TOP STORIES
JACK SMITH WANTS TRUMP IN JAIL – Lawfare Assassin Jack Smith is looking to get Donald J Trump thrown in jail for purchasing a firearm or pretending he did. The Special Counsel’s office said in its filing, “The defendant either procured a gun in defiance of the law and his release conditions or aims to gain from his supporters’ erroneous belief that he did. They stated that purchasing a firearm while under indictment for a felony would be a separate federal crime and a violation of the defendant’s conditions of release.”
HOUSE DEMOCRAT PULLS ALARM TO DELAY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN VOTE – House Republicans are calling on Representative Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) to be removed from office for pulling a fire alarm in an attempt to delay the Government shutdown vote that was scheduled. He claims to have done so by accident but a video shows he did it quite intentionally. The Democrats are protecting this blatant act of insurrection.
PARENTS WHO DON’T WANT THEIR KIDS TRANSITIONED COULD LOSE CUSTODY IN CA – California looks to make it de facto illegal for parents to refuse to transition their kids, i.e. castrate them, to satisfy the altrainbow cult if an amendment to AB857 passes. The amendment would cause a parent to lose custody of their child if they refuse to allow the child to receive “gender affirming care,” i.e. be physically and chemically mutilated to affirm the lie that “gender” is a social construct.
BRITAIN ANNOUNCES PLANS TO INSERT MILITARY TRAINERS INTO UKRAINE – UK Defense Minister Grant Shapps told the Telegraph UK the nation is planning on sending troops to help with “training and production operations.” He also calls for UK Defense contractors to build factories in Ukraine to produce arms and munitions there.
DEMOCRAT JUDGE PROTECTS DEI-INFUSED VENTURE FUND – U.S. District Judge Thomas Thrash refused to block a grant program by Fearless Fund that excludes white people, claiming the merits of the case are not warranted as, apparently, it’s now legal to discriminate against white people.

TRENDING (Mon-Fri)
OREGON SCHOOL ATTACKS SHARING OF VIDEO SHOWING TRANS STUDENT ASSAULTING FEMAILE STUDENT– A statement from the Hazelbrook Middle School in response to a viral video that shows a trans student beating up a female student seems to go out of its way to protect the trans student while undermining what the victim went through. They attacked the people who filmed and shared the video and accused people of spreading misinformation.
They said, “Students and adults contributed to the sharing of this recording that exposed minors who were directly and indirectly involved without consent. In addition, the sharing of this incident has spread across the country and beyond, inspiring false information and a focus and discourse on sexual identity. These acts have contributed to the trauma individuals and families are already experiencing.”
