Project Veritas Gets Raided by FBI After Biden Daughter Diary Leaked
The FBI has conducted multiple searches of people tied to the conservative political group Project Veritas, part of a probe into how parts of President Biden’s daughter Ashley’s diary were disclosed to the public without her consent in the final days of the 2020 election.
Justice Department agents conducted two searches on Thursday in the New York City area, The New York Times reported, citing two unnamed sources with familiarity in the matter.
The group has long maintained its veracity as a legitimate journalistic endeavor, but liberal organizations have been working overtime to vilify the group, with seem even going so far as to declare Project Veritas a “spying” group.
Proponents of PV believe that these attacks are meant to undermine the credibility of their reporting.

********************************************12 Biological Males Convicted of Violent Sex Crimes Transferred to Women’s Prisons After Identifying as Women
A dozen violent male prisoners in Scotland who identify as transgender have been relocated to women’s prisons over the past 18 months, according to a review by corrections officials in the United Kingdom.
The Times of London reported that, through an official request from the Scottish Prison Service for transparency, the agency admitted that it had indeed moved men convicted of violent crimes — including sex crimes — into close quarters facilities with women. If that news isn’t shocking enough, 11 out of 12 of the men who were moved in with women had not even undergone procedures to “transition.”
They had simply identified as the opposite sex and were cleared to bunk with physiologically smaller and less physically imposing women.
Thankfully, the revelation brought on by opponents of having the state force women to share living spaces with convicted and dangerous men might lead to some reforms. That’s what Dr. Kate Coleman, the director of a group called Keep Prisons Single Sex, hopes.
“The evidence clearly indicates that where prisoners of the male sex, no matter how they identify, are held in women’s prisons, women in prison are negatively impacted,” Coleman told the Times. “I trust that the SPS will pay heed to that fact.”
The SPS’ experiment with housing men who identify as transgender in women’s prisons began in 2014.
One former governor of the Cornton Vale prison for women in Sterling told the Times that prison officials understand the stakes for women who are confined to facilities, such as the one she oversaw.
“My experience is that it is always an issue to have trans women in with female prisoners and you have to think beyond the obvious which is physical or sexual threat, which is sometimes an issue, to the very fact of the presence of male-bodied prisoners among vulnerable women causes them distress and consternation,” Rhona Hotchkiss said.
The SPS was less than transparent with regard to speaking about the specifics of just how many men are currently an added stressor for women serving time after having been convicted of crimes in Scotland.
A spokesperson for the prison system offered a vague statement that risks are taken into account before men are sent to share spaces with women.
“All cases are treated on an individual basis and are risk-assessed through a multi-disciplinary case conference, transgender case conference supported by transgender policy,” the spokesperson said. “Any decisions about the location of transgender prisoners are only made after an individual risk assessment has taken place. This process considers the risks potentially presented both to and by the individuals.”
“We take very seriously our duty of care towards all in our custody. We also undertake regular prison surveys, which includes a focus on the experience and needs of the people in our care — this is an important part of the SPS’ evidence base for policy,” the SPS official concluded.
The official did not disclose if any incidents have occurred since men were given the option of serving time with women.
Women tend to be the victims any time the “transgender” movement acquires more “rights.” Despite being convicted of crimes, women, even in prison, deserve safety from violence or sexual assault at the hands of men who are either confused or taking advantage of the loopholes being offered by a culture that has lost its way.
Women, just like men, must navigate hazards to both physical and mental health once sent to prison if they are to ever re-enter society. They don’t deserve to have the added stress of being surrounded by potentially predatory men.
When they serve their sentences, they deserve the dignity to walk out free, and they’re owed as much protection as possible by prison officials. Perhaps the light shed on this issue by advocates for common sense will force the SPS and the Scottish government to bend to common sense.
Men, especially those convicted of sex crimes, have no place in women’s prisons. Rather than empower them to potentially behave as big fish in small ponds, prison officials need to ensure these people remain in men’s prisons, which is where they belong.

Why People Are Now Calling Family Dollar Racist Is Ridiculous!
After a number of crimes in Family Dollar stores happened recently, Family Dollars stores in the St. Louis area put up self-made signs asking customers to remove their hoods before entering their shops.
In the past few weeks, several Family Dollar stores have been the center of crimes, including a robbery at gunpoint and a man firing a gun in a store.
The management of a Family Dollar in St. Louis has found itself in the public spotlight after posting a sign that makes one small request of their customers before entering the store.
The sign sparked a firestorm with cries of racism and discrimination that eventually led to the sign being removed.
The signs, posted near the entrance, read, “Attn Customers: Please remove hoods before entering Family Dollar.”
According to The Daily Caller, “For the objective and unbiased thinker, the reasoning behind the sign makes perfect sense. It ensures that everyone who enters the store is intent on following the rules, knowing that the cameras can get a clear shot of their face.”
St. Louis News 4’s Jasmine Huda interviewed multiple Family Dollar shoppers to get a better sense of how the local customers feel. Some agreed with the policy, saying, “They want people’s faces to be seen by the cameras. And sometimes when you have on a hood, it might block your facial view.”
Frequent and recent robberies took place at the chain store’s nearby locations. So, you can understand why they would have put up such a sign.
In the weeks before the sign was placed in the store window, a clerk at the Family Dollar on South Jefferson was held at gunpoint during an alleged robbery. During a separate incident at Family Dollar’s South Grand location, a man opened fire.
However, not everyone felt the sign was a reasonable security request because of the sign’s “discriminatory undertone.”
When asked his thoughts on the sign, customer Roger Williams explained, “I would call it discrimination. That’s not right. It shouldn’t matter that you’re going in there with your hood on. If you’re not stealing, and you’re buying, purchasing something, what’s the problem? That shouldn’t be an issue.”
Family Dollar headquarters responded to the matter, saying they were unaware of any signs. Public & Media Relations Manager Bryn R. Winburn of Family Dollar said, “It is not Company policy to ask our customers to remove hoods or sweatshirts before entering our stores.”
The retail chain has also launched an “internal investigation” into the matter. The store removed the sign on account of the public outrage.
The sign applies to everyone. If you believe the sign to be discriminatory, then you must assume that only one race of people walks in the cold with their hoods up. Perhaps there is one race that is more likely to wear hoods, but the rule applies to everyone regardless of their race, religion, or anything else.

*******************************************Mainstream Media Has Abandoned the American Working Class
Police and health care workers, who were deemed heroes last year for working through the pandemic, now face being fired from their job if they don’t get vaccinated against COVID-19. Why are corporate media not giving them any gratitude, but instead “sneering or even rage?” According to Batya Ungar-Sargon, that’s because the mainstream media has abandoned the American working class and catered only to the liberal, highly educated elite.
Ungar-Sargon is a deputy opinion editor of Newsweek. She calls herself a lefty and a liberal. Last month, her new book “Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy” was published.
“The last 5, 10 years has been really the abandonment of the working class by journalists on the left,” Ungar-Sargon told EpochTV’s “CrossRoads” program in an interview premiered on Monday. “Now I’m a lefty, and so I’m coming at this as somebody who feels like my job is to elevate the working class, is to elevate laborers, to elevate the poor and their issues. But what happened was the mainstream media—liberal mainstream media—has really abandoned that fight in favor of one around issues of identity, wokeness, issues like critical race theory and intersectionality that are really, really alien to the concerns of working-class Americans of all races.”
Ungar-Sargon said that back in the 19th century, fathers of American journalism like Joseph Pulitzer and Benjamin Day thought that the point of journalism should be by and for and about the working class and the poor. But things have changed.
“What happened was liberals got very educated, especially over the last 20 years, that education has actually translated into affluence,” Ungar-Sargon said. “Liberals have become much more affluent. They’ve become part of the elite, part of the top 10 percent. So journalism was once a working-class trade, and you would have a journalist who made maybe a little bit more than his neighbor the cop. Today, journalism is a very elite caste.”
Ungar-Sargon pointed out that in 1937, under half of journalists had a college degree. Today, 92 percent of journalists have a college degree.
“So you can really see that shift,” Ungar-Sargon said.
Ungar-Sargon said people on the left have come to respect only a certain kind of education—not the education you get from working or living, but the education you get from a university. The more elite the university, the better.
“You have cops and nurses who are now being threatened with firing and actually [being] fired because they don’t want to get the vaccine,” Ungar-Sargon said. “Imagine a world where we would look at these people who went to work every day at the height of the pandemic, and we said to them: ‘Thank you so much for what you did. You don’t want to get vaccinated; we’ll find another way to make sure that the people you interact with are safe. Maybe we’ll do antibody testing. Maybe we’ll do COVID testing every day.’ And you can imagine a world in which the respect for the labor they put in during the pandemic was sort of given back to them.”
“Instead, what you see is just unbelievable sneering and even rage at these people. There’s zero gratitude,” Ungar-Sargon continued. “I think that really stems from that class chasm that we’re seeing in America, where people who have a certain kind of education, they just do not respect the other side, especially if they voted for Donald Trump. They do not think that they have a role in building up this nation.”
Ungar-Sargon said that’s really a shame. She went on to share her views about why the mainstream media has been pushing narratives such as white supremacy.
“Why [is] the media is pushing a narrative that America is a white supremacy when we have never been further from that? The answer that I came up with was it’s to hide the income inequality that the left is really benefiting from, that liberals, that highly educated, meritocratic elite liberals have really benefited from especially over the last 10 years.”
Ungar-Sargon said digital media’s emergence has pushed media, corporations, and different newspapers and outlets toward covering issues that appeal to smaller and smaller subsets of America.
“The real thing that made this sort of woke moral panic happen was the fact that with digital media, we measure success not in terms of circulation, but in terms of engagement,” Ungar-Sargon said, adding that news outlets want their content to go viral and want the attention.
“We know from digital media that the most extreme voices are always going to be the most engaged,” Ungar-Sargon continued. “What this means is that media outlets like CNN that once were catering to the vast American middle, can now cater to the more affluent liberal elites by giving them the thing that makes them the most emotional, that makes them the most engaged—and those things are Trump and racism, right?”
Ungar-Sargon said the media’s abandonment of the American working class is a threat to democracy.
“It’s undermining democracy because a nation in which only the top 10 percent gets any media or any political attention is an oligarchy. It’s not a democracy. And essentially, the left has participated in the de-platforming of the working class. That’s a lot of Americans who you can tell that many on the left feel that they should not have a vote that they should not have a say,” Ungar-Sargon said.
“We have lost respect for the kind of insight and intelligence that is developed outside of a meritocratic, highly educated rat race. And I think that is a huge threat to democracy.”
