Facebook LGBT Activist Caught in Alleged Child Sex Sting Operation

Admits he had explicit text message conversations with minor.

A high-level Facebook staffer and LGBT activist has been caught in an alleged child sex sting operation during which he admits on video he shared explicit text messages with someone he thought was a 13-year-old boy.

Journalist Andy Ngo highlighted the clip, during which Facebook/Meta’s Manager of Community Development, Jeren A. Miles, is grilled on a live stream by a group called Predator Catchers Indianapolis.

Miles also serves on the board of directors for LGBTQ+ group, Equality California.

Miles allegedly told the underage boy in text messages, “I won’t have any restraint around you if I’m horny.”

“I was flirting (with him) Miles admits on camera, before claiming her never had any intention to meet the boy, despite arranging two separate meetings with specific details of hotels and hotel rooms.

The group caught him at the Le Meridien Columbus hotel, where he had allegedly planned to meet the child.

Miles then explains his “rational” that he thought it was OK to flirt with a 13-year-old boy online so long as he never intended to meet him.

The alleged nonce then bragged about his senior position within Facebook, presumably to impress the boy, while also admitting he told the minor he wanted to “make out with you, touch you, suck you.”

Miles asserts the engagement with the boy was the first time he’d done anything like it, a dubious claim given the language he used when talking to the boy.

“Eric Schmutte, the man recording the live stream and one-half of “Predator Catchers Indianapolis,” tells me he is sending all the chat logs and evidence to...

‘A Political Prisoner of the Democratic Party’

There is one standard of justice for rioters and cops on the side of the Biden Regime, and another for everyone else.

Three months after Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed veteran and Trump supporter, was killed by a Capitol police officer on January 6, 2021, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division closed its investigation into the fatal shooting.

Omitting the name of Lieutenant Michael Byrd—the media, law enforcement officials, and congressional leaders concealed his identity for months—the Justice Department concluded Byrd did not violate 18 U.S.C., section 242, a federal criminal civil rights statute, when he shot Babbitt at point-blank range without warning, barely missing her face, around 2:45 p.m. that day. “The investigation revealed no evidence to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer willfully committed a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242,” the Justice Department said in an April 2021 statement.

Reports later revealed that Byrd had refused to participate in any substantive probe of his conduct on January 6. Not only did Byrd escape criminal charges or any internal reprimand, he is still employed as head of security for the House of Representatives and heralded as a hero in many quarters, including the national news media.

Byrd was cleared not because he was innocent but because he shot and killed a Trump supporter, someone considered a subhuman terrorist by the Biden regime.

At the same time the civil rights division exonerated Byrd of any wrongdoing, the office was investigating a Louisville police officer for allegedly violating the civil rights of a Black Lives Matter protester during riots in that city following the police-involved deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. Louisville, Taylor’s hometown, was rocked by nights of violent protests resulting in millions of dollars in damages. Seven people were shot on the evening of May 28, 2020; rioters vandalized government buildings and looted stores downtown while attacking officers attempting to restore order.

One of those officers was Cory Evans, a member of the Louisville Police Department. A former Army special forces operative with a tour in Afghanistan, Evans was part of the department’s special response team to deal with large crowds or political protests, which included the BLM riots over Memorial Day weekend 2020.

In June 2021, the same civil rights division of the U.S Department of Justice that cleared Officer Michael Byrd for killing Ashli Babbitt charged Evans with one count of violating the civil rights of a violent BLM activist.

Following two nights of looting and destruction, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer imposed a dusk-to-dawn citywide curfew to curb the violence. (In December 2020, Fischer declared racism a “public health crisis.”) Here is how federal prosecutors described the scene in Louisville as BLM rioters attempted to tear down the city: “Officers were at times struck with objects thrown by civilians. Civilians engaged in vandalism and other acts of property damage, including attempting to set fire to the state courthouse.”

Of course, the siege of the city was far worse than the Justice Department described it. Rioters refused to retreat, so Evans and his team were dispatched to downtown Louisville to enforce the curfew.

Late in the evening of May 30, the fourth night of unrest, Evans and his team followed a group of protesters violating curfew. A man only identified as “M.C.” in federal charging documents was part of the mob. Police ordered the rioters to “get down on the ground,” at which point M.C. allegedly submitted to the commands. He was arrested for rioting in the first degree, unlawful assembly, and breaking curfew.

In the course of M.C.’s arrest, prosecutors claim Evans struck the rioter on the back of the skull with a riot stick, causing him to bleed from the head. The blow, according to the government, required three staples in M.C.’s head and led to hearing loss for a week and other related health problems.

M.C., who is white, filed a complaint with the department one week after his arrest. An internal investigation to prove Evans actually hit M.C. was inconclusive based on body camera footage (Evans’ camera was not operating that night) and largely revolved around hearsay.

But Joe Biden’s newly configured Justice Department—which included the appointment of Kristen Clarke, who has a history of racist comments, as head of the civil right division—took over the investigation and subsequently charged Evans with “depriving M.C. of his Constitutional right to be free from unreasonable force by a law enforcement officer.”

In an interview earlier this week, Evans told me that the account offered by the government is inaccurate.

“Several FBI investigators went through all the body cam footage for about 70 riot officers trying to find evidence against me,” he said. “They found a split second [of video] where I tackled the guy. No one said I hit him, no footage showed he was hit.”

Evans’ defense lawyers told him that the powers-that-be in Washington directed the assistant U.S. attorney in the western district of Kentucky “to make this happen.” Investigators threatened to scour...

State Lawmakers Are Waking Up To BlackRock’s Dangers To Americans, And Taking Action

Other Republicans leading major oil-producing states such as state treasurers in Ohio and Oklahoma, have remained apathetic.

West Virginia Republican Treasurer Riley Moore axed his state’s relationship with BlackRock last month over the $10 trillion investment firm’s dual loyalty to Chinese interests and woke capitalism.

“As the state’s chief financial officer and chairman of the Board of Treasury Investments, I have a duty to ensure that taxpayer dollars are managed in a responsible, financially sound fashion which reflects the best interests of our state and country, and I believe doing business with BlackRock runs contrary to that duty,” Moore said in a press release at the time.

Now the colossal Wall Street firm is void of oversight for the state’s investment fund, a liquid account worth approximately $1.5 billion. While it might not be much money to BlackRock, Moore tells The Federalist, it’s “a hell of a lot for the people of West Virginia,” and far too much to park with an investment firm infected by corporate wokeism working to defraud the state’s more than 1.7 million residents.

Despite holding $85 billion in coal assets as of January last year, BlackRock has emphasized its commitment to reaching net-zero carbon emissions, a near-term pledge incompatible with a flourishing energy industry reliant on instantaneous power provided by fossil fuels. The commitment while fostering Chinese investment has prompted well-founded skepticism about whether BlackRock has the best interests of its clients at stake.

Last week, the educational nonprofit Consumers’ Research unveiled a multi-million-dollar campaign to expose BlackRock’s close ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The watchdog published a new website on BlackRock’s CEO, WhoIsLarryFink.com, and debuted new ads for TV and radio complemented by mobile billboards in New York City, where the firm is headquartered.

“Larry Fink and BlackRock are really delivering a one-two punch to the American economy,” Consumers’ Research Executive Director Will Hild told The Federalist. “One the right hand they’re using the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) scam to hamper American companies and make it harder to serve American consumers, on the left hand they’re funneling billions of dollars to the Chinese communist owned business to help them build the Chinese...

Durham Probe of Plot Against Trump Grows Damning: 'Someone in Gov Gave Them Permission,' DC Insider Says

Speculation has emerged that the former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign’s tentacles reached into the Trump White House as part of the conspiracy to smear the 45th president.

On Friday, special prosecutor John Durham rattled the political world with a court filing that alleged lawyers for the Clinton campaign hired a technology company to infiltrate computer servers and lay a false trail that would implicate the Trump campaign of having contacts with Russia, according to Fox News.

Durham, hired to investigate the early stages of the Trump-Russia hoax and root out misconduct, has secured the indictment of Michael Sussman, a lawyer who represented the Clinton campaign, who has been accused of lying to the FBI. In November, Democratic operative Igor Danchenko, a contributor to a since-discredited dossier of claims concerning Trump, was charged with five counts of making false statements to the FBI.

On Monday, Kash Patel, a former chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense in the waning days of the Trump administration and one of the investigators who exposed the Steele dossier of claims against Trump as a fraud, offered his take on the Durham filing.

In an interview with Newsmax host Greg Kelly, Patel called the actions of those involved in the Russia hoax, “the biggest criminal conspiracy against a sitting president in the United States history.”

Members of Team Clinton “were paid millions and millions of dollars to go out and buy false information from a tech executive,” he said.

“And here’s the worst part. They secured a, quote, ‘sensitive arrangement’ with someone in government to gain access to White House servers. That means someone in government gave them permission and paid the contracting tech executive company’s firm to allow that work to happen,” he said.

Although Durham’s focus ends in early 2017, when the Trump administration was just sliding into its desks, Patel’s speculation aligns with extensive leaks from...

CDC's Unchanged Mask Policy Blasted as a 'Total Clown Show'

Despite a number of countries around the world and U.S. states dropping Wuhan coronavirus restrictions, including vaccination and masking requirements, Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky said Wednesday the agency is not changing current mask guidelines at this time.

"Many of these state-based policies have come out in phased approaches that they are talking about, you know, something that might happen in a week or two. Masks that might come off in a week or two at the end of February, early March. And so of course, our metrics are going to examine," Walensky said during a briefing with reporters. "As I previously said, issues related to cases, certainly issues related to severity of disease and hospital capacity. And we anticipate that many of these will intersect in terms of timing."

Walensky's remarks are being blasted as unscientific, especially for children.

The Biden administration plans to make yearly COVID shots mandatory for all Americans, including young children, a Food and Drug Administration executive told a Project Veritas undercover journalist on hidden camera.

In the sting video released on Tuesday, Christopher Cole, Executive Officer of Countermeasures Initiative for the FDA, said: “Biden wants to inoculate as many people as possible.” According to Project Veritas president James O’Keefe, Cole has “over 20 years experience” at the FDA, and “claims to be directly involved in the approval process.”

“You’ll have to get an annual shot,” he told the undercover journalist during a dinner date earlier this month. “I mean, it hasn’t been formally announced yet because they don’t want to, like, rile everyone up.”

Cole noted that some of the plan has been talked about publicly, but not “on CNN or Fox or MSNBC or anything,” adding that it would be a “gradual” process.

“But yeah, it’ll be you’ll have to get an annual. I think what’s gonna happen is it’s gonna be a gradual thing, schools are gonna mandate it,” he said.

Cole explained that the yearly boosters are necessary because the efficacy of the vaccines wear off over time. “It means your ability to fight wanes, so the three will bolster your system. And then there’ll be an annual eventually, just like the flu shot.” He stressed that this will be mandated “for everyone.”

Cole also brazenly discussed the corrupt relationship between the FDA, and vested interests like the pharmaceutical companies, who pay the government “millions of dollars a year” to make sure their products get approved.

“The drug companies, the food companies, the vaccine companies, they pay us hundreds of millions of dollars a year to hire and keep the reviewers to approve their products. If they [Big Pharma] can get every person required [to get] an annual vaccine that is a recurring return of money going into their company,” Cole explained.

The FDA exec appeared to admit that mandating the risky COVID vaccines for toddlers is a flawed proposition.

“I don’t completely agree with their process,” Cole told the undercover Project Veritas reporter. “They’re looking at trying to inoculate kids under five years old. Between six months and five years old.”

When asked what his concern is, Cole replied, “well, I mean, they they don’t have all the—all the tests aren’t there. So I agree with the thing that isn’t important to inoculate them but you can’t give the parents as much assurity as you’d normally want to.”

O’Keefe pointed out that “the FDA was scheduled to meet this week to discuss approval the Pfizer vaccine for children as young as six months old. They were hoping to have the new vaccine available by the end of the month. But the meeting was unexpectedly cancelled, citing the need for more testing.”

Cole explained that an Emergency Use Authorization allows the FDA to overlook the concerns of mandating potentially dangerous vaccines on children.

When asked if the FDA would approve the emergency use authorization of the experimental vaccines for toddlers, Cole replied:
