Trump ally Mike Lindell reveals who really rigged the voting machines for Biden in 2020
MyPillow mogul and longtime Donald Trump ally Mike Lindell believes that Satan was part of an effort to rig the 2020 election for Joe Biden. Lindell had a closed-door meeting at the White House with Trump as recently as last month, pleading with the president to bring up the enforcement of an obscure tax provision that touched small businesses, including his own, during the pandemic. The CEO has been touring the country for years trying to convince people that voter fraud tipped the scales in favor of Joe Biden four years ago. He spoke outside a courtroom in Denver as he faces defamation charges from Dominion Voting Systems, a company based in the city whom he says help throw the 2020 contest to Biden. While he blamed many of the usual targets for the result that sent Biden to the White House - including the Deep State, globalists and the Chinese Communist Party - he took things to a different level Monday. 'We're in a battle of biblical proportions, of evil and good. This isn't a party thing. This is a thing for our country and our world,' Lindell claimed. 'And when you say who's behind it all? Satan, there's one. You know, this is a nation that turned its back on God.' Despite this, he did warn that whatever happens next is 'up to God' and 'much bigger than all of us,' suggesting a sinister 'computer algorithm' overseeing elections. However, he made it clear that he does not necessarily blame Biden's party for the election. 'When people ask me that, you've never heard me over the last four years bashing the Democrats,' Lindell said. 'The people that did this to our country, I believe it's four: it's the uniparty, the Deep State, Globalists, and the CCP.' Lindell is currently standing in a defamation lawsuit filed in federal court in Colorado by Eric Coomer, former director of product strategy and security for Denver-based Dominion. Jury selection took place Monday, with opening statements set to be delivered on Tuesday. Fox News in 2023 paid $787 million to settle a defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems after airing claims about the firm's electronic voting machine systems. Lindell says his legal battles have wrecked his finances. 'I'm in ruins,' he told federal District Court Judge Carl Nichols in a hearing last month relating to the Smartmatic defamation suit against him. And he continues to face his own situation with the IRS, although he says it is on a matter he brought to the agency's attention. At issue here is the $10 million Lindell invested in a substance he said was a 'cure' for the coronavirus that he purchased in the spring of 2020. It is now expired and sitting in a warehouse, and Lindell says he wants to take a write-off on the lost value. 'It was Mike Lindell, it's me. I bought the stuff out of my personal money. I put $10 million up to save the country and instead .. was attacked,' he said. He says he tried to send it to Israel, the Philippines, and Brazil, and that the IRS came to view the stockpile. 'So I've been dealing with the IRS on that deduction,' he said, referring to the substance derived from Oleander as both a 'cure' and a 'supplement,' although the FDA rejected it. The Washington Post reported in April that a political appointee at the the Treasury Department contacted the IRS on Lindell's behalf after he got his second audit letter in two years, intervening on behalf of a 'high profile friend of the president.' Lindell denied being under a second audit, calling it a 'big lie,' and saying 'I'm the one that reached out to them.' 'They went there, took pictures of all of my warehouses that had all this stuff in there that never, never got used,' he said of the IRS. 'That became an audit and that's still going on,' he said. 'It's just arguing over that deduction.' He got both issues in front of Trump by asking when he was at the White House for the National Day of Prayer.

Trump Spreads Bizarre Conspiracy Theory That Biden Was Executed and Replaced by a Robot Clone
Donald Trump reposted a baseless conspiracy theory claiming Joe Biden was 'executed in 2020' and replaced with a robot clone. The president shared a post from a user on Truth Social late Saturday that alleged: 'There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. #Democrats don't know the difference.' Similar unfounded theories about Biden have been floating around the internet for years. An eight-hour Facebook video posted in 2021 claimed that 'Biden is computer generated.' Others have more recently purported that Biden was replaced with artificial intelligence. The Truth Social account that posted the allegation that Biden is a robot has dabbled in other conspiracy theory lies, including that the 2020 election was 'stolen' as part of a 'military-grade coup' and that Trump has saved the world 'from the Satan Worshipping Deep State (DS) Global Elites.' The president's supporters encouraged the conspiracy in the replies, sharing side-by-side photos of Biden that they say are evidence he was replaced by a lookalike. One user shared a video that claimed 'Joe Biden's eyes changed from blue to black.' This is not the first conspiracy theory Trump has dabbled in, although it may be one of the weirdest. Trump has relentlessly — and falsely — claimed the 2020 election was 'rigged.' He alleged that former president Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. (and then falsely blamed Hillary Clinton for starting the birther controversy). And he has said the physical attack against Paul Pelosi, husband of former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, was staged. During the 2024 campaign, Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance repeated fabricated claims that Haitian immigrants were eating pets. These theories have all been proven untrue or have zero credible evidence to back their assertions. Members of Trump's administration have also pushed conspiracy theory lies into the mainstream. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has shared debunked claims, including that vaccines cause autism and that condensation emitted by airplanes is actually made up of harmful chemicals (a.k.a. chemtrails). These high-profile endorsements have arguably led to more people believing in them, including state legislators in Louisiana who recently voted to ban chemtrails. Trump's FBI Director Kash Patel has frequently endorsed the beliefs of QAnon, a specious conspiracy theory that alleges the U.S. government is run by a 'Deep State' pedophile ring of Satan worshipers.

Best Places: Your Guide to Explore Mecca's Spirituality, History, Cultural Charm
Located along the spotless shores of the Red Sea, where the crystal waters of the Arabian Peninsula meet sturdy mountains, Mecca holds a spiritual significance as the birthplace and heart of Islam. Mecca is not just a Saudi city; it is an extraordinary place where the Prophet Muhammad PBUH received the first divine revelations of the Noble Qur'an at the Cave of Hira. Whether you are a pilgrim embarking on a spiritual journey to perform pilgrimage or a curious adventurer possessing an insatiable thirst for exploration, Mecca is the perfect destination for unparalleled experiences and unforgettable memories. In this feature, Leaders MENA Magazine takes you in a special journey to show you fascinating glimpses into the city's hidden treasures. Masjid Al-Haram Location: Mecca, Saudi Arabia Major Attractions: The Kaaba and Zamzam Well Known as the Grand Mosque, Masjid Al-Haram represents the most sacred and iconic site in Islam. The mosque houses the Kaaba, the ancient stone structure which stands as a house and unifying focal point for monotheistic and Islamic worship. During pilgrimage, Muslims walk around the Kaaba seven times, known as the rite of Tawaf, to embody the idea that life should revolve around thoughtful contemplation of Allah and His Messenger. Being an architectural masterpiece, the Grand Mosque features awe-inspiring design and great capacity to accommodate millions of Muslims during Hajj and Umrah seasons. In order to show Muslim's collective devotion to Allah, Masjid Al-Haram serves as the direction (qibla) that Muslims face during their daily prayers. The Black Stone The Black Stone Location: Masjid Al-Haram, Mecca Entry Fee: free Nestled within the Grand Mosque, the Black Stone is simply a sacred stone where Tawaf starts and ends. Known as Hajar al-Aswad, this celestial stone captivates millions of pilgrims who seek to kiss or touch it during their Hajj pilgrimage. Its original color was white, but over decades it was transformed into a deep, dark hue. This transformation is believed to be caused by its absorption of the sins of those who touched it. In the light of this, it symbolizes the spiritual journey of purifying Muslim's soul and seeking forgiveness. Mina Mina Location: East of Mecca Timing: Accessible throughout the year Entry Fee: Free Located in the valley of Mina near the Grand Mosque, Mina becomes a vibrant place during pilgrimage seasons. During Hajj, pilgrims spend days and nights in tent cities in Mina to perform one of the most notable rituals in their spiritual journeys. There, Pilgrims throw pebbles at three large pillars embodying the temptations of Satan. This act commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim's resistance of Satan's temptation. Thanks to Saudi Arabia's efforts to ensure safety of pilgrims, the tents are air-conditioned and fully equipped with sanitation facilities, and an organized system of emergency services. Mount Arafat Mount Arafat Location: South of Mecca Entry fee: free Located about 20 kilometers in the vicinity of south and southeast of Mecca, Mount Arafat is where Prophet Muhammad delivered his Farewell Sermon, emphasizing the principles of unity and equality of the Muslim community. Known as Jabal Al Rahmah, the mountain holds extraordinary importance during Hajj journeys. On the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah, the Day of Arafat, pilgrims ascend to the hill of the mountain and make spiritual supplications and seek forgiveness and mercy from Allah, the Almighty. The Cave of Hira The Cave of Hira Location: Jabal al-Nour, Mecca Entry fee: Free Located on Jabal al-Nour, the Cave of Hira marks the beginning of the prophethood and the revelation of the Qur'an. It is where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received his first revelations from Allah through the angel Gabriel. The Prophet used to spend long time in the cave meditating, contemplating, and pondering over his relationship with Allah. During one of his nights at the mountain, Gabriel appeared before him and revealed the first verses of the Noble Qur'an. The Cave of Hira During pilgrimage, Muslims visit the Cave of Hira, not only to explore its historical significance but also to acquire a deeper understanding of the Prophet's spiritual journey and the story of revealing the Qur'an. Zamzam Well Zamzam Well Location: Masjid al-Haram, Mecca Entry Fee: free Located within the boundaries of Masjid Al-Haram in Mecca, the well of Zamzam is believed in Islam to have the purest water in the world. Discovered by Hajer, the second wife of Prophet Ibrahim, and her infant son, Prophet Ismail, the well of Zamzam is considered as a living miracle that has provided pilgrims with a continuous water supply for over 4000 years. According to the Islamic history, Hajer was looking for water to quench the thirst of her son. Therefore, she ran between the hills of Safa and Marwa. By the end of her seventh round, water miraculously sprouted from underground and kept flowing until Hajer said 'Zam Zam' which means stop flowing. Hence, drinking this miraculous water became recommended in Islam as Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, encouraged Muslims not to miss drinking Zamzam water during Hajj and Umrah. Makkah Museum Makkah Museum Location: Al Zahir, Mecca Ideal Trip Duration: 2 – 3 hours The Makkah Museum will take you in an exciting journey where you can enrich your knowledge on Mecca's rich history and Islamic culture.

The Satanic Grotto said charges not being pursued
Video aired on March 28. TOPEKA (KSNT) – The Satanic Grotto said that charges aren't being pursued after some of its members and its leader were arrested while attempting to hold a 'Black Mass' ceremony in the Kansas Statehouse. According to the social media post from The Satanic Grotto, its members were facing potential charges of disorderly conduct and unlawful gathering. The Satanic Grotto said all of its members who were arrested were released from their bonds. The state does have the ability to refile those charges for the next five years, however, our lawyers seem confident this isn't likely. More likely this is meant to be held over our heads and discourage us for more actions at the state capitol building. That said stay tuned for our next protest at the State Capitol building coming soon this one's going to be awesome. The Satanic Grotto wrote on Facebook Family cleaning up after car smashes into Topeka home On March 28, officers tackled Michael Stewart, president of the Satanic Grotto, to the floor inside the statehouse rotunda as he attempted to hold a Black Mass ceremony. He entered the building to hold the event after being warned by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly to move the ceremony to the outer grounds. An officer told Stewart as he entered the Kansas Statehouse that he was welcome to enter the building but could not hold an event or cause a disruption or he would be arrested. The other individual who was involved in the physical altercation with Stewart, a 21-year-old man, was also arrested in addition to a handful of other Satanic Grotto members. Prosecutors haven't filed charges against him at this time. Stewart had just started the Black Mass ceremony inside the Kansas Statehouse in the rotunda area when a counter-protester entered into a physical altercation with him. Officers could be seen taking Stewart to the floor as he shouted that he was not resisting. He was then led away from the area shouting, 'Hail Satan. I dedicate this building to Satan.' Wamego highway closure will result in nearly 30-mile detour for drivers Dozens of Catholics and Christians gathered at the Kansas Statehouse to protest the planned Black Mass. Both Kansas lawmakers and the Catholic Archdiocese of Kansas City condemned the Black Mass in the days leading up allegedly due to the anti-Catholic nature of the ceremony. My office has not made any charging decisions regarding these events. Once the investigation is completed, the findings will be submitted to my office for review. At that time, we will evaluate the evidence and determine whether criminal charges are appropriate. District Attorney Mike Kagay For more Capitol Bureau news, click here.

TC Lottery: Why It Is Haram in Islam and Destroys Lives
TC Lottery is a type of online or offline lottery that allows people to buy tickets in hopes of winning a large amount of money. Like many other gambling systems, it promises quick wealth and instant success. However, behind the colorful ads and big prizes, the truth is much darker. TC Lottery, and lotteries in general, are prohibited in Islam. They are considered Haram (forbidden) due to the many harms they cause to individuals, families, and society as a whole. In this article, we will explore why TC Lottery is Haram in Islam, how it creates greed, and how it has destroyed many lives around the world. Islam is a religion of peace, justice, and fairness. It teaches us to earn money in a clean, honest, and halal (permissible) way. Any form of gambling or chance-based income is clearly forbidden in Islam. Quranic Evidence Allah says in the Holy Quran: 'O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.' (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:90) This verse shows that gambling, including lotteries like TC Lottery, is the work of Shaytan (Satan) and must be avoided completely. 1. Creates Greed and Addiction People who start buying lottery tickets often get addicted. They start dreaming about becoming rich overnight. This dream blinds them and makes them spend more money, even if they are poor. Greed takes over their hearts, and they forget about hard work, patience, and trust in Allah. 2. Destroys Family Finances Many families have suffered because someone in the home started playing the lottery. Husbands, wives, even young adults waste their hard-earned money buying tickets. This causes financial stress, arguments, and sometimes even divorce. Instead of saving for the future, they gamble away their wealth hoping for a lucky win. 3. Leads to Poverty and Debt Most people never win in the lottery. The chances of winning are extremely low. But people continue to buy tickets, wasting their money again and again. Soon, they fall into debt, borrow money from others, and face poverty. What starts as a small hope becomes a financial disaster. 4. Encourages Laziness and False Hopes Islam encourages believers to work hard and earn a halal living. TC Lottery, on the other hand, teaches people to rely on luck and chance. This leads to laziness, a lack of productivity, and a false belief that money will solve all problems. In truth, barakah (blessing) only comes from halal earnings. 5. Causes Mental and Emotional Stress When someone keeps losing in the lottery, it leads to stress, anger, depression, and low self-esteem. They may feel like a failure and lose hope in life. Many people even think about suicide after losing everything in gambling. This is not what Islam wants for its followers. In many countries, including where TC Lottery is played, stories have emerged of men who lost their homes, cars, and families because of lottery addiction. One man sold his wife's jewelry to keep buying tickets. When he lost, his wife left him and took the children. A teenager started playing the lottery thinking he would win big. When he lost all his pocket money, he stole from his parents. Later, he borrowed from friends, and when he couldn't pay back, he got involved in online scams and criminal activity. Islam teaches us that true wealth comes from halal rizq (lawful provision). We should: Work hard Trust in Allah (Tawakkul) Avoid shortcuts like gambling and lottery Spend wisely Save and give charity The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'The best food a man eats is that which he has earned himself.' (Tirmidhi) 1. Seek Halal Income Sources Start a small business, learn a skill, do freelance work, or take up part-time jobs. These are all honorable and blessed ways to earn. 2. Make Du'a for Barakah Ask Allah for barakah in your earnings, health, and life. Wealth is not just about money—it's about blessings. 3. Avoid Bad Company Many people are introduced to lottery and gambling by their friends. Choose friends who encourage you to do good and stay away from haram. 4. Educate Yourself and Others Learn about the harms of lottery and teach others, especially youth, about why it's dangerous and haram. 5. Seek Help If You Are Addicted If you or someone you know is addicted to the lottery, don't be ashamed. Seek Islamic counseling, talk to family, and make sincere Tawbah (repentance). The biggest lie of TC Lottery is that it will make you rich and happy. But the truth is: Most people lose money Even winners often waste their wealth There is no barakah in haram income It destroys peace of mind and family ties Quick wealth through lottery is not a blessing—it's a test and a trap. Islamic scholars from all schools of thought agree that lottery is a form of gambling and is strictly Haram. Whether it's a state-sponsored lottery or a private game like TC Lottery, the ruling remains the same. Mufti Menk, a famous Islamic speaker, said: 'If your wealth comes from lottery or gambling, it is dirty wealth. You will never find peace or blessing in it.' TC Lottery may look attractive, but it hides great dangers. It is Haram in Islam, it destroys families, and it leads to greed, addiction, and misery. Instead of chasing luck, we should: Work honestly Avoid Haram income Trust in Allah Educate others Protect our families from this evil Remember, real success comes from Halal ways. Let us follow the path that leads to both worldly peace and eternal reward. No, TC Lottery is a form of gambling and is considered Haram in Islam. The Quran clearly forbids gambling in Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:90), calling it the work of Satan. Money earned from haram sources like the lottery cannot be purified by charity. It's not accepted in Islam. Make Tawbah (repentance), stop playing immediately, and avoid it in the future. Allah is Most Forgiving. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
