The following questions demand an answer. Why would our military commanders willingly give up Bagram, a strategic airport built by the Russians, and why would they willingly leave $85 billion in military hardware behind? Why would they leave thousands of Americans stranded behind enemy lines while providing the Taliban a "kill list" of those Americans left behind? Unlike previous withdrawals,...

IFP- While Iranian officials maintain that it is unlikely the Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) pipeline project becomes operational, Saudi Arabia has pledged to provide its investment and Taliban militants vowed to secure it. Taliban Spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the militants are ready to guarantee the security of TAPI Pipeline. Attending a ceremony to launch the project, he added Taliban is ready to secure the pipeline because it is a good project for Afghanistan’s economy, a report by the Persian-language Fars News Agency said. This comes as Hamid Reza Araqi, the CEO of Iran’s National Gas Company, says he is not optimistic about...

The FBI had knowledge that a second laptop had been stolen from Hunter Biden and that laptop contained material making the Biden family a national security risk, subject to Russian influence. ======================================================================================= The FBI knew as early as December 2019 that Hunter Biden believed Russians had stolen his laptop, which he believed made him vulnerable to blackmail because of compromising evidence on the laptop combined with his father’s presidential ambitions. This explosive revelation establishes that either Joe Biden lied to the American public, or the intelligence community lied to him. When The New York Post went public in October 2020...

A video clip shows Hunter Biden naked while recounting how he was passed out in a pool when a computer with recordings of him engaged in “crazy” sex acts was stolen — possibly for blackmail purposes, according to a report Wednesday.

Eric Greitens was last among major Republican candidates for Senate in second quarter fundraising, underscoring fears that the disgraced former governor will make Democrats competitive for the seat if he secures the nomination. Greitens’ campaign brought in about $449,000, well behind Attorney General Eric Schmitt, the fundraising frontrunner with $1.3 million. The latest campaign finance filing shows that major Missouri Republican donors continue to view him as toxic after he resigned in 2018 amid multiple scandals, including allegations of violent sexual abuse and blackmail.

I have proposed this Act because I fear that both Joe Biden and John Roberts are being coerced and I believe that we should not have a country run by blackmailers. SECTION 1 (1) The Congress of the United States declares that it necessary and proper to prevent top United States constitutional officers while in office from being blackmailed due to certain violations of state or federal law. (2) The Congress of the United States declares that it necessary and proper to try to prevent the selection process for top United States constitutional officers from being untimely waylaid due to...

UKRAINE has warned that it could build nuclear weapons to combat Russia if the West does not allow it to join NATO. This comes as Vladimir Putin has deployed tens of thousands of troops and tanks to the Ukrainian border in a worrying escalation of tensions. Ukraine was formerly a nuclear state with 176 ballistic missiles and 44 strategic bombers following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. However, the country agreed to eliminate its nukes in return for legally-binding security guarantees from Britain, the US and Russia. But with Putin threatening to invade, seven years after he annexed...

The man accused of trying to extort $25 million from Rep. Matt Gaetz’s family admitted Monday that he asked the congressman’s dad for cash — but denied that it was a shakedown. Bob Kent, an ex-Air Force intelligence officer, confirmed to Sirius Radio host Michael Smerconish that he approached the Florida Republican’s dad, Don Gaetz, for money last month. The funds, Kent said, were to pay for an effort to free Robert Levinson, a former FBI agent who disappeared in Iran in 2007, and is believed to be dead. Kent claimed he has video evidence that Levinson is still alive...

House impeachment managers closed their prosecution Thursday with a warning to Republican senators: If they vote to acquit former president Donald Trump, the blood will be on their hands when he unleashes political carnage again. “When” is the proper word, for, given Trump’s long pattern of inciting violent threats and actions, the next brutal outburst is not a question of “if.” “If we don’t draw the line here, what’s next?” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the lead impeachment manager, asked the senators. “Is there any political leader in this room who believes that, if he is ever allowed by the Senate...

Sen. Rand Paul says that a Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump that doesn’t include Chief Justice John Roberts would be an illegitimate process. “If Justice Roberts won’t preside over this sham ‘impeachment’ then why would it ever be considered legitimate?” the Kentucky Republican tweeted Friday. “Hint: It won’t be.” Later in the day, Paul joined Fox News’s Sean Hannity and elaborated on his impeachment stance, calling it an “illegitimate procedure” if Roberts isn’t there. “It isn’t a real impeachment. It’s going to be a fake, partisan impeachment,” Paul said about a process without Roberts. “The story is,”...

Twitter refused to take down widely shared pornographic images and videos of a teenage sex trafficking victim because an investigation “didn’t find a violation” of the company’s “policies,” a scathing lawsuit alleges. The federal suit, filed Wednesday by the victim and his mother in the Northern District of California, alleges Twitter made money off the clips, which showed a 13-year-old engaged in sex acts and are a form of child sexual abuse material, or child porn, the suit states. The teen — who is now 17 and lives in Florida — is identified only as John Doe and was between...

The Code of Georgia §21-2-570 provides that "Any person who gives or receives, offers to give or receive, or participates in the giving or receiving of money or gifts for the purpose of registering as a voter, voting, or voting for a particular candidate in any primary or election shall be guilty of a felony." Grand and petit juries of Georgians should consider Joe Biden's, Reverend Warnock's and Jon Ossoff's statements: "'By electing Jon and the Reverend, you can make an immediate difference in your own lives,' Biden said. 'Their election will put an end to the block in Washington...

Lin Wood has been making a lot of accusation against prominent politicians and leaders… and not just regarding the election. We are talking Voter Fraud, Dominion Voting Systems, Jeffrey Epstein, Sex Trafficking, Mike Pence, Chief Justice John Roberts and more. Most are calling him crazy and nothing more than a tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist… but now he claims to have video that proves his wildest accusations. What do we make of this? The accusations being made during this latest Twitter thread are so heinous and corrupt, yet would expose just how morally bankrupt those that run our nation truly are....

Attorney Lin Wood is quickly becoming the most controversial figure on the internet. His Twitter and Parler posts are both wildly popular and ridiculed. The QAnon crowd is torn between whether he’s schizophrenic or crazy like a fox. 4Chan debates about him are just as polarizing. His latest bombshell is either absolutely insane or the key to exposing the powers and principalities ruling this world. I have my own opinions about it, but for once I’m not going to express them. Rather, here is what he posted last night, unedited:

NEW: Senator Tom Cotton says he will support a commission to study the 2020 election and propose reforms, but will not oppose the counting of certified electoral votes because “the Founders entrusted our elections chiefly to the states—not Congress.”

by Laurie AzgardSome interesting tweets have come out now about the widespread Federal Judicial Corruption. It has gotten so convincing in all of their lies, fraud, junk, and abuse against criminal defendants and civil litigants are being praised by people like Zach Vorhie with his message attacking Stanley Bolten’s secondary Twitter account @BenGate61221661, the former Google employee who claimed to have blown the whistle. Yes, Zach Vorhies, through Direct Messaging had criticized and ATTACKED our blog articles, and claiming that Laurie and I are being inflammatory against these nice little tyrannical Judges who have violated their oaths of office publicly...
