  1. Of course nothing is confirmed of this alleged plot. If it was the other side nothing would be alleged and it would be tried and convicted already!! The FBI director shared a story from Fox News, which reported that a group allegedly planned to use drones with explosives to hit buildings near the fight and target the crowds as they fled with a sniper team. Fox News also reported that other alleged perpetrators then planned to storm the White House gate. NBC News has not confirmed the details of the alleged plot.

  2. Again, it’s way past time to crack down on these domestic terrorists.

    The link has the Fox news report on the matter.

    Earlier reports state they are looking for 23 others involved.

    “BREAKING: The FBI says it thwarted a drone attack targeting Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn.

    Five suspects are in custody after allegedly plotting a multi-phase terror attack that involved using explosive-laden drones to strike buildings near the event, sparking mass panic and driving the fleeing crowd toward a sniper team poised to pick them off.”

  5. The UK needs another revolution.

    And they’d arrest me for saying so.

    “The UK arrests people over retweets.

    Crazy.”

    “Britain now arrests more people for social media posts than China, Russia, and Turkey combined nearly matching the rest of the top 10 countries combined

    Britain really leads the world on these thought crimes

    Insane how the UK, which used to be a free country, turned out to be so totalitarian”

  7. I drop by here once in awhile to catch up on what the right side of the internet is saying — AJ is pretty good at collecting the MAGA/right wing response to world response and saves me time. I came today to see the messaging on the supposed Iran deal, but nothing (my friends elsewhere are also quiet)

    As for the UFC at the White House — Ricky Weaver (and I) once compared Trump admin to Idiocracy and this just confirmed it. The mockery was intense in that respect, and the LGBQT side of the internet thought it was rather ironic to have men wrestling in short shorts during Pride…… Sure some people were legitimately upset but mostly I saw memes mocking the whole event

    There was some chatter about flying drones overhead to cause mass confusion but it seemed more like just another joke. Perhaps some of these caught the Secret Service eye. Its never a good idea to make jokes about security — I think the same happened during the Obama admin when people made online threats and received a visit from the Secret Service.

    Many people think the assassinations attempts etc are false flags. And will paint these threats similarly — all as an attempt to justify massive spending on an unneeded ballroom.

  8. A sobering read on how Congress uses their office to insider trade for financial gain.

    Click and read the whole thing, including a list of who abuses their office for financial gain list.

    “This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.

    A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.

    It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:

    56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.

    More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.

    343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.

    That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.”

    The AI identified 752 active “Triple Signals” in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:

    The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.

    Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.

    Now look at the individual leaderboard:”

    Every thing he uses his office to fund benefits him and his friends before all else.

  11. Just a note — The UK arrests numbers are probably inflated due to the Palestine Action protest. Palestine Action is a direct action group dedicated to shutting down the UK weapons supply to Isreal. They were declared a terrorist group last year by the UK gov’t. Since then protests both online and in real life have occurred in which supporters of Palestine Action simply tweet the name or hold up a sign which leads to their arrest.

  13. Interesting how the leftist alphabet people mock the event…which cost the tax payers nothing nor does the ballroom. I like this gal’s perspective… not to mention Obama lighting up the WH in rainbow colors as a flip off to Christians!

    You may not like the UFC thing at the White House, but the moment you hung a giant pride flag from the columns and had half-naked “trans” activists exposing themselves on the lawn, you lost all right to complain about desecration.
