    • Preeminent George Mason University researcher stabbed to death, son in custody
      WUSA9 – Streamed live on March 3, 2022

      Fairfax County police identified Dr. Michael Buschmann, 59, a pre-eminent researcher at George Mason University, as the victim of a fatal stabbing on Wednesday night.

In this case it seems Mr. Macaroni needs more production out of the population so extends retirement eligibility. Maybe pushing less socialism would have done the trick much better.

  10. Empire State Shilling: Manhattan DA’s Office is Exporting Prosecutors for Jan 6 Cases —MORE POLITICAL TROPHY HUNTING
    By Kelly Wilde Mar. 20, 2023 8:30 am0 Comments

    The same Manhattan DA’s office threatening to upend the republic this week with a bogus indictment of President Trump is exporting activists to prosecute the January 6 defendants in Washington DC.

    Carolina Nevin —a backbencher from Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan District Attorney’s office —has been exclusively prosecuting J6 defendants since arriving at the US Attorney’s office in September 2022. (Her only publicity after nine years in New York came from prosecuting NYPD officers while violent crime surged in the city.)

    Nevin’s true tutelage was under former Manhattan DA Cy Vance, whose controversy-plagued office made a reputation of giving a pass to the rich and famous —downplaying Jeffrey Epstein’s well-documented depravity, and sweeping Harvey Weinstein rape claims under the rug after receiving more than $20,000 in campaign donations from Weinstein’s defense attorneys, among other scandals.

    New York prosecutors throw out Constitution to charge Manafort

    Even more prescient, Nevin’s training at the Manhattan DA’s office was overindulgent in the selective prosecution of Trump and associates —while felony prosecutions dwindled, low-level charges near disappeared, and crime in the city blossomed like a summer Magnolia since her start there in 2013.

    In what could easily describe Nevin’s prosecutorial playbook against everyday Trump supporters in real-time today, constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley explains the Manhattan DA’s eyebrow-raising case against Paul Manafort in 2019 (one of many Trump allies who were hunted by Vance’s office, which took Donald Trump to the Supreme Court on two occasions while dismissing riot-related felonies amid widespread unrest).

    In an article titled “New York prosecutors throw out Constitution to charge Manafort” Turley wrote:

    • Steel Barricades Placed Outside of Manhattan DA Office
      By Anthony Scott Mar. 20, 2023 10:20 am156 Comments

      CBS reporter Robert Costa took to Twitter on Monday morning and uploaded a video that shows NYPD officers placing steel barricades all around the Manhattan DA’s office.

      On Sunday, Costa made an appearance on Face the Nation and stated the DA of Manhattan Alvin Bragg has previously told his colleagues he will do everything to keep his colleagues safe so the barricades outside of Manhattan could be a request from Bragg himself.

      Watch NYPD set up the barricades here:

      Some barricades have yet to be deployed:

      The heightened security comes after Attorney Robert Costello, who was previously a legal adviser to disgraced attorney Michael Cohen, is expected to testify before a Grand Jury on Monday.

      It is expected Costello will refute Cohen’s claims against Trump because Cohen has been told to get ready as a rebuttal witness.

      Many conservative voices have warned Trump supporters to stay away from any protests outside of the Manhattan DA’s office due to possible agent provocateurs lurking around the scene.

      On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit reported “Republican” Presidential candidate John Castro has called for his supporters to bring bats outside of the Manhattan DA’s Office to put Trump supporters “in their place.”

      https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/steel-barricades-being-placed-outside-of-manhattan-da-office/

    • (Richard: If Trump is arrested we will have no choice but protests. We will have to work overtime to ensure no agent provocateurs are allowed to create another incident that can be used against us. We must stick with peaceful protests combined with non violent civil disobedience.

      Given the violence on the rhetoric of the left we can expect a violent civil war in the future. What we must work to ensure is the left is the ones who use violence against a conservative/populist President.

      Stay alert and avoid giving the left an excuse to use you for publicity )

      85 Percent Of Trump Supporters Think Protesting Against Arrest Is Another ‘J6-Style Trap’
      By Alicia Powe Mar. 20, 2023 11:00 am97 Comments

      An overwhelming majority of respondents polled on Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform suspect demonstrations against the former president’s arrest will make protesters susceptible to a January 6-style set-up.

      When asked whether the potential protest against Trump being arrested is “a J6-style trap,” a staggering 85 percent of Trump supporters answered the affirmative.

      On Saturday morning, Trump warned the public to anticipate his arrest on Tuesday, citing “illegal leaks” from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation into Trump’s allegedly illegal payment made to porn actress Stormy Daniels.

      Prosecutors claim Trump violated campaign finance laws for a $130,000 payment his former attorney, Michael Cohen, paid to Daniels during the 2016 campaign for her silence about an alleged affair.

      According to the sentencing memorandum in Cohen’s case, Trump’s company “falsely accounted” for those payments by listing them as “legal expenses” under a nonexistent retainer agreement with Cohen.

      The state charges that Bragg is leveling against Trump are based on a New York Law that makes it a misdemeanor, but prosecutors are navigating to turn the charges into a felony by charging Trump with additionally violating New York State election law.

      As Reason reports, “Under New York’s law, falsification of business records becomes a Class E felony, punishable by up to four years in prison, when the defendant’s ‘intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.’ But what is the other crime?”

      “THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” Trump posted in response to the news.

    • House Judiciary Committee Demands Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Hand Over Documents and Testify Regarding Possible Donald Trump Indictment
      By Cullen Linebarger Mar. 20, 2023

      The House Judiciary Committee is ordering far-left Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to hand over communications, documents, and testimony that Bragg is allegedly planning to use to indict former President Donald Trump.

      Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent the letter Monday morning demanding Bragg’s cooperation. Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and Bryan Steil (R-WI) also signed the letter.

      As Gateway Pundit readers know, Trump announced that expects to be arrested Tuesday on specious misdemeanor charges related to an alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels. He is accused of providing $130,000 in 2016 to his disgraced former lawyer Michael Cohen, who then allegedly passed the money on as hush money to Daniels.

      There is is still one more witness that must testify before any indictment and arrest of Trump can happen, however. Trump expects that this witness, former Rudy Giuliani lawyer Robert Costello, will ultimately clear him of wrongdoing.

      Fox News has more on the Jordan letter to Bragg:

      Jordan warned Bragg that if news reports of a possible Trump indictment are accurate, Bragg’s actions “will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the court of the 2024 presidential election.”

      “In light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision,” Jordan wrote.

      “The legal theory underlying your reported prosecution appears to be tenuous and untested,” Jordan wrote.

    • “They’re Communists, Marxists, RINOs and Losers!” – Trump Rips ‘Animals and Thugs’ Destroying the Country
      By Cristina Laila Mar. 20, 2023 12:37 pm0 Comments

      President Trump on Sunday night ripped the Communists, Marxists, RINOs and losers for destroying the country.

      In January the Manhattan District Attorney’s office revived its criminal investigation into Trump’s ‘hush payments’ to porn star Stephanie Clifford, AKA, Stormy Daniels and elevated the case from a misdemeanor to a felony.

      Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

      Trump has denied the affair.

      FEC expert Hans von Spakovsky told Fox News that Alvin Bragg doesn’t have the authority to prosecute a federal campaign finance violation.

      “If the state charges are based on a supposed violation of federal campaign finance law, then the Manhattan DA is way off base,” he told Fox News.

      Alvin Bragg is threatening to arrest Trump anyway.

    • BREAKING LEAK: Georgia Prosecutors Considering RICO and Conspiracy Charges Against Trump Over His Effort to Challenge 2020 Election
      By Cristina Laila Mar. 20, 2023 1:10 pm0 Comments

      Here we go.

      As The Gateway Pundit predicted, Trump will likely face charges from New York, Georgia and special counsel Jack Smith in an effort to derail the former president’s 2024 White House bid.

      Far-left Soros-backed District Attorney Alvin Bragg is threatening to arrest Trump for allegedly paying porn star Stormy Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

      RICO and conspiracy charges against Trump over his efforts to challenge the 2020 election, according to a leak to CNN.

      Last January Fulton County Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis requested a special grand jury in her investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn Georgia’s fraudulent 2020 election results.

      Fani Willis based her investigation on President Trump’s call with Georgia officials that was later doctored and leaked to the fake news outlet Washington Post. The WaPo published a completely fraudulent text of the call. These phony charges have already been debunked by The Gateway Pundit and others.

      Again — Willis and her handlers are investigating a now-infamous call between former President Trump and Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger, in which Trump pressured the Georgia SOS to uncover what he insisted was fraud that would overturn Georgia’s election results.

      The infamous phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was recorded by Raffensperger and his office. Raffensperger’s team then leaked and lied about it to the far left Washington Post.

      As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Governor Ron DeSantis has refrained from speaking about Trump being possibly arrested on Tuesday.

      DeSantis’s silence even earned him the nickname DeSilence from some on social media.

      The Governor of Florida has finally broken his silence and in a press conference on Monday morning, weighing in on Trump’s possible indictment.

      A reporter asked DeSantis if he would have any role in extraditing Trump to New York if Trump is indicted.

      Truth

      Former President Donald Trump has responded to the jab from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, asserting that he will likely learn about “false accusations and fake stories” in the future.
      DeSantis broke his silence on the possible indictment of Trump with jabs at both the former president and the “Soros-funded prosecutor” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. He had been noticeably silent about the looming arrest over the weekend, prompting calls from Trump supporters for him to speak out.

      When asked about the situation at a press conference on Monday, DeSantis said that “I have no interest in getting involved in some manufactured circus by some Soros-DA.”

      • Better to abstain from using Alinsky tactics against our own.

        If DeSantis looks promising for “sometime in the future”, why dirty him up now? Why go cut-throat divisive at this point?

        Ugly nicknames are a cheap shot even deployed against the enemy. There are more than enough policy disasters and actual crimes to use in the campaign.

The potential request comes amid speculation about why the hush-money case was suddenly resurrected after being back-burnered by both state and federal prosecutors.

      The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plans are not final, noted that Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a longtime Trump ally and close friend, is “fully supportive and pushing folks to be aggressive here.”

      Press Release
      WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) sent a letter to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg demanding communications, documents, and testimony relating to Bragg’s unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority and the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump.

      Excerpts of the letter to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg:

      “You are reportedly about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office. This indictment comes after years of your office searching for a basis—any basis—on which to bring charges, ultimately settling on a novel legal theory untested anywhere in the country and one that federal authorities declined to pursue. If these reports are accurate, your actions will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the course of the 2024 presidential election. In light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision.

    • WHAT A SHOCKING TWIST: Kevin McCarthy Outflanks Ron DeSantis on Democrat Corruption and Politicization of Justice System
      By Jim Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 2:15 pm153 Comments

      Speaker Kevin McCarthy threw down the gauntlet on Democrat politicization of the US Justice system.

      Over the weekend Kevin McCarthy repeatedly condemned the lawlessness of the NYC DA Alvin Bragg for bringing bogus charges against Donald Trump from an incident in 2016 that has been resolved by the courts a number of times already.

      On Sunday Speaker McCarthy OBLITERATED Alvin Bragg and his politicized persecution of President Trump in his latest tweet.

      McCarthy pointed out that Bragg initiated new policies as DA that lessened felonies to misdemeanors – but was doing the exact opposite with President Trump.

      On Sunday Speaker Kevin McCarthy held a presser and again went off on Alvin Bragg and the Democrat Party politicization of the US justice system.

    • Eric Greitens: Soros’ Scheme Against Trump is More than a Political Attack. Here’s what it means for you, and for America.
      By Jim Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 3:40 pm131 Comments

      Guest post by Eric Greitens, former Governor of Missouri

      I know, from personal experience, how far George Soros-funded prosecutors will go to carry out political assassinations of effective leaders.

      The sham criminal case being brought against President Trump is the latest in a series of political prosecutions carried out by radical Soros-backed prosecutors.

      This plot was practiced and perfected over many years, with many targets—all of whose only “crime” was standing up boldly against a corrupt political establishment.

      After I stopped riots and stopped political insiders from stealing taxpayer money as Governor of Missouri, a Soros-funded prosecutor came after me.

      She hired a corrupt former FBI agent, who was later charged with 7 felonies for perjury and evidence tampering. She lied to the media, to the judge, and to a Grand Jury. Ultimately, all her false charges against me were dismissed and the prosecutor herself was found to have lied over 70 times and was sanctioned and fined by the Supreme Court for her failed political prosecution.

      Yet while I may have been among the first, I was certainly not the last. Most Americans remember the gruesome attacks on President Trump’s second Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.

      People remember the vicious assault against Lt. General Michael Flynn, a brave American patriot who served as President Trump’s national security advisor. General Flynn posed a true threat to the cancerous, globalist deep state and he was taken out with dirty tricks and a corrupted “justice” system.

      They’ve weaponized the “justice” system to attack America First patriots like Steve Bannon and Matt Gaetz.

      Now, they’ve set their sights on a former President of the United States.

      To call this a “political prosecution” understates the actual damage it does to America. This is not simply a political attack; it is yet another frontal assault on the very idea of The United States of America.

      The very idea of “a law” that had merit and meaning beyond the mere wishes of those in power was one of the great gifts of Israel, embodied in the Old Testament. It was a new idea, never before practiced in human history.

      The very idea that such a law could be embodied in a Constitution, and that every individual citizen in a Republic could be equal before the law was also a new invention in human history, first practiced in the United States of America.

      America’s pursuit of equality before the law has always been imperfect. Yet most Americans have always agreed on the aim of law, of justice, of equality before the law. The idea is simple: in the courts, no one should be favored; no one should be targeted. People should get a fair shake.

      In his famous Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King pointed out that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” as he called forth his fellow citizens to stand for
      justice.

      Today’s unholy alliance of Soros’-funded hitmen and fake news liars knew that King was right. That’s why they push for injustice of the most flagrant flavor; it destroys the very idea of America.

      America’s justice system has always been imperfect, yet for most of American history it was also the envy of the world. No longer. Both inside and outside America, it’s become a common
      belief that Americans only “have” the Constitutional rights that they can afford.

      If a political prosecutor came after you, and caused your family to wrack up millions of dollars in legal bills, how long would you last? 1 million dollars; 2 million dollars; 10 million dollars?

      Some men stand strong. Bob McDonnell, former governor of Virginia, was politically targeted.

      He was eventually found innocent by the Supreme Court of the United States 9-0. But only after being prosecuted, threatened with prison, and “winning” after coming out with $20 million dollars in debt and his reputation assaulted by years of lies .

      It’s a plain fact in America today that people who hold certain political beliefs will be charged with imagined crimes, while others of a different political party—engaged in the exact same conduct—face no consequences.

      The head of Stalin’s secret police, Lavrentiy Beria, famously said, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”

      America now bears that strong Soviet influence. Today the man targeted is Trump. Yesterday it was me. Tomorrow will it be you?

      It’s important to dispense with illusions.

      The Soros team is not bound by the law. They seek to break it and they are free to break it. Prosecutors have near complete immunity.

      The truth does not matter to them; they relish the telling of lies. The propaganda press who promote the work of Soros’ funded prosecutors are not blind. They are not dumb. They are malicious.

      Even when confronted directly with the facts, they choose to write twisted lies. They are, as Teddy Roosevelt noted, cold and timid souls, who come alive in and enjoy the evil they spread.

      They are willing to hurt children and cash in on criminality. They do this with no remorse.

      The political class of both parties is weak, cowardly, and in on the game. The class of political profiteers (politicians, consultants, lobbyists, grifters) feed off of political rot. Don’t look to them for courage.

      Gutless politicians who refuse to condemn these partisan hit jobs are just as culpable as those who bear false witness. Their silence is deafening and will ring loudly in the minds of Americans for years to come.

      I served as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan and Iraq, and I saw the evil of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and ISIS. But at least they are honest about what they are trying to do—something that can’t be said for crooked prosecutors like Kim Gardner or Alvin Bragg.

      The divine beauty of the idea of the law was that it meant that “justice” could be sought in the courts, and not at the hands of the mob, directed by the hearts of the vengeful.

      Before I served in the military I worked as a humanitarian volunteer, with Bosnians in refugee camps after ethnic cleansing, in Rwanda after the genocide. When societies collapse, millions of innocent people suffer.

      Make no mistake about where Soros wants to take the country.

      Robert Costello on Monday appeared before the Manhattan grand jury investigating Trump’s so-called ‘hush payment’ to Stormy Daniels.

      In January the Manhattan District Attorney’s office revived its criminal investigation into Trump’s ‘hush payments’ to porn star Stephanie Clifford, AKA, Stormy Daniels and elevated the case from a misdemeanor to a felony.

    • John Katchelman: The “Beardless” Goal of Political Persection
      By Jim Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 6:15 pm9 Comments

      Guest post by John Katchelman, Jr.

      Political persecution is as old as man’s civilization. Historically is has been the instrument for oppression, suppression and depression. There is never any good that results from its exercise. Those exercising it will always face a violent rebound as Wisdom counsels, “One who digs a pit will fall into it, and one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him” (The Bible, Proverbs 26:27).

      The practical impact of political revenge (persecution; terrorism) is summarized by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, “Surrender one hair, and you’ll end up beardless.” Solzhenitsyn is eminently qualified to speak bluntly about the terrors of political persecution.

      Brain Scan Uncovers Real Cause of Tinnitus (Ear Ringing)
      These Vegetables Will Kill Your Belly And Arm Fat Overnight!
      The political persecution begins with minimal moves but has a deliberate agenda. Little-by-little, whisker-by-whisker eventually the cunning feat is completed. Today’s political terrorists utilize a feigned legality that is wielded by a compromised federal agency. Nefarious actions are announced as “justice” and defended as “protecting democracy.” But…it is still “surrendering one hair at a time, leading our nation to beardlessness.” Some condemn this analysis as “simplistic.” The protest fails to understand that life’s principles are simple. A contortion of simple principles leads to confused complications. The truism counsels, “Tell the truth and you don’t have to remember much!” When you tell a lie, you must navigate the evolving narrative to make it convincing—but there is always inconsistency that befouls the evil agenda of political hit-jobs.

      The amazing idiocy of this dastardly act is that when one first fails, he tries again. When he fails the second time, he tries again. When he fails the third time…ad infinitum. The failed political hit-jobs continue. And idiots claim to be intelligent and experienced! Such are amazing fools.

      A Biblical reference

      The prophet Jeremiah is one of myriads having faced historical political hits. He is known as the “weeping Prophet” because of his political situation. In Jeremiah 20, the prophet faces the political terrorist named “Pashhur.” This guy was connected—he was the chief overseer in the house of the Lord. He heard Jeremiah and did not like what he heard. So, he decided to cancel the prophet. He had Jeremiah beaten and put into stocks. Jeremiah said, “I have become a laughingstock; everyone mocks me. Each time I speak it results in taunting and derision. I have heard the whispering of many who bring terror on every side. They cry out, ‘Let us denounce him so that we may prevail against him and take our revenge on him’.”

      The prophet was innocent. He just happened to “rock the boat” of those in high political places; he threatened their power and prestige. Surrounded by the “unfriendlies” is never a comfortable or convenient situation. But what was he to do? Surrender to the political terrorists? Compromise the basic foundation of truth? Cower in silence? The politicians’ strategy is practiced today, ‘Let us denounce him so that we may prevail against him and take our revenge on him’.

      A secular reference

      There are scores of historical antidotes illustrating the foolishness of political terrorism sent to “hit” and destroy political enemies. The one constant in this historical record is that “justice” is misused to justify an immoral and illegal action and ultimately destroy civility.

      From recent history let me illustrate with a Presidential election from 2020. It is a narrative filled with tales of fear and violence. Read the below bullet points and ask with incredulity, “Is this possible in our times?” Not only is it possible but it is documented with these facts:

      Jails and detention centers are holding hundreds of people described as political prisoners.
      Thousands were thrown into crowded prisons when they denounced the presidential election as rigged.
      Reports suggested beatings and torture were rife.
      Arrests and jail terms continue.
      Video confessions have been made under duress.
      The “President” announced that protesters had “crossed many red lines and crossed boundaries of common sense and human morality.”
      Confessions of guilt resulted because people were threatened with violence.
      Inside the jail is hard emotional pressure: “it’s shouting, they’re very rude, sometimes they smack you or beat you a little bit – the main feeling is that you do not belong to yourself.”
      The arrests continue and more are threatened; Political dissidents are still being sentenced.
      A former candidate faces charges including “conspiracy to seize power through unconstitutional means.”
      Journalists have been targeted.
      You don’t need to be a high-profile dissident to get prosecuted. One was arrested for supporting protesters with a red-and-white “paper banner” and a woman wearing red-and-white socks was fined under the laws of unauthorized
      Welcome to the violent reality of political terrorism as “hits” are assigned by the ruling elites to fall upon those who oppose their immoral, criminal and inhumane actions.

      Aleksandar Solzhenitsyn is the face of political revenge. Solzhenitsyn personifies the target of the political elites in their feeding-frenzy to intimidate, silence and terminate all voices of opposition. This heroic man offers insight to the tyranny of the political elite. From Solzhenitsyn’s writings comes these poignant quotes:

      A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.
      The name of ‘reform’ simply covers what is latently a process of the theft of the national heritage.
      Surrender one hair, and you’ll end up beardless.
      If we live in a state of constant fear, can we remain human?
      The solemn pledge to abstain from telling the truth was called socialist realism.
      The Apex of the Epitome of political bitterness, anger, and hatred

      In recent days it has been “slipped” that the unjust NYC grand jury will announce indictments against President Trump.

      The grand jury has not completed its work but the verdict is already settled! There has been a repulsive jubilant applause from the progressive left. Perhaps the best summary is found in in the vitriol of PELOSI: “He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence.” Insightful to this evil rejoicing was this published article: “He Cannot Hide From His Violations of the Law” – Nancy Pelosi Trashes Trump as Soros-Backed DA Alvin Bragg Prepares to Bring Charges, By Cristina Laila Mar. 18, 2023 7:30 pm.

      The only answer I can give to Pelosi’s vituperation is to remind the reader of the opening paragraph: Political persecution is as old as man’s civilization. There is never any good that results from its exercise. Those exercising it will always face a violent rebound as Wisdom counsels, “One who digs a pit will fall into it, and one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him” (The Bible, Proverbs 26:27).

      A basic truth in life…let the one seething with vitriol and stating that, “He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence” understand the dug pit and the rolled stone is destined to engulf and destroy such a one bitterly seeking political revenge.

      Be certain of this ABSOLUTE FACT…the political hit-jobs that have been contracted to ruin and terminate President Trump, and the patriotic energy surrounding him, have failed. None have succeeded. Now another political hit is contracted.

      History is recording the machinations of this evil. History will highlight the names of those identified with this evil shame.

    • Prayer Call with President Trump Gets Shut Down 5 Minutes After President Trump Calls In – Reason Still Unknown
      By Joe Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 8:40 pm0 Comments

      President Trump was invited on a prayer call this evening with supporters and friends. A few minutes after the President joined the call, the administrators were kicked of the Internet and the call was over.

      The call tonight was shared online at multiple sites and the interest in the call was very high. TGP wrote about the call earlier in the day.

      As the call started, Pastor Jack Lahmeyer introduced Roger Stone and General Michael Flynn and these close friends of the President talked about the time we are in and the evil that has taken over this country. These were excellent shares until 7:15 pm eastern when President Trump joined the call.

      Clay Clark then joined Paster Lahmeyer and introduced President Trump. The President shared and then suddenly after a few minutes he was lost, then after about 25 minutes, the call ended.

      Below is the call.

    • JUST IN: Trump Moves to Quash Georgia Special Grand Jury Report as Fulton County DA Considers RICO Charges
      By Cristina Laila Mar. 20, 2023 8:20 pm33 Comments
      TruthGettr

      Trump’s lawyers on Monday moved to quash the Georgia special grand jury report and expunge it from the record.

      President Trump’s lawyers blasted the special grand jury, calling it “confusing, flawed, and at-times, blatantly unconstitutional,” CBS News reported.

      Trump’s lawyers also asked a Georgia court to prevent the special grand jury’s report from being used as evidence as Fulton County DA Fani Willis considers RICO charges against Trump.

      Fulton County DA Fani Willis is considering RICO and conspiracy charges against Trump over his efforts to challenge the 2020 election, according to a leak to CNN.

      The Georgia special grand jury that investigated Trump’s effort to challenge the 2020 election recently recommended issuing multiple indictments after meeting for several months.

      Fani Willis is now considering racketeering and conspiracy charges against Trump because there is so-called ‘evidence’ that Trump’s effort to challenge the election in Georgia did not originate in the state as a grassroots movement.

      Trump’s legal team also demanded Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ office to be recused from any investigations involving Trump, CBS reported.

      “Given the scrutiny and the gravity of the investigation and those individuals involved – namely, the movant President Donald J. Trump, this process should have been handled correctly, fairly, and with deference to the law and the highest ethical standards,” Trump’s lawyers Jennifer Little and Drew Findling wrote, the outlet reported.

  11. Vivek Ramaswamy Calls on Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley to Get Off Their Butts and Condemn Politicized NYC Indictment Against Trump
    By Jim Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 8:45 am0 Comments

    Good move!

    Vivek Ramaswamy is the latest Republican to call out Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley for their weak response to the obviously political indictment against President Donald Trump.

    Truly, DeSantis and Haley are showing they are too weak to take on the Communist left. They either are afraid to get involved or they do not see what every other American is witnessing – the complete destruction of our Justice System. Either option is disqualifying.

    This shouldn’t be that hard to figure out.

    Do they really believe the Communist left will not do the same to them? You’d think common sense would kick in at some point.

    Here is Vivek on Twitter:

  12. IT WAS A SET-UP! Feds Knew of Registered Trump Protests on January 6 Outside the US Capitol – Later They Entrapped THOUSANDS of Trump Supporters in ‘Restricted Area’ Where Protesters Had Permits to Rally
    By Jim Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 8:00 am85 Comments

    On October 13, 2022, the FBI testified that they were using geo-tracking data to identify Trump supporters who had gathered near the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
    A bombshell report by the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) revealed the “vast, secretive” partnership between private companies and the federal government to surveil and track the movements of millions of Americans.
    According to the EFF, the intel alphabet agencies, including ICE, the FBI, US Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as state and local law enforcement, are being funneled hordes of private cell phone location data by private brokers who harvest the information.

    This is the same tactic that Gregg Phillips, Catherine Engelbrecht, and True The Vote used for their investigation into the mail-in ballot dropbox fraud during the 2020 election. The cell phone location data collected by this group was used to identify the network of Democrat operatives who committed mass election fraud, as seen in the recently-released documentary “2000 Mules

    The FBI was alleged to have used this data to identify patriotic protesters who traveled to Washington DC on January 6, 2021, to support President Trump and the US Constitution.

    Tens of thousands of nearly one million protesters later walked to the US Capitol following President Trump’s speech where more rallies were scheduled.

    • WAYNE ROOT: By Arresting Trump, Democrats Want Either Civil War, Marshal Law, or Another January 6th. Here is the Strategy to Protect Trump and Save America- without Ever Risking your Life or Arrest
      By Assistant Editor Mar. 20, 2023 11:35 am0 Comments

      By Wayne Allyn Root

      Democrats (ie radical communist traitors) in conspiracy with a corrupt, Soros-funded, communist DA, and weaponized government goons intend to indict, arrest & perp walk President Trump this coming week. Why are they doing this? I know their playbook like the back of my hand.

      1. At the very least, they want a thousand new January 6 scenarios- so they can arrest and lock away thousands of conservative patriots for years- and brand conservatives patriots as terrorists.

      2. Their very best scenario is to incite civil war and rip this country apart. Then they can declare Martial Law, lock down the country, destroy all our jobs and businesses, and take away our freedom permanently.

      3. To slander, demonize and destroy Trump- and hopefully disqualify him as a presidential candidate. They’re THAT scared of Trump beating them in 2024.

      4. Most importantly, this is all a WMD- Weapon of Mass Distraction.

      Look around. The country is collapsing. Trains derailing. The supply chain failing. Democrat run inner cities in ruins. Our border is wide open- with millions of illegal aliens being waved in. Banks are failing. Inflation is raging. Crime is exploding. The national debt is out of control. Sudden deaths and heart attacks from Biden’s vaccine mandates are exploding all around us- it’s literally a vaccine holocaust. Your children are being brainwashed to change their gender. And the crimes, extortion and bribery of the Biden Crime Family are finally coming to light.

      So, this is the perfect moment for Biden to unleash a “Weapon of Mass Distraction.” Indict, arrest and perp walk President Trump.

      I have the solution.

      Two years ago, I wrote the bestselling book, “The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book.” My plan was for conservative patriots to adopt Martin Luther King’s strategy of Civil Disobedience. We could defeat this woke, radical, Democrat agenda by boycotting, striking and punishing woke, liberal companies.

      It worked like a charm!

      The companies I listed in my book are in big trouble. Sales are way down, CEOs are being fired, market caps down by billions for companies such as Disney, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond and Victoria’s Secret. We are winning. They are drowning. We are bringing them to their knees. #VICTORY

      Now we can apply this strategy to the whole economy to save Trump, save America and defeat tyranny- without ever firing a single bullet, or risking a single arrest. I call it…

      “THE NATIONAL PATRIOT STRIKE.”

      If Trump is arrested, just as I’ve counseled for two years now, our response must be: No violence, no civil war. We can’t risk another January 6- where we are framed and painted as violent terrorists or “insurrectionists.”

      This is the perfect time for a National Patriots Strike. We can stay safely in our homes and shut this nation down for the weekend after Trump’s arrest. We can grind the economy to a halt for one weekend. We can bring the Biden government, DC Swamp and Deep State to its knees. Call it the “Trump Flu.”

      Remember, conservative patriots do most of the work in this country and pay most of the taxes. If we’re not working, shopping, buying or driving- the roads are empty, the stores are empty, the schools are empty.

      This is also how we starve government- no shopping or buying means no tax revenue.

      We can tie up the entire nation for a weekend to make our point. The point is to show this country belongs to “we the people.” It’s a warning shot to these government goons: We are the Silent Majority. We control the purse strings. If it’s needed, we can grind the USA to a halt, anytime we choose.

      If they can persecute Trump, then no one is safe. We are all next in line for government persecution. The buck stops here. We will not allow America to become a combination of Nazi Gestapo and Soviet Gulag.

      The beauty of my idea? We’re all home, safe and sound. They can’t hurt us. They can’t intimidate us. They can’t arrest us. Because we’re literally doing…nothing.

      They have no way to stop the nationwide strike. Only we are in control. We can end it whenever we want. We can do it short term, or we can go long term. Whatever is needed to save this country. I suggest the weekend after Trump’s arrest (giving us a few days to coordinate).

      THE BIG BONUS: This nationwide strike will be more proof Trump won the 2020 election. With stores empty, roads empty, schools empty…everyone will see Trump voters make up the Silent Majority. Everyone will see the emperor has no clothes- Biden rigged and stole the election. As the new #1 song in America goes: “Trump won. I know it, you know it, they know it, everyone knows it.”

      This is how we save Trump and America and wreck the Democrat’s plans- without risking one arrest. We make our point in one powerful weekend. We shut down America. And we can do it again, whenever we want.

      Here’s another way to support President Trump: All 80 million of us should go to Trump’s web site and contribute on the day he is arrested. We will make it the biggest fundraising day in the history of U.S. politics. That’s a powerful statement too.

      God bless America and God bless and protect President Trump.

  13. IT’S REAL BAD – Central Banks Organize to Provide Daily Liquidity of Dollars In the Event of a WORLD-WIDE BANK COLLAPSE
    By Joe Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 8:15 am99 Comments

    We were warned. The possibility of a financial collapse is real and now the world’s top Central Banks have joined together to come up with a strategy to deal with the possibility of banks collapsing.

    On Sunday it was reported that the top Central Banks have joined together to provide a means of protection against a collapse of the banking system.

    The Federal Reserve posted this last night (on a Sunday):

    Coordinated central bank action to enhance the provision of U.S. dollar liquidity

    The Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, and the Swiss National Bank are today announcing a coordinated action to enhance the provision of liquidity via the standing U.S. dollar liquidity swap line arrangements.

    To improve the swap lines’ effectiveness in providing U.S. dollar funding, the central banks currently offering U.S. dollar operations have agreed to increase the frequency of 7-day maturity operations from weekly to daily. These daily operations will commence on Monday, March 20, 2023, and will continue at least through the end of April.

    The network of swap lines among these central banks is a set of available standing facilities and serve as an important liquidity backstop to ease strains in global funding markets, thereby helping to mitigate the effects of such strains on the supply of credit to households and businesses.

  14. Pastors for Trump Organize Prayer Call Tonight – “The War Against Trump Is a War Against Christianity”
    By Joe Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 7:45 am89 Comments

    What has changed in the last year that makes this case worthy of prosecuting? Is it because they have nothing else on Trump? Is it because Trump is likely to be re-elected in 2024 and polling at 58%? Is it because Trump has publicly stated if re-elected he will take action against China for Covid-19, he will secure the southern border and he will reign in power given to social media companies who are censoring conservative views?

    I believe all of those are the reasons behind this looming arrest. But it is much, much more than that.

    Those of us Christians have watched as those on the left manipulate and gaslight us into accepting their warped views of reality: a reality that demolishes womanhood, normalizes the sexualization of children and forces equity principles over common sense and personal responsibility.

    The left thinks if it can make something common – it will become normal. If we are used to seeing CRT or transgenderism these things will be able to be integrated into society and will become normal.

    But they are not normal and we must not turn a blind eye to what is happening and let their gaslighting alter what is normal.

  15. Trey Gowdy: Manhattan DA’s Case Against President Trump Risks the Demise of Our Country (VIDEO)
    By Jim Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 7:30 am141 Comments

    I’m Trey Gowdy, and it’s Sunday night in America.

    On his first day in office, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced all the crimes he would not prosecute. The person elected as the top law enforcement official had a long list of laws he didn’t respect enough to follow. He substituted his politics for the rule of law, because that’s what so called progressive prosecutors do. And there was narry a word of dissent. On the left, felonies would be downgraded. Serious cases dismissed or pled down. Prison terms would rarely be solved. Alvin Bragg was a social engineer masquerading as a prosecutor.

    To some on the left, showing a photo ID to vote is antidemocratic, but apparently not a prosecutor who ignores the law. And yet we have finally stumbled upon the one crime worth the full weight of Alvin Bragg’s office. Forget about guns and robbery and acts of violence. What really gets his attention is paying someone to be quiet about sex. To be clear, Alvin Bragg will not prosecute people who pay for sex. That’s one of the crimes he promised to ignore. To him, you can pay someone for sex in New York and get away with it, but God forbid you pay someone to be quiet about it afterwards.

    The demise of our country will be in direct proportion to how politicized our justice system remains. Our justice system should be where we go to escape politics. A place where both friend and foe are afforded fairness and due process, where nothing matters except the law and the facts. It takes no character or courage to be fair to your friends. The question is, can you be fair to your opponents?

    EU Member States Agree To Send 1 Million Ammunition Shells To Ukraine

    BRUSSELS, March 20 (Reuters) – European Union countries agreed on Monday on a plan to give 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine over the next year by digging into their own stockpiles and teaming up to buy more, officials said.

    “We have reached a political consensus to send to Ukraine one million rounds of 155 mm calibre ammunition,” Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of EU foreign and defence ministers in Brussels.

    “There are many, many details still to (be) solved but for me, it is most important that we conclude these negotiations and it shows me one thing: If there is a will, there is a way,” said Pevkur, whose country has driven the initiative.

    Not all the details were immediately available but the plan approved by the ministers was based on a proposal from EU foreign policy chief Josep Borell to spend 1 billion euros on shells from stockpiles and 1 billion more on joint procurement.

    At Monday’s meeting, a group of 16 EU members plus Norway was expected to sign a document known as a project arrangement, setting out the terms of reference for a joint endeavour to buy 155 mm ammunition, led by the EU’s European Defence Agency.

    Such a move marks a significant step in EU integration as defence procurement in the European Union has largely been in the hands of individual member governments until now.

    Ukraine has identified the supply of 155 mm shells as a critical need as it engages in a fierce war of attrition with invading Russian forces, in which both sides are firing thousands of artillery rounds every day.

    Ukrainian and Western leaders have warned in recent weeks that Kiev is burning through the shells more quickly than its allies can provide them, leading to a renewed push to send supplies and find ways to ramp up production.

    German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said his country would be among those joining the joint procurement initiative, describing it as “new territory” for the EU.

    He said Germany would also open its national framework contracts with the defence industry to other partners as speed was of the essence.

    “Our goal has to be to ship a significant amount of munitions to Ukraine before the end of this year,” he said.

  22. BIG MISTAKE: Big 4 Firm KPMG Gave SVB and Signature Bank Clean Bills of Health Days Before Banks Collapsed
    By Joe Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 9:10 am94 Comments

    Auditor KPMG is in the news for its audits of failed Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank. How could the auditors report that these banks were going concerns two weeks before they failed?

    Big Four firm KPMG was the auditor for SVB and Signature Bank. It recently gave these companies clean bills of health in their 10K filings. Two weeks later, SVB became the second largest bank in US history to fail and Signature Bank the 3rd largest bank in history to fail. .

    There are two notable dates that stand out to corporate finance experts who have been following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and looking for clues as to whether or how KPMG — one of the so-called Big Four audit firms — may have slipped up in failing to flag risks that led to the biggest U.S. bank failure since 2008.

    The first is Feb. 24, the date of the 10-K filing that included KPMG’s latest auditing opinion, which was just about two weeks ahead of the bank’s March 10 collapse.

    While KPMG did identify an issue related to credit losses and unfunded loan commitments as a critical audit matter it discussed with the company’s audit committee, it did not flag risks related to the ability of the bank’s parent, SVB Financial Group, to continue as a “going concern,” according to a review of the filing…

    KPMG has defended its work, including as the auditor of New York-based Signature Bank which failed two days after SVB. On Tuesday at an event, Paul Knopp, chief executive of KPMG US, said the company stood behind the reports it issued and believes it followed all professional standards, according to The Financial Times.

    It’s difficult to believe that the auditors couldn’t have seen the dire situation these banks were in at the time of their audits.

  23. Putin Meets with Xi Jinping – Announces Plans for New Emerging Global World Order – RUSSIA ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR CHINA – TAIWAN ‘REUNIFICATION’
    By Jim Hoft Mar. 20, 2023 9:16 am247 Comments/

    Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow today for a three-day state visit. The two powers will discuss the War in Ukraine, strengthening ties, and the emerging global world order.

    The two are expected to announce solidarity against Western hegemony.

    The current lack of US leadership on the international stage opened the door for this Russo-Chinese alliance.

    The meetings took place as Russia overtook Saudi Arabia as China’s largest oil supplier.

    As Joe Biden and Democrats work diligently to decimate the US energy sector, China, Russia, and others move forward with realistic energy planning.

    The pro-Russian GraphicW is reporting on the meetings today.

    Judging by the news coming out and what Putin and figures in the Russian government are discussing, much of the topic of meetings between Putin and Xi Jinping will be the shift to the multi-polar world…

    Africa will be one of the leaders of the emerging multipolar world order— Putin

    Putin: “African states are constantly increasing their weight and their role in world affairs, increasingly asserting themselves in politics and economics.We believe that Africa will be one of the leaders of the emerging multipolar world order. There are all the objective prerequisites for this. African countries want to pursue an independent and sovereign foreign and domestic policy and resolve their sometimes difficult problems independently. Russia and African countries defend the traditional moral norms and social foundations of our peoples and oppose the neo-colonial ideology imposed from outside. By the way, many states in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America adhere to similar positions. And all together we make up the world majority. I have already said more than once that our country is determined to continue building a strategic partnership with African friends in the full sense of the word”

    Putin is offering free grain to Africa and is writing off their debt.

  26. LA Teachers Making Six Figures Would See Pay Hike Under Socialist-Backed ‘Green New Deal’

    Los Angeles socialists are helping a teachers’ union strike for massive boosts to their six-figure compensation, saying the strike boosts their “Green New Deal” for public schools.

    The United Teachers of Los Angeles is planning to strike for three days next week in an effort to transform city schools into a “green” social services hub. The Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has identified the teachers’ plan as part of its “Green New Deal for L.A. Public Schools” and said it is the group’s priority agenda item for the year. But buried beneath the teachers’ sundry progressive demands is a 20 percent salary hike over two years for Los Angeles teachers, whose average salaries and benefits run about $115,000.

    President Xi Jinping has called for “severe punishment” for those behind an attack on a gold mine in the Central African Republic that left nine Chinese nationals dead and two others injured on Sunday, China’s foreign ministry said.
    In a statement on Monday, the foreign ministry said it had dispatched a team to the Chimbolo mine run by the Gold Coast Group, a Chinese company, following Xi’s “important directive” that also called for the wounded to be rescued and treated.

    Oregon Teacher Caught Asking Students To Describe Their Sexual Fantasies In Short Stories

    MONDAY, MAR 20, 2023 – 12:26 PM
    In case you had any doubts about what the end game is for woke ideology being injected into public school curriculum, here is yet another example of a teacher engaging in highly sexualized lessons and course work in a classroom full of minors.

    Parents of students attending Churchill High School in Eugene, Oregon were horrified to discover that their kids were being asked to write short stories describing “sexual fantasies” that do not include “penetration or oral sex.”

    The assignment references potential objects to be used in the stories, including candles, massage oil, feathers and flavored syrup.

  31. EPIC! DC Resident Destroys Fauci And DC Mayor Muriel Bowser as They Go Door to Door to Track Down Unvaccinated (VIDEO)
    By Alicia Powe Mar. 20, 2023 2:30 pm248 Comments

    A Washington DC resident excoriated Dr. Anthony Fauci and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser as they went door to door in his Anacostia neighborhood encouraging residents to receive the Covid -19 vaccine

    In footage going viral on social media, the DC resident blasts Fauci and the Democrat lawmaker for coercing the public to inject themselves with the Covid “vaccines,” a gene-editing technology that has taken more lives than any vaccine in history and prevents no transmission against the man-made virus.

    “The people in America are not settled with the information that’s been given to us right now. So, I’m not going to be lining up, taking a shot or a vaccination for something that wasn’t clear in the first place,” the man admonished. “And then, you are going to create a shot in a miraculous time. It takes years to create vaccinations.”

  33. Half Of Antelope In Rawlins-Red Desert Could Die As Brutal Winter Hammers Wyoming Wildlife

    The Red Desert and the larger area surrounding Rawlins is usually a winter haven for wildlife – one of the few places elk, deer and antelope can migrate to where large patches of ground afford at least some forage.

    That’s not happening this year, and as many as half of the antelope in the area, as well as significant numbers of mule deer, are expected to die as a result, some Wyoming Game and Fish Department officials said.

    Radio collars are telling a heart-wrenching story in some areas.

    Game and Fish frequently captures animals to be fitted with radio collars and turned loose, so biologists can track their movements and learn information about the herds. And the news this winter hasn’t been good.

    In one Red Desert antelope herd, 14 of 33 collared animals died in January, Rawlins area Game and Fish biologist Greg Hiatt said in a recorded report shared with Cowboy State Daily.

    “Based on the death of collared animals, roughly half the herd is expected to have died this winter” in a scenario repeated across the region, he said.

    Since that region has some of the highest concentration of Wyoming’s estimated nearly half-million antelope, that could mean thousands of animals killed by winter.

    And in the Green Mountain area, five of six radio collared mule deer died in January and February, he said.

  34. Biden Signs Bill Declassifying Covid Origins Intelligence, Will Release “As Much Information As Possible”
    By Cristina Laila Mar. 20, 2023 5:40 pm0 Comments

    Joe Biden on Monday signed a bill declassifying “certain information relating” to the origins of Covid.

    “Today, I am pleased to sign into law S. 619, the “COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023.” I share the Congress’s goal of releasing as much information as possible about the origin of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19).” Biden said in a statement on Monday.

    “In 2021, I directed the Intelligence Community to use every tool at its disposal to investigate the origin of COVID-19, and that work is ongoing.” Biden said.

    Biden claimed his administration will declassify and “share as much of that information as possible.”

    Both chambers of Congress recently passed a bill to declassify the US government intel on the origins of Covid-19.

  35. WATCH: Anthony Fauci Blames Anti-Vaccine Mandate Republicans for COVID and Says He Will Break Their Will
    By Cullen Linebarger Mar. 20, 2023

    Gateway Pundit reported earlier about about DC resident filleting Dr. Anthony Fauci and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser as they went door to door in his Anacostia neighborhood encouraging residents to receive the COVID -19 vaccine.

    The exchange was documented by PBS as part of an upcoming program on Fauci. The incident reportedly happened back in June 2021.

    Now more video has emerged from that June day. The footage shows Fauci talking to Bowser and revealing exactly what he thinks of Republicans who question the COVID shot and vaccine mandates.

  36. Kari Lake To Hold Prayer Rally At Mesa Church Tomorrow as Arizona Supreme Court Considers Her Stolen Election Lawsuit, Tells Steve Bannon of Potential Fines and ARRESTS for Praying in Public Parks – Supreme Court Conference TOMORROW

    Kari Lake joined Bannon’s War Room this morning to announce a prayer rally on Tuesday during the Arizona Supreme Court’s deliberations on whether or not to consider Lake’s election lawsuit.

    The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on Kari Lake’s lawsuit, which has moved to the Arizona Supreme Court and will be considered in a conference tomorrow, March 21. “At the conference, the Court will decide whether to accept review and schedule an oral argument,” states a recent Order from the Supreme Court.

    Rogan O’Handley, aka DC Drano, tweeted recently that he is “in shock” that Arizona Courts don’t see an issue with Maricopa County intentionally causing over 59% of machines to malfunction and fail Republican Election Day voters. The election should be thrown out on this issue alone.
