Philly’s Woke DA Blames Lack of Gun Laws for Trans-Terrorists Mass Killing

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In a recent tirade, far-left Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner blamed his state’s lack of extreme gun-restriction laws for the recent BLM trans-terrorist shooting that happened on his watch, the Huffington Post reported.

In an interview following the deadly rampage, Krasner blamed the state legislature for the violence that unfolded, ignoring his own complicity through so-called criminal justice reforms that have led to skyrocketing crime and violence.

“It is time for everybody and our legislature, including the ones who would like to walk around with an AR-15 lapel pin,” Krasner said, referring to Republicans including U.S. Reps. George Santos, R-N.Y., and Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla.

“It is time for every one of them to face the voters,” Krasner continued, noting that he finds the lack of gun restrictions in his state a disgrace.

“It is disgusting, the lack of proper gun legislation that we have in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” Krasner said.

The killer, Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was arrested on Monday night after shooting up the city’s Kingsessing neighborhood.

According to police, Carriker began the rampage in the middle of the street before chasing the last victim down and killing him in his home. He shot two children, a 2-year-old and a 13-year-old, in their legs.

After his arrest, he told police that he shot innocent adults and children in order to help police combat gun violence in America. “All these guys are out there killing people,” Carriker allegedly told the police.

Carriker was a known leftist activist who posted frequently about BLM on his Facebook page, including one post in which he expressed support for workers who protested in the Strike for Black Lives in July 2020.

Asa Khalif, a representative of the district attorney’s office, said that Carriker’s choice to sometimes wear women’s clothing and long hair, however, does not mean that he identified as a woman, and that the incident should not be held against the “trans community.”

“The language spewed out by the conservative press is violent and is dangerous and is targeting trans women of color,” Khalif said. “We have our trans women, and our trans men, living in these communities, working, thriving in the communities. They are not killers, they are the most vulnerable to violence.”

Watchdog: Record-High Visa Overstays Could Portend Next Terrorist Attack

Watchdog: Record-High Visa Overstays Could Portend Next Terrorist Attack

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Four of the 9/11 plane hijackers had been in the U.S. on expired visas, and one person linked to the Oklahoma City bombing was also in the country illegally.

With a record-high 853,955 visa overstays in 2022, is another such attack looming?

Judicial Watch thinks so. The government watchdog released a scathing response to a recent DHS report that downplays the severity of America’s broken visa system.

“A persistent crisis involving visa overstays has gripped the nation in years following the 2001 attacks … DHS tries to downplay the severity of the situation by shining a light on the positive, that the overstay rate is a mere 3.67% compared to 96.33% of over 23 million nonimmigrants that departed the country on time in accordance with the terms of their admission,” Judicial Watch said last week.

“The reality is that the latest available overstay figure is an alarming record-breaker for the U.S. and it indicates that national security is not being taken seriously by the government.”

While visa overstays are linked to the two deadliest terrorist attacks in American history—OKC and 9/11—the issue isn’t as simple as terrorists slipping through a porous immigration system.

To the contrary, the U.S. government was aware of the visa overstayers in both cases. Moreover, evidence suggests that the U.S. government allowed the visa overstayers to operate with impunity in the leadup to the attacks.

In the Oklahoma City bombing, the overstayer in question was Andreas Carl Strassmeir, a Hebrew-speaking, ex-military German who lived in a Nazi-infested religious compound during the 1990 and had dealings with Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh—as Headline USA detailed in this story.

Given his connections to various intelligence assets, researchers have suggested that Strassmeir was a government informant. Strassmeir has denied being an informant and being involved in the attack.

In any event, the ATF had been investigating both Elohim City and Strassmeir in late 1994 and early 1995. During that investigation, the ATF discovered from a confidential informant that Strassmeir was in the country illegally.

Some in the ATF wanted to raid Elohim City in early 1995, but the FBI squashed that plan—bureau spokesman Bob Ricks claimed that the U.S. government didn’t want another Waco disaster on its hands.

Months later, the OKC bombing took place, and Strassmeir left the country before the FBI interviewed him about the matter.

In 2001, the U.S. government would again be monitoring at least one visa overstayer, Nawaf al-Hazmi, in the runup to a major terrorist attack. Instead of apprehending al-Hazmi, the CIA allegedly tried to make him an informant, according to a sworn statement from Office of Military Commissions investigator Don Canestraro.

In a sworn statement published earlier this year, Canestraro said at least two FBI agents told him that the CIA had attempted to recruit two of the hijackers—al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, the latter who had a valid visa.

“According to [one FBI agent], prior to the 9/11 attacks, the CIA was under pressure to recruit informants within al-Qaeda,” said Canestraro. “Responding to this pressure, [an unidentified CIA official] and his/her colleagues at the CIA were attempting to recruit al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar via a liaison relationship with the Saudi GID.”

Along with the FBI agents, Canestraro spoke with former Deputy National Security Advisor Richard Clarke, who has spoken about the CIA-recruitment theory publicly.

Clarke reportedly told Canestraro that the reason the CIA was recruiting the hijackers was for a “false flag operation.”

“According to Mr. Clarke, this ‘false flag’ operation would have involved al-Bayoumi befriending the two hijackers by attempting to convince them that he was sympathetic to their cause,” Canestraro said in the court filing.

More recently, DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari revealed in a June 28 report that U.S. Border Patrol agents blundered last year, when they released a Colombian national on the FBI’s terrorism watch list. While that wasn’t a visa overstay issue and the Colombian was arrested about a month after his improper release, it does further illustrate the U.S. government’s unwillingness or inability to keep terrorist foreigners out of the country.

Judicial Watch didn’t go so far as to suggest that the U.S. government is purposely allowing visa overstayers to plot the next terrorist attack, but the organization did call for congressional inquiries into the matter.

“The latest figures included in the Fiscal Year 2022 Entry/Exit Overstay Report illustrate that the problem is much worse than previously reported,” Judicial Watch said. “This is very disturbing and deserves congressional scrutiny.”

‘Lancet’ Deletes Study that Exposed Startling Stats on Vax-Related Deaths

‘Lancet’ Deletes Study that Exposed Startling Stats on Vax-Related Deaths

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Lancet, a peer reviewed medical journal, recently published and then removed a study that included unsettling statistics regarding COVID vaccine related death numbers, the Daily Sceptic reported.

The now-deleted study revealed that out of 325 autopsies of people who had recently received the COVID jab, 74% of those deaths were closely tied to the COVID jab.

According to the study, the COVID vaccine can be linked to decline in the health of one’s cardiovascular system, hematological system, respiratory system and “multiple organ systems.”

Researchers also noted that “most deaths occurred within a week from last vaccine administration,” while nearly three quarters of deaths were “directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination.”

They concluded the study by noting that there is a “high likelihood” of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death in most cases.

Conducted by cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, Yale epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch and their colleagues at the Wellness Company, the study was taken down within 24 hours after its publication Wednesday.

According to Lancet, it was removed because it might spread misinformation.

“This preprint has been removed by Preprints with the Lancet because the study’s conclusions are not supported by the study methodology,” the journal noted.

Though the study must still undergo peer review, Lancet suggested that it also failed to meet “screening criteria.”

Dr. Clare Craig, a pathologist and co-Chair of the HART pandemic advisory group, said that in her opinion the methods of the study were sound.

“It is important that attempts are made to quantify the risk of harm and censorship of these attempts, rather than open scientific critique, does nothing to help reassure people,” she noted.

Dr. Harvey Risch, one of the authors, called the decision “pure Government-directed censorship, even after the Missouri v. Biden injunction.”

White House Blows Cocaine Scandal into Overdrive w/ Changing Stories, Dubious Deflections

White House Blows Cocaine Scandal into Overdrive w/ Changing Stories, Dubious Deflections

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) For the second time in as many days, the Biden White House tried to spin its way out of a growing scandal fueled by a stash of cocaine found in the West Wing, and succeeded only in creating more confusion and concern.

After a White House spokesperson on Thursday bizarrely deflected questions about the incident for fear of violating the Hatch Act, the Biden comms team attempted to backtrack on earlier claims about where the cocaine had been found.

After fabling about the dime-sized bag being discovered in an easily-accessible and heavily-trafficked location, White House officials admitted Thursday that the area was “much more secure” than previously claimed, according to NBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

The illicit stash, she said, was found “in a much more secure place, limited-access place, than that West Wing reception area.” The location was “down near the Situation Room” and “average people just can’t get in there,” Mitchell reported.

Speculation and theories have swirled that the cocaine was linked to Hunter Biden, the president’s embattled, crack-addict son who has a long and sordid history of drug abuse, as well as easy access to the White House and a shady log of visits.

While a Secret Service spokesperson told the New York Post that “We are doing everything possible to attempt to identify who may have brought this item into the White House,” multiple law enforcement officials on Thursday said it was increasingly unlikely that an offender would be found.

“They are preparing us for a result that will be no conclusive evidence found,” MSNBC reported.

“Expectations are being lowered about an eventual conclusion here that would lead to an identity and then even the potential for prosecution at a misdemeanor level for the amount of drug we’re talking about,” the outlet reported, adding to growing concerns from some lawmakers that the Biden White House is actively trying to sidetrack the investigation.

“I do know this, and I think the American people can see it, the Washington managerial elite, the Establishment if you will, is working harder than an ugly stripper to cover up whatever happened,” Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., told Fox News. “And that’s all Congress is asking for, is the facts.”

A former FBI agent said that the investigation should have already produced results, reportedly claiming the mystery should take “about 30 minutes to solve” given the purported high-level of security at the White House, according to Trending Politics’ Collin Rugg.

“There’s a manifest. There are cameras. I could go on. This literally should take them about 30 minutes to figure out whose cocaine it was,” said Mark Morgan, a former FBI agent and Trump-era acting commissioner of the Customs and Border Protection Agency.

“Whether it was a series of staffers, who apparently might be deeply involved, or one staffer or Hunter Biden himself, it doesn’t really matter,” Morgan reportedly said. “The reality is that you have a president and a White House that have a disregard for the law, they really don’t care.”

The same sense of skepticism was shared by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who cracked that the White House cocaine “crime should be even easier to solve than the case of the leaked Dobbs opinion.”

Drawing on his own experience of coming “in and out of that entrance a million times,” Lee said, “It’s one of the most heavily secured and constantly surveilled places on earth. They keep detailed records on who enters and exits and when. I find it difficult to accept that they can’t figure out who put the cocaine there.”

DeSantis Tops Trump w/ $20M Fundraising Spurt, Still Comes Up Short

DeSantis Tops Trump w/ $20M Fundraising Spurt, Still Comes Up Short

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Stalled in polls and stumbling with messy messaging, Ron DeSantis’s 2024 campaign managed to raise an eye-popping $20 million in its first six weeks since the Florida Republican governor launched his presidential bid, in what the campaign touted as “the largest first-quarter filing from any non-incumbent Republican candidate in more than a decade.”

While the haul was significant, DeSantis was still left having to explain how his fundraising efforts outpaced former President Donald Trump’s announced $35-million second-quarter war chest.

DeSantis’s campaign noted that his six-week effort was more than Trump raised in the first two quarters following his mid-November announcement. By the numbers, Trump brought in $3.8 million in the last quarter of 2022 and $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, for a take of $18.3 million.

Trump’s fundraising, and poll numbers, surged in the wake of a series of sham indictments from the Biden administration’s politically weaponized Justice Department. The former president’s fundraising committee and Save America PAC took in $35 million from April 1 to June 30, nearly doubling its coffers.

Apart from the DeSantis campaign’s $20-million effort, the pro-DeSantis Never Back Down super-PAC announced that it had raised $130 million since the committee formed in early March.

While DeSantis remains mired in second place among the GOP primary pack, trailing Trump by upwards of 30% in polling averages, the Florida governor’s campaign manager said the fundraising numbers hold a positive outlook, arguing that President Joe Biden’s “leftist policies are destroying the country, and Republicans are excited to invest in a winner ready to lead America’s revival.”

In announcing the six-week $20-million haul, DeSantis campaign manager Generra Peck said, “We are grateful for the investment so many Americans have made to get this country back on track. The fight to save it will be long and challenging, but we have built an operation to share the governor’s message and mobilize the millions of people who support it. We are ready to win.”

The DeSantis numbers, while impressive, lacked context, argued Trump campaign and MAGA supporters.

‘Sound of Freedom’ Grips Nation’s Attention w/ Powerful Message, Smashes Box Office

‘Sound of Freedom’ Grips Nation’s Attention w/ Powerful Message, Smashes Box Office

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) The independently-produced Sound of Freedom made a stunning July Fourth premier in theaters with a box office smash, delivering a powerful message about the horrific reality of child sex-trafficking that gripped the country’s collective attention and sparked a national debate.

The movie, produced by indie filmmaker Angel Studios after being scuttled by Disney, is based on the true story of former DHS special agent Tim Ballard, who focused on tracking and arresting pedophiles and child-traffickers. After growing increasingly frustrated with bureaucracy interfering with that mission, Ballard founded Operation Underground Railroad in 2013, conducting sting operations to save hundreds of children from sex trafficking. 

Passion of the Christ actor Jim Caviezel, who stars as Ballard, called the overwhelmingly positive response to the movie a testament to the message it delivered. The movie debuted as the top film at the box office on July 4, grossing $14.2 million in half as many theaters as Disney’s much-hyped, distant second-place Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, according to Box Office Mojo.

“We are not Disney’s film. We are the people’s film,” Caviezel told Fox News, and as such prompts the question “Can we love our children, can we love God’s children, more than we fear evil? That’s the challenge here, and Americans are up to it. God’s children are no longer for sale.”

Caviezel noted that Disney had originally shelved the movie and left it buried for nearly five years, until being rescued by Angel Studios.

The success of the movie isn’t just about it being produced by a faith-based, openly Christian, conservative indie producer, “It’s about the children and America waking up, right now. The only way these laws are going to be changed is if people move, right now, to save them,” Caviezel said. “This is a good versus evil story.”

Angel Studios co-founder Jeffrey Harmon credited a large part of the movie’s success to the passionate work of its cast and crew to push the movie’s message into the public, and the advocacy of its supporters.

“A couple of weeks ago one of my co-workers did a 100+ hr work week,” Harmon tweeted on the movie’s July 4 opening.

“I called and asked him how he was holding up. He said, “I know this isn’t good for my longterm health, but I just keep thinking if I can move the needle a little more, maybe I can save another child.”

The Real Reason Behind Rep. MTG’s Explosive Ousting from Freedom Caucus

The Real Reason Behind Rep. MTG’s Explosive Ousting from Freedom Caucus

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The House Freedom Caucus shocked conservatives with the abrupt announcement of the removal of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., from its leadership.

Speaking to Politico, Freedom Caucus board member Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., revealed that Greene’s derogatory remarks against Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., were “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” Harris also cited Green’s staunch support for Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as another reason for the ousting. 

Harris stated, “A vote was taken to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Freedom Caucus for some of the things she’s done.”

Last month, Greene engaged in a highly publicized feud with Boebert over a dispute on competing impeachment resolutions against President Joe Biden. During a House floor debate, Greene reportedly told Boebert, “I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little bitch to me, and you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”

Notably, Greene has been a staunch ally of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, even supporting the Biden-led Fiscal Responsibility Act, which raised the debt ceiling to President Biden’s preferences.

While Greene did not directly address the reported ousting, she stated that she represents the interests of her voters. “In Congress, I serve Northwest Georgia first, and serve no group in Washington,” she said in a statement obtained by Politico.

She further added, “The GOP has less than two years to show America what a strong, unified Republican-led Congress will do when President Trump wins the White House in 2024. This is my focus, nothing else.”

When contacted by the Daily Caller for comment, the Freedom Caucus declined, citing internal policy regarding the non-disclosure of internal processes. The caucus, which currently has 36 Republican members, is well-known for its influential role in shaping conservative policy within the House of Representatives.

Politico reported that Greene will be barred from attending future caucus meetings.

Watch: GOP Leaders Rip Biden’s Changing Denials and Dodges on Hunter’s Dealings

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Lawmakers have sharply criticized President Joe Biden for his stunning reversal of his previous denials of discussing his son’s business dealings. Biden, who in 2019 said he had never spoken to Hunter about foreign business dealings, now claimed that he had never “been” in business with his son.

In separate interviews on Fox News on Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman John Smith, R-Mo., expressed their outrage at what they consider a blatant flip-flop by the president.

Kennedy strongly criticized the Biden administration’s dismissal of the serious allegations, stating, “The White House’s story is that the president knew nothing about any of this, and I mean, it just doesn’t pass the smell test.” He further questioned the credibility of Biden’s claims of ignorance regarding Hunter’s foreign businesses.

Kennedy presented a hypothetical scenario to highlight his point.

“Suppose you are an important government official and very powerful, and your grown kid comes home one day and says, ‘Dad, good news! A bunch of Russian companies; and Chinese companies; and Romanian companies, and Ukrainian companies have just hired me. They’re giving me millions of dollars to give them advice about stuff I don’t know anything about,'” Kennedy said in reference to Biden’s dismissal of Hunter’s dealings.

“What are you going to do as a responsible government official? You are not going to say, ‘Don’t tell me anything about it, but be sure and share some with your sister.’ You are going to try to find out what’s going on,” Kennedy added.

Chairman Smith echoed Kennedy’s concerns and raised questions about Biden’s previous claims of ignorance.

He referred to the released whistleblower’s testimony, which included a WhatsApp message implicating Biden in his son’s dealings with a Chinese business official. “‘I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” the text message read, directly contradicting Biden’s 2019 claims.

Smith remarked, “That’s pretty telling, and now the White House is saying that they’re not involved in his son’s business dealings, not that he didn’t know about it but not that they are involved. Let me tell you, it all smells too bad.”

Smith emphasized the ongoing investigations by the Republican-led Ways and Means, Judiciary and the Oversight committees, stating, “We are following the facts to see where they lead us. That’s why we’ve requested almost a dozen additional individuals to come in for testimony to get down to the facts.”

Joe Rogan Admits 2020 Election Was ‘Rigged’ By Media

(Headline USA) Podcast host Joe Rogan said this week that he believes the 2020 presidential election was “rigged” by the corporate media, which heavily favored President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump.

During a July 4 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the popular UFC commentator discussed the election with comedian Tom Segura. They referred to controversial remarks recently made by Roseanne Barr on Theo Von’s recent This Past Weekend podcast that caused it to get taken down from YouTube.

Barr had questioned how Biden won fairly with “the most votes of any presidential candidate in history,” while also winning a record-low number of counties.

Rogan said he is not convinced that voting machines and absentee ballots were rigged in Biden’s favor, but he did admit that some level of fraud is a certainty in every election.

“I don’t know if there was some shenanigans with the election. I guarantee you it wasn’t zero percent,” said Rogan. “How much voter fraud was there? It’s never zero.”

Rogan also cited a recent security assessment of Georgia’s Dominion voting machines, which found “dangerous vulnerabilities” with the machines’ software.

Still, Rogan argued that it is less likely the election was steered one way or the other by rogue actors, and more likely that it was “for sure rigged by the media.”

“Just the Hunter Biden laptop case and the Russia collusion case — just those two things, just those two narratives that they knew were not true, that they pushed out in front of everybody and that we know … had to do with trying to get rid of Trump,” he explained.

The media intentionally manipulated the “public narrative” to steer voters away from Trump, Rogan continued.

“That is, in many ways … that’s manipulation. It’s manipulation of what the people think is real and not real,” said Rogan. “Everybody thought he was in collusion with Russia. It’s what everybody thought.”

Illegal Alien on Terror Watch List Was Released into the U.S.

Illegal Alien on Terror Watch List Was Released into the U.S.

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) An illegal immigrant who was on the terrorist watchlist was released into the U.S. by the Department of Homeland Security, in large part because of an overwhelming backlog of immigrants combined with multiple errors by officials.

Customs and Border Protection made multiple mistakes when they apprehended the illegal in the Yuma, Ariz., sector of the U.S. southern border in April 2022, according to the Daily Wire.

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended and subsequently released a migrant without providing information requested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Terrorist Screening Center [TSC] that would have confirmed the migrant was a positive match with the Terrorist Screening Data Set [Terrorist Watchlist],” the report stated.

“This occurred because CBP’s ineffective practices and processes for resolving inconclusive matches with the Terrorist Watchlist led to multiple mistakes.”

On Apr. 17, 2022, the Border Patrol apprehended a migrant and family members. The report used “their” and “them” pronouns to conceal the illegal’s biological sex, the agency said.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement moved to apprehend the individual after the release, when the criminal’s presence on the watchlist was discovered on Apr. 21, 2022. The ICE office in Tampa, Fla., stated that “the migrant could pose a national security risk.”

However, the illegal wasn’t arrested until May 6 because of bureaucracy and miscommunication, which prompted the DHS inspector general to recommend that Border Patrol implement a better system to identify individuals on the terrorist watchlist and for better information-sharing practices for ICE.

The agents in the Yuma sector said that one of the reasons why the illegal was originally released was that agents were busy processing “an increased flow of migrants.”

“CPC agents explained that the Yuma CPC was over capacity following an increase in apprehensions, which created pressure to quickly process migrants and decreased the time available to review each file,” the report stated.

DHS listened to the report’s recommendations and stated that it would clean up its system.
