RICHMOND, Virginia (LifeSiteNews) –– The FBI planned to recruit leaders in both a Virginia diocese and the Society of St. Pius X to spy on faithful Catholics.The FBI provided information to U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, admitting that it had sought information “derived from at least one undercover employee” seeking to infiltrate religious organizations as “new avenues for tripwire and source development.” Jordan has previously received 18 pages of heavily-redacted documents regarding its investigation of Catholics and the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Richmond, Virginia. Due to the limited response thus far by the...

Messenger RNA or mRNA technology in vaccines is increasingly a cause for concern in the aftermath of the COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) vaccination protocol. Recently the concern has escalated as Big Rx and Big Ag have begun lobbying against any labeling requirement for animal products which contain mRNA as part of the vaccine protocol.Recent studies have shown in mice that mRNA can transfer to the bloodstream from food ingestion (milk). The potential to use the food supply as a vaccine pathway into humans is raising alarm bells as the long-term consequences are unknown. Against this backdrop Dr Peter McCullough appears with Emerald...

Beverly Hills is known for being a stomping ground of the Hollywood elite, but as homelessness in Los Angeles has grown, so too have its encampments. The median house price in Beverly Hills is around $3.5million, yet those luxury houses are now juxtaposed against a clusters of tents, prominent along residential streets, highways and parks. Photos taken on Tuesday reveal tarpaulins, shopping carts, mattresses and loose bedding next to busy junctions and on the sidewalks of the wealthy suburb. The scenes were captured along San Vicente Blvd, near the upscale Beverly Center shopping mall where celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Paris...

On March 14, Mattituck businessman Greg Williams announced he would run as a Republican for the Suffolk County Legislature. Three days later, at 8:42 a.m., Mr. Williams received a text message from William Mann, an employee of the Suffolk County Board of Elections. While largely incomprehensible, the text contained what Mr. Williams saw as a direct threat. He provided the text to The Suffolk Times. It read: “We need to talk you [expletive] on me as a problem and there’s a problem I’m going to challenge every [expletive] petition signature you get I didn’t want to do this on a...

The Texas House has taken sides in one of America’s most polarizing debates — whether to continue changing clocks twice a year, ditch daylight saving time altogether or stick with later daylight permanently. The representatives’ overwhelming verdict: Stay on daylight saving time moving forward. ... The idea is far from becoming reality. Once the bill gets a final House vote, it still has to clear the Senate. And even if signed to law by Gov. Greg Abbott, the measure would still require an OK from Congress. Federal law lets states exempt themselves from observing daylight saving time — meaning they...

A damaging batch of documents leaked from the Pentagon appears to have been initially shared on the video game chat platform Discord in an effort to win an argument about the war in Ukraine, according to open-source intelligence analysts. The bizarre provenance of the leak may seem unusual but it is far from the first time that a dispute between gamers has sparked an intelligence breach, with the overlapping communities causing problems for military and gaming platforms alike. The existence of the leaked cache was exposed as documents showing estimated casualties in the Bakhmut theatre of battle began circulating on...

Documents reveal that the federal government and insurers incentivized healthcare providers in Kentucky and California to vaccinate Medicaid patients against COVID-19 by offering bonuses based on the percentage of patients successfully vaccinated. ... The federal government and insurers incentivized healthcare providers in Kentucky and California to vaccinate Medicaid patients against COVID-19 by offering bonuses based on the percentage of patients successfully vaccinated. “[This is] truly sickening and I am embarrassed for my profession by this,” Dr. Meryl Nass, an internist and biological warfare epidemiologist, wrote on her Substack, where she posted several documents relating to the COVID-19 vaccine provider incentive...

In the United States, we are reminded on a regular, often daily basis of the crucial need to give up our gas-guzzling vehicles and get an electric car or truck so we can save the planet or whatever. We hear it from everyone from the President to most of the cable news outlets. The day is coming sooner than you think! You need to be ready! We receive ominous warnings of bans on the sale of gas vehicles and penalties for those who fail to comply. So how is that working out so far? Are people rushing out to get...

A tractor-trailer caught fire in Richmond, Indiana, and spread to a plastics facility More than 2,000 people within a half-mile radius were asked to evacuate A huge plume of toxic black smoke was visible from more than 20 miles away An enormous inferno at a plastic manufacturing facility in Indiana sent a huge plume of toxic black smoke into the sky as more than 2,000 residents were ordered to evacuate their homes. The blaze, which is expected to keep burning for days, was caused by a tractor-trailer truck that caught fire, which in turn set alight a nearby building that...

The Biden White House is scrambling to conduct damage control as troves of classified materials about Russia and Ukraine were leaked online. Spokesperson John Kirby pleaded with the media not to cover these materials. That wasn’t heeded. But the overarching issue is mishandling classified materials and related leaks, which the liberal media tried to weaponize against Donald Trump when they raided Mar-a-Lago last summer. Then Joe Biden got caught leaving state secrets at multiple locations, including his Wilmington residence. The story met a quick death in the press and a slow-walking Department of Justice investigation that allegedly hung on the...

Last week House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed former New York County Special District Attorney Mark Pomerantz. Pomerantz left the office not long after Bragg took over, allegedly because he was upset that Bragg wouldn’t prosecute Trump. The subpoena from Jordan was ostensibly for oversight of Bragg’s behavior. Here’s a bit of the letter to Pomerantz from Rep. Jordan.…if state or local prosecutors are able to engage in politically motivated prosecutions of Presidents of the United States (current or former) for personal acts, this could have a profound impact on how Presidents choose to exercise their powers while in office....

After the past several years it should come as no surprise that intelligence agencies are not mere servants to their government masters, but rather sophisticated and nefarious political players of both the domestic and international political game.The history of the FBI and CIA meddling in domestic politics is long and not especially heartwarming. Despite being lionized by the media, “Deep Throat” was nothing more than a disaffected FBI bureaucrat named Mark Felt who despised Nixon because he didn’t get the promotion to FBI director he wanted. He started leaking right after he was passed over for the directorship after J....

Sen. Tim Scott is about to launch a 2024 presidential bid, according to a new report from political insider Cockburn over at The Spectator. The South Carolina Republican has been flirting with the move for months, and an official announcement is now expected sometime in the next week.Scott will be joining a quickly growing field of lower-tier candidates, all having very little justification for running in the face of the two-man race going on at the top between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. Presidential campaigns aren’t just about winning, though, and Scott may have other reasons for what he’s doing.🚨...
