroit, Michigan boxes as well as two close-up videos of individuals who appear to be signing the envelopes of other people’s ballots during the 2020 election. This footage was obtained by The Gateway Pundit.

Here is one of the videos we released of ballot box stuffing in Detroit.

In the video below, a man dressed in street clothes exits the front passenger seat of a postal worker’s truck and stuffs a stack of ballots into the absentee ballot drop box in Detroit. In a second video taken on the same day, the same man exits the passenger side of the USPS truck and delivers an even larger stack of ballots into the slot of the drop box. In this video, you can clearly see he is recording the drop on his cell phone in his left hand.

This one’s for you Bill Barr…

Watch:

On October 29, a US Postal worker can be seen making 4 trips to the Liberty Center satellite voting center in Detroit. The final trip was made in a private vehicle. Although the people making the deliveries are not the same, the number on the front of the US Post Office vehicle is the same!

On April 20, Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit and Patty McMurray of 100 Percent Fed Up interviewed Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips to ask about the incredible work they did to uncover a massive coordinated criminal ring that was spread across several critical swing states Trump won in 2016, but curiously, lost in 2020.

Thanks to the hard work and commitment of the Michigan Citizens For Election Integrity (MC4EI) and their team, who poured over hours of dropbox footage, the Gateway Pundit and 100 Percent Fed Up were able to provide footage from the drop boxes in Detroit to True the Vote to be used in the “2000 Mules” movie.

Bill Barr scoffed at this likely criminal act. Chris Wray ignored it.

6.) United States Postal Service (USPS) was transporting trailers full of completed ballots from New York to swing state Pennsylvania

Election fraud whistleblowers came forward in December 2020 following the controversial election, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October 21 2020.

The information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.

The Amistad Project said at the time that they had sworn declarations that over 300,000 ballots were issued in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania.

They said that their evidence reveals multi-state illegal efforts by USPS workers to influence the election in at least three of six swing states.

The whistleblower statements included potentially hundreds of thousands of completed absentee ballots being transported across three state lines and a trailer filled with ballots disappearing in Pennsylvania.

Attorney Phil Kline said, “130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were shipped from Bethpage, NY, to Lancaster, PA, where those ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared.”

Truck driver Jesse Morgan was present at the press conference and spoke for 9 minutes about his unbelievable ordeal. Morgan was tasked with delivering completed ballots to Pennsylvania from New York State.

The Gateway Pundit later discovered that rather than investigate this massive alleged crime, US Attorney General Bill Barr called up investigator Tony Shaffer and KILLED the investigation!  He never lifted a finger to investigate this enormous act of election fraud!

In June 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported that the United States Postal Service investigated the allegations by the truck drivers – but they would NOT release their report.

The American Thinker reported in 2023 that the USPS finally released their report on the accusations of truck drivers hauling completed ballots across state lines into Pennsylvania before election day!

he Post Office Inspector General (OIG) acknowledged that a contractor in Rochester, New York printed 650,000 general election ballots that went to Pennsylvania. Of the total, 450,000 went to Philadelphia County and 200,000 went to Chester County.

Jesse Morgan was exonerated. No wonder they hid this for over a  year!

The USPS was running ballots!

Rather than investigate this massive criminal act, Bill Barr screamed at investigator Tony Shaffer for looking into the USPS ballot trafficking scandal and FBI agents working for Chris Wray harassed the whistleblowers!

7.)  The State Farm Center ballot stuffing operation 

The FBI report on the late night ballot fraud operation at the State Farm Center implicates Chris Wray and exonerates Rudy Giuliani.

As reported in December 2023 – Chris Wray’s FBI, along with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office, released a report in June 2023 where they announced that they “did not uncover any violations” during their investigation of the late-night ballot counting at The State Farm Center in Atlanta, Georgia on Election Day November 3, 2020.

According to the report, “Teams of investigators from the FBI, GBI, and Georgia SOS conducted independent and simultaneous interviews of Fulton County elections workers who were involved in the processing and scanning of absentee ballots at State Farm Arena on Election Night on November 3, 2020. Investigators from the three law enforcement agencies also reviewed the entire unedited security video footage of the events in question at State Farm Arena. SOS investigators independently interviewed party observers who were present at State Farm Arena that evening.”

They say they did not uncover any violations or evidence of wrongdoing. That’s because they hid it from their report.

The interviews for this investigation took place back in December 2020 following the November 2020 election.

According to the FBI-GBI report, the “bulk of the investigation appears to have been conducted in December 2020 and January 2021, but both the State Election Board and the Georgia Secretary of State’s office was backed up reviewing claims.”

Again, the report was just released in June 2023 by Chris Wray’s FBI and the GBI in Georgia – along with Georgia SOS Brad Raffensperger. It appears that there was no new information in the report other than what was known in December 2020, so it begs the question – Why did it take three years for Chris Wray’s FBI to release the report?

Several election officials went back to the State Farm Arena and they began counting ballots late at night without observers present. According to the Georgia Republican Party at the time, this was unlawful activity.

Tweets from GA GOP Chair David Shafter following the 2020 presidential election and irregularities at the State Farm Center in Georgia.

Joe Hoft, who is a contributor at The Gateway Pundit, first released video at the time exposing election workers at the State Farm Center on Election night shoving stacks of ballots through the machines multiple times late at night without any election observers in the room.

In one instance, the stack of ballots was fed through one machine three times by operator Ruby Freeman, and that same stack of ballots was then fed through another machine by-election worker Ralph Jones. The same stack of ballots went through the machines at least four times!

Here again, is video of the election workers pulling hidden ballots out from under a draped table, jamming the ballots through the machines multiple times.

** It should be noted that this was not just happening at one table but at multiple tables.

* * * * * * * * * *

Following the 2020 presidential election,  Rudy Giuliani and The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft and Joe Hoft were sued by two election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Shae Moss, her daughter.  The two women claim that they were threatened after Rudy Giuliani, Jim, and Joe reported on their illicit activities late at night on November 3, 2020.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft discussed the case with a very prominent attorney in December 2023. We were advised to review the report released in June by Chris Wray’s FBI, GBI, and the Georgia Secretary of State’s office.

And what we found was clear-cut dishonesty by Chris Wray’s FBI and Georgia’s Brad Raffensperger.

Chris Wray’s FBI, the GBI and GA SOS interviewed the individual who created the fake Ruby Freeman social media page and published totally fabricated posts that allegedly were put up by Ruby Freeman.

(For the record, The Gateway Pundit did not post these social media reports at the time because they were completely over the top. We knew they were likely fake.)

Here is what is interesting: The FBI interviewed the “man” who created the fake Ruby Freeman account, but they NEVER named him in the report. His name was redacted for some reason?

 From the report:

“He created the @rubyfreeman Georgia account but did not write the specific post regarding tampering with the 2020 election,” according to the FBI report.

“On December 4, 2020, he came across Instagram user “@[redacted] who posted the supposed confession by Freeman. Shortly thereafter, @[redacted] changed their account name to @rubyfreeman_georgia. That account holder subsequently changed the account name to “rubyfreeman_georgia. The account was later made private, and then deleted. [redacted] created a new @rubyfreeman_georgia account and described his account as being a fake or parody account.”

FBI report page 9

FBI report page 9

The FBI did not arrest the man, as far as we know. Why not? 

Who is this man?  Why was his name redacted?

Why was the second man’s name redacted? Why was the second man not arrested?

The “Investigative Findings” or conclusion of the FBI, GBI, and GA SOS report omits the most important accusations!

The Gateway Pundit was the first to report that the election workers, Ruby Freeman, Shae Moss, Ralph Jones, and others, were shoving stacks of ballots through the machines numerous times.  There is a video of Ruby taking a stack of ballots and shoving the ballots through the machines three times!  There is a video of Ralph shoving that same stack of ballots through his machine after they were fed through Ruby’s machine.

There is also proof that Ruby was operating the machine despite not being qualified to operate it!  How is that legal?.

After a three-year investigation — Chris Wray and the FBI DO NOT EVEN MENTION THIS in their Investigative findings.

The FBI DID NOT include one word in their conclusion on the numerous election workers double and triple feeding ballots through the voting machines late at night after the election observers were sent home!

The FBI omitted any mention of the most important evidence of a crime in their report!

It is clear from their actions that the FBI was in on the cover-up.

And now they got caught.

Page 9 of the FBI report
Page 10 of the FBI report

They don’t even mention that the ballots were fed through the machines numerous times!

They are lying by omission.

Throughout the 2020 election and its aftermath it was obvious that Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray were not going to lift a finger to protect the integrity of US elections.

We saw it when Bill Barr shut down the USPS ballot scandal.
We saw it when the DOJ-FBi allowed GOP observers to be locked out of the counting rooms in the battleground states.
We saw it when Bill Barr mocked the presence of ballot mules dropping dozens of ballots in unguarded ballot drop boxes.
We saw it when there was no investigation of the mysterious late-night ballot drops.
We saw it when they ignored the curious drop-and-roll method used in the swing states.
We saw it when the battleground states all announced they were shutting down their counting for the night on election night for the first time in history.
And now we see it in this completely disingenuous report by the FBI on the State Farm Center ballot stuffing operation.

Bill Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray covered-up the most glaring evidence of election fraud in 2020 – the State Farm Center late-night ballot stuffing scandal. Wray and Barr published a dishonest report and lied to the American public.

This is just a partial list of Bill Barr and Chris Wray’s actions before, during and after the 2020 election.

Bill Barr played a major role in the scheme to remove President Trump by any means necessary.

8.) This week The Gateway Pundit will release new evidence that will blow the lid off of the Big Lie of the 2020 election.

Stay tuned…
