US prosecutors have reached a deal with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the Pentagon said Wednesday, reportedly involving a guilty plea in exchange for avoiding a death penalty trial. The agreements with Mohammed and two other accused moves their long-running cases toward resolution. These have been bogged down in pre-trial maneuverings for years while the defendants remained held at the Guantanamo Bay military base in Cuba. A Pentagon statement said no details of the deal would be immediately made public at this time, but the New York Times reported

Of course the details won't be released until after the election. There didn't need to be a deal.

Only deal offered should have been - plead guilty and we won’t dip the firing squad bullets in pig fat.

Why? He didn't give almost 3,000 people and untold suffering by thousands more with injuries and loss of loved ones a "plea'' deal. A bullet dipped in Hog fat would be appropriate.

Sign the plea deal, say you lied, and then stick him in front of a firing squad. This guy should be dead. How many Americans died because of 9/11? Would the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq ever have happened if we were never attacked on 9/11? Don't let this guy skate.

From Amir Tsarfati: “ Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind behind the attack, and two other al-Qaeda operatives who worked with him, agreed to a plea deal in which they will plead guilty and be sent to prison, but will not be sentenced to death. PATHETIC!”

1) they should have been shot as fish bait (per #8) on day 2 of their stay at Gitmo. Out of sight. Out of mind. 2) this may sway some minds of New Yorkers who know PDJT would never have allowed this to happen. Re 1) above, now they may be collateral in other potential “prisoner swaps.” If any one doubts the malevolence and evil of the communists in power in our government, doubt no more.

House Republicans are opening an investigation into President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' role in the controversial plea deal offered to three of the 9/11 masterminds. On Wednesday three of the five men who allegedly played pivotal roles in the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001 reached an agreement that would see them detained for life but avoid the death penalty. The White House said it had no role in the pre-trial agreements and just learned of the deal as it was made public.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) officially nominated Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential candidate on Friday, alienating 14 million Democrats who voted for President Joe Biden during the Democrat primary. The DNC began its virtual roll call on Thursday to nominate Harris, preempting its convention later in August. The process was scheduled to take up until Monday, the Associated Press reported, but it finished days early. “I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States,” Harris told reporters. “And I will tell you the tireless work of our delegates, our state leaders and staff has been pivotal in making this moment possible.”

McAteer, a Democrat with generational political ties to the party, claimed his son was subjected to a “side of Kamala Harris which the general public does not know”.

Late last night, America witnessed the whole, unvarnished view of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. It was a sad sight all around. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Russia on Thursday agreed to release four high-profile detainees – Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza – as part of an unprecedented multi-country prisoner exchange.​ Both Biden and Harris were present to greet the Gershkovich, Whelan, and Kurmasheva at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington late Thursday night. Then things got awkward for Harris when she started babbling to reporters shortly after meeting the freed prisoners.

This resolution provides strong evidence of the Party and its leader, Donald J. Trump’s stance towards Jews. Nevertheless, if the Party leaders expect a positive response from the Jewish community in November, they may be disappointed. For years, Donald Trump has been tirelessly trying to gain support from American Jews.

During a back-and-forth with reporters after announcing a prisoner swap deal with Russia on Thursday, a visibly testy and confused President Joe Biden tried to blame his predecessor and possible successor, Donald Trump, for not rescuing hostages that were taken after Biden took office. Biden, who inserted a churlish partisan dig at Trump into his announcement of the deal with Russia, was attempting to depart from the podium when a reporter noted that Trump has “said repeatedly that he could’ve gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange.” “Why didn’t he do it when he was president?” Biden snapped before marching off the stage.

President Joe Biden has sparked fresh health concerns as he was caught on camera staring blankly ahead while his vice president took the lead during a historic prisoner swap between the United States and Russia. The 81-year-old commander in chief appeared to be looking off into the distance as Vice President Kamala Harris gave a statement to a reporter Thursday night. Biden only moved once in the post-midnight appearance, apparently to scratch his head, with his vacant appearance quickly noted by viewers. He did speak earlier on and did not appear to make any verbal flubs - but nonetheless, his subsequent expression disturbed many.

This is a very significant policy proposal. President Trump is supporting a position that Seniors should not pay taxes on Social Security income.This comes on the heels of President Trump supported policy that income received from service tips should not be taxed. Combined, both of these policies would result in massive numbers of middle-class Americans having more money in their bank accounts. The national economic benefits of these two combined policies are extremely significant and could actually offset the financial damage done by Joe Biden. The timing of this announcement coincides with President Trump visiting Chicago. SENIORS SHOULD NOT PAY TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY!

As predicted by many, including yours truly, the fight didn't even last one minute into the first round. The referee declared a technical knockout after 46 seconds.
