3 predawn raids this week in Albuquerque, NM; Henderson, TN; and, Provo, UT. Now 3 people are all dead because they thought they could talk shit about Biden (pro-tip, you can’t the FBI will kill you). The federal government doesn’t even hide it any more. They’ll ruby ridge you for saying mean things on the internet about their president. You should definitely watch this:

How 177 arrests led to no convictions — a tangled, seven-year tale of prosecutorial hubris and tenacious defense. Citing pending civil lawsuits, Reyna declined to speak on the record for this article, but he vigorously denied all the charges made in the affidavits secured by Broden, and he disputed The Tribune-Herald’s characterization of his actions. In the end, his primary wasn’t even close: Johnson defeated him by nearly 20 points. Before his term ended, Reyna would dismiss all but 24 of the bikers’ cases, with Johnson dismissing the final two dozen in April 2019. Carrizal was the only biker to...

The address was off by a single letter.Losing a beloved fury family member can be tough on anyone. It's even worse when that death was caused by a police officer who was sent to the wrong address. That's exactly what happened to a family's dog in Waco on Saturday, June 3. “The Waco Police Department is saddened by the unfortunate shooting resulting in the death of Finn, a beloved pet,” the Waco Police Department wrote in a Facebook post. The incident occurred after a call of a reported break in. While dispatchers correctly entered in the address, it autocorrected to...

Streamed live 21 hours ago: Donald Trump gave his first rally of the 2024 Republican presidential campaign. “You will be vindicated and proud,” Trump said “The thugs and criminals who are corrupting our justice system will be defeated, discredited and totally disgraced.” The rally event at the airport grounds in Waco began his effort by former President Trump to use the potential to maintain his status as the GOP frontrunner. A grand jury hearing the case is expected to meet again on Monday.Trump said the Manhattan district attorney was investigating him "for something that is not a crime, not a...

VIDEONotice how the written reports pretending a low crowd size of President Donald Trump's Waco rally never seem to have video or photographic evidence of their erroneous assertion? Well, I finally did discover one brave but foolish Laughing Liberal who dared to show video of that rally. However, it was all too obvious that he actually showed video EARLY in the rally WAY BEFORE Trump showed up. This is not a new FAKE NEWS technique. It has been done before in which liberals show the rally HOURS BEFORE its scheduled start in order to "prove" low attendance. As you can...

Three decades ago to the day, the Waco siege came to a tragic end. It shares its gruesome anniversary with another horrific event, that of the Oklahoma City bombing, but what do we remember about what happened in the Texas city also known for the birthplace of Dr Pepper, the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.What happened in the Waco siege?The siege occurred in 1993 when the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) attempted to execute a search warrant at the Mount Carmel Center ranch, which was the home of...

What is a cult? What isn't a cult? Reverend Jim Jones and his Marxist-Leninist People's Temple at the intersection of Jesus and Lenin one example. Jones fancying himself a bit of both seemed to fit the description once the "Kool Aid was passed" and innocent people were gunned down in Guyana back in 1978. In the Conservative Christian subculture I experienced a doctrinal clarity that meant questioning other religious groups from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to the Seventh Day Adventists not to mention Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims. Then there was the Unification Church of Reverend Moon...

(Warning: The Following May Be Offensive) Having grown up with too much pornography in the picture, the notion of a lesbian was inevitably associated with extreme sex acts I found repulsive early in my life less so as the porn proliferated and I consumed it. In the religious subculture at the university I went to I remember a woman resembling Rachel Maddow was in the picture... I've learned over the decades that my lesbian friends and acquaintances have stories of being hurt including sexual harm done to them. Child abuse is also a part of their experience including sexual abuse....

Donald Trump has claimed Manhattan's DA has dropped a criminal probe into a hush money payment to a porn star, a week after claiming he'd be arrested within days. The former president told a small group of reporters aboard his private jet Saturday night that prosecutors would have had no choice but to give up in the face of recent evidence. With an open necked shirt and bottle of Diet Coke by his side, Trump cut a relaxed figure as he traveled back from the first rally of his campaign in Waco, Texas - and grew angry at any suggestion...

Former President Donald Trump took aim at potential Republican primary foe Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during a recent campaign event, with much of the criticism garnering little enthusiasm from those in attendance.During his Saturday campaign event in Waco, Texas, on Saturday, Trump argued that DeSantis had little chance of becoming Florida's governor without the former president's endorsement, with Trump breaking into an impersonation of DeSantis allegedly begging him for his support in the state's 2018 Republican primary."So, he came, and he really wanted [my endorsement]. I said, ‘You can’t win, can you? How do you – can [you] win?'" Trump...

Patriot Front is a white supremacist group that may or may not be another proxy for the Deep State. While the group is clearly an actual white supremacist organization, it’s unknown to what degree the Feds have infiltrated them. One thing seems certain: They’re targeting Trump supporters in an effort to discredit them through association. The group makes headlines every time they appear at conservative events, and while they’re generally ridiculed by patriots, their presence is used as another tool for corporate media to disparage the right.

It’s been 30 years since the ATF-FBI siege on the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas in 1993. The government siege led to a massacre of 76 people including 25 children. The deadly assault on David Koresh’s Branch Davidian compound took place from February 28 through April 19, 1993, over suspected weapons violations. The ATF had attempted to raid the compound and a gun battle ensued, leaving four government agents and six Branch Davidians dead. For the next 50 days, the government would use psychological warfare, such as playing the sound of animals being slaughtered, until ultimately the compound was...

US government agents had been tipped off about the cult by a postal driver alarmed by the number of guns he had been delivering to the group's headquarters. Special agent Davy Aguilera had concluded that the Branch Davidians had been illegally converting AR-15 rifles from semi-automatic to automatic weapons, without applying for the required licences or paying the taxes due. Spooked by rumours that cult members were planning a mass suicide at Passover, amid reports of child abuse against under-age girls, ATF agents began in July 1992 to lay the groundwork for the biggest operation in the agency's history. The...

The sign in the background was just the icing on the cake: And the two Texans who shook hands while the perp was being cuffed by the police.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined Monday to consider an appeal by the city of Waco and McLennan County in lawsuits filed by bikers arrested in the 2015 Twin Peaks shootout that left nine bikers dead and 20 injured. Attorneys for the defendants asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review an April decision by a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that reinstated the lawsuits of about 90 bikers whose civil rights cases were dismissed last year by U.S. District Judge Alan Albright of Waco. The federal appeals court panel reversed an Albright ruling that held a...
