X user John Strand posted what appear to be still-frame photographs taken from body camera footage during a raid on the home of a January 6 prisoner showing an FBI agent storming an infant’s bedroom.

Shocking images that appear to show FBI agents storming an infant’s bedroom with their guns drawn went viral on social media today.  

X user John Strand posted what looks to be still-frame photographs taken from body camera footage of an FBI agent during a raid on the home of January 6 prisoner on an unspecified date at least two years ago. 

“Shocking photos of a violent FBI raid executed against a peaceful J6er, terrorizing his young children,” Strand said. “The insane part? He had already surrendered to agents—but they assaulted his family at home anyway! THIS is the evil being purged from the FBI—and Democrats defend it?” 

 

According to the Washington Times, Strand was sentenced to two years and eight moths in prison after being found guilty of a felony and four misdemeanors related to his actions in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021. He was released last July after serving a year behind bars in a Louisiana prison. A former model and actor, he is currently the creative director at America’s Frontline Doctors. 

Strand has been posting shocking images to his X account for over a year detailing the FBI’s raid on Bobby DeGregoris’ home. DeGregoris was also found guilty of felony and misdemeanor chargers for January 6 activities, per the U.S. District Attorney’s Office website.  

In a post published in December 2024, Strand shared a video of the raid while stating, “these fascist government stormtroopers drag his wife and kids into subzero conditions, terrorizing them with assault rifles.” 

 

DeGregoris, who apparently is now free, responded to an X user who reshared Strand’s post. 

 

On the day he was sworn in, Donald Trump pardoned nearly all of the more than 1,500 January 6 defendants. The document signed by Trump proclaimed that “a grave national injustice … has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years.” 

The order further demanded that individuals who were being held in prison be “released immediately” and that all pending indictments against potential January 6 defendants be dismissed.

Poll: Majority says energy independence more important than fighting climate change

Published on

From The Center Square

By 

A majority of Americans say it is more important for the U.S. to establish energy independence than to fight climate change, according to new polling.

The poll from Napolitan News Service of 1,000 registered voters shows that 57% of voters say making America energy independent is more important than fighting climate change, while 39% feel the opposite and 4% are unsure.

Those surveyed also were asked:  Which is more important, reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change, or keeping the price of cars low enough for families to afford them?

Half of voters (50%) said keeping the price of cars low was more important to them than reducing emissions, while 43% said emissions reductions were more important than the price of buying a car.

When asked, “Which is more important, reducing greenhouse gas emissions or reducing the cost and improving the reliability of electricity and gas for American families?”, 59% said reducing the cost and increasing the reliability was more important compared to 35% who said reducing emissions was more important.

The survey was conducted online by pollster Scott Rasmussen on March 18-19. Field work was conducted by RMG Research. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points

Trump Reportedly Shuts Off Flow Of Taxpayer Dollars Into World Trade Organization

Published on

 

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

By Thomas English

The Trump administration has reportedly suspended financial contributions to the World Trade Organization (WTO) as of Thursday.

The decision comes as part of a broader shift by President Donald Trump to distance the U.S. from international institutions perceived to undermine American sovereignty or misallocate taxpayer dollars. U.S. funding for both 2024 and 2025 has been halted, amounting to roughly 11% of the WTO’s annual operating budget, with the organization’s total 2024 budget amounting to roughly $232 million, according to Reuters.

“Why is it that China, for decades, and with a population much bigger than ours, is paying a tiny fraction of [dollars] to The World Health Organization, The United Nations and, worst of all, The World Trade Organization, where they are considered a so-called ‘developing country’ and are therefore given massive advantages over The United States, and everyone else?” Trump wrote in May 2020.

The president has long criticized the WTO for what he sees as judicial overreach and systemic bias against the U.S. in trade disputes. Trump previously paralyzed the organization’s top appeals body in 2019 by blocking judicial appointments, rendering the WTO’s core dispute resolution mechanism largely inoperative.

But a major sticking point continues to be China’s continued classification as a “developing country” at the WTO — a designation that entitles Beijing to a host of special trade and financial privileges. Despite being the world’s second-largest economy, China receives extended compliance timelines, reduced dues and billions in World Bank loans usually reserved for poorer nations.

The Wilson Center, an international affairs-oriented think tank, previously slammed the status as an outdated loophole benefitting an economic superpower at the expense of developed democracies. The Trump administration echoed this criticism behind closed doors during WTO budget meetings in early March, according to Reuters.

The U.S. is reportedly not withdrawing from the WTO outright, but the funding freeze is likely to trigger diplomatic and economic groaning. WTO rules allow for punitive measures against non-paying member states, though the body’s weakened legal apparatus may limit enforcement capacity.

Trump has already withdrawn from the World Health Organization, slashed funds to the United Nations and signaled a potential exit from other global bodies he deems “unfair” to U.S. interests.
