Death of Mitch McConnell’s Sister-in-Law Angela Chao Under ‘Criminal Investigation’
The death of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law Angela Chao is now being investigated as a crime, according to reports.
Chao was the CEO of New York-based dry bulk shipping company Foremost Group and sister of former U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, McConnell’s wife.
Chao was found dead in her vehicle that was “completely submerged” in a pond on a ranch in Johnson City, near Austin, Texas, last month.
After refusing to release details surrounding her death, authorities have revealed the investigation into her death is now a criminal matter.
“Although the preliminary investigation indicated this was an unfortunate accident, the Sheriff’s Office is still investigating this accident as a criminal matter until they have sufficient evidence to rule out criminal activity,” the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Thursday letter to state Attorney General Ken Paxton.
“This incident was not a typical accident,” the agency added.
The letter did not say that there was evidence that Chao died as the result of a crime, but hinted at a potential prosecution.
Because Chao’s death is now under criminal investigation, audio and video evidence will not be released.
“Releasing the reports, videos and other information prior to the completion of the investigation would interfere with the investigation and possible prosecution of this matter,” the sheriff’s office wrote.
This comes after McConnell last Wednesday announced he would step down as Senate Minority Leader after the 2024 election.
“This has been a particularly difficult time for my family,” McConnell said on the Senate floor. “We tragically lost Elaine’s younger sister Angela, just a few weeks ago.”
“When you lose a loved one, particularly at a young age, there’s a certain introspection that accompanies the grieving process,” McConnell added.
SNL Mocks Biden Cronies Covering Up His Declining Mental & Physical Fitness — Mayorkas Responds
NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” brutally ridiculed Joe Biden’s advanced age and his administration’s obvious gaslighting over his cognitive decline during its latest cold open.
The SNL sketch began with a parody of CNN’s “Inside Politics” with Dana Bash, played by Heidi Gardner discussing Biden’s mental gaffes with Michael Longfellow playing California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).
“I understand that people care about the president’s age, but what they should care about is his record. Look at what Joe Biden has done for America. He’s created more jobs than any president in history. Inflation is down. The Shamrock Shake is back and Beyoncé has gone country. Thank you, Joe,” Longfellow’s Newsom said.
“Dana, he — Joe can do it better. I was just with him and behind closed doors, Joe is incredible. Yesterday we had a big meeting about the border and God, he had such command,” Longfellow said. “He had charts, tables, PowerPoints, he had an interactive AR display on the Apple Vision Pro – that he programmed himself. The software might be in beta but the man — he’s in alpha.”
When “Bash” poined out Biden’s nickname “Sleepy Joe”, Longfellow replied, “Well he has to sleep Dana!” before adding that “even when he’s sleeping, he’s on.”
“The other day he was taking a nap and I whipped a baseball at him and he caught it like De Niro in ‘Awakenings.’ Lightning quick,” Longfellow said.
The scene cut to Ego Nwodim playing White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, where she showed Biden’s schedule of speed chess, soul cycling, and winning a pushup contest.
“Hello Dana, pleasure to be with you to talk about the most vigorous man I’ve ever known, Joe Biden,” Nwodim said, which was met with a “Really?” from Gardner’s Bash.
“Absolutely. I was just with him and behind closed doors, he’s a whirlwind,” Nwodim said.
The sketch also included Marcello Hernández playing Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, who described “dynamo” Biden’s trip to the southern border last week.
“This weekend we both went down to the border town in Brownsville, Texas. And Joe went into beast mode,” Hernández claimed. “He said we’re going to tighten this border. Look how easy I can cross it. Then he parkoured up to the top of the border wall, pro-flipped into the Rio Grande and came back up with a fish in his mouth. But you didn’t report that because it doesn’t fit your little narrative.”
The real Alejandro Mayorkas and CNN anchor Dana Bash responded to the SNL bit Sunday, where the DHS Secretary only doubled down claiming Biden was “remarkably detail-oriented” and “probing.”
“There’s a reason they did a whole thing about Joe Biden’s age. Did you want to add a real statement about what you witnessed?” Bash asked him.

“I was just with him and behind closed doors, he‘s a dynamo. Joe went into beast mode,” an actor playing Mayorkas said. “He said, we‘re going to tighten this border. Look how easy… pic.twitter.com/76t3TC6d3s
Mayorkas replied, “I think they should spend a bit of time with Joe Biden like I have done.”
“I prepare a lot for meetings with him and engagements with him because he’s remarkably detail-oriented, probing, and operationally focused,” he added.
It’s difficult to distinguish parody from reality these days when it comes to Biden and his regime, but his cognitive decline has become so obvious that SNL, a routine defender of Democrats and their causes, couldn’t help but pile on.
Report: CCP Orders Destruction of ALL Covid Data Nationwide
The Chinese government has demanded a nationwide purge of all COVID-19 data within its healthcare system, according to reports.
A source from Changsha, Hunan, who goes by “Mr. Chen” told the Epoch Times that a connection who holds a high rank at a local hospital disclosed that information to him.
“He told me directly: the government is instructing health departments across the country to eradicate all COVID-19-related data, including information on the entire epidemic prevention process and vaccination records. They must obliterate all data without leaving a trace, and computer records must be deleted entirely,” said Mr. Chen.
Chen said the directive extends to the entire nation, including vaccine and anything the government considers embarrassing related to its epidemic prevention measures.
“No data can be spared, neither on paper nor on computers. Records of vaccine administration are to be expunged, as well as records of nucleic acid testing and any embarrassing incidents that occurred during the entire epidemic prevention process,” he said.
The CCP’s goal is to purge the COVID chapter of China’s history from the record books to prevent future generations from learning of what it considers to be a massive government failure.
From the Epoch Times:
After the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) pursued a “zero-COVID” approach, implementing extreme pandemic control measures. However, these measures resulted in frequent secondary disasters, fueling escalating public discontent and anger.
By the latter half of 2022, the “White Paper Movement“ swept across the nation, with street protests erupting in various locations. Before the CCP’s 20th National Congress, banners appeared on Beijing’s Sitong Bridge, demanding an end to the zero-COVID policy and calling for the downfall of Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
In late 2022, the CCP unexpectedly lifted lockdown restrictions which exposed the severity of the pandemic under lockdown. Immediately, both infected individuals and dead bodies flooded the hospitals across the country.
Chen says the problem continues because COVID cases and pneumonia are exploding across Communist China.
“Currently, hospitals are filled with many elderly and children, and the hospital business remains thriving. The situation is particularly tense in well-facilitated hospitals, where ordinary citizens typically cannot gain admission.”
According to Chen, many Chinese citizens believe these emerging cases are connected to the COVID vaccine.
“After vaccination, many of us felt physically unwell for about a week, experiencing considerable discomfort,” he said. “Some individuals who sought medical attention subsequently discovered nodules in their lungs. It’s a common scenario for individuals who were previously healthy before vaccination. However, most people refrain from openly discussing these issues because they lack concrete evidence to attribute them to the vaccine.”
Chen also claimed that the CCP is worried that a new wave of COVID deaths due to the vaccine could come in the future and is preparing excuses for such a time.
“The COVID-19 pandemic and its vaccine have already resulted in a considerable number of deaths among the elderly. If there is another large-scale death in ten years, the government will attribute it to other causes, rather than the COVID-19 vaccine.”
“I personally believe that the vaccines we have received are counterfeit and come with adverse effects,” he added.
China’s whitewashing and suppression of history is a feature of its communist character, evidenced by its Great Firewall that censors anything on the internet not deemed appropriate by the CCP.
The CCP has also gone to great lengths to cover up the atrocities of Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward, most recently on its 100th anniversary.
“What they’re doing is to control every Chinese person’s thinking and erase every person’s history,” pro-democracy protester Dong Zehua told the LA Times in 2021.“They want to write history themselves.”
The CCP’s lies and crimes against humanity, most recently its release of COVID-19 upon the world, must not be allowed to be purged into the dustbin of history.
UK: Right-Wing British Activist Sentenced to Two Years in Prison Over Anti-Immigration Stickers
Right-wing British activist Sam Melia was sentenced to two years in prison in the UK on Friday for “intending to stir up racial hatred” by sharing various anti-immigration stickers stating “White Lives Matter” and “We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066.”
Free speech concerns have been raised after a Leeds man was sentenced two years in prison after being found guilty of inciting racial hatred with a library of stickers.
Sam Melia, 34, was in charge of an online collection of downloadable stickers that contained anti-immigration messages for activists of the “Hundred Handers” group.
At Leeds Crown Court last month, Melia was also found guilty of encouraging racially aggravated criminal damage because his collection was involved in multiple “stickering” incidents.
During the trial, jurors were told that members of the group would access the downloadable stickers that they could download and stick around their communities.
The prosecution argued that the stickers were intended to stir up racial hatred.
The far-right organiser claimed that they were intended to “start a conversation” and that he was unaware that the stickering would count as criminal damage.
Melia was charged in December 2022 after evidence showed he established and maintained the database of around 200 stickers.
Counter Terrorism Policing North East said that many of the stickers were racist and antisemitic in nature.
They reportedly contained slogans such as “We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066”, “Mass immigration is white genocide”, “intolerance is a virtue” and “they seek conquest not asylum.”
Melia said during the trial that it never even crossed his mind that he could be imprisoned for sharing stickers.
Melia’s wife Laura Towler reacted to the verdict on Telegram:
Melia and Towler spoke about the case outside the courtroom:
The sentence triggered outrage on social media:

Seeing how unfair the British justice system is to people that advocate for their people, perhaps you should reconsider their suspensions and give them a chance to defend themselves.
The British rose up and voted for Brexit in 2016 to stop immigration and restore national sovereignty only for the “Conservatives” to give them record immigration, new hate speech laws and the jailing of British patriots for stickers.
NATO ‘Already Has Boots on the Ground in Ukraine’, Ex-CIA Officer Says
The long-taboo issue of NATO “boots on the ground” in Ukraine has been increasingly bandied about of late, despite warnings by Moscow and generally sober political minds across the globe that such a decision would be fraught with terrible consequences.
NATO already has “boots on the ground” in Ukraine, former CIA officer Larry Johnson emphasized during an recent interview on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s podcast Judging Freedom.
“There are Americans in there, there are NATO forces already on the ground in Ukraine, operating systems which are attacking Russia,” Johnson said.
Accordingly, Moscow is signaling that, “this is going to stop, or you are going to have to pay a price,” the CIA vet accentuated.
At this point, Johnson described the timing of the latest bombshell intercept featuring German war talk on Ukraine as far from accidental.
On Friday, Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT and Rossiya Segodnya, Sputnik’s parent media group, published text and audio of a conversation among four Bundeswehr representatives discussing a potential attack on the Crimean Bridge with German-made Taurus long-range cruise missiles. The conversation, which took place on February 19, involved Inspector of the German Air Force Ingo Gerhartz, Brig. Gen. Frank Graefe, head of the operations and exercises department at the air force command in Berlin, and two employees of the air operations center of the Bundeswehr Space Command.
DPA reported later that the leaked conversation between German military officers on security matters concerning Russia and Ukraine conducted on the CISCO Webex platform was authentic. On Friday, German newspaper Die Welt reported, citing German soldiers, that the recording was circulating in the Bundeswehr, and that officials considered it authentic.
“Russia is confident that it has got Ukraine on the run,” especially with the recent liberation of the stronghold of Avdeyevka, Larry Johnson stated in the podcast. At the same time, according to the CIA veteran, the leak coincides with remarks made by Russia’s President Vladimir Putin during his annual State of the Union address. Speaking on February 29, Putin accused the West of instigating the Ukraine conflagration, adding that the US-driven anti-Russia campaign had “miscalculated and ran into the firm position and determination of our multinational people.”
During that speech, the president “put the West on notice that attacks on Russia will not go unanswered, and that it runs the risk of nuclear escalation,” stressed Johnson.
While further provision of Western aid to the Kiev regime is in limbo in the US Congress, divisions on propping up the regime in Kiev are heating up the rift between France’s President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, political analysts have told Sputnik.
Macron recently proclaimed at a summit in Paris that there was “no consensus” on sending ground troops to Ukraine in an “official manner,” but added that “nothing was excluded.” Despite a swift wave of backlash, he defended his stance, claiming his words were “weighed, thought through and measured.” Olaf Scholz was quick to reject the idea, emphasizing that “there will be no soldiers on Ukrainian soil sent there” by European states or NATO members.
French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne also stepped in to rule out conducting military operations in Ukraine, telling the radio broadcaster France Inter on Friday:
“The French will not die for Ukraine. We will not send troops into combat because the framework has been set, which is to prevent Russia from winning without going to war with Russia. And nothing is excluded within this framework.”
68% of the French do not approve of Macron’s position on the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, according to Le Figaro.

The statistic was provided by a survey conducted by Odoxa-Backbone Consulting for the newspaper. 31% supported Macron. In addition, the majority of…
As for the US, President Joe Biden may consider sending US Army personnel to Ukraine if he is reelected, American billionaire David Sachs suggested on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
To begin with, Biden “opposed sending F16s, Abrams tanks, and long-range missiles to Ukraine on the grounds that it could start WWIII,” Sachs recalled, adding that, “the only taboo left is ground troops.”
Initially Biden opposed sending F16s, Abrams tanks, and long-range missiles to Ukraine on the grounds that it could start WWIII. He has now sent all of them.
— David Sacks (@DavidSacks) March 2, 2024
The only taboo left is ground troops. But Macron is already calling for them. And we now have daily revelations that NATO…
Citing “daily revelations that NATO special forces are already operating in Ukraine,” he concluded that Biden would “no doubt” send ground troops to Ukraine “should he win a second term.”
It should be noted that diehard supporters of Kiev, like Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, have gone on record as saying they are not considering sending troops. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was also cited as saying that, “there are no plans for NATO combat troops on the ground in Ukraine.”
Moscow has repeatedly warned of the danger of a direct conflict between Russia and NATO if the alliance were to send combat troops to fight in the West’s proxy war in Ukraine.
“The very fact of discussing the possibility of sending certain contingents to Ukraine from NATO countries is a very important new element,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov underscored, adding that, “in that case, we would need to talk not about the probability, but about the inevitability [of direct conflict].”
Shock Video: Gun Battle Erupts as Hundreds of ‘Youths’ Riot at Six Flags in Georgia
One person was shot when suspects opened fire on police during a riot involving hundreds of ‘youths’ at a Six Flags amusement park in Georgia over the weekend, according to reports.
The shocking string of events unfolded on Saturday evening in Austell, a city in the Atlanta metro region.
Thousands of people turned out for opening day at Six Flags Over Georgia before the event devolved into extreme mob violence.
Hundreds of mostly-younger guests began fighting and sowing chaos throughout the park, forcing evacuations as security lost control of the crowd.
Videos purportedly shot at the scene have been circulating on social media.

AUSTELL, Ga. – What was meant to be a fun first day back at Six Flags Over Georgia turned into a series of brawls within the park that ended in gunfire off-campus. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations said Cobb County officers were involved in the shooting.

After the melee spilled over to areas outside the park, suspects began shooting at police, prompting return fire which led to one person being struck and injured.
“Cobb County Police and Security were able to follow the crowd out of the park onto Six Flags Parkway near South Service Road,” authorities said.
“As officers followed the crowd out, ensuring they left the property, an unknown number of suspects fired at officers. An officer returned fire, striking one of the suspects.”
Six Flags Over Georgia is NOT safe rn. We went to get one ride in Goliath at the end of the night to be told “we have to leave the park. It’s not safe.” By security. Then when we come out not only do we see all these police, we hear gun shots that caused mass panic. Do not go rn. pic.twitter.com/zk6hgkts7s

“Our goal is to provide safe, fun entertainment. We employ state of the art security systems and metal detection, maintain a robust and vigilant Public Safety Department, and have strong support from Cobb County Police who are present both inside and outside the park,” Six Flags Over Georgia told Fox 5 Atlanta in a statement.
“It is incredibly disappointing that our community is disrupted at public events throughout the region by groups of underaged youth. Just like other venues in the area, we are committed to keeping this type of trouble outside our park and off our property. There was police activity involving gunshots; we want to confirm there was no shooting at our property or parking lot. This took place on South Service Road that is not owned or operated by Six Flags.”
An investigation is ongoing.
In 2023, opening day at Six Flags Over Georgia was also marred by fights between “several groups of young people,” according to Fox 5.
