There is usually a brief period of time in a typical New Jersey spring or fall when the weather is not quite cold enough for heated gear but not quite warm enough to ditch the insulated gear. It was mainly under such conditions – call it 40-65 degrees – that I tested Scorpion’s EXO Tempest II motorcycle gloves, which promise foul-weather performance at a relatively low price point for the features offered.  Construction of the exterior shell is a mix of nylon (80%), polyurethane (6%), and polyester (3%). The balance of 11% is full-grain goat leather on the sealed palm side. A Hypora breathable waterproof lining protects against the elements, and a 100-gram layer of Thinsulate insulation keeps things toasty on the inside. (Notably, the palm area isn’t insulated so that the warmth from heated grips can penetrate the glove interior.) There are pronounced silicone grip pads on the palm and all fingers except the index and thumb. The index and thumb maintain capacitive touch for touchscreen operation. Finally, there’s an integrated squeegee on the index finger of both left and right gloves. The exterior shell covers a secondary nylon sublayer, which has an elastic gauntlet to help further seal the interior.   On the protection side, these gloves feature a floating TPU knuckle armor fortification, along with TPR and impact foam on all fingers and the base of the palm. A subtle 3M reflective strip on the wrist aids in nighttime conspicuity. A large hook-and-loop flap on the gauntlet seals things up, with an additional smaller cinch strap on the wrist for good measure.   Out on the road, the Tempest II gloves are an ideal companion on your ride in the aforementioned temperature range. Below 40 degrees, even with heated grips, I was reaching for my heated gloves instead. Likewise, they’re too insulated for prolonged rides much above 65 degrees. I found that the oversized wrist strap held things firmly in place, adding to a sense of safety. The pre-curved fingers and generous stretch panels equal minimal break-in time. The tactile feel is quite good for winter gear, with no bunching material as the hands travel through their range of motion – although the nylon “inner gauntlet” can be finicky when first donning the gloves, especially if your hands are wet. I experimented with iPhone capacitive touchscreen operation and found periodic success, so long as the finger pad touching the screen was through leather and not on a seam. I am normally comfortable in a size 9.5/Large, but the XL variant fit me better than the L, so try before you buy.   Read all of Rider’s apparel reviews here Scorpion’s Tempest II motorcycle gloves offer a compelling value in the non-heated insulated glove segment, offering functionality, safety, and much cherished warmth! The Tempest II gloves tested here have an MSRP of $109.95 and are available in sizes S-3XL.   Shop for Scorpion EXO Tempest II Motorcycle Gloves The post Scorpion EXO Tempest II Motorcycle Gloves Review  appeared first on Rider Magazine.

After selling my 2009 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic to purchase a 2015 BMW R 1200 GS back in 2016, one thing became clear on every two-up ride: My wife really missed the comfort and security of the Harley’s TourPak backrest. Over the past 10 years, she’s reminded me of it more times than I can count.  I’m not a fan of the bulky look of a top case on the GS, so I started digging through online forums and eventually found a promising solution: the XP Backrest from Dynamic Motorcycle Accessories.  I gave the company a call and ended up speaking directly with Kerry, the founder. He’s a friendly guy who created this backrest specifically for riders like me – those who want passenger comfort without compromising the look of their bikes. It turns out this is a common concern among GS owners, and Kerry’s product has been gaining popularity fast.  About a week later, the backrest arrived. The box included everything I needed: all hardware, clear instructions, and even the tools. Installation was simple and took me just 15 minutes. (Though I’ll admit, I initially mounted the plates upside down. That was on me.) While the XP Backrest isn’t a quick-release system like the one on my first bike (2003 H-D Road King Classic), it’s still easy to remove or reinstall using just four bolts.  These mounting plates are required for installation of the XP Backrest. The backrest is constructed of CNC-machined aluminum with a black powdercoating, and the cushion is a 1-inch-thick pad. It measures 9.5 inches tall by 11 inches wide. The backrest itself has an MSRP of $172.99. The Backrest Mounting Plates, which are required for installation unless using one the Dynamic’s luggage racks instead, are priced at $47.99. That’s a total of $220.98 for both pieces.  What did my wife think? Not even a quarter-mile from our driveway, she said, “Thank you for getting this backrest.” Hours later, after a long ride along the Connecticut shoreline to the Guilford Lobster Pound for lobster rolls, she praised how supportive and comfortable it felt. That alone made the investment worth it.  See all of Rider‘s Parts & Accessories Reviews here For riders like me who prefer the clean look of a GS without a top case, or those simply looking to add real back support for their passenger, my wife and I cannot recommend the XP Backrest enough.    Shop for Dynamic Motorcycle Accessories XP Backrest The post Dynamic Motorcycle Accessories XP Backrest Review  appeared first on Rider Magazine.

Doubletake Adventure rearview mirrors You don’t see rearview mirrors on dirtbikes very often, for good reasons. Extending a piece of glass on a rigid arm from the handlebar of a dirtbike is just asking for it to get broken or snapped off in spectacular fashion. When that happens, it can leave behind a pointy and inflexible metal arm for the rider to land on. Ouch. Fortunately, the dirt riding environment doesn’t require rearview mirrors.  Doubletake mirrors are also available in a Dual-Sport option. On the other hand, dual-sport and adventure bikes need mirrors to be ridden legally on the street yet carry the same risks when ridden off-road. You can always remove and replace the mirrors with a wrench before tackling any rough terrain, but that’s a pain even if you can remember if one is reverse threaded and which one.  A more convenient solution is a pair of Doubletake mirrors. These innovative replacements feature rugged materials and a top-and-bottom, dual-pivot design that allows them to easily be positioned for the best view and stay put while riding road or trail. When the going gets rough, they can be pivoted down without tools behind the headlight or windscreen. And as long as you don’t overtighten them, if the extended mirrors take a hit, they will most likely fold or pivot unscathed.  At the core of the design is the adjustable arm, which clamps onto balls at each end, one affixed to the mirror and another mounted on the handlebar. Doubletake formerly used Ram Mount arms and balls but recently introduced its own improved designs. Tension on the clamping arm is controlled with a large thumbscrew near the middle, so all three types of Doubletake mirrors (Adventure, Dual-Sport, and Enduro) can be easily positioned for the best view, pivoted, or removed…entirely by hand.   Doubletake mirror housings are made with super tough, glass-reinforced Zytel, and the convex mirror lenses are bright and clear and meet SAE and CE specs. Arms are made of lightweight diecast aluminum with an oversized thumbscrew, and the base mount ball has a full aluminum core that resists crushing over time, coated with nitrile for grip and durability. Mirror balls are 1-inch diameter, so that end of the arm will also clamp and support things like phone mounts, GPS, or cameras with standard 1-inch ball mounts (and Doubletake sells base kits and arms without mirrors). Base kit balls are 1-1/8-inch for more rigidity, so the thumb screw on the arm is off-center (closer to the mirror) to compensate. Each single mirror base kit comes with five bolts (coarse, fine, long, short, and reverse thread) and an extension to fit most threaded mirror mounts, and Doubletake has matched many of its kits to specific bikes.  Doubletake sent us pairs of all three mirror types, plus a couple of its small Trail mirrors that can be zip-tied to dirtbike handlebars. The Adventure Kit mirror has a teardrop shape for the widest field of view, and its slightly larger size and shape provide a better rearward view than the stock mirrors on my Honda Africa Twin, especially since they can be positioned higher or farther out to the sides if desired (the better to get around big shoulders and luggage). Ours came with 6-inch arms that were a bit longer than stock, but shorter, more compact arms are available as well. Tightened with just enough tension to keep them from moving on their own, the mirrors can still be adjusted without loosening the thumbscrew, and they don’t seem to vibrate any more than the stockers. I also tried the smaller round Dual-Sport mirrors on my Yamaha WR250R, and they work brilliantly.  Adventure mirror Dual-Sport mirror Installation was fairly easy. On my 2018 Africa Twin, the base kit balls mounted into the stock female mirror mounts – a good thing since I couldn’t get them off (someone went crazy with red thread locker I guess). Rather than use the internal tooth lock washer that Doubletake provides (the outside diameter of which was a bit too large for my taste), I used blue thread locker gel to secure the base kit bolts. Otherwise, everything fit well and easily. Same story on the WR250R. Extensions and longer bolts are provided in case you need to clear something like a clamp or brake master cylinder.  See all of Rider‘s Parts & Accessories Reviews here Adventure, Dual-Sport, and Enduro mirror kits start at $63.50 per side. Be sure to see if a specific kit is offered for your bike when you order. The new arms and base kit balls are available separately to upgrade your older Doubletake mirrors, and the company offers many other parts and accessories, like handlebar adapters and clamps, replacement mirror glass, and yes, even replacement mirrors. The website has loads of installation, fitment, and sizing help and information, and everything is backed by a lifetime warranty.   Shop for Doubletake Mirrors The post Doubletake Mirrors Review  appeared first on Rider Magazine.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to put a “black box” warning on COVID-19 jabs, CNN reports. The outlet cited two unnamed people “familiar with the agency’s plans.” Black boxes are the agency’s most serious warning and typically accompany products that carry a risk of life-threatening or disabling reactions. The FDA is finalizing plans to put a "black box" warning on Covid-19 vaccines, sources tell CNN, its most serious alert meant to warn about drug risks.https://t.co/toYYb357fN — CNN (@CNN) December 12, 2025 CNN has more: The plan to install the warnings for Covid-19 vaccines is being orchestrated by Dr. Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s chief medical and scientific officer and director of the agency’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, according to one person, who declined to be named because they weren’t authorized to share the information publicly. The plan has not been finalized and may still change. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the plans for the warnings, expected to be unveiled by the end of the year, would be applied only to mRNA vaccines or to all Covid-19 vaccines, or whether they would apply to all age groups. Three vaccines are approved by the FDA for use in the US, and two of them — from Pfizer and Moderna – use mRNA technology, which has been a key focus of the administration. “Unless the FDA announces it, any claim about what it will do is pure speculation,” HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said in a statement to CNBC. Megyn Kelly discussed the reports of the FDA potentially adding the black box warning to the COVID-19 jabs with “All-In” podcast co-host Chamath Palihapitiya. Kelly called it an “outrage.” “This was forced on us. Every school, including my own, they were expelling boys who would not take the vaccine once they hit 16. This is downright dangerous,” she continued. Footage below: Megyn Kelly on Reports of FDA Potentially Adding a Black Box Warning to COVID Vaccines “This is an outrage. This was forced on us. Every school, including my own, were expelling boys who would not take the vaccine once they hit 16. This is downright dangerous.” pic.twitter.com/YZyGTx8ebi — Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) December 4, 2025 CNBC shared further: It’s also unclear if this warning will only apply to certain age groups and what issue the label will point to. Prasad, in an internal FDA memo last month, tried to link 10 deaths in children to Covid vaccines, without providing any evidence. He also highlighted myocarditis, an extremely rare side effect after administration of mRNA shots from Pfizer and Moderna. Cases of that side effect were detected with early use of the jabs, when first and second doses were recommended to be taken as closely as three weeks apart. The side effect was also predominantly seen in boys and men. Watch the full interview below:

Bo Polny was back on my show this week and I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this…. Bo stunned even me recently when he revealed in his private Newsletter that he was selling all his crypto and planning to buy back in later in the future. I was nervous for him and I don’t know why I doubted him, but I was nervous he was going to miss this one. Spoiler alert: he didn’t miss it. Out of nowhere, with no real news of any kind, the crypto market suddenly started tanking right when Bo’s time cycles said it would, then Bo bought back in near the bottom. And it was all documented along the way in Bo’s private Newsletter. So I had to have him back on my show to give him HUGE CREDIT for that amazing call. We also talked about a coming Crypto spike that is going to be bigger than anything we’ve seen so far. And of course we talked about Silver blasting through $60 — something so many people told me for years would NEVER HAPPEN! Well, it did. Actually, they told it me it would never get over $30, but it blew past $30 and then doubled up to $60. Currently as I write this, it’s over $62 and looks poised for a quick run up to $68. And Bo has been telling us about Gold, Silver and Crypto for over five years now.  A big congratulations to everyone who has listened to our shows and taken action.

And one can get you gold for no money out of pocket! How do you like that? BOOM! First, you may recognize Andy Schectman from Miles Franklin. He’s prolific on YouTube and just a brilliant guy, I’ve followed him for years. I’ve partnered up with Andy’s company, Miles Franklin, and I’m really excited to show you what they can do! In fact, Andy’s going to be coming on my show, the Daily Truth Report (follow us on YouTube and Rumble) in the future, and you’re going to want to make sure you don’t miss those. Andy is a wealth of knowledge about the precious metals markets and crypto, and I’ve covered him here many times in the past. Now I’ll get to chat with him myself, and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m spoken directly with Andy and his team and they have assured me they will take very good care of anyone in the WLT Report family (that’s you!). At Miles Franklin, everyone gets personal attention from their team of brokers and you’ll get whatever level of hand-holding you prefer.  They’ll also customize a deal just for you, but you have to call them and tell them NOAH sent you!  They’ll handle it from there.  1-952-929-7006 There is no minimum order size and no maximum limit. I think you’ll love working with them, I already do! You can reach them at 1-952-929-7006 and make sure you let them know that Noah sent you over, they’ve promised me the best of the best service and pricing for everyone in the WLT Report family.  Second option is a company I’ve talked about many times before, it’s Genesis Gold. I’ve worked with Genesis Gold for three years now, and they are excellent at what they do. Genesis Gold is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). You know what the beauty of that is? Two huge benefits actually… One is that it’s TAX FREE baby! I’m not a tax advisor, but that’s a general oversimplification. Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay. And that’s why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!). The other is if you simply shift money out of stocks (like Peter Schiff recommends) and into Gold, it won’t cost you anything!  No money out of pocket!   BOOM! There’s so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina! They call it “Faith-Driven Stewardship” and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel: Wealth Preservation With Gold & Silver – The Genesis Gold IRA By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4 Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability, and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess. Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization, and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency, man-made paper, and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust, sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war, greed, and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline, nurture self-constraint, self-reliance, and balance, and lead to confidence, a restrained government, and a more stable foreign policy. Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold & Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times. With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry, let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA. Sincerely, Genesis Gold Group Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship Oh….and they’re VERY good at what they do. You also get physical gold and silver with Genesis, believe it or not!  The gold and silver is purchased for you (in whatever combination of coins and bars you prefer, a picture taken and sent to you, and then stored safely in a vault for you! I love what these guys are doing. Here’s more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful: You can contact Genesis Gold here. They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance! Tell ’em Noah sent ya! Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself? It’s true. Superman himself, Clark Kent — Dean Cain — came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe!

It used to be that children were off-limits in politics. As much as we all hated Bill and Hillary Clinton, we didn’t comment on how ugly Chelsea was because she was a child and it was just off-limits. Attack and criticize Bill and Hill, but leave the children out of it. Apparently, Gavin Newsom never got that memo or just doesn’t care, because he just posted this hateful and vile comment about Elon Musk and his SON Xavier: “We’re sorry your daughter hates you, Elon.” I assume you’re referring to my son, Xavier, who has a tragic mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus you push on vulnerable children. I love Xavier very much and hope he recovers. My daughters are Azure, Exa (she goes by Y) and Arcadia, and they do indeed love me… — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 12, 2025 Backup screenshot here if needed: What an absolutely vile thing to post. As you can see above, Elon responded with class and dignity and he set the record straight. Xavier is his SON, not daughter. Xavier has been infected by the Woke Mind Virus, spewed by people exactly like and including Gavin Newsom. It’s pretty easy at this point to see why they call him Gavin NEWSCUM. What a disgusting human being. RELATED REPORT: BREAKING: FBI Arrests Gavin Newsom’s Former Chief of Staff! Are the walls closing in on Gavin Newsom? It sure looks like it. Today the FBI arrested his former Chief of Staff: JUST IN: ??

The 23-count indictment was unsealed following Williamson’s arrest this morning. “This is a crucial step in an ongoing political corruption investigation that began more thanthree years ago,” said U.S. Attorney Grant. “As it always has, the U.S. Attorney’s Officewill continue to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to protect the people ofCalifornia from political corruption.” “Today’s charges are the result of three years of relentless investigative work, in partnershipwith IRS Criminal Investigation and the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” said FBI SacramentoSpecial Agent in Charge Sid Patel. “The FBI will remain vigilant in the fight against publicfraud and corruption, and ensure government systems operate to the highest standards.” “Disguising personal expenses as business expenses — especially to claim improper taxdeductions or to willfully file fraudulent tax returns — damages the integrity of our taxsystem,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Nguyen of IRS-CI’s Oakland Field Office.“IRS-CI will continue to vigorously pursue those who seek to evade their legal taxobligations.” According to court documents, between February 2022 and September 2024, Williamsonconspired with others to defraud financial institutions by using straw donors to obtainmillions of dollars in illicit loans and lines of credit, which were then funneled intocampaigns that Williamson controlled. Prosecutors also allege that Williamson conspired with a business associate to createfraudulent invoices that were submitted to a mayoral campaign in January 2024 for workthat was never performed. Another portion of the conspiracy involved a scheme to stealmore than $750,000 by creating Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans made toWilliamson’s businesses. Williamson also subscribed to false tax returns claiming more than $1 million in businessdeductions for what were actually personal and nondeductible expenditures, such as privatejet travel, luxury hotel stays, home furnishings, and designer handbags, as well asdeductions for no-show jobs for friends and family. When questioned by FBI agents in connection with ongoing investigations into thediversion of campaign funds, the backdated contracts, and allegations of public corruption,Williamson made false statements to the agents regarding each of those topics. Williamson is scheduled to make her initial appearance on the charges at 2:00 p.m. in theU.S. Courthouse in Sacramento. The United States concurrently unsealed charging documents related to this case for twoother individuals charged by information. This case is the product of a multiyear investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigationand IRS Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael D. Anderson, RosanneRust, and Katherine T. Lydon, and Public Integrity Section Trial Attorney AlexandreDempsey are prosecuting the case. If convicted, Williamson faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count of bank fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud; up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count of conspiracy to obstruct and making a false statements; and up to three years in prison and a $100,000 fine for each count of subscribing to a false tax return. Any sentence, however, would be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. ########

Orlando International Airport (MCO) in Florida has launched a pilot program to test new biometric exit screening systems in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The 90-day pilot program, called the Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP) program, identifies passengers through biometric facial comparison. “Travelers can get their faces scanned, as opposed to having to pull out identification documents for review,” Fox News stated. Orlando Airport's Bold Move into Facial Recognition Orlando International Airport is testing new biometric technology to improve passenger experience and enhance safety as more than 56 million people pass through annually.https://t.co/M3QlpmzSZs — Derrick Broze (@DBrozeLiveFree) December 12, 2025 Fox News has more: Multiple passengers can board their international flights at the same time, due to the facial recognition cameras on the jetway. Photographs are matched with government records and are deleted within 12 hours, according to the program. Beginning Dec. 26, non-U.S. citizens will be required to use the biometric system — while U.S. citizens may opt out of it. CBP official Diane Sabatino said in a press conference that enhanced passenger screening has already reduced times for travelers at Orlando by 43%. “When we think about just a couple of seconds that they don’t have to get their passport, put bags down, move things — this is important to the efficiency of the entire process and not just to CBP, right?” Orlando airport expands facial IDs for international flyers https://t.co/zxrHqZQn3E pic.twitter.com/6nRkHk55su — Orlando Sentinel (@orlandosentinel) December 8, 2025 FOX 35 Orlando shared: Three vendors will demonstrate their systems in real time, allowing airport leaders to evaluate which technologies may become part of MCO’s long-term security strategy. CBP officials said faster processing for low-risk travelers would allow officers to focus more attention on higher-risk individuals. MCO says it is coordinating closely with airlines throughout the construction and testing phases to minimize disruptions. Watch additional coverage below:

Buckle up folks! Thomas Massie just went on record claiming to have evidence from three separate Whistleblowers (current and former employees) who are telling him the suspect arrested by the FBI for the DC J6 Pipe Bombing is NOT the right guy. I’m going to give you his full post thread, and then my thoughts below: These brave moral people could lose their jobs and wreck their careers, but they care deeply for our country. So at the risk of editorializing, I will summarize what I learned from this newest disclosure in order not to disclose the identity of this whistleblower. — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) December 12, 2025 He wanders around his neighborhood several times a day while walking a dog. Other than walking his dog, he doesn’t engage in any other activities outside his home. — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) December 12, 2025 He’s never been observed walking around in an angry or agitated state. His demeanor is detached and vacant. — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) December 12, 2025 His behavior is awkward. It’s obvious he has a mental disability,and likely lives in a permanently vulnerable, intellectual, and emotional state. It’s well known that individuals with mental conditions are susceptible to providing inaccurate and unwarranted “confessions.” — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) December 12, 2025 Based on the observations of several neighbors, the suspect does not appear to have the mental acumen to plan, prepare, and execute a complex bombing plot by himself. — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) December 12, 2025 Not only were neighbors not evacuated during the arrest and search of the alleged bomber’s home, they were required to remain in their homes. If the suspect had in fact been engaged in making bombs and stockpiling bomb materials, the proper safety precautions were not taken. — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) December 12, 2025 My personal conclusion: The FBI employee disclosing this information to me doesn’t believe the FBI has arrested a person who is capable or motivated, or even interested enough in affairs outside of his own small world, to execute the J6 pipe bomb plot on his own. End of . — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) December 12, 2025 And in case that is hard to read, here’s a condensed, text-only version that might be easier: The community where the suspect was arrested is populated with several employees of the FBI, Secret Service, and police. Many of them have observed the suspect on walks over the years. He wanders around his neighborhood several times a day while walking a dog. Other than walking his dog, he doesn’t engage in any other activities outside his home. He does not interact with anyone. He doesn’t wave or acknowledge others or even say hello. He does not even look at other people when he walks by. He appears to live in his own world. He’s never been observed walking around in an angry or agitated state. His demeanor is detached and vacant. He’s always worn headphones when walking around the neighborhood. It’s possible that he’s using headphones to drown out any surrounding noises. He doesn’t appear to be interested in anything or ever get interested in things that are happening around him. His behavior is awkward. It’s obvious he has a mental disability, and likely lives in a permanently vulnerable, intellectual, and emotional state. It’s well known that individuals with mental conditions are susceptible to providing inaccurate and unwarranted “confessions.” He does not drive his car very often. Based on the observations of several neighbors, the suspect does not appear to have the mental acumen to plan, prepare, and execute a complex bombing plot by himself. On November 13th, the FBI conducted a surveillance operation on the suspect’s street but the surveillance was easily identifiable to many in the area. Not only were neighbors not evacuated during the arrest and search of the alleged bomber’s home, they were required to remain in their homes. If the suspect had in fact been engaged in making bombs and stockpiling bomb materials, the proper safety precautions were not taken. My personal conclusion: The FBI employee disclosing this information to me doesn’t believe the FBI has arrested a person who is capable or motivated, or even interested enough in affairs outside of his own small world, to execute the J6 pipe bomb plot on his own. End of . Ok, so now let’s break it all down….because I actually have conflicting thoughts on this. My first thought is that I don’t see a lot of evidence in here, just speculation. To summarize most of this, it sounds like he is saying “The FBI has the wrong guy because this guy walks around his neighborhood a lot with earbuds in, and he might have a disability, so he couldn’t possibly have done this.” I’m sorry but that strikes me as very flimsy. If there 3 Whistleblowers and evidence, let’s see the evidence! This feels like pure speculation at best, and doesn’t really rise to the level of credible if you ask me. That all said, here are two conflicting thoughts to add to the other side of the discussion…. I’ve been on record as stating the evidence the FBI claims to have against Brian Cole Jr. also feels extremely flimsy and weak: Here’s All The Evidence Against Alleged J6 Pipe-Bomber Brian J. Cole, Jr. And I still can't quite get out of my head that report that The Blaze put out claiming they had identified the bomber with 94-98% accuracy using AI and gait-analysis of how the person walks. Remember this? BOMBSHELL UPDATE: J6 Pipe-Bomber Identified? Name Finally REVEALED With 94-98% Certainty A couple days ago, we brought you this viral report which claimed the J6 Pipe Bomber had finally been identified. That work was done by Steve Baker, who works with Glenn Beck's The Blaze. Incredible work. Here was our original report: BOMBSHELL: J6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Identified — “She’s one of us!” But until today, the actual name and identity had not been revealed. Now it has. Before I give that to you I want to give you a very important disclaimer.... NOTE: All individuals are innocent until proven guilty or until admitting guilt.  What I am going to report to you in this article are the results of the Steve Baker / Blaze investigation and forensic matching that they claim is 94-98% accurate.  I am not claiming this is the J6 Pipe Bomber, I'm simply showing you the reports that have been released today and the forensic analysis they claim to have followed. Ok? Ok. Drumroll please..... According to reports, the J6 Pipe Bomber is Shauni Kerkoff, a former Capitol Police Officer, now reportedly with the CIA: https://x.com/RealHickory/status/1986968781437194681 https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1987162479219118284 Here is a portion of the BOMBSHELL report out today from BlazeMedia: A forensic analysis of a female former U.S. Capitol Police officer’s gait is a 94%-98% match to the unique stride of the long-sought Jan. 6 pipe-bomb suspect, according to a Blaze News investigation confirmed by several intelligence sources. A source close to a congressional investigation of Jan. 6 additionally told Blaze News evidence has emerged recently that pointed toward law enforcement possibly being involved in the planting of the pipe bombs. ‘They were f**king in on it.’ A software algorithm that analyzes walking parameters including flexion (knee bend), hip extension, speed, step length, cadence, and variance rated Shauni Rae Kerkhoff, 31, of Alexandria, Va., as a 94% match to the bomb suspect shown on video from Jan. 5, 2021. The veteran analyst who ran the analysis for Blaze News said that based on visual observations the program can struggle with, he personally pegged the match at closer to 98%. Kerkhoff, who was a Capitol Police officer for four and a half years, left the department in mid-2021 for a security detail at the Central Intelligence Agency, sources told Blaze News. In that job, she reportedly serves on dignitary protection teams for officials including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and others, sources told Blaze News. Kerkhoff’s residence in Alexandria, Va., appeared to be under the watch of law enforcement officers on Friday night. Blaze News editor in chief Christopher Bedford was pulled over by local police after stopping to observe the home. He was then allowed to leave. Close to bomb suspect The FBI, which failed to solve the case in nearly five years of investigation but indicated that it was closing in after Blaze News brought its investigation to intelligence sources, was feet from the Falls Church address of the pipe bomb suspect days after Jan. 6, according to the Blaze News investigation. Former FBI Special Agent Kyle Seraphin realized Friday that he was doing surveillance next door to the woman now suspected of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber. “The FBI put us one door away from the pipe bomber within days of January 6, and we were deliberately pulled away for no logical or logically investigative reason,” Seraphin told Blaze News Friday. “And everything about that tells me that they were involved in a cover-up and have been since day one. Former Capitol Police Officer Shauni Kerkhoff (above) playing soccer in Columbus, Ohio. The pipe bomb suspect approaches the Democratic National Committee building on Jan. 5, 2025. Columbus Eagles FC, U.S. Capitol Police “They were f**king in on it,” Seraphin said. Seraphin proposed doing a “knock and talk” at the door of an Air Force civilian employee whose address was tied to a vehicle that picked up the bomb suspect in Falls Church, Va., on Jan. 5, 2021. Seraphin’s team spent two days watching the man, but Seraphin’s request to go face-to-face with the person of interest was denied. The team was pulled off the case the same night, he said. Seraphin said he has given the same details publicly since 2021. “There’s a personal reaction to it, which is the complete vindication that the things I’ve been saying and my recollection of being briefed on this stuff has been accurate for years and I’ve never changed my tune,” he said. The FBI tied a DC Metrorail SmarTrip card allegedly used by the pipe-bomb suspect to an Air Force civilian employee but determined that while the man purchased the card, he did not use it. The suspect allegedly used the card to travel from D.C. to a stop in Falls Church after planting the pipe bombs. The Air Force civilian employee had purchased the SmarTrip card a year earlier. Gait analysis The forensic study, arranged by Blaze News, revealed that Kerkhoff is up to a 98% match to the gait of the pipe-bomb suspect. The findings were confirmed by several current intelligence sources who viewed the study results. The source who did the comparison said the software rated the match at 94%. He put the figure at closer to a 96%-98% match, including a combination of human intelligence and the software analysis. Samples of Kerkhoff’s gait were taken from Jan. 6 Capitol Police CCTV security video and compared to unedited video of the hoodie-wearing suspect walking through an alley near C Street to place an alleged pipe bomb behind the Capitol Hill Club about 8:16 p.m. on Jan. 5. Two other sources familiar with gait analysis who viewed the video comparison and the software analysis told Blaze News they concurred that the video samples matched the gait of the gray-hoodie-wearing suspect. An expert in gait analysis used a computer algorithm to compare the gait of the pipe-bomb suspect (left) to that of Officer Shauni Rae Kerkhoff and obtained a 94% match. FBI/U.S. Capitol Police The mystery of the pipe bombs has hung over Jan. 6 for nearly five years. The FBI said an unknown subject placed pipe bombs under a park bench at the DNC and the Capitol Hill Club near the Republican National Committee building between 7:54 and 8:16 p.m. the night before the riot. Discovery of the devices between 12:40 and 1:05 p.m. respectively on Jan. 6 drew already depleted police resources away from the Capitol just as a huge crowd breached the grounds at 12:53 p.m. A joint session of Congress convened at 1 p.m. to take up challenges to the certification of the Electoral College vote from the 2020 presidential election. Kerkhoff was a Capitol Police officer from 2018 until mid-2021. She was a member of the department’s Civil Disturbance Unit and a training officer on the use of “less-lethal” crowd-control weapons that were extensively used on the Jan. 6 crowds.

One of the biggest mysteries surrounding January 6th, 2021 may have just been solved....and I'm speaking of the very strange pipe-bomb incident that almost no one ever talks about. In case you haven't been following this story, allow me to bring you up to speed so you can fully appreciate the news that is breaking today: BASIC TIMELINE On January 5, 2021, the night before the Capitol breach, two explosive devices were placed: One near the RNC headquarters One near the DNC headquarters The bombs were said to be fully functional, equipped with: Kitchen timer triggering mechanisms Metal pipe casings Powder fillings (originally claimed to be “non-lethal,” later quietly re-classified as capable of detonation) The FBI said the suspect placed both bombs between 7:30 PM and 8:40 PM. The unknown individual was seen in video wearing: A blue hoodie Grey backpack Face mask Using a casual, relaxed walking gait The suspect has never been identified despite: Washington D.C. being one of the most heavily surveilled cities on Earth Multiple cameras watching those exact routes Clear shoe tread, gait pattern, and unique behavior cues The tech to identify individuals through gait alone (known to be used by other federal agencies) THE CRITICAL DETAIL PEOPLE FOCUS ON The DNC bomb sat just feet from the Secret Service—because Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris was inside the DNC at the time. This was not revealed publicly for over a year. Right-leaning analysts argue: If this were an actual assassination attempt against a future VP, the government would have treated it as Act of War level seriousness. But there was no lockdown, no elevation of national terror alert, and no compelling push to identify or capture the bomber. This has led to the widely-discussed conclusion: The government didn’t react like this was an enemy threat because they already knew who placed the bombs. THE MOST EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION Glenn Beck, independent researchers, and whistleblowers have argued: The pipe bombs may have been staged. They were positioned as a narrative trigger — ready to be used if public messaging needed to shift. The bombs were timed to be discovered at the exact moment Congress was debating certification. However — and this is where the allegation sharpens: They were discovered too early.A civilian noticed one near the RNC and called police before the media moment was supposed to happen. This destroyed the intended timing. So instead of being used to frame the narrative, the bombs were quietly sidelined in favor of focusing exclusively on the Capitol breach. Ok, now that you understand all of that, here's the big Bombshell breaking right now.... Glenn Beck and Steve Baker just announced live on the air that they believe the mysterious J6 pipe-bomb suspect has been identified with 94% certainty, and an FBI official reportedly blurted out "Holy F-- she's one of us!" 'She's one of us!' Steve Baker stuns Glenn Beck with bombshell revelation about J6 pipe-bomb suspect https://t.co/Wrbv2cE5uz pic.twitter.com/IjQq4oNlgF — TheBlaze (@theblaze) November 5, 2025 The Blaze had this summary -- and then scroll down to watch the video: Beck indicated that the suspect will be named as soon as the relevant agencies have 'battened down the hatches.' Blaze News investigative reporters Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman have spent years working to identify the masked individual who placed pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5, 2021. Baker, whom the Biden FBI arrested over his January 6 reporting, revealed to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on Wednesday that they have finally locked in on a suspect. What's more, Baker hinted that the suspect's imminent identification will implicate and shame at least one federal agency. 'It is monstrous.' Baker told Beck, "When I pulled this thread, I was so shocked by what I saw, I immediately took it to a source in one of the most important, highest-level investigative federal agencies in the country. I immediately took it to our sources there, and I said, 'You have to see this.'" "After they looked at it for about two hours, the response that I got back was, 'Holy F,'" continued Baker. "And then the follow-up response was, 'She's one of us!'" When pressed by Beck about his confidence level in the suspect ID, Baker said, "I will tell you that from gait analysis — that's the analysis of the hoodied bomber ... compared to the gait analysis of this individual in private life and at work — that the actual software hit at a 94% accuracy." "Human analysis from the experts in intelligence is much higher," continued Baker. "They looked at it and went, 'My God, that's it. We got it.'" Forensic gait analysis — the scientific study of patterns in an individual's style of movement in walking or running — is regarded as one of the most sophisticated approaches to identifying an individual from CCTV footage or video recordings and as especially valuable in the absence of other biometric identifiers. The American Bar Association's Criminal Justice Magazine noted in 2023 that gait analysis, which has been used to help secure criminal convictions throughout the Anglosphere for decades, "can be compelling, corroborating evidence," especially since "criminals cannot hide their gait." Baker indicated that he left some "breadcrumbs" in recent reports. Hanneman and Baker reported last week, for instance, that the 8.5-minute video about the Jan. 6 pipe bombs released by the FBI in October contained footage edited to exclude showing a U.S. Capitol Police SUV pull up directly across the street from where the suspect stood at 8:15 p.m. on January 5, 2021. In addition to raising suspicion about the selective edit, the investigative duo claimed that the FBI also deliberately chose not to publicly acknowledge the theory that the pipe bombs were part of a poorly timed training exercise. Baker told Beck on Wednesday that while the FBI and the Metropolitan Police Department are offering a $500,000 reward for evidence that leads to an arrest in the case, he didn't take the new evidence implicating the yet-to-be named suspect to the agencies "because we believe that they were actively engaged in the cover-up." Watch the full report here: FULL TRANSCRIPT: Glenn:There is a breaking news story that hopefully is coming out tomorrow. You'll understand once you hear the story. This is one of the biggest stories.I think it is the biggest scandal of my lifetime, maybe in the last 100 years. It is monstrous, what Steve Baker is going to report on. And we're gonna give you a little bit of background. I can tell you this: there is a major development in the January 6th pipe bomber investigation. Blaze News has the exclusive, because it is Steve's reporting that has brought this to attention. And unfortunately, the lead suspect is at the highest levels of government. It is a massive, massive scandal. And Steve joins me now. Steve:Hello, Glenn. Glenn:Hey, Steve. Good morning. So, the reason why we're not breaking it today is because—well, first, how long have you been working on this story? Steve:I've been pulling the threads on this for exactly 4 years. But I finally pulled the correct thread exactly 2 weeks ago today. Glenn:I have to tell you, if anybody ever wondered why they made such a big deal out of arresting you, this is why. Because you were pulling at these threads the whole time and you were relentless. And you were working on another story, right? And just dots started to appear and you were like—how did this come to you? Steve:Well, the genesis of this goes back to much of my work examining the various players at Capitol Police. Capitol Police seem to have a much, much oversized participation in how January 6th developed. And when I say that, I'm not talking about the frontline officers. Many of those frontline officers have become some of our most trusted sources. And by the way—they love The Blaze. They love our coverage. Just this past January 6th, I was there covering the certification of the election. Think about the irony of that. I was in the Capitol. I had three different officers, two plainclothes and one uniformed, stop me in the hallways to whisper, "We love your work." Glenn:Because you're rooting out the bad guys. Not all the officers are bad. There's a few. And your story that came out yesterday about the tear gas and the devices that were shot into the faces and heads of protesters—those guys knew exactly what they were doing. They're on tape. That helps the average officer because you can now say, "It was them." Steve:That's right. Look, we've examined this particular story for years. We've done updates. But finally, Joe Hanneman and myself started drilling down into identifying who these officers were once we knew they were taking deliberately, criminally negligent shots. These are training officers. Training officers in use of less-than-lethal munitions. And what we discovered by going straight to the manufacturers and the people who certify the training officers is that they are told—it's printed on the sides of these weapons—you cannot aim them at people's heads, faces, necks, groins, kidneys. These can be deadly. And at the range these officers were firing in the first 10 minutes of the riot, these were deliberate shots. One of our closest sources, a retired special operations Army guy familiar with these devices, said that if they are training officers, they have uttered these words to their classes: "Oh, by the way, if you want to start a riot, shoot them in the head." Glenn:Okay. So you're working on that story. And it's in that story that people will see why this connects to the next one. When you started to find the individual—you were buttoned up. You had video and everything else. And then you brought it to the government? Steve:For the follow-up story, yes. I left breadcrumbs in the story on purpose. What we discovered was a character with a high degree of probability involved in the biggest scandal—not just of January 6th, but possibly our government system. Glenn:Like bomb. Steve:Yeah. And it's at the highest levels. And yes, we are going to name names. When I stumbled on what I stumbled on—because, as I said, I've been pulling these threads for years—when I pulled this one, I was so shocked that I immediately took it to a source in one of the most important investigative federal agencies in the country. I said, "You have to see this." After reviewing it for about two hours, the response I got back was, "Holy F."And then the follow-up response was, "She's one of us." And when you find out the position... This is going to lead to a lot of people at the highest levels who had to have known because of what happened after January 6th. How big does this net get? I don't know. But I will tell you this: there is a $500,000 reward on that bomber. There is a reason I did not take it to the agency offering the reward. Because we believe they were actively engaged in the cover-up. Glenn, I have no subpoena power. I do not have the resources of an $11 billion-a-year bureau. And yet, I discovered this. And they didn’t. Glenn:No. I don't believe that. Steve:Neither do I. Glenn:I know who you brought it to, and—right move. Exactly the right move. So today there's another briefing because this has to be done right, because of national security. Correct? Steve:That's correct. They have to take care of certain things. And once that's handled, the story will be released. Glenn:What's your confidence level in this story? Steve:From gait analysis alone—comparing the hooded bomber to this individual—the software hit at 94%. Human analysis by top intelligence experts is even higher. They looked at it and said, "That's it. You've got it." And moves have already been made. There's also a political aspect, because of inter-agency issues. And yes, this is being taken to the President’s Chief of Staff. Glenn:There’s going to be a lot of activity in Washington today. Hopefully, we’ll release the story tomorrow. This is All The President's Men. In a sane world, this would be a best-selling book and a blockbuster movie. This is really bad. Really, really bad. Steve:Yeah. Glenn:Good job. Thank you. Steve:Thank you. Glenn:Steve Baker—investigative journalist. When I first started The Blaze, I hoped we would be able to do investigative journalism like this. And now we are. This is Pulitzer-level work. Support The Blaze. Become a member. This kind of work needs to be supported. I had a hard time sleeping last night because everything suddenly made sense. Every piece. Every motive. Every move. It all comes together. And hopefully, we will have the exclusive for you tomorrow—once the agencies have battened down the hatches. Glenn is calling it the biggest scandal in his lifetime, and that seems to be a moving target as each day something new and bigger comes out. But if it is confirmed that the FBI or some other 3-letter agency staged this whole pipe-bomb thing, that truly will dwarf Watergate and anything else by comparison.

To wrap this up, allow me to add one additional layer so you can understand how deep this runs.... Joe Biden's DOJ sent Steve Baker to PRISON just for daring to COVER this story! He was later Pardoned by President Trump, but you can see how badly they don't want this to come out. Folks, I've been telling you we're in the calm before the storm, but when this comes out it's going to blow things WIDE OPEN and it could get very ugly. Likely tomorrow.
