Grateful for Catherine’s take on all of this. She is one of the last journalists we have in this country.

🚨BREAKING: DECLASSIFIED CIA EMAILS ADMIT OFFICIALS “DELIBERATELY MASSAGED” PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DAILY BRIEF TO HIDE CHINA’S 2020 ELECTION OPERATION🚨

Fifty years ago, the Church Committee warned America about what happens when our intelligence agencies turn their immense power against the people they serve. This week, we learned it happened again. Newly declassified documents released by the Trump Administration show that intelligence officials deliberately altered what President Trump was told about China’s operation to influence the 2020 election.

Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge found the proof in their own words, and she started finding it within hours of the release.

The email is dated Friday, November 20, 2020. The sender’s name is redacted, but the signature line identifies the author as a Strategic Intelligence Analyst working on China and North Korea Strategic Assessments. The email reads, “We have deliberately massaged our one pending PDB to avoid any direct links to the election.”

The PDB is the President’s Daily Brief, the most sensitive intelligence document in the United States government. It exists for one purpose, which is to give the Commander in Chief the unvarnished truth so he can defend this nation. These officials admitted, in writing, that they doctored it.

The email confirms what a whistleblower inside the intelligence community alleged years ago.

According to Herridge’s reporting, that whistleblower sounded the alarm in the summer of 2020, right as the country headed into the election.

Analysts were seeing indicators of a Chinese influence operation, which means an effort to shape how Americans vote and how they feel about a presidential candidate. That differs from an interference operation, which means penetrating voter rolls and voting systems.

The whistleblower raised the warning through proper channels, and then the whole thing was suppressed.
Herridge describes what the intelligence community calls a multi-domain operation. Beijing pulled every lever of power it had. That included trade, diplomacy, open-source information, and social media, all aimed at one American election.

The scale goes beyond messaging. Herridge also reports allegations that China hacked the data of more than 220 million American voters. She warns that Beijing can combine those records with stolen security clearance files and health data to build digital dossiers on millions of Americans, opening the door to voter registration fraud, identity theft&espionage recruitment.

A foreign adversary now holds a file on you, your family&your neighbors&the officials paid to sound the alarm chose silence instead.

The bias was even written by hand. Herridge reports that some intelligence documents contained edits in officials’ own handwriting showing they wanted out anything that could help President Trump win reelection.

Personal political feelings drove decisions inside the agencies our tax dollars fund to protect us&the people who wrote those edits knew exactly what they were doing.

When unelected officials hide a foreign adversary’s operation from a duly elected President, they betray their oath, they betray the Constitution, and they betray you.

Our founders gave us Article III for a reason.

They knew the gravest danger to a republic comes from those who aid its enemies from within.

Every official who touched that briefing should face investigation under oath&prosecutors should follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Herridge made one more point worth remembering.
The administration released these documents so the public can fact-check every claim for themselves.

You do not have to take my word for it&you should not take the media’s word for it either. Read them yourself.

Then ask why the same people who lectured us about protecting democracy were quietly rewriting what POTUS was allowed to know.

The world came to America for six weeks, and America delivered.

Sold-out stadiums, incredible fans, and Freddy’s journey across the country showed the world the energy and spirit of the American people.

What a privilege to be at the final today with Catherine. Perfect Father-daughter day. Congratulations to Spain on a hard-fought win!

This is one of the most important moments ever aired on CNBC.

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya says the media lied to millions of Americans about President Trump, and that after going back to the original source material, he realized he had been completely misled about Trump’s character.

PALIHAPITIYA: “The reality is that most of us were lied to by the media about President Trump.”

“And if you just go back to the source material, you should take away two things.”

“One, he didn’t say half the things he said, and two, why did these other people just fabricate what they wanted to say so that they could essentially assassinate his character?”

“I think that that second thing is completely unacceptable in America, and there’s still been no repercussions, really.”

“I took the time to learn about it. I admitted where…you know, the way that I met him was, I admitted on the pod, which, you know, has millions of viewers.”

“And I said, I got it totally wrong because I went and I watched Charlottesville.”

“And, you know, the first person to call me? President Trump.”

“And I got to know him and I put the phone down, I called my wife, and I said, we got it TOTALLY, totally wrong. We were lied to.”

“And then I got to know him and he is fantastic!”

Justice Barrett:

"I didn't expect that performing this service was going to put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was, and why I had to wear one."

The attempted violence against Justices Barrett and Kavanaugh mirrors actions against President Trump and Charlie Kirk.

Where are the Democrats denouncing this violence? All I hear are crickets

Guys like @CynicalPublius, @KurtSchlichter, and even @infantrydort give the press hell for nitpicking and running fake news.

The MSM earns that scorn. But here’s the harder truth: praise is difficult to write because sometimes there’s nothing to report.

I just spent two hours aboard USS Arlington. I got nothing, folks.
I walked every major space. Met a dozen crew. Hung around the bridge asking questions.

They answered every one.

The ship was in tip-top condition. Not perfect. The crew had a few gripes, but they’re too inside baseball to matter on X.

And it wasn’t just the big things, it’s never the big things. What they reminded me of was an old Navy motto “Attention to detail”

Small things like stencil marks that don’t bleed, emergency gear properly lanyard, hatch latches not missing those little springs.

All those things that drive an old ship captain like me absolutely bat sh!t crazy not because we care so much about those little tiny things but because we know that if we find little things broken, there are big problems the crew is hiding from us.

So I got hours on a ship and nothing to report. No rust stain that’s going to get me 3M views. No overweight sailor who hasn’t shaved in three days. No sensationalism anywhere.

If I had an editor at a major newspaper, he’d ask why the hell I wasted my time.

I don’t have an editor. So I’ve got nothing.

And nobody wants to read about nothing. There were a dozen story fragments I could have stretched with half truths, but that wouldn’t be fair to a crew that has worked its tail off.

All I’ve got is a BZ. I’m posting it anyway.
Maybe a few patriots make it viral. Maybe not. Fine either way, because the truth always wins.

Bravo Zulu USS Arlington

P.S. Ok one story: Marlon a sharp young officer whose dad cut hair and refilled vending machines on Navy ships in the 90’s. A son who's a razor sharp officer on a ship defending your freedom from the CIC. The American dream lives on 🇺🇸.

[Among the Wildflowers @deaflibertarian]

On a videophone call through a sign language interpreter, I was told they had a senior deaf black cat who used sign language at the shelter. Because of age and deafness, they will euthanize her unless someone adopted her. I had already been pre-approved to adopt.

I arrived and...

it wasn't a cat.

It was a dog!

I signed to her, and she signed back, but she was clearly frightened and overwhelmed. My heart knew I could not leave her there.

At home with her I quickly realized...she wasn't deaf either!

I did some digging; the previous owner was a deaf woman in Houston. She had passed away.

That "deaf black cat" turned out to be a hearing black dog who knows signs.

And that's how Luna Lovegood became part of our family.

We should build more such statues. There is a similar figure in Vermont Hannah Hunter Hendee after a joint Mohawk Indian and British raiding party came from Quebec down the White River burning 5 towns they got to Royalton Vermont putting the town to the torch taking 26 captive.

Hannah Hendee, a 27-year-old mother, managed to escape initial capture with her young daughter. However, the raiders seized her young son, Michael, along with 8 other children to take back to Canada to be sold for $8 a head to be used for forced labor.

Hannah after making sure her daughter was safe proceeded to pursue the joint British and Mohawk raiding party for 3 miles swam across the White River and without any weapons stormed into the enemy camp found the British commander leading the raid Lieutenant Richard Houghton. She delivered a fierce reprimand, telling him it was a cowardly disgrace for the British army to wage war against defenseless, innocent children.

Lieutenant Houghton attempted to brush her off by lying about his own authority. Saying "I cannot control the Indians; it is none of my concern what they do."

Hannah retorted "You are their commander, and they must and will obey you!"

Houghton then changed tactics, attempting to placate her by stating that the children would not be harmed, but would instead be taken to Canada, treated well, and trained up as soldiers.

Hannah fiercely countered this second claim, stating that a group of 7-to-12-year-old boys could never physically survive a grueling hundreds-of-miles march through the freezing October wilderness. She delivered her most famous historical indictment: "They cannot survive a march to Canada. Their blood will be on your hands!"

Faced with a woman who completely refused to accept his excuses, and facing the uncomfortable prospect of being historically branded a child-killer, Houghton finally relented and ordered the warriors to release Hannah's son and the nine other boys.

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!

A mother stepped in front of an armed Black male robber to protect her son…

…AND HE SH0T HER IN THE HEAD AS SHE RAN AWAY!!!!!

Her name was Jean Gragg, she was 40 years old.

Her son had arranged to sell a watch on Facebook Marketplace.

The buyer came to their own home in South Bend, Indiana.

Police say that 18-year-old buyer, John Ford, pulled out a gun, said “I need it,” and tried to rip the watch out of the son’s hands.

Jean did what a mother does… she stepped BETWEEN them.

She put herself in front of the gun and chased him off her property.

Then, police say, surveillance video shows the coward turning and firing at her MULTIPLE TIMES as she turned around and ran back toward her house.

He sh0t her in the head.

He threw the gun over a fence and ran.

On Saturday, Jean Gragg sadly passed away.

He is now charged with M*RDER.

WE. DO. NOT. HAVE. TO. LIVE. LIKE. THIS!!!!!!!!!

Say her name. Jean Gragg.
