EXCLUSIVE: 14-year-old Jose Pagan made headlines a few months ago for his arrest on charges of child porn and making violent threats.

I got ahold of materials on his alleged online footprint that, if the charges hold true, point to a painfully familiar pattern: a rogues gallery of cultish, largely Satanist-inspired groups that authorities now call "nihilistic violent extremists."

The alleged connections are so broad they even include one offshoot group that helped radicalize a Tennessee school shooter, promoted pedophilia and grooming on Discord, and forced me to call the cops last year over a threat directed my way.

In this case, Pagan is accused of attempting to bomb a church, plotting to shoot Christians, and storing sadistic child abuse material on his devices.

No matter how outlandish a story like this seems at first glance, it is URGENT that everyone understands the danger these networks pose.

🚨#BREAKING: A 17-year-old from Maine is the first juvenile in the U.S. to be federally charged, adjudicated, and detained for acts of juvenile delinquency related to the teen's role in online nihilistic extremist groups connected to the 764 network.

The teen, whose identity is not being revealed because the law prohibits it, was found to have committed multiple acts, including conspiring to sexually exploit a child, sexually exploiting and enticing a child, distributing child sexual abuse material, sending interstate threats, cyberstalking victims, and identity theft.

This is the latest example of how #FBI Boston is focused on investigating the predators connected to this disturbing network and ensuring they are brought to justice. Read➡️ https://t.co/I09uY5FNFW

Plenty of posts are currently circulating online claiming to reveal the identity of the shooter in the killing of Charlie Kirk without any evidence.

According to the authorities, the shooter is currently at large and not in custody.

This is a misleading way to frame Russian interference. Russia isn’t interested in US party politics. It is interested in whatever will cause chaos, division, and the destruction of our institutions and government.

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

Could just be me, but it seems to me that realistic AI videos that make random individuals appear as mainstream journalists reporting from a real conflict zone might cause one or two serious issues that require some thought and consideration.

Right off the bat, CBS gets a basic fact wrong. Iran cannot make a nuclear weapon “in one or two weeks.” That is how long it would take to make enrich enough uranium for one bomb. Making an actual weapon would take much longer. Perhaps a year or more, according to US intel.

Retired federal judge Thomas Griffith, a conservative, co-authored a report looking into the 2020 election. He says Jan. 6 protestors were duped. “All the evidence points in one direction,” he says. “And that is that President Biden won, and President Trump lost.”

Jerod Hughes was among the first to enter the Capitol building on Jan. 6. He turned himself in and pleaded guilty to obstruction. He says he traveled to D.C. because he believes former President Trump is "trying to help the little guy out against the big government."

Tariffs. David Muir picks it up, correctly noting that the costs are passed onto the consumer. Trump says there will be no higher prices. BUT HE IS JUST WRONG ON THIS. HE JUST HAS NO IDEA HOW THIS WORKS.
