Have you heard about the “bee-pocalypse?” My new video explains.  Honeybees are dying!  It’s another environmental crisis we’re supposed to worry about.   The media call it “bee-pocalypse” and “bee-mageddon!”  A YouTube video with 15 million views says bee-mageddon “could lead to millions of people starving!”  Even Fox News shrieked, “Do you like to eat? The disappearance of honeybees could have a drastic impact on our nation’s food supply!”  It’s nonsense.  Now, it’s true that, about 20 years ago, many American bees did die. Beekeepers opened hives and found their bees gone. Scientists called it “colony collapse disorder.” No one knows what caused it. After the initial dramatic reports, it’s steadily diminished.   But media hysteria hasn’t.   Beekeepers adjusted to colony collapse. They divided remaining colonies to make new hives. Bee numbers increased by millions.  “We’re not in any way facing an apocalypse,” says Science journalist Jon Entine. “Things have never been better in terms of the numbers of bees.”  Entine runs the Genetic Literacy Project, which challenges scientific misinformation.  I remind him that the media continue to run scare stories.  “Bees are dying at an alarming rate,” says NBC.  CNN headlines: “Bee Population is Dying … the food we eat is at risk.”  It’s so stupid.   “They could have just Googled bee population, and they would’ve seen them going up?” I ask.  “Absolutely,” responds Entine. “It’s farcical.”  In 2013, Time magazine’s cover predicted “A World Without Bees!”   “I don’t remember seeing Time apologize,” I tell Entine.   “Time has not even written a new article that puts this in science perspective,” he responds. Nor did The New York Times Magazine correct its cover story on “The Insect Apocalypse.” They just “skipped on to another ‘crisis.’”  “There’s always a scare,” I point out.  “Catastrophe, exaggeration,” he says. “That gets the clicks.”  Entine complains that the media rarely interview serious scientists for its scare stories.  “They have the Environmental Working Group or Pesticide Action Network framing these issues … . Hysteria generates donations. The oxygen for these organizations is money.”  Sadly, “Many of these [environment] groups harm people.”  How? By convincing gullible politicians to ban fertilizers and new pesticides, even though the new chemicals are usually safer.  For example, even with worldwide honeybee populations at record highs, the European Union prohibited the use of neonicotinoids, a common insecticide, out of fear they might kill bees.  That means farmers use older, more dangerous chemicals that actually do kill bees.  But why use these chemicals at all?  I push back at Entine, “‘Natural’ food advocates say: ‘Organic! You don’t have to have chemicals! Buy organic, and you don’t get them!”  Entine laughs and says, “They use chemicals extensively! It’s not like organic farmers can sprinkle organic fairy dust to get rid of insects and weeds.”   Instead, they use “natural” chemicals “like copper sulfate,” he says, “one of the most toxic chemicals in the world!”  Sri Lanka’s president listened to activists and banned chemical fertilizers.  Suddenly, farms produced much less food. Prices rose 80%.   Sri Lankans invaded the presidential mansion, and the president fled his country.   The new government re-legalized chemical fertilizers. Only then could the crisis end.  “This attack on industrial chemicals,” says Entine, “is really a way for the environmental industry—industry is what it is—to go after what they call big [agriculture], big corporations. It’s an anti-capitalist movement.”  The anti-capitalists oppose genetically modified organisms (GMOs). They’ve persuaded most European countries to basically ban GMO crops.   But genetic modification allows farmers to grow more food on less land. It creates plants resistant to disease and insects. That allows farmers to use fewer pesticides. That’s good for everyone, especially poor people.   In Bangladesh, scientists invented a GMO eggplant.   “It decreased use of chemicals by 85%,” says Entine. “Allowing women and children who do most of the farming to live a much more viable life. We have to be smart about these things!”  “We’re not being smart,” I note.  “No,” he says, “We’re following an outdated, 40-year-old environmental script that doesn’t work in this technologically innovative world. … They hurt the very people they claim to help.”  Modern chemicals and GMOs make our food cheaper and safer.   Deceitful money-hungry environmental groups won’t acknowledge that.  COPYRIGHT 2024 BY JFS PRODUCTIONS INC.

The US Department of Commerce is seeking to end the right of users of cloud services to remain anonymous. The proposal first emerged in January, documents show, detailing new rules (National Emergency with Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities) for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers, which include Know Your Customer (KYC) regulation, which is normally used by banks and financial institutions. But now, the US government is citing concerns over “malicious foreign actors” and their usage of these services as a reason to effectively end anonymity on the cloud, including when only signing up for a trial. Another new proposal from the notice is to cut access to US cloud services to persons designated as “foreign adversaries.” As is often the case, although the justification for such measures is a foreign threat, US citizens inevitably, given the nature of the infrastructure in question, get caught up as well. And, once again, to address a problem caused by a few users, everyone will be denied the right to anonymity. That would these days be any government’s dream, it appears, while the industry itself, especially the biggest players like Amazon, can implement the identification feature with ease, at the same time gaining a valuable new source of personal data. The only losers here appear to be users of IaaS platforms, who will have to allow tech giants yet another way of accessing their sensitive personal information and risk losing it through leaks. Meanwhile, the actual malicious actors will hardly give up those services – leaked personal data that can be sold and bought illegally, including by those the proposal says it is targeting. Until now, providers of cloud services felt no need to implement a KYC regime, instead allowing people to become users, or try their products, simply by providing an email, and a valid credit card in case they signed up for a plan. As for what the proposal considers to be an IaaS, the list is long and includes services providing processing, storage, networks, content delivery networks (CDNs), virtual private servers (VPSs), proxies, domain name resolution services, and more.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. The US House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the disgraced and disbanded Disinformation Governance Board (a part of the Department of Homeland Security, DHS), has decided to release a redacted transcript of a deposition given last April by the Board’s director, Nina Jankowicz. We obtained a copy of the transcript for you here. The deposition was supposed to shed light on how the DHS was handling the avalanche of negative reactions to the board, envisaged as a key component in the current White House’s “anti-disinformation” frenzy, but which quickly got overwhelmed by criticism of being openly biased. One of the DHS tactics, according to Jankowicz, was to avoid transparency even where it concerned on-the-record information about the board. “The guidance from up above was that we were to be as vague as possible, which I found very frustrating,” Jankowicz said. While this may look like an attempt by Jankowicz to protect herself, in terms of her own decisions and actions, it tracks: the censorship playbook that is used far more widely, from government entities to Big Tech, has always relied on different ways to obfuscate. As for this particular “guidance,” Jankowicz pointed the finger at her colleague Jen Daskal as basically the messenger – while the message, she said, was likely coming from elsewhere in the organization. Jankowicz also complained to the Committee about being “thrown under the bus” by the DHS, once the agency realized the magnitude of opposition to the board’s activities. Perhaps the opposition wouldn’t have been so intense if the DHS showed less hubris and picked a less divisive person to lead the Board  in the first place – Jankowicz was a well-known Biden supporter and campaign policy advisor (and, some would say, a Biden apologist) before she became the head of the Board, shortly after “getting thrown under the bus.” However, appearing before the Committee, Jankowicz saw no relevance to her social media posts that revealed her ideological bias, including a jarring example of her trying to prop up the discredited “dossier author” Christopher Steele, and also join voices seeking to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story. Jankowicz told the Judiciary Committee that she was advised by her attorney not to answer questions that were “not pertinent.” But, it also revealed how even something with a powerful agency like the DHS behind it can collapse like a house of cards. “We did not provide enough information at the outset. We left a vacuum for people to speculate. And indeed, within hours of the board being announced, the phrase ‘ministry of truth’ – which, again, the board had nothing to do with being a ministry of truth – was trending on social media,” Jankowicz stated.

Of Course: Biden Was Plotting With Iran Against Israel

Quick pop quiz: how many moons does the Earth have? If you said one, you are correct – but Earth occasionally picks up quasi-moons, which are not gravitationally bound to our planet but share our orbit for a time and are influenced by our gravity during their orbit around the Sun.But as well as a regular moon and the odd quasi-moon, Earth also has ghost moons. To understand these so-called "moons" – also termed Kordylewski clouds – you need to learn about Lagrange Points, but fortunately these are pretty cool too."Lagrange Points are positions in space where the gravitational forces of a two-body system like the Sun and Earth produce enhanced regions of attraction and repulsion," NASA explains. "These can be used by spacecraft as 'parking spots' in space to remain in a fixed position with minimal fuel consumption."These regions are not all stable, though even the unstable regions can prove useful.There are five Lagrange points, but not all of them are stable.Image credit: NASA."Of the five Lagrange points, three are unstable and two are stable. The unstable Lagrange points – labeled L1, L2, and L3 – lie along the line connecting the two large masses," NASA continues. "The stable Lagrange points – labeled L4 and L5 – form the apex of two equilateral triangles that have the large masses at their vertices. L4 leads the orbit of earth and L5 follows."This isn't an abstract idea, but something we use in practice. The JWST is placed in the L2 Lagrange point between the Earth and the Sun, while the L1 point is used for the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory Satellite, for its uninterrupted view of our star.                     Smaller bodies are often found in these stable Lagrange points, with the obvious example being trojan asteroids found in the L4 and L5 points between Jupiter and the Sun.               Lagrange points also occur within the Earth-Moon system, with L4 and L5 also being stable. Though they don't contain any smaller bodies (that we know of), astronomers have been searching for "ghost moons" in the regions since the 1960s, which are accumulations of dust in the region. This is not an easy task, as the dust is difficult to detect against the backdrop of skyglow, starlight, zodiacal light, and light from the Milky Way, so it's no surprise that we didn't find signs of one for a while. They were tentatively reported by Kazimierz Kordylewski, who gives the clouds one of their names. But the Japanese Hiten space probe, which launched in 1990, did not find any obvious signs of an increase in dust as it passed through the L4 and L5 points between the Earth and the Moon, making discovery seem unlikely.However, in 2018, one team attempted to model Kordylewski clouds to see how they might best be detected. The team chose to use polarizing filters, which let through only polarized light, knowing that reflected or scattered light is usually polarized. When they looked for the ghost moons at the L5 point, they found light that had been polarized by dust, while the team ruled out other sources of polarization based on the direction of polarization."For the first time we have observed and registered polarimetrically the [Kordylewski clouds] around the Lagrange point L5 of the Earth and Moon," the team wrote in their paper. "By this we corroborated the existence of the KDC first observed photometrically by Kordylewski.""The [clouds] may be a transient phenomenon," they added, "because the L4 and L5 points might be unstable due to perturbations of the Sun, solar wind, and other planets, as many astronomers believe."The paper is published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Maybe the tides are turning… Sunday night marked the finale of "American Idol's" 22nd season. Not only did a girl who previously sang a Christian song win the entire competition, but during the three-hour-long show, one of top 12 contestants, Roman Collins, sang "Goodness of God” with gospel music legend CeCe Winans. Winans, who’s won dozens of awards and sold more than 17 million records as the Christian Broadcasting Network reported, was invited to sing about God’s goodness with Collins, who was eliminated just before the top 10 contestants were announced. Their performance was not only jaw dropping in vocal talent and performance ability, but the power of the Holy Spirit was overwhelming. A clip of the performance was shared on the American Idol Instagram page and has almost 700,000 likes and 27.4 million views with many users commenting prayer emojis or praising God as well. On YouTube, the full video has close to 300,000 views. What’s shocking is that the other videos from the evening don’t even come close to viewership and engagement. A video posted just before it where singer Nick Frandiani sang with the guys of the top 12 has only 367,000 views on Instagram and a video where the New Kids on the Block sang with a different top contestant only has 794,000 views. Shockingly, even though this video proclaims the message of Jesus and the Goodness he can provide, it doesn’t seem like Big Tech giants have squashed its reach like they normally do. That’s the thing, though. This sort of content is growing and deserves to be spread so that others can hear its messaging. If songs about sex, drugs and heartbreak are able to go viral, why can’t a performance about our awesome God go viral too?!   Sunday also marked pop singer and judge Katy Perry’s last season on the show after seven-years of being on the judges panel. When Winans and Collins sang the words “with every breath that I am able, I will sing, of the goodness of God,” the camera panned to Perry, visibly tearing up. While she was likely flooded with the emotion of closing this Idol chapter in her life, I can’t help but hope that the Holy Spirit was stirring something in her. We are living in a time where the message of Jesus is desperately needed. Our culture is so immersed in the things of this world and needs nothing more than to redirect our focus to our Father in Heaven, the only one who can truly satisfy. Kudos to "American Idol," this time, for allowing a Christian song to be sung and for God’s name to be proclaimed to such a large audience. Hopefully this becomes the standard, not the anomaly.

CBS Mornings host Gayle King and foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab could hardly contain their excitement as Spain, Norway, and Ireland announced on Wednesday they will recognize a Palestinian state. The duo brought all the positive adjective from “major” to “very big” to “enormous” to “significant,” but absent from the conversation was even the smallest suggestion that the three countries were incentivizing more terrorism. King kicked things off by reporting “We have a major development this morning related to the war in Gaza. Three European governments, all U.S. allies, say they will recognize a Palestinian state next Tuesday. Now, as you know Palestinians have wanted this for decades. Imtiaz Tyab is following this in East Jerusalem and has the latest on it. Imtiaz, this is a very big deal. Can you help us understand the significance of this?”     Ireland is not an ally of the U.S., at least not in the treaty sense that the other two are, but that aside, Tyab began by claiming, “it's an enormous deal for these three European countries to do so and as you can imagine Israel has reacted pretty furiously to the move, and their decision to formally recognize a Palestinian state, so angry it's ordered back its ambassadors to Norway and Ireland and has called the plan, and I'm and quoting here, ‘a distorted step,’ as the fighting in Gaza rages on a warning now to our viewers, some of the images in this report are quite distressing.” That was the closest Tyab came to giving the Israeli perspective. Sure, he said they considered to it to be “distorted,” but he never said why. Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 in one of the worst terrorist attacks in world history and the worst crime against the Jewish people since the Holocaust and Dubin, Madrid, and Oslo—two of which were neutral during World War II— responded by rewarding the perpetrators. It tells the Palestinians that the way to achieve their goals is through more violence. The terrorist-enabling trio, however, thinks Israel is the one that needs to be pressured as Tyab reported, “Ireland’s Taoiseach, Simon Harris, made the announcement alongside the Spanish and Norwegian prime ministers, the move is both rare and significant, only a handful of European countries already recognize a Palestinian state and the three leaders said they hope others will follow as part of global pressure to push Israel to accept a political process that could end the fighting in Gaza.  After further reports on “more violence and more death,” Tyab returned to the essentially and unwittingly undermine everything he and King previously said, “Now, despite the move this morning by Ireland, Norway and Spain, most other European nations still believe recognition of a Palestinian state should only come as part of a long-term negotiated two-state solution to the conflict, a position also held by the U.S.” The troublemaking trifecta will not bring peace, but they will bring more terrorism and it is to CBS’s great shame they could not report on that. Here is a transcript for the May 22 show: CBS Mornings 5/22/2024 8:06 AM ET GAYLE KING: We have a major development this morning related to the war in Gaza. Three European governments, all U.S. allies, say they will recognize a Palestinian state next Tuesday. Now, as you know, Palestinians have wanted this for decades. Imtiaz Tyab is following this in East Jerusalem and has the latest on it. Imtiaz, this is a very big deal. Can you help us understand the significance of this? IMTIAZ TYAB: Gayle, it's an enormous deal for these three European countries to do so and as you can imagine Israel has reacted pretty furiously to the move, and their decision to formally recognize a Palestinian state, so angry it's ordered back its ambassadors to Norway and Ireland and has called the plan, and I'm and quoting here, “a distorted step,” as the fighting in Gaza rages on a warning now to our viewers, some of the images in this report are quite distressing. SIMON HARRIS: Today, Ireland, Norway and Spain are announcing that we recognize the state of Palestine. TYAB: Ireland’s Taoiseach, Simon Harris, made the announcement alongside the Spanish and Norwegian prime ministers, the move is both rare and significant, only a handful of European countries already recognize a Palestinian state and the three leaders said they hope others will follow as part of global pressure to push Israel to accept a political process that could end the fighting in Gaza.  At the Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the northern Jabalia refugee camp, 150 patients and medics had to run for their lives after the Israeli military carried out repeated strikes nearby, one intensive care patient was pushed through the ruined street still in his hospital bed.  To the south, in Deir al-Balah, more violence and more death. A CBS News team was at the Al-Aqsa Hospital after the Israelis killed more than 12, including small children and this infant, removed from his dead mother's womb, not even given the chance to breathe his first breath.  The sharp increase in violence comes as Israel continues to widen its offensive in Rafah, a U.S. official has said Israeli leaders have quote “addressed many of President Biden's concerns” about a full scale ground invasion of the southern city.  But the White House has yet to signal a support for full scale assault on Gaza's only relatively intact city.  Now, despite the move this morning by Ireland, Norway and Spain, most other European nations still believe recognition of a Palestinian state should only come as part of a long-term negotiated two-state solution to the conflict, a position also held by the U.S. Nate?

Court filings in the federal classified documents case against former President Donald Trump created a stir Tuesday, prompting new concerns about the nature of the FBI's Aug. 8, 2022, raid of Mar-a-Lago. The indication that federal agents were authorized to use deadly force prompted Trump and his allies to conclude that the raid had the makings of an assassination attempt. The FBI has responded, pointing out the offending policy is simply standard procedure. Others have also pointed out that the Trumps were out of state at the time of the raid, which was coordinated with U.S. Secret Service in advance. The filing According to a motion for relief filed on Trump's behalf, FBI agents were directed by an "Operations Order" to seize "classified information, [National Defense Information], and US Government records as described in [the] warrant." 'Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force when necessary.' When executing the raid — which was personally authorized by Attorney General Merrick Garland — agents were apparently cleared to go in hot. The order said, "Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force when necessary," according to the filing. The filing, which argued the raid was unconstitutional, indicated further that "the agents planned to bring 'Standard Issue Weapon[s],' 'Ammo,' 'Handcuffs,' and 'medium and large sized bolt cutters,' but they were instructed to wear 'unmarked polo or collared shirts' and to keep 'law enforcement equipment concealed.'" RealClearInvestigations' Julie Kelly highlighted that among the stated "contingencies," armed FBI agents were instructed to be "prepared to engage with [Former President of the United States] and [U.S. Secret Service] Security Team." The fury Trump and several of his allies seized upon the filing, suggesting that the deadly force authorization amounted to clearance for a hit. 'BIDEN'S DOJ WAS AUTHORIZED TO SHOOT ME!' Trump noted on Truth Social, "WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the 'Icebox,' and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden's DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE. NOW WE KNOW, FOR SURE, THAT JOE BIDEN IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. HE IS MENTALLY UNFIT TO HOLD OFFICE — 25TH AMENDMENT!" The Washington Post indicated that the Trump campaign also circulated a fundraising email claiming that "BIDEN'S DOJ WAS AUTHORIZED TO SHOOT ME!" In the first of a series of greatly ridiculed tweets, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) asked, "Was deadly force authorized against Biden for his docs? Were they going to shoot SS then Pres Trump, Melania, and Barron too?" "I made sure that he knew," Greene said in a subsequent tweet, which has received a community note. "The Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate Pres Trump and gave the green light. Does everyone get it yet???!!!!" — (@) Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) asserted, "Biden ordered the hit on Trump at Mar-a-Lago." Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon said on his show "War Room" that this was an "assassination attempt on Donald John Trump or people associated with him. They wanted a gun fight. ... They had use of deadly force authorized by the director of the FBI and Merrick Garland. They brought a medic, a combat medic. They brought — they had a triage plan for the injured and they had a trauma center." The FBI policy "The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force," the bureau said in a statement obtained by the New York Post. "No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter." 'Deadly force is always authorized if the required threat presents itself.' Frank Figliuzzi, the FBI's former assistant director of counterintelligence, noted that "every FBI operations order contains a reminder of FBI deadly force policy. Even for a search warrant. Deadly force is always authorized if the required threat presents itself." Community notes on Gosar and Greene's tweets also indicated the deadly force authorization "is standard language by the DOJ relating to their policy on use of force and has nothing to do with President Biden." In 2023, former FBI assistant director in charge Steve D'Antuono testified to Congress that it "wasn't even a show of force," reported Axios. "It wasn't even a show of force, right, because we were all in agreement," D'Antuono told the House Committee on the Judiciary. "We didn't do a show of force, right. I was adamant about that, and that was something that we agreed on, right, the FBI agreed on, right. No raid jackets, no blazed FBI. We interact. We made sure we interacted with the Secret Service to make sure we could get into Mar-a-Lago with no issues. We're not banging down any doors." Like Blaze News?

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been one of the biggest names in the hip-hop industry for years, but he’s just now being exposed for violently assaulting his ex-girlfriend and is accused of connections to a human trafficking ring. So, why is it all only coming to light now? Host of "Fearless," Jason Whitlock, believes it goes deeper than Diddy simply being a bad apple in the rap industry. “Rap music is lyrical pornography, and we’ve mainstreamed all of these guys. And not that physical pornography is any better, but I just don’t remember Hugh Hefner and Larry Flint being invited to the White House, the Oval Office,” Whitlock tells Glenn Beck. “I’m not shocked that Diddy and his depraved behavior from the video, beating up the woman, to the accusations of sex trafficking,” Whitlock continues. “It goes right along with rap music. It’s peanut butter and jelly.” Glenn sees where Whitlock is going with this, explaining that Diddy reminds him of Epstein. “I absolutely am convinced that Epstein was an agent of our government, or a government, and it’s why he got away with so much. I think he was an agent for our government. P. Diddy had cameras in every room, everybody came over, doing all kinds of stuff, he has dirt on everybody,” Glenn says, asking Whitlock, “Do you think he was an agent?” “Yes,” Whitlock says without hesitation. “A CIA agent would be my guess, and I think that a lot of the people in the rap music industry are.” “There’s so little talent, actual talent in rap music, and so it doesn’t require some level of skill. And so these people are clearly selected,” he adds. And something Kanye West has said in the past supports Whitlock’s theory. “Kanye West has said in an interview, ‘Hey look, they can’t pressure me the way they pressure some of these other artists because I’ve never committed murder,’” Whitlock explains. Glenn isn’t surprised, especially after a conversation he had with a “good guy” who works in Hollywood and is disgusted by what happens inside it. “He said, ‘You have no idea. It is full out almost devil worship.’ He said, ‘It is so dark in Hollywood. And the things that go on, if people knew that these documentaries are just scratching the surface of what really happens,’” Glenn recalls, adding, “That’s terrifying, just terrifying.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Everyone knows the iconic photo of the smiling man holding a lectern on January 6, but not everyone knows his story — particularly his prison story. And as Dallas filmmaker and January 6 protester Luke Coffee awaits another prison sentence for his participation on that fateful day, “Lectern Guy” Adam Johnson feels inclined to share. “The cooking’s the best part of it,” Johnson tells Coffee and BlazeTV host of "Prime Time with Alex Stein" Alex Stein. “You work throughout the week, and then the weekends come and everyone comes together. You cook food, cheesecake," Johnson says. “Where I was put first sounds a lot worse than where you were. We didn’t have any cheesecake and we had hooch,” Coffee says, adding, “I was in a condemned prison in the middle of Texas, like in small-town Texas, and I was the only J6er in there, with, you know, all high-level felons, so it was a little different story.” “That sounds more of like a country club experience,” Coffee tells Johnson. “So I’m hoping for that.” Coffee's time served was anything but a country club experience. “My guard was ‘Meth Mouth,’ like he was passing drugs the whole time, and there were eight of us in there. Eight of us in a 15x30 cell and it was still COVID, so we didn’t get tablets,” Coffee explains. “We got to go to the yard six times, and it was mainly brothers, and my Mexicano brothers too.” While Johnson had a different experience, it was tough for him at times as well. “You know, the rest of the week is awful, but you get those little moments where you feel like maybe you’re not in prison for 15-20 minutes. You’re cooking, you’re talking about sports,” Johnson says, to Coffee's surprise. “I think you have God in your heart ‘cause you have a joyful attitude,” Coffee comments, while Stein agrees. “100%,” Stein says, adding, “He’s the most positive guy that I’ve seen when it comes to January 6.” Want more from Alex Stein?To enjoy more of Alex's culture jamming, comedic monologues, skits, and street segments, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
