Whistleblower nurse claims FBI turned up at her door and threatened her after she accused America's...
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … largest children's hospital of illegally giving kids free sex change operations.

A whistleblower nurse who accused America's largest children's hospital of illegally using Medicaid benefits to offer children free sex change operations claims the FBI showed up at her doorstep and threatened her.

Vanessa Sivadge told journalist Chris Rufo that her employer, the Texas Children's Hospital, was violating state law by using the benefits to provide sex change operations to minors.

She further alleged that doctors at the hospital were manipulating patients into accepting 'gender-affirming care, and said she believed that some families feared the doctors would call Child Protective Services if they dissented.

But after speaking with Rufo about what she had seen, Sivadge claimed two FBI agents showed up at her door - sharing doorbell camera footage with him showing two plain-clothes agents knocking on the door and asking for her.

As she approached the men, one of the agents began asking her about her work.

'I'm sure you're aware of some of the things that have been going on at your work lately,' he says in the video, which Rufo shared to X.

When she replies that she is, the agent then asks if he could come inside to 'let me do my song and dance.'

From there, Sivadge claims the agents began to threaten her.

'They threatened me,' she told Rufo. 'They promised they would make life difficult for me if I was trying to protect the leaker. They said I was not safe at work and claimed that someone at my workplace had given my name to the FBI.'

Sivadge is now the second employee at Texas Children's Hospital to make such claims.

Last year, Dr. Ethan Haim - a surgeon who completed his residency at the hospital - leaked documents showing that TCH staff had provided puberty blockers and other sex-change treatments to children, even after hospital officials said they had stopped the procedures in March 2022.

Just one month after leaking the documents, Haim said he received a knock on his door from FBI agents who handed him a letter identifying him as a 'potential target' in a federal probe.'

'I was given a target letter signed by a federal prosecutor that stated I was being criminally investigated for a case regarding medical records,' he said.

Haim now argues that such tactics are a 'blatant attempt at political intimidation,' claiming the prosecution is 'driven by a highly ideological division within the Department of Health and Human Services.'

Officials seek to 'silence whistleblowers who expose institutionalized medical corruption and the dangers of these hormone-based interventions for confused, adolescent children,' he said.

Seattle to use illegal migrants to bolster depleted police force after losing 700 officers in just five years
What could possibly go worng?
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Seattle has become the latest Dem-run city trying to replace an exodus of coppers with illegal migrants colonists.

Washington's largest city has just 913 cops to serve its 750,000 people after losing 725 officers in the last five years.

Now its police department has tweaked the rules to allow applications from migrants colonists who crossed the border illegally as children and are registered on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), or 'Dreamers', program.

And under a law change signed by Democrat Governor Jay Inslee
...Governor of Washington state, failed candidate for the 2020 Dem presidential campaign, mainly because nobody outside the state and some inside had ever heard of him. He complained, complained, complained that the Trump administration wasn't doing enough to help the state, then returned an Army field hospital and 400 ventilators that didn't get used...
in February they can be chosen above an equally qualified candidate if they speak more than one language.

Radio host Jason Rantz tells NewsNation's Morning in America, 'I think if you have anyone who is qualified and willing to do the job, including qualified Americans who speak another language, they should be treated just as equally as everybody else.'

'So each person who shows up for an interview has to admit to committing a felony,' one retired officer wrote on X. 'A federal trial should take place prior to any hiring I would assume?'

#4  What could possibly go wrong?

The Somali policeman who shot the victim is Mohamed Noor, a 31-year-old Somali-American officer who was part of the Minneapolis Police Department. On July 15, 2017, Noor shot and killed Justine Damond, a 40-year-old Australian-American woman, after she called 911 to report a possible assault in an alley behind her house.

Noor was the first Somali-American officer in his precinct, and his arrival was celebrated as a cultural bridge between the police and the city’s large Somali refugee population.
Noor had been with the Minneapolis Police Department for 21 months at the time of the shooting.
His partner, Matthew Harrity, was the driver of their squad car.
Noor’s shooting of Damond was widely condemned, and he was later convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Mother of fallen Connecticut detective admonishes town council after refusal to fly 'antagonistic' flag
[FoxNews] A mother of a fallen Connecticut detective admonished a Democrat-led town council after it voted against flying the "thin blue line" flag in honor of a recently slain trooper.

Debbie Garten, the mother of Hartford police Det. Robert "Bobby" Garten, who was killed in the line of duty in September 2023, shared a heartfelt testimony at the Wethersfield town council meeting on Monday on why the "thin blue line" flag matters to those who have lost a loved one in the line of duty.

"I understand that you may have your own viewpoints and policies, but I want to share a few of my thoughts with you," Garten said. "Was this issue mishandled? Without a doubt."

Garten said the situation has caused her a "world of hurt."

CONNECTICUT TOWN REFUSED TO FLY ‘ANTAGONISTIC’ ‘BLUE LINE' FLAG TO HONOR FALLEN TROOPER

Debbie Garten, the mother of fallen Hartford Det. Robert "Bobby" Garten, gave heartfelt testimony on why the "thin blue line" flag matters to families of slain officers at a Wethersfield Town Council Meeting on June 17. ( Weathersfield Town Council)

"I feel you all have missed the point of this flag request, which has caused a world of hurt to me as a lifelong resident of this town for 60 years, my family, residents of Wethersfield and the law enforcement community at large," she said. "The impact of this council's action is immeasurable."

She said that the fallout after the decision was "an embarrassment."

"When the Pelletier family was mourning the loss of Trooper First Class Aaron Pelletier, some council members chose to appear on television and, in essence, I feel, embarrassed themselves and the town of Wethersfield," Garten said.

"It was disheartening to witness the news coverage and hear the disrespectful and hurtful remarks made by some town council members, especially as the week and funeral for First Class Pelletier was going on," she said.

The mother of the fallen officer said that she appreciated seeing the unveiling of her son's name on the Connecticut Law Enforcement Memorial and seeing a row of "thin blue line" flags flying in Washington, D.C.

"Beyond honoring fallen officers, the blue line flag supports families," Garten said. "It shows that they are not alone in their grief, and that there is a network of individuals who understand and empathize with our pain."

She added that the flag symbolizes a "united community" that can band together after experiencing the loss of a fallen hero.

Seven federal agencies have pushed tech giants to censor Americans, Media Research Center says
[FoxNews] We have never seen this kind of effort to silence regular, everyday Americans,' Dan Schneider says

Seven federal agencies have pressured Big Tech to censor Americans, according to the Media Research Center.

The MRC analyzed actions of several federal agencies as the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hand down its opinion on Murthy v. Missouri, a case brought by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana to prevent the Biden administration from colluding with and coercing Big Tech companies to censor Americans. The watchdog group found that the Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of Justice, Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services, National Science Foundation, and Department of the Treasury have all pushed for various forms of censorship.

"There is a shocking degree of breadth and coordination within the Biden administration to use our tax dollars against us. We have never seen this kind of effort to silence regular, everyday Americans," MRC Free Speech America vice president Dan Schneider told Fox News Digital.

"The Biden administration's justification for its censorship initiative is astonishing. In court documents and in oral argument before the Supreme Court, Biden's lawyers literally claimed that the federal government has a First Amendment right to censor citizens," Schneider continued. "This inversion of the Constitution threatens the very essence of our democracy."

MRC Free Speech American editor Gabriela Pariseau, who wrote that Biden "sits atop a censorship regime made up of federal agencies that has repeatedly pressured Big Tech social media companies to clamp down on those who express views in opposition to his own," detailed censorship concerns at seven federal agencies in a recap of findings.

Government Corruption
Exclusive: Joe Biden adviser Amos Hochstein had contact with Burisma during height of corruption probe, emails show
[JustTheNews] Hochstein has most recently (this week!) been browbeating Bibi into letting Hamas slide. The new emails were gathered by the FBI in 2016 and show a degree of coordination with then-Vice President Biden top advisor and Burisma. Biden would later brag about quelling the investigation, but still insists he had no knowledge or relationship to his son's business.

Hunter Biden's team arranged for a senior Burisma Holdings executive to meet with one of his father Joe Biden's advisers at the State Department a decade ago, just months after the Ukrainian energy firm's owner was targeted in a high-profile and U.S.-backed corruption investigation, according to documents secretly gathered years ago by the FBI. The elder Biden was vice president at the time.

The documents, obtained by Just the News, chronicle a plan in summer and fall 2014 to connect Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi with then-State Department energy adviser Amos Hochstein, now a Middle East envoy for President Joe Biden. It was facilitated by the law firm that employed Hunter Biden at the time, Boies Schiller Flexner.

Hunter Biden himself was directly involved in the outreach, at one point helping to forward a direct number for Hochstein to facilitate a follow-up.

"Pls send D Amos' contact info," Hunter Biden wrote in a November 2014 email asking his business associate Eric Schwerin to forward the phone number to another of his business partners, Devon Archer.

"Amos is 'Acting Special Envoy, Bureau of energy Resources' at State," Biden added, showing he knew Hochstein's role and its relevance to the Ukrainian energy company.

The documents, which were gathered by the FBI and other federal agencies in 2016 in an unrelated securities fraud case, were recently turned over to the House Oversight Committee by Archer.

The new evidence is significant to House investigators leading the Biden impeachment inquiry for several reasons.

First, some of the documents were not on Hunter Biden's infamous laptop seized by the FBI in December 2019 and were never produced as evidence in Donald Trump's Ukraine impeachment case.

Secondly, Hochstein had been questioned by Senate investigators in 2020 and claimed "he could not recall" whether he had contact with Burisma as early as 2014.

And third, and perhaps most significantly, the efforts to connect Hochstein with Pozharskyi began in July 2014, less than three months after Hunter Biden joined Burisma's board. About that time, Great Britain's Serious Fraud Office made a high-profile effort in April 2014 to freeze Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky’s assets as part of a money laundering investigation that was assisted by the FBI.

The Zlochevsky investigation generated international headlines, and the Obama-Biden State Department considered Burisma to be a corrupt company at the time and was advocating for some form of accountability or punishment.

Even Hochstein himself acknowledged the concerns about Burisma in his 2020 Senate testimony. "I certainly associated Burisma as having a corrupt past that I believed needed to be prosecuted," Hochstein told Senate investigators while testifying he did not recall having contact with the company in 2014.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who was one of the first in Congress to investigate the Biden family's overseas business dealings and to interview Hochstein, told Just the News the new records chronicling the effort to connect Hochstein with Burisma in 2014 were important evidence proving why foreign entities like Burisma were paying Hunter Biden and his associates while his father was vice president.

"Well, it proves that what Hunter Biden was selling for all those millions of dollars was influence, and access," Johnson told the Just the News, No Noise television show. And, again, it's not surprising. What we're seeing now is we're just seeing more and more pieces of the puzzle being found. It starts showing a clearer picture of what happened."

The State Department and Hunter Biden's lawyer Abbe Lowell did not return messages seeking comment on the documents. Hochstein could not be reached over the phone for comment either

One document, a draft meeting schedule prepared for Burisma executive Vadim Pozharskyi’s visit to Washington, D.C., shows that on July 23, 2014 one hour was set aside for Pozharskyi, Burisma lobbyist David Leiter, and Boies Schiller Flexner, LLP law partner Heather King to meet with Hochstein. A source directly familiar with the meeting confirmed to Just the News that it took place.

Just days after the the meeting, King sent an email to Hunter Biden, Pozharskyi, Burisma board member and Biden business partner Devon Archer, and Leiter that indicates Hochstein had contact with the company representatives.

"This news is very concerning. I assume you will be sending an email to the State Dept today about this? We will also get you connected with the US Embassy contact so you can hopefully meet with the guy Hochstein recommended as soon as possible," King wrote.

This email came in response to Burisma's concerns over new laws in Ukraine which were set to raise taxes on private gas producers. It also raises questions about Hunter Biden’s efforts to use his political connections while his father was vice president to influence official policy.

Hochstein's communications with another State Department official weeks before the proposed meeting also indicate that he may have been preparing for a contact with Burisma officials earlier that month, though he could not recall the specifics in his 2020 testimony.

On July 9, Hochstein wrote to another official saying, "FYI, per your email re: David Leiter." To the email he attached an article titled: "Ukrainian employer of Joe Biden's son hires a D.C. lobbyist."

When Hochstein was asked by Senate investigators about the communication, he could not recall the specifics. "It sure seems that way, but I can't recall it. David Leiter was mentioned in this article. I may have mentioned the article to her, but I really have no idea," Hochstein said, according to the transcript of his interview.

Leiter's lobbying disclosures filed with the U.S. Senate show that he lobbied the State Department during the time period when the meeting took place.

At the time, the State Department considered Burisma and its owner corrupt and other agencies in the U.S. government were actively assisting a British investigation into Zlochevsky. Several months earlier, on April 28, 2014, the United Kingdom’s Serious Fraud Office opened a criminal money laundering investigation related to corruption in Ukraine, the office announced in a press release. The country froze $23 million in assets of the individual under investigation the same day.

Though Burisma owner Zlochevsky was not directly named, Hochstein’s testimony confirms the Ukrainian was the subject of the probe by the British government and that the State Department viewed him as corrupt. A report from the Kyiv Post also confirms that Zlochevsky was the target of the British action.

"There was an active case in the U.K. that the U.S. Government was supporting against Mr. Zlochevsky. Unfortunately, the prosecutor's office in Ukraine did not cooperate with the prosecutor's office in the U.K., and that ultimately was a driving factor in dismissing the case," Hochstein told Congress, explaining why the department viewed the company as corrupt.

It is unclear from the documents what Hunter Biden’s Burisma associates expected from their meeting with Hochstein or what help he might give them, if any. But, other documents previously unearthed by Just the News show that Boies' firm was central to organizing a legal defense plan for Burisma and Zlochevsky during part of the time that Hunter Biden served on the oligarch's company board.

The Boies firm in June 2014 compiled a detailed 58-page memo, to extricate the controversial energy company from an ongoing criminal investigation in Ukraine that relied heavily on trying to influence his father’s administration in Washington, Just the News reported earlier this month. The plan was obtained from the same collection of documents referenced in this article.

The memo identified several targets that the Burisma legal campaign hoped to contact in Washington, including Amos Hochstein, with whom the Burisma representatives would apparently meet one month later.

Leiter again communicated with Hochstein in August, according to another email.

Cori Bush claimed her faith healing helped a sick toddler walk, healed woman's tumors
[FOXNEWS] Stories about Missouri Democratic Rep. Cori Bush
...politician, nurse, pastor, and Black Lives Matter activist serving as the U.S. representative for Missouri's 1st congressional district, since 2021, and probably all years after that until she dies. The district includes all of the city of St. Louis and most of northern St. Louis County. There are few normal people to be found there. Soon after being sworn in, Bush joined The Squad, a group of Socialist Dem lawmakers intent on wrecking the country. She posted a photo on Twitter of herself, the four original Squad members, and another new member, Jamaal Fire Alarm Bowman, with the caption "Squad up."...
miraculously healing a woman with tumors and causing a sick toddler to walk have resurfaced.

In her 2022 autobiography "The Forerunner: A Story of Pain and Perseverance in America," Bush wrote about her time working as a faith healer. During that time, the New York Post first reported she claimed that she had an almost supernatural ability within her to heal others.

One instance included helping a disabled toddler to walk.

"The child had had a bleed in her brain, shortly after she was born, and so couldn’t walk. She had never taken a step in her life," Bush wrote. "I carried the child from the prayer room in the back of the church out into the sanctuary . . . ’Walk,’ I said gently to the three-year-old girl, ’you will walk.’ And this girl took her first step. Then another, and another. She walked."

#9  Miraculous healing does happen. People who facilitate that type of healing usually claim that they prayed and God answered. Cori seems to be claiming to have accomplished miraculous healing by her own ability. That is very unusual. Also people that participate in miraculous healings don’t usually stop to pursue their own political interest.

#10  ^^^ Agreed. Scripture indicates those that healed did so to bring credit to God, not themselves as this politician is doing.

Carville: I Would Bet Trump Is a 'No-Show' for the Debate
[BREITBART] Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday on MSNBC’s "The Beat" that he does not believe former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
will attend the presidential debate scheduled for June 27 on CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
Host Ari Melber said, "When you look at these debates, this is next week, so people who don’t follow as closely as news viewers, they’re going to realize, here’s the debate. I wanted to mention for folks, the new rule, next week, it will be different. No opening statements, two minutes to answer each questions, red lights visible when time expires. In a big win for the Biden campaign given Trump is a rule breaker, the other candidate who’s not speaking will be muted when it’s not their turn."

Carville said, "Well, if I was a gambler — and actually, I am a gambler — I’d take even money that Trump doesn’t show up."
Snakehead misspelled "Biden"
Melber said, "Ha. You don’t think Trump’s coming next week?"

Carville said, "I mean, I don’t know, but I think he’s gonna wake up and decide. Just like he said he was gonna testify at his defense in his trial. He didn’t even put on a defense. Let him show up. I wouldn’t be shocked, but I certainly would not be surprised if you gave me even money, I’d say he’s a no-show."

#1 

Now wondering, if the LSD's have an "accident" or more sudden Lawfare issues planned?

The majority of voting public has turned on the LSD's far-reaching National Socialist agenda and unconstitutional practices.

If Trump is allowed/able to rightfully take office, this time?
100's of Far Left in the DC Swamp and the Elitists, will face exposure for Treason/Subversion and civil rights violations.

They know Trump has the voter backing, to drain the DC Swamp of those with Anti-Constitutional agendas/practices, and it scares the crap out of them.

#6  I'm convinced Obama and the Cabal that has been the actual force behind most impactful decisions of the Puppet Show have been trying to get the Biden family and Kamala to willingly step aside for some time. Kamala refuses since she is certain she has a window of opportunity to assume the Presidency in the near future, pre or post election. Joe is delusional and vicious when aware of being contradicted or criticised. Jill/Hunter, Jim/Frank, and family members love the perks and power, and know serious criminal prosecutions and ruin await any exit unless pardons and futures are assured. Collectively they are intransigent.

Since the deal-making to remove their death-grip from power has become too hard, I believe Obama et al are just going to let the debate debacle happen, destroying the last fig-leaf of denial about how far-gone Joe actually is now. The depth of the failure will serve to unite every element of the largely fractured democrap base in fear of a massive tidal wave of Trumpian power.

Then the "rescue" to "save democracy" is revealed at the bogus convention kabuki theater and the hype of the "Save American Democracy Team" is revealed (actual players yet to be named, but new faces seem possible), with massive media spending, fueled by off-shore sources cloaked in dark-money gamesmanship, and every crooked trick the dems can pull in the two-month blitz that follows. It will be cutting edge emotional theater and packaging, no policy just endorphin soup in every serving by every delivery mechanism known to man.

#7  The scenario that I think will happen is that Trump will make a statement about Hunter’s conviction. Joe will throw a hissy and back out. That said, I think the debate happens.

Joe really really needs the debate to stop the bleeding of his poll numbers. Trump could easily make this the kill shot for Joe if Donald can remain composed and Joe drops into gibberish or is crazy aggressive.

Anti-Trump Groups Prepare to Resist His White House Return, Fearing Immigration and Other Crackdowns
[BREITBART] A loose-coalition of anti-Trump groups are planning ahead of November to try to resist actions they fear could be taken by a second potential Trump administration, by preparing lawsuits and planning to intervene in immigration raids.

According to a report by the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, groups like the far-left Center for American Progress
...George Soros-funded think tank headed by John Podesta, White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, supplied progressive talking points and policy positions for the Obamaregime. There was a revolving door between the White House and its nerve center, with B.O. staffing his administration with many of its operatives...
(CAP) and Never Trump groups such as Principles First are teaming up to prepare lawsuits to stop feared potential crackdowns on illegal immigration and child sacrifice abortion access, and efforts to reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy or use troops to restore order.

"What Trump and his acolytes are running on is an authoritarian playbook," Patrick Gaspard, the chief executive of the CAP Action Fund, the political arm of the far-left think-tank, told the Times. "So now we have to democracy-proof our actual institutions and the values that we share."

Some things the groups are working on include a conference at New York University next month on "Autocracy in America — A Warning and Response," making plans on fighting deportation and creating a model for volunteers nationwide to record and intervene in immigration raids, drafting potential lawsuits, and recruiting sympathetic plaintiffs.

Democrat governors have formed a group called the Reproductive Freedom Alliance to organize resistance to any potential federal actions to limit child sacrifice abortions.

#1  MAYO: I think for me, Donald Trump represents an existential threat not just to the Republican Party, but to the constitutional principles that that shape our country. So I personally would be voting for Biden. I think if that were the choice, and I'm encouraging others to just at least get engaged in this election because their voice is going to be very important. And 2024, I think, is one of the most important elections that we'll have.
MARTIN: That is Heath Mayo. He is president and founder of Principles First. the conservative group hosting an alternative to the CPAC conference. Heath Mayo, thanks so much for talking with us.

#3  Gee Mr Mayo which president ignored a SCOTUS ruling?
Posted by: Procopius2k || 06/20/2024 8:26 Comments || Top||

#4  If Trump fires a significant number of Federal employees and immediately cuts off Federal welfare $ to the invading force, resistance will be somewhat reduced. Little surprise they're going to continue with lawfare tactics, which should be summarily dismissed (due to 'lack of standing') and the loser hit with attorney's fees.

#8  But the most popular president in history running on immigration and this hot economy should not provoke such fears, verdad?
