March 1, 2026 – How many children questioning their gender are on psychiatric drug “treatments?”

AbleChild can’t help but wonder why transgender individuals commit a disproportionate share of mass shooting attacks, and whether these attacks have anything to do with being prescribed mind-altering psychiatric drugs along with drugs associated with the transition process.

According to a recent study conducted by the Crime Prevention and Research Center (CPRC) between 2018 and 2024 attacks by transgender shooters was “at least 12 times their share of the population” in 2024.  Regardless of how the data is interpreted, the report makes it clear that transgender individuals commit these attacks at disproportionately high rates.

CPRC reports that “using only the FBI data over the entire period (2018-2024), transgender individuals commit active shooting attacks at 3.4 times their share of the population…” And the CPRC concludes that regardless of how the data is measured, “active shooting attacks committed by transgender individuals is becoming a serious problem.” Why? What is happening within the statistically small transgender community that is causing them to account for such a large portion of the deadly attacks?

The Uniformed Services University (USU) conducted a study in 2021 that asked whether transgender and gender-divers (TGD) adolescents experience increased mental health risk compared to non-transgender peers. The study concluded that TGD adolescents “were more likely to have a mental health diagnosis, use more mental healthcare services, and be prescribed more psychotropic medications compared to siblings.” The study also found that “among the 963 TGD youth using gender-affirming pharmaceuticals, mental healthcare did not significantly change, and psychotropic medications increased following gender-affirming pharmaceutical initiation.”

Given the lack of peer-reviewed articles about the violence that is being reported within the transgender community, it seems important to ask detailed questions that may help the public understand the increased violence. For example, one might want to know how many children were diagnosed with an alleged mental disorder and prescribed psychiatric drug “treatments” prior to ever questioning their birth gender.

Other questions might include, how many children questioning their birth gender are on psychiatric drug “treatments” when they make transition inquiries. And, one might also want to know, once the transition begins, how many of these children remain on the psychiatric drug “treatments,” while at the same time adding transition therapy drugs to their current drug cocktail.

These are important questions and would not only benefit those going through a gender crisis and who may be experiencing violent thoughts, but it would benefit the public to understand why there is an increase in transgender mass shootings.

There are too many transgender murders to list them all, but the public will remember Audrey Hale who killed six at The Covenant School in Nashville, TN, Robin Westman killed two and injured 17 at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN, Robert Dorgan killed three at a skating rink in Pawtucket, RI and Jesse Van Rootselaar who killed eight in Tumbler Ridge BC. It is also a fact that all the above had long histories of mental health care and were being “treated” with psychotropic drugs.

Here’s the question. It must be asked. Is it possible that the mind-altering drugs that are being prescribed can cause people to believe they are a different gender? Furthermore, is it possible that these people, already on a cocktail of mind-altering drugs for a host of alleged mental disorders, are experiencing drug induced violent behavior? Afterall, the known possible side effects of psychiatric drugs alone could make one become violent. Then, add the transition therapies and suddenly there’s a problem.

March 2, 2026 – The Final Reckoning: Dismantling the Democrat Axis of Weakness and Evil

The Final Reckoning: Dismantling the Democrat Axis of Weakness and Evil

The current kinetic reality in the Middle East is the long-overdue correction for decades of Democrat-led betrayal. While the left wing of our political class spent years engaging in a fetish for de-escalation, they effectively subsidized the most prolific state sponsor of terrorism on the planet. The strikes currently raining down upon Tehran are not mere tactical maneuvers; they are the righteous dismantling of a theocratic monster that was hand-fed by the Obama and Biden administrations. For decades, the Democrat party has operated as the unofficial legal and financial counsel for the Iranian regime, shipping pallets of cash to a government that begins its day by chanting for the destruction of our Republic.

The blood on Iranian hands is, by extension, on the hands of every leftist bureaucrat who advocated for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Under the Biden administration alone, Iran’s oil exports surged from approximately 400,000 barrels per day in 2020 to over 1.5 million barrels per day by 2024. This resulted in an estimated $100 billion in additional revenue for a regime that uses every cent to fund the slaughter of Americans and Israelis. This was not a mistake; it was a deliberate act of economic enabling. The Democrats are a collection of high-functioning subversives who prefer the stability of a radical caliphate to the dominance of American interests. They watched as Iran enriched uranium to 60% purity, a stone’s throw from the 90% required for a nuclear warhead, and responded with polite memos and sanctions waivers.

Avenging the Fallen and Securing the Ally
We are finally holding the mullahs accountable for a 1,400-year history of jihad and a 40-year history of American casualties. From the 241 heroes lost in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing to the over 600 American soldiers killed by Iranian-backed IEDs in Iraq, the bill has come due. The left views these sacrifices as “sunk costs” in their pursuit of a globalist utopia, but real patriots understand that deterrence is bought with the credible threat of annihilation. By standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel, our frontline defender, we are preserving the only beacon of civilization in a region of shadows. Israel absorbs the rockets of Hamas and Hezbollah so that we do not have to fight them on our own streets, yet the American left treats our greatest ally like a pariah. They are more concerned with the feelings of radical insurgents than the safety of the Jewish state.

This operation is the ultimate exercise in smart power projection. Iran has become the primary hangar for Russia’s drone program and the gas station for China’s industrial machine. By vaporizing their missile factories and neutralizing their navy, we are simultaneously crippling Putin’s logistics in Ukraine and Xi’s energy security. The Democrats, in their infinite cowardice, feared that “provoking” Iran would lead to a wider war. In reality, their weakness invited it. Strength is the only language understood by the mullahs, the Kremlin, and the CCP. When the United States strikes Tehran, the world learns that the era of managed decline is over.

Furthermore, we are doing for the Iranian people what the “human rights” obsessed left never had the courage to do. The mullahs are a parasitic elite that murders women for improper dress and hangs dissidents from cranes. The left, which claims to champion women’s rights at home, remains conspicuously silent when those same rights are crushed by Islamist thugs abroad. By destroying the regime’s military infrastructure, we are providing the brave Iranian resistance with the oxygen they need to topple their oppressors. This is the Middle East edition of tearing down the Berlin Wall, a moment of moral clarity that the morally bankrupt Democrat party simply cannot comprehend.

Securing the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s petroleum flows, is an act of economic survival for the American worker. We will no longer allow radical clerics to hold our gas prices and our jobs hostage. While the left tries to force us into a future of unreliable “green” energy and dependency on Chinese batteries, we are securing the fossil fuels that keep the West alive. This is the conservative mandate: protect the border, protect the ally, and destroy the enemy. The Democrat party has proven it is incapable of all three. They are a party of surrender, a coalition of the weak and the wicked who have spent their lives trying to apologize for American greatness. That apology tour has ended in fire and steel.

March 3, 2026 – A new lawfare nonprofit, the Washington Litigation Group, founded by Jack Smith’s partner in crime James Pearce, is created to get Trump

James Pearce (Credit: LinkedIn)

Mike Feinberg left the FBI after his ties to Peter Strzok were discovered, following Kash Patel’s appointment as director.

On Comey leaker Ben Wittes’ podcast, Mike discussed how several of his close friends at the FBI were recently fired for their roles in Jack Smith’s election interference cases.

They also discussed how several large law firms are avoiding pro bono work. Two firms that are stepping up are Jenner & Block (where Andrew Weissmann helped lead the sham J6 Committee “investigations”) and Covington & Burling (a prominent member of the lawfare wing of Democracy Inc.).

They mentioned that a new lawfare nonprofit, the Washington Litigation Group, was created to take on the Trump administration. It was founded by Jack Smith’s partner in crime, James Pearce.

Peter Strzok’s best friend, Mike Feinberg, says people are leaving the FBI because they are being asked to do illegal and immoral things. He also said that some FBI agent quit because the FBI aren’t the good guys anymore.

To put this in context, think of all of the crimes that the FBI has committed since 2016 (including by Peter Strzok) and what they did to the J6ers.

March 4, 2026 – Democrat tells Angel Families: Sorry for your loss, but Americans are more violent than illegal aliens

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told Angel Families who were present in the audience that he was “sorry,” but that Americans are more likely to be murdered by fellow Americans than illegal aliens.

“For the folks that are here and your families, I’m sorry. It’s terrible what happened to your children and family members, but they are more likely, American citizens are more likely to be attacked by United States citizens who are not undocumented who came here and who were born here,” Cohen told Angel Families. “[Americans] are more likely to commit these crimes.”

Several Angel Families, whose loved ones have been murdered by illegal aliens, sat behind Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Kristi Noem as she faced the committee.

Following Cohen’s comments, officials at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) responded, calling the statement “reprehensible.”

“Rep. Cohen pointing to Angel Families in the audience: ‘I’m sorry for what happened to your loved ones, BUT…’ There is no ‘but,’ Rep. Cohen. Your comments here are reprehensible,” ICE officials wrote on X.

March 4, 2026 – Trump’s attack on Iran will also neuter the NGO-Administrative Complex that backs the “rules-based liberal international order”

Must read article by @DataRepublican!

The most accurate and concise explanation I’ve seen on the Iran conflict and the NGO complex. This part left me speechless:

“This is why the establishment’s condemnation of the Iran strikes is so disproportionate to the event. They are not mourning Khamenei. They are recognizing, with alarm, what Trump is actually doing. The regime change Trump is attempting is not Iran’s. It is theirs.

Every act that reasserts American sovereignty—on Iran, on trade, on immigration, on energy—is an act of regime change against the supranational order that has governed American life, foreign and domestic, for at least 70 years. The strikes on Khamenei’s compound are a demonstration that a sovereign nation, acting in its own interest, does not need institutional permission. The Trump Administration just showed that the veto the multilateral order spent decades embedding into American foreign policy—through think tanks, through NGOs, through carefully managed BRICS adversaries—can simply be ignored.

This is how the NGO-Administrative Complex dies. One sovereign act at a time.”

March 4, 2026 – Tim Walz and Keith Ellison testify to House Oversight Committee on welfare fraud in Minnesota

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will testify today in a House Oversight Committee hearing on the massive amount of welfare fraud in the state.

The hearing, entitled “Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part II,” will allow lawmakers to examine Walz and Ellison’s role in covering up the billions of dollars in fraud involving federal funds in their state.

“As fraudsters looted billions of taxpayer dollars from Minnesota’s social programs, state lawmakers recently testified that Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison ignored repeated warnings and retaliated against state employees who raised concerns. The American people deserve clear answers about how such widespread fraud was allowed to flourish under their watch,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a statement.

“While the Department of Justice continues to investigate, prosecute, and charge those responsible, Congress also has a duty to conduct rigorous oversight of this heist and enact stronger safeguards to prevent fraud in taxpayer-funded social programs. We look forward to questioning Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison under oath to ensure transparency and accountability for the American people and to consider meaningful reforms that prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funds.”

The billions of dollars stolen in Somali fraud schemes involving Minnesota daycare centers received national attention from investigating journalist Nick Shirley’s exposé late last year. It was also recently revealed that Somali fraudsters have transported nearly $1 billion in bulk cash through the Minneapolis airport alone to Somalia since 2024.

Trump has accused the Somali community in Minnesota of pillaging “an estimated $19 billion from the American taxpayer.”

“We have all the information, and in actuality, the number is much higher than that,” Trump said during his State of the Union Address.

March 5, 2026 – Congress votes to bury their own sexual harassment files and the slush fund used to payoff their victims

March 6, 2026 – Virginia Democrats will require their public schools to teach Jan. 6th as an “insurrection”

Virginia Democrats are moving to require teachers to tell students that Jan. 6th was an “insurrection” and effectively bar them from referencing “peaceful protests” or election irregularities. The characterization of the riot as an insurrection is historically and legally false. However, any parents who want to send their children to Virginia public schools would have to accept this form of indoctrination as part of their children’s education.

In the last election, Democrats campaigned as moderates, including Abigail Spanberger. Once in control of the Governor’s mansion and the legislature, however, they have moved quickly to the far left in a flurry of measures. Democratic legislators just voted themselves almost a 300% increase in salaries.  They will need it. They are moving to increase taxes on ride shares, concerts, counseling, leaf blowers, Amazon deliveries, DoorDash, Uber Eats, ammunition, and other areas.

However, HB 333, drafted by Del. Dan I. Helmer of Fairfax, raises serious concerns over academic freedom and free speech.

The summary of the bill mandates “a program of instruction on or relating to the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol” and further:

“prohibits any such program of instruction, any accompanying curriculum or instructional materials, or any instruction provided by a teacher as a part of such program of instruction from (i) describing, portraying, or presenting as credible a description or portrayal of the actions precipitating or involved in the January 6, 2021, insurrection as peaceful protest or (ii) stating, suggesting, or presenting as credible a statement or suggestion that there was extensive election fraud that could have changed or actually changed the results of the 2020 presidential election. The bill requires any such program of instruction, any accompanying curriculum or instructional materials, or any instruction provided by a teacher as a part of such program of instruction to describe the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol as an unprecedented, violent attack on U.S. democratic institutions, infrastructure, and representatives for the purpose of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election.”

Soon after Jan. 6th, I condemned the riot but rejected the argument that this was an insurrection. However, it soon became part of an orthodoxy in politics and academia despite the fact that the public rejected it. As former House Speaker Pelosi declared, “It is essential that we preserve the narrative of January 6th.”

Yet, “insurrection” and “sedition” are legal terms. They have a meaning. The FBI investigated thousands after January 6th and charged hundreds. Not one was charged with insurrection or conspiracy to overthrow the country. The vast majority are charged with relatively minor offenses of trespass or unlawful entry or property damage- the type of charges that are common in protests and riots.

Indeed, the Supreme Court effectively reduced many of the charges to mere trespass in later litigation, rejecting obstruction claims.

Faced with a collapsing historical and legal narrative, Democrats are now moving to simply indoctrinate students that this was an “insurrection.” (Johnathan Turley, 3/6/2026)

March 6, 2026 – Matt Taibbi: The FBI’s Secret Stash Finally Uncovered

For a generation, the FBI has kept a second set of books called ‘prohibited access’ files. After a long fight, they’re finally being examined.

A Federal Bureau of Investigation task force has begun excavating the separate set of books FBI keeps using an inaccessible “prohibited access” file designation, according to multiple government sources. Though an internal fight over how to handle the files continues, embattled FBI Director Kash Patel has assigned personnel to examine decades of hidden history, Racket News has learned, with some files already turned over to Congress.

“This is it — the deep state,” one of the sources said.

Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, whose work with whistleblowers and pressure across years was key to prying prohibited access files loose, expressed cautious optimism.

“If it weren’t for whistleblower disclosures to my office, the very existence of the FBI using ‘Prohibited Access’ files for some investigations would have remained in the dark,” he said. “I’ve asked Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel to turn over certain Prohibited Access records to Congress. I’ve received some, but am still waiting on others. I urge the DOJ and FBI to keep digging – which previous administrations apparently didn’t make any effort to do – so that the facts can come to light. The FBI’s secret stash of records is scandalous.”

Files given a prohibited access designation are not merely secret. They are “ghosts” which “do not exist,” records rigged to return false negatives when searched for in the FBI’s SENTINEL system. They’re digital descendants of paper records that as far back as Richard Nixon’s presidency were kept in locked offices, accessible to just a few officials, typically at the deputy director level and above. Currently, the number of people with the ability to access the files can be counted on one hand.

The implications of the nation’s chief federal law enforcement and counter-intelligence organization having kept a separate, non-searchable filing system are mind-boggling.

“It’s not like turning over a rock and finding a few bugs,” said retired FBI Supervisory Analyst George Hill. “It’s like turning over a manhole and finding a whole city.”

“You don’t run a Constitutional republic on secret files,” added legal analyst Margot Cleveland.

A current government source said the prohibited access designation is “literally designed to hide files from Congress and from the FBI itself. It’s really frigging bad.”

Off-books surveillance and “disruption” of political figures in the Arctic Frost and Trump-Russia investigations comprise part of the find, but the files extend at least as far back as 1999, across Democratic and Republican Party presidencies, involving as many as a thousand distinct case numbers. There are no rules for passing access to the system from one administration to the next. Instead, operation of prohibited access files is described as an oral tradition passed down among senior FBI officials, independent of agents below and political appointees above in Congress and even the White House.

Here’s how the files came to light: (Read more: Matt Taibbi/Racket News, 3/6/2026)  (Archive)

March 7-8, 2026 – IEDs are thrown at NYC protest near Gracie Mansion, two teens arrested; FBI raids suspects family homes in PA, linked to foreign radical networks

Federal authorities launched court-ordered raids in Pennsylvania after a violent protest in New York City escalated into a potential terror incident involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

This comes just one day after two teenage Muslim extremists hurled improvised explosive devices (IEDs) during a protest outside the mayor’s residence at Gracie Mansion in Manhattan.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the chaos unfolded on Saturday when 18-year-old Amir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Nick, allegedly launched homemade bombs during an anti-Islam protest organized by former January 6 political prisoner Jake Lang, who was pardoned by President Trump last year.

According to the New York Post, authorities said the homemade device was constructed using sports drink bottles packed with triacetone triperoxide (TATP)—a highly unstable explosive widely favored by terrorists and often referred to as the “Mother of Satan.”

Due to its extreme volatility, officials noted that TATP can detonate with minimal disturbance and typically does not require a fuse to explode.

Miraculously, the device failed to detonate. Had it exploded, officials say it could have killed or severely injured people in the crowd.

The explosive device itself is being analyzed at the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, where specialists are working to determine its exact composition and origin.

Video footage captured the second suspect, Ibrahim Nick, screaming “Allahu Akbar!” as he was arrested outside Gracie Mansion, the residence of far-left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced the arrests of Balat and Nick, along with four other unidentified counter-protesters from the pro-Islam side.

“The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death.

Further analysis will be conducted, including on a second device.

Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested on scene yesterday and are in custody in connection with this matter. The NYPD is working on this investigation with our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI through our Joint Terrorism Task Force.

I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects.”

But now, federal authorities are digging deeper, revealing that these aren’t just misguided kids, they’re part of a broader network with alarming links to foreign radicals.

Fox 29 reported:

The FBI and local police are investigating two Bucks County homes Sunday afternoon in connection with protests in New York City on Saturday where two people were arrested for allegedly trying to set off improvised explosive devices.

Officials are serving warrants at two homes in Bucks County — one near Durham Road and Frosty Hollow Road in Middletown Township, the other near Stoopville Road and Clymer Street in Newtown Township.

Officials said there was no threat to the public at either location, but asked that people stay away from the areas while teams investigated.

Law-enforcement sources say both suspects had become self-radicalized in recent years and had consumed extremist propaganda online.

Investigators believe the pair also traveled internationally, including trips to Turkey and other regions that have historically served as transit points for jihadist networks. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/9/2026)  (Archive)

Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are.

What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are.

I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day.

My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.

News about the attempted terror attack that took place in New York over the weekend keeps coming. We learned about the families of Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18 earlier. Kayumi’s parents own a 5,800 square foot home in Pennsylvania and are naturalized citizens from Afghanistan while Balat’s parents come from Turkey and they were naturalized in 2017.

Now we know what charges the pair are facing, and we’re learning of a startling admission about their intent. First, we’ll get to the charges.

According to CNN, Kayumi and Balat are both facing charges of providing material support to a terrorist organization and using a weapon of mass destruction.

(…) Fox News also shared details of the complaint: “More specifically, Balat wrote on a piece of paper that he ‘pledge[d] allegiance to the Islamic state’ and Kayumi stated, in substance and in part, that he was affiliated with ISIS; watched ISIS propaganda on his phone; and was partly inspired to carry out his actions that day by ISIS.”

March 9, 2026 – CIA faces backlash after hidden document with potential cure for cancer is declassified after 60 years

A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago.

The document, produced in February 1951 and declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper that examined striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors.

The report describes how researchers believed both organisms thrived under nearly identical metabolic conditions and accumulated large reserves of glycogen, a form of stored energy.

The research also highlighted experiments showing that certain chemical compounds were capable of targeting both parasitic infections and malignant tumors.

One drug, Myracyl D, was reportedly effective against bilharzia parasites as well as cancerous growths, hinting that treatments developed for parasites might also attack tumors.

Other compounds were found to interfere with nucleic acid production, a process essential for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.

Experiments on mice even showed that tumor tissues reacted differently to certain chemicals than normal tissues, further reinforcing the perceived biochemical overlap between parasites and cancers.

Although the document was declassified more than a decade ago, it has recently resurfaced online, fueling outrage among some Americans who say it raises troubling questions about why Cold War research hinting at possible cancer treatments sat in intelligence archives for decades.

‘The Americans knew. They read it, classified it CONFIDENTIAL, and locked it in a vault for 60 years,’ one person shared on X, including the CIA documents in the post.

Another X user said: ‘The CIA knew from 1951 that cancer was parasites.’

However, the document itself does not say cancer is caused by parasites, only that a Soviet study noted biochemical similarities between tumors and parasitic worms and observed that some compounds affected both in experiments.

Daily Mail has contacted the CIA for comment.

The CIA document was based on a 1950 article published in the Soviet scientific journal Priroda by Professor V V Alpatov, a researcher studying the biochemical behavior of endoparasites, organisms that live inside the body of a host.

American intelligence analysts translated and circulated the paper because it was considered potentially relevant to biomedical and national defense research during the early years of the Cold War.

According to the Soviet research summarized in the report, one of the most striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancer cells was their metabolism.

Parasitic worms that inhabit the human intestine rely heavily on anaerobic metabolism, meaning they generate energy without requiring large amounts of oxygen.

March 9, 2026 – Trump targeted by four FBI code-named counterintel probes that ensnared hundreds of Americans

(Credit: Wikipedia)

President Donald Trump and his supporters were targeted by four consecutive FBI code-named counterintelligence investigations over the last decade that secretly subjected hundreds of innocent Americans to privacy-invading tactics and essentially treated the man twice elected president as a national security threat for most of the first nine years of his political career, according to interviews and documents reviewed by Just the News.

FBI Director Kash Patel has personally led the effort to review the operations code-named Crossfire Hurricane, Round River, Plasmic Echo and Arctic Frost that stretched from summer 2016 to January 2025, uncovering evidence of a far-reaching dragnet that in some cases may have been predicated on false, misleading or uncorroborated justifications, officials said.

Many of the investigative files were hidden from view, even from most FBI agents, because they were marked “prohibited access” and controlled carefully by FBI leadership.

Patel’s search has been aided by whistleblowers inside his agency, a handful of senior bureau executives close to the director and some members of Congress, particularly Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

FBI’s work hijacked by politics, invading citizens’ privacy

Those who have seen the records told Just the News they chronicle how the FBI’s expanded counterterrorism and counterintelligence missions after the Sept, 11, 2001, terrorist attacks eventually became hijacked by politics and led agents to deploy tools meant for terrorists and spies against everyday Americans in a bid to find a way to bring criminal cases against Trump.

One whistleblower this month told the FBI that surveillance and monitoring of Trump figures continued right up to the president’s January 2025 inauguration, according to multiple interviews.

Few inside Trump’s orbit were spared from targeting by their stature: a dozen members of Congress and their staffers, his future chief of staff Susie Wiles, journalists, campaign advisers, defense lawyers, and even Patel himself had their privacy pierced by warrants, wiretaps, FISA surveillance, phone record analysis, FBI assessments, or grand juries.

Many targets and subjects fell under the bureau’s definition of special circumstances targets because they have recognized constitutionally protected privileges – like lawyers, members of Congress, journalists, and political figures.

Even a political consultant turned documentary filmmaker who investigated Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings before joining Trump’s 2024 campaign was recently notified he was targeted in a criminal investigation that only recently was shut down, according to letters between Congress and the FBI reviewed by Just the News.

Michael Caputo had his emails and communications seized in 2023 by a “classified subpoena” issued about two weeks after he joined the Trump campaign and the email account the bureau penetrated “contained correspondence on The Trump Campaign’s private strategies and deliberations,” the correspondence stated.

Patel’s FBI has informed Congress that probe has been shut down. But the question of how so many Americans were targeted remains open.

At least 1,200 people that fall into the categories of special circumstances targets or subject were investigated under assessments by the FBI between 2018 and 2024 during Wray’s tenure, an explosive recent audit report to Congress revealed.

March 8, 2026 – Newly released body cam footage proves The Institute of Peace refused to allow government employees to enter and shut it down

Employees from the Institute of Peace attempt to block government employees from entry when they arrived to shut it down. (Credit: public domain)

In early May 2025, we learned from a FOX interview with Elon Musk and Big Balls that the Institute of Peace had nothing to do with peace. DOGE went into the office that housed the institute and found government waste, loaded weapons, and employees that tried to destroy data before they entered.

This newly released body cam footage from the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace shows the insane resistance the Trump team faced from day one.

As Edward Coristine (aka Big Balls) told Jesse Watters last year, this was the “least peaceful” of all the agencies to deal with, and that it used taxpayer funds for private jets, an armory filled with weapons, and contracts with the former members of the Taliban (!!)

These are grown adults in full meltdown mode because they realized the gravy train was coming to an end. They referred to lawful orders as “jackbooted police state actions” while refusing to vacate the premises after President Trump issued an order firing them and sending in his DOGE team to clean house.

What you see in this video isn’t democracy, it’s an insight into how wild and entitled the DC swamp had grown.

Even the officers who were on the scene to ensure order became impatient after realizing these defiant bureaucrats weren’t even USIP employees when one said, “we’re their lawyers” who were trying to regain access to “classified information” pertaining to “other cases” outside of USIP’s purview.

George Foote, one of the lawyers there, even pushed to have Trump officials arrested as “unauthorized intruders.”

Elon Musk later revealed on X that USIP’s chief accountant attempted to wipe over a terabyte of financial data in a desperate cover-up – but DOGE recovered it, and it’s now with the DOJ for review.

Unelected ideologues fleecing taxpayer dollars shouldn’t block the people’s choice. This is what draining the swamp looks like, and it’s horrifying just how out of control it had all become.

March 9, 2026 – Cops swarm Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro ranch to search for bodies of two girls strangled during rough sex sessions

The sad story of at least two girls killed during rough sex sessions at Jeffrey Epstein’s remote New Mexico ranch is closer to being told, following a massive police swoop on the 7,500 acre property.

For years talk of the deaths has swirled around Zorro Ranch in the tiny town of Stanley, 30 miles south of the state capital, Santa Fe – but the identities of the girls have never been known.

Now, law enforcement is confident it can find the bodies if they exist and put names to the dead girls.

Agents from the state Department of Justice, along with police and the local sheriff’s office, started the search on Monday and continued into Tuesday.

The investigation is running in parallel to a truth commission that was unanimously set up by local lawmakers last month to try to find out exactly what went on at Zorro.

‘We have heard years of allegations and rumors about Epstein’s activities in New Mexico, but unfortunately, federal investigations have failed to put together an official record,’ said State Representative Andrea Romero, who led the fight to establish the commission, and is one of its four members.

‘With this truth commission, we can finally fill in the gaps by investigating the failures that led to the horrific allegations of abuse and crime at Zorro Ranch, so we can learn from them and prevent such atrocities from taking place in our state going forward.’

The operation began just the day after hundreds of protesters gathered at the ranch, now renamed Rancho de San Rafael by its new owner. (Read more: Daily Mail, 3/10/2026)  (Archive)

March 10, 2026 – DC Bar Counsel initiates formal disciplinary proceedings against Ed Martin, leader of the Weaponization Working Group within the DOJ

The same DC Bar that is now trying to disbar Ed Martin for carrying out the president’s executive orders did not disbar Kevin Clinesmith, the man who literally fabricated evidence to secure a spy warrant on the Trump campaign.

We all know that the DC Bar is thoroughly corrupt (as are the DC courts) but there are ways to make them pay. Haul them before Congress, not because it will achieve anything, but to tie them down and force them to spend huge sums. Hit them with legal actions, drain their resources, and exploit every procedural lever to make their lives difficult. There needs to be far more outside-the-box thinking on these matters.

March 10, 2026 – “Hero” police officer on Hakeem Jeffries’ Jan. 6 memorial plaque placed in the Capitol, is indicted on 9 felony counts including abduction, drugging and rape

(Credit: The Gateway Pundit)

A former Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer, hailed as a “hero” on a controversial Capitol plaque honoring law enforcement’s response to the January 6, 2021 protests, has been slapped with a superseding indictment on multiple felony counts, including rape, sodomy, and abduction.

Timothy Valentin is currently sitting behind bars facing a mountain of felony charges.

Timothy Valentin is among the officers whose names appear on the controversial January 6 memorial plaques shoved down America’s throat by radical Democrats.

This is the same plaque pushed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and his cronies, all while they continue to demonize peaceful Trump supporters as “domestic terrorists.”

March 10, 2026 – Left-wing activists are training juries to sabotage Trump DOJ cases

 

Last month, Townhall reported how a Left-wing activist group in Minnesota was advising citizens how to “resist” federal immigration laws by providing jury nullification training. That group, Defend612 seeks to “support resistance to the ICE occupation in Minneapolis” and ran two virtual sessions titled “The People’s Pardon or Jury Nullification” at the end of February.

It seems this push to undermine our judicial system and the Trump administration is spreading, with reports that a Leftist activist group is doing the same thing in the Washington D.C. area and in other places across the country.

Here’s more:

A left-wing activist group is teaching liberals in Washington, D.C., and “across the United States” how to increase their chances of serving as jurors on cases brought by the Trump Department of Justice so they can undermine its chances of securing convictions, training materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.

Freedom Trainers, whose fiscal sponsor is the George Soros-funded group Community Change, is working to make “jury nullification”—the practice of voting against a conviction even if the defendant broke the law—a go-to legal weapon for the Left. Its sessions and training materials, reviewed by the Free Beacon, show how the group teaches “committed people” to gum up federal prosecutions.

The group tells attendees to keep their addresses current to ensure they receive summons. Then, during the jury selection process, it advises them to “Never mention jury nullification,” “Don’t signal an agenda,” and “say you’ll listen to the evidence before forming conclusions.” Once selected, the group tells its trainees to vote “not guilty” for any reason.

There is no institution the Left won’t destroy in order to “resist” President Trump and Republicans. Of course, this can backfire on them in many ways, including leading to mistrials and legal consequences for jurors who misrepresent themselves during jury selection.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s security officer was fatally shot by Dallas SWAT officers this week.

The security officer, Mike King, was a fugitive after impersonating a law enforcement officer.

King was killed in his garage during a standoff with Dallas SWAT officers on Wednesday night.

According to CBS News, he drove a “replica undercover police vehicle” with license plates “stolen from cars outside a military recruiting office.”

King reportedly has an extensive criminal history.

It is unclear how King was able to serve as Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s security detail despite his criminal background (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/13/2026)  (Archive)

March 11, 2026 – Why are important Bills passed by the House and then languish in the Senate, while both are controlled by Republicans?

Let’s talk about the real obstruction in Washington right now.

Not the Democrats.
Not the media.

It’s the Republican Senate leadership slow-walking President Donald Trump’s agenda.

And the man holding the gavel is @LeaderJohnThune.

Thune is 64 years old.
He has spent nearly three decades in Washington.

And right now, under his leadership, the Senate has become a graveyard for Trump-backed legislation passed by the House.

Bills that the American people demanded.
Bills that House Republicans delivered.

Bills that the Senate has sat on for over a year.

Let’s look at the receipts.

430+ DAYS gathering dust in the Senate:

• SAVE Act (H.R. 22) — Proof of citizenship to vote. Introduced Jan. 3, 2025. Still sitting. (~430+ days)

• Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act (H.R. 27) — Crush fentanyl trafficking. (~430+ days)

• Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act (H.R. 28) — Keep men out of women’s sports. (~430+ days)

• Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act — Require medical care for babies born alive after abortion attempts. (~430+ days)

• Action Versus No Action Act (H.R. 184) — Speed up forest management and energy development. (~430+ days)

• Multiple border security and energy protection bills from early 2025. (~430+ days)

More bills rotting in Senate limbo:

• Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405) — Release Epstein-related records. (~300+ days)

• Clear Skies Act (H.R. 4403) — Energy and environmental deregulation. (~300+ days)

• Tribal Trust Land Homeownership reforms — (~300+ days)

• BOWOW Act of 2025 (H.R. 4638) — (~250+ days)

• Stop the Sexualization of Children Act (H.R. 7661) — (~200+ days)

• Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2026 (H.R. 1958) — (~200+ days)

• DHS funding / border security bills for 2026 — sitting unfinished. (~200+ days)

• Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act (H.R. 6365) — (~100+ days)

• Housing for the 21st Century Act (H.R. 6644) — (~90-100 days)

And now the big one:

SAVE America Act (H.R. 7296)
Passed the House Feb. 11, 2026 (218-213).

Trump’s top legislative priority right now.

Proof of citizenship to vote.
Photo ID requirements.
Protections for women’s sports.
Restrictions on transgender procedures for minors.
Limits on mass mail-in voting loopholes.

And what has the Senate done?

Nothing.

About 40 days and counting.

Meanwhile President Trump has made it crystal clear:

No signatures on other legislation until the SAVE America Act moves.

Because Trump understands something Senate Republicans apparently don’t:

If elections aren’t secure, none of the rest of this matters.

So the question for @LeaderJohnThune and Senate Republicans is simple:

Why are House-passed bills sitting for 430+ days?

Why is the Senate slow-walking the very agenda voters elected Trump to deliver?

Why does the Republican Senate look like a bureaucratic parking lot instead of a legislative engine?

At some point, excuses run out.

The American people didn’t vote for a Republican Senate that behaves like a speed bump.

They voted for a government that actually moves the agenda forward.

And right now, the Senate isn’t moving.

It’s stalling.

The clock is ticking.

Pass the bills.

Or explain to the voters why you won’t.

TO THE SPINELESS FUCKS IN CONGRESS…

Listen closely, you marble-mouthed, donor-fellating invertebrates who dare call yourselves Senate Republicans.

Katie Miller just dropped the unvarnished truth like a guillotine:

“If President Trump can risk his freedom fighting for you, Senate Republicans can risk long nights and weekends.”

And yet here you sit…polished, perfumed, paralyzed…while the Republic you swore to defend hemorrhages at the border, the bureaucracy, and the ballot box.

Let us recount, with the cold precision of a historian carving open the corpse of a betrayed empire, exactly what Donald J. Trump has endured to save this nation from the abyss you helped dig.

Two grotesque impeachments, fabricated from whole cloth by the same swamp creatures he pledged to drain…pure theater, engineered to neuter the one man who refused to kneel.

Ninety-one felony indictments across four kangaroo jurisdictions:

the New York hush-money financial jihad, the Georgia RICO election-interference farce, the classified-documents entrapment trap, the January 6th Soviet-style show trial.

All of it lawfare, not justice…designed to bankrupt him, cage him, and crucify his movement before the people could speak.

Mar-a-Lago raided like a Third World dictatorship.

Gag orders.

Mugshots.

Trials deliberately timed to eclipse his campaign.

Two assassination attempts…one with a bullet grazing his skull, blood streaking his face while Secret Service agents bled beside him; the second thwarted only by raw providence.

Media bloodhounds baying for his head 24/7, painting him as everything from Hitler to a Russian asset while the real predators…open borders, endless wars, cultural castration…devoured the country he loves.

He lost businesses, friends, privacy, safety, and nearly his life.

Not for glory.

Not for money.

For you.

For the working stiffs abandoned by your bipartisan rot.

For the Republic the Founders pledged their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” to defend…words Trump has lived while you merely tattoo them on your sleeves for campaign mailers.

And what do you offer in return, you psychological cripples?

A masterclass in self-preservation masquerading as prudence. Your lizard brains…hardwired by decades of K-Street capture, donor dopamine hits, and terror of the next primary…compute only risk aversion.

Cognitive dissonance so profound you’ve convinced yourselves that “governing responsibly” means slow-walking the very mandates Trump just delivered in a landslide.

Extended sessions?

Too burdensome for your delicate calendars.

Abolishing the filibuster…the bastard child of Aaron Burr’s procedural sabotage, later weaponized by segregationist Democrats and now your favorite shield against real change?

God for fucking bid.

You’d rather perform midnight monologues for C-SPAN cameras than actually legislate like men who remember 1776.

This is betrayal with a smile.

Historical precedent screams the verdict:

Roman senators who stabbed Caesar while praising the Republic they murdered; Vichy collaborators clutching their privileges while the nation burned; Federalist Papers warning that ambition must counteract ambition…yet your ambition counteracts nothing except the will of the voters who just handed Trump the gavel.

You are not statesmen.

You are psychological captives…Stockholm syndrome wrapped in Brooks Brothers, terrified that matching Trump’s sacrifice might cost you a subcommittee chair or a future lobbying gig.

So twist the knife deeper, you gutless fucks.

Trump risked prison, bullets, and bankruptcy to drag this country back from the cliff.

The least you spineless reptiles can do is risk a few all-nighters and some weekend conference calls. Pass the damn bills.

Kill the filibuster.

Secure the border.

Defund the deep state.

Time to bleed for the Republic you claim to love. Or admit you never fucking did.

March 12, 2026 – Ilhan Omar’s ties to her sister’s Minneapolis Health Clinic, Somali Health Company

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) web of shady family ties goes even deeper than her alleged marriage to her brother — reportedly using her political offices to secure millions of dollars for a Minneapolis health clinic operated by her sister, who is married to a top Somali government official.

Omar’s elder sister, Sahra Noor, states on her LinkedIn profile that she was the CEO of People’s Center Clinics & Services from July 2014 to April 2018. In January 2017, Omar began her two-year term as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

People’s Center is in the Minneapolis neighborhood of Cedar-Riverside, nicknamed “Little Mogadishu” for its high Somali migrant population, many of whom do not speak English.

The 2017 capital budget approved by the state legislature included $2.2 million for the clinic, which operates as a nonprofit that has received $33 million in Health and Human Services (HHS) grants since 2002.

While People’s Center has an active contract pharmacy agreement for HHS’s 340B Drug Pricing Program with “Degdeg’s Carepoint Pharmacy,” signed by Noor in 2015, the pharmacy lost its license in 2017 and is listed as “permanently closed” on Google Maps.

Omar boasted about getting the $2.2 million for the clinic that was being run by her sister at the time, celebrating the renovations it completed in 2022 along with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), state Sen. Omar Fateh (D-MN), and other Democrats:

(…) As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Omar secured another $1 million for clinic renovations, stating in April 2022 that “neither I nor my immediate family has any financial interest in this project.”

In April 2024, People’s Center credited Omar for getting them $1 million in congressionally directed funding.

When the media was asking Omar and her family difficult questions about the nature of her multiple marriages, one allegedly to her brother, Noor left her CEO position and moved back to Africa, running her own healthcare consultancy called Grit Partners in Kenya — which she claimed facilitated “peer learning session” projects funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Noor’s husband, Mohamed Keynan, held multiple positions within the Minnesota state and local governments before also moving back to Africa to work as chief of staff to then-Somali Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khayre and policy advisor to then-President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, commonly known as Farmaajo.

Prior to becoming one of the top advisors in Somalia, Keynan’s LinkedIn states he was a management analyst in the Minnesota Department of Human Services, a city planning commissioner in the Twin Cities suburb of Roseville, and a contracts manager for Hennepin County.

March 12, 2026 – Ex-Virginia National Guard soldier convicted of trying to provide support to ISIS, opens fire at Old Dominion University

The madman who opened fire at Old Dominion University on Thursday, killing a retired military officer instructing an ROTC class, has been identified as an ex-National Guard soldier convicted of trying to support ISIS, The Post has learned.

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, stormed into a classroom inside ODU’s Constant Hall and asked if it was an ROTC class. When someone confirmed that it was, he launched the suspected terror attack, shooting the professor several times, law enforcement sources said.

A heroic ROTC cadet at the Virginia school jumped into action to prevent more carnage, stabbing Jalloh to death after the crazed suspect gunned down the class instructor, the sources said.

(…) In 2017, Jalloh, a former member of the Virginia National Guard, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS and the ISIL, according to the Department of Justice.

A naturalized US citizen from Sierra Leone, Jalloh left the National Guard and became a devoted follower of Anwar al-Awlaki, the slain leader of Al-Qaeda’s branch in the Arabian Peninsula, the DOJ said.

He connected with members of the ISIL during a six-month stay in Africa. During one meeting on the trip, unknowingly observed by an FBI informant, Jalloh mentioned a desire to launch his own terror attack, the DOJ said. (Read more: New York Post, 3/12/2026)  (Archive)

March 13, 2026 – All members of Texas Antifa cell convicted in first Federal terrorism trial

(Credit: Andy Ngo)

Nine defendants accused of a July 4, 2025 ambush on a Texas ICE facility faced charges including providing support to terrorists and attempted murder of federal officers.

FORT WORTH, Texas — A federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas has convicted all nine members of a North Texas Antifa cell in the first federal Antifa terrorism trial in U.S. history.

The verdict followed two full days of deliberations after a trial that lasted 12 days.

Benjamin Song, Cameron Arnold (a Trantifa known as “Autumn Hill”), Bradford Morris (another Trantifa activist known as “Meagan Morris”), Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada were indicted last year on federal charges including providing material support to terrorists, rioting, use of an explosive device and obstruction.

Jurors found the defendants guilty of providing material support to terrorists, rioting, conspiracy to use/carry explosives and using/carrying explosives.

The jury acquitted the group on two of the charges: aiding attempted murder and aiding firearm discharge.

Benjamin Song, whom prosecutors described as the ringleader, wasn’t charged with the explosives-related charges but was convicted of the more serious attempted murder of a peace officer as well as multiple counts related to discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. The other defendants were acquitted on those firearm counts.

Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, a Mexican national, was found guilty of conspiracy to conceal documents and corruptly concealing documents or records after the attack. His partner, Maricela Rueda, was also found guilty of conspiracy to conceal documents after telling him to hide her far-left extremist texts.

The defendants, described by prosecutors as members of a North Texas Antifa cell, were accused of carrying out an ambush-style shooting attack on the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas on July 4, 2025.

March 13, 2026 – Hillary Clinton non-profit launches Epstein deposition-related merchandise

Hillary Clinton’s political nonprofit is offering merchandise referencing contempt as the former secretary of state recently testified before the House Oversight Committee during its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

On the shop page for Clinton’s nonprofit organization, Onward Together, apparel, including hats, sweatshirts, and t-shirts bearing the phrase “Hold me in contempt until the cows come home,” is currently available for purchase.

The slogan references when members of the House Oversight Committee voted this year to recommend holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress as part of the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons had previously offered to provide sworn written statements rather than appear in person, but committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) insisted they testify live before the panel.

(…) Clinton has continued political activity through Onward Together, the nonprofit organization she launched in 2017 after losing the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump. The group, structured as a 501(c)(4), can raise funds without publicly disclosing donors, a type of political funding commonly known as “dark money.”

She criticized the influence of “dark money” during her presidential campaign and called for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which cleared the way for nonprofits to spend unlimited sums of money through the 501(c)(4) designation.

March 13, 2026 – NY Gov. Kathy Hochul voices concern over wealthy NY’ers leaving the state; appeals for their return

Kathy Hochul makes public remarks at a Politico New York Agenda Summit in Albany, and acknowledges the state’s reliance on high-net-worth residents for tax revenue and urged them to return after many had left for lower-tax states like Florida.

In response to pressures from figures like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to raise taxes on the wealthy, Hochul highlighted the erosion of the tax base due to out-migration of affluent residents and businesses.

Key quotes from her remarks,: “I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state.”

“There are some patriotic millionaires who want to step up. OK, cut me the checks.”

“If you want to be supportive, the first step would be, OK, go down to Palm Beach and see who you bring back home because our tax base has become eroded.”

In this segment from The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, the hosts discuss and react to New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s recent public statements urging wealthy residents—particularly millionaires who have left the state to return to New York. They frame her comments as a desperate plea for high-income earners to come back and essentially subsidize the state’s expansive welfare programs and budget through their tax contributions.

The discussion highlights ongoing concerns about New York’s population and tax-base exodus in recent years, with many affluent individuals and businesses relocating to lower-tax states like Florida and Texas. Travis and Sexton criticize Hochul’s approach as tone-deaf, arguing it exposes the unsustainable nature of New York’s high-tax, high-spending policies that rely heavily on wealthy residents to fund social services and government programs.

March 13, 2026 – Data Republican dresses down retired Naval War College professor, Tom Nichols, after he tweets Pete Hegseth

Hello Professor Nichols,

You spent twenty-five years at the Naval War College. You taught the officers who would go on to run America’s wars. Famously, you never served in any of them.

In February 2003, you were at your desk in Newport when you wrote this, about Colin Powell’s presentation to the United Nations: “There is only one thing to say about Secretary Powell’s presentation at the U.N.: If this doesn’t do it, nothing will.” You were confident. You were expert. You were wrong. You acknowledged this twenty years later in The Atlantic — the invasion was, in your own words, “one of the greatest geopolitical disasters in American history.”

You wrote that from the same institution you are now defending.

The Senior Service Colleges produced the officers who managed the Afghanistan withdrawal. General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. General Kenneth McKenzie, CENTCOM commander. On September 28, 2021, both testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that they had recommended keeping 2,500 troops in Afghanistan.

The recommendation was not followed. They did not resign or say a word publicly. Then 13 American service members died at Abbey Gate on August 26, 2021. Only after that did they testify.

Your response, in The Atlantic, August 16, 2021: “Afghanistan Is Your Fault.”

Not the generals your institutions trained and credentialed. Not the curriculum that built the career-preserving, NSC-deferring officer class that drove those decisions to their conclusion. The American public, with our short attention span and our SUVs.

General Milley, whose career your institution shaped, secretly called his PLA counterpart twice, October 30, 2020 and January 8, 2021, and assured him the US would not strike China, and that Milley would warn him personally if an attack were ordered. You wrote “Trump Put Milley in an Impossible Position.”

That’s not all. Secretary Austin concealed a cancer diagnosis from the White House and Congress for weeks while incapacitated; the DoD Inspector General documented it. At his farewell address in September 2023, Milley publicly called his former commander-in-chief a “wannabe dictator.”

You found none of this worth a column.

Anthony Tata is a retired Brigadier General. He commanded forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. He led soldiers in both wars. And now he has been asked to conduct a 90-day curriculum review of the Senior Service Colleges. Your objection is that he lacks the credentials for the job.

You wrote a whole book about credentials. The foundational knowledge of the average American is, in your assessment, “plummeting to aggressively wrong.” Institutions must be insulated from the ignorant. Expertise must not be questioned by those who haven’t earned it.

The men who earned your institution’s credentials – over twenty-plus years of your tenure – presided over two of the longest military failures in American history. They managed those failures in line with everything the War Colleges taught them: subordinate military judgment to civilian direction, preserve the relationship, testify about it later. They retired with honors.

That is what “expertise” means to you.

The question Pete Hegseth is asking isn’t whether the War Colleges have credentials. It’s whether the credentials mean anything. After twenty-five years on your faculty training generals who only know how to lose war, Professor Nichols, you are the wrong man to answer that.

March 14, 2026 – Data Republican: “Hello [doxxers] Brad Duplessis” (and Ryan Evans)

Brad Duplessis (Credit: Bluesky)

Hello Brad Duplessis,

You pre-emptively blocked me here on 𝕏, so I am forced to make this “Hello” a standalone post.

You are a retired Army infantry officer. You served in Iraq and Afghanistan. You graduated from the National War College in 2018. You are now an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

Thank you for your service.

But reputations are not defined by resumes. They are defined by choices.

Today, you chose to doxx @CynicalPublius.

Today, you published your debut article on War on the Rocks. You published his legal name. His profession. His pseudonym. All in one sentence. Indexed, archived, permanently searchable.

You have changed the course of his life forever, and revealed him to the leftist ghouls who will demand his blood for forever. It doesn’t matter if he was planning to reveal his identity eventually. You still made that choice. And I will make sure you are remembered for this.

So, what was CP’s sin such that you saw it fit to throw him to the wolves?

Last month, he dared to write an article for American Greatness, centered around nine recommendations for War College reform. The recommendations included firing most civilian faculty and ending permanent military faculty positions.

You hold a permanent civilian faculty position at a War College. You did not mention this in your article.

In short, you named him, exposed his life to danger, because you really are arguing for your job and self-preservation.

Know what is the most disgusting, hypocritical part of this is?

In the Fall 2017 issue of eARMOR (the U.S. Army Armor Branch professional journal) you published an article. You titled it “Our Readiness Problem: Brigade Combat Team Lethality.” You opened with General Milley: “Our fundamental task is like no other — it is to win in the unforgiving crucible of ground combat.” Your thesis: “If we are to get after GEN Milley’s No. 1 priority, we must first address brigade combat team (BCT) lethality.” The word “lethality” appears in your article about fifty times. You meant it as a compliment.

Now contrast to today’s piece. You wrote this: “In staking out this Huntingtonian position, the cult of lethality does a disservice to service members and the American people.”

The same word. Nine years apart. You were a field commander then, and lethality was the mission. You are a faculty member now, and lethality is what your critics embarrassingly worship.

Frankly – and you will never realize this – but you yourself are the living, walking example of the thesis which @PeteHegseth is proving.

Also, you named a section of today’s article after Colin Powell. You called him your model of what War College education produces. Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, and publicly called Donald Trump “dangerous for our democracy.” Powell, who infamously tipped the scales at the UN to start the Iraq war even after privately doubting the WMD intelligence, is your hero in an article about who gets to reform the military in 2026.

In addition to being a doxxer, you look a lot less like someone who’s defending institutions, and a lot more like someone who exemplifies institutional capture in the name of self-preservation. And you disclosed none of it.

Let me reiterate.

@CynicalPublius wrote under a pseudonym and identified himself as a retired Army colonel with Afghanistan and Iraq experience. He argued about curriculum policy. You responded by putting his name on the internet.

Your career depends on the institutions you are defending. Your article defending those institutions is the same article that ended his anonymity.

You taught your students about the instruments of national power, Professor Duplessis. You are now a living, breathing demonstration one of them. And why reform must happen.

Ryan Evans, CEO of War on the Rocks

We published the real name of the person writing under the Cynical Publius pseudonym, which he used to bully, insult, and direct widespread harassment. That person’s name was already widely known. Aside from mentioning that he is a veteran, something Thomas himself discusses, the article didn’t discuss any other personal information. Further, Thomas himself has said on X that he is revealing his name on Tuesday so this is all a bullshit, elaborate PR exercise in which you, Data Republican, and of course Thomas are treating your followers like they are dumbasses.

UPDATE 3/15/26:

Hello Mr. Evans,

Today, War on the Rocks published a “rebuttal” which disclosed the real-life identity of
@CynicalPublius. What the article did not mention: you had already posted his name on Bluesky before the WOTR piece published. The WOTR article cited his being “already known” as justification for printing his name. The person who made him “already known” was you. You manufactured the predicate for your own publication’s decision.

You then blocked me. And then called me out. Repeatedly. You engaged me, mentioned me, tagged me — even said publicly that you were looking forward to what I had written about War on the Rocks.

Blocking someone on a platform and then continuing to publicly engage them is not what a person who wants to be left alone does. It is what a person who wants the attention without the accountability does.

You’re framing your own just desserts as a “mass witch hunt” initiated by a Hello post I addressed to Brad Duplessis, your contributor, who named Cynical Publius in his debut WOTR piece without disclosing that Anderson’s recommendations for War College reform included eliminating the kind of permanent civilian faculty position Duplessis holds.

You are being dunked on because of what you did to Cynical Publius, not because of anything I wrote. Blaming the letter for the blowback is like blaming the smoke alarm for the fire.

Cynical Publius wrote that military institutions had drifted from their original professional mission toward ideological conformity and required reform. You responded by publishing his name. The question your letter to me does not answer — and the question a lot of people are now asking — is why an outlet that once existed to challenge that kind of institutional behavior became the one enforcing it.

You yourself provide answers to that question.

You launched War on the Rocks because you understood something true: the United States had spent two decades losing wars it shouldn’t have lost.

Twelve years later, when a pseudonymous retired Army officer argues that the War Colleges have drifted from warfighting competence toward ideological conformity, the platform you built publishes his name in the opening sentence.

That is not an accident of character. It is how institutions stop being able to learn. Armies that cannot receive criticism cannot conduct honest after-action review. Institutions that cannot correct what they’re getting wrong keep losing — and keep being surprised that they’re losing, because the people tasked with explaining the failures are the same people defending the institutions that produced them.

In short: Mr. Evans, you have been captured by the foreign policy expert class has presided over Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. And you don’t even realize it.

Wake up.

And be on the lookout for a Substack article where I explain your history more thoroughly.

Unfortunately Brad is a clear example of institutional capture. It’s hard to wrap my head around a retired Army officer teaching at a PME school, doxxing another retired Army officer that he disagrees with bc of his politics. It’s the equivalent of an ALO lighting up a “friendly” to eliminate the competition back home bc he felt threatened by a team mate.

He personifies the institutional rot and evil nature of ppl in a system that will sacrifice everything and everyone for “the system”. Mentioning Powell as an icon is brain numbingly retarded. I’ve met Powell a few times. Everyone I met at the Pentagon (Army of otherwise) had zero respect for him except the politicians. He was a useful tool. He, like Brad, sold his soul. Powell was referred to as a Beltway bandit. Even when he wasn’t assigned in DC he was a frequent visitor. He was a paper general and not a leader, so it’s no surprise Brad would put him on a pedestal while throwing .@CynicalPublius in front of the approaching enemy forces.

The positive: Brad exposes the danger @PeteHegseth identified as hazardous to the future of our military. Instead of intellectually engaging a peer, he picked up a proverbial weapon and stabbed him in the back. He personifies the PME cadre that are spineless, vile, intellectually weak personnel teaches our war fighters while clinging to the losers of yesteryear that spent 3 decades attriting our military in body bags.

Brad blocked me a long time ago because he is a weak man with zero balls. Fuck you Brad, may you rot in hell with the rest of your idols.

Cynical, Brad Duplessis and Ryan Evans’ actions were reprehensible—pure and simple.

Duplessis, still drawing a paycheck as an assistant professor at the Army Command and General Staff College, used his War on the Rocks debut (a platform he couldn’t wait to exploit) to doxx you—without any disclosure of his glaring conflict of interest. His own past writings gushed over “lethality” (dozens of mentions), yet now he hypocritically attacks the very reforms you advocate that threaten bloated civilian roles like his. Ryan Evans, as WOTR’s founder and CEO, approved and published this hit piece, greenlighting the exposure that invited mob harassment and death threats against a fellow veteran who simply called out institutional failures.

This wasn’t scholarship or debate; it was cowardly, self-serving gatekeeping by insiders desperate to shield their sinecures, tenure tracks, grants, and power from real accountability.

They proved your point about war colleges being captured by the wrong priorities—ideology over warfighting, conformity over lethality, bureaucracy over readiness.

Duplessis should be stripped of his taxpayer-funded position training officers at a military institution meant to build warriors, not protect academic bloat. The powers that be should ensure he slides any pension he may receiver. Boot Evans from any role influencing national security discourse.

Then sue them into eternity for the doxxing, the resulting threats, the breach of trust, and the damage done—especially since they knew (or should have known) the risks to a vet speaking truth.

This rot runs deep in these places, turning forge-of-warriors into echo chambers that helped deliver Afghanistan-level disasters.

Your raw, unfiltered X insights teach more genuine strategy, critical thinking, and reform urgency than these frauds ever will from their safe lecterns.

Props again to DR for shining the light on the hypocrisy, hidden conflicts, and defense of a broken system.

You’re not backing down, and neither should we.

America’s military deserves warriors educated by truth-tellers, not these entrenched phonies.
Keep hammering, friend.

No, Ryan.

What you did to Cynical Publius wasn’t journalism, wasn’t courage, and sure as hell wasn’t “countering bullying.”

It was a gutless, calculated doxxing of a combat veteran whose only crime was wielding a pseudonym to gut the sacred cows of your precious military-education cartel with more precision than your entire editorial staff could muster in a lifetime.

You dragged his real name into the light like some cheap tabloid hitman, not because he posed a physical threat, but because his ideas…raw, unfiltered, and surgically lethal…threatened the cozy sinecures, the civilian faculty fiefdoms, and the intellectual rot you’ve spent years polishing into tenure-track respectability.

This wasn’t about “accountability.” This was projection on steroids.

You saw a man who refused to play your polite institutional game…a man who chose anonymity not out of cowardice but out of tactical necessity, the same way special operators don’t sign their real names on every after-action report…and you couldn’t stomach it.

So you weaponized your platform to strip him bare, all while hiding behind the fig leaf of “he was going public anyway.”

Bullshit.

That’s the excuse of a bully who just got caught with his fist raised.

You didn’t expose a threat; you exposed your own fragility.

The second a pseudonymous voice started dismantling the war-college echo chamber with veteran credibility you’ll never match, your instinct wasn’t debate…it was destruction.

Classic authoritarian reflex dressed up as professionalism.

You don’t get to doxx veterans, Ryan.

Not for political disagreement, not for “harassment” you conveniently redefine as anyone who makes your faculty friends squirm, and especially not when that veteran has bled for the same institutions you now gatekeep like a fucking hall monitor with a PhD.

Cynical’s anonymity was his armor; you ripped it off not to protect anyone, but to punish dissent and send a message to every other independent mind:

toe the line or we’ll burn your cover.

That’s not defense of the realm.

That’s the behavior of a man who’s internalized the very bureaucratic cancer he claims to oppose…petty, vindictive, and terrified of real scrutiny.

You are the bully here, Ryan Evans.

Full stop.

The venom you injected into that article wasn’t righteous; it was the desperate hiss of a cornered insider watching his narrative monopoly crack.

And the rest of us…veterans, reformers, anyone who still believes ideas should be fought with ideas, not personal destruction…see it for exactly what it is:

a moral failure wrapped in editorial sanctimony.

Next time you want to play tough guy, try it with your own name on the line instead of someone else’s blood-earned service record.

Until then, spare us the lectures.

Your mask just slipped, and the face underneath is pure, unadulterated institutional cowardice.

March 15, 2026 – Virginia Gov Ralph Northam’s soft on crime policies set an Islamic terrorist loose on the Old Dominion University campus

Virginia’s former Republican attorney general, Jason Miyares, posted to social media revealing that a policy from the state’s former Democrat governor Ralph Northam prevented Old Dominion University from learning about the criminal background of the Islamic terrorist Mohamed Bailor Jalloh.

“Per Virginian law, public colleges are barred from questioning prospective applicants on their criminal histories or denying them admission on the basis of criminal history,” the post read. The provision came about via a 2019 woke social justice initiative signed into law by Northam.

If this policy had not been in place, the university would have been able to discover the criminal past of Jalloh, including when he pleaded guilty to providing material support to the Islamic State in 2017. That plea resulted in an 11 year sentence, but was cut to just two and a half years long after Jalloh completed a substance abuse program. (Read more: Townhall, 3/15/2026)  (Archive)

March 14, 2026 – The Deep State protection of the Seth Rich files may be ending

Vox used the above graphic captured from Fox News to use in a published piece titled “The bonkers Seth Rich conspiracy theory, explained” on May 24, 2017. (Credit: Fox News)

(…) On February 3, 2020, at NoisyRoom.net, I framed the Deep State as a de facto criminal enterprise under the RICO Act, committing treason, fraud, obstruction, and other racketeering acts in a continuing pattern (18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968).

The DNC “hack” fit the pattern: Assange denied Russian involvement and forensic analysis pointed to an insider leak, yet the FBI never inspected the DNC servers themselves, relying on CrowdStrike’s report. This misdirection fueled the Russia-Trump collusion hoax, justifying surveillance, media smears, and the Mueller probe. Under those circumstances, Rich’s potential role as a whistleblower threatened the whole house of cards.

Over the next few years, I authored a string of investigative reports, drilling down with hard evidence:

  • June 3, 2022: “Who Really Killed Seth Rich?”— Reexamined the murder as the Russia hoax collapsed, highlighting Rich’s access and Sanders loyalty.
  • July 12, 2022: “Use RICO to Get to the Bottom of Seth Rich’s Murder”— Proposed RICO as the tool to connect the hit to a broader conspiracy.
  • September 18, 2023: “Who is Seth Rich? Who Murdered Him? And What’s The Deep State Hiding?”— Linked to Durham Report findings of FBI misconduct.
  • February 2, 2024: “The FBI Again Tries to Block Seth Rich’s Laptop from Public View”— Exposed defiance in FOIA cases like Huddleston v. FBI, with exemptions claimed for “classified” or “personal” data.
  • March 18, 2025: “The FBI Must Investigate Itself And, Once Cleaned, Several Other Political Crimes”— Drew parallels to Epstein, calling for systemic reform.
  • August 2, 2025: “Was the Death of Seth Rich a Hit by the Deep State?”— Incorporated ODNI declassifications (under Tulsi Gabbard), Metro PD leaks from Officer Douglas Berlin, and the bombshell “Prohibited Access” files—a secret FBI repository shielding sensitive records.
  • August 8, 2025: “Seth Rich: Dead Men Tell No Tales”— Framed it as a murder mystery riddled with media disinformation (e.g., Michael Isikoff-style amplification of false narratives), unproven CrowdStrike claims, and urgent calls for probes under Kash Patel and Pam Bondi.

These articles relied on verifiable sources: FOIA denials-turned-admissions, court orders ignored, intelligence lapses (no crime-scene forensics pushed, devices held since 2016, but contents suppressed). Whispers persist, and in an unsolved case, such rumors are almost inevitable. The same holds for the broader possibility of a professional or contracted operative several levels removed from any decision-maker: plausible deniability is the hallmark of these operations.

Now, however, at long last, the Trump FBI is ever so slowly giving up its secrets. Senator Chuck Grassley deserves major credit. Attorney Ty Clevenger used Grassley’s discovery of hidden FBI files to advance his FOIA suits. Matt Taibbi at Racket News just posted an exclusive update on these hidden FBI files. John Solomon of Just the News just dropped an article detailing how prohibited-access files shielded politically sensitive cases, including an intriguing quote from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon. The Federalist published these bombshell articles, too (here, here, here, and here). Whistleblower tips to Grassley’s office blew the lid off. Grassley demanded that AG Bondi and Director Patel produce records; some have been turned over amid internal resistance, and Patel’s task force is now excavating decades of hidden material.

Grassley said:

If it weren’t for whistleblower disclosures to my office, the very existence of the FBI using “Prohibited Access” files for some investigations would have remained in the dark. I’ve asked Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel to turn over certain Prohibited Access records to Congress. I’ve received some but am still waiting on others. I urge the DOJ and FBI to keep digging—which previous administrations apparently didn’t make any effort to do—so that the facts can come to light. The FBI’s secret stash of records is scandalous.

March 15, 2026 – Weirdo James Comey recalls singing Beyoncé song during 2016 FBI ‘Sandcastles’ briefing (Video)

Former FBI Director James Comey shared a story on Sunday recalling an unusual moment from his time leading the bureau, describing how a reference to a Beyoncé song during a 2016 FBI briefing was met with silence from colleagues in the room.

Comey stated in a video posted Sunday on his Substack:

As FBI director, I would get briefed all the time on serious stuff, including operations or cases that always seemed to have these strange code names that nobody could explain the origin of, at least not to the director. And so the names became a little bit of an obsession of mine.

One morning, I was sitting at the head of a big table in a crowded room to get briefed on a particular piece of work. The briefer started by saying the operation was codenamed “Sandcastles.”

Now, this was 2016, and you may know that Beyoncé’s album Lemonade had come out with a track called “Sandcastles.” So I said, “Oh, like the Beyoncé song.” Blank stares all around the FBI conference room. So I did the natural thing. I think I sang, “We rebuild sand castles that washed away.” Nope, nothing — dead silence. “Never mind,” I said, “continue.” Only when I got home and told my family the story did I get the reaction I was looking for. When I write, I listen to classical or jazz because, in ways I can’t explain, the music unlocks something. It frees me.

Comey led the FBI from 2013 until he was fired in 2017 during President Donald Trump’s first administration. His remarks come months after a federal judge dismissed a 2025 indictment charging him with making false statements and obstruction of justice related to his 2020 Senate testimony, a ruling the Justice Department has indicated it will appeal.

March 17, 2026 – Nick Shirley exposes California fraud

Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger… We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.

It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America’s fraud crisis.

Gavin Newsom wants to be President. Think of it. The man who turned the Golden State into the greatest fraud factory the world has ever seen… the man who let billions and billions and billions of your tax dollars get stolen right out from under him… that man wants to run the country. Everybody sees it. Even the Democrats see it. They just don’t want to talk about it.

So let’s talk about what’s really happening in California because the numbers are so big, so staggering, so unbelievable that people can’t even comprehend them. Medi-Cal… that’s California’s version of Medicaid, their big healthcare program… has more than doubled from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion. The population didn’t double. The spending doubled. Where did the money go? It went to the fraudsters. It went to the grifters. It went to people driving around in brand new BMWs and $200,000 Maybachs while your grandmother can’t afford her medication in the 4th largest economy in the world. Disgraceful.

A brave young journalist… Nick Shirley, great guy, incredible courage… went into Los Angeles and did what the entire state government of California refused to do. He walked up to the doors. He knocked. He asked questions. And what did he find? He found daycares with 39 children enrolled on paper and five kids actually there. He found daycares in San Diego with 14 children enrolled and zero… zero… present when the state inspectors showed up. Four different visits by state inspectors. Zero children every single time. And California kept sending the checks. Kept sending the money. Billions of dollars just flowing out the door to empty buildings and ghost children.

Think of it.

Nick found a daycare operating out of an apartment… one bedroom… supposedly caring for eight kids. He shows up and finds two small children outside completely unsupervised. No adult anywhere. His producer, a mother, broke down crying on camera because the scene was so horrifying. These are real children being used as pawns in a massive fraud scheme and Gavin Newsom’s California didn’t do a thing to stop it. Not a thing.

But the daycares… and this is the part that really gets you… the daycares are almost small compared to what’s happening with hospice. Los Angeles County has seen a 1,500 percent increase in hospice companies since 2010. That’s not a typo. Fifteen hundred percent. The elderly population went up about 40 percent. The number of hospice agencies went from 109 to over 1,800. Forty-five times more hospice agencies per senior than New York. Fifty-nine times more than Florida. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it.

CBS News… and give them credit, they actually did real journalism for once… went through every single hospice operating in LA County. Seven hundred and forty-two of them… 42 percent… showed multiple red flags for fraud as defined by the state’s own criteria. Nearly 500 hospices crammed into a three-mile radius in the San Fernando Valley. One hundred and thirty-seven along Van Nuys Boulevard alone. Eighty-nine… 89 hospice companies… registered inside one single building in Van Nuys. One building. And 72 of those showed signs of fraud.

Nick Shirley went to that very area. He walked into a place called Miracle Healing Hospice that billed $1.3 million. Knocked on the door. Nobody home. Looked through the window. Completely empty. Not a single piece of furniture. $32,000 per patient billed to the taxpayers and there’s nothing inside. Nothing. He went to Guardian of Angels Hospice… $4.8 million billed. Couldn’t even find them. Went door to door looking for this company that collected nearly five million dollars and it didn’t appear to exist.

And here’s where it gets really interesting… the “I can’t believe this is real” part. Every single one of these empty buildings, these shell companies, these ghost operations… the parking lots were full of the most expensive cars you’ve ever seen. Brand new BMW M8 Competitions. Cybertrucks. $200,000 Maybachs. Mercedes after Mercedes after Mercedes. The fraudsters weren’t even trying to hide it. They were driving around in luxury vehicles paid for with stolen Medicare dollars while hardworking Californians can’t afford their rent.

Nick went to a place that teaches people how to open their own hospice. A consulting firm. In LA. You don’t need to be a doctor. You don’t need to be a nurse. You don’t need to be anything. Just get some stolen Medicare numbers from elderly people… which are worth more than credit card numbers now, everybody in the industry knows it… bill the government, and watch the checks roll in. A medical professional told Nick on camera that hospice fraud became a trend during COVID. People were building hospices and flipping them like real estate. Building them and selling them. Using your tax dollars. Quite honestly one of the most disgraceful things anyone has ever seen in this country.

And Gavin Newsom’s big response? He says he banned new hospice licenses in 2021. Incredible. He banned new licenses while 742 fraudulent operations kept running. That’s like locking the front door after the burglars moved in and set up a furniture store in your living room. His own state auditor told him in 2022… wrote him a letter, very direct, very clear… that California’s weak controls had created the opportunity for large-scale fraud and abuse. Stolen identities of medical personnel. Abnormally high rates of living patients being discharged. The whole system was rotten. And what did Newsom do? He blamed Trump. Always blaming somebody else. Never his fault. His spokesperson actually called Dr. Oz an idiot for pointing out the fraud. That tells you everything you need to know about Gavin Newsom’s priorities.

Meanwhile an adult daycare in LA billed $19.8 million. Nick went there at 1:30 in the afternoon. No adults present. The place looked like it was falling apart. They couldn’t even produce a brochure. Couldn’t even answer the phone. A voicemail box that was full. $19.8 million of your money.

California’s own Attorney General Rob Bonta had to admit it… called hospice fraud an epidemic. An epidemic. And this is Newsom’s guy saying this. The “Califraudia” report estimates total fraud waste and abuse across the state could hit $250 billion. Billions and billions and billions. The state auditor has been flagging Medi-Cal as high risk for mismanagement since 2007. Almost twenty years of warnings and nothing changed. By March 2025, Newsom’s healthcare department needed a $3.4 billion emergency loan. A week later they came back begging for another $2.8 billion. The state is hemorrhaging money and nobody at the top cares because nobody at the top is paying for it. You’re paying for it.

The DOJ has been arresting people. Good. Four California residents just got sentenced for a $16 million hospice fraud and money laundering scheme… sham companies, fake documents, stolen Medicare numbers, shell accounts. The Armenian Organized Crime strike force dismantled five hospices in LA. But these are drops in an ocean of fraud that Newsom watched grow for years and years and years while he was busy running around the country auditioning for President.

This is the man the Democrats want to put in charge of the whole country. The man who couldn’t find 742 fraudulent hospices in his own state. The man whose government kept sending checks to daycares with zero children. The man whose citizens are getting their Medicare numbers stolen so criminals can drive Maybachs. The man whose own auditor begged him to act and he ignored it.

Gavin Newsom didn’t build the Golden State. He built the fraud state. And now he wants your vote. Go look at what he did to California. Go look at those empty buildings billing millions. Go look at those children left unsupervised in apartment daycares. Go look at those parking lots full of luxury cars outside fake hospices.

And then ask yourself… do we really want this for America?

An unassuming office building on a side street in Los Angeles is being called a “ground zero” example of suspected, widespread hospice care fraud underway in California.

The Merabi Professional Medical Plaza, a 32,000-square-foot, stucco and glass building in the Van Nuys neighborhood of the LA’s San Fernando Valley is reportedly the home to 89 licensed hospice companies.

March 17, 2026 – Honestreporting.AI Labs track the Joe Kent/Tucker Carlson narrative in real time – findings should end debate

Joe Kent goes on Tucker Carlson. Within minutes — not hours, minutes — the same clip, same caption, same outrage floods hundreds of accounts simultaneously. http://HonestReporting.AI Labs tracked every amplification event in real time, and the data is damning.

The trigger quote — 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 — was clipped and posted across hundreds of accounts almost simultaneously. Not after it trended. During the broadcast. Real breaking news takes time to spread organically. This had a running start.

Who amplified it? Look at the coalition:

Russian state TV (RT).
Iranian state media through HispanTV.
Hamas-aligned Quds News Network.
Turkish state broadcaster TRT.
Sputnik Brasil.

And simultaneously — Jackson Hinkle, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Max Blumenthal.
Russia, Iran, Hamas, and MAGA dissidents.

All posting the same message. At the same time.

When does that happen naturally? It doesn’t.

The charts tell the story precisely. Within 2 to 4 hours of the Tucker broadcast, tracked amplification events spiked to 30 — dominated by MAGA dissident amplifiers and Pro-Palestinian/Islamist networks firing in parallel.

The second chart shows how far the narrative traveled from what Kent actually said. By the time the amplification cycle was complete, the message had escalated from Kent’s original claim all the way to “Israel controls America” — an approximately 85-90% departure from source material. That is not interpretation. That is narrative laundering.

The rollout wasn’t spontaneous. Kent resigned. Tucker booked him within hours. Real whistleblowers are chaotic. They call journalists from parking lots. They don’t have a media tour lined up before the ink dries on their resignation letter.

And here’s what got buried in all of it: from 2020 to 2024, Joe Kent publicly and repeatedly called for destroying Iran’s nuclear AND ballistic capabilities. That record was almost completely absent from the amplified conversation. Narrative laundering doesn’t only determine what to amplify. It determines what to erase.

The FBI was already investigating Kent. He resigned to control the narrative. The speed, the uniformity, and the foreign state amplification are not organic. This was a coordinated information operation — and the people pushing it included both foreign adversaries and Americans who should know better.

March 17, 2026 – National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent resigns, presumably over Iran war; FBI investigating him for possibly leaking classified info

JUST IN: President Trump responds to National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent RESIGNING over the war in Iran

“I always thought he was a nice guy, but I thought he was very weak on security. I didn’t know him well. But he seemed like a pretty nice guy. But when I read his statement, I realized it’s a good thing he’s out because he said Iran was not a threat.”

Kent said in his resignation letter: “As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.”

 

March 18, 2026

FBI just announced Investigation into Joe Kent for allegedly leaking classified information. This comes after Joe Kent rushed onto Tucker Carlson podcast to double down on his public challenge to President Trump regarding Iran.

Joe Kent appears on Tucker’s show on 3/18/2026 to discuss why we went to war with Iran.

Kent resigned Tuesday from his role as the nation’s top counterterrorism official, citing opposition to the U.S. war against Iran.

In a public statement, Kent said he “cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war,” arguing that Iran posed no imminent threat and that the conflict marked a break from the administration’s prior approach to avoiding prolonged wars in the Middle East.

A senior administration official previously told Fox News Digital that Kent was a “known leaker” who had been cut out of intelligence briefings months before his resignation.

It is unclear whether the FBI investigation is related to those concerns or to a separate matter. (Fox News, 3/18/2026)

So Joe Kent was reportedly under FBI investigation for leaking classified information before resigning — and he immediately sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson, who said days ago that he’s under investigation for his conversations with Iranian officials.

Who knows whether either claim is true?

What information was Kent accused of leaking — and to whom?

What exactly did Tucker say to Iranian officials?

Or are both men being targeted for opposing the war?

Or is none of this accurate, and neither is under investigation at all?

The reality is that nobody on the internet knows the full truth — but you’re about to see plenty of people speak with absolute certainty as if they do.

March 17, 2026 – US intel hid Chinese 2020 election meddling from Trump because they opposed his policies

Dr. Barry A. Zulauf (Credit: World Geostrategic Insights )

Dr. Barry A. Zulauf, a member of the Senior National Intelligence Service reported that others in the intelligence community said “I don’t want my intelligence going to the White House where it will be used by that vulgarian in the Oval Office to support policies against China with which I personally disagree.”

Analysts inside the U.S. intelligence community sought to conceal evidence of Chinese influence efforts from President Donald Trump during the 2020 election, with analysts saying they didn’t want their intel used by “that vulgarian in the Oval Office” to pursue policies toward China they personally disagreed with.

The revelation is found within a January 2021 report written by — and never before reported upon comments by — analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf, who conducted a review of the spy community’s handling of Russian versus Chinese meddling efforts during the 2020 election. Among his conclusions was that intelligence analysts downplayed China’s actions because they had disdain for the “vulgarian” Trump and did not want to support the policies and priorities of the Trump administration toward China with which they “personally disagree.”

Just the News reported this week that the U.S. intelligence community has known since early 2020 that Beijing also gained access to American voter registration data and used that information to conduct opinion analysis related to the presidential election between Trump and then-former Vice President Joe Biden.

Chinese government election influence efforts in the 2020 election

This is not the only piece of evidence pointing to Chinese government election influence efforts in the 2020 election. Although much about China’s activities in 2020 remains classified, Just the News conducted a thorough review of publicly-available intelligence assessments, federal indictments, foreign government warnings, and cybersecurity firm analyses.

There is credible evidence that Chinese government-linked cyber hackers and Chinese social media troll farms took aim at the U.S. presidential election in 2020 and sought to undercut Trump during his run against now-former President Biden. There are also indicators that Chinese intelligence and law enforcement agencies — China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) and its Ministry of Public Security (MPS) — also played a role in 2020.

Zulauf — a longtime intelligence officer — wrote in his January 2021 report: “Given analytic differences in the way Russia and China analysts examined their targets, China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference. These analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tended to disagree with the Administration’s policies, saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies.”

U.S. intel analysts downplayed China assessments to avoid helping Trump

Zulauf discussed his report on a podcast later that year, where he quoted an analyst working on Chinese interference efforts as having essentially said that “I don’t want my analysis going to the White House where that vulgarian … in the White House will use it to pursue policies toward China with which I personally disagree.”

An article in the Journal of Intelligence Conflict and Warfare recounted a 2023 speech by Zulauf, who said that the intelligence analyst was quoted as saying that “I don’t want my intelligence going to the White House where it will be used by that vulgarian in the Oval Office to support policies against China with which I personally disagree.”

“Dr. Zulauf went on to point out the various errors in this way of thinking — intelligence belongs to the community, not a single analyst, and further, while analysts are entitled to like or dislike particular leaders, they are not entitled to allow that to alter the intelligence products that they put forward,” the journal article said.

The review by Zulauf also found that allegations of Russian meddling and Chinese meddling were being measured based on differing standards, meaning Russia may have taken actions that were determined to be influence or interference efforts while, if and when China took the same or similar actions, those Chinese actions likely would not have been determined to be influence or interference efforts.

“Due to varying collection and insight into hostile state actors’ leadership intentions and domestic election influence campaigns, the definitional use of the terms ‘influence’ and ‘interference’ and associated confidence levels are applied differently by the China and Russia analytic communities,” Zulauf wrote in his report.

The ombudsman found that “the terms were applied inconsistently across the analytic community” and that “failing to explain properly these definitions is inconsistent with Tradecraft Standards.”

“ODNI officials engaging with policymakers said that these customers did notice the result, particularly differences in the volume, frequency, and confidence levels of the intelligence coming from the China and Russia analytic communities on activities that, from their perspective, were very similar in their potential effects,” Zulauf added.

The analytic ombudsman noted that multiple national intelligence officers wrote an “Alternative Analysis Memo” in October 2020 “which expressed alternative views on potential Chinese election influence activities.” Zulauf said that “these alternative views met with considerable organizational counter pressure” but that then-DNI and now-Director of the Central Intelligence Agency John Ratcliffe agreed with the dissenting alternative views which argued that China had in fact attempted to influence the 2020 election to undercut Trump’s candidacy.

March 17, 2026 – James O’Keefe exposes California elections fraud – Cash for Ballots

CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS FRAUD CASH FOR BALLOTS PART I: Homeless Bribed with Cash & Drugs In Exchange For Registering To Vote & Signing Election Petitions Caught On Tape Undercover On Skid Row In California.

“You can just put Pinocchio Lane.”

California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms. Many of the petitioners had no understanding of the petitions’ purpose they were advertising. Circulators also instructed individuals to use fake addresses. “Oh, you can just fake an address.”

Weingart Center, which received hundreds of millions in public funding, is on tape directing people to where the fraudulent petitioners are located, and directing homeless individuals to petitioners & coaching plausible deniability. “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’”

We encountered 28 instances of petitioners offering cash, cigarettes, and marijuana for signatures on petitions.

Weingart employees advised: “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’” All happening outside taxpayer-funded housing organizations. Weingart CEO earned $432,000 before resigning from the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency.

James O’Keefe and the OMG Team went undercover on Skid Row, posing as homeless individuals. On hidden cameras, petitioners admitted they are paid $7–$10 per signature, sometimes earning $1,000 or more per day, collecting signatures from individuals with minimal knowledge of what they were signing.

“$7 a signature, $5 a signature, $10 a signature.”

“We gon’ give you $2.”

Populus Inc., a political consulting firm, was circulating petitions funded by @Uber, @Delta, @United, and the American Hotel & Lodging Association (@AHLA). On camera, one petitioner said, “We have one that taxes billionaires 5%. One-time tax. 5% and that’s gonna go towards healthcare.” Other petitions sought to overturn LA’s $30 minimum wage for hotel and airline workers.

Paying per signature and encouraging fake addresses violates federal and state election law and is proof of fraud happening in California.

Weingart employees were caught directing the homeless to the location of the petitioners and coaching them on plausible deniability. Intake coordinator Jason Warren told an undercover journalist exactly where and when to find them:

“Most time they be right across the street, under that tree… Monday through Friday.”

In 2016, nine individuals were arrested on Skid Row for exchanging cash and cigarettes for signatures; in 2019 they were charged on 14 counts under the exact same California Elections Code section.

Yet when confronted, nearby LAPD officers dismissed the activity as “a civil lawsuit.”

“Paying per signature violates state election law and is evidence of election fraud in California,” the investigation concludes. On Skid Row, we captured conduct on tape that violates Federal Law 52 U.S. Code §10307 and state law California Election Code §18603.

Part II coming soon.

March 18, 2026 – Chris Wray and Chris Krebs lied to the American public for 6 years — They knew Iranians breached US election system in 2020

FBI Director Chris Wray and former CISA Director Chris Krebs hid the extent of the enormous Iranian election security breach from the American public until last month, four years after the 2020 election. (Credit: The Gateway Pundit)

In 2025, unsealed court documents completely redefined what we were told to believe about the 2020 US presidential election.

The election was billed by the Democrat Party, Joe Biden, the mainstream media, and former CISA Chief Chris Krebs as the ‘most secure election’ in US history.

Chris Krebs, the former CISA Director, testified before Congress on December 16, 2020, after he was fired by Donald Trump.

Recently, unsealed court documents first reported by The Gateway Pundit in October 2024, completely redefined what we were told to believe about the 2020 US presidential election.

The election was billed by the Democrat Party, Joe Biden, the mainstream media, and former CISA Chief Chris Krebs as the most secure election in US history.

Chris Krebs, the former CISA Director fired by Donald Trump, testified before Congress on December 16, 2020, after he was fired.

Krebs famously announced that day, “The 2020 election was the most secure in US history.”

WATCH:

But was 2020 really the most secure election in US history?

We now know definitively that Chris Krebs was lying when he made this announcement during congressional testimony in December 2020.

Today, nearly six years after the 2020 election, we have proof of a successful breach by one of America’s major enemies on our election infrastructure prior to Election Day and during early voting.

CISA officials released a report on October 30, 2020, JUST DAYS BEFORE the 2020 presidential election.

The report was never made public, and it omitted critical facts about a successful breach of a state’s election database days before the 2020 election.

Here is the CISA report, which was hidden for several years and discovered after investigative reporter Yehuda Miller obtained the information through a FOIA request earlier this year.

According to the CISA report from October 22, 2020:

SUBJECT: FBI Liaison Alert System (FLASH) – Indicators of Compromise Pertaining to Iranian Interference in the 2020 Presidential Election – TLP: WHITE

On 22 October 2020, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) published a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (Alert AA20-296B) warning that Iranian advanced persistent threat (APT) actors are likely intent on influencing and interfering with the US elections to sow discord among voters and undermine public confidence in the US electoral process.

APT actors are creating fictitious media sites and spoofing legitimate media sites to spread anti-American propaganda and misinformation about voter suppression.

The attached FLASH contains a list of indicators of compromise (IOCs) and additional threat information pertaining to a threat group, assessed to be located in Iran, conducting operations aimed at influencing and interfering in the 2020 US Presidential Election.

The October 22 alert referenced above can be found at the following URL: https://uscert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts/aa20-296b

Here is the report released on October 30, 2020, days before the US presidential election.

Thanks to Yehuda Miller for the FOIAed document.

We now know that this CISA report was completely dishonest and omitted critical facts.

We also know that Krebs and CISA lied about the security of the 2020 election in their Cyber Risk Summary, which was released after the election in 2021.

We know this for a fact because Krebs, Chris Wray, and CISA COMPLETELY OMITTED the fact that the Iranian regime successfully breached one state’s voter roll database and used the names, Social Security, and Driver’s License numbers to fill out UOCAVA or overseas ballot registrations!

This tiny fact was omitted from Kreb’s report, and Chris Wray and DOJ Chief Bill Barr ignored it! (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/18/2026)  (Archive)

March 18, 2026 – Biden’s CIA Assessment: “Traditional motherhood” & “homemaking” are white “Racially and Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism” (REMVE)

March 19, 2026 – FBI misled FISA court to spy on second Trump campaign adviser

Donald Trump and Walid Phares (Credit: public domain)

Carter Page wasn’t the only adviser from Trump’s first campaign wiretapped by the FBI. Walid Phares was electronically monitored for a 12-month period between 2017 and 2018, according to the Washington-based FBI agent who was assigned to investigate him as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion probe.

As in Page’s case, the bureau withheld evidence exonerating Phares from the court to secure surveillance authorization, according to newly declassified FBI documents.

“I had no idea any of this was happening,” Phares told RealClearInvestigations in an exclusive interview Wednesday night. “This is shocking because they told my lawyer that I was only a ‘witness’ and that they just needed some information.”

“But these were huge abuses that I can see now,” he added. Phares said he intends to sue the FBI and Justice Department for damages.

The 68-year-old Lebanese-American scholar said case agents and prosecutors grilled him for months, questioned his employer, and even went after his bank records. As a result, he said he lost his job at a university, his livelihood, and even his bank accounts and credit card after Wells Fargo cancelled them.

“It was like a disaster for me financially and physically,” he said. “I also lost my Fox News contract” as an expert on terrorism and the Middle East, which he had held since 2007.

Phares was not hired by the Trump administration, even though he had been expected to land a high-level foreign policy position. “They scared the agencies from me so I would have problems with (obtaining) a security clearance,” he said.

‘No Corroborating Facts’

Investigators could find “nothing” criminal on Phares during their probe, according to the lead case agent, and in fact, they concluded he was “honest.” Yet Mueller’s team continued to secretly spy on Phares – without providing the powerful federal spy court any of the exculpatory evidence that could clear Phares as required by law.

The agent told investigators in a separate 2020 internal FBI review that “there were no corroborating facts that tied Crosswind [the codename for Phares’ case] to certain facts that we thought were originally true,” according to a transcript of his testimony, released after more than five years of concealment.

He added that “nothing” collected from Phares’ communications under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, including phone messages and emails, “aided the investigation other than to prove the target was being honest with investigators,” who had interviewed him repeatedly.

Nonetheless, the FBI continued monitoring Phares as part of a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) investigation. He was never charged with any violations of the act. (Read more: RealClearInvestigations, 3/19/2026)  (Archive)

March 19, 2026 – Former FBI Director James Comey receives grand jury subpoena in the Justice Department’s Russiagate investigation

Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the Justice Department’s Russiagate investigation.

In July, it was reported that former FBI Director James Comey and John Brennan were under FBI investigation over their involvement in Russiagate.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred Brennan and Comey for prosecution last summer.

US Attorney in the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones is in charge of the investigation.

According to Axios and Fox News, Comey was issued a grand jury subpoena last week.

March 20, 2026 – Bagman and enabler of ‘Spygate’ and ‘Russiagate’ receives subpoena from Florida ‘conspiracy’ investigative grand jury

In the next few days, much more about the overall investigative review underway in Florida will begin to surface.  The review has been led by USAO Jason A. Reding Quiñones, a federal prosecutor for the Southern District of Florida.

As with all investigations containing multiple players and actors, the first investigative information is extracted from testimony by those furthest away from the principals, yet closest to the granular details of the events being reviewed.  The questioning then goes upstream, using information collected to assembly more specific questions as the principal players are approached.

The widest concentric circles are questioned first. Then, using the responses and investigative information from that circle, the questioning and inquiry goes to the next inner circle of participants. The information is assembled, and more pointed questions are then targeted to the next inner circle; the process continues until the core is questioned.

Beginning with the end in mind, the biggest challenge is knowing what the correct questions are to ask of those who were closest to the corrupt activity (the outer circle). Background research is critical – CTH of value. From those pointed questions you get answers. Then, next level of more specific questions get focus, and so on, and so on.

FLORIDA – Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in connection with a wide-ranging investigation being run by a Trump-appointed federal prosecutor in Florida, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News on Thursday.

The probe, which focuses on an earlier investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and other prosecutions related to President Donald Trump, is being led by Jason A. Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. The sprawling probe has been dubbed a “grand conspiracy” investigation by Trump allies.

An attorney for Comey did not have an immediate comment, while Quiñones’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (read more)

Please remember, there are two distinct and different aspects to the overall conspiracy and timeline.

There was surveillance of the 2016 Republican candidates by contractors working on behalf of the FBI who was institutionally collaborating with the Clinton campaign; that is known as “Spygate.”   There was then an FBI operation to target and eliminate the threat represented by the 2016 GOP primary winner, Donald Trump; that is known as “Russiagate.”

‘Spygate’ and ‘Russiagate’ are two distinctly different corrupt pathways that eventually merged due to common interests.

The Mueller investigation, an extension of Crossfire Hurricane (Russiagate) was used by Obama-era politicians and internal government officials as a mechanism to block President Trump from executing a divergent foreign policy.  The primary policy of focus was to protect the Iran deal.

Based on mounting evidence, a pattern in other international activities and U.S. participants, the Obama-Clinton-Kerry Iranian deal likely included a mechanism for return payments to U.S. officials following the release of billions in frozen Iranian asset funds and the loosening of sanctions – (ie. pallets of cash).  Qatar was the mediator/broker.

However, it is speculated, perhaps being currently evidenced, that return payments to the Obama team contained a timing mechanism and the quid-pro-quo payments were stopped after President Trump withdrew from the Iran deal and re-instituted sanctions.

Thus, a much larger background context exists for why the totality of the U.S. government and Intelligence Community opposed President Donald Trump.   Is it all about the money? Time will tell.  Current events may not be coincidental.

♦ September 2015 – Billionaire Paul Singer contracts with Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS for opposition research on candidate Donald Trump during 2016 GOP presidential primary.  Simpson prior work during time at Wall Street journal serves as reference.

♦ July 2018 – The DOJ informs the FISC that despite issues surfacing about the predicate of the FISA warrant they authorized against Carter Page for being an agent of a foreign power, everything was ok.  A week later, the DOJ then releases to the public the first FISA Title-1 search warrant ever seen, …

…the publicly released version of the FISA application is the exact copy of FISA that was contained in the FBI evidence file against James Wolfe.  The same exact document hand carried from the FISC to the SSCI on March 17, 2017, was the copy released by the DOJ in July 2018 – not the DOJ-NSD copy.  How did that happen?

♦ December 2018 – Despite the DOJ refusing to indict James Wolfe for leaking the Top-Secret Compartmented Intelligence Carter Page FISA application, and after the guilty plea was entered for lying to investigators, and while the Judge was considering Wolfe’s sentencing, in December of 2018, after the midterm election and under penalty of perjury, the USAO in Washington DC swears to the Judge in the case that James Wolfe leaked the FISA application.

Cover up much?

March 21, 2026 – Robert Mueller is dead

The Clinton exoneration FBI Team became the Trump investigation FBI Team (Crossfire Hurricane) – which then became the Robert Mueller FBI Team (exact same people, plus some additions) – which then became the J6 Investigation FBI Team (exact same people, plus some additions) – which then became the Jack Smith FBI Team (same exact people).  Not only was it one long continuum, but it was also the EXACT SAME PEOPLE.

Before there was the obvious cognitive decline of Joe Biden, there was the obvious cognitive incapacity of Robert Mueller.  However, both acuity compromises were ignored because the agenda the figureheads represented was more important than their obvious compromise.  We talked about it throughout the special counsel timeframe that held his name.

Robert Mueller was a figurehead with no structural input or control over the Trump-Russia special counsel probe.  Factually, Andrew Weissmann was in control over the special counsel investigation, albeit with daily support from the entire Lawfare network.  President Trump’s notice about Robert Mueller’s death is understandable:

I’ve always said to pay attention to the people in Washington DC, specifically the republicans, who claimed Robert Mueller was an honorable figure.  As soon as you hear that sentiment, you know that is a corrupt conniving bastard speaking.

Everyone in Washington DC knew what the role of Robert Mueller was during the first-term administration of Donald Trump.  No one in Washington DC did not know.  Anyone who says the Mueller motive was to investigate Trump-Russia is a deceptive liar.  They all knew what the goal of Mueller was.

The 2017 Mueller Timeline:

♦Sunday May 14th – James Comey transmitted copies of Memos 2, 4, and 6, and a partially redacted copy of Memo 7 to Patrick Fitzgerald, who was one of Comey’s personal attorneys.  Fitzgerald received the email and PDF attachment from Comey at 2:27 p.m. on May 14, 2017, per the IG report.

♦Monday May 15th, McCabe states he and Rosenstein conferred again about the Special Counsel approach. McCabe: “I brought the matter up with him again after the weekend.”

On this same day was when James Rybicki called SSA Whistleblower to notify him of Comey’s memos. The memos were “stored” in a “reception area” and in locked drawers in James Rybicki’s office.

♦Tuesday May 16th – Per the IG report: “On the morning of May 16, Comey took digital photographs of both pages of Memo 4 with his personal cell phone. Comey then sent both photographs, via text message, to his special government employee, Daniel Richman.  Richman’a job was to use the memo to leak to media.

Back in Main Justice at 12:30pm Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, Jim Crowell and Tashina Guahar are all part of this meeting.  I should note that alternate documentary evidence, gathered over the years, supports the content of this McCabe memo.  Including texts between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok:

[Sidebar: pay attention to the redactions; they were placed by DOJ officials in an effort to protect Rod Rosenstein for his duplicity in: (A) running the Mueller sting operation at the white house on the same day; (B) the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel, which was pre-determined before the Oval Office meeting.]

While McCabe was writing this afternoon memo, still May 16th, Rod Rosenstein took Robert Mueller to the ¹White House for a meeting in the oval office with President Trump and VP Mike Pence.

After six prior days of phone calls, emails and in person meetings, this visit to the White House was clearly Rod Rosenstein introducing Robert Mueller to the target of the investigation.  Rosenstein already knew he was going to appoint Mueller; and Mueller, along with the small group in the FBI, already knew Mueller was going to be appointed.

Later that night (May 16th), following the Mueller visit, there was a debriefing session back at Main Justice.  This evening meeting appears to be Lisa Page, Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe; along with Tashina Guahar again taking notes.

♦ Wednesday May 17th, 2017:  Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe go to brief the congressional “Gang-of-Eight”: Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Devin Nunes, Adam Schiff, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Richard Burr and Mark Warner.

… […] “On the afternoon of May 17, Rosenstein and I sat at the end of a long conference table in a secure room in the basement of the Capitol. We were there to brief the so-called Gang of Eight—the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate and the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. Rosenstein had, I knew, made a decision to appoint a special counsel in the Russia case.”

[…] “After reminding the committee of how the investigation began, I told them of additional steps we had taken. Then Rod took over and announced that he had appointed a special counsel to pursue the Russia investigation, and that the special counsel was Robert Mueller.” (link)

Immediately following this May 17, 2017, Go8 briefing, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein notified the public of the special counsel appointment.

According to President Trump’s Attorney John Dowd, the White House was stunned by the decision. [Link] Coincidentally, AG Jeff Sessions was in the oval office for unrelated business when White House counsel Don McGahn came in and informed the group.

Jeff Sessions immediately offered his resignation, and Sessions’ chief-of-staff Jody Hunt went back to the Main Justice office to ask Rosenstein what the hell was going on.

RUSSIAGATE – THEY HAD NOTHING – This investigative ‘small group’ were the people inside Main Justice (DOJ) and FBI headquarters who redacted the Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages; removed messages and communication antithetical to their goals; kept key documents and information away from congress; stalled any effort to expose the unlawful aspects of “SpyGate’ and the fraudulent foundation behind the Carter Page FISA application; and undermined any adverse discoveries in the leak investigations (ex. James Wolfe).

The DOJ/FBI investigative small group didn’t change when Mueller arrived, they just reorganized the focus of their effort based on lawfare leadership from Andrew Weissmann and new objectives.  Those same people who created the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy case of 2016, evolved into creating the Trump obstructing justice case of 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Everything Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein were doing in late 2017 and throughout 2018 was intended to drag-out the Russia conspiracy narrative as long as possible. There was really no Trump-Russia investigation taking place.

It was always the “obstruction” investigation that could lead to the desired result by Mueller’s team of taking down President Trump through evidence that would help Pelosi and Nadler achieve impeachment.  The “obstruction case” was the entirety of the case they were trying to make from May 2017 through to March 2019.

SPYGATE – Just as the New York Times reported, in its final days in office, the Obama Administration expanded the power of the National Security Agency (NSA) to share globally intercepted personal communication with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying any privacy protections.

The new rules were issued under section 2.3 of Executive Order #12333 after approval by two Obama Administration officials: Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of National Intelligence Director, James Clapper.

The new rules, which were issued in an unclassified document titled: “Procedures for the Availability or Dissemination of Raw Signals Intelligence Information by the National Security Agency (NSA),” significantly relaxed longstanding limits on what the NSA may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations.

These operations remain as largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. Surveillances include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls, and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches.

The changes initiated by the Obama Administration in its waning days empowered far more government agents and officials to search through raw intelligence data. As a direct consequence of the change in policy, that the prospect of intel leaks grew exponentially.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch signed the new rules permitting the NSA to disseminate raw signals intelligence information on January 3, 2017 after Director of National Intelligence James Clapper signed them on December 15, 2016.

The targeting of Donald Trump required surveillance and spying.

The surveillance of Donald Trump never stopped.

The aspect that changed was the team extracting the information.  Hence, (FBI) Raw NSA extraction => (FBI) Crossfire Hurricane => (FBI) Robert Mueller => (FBI) Impeachment => (FBI) Mar-a-Lago Raid => (FBI) Jack Smith.

My Thoughts…. Robert Mueller spent the last 8 years of his life slowly sliding into a very dark place.  He lost his ability to think, he lost his ability to communicate, he lost his ability to take care of himself, he lost his ability to walk, he lost all joy and happiness, he lost his ability to live.  His family was also dragged into a very dark and depressing place while they awaited his end-of-life process.  It wasn’t a fast death. That sounds like hell.

[FOOTNOTE: I have always wondered why no journalist has ever asked President Trump about the meeting with Robert Mueller, organized by Rod Rosenstein on the day before the special counsel was appointed.  How did Trump feel about Rosenstein when he realized the meeting with Mueller was a ¹set up? (or did he realize it?).]

March 22, 2026 – Loyola University Student is shot and killed by illegal alien from Venezuela

Another innocent young American woman has been murdered by one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens.

Very early Thursday morning, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed near campus in Chicago.

A masked gunman approached a group of students walking in Rogers Park and opened fire.

Gorman was shot in the head and died at the scene.

On Sunday it was confirmed that the masked gunman who killed Gorman is a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime.

Police took Jose Medina-Medina into custody.

Per Fox News reporter Bill Melugin: DHS confirms that the suspect in custody for murdering Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman in Chicago is a Venezuelan illegal alien who was caught & released at the border by the Biden administration in May 2023. DHS says he was also released from local custody after a shoplifting arrest in the sanctuary city of Chicago on June 19, 2023.

The Department of Homeland Security blasted the Biden Regime.

“Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.

“We are calling on Governor Pritzker and Chicago’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods,” the DHS said. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/22/2026)  (Archive)

March 23, 2026 – Arizona: Former Maricopa County Recorder under investigation for obstruction

Arizona lawmakers revealed during a committee hearing that Maricopa County’s former recorder, Stephen Richer, is being investigated for obstruction.

The investigation into Richer was disclosed during last week’s House Federalism, Military Affairs, & Elections Committee meeting. The committee discussed an investigation by the office of State Rep. John Gillette (R-LD30), chair of the committee, into Arizona’s voter registrations. The findings of that investigation were packaged as part of a criminal referral to the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

As part of his layout of the criminal referral packet, Gillette touched on an action by Richer in which the former recorder, while president of the Arizona Association of County Recorders (AACR) in 2023, advised other county recorders to not comply with a records request from Arizona lawmakers concerning the 2022 election.

“Stephen Richer telling recorders not to comply with the legislative public records request. That is not a glitch. That’s on purpose,” said Gillette.

State Rep. Rachel Keshel (R-LD17), vice chair of the committee, asked Gillette whether Richer reaching out to all of the county recorders qualified as obstruction. Keshel characterized Richer’s recent public engagements as a “CYA campaign.”

“Is there something there that he broke the law by telling other recorders to basically obstruct on that point? Is anything being looked into on that front?” asked Keshel.

Gillette disclosed that he discussed Richer’s actions with former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “her assistant,” and that Richer was being investigated for that communication with other recorders. (Read more: AZFreeNews, 3/22/2026)  (Archive)

March 22, 2026 – The taxpayer funded Nat’l Democratic Institute for Int’l Affairs (NDI) helps foreign countries set up elections; demands voter ID and proof of citizenship be required

Hello Representative Levin,

I’d like to introduce you to an organization called the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs.

NDI is one of the four core institutes of the National Endowment for Democracy, established by Congress in 1983. It is the Democratic Party’s official international arm. Its board members include Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, and Michael McFaul. Its previous chair was Madeleine Albright, who served until her death in 2022. Also on the board: Eric Kessler, founder of Arabella Advisors, the largest dark money network in Democratic politics.

NDI reported $181.5 million in revenue in fiscal year 2023, nearly all in government grants.

NDI’s mission, for four decades, has been to tell countries around the world how to run democratic elections. And what NDI consistently tells them, across dozens of countries, is that voter identification is a fundamental pillar of election integrity, and that proving citizenship is a basic prerequisite for participation.

Here is what NDI has demanded of other countries:

NDI’s foundational guide, Building Confidence in the Voter Registration Process (2001), describes voter ID systems as standard democratic infrastructure. It states that voter registries should contain “voters’ photographs and even their fingerprints” and that registered voters should be issued “a voter or other ID card that serves as proof of their right to vote.” NDI explains that “issuing ID cards, either national or voting, requires a second point of contact between election officials and voters, which introduces an additional safeguard into the system.” (pp. 10–11, 15)

NDI’s 2015 study of voter registration across the Middle East and North Africa goes further, laying out that voters must “prove their identity, essentially demonstrating that they are who they say they are” and must “affirm their citizenship and age.” (p. 11)

That same 2001 guide identifies married name changes as a routine voter roll maintenance challenge: “Election officials must update information about people who have moved or who have married and changed their surname.” NDI also notes that voter lists “may omit information about changes of address or name for those eligible people who have recently moved or married.” NDI’s recommendation is not to eliminate voter ID. It is to maintain clean, continuously updated voter rolls that accommodate name changes within the system.

In its 2009 Bangladesh report, NDI praised the country’s new photo-voter list and national ID card system, noting that the ID cards gave “a sense of empowerment and belonging to the disadvantaged and marginalized people of the country, particularly women.”

Read that again. NDI itself called voter identification empowering for WOMEN!

In every case, NDI’s position was identical: marriage-related name changes are a solvable administrative problem. The solution is better record-keeping and updated systems. Not fewer safeguards. Not the elimination of voter ID.

Your party’s own international arm has already solved the problem you bring up. The answer is: maintain the rolls. Update the records. Issue the IDs. Accommodate name changes within the system, don’t use them as a reason to have no system at all.

The exact opposite of what you push here – refusing to clean voter rolls.

By NDI’s own standards, by the standards of your own international soft power branch, YOUR position is the anti-feminist position.

The SAVE America Act asks Americans to do less than what NDI demands of Nicaragua, less than what NDI praises in Morocco, and far less than the biometric fingerprint-and-facial-recognition system NDI supervised in Nigeria. Eighty-four percent of Americans support photo ID to vote. Two-thirds of Democrats support it. Jimmy Carter’s own 2005 bipartisan commission recommended it.

You voted no. Your party’s international arm, funded with taxpayer money, chaired by your party’s former Senate leader (Tom Daschle), staffed by your party’s most prominent voting-rights advocate, says yes. For everyone else.

NDI’s guides are publicly available on their website. You might consider reading them before you spout mindless drivel to protect your own grift.

March 23, 2026 – Part 1 “House of Singham”: Neville Singham’s mega-exposure

March 23, 2026 – John Brennan’s former Chief of Staff during Russiagate, turns CEO vying for Dept. of War contracts

John Brennan’s former Chief of Staff At The CIA During “Russiagate” Is Now Sneakily Trying To Acquire Government Defense Contracts Under Trump’s 2nd Term🚨

Cc: @POTUS @DeptofWar @SecWar @PeteHegseth

@Bloomberg just dropped a glowing puff piece on Brian Carbaugh, portraying him as some heroic “tech-savvy spy” transitioning from the CIA to CEO of Andesite, a Virginia-based data analytics (cybersecurity/AI SOC) startup.

The article, which was followed by Brian Carbaugh’s Bloomberg TV appearance, hype his journey from his time as an undercover spy in the Middle East to now working in boardrooms, raising capital, and building a company with “human-centered” AI for security.

See archived article here.

Carbaugh wasn’t just any CIA officer. He served as Chief of Staff to John Brennan, the former CIA Director under Barack Hussein Obama who orchestrated and pushed the entire Russia collusion hoax against President Trump.

Brennan’s team, including key staff like Carbaugh, played central roles in the weaponization of intelligence to undermine Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign and presidency with spying, leaking, and pushing the bogus Steele dossier narrative that wasted millions of taxpayer dollars and divided the country.

Now, Carbaugh is running Andesite, which is actively pursuing government contracts. Shockingly, under the Trump administration, Andesite has achieved FedRAMP High “In Process” status to sell into federal agencies, and they are now positioning themselves to receive DoW/intel community work and contracts. @DeptofWar

Source

A company led by someone tied to one of the biggest political scandals and abuses of power in modern history wants access to taxpayer-funded contracts and sensitive government data.

Brian Carbaugh shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near federal contracts. People involved in the Russia collusion hoax—whether directly or as senior staff to its architects—should face permanent bans from government work, security clearances, or any role involving public funds/intel.

This is the Deep State rewarding its own. We must end the culture in Washington DC of engaging in politicized intel ops and then turning that abuse of power into lucrative startup deals from the very government they once manipulated.

America deserves better than handing the keys and massive amounts of money to more Defense contractors within John Brennan and Barack Hussein Obama’s inner circle.

How about no contracts, no clearances, and no more second chances for those who abused power and engaged in a coup against President Trump, a sitting US president?

Secretary of War Hegseth @PeteHegseth should block Andesite from obtaining any @DeptofWar contracts!

March 23, 2026 – About Data Republican exposing the Deep State…and to those who refuse to see it

I am a huge Data Republican (small r) (“DR”) fan. I know many of you are as well.

But I’m not sure everyone fully understands the sheer bravery, brilliance and audacity of this deaf every-woman.

You see, the government you elect is not what actually governs you.

For every area of government (no matter how specialized or arcane), there are powerful lobbying groups, think-tanks, non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”), specialized media outlets, university-sponsored centers and other ostensibly “independent” organizations that act and behave as an unaccountable form of government outside the reaches of the electoral process. While these organizations claim to act in the public interest, each and everyone of them is a self-serving oligarchy that is designed solely to promote the interests of those on the inside–genuine public interest be damned.

This is America of course, and freedom of speech and freedom of association are fundamental to our freedoms. However, over many decades, these organizations have found “legal” ways to obtain trillions of your taxpayer dollars in the form of “grants” for “studies,” “policy symposiums” and all manner of other taxpayer-funded activities designed specifically to circumvent the policies the American people VOTED FOR and to perpetuate policies and activities that the average American has explicitly rejected.

These activities occur on both the Left and the Right, of course, but over time they have become the near exclusive domain of the Left. These organizations serve as taxpayer/Soros-funded, income-generating activities for Leftists whenever they are out of power, and if/when Leftists seize control of the Presidency or Congress, these organizations are the proverbial bullpens from which powerful Leftists full of the ideas you thought you once eliminated can storm right back into the actual process of governance, implementing all of those dark and mysterious policies that your tax dollars were secretly funding while the Leftists were otherwise off howling in the wilderness.

Call it the Deep State. Call it unconstitutional. Call it theft of your hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Call it the evil of the Soros family. Call it what ever you will, but know this—it is a monstrous Leviathan sitting right outside the scope of your votes, dedicated to negating your votes at your own expense, in the most diabolical manner possible.

It is the state outside the state. It is self-serving. It does not care about you. It only cares about itself. And its power is VAST.

You see it right here on X—you see the swarms of fire ants that come spilling out with destruction in mind whenever anyone uncovers the anthill they are lurking under.

And right at the heart of that is our hero, DR.

I have been actively following politics virtually my entire life, and never before has there been anyone quite like DR. Through dispassionate data analysis, the smart use of AI and a relentless drive for fairness and justice, DR has done more to shine a light on the nature of this extra-governmental Leviathan than any other person I can ever recall.

For her efforts, she has been doxxed by a mendacious Rolling Stone article. She has endured a concerted effort to destroy her husband’s totally unrelated business. She and her husband have received LITERALLY THOUSANDS of death threats. She and her family had to go into hiding.

An ordinary woman would have backed down in fear.

But not DR. They just made her mad. And an angry genius is an enemy no one wants to face. She still stares them down, day in and day out.

Her book will be out soon. Buy it. Buy copies for your friends. Buy copies and leave them on street corners and airport tables. AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH. DR’s book may well end up being the most important and influential American book on politics since “Common Sense.”

If America is going to survive, we must ALL shine a bright light on this extra-governmental Leviathan, grab a hold of its fangs, and drain the venom out of them.

This is not playtime people. This is life and death. We glorify the warrior who does great deeds on the battlefield, as we should. But know that bravery comes in many forms, and as DR has stood in the fire and endured real threats to her life and existence, her audacious bravery is every bit as real as those heroes we see being decorated by the President.

Right now, in the USA, no unelected person is doing more to ensure freedom than Data Republican. You can support her by subscribing to her account, but you can also support her by being as brave as she is.

I aspire to maybe show such bravery myself some day. We all should aspire to that.

One day she will earn the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Together we can defeat The Beast.

CP, Bennett’s still playing the “just give me one example” game like it’s 2016 and nobody’s mapped the NGO blob yet.

DR has dropped truckloads of receipts—taxpayer-funded grant networks, revolving-door personnel spreadsheets, 501(c)(3) money-laundering diagrams, AI-assisted org charts showing how the same handful of left-leaning foundations & “non-profits” staff entire shadow cabinets whenever Dems lose power. Not to mention how the money is distributed.

No one needs to be spoon-fed anything from her buffet of data. All this fool needs to to is scroll her feed for five minutes (which I just did) and he would see the whole monster laid bare: Atlantic Council, Aspen Institute ecosystem, New America, endless “democracy” NGOs that somehow always end up pushing censorship, open borders, or climate lockdowns while cashing seven- & eight-figure government checks.

The reason this fool or any other can’t see a “Deep State” example is the same reason fish don’t see water—it’s the entire environment they’re swimming in. DR turned on the lights. Instead of thanking her (or at least engaging honestly), he’s doing the classic lib or bot routine: demand proof, ignore the mountain when it’s handed to you, then claim it doesn’t exist.

Cynical you are 100% right: her timeline is the proof. He and everyone who doubts anything that DR says or presents should read her timeline instead of demanding someone hold their hand through it. The data doesn’t care about anyone’s incredulity.

Keep going, CP and DR—because as we are seeing, the swarms are only get angrier as the map gets more and more accurate.

March 23, 2026 – Miranda Devine: We’re still learning the full rot of the Russiagate scandal

(…) Independent journalist Catherine Herridge’s searing interview with longtime Trump ally Michael Caputo last week gives you a glimpse into the Kafkaesque nightmare he endured at the hands of Mueller and his henchmen, such as Andrew Weissman, Brandon Van Grack, Zainab Ahmad, Aaron Zelinsky and Walter Giardina.

The FBI investigation into Caputo only ended after he made a personal appeal to Trump last December, he says.

There are so many others like Caputo who deserve accountability.

First come the revelations. Gradually, we are learning more details about the unprofessional atmosphere in the Mueller office.

Walter Giardina (Credit: public domain)

One of the central players was Giardina, a “very liberal” FBI agent who was fired from the bureau last year, according to new insights from a colleague who worked with him on the Mueller probe.

Giardina, who performed financial tasks in the special counsel office, was outspokenly biased against Trump, was convinced the lurid allegations in the discredited Steele dossier were true, and believed the president was a Russian agent, said his former colleague, who has been interviewed by the FBI.

“Walter Giardina was very liberal in his politics and very biased in his discussions about political matters and in how he felt about people in the Trump administration,” said the unnamed agent.

“Giardina was convinced this [Russia collusion] was the biggest investigation in the bureau and was a true believer. Giardina read and believed the Steele dossier.”

The “Steele dossier” was a Hillary Clinton campaign smear sheet concocted by British former spy-for-hire Christopher Steele that falsely alleged Trump had participated in “golden showers” with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel and was being blackmailed by Vladimir Putin.

These new revelations about Giardina’s anti-Trump hostility confirm previous claims by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that he was the FBI’s “Agent Zero,” who kept popping up in numerous anti-Trump operations.

Giardina played a “significant role” in the prosecution of Trump advisers Peter Navarro, Dan Scavino and Roger Stone, the Hillary Clinton cases, and in various “Get Trump” operations such as Arctic Frost, Crossfire Hurricane — and Mueller’s investigation, for which he received an award.

Grassley last year wrote to AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, providing whistleblower allegations of Giardina’s “misconduct while on the taxpayers’ dime that ought to be investigated.”

The fact that Giardina harbored animosity toward Trump and his allies comes as no surprise to one of his victims, Navarro, a trade adviser to Trump in both presidencies.

Giardina arrested Navarro at Reagan Airport in Washington, DC, in 2022 as he was about to board a plane.

“He wouldn’t let me call a lawyer,” Navarro recalls bitterly, after spending four months in prison in 2024 for failing to comply with subpoenas from Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 star chamber.

“He put me in leg irons for a misdemeanor. He perp-walked my wife.”

“Giardina is the Forrest Gump of anti-Trumpism in the deep state, and he needs to be held accountable.

“He’s the single most important witness to uncover the orchestrated attack on Donald Trump and his lieutenants.”

Navarro’s assessment appears to be buttressed by the new recollections provided by Giardina’s former Mueller colleague.

Giardina has retired into obscurity, but he just might be drawn into the “grand conspiracy” investigation led by US Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones in the Southern District of Florida.

March 24, 2026 – NJ Governor visits mosque run by a radical imam convicted of funneling money to Hamas

New Jersey’s Democratic governor, Mikie Sherrill, who ran as a “moderate,” visited a local mosque on Friday whose cofounder was convicted of funneling money to Hamas.

She met with a cleric who has called for a “new intifada” and faced deportation proceedings over his own alleged ties to the terror group, @chuckrossdc reports.

Sherrill, sporting a head covering, visited the Islamic Center of Passaic County for Ramadan services, photos posted to social media show.

She met with Imam Mohammad Qatanani and described the mosque as a “community with the five pillars of Islam that is constantly looking to do good works.”

An Israeli jury convicted him in 1993 of being a member of Hamas, according to court filings from the Department of Homeland Security, prompting federal officials to file several deportation cases against him.

The mosque’s cofounder, Mohammad El-Mezain, was convicted in 2009 of funneling money to Hamas through the Holy Land Foundation.

March 24, 2026 – Government and university officials testify about espionage threats on college campuses

Government officials, university officials, including University of Michigan interim President Domenico Grasso, and a Stanford University student who has accused China of espionage on campus, testified at a House Education and Workforce Committee hearing on national security threats on college campuses. Topics included regulating foreign influence on college campuses, securing university research and intellectual property from foreign adversaries, efforts to lure university students and researchers to adversarial nations, and reporting requirements for foreign gifts and contracts.

The Chinese Spy Pipeline at the University of Michigan is SO BAD that multi-prong federal investigations are underway — and Congress is now fully involved

The worst part? UMich Interim President Domenico Grasso didn’t even care to look into the Camp Grayling spying incident. “They are just undergrads”

Watch him admit this to Congress last week
Why won’t UM do a full audit of compromised research and IP?

Not after Camp Grayling Chinese spying
Not after Detroit airport bio-smuggling
Not after the researcher dead post-FBI questioning

Instead, UM’s own union tells suspected spies: DO NOT cooperate with law enforcement

Taxpayer-funded treason on Michigan soil. Shut it down. #UMich #ChinaThreat #NationalSecurity

Same UMich. Same Chinese nationals. How many MORE red flags?

5 Chinese UM students (Shanghai Jiao Tong spy pipeline) caught at Camp Grayling photographing military vehicles, classified gear & Taiwanese training exercises. Lied to feds, deleted WeChat evidence.

March 24, 2026 – Plaintiffs win the Missouri vs Biden censorship lawsuit by a Consent Decree

Senator Eric Schmitt (Credit: public domain)

We just won Missouri v. Biden.

As Missouri’s Attorney General, I sued the Biden regime for brazenly colluding with Big Tech to silence Missouri families — censoring the truth about COVID, the Hunter Biden laptop, the open border, and the 2020 election. They tried to turn Facebook, X, YouTube, and the rest into their private speech police, labeling dissent “misinformation” while they pushed their narrative on the American people.

Today, after years of unrelenting litigation, we deep state into a historic 10-year, court-enforceable Consent Decree. It directly binds the Surgeon General, the CDC, and CISA: no more threats of legal, regulatory, or economic punishment. No more coercion. No more unilateral direction or veto of platform decisions to remove, suppress, deplatform, or algorithmically bury protected speech.

Missouri struck first—and Missouri won big.

This is the first real, operational restraint on the federal censorship machine. It locks in the First Amendment principle we fought for: modern technology doesn’t erase your rights, and government labels don’t strip speech of protection. The deep state just got checked.

For every working Missouri family tired of being silenced by their own government: this victory is yours. The heartland fought back, and the heartland delivered.

March 24, 2026 – John Brennan on MS Now: “Well, I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump”

It’s beyond parody that a former CIA director could be so out of touch, simply because he disliked an election outcome. This was a gathering of the so-called ‘morons’ on MS Now—true, that’s often the case, but this time, it was a particular brand of idiocy. They had John Brennan, Obama’s former spy chief, who arguably went rogue during the Russia investigation, claiming he would trust Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, over Donald Trump.

John, are we experiencing dementia, or are you just getting your shots in before your probable indictment for giving false testimony about the Russiagate hoax, especially regarding the Steele dossier?

Trump launched Operation Epic Fury almost a month ago, where we’ve destroyed Iran’s navy, its nuclear weapons ambitions, and the core of its political and military leadership. The cream of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is gone. The Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is dead, and his son is pretty much half dead. Its ballistic missile capability has been severely degraded; its infrastructure and manufacturing base are being dismantled. This regime will collapse. But there’s been a pause as talks reportedly resumed on a new deal between the US and Iran.

“Well, I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump, because he could not acknowledge the truth even when it—he’s slapped in the face with it repeatedly,” said Brennan on MS Now.

March 25, 2026 – Minnesota election Judge pleads guilty to letting unregistered voters cast ballots in 2024 election

Judge Timothy Michael Scouton (Credit: Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office)

In another devastating blow to the Democrats’ endless claims that there’s no election fraud, a Minnesota election judge has now pleaded guilty to a felony for deliberately allowing unregistered voters to cast ballots on Election Day.

Timothy Michael Scouton, 65, of Nevis, Minnesota, the head election judge in rural Badoura Township, Hubbard County, admitted in court on Monday that he allowed 11 unregistered individuals to vote without meeting the most basic legal requirements.

Scouton was responsible for ensuring that all voting procedures complied with Minnesota law.

Instead, prosecutors say he accepted ballots from voters who had not completed legally required registration forms, a fundamental safeguard in the election process.

The Gateway Pundit reported in 2024 that the investigation was initiated after Hubbard County Auditor Kay Rave discovered discrepancies in the election materials returned by Scouton.

Among the ballots and documents was a glaring omission: no completed voter registration forms for the 11 individuals who had reportedly cast ballots, according to KSTP.com.

According to court filings, Scouton underwent both basic election judge training and head judge training earlier this year.

On November 7, Rave alerted authorities after discovering that the required registration documentation for the 11 individuals was missing.

Scouton was then arrested and charged with two felonies for this outrageous scheme.

Scouton ultimately admitted in court this week that he allowed the votes to be cast without proper registration, acknowledging that his actions violated the law. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/25/2026) (Archive)

March 25, 2026 – The NSA intercepted Ukraine government messages with USAID in Kiev, discussing plot to route money to Biden re-election

The “narrative” here is a classic case of alleged foreign election interference via U.S. foreign aid — but with the roles reversed from the 2016 Russia story. According to the Just the News report (published March 25, 2026), U.S. intelligence (primarily NSA) intercepted communications in late 2022 involving Ukrainian government officials and unnamed U.S. personnel connected to USAID’s office in Kyiv. The alleged scheme used a planned “clean energy” and infrastructure project in war-torn Ukraine as a front: hundreds of millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars would flow through the project, with ~90% allegedly diverted back to the United States via opaque, hard-to-trace subcontracts to benefit the DNC and Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign.

The declassified intelligence summary (obtained by Just the News) describes the plot in those terms. Officials who reviewed the files say the Biden-era IC flagged the intercepts but showed little follow-up or “curiosity” about what would constitute serious foreign meddling in a U.S. election. Gabbard’s team found no record of a substantive investigation, and they assess the communications were not Russian disinformation. Gabbard’s Actions As DNI, Tulsi Gabbard directed USAID to review its records for any matching contracts, disbursements, or subcontracting patterns that might show the plan was executed. She is also considering a criminal referral to the FBI. President Trump reposted the story, amplifying it. This fits a broader pattern of skepticism about Ukraine aid accountability during the Biden years. Billions flowed with limited real-time oversight; critics long argued some money was recycled into U.S. political or contractor ecosystems. Past inspector general reports found no massive diversion of military aid, but this intercept focuses on a specific alleged “clean energy” channel with deliberate untraceability built in. Caveats and ContextThis remains allegations based on raw intercepts of discussions — not yet proven execution or convictions.

No major legacy outlets (CNN, NYT, WaPo) have broken their own independent reporting or detailed fact-checks on this specific memo as of March 26, 2026. Coverage so far is concentrated on conservative-leaning sites (Just the News, PJ Media, Newsmax) and international wires.

It directly inverts the 2016–2017 “Russia helped Trump” narrative that dominated media and led to years of investigations. Here, the claim is Ukraine (with alleged U.S. help) schemed to help Biden against Trump using American aid money.

Broader Ukraine aid debates have included earlier unproven claims of large-scale laundering; official audits have generally pushed back on the most sweeping versions, citing oversight mechanisms.

The story is moving fast on X and right-leaning media, with calls for full transparency on USAID contracting during that period. If USAID’s review turns up matching paper trails (or a lack thereof), it could escalate quickly — potentially leading to referrals, congressional hearings, or deeper audits of 2022-era aid flows. This is consistent with Gabbard’s pattern since taking office: aggressive declassification on past intelligence controversies (including her prior releases on 2016 Russia-related docs). Whether this particular intercept leads to concrete evidence of execution or remains a “discussed but not actioned” plot will determine how big it gets.

March 25, 2026 – House Intel Committee releases hidden transcript of Inspector General Michael Atkinson

For the past several years I have been advocating for ‘sunlight as the best disinfectant.’ Since September of 2025 I have been working through a painfully slow and convoluted process to share research, assist truth tellers and guide those who have the authority to deliver the sunlight. Today, I can happily report on progress.

In 2019 an impeachment effort against President Trump was triggered when a member of the National Security Council named Alexander Vindman coordinated with a member of the National Intelligence Council named Eric Ciaramella to fabricate a false claim that President Trump leveraged his power and authority to demand Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy release information on Joe and Hunter Biden’s corrupt financial dealings in Ukraine.

At the time of the 2019 impeachment construct Eric Ciaramella was working for the CIA as an analyst within the National Intelligence Council (NIC).

Two years prior to the 2019 impeachment construct, in January 2017, the same CIA analyst, Eric Ciaramella, had worked on the fraudulent Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) at the behest of CIA Director John Brennan.

[SIDEBAR: In 2025 Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, working with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, removed the NIC from inside the CIA.  To provide greater overall transparency within the intelligence community, the National Intelligence Council was moved into the purview of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)].

Key point: Eric Ciaramella was one of the key analysts who constructed the fraudulent ‘Russian interference ICA’ (2017) and later the fraudulent impeachment effort (2019).  Eric Ciaramella became the “anonymous CIA whistleblower” in the 2019 impeachment effort.

Before 2019, CIA analysts weren’t allowed to anonymously make claims against political officials. Because of the sensitive information they handled, any allegation of wrongdoing based on intelligence had to be made with their name attached.

Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson changed or modified the ICIG rules permitting Ciaramella to remain anonymous and make a claim that ultimately led to an impeachment effort.

Eric Ciaramella allegedly fabricated intelligence information, shared it with Congress and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), and then remained anonymous. HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff was said to have assisted him.

On October 4, 2019, as part of the House impeachment inquiry, Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson gave closed-door testimony to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) as part of their impeachment investigation. One of the key questions to ICIG Atkinson surrounded the authority of his office changing the CIA whistleblower rules that permitted Eric Ciaramella to remain anonymous.

During later questioning by then-Congressman John Ratcliffe, as part of the House impeachment effort, it came to light that Inspector General Michael Atkinson testified CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella, the anonymous ‘whistleblower’, had lied about key details when questioned by Atkinson. WATCH VIDEO: 

(The look on Dan Goldman’s face during that questioning was both priceless and insufferable. John Ratcliffe is now CIA Director)

Because the anonymous whistleblower complaint by Ciaramella was the cornerstone of the impeachment effort, Chairman Adam Schiff sealed the transcript of ICIG Atkinson testimony, classifying it under the guise of national security interests and burying it in the HPSCI control system.

It’s worth reemphasizing that Eric Ciaramella was both the analyst behind the disputed 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment for Director Brennan and, later in 2019, involved in the contested impeachment effort. Both operations involved impeding and targeting President Donald Trump.

If congress, or more importantly the American public, had known CIA Analyst Eric Ciaramella was both the key author of the fraudulent 2016 ICA and the later 2019 CIA complaint, it’s doubtful any impeachment effort would have moved forward.

Inside the Intelligence Community oversight system, the Ciaramella connection to both IC operations could have been made.  His anonymity as a whistleblower served a purpose.  [DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s 2025 decision to remove the National Intelligence Council from behind the curtain of the CIA is additionally supported with this hindsight.]

The transcript of Inspector General Michael Atkinson’s testimony becomes a key document to release because at its core we know that Atkinson testified that Ciaramella lied.  The Ciaramella lie is at the heart of the impeachment attempt.

Don’t get lost in the details or the politics of this.  When you peel back all the layers of DC, at its epicenter this was an operation to impeach a sitting President that came from within the CIA, and it almost succeeded. {GO DEEP}

When a top administration intelligence official, holding what I believe to be the best possibility of making a difference, reached out, I began the assist by citing specific documents that would reveal a much bigger story.  The Atkinson transcript was one of those documents.

I have outlined how the silo system is constructed to intentionally impede or stop review. Adam Schiff isn’t stupid. He knew what he was doing and how to use the separation of powers for his purposes.  The executive branch would not easily be able to reach into the legislative branch and extract information.  That’s why then HPSCI Chairman, Impeachment Chairman and now Senator Adam Schiff buried the Atkinson transcript in the vault of the House Intelligence Committee.

The process.

♦ First, you need a republican President in the White House √. Second, you need an aligned Intelligence Community DNI √, and third you need a Republican controlled HPSCI √:

[¹] • To extract the transcript the Executive would first need to understand its value. • Then the Executive would need to know where it was. • Then the Executive would need a qualified stakeholder, with appropriate clearances, to request to review the transcript in the HPSCI secure compartmented intelligence facility (scif).  • If the HPSCI approved, the Executive would be given an appointment date to read it (no notes, no copying, just reading).  • Then, after reading, the Executive stakeholder would then need to request the HPSCI Chair and Ranking Member for a classified copy.  • The Chair and Ranking Member would need to agree to the value of the sunlight on the Legislative Branch controlled information. • To get a copy the entire House Intelligence Committee would need to vote on the release to the Executive.  • The vote would need to be scheduled on the committee calendar.  • A HPSCI vote would then take place:

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence held a business meeting to consider multiple Committee actions. During the business meeting, the Committee voted in favor of releasing two transcripts from 2019 hearings with the former Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson. The hearings were held to examine Atkinson’s role in an alleged whistleblower complaint, which ultimately led to Democrats’ first impeachment efforts against President Trump in December 2019. One transcript would be released to the ODNI for classification review, and then subsequently released to the public by the Committee with the second unclassified transcript.

“The great deal of widespread speculation about the Atkinson classified hearing transcript is indicative of the American people’s complete and warranted mistrust of the Intelligence Community,” said Chairman Crawford. “In far too many instances, the IC hides behind the veil of overclassification. Sometimes sunlight is the best disinfectant. As part of the Committee’s continued effort to balance the transparency the American people deserve and the need to protect sensitive national security information, we hope that the release of these transcripts allows the American people to make their own determinations. As Chairman, I remain committed to ensuring this Committee, where possible, is transparent as the IC works to rebuild trust with the American people.”

The transcripts will be posted on the Committee website once they undergo the standard classification review with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.  (source)

The HPSCI has voted to release the Atkinson Transcript.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will now walk the unhidden transcript through the declassification process. The fastest way is through President Trump’s office.   Hopefully the redactions will be minimal.  Then we will all get to see it.

This has been a long, frustrating and complicated process – but we have succeeded.

FINAL POINT: You can tell this is a long arduous process. However, once the process begins, you’ll note that certain tripwires are crossed, and people in/around DC find out what you are doing.  Yes, DC ‘interests’ realized months ago that Tulsi Gabbard was on the trail of this transcript.

Now do the recent attacks against DNI Tulsi Gabbard gain context?

March 26, 2026 – Mark Warner: “Noncitizen voting is extraordinarily rare – The SAVE America Act is a total sham”

Speaking of “problems that are not real…”

Weren’t you part of the “Gang of Eight,” who were pushing the Trump Russian collusion hoax?

Or was that a different Mark Warner?

“The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election said Sunday that lawmakers have found “enormous evidence” of possible collusion between President Trump’s orbit and Russians during that election.”
Appearing on “Meet the Press,” Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., disagreed with the assertion by his Republican counterpart on the committeethat congressional investigators have found nothing “that would suggest there was collusion.”

“But Warner made it clear that he’s seriously concerned about a possible link between the Russians and Trump’s allies and campaign apparatus.
“I’m going to reserve judgment until I’m finished, but there’s no one who can factually say there isn’t plenty of evidence of collaboration or communication between the Trump Organization and Russians,” Warner said.
“I have never in my lifetime seen a presidential campaign, from a person of either party, have this much outreach to a foreign country and a foreign country that the intelligence community [says], and our committee has validated, intervened massively in our election and intervened with an attempt to help one candidate, Donald Trump, and hurt another, Hillary Clinton.”

https://nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/warner-enormous-evidence-contacts-between-trump-campaign-russia-n978651

The real question is this Senator:

Did you collude with McCain, Schiff, Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Comey, Clapper and Christopher Steele, to frame a duly elected president?

Did you participate in a coup and treason?

Are you an enemy combatant?

March 26, 2026 – Tim Walz sues Trump administration over ICE-involved shootings – Builds case with leftist nonprofits and the UN

The State of Minnesota has filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration in its ongoing attempt to investigate ICE and CBP agents who were involved in shootings during law enforcement activities.

The incidents include the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two crazed leftists who attacked ICE agents, and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a criminal illegal alien who was wounded while attacking ICE agents in northern Minneapolis in January.

Minnesota is suing for evidence and information on the shootings, for which the FBI previously denied state investigators access.

On Thursday, Tim Walz discussed the lawsuit on MSNow, revealing that he is working with the American Civil Liberties Union, pro-immigrant groups, and even the UN to build his case, while accusing the Trump Administration of human rights abuses.

He further trashed President Trump, stating that he will continue fighting for so-called justice until “the final days of this administration and beyond.”

March 26, 2026 – Whistleblower exposes massive election fraud ring in CA – State supplies stolen names, gangbangers, rigged petitions, paid homeless signatures

(…) In Part II of the “Cash for Ballots” series, O’Keefe and Higby captured hidden camera footage of petitioners paying desperate homeless individuals $2–$3 per forged signature to impersonate real registered voters using pre-printed lists of actual California voter names and addresses.

(…) During an interview with Alex Jones, investigative journalist James O’Keefe said that he and associate Cam Higby have obtained whistleblower testimony from within a Democrat Party–affiliated operation.

In an exclusive sit-down interview posted on YouTube on Thursday, Cam Higby spoke with an anonymous member of the illicit operation, who admitted EVERYTHING on tape.

According to Higby, “the gangbangers obtain the lists of names from the registration office and then distribute the names to the petitioners on the streets.”

(…) Here is how the massive fraud ring operates, according to the whistleblower:

Bribing the Homeless: Petition circulators are illegally paying homeless drug addicts a couple of bucks to sign ballot initiatives and register to vote.

Widespread Identity Theft: Because valid signatures require registered voters, the fraudsters use preprinted lists of random people’s names. The homeless individuals are then paid to forge signatures using these stolen identities.

The “75% Rule”: According to the whistleblower, circulators only get their full payout if at least 75% of their signatures come from verified registered voters, heavily incentivizing them to fake the data.

GANG INVOLVEMENT: It gets worse. The fraudsters admitted that local street gangs are heavily involved, selling lists of names and acting as enforcers on the street.

The Subcontractor Loophole: The massive organizations funding these petitions shield themselves from criminal liability by using a web of “middleman” companies and independent subcontractors, keeping their hands completely clean.

Perhaps the most terrifying revelation from the interview is where the gangs and fraudsters are getting the names of the registered voters to forge.

When Higby asked where the names come from, the whistleblower dropped a massive truth bomb: they are allegedly buying them directly from corrupt voter registration databases.

“They get it from the registration office. They pay a lot of money… from the registration office directly,” the fraudster admitted on tape, calling the state offices “corrupt as hell.”

March 26, 2026 – “Hands Off Iran” protest in Philadelphia cheers for American troops returning home ‘in caskets’

Sponsors of the Hands Off Iran protest in Philadelphia March 26, 2026 (Credit: Surge Philly)

Shocking video from a radical anti-Iran war protest in Philadelphia showed participants explicitly supporting Islamic terror groups and calling for “cheers” every time an American servicemember comes home “in a casket.”

Demonstrators at the “Hands Off Iran” protests in Philadelphia have carried signs condemning the war and attacking Israel, President Donald Trump, and even Democratic Sen. John Fetterman. One speaker in a video that went viral Thursday explicitly praised terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah and advocated for a “strong Iranian state” to maintain their “fighting capacity” against Israel.

In the clip filmed by Philadelphia-based conservative activist Frankie Scales, the masked speaker drew loud cheers as he declared they celebrate American deaths and called for bringing the U.S. “to its knees.

As of publication, seven American military personnel were killed or died from wounds inflicted by hostile action during Operation Epic Fury, while six others were killed in the crash of an Air Force refueling aircraft in support of the operation.

“Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy,” the speaker said. “For every US military base that crumbles and for every US soldier who returns home in a casket, we cheer. Hamas, Hezbollah, Ansar Allah, all of the resistance forces we celebrate, these popular forces on the ground spend every waking moment in direct confrontation with Zionism, and they rely on a strong Iranian state to maintain their fighting capacity.”

March 26, 2026 – The geopolitics behind Iran and beyond

3 weeks ago I argued the US goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot. Venezuela in January -> Iran in February.

Neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days. Achieve a compliant successor government and complete energy dominance.

The oil thesis was the obvious layer. However, when you zoom out & view the last four years as a single sequence rather than isolated geopolitical events, the architecture of the grander US plan becomes visible.

1st was Europe, which laid the groundwork.

The Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40.

Then Nordstream was destroyed, which rewired the entire European energy system permanently. The US went from supplying 28% of Europe’s LNG in 2021 to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million MTs, the 1st country in history to break 100 MT.

Europe was transformed from a customer with options into a captive market now purchasing its survival in USD.

2nd was Syria.

The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China’s Belt & Road Initiative to the Mediterranean.

The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq & Syria, designed to bypass Western maritime chokepoints, was completely destroyed.

This isolated Iran geographically & cleared the path for what came next.

3rd was Venezuela.

In January the US effectively took control of the world’s largest heavy crude reserves. The US Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth, specifically built for heavy sour crude. Phillips 66, Valero & the rest are now positioned to process hundreds of thousands of barrels of Venezuelan crude daily.

The US captured a massive strategic reserve & solidified its position as the dominant exporter of refined petroleum products, an industry worth $110 billion in 2025 alone.

Venezuela & Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system. Both produce heavy crude sold primarily to China & evaded US financial supervision. Both now being neutralized within 90 days, which leads us to..

4th is Iran & the Middle East energy shock.

Israel struck Iran’s South Pars gas field, the world’s largest natural gas reservoir. Iran retaliated against Qatar’s Ras Laffan, the single largest LNG facility on earth, responsible for a fifth of global supply. QatarEnergy’s own assessment is that 17% of export capacity is gone and recovery will take up to 5 years. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. European gas prices spiked 70%. Asian spot prices doubled.

The only remaining scaled supplier? The United States.

If Iran falls & a successor government is installed that the US controls or influences (the Delcy model described weeks ago) then roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of global production out of 103 million is effectively under US control. OPEC becomes irrelevant because the US coalition is now the marginal producer. Now add the gas dimension & it goes beyond oil.

This war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro/LNG-dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in USD. The new system is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts & regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe & the Pacific allies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) cannot pivot away as there is nowhere left to pivot to. They’re now locked into the US energy system.

The market confirms this. DXY went from 96 to 101. Gold down ~20% from its January all time high. Bitcoin down 20% on the year. Brent above $100. European & Asian institutions are liquidating precious metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply. The world is selling its gold to buy American energy in American currency. The dollar is now being weaponized through energy dependency.

The structural repricing is happening regardless of how the conflict resolves.

But the US grand strategy goes deeper..

Artificial intelligence is a physical industry. It runs on power and chips. Data centers require massive uninterrupted baseload electricity, primarily provided by natural gas. Semiconductor fabrication requires helium & rare earths.

By choking the Strait of Hormuz & crippling Middle Eastern LNG & helium production, the US is systematically degrading China’s ability to power its data centers & fabricate semiconductors at scale.

The US is energy self sufficient, especially with newly captured Venezuelan reserves & expanding Gulf Coast capacity running on domestic gas.

On the other hand, China is import dependent & every joule it imports effectively now transits chokepoints the US Navy controls..

Iran was the Belt & Road’s overland energy bypass, the corridor that allowed China to mitigate the Malacca Trap. With Iran neutralized that corridor is severed. China faces a world where its compute infrastructure competes for scraps on a depleted global LNG market, while American data centers run at full capacity on domestic energy.

Russia is next in the sequence. A post-war Iran reopening under US influence competes directly with Russia for the same refineries in China & India at lower cost. Iran’s production costs are lower. Russia loses its last structural advantage in heavy crude & its economic lifeline. Additionally, under the Iran war cover, Ukraine has been opportunistically destroying Russian energy infrastructure & all signs point towards Russia being at the end of the line. The message from Washington becomes very simple: we dismantled two regimes in three months, your economy is about to get crushed, sign the Ukraine deal.

Then Trump sits down with Xi holding every card. Complete energy dominance. The hybrid petro/LNG-dollar fortified, Iran cleared, Russia cornered, & China facing the Malacca Trap fully closed with no remaining energy bypass.

Israel & the GCC are absorbing the kinetic cost of a conflict whose primary beneficiary, counter to the mainstream narrative, is actually America (First). Qatar offline for 5 years reprices the entire global gas market in favor of US exporters for the remainder of the decade. The Gulf states face years of rebuilding. Europe faces its 2nd energy crisis in four years.

Sure, the average American might face temporary moderate inflation & higher gas prices. But if you are the architect of the US empire & you view the rise of China & Chinese ASI as an existential winner takes all scenario, the collateral damage is acceptable cost.

Whoever controls the energy corridors controls the monetary system. Whoever controls the monetary system & the energy supply simultaneously controls the compute infrastructure that determines which civilization builds ASI first.

The US is seizing all 3.

March 27, 2026 – Ethics panel finds Democrat Rep. guilty of improperly using funds for disaster relief and faces expulsion

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (Credit: Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)

House lawmakers just took a major step toward booting a sitting Democrat from Congress.

A bipartisan ethics panel voted to move forward with a process that could ultimately expel Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who’s accused of funneling millions in disaster relief money into her campaign. The panel found Cherfilus-McCormick guilty on 25 counts.

An investigative subcommittee signed off on a motion for summary judgment, essentially concluding she committed nearly all the violations outlined earlier this year.

The decision followed a rare public ethics hearing Thursday — the first of its kind since 2010 — that stretched more than six hours. Lawmakers from both parties pressed her legal team as the eight-member panel, led by Rep. Michael Guest, weighed the case.

“After careful deliberation that lasted until well past midnight, the adjudicatory subcommittee found that Counts 1-15 and 17-26 of the SAV [statement of alleged violations] had been proven,” committee leaders said in a statement.

The allegations are sweeping. Investigators say Cherfilus-McCormick improperly used funds tied to disaster relief, filed false financial disclosures, and sought “special favors” tied to earmark requests. She’s also facing a separate federal indictment.

The panel will reconvene after the Easter recess to recommend punishment, with expulsion on the table.

Rep. Greg Steube has already pledged to push an expulsion vote regardless of what the committee decides. That would require a two-thirds majority in the House, meaning Democrats would have to cross the aisle.

So far, party leadership has largely stuck by Cherfilus-McCormick. But cracks are beginning to show.

“The allegations before us are extremely serious,” Rep. Mark DeSaulnier said at the start of Thursday’s hearing. “They not only concern an individual member’s conduct, they also implicate the public’s confidence in the House’s integrity as an institution.” (Read more: Trending Politics, 3/27/2026)  (Archive)

March 28, 2026 – The European Parliament approves tough deportation plan: immediate expulsions and an unprecedented shift in migration policy

Europe has just crossed a line that, until very recently, many believed was impossible to cross.

The European Parliament has approved the most radical plan for detaining and deporting illegal migrants ever proposed within the Union—an overhaul that dramatically tightens border controls and speeds up the removal of those who enter irregularly.

The approval has triggered a political shockwave in Brussels.

Not only because of how forceful the measures are, but because of how quickly they will take effect:
deportations and returns will be enforced immediately, without long bureaucratic delays, without months of waiting, and without the legal loopholes that for years allowed thousands of migrants to remain in Europe despite having final expulsion orders.

The message from the European Parliament is unmistakable: the era of vague policies, half-measures, and empty declarations is over.

Europe—pushed by national governments, overwhelmed reception systems, and growing public frustration—has decided to impose a 180-degree shift in its migration model.

This new framework places border security at the center of the debate.

It grants more power to member states, minimizes detention times, and streamlines procedures to return irregular migrants to their countries of origin or to designated safe third countries.

The change is so significant that even within the Parliament several MEPs have described it as “a before-and-after moment in the history of the European project.”

Others celebrate it as a necessary step to regain control, protect Europe’s external borders, and dismantle the human smuggling networks that for years have decided who enters the continent. (Gateway Hispanic, 3/28/26)  (Archive)

March 30, 2026 – Swalwell sends Kash Patel cease-and-desist letter as FBI Director pushes to release the Fang Fang files

Eric Swalwell and Christine Fang (Credit: Facebook)

Eric Swalwell is panicking as Kash Patel pushes to release salacious files related to his relationship with Chinese spy and honeypot Fang Fang.

Democrat Rep. Swalwell is currently running for Governor of California.

Lawyers for Rep Eric Swalwell sent FBI Director Kash Patel cease and desist letter.

“Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative,” the Washington Post reported on Monday.

“Swalwell’s attorneys said in their letter that there was no justification for releasing the files, especially since the congressman had assisted the FBI in its investigation,” WaPo reported.

“The congressman has never been accused of wrongdoing in that matter and your attempt to release the file is a transparent attempt to smear him and undermine his campaign for governor of California,” the letter said, according to WaPo. “Your actions threaten to expose you, others at the FBI, and the FBI itself to significant legal liability.”

(…) Conservative reporter Nick Sortor previously confronted a drunk Swalwell about his relationship with Fang Fang.

March 31, 2026 – Judicial Watch FOIA uncovers FBI objections to Mar-a-Lago raid

(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

BREAKING: @JUDICIALWATCH FOIA UNCOVERS FBI OBJECTIONS TO MAR-A-LAGO RAID! The documents also how leftist groups helped spur the targeting of President Trump over presidential records, FBI objections over there was “probable cause” to justify the planned raid on Trump’s home, and evidence of leaks to left media about the investigation. The documents were produced in response to a Judicial Watch FOIA on “Plasmic Echo”–the code name for the secret investigation of the Trump records issue.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• FBI’s Washington Field Office explicitly told DOJ it did not believe probable cause existed for a search warrant of Mar-a-Lago—including the former president’s residence and bedroom—yet DOJ proceeded anyway. Internal WFO emails dated July 12–13, 2022, state that WFO does not believe probable cause has been established for the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, and that the case agent does not believe there is PC for the 45 Office or the bedroom due to recency and issues of boxes versus classified information. Despite this documented objection, DOJ directed the search to proceed on August 8, 2022.

• A senior FBI WFO official raised concerns about DOJ’s handling of the pre-search contact with Trump’s attorney, citing a DOJ official’s statement that he “frankly doesn’t give a damn about the optics.” In an August 4, 2022 email, the WFO Assistant Special Agent in Charge requested that the FBI—not DOJ—make first contact with Trump attorney Evan Corcoran before the search. The official cited the “antagonistic relationship” built by DOJ with Trump’s counsel and quoted a DOJ official’s indifference to the optics of the search.

• WFO repeatedly proposed less confrontational alternatives to a search warrant and was rebuffed each time by DOJ. Internal WFO documents outline multiple alternative courses of action rejected by DOJ: contacting Trump or his counsel directly; requesting DOJ contact Evan Corcoran; pursuing a consent search; and seeking a new NARA referral for presidential records. WFO wrote that five weeks fixated on probable cause for a search warrant have been counterproductive.

• The investigation was opened as a Sensitive Investigative Matter on February 11, 2022 following FBI Headquarters direction, after coordination with the FBI’s Deputy Director, OGC, and DOJ. Multiple Import Forms document that on February 11, 2022, the Counterintelligence Division Associate Director met with the FBI Deputy Director, OGC, and DOJ and then directed WFO to open PLASMIC ECHO as a SIM. Named HQ participants included Lisa Gentilcore and Alan Kohler of the Counterintelligence Division.

• Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and the National Security Archive sent a letter to the Attorney General and FBI Director requesting a criminal investigation—and that letter was routed into the PLASMIC ECHO case file and acted upon within days. A February 24, 2022 Import Form records that WFO was notified of a letter from CREW and the National Security Archive, dated February 8, 2022, requesting DOJ investigate whether former President Trump violated federal criminal law by willfully mutilating and destroying critical records of his presidency. It was assigned to the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division with a Sentinel due date of March 17, 2022.

• The Washington Post was seeking confirmation of FBI outreach to witnesses in “Trump’s orbit” months before the August 8, 2022 search, and the WFO Public Affairs Officer documented the inquiry in the case file. A May 12, 2022 Import Form documents that the WFO Public Affairs Officer received a call from The Washington Post seeking confirmation that DOJ had issued subpoenas to NARA and that the FBI had begun reaching out to and/or interviewing individuals in Trump’s orbit related to the investigation. The officer provided no comment. [pp. 86–87 of 212]

• CD Assistant Director Alan E. Kohler Jr. sent an all-hands email to Counterintelligence Division staff the day after the search, defending the investigation and stating it was conducted by the book in the most professional manner possible. Kohler’s August 10, 2022 email acknowledged erroneous press reporting but stated agents were prevented by DOJ and FBI policy from sharing investigative details, and that he vowed not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The email was forwarded into the PLASMIC ECHO case file the next day.

• Director Wray sent a bureau-wide email the day after the search stating the FBI does not cut corners and does not play favorites, while the WFO’s own internal documents show field agents had formally disputed the probable cause basis for the search. Director Wray’s August 11, 2022 bureau-wide message—filed into the PLASMIC ECHO case file—stated the investigative steps taken were measured and scrupulously consistent with national security obligations. This was sent the day after WFO’s internal emails documenting its disagreement with DOJ over probable cause had already been filed into the same case record.

Jena Griswold’s tenure as Colorado Secretary of State marks one of the clearest state‑level examples of how bureaucratic offices can be captured by national political networks under the rhetoric of “protecting democracy.”

Her initial campaigns were overwhelmingly financed by Washington‑based super PACs such as Emily’s List, End Citizens United, and the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State—an early warning that outside capital was buying influence over a state‑administered system.

Once elected, she centralized power by rewriting election procedures through emergency rules, purging career nonpartisan staff, and funneling nearly every significant contract through a single vendor: Dominion Voting Systems. She paired this consolidation with information control, branding any attempt at independent auditing or public data access as “disinformation.”

Behind the scenes, the same organizations that funded her campaigns built an interlocking structure—from legal activists to media gatekeepers—that kept the office ideologically synchronized with national agendas. Marc Elias’s Law Group and think‑tanks such as the Brennan Center produced legal templates later mirrored in Griswold’s rule‑makings.

Simultaneously, her communications team worked hand‑in‑glove with friendly outlets to portray critics as extremists, while friendly nonprofits flooded the public narrative space with “fact‑checking” pieces that repeated SoS talking points verbatim. The result was not mere partisanship but a closed information loop designed to shrink public oversight.

Financially, Colorado’s election apparatus evolved into a self‑funding ecosystem. Private capital flowed from mega‑foundations through dark‑money conduits like the New Venture Fund and Sixteen Thirty Fund into “local civic groups,” which then received state contracts or grants to implement programs that those same donors demanded.

Taxpayer dollars amplified these investments through matching state funds, while contractors such as Dominion and Google‑linked cloud services recycled profits back to consultant firms and PACs allied with the donors. Each cycle, the donors showcased these “successful reforms” to justify another round of funding, transforming democracy advocacy into a perpetual revenue machine.

The cumulative effect has been the quiet conversion of a ministerial state office into a politically networked command post: laws rewritten by decree, transparency reclassified as a threat, and independent audits criminalized. Electoral integrity was replaced by narrative control. Reversing such capture would require strict bans on private grants to election offices, full open‑source publication of voting software, and public‑ledger accounting of every vendor and subcontractor connected to the Secretary of State.
