FBI let suspect in plot to kill Trump into U.S. on parole despite terror ties, Iran trip, memos show | 8 Aug 2024 | The FBI allowed Asif Raza Merchant, the Pakistani man charged with plotting with Tehran to assassinate Donald Trump and others, to enter the U.S. in April with special permission known as “significant public benefit parole” even though he was flagged on a terrorism watchlist and recently traveled to Iran, according to government documents reviewed by Just the News. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force interviewed Merchant, fingerprinted him and inspected the contents of his electronic devices when he arrived at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, in Houston, but then let him leave with the special parole that expired on May 11, the memos state. Merchant wasn’t arrested until July 12, after a confidential human source ascertained he had tried to line up assassins and was planning to leave the United States, the FBI said.
 
Double standard? Tulsi Gabbard on watchlist while terror suspect let go to plan assassinations –The FBI allowed Asif Raza Merchant to enter the U.S. in April with special permission even though he was flagged on a terrorism watchlist while the TSA monitored former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard under a separate program. | 9 Aug 2024 | While the Biden regime placed former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on a watchlist, the FBI released into the U.S. on a special parole the Pakistani man who sought to plan an assassination of Donald Trump and other politicians. According to several whistleblowers, Gabbard — a military officer and former Hawaii congresswoman and presidential candidate — was placed on a watchlist under Quiet Skies, a TSA surveillance program designed to focus law enforcement resources on travelers that present an elevated risk to aviation security. Yet, while the government surveilled Gabbard, the FBI allowed Asif Raza Merchant to enter the U.S. in April with special permission known as “significant public benefit parole” even though he was flagged on a terrorism watchlist and recently traveled to Iran, according to government documents reviewed and reported on by Just the News. Merchant would later go on to organize an assassination plot targeting U.S. politicians, though he ended up trying to recruit undercover law enforcement as the hitmen leading to his arrest shortly before his attempt to leave the country.
 
Rep. Raskin Announces Plan to Deny Trump Presidency Using 14th Amendment, Prepare for ‘Civil War Conditions’ | 5 Aug 2024 | Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.) announced plans to prevent former President Donald Trump from taking office on January 20, 2025, if reelected by invoking the 14th Amendment. Raskin on Feb. 17 said Democrats must prepare for civil war and station bodyguards for all of them ahead of invoking the 14th Amendment to deny Trump the presidency, and blamed the Supreme Court for refusing to rule on whether the former president committed an “insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021. “They want to kick it to Congress, so it’s going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified and then we need bodyguards for everybody and civil war conditions,” Raskin said at Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C… Now Raskin is proposing Congress exercise its constitutional authority to pass legislation declaring that Trump committed an “insurrection” on January 6, therefore disqualifying him from taking office under the 14th Amendment.
 
Michigan is pushing residents to report their neighbors to the government for spreading election ‘misinformation’ | 8 Aug 2024 | The state of Michigan is encouraging residents to report one another to authorities in a misguided attempt to stop the flow of so-called “election misinformation.” Michigan’s Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is behind the campaign, and a document from her office lists an email address people can use to report their neighbors. Residents are being instructed to keep an eye on those around them and report anything they see or hear that they believe is “misinformation” — and they are even being told to include an image if they can. An “Election Misinformation” document published by the state’s Bureau of Elections lists so-called threats to a “healthy democracy.” They claim that misinformation about voters’ rights and the election process could pose a serious threat to the security of elections. [Methinks these nut-jobs doth protest too much. Another rigged “election” is surely on the way.]

NATO member to join genocide case against Israel | 7 July 2024 | Türkiye intends to formally join a genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has announced, at a news conference in Cairo. The ICJ case was launched in December by South Africa, which accused the Jewish state of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The Hague court has yet to issue a final ruling, but has ordered Israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the UN Genocide Convention. Fidan stressed that the Middle East can no longer tolerate Israel’s “provocations,” including its attacks on Lebanon and Iran, and accused the Jewish state of pursuing violence and “expansionism” while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aims “to set the entire region on fire.”

The Republican gained support from 50 percent of likely Jewish voters in the state, compared to 49 percent who opted for Kamala Harris, according to a Siena Research Institute poll.

Biden Admin Suggests Spending $78 Trillion to Achieve Net-Zero Global Carbon Emissions by 2050 | 6 Aug 2024 | U.S. Treasury Secretary [WEF lunatic] Janet Yellen said during a speech in Belem, Brazil, on Saturday that the price tag for a global transition to a low-carbon economy amounts to 78 trillion in financing through 2050.

Biden said he ‘cured the economy’ days before recession fears spark market selloff –Wall Street’s fear gauge is at a 4-year high | 5 Aug 2024 | Joe Biden claimed to have “cured the economy” last week, days before global stocks plummeted Monday. Biden made the comment while speaking to reporters outside the White House, saying the economy would be part of his legacy as president. “Mr. President [sic] What do you want your legacy for Gen Z to be?” a reporter asked. “That I cured the economy. And the environment. And a few other small things,” Biden responded. The comment quickly became the subject of ridicule online Monday when a global market meltdown caused Wall Street’s fear gauge to spike to the highest level in four years on Monday.

Cori Bush loses primary in latest blow to progressive ‘squad’ | 6 Aug 2024 | Rep. Cori Bush (D) lost her primary in Missouri on Tuesday in the latest blow to the progressive “squad” on Capitol Hill, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ. Bush’s loss to St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell in the 1st Congressional District’s Democratic primary makes her the second member of the group to lose reelection after Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) earlier this year. Pro-Israel special interest groups spent the most on the race, with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the United Democracy Project (UDP), AIPAC’s super PAC, dropping some 9 million to defeat Bush, who has been critical of Israel’s war against the terrorist organization Hamas.
