The U.S. and its allies at the G-7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, have agreed to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets. NBC News’ Raf Sanchez has the details.

It's already well-established that the FBI targeted parents attending school board meetings in recent years.

They were attending meetings often to protest the extremist ideologies being adopted, those promoting the LGBT lifestyle choices, promoting communism through various racist ideologies and more.

Now a report confirms that FBI agents were tasked with writing down license plate numbers of those attending, in order to spy on them and document their actions.

It is a report at Trending Politics News that revealed FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend told members of the House Judiciary Select Committee on the weaponization of the federal government that he was among the agents being given those orders.

Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC) run by Kari Lake-hating operative Stephen Richer kept a GOP heat map on its wall before the 2022 election.

The dark red areas of Republican voters just happened to include the voting centers where the tabulators and printers were not working on Election Day.

59 were in solid red districts
2 were in lean red districts
4 were in lean blue districts

Runbeck Election Services has refused to comply with a lawful Public Records Request for “exterior video of all loading dock locations which clearly shows any items) being delivered and/or picked up” and “interior video of all loading dock locations/warehouse space which clearly shows any items) being delivered and/or picked up” after Election Day.

This video could shed light on a central question from Kari Lake’s lawsuit of why there are over 35,000 ballots unaccounted for. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Maricopa County still refuses to answer this question, as well as other questions about the missing ballot chain of custody documentation. According to a recent filing from Lake’s attorneys, Maricopa County Delivery Receipt forms “on Election Day, should have been (but were not) completed at MCTEC with the precise number of EDDB ballots sent to Runbeck.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Thursday that the Senate will move forward with its planned May recess, ending days of speculation amid unfinished negotiations between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and President Joe Biden to avert a debt default.

Schumer's announcement comes as senators were vocally uncertain if the debt ceiling dispute would prevent them from returning home for a planned recess. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the U.S. will be unable to pay its bills by June 1, while the Senate recess ends May 30. Two days would be nowhere near enough time for the chamber to vote on a negotiated deal, especially given the Senate's current 51-49 split, allowing every member the opportunity to act as a protest vote.

 President Joe Biden, the man who claimed during his 2020 campaign that he would “unite” our country, once again fanned the flames of racial and political division during a highly inflammatory speech at Howard University in Washington, D.C. over the weekend, during which he falsely claimed that “white supremacy” is “the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland.”

  The reason why the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the world is because of “a serious biosafety incident” that occurred in China. This is the claim of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican, who compiled a report about it that was just released publicly.

 Scientists from The University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada have developed a new water filtration technology that is capable of permanently removing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, from drinking water.

 When Donald Trump was in office, virtue-signaling Democrats like Eric Adams whined about his strict immigration policies and proudly proclaimed that migrants — legal and illegal — were welcome in their cities.

During Thursday’s hearing by the House Judiciary Select Committee on the weaponization of the federal government, FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend testified that he was ordered to write down the license plate numbers of parents who attended school board meetings.

Friend — a 12-year veteran of the bureau — was suspended after he refused to take part in a SWAT-style raid on a January 6 suspect who was facing misdemeanor charges last summer. “I have an oath to uphold the Constitution,” Mr. Friend, a 12-year veteran of the bureau, told his supervisors when he declined to participate in the raid on August 24, 2022. “I have a moral objection and want to be considered a conscientious objector.”

 Multinational automobile manufacturer Stellantis has issued a recall on nearly 220,000 Jeep Cherokee SUV models that are reportedly catching fire spontaneously, even when their engines are off.

 The corporate media would have us all believe that every person who decides to become “transgender” lives happily ever after with no more mental health problems – but nothing could be further from the truth.

 Ever since the dawn of the internet, humanity has been in the throes of the so-called “information age,” where anything a person wants to know is available right at his fingertips. And with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), the information age is now transitioning into the AI age.

 The current economic and political climate is enough to make anyone feel down, but for many Americans, the problem is far more serious as a new poll shows an increasing number of Americans are being officially diagnosed with clinical depression.

COINTELPRO (Counterintelligence Program) was an FBI project designed to target and disrupt progressive organizations using a wide variety of often illegal methods, up to and including assassination. A 1976 Congressional investigation left no doubt that Martin Luther King, Jr. was severely threatened and harassed and that Black Panther Fred Hampton was assassinated by a group of FBI agents under the auspices of COINTELPRO. How many others were secretly assassinated, we may never know.

The revealing essay below delves into the manipulative strategies, secret intrigues, and calculated assassinations carried out by FBI operatives with impunity for years under COINTELPRO. Though this program was condemned and disbanded after its countless flagrant violations of the law were exposed, how many of these activities continue unabated even now under different names in the FBI, CIA, and other intelligence agencies?

This essay is taken from the incredibly profound online book Lifting the Veil, which uses highly reliable sources to reveal countless political and economic manipulations carried out in secret worldwide by powerful, well-hidden groups for decades. By educating ourselves and shining light into these shadows, we can create powerful change that will transform our lives and world for the better. Thanks for caring.

While it’s bad enough the debunked dossier the FBI used to spy on the Trump campaign was paid for by the Clinton campaign and authored by a foreign FBI informant and his carousing researcher, the newly released report of Special Counsel John Durham strongly suggests a top Justice Department official and his wife had an early hand in shaping the political rumor sheet.

According to the 306-page report, former Justice Department prosecutor Bruce Ohr’s wife Nellie Ohr first plowed the ground for the dossier with a series of research reports she wrote for Fusion GPS, the D.C.-based opposition research firm the Clinton campaign commissioned to dig up dirt on Trump and Russia. 

Obtained by Durham, her reports zeroed in on Sergei Millian and his connections to Russia and Trump, falsely portraying him as a key intermediary between the Kremlin and the Republican candidate. They would later provide the foundation for the dossier’s many fictions. 

 Chinese state media are touting the China-Central Asia Summit, held on Thursday and Friday in the historic northwestern Chinese city of Xi’an, as a counter to the Group of Seven (G7) gathering of democracies in Japan this weekend, and a sharp contrast between China offering stability and financial support to its clients while U.S. President Joe Biden abandons America’s allies in the Pacific.

 On Thursday, MSNBC host Chris Hayes said on his show “All In” that he believed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was infringing on the freedoms of families with a Florida law banning sex change therapy for minors.

 Rep. Garret Graves (R-LA), who has been leading debt ceiling talks, said on Friday that Republicans would “pause” talks with the Biden White House on debt ceiling negotiations.

 A New York City healthcare worker* is still being smeared by the corporate media as a racist “Karen” over an incident involving a bike rental and a black teen.

 Democrats called into question the credibility of Republican witnesses during a contentious congressional hearing Thursday aimed at examining allegations of wrongdoing within the FBI.

Russia has implemented a travel restriction by banning the entry of 500 US nationals, including former President Barack Obama. AFP News Agency reported the news Friday afternoon on Twitter.

Conflicting interests and differing political ideologies have contributed to an increasingly challenging environment between the US and Russia. The ban on Obama’s entry into Russia can be interpreted as a symbolic action, reflecting Russia’s disapproval of certain policies pursued during his presidency, as well as Biden’s.

An upstate printer has once again screwed up downstate election materials, this time by mailing registration cards to Nassau County’s nearly 1 million voters — identifying them all as Democrats.

“It’s a terrible error. People are upset. People are angry. There is a lot of confusion,” GOP County Executive Bruce Blakeman seethed at a Tuesday press conference.

Democrats make up about 40 percent of the county’s 972,000 voters, according to state Board of Election records from February.

On Thursday, the Pentagon revealed that a multi-billion dollar accounting error had been discovered in records pertaining to the United States' shipments of weapons to Ukraine.

As a result, that money is still available for the Defense Department to use to send more weapons to the war-torn nation, and since the amount was technically already given the green light by Congress, no additional approval from lawmakers is necessary.
