    Joe Biden Blames the Media When Asked Why So Many Americans Say They’re “Worse Off” Financially Than When He Was Elected (VIDEO)

    Joe Biden on Friday sat down for a one-on-one softball interview with ABC’s David Muir to discuss Russia, China, Ukraine, the impending nuclear war and scandals plaguing his adminsistration.
    Biden was asked why so many Americans say they are much worse off financially than when he was elected.
    According to a left-leaning ABC/WaPo poll, 41% of Americans feel worse off financially under the Biden Administration.
    It’s much worse than what the left-leaning polls say.
    Inflation rates are at 40-year highs.

    30-year fixed mortgage rates are over 7.00%.
    Inflation is outpacing wages.
    Americans are suffering because of Joe Biden’s tax-and-spend policies.
    But he says it’s the media’s fault for reporting on negative news.
    “4 in 10 Americans say they’re worse off than when you were elected — only 16% said they’re better off. Why?” David Muir asked Biden.
    Biden blamed the doom and gloom headlines.
    “You make the ne — I mean you interview for the news. Can you think of anything turn on the television and go, ‘God, that makes me feel good?’” Biden said.

  • RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel Claims There is a ‘Deep Bench’ of Republican Presidential Candidates

    RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel Claims There is a ‘Deep Bench’ of Republican Presidential Candidates

    Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has claimed that there is a “deep bench” of GOP presidential candidates.
    McDaniel made the comment on Sunday’s episode of CNN’s “State of the Union.”
    “It could be a big stage… I think it speaks about the deep bench we have. I mean, we have so many great governors, senators, congressional leaders, business leaders, a former president. We have such a great bench of candidates,” McDaniel said.
    Former President Trump, neocon Nikki Haley, and political activist Vivek Ramaswamy are the only Republican candidates who have announced their campaigns.
    Other likely candidates include Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence, though neither has announced their intent at the time of publishing this story.
    “I look at the Democrats, what they’re doing to limit any competition to Biden,” McDaniel said. “Why? Because Joe Biden came in eighth. So that is a president who’s weak, who’s worried about competition from his own party, and we have a broad bench ready to run for president.”
    McDaniel said that the party would likely request that primary candidates commit to backing whoever the eventual nominee is.
    “I expect that they will accept the results in 2024. I’m not — I don’t know who that person is right now. But, yes, we’re going to accept the results. And we’re going to move forward and work to govern this country. But I think they’re going to accept the results because they’re going to be the president,” McDaniel said.

    Republican voters will decide the Republican nominee, and anyone getting on the Republican National Committee debate stage should be able to say they will support the will of the voters and the eventual nominee of our party. pic.twitter.com/vvXN1Tl3Qx

    In a tweet with a clip from her interview, McDaniel wrote, “Republican voters will decide the Republican nominee, and anyone getting on the Republican National Committee debate stage should be able to say they will support the will of the voters and the eventual nominee of our party.”

  • WATCH: Forensic Investigator John Thaler Joins Brannon Howse Following EXPLOSIVE Claims That Sinaloa Cartel Uses Bribes, Money Laundering To Control Maricopa County Elections

    WATCH: Forensic Investigator John Thaler Joins Brannon Howse Following EXPLOSIVE Claims That Sinaloa Cartel Uses Bribes, Money Laundering To Control Maricopa County Elections

    Attorney John Thaler joined Brannon Howse with former Arizona State Representative Mark Finchem Friday night on Lindell TV to explain the alleged phony mortgage and real estate transaction scam used by the Sinaloa Cartel to bribe elected officials and control the state of Arizona.
    The Sinaloa Cartels and the treasonous Americans who work with them are destroying our country by flooding Arizona with dangerous drugs and crime.
    The Gateway Pundit reported that Tempe Police seized over 30 million lethal doses of fentanyl. In 2022, the DEA nationwide seized over 50.6 million deadly fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills and over 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder, half of which came from Arizona. “I want to be crystal clear. The drugs that are flooding Arizona every single day are sourced primarily by one evil entity, the Sinaloa Drug Cartel,” said Phoenix DEA Special Agent in Charge Cheri Oz.
    JUST IN: “OVER 30 MILLION LETHAL DOSES” – Phoenix DEA, Tempe Police Seize OVER 4.5 Million Fentanyl Pills, 140lbs Fentanyl Powder 3,000 Lbs of Meth, 130kg cocaine in Joint Operation

    If the new findings are accurate, this could explain why our government allows them to operate in the United States.
    The Gateway Pundit reported that the Arizona Senate and House Elections Committees held a joint special meeting on Thursday and heard an explosive presentation by Breger, which, if true, exposed information regarding massive corruption and collusion between American politicians, appointed government officials, and the Sinaloa Cartels.
    BREAKING: Arizona Appeals Court Denies Kari Lake Lawsuit – Lake Moves to Take Election Fraud Case to Arizona Supreme Court

    Breger identifies herself as a longtime Arizona resident and a forensic investigator with the Harris/Thaler Law Corporation, investigating multi-state racketeering and corruption. She states that she holds a master’s degree in marketing and honors degrees in Finance, Financial Accounting, Business, statistics, economics, and business strategy.
    She told the legislators on Thursday that attorney John Thaler investigated money laundering and racketeering in Maricopa County and reviewed over 120,000 documents which include “fake notarizations, fake deeds of trust, fraudulent buyers and or sellers of the real property transactions, as well as other companies used in real estate transactions, such as real estate brokers, mortgage companies Title and Escrow companies, real estate inspection companies, service companies.”
    Breger made serious accusations against named individuals in government positions and others involved in the alleged scheme. This includes two citizens of Mesa named Dawna Rae Chavez and her daughter, Brittany Rae Chavez, who are both described by Breger as “principal preparers of the documents necessary to affect the racketeering enterprise.”
    As we reported, John Thaler and Brittany Chavez, formerly Brittany Thaler, were once married. Brittany is listed as a defendant in a lawsuit by Plaintiff John Thaler with similar allegations to Breger’s.
    In June 2022, John Thaler alleged that Brittany Thaler “has engaged in an array of criminal enterprises across multiple states, including money laundering and tax evasion, allegedly accomplished via real estate transactions and non-profit organizations; insurance fraud, allegedly accomplished via phony personal injury claims made on behalf of non-existent persons; skimming money from state-run aid programs; narcotics trafficking; hacking into state databases and fabricating public records; bribing public officials, including judges, police officers, judicial assistants, inspectors, assessors, and accountants; bribing private professionals, such as real estate agents and brokers; bankruptcy fraud; election fraud, allegedly accomplished by creating fake ballots and manipulating others in order to influence, among other races, the 2020 election for Maricopa County Recorder; extortion via “crypto-viruses”; the creation of fake employees on payroll systems in order to collect paychecks and benefits; and murder.” Dawna Rae Chavez is also named as a defendant.
    Thaler explained this, stating, “I was directly involved in had a relationship with one of the people who was directly involved very, very much unbeknownst to me.” He then revealed that he married Brittany in 2016 and had a child with her in late 2017. “It was in 2018 when I was looking through documents with the Recorder’s office that I found documents relating to her that clearly also related to the Midwest transactions that I’d been looking at in 2014,” said Thaler.
    Brittany allegedly provided Thaler and a colleague in 2019, “when it became clear what her involvement was,” with hard drives and flash drives, “which contain a lot of the evidence from which we then launched a deeper investigation into this,” says Thaler.
    Mark Finchem ran for Arizona Secretary of State in the corrupt 2022 race against former cartel lawyer Adrian Fontes, who was implicated in this new potential scandal.
    Fontes is accused of appointing “phantom” or “non-existent individuals” to “hold positions related to election services” while serving as the Maricopa County Recorder. According to Jacqueline Breger’s Thursday testimony, Fontes’ loss in 2020 was “planned” so that he could be fraudulently installed into the office of Secretary of State in 2022.
    Other names in this alleged fraud scheme include Katie Hobbs, Mesa Mayor John Giles, Arizona House Speaker Ben Toma, and Runbeck COO Jeff Ellington. Thaler also states that at least three Maricopa County Supervisors “have problems” relating to trafficking, money laundering and racketeering.
    Jacqueline Breger stated on Thursday that she and John Thaler had found phony deeds and illegal transfers for Runbeck and Jeff Ellington, who is closely tied to Arizona House Speaker RINO Ben Toma.
    The Gateway Pundit reported shortly after the stolen 2022 Election that Runbeck COO Jeff Ellington Chairs the Board of Directors of Precision Aero, formerly Riggins Engineering Inc. & Pinnacle Mfg. Co., Inc., which is owned by Toma’s family. If Thaler’s allegations surrounding Toma and Runbeck are true, this is not only a conflict of interest but part of a major election fraud crime.
    John Thaler and Mark Finchem joined Grant Stinchfield on Frank Speech last night to discuss the findings and provide more insight into this investigation.
    Watch the full interview below:
    Thaler: In 2009, the state of Arizona privately ran an audit on their agencies, because they believed that monies were being laundered out of California at that time. Were flowing into state agencies. I can’t comment on that investigation because I was not directly involved in it. However, as part of that investigation, in 2014, the state of Arizona looked at money laundering coming in from California that was going into single-family residences. Whether somebody watches, you know, TV or watches movies, one of the staple money laundering methods has to do with buying and selling real estate. Single Family residents are usually the best. So, we were tasked in 2011 with looking at monies being taken from California from illegal activities in California and moving into the state of Arizona, using the monies for the purchases of single-family residences in some of the outskirt towns, San Tan Valley, Avondale, Goodyear, places like that, Litchfield Park. And we concluded that a lot of monies were flowing into new construction projects that were going on in Arizona. That was kind of the beginning of the construction boom in Arizona. So that’s what we concluded. In 2014, My office was asked to look further at this issue. And at this time, it wasn’t so much monies coming from California, but it was monies coming from the Midwest. So we were asked to look at Midwest cash, mostly coming from Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa to determine whether or not monies going into properties in those states being used for money laundering, were also then flowing into Arizona. Just so your audience knows the monies going into those three states was already known to the US Attorney’s Office from about 2005 to about 2010. The US Attorney’s office actually got indictments, charged individuals, and convicted a number of individuals of money laundering. That included not just the drug dealers and drug suppliers who were doing it, but also, that was real estate agents and brokers. That was, you know, escrow companies and title insurance companies. So we were asked to see whether or not that was flowing into Arizona. And the conclusion by late 2014 was that yes, it was. We did not believe it was widespread at the time, but it was flowing into Arizona. It was especially flowing in again into areas where new properties were being built, so where less expensive housing existed. And from that, we sent in our conclusions, and that, to my knowledge, was kind of going to be the end of it. That was the end of the investigation, we sealed the boxes, and we were done. In 2018, somewhat by accident, now with everything, and before this, just understand, before 2015, documents such as recorder records in most states, including in Arizona and Maricopa County, were not available online. So for us to do research, we had to actually go down to Recorders’ offices, or go down to the Corporation Commission offices and actually request specific documents, then request more documents, and so on and so forth. By 2015, everything was online. So, in 2018 when we were looking for something totally different than this, we actually found additional documents that related to the 2014 investigation. And those documents in 2018 kind of were the beginning of the process of where we’ve gotten to today. So the process of where we are today is that over the last three years, since 2019, my office has been working on investigations involving racketeering activities in Arizona, a lot of which comes from monies funneled from other states, but it also comes from monies that come directly into Arizona through drug transactions.
    Howse: How did you initially discover all this? Is this where a family member comes in?
    Thaler: Brittany and I actually got married in April 2016. We had a child in December of 2017. And It was in 2018 when I was looking through documents with the Recorder’s office that I found documents relating to her that clearly also related to the Midwest transactions that I’d been looking at in 2014. From there, it just kind of went off the scope because once you know what you’re looking for, and you know what the documents are that you’re searching for, especially nowadays with the databasing, we could find far more and more and more documents and that uncovered money laundering activities through these properties. But it also uncovered payroll theft, it covered life insurance fraud, auto insurance fraud, it covered bankruptcy fraud, obviously, tax evasion that goes with it, and then ultimately, that led us to the obvious which was with all this going on, were there officials, both elected and appointed, who are also being bribed?
    So for the most part up until really, a couple of months ago, until really after the 2022 election, we were mostly concentrating on payroll theft, life insurance fraud, and money laundering. And, you know, just to make this more clear, Brittany in November 2019, came to me and came to one of my colleagues when it became clear what her involvement was, and at that time, she asked us for WITSEC protection, which for your audience out there, is federal witness protection. That’s what it’s called. It’s with WITSEC protection. And in order to get that in order to even apply for that, you have to be willing to inform the US Attorney of every criminal activity you’ve been involved in. Well, Brittany was not at the time willing to tell me or my colleague all of the activity she was involved in, but she did provide us with a number of documents. She provided us with a portable hard drive. She provided us with several flash drives, which contain a lot of the evidence from which we then launched a deeper investigation into this. Just to bring you up to present and what this has to do with elections is that once we knew that there were elected and appointed officials who were accepting bribes, or who were certainly participating in some of the racketeering schemes that we had uncovered, we then, seeing some of the things going on with the elections, decided that we would look at election officials themselves. Not just members of the legislature, but people who were appointed to various election positions, both in counties and at the state level. And that’s what brought us to where we are today.

    Liberal Top Candidate for WI Supreme Court Once Sentenced Man Who Brutally Raped His Own Family Member To Only 14 MONTHS In Prison

    100 Percent Fed Up – Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz, now one of the top two candidates remaining for a vacant seat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court, has a record of being soft on crime.

    Protasiewicz is running against ex-Justice Dan Kelly and currently holds an edge over him after liberal justices won 54% of the vote in the first round of the election to conservatives 46%.
    The Wisconsin Republican Party launched a website detailing various instances where Protasiewicz gave violent offenders and sex offenders light sentences.
    Her record includes giving no jail time to a man who raped a 15-year-old and no jail time to a mother who starved her special needs child to death, and, most recently, an instance where she sentenced a man who raped his family member to only 14 months in jail.
    Protasiewicz acknowledged her light sentence, saying she gave him the “least amount of time she thought was appropriate.”

    A liberal candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court gave a man who raped his cousin a 14-month sentence because he “wasn’t a danger to the public.”
    Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz, 60, who is running against the conservative former Justice Daniel Kelly, oversaw the sentencing of Jovian Reese, 23, who was convicted of sexually assaulting his cousin in 2018.
    While Reese faced a maximum sentence of 10 years, Protasiewicz opted to give him just 14 months in prison, along with 50 hours of community service, 1130 WISN reports.
    ‘Mr. Reese, I am giving you the least amount of time I think is appropriate,’ she said during the sentencing. ‘It is significantly less than what I thought I was going to give you.’
    According to the criminal complaint filed against Reese, the then-18-year-old had invited his cousin to his house on December 9, 2017, and raped her after she fell asleep.

    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was confronted by a patriot while she sat at a cafe in San Francisco this weekend.
    The career politician was grilled about everything from Ukraine to insider trading.

    “Nancy, can you tell us why we have over $150 billion going to Ukraine when we have homeless on the streets in your own city” the person asked while filming her response.
    Bystanders quickly came to the defense of Pelosi and began shouting down the man who dared to ask her questions.

    “Nancy, can I get some stock trading tips on how to get semiconductors in Taiwan?”
    Pelosi made headlines after her husband Paul sold as much as $5 million worth of shares of chipmaker Nvidia as the House was preparing to vote on a bill focusing on the domestic chip manufacturing industry.
    Even an Obama administration ethics watchdog, Walter Shaub, criticized Pelosi’s stock moves, telling Fox News it was “disgusting.”
    The American people are sick of members of Congress buying and selling stock and creating the appearance of trading on insider information,” Schaub said. “They should absolutely be banned from trading stocks. Let them buy diversified mutual funds. Let them buy government bonds. But bar them from trading stocks for crying out loud.
    The heckler appeared to be removed from the building as he asked one more question, “Nancy, is your son involved with Hunter Biden?”

  • CIA Head Says US is ‘Confident’ China is Considering Assisting Russia, Days After Zelenskyy Threatened WWIII if They Do

    CIA Head Says US is ‘Confident’ China is Considering Assisting Russia, Days After Zelenskyy Threatened WWIII if They Do

    CIA Director William Burns claimed that the US is “confident” that China is considering providing Russia with equipment for the conflict in Ukraine — just days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy threatened that if the CCP allies with the Kremlin against his nation, there will be World War III.
    Burns made the assertion in a teaser of an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation” that is scheduled to air in full on Sunday.
    “We’re confident that the Chinese leadership is considering the provision of lethal equipment,” Burns said. “We also don’t see that a final decision has been made yet, and we don’t see evidence of actual shipments of lethal equipment.”

    CIA Director William Burns says the U.S. is “confident” that China is “considering the provision of lethal equipment” to aid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Burns told @margbrennan that the U.S. is hoping to “deter” Beijing from making a “very risky and unwise bet.” pic.twitter.com/9iD5XLGAy0
    — Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) February 25, 2023

    Secretary of State Antony Blinken also claimed this was the case last weekend.
    “That’s why, I think, Secretary Blinken and the President have thought it important to make very clear what the consequences of that would be as well … because it would be a very risky and unwise bet,” Burns continued.
    On Monday, China said Americans were trying to worsen the conflict and claimed that the CCP is “on the side of peace and dialogue.”
    “It is the U.S., not China, that has been pouring weapons into the battlefield,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said. “The U.S. is in no position to tell China what to do.”
    Zelenskyy threatened World War III over it on Monday in an interview with German newspaper Die Welt.
    Zelenskyy Threatens World War III If China Allies With Russia

    “For us, it is important that China does not support the Russian Federation in this war,” the Ukrainian president said. “In fact, I would like it to be on our side. At the moment, however, I don’t think it’s possible.”
    “Because if China allies itself with Russia, there will be a world war, and I do think that China is aware of that,” Zelenskyy threatened.
    This week, Zelenskyy also trashed Americans that are opposed to giving him more of our money.
    Then, the mood shifted as Zelenskyy addressed the Americans who prefer that taxpayer funds go to help Americans.
    “And that percentage of Americans as you’ve mentioned is increasing, I can tell them only one thing: If they do not change their opinion, if they do not understand us, if they do not support Ukraine — they will lose NATO, they will lose the clout of the United States, they will lose the leadership position that they enjoy in the world, that they enjoy in the world. That they enjoy for a very fair reason,” Zelenskyy said.
    The Ukrainian president continued, “And they will lose the support of the country with 40 million population, with millions of children. Are Americans’ children any different from ours?”
    “Don’t Americans enjoy the same things as we do? I don’t think we’re that different.”

  • Democrat Nebraska State Senator Says She Will Filibuster ALL BILLS Unless GOP Backs Down on Abortion, Transgender Surgeries for Minors

    Democrat Nebraska State Senator Says She Will Filibuster ALL BILLS Unless GOP Backs Down on Abortion, Transgender Surgeries for Minors

    Democrat Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh has vowed to filibuster all bills unless Republicans back down on bills that would ban abortion and transgender surgeries and hormones for minors.
    Sen. Cavanaugh pledged to bring the Senate to a standstill on Thursday if she did not get her way.
    “If this legislature collectively decides that legislating hate against children is our priority, then I am going to make it painful; painful for everyone,” Cavanaugh said at the state capitol in Lincoln. “Because if you want to inflict pain upon our children, I am going to inflict pain upon this body.”
    The senator has already stonewalled LB147, a bill that changes procedures for property tax refunds. The bill was introduced by Omaha Sen. Kathleen Kauth, who Cavanaugh has a specific issue with because she also introduced the legislation to ban hormones and transgender surgeries for minors.
    “If LB574 gets an early floor debate and moves forward, it will be very painful for this body. And if people are like, ‘Is she threatening us?’ Let me be clear: Yes I am,” Cavanaugh said on the floor, according to a report from local station WOWT.
    According to the report, “Cavanaugh promised to take every single bill to cloture, meaning hours of debate on every single bill that comes to the floor.”
    To stop the madness, Cavanaugh demanded, “take your names off of that piece of poop LB574. Talk to the speaker — demand good governance. Be better. Be who the children of Nebraska deserve because they do not deserve this.”
    LB574, or the Let Them Grow Act, would prohibit physicians in the state from performing or referring an individual for gender alteration procedures if the individual is under 19.
    “A physician who knowingly violates the bill’s provisions would be subject to review by the state’s medical licensing board. An individual who received a gender altering procedure while under the age of 19, or their parent or guardian, could bring a civil action against the physician within two years of a procedure,” Sen. Kauth said in a statement about the legislation.
    The bill would also prohibit the distribution or use of state funds for any entity, organization, or individual that provides gender-altering procedures to minors.
    “More than 85 percent of kids with gender dysphoria will desist if left alone in a process called ‘watchful waiting’,” Sen. Kauth said in a statement. “These children need therapy to deal with the coexisting mental and emotional struggles they are experiencing — not irreversible, harmful and experimental medical procedures.”

  • JEROME CORSI: Obama Went After General Flynn Because He Was a Risk of Indicting Him and Hillary for High Crimes and Misdemeanors (PART 3)

    JEROME CORSI: Obama Went After General Flynn Because He Was a Risk of Indicting Him and Hillary for High Crimes and Misdemeanors (PART 3)

    How Secretary Hillary Clinton Engineered the Obama Administration’s Illegal, Covert Diversion of Weapons from al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists in Libya to ISIS in Syria
    Guest post by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.
    This article is the third of a series of articles explaining why President Obama enlisted the federal government’s national security and justice agencies to make sure Lt. General Michael Flynn never served as President Trump’s national security advisor.  In September 2011, Flynn was promoted to Lieutenant General and assigned as assistant director of national intelligence in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).  On April 17, 2012, President Barack Obama nominated Flynn to be the 18th director of DIA.  On April 30, 2014, President Obama forced Flynn to retire because Flynn had collected sufficient intelligence on Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to charge Obama and Clinton with high crimes and misdemeanors.  The premise of this article series is that as Trump’s national security director in the White House, Flynn would have pursued President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” over their illegal, clandestine supplying of weapons to terrorists in Libya.  This series of articles draws on reporting Jerome Corsi previously published in World Net Daily [WND.com] from 2011-2015 when he worked at WND.com as a senior staff reporter.
    Why did Barack Obama turn against Muammar Gaddafi?
    The answer may be deceptively simple: The moment that Gaddafi became inconvenient to al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood, Gaddafi became inconvenient to Obama.
    In 2011, Gaddafi stood in the way of the al-Qaeda splinter group militia and the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan in Libya to advance the Arab Spring in North Africa by removing Muammar Qaddafi from power.  The first article explained that President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton engineered an illegal, covert operation to run weapons to the al-Qaeda splinter militia groups and the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya.  So, Obama and Clinton succeeded in converting Libya into a Sharia Law-driven Islamic terrorist state.  After Qaddafi was deposed, Stevens was appointed U.S. ambassador to Libya.  As U.S. ambassador, Stevens’s job shifted from overseeing the Obama-Clinton covert gun-running to Libya to supervising the shipment of arms from Libya to Syria to arm the rebels fighting Assad, some of whom ultimately become al-Nusra in Syria and some become ISIS.  The second article examined the Marc Turi indictment.  This case leaves no doubt Hillary Clinton was the chief architect of the Obama administration’s illegal, covert gun-running operation to Libya and subsequently to Syria.  This third article examines the illegal, covert gun-running operation President Obama and Secretary Clinton organized, diverting weapons from Libya to Syria to support ISIS.
    As Trump’s national security advisor, General Flynn could have accessed the classified documentary evidence required to charge Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton with having engaged in “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” over their covert gun-running to al-Qaeda splinter militia groups and the Muslim Brother in Libya, as well as their clandestine gun-running to ISIS in Syria.
    ******
    Part 3
    Documents released by Judicial Watch and separately by Wikileaks from 2015-2017 provided evidence the Obama administration implemented a policy suggested by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2011 to arm the Free Syria Army rebels in Syria. Clinton’s goal was to topple the regime of Bashar al-Assad, complementing a strategy Clinton and Obama had already begun implementing to switch sides to support Al-Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated in Libya to topple Gadhafi.  These documents back up Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made on December 27, 2016, that U.S.-led coalition forces had “supported” ISIS.
    On May 18, 2015, Judicial Watch released more than 100 pages of previously classified “Secret” documents from the Department of Defense [DOD] and the Department of State that contain the first official documentation that the Obama administration knew that weapons were being shipped from the Port of Benghazi to rebel troops in Syria.  Among the documents made public, Judicial Watch published a Defense Intelligence Agency [DIA} report written in August 2012 (the same time the U.S. monitored weapons flows from Libya to Syria) that said al-Qaeda and other extremist Muslim groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood-led the opposition in Syria.
    In an interview with Democracy Now’s Juan González on July 25, 2016, Assange explained that the thousands of documents released by Wikileaks into the “Clinton Email Archive” contain some 1,700 emails that connect Clinton to Al Qaida and ISIS in both Libya and Syria. Assange stated that these emails prove Secretary of State Hillary Clinton implemented an Obama administration policy of supplying weapons to ISIS in Syria.
    “So, those Hillary Clinton emails, they connect together with the cables that we have published of Hillary Clinton, creating a rich picture of how Hillary Clinton performs in office, but, more broadly, how the U.S. Department of State operates,” Assange explained in the interview. “So, for example, the disastrous, absolutely disastrous intervention in Libya, the destruction of the Gaddafi government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of that country, weapons flows going over to Syria, being pushed by Hillary Clinton, into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS, that’s there in those emails.”
    In an email dated Aug. 17, 2014, released by Wikileaks, Clinton suggested to John Podesta, after she was no longer secretary of state, the following: “At the same time, we should return to plans to provide the FSA [Free Syria Army], with some group of moderate forces, with equipment that will allow them to deal with a weakened ISIL, and stepped up operations against the Syrian regime.”
    In an article published by National Review on Oct. 12, 2016, Andrew C. McCarthy, a senior policy fellow at the National Review Institute, tied this statement to the Obama administration’s plans to equip Syrian fighters, specifically either the Free Syrian Army or “other moderate forces” to U.S.-led operation in coordination with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey to steer weapons to Syria, “ostensibly to fight both Assad and ISIS.”  McCarthy noted, however, that Clinton’s 2014 memo to Podesta asserts the Saudi and Qatari governments both support ISIS and other “radical Sunni groups.”
    On August 30, 2016, the New York Times released an audio recording of remarks then-Secretary of State John Kerry made to a small group of Syrian civilians behind closed doors.  In these remarks, Kerry admitted the Obama administration not only hoped ISIS would depose the regime of Assad al-Bashar in Syria but also gave arms to the jihadist army and its allies to carry out the task.
    In 2011, Obama and Clinton engaged in a policy shift, deciding to implement regime change events toppling the governments of Gadhafi in Libya and Assad in Syria, even if it meant arming radical Islamic terrorist groups that traced back to al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood.  On June 20, 2011, Clinton’s longtime adviser Sidney Blumenthal sent a confidential email to Clinton at the State Department that included an article published by David W. Lesch, a professor of Middle Eastern history at Trinity University in San Antonio.  In his opinion piece, Lesch argued a regime change strategy could be effected in Syria if the U.S. could find opposition groups in Syria capable of establishing “a Benghazi-like refuge from which to launch a rebellion and to which aid can be sent.”
    In a subsequent confidential email dated July 24, 2012, Blumenthal further advised Clinton that the “growing success of the rebel forces of the Free Syria Army, FSA,” inspired him to believe the Assad regime was increasingly vulnerable to being toppled.  In an email dated Feb. 24, 2012, Blumenthal characterized the FSA as “loosely organized and uncoordinated,” noting it was “for the most part, local militias, many of them civilian based, that are simply calling themselves the FSA to appear to be part of a whole.”  Blumenthal continued in that email to comment the armed resistance to Assad “is not well funded or well armed.”
    On Feb. 28, 2012, Jacob Sullivan, a State Department senior policy advisor to Secretary Clinton, forwarded to Clinton an opinion piece published in the New York Times by foreign correspondent Roger Cohen.  In the opinion piece, Cohen made the link suggesting the strategy Obama and Clinton had used to topple Gadhafi in Libya should be used to topple Assad in Syria.  “As the Bosnian war showed, the basis for any settlement must be a rough equality of forces. So I say step up the efforts, already quietly ongoing, to get weapons to the Free Syrian Army. Train those forces, just as the rebels were trained in Libya,” Cohen wrote. Payback time has come around: The United States warned Assad about allowing Al Qaeda fighters to transit Syria to Iraq. Now matériel and special forces with the ability to train a ragtag army can transit Iraq — and other neighboring states — into Syria.”  Then, on Sept. 18, 2012, one week after the disastrous Benghazi 9/11 terror attack, Blumenthal, in a confidential memo to Clinton.  In the memo, Blumenthal alerted Clinton to the possibility of an FSA military victory taking over Damascus.  He noted that this possibility had caused Assad’s wife and close relatives to urge Assad to flee Syria to avoid “the fate of Assad’s former ally Muammar al Qaddafi of Libya, who was captured and killed by rebel forces while attempting to flee his home territory in Sirte.”
    In 2013, then-Senator John Kerry joined forces with Senator John McCain to represent the Free Syria Army, or FSA, as “moderates” among the rebel forces.  In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on September 3, 2013, Kerry cited Elizabeth O’Bagy.  Kerry argued that the war in Syria is “not being waged entirely or even predominately by dangerous Islamists and al-Qaida die-hards.” Instead, “moderate opposition forces—a collection of groups known as the Free Syria Army” are leading the struggle.  At that time, O’Bagy was a 26-year-old graduate student currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Arab studies and political science at Georgetown University, who was working on a dissertation on woman’s militancy.  On August 30, 2013, O’Bagy published an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal entitled “On the Front Lines of Syria’s Civil War,” which ran with a tagline, “The conventional wisdom – that jihadists are running the rebellion [in Syria] – is not what I’ve witnessed on the ground.”  On September 27, 2013, reporter Sarah Hurtubise writing in the Daily Caller, revealed that McCain had hired O’Bagy as a legislative assistant, ignoring that she had been fired from the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) for fabricating her Ph.D.   In a statement issued after Kerry’s testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the ISW issued a statement: “The Institute for the Study of War has learned and confirmed that, contrary to her representations, Ms. Elizabeth O’Bagy does not in fact have a Ph.D. degree from Georgetown University. ISW has accordingly terminated Ms. O’Bagy’s employment, effective immediately.”
    Before ISW fired her, O’Bagy worked as a senior research analyst and leader of the ISW Syrian team.  In that capacity, O’Bagy authored for the ISW a March 2013 report entitled “The Free Syrian Army,” in which she argued:
    The opposition movement in Syria has been fragmented from its inception, a direct reflection of Syria’s social complexity and the decentralized grassroots of the uprising.  This condition has plagued Syria’s armed opposition since peaceful protestors took up arms and began forming rebel groups under the umbrella of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the summer of 2001.
    In 2013, O’Bagy also worked as the political director of the Washington-based Syrian Emergency Task Force, or SETF. This group encouraged Americans to send money to buy weapons for the Free Syria Group. O’Bagy played a central role in organizing McCain’s controversial trip to Syria in May 2013.  On May 27, 2013, the Los Angeles Times reported that O’Bagy, in her capacity as political director for the Syrian Emergency Task Force, said had given the newspaper a telephone interview from Turkey.  In the interview, O’Bagy explained that McCain’s office approached the task force two weeks earlier to ask if the Syrian Emergency Task Force could arrange for him to meet with Syrian rebel leaders in Syria.  O’Bagy, who accompanied McCain on the Senator’s May trip to the Middle East, followed through, arranging for McCain to meet operatives of the Free Syrian Army who had ties to ISIS.  McCain met with FSA commanders in two meetings in Gaziantep, Turkey.  One meeting was about a half mile inside the Syrian border at the Bab Salameh border crossing, where McCain talked with the Asifat al-Shamal, identified as the FSA’s Northern Storm Brigade.  In the other meeting, McCain met with Gen. Salim Idriss, the leader of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army.  Idriss asked McCain to urge the United States to give heavy weapons to the FSA, set up a no-fly zone in Syria, and conduct military air attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
    Returning to the central theme, Obama and his coup d’état co-conspirators could not afford to risk allowing Lieutenant General Flynn to serve as President Trump’s national security advisor in the White House.  As a former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in the Obama administration, Flynn would have been able to gather the internal classified documents that could prove to the American people the Obama administration’s treasonous gun-running operations in Libya and Syria.
    In 2020, Jerome Corsi published Coup d’État: Exposing Deep State Treason, from which much of this article was drawn.  In 2019, he published Silent No More: How I Became a Political Prisoner of Mueller’s “Witch Hunt,” explaining how the Mueller prosecutors confronted Dr. Corsi for over two months for hours at a time in a closed conference room with no windows.  Dr. Corsi effectively ended the Mueller “Russian Collusion” investigation when he refused to take the Mueller prosecutors’ plea deal, alleging he had lied to the FBI.  The FBI never indicted Dr. Corsi—further proof the Mueller prosecutors were the ones telling the lies.

  • Biden Scolds ABC’s David Muir For Asking About His Stolen Classified Documents Scandal (VIDEO)

    Biden Scolds ABC’s David Muir For Asking About His Stolen Classified Documents Scandal (VIDEO)

    Joe Biden on Friday sat down for a one-on-one softball interview with ABC’s David Muir to discuss Russia, China, Ukraine, the impending nuclear war and scandals plaguing his adminsistration.
    David Muir asked Joe Biden about his classified documents scandal.
    Joe Biden stole SCIF-designated classified documents and improperly stored them at the Penn Biden Center.

    Biden also stored classified documents in his garage next to his Corvette where his son Hunter had access to the sensitive materials.

    Biden scolded David Muir for daring to ask if he was “irresponsible” for improperly storing classified documents.
    “Can you assure the American people that none of the documents discovered in your garage or your old office compromised sources or methods or U.S. intelligence?” Muir asked.
    Biden deflected and said he was advised by his counsel not to discuss the case since it is an ‘ongoing’ Justice Department investigation.
    “I’ve been advised by the counsel, let the Justice Department make that decision to not try to alter the case in any way,” Biden said.
    Muir pressed Biden, “When you hear about boxes in your garage or in your old office, you call the Trump discovery ‘Irresponsible.’ Is there something irresponsible here though, too?”
    Biden pointed his finger at David Muir and fired back.
    “You know, you’re a good lawyer,” Biden said scolding him. “But you’re trying to make a comparison. There’s degrees of irresponsibility that are – they can be significant degrees of responsibility. The way in which the boxes were packed up from my office, apparently, not everything was gone through as meticulously as it should have. But there was no intention.”
    WATCH:

    Pres. Biden tells @DavidMuir that “there’s degrees of irresponsibility” when it comes to the DOJ’s investigations into both him and former Pres. Trump over the discovery of classified documents. “There’s nothing for me to hide.” he adds. https://t.co/wIixdvC4aq pic.twitter.com/j1euQZY9Pr

  • Wheel Of Fortune Contestant Commits Probably The Worst Blunder In Show’s History And Fails To Solve The Easiest Puzzle In The World (VIDEO)

    Wheel Of Fortune Contestant Commits Probably The Worst Blunder In Show’s History And Fails To Solve The Easiest Puzzle In The World (VIDEO)

    Moments like this remind us all of the failing public education system in America.
    A female contestant named Khushi was on Monday’s Wheel of Fortune broadcast. Before her choke job, she had managed some correct guesses to narrow the puzzle down to the final two letters.
    The puzzle at the time read FRE TROPICAL FRUIT, missing an “S” and “H”
    But Khushi can’t solve it. She instead spins the wheel and asks for an “H,” collecting a bit more money in the process.
    Now the puzzle reads FRE H TROPICAL FRUIT. Surely Khushi can solve it now, right?
    Wrong. Khushi still does not know the answer and spins once more.
    Then disaster strikes.
    WATCH:

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard a single audience member audibly have such a violent reaction on Wheel of Fortune, as this lady did when a poor contestant called a G in “Fresh”. pic.twitter.com/FiFWTNlphM

    Fregh Tropical Fruit? A toddler could have done better.
    Newsweek has more:
    Another contestant called Julianna then stepped in to correctly solve the puzzle as “FRESH TROPICAL FRUIT,” scooping not only $650 but a luxury trip to the Caribbean island of Antigua worth $10,000.
    As the dust settled, Sajak attempted to explain how contestants can sometimes be stuck for an answer, even when it appears obvious to viewers.
    “You know when that happens and you’re sitting at home, you’re saying, ‘How in the world can that [not be solved]?’” Sajak said. “But, you know, sometimes it’s a word that just doesn’t want to come into focus for you.”
    Poor Khushi. The bright side to this whole embarrassment is Pat Sajak reminded us once more that he is a total class act.
