    Last week, House lawmakers heard from whistleblowers who said they have information about why the National Guard‘s response to the Capitol riot was severely delayed. The Committee on House Administration’s oversight panel conducted a hearing last Wednesday called “Three Years Later: D.C. National Guard Whistleblowers Speak Out on January 6 Delay.” The whistleblowers also were expected to provide details about then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy’s role in the response. It appears that he is the pivot man in this story and it's his ass that is being hung out to dry. Capt. Timothy Nick One of the whistleblowers, was Capt. Timothy...

The Utah National Guard will send five soldiers from its engineer battalion on Feb. 26 to help maintain military equipment at the border, and the Utah Highway Patrol will send one sergeant and four troopers from its Criminal Interdiction Team, which specializes in drug investigations. The law enforcement officers will be deployed for 30 days, and the soldiers for two weeks. "Open borders threaten our national security...

    A rookie female corrections officer in Tennessee has been arrested for allegedly having sex with an inmate at the men’s jail. Akira Jones, 20, a corrections deputy with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office in Memphis since May, was taken into custody Tuesday after a weeks-long internal investigation, officials said. Jones, who has been on leave since late December, faces a felony charge of sexual contact with prisoners. The deputy’s arrest stems from a complaint dated Dec. 20, which accused her of having sex with an inmate at the main county jail known colloquially as 201 Poplar. Although the sheriff’s office...

    On Friday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) stated that he has offered to let President Joe Biden use the Connecticut Guard to help secure the border, but Biden won’t use them. Co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin asked, “You may need housing for a different reason, immigration. You have people being bused up there — not in the same way that is being — that’s happening here — what do you think of the immigration problem in America, and do you think that blue states, which, for so long, thought this was a not in my backyard...

    A Rikers Island corrections officer who once claimed he was working more than 100 hours a week was hit with federal charges Wednesday for allegedly cheating the city out of more than $170,000 in bogus overtime. James Internicola, a 26-year veteran of the city Department of Corrections, was allegedly on vacation soaking up the sun in Aruba or on the Jersey Shore while claiming he was actually on duty at Rikers, according to a 13-page complaint filed in Brooklyn federal court. Between July 2021 and January 2023, the 56-year-old Rikers guard pocketed more than $390,000 in pay and overtime —...

    Polish border guards successfully repelled dozens of migrants as they attempted to violently break through from neighbouring Belarus in what may signal a return of the Lukashenko regime using illegals as a “hybrid warfare” vector against the West. On Sunday a group of around 60 mostly young male migrants, reportedly predominantly comprised of Iranian and Iraqi nationals, clashed with Polish border guards as they tried to push their way into the country from Belarus at the border region of Dubicz Cerkiewne. Footage posted by Poland’s Ministry of Defence showed migrants throwing stones and sticks at the border guards as they...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | Jul. 13, 2023 2:00 pm | Jim Hoft
    In a not a so-surprising revelation following a Secret Service briefing on Thursday, Republican Representative Lauren Boebert announced that cocaine discovered at the White House on July 2 was not the first incident of drugs found at Biden’s White House, citing two other instances within the last year. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Secret Service had announced the conclusion of its investigation into the recent cocaine discovery at the White House. Despite having narrowed down a list of 500 potential individuals, no suspects have been officially identified. Interestingly, the investigation has ended without administering drug tests to these individuals,...

    The security guard wounded in a shooting — that also injured two teens — outside a Brooklyn high school was trying to break up a fight when he was grazed by a bullet in the neck, police sources said Thursday. The 37-year-old private security guard — who is employed by Williamsburg Charter High School — told investigators that he was making his rounds during Wednesday afternoon dismissal when he spotted a large fight at the corner of Varet and White streets, the sources said. He stepped in — and even held back someone involved in the melee — when he...

    Government officials are calling for calm ahead of the planned nationwide protests over the Tyre Nichols bodycam footage, which will be released tonight, as the Georgia governor activated 1,000 National Guard troops and Capitol Hill amped up security. Many cities, including Memphis and New York City, are gearing up to protest after the gruesome footage, which has been described as worse than Rodney King, on the Memphis Police Department's YouTube page at 7pm. Police are releasing the footage later a night to allow people to get home beforehand. Nichols, 29, was brutally beaten like a 'human piñata' by five Memphis,...

    Soldiers are leaving the Army National Guard at a faster rate than they are enlisting, fueling concerns that in the coming years units around the country may not meet military requirements for overseas and other deployments. For individual states, which rely on their Guard members for a wide range of missions, it means some are falling short of their troop totals this year, while others may fare better. But the losses comes as many are facing an active hurricane season, fires in the West and continued demand for units overseas, including combat tours in Syria and training missions in Europe...

    A draft version of the infamous letter the National School Boards Association (NSBA) sent to President Biden likening angry parents to domestic terrorists even asked for the Army National Guard and the military police to be sent in to certain districts. 'We ask that the Army National Guard and its Military Police be deployed to certain school districts and related events where students and school personnel have been subjected to acts and threats of violence,' the draft letter, which was later amended, read, according to an independent review of the letter. The NSBA originally sent a letter to Biden in...
