Here's Why Ray Epps Is Now Targeting Tucker Carlson (Updated 3/25+) Ray Epps is now targeting Tucker Carlson

The video I have seen shows violence where Mr. Epps happens to be and calm inside where he is not. TD

Julio Rosas  "Ray Epps' lawyer has sent a letter to Fox News demanding a retraction over host Tucker Carlson airing more footage taken during the January 6 riot and exposing Epps lying to the House Committee on when he left during the unfolding incident.

"The New York Times reports the letter sent by Michael Teter also demands Carlson publicly retract his "false and defamatory statements" that Epps had worked as an undercover provocateur for the federal government to whip up the crowd that stormed into the Capitol building.

" 'The fanciful notions that Mr. Carlson advances on his show regarding Mr. Epps’s involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection are demonstrably (and already proven to be) false," Teter wrote. "And yet Mr. Carlson persists with his assault on the truth."

" 'Oddly, Mr. Carlson now also espouses the view that those rioters were akin to peaceful tourists," Teter continued. "This leads to the obvious question: Is Mr. Carlson now accusing Mr. Epps of provoking peaceful protests?"

"Not only was Epps caught on camera telling people to go to the Capitol building on January 5 and 6, along with being among the first to breach the outside perimeter of the complex, but footage Carlson aired proved Epps lied when he testified he left the grounds of the Capitol earlier than he actually did.". . .


The failure of the FBI to arrest the most conspicuous ringleader of the Capitol breach has naturally heightened suspicions that Epps — and likely others — were either federal agents or assets.

The “journalists” at the New York Times did not share those suspicions. In July 2022, … Times reporter Alan Feuer lamented the fate of this seeming MAGA extremist. “Epps has suffered enormously in the past 10 months,” wrote Feuer, “as right-wing media figures and Republican politicians have baselessly described him as a covert government agent who helped to instigate the attack on the Capitol last year.”

“Baselessly?” The fact that the Times would shred its remaining credibility to defend this man suggests just how much Epps matters. …

"Why it matters so much:

The media and the Democrats feel compelled to defend Ray Epps. To acknowledge that Epps was a government asset is to acknowledge that he and others like him infiltrated the January 6 protest and spurred it to violence.

UPDATE: 3:25: Ray Epps is now targeting Tucker Carlson - American Thinker

"During his expose regarding the occurrences on January 6, 2021, Tucker Carlson covered the curious circumstances surrounding Rap Epps.

"Epps was seen on camera inciting Trump supporters to go into the Capitol the night before the Jan. 6 protests.". . .

"Carlson reported Epps sent a text to his nephew claiming he ‘orchestrated it’.

"This is most certainly a suspicious claim to make at that juncture when temperatures were running very high.

"Carlson also revealed that, when Epps was interviewed by the January 6 House Select Committee, he claimed that he was heading back to his hotel in D.C. when he sent the text.

"Carlson then showed footage of Epps at the Capitol for at least half an hour after his text.". . .

Why Bragg's case against Trump is falling apart

 Note to the Democrats: Doesn't this DA have the same name as a Confederate general? Just asking.


JUST IN: Alvin Bragg Is 'Struggling' To Get Grand Jury To Charge Trump, Has 'Weak Case' (trendingpoliticsnews.com) . . ."One source called Bragg’s case “weak” and said it is causing a rift within the DA’s office. “They are having trouble convincing the jury to swallow the case. It’s a weak case and has caused divisions in the DA’s office.”

"This revelation comes after the grand jury ended up not meeting on Wednesday to consider the charges against the former president. Rumors have swirled their failure to meet suggests prosecutors are struggling to build a strong case against Trump.". . .


Will Alvin Bragg be a team player or is he in it for himself? - American Thinker   "Alvin Bragg openly admitted during his election campaign that he would make it a priority, if elected, to prosecute Donald Trump, albeit without bothering to select a law that’s been broken.  Bragg is only the next batter up to try and make party politics a crime.  He steps to the plate way down in the order following such heavy hitters as the FBI, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Leticia James, and Merrick Garland.  

"If he indeed does follow through and charge the former president with a crime that he knows full well will never result in a conviction, he will do it against the express orders of the Democrat party hierarchy.  The power brokers on the left, from Barack Obama all the way down to The Squad, understand that Trump the Martyr is a far more serious and dangerous a candidate than The Donald of spring 2023, who lagged in the polls behind Florida governor Ron DeSantis. ". . .

Arrest That Man (Donald Trump). Crime to Follow. (dailysignal.com)

George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley, a Democrat, called Bragg’s case against Trump “legally pathetic” and accused the George Soros-funded DA of “struggling to twist state laws to effectively prosecute a federal case long ago rejected by the Justice Department against Trump.”

"An Unprecedent Inquiry": Manhattan DA Fires Off Angry Letter Blaming Trump For Arrest Rumors | ZeroHedge   "Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg - who lied about growing up poor, has fired off an angry letter to House Republicans, calling their investigation into his case against former President Trump over hush payments to Stormy Daniels "an unprecedent [sic] inquiry into a pending local prosecution," adding "The letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene.' "

Why Bragg's case against Trump is falling apart (nypost.com)  "It appears that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will go another week in the legal effort to locate the nation of Kailasa on a map.

"Recently, Mayor Ras Baraka and the city of Newark held a formal ceremony signing a partnership with the nation of Kailasa that pledged mutual cultural, social and political development.

"After all of the fanfare, pomp and circumstance subsided, a small problem emerged.

"Kailasa does not exist.". . .

HART: Soros-Funded Manhattan District Attorney Predictably Weaponizes His Office Against Trump | The Daily Caller

They go from the Russian hoax/Mueller investigation to a series of impeachments of Trump for trivial matters, to the Jan. 6 show “hearings” and throwing people in jail with no charges for months over the “insurrection.” Tucker Carlson aired some of the January 6th security tapes he got, and no serious person would say the people on the tapes should go to jail for four years. I have seen more violence at Walmart entrances on Black Friday. 



Double Standard on Decorum in White House Press Corps

 Daily Signal

Jean-Pierre is really in no place to lecture that the American people deserve a better press corps when their goal is for the president to avoid it as much as possible.


The White House press corps is a microcosm of the national media. It is overwhelmingly liberal, stuffed with Joe Biden voters. So, it was downright weird when former press secretary Jen Psaki told the Los Angeles Times she sometimes thought, “I am an orderly in an insane asylum.”

"The briefing room is usually a tank of hungry sharks for a Republican’s press secretary, and a classroom full of teacher’s pets for a Democrat’s press secretary. The news cycle has to be pretty negative for reporters to sound hostile to President Joe Biden’s press aides.

"On March 20, black reporter Simon Ateba from an obscure website called Today News Africa began screaming at the very top of the briefing that current press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was not calling on him so he could ask his questions. Other reporters joined the fight, insisting Ateba press his complaints off camera.

"There should be decorum at press briefings. The White House is not a place for egotistical shouting by reporters, no matter the outlet. But some people have thought they could secure fame and fortune by doing it. Ateba scored friendly interviews with Fox and Newsmax.

"Before him, CNN’s Jim Acosta routinely yelled at then-President Donald Trump and was celebrated as heroic and was gushed over by Stephen Colbert. Acosta constantly suggested Trump would get journalists brutalized or killed, and wrote a self-congratulatory memoir titled “The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America.”

"In 2017, April Ryan squabbled with Trump press secretary Sean Spicer, and then she joined CNN as a political analyst. That year, she also was named “Journalist of the Year” by the National Association of Black Journalists.

"This will never happen to Ateba.". . .

EXCLUSIVE: DOJ Sued Over Protests at Supreme Court Justices' Home

 Daily Signal


"The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project is suing the Justice Department for communications related to the department’s failure to apply federal law against far-left protests at the Supreme Court Justices’ homes.

"The suit follows Attorney General Merrick Garland’s admission that it is a federal crime (under 18 U.S.C. § 1507) to protest outside a judge’s home with the intent of influencing that judge. Garland has not enforced that law, though both Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan requested that he do so, and in March, Garland claimed that the U.S. Marshals “on scene” make the decision “whether to make an arrest.”. . .

. . ."These groups of far-left activists, which include individuals such as Sadie KuhnsMelissa BarlowNikki Enfield, and Nadine Seiler, have been protesting at the homes of the Supreme Court justices since the May leak of the draft opinion indicating that Roe v. Wade would soon be overturned.

"That unprecedented leak, which sparked protests throughout the country, attacks on scores of pro-life centers and faith-based institutions nationwide, and even an assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh, made the justices “targets for assassination,” according to Justice Samuel Alito.

“It was a shock because nothing like that had happened in the past,” Alito said of the leak in October during remarks at The Heritage Foundation. “So it certainly changed the atmosphere at the court for the remainder of last term.”. .  .

Realigning California Would Realign America

"What is happening in California is not only a threat that cannot be ignored. It is an historic opportunity for conservatives across America. As goes California, so goes the nation."


 American Greatness   "The conventional wisdom on the Right in most of the rest of America is that California is a lost cause. Rather than fight inside California, where you are up against the most powerful and monolithic alliance of progressive special interests in the world, dedicate resources to flipping purple states, and keeping red states red. But to invert a popular quote attributed to Nietzsche, even if you do not gaze into the abyss, the abyss will still gaze back into you.

"California’s role in influencing the future of the country is unparalleled. In addition to its economic and demographic weight, California remains the epicenter of America’s media and entertainment industry, as well as its high-tech industry. Even if several American states defy the momentum of California’s political class, laws governing California frequently end up becoming federal policy. The abyss is coming for us all, and its epicenter is in California.

"It’s expensive to engage in public education in a state with a population of nearly 40 million, including 22 million registered voters. California’s political culture is almost completely dominated by social radicals and environmentalist extremists. But if the challenges to changing the political culture in California are daunting, the potential rewards are even greater.

"There is an immediate financial incentive for the Right to take the fight into the belly of the beast, which is that whatever money California’s well-heeled public sector unions and progressive billionaires have to spend on defense in their own state is money that will not be used to swing close races in other states. The question then only becomes how to engage in asymmetric warfare to ensure that California’s progressives spend far more money on defense than their attackers spend on offense. In this manner, even if the political battle is lost, the money is well spent.". . .

There's a 'Bloodbath' Happening at Disney and Woke Employees Are Being Led to the Chopping Block

  RedState


. . ."This tells us two things. For one, even executives with positions near the top aren’t safe from the axe. Secondly, it tells us that the super woke are being led to the chopping block. Alonso was an avid social justice advocate who made bizarre moves such as trying to eliminate the term “X-Men” due to it being “outdated” and declaring that “diversity and inclusion” was not a “political game” to Marvel. Alonso was the one who promised that Marvel would get a big infusion of LGBT characters as well.

"Disney definitely has a problem with the number of politically radical activists infecting its ranks. Not only has the ideology infected its movies and television shows to the point of being unwatchable, but its hubris in its leftism also led it into a war with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which it promptly lost, costing the company its tax haven in Florida.

"Its commitment to leftist politics also led to the unfair firing of fan-favorite Gina Carano from “The Mandalorian,” further souring the relationship between the company and its customers.

"While there are plenty of factors that have led to Disney losing nearly half its market value, its decision to force politics on America’s children is what primarily cost it its audience. If you’re a savvy business leader, your first goal would be to take a knife and begin cutting out the infected tissue that’s causing the body to fail. This means eliminating people who adhere to social justice politics such as Alonso.". . .
