New Jersey Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver has been charged with assault and impeding law enforcement for her actions during a protest outside a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Newark, New Jersey earlier this month.
During the protest McIver could be seen screaming at and pushing federal agents, saying “I touch whoever I want motherf****r… You will pay!”
Holy shit Rep McIver is an unhinged psychopath. Undercover ICE body cam shows her screeching at federal agents, & physically assaulting them.
“I touch whoever I want MF!… You will pay!”Then goes on TV and plays victim, like a typical dem.

The incident also resulted in the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was charged with trespassing – a charge which was later dropped, according to US Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba.

McIver was given ample opportunity to come to a peaceful resolution and avoid criminal charges, Habba said, but the congresswoman reportedly declined, Just the News reports. “No one is above the law — politicians or otherwise,” said Habba. “It is the job of this office to uphold justice impartially, regardless of who you are.”
Footage of the protest showed the three lawmakers engaged in a “scuffle” with law enforcement, according to the New Jersey Globe, including McIver who appeared to try to protect Baraka during his arrest.
McIver has denied any wrongdoing and blasted the charges as a partisan attack.
“The charges against me are purely political,” according to a statement by McIver. “They mischaracterize and distort my actions, and are meant to criminalize and deter legislative oversight.”

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
