Border Patrol procuring a new mobile surveillance system powered by AI and Starlink. "M2S2 will provide operators with high-resolution video and sensor data, supported by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities." Looks like it will be a pickup truck mounted surveillance tower.

Israel is going to geofence "every major church in California, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado and all Christian Colleges" and track churchgoers as they leave to target them with Pro-Israel ads. Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon's firm is doing their FARA compliance.

NEW: ICE can't stop awarding no-bid contracts with dubious justifications. Remember those "DEFEND THE HOMELAND" ICE propaganda vehicles? Now they've forked over more than an a million dollars to a Wyoming company with no relevant history, to "wrap and upfit" the SUVs. 🔗below.

As the debate rages over left-wing vs right-wing violence, the DOJ yanked a research paper showing the right is clearly responsible for the deadliest attacks, far more than leftist or “Islamic” extremists. The page now redirects to the homepage.

🚨 NEW: Kash Patel’s DOJ Scrubbed Study Showing Right-Wing Violent Attacks Outpace All Other Extremism

As debates rage online about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, the DOJ's research arm appears to have removed a research paper stating the obvious.

WSJ just added an editors note at the top of the story 😬
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article detailed how an internal law enforcement bulletin said that ammunition recovered following the Charlie Kirk shooting was engraved with expressions of "transgender and anti-fascist ideology." Justice Department officials later urged caution about the bulletin by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, saying it may not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition, and the article was updated Thursday to reflect that. This editor's note was appended on Friday, Sept. 12, after Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said the engravings included one that said "Hey fascist!" along with other messages and symbols. He gave no indication that the ammunition included any transgender references.

The Right Way
"They've backed conspiracy theorists for high office, mobilized activists around the 'big lie' and hired one of Arizona's fake electors to help run their campaign arm," said Heather Sawyer, the president of the watchdog group American Oversight. "Since January 6, TPUSA has become an animating force behind the election-denial movement." What happened between December 26th and December 27th that you went from doing nothing in response for January 6th to being involved in planning support for January 6th? I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment right. Q And I should've gone here to page 5 to clarify that, because you write back, "An investment of $1,250,000 for TPA will allow us to deploy social media influencers to Washington, D.C., on Jan 6th, produce high-quality capturing video content that will educate millions about the significance of Jan 6th, mobilize students to fight against voter fraud, as well help expand Turning Point Action's campus army towards the President's America first goals/objectives." So is it fair to say, Mr. Kirk, that you only decided to be involved in supporting January 6th once it was clear that Ms. Fancelli was going to provide a substantial donation to enable that participation? A I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment right. Q At the bottom of page 5 of this exhibit, on December 28th in the morning, Ms. Wren writes, "POTUS is now speaking on January 6th, so we need this to be a very legit operation and crowd building. I'm not comfortable with these other organizations. Can we step up TPUSA involvement? Also, I think you need to speak." In response you write back, "Who told you he is speaking?" Ms. Wren says, "White House. We had to move the location, have been dealing with Secret Service all day, moving the permits into our name." And you write back, "I find it hard to believe that he will speak." First, did Ms. Wren ever tell you who from the White House conveyed to her the

“The Right Way”
Kirk said that Jewish people control "not just the colleges; it's the nonprofits, it's the movies, it's Hollywood, it's all of it." Kirk also said" the number one funding mechanism of radical, open border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions, and nonprofits" is "Jewish donors." Claims that wealthy Jewish people and donors control major institutions and Hollywood are common antisemitic tropes.

This image, likely drawn by Mar-a-Lago member and Epstein associate Joel Pashcow, depict Epstein grooming three young girls and then years later they appear at Trump's Florida resort. Creepy stuff.

Others have pointed this out, but worth repeating that this insane drawing from the Epstein birthday book 100% depicts Mar-a-Lago in the background.

ICE operations in Chicago have begun. The official DHS account posted a picture of one of their new SUVs with a "Defend the Homeland" livery on top of the federal parking garage at 450 S Federal St. This site may be used as a staging ground for ICE vehicles. Activists, take note.
