Four years ago, I was reporting from the southern U.S. border when construction on the border wall was abruptly halted overnight after former President Joe Biden took office. Now, with President Donald Trump starting a second term, I headed back to the Arizona-Mexico border to report on what’s happening at ground zero under Trump 2.0. As dark fell, I was with Deputy Dan Brennan of the Criminal Interdiction Team in Cochise County, Arizona, when he spotted a rental car from Oregon with travel history – documented through an elaborate tracking system – that seemed suspicious. It turned out to be...

Never-before-released details of the behind-the-scenes investigationsHow it Started“Reeeeeeeee.”The noise is coming from my personal Apple desktop computer in the small office adjacent to my bedroom. It’s starting up.On its own.“Reeeeeeeee…chik chik chik chik,” says the computer as it shakes itself awake.The electronic sounds stir me from sleep. I squint my eyes at the clock radio on the table next to the bed. The numbers blink back: “3:14 a.m.”Only a day earlier, my CBS-issued Toshiba laptop, perched at the front of my bed, had whirred to life on its own, untouched by human hands. What time was that?I think it was...

Now as [Trump and Biden] are squaring up for a possible rematch, we set out to learn whether any documented irregularities emerged after the dust settled in 2020. Our Full Measure investigation found dozens of instances where there were election problems or errors that typically favored Biden. Today, we highlight a few notable cases and dissect how voter fraud can happen. - - - In Wisconsin, absentee ballot drop boxes used in 2020 were illegally approved by the elections commission, according to the state supreme court. Had that ruling come before the election, it could have had a big impact:...

The forty-two seconds of the Rumble video embedded below are truly shocking. Courageous journalist Sharly Attkisson testifies to a congressional hearing about the depths to which the FBI has sunk in its attempts to discredit one of its most effective critics. In case you don’t know, while she was working as a reporter for CBS, Ms. Attkisson’s work and home computers were invaded and taken over by the FBI, evidently because she had incurred their ire over her reporting. You can watch the CBS report on the incursion here: (youtube video at link, this is not the referenced Rumble video)...

[H/T Jayster ]ransomnote: I found this video interview wide-ranging, informative and quite enjoyable to watch. In my opinion, Attkisson contributes comprehensive and detailed insights in an accessible manner not found elsewhere. The video is one hour in duration and worth every minute.Rumble — “Virtually every piece of information that can be co-opted has been, whether it’s Wikipedia online, fact-checkers, the news,” says five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson. “This is all part of a very well-funded, well-organized landscape that dictates and slants the information they want us to have.”Attkisson is the host of Full Measure and author of “Slanted:...

Five-time Emmy award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson said she has seen an increased effort to manipulate the public to appreciate censorship and disapprove of journalism. One of the strategies that has been employed is the use of third-party fact-checkers, she said.“Nearly every mode of information has been co-opted, if it can be co-opted by some group, [and] fact-checkers are no different,” Attkisson told EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders.”“Either they’ve been co-opted, in many instances, or created for the purpose of distributing narratives and propaganda,” said Attkisson. “This is all part of a very well-funded, well-organized landscape that dictates and slants the information...

More than half of voters say they worry about side effects from Covid-19 vaccines. More than half also say they don't think the federal government should have the power to force vaccination. That's according to a recent survey by Rasmussen Reports. According to the results, 54% of likely U.S. voters say they are concerned about Covid-19 vaccine side effects. Among them, 27% report being "very concerned." Another 44% say they are not concerned about vaccine side effects. That includes 19% who report they are "not at all" concerned."

Biden’s mask choices do seem sort of … weird. And convenient. And political. Sharyl Attkisson was good enough to do her ‘reporterly’ duties and point out Biden’s strange behavior with the mask: President Biden is wearing a mask outside. He walks up to press corps, takes down the mask, and talks to them. Please explain the purpose of the mask. 😶 — Sharyl Attkisson🕵️‍♂️ (@SharylAttkisson) October 2, 2021 She even said please. Of course, they won’t answer her because they don’t really know why the old guy does and doesn’t wear it. Like Brit Hume said: No one can, least...

Research shows the U.S. had reached what some scientists believed to be "herd immunity" status against Covid-19 last May, with more than 80% of the population immune to Covid either through natural infection or vaccination. And the actual number of immune Americans may be higher. That's because the new study, funded by the Centers or Disease Control (CDC), factored in only 20% of the population as being protected through natural infection after recovering from Covid-19. But over three months ago, CDC estimated the naturally-infected population to be substantially higher: more than 120 million or 36%. And after the spread of...

Israelis who were vaccinated were reportedly 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection.. According to reports from Israel: recovered Covid patients are "far less likely to become infected" than vaccinated people. That data comes from Israel's Health Ministry regarding the country's latest wave of the pandemic. The data reportedly shows: 7,700 new cases of Covid during wave starting in May.. 3,000+ (40%) were reported in people who had been vaccinated.. 72 (<1%) were reported in people previously infected.. According to reports, 835,792 Israelis are known to have recovered from Covid. So 72 reinfections...

The Republican audit of Maricopa County, Arizona 2020 election ballots has already turned up "three serious issues." According to a letter from Karen Fann, President of the Arizona State Senate, sent to the Maricopa Board of Supervisors, the county continues to flout valid, legislative subpoenas, refusing to hand over virtual images of routers. The county has also allegedly failed to provide the passwords necessary to access vote tabulation devices for the audit.

There, unarmed and still wearing the cape, Babbitt started to climb through a broken window and was shot dead by a plainclothes Capitol Police lieutenant. Terrell Roberts: She's not brandishing a weapon, so he's shooting an unarmed individual who is not assaulting him or threatening him. Attorney Terry Roberts represents Babbitt’s husband, Aaron. Sharyl: A prevailing sentiment that I've read is, these were insurrectionists who were going to threaten people's lives and they deserved, or she deserved what she got. Terrell Roberts: So for someone to say, "Well, she got what she deserved." without understanding what the law is, is...

The traditional media has sacrificed fact-based reporting in favor of promoting its own social and political agenda, says Sharyl Attkisson, author of the new book “Slanted: How the News Media Taught Us to Love Censorship and Hate Journalism.” Attkisson, host of the TV show “Full Measure” and a five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist, joins the podcast to explain how the deterioration of fact-based journalism began. From reporting on Black Lives Matter to the 2020 election, media outlets have become consumed with promoting a specific narrative, even if it means censoring the truth.

The following information is excerpted from a lawsuit filed in Detroit, Michigan. Defendants systematically processed and counted ballots from voters whose name failed to appear in either the Qualified Voter File (QVF) or in the supplemental sheets. When a voter’s name could not be found, the election worker assigned the ballot to a random name already in the QVF to a person who had not voted. Defendants instructed election workers to not verify signatures on absentee ballots, to backdate absentee ballots, and to process such ballots regardless of their validity. After election officials announced the last absentee ballots had been...

1 The Sky Didn’t Fall The stock market didn’t crash upon Trump’s election. He didn’t ban Muslims. He didn’t put illegal immigrants on trains and send them back to Mexico. He didn’t start a nuclear war. In fact, a number of Trump’s policies and approaches largely worked as he promised. Some of those who didn’t support him in 2016 because they believed the dire forecasts have now come aboard the Trump train. 2 Trump Now Has a Track Record Unlike in 2016, Trump now has a performance record to judge him by. No longer the complete “wild card,” he did...

If anyone was surprised by the nonsensical lie being pushed by The Atlantic, they shouldn’t have been. The story, from “anonymous sources” claimed that President Donald Trump didn’t want to visit an American cemetery in France because he said dead military members “losers” and “suckers.” Anyone reading that would know it was fake and it was immediately debunked from all quarters by people willing to go on the record. But it sounded a lot more like the offensive way that the left depicts the military. The fact that such an obviously false story would be pushed shows how desperate they...
