Republicans are panicking after a Democrat censorship scheme was just uncovered

Democrats are struggling to defend any of their positions. The easiest way to win for them is to make sure Republicans can’t respond at all.

And Republicans are panicking after a Democrat censorship scheme was just uncovered.

A screenshot sent to the Daily Caller News Foundation shows that the famous conservative social media account Libs of TikTok has already been blocked on tech giant Meta’s new text-based app Threads.

The screenshot was posted to Twitter and shows that Libs of TikTok, which is headed by Chaya Raichik, wrote that “[n]on-binary isn’t real” on Threads Friday morning, and the newly released app banned her the same day owing to its “hate speech” restrictions.

According to Raichik, the takedown was unsurprising given Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s history of conservative repression on Facebook and Instagram.

“Within hours of joining I got death threats, had people sharing my address, and was told to kill myself,” Raichik told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“None of those posts were removed despite me reporting them. Only my factual post was removed.”

The “Terms Of Use” for Threads explain that the new app follows the same “Community Guidelines” as Meta’s Instagram because “the service is part of Instagram.”

Raichik shared a video on Twitter of the harsh content thrown at her that allegedly still exists on Threads.

This, Raichik told the Daily Caller News Foundation, defies Zuckerberg’s intention for Threads to be “a friendly place.”

Instagram’s guidelines state that it removes “hate speech,” defining it as “a direct attack against people … on the basis of what we call protected characteristics: race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity and serious disease.”

“It’s clear that the biased censorship from Big Tech is still thriving everywhere except Elon’s Twitter,” Raichik told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “I think I’ll stick with Twitter.”

Other notable conservatives, including as Donald Trump Jr. and DC Draino, have also complained about restrictions on Threads since its inception on Wednesday.

The pair both claimed that Threads asked users if they are “sure” they want to follow the accounts and flagged that both have “repeatedly posted false information,” according to screenshots.

“Are you sure you want to follow [the account],” the warning reportedly asks. “This account has repeatedly posted false information that was reviewed by independent fact-checkers or went against our Community Guidelines.”

Meta did not immediately reply to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Biden DOJ releases document that could determine Donald Trump’s fate

Donald Trump is public enemy number one to the Democrats. He faces a very real possibility of being thrown behind bars.

And the Biden DOJ released a document that could determine Donald Trump’s fate

When it comes to Donald Trump, you either love the man or hate the man.

It should surprise no one that after years and years of conditioning by the left-wing media, Democrats are willing to do anything to bring Trump down.

That includes accusing him of everything from stealing classified information to assaulting a woman in a changing room in New York.

The accusations range from the bizarre to the outrageous with no end in sight.

And that’s exactly the point. The Democrats are banking on gumming up Trump’s campaign for presidency with legal paperwork to slow him down.

Then, if he starts to talk about the cases against him, they threaten him with gag orders and fines.

Now we’re getting an inside look into the allegation that he kept classified documents. This the same allegation that supposedly justified raiding his home in Florida.

More of the search warrant affidavit that authorized the FBI to raid former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago mansion and resort was ordered to be made public by Florida Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart on Wednesday, and the Justice Department cooperated.

Reinhart’s decision refused media organizations’ request that the entire affidavit be unsealed, but permitted the Justice Department to distribute a less-redacted version of the document on Wednesday.

The newly unredacted portions of the affidavit suggest that the FBI was aware, prior to the search, that Trump was keeping boxes “in at least two different rooms within the premises” “between January 21, 2021, and late August 2021.”

According to the affidavit, when FBI agents and DOJ officials met with Trump’s counsel at Mar-a-Lago on June 3, 2022, to retrieve documents subpoenaed by the Justice Department, they discovered approximately 50-55 boxes inside a storage room at Trump’s Palm Beach, Fla., club after 15 boxes were provided to the National Archives and Records Administration out of the approximately 85-95 boxes Trump was believed to be in possession of.

“It appears that approximately fifteen to thirty of the FPOTUS BOXES had previously been relocated elsewhere. The FBI agents also observed that the composition of boxes differed such that fewer Bankers boxes were visible, while more plain cardboard boxes and storage bins were present,” an unredacted portion of the affidavit reads.

“Other items were also present in the STORAGE ROOM, including a coat rack with suit jackets, as well as interior décor items such as wall art and frames,” it continued.

The document notes that “the door to the STORAGE ROOM was painted gold and had no other markings on it” and the room was “located approximately mid-way up the wall and is reachable by several wooden stairs.”

Aside from the boxes of documents, the affidavit states that Trump kept “merchandise such as challenge coins, garment bags, Mar-a-Lago memorabilia such as photograph frames and other decor items” in the room.

The search warrant also includes a photograph of the storage room from special counsel Jack Smith’s federal indictment of Trump.

According to Reinhart, the DOJ agreed to make some further elements of the search warrant public, but wanted to keep others redacted to “comply with grand jury secrecy rules and to protect investigative sources and methods.”

Trump, 77, has been charged with 37 felony counts connected to Smith’s probe into his handling of confidential White House records, including deliberate retention of national security information and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

The former commander-in-chief has pleaded not guilty in the matter and fiercely denies any wrongdoing, claiming that he declassified the records and that the DOJ is conducting a “witch-hunt” against him.

Kristi Noem went on Fox News and demolished Leftists with facts and logic

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has become popular with the American people. She just demonstrated why.

Because Kristi Noem went on Fox News and utterly blasted Leftists with this perfect truth bomb.

When Ben & Jerry’s demanded that the United States return Mount Rushmore to Native American groups whose territory had been “stolen” by the federal government, South Dakota’s Republican governor, Kristi Noem, responded with some hard pills for Leftists to swallow.

During an interview with Fox News, Noem claimed she would not listen to “a bunch of liberal Vermont businessmen who think they know everything there is to know about this country and haven’t studied our history.”

Founded in Vermont by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream said on their website on July 4 that the United States must return “stolen Indigenous land.”

According to Ben & Jerry’s, the region in South Dakota that eventually become Mount Rushmore was once known as Tunkasila Sakpe to the local Lakota Sioux.

After decades of conflict, the federal government negotiated treaties with various Native American tribes, including the Lakota, granting them 35 million acres, which included the Black Hills.

The corporation explained how the government abandoned the treaties after gold was discovered and residents flocked to the area. The Sioux people, originally from several separate tribes, were relocated to tiny reservations far away.

Ben & Jerry’s said that the tribes seek nothing more than the return of their land, despite the fact that the Supreme Court determined in 1980 that the land had been stolen and offered the tribes financial compensation.

Noem referred to Mount Rushmore as “the greatest symbol of our freedom” in American history.

“We can learn from the men on that mountain. We can do better, but boy did they lead us through some challenging times,” she said of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln on the mount.

Noem argued that national landmarks like Mount Rushmore serve as sources of motivation for Americans.

“We should be proud of America and knock off what Ben & Jerry’s is doing. They don’t have any idea what they’re doing,” she asserted.

Kristi Noem is saying what the vast majority of Americans are feeling right now.

Americans are sick and tired of Leftists trying to make people feel bad for history from hundreds of years ago at this point that no one can control.

It would be ridiculous to say that indigenous groups have not been treated fairly by the federal government in helping them preserve their cultures.

Millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars have gone to preserve indigenous lands and populations.

What Noem is pointing out is that you can still be proud of the ideas that the men on Mount Rushmore represent.

Wanting to destroy Mount Rushmore just shows how anti-American these woke Leftist companies like Ben & Jerry’s are.

But as we all know by now: when you go woke, you go broke.

Underdog Republican gave Trump and DeSantis the shock of their lives

Underdog Republican gave Trump and DeSantis the shock of their lives

The race for the Republican nomination is underway. It’s not going how everyone expected.

And this underdog Republican gave Trump and DeSantis the shock of their lives.

If you follow the news, you know that the two leading candidates for the Republican nomination are Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump.

The match has been determined since at least last November, when Trump’s endorsed candidates showed lackluster results, while DeSantis and Florida became a Republican stronghold.

Over the past few months, rumors stirred that DeSantis would throw his hat in the ring, with Trump throwing not-so-subtle jabs at the popular Florida Governor.

Then, DeSantis announced his candidacy in late May of this year, and the race was on.

But there are far more candidates than two in the race. Though many are garnering next to no support, one has shot forward into the limelight.

According to the most recent Echelon Insights study, anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy broke into the double digits in the Republican primary contest.

The poll, like previous national polls, reveals former President Donald Trump with a solid lead in the primary campaign, with 49 percent support.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis trails by 33 points, with only 16 percent support. Ramaswamy is a close third with 10% support, just six points behind DeSantis, making him the only other contender to reach into double digits.

Former Vice President Mike Pence and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley are tied with 5% support.

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has 4% support, followed by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with 2% and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, each with 1% support.

Ramaswamy appears to be third in battleground states as well. Trump has a majority of support in battleground states, with 56 percent, followed by DeSantis with 22 percent and Ramaswamy with 7%.

The survey was conducted among 1,020 likely voters from June 26-29, 2023, and has a +/- 3.9 percent margin of error.

Ramaswamy, who has shown a big gain in name recognition and favorability in Morning Consult’s weekly poll, has made headlines after challenging rival presidential contenders to join him in pledging to pardon Trump on his first day in office.

“I challenge every US Presidential candidate to join me in standing for TRUTH. Commit to pardon Donald Trump for these federal charges on Day 1, or explain why you won’t,” Ramaswamy wrote in a social media post on June 13:

Pence is among many who have declined to declare if they would pardon Trump, claiming that it is “premature” to have that discussion.

Donald Trump just forced Joe Biden to do the one thing he hates

Even though Trump is out of office, that doesn’t mean his political power has waned. Now even Biden is having to bend the knee.

And Donald Trump just forced Joe Biden to do the one thing he hates.

Homeland Security announced Friday that it will construct 20 more miles of border wall, fulfilling a key campaign promise made by former President Donald Trump.

The government claimed it had no choice but to begin construction due to the wording of the 2019 funding bill, which included money explicitly for border wall construction.

Some $190 million remains unspent, and President Biden risks breaking the law if he does not spend it on the wall by September.

“Until and unless Congress cancels these funds, the law requires DHS to use the funds consistent with their appropriated purpose,” Customs and Border Protection said in an unsigned statement announcing the new construction.

The move marks a significant retreat for Mr. Biden, who during the 2020 campaign had vowed there would “not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration.”

CBP stated that the new construction will take place in the Yuma and El Centro sectors of the Border Patrol, which span southeastern California and southern Arizona.

The wall will be an 18-foot steel bollard design, as approved by the 2019 funding bill and described by CBP as “the most operationally effective design.”

In addition to the fence panels, the department plans to install lighting, access roads, and sensors to identify unauthorized crossings. The Trump administration dubbed the package the “wall system,” and claimed that it was all necessary for border security.

Mr. Trump left office with more than 450 miles of barrier, the majority of which replaced outmoded designs. However, the Trump administration was late in constructing the roads and wall extensions. According to the Government Accountability Office, less than 69 miles of the whole wall system will have been built by 2021.

According to the audit, the government raced to build the panels in order to satisfy Mr. Trump’s campaign pledges, but cut corners on other components of the system.

“While the wall panels are typically the most costly part of border barrier construction, the full wall system remains incomplete,” GAO said.

CBP had plans and money to build more than 200 miles of wall when Mr. Trump departed office.

Mr. Biden put a stop to that on his first day in office.

He first returned funds diverted from the Defense Department for wall construction by Mr. Trump, then pleaded with Congress to cancel the remainder of the funds appropriated by Congress for the wall.

Those attempts failed, and some of the funds budgeted for 2019, 2020, and 2021 remain in the pipeline.

Congress, for example, allotted $1.375 billion in 2019. According to Homeland Security, $190 million remains and must be spent on the wall.

Late Friday, CBP stated that it will continue to plan substantial consultation with landowners, state, local, and tribal governments on how and where to build.

“DHS remains committed to the protection of the environment and will conduct environmental surveys, analyze the potential for environmental impacts from the implementation of the projects, and develop measures that avoid or minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible,” the department said.

Kamala Harris’ career ending secret exposed by watchdog

Kamala Harris’ career ending secret exposed by watchdog

Vice President Harris is one of the least likable politicians in the country. But things just got so much worse for her.

And Kamala Harris’ career ending secret was just exposed by a watchdog.

According to data from a conservative watchdog group, the Biden administration is aggressively working to employ artificial intelligence to promote a woke, progressive ideology, with left-wing activists leading the effort.

The American Accountability Foundation investigated the administration’s AI ambitions and is now warning in a document that top US officials under President Biden are attempting to implant “dangerous ideologies” into AI systems.

“Under the guise of fighting ‘algorithmic discrimination’ and ‘harmful bias,’ the Biden administration is trying to rig AI to follow the woke left’s rules,” AAF president Tom Jones told Fox News Digital.

“Biden is being advised on technology policy, not by scientists, but by racially obsessed social academics and activists. We’re already seen the biggest tech firms in the world, like Google under Eric Schmidt, use their power to push the left’s agenda. This would take the tech/woke alliance to a whole new, truly terrifying level.”

AAF mentioned several examples of the administration’s “campaign to make AI woke” in its memo.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, for example, produced a “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights” in October.

The document warns of “algorithmic discrimination,” in which AI systems treat people differently based on their race, gender, or other qualities, and requests that data “used as part of system development or assessment” be “reviewed for bias based on the data’s historical and societal context.”

To address such concerns, the blueprint suggests “proactive equity assessments as part of system design,” among other measures.

While speaking at the Summit for Democracy in March, Arati Prabhakar, director of Biden’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, praised Biden’s signing of an executive order the previous month that, in her words, “promotes data equity,” directs agencies to combat “algorithmic discrimination,” and ensures these agencies use AI to advance “equity.”

One of the purposes of the executive order, which Biden signed in February, is to “root out bias in the design and use of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence.”

In its memo, AAF also mentions how, months later, in May, the White House’s Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence, which falls under Prabhakar’s purview, released the National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan, which calls for more resources to combat “harmful biases” and warns that “AI systems are prone to ‘hallucinate’ and recapitulate biases derived from the unfiltered data from the internet used to train them.”

The report goes on to say that “understanding how AI can reduce inequities stemming from systemic, structural and individual bias is an important area of research.”

The report’s AI committee is part of the National Science and Technology Council, whose highest-ranking member is Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden named “AI czar” to lead the administration’s new initiative “to promote responsible AI innovation that protects Americans’ rights and safety.”

Harris has previously highlighted similar concerns about racial bias in artificial intelligence and the need to overcome it.

“When we look at … issues like AI and machine learning, there is a real need to be very concerned about how being built into it is racial bias,” Harris said in 2019 while a senator from California.

“It’s a real issue, and it’s happening in real time. And the thing about racial bias in technology is that, unlike the racial bias that you can pretty easily [detect] when you get stopped in a department store or while you’re driving, the bias that is built into technology will not be very easy to detect.”

Kamala and the Biden administration’s insistence on training AI to peddle the Democrat’s social and cultural policies is sure to sink their already failing approval ratings lower and lower.

Joe Biden struck with another crushing court loss

President Biden thinks he can do whatever he wants with no consequences. But he’s been taken to court for his actions.

And now Joe Biden was hit with yet another crushing court loss that left him fuming.

A federal judge has ruled that President Joe Biden and the ATF overstepped their authority by banning so-called “ghost guns,” dealing another setback to Biden’s anti-gun agenda.

On Friday, United States District Judge Reed O’Connor ruled that the ATF had exceeded its authority by prohibiting partially completed firearms. O’Connor presides over cases in the Southern District of Texas.

O’Connor argued that the case was a test of whether the Gun Control Act of 1968 allowed the federal government to control weapon components, related firearm items, and other tools and materials. The court ruled that the recently passed final rule by the government was an unconstitutional agency action made in excess of the ATF’s statutory jurisdiction since the government could not lawfully regulate the items in question. Accordingly, the Court set aside the Order.

It’s expected that the Justice Department will file an appeal of the verdict. It follows the repeal of restrictions on so-called “bump stocks” and portends poorly for the administration’s most recent move to outlaw adjustable braced handguns in the AR pattern.

Supporters of the Second Amendment were relieved by the verdict, seeing it as another blow to Biden’s attempt to seize firearms without going through Congress.

In this case, ATF has determined that even partially assembled firearms are nonetheless subject to regulation. The court ruled that the components were not illegal firearms.

Attorney General Merrick Garland released the rule on gun frames and receivers last year, claiming he was merely “modernizing” a law from 1968 by giving them the name “guns.” However, the court laughed off ATF’s contention that firearm components are also capable of being assembled into rifles.

“The issue in this case is whether ATF may properly regulate a component as a ‘frame or receiver’ even after ATF determines that the component in question is not a frame or receiver. It may not. Logic dictates that a part cannot be both not yet a receiver and receiver at the same time. Defendants’ reliance on that logical contradiction is fatal to their argument,” wrote the judge.

At issue are pre-assembled firearms that a buyer must assemble. Usually they are eighty percent complete and just need drilling and assembly to become guns. There are no serial numbers or mandatory background checks for purchasing one because the law does not consider them to be firearms.

Law enforcement officials are split on whether or not these guns are actually being used in crimes.

“This is a monumental victory against the tyrannical ATF. Firearms Policy Coalition and Law have argued that this rogue agency has unlawfully attacked gun owners in this latest round of ‘rulemaking,’ and we are grateful to see the court agree,” said Richard Thomson, the FPC’s vice president of communications.

Alan M. Gottlieb, founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, commented on the ruling, saying, “This decision amounts to another court blow to Joe Biden’s anti-gun agenda, which threatens the very Constitution he swore to uphold and defend when he took office.”

Adam Kraut, executive director of the Second Amendment Foundation, said in a press release that “this case is one more example of the Biden administration’s ongoing effort to exceed its authority in order to place as many restrictions as possible on the rights of law-abiding gun owners.”

The Biden administration and the radical Democrats continue to wax on about “common-sense” gun legislation, but the truth is, they don’t know a d*mn thing about guns.

Anyone who tries to argue that a block of aluminum needs to be classified as a weapon and subject to a background check is out of their mind.

This is all ultimately about control, not “common-sense.” That’s why the Left is so desperate to take away the freedom of Americans to be able to even get the materials they want to build or accessorize their weapons.

If the Left actually cared about firearm violence, they’d be focusing on cleaning up their streets in Detroit, Chicago, and San-Francisco.

Biden proves he’s lost his mind with one TV appearance

Voters are concerned that Biden’s mental acuity could be compromised. This leaves no room for doubt.

And Biden proved he’s lost his mind with one TV appearance.

If you look at the most recent NBC News poll, Joe Biden has plenty to worry about going into 2024.

His overall approval rating is in the low 40s, but that isn’t the worst of it.

The poll also found 68% of all voters say they have concerns about Biden having the necessary mental and physical health to be president, including 55% who say they have “major” concerns.

Not only that, but in 2020, 21% of Democrats said they had moderate/major concerns about Biden’s fitness. Now it’s 43% of Dems who say this.

Almost a majority of his party are seriously concerned that he isn’t all there and can’t effectively lead.

And Biden’s recent interview on MSNBC surely isn’t going to allay any fears.

While the cameras were still rolling, President Joe Biden abruptly stood up and exited a live televised appearance on MSNBC Thursday afternoon.

“Deadline” host Nicole Wallace was closing up the softball interview when Biden slid out of his seat.

“Mr. President, thank you,” Wallace said as the president walked over and shook her hand.

In a television clip, Biden can be seen heading off set behind Wallace as she’s looking into the camera to tease her next section.

“Don’t go anywhere, it’s a very exciting day around here,” Wallace said to the audience.

“We’ll have reaction and analysis to everything we just heard from the president.”

During the conversation, Biden, 80, had numerous difficult moments, including mixing up the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution while debating the Supreme Court’s judgment that race-based college admissions are prohibited.

“Its value system is different, and its respect for our institutions is different,” Biden said of the Supreme Court.

“And in that sense, it’s not as embracing of all, what I think the con—the Constitution says, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator.’ It’s the uniqueness of America – we’ve never fully lived up to it, we never walked away from it. And this court seems to say, ‘No, that’s not always the case.’ The idea that there’s no right of privacy in the Constitution, giving states power that we fought a war over in 1960 [sic]. You know, I just think it’s — this is not your father’s Republican Party.”

The portion of text from the Constitution that Biden used is actually from the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

Trump just got sold out to the DOJ

Former President Trump knows a thing or two about betrayal. He’s had quite a few former “allies” sell him out to his enemies.

But this latest backstabbing is one that Donald Trump never saw coming.

According to reports, a former Trump campaign official who participated in Trump’s phony electors scam is now helping the Justice Department investigate potential efforts from Trump to overturn the 2020 election.

According to CNN’s sources, Mike Roman is assisting special counsel Jack Smith’s team by providing insight into what former president Donald Trump was thinking in the weeks following his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden. Since Roman is not required to testify before the grand jury during these discussions, he is free to speak freely with investigators under the terms of a proffer agreement.

This arrangement could prevent investigators from using Roman’s testimony against him in the future, however it’s unclear what information they’re seeking from him. A former Trump campaign employee is under investigation for his role in a conspiracy to prevent the 2020 election in seven swing states from being certified.

In such discussions, Trump and some of his allies reportedly discussed submitting alternative elector slates who might be called on in the event the election was decertified, which has drawn the attention of investigators.

The assistance of Roman comes as the special counsel’s office intensifies up its probe into Trump’s intentions to avenge his 2020 loss to Biden and his behavior during the brawl on January 6. Smith is in charge of the DOJ’s investigation, and he has begun calling witnesses to shed light on Trump’s discussions of potential actions to overturn the election in meetings held in December 2020 and January 2021.

Local authorities in swing areas where Trump challenged election results have already received subpoenas from Smith demanding conversations with the former president in the weeks following the 2020 election.

Before Trump’s reelection loss this year, the special counsel’s team spoke with Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani to gain insight into the president’s post-election mindset.

A grand jury has heard testimony from multiple witnesses in recent weeks, and the defense has been pressing to have even more of their clients interviewed.

Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and John Eastman are just a few of Trump’s previous legal team members who have been implicated. Former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark, who allegedly attempted to use the DOJ to help Trump reverse the election, is also being investigated by the special counsel’s office.

The investigation’s stated goal is to learn what the former president instructed his lawyers and top aides to do in an effort to alter the outcome of the 2020 election. Two more avenues have been reported that might lead to further scrutiny of Trump.

The first is based on the same type of allegations that were brought against those detained after the Capitol was stormed, including seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to hinder a government proceeding.

Trump might be charged with fraud in relation to the fake electors conspiracy or his attempts to force the DOJ to reject the election results.

Ultimately, though, the onus is on the DOJ and the FBI to prove their claims that Trump tried to outright overturn the election in 2020, and simply pointing to Trump saying that the election was “unfair” does not prove that.

The conclusion of these investigations by the DOJ will prove instrumental for the future of America as well.

Donald Trump, if proven innocent, will have a legitimate claim to the idea that the radical Left and the Deep State has been targeting him unfairly to prevent him from being able to gain power in politics ever again.

The Democrats have to prove it because, if they don’t, then their political credibility will be lost and they will have only emboldened the conservative base with their ruthlessly unfair attacks on Donald Trump.

That could have a ripple effect beyond 2024 and into 2028 and future Republican leaders like Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem seek to take the torch from Donald Trump in the near future.

The Pentagon makes a stunning national security announcement that changes everything

Americans have always thought they were safe in this country. But the reality is far different than anyone expected.

And the Pentagon made a stunning national security announcement that changes everything.

Remember earlier this year when the Chinese decided to fly a spy balloon over the entirety of the United States homeland.

From west coast to east coast Americans watched as the balloon was allowed to hover over critical military installations without so much as a jet scrambled by the Biden administration.

Then, after completing its entire mission, Biden finally allowed the spy craft to be destroyed over the Atlantic Ocean.

But now we’re learning that American technology may have helped the Chinese in their intelligence gathering mission.

According to the Wall Street Journal, which quoted authorities involved in the preliminary inquiry into the balloon’s origin and purpose, the American-made technology assisted China in capturing images, videos, and other information.

Debris from the balloon, which was shot down in early February, apparently revealed to investigators that the Chinese device contained commercially accessible US equipment, some of which was for sale online, as well as specialized Chinese sensors and other equipment.

The new material reinforces the view of many intelligence specialists that the balloon was designed for surveillance rather than meteorological measurements, as Beijing stated.

“The officials described the Chinese balloon, with its mix of off-the-shelf and specialized equipment, as an inventive attempt by Beijing at surveillance,” the Wall Street Journal wrote.

On January 28, the balloon entered US airspace over Alaska before crossing into Canadian airspace.

The balloon reentered US airspace over Montana on January 31, and the public spotted it on February 2. On February 4, it was shot down off the coast of South Carolina.

A report published around two months later revealed that the balloon was able to gather intelligence on US military bases while in flight.

While officials claimed at the time that the balloon could be controlled and delivered data to the Chinese government in real time, the investigation’s subsequent results revealed that the device did not appear to send any data back to China.

The spy balloon episode aggravated the already fragile ties between the United States and China.

Chinese officials thought the balloon’s downing was disproportionate, while many senators thought President Joe Biden’s failure to act sooner was disastrous for national security.

Just this week, the North American Aerospace Defense Command hurried to assuage residents’ fears of another Chinese spy balloon above US country when a high-altitude balloon was detected.

While the organization determined that the balloon was not Chinese, but rather a privately owned civilian balloon registered with the Federal Aviation Administration, the anxiety was noteworthy.

Many citizens and policymakers are concerned about the prospect of spying by America’s number one adversary.

Democrat politician arrested for one disgusting reason

It’s been a bad week for Democrat lawmakers. One Democrat has already been thrown behind bars, and another is poised to join him.

And this Democrat politician was arrested for one disgusting reason.

A former New Hampshire state representative, the first openly “transgender” state member, was arrested last week for allegedly disseminating explicit pictures of children.

Stacie Marie Laughton, 39, was arrested on June 22 when police in Nashua, New Hampshire, raided his home.

“[The police] spoke with reporting parties that indicated Laughton distributed … explicit images of children,” said the local police department’s public information officer.

“Detectives from the special investigations division were assigned to further the investigation. They applied for and were granted a warrant for Laughton’s arrest.”

The Nashua Police Department Laughton, according to Sgt. John Cinelli, “was charged with four counts of disseminating” graphic pictures of children.

Laughton was arrested in connection with his former partner, Lindsay Groves, according to investigators. Groves worked at the Creative Minds Early Learning Center, a Massachusetts preschool.

Laughton has a track record of arrests and legal problems. The former Democratic lawmaker, born Barry Charles Laughton, Jr., resigned twice from the same office due to arrest controversies.

He was the first openly “transgender” person elected to the state legislature in 2012. In 2022, he was re-elected. Laughton quit both times after legal problems were revealed.

LGBTQ activists and media outlets applauded Laughton’s victory. Laughton sought to serve as an example to the “LGBT community.”

“I believe that at this point, the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community will hopefully be inspired,” Laughton said in 2012. “My hope is that now maybe we’ll see more people in the community running.”

“Maybe in the next election, we’ll have a senator.”

After the revelation of a previous credit card fraud case involving him, Laughton resigned shortly after the 2012 election.

Laughton’s criminality extended beyond credit card fraud. Laughton was sentenced to six months in prison in 2015 for falsely reporting a hospital bomb threat.

He was later arrested in July 2021 for providing false information to the police. He was re-elected to the state legislature in November 2022, but resigned in December following stalking charges.

“I’m alive, I’m safe, I’m well,” Laughton said in a Facebook video after announcing his withdrawal from politics in 2022. “I’m not suicidal, and just trying to get by every day with what I’ve been dealt.”

“I don’t know what the future holds but I do know this—there’s a lot of good opportunities out there for me to serve, and a lot of good opportunities for me to still stay connected with everyone and I plan to do that.”

Laughton is being kept in preventative detention and will be arraigned at a later date.

Donald Trump stuns everyone with announcement of counter lawsuit

Former President Donald Trump is tired of the political games. He’s going on the offensive.

Because Trump just stunned everyone with the announcement of this counter lawsuit.

After a civil trial jury awarded E. Jean Carroll $5 million for defamation, former President Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against her on Tuesday, claiming she fraudulently accused him of rape.

After an extraordinary jury found in May that Trump sexually mistreated and denigrated but did not rape Carroll, a former advice writer for Elle magazine, Trump filed a complaint against Carroll in federal court in Manhattan.

Trump is demanding an apology and unspecified monetary damages and penalties.

On Tuesday, Carroll’s attorneys did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

With both sides trading charges and denials in the press, Trump’s lawsuit indicates his multi-front legal struggle with Carroll is unlikely to finish soon.

Carroll requested an additional $10 million in damages from Trump in May, amending the first of her two cases against him to include his repeated denials during a CNN interview the day after the judgement.

Despite the jury’s decision that Trump “just” sexually abused Carroll, Trump’s petition in that same case on Tuesday cites Carroll’s claims on CNN following the judgment, in which she stated Trump raped her.

Trump, who is vying for reelection as president in 2024 and has a large lead over his Republican opponents, has refuted sexually assaulting Carroll. He is contesting the $5 million damage award against him.

According to Carroll’s testimony, Trump assaulted her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s and then wrecked her reputation by branding her a liar when she went public with her allegations in 2019.

These new documents are part of Carroll’s ongoing defamation lawsuit against Trump, which she first filed in 2019. The case has been stalled by appeals over whether or not Trump has presidential immunity from being sued for his comments.

After New York established a rule allowing survivors of sexual violence to pursue civil actions even if the statute of limitations had passed, Carroll filed a second lawsuit against Trump for defamation and sexual assault.

The counter suit from Donald Trump is noteworthy because it signals that the Trump legal team is ready to go on the offensive.

The attacks on Donald Trump’s character and integrity can only go on so long before he starts to fight back. And that’s what he seems to be doing now.

It will be interesting to see if Trump tries to take a new approach with regards to his other pending legal cases that are, frankly, way more important than this he-said/she-said case that he is in with Carroll.

Donald Trump’s lawyers could try to go on the offensive in his indictment trial over alleged hush payments from the 2016 election by arguing that the Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg is intentionally targeting him.

In the second indictment trial Trump is facing from the federal government over classified documents that were found at Mar-a-Lago that Trump had allegedly illegally kept and mishandled, Donald Trump’s legal team could try to argue that the federal government was unconstitutionally spying on him.

The reason they raided Mar-a-Lago in the first place was due to surveillance data they had on Trump’s home.

Of course, going on the offensive leaves you more vulnerable if you don’t focus enough on a solid defense against the pending charges themselves.

One thing is certain, Trump’s lawyers do not have an envious job at all.
