On January 26, 2025, one week after J6er Matthew Huttle received a full Presidential pardon, he was shot and killed by a Jasper County sheriff deputy in his home state of Indiana.  Huttle was released from the D.C. Gulag in July of 2024 after serving a six-month prison sentence. When Matt was released from the Gulag, he visited the “Eagles Nest,” and “Mama” Micki Witthoeft, the mother of slain J6er Ashli Babbitt who was shot and killed by police on January 6, before he returned back home to Indiana.  Matt was a carpenter who had worked on numerous construction projects, his current job was at Bridge Petroleum, and he was doing really well.  Fellow J6er Dan Leyden and Matt were cell mates in prison and became close friends.  Matt’s father, Don Huttle was glad to see the two had become friends as Dan was a good role model and friend to him.  Matt was in turn helping Dan get a job after he was released with a full Presidential pardon.

If now 42 year old Matt had a distrust of law enforcement prior to his incarceration for J6, in spite of or perhaps because of his own father, Don Huttle, being retired law enforcement, he most certainly did after his release from the Gulag.  Imagine the torture of being in the locked-up, put in solitary confinement, enduring anguish we never know, for a misdemeanor that happened because every J6er was intentionally set up as entrapment.  Couple that with Indiana saying they would throw him in jail for 30 years on a felony driving without a license.While relocating to another state other than Indiana would have been safer for him, considering earlier legal troubles and a revoked license in the state, Matt chose to stay in Indiana to be close to his family.  According to those who knew Matt, he vowed he would kill himself before ever again being forced back into prison.

The morning of his death, Matt had driven to visit his mother’s grave, who passed in April of 2023, and then over to his father’s house for a visit only to find his dad was asleep, so Matt left.  He was driving down the less traveled roads, going over the speed limit a little when he saw the squad car lights behind him, and he pulled over.

From what we have gathered, Matt immediately told the officer that he was a J6er who had recently been pardoned by President Trump and that his license was bad. We believe the deputy then called for a tow truck and asked Matthew to step out of his vehicle to be arrested. At first, state police had said there was a struggle or altercation, and this is where the story gets conflicted, and the bigger problem arises in consideration of the number of shots fired – 5 shots, and also the location of where the bullets landed, in Matt’s back.

David Sumrall spoke with Matt’s father, Don, a retired police officer himself, to gather more facts about the autopsy results:
5 shots total:

  • 1 shot to the back through the heart rupturing his aorta
  • 1 shot to the back of his neck which went into his brain
  • 1 shot to the back of his left shoulder
  • 1 shot to the left thumb which in other cases have proved to be a defensive wound
  • 1 shot fired from the sheriff’s gun missed Matt

We don’t know if there was a domestic terror alert for Matthew as a J6er.

When he was shot, somehow Matt was on his knees on the seat of the car. Matt died right there across the center console.

A 9mm pistol was found in the passenger floor board on a yellow bag, butt up.  No other information on the gun is currently available.

Toxicology report says no alcohol or drugs in Matt’s system, only caffeine and nicotine.

We do not believe the gun is visible in the body cam video. We believe Matthew could have been trying to commit suicide.

Could the cop see the gun?
Was it a suicide attempt?
Was Matt reaching for a gun?
Had Matt jumped back in the vehicle?
Why wasn’t less-than-lethal force used? What was the reasoning behind not using a taser?

At no time did Matt threaten the officer’s life, only his own. Now sadly, the sheriff deputy who shot Matthew has a wife and three kids. Nobody wins – PTSD Part of the bigger conversation we need to have about weaponized justice, and fix these problems for everyone.

Indiana State Police plan to release redacted versions of both the officer’s body cam and dash cam on the 26th of February 2025 (tomorrow).

According to sources, the police told the family’s attorney that they would have to get a court order to get the official police report.

The Huttle family lawyer will be meeting with the state police to view the unredacted version of the police body cam and the dash cam to try to determine whether or not the shooting of Matthew Huttle was justified.

Here is Matthew’s father’s quote: “You don’t kill a man who is threatening to kill himself.  These guys are trained these days to make a legal decision, not a moral decision.  The wrong decision will haunt you.
-Don Huttle

Don Huttle is a reasonable man.  He wants what any parent would want and need – answers and closure. And like every other J6er… Justice.

Radio Host Slightly Slows Down Audio Recording of Kamala Harris Reading Her Book and the Results Are HILARIOUS! (VIDEO)

Kamala Harris message to supporters after losing 2024 election

If you pay attention to politics at all, you know there is a running gag about Kamala Harris being a massive lush. Whether it is true or not, sometimes she just sounds drunk when she is talking.

At WPHT Radio in Philadelphia, one of the on-air hosts decided to see what it would sound like if he slowed down a recording of her reading her book by 30 percent and the results are comedy gold.

The clip has been making the rounds on various social media platforms.

The Daily Caller even reported on it:

On a much lighter note, however, on Tuesday, a talk radio show out of Philadelphia brilliantly played a snippet of Harris’ book, albeit slowed down. The result was hilarious, and it certainly sounded as if Harris were drunk. The way her words get draaaaaaaaawn out is usually a tell-tale sign of inebriation.

Back in July, Harris posted a TikTok in which she claimed she had not been slinging adult beverages during her absence from the public eye.

“Everyone thinks you’ve been kicking back, drinking margaritas on the beach, but really you’ve been hard at work writing a book, meeting with leaders, thinking about the future of our country,” Harris said, a reference to a dorky TikTok trend at that time in which participants turn their heads away from the camera, concealing their mouths while delivering audacious statements…

Of course, she probably wasn’t drunk during the recording; however, it wouldn’t shock me if she was. I also wouldn’t blame her. The ghostwritten book seems so bad that you almost have to be drunk reading it; otherwise, the experience would be akin to something like torture.

Listen below, this is really funny:

Maybe Kamala should consider leaving politics and going into entertainment.

“I’m Not Afraid” – A Defiant Jim Comey Speaks Out After Indictment, Lashes Out at Trump – Insists He is Innocent Like Every Other Crook in History

James Comey posted a video after he was indicted by a grand jury in Virginia on Thursday. Comey says he is innocent – just like every other crook in history.

A defiant James Comey lashed out in a video he published Thursday evening after the crooked former FBI Chief was indicted on two criminal charges.

The Department of Justice indicted James Comey on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice.

To his credit, James Comey refrained from posting another death threat to President Trump following his arrest.

Fired FBI Chief James Comey: My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way.

We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she’s right, but I’m not afraid, and I hope you’re not either.

I hope instead you are engaged, you are paying attention, and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does.

My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I’m innocent. So let’s have a trial and keep the faith.

WATCH COMEY:

Steve Bannon warned the former FBI Chief, “Comey won’t make it in prison. This is a death sentence.”

James Comey’s son-in-law, Troy Edwards, resigned from the US Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia after Comey was indicted.

Troy Edwards was a prosecutor on the Oath Keepers January 6 trial.

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia – false statements and obstruction of justice.

“Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two of three counts sought by prosecutors — one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice — just days after President Donald Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act “now” to bring prosecutions against Comey and other political foes, according to sources,” ABC News reported.
