A Georgia inmate serving a life sentence built two bombs in prison and mailed them to the DOJ headquarters in DC and a federal courthouse in Alaska, federal prosecutors said. According to a grand jury indictment, 55-year-old David Cassady reportedly put both bombs in the mail from prison in Tattnall County in January 2020. The charging documents however do not say how Cassady built the bombs or how he was able to mail them to his intended targets from prison.

CNN political commentator and pro-Russian Congressman Dana Rohrbacher aide Tara Setmayer has been a diehard Never Trump while supposed still claiming to be a conservative, Republican, or something along those lines. But like almost cable news Republicans, she’s lurched leftward. On her October 30 podcast, she hypocritical lectured listeners that “words matter” and “we have to be better” while bashing Fox News for being a network that “jerks the President off every single day” and is filled with “political masturbation.” She also suggested that anyone who supports the President or any of his policies might as well support murderous drug dealers. ...

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders lashed out at The Washington Post Sunday, criticizing the outlet for editorially tying President Donald Trump to the events of the past week. “Is there any tragedy the Washington Post won’t exploit to attack President @realDonaldTrump?” she tweeted.

The day after an anti-Semite killed 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and a week of political violence, NBC’s Sunday Today exploited the opportunity by trying to tie it all to President Trump. On top of that, the network suggested that the only hope to stop the violence was to send Trump a message at the ballot box by voting against him and the GOP. After reporting on the anti-Semitic hate crime in Pittsburgh, NBC shifted over to complaining about Trump for not bowing to the man’s hatred. “On Saturday, he continued with his midterm campaign commitments despite...

You know what? I *hate* being the point-man in saying this stuff. People will write me off as a nutcase. But, if you are going to be a pioneer, you have to be ready to take the arrows. In the last few days, we have been treated to the following events: A Florida man who sent caricatures of bombs to prominent leaders of the far left, and A man (or pair of men), one who has been identified as a #NeverTrump, rabidly Jew hater, who killed 8 at a Pittsburgh synagogue. Two violent events, only two weeks before a crucial...

The man arrested Friday on suspicion of mailing a dozen pipe bombs to President Trump's political enemies formerly worked as a male stripper, his former employer told the Washington Examiner. Event promoter Tony Valentine said he hired Cesar Sayoc in the 1990s to strip on multiple occasions in Ohio and that Sayoc traveled the country for similar appearances. "He really couldn't find his niche in life, and I guess he found it now," Valentine told the Washington Examiner. "Back in the '90s, he was running around from Minnesota to the Carolinas to Florida. He was like a gypsy."

Former FBI agents have warned against jumping to conclusions about why mail bombs were sent to President Trump's political enemies. While speculation about the reason the packages were mailed this week runs from an effort to murder the addressees to a "false flag" campaign to damage Republicans ahead of the midterm election, experienced investigators say it is is difficult to deduce much about the bombmaker or his or her motive based on available public details. Often, they caution, motives are not what they at first appear. “I wouldn't eliminate Republican leanings or Democratic leanings. The bottom line is, it is...

“I think the president of the United States should take responsibility for the kind of violence that we’re seeing for the first time in different ways,” the California Democrat told Blavity. “I think the president of the United States has been dog whistling to his constituency … and I think that they’re acting out, but they believe the president wants them to do and the way that he wants them to act.”

Will Chuck Todd be given a stern talking to by NBC for straying from the official liberal media line, which is that the pipe bombs were the work of a Republican/conservative? On Thursday's MTP Daily, Todd floated a novel theory: "I have this fear that it could be some Russian operation, too, designed to do what's happening now. More of this -- so in some ways we should not rule out -- it is dividing us." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill said Thursday that law enforcement officials are treating the suspicious packages containing possible explosives sent to high-profile Democrats this week as “live devices," not “hoax devices.” “This is something that should be taken seriously,” O’Neill told reporters at the press conference in New York. “We are treating them as live devices." “As far as a hoax device, we’re not treating it that way,” O’Neill added. His remarks came after some conservatives, including radio host Rush Limbaugh, suggested that the bombs could have been part of a hoax or false-flag operation. Officials said Thursday...

The investigation into suspicious packages sent to Democratic figures, prominent party supporters and CNN this week is focusing on Florida, law enforcement sources told The Post on Thursday. At least some of the 10 parcels, containing apparent pipe bombs, appear to have been sent from the Sunshine State, according to the Wall Street Journal. “It appears most of them if not all of them have gone through the mail,” an official told the paper. The parcels have been sent to former President Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Rep. Maxine Waters, former Attorney General Eric Holder, Democratic donor...

In the past 4 days, package pipe-bombs have been sent to 9 prominent Democrats, including Soros, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, John Brennan (via CNN), Maxine Waters, & Robert DeNiro. There are at least 5 reasons why the package bombs are false flags, most likely sent by Democrat(s).

Now the Democrats genuinely get to say “both sides”, with packages containing explosives sent to the Clintons, Eric Holder, George Soros and others conveniently two weeks before a possibly history-changing midterm election. The blame is already being put on those whom Hillary called “deplorables” and a package sent to CNN will be blamed on President Trump for those “CNN sucks” chants at Trump rallies. Somehow it is all too convenient, this “October surprise”. None of the named targets were really in danger, although others could have been hurt touching, picking up, or opening a package. The same could not be...

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox Thursday that President Trump “could not have been more presidential” in his response to the suspicious packages mailed to the Clintons, Obamas, and other prominent Democratic lawmakers who have been critical of the president.Sanders was responding to a tweet from former CIA director John Brennan telling Trump to “look in the mirror” over the bomb scares and accusing him of “inflammatory rhetoric, insults, lies, & encouragement of physical violence.” Stop blaming others. Look in the mirror. Your inflammatory rhetoric, insults, lies, & encouragement of physical violence are disgraceful. Clean up your...

Donald Trump Jr. vigorously defended his father on Thursday in a response to CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s attempts to pin some culpability for this week’s mail bomb scare on the White House. FBI agents are still examining mail bombs sent to former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, CNN and a host of other high-profile Democratic individuals this week, but the blame game regarding the motives of a still-unidentified suspect are in full swing. “Trump talked about the bombs sent to former public officials at his rally in Wisconsin,” Mr. Acosta tweeted Wednesday evening. “But once again...

This is the supposed 'bomb'.Observations: TWO wires? That's Road Runner Show material. Two wires doubles the chance of a screwup. A skilled operator would put ONE wire in ONE end, that wire consisting of two leads. And put each wire on OPPOSITE ENDS? What, are you planning to run current through the entire payload? How about you simply run the one wire to a detonator device? And look at the timer. It's HUGE. You could definitely get the same job done with a much smaller, much more efficient device... and even pack it into the pipe. This setup screams "Look...

A few observations from a former bomb disposal officer (i.e. Me): 1. Proper pipe bombs don't have wires connected to both ends. That's dumb. 2. You can find timers / remote control receivers WAY smaller than whatever that white box is. A proper timer would best be stored inside the pipe, making it fully encapsulated. That thing is just silly looking. 3. "Hoax Devices" are FAR more common than real ones. In which case, we should ask ourselves what the motives of the "bomber" are and "who benefits?" Go ahead. Think deeply and critically. 4. Bottom Line: Whoever made that...

The Associated Press deleted two tweets sent Wednesday morning reporting that "an explosive device had been found at Hillary and Bill Clinton's home," after the news organization concluded "the information was incorrect" and the device "was intercepted at a nearby facility." "We’ve deleted two tweets from earlier today saying that an explosive device had been found at Hillary and Bill Clinton’s home," the AP tweeted to its more than 13 million followers. "The source who provided the information was incorrect. In fact, the device was intercepted at a nearby facility." The Secret Service said Wednesday it discovered a potential explosive...

Between October 22 and 24, 2018, suspicious packages were received at multiple locations in the New York and Washington, D.C., areas and Florida. The packages are being sent for analysis at the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. “This investigation is of the highest priority for the FBI. We have committed the full strength of the FBI’s resources and, together with our partners on our Joint Terrorism Task Forces, we will continue to work to identify and arrest whoever is responsible for sending these packages,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “We ask anyone who may have information to contact the FBI....
