Pittsburgh Cops Injured at Butler Trump Rally are under Investigation

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Pittsburgh Citizen Police Review Board is still investigating how a group of Pittsburgh motorcycle cops who ended up at the deadly July 13 Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the agency’s director told Headline USA on Tuesday.

The review board’s investigation stems from Pittsburgh sending 10 motorcycle officers to the Trump rally. The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police reportedly said that those motorcycle officers weren’t actually approved to help with the Trump rally. Instead, they should have been available to help with First Lady Jill Biden’s visit to Pittsburgh at the same time, according to local news station WPXI.

At the Trump shooting, four of the Pittsburgh cops were hit with shrapnel. They were treated at the scene, and two were briefly hospitalized with minor injuries.

Two days later, two of the injured Pittsburgh cops were transferred to other units.

When asked about the matter earlier this month, Pittsburgh police denied that the transfer of the two officers had anything to do with their presence at the Trump rally. But on Tuesday, Pittsburgh Citizen Police Review Board director Beth Pittinger told Headline USA that some of the police officers had been “demoted.”

 

Pittsburgh police denying that the transfer of the two officers had anything to do with their presence at the Trump rally.

“No discipline was issued, although there was initially a demotion issued to senior officers at the scene. However, I believe those have been grieved, so they’re going forward through the grievance process with the city,” Pittinger said during an online review board meeting, which this reporter attended.

“There is, of course, an issue: We’re still trying to determine how they got there in the first place. Who authorized them to attend the rally? The people who were injured—they were fortunate to have our officers there to help them. But as far as protocol goes, there remains the question as to who authorized their presence at that rally,” she said.

“It’s not unusual for Pittsburgh motorcycle officers to provide escorts, but they were there for the whole thing, so that’s what we’re trying to understand better. We don’t have an answer for that yet,” she added.

The review board will meet again next month, and Headline USA plans to attend for an update on the Pittsburgh cops. This publication has also filed a Pennsylvania Right to Know Law request for records that may shed light on the matter—including whether the officers were assigned to the Trump rally or went there on their own accord.

Midweek Memo: Fed’s Surprising Rate Cut and Its Implications for Gold & Silver

Midweek Memo: Fed’s Surprising Rate Cut and Its Implications for Gold & Silver

(Money Metals News Service) In a recent episode of the Money Metals Midweek Memo, hosted by Mike Maharrey, key economic developments, precious metals trends, and the Federal Reserve’s latest actions were discussed. 

Maharrey analyzed how the Fed’s policies, particularly the unexpected rate cuts, are influencing markets, driving stock prices, and impacting gold and silver investments.

Fed’s Supersized Interest Rate Cut

During the September 2024 meeting, the Federal Reserve made a surprising move, cutting interest rates by 50 basis points, bringing the federal funds rate to a range between 4.75% and 5%. This marked the first rate cut since 2020. While some market participants speculated that a smaller rate cut was likely, few expected such a large reduction.

Maharrey emphasized that this aggressive action signals deeper concerns within the Fed about the state of the U.S. economy.

“Think about what the Federal Reserve people are saying: they’re telling you that the economy is great, but there’s still some inflationary pressure out there,” Maharrey said.

However, he noted, “Why did they just order a supersized interest rate cut? That’s the kind of thing you usually see in the early stages of a recession.”

Historically, similar rate cuts preceded significant economic downturns, such as the 2001 recession and the 2008 financial crisis. Maharrey warned, “What the Fed just did, if you look at it historically, it’s not great news—it’s telling us ‘uh-oh,’ we might be setting ourselves up for another crisis.”

Easy Money and Stock Market Reactions

Despite the Fed’s cautious language, the stock market responded favorably to the promise of a return to easy money. Since the Fed signaled the potential for rate cuts months ago, the stock market has surged. For instance, the S&P 500 has seen a 20.8% return in 2024, while the NASDAQ is up 21.7%, and the Dow Jones is up 11.6%.

Maharrey explained, “If you look at a graph, movements in the stock market correlate almost perfectly with the trajectory of Federal Reserve monetary policy. When the Fed loosens monetary policy, it drives bull markets in stocks.”

Gold Outperforming Stocks in 2024

Surprisingly, gold has outperformed major U.S. stock indices this year. As of Monday, gold prices were up 27%, outpacing the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow Jones. “Gold is outperforming all of the major U.S. stock indices in 2024. Gold is up around 27% so far this year,” Maharrey pointed out.

He noted that easy money policies tend to weaken the U.S. dollar, which benefits gold. “Gold has outperformed the S&P 500 by about 6%, which was a little surprising even to me,” he said. If this trend continues, Maharrey added, “Gold is on track for its best return since 2010.”

Silver: More Upside Potential?

While gold has been the star performer, Maharrey reminded listeners not to overlook silver. Silver has gained roughly the same percentage as gold this year, but the gold-silver ratio remains historically high at 83:1, indicating silver is undervalued compared to gold. “Whenever we see these extra-wide gold-silver ratios, they tend to close—and close with a vengeance,” he noted.

Given this, Maharrey suggested silver has more upside potential than gold, especially since silver historically outperforms gold in the later stages of a bull market. “There are a lot of reasons to be optimistic about silver,” he added.

The Fed’s Conflicting Message on Inflation and the Economy

Maharrey expressed confusion over the Fed’s mixed signals. While the central bank speaks optimistically about inflation coming down and the economy expanding at a “solid pace,” the Fed’s aggressive rate cut suggests deeper concerns.

He cited Seema Shah, Chief Global Strategist at Principal Asset Management, who said, “A 50 basis point rate cut with no sign of economic turmoil is a unique move in history.”

Maharrey further noted that the Fed’s actions seem contradictory: “Powell downplayed the possibility of a recession, but you don’t aggressively ease monetary policy in a booming economy. What they’re doing doesn’t match up with the way they’re characterizing this economy.”

Despite Powell’s assurances of a “soft landing,” Maharrey questioned the logic behind the Fed’s decision. “Their actions speak louder than their words,” he stated, pointing to the historical precedents of similar rate cuts leading to recessions.

What’s Next for the U.S. Economy?

Maharrey remains skeptical of the Fed’s ability to engineer a soft landing, especially given the excessive debt load on the economy. He reminded listeners that the economy is still grappling with the inflationary consequences of previous easy money policies, particularly from the 2008 financial crisis and the pandemic.

He also warned that the Fed’s balance sheet reduction is slowing down, and it’s likely only a matter of time before the central bank halts this process entirely. This, Maharrey said, signals that the Fed is preparing to ramp up inflationary policies again.

Gold and Silver as a Hedge Against Inflation

Given the Fed’s inability to tame inflation and its tendency to revert to easy money policies, Maharrey encouraged listeners to consider gold and silver as hedges against the devaluation of the U.S. dollar. He emphasized, “You want to have real money—you want gold, you want silver.”

Maharrey concluded by advising investors to contact Money Metals Exchange to explore options for adding gold and silver to their portfolios: “Now is a great time to call 800-800-1865 and talk to a Money Metals precious metals specialist.”

Conclusion

The latest actions by the Fed reflect a deepening concern about the state of the U.S. economy, despite their optimistic messaging. For investors, the return to easy money is a signal to stay bullish on gold and silver. With gold up 27% so far this year and silver poised for potential outperformance, precious metals remain a compelling investment in the face of economic uncertainty.

As Maharrey advised, “Watch what they’re doing and act accordingly.”

Man w/ Criminal Case Sets Off Explosive Device at California Courthouse

Man w/ Criminal Case Sets Off Explosive Device at California Courthouse

(Headline USA) A 20-year-old man tossed an explosive device into the California courthouse where he was about to be arraigned on a gun charge, leaving five people with minor injuries.

The explosion also shut down the court complex and other nearby city buildings, police said.

The explosion occurred Wednesday morning in Santa Maria, a city of about 110,000 in California’s central coast region. The suspect ran away after the explosion and was captured as he tried to get into his vehicle parked nearby.

The man, who is from Santa Maria, was wearing body armor underneath his jacket, according to Santa Barbara County Undersheriff Craig Bonner, and was booked on attempted murder and explosives charges. Officials are also investigating whether the suspect is tied to a series of recent arsons.

Officials said it appeared the courthouse attack was related to his earlier arrest on a gun possession charge and not terrorism or an act of political violence.

“We do believe this is a local matter that has been safely resolved and that there are no outstanding community safety concerns,” Bonner said.

The suspect had been arrested last July for illegal gun possession and was to be arraigned Wednesday. When he entered the courthouse and approached the screening station he tossed a bag that then detonated.

Bonner said three of the five victims suffered burns. All were treated and released from a hospital. None were court employees.

Authorities evacuated a five-block radius of businesses, homes and a school after the explosion. The courthouse will be closed Thursday as police complete their investigation, and filing extensions will be offered for those affected by the shutdown.

Shane Mellon told KSBY-TV that he was at the courthouse when he heard what sounded like chairs falling over.

“It was a loud bang,” he said, adding the bailiff escorted him and others out.

Mellon said he saw what looked like a sweater smoldering and a man screaming while four or five people got on top of him, trying to keep him restrained.

“I think this could have been way worse than it was if not for the deputies just jumping on top of that guy,” Mellon said.

Santa Maria is about 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The courthouse, which houses state and county courtrooms, was where Michael Jackson was tried and acquitted of sexual abuse two decades ago.

NYC Mayor Adams Criminally Indicted, Refuses to Resign over DOJ ‘Lies’

NYC Mayor Adams Criminally Indicted, Refuses to Resign over DOJ ‘Lies’

(Headline USA) New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury on federal criminal charges, according to two people familiar with the matter, an extraordinary culmination to weeks of searches, subpoenas and resignations of top officials that have thrust the city’s government into crisis.

The indictment detailing the charges against Adams, a Democrat, was expected to be unsealed Thursday, according to the people, who spoke with the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan declined to comment.

In a speech recorded at his official residence, Adams said he would remain in office, describing any charges he may face as “entirely false, based on lies.”

“I always knew that if I stood my ground for all of you, that I would be a target—and a target I became,” Adams said. “I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit.”

It was not immediately clear what laws Adams is accused of breaking or when he might have to appear in court.

Federal investigators had seized Adams’s electronic devices nearly a year ago as part of an investigation focused, at least partly, on campaign contributions and Adams’s interactions with the Turkish government. Because the charges were sealed, it was unknown whether they dealt with those same matters.

The indictment was first reported by the New York Times.

It marks a stunning turn for Adams, a former police captain who won election nearly three years ago to become the city’s second black mayor on a campaign that stressed his working class roots and commitment to public safety.

But as Adams has made reducing crime a cornerstone of his administration, he has faced growing legal peril, with multiple federal investigations honing in on his top aides and his own campaign.

In the last two weeks alone, the leaders he appointed to oversee the country’s largest police force and largest schools system have announced their resignations.

Adams is the first mayor in New York City history to be indicted while in office. If he were to resign, he would be replaced by the city’s public advocate, Jumaane Williams, who would then schedule a special election.

Gov. Kathy Hochul has the power to remove Adams from office. Hochul spokesperson, Avi Small, issued a statement late Wednesday that said “Governor Hochul is aware of these concerning news reports and is monitoring the situation. It would be premature to comment further until the matter is confirmed by law enforcement.”

The indictment comes against the backdrop of the United Nations General Assembly, which has brought dozens of world leaders to New York, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The federal investigations into Adams administration first emerged publicly on Nov. 2, 2023, when FBI agents conducted an early morning raid on the Brooklyn home of his chief fundraiser, Brianna Suggs.

At the time, Adams insisted he followed the law and said he would be “shocked” if anyone on his campaign had acted illegally. Days later, FBI agents seized the mayor’s phones and iPad as he was leaving an event in Manhattan.

Then on Sept. 4, federal investigators seized electronic devices from the city’s police commissioner, schools chancellor, deputy mayor of public safety, first deputy mayor and other trusted confidantes of Adams both in and out of City Hall.

Federal prosecutors declined to discuss the investigations, but people familiar with elements of the cases described multiple, separate inquiries involving senior Adams aides, relatives of those aides, campaign fundraising and possible influence peddling of the police and fire departments.

A week after the searches, the city’s police commissioner, Edward Caban, announced his resignation. About two weeks later, Schools Chancellor David Banks announced he would retire at the end of the year.

Adams himself insisted he would keep doing the city’s business and allow the investigations to run their course.

Over the summer, federal prosecutors subpoenaed Adams, his campaign arm and City Hall, requesting information about the mayor’s schedule, his overseas travel and potential connections to the Turkish government.

Adams spent 22 years in New York City’s police department before going into politics, first as a state senator and then as Brooklyn borough president. He was elected as mayor in November 2021—a victory he has repeatedly said was ordained by God.

But after more than two years in office, Adams’s popularity has declined. While the city has seen an increase in jobs and a drop in certain categories of crime, the administration has struggled with an influx of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who overwhelmed the city’s homeless shelters.

Some, including Adams and former President Donald Trump, have hinted that it was Adams’s criticism of the Biden–Harris administration’s open-border policies that made him a target in the lawfare probe, much as the Justice Department has been weaponized against many of the White House’s political enemies under the current regime.

There has also been a steady drip of accusations and a swirl of suspicion around people close to the mayor.

In addition to the sprawling inquiries launched by Manhattan prosecutors, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn are investigating another one of Adams’s close aides, Winnie Greco, who had raised thousands of dollars in campaign donations from the city’s Chinese–American communities and later became his director of Asian affairs.

Greco hasn’t commented publicly on the FBI searches of her properties and continues to work for the city.

When agents seized electronic devices from Caban, the former police commissioner, in early September, they also visited his twin brother, James Caban, a former police officer who runs a nightlife consulting business.

Agents also took devices from the schools chancellor; his brother Philip Banks, formerly a top NYPD chief who is now deputy mayor for public safety; their brother Terence Banks, who ran a consulting firm that promised to connect businesses to government stakeholders; and from First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, who is David Banks’s domestic partner.

All denied any wrongdoing.

While those investigations churned, federal authorities also searched the homes of newly named interim police commissioner, Thomas Donlan, and seized materials unrelated to his police work. Donlon confirmed the search and said it involved materials that had been in his possession for 20 years.

In his speech Wednesday night, Adams appeared to cite that search as proof of overreach by federal investigators.

Hours before the charges were announced, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez called on Adams to resign, the first nationally prominent Democrat to do so. Adams reacted with scorn, dismissing Ocasio–Cortez as self-righteous.

Adams, who is expecting a tough primary election next year, faced additional calls to resign once the indictment became public Wednesday night, including from many of his declared or expected Democratic challengers in the mayoral race.

Brad Lander, the city’s comptroller, said the indictment marked “a sad day for New Yorkers.” State Sen. Zellnor Myrie added that it was “especially painful for so many [b]lack New Yorkers who put our hope and faith in this Mayor.”

Scott Stringer, a former city comptroller who is expected to run against Adams, said the indictment had left New York City “with a broken down trainwreck of a municipal government.”

Joe Borelli, the top Republican in the City Council, who is believed to be eyeing a run for mayor, said he would reserve judgment until viewing the charges.

Speaker Johnson Demands Zelenskyy Oust Ambassador over Partisan Pa. Visit

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) House Speaker Mike Johnson demanded that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fire his ambassador to the U.S. over Zelenskyy’s controversial visit to Pennsylvania on Sunday. 

During the visit, Zelenskyy, along with Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, toured an American manufacturing site. Republicans were allegedly excluded from the event, prompting Johnson to call out its partisan nature. 

“The tour was clearly a partisan campaign event designed to help Democrats and is clearly election interference,” Johnson wrote in a letter addressed to Zelenskyy. 

“This shortsighted and intentionally political move has caused Republicans to lose trust in Ambassador Markarova’s ability to fairly and effectively serve as a diplomat in this country. She should be removed from her post immediately,” the Republican speaker continued.

The letter echoed the criticism directed at the event after Zelenskyy and Shapiro were seen touring the facility, during which both men signed an artillery shells. Shapiro is a high-profile campaign surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris.

In the letter, Johnson reminded Zelenskyy of his previous pleas to Ukrainian officials “‘captured by American domestic politics,’ and ‘influencing the choices of the American people’ ahead of the November election.”  

He emphasized that this objective was “abandoned” and that Markarova is to blame. “These incidents cannot be repeated. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I trust you will take immediate action,” he concluded. 

It isn’t immediately clear whether Zelenskyy will fire his ambassador or whether she will step down voluntarily. 

Markarova and the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to Headline USA’s request for comments sent via email on Wednesday evening. 

In the letter, Johnson also delivered a stark warning against foreign meddling and opining in American elections. 

Zelenskyy was in the U.S. to present his alleged plan to defeat Russia, the neighboring country with which Ukraine is currently at war.

GOP Lawmaker Who Led Santos Ouster Now Tangled in Ethics Scandal

GOP Lawmaker Who Led Santos Ouster Now Tangled in Ethics Scandal

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) One of the Republican lawmakers behind the controversial ouster of disgraced former Rep. George Santos—an action that weakened the Republican majority—is now facing his own ethics issues. 

Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y., admitted hiring his lover and his fiancée’s daughter to work in the same district office, raising questions about potential ethics violations related to nepotism and House rules. 

D’Esposito, a New York delegation member who rose to power during the 2022 midterms, was among Santos’s most vocal critics, becoming the first lawmaker to demand his resignation even before a trial.

The New York Times reported Monday that D’Esposito hired his fiancée’s daughter as a special assistant with a salary of $3,800 per month. In April of the same year, he then hired Devin Faas, the woman with whom he allegedly had an affair, for a part-time position at $2,000 a month. 

Payments to both individuals ceased in July 2023, shortly after D’Esposito’s fiancée discovered the alleged affair, the liberal outlet reported. 

D’Esposito called The Times’s article a “hit piece,” insisting to CNN’s Manu Raju that he “did not violate any ethics, and that’s it.” 

When CNN inquired about “Devin Faas,” the lawmaker retorted, “The point is that there’s been no evidence that ethics have been violated.” When asked if the two individuals worked for him, he confirmed, “Yes, they worked in the office.” 

 

“Neither relationship violated any ethics,” D’Esposito maintained. He did not clarify whether he had retained any attorneys to investigate the Times’s allegations. 

The allegations against D’Esposito from The Times reveal actions that contradict his previous criticisms of Santos. “Santos does not have the ability to serve here in the House of Representatives and should resign,” D’Esposito said in January 2023.

The House ousted Santos after the House Ethics Committee determined he had violated campaign-related rules. He later entered a plea deal with federal investigators over these matters.

Santos took to X on Wednesday to demand D’Esposito resign from office, citing D’Esposito’s remarks against himself in 2023.

“You have disgraced the halls of Congress greed with your messy personal relationships and you have disgraced the constituents of NY4 with your toxic, corruption and misappropriation of federal tax payer funds when you hired your mistress for a no show job!” Santos commented. 

 

Santos’s ouster further weakened the already-slim Republican majority in the House. In contrast, the House has yet to deliver a similar fate to Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat currently facing bribery charges and allegations of acting as a foreign agent. 

Sen. Bob Menendez, another Democrat indicted by the DOJ for bribery and foreign agent violations, was not ousted by Senate Democrats.

He resigned from office in August 2024, nearly a year after being indicted—allowing him to continue receiving a taxpayer-funded salary for 11 months. 

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., reacted to the allegations during a press conference.

RFK Jr. Boasted About Nude Photos Reporter Sent Him During Sexting Affair

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) New details may reveal the cause of the alleged sexting affair between Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the former independent presidential candidate, and Olivia Nuzzi, a reporter for New York magazine. 

According to sources cited by the Daily Beast, rumors of this digital fling emerged after RFK Jr. reportedly bragged to friends about the intimate photos Nuzzi sent him. 

These rumors, first unveiled by former CNN reporter Oliver Darcy in his blog, ultimately led the magazine’s editor-in-chief, David Haskell, to confront Nuzzi about the alleged photos.

She initially denied the relationship but later came clean to Haskell, triggering the magazine to place her on leave pending an investigation. 

“Haskell told Nuzzi, 31, that he had been informed that Kennedy had bragged about his relationship with Nuzzi to others, including possessing photographs of her, and that they were in a romantic relationship,” the Beast reported. 

A spokesperson for Kennedy has not addressed the specific details of the scandal but told CNN, “Mr. Kennedy only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece.” 

But this statement contradicts what some of RKF Jr.’s allies have told several outlets. 

According to various sources, the sexting affair began after Nuzzi and RFK Jr. met in the fall of 2023 for a New York piece titled, “The Mind-Bending Politics of RFK Jr.’s Spoiler Campaign.” 

RFK Jr. reportedly attempted to cut off contact by blocking Nuzzi’s cellphone number. Nuzzi allegedly bypassed this by emailing him, claiming to have information about potential stories that could be damaging to him. 

Once unblocked, Nuzzi reportedly “bombarded” him with “increasingly pornographic” photos and videos that were “difficult to resist,” according to RFK Jr.’s friends in remarks to Jessica Reed Kraus’s Substack. 

“This had nothing to do with romance. He was being chased by porn,” said security expert Gavin de Becker, who is investigating the matter for possible civil action. 

Trump’s Numbers Are Undercounted, Way More Popular Among Voters

Trump’s Numbers Are Undercounted, Way More Popular Among Voters

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Many conservatives have been thinking lately that after Joe Biden left the presidential race and Kamala Harris replaced him, Donald Trump’s chances of winning this election became very small.

However, it was recently reported that Trump’s numbers are currently undercounted, with many Democrats becoming nervous about the fact and the latest poll that always favored Democrats showing that American adults are more likely to identify as Republicans, which automatically means that they would be voting for the party’s candidate this year — Trump.

For example, on Sept. 23, 2024, RealClearPolitics gave Harris a national 2.2-point lead, a margin of error. The National Pulse reported that Biden had a seven-point lead in 2020, and Hillary Clinton had a three-point lead in 2016, which means Harris is even more unpopular than these two politicians.

When asked about the pollsters potentially undercounting Trump’s success among voters to ruin the mood of conservatives, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., told The Hill that Democrats would need to work their hardest to win Pennsylvania, a battleground state.

“Polling has really been seriously damaged since 2016. And that’s one of the truths, is that Trump is going to be tough in Pennsylvania, and that’s absolutely the truth,” he said.

One Democratic senator who wished to remain anonymous admitted that Clinton and Biden were much more popular among voters in 2016 and 2020 than Harris is now.

“That’s ominous. There’s no question that is concerning, but you’re working as hard as you can, no matter what. My sense [is that] there’s not a lot more you can do than we’re already doing,” the senator said, adding that people may be unwilling to admit they will vote for Trump because they are afraid to share their true political beliefs.

However, it looks like people now are not afraid to openly state they are voting for Trump anymore, with the latest poll by Gallup indicating that American adults are more likely to identify as Republicans.

“More U.S. adults identify as Republican or say they lean toward the Republican Party (48%) than identify as or lean Democratic (45%),” Gallup wrote.

As a result, Republicans became more enthusiastic about voting, which resulted in them outperforming Democrats in early voting, as reported by Fox News.

Trump-Supporting Mom Confronts School for Forcing Daughter to Vote for Dems

Trump-Supporting Mom Confronts School for Forcing Daughter to Vote for Dems

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A mother in Pittsburgh recently released a video in which she stated that school workers pulled her 17-year-old daughter out of her class to register her to vote without the mother’s consent.

The mother, Kay Montana, added that the school officials told her daughter, Nyla, that she should not vote for Donald Trump because “black people would be doomed” if he became the president.

The video became viral on social media platforms, which resulted in conservatives getting angry about what happened and questioning whether other teenagers in the school were forced to register to vote.

Pennsylvania is a swing state that could change the outcome of the 2024 election.

In the video, Kay talked in detail about Nyla’s experience while in school.

“Why would you all pull my daughter out of class and tell her who to vote for? I am her mother, and I have yet to have this conversation with her about the upcoming election. I have not signed any consent forms allowing my daughter to register to vote at school,” she said in the video.

Kay said that even though her daughter is still technically a minor, she would become an adult on Oct. 5, 2024, which means that Nyla would have an entire month to register to vote at that point.

Kay learned about what happened only because her daughter told her, and no school officials were informing Kay about the situation. In the video, she also included screenshots of the text messages between her and Nyla discussing what happened.

Soon after releasing the first video, she posted a second one, capturing how she confronted the school official. Instead of admitting that she engaged in the election interference, the school official claimed it was a misunderstanding, which again contradicted Nyla’s words.

At the end of the video, Kay said she would remove her daughter from the school because she wasn’t comfortable there anymore.

After that, Kay released a third video, in which she answered some questions other people asked her. She said that her daughter was registered as a Democrat, noted that it is possible that the school did the same thing to other students and stated that the principal was sitting in the same room when Kay was talking with a minority inspector without saying a word.

In the video, Kay also said that she contacted Fox News and the Board of Education but has yet to receive a response from either.

Conservative Mourn Infowars on Deathbed

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Conservatives on Twitter recently expressed their sadness and outrage over the fact that Alex Jones’s company, Infowars, will be sold off to the highest bidder and liquidated.

Forbes reported that Judge Christopher Lopez ordered the auction of the news company to pay for legal damages to the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims.

Owen Shroyer, one of the political commentators on Infowars, responded to the recent news by saying how proud he is about deciding to work for the company, even though he paid the price by being targeted by the establishment. He then noted that Jones’s beliefs have become more mainstream, and the recent news is not the end of the world.

Conservatives in the comments section supported Shroyer, Jones and the entire Infowars team.

“This fight for truth, free speech and our First Amendment rights is more important now than ever. The attacks against you only prove how powerful the truth can be when it exposes the lies of the establishment. We’re proud to stand with InfoWars in this battle for our freedom and the future of our country. Stay strong—this is far from over, and we’re with you every step of the way,” the Next News Network wrote.

Jones launched a live stream one day after Shroyer’s announcement, answering the questions regarding the recent news.

“Alex Jones didn’t kill their children; the FBI let that happen,” @donaldjwl wrote.

Some people also pointed out that the recent decision was made because the establishment just wanted to silence him.

“How is liquidating his source of income going to benefit his creditors? This has nothing to do with the bankruptcy and is all about silencing him,” @JenkinsBoom wrote.

Others also highlighted how the mainstream media have constantly lied without facing the consequences.

“This is brutal injustice,” the Post Millennial’s editor-in-chief wrote.

Many people also urged Elon Musk, who bought Twitter and turned it into a free-speech platform, to buy Infowars and give it back to Jones.

However, host of Liberty Lockdown Clint Russel went as far as to dare Mark Zuckerberg to buy Infowars and prove conservatives that he is not just another Big Tech totalitarian who wants to censor those who don’t agree with the leftist status quo.

“Zuckerberg spent years censoring the truth during a pandemic. [Do you] want to call yourself a libertarian, now? To be forgiven? To show you’ve changed? Here’s your path: buy Infowars at the liquidation auction and immediately hire Alex Jones to run it,” he wrote.
