A city councilman in Virginia was savagely set on fire by a lunatic who stormed into his workplace carrying gallons of fuel and ignited the lawmaker Wednesday morning in the latest sickening attack against an American elected official.
Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler was allegedly set on fire after Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, barged into Showcase Magazine, a local monthly publication, and dumped a five-gallon bucket of gasoline on the pol around 11:30 a.m., according to the Danville Police Department and the outlet’s publisher, Andrew Brooks.
Vogler, a 38-year-old married father of two, managed to escape the office and ran to the front of the building, but the monster followed him and torched him.
The extent of Vogler’s injuries is unknown, but Brooks noted he was awake and talking following the terrifying incident and was being taken to a burn center in Lynchburg.

[Regnum] US President Donald Trump said that financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of human trafficking and the corruption of minors, repeatedly took young women away from his beach spa club in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
"The girls he hired were taken from the spa. When I found out about it, I said to him, 'Look, we don't want you taking our people, whether it's the spa or anything else,' " Politico quoted the American leader as saying.
Took away — does that mean he offered them jobs or that he kidnapped them?
Trump added that Epstein did it again soon after, at which point, according to the White House chief, he ordered the financier to get out and severed all ties with him.
The publication noted that incidents of “abduction” of girls occurred several decades ago.
Epstein was arrested in New York on July 6, 2019. He was accused of arranging visits to his home from 2002 to 2005 for dozens of underage girls, including 14-year-olds. He was also accused of human trafficking. On August 10, 2019, he committed suicide in his prison cell. The criminal case against him was closed, the materials were classified, as they could shed light on some influential people, including politicians.
The first part of the case materials was declassified on January 4, 2024. It included the names of more than 150 people, including former US President Bill Clinton and British Prince Andrew. Trump, taking office, promised to tell the public what the FBI hid in the Epstein case.
On July 17, The Wall Street Journal reported that in 2003, Epstein allegedly received a gift from the US President in the form of a letter for his 50th birthday. The letter consisted of several lines of typewritten text in the form of a drawing of a naked woman. Trump allegedly accompanied the drawing with a wish to fill Epstein's every day with wonderful secrets. US Vice President J.D. Vance denied the article, calling the story complete and utter nonsense.
The American leader threatened to sue the newspaper, its parent company NewsCorp, and the holding's owner Rupert Murdoch over the article about the postcard for Epstein. According to the head of the White House, the publication printed false and defamatory information. Trump later carried out his threats and filed a lawsuit for defamation.
The US president expressed outrage on July 24 over the intense coverage of the Epstein case, complaining that his team was unable to stop the spread of "conspiracy theories" about him and that the media was overly focused on him.

We know about Epstein and that is not our interest. We want to know who was in his crowd and what they did. We want the folks that are being protected.

[DW] A "Senator" Mark Warner tool
The National Security Agency removed its top lawyer after The Daily Wire exposed her past work investigating President Donald Trump for Democrats and penning op-eds praising censorship and defending the intelligence community’s treatment of Trump associates like Carter Page.
Teamwork! The Daily Wire presents the evidence, and the Trump team uses the evidence to build a case.
The intelligence agency’s webpage listing April Doss as general counsel was deleted and "multiple former officials" told The New York Times that Doss had been removed. The removal shows that, after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said documents show a conspiracy of "manufactured intelligence" to sabotage the president, the Trump administration is taking steps to ensure that people involved in the discredited probe are not still actively working in key roles.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), when serving as the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence panel, hired Doss to tie Trump to Russia. Warner lashed out at her firing, further illustrating her close ties to Democrats.
"We should be outraged by the firing of April Doss, a deeply principled public servant, apparently for the role that she played in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s bipartisan investigation into Russian election interference," Warner said, according to NBC. "Her dismissal appears to be the result of a politically motivated smear campaign driven by a far-right conspiracy theorist, not any legitimate concern about her conduct or qualifications."
The Daily Wire’s July 23 story showed how Doss had repeatedly made mistakes by advocating for the might of the security state to clamp down on "misinformation" in cases where she turned out to be wrong. That included using criticism of vaccines as justification for crackdowns and blaming Republican "extremists" for a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, where there is evidence that federal assets actually entrapped the suspects.
Doss falsely accused Trump — until this week her boss — of causing an "insurrection," despite no one being charged with such a crime, and said the January 6 protest was "deadly," a reference to the false claims that protesters had killed police there. She also defended the treatment of Michael Flynn and Carter Page.
Doss’s strong advocacy for censorship by the government and tech firms put her at odds with important policy planks of the Trump administration. Trump’s Federal Trade Commission has aggressively investigated ad firms for their role in censoring so-called disinformation, such as the New York Post’s true story about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The story also explained how NSA officials concealed Doss’s 2022 hire from Congress because officials and Democrats had blocked the appointment of a Republican with a similar background into the same general counsel role in Trump’s first term, calling it inappropriately political — a move they knew would open them to charges of double standards if Doss’s hiring were known.
Just as they did during the failed Russia investigation, the media and Democrats worked together to spread misinformation after Doss was terminated.
Warner said Doss "appeared to" have been fired because of Laura Loomer, after the Times used the sub-headline "a far-right conspiracy theorist had amplified criticism of the lawyer and her previous work." Much of the article’s framing revolved around the fact that Loomer had shared an X post summarizing The Daily Wire’s story, while omitting the story’s actual findings, other than the fact that Doss had previously worked for Democrats.
Although the Times’ decision to focus on a literal retweet instead of the actual story was unusual, the rest of the media immediately adopted it verbatim, with MSNBC’s headline blaring "Right-wing influencer allegedly helps oust a National Security Agency leader (again)," and The Daily Beast saying "Witch Hunter Laura Loomer Claims Scalp of NSA’s Top Lawyer."
The Times’ claim that Doss’s removal was due to Loomer — which the paper used to discredit the move, because it has previously painted her as a "far-right" conspiracy theorist with inappropriate influence in the Trump administration — was also based on misinformation, with the paper saying an anonymous person told it "Loomer’s criticism appeared to have a role in the firing."
Joel Valdez, a Pentagon spokesman, had indicated to The Daily Wire that Doss’s firing was in process ever since the outlet asked about her on July 17, saying that there would be an "update" on her employment status coming shortly. Loomer’s retweet came only after The Daily Wire story was published July 23.

I have it on good authority.
Right after those listed in the Epstein files are dealt with, she and her democrat co-conspirators will be indicted next.
#2
MSNBC and the rest can write stupid biased headlines like that all they want.
Every time I re-read them, my smile just gets bigger.
If we had only been able to predict this last year...

I agree with Warner's outrage. I can’t believe that it took 6 months to bum rush her out of government. We will need another 16 years at this glacial pace.

They've wormed themselves into the bureaucracy. However, it's now a team sport by so many on the other side to hunt them down and out them. Wiesenthal them.
[Federalist] Acrony of then-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper threatened to withhold a promotion from a senior intelligence official unless he concurred in the fake Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, notes obtained exclusively by The Federalist show.
The notes made public for the first time today recount a conversation the top analyst in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) had with an unnamed superior who worked closely with the then-Director James Clapper, according to sources familiar with the document.
The release of the notes represents the latest cache of documents declassified by the Trump administration official concerning the ICA that outgoing President Barack Obama ordered, which falsely assessed that Putin "aspired" to help Trump win the election. An earlier release by the current Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, revealed the senior intelligence official — whom her office identified as an ODNI whistleblower — had been charged with conducting a "scrub," which is a review, of the intelligence in the non-compartmented ICA. Emails released last week by Gabbard show the top analyst expressing shock over the ICA’s reliance on the Steele dossier because the versions the analyst reviewed included no intel relying on the Hillary Clinton-based fairy tale of opposition research.
