NBC freelance reporter ripped for linking Nashville shooting to Ben Shapiro, Daily Wire
See also here. Day 1 can be seen here, Day 2 here and here.
[NYPOST] A freelancer for NBC News was blasted over a since-deleted tweet in which he appears to link the mass shooting at a Christian school in Nashville with the conservative media outlet the Daily Wire and its star commentators Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh.

Benjamin Ryan, a health and science news hound whose bylines also have appeared in the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, Rooters, the Washington Post and other outlets, posted a tweet on Monday in the aftermath of the shooting that left six people dead, among them three children, at the Covenant School in Nashville.

The shooter, who was identified as transgender
...mutton, dressed up as pork...
woman Audrey Elizabeth Hale,
...previously identified simply as Audrey Hale...
was killed by responding officers.

Ryan appears to imply in his tweet that Hale, a Nashville resident, was motivated to carry out the mass shooting due to the fact that the city is also where the Daily Wire is headquartered.

"NBC has ID’d the Nashville school shooter as Audrey Hale, 28, who identifies as transgender and had no previous criminal record," Ryan tweeted on Monday.

Ryan continued: "Nashville is home to the Daily Wire, a hub of anti-trans activity by @MattWalshBlog, @BenShapiro and @MichaelJKnowles."

Ryan then deleted the tweet in response to the backlash.

One Twitter user wrote: "6 dead plus the shooter. But this is how they cover it. Their agenda is so freakin’ transparent."

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Northern Ireland terror threat level has been raised from 'substantial' by MI5 less than two weeks before the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement

  • But Biden said it would make no difference to a visit expected next month

  • DailyMail.com previously reported he will visit Dublin and Belfast in April

#1  Sounds like a STAGED Media scenario.
To cast a manufactured imagine of a Fearless Joe.

Or, maybe the LSD's plan to replaced him before 2024. Where doing it in a foreign country where all types of investigative hurdles and roadblocks would occur.

Either way, WHY is he sticking his nose in the Ireland's mess? Given the MASSIVE number of issues we have to resolve here in the USA?

Oversight Committee: Hunter's Art Dealer Fails to Provide Requested Info on Anonymous Sales Before Deadline
[Breitbart] Hunter’s art dealer Georges Bergès failed to provide requested information on Hunter Biden’s anonymous art sales before Monday’s deadline, the House Oversight Committee told Breitbart News.

On March 14, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer demanded Bergès comply with requests for “any information regarding who is buying Mr. Biden’s art” or face a subpoena.

“This information will inform our legislation on matters that are within the jurisdiction of this Committee,” said Comer, who has said he is 95 percent sure Hunter’s sold artwork has found its way to China, potentially compromising the president.

Upon failing to provide information on who might have bought Hunter’s artwork, priced for sale at between $75,000 and $500,000, the Oversight Committee told Breitbart News it has received correspondence from Bergès’ attorney and will follow up with him soon.

It is not yet known what Bergès’ attorney conveyed to Comer.

The committee chair has threatened to compel the information if he continues to stonewall relevant information regarding Hunter’s anonymous art buyers and high-dollar art transactions.

Comer’s demand for transparency from Hunter and his art dealer comes as the art market is known for corruption. A Senate subcommittee report detailed in 2020 how the art market serves as a vehicle for money laundering:

The art industry is considered the largest, legal unregulated industry in the United States. Unlike financial institutions, the art industry is not subject to Bank Secrecy Act’s (“BSA”) requirements, which mandate detailed procedures to prevent money laundering and to verify a customer’s identity. While the BSA does not apply to art transactions by art dealers and auction houses, sanctions do. No U.S. person or entity is allowed to do business with a sanctioned individual or entity.

Despite the corruption in the art market, the White House has defended Hunter’s art sales to anonymous buyers.

In 2021, it praised Hunter for his art venture and defended him against ethical concerns. “The president remains proud of his son,” former White House press secretary Jen Psaki replied to concerns:

The president’s 53-year-old son has also remained defiant toward his critics, responding “f*ck’em” when asked.

#3  That area called the "Slave Coast" was also known as the Fever Coast for the endemic diseases, lethal diseases, that wreaked havoc on Europeans that visited there. Malaria, Yellow Fever, Cholera and seemingly endless other 'local tropical fevers' made the place a death ground. The locals, such as the Ashanti, sold their war captives to the Europeans ...it was simply too deadly for Europeans to stay and raid.

Government Corruption
BREAKING: Manhattan Grand Jury Investigating Trump to Break for a Month
[PJMedia] The Manhattan grand jury, which is probing the so-called “hush money” case of Stormy Daniels involving former President Donald Trump, will not receive any further evidence in the case for another month, reports Politico. According to the report, the break is “largely due to a previously scheduled hiatus.”

“The break would push any indictment of the former president to late April at the earliest, although it is possible that the grand jury’s schedule could change. In recent weeks, the Manhattan district attorney’s office hasn’t convened the panel on certain days. But it is District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prerogative to ask the grand jury to reconvene if prosecutors want the panel to meet during previously planned breaks,” Politico reported. “The grand jury, which heard testimony in the Trump case on Monday, isn’t meeting Wednesday and is expected to examine evidence in a separate matter Thursday, the person said. The grand jury, which typically meets Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, is scheduled to consider another case next week on Monday and Wednesday, the person said, and isn’t expected to meet Thursday due to the Passover holiday.”

The left has long been hoping for the indictment and arrest of former President Donald Trump. However, recent developments, including this new delay, suggest that the chance of an indictment is fizzling out.

The first hint that the indictment was going sour came when Robert Costello, a former legal advisor to Michael Cohen, appeared as a surprise witness last week. Trump touted Costello’s testimony as conclusive and irrefutable evidence of his innocence, and it seems he may not have been exaggerating.

Costello’s testimony, along with the evidence he presented, seemed to have had a significant impact on Bragg’s case against Trump as the following grand jury session after Costello’s testimony was postponed, and when they met again, they didn’t hear the case involving Trump. The grand jury did reportedly hear evidence in the case on Monday.

The Daily Mail reported last week that prosecutors have apparently been unsuccessful in persuading the jury to accept that Trump is guilty of a crime.

“They are having trouble convincing the jury to swallow the case. It’s a weak case and has caused divisions in the DA’s office,” a source allegedly told the outlet. “Other reports suggested the DA’s office could be contemplating a change of strategy. The grand jury meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but postponements are not unusual and jurors are warned to expect last-minute changes. Either way, it leaves the nation with a cliffhanger.”

This new development casts further doubt on the likelihood of the indictment occurring, particularly in light of a report from last week indicating that sources close to the investigation believe it is possible that Bragg may not end up indicting Trump after all — a bizarre turn of events when it was suggested two weeks ago that an indictment might be imminent. That said, legal experts from both sides of the political spectrum have pointed out the weakness of Bragg’s case.

How the Capitol Police Ignited a Riot on 6 Jan
[Gateway] J6 Prisoner Jeffrey McKellop spoke with The Gateway Pundit from his prison cell earlier this month. Jeffrey described this horrific event — When the Capitol Police threw an elderly woman 10 FEET down the stairs on January 6.

This was the spark that ignited the riot. This is what they police and feds wanted. It was all planned, organized and played out perfectly.

The video below includes the words of Jeffrey McKellop from his prison cell. Jeffrey describes perfectly the actions by the Capitol Police that ignited the crowds.

On Monday were sent the video from NOVA Campaigns and spliced it together with the voice-over of Jeffrey McKellop describing what happened from his prison cell.
