The communist regime in North Korea has launched an unconventional yet disgusting attack on its South Korean neighbors.
According to the South Korean military, Kim Jong-un’s henchmen released 260 balloons containing human excrement and other hazardous materials in what they described as an “inhumane and low-level” act.
The balloons reached as far as Jeolla Province, near the southern tip of South Korea’s mainland, meaning they traveled hundreds of miles.
Voice of America reports:
Pictures released by South Korea’s military showed various garbage items, some mixed with an unspecified brown substance, strewn across streets and on what appeared to be front porch areas, including in Seoul, the capital.
In a statement, South Korea’s military said the actions violate international law and seriously threaten public safety.
Overnight Wednesday, text message alerts warned some South Korean residents in border provinces to refrain from outdoor activities because of unknown objects presumedly from North Korea.
The vile and disgusting attack was allegedly a retaliation against a South Korean human rights activist who had used balloons containing anti-North Korean messages to try and spread the truth about the wicked and tyrannical regime.
In a typically bizarre statement released by Kim Jong-un’s sister Kim Yo Jong, the regime said the attack was merely about the North using its “freedom of expression” and represented a “genuine gift of sincerity.”
The statement read:
The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the ROK puppet army said that the DPRK is scattering a large number of balloons over the ROK from last night. It urged the DPRK to stop such an act at once, claiming that it is a clear violation of international law, an act of seriously threatening the security of ROK people and an unethical and lowbrow act.
We have tried something they have always been doing, but I cannot understand why they are making a fuss as if they were hit by shower of bullets. After all, they hoisted a white flag just one day after they themselves have been exposed to the despicable article-scattering which the DPRK has called into question and demanded a stop for years.
…
They should continue to pick up rubbish scattered by our people, regarding them really as “sincere presents” to the goblins of liberal democracy who are crying for the “guarantee for freedom of expression”.
Such reports come as North Korea continues to advance its nuclear weapons program to protect itself against the Western alliance. Just this week, the regime fired a long-range missile towads Japan, although it exploded shortly after takeoff.

Joe Biden, refusing to take any questions from the media, shuffled out of the White House looking confused and saying ‘What?’ with his hands as he departed for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Biden has not spoken to the press in months.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Joe “You Aint Black” Biden will make a pitch to black voters in Philadelphia this afternoon and announce a “Black Voters for Biden-Harris” initiative. Ahead of the event, the Biden campaign accused Donald Trump of “running on an anti-Black agenda.”

It can be recalled that racist Joe Biden was close to KKK Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd and even attended his funeral. And don’t forget about Joe Biden’s famous 1993 speech when he called blacks “predators.”
Racist Joe Biden’s stop in Philly to appeal to black voters comes as a Philadelphia Inquirer/New York Times/Siena College poll earlier this month shows Biden losing support among young, Black, and Hispanic voters and losing by 3% in Pennsylvania.
This afternoon, as he left the White House to campaign in Philadelphia, Biden shuffled out of the White House dazed and confused.

“It’s been months since we heard from the President directly answering questions from the press,” said Monica on X:

“We haven’t heard from him in months. It’s rare that he ever stops to talk to the press on the South Lawn, and he rarely takes questions even when he does give press conferences,” Monica told The Gateway Pundit.
The Gateway Pundit reported last month on Biden’s refusal to speak to the press ahead of the 2024 election and amid growing concerns over his cognitive abilities. Biden still has not held a single news conference in 2024.
Even far-left outlets like the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, CNN, and other leftwing mainstream media outlets are unable to get Biden to sit down with them, according to a statement from The New York Times blasting Biden for “systematically avoiding” them.
More below from OANN’s Monica Paige:
Paige: The Biden administration’s silent war on a free and fair press appears to be coming to light. It seems other outlets and reporters are finally getting a taste of what it’s like to be ignored, silenced, and neglected just for trying to do their jobs. Here at One America News, we are no stranger to this type of treatment. One America News not only doesn’t get a seat in the briefing room but doesn’t get called on to ask questions. And emails and letters, oftentimes, go on answered or passed on and likely discarded. But now this kind of treatment is reportedly becoming contagious, bleeding into an unlikely outlet, The New York Times. In a statement this week, the New York Times expressed its growing frustration regarding President Biden’s refusal to sit down for an interview with the outlet and that the President has taken far fewer questions from the press than any one of his predecessors. “It should be troubling that President Biden has so actively and effectively avoided questions from independent journalists during his term.” The statement continues, “The President occupies the most important office in our nation, and the press plays a vital role in providing insights into his thinking and worldview, allowing the public to assess his record and hold him to account.”
This very statement summarizes exactly what the true role of a free press is: to allow the public to make informed decisions, hold leaders accountable, and hear a diversity of opinions, all free of government influence. According to the American Presidency Project, Biden, on average, holds 11 news conferences per year. By comparison, President Trump held 22, Obama held more than 20, George W. Bush held more than 25, and Bill Clinton held 24. To date, in 2024, Biden has held zero news conferences. For an administration that originally prided itself on being the most transparent for the American people, the truth for many media outlets, like ourselves, is that we have never been left with more questions than answers and left in the dark about our country.

Biden/Harris “Rally” goers
In a bizarre move, the Biden campaign rolled out Elmo from Sesame Street and a marching band ahead of a rally with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to woo black voters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Joe “You Aint Black” Biden is making a pitch to black voters in Philadelphia this afternoon and announce a “Black Voters for Biden-Harris” initiative. Ahead of the event, The Biden campaign accused Donald Trump of “running on an anti-Black agenda.”

Apparently, this was “Philly Elmo,” a local internet sensation who is often seen marching at protests and other events.
Biden has posted about Elmo on X once before, quoting the furry red monster from Sesame Street:
I know how hard it is some days to sweep the clouds away and get to sunnier days.
Our friend Elmo is right: We have to be there for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need, and above all else, ask for help when we need it.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton unloads on the “evil” DOJ and “Gestapo” FBI.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to discuss the Texas primary election results on Tuesday.
Paxton celebrated the victory of 24 or 25 pro-MAGA candidates in the Texas GOP primaries last night. Paxton also called on an end of the open primary in Texas after Democrats were able to win out seats for RINO candidates like controversial Texas Speaker Dade Phelan.
Ken Paxton then went on to the describe the depths of corruption in the US Department of Justice and FBI.
AG Ken Paxton: This is what happened to me three and a half years ago. Actually, I got a referral from the Travis County district attorney to investigate the FBI and Department of Justice for Corruption, for violating state and federal law. I started that process only to find that the FBI knew about it before I did. They knew about the the referral before I did, and they were already in my office threatening people and scaring the heck out of all of them. And so that’s how the whole coup in my office happened. It was over that issue because I told my staff, we are investigating them. I don’t care what they do to us. If we can’t stand up to the FBI and Department of Justice when they are committing crimes, and they are committing crimes, if I could have finished this investigation, we would have found it and we would have at least exposed it, even though we would have had to get authority to prosecute it.
I guarantee you, they don’t follow any rules anymore. They don’t follow the Constitution. It’s really hard to hold them accountable when they could turn an investigation on me My investigation to them and it went into an investigation on me, and that’s exactly what happened to me.
Steve Bannon: Hang on. I want to go back and hit rewind on this. We’re sitting here in the day after this historic runoff that came from a historic primary, that came from a historic impeachment that’s basically brought to the attention of people How the Bush establishment still runs Texas, although it’s a mega state. You’re saying that this all began years before when you got information that you should start an investigation of the FBI or had to start an investigation of the FBI, and then they came immediately. They knew beforehand.
Ken Paxton: …So I track it down, and I’m told by my head of law enforcement, I’m told by my top guys, we’re not investigating them. And I said, why? And they said, because law enforcement cannot commit a crime. And I said, what do you mean? We don’t investigate law enforcement because it’s not possible for them to commit a crime. That was what I was told by David Maxwell, who was head of my law enforcement… Then I went to my first assistant, and I said, we got to fire that guy. And he goes, I can’t. I said, why? He said, because he threatened me. And he said, if I did what you want me to do, if I investigated them, they It’s going to come after me. Like the FBI and Department of Justice are going to come after you…
…That’s when the guys in my office filed a complaint against me, saying I had committed a federal crime, but they never said what it was. And then supposedly because of that complaint, they could do whatever they wanted in my office and I couldn’t get rid of them. And that has led to the FBI investigating me, saying that I don’t have the right to fire these people. That’s a federal crime, and now I’ve committed a crime. And that’s what I’ve been dealing with for the last four years, these people harassing me…
…And the downside of all this is the truth never came out. We never got to finish the investigation. And I guarantee you, if we could have finished that investigation, we would have found that the FBI doesn’t follow this Constitution. They don’t give search warrants like they’re supposed to. They go in and do their investigation, and they issue search warrants later after the fact. They violate the Constitution, and then they altered government record, which is a violation of state law. But I never got to that because the Travis County DA, when this all blew up, pulled it. And those guys in my office turned me in so that suddenly I became the subject of an investigation. And that’s what happens when you go after a Russian at the FBI and the Department of Justice.
Steve Bannon: So what is there to be done?… What’s to be done by law-buying citizens? Why are more AGs not stepping up to this? They’ve turned into a Gestapo, an American Gestapo. The DOJ is just as corrupt with Lisa Monaco, Matthew Colangelo, Mary Garland, all of it. What is to be done by average citizens?
AG Ken Paxton: Steve, I’m telling you, they are the Gestapo. We’re in Venezuela. We might as well be in China. We might as well be in Germany during the ’30s and ’40s. It is corrupt. It is the Gestapo. They don’t follow any laws anymore, and no one can stop them. And because of what happened to me, these other AGs are afraid to do anything anyway. So there’s a lot of fear because what can you do? How do you stop them?
And I think that the exposure of this case where this judge is unredacting all of this stuff. We’ve got to have more exposure. And then second, we got to have a president who will come in, bring in an Attorney General that will take these guys out and make sure that the corruption is eliminated and that we start over.
You’re right. When I heard you say, We need to start over, because right now, they were formed. The FBI was formed to go after organized crime. The problem with that now is they are organized crime. They’re paid for by taxpayer dollars. They have become organized crime…
…It would be better to have nothing right now. Everybody’s like, Well, what about crime? They’re not there to stop crime anymore. They’re a political organization designed to persecute people like you and me. And so it would be better not to have anything than to have that. So, yes, you have to take it to the ground and start over. I don’t know any other way because there’s so much corruption and it’s been so built up by so many other people for so long. I don’t know how you figure out who’s doing all the bad stuff unless you just… Because you don’t have a lot of time. You got to do it fast and you just got to start over with something else.

Justice Samuel Alito refused a demand by Democrat senators that he recuse himself from any Supreme Court cases involving the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, Trump immunity and 2020 election over flags flown at his residential and vacation homes.

Democrat Senators Dick Durbin (IL), the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (RI), Subcommittee on Federal Corts chairman, had written to Chief Justice John Roberts on May 23 demanding he force Alito to recuse from the cases.
Alito’s letter goes into detail about his wife flying an upside-down American flag at their Northern Virginia home in January 2021 over a dispute with her liberal neighbors neighbors. The dispute has gone on for years, with the neighbors protesting in front of Alito’s home after the June 2022 Dobbs decision returning abortion laws to the states.
“Ms. Baden and her husband protested outside Justice Alito’s home after the court issued the opinion he had written overturning Roe v. Wade. Credit…via Emily Baden” via NY Times, May 28, 2024.
The Alito letter also described his wife’s flying an ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Revolutionary War flag at their family vacation home on Long Beach Island, New Jersey in the summer of 2023.
Image via NY Times article on Alito vacation home flag.
The flag flying controversy was manufactured by the New York Times in what has become a traditional liberal springtime offensive on Republican nominees on the court. The Washington Post had asked Mrs. Alito about the upside-down flag in 2021 and determined it was not a story as it was a dispute between Mrs. Alito and her neighbors.
NY Times articles:
May 16: At Justice Alito’s House, a ‘Stop the Steal’ Symbol on Display
May 22: Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another Alito Home
May 28: The Alitos, the Neighborhood Clash and the Upside-Down Flag
Alito’s letter:
Dear Senators Durbin and Whitehouse:
This is in response to your letter of May 23 to the Chief Justice requesting that he take steps to ensure that I recuse in Trump v. United States, No. 23-939, and any other cases “related to the 2020 presidential election” or “the January 6th attack on the Capitol”) As the Court has pointed out, “[ijndividual Justices, rather than the Court, decide recusal issues.” I am therefore responding directly to your letter. In it, you claim that two incidents involving the flying of flags created an appearance of impropriety that requires my recusal.
‘The applicable provision of our Code of Conduct states as follows:
“B. DISQUALIFICATION.
(1) A Justice is presumed impartial and has an obligation to sit unless disqualified.
in which the Justice’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, that is, where an unbiased and reasonable person who is aware of all relevant circumstances would doubt that the Justice could fairly discharge his or her duties.” Code of Conduct for Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, Canon
3B) (1)-(2)
The two incidents you cite do not meet the conditions for recusal set out in (B)(2), and I therefore have an obligation to sit under (B) (1).
The first incident cited in your letter concerns the flying of an upside-down American flag outside the house in Virginia where my wife and I reside. In
1Letter from R. Durbin & S. Whitehouse to C. J. Roberts (May 23, 2024) * Attachmentto lotter from THE CHIEF JUSTICE to R. Durbin (Apr. 25, 2023); Commentary to Code of Conduct for Justices ofthe Supreme Courtofthe United States 11 (Nov. 13, 2023).
considering whether this event requires recusal, an unbiased and reasonable person would take into account the following facts. As I have stated publicly, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of that flag. I was not even aware of the upside- down flag until it was called to my attention. As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused.
My wife and I own our Virginia home jointly. She therefore has the legal right to use the property as she sees fit, and there were no additional steps that I could have taken to have the flag taken down more promptly.
My wife’s reasons for flying the flag are not relevant for present purposes, but I note that she was greatly distressed at the time due, in large part, to a very nasty neighborhood dispute in which I had no involvement. A house on the street displayed a sign attacking her personally, and a man who was living in the house at the time trailed her all the way down the street and berated her in my presence using foul language, including what I regard as the vilest epithet that can be addressed to a woman.
My wife is a private citizen, and she possesses the same First Amendment, rights as every other American. She makes her own decisions, and I have always respected her right to do so. She has made many sacrifices to accommodate my service on the Supreme Court, including the insult of having to endure numerous, loud, obscene, and personally insulting protests in front of our home that continue to this day and now threaten to escalate.
I am confident that a reasonable person who is not motivated by political or ideological considerations or a desire to affect the outcome of Supreme Court cases would conclude that the events recounted above do not meet the applicable standard for recusal. I am therefore required to reject your request.
The second incident concerns a flag bearing the legend “An Appeal to Heaven” that flew in the backyard of our vacation home in the summer of 2023. I recall that my wife did fly that flag for some period of time, but I do not remember how long it flew. And what is most relevant here, I had no involvement in the decision to fly that flag.
My wife is fond of flying flags. I am not. My wife was solely responsible for having flagpoles put up at our residence and our vacation home and has flown a wide variety of flags over the years. In addition to the American flag, she has flown other patriotic flags (including a favorite flag thanking veterans), college flags, flags supporting sports teams, state and local flags, flags of nations from which the ancestors of family members came, flags of places we have visited, seasonal flags, and religious flags. 1 was not familiar with the “Appeal to Heaven” flag when my wife flew it. She may have mentioned that t dates back to the American Revolution, and T assumed she was flying it to express a religious and patriotic message. I was not aware of any connection between this historic flag and the “Stop the Steal Movement,” group, and the use of an old historic flag by a new group does not necessarily drain that flag of all other meanings.
As T said in reference to the other flag event, my wife is an independently ‘minded private citizen. She makes her own decisions, and I honor her right to do so. Our vacation home was purchased with money she inherited from her parents and is titled in her name. It is a place, away from Washington, where she should be able to relax.
A reasonable person who is not motivated by political or ideological considerations or a desire to affect the outcome of Supreme Court cases would conclude that this event does not meet the applicable standard for recusal. Iam therefore duty-bound to reject your recusal request.
Sincerely yours,
Samuel Alito
On Wednesday, the New York Times reported Alito’s hateful neighbors called police on Mrs. Alito (excerpt):
The police in Fairfax County, Va., received an unusual phone call on Feb. 15, 2021. A young couple claimed they were being harassed by the wife of a Supreme Court justice.
“Somebody in a position of authority needs to talk to her and make her stop,” said the 36-year-old man making the complaint, according to a recording of the call reviewed by The New York Times. The officer on the line responded that there was little the police could do: Yelling was not a crime.
The couple placed the call after a series of encounters with Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., that had gone from uneasy to ugly. That day, Emily Baden, whose boyfriend (now husband) contacted the police, had traded accusations with Mrs. Alito, who lived down the street. In a recent interview, Ms. Baden admitted to calling her a lewd epithet.
