Peaceful J6er Will Watson Finds Solace in Prison After Surrendering to Jesus Christ – Will Walked in the US Capitol and Calling for Peace – Did Not Pull a Fire Alarm – PLEASE DONATE BELOW

Guest post by Condemned USA

Prior to January 6th, Will Watson was an aspiring chef, working as the Chef de Partie at Lucy’s, the most popular restaurant in Auburn, Alabama.

At only 23 years old, Will was moving up in the world and excited to see where life would take him.

Unfortunately, on March 9, 2023, his life took a drastic turn for the worse when he was convicted of “Obstruction of a federal proceeding” and “entering or remaining with a deadly or dangerous weapon” for peacefully protesting at the United States Capitol. The “Weapon” was a canister of mace, thrown to him by someone else in the crowd.

Will Watson DID NOT pull a fire alarm.  He DID NOT shut down a federal proceeding.  He called for a peaceful gathering!

On Saturday Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm inside the US Capitol and shut down Congress.  Does anyone think Jamaal will spend ONE DAY in prison for his actions?

Capitol Police even checked Will for weapons and allowed him to keep the canister that day. They assured him it wasn’t an issue.

But the issue was blown out of proportion in a politically biased D.C. Court.  Despite having no prior criminal history and guidelines suggesting a sentence of only 10-16 months at the most, Will was sentenced to three years in federal prison. 

Three years for entering the open doors on the US Capitol on January 6!

Will’s beautiful baby girl, Cattleya, was born prematurely on December 28, 2022. By the grace of God, she made it through that difficult trial with only a few health issues. While she still faces certain challenges, they are manageable, and she is overall healthy.

As a J6er, Will was forced to endure solitary confinement — a strain on both his mental and emotional help. Remarkably, he believes the experience was necessary to renew and strengthen his faith in God’s plan for his life. He says the trials and challenges that came as a result of January 6th pushed him to a breaking point — ultimately leading him to realize that there was no way for him to navigate this life alone.

Miraculously, Will fully surrendered to Christ. Although he admits it’s not easy to keep faith during such trying times, Will’s heart is now dedicated to trusting in God’s purpose.

Will looks forward to his release from prison and continues to dream — working on plans, menus, and recipes for a catering company he plans to open when he is free to pay $12,000 in fines. With God by his side, Will is determined to move forward and rebuild what he’s lost, pursue his dreams, and raise his daughter Cattleya with devoted love and attention.

Condemned USA is looking for 280 volunteers LIKE YOU to SPONSOR the Watson family at $25 a month to help his little girl and her medical care, as well as provide for Will’s legal needs.

Is ‘Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story’ on Lifetime Based on a True Story?

Lifetime’s fall movie lineup continues with another true crime tale, this time with an Amish twist. Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story sets a seedy story of infidelity and murder against the usually tranquil world of the Amish.

The movie stars Luke Macfarlane — who we just saw on Hallmark in Notes of Autumn — as the titular Amish stud. If you’ve been waiting for Macfarlane to stop playing lovable hunks and break bad, this is the movie for you.

The real question is, though, just how true to life is Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story? Who is Eli Weaver and was he really an “Amish stud”? And if Eli Weaver is real, then where is he now? Fortunately we have answers to all those questions.

Is Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story based on a true story?

Yes it is, although it’s not as recent a crime as the true story behind last week’s movie. The murder of Barbara Weaver — a 30-year-old married mother of five and devout member of an Amish community — took place on June 2, 2009. Barbara first met Eli Weaver circa 1999 when they were on their Rumspringa, a rite of passage for the Amish wherein they explore the outside world. While Barbara had a hard time with leaving her faith behind, Eli threw himself into them by partying and hooking up with women.

Following their Rumspringa, Eli and Barbara married and had five children together. Eli was still regularly cheating on Barbara with women from outside the Amish faith. Eli would meet women using a dating profile where he dubbed himself the “AMISH STUD,” and he ultimately fathered a child with one of these women. When questioned by police, multiple women said Eli talked about getting rid of his wife frequently during their affairs. Eli even left Barbara for a little while, resulting in him being shunned. He ultimately asked for forgiveness and returned to his wife and the community. Barbara’s sister later said that Barbara suspected Eli of having a new mistress just prior to her murder.

That mistress was likely Barb Raber, a 39-year-old married, Mennonite, mother of three who spent her time working as a driver for those in the neighboring Amish community. In the weeks leading up to Barbara’s murder, Eli and Raber spent a lot of time coming up with a murder plan via text message. A computer found in Raber’s home held 800 different searches for ways to murder someone, including “10 best ways to kill yourself” and “How much rat poison will kill a person?” The two considered everything from a poisoned cupcake to setting the house on fire with her in it. When Raber asked about the fate of Eli’s five children, Eli said they didn’t matter because if they died “they would go straight to Heaven.”

Raber first tried to murder Barbara a few weeks ahead of her murder, but she got scared and called it off. Eli convinced her to try again and psyched her up when she expressed doubt. To give himself an alibi, Eli went on a fishing trip with his friends while Raber snuck into the Weaver household and shot Barbara with a shotgun. Barbara’s children later alerted their neighbor, who called the police.

The police immediately suspected Eli, even though he had an alibi. To try to cover their tracks, Raber had a friend call and leave a voicemail saying, “Eli, you can run but you can’t hide. We’ll get you. Obviously we got the wrong person last night.” This did not convince the police. When they discovered Eli’s online dating activities, they also realized that Eli had to have a cell phone despite his Amish faith. The cops set up a sting with one of Eli’s ex-flings and got his cell phone number. They subpoenaed his phone records and discovered that the phone was in Barb Raber’s name, as well as all of the texts between Eli and Raber about how to murder his wife. Case closed.

If you want more of a true crime telling of this story, you can check out A&E’s City Confidential, episode 7×2.



Where are Eli Weaver and Barb Raber today?

Both are currently in prison. Eli Weaver testified against Raber, was convicted of complicity to murder, and was sentenced to 15 years to life. He will be eligible for parole next year, 2024, when he will be 44. Barb Raber was convicted of aggravated murder, and sentenced to life in prison. She will be eligible for parole in 2032. She will be 62.

What did the real Eli Weaver look like? Was Eli Weaver a real Amish stud?

It may seem like a weird question to ask, but it is valid. Not only is Eli Weaver’s attractiveness a crucial part of the true crime story, as it explains his sway over so many women as a self-proclaimed “Amish stud,” the movie cast the objectively attractive Luke Macfarlane in the role. So, what’s the deal?

MUST SEE: Rep. George Santos Releases “Fire Alarm Tutorial Video” and PROVES that Democrat Jamaal Bowman Is Lying About ‘Accidentally’ Setting Off Alarm!

Jamaal Bowman pulls fire alarm to shut down Congress. Capitol Police released the photo.

On Saturday New York Democrat Representative Jamaal Bowman pulled the fire alarm in the Cannon Building in Washington DC to shut down Congress.

Bowman pulled the alarm to prevent a critical vote to keep the government open.

Today there are hundreds of Trump supporters who walked inside the open doors of the US Capitol, shook hands with police, and were sentenced to months and years in federal prison for these innocent acts.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the Jan. 6 protests he did not even attend. Tarrio was not even in the District of Columbia at the time.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) immediately called on the Biden DOJ to prosecute Democrat Jamaal Bowman using the same law they used to prosecute J6 defendants who were charged with interfering with an official proceeding.

Rep. Bowman’s office later announced that Jamaal “did not realize he would trigger the building alarm” when he pulled the fire alarm.

This is FALSE. And Rep. George Santos proved it in his hilarious video he posted after the incident.

Rep. George Santos posted a PSA for all of the little boys and girls who were students at Cornerstone Academy on how to work a fire alarm.

Jamaal Bowman was once an educator before he became an unhinged Democrat politician who breaks laws.

Jamaal was founder of the Cornerstone Academy for children – apparently the kids are taught about social justice but not how to pull a fire alarm.

As George Santos points out in the video — It takes two hands to pull the fire alarm. It is not a simple act. You must know what you are doing.

Jamaal Bowman is lying. Throw him in the DC Gulag for two years and let him think about his criminal act!

GOP Rep Moves to Expel Jamaal Bowman After Speaker McCarthy Calls for Punishment Over Pulling Fire Alarm

A GOP Congresswoman put forth a motion to expel Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) after Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy called for Bowman to be punished for pulling a fire alarm in a House office building as Congress was preparing to vote on a continuing resolution to fund the government for forty-five days to avoid a shutdown at midnight.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) screams at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as she leaves a rally to support President Trump in New York City on the day he was arraigned on bogus local charges by Democrat prosecutor Alvin Bragg, April 4, 2023, screen image via MSNBC.

A spokeswoman for Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) offered a (lame) excuse for him being caught on camera pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building Saturday as the House was preparing to vote on a continuing resolution to fund the government.

Screen image from Capitol Police surveillance video shows Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building as the House was preparing to vote on a short term funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, September 30 2023.

Fox News’ Chad Pergram reported Bowman spokeswoman Emma Simon sent out this statement to reporters, “Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote. The Congressman regrets any confusion.”

Pergram later reported Bowman telling reporters, “I was just trying to get to my vote the door that’s usually open wasn’t open..I didn’t mean to cause confusion. I didn’t know it was going to trip the whole building. I thought it would help me open the door.”

Bowman is a former school principal and surely knows what happens when a fire alarm is pulled. From Bowman’s House website (bold added): “In 2009, he went on to found Cornerstone Academy for Social Action (CASA), a Bronx middle school focused on unlocking the natural brilliance of all children through a holistic curriculum, where he served as principal for a decade.”

McCarthy spoke about Bowman while addressing reporters after the House passed the continuing resolution (NBC News excerpt):

“When you think about how other people were treated when they come in and wanted to change the course of what was happening in the building,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy went on to say that the Ethics Committee should take the pulled fire alarm “seriously.”

“This should not go without punishment,” McCarthy said. “I’m gonna have a discussion with the Democratic leader about it. But this should not go without punishment. This is an embarrassment.”

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) released a resolution to expel Bowman:

Source:

Malliotakis posted, “This is the United States Congress, not a New York City high school. This action warrants expulsion & I’m introducing a resolution to do just that.”

Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) is working on a censure resolution reported the Washington Examiner’s Reese Gorman, “News: @RepLisaMcClain has drafted a motion to censure Rep. Bowman for pulling the fire alarm and it has been sent to Leg Counsel. Collins, Franklin, Mace, Maliotakis, Carol Miller, and Bergman have joined as cosponsors, per McClain’s office.”

McClain also posted, “This is a felony, plain and simple. USCP had to waste resources investigating rather than actually keeping the Capitol safe. The House must hold Rep. Bowman accountable. Now.”

Other Republicans supporting Bowman’s expulsion:

Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA):

Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), “Today, we would’ve been working from our office in Cannon, helping constituents before a potential government shuts down, BUT Congressman Jamal Bowman pulled the fire alarm to delay the CR. EXPEL THE CONGRESSMAN!”

Committee on House Administration Chairman Brian Steil (R-WI) posted a statement that the incident was under investigation, “Rep Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm in Cannon this morning. An investigation into why it was pulled is underway. – Chairman Bryan Steil”

WATCH: Lara Trump Joins TGP Recap on Blessed News Network to Discuss Censorship of Her NEW SONG, Attacks on President Trump, and Joe Biden Impeachment Inquiry

Lara Trump joined The Gateway Pundit Recap with Jordan Conradson and Alicia Powe on Friday night to discuss the censorship of her first-ever studio single and the persecution of her father-in-law, President Trump, by the Biden Regime.

The Gateway Pundit Recap, now hosted by Conradson and Powe, airs on Blessed News Network on weeknights at 6 pm ET.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday that the debut song from Lara Trump and First Class Records did exceedingly well on its first day of release despite censorship from Apple and Spotify. You can listen to the full song here:

In addition to censorship from music streaming platforms, a billboard advertiser in Times Square removed Lara’s name and her song’s title from what was supposed to be an ad for millions to see. The Gateway Pundit reported on this debacle and an exclusive interview where Lara hinted at legal action over this discrimination.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “Probably if My Last Name was Biden, I Could Assume They’d Put it Up There” – NYC Billboard Company Edits Lara Trump’s Name and Song Title Out of Times Square Advertisement, Trump Suggests Possible Legal Action

Instead of the image below, the billboard only showed a photo of Lara Trump on a horse. It’s somewhat funny that they think that would acceptable.

When asked on our show if she had spoken to any attorneys and she is still considering action against the company, Lara said she spoke to “several attorneys.”

Lara said, “This was paid for about a week ago. The contract was signed about a week ago. They knew that it was a country song. They knew the artist was Lara Trump. That’s me. They knew this from the beginning. And then, we were about two and a half hours away from the billboard actually going up in Times Square on a digital billboard; all of a sudden, the music producer got a call, and they were like, ‘Hmm, you know, we have a little bit of a problem. We decided we’re not going to put the name Trump up there. So, are we good to just put Lara up there?’”

“They can rest assured we will be receiving our money back, or yes, they will be hearing from some attorneys.”

Lara Trump also discussed Joe Biden’s impeachment and the political persecution against Trump and Trump supporters.

Watch the full interview below:

Conradson: You previously told me that I Won’t Back Down kind of represents President Trump in the fact that despite the failed indictments, I mean, you go back all the way since 2016… The two impeachments, every everything they’ve thrown against him, and you, part of his family, the Trump family. You guys aren’t backing down. Can you speak more on that, and just the persecution of President Trump not just by the radical left but also by the Justice Department?

Trump: I think any other person would have given up a long time ago. I mean, you remember from day one, right after he delivered that speech and announced I’m running for President of the United States, it was pretty immediate that they started attacking him, and I think most people, when they were called the names that he was called when the suggestions of who he was and what he stood for was put out there, most people would have said, “that’s enough. I’m done!” But not him. Of course, he soldiered on, he moved forward, and he became the President of the United States in a really historic, unprecedented way. Obviously, all the polling showed Hillary Clinton was gonna win that election. Donald Trump really had the backing of the American people, and he changed the party. He changed the Republican Party in many different ways. He brought a lot of people into this party who felt like the Democrats had left them behind. A lot of people I heard constantly, “I didn’t leave that party. They left me.” That was in 2016. And then you fast forward to 2020, and obviously, you talked about the impeachment of my father-in-law. Absolutely insane, ridiculous, baseless garbage, of course, we all know that those were. And if you look back, especially to the first one, the call to Ukraine, man, would we have found out a lot of information we are now finding out about the Biden family and what was going on with them receiving money from Ukraine, tit for tat, what kind of a situation that was, and how dangerous to our national security that ultimately was.

Interesting, they got very upset about that phone call in Washington, DC Establishment. Hmm. I wonder why. And then obviously, you talked about the justice system being weaponized against him. It wasn’t enough that they had to impeach him twice. It wasn’t enough that there was a relentless pursuit of one man by the folks on the left, by the legacy media, by the establishment in Washington DC. The mere thought of a Donald Trump presidency, one more term for Donald Trump in DC in that White House, was too much, I think, for the swamp to handle. And so now you see what has happened. You see that there has been a weaponization that is so unprecedented, and in the worst kind of way against him. The fact that Joe Biden has his department of justice trying to throw his number one political opponent in jail is so Communist, so authoritarian, in nature. All of what we have seen happen would have broken any other person just one of these situations and yet he is not backing down. He is not stopping He is not giving up. He will continue on, and I believe that it is waking people up every single day that they see these attacks against my father in law, and I believe that that will ultimately result in him becoming the 47th President of the United States.

Conradson: The Democrats in the impeachment hearing tried to argue that, oh, the President is just “guilty of loving his son too much.” President Trump, does he love you guys?

Trump: Yes, he does. He loves us very much.

Conradson: Would he do anything that is relatable to what Joe Biden did for and with Hunter Biden? Of course, Joe Biden was involved in all these criminal acts around the world.

Trump: No. I mean, we’ve got the receipts, we’ve got the emails, we’ve got the phone calls, we’ve got the photographs, we have the schedule, we know exactly what happened with Joe and Hunter Biden. And yeah, my father-in-law loves all of us very much in our family. But no, we did not ever have a situation like this. In fact, we went so far in the opposite direction on our end. Don’t forget for so long, the Trump Organization existed as an actual company. This was a business before my father-in-law became President of the United States. So, we were in international business before he became a politician. And isn’t it interesting that it’s the reciprocal of that whenever you look at most of these politicians, especially the Biden family. Somehow, they got into international “business”—and I’ll put that in air quotes—right after Joe Biden became part of the government system here in the United States; really interesting to see. But we went out of our way to stop any new international business deals while my father-in-law was President. As soon as he got elected, when he became President-elect, he said no new overseas business deals will be happening while he’s in office. And then we did something that never gets any credit, and let me tell you, it took a lot of work to do it. Anytime there was a foreign entity who stayed at a Trump property, who dined at a Trump property, who even bought a glass of wine at a Trump property, we gave that money back to the United States Treasury because we didn’t even want the faintest hint of impropriety. We didn’t want there to be any question about what was going on with us. He was there, my father-in-law, as President for every person in this country, to do the best job possible, not to line the pockets of our family. Don’t forget he never took a salary. He donated his salary as President every single quarter. He’s probably the only president to leave the White House with less money than he went into the White House. Not anyone else, I don’t believe, can say that, and it’s really amazing. It didn’t have anything to do, by the way, with how much he loves us because he loves us all a great deal, I can assure you.

Conradson: Despite this and the clear suppression from Apple Music and Spotify, your song is doing good. I think it’s #27 on Apple Music in all genres. What does that tell you? Is it indicative that people want America First music here in this country, and they’re tired of this woke Hollywood crap?

Trump: I mean, I would say so, yeah. First of all, I’m flattered. I’m honored. Again, beyond my wildest dreams. I appreciate it. I think people are sick of the nonsense. People are so sick of the woke garbage. They want things that make them happy and feel good. They want a song that speaks to how they’re feeling right now, and honestly, that’s part of this song. I think that I Won’t Back Down can represent a lot of different things for a lot of different people, but for a heck of a lot of folks in this country right now, they are feeling the pressure. They are feeling like they can’t make ends meet. They’re feeling like there’s no end in sight. They’re feeling like they need someone to come back in and change things around. And they’re feeling like the system, by and large, wants them to just lay down and take it and say that’s it, but they’re not going to back down. You can stand them up at the gates of hell; they’re going to continue fighting for this country. And so I think that it can be very representative for the time we’re in right now, for whatever challenges people might be facing. But yes, I think it says people want more good music, TV, content, movies, all of it. Let’s go down that path. I would like to see that happen.
