A Soros-funded site, ProPublica, has investigated Justice Clarence Thomas endlessly for nothing. One of those nothings was his stay with billionaire friends, which he didn’t report. He didn’t have to report them, but that doesn’t matter to the leftists. Joe Biden is not reporting his free vacations at billionaire’s homes, and ProPublica is totally uninterested.

California police say they have arrested a transient illegal alien who had allegedly outfitted a van to be a "rape dungeon on wheels" in the San Gabriel Mountains. KTTV-TV reported that the man was in the process of raping a 20-year-old woman when deputies from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Office rescued her. 'Deeply troubling and incomprehensible.' Police arrested 40-year-old Eduardo Sarabia after finding his van on Highway 39 near the 21 mile marker above the city of Azusa. The officer ordered him out of the van at gunpoint and told a police dispatcher that the officer could hear a woman screaming for help from the back of the van. Sheriff’s Lt. William Fillpot said that Sarabia had sexually assaulted one woman on Sunday and another woman on Monday between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m. Police are asking for help from the public to identify other possible victims. “Based on the nature of the allegations, detectives believe there may be additional unidentified victims,” read the statement. Sarabia was charged with two felony counts of forcible rape and oral copulation and held without bail. District Attorney Gascón, who has been heavily criticized for his lax criminal prosecution policies, released a statement about the arrest. “As District Attorney, it is my solemn duty to pursue justice for victims of violent crimes, especially those involving sexual assault,” the statement read. The statement said that Sarabia had driven both victims up to the secluded area in the forest on different days in order to sexually assault them. “The horrific and violent sexual assault that these two survivors endured by the alleged suspect is deeply troubling and incomprehensible," he added. "Our thoughts are with the victims during this tremendously difficult time."If Sarabia is convicted of the charges, he faces up to a maximum sentence of life in prison. Some Californian Republicans used the story as an example to criticize Biden's border policies. "This illegal immigrant tortured women in a 'rape dungeon on wheels.' We need to shut down the border and end sanctuary state protections immediately," wrote Assemblywoman Kate Sanchez on social media. The San Gabriel Mountain range is located in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties in southern California. Here's more about the horrific allegations: Like Blaze News?

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and more than a dozen other House Republicans are pushing a measure that targets the Federal Reserve System. The measure includes text that declares, "The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and each Federal reserve bank are hereby abolished" and "the Federal Reserve Act is hereby repealed."Massie announced the introduction of the measure on Thursday, the same day that the Dow Jones Industrial Average stock index surpassed 40,000 for the first time before ultimately giving up its gains and closing slightly down for the day.'If we really want to reduce inflation, the most effective policy is to end the Federal Reserve.'"Americans are suffering under crippling inflation, and the Federal Reserve is to blame," Massie said, according to a press release. "During COVID, the Federal Reserve created trillions of dollars out of thin air and loaned it to the Treasury Department to enable unprecedented deficit spending. By monetizing the debt, the Federal Reserve devalued the dollar and enabled free money policies that caused the high inflation we see today.""Monetizing debt is a closely coordinated effort between the White House, Federal Reserve, Treasury Department, Congress, Big Banks, and Wall Street," the congressman noted, according to the press release. "Through this process, retirees see their savings evaporate due to the actions of a central bank pursuing inflationary policies that benefit the wealthy and connected. If we really want to reduce inflation, the most effective policy is to end the Federal Reserve."According to the press release, original cosponsors on the measure include GOP Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Kat Cammack of Florida, Michael Cloud of Texas, Eli Crane of Arizona, Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Bob Good of Virginia, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Chip Roy of Texas, Keith Self of Texas, Victoria Spartz of Indiana, and Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin."The Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act was first introduced by former Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) in 1999 and hasn't been reintroduced since 2013," the press release states.Paul introduced the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act numerous times, and in 2013, then-Rep. Paul Broun, a Georgia Republican, introduced the measure. — (@) Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Republican Texas. Gov. Greg Abbott issued a full pardon for a man who was convicted of murdering a protester at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Austin. A jury found Daniel Perry guilty of murder in April 2023 after deliberating for 17 hours in the eight-day trial. Perry claimed that he shot Garrett Foster in self-defense as protesters were banging on his car. Foster, who was a former mechanic in the U.S. Air Force, was legally armed with an AK-47. Perry said that Foster had aimed the gun at him when Perry shot and killed the man. Prosecutors relied on witness statements that contradicted Perry's account and also on posts that he had made on social media that they characterized as racist. 'Corrects the courtroom travesty ... and represents true justice.' On Thursday, Abbott overturned the jury's decision.“The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles conducted an exhaustive review of U.S. Army Sergeant Daniel Perry’s personal history and the facts surrounding the July 2020 incident and recommended a Full Pardon and Restoration of Full Civil Rights of Citizenship,” wrote Abbott. “Among the voluminous files reviewed by the Board, they considered information provided by the Travis County District Attorney, the full investigative report on Daniel Perry, plus a review of all the testimony provided at trial," he added. "Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney." Perry had been sentenced to 25 years in prison. Democrat Rep. Joaquin Castro from Texas excoriated Abbott over the decision in a post on social media. "Before Daniel Perry murdered a veteran in 2020, he told a friend he 'might go to Dallas to shoot looters.' A year before, he wrote, 'to bad we can’t get paid for hunting Muslims.' @GovAbbott’s alliance with white nationalists is putting dangerous people on our streets," wrote Castro. The family of Foster's fiancée, Whitney Mitchell, also released a statement decrying Abbott's decision. "It sends a chilling message about the value of human life and the strength of political influence, eroding trust in the institutions meant to protect us," the statement read. “We stand today, heartbroken but resolute, in our call for a justice system that serves the people without bias and without undue political influence." Doug O'Connell, the attorney for Perry, said he was "thrilled and elated" to be free. "Daniel Perry was imprisoned for 372 days and lost the military career that he loved. The action by Governor Abbott and the Pardon Board corrects the courtroom travesty which occurred over a year ago and represents true justice in this case," said O'Connell. Travis County District José Garza, the prosecutor criticized by Abbott for convicting Perry, issued a fiery statement lambasting the pardon. “The Board and the Governor have put their politics over justice and made a mockery of our legal system. They should be ashamed of themselves,” Garza said in part. "They have sent a message to Garrett Foster’s family, to his partner, and to our community that his life does not matter," he continued. "To the family and friends of Garrett Foster, and to the people of Travis County, we will not stop fighting for justice.”Here's more about the pardon: Gov.
