John Strand on trial - faces 20 years in prison for being on the Capitol grounds on #J6.

Gov. just rested its case - charging Obstruction of Justice.

Strand is one of the only defendants refusing to take a plea deal.

@OANN
Strand took the stand.

Comes from a Navy family, homeschooled.

Defense highlighted Strand’s struggling actor/artist background in Hollywood leading him to take on jobs as a CA licensed security guard.

Strand describes meeting Dr. Simone Gold…
Strand describes his relationship with the significantly older Dr. Gold as one that evolved from professional to more personal. Describes relationship as “imbalanced” and subject to bullying.

Traveled with her to her speaking engagements as personal protection. Including on J6.
Where events turned confused and chaotic quickly. Dr. Gold attended as a speaker, amidst the chaos, speeches are cancelled.

Defense establishes how Strand, a Californian and Floridian, who has not visited DC regularly, was very unfamiliar with the Capitol Grounds.
In following Dr. Gold who was trying to get in front of the crowd to speak, finds himself and the Dr. swept up trapped on the steps of the capitol.

“There was no obvious police line.” Strand recounts.

White House DOUBLES DOWN on “Economy is Great!”Messaging.

@PressSec KJP:

- While Biden is making the economy strong, Republicans sowing chaos with abortion ban

- @GovRonDeSantis + @GregAbbott_TX pulled “cruel” political stunts shipping illegals to Martha’s Vineyard

@OANN
Reporter @simonateba gets a question in:

Asks #JohnKirby if he’s taking over for @PressSec KJP - and if he is, what questions will Kirby be able to ACTUALLY answer

KJP cuts eyes at reporter:

One more question just to ‘get us back on track’
Q: Why isn’t this administration treating Venezuelan refugees the same way it treated Ukrainian and Afghan refugees?

WH KJP: “I understand the question” …

(KJP’s more frequent verbal tic)

These are totally different situations.

It’s the 2nd anniversary of the Abraham Accords and historic peace deals between Israel and key nation states in the Middle East and Europe.

@Peace_Accords @A1Policy cohost a discussion with @jaredkushner.

All quiet from the Biden White House and their Middle East desk.

@OANN Image
Kushner:

Abraham Accords have done amazing things from a national security point of view… but even more remarkably is the accomplishment of simply bringing two formerly hostile parties together to see each other face to face - to share a meal.
Ambassador @robertcobrien discussing the experience of being Trump’s NSA during the historic manifestation of the Abraham Accords:

To be a peacemaker is a dangerous thing. And it’s not often appreciated until many years later. Trump will be remembered for this.

The Biden Admin violates Federal anti #FGM laws and endorses genital mutilation of children daily by calling it "Gender Affirmation."

No one on the left objects.

Trans radicals are no different from the brutality of FGM practicing muslims. Tragic victims from both. #EndFGM

The big takeaway for American Moms and their starving babes is NOT Bill Gates' "plant-based" formula...

MOMS are a baby's top food source.

Yes, working moms have different challenges from our pioneer foremothers but it's easier now than ever to nurse as a modern woman.
Whether you can afford those $500 hidden pumping devices or you use a $5 hand pump.

The idea that 'nursing is hard' is a narrative pushed by $1200 a month lactation consultants and a lucrative baby formula industry.
The good news: More moms in America are nursing their babies than they have in recent past.

I work full time and nurse exclusively my 10.5 month old. Moms need to be encouraged this IS possible.

Re-lactation is also possible for those who think it's too late.

The one time Psaki cries and it's over the "cruelty" of those who want to stand in the way of child gender mutilation.

As I've pointed out before... "#genderaffirming" healthcare as defined by the Biden White House HHS VIOLATES Federal Female Genital Mutilation laws.

Team Biden insists on resuscitating Obama’s Iran deal.

Iran’s IRGC uses at least 15 front companies to successfully circumvent international sanctions.

@NCRIUS calls on current negotiators to ensure these 15 front companies are sanctioned.

AMBASSADOR BOB JOSEPH on Biden's Iran strategy:

Biden's attempts to negotiate with Raisi and return to the outdated JCPOA will only create further failure.

Returning to the "Iran Deal" would be the last step.
Georgetown Professor Matthew Kroenig: Military action against Iranian Regime must be put on the table as a last resort during Biden Iran Talks.
