Ilhan Omar’s Daughter Received ‘Reparations’ from Friends on Juneteenth

(Headline USA) Isra Hirsi, daughter of “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has received “reparations” payments from her white friends on Juneteenth for the past several years—despite having no ancestors who experienced slavery or racial discrimination in the United States, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

Hirsi, whose parents are Somali immigrants, is a far-left, anti-Israel activist and Barnard College student. 

Public transaction records on Venmo show she has received at least a dozen payments on Juneteenth with notes that read “reparations” or “Happy Juneteenth.” The app does not say how much she was paid.

Most of the payments to Hirsi were sent in 2020 as the Black Lives Matter riots took over cities across America. That Juneteenth, she received nine payments labeled “reparations,” and sent two of her own to black friends.

She also publicly encouraged her social media followers that year to “donate to descendants of enslaved people today!”

Somalian clans, historically, were known for having promulgated the slave trade by capturing rival clans, including the Bantu tribes, and enslaving them or selling them to Arab and European traders.

Even in modern times, forms of slavery exist in Somalia, such as the child soldiers notoriously conscripted into its military forces.

Nonetheless, Hirsi, who is Muslim, has framed herself as a victim of white supremacy and “Zionism” because she supports the pro-Palestine movement led by the terrorist group Hamas.

Earlier this year, she was arrested and suspended from Barnard College for participating in the vandalism and takeover of one of the school’s buildings. Hirsi complained afterwards that her suspension had left her homeless.

“I don’t know when I can go home, and I don’t know if I ever will be able to,” she told Teen Vogue.

“I haven’t formally been evicted,” she continued. “I haven’t been sent a ‘move out’ email, but they’ve just said that I can’t get in, whatever that means. I have like four shirts, two pairs of pants.”

Omar, Hirsi’s mother, also began advocating for reparations for black Americans at the national level in 2020.

“Proud #Juneteenth is now a federal holiday,” Omar wrote on X at the time. “As we reflect on the significance of what this day symbolizes, let’s keep fighting to address the lasting consequences of slavery. Next step: reparations.”

Trump’s Lawyers Cite Biden’s Call to ‘Lock Him Up’ In Filing to Dismiss J6 Case

Trump’s Lawyers Cite Biden’s Call to ‘Lock Him Up’ In Filing to Dismiss J6 Case

(Headline USA) Former President Donald Trump’s legal team cited President Joe Biden’s call this week for Trump to be locked up as evidence that one of the federal cases against him needs to be tossed, the New York Post reported.

Trump’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case, arguing the charges were politically motivated and that Smith was unlawfully appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Garland tapped Smith to prosecute Trump at Biden’s request in an effort to “target” the Republican, who was one of Biden’s top political rivals when the charges were filed.

“In November 2022, the Attorney General violated the Appointments Clause by naming private-citizen Smith to target President Trump, while President Trump was campaigning to take back the Oval Office from the Attorney General’s boss, without a statutory basis for doing so,” the filing said. 

“Garland did so following improper public urging from President Biden to target President Trump, as reported at the time in 2022, and repeated recently by President Biden through his inappropriate instruction to ‘lock him up’ while Smith presses forward with the case unlawfully as the Presidential election rapidly approaches,” it added.

On Tuesday, Biden appeared to vocally back the multiple lawfare campaigns against Trump, who is now leading in most of the battleground states.

“We gotta lock him up,” the 81-year-old said, before catching himself and trying to walk back the remark. “Politically lock him up,” Biden added. “Lock him out, that’s what we’ve got to do.”

Another case brought by Smith against Trump has already been thrown out by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who agreed Garland’s appointment of Smith as special counsel had been “unlawful.”

“Everything that Smith did since Attorney General Garland’s appointment, as President Trump continued his leading campaign against President Biden and then Vice President Harris, was unlawful and unconstitutional,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in their new filing.

Only 20% of Young Americans Expect ‘Peaceful Transfer of Power’

Only 20% of Young Americans Expect ‘Peaceful Transfer of Power’

(Matt Lamb, Headline USA) An overwhelming majority of young Americans are skeptical of a “peaceful transfer of power” following the Nov. 5 presidential election.

The mainstream media and Democratic Party leaders would have the average citizen believe Donald Trump and his supporters are just itching for violence. However, the polls suggest young Americans are also concerned about violence from the political Left if Trump wins.

Only 10% of respondents said they expect a peaceful transfer of power if Trump wins, which means 90% “don’t know” or were skeptical, according to the Harvard Institute of Politics poll.

Just 14% “expect peace only with a Harris victory.” Meanwhile, only 20% expect peace regardless of who wins.

The poll asked 2,001 Americans ages 18-29 a variety of questions about their plans to vote and their views on different candidates, according to the Harvard Youth Poll website.

The news comes as a Department of Defense memo has begun circulating that suggests scenarios in which violence could be used against American citizens.

The “lethal force” directive could be implemented only with approval of President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

“Assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury,” the document stated.

“It also includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated,” it added.

Biden and his allies have spent years vilifying conservatives and Republicans. They also have begun preparing to object to the certification of the 2024 election if Trump wins.

“[Trump] is doing whatever he can to try to interfere with the process, whether we’re talking about manipulating electoral college counts in Nebraska or manipulating the vote count in Georgia or imposing other kinds of impediments,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md. recently told Axios.

Raskin previously objected to certifying Trump’s election in 2017.

Cybersecurity Officials Cancel Election Day ‘Exercise’ after Public Backlash

Cybersecurity Officials Cancel Election Day ‘Exercise’ after Public Backlash

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Homeland Security officials were planning to convene in Atlanta for a cybersecurity “tabletop exercise” on Election Day. But after public backlash, the event was cancelled.

“A rapid and unanticipated rise in rhetoric and threats stemming from disinformation about the purpose of the event and its proximity to Election Day contributed to the decision to postpone,” the AFCEA Homeland Security Conference said on its website.

“Out of an abundance of caution and because a number of government agencies are unable to participate, we made this difficult decision so that we can deliver a high-quality and meaningful event.”

Skeptics had been questioning why the AFCEA Homeland Security Conference was holding its event in Atlanta—where Donald Trump alleged that election fraud took place in 2020—on Election Day, no less.

“What remote sites will the exercise access? What federal, state and local agencies will participate? Whose idea was it to have a cybersecurity threat exercise on Election Day in a key battleground state? Who is controlling the cybersecurity threat exercise?” VoterGA cofounder Garland Favorito asked earlier this week on Twitter/X.

“Why would key individuals be here instead of monitoring real threats on the very day when we are at the highest risk of attack?”

While the table-top exercise was cancelled, Georgia is still set to  use Dominion Voting Systems in the upcoming 2024 election, despite a forensic report showing cybersecurity flaws in Dominion’s voting machines. Georgia election officials have said that the machines won’t be updated until after the 2024 elections because it’s such a massive undertaking.

Georgia’s voting machines already came under attack before voting even began. In April tech publication CyberScoop revealed that a cyberattack forced local government officials to sever their connection with the state’s voter registration system in none other than Coffee County.

Part of Fulton County DA Fani Willis’s election integrity case stems from Coffee County, due to a team led by Trump lawyer Sidney Powell allegedly accessing election equipment there in January 2021 in an attempt to prove fraud.

CNN Host Attacks Kevin O’Leary for Being from Canada (Where Kamala Grew Up)

CNN Host Attacks Kevin O’Leary for Being from Canada (Where Kamala Grew Up)

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) CNN host Abby Phillip became frustrated Thursday during a debate about Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, so she hit Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary with a low blow about his citizenship in Canada—a country where Harris lived for five years.

CNN panelists shouted at O’Leary on News Night with Abby Phillip in an exchange about how Harris never won a Democratic primary. The exchange escalated from a discussion about Harris’s coronation as President Joe Biden’s replacement following his July 21 withdraw to a CNN pile-on attacking O’Leary’s U.S. citizenship status.

O’Leary pointed out that Democrats behind-the-scenes—whether under the direction of former President Barack Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or a yet undisclosed  puppetmaster—opted not to conduct a primary election to choose their party’s new 2024 candidate.

“This is the second time the Democratic Party has circumvented democracy and chose—” O’Leary began, alluding to the revelations by Wikileaks that the Democratic National Committee had actively intervented to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., from waging a serious challenge to former first lady Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Several CNN panelists interjected with various utterances of “that’s not true” and “no” before Phillip took the reins.

“Kevin, Hillary Clinton won a primary,” Phillip said after the Shark Tank star compared Harris’s prospective loss to the failed 2016 Democrat presidential nominee.

O’Leary said no one could compete with Clinton, which the CNN host rebutted.

“Do you think that’s really what matters to voters?” CNN economic commentator Catherine Rampell shouted from her seat next to O’Leary.

“I know that you are from Canada,” Phillip said, which elicited a hardy laugh from Rampell.

Phillip and her panelists appeared not to realize that Harris has her own roots in Canada.

Although Harris was born in Oakland, California, she spent the bulk of her teenage years in Montreal, from ages 12 to 17. The Washington Post reported that Harris’s time in Canada, promoted by her scientist mother’s sudden job change, shaped her life.

“The primary process in this country. …  It’s not in the Constitution,” Phillips observed. The political parties can choose however they want to choose their political nominee.”

O’Leary repeatedly tried to get a word in before he told CNN panelists he was interested in a strong U.S. president because his children were born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, and that all his investments were in the U.S.

SCOOP: FBI Records Link 2019 Church Arsons to Satanic Accelerationist Cult ‘O9A’

SCOOP: FBI Records Link 2019 Church Arsons to Satanic Accelerationist Cult ‘O9A’

Update: Shortly after the publication of this article, O9A leader Brett Stephens provided the following statement in response to the newly released FBI file: “The O9A is a distributed entity and individual nexions make choices such as this, but we can say that we were inspired by the events in Norway during the 1990s where churches were burned in order to reject Abrahamic means-over-ends morality.”

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) In 2019, three African American Baptist churches were set ablaze in an act of arson.

When the alleged perpetrator, Holden Matthews, was caught and sentenced to 25 years imprisonment in November 2020, officials blamed his crime on the fact that he was a “black metal” musician—saying he set fire to the churches in late March and early April 2019 to promote himself in the heavy metal sub-genre.

But on Thursday, the FBI released a batch of records suggesting that a Satanic cult may also have been involved in the church burnings. The FBI records linked the church burnings to a Satanic cult that calls itself the Order of Nine Angles, or O9A—a group that seeks to accelerate the collapse of the West by, among other things, encouraging people online to commit acts of terrorism.

O9A has been in the news in recent years due to its links to right-wing extremism. O9A fomented several neo-Nazi terrorist plots over the last several years, an O9A-linked neo-Nazi participated in the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally, and one of the network’s leaders, Joshua Caleb Sutter, was revealed to be a longtime FBI informant.

Now, O9A is also linked to the 2019 black church arsons. An April 11, 2019, FBI report about the three churches—St. Mary Baptist Church, Greater Union Baptist Church and Mount Pleasant Baptist Church—as victims, seemingly in relation to a probe into O9A activities.

According to that FBI report, the FBI’s Dallas office had been probing O9A. When the church arsons happened in Louisiana, the bureau’s New Orleans office called Dallas to learn about the Satanic cult.

Much of the report is redacted, so the outcome of the meeting between the FBI’s Dallas and New Orleans offices is unclear.

The report does reiterate that “O9A is a satanic cult that encourages violence, terrorism, sexual abuse, and child pornography. O9A follows strong anti-Judaic, anti-Christian, and anti-Western ideologies and aims to incite chaos and violence in western civilization.”

Headline USA was unable to find any other information linking O9A to the 2019 church burnings. A transcript of the sentencing hearing for the arsonist, Matthews, does reveal that he had been bragging about his crimes to Satanists.

“You’re also aware he was communicating with pagans and Satanists and Luciferians? … And he was excited about the fact that he could tell pagans, Satanists, and Luciferians about the fact that he was destroying buildings? He was not just destroying buildings. He was destroying these religious communities?” a prosecutor asked Matthews’s clinical psychologist, Dr. Mary Lou Kelly, during his sentencing hearing.

In response to those questions, Kelly said that Matthews had taken on the persona of a Satanic character.

“I feel like he was acting in that role, which included church burnings,” she said.

O9A didn’t respond to an email inquiry about the FBI records or the allegations that it’s linked to the 2019 church burnings.

O9A International

Along with the 2019 FBI report on O9A, the bureau also released a 2021 “foreign dissemination legal statement”—indicating that the investigation into O9A went international.

Like the 2019 report, much of the FBI’s 2021 statement is redacted. Interestingly, some of the redactions were made pursuant to section b7(d) of FOIA—which is used to protect the identity of FBI informants.

The 2021 FBI report does deem O9A as an “international satanic organization with ties to [right-wing extremist] ideology.”

“Investigative information indicates ONA has demonstrated ties with the US [REDACTED] of [right-wing extremist] organizations [REDACTED] known for promulgating violent rhetoric directed at minorities.”

An international investigation into O9A would make sense, as the group has been linked to terroristic activity in the UK, Eastern Europe, Canada and elsewhere.

More recently, O9A has seen an offshoot group called “764” take its place in the media spotlight.

The DOJ is currently prosecuting several O9A- and 764-related cases.

The government’s crackdown on the Satanic pedophile groups started in November 2021, when the FBI arrested 764 member Angel Almeida. Details of Almeida’s 764 activities weren’t made public until records about his case were unsealed late last year.

More recently, the Justice Department filed charges in December against another 764 member, Kalana Limkin, for allegedly promoting child pornography, sexual extortion, and trafficking, animal cruelty and self-harm of minors.

Additionally, U.S. Marshals arrested 764 member Kyle Spitze in February on child porn charges. Spitze’s disturbing story can be read here.

Also in February, Canadian police announced the arrest of a 14-year-old male who was affiliated with 764.

CNN Diva Takes Catty Swipe at MSNBC’s ‘Overpaid, Blowdried Anchors’

CNN Diva Takes Catty Swipe at MSNBC’s ‘Overpaid, Blowdried Anchors’

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) CNN’s Anderson Cooper took a swipe at rival news network MSNBC’s “overpaid, blowdried anchors” Thursday on his evening show.

Cooper held a CNN town hall with Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Wednesday, during which he pressed the vice president on why she has not implemented her campaign promises in the current Biden-Harris administration.

The CNN host revealed on Anderson Cooper 360 that he has since received online criticism from Harris supporters for challenging the Democrat candidate on topics, including illegal immigration and the economy. Cooper told the disgruntled Democrats that they must have misunderstood what his job as a news anchor entailed.

“I’m not on MSNBC, and no disrespect. What they do is—they’re very talented,” Cooper said.

“But I don’t watch it,” he added. “I’m not into interested in watching what these overpaid, blowdried anchors think.”

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God, who sat beside Cooper as a guest on his show, commented that the CNN host did a good job questioning Harris.

Cooper backtracked in a moment of self-awareness, acknowledging that he falls into the same category of a “overpaid” anchor—but noted that he does not blow-dry.

The CNN host assured his audience that he sees himself as above the fray, interested in facts rather than opinions.

“I’m not interested in the anchors of media. I’m interested in facts and letting the viewers make up their own minds,” he said.

With Harris’s campaign appearing to unravel in the final stretch, other CNN pundits were equally brutal about her performance, perhaps wary of hitching their own brand to what could prove to be the worse-performing Democratic candidate since Walter Mondale in 1984.

Former Obama advisor David Axelrod slammed the Democrat nominee for giving nothing but “word salad city.”

After his program with Harris on Wednesday, Cooper himself noted that the vice president spent too much time focusing on Trump rather than her vision for the country.

Braveheart vs. Batman?: Oscar-Winning Actor Rips Kamala for Having ‘IQ of a Fence Post’

Braveheart vs. Batman?: Oscar-Winning Actor Rips Kamala for Having ‘IQ of a Fence Post’

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Oscar-winning actor Mel Gibson ripped Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Thursday at the Los Angeles International Airport, saying she has the “IQ of a fence post.”

Photographers pressed the Braveheart star on his political views as he was walking, and he remained steadfast in his support for Republican nominee Donald Trump, according to TMZ.

“Oh man, that’s a big question. I don’t think it’s gonna surprise anyone who I’m voting for,” Gibson light-heartedly told those filming him when asked for his thoughts.

“Well… so… I mean, I, I’m gonna just. I’m gonna guess, I’m gonna guess, uh… Trump?” the voice behind the camera said as Gibson walked down some stairs. “Is that a bad guess?”

Several of Gibson’s highly successful films, including 2004’s The Passion of the Christ, which he directed, and 2023’s Sound of Freedom, which he produced, have appealed strongly to conservative themes and values.

Gibson is currently filming a Passion of the Christ sequel, due out next year, that deals with the events following Jesus’s crucifiction and pertaining to his ressurection, in accordance with the Christian faith.

While he has, at times, been guarded about broaching controversial topics since a 2006 drunken driving incident led him to become an early victim of Hollywood cancel culture, he also has not shied away from making his views known when the occasion demands it.

Gibson told the photographer he made “a pretty good guess,” but the exchange did not end there.

“I know what it will be like if we let her in,” he said, when questioned about what a second term under Trump would entail.

The camera operator challenged Gibson by saying, “Oh really?”  before the celebrity cited Harris’s record as vice president, lack of policy proposals and the open border as reasons for his opposition.

“She’s got the IQ of a fence post,” Gibson remarked.

Gibson is not the only iconic 1990s action hero and Oscar-winning leading man to have weighed in politically in the final stretch of the contentious 2024 race.

His rebuke of Harris comes three days after Batman actor Michael Keaton attempted to shame male voters out of supporting former President Donald Trump.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Keaton tried to claim Trump and billionaire Trump supporter Elon Musk do not have their best interest in mind.

The two “aren’t your bros,” Keaton said, urging men not to attend Trump rallies.

“They don’t really respect you,” Keaton said. “They laugh at you behind your back. They think you’re stupid.”

Keaton spent Monday in his home state of Pennsylvania campaigning for Harris.

“When Batman tells you to get out the vote, you get out the vote,” the Kamala for PA account on X wrote with video of the Democrat celebrity.

Alleged 2nd Trump Assassin Opposes DOJ’s Effort to Keep All Evidence Secret

Alleged 2nd Trump Assassin Opposes DOJ’s Effort to Keep All Evidence Secret

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump last month at his Florida golf course is fighting against the Justice Department’s efforts to keep all of the evidence in his case secret.

Last week, federal prosecutors filed a motion that would prohibit Ryan Routh, 58, from possessing discovery materials outside the presence of his defense team. Prosecutors said the protections are necessary to “prevent the improper dissemination of the discovery materials to influence the public’s perception of the matter or unduly interfere with the proper administration of justice.”

But on Thursday, Routh’s attorney, Kristy Militello, objected to the DOJ’s proposed protective order. Militello argued that the DOJ’s proposal would both infringe on her client’s First Amendment rights and hamper his ability to defend himself.

“The government’s proposed protective order is an all-encompassing prohibition on Mr. Routh from possessing any and all discovery materials outside the presence of counsel,” she said.

“If Mr. Routh cannot review discovery outside the presence of counsel, then it will be impossible for him and counsel to prepare a defense in a timely manner,” she said, noting that she works in Ft. Pierce, which is about 134 miles from where Routh’s incarcerated in Miami.

“Given the anticipated amount of discovery, it would be logistically impossible for counsel to take consistent trips to Miami just to show and review any aspect of the discovery with Mr. Routh. He requests time to read the anticipated reports and other information, the same time given to any federal criminal defendant, in order to understand his own case and assist in the defense,” she said.

Militello also addressed the DOJ’s concerns that Routh will leak discovery material to the media. She said she’d agree to a protective order that prevents Routh from possessing evidence that identifies law enforcement, witnesses and other highly sensitive information—but a protective order that bars him from possessing any discovery is unreasonable.

“While undersigned counsel still has not yet been received the discovery materials, the government has advised that it involves at least 5.5 terabytes of electronic discovery—a massive amount of information. And the discovery likely includes all of Mr. Routh’s digital property,” she noted.

“So, for example, were he to publish a photo of his family or a personal trip he took abroad, that would likely be ‘publishing’ part of discovery,” she said. “So too if he were to publish any political thoughts or opinions he has previously written, including in one of his books. None of this dissemination would necessarily be improper or adversely impact the fair administration of justice.”

The defense attorney further blasted the DOJ for seeking what’s tantamount to a gag order on her client, especially when the government has been publicizing its own information about the case.

“Indeed, the same prosecutor who filed the motion for a protective order here wrote about discovery and published photographs and a letter in support of pre-trial detention, making that information available to the general public and thereby undermining that purported concern here,” she said.

Even behind bars, Routh has sought out news agencies. Prosecutors said Routh told his daughter during a phone call from jail that he wanted the addresses for news organizations. He also said that the Bureau of Prisons denied NBC’s request to conduct an interview.

Prosecutors accused Routh, 58, of Hawaii, of stalking Trump for a month before he built a sniper’s nest near the Trump International golf course in West Palm Beach.

Federal prosecutors charged Routh with possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number and attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.

Routh has pleaded not guilty.

White House Says Biden Believes Trump is a Fascist

White House Says Biden Believes Trump is a Fascist

(Headline USA) President Joe Biden believes former President Donald Trump is a “fascist,” according to White House press secretary Karine Jean–Pierre.

Jean–Pierre was asked during a press briefing on Wednesday about a viral New York Times story that accused Trump of making private comments admiring Adolf Hitler. 

Asked whether Biden would agree with Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly that Trump’s comments make him an aspiring fascist, Jean–Pierre responded, “I mean, yes.”

Jean–Pierre then proceeded to resurrect warmed-over leftist talking points that factored heavily into the campaign strategy when Biden was still the candidate—prior to the two assassination attempts on Trump, which drove calls for politicians to lower the rhetorical temperature.

“The former president has said he’s going to be a dictator on Day 1,” she claimed, taking out of context a remark Trump made about using the presidential power of executive orders to undo Biden’s disasterous economic, immigration and energy policies.

“We cannot ignore that. We cannot,” she continued. “And we cannot ignore or forget what happened on Jan. 6, 2021.”

Kelly, who was fired by Trump, told the Times that Trump was at least “in the far-right area,” and that he was “certainly an authoritarian” who “admires people who are dictators.”

Vice President Kamala Harris also ran with Kelly’s comments this week, likewise denouncing Trump as a “fascist.”

“I believe Donald Trump is a danger to the well-being and security of the United States of America,” she said during a town hall on Tuesday, adding that Americans deserved a president who maintains “certain standards,” which include “certainly not comparing oneself, in a clearly admiring way, to Hitler.”

The Trump campaign dismissed Kelly’s comments as “debunked stories he has fabricated because he failed to serve his President well while working as Chief of Staff and currently suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

For his part, Trump has argued Harris is the true wannabe authoritarian, warning that her election would mean the end of the country.

“Comrade Kamala sees that she is losing, and losing badly, especially after stealing the Race from Crooked Joe Biden,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“So now she is increasingly raising her rhetoric, going so far as to call me Adolf Hitler, and anything else that comes to her warped mind,” he continued. “She is a Threat to Democracy, and not fit to be President of the United States — And her Polling so indicates!”
