The J6 Pipe Bomber Story Is About to Get Memory-Holed. Here’s Why

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/12/04/the-j6-pipe-bomber-story-is-about-to-get-memory-holed-heres-why-n4946724

The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday in connection with the J6 pipe bombing incident is a huge story. But make no mistake, this story is about to be memory-holed by the mainstream media… and fast.

Federal authorities arrested 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Virginia for allegedly planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on the night of January 5, 2021. For four years, Biden’s FBI failed to break the case while the pipe bombs were used as political ammunition against Trump supporters.

As PJ Media previously reported, Cole’s arrest did not result from new tips or a brave new witness suddenly emerging from the shadows; it was because the Trump administration reviewed the evidence and pieced it together—something that should have been done years ago.

“Today's arrest happened because the Trump Administration has made this case a priority. The total lack of movement on this case in our nation's capital undermined the public trust of our enforcement agencies,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday. “This cold case languished for four years until Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino came to the FBI. The FBI, along with US Attorney Pirro and all of our prosecutors, have worked tirelessly for months sifting through evidence that had been sitting at the FBI with the Biden Administration for four long years.”

But, here’s the big reason that this case will be memory-holed faster than you can say 1984: Brian Cole is black and a leftist.

These details go directly against the media’s preferred narrative for pretty much any political violence. They want to create the impression that white right-wing extremists are solely responsible for the violence in this country. In fact, CNN’s Jake Tapper even described Cole on air as a “30-year-old white man from the D.C. suburbs."

Unlike DUpipo predictions, this one is likely to prove true. Besides the obvious inconveniencing of the LIEden anti-MAGA narrative, the Dems and their MSM-shills will desperately want to avoid the question of why LIEden's FBI let the evidence they had pointing to Cole sit on a shelf (metaphorically) for nearly 4 years.

Jordan, other lawmakers were probing DOJ conduct when J6 prosecutors seized their phone records

House and Senate Republicans targeted by former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s subpoenas were gearing up for significant oversight of both the Justice Department and the FBI when their phone records were seized. 

This raises questions about whether the subpoenas served a dual purpose—to investigate Jan. 6, as Smith was appointed to do, and to keep tabs on the oversight probes into agency conduct, one former representative whose phone records were seized by Smith suggested.

“They were trying to spy on us to see what we were doing,” former Rep. Louie Gohmert told the John Solomon Reports podcast. “And also, I think they were looking for anything that they could use to come after us, or hold over our heads, because, you know, you can intimidate the people that are coming after you.”

The phone records were subpoenaed in April 2022. That time delay shows that the purpose clearly was not to investigate anything 1/6/21, but to figure out what Rs were learning about LIEden's 1/6-related shenanigans (e.g. the many FBI operatives who were present going full LIHOP).

New York Methodist Pastor Declares Himself Transgender: No More ‘Pretending to Be a Man’

A 51-year-old Methodist pastor in New York declared himself transgender before his congregation last week, saying he will give up “pretending to be a man.”  “So I get to announce with joy that I’m transitioning,” Phaneuf said. “I’m affirming to all of you that I am transgender. The best way to put this is that I’m not becoming a woman; I’m giving up pretending to be a man. This is a process, and it may be shocking for some as to what this all means.”

Phaneuf also declared himself asexual, meaning he has little to no sexual attraction to others.

At the same time, it's also unsurprising. The UMC, like the Episcopalian church and ELCA, has been running from the clear teachings of the Bible for several decades. What is sad to me is the many Christian believers in congregations of those denominations whose faith and contributions are being arrogantly trampled.

Appeals Court: Trump Can Remove Dems From 2 Federal Labor Boards

https://www.newsmax.com/us/appeals-court-trump-democrat/2025/12/05/id/1237213/

A U.S. appeals court on Friday said President Donald Trump had the power to fire Democrat members of two federal labor boards, a major victory in the Republican president's bid to rein in agencies meant to be independent from the White House.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in a 2-1 decision said federal laws allowing members of the National Labor Relations Board and Merit Systems Protection Board to be removed only for cause violated the U.S. Constitution.

The D.C. Circuit reversed separate rulings by two judges that had reinstated Cathy Harris to the merit board and Gwynne Wilcox to the NLRB. The Supreme Court in May temporarily paused the lower court rulings.

Sounds like the district court ruled against Trump, the USSC paused that ruling while it was under appeal, and now the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the law on which the district court issued its ruling. Will these Dem operatives appeal for an en banc hearing, and possibly to the USSC?

Alleged January 6 Pipe Bomber’s Family Are Democrat Donors.

https://thenationalpulse.com/2025/12/04/alleged-january-6-pipe-bombers-family-are-democrat-donors/

The family of January 6 pipe bombing suspect Brian Cole Jr. are donors to the Democratic Party, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records. An individual who is either Brian Cole Jr. himself or his father, Brian Cole Sr., contributed $3,000 to Vincent Dixie, a Democrat state Representative in Tennessee. ...

Business records associated with the Cole family’s address show Brian Cole Sr. runs an immigration bond company currently operating under the name Statewide Bonding Inc., though it appears there are prior iterations of the company under different names. In April 2025, Cole Sr. was barred from writing bonds in the Twenty-Sixth Judicial District of Tennessee after a state appeals court upheld a lower court ruling that Cole and an employee had been untruthful in their testimony to the court and failed to disclose prior bankruptcies.
...
Notably, from 2019 to 2021, Cole Sr. was party to a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleging that the department’s administration of immigration bonds, ..., violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and due process rights. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately threw out the lawsuit.

I wonder if planting the bomb at the DNC HQ was to smokescreen the actual target, RNC HQ.

Netanyahu Defies Mayor-Elect, Vows Return to New York

https://www.newsmax.com/us/benjamin-netanyahu-zohran-mamdani-new-york/2025/12/04/id/1237074/

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed threats from New York's democratic socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani this week, saying he fully intends to return to the Big Apple despite Mamdani's campaign-trail vow to have him arrested on alleged "war crimes" charges.

Speaking Wednesday via video to The New York Times' DealBook Summit at Lincoln Center, Netanyahu was asked directly whether he would travel to New York now that Mamdani has pledged to enforce an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against him over Israel's war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

"I'll come to New York," Netanyahu responded. "Yes, of course I will."

Much as the (very) mental picture of some Mamdani minion(s) getting their asses handed to them by IDF or Mossad and having to be rescued by the USSC or FBI, I doubt any NYPD officers are stupid enough to try.

Yup.  Grew up getting drug to a UMC church, so even though I wasn't paying much attention back then, there's still a bit of a soft spot for them.  Really saddens me to drive about DFW and see so many UMC and other churches with rainbow flags and other "inclusive" decor.

A high school Christian friend is the son of an American Lutheran Church (ALC, denomination) pastor who went to seminary and became a pastor in the ALC. In 1987 (IIRC) the ALC merged with the liberal Lutheran Church in America and formed the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The church my friend pastored decided as a congregation to leave ELCA. It's easy to tell things that happened, but my friend and his father had given decades of their life serving in the ALC, decades of love and loyalty. Members of their congregations had invested similar love and loyalty. No one's world or faith ended, but the betrayal by the denominational hurt a lot of people.
