September 28, 2026 – General Flynn reposts Svetlana Lokhova’s new book “THE GRAND CONSPIRACY: How Obama Weaponized the Deep State to Destroy Donald Trump”

OUT NOW!
THE GRAND CONSPIRACY: How Obama Weaponized the Deep State to Destroy Donald Trump https://grandconspiracybook.com

November 10, 2016. The White House.

Obama shook President-elect Trump’s hand by the fireplace and said he wanted him to succeed. Obama had a secret warrant on one of Trump’s advisers, an FBI informant already working Trump’s men and a file on President-elect Trump’s National Security Adviser, and Obama said nothing.

Obama’s people built the case to destroy Donald Trump, and they wrote it down. Brennan’s pad, with Obama’s order in the margin. Strzok’s note of the Oval Office meeting, fifteen days before Obama left office: “Do cases w/ right people.” Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Yates. Their notes of what Obama told them to do are the spine of this book.

Hillary’s plan was to tie Trump to Russian intelligence to win the election and bury her emails. Obama took it over on July 28, 2016, and in August his FBI opened its case on the man President-elect Trump would name National Security Adviser, on a story of an affair with a Russian spy. When Obama shook Trump’s hand in the Oval Office, that file, with my name in it, was still open.

I was at the dinner the story was built on. The only woman at the table, and home with my husband when it ended. The informant who told Obama’s FBI about it wasn’t in the room, and Obama’s Pentagon and Obama’s FBI paid him anyway.

Obama’s officials fed the Trump-Russia fabrication to five newsrooms, swore it to a secret court, and kept the file open past the election on his order. Then they did it to President Trump twice more: a special counsel in 2017, and the raid on his home in 2022.

The prosecutors in Fort Pierce call it the Grand Conspiracy case. I kept their title and added the one name they left out: Obama’s. He left nothing in his own hand. His people recorded his orders.

200,000 words. Every document named and dated. Every person named. No anonymous sources; the sources are theirs. It ends in a grand jury room in Florida with John Brennan under subpoena, and Barack Obama not yet sent for.

September 29, 2026 – Jack Smith testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee

Jim Jordan drops a 57-page report accusing Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ of trying to tilt the 2024 election with public disclosures of his probe’s findings.

The report alleges DOJ’s own Public Integrity Section warned subpoenas to lawmakers could be unconstitutional but approved them anyway, calculating there was little “litigation risk” because the gag orders would keep lawmakers in the dark. Members of Congress were reportedly unaware of the surveillance for more than two years.

Jordan says Smith’s team “ran roughshod over key constitutional protections” and broke protocol by releasing a massive trove of alleged evidence weeks before the 2024 presidential election to sway public opinion. The report also claims Smith privately admitted to then-AG Merrick Garland that lawmakers “likely have a valid Speech or Debate privilege” — but Garland gave his blessing to proceed anyway.

Story here:

@SenMikeLee said Jack Smith’s collection of lawmakers’ records and preservation orders for the Special Counsel probe into President Trump “implicates the Fourth Amendment in a very direct way.”

Fourth Amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government

During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing:

– Senator Lee revealed that Jack Smith’s team issued “preservation” requests to Apple
– Can include ALL devices attached to Apple account
– Ordered Apple NOT to disclose the request
– Smith’s team should be alerted first

Smith, “I don’t have a recollection of specific requests”

Smith confirmed Federal Judge (Boasberg) who signed off on gag orders/non-disclosures was kept in the dark about the subpoenas’ target

BREAKING: Statement From Sean Davis, CEO and Co-Founder of The Federalist:

Corrupt cop Jack Smith spied on The Federalist and accessed our communications during his lawless anti-Trump witch hunt. We are still working to determine which of our reporters were targeted by Jack Smith and which journalistic communications he and his thugs seized.

The latest facts about Jack Smith’s illegal jihad were released by Sen. Charles Grassley during a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on Tuesday.

The Federalist’s team of investigative reporters exposed the Russian collusion hoax. We exposed the Kavanaugh hoax. We exposed the Ukraine impeachment hoax. And The Federalist’s Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway wrote the definitive account of how Democrats seized control of election infrastructure and destroyed the integrity of American elections in 2020.

For over a decade, The Federalist has fearlessly exposed Deep State corruption and DOJ lies and lawfare. Spying on us was apparently part of Jack Smith’s plot to get revenge against us.

The First Amendment is the bedrock of the American Constitution. A free press is integral to the American republic and our entire way of life. And Jack Smith fed the whole thing through a shredder in his insane and illegal attempt to rig the 2024 elections through lawfare, intimidation, and unconstitutional attacks on free speech and the First Amendment.

As shocking as this news may be to some, I am not surprised to learn of this behavior by Jack Smith and the Biden administration. At the direction of the Biden administration, the federal government illegally censored The Federalist, tried to bankrupt us, and was eventually forced to admit it had zero legal authority to do any of it.

We took these thugs to court and won when we learned of their illegal censorship efforts, and we will explore all legal options going forward to deal with Jack Smith’s lawless and un-American attempts to silence us by spying on us.

Nobody in corporate media said a word in our defense when we were illegally censored. Outlets like CNN and the New York Times, which posture as First Amendment purists, had nothing to say about the Biden administration’s illegal attempts to punish us for our rigorous and accurate journalism.

I have zero doubt that they will be similarly silent today, because they are partisan hacks who supported Jack Smith’s egregious lawfare every step of the way.

Unlike corrupt corporate media, The Federalist will always fearlessly and accurately report the news, even in the face of never-ending Democrat assaults on the First Amendment, free speech, and freedom of the press.

We will never back down, and we will never stop reporting the facts and defending the greatest nation and greatest people on earth. Hillary Clinton couldn’t stop us, Joe Biden couldn’t stop us, and Jack Smith’s corrupt thuggery won’t stop us.

Jack Smith spent today telling the Senate he was righteous. The record Grassley dropped says his team scooped up the personal checks of almost 5,000 small-dollar Trump donors and handed their home addresses and bank details to the Biden DOJ and FBI. That’s not a case against Trump. That’s a fishing net over people who wrote $10 checks. It also looks terrible for Smith and anyone who defended his work. He spent tax dollars looking into people who did nothing more than make a tiny donation to Trump. That’s absurd. It should be illegal.

Smith testified this morning that he had proof beyond a reasonable doubt Trump committed serious crimes and that he’d do it again to a president of either party. Smith can argue the two Trump cases. That’s his prerogative. Don’t pretend a $10 donor in Osage, Iowa, was part of a plot. Grassley’s committee says Smith’s Arctic Frost team collected at least 4,782 checks from September 2019 through August 2023, from all 50 states. The checks show addresses, account numbers, routing numbers, and signatures. That’s a gross invasion of privacy and an abuse of power.

Arctic Frost started as the FBI’s election investigation and became Smith’s case. Investigators can follow money in a criminal probe. That part is normal. What’s not normal is treating every small donor like a suspect and parking that person’s banking information inside the FBI. Once those records are in the building, they don’t leave.

Smith said he won’t be silenced. Nobody’s asking him to be silent. They’re asking why a special counsel needed the checking account of a person who sent Trump ten dollars. If the answer is “because we could,” that’s the abuse. That abuse should be a crime if it isn’t already.

A government that collects the bank info of its political opponents’ small donors isn’t enforcing the law. It’s building a list. Smith can keep reciting “beyond a reasonable doubt.” The $10 check is the part the public understands.

September 29, 2026 – 100% proof of CNN deceptively editing Trump’s January 6th speech

This video is 100% proof of CNN deceptively editing Trump’s January 6th speech.

It’s significant because Trump sued the BBC for doing the same thing (splicing together two sections of his speech).

CNN took two clips and joined them by overlaying B-roll footage of the January 6th crowd. CNN did not use a transition to join the clips because people would then know that the clips were not successive. Instead, CNN joined it like this to make people believe that Trump said:

“Nobody until I came along had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And we fight, we fight like hell.”

Any responsible person would watch what CNN aired and believe he said that. In fact, he did not. Sections were cut out.

We all know exactly why CNN did this. Trump should sue them too.

September 30, 2026 – ‘From death to America’ to ‘vote Democrat’: Iran’s IRGC issues midterm endorsement

Revolutionary Guard members (Credit: Vahid Salemi/AP)

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is tampering in another American election, but this latest endorsement tells you everything you need to know about how the Trump Administration’s vise grip is tightening on the mullahs. You might characterize it as a backdoor endorsement of Trump.

Indeed, in every metric, Iran‘s Maoist-inspired Shia “twelvers” are losing.

Now it seems words are among the most potent weapons they have left.

In a 26-page sternly worded letter, the IRGC asked Americans to vote against President Donald Trump and Republicans because, well, it turns out that he’s just too mean to the former largest state sponsor of terror (Turkey has taken its place).

The “Open Letter to the Honorable People of the United States of America” released Tuesday urged Americans to vote for the Democrats and to give up fighting the Iranian mullahs because, among other things, we’re winning. Indeed, Iran has had “remarkable strategic wins,” the English version of the letter declares. There’s no telling what possible Persian or Arabic versions actually say.

“Although American politicians often win your votes through deception and false promises, as Trump did, you can change the makeup of the government,” the letter stated. “Remove from power the evil, deceitful, and violent politicians who are responsible for America’s current state.”

As George Washington School of Law scholar and Fox News analyst Jonathan Turley noted, “It’s not a good sign when the IRGC shifts from “Death to America” to “Vote Democratic.”

The letter purports to set the record straight on the big questions about Iran and underlying premises for the war.

“Why do Iranians chant, ‘Death to America’? Are they hostile to the American people? The U.S. government claims that the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) is a terrorist organization. Is this true?” the letter asked. The propaganda piece hilariously answered, “it should be fairly obvious that the phrase ‘Death to America,’ which Iranians have been chanting since the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, does not in any way express any ill will toward the American people.”

It’s like a script for a Monty Python sketch.

“The letter accused Trump of concealing the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program, which Israel in particular sees as an existential threat, and the effectiveness of Tehran’s blockade of Gulf oil,” news outlet Alarabiya reported. “IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi,” the Baghdad Bob of Iran, said, ‘the American people are not knowledgeable about many developments. We believe if they knew more, they would think differently and take other decisions.’”

“The enemy [U.S.] knows that Iran is not after nuclear weapons,” Mohebbi said.

“Remove from power the evil, deceitful, and violent politicians who are responsible for America’s current state,” the Indian-based Deccan Herald reported. “Make sure your politicians understand that the world has changed.”

Never mind that its missiles, most nuke plants, army, navy, air assets, a swath of drone factories, and many IRGC leaders repose under rubble or at the bottom of the Strait of Hormuz. They’re not entirely vanquished, but after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and War Secretary Pete Hegseth get done with them, the IRGC strongmen will probably wish they’d skedaddled to a Russian dacha while the getting was good.

Sadly for the terrorists, the oil is flowing at almost pre-war levels through the Strait, and Saudi Arabia has resumed Red Sea oil shipments after Houthi (Iranian proxy) attacks. (Read more: PJ Media, 9/30/2026)  (Archive)

September 30, 2026 – Hasan Piker on James Talarico: “We are the force that allowed him to win this seat of power…if he wants to maintain it, he’s got to play ball”

During a recent event, controversial streamer Hasan Piker made some comments about Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico that seemed to indicate that, should he win, Talarico would be kept on a short leash by the leftists who ‘allowed’ him to gain power.

If this is how Piker talks about Talarico, imagine what he thinks about Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.

FOX News reports:

Hasan Piker vows he will pressure James Talarico to govern as a leftist, not a moderate

Left-wing streamer Hasan Piker vowed Wednesday that he would push Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico to govern as a leftist rather than a moderate Democrat if Talarico was elected.

“Hopefully, after James Talarico wins, we’ve got to hold him to account,” Piker said during a campus event at the University of Texas at Austin. “We’ve got to make sure that he doesn’t become another, ‘do nothing Democrat’ ‘business as usual,’ and we’ve got to keep up that pressure.

“We have to remind him that we are the force that backed him both early on,” he continued. “We are the force that allowed him to win this seat of power and if he wants to maintain it, he’s got to play ball. Right?

“And that’s good to build a resilient movement anyway, so job’s not done even after he wins,” Piker added. “So, just remember that, and, you know, remember that we do hold a lot of power in mass organizing.”…

Piker, an internet personality popular on the Twitch platform, has become a major player in left-wing politics in recent years and has a long history of controversial comments, ranging from saying “America deserved 9/11” to praising an official in New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration after a clip showed her saying she wanted to “impoverish the White middle class.”

September 30, 2026 – Ed Martin: They Will Kill You

There is a tendency, even now, to talk about lawfare as though it were primarily a legal problem. We argue about prosecutorial discretion, bar rules, judicial ethics, Justice Department policies and whether some particular norm was violated.

I think that badly understates what we are dealing with. I have been inside these institutions. I have sat with the judges. I have seen the emails. I have looked at what the people running these operations were actually doing. And the conclusion I have come to is much less comfortable than another debate about norms or professional standards.

You better get clarity on what is at stake.

Because if we stay on the same trend line, the logical progression of what we are watching is not another ethics complaint. It is not another disbarment proceeding. It is not another prosecution.

They will kill you.

I do not mean that metaphorically. That is where the progression ends if nobody stops it.

This is not about marginal tax rates. It is not about whether some provision of the ABA code ought to read one way or another. It is not even ultimately about the Justice Department’s own rules. The Justice Department has something called the Justice Manual. I barely bother with it anymore.

A few weeks ago, Leslie Stahl was sitting a block away from here telling me that the “norms” of the Justice Department had been violated.

I said: What norm? Which norm? Whose norm?

The norm?

That language does not begin to describe what has happened. Look around at the people who have already been through this. Spend ten minutes with John Eastman. Talk to Jim Troupis in Wisconsin. He came to my office. I will never forget it. People have mortgaged their homes. Sold property. Burned through savings. Watched careers they spent decades building get ripped apart.

Look at Cleta Mitchell. Everybody who knows anything about the legal profession knows that Cleta is a great lawyer. They pushed her out because she acted like a lawyer. And they would have done a lot worse if she had not had a family and people around her who could support her.

That is the reality. We should stop sugarcoating it.

I can look out from where I am speaking and see John Eastman. I can go about a mile in another direction and get to the jail where January 6 defendants were held. The day before these remarks, I walked into a podcast studio and saw a picture of Charlie Kirk on the wall. I did not ask about it. I did not want to ask about it. I did not want to think about it.

But we have to think about it. We have to think about the progression.

First, people are investigated because of their politics. Then they are prosecuted. Then their professional licenses are taken away. Then they are imprisoned. Then their reputations are destroyed. Then they are bankrupted. Then the public is conditioned to regard them as something less than fellow citizens.

At some point, if that process continues unchecked, destroying people legally, professionally and financially is no longer enough. That is why I say the endpoint is killing people.

It is not pleasant to say. It is much easier to talk about violated norms. But pretending not to see the trajectory does not change the trajectory.

And yet I do not believe that is where this is going to end. People are finally beginning to fight back. You see it with Jeff Clark. You see it with Mike Howell. You see it with Cleta Mitchell. You see it with John Eastman. You see it with people around the country who have decided they are not going to disappear simply because powerful institutions have decided they should.

We are going to be outnumbered. We are going to be outgunned. We are going to be outstaffed.

But you better not be out-cleared. That is not a word, but you know exactly what I mean. You better have clarity about what is at stake.

I once sat in a meeting with judges of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. When you are a law student, you look at federal district judges and think that maybe someday you could be one of them. These are supposed to be the crème de la crème of the legal profession, people entrusted with enormous power because they are supposed to possess unusual judgment, discipline and restraint.

Then you sit in the room with them.

Judge Chutkan would barely make eye contact with me because I was the U.S. attorney appointed by Donald Trump.

That experience tells you something. People can dress all of this up in the language of institutions, norms and professional responsibility. Spend enough time inside the system and you begin to see what is actually happening.

This is no longer a disagreement between lawyers.

That is why our response cannot be unilateral disarmament. We are not going to keep playing a game in which we voluntarily trap ourselves inside systems that other people have built, staffed and weaponized against us. We are not going to do that anymore.

Where those systems can be reformed, reform them. Where they have to be wrecked, wreck them.

And that includes judges. We are going to have to impeach judges. If members of the House will not impeach judges who refuse to abide by the law, then those members should get the hell out and voters should replace them with people who will.

Because these judges are not sitting there thoughtfully considering our arguments and concluding, “Well, those conservatives have made an interesting point, but I disagree.” They are ignoring us.

Look at what happened to Eastman. Look at what happened to Troupis. Look at the January 6 cases. Read the transcripts. Read what some of these judges said to American citizens they had decided were scum. Look at the way they lectured them. Look at the contempt.

If somebody talked to somebody else that way in a schoolyard, there would probably be a fistfight. Except in the courtroom, if you react, they arrest you again.

That is the asymmetry of the system. And I have seen more of that system than most people have. I went inside. I saw the emails. I looked at ’s emails. I looked at Jack Smith’s inbox. I looked at what these people were doing.

They are not playing around. Guys, gals, they are not playing around. So neither can we.

You better get clarity about what is at stake because this is not going to become simpler. It is not going to become easier. It is going to get harder and harder and harder.

That is why all of these efforts beginning around the country are so important.

Every politician says, “Have courage.” Fine. You are going to need courage. But courage is easier when you have people standing next to you. You have to find your band of brothers and sisters.

You need people who will stand beside you when the bar association comes after you. When the prosecutors come after you. When the press comes after you. When your colleagues suddenly stop returning your calls. When institutions you spent your life respecting decide you are disposable.

I don’t want to gut these institutions. Our crown jewels are the Constitution and the rule of law. You go to London and visit the Crown Jewels. Here, you come and look at the Constitution, the rule of law. But they are under assault, and everything is so off balance that it’s unbelievable. The way prosecutors operated after January 6 should have set off a wholesale reexamination by lawyers and judges. You guys can’t go that far. You’re off balance. The judges didn’t stop it. The bar didn’t stop it, and they went forward.

We keep thinking we can win if we have really good arguments. You can win sometimes. They let you win little things along the way. But look at what happens to people like Jeff Clark. He has suffered like hell. John Eastman should not have spent years thinking about this. He’s actually smart. He should be teaching people and doing other things. These cases take our people off the battlefield.

That is why I believe in narrative advocacy. We have to constantly reframe the narrative. The cost of creating a narrative is lower than it’s ever been, and its distribution is more extensive than it’s ever been. The mainstream media is deteriorating. It is fading and distrusted. It’s still hard because big money is still over here competing and trying to change the narrative. But that’s where we have to fight.

This is probably the greatest set of moments since the Revolutionary War. That much is at stake for the future of the world.

September 30, 2026 – Immigration judge rules US can deport leader of large mosque over national security concerns

The U.S. can deport the leader of a large mosque in Wisconsin on the grounds that he is a threat to national security, an immigration judge ruled on Wednesday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained Salah Sarsour, an outspoken supporter of Palestine, in March. Sarsour alleged the federal government was targeting him for speaking out against Israel and advocating for Palestinian rights. In June, a federal judge agreed and ordered Sarsour released, the Associated Press reported.

Sasour was born in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and was imprisoned in Israel in 1988 after confessing to throwing a Molotov cocktail and stones at Israeli military personnel. He was also convicted in 1995 of attempting to possess weapons.

He denies committing the crimes, and his attorneys allege he was tortured into confessing to them.

Government attorneys argue that Sarsour’s convictions in Israel, along with allegations he lied on his green card application, make him a threat to national security.

September 30, 2026 – The Justice Dept files a judicial misconduct complaint against Minnesota federal judges

@TheJusticeDept has filed a judicial misconduct complaint against the Minnesota federal judges who spoke to the NYT in an unethical partisan press tour on immigration cases. Judges who covet publicity undermine public confidence in the rule of law.
(…)
Aside from what is an obvious bias against @DHSgov and immigration authorities in Minnesota, these judges are commenting publicly on pending and impending cases and making political statements on matters that are or have been before them. This is a flagrant violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct, and when judges repeatedly exceed their authority—then launch a partisan press campaign—that is a threat to the rule of law.

October 2, 2026 – DOJ announces the dismantling of an international Hamas fundraising network reaching directly into America

THEY ASKED FOR GAZA AID. THE FEDS SAY THE MONEY WENT TO HAMAS.

Compassion was allegedly the bait. Hamas was the beneficiary.

Trump’s DOJ has announced the dismantling of an alleged international Hamas fundraising network reaching directly into America:

Six arrests. Three in the United States. Three in France.

Prosecutors say social media appeals promising humanitarian assistance for Gaza collected more than $1.7 MILLION—while funneling money to Hamas.

The alleged organizer, Saleem Alzaq, is described by federal authorities as a deputy battalion leader in Hamas’s military wing.

Two Louisiana brothers allegedly contributed approximately $94,000 and $11,000. A Florida man allegedly provided nearly $50,000.

Treasury says the broader network collected more than $2 MILLION for Hamas—including $1.5 million AFTER the October 7 massacre—and used charitable fronts and cryptocurrency channels.

Think about that: the suffering of civilians allegedly became a fundraising pitch for the terrorist organization helping perpetuate that suffering.

The defendants are presumed innocent. Prosecutors must prove their case.

But the principle is clear:

Protect legitimate humanitarian aid. Prosecute those who knowingly finance terrorism. Follow the money across every border it crosses.

A donation button must never become a financial lifeline for Hamas. Ever!

God bless America! 🇺🇸

October 2, 2026 – Former US Congressman sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for secretly acting as agent of Venezuelan government

Former U.S. Congressman David Rivera (Credit: Marco Bello/Reeuters)

Former U.S. Congressman David Rivera was sentenced today to 10 years in federal prison for secretly acting as an unregistered agent of the Venezuelan government and laundering millions of dollars connected to that work.

U.S. District Judge Melissa Damian imposed the sentence after a federal jury convicted Rivera, 61, of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), violating FARA, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and four counts of engaging in transactions in criminally derived property.

“Today’s sentence reinforces a simple rule: foreign influence in America cannot operate in the shadows,” said U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida. “If you act at the request, direction, or control of a foreign government and engage in covered political activity, you must comply with our disclosure laws. That can include conduct like arranging a meeting with policymakers, lobbying a government official, or promoting a foreign government’s message on social media.

“For a former Congressman from South Florida, this betrayal cuts especially deep. Rivera represented a community shaped by generations of families who fled communist oppression and came to this country seeking freedom. He knew that history. He knew what this community had endured. Yet the jury found that, for millions of dollars, he secretly used the access and relationships entrusted to him to advance the interests of the Maduro regime.

“Today’s sentence of 10 years is the consequence of that choice. In South Florida, we will aggressively enforce the laws that protect our country and our communities from covert foreign influence.”

“Today’s sentencing represents a meaningful step toward restoring public trust in the integrity of our democratic processes,” said Special Agent in Charge Brett D. Skiles of the FBI Miami Field Office. “It also demonstrates the impact of federal partners working together and combining their investigative expertise. And no attempt to conceal unlawful conduct will remain beyond the FBI’s reach.”

“This case shows that laundering illicit funds in the United States will not go unchecked,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Charles E. Miller of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) Florida Field Office. “The partnership between IRS-CI and our law enforcement counterparts was vital in exposing this operation and protecting the integrity of the U.S. financial system.”

According to court records and evidence presented at trial, Rivera and co-defendant Esther Nuhfer obtained a $50 million contract with a subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-owned and state-controlled oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), to advance the interests of the Venezuelan regime in the U.S. Without registering as foreign agents as required by law, Rivera and Nuhfer lobbied U.S. officials, including then-U.S. Senator Marco Rubio and U.S. Representative Pete Sessions, and arranged meetings between U.S. policymakers and high-ranking Venezuelan officials, including then-President Nicolás Maduro and then-Foreign Minister Delcy Rodríguez. Rivera and Nuhfer used coded language in text messages to describe their activities.

The evidence at trial further showed that Rivera deposited approximately $1.5 million in proceeds from the contract to his Florida state congressional campaign account between March 2017 and August 2018, among other personnel uses. Nuhfer used approximately $455,000 in proceeds to purchase a residence in Key Colony Beach.

Nuhfer, 52, who was convicted at trial of conspiracy to violate FARA, violating FARA, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and engaging in a transaction in criminally derived property, was previously sentenced to 60 months in federal prison.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Harold Schimkat and Roger Cruz, along with Trial Attorney David Ryan of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, are prosecuting the case.

FBI Miami and IRS-CI Florida Field Office are investigating the case. This investigation is supported by the Treasury Executive Office for Asset Forfeiture (TEOAF).

October 2, 2026 – Whistleblower: Biden admin was trafficking children with Tarek “Joey” Kadourha | Going Rogue with Lara Logan

WHISTLEBLOWER: Biden Admin Was Trafficking Children with Tarek “Joey” Kadourha | Going Rogue with Lara Logan

A former MVM site supervisor says he was hired to help rescue trafficked children, but soon heard children crying that their assigned sponsors weren’t family. In this episode, “Joey” describes raising alarms, being told to keep quiet, and overseeing transports from a San Diego stadium where he says children were held indoors for months. He also recounts agents reporting that children tried to flee during transfers and describes the personal toll of believing he helped send them back into danger. Lara presses him on his allegations, the role of contractors and officials, and his claims of retaliation after speaking out.

October 3, 2026 – Abdul El-Sayed top staffer quits campaign—Shares disturbing truth about “Manufactured Man”

Jordan Domingue, a top staffer who worked two of ’s campaigns has quit the Democrat’s U.S. Senate race and is now talking. What he describes is a candidate who has faked his way through public life, right down to the “physician” title. This is a lengthy article, but every American needs to understand, from an insiders perspective, how dangerous this man would be if elected to the U.S. Senate.

Abdul El-Sayed and Jordan Domingue (Credit: The Gateway Pundit)

In a post on X, Jordan Domingue outlines his decision to defect from Abdul’s campaign after working first on his failed gubernatorial campaign and again on his current Senate campaign.

“His foreign policy was driven by a desire to invoke what seemed like misplaced revenge.”

I protected Abdul for two years, I worked as his personal assistant/executive protection lead on his campaigns. I departed two jobs early from working abroad, moved to Michigan twice, and took paycuts averaging 50,000k.

I took his lovely wife to the hospital for visits when she was pregnant. His youngest daughter called me Mr. Jorjan. I painted him an original piece of artwork for his birthday.

I was happy to do and experience all of this. For his gubernatorial run he never mentioned foreign policy. During his senate run, his foreign policy was driven by a desire to invoke what seemed like misplaced revenge.

When I finally realized he didn’t actually care about civilians and peace, everything I had previously ignored or excused made it obvious to who he was and that I was on the wrong side.

Jordan Domingue’s profile on X reads more like that of a Republican: USMC Combat Veteran – International Security Professional – Bjj Brown Belt – Lockheed – Anti DSA – Democratic Field Organizer – Rugged Individual

After leaving Abul’s campaign, Jordan Domingue became the founder of Democrats for Mike Rogers.

Domingue uses the Dems for Mike Rogers X account to expose the truth about El-Sayed’s support for Hezbollah and Hamas.

I’ll share insight as the campaign staff member who has to this day, had the most 1:1 time with him. The first person to see him in the morning and the last to see him at night. Some average of 6-7 days a week, 12-14 hr days, 50,000+ miles, hundreds of harribo halal happy colas, and so much more.

Abdul loves this Shakespeare quote, and would say it almost daily when I worked for him. “Past is prolouge.”

Though he doesn’t adhere to it, I like the question it asks. Who are we when no one is looking? Of all the opposition research on Abdul, the mount Sinai lawsuit has been the most accurate from my experience at highlighting his character. As a 30 year old leapfrogging into a job he was inexperienced for and only got thru connections, the profile in lawsuit is revealing.

Former Mount Sinai Employees Accuse Leadership of Sexism and Ageism

Now I’m far from blameless, and will reflect for years on how I let myself be captured by loyalty and personality. When he acted liked an entitled mobster to elected officials in 2017-2018, I excused it as justified outsider earning their place. When he would say one thing to one group and another thing to a different group hours later, I considered it just the norm or “strategic ambiguity” as he calls it. When his management pushed multiple staff to tears and dangerous breaking points, in addition to them I considered his stress.

I think documents like the mount Sinai lawsuit tell the story of who he is, just as the Detroit news highlights who he wants you to forget. Past is absolutely prologue.

Reminds me of the apathy he has for animals. I don’t think he hates them, but just sees them as blobs that exist. He would say this on several occasions “I have a weird relationship with animals, I don’t know what they are thinking.” I don’t know if it’s the dog that bit him as a kid or the narcissistic need to know what everyone and everything thinks of him. Overall though he is certainly not interested in them. If not for his wife, he wouldn’t have cats.

Sure he’ll post the (ready to go out of fear) endorsement video of the woman who eventually led the health department and turned it around, but even in her endorsement language, it’s clear she had to teach him the importance of issue. Local news couldn’t have found a better picture to represent the “public health” professional for this story.

A lot of people are saying he might be gay, and I think that is inaccurate. This behavior is best explained by the guy who never grew past the high school locker room. His masculinity is a performance, and he has the maturity to match it.

One of the most disrespectful and immature forms this was shown throughout my two years with him, was his love of farting. He would openly do so without warning or embarrassment as his form of stand-up comedy. To this day for him, the act of farting is easily one of the funniest things a person can do.

On the trail he likes to say he has “10 years of public service experience.” I knew that was a lie while working for him, but I also was surprised he would say it. Not because it was a lie, but because 10 years of public service work experience at 41 was embarrassing to me.

Using this as a way to credential yourself for the U.S. Senate, as someone who didn’t work a real job until 31 was deeply out of touch. I started working in lawn care everyday after school and during long summer days when I was 8 or so years old.

A point that too many democrats don’t understand as they cling to death on “affordability”, and completely misunderstand the culture wars. People who work for a living. People whose labor is taxing on their body. People who have dirt or sometimes blood under their fingernails at the end of the 12hr day.

These people don’t trust the Democratic Party. They know that gas will still be high under the Democratic Party, because of climate initiatives instead of war. They know their economic situation won’t improve. They are red voters and will stay red voters because they know at-least things won’t get weird again.

To anyone in media interviewing him. Don’t let the appearance of toughness and his slightly antagonistic filibusters bully you. After he does his stunt just get to your questions. He will fold, and transition into the victim built on grievance, which is truly all he is. Other Arabs/Muslims understand this, and put him in check all the time.

What I find frustrating though is the man wants to be a U.S. Senator, made Israel – Palestine a core part of his primary, even based the conflict as the catalyst of his motivation to run. Yet wants to now not talk about it.

A manufactured man. They even have the shot of him pretending to be “getting his kit” ( kit = weapons, plates, etc) out of the trunk. It’s meant to invoke he has worked in law enforcement or in protection industry. That isn’t the only clip or article covering another issue, in which he is using to lie as if it was law enforcement or crime related. I have a strong suspicion that this ad only stays on YouTube and doesn’t come to this platform.

It’s also interesting that the very deputies/sheriff’s office of wayne county (he doesn’t use the county in order to pretend it’s broadly statewide) that endorsed him, did so because they worked with at same county. This is how it was described to me gleefully. It wasn’t a serious endorsement meeting. They are personal friends, and it didn’t even include policy, awareness of his defund comments, philosohy on crime, and was conducted without meeting with other primary candidates. Suspiciously this support was quiet, and due to fear of leftist anti cop backlash.

Now what is motivating this drop now. One of his biggest vulnerabilities has been crime and law enforcemenf given past comments. Additionally his half sister is charged with assault on law enforcement. However more pressing is a very recent murder in Detroit that likely will cause a big conversation on crime.

A young woman in her mid 30s was stabbed to death while on her work break from a downtown chipotle. Just minutes away from city hall. The attack was random and the suspect of course is believed to have been suffering from a mental health issue. I imagine he will have a long history of crime, with a long history of being released by progressive prosecutors. Her name was Jaquoya Wix, and she had a 15 year old daughter.

Currently Abdul and other leftist are having a moment where they have to hide or lie about their support of defunding the police, ending cash bail, emptying the jails or whatever mythical elitist critical theory nonsense they came up with to crime. The very policy positions that kill members of the working class.

The economic populism of the left doesn’t understand this. I often say that it doesn’t matter if the public transit is free, if it isn’t safe to use. Leftist will in one breath say a police free – low crime future is near, while also opposing public safety technology like flock type systems or gun shot detection systems. It is in coherent, deadly, and largely pushed by people who have little to no personal concerns of public safety.

If Abdul were an honest man, he would just say he was wrong. Say he is here to listen and learn. Instead we get this weird cosplaying chamelon. I hope
@MIPOAM
(Police Officers Association of Michigan), loudly highlight this chameleon candidate.

October 3, 2026 – The cast and crew behind the January 6 Committee’s dog and pony shows that were meant to deflect from Democrats 2020 election fraud

From The Researcher:

I found the connection between Norm Eisen’s J6 filmmaker, Nick Quested, and Norm Eisen’s sham

James Goldston (Credit: Candle Media)

January 6 committee. It is former ABC News producer James Goldston, who produced the sham J6 committee dog and pony shows.

Nick Quested was the documentarian who followed Enrique Tarrio around prior to January 6, including the January 5 garage scene with Enrique and Stewart Rhodes, which was used to say that J6 was a planned insurrection. Nick was accompanied by an FBI CHS.

Nick was also apparently conspiring with Kellye SoRelle, the Oath Keepers attorney, as per her sham J6 committee deposition, she asked him to take a look at the footage during the J5 garage scene.

Both Nick and Kellye worked with Mary in The Hague. Mary is an antifascist researcher who funneled information to the FBI, the media, the DOJ and the sham January 6 committee. Mary’s work was crucial in convicting J6ers.

Nick Quested testifies before the January 6 committee on 9 June 2022 (Credit: Wikipedia)

Nick was one of the first witnesses for the sham January 6 committee dog and pony show hearings, along with Caroline Edwards, whom Nick filmed at the initial breach on J6. Nick and his crew also filmed Ray Epps.

Nick’s footage was used throughout the sham J6 committee dog and pony shows. It was also used during the second bogus Trump impeachment by Norm Eisen’s partner in crime, Jamie Raskin.

Norm Eisen said Nick’s footage was “like the Watergate tapes and was a real time accounting of what happened”.

Norm Eisen recently said that documentarians have been a particularly vigorous part of their coalition.

Norm worked with the sham January 6 Committee, including on its dog and pony shows, which were modeled after Norm’s first bogus Trump impeachment. After Election Day 2020, Norm admitted that impeachment was in part about pre-bunking Joe Biden’s Ukraine corruption.

James Goldston was the former ABC News producer who was hired by the sham January 6 committee to produce their dog and pony shows.

James Goldston was Nightline executive producer when he worked with Nick Quested’s documentary partners, Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington, on Afghanistan coverage.

Junger & Hetherington later made Restrepo, with Nick Quested as an executive producer. Goldston is listed in the film’s “Thanks” credits.

Sebastian Junger worked with ANTIFA veteran Kristopher Goldsmith on a documentary called “Against all Enemies”.

Kris is part of the “extremist/hate” industry. He was no doubt involved in January 6, including infiltrating “extremist” groups, which is how I think they recruited some of the J6 infiltrators who were given assignments that day (yelling slogans, directing traffic, etc.) that were caught on video by Nick and his crew who were in all the right places at all the right times.

Kris also worked with Malcolm Nance, who wrote a book predicting January 6 before January 6 ever happened.

Malcolm also said he helped establish the sham January 6 committee. Malcom is part of the Democracy Inc. ecosystem.

Norm said he began planning for January 6 months before. What I think happened was that they established the conditions for what transpired on J6, had people embedded in the crowd who were instigators, and then they had Nick and his crew film it for what came next (dog and pony shows, impeachment and lawfare).

All of these people should be under investigation for the real January 6 insurrection.

October 3, 2 026 -Obama Judge Tanya Chutkan blocks Trump Ed Dept from naming foreign donors who dumped billions into Harvard, Columbia, and other elite campuses

Judge Tanya Chutkan (Credit: public domain)

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from publicly releasing the names of foreign donors and contract counterparties tied to some of America’s most prominent universities.

DC US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, the Obama appointee who presided over the federal election case against President Trump, issued a temporary restraining order barring the Department of Education from releasing a list of foreign donors tied to as much as $5.2 billion in gifts and contracts reported by the schools since 2020.

The Department of Education announced in February that universities disclosed more than $5.2 billion in reportable foreign gifts and contracts during 2025 alone, involving more than 8,300 transactions. The agency said universities have reported a cumulative $67.6 billion in foreign funding since Section 117 was added to federal law in 1986.

Section 117 of the Higher Education Act already requires schools that take federal money to report foreign gifts and contracts of $250,000 or more.

The department began collecting individual donor names in 2020, during President Trump’s first term, while telling the schools the names would stay confidential.

In June 2026, the department reversed course. It has already published 92 “counterparties of concern.” Friday was supposed to be the day the rest of the list went public.

According to the New York Post, Chutkan ruled that disclosure of the information could “constitute irreparable harm.” (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 10/3/2026) (Archive)

October 5, 2026 – The Amish in New York are facing massive fines over Democrats’ vaccine mandates

It is outrageous that the state of NY is punishing the Amish community because their children are unvaccinated. They are using money as a weapon, trying to fine these communities into compliance. This is a blatant violation of the legal principle of “informed consent” which guarantees individuals the right to make informed decisions about medical interventions, particularly vaccines, without coercion or misinformation. Without this protection, you can be forced into anything by those in power, just like the Nazis did in WWII.

Read more about it on: http://icandecide.org

(…)

New York Democrats have declared WAR ON THE AMISH. Thanks to their unconstitutional attack on religion, they’re now able to fine EACH unvaccinated Amish child $2,000 EVERY SINGLE DAY.
⠀
The $118,000 bill is one day, not the cap. Three one-room schools alone already owe that much for 59 children, at $2,000 each.
⠀
Health Commissioner Mary Bassett imposed it on December 15, 2022. She called the sum conservative because it assumed only one day out of compliance.
⠀
Dygert Road was billed $52,000 for 26 children. Pleasant View was billed $46,000 for 23.
⠀
Shady Lane was billed $20,000 for 10.
⠀
Footnote 9 of the Second Circuit opinion records the state’s view. Each day an unvaccinated student attends is a fresh violation and a fresh $2,000 fine.
⠀
Another day for those 59 children is another $118,000. A 180-day year at that rate is about $21 million, and the families say they cannot pay the first bill.
⠀
Joseph Miller, Jonas Smucker, and Ezra Wengerd run the schools. The schools sit in Clymer and Heuvelton, plus the Canajoharie settlement, and take no public money.
⠀
They had a religious exemption for decades. On June 13, 2019, Democrats repealed it after measles spread through Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Rockland County.
⠀
Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill. Governor Kathy Hochul left it in force.
⠀
A parent may not excuse a child for faith.
⠀
Senator James Skoufis said the exemption was made up and fake. Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz called it utter garbage.
⠀
Counsel Aaron Siri told the New York Post the families can pay only if the state takes their land. Some in the community have talked of leaving the state.
⠀
The case is Miller versus McDonald. The Second Circuit ruled against them on June 30 in 2026.
⠀
A Supreme Court petition was due around September 28.

Make sure EVERYONE sees this. If WE don’t stand up for these incredible men and women – WHO WILL?!?!?!
⠀
Where is the “my body my choice crowd now”? 

BREAKING: The Amish in New York are facing massive fines over Democrats’ vaccine mandates. Amish families will likely have to flee the state after losing the religious exemption they’ve had for decades.

Amish private schools are being hit with crushing fines for not having students vaccinated.

The fines are roughly $2,000 per noncompliant child, multiplied by the number of school days.

3 small schools were sited, of the 59 children already cited, one more day of attendance brought the total fines to $118,000, they say they can’t pay it.

New York Democrats’ position is that every day an unvaccinated child attends school there will be a fresh violation worth up to $2,000.

This is why I was getting so many hundreds of reports over the last couple months from Amish folks telling me they are relocating to the state of Missouri where there are no restrictions on vaccinations for their children, and they can still continue to apply their freedom of religion exemptions not to comply under the Constitution 

Controversy arises as New York allows unvaccinated migrant children in schools
https://cbsaustin.com/news/nation-world/controversy-arises-as-new-york-allows-unvaccinated-migrant-children-in-schools-state-attorney-general-letitia-james-influx-measles-chickenpox-tetanus-health-concerns

When returning to the classroom most have to be vaccinated but New York struggling to deal with an influx of migrant children is now allowing them to attend school and they don’t need to have their paperwork on vaccinations.

State Attorney General Letitia James said in a press release migrant children have to be in the classroom, but they don’t have to show the paperwork that they have received their vaccinations.

October 5, 2026 – Justice Department moves to strip citizenship from 40 criminals

The Department of Justice announced today that it has filed denaturalization actions in multiple U.S. district courts against 40 individuals accused of serious offenses, including acting as an agent for a foreign government, committing voluntary manslaughter, and aggravated sodomy against a special‑needs man. Filed between Aug. 21 and Oct. 2, 2026, these complaints represent the largest volume of complaints submitted in a single period under the Trump administration.

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a naturalized U.S. citizen’s citizenship may be revoked, and certificate of naturalization canceled, if the naturalization was illegally procured or procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.

“Today’s announcement marks the largest denaturalization effort in modern history,” said Attorney General Todd Blanche. “From an individual convicted of espionage to others convicted of sexual offenses against minors, these defendants concealed critical facts from the U.S. government and represent serious criminal offenders. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Justice will continue to employ the denaturalization process to maintain our national security and protect the American people.”

“Every single one of these individuals lied their way into U.S. citizenship,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “This administration will continue to pursue the largest denaturalization effort in department history to restore trust and integrity in U.S. citizenship. Our message is clear: the United States will not tolerate deception in the naturalization process.”

October 5, 2026 – Newly-declassified documents reveal Biden’s FBI tracked Melania and Barron Trump’s travel

The Biden-era FBI tracked Trump family travel, including the First Lady and Barron Trump, and surveilled future White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ phone as federal officials worked the classified documents investigation reaching deep into Trump’s inner circle, newly declassified records show.

Documents released Monday by the White House detail “Plasmic Echo,” the probe later led by special counsel Jack Smith into whether Trump improperly retained classified documents after leaving office. The declassified documents show agents tracked the first lady and first son’s travel while planning the Mar-a-Lago search warrant, then monitored Susie Wiles’ calls involving defense lawyers, campaign advisers and journalists.

“Jack Smith’s surveillance operation was a disgraceful abuse of government power. Spying on political opponents is weaponization of law enforcement, plain and simple,” White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. “Those responsible must be held accountable.”

The revelations come less than a week after Smith faced a contentious Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over investigative tactics used in his separate probe into Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election. That investigation, known as Arctic Frost, included the collection of phone-record information involving Republican lawmakers, while the newly released records stem from Plasmic Echo, the classified-documents investigation that ultimately led to the FBI’s 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago.

October 6, 2026 – Abdul El-Sayed is former board member of an NGO that wants to “engage in civil disobedience and get arrested”

Leaders of Sunrise Movement, a far-left climate nonprofit legally classified as a 501(c)(4) organization, said in a recent online meeting that they want to “engage in civil disobedience and get arrested.”

The video of the nonprofit’s far-left radical leaders was published on X by Karlyn Borysenko, who describes herself as an anti-communist analyst and observer of the far left.

The transcript of remarks by one of Sunrise Movement’s leaders is as follows:

What’s holding you back from getting involved, right? Like, I would assume that everyone on this call is here because they want to do something, but what’s holding you back, right? And what’s holding you back from getting more involved than you already are.

And I’ll share again for me, right? Like, one thing that’s structural for me is like, I really would love to do a direct action. I would love to get arrested doing some good trouble, some civil disobedience, as they say, but I can’t. Like structurally, that’s just something I can’t do. I would love to get arrested, but that would be a bad look.

Now, why would that be a bad look?

For Sunrise specifically, organizing riots and deliberate lawbreaking can jeopardize the nonprofit’s tax-exempt status in the Trump era, as a multi-agency task force led by the US Treasury has homed in on these nonprofits for their revolutionary Marxist work.

A New York Post report from late August detailed the Treasury task force that could soon strip tax-exempt status from George Soros’ far-left Open Society Foundations, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

One source said Treasury Department officials were “like a dog with a bone” and reckoned that many NGOs and their donor bases could be “on borrowed time.”

Publicly available records accessed through Sayari map show the organizational structure and linked entities surrounding Sunrise Movement.

Scrutiny of NGOs, whether used as foreign subversion networks or to carry out the dirty work of left-wing billionaire foundations waging war against the West, has been in full force this summer.

That may help explain why there were no riots: billionaire foundations, such as the Gates Foundation, are likely afraid of losing their tax-exempt status. (Read more: Zero Hedge, 10/6/2026) (Archive)

October 6, 2026 – Former CIA senior officer enters guilty plea after stealing millions from government

David Rush (Credit: Alexandria Sheriff’s Office)

You might remember the story of CIA senior officer David J. Rush, 49, of Ashburn, Virginia, who was indicted after an FBI investigation found gold bars, cash in dollars and euros as well as luxury cars and dozens of luxury watches.

Today the DOJ announced that Rush has plead guilty {pdf SEE HERE} in a deal where he will admit to one count of wire fraud, and that will permit the DOJ to finish prosecuting the case without revealing extremely sensitive information about the CIA operations Rush was involved in.

Rush stands accused of manipulating more than $195 million in wire transfers to his own accounts, after setting up covert fake CIA operations centered around unknown foreign intelligence efforts.  When you read the plea agreement that stipulates the facts of his activity, it certainly sounds like David Rush was able to execute the fraud under the auspices of Ukraine operations.

To be clear, there’s no mention of Ukraine, but the scale of the money involved, the timing of the activity, the location of the real estate and the attributes of the money and gold (as described) sound very Ukrainian-ish.

DOJ PRESS RELEASE – […] On May 19, 2026, the FBI searched Rush’s residence and recovered 298 gold bars, approximately $2,106,550 in cash, €104,795, and numerous luxury watches. Rush had obtained the gold bars at an approximate cost to the government of $46 million. Pursuant to the plea agreement, Rush has agreed to forfeit the gold bars and currency found at his home, the fraudulently obtained properties, 30 watches (many of which were Rolexes), and two 2026 BMW Alpina vehicles, at least one of which is valued at approximately $172,000. 

Rush is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 28, 2027. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, forfeiture, restitution, and a fine. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. (much more)

In addition to the theft, schemes and fraud, inside the plea document Rush admitted that in late 2025 he disclosed “certain descriptive information of a U.S. government clandestine human source” that could “endanger the safety and life of a CIA human source and the U.S. government officers working with the source,” as well as jeopardize America’s “ability to recruit human sources, who rely on the U.S. government’s assurance of absolute secrecy.”

This guy was so deep inside covert (sketchy) CIA stuff, the DOJ dropped a bazillion other charge options and gave him a plea deal for a single count of wire fraud.

October 6, 2026 – Former NY prosecutor claims AG Letitia James is threatening him — as he refuses to delete evidence of anti-Trump political corruption

A former prosecutor in the New York attorney general’s office claims that Letitia James is threatening him after he blew the whistle on a scheme to take down President Trump – as he refuses to delete evidence of the alleged corruption.

Daniel Wiesenfeld, who worked in James’ Investor Protection Bureau before he was axed last month, defiantly told his former boss Monday he would not be handing over “confidential and privileged” materials, according to email obtained by the Times-Union.

The blistering email also included a photo of a detective’s business card from the AG’s Executive Protection Detail that had been jammed into his front door, the paper reported.

“I am in receipt of your September 18th letter threatening me with ‘professional discipline, as well as civil and/or criminal action’ and your subsequent September 30th letter providing a deadline by 5pm today for me to confirm my destruction of your ‘confidential and/or privileged information’,” Wiesenfeld wrote Monday.

“You have also commissioned your ‘protection detail’ detectives to repeatedly hound me by banging on my front door. Attached is the business card one of them left in my door after their latest intrusion,” he continued in the email, which was also sent to Kumiki Gibson, general counsel in the attorney general’s office.

Wiesenfeld said he understands that James is “fearful” of what he might do with the “‘confidential and privileged’ materials” ahead of this year’s election, in which James is on the ballot — but said he would not be intimidated by her threats.

“These documents are simply evidence and your threats will not compel me to destroy such evidence,” he said. “If anything, carrying out your threats by bringing this to a legal forum will make this information public.”

Wiesenfeld’s latest email comes months after he sent an agency-wide email to the AG’s office claiming his supervisor ordered him to find and pursue crimes committed by those affiliated with Trump — James’ longstanding rival. (Read more: The New York Post, 10/6/2026)  (Archive)

October 7, 2026 – Minnesota: FBI arrests Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud for plotting ISIS attack at Mall of America

U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Dan Rosen announced the FBI arrested Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, 18, for allegedly plotting a mass casualty attack in support of ISIS at the Mall of America.

Fox News correspondent Garrett Tenney reported that Mohamud is an American citizen. His parents, though, are from…Somalia.

“The complaint charges Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud with acquiring an AK-47 assault rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition in order to commit a federal crime of terrorism, including attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization,” Rosen explained at a press conference.


Paul Blume of FOX 9 wrote on X that the FBI arrested Mohamed yesterday after he allegedly bought the gun and ammunition from an undercover FBI agent.

According to Blume, the charging documents allege Mohamud wanted to target the Hmong Arts Celebration on 10/24 with an attempt to kill “Chinese Vietnamese and other kuffar [non-Muslims]” at the event.

The documents also allege that Mohamud wanted to target the Mall of America because it’s owned by Jews.

“I want to harm the jew just like brothers in Australia Bondi Beach harmed the Jews,” Mohamud said, according to the documents. “I’ll just go grab assault rifle, bomb too complicated, kill maybe 30-60 people insha Allah and have 260 ammo.”

The Iranian-Canadian Ghermezian family owns the Mall of America. They are Jewish.

  • Republican Senator Susan Collins faced off against Democrat challenger Troy Jackson in a televised debate highlighted on X by Eric Daugherty.
  • When asked if voters should show ID at the polls, Jackson answered “No,” while Collins asserted that requiring proof of citizenship is common sense.

🎤 Rob’s Rants

The Left’s “Glitch” Excuse for Illegal Voters

“What kind of a glitch is this? Are you out of your frigging mind?! So the glitch wasn’t just registering them—did you check the list ever again? Do you have any maintenance procedures to validate after the fact? People get on, it’s a ‘glitch,’ but then nobody checks again, and they get sent a ballot! Should have been checked when the ballots went out the door! They fill out the ballot illegally knowing better that they’re non-citizens, send it in, and it gets counted. They don’t care because it’s not a glitch—it is intentional!”

The Statute of Limitations Trap in Election Fraud

“You see how insane this is? If you sue too early before the election, they say, ‘Where’s the fraud? The election hasn’t happened yet, your case isn’t ripe!’ Case dismissed! If you sue after, they say, ‘Oh, laches attach, you’re stopped, you should have sued earlier!’ Case dismissed! Then if you try to prosecute later, a judge says, ‘Well, the electoral votes were cast on December 14th, so the crime is completed and the statute of limitations is up!’ So you have to impanel a grand jury, gather all evidence, and indict within 30 days, or else election fraudsters get a free pass forever?!”

🌶️ Spicy Takes / Hot Takes

• Left-wing NGOs only make money when election laws are convoluted—the grift is in the gray!

• If you’re a non-citizen walking into a polling place on Election Day, you should probably take the day off and come back later.

• Democratic claims that strict voter rolls cause “chilling effects” are just code for being panicked that illegal voters are getting caught.

• The New Jersey automatic registration “glitch” wasn’t an operational oversight—it was a limited hangout to shield officials from criminal prosecution.

• Federal judges blocking grand jury subpoenas for election workers are acting like defense attorneys for Fulton County.

💬 Quotable Moments

“They make their money in the gray area. The grift is in the gray. The more convoluted our election systems are, the better it is for them.” – Rob

“Only Americans should vote in American elections. I don’t think that’s too much to ask when you go to register to vote.” – Senator Susan Collins

“Required to show ID at the polls, yes or no, Troy Jackson?” … “No.” – Troy Jackson

“There is no requirement that the alien have knowledge that he or she has illegally voted, and no conviction is required. You did it? You’re cooked.” – Rob

“Got fraud? Bridgeport has plenty of it. What an absolute embarrassment.” – Senator Rob Sampson

🤯 “Wait, What?!” Moments

• A software “glitch” in New Jersey automatically registered over 6,000 non-citizens to vote, and at least 400 of them actually cast ballots in federal elections without being flagged!

• Former Democratic State Senator Dennis Bradley showed up at an elderly woman’s apartment at nearly 7:00 PM, forced his way inside, unsealed her ballot, and made her cross out her vote!

• Fulton County ballot images from the 2020 election were actively opened and modified by unknown entities in 2024 while under official review!

• An 18-year-old in Minnesota was arrested after planning an attack at the Mall of America, only for records to suggest federal undercover operatives provided access to materials.

⚖️ Legal Analysis Breakdown

Case/Issue: United States v. Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections (11th Circuit Appeal)
  • Core argument: The Department of Justice is appealing a lower court order quashing grand jury subpoenas that sought the names and contact details of Fulton County poll workers and contractors from November 2020.
  • Significance: Federal agents already possess 600 boxes of physical ballots seized under a search warrant. Identifying the poll workers who handled those specific batches is necessary to match potential ballot fraud with responsible individuals.
  • Rob’s take: Judge Boulay’s balancing test inappropriately restricted grand jury secrecy and authority. The court bought into Fulton County’s bad-faith argument regarding the statute of limitations, ignoring the ongoing alteration of election records up through 2024.

🔗 Conspiracy Connections

  • Non-Profit Pipelines & NGO Funding: Federal task forces investigated Black Fork Strategies LLC and Amalgamated Charitable Foundation, linking DC-based assets to local canvassing hubs operating in key swing states.
  • Fulton County 2020 to 2024: The physical seizure of 600 ballot boxes directly connects to ongoing federal inquiries into metadata alterations performed on election image files years after the 2020 election occurred.

🏛️ Rob vs. The Machine

  • Called out Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson for opposing voter ID while claiming voter fraud “never happens.”
  • Exposed the double standard of federal judges shielding local election boards from grand jury subpoenas while punishing citizens for minor administrative errors.
  • Lambasted Minnesota and New Jersey election authorities for failing to perform basic voter roll maintenance, then claiming innocence under the guise of system “glitches.”

October 7, 2026 – In 1961, President John Kennedy spoke about the same Deep State criminal cabal we are facing today

TRUMP JUST REPOSTED JFK’S MOST TERRIFYING SPEECH — AND THE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING

JFK saw it coming. In 1961. And now, Trump has just made sure 300 million Americans see it, too.

The speech everyone’s talking about: Kennedy’s address to the American Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27, 1961. The CIA had just botched the Bay of Pigs. Kennedy was livid. He’d been lied to by his own intelligence apparatus. And he walked onto that stage and said something no president has dared say since.

“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice.”

Read that again. Monolithic. Ruthless. Conspiracy.

This wasn’t some fringe radio host. This was the sitting President of the United States, on live television, telling the American people that a shadow network of power — operating through intelligence agencies, media complicity, and institutional capture — was working against the republic itself.

And then he said the quiet part out loud:

“Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”

Sound familiar?

Sixty-five years later, Trump drops this video on Truth Social. No commentary needed. The speech does all the work. And within hours, the same media outlets that spent four years calling Trump a conspiracy theorist are suddenly very quiet.

Here’s what they don’t want you to connect:

– Kennedy was assassinated 2.5 years after this speech

– The Warren Commission was a joke — even the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1979 concluded Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy”

– The files are STILL classified

– Trump has been pushing to release them, but the permanent national security state refuses, instead slow-walking the order

The timing isn’t random. This isn’t just history. JFK described a permanent national security state that has only grown more entrenched — one that operates beyond elections, beyond accountability, beyond the reach of voters.

Kennedy called it “a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.”

That machine didn’t disappear when he died. It got even stronger.

Trump reposting this isn’t nostalgia. It’s a signal. The same forces JFK warned about are the same forces that tried to destroy Trump — Russiagate, two impeachments, lawfare, media blackout, assassination attempts. The playbook hasn’t changed. Only the names.

And now the sitting president just reminded the country who the real enemy has always been.

The speech that scared them then is the speech they’re terrified you’ll watch now.

Sharing this because they’re counting on you not to watch it. Don’t let them win. 🎯

October 8, 2026 – A new legal institution is created by the right to fight Lawfare and Barfare

Jeff Clark’s booking photograph (Credit: Fulton County Sheriff’s Office)

I have spent the last several years learning—the (very) hard way—a lesson that most Americans still have not learned: the courtroom has become the principal battlefield of American politics. And on that battlefield, the Left arrived with an army. The Right brought a checkbook and a prayer. That ends now.

Last week, the Oversight Project announced the launch of a new law firm—a salaried, in-house, battle-ready legal outfit whose mission can be stated in just ten words: defend our friends, and go on offense against our enemies. Backed by a generous philanthropic seed investment from Tom Klingenstein, the chairman of the Claremont Institute, the firm is designed to do what the conservative legal ecosystem has refused to build for 50 years: an institution that treats the legal defense of patriots as a standing obligation rather than a series of one-off charity bake sales.

The Problem Goes Deep

Politics in a constitutional republic does not require every citizen to be a professional political operator. A country made entirely of aspiring senators would be unbearable—and ungovernable. The genius of the American design is that ordinary people can tend to their faith, their families, their trades, and their towns, precisely because a thin line of citizens—candidates, lawyers, organizers, whistleblowers, election officials—is willing to stand in the public fray on their behalf.

If you want to destroy a republic, you do not need to repeal its constitution. You merely need to make participation in public life ruinous financially, professionally, and reputationally. Make every act of public-spirited citizenship carry the threat of personal bankruptcy, and watch the thin line slip into the invisible, based on self-selection and attrition.

The Left long ago figured this out. It moved disputes that belong at the ballot box—case by case, indictment by indictment, bar complaint by bar complaint—into venues where it holds the advantage of purse, personnel, and patience. As Tom Klingenstein pointed out in his essay, “It’s Time for the Right to Return Fire,” the Left raised at least $183 million last year for precisely this sort of activity. It amassed these funds through a sprawling network of nonprofits—including the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center—whose assets vastly outstrip the Right’s legal capacity, supplemented by a Big Law industry that does its pro bono bidding as a kind of liturgical obligation.

Everyone on the Left gets defended, while everything on our side gets challenged and our best people are persecuted and prosecuted.

Klingenstein makes the crucial category correction: we have treated Lawfare as a “series of discrete legal disputes.” It is not. It is “a system of political power”—what the old Whigs would have called an instrument of prerogative. And systems of power are defeated only by counter-institutions, not by sporadic acts of individual heroism. (Read more: AmericanMind.org, 10/8/2026)  (Archive)

October 8, 2026 – HUD announces 491 arrests in yearlong effort to find criminal illegal aliens in public housing

HUD Secretary Scott Turner and President Trump (Credit: public domain)

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development says it has helped apprehend almost 500 fugitives in a “multi-agency, multi-month law enforcement initiative” this year.

HUD said the operations included arrest of people living in public housing in a dozen cities including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and Columbus, with activities taking place throughout the year. In a statement, HUD Secretary Scott Turner cited HUD’s other initiatives to root out what it calls fraud in public housing.

“We will not allow criminal predators and fraudsters to use HUD housing as a haven or live freely on the taxpayer’s dime,” Turner said in the statement.

HUD terms the program “Operation Clean House,” and it has involved locating people with active warrants and who have been living in HUD-subsidized housing. Many of those arrested were currently living in HUD housing units, it said.

Turner said HUD’s Office of Inspector General partnered with the U.S. Marshals Service and local and state law enforcement agencies to carry out the arrests. (Read more: MSN, 10/8/2026) (Archive)

October 10, 2026 – Hillary Clinton ranks her 2016 defeat alongside 9/11 in list of America’s ‘hard times’

Former United States First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton waves to the crowd during a Nebraska Democratic Party fundraising event at the Capitol District Hilton ballroom on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026 in Omaha. Clinton fielded a variety of questions during her sit-down conversation with the crowd, covering items including school accessibility, being a woman and a mother in political office, her 2016 presidential campaign and the importance of voting in the midterm elections. (Credit: Fisher Madsen/Nebraska News Service)

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton placed her 2016 election defeat alongside the September 11 terrorist attacks, the 2008 financial crisis, and the pandemic while listing the “hard times” that Americans have endured over the years.

The twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate brought up her crushing defeat by President Donald Trump while discussing Americans’ disillusionment with politics at a Nebraska Democratic Party event Saturday.

Clinton also suggested unresolved questions remain about the election she lost to President Trump, nearly a decade after voters handed him an Electoral College victory.

The remarks came as Clinton answered a question about Democrats who feel their votes do not matter.

Clinton Revisits 2016 While Discussing National Trauma

“And you could kind of understand that, for people who feel like they’ve had a series of hard times,” Clinton said.

“If you look back on the last 25 years in our country, I was a senator from New York on 9/11.

“That was a trauma,” she added.

“The terrible financial crisis of 2008 was horrific for people.

“We had an election in 2016 that, you know, raised a lot of questions that we’re still trying to find answers for about what, what kind of really went on, and then we had COVID,” Clinton told the audience.

Clinton said Democrats must convince disillusioned voters that elected officials care about their lives.

“So if you’re somebody who is saying, does it really matter that I vote because I’m not sure I matter to the people that I’m asked to vote for?” Clinton continued.

“What we have to do is demonstrate as clearly as possible and then repeat over and over again, you do matter, and we’re going to do everything we can to try to help you have the life you deserve to have.”

She argued that Americans must work hard but said Democrats would address advantages enjoyed by those at the top.

“We’re not going to allow your hard work to continue to be undervalued and overwhelmed by the advantages that are going to the people at the very top,” Clinton said. (Read more: Slay News, 10/12/2026)  (Archive)

October 10, 2026 – Maricopa County election employee seen late at night using flash drives on certified voting equipment

Maricopa County election employees are believed to have been seen tampering with voting equipment late at night this week, appearing to install or download something on election equipment that has already been certified for use on November 3. 

The county claims that they were just “working on a legitimate election task, late into the night.” But according to Phoenix-based election watchdog group We the People Alliance, the employees left for the day at approximately 6:20 pm, then returned late at night around 9:08 pm until 11:15 pm.

Additionally, co-founder of We the People Shelby Busch tells , “There are two flaws with the Maricopa County Election Department’s statement of transparency. First, they fail to disclose to the public what this ‘legitimate election task’ was that required occurring late into the night, and second, they indicate this can be viewed 24/7 by the public; however, the feed published by WTP USA does not appear to be part of the public feeds.”

We the People obtained the non-public video from a source. This view is nowhere to be found in Maricopa County’s public livestream of election activities at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center. Still, Maricopa County claimed in a statement, “You can view our tabulation center 24/7 365 days a year.”

“We do not presume to know what was on those flash drives, but what we do know is that secure computers were unlocked and external devices were inserted into highly sensitive systems late at night and without any public oversight. Additional video footage we obtained also raises heavy concern over the chain of custody of the external flash drive,” she added.

One of the employees, We the People Alliance says, is Brian Ramirez, the same employee who was previously accused of deleting election files before voting machines were delivered to Arizona Senate auditors following the stolen 2020 election. The Gateway Pundit has not independently verified that Ramirez was involved in the latest incident.

Similar concerns about Maricopa County machine tampering after logic and accuracy testing to certify the accuracy of the election equipment arose in the 2022 election, which was stolen from Kari Lake.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Maricopa County admitted during Kari Lake’s court proceedings in 2022 to “install[ing] new memory cards on its Election Day tabulators” on October 14, 17, and 18, after the statutorily required October 11 logic and accuracy (L&A) testing. The tabulators went on to fail on election day, disenfranchising thousands of voters across Maricopa County and robbing Kari Lake of her victory over then-Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.

Likewise, the external devices were seemingly plugged into the computers, just two days after the county’s testing. Maricopa County performed L&A testing for the November 3 election on October 5. Who knows what is on these USB drives?

Surveillance video from inside the Maricopa County tabulation center appears to show one of the employees using flash drives on the computers at 10:38 pm on October 7.

October 10, 2026 – Russ Vought restructures the rules governing nearly $1 trillion in federal grants

Trump keeps pointing to Russ Vought, and the magnitude of what he’s suggesting becomes clearer when you follow the money… go with me on this…

Back in May, Vought moved to restructure the rules governing nearly $1 trillion in federal grants, introducing tighter verification, performance requirements, and accountability into a system where enormous amounts of taxpayer money have historically flowed with fragmented oversight…

Change how money flows through a system and you fundamentally change the behavior of everything dependent upon it…

Now connect OMB, Treasury, http://America.gov, and Super Intelligence (SI), bringing financial visibility, fraud detection, and measurable performance into an increasingly integrated architecture where funding follows value rather than perpetuating bureaucracy…

Extend that into tariffs, American energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and strategic investment, and the implications become considerably larger…

The sovereign wealth fund, Trump Accounts, and all this recurring talk about dividends begin revealing another dimension…

What happens when America starts converting more of its productive capacity into national assets that generate returns, eventually allowing Americans to invest directly in their own country’s growth?

An American Citizen Investment Fund, with ownership opportunities and DIVIDENDS flowing back to American households…

The possibility is extraordinary because it connects financial accountability, productive investment, national wealth creation, and citizen ownership within one evolving economic architecture…

Vought’s announcement remains undisclosed, but the pieces are increasingly coming into view, suggesting something far beyond reducing government expenditures… a fundamental change in how America retains, reinvests, and ultimately returns the wealth it creates to the American people…

May 29, 2026

What Russ Vought just did is detonate the financial nervous system of the captured administrative state…

For decades, trillions flowed automatically through NGOs, universities, contractors, DEI networks, climate slush funds, and ideological shell organizations disguised as “public service”…

Creating a self-feeding machine that used taxpayer money to fund anti-American narratives, demographic engineering, censorship infrastructure, and bureaucratic expansion…

Vought just slammed federal money behind hard sovereignty gates by tying nearly $1 trillion in grants to E-Verify, English language requirements, political oversight, performance metrics, fraud accountability, and rapid criminal referral pathways straight to inspectors general and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro…

This is federal battlefield control over the flow of capital itself… once OMB controls disbursement logic, compliance logic, audit logic, and termination authority, the entire incentive structure of the federal ecosystem changes overnight…

The activist industrial complex can no longer survive on automatic extraction from the American taxpayer because the operating system that fed it is being systematically ripped apart at the root…

October 11, 2026 – Stephen Miller lists the differences between the Republican and Democrat parties when voting in the midterms

White House chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller lists the Trump administration’s accomplishments at home and abroad on ‘My View with Lara Trump.’

“The purpose of suppression polls is designed to demoralize people, to convince people that it’s not worth continuing the fight to save and RESCUE their country!”

“Every single step President Trump took to secure the border, they ran to court and sued to try to order us to keep the border open!”

“They voted against no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security. They have not been our partners in a single one of the victories that President Trump has delivered for America.”

October 12, 2026 – Eric Coomer of Dominion Voting Systems is finally facing a jury for 2020 election fraud

🔥 6 YEARS LATER: THE DAY OF RECKONING IS HERE. 🔥

After six long years of waiting, delaying, and dodging accountability, Eric Coomer is finally facing a jury.

Mark the calendar: November 4th.

For years, key figures operated with impunity—and Coomer’s testimony was the linchpin used to indict Trump and 18 co-defendants in Georgia. But the emails don’t lie. The receipts are in, the truth is out, and taking the stand now means total cross-examination and impeachment under oath.

If he even dares to show up, the narrative crumbles in open court.

Justice isn’t just delayed anymore. It’s arriving. ⚖️💥

October 12, 2026 – Trump says there is evidence Obama had emails from Nidal Hasan saying he was going to wage jihad at Ft. Hood

Former President George HW Bush, President-elect Barack Obama, President George W Bush, Washington, DC, January 7, 2009. (Credit: David Hume Kennerly/Getty Images)

SIXTEEN years after his deadly rampage at Fort Hood, the United States Army is preparing to formally recommend the execution of Islamist terrorist Nidal Hasan — at last. President Trump, when he receives that request, should swiftly order Hasan’s death: That would be necessary justice. But it will not absolve our government for its years-long policy of lies and euphemisms surrounding Islamic radicalism that empowered Hasan to kill 13 service members — a policy that began under President George W. Bush and continued through the Obama and Biden administrations.

Fort Hood was not an unexpected “tragedy.” It was a preventable act of jihad, made possible by institutions that treated the truth about Islamist violence as more dangerous than the violence itself.

Hasan, an Army major who was given preferential treatment solely because of his Muslim religion and Arab ethnicity, murdered 13 Americans and wounded 33 others at Fort Hood, Tex., on Nov. 5, 2009. He screamed “Allahu Akbar” as he emptied his pistols into unarmed soldiers — then stalked the abattoir, shooting the wounded.

I had the honor of representing Hasan’s victims and their families in a lawsuit filed against the Army and the FBI in 2012. We sued because the government knew Hasan was an incompetent doctor and a terror threat, but chose not to act.

Hasan’s hatred for Americans was well-known. During his Army medical training, he spouted justifications for suicide bombing, defended Osama bin Laden, and said his religion trumped the Constitution.

His business card read “Soldier of Allah.” Two Army officers, an instructor and a colleague, separately called him a “ticking time bomb.”

Yet his official officer evaluation reports “sanitized his obsession with violent Islamist extremism into praiseworthy research on counterterrorism,” Senate investigators found. He was promoted to major despite manifestly poor performance — and credible evidence that he called PTSD-afflicted Americans “war criminals” in treatment sessions, urging them to convert to Islam to avoid damnation.

Hasan exchanged 18 messages with Anwar al-Awlaki, the al Qaeda cleric later killed by a US drone, asking whether service in the American military was compatible with Islam and martyrdom.

The San Diego Joint Terrorism Task Force, which was investigating Awlaki, flagged that traffic and sent it to FBI superiors in Washington. But those superiors didn’t interview Hasan, or notify his chain of command: It was too “politically sensitive.”

The lying continued as the dead were buried. In his memorial speech, President Obama did not use the words “terrorism,” “terrorist” or “terror.” Two days later Gen. George W. Casey Jr., then Army Chief of Staff, said: “What happened at Fort Hood is a tragedy . . . it would be a greater tragedy if diversity became a casualty here.”

Thereafter the Pentagon shamefully classified the attack as “workplace violence” — contradicting the evidence. The terrorist’s motive and beliefs were bureaucratically and politically taboo.

One officer told investigators that fear of discrimination complaints and “political correctness” stopped people from challenging Hasan. The fear had a purpose, and a price.

Labeling the attack “workplace violence” let officials deny the victims Purple Hearts and combat-related care, while protecting the Army’s vaunted “diversity.” The terrorist’s religion and ethnicity mattered more to the Pentagon than the safety of our soldiers.

In 2015, Congress passed a bill forcing the Obama administration to award Hasan’s victims Purple Hearts and proper benefits. Well-deserved compensation — but medals do not repair the doctrine that resulted in death.

“Political correctness” exempted an unfit officer from the rules because of his ethnicity and religion — and after he spilled Americans’ blood, to recast terrorism as an HR incident so no one had to say “violent Islamist extremism.”

The larger unfinished business is honesty. Under President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the policy of lies that empowered the terrorist Hasan is being purged from our government, our military and our immigration policy.

But those same lies are still told today in academia and medical systems, in city and state bureaucracies, and in international government and military circles. And Fort Hood teaches us that lying about the nature, the sources and the political purposes of Islamist terrorism inevitably carries a heartbreaking body count.

October 12, 2026 – Federal agents raid Ilhan Omar’s DC home amid immigration fraud investigation

Federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raided the Washington, D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Monday morning, a source familiar with the operation told Fox News Digital. (Credit: Andrew Murray/Fox News Digital)

The raid of the Somali-born congresswoman’s home started around 6 a.m. with HSI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) leading the operation. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is also involved in the investigation.

“Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation,” a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The DOJ later added that the investigation was “criminal” in nature.

Fox News Digital reached out to a spokesperson for Omar.

Border czar Tom Homan said in mid-September that the progressive congresswoman was subject to an ongoing “criminal” investigation.

HSI is the principal investigative arm of DHS. Its scope includes investigating cross-border crime and global threats, including human trafficking and child sexual exploitation, drug smuggling and cybercrime. HSI plays a major front-line role in America’s counterterrorism operations.  (Read more: Fox News, 10/12/2026)  (Archive)

Report: Ilhan Omar’s Sister Incorporated Her $20 Million USAID-Linked Consulting Firm Using the Exact Same Home Address as ‘Feeding Our Future’ Scandal

October 12, 2026 – NY rejects 16,000 Trump ICE detainers for illegal aliens accused or convicted in over 52,000 crimes

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin blasts New York for not honoring ICE detainers. (Credit: Jacquelyn Martin/AP)

New York blew off 16,000 Trump administration ICE orders to detain suspected heinous illegal migrants accused or convicted in more than 50,000 criminal charges, disturbing new data show.

The Department of Homeland Security said the municipalities across the Dem-driven state have refused to comply with its detainment requests 16,070 times since President Trump re-entered office fewer than two years ago — refusing to hand over criminal migrants suspected or convicted of everything from murder to kidnapping and sexual assault.

“While sanctuary politicians continue to release dangerous criminals onto their streets, our brave law enforcement officers will continue to risk their lives to arrest these heinous criminals and make America safe again. Illegal aliens have no sanctuary in America,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told The Post.

“We enforce these laws with no help from Mayor [Zohran] Mamdani and Governor [Kathy] Hochul.

“The Trump Administration is committed to protecting the American people in every city and every state, and we won’t let sanctuary politicians stand in our way,” Mullin said.

ICE detainers are requests made to state and local law-enforcement agencies asking them to detain a suspected illegal migrant for as long as 48 hours so that the feds can have enough time to take custody of them.

But Albany lets local governments throughout the state set their own policies, turning places such as the Big Apple into dangerous lefty “Sanctuary Cities” that refuse to honor the requests.

Hochul even signed the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act in August, which imposed restrictions on certain types of statewide cooperation with ICE on civil immigration matters.

The Trump administration has dubbed New York an entire “Sanctuary State” because of its policies restricting cooperation with the feds on immigration enforcement.

There were a deeply troubling 52,503 criminal charges or convictions associated with the ICE detainers that the municipalities across the Empire State have rejected so far under Trump, according to DHS.

Crimes allegedly committed by the illegal migrants included 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings, 1,017 sexual offenses, 1,561 counts of driving under the influence, 1,631 burglaries, 1,776 robberies and 2,198 weapons infractions. (Read more: New York Post, 10/12/2026)  (Archive)

October 13, 2026 – Michigan Dem Senator Elissa Slotkin wants to prosecute Trump admin staff to scare young conservatives

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said during an appearance at the University of Chicago on Tuesday that she wants planned prosecutions of Trump administration figures to deter young people from taking jobs in the administration.

The Michigan Democrat made the remarks at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, during a live recording of Vox’s America, Actually! podcast with editorial director Astead Herndon. A clip of the exchange circulated on X.

Slotkin said she wants to examine what she called “signature cases” and target not only the president but the officials around him:

“I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him,” Slotkin said. “I want young people coming out of school to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity. I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that. I want that deterrence message.

The account that posted the video, @ThinkerChicago, claimed the senator hopes the planned prosecutions will frighten young conservatives away from politics altogether.

In a September 30 speech to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Slotkin argued Democrats should pursue prosecutions of Trump officials if they retake Congress, comparing the effort to post-authoritarian cleanups in Europe. (Read more: Breitbart News, 10/17/2026)  (Archive)

October 13, 2026 – lhan Omar’s father served as a loyal Colonel for Somalia’s brutal dictator and lied about himself as a “refugee”

Father of Ilhan Omar, Nur Omar Mohamed (Credit: public domain)

Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations raided Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home early Monday as part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation. Sources told Fox News the probe centers on immigration paperwork filled out by her late father when she was a child. Omar called it political intimidation. The timing is ugly for her preferred story.

For years she has sold America the clean version. Her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, was an educator. The family fled Somalia’s civil war with the rest of the refugees and arrived in 1995. Her 2020 memoir paints the same picture of ordinary people escaping chaos. An exclusive in the New York Post now says that version is false.

Historian and Oxford doctoral researcher Mohamed Haji Ingiriis told the Post that Nur “misrepresented himself as a refugee” to U.S. authorities. He was a full colonel in Siad Barre’s military regime.

“Ilhan’s father was never an educator,” Ingiriis said. “Nur Said was a military officer who was loyal to the regime until the end. He was part and parcel of those who caused and created the mayhem they ‘fled’ to live comfortably in the United States.”

“He only fled when the dictatorship fell in 1991. He was the beneficiary of the military regime and should not have been given asylum whatsoever.”

Nur joined Somalia’s military in the late 1960s. Reports differ on whether he trained in the Soviet Union or Egypt. After Barre seized power in the 1969 Soviet-backed coup, Nur rose through postings in Mogadishu, Hargeisa, and Garbahaarrey.

Former army officer Yusuf Ismail Faraton, who served with him and later moved to Minneapolis, said Nur led multiple brigades, became a regiment commander, and played a significant role in the Somali-Ethiopian war of 1977-78. After the regime collapsed he ran the Daynuunaay military school. The family went to Kenya first, then claimed refugee status in America.

Barre’s regime killed as many as 200,000 people. In the north it conducted a campaign against the Isaaq clan that flattened cities with aerial bombardment, poisoned wells, and laid more than a million landmines on grazing lands. A 2001 United Nations investigation concluded the Somali government conceived, planned, and carried out genocide against the Isaaq. Ingiriis said Nur assisted the dictator in remaining in power for so long because he was protecting his career and his colonel rank.

U.S. immigration law is clear. It bars refugee status for “any person who ordered, incited, assisted or otherwise participated in the persecution of any person on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” (Read more: J.D.

October 13, 2026 – Obama to stump for Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, even though he once put Abdul’s sister-in-law on a terrorist watchlist

Barack Obama is preparing to campaign for far-left Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Obama is scheduled to appear alongside El-Sayed in Detroit on October 24 as Democrats battle to retain the Michigan Senate seat against Republican Mike Rogers.

Mariam Jukaku (Credit: Instagram)

However, court records indicate El-Sayed’s sister-in-law previously sued the federal government over her alleged inclusion on a terrorism watchlist during Obama’s presidency.

Mariam Jukaku, the sister of El-Sayed’s wife, Sarah, participated in two federal lawsuits back in 2016 challenging her placement on the government’s Terrorist Screening Database.

The lawsuits were brought with assistance from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization that supports those with ties to Islamism.

According to court filings, Jukaku began experiencing difficulties in 2012 after receiving a boarding pass marked with the designation “SSSS,” which triggers additional airport security screening.

She subsequently underwent extensive searches and questioned why she had been subjected to heightened scrutiny.

One lawsuit sought to challenge the alleged watchlist designation on constitutional grounds, while another pursued financial damages.

The litigation concluded without establishing that the government had improperly placed Jukaku on the database.

The FBI has also declined to confirm whether she was ever included on the watchlist, citing its longstanding policy of neither confirming nor denying individual designations.

Jukaku previously served as a leader of the Muslim Student Association at the University of California, Los Angeles, and edited its Muslim student publication, Al-Talib.

In 2004, she publicly rejected allegations concerning the student organization’s supposed connections to extremist groups.

“They were ridiculous allegations that didn’t make sense,” she told UCLA’s Daily Bruin at the time.

The controversy has also drawn attention to El-Sayed’s father-in-law, Tayeb Jukaku, who previously served as president of CAIR’s Michigan chapter.

According to The Midwesterner, Tayeb Jukaku has contributed at least $300,000 to a political action committee supporting El-Sayed’s Senate campaign.

Meanwhile, El-Sayed has faced separate questions about his family’s historical connections to the Muslim Brotherhood after social media posts by his half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, resurfaced.

In a 2012 post, Abdelhadi boasted about her mother’s activism for the organization, which seeks to establish an international Islamic caliphate.

October 13, 2026 – Colorado Supreme Court judges are caught in a multi-million dollar bribe and then weaponized the system to cover it up

THE $2.7M JUDICIAL Bribe & COVER-UP: HOW COLORADO JUDGES RIGGED THEIR OWN SYSTEM 🚨🧵

Think judges are held to a higher standard? In Colorado, top judges got caught in a multi-million-dollar fraud—and then weaponized the system to protect themselves.

Despite 73% of voters passing Amendment H to force judicial transparency, the court system is pushing fake, pro forma rules to keep the cover-up alive.
Here is how Colorado judges broke the law and shielded their own corruption:

💸 1. The $2.7M Taxpayer “Bribe”
When a top official got caught altering court financial records, Colorado Supreme Court Justices didn’t fire her. Instead, they negotiated a 2.66–2.75 million taxpayer-funded contract, conditioned on a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), to buy her silence.

🙈 2. Stacking the Oversight Boards
When exposed, the Justices refused to step down or recuse themselves. Instead, they used their power to stack attorney and judicial oversight boards with allies—creating a corrupt loop where they investigate and clear themselves.

⚖️ 3. Retaliation & Evidence Suppression
Judges ignored credible misconduct complaints, suppressed evidence, and used public relations strategies and gag orders to retaliate against whistleblowers and witnesses.

📜 4. Defying 73% of Colorado Voters
Amendment H stripped the Supreme Court of its power over judicial discipline. But the current committee is defying that constitutional mandate by offering toothless rules designed to protect bad judges.

🚨 The Call to Action:
Probable cause exists for First-Degree Official Misconduct and Witness Retaliation. Demands are officially set for an independent FBI probe, an out-of-state Special Prosecutor, and immediate suspensions for involved judges.

No judge is above the law. Share this to demand real accountability! 💥

October 13, 2026 – U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro confirms separate investigation into Ilhan Omar’s finances

(Credit: Valerie Plesch/Bloomberg/Eric Thayer/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)

United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro confirmed that her office has opened an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) finances, separate from the immigration-related investigation currently being carried out by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

After Omar’s Washington, DC, home was raided by Homeland Security Investigations agents on Monday, Pirro told Fox News her office had opened the probe — this one revolving around Omar’s finances.

“That is subject of an investigation as well,” Pirro said when Fox News’s John Roberts mentioned previous allegations about Omar’s net worth and finances.

“It doesn’t matter what the House does,” Pirro said. “It doesn’t matter, you know, what this agency or that does. We’re looking at the facts. Based upon the facts, we’ll follow them wherever they take us.”

In January, the New York Times reported that the Biden administration had begun an investigation into Omar’s finances after reports suggested she amassed a multimillion-dollar net worth since being elected to Congress.

Since the raid on her D.C. home, reports have circulated that the immigration-related investigation into Omar involves the birth date she used to immigrate to the U.S. from Somalia. A new report from the New York Post details how Omar’s office had her official birth year changed in public records from 1981 to 1982 after she was elected to Congress.

Pirro suggested that the evidence DOJ and DHS have against Omar must have been convincing enough for a judge in Washington, DC, to sign off on such a search warrant just weeks out from this year’s midterm elections. (Read more: Breitbart News, 10/14/2026)  (Archive)

October 14, 2026 – Biden DOJ, Jack Smith obtained data on 639K Republican donors in Arctic Frost probe: Grassley

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Wednesday revealed the Biden Justice Department and Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained detailed donor data and voter information on over 639,000 individuals during the Arctic Frost investigation.

The types of information contained in the spreadsheet include: names, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses, party affiliation, places of employment, donation amounts, credit card information, and donor habits.

Additionally, the donor and potential voter data ranged from 2005 to 2021, which Grassley described as “well outside Smith’s scope of purported review.” At the time, Smith was probing President Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

This is further evidence, the Iowa senator said, “that the Special Counsel operation was designed to map out the Republican Party.”

“Jack Smith’s SCO and Biden’s Justice Department obtained spreadsheets containing Republican campaign donors, supporters, and detailed personal voter information in various formats, totaling over 639,000 individuals, at minimum,” Grassley wrote in a memo to his committee. “Out of those, over 148,000 rows are identified in the spreadsheets as donors. The donors generally contributed small dollar amounts.”

The data were provided to Grassley in response to the senator’s subpoenas seeking further information on Smith’s efforts to gain data on Trump-aligned groups. It follows the senator’s September revelation that Smith subpoenaed roughly 5,000 checks from Americans who made donations to President Donald Trump’s campaign during his investigation.

Additionally, Grassley found that Smith’s Special Counsel’s Office and the Biden Justice Department obtained the names of Trump campaign personnel, possibly including volunteers.

They also obtained information on “sales of red MAGA hats, including individual buyers, their purchases and their shipping addresses for home delivery.”  (Read more: Just the News, 10/14/2026)  (Archive)

October 15, 2026 – OCC investigation finds big banks debanked conservatives and christian groups

(Credit: Ting Shen/Bloomberg via Getty Images)

Many of America’s biggest banks waged a cancel culture war against conservatives and Christian groups over their politics and religious beliefs, a federal investigation revealed this week.

Major U.S. banks denied financial services to conservative businesses, Trump merchandise sellers and Christian organizations, with employees citing customers’ political views, religious beliefs and conflicts with the banks’ own values, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said in a report released Wednesday.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s report documents account closures, rejected financing and internal screening for terms including “MAGA” and “America First.” It also shows bank employees weighing potential pressure from the Biden administration when deciding whether to serve lawful businesses.

The agency is considering additional rules, bringing debanking records into merger and community-lending reviews, and opening a path for customers to obtain confidential supervisory information in private litigation.

All nine national banks that the OCC reviewed maintained policies restricting services or requiring heightened scrutiny based on reputation risk or industry. The specific findings varied: JPMorgan Chase, PNC, Wells Fargo, and Capital One were cited in completed denials or closures involving political or religious views. The report’s examples involving Citibank and Bank of America concerned industry restrictions and other so-called “reputation-risk” decisions, rather than denials based on customers’ religious beliefs or political affiliations.

Industry restrictions covered Arctic oil and gas exploration and development, coal mining and coal-fired power plants, firearms and ammunition, private prisons and detention facilities, tobacco and e-cigarettes, and digital assets.

Many restrictions reflected anticipated reactions from activists, shareholders, politicians and other stakeholders rather than assessments of financial or operational risk. Digital-asset restrictions were also frequently attributed to concerns about financial crime.

“Today’s report provides irrefutable evidence that the nation’s largest banks have denied, debanked and discriminated against customers and lawful businesses,” Comptroller Jonathan Gould said in an accompanying statement.

The review examined nearly 100,000 complaints, hundreds of individual decisions and approximately 420,000 pages of bank documents. The review covered 2020 through September 2025. President Donald Trump ordered the investigation as part of his effort to end politically motivated debanking. (Read more: Breitbart News, 10/15/2026)  (Archive)

October 15, 2026 – Zelenskyy urgently sits down for interviews as Trump begins highlighting “the Zelenskyy problem”

It is almost impossible to explain what is happening to those who have not followed the last five years of events closely.

In the latest development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, attempting his best Churchill performance, rushed to British media outlets for lengthy interviews yesterday. Zelenskyy is in London because that is the center of his support system.

If you are a denier of CTH’s long-standing outline about Ukraine being World War Reddit, yet you hold some intellectual honesty permitting you to accept uncomfortable truth, you might perhaps pause and think about what is happening carefully.

Zelenskyy is in a crisis moment within the Russia conflict.  Ukraine is getting pummeled by Russia’s fast-moving and highly accurate drones and missiles.  Yet, at this moment of consequence, Volodymyr Zelenskyy finds the time to travel to the U.K. and give long interviews with pro-Ukraine media outlets.

What exactly is the priority here? ….

Zelenskyy is fighting a narrative war. That’s why the term World War Reddit applies.

It is transparently obvious what is going on. Zelenskyy has one primary demand, more money. That’s it. The rest is positioning and false presentations of patriotism. The “defense of Ukraine” narrative is not about defending Ukraine in the traditional sense; it’s about using the defense of Ukraine to get money.

Five Days Ago we wrote this on X: “We have been watching everything for many years. Your next move will be for Ukraine intelligence, which we all know is EU-NATO intelligence, to launch a kinetic operation against your own energy infrastructure. You will then blame Russia, and your EU-NATO enablers will cite that example in opposition to President Trump. We can see you.“

In the last four days, exactly this predicted situation has been unfolding.

To enhance the sympathetic narrative, Zelenskyy then claims the USA is no longer providing early warning intelligence or permitting Ukraine to launch offensive military strike operations using Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite communications.  Again, more nonsense.

“It is a violation of commercial Starlink terms of service to use the terminal for weapon systems. This applies to all users and is shut down when discovered. There is a separate network called Starshield, which is operated by the US government. This is not under SpaceX control.” ~ Elon Musk, March 2026

President Trump, Secretary Rubio and even Elon Musk have had enough. However, from a perspective of money all U.S. and EU interests position sympathy for Ukraine through the same self-interest prism.

Secretary Rubio was correct when at his brutally honest moment in February 2025 he said, “Ukraine is a proxy war between the United States and Russia”, and the Trump administration had no interest in maintaining this proxy war of foolishness built upon a foundation of grift, fraud and financial self-interest.

That was and remains the non-pretending reality. Western influence agents, led by the United States (before Trump) created this mess. There is a painful Gordian knot that needs to be cut in order to end this madness. President Trump is now pushing back against the entirety of the false Ukraine constructs. I hope he succeeds because this has been going on far too long.

TRUTH SOCIAL 2025 – “Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle.

The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.”

He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..

October 15, 2026 – Former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testimony at Trump’s impeachment, conflicts with newly declassified documents

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testifies before the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill Friday, Nov. 15, 2019, during Donald Trump’s first impeachment hearing. (Credit: Andrew Harnik/AP)

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, one of the Democrats’ star witnesses in their first impeachment of Donald Trump, received repeated briefings, emails and memos related to the Ukrainian energy company that employed Hunter Biden, according to declassified documents that directly conflict with her and other witnesses’ testimony in the failed bid seven years ago to remove the president from office.

The documents released Friday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force show Yovanovitch and her aides were apprised of corruption concerns about Burisma Holdings, efforts by the company to repair its image or curry U.S. favor that would not “pass The Washington Post sniff test” and even a bid to get the Trump administration to approve a U.S. visa for Burisma’s controversial owner Mykola Zlochevsky, who was banned from American travel.

The memos provide a stark contrast to Yovanovitch’s testimony that the Biden-Burisma matter “just wasn’t a big deal” during her tenure as ambassador, and that she wasn’t briefed by staff on the issues surrounding Joe Biden’s son except for an initial briefing book during her 2016 Senate confirmation and what she read in the news media.

Yovanovitch and her top aides engaged in dozens of communications between 2016 and 2019 about Burisma, Hunter Biden, Zlochevsky and efforts by their legal defense teams and lobbyists to make investigations go away or curry favor for a company the State Department deemed to be corrupt, according to the documents the task force released, and additional memos obtained by Just the News under open records litigation.

A newly declassified email between Yovanovitch and her top deputy in Kyiv, George Kent, also directly challenges the primary argument Democrats made at the late 2019 House impeachment, namely that Hunter Biden’s relationship with Burisma had no impact on U.S. policy, and therefore it was wrong for Trump to seek investigations into the Burisma scandal.

“The real issue to my mind was that someone in Washington needed to engage VP Biden quietly and say that his son Hunter’s presence on the Burisma board undercut the anti-corruption message the VP and we were advancing in Ukraine b/c Ukrainians heard one message from us and then saw another set of behavior with the family association with a known corrupt figure whose company was known for not playing by the rules,” Kent wrote to Yovanovitch on Nov. 22, 2016.

Just the News first reported on that email while it was still classified, but the White House has now declassified it.

You can read all the documents below:

Loading Viewer...

A previously CLASSIFIED email from top U.S. diplomat George Kent to Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch has just been released — and it changes EVERYTHING about the 2019 impeachment.

Kent warned that Joe Biden needed to be quietly told that his son Hunter’s board seat at Burisma was ACTIVELY UNDERMINING America’s anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine. Ukrainians were hearing one message from the U.S. government… and watching the Biden family do the exact opposite with a known corrupt company.

This document directly contradicts what the impeachment team told the American people.

They said Hunter’s role had zero impact on U.S. policy.

The internal records say otherwise.

THIS IS TREASON AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

The people who hid this, the officials who testified under oath, and everyone who pushed the narrative while knowing the truth — they sold out America’s interests for political protection.
No more excuses. No more “no impact.” The paper trail is now public.

October 16, 2026 – DOJ files statement of interest in Michigan trial court to prevent AG Jocelyn Benson from deleting federal election records

MI Sec of State and Democrat candidate for Governor, Jocelyn Benson

Statements of Interest from the Justice Department in pure state-court cases are rare. It is even rarer for DOJ to intervene at the trial-court level rather than on appeal. It is rare for the department to appear in a state trial court at all. The only recent election example is a 2022 Wisconsin circuit court case over absentee ballot witness addresses.

The filing lands in the middle of Bridgewater Township Clerk Michelle McQueer’s lawsuit challenging Benson’s rule that forces clerks to delete electronic poll book files just seven days after an election is certified.

Attorney Kevin Kijewski, who represents McQueer, explained the significance:

“The United States enforces the voting records law, so when it tells the court what the law requires, that matters. It said poll book data, including all metadata, are federal election records and that the Secretary of State is responsible for preserving them. That’s exactly what Michelle McQueer has been saying since October of last year, when she first asked the Secretary which law to follow and got no answer.”

Kijewski added a critical caveat about timing:

“The government’s statement was written from the Secretary’s September 30 ruling. The day before it was filed, the Secretary’s own data manager swore in an affidavit filed with the court that the list of voters each precinct used on election day is never copied into the state database. So the facts the government was asked to assume aren’t the facts anymore. The judge has the affidavit. He’ll decide.”

The Justice Department also said that if the Secretary’s factual claims were accurate and all poll book data were uploaded and preserved, it would not prioritize prosecuting clerks who deleted files under the rule. That is the condition Kijewski says the new affidavit now contradicts.

On the DOJ’s decision to enter the case, Kijewski said:

“We didn’t invite anyone in, and we didn’t oppose anyone coming in. This is a clerk asking a judge a simple question. When a state rule says delete, and a federal law says keep, which one does she follow? Anyone who wants to help the court answer that is welcome.”

Attorney Kevin Kijewski, who represents McQueer, explained the significance:

Rob exposes Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s past statements admitting election machines can be hacked and her undercover work for the FBI with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), while the Department of Justice (DOJ) steps into Michigan court over deleted election records and New Hampshire takes its voter ID battle all the way to SCOTUS.

⚡ TLDR: If You Only Read One Thing

• Unearthed Benson Video: 2009 footage catches Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson admitting electronic voting machines can be hacked, infected with untraceable viruses, and alter election outcomes.

• FBI Informant Reveal: Benson previously claimed she worked undercover for the FBI alongside the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which is currently facing fraud and federal indictment allegations.

• DOJ Involves Itself in Michigan: The DOJ files a statement of interest in state court, arguing that electronic poll book data are federal election records that Benson must preserve for 22 months under federal law.

• Data Center Hypocrisy: Candidate John James calls out Benson’s anti-data-center posture while her husband works as a high-paid data center lobbyist.

• SCOTUS Emergency Filing: New Hampshire AG files an emergency application with the Supreme Court after a federal judge blocked the state’s student ID voting restriction just weeks before the midterms.

Federal Records Deletion Lawsuit (McQueer v. Benson)

  • Bridgewater Township Clerk Michelle McQueer sued Benson over conflicting state guidance instructing clerks to delete electronic poll book data after 7 days, despite federal law requiring 22 months of retention.
  • Attorney Kevin Kijewski filed an amended motion for summary disposition showing that uploaded summary reports do not capture precise timestamps, user IDs, or full precinct roll flags contained in raw poll book files.
  • The DOJ filed a rare Statement of Interest in Michigan Court of Claims confirming that electronic poll book data and metadata constitute federal election records under 52 U.S.C. § 20701.
  • State data manager Rachel Clone admitted in an affidavit that the exact voter list used on Election Day at the precinct level is not saved in the state’s central voter database.
  • Attorney Kevin Kijewski’s Case Update
  • Gateway Pundit Report on DOJ Intervention

🎤 Rob’s Rants

Jocelyn Benson’s Hypocrisy on Hacking –

“When she’s running back in 2009, she’s out there explaining that electronic voting machines can be hacked, viruses can be released, and it’s completely untraceable! But the moment someone questions an election where her party wins? Oh, suddenly you’re a dangerous conspiracy theorist and Dana Nessel wants to prosecute you! The double standard is completely unreal.”

Getting Around the Law –

“She literally admits on camera that the great thing about the law is that it leaves things up to ‘interpretation’ by administrators so you can ‘get around’ current statutes. That isn’t administering the law—that’s perverting the law to benefit your political party!”

📄 Document Dumps

  • McQueer Amended Motion for Summary Disposition: Files detailed comparison showing raw electronic poll book logs contain timestamps, user IDs, and precinct flags missing from summary uploads.
  • DOJ Statement of Interest: Rare intervention by federal prosecutors in Michigan Court of Claims.
    • Key findings: Affirms electronic poll book metadata and raw files are federal election records that must be preserved.
  • New Hampshire SCOTUS Stay Application (26A512): Emergency petition challenging district court injunction on student ID bans.
    • Key findings: Lower court violated the Purcell principle by altering voter ID rules 32 days prior to election day.
    • Link: SCOTUS Docket 26A512

⚖️ Legal Analysis Breakdown

Case/Issue: McQueer v. Benson (Michigan Court of Claims)

  • Core argument: Town clerk Michelle McQueer argues that Secretary Benson’s directive to delete electronic poll book data after 7 days forces clerks to commit a federal felony under 52 U.S.C. § 20701, which mandates a 22-month retention period for all election records.
  • Significance: Establishes whether raw digital files and metadata from precinct poll books constitute primary election records that cannot be erased or substituted with partial summary uploads.
  • Rob’s take: Federal supremacy clause overwrites state administrative rules. Benson cannot order state clerks to destroy digital evidence under the guise of saving disk space or preventing duplicates.

October 17, 2026 – France is burning…and the architecture underneath Brussels is beginning to buckle

France is burning… and the architecture underneath Brussels is beginning to buckle…

I’ve been mapping France’s financial deterioration, its expanding protest networks, the pressure building across European sovereign debt markets, and the political fragmentation accelerating beneath Macron…

Today those converging forces have reached another threshold, with hundreds of thousands flooding the streets and the historic Limoges town hall engulfed in flames…

Remember the 50-organization network I exposed in earlier writings… only 15 identified by Fox were student or youth groups, while the remaining 35 included unions, communist and socialist organizations, political parties and international amplifiers…

The machinery surrounding this uprising extends well beyond its original student grievances, bringing established mobilization networks into an increasingly volatile environment…

Now overlay France’s €3.5 trillion debt burden, borrowing costs approaching 5%, growing pressure for austerity, political paralysis and the approaching 2027 elections…

The financial system demands restraint precisely when the population is demanding relief, creating a reinforcing cycle that progressively destroys the government’s room to maneuver…

This is where my broader European mapping becomes increasingly relevant… France is a central pillar of the European project, and its instability creates consequences extending through Brussels, the eurozone banking system, sovereign bond markets and the political relationships holding the continental architecture together. Similar unrest is already emerging beyond France…

The deeper fracture is one of sovereignty… who ultimately controls a nation’s economic future when its elected government, its creditors, its citizens and supranational institutions are pulling in different directions?

I’ve been mapping the pressure building around Europe for weeks… France is now demonstrating what happens when those pressures converge and begin feeding upon themselves…

The fire is visible… the structural fracture underneath it is where the real story begins…

Welp here you go 🚨 The same Democrat NGO network that funds mass protests in America is supporting the protests in France

This is PROOF what’s happening in France is coming to America next if Democrats regain power

The Party for Socialism and Liberation, which is a Pro-Democrat Socialist NGO who’s been involved in essentially every mass protest in America is making videos supporting the riots in France

This is a global coordinated takeover. It’s the same Leftists groups uniting with Islamists all involved and working together manufacturing protests in western countries to bring down western civilization

I knew as soon as I saw the riots in France the mass protest groups in America would be making videos supporting them, and I was right

They’re all working together

“American communist in Shanghai pumped $278 million into a US network amplifying France’s protests”
