Judge Releases Illegals Who Rioted, Attacked National Guard.

Upwards of several hundred illegal immigrants involved in the March 21 border riot that overwhelmed Texas National Guard soldiers were released by order of a Texas state judge on Sunday. Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta issued the ruling after the El Paso District Attorney’s Office was not prepared to proceed with detention hearings.

“So if the DA’s office is telling me that they are not ready to go, what we’re going to do is we’re going to release all these individuals on their own recognizance,” Judge Acosta said in response to a motion by Assistant District Attorney Ashley M. Martinez for a continuance. Texas state law requires that any illegal immigrant arrested without a warrant is entitled to a hearing before a magistrate judge within 48 hours of his detention. As part of his order, Acosta set a personal recognizance bond for each of the illegal immigrants to be released.

The Texas Department of Public Safety had earlier made arrests in connection to the March 21 riot, consisting primarily of asylum-seeking Venezuelan men. Some of the rioters face charges of public servant assault after attacking National Guard troops during the riot.

Video captured of the riot shows several hundred illegal immigrants charging toward the razor-wire barrier erected by the State of Texas. The group of illegal immigrants eventually broke through the border wire and rushed a permanent border barrier, also manned by guardsmen. In response to the March 21 border riot, Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) ordered an additional 700 National Guard soldiers to be deployed to El Paso last week.

Officials Investigate ‘Disturbing’ Spread of Bird Flu to Dairy Cows.

Dairy cows in Kansas and Texas have tested positive for bird flu — a development experts are calling “highly concerning” and “disturbing.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) confirmed last week that milk from afflicted cattle from two farms in Kansas and one in Texas tested positive for avian influenza. Wild birds present at the dairy farms are the source of infections, according to the USDA.

The discovery came after the USDA began investigating reports of a “mystery cow disease” among older dairy cows in Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico. “For the dairies whose herds are exhibiting symptoms, on average about ten percent of each affected herd appears to be impacted, with little to no associated mortality reported among the animals,” the USDA said in a statement.

MeidasTouch Founder Worked for Diddy, Who Helped Him Into Hillary Clinton’s Office.

Ben Meiselas, one of the three Meiselas brothers who founded the White House-linked MeidasTouch Network responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax among others, started his career by interning for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the hip hop mogul now under investigation for allegedly running a Jeffrey Epstein-style sex trafficking operation.

Combs, also known as ‘Puff Daddy’ and ‘P. Diddy’, is a longtime client of the Meiselas brothers’ father, Kenny Meiselas, a celebrity attorney who has also represented the likes of Lady Gaga, Lizzo, and Nicki Minaj.

Through this nepotistic connection, Ben Meiselas gained an internship at Combs’s Bad Boy Records, though he claimed in a 2018 interview that he “started at the bottom.”

“I was the first one to get in every morning, and he would send me on every possible errand. I’d be helping his assistants get ready for an event and I’d hear things like ‘That’s not the Diddy spoon!’” Meiselas said, adding that the experience taught him “to be a perfectionist and gave me insight into leadership.”

The internship with Combs, who attended Meiselas’s bar mitzvah, ultimately gave Meiselas his “entrée into politics,” according to Variety.

“In 2004 Puff led the ‘Vote or Die’ [voter-registration and awareness] campaign at MTV, and my role morphed from intern-gopher to working with his team on those events,” Meiselas explained. “I attended the Democratic convention that year, and through it all I developed a real love for politics.”

Meiselas went on to intern for then-Senator Hillary Clinton.

Putin Calls Up 150,000 for Military Service.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a directive for the regular spring conscription, ordering 150,000 citizens into military service, according to a document published on the Kremlin’s website on March 31. Every Russian man aged 18 or older must commit to a year of military service or undergo equivalent training during their higher education program.

This comes after Russia extended the age limit for conscription from 27 to 30 in July. The new law took effect on January 1, 2024. Even though conscription is still a contentious issue in Russia, it continues to be executed twice a year. With Russia’s war with Ukraine raging, 130,000 were called to service in the autumn conscription campaign and 147,000 last spring.

The latest conscription decree comes as Russia appears to be stepping up its efforts in Ukraine. Eastern Ukraine regions have seen a rise in casualties due to Russian strikes, with the city of Kharkiv being heavily targeted. Strikes also affected Lviv, a region far from the front lines where rescue operations are ongoing after cruise missile hits. Russia’s Belgorod region suffered casualties due to alleged Ukrainian shelling.

Independent verification of these military movements from either party has not been ascertained. These developments have sparked further international concern around the escalating tensions and impact on civilians living in these regions. Also adding to fears of the conflict’s escalation are the increasing incidents of Western interference in the war on behalf of Ukraine. Following his victory in the March presidential election, Putin warned such interference could spark a third world war.

Mysterious ‘Havana Syndrome’ Linked to Russian Energy Weapon.

An investigation into so-called “Havana Syndrome,” an affliction giving U.S. diplomats and intelligence agents symptoms similar to “early Alzheimer’s,” has linked the condition to Russian-directed energy weapons.

CBS News’s 60 Minutes, The Insider, and Der Spiegel spoke to intelligence officials claiming to suffer from Havana Syndrome, as well as Greg Edgreen, who led a Pentagon investigation into the “anomalous health incidents.”

“[C]onsistently there was a Russia nexus,” Edgreen said of the FBI agents, CIA officers, and others claiming to have come down with Havana Syndrome.

“There was some angle where they had worked against Russia, focused on Russia, and done extremely well,” he claimed.

One of the people CBS spoke to, identified as ‘Carrie,’ continues to work in counter-intelligence at the FBI, despite claiming she now suffers from Alzheimer’s-like symptoms and sometimes walks into walls and door frames.

“My baseline changed, I was not the same person,” she said, claiming the issues started after she perceived being hit by a “force” in her Florida home.

‘PUTIN’S BIGGEST VICTORY.’ 

Christo Grozev, a journalist for Latvia-based The Insider, run by anti-government Russian exiles, told CBS the “attacks” are likely linked to “Russian intelligence unit 29155” and are being carried out using acoustic energy beams at long range.

“If this is what we’ve seen with the hundreds of cases of anomalous health incidents, I can assure that this has become probably Putin’s biggest victory,” he said.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has dismissed the Havana Syndrome allegations as “baseless, unfounded accusations.”

“This is not a new topic at all; for many years the topic of the so-called ‘Havana Syndrome’ has been exaggerated in the press, and from the very beginning it was linked to accusations against the Russian side,” he said.

“But no one has ever published or expressed any convincing evidence of these unfounded accusations anywhere.”

Koch-Backed Open Borders Fiend Uses Baltimore Bridge Deaths to Push For More Immigration.

Progressive activists and open border advocates are using the death of several immigrants in the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse to push for increased immigration numbers in the United States. The deadly accident has claimed the lives of at least six immigrant workers.

Several non-profit groups that provide aid to illegal immigrants and push for increased immigrant numbers in the U.S. have seized on the deaths to push their open-borders agenda. “American workers got to sleep in their beds and not get hit by a cargo ship because immigrant workers went to work to fill potholes,” wrote David Bier in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Bier, who works for the pro-open borders Cato Institute, added: “Can’t wait for immigrants to rebuild this bridge bigger and better than ever.”

Other non-profit organizations like Global Refuge and United We Dream — which aid mass immigration through charitable programs — stressed the need for immigrant labor to help rebuild the collapsed bridge. “We know we can and we will rebuild,” Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, CEO of Global Refuge, said in a statement. He continued: “And we also know the contributions of our immigrant brothers and sisters will continue to be essential in that effort.”

Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, called the use of the immigrant worker deaths to promote mass immigration policies “kind of creepy.” He added: “Most of the people who do this are Americans. In this case, for any number of reasons, these guys were immigrants … There’s just no [immigration] policy implications to draw from this [tragedy].”

Responding to Bier’s posts on X, Oren Cass, who runs the pro-worker American Compass think tank, said: “It’s important to understand that for many libertarians, their open borders advocacy leading to a Qatar-like caste system in America is a feature, not a bug.”

Air Force One by Gage Skidmore

Journalists Keep Stealing from Air Force One.

A White House staffer and a reporter recently rendezvoused to address a recurring issue of items being taken from Air Force One – the presidential plane, according to a report from POLITICO.

A problem was highlighted when the Office of the President noted that several branded items were missing from the press cabin following a trip in February. In response to the incident, an anonymous email was sent offering assistance for a “quiet return” of any items “accidentally” taken.

The individual, who took linens from the presidential plane, met with a White House representative near the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square, where the item was confidentially returned.

This petty theft seems not to be an isolated incident, as several sources have reportedly observed Air Force One being used as a source of souvenirs by the traveling press pack. Anonymous tips even identified a former major newspaper correspondent serving a dinner party on stolen Air Force One crockery.

Petty theft on official property doesn’t seem confined to the plane. The executive mansion also noted incidents in 2015 of disappearing items – some of significant value.

To discourage theft, the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, Kelly O’Donnell, reminded reporters not to take items from the aircraft, adding that items with Air Force One logos could be purchased outside the plane. However, sources indicate that collectible items available for purchase are not comparable in quality to onboard counterparts.

Biden Declares Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’.

President Joe Biden has proclaimed March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, as America’s “Transgender Day of Visibility.” The proclamation insists upon the importance of understanding and acceptance for transgender people, whilst blasting “extremists” who are “proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families.”

The proclamation and its inherently immoral rhetoric also appear intentionally designed to offend Christians on Easter Sunday, leading to a backlash on social media.

The Biden White House also recently banned Christian symbols for the traditional Easter Egg hunt.

“You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back,” the President’s lengthy proclamation reads.

Joe Biden has consistently claimed to be Catholic, though most Americans appear to doubt his faith. Earlier this month, a Pew Research poll revealed that a mere 13 percent of Americans view Biden as very religious. On the other hand, 41 percent believe he is somewhat religious. Notably, 44 percent think he lacks substantial religious conviction.

China-Run TikTok is Spending MILLIONS Campaigning in American Elections.

The Chinese Communist-controlled social media titan TikTok has begun a $2.1 million ad campaign attempting to unseat its critics from public office in the United States. The move is in response to recent legislation that would force the sale of the app to an American-controlled company, or failing that, ban it from the United States. Similar bans have taken place in India, with almost zero deleterious effects on previous users.

TikTok, a product of the China-based parent company ByteDance, enjoys robust popularity, particularly amongst young Americans. Their new ad campaign is set to claim that five million small business owners in America are now reliant on the Chinese Communist-controlled application. The campaign is slated to run through mid-April, as reported by CNBC News.

TikTok has confirmed television ad reservations in key battle states, including Nevada, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, effectively holding U.S. politicians hostage using Chinese cash.

Beyond these, the states of Massachusetts, Minnesota, and New York have been identified for the ad campaign as well, according to information from AdImpact reviewed by CNBC.

Dems Demand Biden Fast-Track Citizenship for Millions of Illegals

Nearly 20 U.S. Senators have called on President Joe Biden to fast-track citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. They argue that those with no criminal history and longstanding connections to the country should be allowed to quickly achieve lawful immigration status, disregarding that their illegal entry into the country is, in fact, a criminal act.

The list of senators includes Democrats like John Fetterman, Michael Bennet, Dick Durbin, and Cory Booker, as well as independent Bernie Sanders.

In their letter, the group lauds the questionable economic contributions of illegal immigrants. The senators proposed several recommendations, including prompt executive action to allow spouses of U.S. citizens to work during their green card application process, as well as a more streamlined process for DACA recipients to move to nonimmigrant status.

“Deporting all such individuals—as former President Donald Trump has threatened to do if reelected—would devastate the American economy and destroy American families,” the Senators falsely claim.

The full letter is available to read, here.
