REVEALED: The Secret, D.C. Uniparty Summit to Stop Donald Trump

By: Raheem Kassam, National Pulse, June 15, 023:

Top Democrats and former Republicans met at a Washington, D.C. think tank in early June 2023 to discuss election interference strategies to block former President Donald J. Trump’s return to the White House, according to a report in the Washington Post.

The meeting is said to have included recent Biden White House chief of staff Ron Klain, Democratic National Committee senior advisor Cedric L. Richmond, as well as Stephanie Cutter, a former campaign adviser to Barack Obama who has also worked with Biden.

“They were joined by former senators Doug Jones (D-Ala.), Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), along with representatives of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, former Weekly Standard publisher Bill Kristol and Lucy Caldwell, a former Republican consultant who now advises the independent Forward Party, according to people present at the event, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the event was private,” reports the Post.

In total, there were around 40 people in the room, with others – such as Obama 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina, former Howard Dean 2004 campaign manager Joe Trippi, Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright, Investing in U.S. co-founder Dmitri Mehlhorn and Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen – connecting in by Zoom.

The meeting even included Hilltop Public Solutions partner Patrick Dillon, the former Obama White House deputy political director who is married to current Biden White House deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon.

In 2019/20, a similar group named the “Transition Integrity Project” was convened, featuring stars from Soros world, as well as John Podesta, and even China-linked individuals. The group “war-gamed” a scenario in which Trump declared victory, but Biden’s vote totals continued to climb overnight. Podesta, playing Biden in the war game, then convinced states to offer up competing electors.

Chinese Intel Arm Quietly Operates ‘Service Centers’ In 7 US Cities

/in , , , , , , /by

A Chinese intelligence agency quietly operates “service centers” in seven American cities, all of which have had contact with Beijing’s national police authority, according to state media reports and government records reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) United Front Work Department (UFWD) — which at least one U.S. government commission has characterized as a “Chinese intelligence service” — operates so-called “Overseas Chinese Service Centers” (OCSCs) that are housed within various U.S.-based nonprofits. OCSCs were ostensibly set up to promote Chinese culture and assist Chinese citizens living abroad, according to Chinese government records.

State media reports, Chinese government records and social media posts show that during a 2018 trip to China, U.S.-based OCSC representatives met with Ministry of Public Security (MPS) officials. During the meeting, state security officials demonstrated how they’re leveraging new technology to conduct “cross-border remote justice services” overseas.

MPS is China’s national police authority and has been referred to as “China’s FBI” by China experts. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says MPS also conducts covert “intelligence and national security operations far beyond China’s borders,” including “illicit, transnational repression schemes” on U.S. soil.

In April 2023, the DOJ charged two men for allegedly opening a secret police station in New York on behalf of MPS in order to “monitor and intimidate dissidents” and others critical of China.

There’s no evidence U.S.-based service centers operate as, or house, secret police stations, and the DOJ has yet to mention these entities in any statements or legal filings. Nonetheless, OCSCs’ association with China’s United Front system and contact with MPS raised red flags for legal and intelligence experts.

“The national security threat is real,” Will Mackie, a career federal prosecutor and former trial attorney for the counterintelligence section of the DOJ’s National Security Division, told the DCNF.

“Simply put, we should know which foreign government agents — including ‘unofficial’ actors — are operating in our country for whatever reason,” Mackie said, adding that American nonprofits performing Chinese governmental duties is “inconsistent” with diplomatic protocol, if not “illegal.”

After an extensive review of Chinese government and state-run media reports, the DCNF identified OCSC branches in San Francisco, California; Houston, Texas; Omaha, Nebraska; St. Paul, Minnesota; Salt Lake City, Utah; St. Louis, Missouri and Charlotte, North Carolina.

GOP lawmakers expressed serious concern over OCSCs operating within the U.S.

“These centers aren’t there to help people get a business license or help resolve a domestic dispute,” Utah Republican Rep. Chris Stewart, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told the DCNF. “They’re here to pressure, to use coercion and to use malicious influence.”

Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn told the DCNF it was a “direct violation of our nation’s sovereignty” for the CCP to “set up shop on our soil to threaten, surveil and kidnap Chinese American citizens with a dissenting opinion.”

‘Eight Great Plans’

The “service centers” are at the heart of a larger CCP global influence strategy known as “The Eight Great Plans For Benefiting Overseas Chinese,” which was first announced during a 2014 speech by Qiu Yuanping, then the director of the Chinese government’s Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.

According to Chinese government documents and reports from China experts, the UFWD took control of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office in 2018. The U.S.-China Economic Security and Review Commission describes the UFWD as the CCP organ “responsible for coordinating [foreign and domestic] influence operations” as well as a “Chinese intelligence service.”

UFWD’s “overseas Chinese work” aims to “co-opt ethnic Chinese individuals and communities living outside China, while a number of other key affiliated organizations guided by China’s broader United Front strategy conduct influence operations targeting foreign actors and states,” according to the commission.

The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office Director Chen Xu also serves as the UFWD’s deputy director, according to the Chinese government. Qiaowang reported Chen Xu spoke at a conference held in Beijing in May that included OCSC officials from around the world. The conference was jointly sponsored by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, a key united front group, according to China experts.

“In the next five years, relying on overseas Chinese organizations that have the public’s trust, we will guide and support the construction of Overseas Chinese Service Centers in cities where overseas Chinese are concentrated and where there’s an urgent need for constructing harmonious overseas Chinese communities,” Qiu Yuanping said in her 2014 speech.

Shortly thereafter, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office provided the initial funding to establish OCSC branches around the world and tasked them with a variety of seemingly mundane duties in support of China’s foreign ministry, according to Chinese state-run media and government reports. Duties range from processing Chinese passport and travel permit applications to so-called “consular protection” activities that include emergency, medical and disaster response work, according to reports.

Despite this directive, a Chinese Embassy spokesperson told the DCNF that the centers are simply formed by “warm-hearted” volunteers and have no “affiliation with any Chinese government agency.”

Since 2014, OCSCs have expanded to at least 60 locations worldwide, according to multiple reports from Qiaowang, a Chinese news service that acts as a propaganda arm for the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.

Qiaowang reports also reveal the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office’s efforts to establish service centers in at least seven U.S. cities.

In September 2014, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office held the first of four annual awards ceremonies in Beijing for OCSC branches, according to Qiaowang. During the ceremony, the Chinese American Association of Commerce in San Francisco, California was announced as the first U.S. OCSC branch, Qiaowang reported.

The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office announced in 2015 the Chinese Civic Center in Houston, Texas, would also house an OCSC, a Chinese state-run media outlet reported. Qiu Yuanping personally attended the grand opening of the Houston OCSC in February 2016, according to the Chinese government.

In September 2016, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office unveiled more OCSC locations, including one in Omaha, Nebraska, Qiaowang reported. The Omaha OCSC is housed within the Nebraska Chinese Association, according to Qiaowang.

The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office also announced the Chinese American Association of Minnesota in St. Paul would house an OCSC branch in 2016. The group’s co-director received a commemorative plaque in October 2016, according to Qiaowang.

In September 2017, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office announced the final batch of service centers, including one in Salt Lake City, Utah, according to Qiaowang. The Salt Lake City OCSC is located within the Utah Chinese Civic Center, according to the group’s website. The Utah Chinese Civic Center’s website also states that it hosts an OCSC that’s “licensed” by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.

The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office also established an OCSC in St. Louis, Missouri, according to Qiaowang. The St. Louis service center is located within the Chinese Education and Culture Center, and a top Chinese consulate official from Chicago attended the branch’s opening ceremony, according to the consulate’s website.

The final U.S. OCSC location announced during the 2017 ceremony was in Charlotte, North Carolina, according to Qiaowang. The Charlotte OCSC is housed within the Carolinas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, according to a report from Qiaowang.

The Chinese American Association of Commerce, the Chinese Civic Center in Utah, the Chinese American Association of Minnesota and the St. Louis Chinese Education and Culture Center did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

A receptionist at Houston’s Chinese Civic Center confirmed the organization hosted a “Chinese service center” in a phone call with the DCNF. Similarly, a woman who only identified herself as an “associate” of the Nebraska Chinese Association confirmed the organization housed a “Chinese center” while speaking with the DCNF.

When the DCNF called the Carolinas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, a man who identified himself as a “founding member” of the Charlotte “Chinese service center” answered the phone. He confirmed the service center was housed within the Charlotte-based nonprofit.

‘Overseas Chinese Police Contact Points’

Chinese government records and state-run media reports reveal that U.S.-based OCSC representatives met with officials from China’s Ministry of Public Security. The FBI has accused the ministry of conducting “transnational repression” schemes in the U.S. targeting Chinese dissidents and human rights activists.

MPS’ most notorious transnational repression scheme is operation Fox Hunt. The operation uses “unsanctioned, unilateral and illegal practices, including coercion, extortion and intimidation” to “forcibly repatriate” alleged Chinese criminals living overseas, according to a 2020 DOJ complaint.

Between 2014 and 2018, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office sponsored a series of China trips for OCSC officials, according to Chinese government and state-run media reports. During these visits, participants frequently discussed how OCSC branches could assist Chinese law enforcement while abroad.

The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office convened an OCSC conference in Beijing in January 2018 that featured multiple work meetings across China focused on international law enforcement, according to multiple Chinese state media reports.

Representatives from all seven of the U.S.-based OCSCs attended the Beijing conference, according to multiple reports from the conference and photos reviewed by the DCNF.

In Beijing, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office head Qiu Yuanping announced that improving “legal services” and developing an “online platform” would be among her organization’s annual goals, Qiaowang reported.

On the third day of the conference, OCSC representatives traveled to Zhejiang province and met with MPS officials at a police station that serves as the nerve center for multiple “Overseas Chinese Police Contact Points” around the world. Representatives from all seven U.S.-based OCSCs visited the Zhejiang police station, according to state media reports and government social media posts.

During the visit, OCSC officials posed for photos with uniformed MPS officers and participated in a series of demonstrations of an MPS-developed “internet + law enforcement” platform. The MPS platform provides “cross-border remote justice services for overseas Chinese,” according to China News Service and Qiaowang reports.

In one demonstration, the Zhejiang police station used the MPS platform to contact “special duty police officers” in Milan, Italy, according to Chinese government social media posts. These “special duty police officers” then delivered a report on their operations to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.

Following the video call, an Overseas Chinese Affairs Office official instructed OCSC representatives “to learn” from the police station’s “model” in order to “better provide for the well-being of overseas Chinese,” according to a Chinese government social media post.

The OCSC delegation also visited an “Extraterritorial Video Trial Court” specializing in domestic affairs, according to the Zhejiang court’s social media account. OCSC representatives participated in an international video call with the court’s “Overseas Chinese Police Contact Point” in France, according to a report from a United Front organization.

During this call, police contact point officials in France — several of whom belong to an OCSC in Paris — explained how they used MPS technology to remotely handle legal matters such as divorces and property disputes, according to the United Front group.

The “Extraterritorial Video Trial Court” had “tried” 77 international cases and mediated 18 disputes using the virtual MPS platform, according to a January 2018 social media post from the court. The post did not elaborate on the specifics of any litigation or the enforcement of any international legal judgments.

After the court call, an Overseas Chinese Affairs Office official leading the OCSC delegation called on attendees to learn from the court’s experience and build a global internet legal service to realize “the Chinese people’s dream,” the court reported.

It’s unknown whether or not U.S. service centers now utilize any of the technology showcased during their visit with MPS officials, but details of the trip alarmed national security experts who spoke with the DCNF.

“This is the internationalization of monitoring and control,” said Steve Yates, former deputy national security adviser to former vice president Dick Cheney. “An organized government effort to extend sovereign government operations internationally — and to use charitable and affinity organizations as the cover through which to engage in espionage and police activity — crosses a pretty significant line.”

Chinese government and state-run media reports indicate that OCSC branches outside the U.S. often perform law enforcement functions, including by serving as MPS “Overseas Chinese Police Contact Points” and conducting “armed patrols” in a number of countries, such as South Africa.

Several OCSC branches outside the U.S. also house MPS police stations from Fuzhou province, such as Dublin, Ireland’s OCSC, according to its social media account. The Dublin OCSC said its office is designed to assist Chinese nationals with government services, including issuing overseas ID card renewals and conducting physical exams for driver’s licenses.

There is, however, no evidence that U.S.-based service centers host MPS police stations like the one the FBI raided in New York City last year.

Texas Republic Rep. Morgan Luttrell, who is a member of the Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations, characterized the OCSC program as a “serious national security threat.”

“As the Chinese government uses every tool at its disposal to infiltrate the U.S. and grow its influence on the global stage, we must take bold action to counter the CCP’s malign activity,” Luttrell told the DCNF.

Disney Family Sues Company For Creative Control: ‘They’ve Lost Their Way’

/in , , , , , , , /by

“In general, the whole family is very conservative and they keep to themselves…They have always been extremely private. Good luck to them. I suspect they have no real idea of the evil they are up against.” —Jim Korkis, author and Disney family historian.

Disney Family Sues Company For Creative Control: “They’ve Lost Their Way”

Top News: The Walt Disney Company Incorporated is a massive entity with billions in assets spread across every continent. The decision making for the whole shebang, however, boils down to seven member board of directors and the CEO.

That board, which still consists of three people with the last name “Disney,” is now posturing to give creative control of the company back to the family that made the magic happen.

“We’re currently in arbitration over who will take the company into the future,” said George Disney, Walt’s Great Grandson, “my sisters and I would love to see some of the current policies reversed with a return to more wholesome values.”

Karen and Linda Disney, who have never been active in the company other than as voting board members, say they’re behind George’s vision and will do whatever it takes to give the flailing ship some new direction.

The fourth member willing to hand the reigns to the Disney family is longtime family ally Joe Barron, whose mother married Larry Disney shortly after his brother, Roy Disney, dedicated the newly-renovated Space Mountain to his daughter Tina in 1971……

Millions Losing Faith in Wannabe Dictator Biden’s Two Tiered ‘Justice’ System

‘Can’t vote our way out of this injustice’

Millions losing faith in our system over Trump-Biden divide: ‘Can’t vote our way out of this injustice’

By Michael Goodwin, NY Post, June 13, 2023:

Watching the Tuesday circus in Miami and listening to media poohbah pronouncements about the gravity of the moment, I recalled a conversation with a friend about the indictment of Donald Trump.

He repeated a phrase he had heard recently: “We’re not voting our way out of this.”

“This,” of course, is a reference to the great divide tearing America apart, and Exhibit A is a Democratic president’s willingness to use the Department of Justice as a weapon against his leading Republican rival.

There are many good reasons why no former president has ever faced criminal charges, and it’s not because they behaved as angels for the rest of their lives starting the minute they left office.

It’s because previous generations understood there had to be limits to the use of government power, or the country would tear itself to pieces every time the presidency changed hands.

But the far-left wing that has taken over the Democratic Party always knows best and believes it can cancel its opponents by shutting them up or, in this case, locking them up. As always with them, this time is different because they are morally superior people.

So while history was being made in a Miami courtroom, it’s the kind that inflames the political and cultural chasm while offering no solution to the millions who feel left out.

For many of them, Trump was the reason they had any faith in the political system at all.

To see him tripped up by a president and a Department of Justice they believe is rigged against the opposition only fuels their estrangement.

Their disgust suggests some possible meanings to the rest of phrase that “we’re not voting our way out of this.”

Caution: Don’t rush to judgment on the Trump indictment!

/in , , , , , , /by

The 37 counts in the indictment of former President Donald J. Trump are written to be as damaging to the accused as possible. Some are restatements of the same charge over and over. Wisdom and experience dictate the withholding of judgment.

In the early 1970s, your humble reporter was the Presiding Officer (Judge) over a General Court Martial held in West Germany. The defendant, a non-commissioned officer (NCO), was charged with having sex with the family’s 13-year-old babysitter while the NCO’s wife was back in the States tending to her ailing mother. By noon, the Trial Counsel(prosecutor) laid out such a damning case it looked like we would be voting to send the NCO to Ft. Leavenworth prison for many years.

After lunch, the Defense Counsel produced a series of witnesses, backed up by some official intelligence reports(sources and methods redacted) to wit: The female was not 13-years-old. She was18-years-old. Her name was false. In fact, she had been sent by the East German Intelligence Service to work as a prostitute in the Port of Bremerhaven for the purpose of obtaining information about NATO shipping.

The NCO was acquitted of all charges. With regard to Article 134 (adultery), it was a case of “she said” vs. “he said.” Was the NCO having sex with the “babysitter?” Maybe. We’ll never know. How did this situation come to the attention of the U.S. military? A German neighbor provided an anonymous tip. An over-eager prosecutor did not do his homework.

So, you see, initial impressions are not always correct. Moreover, the charges against PDJT, if proven, are merely “process crimes.” Documents mishandled in the process of transition from the White House to his retirement home. They pale in significance to a sitting Vice President of the United States collecting millions of dollars from foreign governments in exchange for favors from the U.S. Government. They pale in significance from compelling a foreign government to fire a prosecutor who was on track to expose corruption in a foreign corporation that was paying Vice President Joe Biden’s son $80,000 per month to do nothing. Recall, PDJT was impeached by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives for merely asking about the status of the fired-prosecutor case.

Former Vice President John Nance Garner often said, “Being Vice President is not worth a bucket of warm spit.” In the case of Joe Biden, we may learn the Vice Presidency is worth over $10 million dollars. And that was before inflation.

But wait. Like PDJT nothing has been proven against President Biden* in a court of law. We must await the judicial process. Or, await the political process which could see PDJT back in the White House with the power, if needed, to pardon himself and others. He could also, like President Biden* is doing right now, order his Attorney General to throw the book at former President Joe Biden* and his crime-family members.

But everyone, except those with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), knows that PDJT has not done anything seriously wrong while Joe Biden* and his family probably sold the Office of the Vice President many times over.

*Election disputed.

Remembering a 2015 OIG Report on Ethics Inside Our Government

/in , , , , , , , /by

Dave Powers, a long-time aide to the President, was a man without a meaningful job in the White House. He had the innocuous title of Special Assistant to the President, and his duties were mundane but pivotal. While on the road with the President, if the First Lady wasn’t present, one of his jobs, according to sources in the Secret Service and staff, was to prowl the streets of whatever city they were in and fetch the most attractive women he could find. It wasn’t unusual for him to bring back as many as three, walk past disapproving Secret Service agents, lead them to the presidential suite, and bid the Commander in Chief goodnight in his thick Boston accent.

The Secret Service and FBI Director Hoover (circa 1961-1963) were not amused at the time. They were fearful that pillow talk might compromise national security, a concern that survives today. It’s dangerous stuff, and it does happen. One slip and there was no telling who’d get hold of the classified whispers.

President John F. Kennedy’s womanizing was hardly a secret among the adoring press and even those who disapproved of his politics. They were noted but unreported. There was an unwritten “gentlemen’s agreement” back then that presidential dalliances were out of bounds.

Not so today; although those engaging in sexual interludes are not presidents (as far as we know), various law enforcement agents comprising national security through pillow talk are most foul.

DOJ Report of Sexual Misconduct in Law Enforcement

The House Oversight Committee had had a parade of Justice Department and other agency and department heads testify that while those in their charge had indeed poorly acted, especially when it came to illicit sex, they could not fire them. Instead, the agents would be sent home for two days to a week, then reinstated, security clearances still intact.

That comprises today’s punishment, save for serious offenses that can revoke a security clearance. Back in the 1960s, especially in the FBI, if Hoover got word of an agent’s hair being out of place, that agent would be assigned to northern Alaska and, at worst, fired on the spot.

To the person, when asked by Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, why offenders identified in The Handling of Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Allegations by the Department’s Law Enforcement Components1 they had not been canned, each director or agency head testified that under current Civil Service laws not even they can fire an agent, not from the DEA, not from the Secret Service, not from the IRS or FBI, Short of committing a capital offense, firings seem to be impossible in Washington.

The bad actors were identified and questioned by checking through the OIG report assigned. Sins were uncovered with stiff resistance and often via heavily redacted documents. Chaffetz vented his spleen at DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart, according to The Blaze.2 “ [when she] testified at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing after a damning Inspector General report said DEA agents used prostitutes in Colombia that a drug cartel in that country provided. The report also said the DEA didn’t fully cooperate in the investigation.”3

“This is a matter of national security,” Chaffetz said. He touched on the key findings: “The report highlights repeated sexual abuses including ATF training instructors sleeping with their students; using government vehicles to facilitate inappropriate sexual relationships, and managers sexually harassing employees and then asking them to watch pornography. The report also clarifies that when law enforcement engages in inappropriate and illicit sexual behavior, the agencies they work for often look the other way. To use the IG’s language, these cases of sexual misconduct are treated as quotes, local management issues, and end quotes. In other words, they’re swept under the rug.”4

He went on to say that the FBI and DEA tried to hide these incidents from their own Inspector General…and even told their employees not to cooperate. He explained that the IG asked the DEA to run more than 40 search terms to identify relevant information. “The three terms they ran out of forty included, ‘sex,’ ‘prosti’ and ‘exposure.’ Why exclude the search terms the inspector general is asking for?”

He then read the DEA head the riot act for submitted documents so heavily redacted that the IG couldn’t figure out what they were about.

Citing all of the agencies investigated, Chaffetz said, “It’s incumbent on the leadership of these law enforcement agencies to weed out employees who put our security at risk, embarrass the country and break the law.

“People make mistakes,” he continued, “but these weren’t simple mistakes. This went on and on, multiple reports of sex parties, of loud parties to the point that the landlord was complaining back to our federal government about how out of control these parties were,” he said, his tone incredulous.

He shook his head, saying, “It’s a sad day for the DEA.”

No, Mr. Chairman, it’s a sad day for the United States, and it demonstrates how government agencies and departments seem to find nothing wrong with debauchery. Is it any wonder why the rest of the world regards the U.S. with a highly-raised eyebrow?

The only and best way to rectify this ethically is to rewrite the civil service laws and grant agency and department heads the power to fire any agent who engages in these activities. Period.

Texas Attorney General Paxton’s Sham Impeachment

/in , , , , , , /by

The impeachment trial of Ken Paxton has ignited a discussion surrounding the principles of fairness, justice, and Due Process. It is imperative to approach these proceedings with an open mind, allowing for a fair evaluation of the allegations against Paxton, adhering to due process, and ensuring equal justice under the law. Engaging with State Senators and promoting rational discourse is crucial to achieving a just outcome in this trial.

The Report on the Impeachment:

Let me reiterate, Attorney General Ken Paxton is a fearless leader of our Constitutional rights and the rule of law. The fact that they went after Ken Paxton is a shot across the bow and a hint at what’s to come in 2024. The allegations against him are untrue. They are false. The impeachment process has been marred by biased actions, lack of impartiality, and disregard for due process, undermining the entire proceedings’ legitimacy. It is a sham impeachment by the UniParty.

The impeachment process has not been conducted impartially. The House has displayed clear partisanship against Ken Paxton, resulting in a predetermined outcome that does not reflect fairness or justice.

The allegations presented against Ken Paxton are not valid. They have been manufactured to tarnish his reputation and politically demolish his character.

The Proceedings:

The Texas House, in a hasty manner, rushed the article of impeachment proceedings to the Senate. This hurried approach reflects a lack of seriousness and undermines the integrity of the entire process.

Shameful conduct by the House was disgraceful. It disregarded its rules and abandoned fair and proper procedures, leading to a compromised and unfair investigation. The House attempted to pass 20 articles of impeachment against Ken Paxton in less than 72 hours. Such an accelerated timeline undercuts the thoroughness and legitimacy of the proceedings, leaving no room for proper examination of the evidence or due process.

The allegations against Ken Paxton are baseless. He should never be convicted. The lack of substantial evidence and the politically motivated nature of the accusations only weaken the credibility of the entire process.

Process matters: The legitimacy of any legal proceedings rests on adherence to a proper process. In the case of Ken Paxton’s impeachment, the process has been compromised, thereby diminishing the overall legitimacy of the impeachment proceedings.

Documental evidence: Both sides must present documental evidence to support their claims. However, in the case of Ken Paxton, the presentation of such evidence needs to be improved, raising concerns about the process’s validity and credibility.

The actions taken by the House during the impeachment proceedings do not reflect the conduct expected from a legislative body. The abandonment of proper procedure and the reliance on hearsay evidence cast doubt on the integrity and justice of the process.

Evaluation of Allegations

In any impeachment trial, it is essential to carefully evaluate the allegations against the accused, separating facts from speculation or political posturing. While holding public officials accountable for their actions is crucial, ensuring that the accusations are based on concrete evidence and verifiable facts is equally essential. The Senate can establish a fair and just foundation for the trial by thoroughly examining the allegations.

Due Process and Presumption of Innocence

One of the cornerstones of the justice system is the presumption of innocence. Like any other individual, Ken Paxton should be afforded a fair opportunity to present his defense and confront the evidence against him. There are a few genuine problems with the way the House conducted this. First of all, Attorney General Paxton had absolutely no due process whatsoever. That’s a big problem. That’s something that will matter in the Senate. Second, a statute in state law says that anything that happened in the previous election cycle cannot be considered for impeachment in the current process.

Upholding due process is a legal obligation and a moral imperative. It is through fair procedures and a balanced presentation of evidence that the truth can be discerned and justice can be served.

Ken Paxton’s Resistance Against the Political Establishment:

For the past ten years, the Deep State went against General Paxton as they went against President Trump. Their phony indictment was nothing more than a witch hunt. And so is the impeachment of Ken Paxton. Paxton’s courageous stance for Texas is commendable. His dedication to our State while holding the best interests of the United States is extraordinary. His support for our military, the Texas National Guard, Border Patrol, and veterans is praiseworthy. His love for our country, America, is unparalleled.

Paxton’s nearly flawless and proven record of standing for conservative principles has earned him tremendous support among Texas conservative leaders.

“Attorney General Ken Paxton has been bravely on the front line in the fight for Texas, and America, against the vicious and very dangerous Radical Left Democrats, and the foolish and unsuspecting RINOs that are destroying our Country,” Trump said in an email.

Why did they impeach General Paxton?

Impeachment proceedings have often been marred by partisan divisions, with politicians focusing on their political affiliations rather than the case’s merits. The Texas Senate should uphold non-partisan, rational, and constructive discourse that would transcend one-sided boundaries. Senators can foster an environment where the truth can emerge, enabling them to make informed decisions based on the evidence presented.

One month ago, as reported by Miranda Devine in the NY Post, Paxton announced his new investigation into whether Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson misled Texans on the efficacy and safety of their vaccines.

Look at the pattern; Paxton wanted to go after election fraud, and it was REPUBLICANS that blocked him and are now removing him.

Maintaining Fairness

In the impeachment trial of Ken Paxton, upholding the principles of fairness, justice, and due process is of utmost importance. Senators can ensure a fair and just outcome by approaching the proceedings with an open mind, thoroughly evaluating the allegations, and adhering to procedural processes. By upholding these principles, the impeachment trial can serve the best interests of Texas, ensuring fairness and justice will prevail.

Therefore, in light of the above few observations, it can be understood that the impeachment proceedings against Ken Paxton can only be described as an ugly smear campaign aimed at politically assassinating his character. The lack of substantial evidence, the abandonment of due process, and the discriminatory conduct of the House demonstrate a corrupt and compromised process.

The people of Texas will see through this charade and recognize the evil nature of these proceedings, leading to their ultimate failure. The allegations against Ken Paxton are hearsay, double hearsay, and even triple hearsay, which would not hold in any court of law. The denial of the defendant’s right to speak and the rejection of a representative’s evidence further undermine the entire process’s fairness and legitimacy. Furthermore, a formal report detailing the evidence against Ken Paxton needs to be revised to ensure the validity of the allegations.

Top GOP Rep Says There’s Evidence The Biden Admin Released Migrants With Chinese Military Ties Into The U.S.

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green possesses evidence that some Chinese migrants that crossed the southern border illegally and were released into the U.S. under the Biden administration are connected to the Chinese Communist Party and China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), he told the Daily Caller News Foundation during a press conference Wednesday.

The intelligence came directly from a Border Patrol sector chief, Green told the DCNF. Border Patrol has seen a roughly 393% increase in illegal Chinese migrants at the southern border, with 9,711 Chinese migrant encounters recorded between October 2022 and April.

“In terms of the verification that the individuals released into the United States have ties to the PLA came from a sector chief and I’ll leave it with that at this point. We have a classified briefing coming up in the very near future,” Green said.

China expert Gordon Chang recently expressed concerns of sabotage among Chinese migrants crossing the southern border in an interview with the DCNF.

“When I first saw that the surge in Chinese migrants, that’s the thought that came to my mind that these are either Ministry of State Security agents or Chinese military, who are coming to this country to commit acts of sabotage against the US,” Chang said at the time.

Green announced the revelation while presenting his evidence suggesting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is guilty of “dereliction of duty” in his handling of the crisis at the southern border. Green’s committee released a report on Wednesday about its initial findings on a five-phase investigation into Mayorkas’ tenure, saying the probe will conclude in roughly 12 weeks.

“I believe that the major fault falls with Secretary Mayorkas,” Green said.

DHS defended Mayorkas’ leadership and handling of the southern border in a statement to the DCNF.

“Secretary Mayorkas is proud to advance the noble mission of the Department, support its extraordinary workforce, and serve the American people. The Department will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border, protect the United States from terrorism, and improve our cybersecurity, all while building a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system. Instead of pointing fingers and pursuing baseless attacks, Congress should work with the Department and pass comprehensive legislation to fix our broken immigration system, which has not been updated in decades,” a DHS spokesperson told the DCNF.

Delaware Supreme Court To Hear DCNF Lawsuit Over Release Of Biden Senate Docs

/in , , , , , , , /by

The Delaware Supreme Court is set to hear arguments Wednesday in a lawsuit brought by the Daily Caller News Foundation and Judicial Watch against the University of Delaware for the release of President Joe Biden’s Senate records.

The university claimed public funds were not used to support the papers, arguing the documents requested in the April 30, 2020 Freedom of Information Act requests filed by both organizations were not subject to release. The DCNF and Judicial Watch filed an appeal brief with the Delaware Supreme Court in January 2023 after the Superior Court issued an opinion siding with the university.

“No more obfuscation. No more excuses. It’s time for the University of Delaware to answer for its refusal to release Biden’s Senate records,” said Michael Bastasch, editor-in-chief of the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The DCNF requested agreements relating to the storage of 1,850 boxes and 415 gigabytes of records from 1973 to 2009, communications between university staff and Biden’s staff, log sheets of individuals who have visited the collection along with the records themselves.

“The sketchy secrecy on the Biden Senate records and his deal with the University of Delaware need to end,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And President Biden could end the dispute by simply releasing the details about his Senate records. What is Biden hiding?”

The records could include information relating to Tara Reade, who accused Biden of sexually assaulting her while working on his senate office in 1993, or Hunter Biden, who is under investigation for alleged failure to pay taxes and lying on a federal firearms form.

The FBI searched the University of Delaware collection in connection with its investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified documents in February.

The DCNF and Judicial Watch initially filed the lawsuit in July 2020.

‘17 Recordings’: Bombshell Audio Of Bidens’ Ukraine Bribery Phone Calls

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Senator Grassley just revealed that a highly credible FBI informant says the Ukraine Burisma executive who allegedly bribed Joe Biden, has 17 audio recordings speaking with Joe and Hunter. This allegation should lead to the impeachment, resignation or criminal prosecution of Joe Biden.

The FBI source who reported President Biden’s alleged role in a bribery scheme said that a Ukrainian businessman claimed to keep as “insurance” 15 audio recordings of first son Hunter Biden and two of Joe Biden, a Republican senator revealed Monday.

Remember, President Trump was impeached for looking into this mass corruption scheme.

Grassley said the recordings were “allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case he got into a tight spot.” In other words, blackmail.

The weaponized FBI continues to act as a criminal racketeering organization covering for this  corrupt regime. And the legacy media is not merely useless, they are grave threat to our Republic. They’ve worked furiously to promote this villainy but their daily coverage is a cover up of the biggest political scandal in American history.

Margo Cleveland in The Federalist:

Grassley’s ‘17 Recordings’ Bombshell Brings Bidens And Burisma Back Into The Spotlight

BY: MARGOT CLEVELAND • 

The Ukrainian owner of Burisma allegedly made 17 audio recordings of conversations with the Bidens, Sen. Chuck Grassley revealed Monday from the Senate Floor. Then-Vice President Joe Biden may also have been involved in prompting Burisma to hire his son for a cushy job on the board of directors, according to Grassley’s summary of the FD-1023 confidential human source report the FBI continues to withhold from Congress.

These new details, coupled with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoenaing of Hunter’s business partner and fellow Burisma board member on Monday, place the Ukrainian oil and gas company back in the spotlight of the Biden family pay-to-play scandal.

For the last month, Grassley and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer have pushed the FBI to release the FD-1023 CHS report that alleged a foreign national — identified by individuals with knowledge of the matter as Mykola Zlochevsky — had bribed the Bidens to influence policy decisions. Zlochevsky, the founder of the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma, had allegedly told a “highly credible” CHS, that he paid then-Vice President Biden $5 million and Hunter another $5 million to prompt the firing of a prosecutor looking into Burisma corruption.

The FBI refuses to release the FD-1023, however, prompting Grassley to call for transparency. To that end, the Iowa Republican told the country that “the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them.”

“Seventeen total recordings,” Grassley continued. “According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden.” Another two audio recordings involve calls between Zlochevsky and then-Vice President Joe Biden, Grassley stressed.

Then, after noting that Zlochevsky kept the recordings “as a sort of insurance policy,” Grassley added that the same FD-1023 also indicated that “then-Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in Burisma employing Hunter Biden.”

Americans have long known Burisma paid Hunter Biden ridiculous sums of money to sit on its board, but until yesterday, the sham seemed crafted by the Ukrainian company to buy influence with the Obama-Biden administration. Now, however, it also appears the then-vice president had a hand in Hunter’s position on the board.

The claims that Zlochevsky possessed recordings — not just of Hunter Biden, but also of “the Big Guy” — suggests we face a serious national security risk, with a compromised president potentially beholden to a blackmailer.

‘The foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them.’

These audio recordings were kept as a sort of “insurance”, blackmail in other words…

Grassley: Burisma executive who allegedly paid Biden has audio recordings of conversations with Joe, Hunter

By Brooke Singman | Fox News

Biden claims GOP’s bribery allegations are ‘malarkey’

President Biden responds to a shouted question during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Sen. Chuck Grassley said Monday that the Burisma executive who allegedly paid Joe Biden and Hunter Biden kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as an “insurance policy,” citing the FBI FD-1023 form that the bureau briefed congressional lawmakers on.

Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed from the Senate floor Monday what was said to be a redacted reference in the FBI-generated FD-1023 form alleging a criminal bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national that involved influence over U.S. policy decisions.

Fox News Digital exclusively reported on the contents of the form last week. The FD-1023 form, dated June 30, 2020, is the FBI’s interview with a “highly credible” confidential source who detailed multiple meetings and conversations he or she had with a top Burisma executive over the course of several years, starting in 2015. Fox News Digital has not seen the form, which is redacted, but it was described by several sources who are aware of its contents.

Grassley said the FD-1023 has a redacted reference that the Burisma executive possesses fifteen audio recordings of phone calls between himself and Hunter Biden.

According to Grassley, the FD-1023 also states that the executive possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between himself and then-Vice President Joe Biden.

Grassley, from the Senate floor, slammed the FBI for not complying with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena, saying Congress “still lacks a full and complete picture with respect to what that document really says.”

“That’s why it’s important that the document be made public without unnecessary redactions for the American people to see,” he said. “Let me assist for purposes of transparency.”

“The 1023 produced to that House Committee redacted reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them,” Grassley continued. “17 total recordings.”

“According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden,” Grassley said. “According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between him and then-Vice President Joe Biden.”

Pro-Abortion PAC to Spend $10M+ to Boost Kamala’s Image in 2024

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

One of the nation’s largest pro-abortion PACs has plans to spend more than ten million dollars to prop up worthless Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 election, according to Breitbart News.

EMILY’s List — an organization whose goal is to elect pro-abortion Democrat women to public office — told Politico over the weekend about its plans to promote the epically incompetent VP, whose approval ratings have teetered around the low-40s and mid-30s for much of President Biden’s first term.

“Such an investment in support of a sitting vice president is politically unprecedented. And it reflects the lack of broader efforts that have been made to date to help bolster the vice president amid persistently low approval ratings,” the report states. “It also underscores the growing recognition that Harris may play an outsized role in what is sure to be a tough election. Republican presidential candidates have made it clear they will be using the specter of a Harris presidency as a way to hurt Joe Biden’s chances at reelection, particularly by raising questions about his age and capacity for the job,” the report continues.

President of EMILY’s List Laphonza Butler told the outlet that the PAC wants to “push back against the massive misinformation and disinformation that’s been directed towards her since she’s been elected.” The PAC previously supported Harris in 2020 after she was announced as Biden’s running mate, and Butler also helped guide Harris’s failed presidential bid while working for a leading California political consulting firm.

The funding announcement comes after Axios reported in May that Harris was “quietly forming a small, outside group of women allies to help amplify her role as the White House’s leading warrior” against Republican-led laws protecting unborn babies from abortion. A Democrat official familiar with the situation told the outlet that 14 women from across the abortion industry and other groups met with Harris, including Butler for EMILY’s List, Alexis McGill Johnson of Planned Parenthood, and NARAL’s Mini Timmaraju.

EMILY’s List (EL)

124 Known Connections

Formally, there are only three requirements a candidate must meet in order to be eligible for support from EMILY’s List: The candidate must be a woman, she must be a Democrat, and she must support unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand. EL has occasionally withdrawn its support from women expressing even the barest opposition to any abortion-related “right.” U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana), for instance, lost EL’s backing in 1997 after she voted in favor of a ban on the practice commonly known as “partial-birth abortion.”

Consistently accusing Republicans of conducting “a sustained assault on the right to choose and advances for women,” EL affirms: “We hold the GOP accountable. We don’t just help our candidates respond when they are attacked—we define their GOP opponents before they can hide their records.”

President Donald J. Trump, ‘I will never drop out of the 2024 presidential race!’

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

President Donald J. Trump sent out an email to his followers stating:

A rabid left-wing “reporter” accidentally revealed the true motive behind this SHAM indictment…

…She wondered if Biden’s Department of Justice would drop my indictment if I agreed to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.

That’s called EXTORTION.

That’s how the Mafia works – not America.

But allow me to address this matter so that there is NO DOUBT where I stand…

…I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

They can indict me, they can arrest me, but I know – and the American people know – that I am an innocent man.

My only offense is challenging the corrupt ruling class and fighting for the forgotten men and women of our country.

If I were to drop out, what precedent would that set going forward? Presidents would be decided by extortion, not by elections.

You cannot plead with people who are holding your freedom and justice hostage.

As the age-old saying goes, “I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.”

2024 is no longer just about an election. It’s about whether America will still even have elections – or if the president will be picked by unelected bureaucrats through a weaponized legal system.

WATCH: Tucker Carlson’s Episode 3 — America’s Principles Are At Stake

The entire purpose of what has happened since the 2020 election is that the Democrats, after stealing it and now in the White House and in control of the U.S. Senate, are all in on stopping President Donald J. Trump.

They will use every means available to do this because they know that when he is reelected he will drain the swamp.

The Democrats have expanded the swamp from the school house to the White House. Swamp creatures can now be found in the public schoolroom to the corporate boardrooms of every company in America. Those who resist be they teachers, administrators, politicians, CEOs, faith leaders and especially traditional families will be punished harshly.

Fear is what is driving the swamp creatures. Fear that they will lose power and be drained from the swamp.

This is behind what President Donald J. Trump’s statement. Remember during his inaugural address he unequivocally stated, “Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning, because today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people.”

They fear we the people. And they should.

‘Pursuing His Twisted Agenda,’ Biden Puts Progress Flags on Par with Old Glory

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

People visiting Washington, D.C. this weekend probably expected to see a white house on Pennsylvania Avenue. Instead, the president’s residence was plastered in rainbow and transgender colors, an over-the-top display of the current resident’s LGBT fixation. It was a stark contrast to the mood in the rest of America, where the fury over Pride displays has reached a deafening roar.

That all seems lost on Joe Biden, who hosted the largest Pride event in White House history on Saturday. The South Lawn event came just two days after the president savaged the Americans opposed to his wildly irresponsible agenda of transgenderism. In a scripted response to a PBS reporter, the president unloaded on parents who are up in arms about the indoctrination of their sons and daughters, calling the opposition to child mutilation “hysterical” and “cruel.”

In a coordinated exchange, PBS News White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López framed the conversation this way: “All over the country … Republican led states are passing laws — passing anti-LGBT, anti-transgender laws that restrict rights and medical care. Intimidation is on the rise. This week, anti-LGBTQ protesters turned violent in California.” She claimed to have spoken to parents who are considering leaving the U.S., because local governments are cracking down on barbaric child sex change procedures.

“Sir,” she asked Biden, “why do you think this is happening? And what do you say to parents like the ones that I spoke to — to those families who are contemplating leaving the country because they don’t feel safe anymore?”

The president replied by proudly ticking through all of his LGBT activism, like throwing open the military to people who identify as the opposite sex and signing the sweeping same-sex marriage law earlier this year. But, he pivoted, “our fight is far, far from over because we have some hysterical and, I would argue, prejudiced people who are engaged in all that you see going on around the country. It’s an appeal to fear, and it’s an appeal that is totally, thoroughly unjustified, and ugly.”

“It’s wrong,” Biden ranted, “that extreme [GOP] officials are pushing hateful bills, targeting transgender children, terrifying families, and criminalizing doctors. These are our kids. These are our neighbors. It’s cruel and it’s callous. They’re not somebody else’s kids, they’re all our kids. They’re the kids, and our children are the kite strings that hold our national ambitions aloft. It matters a great deal how we treat everyone in this country.”

The “they’re all our kids” line drew a unique kind of scorn, since it marks the third time the administration has tried to claim Americans’ children as their own. Biden himself argued, “There’s no such thing as someone else’s child” in April, which was encored by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in May who said the country’s trans-identifying children “belong to all of us.”

Outraged Republicans like Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) fired back that “Contrary to President Biden, the nation’s children do not belong to him, and it’s good to oppose unnecessary and irreversible medical procedures for kids. If Joe Biden wants to see an extremist, there are mirrors all over the White House.”

Other conservatives can’t understand why the president is leaning into an issue that’s sparked such a nationwide uprising. Even last week, polling showed just how far outside the mainstream the Democratic Party is when it comes to this hot-button debate. An astonishing 71% of Americans reject Biden’s suggestion that there are more than two genders in the latest Rasmussen Report — including 67% of his own party. To strategists like Matt Whitlock, the Democrats’ 24/7 Pride parade is a “[h]uge political miscalculation,” because “the overwhelming majority of Americans support banning transgender surgeries for kids. … This is such a bizarre hill for them to fight on,” he told Fox News.

That political divide has never been more obvious than the two camps’ approaches to 2024. While Democrats use drag queens to rally voters, every declared GOP presidential candidate is united in their opposition to harmful, irreversible gender treatments for children. “It’s sad we even have to say this,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) said in last week’s tour of Iowa, “but it is wrong for physicians to perform sex change operations on minors. That is mutilation and physicians who commit such acts in Florida not only lose their medical license, they go to jail.”

Meanwhile, at the Biden White House, contestants on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” performed (presumably on the taxpayer dime) and the radical progress flag flies in equal footing with Old Glory. “We need to push back against the hundreds of callous and cynical bills and laws introduced in states, targeting transgender children terrifying families, and criminalizing doctors and nurses,” the president insisted Saturday. “These bills and laws attack the most basic values and freedoms.”

Biden’s backwards logic continues to incense everyday Americans, who are sick of the administration demonizing parents and voters who don’t share his fanatical, unhinged ideology. “The default position for the Left,” Congressman Bob Good (R-Va.) argued on “Washington Watch” Thursday, “… is whenever you disagree with them or you challenge their narrative, you challenge their agenda, you challenge their position, then you’re a racist, you’re a homophobe, you’re a transphobe — and they target you.”

Right now, he argued, people who “dissent or disagree” with the radical agenda of the Biden administration, those who “dare to question the efforts to indoctrinate our children in schools with anti-American ideology, with racist ideology, with transgender ideology … [t]hose are the people that this administration considers to be the greatest threat to the country. [They are] to be threatened, intimidated, harassed, arrested, even imprisoned for standing up for what they believe in, for exercising, frankly, their First Amendment protected rights to petition their government with their grievances, to protest peacefully and just to stand up for the protection of their own children.”

In the meantime, Biden’s flagrant allegiance to the LGBT progress flag is not only putting him at odds with most Americans but potentially, critics argue, with the U.S. Flag code. “The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs,” Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton said. More than that, he insisted, “To advance revolutionary transgender agenda targeting children, Biden … disrespects every American service member buried under its colors.”

Members of Congress were equally disgusted. “Pursuing his twisted agenda, Biden dishonors the flag and breaks American law,” Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) posted. “Shameful that our flag is being replaced by leftist imagery at the White House,” Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) tweeted. “Anyone wondering why drag shows and other woke nonsense dominate our government? Here it is: orders are coming directly from the top.”

“This is a disgrace,” Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) agreed. “Not only is it in breach of US Flag Code, but it’s a glaring example of this White Houses’ incompetence and insistence on putting their social agenda ahead of patriotism.”

If Biden thinks flaunting his obsession with LGBT extremism will help him at the polls, someone in the White House might want to check the value of Bud Light and Target stocks. If people will vote against this agenda with their dollars, how much more will they vote with their ballots?
