THE BIG NEWS
Top ‘Antifa’ Prosecutor is a Jan. 6 Insurrectionist
Brian W. Lynch runs the Department of Justice task force that is prosecuting leftists for alleged crimes. He is also a Jan. 6 insurrectionist, which makes him a traitor to the country. This new information comes thanks to Talking Points Memo, the first to report the news. Per TPM:
On Jan. 6, 2021, a man approached the Capitol who looked like many others in the crowd that day: white, with a Trump 2020 hat on and a shirt marking his service to the country in Afghanistan.
But this one was different. Brian W. Lynch was months into a new job as a federal prosecutor in Maryland when he attended the march on the Capitol. Yet, somehow, Lynch’s presence at the Capitol that fateful day has not been publicly reported until now, more than five years later. In the meantime, Lynch remained at DOJ and, under the second Trump administration, received a big promotion: He’s now running a national task force to prosecute left-wing political violence.
A DOJ official confirmed to TPM that Lynch “was present but never entered the capitol, left the grounds after a brief period, and did not commit and was never accused of any violation of law.”
Me personally? I find that not credible, especially given that he was among those who broke into a restricted area.
The regime in March appointed Lynch to co-direct the Joint Task Force Vanguard, the DOJ’s project to prosecute cases of “left-wing political violence.” He reports to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, a fellow right-wing extremist who stonewalled even Republicans at his confirmation hearing this week. The task force is implementing National Security Memorandum 7, Trump's imperial decree ordering federal agents to “treat ‘anti-Americanism, anti-Capitalism, and anti-Christianity’ as indicators of political violence.”
Lynch was at a Minneapolis press conference in June, where regime officials announced a conspiracy indictment against the Minnesota 15 for protesting the regime’s deadly attack on the Twin Cities. The indictment called the protesters “antifa,” which, as you know, is short for “anti-fascist,” which, as you also know, is good. It’s good to be anti-fascist. The allegorically-named traitor Lynch said in a press release that his fascist task force aims “to counter groups that use violence and the threat of violence to achieve political ends.” But what he really means is that it aims to crush anyone who objects to fascism, which is, or should be, all of us.

Smoke Worsening Across Midwest and Mid-Atlantic Today
Uncontrolled fires in Canada and Minnesota are expected to bring unhealthy and dangerous air quality to more than 115 million people on Friday, conditions made worse by a so-called heat dome keeping smoke close to the ground, the Washington Post reported. Since Wednesday, “Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis and New York had some of the worst air quality of the world’s major cities, according to data from IQAir. In Detroit, the air quality index reached a value of 728 late Wednesday, far worse than the peak of 465 in New York during the apocalyptic June 2023 fires.” As of yesterday, smoke had settled over Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware, Baltimore and Washington, DC. It’s expected to drift south to Virginia and North Carolina and stay there through tonight. A second plume is expected to drift to New York and Boston. Per the Post:
Some rain on Friday in the areas where fires are burning could bring short-lived decreases to smoke concentrations, but dry weather will follow for the weekend, possibly allowing them to grow once more.
More passing rain is forecast across Ontario on Monday, but sustained wet weather is not expected across the province where around 20 large and out-of-control fires are burning.
The largest fire, about 150 miles north of Lake Superior in the remote Wabakimi Provincial Park, has exploded in size to more than 867,000 acres.
Health and environmental officials recommended avoiding strenuous outdoor activities, especially if you have heart disease and asthma or other respiratory conditions. They urge people to keep windows closed overnight and run central air conditioning with MERV-13 or higher-rated filters when possible.
ICE Agent Who Executed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero is Former Cop, Army Vet With History of Violence Towards Women
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who on Monday shot to death a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine is David Michael Brouillette, the AP and Portland Press Herald reported. He is a 37-year-old man with a history of abusing women, including his daughters and two ex-wives. One ex-wife, Ashley Brouillette, showed reporters a voicemail he sent her last winter, in which he said she was “disgusting” and that the women and girls in her “bloodline” should die: “And all of you should have your fucking throats cut,” he told her. “Yeah, you should. Am I threatening that I’m gonna do that? Nope. Nope. But do I think that you should have your fucking throats cuts? Or should have had them cut? Yep.” David Brouillette called her after he executed Durán Guerrero, admitted to the crime and asked her to lie for him “and to cover for his character.” Ashley Brouillette told him no. He also called their 18-year-old daughter, Madison, his oldest child.
Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she divorced him in 2009 after two years of marriage because once she got pregnant, he started abusing her. She told reporters that he once “threw boiling water at her while she was holding their child – an incident her mother Avis Collins also recounted.” He continued to abuse her after she left him; she also said she reported his abuse to his military superiors. David Brouillette went on to abuse a second ex-wife, who the AP did not name because she fears retaliation. David Broulette “had stalked and harassed her and physically and verbally abused his daughter, according to multiple requests for temporary protection orders. Brouillette tackled his teenage daughter and smashed spaghetti in her hair, and during another outburst, he dragged his daughter around the house as she cried, she said.” David Brouillette’s close relatives told the AP that he had serious mental health problems “since early childhood and never should have been given a badge and a gun to patrol American streets.”

PARTING WORDS
“There’s still gonna be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth.”
– Tom Homan, ‘Border Czar,’ on Fox News, blaming Democrats for agents' street executions and sounding exactly like the kind of abuser ICE is hiring. I am including this quote because it illustrates that he is an accessory to ICE murders. It is good to remember that ICE agents do not have qualified immunity. Agents can be charged with murder. Homan can be charged, too.
