Former Chief Impact Officer at ActBlue responded to false donations under senior citizens’ names.

The O’Keefe Media Group recently released video of Texas donors shocked by unauthorized donations to Democrat fundraising giant ActBlue.

Several Texas donors were shocked to find out that there were hundreds of donations totaling thousands of dollars to ActBlue in their name.

James O’Keefe previously brought attention to the ActBlue donation mules in a report.

ActBlue responded to a reporter for O’Keefe Media Group.

Via James O’Keefe:

In a recent interview with an OKeefeMedia Citizen Journalist, Geri Prado former Chief Impact Officer at ActBlue, downplayed concerns about the organization’s suspicious fundraising practices. Prado attempted to brush off allegations by describing ActBlue merely as “a payment processor for campaigns, but it’s not a campaign,” and likened it to PayPal, citing credit card fees as a standard issue.

When asked about potential money laundering, Prado dismissed the concern, “No… It’s a very hard thing to do,” downplaying the likelihood of any illegal activity. However, she admits, “There are other problems,” hinting at other issues within the organization.

This comes amidst reports that Federal Election Commission (FEC) records are inaccurately reflecting senior citizens as having made donations far beyond their actual contributions.

A four-star general who was suspended after allegedly putting his hands on the scales concerning the promotion of a favored subordinate is now demanding his command be returned to him, claiming there is racism in these military processes.

Gen. Charles Hamilton, who was the head of U.S. Army Material Command before his March 22 suspension, is now asking to have his command reinstated.

Hamilton was originally suspended after pulling strings in promotion boards for the benefit of a black female lieutenant colonel, an intervention he claims was necessary to ensure fairness in supposedly racist military processes.

“I respectfully ask that you allow me to resume command and continue leading our soldiers and civilians in one of the Army’s most important and impactful commands,” Hamilton wrote to Army Secretary Christine Wormuth in a letter recently obtained by Military.com.

The letter added: “I have been brutally honest about my concerns with the Command Assessment Program’s disparate impact on Black officers.”

The trouble for Hamilton rose to the surface following an investigation by Military.com into the general’s alleged abuse of authority.

The investigative report found Hamilton tried to push the lieutenant colonel through promotion boards by lobbying other generals. When the subordinate officer was found unfit for command by the first panel, Hamilton was able to convince officials to put on a second panel.

Although the panel is supposed to be anonymous, Hamilton seemingly knew who to contact.

“This was a pressure campaign,” a general told Military.com in March. “[Hamilton] has a lot of influence; this violated the integrity of how the best officers are selected to run units.

“This was abnormal; it was unprofessional. He should have known better.”

The candidate officer failed her second panel despite Hamilton’s potential influence.

The board found she was an “ineffective” leader, with a 3-2 vote deciding the matter against her.

In his letter to Wormuth, Hamilton does not deny he contacted members of the promotion board but does dispute that he pressured the top brass for the benefit of his favored candidate.

“It is true,” Hamilton wrote, “I contacted general officers whom I believed were on Command Assessment Program panels.

“However, I never pressured or even asked any of them to deem [the lieutenant colonel] ready for command.”

The Command Assessment Program is structured in a way to prevent and lessen outside influence, with panel members interviewing candidates from behind a curtain. Those running the board are also not given names or photographs of candidate officers.

To back up his claim that he acted appropriately, Hamilton stressed that he did not have final say on the subordinate officer’s candidacy or the panels’ decisions regarding her.

A potentially historic new study has been published in the journal Heritage, placing the biblical mystery that is the Shroud of Turin at the center of controversy once again.

The ancient fabric, also known as the ‘Holy Shroud,’ first emerged in the 15th century and has since been revered by many Christians as the burial cloth that Jesus Christ was wrapped in following his crucifixion.

Imprinted on the linen shroud is the silhouette of a man, who appears to have been subject to the same brutal crucifixion process as Jesus of Nazareth, leading many to believe for centuries that the man on the cloth is Christ Himself.

Previous research seemed to discredit the claims when scientists in the 1980s used carbon dating technology that estimated that the cloth was manufactured during the Middle Ages – much later than the crucifixion and burial of Christ.

However, a new study that was released by Italian scientists suggests that the cloth was likely manufactured approximately 2,000 years ago. If true, this would date it to when Christ walked on earth and could potentially validate previous claims that science had apparently ‘debunked’ decades ago.

In the study, researchers used an X-ray scattering technique to determine that the fabric may have actually been manufactured over 20 centuries ago, stating that they believe the materials were preserved largely due to Europe’s low temperatures. Nevertheless, the latter point needs to be true to confirm their findings. It isn’t much of a stretch, but it also isn’t one hundred percent conclusive.

BREAKING: New Italian X-Ray study of Shroud of Turin CONFIRMS it dates to 2000 years ago

This debunks previous flawed carbon dating

The shroud was scientifically matched to a piece of linen known to date from the siege of Masada in 72 AD https://t.co/khjtKUPSYN pic.twitter.com/REEoyNdfWO

From the study, titled ‘X-ray Dating of a Turin Shroud’s Linen Sample:’

“On a sample of the Turin Shroud (TS), we applied a new method for dating ancient linen threads by inspecting their structural degradation by means of Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS)… We obtained one-dimensional integrated WAXS data profiles for the TS sample, which were fully compatible with the analogous measurements obtained on a linen sample whose dating, according to historical records, is 55–74 AD, Siege of Masada (Israel).

The degree of natural aging of the cellulose that constitutes the linen of the investigated sample, obtained by X-ray analysis, showed that the TS fabric is much older than the seven centuries proposed by the 1988 radiocarbon dating.

The experimental results are compatible with the hypothesis that the TS is a 2000-year-old relic, as supposed by Christian tradition, under the condition that it was kept at suitable levels of average secular temperature—20.0–22.5 °C—and correlated relative humidity—75–55%—for 13 centuries of unknown history, in addition to the seven centuries of known history in Europe.”

Using AI to process the new x-ray analysis, a hyper-realistic image of what Christ would have looked like if the cloth was indeed what he was buried in over 2,000 years ago was produced. It immediately went viral online, racking up millions of views.

Many claim the computer-enhanced image of Jesus from the Shroud of Turin supposedly looks “European” and so can’t be authentic. But note the similarity (allowing for iconographic style) with the Christ Pantocrator icon, which was painted in the 6th century in the Middle East. pic.twitter.com/BHFeqLVbAB

Furthermore, another recent discovery also backed up the study’s conclusions.

In a separate analysis from an engineer at the University of Padua in Italy, the researcher was able to analyze a previous sample of the cloth, discovering that the materials found within it were typical in ancient Jerusalem rather than Europe, where it is believed to have originated from as a forgery. According to the University of  Padua professor, Guilin Fanti, there are also several features imprinted on the shroud that support the claim of it being Christ’s original burial cloth.

He found that the features in the silhouette are strikingly similar to the physical representation of Christ on Byzantine coins. In addition, the analyzed particles have been confirmed by Fanti to be human blood containing two different blood types.

“I would refer to Type A blood as that which came out of the corpse and therefore postmortem blood; it consists of microcytes which indicate the respiratory suffering of Jesus on the cross,”  Fanti told the DailyMail.

“Type B consists of coagulated blood crusts probably formed when Jesus was on the cross or ascended Calvary,” he continued.

The new evidence is a stark contrast to previous studies claiming that the Holy Shroud is a fake that originated hundreds of years after Christ’s crucifixion. The information that has recently been discovered has caused a centuries-long debate to re-emerge regarding the origin of the burial cloth.

This reality incentivizes examination of the relationship between faith and science, particularly from a Christian perspective. Contrary to the popular notion that science provides the definitive answers to life’s biggest questions, the pursuit of knowledge itself is an endeavor that hinges on faith. Just as one must trust in scientific methodologies and the interpretations of scientists, so too must individuals rely on faith to grasp the tenets of any belief system, including Christianity.

Regardless of the scientific discoveries, throughout scripture, we find numerous references to the supremacy of faith over the wisdom of the world. In 1 Corinthians 1:25, the Apostle Paul writes, “For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”

Moreover, the Bible encourages believers to stand firm in their faith even when confronted with conflicting views. Romans 12:2 challenges Christians not to conform to the patterns of this world, which often include an uncritical reverence for scientific authority, but rather to be transformed by the renewing of their minds in submission to the knowledge that is provided by God.

In an age defined by skepticism and uncertainty, Christians can take comfort in the knowledge that their beliefs do not need to be validated by the latest scientific discoveries. Instead, they can rest assured in the truth of Scripture and the unwavering nature of God’s promises.

While we shouldn’t look to scientific studies to confirm our faith in Jesus Christ, it is night when those studies seemingly validate our beliefs.

Special Counsel Jack Smith opted out of holding a ‘mini trial’ before the November election and is ‘carefully revising’ the January 6 case against Trump following the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling according to a leak to Bloomberg.

Jack Smith will not seek a hearing to present evidence and witnesses in the January 6 case against Trump in DC.

Last September Trump was hit with 4 counts in Jack Smith’s January 6 case up in DC: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Trump’s lawyers argued that Trump is immune from federal prosecution for alleged ‘crimes’ committed while he served as US President.

In July the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump has absolute immunity for his core Constitutional powers.

The high court earlier this year also delivered a devastating blow to Biden’s corrupt Justice Department and overturned the obstruction charge used to jail hundreds of January 6 defendants.

The ruling knocked out a substantial part of Jack Smith’s DC case against Trump.

The January 6 case got bounced back to Judge Tanya Chutkan and she granted Jack Smith’s request to delay the case.

A status report is due by August 30 and the status conference is continued until September 5.

In the meantime Jack Smith is revising his case against Trump since there is no chance of going to trial before the presidential election.

Bloomberg reported:

Special Counsel Jack Smith has decided against seeking a major hearing to present evidence in the election-interference case against Donald Trump before voters go to the polls Nov. 5, according to people familiar with the matter.

The move means that it’s unlikely a so-called mini-trial, which would include evidence and testimony from possible blockbuster witnesses like former Vice President Mike Pence, would take place before the presidential election.

Such a hearing would have been the best chance for voters to review evidence about Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election result as he campaigns to regain the White House.

The decision is a win for Trump and his lawyers, who have fought efforts to reveal the substance of allegations against the former president. If Trump wins the election, the case would collapse as the Justice Department has a policy against prosecuting sitting presidents. Trump could also order the department to throw it out.

Instead, Smith and his team are carefully revising the case against Trump, according to the people familiar, who asked not to be named discussing a confidential matter. The case has no chance of going to a jury trial before the election as a result of delays stemming from the Supreme Court’s ruling last month that he has some presidential immunity from criminal charges. If Democratic nominee Kamala Harris wins the election, Smith could still proceed with prosecuting Trump.

President Trump is set to rally in Glendale, Arizona, tonight alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was previously announced as a mystery “special guest” before announcing his withdrawal from the presidential race and endorsement of Trump’s 2024 campaign.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this week, Trump announced that an unnamed guest would join him in a press release. Sources close to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign had reportedly confirmed to Alex Jones that an endorsement of Trump would be made official this Friday.

Other special guest speakers tonight include:

• Charlie Kirk, Founder of Turning Point USA
• Kari Lake, Republican Nominee for US Senate in Arizona
• Abe Hamadeh, Republican Nominee for US Congress, Arizona’s 8th Congressional District
• Justin Heap, Republican Nominee for Maricopa County Recorder
• Andy Biggs, US Representative for Arizona’s 5th Congressional District
• Jerry Sheridan, Candidate for Maricopa County Sheriff
• Eli Crane, US Representative for Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District
• Paul Gosar, US Representative for Arizona’s 9th Congressional District
• Shelli Boggs, Republican Nominee for Maricopa County School Superintendent
• Tyler Bowyer, COO of Turning Point Action, Former COO of Turning Point USA
• Riley Gaines, Former Collegiate Swimmer and Women’s Sports Activist
• Mark Lamb, Sheriff of Pinal County, AZ

Earlier, The Gateway Pundit reported that RFK Jr. addressed the nation during a press conference and endorsed Trump for four more years in the White House. Kennedy also announced that he will partner with President Trump’s administration to fight against Big Pharma.

BREAKING: RFK Jr. Officially Endorses President Trump — Formally Announces He Will Partner with Trump’s Administration

“I want everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign. I am simply suspending it and not ending it. My name will remain on the ballot in most states,” Kennedy stated. He went on to explain that his candidacy will remain an option for voters in blue and red states without the risk of significantly harming or helping either President Trump or Harris.

“If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President Harris. In red states, the same will apply. I encourage you to vote for me.”

Trump's rally with RFK and other special guests will be held at the Desert Diamond Arena. It can be recalled that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz held a rally at the same venue earlier this month with about one-third of the arena’s seating blocked off with curtains. Still, Harris lied and said that her rally was “the largest in Arizona political campaign history.”

Meanwhile, Trump packed the arena with supporters hours before he took the stage.
