  • Capitol Police Chief Attacks Tucker Carlson – Says His Factual Coverage of Jan. 6 was “Very Disrespectful” (VIDEO)

    Capitol Police Chief Attacks Tucker Carlson – Says His Factual Coverage of Jan. 6 was “Very Disrespectful” (VIDEO)

    In March Tucker Carlson aired several minutes of footage out of the 40,000 hours of total video taken by government cameras on January 6, 2021, in Washington DC. Tucker’s producers were given access to the footage by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
    Tucker showed peaceful protesters walking through the halls of the US Capitol, police waving Trump supporters into the building, and police escorting the “Q-Shamen” Jacob Chansley through the halls that day. Chansley was later sentenced to four years in prison for walking inside the US Capitol with police escort.

    On Monday, Tucker Carlson was let go by FOX News. US Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger later attacked Tucker Carlson during congressional testimony and continued to push the government lie about the protests that day.
    Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger: When he did that program, I put out a message to all of my employees, and I talked to them about the narrative that he tried to put forth, how disrespectful it was to the men and women of the Capitol Police. And I think what was fortunate is that that narrative that Mr. Carlson tried to put out had no legs. I think most folks understood exactly what it was, and so I think that was very gratifying to the members of the Capitol Police to see that that.
    Today 61% of Americans believe the Feds incited the US Capitol riot. This makes Mr. Manger very angry.

    The Epoch Times reported:
    A Democrat senator from Maryland and U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger used a Senate budget hearing on April 25 to blast former Fox News host Tucker Carlson for creating an allegedly “false narrative” with the Jan. 6 security-camera video that he broadcast in March.
    During a budget hearing before the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) asked Manger to comment on Carlson’s use of the Jan. 6 video in his March 6 broadcast about the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
    “In I think February or early March of this year, Speaker [Kevin] McCarthy authorized the release of more than 40,000 hours of security footage from the awful events of January 6,” Van Hollen said.
    “He released them to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who then used them to create a false narrative surrounding the events of that day, concluding that the attack on the Capitol was quote, ‘mostly peaceful chaos,’ and that, ‘The footage does not show an insurrection or riot in progress.’”
    Van Hollen noted that, as of April 24, Carlson’s program is no longer in the Fox News lineup. “But a lot of the damage has been done,” Van Hollen asserted. “Can you talk about the impact this false narrative has had on the men and women who work for you?”
    Manger said he put out a statement the day after the March 6 “Tucker Carlson Tonight” broadcast, noting “how disrespectful it was to the men and women of the Capitol Police.”
    “I think what was fortunate is that that narrative that Mr. Carlson tried to put out had no legs,” Manger said. “I think most folks understood exactly what it was. And so I think that was very gratifying to the members of the Capitol Police to see that that the public did not agree with that assessment.”
    Van Hollen replied, “I appreciate that. And I agree with you that despite his best efforts, the American public understood exactly what happened on that day and that it was not the narrative that he put out.”

  • Planned Parenthood Says They Performed 374,155 Abortions Last Year

    Planned Parenthood Says They Performed 374,155 Abortions Last Year

    Planned Parenthood’s annual report has revealed that the organization performed 374,155 abortions last year.
    This is the second-highest number of abortions performed in a single year in the organization’s history.
    This averages out to 1,025 abortions being performed by Planned Parenthood every day.

    “In 21 states, Planned Parenthood patients can access medication abortion via telehealth — including site-to-site and direct-to-patient care. PPFA is focused on supporting affiliates in states with favorable policy environments to sustainably expand telehealth abortion access and increase their capacity as patients travel from states where abortion access is restricted,” the report boasts in a section of how they are handling the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
    The report continued, “in partnership with affiliates across 14 states, PPFA launched a campaign in the days following the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, reassuring patients and potential patients that Planned Parenthood was still there to provide sexual and reproductive care — including abortion, where legal. The ads reached more than 6.2 million people. An additional campaign on 68 college campuses reached 1.2 million students.”
    The report also explained that Planned Parenthood attorneys have filed over 40 lawsuits challenging abortion bans and restrictions.
    Planned Parenthood also bragged about how they are using TikTok to reach “new audiences” of young women.
    “In 2021, PPFA launched its presence on TikTok, and has since gained 135K+ followers and millions of views — making it one of our most highly engaged channels,” the report states. “PPFA also launched the TikTok Collective: A group of 13 TikTok creators who created dozens of posts about sexual and reproductive health and rights that got a total of 20 million views and 2.9 million engagements.”

    Biden was salivating over all of the children.
    At one point Joe Biden tried to lure a little girl into the White House.
    “What’s it like in the White House?” a little girl asked Biden.
    “What’s it like in the White House? Well here, come here, you hang with me for a minute and—oh, you don’t want to go in the White House?” Biden said.

  • Indiana School Employees Charged After Forcing 7-Year-Old Special Needs Boy to Eat His Own Vomit With a Spoon

    Indiana School Employees Charged After Forcing 7-Year-Old Special Needs Boy to Eat His Own Vomit With a Spoon

    Four Indiana school employees have been charged after forcing a 7-year-old special needs boy to eat his vomit with a spoon in the lunchroom.
    The Hendrick County Prosecutor’s Office filed charges against three Brownsburg Community School Corporation employees and one third-party independent contractor from Kids Count Therapy, LLC. on Tuesday over what took place at Brown Elementary School.
    Fox News reports, “Brown Elementary Life Skills Teacher Sara Seymour, 27, and Brown Elementary Life Skills Instructional Aide Debra Kanipe, 63, were each charged with neglect of a dependent as a Level 6 felony and failure to report, a Class B misdemeanor. Brown Elementary Life Skills Teacher Julie Taylor, 48, Brown Elementary Life Skills Instructional Aide Kristen Mitchell, 38, and Kids Count Registered Behavioral Technician Megan King, 24, were each charged with failure to report.”
    According to the probable cause affidavit, Seymour told the student that he would be forced to eat his vomit if he threw up during a school lunch break in February. Taylor reportedly provided a tray to catch his vomit.
    In a video of the incident, the child attempts to stand up while gagging on the food. The school employees tell him to sit back down.
    “After the victim did indeed vomit, Kanipe allegedly provided the spoon that the child ‘was compelled to use to consume some of his vomit,’ police said,” according to the Fox report. “Both Seymour and Kanipe are seen on video standing on each side of the child while he consumed a portion of the vomit, police said. The child is then required to clean up the remainder of the vomit with paper towels.”
    Mitchell and King witnessed what was being done to the victim.
    The school district fired two of the staff members in April, while the other two remain on administrative leave.
    “Ultimately, the termination process for Seymour and Kanipe was initiated while the others remain on administrative leave pending the BCSC School Board rulings,” police said, according to the report.

  • Whistleblower Who Was Reportedly About to Reveal “Explosive” Information On the Biden Crime Family’s Corruption Has Disappeared

    Whistleblower Who Was Reportedly About to Reveal “Explosive” Information On the Biden Crime Family’s Corruption Has Disappeared

    Dr. Gal Luft Credit: Forum for Global Studies
     
    The Gateway Pundit reported back in February that Dr. Gal Luft, the co-director of the Washington-based Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, reportedly was going to reveal explosive information on the Biden Crime Family. Now he has gone missing under mysterious circumstances.
    Luft was an adviser to CEFC China Energy (CEFC), a business conglomerate with extremely close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. He served alongside Hunter Biden.
    CEFC Energy paid Hunter approximately $5 million in 2017 alone to secure energy deals in the United States according to the Washington Free Beacon.
    Once Joe Biden assumed power, there was every reason to keep details on his and his family’s corruption hidden from the public. According to Luft, the Regime had him arrested on bogus weapon trafficking charges in January to try to silence him.
    I’ve been arrested in Cyprus on a politically motivated extradition request by the US.
    The US, claiming I’m an arms dealer. It would be funny if it weren’t tragic.
    I’ve never been an arms dealer.
    DOJ is trying to bury me to protect Joe, Jim & Hunter Biden.
    Shall I name names?

    Shall I name names?
    — Gal Luft (@GalLuft) February 19, 2023

    While Luft’s claims might otherwise be easily dismissed as a bluff, his connection to CEFC China Energy suggests he likely knows something about the Bidens.
    “Dr. Luft is a whistleblower,” Luft attorney Robert Henoch told the Washington Free Beacon. He asserts that prosecutors decided against pursuing Luft’s information “and are instead targeting him with trumped-up and false charges.”
    “This unfortunately appears to be part of an attempt to discredit a witness with critical information about an ongoing congressional and DOJ investigation.”</blockquote
    In fact, Luft’s lawyer had told Biden’s DOJ that his client would submit a letter to Congress containing information Luft previously gave to the FBI during the Trump Administration on the Bidens.
    Moreover, The New York Post revealed that Luft learned about explosive information: someone was selling sealed U.S. law enforcement information to Chinese individuals.
    The attorney claimed that Ye Jianming, founder and chairman of CEFC-USA, a nonprofit created by the China Energy Fund Committee, told Luft that Hunter Biden had an informant in the FBI. They paid lots of money to provide sealed law enforcement information.
    This FBI mole was reportedly called “One-Eye.”
    Luft appeared to be on the verge of blowing the lid off the investigation into the Biden Crime Family’s business deals. But something very convenient happened this month that redounded to the family’s benefit.
    The Jewish Business News revealed that Luft posted bail for 400,000 euros ($438,000). Then Luft suddenly disappeared.

    In March, a Cypriot court deliberating a US extradition request had instructed him to surrender his passport to authorities and post 400,000 euros as bail before being released from custody. He was also required to register at the Paphos police station weekly but failed for the past month and did not appear for three trial dates. Luft’s car was found abandoned on the island a day after his disappearance was reported.
    There has been no further information about Prof. Gal Luft, whereabouts or the progress of the legal proceedings since the news of his disappearance in April 2023. It is not clear whether he fled Cyprus or if he met with foul play.

    Let’s all hope Luft is found safely because justice is counting on him.

  • The China-Russia Threat To The Dollar Is Real and Could Decimate Americans’ Finances

    The China-Russia Threat To The Dollar Is Real and Could Decimate Americans’ Finances

    (Note: Thank you for supporting American businesses like the one presenting a sponsored message below and publishers like Gateway Pundit. We appreciate your support!)
    You do not have to be an economist or financial advisor to recognize the massive threat to the U.S. economy posed by China and Russia. The leaders of the BRICS coalition have as their stated goal to replace the dominance of the U.S. Dollar in the world. If they can even partially accomplish this, they will disrupt the abilities of American businesses and citizens to thrive.
    If they can fully accomplish their goals, it would cause an economic collapse in the United States unlike anything we’ve seen.
    The U.S. Dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency and the Petrodollar have enabled us to accumulate a massive national debt without crumbling under the weight of it because the vast majority of other nations would crumble along with us. But if China, Russia, or a globalist coalition pulls the financial rug out from under us, we will fail.
    Some Americans don’t understand that failure would not be isolated to government finances. It’s understandable some would think they won’t be affected because our economy has always been resilient; even after major downturns such as 2008-09, most Americans were able to come out of it okay and even thrived a few years later under the Trump administration. But what we’re seeing developing right now is very different from 2008-09. A sudden chain reaction of collapses, from stock markets to housing markets, would decimate wealth across the nation.
    Central banks know this, which is why they’re moving as much as they can as quickly as possible to precious metals. According to London-based Financial Times writer Daria Mosolova:
    Central bankers who manage trillions in foreign exchange reserves are loading up on gold as geopolitical tensions including the war in Ukraine force them to rethink their investment strategies.
    An annual poll of 83 central banks, which manage a combined $7tn in foreign exchange assets, found that more than two-thirds of respondents thought their peers would increase their gold holdings in 2023.
    Bullion tends to become more attractive in times of instability, and demand has soared over the past year. The amount of gold bought by central banks rose by 152 per cent year on year in 2022 to 1,136 tonnes, according to the World Gold Council, a trade body.
    Is it only those managing trillions of dollars in assets who are putting some of their money into precious metals? Of course not. These are unprecedented times and Americans MUST take the proper actions to protect themselves from what appears to be right around the corner.
    In fact, so many Americans have been moving into precious metals, some gold and silver companies are struggling to secure metals for their clients.
    Except for Genesis Gold Group, a faith-driven precious metals company. They have leveraged their relationships to seamlessly keep the flow of wealth going into their customers’ depositories. By rolling over any of the various types of retirement accounts their customers currently have, Genesis Gold Group has simplified the process of securing the life’s savings of countless Americans (plus, working with them through this link and the links below benefits Gateway Pundit).
    And Genesis Gold Group only works with physical gold and silver because it can be stored on the customer’s behalf in a depository.
    This isn’t “paper” or “virtual” gold or silver; Genesis Gold Group customers can physically see their precious metals at their convenience. And when it comes time to take a disbursement, they can convert to cash or have their precious metals shipped directly to their homes.

    Genesis Gold Group was given 5 stars by reviewers on the Better Business Bureau website. Here is what some of them say:
    “With the downward turn in the market, I have been wanting to transfer my IRA to gold/precious metals. I am so happy that I came across Genesis Gold Group. They made the process seamless . . . They have knowledge, care, and patience with newbies, like me. They kept me informed along the way and reached out several times to see if I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in investing in precious metals.”
    “I had a great experience moving my 401k into precious metals with Genesis Gold Group. They explained each step and kept me informed as the process was taking place. I recommend them to anyone who is interested in investing in precious metals. Don’t procrastinate like I did!”
    “We have done business with Genesis Gold Group and have had excellent customer service, and found the process to move our IRA’s into physical gold and silver to be very smooth. We appreciate the patience with all our questions and am happy to have their help as we move toward retirement. Thank you!

    “It’s Not What’s He’s Done in the Past, It’s What He Might Do in the Future” – Alex Jones and Roger Stone Share Their Thoughts on Why Tucker Got Fired

    Alex Jones and Roger Stone share their thoughts on why Tucker got fired.
    Roger Stone of https://stonezone.live/ joined The Alex Jones Show to break down why Tucker Carlson was really fired from FOX.
    Stone says the following in the video below:
    Tucker is going to be massively successful.  No, I grieve for our country…Cable will ultimately go the way of broadcast television.  NBC, CBS, ABC, their numbers are as you know, in the toilet.
    Millions are watching us here on Infowars, millions watching on other web based platforms…
    Tucker Carlson, we won’t ever know what specific event led to this but our nation will be poorer for it because cable television has now been completely cancelled and censored.
    Whether it was Tucker’s exposure of what really happened on Jan 6, or whether it was his discussion of the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, or whether it was calling out the Deep State on their efforts to push us into world war III, that’s kind of a biggee.
    Whether it was giving Robert Kennedy a voice when nobody else would.  When Robert Kennedy did his announcement, which I found very powerful by the way, he was censored within 5 minutes… Ideas are dangerous to these people….
    …I have a theory, it’s not what he’s done in the past, it’s what he might do in the future.
    There’s much more below.

  • Texas Senate Passes Bill Banning China from Purchasing Farm Land

    Texas lawmakers Tuesday preliminarily approved a bill that bans foreign governments, including China and Iran, from purchasing land in the Lone Star State.
    Chinese purchases of American land and farmland has been a major under-the-radar issue in recent years.
    Republican state senator Lois Kolkhorst said the legislation is a means to address national security and protect the state.
    “Senate Bill 147 strives to put common sense guardrails to protect food and energy and national security, while at the same time, it keeps alive the American dream of homeownership to all, the ability to own a business,” Kolkhorst said.
    Governments listed as part of the ban include the aforementioned China and Iran, along with Russia and North Korea.
    Those foreign entities, along with companies headquartered within their borders, would be prevented from buying “real property” in Texas.
    “They are enemies of the United States and are enemies of Texas,” said state senator Mayes Middleton (R) during debate on the Senate floor.
    “And they have realized that frankly, at the end of the day, they can be more successful at hurting this country and hurting this great state through economic means than through the battlefield.”

    The governments of China, Russia, North Korea and Iran would not be allowed to purchase land in Texas under a proposal preliminarily passed by the Texas Senate on Tuesday. https://t.co/DlQ1p7o1qa

    RELATED: Republicans Move to Ban Chinese Interests from American Farmland
    Originally Sought to Prevent Citizens of China From Buying Land
    The bill in question is actually a significantly watered-down version of one that originally would have banned individual citizens of China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia from buying land and homes in Texas.
    Still, that hasn’t stopped the media and Democrats from lighting their hair on fire over the legislation.
    The Texarkana Gazette has suggested the bill is being “decried as racist and faced widespread condemnation from Asian American Texans.”
    Democrat state senator John Whitmire told the Houston Public Media that the Asian-American community is “scared to death” of the bill and Republicans who support it.
    After being preliminarily passed, the bill needs to go through one more procedural hurdle before heading to the Texas House. Governor Greg Abbott has said he would sign the legislation if it reaches his desk.

    Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential GOP candidate for President, has expressed support for the idea.
    “We don’t want to have holdings by hostile nations,” he said.
    “And so if you look at the Chinese Communist Party, they’ve been very active throughout the Western Hemisphere in gobbling up land and investing in different things.”

  • The Pentagon Proves Tucker Carlson Right by Publicly Celebrating His Firing

    In a house full of Fox News fans, I watch a relatively small percentage. However, I enjoy “America’s Newsroom” with Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer and try to catch Brett Baier when I can – I’m more of a digital news junky.
    I don’t typically watch the news at night, but I knew the announcement that Tucker Carlson was parting ways with Fox News, or the other way around, was a huge deal if for no other reason than the exuberant celebration from the left. I did enjoy the news that CNN had fired Don Lemon – after all, all’s fair in love and war, even in media.
    But what really caught my eye was the not-so-subtle exultation from the five-sided building out here in the Beltway of their nemesis’ removal from American television screens.
    Hard to argue that the military isn’t politicized when they publicly applaud the dismissal of a political commentator who was vehemently critical of their system.

    The powerful and accurate critiques @TuckerCarlson gives of our failed military are not going away. But once we get a real president, these piece of crap garbage officers are. And I only pray that I have a chance to help clear out the deadwood. https://t.co/73vYnJERu9

    An Official Statement
    Kevin Baron, Executive Editor of DefenseOne, penned an article titled ‘How Tucker Carlson Helped Turn Americans Against the Military.’
    I don’t blame you for those unfamiliar with DefenseOne; you are not the audience. Politicians, bureaucrats, and insiders are. This outlet is owned by GovExec, which feeds fluff pieces to the U.S. government to ensure they always feel special and important.
    For those who made it up in the ranks, we were highly encouraged to subscribe to DefenseOne to ensure we understood what was happening in our industry – essentially ensuring that leaders ‘read their own press clippings’ as the saying goes. Why does this matter?
    Because this article is the unofficial official statement of your Department of Defense on the firing of a journalist who was well known for laying into the DOD. What this article states you can bet 99% of your military leaders believe.
    RELATED: Trump Says He’s ‘Shocked’ Over Tucker Carlson Firing: ‘What is Going on at Fox News?’
    For example, Mr. Baron writes:
    “Night after night on his talk show, Carlson blasted the military in ways that previous conservative voices would not dare.”
    This is a factual statement, but is meant as a veiled warning to other conservative pundits who may wish to do the same.
    Part of the problem with our formerly called War Department is that not enough people would dare to question the military; in fact, it is one of the few federal agencies that, until recently, enjoyed almost universal trust from the American public.

    So what is it that Tucker did to incense military brass and officials?
    He questioned their policies related to diversity training, critical race theory, transgender troops, support for Ukraine, and lack of preparation to fight China – how dare Tucker have an opinion!
    Mr. Baron champions the most senior General claiming Tucker had a singular role in the following:
    “We all know why the right hates Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, who still draws fire on social media as a “traitor” who declined to offer “total loyalty” to his erratic, ill-informed, and authoritarian Commander-in-Chief.”

    Mr. Baron claims that the decline in confidence in the military from 70% down to 56% on the highly respected Reagan Forum poll is due to what he dubs “the Carlson effect.”
    The decline is due to Americans watching in horror in real time as Afghans fell to their deaths from our mobility aircraft, and our allies were left to fend for themselves. Let’s not forget the “righteous airstrike” that killed ten civilians – including seven children – in retaliation for the murder of 13 of our service members at Abbey Gate.

    If there was one area where Tucker Carlson continually went further and pushed harder than any other media voice, it was the War in Ukraine.
    If anyone is truly celebrating today, it’s the military industrial complex. It’s the intel agencies. It’s the Uniparty war machine.

    Look In The Mirror
    Tucker Carlson is not why the military is struggling with recruitment and is not why Americans are finding themselves less confident in the leadership at the Pentagon. Last year Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth blamed the negative press for low recruitment, claiming that outlets covering mental health issues and rampant sexual assault were a culprit.
    Perhaps the DOD should do something tangible about mental health issues and sexual assault versus blaming the media for covering said issues.
    But you can pick from a litany of DOD malfunctions when it comes to low recruitment and disapproval:

    COVID-19 policies that ruined the careers of thousands
    Woke DOD Diversity Chief allowed continuing employment
    Extremist Down Day that found little to no extremists
    Drag Queen Story Hour at various military bases
    Botched withdrawal from Afghanistan
    ‘Missed‘ spy balloons

    Tucker Carlson might not be my cup of tea, but he is not the reason the military is plummeting in the approval polls; it’s because the military cares more about pandering to special interest groups and rotating negligent self-serving Generals and Admirals into cushy civilian gigs as Pentagon officials or defense contractor board members. 

    Say what you may about Tucker Carlson, but he was the only one willing to criticize his own political party, try to hold the cia accountable and called out both the military industrial comelx and big Pharma!
    He is brave and that’s why they probably took him down!

    A New Threat
    A senior DOD official told Politico regarding Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News:
    “We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people.”
    Why don’t we have a name for this official? It could be because senior DOD officials aren’t supposed to comment on political issues. After all, the military is supposed to be apolitical. The very thing Tucker Carlson has been warning us about.
    It should alarm you that someone considered a senior DOD official thinks our country is better off when dissenting views are silenced. That thinking is un-American and has more of a Communist China flavor. 
    The DefenseOne article pointed out:
    “Over the past few years, Gallup has found rising support for Russia and less for Ukraine; more support for Israel and less for Palestinians; more support for border security and less for Mexico; and so on.”
    There you have it, folks; this is the position of your U.S. government. Think about this for a minute; taking out the support for Russia, this article insinuates that it’s bad to have increased support for Israel and border security.
    The article ended with this warning to upcoming Generals:
    “Later this year, a new crop of top uniformed Pentagon leaders will rise to replace Milley and several of the retiring service branch chiefs. They had better plan a good defense. Tucker’s coming at them.”
    A bit dramatic for my taste, but I’ll counter with this warning. As leaders of the DOD, all Generals and Admirals should plan a good defense by being righteous, strong, ethical leaders focused on winning America’s wars.
    Do that, and you have nothing to worry about. Don’t, and you’ll have more than just Tucker Carlson to fear; you’ll answer to those you are charged with defending. 

    Tucker Carlson getting fired from Fox News is a start. Next, let’s do Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity.
    While we’re at it, it’s past time to ban Fox News from military installations. We have to fight for truth every chance we get.
