Grieving Mother Desperate For Answers After FBI Busts Down Door, Fatally Shoots Her Disabled Veteran Son in Pre-Dawn Raid
By Cristina Laila Aug. 26, 2023 9:00 am224 Comments
A family is desperately seeking answers after FBI agents busted down the door and killed their relative in a pre-dawn raid last week.
The FBI is refusing to tell a grieving mother why they showed up in armored vehicles at 6 am last Wednesday and fatally shot her son.
According to WBBJ, FBI agents showed up at a residence in Henderson, Tennessee to serve a man named Theodore Deschler an arrest warrant when things turned deadly.
A neighbor told WBBJ he woke up at 6 am after he heard a loud bang.
“I was woken up at about six o’clock this morning. I heard a loud bang. Then I heard a couple more. I heard the loudspeakers, ‘Come out with your hands up. We’re the FBI. We’re not going anywhere.’ Before I knew it, I was coming out to see what was going on and watched them bust out their windows,” a neighbor told WBBJ.
Theodore’s family believes he was unarmed when the agents busted down the door and threw flashbangs into the home.
“It was a senseless act. You know Teddy was a 100% disabled veteran. He had problems. He had severe PTSD. He had depression but he was getting help for it but this was senseless. He didn’t have a weapon on him. He was just trying to get out of the house because it was filled with tear gas,” Theodore’s mother told WBBJ.
The house was destroyed by tear gas, flashbangs and bullets. Most of the windows were busted out.
The FBI-involved shooting is currently under investigation so the family is in the dark about the details of the raid.
WBBJ reported:
A Chester County family is left with many unanswered questions after their relative was fatally shot during an arrest operation by FBI agents.
Thursday morning an arrest warrant by FBI agents ended in the fatal shooting of a Chester county man named Theodore Deschler. The family says the FBI refuses to tell them why they conducted the arrest warrant and why they shot him, leaving the family searching the house for clues as to what happened to their relative. We visited the residence and the family showed us around the property so we could better understand what happened. At the property, the family showed us where the agents broke multiple windows of the property.
“There’s three up front and two on the sides they broke out…they were shooting flash…smoke grenades,” said Russell Deschler, Brother of the Suspect.
They used flashbangs, destroyed the yard with trucks, shot through a refrigerator, broke tree limbs, and even knocked down a light over the garage because it was suspected to be a camera.
“We believe they broke the windows of the garage so they could shoot. Because if you look, that chair they moved from back there and they were standing on the chair when they shot,” Deschler said.

Chicago Police Union President Calls to House Migrants at City Hall
By Margaret Flavin Aug. 26, 2023 9:15 am33 Comments
Chicagoans are increasingly outraged, and justifiably concerned, at how the City’s leadership is handling the illegal migrant crisis brought on by Joe Biden’s open borders policy.
Despite spending over $100M to care for the illegals arriving in Chicago, the City is so overwhelmed that police stations have been forced to serve as make-shift shelters.
According to the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications, approximately 1,246 illegals are staying temporarily at police stations.
Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara is exasperated with the burden being placed on officers forced to “babysit” illegals.
On Thursday, Catanzara suggested an alternative to using district stations: move migrants to City Hall to sleep in lobbies and open hallways.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
“I don’t think there’s one single one of ’em living in City Hall — whether it’s on the county lobby floor or the City Hall floor. There’s certainly plenty of space to put a couple hundred in there, but I don’t see that happening in their workspace. But they certainly have no problem putting ’em in our workspace,” Catanzara said. “Why be a hypocrite?”
Catanzara said it was “so ridiculous” that “there’s actually mail. Migrants are using police district addresses to receive their mail. They now have CPS out there recruiting migrant children to register for CPS just to have that number in the next two weeks to grab as much tax revenue as they possibly can. Whether these kids come to school or not, they don’t care. This is all a big game to far too many people.”

A woman from Queens, New York randomly shoved an 87-year-old woman resulting in her death last year.
Lauren Pazienda, 27, pleaded guilty to manslaughter this week in exchange for a shorter sentence.
Pazienda will only serve 8 years behind bars after she shoved an elderly woman to the ground and walked away.

Why did Billy Gates want Tedros Ahdanom Ghebreyesus to be the Director-General of the World Health Organization?
Tedros was born in 1965 in Asmara, Eritrea’s capital. He grew up in the Tigray region.
An ethnic Tigray, he became a member of the far left Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF).
He began his POLITICAL career when he joined the hard left organization. He was listed as the 3rd most important member of the TPLF’s politburo standing.
He rose to health minister in 2005.
He was accused of systematic discrimination and human rights abuses by REFUSING emergency HEALTHCARE to ethic groups because of their political affiliation with the opposing political party.
In 2010, Human Rights Watch stated that he withheld aid – food and fertilizer from local villagers.
While he was “health minister” birth rates among Amhara people were significantly lower, physician to population ratio was 5x apart in the two regions, and 2 million Amhara people “disappeared “ off the census.
In 2006, 2009, 2011 cholera outbreaks occurring in Ethiopia. Tedros suddenly – and wrongly – classified cholera as a watery diarrhea. HEALTHCARE WORKERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO REPORT THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE AFFECTED.
Not only was there strong allegations of Tedros covering up 3 cholera epidemics in his country – he did so to supposedly avoid international embarrassment.
A group of American doctors wrote to Tedros in 2017 saying “Your silence about what is clearly a massive cholera epidemic in Sudan daily becomes more reprehensible. The inevitable history that will be written of this cholera epidemic will surely cast you in an unforgiving light”, they wrote, adding that Tedros was “fully COMPLICIT in the terrible suffering and dying that continues to spread in East Africa.
So a career politician, with allegations of discrimination to his own countrymen would go on to be the Director-General of the World Health Organization.
Alarms wet off when Tedros appointed Robert Mugabe as “good-will”Ambassador to the WHO. Several former and current WHO staff were appalled at Tedros’s poor judgment.
Hmmm, he seems to be a perfect fit with the monsters of the WEF, EU and all the elites of the world.

Kyle Rittenhouse Sued AGAIN! – Estate of Unstable Child Molester Joseph Rosenbaum Files THIRD Lawsuit Against Rittenhouse and Police For “Wrongful Death”
By Jordan Conradson Aug. 26, 2023 8:00 am201 Comments
Kyle Rittenhouse announced on Twitter yesterday that he is facing his third lawsuit this year from the lunatics who attacked him at a Black Lives Matter riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse shot three men in self-defense after being violently attacked by the rioters, looters, and thugs and was charged with up to 170 years for defending his life.
He was later acquitted of any wrongdoing by a Wisconsin jury of his peers.
Now, the families believe that Rittenhouse owes them for protecting his life from criminals.
Rittenhouse posted on X (Twitter) Friday, “I’m being sued again for defending my life.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Points Finger at Automakers for Skyrocketing Car Thefts — Files Outlandish Lawsuit Against Kia and Hyundai
By Jim H?ft Aug. 26, 2023 7:15 am249 Comments
Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has decided to take legal action against automakers Kia and Hyundai, blaming them for the significant increase in car thefts in the city.
In a lawsuit filed Thursday, Johnson alleges that the companies have a “critical defect” in their vehicles that makes them more susceptible to theft.
For those who have been closely following the rise in crimes in Chicago, the mayor’s lawsuit is an attempt to shift the spotlight away from his own administration’s shortcomings. Crime rates in the city, including car thefts, have been on the rise for several years now because of Democrats’ soft on crime, but the decision to blame car manufacturers rather than address the underlying issues feels nothing short of absurd.
“The impact of car theft on Chicago residents can be deeply destabilizing, particularly for low- to middle-income workers who have fewer options for getting to work and taking care of their families,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson.

“Scanlan, a Republican, said he’s listening and will seek legal advice to ensure that his team thoroughly understands the arguments at play. …

Teacher Assigns Kids ‘Creative Writing’ Project About Accidentally Killing a Female
By Guest Contributor Aug. 26, 2023 10:15 am0 Comments
Guest by post by Peter LaBarbera
This article originally appeared on WND.com
Prompt to 8th-grade students: ‘I didn’t mean to kill her. I only wanted to hurt her’
Parents and citizens in Sparta, Tennessee were outraged after learning that a teacher in the local middle school gave her 8th-grade students a “creative writing” assignment with the following shocking sentence as a prompt: “I didn’t mean to kill her. I only wanted to hurt her, but now her ghost follows me everywhere.”
WND has learned that the teacher at White County Middle School (WCMS) who gave the bizarre assignment is Jessica Griffith, listed as an 8th-grade English Language Arts teacher on the WCMS website. Her baffling writing assignment occurred during the week of Aug. 7.
Griffith told one concerned parent of a White County Middle School student that she “was trying to rush to get a prompt up at the end of class,” according to Nashville NBC affiliate WMV4, which broke the story Tuesday. The news station interviewed parents and a family member who expressed their shock and disappointment at the twisted prompt.
Shelly Davis, mother a student in Griffith’s class, is shown at the White County School Board’s August Board meeting confronting the board over the assignment. According to WMV4, Davis’ son “approached her with the assignment because he was uncomfortable writing it. That is the only reason she would have known about it, she said.”
“He said, ‘Mom, I sat there the rest of the class period, and all I thought was my mind is going to dark places,’” Davis told the school board, according to the broadcast.
Teacher sends apology letter to parents, students
Griffith ultimately met with a group of concerned parents and then wrote an apology letter in which she said: “I have come to realize that the nature of the [writing] prompt was wholly inappropriate and insensitive.”
“Please allow me to express my deepest apologies for my lapse in judgment and the distress it may have caused,” said her apology letter to “my students and their parents.”
The letter was linked to the WMVA story but without Griffith’s name, which was blacked out. WND is the first media to report the instructor’s identity, confirmed by multiple sources, including a parent whose son was in the class and received the perverse writing assignment. That parent spoke to Griffith after the incident, along with other concerned parents.
Holly Miller, a receptionist at the middle school, would not confirm to WND Thursday that Griffith was the teacher in question, and instead referred this reporter to the White Country Board of Education. The Director of White County Schools, Kurt Dronebarger, did not respond to two WND messages by press time.
However, Jennifer Hamblin, a former elected member of the Tennessee State School Board who currently sits on a Tennessee Standards curriculum committee, told WND that she was told directly by a parent whose child was in the class that the teacher was Jessica Griffith.
Griffith’s letter of apology states: “My intention behind the prompt was to encourage innovative and unconventional thinking among the students. I was driven by the desire to present a unique challenge, but I am acutely aware that this motivation clouded my judgment and led me astray from my primary responsibility: the well-being and emotional safety of my students.”
“In my pursuit of creativity, I lost sight of the importance of nurturing an environment that promotes respect, understanding, and comfort for each and every student,” she writes. “To the parents who entrust your children’s education to me, I am profoundly sorry for the concern and worry this incident may have provoked. I thank you for your grace and understanding as I work to rectify this situation. I also want to assure you that I take full responsibility for my actions.”
Jessica Griffith, White County Middle School English Arts teacher (WCMS website)
Griffith states, “I am committed to making amends by collaborating closely with our district’s curriculum supervisor to ensure that all future assignment align seamlessly with the educational objectives set forth by our district.”
Student obeys teacher, writes accidental murder story
Although some students reportedly refused to do the assignment, at least one child completed it. White County School Board member Dewayne Howard told WND that he was given a copy of a student’s completed assignment stemming from the gruesome prompt at the school board’s Aug. 10 meeting. That paper can be read above in the Aug. 15 tweet by Tennessee home schooling advocate Tiffany Boyd.
Following teacher Griffith’s prompt, “I never meant to kill her. I only want to hurt her….,” the 8th-grade student writes in his (or her) paper: “It started out as a 20-yr. old male. His name was Erik. He was at college when the accident happened. Jess who Erik [hated] but they had all classes together [sic]. Erik disliked her so much he wanted to hurt her….”
The student ends the assignment with Erik “shoot[ing] bottles and glass” at Jess. “She fell to the ground and started to bleed,” he writes. “[He] had finally calmed down and realised [sic] what he had done…”
Reacting to the student’s essay, Pastor Dale Walker, president of the Tennessee Pastors Network, told WND, “That’s horrible! And it was brought on by a teacher.”
WMV4 interviewed Madison Meadows, whose younger sister is in the same 8th grade class, and said the assignment made Meadows “and her classmates very uncomfortable.”
“I just feel like it’s wrong all across the board,” Meadows told reporter Lydia Fielder. “When I was in eighth grade, I can recall never having to write about murdering someone. It’s just crazy to me. I have a lot of questions as to why. … If they’re viewing this teacher as a role model, what example is she setting for these kids?”
According to the WMV4 story, parents were satisfied with the (then-publicly unnamed) teacher’s apology, with Davis saying: “We don’t want to see the teacher fired, we just hope she learned from it.”
Pastor, pro-family advocate: apology is not enough
But Walker of the Tennessee Pastors Network said a mere apology letter, and especially one in which the offending teacher’s name was purposely withheld from the public, is not enough to hold the school and the teacher accountable.
“All citizens should find this teacher’s actions very troubling,” Walker said in an Aug. 18 release. “Imagine assigning such a dark writing prompt that talks about killing another human being! This teacher should be immediately suspended and be held accountable for such detestable atrocities.”
School board member Dewayne Howard told WND that “in my mind, the teacher should have been suspended immediately,” noting the contrasting punishment for students, who are suspended if caught drinking alcohol on school grounds.
Walker said the “accidental murder” writing assignment is especially troubling in the wake of the March slaughter at a Nashville Christian elementary school, killing six people including three children. A heavily-armed transgender-identifying woman carried out the attack, and her “manifesto” has yet to be released by authorities, outraging conservatives nationwide.
Walker said, “White County School Board Member Dewayne Howard publicly stated that he would not give a second chance in an instance like this – now is the time for the other School Board members and County Commissioners to boldly stand behind this needed immediate action. A reprimand simply isn’t enough!”
“It is clear why parents are choosing to remove their precious children from public schools that have become centers of diabolical indoctrination. White County School District is right in the heart of the Bible Belt, but it’s clear that public schools are certainly not abiding by biblical principles,” he said.
Linda Harvey, founder and president of Mission America, a Christian group that has been monitoring educational abuses and left-wing indoctrination in schools for three decades, told WND that Griffith had used “extremely bad judgment” in giving her students the prompt.
“In an era when suicide attempts and mental health issues are exploding among our kids, instead of dwelling on death, destruction and possible demonic oppression, can’t we get back to happy and wholesome themes that encourage noble ideas and positive ideals among students?” Harvey said.
She said it was “unconscionable” for a teacher to ask students to even think about harming someone, and said Griffith “ought to be suspended for a period of time with a heavy reprimand in her personal file,” and fired if she commits any other offense.
WND spoke with a Sparta parent of a boy in Griffith’s class, who asked to remain anonymous. He said she “feels horrible about doing it,” and “really wasn’t thinking” when she made the assignment. However, he said, she has “learned from it – that’s the main thing.” He noted that Griffith was only in her second year of teaching, and said he and other concerned parents were told by school authorities that some kind of reprimand of Griffith was forthcoming.
But Hamblin of the Tennessee curriculum committee told WND, “Disciplinary action should align with the behavior, and in this case the disciplinary action just does not seem enough.”
“It still blows my mind,” she said. “The grooming that is going on in schools is mind-boggling.”

Affirmative action moron and race-baiter Joy Reid explains why she despises Donald Trump and why his mugshot is “justice” satisfying her teenage angst:
“As a teenager living in New York, I’ve said it before, this is why I never watched ‘The Apprentice.’ I despised Donald Trump. He signified the rich white guy in Manhattan that absolutely hated and despised me.”
“People like Giuliani and people like Trump persecuted black and brown people in New York, it’s what they did for fun. It’s what they did for pleasure…and still people put like them put him in rap songs. It was an indignity to me that a culture I love would lionize that.”
“So to me this is justice.”

Leo Hohmann: There are Too Many ‘Pigs in the Parlor’: Western Civilization is Sick and Dying; Is it Too Late for a Deliverance?

The news lately is so bizarre that I feel like I’m living in a novel or a horror movie.
We’ve got a former president and candidate for a second term who’s been indicted four times by the current presidential administration, the latest incidence punctuated with a criminal mugshot sent out across the internet. I know some of the charges are coming from the state level in New York and Georgia but it’s obvious they’re all working together with the feds to eliminate this one guy from the presidential race.
As Banks Get Downgraded and Americans Scramble to Protect Retirement Accounts With Physical Gold and Silver, A Faith-Based Company Shows Them How
Nearly the entire island of Maui went up in flames, killing more people than any fire to hit America in 100 years, and the globalist elites are blaming it on “climate change.”
And now we’ve got a rogue government lurching toward a second round of mandates and potential lockdowns.
Natalie Winters is reporting that the federal government has already begun buying COVID-19 equipment and contracting with private consultants to enforce pandemic-era “safety protocols.”
The enforcements could begin as early as next month with mandatory face diapers.
Some of these contracts are scheduled to begin in September and October and many run through 2028. Yes, you read that right, 2028.
Watch Winters below talking about this breaking news story.
So the federal government, led by the Department of Defense, is contracting with private firms to enact fear-based Covid lockdowns 2.0. This is pure fascism — big business working with big government to oppress the people. But that’s how technocracy works.
Technocracy is much different than Marxism or communism. In a Marxist state you have government ownership of the means of production. But in a technocracy, which is the preferred model of self-appointed globalist elites at the World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, Gates Foundation, Club of Rome, United Nations, et al, you have government working in public-private partnerships (PPPs) with large corporations to create, staff and enforce an all-encompassing digital surveillance state. Think of it as Naziism on a global scale with access to modern digital tracking technology. They still believe in eugenics. Still believe they are superior to the rest of us. Still believe the herd of “useless eaters” needs to be culled to a more manageable size.
It’s no accident that the globalists have rolled out their favorite satanic pseudoscientist, Dr. Anthony Fauci. In preparing minds for Covid 2.0, he now openly argues for locking down everyone who has yet to submit to his death jabs. Below, Lord Fauci speaks to us in a video interview with a Wayne State University professor in Detroit.
“If you have a vaccine available, you might want to lock down temporarily so you can get everybody vaccinated,” Fauci says.
He then argues that “lockdowns have a place, but they are not a permanent solution.”
I guess at this point in the interview we are supposed to be completely infused with Stockholm Syndrome, bow down to kiss Fauci’s feet and thank him profusely for his graciousness in not locking us down permanently.
Fauci, the longtime NIAID chief and a multi-millionaire who’s never done anything but work for the government, then declares that “climate change” is “playing a role” in causing pandemics.
He calls for an “international commitment to decrease the carbon imprint in society so you don’t have the kinds of crazy weather we’re having in this country.”
Yes, he actually said that. I don’t know if he believes it, but he did say it. Why? Because he is doing his part to lay the narrative that humans cause climate change and therefore we must change the way we live or be subject to perpetual lockdowns.
He went on to blame the tragedy in Maui on climate change.
It does appear that the Luciferians who brought us Covid 1.0 have something much more draconian up their sleeves in the waning weeks of 2023 and into 2024. The first version was merely a test run for what’s coming. The final implementation stage of their demonic “great reset” will require every human being to be vaxxed, continuously boosted, tagged with a biometric digital ID, and tracked everywhere they go, unable to buy or sell or participate in society without the digital marking.
All of this is being led primarily by globalist elites in the U.S. and Europe. China is already subdued. It appears that the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and most of Europe have already been subjugated. The only nations who still present a problem to the reset crowd are the U.S. and Russia.
America is a nation under demonic oppression that is in desperate need of a deliverance. As I write this, the 1973 book, Pigs in the Parlor, comes to mind. It’s a how-to manual on “confrontational spiritual warfare.” I’m not endorsing the book or its theology. I just remember picking it up in a Christian bookstore some 20 years ago and skimming through it. The title and topic has stuck with me all these years. There comes a point, usually after years of oppression, when a possession becomes so manifest, so complete, that it takes total spiritual warfare to defeat the forces of wickedness which oppress an individual’s soul. The same goes for a nation and a culture. America and the West are in that place. Its culture is so sick from decades of idolatry and worshipping of false gods that nothing short of recogizing what we are up against and then attacking it in the powerful name of Jesus Christ through repentence, constant prayer and fasting will lead to deliverance.
In other words, it’s time to get confrontational. It’s time to stop worrying what they think of us if we don’t put on their putrid masks, or take their poisonous injections. How did that work out in Covid 1.0? The demons walked all over us and laughed on their way out. It’s time to humbly put on the full armor of God, recogize who and what we are up against — undiluted evil — and go to war.

Ohio Democrats Upset After Ballot Board Changes Abortion Amendment Language to Reflect Reality
By Margaret Flavin Aug. 26, 2023 1:10 pm7 Comments
Ohio Democrats are upset at new language added to a proposed amendment which apparently reminds them that their ghoulish support of abortion kills a child.
The updated language has changed the term “fetus” to an “unborn child.”
According to the Ohio Capital Journal members of the Ohio Ballot Board voted 3 to 2 to alter the previous version of the amendment from “abortion may be prohibited after fetal viability” to new language that reads the state must “always allow an unborn child to be aborted at any stage of pregnancy, regardless of viability” when necessary to preserve the health of the mother.

HERE WE GO: Biden Regime Seeks Additional Funding for New COVID-19 Vaccine “That Works” – Warns Everyone Will Get It “No Matter Whether They’ve Gotten It Before or Not”
By Jim H?ft Aug. 26, 2023 12:00 pm525 Comments
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that InfoWars published insider information that alleges the TSA and US Border Patrol will be moving back to 2020-era COVID-19 mandates and restrictions starting in mid-September through mid-October, to include mask mandates on all flights. This is in addition to the confirmed mask-mandate reinstatement at Morris Brown College in Atlanta, GA, and Lionsgate Studios in Santa Monica, CA. Also, a school district in South Texas just outside of San Antonio closed down temporarily due to an ‘uptick’ in COVID cases.
That same week, WarRoom’s Natalie Winters uncovered millions of dollars in funding, awarded primarily to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs and DoD, to ramp up testing and other COVID-19 related.
This was just a week after the NIH appointed Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, a staunch advocate for masks, lockdowns, and vaccine mandates, as the replacement for Dr. Fauci.
To further the suggestion that anotherlockdown scare is in the forecast, on Tuesday, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced funding of $1.4 billion to “support the development of a new generation of tools and technologies to protect against COVID-19 for years to come” according to a press release.
Project NextGen is a key part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to keeping people safe from COVID-19 variants,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “These awards are a catalyst for the program – kickstarting efforts to more quickly develop vaccines and continue to ensure availability of effective treatments.”
Stockpiling Critical Medications Has Never Been More Important
Project NextGen, a $5 billion initiative led by ASPR’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) in partnership with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), coordinates across the federal government and the private sector to advance innovative vaccines and therapeutics into clinical trials, regulatory review, and potential commercial availability for the American people. The project builds on a better understanding of COVID-19 – with HHS developing, using, and constantly re-evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of current vaccines and therapeutics for over three years.
Recipients of the awards include:
$1 billion to four BARDA Clinical Trial partners to support vaccine Phase IIb clinical trial studies: ICON Government and Public Health Solutions, Inc of Hinckley, Ohio; Pharm-Olam, LLC, of Houston, Texas; Technical Resources Intl (TRI), Inc, of Bethesda, Maryland; and Rho Federal Systems, Inc., Durham, North Carolina.
$326 million to Regeneron to support the development of a next-generation monoclonal antibody for COVID-19 prevention.

Biden Regime Declares War on Ceiling Fans to Fight “Climate Change” – Settles on Costly New Scheme that Could Put Small Manufacturers Out of Business
By Cullen Linebarger Aug. 26, 2023 11:15 am217 Comments
First the Biden regime came for your gas stove, then your dishwashers, then gas furnaces and then your water heaters.
Now the Regime is targeting for your ceiling fans, jeopardizing small businesses in the process. Like the other previous schemes, the primary purpose is to advance the Regime’s radical “climate change” agenda.
Fox Business reported Friday that the Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing a new rule that would require ceiling fans to be more “energy efficient.”
The DOE says that proposed rule, which is dated June 22, would save Americans “a significant amount” of energy.

Wildfire Prompts Mandatory Evacuation of Entire Southwestern Louisiana Town – State Officials Say It’s the Largest in State’s History
By Jim H?ft Aug. 26, 2023 2:10 pm172 Comments
Louisiana is currently facing an unprecedented wildfire crisis, with the state experiencing a record-breaking number of fires in August.
In just a few weeks, Louisiana has already witnessed a staggering number of wildfires. According to the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, a total of 441 fires have burned from August 1 to August 24. These fires have scorched over 8,385 acres of land, and that number does not even include the ongoing fire on Tiger Island, estimated to have already consumed more than 20,000 acres.
The Tiger Island Fire in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana, is the state’s largest fire and has burned an estimated 15,000 acres (6,070 hectares) so far, covering around 23 square miles (60 square kilometers), according to AP.
As of Friday evening, there were at least six active fires in Livingston, Sabine, Vernon, and Beauregard Parishes. The rapid spread of these fires has overwhelmed state and local officials, who are now dealing with multiple fire incidents simultaneously.
“This is unprecedented. We’ve never had to fight this many fires simultaneously and at this duration. We’re fighting between 25 and 30 (wildfires) today,” Mike Strain, the commissioner for Louisiana’s Department of Agriculture and Forestry, said during a press conference Friday.
“It’s burning very intensely. It’s moving pretty fast, and you can feel the air picking up. That’s from the heat of the fire sucking air into the fire,” he added.
Multiple towns in southwestern Louisiana have been placed under mandatory evacuation orders, and state officials have implemented a burn ban in an attempt to control the situation.
The town of Merryville, located near the Louisiana-Texas border, was forced to evacuate its 1,200 residents on Thursday night. The evacuation order remains in effect, as the fire continues to pose a threat to the town. There have been no reported injuries.
More from FOX Weather:
According to the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office, containment decreased from 85% to 50% by Friday morning due to constantly shifting wind conditions and the dry conditions of the vegetation. By Friday evening, the Forestry Department reported that containment stood slightly above 50%. The area of concentration was east of the town of Merryville, which lies close to the Louisiana-Texas border.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he has deployed 89 firefighters, paramedics and emergency management personnel along with emergency response resources to Louisiana to help combat the devastating wildfires currently burning near the Texas-Louisiana border and across the Pelican State.
High temperatures, drought and variable winds prompted the NWS to issue a Fire Weather Warning through Friday night for critical to extreme fire weather conditions.
“This is rapidly becoming the biggest fire danger threat this area has had since the summer of 2000,” the National Weather Service office in Lake Charles office warned. “Fires can spread rapidly in these conditions.”

Third-Largest U.S. Oil Refinery Forced to Shut Down Following Devastating Fire in Garyville, Louisiana (VIDEO)

A towering inferno erupted at a south Louisiana oil refinery on Friday morning, sending plumes of black smoke and forcing an emergency evacuation of residents within a two-mile radius. Although no injuries were reported, the incident has reignited concerns about the safety of such facilities, especially as it’s the third fire to hit the plant in less than a year.
The fire broke out around 8:30 a.m. at the Marathon Petroleum facility in Garyville, situated about 30 miles northwest of New Orleans, according to WBRZ.
Officials from St. John the Baptist Parish reported that the incident involved a naphtha release and a fire at one of the refinery’s storage tanks. Naphtha is a flammable and toxic kind of raw petrol or gasoline distilled from crude oil and a raw material for the chemical industry, which is often used in soaps and varnishes.
St. John Parish President Jaclyn Hotard declared an emergency soon after the incident was reported, and an evacuation order was swiftly enacted for residents within a two-mile radius of the blaze. That order was lifted by 2:20 p.m., after emergency crews managed to bring the fire under control and limit it to two damaged storage tanks.
Bloomberg reported:
Diesel futures surged to a seven-month high in New York after Marathon Petroleum Corp. said it was shutting the third largest US oil refinery following a blaze at a storage tank.
Diesel rose 5% while gasoline futures jumped about 4%. The outage threatens to deplete already below-average distillates stockpiles at a time when US demand for the fuel is set to rise going into the harvest and heating seasons.
Garyville, located on the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, produces about 265,000 barrels a day of gasoline, or about 3% total US consumption. It also makes about 230,000 barrels per day of diesel, according to Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates in Houston. The refinery has a crude processing capacity of 596,000 barrels a day.
The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality “is conducting monitoring in the community adjacent to the site and all readings are nondetect,” according to spokesperson Gregory Langley.
The Environmental Protection Agency said it has deployed a federal coordinator to the site to oversee the response and provide technical support, including emergency response air monitoring in downwind communities. A firefighter is being evaluated for heat stress and two storage tanks have been damaged, according to Marathon spokesperson.

WOW! Biden’s Staffers Quietly Met with Jack Smith’s Aides Shortly Before Trump Indicted in Classified Docs Case
By Cristina Laila Aug. 26, 2023 1:30 pm120 Comments
Joe Biden’s White House Counsel’s office quietly met with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s aides just weeks before Trump was indicted in the classified documents case.
According to visitor logs reviewed by the New York Post, Jay Bratt, a prosecutor on Jack Smith’s massive team, met with Caroline Saba, deputy chief of staff for Biden’s White House Counsel’s office on March 31, 2023.
The special counsel’s prosecutor met with Biden’s staffers just days after Obama-appointed judge Beryl Howell ordered Trump’s lawyer to testify before the grand jury.
Judge Howell flipped Trump’s own lawyer Eric Corcoran into a witness when she obliterated Trump’s attorney-client privilege in a ruling.
Jack Smith indicted President Trump weeks later on 37 charges related to classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.
This is more evidence that Joe Biden is coordinating with prosecutors to lock up his main political rival Donald Trump – in the middle of an election!
The New York Post reported:

Went to outdoor place for fish and chips. Four middle aged women show up in masks. They sat in a corner, removed their masks, then when they left, they put their masks back on. Walking around outside wearing masks.
Poor sick souls will set the trend for more of Trudeau’s fear, fear, fear.
