A Christian veteran tore down a Satanic shrine and beheaded a pagan Baphomet as part of a display that was set up in the Iowa Capitol building.
The Sentinel outlet reported that Michael Cassidy destroyed and beheaded the Baphomet figure, which had been erected within the structure with authorization from the Satanic Temple of Iowa.
The display included a mirrored, caped figure of Baphomet with a pentagram in the middle and a black and red “holiday wreath” around it.
After destroying the display, Cassidy then reportedly threw the baphomet’s head in the garbage.

The Biden administration’s policies can be summed up as “America Last.” Watch this short video in which a 95-year-old veteran of the Korean War speaks to reporters about having been booted from his nursing home on short notice in order to make way for the people Democrats always prioritize over citizens and veterans: illegal aliens.

The Veterans Affairs scandals that disgraced the Obama administration never went away. Instead, the VA has stonewalled groups like Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) who have been seeking information about wait times for veterans. It’s not that the VA doesn’t have the money to treat vets, but that the money continues to be wasted on radical woke agendas.
After a prolonged battle, Concerned Veterans for America uncovered documents showing that the VA has manipulated wait time numbers to misleadingly portray appointments a month and a half away as having a zero wait time. This is a continuation of the waiting lists scandal under the Obama administration a decade ago that we were told had been successfully resolved.
The Trump administration and a Republican Congress passed the VA Mission Act to allow veterans more access to health care outside the system, but the VA obstructed veterans from getting ‘community care’. Veterans who couldn’t get timely health care were warned against going outside the system and subjected to extra layers of obstruction by the VA bureaucracy.
The VA violated the VA Mission Act and its action likely led to illness and possibly deaths.
A USA Today investigation revealed that “VA administrators are overruling doctors’ judgments and preventing them from sending their patients outside the VA health care system.”
The VA’s goal is to keep veterans from leaving the system to save money.
While the VA can’t seem to care for veterans, it is busy offering transgender procedures that include hormones, pre-op evaluation, and post-op care. The VA handles everything from using the right pronouns to storing sperm and eggs, and even hair removal and fake breasts.
Veterans with cancer are not being treated in a timely manner, but those whose mental problems lead them to think that they’re really women are getting fast-tracked to castration.
Chris Beck, a former Navy SEAL who was turned into the poster boy for transgenderism, described being fast-tracked after an hour-long meeting at the VA.
Even while the VA was fighting efforts to track accurate wait times, VA Secretary Denis McDonough announced that he planned to offer castration and other gender mutilation surgeries. McDonough is not a doctor and had not served in the military, he was an Obama aide, part of the administration that was responsible for the original VA wait-time scandal.
As a reward, Biden appointed him to head the VA. “Be they veterans of color or LGBTQ+ veterans, our job is to get them all the service and the care that they’ve earned,” McDonough explained his priorities. What about veterans who aren’t members of a minority group? They don’t matter.
McDonough estimated that transgender surgeries might cost as much as $71 million. And he was eager to move forward even at a time when the VA was back to playing musical chairs with medical appointments and putting veterans through hell to save a few thousand here and there.
Within the active duty military health care system known as ‘Tricare’, personnel are being hit with 10% fee increases even as Tricare now covers hormones and offers waivers for “medically necessary gender affirming surgery”. There have been over 250 transgender surgical procedures which have cost millions of dollars and deprived genuinely sick people of care.
It’s not just active duty military personnel at risk of dangerous, unproven, and permanently damaging procedures and medications, but also their family members.
In the final year of the Obama administration, the doors were thrown open to “gender-affirming care” for vulnerable children and teens from military families resulting in a quadrupling of the number of patients: many of them teenage girls who are at the worst risk of being mutilated.
There were 500 children as young as 10 years old who were potentially subjected to indoctrination leading them to dangerous hormones and procedures that could destroy their lives.
Rather than fighting our enemies and healing our troops, the military health care system for both active duty personnel and veterans had been warped into serving woke sexual identity politics.
The Department of Defense even dedicated $1.1 million to studying prostate cancer in transgender ‘women’.
The DOD’s promotion of transgender indoctrination is particularly destructive during a time when active duty personnel and veterans are suffering record rates of suicide and mental illness. Pushing them toward an identity and its associated procedures that have been shown to increase, rather than decrease, symptoms of mental illness and suicide rates is unforgivable.
The Biden administration has made identity politics into its north star and disloyal military brass have put that agenda ahead of warfighting capabilities, military readiness, and the welfare of the troops. While there’s no money to provide cancer treatments for veterans at the VA, there’s plenty of money for hormones, fake breasts, and transgender counseling sessions.
Veterans may have to wait months for an appointment to treat urgent medical problems, but appointments for transgender counseling are fast-tracked as medically necessary. Active duty personnel are being hit with more Tricare fee hikes at a time when military salaries are not keeping up with the inflationary cost of living, but someone has to pay for the hormones.
Biden and his disloyal military brass have betrayed the country at every opportunity. They have lost wars, empowered enemies, and undermined America. They have taken the military hostage to promote abortion and they are killing active duty personnel and veterans through their obsession with transgender identity politics.
Our veterans and active-duty military personnel deserve the best. Instead, they and their families are being treated like guinea pigs for a social experiment being performed on the country.
Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus filed lawsuits against NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the owners of Crossroads Hotel and Ramada by Wyndham in regards to the influx of migrants in Newburg. StevenMNeuhaus/Facebook
(NewsNation) — More than two dozen U.S. military veterans were kicked to the curb this weekend by hotels in suburban New York City, completely uprooting their lives.
This comes after a busload of 60 migrants were sent to the town of Newburgh by the request of Mayor Eric Adams. The Crossroads Hotel in Newburgh is just one of multiple hotels reportedly booting homeless veterans out to accommodate incoming migrants.
It’s reported these hotels make close to $190 a night housing migrants compared to nearly $90 a night housing veterans.

NEWBURGH- Veterans housed in area hotels including in the Crossroads in the Town of Newburgh were removed from their temporary housing to make room for migrants coming from New York City, according to Sharon Toney-Finch of the YIT Foundation, a local not-for-profit that assists the homeless and low-income military service veterans in need of living assistance.
“Over the last week, many of our homeless veterans that YIT provides services for were informed that they had to leave their temporary housing,” said Sharon Toney-Finch of YIT. “Our veterans were housed in several hotels that were preparing to receive migrants from New York City. Thankfully, my team and I were able to scramble and find new temporary housing for these veterans.”
According to Toney-Finch, disruptions such as these can negatively impact a veteran’s reintegration back into society. “Whether you agree or disagree with migrants being housed in the Hudson Valley, I believe all of us can agree that this issue should not negatively impact our homeless veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country,” said Toney-Finch.
Elected officials were quick to respond to this news. Assemblyman Brian Maher (R- Walden) announced that he is introducing legislation to prohibit the displacement of homeless veterans once placed in housing so long as they continue to meet any necessary criteria. “I am introducing a bill that would prohibit the displacement of homeless veterans from shelters or supportive housing,” said Maher. “Never in my life did I think we’d need to outline something as fundamental as protecting the housing needs of our homeless veterans, but here we are. Our veterans matter – their service, lives, safety, well-being, and dignity matter.”
Congressman Pat Ryan (D- NY18) took to social media, stating, “This is bullshit. 20 veterans lost their housing tonight because of incompetence by New York City government. I am doing everything I can to ensure these service members have a bed to sleep in tonight. Let me be clear. This will not be tolerated.”
Congressman Marc Molinaro (R- NY19) stated, “This is absolutely inexcusable and should not be happening in America. This is the result of incompetence and a lack of compassion. This won’t be tolerated.”
Three separate lawsuits were filed on Friday by the Town of Newburgh and Orange County seeking a court to intervene and prevent New York City from sending migrants to the area.

If you’re a veteran of the United States Armed Forces and now you’ve become convinced that you’re really a woman, you’re in luck: Old Joe Biden and his henchmen are going to start devoting taxpayer money to aiding and abetting your delusions, and fantasies: the White House budget proposal for 2024 includes taxpayer funding for genital mutilation surgeries and hormones for veterans.
The Daily Caller reported Thursday that “the White House’s annual budget proposal for 2024 would fund sex-change surgeries and hormones for veterans.” No one could possibly find this surprising; the Biden regime is nothing if not consistent. It is indefatigably committed to the baseless and dangerous — indeed, life-destroying — dogma that women can become men and men can become champion female swimmers and International Women of Courage, and now it has determined that we must pay for these fantasies.
The groundwork for this new budget proposal was laid in June 2021, when the Department of Veterans Affairs lifted a 20-year ban on what Rolling Stone called “gender confirmation surgeries for trans people,” and what the budget itself refers to as “gender-affirming care.” These bland euphemisms are designed to hide the fact that what is really being discussed here is physical butchery, making people dependent upon pharmaceuticals for their entire lifetime, and destroying their possibility of having normal relationships and families.
Leftists push these evils upon the American people by posturing about how good they are. Back in 2021 when the Veterans Affairs Department lifted the ban on these mutilation surgeries, VA Secretary Denis McDonough announced happily that the department would now be “allowing transgender vets to go through the full gender confirmation process with VA by their side.” He had the sinister audacity or jaw-dropping ignorance to add, “We’re making these changes not only because they are the right thing to do, but because they can save lives.”
Save lives. Yeah, sure, that’s a great way to refer to what future generations will regard as a crime against humanity. The budget adds another pleasing euphemism when it says that it is doing all this in order to “advance equity across veterans’ services.” Terrific, but the downside of all this is already becoming apparent. The Daily Caller noted that “former Navy Seal Chris Beck announced in a Dec. 1 interview that he was transitioning back to being a man, after nearly a decade of living as a woman and advocating for trans people in the military.” Beck is, of course, just one of many.
Was Beck consulted when the new budget requiring Americans to pay for the genital mutilation of psychologically disturbed veterans was formulated? Was anyone, anyone at all, who was involved in putting the 2024 budget together apprised of the extent of the butchery involved in “gender-affirming” surgeries and the physical and psychological harm that can ensue? (For evidence, see here and here, but be forewarned: these images and accounts are not for the fainthearted or weak of stomach.)

There is a great deal that is monstrous about the Biden regime, not least its ongoing attempts to destroy the freedom of speech (remember the “Disinformation Governance Board,” and make no mistake, such initiatives continue) and criminalize dissent (as we see with the ongoing Jan. 6 “insurrection” hoax). If the Left succeeds in attaining its authoritarian goals, the human cost will be catastrophic, but that cost is apparent right now in the regime’s commitment to “gender-affirming care.” The recipients of this “care” will find their gratitude turning to resentment, horror, and rage as they have to live with what was done to them when no less an authority than the United States government was touting their mutilation as physically and psychologically affirming.
As the elites usually do, Biden and his henchmen will escape the horrific consequences of their actions and will likely die laden with awards and honors for their services to humanity. The only people who will have to pay the price are those who will be the recipients of their taxpayer-funded largesse. There can be no doubt that future generations will look upon today’s society’s approval and, indeed, the celebration of all this with unmitigated horror, but those days are still a ways off. Right now, we have to sign the checks for the destruction of our fellow human beings who have fallen prey to this delusion.
"Bell allegedly asked the man in one message if he was ready to fight “on the front line,” adding that he was “no longer a young child," according to the complaint. “It will be frightening. But I am with you,” she allegedly wrote.
Bell also had tickets to travel to Turkey through Egypt on the same day of her arrest, according to a criminal complaint."
"The former soldier was denied boarding before her flight from New York City to Istanbul.
Just days before she was denied boarding, Bell and the man had a quarrel when he refused to let her meet his family, according to a government transcript of their online communication.
“This trip is exhausting enough," Bell wrote. "I love you very much but it is hard for me to accept how you direct my life. I am an independent woman in America.
“If I was not the woman I am, I wouldn't be able to support you.”"

This lady was seriously in love. In her New Jersey home, the feds claim to have found “136 operable handguns and rifles, 15 canisters of ammo, and a short-range rocket launcher.”
“NJ Army Vet Who Supported Syrian Terrorist Lover Gets 3 Plea-Bargained Years In Federal Prison,” by Jerry DeMarco, Franklin Daily Voice, January 24, 2023:
A U.S. Army veteran from Sussex County must spend more than three years in federal prison for deliberately concealing money and guidance she gave to a Syrian terrorist she’d fallen in love with.
Because there’s no parole in the federal prison system, Maria Bell, 55, must serve out just about all of the plea-bargained 36-month sentence approved by a federal judge in Newark on Tuesday, Jan. 24,
Bell, of Hopatcong, offered not only money and military intelligence but the benefit of her experience in specialized weapons training to Syria-based factions fighting the Assad regime, a complaint on file in U.S. District Court says.
Bell, who was also a member of the U.S. National Guard, wired at least 18 payments totaling around $3,150 via Western Union to a self-identified member of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an alias for the al-Nusra Front (ANF), the complaint says….
Although the complaint doesn’t name him, Stars and Stripes identified Bell’s lover as Abdullah Flayes.
HTS reportedly is led by Mohammad al-Jolani, the founder of al-Nusra Front, which has which has been described as the “most aggressive and successful” jihadist organization looking to establish an Islamic state in Syria. The group includes many al-Qaeda militants while claiming to be independent of al-Qaeda, federal authorities say.
According to the complaint, Bell advised her lover to make sure the terrorist group’s leaders kept American journalists from interviewing their fighters.
He at one point told her the group would attack New York City if the U.S. government tried to help the Syrian regime, it says.
Bell, in their discussions, referred tp 9/11 as “the big attack in New York,” the complaint filed in Newark says. She called it “sad,” then followed by saying that Americans “have little idea of consequences.”
Bell urged her lover to fight “on the front line” while also reassuring him that “I am with you,” the complaint says….
FBI agents arrested her at her home in late November 2020. According to the complaint, Bell was carrying travel tickets to Turkey through Egypt for that same day.
Agents search the two-bedroom home that was left to Bell by her late husband. They reported finding 136 operable handguns and rifles, 15 canisters of ammo and a short-range rocket launcher.
There is a lot of evidence of "intelligence design" behind the growing epidemic of suicide among U.S. military veterans, says Veterans for America First founder Joshua Macias in this interview with The New American magazine's Alex Newman. He believes vets are being targeted by the establishment because they love America and know how to fight. But it is possible to deal with this crisis if there is a will, he said. That begins with ensuring that veterans are producing fruit by making sure that they have deep roots in the community. 🇺🇸 The New American: http://www.thenewamerican.com/

(Natural News) New York City, also known as abortion and infanticide central, is setting up special Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine” sites all across the city to start mass injecting young children as part of the government’s ongoing plandemic depopulation ritual.
These special “pop-up” sites are specifically geared for children aged 5-11 who are now eligible under Pedo Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” (6uild 6ack 6etter) scheme to take “Operation Warp Speed” injections from Pfizer, which were introduced by the previous administration.
According to reports, more than 1,000 sites are now being set up for this purpose, many of them at schools. “Medical professionals,” the mainstream media claims, will be on-site at all of them to “safely” and “effectively” administer the shots.
“Overall, I guess I just have a little jump in my step,” rattled a student named Sylvan Booudo to the local fake news media. Booudo was one of the first children in line to receive the jab.
“I’m now just able to do way more things.”
CBS New York‘s Lisa Rozner tweeted a video of masked parents and their children lined up down the street in eager anticipation of getting their little ones injected at warp speed (see below):
“Outside PS 40 in Manhattan where parents have been waiting in line, holding a spot for their kids to get vaccinated, since around 7am,” Rozner wrote.
For a city that is so eager to murder babies both in the womb (abortion) and out (infanticide), it is strange that the city is suddenly so worried about saving children’s lives that it is investing who-even-knows how many millions of dollars to “flatten the curve” with this mass injection scheme.
Unborn and recently born children have no value whatsoever in New York City – that is until they are old enough to get injected. At that point, New York politicians suddenly want to save them from “covid” through forced jabbing at a local pop-up tent.
It is a conflicting and illogical policy, but some people are apparently falling for it. The very eugenicists who get a thrill out of mass-murdering babies now expect us all to believe that they want to “save lives” by injecting children with mystery chemicals at warp speed.
Could it be that the jabs are just infanticide in disguise, except for older children? Since five-year-olds are too old to be legally aborted, perhaps the injections are a barely subtle way of ending these older children’s lives incognito in order to avoid raising suspicion.
“How long is it? One month until they jab their little kids with the second shot?” asked one commenter at Citizen Free Press. “They get to learn the truth just before Christmas. I wonder what they will do with the presents with no little ones around Christmas morning.”
“Maybe the Yule log can be used on the witches mandating or encouraging these jabs on the little children.”
“The criminals in government and the vaccine industry will probably be giving the vast majority if not all of those kids a saline solution alone, to use New York as a fake example for the rest of the nation, to try to justify force-injecting children everywhere else,” speculated another.
“Pediatricians in my opinion may as well be called baby-killers and pedophiles,” another wrote, expressing what many others out there also believe.

(Natural News) A Vietnam War veteran is dead after a Texas hospital refused, in flagrant defiance of a court order, to give him ivermectin for a Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) infection.
On August 19, Pete Lopez, 74, was put on a ventilator by medical staff at Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital near Houston after testing positive for Chinese Germs. Lopez might have lived had he been given ivermectin in accordance with his wishes but was instead murdered by workers at the hospital who refused.
Because of their Ivermectin Derangement Syndrome (IDS), hospital staff at Memorial Hermann decided that they would basically just pull the plug on Lopez because that is what Tony Fauci and the medical establishment have decided is the only way to “flatten the curve.”
The American Medical Association (AMA) decided that even though ivermectin has been FDA-approved for humans since 1996, it is now just a “horse de-wormer” that should not and cannot be administered to sick and dying people, even if it could save their lives.
Texas medical workers, desperately wanting to be medically “woke,” in turn decided to just go along with the AMA’s advice and deprive Lopez of something that very well could have saved his life.
“[Memorial Hermann] took away from my grandfather and us, his family, the opportunity to know whether or not that drug would have worked for him,” mourned Gabrielle Snider, Lopez’s granddaughter.
A similar situation occurred in Ohio after a man named Jeffery Smith was admitted to a local hospital and was refused ivermectin treatment. Smith’s family sued the West Chester Hospital and won, only to have Common Pleas Judge Michael Oster try to overrule the decision.
“Public policy should not and does not support allowing a physician to try ‘any’ type of treatment on human beings,” Oster decreed, falsely suggesting that ivermectin is only for “livestock” and not humans.
It is like banging one’s head against the wall trying to set the record straight that ivermectin is fully FDA-approved for humans. The prevailing narrative right now is that it is a dangerous “horse paste” that is not for human intake, which is patently false.
Whether or not ivermectin works for treating the Fauci Flu in humans is beside the point. The fact of the matter is that it is FDA-approved for humans and just like all other drugs, it can and should be administered for off-label use when a patient or doctor chooses it for such.
Since when did government bureaucrats gain total control over what types of medicines are allowed to be administered to sick and dying patients? Did Judge Oster suddenly become a licensed doctor? If not, why is he now practicing medicine from the bench without a proper license?
The good news in Smith’s case is that he technically won the case and did receive ivermectin, which worked so well that the hospital decided that he can soon be taken off the ventilator and sent home.
“Julie has won this case; I don’t care what this judge says,” said one of the Smith family’s lawyers, Ralph Lorigo. “We are believers he’s going to survive because of ivermectin.”
On Friday, the Texas Medical Board and the Texas State Board of Pharmacy together issued a joint statement supporting the right of all physicians to prescribe drugs like ivermectin for off-label use, which has been common practice for decades.
Both boards clearly indicated that they “do not endorse or prohibit any particular prescribed drugs or treatment for COVID-19 that meet the standard of care.”

A brutal month of haphazard policies and broken promises from the Biden administration continued as a new week opened.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), who lost his eye in Afghanistan and has quickly become one of the most reputable foreign policy minds in Congress, explained how Biden and his acolytes pretend we aren’t at war.
“We ended no wars. We did not lose a war,” Crenshaw said. “We gave up a strategic position in that fight. It will now be extremely difficult to deter or deny terrorist safe-havens.”
Crenshaw explained that because of our surrender, the United States lacks nearby airfields, resources, eyes, and ears on the ground, and the “homeland is now at more risk than it has been in 20 years.” He said the Biden administration ignored the intelligence community’s warnings because “they love the emotional slogan ‘no more endless wars.'”
Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), who lost his legs in a roadside bomb explosion while serving in Afghanistan, blamed commanders in Washington.
“Vietnam was not lost because of those that trudged selflessly through the jungles and rice paddies in Vietnam. It was lost because of Pennsylvania Avenue,” Mast said Monday on Fox News. “And Afghanistan was not lost because of those that I stood shoulder to shoulder with that went over those mountains, that fell off a cliff, that took incoming mortar and sniper rounds. It wasn’t lost because of them. It was lost because of Pennsylvania Avenue.”
Finally, Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), the first Army Green Beret to be elected to Congress, joined the Gutfeld! program late Monday and lambasted the Biden administration.
“The war is not over. The terrorism in Afghanistan doesn’t stay in Afghanistan. It will spread like a cancer and will follow us home,” the congressman, who served in Afghanistan, passionately stated. “This is a disaster on humanitarian grounds, for American credibility, and it’s a disaster for counter-terrorism. As we head into the 20th anniversary of 9-11, we are far less safe. And what pisses me off is that future American soldiers will have to go back to clean up this mess, with no bases, no local allies, and they’ll have to fight through a terrorist army loaded with American equipment. It’s outrageous and irresponsible.”
Waltz also debunked the popular line that those remaining in Afghanistan were given the opportunity to leave and decided to stay. He claimed he has voice mails, videos, and desperate pleas from Americans stranded in Afghanistan.
“I’ve been up night after night helping Americans get out. And they’re still there,” Waltz said. “I was on the phone this morning with two American citizens and their children outside the gates of Kabul International. Biden left them behind. We are trying to smuggle them out through other means…Biden kept promises to the Taliban but not America.”
Waltz explained that the same team of “academic and political scientists without a speck of dirt under their fingernails” who served former President Barack Obama are making decisions now. He referenced the Obama administration’s failures in Benghazi, with Bowe Bergdahl, the Iraq War pull-out, the Iran nuclear deal, and other fatal decisions led by Antony Blinken, John Kerry, Susan Rice, Jake Sullivan, and other Democrats.
Never deterred from pitiful cliches, State Department spokesman Ned Price, who’s had a rough few days, still decided to issue a message to the Taliban Monday night.
After Price asked rogue terrorists to respect the “basic rights of the people,” avoid violence and form “an inclusive government,” those with IQs above 90 mercilessly mocked him.
The Mission
Americans and Afghans applying for Special Immigrant Visas, thousands of whom are stranded and facing almost certain death at the hands of the Taliban, will soon be able to escape through a privately run civilian airlift organized by the veterans' coalition Project Dynamo 2.
The mission – part of the movement #DigitalDunkirk and named in reference to Allied forces’ evacuation of Dunkirk during World War II with the help of thousands of civilian watercraft -- will gather evacuees in four provinces outside Kabul and airlift them to safety, said Jen Wilson, chief operating officer of Army Week Association and a member of the coalition. The coalition, which is paid for entirely by the veterans and any donations they receive, has mobilized and plans to fly out its first evacuees within days, she said.
For anyone left behind when the United States and its allies pull out, she said, the future looks grim
without civilian rescue.
"They go back to the 7th century, if they live," Wilson said.
Evacuations will begin in several outlying provinces, away from Kabul, she said. For many people in the outer regions of Afghanistan, it's too dangerous to try to reach Kabul and its chaotic airport. Once there, dense crowds of people all trying to get into the airport through Taliban checkpoints have made it nearly impossible for most to pass.
Wilson said American passport-holders, green card-holders and their children, along with Afghans applying for the special visas, should contact Project Dynamo 2 through her email address at jen.wilson@armyweek.org until the coalition's website is operational. Someone from the group will then tell them where to go for processing and a route out of the country.
Many of the people trying to escape with their families worked as interpreters for the U.S. military during its 20-year war against the Taliban, and were promised protection in exchange for their service.
And now, every second counts for them, she said. The Taliban plans to cut off all Internet and cell phone communication with the outside world when American and NATO troops leave Aug. 31, Wilson said.
"Once they lose the ability to communicate, it's game over," she said."They lose the ability to get out if they
can't talk to the West."

A network of “hundreds of thousands” of people, including analysts, are using satellite imagery and other tools to help Afghan interpreters who worked for U.S. forces to evade Taliban checkpoints in Kabul and bring them to the safety of the airport.
The network’s efforts are necessary because the Biden administration is offering little assistance to the 20,000 interpreters and their families who are at great risk every second they remain in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan war veteran and CIA analyst Matt Zeller is part of the group.
Zeller described a “digital Dunkirk” campaign working to evacuate the Afghan interpreters. He said “hundreds of thousands” of people joined the movement after just a few weeks, but that it could grow into the millions by the time it’s over.
“If you served in the Afghan war and you still care about these people, chances are you’re probably part of the digital Dunkirk,” Zeller told Fox News.
He said it started as an “army of veterans” getting pinged by Afghans, but that the network has grown to include organizations for human rights, faith and political advocacy.
Zeller told Fox News, “It’s not just veterans. Literally, it’s pastors, it’s my mom, it’s my relatives, people who have never served in Afghanistan … widows, widowers, children of people who served.”

The Kabul airport is a hellish place for Americans. It’s even worse for Afghans looking to get out of the country. One woman, a U.S. citizen, was forced to leave her family behind because they weren’t citizens yet and Zeller says, “That is being played out over and over and over again.”
Zeller said the U.S. has a responsibility to evacuate the Afghan interpreters.
If they aren’t evacuated now, then “they’re gonna be dead, and we’ll regret for the rest of our lives having failed them,” Zeller told Fox News.
Zeller says he would love it if someone called him and asked him to help with the evacuation in Afghanistan. “I don’t know of a single veteran that I’ve spoken with who feels any differently.”
He said he can’t imagine what it must be like for the U.S. troops at the Kabul airport “who have to stand 50 meters away from the Taliban and watch them be thugs and not be able to do a damn thing about it.”
Gunfire could be heard throughout voice memos a female journalist attempting to leave Afghanistan sent Fox News. Based on her location, the U.S. troops at the Kabul airport could likely hear the shots.
Zeller believes that there is a solution to the problem of the interpreters and the Americans struggling to get to the airport and it rests with one man.
Zeller said the campaign to evacuate the interpreters “is a whole of America effort … minus the one guy, the only guy, who can give the order to actually truly save these people,” referring to President Biden.
“I was appalled that the secretary of defense said he didn’t have the ability to guarantee the safe movement of Americans to the airport in Kabul,” Zeller told Fox News. “He absolutely does.”
“He has the United States military,” he continued. “What he doesn’t have is the orders to move those people.”
Biden doesn’t have the guts to give those orders. But his dream of being remembered as the president who ended the “forever war” has been dashed. He will now be remembered as the president who allowed the most shameful military episode in American history to unfold on his watch.

The attorney for one of the men at the “protest gone wild” at the Capitol Building last January has called on the federal judge to move Thomas Edward Caldwell’s trial out of “Trump-hating” Washington, D.C. Caldwell was the first of the Capitol protesters to be arrested. The coverage of his arrest set the tone for media coverage of all other arrestees in the Department of Justice’s “shock and awe” plan to root out alleged “white nationalist” militancy. Caldwell’s attorney says that’s the problem because it’s untrue.
Attorney David W. Fischer filed a motion to move the trial to the Western District of Virginia where there are fewer people who “despise many things that traditional America stands for” and who have less “petulant intolerance for those with differing views.” He notes that only 5% of Washington, D.C., residents voted for Trump and they hold him in such contempt that they believed the fake news that he was Russian spy.
Prosecutors have delivered four versions of their claims in four superseding indictments against Caldwell, each less histrionic and myth-making than the one before.
Caldwell is a 20-year U.S. Navy veteran who was apparently outside of the Capitol Building on January 6. He is charged with four felony counts: conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, entering and remaining in a restricted area, and tampering with documents or proceedings.
Here is what he is not, according to his attorney. Caldwell is not a “white supremacist,” nor a “white nationalist.” He is not a would-be murderer or a member of a militia group. He did not suggest “gassing” and “executing” members of Congress. He did not lead Oath Keepers, since, presumably, one would have to be an Oath Keeper to lead Oath Keepers. Fischer says his client is not a member.
The motion for the change-of-venue is a near-complete takedown of the efforts undertaken by federal investigators and prosecutors to poison the jury pool and media coverage, which, let’s be honest, isn’t hard. It’s such a scintillating read that it could be a movie.
The defense motion claims that prosecutors “knowingly disseminated false and incendiary claims” that Caldwell and others planned to sack the Capitol and “execute” people when they had no evidence for it – not even after conducting a “cyber colonoscopy” on cell phones and computers. There was no “plan,” Caldwell’s attorney claims. That allegation was based on “a rumor started by government bureaucrats attempting to cover up their incompetent leadership.”
The Government’s misleading charging papers have misinformed the public and caused unnecessary panic in the District, additionally tainting the potential jury pool. Most troubling was the Government’s incendiary—and highly inaccurate– suggestion in previous charging documents that Caldwell and Oath Keepers were chasing down Members of Congress, trying to trap and kill them in the hallways of the Capitol.
Prosecutors shot first and asked questions later. In addition to citing copious examples of prejudicial news stories – including a CNN story claiming Caldwell was part of an “execution squad” that planned to “seal” congressional members in “tunnels under capital” [sic] and “turn on [the] gas” – the acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin gave a “reckless” “prejudicial and extrajudicial” interview intimating that Caldwell was part of a plot to overthrow the government.
In the CBS 60 Minutes interview two months after the charging papers had been issued, prosecutors began walking back their most hyperbolic claims but by then it was too late. The media took the bait and ran with the story that was hand-chummed by prosecutors. Sedition was something with which Caldwell was never charged, but you wouldn’t know it from this exchange:
Scott Pelley: I’m not a lawyer, but the way I read the sedition statute, it says that, “Sedition occurs when anyone opposes by force the authority of the United States, or by force hinders or delays the execution of any law of the United States.” Seems like a very low bar, and I wonder why you’re not charging that now?
Michael Sherwin: Okay, so I don’t think it’s a low bar, Scott, but I will tell you this. I personally believe the evidence is trending towards that, and probably meets those elements.
Scott Pelley: Do you anticipate sedition charges against some of these suspects?
Michael Sherwin: I believe the facts do support those charges. And I think that, as we go forward, more facts will support that, Scott. [emphasis added]
Multiple examples of news stories were cited in the document, noting that the erroneous information was purposely pumped into the media and into Washington’s hyper-partisan political bloodstream.
The defense argues that, as a result of these “unique circumstances,” prosecutorial whoppers, and poisonous media coverage, Washington, D.C., came under emergency orders and became an armed, occupied territory with troops, fencing, roadblocks, and curfews. The lockdown was a physical manifestation of the rhetoric uttered by the president, members of Congress, and local and federal police who all fed the fear that “white supremacists” would attempt another attack.

Would-be jurors’ “psyches” were subject to an assault on their liberty, fear for their safety, and belief that they were imprisoned in an armed encampment … because they basically were, Fischer argues.
Related: The Capitol Riot Rorschach Test
Fischer further argues that the “level of antipathy towards Trump and his supporters in the District is off the charts and makes it impossible to find an impartial jury.” And he made a list of undeniable attacks on the GOP.
District residents, moreover, have hectored Trump-supporting Members of Congress, surrounded them in restaurants (e.g., Ted Cruz), congregated around their homes (e.g., Lindsay Graham, Josh Hawley), aggressively confronted them on the street (e.g., Rand Paul), and engaged in incessant “protests” around former Majority Leader McConnell’s home. District protesters attempted to burn down historic St. John’s church, vandalized millions of dollars of statues and other property, and surrounded the White House in an illegal assemblage during BLM and anti-Trump protests. One Democrat Hill staffer yelled “**** you, Mr. President” as President Trump walked the halls of Congress. The crowd at the Washington Nationals baseball game booed resident Trump during the World Series. An anti-Trump zealot shot up a softball practice just across the Potomac in Alexandria, nearly killing Majority Whip Steve Scalise. The level of antipathy towards Trump and his supporters in the District is off the charts and makes it impossible to find an impartial jury.
This is the jury pool.
The document claims that even the bar in D.C. is tainted against Trump, citing a prosecutor who called Capitol protesters “hillbillies” and “white trash” and another attorney who assumed her client was a racist and gave her a re-education “hate therapy” reading list. Fischer noted about that incident, “Ironically, with the exception of Schindler’s List, the assigned books and movies prescribed by the attorney are largely fictional, heavy on race-baiting and light on facts.”
In a footnote, the attorney went nuclear on the attorney’s reading list for grandma:
The astute observer would note that the perpetrators of the Holocaust were socialists, i.e., NAZIs (“National Socialists”), not small-government Republicans. The Tulsa “massacre” of 1921, moreover, is grossly misrepresented in the History Channel’s chronicle and in hundreds of recent news stories, all of which, for some reason, neglect to mention that the “massacre” started when an armed group of African American men, mistakenly believing that a rape defendant was about to be lynched, shot and killed, in cold blood, nearly a dozen white men, igniting a three day race riot. This historical fact, which even black-owned newspapers in Tulsa at the time acknowledged, perhaps is the reason why the Tulsa “massacre” was called the Tulsa “race riot” for 90 years, until modern race-charlatans rewrote history for political purposes.
He claims that Caldwell can’t get a fair trial in the District because he “is the victim of D.C.- based systemic race-baiting” that went to the top, including “the President, Attorney General, Speaker of the House, prominent politicians, and media personalities [who] have engaged in the most shameful race-baiting regarding Caldwell and other defendants.”
The defense attorney said that the “anti-government” label given to Caldwell will also work against him in a town where most people work for the government.
He’s asking the judge to move the trial to the Western District of Virginia because most of the alleged bad acts alleged by the feds occurred there. It’s a tough sell to get a judge to acknowledge that his jury pool can’t deliver a fair verdict. Fischer notes that even Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, was given a change of venue from Oklahoma City.

ABC-7 News in Washington reports the Biden administration has found yet another use for the COVID pandemic.
In South Dakota, Biden’s unity-branded administration is using the pandemic to cancel 4th of July fireworks at Mt. Rushmore. The fact that the pandemic was worse last year, Mt. Rushmore fireworks went forward, and there wasn’t a single case of COVID linked to that event is immaterial.
COVID is of course the handy excuse.
The Pentagon released the following statement on Friday, leaving the group little time to prepare for an alternative and burying bad news on the weekend:
Unfortunately, the department has disapproved AMVETS permit request. The department took into careful consideration all aspects of AMVETS request, to include the current Health Protection Condition status on the Pentagon Reservation; substantial community transmission of COVID-19 in Arlington County, Virginia; number of Americans fully vaccinated across the nation; nature of this event with its decreased ability to maintain physical distance; and large crowds in one location for an extended period of time. This event draws national attention and participation; therefore the risk of exposure from participants from other communities extends well beyond the National Capital Region.
If COVID-19 conditions permit, the department would gladly consider supporting a future event request from AMVETS, potentially as soon as this Labor Day weekend.
COVID is improving, more of us are vaccinated, life is returning to normal in much of the United States. That doesn’t seem to have influenced the Pentagon’s decision.
The permit denial is actually a revocation, and it comes as much of the rest of the capital is reopening.
The Pentagon continues to decline the I-Team’s request for an on-camera interview. It did admit it revoked a parking permit for AmVets after approving it in March.
The Pentagon’s denial comes on the heels of the Smithsonian announcing last week that it will reopen eight of its facilities to the public in May, starting with the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly on Wednesday, May 5.
Additional museums and the National Zoo will open Friday, May 14, and Friday, May 21. Also on Friday, the United States Holocaust Museum announced that it plans to reopen on Monday, May 17 with reduced visitation, required face coverings, temperature checks, social distancing, and other safety measures.
A simple solution presents itself: AMVETS should simply identify as antifa and reapply for the permit. Biden will pretend they don’t exist and no law enforcement agency in any blue city will be empowered by their Democrat politicians to stop the march. Easy peasy.
Sun Tzu wrote, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” Know him. Know how he thinks. Thwart him.
They should’ve done so as soon as Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election.
For almost a year the organizers of Rolling To Remember have been waiting for the Pentagon to sign off on a parking permit for a Memorial Day weekend event that will bring in thousands of veterans and their motorcycles to the District.
Two weeks ago, the 7News I-Team reported the U.S. Defense Department was holding up what seems to be a simple decision to allow or deny thousands of military veterans to use its parking lot for a staging area for Rolling To Remember.
It’s the same parking lot the huge event has been using for the past 32 years.
American traditions don’t matter to Biden’s administration or its woke generals. COVID is the catch-all they’ve used to keep church congregations separate, release thousands of criminals from prison, threaten to cancel America’s birthday, and now deny veterans who want to honor our war dead something as simple as a parking permit.
Prediction: The Pentagon will back down after blowback. But if that happens, no one should forget its initial decision. Denying veterans is Joe Biden and SecDef Lloyd Austin’s gut call. They want Rolling to Remember and anything else that celebrates America forgotten. Change my mind.

Jessica Bonjorni is the chief officer of human capital at the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). In this role, Bonjorni manages divisions including about 1,000 employees with a budget of about $1.2 billion. The VHA is America’s largest integrated healthcare system, according to its website, serving nine million enrolled veterans each year.
According to a source who reached out to PJ Media, Bonjorni brought her woke, critical race theory politics to the VHA last summer via email communications and unrecorded “open forums” in which she slammed America and promoted the divisive doctrine.
It began in June 2020. As riots swept across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Bonjorni — who heads a large department within the VHA — convened the first forum online on June 12, 2020. According to the source, the first and subsequent open forums became vehicles for Bonjorni to express her belief in critical race theory. Bonjorni also expressed her intention to make critical race theory part of her management at the VHA.
Bonjorni is a graduate of Smith College, which has become infamous for imposing critical race theory — which reduces the complexity of life and personhood to boxes and categories of “oppressor” and “oppressed” — on its students and staff. Where it is practiced, critical race theory brings division and anger, not reconciliation or unity.
Critical race theory also teaches that America was founded on racism and slavery and is irredeemably racist. If that is the case, why should anyone ever defend it? Why honor veterans or give us any benefits? I pose these questions because Bonjorni manages a key department in a large federal agency that exists to serve veterans, including myself.
Bonjorni’s first salvo on race came just days after Floyd’s death, on June 5, 2020.
Six days later, Bonjorni injects “social justice” into the discussion.
That’s a day ahead of the first “open forum” and set the tone.
The open forums were unrecorded. PJ Media’s source says Bonjorni used them to promote critical race theory and made inflammatory statements in them, such as that America’s founding was racist, and she could not even understand why anyone would disagree with that.
After the first couple of forums, during which one staff member reportedly called another a “racist” and called for that person’s firing — with no pushback or evidence sought to justify such incendiary, possibly life-destroying claims — Bonjorni sent out another missive to VHA human capital staff. This one suggests establishing a race-based star chamber within the VHA, under the name “internal diversity and inclusion council.” Bonjorni cites CRT proponent Ibram X. Kendi and introduces terms such as “microaggression” into the discussion. Bonjorni introduces and apparently tolerates no balanced evidence or opinion.
After months of riots and exposure of critical race theory as a Marxist doctrine, President Trump banned its use in the federal workplace and among federal contractors. Even French President Emanuel Macron rejected the woke doctrine, leading other leaders in Europe and Canada to do the same. Chinese activists in the U.S. lambaste critical race theory as a “fraud.”
Bonjorni went quiet after Trump’s ban, sending out no more emails and hosting no more of the “open forums.”
That all changed on January 20, 2021 — the day Joe Biden was inaugurated.
That day, Bonjorni happily announced that the politicization of the Veterans Health Administration — along with the rest of the federal government — would resume.
Bonjorni’s quote of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is deeply ironic. King called for everyone to be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Critical race theory rejects that, and judges people purely by skin color and to a lesser extent class, rendering their character, intentions, and actions meaningless.

Images from Jessica Bonjorni's Instagram feed, and from the Instagram feed of one of her friends:
In Part 1 of our report on woke, anti-American politics at the Veterans Health Administration we met Jessica Bonjorni. Bonjorni is the woke chief officer of “human capital” at the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and a strong critical race theory proponent.
On Wednesday, April 21, according to an email she sent to VHA staff, Bonjorni is scheduled to testify before a U.S. House committee on numerous issues, including VA background checks.
Prior to her current position, from 2018 Bonjorni was the acting assistant deputy undersecretary for health for workforce services at the VHA, according to this online resume. Such positions “involve all aspects of human resources, including hiring, workforce management, leadership development, training and organizational development,” according to this VA piece.
Prior to moving over to the VHA, Bonjorni worked at the Federal Bureau of Investigations in its human capital division. According to the online resume linked above, Bonjorni has her MBA from Harvard (2006) and a degree in astrophysics from Smith College (2000).
Smith College, located in Northampton, Mass., has been in the headlines recently. Smith graduate Jody Shaw resigned her staff position at the college due to what she described as a pervasive toxic work environment due to its emphasis on race and critical race theory. In her letter to the dean explaining her resignation, Shaw wrote:
Every day, I watch my colleagues manage student conflict through the lens of race, projecting rigid assumptions and stereotypes on students, thereby reducing them to the color of their skin. I am asked to do the same, as well as to support a curriculum for students that teaches them to project those same stereotypes and assumptions onto themselves and others. I believe such a curriculum is dehumanizing, prevents authentic connection, and undermines the moral agency of young people who are just beginning to find their way in the world.
Bonjorni is a graduate of the same Smith College, albeit 21 years ago. Her entire federal career is in the human resources or human capital space, which as noted above deals with personnel management decisions including hiring and the criteria and standards by which hires are made and employees are terminated. Bonjorni wields enormous authority and influence within the Veterans Health Administration.
There appears to be a discrepancy over the degree Bonjorni claims to have earned from Smith College versus the one she actually holds.
Résumé fraud is defined here and includes:
Bonjorni’s online résumé states that she holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in astrophysics, earned in 2000, at Smith College. According to a whistleblower case that has been filed with the Veterans Affairs Office of Whistleblower Protections in February of 2021 concerning this and other aspects of Bonjorni’s leadership, Smith College did not offer an astrophysics degree in 2000 and still does not. Smith offered a degree in astronomy in that time frame but did not begin offering even a minor in astrophysics until 2003. Note the last line in this screenshot of Bonjorni’s online bio.
This record from Smith College of its year 2000 graduates and their majors corroborates the fact that the college did not offer an astrophysics major in that year. The record indicates one astronomy graduate in 2000, presumably Bonjorni. There were 11 physics graduates that same year.
The distinction between a degree in astronomy versus astrophysics may seem subtle; the latter is generally a subcategory or specialty of the former. But the difference as a field of study is not as subtle as it may seem. Smith College does not offer a degree in astrophysics and it did not when Bonjorni graduated, in 2000.
Its course offerings in astronomy are noted here, as is the separate minor in astrophysics, which was first offered three years after Bonjorni graduated. The astronomy major is light on mathematics, with just four courses across four years dedicated to it.
Since Smith does not offer a major in astrophysics, we can look to nearby Williams College, which does, to compare the two courses of study. According to Williams’ website describing its Astrophysics major:
An essential ingredient in such students’ undergraduate training is experience in physics and mathematics. Therefore, the major normally will begin in the first year a student is at Williams with Physics 131 or 141 or 151 and Math 140 in the fall continuing with Physics 142 and Math 150/151 in the spring. Students with very good backgrounds placing them out of Physics 142 may elect Physics 201 instead. Astronomy 111 could therefore be taken in the sophomore year, however exceptionally motivated students can consider taking it their first semester at Williams along with physics and math.
Astrophysics is math-heavy; astronomy is not. Universities break the two fields of study out along separate courseloads.
Smith’s astronomy degree does not require the same intense dedication to physics and mathematics as Williams’ astrophysics degree, or any other astrophysics degree requires. This is not to say that astronomy is somehow lesser; just that it’s not the same course and does not require the same devotion to mathematics that astrophysics requires.
Because Smith did not offer an astrophysics degree in 2000 (when Bonjorni graduated) and still does not, the claim on her résumé cannot be chalked up to simple error. Bonjorni makes the exact same, false, claim on her publically available LinkedIn profile.
Casting the net a bit wider, Smith College is a member of the Five College Consortium which includes UMass Amherst, Amherst College, Mount Holyoke College, and Hampshire College. Only one of the five, UMass, offers any type of astrophysics major (a combination astronomy/astrophysics program, which by its name differentiates between the two fields). The other four do not. Amherst College, for instance, breaks the two courses apart under its Department of Physics & Astronomy. It offers a course on astronomy and a course on physics, but not astrophysics.
This website lists all of the colleges in the United States that offer astrophysics degrees in 2021. Williams College, as noted above does offer an astrophysics program and does appear on this list. Smith College does not.
The fact that Bonjorni won an academic award for a paper she wrote in her field of study further emphasizes the point that claiming an astrophysics degree, when Smith College does not offer one, cannot be an error. Also keep in mind, Bonjorni is the head of human capital for the VHA and would understand the consequences for claiming to hold a degree that is different from the one a job applicant or staff member actually holds. Bonjorni has likely had the task of establishing and implementing standards and consequences for résumé padding and fraud. Optional Federal Form OF-306 indicates that any false statements made on the form may be grounds for not being hired for federal or federal contract employment, or for being fired after an employee is hired. Filling out the OF-306 is required of all federal and federal contract employees, according to ClearanceJobs.com. The Office of Personnel Management sheds additional light on when the OF-306 is filled out.
When she isn’t pushing woke critical race theory on her staff at the VHA, Bonjori engages in political protests, which is perfectly legal, if revealing of her politics, and isn’t shy about letting her hair down and posting about it on social media. The following images are from her Instagram feed and that of a friend.
Thunder From Down Under is an all-male review that bills itself as “Australia’s HOTTEST export” while promising “chiseled bodies” and “seductive dance routines.” Viewing the scantily-clad team is perfectly legal, but imagine if the male head of a vast federal human resources division was caught posting on social media bragging about attending a similar show featuring female performers.
STUPID REPUBLICANS FAIL TO INVESTIGATE HIS BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF SUPPORT FOR JIHADIST ISLAMIC ORGANIZATIONS
BY JOHN D. GUANDOLO, EX-MARINE & FBI AGENT
SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2021/02/muslim-brotherhood-supporter-named-va-secretary;
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
The U.S. Senate just confirmed Denis McDonough to be the new Secretary of the Veterans Administration.
McDonough has a long history of openly supporting jihadis while in public office.
The counter-terrorism policies and strategies created under his watch as Deputy National Security Advisor and Chief of Staff under President Obama demonstrate his overt support for individuals and entities who openly call for the overthrow of the U.S. government and the destruction of liberty and innocent life.
McDonough’s seditious and unlawful actions are unprecedented in their brazenness and blatant violation of his oath and the law.
For instance, as the Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama, McDonough went to the Muslim Brotherhood’s mosque, the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) in Sterling, Virginia with senior U.S. leaders including FBI, DHS, NSC, etc to PRAISE its imam.
The ADAMS Center imam is Mohamed Magid, a Muslim Brotherhood leader.
See the video of McDonough’s speech at ADAMS HERE. (By the way, Denis McDonough lied when he said Thomas Jefferson held “the first Iftar dinner at the White House.”)
For years, Muslim Brother Imam Mohamed Magid served as the Vice President and then President of one of North America’s largest Muslim Brotherhood organizations, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
ISNA was identified by the Department of Justice as a Muslim Brotherhood organization which directly funded Hamas leaders and organizations overseas.
The evidence was revealed in the largest terrorism financing trials ever successfully prosecuted in American history – US v Holy Land Foundation (HLF), Northern District of Texas (Dallas), 2008.
You can see ISNA’s financial transactions sending money to the designated Foreign Terrorist Organization Hamas, entered into evidence at the HLF trial HERE.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist organization in several nations, and the U.S. House and Senate both have bills pending to declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group in America. See the bill HERE.
So either Denis McDonough is grossly ignorant and incompetent, as well as criminally negligent for not knowing/understanding basic facts in evidence about ISNA and the Muslim Brotherhood, or he was and is wittingly complicit in aiding and abetting enemies of the United States in violation of his Oath and federal law.
