EXCLUSIVE: Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler scrubbed mention of a meeting with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and key details of a meeting with billionaire Democratic donor George Soros from the public version of his calendar. Gensler's public calendar showed that he only had a staff meeting on Aug. 7, 2021 while his private calendar lists a meeting with Clinton, according to a Fox News Digital review. And on Aug. 20, 2021, his public calendar lists a meeting with Soros, but hid the meeting's agenda which his private calendar shows was to discuss a forthcoming Wall...

Via TGP’s Brian Lupo who is covering the trial from Tampa 1st Update (first day in the court room but the trial’s 2nd day…special thanks to “Jeremy Brown’s Campaign” for filling me in this morning and during breaks) The trial of political prisoner Jeremy Brown has been underway since Monday with jury selection, however, the fireworks began to fly immediately on Tuesday and Wednesday! The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the retired Army Green Beret’s CCTV footage of federal agents offering him a paid informant job on January 6th at his home in December 2020. Brown is asking others to...

"Other than coming forward about Joe Biden, there would be no reason for" the subpoena, Reade said. The Justice Department reportedly subpoenaed Twitter for information about Tara Reade's accounts in 2020 after she alleged that then-Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden sexually assaulted her when she was a Senate aide in 1993, newly released documents show. The agency demanded that Twitter testify before a grand jury in December 2020 to provide "all subscriber information" from Reade's accounts, according to documents reviewed Friday by the Daily Caller. The subpoena asked for information on Reade's handles, such as @ReadeAlexandra and @TaraMcCabe, along with...

Gregg is joined by cybersecurity attorney Brian Finch. Just weeks before the presidential contest in 2020, the surfacing of Hunter Biden’s laptop posed a mortal threat to Joe Biden’s chances of getting elected. Incriminating emails contained therein offered compelling evidence that the father was complicit in his son’s elaborate influence peddling schemes involving nefarious foreign actors who were paying millions of dollars for access and promises of favors. So, the Biden campaign team and Democratic operatives —with a key assist from partisans at the FBI— applied pressure on the social media giant Twitter to block the story. The predominantly liberal...

udicial Watch this month obtained documents revealing that the Secret Service has repeatedly changed its story about whether it has records related to Hunter Biden’s gun. On October 23, 2018, Joe Biden’s crackhead son Hunter and daughter-in-law Hallie were involved in yet another brush with the law, this time the incident involved a gun. Recall, Hunter Biden began “dating” his dead brother’s widow Hallie in 2018, because that’s how the trashy Biden family rolls. In October of 2018, Hallie took Hunter Biden’s handgun from his truck without his knowledge and threw it into a trash can behind Janssen’s Market, a...

A Big Tech lawsuit has uncovered one of the most disturbing revelations yet about social media companies’ collusion with law enforcement agencies to police speech on the Internet. A former FBI agent, Elvis Chan, revealed during the court hearings that the bureau held weekly meetings with major social media companies prior to the 2020 and 2022 elections. On Wednesday, the court transcript of former FBI agent Elvis Chan’s testimony was released and corroborated earlier reports. “Mr. Chan, or Agent Chan, who do you recall on the social media platform side participating in these — in these working group meetings that...

The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms is reportedly planning to destroy a number of firearms from Operation Fast and Furious ten years after the scandal took place. In a letter to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach, incoming House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is asking that the firearms be preserved. "Yesterday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) notified us that it intends to destroy the firearms associated with the botched Operation Fast and Furious. I strongly urge you to reconsider this decision and request that you preserve this evidence," Jordan wrote. "Although the ATF apparently intends to...

A top FBI official has stepped down just as House Republicans have announced plans to investigate recent operations and actions at the bureau. Attributing the decision to wanting to spend more time with his family, he added, “Deciding to retire was not easy, it is extremely difficult to say farewell to the mission and the wonderful people I work with, but in making my decision I knew it is time to hand the reins over to the next generation of FBI employees.” News of D’Antuono’s retirement comes just weeks after Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee named him as one...

It was just a matter of time before the January 6th committee did what it was always going to do. Namely, announce criminal referrals in relation to the unrest at the Capitol following the 2020 election.On Tuesday, Chairman Bennie Thompson made it official, telling reporters that referrals were on the way and would be submitted as a separate document from the committee’s report.House January 6 committee has decided to make criminal referrals, chairman says https://t.co/esCgI5qvlk— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) December 6, 2022Thompson didn’t announce exactly who the criminal referrals will target, but it’s not exactly a secret that Donald Trump...

The Twitter Files released by Elon Musk give us a more fine-grained understanding of how and why the social media company decided to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story. This was a woefully stupid decision. The New York Post’s account was suspended for two weeks for the offense of coming up with a scoop that we are still talking about and that will surely play a large role in upcoming GOP investigations into Biden family corruption. That’s the kind of thing that newspapers should get awards for; Twitter thought it should get punished for it. But the Twitter officials caught...

VIDEOThus far there has been NO APOLOGY from PBS correspondent Nick Schifrin for spreading DISINFORMATION about the Hunter Biden laptop. Watch Nick Schifrin spread FAKE NEWS about the laptop in October 2020. Nick, you need to PROFUSELY APOLOGIZE for spreading DISINFORMATION that resulted in ELECTION INTERFERENCE or quit the journalism business, preferably both.

(NewsNation) - The Department of Homeland Security is warning of rising threats in the coming months. A report from DHS referred to a heightened threat environment, with risks of domestic terror attacks committed by lone-wolf actors or groups motivated by personal grievances and violent ideologies. The report, which comes ahead of the holiday season, said potential targets include public gatherings, religious institutions, government facilities, schools and the LGBTQ+ community. The agency also warned of possible attacks against the media, critical infrastructure and perceived ideological opponents. **SNIP** DHS pointed to an uptick in extremist content online as well as recent attacks...

Supervisors in San Francisco voted Tuesday to give city police the ability to use potentially lethal, remote-controlled robots in emergency situations — following an emotionally charged debate that reflected divisions on the politically liberal board over support for law enforcement. The vote was 8-3, with the majority agreeing to grant police the option despite strong objections from civil liberties and other police oversight groups. Opponents said the authority would lead to the further militarization of a police force already too aggressive with poor and minority communities. Supervisor Connie Chan, a member of the committee that forwarded the proposal to the...

San Francisco police have come up with a new policy allowing them to kill suspects using robots – a first for the city and a potential milestone in law enforcement’s deepening relationship with machines. The policy, part of a broader set of rules around use of law enforcement equipment, is set to go before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Nov. 29, Mission Local reported. Robots under the policy would “only be used as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and outweighs any other force...

Once Twitter passed out of Leftist control, when billionaire Elon Musk purchased it and took it private, activist companies and pressure groups sprang into action to isolate the social media platform. They are now taking a victory lap over driving 50 major advertisers off the popular platform in protest of its new pro-free-speech policies.On Tuesday, left-wing media monitor Media Matters published an article misleadingly called “In less than a month, Elon Musk has driven away half of Twitter’s top 100 advertisers.” In fact, of the 50 companies listed in the article, a mere seven “issued a statement or was publicly...

'Missing' ABC producer James Gordon Meek has emerged from hiding – but refuses to discuss the mysterious FBI raid that brought his storied journalism career to an abrupt halt. **SNIP** The magazine alleged that agents spent ten minutes inside Meek's top-floor pad and found a laptop containing classified information, citing 'sources familiar with the matter' – but friends and former colleagues of the popular, well-regarded reporter say that doesn't add up. They point out that ABC has not made any legal intervention, nor voiced its support for the star correspondent, who is said to have cited 'personal reasons' for abruptly...

“Gaslighting” — behavior that’s mind manipulating, grossly misleading, downright deceitful — is Merriam-Webster’s word of the year. Lookups for the word on merriam-webster.com increased 1,740% in 2022 over the year before. But something else happened. There wasn’t a single event that drove significant spikes in curiosity, as it usually goes with the chosen word of the year. The gaslighting was pervasive. “It’s a word that has risen so quickly in the English language, and especially in the last four years, that it actually came as a surprise to me and to many of us,” said Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s editor at...

Google provided the FBI with the locations of 5,723 cellphones near the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, court records show.

In another liberal lie, the violent left wants to portray conservative God, country, and family-loving Americans as violent.It was reported last week that the corrupt Maricopa Board of Supervisors inserted a meeting this morning in Phoenix to certify the uncertifiable 2022 election in the county.

"Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake." Carlo Cipolla In the 1970s, an economic historian called Carlo Cipolla wrote a provocative article titled "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity". This week's episode is about his theory of the destructiveness of stupid behaviour and why it is so underestimated and misunderstood.
