Excellent 57 min interview with Dr. Paul Craig Roberts. As bad as Canada has become our southern neighbors are in an equally perilous state with its recent developments (PT). Roberts delivers a powerful and honest assessment of the U.S., the Uke war, and the dollar. What he does not articulate perfectly is that the Achilles heel of every tyranny is that financial markets exterior to it abandon its currency.

BTW, EB, I listened to all of the Khuner Report you posted yesterday. Really good.
I’m glad that you listened and liked the Kuhner Report. I like Jeff and his callers. I especially like that Jeff gives the callers all the time to voice their opinions etc. Many talk show hosts gives their callers a few seconds and then they cut them off. There use to be a caller “Jimmy from Brooklyn” who would call the Michael Savage Show and the Bob Grant Show. They would give him a few minutes and then they would cut him off. Jimmy from Brooklyn was a expert on communism. Soon as he got to the good part they would cut him off! So frustrating. I hope Jimmy finds the Kuhner report and calls in someday. Take care.
Texas Delivers First Busload of Illegal Aliens to Los Angeles in Response to Border Crisis
By Jim Hoft Jun. 15, 2023 7:15 am59 Comments
In a bold move, Texas has sent the first busload of illegal immigrants to Los Angeles, California, a sanctuary city.
Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) announced Wednesday night that the first group of 40 illegal immigrants had been transported to Los Angeles. This action is part of his comprehensive plan to alleviate the immigration burden that small border towns in Texas are facing.
The Governor highlighted that these towns are bearing the brunt of the migrant influx due to Biden’s reluctance to secure the border.
“As a sanctuary city, Los Angeles is a popular destination for migrants, especially now that city leaders have confirmed its sanctuary status,” Governor Abbott said.

In Case You Missed It: Chanel Rion and One America News Broke Down the Biden Bribery Scandal with Testimony from Ukrainian Officials Back in 2019 (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft Jun. 15, 2023 8:00 am73 Comments
In 2019 One America News Network investigative journalist Chanel Rion released a three part made for TV series detailing Joe Biden and Hunter Biden’s criminal dealings in Ukraine.
The evidence Chanel Rion and Rudy Giuliani brought forth was enough to start a corruption investigation into Joe Biden.
Chanel traveled to Ukraine with Rudy Giuliani to investigate the money laundering schemes by the Biden Crime Family. What they came back with was a trough of evidence and documents that detailed bribes and payments to Hunter Biden for years and at least one bribe to Joe Biden for $900,000 from Ukrainian officials.

On Tuesday When President Trump Was Being Indicted – Ronna McDaniel Was Releasing New GOP Convention Logo – Ronna McDaniel and the GOP Are a Danger to the Country
By Jim Hoft Jun. 15, 2023 9:00 am63 Comments
In 2015-2016 the FBI and DOJ spied on Trump and his campaign based on bogus Trump-Russia collusion claims that were created from whole cloth by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
CIA Director John Brennan briefed Barack Obama, Joe Biden and senior Obama officials in July 2016 on the Hillary Clinton campaign plan. The plan was launched by one of her foreign policy advisors to smear Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming he was a Russian stooge. It was completely made up and Obama, Biden, and the Deep State knew this back in 2016. They then proceeded to run a coup against candidate Trump and then President Trump for three years based on what they all knew were Hillary Clinton campaign lies.
The Republicans did nothing. Worthless AG Jeff Sessions handed over the DOJ to the crooks who all lied to the American public for years about Trump-Russia.
The GOP did nothing. Republicans lost Congress in the next election in 2018. Ronna McDaniel and the GOP did nothing as Democrats and their lemming media did all they could to destroy President Trump’s reputation. They did Nothing.
In 2020 President Donald Trump won every swing state on Election Day. Then gradually overnight and in the next four days Democrats were able to steal EVERY SINGLE SWING STATE including Pennsylvania where President Trump was leading by nearly 800,000 votes on Election Day.
Here are five still unexplained ways Democrats worked to steal the election in 2020. Democrat officials were even caught teaching poll workers how to cheat before the election. The GOP ignored this.
The Republican Party elites have yet to explain the impossible numbers from the 2020 election. They don’t really care.
The Gateway Pundit was told at the time by top Trump associates that Ronna McDaniel and the GOP bailed on the election by Wednesday morning. Ronna McDaniel and the Republican Party did nothing to protect the votes. They did nothing when Republicans were locked out of the counting rooms. They did nothing when unexplained ballots kept coming through the door until Joe Biden “won.”
The GOP did nothing when a driver for USPS discovered he was carrying completed ballots from New York state to Pennsylvania days before the election.
In 2022 when 61% of the election centers in Maricopa County had machines that quit working on Election Day Ronna McDaniel and the GOP were absent. The exceptional slate of GOP candidates were robbed their victories. The GOP was long gone.
Ronna McDaniel has done nothing to ensure Republican voters that their vote will count in the 2024 election.
The Republican Party has done nothing.
On Tuesday the criminal Biden regime arraigned President Donald Trump, the leading GOP candidate, on trumped-up documents charges. Joe Biden stole classified documents for 40 years. The FBI and DOJ looked the other way. Trump took documents as president which is not a crime. He now faces up to 400 years in prison for the latest manufactured crime by the tyrannical regime.
On Tuesday Ronna McDaniel was busy releasing the new logo for the 2024 RNC in Milwaukee.
We are losing the country to committed communists and lawless leftists and Ronna McDaniel and Republicans are unwilling to fight back.
If Democrats steal another win in 2024 the US middle class will be decimated. Democrats will fill the remaining courts with far-left radicals to pervert the laws and jail conservatives.
Trending: AWFUL: 20 Republicans Vote with Democrats – Refuse to Censure Serial Liar Adam Schiff – Resolution Fails in House… UPDATE: Here is the List of RINOs Who Voted with Democrats
The Republican Party is absent. They hate their voters.
Ronna McDaniel is a danger to the future of the country. We need men and women who will fight for us. Not this.

Texas Reinstates Election Fraud as a Felony Crime with a Maximum 20-Year Prison Sentence
By Jim Hoft Jun. 15, 2023 8:30 am80 Comments
Raquel Rodriguez was arrested for election fraud in 2021 in Texas.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a significant bill on Tuesday that intensifies the state’s stance against election fraud.
The new law, known as House Bill 1243, has reinstated election fraud as a serious criminal offense – a felony that carries a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
Governor Abbott has been clear about his support for the new law. He even took to Twitter to share the news, writing, “I signed a law that makes election fraud a felony in Texas. Voting illegally can lead to a 20-year sentence. Don’t mess with Texas elections.”
According to the Dallas News, election fraud’s classification in Texas has been a roller coaster ride in recent years. Only a few years ago, a Republican-led initiative in the Texas House opted to reduce the penalty for election fraud from a felony to a misdemeanor. This was done in response to rising concerns over the possibility of accidental illegal voting.
However, the tide has turned again as lawmakers have decided to reinstate the felony classification. The bill was passed in the House on April 28, 2023, with a vote of 88-60, and was later approved in the Senate with a 19-11 vote on May 24. The law will officially come into effect on September 1, 2023.
The sponsor of the bill, Representative Cole Hefner, has been vocal about the need for the law. He asserts that its primary goal is to bolster Texans’ confidence in the voting process.
In Hefner’s words, “We must ensure that Texans are confident that the legitimate votes they cast will be counted and are not canceled out by someone who has knowingly or intentionally cast an illegal ballot.”
The Republican Party in Texas has continuously made election fraud a key issue, especially during President Donald Trump’s tenure as party leader. Following the 2020 election, wherein Trump contested the results of widespread fraud, there was an amplified push for comprehensive election laws. This led to the enactment of significant legislation in 2021.
The 2021 law brought several changes to the mail ballot process, including the introduction of new voter ID checks.
The Gateway Pundit reported in 2021 that Raquel Rodriguez, a consultant for GOP House candidate Mauro Garza was caught on camera coercing and bribing voters into voting Democrat.
Later on, Rodriguez admits that what she is doing is illegal and brags about giving the elderly voter a pretty shawl as a gift for her Democrat vote!
Ken Paxton announced Raquel Rodriguez was arrested for election fraud, illegal voting, unlawfully assisting people voting by mail, and unlawfully possessing an official ballot following the Project Veritas expose.
In 2019, Texas Secretary of State David Whitley announced a voter fraud alert after 95,000 individuals identified by DPS as non-U.S. citizens have a matching voter registration record in Texas, approximately 58,000 of whom have voted in one or more Texas elections.
And during the 2022 midterm election, more than 16,000 ballots were rejected.

EXPLOSIVE: Halderman Report Released in Georgia – Confirms VOTES CAN BE ALTERED Through Defective Dominion Voting Machines – Rafensperger Hid This From Public – Garland Favorito Weighs In
By Jim Hoft Jun. 15, 2023 12:10 pm130 Comments
In June 2022 The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft reported that an Obama judge had sealed the much anticipated Halderman Report on election voting machines using in Georgia.
Corrupt Obama Judge Amy Totenberg sealed and covered up the results of an investigation of voting machines in Georgia. This report has still not been released. This week CISA released a report showing material discrepancies in these systems while attempting to downplay these material issues.
Corrupt Obama Judge Amy Totenberg s the sister of NPR’s far-left correspondent Nina Totenberg.
We first reported on Obama Judge Totenberg in 2018 when she got involved in that election and tried to steal the Georgia governor’s race for Democrat Stacey Abrams.
Judge Totenberg is the corrupt judge who also allowed Hillary’s attorney Marc Elias to use the 14th Amendment to try and prevent Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from running in the 2022 Election:
In 2021, Judge Totenberg committed her gravest offense as a judge. She sealed and covered up the results of the Halderman report in Georgia. Up until this week we did not know what is in this report. Halderman’s investigation into the voting machines in Georgia started before the 2020 Election and was completed in July 2021.
Steve Bannon interviewed Kurt Olsen, about cybersecurity analyst, J. Alex Halderman, who found flaws in Dominion voting machines and warned about the potential for future attacks. Judge Totenberg sealed the report. According to court documents, Halderman wrote his report after he was given 12 weeks of access to an unused Dominion ICX voting machine. Professor Halderman requested the report to be unsealed to be shared with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a standalone United States federal agency responsible for our infrastructure, including our voting systems.
Here is the interview:
The report eventually made it to the CISA and they released an abbreviated report last year. Many believe that this CISA report was released in an effort to mitigate the results from the Halderman Report when it is finally released.
The Halderman Report was finally released this week. The report confirms that votes can be altered in the Dominion voting machines. In fact, the report reveals that the Dominion software can be hacked.
On Thursday VoterGA founder Garland Favorito joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to discuss the findings from the explosive report.
Trump-hating Secretary of State Raffensperger hid this information from the public until now. Why is that?
Here is a copy of the Halderman Report released this week.
Halderman Report on Georgi… by Jim Hoft
Garland Favorito brought the receipts with him on The War Room.
Garland Favorito: Finally, just yesterday I believe this report was released and it has some amazing findings that basically say what we have been saying all along. What Mike (Lindell) has been saying, what you and I have been saying, and so many people, that the system is very insecure. It can be hacked.
So what Dr. Halderman did is he looked at only the ballot marking device part of the system. This (investigation and report) is limited to that. It doesn’t actually even include the scanners which have another incredibly vulnerable. Which we have already found have been compromised in the 2020 election in Fulton County. So that’s the background, Steve, of all of what’s been going on.
Steve Bannon: I just want to make sure. I want you go through the slides. Holleman’s totally independent, right? He’s some guy that’s an expert in the field. He’s a subject matter expert. He has no axe to grind on this, correct?
Garland Favorito: Absolutely. And if anything, he leans far more on the Democrat side than the Republican. But as you said, he’s an independent professor. Certainly has no axe to grind, particularly for Donald Trump or any Republicans…
…It was a titanic fight. People from all over different organizations have requested that this report be released for the security of their own voting systems. The Secretary of State of Louisiana requested that it be released. OAN requested that it would be released for part of their lawsuit. I think Fox News as well, because Dominion is suing them. It’s critical information, but it’s critical to the security of elections in the country because you could do Dr. Halderman could have done the same thing to a different vendor as well.
Slide two if Cameron has that already. But basically this is about what we call the Dominion ICX, which is the ballot marking device. And — Dr. Holleman says that… the ICX suffers from critical vulnerabilities that can be exploited to subvert all of its security mechanisms. He goes on to say that he demonstrates that these vulnerabilities provide multiple routes by which attackers can install malicious software on Georgia ballot marking devices. And he continues on, he says, “I explain how such malware can alter voters’ votes while subverting all of the procedural protections practiced by the state. That’s about as damning as you can get.
You go on to number slide three, and he says that attackers can alter the QR codes on the printed ballots to modify voter selections. The QR code, Steve, as you know, contains the votes. The votes are accumulated out of the QR code. The system does not accumulate what the voter actually can see on text. And he also found that the attackers can forge or manipulate the smart cards that the ballot marking device uses to authenticate technicians, poll works, and voters you can manipulate. He goes on to show how they are forged. He actually forged the cards and did all sorts of things as part of his analysis.
So flipping on to the next slide, he says that the software update that Georgia installed in October 2020 left Georgia’s ballot marking devices in a state where anyone can install malware with only brief physical access to the machines. And he goes on to say, I showed that this problem can potentially be exploited in the polling place even by nontechnical voters. Go on to the next slide. And he goes on to say, I demonstrate that attackers can execute arbitrary code with root supervisory privileges, which means that. You have control of everything on the machine.
And he says by altering the election definition file that county workers copy to every BMD before each election, this has been the key point of our concerns, is that this election definition file comes from the state, and the state propagates this to every county, which propagates it to every voting machine. And Professor Holland again says that attackers could exploit this to spread malware to all ballot marking devices across the county or the entire state. And we believe that has actually been done because in 2017, we found that the Secretary of State’s Election Management Server, the state server, was exposed to the Internet for virtually anyone in the world to place malware on it. So head on to the next slide. The ICX contains numerous unnecessary Android applications.
And he talks about a terminal emulator that has a supervisory command interface that overrides all of the access controls. So he goes on to say that an attacker can alter the ballot marking devices audit logs simply by opening them in the on screen text editor application. So you could literally audit you could audit the audit logs just like you would create or change a Word document. That’s how easy that would be.
Going on to the next slide. He says that I developed a series of proof of concept attacks, which he goes over in his 96-page report. And he says that – vulnerabilities in the ballot marking device could be used to change the personal votes of individual Georgia voters, it is very likely that there are other equally critical flaws that are yet to be discovered…
…He said that attackers only have to find one of the flaws. They don’t have to find them all. He found I don’t know how many, probably a dozen or more.
Next slide. He goes on to say that the ICX BMDs that’s the Dominion ICX ballot marking devices are not sufficiently secured against technical compromise to withstand vote-altering attacks by bad actors who are likely to attack future elections in Georgia… Despite the addition of a paper trail, the malware can still change individual votes and most election outcomes without detection. And then we’ve got just one or two more slides.
The next slide: Using vulnerable ICX BMDs for all in-person voters, as Georgia does, greatly magnifies the security risk compared to jurisdictions that just use handmark paper ballots but provide the ballot marking devices to the voters upon request. So in other words, if you have a voter with an impairment, they need ballot marking device. But when you give this ballot marking device to every single voter, it increases the security risk by an incredible order of magnitude. And Dr. Haldeman goes on to say that the critical vulnerabilities in the ICX indicate that it was developed without sufficient attention to security during design, software engineering and testing. Certainly, I think that is true because why would a vendor come out with a QR-coded voting system after we had 15 years of complaints against the unverifiable voting of the old paperless DREs these systems? And it’s not just Dominion, it’s E&S as well. They have one. They are ill-conceived from the point that they were originally designed.

You Heathens” – Viewers Angered After All Three “Jeopardy!” Contestants Get Stumped by “Easy” Biblical Question (VIDEO)
By Cullen Linebarger Jun. 15, 2023 8:45 am146 Comments
Tuesday night’s Jeopardy! episode represented a textbook example of how far America has fallen away from God.
As Fox News reported, Jeopardy! fans were angered after all three so-called “genius” contestants failed to answer what the network described as an “easy” Biblical question (it was).
Jeopardy host Mayim Bialik asked contestants to solve a clue which was Matthew 6:9 says ‘Our Father, which art in heaven,” (this) “be thy name.”
The answer of course is “hallowed.” It is part of the Lord’s Prayer which all Christians worldwide learn at a young age.
The Lord’s Prayer is probably the most cited prayer in all of Christianity. Even some non-religious individuals know it as well.

Pro-Russian Hacktivist Groups ‘KillNet, Anonymous Sudan, and REvil’ Announce to Destroy European Banking System in the “Next 48 Hours”: Report
By Jim Hoft Jun. 15, 2023 8:15 am133 Comments
In an unprecedented move, the unification of three notorious hacktivist groups, KillNet, Anonymous Sudan, and REvil, declared a cyber war on European banks.
The three hacker groups declared their intention to unleash a massive cyber onslaught on the European banking system, threatening to bring it to its knees within “48 hours”(the information was relevant as of yesterday), Russian online newspaper Lenta.ru reported Wednesday.
In a published video, KillNet, a pro-Russian hacktivist group, made a chilling declaration, stating that their upcoming cyber attack is not a warning but a mere fact. “You have not faced such issues yet,” the representative of KillNet stated, indicating the severity of the planned attack.

Traveling to Florida a felony? Georgians could be impacted by new law
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation considered to be among the country’s toughest crackdowns on illegal immigration. There are implications for Georgia.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Report for America are partnering to add more journalists to cover topics important to our community. Please help us fund this work by donating at ajc.com/give.
Andrea Hinojosa is an aid worker embedded in rural South Georgia’s immigrant farmworker communities.
Through the Southeast Georgia Communities Project, a nonprofit she founded in 1995, Hinojosa has for years driven undocumented farmworkers to doctor appointments in the Jacksonville, Fla. area, a medical hub for the region. The patients can’t go to the hospitals by themselves because they aren’t eligible for Georgia driver’s licenses.
Starting next month, the road trips to Jacksonville could land Hinojosa in jail – a product of a bill Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law in May, which imposes criminal penalties and steep fines on people who transport immigrants without legal status into Florida. The move, which DeSantis said is aimed at restricting human smuggling, will have significant implications for the South Georgia immigrant communities who routinely cross into Florida for leisure, health care, or family reasons.
It’s another fear factor that people are going to have to deal with,” Hinojosa said. “I was telling (an employee), ‘I guess our trips to Florida will have to cease.’ You know, we can’t take that risk. We both have families. … There’s nothing we can do about it.”
The new immigration law goes into effect July 1, but Hinojosa said a broad chilling effect is already being felt, with families that have undocumented members cancelling Florida vacations.

California authorities seize enough fentanyl in San Francisco to kill city’s entire population nearly 3 times over
More than 4.2 kilograms of fentanyl has been seized in the past six weeks.
ByMorgan Winsor
June 15, 2023, 4:30 AM
California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced late Wednesday that the state’s highway patrol has seized enough fentanyl in San Francisco in the past six weeks to kill the city’s entire population nearly three times over.
Since the governor launched a public safety partnership between the city and state on May 1, the California Highway Patrol has seized more than 4.2 kilograms of fentanyl in the Tenderloin neighborhood and the immediate surrounding area of San Francisco. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration considers a lethal dose of fentanyl to be 2 milligrams. One kilogram has the potential to kill 500,000 people, and the amount seized in San Francisco is enough to potentially kill 2.1 million people, according to a press release from Newsom’s office.

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (AP) — A Detroit-area community has banned LGBTQ+ flags from publicly owned flagpoles after a tense hourslong meeting that raised questions about discrimination, religion and the city’s reputation for welcoming newcomers.
In protest, a woman speaking during the public comment portion of the Hamtramck City Council meeting kissed a woman standing next to her Tuesday night.
“You guys are welcome,” council member Nayeem Choudhury said. “(But) why do you have to have the flag shown on government property to be represented? You’re already represented. We already know who you are.”

Kudlow on Consumers’ Research Report About Bank of America: ‘The Worst Woke Story I’ve Seen’
In this Dec. 7, 2011 photo, a woman passes a Bank of America office branch, in New York. Bank of America said Jan. 19, 2012, it made $2 billion in the last three months of 2011 from selling its stake in a Chinese bank and selling debt. That offset losses …
This is the worst woke story I’ve seen,” Fox Business host Larry Kudlow said about Bank of America’s use of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics against its own customers.
Kudlow made his comments during a Friday interview on his WABC radio show with Breitbart Economics Editor John Carney. The topic of discussion was a Breitbart report about the “Bank of UnAmerica” ad campaign launched by the advocacy group Consumers’ Research highlighting Bank of America’s ESG agenda.
“There’s this tremendous story up on Breitbart about Bank of America’s wokeness,” Kudlow said. “I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s, I guess, the second largest bank in the United States monitoring your purchases, tracking your emissions, helping fund abortions, attacking your Second Amendment rights, and forcing environment, social, and governance metrics (ESG) to potentially lock individuals and businesses out of key banking services.”

Political Leanings Dictated COVID Vaccine Uptake: 2021 Federal memo
Two days before Prime Minister, Justine Trudeau announced the 2021 election a confidential government memo indicated the decision to receive the COVID vaccine e was split along party lines.
The memo from the Privy Council Office, dated August 13, 2021 and titled Emerging Evidence of Covid-19 said voters who supported the Liberal and NDP were more likely to get a Covid-19 shot than Conservative voters.
The memo obtained through an access to information request, according to Blacklock’s reporter on June and dated 2 days before Trudeau called the election on August 15, 2021.
At the time, Trudeau announced he would campaign on a mandatory vaccination policy, which would see unvaccinated Canadians banned from travel, fired from public service jobs and, in many provinces refused entry to places the government deemed non-essential, like, movie restaurants, pools, fitness centres, movie theatres and museums.
“We’ve seen where Conservatives backbenchers have referred to some of the government’s decisions as tyrannical in terms of how we’re creating mandates for vaccines for people on trains and airplanes”, he said at the time. “Well the answer to the tyranny is have an election”.
Trudeau added that those who disagree with the direction the government was taking “should have an opportunity to make themselves heard. That’s what this election is all about. It’s allowing Canadians to weigh in”.
The memo stated that the most common factors positively associated with the intention to vaccinate were male gender, older age, higher education, adequate knowledge of health literacy, trust in experts and government, history of prior influenza vaccines, higher socioeconomic status and heightened worry and concern About Covid-19.
Partisanship was associated with intention to vaccinate. Those who voted Liberal/Democratic expressed intention to vaccinate compared to those who voted for other parties. Alberta and Saskatchewan have the highest percentage of the population who do not intend to vaccinate.
At the time, the Federal Liberal Party had no seats in either of the 2 Prairie provinces.
A subsequent Privy Council memo on August 19, 2021, titled “Closing the Gap For Vaccine Hesitancy During the Last Mile of Vaccine Rollout”, said there were “pockets of vaccine hesitancy in parts of Canada that traditionally voted Conservative”.
“There are pockets across the country of low vaccine uptaking including Northern parts of BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and rural Southern Ontario and Southern Manitoba. Reasons for lower uptake in these regions are multi factorial and complex and include access issues, prevailing ideologies, regional industry, demographics and more”, said the memo.
In the 2021 election, the Liberal Party was returned to power with 32.6% of the popular vote, less than the 2019 election captured 33.1% of the vote.
The second memo, noted during the 2021 election campaign, Canada already had one of the highest rates of voluntary vaccination in the world, without mandatory policies.
Canada is among the top countries in the world in terms of 1 dose and we are quickly gaining ground on the second dose coverage, it said.
The government document suggested an estimated 72% of all Canadians had received at least 1 Covid shot as the UK (70%), France (67%), Germany (62%), and the United States (59 %) Blacklock reported.
Will future memos speak of the number of vaccine injured and dead in Canada? Where Canada stands in all cause mortality?
Will they address the number of doctors, nurses and healthcare workers who lost their jobs because they refused the not so safe and effective jabs?
Polls now show 80% of Canadians want the Liberal out. Are people finally realizing what this government and the NDP have done by mandating the not so safe and effective vaccines?
Will we have trials, arrests?
Hundreds of Absentee Ballots from 2020 Election Found In Michigan Storage Unit
By Anthony Scott Jun. 15, 2023 1:20 pm0 Comments
Michigan police are investigating hundreds of absentee ballots that were discovered in a storage unit in Thetford, Michigan.
WWMT reported Rachel Stanke, who serves as the Thetford Township Supervisor, alerted the Michigan state police in 2022 over the possibility of absentee ballots being stored in an improper manner.
After being alerted the MSP launched an investigation and discovered close to 300 absentee ballots inside of a storage unit.
Since alerting the police, Stanke heard no further information regarding the investigation which led her to file a FOIA request to MSP asking for information about the investigation.
Stanke’s FOIA request was granted by MSP and revealed 289 ballots were discovered inside a storage unit “that was rented by a former township employee whose name has been redacted.”

JUST IN: Global Cyberattack Hits Multiple US Federal Government Agencies
By Jim Hoft Jun. 15, 2023 11:41 am278 Comments
A global cyberattack exploiting a flaw in widely-used software has struck several US federal government agencies, triggering an immediate and rigorous response from cybersecurity officials.
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) confirmed the attacks in a statement to CNN.
“CISA is providing support to several federal agencies that have experienced intrusions,” said Eric Goldstein, CISA’s Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity. “We are working urgently to understand impacts and ensure timely remediation.”
The officials have yet to confirm whether the recent string of intrusions is the work of a Russian-speaking ransomware group claiming responsibility for a string of cyberattacks.
The Gateway Pundit reported Thursday that three notorious hacktivist groups, KillNet, Anonymous Sudan, and REvil, declared a cyber war on the West.

Donald Trump Got Arrested Because Joe Biden Took a $5 million Bribe from a Ukrainian Oligarch
By Jim Hoft Jun. 15, 2023 10:30 am239 Comments
Guest post by Bill Hennessey at Hennesey’s View on Sustack
If you get your news from CNN, you probably don’t know that the FBI learned in 2017 from one of its most treasured informants that Burisma paid Joe Biden $5 million to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired.
Joe did his job well, and he’s happy to tell you about it. Watch:
If you’re an entrepreneur, you might like the ROI of bribing Joe Biden. He will get you a billion dollar loan guarantee for $5 million. That’s a great investment if you have no scruples.
In addition to evidence of the felony, the FBI was aware of 17 audio tapes discussing the bribe and the expected deliverables. Fifteen of those tapes include Hunter Biden. Two of the tapes include Joe Biden.
Last week, an FBI whistleblower informed Congress of the existence of the FBI’s evidence against Biden. He or she disclosed the existence of a form FD-1023 that documents this damning crime against the United States.
FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to provide the unclassified FD-1023 when demanded by Congressional oversight committees. Only under the threat of criminal contempt of Congress did Wray partially relent. Wray allowed a small number of oversight members to view a highly-redacted copy of the unclassified document in secure room (SCIF).
One of the many redactions hid the existence of the 17 smoking-gun audio tapes. Senator Grassley learned of the content of this redaction from a whistleblower, who has likely been exterminated by the FBI’s hitmen.
Despite public knowledge of the bribery case, the FBI continues to stonewall Congress, as documented in this Zero Hedge report from earlier today.
This makes Joe Biden the first US president to have been provably involved in a cash-for-policy bribe.
Yet, not a single mainstream news outlet has reported on the crime of the millennium. New York Times, Washington Post, USAToday, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS refuse to allow mention of Biden’s felony. I haven’t checked, by you can assume that Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tik Tok censor any mention of Biden’s bribes. Thus, Tucker Carlson was correct in lamenting that the American people are least informed people in the world —- probably in history.
What’s more, the DOJ rushed to indict Trump on the day the proof of Biden’s corruption broke. This was an intentional move by Biden, AG Merrick Garland, and prosecuting thug Jack Smith to give the media cover. Biden ordered the phony arrest of his leading political opponent in order to whitewash news of his own felony.
This is why I say “the republic has fallen.” At this moment, the United States does not have a government open to the public, nor is the United States a nation of laws. We obey the arbitrary rule of other men who were never elected to anything—the Deep State, the administrative state, the bureaucracy, whatever you want to call it.
Yet, most Americans are unaware that the head of this government takes bribes from foreigners to change US policy.
This is why we are funding Ukraine’s war against Russia, but this is also why Joe Biden is president. The FBI had the goods on him, and they could force him to their bidding. In this sense, Joe Biden, through his own sin, has become a victim—a slave to the Deep State.
And now you know why the FBI must be abolished and all former FBI employees barred from any position of trust in the United States. I am sure some good, innocent people will be swept up in that broad dragnet, but those good, innocent people did not speak up when they should have. They followed orders and did their jobs, like the good Germans in the 1930s.
Most importantly, God chose us to inhabit this continent at the moment in time when the United States republic was surreptitiously replaced by an evil empire. We must ask ourselves, “why?” and ask God, “what is my mission?”
Remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood. The source of the FBI’s power is not the Constitution or the laws of the country, but preternatural forces who seek the ruin of souls.
Pray for clarity in your mission. Pray for understanding of why God put you in the middle of this historical collapse of freedom. Only personal divine inspiration will show you and me the way out. God sees in you the strength, character, and resolve needed for this crisis. If He didn’t, you wouldn’t be here now.

Federal Grand Jury Indicts Pentagon Leaker Jack Teixeira – 6 Counts of Willful Retention and Transmission of Classified Documents Relating to National Defense
By Cristina Laila Jun. 15, 2023 4:20 pm22 Comments
A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted alleged Pentagon leaker Jack Teixeira.
US National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, 21, was charged with 6 counts of willful retention and transmission of classified information related to national defense, the DOJ said.
“Each of the charges calls for up to 10 years in prison, if convicted.” ABC News reported.
The unauthorized removal, retention and transmission of classified information jeopardizes our nation’s security. Individuals granted access to classified materials have a fundamental duty to safeguard the information for the safety of the United States, our active service members, its citizens and its allies,” acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy said in a statement. “We are committed to ensuring that those entrusted with sensitive national security information adhere to the law.”

Judge Cannon Orders Trump Lawyers to Obtain Security Clearances
By Cristina Laila Jun. 15, 2023 4:40 pm0 Comments
Judge Aileen Cannon ordered Trump’s attorneys and attorneys for Walt Nauta, the co-conspirator charged along with Trump, to obtain security clearances.
It is standard procedure for lawyers to obtain security clearances in cases involving classified documents.
Politico reported:
U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon took one of her first substantive steps Thursday in Donald Trump’s prosecution for amassing military secrets at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
In a brief order, Cannon required all attorneys in the case — for Trump as well as his longtime valet, Walt Nauta, who is charged alongside him as an alleged co-conspirator — to contact the Justice Department about obtaining security clearances. The same instructions apply to any “forthcoming” attorneys, the judge said.
Cannon ordered the attorneys to file a “notice of compliance” by June 20, a relatively rapid pace. Both Trump and Nauta are looking to fill out their legal teams in the coming days. Trump, in particular, has suffered setbacks as several of his veteran lawyers quit the case in the leadup to his indictment, the result of internal turmoil that has spilled into public view.
There are no additional dates set yet in the case against Trump, whose historic arraignment was completed on Tuesday in Miami. Nauta’s arraignment was postponed until June 27 because he did not yet have a lawyer who is a member of the bar in the federal court in south Florida.
According to the federal indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, Trump was charged with 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other charges stemming from notes memorialized by Trump’s lawyer.
The other 6 charges include conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheme to conceal and false statements and misrepresentations.
Nauta was charged along with Trump in counts 32, 33, 43, 35, and 36.
The charges include conspiracy, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation and scheme to conceal.
Walt Nauta was also charged alone in count 38: False statements and misrepresentations.
US District Judge for the Southern District of Florida Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, was assigned to oversee Trump’s federal case in Miami and the left is pressuring her to recuse herself.
The New York Times launched an attack on Cannon, 42, this week and said she has ‘scant experience running criminal trials.’

Comer Says He Expects to Uncover $20-$30 Million in Illicit Payments Made to Biden Crime Family (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila Jun. 15, 2023 3:40 pm135 Comments
House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Thursday said he expects to uncover $20-$30 million in illicit payments made to the Biden Crime Family.
“If this is all true about a sitting president – when he was vice president – influence peddling, accepting money from foreign nationals so that he could turn around and make changes in policy for America so he could pocket the money. If that’s true, why isn’t he impeached already?” Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo asked Comer. “And if it’s true that the FBI is doing nothing about it, why isn’t [FBI Director] Christopher Wray on his heels as well?”
Comer described the FBI as “an organization in disarray.”
“This is going to be hard to Biden to explain, this is not going to go away, and I think eventually the mainstream media is going to start asking the real questions,” Comer said.
“What number are you up to now? How much have you identified of the money he’s [Biden] taken in from foreign nationals?” Bartiromo asked.
Comer replied, “We have more bank records coming in but we’re gonna exceed $10 million this week but I think we’ll get up to $20-$30 million.”
WATCH:
Last month Comer identified the NINE Bidens implicated in corruption.
“Joe Biden’s son. Joe Biden’s brother. Joe Biden’s brother’s wife. Hunter Biden’s girlfriend/Beau Biden’s widow, Hunter Biden’s ex-wife. Hunter Biden’s current wife. And 3 children of the president’s son and the president’s brother. So we’re talking about grandchildren – a grandchild. That’s odd. Most people that work hard every day a grandchild doesn’t get a wire from a foreign national,” Comer said.
1. Hunter Biden
2. James Biden
3. Sara Biden
4. Hallie Biden
5. Kathleen Biden
6. Melissa Biden
7. Niece/nephew
8. Niece/nephew
9. Grandchild
James Comer said the Biden family received over $10 million from foreign nationals while Joe Biden was Vice President.
The countries involved directly correlated with Joe Biden’s work as Vice President.
This is textbook money laundering and influence peddling.
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene last week emerged from the SCIF and revealed explosive information about the Biden bribery document.
The Ukraine-Biden-bribery evidence was first presented to the FBI by a trusted, highly credible, well paid informant back in 2017.
Meanwhile Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden enjoyed a highly lucrative position as a board member of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company.
According to MTG, the bribery allegations involve Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian oligarch who hired Hunter Biden to serve on the board of Burisma Holdings.
“He [Burisma owner] paid $5 million to one Biden and he paid $5 million to another Biden and it was all a bribery to get Shokin fired and end the investigation into Burisma,” MTG said.
According to Marjorie Taylor Greene, the informant said the Burisma owner claimed to have two pieces of evidence showing proof of payment to Hunter and specifically Joe Biden.
Senator Grassley on Monday revealed the Ukrainian foreign national in the Biden-Burisma bribe scheme has 17 audio recordings of Joe and Hunter Biden he kept as an “insurance policy.”

~Hi Martin~You see it's 8:25 pm and there are only 29 comments! No fun videos, just talking heads.
I've been watching tanks and APCs being blown up on the Zaporozhia front where the flabby counteroffensive is underway. It's on Telegram, too disturbing to share even if it were possible.
Maybe you'll come back after the weekend?
I miss you.

A Skeptic’s Best Guess On Final Map (Revised)
Our previous Best Guess was based on a political solution. It’s clear now that lives lost is not a factor. A political solution is now all but ruled out. The west wants to bleed Russia, without any particular strategy. The west will fight to the last Ukrainian Soldier and Polish Mercenary.
When envisioning a final map, we must take into consideration the SMO stated goals, and these other factors.
1. A peaceful settlement is no longer possible.
2. Ukraine shells civilians and nuclear power plants. A buffer zone and defensible terrain is needed.
3. Ukraine will use the Dnieper River water supplies as a tactical weapon. Control of the dams on the river is required to remove the threat downstream.
4. Strikes on Russia from Ukraine controlled Oblasts east of the Dnieper are too much of a threat without a settlement. A buffer is needed.
5. Outside of a peaceful settlement, the post war Ukraine economy will need to be subdued to keep the threat down. Loss of all ports and eastern agriculture will help accomplish that.
6. Large numbers of civilians have fled areas east of the Dnieper. Those remaining are more likely to accept Russian control.
7. Sharing a river border with Kiev will give Russia tactical leverage should it be needed. Exchanging shells across the new border will have far greater consequences for Ukraine, with Kiev on the front line.
Our map sees the Dnieper River as the border in the north from Belarus to Cherkasy, and then a relatively straight line from Cherkasy to the northern border of Transnistria.
The Red Line…
The Purple Line…
