Political analyst Mark Simone claimed this weekend that the Bush family is helping run Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, and that the so called ‘Architect’ of George W. Bush’s successful campaigns Karl Rove is also on board.

“The Bushes are all tangled up with [DeSantis],” Simone said during a segment on Fox News Saturday.

“Bush who can raise him a billion dollars,” Simone continued, adding that “Karl Rove will be the coach on the field, I think he’s been advising him.”

“That’s why DeSantis has been getting a little better every week. They’re all very smart,” Simone further stated, adding “You saw what they did for Jeb Bush.”

However, when it comes to taking on Trump, Simone noted that “I don’t think they’re ready for Donald Trump.”

The claim prompted Trump’s son Don Jr. to label DeSantis “a Trojan Horse for the RINO establishment.”

Meanwhile, reports suggest that Trump himself is blacklisting anyone who works for the Florida Governor in an effort to shut down DeSantis’ campaign altogether.

An unnamed source close to Trump told Real Clear Politics that “It’s a time for choosing,” adding that “if you work for Ron DeSantis’ presidential race, you will not work for the Trump campaign or in the Trump White House.”

Over the weekend at a rally in Waco, Trump blasted DeSantis, stating “When a man comes to me with tears in his eyes, he’s had almost nothing in the polls,” referencing DeSantis’ 2018 gubernatorial run, adding “He’s at almost nothing, he’s got no cash.”

Trump continued, “And I said, I can’t give you an endorsement. There’s no way you can when you’re dead. I said, let’s give it a shot, Ron. I endorsed him. He became like a rocket ship. Within one day the race was over.”

Newly leaked footage from January 6th shows undercover DC Metropolitan Police officers pushing protesters to move towards the US Capitol and helping them climb the scaffolding outside the Capitol building. 

The full video was leaked Saturday on Rumble by an anonymous account named OverwatchJ6:

From The Epoch Times, “Prosecutor Admits DC Police Officers Acted as Provocateurs at US Capitol on Jan. 6”:

A federal prosecutor admitted in court papers that three D.C. Metropolitan Police Department undercover officers acted as provocateurs at the northwest steps of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The admission came in a March 24 filing before U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras that seeks to keep video footage shot by the officers under court seal.

Prosecutors accused the case defendant—William Pope of Topeka, Kansas—of an “illegitimate” attempt to unmask the video as part of his alleged strategy to try the case in the news media. Pope filed a motion to remove the court seal on Feb. 21.

“The defendant is not entitled to ‘undesignate’ these videos to share them with unlimited third parties,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly Moran. “His desire to try his case in the media rather than in a court of law is illegitimate, and the government has met its burden to show the necessity of the protective order.”

The feds worked together with the media to smear everyone involved in this protest for two years straight and bias the already biased DC juries against them but their victims are not allowed to share this footage to defend themselves?

The fact these cases are even being tried in DC is an absolute disgrace. J6 protesters are blatantly being denied their right to a fair trial on top of being held indefinitely in pre-trial detention and tortured in prison.

Videos long hidden under court seal have become a major topic, especially with prosecutors disclosing in a number of high-profile Jan. 6 cases the involvement of multiple FBI informants.

Pope is seeking to lift the court seal on the undercover video as part of his drive to obtain full access to video evidence held by the government. Pope is representing himself in the criminal case being prosecuted against him. At a hearing on March 3, Judge Contreras seemed sympathetic to Pope’s motion to unmask the videos.

“The officer clearly incited that area, and we still don’t have video from all other undercover MPD,” Pope told The Epoch Times. “And as the numerous informants in the Proud Boys trial demonstrates, we are only just beginning to scratch the surface on FBI involvement.”

[…] “This video clearly evidences undercover law enforcement officers urging the crowds to advance up the stairs and scaffolding towards the Capitol on January 6,” Pope wrote in an earlier case filing. “The government may claim that incidents like this did not happen, but the facts show they did.”

Prosecutor Moran acknowledges such in a motion filed on March 24.

“The specific footage, GoPro video recorded by an MPD police officer who was stationed at the Capitol in an evidence-gathering capacity, captures the officer shouting words to the effect of, “Go! Go! Go!” Moran wrote.

“At other times in these videos, the officer and the two other plainclothes officers with him appear to join the crowd around them in various chants, including “drain the swamp,” “U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!”, and “Whose house? Our house!”

Moran also argued against unsealing large amounts of closed-circuit television (CCTV) security video, which she said could put officers at risk.

“There are very specific and highly worrisome risks associated with the specific videos the defendant seeks to share en masse,” she wrote.

“Given the highly volatile nature of the discourse surrounding these cases, releasing the identities of the officers depicted in these videos—officers the defendant now claims to have instigated the entire attack on the U.S. Capitol—would surely put the lives of those officers at risk.”

Pope told The Epoch Times that he never made such a claim. He has not yet filed a response to the government’s memorandum.

Another video Pope discovered in his research shows Officer 2 and Officer 3 walking behind the late Ashli Babbitt on the northwest steps. About an hour later, Babbitt was shot at the entry of the Speaker’s Lobby by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd. She died a half-hour later.

The only “risk” involved in releasing this footage and more from J6 is the police and feds being caught helping provocateur the event. 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Tucker Carlson need to get on with it already and release the 40,000 hours of footage they have to the public. 

Update: 

An explosion at a chocolate factory in Pennsylvania on Friday resulted in the tragic loss of five lives, with six individuals still unaccounted for.

On Friday evening, a devastating explosion rocked a chocolate factory in Pennsylvania, tragically leaving two people dead, nine unaccounted for, and eight others injured.

West Reading Borough Police Department Chief Wayne Holben confirmed to Fox News the blast occurred at the R.M. Palmer Co. chocolate factory in West Reading, about 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia, around 1700 ET. 

Shocking footage of the explosion emerged on social media. 

“The explosion was so big that it moved that building four feet forward,” Mayor Samantha Kaag told reporters. She said, “It wasn’t a great scene to come into. It was pretty scary.” 

Kaag said she felt the explosion at her home, four or five blocks from the factory.

“I didn’t hear a boom,” she said. “I just felt it shake my house.”

Law enforcement officials stated that the cause of the explosion is currently under investigation. This incident adds to the increasing number of food processing plants throughout the US experiencing fires or, in this instance, devastating explosions.
