“The First Man In History:” J6 Political Prisoner Edward Kelley Has A SHOCKING Message For President Trump And The American People – EXCLUSIVE

J6 Political prisoner, Edward Kelley, is still in solitary confinement despite President Trump’s sweeping pardons for J6 political prisoners in early 2025.

In August, 2025, just months after the President’s pardons, Kelley was sentenced to 80 years in prison for allegedly “conspiring to kill FBI agents,” he remains in prison along with Solomon Pena, another political prisoner and former GOP candidate in the 2022 midterms.

Pena was also sentenced to 80 years in August, 2025 for allegedly orchestrating a “politically motivated shooting spree,” following his electoral loss in 2022.

Kelley previously sent out an open letter, as reported by The Gateway Pundit, where he expresses frustration for being “abandoned” by the President. He also advocates for the release of both himself and Pena.

Back in July of 2025, a whistleblower even came forward and leaked a private conversation with the FBI, calling for “revenge” against Kelley. Is Kelley’s sentence merely just payback for something that the FBI didn’t like? If so, then that is a clear violation of Kelley’s civil rights.

Kelley himself confirmed that he has a Certificate of Pardon from President Trump in a shocking message to the American People:

“To all Americans and freedom-loving peoples,

I am the first man in history to hold in my possession a Certificate of Pardon from the President of the United States and yet still be in prison for the offenses that I am pardoned for. There are no words for the injustice that I felt when I was delivered that certificate of pardon today (Oct. 5th, 2026) in legal mail WHILE I AM STILL IN PRISON! Furious, betrayed, enraged, ignored, persecuted all combined in one still miserably fail to describe what I am thinking and feeling.

I am in the process of begging the appeals court to recognize that President Trump’s mass pardon of patriots, for all offenses stemming from and “related to” what happened at the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021, applies wholly to my case. I should not have to be doing that. Nobody at any level of the criminal justice system has the power or right to deny a presidential pardon. Yet people currently in the Department of Justice and the federal judiciary think that they can, sure as hell did and are getting away with it right now.

If my case is allowed to stand in the courts then the case of United States v. Edward Kelley will be used as legal precedent for generations to keep people imprisoned even if they are pardoned by the president. The pardon clause of the US Constitution will be almost completely voided by a federal judge that leaned on the non-constitutional and false precedent of ‘judicial interpretation’ to ignore my pardon and keep me imprisoned. All freedom loving people need to be something far beyond outraged by my case. People across America need to be mobilized for my freedom and the freedom of other patriots still persecuted and abandoned in the system.

This injustice against me and other patriots needs to end. President Donald Trump could end it tomorrow. I demand to know why he doesn’t.

Stay strong. Stay free. Above all else, stay faithful to God.”

The message was passed to The Gateway Pundit by Daniel Goodwyn, who is aligned with the StopHate, an organization that seeks justice for prosecuted victims in the aftermath of January 6.

President Trump promised to pardon all the J6ers of any wrongdoing and to “end a grave national injustice,” so then why are Kelley and Pena still in prison?

Kelley continues to fight for his freedom and remains a victim of the weaponization of the federal government. His message is clear, and there is still hope that justice will be served for him.

Iran War Day 222: U.S. Pulled Bombers From UK Base on Iran Attack Fears

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the U.S. withdrew its bombers from the British Fairford air base over the weekend because of concerns about a potential Iranian drone attack.

The withdrawal of about a dozen B-1 planes, which was first reported Sunday, followed British authorities announcing that several men had been arrested for plotting an attack on the base. The Post, citing a British official and “two people familiar with the decision,” said that the U.S. had received intelligence about potential attacks. Vice President J.D. Vance said the planes had been moved out of “an abundance of caution.”

Despite improved numbers of transits through the Strait of Hormuz, the Islamic Republic struck 11 ships in the past week. Iran has also been operating in the southeast of the country to suppress unrest from separatist elements in its Baluchistan province.

The Iran-aligned Yemeni Houthis claimed strikes on airports in the Saudi cities of Riyadh and Abha and in the Yemeni central government’s temporary capital of Aden.

Brent crude opened Wednesday at $101 per barrel. AAA reported continued easing in still-elevated consumer prices with national averages of $4.37 per gallon of regular gas and $6.30 per gallon of gasoline.

“F*ck You, B*tch!” – Newly Unsealed Police Bodycam Footage Shows 6-Year-Old Cursing Out Cops After Shooting His Teacher at Virginia Elementary School (VIDEO)

Newly unsealed police bodycam footage shows the shocking moments after a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher at a Virginia elementary school back in 2023.

In 2023, the Newport News Commonwealth’s prosecutor decided the 6-year-old boy who shot a Virginia school teacher wouldn’t face charges.

Richneck Elementary School teacher Abby Zwerner was hospitalized for two weeks after one of her students shot her in January 2023.

The family of the first grader said the child suffers from “acute disability and was under a care plan at the school that included his mother or father attending school with him and accompanying him to class every day.”

In April 2023, the mother of the child, Deja Taylor, was charged with “felony child neglect and a misdemeanor for leaving a firearm that could endanger a child,” WTKR reported.

The newly unsealed police bodycam footage is shocking.

The 6-year-old child cursed out police officers as they arrived at the scene of the crime.

An elderly female teacher had the child restrained on her lap when officers arrived.

“Ya’ll wanna f*ckin piece of me, bitch!” the child shouted as police officers entered the classroom. “F*ck you bitches!”

“That n*gga retired last year!” the boy shouted after the teacher said she had warned the assistant principal of a threat earlier.

“I called 911,” the teacher told police.

“F*ck you, bitch!” the boy said to the teacher who was holding him down on her lap.

“When you shot the gun, did anything hurt you?” the teacher asked the boy as she examined his hands.

“I stole that from my mom!” he shouted. “I shot my teacher!”

“What’s your name?” one of the officers asked the boy.

The child shouted at the officer: “If you wanna piece of me, come get it, bitch!”

Strike by 23 Staffers Leaves Blue-State Commuters Stranded – Too Bad State Fired 120 Staffers for Vax Refusal

Remember when the left wished the worst ills upon those who refused the vaccine mandate — including loss of job?

Also, remember the old idiom that you should be careful what you wish for, because you just may get it?

My guess is that the functionaries at Washington State Ferries don’t, or at least won’t recognize their lesson — because, after losing over 120 crew members due to vaccine mandates, they were brought to their knees by just 23 employees organizing a sick-out strike.

According to local NPR affiliate KUOW, “[t]housands of ferry riders in the Puget Sound region were left in the lurch Monday morning as major routes and dozens of sailings were canceled.

“Nearly two dozen engine room employees called out sick, according to the state, and backup crew declined to fill in. The union representing the workers said Monday’s shutdown highlighted Washington State Ferries’ failure to hire more staff.”

The outlet said that “dozens of sailings were upended Monday” due to the sick-out, with only a few boats in operation.

Washington State Ferries said on X that not only had the employees called out, but all employees qualified to keep the boats running declined to help out.

“All of the employees calling in sick, and declining to fill those vacancies, are represented by the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial Association (MEBA) who represent engine room employees,” WSF said.

As a result, all but five of the ships were out of service.

If only there was something they could have done to avoid this. Oh, wait:

Fact check: Accurate. From a 2022 Washington State Ferries workforce planning report:

First, the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated pre-existing labor shortages in the maritime labor market. An estimated 3.2 million workers nationwide left the labor market between 2019 and 2021, impacting every sector of the economy. Second, WSF was particularly hard hit by employees not complying with the state vaccine mandates. It lost 120 crew members or approximately 6% of its operational workforce. Not only is this nearly double the state employees’ rate of 3.2%, but the losses were also concentrated in critical occupations: 20 oilers and 40 temporary assistant engineers left their positions.

This sounds bad — and worse when you look at the numbers from a separate report on overtime analysis from 2021:

121 workers separated and 8 retired (60% of separations) 6.8% of WSF workforce stopped working because of the vaccine mandate … 11% of Oilers and 35.7% of Assistant Engineers separated.

Now, would any of these individuals made a significant difference? I doubt they would have hurt, particularly given the number of engine-room specialists that could simply bring WSF to its knees — just two-dozen.

Again, this is what the American left wanted in 2021 and 2022. They wanted people’s heads on a pike if they didn’t take an experimental vaccine. They got their wish, career-wise, at Washington State Ferries. And now we’re supposed to believe that they’re sorry, or at least care about staffing levels?

This is a government organization in one of the bluest corners in America — both in terms of politics and waterways that need to be straddled. Now, they get bit in the behind, years after the fact, by the mask-and-jab brigade, which has moved onto other, fresher causes.

Meanwhile, the language the Washington State Ferries information office used was telling, too. Who knows how long they’ve been operating barely above the very minimum Coast Guard requirements? Just look at that phrasing. Glad you managed to feel so safe from the unvaxxed, Seattleites. Sorry about your public transit system at all, but you know what they say about omelettes. Or you would, if you didn’t eat vegan eggs.

(VIDEO) Trump Doubles Down on Endorsement of Ken Paxton, Says He’s “The Best AG in the Country” and “Will be a Great Senator” as Leftwing Media Tries to Drive Rift

President Trump on Wednesday said he has “no regrets at all” about his endorsement of Ken Paxton after the media’s attempts to ruin his campaign for U.S. Senate through various leaks from closed-door meetings.  

Trump is also scheduled to hold a rally for Paxton in San Antonio, Texas, tonight.

The Texas Senate race has been rocked by a number of leaked audio recordings of Paxton during private events with GOP operatives, donors, and lobbyists, in which he candidly discusses his campaign. The knives are out for Paxton, but Trump isn’t turning his back on the star Texas Senate Nominee.

In one audio tape, Paxton said during a meeting with conservative donors and lobbyists late last month that the RNC midterm convention hurt him in the polls and that “everybody’s numbers dropped,” following the convention. An attendee recorded the comments at a private fundraiser in Washington and leaked the recording to the New York Times.

Still, Trump responded last Wednesday to the recording by brushing off the comments, defending the convention, and noting the massive viewership it generated.

“I haven’t heard that, but I can tell you that the convention was amazing. As you probably know, we had 107 million views,” he said. “The NFL had 25 million views, so we had four times what the NFL did.”

He went on to campaign for Paxton in Denton, Texas, the next day, unfazed by the recording.

This week, two more audio tapes emerged. In one, obtained by Politico, Paxton is heard telling donors that he has “little control” over his messaging and “it’s all coming from DC,” creating a challenge with getting his message out to regular Texas voters. The snippet appears to show Paxton expressing his frustrations with the national GOP and the current Senate Republican leadership trying to control him.

LISTEN:

In another tape, obtained by Axios, Paxton simply admits that his biggest obstacles in the race are the war in Iran and high gas prices, and explains his plan to alleviate voters’ concerns on the campaign trail. “I’m just trying to figure out ways that I can help people,” including “proposing legislation,” he said, while acknowledging that he can’t stop the war.

This is clearly a targeted campaign by the left-wing media and anonymous leakers to infiltrate and stop Paxton and drive a wedge between him and Trump. In the recordings, which are made out to be far more damning than they truly are, Paxton does not attack Trump or say anything negative about the Republican Party.

When asked if he has any regrets about endorsing Paxton in the primary race against RINO John Cornyn, Trump doubled down, praising the Texas Republican and saying, “not at all.”

“No, no, no, not at all,” Trump said, describing him as “the best, or certainly one of the few best, but the best attorney general in the whole country,” who “will be a great Senator.”

“I would have no regrets at all,” Trump added.

Another ISIS Sympathizer in Tim Walz’s Minnesota: FBI Arrests an 18-Year-Old Somali Suspect at Gunpoint After Plotting a Mass-Casualty Attack at Mall of America

Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud (Credit: DOJ)

Federal agents arrested Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud at gunpoint in the Twin Cities after he allegedly took possession of a rifle and ammunition he intended to use in a terrorist attack at the Mall of America.

According to Alpha News, which covered a U.S. Attorney announcement of a significant counterterrorism action in Minnesota on Wednesday, federal authorities have charged Mohamud with plotting a mass-casualty attack in support of ISIS at the Mall of America later this month. He allegedly hoped to kill “30 to 60 people.”

Reports of the federal case identify Mohamud as an 18-year-old Somali “American.”

The criminal complaint and 23-page affidavit of FBI Special Agent Keegan Rupenthal were unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Minnesota.

Mohamud is charged under 18 U.S.C. § 924(h) with knowingly receiving a firearm and ammunition on or about October 6, 2026, knowing or having reasonable cause to believe they would be used to commit a felony and a federal crime of terrorism, including providing, attempting to provide, and conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.

The weapon listed in the complaint is a Norinco AK-47, model Mac-90 Sporter, serial number 94145360, plus roughly 200 live rounds of 7.62×39 ammunition. The FBI rendered the rifle inert before the handoff. The ammunition was live. He never got the chance to use either.

According to the affidavit, the Minneapolis Joint Terrorism Task Force opened the case in December 2024 after Mohamud began trading hundreds of messages with a confidential human source on Telegram, Signal, Discord, TikTok, and later SimpleX. Handles included “@misterdoon,” “Mister Miser,” “mistermister,” “misterman240,” and a Discord account named “baaqiyah_31485,” “baaqiyah” being an ISIS slogan meaning the caliphate remains.

The source is described as a paid informant known to the FBI since 2017. Over 21 months Mohamud laid out the plan in his own words.

In January 2025, after Shamsud-Din Jabbar rammed a truck into a New Year’s crowd on Bourbon Street and killed 14 Americans, Mohamud called the attacker a “real muslim” and wrote, “May Allah grant him jannah.” When the source asked how school was going, he answered: “Its terrible man but i gotta keep doing it and if i fail its straight to just killin kuffar. And im already failing so if i dont pass in a yr ill probably save up for a gun.”

In March 2025 he was more explicit: “get a gun here and just start killing a bunch of white ppl (because a lot of white ppl are kuffar).” He said he would “just shoot a club,” but what he really wanted was to “fight in Somalia support the isis in puntland.” He also wrote that if he were jailed he feared being raped, so “if im gonna do it in america i better die in any way other than that.”

In May 2025, FBI agents tried to interview him at the family home. His mother, identified in the affidavit only as A.O. (year of birth 1978), said he was at school and would be back by bus. His father, A.M.W., told agents he would not talk and would hand their card to an attorney. The case kept running.

By December 2025 he was pledging the trip: “When i make hijrah insha Allah i will go to ISIS in somal no matter how tempting going to Al Shabaab is.” He sent Al-Kataib propaganda, al-Shabaab’s media wing, showing fighters, mortars, and the black flag. His Telegram account was banned, he said, because he was “in al shabab channels to watch the videos and news.”

Mall of America. Christmas. Then October 24.

The overseas plan collapsed over money. In July 2026 he told the source, “so i will do attack here,” and “if i do an attack here im not doing it for any worldly matter im doing for the sake of Allah only.”

The targets: “i might buy two pist. ols online and go to malll of america or valley fair on Minnesota on christmas time.” He broke up the word “pistols,” the affidavit notes, the way suspects try to dodge platform filters.

He then zeroed in on the Mall of America “because its owned by jewish [sic] so if i kill even 30 people noone would go there anymore. I want to harm the jew just like the brothers in australia bondi beach harmed the jews.”

He figured an assault rifle and “260 ammo” could kill “maybe 30-60 people insha Allah.” A bomb, he said, was “too complicated.” He would “drive straight to the crowded place and start shooting.”

He described himself to the source as a “5’11 dark somali guy” who would be “wearing green jacket,” and sent photos, one in a blue polo with a “Parking Patroller” logo, another in a black balaclava.

In September he moved the date. “I can’t wait until I kill kuffar man. October 24 is the day insha Allah.” The draw, he said, was a “Hmong Arts Celebration” at the mall: “yeah it’s a bunch of asians [sic] Chinese Vietnamese and other kuffar celebrating. it will be a lot of people.”

He told the source he had watched the Omar Mateen Pulse nightclub video and “i think i can do the same thing omar matteen did. i just walk in and shoot.” Mateen used 30-round magazines. Mohamud said he was “not complaining.”

He filmed a bay’ah, a pledge of allegiance, on what he said was his little brother’s iPad, face covered with a red-and-white keffiyeh, swearing loyalty to ISIS caliph Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi. The caption: “i made the video so dawlah know that i do attack, i give my allegiance to amir al mu’mineen Abu Hafs al Qurayshi.”

When the source pressed him on whether he was sure, Mohamud answered: “wallahi i want to do this, i am very serious i don’t care about anything in this world, i am 100% commited [sic] to the cause of dying for the sake of Allah only.” He said he had about $600 total, including “100 bucks for ammo,” and sent a video counting out $601 in cash.

On October 6, surveillance watched him leave his residence and meet the man he believed was the ISIS brother the source had introduced.

It was an FBI undercover employee. Inside a vehicle, audio- and video-recorded, Mohamud paid $600 cash. The agent counted it in front of him, confirmed he wanted an “AK,” and Mohamud said he did.

The agent told him he was an active member of ISIS and asked about the plan. Mohamud said he had looked at al-Shabaab, al Qaeda, and ISIS and settled on ISIS.

He said he would shoot a “kuffar festival” at the Mall of America, that part of the motive was Jewish ownership of the mall, and that he was angry about the treatment of Muslims after a May 18, 2026 shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego that killed three people.

He planned to wait nearby so his mother would not be home when he returned with the rifle.

He stepped out of the vehicle with the duffel bag. The FBI arrested him at gunpoint.

Remember this on Election Day: Iowa City Council Meeting Opens With Prayer to SATAN — Councilwoman Objects When Mayor Calls for Prayer to “Reverse” It

A man addressed the prayer to the “dark father,” which concluded with the words, “Hail Satan.

The moral decay forced upon America by radical leftists has reached a terrifying new low right in the heart of the Midwest.

An Iowa city council opened its regular meeting this week by standing for an invocation addressed to a “dark father,” praising the “luciferian impulse,” and closing with “Hail Satan.”

The City of Ottumwa’s official YouTube channel posted the October 6, 2026, regular meeting.

After the mayor called the 5:30 p.m. session to order and invited those who wished to participate in the invocation to stand, the scheduled speaker began: “Let us pray. Dear dark father, let us stand now unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds in darkened times.”

He continued by urging the room to “embrace the luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old,” to judge people by “concrete actions” rather than “arbitrary social norms,” and to hold “only to that which is demonstrably true.”

He closed with the line that set off the room: “It is done. Hail Satan.” The Pledge of Allegiance followed immediately.

The city’s own invocation schedule lists the October 6 speaker as Matthew Dalbey, organization “None.” Dalbey is also listed for September 1 and November 3. The schedule is posted on the city’s website.

The clip spread after it was posted by Libs of TikTok, which tagged the city’s official account.

WATCH:

The invocation did not pass without pushback.

During the official recording of the meeting, a man identified as Rick called on city leaders to “reverse that curse that was just put on our city,” referring to the invocation that ended with “Hail Satan” and an appeal to a “dark god.”

Cara Galloway objected, telling Mayor Ben Foote, “Yeah, Mayor, this should be done at EER at the end.”

Rick pushed back.

“I appreciate what Miss Galloway is saying, but that was a curse put on a city when he said, ‘Hail Satan’ and ‘oh dark god.’ Most of you know that, and we need to just stop and reverse it,” he said. “It needs to be done now.”

Mayor Ben Foote then called for 30 seconds of silence so those in attendance could pray or reflect.

Galloway immediately interrupted.

“No, we are at consent agenda. I’m sorry, but it’s time to move forward. The invocation happened,” she said.

Foote refused to be deterred.

“As the mayor of Ottumwa and the one running this meeting, I’m going to ask right now that we have a moment of silence to reflect on whatever it is we need to reflect on at this time, and then we will move to the consent agenda,” Foote said.

WHERE’S THE CREAM PUFF? Wackadoodle Democrat James Talarico Has Not Been Seen in Texas for 11 Days!

Screwball Democrat flees Texas and has not been seen in the Lone Star State since he left.

Where is James Talarico – He fled Texas days ago. – Ken Paxton image

Wackadoodle Democrat James Talarico has not been seen in Texas for 11 days!

Talarico went to New York to raise money from angry Robert DeNiro and Zohran Mamdani supporters and has not been seen in the Lone Star State since then.

Maybe he moved?

Republican savior Ken Paxton noticed his opponent for governor of Texas has been missing.

Ken Paxton wrote: “WATCH: James Talarico has been missing for 11 days. He was last seen in Texas on September 26th. While his campaign continues to lie to Texans, he is nowhere to be seen.”

Talarico also raised money from the gay Human Rights Campaign while in New York.

Maybe James is recruiting more Marxists?

Talarico also is very proud that his church promotes atheism. WTH is that?

It’s probably best that he stays away from Texas. The people there don’t typically gravitate two Marxists and unhinged actors.

Illegals Wanted for Stabbing NYPD Officer Nabbed in Massachusetts Basement

Image via New York Crime Stoppers

The Gateway Pundit reported that last week, off-duty NYPD detective Jose Mercedes was brutally attacked during a robbery attempt in broad daylight.

While Mercedes was clearing out the trunk of his car, two men on an e-bike approached him and reached for his gold chain.

Mercedes fought back and was brutally stabbed at least seven times to the neck and leg.

The accused slasher was identified as 25-year-old D’Angelo Caraballo, and his getaway driver was ID’d as 24-year-old Sneider Mejia.

Fox News’s Bill Melugin reported that both suspects are alleged to be Dominican illegals.

”I’m told by DHS sources that the two suspects wanted for attempted murder in connection to the stabbing & robbery of an off-duty NYPD detective in NYC on Friday are both Dominican illegal aliens who were caught and released at the AZ border by the Biden administration & both have lengthy criminal histories in NYC, including an ignored ICE detainer.”

The two have been on the run since the attack, but the officials announced the duo is in custody after being found in a basement in Massachusetts.

The Department of Homeland Security shared video of Detective Mercedes being released from the hospital.
