President-elect Donald Trump’s Monday inauguration will be an “attractive potential target” for violence, US national security agencies are warning, despite saying there are currently no specific credible threats against the event.
A group of intelligence and law enforcement agencies wrote in a threat assessment that hasn’t been released to the public, which was obtained by Politico, that potential perpetrators, like those with “election-related grievances” may see the event as “their last opportunity to influence the election results through violence.”
The threat assessment was compiled by the FBI, Secret Service, Capitol Police, the Washington DC government, and the Supreme Court’s police. It laid out multitudes of scenarios that could occur, such as foreign terrorists, domestic extremists, and lone wolves initiating bomb hoaxes, drone flights, vehicle ramming attacks, and swatting calls.
The threat assessment noted that Iran, which has sought to kill Trump or his national security advisors in an act of revenge for the killing of General Qassem Solemani. The threat assessment said that in response to a video posted to Telegram the day after Election Day by a media entity aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, 700,000 users threatened to assassinate Trump.
Law enforcement is also concerned about protests around the inauguration turning disorderly, with multiple groups applying for demonstration permits, including some groups whose previous protests ended with arrests. The threat assessment stated, “Past protests by some of these individuals have involved traffic blockades, trespassing, property destruction, and resisting arrest.” […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
