Earlier this week, video of the leader of the Democrat LGBTQ Diversity Council Chair, Michael Knaapen, attempting to solicit violent sex from what he believed to be a 14-year-old boy was released by Predator Poachers’ Alex Rosen.

The disturbing 50-minute confrontation and was released here.  The remarks from Knaapen’s alleged conversation with a 14-year-old are extremely graphic and incredibly disturbing.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Knaapen visited the White House last year on three occasions and was allegedly a guest at Vice President Kamala Harris’s house during a ‘Pride’ event recently.

Several claims were going around on social media that Knaapen was pictured in the above photo with Lincoln Project co-founder, Rick Wilson.

However, that is not Michael Knaapen.  According to a post on X, that is co-founder of Christians Against Trumpism and Political Extremism, Joel Searby.

The “Christians Against Trumpism” co-founder is facing charges for lewd/lascivious conduct, two counts of obscene communications related to luring a minor to meet for sex, and using a two-way communications device to facilitate a felony.

Searby allegedly contacted his teenage victim on the Snapchat app on June 19th. He was identified by a contact in the boy’s phone that was linked to Searby’s Snapchat account.

An Alachua County Sheriff’s deputy said that several pictures also clearly showed Searby’s face.

The alleged conversation quickly turned into what many consider ‘grooming.’  The Alachua Chronicle reports:

Searby then allegedly told the boy about a “secret crush” he had in high school with a man in his 40s: “Eventually we got a chance to be alone and he made a move on me to kiss me and I liked it. Then we did more stuff in secret whenever we could. He kinda like taught me stuff. It was fun… Don’t regret it lol. What you think?”

Searby allegedly asked the victim if he would ever do something like that and went into more detail about his sexual experiences with the older man while he was in high school, including oral sex.

Searby allegedly sent a shirtless photo of himself and asked the victim for a photo: “Sending me a pic of you helps me know I can trust you. But no pressure.”

Searby allegedly asked the victim if he would be willing to “just try stuff and you could say yes or no? Like I could walk you through it… That’s how it was for me with the guy when I was younger… I’m super secret I have to know you will keep it between us. It’s a huge deal.”

Searby then allegedly asked if the victim could come over to his house the next morning and help him with something. Searby allegedly sent another photo, showing a bulge in his underwear, and later sent two more shirtless photos. He told the victim that if he came over, they could do “some of what I described before” and reiterated that he had to “KNOW that you will keep it our secret. Forever… But as [sic] could both get in trouble if anyone finds out. Especially me. And NO ONE knows.”

At that point, a sheriff’s deputy took over the conversation from the victim’s side and asked Searby to send a fake text message that the boy could show his parents to justify him going over.

Searby obliged and wrote, “Hey bud hope all is well!  Are you able to come help me this morning by chance?  Have some things to move and a couple big limbs and need a hand.  Let me know.  Thanks!  Would probably take an hour or a little more.”

The deputy then asked Searby, “When you mentioned yesterday about jerking off.  Is that all we would be doing?”

Searby told him they could “take it one step at a time” and that they could stop if he started doing anything he didn’t want to do.

“I’ll walk you through it.”

Joel Searby was the chief strategist for Evan McMullin’s 2016 presidential campaign.

He was just arrested in Florida for allegedly soliciting sex from a teen boy.

Earlier this week, The Federalist and Red State writer Chad Felix Greene posted a long thread on X today documenting his personal experience and his ideas about certain mindsets in the LGBTQ community regarding adults ‘grooming’ minors.

Greene includes several relevant articles and personal reflections about the exploitation of minors by “leftwing progressives.”  Searby, however, was a so-called “long-time Republican political operative” and claims to be a “Christian.”

Every man I had sex with when I was 14 knew I was 14 beforehand.

LGBTQ culture has no socially imposed boundaries on it. They don’t police themselves. They are too consumed with protecting their political causes and shaming rightwing bigots.

Teen sex work is the norm in LGBTQ…

A pregnant Massachusetts woman who previously accused three Stoughton police officers of sexually abusing her when she was just 13 years old may have been killed despite her death initially being ruled a suicide.

Sandra Birchmore’s death was officially ruled a suicide by a Massachusetts state medical examiner after Birchmore’s body was found hanging in her apartment in 2021.

Now, a pathologist hired by Birchmore’s family has refuted the state medical examiner’s report.

Former New York City chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden, in his investigation into Birchmore’s death, concluded, “Ms. Birchmore did not die of suicidal hanging … The cause of Ms. Birchmore’s death is ‘Strangulation,’ and the manner of death is ‘Homicide.’”

Police Chief Donna McNamara said, “While I am not a trained medical examiner, and I am not qualified to draw any direct conclusions, the findings certainly warrant further examination at the highest level.”

Per The New York Post:

A pregnant Massachusetts woman who accused three cops of grooming and sexually abusing her as a teenager did not commit suicide and may have been killed, a high-profile pathologist hired by her family has claimed.

Sandra Birchmore’s death had been ruled a suicide by a state medical examiner after the 23-year-old was found hanging in her Canton apartment back in February 2021.

The medical examiner and investigators had said at the time that the young woman’s autopsy — which also determined she was three months pregnant — had shown no evidence of foul play.

But former New York City chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden, who was hired by her family amid an ongoing civil legal battle against the three cops, has since rejected those findings, the Boston Globe reported.

“I must disagree,” Baden wrote in a June 18 letter to a lawyer for Birchmore’s estate.

“Ms. Birchmore did not die of suicidal hanging … The cause of Ms. Birchmore’s death is ‘Strangulation’ and the manner of death is ‘Homicide.’”

CBS reported in 2022, an internal investigation by the Stoughton Police Department discovered three of its officers sexually abused Sandra Birchmore.

New FOIA emails obtained by Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch show the CIA panicking and making sure all hands were on deck to stop the Hunter Biden laptop from hell spreading like wildfire shortly before the 2020 election.

In October of 2020 – just days before the presidential election – 51 former intelligence officials signed and published a letter that baselessly decried the contents of Hunter’s ‘laptop from hell’ had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

This was a lie.  They all knew it was a lie. The fake news media ran with the story anyway.

Mike Morell, former CIA acting director under Obama immediately sent out an email making sure the infamous Hunter laptop letter by the 51 spies who lied was approved.

“This is a rush job, as it needs to get out as soon as possible,” Morell wrote in an email on Monday, October 19, 2020, at 6:36 a.m., to the CIA’s Publications Classification Review Board (PCRB) with a copy to Marc Polymeropoulos, a former CIA senior intelligence officer.

Judicial Watch reported:

Judicial Watch announced today that it received eight pages of records from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) showing Mike Morell, former acting CIA director under President Obama, requesting CIA permission to publish a letter by former intelligence community leaders stating that they believed the laptop emails exposing Hunter Biden’s connections to Ukraine were Russian disinformation. Morrell’s request for prepublication review was approved in just six hours by the CIA.

“This is a rush job, as it needs to get out as soon as possible,” Morell wrote in an email on Monday, October 19, 2020, at 6:36 a.m., to the CIA’s Publications Classification Review Board (PCRB) with a copy to Marc Polymeropoulos, a former CIA senior intelligence officer.

This was five days after the New York Post published an article on the Hunter Biden emails, three days before a Donald Trump/Joe Biden debate, and 15 days before the presidential election.

The “Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails” is included in the records. It states in part:

We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement — just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.

At 8:01 a.m. the same day, an unnamed CIA official sent Morell’s request to an official whose name is also redacted:

Below is a high profile/high alert action item for 19 October:

Former DDCIA Michael Morell submitted for review the attached manuscript (“Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails”). Mr. Morell has advised us that this article was co-authored with former DO officer Marc Polymeropoulos and that “many former senior and working-level officials from across the IC will sign and then be made public. PCRB has determined that this manuscript contains no classified information.” [Emphasis in original]

At 11:44 a.m., five hours and eight minutes after Morrell sent his request, a person whose name is redacted sends an email stating:

You may notify former DDCIA [Deputy Director] Morell.

At 12:44 p.m. an official whose name is redacted emails Morell:

Dear Michael,

The Prepublication Classification Review Board completed its review of your article titled “Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails.” The Board determined that it contains no classified information and can be published. Agency approval for publication of this material does not represent Agency endorsement or verification of this work.

If you add new material, please resubmit it before sharing, highlighting the new language to expedite our review. The PCRB appreciates your cooperation with prepublication review. You may reach out to us via [redacted] with questions or concerns.

Kind regards, PCRB Staff

“These documents are astounding. That the CIA would turn around a campaign document like this for Joe Biden’s team in six hours is insane news,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “This seems to be demonstrable campaign interference by the CIA, and that should be alarming to all Americans.”

Joe Biden was last seen in public a week ago when he flew from Delaware to Maryland to spend a week of debate prep at the presidential retreat Camp David located in Catoctin Mountain Park. When asked how debate prep was going, Biden gave reporters a thumbs up as he walked to board Air Force One in Wilmington last Thursday evening.

Biden and President Trump will face off tomorrow night in Atlanta at a debate hosted by CNN. In contrast to Biden’s seclusion, Trump has traveled the country, giving speeches, holding a rally, attending fundraisers and mingling with the public in unscripted settings.

Biden landed at an airport in Hagerstown, Maryland Thursday evening where he was filmed shuffling across the tarmac to Marine One for the ride to Camp David. That is the last time Biden has been seen in person by the public or via photos or video.

Curiously, neither the White House nor the Biden campaign has released any new photos or video of Biden in the past week, let alone arranged a brief public viewing.

M.J. Lee, a reporter with debate host CNN, reported Monday that Biden was working late into the evening on debate prep and eating lasagna, “President Biden and his team of advisers at Camp David are still in debate prep and have yet to break for the day, per a senior adviser.
Dinner tonight was lasagna.”

ABC News reported last Friday Biden would be practicing standing for ninety minutes during debate prep sessions:

The Biden campaign gave a story to the New York Times published Tuesday about Biden’s debate prep based on descriptions provided by Biden’s debate team. The article was not illustrated with any visuals of Biden at Camp David (excerpt):

WASHINGTON — At Camp David, a movie theater and an airplane hangar have been outfitted with lights and production equipment to create a mock debate stage. At least 16 current and former aides, summoned from Washington and Wilmington, Delaware, whiz back and forth on golf carts to join President Joe Biden in strategy sessions.

Biden is entering his fifth day of preparations at the presidential retreat in the woods of northern Maryland for Thursday’s debate against Donald Trump. Camp David has become the epicenter for an administration and campaign effort to help Biden shake off the rust that often comes with being an incumbent on the defense, and combat widespread voter concerns that he is too old to be an effective president.

According to people familiar with the planning at Camp David who were not authorized to speak publicly about it, the workdays vary in length and are not rigidly structured. Biden and his most trusted advisers work on what they think would be best to refine or practice in the moment.

…They are all trying to game out exactly which attacks Trump might launch at Biden, which of Biden’s policies Trump could try to undermine, and how they can best keep the president focused on landing an argument and striking a character and policy contrast with Trump.

…Biden’s advisers say the setting itself will help highlight Trump’s weaknesses, and allow the president to combat the idea — presented in a slew of misleading videos — that he is bumbling in public. Biden and Trump will meet in a closed studio in Atlanta with no live audience. Each candidate’s microphone will be muted when it is not his turn to speak.

The Trump campaign poked fun at Biden’s seclusion with a graphic posted Wednesday suggesting he is getting medically juiced for the debate.

Other presidents have retreated to Camp David for debate prep, the AP reported this month (excerpt):

Camp David, located in the Catoctin Mountains northwest of Washington, is no stranger to presidents prepping for the debate stage. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan went there to ready themselves for debates during their reelection campaigns, as did George H.W. Bush before a debate in 1992.

President Barack Obama visited Camp David before his final debate with Republican Mitt Romney in 2012. Biden himself used the presidential retreat to prepare for his State of the Union address in February.

Reuters reported in 2012 that Barack Obama made public appearances during his debate prep (excerpt):

Obama is spending the days ahead of the second debate at a resort in Williamsburg, Virginia, a battleground state that both candidates want to win in order to be victorious on November 6.

During a quick stop at a local campaign office, where he delivered pizzas to volunteers and called supporters by phone, Obama had an enthusiastic take on his practice sessions.

“It is going great,” Obama told reporters.

Before his debate in Denver, Obama held a similar “debate camp” in the swing state of Nevada. During a visit to a campaign office there, he called the practice sessions “a drag.”

That attitude may have shown through on stage. His performance was widely panned as passive, and Romney’s energetic showing gave his campaign a significant lift.

Unlike Biden, team Obama released a photo of Obama during debate preparation:

CNN posted a photo of debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash at the debate site Wednesday:

The post What Are They Hiding? No Photos, Videos or Sightings of Biden During Week of Debate Prep at Camp David appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has funneled millions of dollars to law firms deeply engaged in a relentless lawfare campaign against President Donald Trump.

The information was exposed through a thorough review of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records by the Daily Caller.

According to the FEC filings, the DNC has paid close to $2 million since August 2021 to Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP for ‘legal services’. The founding partner of this firm, Roberta A. Kaplan, is known for representing E. Jean Carroll in her sexual assault and defamation suits against Trump. It’s worth noting that from its inception in 2017 until August 2021, the DNC had not paid this firm for any services.

The timing and nature of these payments raise eyebrows, given that Joshua Matz, another partner at Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP, served as counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during both of Trump’s impeachment trials.

It should be noted that both Judge Kaplan and Roberta Kaplan, who are not related, previously worked together at the same prestigious law firm in the early 1990s, The Gateway Pundit previously reported.

This connection was uncovered by The New York Post columnist Charles Gasparino, following a tip that Judge Kaplan was once a mentor to Roberta Kaplan.

From 1992 until 2016, Roberta Kaplan was associated with the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison. During this time, Judge Lewis Kaplan also held a position as a partner at the same firm.

Judge Kaplan served as a partner until his appointment to the federal bench in 1994, while Roberta Kaplan worked there until 2016 before founding her own firm, Kaplan Hecker & Fink.

Adding to the controversy, it was revealed that Shawn Crowley, one of Carroll’s lead counsels, is reported to have served previously as a law clerk for Judge Kaplan. Furthermore, it has been disclosed that the judge co-officiated Crowley’s wedding.

Moreover, FEC filings reviewed by the Daily Caller reveal that the DNC has also paid several million dollars to Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP since 2021. This firm has a long history of representing the DNC and has filed numerous Amicus briefs in the United States v. Donald Trump case currently before the Supreme Court.

This revelation directly contradicts a statement made by DNC spokesperson Alex Floyd in April, asserting that “the DNC does not spend a single penny of grassroots donors’ money on legal bills.”
