I’m calling on all American journalists to take a stance against my prosecution for asking questions and exposing the vouching system.
Everything, including your own 1st amendment rights, is on the line now.
CAUGHT INSIDE MINNEAPOLIS POLLING BOOTHS: Minnesota Poll Workers Tell O’Keefe, Dressed in Muslim Garb, & @camhigby, in a Burka, That They Can Vouch for Eight Unregistered Voters Without ID, Allowing Them to Vote in Minnesota Primary Election
Election worker says, “You’re the ID,” referring to the registered voter serving as identification for the people they are vouching for.
Election worker confirms O’Keefe’s question about unregistered voters being vouched for: “I can vouch for them. They are not registered… That’s okay. That’s fine. Yeah!”
Election worker explains that a registered voter in the same precinct can vouch for up to eight people: “If you’re all in the same precinct and you are already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people.”
More reports coming soon from the Justice League. @realmuckraker @anthonyjrubin @camhigby @ctznjusticelg

Ngo investigates: I've been able to find out the real identity of the trans violent extremist accused of attacking a @uofutah conservative student after wishing for mass deadly violence.
"Amber Grace" is the alias of Robert Jefferson Tulley. He's a Roblox game developer who has worked on many children's gaming projects.
He works at @gamefamstudios in Salt Lake City. ngocomment.com
“I think Republicans should be shot in the street.”
Video recorded at @uofutah captured an alleged attack by a far-left trans militant who uses the name “Amber Grace.” The victim was a College Republicans member. The trans person, a man, is facing charges of assault and property damage.
Far-left groups immediately said that “Amber” was the victim of the attack by being recorded and that he shouldn’t face any legal accountability.
The chilling call to leftist violence from the trans militant follows a pro-trans gunman allegedly assassinating Charlie Kirk on an Utah campus.

Democrats continuing their support of transing children with threats from the government against parents who don’t comply is an underreported voter issue this election cycle.

Looking back, I wish I could visit one of those fall evenings again. Bicycles scattered across the driveway, Dad raking the yard, and Mom calling us in for supper. We thought those days would last forever. Maybe that's what made them so beautiful.

Running a spoiler might not technically be illegal, but any false statements to federal or state investigators about recruiting "Decoy Dan" could mean serious trouble.

Not included in this headline is info that has been available for days now that this man is a Venezuelan illegal alien who had his green card revoked after immigration fraud proceedings, a deportation order was issued against him, and he was arrested on gun & drug charges.
It’s not even mentioned until deep into the article too.
To the young baseball players at a D.C. middle school, Amaury Monsalve is affectionately known as “Coach A.”
After he was detained by ICE, more than a dozen families wrote letters to support his case, and the community has raised more than $80,000. wapo.st/4zbGCEz

In Margraten, Netherlands, there is a 65-acre cemetery with 8,301 graves of American soldiers who died liberating the Netherlands.🪖
Each of the American graves is adopted by a local family as their own. Currently, there is a 300-person waiting list to adopt one. 🇳🇱🇺🇸

Your brain builds whatever you rehearse.
Rehearse worry and you get better at worry.
Rehearse gratitude and you get better at gratitude.
Choose your reps on purpose.

An 8 oz bag of Sour Patch Kids is 192 g of sugar. The bag weighs 227 g.
The label reads sugar, invert sugar, corn syrup and modified corn starch, then under 2% of tartaric acid, citric acid, natural and artificial flavor, Yellow 6, Red 40, Yellow 5 and Blue 1. The first 3 ingredients are sugar in 3 forms. Invert sugar is table sugar split into glucose and fructose so it stays soft and doesn't crystallize, and corn syrup does the same thing from the other direction. The starch is what makes it a gummy instead of a syrup.
The sour is the under 2%. FDA's listing for tartaric acid describes it as a byproduct of wine manufacturing, the crust that forms inside wine tanks, scraped out, purified and ground to a powder. Most of the world's supply still comes from wineries. The rest, mostly made in China since the late 1990s, starts from maleic anhydride, a petrochemical, and a bacterial enzyme turns it into tartaric acid. Citric acid is the one grown on a mold. Both acids are in the sugar coating on the outside of the candy, which is why the bag says sour then sweet.

🚨 BREAKING: Alabama prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for all eight people charged in the torture and execution of 20-year-old Mahogany Jackson in Birmingham.
Jackson was handcuffed, stripped, and subjected to hours of abuse that the suspects filmed. She texted family early on February 25 that she was being held hostage. Video later showed her being stomped on, spit on, dragged naked by her hair toward a car trunk, and forced to perform sex acts at gunpoint.
She was shot in the back of the head and her body dumped at a site known locally as “Dead Man’s Road.”
The eight indicted on capital murder, kidnapping, and sodomy: Giovonnie Clapp, Blair Green, Teja Lewis, Si’Niya McCall, Airana Robinson, Brandon Pope, Francis Harris, and Jeremiah McDowell.
Veteran investigators called it one of the most gruesome cases they’ve ever seen.
Prosecutors are moving forward with no mercy.
Death penalty for all of them.

🇺🇸 Three Chamberlains stood on Little Round Top that day at Gettysburg.
Joshua and Tom are famous for it. Their brother, John, was there too.
John was the middle brother and a seminary student back in Maine. He had gone south in early June just to see his brothers in the 20th Maine.
Once the campaign for Gettysburg began, he did not leave. He joined the U.S. Christian Commission and came north with the regiment and Fifth Corps, reaching the field on July 2.
The three brothers were riding together toward Little Round Top when a Confederate shell almost ended them all.
Joshua turned and told them: “Boys, I don’t like this. Another such shot might make it hard for mother. Tom, go to the rear of the regiment and see that it is well closed up! John, pass up ahead and look out a place for our wounded.”
While Joshua and Tom fought on the hill, John stayed just behind them in the field hospitals. His own later report and diary describe his washing wounds, providing shade and comfort, and taking final messages for the soldiers.
He remained at Gettysburg at least through July 11, still caring for the wounded.
John had suffered from tuberculosis since 1859. He married in 1866, however, the disease returned and he passed in August 1867 at the young age of 29.
His widow would marry his brother Thomas in 1870.
🇺🇸 Carry arms. That was the order Brig. Gen. Joshua Chamberlain gave to his men as the defeated Army of Northern Virginia approached at Appomattox.
Confederate Maj. Gen. John B. Gordon, leading the first column, ordered his men to return the same position.
Nearly 22,000 Confederate infantry marched past in divisions and stacked their muskets.
In his memoirs, Gordon later called Chamberlain one of the knightliest soldiers in the Union Army.
“Carry arms” is the period term. The musket was held upright in the right hand, perpendicular to the shoulder. It was the marching position, not a full “present arms.” In modern U.S. Army drill the equivalent position is called “shoulder arms.”
The full story of the mutual “honor answering honor” salute comes mainly from Chamberlain’s later writings, especially his book The Passing of the Armies.
His letter written the day after described only receiving them “with the honors due to troops, at a shoulder, in silence.”
No other contemporary accounts confirm the dramatic details.
Still, Chamberlain was there. He treated the surrendering Confederates as soldiers, not as defeated enemies. That much is solid.
