Trump DOJ arrests Oklahoma man for alleged death threats against John Thune: report

An Oklahoma man has been arrested on nine felony charges for allegedly making death threats against Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD).According to Politico, while the motive of 63-year-old David Shuck has not been publicly released, the Justice Department "described the case as part of an initiative related to an order President Donald Trump signed last September, known as NSPM-7, targeting 'domestic terrorism and organized political violence'" — with an emphasis specifically on "Antifa" and other left-wing protest activity.NSPM-7 has raised alarm bells from legal observers, who have warned it could be used to target Trump's political critics.Another criticism of the operation, per the report, is that it characterizes Antifa "as an organized entity when it is a vague label applied to a wide range of dissenting groups and people."Shuck, who, according to the report, previously served 18 months in prison for a marijuana grow operation, is out of jail on $10,000 bond as of press time.Death threats against public figures have been an ongoing issue for years, and have targeted officials in both parties. In one of the most bizarre recent examples, a U.S. Senate candidate was arrested last month over threats to kill President Donald Trump.

Jan. 6 rioter hired by Pentagon is handling 'extremely sensitive' security issues: NYT

A convicted January 6 rioter hired by the Trump administration will be working in a "sensitive" Pentagon office, the New York Times reported.Elias Irizarry, who was just 19 years old when he entered the Capitol through a broken window, carrying a metal pole, will work for the Pentagon's Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict office, per the NYT. The office is responsible for defending against terrorist acts and asymmetric warfare and supporting U.S. commandos, according to the NYT."The office he was hired for works with the most elite military units and on extremely sensitive national security issues," Michael Lumpkin, a former assistant defense secretary for the office, told the NYT. "It used to be that any possible negative perception about a hire like this would prevent it from happening."Trump pardoned Irizarry last year, but it's unclear who tapped Irizarry to work in the Pentagon, the NYT noted.

Oil industry warns Trump about gas price SHOCK coming soon: Report

Oil industry executives have reportedly warned the Trump administration that energy prices are likely to spike even more as reserves hurtle closer to a danger point.Gas prices have already risen sharply as a result of the blockade by both the U.S. and Iran on the trade route through which much of the world's oil travels, the Strait of Hormuz.'I hope they are paying attention to inventories right now. You're hitting tank bottom.'According to a Politico report, four executives confirmed that officials of the U.S. energy industry informed the administration that backup oil reserves are being depleted quickly."We're at dangerously low levels already," said an industry executive who requested anonymity. "We have shared those concerns at the highest levels of government about what's coming in mid-to-late June. ... I hope they are paying attention to inventories right now. You're hitting tank bottom."However, a White House official flatly denied the Politico report."Politico's anonymous sources are wrong," the official said.The report was supported by recent public statements from ExxonMobil, Chevron, and other oil companies about depleted oil backup resources.Gas prices have risen on average by an astounding 42.9%, according to statistics from the Automobile Association of America. A gallon of gas cost just under $3 before the war started, reached as high as $4.50, and has settled recently at $4.26.Exxon's senior vice president, Neil Chapman, said at an investor conference that crude oil prices could hit $150 or $160 a barrel once reserves run out."You can debate whether that's going to hit those really low levels in two weeks or three weeks. Once you get to that point, then you'll see prices shoot up," he said.Another oil executive commented to Politico about Chapman's statement."The administration has already been told that," the executive said. "Don't think that an open strait is going to mean your July 4 gasoline bill isn't going to be higher than what it is today. It's going to be."Others expressed surprise that the oil price shock hadn't hit already.RELATED: Gavin Newsom tries to blame gas companies for high gas prices — and gets NUKED by community note The Trump administration points to policy changes it has made to alleviate oil prices, including a waiver to the Jones Act."President Trump and his energy team anticipated short-term market disruptions, communicated them openly to the American people, and implemented an aggressive plan to mitigate any impacts," reads a statement from Taylor Rogers, a White House spokesperson. "President Trump will never allow Iran to possess a nuclear weapon, and he will continue to advance America's core national security interests."Like Blaze News?

'Not even a chance' Trump’s 2 major priorities will get my vote: scorned GOP lawmaker

Thursday brings a consequential day for the Republican agenda, as lawmakers on Capitol Hill gather for a marathon voting session that could bring GOP priorities into conflict with those of President Donald Trump. Judging by a pre-vote statement from one senator scorned by Trump, the president faces an uphill battle. One of the most discussed votes involves the long-hindered effort to pass an immigration and border control budget reconciliation bill, which has been a thorn in the side of Republicans for several months. While it finally appeared likely to pass in the run-up to the Memorial Day recess, the sudden announcement that Trump would create a “slush fund” to pay convicted J6 criminals stalled the bill, with outraged Republicans saying they would not advance it unless the fund was killed. While the fund has since hit a number of major setbacks, it has not technically been ended once and for all. Now, many lawmakers are pushing for an amendment to the reconciliation that would pass it only on the condition that the slush fund is fully banned. When asked by CNN correspondent Manu Raju about the matter, Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) shared his thoughts in no uncertain terms. “Even the AG has said that [the fund] is done, so I don’t know why we don’t just codify it so that we don’t have the Democrats raising the speculation that it could come back at some point,” said Tillis, referring to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s recent assertion that the fund was ended, a claim that Trump quickly contradicted. On Wednesday, it was also announced that the president would seek Blanche’s confirmation to the position permanently, an appointment that has drawn skepticism from across the political spectrum over concerns that the role will be weaponized by Blanche, who is Trump’s former personal attorney. “The key to Todd or anybody getting through the judiciary committee would be being pretty tight on January the 6th. They better not have said for one minute that the people who beat up police officers were righteous people. You come even close to saying that you don’t even have a [chance] of getting my vote,” said Tillis. The Senator has frequently bumped heads with Trump, recently declaring that the president’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence doesn’t have a “prayer” of getting confirmed. Tillis has also called for his fellow Republicans to speak out against the White House, prompting Trump to call him a “nitpicker.” When it was pointed out that Trump and Blanche had made opposing statements about the fund, Tillis wasn’t having it. “The right hand and the left hand need to figure out what the h—— they’re doing,” he declared. “If it’s dead then we should be able to codify that and be done with it.”
