Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is demanding U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland turn over documents that could explain why the Department of Justice has repeatedly refused to prosecute any threats against Republican-nominated Supreme Court justices following a leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson draft opinion.
In a letter to Garland, Jordan demanded President Joe Biden’s DOJ head turn over all documents and communications with the White House, “including those sent or received by employees of the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia,” related to the intimidation campaign against certain SCOTUS justices.
“For several years, prominent Democrats have intimidated and bullied the Supreme Court to resist legal challenges to the left’s radical progressive agenda,” Jordan wrote. “The Biden Administration’s reluctance to condemn these radical efforts—Court-packing proposals, threats to justices and their families, and unsupported recusal demands—has created an environment in which the far left now feels emboldened to harass justices at their private residences.” Jordan said coordinated campaigns from shady left-wing organizations such as Ruth Sent Us — which published the addresses of Supreme Court justices’ homes, downplayed an assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his family, and encouraged its followers to target Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s children — “appear to be attempts to intimidate and influence the justices’ rulings.”
Despite a federal statute banning protests designed to hamper “the administration of justice” or “with the intent of influencing any judge … in the discharge of his duty,” the DOJ under Garland’s watch has so far refused to prosecute anyone who has picketed or protested at Republican-nominated justices’ homes.
“This latest left-wing delegitimization campaign against the Supreme Court is a
transparent effort to influence the justices related to the discharge of their official duties,” Jordan wrote.Jordan gave Garland […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
