  • Illinois Struggles Like A Border Town Under Democrat Joe Biden

    Illinois Struggles Like A Border Town Under Democrat Joe Biden

    Even far Northern states are now being abused by the federal government as if they are just another little border town, and Democrats are to blame for all of the change to American life that is making people miserable. “Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzke, a Democrat, on Wednesday called up 75 members of the Illinois National Guard to help organize shelter, food and medical care for migrants arriving by bus from Texas,” according to the AP. About 500 people seeking asylum in the United States have been transported from the border by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott since the end of last month. Thousands have also been shipped to New York City and Washington, D.C., Democratic-led cities serving as sanctuaries for immigrants. “While other states may be treating these vulnerable families as pawns, here in Illinois, we are treating them as people,” Pritzker said at a Chicago news conference. But Pritzker said Abbott is sending busloads of migrants in the U.S. legally seeking asylum, without notice and attempts to communicate with Texas officials go unheeded. Pritzker’s emergency declaration speeds up procurement of needed supplies and the National Guard will help provide services they need.

    “We are now 11 buses deep, and we know from speaking with our counterparts in New York and D.C., this will not relent,” said Grace Hou, secretary of Human Services. Pritzker said officials have asked Texas to send the buses to welcoming centers, which are equipped to hand such newcomers, but the buses arrive at Union Station downtown. Pritzker on Wednesday issued an emergency disaster proclamation in response to several hundred foreign nationals being bused to the state from the southern border by Texas’ governor. Here is the full release:

    Gov. Pritzker Issues Disaster Proclamation to Unlock Resources to Assist Asylum Seekers

    CHICAGO — Governor JB Pritzker today issued an emergency disaster proclamation and activated approximately 75 members of the Illinois National Guard to ensure all state resources are available to support asylum seekers arriving nearly daily to Chicago from the State of Texas. The proclamation enables the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and other state agencies, in close coordination with the City of Chicago, Cook County, and other local governments, to ensure the individuals and families receive the assistance they need. This includes transport, emergency shelter and housing, food, health screenings, medical assessments, treatments, and other necessary care and services “Today, I signed a disaster proclamation allowing the state to speed up the procurement of the immediate resources needed to help Chicago, Cook County, and other jurisdictions provide humanitarian assistance to the asylum seekers who are being sent to our state with no official advance notice by the Governor of Texas,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “Let me be clear: while other states may be treating these vulnerable families as pawns, here in Illinois, we are treating them as people.” The proclamation is necessary to ensure sufficient capacity to meet the needs of more than 500 asylum seekers who have arrived already, with more buses arriving nearly every day. The robust statewide response will include IEMA, the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). IEMA has also established a Unified Area Command in Chicago to quickly deploy resources to support the operations. The groups of migrants arriving via Texas are residing in the United States legally, proceeding through the legal immigration and asylum seeking process. They are often fleeing dangerous and perilous situations, and mostly coming from Central and South America. At the southern border, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol conducts biometric screenings – including facial and fingerprints – that are cross-checked against terrorist watch lists and criminal databases. New arrivals also undergo health screenings at the border as well as additional screenings once they reach Chicago. Many of the families and individuals seeking asylum, who began arriving in Chicago on August 31, faced long and difficult journeys from their homes. Some require medical care, including pre-natal care for pregnant women; treatment for malnourishment, dehydration, and asthma in children; foot injury and wound care; vaccinations; and chronic health condition management. They are also in need of mental health assessments and care to begin to recover from the traumas experienced on their journey. “Illinois is a welcoming beacon of hope for all who are seeking a home and stability here,” said Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton. “The asylum seekers arriving to our state deserve care, compassion, and dignity, because that is what any person pursuing a better life for themselves and their families would want. We will stand with them by continuing efforts to provide the care and services they need to move forward.” To date, the State of Texas has been transporting asylum-seeking families and individuals to Illinois with no advance notice and with no coordination with the State of Illinois or the City of Chicago. The buses have been directed to drop their passengers at Union Station in Downtown Chicago despite requests from State and City officials that travelers be brought to Welcome Centers. Gov. Pritzker has repeatedly called on Texas to treat these asylum seekers with dignity, to open the lines of communication with his office, and to stop trying to manufacture chaos for political purposes. “For weeks now, City, County and State leaders, in partnership with community organizations, have been on the frontlines to welcome migrants seeking sanctuary from traumatic situations in Venezuela and other Latin American countries,” said Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot. “That’s because we believe that no human being should be turned away during their most vulnerable time and should instead be welcomed with open arms and support. Today, I applaud Governor Pritzker and his team for putting a Declaration of a State of Emergency in place, which will bolster our efforts to ensure new migrants are received, provided with assistance and importantly, treated with dignity and respect.” “We remain committed to assisting each individual and each family, bringing the unique services of Cook County Government and Cook County Health to support this work, doing so in strong partnership and collaboration with the City and State, putting the interests of individuals and families first to ensure their basic needs are met upon arrival,” said Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. “Cook County Health has a nearly two century history of providing critical services and meaningful assistance to those most in need across all our communities. We are proud to be a safe and welcoming County for all who choose to visit or reside here.” “No human being, especially those seeking asylum and fleeing dangerous situations, should be treated as a pawn during a time when they are at their most vulnerable,” said Sean R. McDermott, Mayor of the City of Countryside. “In Countryside, we were proud to welcome these families and individuals into our community, providing them with the safety, security, and services they deserve. I look forward to continuing to work with Governor Pritzker, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and other local elected officials to ensure Illinois remains a welcoming state for all who need it.” “These individuals and family members arriving in our state are people. They are us, they are our parents, they are our grand-parents or our great grandparents who were fleeing terror or violence and are seeking something better in our country. They find themselves as our neighbors, because in Texas some were told that Chicago was the only option. Within the blink of an eye, within moments – they are asked to make a life decision – and they do,” said Grace B. Hou, Secretary, Illinois Department of Human Services. “We, at IDHS, are naming our efforts – Welcoming with Dignity. Human Dignity is the least we can promise. We remain committed to welcoming every human being here in Illinois.” “We know that many of these resilient asylum seekers have had difficult journeys to reach Chicago,” said Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. Sameer Vohra. “IDPH is working closely with our partners in Chicago, Cook County, and other local governments, as well as state agency partners, to ensure that asylum seekers both receive appropriate initial health care screening and access to important vaccinations and treatments. Our goal is to ensure that these individuals, children, and families receive the services they need to stay healthy.” “We are coordinating with local and county emergency management officials who stand ready to provide assistance as we coordinate and support this complex operation,” said Alicia Tate-Nadeau, Director of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA). “It is mission critical that we track any and all available resources and services for asylum seekers as they start a new life here in the U.S.
  • Freight rail strike threatens supply chains, prompting White House planning

    Freight rail strike threatens supply chains, prompting White House planning

    A national railroad strike could derail critical deliveries of chlorine to wastewater treatment plants and coal to utility plants, among other potentially crippling disruptions, prompting senior White House aides on Tuesday to review contingency options for protecting the nation’s drinking water and energy supply.

    White House aides are looking at how to ensure essential products carried by rail — such as food, energy and key health products — could still reach their destinations, even in the event of a strike. Senior officials have looked at how highways, ports and waterways can be used to offset any damage caused, while also talking to top officials in the shipping, freight and logistics industries.

    President Biden was briefed on the matter Tuesday morning, after he called the carriers and unions on Monday to press them to accept a deal, a White House official said. Senior officials at the White House are now leading daily meetings with the Departments of Agriculture, Transportation and Energy and other top agencies about how to mitigate the impact. Biden aides in particular are working to ensure that hazardous materials carried by rail are safely transported without hurting workers. The White House actions were described by multiple people with knowledge of the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal planning.

    Administration officials have also been in regular contact with Greg Abel, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, while trying to find a solution. Berkshire Hathaway owns BNSF, one of the largest freight railroad networks in North America.

    Negotiations between the carriers and unions are ongoing, and a deal could emerge at any point.

    At issue is a dispute between railway carriers and two unions, representing 57,000 conductors and engineers, over attendance policies. A federally mandated cooling-off period ends Friday, which opens the possibility of a strike, if employees refuse to go to work, or a lockout, if the carriers refuse to let workers do their jobs.

    “We’re not that far apart in negotiations,” said Dennis Pierce, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, one of the unions that has not reached a deal. He said the carriers BNSF and Union Pacific are holding up negotiations.

    In the meantime, some freight carriers have begun limiting services, suspending hazmat shipments and parking trains in what appears to be preparation for a lockout, according to union officials and labor experts. Amtrak, which carries passengers on freight lines, on Monday canceled some long-distance routes, ruining travel plans for hundreds of passengers.Amtrak cancellations, passenger frustrations grow amid strike threat

    Jessica Kahanek, a spokesperson for the Association of American Railroads, a freight rail industry group, said that the carriers “are not planning a lockout on Friday if ongoing negotiations remain unresolved.”

    Biden appointed an emergency board in July to mediate the dispute, following two years of negotiations between six of the largest freight carriers and 12 unions that represent railroad workers. Nine unions have reached tentative agreements with the carriers based on the board’s recommendations, leaving the two largest unions without a deal in place. A smaller union, the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen, struck down a tentative deal with the carriers on Monday night and has returned to the bargaining table.

  • Pete Santilli Taunts FBI Who Seized Mike Lindell’s Phone, Tells Them To Grab Election Data Too [VIDEO]

    Pete Santilli Taunts FBI Who Seized Mike Lindell’s Phone, Tells Them To Grab Election Data Too [VIDEO]

    Pete Santilli wasted no time living up to his moniker as a ‘Conservative Provocateur’ on Wednesday morning’s show when he responded to the FBI agents who seized the personal phone of the CEO of My Pillow, Mike Lindell.

    Santilli texted a personal message to the FBI, who are digging through Lindell’s phone, taunting them to not be like other raiders- when the FBI literally ignored damaging evidence against Democrats, only to grab up information damaging to Democrats’ political opponents.

    Santilli called them out.

    Santilli reminded the FBI since they were going after election issues, not to forget to look at the essential election data they had been avoiding -when grabbing Lindell’s property:

    Santilli is on a personal mission to get information to the public about Dennis Montgomery and his research; however, it is doubtful that the FBI is going to pay attention to Santilli’s bait – because it will lead them to see corruption they do not want to acknowledge.

    KEYPOINT: According to his BIO- Dennis Lee Montgomery is an American software designer and former medical technician who sold computer programs to federal officials that he claimed would decode secret Al-Qaeda messages hidden in Al Jazeera broadcasts and identify terrorists based on Predator drone videos.

    You are going to hear a lot more about Montgomery on the Pete Santilli show– which is shown on numerous streaming platforms, including GETTR and FrankSpeech TV. 8-11AM and 6-9PM

    Are the FBO going to cover the issue fairly- or are they are too busy hunting Americans and taking our property and calling us terrorists for our activism and for waving a ‘Betsy Ross’ flag?

    Lindell appeared in Santilli’s live stream on Tuesday to announce the breaking news that the FBI from the Colorado field office had boxed Lindell’s car into place in a parking lot while he was traveling home from a hunting trip and was stopped to get a hamburger for lunch. That is where the FBI detained Lindell long enough to take his property which was his personal phone he said he runs five different businesses on- and even uses for his hearing aids!

    WATCH AS LINDELL DESCRIBES THE SCENE:

    The outrageous overreach of the FBI just moved Santilli into action, inspired of course, by the outrageous story of a similar style Gestapo raid on the home of Rudy Guiliani, when the FBI took everything – except for the data that came from the laptop of Democrat Joe Biden’s son-Hunter Biden.

    Flashback to April 30, 2021 as reported by The Independent:

    “Rudy Giuliani says he offered FBI agents Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drives during the early morning raid at his New York apartment.

    Donald Trump’s lawyer told Tucker Carlson on Fox News that despite his offer, the agents refused to take the hard drives from him.”

    But just like the Hunter Biden Laptop – the election evidence is just being pushed away. Of course, Santilli – as his viewers know-he is no stranger to the clown show of the FBI. He has seen years of it.

    Hopefully, the FBI doesn’t nab Santilli’s phone next.

  • Former Clinton Advisor: Trump Has Evidence Against The FBI

    Former Clinton Advisor: Trump Has Evidence Against The FBI

    September 14, 2022 at 06:56AM Former Clinton Advisor: Trump Has Evidence Against The FBI

    A former Clinton advisor believes Trump has dirt on the FBI.

    Dick Morris a former advisor to Bill Clinton has stated that he belives Trump isn’t evading the FBI but rather the FBI is evading Trump.

    Morris was quoted saying “I think that one of the big reasons — if not the major reason — that the FBI seized those documents is that they incriminate not Trump, but the FBI in the Russia collusion scandal”.

    The former Clinton advisor would go on to say  Mar-a-Lago was raided because the FBI wanted to get a hold of the documents before Trump did.

    Here’s what the Conservative Brief reported:

    Dick Morris, a former advisor to former President Bill Clinton, believes that the search of former President Donald Trump’s home is not about Trump evading the FBI but the FBI evading him.

    “We need to go from defense to offense on this,” he said to Newsmax. “I think that one of the big reasons — if not the major reason — that the FBI seized those documents is that they incriminate not Trump, but the FBI in the Russia collusion scandal, in the scandal of spying on Trump’s campaign, and in the scandal of fabricating evidence to the FISA court to lead to wiretaps on key Trump officials.”

    Morris has also been an advisor to former President Trump said he did not believe he would have taken documents with him to Mar-a-Lago to

    “Why would Donald Trump take documents with him to Mar-a-Lago that could impact could be bad for him and not declassify them so that they were innocuous,” he said to host Rita Cosby. “Why would he do that? He wasn’t writing a book or anything like that.

    “I think the only reason that he took them with him — well, the major reason — was for him to review them to find evidence implicating the FBI.

    “That’s why they raided Mar-a-Lago to get a hold of that stuff before Trump did. And I think that what we’re looking here is not about Donald Trump evading the FBI, but the FBI evading Donald Trump,” he said.

    Morris believes that the FBI wanted the documents because they may show an abuse of power by the FBI.

    Newsmax got the scoop too:

    The raid of former President Donald Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago might not be about securing an indictment as much as covering for the FBI’s pursuit of Trump, according to presidential adviser Dick Morris on Newsmax.

    “We need to go from defense to offense on this,” Morris, who has advised former President Bill Clinton and former President Donald Trump, told “Saturday Report.” “I think that one of the big reasons — if not the major reason — that the FBI seized those documents is that they incriminate not Trump, but the FBI in the Russia collusion scandal, in the scandal of spying on Trump’s campaign, and in the scandal of fabricating evidence to the FISA court to lead to wiretaps on key Trump officials.”

    Morris, who speaks with Trump regularly as a presidential campaign adviser, had only one good explanation for Trump storing the documents at Mar-a-Lago, which the Justice Department claims was not declassified by the former president.

  • Biden signs executive order designed to unleash transhumanist hell on America and the world

    Biden signs executive order designed to unleash transhumanist hell on America and the world

    September 13, 2022 at 04:46PM Biden signs executive order designed to unleash transhumanist hell on America and the world

    If anyone needed proof that the powers pushing the levers behind the mindless moron who sits in the Oval Office are fully on board with the World Economic Forum/United Nations agenda of biomedical tyranny and transhumanism, look no further than the executive order that Joe Biden signed on Monday, September 12.

    By quietly getting Biden’s signature on this document, his handlers may have given us the most ominous sign yet that we stand on the threshold of a technocratic one-world beast system. Prepare to make your stand because it’s about to get much more intense.

    This document’s Orwellian title, Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy, will assure that its significance will fly right over the heads of 99 percent of the media, even the conservative media.

    They will read it and yawn. I plead with everyone reading this article to please not make that same mistake.

    Because of the arcane scientific language in which this document is written, even most of those who take the time to read and study it (I assure you Biden did not) will not fully grasp what is being ordered by the White House.

    That’s where we strive to help.

    Karen Kingston, a former Pfizer employee and current analyst for the pharmaceutical and medical-device industries, helps us decipher what’s going on in this executive order.

    Kingston stated in a Twitter post:

    “Let me read between the lines for the America. Biden’s Sept. 12, 2022, executive order declares that Americans must surrender all human rights that stand in the way of transhumanism. Clinical trial safety standards and informed consent will be eradicated as they stand in the way of universally unleashing gene-editing technologies needed to merge humans with A.I. In order to achieve the societal goals of the New World Order, crimes against humanity are not only legal, but mandatory.”

    Patrick Wood, an economist and author of several books on technocracy, has been following the transhumanist and global technocracy movements for four decades. He told me that Kingston is not overstating the issue.

    He said this E.O. is proof that the executive branch is now owned lock, stock and barrel by the biomedical/pharmaceutical industry. It will be Katy bar the door from here on out.

    “The transhumanists within Big Pharma have completely taken over government policy and taxpayer funds to promote their own anti-human agenda of hacking the software of life,” Wood told me. “It also clearly demonstrates who has the power, and who sets the policies in America.”

    The mRNA injections that have already gone into the bodies of at least 70 percent of adults in the U.S. mark the gateway to transhumanism. We have been told this by Kingston as well as by the late Dr. Zev Zelenko and Dr. Robert Malone, a co-inventor of the mRNA platform.

    LeoHohmann.com was one of the first sites to blow the whistle on Moderna’s former chief medical officer, Tal Zaks, who told the world straight up in December 2017 that “We have hacked the software of life,” and that this mRNA gene-editing biotechnology would be incorporated into vaccines to treat and prevent all manner of illnesses. We’ve seen how well they work, with millions getting sick and even dying after getting two or more doses of the Covid injections offered up by Moderna and Pfizer. With the FDA and CDC now totally on board, this mRNA technology is being included in scores of other vaccines, including flu shots.

    The September 12 executive order was no doubt put in place as back up for the continued experimentation on the human population, and I expect the vaccine industry will exploit it to the max. Soon we will see the return of vax mandates, this time more ferociously policed and enforced than before.

    This E.O. may also have been timed at least partly in anticipation of the new pandemic treaty that the Biden administration is hoping to get passed through the United Nations World Health Organization next year. This treaty will transfer sovereignty over matters of “health emergencies” from the national level to the WHO.

    Wood said the E.O.’s intended consequences is to push the frontier of genetic modification of all living things and especially humans. He believes this will ultimately spark the biggest public backlash in modern history.

    “Biden pledges not only funding but an all-of-government transformation to support this anti-human scheme from top to bottom,” Wood writes. “It also automatically blocks any agency or department from dissent.”

    Below are just a few of the highlights quoted directly from the document:

    • The term “biotechnology” means technology that applies to or is enabled by life sciences innovation or product development.
    • The term “biomanufacturing” means the use of biological systems to develop products, tools, and processes at commercial scale.
    • The term “bioeconomy” means economic activity derived from the life sciences, particularly in the areas of biotechnology and biomanufacturing, and includes industries, products, services, and the workforce.
    • The term “biological data” means the information, including associated descriptors, derived from the structure, function, or process of a biological system(s) that is measured, collected, or aggregated for analysis.
    • The term “key R&D areas” includes fundamental R&D of emerging biotechnologies, including engineering biology; predictive engineering of complex biological systems, including the designing, building, testing, and modeling of entire living cells, cell components, or cellular systems; quantitative and theory-driven multi-disciplinary research to maximize convergence with other enabling technologies; and regulatory science, including the development of new information, criteria, tools, models, and approaches to inform and assist regulatory decision-making.  These R&D priorities should be coupled with advances in predictive modeling, data analytics, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, high-performance and other advanced computing systems, metrology and data-driven standards, and other non-life science enabling technologies.
    • The term “life sciences” means all sciences that study or use living organisms, viruses, or their products, including all disciplines of biology and all applications of the biological sciences (including biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and pharmaceutical and biomedical research and techniques), but excluding scientific studies associated with radioactive materials or toxic chemicals that are not of biological origin or synthetic analogues of toxins.

    What this means is that human beings will be data mined for their most personal possession, their DNA and genomic properties, and the government will offer no protection.

    It will actually be encouraged and seen as a green light for biomedical practitioners worldwide. It is the goal of the technocratic proprietors of Agenda 2030 to catalogue, map out, and monitor every living thing on earth.

    This was spelled out in the early 2000s by the late researcher Rosa Koire and put into book form in 2011 with “Behind the Green Mask: U.N. Agenda 21.” Koire was a Democrat, but she understood that the takedown of America and indeed every nation of the formerly free world, would not be accomplished by the left or the right but by supranational globalists with an allegiance to no nation. In fact, these globalists detest the nation-state model that has dominated the world for thousands of years. Their goal is a “global governance” and they say it out loud in their own documents.

    Have no fear.

    Do not be intimidated.

    Truth will not be defeated.

    Humanity will prevail against these anti-human eugenicist monsters because we have living souls and are created in the image of a Holy God with individual free wills.

    Because of that, we humans are capable of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the one and only triune God of the Bible. Those who take the bait of the globalists and submit to the world system will in essence be handing over their humanity in exchange for empty promises of safety and security. They will become transhumans, thus foregoing, at some point, their ability to connect with God. That’s a very big step and a decision that will face every human being sooner or later as this technology ramps up. Your very soul will depend on the choice you make. Will you follow God or will you follow man?

    Above all, this is a spiritual battle.

    Expose the sinister transhumanist agenda that these globalist predators did their best to keep hidden within a scientific vernacular that they know will wow and mystify the average person. We have decoded it for you in this article from two of the best Christian experts on the topic available in the world today – Karen Kingston and Patrick Wood.

  • Trump Legal Team Puts Dagger Through DOJ’s Political Charade: ‘This Is Going to Backfire – Badly – on Biden’

    Trump Legal Team Puts Dagger Through DOJ’s Political Charade: ‘This Is Going to Backfire – Badly – on Biden’

    September 13, 2022 at 06:50AM Trump Legal Team Puts Dagger Through DOJ’s Political Charade: ‘This Is Going to Backfire – Badly – on Biden’

    The unelected operatives at President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice don’t seem to like the idea of impartial oversight. During the unprecedented FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago clubhouse in Florida, the FBI secured a series of supposedly classified documents.

    Trump’s team claims the documents were declassified. Additionally, a motion filed by Trump’s attorneys on Aug. 22 argued that the DOJ could not be trusted, arguing that, because of this, an impartial “Special Master” needed to be appointed to look over the documents “to preserve the sanctity of executive communications and other privileged materials.”

    After Judge Aileen Cannon granted Trump’s request, authorizing the appointment of a special master, the DOJ filed for the motion to be “partially stayed,” arguing that the appointment of an impartial third party would cause “irreparable harm” to both the government and the public. Apparently, giving Trump a fair shake is harmful to the American people.

    The ridiculous implications of the DOJ’s argument weren’t lost on the Trump team.

    According to a countermotion filed by Trump’s team, such risks to the public and government are greatly exaggerated. In fact, the one party actually at risk of facing “irreparable harm” in this case is Trump himself if a special master is not appointed.

    If not reviewed by a neutral third party, potentially sensitive information could be used by the government to harm Trump, the motion claimed.

    “Irreparable injury could most certainly occur if the Government were permitted to improperly use the documents seized,” the motion read.

    But the real killing blow was delivered when Trump’s lawyers pointed out how the DOJ is misinterpreting the Presidential Records Act. In essence, Trump always had a right to hold onto the Mar-a-Lago documents Not only does this fact render the DOJ raid and subsequent investigation unnecessary, but it also suggests those moves were a huge abuse of power.

    No wonder they’re hoping to avoid facing a neutral third party.

    “The [Presidential Records Act] accords any President extraordinary discretion to categorize all his or her records as either Presidential or personal records, and established case law provides for very limited judicial oversight over such categorization. The PRA further contains no provision authorizing or allowing for any criminal enforcement,” Trump’s motion read.

    “What is clear regarding all of the seized materials is that they belong with either President Trump (as his personal property to be returned pursuant to Rule 41(g)) or with NARA, but not with the Department of Justice.”

    Multiple experts believe this latest motion completely eradicates the DOJ argument.

    According to The Federalist’s senior legal correspondent Margot Cleveland, since the records were likely all “Presidential or personal,” Trump committed no crime.

    “[T]here was no crime, so they had to create one,” Cleveland tweeted.

    Mike Davis, the former Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, agreed.

    “Trump clearly has the winning legal arguments. This is going to backfire–badly–on Biden,” Davis tweeted. “The Presidential Records Act is very clear, as Trump’s legal team points out: ‘[T]he Presidential records of a former President shall be available to such former President or the former President’s designated representative.’”

    “The Trump legal team puts the dagger through the heart of the Biden DOJ’s bogus, political charade. Bottom Line: President Trump had the absolute constitutional and statutory right to take and maintain all of his records at Mar-A-Lago, classified or declassified.

    Another hoax.”

  • Texas Woman Charged with Threatening to Kill Judge Who Allowed Special Master in Trump Raid Case

    Texas Woman Charged with Threatening to Kill Judge Who Allowed Special Master in Trump Raid Case

    September 12, 2022 at 04:34PM Texas Woman Charged with Threatening to Kill Judge Who Allowed Special Master in Trump Raid Case

    A Texas woman was arrested and charged with threatening to kill the federal judge presiding over Trump’s special master case.

    Judge Aileen Cannon granted President Trump’s request for a Special Master review of the material confiscated by the Biden DOJ during their raid on his home at Mar-a-Lago.

    Judge Cannon also ‘temporarily enjoins’ or forbid the Biden regime from ‘reviewing and using the seized materials’ pending the completion of the review.

    It appears Tiffani Shea Gish of Houston fell for the fake news being pumped out by the Washington Post, NY Times, CNN and other far-left outlets.

    On September 1, Gish left three threatening voicemails for Judge Aileen Cannon using the pseudonym “Evelyn Salt” – named after the fictional Russian agent played by Angelina Jolie in the action thriller “Salt.”

    Gish fell for the fake news stories claiming Trump stored highly classified records related to nuclear weapons at his Mar-a-Lago residence.

    Trump is “marked for assassination and so are you,” Gish said in one of her threatening messages, according to CNBC.

    According to CNBC, Magistrate Judge Peter Bray last week ordered Gish detained pending trial saying she “appears to suffer from severe mental impairments with symptoms including paranoia and delusions.”

    CNBC News reported:

    A Texas woman has been charged with threatening to kill the federal judge presiding over a dispute between former President Donald Trump and the Department of Justice about records seized in an FBI raid of Trump’s home last month.

    An FBI special agent said Tiffani Shea Gish of Houston left three threatening voicemails for the chamber telephone of Judge Aileen Cannon of U.S. District Court in southern Florida, according to a criminal complaint filed Sept. 6.

    Identifying herself as the fictional Russian agent Evelyn Salt, Gish claimed to be “in charge of nuclear” for the government, a federal agent and “Trump’s hitman” who had a “license to kill,” according to transcribed excerpts of the calls included in the complaint.

    Gish’s pseudonym is the same name as the protagonist played by Angelina Jolie in the 2010 action film Salt.

    Trump is “marked for assassination and so are you,” Gish said in the expletive-filled messages, the complaint showed. “You’re full of s—, and I’m going to f—— have you shot myself. I’ve already ordered snipers and a bomb to your f—— house,” Gish allegedly said in the voicemails, all of which were made on Sept. 1.

    When agents came to her residence on Sept. 4, Gish would initially only speak through a balcony window, but eventually invited the agents in and spoke with them for about 45 minutes, the complaint said. Gish in that interview said she left the voicemails from her cellphone, and also confirmed that a Facebook account with posts echoing the language of the voicemails belonged to her, according to the complaint.

    To accept a bigger picture is often to accept the foundation of what is present is not what it appears.

    Recently a Florida judge dismissed the lawsuit brought by President Trump against Hillary Clinton. [65-page Ruling Here]  The media have enjoyed ridiculing Trump by using the words of the judge who dismissed the case.  As noted by the Washington Times, “Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks, a Clinton appointee, said Mr. Trump’s filing was too lengthy, detailing events that “are implausible because they lack any specific allegations which might provide factual support for the conclusions reached.”

    Pay attention to the framework underpinning Middlebooks’ opinion.  I have been reluctant to write about the decision to dismiss the lawsuit of President Trump against a multitude of conspirators, including Hillary Clinton, for two reasons.

    First, because when I originally read the 108-page lawsuit filed in March, it took me a few moments, and then I realized this was not a lawsuit; this was a legal transfer mechanism created by lawyers to establish a proprietary information silo.  Second, because I do not want another ridiculous subpoena from DC simply because they can’t fathom how any outside entity could solve a puzzle without insider assistance.  As to the former, I have prayed on it and come to the opinion it’s worth sharing. As to the latter, it’s just another waste of taxpayer funds, but whatever – the truth has no agenda.

    So, here’s a totally different take on the issues surrounding the Trump -v- Clinton lawsuit, which -from the outset- I always believed was going to be dismissed because suing all of those characters under the auspices of a civil RICO case was never the objective.  However, in the aftermath, the silo created by the lawsuit is also grounded upon attorney-client privilege, a legal countermeasure to a predictable DOJ-NSD lawfare maneuver, which unfolded in the Mar-a-Lago raid and ongoing issues.

    In March 2022 President Trump filed a civil lawsuit against: Hillary Clinton, Hillary for America Campaign Committee, DNC, DNC Services Corp, Perkins Coie, Michael Sussmann, Marc Elias, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Charles Dolan, Jake Sullivan, John Podesta, Robby Mook, Phillipe Reines as well as Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, Peter Fritsch, Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr, Orbis Business Intelligence, Christopher Steele, Igor Danchenko, Neustar Inc., Rodney Joffe, James Comey Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith and Andrew McCabe. [108-Page Lawsuit Here]

    When I was about one-third of the way through reading the lawsuit, I initially stopped and said to myself this is going to take a lot of documentary evidence to back up the claims in the assertions.  Dozens of attachments would be needed and hundreds of citations to the dozens of attachments would be mandatory.  Except, they were not there.

    After reading further, while completely understanding the background material that was being described in the filing, I realized this wasn’t a lawsuit per se’.  The 108-pages I was holding in my hands was more akin to legal transfer mechanism from President Trump to lawyers who needed it.  The filing was contingent upon a series of documents that would be needed to support the claims within it.

    Whoever wrote the lawsuit had obviously reviewed the evidence to support the filing.  However, the attachments and citations were missing. That was weird.  That’s when I realized the purpose of the lawsuit.  In hindsight, things became clear when the DOJ-NSD raided the home of Donald Trump, and suddenly the motive to confiscate the documents that would be the missing lawsuit attachments and citations surfaced.

    With the manipulative, and I say intentional, “ongoing investigation” angle of the John Durham probe essentially blocking public release of declassified documents showing the efforts of all the lawsuit participants (Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax), President Trump needed a legal way to secure and more importantly share the evidence.

    Think of it like the people around Trump wanting to show lawyers the evidence in the documents.  However, because of the construct of the lawfare being deployed against Trump, any lawyer would need a *reason* to review the evidence.   The Trump -v- Clinton et al lawsuit becomes that ‘reason.’

    The “documents” (classified or not) are reviewed by lawyers in preparation for the lawsuit.  This is their legal justification for reviewing the documents.  In essence, the lawsuit is a transfer mechanism permitting the Trump legal team to review the evidence on behalf of their client, former President Donald Trump.

    Once the formation of the lawsuit is established, the retainer and acceptance of the lawyers to represent their client cemented, the legal counsel, discussion and information within legal duties/obligations of those who represent the plaintiff (Trump) becomes an information silo.  In addition to previous executive privilege established by President Trump himself; outside government there is now another silo to defend against the motives of the Lawfare crew (DOJ), the attorney-client privilege.

    The lawsuit itself is the transfer mechanism permitting sharing of the documents and providing legal cover for the reviewers (lawyers).  The details within the 108-page filing constitute the claims of the plaintiff in the lawsuit, which were established by the evidentiary documents later seized by the DOJ and FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.

    “Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks, a Clinton appointee, said Mr. Trump’s filing was too lengthy, detailing events that “are implausible because they lack any specific allegations which might provide factual support for the conclusions reached.”

    There were no attachments and/or citations to the documentary evidence in the 108-page filing, because there was a legal risk to citing evidence with a status in dispute by the corrupt people in Main Justice and the FBI.  Secondarily, there was an obstruction risk to the President, if his legal team was to publish citations that were part of an ongoing investigation (Durham).   However, this doesn’t negate the value of constructing the information silo, an attorney-client privilege.

    If the documents seized by the FBI were part of the lawsuit established by President Trump and his legal team via Trump -v- Clinton, then the material seized is all attorney client work product.  Lawfully obtained, constitutionally declassified and legally protected material.

    This is where the ‘special master’ will play a key role.

    Keep watching.

  • POC Former Trump lawyer thinks the ex-president risks being disqualified from office over his handling of January 6 riot

    September 10, 2022 at 08:37AM Former Trump lawyer thinks the ex-president risks being disqualified from office over his handling of January 6 riot

    • Ex-Trump lawyer Ty Cobb suggested Trump could be disqualified from office in a CBS interview.
    • Cobb said Trump could be barred from future office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
    • The provision bars those who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from public office.

    Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb said former President Donald Trump risks not just prosecution, but disqualification from office under the 14th Amendment over the January riots in an interview on CBS News’ Major Garrett podcast.

    Cobb, who served as a White House counsel representing Trump in 2017 and 2018, said Congress could easily bar Trump from holding office again under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. The once-obscure post-Civil War provision states that no one who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against a government body or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” should serve in public office.

    “There’s a simple way to disqualify President Trump,” Cobb told Garrett. “He clearly violated the 14th Amendment of the Constitution’s Article III when he gave aid and comfort, and three hours of inaction, with regard to what was happening on the grounds of the Capitol, and sent out the equivocal tweet about Pence suggesting Pence had failed. That clearly gave aid and comfort to the insurrectionists.”

    “It was popular early on, but the fact that it’s been delayed and delayed when we could easily modify the conversation by disqualifying him now, whether he gets prosecuted or not, I find sad,” Cobb added, suggesting Congress could do so in the lame-duck session after the 2022 midterms.

    Lawsuits are another avenue to disqualify officials for insurrection under the Constitution. A judge in New Mexico removed a local county commissioner, Couy Griffin, from his post over his participation in the January 6 insurrection, making him the first public official in over 100 years to be disqualified from his office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

    Griffin, a Cowboys for Trump founder who was convicted of misdemeanor trespassing for breaching the Capitol on January 6, gained national attention for refusing to certify the results of the June 2022 primary election in his capacity as county commissioner in Otero County.

    Democratic activists and lawyers have also unsuccessfully attempted to disqualify some Republican members of Congress from running for reelection under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

    A judge earlier this year rejected a bid by Georgia voters to disqualify Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from the ballot, finding insufficient evidence that she was an insurrectionist and participated in the riots.

    In a similar effort targeting Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina, a judge initially ruled in favor of Cawthorn in March. On appeal, a panel of Fourth Circuit of Appeals found that Cawthorn is not immune from challenges to his eligibility — but nly after Cawthorn had already lost his primary election in May.

    Democratic lawyers and members of Congress, including those on the January 6 committee, are strategizing on both legislation and state-by-state lawsuits to bar Trump from holding office again under the 14th Amendment, The New York Times recently reported.

    Cobb previously told Insider’s Sonam Sheth he believes the sprawling federal probe into the January 6 insurrection and Trump’s activity leading up to and during the siege of the Capitol poses a far larger threat to Trump than the recent search at Mar-a-Lago.

    “I think the president is in serious legal water not so much because of the search, but because of the obstructive activity he took in connection with the January 6 proceeding and the attempts to interfere in the election count,” Cobb echoed to CBS.

    Cobb told CBS that he doesn’t believe it’s “wise” to prosecute the former president for a “process crime,” but thinks the chances of Trump being indicted in connection with the January 6-related investigations are “very high.”

    “That was the first time in American history that a president, unconstitutionally, attempted to remain in power illegally,” Cobb said.
