Sean Penn: ‘I’m Now Thinking About Taking Up Arms Against Russia’

0

Actor Sean Penn may go to Ukraine to fight Russian forces.

The 61-year-old Oscar-winning celebrity has reportedly been working on a documentary for Vice about escalating tensions in the country since last year, and flew to Ukraine in February to get a firsthand look at the war.

After returning from the warzone in February, the Ukrainian embassy praised Penn’s effort to film the documentary in Kyiv.

“Sean Penn demonstrates the courage that many others, especially Western politicians lack. The more such people in our country now, true friends of Ukraine, who support the struggle for freedom, the sooner it will be possible to stop Russia’s treacherous attack,” the Ukrainian embassy told Newsweek in a translated statement.

Now the actor is contemplating whether to go back to Ukraine to “take up arms against Russia.” 

“Look, my intention is to go back into Ukraine. But I’m not an idiot, I am not certain what I can offer,” Penn told Hollywood Authentic magazine in an interview published Saturday. 

“If you’ve been in Ukraine [fighting] has to cross your mind,” he said. “And you kind of think what century is this? Because I was at the gas station in Brentwood the other day and I’m now thinking about taking up arms against Russia? What the fuck is going on?”

Penn continued: “The only possible reason for me staying in Ukraine longer last time would’ve been for me to be holding a rifle, probably without body armor, because as a foreigner, you would want to give that body armor to one of the civilian fighters who doesn’t have it or to a fighter with more skills than I have, or to a younger man or woman who could fight for longer or whatever.”

The left-wing Hollywood star, who played an Army sergeant in the 1998 Terrence Malick movie The Thin Red Line, said his curiosity about the effects of psychological warfare is also compelling him to fight Russian forces.

Pope Says Fetishizing Excrement, Disinformation Are ‘Common Journalistic Sins’

0

Pope Francis’ love affair with liberal journalists may be coming to a close with the pontiff sharply rebuking their claims that the Vatican is quietly in support of Vladimir Putin.

A number of journalists have attempted to claim that Pope Francis’ refusal to directly name Vladimir Putin is evidence that the Holy See is implicitly supportive of the Russian regime. In a letter to Argentinian journalist Gustavo Sylvestre, Francis described the ‘ideologized journalism’ plaguing newspapers around the world.

“Always in that information are some of the sins that journalists tend to fall into: disinformation, slander, defamation, coprophilia. And I’m told some article authors get paid for this. Sad! A vocation as noble as that of communicating is soiled in this way,” wrote Francis.

Coprophilia is the sexual obsession with feces and defecation.

TRENDING: “None of Them Should Be in Jail. They Should All Be Out On Bail…It Is an American Gulag” – Judge Napolitano on the DOJ’s and Court’s Actions with January 6ers

Francis has previously described journalists as suffering from the sin of coprophilia, writing in 2016 that, “the media should be very clear, very transparent, and not fall prey…to the sickness of coprophilia, which is always wanting to communicate scandal, to communicate ugly things, even though they may be true.”

The shift in rhetoric from the Vatican follows closely behind recent moves to honor journalists who have been covering the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine where Francis stated that journalists on both sides of the conflict were working for “the common good” and those who fall on the battlefields “were courageous.”

“I would like to express my condolences for your fallen colleagues, whatever side they were from,” he said. “Your job is a job for the common good. They have fallen in service of the common good of information. Let’s not forget that they were courageous. I pray for them, I pray that the Lord rewards their work.”

While he has not directly blamed the war on Putin, the pope has made clear his position that the bloodshed is a needless war between brothers, likening it to Cain slaying Abel.

Illinois Man Sentenced to a Year in Prison After Pleading Guilty to Illegal Sturgeon Fishing in Kentucky

0

A U.S. District Court in Paducah, Kentucky, handed down a hefty sentence for fishing-related crimes on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. The court sentenced Daniel Allen, 44, of Brookport, Illinois, to one year and one day in federal prison after Allen pled guilty to illegally catching sturgeon from the Ohio River and selling the eggs to a caviar distributor in another state. Allen’s prison sentence will be followed by two years of supervision, and he has already agreed to pay $10,000 in restitution.

Allen admitted to the court that between November 2018 and April 2019 he harvested shovelnose sturgeon from the Ohio River along the Kentucky/Illinois border using illegally sized mesh nets. He was also fishing out of season and targeting sturgeon near the Smithland Lock and Dam, which is closed to commercial fishing.

In addition to these crimes, Allen admitted to selling the sturgeon eggs to a caviar distributor in Tennessee. This violated the Lacey Act, which prohibits the transporting and selling of any plant, fish, or wildlife species that is harvested illegally. And because Allen crossed state lines to sell the roe, he was charged with a federal crime.

According to Kentucky Today, Allen’s violation of the Lacey Act also constituted a felony because the sturgeon eggs—which are regulated as caviar in Kentucky and Illinois—had a market value in excess of $350.

Processed shovelnose sturgeon roe is also known as hackleback caviar. Although market prices vary, a pound of hackleback caviar can fetch $400 or more, and one wholesale caviar dealer even compares it to the Osetra and Sevruga varieties, which come from the Caspian Sea and are two of the finest, most expensive types of caviar in the world.

Commercial fishing for shovelnose sturgeon is highly regulated, as it is the only wild sturgeon that can be legally harvested in the U.S. It is also the smallest species of freshwater sturgeon native to North America, and rarely exceeds 30 inches in length. Females generally start producing eggs when they reach 20 to 25 inches (or five to seven years of age), according to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and one mature female can produce anywhere between 10,000 and 200,000 eggs.

AmericanGulag Receives Phone Call from Jailed Political Prisoner Jeremy Brown

0

Please pray for America’s political prisoners this Easter weekend.

Former Green Beret Jeremy Brown refused to be an informant for the FBI on Jan. 6 — So they imprisoned him for attending the rally.

Article by: Nick Mastrangelo and Laura Elizabeth Jenkins

On Thursday afternoon, September 30th, at 3:45 PM Eastern the FBI raided Jeremy Brown’s home and arrested Jeremy. They charged Jeremy, a Green Beret, with trespassing on the US Capitol Grounds. Jeremy broke the invisible boundary around the US Capitol on January 6th along with tens of thousands of fellow Trump supporters. The boundary was not marked and the protesters were not warned that they were inside the invisible no-go zone.

The Gateway Pundit was notified by his family and an attorney of his arrest in September. Jeremy is still sitting behind bars for standing outside the US Capitol on January 6th. Democrats and Liz Cheney call this “justice.”

Jeremy Brown’s actual crime was refusing to be an FBI informant on January 6th.  So the Feds arrested him months later.

The FBI sent 20 vehicles for his arrest. DHS and Pinellas County law enforcement were also present. The FBI was in Jeremy’s home for 5-and-a-half hours looking for evidence. We were told the FBI did not read Jeremy his rights.

As we reported months ago, Jeremy Brown refused to be an informant for the dirty FBI — They wanted him to be one of their operatives at the Jan. 6 Trump rallies. He refused.

In October the judge overseeing Jeremy’s case refused to grant him bail. 

Wednesday was Jeremy’s 196th day at Pinellas County Jail.

Jeremy remains in good spirits despite a flurry of recent legal activity. The court denied Jeremy’s court-appointed lawyer’s dismissal, forcing Jeremy to argue his own case while the court-appointed lawyer was directed to the back seat. Jeremy also believes that on April 21st, the government may bring 3 new charges against him. All this is happening as we approach his D.C. status conference on April 26th.

Here is the access code for Jeremy’s status conference on April 30th:  877 848 7030 Extension 3218747

When talking through the J6 cases from a bird’s eye view, Jeremy advised the American people to monitor the patterns of prosecutors and defendants in upcoming case events. As an expert in psychological warfare, Jeremy believes the government is still allowing the actions of agent provocateurs and its own agencies to define what happened on January 6th. As a retired Green Beret, Jeremy is no stranger to the methods used by the United States government to achieve monopolistic dominance over the American people’s freedoms and liberties.

Jeremy even went on to detail recent conversations with other Pinellas County inmates, learning and sharing how their liberties have been stomped on. Other pretrial J6 defendants have shared similar experiences.

AmericanGulag will continue to set up interviews with Jeremy and refuse to allow his story to go silent.

Please pray for America’s political prisoners this Easter weekend.

Bellingham, Washington School District Pays Middle School Students $2,000 to Perform Drag Show

0

Bellingham, Washington – A Bellingham middle school awarded children $2,000 to perform a drag show.

Whatcom Middle School’s Gender Sexuality Alliance club (yes, for 10-12 year olds) came up with the idea to host the “Drop Dead Gorgeous Drag Show.”

Totally normal.

But don’t worry because the school insists the drag show will be “behaviorally appropriate,” KGMI reported.

TRENDING: “None of Them Should Be in Jail. They Should All Be Out On Bail…It Is an American Gulag” – Judge Napolitano on the DOJ’s and Court’s Actions with January 6ers

Via KGMI:

Word of a drag show at Bellingham’s Whatcom Middle School has raised some eyebrows, but the district says it’s not what some have portrayed it as.

The Drop Dead Gorgeous Drag Show was conceived by Whatcom’s GSA student organization as part of Bellingham Schools’ Think BIG Challenge.

It’s one of seven student clubs that are receiving grants of $1,000 to $2,500 for ideas ranging from science, the environment, student transportation, even crochet.

The money is not coming from the district but is a grant from the Bellingham Public Schools Foundation, the district’s non-profit partner.

The event hasn’t been scheduled yet but will be extracurricular and will happen outside of school hours.

Judicial Watch Reports Mexican Drug Cartels Are Flying Thousands of Drones at Border to Keep an Eye on US Law Enforcement and to Transport Drugs

0

Welcome to the Biden border run by Mexican drug cartels.

Judicial Watch reports on Mexican drug cartels that are running the US border.

Mexican drug cartels have conducted more than 9,000 drone flights into U.S. airspace in the last year to surveil American law enforcement and security operations in the southern border region, a senior Homeland Security official told Judicial Watch this week. The drones are observing federal, state, county, and city agencies near the Mexican border, including the U.S. Border Patrol, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas National Guard, county sheriffs and local police. The Border Patrol, which operates under Customs and Border Protection (CBP), has captured about a dozen of the drones, and accessed the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ (UAVs) guidance and memory systems to gain intelligence information, according to a high-level official at the agency.

Judicial Watch learned about the Mexican cartel drone incursions during a recent visit to the southern border and specifically while interviewing federal officials at the CBP Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas. Judicial Watch is further investigating the matter and has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with CBP, the 60,000-member agency charged with keeping terrorists and their weapons out of the U.S., for all records regarding the use of drones by criminal organizations operating along the U.S.-Mexico border for the purpose of surveilling U.S. law enforcement officials or otherwise facilitating illegal activity. The federal public-record request includes, but is not limited to, all information depicting the known or estimated number of instances of the use of such technology, as well as all reports, intelligence assessments, analyses, or similar records related to their use.

Federal officials on the ground tell Judicial Watch that the cartels use the UAV surveillance flights to facilitate human smuggling and drug trafficking. Specifically, they help identify gaps in border coverage and assist the cartels in overwhelming certain areas to create a diversion for moving sensitive or high value loads through alternate border locations. The data analyzed from the confiscated drones has also provided U.S. authorities with other law-enforcement sensitive information that cannot be made public, government sources said, adding that drug cartels started using the devices a few years ago. Brandon Judd, the president of the union representing the nation’s 20,000 Border Patrol agents, told Judicial Watch the drones are also used to smuggle small amounts of drugs into the U.S. “They are dropping fentanyl,” Judd said this week. “They fly into certain locations, drop them to the ground and fentanyl is taken off of them and they take back off into Mexico.” The drones are not military grade, Judd confirmed, but rather “run of the mill” that can be purchased anywhere.

TGP has reported multiple times on the crisis at the Southern Border.

“This Is a Really, Really Bad Number” – CNN Admits Joe Biden Is Most Unpopular President in History at This Point in His Presidency

0

This had to hurt.

CNN admitted on Friday that Joe Biden’s polling is hitting rock bottom. Biden’s numbers are now the lowest ever for any president in the Quinnipiac, Hart/IPSOS, and CBS News polls. Biden is one point away from the lowest Reuters number ever.

Even with stacked polling and a compliant media, Joe Biden and Democrats are tanking in the polls. Maybe Americans want to keep their country for a while longer.

This news must be very disappointing for the Marxist-globalists. Look for them to ban and censor polling next.

Jen Psaki Agrees that Peter Doocy Sounds Like a “Stupid Son of a B*tch” for Asking the Only Tough Questions of the Failed Biden Regime

0

It’s widely known that FOX News White House correspondent Peter Doocy is the only real reporter who regularly asks the Biden regime the hard questions on their failed policies. Doocy is the only reporter in the White House Press Room who will confront Psaki on the radical and destructive policies.

The rest of the reporters in the room are lapdogs to the lies. They support the regime completely.

It is astonishing to watch the fake news mainstream media’s behavior around Jen Psaki compared to how they treated Kayleigh McEnany or Sarah Huckabee Sanders. It is so clear they are no longer reporters but the American version of Pravda.

This week White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attacked Fox News during a podcast taping Thursday night, claiming the cable network fed White House correspondent Peter Doocy questions that “might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.”

FYI — Watch this liar smear Trump’s highly successful immigration policies while at the same time promoting open borders.
