A Pennsylvania man was arrested on Monday night after TSA agents found an explosive device in his checked luggage.
Mark Muffley, 40, was supposed to take an Allegiant flight from Pennsylvania to Florida on Monday.
TSA found a device with a “circular compound” that had two fuses and powder hidden in the lining of his checked bag.
The west side of the Pennsylvania airport’s main terminal was shut down after agents discovered the suspicious package on Monday morning.
Muffley was paged over the airport’s public intercom to report to the security desk but he fled the airport.
FBI and bomb technicians who responded to the scene confirmed the object “was indeed a live explosive device,”
Muffley was charged with “possession of an explosive in an airport and possessing, or attempting to place, or attempting to have placed an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft.” according to ABC News.
ABC News reported:
An explosive device was found in a checked piece of luggage at Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley International Airport on Monday, according to a criminal complaint.
The passenger, Mark Muffley of Lansford, Pennsylvania, is now in FBI custody, officials said.
The device hidden in the bag’s lining was a circular compound, about 3 inches in diameter, that had two fuses and powder concealed in wax paper and plastic wrap, according to the criminal complaint.
The “powder is suspected to be a mixture of flash powder and the dark granulars that are used in commercial grade fireworks,” the complaint said. “The black powder and flash powder are susceptible to ignite from heat and friction and posed a significant risk to the aircraft and passengers.”
The bag also had “a can of butane, a lighter, a pipe with white powder residue, a wireless drill with cordless batteries, and two GFCI outlets taped together with black tape,” the complaint said.
The device was detected during “routine screening,” when the suitcase triggered an alarm when it entered the baggage screening unit, the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement. While inspecting the baggage, a TSA officer “located an item inside the suitcase that appeared to be suspicious and was believed to possibly be a live explosive device,” the agency said.

BREAKING: Kari Lake Files Petition For Review For Historic Election Lawsuit In The Arizona Supreme Court – PETITION AND MOTION TO EXPEDITE INCLUDED
Kari Lake filed new paperwork and 779 pages of evidence in the Arizona Supreme Court today, appealing the lower courts’ decisions to dismiss her lawsuit contesting the rigged 2022 Election.
Lake also filed a ‘Motion To Expedite’ her case, arguing that “expeditious action to resolve these issues is needed to safeguard Arizona voters’ right to free and equal elections.”
The Maricopa County Superior Court and Arizona Court of appeals disregarded the evidence, “ignored this Court’s precedents for reviewing election contests and ratified Maricopa officials’ decision to ignore Arizona’s ballot chain-of-custody (“COC”) and logic and accuracy testing (“L&A testing”) requirements set forth in Arizona’s Election Procedures Manual (“EPM”), and A.R.S. §§16-621(E), 16-449, 16-452(C),” argues Lake’s attorneys in their ‘Petition for Review.’
“The court of appeals’ Opinion denying petitioner Kari Lake’s appeal ruled that Arizona election laws don’t matter.”
The Gateway Pundit reported last month that Lake‘s lawsuit to overturn the rigged and stolen 2022 Gubernatorial Election in Maricopa County was dismissed in the Arizona Court of Appeals. She followed through today on her promise to appeal to the Arizona Supreme Court!
This Appeals Court’ made its decision despite the massive machine and printer failures that targeted Election Day voters, turning out for Kari Lake and Republicans 3:1. This issue occurred at nearly 60% of voting locations in the County. This also created extremely long wait times, which prevented thousands of voters from even attempting to cast their ballots.
Lake’s attorneys credited Maricopa County’s failures for “causing massive disruptions, hours-long lines and disenfranchising thousands of predominantly Republican voters on Election Day.”
Qualified data analyst, Senior Lecturer Emeritus in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M, and consultant for major national and international firms and government departments, Walter C. Daugherity declared under penalty of perjury that “over 7,000 ballot insertion failures occurred in almost every single 30-minute period for the entirety of Election Day, starting at 7 am and after 8 pm.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that arrogant Maricopa County attorney Tom Liddy, the son of Watergate attorney G. Gordon Liddy, blamed Republican voters for choosing to vote on election day, telling them, “Your reap what you sow.“ Liddy went so far as to dishonestly accuse Lake and Republicans of “political malpractice” for telling voters to vote on election day instead of early. Liddy desperately blames the voters for the rigged election because of the method they chose to vote.
However, Liddy’s accusations of “political malpractice” and telling voters to “wait to the last second” are inaccurate, as demonstrated by a video clip of Kari Lake telling voters to vote however they feel comfortable nine days after the start of early voting.Lake’s attorneys took note of this attack on the voters, writing, “If allowed to stand, the Opinion will make commonplace the type of official arrogance exemplified by Maricopa’s blaming of Republicans for voting on Election Day: “’you reap what you sow.’”
Additional discrepancies, including missing chain of custody documentation for hundreds of thousands of ballots, Maricopa County’s failure to verify signatures on hundreds of thousands of ballots, and suspicious vote reporting irregularities, likely nullified the votes of hundreds of thousands of voters.
The Courts did not even allow Lake’s team to examine the signatures and demonstrate that the signature verification procedures were violated, nor did they require Maricopa County to prove they followed early ballot procedures for signatures and chain of custody. The Superior and Appellate Courts simply took Maricopa County’s word for it!
The Gateway Pundit reported on a recent Arizona Senate Elections Committee presentation which revealed that nearly 300,000 mismatched or fraudulent mail-in ballot signatures were illegally counted in Maricopa County’s 2022 Election.
It was determined after a thorough investigation that OVER 420,000 ballot affidavits “failed signature verification in the 2020 Election.” Investigators extrapolated this data and concluded that there were “a total of 290,644 failed signatures in the 2022 Election.”
The Appeals Court dismissed the lawsuit and signature verification claims, stating, “at best, Lake’s signature-verification claim attacked Maricopa County’s process for verifying signatures that first-level reviewers questioned — a challenge to the County’s election procedures, not a claim that overall procedures were violated.”
“However, Lake’s claim is not that the signature verification procedures are unlawful. Rather, Lake challenges Maricopa’s misconduct in failing to follow signature verification procedures in the 2022 election,” Lake’s attorneys argue.
As the Reyes v. Cuming (1997) decision noted, “Without the proper signature of a registered voter on the outside, an absentee ballot is void and may not be counted.”
The court must allow Lake’s team to inspect the 2022 ballot signatures!
The Petition states in part,The consequences of Maricopa’s violations are stark:
Maricopa’s COC violations include the injection of 35,563 unaccounted-forballots by Maricopa’s third-party ballot processor, Runbeck Election Services, before Runbeck returned ballots to the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (“MCTEC”) for tabulation.
Maricopa’s failure to perform mandated L&A testing led to tabulators rejecting ballots at nearly two-thirds of Maricopa’s 223 vote centers over 7,000 times every thirty minutes, beginning at 6:00 am and continuing past 8:00 pm—causing massive disruptions, hours-long lines and disenfranchising thousands of predominantly Republican voters on Election Day.
Maricopa County clearly disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters on election day with deliberate machine failures targeting Republican voters. Lake recently revealed new findings that Maricopa County kept a map of Republican voters on the wall, which lined up almost perfectly with the locations of election day machine failures.
BREAKING: Maricopa County Kept a GOP Heat Map of Expected Voters Hanging on Their Wall – Then 84 PERCENT of Voting Centers with Machine Problems on Election Day were in DEEP RED DISTRICTS!According to Findley v. Sorenson (1929), these errors, even if not intentional, can nullify an election if “they affect the result, or at least render it uncertain.” This is further confirmed by the opinion in Hunt v. Campbell (1917), which states, “wherever such practices or influences are shown to have prevailed, not slightly and in individual cases, but generally, so as to render the result uncertain, the entire vote so affected must be rejected.”
This election must be thrown out on the machine failure issue alone.
Lake filed a ‘Petition For Review Of A Special Action Decision Of The Court Of Appeals,’ supplementary appendixes, and a ‘Motion To Expedite Review’ on Friday, March 1 in the Arizona Supreme Court.Read The full filings below:

UPDATE: Several Doctors in Jan 2020 Told Fauci COVID Was Leaked from a Lab – Then They Switched Their Opinion After Speaking with Fauci and Received MILLIONS in NIH Funding
Dr. Marty Makary shared the many reasons why it is obvious that COVID came from a lab in Wuhan during a House hearing on Tuesday.
The GOP-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic investigating the COVID-19 pandemic kicked off its first public event Tuesday. Three of the event’s witnesses — doctors Jay Bhattacharya, Martin Kulldorf, and Marty Makary were invited to testify at the hearing.
Dr. Marty Makary shared the obvious about the COVID vaccine being released from a lab in Wuhan.
It’s a no-brainer that it came from a lab. I mean at this point it’s impossible to acquire any more information and if you did it would only be affirmative.
Dr. Lawrence Sellin shared a tweet from Dr. Makary’s testimony in front of Congress.EXPLOSIVE. Dr. Marty Makary testifies that two leading virologists, Michael Farzan (Scripps) and Robert Garry (Tulane) told Anthony #Fauci that #COVID19 likely came from a lab, but then days later changed their opinions after receiving $9 million in bribes, presumably from Fauci. https://t.co/8iTgwvv96o
— Dr. Lawrence Sellin (@LawrenceSellin) March 1, 2023It may be worse that. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today that Scripps virologist Christian Anderson was also awarded over 16 million in grants and funding after changing his stance on the COVID lab leak after speaking with Dr. Fauci.
FAUCI UNDER FIRE: British Scientist Given $1.88 Million Grant, $16.5 Million in NIH Funding After He Changed His Story and Came Out Publicly to Lie for Fauci About Origins of COVIDThis past week it became common knowledge that COVID was created in a lab in Wuhan. After years of reporting this fact, the Mainstream Media finally caught up.
Many doctors knew this but individuals like Dr. Fauci did their best to cover it up. The next question is why was it released. The media still has some catching up to do.
This past week, TGP reported again on the possibility that the CCP dropped COVID because President Trump was destroying the Chinese economy with tariffs and policies that encouraged American companies to move their business out of China and back to the US. China had to do something so it looks like they took down the whole world with them.

Senate Votes to Block Biden’s ESG Rule That Authorizes Asset Managers to Prioritize Funding Political Agendas – Biden Vows to Veto
The Senate on Wednesday voted 50-46 to overturn Biden’s ESG bill.
The Labor Department rule “permits fiduciary retirement fund managers to consider climate change, good corporate governance and other factors when making investments on behalf of pension plan participants.” according to CNBC.
Two Democrats voted with Republicans to block the bill.
Biden vowed to veto the bill.
Senator Cassidy blasted Joe Biden’s ESG rule ahead of the vote on Wednesday.
“This ESG rule that only pursues an ideological agenda of the left. It does not pursue optimal returns for the American looking at their retirement,” Cassidy said.

The Senate on Wednesday voted to overturn a Labor Department rule that permits fiduciary retirement fund managers to consider climate change, good corporate governance and other factors when making investments on behalf of pension plan participants.
The final vote in the Senate was 50-46, with two Democratic senators crossing party lines to support the repeal bill: West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and Montana Sen. Jon Tester. Both are up for reelection next year in conservative-leaning states.
President Joe Biden said Monday that he will veto the Senate bill if it comes to his desk — the first veto of his presidency.
The House version of this bill passed on Tuesday with the support of every Republican and one Democrat, after which it advanced surprisingly quickly to the Senate.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Nails Georgia SOS’s Gabriel Sterling Over 2020 Election Fraud During Testimony – While He Is Sitting Right Next to Her!
Yesterday, the Election Integrity Caucus held a “roundtable discussion addressing election administration best practices.” According to a press release from NY Representative Claudia Tenney, the discussion involved “chief election officers from around the country” and discussed “what went right in their states during the 2022 election and raised a range of ideas for improving elections as we look forward to 2024.”
One of the invitees was Gabriel Sterling, the current Chief Operating Officer in the Georgia Secretary of State’s office. Sterling notoriously resigned from his post in order to engage in the 2020 as a private contractor. Sometime after the election concluded, Mr. Sterling resumed his position in the Georgia Secretary of State’s office. In Sterling’s capacity as a private contractor, he is not subject to open records request.
In the press release from Rep. Tenney, Sterling is quoted as saying:
“Georgia leads the nation in election security and access, and the policies considered by the committee need to address practical, conservative proposals that guarantee secure and accessible elections for all voters. Antiquated laws prevent states from keeping their voter files current and accurate, and it is time for Congress to make necessary changes to the National Voter Registration Act to modernize election procedures.”
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was less than thrilled that Sterling was invited to the discussion. She stated she does not consider “Gabe” an “expert” but rather a “major problem.” Rep. Greene told Sterling the story about her husband voting in person but being told that he had already voted by mail. According to FOIA’d emails from the Georgia Sec. of State, this occurrence happened frequently throughout the state of Georgia.
Rep. Greene reiterated that there was “blatant outright fraud in the 2020 election.” She then referenced part of her own district, Floyd County, where thousands of votes were found in favor of President Donald Trump during the hand recount in mid-November 2020. The Gateway Pundit reported on over 2600 ballots that were found, with over 1600 of those going for President Trump. This same “phenomenon” occurred in at least three other counties in Georgia: Fayette, Douglas, Dekalb and Walton, that we know of.

WATCH: Conservative Senators Team Up on AG Merrick Garland During Hearing – Leave Him Stuttering And Repeating Himself Like A Robot
Corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland had an awful day testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday over his department’s corrupt and tyrannical practices toward faithful, conservative Americans.
We have a trio of Senate conservative patriots to thank for his epic struggles.
Lets start with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) who ate Garland alive over ignoring credible threats to the safety of conservative Supreme Court Justices. Garland cannot give simple yes or no answer to this simple question:
Senator Ted Cruz: Let me try again. Has the Department of Justice brought even a single case under this statute? It’s a yes-no question. It’s not a give a speech on the other things you did.
Garland instead made a fool of himself by repeatedly trying to deflect blame onto the U.S. Marshals.
WATCH:Lion Ted Cruz MAULS AG Garland to absolute SHREDS for ignoring threats against Supreme Court Justices pic.twitter.com/ZTCjbnOOp6
— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) March 1, 2023Then Garland demands to finally answer Cruz’s question after several minutes. But Cruz was not in a giving mood.
Senator Ted Cruz: No, you cannot. You have refused to answer the question.
Next we have Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen Josh Hawley (R-MO) team up to rightfully blister the Department of Injustice’s anti-Christian and anti-life policies.
Hawley starts off by blistering Garland over how the corrupt FBI raided pro-life advocate Matt Houck’s house with guns drawn in front of his terrified children. The FBI arrested him over supposedly shoving an abortion clinic worker.
Houck was found not guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and now plans to sue the FBI.
The case against Houck was so frivolous that even Marxist Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner declined to prosecute him. But Garland moved forward.FULL EXCHANGE between Senator @HawleyMO and Attorney General Merrick Garland:

Lee is next up and points out how Garland’s department gleefully prosecutes individuals for blocking abortion clinics while turning a blind eye to attacks on pregnancy centers by pro-abortion extremists.
Notice during this exchange how Garland stammers like a clueless idiot and commits possible perjury in the process..@BasedMikeLee: “DOJ has announced charges against 34 individuals for blocking access to…abortion clinics…there have been over 81 reported attacks on pregnancy centers…and only 2 individuals have been charged!”

— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) March 1, 2023Garland utters so many “uhs” that he makes Joe Biden look halfway eloquent. Then Garland laughably claims the DOJ applies the law fairly.
Cruz concludes the complete evisceration of Garland by elaborating on how Houck was treated by the Biden Injustice Department and noting how attacks on pregnancy centers and churches are ignored by the Biden regime.Sen. @tedcruz confronts AG Merrick Garland on the discrepancy between prosecuting pro-life counselors vs. pro-abortion extremists.

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) March 1, 2023Garland can only play dumb on the attacks against people of faith and keeps claiming “the FBI disagrees” with Cruz’s correct description of Houck’s treatment.

BREAKING: 3 Republicans Just Helped Democrats to Hammer First Nail Into Coffin of Religious Freedom In Michigan
On Wednesday afternoon, Senate Democrats took up legislation to ‘expand’ the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act in Michigan.
Freedom of Religion newspaper headline on a copy of the US Constitution with gavel
The bill currently prohibits discrimination based on qualities such as race, sex, and religion.
100 Percent Fed Up reports – Democrats made it one of their top legislative priorities to expand the legislation to include sexual orientation and gender identity.’
Under the new bill’s language, “gender identity or expression” is defined “as having a gender-related self-identity or expression whether or not associated with an individual’s assigned sex at birth.”
Republicans, ultimately powerless to stop the bill in the long term, attempted to include at least an amendment that would ensure people’s religious liberties were not infringed on.
Democrats shut down debate on the amendment and jammed the legislation through the Senate, and now seem ready to rush it through the House on the same day with little to no debate.
Despite Democrats offering no concessions to Senate Republicans, three of them voted to pass the bill; Senators Ruth Johnson (R-Holly), Joe Bellino (R-Monroe), and Mike Webber (R-Rochester Hills).
Only one, Senator Weber, was in a tight race in the 2022 midterm elections, while both Johnson and Bellino won their races by double-digit margins.
Senator Ruth Johnson
Senator Thomas Albert (R-Lowell) sounded the alarm about the bill’s potential to curtail the religious liberties of Michiganders, saying that religious organizations could be held liable for expressing their genuine beliefs.
Senator Joe Bellino
“It could create a situation where religious organizations, nonprofits, or even individuals are potentially held liable for simply exercising their religious beliefs,” Albert said.
Mike Webber
We have already seen what happens in states that do not sufficiently protect religious liberties. Colorado baker Jack Phillips had to take his case all the way to the Supreme Court for his refusal to bake a cake for a gay wedding. Even after he won his case, he has suffered from a torrent of lawsuits from left-wing advocacy groups ever since.
You can find out if you are a constituent of Senator Webber, Johnson, or Bellino by following this link which will give you their office’s contact information.

Two Honduran Nationals Cited After Killing American Bald Eagle in Nebraska and Planning to Eat It
Two Honduran nationals have been cited for killing an American bald eagle, a protected species, and planning to eat it in Nebraska.
The Stanton County Sheriff’s office was called to the scene at Wood Duck Recreation Area near Stanton around 4 p.m. on Tuesday over reports of a suspicious vehicle.
When deputies arrived, they found Ramiro Hernandez-Tziquin and Domingo Zetino-Hernandez, both 20, with the dead bald eagle. An interpreter was needed since neither of the men spoke English.
“The vehicle was located in a field and while having contact with the two males it was determined that they had a dead American Bald Eagle in their possession,” the Stanton County Sheriff’s office said in a statement. “Further investigation revealed that the two had shot and killed the protected national bird in that area and stated they planned on cooking and eating the bird.”
The sheriff’s office continued, “Nebraska Game and Parks was contacted and took custody of the eagle and the rifle used to kill the eagle.”
The two Honduran nationals were cited for unlawful possession of the eagle.
Hernandez-Tziquin was also cited for not having a driver’s license.
The Sheriff’s office said that more serious charges are possible as the investigation into the unlawful killing continues.
“According to the National Audubon Society, the number of bald eagles had been in serious decline — due largely to shootings — during most of the 20th century. However, now they have been seeing a gradual increase since the 1970s,” local station WGNO reports.

Houston Police Refer Investigation of Non-Binary “Pup Handler” Sam Brinton’s Luggage Theft to FBI
Sam Brinton (L), Houston-based Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin
The Houston Police Department referred the investigation into former DOE employee Sam Brinton’s luggage theft to the FBI.
Joe Biden’s former Department of Energy employee Sam Brinton was previously arrested for stealing women’s luggage at two different airports.
Brinton, a gender fluid ‘pup handler,’ was charged with felony theft for stealing a woman’s luggage in November at MSP airport in Minnesota.According to Alpha News, Sam Brinton took a woman’s bag from the baggage claim area on September 16.
Brinton reportedly removed the ID tag from the blue bag, quickly left the area and jumped in an Uber.
According to the complaint, Brinton returned to MSP airport with the stolen blue bag on September 18 where he caught a flight to DC.
The female victim said the contents of her stolen bag are valued at around $2,325.
Sam Brinton was also accused of stealing luggage from a Las Vegas airport.Sam Brinton caught stealing luggage at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas
The Houston case revolves around another potential luggage theft involving Brinton dating back to 2018.
A Houston-based Tanzanian fashion designer claimed she lost her luggage in 2018 and later saw Sam Brinton wearing one of her custom made outfits which was in her ‘lost’ bag.My name is Asyakhamsin tanzanian fashion designer based in houston Texas USA I lost my bag 2018 in DCA recently I heard the news on @FoxNews about @sambrinton luggage issue surprisingly I found his images wore my custom made outfitswhich was in the lost bag on 2018 pic.twitter.com/lJwLHtMJlz
— asyakhamsin (@asyakhamsin1) February 20, 2023The Houston Police Department referred this case to the FBI.
Fox News reported:
The Houston Police Department has referred its investigation of a former Biden administration official charged in two separate luggage thefts to the FBI, Fox News Digital has learned.
The case centers around Houston-based Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin, who alleged earlier this month that clothing worn by former Department of Energy (DOE) official Sam Brinton had been contained in her luggage that she reported missing on March 9, 2018, at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Khamsin, who designs her own clothing line, said she recently saw a report that Brinton had been charged with stealing pieces of luggage at two separate airports and noticed that he appeared to be wearing her clothes in several photos. Khamsin said she had packed the same clothes in a bag that vanished back in 2018.
After the apparent theft of her bag, Khamsin and her husband filed a report with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department. The couple also filed a claim with Delta Air Lines, which she had used to travel from Houston to Washington, D.C. The case was never solved.
Houston police told Fox News Digital on Monday that personnel from the department’s Criminal Investigation Division has met with FBI personnel at the airport regarding the luggage theft case.
As of publishing time, Brinton has not been charged with any crime related to Khamsin’s claims.
