On Monday morning, retired Green Beret Master Sergeant Jeremy Brown issued a hopeful statement before President Donald Trump’s inauguration.  MSgt Brown broke his silence after 7 years to say that Trump’s inauguration was “the 6th most important day” of his life, only because he has “five amazing daughters.”  He said he hadn’t felt this much anticipation, uncertainty and suspense since he returned from his first combat deployment as an Army Ranger.

For the first time in 40 months, he felt “HOPE!”

All that came crashing down Monday evening when MSgt Brown was not among all of the J6ers that were pardoned by President Trump’s Executive Order.

The Conclusion of the Jeremy Brown Trial and Why This Trial Will Have Lasting Implications For *ALL* Patriotic Americans

MSgt Brown is in a somewhat unique situation.  He was facing federal charges in two separate districts:  the Middle District of Florida in Tampa and in Washington DC.  The DC trial was over misdemeanor trespass charges for his attendance as security for a speaker at the US Capitol.  He was non-violent and never entered the US Capitol building.

But in September of 2021, after publishing security footage from his home and a personal recording, both of interactions with federal agents from December 2020, MSgt Brown had his home raided in Tampa.  During the hours-long raid, federal agents and local police on the Joint Terrorism Task Force raided his home with a search warrant over misdemeanors allegedly committed in DC.  How law enforcement was able to justify a federal search warrant of his home over 800 miles away from where a misdemeanor trespass occurred should be considered a horrifying violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Imagine a SWAT team showing up to raid your home over a DUI.  Or shoplifting.  Or a bar fight with no serious injuries.  To make matters worse, MSgt Brown had no prior convictions and 20 years of honorable service in the United States Army.

After the FBI raided his home, and turned off all of his 14 security cameras during the entire search providing no transparency or accountability, they found two firearms that violate the National Firearms Act:  a .410 shotgun, an heirloom his grandfather left to his brother who then left it to him when he passed away several years back, and a short barreled rifle similar to the one MSgt Brown carried during his service to this country.

They also allegedly found a CD containing classified information and two M67 fragmentation grenades in his flak jacket inside his RV on his property.  He was ultimately found not guilty of the classified CD because it was not documented very well in the search, the FBI crime scene photographer didn't recall seeing it, and the photograph the FBI had of it was on a table that didn't match any of the furniture in Brown's RV or home.

He was found guilty of the grenades, however.  Each grenade had duct tape wrapped around them to secure the spoon (arming device).  On the tape, forensics found textile fibers, hair, fingerprints and DNA.  After taking samples from every possible location in MSgt Brown's home, from his pets, from himself and his girlfriend, there was no match.

Further, the reports from the Department of Defense that were presented as evidence simply showed that the grenades were in Iraq and Afghanistan, as was MSgt Brown.  They did not, however, disclose the times in order to match them with MSgt Brown's deployments.  And, for anyone who's deployed overseas to a combat zone, they are likely aware of how stringent and thorough the gear checks are when headed back to the states to ensure no contraband is smuggled out of a warzone.

Lastly, MSgt Brown was also found guilty of having a classified document.  However, during the trial, it was revealed that the document was not, in fact, a classified document, but a template that he made up on a non-secure computer using fake data and information he inputted so that when he arrived stateside, he could properly enter the classified information in its place and submit it over secured devices.  For some strange reason, he was found guilty of that charge as well.

Master Sergeant Brown, after 20 years of honorable service in one of the most elite units in our country's Special Forces, has seemingly been forgotten in the broad J6 pardon order because he was not permitted to use January 6th during his trial in Florida, even though he is currently appealing the conviction and using recent Supreme Court precedent in doing so.

Master Sergeant Brown has been in prison for 1209 days as of the writing.

The post The Forgotten: Green Beret Master Sergeant Jeremy Brown Among J6ers Not Eligible Under President Trump’s Pardons appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

President Trump proved once again on Tuesday there is no one better at handling the corporate media, and one woke reporter learned the hard way.

During a press conference on Tuesday at the White House, Trump announced the creation of an American AI company called ‘Stargate.’ This project, launched with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, will invest $500 billion in America and potentially create 100,000 new American jobs.

However, the media had little interest in this and decided to launch attacks on Trump regarding his decision to free the J6 political prisoners. As TGP readers know, Trump on Monday pardoned over 1,500 of these protesters who had suffered unbearable cruelty under the Biden regime. All for the crime of protesting a presidential election at the Capitol.

One so-called ‘reporter’ decided to try to trap Trump with a nasty gotcha question regarding one of the prisoners to humiliate the 47th President.

“You would agree it’s never acceptable to assault a police officer,” the reporter began. “So among those you pardoned, D.J. Rodriguez, he drove a stun gun into the back of a police officer…He later confessed to the FBI on video and pleaded guilty to his crimes.”

“Why does he deserve a pardon?”

Trump saw through the man’s garbage immediately and hit with a quick reality check regarding real violent crimes violent thugs are getting away with in America’s major cities.

“I can say this: murders today are not even charged all over,” Trump replied. “You look at what’s going on in Philadelphia, look at what’s going on in LA, where people murder people, and they don’t get charged.

Trump then pointed out the deplorable in the DC Gulag, where many of the J6 prisoners have been violently assaulted before turning back to crime in the cities.

“These people (the J6ers) have already served years in prison…It’s a disgusting prison, it’s inhumane,” he added. “You go to Portland where they (leftists) whacked police officers and shot police officers, and nothing happened to anybody.”

Trump mentioned the same thing that happened in Seattle before the reporter tried to interrupt. But Trump quickly shut him down and continued.

“Wait a minute,” Trump said. “Take a look at Minneapolis (during the George Floyd riots). If I didn’t bring in the National Guard, that city wouldn’t even exist today…People were killed, and nobody went to jail.

Trump then went back to his decision to pardon the J6 prisoners and took a shot at Biden for pardoning actual violent thugs.

“Joe Biden yesterday gave a pardon to a lot of criminals, Trump stated. “You should be asking: Why did he give a pardon to all these criminals?”

The ‘reporter’ then tried to interrupt Trump again before the president put him in his place one last time.

“Why did he give a pardon to the J6 Unselect Committee when they burned and destroyed all those documents which showed what they did was wrong, not me,” Trump added while holding his hand up to silence the ‘reporter.’ “Wait a minute, why did they (Biden’s handlers) go to all his relatives who made millions of dollars?”

“That’s the question you should be asking?”

Acting FBI Director Paul Abbate abruptly announced his retirement just minutes before Trump was sworn into office on Monday.

FBI Director Christopher Wray recently resigned so his deputy, Paul Abbate, had been expected to replace Wray as Kash Patel awaits his confirmation.

However, Paul Abbate retired after 28 years of service on Monday.

It is unclear who will replace Abbate in the interim.

CBS News reported:

FBI’s longtime deputy director, who had been expected to temporarily replace director Christopher Wray on an acting basis during the transition into the new Trump administration, says he is retiring. Paul Abbate made the unexpected announcement in an email to senior officials Monday ahead of President Trump’s inauguration, CBS News confirmed.

“When the Director asked me to stay on past my mandatory date for a brief time, I did so to help ensure continuity and the best transition for the FBI. Now, with new leadership inbound, after nearly four years in the deputy role, I am departing the FBI today,” Abbate wrote in the letter, according to the Associated Press, which obtained a copy of the email.

Abbate had been running the FBI for only one day after Wray stepped down as director on Sunday. Wray was named by Trump during his first term and had been director for more than seven years. He announced his retirement when Trump said he wanted Kash Patel to be the director.

Abbate’s email did not say who would replace him atop the bureau during the interim. Following the inauguration, the White House posted a list of acting leaders that said Brian Driscoll will serve as head of the FBI until the position is filled.

Recall that Paul Abbate told subordinates at the agency to hide the identities of dozens of January 6 government informants. He said it would be too embarrassing for the agency if the information was leaked out. So they hid this from the American public.

Good riddance.

Taxpayer watchdog organization White Coat Waste (WCW) has unveiled a four-point plan for President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that could save “billions in wasteful government spending and save millions of animals.”

During President Trump’s first term, he shut down many of the worst taxpayer-funded animal experiments from here at home to Wuhan, China, with his Environmental Protection Agency animal testing phaseout.

WCW’s plan involves defunding dog and cat experiments, cutting off Chinese animal labs, restoring Trump’s EPA animal testing phase-out, and abolishing the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Our plan to Make America Greater for Animals

1️⃣Defund dog & cat labs
2️⃣Defund Chinese animal labs
3️⃣Reinstate Trump EPA animal test phaseout
4️⃣Abolish Fauci’s animal labs

Thanks @RepNancyMace @RepNicole @RepMTG @LaraLeaTrump @RepLuna @RepGosar @SenRandPaul for A+ leadership! pic.twitter.com/Am0gi9bCtg

The organization estimates that the United States has spent $4 billion on cruel and wasteful tests on dogs and cats over the past decade. These tests include “NIH’s ongoing $5 million cocaine tests on beagles, its $770,000 treadmill experiments on zombified cats in a Russian lab (that we shut down!), and over $1.5 million it’s squandering to spin kittens around for motion sickness experiments.”

During his first administration, President Trump personally cut Dr. Anthony Fauci’s funding for the Wuhan animal lab after White Coat Waste exposed how much money was being sent there. Unfortunately, dozens of cruel labs are still operating in China on the U.S. taxpayer’s dime. 

WCW recently exposed how a single lab in China has been given $2 million to test on puppies and kittens.

“Another WCW investigation unearthed how the USDA is currently collaborating with Wuhan lab experimenters on a dangerous and inhumane $1 million bird flu gain-of-function project,” WCW said in an explainer about the four-point plan. “The Department of Defense has been funding dangerous virus labs in China, too.”

Biden granted Fauci a preemptive pardon for any crimes he may have committed before leaving office on Monday.

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency chief, Andrew Wheeler, worked with WCW in 2019 to phase out lab testing on mammals by 2035, but Joe Biden eliminated the plan.

“Unfortunately, within months of taking office, the Biden EPA eliminated the plan to end animal tests and retire rabbits,” WCW explained. “Now, the agency is wasting millions to make animals obese and force them to inhale truck exhaust, wildfire smoke, and firearm emissions, and making companies poison puppies with pesticides.  The EPA’s main animal testing lab has an annual budget of over $100 million.”

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) currently has a $6.5 billion annual taxpayer-funded budget. That money is being spent on “maximum pain tick bite experiments on puppies, creating transgender animals, building a dangerous new U.S. bat virus lab, implanting human fetal body parts into lab animals, COVID infection experiments on cats, and confining thousands of primates on Monkey Island for deadly virus experiments,” according to the WCW report.

The agency spent $500,000 to turn monkeys “transgender” to try and figure out why transgender “women,” biological males, experience higher rates of HIV.

Fauci’s NIAID Spent Nearly $500,000 ‘to Turn Monkeys Transgender’

Beyond these horrors, the agency funding gain of function research in Wuhan, which many believe may have been the cause of COVID, should be enough to shut it down entirely.

Wheeler said in a statement provided to Gateway Pundit, “As a lifelong animal lover and President Trump’s EPA Administrator, in 2019 I proudly worked with White Coat Waste to announce a first-of-its-kind plan to responsibly phase out cruel, costly, and ineffective animal testing conducted by and required by the EPA. I was shocked when, instead of attempting to meet my benchmarks for replacing animal testing with superior alternatives, the Biden-Harris Administration completely canceled the plan soon after President Trump and I left office. Reinstating my animal testing phaseout at the EPA is an easy way for the incoming Trump Administration to spare thousands of dogs and other animals from painful experiments, protect public health, save tens of millions of tax dollars. I’m pleased to join White Coat Waste in this effort.”

Sen. Joni Ernst, Reps. Nancy Mace, Greg Steube, Paul Gosar, and Wheeler have endorsed the four-point plan. 

Yes, @LaraLeaTrump!

Roger Stone, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, Lara Trump, Dr. Marty Makary, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. also support the organization's mission.

In an op-ed for Townhall endorsing the plan, Roger Stone wrote, “In his triumphant return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, President Trump is perfectly positioned to pick up where he left off and make even more animal welfare history by cutting reckless spending that hurts animals and taxpayers.”

Anthony Bellotti, Founder and President of government watchdog White Coat Waste Project, said in a statement:

“White Coat Waste’s 100-day plan for Trump will help DOGE ditch billions in wasteful spending on federal fiascos we’ve exposed during the Biden years like Fauci's beagle and kitten labs, NIH's cocaine experiments on puppies, EPA's animal tests for gun control and climate change, transgender mice, and reckless funding for dozens of animal labs in China that torture dogs and play with deadly viruses.  The first Trump administration made historic progress to cut animal tests exposed by WCW including defunding the Wuhan lab that likely caused COVID, shutting down the government’s largest cat lab, cutting dog testing at the VA and launching a landmark initiative to end EPA animal testing. We’re proud to have the support of leading lawmakers, DOGE decision-makers, and Trump allies to keep up this momentum. A growing majority of taxpayers—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike—oppose Uncle Sam’s wasteful, dangerous, and cruel animal experiments at home and abroad and don’t want to be forced to pay billions for these boondoggles. Donald Trump can continue his legacy of Making America Greater for Animals by gutting government animal tests. The solution is simple: Stop the money. Stop the madness!” 

Senate DOGE Caucus Chair Joni Ernst said, “Working with White Coat Waste, I’ve stopped Fauci’s cruel beagle tests, clipped the wings off batty spending at the Wuhan lab, and defunded the mad scientists at EcoHealth Alliance. I’m excited to collaborate with WCW and the Trump administration to stop all wasteful spending in China and end the monkey business. Washington needs to keep its paws off taxpayers’ money.”

Rep. Paul Gosar added, “Since 2019, I’ve been proud to work with White Coat Waste to slash reckless spending by Dr Fauci and others that tortures pets, engineers deadly and incurable viruses, creates transgender lab animals, implants aborted baby parts into “humanized” rodents, and even funds foreign enemies’ animal labs. President Donald Trump can cut billions in spending and Make America Great Again by continuing the outstanding work he started during his first term to stop wasteful, dangerous, and grotesque animal tests."

Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is urging the world to “fight back” against Trump and the “Silicon Valley techno-caste.”

Speaking on Monday as Donald Trump took office for the second time, Sánchez accused American tech billionaires of “trying to use their absolute power over social media to control public debate and, therefore, government action, in the entire Western world.”

“I want to be clear and concise on this, I will say it in less than 280 characters: democracy is not one euro, one vote; it is not one tweet, one vote; it is one person, one vote,” He continued.

”Therefore, Europe must stand up to this threat and defend democracy,” he said.

While Musk did not name any of the tech moguls by name, it was an obvious reference to Elon Musk, who has infuriated left-wing establishments around the world by purchasing Twitter and ending the censorship regime implemented under its previous leadership.

Sanchez also complained about the influence of the “international far-right” represented by leaders such as Argentina’s Javier Milei and Hungary’s Viktor Orban, whom he claims have benefited from the lack of social media censorship.

Spain’s PM Pedro Sánchez urges global rebellion against the “Silicon Valley techno-caste” threatening democracy:

It was also likely a jab at Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, both of whom gone out their way of to mend bridges with the 47th president and who were present at the inauguration ceremony on Monday.

His warnings come as European leaders express concern at the threat Trump and a lack of online social censorship poses to their grip on power.

The Sánchez government has faced persistent criticism over allegations of corruption and eroding democratic principles.

Controversies include the alleged mismanagement of €30 million in contracts related to COVID-19 and claims of influence-peddling involving his wife, Begoña Gómez.

He has also been accused of illegally seizing control over Spain’s public broadcaster, RTVE, in an attempt to shut down criticism of his government.

Spain’s opposition leaders have been vocal in their condemnation. Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Partido Popular, have accused Sánchez of engaging in an “anti-democratic drift.”

Meanwhile, the European People’s Party has suggested the possibility of initiating rule-of-law procedures against Sánchez’s government, though no formal actions have yet materialized.
