US, South Korea and Japan conduct naval drill amid North Korean conflict
South Korea’s military announced Wednesday that the United States, South Korea and Japan have conducted what is likely the largest joint naval exercise in history in a show of strength against nuclear-armed North Korea. Senior diplomats from the three allies were scheduled to meet in Seoul to discuss the worsening conflict with North Korea.
The exercise off South Korea’s Jeju Island, which also included an American aircraft carrier, aims to strengthen countries’ comprehensive deterrence and response capabilities against North Korean nuclear, missile, and underwater threats, as well as to combat illegal North Korean weapons.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it was a weapon of mass destruction. He did not say whether the drill reflected concerns about North Korea allegedly supplying weapons to Russia to support the war in Ukraine.
REVEALED: A plainclothes Capitol Police officer discovered the DNC pipe bomb
The individual who spotted the pipe bomb placed at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, DC, and discovered on Jan. 6, 2021, was a plainclothes Capitol Police officer, a new report has revealed.
Numerous congressional staffers who are familiar with the probe told Blaze Media that after months of the FBI stonewalling inquiries of various congressional committees, they now know who that person is after they were previously only identified as a “passerby.”
He is seen sporting dark clothes and a backpack in leaked footage, initially conversating with an officer on the driver’s side of the patrol car. He then casually strolls around to the car’s passenger side window, where he talks a bit more.
Biden admin flagged financial transactions containing terms ‘MAGA,’ ‘Trump’
The letter from the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government and the Committee on the Judiciary have obtained documents indicating that following January 6, 2021, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) “distributed materials to financial institutions that, among other things, outline the ‘typologies’ of various persons of interest and provide financial institutions with suggested search terms and Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) for identifying transactions on behalf of federal law enforcement.”
These search terms included “Trump,” and “MAGA.”
“In other words,” Jim Jordan, chair of the committee wrote, “FinCEN urged large financial institutions to comb through the private transactions of their customers for suspicious charges on the basis of protected political and religious expression.”
Fiery Tractor Protests Launched in France as Farmer Uprising Spreads Across Europe
Following a week of farmer uprisings across Germany, disaffected farmers rose up in protest against the globalist government of Emmanuel Macron in France, with manure being dumped and hay set on fire in Avignon and Toulouse on Tuesday.
A veritable peasants’ revolt appears to be budding across the continent as overregulation, inflation and the green agenda are taking their toll on the ability of farmers to earn a living in — and consequently feed the people of — modern Europe.
The latest protests to crop up in France came over the low payout from supermarket chains to food producers.
What If You Dropped Evidence AG Garland Knew The Elections Were Fraudulent And No One In ‘Conservative Media’ Noticed?
Yesterday we dropped a story that the wife of U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Lynn Garland, sent emails to Maryland election officials in 2015 stating the election machines used in Maryland were illegal and not certified, as they were connected to the internet.
The silence has been deafening, especially from ‘conservative media’.
This Garland revelation completely destroys Jack Smith’s case, and the prosecutions of Fani Willis.
Georgia Lawyer Writes in Daily Beast: ‘Why We Can’t Shrug Off the Fani Willis Scandal’
Fleischman argued while the other two special prosecutors are “incredibly qualified,” they earn less than Wade, writing:
…Anna Cross is a former DeKalb County assistant district attorney who handled dozens of felony appeals and argued important motions for Fulton County. John Floyd is widely considered Georgia’s leading expert on state RICO prosecutions and helped draft the law. Combined, they billed $116,000 (less than a quarter of Wade’s total). And according to an agreement obtained by the Daily Caller, Floyd appears to have been paid about $100 less per hour than Wade.
Fleischman dismissed Willis’s argument that Wade was competent because he had been hired as special counsel by a white Republican when Cobb County hired him to conduct an investigation into jail deaths.
He noted, “…a local news station successfully argued that the investigation was only launched to prevent the public from filing open records requests into the deaths.”
Our daughter’s school tried to socially transition her in secret. We’re taking a stand
Like any loving parents, my wife and I were worried. We worked closely with her teachers and other school personnel to understand her challenges and help her overcome them.
What we didn’t know was that these same people were lying to us – intentionally withholding important information and misleading us about what was happening to our daughter.
Dan and Jennifer Mead (Providing an alliance to protect freedom)
My 11-year-old daughter’s school plans to have her share a bed with a male student.
It took a flaw in the school’s documents (the man’s name had been left on the documents) to uncover what was happening. Once she understood the big picture, she was finally able to solve the problem her daughter was struggling with. Thanks to that, she is now at peace with herself and her identity and is doing amazingly well.
Texas Sen. John Cornyn Caves to Lankford Immigration Plot: ‘Unique Leverage’
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will travel to the White House on Wednesday to discuss Ukraine aid and a potential border deal.
Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) has led negotiations for Republicans over a potential deal with Democrats on border policy. However, the deal, as currently presented, is functionally dead in the House, as Johnson has nixed any potential consideration of the bill. Instead, Johnson has said that the House must consider the House Republican-passed border bill, H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said the deal is a “sellout” and argued it would “continue to allow illegal immigration:”

Sharing deepfake porn could lead to lengthy prison time under proposed law
On Tuesday, Rep. Joseph Morelle (D-NY) announced that he has re-introduced the “Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act,” which seeks to “prohibit the non-consensual disclosure of digitally altered intimate images.”
Under the proposed law, anyone sharing deepfake pornography without an individual’s consent risks damages that could go as high as $150,000 and imprisonment of up to 10 years if sharing the images facilitates violence or impacts the proceedings of a government agency.
The hope is that steep penalties will deter companies and individuals from allowing the disturbing images to be spread.
