DOJ Refuses to Say How Many Feds Were at Jan 6 Until AFTER the Election.

Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz has confirmed the number of federal assets present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, will likely not be disclosed until after the November election. At a Congressional hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) told Horowitz he has been “continuously stonewalled” by Attorney General Merrick Garland and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray on the number of “federal assets, such as confidential human sources” at the riot for three years. However, the DOJ Inspector General was no more forthcoming.

“Do you have evidence of the number of confidential human sources that were operating on the Capitol grounds on January 6?” Massie asked, with Horowitz responding that the information would be included in his long-delayed report on January 6, commissioned just days after it occurred.

“Were there more than a hundred?” Massie pressed, but Horowitz insisted: “I’m not in a position to say that, both because [the report] is in draft form, and we have not gone through the classification review, and so I need to be careful.”

He told Massie he doubts the report will “be done in time for the election,” leaving voters in the dark about the situation when they head to the polls.

Former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund has previously said there was “a fair amount of law enforcement in the crowd” on January 6, including Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) operatives.

America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, Disbarred in Washington, D.C.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is being disbarred in Washington, D.C., following a year-long legal battle after his membership with the city’s bar association was suspended. Giuliani’s disbarment stems from his involvement in efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election results due to evidence and allegations of voter fraud.

The former New York City Mayor—who heroically led the city through the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks—and ally of President Donald J. Trump has been one of the top targets of Democrat-run lawfare campaigns. Since the 2020 election, Democrats at various levels of government have used lawfare to pursue allies of Trump, including Giuliani, former Acting Attorney General Jeff Clark, White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, and Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro.

Giuliani’s disbarment order for Washington, D.C., comes after the New York State Bar Association moved to block his right to practice law in the state earlier this year. Additionally, the Washington, D.C. decision is retroactive, with any legal matters represented by Giuliani dating to August 9, 2021, now in jeopardy.

The move by the Washington, D.C. appellate court comes over a year after Giuliani was arrested in Fulton County, Georgia, after being accused of interfering in the 2020 presidential elections in the state. Since his initial arrest, Giuliani has faced a litany of challenges, including being ordered to pay two Georgia election workers an astounding $148 million after a federal judge ruled that he had defamed them regarding alleged ballot fraud.

Republican establishment billionaire John Catsimatidis canceled Giuliani’s radio show in May after stating the mayor had broken an agreement not to discuss 2020 election fraud on air.

Liberal Neocon Ex-Govt Minister To Head UK’s Oldest ‘Conservative’ Magazine.

A former UK Conservative minister who backed the Brexit referendum but has traditionally held socially liberal views and supported neoconservative foreign policy will be taking the helm of Britain’s oldest magazine, The Spectator. Michael Gove has been named the magazine’s new editor following its recent acquisition by Sir Paul Marshall, co-owner of broadcaster GB News.

Gove, while always a member of the Conservative Party, has expressed many liberal opinions on social issues, including gay marriage, saying religious bodies should be able to conduct same-sex weddings in 2012. The former minister is also a staunch neoconservative on foreign policy, loudly supporting the Iraq war as late as 2008 and also backing air strikes against Syria in 2013.

Before transitioning to a political career, Gove worked as a journalist for 17 years in print and broadcast media. Throughout his political tenure, he has frequently contributed to The Spectator, writing extensively on politics and current affairs.

The acquisition follows the government’s previous decision to block an Abu Dhabi-backed fund’s proposed takeover of the magazine. Alongside The Spectator, Telegraph Media Group is also on the market, with Marshall reportedly interested in bidding.

Former editor Fraser Nelson will transition to the role of Associate Editor while continuing to contribute to the magazine. Nelson has noted his approval of Gove’s hiring to helm the publication.

Meanwhile, former Spectator Chairman Andrew Neil admitted the magazine was pro-immigration and “pro-amnesty” for illegals in 2020. He left the magazine earlier this month following the magazine’s acquisition by Sir Paul Marshall.

Wave of Arson Hits 9 Churches in Just 3 Weeks.

Nine churches were the targets of arson attacks over a span of three weeks from late August to mid-September in Europe, according to the Observatory of Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe. Three of the incidents, targeting Catholic places of worship, occurred in the Netherlands.

The sequence of recent arson began on August 25 in Bad Wörishofen, Germany. In that instance, both the church and its altar cloth were set ablaze, resulting in damage valued at several thousand euros, as mentioned in the statement.

Another notable incident occurred on September 2 at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Saint-Omer, France. A suspect linked to this fire, with extreme left links and a history of sharing anti-Christian and pro-Islamic State content on social media. They have reportedly made previous attempts to set fire to 15 churches.

The most recent attack took place on September 15 at St. Anthony the Abbot Church in Wijchen, in the Netherlands. Here, attackers destroyed statues and set personal and devotional objects on fire.

Alongside these events in Europe, the United States has also seen a rise in vandalism and attacks on Catholic churches. Since May 2020, there have been 452 such incidents, with 57 reported this year alone on the CatholicVoteviolence tracker.

The Biden-Harris FBI has targeted traditional Catholics as extremists despite Joe Biden’s claims to be a Catholic. Vice President Kamala Harris is less concerned about keeping up appearances and is snubbing Catholics by skipping the annual Al Smith Dinner.

BREAKING: NYC Mayor Eric Adams Indicted in Federal Corruption Probe.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted in the Southern District of New York as part of an expansive federal corruption investigation into numerous city officials and public figures. The indictment remains under seal for the moment.

The National Pulse reported earlier this month that one of Adams’s top allies, NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban, had his residence raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Caban resigned following the raid. Last Friday, federal law enforcement raided his successor, interim NYPD Commissioner Thomas Donlon.

In recent months, New York City government officials close to Adams have been under increasing federal scrutiny regarding accusations of corruption, bribery, and illegal campaign contributions. Late last year, several Adams allies were indicted over a straw donor scheme to illegally funnel campaign funds to Adams during his mayoral run. At least one of these individuals has pleaded guilty to the charges.

In a statement, Mayor Adams said: “I always knew that If I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target—and a target I became. If I am charged, I am innocent and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”

In addition to government employees and elected officials, a Brooklyn Catholic priest has also been subpoenaed by federal law enforcement over suspected involvement with allies Adams. However, the specifics of the priest’s role are currently unclear.

Congress is Investigating ANOTHER Chinese Company Over Data Security and Labor Practices.

Members of the House Intelligence Committee have formally requested the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide a briefing regarding data concerns associated with Chinese-owned company Temu. The briefing request specifically relates to the company’s relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and U.S. national security concerns.

According to the Intelligence Committee letter, addressed to FBI Director Christopher Wray and SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, the lawmakers want to review allegations that Temu relies on slave labor and unfair trade practices and shares user data with CCP and Chinese military intelligence. The lawmakers referenced prior concerns that various entities, including U.S. Senators, the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, states’ Attorneys General, and others, had raised about Temu and its parent company, PDD Holdings.

Temu is a major online e-commerce company where consumers can purchase clothing and other goods at extremely cheap prices and have them shipped directly from China. The website maintains a large ad presence on Facebook and Instagram.

The committee members have urged the FBI and the SEC to provide detailed insights and updates on their investigations into Temu’s activities. They stress the importance of understanding the scope and depth of any data and security risks posed by the company.

This move by the House Intelligence Committee reflects heightened concerns about the influence and reach of Chinese companies with purported close ties to the Chinese Communist state. Earlier this year, Congress moved to ban the TikTok app unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells the social media video platform to a non-Chinese-controlled entity. Currently, ByteDance is suing the U.S. government over the forced TikTok sale, though a court ruling on the matter has yet to be made.

‘Pathetic’ Kamala Grants PRE-RECORDED Interview to MSNBC Host Known for Defending Her Press Evasion.

Vice President Kamala Harris will participate in her first major one-on-one interview since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate in a pre-recorded session with MSNBC‘s Stephanie Ruhle on Wednesday night. The decision to forgo a live interview drew widespread criticism and allegations that Harris is dodging serious scrutiny, particularly as Ruhle has previously endorsed her and defended her decision to avoid the media.

“This is legitimately pathetic for a person who wants to be president,” said former President Donald J. Trump‘s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance. “Ruhle has explicitly endorsed Harris. She won’t ask hard [questions],” he added.

Ruhle recently appeared on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher alongside New York Times columnist Bret Stephens. “I don’t think it’s a lot to ask her to sit down for a real interview,” Stephens argued. Ruhle, however, scoffed, “I would just say to that, when you move to Nirvana, give me your real estate broker’s number and I’ll be your next door neighbor.”

“Kamala Harris isn’t running for perfect. She’s running against Trump. We have two choices,” she said, denouncing Trump as a “threat to democracy.”

Trump, for his part, responded to Ruhle’s comments about him on Real Time by branding her a “dumb as a rock bimbo.”

A Gangbanger vs Migrant Gang War is Looming in Chicago.

Chicago residents warn escalating tensions and violence between local gangs and newly arrived Venezuelan migrants, alleged to be members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang, are going to trigger an uncontrollable turf war. “When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or non-citizens, the city of Chicago is going to go up in flames, and there will be nothing the National Guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets. It’ll be blacks against migrants,” according to Tyrone Muhammed, a former gangbanger.

Reporters have seen “police reports indicating sex trafficking, child porn, drugs, carjackings, weapons, and excessive spousal violence have occurred at four downtown shelters” in the sanctuary city. In one higher profile incident earlier this month, police responded at an apartment building where 32 Venezuelans were reportedly brandishing weapons.

Since 2022, approximately 48,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago, with a substantial number originating from Venezuela. The provision of welfare benefits to these new arrivals has intensified tensions, as some locals believe these resources should support existing community members.

The displacement of long-term residents by migrants has become a concern in Chicago and other areas like Springfield, Ohio. In Springfield, migrants, often supported by taxpayer funds, sometimes pay rents that local residents cannot afford.

Hollywood, Corporate Media Experiencing HUGE Layoffs.

Streaming, artificial intelligence, and ongoing strikes in Hollywood are decimating the media and film industry. Hundreds of journalists have already been laid off this year by corporate media companies. Significant cuts were seen at the Los Angeles Times, which reduced its newsroom staff by more than 20 percent in January.

Time magazine followed, laying off 15 percent of its workforce. Numerous other media entities have also witnessed significant staff reductions. Over the last twelve months, an estimated 500 journalist positions have been eliminated.

CNN revealed a 2.9 percent staff reduction, including that of media critic Brian Lowry as the network has struggled with low ratings. Media Matters for America, the hyper-partisan Democrat talking point outlet, also announced major layoffs, blaming them on a lawsuit from tech billionaire Elon Musk. The technology billionaire sued the George Soros-funded outlet for misrepresenting information to advertisers in a bid to scare them away from doing business with X after he had purchased the company.

Earlier this year, Vice Media CEO Bruce Dixon announced hundreds of employees would be laid off and cease publishing on Vice.com, ending the legacy of a company that was once worth $5.7 billion. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Discovery has experienced multiple rounds of layoffs since its merger, with the latest occurring in May when over 300 jobs were cut following the closure of Newshub in New Zealand.

Paramount Global also announced layoffs, targeting a 3 percent reduction in its global workforce. In August, Paramount laid off 15 percent of its U.S. staff and shuttered Paramount Television Studios. Disney Entertainment announced 140 layoffs, affecting departments such as National Geographic. Fox Entertainment cut 30 positions in July, impacting various divisions.

Yet ANOTHER Illegal Migrant Driver Kills an American.

An illegal immigrant driving without a valid license has been arrested for the murder of a 23-year-old musician in Pittsburg after his vehicle collided with the victim’s car at a stoplight. Allegheny County authorities announced they have apprehended and charged 25-year-old Saul Rivera-Ramirez in connection with the death of Christian Sluka. The incident occurred on Saturday in the Dormont suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

According to the police report, on the evening of September 21, 2024, Sluka was stationary at a red light when his vehicle was allegedly struck by Rivera-Ramirez, who was purportedly driving a Ford Taurus without authorization. Sluka succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident.

Rivera-Ramirez faces multiple charges, including vehicular homicide and driving without a license. Police confirmed that Rivera-Ramirez is not a U.S. citizen and lacks legal documentation to reside in the country but did not disclose his country of origin. Instead, police deferred further inquiries regarding his immigration status to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE).

The killing is just the latest by an illegal or asylum seeker driving without a valid license. It comes just months after a Haitian migrant in Springfield, Ohio, killed a young boy after ramming into a local school bus. Nathan Clark, the father of the victim, later stated that he wished the killer had been a white man so that conservatives would not talk about the case.

“I bet you never thought anyone would ever say something so blunt. But if that guy killed my 11-year-old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would leave us alone,” he said.
