A short time back, our editor-in-chief said that there had been a school shooting in Nashville, and asked if anyone would cover it. I wrote the first story about it for PJ Media. It wasn’t the first time I had ever written about human tragedy or cruelty. And I have hated doing it every time. I always feel like Judas collecting his 30 pieces of silver from someone else’s suffering. Be that as it may, the Nashville shooting mattered, and not just because it gave the Left more talking points about the evils of gun ownership. After all, if we...

Apparently, the only thing as strong as the get-Trump attitude of the deep state is the protect-Biden stance of the federal government. ... For years, our federal government has quietly operated a protect-Biden racket. The public, however, has only recently — and haphazardly — learned of the lengths federal law enforcement officials and government employees have gone to safeguard the Biden family secrets. Here are eight times our government squelched scandals. 1. Censoring the Hunter Biden Laptop Story.. The most recent and most well-known example of the feds protecting the Biden family stems from efforts by intelligence agencies to squelch...

Two people pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in New York in connection with the theft and sale of the diary and other items belonging to Ashley Biden, the daughter of President Joe Biden, court records show. The defendants, Aimee Harris, 40, and Robert Kurlander, 58, conspired to steal items from Florida and transport them over state lines in 2020, when Ashley’s father was the Democratic nominee for the White House, according to a charging document. The duo shopped the diary to the campaign of then-President Donald Trump, which told them to take it to the FBI, court records show.

@julie_kelly2 Now you know why the FBI is hunting down Ashley Biden’s diary.

A Floridian woman who found Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley’s private diary discarded in a half-way house in Palm Beach is being investigated by the FBI for selling the material. The diary contains some shocking content including Ashley revealing how she used to take showers with her father, the senator, Joe Biden as a little girl which she speculates could have resulted in her sex addiction: “I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate),” she wrote in a January 2019 entry. Ashley, 41, has struggled with drug addiction in the past, and...

Aimee Harris is under investigation for selling Ashley Biden's diary after the president's daughter left it behind at a Palm Beach 'halfway house' Previous reports claimed the Bidens reported it stolen in an alleged burglary, but DailyMail.com has learned Harris is not being investigated for theft 'It's her selling of the property that could be considered a crime. And the fact Ashley is the president's daughter kicks it to a different legal level,' a well-placed source said Harris, 39, moved into a Palm Beach home and found the diary under the mattress shortly after Ashley moved back to Philadelphia in...

In the Washington D.C. suburb of Alexandria, Va., carjackings have made the news lately. Thieves steal cars at Virginia gas stations and race across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge over the Potomac and into Maryland to relative safety. The Department of Justice doesn’t seem to be doing anything about enforcing the federal laws prohibiting transport of stolen goods across the Virginia-Maryland state line. If the carjacker was named James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, things would be very different. The saga of James O’Keefe’s quite possibly completely legal acquisition of Ashley Biden’s diary, and the resulting DOJ secret seizure of his emails...

Imagine if Trump’s FBI had raided The New York Times … for any reason. Let alone over an explosive diary left somewhere by, oh, Ivanka Trump accusing her father and family of all manner of sick behavior. Imagine they were raided, despite The New York Times not running the diary because they couldn’t independently verify it was legit. The uproar would be deafening. And the media would have every right to be enraged.Except today they are silent. Because the target was Project Veritas … and the diary belonged to Ashley Biden, Joe Biden’s daughter. Last week, Project Veritas reporters and...

This is one of those stories I meant to write about at the time, but didn't get the chance to before it got overwhelmed in our ever shorter news cycles. Back in November, Project Veritas (PV), and specifically James O'Keefe's home, was raided by the FBI. It was the typical predawn / multiple guns drawn shock and awe raid over PV having obtained what was allegedly the diary of Ashley Biden, the daughter of President* Biden. Veritas had been given the diary after being told that it had been abandoned by her at a rehab facility. For all that Veritas...

A report from The New York Times last week revealed how the conservative investigative journalism group Project Veritas got its hands on a diary written by President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden. The FBI raided the home of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe in November. According to a statement from O’Keefe, federal agents also searched the homes of other individuals tied to Project Veritas and took away materials. The investigation into how Project Veritas got the diary is still underway. The New York Times reported Thursday that it has found out how the diary reached Project Veritas — a story...

Judicial Watch announced today that it received a 6-page incident report and bodycam footage from the Delray Beach, FL, Police Department, detailing the turnover of records related to the diary and/or other property of Ashley Biden, daughter of President Joe Biden. According to the incident report, an attorney turned in “possibly stolen luggage” to the Delray Beach PD which contained “documents and envelopes in folders” with the name Ashley Biden. The Delray Beach PD included bodycam footage of an attorney handing over the items. The Delray Beach PD also noted in the incident report that the FBI had said it...

The judge in the defamation suit filed by Project Veritas against the New York Times has ordered the paper to provide justification for their publishing of privileged documents that the New York Times allegedly received from either the FBI or Department of Justice. These documents were allegedly acquired by federal law enforcement officials in several pre-dawn raids on the homes of Project Veritas reporters just last week. The New York Times published these documents, despite already being embroiled in a defamation lawsuit with Project Veritas. Harmeet Dhillon, a well-known constitutional rights attorney who represents Project Veritas, tweeted the news just...

Several observers have pointed out the terrible optics and even worse legal and cultural implications of the FBI’s raids earlier this month on three undercover journalists’ homes. Since the reporters’ organization, Project Veritas, is a political opponent of the American regime, the raids echo government behavior in unfree countries such as Russia, China, and Turkey.Yet there’s another, less remarked, aspect to this story. It’s the raids’ effect of protecting a longtime, top-tier deep state information operations partner, The New York Times.Project Veritas is a threat to The New York Times, not only in some of its undercover reporting about Times...

Ashley Biden, Joe Biden’s daughter, apparently left her diary behind or someone stole it from her and it was problematic for Joe Biden, both in terms of allegations concerning Ashley and Hunter. Project Veritas was offered the diary and decided against publishing it, but another conservative site, The National File, did publish it. James O’Keefe of Project Veritas turned it over to law enforcement. However, on Sunday, after raiding the homes of two of his journalists and taking their notes and documents. The raid on O’Keefe’s home was a pre-dawn raid. The FBI shone white lights in his face, threw...

A week and a half before the 2020 election, National File broke the story after a Project Veritas whistleblower provided a digital copy of Ashley Biden’s diary to journalist Patrick Howley. Today, the FBI searched two addresses in New York related to Project Veritas in an apparent attempt to gain information about how the diary was acquired, admitting that Ashley Biden reported the diary stolen in the process when the story was then broken by the New York Times. The Project Veritas whistleblower told National File that the diary was found at an address where Ashley Biden used to stay.

George Washington University law professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley said Monday that the FBI's investigation into the alleged theft of a diary belonging to President Biden's daughter's raises "legitimate concern" over the first family's connection to the bureau. The FBI on Sunday raided the home of Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe as part of a federal investigation into the "stolen" diary of President Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden. The New York Times reported the raid took place early Saturday morning just days after the homes of two Project Veritas associates were also the subject of search warrants. "Why would...

A copy of the diary of US President Joe Biden’s daughter has reportedly been confirmed as genuine. The FBI has raided multiple homes as part of an investigation into its alleged theft, media reported. * * * Reporter Patrick Howley says he has obtained a copy of the diary of Ashley Biden, daughter of Democrat Presidential nominee Joe Biden, in which she allegedly describes “showers with my dad” which were “probably not appropriate.”

Last night several reporters for Project Veritas had their homes raided by the FBI. The government wanted this information to be kept secret but James O'Keefe published this video anyway. James indicates this may have something to do with a copy of Ashley Biden's diary that was offered to Project Veritas. Supposedly the diary was misplaced and then found by a third party. Project Veritas could not confirm the diary's authenticity so they never ran a story on it and gave it to law enforcement to have it returned. (Why is the FBI investigating a lost diary?) Now they are...

By a quirk of fate, I spent the day before Halloween researching for and writing this article—on exorcism. (I trust that the timing was, as they say, “coincidental”). Sophia Institute Press, the publishers of the just-released book, Diary of an American Exorcist , had asked me to review it; being no expert in but naturally finding such a topic fascinating, I agreed, and also ended up briefly interviewing its author, Stephen J. Rossetti, a Catholic priest and licensed psychologist. You might be happy to know that carving a jack-o-lantern or taking your kids trick-or-treating are, overall, safe occupations, according to...

Ghislaine Maxwell wants to get her hands on the diary of a teenage girl who says she was sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein in 1996. On Friday, a federal court in New York City nixed that request. The alleged accomplice to the dead pedophile’s elite empire of sexual abuse has been trying to obtain Annie Farmer‘s teenage diary since early April of this year. U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan barred a subpoena request for the diary aimed at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP in late April but held open the possibility that it could eventually be produced - asking the...
