NEW FACTS: Jan 6 DNC 'PIPE BOMB' story finally explodes!

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=51132754&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D51132754%26width%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

BlazeTV’s investigative team has blown the story wide open on who really discovered the pipe bomb outside of DNC headquarters on January 6.

The original story went that a masked passerby stumbled on the pipe bomb before approaching the Capitol Police to report what he found.

But as more information is revealed, the original story is looking more like a lie.

“There was a massive cover up,” Grant Stinchfield, host of "Real America’s Voice," tells Sara Gonzales.

The pipe bomb was dropped outside of the DNC party headquarters, and the original surveillance tape was edited so viewers couldn’t see who dropped the pipe bomb.

Now, three years later, it’s been discovered that it wasn’t a passerby who found the pipe bomb at all. Rather, it was a U.S. Capitol policeman in plainclothes.

After the plainclothes officer told the responding police officers, they proceeded to finish their lunch in their vehicles.

Sara Gonzales has questions.

“How did the Secret Service fail to find a bomb prior to Harris’ arrival? Why did operators in the Capitol Police Command Center deliberately redirect CCTV cameras away from the pipe bomb investigation and detonation? Why do the Secret Service Agent and MPD officer feel safe enough to finish their lunch before investigating a pipe bomb 15 feet away?” Gonzales asks.

None of it is adding up.

“We may not ever know the truth,” Gonzales says. “But something severely stinks about that entire day.”

Whoopi Goldberg’s latest Trump tirade is, well, embarrassing

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=51074738&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D51074738%26width%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

“The View’s” Whoopi Goldberg should’ve stuck to acting and left the political commentary to those with common sense.

“Play a scene from ‘Sister Act,’” Jaco Booyens tells Sara Gonzales. “That was her best moment, and then it went downhill from there.”

But Sara thinks Goldberg’s latest Trump tirade is worth watching (even if only for giggles).

On a recent episode of “The View,” which Jaco says was “written by the Democratic Party,” Goldberg went on an embarrassing tirade about all the horrible things Donald Trump — “the dictator” — would inevitably do should he win the 2024 election.

“People's faith in the country is waning; that's the thing that's pissing me off,” she began, ignorantly adding that Joe Biden is “running for democracy,” which is “really what's at stake.”

However, “if the other guy becomes president,” she continued in reference to Donald Trump, people will have to worry about being put in “some camp somewhere.”

“That's his promise to us — he's going to force people to do his bidding. That’s what he said; ‘I’m gonna be good on day one, and then I’m gonna turn into some other person.”’

Of course, her words are ludicrous, as Trump has never uttered such a ridiculous statement.

But Goldberg wasn’t finished. She also had some things to say about our immigration problem.

Illegal immigrants are “coming here for a reason because they're living in a place that's not good for their families. If you're okay with that and you understand that, then fight for us to find a better way to make immigration work ... Don't fight for keeping everybody out because then we all have to leave,” she ranted.

To clarify, Biden is pro-democracy, Trump is going to put people he doesn’t like in camps, and if we don’t support open borders, then we’re all going to be forced to leave America.

“She’s talking about rounding people up in camps,” laughs Sara. “Your guy is the guy who's weaponized the entire FBI and DOJ against half of the country. You've got the FBI ... putting families at gunpoint because a pro-life ...You're throwing people in prison for decades because they waved an American flag in the capital and walked out and left non-violently.”

Michelle Obama claims she's 'terrified' for upcoming election. Here's why

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/michelle-obama-claims-she-s-terrified-for-upcoming-election-here-s-why.jpg?id=51059232&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=300,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/michelle-obama-claims-she-s-terrified-for-upcoming-election-here-s-why.jpg%3Fid%3D51059232%26width%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D300%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Michelle Obama is very concerned about the 2024 election, and it’s starting to sound like the former first lady might have something in store herself for 2024.

“The things that keep me up because you don’t have control over them, and you wonder where are people, where are we in this, you know, where are our hearts, what’s going to happen in this next election,” she told Jay Shetty on the "On Purpose" podcast.

“I am terrified about what could possibly happen, because our leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit — it affects us in ways that sometimes I think people take for granted,” Michelle added.

Sara Gonzales is not amused.

“Yeah, we know, which is why it’s a problem that we have a walking vegetable that is apparently controlling the bully pulpit,” she comments.

Entrepreneur and investor Carol Roth thinks Michelle has something else up her sleeve.

“I watched this and the first thing that popped into my head is, ‘She’s running,’” Roth tells Gonzales. “All of a sudden they’re trotting out Michelle Obama, who we haven’t seen in a very long time.”

“If she keeps popping up, that’s going to terrify me,” she adds.

Watch Vivek the Destroyer humiliate NBC news airhead, sending her into a full meltdown

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=51027712&width=750&height=1000&coordinates=956,0,154,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D51027712%26width%3D750%26height%3D1000%26coordinates%3D956%2C0%2C154%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

The left is triggered by Vivek Ramaswamy. Liberals just can’t understand how he, especially as a person of color, could possibly refuse to denounce white supremacy – the modern version of white supremacy, that is.

Pat Gray plays a recent clip showing Ramaswamy “being pushed into a corner on race issues again,” but thankfully the candidate handled the ambush with expert articulacy.

“When you were talking to reporters last night, you called white supremacy a myth. When someone asked you about Dylann Roof, you said you didn't know who that is. Have you looked up what happened in 2015?” asked Dasha Burns, citing the mass murderer who shot and killed nine African-Americans on June 17, 2015, in South Carolina.

“Yeah,” Ramaswamy answered, confirming he knew about Roof’s crimes. “Invidious racial discrimination is wrong no matter how it happens.”

However, “it's incumbent for us to define what white supremacy is,” especially “what the popular understanding of these terms [has] come to mean,” he continued. “Do you believe punctuality is a vestige of white supremacy … or the written word … or the nuclear family? These aren't my words; these are the words of intellectual proponents from Ibram Kendi to Ayanna Pressley to BLM that have said these are vestiges of white supremacy.”

That’s all it took for Burns to lose her cool.

“This is what you do, though. You choose straw men,” she fired back, accusing him of cherry-picking his arguments.

But Ramaswamy just hit her with more facts.

“If you really care about actual crime against black Americans, let's get to the root causes of it,” he said, citing “black-on-black crime” as the main source of the problem.

“The Anti-Defamation League tracked a 38% increase in white supremacist propaganda last year,” Burns spat back.

“The ADL isn’t a particularly credible source,” Ramaswamy said, before shooting down Burns’ next set of statistics from the FBI.

“What they classify as a hate crime is itself a political judgment. I think that when you actually care about protecting life, if you want to say black lives matter, let's look at where black lives are actually being lost – it's in the cities at the heart of other black Americans and criminals.”

That only made Burns even more angry, but Ramaswamy carried on with his usual eloquence.

“My whole point is, racism has been a major problem for most of our national history, but we’re getting close to the promised land that Martin Luther King envisioned. We’re as darned close to it as we ever have been,” but now “we’re creating new waves of racism, Dasha, that we otherwise would have avoided right when we're closest to having achieved what even the proponents of the civil rights movement would have dreamed of.”

“Obviously she’s got an agenda,” sighs Pat. “She is all pissed off that she can’t get him to cower before the racial gods that are saying ‘everything is so bad in America, and white supremacy is the biggest issue we face.”’

Iran turned off cameras belonging to a UN nuclear watchdog in one of its uranium enrichment facilities



The Iranian government was exposed for turning off two surveillance cameras of a United Nations nuclear watchdog program that was monitoring one of the country’s atomic development sites.

The Independent reported that the development initially broke on Iranian state television. The report did not identify at which of the nuclear development sites the infraction occurred, but it did indicate that the interference was a likely a part of a new pressure technique being pushed by the Iranian government as it seeks to muscle its way out of an imminent censure from Western nations at an upcoming meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The Iranian state television report described the two disabled cameras as monitoring “OLEM enrichment levels and flowmeters.” This refers to the IAEA’s Online Enrichment Monitors, which watch the enrichment of uranium gas through piping at enrichment facilities.

Reportedly, the Iranian government is enriching uranium gas at both its Fordo and Natanz underground nuclear sites.

In 2015, the Iranian government and various world powers agreed to a nuclear deal that would allow the Iranian leadership to drastically restrict the amount of uranium it could enrich in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.

In 2018, former President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the arrangement, subsequently raising tensions in various parts of the Middle East.

In the time since Trump’s withdrawal from the arrangement, Iran has broken every limit imposed on it by the 2015 deal and now enriches uranium at a 60% purity — weapons-grade enrichment is 90%. Despite the Iranian government’s disregard for the restrictions placed upon it, the IAEA has been allowed to continually visit the country’s enrichment facilities.

The Vienna-based IAEA did not immediately acknowledge the Iranian regime’s disabling of the surveillance cameras.

This past February, a senior official in the U.S. State Department said that Iran was “weeks, not months” away from being able to power an atomic.

The statement came after a series of indirect discussions with Iran and other world powers in Vienna.

After over a year of negotiations, the State Department confirmed that diplomatic talks with Iran and other nations about the future of the country’s nuclear capabilities would come to an end whether Iran accepts the deal offered to it by U.S. officials or not.

At the time, the Biden administration believed that Iran’s nuclear program had become so advanced that there would be no benefit to proposing a return to the 2015 arrangement that restricted Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities while gradually lifting economic sanctions on the country.

The first commercial brain-computer interface is starting human trials



The first clinical trials testing a human brain-computer interface will soon take place in the U.S.

The company developing the interface, Synchron Inc., is a competitor of Elon Musk’s Neuralink Corp. Synchron Inc. beginning clinicals puts the company on a path toward mainstreaming controversial technology that could have wider use in helping people overcome disabilities and paralysis.

Bloomberg reported that the company’s early feasibility study to determine whether the product is even practical is being funded by the National Institutes of Health. The study is supposed to determine how the device can be integrated with the human brain safely. If all goes according to plan, the clinical trial will be able to assess how people with disabilities or paralysis can control digital devices hands-free.

This trial represents a landmark in that it will be the first clinical trial conducted by a startup working on brain-machine interfaces; should the clinical trial be successful, Synchron will begin working to sell the product.

Synchron’s clinical puts the company ahead of Musk’s Neuralink. Last year Neuralink raised $205 million, while Synchron raised $70 million.

It is believed that brain-computer interfaces have the ability to empower millions of disabled people to more easily communicate with other people and engage in modern life. According to data gathered by the CDC, paralysis affects more than five million people in the U.S. Brain-computer interface technologies theoretically could alleviate some of the difficulties in these people’s lives.

Synchron’s device, once implanted, travels to the brain through the body’s vascular system, whereas Musk’s Neuralink is implanted directly into the receiver’s skull. Once Synchron’s device reaches the brain, parts of the device translate brain activity into signals that allow text messaging, emailing, online shopping, or other various activities using a paired external device.

In the past, brain-computer interfaces have received regulatory approval to treat patients on a temporary basis, but if Synchron’s trial is successful, the company would secure approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for long-term use. If the clinical trial is successful, this technology will take a giant step forward toward commercial availability.

The Synchron study will involve six American patients in New York City and Pittsburgh. The first patient was enrolled this week at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York. The patient’s identity and demographic information are being kept private.

Should this clinical trial be successful, the next step forward for Snychron will be conducting a wider trial to test for efficacy.

Elon Musk and SpaceX thwarted a Russian electromagnetic attack on Ukraine



SpaceX — a company founded and owned by Elon Musk with the express intention of colonizing Mars — successfully stopped a Russian electromagnetic attack in Ukraine.

In March, Musk’s company worked at a breakneck pace to shut down Russian efforts to disconnect Ukrainians from the internet by jamming the country’s access to its Starlink satellite constellation.

Starlink is operated by SpaceX and provides internet coverage to 32 countries. The constellation consists of more than 2,000 mass-produced small satellites that reside in low orbit and communicate with designated transceivers on the Earth’s surface.

At the outset of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, when it became clear that the Russian government was going to target the Ukrainian people’s ability to communicate, Ukrainian officials pleaded with Musk to intervene and provide them with relief.

Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route.

Dave Tremper, director of electronic warfare for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, lauded SpaceX’s ability to turn on a dime and swiftly stymie Russia’s efforts to jam the Starlink satellite’s ability to provide broadband.

Defense News reported that Tremper said, “The next day [after reports about the Russian jamming effort hit the media], Starlink had slung a line of code and fixed it, and suddenly that [Russian jamming attack] was not effective anymore. From [the] EW technologist’s perspective, that is fantastic … and how they did that was eye-watering to me.”

Tremper noted that it would have taken the American government considerably longer to counteract the Russian electromagnetic attack than it did Musk’s company.

Tremper said, “We need to be able to have that agility. We need to be able to change our electromagnetic posture to be able to change, very dynamically, what we’re trying to do without losing capability along the way.”

Noting that electromagnetic warfare requires very finely tuned machinery and highly skilled operators, Tremper said the Russian invasion of Ukraine indicated how important it was to make sure that American personnel were properly trained in electromagnetic warfare operations.

He said, “It is a very hard problem, if you don’t have well-trained operators. The degree of coordination and synchronization of these types of operations is such that the undertrained operator will have a harder time pulling off those types of events successfully.”

This is not the only time that Elon Musk has thwarted the Russians’ plans in the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

When the Russian government threatened to drop the International Space Station on the Earth by ceasing to provide it with resources and technology for propulsion, Musk said that he would keep the station from falling onto the planet.
