Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users

Homeland security field agents are scouring the social media site Reddit, monitoring the communications of law-abiding Americans critical of the agency.

The spying is revealed in a January intelligence bulletin produced by the Border Patrol and leaked to me. The subject of the report is Reddit user “Budget-Chicken-2425,” who is not a narco-trafficker, gang member, or terrorist. Just someone concerned about federal overreach.

The report centers on Budget-Chicken’s call for a protest near a Border Patrol facility in Edinburg, Texas. Though the report acknowledges that anti-ICE protests throughout Texas have been “generally lawful” and that there’s no evidence of any threat posed by Budget-Chicken’s call, any protest whatsoever near the border patrol facility is said to “warrant continued monitoring.”

To quote directly from the intelligence bulletin:

“At this time, there is no specific reporting of planned violence targeting DHS personnel or facilities linked to this protest call; however, any demonstration in proximity to USBP [United States Border Patrol] RGV [Rio Grande Valley] facilities may present operational, safety, and reputational risks that warrant continued monitoring.”

Budget-Chicken’s offending Reddit post was on the r/RioGrandeValley channel. Titled “Join me in protest against ICE,” the post is just a few sentences long, calling on “neighbors, family and community” to “be witnesses and to spread awareness” by protesting a Border Patrol station.

Democratic firebrand Jasmine Crockett embarrassingly deletes multiple errors on her campaign website

Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was caught with multiple errors on her campaign site before her team scrambled to correct them. 

The 44-year-old Democratic firebrand, who launched her Senate campaign two months ago, shared her stance on critical social issues in the state – but the content didn’t appear to be proofread before it was published. 

On the site, under the slogan ‘Crockett Texas Tough’, a bulleted list displayed the liberal’s ‘priorities’. 

In the initial mention of insurance companies helping citizens with mental health issues, Crockett’s team seemingly forgot to delete ‘write out your bullet point here’,  the placeholder statement that appears when building a website. 

Before edits were made, senior CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere spotted the error. 

‘Requiring all major insurance providers to include full mental healthcare coverage, including prescription medications and therapiesWrite out your bullet points here. Anything from a sentence to a paragraph works,’ the line originally read. 

The bullet point has since been shortened to: ‘Requiring all major insurance providers to include full mental healthcare coverage, including prescription medications and therapies.’ 

Online users also uncovered that her campaign added a bullet point praising her work on gun control in the Social Security section of her website. That error has since been amended.

Now A.I. could decide whether criminals get jail terms… or go free

Artificial intelligence should be used to help gauge the risk of letting criminals go free or dodge prison, a government adviser has said.

Martyn Evans, chairman of the Sentencing and Penal Policy Commission, said AI would have a ‘role’ in the criminal justice system and could be used by judges making decisions about whether to jail offenders.

AI programmes could look at whether someone is safe to be released early into the community or avoid a jail term in favour of community service – despite concern over its accuracy and tendency to ‘hallucinate’ or make up wrong information.

The commission – set up by Justice Secretary Angela Constance – has proposed effectively phasing out prison sentences of up to two years and slashing the prison population by nearly half over the next decade.

Speaking to the Mail, Mr Evans, former chairman of the Scottish Police Authority (SPA), said he was ‘absolutely convinced’ that AI ‘will have a role’ in risk assessment and other areas.

He said: ‘The thing is not to put all your eggs in an AI report – AI aids human insight.

‘So for criminal justice social workers having to do thousands and thousands of reports, police, procurators, it will help if you have a structured system to pull data from various sources and draft.

‘But the key for me is that AI is an aid to human reporting.

‘It will reduce the time it takes, increase some of the information available, but we know AI has faults and it can make things up.

Raskin: Voter ID Law Violates The 19th Amendment In Denying The Vote To Women

With polling showing over 80 percent of Americans in favor of voter ID laws, it is hard to come up with reasons why you need an ID to board a plane but not vote in a federal election. That was particularly glaring this week when Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) required people to show an ID to attend his campaign events after opposing an ID requirement to vote. So if you want to hear Ossoff speak against voter ID, you will have to show your ID. Now Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has a rather bizarre argument: the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, if passed, would likely violate the 19th Amendment to the Constitution.

CNN Host Kasie Hunt told Raskin that “Voter ID is supported by the majority of Americans. But there are Democrats on the Hill and you voted against this? Why not support voter ID?”

Raskin then had this curious response:

“… what’s wrong with the Save act? What’s wrong with it is that it might violate the 19th Amendment, which gives women the right to vote, because you’ve got to show that all of your different IDs match.

So if you’re a woman who’s gotten married and you’ve changed your name to your husband’s name, but you’re so now your current name is different from your name at birth.

Now you’ve got to go ahead and document that you need an affidavit explaining why. And why would we go to all of these, troubles in order to keep people from voting when none of the states that are actually running the elections are telling us that there’s any problem.”

In fact, under various voter ID laws, states can create systems to address issues such as different maiden names or name changes following a divorce, including requiring a standard attestation provided by the state.

Nothing in the SAVE Act requires birth certificates be brought to polling places. 

It allows for the use of a signed attestation supplied by the state.

As for identification, various forms are allowed:

The legislation would require documentation that shows an individual was born in the U.S., including either:

  • An ID that complies with the REAL ID Act and indicates the holder is a citizen;
  • A passport;
  • A military ID card and military record of service that shows a person was born in the U.S.;
  • A government-issued photo ID that shows the person’s place of birth was in the U.S.;
  • Other forms of government-issued photo ID, if they’re accompanied by a birth certificate, comparable document or naturalization certificate.

Now, on the 19th Amendment, Raskin’s argument is simply ridiculous. Indeed, if this were credible, why has it not been used successfully against prior state voting ID laws? Rather than making this claim on CNN, it would be interesting for Raskin to try it in court once the SAVE Act passes.

Minneapolis anti-ICE protesters lose the plot as they throw sex toys at their own people in bizarre attack

Minneapolis anti-ICE rioters pelted dildos at a fellow protester in a mind-boggling attack days after Donald Trump pulled hundreds of feds from the liberal city. 

A mob of rambunctious demonstrators gathered in front of the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building on Saturday – a month after Renee Good was shot during a confrontation with federal agents. 

The group was chanting against ICE while chucking glass bottles and sex toys at a line of guards protecting the property.

But the protesters’ anger was misdirected at one point, with their vile tactics being used against one of their own. 

A cluster of disrupters was filmed as they hurled fake penises at a man driving a dark blue pick-up truck near the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building on Saturday. 

Amid the chaos, the driver screamed at the relentless phallic-flingers: ‘Do you see my f*cking sign?’

He was referring to a large banner in the vehicle’s bed that read ‘NUREMBERG 2.0.’ The term is a likely reference to the Nuremberg Trials after World War II. 

From 1945 to 1949, the Allied powers prosecuted German Nazi officials for war crimes, crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.

CBS Whistleblower Drops Bomb: Network Sat on Hunter Biden Laptop to Protect Democrats

CBS investigative journalist Catherine Herridge said her reporting team conducted extensive forensic verification of Hunter Biden laptop data before the network aired a story on the material following the 2022 midterm elections, despite the information being ready earlier.

Herridge described the internal process, editorial decisions, and resistance she encountered while attempting to pursue additional reporting related to the laptop, including material she said raised serious questions that CBS declined to cover.

Herridge explained that the decision to delay the story until after the midterms was made even though the reporting and verification were complete.

“We eventually broadcast a story about the Hunter Biden laptop after the midterm elections in 2022 we commissioned a forensic review,” Herridge said.

She stated that she personally obtained and retained a verified copy of the data.

“I got a copy of the laptop data. I have it. I have it here still. I went to a lot of effort to get the cleanest copy of the laptop data, the same data that was provided to the FBI, because I didn’t want to have any professional journalistic risk for CBS News.”

Herridge said the forensic review was central to her approach because she wanted the reporting to meet the highest standards before going on air.

Former Prince Andrew’s NINE-DAY Visit to Epstein’s NY Townhouse in 2010 Revealed in Its ‘Sordid Truth’

Andrew lied to the BBC and the British public about his stay at the late pedophile’s house.

To Emily Maitlis, in his ‘train crash’ BBC interview, Andrew said he visited Jeffrey Epstein in 2010 solely to ‘honorably’ tell him their friendship was over.

That was far from the truth.

Girls coming ‘after school’ and ‘$5,000 cash floats’ – his visit to Epstein’s New York mansion is finally revealed.

Daily Mail reported:

“He suggested he had stayed ‘four days’, but in truth Andrew enjoyed the pedophile’s hospitality for nine days, with the scheming financier organizing a dizzying timetable of meetings and parties – starting with a ‘facial’ cosmetic treat, the Daily Mail’s analysis of the latest cache of emails reveals. Epstein even told Andrew he had arranged ‘a car and driver for your use for the week’.”

PREDICTABLE: After British Ambassador’s Connections to Epstein Unearthed, Christopher Steele Blames Russia

This is no surprise.  After the British Ambassador was found connected to Jeffrey Epstein, Christopher Steele came out and blamed Russia. 

These people have no shame. 

We learned last week that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had a very close relationship with the Rothschilds.

After it became clear that Epstein was connected to the Brits and the Rothschilds, the man behind the Russia collusion lie pulled out his old playbook and claimed that Epstein was connected to the Russians.

Christopher Steele attempted to draw attention to the bigger picture behind the Epstein files, that a kompromat operation was hatched between Russian intelligence and Jeffrey Epstein. This alleged blackmail scheme was plotted solely to target some of the well-known Western elites…

…Speaking with Times Radio, Steele mentioned, “My understanding from sources in America is that they have tracked Epstein’s activities and operations back to the 1970s, as far back as that.” Steele’s U.S. sources claim that Epstein was likely recruited by Russia after his involvement with organized crime in Brighton Beach, New York.

At this point who would ever believe any Steele accusations concerning Russia?

In July, Susan Kokinda from Promethean Action delved into the deeper implications of Jeffrey Epstein’s ties with influential figures like British Ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson and the underlying financial schemes perpetuated by the elite.  This was before these recent Epstein files were released.

Senior Customs and Border Protection Official FIRED and Marched Out of Office for Leaking Sensitive, Personal Information to the Corporate Media

A high-ranking immigration official committed an unforgivable betrayal of his personnel and is paying the price.

As Fox News reported , the Department of Homeland Security announced they had fired a senior Customs and Border Protection official on Thursday for leaking sensitive, personal information about CBP personnel to the corporate media.

The CBP official also allegedly leaked details of negotiations over the border wall to the press.

A DHS spokesperson called the official’s conduct “abhorrently dangerous” during an interview with Fox News.

“As DHS law enforcement faces an 8000% increase in death threats, leaking law enforcement sensitive information is abhorrently dangerous,” the spokesperson told the outlet. “DHS is agnostic about your standing, tenure, political appointment, or status as a career civil servant — we will track down leakers and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.”

The official, who has not been named, was marched out of his CBP office in Washington, D.C.

This disturbing news comes as ICE and CBP officers have been doxxed by at least 13 database systems that store data, including Signal.

Fox News notes that this includes personal information, photographs, uniform details, behavior patterns, and phone numbers.

As TGP’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, one Signal group chat has exposed deep ties between Democrat officials, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and radical anti-ICE activists in Minneapolis.

The private messaging group, called “MN ICE Watch,” has allegedly been used to coordinate protests, issue marching orders, and even dox federal ICE agents during the ongoing protests and riots in Minneapolis.

The group has also created a database of license plates for vehicles used by ICE agents, and people can call in to check plates in the database.

FBI director Kash Patel has announced that his department is investigating these messaging chats.

The doxxing is not just limited to chat groups, either. Last month, a Minnesota reporter assisted in the doxxing of an ICE agent who killed leftist activist Renee Good in self-defense. The agent is now in hiding.

It is certainly possible that the fired CBP official participated in the doxxing of this agent.

Could It Be That the 2020 Election Fraud Will Be Exposed?

The Left is beginning to panic about Tulsi Gabbard’s investigation into the massive election fraud in 2020. 

They have good reason to. For the first time since then, I actually have hope that the fraud will be exposed for all to see. I would say that the evidence produced will be undeniable, but the left will always deny what they find inconvenient. 

But still, by the time Gabbard is done, a lot more people will believe what has been pretty obvious for a long time: that the election was not simply rigged by illegal rule changes and a massive effort to manipulate the process to produce an absolutely unprecedented number of votes (does anybody really believe that Joe Biden was so much more popular than Barack Obama that he got nearly 10% more votes than he without manipulating the process? Really?!), but outright stolen.

Rigging the election is different than stealing it, although the two are so closely adjacent that it is difficult to see the difference. By “rigging” I mean stretching or breaking the law to change voting processes, usually with the excuse that COVID required extraordinary and illegal measures be taken to ensure that people could safely vote. In addition, Pravda upped the volume of the hoaxes, spent inordinate amounts of effort to attack Trump and hide Biden’s infirmity, and the establishment poured Zuckerbucks into Secretaries of State around the country to take control over the voting process.
