However, Mitchell’s win wasn’t the biggest story of the night.
After his win, ‘Thug Nasty’ told his interviewer, “[Ige] is the hardest hitter I’ve ever fought. I didn’t expect him to be so fast and move so well. And his grappling defense is so good, too.” He continued, “I brought this Bible in here tonight because I do believe Satan has taken over this earth.” Mitchell’s interviewer looked visibly uncomfortable.
Mitchell continued, “Something specifically I am talking about, is these fires in Hawaii. I’ll be donating $5,000 to Dan Ige tonight to give to people in Hawaii because I know he lost friends, they lost their homes, they lost their children’s, and I love these people with all of my heart and we have to show Satan that he can do nothing through the power of Christ when we come together.”
The interviewer cut in, “Let me ask you about your eye… how much did [those cuts] impair your vision?”
With a smile on his face, Mitchell replied, “Ah, it’s a scratch, man, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Hey, also, too, these fires in Hawaii, I don’t believe that they were natural, I believe that they were manmade. They’re trying to take the land from the natives. And I want Dan Ige, a native Hawaiian, to lead this world in prayer against the power of Satan.”
Despite the interviewer cutting Mitchell’s interview short, both ‘Thug Nasty’ and ‘Dynamite’ knelt in the center of the octagon and prayed together. A truly monumental moment in the history of sports and in the post-COVID era of awakening. The revival is real.

Read more On Wednesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee in regard to the Justice Department’s handling of the federal cases against Hunter Biden and former President Donald Trump.
Journalist and former Fox News writer, Kyle Becker, shared a portion of the hearing on X—an exchange between Chairman Jim Jordan (OH-R) and Attorney General Merrick Garland. Jordan reads a quote from Garland in reference to the appointment of Special Counsel David Weiss, the U.S. Attorney originally appointed to U.S. Attorney of Delaware by then-President Trump in 2017, who began his post in 2018. Jordan reads:
“Mr. Weiss has full authority to bring cases in other jurisdictions if he feels it’s necessary.” That was your response, Attorney General, to Senator Grassley’s (IA-R) question on March 1, 2023, you just referenced It when Mr. Bishop was questioning you. Only problem is, he had already been turned down by the U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia, Mr. Graves. So [Weiss] didn’t have full authority, did he?”
Garland responded, “I had an extended conversation with Senator Grassley. We briefly touched on the section 515 question and how that process went. I’ve never been suggest—”
Jordan rebutted, “My point is real simple, Mr. Garland, you said he had complete authority but he had already been turned down. He wanted to bring in action to the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Attorney there said, “No you can’t.” And then you go and tell the U.S. Senate under oath that he has complete authority?”
“I’m going to say it again, no one had the authority to turn [Weiss] down, they could refuse to partner with him, they could not—”
“You can use whatever language, refusing to partner is turning down.”
The New York Times reported that, “Mr. Garland repeatedly refused to answer questions about internal deliberations or offer explanations for decision-making in the investigation, or the two federal indictments of former President Donald J. Trump.
House Republicans view Mr. Garland as a linchpin as they seek to bolster an impeachment inquiry into President Biden that is grounded [in accusations] that he profited from the business dealings of his son, Hunter. They have suggested Mr. Garland also might face impeachment, or contempt charges, for not fully answering their questions or providing access to documents and witnesses they have demanded.”
The hearing served as another stone to lay the groundwork for further investigations led by House Republicans into corruption of federal agencies and intelligence officers alike. Read more Several former intelligence officials who signed a letter suggesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was likely a “Russian information operation” are joining a federal “expert” board handling issues of national security, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Tuesday.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan and former CIA Operations Officer Paul Kolbe, who will now serve on the board, all signed an October 2020 letter casting doubt on the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop and suggesting its release was a Russian disinformation ploy. The group will advise DHS on intelligence and national security efforts regarding issues such as “terrorism, fentanyl, transborder issues, and emerging technology,” DHS announced.
The Hunter Biden laptop contents were authenticated by the Daily Caller News Foundation as well as The New York Times, Washington Post, CBS News and other media outlets. There is currently no evidence suggesting the laptop was a Russian disinformation operation.

Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. Epps is not charged with entering the Capitol; he is only known to have been on the grounds on Jan. 6. A virtual plea agreement hearing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 20 before Chief Judge James Boasberg.
The criminal information charges that Epps “did knowingly, and with intent to impede and disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business and official functions, engage in disorderly and disruptive conduct in and within such proximity to, a restricted building and grounds—that is, any posted, cordoned-off, and otherwise restricted area within the United States Capitol and its grounds, where the Vice President was and would be temporarily visiting—when and so that such conduct did in fact impede and disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business and official functions, and attempted and conspired to do so.”
It’s worth noting that Dominic Pezzola, a member of the Proud Boys who was sentenced to 10 years for his actions on Jan. 6, mentioned Epps’ name at trial.

The Texas Senate on Saturday acquitted Attorney General Ken Paxton of 16 articles of impeachment alleging corruption and bribery, his most artful escape in a career spent courting controversy and skirting consequences of scandal.
No article received more than 14 of the required 21 votes to convict. Only two of 19 Republican Senators, Bob Nichols of Jacksonville and Kelly Hancock of North Richland Hills, voted in favor of convicting for any article — a stark contrast to the more than 70% of House Republicans who impeached the attorney general in May.
Paxton, who attended just two days of the trial and was not present to witness his exoneration, was characteristically defiant.
“The sham impeachment coordinated by the Biden Administration with liberal House Speaker Dade Phelan and his kangaroo court has cost taxpayers millions of dollars, disrupted the work of the Office of Attorney General and left a dark and permanent stain on the Texas House,” Paxton said in a statement. “The weaponization of the impeachment process to settle political differences is not only wrong, it is immoral and corrupt.”
The dramatic votes capped a two-week trial where a parade of witnesses, including former senior officials under Paxton, testified that the attorney general had repeatedly abused his office by helping his friend, struggling Austin real estate investor Nate Paul, investigate and harass his enemies, delay foreclosure sales of his properties and obtain confidential records on the police investigating him. In return, House impeachment managers said Paul paid to renovate Paxton’s Austin home and helped him carry out and cover up an extramarital affair with a former Senate aide.
In the end, senators were unpersuaded.
“This should have never happened,” Sen. Bob Hall, R-Edgewood, told reporters outside the chamber. He criticized what he called a rushed and flawed investigation by the House.
But acquittal was not a foregone conclusion during the eight hours of deliberation, Sen. Royce West said. The Democrat from Dallas said some Republicans supported conviction but switched their votes when it became clear it did not have the required two-thirds support.
The not guilty verdicts immediately restored Paxton to office, lifting the automatic suspension triggered by the House vote in May to impeach him. The votes sealed the failure of a risky gambit by House Republicans who began in secret in the spring to investigate, and then purge, a leader of their own party.
And they came after sustained pressure on senators from grassroots groups, conservative activists and the leader of the state Republican Party who vowed retribution at the ballot box if Paxton was convicted.
Paxton’s wife, Sen. Angela Paxton, R-McKinney, was on hand to witness his acquittal. Required to attend but barred from deliberating and voting because of her relationship with the accused, she listened stone-faced during the trial as multiple witnesses testified about the attorney general’s infidelity, exposing as a lie his 2018 declaration to his wife and senior aides that the affair was permanently over.
After the acquittal, she hugged her husband’s lead lawyer, Tony Buzbee, and shook hands with the defense team.
The voting took more than an hour in the Senate chamber, which was mostly silent except for the chirping of crickets that have recently infested the Capitol. The House impeachment managers, with glum expressions, watched helplessly as each of the articles they had meticulously prepared were rejected — one by a 28-2 margin.
Rep. Jeff Leach of Plano, who risked his standing in the Republican Party by delivering an impassioned speech urging conviction on Friday, sat with his hands clasped in front of his face.
The Senate also voted 19-11 to dismiss the remaining four articles of impeachment that the chamber had agreed to set aside prior to the trial. Those articles dealt with Paxton’s long-running securities fraud case, which is expected to go to trial early next year.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, once his role as impartial judge was fulfilled, ripped into the House and its leadership for filing the case in the first place, which he said wasted millions of taxpayer dollars. He blasted the lower chamber for voting to impeach Paxton after only three days of consideration.
“With virtually no time for 150 members to study the articles, the Speaker and his team rammed through the first impeachment of a statewide official in over 100 years,” Patrick said.
Despite the victory, Paxton’s troubles are far from over. He faces trial on charges of securities fraud dating back to 2015.
More dangerous to Paxton is a federal investigation that began when the attorney general’s senior aides reported him to the FBI in 2020, alleging crimes that mirror the impeachment charges. That case has reached a grand jury in San Antonio. A new criminal indictment carries far higher stakes than impeachment. Campaigning to stay in office is one thing; fighting to remain out of prison is another entirely. Read more PANIC IN D.C. — Within the same 24-hour time frame of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden being charged with lying to the FBI on a background check form in order to purchase a firearm, Hunter’s legal team at Winston & Strawn LLP is allegedly suing Marco Polo founder and former Trump White House aide, Garrett Ziegler. While at the White House, Ziegler worked for Trump’s former trade advisor, Peter Navarro. It is worth noting that Navarro is currently on trial in Washington for defying a subpoena from the sham January 6 select committee. The targeting of Trump affiliates including Navarro, Ziegler, and War Room host Steve Bannon is widely seen as a continuation of the politically motivated “Witch Hunt” initiated during the Obama administration.
Hunter’s legal team is accusing Ziegler of illegally publishing private photos, emails and other materials that came from Hunter Biden’s hard drive.
The move comes just as House Republicans, led by Speaker Kevin McCarthy, officially launched an impeachment probe against Hunter’s father, President Joe Biden. Ziegler has published highly detailed and factual findings on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which heavily exposes the criminal activity of the Biden family syndicate. Ziegler and unidentified researchers at Marco Polo have meticulously combed through receipts, emails, and paper trails that highlight Hunter Biden’s business dealings with the Ukrainian energy firm, Burisma, and Kazakhstanian oligarchs, among other activities.
In 1997, a fictional movie called, Wag the Dog was released, which detailed how Hollywood producers and government “fixers” work hand-in-hand to cover up scandals and crimes by creating colossal distractions and diversions. The term “wag the dog” has been widely used in political arenas to describe the theorized intentions behind potential distraction events. Considering the due diligence of Marco Polo founder Garrett Ziegler, it is no coincidence where the dots connect regarding the timeline of Hunter Biden’s legal pursuits against his exposers.
A subject matter expert in the Biden crime family, Ziegler has proven himself as a force to be reckoned with, bolstering a new wave of sleuths across the world in the collective effort to uncover the truth that is often concealed from the public eye. As a result of Marco Polo’s work, in the last few years, a variety of journalists and writers have emerged in the space to call into question the network surrounding the questionably elected president, both on the social platforms Telegram and X, formerly know as Twitter. The Marco Polo includes links to a range of photos, text messages, emails and other documents derived from the laptop believed to be owned by Hunter Biden.
CBS News reported that, “The 13-page lawsuit from Winston & Strawn LLP alleges that Ziegler and others violated federal and California privacy laws by “accessing, tampering with, manipulating, altering, copying and damaging computer data” from Hunter Biden’s purported laptop and iPhone cloud storage without consent.
The lawsuit details how Ziegler and unnamed defendants allegedly obtained sensitive materials by hacking into encrypted data on Hunter Biden’s devices and uploading them to Ziegler’s website, where it remains public. In the lawsuit, Hunter Biden’s lawyers assert that the defendants had refused requests to “cease their unlawful activity” and return private data belonging to the president’s son.”
Garrett commented, “I nor the nonprofit, Marco Polo, have been served with a lawsuit — but the one I read [on Wednesday] out of the Central District of California should embarrass Winston & Strawn LLP. It’s not worth the paper it’s written on” Ziegler told CBS News in a statement. “Apart from the numerous state and federal laws and regulations which protect authors like me and the publishing that Marco Polo does, it’s not lost on us that Joe’s son filed this SLAPP one day after a so-called Impeachment Inquiry into his father was announced. The president’s son is a disgrace to our great nation.”
The reference to a SLAPP suit (a strategic lawsuit against public participation) alludes to a California law providing penalties for filing a lawsuit intended to chill the exercise of the rights to petition and free speech.”
It should come as no surprise that, in addition to Winston & Strawn LLP allegedly suing Garrett Ziegler, Hunter Biden’s legal team also sued John Paul Mac Isaac, the Delaware-based computer repairman who turned in the Hunter Biden laptop, for “invasion of privacy for allegedly accessing and distributing Biden’s private computer data in 2019. Attorneys for Biden also requested that the Justice Department investigate Isaac, Ziegler and others for allegedly violating Delaware laws by distributing data from Biden’s personal device.”
According to John Paul Mac Isaac, he obtained the information from Biden’s laptop legally because Biden allegedly dropped it off in April 2019 and never returned. Mac Isaac waited 90 days and then considered the laptop to be abandoned.
In the most recent alleged suit against Garrett Ziegler, Hunter Biden’s legal team is seeking a jury trial, damages, an injunction that would prevent access or tampering with Biden’s data and the return of any materials obtained unlawfully.
Yesterday, former Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake released the first episode of her eponymous show, wherein she interviewed Ziegler on the “Laptop from Hell.” Read more
