May 6, 2025 – NYC police commissioner launches an internal investigation into cooperation with ICE

Police in New York City are investigating whether the department violated policy by sharing a report with federal immigration authorities that included internal records of a Palestinian woman’s arrest at a protest.

The probe follows reporting by The Associated Press on the cooperation between the NYPD and President Donald Trump’s administration, which is seeking to deport Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian resident of New Jersey, as part of its widening crackdown on noncitizens who participated in protests against the war in Gaza.

The report shared by police with the federal government included Kordia’s name, address and birthday, as well as an NYPD officer’s two-sentence summary of her arrest for protesting outside Columbia University last spring.

That charge — a summons for disorderly conduct — was dismissed and the case sealed, meaning it should not have been accessible for law enforcement purposes, according to legal experts.

“How it is that summons information was provided that is associated with a sealed arrest is what we are looking into now,” the city’s police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, said Tuesday in response to the AP’s questions. “This is under internal investigation and review.”

Kordia, a 32-year-old waitress living in Paterson, New Jersey, was detained during a March 13 check-in with immigration officials, then sent to an immigration jail in Texas, where she remains. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced her arrest the following day, citing an expired visa and her role in “pro-Hamas protests.” (Read more: MSN, 5/6/2025) (Archive)

May 7, 2025 – Peter Schweizer: Clinton Cash – A Decade of Impact (Video)

Ten years ago, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How Foreign Governments and Businesses Made Bill and Hillary Rich, was published. Its revelations launched an FBI investigation into Bill and Hillary Clinton’s family foundation. The book rocked official Washington, prompted widespread media coverage, including front-page write-ups in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. Later reporting would confirm how much the book spooked the Clinton campaign team, which may have been why her campaign pursued the “Steele Dossier” attempt to tie their opponent, Donald Trump, to Russia.

The book even spawned a graphic novel–style treatment, a Fox News prime time special, and a documentary film.

To mark the book’s tenth anniversary, joining Peter Schweizer, the book’s author, and his co-host Eric Eggers on the most recent episode of The Drill Down is Steve Bannon, who was a co-founder of the Government Accountability Institute and now runs a daily show of his own called “The War Room.”

Back in 2015, Bannon was a big part of the book’s aggressive rollout strategy, which also included pre-publication sharing of some of its chapters with the New York Times, which then produced its own frontpage story on the sale of Uranium One to the Russians while Hillary was Secretary of State. Could that kind of media support for an investigative journalism book happen today?

“It was pretty amazing, the research that you and the team did to actually pull it all together,” Bannon says. “That’s why the book was so powerful.” He adds that since then, “the media ecosystem has changed.” He notes that the lesson the legacy media learned from the experience with Clinton Cash was not to report on stories that might in some way benefit Donald Trump, a tendency they would repeat in 2020 with the Hunter Biden laptop story, and again in 2024 with the lack of attention paid to Joe Biden’s deteriorating mental capacity.

On a recent podcast appearance, for example, former NBC host Chuck Todd loudly denied that the mainstream media missed the story of Joe Biden’s mental demise — calling it “right-wing-manufactured” spin. “I just refuse to accept this stupid premise because it’s a right-wing-manufactured, right-wing premise in order to stain the media,” Todd claimed.

Bannon believes the emerging new media needs to look past Todd’s brand of partisan boosterism. Clinton Cash and Schweizer’s later books, which were largely ignored by legacy media outlets, were nevertheless highly influential. “Our lesson is… If you do the work, people will find the story.”

May 7, 2025 – The Hidden Empire of Thom Tillis: Undisclosed Deeds and Rental Income

Thom and Susan Tillis (Credit: public domain)

This is a corrected and expanded version of an article originally published at 1:08 PM on May 7, 2025. It includes critical factual updates and new findings resulting from an ongoing investigation. I am being fully transparent about an error I made at the outset of the investigation, how that error occurred, and how correcting it led to the discovery of something even more significant..

Building a Real Estate Empire, One Undisclosed Deed at a Time

The initial confusion was driven by a seemingly impossible coincidence: Senator Thom R. Tillis has a brother—also named Thom R. Tillis That detail, obscured in legal and corporate filings, made it appear that the Senator himself had engaged in a self-dealing real estate transaction. I originally believed the Senator had acquired 5508 Enslow Place through an LLC via $0 quitclaim deed and later sold it for profit without reporting the transaction in mandatory senate financial disclosures.

That turned out to be incorrect. But rather than invalidate the story, correcting it uncovered something even more bizarre—and far more troubling.

Senator Thomas Roland Tillis, a senior Republican from North Carolina and sitting member of powerful Senate committees on Banking, Finance, and the Judiciary, is tied to a network of real estate transactions involving his family members, an array of limited liability companies, and a nonprofit corporation registered to a luxury residential address. The result is a financial and legal ecosystem that appears to be engineered for opacity and protected by bespoke legislation and corrupt government oversight.

This report presents evidence that raises serious questions about Tillis’s conduct and financial transparency with regard to:

  • Verifiable property records linking Tillis family entities to concealed or underreported assets
  • Multiple examples of $0 property transfers between corporate and family-controlled interests
  • Omitted financial disclosures in violation of the Ethics in Government Act
  • Potential misuse of nonprofit resources and commingled addresses with real estate operations

These findings are based on public records filed with the IRS, North Carolina’s Secretary of State, the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds, and other official, government-controlled property databases. The documents cited here are verifiable and evidence of obfuscation speaks for itself.

Correcting the Initial Claim Unmasked a Bigger Problem at 5508 Enslow Place

The most confounding example in this investigation remains 5508 Enslow Place. Initially, I reported that Senator Tillis personally acquired and sold this property. That claim was incorrect — in 2008, Thom “Rick” Tillis and his wife Terry quitclaimed the property to their family-controlled LLC, TRT Holdings.

Five years later, in 2013, TRT Holdings sold the property to Theresa L. Baker, a woman from Connecticut who had recently relocated to North Carolina. The sale price was $55,000, and the transaction was executed via a warranty deed — suggesting a conventional, arms-length sale on paper.

It was after the sale where the deeply suspicious activity began. Baker died just three years later in 2016, and as of 2025, her name remains on the deed. The mortgage was quietly maintained for seven years after her death and only satisfied in 2023, with no recorded transfer of ownership or probate proceeding — a pattern that raises far more questions than the sale itself. Theresa Baker may not have known much about real estate law or deed classifications. From her point of view, she was buying a modest home for a good price from a real estate company. On paper, the use of a warranty deed suggested a conventional, protected transaction — but the circumstances that followed raise the possibility that she was merely a placeholder in a much broader scheme.

Baker died of cancer in 2016, just three years later. As of 2025, her name is still on the deed. The mortgage, originally taken out in her name, continued to be paid for seven years after her death, and was satisfied only recently — in 2023. No deed has been filed transferring ownership, no probate appears to have been opened, and no heirs have claimed the property.

These facts are not just strange. They point to the deliberate retention of a property in a dead woman’s name, while the home continues to be financially maintained and legally obscured. One possible explanation is that this was a planned placeholder title, allowing the true controllers of the property to remain invisible.

In April 2025, Senator Tillis co-sponsored S. 1334, a bill to raise the asset threshold for taxable Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) subsidiaries. This legislative development sharpens the strategic picture and introduces a new layer of possible intent, opening the door for the Tillis family to roll “parked” assets — like those once held by TRT Holdings — into a REIT structure with preferential tax treatment and reduced disclosure obligations. In that light, Theresa Baker wasn’t just a buyer — she may have been an unwitting participant in a larger scheme to keep assets off Tillis’s disclosure forms and IRS visibility until they could be sanitized, bundled, and monetized.

What Makes This Legally Abnormal?

    • • Quitclaim deeds are rarely used in arms-length transactions between unrelated parties—yet one was used here.
    • • Title remained in the deceased buyer’s name for nine years—anomalous under standard probate practice
    • • A mortgage remained active in her name for seven years after her death and was then quietly satisfied—without any transfer of title.
    • • The property was originally sold by TRT Holdings, a Tillis family-run LLC, which shared its address with a nonprofit founded by Susan Tillis
    • • TRT Holdings was dissolved just five weeks before Theresa Baker’s death, raising questions about whether this was done to avoid potential entanglements with her estate.

These factors raise serious red flags. While not direct evidence of criminal conduct, the structure and timing resemble common patterns used to conceal beneficial ownership and circumvent both tax and ethics disclosure requirements.

What I Can Prove — and What I Can’t

  • TRT Holdings sold the home to Theresa Baker.
  • Baker died in 2016.
  • No deed has ever transferred the property out of her name.
  • The mortgage was paid off in 2023.
  • The address used by TRT Holdings is the same as the registered address of the Susan M. Tillis Foundation.
  • TRT Holdings was voluntarily dissolved shortly before Baker’s death.

I cannot prove—yet:

  • Who occupied or used the house after Baker died.
  • Who paid the mortgage from 2016 to 2023.
  • Whether anyone connected to the Tillis family benefited from continued use of the home.

Whether the quitclaim deed structure was used intentionally to avoid liability or prepare the property for reacquisition after Baker’s death.

Each of these unanswered questions signals a highly abnormal transaction

Subpoena power may be necessary to determine the true beneficiaries of the mortgage payments and posthumous occupancy.

Why Bother? The Strategic Value of a Low-Profile Asset

While 5508 Enslow Place is not a luxury property, its treatment within this network suggests it serves a strategic purpose. Low-value homes are ideal for obscured control because they attract less scrutiny from journalists, tax assessors, and regulatory agencies. If this model was used repeatedly—as records suggest TRT Holdings controlled up to 30 properties—it may reflect a scalable scheme involving:

  • Quiet asset control without title exposure
  • Use of terminal buyers to temporarily shield true ownership
  • Potential refinancing or leveraging of appreciated equity posthumously
  • Maintenance of mortgages for properties that can continue generating use, rent, or long-term title reacquisition via quiet legal means

The extended mortgage payments after Baker’s death suggest a party with a long-game interest in the property. One plausible scenario is that the home was quietly re-controlled and leveraged over time while keeping it off ethics disclosures and tax rolls.

The nonprofit founded by Senator Tillis’s wife, the Susan M. Tillis Foundation, was registered to the exact same luxury residential address—16116 North Point Road—as TRT Holdings, the LLC that executed these questionable real estate transactions. This overlap raises difficult questions:

  • Why would a nonprofit be registered to a private residence instead of commercial office space?
  • Why register it to the same address as a real estate LLC engaging in unorthodox transfers and dissolutions?
  • Was this address functioning as a command center for coordinated personal, political, nonprofit, and business activity?

These are unanswered questions. But they are also red flags. The IRS requires separation of nonprofit and for-profit activity. While sharing an address is not illegal by itself, doing so in the context of opaque real estate deals and family-controlled nonprofits is at minimum a governance issue, and at worst a concealment tactic

Susan Tillis also appears in real estate records as the signatory on at least one deed involving another Tillis-linked property: a trailer park at 11826 Ramah Church Road. This suggests she played a direct role in facilitating real estate transfers between family-controlled entities, and further complicates any assertion that she was uninvolved.

A Curious 90 Days: Dissolution, Death, and a New Foundation

Between August and November 2016, three seemingly unrelated events occurred:

  • August 17, 2016 – TRT Holdings, LLC was voluntarily dissolved.
  • September 23, 2016 – Theresa Baker, purchaser of 5508 Enslow Place, died of cancer.
  • November 7, 2016 – The Susan M. Tillis Foundation was incorporated.

This 90-day period marks a critical pivot point. The entity that sold the property to a terminal buyer is shut down. The buyer dies. Then a federally tax-exempt nonprofit is launched—bearing the name of a sitting senator’s wife and sharing infrastructure with the now-defunct real estate operation.

This sequence doesn’t suggest coincidence. It suggests strategic reorganization

  • Shut down the entity that carried legal and reputational risk.
  • Wait out the buyer’s death and preserve the deed in her name.
  • Launch a nonprofit that can offer cover for real estate-related expenses, activity, or new structuring efforts.

The nonprofit may have been intended to serve as a public-facing shield for a system that was previously private and exposed.

The timing strongly implies that Susan Tillis’s role was not incidental — but integrated into the broader Tillis family real estate framework.

Final Thought: Who Paid the Dead Woman’s Mortgage?

One question looms above all others:

Who was paying Theresa Baker’s mortgage for seven years after she died — and why?

That isn’t a procedural hiccup. That’s a deliberate action. Someone had access to her account or estate, continued to make regular payments on her behalf, and then paid off the loan entirely in 2023. All while keeping the deed frozen in her name.

Was it a relative? A friend? Or someone connected to the original seller — a Tillis-run LLC? I don’t know yet. But whoever it was, they had a powerful reason to keep that house legally invisible for as long as possible.

And that raises perhaps the most pressing question of all:

What were they hiding?

May 7, 2025 – Royal family advisor John Bryan via OMG undercover: ‘Prince Andrew was f*ing underage girls’

In revelation caught on hidden camera by O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), American businessman and long-time royal insider John Bryan has come forward with damning claims about Prince Andrew’s personal relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Bryan, a trusted advisor to the Duke of York, also alleged that Prince Andrew lied to him about his involvement in sexual misconduct with minors.

“I knew he [Prince Andrew] saw him [Jeffrey Epstein],” said Bryan, “But he lied to me that he was such a close friend,” revealed Bryan, referring to Prince Andrew’s personal relationship with Epstein.

After Prince Andrew’s 2019 BBC interview, where he denied knowing Virginia Giuffre and famously claimed he was physically incapable of sweating, Bryan says he was quietly brought into “Royal Lodge,” Andrew’s private residence, to provide “crisis” management advice. In a previous interview with the New York Post, Bryan revealed “They [the British Royal Family] brought me in to help him [Andrew].” Bryan told the publication, “Andrew was so distressed, he wasn’t able to focus for more than 40 minutes.”

According to previous reporting by The Daily Mail, Bryan also admitted to crafting a five-page PR strategy titled the “House of Kroy,” advising Andrew to publicly express sympathy for victims of Jeffrey Epstein while maintaining his own innocence. At the time, Bryan publicly supported the Prince, stating, “I believe Prince Andrew is innocent.”

“I did a big thing in The Daily Mail saying that I believed Andrew,” Bryan recounted to our undercover OMG journalist, adding, “And then I found out he was lying. I was so pissed.” When asked what Andrew had lied about, Bryan didn’t mince words: “That he was fucking underage girls. That’s not cool.”

O’Keefe Media Group has reached out to both the Royal Family and John Bryan for comment regarding Bryan’s admissions.

May 7, 2025 – GOP rep details how FBI covered up the 2017 attack on Republicans practicing for Congressional baseball game

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo expressed shock Wednesday when Republican Rep. Rick Crawford of Arkansas detailed the findings of a House Intelligence Committee report on the FBI’s investigation of the 2017 attack on Republicans at a practice for the Congressional baseball game.

Then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana was shot in the June 2017 attack carried out by James Hodgkinson, a supporter of independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont’s 2016 presidential campaign. Crawford told Bartiromo that FBI Director Kash Patel “pulled back the curtain” to allow a review of the agency’s probe into the attack, which also wounded a staffer and a police officer.

“How is this allowed?” Bartiromo asked Crawford after reading from the report. “There was no connection to terrorism initially and now we see a completely different narrative in the report.”

“It took us eight years to get that. But for Director Patel committing to us he would have it to us, we would still be waiting,” Crawford told Bartiromo. “Director Patel came in and he has kind of pulled the curtain back and I’ll do what he can he’s been transparent with us as possible and that’s exactly what he did.”

The report criticized the FBI, saying the case file showed that Hodgkinson carried out “a premeditated assassination attempt” against Republican members of Congress and was “seeking to affect” how the United States government conducted itself.

“First off, [the] suicide by cop narrative was on its face wrong because there was no uniformed police officers present when the shooting started,” Crawford said. “So, he was there, and we knew he had a manifesto on his person and he had a list of other Republican members in his pocket and he was engaged in a long-term, a ten-minute firefight. In a firefight, ten minutes is a long time. That was not suicide by cop and any reasonable person would have dismissed that immediately.”

“They stuck with the narrative until 2021. In May of 2021, for whatever reason, there was no new information introduced in the investigation, but they decided in May of 2021 to say, you know, if we had to do it over, maybe we would consider a nexus to domestic terrorism,” Crawford continued. “That’s a problem. The fact that it took them four years to come to the conclusion without any new information is the investigation. So, there was, this investigation is chock-full of questionable conclusions and really, the methods that they used and the political bias that was demonstrated is unconscionable.” (Read more: The Daily Caller, 5/7/2025)  (Archive)

May 7, 2025 – A Boston judge faces trial for helping illegal immigrant flee ICE agents in 2018

Judge Shelley Joseph (Credit: public domain)

A Massachusetts judge will soon face a public hearing over serious misconduct allegations. Judge Shelley Joseph is accused of helping a twice-deported illegal migrant escape her courtroom in 2018.

The hearing, scheduled for June 9, will resemble a courtroom trial. Her legal team will have a chance to present evidence. The Commission on Judicial Conduct will oversee the process.

Joseph allegedly allowed Jose Medina-Perez, a migrant with narcotics charges, to exit through a back door. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were waiting with a detainer at the courthouse.

In 2019, former U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling charged Joseph with obstruction of justice and conspiracy. The case made national headlines.

Joseph later surrendered. In response, federal prosecutors dropped the charges. The matter then moved to the state’s judicial oversight body.

The Commission formally charged her late last year. According to the Boston Herald, Joseph is accused of “willful judicial misconduct” and “failing to comply with the law.” (Read more: World Insight Info, 5/7/2025)  (Archive)

May 7, 2025 – DOGE: After 10 weeks, more than 500K of the 4.6M active credit cards have been de-activated…more to do

500K credit cards deactivated—real progress, but the real scandal is how 4.6M cards ever existed for 2.2M employees. GSA, Treasury, and HHS led the charge in this $40B spending spree, with average transactions at $441. Bureaucrats treated taxpayer funds like Monopoly money.

DOGE’s audit exposes the rot: agencies like State Department still dragging their feet at 25% compliance. Cut the cards, cut the waste, cut the bloat.

Every deactivated card is a win against D.C.’s culture of excess.

May 8, 2025 – Trump nominates Judge Jeanine Pirro as interim US attorney for DC

I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions. During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime. Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation. She excelled in all ways. In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television. Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!

May 8, 2025 – Trump appoints Ed Martin as Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney

One of the true beauties of President Trump is the way he turns seeming defeats into even greater victories.

So soon-to-be-primaried RINO Tillis wants to flex his puny little muscles and feebly try to derail the MAGA agenda?

And instead he gets ultra-MAGA and profoundly gifted jurist Judge Jeanine as the D.C. prosecutor and Ed Martin instead moves to the office that is in charge of gutting the belly of the beast????

Ed Martin’s pivot to leading the Weaponization Working Group is a masterstroke. His track record of gutting corrupt Biden-era prosecutions and dismantling the administrative state’s chokehold on justice proves he’s the right pick to expose D.C.’s rot. The same bureaucrats crying about “norms” are the ones who weaponized DOJ against political enemies for years—Martin’s mandate to audit their misconduct is long overdue.

Tillis’s weak-kneed resistance only highlights why MAGA loyalists like Martin are essential: establishment Republicans would rather preserve the swamp than drain it. This isn’t a defeat—it’s a tactical elevation.

The real work begins: subpoenas, accountability, and ensuring every Biden crony who abused power faces consequences. No more two-tiered system.

May 8, 2025 – ICE detainee and “Georgetown Scholar” propagandist is related to a senior advisor to Hamas

Badar Khan Suri’s case is a textbook example of why immigration enforcement can’t play games with national security. DHS alleges he’s linked to a Hamas advisor and spread propaganda—that’s not “academic freedom,” that’s a red flag. ICE exists to remove threats, not debate them.

The media’s sob stories about his detention ignore the real issue: why was someone with these ties allowed to operate here in the first place? Deportation isn’t about his wife’s heritage; it’s about protecting Americans from extremism.

If the courts block this, it’s another win for bureaucracy over safety.

May 8, 2025 – FBI opens formal investigation of NY Attorney General Letitia James

The FBI in Albany has opened a formal criminal investigation examining the real estate and mortgage transactions of New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to law enforcement sources briefed on the matter.

John A. Sarcone III, is appointed by Pam Bondi to be the new U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York. He is expected to take office as interim U.S. Attorney March 17 pending confirmation. (Credit: public domain)

It’s unclear why U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi steered the referral to New York’s Northern District; although James is a statewide elected official with offices in Albany, the transactions involve her personal property purchases and loans that were processed in New York City and Virginia. Some of the transactions also may fall outside the federal statute of limitations. However, one of the mortgages involves James’ assertions in loan documents related to her 2023 purchase of a residence in Norfolk, Virginia.

One of the mortgage documents filed in connection with James’ purchase of the single-family residence — a notarized power-of-attorney document — was signed as a witness by Jennifer Levy, who is the first deputy attorney general. A spokesman for James did not immediately respond to a question about why Levy would have been asked to sign a document related to the attorney general’s purchase of a private residence.

That document, which James also signed, stated: “I hereby declare that I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.”

Under state law, James’ principal residence as a statewide elected official must be in New York.

“This is being handled at this time by main (Department of) Justice and the Albany FBI field office,” said U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III, who oversees the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York’s Northern District. “We stand prepared to act in the capacity that we need to when and if we are informed there’s a charge to be made. Unlike Letitia James, who unethically ran around the state campaigning on getting Donald Trump… my office conducts itself in a manner that is proper and professional.”

(…) The Times Union has reported that the documents of her property transactions, some dating to 1983, have been circulated since last year to various news outlets and elected officials by a man using a fictitious name. He had claimed that he was part of a “group” that had begun delving into James’ property records after a friend had committed suicide while under investigation by the attorney general’s office for mortgage fraud.

(…) The documents apparently made their way to William J. Pulte, director of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, who sent a referral letter last month to Bondi alleging that James may have “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms.”

May 9, 2025 – Democrat members of Congress and Newark NJ mayor assault law enforcement at an ICE facility in NJ

Democrats Exposed: Judges and Mayors Break Federal Law to Shield Violent Illegal Immigrants While Claiming “No One Is Above the Law”.

Democrats chant “no one is above the law” while targeting Trump with politically driven prosecutions, yet their officials defy federal law to protect violent illegal immigrants, favoring MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gang members over citizens. Three cases expose this hypocrisy, alongside New York’s AG’s legal woes.

In Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan blocked ICE agents on April 18, 2025, to help Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal immigrant charged with domestic abuse, escape arrest. Dugan misled agents and snuck Flores-Ruiz out a jury door, risking officer and victim safety. In New Mexico, ex-Magistrate Judge Joel Cano hid Tren de Aragua gang member Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, giving him firearms and destroying evidence. Both face federal charges, but Democrats call it “political.”

In New Jersey, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka led Democrats in illegally storming an ICE facility to stop deportations of violent criminals. Meanwhile, New York AG Letitia James, embroiled in a mortgage fraud scandal, evades accountability while preaching “justice.” Democrats weaponize the law against Trump but break it to shield gang members, betraying Americans for votes.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s arrest for illegally storming an ICE detention center to free violent criminal illegals is a disgusting display of Democrat priorities. These aren’t dreamers—they’re murderers, rapists, and gang members itching to terrorize our communities. Baraka, a gubernatorial wannabe, thinks he’s above the law, but he’s not alone.

Democrat Congressmen, hiding behind Speech and Debate Clause immunity, joined this lawless stunt to obstruct federal law enforcement. That immunity doesn’t give them a free pass to trespass and sabotage ICE’s mission. Karoline Leavitt added, “President Trump is deporting illegal immigrant criminals… to put Americans first.” Alina Habba will likely slap these Democrats with federal charges—and they deserve it. As they preached in 2024, “nobody is above the law.” Yet, Democrats shield these predators, proving they care more about violent illegals than innocent Americans. Trump’s mass deportation plan is our shield against this betrayal. Lock them up!

I have obtained exclusive ICE officer body cam footage clearly showing Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver verbally and physically assaulting federal agents in New Jersey after illegally entering an ICE detention facility.

In the video you can see indisputable evidence of Congresswoman McIver (in the red jacket) punch, push and hit a federal agent, refusing to follow the ICE officers orders and impeding in a lawful arrest.

In the body cam footage you can also watch Rep. McIver verbally threaten to “put hands” on the federal agents. “I touch whoever I want mother fu****!” Rep. McIver then threatens to destroy the ICE officers careers, “You will pay!” before descending into a profanity-laced rampage tirade.

All of these actions are flatly illegal under 18 U.S. Code § 111 and carry heavy fines and prison sentences.

A spokesperson for Department of Homeland Security has confirmed to me that “there will be more investigations and arrests.”

“If you assault a law enforcement officer you will answer to the law.”

I have reached out to Speaker Johnson’s Office for an official statement on disciplinary action from the House.

If Congress members assaulted ICE officers, they should face the same legal consequences as any citizen. Law enforcement’s job is tough enough without politicians thinking they’re above the law. DHS releasing bodycam footage would bring transparency—either expose criminal behavior or debunk false claims. Either way, accountability matters.

No one gets a pass for attacking those enforcing our borders. The real issue? Politicians who grandstand on immigration chaos they helped create through decades of weak policies.

Secure the border, enforce the law, and let the facts—not theatrics—decide outcome.

May 8, 2025 – Trump announces he will nominate a new U.S. Attorney for DC and will bring Ed Martin into the DOJ

Ed Martin’s nomination as U.S. Attorney for D.C. underscores a critical reset: prioritizing accountability over bureaucracy. The office’s prior focus on politically charged Jan. 6 prosecutions—many of which collapsed under scrutiny—revealed systemic overreach. Martin’s mandate? Restore prosecutorial discretion, dismantle legacy vendettas, and refocus on actual public safety.

D.C. saw a 14% drop in violent crime this year under interim leadership—proof that law and order works. The real scandal isn’t personnel changes; it’s that Biden’s DOJ weaponized the judiciary to target opponents while ignoring rampant urban decay.

Martin’s track record of challenging corrupt systems aligns with the urgent need to purge D.C.’s entrenched legal rot.

🇺🇸🔥 We love you @EagleEdMartin 🔥🇺🇸

Thom Tillis is a disgrace. A weak, unqualified puppet of the NED and the USGLC, with zero military backbone, who sabotaged you not for wrongdoing, but for asking the one question that terrifies the regime:

What if their January 6 narrative is a lie?

That alone was enough to trigger their panic. Because truth is dangerous to institutions built on lies.

We the People are the judges now. Not the bloated, crumbling institutions desperately clinging to their illusion of legitimacy. Not the unelected elites in think tanks, CIA backrooms, or NGO war rooms.

Their post–Cold War “regime change at any cost” doctrine has killed hundreds of thousands, shattered entire nations, and unleashed suffering across the globe… all while pretending it’s about “freedom.”

We see them. We name them.

Congress. Media. Academia. Intelligence. NED. So-called democracy NGOs.

They are not guardians of peace or democracy… they are lazy, bought, and openly destructive.

Their time of immunity is over. And their reckoning is coming.

May 10, 2025 – A USAID contracting officer is charged with pandemic bailout fraud

A USAID employee in charge of managing contracts for the agency created a fake company to fraudulently secure coronavirus benefits for himself, federal prosecutors said Friday.

“Yusuf Akoll worked as a Senior Procurement Contract Specialist at the U.S. Agency for International Development,” according to a previously unreported court document. “From at least in or around March 2021, and continuing through at least in or around August 2021, Akoll [made] materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements…that resulted in Akoll receiving two [Paycheck Protection Program] loans totaling approximately $16,666 that he was not entitled to receive.”

Prosecutors said that in November 2020, Akoll registered a company in Virginia called Naagode Consulting LLC, then applied for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan under the coronavirus bailout package, claiming he worked at Naagode and the money was necessary to prevent job losses.

Only companies in operation in February 2020 were eligible, so he falsely said it was established in January 2020. To establish a loss of income, he said the company had $40,000 in income in 2019 when it actually had no income, prosecutors said. (Read more: The Daily Wire, 5/09/2025)  (Archive)

May 9, 2025 – DOGE: Maine Democrats use USAID funds to pay for their campaigns

Documents reveal Democrats in Maine have been using USAID money to pay for their campaigns

The Maine Wire “Governor Janet Mills administration has been using taxpayer dollars like the USAID Fund”

“We’re about 10-15% of the way through reviewing all 4,500 of these documents — The early story appears to be that the Governor Janet T. Mills administration has been using taxpayer dollars like the USAID Fund. They’ve been using no bid contracts to funnel money to nongovernmental organizations. And those NGOs are run by individuals who are friendly with their reelection efforts, friendly with what the administration is doing. And this money includes, by the way, federal dollars, Covid dollars, even emergency funding for Lewiston shooting response has been funneled to friendly NGOs.”

More corruption out of Maine

“We found that Attorney General Aaron Frey spent $60,000 on a no bid contract for soundproofing in his office in the Burton Cross office building. This was, of course, just a few months before it would emerge that he was having an affair with a subordinate. We found an $800,000 contract to the Bangor Daily News for marketing and advertising. The timing of that $800,000 payment to the Bangor Daily News is kind of interesting.

October of 2022, that would have been right before the Paul LePage vs Janet T. Mills reelection fight. And then we’ve also found a ton of no bid contracts given to a who’s who of non governmental organizations — the early story appears to be that the Mills administration has been using taxpayer dollars like the USAID Fund.”

May 10, 2025 – Court order blocking Trump from targeting Perkins Coie is overreach

Judge Beryl Howell

Federal District Court Judge Beryl Howell’s injunction prohibiting the implementation of Donald Trump’s executive order restricting the Perkins Coie law firm spoils a righteous core with judicial activism.

On March 6, Trump issued an executive order asserting that “the dishonest and dangerous activity of…Perkins Coie has affected this country for decades. Notably, in 2016 while representing failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS, which then manufactured a false “dossier” designed to steal an election…. Perkins Coie has worked with activist donors including George Soros to judicially overturn popular, necessary, and democratically enacted election laws….”

The order also accused Perkins Coie of racial discrimination, citing its “publicly announced percentage quotas in 2019 for hiring and promotion on the basis of race and other categories prohibited by civil rights laws.”

The order suspended security clearances for the firm’s lawyers and barred them from federal buildings, prohibited the government from engaging the firm, directed federal contractors to disclose if they use the firm’s services, and referred the firm to be investigated for violating civil rights laws. The order was one of several similar orders issued, or contemplated, against leading law firms.

Howell, an Obama appointee, previously served as chief judge for the District of Columbia, in which capacity she was a strong supporter of Jack Smith’s Trump prosecution. Her 120-page opinion excoriated the administration for disregarding the First Amendment and failing to comply with her orders. She criticized the content and formatting of the Justice Department’s memoranda, averred that the government had no credible evidence of racial discrimination or other wrongdoing by Perkins Coie, and rejected all of its arguments.

Howell is right that the First Amendment and principles of American justice mandate that lawyers be able to deliver candid advice and zealous advocacy to their clients. But,she goes too far by ignoring the compelling case that Perkins Coie conspired with Hillary Clinton and Fusion GPS to improperly influence the 2016 election and destabilize the Trump presidency by developing the fraudulent Steele dossier (which falsely accused Trump of being a Russian agent), and then misleading government investigators about its provenance.

She began her decision by quoting Shakespeare’s admonition to “kill all the lawyers” to make it easier to seize power, and Alexis de Tocqueville, who wrote that the legal profession “is the most powerful existing security against the excesses of democracy.” Howell then held that “using the powers of the federal government to target lawyers for their representation of clients and avowed progressive employment policies in an overt attempt to suppress and punish certain viewpoints…, is contrary to the Constitution, which requires that the government respond to dissenting or unpopular speech or ideas with tolerance, not coercion…. Simply put, government officials cannot… use the power of the State to punish or suppress disfavored expression.”

Access to unvarnished legal advice is sacrosanct, but Howell goes off the rails. She never acknowledges that much of Perkins Coie’s wrongdoing had nothing to do with its legal advice, but came in its capacity as a political kingpin. She bewilderingly asserts that using the firm’s admissions of racial discrimination violates its First Amendment rights. Her related attack on the administration’s opposition to diversity programs reveals her motives for this bizarre conclusion. (Read more: RealClearWire, 5/10/2025)  (Archive)

May 10, 2025 – Weaponization czar Ed Martin quietly probed Russiagate foes for months, teases ‘no limit to the targets’

(…) “There was no limit to the weaponization,” Martin told The New York Post. “So there may be no limit to the targets.”

“It’s a nationwide and frankly, international docket where the government was used against the citizens, where the government was weaponized,” he added.

“Sometimes there’ll be crimes involved, in which case we’ll prosecute. Sometimes there’ll be just the need to make clear this is not how it’s supposed to go.”

While the Senate was busy playing games, Martin was already wielding his authority behind the scenes.

As interim U.S. attorney, he demoted multiple prosecutors involved in the politically charged January 6th cases and began launching fresh inquiries into Russiagate actors.

Mueller’s infamous “pitbull,” Andrew Weissmann; DOJ insider Mary McCord; and disgraced former FBI counterintelligence chief Charles McGonigal—who is now serving a prison sentence for colluding with sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska—were all key players in the Trump-Russia saga.

More from the New York Post:

Just last week, Martin’s office fired off an email to McGonigal’s attorney, asking for an interview with him over “information [that] has come to the attention of my office,” according to a copy of the letter first seen by The Post.

Based on the letter, it is not clear what Martin’s team unearthed about McGonigal, who is now ironically serving out a 78-month sentence for colluding with a Russian oligarch to evade US sanctions and concealing information from the feds about how he received $225,000 from someone linked to the Albanian government.

[…] Perhaps the most high-profile known target Martin pursued is Weissman, who was the top lieutenant of the Mueller probe and is now an MSNBC legal analyst.

In March, Martin raised conflict of interest concerns against Weissman over his role in signing off on a settlement of up to $4.5 billion in a foreign bribery case revolving around Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht while serving as chief of the Criminal Fraud Section of the Justice Department in 2016.

Martin pointed out that Weissman worked for the Jenner & Block law firm before leading the DOJ’s Criminal Fraud Section.

Jenner & Block represented Canadian private equity firm Brookfield Asset Management, which seemingly took advantage of the fallout from the bribery case and purchased a 57% stake from Odebrecht in Peruvian toll road authority Rutas de Lima in 2016.

May 12, 2025 – Tim Tebow reveals a map of 111,000 unique IP addresses in America that are downloading child porn of kids under 12

Tim Tebow reveals to Shawn Ryan a map of 111,000 IPs downloading child porn of kids under 12 in 30 days, and urges Congress to act:

I’m sitting down today with Tim Tebow, a man whose platform spans from football fields to global humanitarian efforts, as he shares his mission to fight human trafficking and rescue the world’s most vulnerable. In this powerful conversation, Tim opens up about the harrowing realities of child sex exploitation, the moment his father’s bold rescue of four trafficked girls changed their lives forever, and the urgent need for legislative action through the Renewed Hope Act. He urges listeners to stand up, speak out, and contact their representatives to help pass this crucial bill, aimed at rescuing and restoring tens of thousands of unidentified and exploited children.

Via RealClearPolitics, 5/13/2025:

TIM TEBOW: Specifically, our heart is to get to as many and leverage anything and everything we can so that they can get out of this evil.

As I mentioned earlier, you think so much is done by all these groups and gangs, and yes, that does take place in a lot of areas. But man, it’s overwhelming when you think how much is done by families, by friends, by those in the trusted circle. Especially when we talk about the fight against child exploitation and child sexual abuse, it’s off the charts what is being done in families.

Do you know what’s—I want to say most disappointing, but maybe one of the most heartbreaking? Do you know the number one offender? Biological fathers. Man, it’s not going to make your day.

I brought a map to share with you. This is the map—every red dot on that. First of all, that is a DOJ law enforcement map; it’s called the Red Dot Map. Every red dot on that map is at least one unique IP address of individuals downloading, sharing, distributing child abuse and rape images under the age of 12. There’s over 111,000 of them just in the U.S. in the last 30 days. Wow. I wanted to bring that because I think it brings to life so much of the evil that we’re trying to face.

People will say, “Well, that’s just over there, and it’s in those countries and all of those places.” And it’s not, Sean. It’s right here in our backyard. It is right here. Out of everyone, some people will say, “Okay, well, they’re just downloading and sharing it and distributing it.” But 55 to 85% are also hands-on offenders, and your average offender has 13 victims in their lifetime—13 victims. Every one of those red dots, there’s a boy or girl that is suffering on the other end of what they’re sharing, downloading, or distributing.

I wanted to share that with you because I know that your heart breaks for them, and I think that map brings to life the evil that we’re trying to fight. It’s why one of our hearts is to get the Renewed Hope Act passed through Congress. It takes the law enforcement officers right now and victim identification officers at C3—they’re amazing, some of my favorite people in the world—but there’s seven of them right now at C3. Seven people. Also, ICAC is working on that; we love ICAC, and we need to enhance their funding because they desperately need it. Internet Crimes Against Children—they’re awesome, 62 locations around the country, but primarily the ones that are also working on this are at C3.

We want to get the Renewed Hope Act passed because it would take it from 7 to 200. Now we have a much greater chance if we have all of those officers that are trained and equipped to be fighting against this evil. Again, that’s the last 30 days, and that’s not getting into livestreaming or extortion or grooming or so many of the other issues we’re fighting. That is just in peer-to-peer networks of them sharing and distributing child rape images under the age of 12.

SHAWN RYAN: 12 and under. 111,423 unique IP addresses.

TIM TEBOW: Some people will say, “Well, that’s just, you know, they’re just downloading it and they’re just sharing it.” No, it’s not just that easy. You have to go in, you have to download it, a peer-to-peer, and then you have to be able to download all of these images, and then you’re sharing them. It’s not like this just happens by accident. It’s not like, “Oh, I just looked at a bad picture,” and it’s not like this is a photo of a baby in a bathtub. No, so many of these are brutal, brutal abuse of children.

When we go back to those 50,000 boys and girls that are unknown in the ICAC database that we were talking about before, out of those 57,000, over 3,000 of them were infants or toddlers. If you say what’s on our heart—man, these are boys and girls that can’t fight for themselves. They can’t defend themselves, and yet so many of us, myself for so long, did nothing to defend or stand up for them. It is our heart that we would rally an army, and maybe we would even declare a national emergency to fight this evil. This is happening in our backyard.

Out of all those that have been rescued or safeguarded from Renewed Hope 1, 2, and 3, more than half of those boys and girls have been right here in the U.S. So, we think it’s over there, it’s over there, it’s over there—no. Yes, it is happening in other places, but it is happening in our country, right here in our neighborhoods, in our backyards, in our families.

Then we get into the fight against livestreaming. Do you know the number one payer of livestream rape of boys and girls around the world? Us. Us—not close. In peer-to-peer sharing, we’re third: China, Russia, America. Man, sorry, I do get fired up about it.

SHAWN RYAN: How are we combating this?

TIM TEBOW: Well, we’re trying to do it in every area and every way possible, whether that’s with partnerships and nonprofits and law enforcement, rallying task forces, legislation, and lobbying—trying to get them to enhance the army, per se, in fighting this. That’s really what the Renewed Hope Act is for, but it’s also getting the Renewed Hope operations more and more. We’re having more and more every day.

It’s also creating awareness, and I hate to use “awareness” because people say it all the time, and I don’t want awareness for awareness’s sake. I want people to be aware so we act to do something. I think we really have to change laws and legislation. I believe there’s a lot of people in Congress and in D.C. that want to change it, but we have to get it done. We have to protect these boys and girls. I know we have to figure out budgets and balances and all these important things, but what does it matter if we figure out a budget but our boys and girls in our backyard are being raped and abused? Let’s make the main thing the main thing. This should be a main thing. This has to be a main thing.

Here’s the full conversation:

May 13, 2025 – For years CNN’s Jake Tapper denied Biden’s cognitive decline, until he wrote a book about it

After spending years helping cover up Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline, Russia collusion hoaxer and left-wing propagandist Jake Tapper is now trying to gaslight Americans into believing he had nothing to do with the media-wide scandal.

The CNN host spent Tuesday hawking his upcoming book on X, which promises readers an inside look at the Biden administration’s efforts to hide the Delaware Democrat’s “health issues” — efforts the media were more than happy to participate in. Despite his best attempts to feign innocence on the subject, Tapper was one of the main leftist hacks leading the media campaign to try and convince Americans that the doddering Biden on their television screens was just a figment of their imaginations.

Here are a few examples of Tapper engaging in the cover-up.

May 13, 2025 – A federal judge strips NYC of control over Rikers Island

Rikers Island (Credit: public domain)

A federal judge has stripped the city of control over its notorious Rikers Island jail complex, citing “unprecedented” levels of violence, systemic mismanagement, and a blatant disregard for court orders.

In a scathing 77-page ruling released Tuesday, Chief U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain officially stripped New York City and its Department of Correction (DOC) of full control over Rikers Island, citing a decade of failure to protect inmates from “grave and immediate” harm, including unconstitutional levels of violence, abuse, and systemic mismanagement.

The ruling, issued in the landmark Nunez v. City of New York case, appoints an independent “Nunez Remediation Manager” to take control over key safety and use-of-force functions at Rikers.

The decision comes after Judge Swain previously found the City in civil contempt of 18 separate provisions of the Consent Judgment and multiple court orders dating back to 2015.

The DOC was cited for repeated failures to address excessive use of force, violent incidents, inadequate staff supervision, and failure to protect incarcerated youth.

Despite nearly a decade of oversight by a federal Monitor and more than 700 expert recommendations, the court concluded that the City had failed to make meaningful progress.

“Nine years have passed since the parties first agreed that the perilous conditions in the Rikers Island jails were unconstitutional; that the level of unconstitutional danger has not improved for the people who live and work in the jails is both alarming and unacceptable,” Swain wrote.

(…) Instead, the court opted for an independent Remediation Manager — a move that, while stopping short of a full federal takeover, functionally removes the City from control of the jail’s most critical safety operations.

The court-empowered official will report directly to Judge Swain and will have authority to:

Implement and revise DOC policies related to use of force and safety.
Hire, fire, or reassign staff to enforce compliance.
Oversee disciplinary systems for officers accused of misconduct.
Procure security technology and override bureaucratic delays.
Petition the court to bypass city contracts or laws that hinder reform.
The new Remediation Manager will report directly to the Court, not City Hall.

May 13, 2025 – A federal grand jury indicts Judge Hannah Dugan on charges she helped an illegal alien escape arrest from ICE

A federal grand jury indicted Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan on May 13 on charges that she tried to assist an undocumented immigrant escape arrest from her courtroom last month, putting her at the center of the growing dispute between President Donald Trump and the judiciary.

The two-page indictment accuses Dugan, 66, of obstructing a U.S. agency and concealing an individual to prevent an arrest. The two charges carry a maximum penalty of six years in prison and a $350,000 fine, but sentences in cases involving nonviolent offenses typically are much shorter.

Dugan is expected to enter a plea at a May 15 hearing. But members of her defense team issued this statement: “As she said after her unnecessary arrest, Judge Dugan asserts her innocence and looks forward to being vindicated in court.”

The indictment came after a string of witnesses entered the federal courthouse throughout the day on May 13 to testify before the grand jury.

Among those making appearances were Alan Freed Jr., Dugan’s court clerk, and Mercedes de la Rosa, who was the attorney for Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, the undocumented immigrant at the center of the case. De la Rosa has withdrawn from his case. (Read more: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 5/13/2025)  (Archive)

May 14, 2025 – Hillary Clinton accuses Trump of pay-to-play for considering Qatar’s offer to give a 747 Boeing jet to U.S. Air Force

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was criticized over comments she made accusing President Donald Trump of pay-for-play regarding reports that Qatar is giving the Trump administration a luxury Boeing 747 jet free of charge, to temporarily replace Air Force One.

“No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return,” Clinton wrote in a post on X. “Be serious.”

Clinton’s post comes after “sources familiar with the proposed arrangement” told ABC News that the Trump administration reportedly is in talks “to accept” the luxury jet, which will “initially be transferred to the United States Air Force.”

Prior to Trump leaving office in 2029, ownership of the luxury jet, which has been described as “a flying palace,” will be transferred over to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation:

The plane will initially be transferred to the United States Air Force, which will modify the 13-year-old aircraft to meet the U.S. military specifications required for any aircraft used to transport the president of the United States, multiple sources familiar with the proposed arrangement said.

The plane will then be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation no later than Jan. 1, 2029, and any costs relating to its transfer will be paid for by the U.S. Air Force, the sources told ABC News.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump previously suggested that the Trump administration is preparing to accept the luxury Boeing jet from Qatar as a “GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE,” adding that the “very public and transparent transaction” bothers Democrats.

As Breitbart News reported, in his book Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, Peter Schweizer detailed “explosive revelations about Clinton’s tenure as Sec. of State and the influx of hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign sources into the Clinton Foundation”:

Yet as media outlets across the ideological spectrum have confirmed and verified the book’s explosive revelations about Clinton’s tenure as Sec. of State and the influx of hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign sources into the Clinton Foundation, the nation has learned much it did not know. Subsequent reporting by national news outlets has expanded on the book’s findings using its investigative methodology.

May 14, 2025 – DOJ embeds fight back – Ethics complaints filed against outgoing DC U.S. Attorney Ed Martin

If you listened to Ed Martin naming the people within the lawfare community of DC operatives who are actively working to weaponize the legal system to block and attack reform efforts within the DOJ, then you likely understand the origin of these latest maneuvers.

Outgoing USAO Ed Martin, and current head of the DOJ ‘weaponization working group’ has revealed that Lawfare operators have filed ethics complaints in an effort to challenge his legal license.   This is what happens when the U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, doesn’t face down the internal lawfare operation within Main Justice severely enough.

(VIA REUTERS) – The lawyer President Donald Trump tapped to serve as Washington, D.C.’s top prosecutor and then dropped in the face of Senate opposition, said on Wednesday he is facing a professional ethics investigation, according to a letter seen by Reuters.

Interim Washington U.S. Attorney Ed Martin said in the letter sent to his staff on his last day on the job that he is under investigation by the D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel. The office is in charge of investigating and bringing misconduct proceedings against attorneys in the district.

Martin alleged that Hamilton “Phil” Fox, the attorney investigating his conduct, had breached the confidentiality of the investigation by sharing a copy of the complaint with the department’s Civil Division.

“It is an outrage how they treat us and I will continue the fight against the weaponization of our law licenses against us,” Martin wrote in an email.
“I am taking on Mr. Fox head on. His conduct is personally insulting and professionally unacceptable.”

Fox declined to comment on Martin’s claims, citing confidentiality rules.

In the email, Martin attached a copy of a May 9 letter he sent to Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals asking her to investigate and suspend Fox, and to dismiss the complaint filed against him. Martin’s letter did not specify the nature of the ethics allegations filed against him.

There have been at least five formal ethics complaints filed against Martin that were made public by nonprofit watchdog groups, ethics experts and members of Congress during his brief tenure as interim U.S. attorney.

At least one of those complaints has since been closed, after Fox concluded that Martin did not technically violate disciplinary rules when he filed a motion to dismiss a case against a person charged with taking part in the January 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol whom he had previously represented in private practice.

Tucker Carlson Interviews Ed Martin – The Scale of Corruption within the DOJ and FBI are “Much, Much Worse Than People Think”

As the Washington DC U.S. Attorney, Ed Martin was in position to address the known and documented activity of a variety of former DOJ officials. There’s a strong argument to be made that’s the reason why the DOJ’s corrupt allies in congress moved to eliminate the threat Martin represented. However, their collective result didn’t remove him, nor did it change the objective, it just changed Mr Martin’s title.

Washington DC USAO Ed Martin carried the authority of the Attorney General, in the changed dynamic special appointee ADAG Ed Martin now carries the authority of the President of the United States to investigate a weaponized DOJ/FBI apparatus. It became a serendipitous outcome.

In this episode of Tucker Carlson the former Fox News host interviews the head of the newly formed ‘weaponization working group’ Ed Martin. Within the interview Martin outlines the mysterious motives of the FBI handling of the J6 “pipe bomber” case, alleging that basic investigative steps were overlooked. “They didn’t interview some of the people that you would have said, ‘That might be a suspect.’ They hadn’t interviewed him,” he said. Raising concerns about the agency’s competence, he added, “The question becomes, ‘what’s happening here?’ Is it incompetence? It feels worse than incompetence.”

When asked by Carlson whether the DOJ is worse than people believe, Martin went further, declaring, “I think it’s worse than incompetence.” “The only way forward is not to describe what I think of the motives but to expose over and over again what’s happened. If you expose what happened and the truth gets out, then accountability is possible.” Martin then described the issues facing the DOJ as “much, much worse than people think.” WATCH:

May 15, 2025 – Legislative proposal: “Restoring Constitutional Mandate for Congress to Set Rules for the Federal Courts Act”

AI generated/Gateway Pundit)

A bold legislative proposal, the “Restoring Constitutional Mandate for Congress to Set Rules for the Federal Courts Act,” seeks to rein in what its author warns is an existential crisis – a “judicial coup” targeting President Donald Trump and the American people.

Jonathon Mosely (Credit: public domain)

Drafted by Jonathon Moseley, a 24-year legal veteran and founder of the Patriot Legal Defense Fund, the bill aims to rescind the Rules Enabling Act. The Constitution empowers Congress to set the rules for the Federal courts.

But Congress generously trusted the U.S. Supreme Court with this honor and prestige. The bill includes a rebuke of U.S. Supreme Court Justices who have abused their constitutional role.

On May 12, Chief Justice John Roberts – who never criticizes misconduct by judges, politicized lawfare, or abuses against conservatives – issued his third attack on President Trump.

Roberts has not seemed to grasp that respect is earned, not demanded.  But when judges like Roberts criticize only one side of the political world, they lose all credibility.

Roberts made similar veiled threats against the Trump Administration in Buffalo on May 7, the week before.

The previous week Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson added to a seemingly-coordinated drum beat.

On May 8, Justice Sonia Sotomayor basically rallied the nation’s lawyers to fight an insurrection against Republican officials, speaking at the American Bar Association.

Moseley argues that judges should never be speaking outside the courthouse to maintain the public trust.

“The ABA has sued Trump over federal grant terminations,” yet Sotomayor was speaking to a litigant in an active lawsuit.

Active members of the ABA are already the most left-wing and activist lawyers compared to most attorneys just working for clients.

Jackson openly urged lawyers to fight the Trump Administration, with very few coy, thinly-veiled allusions.

“The judiciary has really turned into fighting a war against Donald Trump and what he stands for, and we cannot allow this to go unanswered,” Moseley told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview.

“Their plan: if they can stop the President, they can stop all of us.  We used to be able to trust the Supreme Court to correct abuses, but the Supreme Court has gone woke.”

Moseley adds that the Justices have misunderstood “Supreme” and let that word go to their heads.  “Justice Amy Comey Barrett now seems to be getting her legal briefings and scorn for Trump from MSNBC.”

The proposed measure argues that the current system has enabled lower courts to undermine justice.  “Congress cannot change the existence of the Supreme Court because it’s in the Constitution,” he said.

But the bill would rescind the Rules Enabling Act (28 U.S.C. §§ 2071–2077), which delegated Congress’s constitutional power to the Supreme Court to establish how lower federal courts operate.

The proposed measure argues that the current system has enabled lower courts to undermine justice, particularly in politically charged cases involving Trump and his supporters.

The bill asserts that trusting the Supreme Court has led to “disappointment and widespread injustice,” including:

  • Nationwide injunctions by cherry-picked single, biased lower court judges.
  • “Deadlines… which have become in and of themselves unjust and harmful to many seeking their legal rights in court” such as 14 days to challenge a conviction under Rules 29 and 33.
  • “Resistance to changes of venue necessary to give the public confidence in the appearance and the reality of an unbiased judge and juries.”
  • “Illogical, inconsistent, and unconvincing admission of evidence….”

“Whenever there was evidence that a January 6 defendant was innocent, that was not allowed; whenever there was evidence that the defendant was guilty, that was allowed,” Moseley explained.  By reforming court rules, the bill seeks to prevent such injustices, ensuring fair trials for all citizens.

May 15, 2025 – Hillary Clinton slams Trump for wanting more American babies and says that’s what immigrants are for

Hillary’s argument that immigration-driven population growth is the solution to economic stagnation is a direct admission of failed leadership. The real issue? Washington’s refusal to address the root causes of declining birth rates—crushing inflation, unaffordable childcare, and stagnant wages caused by decades of reckless spending and open-border policies.

Families shouldn’t need to rely on immigration to prop up the economy; they deserve a government that makes raising children feasible through tax relief, deregulation, and policies that prioritize American workers. The FARM Act, Section 3, already proves we can defend domestic industries without outsourcing labor.

If D.C. spent less on foreign aid and more on slashing costs for housing, healthcare, and education, families wouldn’t be forced into this false choice. Immigration isn’t a substitute for competent governance—it’s a band-aid for systemic rot.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired two veteran intelligence officials because they oppose President Donald Trump, her office said, coming a week after the release of a declassified memo written by their agency that contradicted statements the Trump administration has used to justify deporting Venezuelan immigrants.

Mike Collins was serving as acting chair of the National Intelligence Council before he was dismissed alongside his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof. They each had more than 25 years of intelligence experience. The two were fired because of their opposition to Trump, Gabbard’s office said in an email, without offering examples.

“The director is working alongside President Trump to end the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community,” the office said. ( Read more: PBS, 5/15/2025)  (Archive)

May 15, 2025 – James Comey posts a picture he allegedly took on a beach suggesting the assassination of Trump

NEW: The Secret Service can force James Comey to be interviewed about his threatening social media post about Trump, according to two Secret Service sources.

If he refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service case agent can apply for a subpoena through the assistant U.S. attorney and force him to answer their questions.

As an attorney, he will likely refuse to be interviewed without hiring an attorney and having that person present to provide counsel before answering Secret Service agents’ questions.

On the other hand, Comey could agree to demonstrate how open and transparent he is and agree to cooperate and sit down for an interview.

May 16, 2025 – The audio of Joe Biden’s October 2023 interview with special counsel Robert Hur is released

Axios obtained audio of Joe Biden’s October 2023 interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

“Amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn’t have had.”

How did Axios get this?

He clearly had severe dementia in 2020.

If Biden had won in 2024, the same media outlets now pretending to expose the truth would still be covering it up.

May 16, 2025 – A powerful new tool that indexes the National Endowment for Democracy journal; Reveals strong ties between Soros and intelligence community

EXPOSED: Soros, the Deep State & the Shadow Network

Today, I launched a powerful new tool that indexes the National Endowment for Democracy journal… and here’s what it uncovers:

Dozen-plus Open Society Foundation staff, funded by George Soros, are writing in a U.S. government-backed journal.

That journal is part of our taxpayer-funded National Endowment for Democracy, a quasi-government operation tied to foreign “democracy” missions- and Congress sits on its board.

No conspiracy theories. This is hard data.

This proves Soros and our intelligence apparatus are deeply intertwined.

The National Endowment for Democracy’s “democracy promotion” has always been a taxpayer-funded grift masquerading as virtue. For decades, NED shoveled billions into regime-change operations under the guise of “civil society” grants while ignoring the rot at home. The Journal of Democracy isn’t a scholarly endeavor—it’s a laundering machine for narratives that justify foreign meddling and censorship.

When NGOs like the National Democratic Institute (funded by NED, State Department, and USAID) embed operatives like Michael McFaul across governments, it’s not about freedom—it’s about manufacturing consent for endless foreign entanglements. Meanwhile, bridges crumble in Ohio, fentanyl floods our borders, and D.C. lectures us about “democratic values.”

Real accountability means auditing every cent NED spends on Soros-tied NGOs and redirecting those funds to AMERICAN priorities—border security, energy independence, and crushing inflation. The swamp won’t drain itself.

May 17, 2025 – Ex-White House staffer reveals Hillary Clinton’s appalling secrets and blames her for ‘Schindler’s List’ atmosphere

A former Clinton administration staffer claimed that Hillary Clinton was so detested during her husband’s time in the White House that she was known as a ‘Nazi schoolmarm’ who made aides run in fear.

Buzz Patterson, the former Air Force Aide to Bill Clinton who carried the ‘nuclear football’ wherever the president went, took to X to reveal intimate details of the former First Couple.

He said he primarily lived in the White House and was ‘always in close proximity to both Bill and Hill’, which made him quickly learn that the mood of the day ‘depended solely on the presence or absence of Hillary.’

‘We used to say that when Hillary was gone, it was a frat party. When she was home, it was Schindler’s List,” Patterson wrote in a scathing X post that has received over five million views.

Patterson served as Clinton’s Senior Military Aide from 1996 to 1998, and his role saw him carry the ‘Presidential Emergency Satchel’ to allow the president to launch a nuclear strike from anywhere in the world.

He said in his X post that the day-to-day work for Clinton varied dramatically based on Hillary’s whims, as he scathingly described her as ‘evil, vindictive, profane’ and ‘a b****.’

‘Among the military who served in the White House and the professional White House staff, the Clinton administration was infamously known for its lack of professionalism and courtesy, though few ever spoke about it,’ he wrote.

‘But when it came to rudeness, it was Hillary Clinton who was the most feared person in the administration. She set the tone.’

Patterson, an outspoken Donald Trump supporter, said he was warned from the get-go that Hillary Clinton was the most daunting figure in the White House, not her president husband.

‘When I first arrived to work in the White House, my predecessor warned me: ‘You can get away with pissing off Bill but if you make her mad, she’ll rip your heart out,” he wrote.

‘I heeded those words. I did make him mad a few times, but I never really pissed her off. I knew the ramifications.’

In a response to an X user asking what he did that ‘pissed off’ Clinton, Patterson said he once didn’t let him go to a restaurant when he was hungry because the Secret Service hadn’t swept it.

He said while these small issues could be brushed over by Bill, Patterson ‘realized there were different rules for Hillary.’

‘She instructed the senior staff, including me, that she didn’t want to be forced to encounter us,’ he said, adding that staff were seen scrambling to avoid her ‘no matter their position in the building.’

‘Many a time, I’d see mature, professional adults, working in the most important building in the world, scurrying into office doorways to escape Hillary’s line of sight,’ he wrote.

‘She was the Nazi schoolmarm and the rest of us were expected to hide as though we were kids in trouble.’

May 17, 2025 – Trump retruth’s a meme: “All Roads Lead to Obama” – “Retruth If You Want Military Tribunals”

May 17, 2025 – Rep. James Comer says staffers behind Biden’s Auto-Pen scandal have been identified – Subpoenas coming

Rep. James Comer believes they’ve identified the staffers involved “in the use of the autopen” when Biden was “clearly in mental decline.”

“It questions who was actually making the decisions…Many of these executive orders, as well as the pardons of Biden’s entire family as a result of our investigation, these were all signed with the autopen. And clearly from that interview, which was many many months prior to the heavy use of the autopen, Joe Biden wasn’t capable of making decisions. He wasn’t coherent.”

Comer says anyone involved in the use of the autopen will be invited for “a transcribed interview,” then they will “receive a subpoena and they will have a full-blown deposition.”

“We want to find out who was actually making the decisions in the White House during the last nine months of the Biden administration when he was clearly in mental decline.”

May 17, 2025 – Merrick Garland was AG in name only for a specific reason

There has been a lot of discussion about who was running the Biden administration against the backdrop of numerous revelations about his cognitive incapacity while in office.  However, one key point keeps being overlooked about the DOJ during his tenure.

Merrick Garland was not selected to be Joe Biden’s Attorney General because the crew in control of the events wanted Merrick Garland as Attorney General.  Garland was removed from his position as DC Circuit Court Justice in order to make room for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to take Garland’s place, get Senate confirmed and then await the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer. {GO DEEP}

As a standalone Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would have been a radical pick.  Judge Brown-Jackson was a known activist in the DC District Court; however, by removing Garland as chief circuit justice and replacing him with KBJ, who needed Senate confirmation as chief circuit justice, she could get through a later Senate confirmation easier and then sit on the Supreme Court for thirty years.  Garland was removed to make room for KBJ.  It was a strategy.

Garland was a U.S. Attorney General in name only.  The actual lead of the DOJ was from Obama’s crew, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco.

WHY?

Barack Obama and Eric Holder (Credit: Olivier Douliery/Getty Images)

Back in 2009 President Obama selected Eric Holder to be Attorney General.  AG Holder’s role was to lead the Lawfare ‘fundamental transformation’ we have seen in the 16 years since.  In the 2010 midterms, Obama was “shellacked,” that triggered AG Holder to ask the Treasury Department to participate in a “special research project.” {Go Deep}

The IRS was asked for the Schedule-B’s of groups who were registered as “patriot” groups (Tea Party Patriots) and other names associated with the political uprising against Barack Obama and the takeover of federal healthcare, ie Obamacare.   The Cincinnati field office of the IRS then sent the DOJ a batch of CD-ROM’s containing the names of the individual donors listed on the IRS 501-c (3)(4) forms.  That list was then compiled and used by the federal government to target the donors and supporters.  A whistleblower came forward; the IRS controversy swirled in 2012.

Loretta Lynch (Credit: Jacquelyn Martin/The Associated Press)

On September 25, 2014, the Justice Department said Attorney General Eric Holder would resign as soon as his successor is confirmed. Holder was succeeded by Loretta Lynch on April 27, 2015. Lynch was selected because she was the bridge to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. Remember the Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting?  It’s all connected.

[Sidebar – the reporter who broke the story of the Arizona Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting later died from “suicide.”]

Summary so far:  Obama appointed Holder to lead and create the weaponized Lawfare transition within Main Justice.  Eric Holder did just that, and also created the DOJ-National Security Division (to use FARA investigations against DC operatives as leverage).  Holder then left the DOJ, took the special research project data, and went to work in California.  Loretta Lynch was then appointed as the transitional AG between Obama and Hillary Clinton.  That was the plan.  The DOJ/FBI would protect Clinton’s interests, and that’s exactly what they did in 2015 and 2016.

Eric Holder was then hired by the State of California right after the surprising and unexpected election result of 2016 [LINK].  Eric Holder then began constructing the BETA test for what was to come later.  Eric Holder organized the motor-voter rolls in California to auto-register illegal alien voters.  The California legislature passed a law permitting illegal aliens to get drivers licenses.  Eric Holder’s program linked those drivers licenses automatically to voter registration.  Do you remember the 2018 mid-term election in California?

For weeks after 2018 election day in California, the new process of mail-in ballots changed the entire election day outcome.  California was the BETA test for the national 2020 mail-in ballot fraud system.  It all links back to the California ballot and illegal alien voter registration operation carried out by Eric Holder.

Eric Holder was Obama’s weaponized Attorney General (2009-2015).  Loretta Lynch was the Attorney General in place to facilitate the transition to Hillary Clinton (2015-2016). Merrick Garland was Biden’s Attorney General (2021) to pave the way for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice (2022).  Lisa Monaco was the person running the day-to-day DOJ operations (2021-2025).

KBJ was put into the planning book back in February 2020, yes, 2020!

It was February 25th, 2020, to be precise, just four days before the South Carolina Democrat primary.  South Carolina Representative James Clyburn went backstage at the presidential debate and told Biden, “You’ve had a couple of opportunities to mention naming a Black woman to the Supreme Court,” Clyburn lectured his friend of nearly half a century, like a schoolteacher scolding a child. “I’m telling you, don’t you leave the stage tonight without making it known that you will do that.” {link}

Unbeknownst to Biden at the time, just two days earlier Barack Obama and James Clyburn came to an agreement and created the most consequential alliance of the 2020 Democrat campaign.  Barack Obama the figurative and ideological leader of the movement known as “Black Lives Matter”, and James Clyburn the figurative and ideological leader of the political construct within the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church, had struck a deal.

Obama and Clyburn really had no choice but to come to an agreement and form the alliance.  If they did not act fast, Bernie Sanders was gaining momentum, and they could not have Sanders at the top of the 2020 ticket, because he was too outside the club system which was now almost exclusively focused on racial identity as a tool for political power.

A Bernie Sanders -vs- Donald Trump general election would have been a disaster; and it would be almost impossible for the racial operatives in the key precincts [Atlanta (GA), Philly (PA), Clark County (NV), Wayne County (Mich), Madison (WI)] to feel inspired enough to risk themselves and commit fraud to help Bernie win.

To get rid of Sanders, BLM and AME aligned.  This was the actual moment when Hillary Clinton was cast into the pit of irrelevance in Democrat politics.

Within the agreement, Obama and Clyburn selected Biden as the tool they could easily control to deliver on their larger, progressive, leftist intentions.

A few days later, James Clyburn then endorsed Biden while Barack Obama began making phone calls telling each of the other candidates to drop out in sequence and support Biden or else the club would destroy them.  The only one told not to drop out yet was Elizabeth Warren, as she would be needed as the insurance policy, the splitter against Bernie Sanders.

Each of the candidates was promised the traditional indulgences for toeing the party line, and the rest is history.  Joe Biden wandered around doing what everyone told him to do, which was mostly stay in his basement and let the club work on his behalf, until the club delivered the nomination.

Inside that process, the strategic map was modified to ensure Ketanji Brown-Jackson would advance to the Supreme Court.

With Biden installed, he would select Merrick Garland as his Attorney General.  Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court.  Garland’s replacement would need to be a Senate confirmed seat for that Circuit Court assignment. Brown-Jackson would be put into Garland’s open spot, and the Senate could not deny her the SCOTUS confirmation, having just confirmed her months before. {Go Deep}

It was always the team around -and including- Barack Obama operating in the background of Biden.

May 17, 2025 – President Trump asks a looming question, who was behind the Biden Auto-Pen?

A popular meme on X.com (Credit: unknown)

At first blush the question seems curious, but when you further think about it the question becomes rather important.  If Joe Biden was not cognitively aware of what was happening around the office of the president, then who exactly was controlling the use of his signature via the auto-pen?

In a functioning democracy with a purposefully curious media, the fourth estate would be demanding a congressional investigation to get the answers and context for who was really carrying out the agenda of the Biden administration.  Unfortunately, as a nation we lost that ‘fourth estate’ a long time ago, and congress is of no help.  President Trump:

…”Whoever had control of the “AUTOPEN” is looking to be a bigger and bigger scandal by the moment. It is a major part of the real crime, THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN! Millions and millions of people knew that, but the Radical Left Democrats waged a campaign of inoculation and innocence like none that had ever been waged before. THIS IS WHY THE UNSELECT COMMITTEE OF POLITICAL THUGS, WHO WERE GIVEN A FULL AND COMPLETE PARDON BY THE PERSON WHO WIELDED THE NOW ILLEGALLY USED AUTOPEN, DELETED AND DESTROYED ALL EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION FROM THEIR CORRUPT AND VICIOUS WITCH HUNT AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE, WHOSE LIVES WERE COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND DESTROYED BY THIS HISTORICALLY CRIMINAL EVENT. Remember, it all began with DIRTY COP James Comey, Obama, a hapless and cognitively impaired Sleepy Joe Biden, and my now very famous ACCUSATION that,“THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!” Whoever had control of the Autopen is just the beginning. The biggest crime of all is that THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED! I (MAGA!) WON THE ELECTION BY MILLIONS OF VOTES, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. GOD BLESS AMERICA, FOR THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN!!!” (source)

May 17, 2025 – Trump posts video compilation of mysterious deaths and ‘suicides’ linked to Hillary Clinton

Trump posted a video titled, “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” that documented just some of the mysterious ‘suicides’ linked to the Clinton Crime family.

The video touched on the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, Clinton White House Counsel Vince Foster, Clinton White House intern Mary Mahoney, and others connected to the Clintons.

In July 1999, Hillary Clinton’s senate rival and front-runner for NY senate seat John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash.

Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern who could have been a star witness at the Clinton impeachment trials. She was executed at a DC Starbucks in July 1997.

In July 1993, White House Counsel Vince Foster was found dead of an apparent ‘suicide’ in Fort Marcy Park off the George Washington Parkway in Virginia.

In 1998, James McDougal, a key witness for White House prosecutors and financial partners with Bill and Hillary Clinton that led to the Whitewater scandal, died of cardiac arrest at the Federal Correctional Facility in Fort Worth, Texas, just before he was supposed to testify.

In 2015, Clinton White House Executive Chef Walter Scheib died of an ‘accidental drowning’ after he went on a hike on a trail in Taos, New Mexico. Scheib’s body was found submerged “in a mountain drainage flowing with surface runoff.”

In July 2016, DNC staffer Seth Rich was shot and killed in DC while he was walking home from a bar. It is believed that Seth Rich was the source of the Hillary Clinton/ DNC leaked emails published by Wikileaks. The Clinton/DNC emails published by Wikileaks greatly damaged Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

In August 2016, Shawn Lucas, a Bernie Sanders supporter who sued the DNC for rigging the primary in favor of Hillary Clinton was found dead in his home.

May 19, 2025 – Bernie Sanders tells comedian Andrew Schulz the Democrat Party is a ‘threat to democracy’

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) admitted that the Democrat Party is a “threat to democracy,” as some argue they have not had a fair primary election since 2008, conceding this point during an appearance on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant with Akaash Singh.

Schulz, a podcaster, actor, and comedian who identified himself as a “lifelong Democrat,” explained how disappointed he was with Sanders’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. He also pointed to the greater picture of Democrat voters feeling as though they truly have not gotten a say in who their nominee would be over the last several election cycles, as many wanted Sanders, who was viewed as an agent of radical change. However, the Democrat Party seemed to step in and quash his changes.

“We felt that over the last four elections, Democrats, we felt that we didn’t have a say on who could be president,” Schulz said. “We talk a lot about the Republicans being autocrats and oligarchs and taking over democracy, but from the Democrat perspective, and as I’m a lifelong Democrat, I felt like the Democratic Party completely removed the democratic process from its constituents.”

He called for accountability, recalling how he felt in 2016.

“I wanted you to, like, 2016 I was like, this is going to happen. This guy’s going to do it. And it felt like they, it felt like they stole it from you. And I’ll be honest, it broke my heart when you, when you supported them,” he said.

“Look, but you have, in the world that I live in, you got a choice,” Sanders responded. “And I mean, a lot of people, including my wife, agree with you, but you know, you’re down to a choice. Is it going to be Hillary Clinton or is it going to be Donald Trump? Not a great choice.”

Schulz pointed out that it ended up being Trump anyway, so “why don’t we burn it down?”

Sanders said “burning it down” means “children are not going to have, you know, food to eat, that the schools will deteriorate. People will not have health care.”

“And I, you know, I’m an elected official. I got to represent the people. I can’t turn my back on–” the senator said before Singh interjected.

“But then could not, could we not also say if, ostensibly, there hasn’t been a fair primary for the Democrats since 2008, are they not also a threat to democracy?” he asked.

Sanders had no choice but to agree.

“Fair enough,” Sanders said. “That is, that is — yeah. I’m not going to argue with that.”

May 20, 2025 – Many now question who was really running the U.S. under Biden

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer said Tuesday he wants to get to the bottom of who was really in charge when Joe Biden was president.

After President Trump raised questions during the afternoon about Biden’s alleged use of an autopen to sign executive orders, Comer asked “[W]ho would put the document in there? Who gave that staffer the authority? Was it Joe Biden or was it another staffer? We don’t believe Joe Biden knew what was going on.”

Even though the media-at-large tried to dismiss claims of any cognitive decline on Biden’s part, they seem to be coming to the conclusion that Biden’s White House engaged in a cover-up.

“This investigation now has momentum — from all places, the left-wing media,” Comer told Newsmax. “And we’re going to try to get to the bottom of this, because this is the biggest scandal in American history. Not only do you have a president whose family was on the take from our adversaries around the world, you also have a situation where some of those family members were possibly, and I would go even further and say, probably running the country.”

The House Oversight Committee is planning to subpoena Biden staff members that were operating the autopen.

“We don’t believe that autopen was authorized by Joe Biden,” Comer said. “We don’t believe that using the autopen makes these executive orders and even these pardons legal. We’re going to do this investigation. Hopefully it will benefit Trump in court as he tries to do what the American people want done. And that’s drain the swamp.” (Read more: Townhall, 5/21/2025)  (Archive)

Biden insisted he didn’t sign executive order just weeks after doing so, Speaker Johnson reveals | Matthew Sedacca, New York Post

President Biden had no clue whether or not he signed a critical executive order during a conversation last year with Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, who admitted he left the meeting fearing the nation is in “serious trouble.”

An addled Biden insisted to the Louisiana lawmaker that he never issued the order to freeze new liquid natural gas export permits — even though he signed off on it less than a month earlier.

Johnson told the Free Press’ Bari Weiss he didn’t believe Biden was lying, but was left to believe the then-81-year-old leader “genuinely didn’t know what he had signed.”

The troubling encounter happened in the Oval Office in early 2024, when the two met to discuss the latest aid package for Ukraine.

Afterwards, Johnson asked Biden why he had inked an executive order pausing new permits for American liquid natural gas export to European allies — a crucial issue for his constituents in the Bayou State, which in 2023, handled 61% of the nation’s LNG exports, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

“Why would you do that? Cause you understand we just talked about Ukraine, you understand you are fueling Vladimir Putin’s war machine, because they gotta get their gas from him,” Johnson said he told Biden.

Biden was stunned, Johnson said.

“I didn’t do that,” the president said, according to Johnson.

“Sir, you paused it, I know. I have the export terminals in my state. I talked to those people in my state, I’ve talked to those people this morning, this is doing massive damage to our economy, national security,” Johnson said he told the commander-in-chief.

Biden continued to deny that he froze the exports — and then remembered he signed the executive order, which he said was simply to study the effects of the fuel.

“I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘We are in serious trouble—who is running the country?’” Johnson said.

“Like, I don’t know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn’t know,” he said.

May 21, 2025 – Senate hearing exposes how the Biden administration deliberately hid vaccine injuries and deaths from the public

The “safe and effective” narrative just collapsed on camera.

Senator Ron Johnson brought the receipts, exposing how the Biden administration DELIBERATELY hid vaccine harms from the public.

Then Dr. James Thorp (OB-GYN) revealed miscarriage data so disturbing, it left the room silent.

This is the Senate hearing they never wanted you to see. I turned three hours of footage into a five-minute read.

Senator Ron Johnson opened the hearing with a bombshell: the Biden administration KNEW about deadly heart risks tied to the COVID shots, and deliberately kept it from the public.

Johnson released newly subpoenaed records exposing a detailed timeline of what officials knew and when. While Pfizer and Moderna received insider updates, doctors and citizens who raised concerns were silenced.

In February 2021, Israeli health officials warned the CDC of “large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people” following Pfizer injections, just two and a half months after the vaccine received emergency use authorization.

By April, the CDC was already reviewing myocarditis data from Israel and the Department of Defense. But instead of alerting the public, they stayed quiet.

By the end of that month, VAERS had recorded 2,926 deaths, nearly half of which occurred within three days of injection. “Somebody ought to be looking at it,” Johnson said.

In May, the CDC considered issuing a formal health alert—but scrapped it. They replaced it with watered-down guidance that removed a key warning for doctors to restrict physical activity in myocarditis patients.

Francis Collins, then director of the NIH, brushed it all off. “Senator, people die,” he told Johnson.

In just six months, the toll was staggering: 384,270 reports of adverse events, 4,812 deaths, and 1,736 of those occurred within just 48 hours of injection.

Dr. Peter McCullough then took the floor and dismantled the narrative surrounding vaccine-induced myocarditis.

Before COVID, McCullough had seen just two cases in his entire career. After the rollout, everything changed.

He says he’s now “examined thousands of patients with this problem.”

“There’s 1,065 papers in the peer-reviewed literature on COVID vaccine myocarditis,” he explained, pointing to a 2021 case published in the New England Journal of Medicine. A 42-year-old man developed vaccine-induced myocarditis. “The infection is ruled out,” McCullough said. “It’s the vaccine.” Three days after his Moderna shot, the man was dead.

McCullough cited a shocking case from Korea—a young man who died within eight hours of hospitalization after a Pfizer shot. His heart had been, in McCullough’s words, “fried with inflammation.”

Then came a case from Connecticut: two teenage boys, 16 and 17, died in their sleep just days after Pfizer. Their parents found them unresponsive.

“These cases… should have gotten everyone’s attention,” McCullough said. “We should never have someone die after taking a vaccine that’s directly caused to the vaccine.”

Alabama-based physician Dr. Jordan Vaughn followed up with a chilling estimate—up to 15 million Americans may be suffering from long COVID or COVID vaccine injuries.

He now treats teenagers who can’t stand up and previously healthy adults who are suffering strokes with no clear cause.

According to Vaughn, the spike protein’s S1 subunit is far from harmless. “It triggers inflammation, it disrupts endothelial barriers, it induces fibrin resistant to breakdown, and it promotes a lot of amyloid aggregates,” he said.

These effects impair oxygen delivery, damage blood vessels, and trigger a wave of symptoms—racing heart, brain fog, shortness of breath, and post-exertional crashes.

In his clinic, Vaughn uses immunofluorescent microscopy to detect the spike protein’s damage, showing up in patients who were once thriving.

He warned that the mRNA injections led to uncontrolled spike protein production, which spread throughout the body, reaching the heart, brain, ovaries, and testes.

OB-GYN Dr. James Thorp delivered one of the most haunting moments of the hearing.

He said the COVID shots “MIRRORED” the effects of chemical abortion drugs—and the government knew what it was doing.

Dr. Thorp pointed to the now-infamous Shimabukuro study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which claimed a 12.6% miscarriage rate following COVID vaccination.

But when you isolate the data for women vaccinated in the first trimester, the miscarriage rate rises to 82%, Dr. Thorp said. This 82% claim remains a topic of debate within the scientific community.

If true, “This figure mirrors the effects of chemical abort drugs,” Dr. Thorp lamented.

Attorney Aaron Siri (@AaronSiriSG) then delivered a little-known history lesson on vaccine liability.

“For every product on the market, you can SUE the manufacturer for harm,” Siri said. “There’s only ONE product in America you CANNOT sue the manufacturer to claim it could have been made safer—and that’s VACCINES.”

He explained how the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act gave pharmaceutical companies sweeping immunity, not just for three vaccines, but for every new childhood shot added to the CDC schedule.

The result? A schedule that exploded from 3 shots to 29 in the first year of life, with zero accountability.

“They don’t have the financial incentive to make them safer,” Siri said. “In fact, they have the disincentive.”

Senator Ron Johnson confronted Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, who was defending the COVID jabs at the hearing.

“I could fill this room with photos of people who are DEAD because of the COVID injection,” Johnson said. “I could fill the room,” he reiterated.

He made the comment after calling out how the vaccine-injured are still being ignored, gaslit, and denied care.

Johnson pointed to VAERS data showing 38,607 reported deaths after the shot, 9,228 of them within two days.

Multiply that by a conservative underreporting factor of 10, and the death toll climbs to over 386,000.

Dr. Peter McCullough (@P_McCulloughMD) delivered one of the most powerful moments of the hearing.

Senator Blumenthal had previously claimed the COVID vaccines “saved three million lives.”

Dr. McCullough quickly dismantled that false narrative. He delivered a three-part reality check on what actually brought COVID deaths down:

1. Natural immunity did the heavy lifting.

2. Early treatment kept people out of hospitals.

3. The virus mutated into a milder form.

“The vaccine cannot be falsely credited with saving millions of lives,” McCullough said.

“We can’t allow false drug advertising to be put up on a poster behind one of our public servants. We cannot accept that.”

Sen. Ron Johnson delivered another crushing blow to the “safe and effective” narrative—this time with a devastating chart that exposed that lie.

The chart showed that one of the biggest spikes in COVID cases and deaths occurred AFTER the vaccine rollout began in December 2020.

By mid-2021, over half the U.S. was “fully vaccinated.” But instead of improving, the numbers got worse.

If the vaccine had worked, cases and deaths would have dropped. They didn’t—and this chart makes that impossible to ignore.

Sensing the narrative was slipping, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) scrambled to defend public health officials.

He became visibly agitated at the suggestion that vaccine risks had been covered up.

“I may be sounding a little bit like a lawyer, not a physician, but purposeful concealment, intentional hiding, is essentially undocumented by the evidence released by this report itself,” Blumenthal said.

He brushed off the myocarditis concerns as “rare” and insisted that officials like Rochelle Walensky took “multiple steps” to warn the public.

So his message quietly shifted from “safe and effective” to “We did our best with what we knew at the time,” a clear sign that the vaccine narrative is running out of ground to stand on.

Vaccine-injured physician Dr. Joel Wallskog captured the pain of the vaccine-injured better than anyone.

“If I could describe one word that I think all, if not most, vaccine-injured will say… it’s ABANDONMENT.”

He explained how people like him have been attacked from both sides.

“The right says we’re stupid… the left calls us anti-vaxxers, which is one of the most ignorant things to say.”

He reminded the room that he was injured because he got vaccinated.

Dr. Wallskog and vaccine-injured associate Brianne Dressen met multiple times with FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks over two years.

“We have been placated, we have been blown off,” he said. “He thanks us, he says he’ll get back to us… he never does.”

Dr. Wallskog added that the idea that federal agencies are trying to help is “the farthest from the truth.”

Dr.@P_McCulloughMD closed the hearing with a final truth bomb.

“You’ve asked for us to cite evidence,” Dr. McCullough began.

He pointed to three papers by Nathaniel Mead, a former National Institutes of Health writer sitting in the audience. Together, they contain nearly 1,000 references—and they all reach the same conclusion:

“The risks of COVID-19 vaccination far outweigh any theoretical benefits.”

Dr. McCullough then dismantled the narrative pushed by Gov. Josh Green and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, calling their claims that the vaccines saved lives and reduced the severity of disease as nothing more than “wishful thinking.”

“I don’t want America to be fooled by this hearing today thinking that the vaccines saved lives—because they didn’t,” Dr. McCullough said.

BOMBSHELL: Joe Rogan just revealed a new study estimating the COVID-19 mRNA shots have killed more Americans than WWI, WWII, and Vietnam combined.

He dropped the numbers during his conversation with Aaron Rodgers:

Rogan: “I just sent Jamie this study. VAERS adjusted data, and other derived from the MIT, Florida Department of Health study findings that yield a conservative range of 470,000 to 600,000 American deaths from the Covid-19 mRNA shots.”

Rodgers: “That’s it?”

Rogan: “Well, just that alone. That’s a lot of people, man.”

Then came the jaw-dropper:

“More than World War I, World War II and Vietnam combined.”

And it gets worse:

“This is Pfizer alone, so this is not even Moderna.”

“Pfizer alone likely killed over 470,000 Americans.”

“They found a 36% increase in all cause mortality among Pfizer recipients versus Moderna.”

Rodgers closed it out with pure sarcasm:

“Yeah, but they saved MILLIONS!”

May 21, 2025 – Does Trump torpedo neoconservatism and neoliberalism in a single stroke?

Originally published via Armageddon Prose:

The relatively tiny elite class ensconced in Washington, D.C. — they who manufacture and service the publicly-subsidized, permanent war economy — were surely none too pleased with Trump’s truly radical, for reasons explore here, recent speech delivered to the Saudi dignitaries assembled to receive his foreign policy prescriptions during a state visit.

In 1991, sitting U.S. president — at the time, a “retired” CIA boss — George Bush declared a New World Order, a peculiar rhetorical machination by which he meant a multinational neoliberal technocracy that would ultimately subvert all national sovereignty and roll the nation-states of the world into a single dystopian administrative state.

“What is at stake is more than one small country. It is a big idea — a New World Order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause, to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind.”
-George Bush, 1991

Elsewhere, he promised in vague terms that the enforcement arm of this new globalist project would be United Nations “peacekeeping” forces — national sovereignty or national interest be damned.

“When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this New World Order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the UN’s founders.”

Contrarily, three decades later, delivering a speech that would have been hard to imagine any president in modern history delivering on account of its unorthodox omission of references to “human rights” or whatever other liberal rhetoric seemingly accompanies every presidential speech in recent memory, Trump went out of his way to denounce the “interventionists” (a polite term for warmongers/neocons), the “nation-builders,” and the “nonprofits” that have done so much to wreck and destabilize the world while draining the U.S. treasury to the tune of trillions of dollars.

Via WhiteHouse.gov (emphasis added)

“Before our eyes a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other out of existence…

This great transformation has not come from Western interventionists … giving you lectures on how to live or how to govern your own affairs. No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called ‘nation-builders,’ ‘neo-cons,’ or ‘liberal non-profits,’ like those who spent trillions failing to develop Kabul and Baghdad, so many other cities. Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought about by the people of the region themselves … developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions, and charting your own destinies…

In the end, the so-called ‘nation-builders’ wrecked far more nations than they built — and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves.”

Case in point: Hillary Clinton’s neoliberal jihad in Libya that deposed a relatively secular dictator and turned the country into a failed state with open-air slave markets.

The Trump Saudi speech might summarized succinctly in one sentence: You can’t deliver democracy with artillery shells — and, even if it were possible, doing so is not in America’s interests, or anyone else’s save for a handful of psychopaths in Washington D.C.

Somewhere in a Wyoming mansion, Dick Cheney’s artificial heart skipped a beat when he saw his lifelong ideology tossed in the historical trash can by the man who singlehandedly ended his nepo-daughter’s political career.

But he should probably just be happy he’s not rotting in the Hague for the remainder of his miserable existence before he departs the vail and passes on to hell, back to his Father.

Speaking of rotting, somewhere in the 9th Circle, Madeleine Albright is equally apoplectic that the official policy of the U.S. government she so dutifully served is no longer to starve children with pointless and obscene sanctions regime for obscure geopolitical purposes, only to turn the very country targeted for regime change over to ISIS two decades later.

May 22, 2025 – Former Harvard Medical School morgue manager pleads guilty to swiping, selling stolen body parts

A former Harvard Medical School morgue manager recently entered a plea in relation to an alleged scheme to steal and sell donated body parts.

Cedric Lodge, 57, of Goffstown, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty to interstate transport of stolen human remains on Wednesday before Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

The maximum penalty under federal law is 10 years in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment and a fine.

A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the judge after “consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the federal sentencing guidelines,” according to the release.

Officials said Lodge admitted that from 2018 through at least March 2020 he participated in the sale and interstate transport of human remains stolen from the Harvard Medical School morgue in Massachusetts.

Lodge, then-manager of the Harvard Medical School morgue, removed human remains, including organs, brains, skin, hands, faces, dissected heads and other parts from donated cadavers after they had been used for research and teaching purposes, but before they could be disposed of according to the anatomical gift donation agreement between the donor and the school, according to the release.

He took the remains to his home in New Hampshire without the permission or knowledge of his employer, the donors or donors’ families.

After he and his wife sold the remains, they would ship the remains to the buyers in other states or the buyer would take possession directly and transport the remains themselves, according to the release. (Read more: Fox News, 5/22/2025)  (Archive)

May 22, 2025 – DC ‘free Palestine’ shooting suspect charged with first-degree murder, praised Luigi Mangione, posted “De@th 2 Amerikkka”; Manifesto included

The man accused of shooting a couple from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC this week reportedly posted praise for Luigi Mangione and wrote “death to America,” as well as “I voted for Hamas” on social media. He has been charged with first-degree murder in the case.

Elias Rodriguez (Credit: public domain)

A criminal complaint states that Elias Rodriguez, 30, has been charged with murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, as well as two counts of first-degree murder.

According to the New York Post, federal authorities are working to connect a social media account reportedly linked to Rodriguez, law enforcement sources told the outlet. Rodriuez, a socialist activist and yelled “Free, free Palestine” as police were taking him into custody, was arrested for the killing of Yaron Lischinsky as well as his girlfriend Sarah Lynn Milgrim. The couple was set to get engaged next week.

Posts from the X account have praised Luigi Mangione as the killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as well as other political violence. The social media account, with the handle of @kyotoleather, posted at the beginning of 2024, “Happy New Year. Death To Israel.”

One post claimed that “80% of the country applauds the targeted annihilation of a healthcare insurance exec,” apparently arguing to support Mangione’s actions. When Trump won in November, the account posted to X, “Don’t blame me, I voted for Hamas.”

Another post from December 2024 stated, “Violence does not have to happen, but if it does, then it should.” In another post, the account wrote, “De@th 2 Amerikkka.” (Read more: The Post Millennial, 5/22/2025)  (Archive)

I’ve obtained the alleged manifesto written by Elias Rodriguez, suspect in the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC on Wednesday.

I believe the document to be authentic for several reasons, including the fact that it is signed by Rodriguez and timestamped well before he was named by law enforcement or any media. I am publishing it here not to glorify the violence — which I find abhorrent and condemn — but so the public can better understand the truth of what happened.

Refusing to confront the content of these texts often creates an information vacuum that is quickly filled by hoax documents, conspiracy theories, or selective leaks from authorities that can distort the facts. I believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant, especially when politics is involved, as the document makes clear is the case here.

Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela A. Smith identified Rodriguez as a 30-year-old man from Chicago who she said shouted “Free, free Palestine!” at the scene. The manifesto echoes this message, citing the war in Gaza as its central grievance and framing the killings as an act of political protest.

Below is the document in full.

Explication

May 20, 2025

Halintar is a word that means something like thunder or lightning. In the wake of an act people look for a text to fix its meaning, so here’s an attempt. The atrocities committed by Israelis against Palestine defy description and defy quantification. Instead of reading descriptions mostly we watch them unfold on video, sometimes live. After a few months of rapidly mounting death tolls Israel had obliterated the capacity to even continue counting the dead, which has served its genocide well. At time of writing the Gaza health ministry records 53,000 killed by traumatic force, at least ten thousand lie under rubble, and who knows how many thousands more dead of preventable disease, hunger, with tens of thousands now at risk of imminent famine due to Israeli blockade, all enabled by Western and Arab government complicity. The Gaza information office includes the ten thousand under the rubble with the dead in their own count. In news reports there have been those “ten thousand” under the rubble for months now, despite the continual making of more rubble and repeated bombing of rubble again and again and the bombing of tents amid the rubble. Like the Yemen death toll which had been frozen at some few thousand for years under Saudi-UK-US bombardment before being belatedly revealed to stand at 500k dead, all of these figures are almost surely a criminal undercount. I have no trouble believing the estimates that put the toll at 100,000 or more. More have been murdered since March of this year than in “Protective Edge” and “Cast Lead” put together. What more at this point can one say about the proportion of mangled and burned and exploded human beings whom were children. We who let this happen will never deserve the Palestinians’ forgiveness. They’ve let us know as much.

An armed action is not necessarily a military action. It usually is not. Usually it is theater and spectacle, a quality it shares with many unarmed actions. Nonviolent protest in the opening weeks of the genocide seemed to signal some sort of turning point. Never before had so many tens of thousands joined the Palestinians in the streets across the West. Never before had so many American politicians been forced to concede that, rhetorically at least, the Palestinians were human beings, too. But thus far the rhetoric has not amounted to much. The Israelis themselves boast about their own shock at the free hand the Americans have given them to exterminate the Palestinians. Public opinion has shifted against the genocidal apartheid state, and the American government has simply shrugged, they’ll do without public opinion then, criminalize it where they can, suffocate it with bland reassurances that they’re doing all they can to restrain Israel where it cannot criminalize protest outright. Aaron Bushnell and others sacrificed themselves in the hopes of stopping the massacre and the state works to make us feel their sacrifice was made in vain, that there is no hope in escalating for Gaza and no point in bringing the war home. We can’t let them succeed. Their sacrifices were not made in vain.

The impunity that representatives of our government feel at abetting this slaughter should be revealed as an illusion, then. The impunity we see is the worst for those of us in immediate proximity to the genocidaires. A surgeon who treated victims of the Mayan genocide by the Guatemalan state recounts an instance in which he was operating on a patient who’d been critically injured during a massacre when, suddenly, armed gunmen entered the room and shot the patient to death on his operating table, laughing as they killed him. The physician said the worst part was seeing the killers, well known to him, openly swagger down local streets in the years after.

Elsewhere a man of conscience once attempted to throw Robert McNamara off a Martha’s Vineyard-bound ferry into the sea, incensed at the same impunity and arrogance he saw in that butcher of Vietnam as he sat in the ferry’s lounge laughing with friends. The man took issue with McNamara’s “very posture, telling you, ‘My history is fine, and I can be slumped over a bar like this with my good friend Ralph here and you’ll have to lump it.'” The man did not succeed in heaving McNamara off a catwalk into the water, the former secretary of state managed to cling to the railing and clamber back to his feet, but the assailant explicated the value of the attempt by saying “Well, I got him outside, just the two of us, and suddenly his history wasn’t so fine, was it?”

A word about the morality of armed demonstration. Those of us against the genocide take satisfaction in arguing that the perpetrators and abettors have forfeited their humanity. I sympathize with this viewpoint and understand its value in soothing the psyche which cannot bear to accept the atrocities it witnesses, even mediated through the screen. But inhumanity has long since shown itself to be shockingly common, mundane, prosaically human. A perpetrator may then be a loving parent, a filial child, a generous and charitable friend, an amiable stranger, capable of moral strength at times when it suits him and sometimes even when it does not, and yet be a monster all the same. Humanity doesn’t exempt one from accountability. The action would have been morally justified taken 11 years ago during Protective Edge, around the time I personally became acutely aware of our brutal conduct in Palestine. But I think to most Americans such an action would have been illegible, would seem insane. I am glad that today at least there are many Americans for which the action will be highly legible and, in some funny way, the only sane thing to do.

I love you Mom, Dad, baby sis, the rest of my familia, including you, O*****

May 22, 2025 – Ed Martin identifies ‘gatekeepers’ involved in Biden autopen scandal, says whistleblower has come forward

DOJ Pardon Attorney Ed Martin discussed Biden’s growing autopen scandal this week with journalist Mark Halperin on the “2WAY Tonight” podcast.

Last Tuesday Ed Martin said that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons since it has become increasingly clear he was incapacitated during his presidency.

Ed Martin this Tuesday revealed he wrote to the Biden family and others and a senior Democrat whistleblower came forward with shocking allegations.

A couple of people “lawyered up” Ed Martin said.

“The Biden pardons are unprecedented,” he added.

“I had a whistleblower in my office 10 day ago, senior, senior Democrat saying, ‘Look, it was these three people that controlled access, and they were making money off of it,’” Ed Martin told Mark Halperin. “I don’t know if I believe it yet, but the point is I think we have to get to the bottom of it for the American people and to protect the process. And that’s what we’re doing.”

Although Ed Martin couldn’t name names, he said the senior Democrat whistleblower worked as a high level advisor in Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign.

The three gatekeepers who were allegedly selling access to the autopen were Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Mao lover and senior White House Advisor Anita Dunn and Biden attorney Bob Bauer.

Ed Martin said former Biden counsel Steve Ricchetti and Jill Biden were also lead ‘characters’ in the Biden White House. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/22/2025)  (Archive)

May 22, 2025 – DHS Kristi Noem holds Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party

This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus.

It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments.

Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused.

They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law.

Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.

Former State Department official Mike Benz accused Harvard University on Thursday of acting as a central hub for anti-Trump activity, saying the school’s network of academic departments and think tanks has been “weaponized” against President Donald Trump.

The Department of Homeland Security revoked Harvard’s ability to host foreign students, citing a “toxic campus climate” and violations related to antisemitism and foreign funding disclosures. During an appearance on “The War Room,” Benz discussed Harvard’s widespread backchanneling with powerful institutions like the State Department, the Defense Department, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and various multinational corporations and NGOs.

“Virtually every center, institute and department at Harvard is weaponized against the Trump administration at every level. Through their backchanneling with intelligence, through the backchanneling with the State Department, through their backchanneling with the defense sector, through their backchanneling with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, multinational corporations, through their backchanneling with the NGOs,” Benz said.

Benz specifically named the Harvard Belfer Center and called it a “Heart of Darkness” hub within the university. He also pointed to Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan, both affiliated with the Belfer Center, as ideological architects of these strategies. (Read more: The Daily Caller, 5/22/2025)  (Archive)

 

May 23, 2025 – Hillary calls on Americans to bash Trump at Memorial Day gatherings

Rather than honoring the military men and women who gave their lives defending their fellow Americans’ right to live in freedom, two-time failed Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is calling on her supporters to bash President Donald Trump and his One Big Beautiful Bill that passed the House this week when they get together with friends and neighbors at Memorial Day gatherings this weekend:

I’m giving you a mission for this Memorial Day holiday weekend.

I want you to talk to two people—friends, neighbors, cookout attendees—about why Trump’s proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids.

We owe the next generation every chance, and this isn’t it.

How the Trump budget bill would impact kids. (It would be a disaster.)

* Drastically cut health care. 15 million Americans, including millions of children, could lose access through Medicaid cuts and ACA marketplace changes.
* Increase food insecurity. Nearly 11 million people—including 4 million kids—could lose SNAP food assistance.
* Make families poorer. The bill would kick 4.5 million American kids off the child tax credit.
* Leave AI dangers unchecked. The bill would freeze state-level AI regulation for 10 years, stripping states of the ability to protect kids from deep fakes, exploitation, and more.

May 23, 2025 – DOGE cancels $163 million in NEH grants going toward research on LGBTQ+ cartoonists and gay travel guides

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has much work underway, announcing the cancellation of several Biden-era grants that were going toward bizarre and wasteful causes, such as research on LGBTQ+ cartoonists and gay travel guides.

“During the previous administration, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded the following grants to spend taxpayer dollars, all of which have been cancelled,” DOGE wrote on social media, noting that these cancellations have resulted in an overall savings of $163 million.

A $350,000 NEH grant, for instance, was for “interactive gay travel guides to better understand historical LGBTQ+ spaces.” Another grant to the tune of $247,000 was set to “digitize stories of transgender adults in the Pacific Northwest.”

A $60,000 grant was allotted to “research how LGBTQ+ cartoonists innovated comics in the 1980s & 1990s,” and $75,000 was to “examine the relationship between internet live streaming and LGBTQ+ communities.”

Not all grants were LGBTQ centered, however. One grant, coming in at $150,000, was for “excavation of Egypt’s first industrial-scale brewery.” And another $350,000 grant was for creating “a Spanish version of Homosauras.org.”

“NEH grants will be merit-based and awarded to non-DEI, pro-America causes,” DOGE affirmed.

May 23, 2025 – Rubio eliminates more than 100 people from National Security Council

The National Security Council is a ¹cushy job inside the White House filled with bureaucratic analysts and people who are in place in an attempt to steer policy.  Many of those detailed to the NSC represent the interests of the Silo agency from which they originate.

The National Security Council contains approximately 350 full-time employees.  The National Security Advisor, now Marco Rubio, is in charge of the NSC.  Secretary Marco Rubio just fired more than 100 of them.  A few quotes from Axios are beautiful, and telling:

(…) “The NSC is the ultimate Deep State. It’s Marco vs. the Deep State. We’re gutting the Deep State,” the official said of the move, which will cut the NSC staff to about half of its current 350 members. “The right-sizing of the NSC is in line with its original purpose and the president’s vision,” Rubio told Axios in a statement. “The NSC will now be better positioned to collaborate with agencies.” [link]

WASHINGTON DC – The Trump administration has put more than 100 officials at the National Security Council at the White House on administrative leave on Friday as part of a restructuring under interim national security adviser and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to two US officials and another source familiar with the matter.

(…) An email from NSC chief of staff Brian McCormack went out around 4:20 p.m. informing those being dismissed they’d have 30 minutes to clean out their desks, according to an administration official. If they weren’t on campus, the email read, they could email an address and arrange a time to retrieve their stuff later and turn in devices.

The email subject line read: “Your return to home agency,” indicating that most of those affected were detailed to the NSC from other departments and agencies.

On Thursday, Rubio convened a meeting with principals, which raised speculation that it was about the re-organization, the official said. And on Friday at 3:45 p.m., shortly before the email went out, senior directors were summoned to a meeting with Rubio.

[…] Those put on leave include career officials, as well as political hires made during the Trump administration.

In recent weeks staffers were being re-interviewed by the Office of the Presidential Personnel as the reshaping of the office was taking place, sources said. One of the questions asked was what officials thought was the appropriate size of the NSC, one source said.

Staffed by foreign policy experts from across the US government, the NSC typically serves as a critical body for coordinating the president’s foreign policy agenda.

But under President Donald Trump, the NSC’s role has been diminished, with the overhaul expected to further reduce its importance in the White House. (read more)

Remember the Susan Rice Benghazi “talking points” about a YouTube video?  Remember Tommy “Dude” Vietor?  Remember Alexander Vindman?  Yeah, all from the National Security Council.

To give you an expanded perspective on how the NSC operates, compared to what the institutional DC interests tell us about it, it’s worth remembering that Tom Donilon’s daughter was appointed to the NSC after college.  lol

2022: Tom Donilon’s daughter, Sarah Donilon, who graduated college in 2019, now works on the White House National Security Council {link}

As if on cue….

“Marco Rubio: 25% then / 70% now.  Remarkably his confrontation with the Senate, with USAID, with VISAs, and calling Ukraine a “USA proxy war” were big jumps in the effectiveness and competency versus what was expected.  Still watching for direct IC confrontation with his move to NatSec Advisor, but I totally understand why President Trump is supporting him with more authority.”

May 23, 2025 – New docs reveal Biden Administration labeled opponents of Covid mandates as “domestic violent extremists”

Biden Administration Labeled Opponents Of Covid Mandates As “Domestic Violent Extremists,” Newly Released Documents Show

The designation infringed on the First Amendment and opened the door to investigating Americans for vaccine mandate skepticism.

The Biden Administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists,” or DVEs, according to newly declassified intelligence records obtained by Public @shellenberger @galexybrane and Catherine Herridge Reports. The designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals, which is often the first step toward a formal investigation, said a former FBI agent.

The report, which the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has declassified, claims that “anti government or anti authority violent extremists,” specifically militias, “characterize COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as evidence of government overreach.” A sweeping range of COVID narratives, the report states, “have resonated” with DVEs “motivated by QAnon.”

The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021 intelligence product whose title reads, “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”

The report cites criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. These narratives “include the belief that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.

“It’s a way they could go to social media companies and say, ‘You don’t want to propagate domestic terrorism so you should take down this content,’” said former FBI agent Steve Friend.

Premium content and analysis on the declassified records for subscribers @C__Herridge

A separate February 2022 report called “Special Analysis: Joint Analytic Cell” investigates the “Sociopolitical Factors Amplifying Persistent Domestic Violent Extremist Threat.”

The newly declassified report seems to draw a straight line between opposition to vaccine mandates and elevated levels of domestic terrorism.

However, a close reading of the report’s statistics reveals that of the 2950 domestic terrorism cases handled by the FBI, the vast majority were “related to the 6 January siege of the US Capitol.”

Those cases included “parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol Building.”

May 24, 2025 – Former Obama aide admits he hid Biden’s cognitive decline; “I want him to f*cking win because I care about the country!”

Former Obama aide Jon Lovett, co-host of the “Pod Save America” podcast, recently admitted in an interview with Jon Stewart that while he wasn’t “behind the scenes” like Biden’s handlers, he did stay silent about his concerns on Biden’s health and mental capabilities.

The episode of Jon Stewart’s “The Weekly Show” podcast aired on Thursday.

“I remember feeling, I want to talk about this as a huge liability,” Lovett recalled. “But I’m not going to go so far as to say, ‘I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president.’”

“I want him to f*cking win because I care about the country!”

Lovett said he didn’t want to make too much noise and become “part of the case against Joe Biden from the Right.”

May 24, 2025 – DNI Tulsi Gabbard takes operational control of the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB)

Interestingly, just a few days before Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, took control of the National Intelligence Council (NIC) away from the CIA, Gabbard also made a move that is just as consequential and directly related.

It is pretty clear now the NIC was in the middle of a domestic Intelligence Community operation against the Trump administration when Tulsi Gabbard intercepted it (we hope with support from CIA Director John Ratcliffe, but we are not sure).  {GO DEEP} It is clear from the comments by SoS/NSA Rubio, that several media outlets were poised and awaiting leaks from the NIC in anticipation of fulfilling their role to advance the operation. [SEE HERE] DNI Gabbard essentially quashed their plan.

(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

However, I was not aware that it was pushed into the public sphere where DNI Gabbard had taken control of the Presidential Daily Brief simultaneous to her confrontation with the NIC operation. [NYT LINK, Archive]  I am writing this update to inform and also ensure the CTH library has a reference point for future discussions.  Please familiarize yourself with the citations above as well as two very important outlines.

#1 – The unrealized power of the DNI and the possibilities for Trump’s appointed Director of National Intelligence, if a particular process was followed {GO DEEP}. #2 – The actual purpose of the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB), as well as the modern weaponization of it by the CIA. {GO DEEP}.   Those two citations are important context to understand a very visible dynamic taking place.

On the same day that DNI Tulsi Gabbard took control of the PDB away from the CIA, DNI Gabbard also removed the National Intelligence Council from the CIA.  This is very good news and highlights both President Trump and DNI Gabbard understanding the unrealized potential power of the DNI that we have discussed on these pages.

Confronting a weaponized Intelligence Community is a key facet of interest for us because it is a core component battle against the main tools of the Fourth Branch of Government.  The IC influence is in every policy related to Trump’s domestic and foreign agenda. Taking control and neutering the capabilities of the IC and CIA specifically, is a key undertaking.

With the horrible National Security Advisor Mike Waltz removed, and with Marco Rubio taking control of the National Security Council, now the moves by DNI Tulsi Gabbard begin to take on a much more deliberate context.  Now I can be somewhat more optimistic about what we are seeing unfold, albeit it will likely remain unnoticed by almost all other reviewers of politics.  Y’all are well aware the need for this IC confrontation has long been one of my biggest focuses.

The article is within the New York Times, which means the anonymous sources are from within the DHS/DNI (domestic IC) apparatus.

NYT – Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is moving the assembly of the president’s daily intelligence brief from the C.I.A. headquarters to her own complex, according to officials briefed on the move.

The brief, a summary of intelligence and analysis about global hot spots and national security threats, is overseen and presented to the president by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. But C.I.A. officers write much of the analysis in the document and produce it, pulling together articles and graphics on the agency’s classified computer systems.

Ms. Gabbard’s decision comes as President Trump has openly mused to aides over time about whether the office she leads — which was created after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to improve interagency coordination — should continue to exist, according to two people with knowledge of his remarks. Ms. Gabbard has discussed Mr. Trump’s concerns with him directly and has considered how to overhaul the office, according to one official.

(…) The C.I.A. memo said that while the directorate of analysis role in supporting the daily brief would evolve, “we will remain laser-focused on the president’s and Director Ratcliffe’s priorities and our core mission — generating and delivering insight with impact, free from political or personal bias.”

It is not clear how many C.I.A. personnel assigned to the P.D.B., as the brief is called, and to the National Intelligence Council will move. People familiar with the matter, who were not authorized to discuss internal concerns publicly, said a number of employees at the agency were looking for new assignments to avoid moving to Ms. Gabbard’s office.

The DNI position comes as an outcome of The Patriot Act and as I have repeatedly said, that position has never been fully functionalized.  In essence, the DNI can be more powerful than all of the feeder elements into the intelligence apparatus.

The ODNI was formed in 2004, with the intent for the office to be the pivot point of a national security radar.   The DNI was intended to provide information to domestic agencies about foreign terror networks that would prevent something like 9-11 from happening again.  However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has never, not for one day, operated on this intent.   This is why they are such a critical position from my perspective.

I said in August of 2024, “The DNI can make the FBI, DOJ, DOJ-NSD, DoD, DoS and CIA provide anything and everything they demand.  Instead of the other silos using blocks and threats against the office of the President, use the authority of the DNI to get them without confrontation.   Then use the DNI to declassify the documents (if requested by potus), instead of the originating silo.

Can you see how the DNI office can be repurposed to be a seriously strong weapon in the toolbox of the President, against the schemes of those inside the various IC silos? The DNI becomes much more important than the CIA Director, NSA Director, FBI Director, Attorney General, etc, because the DNI can just show up and say, “give me this.”  That’s the whole functional purpose of the DNI office that has never been exerted; let’s flippin’ use it.

Let’s use the office of the DNI as the central information hub that takes information from inside the corrupt silos, then provides that information to the President who puts sunlight upon it.  Each corrupt silo penetrated with disinfectant.  This could begin a process to pull down the shadow operations and let the American public see what has been happening inside our IC apparatus.”

It would appear that President Trump and Tulsi Gabbard are doing exactly that, and I am extremely pleased/thankful to see this plan of action in place.

Now, there’s another element to this.  The Dept of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, reports directly to President Trump.  However, for all material intents and purposes of the post-911 design, the DHS Secretary also reports to the Director of National Intelligence, that’s Tulsi Gabbard.

The DHS Secretary directly controls the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA).  Do you remember the story of Tulsi Gabbard being targeted by the Joe Biden DHS/TSA under the “Quiet Skies” operation?  All of that information is at the fingertips of DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

So, I will leave you to think of this with a little optimism.  Here is Tulsi Gabbard today discussing how Joe Biden defined “Domestic Violent Extremists,” and also a discussion about her own personal targeting on the “Quiet Skies” watch list.

Keep in mind, ODNI Tulsi Gabbard has access to every document, note, list and detail of the TSA program that targeted her.  Tulsi Gabbard knows exactly who put her on the watch list, when, why and how, as well as who else was/is targeted under this program.

May 26, 2025 – Dems second term plan was to have Biden show “proof of life” occasionally while aides ran the show

“FOX News Sunday” host Shannon Bream interviews journalist and author Alex Thompson and asks about a passage from his new book “Original Sin,” where he was told the plan for a second term was to have aides run the show while President Biden occasionally made appearances for “proof of life.”

SHANNON BREAM, FOX NEWS SUNDAY: You quote a long-time Biden aide basically admitting he shouldn’t be running again. They said to you on page 85, ‘He just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years. He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while. His aides could pick up the slack.’ Who would have been running the White House in a second Biden term

ALEX THOMPSON, CO-AUTHOR: Well, this person went on to say that when you’re voting for a president, you’re voting for the aides around him. But these aides were not even Senate-confirmed aides. These are White House aides. These were unelected people. And one of the things that really I think comes out in our reporting here is that if you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy — you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things, which I think is what this person is talking about.

May 28, 2025 – DNC Vice Chair David Hogg reveals Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff ran the Biden White House

Project Veritas today released Part One of an explosive undercover investigation revealing shocking truths about who truly controlled the Biden White House. Through covert meetings with David Hogg, Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and Deterrian Jones, former staffer in the Biden White House Office of Digital Strategy, Veritas uncovered a web of influence centered around Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff, Anthony Bernal, and a tight-knit inner circle.

In candid, on-camera admissions, Hogg stated, “Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff [Anthony Bernal] had an enormous amount of power,” emphasizing that “the bigger issue was the inner circle that was around Biden.” These revelations point to a hidden power structure that operated behind the scenes, raising questions about transparency and accountability in the Biden administration.

Deterrian Jones, who worked directly in the Biden White House, described Bernal as a “shadowy, wizard of oz-type figure” who “wielded an enormous amount of power.” Jones admitted to avoiding Bernal, calling him “scary” and noting that his influence was an “open secret” among staff. These statements expose a culture of fear and unchecked authority within the administration.

Project Veritas has once again unmasked the secrets political leaders hide from the public. This investigation unveils the true power brokers behind the Biden White House, exposing truths the American people have a right to know.

In the upcoming second part of this series, Project Veritas will reveal additional inside knowledge about corruption, threats, and hidden DC secrets, as revealed by controversial DNC Vice Chair David Hogg. (Project Veritas, 5/28/2025)  (Archive)

UPDATE-5/29/2025

May 28, 2025 – Grassley releases FBI doc proving Nellie Ohr lied to Congress about her involvement in Crossfire Hurricane/Trump-Russia hoax

(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

Despite providing demonstrably false information to Congress, Nellie Ohr was never held accountable for contributing to the FBI and DOJ’s Trump-Russia hoax

BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA – The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DOJ) failed to prosecute Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr for lying to Congress about her role in advancing the FBI and DOJ’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, according to an internal FBI analysis confirming Ohr’s false congressional testimony.

The 2019 FBI analysis, obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and declassified at the chairman’s request, provides detailed evidence Ohr lied to Congress during sworn testimony and, as a result, obstructed ongoing congressional investigations, violating federal statutes 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and 18 U.S.C § 1505. The document also exposes how the FBI prevented agents from reviewing all relevant information necessary to perform a full analysis of the extent of Ohr’s false testimony and her role in the fake Russia collusion investigation.

“By lying to Congress, Nellie Ohr showed contempt for congressional oversight and the American people. What’s more, the FBI and DOJ’s failure to hold Ohr accountable for appearing to commit multiple felonies and its obstructive conduct against agents that sought additional information reveals the agencies’ deeply disturbing political bias. Ohr never suffered consequences for advancing the phony Trump-Russia narrative and attempting to cover up her involvement in the hoax. Yet time and again, the American justice system has been weaponized against President Trump and his associates with reckless abandon,” Grassley said. “The DOJ’s inaction on Nellie Ohr’s criminal referral – despite the obviously incriminating evidence provided in the FBI’s own analysis – undermines public trust in the rule of law. I applaud Director Patel, Attorney General Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Blanche for cooperating with my request to declassify this information, which is in the public’s interest, and chart a new course for transparency and accountability at the FBI and DOJ.”

Read the unclassified Nellie Ohr analysis HERE.

Background:

Nellie Ohr was employed by the political opposition research firm Fusion GPS between 2015 to 2016 to perform open-source research attempting to connect then-presidential candidate Donald Trump to Russian organized crime. This research was paid for by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC). Both organizations ultimately settled with the Federal Election Commission after allegations of campaign finance violations for intentionally misreporting the true purpose of the payments.

At the time of Nellie Ohr’s Fusion GPS employment, her husband, Bruce Ohr, was an Associate Deputy Attorney General at DOJ. Both Nellie and Bruce Ohr testified to the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in 2018 as part of the committees’ oversight of the FBI’s bogus 2016 Crossfire Hurricane investigation into President Trump’s disproven collusion with Russia.

In 2019, then-Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a member of the House Oversight Committee, filed a criminal referral with DOJ asserting Nellie Ohr knowingly provided false testimony to the House committees.

Key Findings of the FBI’s 2019 Nellie Ohr Analysis: 

  • Nellie Ohr may have been involved in drafting aspects of the Steele Dossier and conspired with her husband, Bruce Ohr, to ensure high-level FBI officials received her work product, while Fusion GPS coordinated with media entities to legitimize the FBI’s opening of its now discredited Trump-Russia investigation.
  • Nellie Ohr may have falsely testified to Congress that she had no knowledge of the DOJ’s Trump-Russia investigation (pg. 13).
    • Nellie Ohr gave a thumb drive containing her Fusion GPS work to her husband, Bruce Ohr, which he then provided to the FBI as part of its ongoing investigation (pg. 14).
    • Nellie Ohr’s email traffic shows she emailed her Russian investigative research directly to Bruce Ohr. Nellie’s research closely mirrored the DOJ and FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation (pgs. 15-16).
    • Bruce Ohr only shared information with the FBI relating to the Trump-Russia investigation after receiving it from his wife, Nellie Ohr (pgs. 15-17).
    • Nellie Ohr and Bruce Ohr met personally with British intelligence officer and Fusion GPS contractor, Christopher Steele, in 2016 (pg. 21).
    • Fusion GPS pitched Nellie Ohr’s research to the Department of State (DOS) for additional investigation, per DOS emails (pg. 23).
    • Nellie Ohr deleted emails with Russia-focused DOJ prosecutors, indicating an effort to conceal her exchanges with DOJ officials involved in the Trump-Russia investigation (pg. 24).
  • Nellie Ohr may have falsely testified to Congress that she was not involved in drafting the Steele Dossier (pgs. 25-28).
    • Nellie Ohr made an analytical error in her own research identical to that in the Steele Dossier (pgs. 29-30).
    • A report deleted from a thumb drive owned by Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and provided to the FBI via Bruce Ohr contained the same subject matter researched by Nellie Ohr (pg. 31-33).
  • In direct contradiction to her congressional testimony, Nellie Ohr disseminated Fusion GPS research to DOJ prosecutors beyond those identified in her testimony (pg. 33).
    • Nellie Ohr repeatedly sent information to the following DOJ officials: Lisa Holtyn, Ivana Nizich, Joseph Wheatley (pgs. 34-37).
  • In direct contradiction to her congressional testimony, Nellie Ohr took six ham radio classes and an exam during her time as a Fusion GPS employee (pg. 37). Ham radios can facilitate international communication without the use of a cell signal.
    • Nellie Ohr claimed her ham radio training occurred before she was employed by Fusion GPS. However, per records from the Fairfax Fire and Rescue Department and Federal Communications Commission, Nellie Ohr’s entire ham radio training occurred between March to May 2016, while working at Fusion GPS.
  • Nellie Ohr may have been involved in the “Alfa dossier,” an additional sham document attempting to connect Trump to Russian crime (pg. 40).

May 29, 2025 – Bongino discovers a trove of evidence from multiple cases under James Comey, hidden within the agency

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino reveals that they discovered a trove of evidence from multiple cases under James Comey, hidden in a secret room within the agency:

“There was a room, and we found a lot of stuff, A hidden room. I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us. We found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era.”

“We are working our damnedest right now to declassify. I totally understand people saying, ‘well do it now.’ The process is not all the information is ours to declassify some as other intelligence agencies. It’s not. We literally can’t do it.”

“Once that gets done and gets out there… And you read some of the stuff we found in bags hiding under James Comey.. You’re going to be stunned.”

May 29, 2025 – An IT Specialist at DIA attempts to transmit national defense info to what he thought was an agent of a foreign government

An IT specialist employed by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was arrested today for attempting to transmit national defense information to an officer or agent of a foreign government.

Nathan Vilas Laatsch, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia, was arrested today in northern Virginia, and will make his initial court appearance in the Eastern District of Virginia tomorrow.

According to court documents, Laatsch became a civilian employee of the DIA in 2019, where he works with the Insider Threat Division and holds a Top Secret security clearance. In March 2025, the FBI commenced an operation after receiving a tip that an individual — now known to be Laatsch — offered to provide classified information to a friendly foreign government. In that email, the sender wrote that he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was therefore “willing to share classified information” that he had access to, including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.”

After multiple communications with an FBI agent — who Laatsch allegedly believed to be an official of the foreign government — Laatsch began transcribing classified information to a notepad at his desk and, over the course of approximately three days, repeatedly exfiltrated the information from his workspace. Laatsch subsequently confirmed to the FBI agent that he was prepared to transmit the information.

Thereafter, the FBI implemented an operation at a public park in northern Virginia, where Laatsch believed he would deposit the classified information for the foreign government to retrieve. On or about May 1, 2025, FBI surveillance observed Laatsch proceed to the specified location and deposit an item. Following Laatsch’s departure, the FBI retrieved the item, which was a thumb drive later found to contain a message from Laatsch and multiple typed documents, each containing information that was portion-marked up to the Secret or Top Secret levels. The message from Laatsch indicated that he had chosen to include “a decent sample size” of classified information to “decently demonstrate the range of types of products” to which he had access.

After receiving confirmation that the thumb drive had been received, on May 7, Laatsch allegedly sent a message to the FBI agent, which indicated Laatsch was seeking something from the foreign government in return for continuing to provide classified information. The next day, Laatsch specified that he was interested in “citizenship for your country” because he did not “expect[] things here to improve in the long term.” Although he said he was “not opposed to other compensation,” he was not in a position where he needed to seek “material compensation.”

On May 14, the FBI agent advised Laatsch that it was prepared to receive additional classified information. Between May 15 and May 27, Laatsch again repeatedly transcribed multiple pages of notes while logged into his classified workstation, folded the notes, and exfiltrated the classified information in his clothing.

On May 29, Laatsch arrived at a prearranged location in northern Virginia, where Laatsch again allegedly attempted to transmit multiple classified documents to the foreign country. Laatsch was arrested upon the FBI’s receipt of the documents.

Sue J. Bai, head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, U.S. Attorney Erik S. Siebert for the Eastern District of Virginia, Assistant Director Roman Rozhavsky of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, and Executive Director Lee M. Russ of Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) Office of Special Projects made the announcement.

The FBI Washington Field Office is investigating the case, with valuable assistance provided by the U.S. Air Force OSI and with thanks to the Defense Intelligence Agency for its cooperation.

May 29, 2025 – Nevada DHHS Specialist is caught on camera admitting to “bending the rules” to provide benefits for illegal immigrants

Deshaun Eli Mack, a Family Services Specialist with the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), has been caught on hidden camera admitting to intentionally violating state policies to provide government-funded benefits to undocumented immigrants.

Mack detailed how he manipulates the system to offer extended emergency Medicaid coverage to illegals, stating, “I get them emergency medical all the time… just because I want to.”

According to Mack, emergency Medicaid for undocumented immigrants is supposed to be granted on a month-to-month basis and only for severe, qualifying conditions. However, he confessed that he bypasses this process entirely. “They’re supposed to apply every month,” he said, “so I just approve them for 12 months… because I can.”

When asked if that kind of discretion was allowed, Mack responded bluntly: “I make it so. I bend the rules a lot.” He added later, “I will twist and turn our provisions to fit the way that I want them to be.”

Mack also acknowledged a culture within the agency of avoiding cooperation with federal immigration authorities, stating, “We would never call ICE. We do not work with them ever.”

When pressed on whether this behavior amounted to subverting the law, Mack didn’t hesitate: “I do that a lot.”

Mack’s conduct could potentially violate multiple Nevada laws, including statutes related to misappropriation of public funds and the Nevada False Claims Act, which prohibits knowingly approving or submitting false claims for state payment.

OMG has reached out to Mack and the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services for comment on Mack’s remarks.

When contacted by OMG, Mack initially denied wrongdoing, stating, “I don’t [break the law], because I’m not.” Presented with his own recorded statements, Mack shifted his position, claiming, “I say a lot of things that I don’t mean” and eventually admitted, “I lie all the time.” He suggested he may have exaggerated to impress the undercover journalist, saying, “Absolutely,” when asked if that was the reason for his comments. Despite the specificity of his original statements, Mack ultimately claimed, “None of those words I said were true.”

More revelations to come. Stay tuned for part 2. (O’Keefe Media Group, 5/29/2025)  (Archive)

May 29, 2025 – A USDA employee and five others are busted in one of the largest food stamp frauds in American history

USDA employee Arlasa Davis (Credit: LinkedIn)

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced on Thursday that a longtime USDA employee and five others were busted in one of the largest food stamp frauds in U.S. history.

A short time ago, Perry Carbone, Attorney for the United States, Charmeka Parker, the Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of Inspector General and Christopher G. Raia, the Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Field Office of the FBI revealed a superseding indictment was unsealed charging six people in connection with a $66 million-plus fraud and bribery scheme under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) aka food stamp program.

Michael Kehoe, Mohamad Nawafleh, Omar Alrawashdeh, Gamal Obaid, Emad Alrawashdeh, and Arlasa Davis have been hit with multiple charges, including conspiracy to steal government funds and to misappropriate USDA benefits. Davis, a USDA employee who worked as a program specialist, was employed in the division of the agency responsible for identifying SNAP fraud.

As the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York explains, Kehoe started a network in 2019 that handed over roughly 160 illegal EBT terminals to stores across the New York area to steal more than $30 million in EBT transactions. With the help of his co-conspirators, Nawafleh, Omar Alrawashdeh, Obaid, and Emad Alrawashdeh, Kehoe submitted approximately 200 fraudulent USDA applications, misappropriated USDA license numbers, and even forged application documents to acquire EBT terminals for unauthorized stores.

The stores included smoke shops and other businesses not eligible for USDA funds.

Davis was critical to the scheme. The Southern District of New York Attorney’s office notes that she took advantage of her position to sell hundreds of EBT license numbers.

“Michael Kehoe and his co-conspirators misappropriated tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds meant to help low-income families put food on the table,” Carbone explained. “This fraud was made possible when USDA employee Arlasa Davis betrayed the public trust by selling confidential government information to the very criminals she was supposed to catch.” (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 5/29/2025)  (Archive)

May 28, 2025 – Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s office doxxed the names of ICE and DHS agents

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn are slamming Nashville’s mayor after his office posted the names of ICE agents and Homeland Security Investigators.

FOX 17 News first reported this on Wednesday.

After our story aired, the mayor’s office removed those names and told FOX 17 News the names were “mistakenly included in the information posted online.”

Critics of Mayor Freddie O’Connell say releasing the names was no mistake and puts federal agents at risk.

Supporters of Mayor O’Connell insist it was not malicious.

The names of ICE officers and Homeland Security Investigators are no longer visible on the Office of New Americans’ website, following our discovery of the public data.

This stemmed from Mayor O’Connell’s amended Executive Order 30.

The mayor’s office previously told FOX 17 News it made the interactions with ICE agents public in the name of transparency. (Read more: Fox17 Nashville, 5/30/2025)  (Archive)

May 30, 2025 – Whistleblower claims Biden decline was so bad he would sometimes get lost in White House closet

As more reports emerge about former President Biden’s alleged cognitive decline during his time in office, a Republican senator has made an explosive new claim: that Biden would sometimes get lost in a closet inside the White House while serving as commander-in-chief.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., made the stunning claim on “Hannity” Friday, citing an unnamed Secret Service whistleblower who Hawley said was assigned to Biden.

“He [Secret Service member] told me that Biden used to get lost in his closet in the mornings in the White House,” Hawley said. “I mean, the guy literally stumbling around in the White House residence couldn’t find his way out of his own closet. The president of the United States. I mean, this is outrageous. We were lied to.”

May 30, 2025 – U.S. cancels contracts worth $766 million for Moderna Bird Flu vaccine after ‘rigorous review’

“After a rigorous review, we concluded that continued investment in Moderna’s H5N1 mRNA vaccine was not scientifically or ethically justifiable,” HHS Communications Director Andrew Nixon told The Defender.

“This is not simply about efficacy — it’s about safety, integrity and trust. The reality is that mRNA technology remains under-tested, and we are not going to spend taxpayer dollars repeating the mistakes of the last administration, which concealed legitimate safety concerns from the public,” Nixon said.

May 31, 2025 – Musk ally Jared Isaacman’s Democrat donations torpedoes NASA appointment; Sparks speculation over Elon’s angst

“We don’t confirm Schumer donors in this administration,” said a source close to the Trump team — referencing the quiet but decisive move to pull billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman from consideration as the head of NASA under the second Trump Administration. 

Isaacman — a close ally of Elon Musk, SpaceX collaborator, private astronaut, and founder of Shift4 — was under serious consideration for a high-level appointment. But his name was withdrawn after campaign finance records revealed over $200,000 in donations to prominent Democratic politicians, committees, and super PACs.

The donations, all made in recent election cycles, include contributions to some of the most powerful Democrat operatives and institutions:

Jared Isaacman’s Political Donations (2021–2024):

  • $100,000 to Senate Majority PAC (10/28/2021) — aligned with Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
  • $50,000 to Josh Shapiro for Governor (3/2/2022)
  • $10,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (3/29/2022)
  • $10,000 to the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania (7/22/2024)
  • $10,000 to the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee (8/1/2024)
  • $2,500 to George Whitesides for Congress (6/28/2022)
  • $2,500 to George Whitesides for Congress (11/8/2022)
  • $1,000 to Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA)
  • $500 to Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA)
  • $5,000 to Keystone America PAC (Democrat-aligned PA PAC)
  • $5,000 to Mitten PAC (Democrat-aligned MI PAC)

Notably absent from Isaacman’s financial history: any donations to President Donald Trump, his campaign, or any Trump-aligned political action committee.

(…) President Donald Trump officially withdrew Jared Isaacman’s nomination to lead NASA on May 31, 2025. The announcement came just days before the Senate was scheduled to vote on Isaacman’s confirmation, which had already advanced with bipartisan support. Following the withdrawal, Trump indicated that a new nominee aligned with his “America First” space policy would be announced soon. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast has been mentioned as a potential replacement.

Isaacman’s donations, all on record with the Federal Election Commission and compiled by OpenSecrets.org, leave little doubt about his political leanings in recent cycles.

The takeaway from the Trump team, according to insiders: if you back Chuck Schumer with six-figure donations, don’t expect to be appointed in a Trump administration.

June 1, 2025 – Watchdog’s Biden Autopen review finds ‘criminal’ evidence of ‘impersonating the President’

Daniel Turner (Credit: public domain)

Energy expert Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future, the nonprofit that released a damning report last week revealing that at least eight major actions taken by President Biden were allegedly signed via autopen, joined the latest episode of Breitbart News Saturday to highlight the gravity of his organization’s findings and of other similar reports.

(…) After Power the Future’s review discovered an utter lack of proof that Biden even knew about several major climate actions, as he never publicly spoke of or acknowledged them, the group sent letters this week to several agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of the Interior (DOI), and the Department of Energy (DOE) calling for an investigation.

Letters were also sent to the House and Senate Oversight Committees, Turner told Fox News.

Speaking to Boyle, Turner continued, “Well, when you have an executive order to ban offshore oil and gas drilling … That’s a pretty damn big ban. When you have that and you sign it by autopen, there are process crimes.”

“Someone had to draft that. Someone had to actually put it on paper. Someone had to bring that paper to the autopen machine. That autopen machine is under lock and key. Someone had to open it. Someone had to confirm,” he explained. “And I’m not throwing names under the bus, but I’m just going to use titles. The chief of staff had to know what was going on. The staff secretary — every time Donald Trump signs an executive order, we see the staff secretary hand him that order, explain it, the president signs it. There are personnel involved in processes.”

“These processes, I think, if nothing else, they deserve a good, thorough investigation,” he added.

The letter to House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) states:

In light of the growing evidence that actions purportedly taken by the former president may not have been approved or signed by him, but instead promulgated by a small coterie of advisers in his name without his knowledge or over his signature using an “autopen,” the need for congressional access to information has grown in importance with these revelations.

The letter continues:

Congress deserves to know how or whether these executive actions were authorized, and whether the former president was aware of such orders before they were implemented by the federal bureaucracy. Were these actions taken on behalf of the president and purporting to execute his authority undertaken with the president’s knowledge and approach? It appears incumbent upon Congress to inquire about all parties involved in these actions, who instructed them to do what, when.

Turner also pointed to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) claim that the former president apparently did not know that he had signed an executive order pausing the export of liquified natural gas (LNG) in an early 2024 meeting.

“Because if Joe Biden had no idea he banned natural gas … Look, I’m no Biden fan at all in any sense of the word — I loathe the man. But that guy has been in politics for 60 years because he is a savvy politician. A competent Biden would have never banned the sale of natural gas trying to win the state of Pennsylvania,” the Power the Future founder told Boyle. “Even Biden would have been like, ‘We’re not going to ban natural gas. I’m trying to win the damn state of Pennsylvania for the election.’ That’s how bad of a decision it was, and that’s how out of the loop Biden was.”

June 1, 2025 – Buzz Patterson: Bill Clinton lost the nuclear codes to the “football” during his presidency

I’ve been posting a lot about Hillary Clinton. Let’s spend some time with Bill, shall we?

As the Air Force Military Aide and carrier of the “nuclear football,” the other aides and I lived and worked in the White House.

One morning, I was the first person on President Clinton’s calendar. I was scheduled to brief the president on the nuclear process and answer any questions he might have. I arrived at 7:00AM before the rest of the Oval Office was at work. It also happened to be the same morning that the Monica Lewinsky affair hit the national press.

As I walked by his secretary’s desk in the outer area of the Oval, I noticed the headlines of the Washington Post. I knew he’d been caught. I walked into the Oval and found the president with his head in his hands, bloodshot eyes. He knew he’d been caught, too. I said “Sir, if this is a bad time, I can comeback later for the briefing.” He agreed. I said, “Just one more thing. Could I just authenticate that you have the nuclear codes?” We called the codes “the biscuit” because the president would tear it open.

The president carries the codes, the aide carries the “football.” He told me that no, he didn’t have them. He didn’t know where they were. I asked him how long they’d been misplaced. He couldn’t remember. I was floored. It’d never happened before.
Instead of concern for the missing top secret document, he simply said, “Please don’t let this get out.” His only concern was his impending impeachment, Monica, and his poll numbers.

I gave the Pentagon a heads up and they were incredulous. We conducted an extensive search of the White House and the residence. Never found them. The Pentagon hopped to and created a new set that was quickly disseminated across the US nuclear arsenal. No easy task. They brought a new set the next morning.

Bill Clinton LOST the nuclear codes! For an undetermined period of time, our commander in chief didn’t have the ability to launch nuclear weapons. He never informed us, he had Monica on his mind. Dereliction of duty!

And it’s all in here:

June 2, 2025 – Head of DOJ’s ‘Capitol Siege Division’ resigns over Trump’s J6 pardons

One of the leading prosecutors of the January 6th protesters has resigned from the Department of Justice.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Rosen, who led the DOJ’s Capitol Siege Section, has taken up a post with a private law firm.

Rosen was one of the many prosecutors who worked tirelessly to harass, persecute and ultimately imprison around 1,500 individuals protesting the widespread fraud that tainted the 2020 presidential election.

In an interview with CBS News, Rosen complained about President Trump’s decision to pardon all those involved.

“The message that [the pardons] send is that political violence towards a political goal is acceptable in a modern democratic society,” Rosen said.

“That, from my perspective, is anathema to a constitutional republic.”

June 2, 2025 – Mike Benz: The CIA’s “How To Start A Riot” Guide

June 2, 2025 – Latest FBI revelations show the Mueller Special Counsel was a cover-up

(Credit: PBS News Hour/YouTube)

The FBI’s electronic case management system, Sentinel, allows agents to hide the existence of relevant investigative reports from other authorized users of the federal database. And during the Russia collusion hoax, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team used that functionality to keep potentially relevant documents hidden from other FBI agents investigating whether a Fusion GPS contractor lied to Congress.

The significance of these two facts cannot be overstated: Now in question is whether the federal government complies with the constitutional mandate in criminal cases to provide defendants all material exculpatory and impeachment evidence as well as its discovery obligations in civil litigation; whether Special Counsel Durham’s office, the inspector general, and agents investigating the members of the Crossfire Hurricane team had access to all relevant information; whether the DOJ and FBI provided congressional oversight committees with requested (or subpoenaed) documents; and whether FOIA responses included all relevant documents to the press and public.

Last Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a recently declassified FBI “Electronic Communication,” or EC, dating from September 2019, which the Iowa Republican maintains “Proves Fusion GPS Contractor Nellie Ohr Lied To Congress About Contributions To Crossfire Hurricane.” That 43-page document, drafted by a FBI Washington Field Office agent, detailed extensive evidence indicating Nellie Ohr lied multiple times during her congressional testimony concerning the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the Trump campaign.

The catalogue of evidence against Nellie Ohr, who is married to Bruce Ohr — one of the key FBI Russia-collusion hoaxers — raises the question of why the DOJ never pursued criminal charges against the Fusion GPS contractor. The EC also suggests that Nellie Ohr’s open-source research may have made its way into the Steele dossier and the fraudulent Alfa Bank materials provided to the FBI.

Those details, however, pale in comparison to two explosive facts the EC revealed by way of background. First, the EC explained the FBI’s Sentinel case management system allows investigative material to be coded “Prohibited Access,” which renders the files not merely inaccessible to other agents — but invisible to them. And second, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team designated the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations “Prohibited Access” in Sentinel, meaning any agents running keyword search in Sentinel would wrongly believe there were no responsive documents.

Here’s how the FBI Washington Field Office agent put it in the EC: “On May 3, 2019, relevant FBI/DOJ information related to this assessment [of Nellie Ohr] was inaccessible to FBI investigators given that the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations were in FBI systems under ‘Prohibited Access’ status which, unlike ‘Restricted Access’ status, precludes investigators from detecting the existence of potentially relevant serials.”

“In other words,” the EC continued, “when search terms that exist in the Prohibited Access-status cases are searched in Sentinel, the particular search will receive a false-negative Sentinel search response.”

The existence of the “Prohibited Access” classification came as a surprise to several former career prosecutors and FBI agents. Jay Town, a former career prosecutor and the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama under Trump 1.0, told The Federalist he was not aware of the “Prohibited Access” classification and shared that many of his colleagues likewise had never heard of it. “This is a staggering revelation for nearly all of us,” Town said.

At least one former assistant U.S. attorney, however, indicated he knew of the “Prohibited Access” coding, and clearly the FBI Washington Field Office agents who drafted and approved the EC were familiar with its use as well. But how many DOJ and FBI agents knew of the “Prohibited Access” functionality is unknown.

There is also scant public information about the coding and when or why it is used. For instance, the redacted public version of the FBI’s Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide does not appear to discuss the use of “Prohibited Access” in Sentinel. An inspector general’s report from 2021, however, confirms Sentinel offers a “Prohibited Access” coding and that that coding renders the files invisible to other FBI agents, with a footnote in that report explaining:

Documents and data uploaded into Sentinel are assigned one of three access levels:  unrestricted, restricted, or prohibited. The extent to which information appears in search results depends on the data’s access level and the searcher’s permissions.  Prohibited data is visible only to users with permission to view the underlying case; all other users receive no search results and would not know that information relevant to their search exists in a prohibited case.

That the FBI’s case management system allows documents, including witness statements and other evidence, to be rendered invisible to other agents searching Sentinel for relevant documents is horrifying because the federal government is legally obligated in a variety of circumstances to produce such information — but it cannot produce something that it does not know exists.

June 3, 2025 – Ron Rowe is out at Secret Service; Many agents now hope for an end to DEI policies

Former Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe said he planned to resign and retire in February but has remained on the payroll as a “senior adviser” for more than four months into the Trump administration, collecting paid leave.

Rowe’s last day was Friday, according to a knowledgeable Secret Service source, and many agents are hoping his departure will sweep out the DEI policies and lowering of standards that led to two assassination attempts against now-President Trump. After years of DEI hiring priorities, their impact is still plaguing the agency as demonstrated by the recent fistfight between two Uniformed Division officers in front of former President Obama’s D.C. residence late last month, which @RCPolitics first reported.

At least one of the big DEI priorities of former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s has now ended. With Trump’s executive order barring all DEI policies across the federal government, which placed hundreds of DEI officials on paid leave, Secret Service Director Sean Curran is no longer supporting the national 30X30 pledge to hire at least 30% women agents and officers by the year 2030, according to sources familiar with Secret Service policies. This was a major Cheatle priority, and sources say she aggressively pursued it and had achieved 24% women agents and officers with the Secret Service by the time of her forced resignation after the J13 assassination attempt last year.

There are plenty of women agents and officers who adhere to the highest Secret Service standards, but others were not hired solely on merit and at times were pushed through the process even if they didn’t pass all the training tests and requirements.

Within the hour, I’ll report in a separate post about multiple DEI conferences around the country the Secret Service was paying for its agents and employees to attend at the HEIGHT of the frenetic campaign last year while Rowe was complaining that the agency didn’t have enough taxpayer funds to keep manpower levels up.

June 3, 2025 – 50 Wins in the One Big Beautiful Bill

Here are 50 reasons why President Donald J. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill is the best chance in a generation to pass critical reforms for which Americans voted:

  • It delivers the largest tax cut in American history. This means an extra $5,000 in Americans’ pockets with a DOUBLE-DIGIT percent DECREASE to their tax bills. Americans earning between $30,000 and $80,000 will pay around 15% less in taxes.
  • It makes the Trump Tax Cuts permanent, preventing the largest tax increase ever. If the bill doesn’t pass, Americans will see the largest tax increase in history.
  • It raises Americans’ take-home pay by as much as $13,300 and wages by as much as $11,600.
  • It reverses the spending curse plaguing Washington, D.C. The bill delivers the largest deficit reduction in nearly 30 years, with $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings — the largest single reduction in mandatory spending in our country’s history.
  • It delivers NO TAX ON TIPS and NO TAX ON OVERTIME. This makes good on two of President Trump’s cornerstone campaign promises and will benefit hardworking Americans where they need it the most — their paychecks.
  • It provides historic tax cuts for seniors.
  • It finishes President Trump’s border wall. As a result, 701 miles of primary wall, 900 miles of river barriers, 629 miles of secondary barriers, and 141 miles of vehicle and pedestrian barriers will be constructed.
  • It boosts Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines with the largest border security investment in history. This means funding to hire 10,000 new ICE personnel, 5,000 new customs officers, and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents to detain and deport at least one million illegal immigrants annually.
  • It increases the child tax credit to $2,500 per family.
  • It protects Medicaid for Americans who truly need it. This bill eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse by ending benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants who are gaming the system.
  • It implements popular work requirements for able-bodied Americans receiving taxpayer-funded benefits. Through commonsense, Clinton-era work, volunteer, education, or training requirements, the One Big Beautiful Bill lifts Americans up to find a better quality of life through the dignity of work.
  • It eliminates hundreds of billions of dollars in Green New Scam tax credits. The legislation immediately stops credits from flowing to China, saving taxpayers $500+ billion every year.
  • It reverses electric vehicle mandates that let radical climate activists set the standards for American energy.
  • It ends Biden’s war on American energy. The bill finally unleashes American energy dominance by opening federal lands and waters to oil, gas, coal, geothermal, and mineral leasing.
  • It streamlines onerous permitting processes so America can get building again.
  • It refills the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to safeguard America’s energy security.
  • It repeals and rescinds every “green” corporate welfare subsidy in Democrats’ so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.”
  • It stops illegal immigrants from receiving tax credits and taxes remittances sent to foreign countries.
  • It supports small businesses by increasing the Section 199A deduction to 23% — promoting the growth and success of Main Street.
  • It incentivizes MADE IN AMERICA. The bill rewards companies that build their products in America with lower taxes — and allows Americans who buy an American-made vehicle to fully deduct their auto loan interest.
  • It creates new Trump Savings Accounts for newborns — allowing children across America to experience the miracle of compounded growth.
  • It expands access to childcare for hardworking American families.
  • It provides a historic increase in funding for the U.S. Coast Guard. This will help block illegal drugs and migrants from entering our country, protect our sovereignty in the Arctic, and promote our national security.
  • It supports building new factories to grow domestic business operations. The bill renews 100% immediate expensing and interest deductions, increases the small business deduction, and establishes 100% immediate expensing for equipment and machinery.
  • It helps American farmers, producers, and ranchers compete and sell products in foreign markets. The bill makes sure American farmers aren’t crowded out by foreign imports in liquid fuel production markets.
  • It holds woke, elitist universities accountable by increasing the endowment tax on large universities.
  • It protects hardworking taxpayers by canceling Biden’s illegal and unfair student loan bailouts.
  • It ends taxpayer-funded sex changes. It reverses the Biden-era mandate that Medicaid cover so-called “gender transition” procedures — ending the taxpayer-funded chemical castration and mutilation of American children.
  • It’s a once-in-a-generation chance to revolutionize our nation’s defense capabilities and protect the homeland against new threats by funding President Trump’s Golden Dome.
  • It enhances the capacity of America’s naval fleet. The bill provides billions of dollars to revitalize America’s shipbuilding and maritime industrial base.
  • It modernizes air traffic control — fulfilling President Trump’s plan to completely overhaul the systems that keep Americans flying safely and efficiently.
  • It strengthens SNAP benefits. The legislation requires states to contribute a greater portion of the cost of administering benefits, thereby controlling costs, and closes the excessively broad loopholes for work requirements.
  • It implements critical program integrity and cost containment provisions in Medicaid to strengthen it for future generations. These include removing deceased individuals from the program and limiting retroactive coverage from three months to one month prior to enrollment.
  • It safeguards Second Amendment rights by removing tax and registration requirements for firearm silencers and eliminating silencers from the National Firearms Act.
  • It provides critical disaster recovery funding to farmers, producers, and ranchers.
  • It provides funding to rebuild America’s military — including $9+ billion to improve quality of life for our servicemembers, $20+ billion to bolster U.S. munitions production, and $12+ billion to modernize our nuclear arsenal.
  • It expands health savings accounts to give Americans greater choice and flexibility in how they spend their money.
  • It gives $10,000 bonuses annually over the next four years to Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines.
  • It incentivizes scholarships that empower American families and students to choose the education that best fits their needs.
  • It repeals Democrats’ insane attack on the gig economy — ending the requirement that Venmo, PayPal, and other gig transactions over $600 be reported to the IRS.
  • It reforms and streamlines the federal student loan program to drive down tuition costs and simplify repayment plans. This includes reasonable limits on amounts students can borrow.
  • It strengthens accountability for students and taxpayers on federal student loans. The bill imposes “skin in the game” requirements to hold universities financially accountable to the government on defaulted federal student loans.
  • It implements critical reforms to Pell Grants to make sure they prioritize students who truly need financial assistance while promoting completion. The legislation allows grants to be used for short-term, high-quality workforce training programs to support Americans who want to learn a trade instead of the traditional four-year colleges.
  • It increases timber sales on federal lands. This means an increase in timber production and improvement to forest management — improving the resilience of timber and saving billions on future wildfire suppression costs.
  • It authorizes the sale of expanded spectrum MHz to strengthen rural broadband and secure America’s technological dominance in AI and other emerging technologies.
  • It creates permanent fees that illegal immigrants must pay for their applications so American taxpayers aren’t saddled with covering these costs. These fees will bring in over $77 billion to cover adjudication costs and fund immigration processes and enforcement actions.
  • It protects family farmers. The bill prevents the greedy death tax from hitting two million family-owned farms who would otherwise see their exemptions cut in half and cuts taxes on farmers by over $10 billion.
  • It ends abusive financing practices in Medicaid by freezing existing provider taxes and prohibiting new provider taxes. This ensures states cannot improperly increase the federal government’s cost-share of a state Medicaid program at the expense of taxpayers.
  • It reins in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren has long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy — with minimal accountability or oversight — that leverages its power against certain industries and individuals disfavored by the so-called “elites.”
  • It rolls back harmful Biden-era regulations that increase cost and administrative burdens with limited flexibility for states. These burdensome regulations, such as federal staffing mandates at nursing homes, lead to closures, reduced access to care, and increased costs, particularly in areas already overwhelmed by labor shortages.

June 3, 2025 – John Brennan is worried that the CIA and FBI won’t be “apolitical” under Trump

John Brennan, Russiagate Conspirator and Laptop Hoaxer, is worried that the CIA and FBI won’t be “apolitical” under Trump —

— and will no longer attract “principled individuals.”

“It is just so similar to the totalitarian regimes that I saw overseas in terms of making sure that the security services are doing the bidding of the political leader.”

“That’s why I think that the FBI is going to have a tough time attracting individuals that have that type of principled approach to government service.”

June 4, 2025 – Tucker responds to Mark Levin calling for war with Iran

Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin (Credit: public domain)

Mark Levin was at the White House today, lobbying for war with Iran. To be clear, Levin has no plans to fight in this or any other war. He’s demanding that American troops do it. We need to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons, he and likeminded ideologues in Washington are now arguing. They’re just weeks away.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because the same people have been making the same claim since at least the 1990s. It’s a lie. In fact, there is zero credible intelligence that suggests Iran is anywhere near building a bomb, or has plans to. None. Anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant or dishonest. If the US government knew Iran was weeks from possessing a nuclear weapon, we’d be at war already.

Iran knows this, which is why they aren’t building one. Iran also knows it’s unwise to give up its weapons program entirely. Muammar Gaddafi tried that and wound up sodomized with a bayonet. As soon as Gaddafi disarmed, NATO killed him. Iran’s leaders saw that happen. They learned the obvious lesson.

So why is Mark Levin once again hyperventilating about weapons of mass destruction? To distract you from the real goal, which is regime change — young Americans heading back to the Middle East to topple yet another government. Virtually no one will say this out loud. America’s record of overthrowing foreign leaders is so embarrassingly counterproductive that regime change has become a synonym for disaster. Officially, no one supports it. So instead of telling the truth about their motives, they manufacture hysteria: “A country like Iran can never have the bomb! They’ll nuke Los Angeles! We have to act now!”

They don’t really mean this, and you can tell they don’t by what they omit. At least two of Iran’s neighbors — both Islamic nations — already have nuclear weapons. That fact should scare the hell out of Mark Levin. Yet for some reason he never mentions it. How come? Because it’s not the weapons he hates. It’s the ideology of the Iranian government, which is why he’s lobbying to overthrow it.

It goes without saying that there are very few Trump voters who’d support a regime change war in Iran. Donald Trump has argued loudly against reckless lunacy like this. Trump ran for president as a peace candidate. That’s what made him different from conventional Republicans. It’s why he won. A war with Iran would amount to a profound betrayal of his supporters. It would end his presidency. That may explain why so many of Trump’s enemies are advocating for it.

And then there’s the question of the war itself. Iran may not have nukes, but it has a fearsome arsenal of ballistic missiles, many of which are aimed at US military installations in the Gulf, as well as at our allies and at critical energy infrastructure. The first week of a war with Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans. It could also collapse our economy, as surging oil prices trigger unmanageable inflation. Consider the effects of $30 gasoline.

But the second week of the war could be even worse. Iran isn’t Iraq or Libya, or even North Korea. While it’s often described as a rogue state, Iran has powerful allies. It’s now part of a global bloc called BRICS, which represents the majority of the world’s landmass, population, economy and military power. Iran has extensive military ties with Russia. It sells the overwhelming majority of its oil exports to China. Iran isn’t alone. An attack on Iran could very easily become a world war. We’d lose.

None of these are far fetched predictions. Most of them comport with the Pentagon’s own estimates: many Americans would die during a war with Iran. People like Mark Levin don’t seem to care about this. It’s not relevant to them. Instead they insist that Iran give up all uranium enrichment, regardless of its purpose. They know perfectly well that Iran will never accept that demand. They’ll fight first. And of course that’s the whole point of pushing for it: to box the Trump administration into a regime change war in Iran.

The one thing that people like Mark Levin don’t want is a peaceful solution to the problem of Iran, despite the obvious benefits to the United States. They denounce anyone who advocates for a deal as a traitor and a bigot. They tell us with a straight face that Long Island native Steve Witkoff is a secret tool of Islamic monarchies. They’ll say or do whatever it takes. They have no limits. These are scary people. Pray that Donald Trump ignores them.

Jeffrey Sachs divulged to Tucker Carlson the “Origination of The Deep State Project started under Clinton to expand NATO”

He explains how yesterday was truly HISTORIC DAY once that call between Trump & Putin occurred.

Every president since Clinton has signed onto this secret plan until Trump.

We had made assurances not to expand NATO to Russia and then after the fall of the Soviet Union we embarked on warp speed expansion. And the most dangerous move was to back out of the ABM (Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty) in 2002 which was designed to prevent nuclear war.

We then attempted to absorb Ukraine & Georgia into NATO.

This full segment is worth the time because it lays out how we arrived to this dangerous point that many times could have led us to WW3.

June 4, 2025 – General Flynn advises President Trump on the Russia/Ukraine war and avoiding WWIII

1. While most of America remains blissfully uninformed by our establishment press, the world’s two greatest superpowers are being manipulated by Dark Forces inside and outside our government, into a major military confrontation that no country wants, and no sane person would ever want.

2. I have no role in the Trump Administration, but over a long career in the active uniformed military, specifically military intelligence, I have made it a point to cultivate many sources of information around the world. From what I can piece together, I want to share my deep concerns about who is behind this march to war, and my recommendations for how our nation and the West can avoid a major military confrontation with Russia.

3. I believe that the American Deep State is staffed by those with a deep, visceral, and irrational hatred for Russia, and these persons have conspired to box in President Trump’s decision making through the Russiagate Hoax. During the time the Soviet Union was expanding and infiltrating our government, I was an outspoken anti-communist, but, despite the lies told by our Deep State, Russia is not the Soviet Union and Putin is not Stalin. Even today, years after the Russiagate Hoax has been exposed, President Trump’s efforts to bring peace are met with resistance. The Establishment Press, deeply influenced and even sometimes controlled by our Deep State, labeled President Trump and those who work for him “Putin’s Puppets” to goad him into taking unwarranted and aggressive steps against Russia. These voices from the establishment press reflect the views of the Deep State, not the American People, and not the MAGA movement, and should be completely disregarded, if not mocked.

4. During almost all of the post-World War II period, and certainly since the establishment of the CIA in 1947, these unelected dark establishment forces have acted to destabilize the world, bringing death, famine, assassinations, violence, coups, riots, revolutions, and destruction to our planet. Currently, these forces are working to provoke Russia into a major — perhaps a final — military conflict with the West.

5. This provocation has many forms. Most recently, it involves the surprise drone attack on the Russian federation strategic arsenal, said to affect 40 bombers, or about a third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet. Since Russian and American strategic bombers are generally required by agreement to be visible to satellite surveillance, never before has anyone engaged in an attack on these visible targets. If Russian bombers can be attacked with impunity, so can American bombers. By this action, the Ukrainian Government has not just weakened Russia, it has jeopardized America. Thus, those in the Ukrainian government who ordered these strikes have made themselves enemies not just of Russia, but of the United States. Making matters worse, this unwarranted attack was followed by Ukrainian attacks on the Kerch Strait Bridge connecting Russia and Crimea.

6. I do not believe that the recent escalation against Russia’s strategic bomber fleet was authorized by or coordinated with President Trump. Rather, it is my view that the Deep State is now acting outside of the control of the elected leadership of our nation. I believe that these persons in our Deep State are engaged in a deliberate effort to provoke Russia into a major confrontation with the West, including the United States. The time is now to take aggressive action against those who abuse their authority as government employees to manipulate the elected leadership of our nation.

7. Growing up in an Irish Democrat family in Rhode Island, I was only about five when John Kennedy was assassinated, but our family viewed John Kennedy as a hero. Not just for my family, one of our most beloved Presidents, John F. Kennedy, in 1961, found himself manipulated by earlier versions of these same Deep State forces when they attempted to manipulate President Kennedy to launch Air Force planes to attack Cuba after the failed invasion, resulting in an open conflict with both Cuba and the Soviet Union. In President Kennedy’s June 1963 speech at American University declaring his vision of peace with the Soviet Union, he declared himself to be an enemy of this Deep State, which by all indications then retaliated by participating in his assassination five months later in Dallas. The American Deep State is not only a threat to peace, but a threat to the President.

8. President Trump has already faced at least two assassination attempts. If there is one person who I believe has the character and love for our nation to rid our government of these forces, it is President Trump. After the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, President Trump displayed the type of personal courage that those of us who have served in the military deeply admire. With great affection for the President, I now urge him to risk the wrath of the Deep State once again by taking actions to purge enemies of our nation within our agencies and departments. Removing such persons from power is absolutely necessary to achieve the type of peace he described during his campaign and the beginning of his Administration.

9. Once President Kennedy realized he was being manipulated, and opposed because he sought peace, he removed Allen Dulles as Director of Central Intelligence, and several of his assistants. I urge President Trump to immediately clean house of any in government who had prior knowledge of or participated in any way in the Ukrainian attack on the Russian federation strategic bombers, and to go further by immediately declaring an end to any support for the Ukraine War. President Trump is right: this is not “his” War. I urge him to recall all open and covert military and other government personnel from Ukraine. I urge him to have all those personnel removed and interrogated by the FBI or the military to learn of their possible participation in unauthorized military activities. Any Americans who have aided and abetted Ukraine’s attacks should be investigated for violation of American law, and prosecuted as necessary.

10. I also believe President Trump should distance himself from certain Western leaders such as German Chancellor Fred Merz, who have acted and spoken in an irresponsible manner with respect to the Ukraine War. If there are countries in Europe who wish to provide military assistance to Ukraine, that is their concern, and they should not be surprised by President Putin’s response to their actions against Russia. If such leaders want to lead their nations to war by persisting in such irresponsible behavior, they will go it alone.

11. I urge President Trump to also distance himself from demonstrated war mongers in our own government, chief among whom is U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham. Those who love wars fought by others are no friends of America, and have no entitlement to be friends of the President.

12. Finally, I urge the American people to stand prayerfully and resolutely with President Trump as he cleans house and acts in pursuit of the type of peace which President Kennedy embraced. Peace is not the normal state of man. Freedom requires a price be paid by every generation. It is time to recommit our nation to both.

Food for thought…

General Flynn’s warnings about unelected bureaucrats hijacking foreign policy align with the core mission of exposing government waste and unaccountability. The Ukraine Support Act (H.R. 2913) allocates $300M annually through 2027 for military aid, yet Flynn’s analysis highlights a critical flaw: taxpayer dollars risk fueling proxy conflicts without congressional oversight or strategic clarity. This mirrors the bill’s Section 205, which mandates reports on allied contributions but lacks enforceable mechanisms to prevent mission creep.

The real issue? Bureaucrats weaponize aid to serve globalist agendas, not American interests. While national defense is non-negotiable, unchecked spending on foreign wars—without measurable outcomes or audits—is fiscal malpractice. Trump’s leadership must dismantle this corruption, redirecting resources to secure borders, energy independence, and crushing inflation.

Accountability starts with defunding Deep State operatives embedded in agencies, as Flynn rightly demands. Every dollar sent abroad should face the same scrutiny as domestic programs. No more blank checks for foreign quagmires.

June 4, 2025 – Phone records show Columbia protester and self-proclaimed ‘Jew-hater’ had direct link to Hamas terror cell

A “Jew-hater” who protested against Israel on Columbia University’s campus and contemplated setting a student on fire allegedly had a direct link to Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades militant group, The Post can reveal.

Tarek Bazrouk — awaiting trial after being indicted on three federal hate crimes against Jewish people — was “a member of a chat group that received regular updates from Abu Obeida,” the official spokesperson for the brigades, according to allegations in federal documents.

The accusation is the first evidence of an agitator receiving information directly from Hamas and taking action during protests on the university campus.

Bazrouk, 20, who was not a Columbia student, also frequently wore the green headband used by Hamas terrorists and boasted to friends about having relatives overseas who were part of the terror group, prosecutors claim in a letter filed with the court.

While on Columbia’s campus during protests in April 2024, Bazrouk allegedly texted a pal saying he lit a flare and considered lighting someone on fire, but that there were “too many” people around for him to take on, otherwise he “would’ve hurted [sic] them.”

Columbia University said it has no record of Bazrouk being on campus and wanted “to be clear that this individual is not affiliated with our University in any way,” adding that the school “strongly condemns antisemitism and violence, and we are horrified by the violence and hate crimes described in the indictment.”

Bazrouk, a US citizen born and raised in New York, was also arrested next to the campus in December 2024 for one of the three attacks against Jewish people of which he stands accused.

It is not clear how Bazrouk got on campus, which is private university property, but Columbia was beset with anti-Israel protesters shielded by masks throughout 2024, resulting in the NYPD being called to flush them out in April that year. (Read more: New York Post, 6/4/2025)  (Archive)

June 4, 2025 – NGOs & UN agencies were paid by US taxpayers to facilitate the movement of illegal aliens into the United States

June 4, 2025 – Articles of Impeachment have been filed against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson

Last week, Michigan’s dirty Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson was the first elected official in the state’s history to be held in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over subpoenaed election information to lawmakers. Today, Articles of Impeachment have been filed against the current Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for Governor, Jocelyn Benson.

The subpoena issued by the Michigan House, which demanded that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson provide election training materials, was issued in April with a May 22 deadline for submitting the materials. Unfortunately, for the citizens of Michigan, a significant portion of taxpayer dollars has been spent on defending the illegal activity by Michigan’s Secretary of State, Benson, who spends more time in court fighting lawsuits by plaintiffs demanding transparency and honest voter rolls than actually doing her job.

House Speaker Pro Tempore Rachelle Smit (R-Martin) released a statement following the contempt vote, highlighting the House’s persistence: “For seven months, we’ve given Secretary Benson every opportunity to sit down with us and discuss the training process for clerks and their staffs. I made my first information request in November of last year. Since then, we’ve gone back and forth repeatedly as MDOS has blocked our access to the materials used to train our clerks and their staff.” Joining Smit at the podium were Rep. Ann Bollin (R-Brighton Township), Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, and Rep. Jay DeBoyer (R-Clay Township), Chair of the House Oversight Committee.

The civil contempt vote was sponsored by Representatives Jay DeBoyer (R) and Ann Bollin (R) and was approved along party lines. Fifty-eight representatives voted in favor of contempt, while 47 voted against, and 5 representatives abstained from voting.  (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 6/4/2025)  (Archive)

June 5, 2025 – Senate Judiciary is investigating FBI agent Walter Giardina, who “falsely said the Steele dossier was corroborated as true” and who destroyed his govt laptop

(…) Grassley demanded Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel search for and produce all records related to Mueller and the Biden Crime Family that may currently be hiding in the “Prohibited Access” files.

“As I’m sure you are aware, the impact of parking records in a way that impedes, or in some cases prevents, responsive records from being produced to Congress pursuant to a valid request and during the course of court litigation, whether criminal or civil, is wide-ranging and potentially catastrophic to constitutional requirements,” Grassley wrote to Bondi and Patel. “Indeed, if the FBI has failed to take steps in the past to access records in ‘Restricted’ or ‘Prohibited’ status, the FBI has not fully responded to many years of my oversight requests.”

Chairman Grassley is also seeking records related to DOJ/FBI officials who destroyed federal documents related to Mueller’s bogus Trump-Russia collusion investigation.

Recall that Mueller’s top henchman Andrew Weissmann deleted his government phones numerous times during the Mueller inquisition.

Special Agent Walter Giardina who played a major role in the Mueller probe, Peter Navarro prosecution, Arctic Frost, Crossfire Hurricane, Roger Stone and Hillary Clinton cases illegally wiped his government laptop.

Per Grassley:

  • SA Giardina was an initial recipient of the Steele Dossier and falsely said that the report was corroborated as true.
  • SA Giardina stated openly his animosity toward President Trump and made known his personal motivation to investigate Trump.
  • SA Giardina electronically wiped the laptop he was assigned while working for Special Counsel Mueller outside of established protocol for record preservation, raising the possibility that he destroyed government records. The destruction of the laptop was reported to the DOJ Office of Inspector General.
  • SA Giardina instructed agents to use false Emolument Clause predication on President Trump to “dig around.”
  • SA Giardina was a case agent assigned to the Crimson River case, later changed to Red Maasari. This case was leaked, by whom it is not known, to the Washington Post in August 2024, roughly 90 days before the presidential election, in an attempt to falsely discredit President Trump.

June 5, 2025 – Nellie Ohr documents were inaccessible to FBI investigators due to their “Prohibited Access” status

A GoFundMe account was set up for the Ohr’s in October 2020 and they received over $51,000 in donations for their legal costs.. (Credit: GoFundMe)

(…) As FBI investigators were looking into FBI records of Nellie Ohr, they hit a roadblock set by the Special Counsel’s Office:

“Relevant FBI/DOJ information related to this assessment was inaccessible to FBI investigators given that the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations were in FBI systems under ‘Prohibited Access’ status which, unlike ‘Restricted Access’ status, precludes investigators from detecting the existence of potentially relevant serials. In other words, when search terms that exist in the Prohibited Access-status cases are searched in Sentinel [the FBI’s case management system], the particular search will receive a false-negative Sentinel search response.”

From the Electronic Communication, it’s pretty clear that the agents Federal Public Corruption squad were not surprised by the segregation of the Trump/Russia records. There’s no doubt that the Federal Public Corruption unit would be familiar with the Prohibited Access status, as they have (until their recent disbanding) investigated fraud, bribery, and corruption of public officials, both elected and unelected. Most likely they restricted many, if not all, of their investigations in a similar matter.

After all, it’s natural that some investigations require more secrecy than other, especially ones that are politically-charged, involve threats to the homeland, or are otherwise sensitive. And the existence of the “Prohibited Access” level – especially with regard to Crossfire Hurricane – is not itself a surprise.

In fact, it has been known since December 2019 that Crossfire Hurricane was a Prohibited Access case. In his Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation, DOJ Inspector General Horowitz was informed by witnesses that:

“Because the information being investigated related to an ongoing presidential election campaign, the Crossfire Hurricane case file was designated as ‘prohibited’ meaning that access to the file was restricted and viewable to only those individuals assigned to work on the investigation. Agents and analysts referred to the investigation as ‘close-hold’ and, as discussed later in this chapter, used covert investigative techniques to ensure information about the investigation remained known only to the team and FBI and Department officials.”

 

Similarly, as our friend Walkafyre observed, the opening Electronic Communication for the Midyear investigation (which looked into Hillary Clinton’s transmission of classified information) stated it would be “designated as a prohibited investigation” due to its sensitive nature and “the damage its disclosure would cause.”

 

But it’s not only the political cases that are designated Prohibited. IG Horowitz, in his 2021 review of the FBI’s adjudication of employee misconduct investigations, noted that “documents and data uploaded into Sentinel are assigned one of the three access levels: unrestricted, restricted, or prohibited.” At that time, Sentinel was programmed so that FBI misconduct cases were “automatically designated ‘prohibited access.’”

So it’s not the existence of cases designated “Prohibited Access” being, by themselves, a scandal. But its rather the abuses that can stem from the prohibition. It cannot be forgotten that top officials within the FBI and the Mueller Special Counsel had a significant self-interest in the Prohibited Access designation, one relating to self-preservation and also their political desire to continue to their investigative pursuits. Sunlight was the disinfectant, though it came too late.

And we get an example of that abuse in the Electronic Communication released by Grassley. The Special Counsel’s Office (SCO) refused to provide a number of requested documents, including those relating to Nellie Ohr’s boss at Fusion GPS, Jake Berkowitz. Migration of the cases from Prohibited Access to Restricted Access was slow and incomplete. At other times, the SCO never provided documents to the search requests provided by the Federal Public Corruption.

That’s your scandal – using Prohibited Access as a way to not only insulate a corrupt case but to hinder the legitimate case against Nellie Ohr, with self-protection being the ultimate goal. (The other scandal being the still unexplained decision to not prosecute Nellie Ohr.) The timing is important – the materials continued to be prohibited, and the SCO continued to be uncooperative, even after the SCO had wound-down and Mueller had issued his report in the spring of 2019.

(…) Finally, on the topic of secrecy, apparently the FBI – apparently including former Director James Comey – had other means to hide documents. It was quite simple: keep paper copies but don’t digitize the files through the normal FBI procedures. (Read more: Techno Fog/The Reactionary, 6/5/2025)  (Archive)

June 5, 2025 – Jeffrey Epstein’s defense attorney: “I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump”

June 6, 2025 – A Tennessee federal prosecutor resigns in protest over Kilmar Abrego Garcia indictment

Ben Schrader (Credit: LinkedIn)

A high-ranking federal prosecutor resigned in protest after a grand jury indicted MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia on charges of trafficking aliens.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadoran national who was illegally residing in Maryland. In 2019, an immigration judge ordered Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the dangerous MS-13 gang, removed from the US.

After a months long court battle over his deportation, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was transported back to the United States from El Salvador to face criminal charges.

(…) A federal grand jury in Tennessee indicted Kilmar Abrego Garcia for “transporting undocumented migrants within the United States.”

He was charged with one count of conspiracy to transport aliens and one count of unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens.

According to the indictment, Kilmar Abrego Garcia and co-conspirators from El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and the US were trafficking illegal aliens from 2016 through 2025.

Read the indictment here.

(…) Ben Schrader, the Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee, quit in protest after a federal grand jury indicted Abrego Garcia.

Schrader believed the federal case against Abrego Garcia was pursued for political reasons.

“Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned as Chief of the Criminal Division at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee. It has been an incredible privilege to serve as a prosecutor with the Department of Justice, where the only job description I’ve ever known is to do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons. I wish all of my colleagues at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and across the Department the best as they seek to do justice on behalf of the American people,” Ben Schrader said on LinkedIn.

June 6, 2025 – Former CIA Larry Johnson claims Lindsey Graham has laundered significant amounts of money from Ukraine

Bank account records show Senator Lindsey Graham is laundering money from the Ukraine war back into his personal bank accounts

CIA Officer says it’s “significant amounts of money” being laundered back to Senator Lindsey Graham

“Let me say something about Senator Graham. There will be news coming out in the next couple of months about how he has profited financially off of money that came out of Ukraine, laundered through Latvia and made it way into his bank account. And now we’re talking significant amounts of money. The Department of Justice is looking at it.

Those are serious allegations leveled by CIA officer, former CIA officer Larry Johnson.“

June 6, 2025 – DNI Tulsi Gabbard targeted for operating outside DC silo rules – ICIG office compromised

As we have watched things unfold, we have noticed that Tulsi Gabbard and Marco Rubio seem to be the most effective at delivering results despite the efforts of the entrenched control mechanisms of the deep state intelligence community.  Actions speak louder than words, and while the words of many are strong, it is the actions of Gabbard and Rubio that show focus.

Previously Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard removed the National Intelligence Council from the CIA and removed the heads.  In the latest development, the intelligence apparatus is in a state of apoplexy because DNI Gabbard has experienced the politicization of the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s network (ICIG), and she is now taking bold actions around the silo control mechanism.

(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

Before getting to the substance, it is worth reminding everyone of clear politicization within the ICIG when Michael Atkinson changed the CIA whistleblower rules in order to facilitate a false accusation against President Trump using CIA operative Eric Ciaramella and Alexander Vindman. Atkinson worked with his former boss in the DOJ, Mary McCord, to frame the construct of an impeachment against President Trump.

Also remember, Atkinson’s testimony to the House impeachment committee was sealed and classified by co-chairs Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler who were part of the framing.  That transcript has NEVER been released.

In the latest development, DNI Tulsi Gabbard has installed a key ally, Dennis Kirk, into the ICIG apparatus.  Kirk is in place to monitor the political operations of the Intelligence Community and report to DNI Gabbard so that she can eliminate the bad actors.  To say the Deep State IC embeds are apoplectic would be an understatement.  The Inspector General system within the Intelligence Community is a critical control mechanism for politicization of intelligence.

The leaks to the media are to the Washington Post, because this core part of the IC is a CIA element.  The CIA uses the Washington Post as their public relations and narrative distribution network.

WASHINGTON POST – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard installed one of her top advisers to a position within the office of the inspector general of the intelligence community, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The move potentially compromises the integrity of the independent watchdog office while it is investigating the use of the Signal messaging app by top government officials to discuss classified details of a pending U.S. military strike against the Houthis in March.

The adviser, Dennis Kirk, was placed within the watchdog office on May 9, but reports to the DNI, according to one of the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

Rep. Stephen F. Lynch (D-Massachusetts), the leading Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter to acting intelligence community inspector general Tamara A. Johnson on Thursday, demanding information about the appointment of Kirk, who was an adviser in the Office of Personnel Management during President Donald Trump’s first term and co-author of a Project 2025 chapter on the federal workforce.

Lynch said the Oversight Committee was informed of the appointment by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), a group made up of government watchdogs.

In a statement to The Washington Post, Gabbard’s press secretary, Olivia Coleman, accused the intelligence community inspector general of failing to fulfill “the responsibility to be an independent organization unbeholden to partisan interests.”

Coleman said that Kirk was assigned to the watchdog office as part of the transition team and found “evidence of overwhelming and intentional politicization by the current IC IG team.”

The office’s leadership, she said, has “bucked President Trump’s directives” regarding diversity, equity and inclusion, “slow-walked responses to Congressional Republicans while prioritizing responding to Democrats, abused taxpayer dollars for personal purposes, and created a workplace environment filled with politically motivated action,” she said. “This is unacceptable on all fronts, and the DNI is taking action to ensure the IG office is focused on fulfilling its mission.”

[…] “The purported appointment of the IC IG ‘senior adviser’ heightens existing concerns about politicization and improper conduct at ODNI, including the subordination of competence and accountability at the agency to political fealty to President Trump,” Lynch wrote.

[…] The intelligence community inspector general was set up by statute in 2010 to provide independent oversight over the now 18 agencies in the intelligence community. (read more)

Pay attention to when the ICIG office was constructed, 2010! 

Barack Obama took office in January 2009, with the House and Senate fully controlled by Democrats (60 Senators) throughout 2009 and 2010.  The establishment of the ICIG was part of the construct for the Fourth Branch of Govt.

Current DNI Tulsi Gabbard is working through a process to deal with the IC weaponization legacy we have discussed on these pages for quite some time.  Again, one of the few cabinet officials actually confronting the constructs within the Deep State.

Keep watching.

June 6, 2025 – FBI Director Kash Patel says Anthony Fauci’s Covid-era cell phones and hard drives thought to be missing, have been found

Via @VigilantFox

FBI Director Kash Patel sat down with Joe Rogan in Austin, Texas, where he dropped a series of revelations about the Bureau’s ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, including a promise to release jail cell surveillance footage and newly uncovered evidence that could implicate Anthony Fauci.

(…) The most explosive moment of the interview came when Patel shifted his focus to Dr. Anthony Fauci.

This was the bombshell.

After years of stonewalling, vanishing records, and unanswered questions, a major breakthrough had finally arrived: Fauci’s COVID-era phones and hard drives—once thought to be missing—had been found.

“We just had a great breakthrough this week on Fauci,” Patel revealed.

The FBI had been investigating the origins of COVID, but a key problem remained: Fauci’s communications during the most pivotal months of the pandemic were nowhere to be found.

“And nobody had found it… till two days ago.”

Now, the original hard drives are in hand. And Patel made the mission clear: “Did that guy lie? Did he intentionally mislead the world and cause countless deaths?”

He stressed that this isn’t about politics—it’s about accountability. “The best evidence is always the people’s evidence,” he said.

“We’re going to exploit those hard drives… We’re not done. We’re on the case.”

If there’s evidence Fauci manipulated data, covered up dissent, or shaped the narrative to fit a political agenda, Patel believes it could be sitting right there on those devices.

And this time, he says, the truth won’t be buried.

June 8, 2025 – Verified X account calls for criminal sabotage against ICE during LA riots

For years, the popular “LA Scanner” account on X presented itself as a simple, neutral feed with just scanner updates, crime alerts, and public safety notices. But now, the left-wing mask has finally slipped.

And what do we see underneath? A raging left-wing activist with Stage 5 TDS, an open hatred for law enforcement, and a not-so-subtle agenda to turn his 40K followers into digital foot soldiers for sabotage against ICE.

In a now-viral post, the account openly encouraged people to commit a federal crime – calling in fake reports to ICE in order to tie up their resources and “make them look like fools.” That’s not free speech. That’s incitement. That’s obstruction. And, as we mentioned, that’s a felony.

Definitely don’t call in fake reports to tie up their resources and make them look like fools pic.twitter.com/vE23FMmKCG

— LA Scanner (@LAScanner) June 8, 2025

And here’s the kicker: the guy knew exactly what he was doing. His snarky “definitely don’t call in fake reports” phrasing was a wink-and-nod to his activist base. The intent was clear—and now that it’s blowing up in his face, he’s panicking.

For those that don’t know, filing false reports to a federal law enforcement agency is illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 1001. It carries up to 5 years in prison or 8 years if it involves terrorism-related targets. And according to Grok and legal analysts, it’s easily traceable thanks to SS7 signaling, ANI data, and VoIP tracing. Translation: You will get caught.

One X user put it bluntly:

“Food for thought in case anyone wants to try and commit a felony by filing false reports… ANI makes it easy to trace your line, even if you spoof your Caller ID.”

However, things took a turn for Mr. LA Scanner once the violence escalated in LA and once MAGA accounts started calling for his arrest and removal from X. LA Scanner panicked. He posted a desperate backpedal:

“I want to be absolutely clear: I do not support the violence currently happening… If you are rioting, you need to stop… But if you’re peacefully protesting the removal of immigrants… I support your right to do so.”

Look:

The sudden backtrack from felonious wink-winks to “safety is the top priority” wasn’t just weak; it was transparent. He knew what he did. He just didn’t think it would come back on him. But it did. Because this is what happens when the left’s emotion-driven activism crosses the line into actual crime. Their fake moral high ground crumbles the second the consequences hit.

Here’s where this all started – because this isn’t just about ICE. It’s about Trump Derangement Syndrome taking over another American who let his rage cloud his judgment. Take a look at this unhinged statement he posted in the wee hours of June 9th.

LA Scanner:

I am absolutely sickened by the actions of this administration. I cannot — and will not — stand by while Donald Trump tears apart families, lives, and entire communities. What he says and what he does are not the same. While claiming to target criminals, he is deploying militarized agents to job sites and detaining entire construction crews. An 18-year-old was reportedly forced to relieve himself in front of adult men—some potentially dangerous—while in custody. Others are being held in conditions that can only be described as inhumane: sleeping on concrete floors with nothing but Mylar blankets, crowded into facilities that resemble modern-day concentration camps. This is not justice. This is cruelty. Trump is dismantling a nation built by immigrants, for immigrants. Mr. Trump: Stop. End these actions now. History is watching.

Clearly, the person running this account has more than scanners on his or her mind.

But it gets worse.

While those violent far-left mobs and Mexican nationalist rioters were wreaking havoc in L.A., Mr. LA Scanner decided to up the ante by posting what amounted to a hit list. A list of ICE locations, published in the middle of a live riot. This wasn’t public info sharing. It was tactical incitement.

Peter St. Onge:

And it’s not the first time this kind of thing has happened from LA Scanner. (Read more: Revolver News, 6/9/2025) (Archive)

INSURRECTION: Democrat activists like Jack Quillin who runs the LA Scanner 𝕏 account doxxed federal agents and directed protesters to federal buildings before and during the riots. As a result, both the agents and the buildings were repeatedly attacked. Last night he began to realize that he was putting lives in danger stating, “I genuinely hope this doesn’t end in anyone losing their life” after posting the address of a federal agent. When he provided a list of federal offices in the LA area to protesters he made sure to remind them to remain peaceful. Quillin’s operation, NightSunTV, LLC, collected the names, addresses, photos of federal officials going as far as to build an interactive map that provided a real-time view of their locations throughout the LA area. I think it would make a LOT of sense @FBIDirectorKash to have someone from the FBI reach out to Quillin before someone gets hurt.

June 8, 2025 – 30-year cover-up: Newly unearthed records confirm FBI lied about OKC bomb footage

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) There was a lot of news last week about the FBI suppressing evidence: Sen. Chuck Grassley alleged Thursday that the bureau has a “Prohibited Access” label to hide damning documents, while Director Kash Patel was widely criticized a day later for his dubious claims that the FBI doesn’t have footage of sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s associates abusing girls.

To top it off, an attorney suing the FBI in federal court filed a motion Friday afternoon, accusing the bureau of lying about footage in another scandalous case: the Oklahoma City bombing, which remains the deadliest domestic terrorism attack in American history.

The late-Friday motion comes from Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue, who’s been suing the FBI for records on the OKC bombing for decades. Trentadue said in his motion that a researcher he works with recently uncovered previously hidden FBI records about the bombing. Those records, unearthed by OKC bomb researcher Richard Booth, show that an agent falsely testified in court that the bureau didn’t have surveillance footage of OKC bomber Timothy McVeigh and his mystery accomplice “John Doe 2.”

“Booth did a text based search of those FBI records and discovered therein four documents proving that the Bureau is in possession of videotapes from security cameras at the Regency Towers Apartments (“RTA”) that show the destruction of the Murrah Federal Building, and Timothy McVeigh actually arming the truck bomb at approximately 8:57 am on the morning of [April] 19, 1995, when the Ryder Truck that was carrying the bomb was parked in front of the RTA,” Trentadue’s motion states.

“More importantly, these same RTA videotapes would show John Doe 2, the accomplice that 24-witnesses have said was in the truck with McVeigh that morning, but who the FBI insists never existed.”

Trentadue’s filing comes some 17 years after he initially sued the FBI for surveillance footage of the OKC bombing in 2008. His lawsuit went to trial in 2014, and the FBI vociferously argued that no footage from the RTA buildings exists. The presiding judge has yet to issue a final judgment, in large part due to allegations that the FBI tampered with one of Trentadue’s witnesses (that wild saga can be read here).

June 8, 2025 – Far-left riots break out in LA – 16 things to know about their “revolution”

We were warned that an internal revolution started by the communists would be coming.  We were also warned that the summer of 2025 would be a “summer of chaos” in the United States.  So the truth is that what happened in Los Angeles over the past few days shouldn’t be a surprise to any of us.  The next couple of years are going to be a time when the far left in this country gets crazier than they have ever been before.

What we have just witnessed is only the beginning.  So buckle up and hold on tight because things are only going to get wilder from here.  The following are 16 things that everyone needs to know about the extremely violent far-left revolution that just erupted in Los Angeles…

#1 The protests in Los Angeles have been extraordinarily violent.  It is being reported that objects were being thrown at police vehicles, and at one point a car was set on fire in the middle of an intersection…

KTLA video footage shows lines of law enforcement officers standing in the streets as protesters taunted them, while others blocked a roadway and threw objects at police vehicles. In addition, a car sitting in the middle of an intersection was seen engulfed in flames:

#2 The mainstream media has generally been downplaying this fact, but it has been confirmed that “multiple federal law enforcement officers” have been injured by the protesters…

Large-scale protests have sprouted throughout L.A. County including in the Westlake District, downtown L.A. and Paramount, and have escalated to violence on several occasions. A federal law enforcement official tells CBS News that multiple federal law enforcement officers were injured during confrontations with protesters on Friday and Saturday.

#3 Setting fires in southern California is a very foolish thing to do because they can easily get wildly out of control. But some of these violent protesters were “starting fires with accelerants” anyway…

On Saturday, anti-ICE protesters were filmed starting fires with accelerants during the anti-ICE rallies.

You can clearly see in a video making the rounds on X that the protesters are spraying accelerant on the dry brush before they set in on fire. Others are wearing Mexican flags as they stand by and watch.

#4 In the old days, everyone knew that you just don’t mess with the U.S. Marshals Service. They may not have realized it at the time, but the crowd of protesters that “swarmed” a U.S. Marshals Service bus could have very easily gotten shot…

A crowd swarmed a US Marshals Service bus exiting a nearby freeway, with authorities later closing on and off ramps to keep protesters from taking over the highway.

Smoke rose from burning shrubbery and refuse in the street, and demonstrators kicked at a Border Patrol vehicle.

A boulevard was closed to traffic as Border Patrol agents circulated through the area.

June 9, 2025 – Neville Singham funded Pro-Palestinian campus protests; Now tied to Anti-ICE riots

𝑵𝑬𝑽𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑬 𝑺𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑯𝑨𝑴: Funded Pro-Palestinian Campus Protests; Now Tied to Anti-ICE Riots

The LA riots were part of a series of nationwide protests organized by Communist PSL (Party for Socialism & Liberation) taking place on June 7-8.

Several days ago, Neville Singham was identified as the main backer behind PSL.

PSL printed signage and spokespeople not only for the LA riots, but also for San Antonio and other cities. I’ll document Neville Singham’s involvement below:

CNN and MSNBC referred to riots in Los Angeles as “peaceful” 170 times as of Monday afternoon since the violence broke out following a Friday raid by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a Daily Caller News Foundation review found.

President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to deploy Saturday as the riots continued in Los Angeles following a raid by ICE at a Home Depot, with video posted to social media showing an individual wearing a motorcycle helmet throwing rocks at the windshields of vehicles containing ICE agents with the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to that person’s arrest. Despite the videos of fires burning appearing on those networks, they used the term “peaceful” dozens of times, according to a DCNF review of Grabien data.

While the phrase “peaceful protests” did not appear on CNN until Sunday, it has appeared 30 times on the network, with 25 of the utterances taking place Sunday. The phrase has been used 16 times on MSNBC, 12 of them on Sunday.

The term “peaceful protest” was used 124 times from Friday to Sunday on the two corporate 24-hour news channels. CNN used that term 69 times, while MSNBC used it 55 times.

In one instance Monday, MSNBC host Ana Cabrera claimed “vastly peaceful protests” against the ICE raids were occurring in Los Angeles.

“Let’s bring this all back to where it started,” Cabrera said during a segment with , the deputy state director for California for the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). “Vastly peaceful protests of ICE operations in the Los Angeles area.”

June 10, 2025 – Pelosi says LA rioters are caught up in the “exuberance of the moment”; Claims she begged Trump for National Guard on Jan. 6

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed that rioters in Los Angeles setting fire to and vandalizing vehicles, looting businesses, and throwing objects at law enforcement officials are caught up in the “exuberance of the moment.”

While speaking at a press conference, Pelosi explained that “when there is a large gathering” of people, anarchists view it “as an opportunity and they move in.” Pelosi continued to claim that images or videos showing a “burned car or a broken window” may be due to “the exuberance of the moment” or from the anarchists.

“When — and I say this as a former party chair — when there is a gathering, a large gathering of people, the anarchists see it as an opportunity and they move in,” Pelosi said. “So, [you] always have to be careful, whether you see a burned car or a broken window, or whatever it is. It may be the exuberance of the moment, but it may be the anarchists setting in.”

June 10, 2025 – A federal grand jury returns a three-count indictment against LaMonica McIver

Today a federal grand jury seated in Newark, New Jersey returned a three-count indictment charging U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver with forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers. This indictment has a maximum penalty of 8 years for Count One, an additional maximum penalty of 8 years for Count Two, and a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison for Count Three.

As I have stated in the past, it is my Constitutional obligation as the Chief Federal Law Enforcement Officer for New Jersey to ensure that our federal partners are protected when executing their duties. While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve.

Today’s decision by the grand jury is the next step in a process that my Office will pursue to a just end.

June 10, 2025 – Democrats plan “No Kings” protests/riots across all 50 states on June 14th; Astroturfed chaos funded by billionaires and shadowy NGOs

Patrick Bet-David: (h/t Gateway Pundit)

“They’re losing their minds. It’s great to be on with you here. They’re losing their minds. But here’s the thing—when you look at Gavin Newsom, it’s very interesting how opportunistic he is and what his format is: blame, deflect; blame, deflect; get emotional; play politics; spin a little bit. The guy is such a gifted spinner.

Here’s a challenge that Californians have to be thinking about: California—this is the closest it’s ever been to being red. This is the closest California has ever been to being red in a long time. Now, a lot of the people that voted for Trump—the independents, the libertarians, and the conservatives in California that voted for Trump—they want to see changes in California.

Are you going to fall for this tactic? He’s separating families and their kids and all this… this is all this other stuff. He’s doing all this other stuff. It’s going to be interesting watching how California handles this, because if they succeed in getting everybody else emotional, we know what game they’re playing.

June 14th is President Trump’s 79th birthday—250-year army. You—you got flagged. You got all this stuff that they’re doing with America.

They don’t want to see any of these victories taking place. An Axios article came out talking about 1,500 protests—they’re already planning them in 50 states, funded by 100 progressive organizations and a lot of different NGOs. One of the Walton billionaires, Christy Walton—her name was mentioned in the New York Times. This is a 19–20 billion dollar type of person.

A lot of this money—you hear Soros, all these other things that they’re doing. They’re planning this. You know what they’re looking for? I hate to say this—they’re looking for their next George Floyd. That is all they need. They need one person. They need one massive crisis.

They have no policies. They have no good ideas. I’ve yet to see— I went on ChatGPT. I said, “Can you tell me what solutions Mayor Bass and Gavin Newsom have given to all these protesting?” There are no solutions. It’s meetings. It’s suing Trump. Zero solutions.”

June 11, 2025 – House passes Bill to repeal D.C. law allowing non-citizens to vote — 56 Democrats join Republicans

The U.S. House of Representatives just voted 266–148 to repeal Washington, D.C.’s Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which allowed non‑U.S. citizens, including potentially illegal immigrants and foreign agents, to cast ballots in local elections.

Led by Rep. August Pfluger (R‑TX), the vote drew support from 56 Democrats, proving GOP fears that D.C.’s progressive experiment threatens the sanctity of American elections.

“PASSED: My bill to prohibit noncitizens from voting in DC elections just passed the House!” Pfluger wrote on X.

He added, “It’s common sense: Only American citizens should be able to vote in U.S. elections!”

June 12, 2025 – FBI’s Kash Patel probes far-left NGOs funding anti-ICE riots

The Democratic Party’s rogue network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with Marxist-aligned political ideologies is likely serving as the organizational backbone behind recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. These demonstrations, which began as opposition to federal immigration enforcement actions, have escalated into civil unrest involving vandalism, arson, and looting, and now, the FBI has launched an investigation into the funding sources behind the chaos.

FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News, “The FBI is investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.” This comes as a pattern of escalation is consistent with previous color revolution-style mobilizations by the Democratic Party’s NGO sphere.

While experts note that protest funding itself isn’t illegal, the FBI is focusing on the intent behind financial support—particularly if it facilitated criminal activity.

“If you have to watch out for a burnt car, that isn’t a peaceful protest, that isn’t America. That’s anarchy,” acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Fox News.

Among the nonprofits identified as playing a key role in last week’s unrest are the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) and Unión del Barrio—a group seen as the Mexican version of BLM, whose manifesto openly cites Marxist and communist ideology. These groups sparked some of the first protests, which quickly morphed into unrest last week and over the weekend.

As civil unrest spreads across Los Angeles, President Trump has ordered the deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to stabilize the region. At the same time, nearly 200 NGOs linked to the Democratic Party’s activist network are reportedly coordinating efforts to export the unrest to cities across the country this weekend.

June 13, 2025 – Riot Inc. exposed: How Arabella dark money funds the protest industrial complex

Soros and Wyss Are Critical Donors: George Soros’s Open Society Network has provided over $8 million in funding to Indivisible; Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss channeled $2.5 million through his political action fund. Soros and Wyss crucial Arabella funders. Wyss is a foreign national and shouldn’t be affecting the US political process.

Force-Multiplying via Federal Dollars: Arabella-backed groups increase their protest impact by supplementing billionaire dark money with federal and state taxpayer money, amplifying unrest through this dual-funding pipeline. They’ve created a professional protest machine with government backing; sustained
not only by billionaires but indirectly by U.S. taxpayers, effectively conscripting public money into partisan activism.

June 13, 2025 – USAID official and three corporate executives plead guilty to decade-long bribery scheme involving over $550 million in contracts

(Credit: TheRealStateofAmerica/Instagram)

Four men, including a government contracting officer for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and three owners and presidents of companies, have pleaded guilty for their roles in a decade-long bribery scheme involving at least 14 prime contracts worth over $550 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars.

  • Roderick Watson, 57, of Woodstock, Maryland, who worked as a USAID contracting officer, pleaded guilty to bribery of a public official;
  • Walter Barnes, 46, of Potomac, Maryland, who was the owner and president of PM Consulting Group LLC doing business as Vistant (Vistant), a certified small business under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) contracting program, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and securities fraud;
  • Darryl Britt, 64, of Myakka City, Florida, who was the owner and president of Apprio, Inc. (Apprio), a certified small business under the SBA 8(a) contracting program, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official; and
  • Paul Young, 62, of Columbia, Maryland, who was the president of a subcontractor to Vistant and Apprio, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official.

In addition, Apprio and Vistant, both of which contracted with USAID, have agreed to admit criminal liability and enter into three-year deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) in connection with criminal informations filed today in the District of Maryland. As part of these resolutions, both Apprio and Vistant admitted to engaging in a conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and securities fraud. The DPAs entered into with Apprio and Vistant require each company to, among other obligations, provide ongoing cooperation with and disclosures to the Justice Department, implement a compliance and ethics program, and report to Justice Department regarding remediation and implementation of these compliance measures.

“The defendants sought to enrich themselves at the expense of American taxpayers through bribery and fraud,” said Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Their scheme violated the public trust by corrupting the federal government’s procurement process. Anybody who cares about good and effective government should be concerned about the waste, fraud, and abuse in government agencies, including USAID. Those who engage in bribery schemes to exploit the U.S. Small Business Administration’s vital economic programs for small businesses — whether individuals or corporations acting through them — will be held to account.”

“Watson was entrusted to serve the interests of the American people — not his own — and his criminal actions for his own personal gain undermine the integrity of our public institutions,” said U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes for the District of Maryland. “Public trust is a hallmark of our nation’s values, so corruption within a federal government agency is intolerable. This office, along with our law enforcement partners, will continue to pursue and prosecute corruption at every level to ensure accountability and protect public trust.”

“The guilty pleas reflect the FBI’s unwavering commitment to holding accountable all those who abuse the authority and responsibility of public service,” said Assistant Director Joe Perez of the FBI’s Criminal Division. “The actions of the defendants in this scheme serve to erode public trust. The FBI is focused on rebuilding this trust and protecting American taxpayers from corruption through investigations such as these.”

“Corruption in government programs will not be tolerated. Watson abused his position of trust for personal gain while federal contractors engaged in a pay-to-play scheme,” said Acting Assistant Inspector General for Investigations Sean Bottary of the USAID Office of Inspector General (USAID-OIG). “USAID-OIG is firmly committed to rooting out fraud and corruption within U.S. foreign assistance programs. Today’s announcement underscores our unwavering focus on exposing criminal activity, including bribery schemes by those entrusted to faithfully award government contracts. We appreciate our longstanding partnership with the Department of Justice in holding accountable those who defraud American taxpayers.”

“Watson exploited his position at USAID to line his pockets with bribes in exchange for more than $550 million in contracts. While he helped three company owners and presidents bypass the fair bidding process, he was showered with cash and lavish gifts,” said Chief Guy Ficco of IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI). “Through its financial crime investigations, IRS-CI works to protect taxpayer dollars and ensure government funds are awarded based on merit — not corruption. In close coordination with our law enforcement partners, IRS-CI helped put an end to their greed and criminal conduct. Now, Watson and his co-conspirators will face justice.”

Overview of Bribery Scheme

According to court documents, beginning in 2013, Watson, while a USAID contracting officer, agreed with Britt to receive bribes in exchange for using Watson’s influence to award contracts to Apprio. As a certified small business under the SBA 8(a) contracting program, which helps socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, Apprio could access lucrative federal contracting opportunities through set-asides and sole-source contracts exclusively available to eligible contractors without a competitive bid process.

Vistant was a subcontractor to Apprio on one of the contracts awarded through Watson’s influence. After Apprio graduated from the SBA 8(a) program and it was no longer eligible to be a prime contractor for new contracts with USAID under this program, the scheme shifted so that Vistant became the prime contractor and Apprio became the subcontractor on USAID contracts awarded through Watson’s influence between 2018 and 2022.

During the scheme, Britt and Barnes paid bribes to Watson that were often concealed by passing them through Young, who was the president of another subcontractor to Apprio and Vistant. Britt and Barnes also regularly funneled bribes to Watson, including cash, laptops, thousands of dollars in tickets to a suite at an NBA game, a country club wedding, down payments on two residential mortgages, cellular phones, and jobs for relatives. The bribes were also often concealed through electronic bank transfers falsely listing Watson on payroll, incorporated shell companies, and false invoices. Watson is alleged to have received bribes valued at more than approximately $1 million as part of the scheme.

In exchange for the bribe payments, Watson influenced the award of contracts to Apprio and Vistant by manipulating the procurement process at USAID through various means, including recommending their companies to other USAID decisionmakers for non-competitive contract awards, disclosing sensitive procurement information during the competitive bidding process, providing positive performance evaluations to a government agency, and approving decisions on the contracts, such as increased funding and a security clearance.

Apprio and Vistant also agreed to resolve concurrently with the Justice Department in its separate Civil False Claims Act investigations relating to the bribery scheme.

Overview of Vistant Securities Fraud Scheme

According to court documents, in 2022, Barnes and Watson defrauded a licensed small business investment company (SBIC), in furtherance of the bribery scheme, by inducing it into executing a credit agreement with Vistant. Through the credit agreement, Barnes caused Vistant to issue stock warrants that, if exercised, would result in the SBIC having a 40% equity stake in Vistant. The credit agreement also provided for a $14 million loan to Vistant from which Barnes could pay himself a $10 million dividend. Prior to executing the credit agreement, Watson agreed at Barnes’s request to speak with the SBIC about Vistant’s performance as a government contractor on USAID contracts. When speaking with the SBIC, Watson omitted that Barnes had bribed Watson to obtain USAID contracts for years. Watson’s endorsement of Vistant thereafter induced the SBIC to enter into the credit agreement with Barnes.

Overview of Apprio Securities Fraud Scheme

According to court documents, in 2023, Apprio, acting through Britt, engaged in a scheme in which Apprio fraudulently induced a private equity firm, which had an investment pool that was licensed as a SBIC, to purchase from Apprio’s parent company a 20% equity stake in the company for $4 million and simultaneously extend it a $4 million loan secured by shares of Apprio stock. In addition to making false material representations in the stock purchase and loan agreements, Britt intentionally omitted during his negotiations the material fact that he had bribed Watson for years, which was intended to deceive and induce the private equity company into executing the agreements.

Deferred Prosecution Agreements with Apprio and Vistant

The Justice Department reached its resolution with Apprio based on several factors, including Apprio’s credit for clearly accepting responsibility for its criminal conduct, fully cooperating in the investigation and engaging in timely remedial measures. Based on these factors, the criminal penalty calculated under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines reflects a 10% reduction off the bottom of the applicable Guidelines fine range pursuant to the Criminal Division Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy (CEP). According to court documents, Apprio agreed that the appropriate criminal penalty based on the law and facts in its case is $51,673,185; however, Apprio also met its burden of establishing an inability to pay the criminal penalty sought. Based on the Justice Department’s independent analysis, it determined that paying a criminal penalty and civil settlement greater than $500,000 would substantially threaten the continued viability of Apprio. Accordingly, the Justice Department determined that the appropriate resolution of this case is a DPA and a payment of $500,000 in a civil settlement.

Similarly, the Justice Department reached its resolution with Vistant based on a number of factors, including Vistant’s credit for clearly accepting responsibility for its criminal conduct and cooperating with the investigation. Although Vistant’s cooperation was initially delayed and limited, Vistant began to fully cooperate thereafter. Vistant also received credit for engaging in timely remedial measures. Based on these factors, the penalty calculated under the Guidelines reflects a 5% reduction off the bottom of the applicable Guidelines fine range pursuant to the CEP. Vistant agreed that the appropriate criminal penalty based on the law and facts in its case is $86,407,740; however, Vistant also met its burden of establishing an inability to pay the criminal penalty sought. Based on the Justice Department’s independent analysis, it determined that paying a criminal penalty and civil settlement greater than $100,000 would substantially threaten the continued viability of Vistant. Accordingly, the Justice Department determined that the appropriate resolution of this case is a DPA and a payment of $100,000 in a civil settlement.

Watson is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 6, and faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Young is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 3 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Britt is scheduled to be sentenced on July 28 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Barnes is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 14 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

The FBI, USAID-OIG, and IRS-CI are investigating the cases.

Trial Attorneys Matt Kahn and Brandon Burkart of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick D. Kibbe for the District of Maryland are prosecuting the cases.

June 14, 2025 – Highlights of Democrat Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses shot in their homes

Authorities reportedly have identified Vance Boelter as the top suspect in the killings of Democratic Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, as well as wounding Democratic Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, on Saturday, according to The Associated Press.

Law enforcement believes that Vance Luther Boelter allegedly killed Hortman and her husband early Saturday morning before going on to shoot and seriously injure Democratic State Sen. John Hoffman of Minnesota and his wife, according to the AP.

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reportedly tapped Boelter in 2019 to serve on the Governor’s Workforce Development Board after having previously served on the Governor’s Workforce Development Council under former Democratic Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, according to the New York Post.

Police said they encountered the shooter, who they reportedly believe to be Boelter, at Hortman’s home and exchanged fire before the individual managed to slip away. The individual who engaged law enforcement at the scene posed as a policeman in order to carry out the attacks on Hortman and Hoffman.

Police found “No Kings” signs in the suspect’s vehicle, and advised residents not to attend planned anti-Trump “No Kings” protests in a Facebook post. Walz stated that Hortman’s murder was a “politically-motivated assassination” during a Saturday news conference, and authorities said they have recovered a manifesto as well as a list of other targets.

– Law enforcement found a “hit list” with about 70 names on it.

– Names included “abortion providers, pro-abortion rights advocates, and lawmakers in Minnesota and other states.”

– A Father’s Day card was found that was addressed to the suspect in a bag full of ammo.

– Flyers that said “No Kings” were found in the vehicle.

– The suspect, who has been identified as Vance Boelter by the AP, had a tactical vest on.

June 14, 2025 – A North Carolina state Rep calls for President Trump’s beheading while displaying effigies of the decapitated heads of Trump and Stephen Miller

North Carolina Rep. Julie Von Hoelen (Credit: Libs of Tok Tok)Rep. Julie von Haefen attended the “No Kings” protest yesterday in North Carolina holding an effigy of what appeared to be the decapitated heads of Trump and his senior policy advisor Stephen Miller.

“Amazing turnout all across the Triangle today, including this event at the Capitol hosted by @wakedems and @ncdemocrats #lfg #nokings #nokingsprotest #nokingsinamerica #raleigh #raleighnc,” she wrote in a Facebook post.

As well as the gruesome heads of Trump and Miller, von Haefen appeared to be waving a banner that said: “In These Difficult Times, Some Cuts May Be Necessary.”

Stephen Miller’s forehead was also engraved with a swastika, a reference to Nazi symbolism. Miller himself is Jewish.

(…) Von Haefen appears to be sheltering herself from criticism by locking her X account.

The stunt brings back memories of the disgraced comedian Kathy Griffin, whose career and life went into meltdown after she held up a photo of Trump’s decapitated head shortly after he took office in 2017. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 6/15/2025)  (Archive)
