The O’Keefe Media Group was informed in a statement by the Department of State that Arslan Akhtar, who had worked as a visa specialist for the agency, was “no longer employed by” the State Department. ==== “Sometimes I do say it to cab drivers that are from, like, Hispanic descent,” Akhtar says. “I’m like, ‘Don’t talk to the police.’ I’m just saying, like, don’t admit the truth. That is the ultimate loophole:...

“The job here is to enforce the federal civil rights laws, not woke ideology.” — Harmeet Dhillon, US Assistant AG for the Civil Rights Division. When a claque of deep state shills such as Norm Eisen, Chuck Schumer, Bill Kristol, David Brooks, and Larry Summers holler about Mr. Trump’s attempt to reform a depraved political culture as “an assault on norms,” are you not prompted to wonder what, exactly, those norms might be? Looks like they are describing a colossal matrix of racketeering operations in concert with an epic program of crypto-Marxist mind-[****]ery, mountains of money purloined under color-of-law, swindles...

VIDEOPoor Jamie Mannina. The guy just can't catch a break. He was caught on camera attempting to act like a pedo in 2021 by Predator DC. After he fled the scene of his public shame, he was very very lucky that he wasn't imprisoned. So after that experience, you would think he would keep a low profile and be very very careful in his interactions with members of the opposite sex who seem to show an interest in him because of the possibility of hidden cameras. So what happened? Four years later the very same Jamie Mannina got caught in...

VIDEO The very same Jamie Mannina who worked for the JCS at the Pentagon and as an FBI agent and recently exposed by James O'Keefe as part of his O'Keefe Media Group investigation was amazingly busted by DC Predator in 2021 as you can see here. They called him "Jamie" and his facial features most definitely line up with Mannina's. Also a voice match. The big question now is why did the Pentagon hire him with his known pedo background? Ditto the FBI.

VIDEO"There's a First Amendment in this country," asserts James O'Keefe when confronting Jamie Mannina, former advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon, former FBI Special Agent, and self-proclaimed “spy hunter,” after O'Keef eMedia released undercover footage showing Mannina admitting discussing plans with retired generals to ‘protect people from Trump.’When pressed by O’Keefe on his comments, Mannina became defensive, saying, "Get the f*** out of here," denying his statements by claiming, “I didn’t say anything,” despite O’Keefe presenting the video evidence."You’re on video saying these things," O’Keefe responded. O’Keefe pressed further, asking, “Do you think it's ethical… to...

"We call on all actors to avoid any actions, including the destruction of civilian property and infrastructure, that could jeopardize the cessation of hostilities," it continued.

Musk’s post caught the attention of the Secret Service after he questioned the lack of attempts on the lives of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” Musk wrote on X. The X owner then followed up with a reply to his own post, writing: “Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all...
