Sheriff’s Deputy Who Aided Rosanne Boyland on Jan. 6 Faces Up to 14 Years in Prison

by

‘I don’t even know the words to be honest with you about how insane this is,’ Sarah McAbee said of the proposed sentence for her husband, Ronald Colton McAbee.

Sarah McAbee said she wasn’t shocked that federal prosecutors used sentencing “enhancements” to develop a recommendation that her Jan. 6 defendant husband be sent to prison for 14 years for the roughly seven minutes he spent outside the tunnel entrance at the U.S. Capitol.

“I don’t even know the words to be honest with you about how insane this is,” Ms. McAbee said about the ongoing case against former sheriff’s deputy Ronald Colton McAbee, 30, of Unionville, Tennessee. “You know, there’s just no words when you sit back and think about it as a whole.”

Mr. McAbee was found guilty by a jury in October of five felony charges including inflicting bodily injury on Metropolitan Police Department Officer Andrew Wayte, civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, and engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon.

The Left-Wing Megadonors Pushing for Ranked Choice Voting

by

Written Testimony
To Georgia Senate Ethics Committee
Sen. Max Burns, Chairman

Scott Walter
President, Capital Research Center

January 22, 2024

Chairman Burns, Vice Chairman Williams, and distinguished members of the Committee, thank you for the honor of testifying. I’m Scott Walter, president of the Capital Research Center, a think tank that specializes in identifying special interests and the money flows they use to push state and federal policies.

We track the special interests that aim to influence how Americans vote, including efforts to introduce ranked-choice voting, or RCV.[1] Though this scheme was first used in America a century ago, it was largely forgotten until tens of millions of dollars began to be put behind it in the last several years.

Like many special interests, the donors pouring money into this election scheme frame it as a “nonpartisan” idea. But the cash behind RCV demonstrates that is not true. Left-wing Democrats are its largest boosters.

You may or may not decide RCV is desirable. As an out-of-stater, I won’t presume to tell you what’s best for Georgia. But please don’t fall for false claims that centrists or nonpartisans are the main backers of RCV, or that lots of conservative donors support it.

Left-wing megadonors who’ve put cash behind RCV include Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced cryptocurrency tycoon who was the second largest Democratic Party donor in the 2022 cycle, behind only George Soros.[2] Second, Katherine Gehl, former head of Gehl Foods, is almost certainly the largest single donor to RCV campaigns. She was a bundler for Obama,[3] though she now donates to some Republicans she needs to pass RCV laws. But it’s almost impossible to find her giving to Republicans before 2018.[4] She also supports the group Democracy Found, among others.

Ebay billionaire Pierre Omidyar is another major donor to RCV. He’s a megadonor to numerous left-wing causes and probably the largest donor in America to so-called Never Trump efforts.[5] On election issues, he not only supports RCV but also such dubious policies as expanding vote by mail.

Refusing to Wear a Mask Isn’t Protected by US Constitution: Federal Court

by

Refusing to wear masks isn’t conduct protected by the U.S. Constitution, a U.S. appeals court has ruled.

“A question shadowing suits such as these is whether there is a First Amendment right to refuse to wear a protective mask as required by valid health and safety orders put in place during a recognized public health emergency. Like all courts to address this issue, we conclude there is not,” U.S. Circuit Judge Thomas Ambro said in a Feb. 5 ruling.

“Skeptics are free to—and did—voice their opposition through multiple means, but disobeying a masking requirement is not one of them,” Judge Ambro added. “One could not, for example, refuse to pay taxes to express the belief that ‘taxes are theft.’ Nor could one refuse to wear a motorcycle helmet as a symbolic protest against a state law requiring them.”

The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit came in response to cases filed by New Jersey residents George Falcone and Gwyneth Murray-Nolan, who argued that their refusal to wear masks at school board meetings was protected under the First Amendment.

Mr. Falcone “was engaged in constitutionally protected activities, including his remaining unmasked,” before he was given a summons by police in 2022, one of the complaints stated.

Ms. Murray-Nolan showed up to a Cranford Township Board of Education meeting on Jan. 24, 2022, without a mask to protest the school board’s mask mandate. Many other attendees either refused to wear masks or took theirs off after officials went into private session in response to the unmasked attendees. When people still wouldn’t don masks, the board canceled the meeting.

FBI Defies Court Order – Refuses to Turn Over Seth Rich Evidence to Attorney

by

Clevenger also investigated who supplied the DNC and Podesta emails to the DNC during the 2016 election cycle This was always the key to the Trump-Russia collusion nightmare. No proof was ever offered up by the fake news legacy media, Democrats, or the intelligence community on this scandal. If Russia did not supply the DNC emails to WikiLeaks then this was more proof that the DOJ’s Russia collusion story was a complete lie used to fool the American public.

After years of denying they had anything related to Seth Rich, the FBI and DOJ were caught lying over and over again. In September 2023, a judge finally demanded the FBI and DOJ provide all they had regarding Seth Rich to Attorney Clevenger. The FBI responded requesting another 66 years before releasing the information. They wanted it moved out like the JFK assassination reports.

Then in late November, a Federal Judge ruled the FBI must hand over evidence regarding former DNC employee Seth Rich’s murder to Ty Clevenger.

This is big news since one year earlier the FBI was attempting to bury the information on Seth Rich for 66 years.

No media outlet has covered the Seth Rich story as extensively as The Gateway Pundit.

Judge Amos L. Mazzant ruled the FBI must hand over Rich’s personal laptop, work laptop, a DVD, and thumb drive within 14 days.

It’s now been over 40 days since this ruling came down and the lawless Chris Wray FBI has defied the court order.

Poison Spiders at the Center of the Web

by

“The same people accusing Trump voters of subverting democracy are the ones who cheated in every election since the 1960s, lied to get us into half a dozen stupid wars, created Covid in a lab, and then covered that up. You are free to tell them to STFU” — Peachy Keenan

You know why the judge let provocateur Ray Epps off the hook for his antics before and during the so-called J-6 “insurrection,” don’t you? Well, yes, it was partly because he was acting at the direction of blob officials, most likely the FBI, but possibly the CIA, Defense Intelligence, or some black-box fed outfit no one ever of (but somehow gets half a billion in funding every year). Ol’ Ray, pleaded to one year’s probation (no jail time), 100 hours of community service (checking books out at his local library?), and a $500 fine. Say, what. . . ? A speeding ticket on the Rockville Pike would probably cost you more.

You remember those videos of Ray on the DC street the day before the riot, importuning the crowd, a commanding presence with his military bearing and red hat, six inches taller than most of the other men around him, yelling, “Tomorrow we need to go into the Capitol, into the Capitol!”  At which moment the crowd groaned “no-o-o-o. . . !” and then commenced chanting, “fed. . . fed. . . fed. . . !” They had his number. His use of the word need was especially beguiling, as in, who actually “needed” that to happen?

Berkey Water Filter Maker Sues EPA Over Claims That Its Products Are ‘Pesticides’

by

The maker of Berkey water filters, New Millennium Concepts, is suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over what it says are false claims by the federal agency that its products are “pesticides.”

Using COVID-19-era regulatory powers, the EPA issued a stop-sales order to several Berkey vendors and distributors in May, resulting in mounting financial losses for the Texas-based company, which was founded in 1998.

On Aug. 3, New Millennium Concepts filed a lawsuit in a Fort Worth federal court that challenges the EPA’s stop-sales order as “unjustified persecution.”

“They’re going after the vendors. It’s really a way of starving Berkey in the market so we have nothing available—that’s the problem,” the company’s attorney, Warren Norred, told The Epoch Times.
