Bombshell: FBI Itself Allowed Would-Be Trump Killer Into Country, Said He Was ‘Polite’
by Joe Saunders, The Western Journal17 Comments
Do Americans have any reason to trust the FBI?
The once-vaunted reputation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
has been in tatters for years among conservatives — since well before
its deep-state warfare against Donald Trump and his supporters became
public knowledge.
But a report this week about the bureau’s dealings with a man arrested in July in a potential Trump assassination plot linked to Iran just made things a good deal worse.
According to Just the News,
FBI counterterrorism agents interviewed Pakistani national Asif Raza
Merchant in April when he landed at George Bush International Airport in
Houston.
“The immigration records from his arrival in Houston on April 13
clearly stated in bright red that he was flagged by the Department of
Homeland Security database with the identifier ‘WATCH LIST and denoted
as a ‘Lookout Qualified Person of Interest,'” Just the News reported.
Nonetheless, he was allowed into the country on a special parole, Just the News reported.
Maybe it was because he was just an oh-so-smooth talker. The agents
who interviewed Merchan found him “polite and cooperative throughout
encounter,” Just the News reported, quoting an FBI interview memo.
Or maybe it was because the FBI planned to keep an eye on him, using
him as unwitting bait to maybe catch bigger fish in the subterranean sea
of terror networks.
That’s how unnamed FBI sources framed it, according to Just the News.
But they also pointed out the obvious dangers of simply letting
dangerous individuals go free on the expectation that the benefits
gained in surveillance would more than make up for any potential
hazards.
It’s playing with fire — and in the real world, innocent people get burned.
The sources cited the Obama-era operation known as “Fast and Furious,”
in which a plan to trace illegal guns ended up turning into a deadly
fiasco, with more than 1,000 weapons disappearing — presumably into the
hands of criminals. Two of those guns were found near the scene of the 2010 murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
The Merchant case hasn’t come with any corpses — at least not that have been publicized so far — so that’s something.
But the fact that the FBI would consider it a worthy risk to allow a
known terror suspect, with known ties to Iran — a terrorist-run nation
that has been at war with the United States since 1979 — beggars belief.
Or rather, it would beggar belief if the country hadn’t been treated
for years to the spectacle of an agency that has exchanged a reputation
for stellar law enforcement to become known as an ideologically driven
organization.
Americans who follow the news these days see more about an FBI committed to stomping on conservatives — say, parents who speak out at school board meetings — than about an agency battling criminals or the country’s enemies.
Much of the bureau’s current reputational problems no doubt stem from
the days of former Director James Comey, who was fired by Trump in
2017. Comey was behind the smearing of retired Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor.
He was the FBI director who helped establish the “Russia collusion” hoax that bedeviled Trump’s presidency.
He was the director who employed FBI Agent Peter Strzok and his lover, FBI attorney Lisa Page, the infamous couple who cashed in their “insurance policy”
against Trump winning the presidency by attempting to frame him as a
stooge of the Kremlin, and getting millions of Americans to believe it.
In 2019, as NBC News
reported at the time, the Justice Department Inspector General issued a
report declaring that Comey had violated both Justice Department and
FBI policy by his actions after Trump fired him, including keeping
official memos he wrote while FBI director and giving one of them to a
friend, who in turn leaked it to The New York Times. Those were the kind
of games Comey played in American politics.
But the FBI since Comey’s departure clearly hasn’t proven itself to be reformed from those dark days.
Director Christopher Wray, the man Trump appointed to replace Comey,
has been a disappointment known more for evasive answers to Republican
senators and representatives than he is for being a new broom that
sweeps clean.
And now a reputable news source is reporting that the FBI allowed a
man with known terror ties into the country, only to arrest him three
months later on charges of organizing an Iranian-backed plot to kill the
45th president.
Merchant was arrested July 12, according to a Justice Department news release — one day before Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally.
That isn’t to suggest there was any link between Merchant and Trump’s
would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, but it does highlight how
dangerous threats are.
If the FBI was playing Merchant for a dupe, it was playing with fire.
And no American who’s followed the news over the past decade should even trust this agency’s leadership with a pack of matches.

THIS SHOULD FINISH THE TIM
WALZ POLITICAL CAREER: Picture Unearthed of Walz Holding “Enduring
Freedom Veteran” Protest Sign – He Never Served in Operation Enduring
Freedom – IT WAS ALL A LIE
by Jim Hoft269 Comments

A bombshell revelation has surfaced this week that could mark the end
of Tim Walz’s political career. A photo, recently unearthed, shows Walz
holding a protest sign reading “Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry” during a 2004 anti-George Bush rally in Mankato, Minnesota.
The problem? Walz never served in Operation Enduring Freedom, and his
claims of doing so have been exposed as a lie that has persisted for
nearly 20 years.
The photograph, taken by Michael B. Brodkorb, was captured on August 4, 2004, as Walz protested outside a campaign rally for President Bush in Mankato, Minnesota.
Tim Walz has consistently portrayed himself as “a veteran of
Operation Enduring Freedom,” the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan
initiated after the September 11 attacks.
However, it has come to light that Walz never deployed to
Afghanistan, nor did he engage in any combat operations during his
military career. His service was primarily in Italy, where he supported
NATO forces but did not see action in the Middle East, Free Beacon reported.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on a 2007 video of Tim Walz
falsely claiming he deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
“I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My
battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from
Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan. And
that same battalion is now in Iraq at this time,” Walz said in 2007 on
CSPAN.

Then, another video from 2009
also resurfaces, showing Iraq War veteran David Thul confronting Walz’s
aides at his Mankato office regarding these claims. Thul, armed with
knowledge and evidence, filmed the encounter and pointed out that Walz’s
assertions could be interpreted as violations of the Stolen Valor Act.
During this confrontation, Thul informed Walz's aides that such misrepresentations could lead to jail time.
Thul presented evidence indicating that while
Walz served in a supportive role, he did not serve in Afghanistan or
engage in any combat actions. One aide admitted she was "not aware" of
Walz serving in Afghanistan.
Thul went on to present the 2004 photo of
Walz, holding a sign that says "Enduring Freedom Veterans for Care," to
another aide, who acknowledged that constituents could get the false
impression that Walz served in Afghanistan.
Read more:
David Thul shared this photo in a blog post in 2009 detailing his concerns about Walz’s military record.
“My congressman, who publically attacked an Iraq War
veteran for questioning his service, held a sign in 2004 claiming to be
an Afghanistan War veteran. Even having an already low opinion of Tim
Walz, I still couldn't believe my eyes. Tim Walz held a sign at a
protest outside a President Bush campaign rally (the very same rally he
claims to have had his conversion at) claiming to be an "Enduring
Freedom Veterans for Kerry."
There are two medals that have been awarded to soldiers who served in
Operation Enduring Freedom-the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary
Medal (authorized by Executive Order on March 13, 2003) and the
Afghanistan Campaign Medal (authorized by Congress on May 28, 2004).
Congressman Walz does not qualify to wear either one.
Yet in this photo taken by Michael Brodkorb on his way to the Mankato Bush rally and posted last year on Minnesota Democrats Exposed, then National Guardsman Command Sergeant Major Tim Walz claimed to be a veteran of a war he didn't fight in.
Remember, Tim Walz's statement is that he re-enlisted after Sep 11,
2001 for 4 more years and did not retire until he decided to run for
Congress (some time after this picture was taken). So he was almost
certainly still a member of the MN National Guard when he held this
fraudulent sign.
So the question becomes, how wrong is this? How bad is it to claim to
be an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran when you are not? Reference
the Stolen Valor Act of 2005:
False Claims About Receipt of Military Medals- Whoever falsely
represents himself or herself, verbally or in writing, to have been
awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed
forces of the United States, or any of the service medals or badges
awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or rosette
of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable imitation
thereof shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.' (Emphasis mine)
As my kids would say, "Ruh Roh Raggy".
Fortunately for Congressman Walz, the Stolen Valor Act wasn't passed
until January of 2006. But there is no way for Congressman Walz to spin
this photo or explain his way out of it. He claimed in writing to be an
Enduring Freedom vet and he is not.
VIDEO: The Debate Is Over — CNN Airs Investigation that Confirms Tim Walz Is Stolen Valor Fraud
by Jim Hoft27 CommentsCNN lays out the details of Tim Walz and his Stolen Valor scandal.
CNN settled the debate about Governor Tim Walz and his alleged stolen
valor scandal. The far-left channel ran a 10-minute investigation on
Governor Walz, his time in the service, his abandoning his men after
their deployment notice, and Tim later lying about his service in the
Iraq War.
Mike Cernovich called the segment “absolutely devastating” and
confirmed that CNN actually debunked all of the lies spread by Walz and
his Democrat defenders.
“Absolutely devastating and it debunks all of the lies spread by Tim
Walz’s defenders. I want him on the ticket as VP. The conversation is
over. Tim Walz is a deployment dodging stolen valor fraud!” he wrote on
X.
CNN host Laura Coates brought in retired Command Sergeant Major Doug
Julien to discuss Walz and his record. Julien previously accused Walz of
letting “his troops down”
and going over his head to secure his retirement after decades of
service in May 2005, a few months before the battalion was given a
mobilization order to deploy to Iraq.
Julien’s testimony provides a stark contrast to the narrative Walz
has long promoted, revealing a troubling pattern of deceit and
self-serving decisions that have cast a shadow over his military legacy.
According to Julien, Walz, who filed paperwork for his Congressional
bid in February 2005, deliberately went above his superior’s head to
retire just as his unit was preparing for deployment to Iraq.
Julien revealed that in the fall of 2004, his brigade was informed of
an upcoming deployment to Iraq, and the unit was in the process of
preparing for the mission.
By February 2005, Walz was already laying the groundwork for his
political career, notifying Julien of his intent to run for Congress but
assuring him he would still deploy with his unit.
However, in a move that Julien described as a “backdoor process,”
Walz retired in May 2005—just two months before his unit received
deployment orders. Julien claims that Walz knew about the scheduled
deployment and violated military protocol by seeking retirement approval
from someone higher up, bypassing Julien entirely.
“The issue that came out of this was, first of all, how did Tim Walz
quit without discussing it with me? Because I was his next level of
leadership or responsibility or supervisor,” said Julien.
“The real thing is, at the level that he held at time, which could
have been either a first sergeant, but he was conditionally promoted to a
Command Sergeant Major, he knew the rules or the policies or the
procedures and the manner of how to address issues going forward.”
“If this would have been an early entry, low-level ranking
individual, different story. We would have understood that, okay, he
didn’t understand the processes and the procedures. Tim Walz knew the
processes and the procedures. He went around me and above and beyond me
and went and basically went to get somebody to back him to get him out
of there without… It was just a backdoor process that he handled against
me or against the battalion out there.”
The interview further revealed that Walz’s actions may have violated
the military’s stop-loss policy, which prevents service members from
retiring or leaving service within 90 days of deployment.
“At that time is what’s called a stop loss, where if you’re in a
position, you’re going forward regardless unless there’s some really
major process that gets you out from not going on the deployment itself.
So there’s that window of opportunity.”
Julien emphasized that Walz was fully aware of the impending orders
and chose to retire anyway, abandoning his comrades just when they
needed him most.
To add insult to injury, Walz has repeatedly claimed to have been a
Command Sergeant Major—a title that Julien disputes. According to the
retired Sergeant Major, Walz never completed the academy required to
achieve that rank, making his claim a violation of stolen valor.
From the interview, it is clear that Tim Walz went over his superior,
pulled out of combat in Iraq within the 90 days prior to deployment and
violated a stop loss rule. Walz later claimed he was a retired Command
Sergeant Major – a level he never completed because he never entered the
academy to become a Command Sergeant Major.
Walz frequently lied about this military rank since he left the service.
In fact, we know that the Kamala Harris campaign had to rewrite their website to correct this violation of stolen valor.
Stellantis laid off 2,450 plant workers in Warren, Michigan after discontinuing its popular Ram pickup truck.
The layoffs come just one day after Kamala Harris and her running
mate stolen valor Tim Walz delivered remarks to United Auto Workers
(UAW) members in Wayne County, Michigan.
The UAW represents the Stellantis plant in Warren, Michigan.
“With the introduction of the new Ram 1500, production of the Ram
1500 Classic at the Warren [Michigan] Truck Assembly Plant will come to
an end later this year,” the company said in an emailed statement, CNBC reported.
CNBC reported:
Automaker Stellantis plans to indefinitely lay off up to
2,450 U.S. factory workers later this year as it discontinues production
of an older version of its Ram 1500 pickup truck in Michigan.
The truck has been largely used as a low-cost pickup to sell to
entry-level buyers and fleet customers since the automaker introduced a
new generation of the Ram 1500 in 2018. It is produced alongside the
Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer at the Warren Truck Assembly Plant,
located near Detroit.
The current Ram 1500, which was recently updated for the 2025 model
year, is produced at a nearby plant. Operations at that facility will
continue as planned.
For the first time in the history of the 150,000-member United Auto Workers Union, members went on strike against the “Big 3” manufacturers last year after no deal was reached.
The “Big 3” include Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, the newly-formed merger of Fiat Chrysler and the PSA Group.
“Key demands from the union have included 40% hourly pay increases; a
reduced, 32-hour, workweek; a shift back to traditional pensions; the
elimination of compensation tiers; and a restoration of cost-of-living
adjustments. Other items on the table include enhanced retiree benefits
and better vacation and family leave benefits,” CNBC reported last year.
Kentucky Truck Plant workers shut it down earlier this month. This is Ford’s biggest and most profitable plant.
The United Auto Workers strike expanded as thousands of workers walked out and shut down Stellantis’ largest plant last year.
6,800 workers walked out of the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan last October.
If you are have a weak stomach and a big heart..... You might now want to read this. All the way to the last word is FRIGHTENING.
PURE EVIL: Newly Released
Undercover Video Exposes Planned Parenthood Employees Joking and
Laughing While Allegedly Admitting to Selling Aborted Baby Organs and
Dismembered Parts
by Jim Hᴏft459 CommentsTram
Nguyen, RN and Vice President of Abortion Access at Planned Parenthood
Houston (L); Dr. Ann Schutt-Ainé, Chief Medical Officer of Planned
Parenthood Gulf Coast (R)
Newly released undercover footage from the Center for Medical
Progress (CMP) exposes Planned Parenthood employees discussing the sale
of aborted fetal body parts with chilling nonchalance.
The footage reveals the gruesome and inhumane practices carried out by Planned Parenthood’s Houston branch.
The footage was recorded in 2015 by David Daleiden and his team at
the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) during a 2015 National Abortion
Federation trade show and has only recently been made public after an
eight-year legal battle.
According to CMP, “This clinic aborted babies up to 6 months and sold them for experiments until the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson ended Planned Parenthood’s abortion practice in Texas on June 24th, 2022, saving countless lives.”
In the undercover video,
Dr. Ann Schutt-Ainé, Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Gulf
Coast, and Tram Nguyen, RN and Vice President of Abortion Access at
Planned Parenthood Houston, are seen discussing the gruesome details of
their procedures.

In one particularly harrowing exchange,
Schutt-Ainé said, “You told me about the proposition, and so now every
time I do a D&E [dilation and evacuation abortion], I’m like, ‘Oh,
there’s some lungs, there’s some kidneys.’”
The footage also captures Nguyen laughing as
she recalls a particularly gruesome instance where a fetus was
dismembered during an abortion. “I’m like, ‘Yeah, I have like a leg for
you!’ I’m like, oh sh**, if other people were to hear me, they’d be
like, you are f***ing evil,” said Nguyen.
The footage captures not only the heartless discussions surrounding
organ harvesting but also details on how they manipulate medical
procedures to avoid violating federal partial-birth abortion laws while
still profiting from fetal tissue sales.
According to the press release, the Texas branch described
“delivering late-term fetuses intact and alive and mutilating the bodies
afterwards to cover up violations of the federal partial-birth abortion
law, in conversations about selling fetal body parts.”
“A lot of it has to do with dilation of the mother’s cervix, the
opening to the uterus. Because when you have good dilation, a cervix
that’s either well-dilated and/or just softer and more pliable, then as
you bring the fetus down, you can get more of it out before
disarticulation occurs. Typically, it can take three or four “passes” of
the forceps into the birth canal to get the fetus out,” said
Schutt-Ainé.
Nguyen added, “There are some that are like, I need you to make one more pass, one more pass.”
More from Break Through with Jeanne Ives:
Nurse Tram, regretting a day when they were rushed during
the killing of a sixteen-year-old girl’s baby, says, “We just had to
hurry up, whereas other days it’s more intact, where it’s like maybe
only like an arm that’s disarticulated [severed].”
Jolly Nurse Tram—who has no business working in the medical
field—mocks the aborted bodies of conjoined twins, saying with contorted
hand gestures, “I was like it’s really cool though. There’s like three
legs and like two spinal cords.”
Then Tram jokes about her own evil: “I’m like, ‘Yeah, I have like a
leg for you!’ I’m like, oh sh**, if other people were to hear me, they’d
be like, you are f***ing evil.”
In one of the most grotesque moments, Schutt-Aine unintentionally
acknowledges that professional child-killers and their collaborators
know their victims are humans: “I had a patient … like sometime in the
past few months … she wanted footprint, and I had a resident with me
that day, and I was like, you know what, I’m going to do this procedure
because I’m going to try and do my best to get these feet out intact.”
Such a thoughtful doctor. Schutt-Aine won’t take a chance on letting
an inexperienced child-destroyer destroy a perfectly good foot or
hand—body parts needed for prints of the thing that is definitely not a baby.
In the middle of this obscene description of Schutt-Aine’s evil act,
Nurse Tram interrupts smiling and pumping her fist in the air, shouting,
“We did footprints!”
With Dr. Schutt-Aine guffawing, Tram shouted again like a demented cheerleader, “We did footprints and handprints, baby!”
According to CMP, “A few weeks after this conversation, in June 2015,
CMP emailed Nguyen and Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast VP of Research
Melissa Farrell an undercover contract for $750 per fetal liver and
$1,600 per pair of fetal liver and thymus. In unsealed emails produced
in federal court, Nguyen forwarded the contract to PPGC’s Regional
Medical & Surgical Services Director, Dyann Santos, writing,
“FYI—we’re still trying to move forward with this,” to which Santos
asked, “Do you want to do this?” and to which Nguyen replied, “Yes
ma’am.””
For years, conservatives have decried the practices of Planned
Parenthood, accusing the organization of profiting from the sale of
aborted baby body parts. The release of this video provides undeniable
evidence that these accusations were not just baseless claims but
reflect a horrifying reality.
