Fake federal agent who befriended Secret Service had visas from Iran, claimed ties to Pakistani intelligence
If you were an undercover foreign spy trying to gain the trust of your neighbors, would you be telling them that you could access their cell phones at any time? The two were also apparently seen by residents placing surveillance equipment around the building, which is the sort of thing that might lead me to go to the building’s management and say, “Uh, what’s up with these two?”

Also weird: One witness told the feds that Tarehzadeh and Ali tried to recruit him for their pretend task force at DHS — and then they shot him with an Airsoft rifle, supposedly to test his tolerance for pain. Which seems like another seemingly inexplicable risk for a foreign agent to take. Why chance it that the person you’re “recruiting” will object to the treatment and complain to someone at DHS, inadvertently blowing your cover?

CO Governor Signs Bill Codifying ‘Fundamental Right to Abortion’
On Monday, Colorado’s Democrat Governor Jared Polis signed HB 22-1279, euphemistically dubbed the “Reproductive Health Equity Act,” enshrining abortion as a “fundamental right.” Polis declared that the pro-abortion law “codifies a person’s fundamental right to make reproductive healthcare decisions free from government interference.” Fearing that the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade, Colorado’s Democrat-controlled legislature acted to ensure that the state would keep abortion legal. The law explicitly dehumanizes the preborn, stating that “a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent or derivative rights under the law of this state.”
In other words, in Colorado, preborn humans are officially not recognized as human and therefore have no legal standing. Polis himself promoted the abortion lobby’s unscientific dehumanization of the preborn so as to wash his and the government’s hands of any obligation to protect the most innocent: “The serious decision to start or end a pregnancy with medical assistance will remain between a person, their doctor, and their faith.”
Not only does the law remove any government protection for the preborn, it in fact bars any public entity from restricting abortion for almost any reason. “This will go down as one of the worst days in Colorado history,” lamented Jeff Hunt, president of the Colorado think tank Centennial Institute. “Proabortionists at the Colorado capital sealed the fate of countless lives.”

Proud Boys leader pleads guilty to Jan. 6 conspiracy, agrees to cooperate
Charles Donohoe, a 34-year-old leader of the right-wing group’s North Carolina chapter, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding a law enforcement officer.
Donohoe was among a group of six Proud Boys leaders, including Enrique Tarrio, the organization’s national leader, charged with conspiracy last month.
He is the first member of the group to plead guilty and agree to cooperate with the government.
A Taste for Freedom
Citizens are free when they see and respect their dependence on each other. They can best continue to do what they know to be the right thing if they are committed to political self-rule. Ukraine’s spirited defense of itself is a shining example of this kind of freedom. Ukrainian defiance has shaken many people across the world from their complacency and cynicism.
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.” —Thomas Jefferson (1787)

A ‘Silent Mariel’ Airlift from Cuba Underway Just in Time for Massive Phase II of the Biden Border Crisis
Nicaragua Ministry of Tourism: ‘They are lovers of volcanoes. They don’t have volcanoes’
Rather than array forces to stop, block, deter, and take asylum off the table, Biden’s DHS appears to be marshaling resources — people, transportation, housing, and medical services — to expand its capability to usher in all comers as smoothly as possible, vaccinate them against Covid-19, and then release them on humanitarian paroles into the American interior as eventual “asylum seekers” asked to self-report later to an immigration office.
Expect the exodus-by-air from the economically troubled island nation of 11 million to fully fill a lane of the post-Title 42 superhighway now under construction to America’s border.
Town by town, prosecutors build war crimes cases
The prosecutor general's office estimates the country is using about 50,000 investigators from five different law enforcement agencies to investigate war crimes. They are conducting interviews across the country and meticulously documenting evidence that they hope to use in war crimes prosecutions against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the military force he sent to invade Ukraine..

Durham Filings Reveal Timeline of Conspiracy to Frame Trump
Dunham’s court filings over the last several months lay out a sequence of events that the special counsel believes adds up to a conspiracy, Just the News reports, and it started the very same day that James Comey’s FBI cleared Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing for storing classified information on her private email server.
On that day, July 5, 2016, Christopher Steele delivered the first version of his infamous dossier on Trump. The FBI field office didn’t act on it right away, but Clinton operatives and lawyers were already snooping around for more “evidence” of collusion, namely internet domain name service logs tying Trump to the Kremlin via secret back channels with Alfa Bank.
Russian Torture Chamber Discovered in Liberated Ukraine Town
The worst was in the basement of the dacha. “We found 18 bodies in there,” he said. “They had been torturing people. Some of them had their ears cut off. Others had teeth pulled out. There were kids like 14, 16 years old, some adults. They just took the bodies away yesterday.”
Thanks to a massive data breach, we can identify at least 120,000 Russian soldiers and their units of assignment thanks to a hack by “Anonymous.”

Green Supply-Chain Rules Set to Rattle the Global Economy
Making a box of Cocoa Puffs is a complicated global affair. It could start with cocoa farms in Africa, corn fields in the U.S. or sugar plantations in Latin America. Then thousands of processors, transporters, packagers, distributors, office workers and retailers join the supply chain before a kid in Minnesota, where General Mills is based, pours the cereal into a bowl.
Now imagine the challenge that General Mills faces in counting the greenhouse gas emissions from all of these people, machines, vehicles, buildings and other products involved in this Cocoa Puff supply chain – then multiply that by the 100-plus brands belonging to the food giant.
Thousands of public companies may soon have such a daunting task to comply with a new set of climate rules proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Here are Russia’s alleged war crimes in the Ukraine invasion
Russia is under international fire over alleged war crimes committed during its invasion of Ukraine.
Days after the war began, the International Criminal Court opened an investigation into alleged war crimes by Russia.
And this week, as Russian troops left communities around Kyiv, photos and videos of civilians dead in the streets — seemingly targeted by Russian troops — have circulated widely.
President Biden has called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal” for the actions of his country’s troops.
Russia has denied all accusations of war crimes and targeting civilians.

UN General Assembly Votes to Suspend Russia From Human Rights Council
Late Thursday morning, the United Nations General Assembly took a vote regarding Russia’s seat on the Human Rights Council. Ahead of the vote, the US lead the move to suspend Russia’s membership on the council. Shortly before noon, news broke that the measure had passed, 93-24 (with 58 members abstaining).

The abortion undeground: A network of activists prepares for a post-Roe
Below the grass roots is the underground: a small network of community providers who connect with abortion seekers by word of mouth. This network, too, is growing. Its ranks include midwives, herbalists, doulas, and educators. When necessary, they are often willing to work around the law. A sprawling grassroots infrastructure has already grown in the cracks created by such challenges, even with Roe still the law of the land. More than 90 local organizations known as abortion funds raise money to pay for procedures and related expenses.

Russia after Sanctions: Pirate or Mafia State?
Russia is now the most sanctioned economy in the world. These unprecedented sanctions open new frontiers of illegal activity. The likely outcome is the expansion of illicit supply chains for delivering regulated/prohibited goods (e.g., luxury goods, machinery and technology) and foreign currency cash to Russia.
The fungibility of the gold reserves that Russia owns and hopes to use as an economic lifeline, also depends on shadow and illicit gold markets
.
As the commercial entities in neighboring countries and
Russia’s trade partners shy away from direct complicity in sanctions-busting fearing secondary sanctions from the West, Russian intelligence agencies, private companies and illicit proxies of Russian state e.g., Russian organised crime networks are the best candidates for picking up the slack.
Depending on the longevity of sanctions the Russian economy may become widely dependent on illicit supply chains and associated criminal networks.

Iconic Rockers Pay Tribute to Gov. Ron DeSantis in New Hit Song 'Sweet Florida' VIDEO
Two of the legendary Van Zant brothers have written a tribute song to the popular governor, highlighting his efforts to keep Florida free while heavy-handed efforts by Democrats, from Joe Biden to liberal governors across America, have continued to try their damnedest to impose draconian control after draconian control on the freedom-loving people of this great country.
The official music video, featuring DeSantis listening to the song with Johnny Van Zant was posted to YouTube, and audio versions of the song are also available on major music streaming services. As I was writing the piece, I couldn’t help but smile to myself. “Just one more thing about DeSantis for the left to lose its crap over” VIDEO

Same Lies, Different Gig for Jen Psaki
We take no joy in reporting that Jen Psaki, the dissembling redhead with the commercial-grade mop and bucket, will one day soon handle her last clean-up on Aisle 6. After that, Joe Biden’s teller of tall tales will head off to MSNBC as the latest talking-head to go from the White House communications team to cable news punditry. Psaki, though, who has distinguished herself as a yarn-spinner of the first order, is trying to play it cool. At Friday’s press briefing, she neither confirmed nor denied those reports. “You can’t get rid of me yet,”
As Joe Biden’s Minister of Truth, his changer of poopy diapers, Psaki has been misleading the American people about everything from her boss’s disastrous handling of Afghanistan to the administration’s missteps on COVID-19 to its insistence that Biden’s $3.5 trillion Build Back Better boondoggle didn’t actually cost anything to Old Joe’s repeated gaffes on the war in Ukraine. Frankly, if you can imagine the story, it’s likely that Biden has said something stupid about it.

USCIS Director Wants American Taxpayers to Pay for Illegal Alien
Work Permits
The Biden administration wants to keep humanitarian immigration high without increasing fees. To accomplish this, Jaddou pleaded with the committee to appropriate taxpayer funds specifically to cover the cost of all the “free” adjudications, requests that are typically filed by illegal aliens.
It was one thing to change the USCIS mission statement, but Jaddou wants to essentially “have her cake and eat it too” by having American taxpayers directly bear the financial burden of the Biden administration’s open-borders, high-refugee-level policies while artificially keeping the cost of legal immigration benefits low to appease the immigration bar and business community.
The American people are already paying a steep price for the Biden administration’s refusal to enforce our immigration laws. It would add insult to injury to force them to pay for it out of their own pocketbooks as well.

The State: It’s Oligarchs All the Way Down
During the Soviet era, there were no real prices because of the Communists’ incessant, blanket meddling in economic activity. Nobody knew what anything was really worth. Not a loaf of bread, not a mine full of uranium. It was all owned and redistributed by the state. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the state of course disappeared. Suddenly, there were no prices, and no owners. It was like a gigantic economic free-for-all. A “Wild West,” as the saying goes. Everything was up for grabs.
Lenin called World War I a war among the capitalists of Europe. He was wrong. It was a war among oligarchs, statists who extract wealth from legitimate economic activity at the barrel of a gun. In the midst of this chaos the worst of the worst rose to the top.
A kind of national gang culture emerged, and the logic of this gangland mentality worked to sort out the spoils among the strongmen. statists have a natural incentive to legitimate one another’s plundering schemes. Presidents and prime ministers and kings drink to one another’s health at sumptuous galas paid for with private property taken from all the rest of us (who never get invitations to the ball).

How American Oligarchs Stole 2020
We just have to look at what we know to be true about the efforts of social media oligarchs and the left-wing media.
For example, we know that social media and their Big Media allies spiked the true story of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
They lied and claimed it was Russian disinformation. That manipulation of the real news “rigged” the election.
But Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg did much more than simply use his social media platform to censor news. He used his massive fortune to ensure that Donald Trump lost the election.
We’ve reported before on how “Zuck bucks” influenced local elections offices. Now a new documentary has been produced that will open the eyes of the American people, revealing how one American oligarch stole the election.
Think about this: The Democrat National Committee spent $461 million in the election. Mark Zuckerberg spent $400 million. He was like a second “DNC” boosting Joe Biden and Democrat candidates.
“Zuck bucks” were poured into key states as “grants” to help make it easier for people to vote during the pandemic.

Rehabilitating Masculinity
In Genesis, God orders by division, horizontal as well as vertical, a process that includes the sexes, marriage, and the church: that is, the Body of Christ. “God’s ordering of creation by division is not just a separation into kinds, but into hierarchies. Authority and submission, strong and weak, height and depth, holy and common, inner and outer, greater and lesser—these are all built into the structure of the cosmos from the very days of creation… and they are all very good”
We have all been repeatedly warned against toxic masculinity in church leaders. Foster and Tennant warn us against a toxic femininity that has browbeaten men into being ashamed of their masculinity and embracing androgyny. They warn us as well about the subtle ways in which churches teach men “to see themselves as androgynous spirits, trapped in bodies that, unlike women’s, have nasty, sinful urges”.
This emasculation of men, when combined with society’s call to women to act like men in order to displace men in leadership roles, plays perfectly into Satan’s hands—for Satan enjoys nothing more than preventing us from fulfilling God’s mandate to be fruitful and multiply.

Who Made the Supreme Court King?
For the last 100 years, most Americans have assumed the federal court system, and ultimately the Supreme Court, stands as the final arbiter in any constitutional controversy. But who made the federal courts king? The Constitution certainly didn’t. Take a moment and go look for the clause in the Constitution that delegates to the Supreme Court the power to serve as the sole and final authority on what is or isn’t constitutional. You won’t find it, because it does not exist. The Constitution tasks the Court with “judging cases.” So, who placed the Supreme Court at the pinnacle of Constitutional interpretation?
Why, the Supreme Court itself did!

Democrats Need to Be Destroyed
How do you negotiate with a terrorist? You can’t. They want you dead, you don’t want to be dead; where is the compromise? Can you be half-dead? One-quarter dead? Can you offer them an arm if they’ll just leave the rest of you alone? If they accepted, would you believe them? You’d be an idiot to do so, just like you’d be an idiot to believe anything coming out of the mouths of Democrats these days.
No “good faith effort” is going to make them honest, they are lying frauds out to destroy everything great in this country. They’re a Terminator for American Exceptionalism. As such, they have no conscience, they can’t be reasoned with, they must be destroyed.

Of Course, The GOP Has Found a Way to Totally Blow the 2022 Midterms
Joe Biden’s approval ratings are radioactive waste. It’s starting to contaminate his party down-ticket. The GOP is heavily favored to retake the House. We have an inflation crisis. We have an emerging energy crisis. We have a war in Ukraine. We have a supply chain crisis, and the southern border is beyond catastrophic. The political winds are at hurricane force level right now and it’s all to the back of the Republican Party. They’re cruising to a red tsunami come November. Democrats by the dozens are retiring, so how does the GOP take advantage of all these political winds? They’re going to hold talks with Democrats…on immigration reform.

The Swindle of Mass Testing and Schooling
A similar thing is happening in today’s education system. Politicians, teachers, and other experts—the education doctors so to speak—all run madly around trying to figure out why our kids are performing so dismally in school, using Test XYZ or employing big data to track their progress. And like the doctors, such emphasis on tests and tracking often misses the real problem with today’s education system: mass schooling is one big hustle—or swindle—that can often hurt children more than it helps them.
There may be grains of truth to these arguments, but they raise other questions. For starters, why does the government need to know what’s going on with a child at such a young age? Such an assumption signals that the public schools, not the parents, are responsible for the proper growth and training of children, which, last I checked, is not the case.

How Parents Can Fight and Defeat Critical Race Theory
Changing hearts and minds must also be part of the process. “Fighting against Critical Race Theory must be a fight against its tenets and principles. Slapping a CRT ‘ban’ here and there isn’t the solution,” Wigfall said. “Many on the left defend CRT [saying] it’s merely ‘teaching an accurate history’ or a legal theory to explore how institutions and society are systemically racist. The problem is CRT goes deeper than that [so] it’s important to define CRT as it defines itself.”
It seems the only way to oppose and defeat CRT is to fight continuously and with a long-haul approach in mind. The fight will take years, perhaps decades. But it’s a good fight, and those called to it must engage for battle. Parents should not be dismayed; instead, they should educate themselves, organize, and seek help from groups already battling CRT. And they should pray for their children, political leaders, and teachers … and not be afraid.

Wikipedia's Dirty
Little Secret
When Wikipedia was founded, it was based on open-source principles (though it was never technically an open-source project).
Basically, anyone who had access to the internet could go in and add to or edit articles. The idea was to crowdsource the vast knowledge in the universe to come up with accurate articles that could be used by anyone anywhere, free of charge. It was a great idea in theory, but it hasn’t panned out that way.
In recent years it has devolved into left-wing tyranny by moderators who have an agenda, many of whom apparently have an ax to grind.

Inflation Isn't What the "Experts" Say It Is. The Confusion in Terms Is Deliberate
Inflation, monetary inflation specifically, is as desired and necessary by the state as food is necessary for human nourishment. Inflation, more so than taxation, is the main nourishment that enables the state to, slowly but surely, grow into a large and far-reaching bureaucratic apparatus that intervenes across almost all aspects of social and economic affairs.
But because the state is the inherently violent and coercive, holding the power to legislate and enforce legislation, it is therefore inevitable that the government will, through political trickery and economic lies, undermine a sound money system in favor of the inflation facilitating fiat money system.

In Search of a Silver Bullet: Reducing the Supply of Synthetic Drugs to the U.S.
By Jim Crotty
Much of my professional career has been spent analyzing drug trafficking trends and U.S. counterdrug efforts. Never has the situation seemed so bleak.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 105,700 Americans died from drug overdoses in the past year, a five percent increase from the year before, and the highest number on record.
Of these, nearly 90 percent were attributed to synthetic drugs such as fentanyl and methamphetamine, which dominate the U.S. drug market and are now the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-45 – more than car accidents, firearms, and Covid-19

KYIV—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made an urgent plea for every American to make sure and do their taxes so that he will get paid.
The lovable actor-turned-president whose net worth stands at $1.3 billion says that he’s relying on the American taxpayer to “do your part” to ensure that Zelensky can maintain his fleet of private jets and luxury yachts.
“I turn to you in this critical moment, American taxpayer, because I have already siphoned off all of Ukraine’s disposable income. Please, please, please, pay your taxes so that I will get paid,” Zelensky said in a video directed to the American middle class.
Zelensky assured the American taxpayers that their global elites will get paid too.
“Please knowing that we are giving 10% of all the aid directed to my bank account right to the ‘Big Guy’ Joe Biden and of course Hunter Biden will receive his cut too,” Zelensky said.
“April 18th is approaching fast. Please don’t make the IRS come after you for my money,” Zelensky added.

Hillary Clinton Receives $225,000 Speaking Fee For Telling Grandson Bedtime Story
NEW YORK—According to tax filings obtained from the Clinton Foundation, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received a $225,000 speaking fee Wednesday night for telling her grandson a bedtime story.
“This was a standard payment to compensate Secretary Clinton for her limited time, and in recognition of the value her grandchild received from hearing a story about a wayward goat and his friend the silly giraffe,” Clinton Foundation spokesperson Jennifer Alpert said in a disclosure statement that also included the itinerary for the hour-long event with the 2-year-old at his home in Manhattan’s Flatiron District
. “This was actually substantially lower than the secretary’s typical speaking fees, which is a testament to how much reading to her grandson aligns with the values of the Clinton Foundation. She even stayed afterward to sign a copy of the book and take any questions Jasper might have.” Alpert added that the appearance was really a steal when you considered the $2.5 million Clinton received for attending her daughter’s wedding.

Academy Bans Will Smith for 10 Years, Solving All of World's Problems

Surely this news—which comes extremely late after Smith slapped Oscars presenter Chris Rock for mocking his wife and changes absolutely nothing—comes as a relief to all of those for whom Smith’s continued presence at celebrity awards shows was sure to destroy life as they know it.

Buttigieg Brushes Up On Honking For Upcoming Talks With Nation’s
Big Rigs
WASHINGTON—His lips flaring as he forced the loud blasts out of his lungs, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg reportedly brushed up on his honking Thursday in preparation for an important conference with the nation’s big rigs. “If we’re ever going to find common ground with these 18-wheelers, it’s essential that I speak their language,” said Buttigieg, who hoped to avoid a repeat of the disastrous 2021 rail summit during which he used an errant and unscripted “choo-choo” that elicited widespread criticism, forcing his aides to walk back the offensive train-whistle sounds.
“I took honking for a couple years in high school, so it’s all in here somewhere. While I’m certainly not fluent, just knowing how to honk ‘Good morning’ and ‘My name is Pete Buttigieg’ will go a long way toward building trust with America’s semitrucks. The last thing I want to do is rely on a translator for a basic expression like diesel or jackknife or Dead Man’s Curve.” At press time, sources confirmed Buttigieg was watching YouTube videos of big rigs honking to make sure he had the accent down.
