โTake Our Border Backโ Convoy Propelled By Religious Extremists Tied To Mike Flynn

A so-called โTake Our Border Backโ convoy is underway to support Texas Governor Greg Abbottโs defiance of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding the southern border. Several convoy organizers are religious extremists with ties to disgraced retired Lieutenant General Mike Flynn, a top proponent of the 2020 โStop the Stealโ movement, which was fueled by religious extremism as well.
Convoy organizer Kim Yeater has a show โ โTake Your Power Backโ โ that is sponsored by Flynn. She has said that her activism began with a dream from God in which she saw an explosion and God told her, โIT IS THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD.โ an apparent reference to the shot that sparked the American Revolution.
Per LinkedIn, Yeater volunteers for the (San Diego-based) Awaken megachurch. The megachurch has hosted Flynnโs Reawaken America Tour (RAT), as reported by journalist Kate Burns in an expansive Awaken exposรฉ in 2023. That year, Awaken hosted an โEmergeโ menโs conference where participants wore military gear and wielded machine guns, while pretending to rescue a child from sex traffickers, as shown in a viral video posted by @ChristnNitemare on โXโ. Awakenโs lead pastor, Jurgen Matthesius, has referred to โthe Leftโ as โsatanic murderers.โ
Awaken partners with Turning Point USA, a nonprofit founded by Charlie Kirk, who has accused public schools of โgroomingโ children. Kirk has also championed the โSeven Mountainsโ of influence, a dominionist ideology described here. The ideology was popularized by Lance Wallnau, an apostle in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) dominionist movement, who has spoken at Awaken, as has NAR Apostle Jim Garlow. Awaken also partners with โRMNT,โ a political action group that trains school board candidates. Yeater has emceed RMNT events.
Yeaterโs convoy co-organizers include veteran Pete Chambers, who sits on the board of โGlobal Tek MDโ with Flynn (as discovered by @visionsurreal on โXโ) and has said that he left the military to โjoin the Army of God.โ They also include Robert Agee, who claims to have spoken during Flynnโs RAT, calls the border situation a โspiritual warโ and calls himself โpart of the army of the Lord.โ
Another convoy organizer, Craig Hudgins of Virginia Beach, helped organize an April 2023 gathering (the โFirst Landing 1607โ) comprised of โChristian nationalists committed to โre-dedicating (re-marrying) the nation back to God,โ per Virginia Beach local news. The gathering included Chambers, Family Research Council chair Michelle Bachman (a Garlow protege), media personality Glenn Beck, and David Barton, a top proponent of the militant โBlack Robe Regimentโ pastors movement. The gathering also included Reverend William Cook, founder and CEO of โAmericaโs Black Robe Regimentโ and the โBlack Robe Regiment of Virginia.โ
Cook (wearing an Oath Keepers shirt) had previously shared a stage with Flynn and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, a subsequently convicted seditionist, during the pro-Trump Jericho March rally in 2020. In 2022, Flynn and Garlow attended the commissioning of 150 pastors into Cookโs โAmericaโs Black Robe Regiment.โ
..
Still no drag queens, trans, or books (maybe the lack of one, not sure). Just the extreme right, "christian" nationalist, trump supporters, and religious leaders so far. They've continued to be busy.

Justice Sotomayor speaks on frustration following some Supreme Court rulings
By Devan Cole, CNN
3 minute read
Updated 7:27 PM EST, Mon January 29, 2024
https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/29/politics/sotomayor-supreme-court-frustration/index.html
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor opened up on Monday about the โfrustrationโ she said she experiences daily as the high courtโs conservative supermajority continues to move the country further to the right.
โI live in frustration. And as you heard, every loss truly traumatizes me in my stomach and in my heart. But I have to get up the next morning and keep on fighting,โ Sotomayor, the courtโs senior liberal member, said at an event at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.
โHow can you look at those people and say that youโre entitled to despair? Youโre not. Iโm not,โ she said, responding to a question from the schoolโs dean about how students there increasingly feel discouraged by the current court and how itโs shaping American law. โChange never happens on its own. Change happens because people care about moving the arc of the universe toward justice, and it can take time and it can take frustration.โ
The comments from Sotomayor come as the majority-conservative high court is poised to issue rulings on a number of contentious issues, including gun rights and the power of federal agencies. The courtโs liberal members have found themselves on the losing side of numerous blockbuster cases in recent years after former President Donald Trump appointed three conservatives justices, and Sotomayor has often publicly bemoaned her colleaguesโ decisions in those matters.
Just last week, after the court cleared the way for Alabama to carry out the first-ever execution of a death row inmate by nitrogen gas, Sotomayor voiced her opposition to the move in a strongly worded dissent that underscored her โdeep sadnessโ over the courtโs order.
โHaving failed to kill Smith on its first attempt, Alabama has selected him as its โguinea pigโ to test a method of execution never attempted before,โ she wrote in dissent. โThis Court yet again permits Alabama to โexperiment โฆ with a human life.โโ
Liberal Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson also publicly dissented from the courtโs order that allowed Kenneth Smithโs execution to move forward.
During Mondayโs event, Sotomayor waded into other topics related to the court, including the impact of oral arguments on a justiceโs vote. At one point, she criticized some criminal defense attorneys who she said have occasionally done a poor job of advocating before the high court.
โI canโt tell you how often Iโll look at (Justice) Neil Gorsuch and Iโll send him a note and say, โI want to kill that lawyer.โ Because he or she didnโt give up that case. Because by the time you come to the Supreme Court, itโs not about your client anymore. Itโs not about their case,โ she said. โItโs about how that legal issue will affect the development of law and how you pitch it โ if you pitch it too broadly, youโre gonna kill the claims of a whole swath of people.โ

โCertainly intimidationโ: Louisiana sues EPA for emails of journalists and โCancer Alleyโ residents
Deep south state escalates its fight against environmental protection with โrareโ use of public record laws

Oliver Laughland for the Guardian and Delaney Nolan for the Intercept
Fri 2 Feb 2024 05.00 EST
Louisianaโs far-right government has quietly obtained hundreds of pages of communications between the Environmental Protection Agency and journalists, legal advocates and community groups focused on environmental justice. The rare use of public records law to target citizens is a new escalation in the stateโs battle with the EPA over its examination of alleged civil rights violations in the heavily polluted region known as โCancer Alleyโ.
Louisiana sued the EPA on 19 December, alleging that the federal agency had failed to properly respond to the stateโs sprawling Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, request sent by former state attorney general Jeff Landry.
Court filings note that the public records case is related to another, ongoing lawsuit brought against the EPA by Landry, a staunch advocate for the oil and gas industry who now serves as Louisianaโs governor. Shortly after Landryโs suit was filed, the EPA dropped its investigation into the Louisiana department of environmental qualityโs permitting practices, which advocates say disproportionately impact Black residents in Cancer Alley............

โSmoking gun proofโ: fossil fuel industry knew of climate danger as early as 1954, documents show

Documents show industry-backed Air Pollution Foundation uncovered the severe harm climate change would wreak
Oliver Milman
@olliemilman
Tue 30 Jan 2024 12.00 EST
The fossil fuel industry funded some of the worldโs most foundational climate science as early as 1954, newly unearthed documents have shown, including the early research of Charles Keeling, famous for the so-called โKeeling curveโ that has charted the upward march of the Earthโs carbon dioxide levels.
A coalition of oil and car manufacturing interests provided $13,814 (about $158,000 in todayโs money) in December 1954 to fund Keelingโs earliest work in measuring CO2 levels across the western US, the documents reveal.
Keeling would go on to establish the continuous measurement of global CO2 at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. This โKeeling curveโ has tracked the steady increase of the atmospheric carbon that drives the climate crisis and has been hailed as one of the most important scientific works of modern times.
The fossil fuel interests backed a group, known as the Air Pollution Foundation, that issued funding to Keeling to measure CO2 alongside a related effort to research the smog that regularly blighted Los Angeles at the time. This is earlier than any previously known climate research funded by oil companies.
In the research proposal for the money โ uncovered by Rebecca John, a researcher at the Climate Investigations Center, and published by the climate website DeSmog โ Keelingโs research director, Samuel Epstein, wrote about a new carbon isotope analysis that could identify โchanges in the atmosphereโ caused by the burning of coal and petroleum.
โThe possible consequences of a changing concentration of the CO2 in the atmosphere with reference to climate, rates of photosynthesis, and rates of equilibration with carbonate of the oceans may ultimately prove of considerable significance to civilization,โ Epstein, a researcher at the California Institute of Technology (or Caltech), wrote to the group in November 1954........more

Republicans said they spent millions at Trumpโs DC hotel out of convenience. Theyโve all but deserted its replacement.
By Robert Maguire and Rebecca Jacobs
January 30, 2024
https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-investigations/republicans-said-they-spent-millions-at-trumps-dc-hotel-out-of-convenience-theyve-all-but-deserted-its-replacement/
Republicans in Congress have adopted a missionaryโs zeal for rooting out presidential corruption and profiteering. There is no detail too insignificant or inconclusive for them to trumpet on cable news as the latest evidence of foreign influence or illicit cash flows. This marks a striking turnaround from the four years of the Trump administration, when Republicans in Congress went out of their way to bankroll Donald Trumpโs presidential profiteering and conflicts of interest.
Nowhere was that passion for filling Trumpโs pockets more apparent than at his DC hotel, which brought in more than $3 million from Republican political organizations during Trumpโs term in office, more than at any other Trump property. During that time, Trumpโs businesses were being used by foreign governments and special interests to gain access and influence not just over Trump and his administration, but also the powerful lawmakers who could be found bumping elbows in the lobby.
However, since becoming a Waldorf Astoria in 2022, GOP spending at the largely unchanged luxury hotel in the Old Post Office building has all but disappeared. This directly conflicts with how Republicans explained their choice of venue at the time. When questions arose about their patronage of the then-presidentโs business, Republicans brushed off concerns of corruption saying that Trumpโs DC hotel was simply a convenient location near Capitol Hill for lawmakers and political operatives to socialize, that they would be there regardless of who owned it.
As such, it would be reasonable to expect that Republicans would continue to frequent the hotel after Trump sold it and it rebranded as a Waldorf Astoria in June 2022, leaving many of the buildingโs luxury public spaces largely unchanged from its time as a Trump property. Yet political spending by GOP groups at the new hotel is virtually nonexistent, clocking in at a measly $37,878, according to the FECโs most recent data covering the 17 months from June 2022 to the end of November 2023. For comparison, GOP groups spent $1,570,239, or 40 times that, in the interval between June 2018 and November 2019โthe last comparable period when the building was still under Trump ownership. In fact, the amount spent since it opened is just a quarter of the $154,500 that then-Speaker Paul Ryanโs joint fundraising committee spent there in a single day in 2018, and a fraction of the $435,034 that Republican groups have spent at Mar-a-Lago, Trumpโs private club and residence, since the Waldorf Astoria opened.
Last year, CREW reported that from its opening in June 2022 to the midterm elections, Republican officials, candidates and fundraising committees spent less than $2,000 at the Waldorf Astoria. In the same five-month period in 2018, Republicans spent more than 400 times that amount with $867,000 paid to the Trump Hotel.
Throughout Trumpโs presidency customers at the hotel asserted that its downtown location and close proximity to the White House and Capitol building made it a convenient choice for gathering. Future-Speaker Kevin McCarthy disregarded concerns about spending at the Trump Hotel, and said that Trumpโs properties are โjust like any other hotel.โ During Trumpโs presidency, McCarthyโs committees spent over a quarter-million dollars at Trump properties and earned Trumpโs support for his bid for Speaker of the House. The day after T-Mobile announced its merger with Sprint, nine T-Mobile executives stayed at Trump Hotel. CEO John Legere tweeted that the hotel was โconvenientโ and that the stay would not โhave any influence on regulatory decisions.โ The Trump administration later approved the merger. The CEO of an energy trade group and Trumpโs own campaign director also asserted that the Trump Hotel was a convenient choice for their events.
Like the Trump Hotel, the Waldorf Astoria holds a five-star status and is additionally home to a restaurant by a world-famous chef. Prior to his run for president, Trumpโs businessesโdrowning in debtโnever took in more than $100,000 from political groups in any single year. With the help of foreign governments and special interests, Republicans helped put Trump back in the black by pouring millions in donor money into his hotel and other properties, saying it was out of convenience. In reality, it seems they just like putting donor money in Trumpโs pocket.

DOJ investigating Cori Bushโs campaign for spending on security services
BY MYCHAEL SCHNELL - 01/30/24 1:12 PM ET
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4437767-cori-bush-doj-investigation/
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) for her campaignโs spending on security services, the congresswoman confirmed on Tuesday.
She said she is โfully cooperatingโ with the probe and denied any wrongdoing.
โFirst and foremost, I hold myself, my campaign, and my position to the highest levels of integrity. I also believe in transparency which is why I can confirm that the Department of Justice is reviewing my campaignโs spending on security services. We are fully cooperating in this investigation, and I would like to take this opportunity to outline the facts and the truth,โ Bush wrote in a statement.
The confirmation from Bush โ which was pushed out from her campaign account โ came one day after the House clerk disclosed on the floor that the office of the House sergeant at arms had received a grand jury subpoena for documents from the DOJ.
Bush on Tuesday disclosed that she is also under investigation by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the House Ethics Committee, and she is cooperating with both. She said, however, that the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), the nonpartisan entity that reviews and refers matters to the Ethics Committee, did not find any wrongdoing against Bush and voted unanimously to dismiss the case.
Punchbowl News reported earlier on Tuesday that Bush was the subject of the DOJ investigation. The Hill reached out to the DOJ for comment.
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), a nonpartisan ethics watchdog, filed a complaint with the FEC in March 2023 requesting that it investigate Bush for potential personal use of campaign funds.
