Daily Broadside | Demolished Bridge in Baltimore an Accident or an Intentional Act of Sabotage?

I would never describe myself as a conspiracy theorist, but with all the fake news and the authentic lying done by the FBI, the DOJ, the White House and the mainstream media, I can’t help but wonder about the more controversial explanations for high-profile events. We all know that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself, George Floyd was not suffocated by a cop’s knee, and Donald Trump did not incite an insurrection.

Early Tuesday morning, a fully loaded container ship hit a support pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, causing it to collapse into the Patapsco River, triggering a mass casualty event. The bridge opened in 1977, is 1.6 miles long, and is named after the author of the American National Anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Dispatch audio from emergency responders captured the tense atmosphere after a cargo ship rammed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday, causing it to be completely destroyed. 

Operators of the Dali cargo ship had issued a mayday call that the vessel had lost power moments before the crash, but the ship still headed toward the span at “a very, very rapid speed,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said.

The 985-foot-long vessel struck one of the 1.6-mile long bridge’s supports, causing the span to break and fall into the water within seconds.

An emergency responder could be heard on the dispatch audio mentioning that construction workers had been operating on the bridge during the collapse, and an “unknown amount of those workers [were] in the water.” That prompted a call for a dive team. 

At first glance, it looks like a horrific accident. The ship lost power (it looks like twice), the crew issued a mayday call, and the crew had been out shopping earlier in the day, hardly what you’d think a terrorist would do if he were planning an attack like this.

But when you speed up the film of the crash, it’s very peculiar. The ship seems aimed at the support that it rammed.

Full live-streamed video here.

Mind you, I’m NOT declaring that the pilot deliberately aimed the ship at the pillar. I’m just saying if you watch the video without benefit of the doubt, it sure LQQKS like the cargo behemoth could’ve been aimed at the pillar.

On top of that, an enormous economic threat seems to have been unleashed in the wake of the disaster.

The collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge is a “major disaster” for the economy — threatening to disrupt $80 billion in cargo that travels to an from one of America’s busiest ports, and more than 140,000 jobs tied to the shipping traffic, experts said.

The immediate upshot for Americans — if you’re waiting for a new car to come in from overseas, prepare to wait longer. The Port of Baltimore stands as the nation’s leading import and export site for cars, light trucks.

It’s also the leading nexus for sugar and gypsum — which is used in fertilizer, drywall and plaster. A record 52.3 million tons of foreign cargo was transported through Baltimore in 2023.

The bustling port is cut off after the 1.6-mile bridge crumbled and fell into the Patapsco River early Tuesday, blocking the only shipping lane into the port.

Bloomberg agrees with the analysis.

The Port of Baltimore — the biggest handler of US imports and exports of cars and light trucks — looks to be out of commission indefinitely. The resulting bottleneck could accelerate a shift of goods through West Coast ports. Another crucial question: Which other ports have spare capacity to handle the Ro-Ro vessels that carry automobiles if Baltimore is closed for an extended period.

The growing instability inside the U.S. with the mass invasion of our southern border, rampant inflation, and the presidential election featuring lawfare against one of the candidates, what more do we need to collapse our trust in society? Lara Logan seems to think this was a deliberate attack.

Multiple intel sources: Baltimore bridge collapse was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on US critical infrastructure – most likely cyber – & our intel agencies know it. In information warfare terms, they just divided the US along the Mason Dixon line exactly like the Civil War.

Second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material now down for 4-5 years – which is how long they say it will take to recover. Bridge was built specifically to move hazardous material – fuel, diesel, propane gas, nitrogen, highly flammable materials, chemicals and oversized cargo that cannot fit in the tunnels – that supply chain now crippled.

Make no mistake: this was an extraordinary attack in terms of planning, timing & execution.

[…]

The footage shows the cargo ship never got in the approach lane in the channel. You have to be in the channel before you get into that turn. Location was precise/deliberate: chose a bend in the river where you have to slow down and commit yourself – once you are committed in that area there is not enough room to maneuver.

Should have had a harbor pilot to pilot the boat. You are not supposed to traverse any obstacles without the harbor pilot.

They chose a full moon so they would have maximum tidal shift – rise and fall. Brisk flow in that river on a normal day & have had a lot of rain recently so water was already moving along at a good pace.

Hit it with enough kinetic energy to knock the load-bearing pylon out from under the highway – which fatally weakens the span and then 50 percent of the bridge fell into the water. All these factors when you look at it – this is how you teach people how to do this type of attack and there are so few people left in the system who know this. We have a Junior varsity team on the field.

[…]

When you choke off Baltimore you have cut the main north-south hazardous corridor (I95) in half. Now has to go around the city – or go somewhere else.

Finally, similar to the terrorists on 9/11, who aimed their hijacked planes at symbols of American strength⁠—the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, and the U.S. Capitol (which was averted due to the heroism of Flight 93’s passengers)⁠—here we have a bridge named in honor of the author of our national anthem.

The bridge does carry some symbolic weight.

It may sound like I’m a conspiracy theorist, but I’m not. All reports suggest it’s a tragic accident. I’m just looking at this with the cynical eye I’ve developed because of how often we’ve been lied to by those who control information.

But if it turns out to indeed have been a terrorist attack, I won’t be at all surprised.

Daily Broadside | The DOJ Sets Up A Soviet-Style Snitch Line

From PJ Media comes word that the feds have just announced and funded the “National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center.”

Joe Biden apparently thinks he isn’t going to make it to a second term. On Saturday, his attorney general announced a new resource program for Red Flag laws across America that will go on long after Biden is no longer in the White House.

Congressman Thomas Massie sounded the alarm, asking: “What the hell is this evil? A Federal Red Flag center; We did not authorize this. Announced, of course, just hours after the omnibus passes.”

So unelected bureaucrats are now making law and funding it out of the money Congress voted to give them? The out-of-control ring masters are planning to disarm all of the junta’s enemies. That means all white, conservative, right wing, extremist, Christian Nationalist, MAGA Republican men who object to a government that is trampling their God-given rights.

Red flag laws sound reasonable, don’t they, considering how often gun violence is preceded by the perpetrators dropping blatant warning signs of murderous intent (signs which the FBI and DHS then ignore)? But make no mistake – red flag laws, which enable authorities to disarm someone who has been deemed a potential gun violence threat by family members or others in close contact with the “suspect,” will be used to target political enemies of the Biden administration. Under the guise (as usual) of keeping Americans safe, the government will exploit these laws in totalitarian ways.

Own a MAGA hat or a Gadsden flag? The Biden administration sees you as a potential danger. Complain about woke schoolroom indoctrination at school board meetings? The FBI already considers you a domestic terrorist. Post support on social media for the J6 political prisoners? You’re a threat to American “democracy” (i.e. Democrat one-party hegemony). Does anyone doubt that the government will use red flag laws to neuter such “threats”?

Who decides who “poses” a threat? Who decides what constitutes a threat? They’ve already demonized whites, “MAGA” Republicans, “deplorables” and “bitter clingers,” anti-vaxxers, hoax-busters and others as the greatest threat to the country since sliced bread or something.

Red flag laws are unconstitutional because they offer no due process. Authorities can show up to take your lawfully purchased weapons based on a report from anyone, and you don’t get them back until the authorities say so.

If you have a firearm, you best be quiet about it.

The potential danger and violence that red flag laws pose is real.

These imposters in the federal government — they’re American in name only — intend to disarm the populace in the interest of “public safety.” Safety is a disingenuous head fake.

The truth is that these left-wing cultural Marxists and their enablers in the media and our formerly great institutions are the true threat to a safe and stable society.

Daily Broadside | The Persecution of Donald J. Trump Hits a Speed Bump

The outrageous lawfare being waged on the former president took a hit this weekend when the New York Supreme Court ordered New York Attorney General Letitia James to remove a letter asking them to disregard Trump’s argument that posting the scandalous nearly half-a-billion dollar bond is a “practical impossibility.”

In the original letter, Ms. James had asked the court not to accept the testimonies of a Trump attorney and broker who detailed the efforts they’d gone through in trying to obtain a $464 million bond, claiming they were unreliable sources. The defense faulted the state for not providing any “reason to doubt any of their assertions,” however, and only making a blanket statement.

“While attempting to cynically and wrongfully tar the Defendants’ witnesses as ‘unreliable,’ the Attorney General does not actually dispute the truth of a single one of their specific claims,” the defense’s letter reads.

The sworn affidavits submitted revealed that the defense had sought out the large bond since before final judgment was entered—raising the fine from $250 million to more than $350 million during the last days of trial—and that negotiations by four brokers with 30-plus surety companies still resulted in no deal. One of the brokers provided additional context, saying a $100 million bond was considered large and a $464 million bond (which includes the ordered interest) is something few sureties have the ability to issue and would issue only for large publicly traded companies.

The attorney general had argued that these affidavits still didn’t provide enough information on why the defendants had been turned down, suggesting that Trump Organization assets aren’t as valuable as the defense claims.

Of course. Of course. There isn’t enough information in the world that would satisfy the legal assassin who boasted that if elected, she would aggressively investigate Trump’s businesses and finances. This is an all-out partisan witch hunt to pump up her ego by providing the Marxist Democrats an in-kind donation with her election interference.

The fact that the court ordered her to withdraw her letter, while not an epic decision, is still a win for Trump’s defense and perhaps indicates James’ overreach and political calculus. The only way to raise the money would be to liquidate his real estate holdings, something that the defense argued was excessive.

President Trump had posted on social media that to divest of his buildings in a “fire sale” would create irreparable damage—he would lose the buildings he was appealing to keep.

“Perhaps worst of all, the Attorney General argues that Defendants should be forced to dispose of iconic, multi-billion-dollar real-estate holdings in a ‘fire sale,’” the defense’s letter reads. They called it ”textbook irreparable injury” to require the defendants to appeal without penalty only after taking such losses.

“It would be completely illogical—and the definition of an unconstitutional Excessive Fine and a Taking—to require Defendants to sell properties at all, and especially in a ‘fire sale,’ in order to be able to appeal the lawless Supreme Court judgment, as that would cause harm that cannot be repaired once the Defendants do win, as is overwhelmingly likely, on appeal,” the defense argued.

In other good news for Trump, a recent Marquette University/CNBC poll shows that Trump has all but demolished Biden on who Americans trust to handle the border.

“Look at that advantage that Donald Trump has on immigration and border security. It’s near 30 points. This is a tremendous change that’s going on and it’s no wonder that Donald Trump is running on immigration,” Enten observed, before adding, “Voters at this particular point are quite concerned about immigration, and they trust Donald Trump on this particular issue.”

Even among Hispanics.

“If you ask Hispanic voters, who do they trust more on border security and immigration? Overwhelmingly, they trust Donald Trump more, by a tremendous margin. Look at that: 49% to 24%. And that is in line with what we’re seeing in the polls in general among Hispanics, right?”

Meh. This is the same vibe I got in 2020. The country is fed up with the Marxist anti-Americans, but they hold all the power. I will be shocked if Trump wins come November.

Daily Broadside | Hordes of Foreigners Bum Rush The Border, Knock Down Armed Forces

Nothing to see here, just members of the Texas National Guard getting run over by a mob of foreigners demanding that we feed them and let them into our country because DiVerSiTY!

Just kidding, I made up that last part. But the rest is true.

It’s troubling to see that our previously “mighty” American armed forces can be so easily pushed aside. The hordes know that there aren’t any real consequences for breaking and entering. They just pressure tested our resolve and found it wanting. Now that it’s on film, expect to see even more of this tactic at other points of entry.

That’s what we get for undermining any semblance of rationality in our military and clandestine services and instead celebrate men wearing women’s clothes and diminish physical fitness standards.

Our vulnerability comes at a time when the worst international actors are making their way here to do us harm.

A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he’s a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York, The Post can reveal.

Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by the US Border Patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. While in custody, he was asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied, “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” according to a Border Patrol document exclusively obtained by The Post.

But Ebbadi later claimed in an interview that he had been trying to flee Lebanon and Hezbollah because he “didn’t want to kill people” and said “once you’re in, you can never get out,” according to internal US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents.

Gosh, let’s let him stay then.

Ebbadi said in a sworn interview after his arrest that he had trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served as an active member guarding weapons locations for another four years, the documents show.

Ebbadi’s training focused on “jihad” and killing people “that was not Muslim,” he said.

Border agents continue to see a surge in migrants whose names appear on the terror watchlist entering the US illegally as crossings continue at record levels.

As I’ve said again and again, the open borders are a deliberate tactic to introduce instability into our country and lock in one-party rule over the next few years. It doesn’t matter to our rulers whether we the people suffer or not because of the foreign hordes overrunning our communities. They will never have to deal with the effects of their decrees. The only thing that matters to them is accruing more and more power to themselves.

If you haven’t seen this, it’s a pretty accurate summary of what’s happening.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | American Citizens Are Now Under Siege

After yesterday’s warning about foreigners who are here illegally—you know, illegal aliens—being given the right to carry a gun by a woke Illinois judge, I’ve got one more reason you should buckle up and prepare for the inevitable.

A friend shared this with me yesterday, and I’ve seen it making the rounds. Listen to the whole thing.

Just listen to that entitled, excited arrogance. How long will it be before illegals with guns decide that taking over an empty house isn’t enough, or that they and their gang member friends want your house in addition to the one they’re squatting in?

They’re doing to our country what they’re doing to our stores and homes. Smash and grab, steal and destroy. Why, it’s almost as if they have no respect for their host country, the place where these poor, malnourished, destitute, innocent journeymen who are just looking for a better life have illegally come.

Daily Broadside | Texas Can Arrest Illegals But Illinois Judge Rules Illegals Can Carry Guns

Sorry I missed yesterday. Went to bed early with a headache.

Tuesday was Illinois’ primary voting day, so the missus and I carried out our civic duty. I was disappointed in the turnout … our voting precinct location was super quiet around 5:30 PM. I suppose there could have been more voters that came after work, but there was no line, no wait while we were there.

Empty.

I guess if the result is a foregone conclusion, voters aren’t motivated to show up. I vote as a matter of principle. Exercise your right to vote, just like you exercise your muscles.

Two really interesting developments concerning illegal aliens flooding our country. First, the US Supreme Court rescinded its stay on a Texas law that provides for the arrest and deportation of illegal aliens.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted its freeze of a Texas immigration law which allows state and local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants and empowers state judges to deport them.

The Court’s six conservative justices dismissed the Biden administration’s emergency appeal, allowing the law to remain in effect while the issue is adjudicated by lower courts. The majority did not explain its reasoning, as is typical, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, issued a concurring opinion explaining that Texas should be allowed to enforce its law until a lower court definitively strikes it down.

Note that the case has not been decided yet. This ruling was about whether the Texas law can continue to operate while the case is decided. It can, which means that Texas will begin to enforce its new law against illegal immigration.

Good.

Second, an astonishing ruling from a federal judge appointed by Obammy in (*ahem*) Illinois gives illegal immigrants the right to carry guns. I repeat: foreigners who are in this country illegally, who have no business being here, are allowed to carry.

A federal judge in Illinois has found that the Constitution protects the gun rights of noncitizens who enter the United States illegally.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman on Friday ruled that a federal prohibition on illegal immigrants owning firearms is unconstitutional as applied to defendant Heriberto Carbajal-Flores. The court found that while the federal ban is “facially constitutional,” there is no historical tradition of firearm regulation that permits the government to deprive a noncitizen who has never been convicted of a violent crime from exercising his Second Amendment rights.

“The noncitizen possession statute … violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores,” the judge wrote. “Thus, the Court grants Carbajal-Flores’ motion to dismiss.”

Coleman, a President Obama appointee, cited the landmark Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022), which established a new standard to determine whether a law violates the Second Amendment. Since Bruen, a multitude of federal and state gun control measures have been challenged in courts with mixed results. 

The “new standard” referred to is that the government must show that each regulation “is consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” This gets a little complicated, because there is federal law that prohibits noncitizens who are illegally here from possessing a firearm.

Carbajal-Flores is an illegal immigrant who, on June 1, 2020, was found to be in possession of a handgun in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago. He was subsequently charged with violating a federal law that prohibits any noncitizen who is not legally authorized to be in the U.S. from “possess[ing] in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.” 

In an April 2022 decision, Coleman denied Carbajal-Flores’ first motion to dismiss his indictment, finding that the ban was constitutional. However, Carbajal-Flores asked the court to reconsider that ruling following the Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen and appellate decisions in the Third and Seventh circuits that considered whether people convicted of nonviolent crimes can be prohibited from possessing firearms.

Basically, the foreigner here illegally is challenging what he and his lawyers consider a conflict between the federal law prohibiting possession of a gun, and the “new standard” that SCOTUS created to determine whether a law violates the Second Amendment.

I am not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV, so while this decision makes no sense to me on the surface, there are likely legal subtleties that are playing out under the surface.

For instance, how is someone who is violating our law with their very presence here somehow covered by the US Constitution, which was written by and for US citizens?

If illegals can carry guns, what does that mean for the 10 million illegals that have poured over our southern border over the last three years of the treacherous Brandon administration?

The article didn’t say whether Carbajal-Flores had concealed-carry license. If he didn’t, why do Illinois citizens have to have one? If he did, how did he get one if he’s an illegal alien?

From my go-to newspaper, The Epoch Times:

The ruling drew a range of reactions from people in the legal community.

“Supreme Court has said the ‘people’ are members of the political community,” Larry Keane, a lawyer for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, wrote on X. “Illegal aliens in US are not part of the political community and thus do not have 2A rights.”

Kostas Moros, a lawyer who represents the California Rifle and Pistol Association, said that he also saw the issue that way.

“Bruen asks for a historical tradition of modern regulation that justifies the modern law, and one plainly exists here,” he wrote, noting that groups that have been disarmed in the past, including loyalists, have the common thread of being “outside of the political community.”

What gobsmacks me is that the judge considers the new standard to overrule the clear language of the federal law prohibiting possession by illegals. We have a group of activist judges who are making novel rulings that violate the letter and the spirit of the law.

This ruling is particularly troubling because of news like this:

The leader of a notorious street gang that has been terrorizing business owners and residents in Colombia’s capital was arrested earlier this week in Texas, where he was seeking asylum.

Venezuelan national Aderbiss Pirela was taken into custody by federal and local agents in New Braunfels, outside San Antonio, on Tuesday, Homeland Securities Investigations confirmed Wednesday. 

Pirela, according to Colombian authorities, is the second-in-command of ‘Los Satanás,’ and was one of the seven most wanted murderers in Bogotá. 

My recommendation is that you haven’t yet, arm yourself and buy ammo—lots of ammo.

And don’t forget that the muttonhead and his cabal in the White House are the ones who have done this to us.

Daily Broadside | Legacy Media Seizes On Trump “Bloodbath” Comments in Act of Journalistic Sabotage

If you weren’t convinced that the “mainstream” media is your mortal enemy, this should put all questions to rest.

On Friday Trump was in Ohio talking about China building automobile manufacturing plants in Mexico, and planning to sell the vehicles in the United States. He frames his comments as being for Chinese president Xi and says, “we’re gonna put a 100 percent tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those [cars].”

He immediately follows that with, “if I get elected,” meaning that his plan will only happen if he wins the presidency back this fall.

Then, as Trump is wont to do, he speaks in hyperbole, saying, “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath, for the whole—that’s going to be the least of it. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for the country, that’ll be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars” and he continues to talk about the factories being built in Mexico.

It’s clear that the former president’s comment about a “bloodbath” are part of his commentary about Chinese car manufacturing plants in Mexico. But what do the journalistic rags take as the lede?

Makes for a great headline, doesn’t it? Note that the lede isn’t “Trump says he will place a 100 percent tariff on cars coming from Mexico if elected.” Yawn.

The Wall Street Journal at least had the integrity to put Trump’s comments in context.

But the legacy media, the stenographers for the Democrats, took his “bloodbath” comments and made that the lede, insinuating that Trump is threatening or predicting violence if he isn’t elected. It’s all part of the grand effort to sabotage Trump in the eyes of the public, an ongoing campaign of misinformation and disinformation.

There are some good news outlets that can be trusted, like The Epoch Times, which handled the controversy as good reporting should.

Besides, it isn’t as if the media isn’t familiar with the term bloodbath.

You have good reason to distrust the media.

And you should.

Daily Broadside | Elderly Man With Poor Memory Crowned Democrat Nominee

The stair-tripping, mumble-slurring, stage-wandering, shambolic disgrace that is our so-called “president” has apparently been crowned—again—by the degenerates on the Left as their standard-bearer come November 2024.

[So-called] President Joe Biden on March 12 secured the Democratic nomination after an overwhelming win in swing-state Georgia, as his rival former President Donald Trump appears likely to clinch the Republican nomination when several primaries are called later this evening.

President Trump also easily won the Georgia Republican primary on Tuesday, according to a projection by the Associated Press. The Peach State allocates 59 Republican delegates.

“I am honored that the broad coalition of voters representing the rich diversity of the Democratic Party across the country have put their faith in me once again to lead our party—and our country—in a moment when the threat Trump poses is greater than ever,” President Biden said in a statement shared by the White House upon his becoming the presumptive Democratic Party’s nominee.

“Threat.” This from a pathetic dictator wannabe who fronts B. Hussein Obama’s third term and has made the US the laughing stock of the world.

If we lived in anything resembling a free constitutional republic, he’d be tossed to the curb by a landslide come November 5. But because we live in “muh democracy!” that resembles Alice’s upside down and backwards Wonderland, the only way to beat this imposter is to vote in such numbers that the margin of victory is too great for the anti-Americans to cheat like they did in 2020.

Good luck with that.

Trump has also been declared the presumptive nominee for the Republican ticket, setting up the most anticipated—and reviled—rematch of the new century.

Former President Trump is officially the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Trump clinched his party’s 2024 nomination Tuesday when Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state held primaries.

With no major challengers left, both Trump and [so-called “president”] Biden, who locked up his party’s nomination earlier in the evening, were on course to collect all or nearly all the delegates up for grabs in Tuesday’s contests, putting each of them over the top and making them the Democratic and Republican presumptive presidential nominees.

Patriots and conservatives, along with like-minded Republicans, face headwinds from half the country who hate them, along with groups like this one that plans to take out $50 million in ads opposing Trump (paywall).

A Republican group dedicated to opposing former President Donald J. Trump is planning to spend $50 million to stop him through a series of homemade testimonial videos of voters who backed him in past elections but say they can no longer support him in 2024.

The group, Republican Voters Against Trump, first emerged in the 2020 campaign and made a return appearance for the 2022 midterm elections. It is run by Sarah Longwell, a leading figure in Never-Trump politics whose focus groups and polling are a staple of center-right podcasts and have made her a go-to figure for political reporters aiming to decipher the motivations behind Trump supporters.

She’s not “center-right” but, hey, it’s a free country. You can support or oppose whoever you want. But don’t try to sell me on how principled you are compared to me. If you’re trying to damage Trump you are actively aiding and abetting the Democrats in their quest to destroy America, and that puts you squarely in the “anti-America” camp. And the big grifters camp. And the David French camp.

We have exactly one chance to get this right. As Benjamin Franklin (may have) said at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

These clowns want us to all hang seperately.

Daily Broadside | With Republicans Like These, Who Needs Democrats?

Wait long enough and the truth starts to leak out.

A previously hidden transcript of an interview conducted by a U.S. House of Representatives panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol has been revealed, undermining a committee claim.

Anthony Ornato, who was the White House deputy chief of staff during the breach, told the committee that he overheard Mark Meadows, who was then chief of staff, on the phone with Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser. According to the transcript, Mr. Meadows wanted to ensure Ms. Bowser “had everything she needed.”

Mr. Meadows “wanted to know if she need[ed] any more guardsmen,” Mr. Ornato testified. “And I remember the number 10,000 coming up of, ‘The president wants to make sure that you have enough.’ You know, ‘He is willing to ask for 10,000.’ I remember that number. Now that you said it, it reminded me of it.”

Ms. Bowser said that “she was all set,” Mr. Ornato recalled.

Mr. Ornato was speaking on Jan. 28, 2022, to the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

The committee said in its final report that it “found no evidence” supporting the idea that former President Donald Trump ordered 10,000 troops to be ready for Jan. 6.

“The former J6 Select Committee apparently withheld Mr. Ornato’s critical witness testimony from the American people because it contradicted their pre-determined narrative,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who released the transcript, said in a statement.

“Mr. Ornato’s testimony proves what Mr. Meadows has said all along, President Trump did in fact offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol, which was turned down,” Mr. Loudermilk, the chairman of the House Administration Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight, added.

Speaking to Fox News, Mr. Meadows previously said, “As many as 10,000 National Guard troops were told to be on the ready by the secretary of defense. That was a direct order from President Trump.”

You know who was on the J6 committee? Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, two of the most cowardly, traitorous RINOed Republicans that exist.

From Fox News:

Ornato’s interview was conducted in January 2022 and attended by Cheney, among other members on the committee. In addition to serving as deputy chief of staff under Trump, Ornato served in the Secret Service for decades.

The committee, which included seven Democrats and two now-former Republican Congress members, Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, concluded that it found “no evidence” that the Trump administration called for 10,000 National Guard members to Washington, D.C., to protect the Capitol.

Cheney and Kinzinger LIED to us. They were part and parcel of railroading Trump. They deserved getting kicked out of Congress. With Democrats beating us over the heads and stabbing us in the back, who needs anyone on “our” side who acts like a Democrat?

As more evidence emerges, it’s clear that J6 was a set up and the people arrested and kept in solitary in the Garland Archipelago and then sentenced to outrageous jail terms are victims of a miscarriage of justice in the service of evil political ends.

You can’t trust the government, and you especially can’t trust Democrats. Democrats must be banned from participation in our political life. That includes Cheney and Kinzinger.

Daily Broadside | Illegal Aliens Will Be Counted in the Census and Swing Power to the Democrats

I wrote Friday about an outrageous and frankly, illegal, criminal scheme that the Democrats are engaged in: flying illegal foreigners directly into the United States of America and depositing them in 43 different cities. Some 320,000 illegals, who have no legal right to enter the United States, have been secretly flown in by the Democrats since late 2022.

Here’s why they’re doing it, and you should be outraged.

Most Americans do not know that the US census currently counts, for purposes of voting power, all people in a district, regardless of citizenship! Senate Democrats just voted unanimously to defeat an amendment that would have stopped counting illegals for congressional seat apportionment and electoral college (presidential) votes. Since illegals are mostly in Democrat states, both the House and the Presidential vote are shifted ~5% to the left, which is enough to change the entire balance of power! This is a major reason why the Biden administration is ushering in record levels of illegals and doing so few deportations.

Democrat traitors are making a power grab that will give them permanent electoral power. This is how Tucker Carlson describes the scheme:

  • Fact 1: 22 million illegal aliens in the US (I personally think it’s much, much higher).
  • Fact 2: Democrats are calling for the legalization of all illegals in the country with citizenship voting rights.
  • Fact 3: The overwhelming majority of first time immigrant voters vote Democrat.
  • Fact 4: The largest margin in US presidential history was 17 million votes.

In other words, historically conservative, traditional Americans will be subject to the Democrats’ radical policies, as we already are in much of the country. But it will get worse: we will be dispossessed of anything resembling our current freedoms, rights and citizenship if we oppose our rulers.

What we are experiencing is a silent coup d’état or a silent putsch, an overthrow of the current structure of governmental power, largely out of sight, and it is being executed by literal traitors in our government.
