Inside America's most inbred family: Members of West Virginia's Whittakers family would BARK at people and only communicate through grunts while living in squalor overrun with animals
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Whittakers are known as America's most inbred family - brought to light by filmmaker Mark Laita in his 12-minute short film, 'Inbred Family-The Whittakers'

  • The three siblings' parents were first cousins, twice, because they share both sets of grandparents

  • Laita spent time with the family in 2021 in their village of 800 people named Odd, 75 miles south of Charleston

NYT Confirms FBI Operative Planted Evidence Inside Proud Boys Case
[Gateway] On Sunday The New York Times published an article confirming Gateway Pundit reporting earlier on the FBI planting evidence inside a Proud Boys coms group that was then later used to indict 5 Proud Boys members on "seditious conspiracy" charges. The New York Times also admit in their report that the FBI was listening in on jailhouse conversations between J6 prisoners and their contacts and family members. This is third-world tactics. Of course, The New York Times sees nothing wrong with these tactics when they are used on Trump supporters.

Julie Kelly tweeted on this on Sunday.

#7  Given all the DOJ, FBI & DA shady dealings in the Jan. 6th activities and trial. Such as ENTRAPMENT, PLANTED EVIDENCE, and more, surely these charges must be vacated.

The remaining question is:
WHEN will a Patsy be picked by the DC Swamp to take the fall for the serious crimes and constitutional violations?

Posted by: NN2N1 || 04/03/2023 13:52 Comments || Top||

#8  All the more pressure to get Trump sidelined (short of assassination). The swamp needs a President they control; Biden is perfect for them.

As Effort To ‘Get Trump' Ramps Up, Are Leaks From Bragg's Grand Jury a Crime?
[SUN via Gateway] As Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg tries to hang a felony charge on former President Donald Trump, leaks from the grand jury indictment against the former president could leave Bragg facing his own felony charge — if he was the source of the leak.

As noted by Newsweek, pieces of the indictment, but not the full document, have been leaked to the media, hence reports have been flying that there are 30 counts against Trump, at least one of which is a felony. Bragg is also dealing with calls from House Republicans to provide documents related to his investigation of Trump, NBC reported.

Leaking grand jury documents is a felony in New York. And that means Bragg could be in trouble, former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz wrote in a commentary piece published Friday by the New York Sun.

"It is likely that a serious felony has been committed right under District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s nose, and he is not investigating it. Under New York law, it is a felony to leak confidential grand jury information, such as whether the jurors voted to indict. The protection of secrecy is as applicable to President Trump as it is to anyone else," Dershowitz wrote.

"The most likely, though uncertain, scenario is that a person in Mr. Bragg’s office or a grand juror unlawfully leaked the sealed information," he wrote.

#1  OH, so that's why they have proposed or activated gag order on Trump, "restricting information or comment from being made public or passed onto any unauthorized third party".
Posted by: Dale || 04/03/2023 3:50 Comments || Top||

#2  That whole grand jury is a crime
Posted by: DarthVader || 04/03/2023 8:26 Comments || Top||

#3  Do Bragg’s employees think they are working for the Federal Government? No one can break the law like this unless they are federal employees. This is an outrageous usurpation of the Federal Government’s monopoly on law breaking leaks.

#4  Really guys, this gives BITEONE the ability to give THUMP a pardon in return for pardons!

#5  Nothing new about DA Bragg refusing to investigate felonies. He does it every day.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 04/03/2023 12:59 Comments || Top||

#6  Could be a gag order is the main reason for the indictment. The idea would be to prevent Trump from campaigning from now until November 2024. It'd be hysterical if he won anyway.

#11  Gonna be hard to resist the handcuffs. Trump in cuffs is a NY prosecutor's wet dream. Obviously, he will play it into a campaign event, but they still can't help themselves.

^ They hung up on you, Albert, because you are not a made guy. No leaks for you!

Manchin is Angry Biden Regime is 'Writing Rules and Regulations That are Totally Foreign' to What He Thought the 'Inflation Reduction Act' Would Do (VIDEO)
[Gateway] Democrat Senator Joe Manchin on Sunday said the Biden Regime is "writing rules and regulations that are totally foreign" to what he thought was in the Marxist Green New Deal dubbed the "Inflation Reduction Act."
He just didn't see it coming.
Manchin signed the "Inflation Reduction Act" and now he’s claiming the Biden Regime is not adhering to the original legislation.

Last July Manchin surprised Washington DC elites and the mainstream chattering class when he announced his support for Joe Biden’s green new deal funded by nearly $800 billion in new tax hikes.

The Green New Deal will crush the coal and energy sector in his home state of West Virginia. But it will make the windmill manufacturers in China rich.
Refused to listen to his constituents did he? How novel.
Manchin struck a deal with Schumer to pass the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" through reconciliation (no Republicans needed to pass the bill).

Joe Manchin last July defended his deal with Schumer and absurdly claimed Biden’s ’inflation reduction act’ lowers energy costs and doesn’t raise taxes.

Now he’s acting surprised that the Biden Regime isn’t ’adhering to the legislation.’

#3  In the glorious tradition of the "Cornhusker Kickback" and the dem who pushed Obamacare over the top in return for an abortion limitation clause that was dropped the moment the legislation was passed.

This is what you voted for, Joe. Just not what you thought you voted for.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 04/03/2023 7:44 Comments || Top||


#5  Pretty much everyone assumed that the act would cause massive inflation just based on how it was named. Did Manchin not understand the naming convention? Maybe Joe could use six weeks of Legos and cognitive drills somewhere. Fetterman’s spot in group is open.

Either that or he is lying his ass off as he knows he is getting kicked out next election.

GOP = Party of the Working Class
[NYPOST] “In a strict quantitative sense,” marvels the Liberal Patriot’s Ruy Teixeira, Republicans are now “the party of the American working class. That is, they currently get more working-class (noncollege) votes than the Democrats.” In 2022, the GOP “carried the nationwide working-class House vote by 13 points”; in 2020, Donald Trump carried it by 4 points over Joe Biden. And “Democrats’ hold on the nonwhite working class has also been slipping.” Plus, on race, “Trump voters were, on average, more tolerant and understanding than voters for prior Republican candidates.” Dems, don’t be “blasé about” the ongoing shift: If Republicans pick up another 5 points among these voters from 2020 to ’24, it “produces a solid 312-226 GOP electoral vote majority” and an Electoral College lock through 2040.

#1  It might be better to change “working class” to “productive class.” This welds entrepreneurial folks with the people that make stuff. Engineers are educated and productive. Women’s Studies teachers are educated but not productive.
