J6 Prosecutor Matthew Graves Resigns Abruptly.

Sources claim Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, has resigned. Graves, who Joe Biden appointed in November 2021, is responsible for prosecuting hundreds of January 6 Capitol riot defendants.

Graves had refused to pause prosecutions against January 6 defendants ahead of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration on January 20. He also bragged about the scale of the Biden-Harris Department of Justice’s (DOJ) legal actions against the protesters in May, declaring, “More than 1,424 individuals have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol.” The federal prosecutor also indicated that investigations into the Capitol incident were ongoing, with plans to possibly increase the number of defendants to over 2,000 before the statute of limitations runs out.

Graves is known for his aggressive approach, targeting not only those who entered the Capitol but also individuals who were merely in the vicinity on January 6. He threatened that “thousands” of protestors who remained outside the Capitol were liable for prosecution and that whether or not they would be charged was a matter of “prosecutorial discretion.”

However, the Supreme Court has ruled that prosecutors overstepped their authority in their zeal to convict January 6 protestors. For instance, charges of obstructing an official proceeding—intended to target white-collar criminals such as those who destroyed documents to thwart investigations into the Enron scandal—were used against many January 6 defendants because their protest delayed the certification of the 2020 election. Justices ruled this abused the relevant statute and threw the charges out.

Graves’s resignation may mark a significant turning point in the legal aftermath of the January 6 Capitol breach. President-elect Donald J. Trump has indicated he intends to pardon many protestors once he takes office.

WATCH: Bannon, Kassam Issue ‘Tech Feudalism’ Warning.

WarRoom hosted a powerful discussion centered on the state of American democracy, the rising threat of “tech feudalism,” and the challenges faced by American workers in the era of mass immigration and corporate elitism on Monday, December 30, 2024. The show focused on the dangerous push towards establishing a new ruling class, driven by tech oligarchs and corporate interests, which threatens to dismantle the traditional American way of life.

Host Stephen K. Bannon was joined by several prominent guests, including Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, who contributed deep insights into the ongoing shift in power dynamics in America. The guests discussed the growing influence of figures like Elon Musk, who, according to Kassam, is championing a form of governance that rejects traditional American principles.

Kassam referred to this movement as “tech feudalism,” in which a small elite class controls the political and economic systems, leaving ordinary American workers at the mercy of these powerful entities. Kassam argued that this is a clear deviation from the founders’ vision for a republic based on representative government.

H-1B DEBATE.

The show also delved into the controversial H-1B visa program. Bannon and his guests discussed how the visa program undermines American workers by allowing foreign labor to take jobs that could be filled by U.S. citizens. They argued that the influx of foreign workers, especially in the tech industry, depresses wages and pushes hardworking Americans out of meaningful employment opportunities.

The guests emphasized that this issue is not just about illegal immigration but about the broader systemic forces working against the American worker, fueled by the elites who benefit from cheap labor.

Bannon and his guests called for action, urging Americans to wake up to the threats posed by these powerful forces and demand accountability from tech giants and government officials. They stressed the importance of defending American sovereignty and preserving the country’s democratic ideals.

WarRoom airs Monday through Saturday on Real America’s Voice and other carriers. Its live broadcasts are from 10 AM to 12 PM Eastern, 5-6 PM Eastern, and 6-7 PM on Frank Speech.

Top Corporate Reporter Admits Media FAILED in Covering Biden’s Cognitive Decline.

CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford admits that the corporate media failed to adequately cover the cognitive decline of 82-year-old President Joe Biden. On Sunday’s Face the Nation, Crawford revealed that the national media, including CBS, avoided questioning whether Biden was fit to serve another four years in office prior to his disastrous June debate with President-elect Donald J. Trump.

“Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” Crawford said after the Face the Nation panel was asked which stories flew under the radar in 2024. The chief legal correspondent continued: “It is starting to emerge now that his advisors kind of managed his limitations.”

“We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats,” Crawford concluded, noting that Biden’s continued insistence that he should have run and would have won is either delusional on his part or his advisors are continuing to gaslight the country.

The National Pulse extensively reported on Biden’s cognitive health and the White House’s refusal to submit the octagenarian Democrat to a cognitive exam. Notably, three key White House aids are allegedly responsible for “managing” Biden and hiding his deteriorating health from the American public: First Lady Jill Biden‘s top aide Anthony Bernal, deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini, and senior adviser Ashley Williams.

Bernal, Tomasini, and Williams formed a “protective bubble” around Biden, shielding the 82-year-old president from his own cabinet officials during periods of suspected incapacitation. Additional allegations point to First Lady Jill Biden often directing and managing her husband during public events.

Appeals Court Upholds Sham E. Jean Carroll Verdict Against Trump.

A federal appeals court has upheld a jury’s decision that President-elect Donald J. Trump sexually abused writer and alleged fabulist E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s. The Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Trump’s attempt to overturn last year’s highly dubious verdict, stating that he did not prove any error in the district court’s rulings.

“Trump has not demonstrated that the district court erred in any of the challenged rulings,” the judicial panel wrote, adding the President-elect “…has not carried his burden to show that any claimed error or combination of claimed errors affected his substantial rights as required to warrant a new trial.”

The original jury found Trump liable for abusing Carroll in a Manhattan department store dressing room but not liable for rape. It also found him liable for making defamatory statements about the writer in 2022. Carroll was awarded $5 million in damages. In a second civil trial, Trump was ordered to pay Carroll $83 million, a decision that Trump is currently appealing.

Trump’s lawyers argue that District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan made errors by allowing testimonies from Jessica Leeds and Natasha Stoynoff, who alleged that Trump also assaulted them. Trump denies these allegations. His lawyers further contend that Kaplan was wrong to admit portions of the Access Hollywood tape in which Trump joked with Billy Bush about celebrities and women as evidence, as it merely served to denigrate his character.

However, the appellate court affirmed that the tape was admissible as evidence suggesting a supposed pattern of behavior. The court’s opinion stated that the jury could reasonably conclude from Trump’s recorded comments that he had previously acted without obtaining consent.

Carroll claimed her lawsuit was brought independently but later admitted she had received funding from Democrat megadonor and Epstein Island guest Reid Hoffman.

Trump Backs Embattled Speaker Mike Johnson.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has expressed support for Speaker Mike Johnson remaining in post, potentially bolstering his chances of retaining the House gavel. Johnson, from Louisiana, faces a difficult path in the next Congress, with opposition emerging from GOP figures such as Rep. Thomas Massie, who has vowed to vote against him. Rep. Victoria Spartz also withheld direct support during a recent media appearance, voicing criticism of the party’s leadership.

“Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!!!” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Monday as part of a longer statement blasting “professional con man and instigator” Al Sharpton, Oprah Winfrey, and others.

Trump urged Republicans to capitalize on their current momentum, noting how he carried “ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, 312 ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES, AND THE POPULAR VOTE BY MILLIONS OF VOTERS… Despite large scale voter fraud taking place in numerous states, including California, where votes are ridiculously still being counted, or under review!”

The America First leader appeared to signal that his endorsement of Johnson is at least partly a matter of pragmatism, noting, “The American people need IMMEDIATE relief from all of the destructive policies of the last Administration,” and that the incumbent speaker “is a good, hard working, religious man.”

Trump has repeatedly indicated that he wants his next administration to hit the ground running rather than bog down in fights over appointments and other senior roles.

Leftist ACLU Partners With Libertarians In Opposing TikTok Ban.

As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear TikTok’s appeal against a ban that will go into effect on January 19, Democrat and libertarian lawmakers and civil liberties organizations, including the leftist American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), have filed amicus briefs backing the platform, owned by China’s ByteDance.

Sens. Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rand Paul (R-KY), alongside Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), want an emergency injunction against the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which requires ByteDance to divest from TikTok if it is to continue operating in the U.S.

The lawmakers insist a ban would infringe on the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans. They claim the federal government’s goal of preventing content manipulation by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which has strong ties to ByteDance, can be addressed through less stringent regulations.

The ACLU, the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), and the Freedom of the Press Foundation have also filed a brief alleging there is insufficient evidence that TikTok threatens “ongoing or imminent harm.”

“This social media platform has allowed people around the world to tell their own stories in key moments of social upheaval, war, and natural disaster while reaching immense global audiences,” argues ACLU National Security Project Deputy Director Patrick Toomey, calling the divestment demand “extraordinary and unprecedented.”

TRUMP’S STANCE.

Lawyers representing President-elect Donald J. Trump, while taking “no position on the underlying merits of this dispute,” are also requesting the high court pause the ban, to afford the incoming administration “the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case.”

Trump found success on TikTok during the presidential race and has a “warm spot” for the platform.

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act was upheld by a federal appeals court earlier this month, prompting the appeal to the Supreme Court.

Kari Lake Says She Won’t Run for Office Again.

America First stalwart Kari Lake says she will not run in Arizona’s 2026 gubernatorial election, having previously run for the governorship and a Senate seat in two closely fought and contentious races marred by allegations of Democrat election rigging. Lake, who has been vocal about her belief that a “corrupt machine” in Arizona worked against her, announced her decision on X.

“I will never take for granted the movement we have in Arizona,” Lake stated. “But there is a corrupt machine here that is hellbent on making sure I never hold office. So, I won’t put my family (and myself) through the torture of running again,” she explained.

Lake says she is instead focused on helping President-elect Donald J. Trump’s incoming administration in Washington, D.C. The MAGA kingpin has tapped her to lead Voice of America (VOA), the U.S. government-funded global news service, to “ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media.”

Lake expressed her intention to “return [Voice of America] to its glory days, and help President Trump Make America Great Again.”

VOA was established as the United States Foreign Information Service during the Second World War by the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Dogged by allegations of anti-Trump bias, the government-funded broadcaster is reported as “highly concerned” about being overseen by a supporter of the America First leader.

DATA: H1-B Visa ‘Caps’ Exceeded, 99.9% Approval Rate, Chain Migration Increasing.

Data analysis by The National Pulse has revealed that industries and companies relying on cheap, foreign labor supplied by the H1-B visa program have grossly undercounted the number of visa holders admitted to the United States each year and its impact on the wages of native-born Americans.

Those supporting cheap, foreign labor visas insist the United States abides by the statutory cap of 65,000 H1-B visas awarded through a lottery system each year—and an additional 20,000 visas reserved for immigrants with advanced secondary degrees created through the 2004 Omnibus. That means, statutorily, 85,000 H1-B visas can theoretically be granted to foreign workers each year. However, according to the U.S. federal government’s mandated reports to Congress, this number is significantly higher.

YOUNG, CHEAP, & TOO MANY. 

According to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services’s (USCIS) FY 2023 report to Congress—currently the most recent public data—the number of H1-B’s filed in the fiscal year was 386,318. These are the total number of visas approved by the federal government. The USCIS report indicates that about one-third of the visas issued in FY 2023 were new—indicating the statutory cap of 85,000 was exceeded, with potentially over 100,000 new H1-Bs being granted. Specific nonprofits and government contractors working in areas deemed critical to American interests can attain unlimited H1-Bs, which is how the newly issued visas in FY 2023 exceeded the statutory cap.

The USCIS report also reveals that only 75,843 H1-B visa workers filed a change of employer petition, suggesting that over 80 percent are essentially handcuffed to their corporate employer. This is significant as it adds credence to critics’ claim that the visa partially suppresses wages by removing negotiating leverage from foreign workers to increase their salary through other job offers.

The average age of an H1-B worker is just 33. Over a third of accepted H1-B visa workers only hold a bachelor’s degree. Only 22 percent held a master’s degree, while just eight percent had a PhD.

The median income of an H1-B worker was $118,000 in FY 2023. According to the Silicon Valley Index, in 2024, the average compensation of workers in Big Tech was around $189,000.

NOT REALLY NEEDED? 

The number of H1-Bs in the United States decreased between FY 2022 and 2023. The report states that 442,043 visas were approved in FY 2022, while 386,318 were approved in FY 2023. This is a 13 percent decrease.

The USCIS data suggests that 99.9 percent of H1-B visa applications were approved in FY 2023.

The report states that 386,559 new or continuing visa applications were filed, and 386,318 were approved. Given the numerous U.S. Department of Justice prosecutions against companies like Cognizant, Infosys, and other H1-B “mills” that essentially outsource American jobs to foreign contractors, the near-100 percent approval rate is worthy of immediate attention.

CHAIN MIGRATION. 

Many approved H1-B workers aren’t coming to the United States by themselves. According to USCIS data, over 55,000 nonimmigrant visa holders—students, tourists, and others–applied for a change in their nonimmigration status in FY 2023. USCIS notes these are primarily spouses or children of H1-B workers.

It is believed that around 200,000 or more family members have accompanied H1-B visa holders to the United States overall. While in theory, the H1-B is not intended to be a dual-track visa program, allowing the holders to attain green card status and a pathway to citizenship eventually, it has increasingly become such a scheme.

In essence, the H1-B has not just become a source of cheap labor but one of several U.S. visa programs that—through abuse and manipulation—serve as a pipeline for mass immigration into America.

You’re Sending Another $1.25Bn to Ukraine, By The Way.

The Biden government is set to announce a $1.25 billion military aid package for Ukraine, according to U.S. officials. The announcement is expected on Monday as the Biden regime aims to blow more cash on a losing war before the transition of power on January 20. The aid package is expected to include munitions for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, the HAWK air defense system, Stinger missiles, and artillery rounds.

This fresh funding comes amid new Russian assaults on Ukraine’s power infrastructure. Despite recent missile and drone attacks, Ukrainian forces reported successful interception efforts. Meanwhile, intense combat continues near the Russian border region of Kursk.

The aid package uses the presidential drawdown authority, enabling another swift transfer of weapons to Ukraine. With the new package, approximately $4.35 billion remains in the Pentagon’s allocation for Ukraine, which previously Congress approved.

Additionally, there is $1.2 billion in funding under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, intended for longer-term weapons contracts. The current regime plans to release these funds by year-end. If completed, total U.S. security assistance to Ukraine would exceed $64 billion since the onset of the conflict in February 2022.
