Geraldo Rivera has stated that he wants to “punch Stephen Miller in the nose” over his immigration policies.

Miller will serve as Donald Trump’s homeland security advisor and deputy chief of staff for policy.

Rivera was discussing Trump’s immigration policies on The Beat on MSNBC when he brought up his violent fantasy about Miller.

“The Trump transition team wants to do what they call a D.C.-area showcase immigration raid in the first days,” host Ari Melber told Rivera.

Melber continued, “[T]his would be a quote, ‘high-profile raid targeting undocumented immigrants in its initial days…’ I’m curious what you think of this because I’ve covered this. I’ve had Stephen Miller on the show. I think we can stipulate that there are debates about immigration in this country and undocumented immigration has been rising. And there’s a question about how to deal with that in a holistic way that is humane, but protects national security.”

“You know, I’m an old man now,” Rivera replied. “I’ve been a boxer all my life. I’ve given it up because of my frailty. But I would come back to punch Stephen Miller in the nose because he is the most hideous in terms of his policy.”

Rivera continued, “I don’t know the guy personally. In terms of his policy, he is absolutely draconian. He’s the definition of it. He doesn’t want to resolve the issue. He wants to scapegoat certain people that will in his mind… would resound favorably to President Trump.”

“He prides himself on being a dealmaker,” Rivera said. “He did it in his other life when I knew him better. Now make a deal.”

This is not the first time in recent months that Rivera has sounded completely unhinged on live television.

In November, Rivera claimed that he “threw up in his mouth” upon learning of President-elect Trump’s nomination of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General.

“When I heard that Matt Gaetz was picked to be attorney general, I threw up in my mouth,” Rivera told NewsNation host Leland Vittert. “I think it is a horrible, creepy choice. I have no idea why he did it.”

Matt Gaetz is a douche. So bad for Attorney General. Gross.

A statewide grand jury has concluded its investigation into COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers, determining that there was no indictable criminal activity.

This decision comes as a bitter pill for countless families who have suffered from vaccine injuries and adverse effects—an outcome many see as another example of Big Pharma’s iron grip on the system.

In December 2022, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) called on a statewide grand jury to investigate COVID vaccine-related injuries.

“I’m announcing a petition with the Supreme Court of Florida to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate any and all wrongdoing in Florida with respect to Covid vaccines,” DeSantis said during a Covid vaccine accountability roundtable.

“We anticipate that we will get the approval for that, that will be something that will be impaneled most likely in the Tampa Bay area and that will come with legal processes that will be able to get more information and to bring legal accountability for those who committed misconduct,” DeSantis added.

A week later, the Florida Supreme Court approved Gov. DeSantis’ request to impanel a grand jury to investigate COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers.

“A statewide grand jury shall be promptly impaneled for a term of twelve calendar months, to run from the date of impanelment, with jurisdiction throughout the State of Florida, to investigate crime, return indictments, make presentments, and otherwise perform all functions of a grand jury with regard to the offenses stated herein,” the order read.

Last year, the statewide grand jury, usually comprised of 18 people and selected through a random process akin to that of any legal jury, published an interim report.

Florida Grand Jury Releases Interim Report on COVID-19 Response Including COVID Vaccines, Says Response May Have Caused More Harm Than Good

Now on Tuesday, the Twenty-Second Statewide Grand Jury has concluded its investigation into COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers, finding "no evidence of criminal activity."

Gov. Ron DeSantis released the following statement on Tuesday:

"This morning, the Twenty-Second Statewide Grand Jury released its final report. This Grand Jury was tasked with investigating vaccine manufacturers and their production process for vaccines following the COVID-19 pandemic.

While we are still reading through the report and its recommendations, it details that, through deception and taking “advantage of scientific journal infrastructure” to hide adverse events from the public, Big Pharma engaged in a "pattern of deceptive and obfuscatory behavior." Big Pharma brought in billions of dollars in profit, and the federal government amplified bogus “studies,” all while suppressing any opposition that went against their preferred narrative. Instead of federal agencies acting as a backstop to bad incentives, they worked closely with Big Pharma as they cut corners, even becoming unpaid advertisers on their behalf.

The Grand Jury also details the frustrations of many, stating, "these sponsors have taken in billions of taxpayer dollars for creating and selling their vaccines; they cannot be sued if something goes wrong with them; they have access to critical information about deaths related to a side effect of their products; and the public does not have access to that information.”

The Grand Jury has made a number of recommendations that should be followed. The status quo cannot continue. The American people deserve transparency on how Big Pharma is using their federal tax dollars, and they deserve regulating entities that operate as watchdogs, not cheerleaders."

The report, spanning over 140 pages, outlines a litany of regulatory shortcuts, compromised safety standards, and conflicts of interest, yet it stops short of recommending any criminal indictments.

Despite uncovering instances of delayed disclosure of adverse events, manipulated safety data, and an alarming lack of transparency, the jury deemed these actions insufficient for criminal prosecution.

The grand jury wrote in its final report:

"While we did not find criminal activity, we did find a pattern of deceptive and obfuscatory behavior on the part of sponsors and regulators that often straddled the line between ethical and unethical conduct.

More importantly, however, not finding any indictable criminal activity does not mean we did not find any problems.

On the contrary, there are profound and serious issues involving the process of vaccine development and safety surveillance in the United States. Some of those are acute, COVID-19-era problems that are unlikely to occur outside the context of another once-in-a­ hundred-year pandemic.  Others, however, are systemic; they will occur over and over until someone fixes them.

Unfortunately, all these complications have something in common: They involve multinational corporations and federal regulators. The ability of sovereign states like Florida to resolve these issues or even influence these entities directly may be limited. This Grand Jury finds itself in the awkward position of advocating for a series of changes to a group of private and public entities who did not ask for them and are unlikely to be particularly interested in adopting them. Still, we feel compelled to point to what we have seen, if only to make the general public aware of the extent to which the massive systems upon which we depend for our health and welfare has failed to serve their interests.

Regarding the clinical trials and pharmacovigilance of MRNA-1273and BNT162b2, it was genuinely striking to us just how many of the problems we found occurred at either the direction or acquiescence of the FDA, CDC and other federal regulators.

Nearly every time we found an issue with MRNA-1273 or BNT162b2, the fingerprints of these agencies were all over the scene, advising that the flagship and surrogate clinical trials be performed in specific ways, authorizing dose after dose and formulation after formulation based on out-of-date immunogenicity comparisons and observational results, and even running interference for sponsors by misleading the American public about validated safety signals.

These regulatory issues are magnified in the context of vaccines, where consumers have effectively zero ability to hold manufacturers legally responsible for their injuries.

Federal injury compensation systems like the ClCP only allow limited recovery, while simultaneously protecting sponsors from the discovery process one would normally use to prove negligence and causation in liability claims involving any other product. Even in cases where compensation is awarded, it is the American taxpayer, not the sponsor, who must pay the claim.

We understand that there is a desire on the part of the government to incentivize innovation in vaccine research and development, but the level of legal protection afforded to sponsors goes far beyond what is necessary to accomplish that goal, prioritizing development at the expense of public safety. We do not believe this system of legal protection is whole without merit, but we also do not believe that the current incentives are structured to maximize the benefit to the consumer so much as they are structured to maximize the benefit to the sponsor."

While the report stops short of declaring explicit criminal wrongdoing, it offers a roadmap for reform, emphasizing the need for greater transparency in clinical trials and stricter enforcement of postmarketing commitments.

The post NO CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS: Florida Grand Jury Finds No Evidence of Criminal Activity by COVID-19 Vaccine Manufacturers appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Former Congresswoman Debbie Lesko, upon taking office as a Maricopa County Supervisor Monday, announced plans to audit Maricopa County’s election system. 

“It is very important to a lot of my constituents,” she said.

This is a major departure from former Maricopa County officials’ stance that the elections are run with integrity despite major issues in the last three elections. Recall that former Maricopa County Chairman Bill Gates, following the 2022 election, which was stolen from Trump-Endorsed statewide candidates like Kari Lake and Abe Hamadeh, said the election “was run extremely well.” This is despite 60% of vote counting machines across Maricopa County breaking down on election day and disenfranchising in-person voters who were mostly Republicans.

This also came after the forensic audit of the 2020 election discovered major discrepancies in ballot chain of custody documentation, mail-in ballot signature verification, and ballot printing, as well as numerous election law violations. While serving in the U.S. House, Lesko was one of the brave 139 Republicans who voted to stop the certification of the stolen 2020 election.

Then, last November, Kari Lake was robbed of victory once again in a race where President Trump and Republicans dominated up and down the ballot. Despite Trump winning the presidential race in Maricopa County by over 70,000 votes, Justin Heap winning the County Recorder’s race by over 80,000 votes, Jerry Sheridan winning the County Sheriff’s race by over 130,000 votes, and other Republicans seeing similar turnout, we’re asked to believe that Kari Lake had a more than 100,000 vote deficit against far-left Democrat Ruben Gallego. The Gateway Pundit reported on the bogus numbers during Maricopa County’s two-week-long vote-counting process that began coming in right when it was believed Lake would take the lead in the race.

Additionally, recall that the top election official in Maricopa County, where over 60% of voters reside, even sued Kari Lake for defamation ahead of the 2024 election, which he oversaw. It was recently revealed in court documents that Richer is a self-proclaimed “anti-MAGA” individual whose life mission, in his own words, is to “make life hell for Kari Lake.” How can anybody trust this guy to run a fair election?

Maricopa County Chairman Thomas Galvin also agreed that the board will audit the election system. However, Galvin is not the best choice to lead this effort as he defended the previous three elections, and he was appointed by former board members, likely because he would not challenge their administration of elections. Galvin was appointed to the board in 2021 after former Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Chucri resigned from office due to The Gateway Pundit’s exclusive reporting on audio tapes where he admitted that the elections are rigged through “multifaceted” election fraud.

Lesko was sworn in as a Supervisor Monday along with Republicans Kate Brophy Mcgee, Mark Stewart, incumbent Thomas Galvin, who was picked to Chair the Board of Supervisors, and Justin Heap as County Recorder. Incumbent Supervisor Steve Gallardo remains the only Democrat election official in Maricopa County.

Incumbent County Attorney Rachel Mitchell and new County Sheriff Republican Jerry Sheridan were also sworn in to serve in their respective roles.

After she was sworn in, Lesko gave a speech outlining her priorities while in office. Among those priorities was election integrity and pushing for a “comprehensive audit of the entire election system in Maricopa County.”

Lesko also said that she and Thomas Galvin had already spoken with the Arizona Senate President, Arizona House Speaker, and the Florida Secretary of State to discuss “the differences between the state’s election system and see if there’s any areas where we can improve.”

WATCH:

Lesko: Another priority is election integrity. It is very important to a lot of my constituents. I will be pushing and have talked to people about it for a comprehensive audit of the entire election system in Maricopa County from a reputable firm.

I’ve already had a conference call; Tom and I have been on it with the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Arizona, and the Florida Secretary of State, where we have discussed the differences between the state’s election system and see if there’s any areas where we can improve.

Lesko told 12 News’ Brahm Resnik that she wants to “make sure that everything is run right” after he questioned her objection to the 2020 election results in Arizona.

Watch below:

Resnik: Four years ago today, you voted to reject Arizona’s election results. A lot of people can hear you talking now and question your motives. What do you say to them?

Lesko: My motives are very pure. I want to make sure that everything is run right… The constituents want to make sure that our election system is reliable, and I am elected, and that was one of my promises, and that’s what I’m following up on.

Galvin: We’re going to look at reputable companies that know what they’re doing that we can have them peek under the hood and say, you can do X, Y or Z better.

In a fiery appearance on The War Room with Natalie Winters, political commentator Mike Cernovich laid bare his frustrations over California’s wildfire devastation and the Democrat lunacy that he believes has driven the state to ruin.

During his rant, Cernovich called on President Donald Trump to intervene in California, urging federal action to restore civil rights, reconstruct the state’s failing infrastructure, and save it from Democrat policies and election fraud.

Cernovich wants the Trump administration to come in and fix all of the election fraud.

In California, voter ID is outlawed, voter rolls are bloated with dead and ineligible voters, and Election Day lasts a month until Democrats can find and manufacture enough ballots to win a race four weeks later.

These aren’t elections. This is organized crime and everyone knows it.

During the segment, Cernovich urged Trump to appoint a “special czar” to take control of California’s election systems and governance.

He even floated the names of Ric Grenell and Nicole Shanahan as potential leaders for this effort.

Mike Cernovich:   The writers and the Hollywood people who live in the Palisades and have profited off of the corruption in California, it’s 70/30 Democrat.

They didn’t want to recall Newsom. They voted for Kamala Harris. My God, imagine if they had gotten their way! They supported Karen Bass. The Kennedy family, City Council members in Santa Monica. They did this. We’re just supposed to pretend like they didn’t. We’re just supposed to say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to bring up the fact that this is a Democrat supermajority. Let’s just kumbayya and pretend like they didn’t do it, didn’t vote for it.’

They did. I don’t want to see people like Maria Shriver showing her face, saying anything. I want to see people saying, What are you talking about? You voted for it. They go, Well, we didn’t vote for fires. Oh, but you voted for Karen Bass instead of Caruso. You voted for people who can’t keep water in fire hydrants!…

…So this is what Democrat supermajority gets us. So that’s the case that I’m making for federal takeover of California.

I know that Trump is being a little cheeky when he talks about Canada being a 51st state, and I think the reaction that Pierre, the Apple leader, and others have is amusing.

But, California is a state. Under the Constitution, there’s a case to be made that the federal government needs to come in to enforce the civil rights of the people to act in a reconstruction kind of manner.

So I want the Trump administration, and I’m a citizen I’ve been a resident in California. I want the Trump administration to exercise its constitutional power to come in and fix all the election fraud. They have this authority.

They have this authority under the 14th Amendment, Section 5. They have the authority to enforce the rights, the civil rights of me, the citizen, which is being deprived by the state government of California, where people can’t trust the elections, where somehow these Orange County Republican areas all went Democrat, even though everywhere else was trending for Trump.

Democrat supermajorities have run a train on this great state. Election results cannot be trusted. Federal oversight is needed. Trump could appoint a special Czar. Ric Grenell and maybe Nicole Shanahan. ???

Full federal authority to clean it up!

Actor James Woods joined Laura Ingraham after the heartbreaking 24 hours he lived through last night as fires swept through his neighborhood in Pacific Palisades and firemen ran out of water in the hydrants.

The incompetence of the lunatic left was on display again this week in California. If only they had real, fair elections, then some of these wackos might be removed from office.

Woods, a rare vocal Republican Hollywood actor, is not yet certain if his home was lost in the fires. He praised his neighbors and community for coming together during the catastrophe.

The Hollywood actor tweeted out a video as he was leaving his home yesterday as the fires had engulfed his neighborhood.

On Wednesday night, he praised his neighbors and then went after the failed California leadership that is destroying the state.

James Woods to Laura Ingraham:  “Laura, with all due respect, if it is true that things were handled this way if it is true that Gavin Newsom is the absolute blithering idiot that I believe he is in the way… This isn’t a wake-up call… This is the kind of thing they have tribunals for.

Well, they try people and say, you had an oath of office to perform certain duties. When you’re the fire chief, this isn’t a social justice exercise that you’re in charge of. This is you getting water to areas that need water because there are fires in a hundred-mile-an-hour winds burning houses to the ground.”
