A brand new RINO slithers out of the shadows to take down Hegseth…
December 12, 2024 (15 hours ago)1/2
Right when the Deep State needs someone to go after Pete Hegseth, a new RINO slithers out of the shadows. Well, not that new. Senator Todd Young from Indiana has been hanging around since 2022, quietly doing the uniparty’s dirty work behind the scenes. But desperate times call for desperate measures, so Young has crawled out into the light, ready to pick up where Joni Ernst left off.
Joni was supposed to take down Pete, but when MAGA turned up the heat, she got cold feet. The Deep State was banking on her, and when she failed to accomplish the mission, they had to find another RINO to finish the job. Enter Todd Young—the establishment hack who’s proven he’s more “Democrat” than Republican. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing and the very textbook definition of a “Republican In Name Only.”
And now, like the good little uniparty soldier he is, Young won’t confirm his support for Hegseth. Another fly in the ointment—and this little buzzer is a doozy. Wait until you see what Todd Young’s been up to.
Gunther Eagleman:
🚨BREAKING: Senator Todd Young (@SenToddYoung) is REFUSING to confirm his support for Pete Hegseth’s nomination.
Todd stood with George Floyd, the corrupt Capitol Police, and pushed all Hoosiers to get the experimental jab.
Todd needs to be primaried.
After the meeting, Todd Young made it clear: he’s the new “Joni Ernst.”
Manu Raju:
After meeting for more than an hour with Pete Hegseth, I asked GOP Sen. Todd Young if he’s ready to support him.
“I haven’t decided yet, as I’ve shared with him and happy to share with others…We had a good meeting. It was an extensive conversation, and he answered the questions I asked,” he
Asked if they talked about misconduct allegations, Young said: “We had a very fulsome meeting. We covered everything on my mind, and I suspect the minds of most everyone that’s watching this.”
Now, everything Todd Young has done to support the Deep State is bubbling back up to the surface.
Francois Leclerc:
Let’s not forget:
Todd stood with George Floyd protests.
Praised the corrupt Capitol Police.
Pushed Hoosiers to take the experimental jab.
Now he’s silent when it comes to standing for strong, America-first leadership. What exactly are you standing for,
@SenToddYoung?
Hoosiers deserve better. Should Todd Young be primaried?
💬 Share your thoughts below!
🔁 Repost if you agree Todd’s time is up!
❤️ Like if you stand with Pete Hegseth!

And if all that wasn’t bad enough, another conservative influencer, known as Insurrection Barbie, did a quick deep dive on good ol’ Todd Young—and what she found will make your skin crawl. From refusing to support Trump in 2024 to declaring the 2020 election “perfect,” Mr. Young has proven he’s a loyal foot soldier in the uniparty army.

Insurrection Barbie:
• Did a 10 min deep dive:
– said the 2020 election was perfect and refused to voice an objection something Democrat senators have done in every election
– refused to support Trump for 2024
– blamed Trump for J6
– He was one of 10 GOP senators to visit with President Joe Biden to discuss a coronavirus relief package at the White House
– he refused to criticize Joe Biden’s mental acuity and chastised republicans who did so
– he worked on the “bipartisan”
infrastructure bill
• He was lucky he didn’t have a primary challenger in 2022.
• And McConnell is using him to do this since he’s not up for re-election in 2026.
But it’s not 2022, we won’t forget.
No, Barbie, we won’t forget. Times have changed, haven’t they? The days when RINOs like Todd Young could skate by with big donor money and ride the coattails of a Mitch McConnell type are long gone. Those days are over, and MAGA is in charge now, and this type of betrayal will no longer be tolerated.
As it stands now, Young is the last line of defense between us and them. He’s the one who could upend this entire thing.
Steve Ferguson:
Pete Hegseth isn’t home free yet. It seems Senator Todd Young doesn’t understand the meaning of the mandate we gave President Trump. He hasn’t got the message that he will face a well funded primary opponent if he votes no. The same goes for any other Senator.
So-called “Republicans” like Mr. Young are more dangerous to our America First agenda than any Democrat could ever be. We must purge them from the ranks, every last one. No matter how hard or messy the fight, we have to eliminate the cockroaches that slither and crawl through the halls, infesting our movement with their deceit and rot.
The light’s on, and it’s time to watch them scatter.

Exclusive: DOJ Finally Releases Suppressed IG Report on Jan 6: Here’s What They’re Still Covering Up
December 12, 2024 (19 hours ago)really long but interesting article1/3
Loyal and longtime readers may recall that we began our very first major report exploring federal involvement in the January 6 Fedsurrection with a striking exchange between Senator Amy Klobuchar and Christopher Wray, in which Klobuchar asks the FBI director if he had any informants in place prior to January 6th.
Christopher Wray is able to uncomfortably weasel his way out of answering the question directly, partially because Klobuchar does him the courtesy of not asking him the question directly. Klobuchar instead asks the FBI director if he wishes he had infiltrated the militia organizations allegedly involved in 1/6—assuming from the outset that there was in fact no infiltration, thereby providing the FBI director an easy way to avoid addressing the question one way or another.
Early this afternoon,the Department of Justice finally released its long-suppressed Inspector General report on January 6th. The substance of the report, as well as the timing, helps to shed light on FBI Director Christopher Wray’s seemingly abrupt and premature decision to resign(announced yesterday). Indeed, while the report must be understood in essence as a limited hangout cover-up job released under great reluctance, what it does reveal is damning enough for Christopher Wray, the FBI, and the malicious and discredited Fedsurrection narrative as a whole.
Let’s start with some of the highlights. First, the FBI IG report acknowledges the presence of multiple CHS’s (informants), some of whom were sent to DC for Jan 6 by the FBI, and some of whom went on their own accord and reported to their handlers in the FBI.
IG report (emphasis ours):
We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6. We reviewed the documented CHS reporting that the FBI had prior to the riot and breach of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. We determined that three CHSs had been tasked by FBI field offices in the days leading up to the January 6 Electoral Certification, with the required approval of the WFO, to travel to DC for the events of January 6 to report on domestic terrorism subjects who were possibly attending the event. Specifically: One FBI field office tasked a CHS to travel to DC to report on the activities of a predicated domestic terrorism subject who was separately planning to travel to DC for the January 6 Electoral Certification; a second FBI field office tasked a CHS to travel to DC to potentially report on two domestic terrorism (DT) subjects from another FBI field office who were planning to travel to DC for the events of January 6; and a third CHS, who had informed their handling agent that they intended to travel to DC on their own initiative for the events of January 6, was similarly tasked by their field office to potentially report on two DT subjects from other FBI field offices who were planning to travel to DC for the events of January 6. Our review 5 concluded that none of these three FBI CHSs were authorized to enter the Capitol or a restricted area, or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6.
In other words, we see that there were at least three informants who had been tasked directly with following specific targets and informing on their plans in relation to January 6th.In addition to these three informants who were asked to track specific people well in advance of January 6th, the FBI IG report acknowledges 23 additional informants who traveled to DC on January 6 and reported on the events to their respective FBI handlers:
In addition to these 3 CHSs, we found that 23 other FBI CHSs were in DC on January 6 in connection with the events planned for January 6. None of these FBI CHSs were authorized to enter the Capitol or a restricted area, or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6.
Revolver News has, of course, been reporting on the presence of informants for years, and it was over three years ago that even the New York Times confirmed our reporting by begrudgingly acknowledging the presence of Proud Boys informants who were passing on information to their handlers from inside of the Capitol.
https://revolver.news/2024/12/doj-finally-releases-suppressed-ig-report-on-jan-6-here-is-what-they-are-still-covering-up/
2/3
The DOJ IG report goes on to a more damning revelation: of the 26 CHS’s, 4 entered the Capitol building, and 13 entered the restricted area around the Capitol. We reported how, thanks to suspicious (unidentified and unindicted) individuals removing fencing early on January 6th, a booby trap was created whereby many rallygoers entered a restricted area without knowing it. This created a perfect storm for selective prosecution, and the government did charge many Trump supporters for merely being on restricted grounds. The DOJ used a trivial trespassing charge to ultimately bury Green Beret Jeremy Brown (whose real offense was exposing JTTF efforts to recruit him as an informant prior to January 6th).
Here’s the shocker: none of the 4 FBI CHS’ who entered the Capitol, and none of the 13 who entered the restricted area around the Capitol, were charged!
We determined that of the 26 CHSs who were in DC on January 6 in connection with the events of January 6, 4 entered the Capitol during the riot; an additional 13 entered the restricted area around the Capitol, which was a security perimeter established in preparation for the January 6 Electoral Certification; and 9 neither entered a restricted area nor entered the Capitol or otherwise engaged in illegal activity. None of the CHSs who entered the Capitol or a restricted area has been prosecuted to date. 4 The WFO did not know that a total of 26 CHSs would be in DC for the events of January 6 because only 4 field offices had informed the WFO or FBI Headquarters that CHSs under the relevant field office’s jurisdiction—5 CHSs in total—would be traveling to DC on January 6.
Given the extraordinarily aggressive DOJ posture toward January 6 offenses, there is simply no innocent explanation for the fact that not a single one of the FBI’s informants, including those who went into the Capitol, were criminally charged—and indeed this completely undercuts the IG report’s extenuating plea that none of its CHS’ were authorized to break the law or go into the Capitol.
Also, if we are permitted to say so, the fact that none of the FBI CHS’ were charged totally vindicates our original strategy of looking at charging documents and noting which egregious participants in the Jan 6 events were not charged. The mainstream media attacked us at Revolver News viciously for this and for simply daring to question any aspect of the official narrative.
The details get even more interesting and vindicating for Revolver News’ coverage of January 6th.As it turns out, multiple CHS informants were in close contact with the leadership of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys militia groups. One of these informants was none other than the vice president of that group.
IG report:
Among the information CHSs provided to their handling agents was the following:
• a CHS was in contact with leadership for the Oath Keepers
• “extremist members of [the] Oath Keepers or other groups may become involved in unplanned violent activity on January 6”
• the Oath Keepers “contingent headed to DC is 200+ strong;”
• the travel plans being discussed by the Proud Boys;
• an individual purporting to be the leader of a group that had “500 people willing to storm the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on January 6th”
• and a CHS indicated they had concerns for the safety of Members of Congress on January 6
The above information further confirms our general thesis that the federal government had deeply penetrated both the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and were deeply aware of their plans and movements. The FBI and other agencies were in a position to know, for instance, that the Proud Boys were going to be at the decisive breach point at around 1 PM—exactly where Ray Epps, Scaffold Commander, and others were engaging in their activity prior to the Proud Boys’ arrival.

==For all of the damning vindication of its admissions, the DOJ IG report is still more damning in terms of its omissions.
There is not a single word about the most damning smoking gun of all of January 6—the January 6 pipe bombs==. And this is despite absolutely scandalous revelations indicating near certainty of Capitol Police, ATF, and Secret Service involvement in the cover-up of the pipe bomb scandal. As we focus on the FBI here, it is incidentally important to keep in mind that we have definitively shown that the aforementioned agencies (Capitol Police, ATF, Secret Service) and probably many more are deeply involved in the Fedsurrection scandal. Most notably in relation to the FBI, we recently learned that the head of the Washington Field Office of the FBI lied about the Bureau’s inability to receive geofencing data that would have positively identified the pipe bomber. For that matter, we also learned that as early as mid-2022, the FBI had deleted all surveillance footage of the pipe bomb location on January 6th. None of these damning questions is so much as addressed at all in this report.
Our reporting completely changed the national conversation on January 6th. We were viciously punished for it—Congress even banned our email lists from reaching their servers. One FBI agent who sympathized with our reporting had his security clearance revoked for sharing one of our January 6 articles. The mainstream media and regime cracked down on our exposure of the Fedsurrection lie with a vigor that had rarely been seen even from the criminals in the Biden regime. The DOJ’s suppressed IG report is a start, but it is far from the end. Anything that does not assist us in finalizing our exposure of the pipe bomb scandal is fake and inadequate. The pipe bomb issue implicates the FBI, Secret Service, ATF, Capitol Police, and very possibly even Kamala Harris herself. It is the most dangerous issue, and therefore it is the most important issue. It is the issue that we have put our blood and sweat into at Revolver News, and we will not rest until the full and damning truth is out no matter how ugly.
When it comes to the truth about January 6, we cannot be cheap dates. Stay tuned. There are more reports to come out.

(What I don't get, all the way from the 2020 election, President Trump was still President, are you telling me that everyone in Trump's cabinet from Nov to Jan 20, 2021, none of them knew about the plans for J6? None of them, how many people in the government hated him so much it was openly planned and people were recruited?But if some were still honorable and they did know and didn't tell Trump, why not?This was a massive plan, there's no way McCarthy and many others in Congress didn't know.)
UnitedHealth Group CEO addresses Brian Thompson death, says health-care system is ‘flawed’DUHH!!!
Published Fri, Dec 13 20249:17 AM EST Annika Kim
Key Points
• UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty mourned the death of Brian Thompson, who led the company’s insurance arm, and acknowledged that the U.S. health-care system is “flawed” and in need of reform.
• In a New York Times opinion piece, Witty made his first public comments since last week’s fatal shooting of Thompson.
• Witty said the company, together with employers, governments and other payers, needs to improve how insurers explain what is covered and how those decisions are made.
UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty on Friday mourned the death of Brian Thompson, who led the company’s insurance arm, and acknowledged that the U.S. health-care system is “flawed” and in need of reform.
“We know the health system does not work as well as it should, and we understand people’s frustrations with it,” Witty wrote in a New York Times opinion piece.“No one would design a system like the one we have. And no one did. It’s a patchwork built over decades.”(Obama did it, they just don’t want to point the blame on the black jesus)
UnitedHealth Group’s “mission is to help make it work better,” he said.(as a broker, I don’t believe a word he says)
“We are willing to partner with anyone, as we always have—health care providers, employers, patients, pharmaceutical companies, governments and others—to find ways to deliver high-quality care and lower costs,” Witty added.
The New York Times piece marks Witty’s first public comments since last week’s fatal shooting of Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, the largest private insurer in the U.S. UnitedHealth Group is the nation’s biggest health-care conglomerate based on revenue. Its nearly $475 billion market cap has shrunk since Thompson’s death on Dec. 4.
Luigi Mangione, 26, is accused of fatally shooting Thompson outside the Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan as the CEO headed to UnitedHealth Group’s investor day. Investigators have said Mangione was a critic of the health-care industry, a widely held view among Americans.
The killing has unleashed a wave of pent-up resentment and anger toward the insurance industry, which has become a popular villain blamed for spiraling health-care costs and difficulties accessing care. From denied claims, rising premiums and unexpected bills, to an overall lack of transparency, patients have flooded social media with stories about their own negative experiences with insurance.
Still, the killing comes after a challenging year for the insurers, which are under pressure to shore up profits. This year in particular, companies grappled with higher medical costs due to seniors opting for surgeries they had delayed during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Witty acknowledged UnitedHealth Group’s role in the health-care challenges in the U.S. “Health care is both intensely personal and very complicated, and the reasons behind coverage decisions are not well understood,” Witty said, noting, “We share some of the responsibility for that.”'
He did not provide specifics around what exactly could be done to reform the industry. But Witty said the company, together with employers, governments and other payers, needs to improve how insurers explain what is covered and how those decisions are made.
He also noted that behind certain claims decisions “lies a comprehensive and continually updated body of clinical evidence focused on achieving the best health outcomes and ensuring patient safety.”
Witty said Thompson had done his best to help patients navigate the health-care system.

Nancy Pelosi hospitalized during congressional visit to Luxembourg
Her spokesperson said she is continuing to work while she receives treatment for an unspecified injury.
Dec. 13, 2024, 11:38 AM EST
By Alexandra Marquez and Kyle Stewart
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was injured and admitted to a hospital in Luxembourg while on a congressional delegation trip to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, a Pelosi spokesperson said.
"Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals," Ian Krager, a spokesperson for Pelosi's congressional office wrote in a statement to reporters on Friday.
Krager said that Pelosi, 84, is continuing to work from the hospital and "regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembersduring one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation’s history.”
“Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War II and their role in bringing peace to Europe,” he wrote.
It was not immediately clear what kind of injury the former speaker sustained or how long she would need to be treated in the hospital.
In the statement to reporters, Krager only wrote that Pelosi “looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon.”
Pelosi was traveling for events on Friday and Saturday alongside at least 17 other members of the House, according to a press release from Speaker Mike Johnson's office.
Other members traveling with Pelosi included Reps. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, Gary Palmer, R-Ala., Mike Bost, R-Ill., and Mark Takano, D-Calif.
In a statement ahead of their trip, Johnson, R-La., said, "It is my honor to host this Congressional delegation to the site of the Battle of the Bulge and join the world in celebrating the heroic contributions of the young men who fought and died on the battlefield and ultimately changed the course of human history.”
In 2019, when Pelosi was speaker, she hosted a similar trip for the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
The former speaker is one of the oldest members of the House and won re-election to her seat just weeks ago. She has not said whethershe plans to run for another term in 2026, but her campaign has filed paperwork to remain active through the next election cycle==.
Fifteen years after being elected the first female speaker, Pelosi announced in 2022 that she was officially stepping down from House Democratic leadership.
Her decision kicked off a wave of generational change among the leadership of her party in Congress.
She was first elected to Congress in 1987 and has since emerged as a major power broker in the Democratic party.
Pelosi's injury comes days after outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sustained injuries in Washington D.C. Tuesday after a fall.
McConnell, 82, tripped during a lunch with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill and “sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist,” a spokesperson for his office said.

Only known living portrait of last Byzantine emperor discovered
12.12.2024 • 17:55
Conservation work inside amonastery near the town of Aigio in the Peloponnese has revealed a mural of Constantine XI Palaiologos (1405-1453)that an expert says is the only known living portrait of the last Byzantine emperor.
The find was made in the catholicon of theOld Monastery of Taxiarches in Aigialeia, some 15 kilometers south of Aigio, where there are two layers of mural paintings of high artistic qualityfrom the late Byzantine period, a statement from the Culture Ministry said.
Constantine reigned from 1449 until his death in battle at the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans in 1453.
Archaeologist Anastasia Koumousi, director of the Achaia Ephorate of Antiquities, identified the image on the inside mural as that of the last Byzantine emperor and dated it to the mid-15th century.
“In this case, the portrait is linked to the last Byzantine emperor and involves his only living portrait. The painter must have rendered the portrait features … from his own perception, meaning that his model was not an official imperial portrait, as was customary, but the emperor himself,” the statement quoted Culture Minister Lida Mendoni as saying.
The statement added the mural depicts the figure of a mature man wearing imperial insignia and holding a cruciform scepter. “His gold-embroidered purple cloak is decorated with medals, on which are inscribed double-headed eagles with a crown between their heads, a distinctive feature of the members of the Palaiologos family.
The presence of the double-headed eagles on the figure’s clothing, in combination with the other insignia, constituted an illustrated messagethat allowed the viewer to unequivocally identify the man with the emperor.”
The ministry said that Constantine’s connection with the monastery was through his brothers Demetrios and Thomas, who, as the despots of the Morea, had financed its renovation.
The painter of the mural, the statement continued, would have known Constantine from his own time as despot in the region.
A despot was the holder of a senior Byzantine court title that was bestowed on the sons or sons-in-law of reigning emperors, and initially denoted the heir-apparent of the Byzantine emperor. In modern usage, the word has taken a negative meaning.
