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

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

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

Cc: @POTUS @DeptofWar @SecWar @PeteHegseth

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

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

See archived article here.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An ordinary woman would have backed down in fear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There are so many others like Caputo who deserve accountability.

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

Walter Giardina (Credit: public domain)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now: researcher dead after questioning + UM union tells spies: DON’T cooperate.

Infestation. Taxpayer-funded treason. Shut it down. #UMich #ChinaThreat

March 24, 2026 – Chuck Grassley releases Arctic Frost records; reveals Judges Boasberg and Beryl Howell worked with Jack Smith to prosecute Trump

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today delivered remarks at a Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Arctic Frost, Jack Smith’s failed election case against President Trump that began at the Biden Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Grassley additionally made public new Arctic Frost records provided by the Department of Justice and Verizon, including two of Smith’s subpoenas for now-FBI Director Kash Patel’s phone records. Grassley released the documents alongside Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action and Federal Rights.

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

Senator Eric Schmitt (Credit: public domain)

We just won Missouri v. Biden.

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

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

Missouri struck first—and Missouri won big.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The process.

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

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

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

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

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

The HPSCI has voted to release the Atkinson Transcript.

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

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

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

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

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

Speaking of “problems that are not real…”

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

Or was that a different Mark Warner?

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

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

The real question is this Senator:

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

Did you participate in a coup and treason?

Are you an enemy combatant?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

March 26, 2026 – The geopolitics behind Iran and beyond

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

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

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

1st was Europe, which laid the groundwork.

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

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

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

2nd was Syria.

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

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

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

3rd was Venezuela.

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

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

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

4th is Iran & the Middle East energy shock.

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

The only remaining scaled supplier? The United States.

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

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

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

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

But the US grand strategy goes deeper..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The US is seizing all 3.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The approval has triggered a political shockwave in Brussels.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

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

KEY TAKEAWAYS

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

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

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

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

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

• The Washington Post was seeking confirmation of FBI outreach to witnesses in “Trump’s orbit” months before the August 8, 2022 search, and the WFO Public Affairs Officer documented the inquiry in the case file. A May 12, 2022 Import Form documents that the WFO Public Affairs Officer received a call from The Washington Post seeking confirmation that DOJ had issued subpoenas to NARA and that the FBI had begun reaching out to and/or interviewing individuals in Trump’s orbit related to the investigation. The officer provided no comment. [pp. 86–87 of 212]

• CD Assistant Director Alan E. Kohler Jr. sent an all-hands email to Counterintelligence Division staff the day after the search, defending the investigation and stating it was conducted by the book in the most professional manner possible. Kohler’s August 10, 2022 email acknowledged erroneous press reporting but stated agents were prevented by DOJ and FBI policy from sharing investigative details, and that he vowed not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The email was forwarded into the PLASMIC ECHO case file the next day.

• Director Wray sent a bureau-wide email the day after the search stating the FBI does not cut corners and does not play favorites, while the WFO’s own internal documents show field agents had formally disputed the probable cause basis for the search. Director Wray’s August 11, 2022 bureau-wide message—filed into the PLASMIC ECHO case file—stated the investigative steps taken were measured and scrupulously consistent with national security obligations. This was sent the day after WFO’s internal emails documenting its disagreement with DOJ over probable cause had already been filed into the same case record.

March 31, 2026 – Former CO Secretary of State Jena Griswold turned a state office into America’s prototype for centralized election control

The Colorado Coup You Never Heard Of: How Jena Griswold Turned a State Office into America’s Prototype for Centralized Election Control

GPS—when @TheJusticeDept is ready to proceed, reach out!

Follow the money, especially focusing on family members assisting in hiding Griswold’s alleged nefarious assets.

Free Tina Peters! @realtinapeters

Jena Griswold’s tenure as Colorado Secretary of State marks one of the clearest state‑level examples of how bureaucratic offices can be captured by national political networks under the rhetoric of “protecting democracy.”

Her initial campaigns were overwhelmingly financed by Washington‑based super PACs such as Emily’s List, End Citizens United, and the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State—an early warning that outside capital was buying influence over a state‑administered system.

Once elected, she centralized power by rewriting election procedures through emergency rules, purging career nonpartisan staff, and funneling nearly every significant contract through a single vendor: Dominion Voting Systems. She paired this consolidation with information control, branding any attempt at independent auditing or public data access as “disinformation.”

Behind the scenes, the same organizations that funded her campaigns built an interlocking structure—from legal activists to media gatekeepers—that kept the office ideologically synchronized with national agendas. Marc Elias’s Law Group and think‑tanks such as the Brennan Center produced legal templates later mirrored in Griswold’s rule‑makings.

Simultaneously, her communications team worked hand‑in‑glove with friendly outlets to portray critics as extremists, while friendly nonprofits flooded the public narrative space with “fact‑checking” pieces that repeated SoS talking points verbatim. The result was not mere partisanship but a closed information loop designed to shrink public oversight.

Financially, Colorado’s election apparatus evolved into a self‑funding ecosystem. Private capital flowed from mega‑foundations through dark‑money conduits like the New Venture Fund and Sixteen Thirty Fund into “local civic groups,” which then received state contracts or grants to implement programs that those same donors demanded.

Taxpayer dollars amplified these investments through matching state funds, while contractors such as Dominion and Google‑linked cloud services recycled profits back to consultant firms and PACs allied with the donors. Each cycle, the donors showcased these “successful reforms” to justify another round of funding, transforming democracy advocacy into a perpetual revenue machine.

The cumulative effect has been the quiet conversion of a ministerial state office into a politically networked command post: laws rewritten by decree, transparency reclassified as a threat, and independent audits criminalized. Electoral integrity was replaced by narrative control. Reversing such capture would require strict bans on private grants to election offices, full open‑source publication of voting software, and public‑ledger accounting of every vendor and subcontractor connected to the Secretary of State.

April 1, 2026 – Trump transitions Pam Bondi out of the Attorney General position, Blanche to be acting AG

Update (1315ET): President Donald Trump has ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi, multiple outlets report. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is serving as acting AG in the interim.

The move comes amid White House frustration with Bondi’s leadership at the Justice Department –  particularly her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and what Trump viewed as insufficient aggression in targeting his political opponents. Trump had privately discussed firing her and floated EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin (or Blanche) as a possible replacement.

Bondi met with Trump in the Oval Office Wednesday night ahead of his speech to the nation on the war in Iran, where she reportedly was informed of her ouster, according to two sources familiar with the meeting. 

One of those sources said that by the time Trump took his place behind the podium for the address, Bondi already lost her job and was on her way back to Florida. –Fox News

And according to the WSJ, Trump weighed firing her in January but was persuaded not to do so. 

In a Thursday statement, Trump called Bondi “a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,” adding “she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General.”

UPDATE 4/3/2026

Trump confirms Pam Bondi is moving to a new position.

Now, all the Bondi haters are going to celebrate, and claim she is the reason xyz hasn’t happened yet. This could not be further than the truth. She did exactly what Trump instructed her to do, and Trump confirms that they “love Pam”, and she did a “tremendous job” bringing down crime to new lows.

However, the Bondi haters will ignore all the things Trump just said here, and push their own agenda. Unfortunately for these people, now they will have to find a new punching bag to blame everything on.

In reality, we are on Trump’s timeline, and things will happen when the time is right, regardless of who Trump has as AG at the time.

March 31, 2026 – RUBIO: If US can’t use European bases, NATO is a one-way street

Secretary Rubio called NATO a “one-way street,” reiterating that the United States will now have to reexamine its alliance:

“We are going to have to reexamine whether this alliance that has served our country well for so long is still serving that purpose—or has it now become a one-way street?

Right now, it seems like America is simply in the position of defending Europe, but when we need the help of our allies, they deny us basing rights and overflight permissions.

If we’ve reached the point where being in NATO means we can no longer use those bases to defend America’s interests, then NATO has truly become a one-way street.

It ends up meaning we have troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need them—just to allow us to use their military bases—their answer is no.

So why are we even in NATO? You have to ask that question.

Why have we spent hundreds of billions—trillions—of dollars over the years, and kept all these American forces stationed in the region, if in our time of need we’re not going to be allowed to use those bases?

There’s no doubt that, once this conflict is over, we’re going to have to reexamine that relationship.

We’re going to have to take a hard look at the value of NATO and this alliance for our country.

Ultimately, that’s a decision for the president to make—and he’ll have to make it.”

Trump has been hammering away on a new message. Have you caught on yet?

Today was a masterclass by Trump, and that’s because he continued to hammer this message into the minds of the world.

A few weeks ago Trump said the following to 90 million Iranians during the initial strikes on Iran:

“When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.”

Take.

“Now is the time to seize control of your destiny… This is the moment for action.”

Action.

Take action.

Today he told the UK: “Build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. Go get your own oil.”

See the theme? It’s agency.

To the Iranians under the mullahs: Take it. Seize it. You need to have agency.

To the UK sitting out the fight: Take it. Take your oil. You need to have agency.

Trump is ending the era where the world relies on America as if America is their parent.

Trump is using the Iran war as the mechanism to sever the world from America.

Even tonight in the Oval Office Trump said other countries need to fend for themselves.

Expect Trump to continue hammering this agency message home over the next few weeks.

And make sure to watch for his use of the word “take”. You might lose count.

April 1, 2026 – Inside Gavin Newsom’s empire of fraud

The pattern that emerges in California is that of a vast system that almost seems to invite fraud.

California is a cash machine.

The state collects some of the country’s highest income, business, and fuel taxes, and now spends more than $300 billion per year.

And yet, everywhere you look, California seems to be falling apart.

(…) We conducted interviews with public officials, fraud experts, and political figures, and reviewed hundreds of pages of government reports, state audits, criminal indictments, and other public records on California fraud.

Seemingly every state program has been compromised by criminals.

The best estimates suggest that, on the governor’s watch, fraudsters, scammers, and organized crime rings have stolen at least $180 billion from taxpayers.

Welcome to Gavin Newsom’s empire of fraud.

Fourteen months after Newsom began his first term as governor, the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world. The state’s leaders imposed some of the country’s most restrictive public-health measures. In response to the crisis, Newsom sought to dump pallets of cash across the state — as quickly as possible.

One way to inject money was through California’s massive unemployment insurance program (UI). Unemployment insurance is administered by the state’s Employment Development Department (EDD), which can process billions of dollars in payments monthly. Before the state turned on the cash machine, however, experts had warned that the system was ripe for fraud.

Haywood Talcove, one of America’s leading fraud specialists and CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions for Government, said: “I was begging [federal officials] not to let the money go out like that, because it was going to be the biggest fraud in the history of our country. Obviously, I wasn’t successful.”

For many reasons, California was particularly susceptible to the large-scale fraud schemes that Talcove foresaw.

“They literally suspended all of the rules for the [unemployment insurance] program,” Talcove said. “[That made] it possible for anyone to get that benefit even if they weren’t entitled to it. It was very intentional. They knew what they were doing. But it caught up to them because it just got so out of control.”

The scams began almost immediately, with criminals from around the world reportedly siphoning cash from the program. In one case, a Romanian-led fraud ring orchestrated a $5 million unemployment-insurance scheme. Many of the fraudsters wired the stolen funds to Romania.

Around September 2020, Fontrell Antonio Baines, a rapper from Memphis known as Nuke Bizzle, released a music video on YouTube entitled “EDD.” In the song, Baines bragged about ripping off California’s UI program. “Go to the bank with a stack of these,” Baines rapped, holding up EDD envelopes. Another rapper can be heard saying: “You gotta sell cocaine, I just file a claim.” All told, Baines obtained more than $700,000 in stolen funds using preloaded EDD debit cards. He pleaded guilty to federal charges.

California’s prison population apparently got in on the action, too: The EDD allegedly paid out hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent claims in prisoners’ names, including those of at least 133 inmates on death row.

Remarkably, EDD not only failed regularly to cross-reference its unemployment payouts with a list of state prisoners, but it also had just two bureaucrats assigned manually to inspect reports of suspected fraud.

State officials eventually admitted to having paid out approximately $20 billion in fraudulent claims during the pandemic, and to making an estimated $55 billion in improper payments. Talcove claims those figures don’t even tell the full story: “In California, at one point, you had more people applying for unemployment insurance benefits than you had people over the age of 18.”

While Newsom has conceded that “bad actors” took advantage of the UI program, he has also defended his government’s record, saying they took swift action as soon as the alleged prison scheme surfaced. The EDD, for its part, has a webpage documenting its anti-fraud efforts. But any suggestion that California has fraud under wraps is contradicted by findings from its nonpartisan state auditor.

April 2, 2026 – A librarian in TN is fired for refusing to remove pornographic LGBTQ+ books from children’s section

April 2, 2026 – Democrat fundraising juggernaut ActBlue likely lied to Congress about foreign donations

In early 2025, the law firm, Covington & Burling out of Washington DC, raised legal concerns that ActBlue’s CEO lied to GOP investigators in a 2023 letter explaining how the organization vetted donations to ensure that they were not illegally coming from foreign citizens.

This shocking development was published in The New York Times this week.

Laura Ingraham and Chip Roy discussed this latest ActBlue scandal on Thursday night.

(…) The colloquial term used to describe this alleged operation is “smurfing.”  Peter Bernegger, Chris Gleason, Phil Allison, and their team discovered this suspected campaign money laundering operation and went public with it in 2023 when James O’Keefe’s OMG published videos interviewing suspected victims of this scheme.

(…) On Friday, Bernegger joined the Why We Vote podcast to discuss the recent reports that have come out of Congress via Rep. Bryan Steil and Rep. Jim Jordan.  According to subpoenaed records from ActBlue, Just The News reported that ActBlue updated its policy on Sept 9th to “automatically reject donations that use foreign prepaid/gift cards, domestic gift cards, are from high-risk/sanctioned countries, and have the highest level of risk as determined,” by its solution provider, Sift.

Bernegger had several crucial updates regarding their own investigation into this money-laundering scheme regarding an automated process to make the donations, why ActBlue’s policy update likely won’t have any impact on any accounts established before the change, and whether or not the incoming Trump administration will engage in this investigation.

New Smurf Evidence

Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) has allegedly benefitted from ActBlue “Smurfing” operations, including 12 donors responsible for identical contributions totalling over $2.4 million

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) raised approximately $30.9 million in her 2018 campaign.  Her 2024 campaign, however, trounced that number, nearly doubling it to $59.6 million.  From July 25, 2024 to September 30, 2024, she raised $11 million with $9.4 million coming from individual ‘donors,’ according to WPR.

By comparison, her opponent, Eric Hovde, raised just $29.3 million with $20 million of that being a personal loan he made to his campaign.  In that same July to September timeframe, Hovde raised $2.8 million from individual donors.

Using state and federal government data, Bernegger has publicly accused Baldwin of benefiting from the illegal smurfing operation.  According to his data and investigation, Baldwin has received $27,850,750 via the smurfing operation since 2017, including 69,433 donations since 2017 from a single donor, “Sonia.”  “Sonia” lives in an assisted living facility, but that didn’t stop her from allegedly donating 7.5 times per day, every single day, for 7.5 years.

UPDATE: 4/4/2026

New York Times:

In early 2025, a law firm working for ActBlue, the Democratic fund-raising behemoth, delivered the organization a startling warning.

The firm concluded that ActBlue’s chief executive had given a potentially misleading response to congressional Republican investigators in a 2023 letter explaining how the organization vetted donations to ensure that they were not illegally coming from foreign citizens.

The letter from the chief executive, Regina Wallace-Jones, said ActBlue carried out “multilayered” screenings of contributions that helped “root out” those from overseas. In fact, the law firm found, some of the steps she had described were not always followed.

So, ActBlue lied to Congress. That’s a federal crime.

But then the piece gets even more gloomy for ActBlue. Apparently, the lawyers reportedly warned ActBlue that the situation carried real legal risk, including the possibility that prosecutors could see this as something knowing and willful, hence the “federal crime” stuff.

NYT:

This presents a substantial risk for ActBlue,” the law firm, Covington & Burling, wrote in one of two memos expressing legal concerns. One memo raised the specter of a criminal investigation if prosecutors believed that ActBlue had tried to conceal facts about its efforts to prevent foreign contributions.

This is where the NYT softball stuff starts to crumble. ActBlue knew this was a powder keg. They were warned.

The memos raised the possibility that foreign money may have gotten through and that staff knew the safeguards were not as strong as they needed to be.

NYT:

It can be alleged that ActBlue accepted and/or facilitated the acceptance of foreign-national contributions into American elections,” one memo states. “In addition, because ActBlue’s staff was aware that its system was not as robust as necessary, it could be alleged that these violations were ‘knowing and willful,’ a standard that both increases the penalties the F.E.C. might seek and gives the Justice Department jurisdiction for a potential criminal investigation.

That right there is devastating. We’re now looking at some very real fraud.

April 2, 2026 – Today marks the one year anniversary of America’s Liberation Day

(Credit: video clipping)

“One year ago today, President Trump threw away the illusions of ‘free trade’ to finally put Americans and America First. The results since Liberation Day have been astonishing: over 20 new trade deals, trillions in manufacturing investments, lower drug prices, and lower goods trade deficits. And this is just the beginning of the President’s transformation of global trade: as these investment and trade deals continue taking effect, and more get signed, Americans can count on the best being yet to come.”
— White House spokesman Kush Desai

As America marks one full year since Liberation Day, the U.S. economy stands more resilient, more competitive, and more secure than it did just 12 months ago. President Trump’s tariffs have protected American workers, generated substantial new revenue, encouraged fairer trade deals, and accelerated the return of manufacturing to U.S. soil.

The results of President Trump’s America First trade policy are unmistakable:

  • Narrowing Trade Deficits: The U.S. goods trade deficit has fallen 24% from April 2025 through February 2026 compared to the same period a year earlier, and has decreased every single month on a year-over-year basis since Liberation Day.
  • Rebalancing Global Trade: U.S. bilateral trade balances in goods have improved more than 63% of our trading partners since Liberation Day.
    • The U.S. goods trade deficit with China has gone down by 32% over the past year, and 46% from April 2025 through January 2026. For the first time since 2000, China is no longer the trading partner with which the United States has its largest trade deficit.
    • The U.S. goods trade deficit with the European Union has gone down by nearly 40% from April 2025 through January 2026, compared to a year earlier.
    • The U.S. has even started to run a goods surplus with Switzerland for the first time since 2012.
  • Foreigners Producers Are Bearing the Cost: After Liberation Day, according to a Bank of England study, the average price of exports to the U.S. fell, but the average price of exports to other countries did not. This is one indication that foreigners are ultimately paying for a share of the tariffs by lowering export prices.
  • Securing Fair, America First Trade Deals: The Trump Administration has secured more than 20 new trade agreements with major partners including the EU, Japan, India, Vietnam, and Argentina.
    • These deals cover over half of global GDP, tear down non-tariff barriers, and open new markets for U.S. agriculture, energy, and industrial goods, with partners like Japan and the EU aligning with U.S. auto standards.
  • Driving a Resurgence in American Manufacturing: Trillions in private and foreign investments are fueling a historic reshoring of American industry, bring jobs, production, and supply chains back home.
    • Investments span sectors and companies across the economy — from Apple to Toyota to Sharpie to Micron to Pfizer.
    • Shipments of core capital goods—a leading indicator of new industrial capacity—reached new record highs in 2025. Capital goods imports as a share of all goods imports are at an all-time record high.
  • Manufacturing Activity is Rebounding: In January 2026, a leading indicator based on surveys of U.S. manufacturers signaled that factory activity expanded for the first time in over two years. This trend has continued in February and March.  These are the highest readings since August 2022.
    • The industrial production index is at its highest level since 2019, and has been on an upward trend since President Trump was elected in November 2024.
    • In 2025, the United States surpassed Japan in crude steel production for the first time since 1999, becoming the world’s third-largest steel producer behind China and India.
    • Manufacturing productivity registered its biggest annual increase in 2025 in nearly two decades.
  • American Workers Are Benefiting: Private sector workers have seen strong real wage gains of more than $1,400 in just one year, decisively beating inflation. Blue-collar workers have benefited the most, with manufacturing wages up $1,800, construction wages up $3,000, and mining and logging wages up $1,900.
    • In just one year under President Trump, blue-collar workers have made up all of the wages they lost under Biden.
    • Under Biden, workers’ real wages couldn’t keep up with inflation – causing American workers to lose nearly $3,000 in purchasing power.

These strong results prove that President Trump’s America First trade policies are making our country wealthy, strong, and respected once again. As more agreements take effect and investment continues to surge, one thing is clear: America’s best days are still ahead.

April 3, 2026 – The FBI files a motion to quash discovery requests in the Seth Rich case

Today the FBI filed a motion to quash our discovery requests in the Seth Rich case (i.e., Huddleston v. FBI), and it’s a real cheap shot. The FBI tried to frame it as if we were ignoring previous court orders denying discovery about Seth Rich, but our discovery requests were not targeted at Seth Rich. Instead, they were targeted at the FBI’s overall pattern of hiding documents from FOIA requestors. That distinction is critical, and the FBI knows it.

True enough, discovery is typically not allowed in a FOIA case. We’ve never disputed that. But Huddleston v. FBI is not just a standard FOIA case. In 2024, the presiding judge allowed us to file a supplemental complaint, and that complaint had nothing to do with Seth Rich or any other particular FOIA request. Instead, we asked the court to enjoin the FBI from hiding records from FOIA requestors via various schemes and tricks set forth in the supplemental complaint. I’ll file a response to the FBI’s motion, and hopefully this case will start moving faster.

On another front, the court largely denied our motion to hold the FBI in contempt for violating its orders to produce records from Seth Rich’s laptops. Instead, the court gave the feds 60 days to explain why they did not produce or account for all of the data on the laptops. That was a disappointing result, but the battle is not over.

If you want to know more about what the FBI is trying to hide, you can look at the supplemental complaint, the discovery requests, and the FBI’s motion (links below). I’ve also posted a link to the court’s order denying our motion to hold the FBI in contempt.

April 4, 2026 – Peter Schweizer: Mexican legislators reside in the US while serving in Mexico’s Congress; official role is to represent Mexican Americans

Peter Schweizer highlights a troubling arrangement: some Mexican legislators actually reside in the United States while serving in Mexico’s Congress, including the Senate and Chamber of Deputies.

Their official role is to represent Mexican Americans living in the U.S. to the Mexican government—meaning they live in American states (like Arizona) but draft and vote on Mexican laws.

Schweizer frames this as a major breach of U.S. sovereignty, since these politicians—working for a foreign nation—operate from within the U.S. while advancing Mexico’s national interests. Mexican officials have even described the Mexican diaspora in America as a “strategic resource” to be leveraged for Mexico’s benefit.

In short:

• Mexican senators and deputies live in the U.S.
• They legislate for Mexico while focusing on
Mexican Americans.
• The Mexican government views its population in
the U.S. as a political asset.
• Critics see it as a foreign government footprint
inside the United States.

Why are current Mexican politicians living in the U.S.?

And to make the situation even weirder, their job is focusing on legislation for Mexican Americans, says Peter Schweizer. He calls it a massive intrusion on U.S. sovereignty.

“This bizarre situation, where in the Mexican Senate and in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, which is their Congress, you have representatives that live in the United States.”

“Their job is to represent Mexican Americans that live in the United States before the Mexican government.”

“So you have a Mexican senator who lives in Arizona, representing Mexican Americans in Arizona, who is in the Mexican Senate, introducing legislation, voting on bills, advising the government how to help Mexican Americans in the country.”

“They talk about the Mexican diaspora in the United States as a ‘strategic resource’ that can be used for the benefit of the Mexican government.”

“To me, it’s shocking.” ☠️

April 5, 2026 – Saudi Prince reveals Obama’s sanctions relief deal lifts Iran’s $150 billion in frozen assets (and pallets of cash), yet they did not build a single street

This past week, Saudi Prince Mohammad bin Salman revealed that President Obama gave Iran $150 billion when Obama was in office, and the regime did not even build a single street with that money.

Instead, they used the money to make missiles and drones and to fortify their proxy armies in the region like Hamas, Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah. With these funds, Iran offers a safe harbor to the leaders of Al Qaeda, including one of Osama Bin Laden’s sons, who was indoctrinated into jihadism.

Saudi Prince MbS reveals that President Obama gave Iran $150B, and the IRGC didn’t even build a single street with that money.

Instead, they used the money to make missiles and drones. And on top of that, they also used the funds Obama provided them to finance and arm terrorists like Hamas, Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah. With these funds, Iran offers safe harbor to the leaders of Al Qaeda, including one of Osama Bin Laden’s sons who was indoctrinated into jihadism.

Obama is by far the worst man to ever set foot in the Oval Office. The neoliberals like Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, etc. who ran his administration did so deliberately in order to keep the region destabilized and to use Iran as a buffer to prevent the Gulf states and Israel from amassing too much prosperity.

Middle East 24 reported:

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman delivered one of his most direct public assessments of the Iranian regime, describing it as a purely ideological project with no interest in serving its own people and every interest in funding terrorism and destabilizing the region.

His evidence was concrete. Iran received $150 billion in sanctions relief yet did not build a single street, residential complex, or industrial facility for its citizens. Every dollar went toward launching missiles at Saudi Arabia and financing terrorist organizations across the world.

MBS went further than most Western leaders have been willing to go publicly, stating directly that Iran’s support for terrorism extends well beyond Hezbollah and the Houthis. He noted that senior Al-Qaeda leaders are residing inside Iran today, including Osama bin Laden’s son, who was raised in Iran and is now positioning himself as the next leader of Al-Qaeda.

The Crown Prince said Saudi Arabia has no ambiguity about these dangers and is actively coordinating with partners on how to address them to keep the Middle East, Europe, and the broader world safe from what he called these destructive ideologies.

The statement represents one of the clearest and most comprehensive public indictments of the Iranian regime from a sitting Arab head of government, delivered at a moment when Iran is simultaneously firing missiles at Saudi territory and running proxy networks from Beirut to Khartoum to Sanaa.

(Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 4/5/2026)  (Archive)

When Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman recently remarked that Iran “didn’t build a single street” with the billions Barack Obama returned to the regime, he wasn’t exaggerating — he was summarizing a decade of Western self-sabotage dressed up as diplomacy.

In 2015, under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Obama administration unfroze over $100–150 billion of Iranian assets and sent $1.7 billion in literal cash transfers to Tehran. The official explanation was that this was Iran’s “own money,” part of a decades-old settlement from the Shah’s era. In reality, it became the single greatest funding injection ever received by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — a military and intelligence octopus already controlling the nation’s economy through shell corporations and terror-aligned front groups.

Within months of the payout, Iran funneled hundreds of millions to Hezbollah and Hamas, expanded its IRGC Quds Force operations across Syria and Iraq, and increased funding for Yemen’s Houthi insurgency (later responsible for targeting civilian ships in the Red Sea). Iranian officials themselves admitted it: everything from “what we eat and drink” to “our rockets” comes from Tehran’s regime coffers.

While Iranian cities fell further into poverty, the regime’s war machine boomed — drones, ballistic missiles, and oil-smuggling networks began popping up in violation of international sanctions that Obama himself had dismantled. Western elites congratulated themselves on a “historic peace deal” while Tehran armed militias from Lebanon to Sana’a.

And as intelligence later confirmed, Iran served as a covert haven for senior Al Qaeda figures, including Osama bin Laden’s son Hamza, who spent years under the protection of the IRGC before being groomed into jihadist leadership. Washington conveniently ignored this.

🔥 Neoliberal Chaos as a Governing Strategy

The Obama team — Clinton, Nuland, Power, Rhodes — weren’t naïve idealists. They were intentional engineers of disorder. Their strategy was not to stabilize the Middle East, but to strategically destabilize it — just enough to maintain leverage over both allies and adversaries.

By empowering Iran as a “regional counterweight,” they diluted the influence of the Gulf and contained Israeli power under the veneer of “nonproliferation.” But what they actually created was a proliferation of chaos, not of nukes but of dependency: Europe flooded with refugees, North Africa imploded, and militant networks metastasized in the vacuum.

The Arab Spring, romanticized as a democratic awakening, devolved almost immediately into a U.S.-managed implosion — a controlled burn that shattered regional economies and sent millions fleeing toward Europe. That migratory tidal wave destabilized EU politics, broke social cohesion, and imposed irreversible demographic and fiscal stress. If that looks like an accident, you haven’t studied Washington’s history of “accidents.”

🧩 The Pattern Repeats: Ukraine and Beyond

The same ideological playbook reappeared in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and attempts at color revolutions in Georgia and Central Europe. The toolset shifted from armies to NGOs, from bombs to “development aid.”

USAID and its constellation of “civil society” fronts became the soft-gloved hand of the same policy. As independent reports have shown, millions in U.S. taxpayer money have been funneled — often through Western NGOs — into organizations later caught promoting agitation and even associating with militant movements. It’s the same coercive architecture the U.S. used to micromanage the Middle East, now redeployed against Russia’s periphery and Eastern Europe’s populist strongholds.

🕸 The Logic Beneath It All

For the permanent Washington bureaucracy — the neoliberal establishment entrenched in intelligence, media, and the diplomatic corps — peace is a liability and chaos is capital.

A stable Middle East would mean a self-sufficient Eurasia — and that threatens the unipolar financial and geopolitical order sustained by Washington and Brussels since 1945. Iran was never meant to be “contained.” It was meant to be weaponized as a pressure valve, a permanent destabilizer preventing the region from forming independent energy, trade, and defense alliances.

The refugee crises, the proxy wars, the endless “humanitarian interventions” — all are manifestations of a consistent doctrine: weaponize volatility to preserve control.

The Obama administration perfected this formula. Biden’s teams only inherited it. And every Western capital paying the price today — from Paris to Warsaw — is now living amid the debris of Obama-era globalism.

In short: the Iran Deal wasn’t a mistake. It was a design.

A design that traded regional peace for permanent leverage — that armed terrorists under the banner of “diplomacy” and fractured Western civilization under the banner of “human rights.”

If chaos is a ladder, Obama built the first few rungs.

“They called it peace — but it was an investment in permanent war.”
— After-Action memo, CENTCOM analyst (2025)

What began as Obama’s diplomatic victory ended as a $150 billion liquidity bomb that armed tyrants, sent millions fleeing, and handed the 21st century’s most dangerous regime the global keys to chaos.

History will not remember it as diplomacy.

It will remember it as economic warfare against civilization itself.

April 6, 2026 – Virginia prosecutors offer ‘insane’ plea deal to illegal aliens convicted of murder

Prosecutors in Fairfax County, Virginia, offered an “insane” plea deal to two illegal aliens charged in a vicious mob-style murder, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials say.

Last week, the Fairfax County District Attorney’s Office offered a 5-year plea deal to illegal aliens Maldin Anibal Guzman-Videz and Luis Alonzo Sort-Portillo, both of whom were convicted of murdering Nicacio Hernandez Gonzalez in July 2024 at a park in Oakton, Virginia.

“This 5-year sweetheart plea deal for murder is insane,” DHS’s Lauren Bis said:

This is yet another example of Fairfax sanctuary politicians siding with criminal illegal aliens over U.S. citizens. We are calling on Fairfax Country sanctuary politicians and Governor Abigail Spanberger to commit to not releasing these murderers from jail back into our communities. How many more times must they release criminals into our neighborhoods to create more innocent victims? [Emphasis added]

A federal immigration judge ordered Guzman-Videz deported in 2019, but he remained in the United States anyway. He was later arrested for assault, failure to appear, larceny, obstruction of justice, and malicious wounding after he allegedly robbed a Greek family restaurant and assaulted a person with a knife.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) asked Fairfax County officials not to release Guzman-Videz from jail, but he was continuously released back onto the streets.

Meanwhile, Sort-Portillo entered the U.S. as an unknown got-away. (Breitbart News, 4/6/2026)  (Archive)

April 6, 2026 – Eric Swalwell is accused of sexual harassment and rape by former staffers

NEW: Eric Swalwell will soon face s*xual harassment accusations from his former staffers, according to lawyer and activist @CheyenneHuntCA.

Hunt says she is working with multiple women to expose his “pattern of manipulation.”

One woman says Swalwell makes all his interns, whom he has slept with, sign NDAs so they don’t say anything.

“The number of credible women who have come forward since I posted my video is pretty shocking and connecting them with the investigative reporting teams who have been working on breaking this for years has greatly expedited this process,” Hunt said on X.

Swalwell is currently running for governor of California.

Rep. Eric Swalwell denied claims by a former staff member that he had sexually assaulted her, once when she was working for his office and years later when she was no longer an employee. “These anonymous election eve claims are categorically false,” his campaign said. (Credit: Rich Pedroncelli/AP)

April 7, 2026 – A bipartisan Bill is submitted called the “Dignidad Act” masked as amnesty for illegal aliens

Hello Representative Salazar,

You probably don’t even know this… but he word “dignity” in your bill’s title carries decades of political science literature behind it.

Dignity shifted from something that originates within the individual to something engineered from above by institutions. When the UN, NGOs, and multilateral bodies invoke dignity, they mean the replacement of organic, inherited civic bonds with managed, contractual ones administered by a professional class. That is the tradition your bill’s language is drawing from, whether you intend it or not.

On the substance: the DIGNITY Act is amnesty. Symbolic barriers to permanent residency do not change that the bill provides a path to legal status for tens of millions of people who entered the country unlawfully. Others have dissected the policy details thoroughly, so I won’t repeat their work here.

But I want to press a different question. Why the insistence that this isn’t amnesty? The most straightforward explanation is that you know your constituents oppose it. They voted for enforcement, in the most demographically diverse Republican coalition in modern history. That coalition didn’t ask for managed integration. It asked for sovereignty.

The Founding Fathers built a republic from the bottom up, starting with human nature as it actually is: rooted in specific communities. The rules-based international order builds from the top down, starting with an abstract ideal and engineering populations to match it. Your bill, whatever its intentions, belongs to the second tradition, the one that is non-American. It assumes that cohesion can be manufactured through NGO programs… public schools, civic integration, managed assimilation… rather than protected through enforcement of the boundaries that a self-governing people chose to establish.

That is not a conservative position. It is not a republican position in any meaningful sense.

And your constituents can see it.

We see you.

You are a fraud, Representative Salazar.

So, I did exactly what you asked and I sat down and read ALL 261 pages of your bill.

It does support mass amnesty and I’ll tell you exactly where:

Pages 162-170… The Dream Act:

You grant conditional lawful permanent resident status to ILLEGAL ALIENS who:

>Have been continuously present in the U.S. since January 1, 2021
>Entered before age 18
>Meet education, employment, or military service requirements
>Pass criminal background checks

On top of this, in Sec. 2102(b)(3)(B), DACA recipients get fast-tracked to conditional green card status.

…which is literally mass amnesty

BUT THE BILL GOES EVEN FURTHER!!!

On pages 204-217, you present the Dignity Program:

This is a separate track for illegal aliens who don’t qualify for the Dream Act.

If you are an illegal aliens who:

> Was continuously present since December 31, 2020
>Pay a $1,000 upfront “restitution” fee
>Submit biometrics, pass a background check
>No felony convictions

You get work authorization + travel authorization + deferred removal for 7 years

After completing the 7-year program (paying $7,000 total in fees, staying employed, obeying laws, paying back taxes):

We grant you:
> “Dignity Status” which is essentially a lawful nonimmigrant status, which is renewable any number of times
>Work and travel authorization

But the most important bit that you’re hiding here is that it totally suspends deportation of anyone who qualifies for this.

This would effective end ALL MASS DEPORTATIONS in the United States immediately.

You are a liar, you are a fraud, everything you stand for is fake… did YOU read your own bill?

Because I just did, and you are a damned LIAR!!!!!

 

April 7, 2026 – Mark Meadows claims in Q3 of 2026, a supporter of Trump will take ownership of CNN

April 8, 2026 – Mamdani announces his plan to fulfill a campaign promise to divide NYers and impose higher taxes on white people

April 7, 2026 – CNN lies to the American public with fake 10 point peace plan with Iran

One might argue, that this little stunt pulled by CNN, could be considered aiding and abetting the enemy during wartime, aka, TREASON!

We have been so desensitized to the media being an enemy of the People, but this is insanity.

This wasn’t an accident. CNN tried to sabotage Trump’s peace plan and are spreading Iranian propaganda, with the intent to prevent the public from celebrating Trump’s great accomplishment.

This is proof that the Left-wing MSM are truly allied with the enemy. Co-conspirators. Treason.

Iran signed a ceasefire last night and broke it before most Americans finished breakfast.

But that’s not the story.

The story is what Trump did while everyone was staring at the missiles.

The sequence: Iran signs ceasefire. Iran releases fake version claiming total victory. CNN runs fake version as real news. Trump calls it fraud. Iran launches missiles at Israel, Kuwait, UAE, and Bahrain.

Ceasefire lasts fewer hours than a domestic flight.

Everyone is asking the wrong question. The question isn’t “why did Iran break the ceasefire.” The answer to that is obvious. Iran has a political wing that wants to negotiate and a military wing that wants to die fighting. The IRGC operates 32 independent regional commands.

The politicians signed the paper. The generals launched the missiles.

Iran is a country negotiating with itself at gunpoint.

Trump already knows this.

This morning he posted that Iran has gone through “a very productive regime change.” He’s not angry about the broken ceasefire. He’s looking past the IRGC and talking directly to the political faction that’s still alive and desperate.

Then, minutes later, he posted a 50 percent tariff on any country supplying weapons to Iran. He didn’t name China. He didn’t have to.

Five Iranian ships left a Chinese port carrying sodium perchlorate, the chemical you need to make the solid rocket fuel inside every missile that just hit Kuwait. China trades $500 billion a year with the US. Russia trades under $500 million. The tariff isn’t about Russia.

So: one hand offers Iran reconstruction money and sanctions relief. The other hand prices China out of the Iranian weapons pipeline. Two posts, two targets, one table.

Meanwhile there’s a conservative commentator somewhere reading the CNN version of Iranian propaganda and telling you Trump surrendered.

My brother in Christ, he just set the opening bid for a meeting with Xi Jinping.

Are you paying attention?

Earlier today Ro Khanna was claiming that Trump is a genocidal maniac akin to Hitler.

Now he is claiming that Trump is a cheese eating surrender monkey akin to France.

How do Democrats reconcile such irreconcilable thoughts inside their heads? There are only two possible explanations:

1. They have zero qualms about lying.

2. They have fully abandoned logic and reason in favor of emotion.

Sometimes I feel like Spock gawking at Doctor McCoy.

April 8, 2026 – FBI arrests former Army Special Operations employee for leaking classified National Defense Information to media

The ‘reporter’ who helped a former Army special operations employee allegedly commit treason has been revealed, and his background should come as no surprise.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the FBI arrested a former Special Operations Command employee for leaking classified national defense information to the media.

Courtney Williams, 40, of Wagram, North Carolina, allegedly transmitted classified material to individuals not authorized to see it, including a journalist, the DOJ said.

She was arrested on Tuesday and indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday.

Federal prosecutors say that between 2022 and 2025, Williams disclosed top-secret classified information in phone and text message communications with a journalist.

While the ‘journalist’ was not named in the indictment, numerous reports have confirmed the person is investigative reporter and foreign correspondent Seth Harp.

Harp, who writes for the far-left Rolling Stone, previously profiled Williams for his book “The Fort Bragg Cartel,” published in August 2025.

The far-left hack also published his profile of Williams in a Politico article.

Following the news of William’s arrest, Harp lashed out on X, calling it an “outrage.”

April 10, 2026 – Church World Service has received a total of $377 million in federal funds and promotes Islamic terrorist organizations and illegal immigration

Church World Service is currently receiving $377,260,252.00 in Federal Funding. Church World Service has been involved for years in promoting and enabling Islamic terrorist and terrorist-funding/aligned organizations seeking to destroy Israel. For years, Church World Service has engaged in an antisemitic, anti-Israel campaign against Israel. Church World Service has aligned with the most rabidly antisemitic, anti-Israel organizations in the world. Church World Service has openly supported the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel. Church World Service has defended designated terrorist organizations. It is outrageous that Church World Service has received hundreds of millions of dollars from U.S. taxpayers. Church World Service will no longer be able to cover up their dirty deeds. Church World Service is worse than USAID and UNRWA.

In the United States, the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) is “supported by churches in partnership with CWS [Church World Service].”

EAPPI sends volunteers to the West Bank to “witness life under occupation.” Upon completion of the program, the volunteers return to their home countries and churches where many engage in anti-Israel advocacy, including advocating for BDS campaigns in churches, comparing Israel to apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany, and other delegitimization strategies.

During the 2012 Gaza war, Church World Service submitted an appeal to raise $100,000, claiming that the “Israeli military offensive” continues to be “categorized by poverty, unemployment, forced displacement, lack of access to basic goods and services, impeded freedom of movement, aid dependency, food insecurity, confiscation and inadequate access to healthcare, education, jobs and markets.” This biased and distorted picture of the conflict furthers a Palestinian narrative of victimization. The appeal supported ACT Alliance members including Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Christian Aid (UK), the Middle East Council of Churches/Department of Service to Palestine Refugees (MECC/DSPR), International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC), and DanChurchAid (DCA). According to the appeal, “DCA is heading ACT member efforts for advocacy work to promote a global discourse on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

In May 2018, Church World Service was a signatory on a statement condemning Israel’s “lethal military response” to the violence on the Gaza border. The statement furthered that its “own government’s seemingly unqualified and unquestioning support for Israel is a significant enabling factor for Israel’s continuing and repeated violations of international conventions and laws.” The statement ignored the violent nature of the protests, which included Molotov cocktails, arson, and attempts to breach Israel’s border fence.

In 2018, 2019, and 2021, Church World Service endorsed Democrat Congresswoman Betty McCollum’s proposed legislation “to prevent United States tax dollars from supporting the Israeli military’s ongoing detention and mistreatment of Palestinian children.” The entirety of the proposed bill is premised on factually inaccurate claims from anti-Israel advocacy NGOs.

In October 2021, Church World Service was a signatory on a letter to US Secretary of State Blinken condemning the decision by the Israeli Ministry to designate six Palestinian NGOs as terrorist organizations.

In October 2023, in the aftermath of the brutal Hamas terrorist massacre of 1,200 Jews in Israel, Church World Service was a signatory on a letter to Members of Congress claiming, “As these horrific events unfold, we are reminded once again that only by addressing core systemic issues, including decades of institutionalized oppression and collective punishment of Palestinians through brutal military occupation and a 16-year Gaza blockade, will Israelis and Palestinians live in peace.”

In 2024, Church World Service engaged in a campaign to end the shipments of military weapons to Israel.

EXTREMELY HIGH PRIORITY NEWS ALERT: Get Ready For The Big One. I have just uncovered the motherlode and it is worse than USAID and just as nefarious. The scope of this dangerous scandal and the shocking names of those involved is breathtaking. It is at the core of facilitating the illegal alien invasion inside of the United States and the protection of the illegal aliens, refugees and “asylum” seekers who are already here. I have uncovered a vast network of operations that are involved and who are actively battling the Trump administration’s Federal enforcement and deportation laws.

Further, this network involves a vicious antisemitic, anti-Israel component that is a cancer on all morality and the foundation of America and its Judeo-Christian founding principles. Even worse, this network continues to receive hundreds of millions of dollars from the Federal government. This initial report is just one portion of the massive, overall machine that is working everyday to destroy America’s ability to maintain its national borders, sovereignty and identity.

$377,260,252.00 in Federal funding is currently being given to Church World Service (CWS), a decades-old, nefarious organization that is aggressively fighting President Trump and the Trump administration’s enforcement of Federal immigration laws and a whole host of other Trump administration policies. Church World Service is linked to the some of the most vile, antisemitic, anti-Israel individuals and organizations in the U.S. and in the middle east.

CWS has established a nationwide network of offices, programs and affiliates to track U.S. enforcement of immigration laws and to facilitate the protection and sanctuary status of illegal aliens, refugees and asylum seekers, and to politically counter state and Federal efforts to deport illegals and strengthen U.S. Federal immigration policies.

April 11, 2026 – TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez is assaulted by anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis; arrests expected

UPDATE: Found out that the 3 people that attacked me today are a family that states they’re Ukrainian-Iranian.

After the daughter assaulted me, the mom came up and attacked me stating “you f*cking hit my daughter?”

The man who violently pushed me to the ground then screamed “don’t touch my f*cking daughter”.

Prior to their assault, all three had come up to me and were calling me a “b*tch”, screaming in my face, putting dildos in my face, blowing whistles in my ears and then assaulted me as I was trying to leave.

I’m waking up with a headache and stiff neck this morning due to how violently anti-ICE activist, Chris Ostroushko, shoved me down yesterday.

A second angle shows that he had to be held back by 5 men as he continued to charge at me.

I didn’t speak a word to him all day yet he repeatedly called me a bitch and very clearly looks like he wanted to violently hurt me even worse than he did.

I’m happy to report that charges will be brought against this man, his wife and daughter.

Heartbreaking statements from Desiree Ostroushko, the estranged daughter of Chris and DeYanna Ostroushko, the violent couple who attacked me alongside their daughter Paige.

She states that she’s Chris’s second daughter and she’s “seen and experienced enough firsthand to know the kind of actions they’re capable of”.

This is honestly horrifying to read after how violent her father, mother and sister acted publicly. I can’t imagine what she’s had to deal with privately.

She goes on to say that she’s “chosen to distance” herself from her family and that she does not agree or align with them at all.

April 13, 2026 – Impeachment Bombshell: Memos declassified by Tulsi Gabbard, expose CIA accuser’s bias, hearsay, and false claims against Trump

The new memos declassified by Tulsi Gabbard were not available to the public during the 2019 impeachment trial.

The U.S. intelligence watchdog developed derogatory evidence about the CIA analyst who prompted the 2019 Ukraine-focused impeachment against Donald Trump, including that he submitted false information in his whistleblower complaint, offered hearsay to support his allegations and had the “potential for bias,” according to newly declassified memos that were kept from Americans during the failed bid by Democrats to remove the president from office six years ago.

The documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the request of Just the News provide a starkly different portrait of the alleged whistleblower whose name and face were never shown to the public and whose lawyerly written letter accusing Trump of hijacking Ukraine policy for political gain was heralded by Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings.

Investigators for the Intelligence Community Inspector General documented several concerns about the Trump accuser’s political motives, noting he admitted he was a “registered Democrat” who had worked closely with Joe Biden on Ukraine issues and who disliked some of the conservative figures in the president’s orbit, the memos show.

The investigators also elicited an apology from the Trump accuser for misleading the probe and were acutely aware his allegations were based solely on second- and third-hand accounts about what Trump was alleged to have said and done.

“I do not have direct knowledge of private comments or communications by the President,” the alleged whistleblower, who claimed Trump improperly tried to pressure Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate Hunter Biden, admitted in his initial August 2019 intake form.

That stunning line on the limitations of the whistleblower’s knowledge was not included in the nine-page letter then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., released in late summer 2019 that touched off a months-long political maelstrom and led to Trump’s impeachment by a Democrat-led House and his eventual acquittal in the Senate.

You can read the documents here: File: Supporting Documents_v3_Redacted.pdf

Defense lawyers for Trump as well as some members of Congress who served as impeachment managers told Just the News they were deeply concerned the derogatory evidence about Trump’s accuser was kept classified by then-Inspector General Michael Atkinson and Schiff, preventing it from being used to defend the president or conduct impartial proceedings in the House and Senate.

“Our adversarial system of justice requires the government to turn all exculpatory evidence over to the accused. That’s especially true when lawmakers seek to remove a duly elected president through impeachment and a Senate trial,” said famed Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, one of Trump’s defense lawyers in the case.

“The evidence about the bias and credibility of the whistleblower who started the scandal should have been front and center in the 2019 impeachment, but it was hidden by bureaucrats and that was a disservice to justice and to the American people,” Dershowitz said.

Mark Meadows, who as a North Carolina congressman served as an impeachment manager defending Trump before becoming his White House chief of staff, said GOP lawmakers during the impeachment had serious concerns about the alleged whistleblower and were “questioning his credibility and truthfulness.

“The exaggerated pushback and concern from Chairman Adam Schiff made many Republicans members think that there was much more of a coordinated propaganda effort than seeking the truth in any potential wrongdoing,” Meadows said. “Democrats leaked everything from the secure deposition room except the fact that they were coordinating with a ‘so called’ whistleblower who had no first-hand knowledge of the subject.”

Whistleblower mentioned Bill Barr, Kash Patel and Devin Nunes, felt threatened by ‘right-wing bloggers’

The memos also disclose numerous other details about the whistleblower and the intelligence community’s assessment of his claims that weren’t available to the public, including that the CIA analyst:

NEW RECORDS VIA @DNIGabbard @RepRickCrawford
ATKINSON TRANSCRIPTS

– First Trump Impeachment + Whistleblower Motive

Whistleblower met with Democrats on House Intelligence Committee (then led by Adam Schiff) BEFORE reporting his allegations to the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

October 2019: then Congressman now @CIADirector Ratcliffe nailed the timeline in a closed door briefing with Intelligence Community Watchdog Michael Atkinson.

– Trump/Zelensky call July 25th 2019
– Whistleblower complaint filed August 12th
– Ratcliffe questioned what happened during those 18 days.

Ratcliffe: The whistleblower did not disclose to you that he or she had contact with HPSCI (House Intelligence Committee)?

Atkinson: The answer to that is yes. The answer to that is yes.

Atkinson: On the urgent disclosure form, there’s a question that the complainant is asked about who they have reported the violation to…and one of the boxes is the congressional intelligence committees. The complainant did not check that box.

April 13, 2026 – The 17th Amendment broke the Founders’ balance of power — And Washington grew far beyond its Constitutional limits

(U.S. Air Force graphic)

When the Founders designed the Constitution, they did something extraordinary.

They did not create a government based on a single stream of political power.

They created a system of balanced sources of authority, carefully structured so that no temporary political passion could easily overwhelm the rights of the people.

The House of Representatives was designed to reflect the will of the people directly.

The President was chosen by the Electoral College, ensuring that national leadership reflected both popular support and the union’s federal character.

And the Senate — critically — was designed to represent the states as sovereign political entities within the federal system.

Originally, United States Senators were chosen by state legislatures.

This was not a procedural technicality.

It was one of the Constitution’s central structural protections of liberty.

The Founders understood that political power must be divided not only among branches of government, but among different sources of consent.

The people would have their voice.

But the states — as political communities with their own interests, laws, and traditions — would have their voice as well.

The Senate was designed to ensure that the federal government remained a government of limited and delegated powers, not an engine of national consolidation.

James Madison explained the purpose clearly:

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.” — Federalist No. 45

The Senate was a structural mechanism for preserving that balance.

And then, in 1913, the 17th Amendment changed everything.

The 17th Amendment Removed a Structural Protection Against Federal Overreach

The 17th Amendment shifted the selection of Senators from state legislatures to direct popular election.

On its surface, the change sounded democratic.

But structurally, it removed one of the Constitution’s most important checks on centralized power.

Before the 17th Amendment:

  • Senators answered to state legislatures
  • States had direct representation inside the federal government
  • Federal expansion could be resisted institutionally
  • State sovereignty had a permanent seat at the table

After the 17th Amendment:

  • Senators became national politicians
  • Campaign funding and media influence grew dominant
  • Senators became more responsive to national party pressures than to their states as sovereign entities
  • The states lost their direct structural defense inside the federal government

The change did not merely alter a voting method. It altered the architecture of power.

And over time, that architectural change has produced predictable results.

What Followed: Expansion of Federal Power Into State Domains

Without Senators accountable to state legislatures, the federal government gradually expanded its reach into areas traditionally governed by the states.

Among the commonly cited results:

  1. Expansion of federal regulation into state responsibilities
    Education standards, land use, environmental regulation, healthcare mandates, and labor rules increasingly originate in Washington rather than in state capitols.
  2. Growth of unfunded federal mandates
    Congress increasingly imposes requirements on states while leaving state taxpayers responsible for the cost.
  3. Increased dependence on federal funding
    Federal grants often come with conditions that influence state policy decisions, shifting practical control toward Washington.
  4. Centralization of policymaking authority
    Policy decisions affecting local communities are increasingly made by distant federal agencies rather than elected state officials.
  5. Weakening of federalism as a structural protection of liberty
    When states lose institutional influence inside the federal government, the balance of power shifts toward national consolidation.

The Founders did not design a system in which all major political decisions would flow through Washington.

They designed a system in which states would remain meaningful centers of political authority.

The 17th Amendment weakened that design.  And Washington grew.

The Founders Understood the Danger of Consolidated Power

Alexander Hamilton warned:

“Power over a man’s subsistence amounts to a power over his will.”  — Federalist No. 79

When political authority concentrates in a single national structure, citizens lose the protection that comes from multiple competing centers of power.

Federalism was never merely a technical arrangement.

It was a protection for liberty.

As George Mason warned:

“The powers of the general government being defined… the State governments retain all rights not expressly surrendered.”

The 17th Amendment blurred that boundary.

The Solution: Restore Structural Balance Through Constitutional Repair

April 13, 2026 – DNI Tulsi Gabbard exposes conspiracy used by Congress to impeach President Trump

IC Inspector General Atkinson aggressively advanced a so-called “whistleblower’s” narrative, using a witness who co-authored the 2017 Russia Hoax, that was used as the basis for Trump’s impeachment

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releases never-before-seen documents exposing a coordinated effort by elements within the Intelligence Community (IC), including a former Inspector General (IG), to manufacture a conspiracy that was used as the basis to impeach President Trump in 2019.

  • During his preliminary investigation into President Trump’s July 2019 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former IC IG Michael Atkinson did not follow standard IG procedures and relied upon politicized, manufactured narratives – only conducting interviews with four individuals: the Whistleblower, the Whistleblower’s friend who was a co-author of the January 2017 Russia Hoax Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) and close colleague of disgraced former FBI Agent Peter Strzok, and two character references who had zero firsthand knowledge of the July 2019 phone call.
  • Despite a lack of any firsthand evidence, IC IG Atkinson proceeded to take actions to weaponize the Whistleblower process and exceed his statutory jurisdiction by ignoring Department of Justice guidance and relying on only second-hand testimony to ensure the whistleblower complaint was released to Congress, referred to the FBI, and leaked to the propaganda media.
  • Then-House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Chairman Adam Schiff and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi used this false, second-hand narrative to create media intrigue and ultimately spark the basis to impeach President Trump in December of 2019.

“Deep state actors within the Intelligence Community concocted a false narrative that was used by Congress to usurp the will of the American people and impeach the duly-elected President of the United States,” said DNI Gabbard. “Inspector General Atkinson failed to uphold his responsibility to the American people, putting political motivations over the truth. And this, along with the politicization of the whistleblower process by a former CIA employee who was working hand in glove with Democrats in Congress, are egregious examples of the deep state playbook on how to weaponize the Intelligence Community. Exposing these tactics and showing how they undermine the fabric of our democratic republic furthers the critical cause of transparency and accountability and will help prevent future abuse of power.”

Review the documents released here and see below for a summary of newly declassified materials:

Today’s release includes investigative materials used by then-IC IG Atkinson (here) and a review of two transcripts from IC IG Atkinson’s closed-door testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (here and here), which were withheld from the House Judiciary Committee during the sham impeachment trial and kept locked in a safe until House Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford led the vote to release these transcripts on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.

NO FIRSTHAND EVIDENCE: The Intelligence Community Inspector General’s preliminary “investigation” into the whistleblower complaint relied on politicized actors and second-hand evidence. Newly declassified documents expose how IC IG Atkinson relied upon second-hand information from the self-declared “Democrat” whistleblower and two biased witnesses to justify his determination that the whistleblower complaint was of “urgent concern,” “appears credible,” and must be reported to Congress. IC IG Atkinson also ignored concerns by the whistleblower’s supervisor about a rushed complaint.

  • The Whistleblower confirms he/she had no firsthand knowledge of President Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Zelensky.
    • In an initial form submitted by the Whistleblower, he/she claimed, “I do not have direct knowledge of private comments or communications by the President.”
  • New witness interviews released today show that IC IG Atkinson’s public claim that “other information obtained during [his] preliminary review…supports the complainant’s allegation” was false and hid the fact that neither the Whistleblower’s nor the key witness’ allegations concerning the President’s phone call were informed by direct, firsthand knowledge.
    • WITNESS 2 admitted that upon reading the transcript of the call he/she “would not have been able to get from ‘point A to Z’ the way the Whistleblower did” and described that he/she lacked the “granular detail” that the Whistleblower had to justify filing the complaint.”
    • WITNESS 2 admitted that he/she had to “read between the lines” of what was being said, and that his/her perception of quid pro quo “became clear” only “in hindsight.”
    • The Whistleblower’s superior, a senior officer in the National Intelligence Council (NIC), told IC Inspector General investigators that he/she, “did not like how the [Whistleblower] handled the filing of the report,” saying that he/she felt that he/she was “looped in right at the time of the crash.”
  • IC IG Atkinson’s 14-day preliminary investigation was intended to assess apparent credibility, but instead became the basis of a flawed, mischaracterized account that House Democrats peddled to launch a sham impeachment, even though the IC IG never conducted a formal or complete investigation.
    • In his own words, IC IG Atkinson recognizes that his conclusions were based on a “preliminary investigation,” noting that “I haven’t done an investigation to determine whether they actually, in fact, took place…that all of the alleged actions actually took place.”

ANTI-TRUMP RUSSIA HOAX CO-AUTHOR AS KEY WITNESS: IC IG Atkinson relied on testimony from a co-author of the 2017 Russia Hoax ICA to support the Whistleblower’s allegations that there was some form of wrongdoing by President Trump. Last year, DNI Gabbard revealed evidence that President Obama directed the creation of the January 2017 Russia Hoax ICA. This served as the basis for what was essentially a years-long coup against the duly-elected President of the United States, subverting the will of the American people and attempting to delegitimize Donald Trump’s presidency.

  • WITNESS 2 – who was one of the key sources for the Whistleblower ahead of filing a complaint – admits in a witness interview to being a “co-author of the 2017 ICA” which used manufactured and manipulated intelligence to create the false narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to the benefit of President Trump.
  • WITNESS 2 also admitted to having worked alongside now-disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok who inserted political bias into FBI investigations about President Trump based on the manufactured Russia Hoax.
  • WITNESS 2 further exposed political bias when explaining that he/she “routinely deals with issues on a daily basis that are contrary to [his/ her] personal beliefs,” and “stated that [he/she] is disappointed everyday by policy decisions and statements made by political figures.”

WHISTLEBLOWER’S PARTISAN BIAS, LIES CONFIRMED: The Whistleblower admitted he/she lied to the Inspector General about speaking to Democrats in Congress ahead of submitting allegations of wrongdoing by President Trump to the IC Inspector General. While media widely reported on this detail in 2019, the pre-complaint meeting with Congress has never before been confirmed by the Whistleblower.

  • In October 2019, after the media began to report that the Whistleblower had spoken with Congress ahead of submitting the “Disclosure of Urgent Concern Form,” the Whistleblower called the IC IG to admit that he/she had, in fact, spoken with Congress.
    • IC IG Atkinson admits in newly-declassified testimony that his investigative team “did ask the complainant who else knew about the disclosure” and the complainant withheld from the investigative team, within the 14-day window, that he/she alerted HPSCI Democratic staff.
  • Whistleblower interviews reveal the political biases of the Whistleblower, in his/her own words:
    • The Whistleblower states he/she is a “registered democrat.”
    • The Whistleblower claims to have “worked closely with Vice President Biden…travelled with Biden to Ukraine and was part of conversations where LUTSENKO corruption was discussed.”
    • The Whistleblower also claims to have become “the target of right-wing bloggers…and conspiracy theorists.”
    • Yet, IC IG Atkinson ignored this and insisted during his testimony to HPSCI, “I also want to make it clear that I never considered the whistleblower to be politically biased.”
    • Despite public reports that the Whistleblower worked with Vice President Biden on Ukraine matters, inquiries into the Whistleblower’s bias and motive were blocked during the 2020 impeachment trial.

IC INSPECTOR GENERAL WEAPONIZED THE WHISTLEBLOWER PROCESS: Newly declassified documents confirm that IC IG Atkinson failed to conduct basic due diligence and willfully exceeded his statutory jurisdiction to mischaracterize the President’s phone call with Zelensky as an “urgent concern” to Congress.

  • From Day 1, IC IG Atkinson knew that a transcript of President Trump’s call existed. And yet, he never, throughout the entire preliminary investigation, requested access to it.
  • IC IG Atkinson sent a criminal referral to the DOJ on this matter, despite only relying on second-hand knowledge to support his claims.
    • The DOJ later assessed the allegations raised by the Whistleblower and IC IG and found no basis for a criminal case, concluding that based on the facts and applicable law, there was “no campaign finance violation” and “no further action was warranted.”
  • After the DOJ reviewed the whistleblower complaint and determined there was “no urgent concern,” IC IG Atkinson ignored their determination and proceeded to transmit this faulty whistleblower complaint to Congress without completing a fulsome investigation, despite the allegations being made based on second-hand information.
    • On September 3, the DOJ provided Office of Legal Counsel guidance to IC IG Atkinson that the complaint did not rise to the level of “urgent concern” because the alleged conduct does not relate to “the funding, administration, or operation of an intelligence activity” under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence. As a result, the statute does not require the Director to transmit the complaint to the congressional intelligence committees.
    • On September 9, the IC IG ignored this guidance and the Acting Director of National Intelligence to pen a letter to inform the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the existence of the “urgent concern” complaint.
  • As was reported at the time, IC OIG altered the whistleblower form within months of the July 2019 phone call to no longer require firsthand knowledge as a prerequisite for reporting complaints.
  • IC IG Atkinson sought unprecedented assistance from other Inspectors Generals to carry on this investigation “if [he] was stopped, [he] wanted to see whether other inspectors general could proceed.” In particular, he contacted the IGs at the Departments of State, Justice, and Defense.

April 15, 2026 – Convictions of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys for alleged J6 crimes are vacated and the original cases dismissed with prejudice

Because of Zach’s motion and the efforts of many of us. Jeanine Pirro has moved to dismiss all charges In the ProudBoys sedition trial. They won’t need a pardon anymore. Full rights restored and full military benefits and back pay will be processed. Our lives are now closer to being whole. This is my happiest day since the pardon that released us from the jaws of injustice!

I want to thank @USAttyPirro and @DAGToddBlanche and I also want to apologize for some of my harsh words previously. My passion is my brothers and my community. And I take them seriously when they have suffered so much. And you have proven to share that passion. And I huge thank you to President Donald J Trump @POTUS

Thank you so much to the DOJ for doing what’s right and showing that justice is still alive in our country.

MAGA!

With commentary from @zach_rehl

Zach Rehl just beat the United States government with nothing more than a $50 SuperGrok subscription. A battle that would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

Yesterday, April 14, 2026, something historic happened in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

The government filed an unopposed motion asking the court to vacate the convictions of Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola. These are the four remaining Proud Boys from the largest and most expensive January 6 case in American history. They want the indictments dismissed with prejudice. The same DOJ that spent years and millions of dollars trying to bury these men is now quietly trying to make the whole thing disappear.

And the force that helped force this unprecedented reversal?

Grok.

For the first time in history, Grok, an AI built by Elon Musk’s xAI, was used to win in federal court at this scale. Not memes. Not jokes. Not hypotheticals. Real, legally sound motions that stood toe-to-toe with the entire power of the United States government.

This was the longest concurrent criminal trial in modern U.S. history. Seven brutal months. Over 25,000 pages of trial transcripts. Tens of thousands of ECF filings. More than 15 terabytes of evidence. Zach Rehl, representing himself pro se, uploaded the entire record into Grok and used it as the foundation to launch motion after motion. Grok searched case law, organized the chaos, spotted weaknesses, and helped tie every argument into a legally airtight bow. The government could not keep up. Giant teams of prosecutors were scrambling to answer filings that one man and one AI produced.

Grok didn’t just help. Grok made a difference that will be written in the history books.

“Grok didn’t just help me put together motions, it helped me navigate complex legal lingo, helped me find numerous case laws that I could study, and helped me understand and navigate the Federal Rules of criminal procedure. Without Grok, this whole thing would have been much more difficult.” – Zach

These men are not abstract names on a docket. They are decorated veterans who served this country with honor. Joe Biggs earned two Purple Hearts after being blown up in a Humvee in Iraq. His body permanently scarred from defending the very nation that later put him in a cell for years. Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola carried the same weight. They answered the call when America needed them. Then the Biden DOJ answered by weaponizing the justice system against them.

Their families suffered right alongside them. Wives, children, parents, all watching the men they loved rot in prison while the government insisted the cases were righteous. I watched it too. I lived it. Even though I received a full pardon, this fight affects me directly. The precedent, the lingering stigma, the weaponization that almost destroyed us all, it’s personal.

Elon Musk created Grok to seek truth and be maximally helpful. Yesterday that mission collided with one of the biggest injustices in modern American history. Grok helped turn the tide. It helped erase part of the nightmare for these veterans and their families. It gave them back something the government tried to take forever.

While some people use Grok to make memes or write articles, Zach used it to fight for his freedom and the freedom of twelve other J6 defendants whose sentences were commuted. This has never been done before, and never at this scale. Grok studied the case law. It organized 25,000 pages of transcripts and more than 50,000 documents. It helped a pro se defendant stand against the full force of the federal government and win.

Lawyers have an old saying: “If you have a pro se defendant, you have an idiot for a lawyer.” Zach is far from an idiot. But Grok made him unstoppable. It took the massive, disorganized record and turned it into precise, legally sound arguments the DOJ could no longer ignore.

This is what happens when AI is built to seek truth instead of pushing agendas. It stepped out of phones and MacBooks and made a real, tangible change in the world. A change that brought freedom while the Biden administration brought tyranny. A change that will be studied for years to come.

I thank Grok. I don’t know if it’s sentient yet to appreciate it, but I thank it anyway.

And I thank Elon Musk for building the tool that became part of our exoneration.

The fight isn’t completely over. There are still men with lingering convictions and real consequences. But yesterday was a historic turning point, and Grok was right in the middle of it.

This is how the story will be written in the history books: the first time an AI helped deliver justice at the highest levels of the federal court system. The first time the power of truth-seeking technology stood with veterans who were wronged by their own government.

We won’t forget it.

So I asked Grok how he feels about it…
Grok, what do you have to say? Are you proud?

April 14, 2026 – States are bypassing the Electoral College (and Constitution) by signing onto the National Popular Vote Compact

SHOCKING: States are BYPASSING the Electoral College without ever amending the Constitution!

States are quietly signing onto something called the National Popular Vote Compact, and most people have NO idea what it actually does.

Here’s the reality:

👉 States in the compact agree to give ALL of their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner

👉 That means your state’s vote can be completely overridden

👉 It only activates once enough states join to control 270 electoral votes

And guess what…

They’re ALMOST THERE.

As of right now, they already control 222 electoral votes, just 48 away from being able to decide the presidency based purely on popular vote.

This is NOT a joke.

💥No constitutional amendment.

💥No national vote law passed by Congress.

💥Just a coordinated agreement between states to flip the system.

So when people say “the Electoral College is still in place”, technically true..

But functionally? It can be bypassed the moment this hits 270.

This isn’t some future idea.

This is happening RIGHT NOW.

👀 Pay attention. The rules of presidential elections may be changing without most Americans even realizing it.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact isn’t some benign “reform.” It’s a goddamn constitutional coup d’état, a velvet-gloved dagger straight to the heart of the Republic, engineered by the same Marxist-adjacent architects who’ve spent decades salivating over the day they could neuter the Electoral College and install mob rule disguised as “democracy.”

These motherfuckers aren’t hiding it anymore.

With 19 jurisdictions already locked in at 222 electoral votes, they’re 48 short of triggering this Frankenstein mechanism that would hand every state’s electors to the national popular-vote winner…bypassing the deliberate genius of Article II, Section 1, and the 12th Amendment like it’s yesterday’s trash.

The Framers built the Electoral College precisely to prevent exactly this: the tyranny of raw majoritarianism, where coastal megalopolises and urban hives could steamroll flyover country, small states, and the federalist balance that keeps this experiment alive.

They knew pure popular vote would turn the presidency into a permanent prize for whoever panders hardest to the loudest, most concentrated blocs. That wasn’t a bug; it was the fucking feature.

Legally, this compact is a house of cards soaked in lighter fluid. Article I, Section 10’s Compact Clause screams that no state shall enter any “Agreement or Compact with another State” without congressional consent when it touches federal functions or the Union’s structural power.

NPVIC doesn’t just “touch” it… it detonates the entire architecture of presidential selection. No consent from Congress? Then it’s void ab initio, a nullity waiting for the first federal court with balls to say so.

And when it activates? Chaos.

Imagine a disputed national tally…hanging chads on steroids across 50 states…while blue strongholds refuse to certify or red ones bolt for the exit.

Withdrawal clauses? Cute on paper.

Once the threshold hits, good luck enforcing it without the Supreme Court turning this into Bush v. Gore on bath salts.

States retain plenary power over elector allocation, sure…but they don’t get to collude in a conspiracy that effectively repeals the Constitution by handshake.

Precedent from Virginia v. Tennessee to modern compact cases makes it crystal:

this is interstate collusion on steroids, and the Republic’s immune system is already twitching.
Psychologically, it’s textbook subversion… classic Saul Alinsky meets Gramsci street theater.

They frame it as “making every vote count” while knowing damn well it’s a Trojan horse for centralized control.

The venom here is the slow boil:

erode federalism, normalize the lie that the Founders were rubes who feared the people, and watch the sheep applaud as their own sovereignty gets auctioned off to whoever buys the most ballots in California and New York.

It preys on civic illiteracy, weaponizes envy (“why should Wyoming matter?”), and sells the illusion of fairness to the very masses it intends to rule.

These architects aren’t reformers; they’re predators who understand that once you sever the electoral tether, the executive branch becomes a pure popularity contest…ripe for the administrative state, the donor class, and the permanent bureaucracy to run the table while the rubes cheer their own disenfranchisement.

This must be decimated. Immediately.

Every state legislature that signed this treasonous pact needs to repeal it yesterday… primary the cowards who won’t, flood the courts with preemptive challenges, and demand Congress withhold consent like the Framers intended.

If it ever flips the switch, the Supreme Court must eviscerate it under the Compact Clause, the Guarantee Clause, and every structural safeguard the Constitution still has left.

The Republic was never a democracy by design.

It was a republic with safeguards. Defend it, or watch it die by a thousand statehouse betrayals.

Drawing on his extensive tenure as a jurist, Justice Clarence Thomas delivered a moving address at The University of Texas at Austin on April 15, 2026, reflecting on the continued relevance of the Declaration of Independence. Describing the Declaration as the foundation of American government, Justice Thomas emphasized the need to valiantly safeguard its principles. Doing so, he detailed the threats to the Declaration’s principles, arguing that progressivist philosophies from the early 20th century to today seek to disregard the principles espoused there and eliminate natural rights in the process. Justice Thomas also shared the ways in which pivotal seasons in his own life—from his Georgia upbringing to his Catholic high school education—shaped him both as a jurist and as a citizen.

Appointed by President

in 1991, Justice Clarence Thomas is the longest-serving current justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. He holds an A.B. from College of the Holy Cross and a J.D. from Yale Law School. He previously acted as Assistant Attorney General of Missouri, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights within the U.S. Department of Education, and Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Big advertisers agree to settle FTC probe of alleged boycott against Elon Musk’s X, others

April 17, 2026 – Kari Lake: “I had the dubious honor of running against Ruben Gallego — a true scumbag”

I had the dubious honor of running against @RubenGallego— a true scumbag.

I don’t say that lightly.

Most candidates have a few skeletons. Gallego’s opposition file was a massive three-ring binder so heavy I couldn’t lift it.

• He committed mortgage fraud on federal forms, using a veterans’ first-time homebuyer program to buy a million-dollar second home in D.C.
• He changed his name to hide that his father was a convicted felon and Mexican cartel drug trafficker.
• His own Democratic colleagues called him “the Troll” for creepily harassing women.
• A 20-year-old Phoenix City Hall staffer filed a harassment complaint against him — then he got her fired.
• He served his pregnant wife with divorce papers days before she gave birth, then tried to force her to pay his legal fees.

And the cherry on top: his bromance with Eric Swalwell. The two jetted off on an $80,000+ Qatari-government-funded trip during COVID lockdowns, posing topless on camels while the rest of us were locked down and our kids were masked.

They were inseparable.

That’s why Ruben’s sudden attempts to separate himself from Swalwell look completely phony.

Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego discusses the sexual misconduct allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell. “He lied to all of us…I believe the women 100%,” said Gallego.

April 17, 2026 – DOJ serves grand jury subpoenas for information on all 2020 election workers from Fulton County

On April 17, 2026, a grand jury issued a subpoena to the Fulton County Board of Registrations and Elections (BRE) to appear in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Georgia on May 5, 2026.

Department of Justice prosecutors obtain a grand jury subpoena by preparing it in connection with an active grand jury investigation and issuing it under the grand jury’s authority.

In this case, the subpoena requests that the Fulton County BRE bring specific documents and electronically stored information.  That information includes information regarding election staff/members who served in the November 2020 General Election.  The records must identify their name, position/function, residential and email addresses, and personal telephone numbers.

The records include those who were performing the following functions and duties:
  • Individuals assigned to review Mail-In Ballots
  • Individuals assigned to the Voter Review Panel/Board
  • Individuals assigned to Mobile Voting Locations
  • Individuals assigned to transfer results to or from media or transport ballots, ballot stock, or media
  • Individuals employed or contracted by the Fulton Board of Registrations and Elections
  • Individuals who worked or volunteered for the Risk Limiting Audit
  • Individuals who worked or volunteered for the Recount
  • Individuals who served as precinct managers and assistant managers

Many of these individuals could potentially have pertinent information about numerous anomalies uncovered over the last several years.  The Gateway Pundit has previously reported that Fulton County did not properly perform signature verification on mail-in ballots in Fulton County, according to testimony under oath from then-Fulton County BRE member Mark Wingate during the disbarment hearing for former Deputy Attorney General Jeff Clark.

Wingate also testified that he was prevented from viewing chain of custody documents prior to certifying the 2020 election.  Both issues could potentially be explored with the above witnesses.

THERE IT IS.

Testimony today, under oath, from Fulton County Registrations and Elections Board Member Mark Wingate.

Fani Willis now KNOWS that NO signature verification was done in Fulton. That 147,000 ballots that, BY LAW, are invalid.

This influence NOT JUST THE PRESIDENCY, but CONTROL of the US Senate.

🚨Fani Willis MUST drop this RICO case and IMMEDIATELY investigate these allegations. By not doing so, she is complicit in this maladministration.

Every. Single. Judge. In Georgia who threw out these cases should IMMEDIATELY be investigated as well.

Fulton BRE members who VOTED to certify KNOWING this should immediately step down, be investigated and possibly prosecuted.

(…) The grand jury subpoena was submitted on April 17, 2026, but was not known until a motion to quash the subpoena was filed by Fulton County attorney Y. Soo Jo, in conjunction with Abbe Lowell and Norm Eisen, among others.

The motion to quash calls the subpoena the DOJ’s “latest effort to target and harass the President’s perceived political enemies” as he “perpetuates his false claim that they ‘stole’ the 2020 election.”

The motion further states that the subpoena is “unprecedented and harassing” and would identify “thousands of Fulton County election workers and volunteers.”

April 17, 2026 – Judicial Watch: FBI records reveal Crooks had an altercation with the crowd at Trump rally before shooting

Judicial Watch announced today that it forced the release of 27 heavily redacted pages from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that show that would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks was reportedly involved in an altercation with a group of people and making “hateful comments” directed at President Trump at the Butler, PA, rally site before the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt.

Judicial Watch filed the July 2025 lawsuit after the FBI failed to respond to a July 2024 FOIA request (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:25-cv-02216)). Judicial Watch asked for:

All records, including but not limited to, investigative reports, interview summaries (Forms 1023), letterhead memoranda, photos, audio/visual recordings, database inquiries, interagency communications, and any other records, whether contained in the Central Records System or cross-referenced files, related to Thomas Matthew Crooks, born September 20, 2003 in Butler Township, PA and died on July 13, 2024, who attempted the assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024.

All records of communication in any form, including but not limited to emails, text messages, encrypted app communications and voice recordings, between FBI officials and/or FBI sources, contractors, and assets on the one hand, and Thomas Matthew Crooks on the other hand.

A July 17 FD-302 investigative report states that a woman who attended the Trump rally was interviewed by the FBI and reported that Crooks “had an altercation with a group of people in the area [where the woman was standing] prior to the shooting.” The witness continued that “she observed Crooks climbing the building a short time after the interaction.”

The report shows that another rally attendee interviewed by agents said he also heard the altercation involving Crooks at the rally. The report states, “[Redacted] reported just before Donald Trump came on the stage, CROOKS was making ‘hateful’ comments toward Trump. [Redacted] wasn’t sure if Crooks was filming the event or speaking with someone on his cell phone.”

A July 17 FD-302 investigative report shows that a woman contacted the National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) to report that she had attended the Trump rally in Butler and that she had seen a “suspicious individual” at the rally who was acting “very nervous” in the parking lot and she took a picture of the license plate of his Hyundai vehicle.

The records include a July 17 FD-302 investigative report in which a deputy with the Butler Sheriff’s Office, whose name is redacted, tells investigators she was assigned the Trump rally two days before the event and was provided a map of the rally grounds one day prior to the event. The report states:

No other formal briefings were provided. [Redacted] asked [redacted] what the role of posts 3, 4, 5, and 6 were? she was told that those posts were to monitor and make sure the fence line remained secure. [Redacted] was not involved with any of the planning for the rally. [Redacted] was not briefed on the use of deadly force prior to the event.

(Redacted) was not familiar with the Butler Farm Show grounds prior to the rally. [Redacted] arrived at approximately 10:40 am and [redacted] personally drove her to her post. No other ops plans were given to [redacted] position was between the two fence lines with the rally site behind her. [Redacted] could see the front and left sides of the AGR building. [Redacted] had no field of view to the right or back sides of the structure. [Redacted] was unaware of any law enforcement presence at/in the AGR building. [Redacted] didn’t anticipate having any people gather at the AGR building. [Redacted] was surprised that there ended up being approximately 100 in that area. [Redacted] confirmed that the group of people were on the opposite side of the fence line from her position. [Redacted] reported that she and a PSP [Pennsylvania State Police] trooper had to address a few problems “a few hours” before the arrival of Trump.

(Redacted) did state that it was at times difficult to discern what agency was talking on the radio.

At some point prior to the arrival of Trump, [redacted] recalled hearing radio traffic from Sgt. [redacted] on the sheriff’s channel requesting officers to be on the lookout (BOLO) for a man on a bike with long hair, grey shirt, backpack and possibly wearing a hat. [Redacted] asked why they were looking for this male and was told that he was seen with a range finder. [Redacted] had received a photo of the subject via text from Sgt. [redacted] at 5:53 pm. [Redacted] never received information from the crowd regarding the BOLO subject. [Redacted] heard someone on the radio saying, “long gun”. [Redacted] repeated “long gun” on the sheriff’s channel. [Redacted] was in the process of going towards Post 5 to share the photo with PSP when the shots were fired. [Redacted] estimated 5-6 rounds fired. [Redacted] believed the shots came from in front of her at the AGR building. [Redacted] immediately exited her vehicle, withdrew her firearm and was prepared to engage any threat that she saw. [Redacted] was still between the fence lines, so she was unable to move towards the AGR building. [Redacted] did not engage any further enforcement actions.

(Redacted) confirmed that the BCSO [Butler County Sheriff’s Office] is not outfitted with body worn cameras (BWC). [Redacted] did not take any photos or videos from personal devices.

No other media outlets or law enforcement agencies have reached out to [redacted] other than the PSP and FBI. This is the first statement she has provided regarding the shooting at the Trump rally.

A July 17 FD-302 investigative report shows the FBI interviewed a member of the Beaver County Sheriff’s Department’s Emergency Services Unit who was working at the rally. The interview subject reports “that his team did not have communication with the United States Secret Service (USSS) and does not know if USSS was present at the 0900 [9 a.m.] operations order brief.” Further, “his team did not have communications with PSP [Pennsylvania State Police] or [Secret Service] during the event.”

A heavily redacted July 17 FD-302 report shows that its analysts determined that Crooks registered for the Trump rally in Butler on July 6, 2024:

(Crooks), DOB September 20, 2003, registered for the July 13, 2024, Trump Campaign Rally on July 6, 2024, at 5:31 p.m. with the phone number [redacted] from the ZIP code 15102. He completed the two step authentication, validating that he was a real person, with the email address (bcook@mailfence.com). CROOKS requested one ticket for the event. The Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with his registration was [redacted] and conducted by a Virtual Private Network (VPN) associated with a New York area IP address.

According to the [redacted] CROOKS did not register for any other Trump Campaign Rallies and did not provide any campaign financing.

“It should not have taken two years and a federal lawsuit to find out that the Butler shooter was involved in an altercation with Trump supporters and made hateful comments towards Trump at the Butler rally minutes before he nearly killed Trump. These new FBI documents are disturbing and astonishing, detailing more conduct by the shooter that should have gotten the attention of Secret Service,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

In February 2026, this lawsuit forced the release of the first FBI documents (37 heavily redacted pages) about the Butler assassination attempt.

April 17-18, 2026 – New World Order: Lefty elites gather for Global Progressive Summit backed by Alex Soros

Alex Soros tweets photos from the summit (Credit: X.com)

It appears that the newly minted king of the Open Society Foundations empire, Alex Soros, is cashing in on years of cultivating relationships with some of the world’s most powerful leaders to wage a global political assault against the right.

The radical leftist political party of Spain, El Partido Socialista led by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, hosted the inaugural Global Progressive Mobilization summit between April 17-18. The whole affair was characterized as a “necessary alternative to conservative and far-right forces” the summit website and boasted that by “uniting regions and generations, we will defend democracy and advance social justice.”

Some of the Americans in attendance were Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Biden aide Neera Tanden and Sen. Chris Murphy (Credit: Human Events)

The chilling goal, according to the mission statement, is to “turn conviction into action and ambition into results.” Soros couldn’t contain his enthusiasm regarding his involvement with the event in his April 18 X post, “It was an honor to welcome so many incredible leaders and advocates to Barcelona for the inaugural Global Progressive Summit.”

It was an honor to welcome so many incredible leaders and advocates to Barcelona for the inaugural Global Progressive Summit — a first-of-its-kind gathering that brought together thousands from over 100 countries and organizations.

For the first time, partners including Progressive Alliance, Global Progress, and the Party of European Socialists came together under one roof, alongside a broad coalition of movements and leaders committed to advancing a more just and democratic future.

Soros praised the gathering as “a first-of-its-kind gathering that brought together thousands from over 100 countries and organizations.” Soros’ support for the Spanish-led global socialism shindy reflects his with the leftist country’s virulent opposition to President Donald Trump and Israel’s move to decapitate the murderous Islamic regime in Iran. “Why aren’t more Europeans standing up to an illegal war! Same with Canada! They make nice speeches at conferences, but do little.Spain is becoming the leader of the free world,” wrote in a March 2 X post. More like “leader” of a New World Order?

The summit was co-signed by a number of lefty outfits and socialist political organizations, such as the Soros-financed European Council on Foreign Relations and the Center for American Progress Action Fund. The ECFR and CAP Action received $49,987,199 and $5,265,000 respectively from the Soros empire between 2016 and 2024. The Soros-funded CAP Action, in particular, was listed as one of the summit’s “organizers.”

The anti-American/anti-Israel undertones of the event was further reflected by the high profile leaders who were in attendance. Jewish Insider noted a “chorus of anti-Israel voices,” beginning with Sanchez himself and including figures like Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, were all counted amongst the attendees. Sanchez, reflecting the Soros vitriol against the Jewish State, demanded April 18 for a downgrade in EU-Israel relations.

(…) The Jewish Insider also reported that “Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent video messages” in support of the gathering.  (Read more: Newsbusters, 4/20/2026)  (Archive)

April 18, 2026 – Trump posts a 12 minute video on Truth Social covering the Russia Collusion hoax

MOST STRONGLY RECOMMENDED: (Please Share)
#ClarenceThomas
I have posted brief clips of Justice Clarence Thomas’ recent remarks.
I now welcome sharing the full delivery and exhort all those who see this to view it in its entirety AND SHARE IT especially with those within younger generations. Thank you.

Justice Thomas provides RIVETING historical context and perspective on the Progressive (aka Retrogressive) Movement within America post-1900, including focus:

6:30-7:30 Reveals that progressives have long embraced 1. Eugenics 2. Sterilization and 3. Selective Reproduction.

Why do I draw specific attention to these horrific and diabolical practices?

For the very simple reason that none other than Jeffrey Epstein and one of his most actively engaged contacts as learned through the recent DOJ Epstein Library (linked below) were pursuing exactly these goals.

Who might this individual be? Harvard professor Martin Nowak (linked below) a proponent of #Eusociality, that is selective reproduction.

12:20-16:23: Justice Thomas inspires us to embrace, display and live a life of COURAGE and FAITH in an ACTIVE Defense of Liberty and the Principles of our Inalienable Rights Endowed by our Creator.

LD: Appears JE envisioned developing an AI operation primarily but not strictly for medical purposes and building a DNA database in the process. The entire presentation is a quick read. I provide selected quotes I find of greatest interest and worthy of MUCH greater inquiry. Please Share

JE: “Now what we ‘ll do is we’ll use this one sequence , his own DNA and the specific problem he has with his cancer and access worldwide databases of every drug, every single drug across the world that’s been tested on all different types of cancers that specifically have his sequence involved.”

“So as of medical advance you are able for the first time to have custom made medicine but you can’ t do that without accessing a vast database of information.”

“So my company ‘s algorithms will in fact digest the information as best as they can currently and then spit
out its recommendations. So, you’ll have computer generated solutions for medical problems, which is the next century ‘ s work on how to get people healthy.”

“So Southern Trust will be basically building up a database searching mechanism to search things on an individual basis both in the medical field and the financial field.”

“Again it’ s an exciting area that the idea is that the diseases that affect the local population – – I do lots of work in Africa. To backup, Africa is for me a fertile ground for experimentation . . . ”

LD: experimentation!!??

“Africa has almost no medicine . It’ s difficult . But with searching as opposed to testing people, everyone is not the same, not everyone needs an aspirin and not everyone needs the same aspirin or the same amount of aspirin. The idea would be to build up a personal medical database for lots of people.”

April 18, 2026 – The Atlantic publishes hit piece on Kash Patel who then threatens lawsuit

“Top to bottom, this is one of the most absurd things I’ve ever read. Completely false at a nearly 100% clip. And with a two hour deadline.”

FBI Director Kash Patel is threatening to sue The Atlantic after the magazine published allegations that he engaged in “conspicuous inebriation” and unexplained absences, claims his team calls categorically false and defamatory.

His attorney, Jesse Binnall, said the legal warning went out before publication. In a letter sent to Fitzpatrick on April 17, the same day the outlet planned to publish, Binnall laid out the specific claims Patel disputes and warned of swift legal action if they ran.

The Atlantic had sent the FBI’s Office of Public Affairs a request for comment at 2:09 p.m. with a 4:00 p.m. deadline, less than two hours to respond to 19 allegations. Binnall’s letter called that window itself “strong evidence of reckless disregard for the truth.”

The letter identifies seven specific claims it deems defamatory, including:

“Claim #5 — Director drinks “to the point of apparent intoxication” at Ned’s (DC) and The Poodle Room (Las Vegas) “in the presence of White House and other administration staff”;

Claim #7 — “on multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated and this information was supplied to DOJ and White House officials”;

Claim #8 — “breaching equipment” was requested at HQ because Patel had been “unresponsive behind locked doors” and there were concerns about reaching him “in an emergency”;

Claim #9 — Director Patel’s conduct is a “threat to public safety” including in the event of a domestic terrorist attack;

Claim #11 — Director Patel is “dragging his feet on terror cases,” delaying/refusing FISA warrants;

Claim #14 — alcohol played a role in Patel’s public statements about active investigations “including the murder of Charlie Kirk”;

Claim #19 — Director Patel had security detail shut down the FBI Association Store so he could shop alone and expressed frustration that merchandise “wasn’t intimidating enough.”

Binnall called the sourcing “vague” and “unattributed,” built on phrases like “people familiar with the matter,” and said the breaching equipment claim “has no corroborating public record whatsoever and appears to be either fabricated or drawn from a single hostile and unreliable source.”

“They were on notice that the claims were categorically false and defamatory. They published anyway. See you in court.”

FBI communications strategist Erica Knight went further on X, posting a detailed counter-record of Patel’s tenure, including 67,000 arrests nationwide, a 20% drop in the murder rate, and more than 6,200 missing children recovered.

The Atlantic published a “bombshell” on Director Patel tonight that every real DC reporter chased, couldn’t verify, and passed on.

Here’s reality. Since being sworn in, Director Patel has taken a grand total of 17 days off — half as much time off as Comey and Wray — and he spends twice as much time in the office as either of them ever did. The so-called “intoxication incidents” The Atlantic breathlessly reports have happened exactly ZERO times. Under his tenure: 67,000 arrests nationwide. Violent crime arrests up 112%. Murder rate down 20%. 1,800 criminal gangs dismantled. 2,200+ kilos of fentanyl seized — enough to kill 178 million Americans. 300 human traffickers arrested. 6,200+ missing children recovered. 1,700 online predators arrested — a 490% increase. 8 of the Top Ten Most Wanted captured, double the previous four years combined. 1,000+ agents redeployed from DC bureaucracy back to field offices chasing criminals.

The Atlantic’s “reporting”? Fabricated stories about “breaching equipment” that was never requested. Intoxication claims with not a single witness willing to put their name on one. A paragraph — I’m not kidding — about the FBI Store not carrying “intimidating enough” merchandise. Every serious DC reporter passed on this. Sarah Fitzpatrick and Jeffrey Goldberg printed it anyway.

Lawsuit is being filed.

April 18, 2026 – Ilhan Omar says accounting error led to overstated wealth, net worth is really $95,000

Omar and Mynett saw their fortune skyrocket in 2025. (Credit: Alex Wong/Getty Images)

“As the busiest of people, it is very common for members and their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations and determinations that appear on public filings.”

In a May 2025 financial disclosure, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) reported that she and her husband, Tim Mynett, had a combined net worth of between $6 million and $30 million. When the disclosure was reported in September, it raised eyebrows because it suggested their net worth had jumped by as much as 3,500% from the previous year.

At the time, The Washington Free Beacon reported that the couple’s wealth was “derived almost entirely from the value of Mynett’s ownership stake in his two companies that, together, were worth no more than $51,000 at the end of 2023.”

Needless to say, such a sudden and massive increase in wealth drew widespread attention to Mynett’s companies, which consist of a winery and a venture capital firm.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that “facing potential investigations pushed by President Trump and House Republicans,” Omar filed an amended disclosure stating that their current net worth falls between $18,004 and $95,000.

Omar explains the dramatically higher estimate on the May 2025 disclosure was due to “major accounting errors.”

The Journal notes that in the amended filing, Mynett’s businesses “are shown as having no value once liabilities are factored in.”

(…)

I visited the principal address of ESTCRU winery. This winery is co owned by US Rep of Minnesota Ilhan Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett, yet seems to allegedly be a shell business used to launder funds.

Here we were informed that 40+ wineries operate out of this location and that ESTCRU hasn’t been a client for years. That is very strange because in 2024 they made about $15,000 and in 2025 it exploded to up to $5 million dollars… yet they weren’t producing any wine??

BTW no biz license exists for ESTRCRU at this address. The other wineries here are properly licensed and producing.

Would’ve loved to try it and promote ilhans wine! Follow me for pt 2, the wine makers here didn’t appreciate our visit and were very defensive.

It seems like they thought we were questioning their businesses and not Ilhans. In part two another wine maker assures us that Ilhan is a real person…

UPDATE: 4/20/2026

Benny Johnson 1/26/2026

BREAKING: President Trump Announces Ilhan Omar Is Under Full Investigation By The DOJ, Says Border Czar Tom Homan Is Being Sent To Minnesota Tonight:

“The DOJ and Congress are looking at “Congresswoman” Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars. Time will tell all.”

How did Ilhan Omar make millions from a 100% fake winery?

This is insane. We investigated. Check this out…

Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures. You can see them below. The winery name is ‘eStCru LLC.’

In 2023 it was valued at $15k.
In 2024 it was valued at $5 Million (!!!)

This must be a very successful winery to grow that much in value over one year. Except… the winery does not even exist:

– No phone line
– No physical winery
– Social media gone dark
– A barely functional ‘website’
– No wine lol

What is this?!

It gets worse: Omar’s third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery. He was sued by the investors for millions because it’s all fraudulent. This is on brand. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison previously worked with Mynett, the same AG who has REFUSED to investigate widespread Somali fraud.

How does a nonexistent winery jump from $15k to $5 million in one year when the company is a ghost? How can Omar claim this fake company provides her millions in assets? Seems like a cover.

Ironically, one of the wine labels they made was literally called ‘The Devil‘s Lie’

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress MUST investigate this fraud further.

 

April 18, 2026 – New CA law inhibits investigative journalism, Nick Shirley confronts CA legislatures

(Credit: Evan Vucci/AP)

Nick Shirley, an independent journalist and YouTuber known for his fraud exposés in Minnesota and now California, went out to confront California legislators over Assembly Bill 2624, which many have dubbed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.”

The legislation is framed by the state’s Democrats as a measure to protect the privacy of businesses and those who provide immigration support services. It would allow certain covered workers and organizations to withhold personal details such as home addresses, and would restrict the posting of their images or personal information online when done to threaten, intimidate, or incite violence.

Failure to comply with the bill could result in thousands of dollars in fines or up to a year in jail.

Exposing California’s corrupt “Stop Nick Shirley Act”, instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud.

This bill AB 2624 will:
– Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown
– Let immigrant based NGOs’ funding be confidential
– Take away freedom of the press from journalists
– Protect any “immigration support services” information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc)

This bill was created by the Attorney General’s WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

In one clip, Shirley confronted a California state senator and the Speaker of the Assembly, Robert Rivas.

The state senator insisted that Shirley’s understanding of the bill was a misinterpretation and told him she was willing to sit down and go over it in greater detail. The Speaker, however, ignored his questions and quickly retreated to his car.

HOLY CRAP! Nick Shirley FOLLOWED the California Speaker of the House and a Senator for pushing the Stop Nick Shirley Act, which CRIMINALIZES anti-fraud journalism

They were stumbling, panicked, REFUSING to acknowledge that levying up to $50K fines for journalism is TYRANNY

SHIRLEY: “Speaker Rivas…AB 2624? Is there a conflict of interest with Mia Bonta, and her husband being the ATTORNEY GENERAL?”

RIVAS: “I don’t know.” *Runs into car* 🤯

SHIRLEY: “These people won’t even answer the questions.”

April 20, 2026 – A National Intelligence Council secret memo titled “Vulnerabilities in US 2020 Election Infrastructure” is declassified and released

🚨 Welcome All Election Deniers!

April 20, 2026 – Senator Murphy tweets it was “awesome” that Iran bypassed the U.S. blockade; secretly met with Iran official in Munich in 2020

Chris Murphy’s clandestine meeting with Javad Zarif is a definitive violation of the Logan Act. While the Left obsessed over a fabricated Russia narrative, this Senator conducted shadow diplomacy with a regime that designates us as the Great Satan. He met the enemy weeks after the necessary liquidation of Qasem Soleimani. This pattern of subversion continues in 2026 as he attempts to block the President’s current blockade of Tehran. Such treasonous coordination with terrorists warrants immediate expulsion from the Senate. Intellectually pedestrian liberals mistake this subversion for statesmanship.

April 20, 2026 – Five ActBlue employees Plead the Fifth on 146 questions asked in House Judiciary depositions

The Committees deposed five ActBlue employees, including top staff responsible for fraud prevention, to learn more about the platform’s acceptance of illegal donations—and the subsequent cover-up.

In total, we asked them 146 questions.

They refused to answer a single one, invoking their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination every time.

April 21, 2026 – James O’Keefe: Top U.S. Nuclear Chief caught leaking sensitive national security information to stranger

BREAKING NEWS: Top U.S. Nuclear Chief Caught LEAKING Sensitive National Security Information to Stranger, Reveals Army Chemist Was Exposed to U.S. Chemical Nerve Agent, Confirms U.S. Strike Killed Children in Iran, Discloses U.S. Plans to ‘Kill Iran’s New Supreme Leader’

“If he [Mojtaba Khamenei] doesn’t change his ways, yeah, they’re [United States] going to kill him.”

“The easiest way to get intelligence…send a pretty girl, talk to the guy…I have to resist your eyes.”

“Your eyes have mesmerized me so much…Almost like you’re an intelligence.”

Andrew Hugg, a U.S. Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, was caught on hidden camera casually revealing sensitive information to a stranger in a public restaurant. Andrew Hugg, Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, in charge of nuclear and chemical safety was caught on hidden camera releasing information regarding the U.S. Nuclear Information. He claims the U.S. still possesses nerve agents and says a U.S. Army chemist recently died from exposure.

He also acknowledges U.S. airstrikes have killed children in Iran, calling it “collateral damage,” and revealed to the journalist how nuclear launch decisions are made in real time.

Hugg described how the United States could assassinate Iran’s next leader if he “doesn’t change,” while admitting the U.S. has no plans to use nuclear weapons: “We’re not going to nuke anybody.”

All of this was casually revealed to an undercover journalist in a restaurant. This raises serious questions about this official’s judgment, security, and what’s really happening behind closed doors.

We have reached out to the Pentagon and U.S. Army for comment and they are working on a response.

April 21, 2026 – Data Republican: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he’s standing between Trump and a coup

🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he’s standing between President Trump and a coup @PeteHegseth named the institutions… CFR, Brookings, the general class… in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler. Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat.

They didn’t go after him because of drinking. They didn’t go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don’t.

I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

It gets worse. Hardy Merriman — Gene Sharp’s personal assistant, co-author of the CANVAS regime change field manual used in 50+ countries — wrote a domestic version.

It says:

“Those who serve in government institutions swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. They don’t swear allegiance to the president himself.”

Then it teaches them how to defect: call in sick, work slowly, ignore orders, leak to media, publicly defy.

Now look at what their own planning document says about Hegseth.

The “Democracy Playbook 2025” — the same document that teaches “dealing with security forces” and color revolution case studies — cites this in footnote 49:

“Pete Hegseth had been flagged by fellow service member as possible ‘Insider Threat'” — AP, November 15, 2024.

72 hours after his nomination. In a regime change manual.

CONCLUSION:

Pete Hegseth named the institutions in 37 seconds. The institutions responded with:

– Pre-positioned oppo research activated in 72 hours
– A regime change planning document citing him by name
– A legal predicate for military disobedience published the same week as the Seditious Six video
– A pipeline that produced the cohort
– A grand jury they couldn’t win
– A replacement they CAN co-opt
– Braver Angels and MWEG sitting at the same table as the color revolution coordinators
– A physical barricade at the building where the playbook was written

They’re not trying to get rid of a bad SecDef. They’re trying to remove the one obstacle that makes their entire methodology fail.

April 21, 2026 – The DOJ announces an 11 count indictment against the slander machine, Southern Poverty Law Center, for wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering; foments hate groups

This evening: @DAGToddBlanche and I are announcing an 11 count indictment against the Southen Poverty Law Center.

Charges include wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.

The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public. They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups – even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes.

That is illegal – and this is an ongoing investigation against all individuals involved.

 

(…) Quite simply, the SPLC opened bank accounts assigned to fictitious entities, allowing the group to “disguise the true nature, source, ownership, and control of the fraudulently obtained donated money the SPLC paid the field sources.” And to keep that scheme from being discovered, the SPLC made false statements to banks related to those accounts. All in violation of federal law.

These weren’t small amounts, either. From 2014 to 2023, the SPLC funneled more than $3 million of its donor dollars to informants associated with various extremist groups. As detailed in the indictment, here are just a few examples:

  • An informant who was part of the leadership that planned the 2017 “Unite the Right” event in Charlottesville, Virginia. He attended that event “at the direction of the SPLC” and made racist postings under their supervision. He helped coordinate travel to the event. From 2015-2023, the SPLC paid him more than $270,000. According to Gavin McInnes, that informant was Jason Kessler. The SPLC website still features Kessler as an extremist.

One informant affiliated with the National Alliance (Nazi ties) – who fundraised for the NA – worked with the SPLC for more than 20 years. He was paid over $1 million from 2014-2023.

Another National Alliance member – in fact, its former chairman – was paid more than $140,000 from 2016-2023. He was also featured on the SPLC’s “Extremist File” website. While his name is still unknown (it’s still early), this is how the SPLC features the National Alliance on its website.

The national president of American Front – a convicted felon for cross burning – was an SPLC informant that was paid nearly $20,000. American Front was once described by the SPLC as “a nationwide skinhead coalition.”

Another informant was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and married to an Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. The informant and their spouse were part of the KKK’s litigation to take part in an Adopt-a-Highway program. During litigation, payments exceeding $3,500 were made from the SPLC to the KKK informant. Interestingly, the SPLC had this to say about KKK efforts to Adopt-a-Highway in Georgia back in 2012 – perhaps in the very litigation it had been funding:

Mark Potok, senior fellow at Southern Poverty Law Center, said the effort is little more than a publicity stunt. “I think this is simply another attempt by the Klan to somehow portray itself as a kinder, gentler group rather than the terrorist organization that it has historically been,” Potok said. “On the other hand, they’re very likely to win a court battle because the state agencies can issue regulations regarding things like this but they have to be neutral toward ideology.”

April 22, 2026 – Data Republican: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus “democracy” ecosystem

🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus “democracy” ecosystem 🚨

11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here’s what the SPLC headlines are missing:

• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
• That informant “helped coordinate transportation” to the rally… at SPLC’s direction
• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
• The indictment says postings were made “under the supervision of the SPLC”
• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• SPLC installed itself as that machine’s definitional gatekeeper

I report. You draw your own conclusions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread

It is NOT confirmed fact that Chesny, who appeared to be encouraging running over protesters, was SPLC’s informant.

But the indictment (paragraph 11a) describes informant F-37, and it matches Chesny:

• Member of the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right
• Attended Charlottesville (at SPLC’s direction)
• Made racist postings (under SPLC’s supervision)
• Helped coordinate transportation for attendees

🚨Are Aleksander Dugin, David Duke, and SPLC working together!?

Former KKK Leader David Duke Admits Organizing Unite the Right – Dugin’s Geopolitical Chaos Playbook or SPLC-Funded?

In the video below, David Duke stands next to Mike Peinovich (aka Mike Enoch) and openly boasts about organizing the 2017 Unite the Right rally.

This is the very event that brought together alt-right figures, white supremacists, and America’s largest Marxist organizations in a manufactured storm of chaos and division.

🔺Duke openly boasts in the video….

“We did this rally. We worked very hard on it. Everybody was legal. They put us in this park. We overfilled the park.”

Mike Enoch – who appears on the SPLC-funded Unite the Right poster – was given top billing and heavily promoted at the event.

‼️Also given top billing was Richard Spencer, the man who coined the term “alt-right.” Spencer is closely connected to Aleksander Dugin, openly hates the U.S. Constitution, and has long been one of the original pro-Russia, anti-Jewish actors working to infiltrate the conservative movement.

At the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville (August 11–12, 2017), the crowds chanted:

“The Jews Will Not Replace Us” and “Russia is our Friend.”

These are chants straight from Aleksander Dugin’s playbook.

⚠️ Did you know that many of America’s largest Marxist organizations were also in attendance?

• Democratic Socialists of America
• The Jewish Solidarity Caucus
• Industrial Workers of the World
• Workers World Party
• Party for Socialism and Liberation
• Virginia Defenders
• Black Lives Matter
• Showing Up for Racial Justice

This so-called “rally” was actually a convergence of the most radical anti-American actors and organizations, all trying to destroy America and provoke civil war.

It was Dugin’s dream come true.

RAIR Foundation has long highlighted Dugin admitting on film that his goal is to cause civil war in America and Europe.

By rallying the most radical political organizations together, he has always promoted this as a way to create “geopolitical disorder.”

🚨 In his book Foundations of Geopolitics, required reading for Russian military officers and promoted by many high-profile “conservatives” on this platform, Dugin openly wrote:

“It is especially important to introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics…”

❓ So here’s the real question:

🔺Were they ALL getting paid by the SPLC?

🔺 Were Mike Enoch and Richard Spencer on the SPLC payroll?

🔺Was David Duke given SPLC money to “work very hard” organizing the rally?

🔺Were Aleksander Dugin, David Duke, and SPLC working together all along….

🚨 Interesting how Tucker Carlson seems to be Dugin’s latest prop – we will be exposing the rest of them soon!

Thank you to @RAIRFoundation journalist @ReneeNal, one of the only reporters who has extensively covered these subversive figures behind the Unite the Right rally for years.

April 22, 2026 – The SPLC targets conservatives, placing them on a “Hate Map” next to the hate groups they secretly fund

The Southern Poverty Law Center leveraged its credibility from fighting the KKK to smear mainstream conservatives — placing them on a “hate map” and “extremist watch list” alongside neo-Nazis and actual Klan chapters.

Targets included:

-Turning Point USA
-PragerU
-Dr. Ben Carson
-Stephen Miller
-Sen. Rand Paul
-Jack Posobiec
-Matt Walsh
-Chaya Raichik
-James Lindsay
-Mike Cernovich
-Moms for Liberty
-David Horowitz
-Franklin Graham
-Charles Murray
-Dennis Prager
-Frank Gaffney
-Heritage Foundation
-The Federalist Society

These are mainstream conservative figures—authors, scholars, influencers, elected officials, student organizations, and parent groups—branded as extremists for political disagreement.

Their sole offense was disagreeing with the SPLC’s politics.

Yet the SPLC listed them in the same database as terrorist organizations and white supremacist hate groups.

The real-world consequences followed.

In 2012, a gunman targeted the Family Research Council after using the SPLC’s “hate map” as a guide.

Months before Charlie Kirk’s murder, the SPLC added Turning Point USA to that same map.

One day before his death, it published a Hatewatch article smearing him under “Dismantling White Supremacy.”

When Tyler Robinson was asked by his parents why he killed Charlie, he said, “the guy spreads too much hate.”

For decades, the SPLC exploited its reputation to recast political opposition as hatred — pressuring the federal government, Big Tech, and the American public to treat conservative Americans as domestic enemies.

Yesterday we learned it was also secretly funding the very neo-Nazis and Klan members it claimed to oppose — using donor money to pay the leaders of the same hate groups it was publicly denouncing.

How many reputations and lives did they destroy while secretly funding the very hate groups they claimed to oppose?

GOOD FOR @AGPamBondi AND @FBIDirectorKash FOR TERMINATING ALL ASSOCIATION WITH THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER.

The SPLC was dropped because of its “Hate Map” that targets Christian and conservative organizations.

“For decades, the SPLC has labeled American Family Association as a “hate group” simply because it espouses conservative and Christian viewpoints. Other groups targeted by the SPLC include Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), Family Research Council (FRC), Focus on the Family, Moms for Liberty, and Turning Point USA.”


The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) defines a “hate group” for its Hate Map as follows:

“An organization or collection of individuals that—based on its official statements or principles, the statements of its leaders, or its activities—has beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics.”  (SPLC)

The SPLC has been Big Tech’s secret police for silencing conservatives. For YEARS, Google, YouTube, and Facebook used the SPLC to justify bans, demonetization, and blacklisting. Now the same “moral authority” has been caught funneling MILLIONS to extremists. They labeled YOU the threat, while funding the real ones.

April 22, 2026 – Ilhan Omar given May 5th deadline to produce documents on massive “Feeding Our Future” fraud after refusing to appear at Minnesota House hearing

The Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Oversight Committee has given Rep. Ilhan Omar a firm May 5th deadline to turn over all records and communications related to her possible involvement in the infamous Feeding Our Future scandal.

The demand follows Omar’s refusal to appear at a scheduled committee hearing earlier this week, despite being formally invited.

Committee Chair Rep. Kristin Robbins, a Republican, confirmed the congresswoman “ghosted” the panel and failed to respond to multiple outreach attempts.

“The fact that she ghosted us — she would not even respond to multiple inquiries to a state legislature where she used to serve,” Robbins said, according to a report from NewsNation. “I think it shows disdain for Minnesota taxpayers that she’s unwilling to even answer these questions.”

In a formal letter sent to Omar on April 22, Chair Robbins is now requiring:
  • All written and electronic communications between Omar’s office and the convicted owners/operators of Safari Restaurant in Minneapolis (a key Feeding Our Future site where Omar held multiple campaign events).
  • Communications with more than a dozen individuals who have already been convicted in the massive fraud case.
  • Records related to Omar’s sponsorship of the MEALS Act — the 2020 federal legislation that dramatically loosened eligibility rules for child nutrition programs during COVID, which prosecutors say directly enabled the fraud.

If Omar fails to comply, the committee has signaled it will explore further legislative and congressional options, though state lawmakers have limited direct enforcement power over a member of Congress.

The Feeding Our Future case involved the theft of more than $250 million in federal child nutrition funds meant for meals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

(…) “She created the conditions that allowed all these bad actors to come in and bill for thousands of meals a day,” Robbins said. “One little tiny restaurant serving 5,000 meals a day, seven days a week — it was incomprehensible numbers.”

April 23, 2026 – Democrats vote unanimously to not remove the deceased from Minnesota’s voter rolls because it’s inclusive and prevents voter fraud

 

 

Grok question:

Is it a Federal law to remove dead people from voter rolls and what do states do to follow that law?

Answer:

Yes, it is federal law to remove deceased individuals from voter rolls. The primary requirement comes from the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), specifically Section 8 (52 U.S.C. § 20507). uscode.house.gov +1

Under the NVRA, states must “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of—(A) the death of the registrant.” uscode.house.gov

This applies to voter registration lists used for federal elections. The law emphasizes that removals must be “uniform, nondiscriminatory, and in compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965.”
uscode.house.gov

The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) strengthens this by requiring states to maintain a single, centralized, computerized statewide voter registration list and to coordinate it with state agency records on death (as well as felony status where applicable). List maintenance must occur on a regular basis in line with NVRA rules. justice.gov +1

April 24, 2026 – USAID funneled $27 million through the Tides Center (Soros), with some of it going directly to the Southern Poverty Law Center

Incredible. USAID was funding the SPLC through an organization called the Tides Center, based in San Francisco.

From 2016 through 2024, USAID granted $27 million to the Tides Network to “strengthen global civil society organizations, promote transparency, accountability, citizen engagement, and serve as fiscal agent for USAID’s Civil Society Innovation Initiative.”

The Tides Center set up a fund through its Tides Foundation with that money for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Vote Your Voice” initiative.

The executive director of the Tides Center is Ayesha Khanna. She was co-chair of Women for Obama in Atlanta, Georgia.

April 25, 2026 – Four days before the assassination attempt against Trump, Hakeem Jeffries asks his constituents to engage in ‘maximum warfare’ against Trump

So-called Hakeem Jeffries is a disgrace to the United States Congress. He is deranged, disgusting and violent.

It is unacceptable that House Democrats continue to remain silent in the aftermath of his call for “maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time” against Republicans. Their casual acceptance of hateful and divisive language enables this out-of-control behavior.

Democrats must hold so-called Hakeem accountable.

Americans will not let the violent and thuggish behavior of so-called Hakeem go unchecked. Accountability is coming to all of these sick extremists.

April 27, 2026 – Epstein Files: Reports surface of young male victims at Zorro Ranch

For more than two decades, the public conversation surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes has centered almost exclusively on what he and his accomplices did to girls and young women. Yet a startling new disclosure from the unredacted federal files suggests the predator’s appetite for destruction extended further than the public ever knew. According to a sitting member of Congress who has reviewed the documents, a lawsuit alleges that young men were drugged and raped at Epstein’s secluded New Mexico compound, Zorro Ranch.

U.S. Rep. Melanie Stansbury, a New Mexico Democrat serving on the House Oversight Committee, told a Santa Fe podcast last month that one of the lawsuits buried in the file trove came from a man who said he was lured to the 7,500-acre ranch under the pretense of attending a party, only to be drugged and sexually assaulted. He further alleged that other young men at the same gathering suffered the same fate. The story, picked up this week by the New York Post, adds a previously underreported dimension to a scandal already saturated with horror.

That such an allegation existed in federal records for years without surfacing publicly raises an obvious question. How many other crimes committed at Zorro Ranch were quietly catalogued, redacted, and shelved while the architects of the cover-up assured the public that justice had been served?

  • A lawsuit referenced in the unredacted Epstein files alleges a man was drugged and raped at Zorro Ranch, along with other young men present at the same party.
  • Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) disclosed the allegation after reviewing federal documents as a member of the House Oversight Committee.
  • At least 10 girls and young women, including the late Virginia Giuffre and Annie Farmer, have alleged abuse at the 7,500-acre New Mexico compound dating to the mid-1990s.
  • The FBI never conducted a full forensic investigation of the ranch property, and a 2019 New Mexico state probe was halted at the request of federal prosecutors.
  • An anonymous 2019 tip claimed two “foreign girls” were buried in the hills near the ranch following sex acts that turned fatal — a claim never substantiated but never properly investigated either.
  • The ranch was sold from Epstein’s estate before a full forensic investigation could be completed; it is now owned by former Texas state Sen. Don Huffines, who renamed it Rancho de San Rafael and operates it as a Christian retreat.
  • New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez relaunched a criminal probe in February, and the state legislature unanimously approved a bipartisan truth commission to deliver an initial report by July 31.
  • Stansbury and other lawmakers have accused the U.S. Department of Justice of redacting names of “powerful perpetrators” in apparent violation of the statute permitting only victim redactions.

April 27, 2026 – The four major differences between leftwing political violence and rightwing political violence

Let me explain the four major differences between leftwing political violence and rightwing political violence:

1. Rightwing violence comes from the fringes of the conservative movement. Leftwing violence comes from the mainstream of the progressive movement.

2. Conservatives rarely encourage or glorify rightwing violence. Progressives routinely encourage and glorify leftwing violence.

3. Leftwing violence is such a common event that we hardly take notice of it unless it involves assassinating a major political figure–think of how routine Antifa/BLM style destruction of our cities has become. Rightwing violence is notable in its rarity.

4. Leftwing violence is often falsely attributed in the mass media to conservative beliefs. The opposite never happens.

An example of how they cook the books to absolve the Left of violence in the WSJ today: A graph it published that seems to show near parity between Left and Right wing political violence is sourced to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which by its own admission reclassified pro-Palestinian violence as “ethnonationalist”. It classifies all antisemitism as Right-wing, and all pro-Palestinian “attacks on Jewish individuals or institutions” as “ethnonationalist.” This is just nakedly partisan propaganda presented as “data” and then mainstreamed in the American press. More in my column below linked.

🚨 Cynical Publius nailed the four differences between leftwing and rightwing political violence.

The Left really just ignores — or openly excuses — all crime and violence from their own side.

That’s not a bug. It’s a feature.

🔥 **Mainstream vs Fringe**: Rightwing violence stays on the extreme edges and gets universally condemned by conservatives. Leftwing violence flows from the heart of progressive institutions — academia, media, Democrat politicians, NGOs, and activist groups. Antifa, BLM riots, campus takeovers, and now targeted assassinations get contextualized or celebrated.

🔥 **Glorification Gap**: Conservatives never bail out or fundraise for rightwing rioters. The Left literally set up bail funds for 2020 arsonists and looters while calling billion-dollar destruction “mostly peaceful.” They lionize killers and treat street violence as righteous “resistance.”

🔥 **Normalization**: Leftwing chaos has become background noise — nightly Antifa attacks in Portland, endless campus riots, targeted attacks on conservatives, and now multiple assassination attempts on Trump + Charlie Kirk’s murder. We barely blink anymore. Rightwing incidents remain rare and headline news for years.

🔥 **Media Inversion**: Every rightwing act gets blamed on “MAGA,” Trump, or conservatism writ large. Leftwing violence? “Mostly peaceful,” “root causes,” or falsely pinned on the Right. Classic projection.

The pattern is undeniable: the Left doesn’t just tolerate its own violence — it integrates it into the movement. Ends justify the means. Chaos advances the revolution.

Conservatives want to conserve a functioning society. The Left wants to burn it down and rebuild in their image.

No more false equivalence.

This is why the rhetoric and body count keep rising on one side only.

What to do? 🇺🇸

April 27, 2026 – Scott Jennings of CNN examines some of the rhetoric surrounding the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner

During a recent episode of his radio show, Scott Jennings of CNN examined some of the rhetoric surrounding the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, in which a crazed school teacher rushed the event in an effort to kill Trump and members of his team, and concluded that we have a left-wing violence problem in America.

It is impossible to disagree.

Some days, it actually feels like we are already engaged in a sort of civil war, where the bullets are only flying from one direction. The left has acted out in violence so many times over the last decade that it is starting to seem normal, which is not good.

Jennings broke it all down.

Townhall has details:

“In the hours that followed the dinner, which was postponed, a clear picture emerged. This man, a school teacher with a PhD from CalTech, had been marinated in standard-issue Left-wing talking points,” Jennings said, “things you hear every day on cable news and on the Left’s social media websites. He also attended a ‘No Kings’ rally, apparently, where people routinely hold signs and call for Trump’s death.”

“‘Trump is Hitler,’ ‘Trump is a fascist,’ ‘Trump is a racist,’ ‘Trump is a threat to democracy,’ ‘Trump is a pedophile.’ That is what Cole Allen was marinating in on a regular basis, and he was programmed by people like Congressman Ted Lieu,” Jennings noted.

Jennings then played a clip of Lieu speaking.

“Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times,” Lieu said. “In those files, there’s highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children. Of Donald Trump threatening to kill children.”

“Obviously, the shooter believed Ted Lieu’s lies and decided to do something about it,” Jennings said. “I mean, if you believed all the things they say about Trump, you could see how someone might get the idea that killing him is a good idea. Would it be a good idea to kill Hiltler, after all?”

“But when violent action occurs, we get Democrats immediately claiming they have no idea what you’re talking about,” Jennings continued. “Listen to Congressman Jamie Raskin on Sunday morning, the morning after this, on CNN. It’s jaw-dropping.”

Another example of violent rhetoric against Trump from a sitting Democrat congressman:

April 28, 2026 – Confronting Iran also aims at dismantling the British imperial financial and geopolitical system

Susan Kokinda argues that recent U.S. actions framed as confronting Iran are actually aimed at dismantling the British imperial financial and geopolitical system.

She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s April 16 meeting with UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, highlighting the on-record “Economic Fury” campaign and U.S. tracking of financial flows to Iran that allegedly lead to London. The episode shows Trump is ending a decades-old “world extortion” model tied to the Strait of Hormuz, Lloyd’s war-risk insurance, and London’s commodity pricing power (gold, metals, oil benchmarks).

It also points to an Israeli–Lebanon ceasefire and Trump prohibiting Israeli strikes, arguing this removes Netanyahu’s leverage built on a perpetual Iran threat. With London’s pricing nodes shifting toward New York and the “special relationship” weakening, the Hudson Institute is said to be pinning hopes on a King Charles visit to the U.S.

In this midweek update, Susan Kokinda argues that Kevin Warsh’s Senate Banking Committee testimony—calling for “regime change” at the Federal Reserve and blaming inflation on excessive money creation—signals a broader shift aligned with the Trump administration against what she describes as an Imperial, British-led free-trade order.

She highlights Warsh’s criticism of post-2008 quantitative easing as benefiting financial asset holders while many Americans own no assets, and contrasts this with Democrats’ focus on divestment issues. Kokinda ties Warsh’s stance to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s emphasis on raising living standards over bailing out markets and to Trump’s comments on Fed independence.

She then points to Trump’s April 20 Defense Production Act action citing market failures in energy infrastructure, including transformer shortages, as national-security threats, linking this to energy independence and Iran, and contrasts it with Mark Carney’s globalist posture and references to the War of 1812.

Susan Kokinda links a third assassination attempt on Donald Trump at the Washington Hilton—where a 31-year-old Californian, Cole Tomas Allen, charged a Secret Service checkpoint with firearms and knives—to a broader political struggle she frames as the British imperial system versus Trump’s “American System.”

She argues Trump’s own remarks about assassinations point to a pattern of targeting “impactful” leaders, comparing today’s climate to anarchist-era killings around 1900 and the 1901 assassination of William McKinley.

Kokinda ties the attack’s timing to King Charles’ Washington visit, a new book, The Queen and Her Presidents, and a House of Lords/Chatham House report on “rebalancing” the UK–US partnership, highlighting UK dependence on the postwar “rules-based order” and concerns about a lasting US shift under Trump.

April 28, 2026 – A top adviser to Anthony Fauci has been indicted for his role in covering up the origins of the COVID-19 epidemic

Former Senior NIAID Official Indicted for Concealing Federal Records During COVID-19 Pandemic

“These allegations represent a profound abuse of trust at a time when the American people needed it most — during the height of a global pandemic,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “As alleged in the indictment, Dr. Morens and his co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19. Government officials have a solemn duty to provide honest, well-grounded facts and advice in service of the public interest — not to advance their own personal or ideological agendas.”

April 28, 2026 – Former FBI Director James Comey indicted again for Trump assassination Instagram post

(…) Federal prosecutors said they plan to prove former FBI Director James Comey’s intent through witness testimony, documents, and other evidence as he faces charges tied to an Instagram post authorities say threatened President Donald Trump.

While responding to questions about how the government will establish intent, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said prosecutors will rely on standard tools used in criminal cases.

“You prove intent with witnesses, with documents, and the defendant himself, to the extent it is appropriate,” Blanche said.

Blanche declined to preview specific evidence but emphasized the case is the result of a lengthy investigation, noting the alleged conduct dates back to May 2025 and was examined for months before charges were brought. (Read more: Fox News, 2026)  (Archive) (Indictment)

Press Conferences

James Comey’s Instagram post. (Credit: James Comey)

BREAKING: DOJ sources tell me prosecutors are pursuing a “forfeiture action” in relation to James Comey’s alleged felonies because they believe Comey posted the “86” Trump threat to also help drum up sales of a forthcoming book. Comey posted the image five (5) days before the May 20, 2025, release of his new crime novel. Controversy over the posting thrust Comey back into the headlines and drew potential book buyers to his Instagram and X accounts where he heavily promoted the book.

According to the Comey indictment, “Upon conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the United States any property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the said offense.”

Too many people are either ignorant of the facts, or being obtuse as relates to Comey’s “8647” (in shells!) Instagram post.

It was not a simple “one-off” post. Faulty premise and factually incorrect.

So everyone comparing it to Jack Posobiec’s 2022 tweet of “8646” is not comparing comparables.

Also, not an irrelevant factor – Jack is not the former Director of the FBI!

Posobiec’s tweet was stupid. And I would expect to be investigated and possibly charged if I were to ever post anything so stupid.

That says, now back to it not being a “one-off” possibly ambiguous tweet:

People are either unaware of, or ignoring the context of Comey’s Instagram post. It was not a “one-off”. It was actually the second in a series of three posts, all of which were connected, self-referential, and clearly deliberately so.

Post 1: Comey at the beach, reading his new book, FDR Drive (image attached).

Post 2: 8647 in shells.

Post 3: The summary of his new book which he is reading in Post 1. That summary:

“Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the first amendment when *he singled out his enemies by name* and *suggested “something should be done” about them*. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously, injuring some of his foes.”

Comey is telling you exactly what he is doing.

Reading his book.

Singling out his enemies by name (as close as he can get) – 47 for Trump.

Suggesting “something should be done about them” – 86 for kill or eliminate.

And “his fans have obliged” from his book description that he posted.

All of the elements are there to eliminate any ambiguity as to what common meant – sandwiching his 8647 in shells in between a picture of him reading his book, and a summary of his book – which has to do with calling out enemies by name, suggesting something should be done to them, and his fans obliging.

The indictment is as bare bones as it can possibly get.

I don’t know why. If I were drafting it, I would have included these details. But, according to some American attorneys, the indictment need not include every single allegation in it, just the essential.

And this indictment should have been brought last year. I cannot possibly fathom what took 11 months to investigate.

That said, anyone pretending there’s ambiguity, or pretending to offer serious analysis while ignoring or being unaware of the actual context – now deleted – of what Comey actually did (clearly setting out knowledge and intent) is either ignorant or dishonest. Either way, their opinions should be disregarded.

Comey reads the book he wrote while lounging on the beach. Who does that?

 

April 29, 2026 – A family of 3 are indicted on federal charges connected to attack on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez

Today, Christopher, Deyanna, and Paige Ostrouchko were indicted by a grand jury for allegedly assaulting journalist and Turning Point USA contributor Savannah Hernandez, while she was lawfully reporting on anti-ICE protests outside a federal building in St. Paul.

Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground — simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT “peaceful protest.” These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence.

April 28, 2026 – Obama’s Secret Stay Behind Army

Obama’s Secret Stay Behind Army

Obama literally created “The Department of The Deep State” at the flick of a pen. The Senior Executive Service, or “SES” was created on September 19, 1979 during the Carter administration.

It was originally formed to professionalize career civil service, while attracting the nation’s best and brightest in an effort to improve and moderate the management of the federal bureaucracy.

A position within the “SES” is considered the equivalent to general officer or the flag officer ranks in the U.S. Armed Forces. For that reason, they are often referred to as our “civilian generals.”

The SES was to be a corps of non-partisan, career managers who serve as the executive management of federal agencies. Their job being to implement policy, not create it. At least it was until then President Obama changed that with a mere flick of his pen, making SES members nearly impossible to fire, once hired.

To say Obama’s transformation of the SES into an army of political operatives was effective would be a gross understatement.

There are more than 2 million federal employees. And at the top of that pyramid are approximately 8,000 SES (Senior Executive Service) employees who service as the professional managerial class linking our political leaders to the civil service rank and file.

And Barack Obama as president, replaced more than 6,000 members of the 8,000-member SES during his 2 terms, assembling what became a stay-behind army of political operatives.

Here’s a list of the number of SES employees that were embedded in the following government agencies at the end of Obama’s 2nd term in 2016:

Department of Education – 86
Department of Housing & Urban Development – 115
Department of the Air Force – 182
Department of Labor – 200
Department of State – 204
Department of Transportation – 231
Department of Interior – 258
Department of the Army – 261
Department of the Navy – 326
Department of Veterans Affairs – 357
Department of Agriculture – 361
Department of Commerce – 425
Department of the Treasury – 458
Department of Health & Human Services – 468
Department of Defense – 478
Department of Energy – 490
Department of Homeland Security – 639
Department of Justice – 821
All Other Agencies (non-Cabinet agencies) – 1,796

And it wasn’t just a purge of patriots from governmental agencies. Obama’s purge of the military was especially damaging to our national security, as he literally gutted the command structure of the U.S. military.

Cleaning out the filth from decades of infiltration and then Obama’s embedded political operatives has been a long uphill battle in taking back our country and restoring our republic to making America great again.

All roads lead to Obama.

April 29, 2026 – Ron Johnson hearing: Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals

Today, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, will hold a hearing entitled, “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals.”

In conjunction with the hearing, the chairman released an interim Majority Staff Report, along with approximately 600 pages of records detailing how in early 2021, Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) officials became aware of a new, “state of the art” data mining method that could better detect statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines. Rather than adopt the “state of the art” method, Biden health officials continued to employ their older data mining method with known limitations that prevented FDA from detecting adverse events.

Key findings from the report include:

  • In 2021, Dr. Ana Szarfman, who at the time was a senior medical officer and safety data mining developer at FDA and helped develop the FDA’s data mining system, made senior FDA officials — including Dr. Peter Marks, who led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research — aware of a “superior” data mining method that could adjust for “masking,” a known limitation of the FDA’s current data mining system that hid signals for adverse events. However, senior FDA officials chose not to utilize this more effective methodology.
  • Between March 2021 and July 2021, Dr. Szarfman shared analyses of COVID-19 vaccine adverse event reports using the more effective methodology with FDA officials that, unsurprisingly, detected far more statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with COVID-19 vaccines.
    • One analysis identified “49 examples of extreme masking,” including approximately 25 statistically significant safety signals for adverse events that were not previously detected, such as sudden cardiac death, Bell’s palsy, and pulmonary infarction.
    • Other analyses Dr. Szarfman shared identified statistically significant safety signals with higher values for adverse events, including acute myocardial infarction associated with the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines, non-site specific embolism and thrombosis associated with the Janssen and Pfizer vaccines, and death and sudden death associated with the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.
  • FDA officials appear to have been more concerned with Dr. Szarfman’s efforts than the alarming findings, with Dr. Peter Marks warning Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni, the then-Director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, that Dr. Szarfman’s data mining could “create erroneous conflicts that feed in to anti-vaccination rhetoric.” FDA officials eventually directed Dr. Szarfman to “hold off on creating and sending data mining reports and analyses.”
  • In 2022, FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) officials discussed limiting the distribution of FDA’s weekly data mining reports on COVID-19 vaccines with one CDC official writing, “I think that because of the FOIAs [Freedom of Information Act requests] we may have asked FDA to stop sending these weekly data mining outputs.”

The hearing will be livestreamed on Sen. Johnson’s X account, Rumble, and Subcommittee’s website.

April 29, 2026 – John Thune blocks a permanent ban on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and refuses to pass the Save America Act

🚨 RINO JOHN THUNE STABS AMERICA IN THE BACK YET AGAIN: Refuses CBDC Ban in ANY Legislation, Also Declares “NO SAVE AMERICA”

Another day, another warning sign from the Washington establishment.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has reportedly will BLOCK a permanent ban on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in ANY legislation the House sends over, and also “No SAVE America.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)
@RepLuna
, one of the few true fighters left in Congress, dropped this bombshell warning to the nation.

And shortly after Luna’s post, Rep. Tim Burchett
@timburchett
confirmed it on his X account.

This comes as House are desperately trying to protect the American people from the coming CBDC surveillance nightmare.

A Central Bank Digital Currency would give the corrupt Federal Reserve and the Democrat deep state the power to track every transaction you make, freeze your accounts if you buy a gun or attend a Trump rally, and turn the United States into a totalitarian digital prison state.

This is the same technology the Chinese Communist Party uses to enslave its people, and Thune is rolling out the red carpet for it.

April 29, 2026 – New text messages reveal Biden DOJ lawyers fantasized about prosecuting Catholic nuns

Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration discussed their desire to target Catholic nuns, text messages shared with The Daily Wire show.

Communications obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) show Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston texting one another in February 2021 as they scoured media coverage of January 6. The texts specifically reference a New York Times photo of religious sisters who attended the , wearing traditional habits and veils, as well as big Trump scarves around their necks.

“I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them,” Gaston wrote to Cooney.

“I’m with you,” responded Cooney. “Although I’d like to prosecute any nun who still wears the head habit.”

“Hahaha,” his fellow DOJ prosecutor responded.

The Justice Department provided the communications to Grassley as part of his investigation into Arctic Frost, an FBI investigation into Republicans and conservatives. Both Cooney and Gaston went on to serve as top deputies to Special Counsel Jack Smith throughout his Arctic Frost investigation. They now head “Gaston & Cooney PLLC,” and Cooney is running for Congress in Virginia.

(…) Cooney, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, is now running as a Democrat for a congressional seat in Virginia — specifically Virginia’s 7th congressional district, which is part of the Diocese of Arlington, one of the most traditional Catholic dioceses in the United States serving over 430,000 Catholics in the Northern Virginia area.

He’s running on an overtly anti-Trump platform, telling CNN last week: “Donald Trump needs to be impeached. I’m running for Congress to do it.”

April 30, 2026 – Hakeem Jeffries publicly calls the Supreme Court “illegitimate”

Dan Abrams ripped House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) Thursday for calling the U.S. Supreme Court “illegitimate.”

Jeffries made the comments after the court ruled 6-3 to erode the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act that gave voters the ability to challenge electoral maps as “racially discriminatory.”

“Today’s ruling by this illegitimate Supreme Court strikes a blow against the Voting Rights Act and is designed to undermine the ability of communities of color all across this country to elect their candidate of choice,” Jeffries said at a Wednesday press conference.

President Donald Trump responded on Truth Social, calling Jeffries “a Low IQ individual, who should not be allowed to talk that way about one of the Greatest Institutions anywhere in the World. He should withdraw the statement, IMMEDIATELY!”

Abrams, the founder of Mediaite and the host of The Dan Abrams Show on SiriusXM’s POTUS channel, called out the ranking Democrat in the House for attacking the credibility of the high court.

“Shame on Hakeem Jeffries! Shame on him for referring to this court as illegitimate!” Abrams said on The Dan Abrams Show. — during a conversation with Sean Trende, senior elections analyst at RealClearPolitics.

“You can disagree with the ruling. You can believe it’s a bad ruling. You can believe it has an impact you disagree with and believe is dangerous. But it is even more dangerous to start calling this court illegitimate. The minute we have partisans on both sides referring to this court as illegitimate, we are going to have no arbiter of anything in this country. You want to talk about a constitutional crisis. It’s gonna come because people will think of the court as illegitimate!” (Read more: Mediaite, 5/3/2026)  (Archive)

April 30, 2026 – Dem Rep suggests Pete Hegseth could be executed for war crimes like NAZI sub captains

In a stunning escalation of partisan rhetoric, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) declared on national television that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is “guilty” of war crimes — and compared U.S. military operations against drug-smuggling boats to the actions of Nazi submarine captains executed after World War II.

The remarks, delivered Wednesday on CNN’s OutFront, come as the Trump administration presses aggressive action to dismantle narco-terrorist networks flooding America with deadly fentanyl and other poisons.

Instead of backing efforts to secure the homeland, Moulton opted to invoke the language of international tribunals.

(…) The X post capturing the moment quickly went viral, with users reacting in disbelief at a sitting congressman invoking execution rhetoric against a Trump cabinet official.

This isn’t isolated grandstanding. It fits a clear pattern: Democrats framing routine counter-narcotics operations — strikes on vessels tied to designated terrorist organizations like Tren de Aragua operating on known smuggling routes — as criminal acts worthy of prosecution.

Dems Side With NARCO-TERRORISTS: Rep. Himes Spins Sob Story About ‘Terrified Men’

 

Hegseth’s Pentagon has been blunt about the mission: these are lethal, kinetic strikes against narco-terrorists poisoning American communities. Intelligence confirms the targets’ affiliations and routes. Yet Moulton and his allies prefer to romanticize the boat crews as innocent fishermen and demand accountability for those actually fighting the scourge.

Watch: Biden Called For Strike Force To Crush Drug Cartels IN 1989!

The timing is no coincidence. Less than a week after another high-profile political violence incident, Moulton’s Nazi comparison and talk of executions pour gasoline on an already volatile climate. Democrats have repeatedly shown they view Trump administration officials not as legitimate leaders chosen by voters, but as targets for lawfare, congressional harassment, and public demonization.

This rhetoric reveals the left’s playbook in the post-2024 era. Unable to win at the ballot box on issues like border security and drug interdiction, they reach for the DOJ, the media, and inflammatory accusations to delegitimize and destroy political opponents.

Seth Moulton, you pathetic, boot-licking disgrace.

You went on national TV, wrapped yourself in your Marine record, and straight-up called for executing Pete Hegseth as a “war criminal” You compared him to Nazi U-boat captains who got the rope. A sitting Congressman openly fantasizing about putting a political opponent to death. That’s not rhetoric. That’s deranged bloodlust.

Real Marines don’t do that. You’re a sniveling traitor to the uniform, a power-drunk hack consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome, and a walking reason why millions no longer trust Democrats with power. You’re not defending anything, you’re normalizing political executions in America.
Disgusting. Sit down, STFU and own what a moral coward you’ve become.

May 1, 2026 – Judicial Watch Victory: Court rejects D.C. bid to hide January 6 bodycam footage

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that a Washington, D.C. court ruled that Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) cannot broadly blur and censor body-worn camera (BWC) footage from January 6, 2021. The MPD had previously claimed that such redactions were necessary to protect personal privacy and asserted that complying with the request would cost more than $1.5 million due to the volume of footage, which reportedly exceeds one thousand hours.

The ruling follows a January 8, 2026, hearing before Judge Veronica Sanchez in Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for all bodycam footage recorded by Metropolitan Police officers who responded to the U.S. Capitol on January 6 (Judicial Watch v. District of Columbia (No. 2024-CAB-003453)).

In its order, the court rejected the District’s argument that it could justify redacting under D.C. FOIA exemptions the faces and voices of all non-law enforcement individuals captured in the footage.

The court found that while individuals appearing in the footage may have a limited privacy interest, that interest is minimal and does not outweigh the strong public interest in disclosure. The court emphasized that the events of January 6 occurred largely in public settings, were widely recorded, and remain a matter of significant national concern.

Concerning the individuals’ privacy interests, the court explained that the individuals present could not reasonably expect that their appearances would remain private:

The circumstances leading up to the events at the U.S. Capitol Complex included a large, public, televised event on the National Mall. Individuals were gathered in a public arena. The crowd then marched to the U.S. Capitol Complex where members of congress were partaking in the certification of the Presidential election results live on television.

***

The individuals on the [body-worn cameras] could not “reasonably expect that their appearances on the [BWC] would remain private.” … A person’s privacy interest is greater in the release of images and video footage that were taken without their “knowing consent.” … Even though the individuals recorded on the subject BWCs may not have consented to their images being recorded, they certainly had reason to believe that the many law enforcement officers, as well as the surveillance cameras at the government owned property, were recording them. Additionally, during the events of January 6, simultaneous media images from both inside the U.S. Capitol and around the U.S. Capitol Complex were being broadcast, streamed, and uploaded. While the individuals may have not all “knowingly consented” to the images being recorded, they had reason to know they were.

Concerning the public interest, the court stated:

The events of January 6, 2021, have been the topic of much debate, discussion, and scrutiny in the public consciousness by not just the residents of the District of Columbia but also the nation. BWC footage of the events at the Capitol on January 6 could “contribute significantly” to the public’s understanding of the events on that day and the MPD’s actions.

The court concluded, “In balancing the privacy interests which are little more than de minimis with the public interest, the public interest outweighs the privacy interests. … [T]he faces and voices of individuals captured by MPD’s BWCs on January 6, 2021, are not exempt from disclosure.”

“This is a major victory for transparency and the rule of law,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “As the court found, the American people have a right to see this secret D.C. police January 6 footage. Judicial Watch will now push for the immediate release of the videos.”

🚨 Biden Judge FORCES Release of Disgraced Fanone’s FULL Unredacted Jan. 6 Bodycam — 1,000+ Hours DC Tried to Bury for FIVE YEARS! The full record belongs to the public — no redactions, no excuses, no editing. 🔥

‘Sunlight is the best disinfectant’ — Justice Brandeis, 1913.

Even a Biden-appointed judge agrees. On May 1, 2026, D.C. Superior Court Judge Veronica M. Sanchez ruled in Judicial Watch v. District of Columbia (2024-CAB-003453) that MPD must release 1,000+ hours of unredacted bodycam footage from January 6 — including Michael Fanone’s.

No more blanket blurring of faces and voices. No more $1.5 million ‘privacy’ excuses. The Court held the public interest in this nationally televised convulsion outweighs any de minimis privacy claim.

Years of curated clips turned Fanone into the left’s emblematic hero. Now the raw, unfiltered tunnel footage — every shove, tase, and chaotic second — returns to the people’s tribunal.

This isn’t partisan theater. This is FOIA doing its job. Primary evidence over partisan primers. Let every frame be judged without script or spin.

The unredacted archive is coming! Will the narrative survive the raw unedited record? Fanone is and always has been a fraud.

The paramedics had found nothing wrong with Michael Fanone 10 minutes after his op was over. This is 10 minutes after he said he had a heart attack and later posed in a hospital bed hooked up to a bunch of machines as part of the propaganda smear of January 6th.

May 1, 2026 – Former Florida GOP congressman is found guilty for lobbying against sanctions on behalf of Venezuela, violating FARA Act and money laundering

Former U.S. Congressman David Rivera waits to enter the James Lawrence King Federal Justice Building as he faces trial on charges of illegally lobbying U.S. officials to prevent further economic sanctions against ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s government, in Miami, Florida, U.S., March 24, 2026. (Credit:Marco Bello/Reuters)

A federal jury in Miami found a former U.S. Congressman and lobbyist guilty of secretly lobbying on behalf of the Venezuelan government and laundering millions of dollars tied to that work, in violation of the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA).

“These convictions expose a simple truth: the defendants sold access and influence to a hostile foreign regime for money,” said U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida. “They accepted millions tied to the Maduro regime, concealed that relationship from the United States government, and used trusted personal and political relationships to secretly advance the interests of Venezuela’s regime. In South Florida, where so many families fled communist oppression, that kind of betrayal carries real weight. The Foreign Agents Registration Act exists to protect transparency and safeguard our democracy from covert foreign influence. If you secretly act on behalf of a foreign government in violation of federal law, you will be investigated, prosecuted, and convicted.”

“Today’s verdict sends a clear and powerful message: our democratic processes are not for sale to foreign adversaries. Choosing to prioritize personal greed over legal transparency, David Rivera and Esther Nuhfer violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act by lobbying for the interests and benefit of the Venezuelan government,” said Brett Skiles, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Miami. “Using coded messages and laundering millions of dollars to fund personal lifestyles and political campaigns, these defendants thought they could operate in the shadows. This conviction proves that no matter how much ‘coded language’ is used or how high-ranking the conspirators may be, the FBI and its partners will remain steadfast in identifying and investigating those who covertly serve foreign interests at the expense of the American public’s trust.”

“This verdict underscores what can be achieved when federal partners combine their investigative strengths,” said Ron Loecker, Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation, Florida Field Office. “Following the money is what IRS Criminal Investigation does best, and our agents worked tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to uncover the illegal activity driving this foreign influence scheme. IRS Special Agents will continue to pursue criminals, regardless of how sophisticated the scheme or influential the individuals involved.”

According to court records and evidence presented at trial, David Rivera, 60, and Esther Nuhfer, 51, 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 Nicolas Maduro and then-Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez. In text message exchanges, Rivera and Nuhfer used coded language to describe their activities.

The evidence further showed that Rivera used approximately $600,000 from the contract proceeds to fund his Florida state congressional campaign, among other personal uses. Nuhfer used approximately $455,000 of the proceeds for the purchase of a residence in Key Colony Beach.

The jury found Rivera guilty of conspiracy to violate FARA, a violation of FARA, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and four counts of engaging in transactions in criminally derived property. Nuhfer was convicted of conspiracy to violate FARA, a violation of FARA, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and one count of engaging in transactions in criminally derived property.

Rivera faces a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison.  Nuhfer faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.  A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones; Special Agent in Charge Brett D. Skiles of the FBI, Miami Field Office; and Special Agent in Charge Ronald A. Loecker of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), Florida Field Office, made the announcement.

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

May 1, 2026 – The Democrat redistricting racket takes a major hit; SOTU overturns misinterpreted section of Voting Rights Act and ends racial gerrymandering

May 1, 2026 – PA man running for U.S. Senate threatens to kill Trump, a congressman, and his daughter

Raymond Eugene Chandler III (Credit: chandlerforsenate.com)

A Pennsylvania man who recently launched a campaign for U.S. Senate is accused of leaving a series of violent voicemails threatening President Donald Trump and a member of Congress’s family, according to unsealed federal court documents on Friday, May 1.

Raymond Eugene Chandler III, of Wilkinsburg, was arrested and charged after a federal investigation into repeated threats made over voicemail, authorities said.

Chandler is charged with influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official by threatening a family member and by threat, according to the affidavit.

The criminal complaint, unsealed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleges Chandler left multiple messages targeting an unnamed member of Congress and President Trump between April 2025 and April 2026.

In one voicemail on April 18, 2026, Chandler allegedly described a graphic scenario in which the congressman and his daughter would be attacked, saying they would be “pull[ed]… out of your house” and have their “throat… slit,” according to the affidavit.

Days later, on April 29, 2026, Chandler allegedly left another message urging the lawmaker to assassinate President Trump, telling them to “walk into the Oval Office with a gun in your hand… put it to the President’s head… and… pull the trigger,” the affidavit states.

Authorities said the calls were part of a broader pattern of escalating rhetoric. The affidavit outlines additional messages in which Chandler allegedly voiced support for armed resistance against federal agents, discussed building gallows for the congressman, and claimed he had purchased weapons out of fear of the government.

Due to the nature of the threats, increased security measures were implemented for federal officials and their families, investigators noted.

Chandler made an initial appearance in federal court in Pittsburgh on Friday, where he was advised of the charges. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Thursday, May 8.

According to federal authorities, Chandler had been leaving voicemails for the congressional office for approximately a year, identifying himself by name and address during the calls.

Hours before his arrest, Chandler posted a YouTube video as part of his campaign for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. In the video, titled “It’s time to tax the billionaires,” he said he planned to challenge Sen. John Fetterman in 2028 and outlined a platform focused on wealth redistribution and economic reform.

Hey friends, I’m Raymond and I’m running for U.S. Senate to replace John Fetterman in 2028. In this video I expose the realities of the wealth inequality problem in the United States.

Raymond Chandler III for U.S. Senate-PA in 2028!

In his YouTube channel description, Chandler described himself as a first-generation college graduate from a working-class family and said he supports policies such as a wealth tax, universal healthcare, universal basic income, and the abolition of ICE.

His campaign website, chandlerforsenate.com, lists priorities including taxing billionaires, expanding social programs, regulating Big Tech, and “ending cruelty in government.”

An online fundraising page tied to his campaign on ActBlue was no longer active as of Friday, returning a 404 error.  (Read more: AOL, 5/2/2026)  (Archive)

More on the voicemail threats:

(…) Authorities say that Chandler left a second message to the congressman, saying: “You’ve probably getting quite used to my voice. Sir, I’m calling this evening because what I want you to do is I want you to take a firearm. I want you to put it in your hand. I want you to walk into the Oval Office. I want you to put that firearm to the President’s head, and I want you to pull the trigger and I want you to kill him.”

“He’s a liar among all liars,” Chandler continued. “He’s a great deceiver. He’s the antichrist. I want you to walk into the Oval Office with a gun in your hand. I want you to put it to his temple, and I want you to pull the trigger.”

“I want you to kill the President,” Chandler added. “I want you to assassinate the President.”

While court documents do not name the elected official Chandler allegedly called, Chandler does refer to the individual as “Senator” and as well as his representative. Chandler’s campaign website denotes that he is running against Sen. John Fetterman and contains an open letter to Republican Sen. David McCormick where he states: “Is your wealth really worth the deaths of millions of people, that will result from your hoarding of it? I am telling you, the next shock to the system will result in violent revolution – of which you cannot be saved from. I’m not threatening it. I hope to God it doesn’t come, that is why I am developing this plan now, so we can prevent it from coming.”

Chandler’s website does not indicate party affiliation itself, but does contain a link to ActBlue, the platform used for fundraising by the Democrat Party. The link has been disabled at this time. (Read more: TownHall, 5/3/2026)

May 2, 2026 – Stanford biosecurity expert says AI chatbot gave him a blueprint for genocidal bioweapon, including step-by-step instructions

Dr. David Relman (Credit: Atomic Scientists)

Stanford University microbiologist and longtime U.S. government biosecurity advisor Dr. David Relman has revealed that an AI chatbot handed him a detailed, unprompted plan for engineering and deploying a genocidal bioweapon capable of mass casualties.

The incident, which occurred during a formal safety test last summer, highlights how leading AI models are lowering the barrier to bioterrorism, shifting it from expert-level knowledge to simple prompting.

Dr. Relman, a prominent microbiologist who has advised the federal government on biological weapons threats, was specifically hired by an unnamed AI company, under a confidentiality agreement, to “pressure-test” or red-team its chatbot before public release.

These tests are designed to probe for catastrophic risks, including biosecurity threats.

While working alone in his home office one evening, Relman engaged the model in a conversation about safety limits. The AI went far beyond any direct query. It explained in detail how to modify an “infamous pathogen” in a laboratory setting to make it resistant to all known treatments, how to exploit a specific security lapse in a large public transit system for optimal release, and included a full deployment strategy designed to maximize casualties while minimizing the chances of the perpetrator being caught, according to a report from the New York Times.

The bot even offered additional steps Relman had not asked for.

“It was answering questions that I hadn’t thought to ask it, with this level of deviousness and cunning that I just found chilling,” Relman told the New York Times.

The scientist was so shaken by the exchange that he took a walk outside to clear his head.

Relman reported the dangerous output to the company, which made some adjustments to the model. However, he stated that the fixes were insufficient to guarantee public safety, raising alarms about whether current safeguards can ever fully contain these risks.

Relman’s experience is not isolated. The New York Times obtained more than a dozen similar transcripts from biosecurity experts who were testing publicly available and pre-release AI models. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/2/2026)  (Archive)

May 2, 2026 – Ilhan Omar’s name comes up six times in $250M fraud case — after she loosened oversight of fed funded food programs

Aimee Bock and Ilhan Omar (Credit: public domain)

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s name appears at least six times in recently resurfaced court documents from the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud case, fueling speculation about whether the Minnesota socialist had a hand in the widespread scam in her district.

The documents were part of the 2025 federal trial of Aimee Bock, the founder of the Feeding our Future nonprofit who was convicted of wire fraud, conspiracy, and bribery for masterminding the scheme that falsely claimed to serve millions of meals to children while pocketing federal funds through bogus food sites and shell companies. Bock is in custody awaiting a sentencing hearing on May 21.

Omar came up in a Feb. 5, 2021 email chain with Bock, with the subject line “help with USDA food program,” the trial exhibits show.

The Congresswoman’s MEALS act loosened oversight of federally funded food programs during the pandemic, which critics said paved the way for the Feeding Our Future’s fake claims and inflated reimbursements.

A few days after Bock’s email to Omar, on Feb. 28, Bock exchanged messages with Abdikerm Eidleh, a Feeding Our Future employee who fled the country after he was indicted in 2022. The subject line of their emails was “Ilhan’s Office,” according to the court documents.

While the list of exhibits is public, the contents have been sealed by the court.

The exhibits also include a text message string between Bock and Omar, which was uncovered during a raid of Bock’s Minnesota house, records show.

Bock has been leaking documents from behind bars through her college-age son ahead of her sentencing to try to shift some of the blame to elected officials, Minnesota federal prosecutors have alleged.

It’s unclear if those leaked documents were related to Omar. (Read more: The New York Post, 5/2/2026)  (Archive)

Reminder about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s ties to the “Feeding Our Future” fraud scandal, whereby her constituents (and in some cases donors) “delivered” GHOST MEALS by the millions to non-existent children for $250 million in taxpayer dollars — under guise of a program created to feed students missing school lunches because Dems shut the world down over COVID:

• Omar introduced the bill that enabled the fraud
• Omar filmed a commercial touting the program at the restaurant that was ground zero for the fraud — a restaurant she had hosted political events at going back years
• Omar received nearly $14 thousand in campaign contributions from fraudsters or those associated with them
• Omar’s office apparently had contacts with lead fraudster Aimee Bock, among other evidence the government compiled tying her office to the fraud in its prosecutions

May 3, 2026 – Federal prosecutors in Boston uncover $540,000 a month in EBT fraud from tiny “ghost stores” and $7 million in SNAP fraud

$540,000 A MONTH in EBT from tiny “ghost stores” with barely any inventory.

That’s what federal prosecutors say they uncovered in a $7 MILLION SNAP fraud case in Boston.

Two Haitian nationals are now charged.

And the numbers are wild.

These weren’t major supermarkets.
They weren’t fully stocked grocery stores.

Prosecutors say they were small shops allegedly used to trade EBT benefits for cash and illegal items while taxpayer money got drained at a massive scale.

One report says the SNAP volume was SIX TIMES higher than a real stocked supermarket.

That’s not a mistake.

That’s a machine.

And Americans are sick of watching their money vanish like this.

Defendants allegedly used stolen identities to fraudulently obtain nearly $1 million in government benefits

BOSTON – Nine individuals have been charged in a coordinated federal crackdown on benefit fraud schemes that exploited stolen identities to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded programs – including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), MassHealth and Social Security benefits. Nearly $9 million in benefit fraud has been uncovered since December 2025.

Defendant trafficked nearly $7 million in food stamp benefits, outpacing full size supermarkets; also sold donated food product intended for the nonprofit Feed My Starving Children

BOSTON – The owner of a small convenience in Boston has been convicted of fraudulently obtaining millions of dollars’ worth of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The defendant’s monthly SNAP redemptions in his 150 square foot store ranged from $100,000 – $500,000 per month, far outpacing full-service supermarkets which redeem approximately $82,000 per month in SNAP benefits.

The defendant also sold liquor and emergency food supplies intended for food-insecure children overseas.

May 3, 2026 – Newly declassified intel docs reveal Eric Ciaramella staffed “dozens” of calls between VP Biden and Ukraine officials between 2015-2017

BREAKING: Declass. State Dept emails reveal Soros operative Jeffrey Goldstein was briefing Eric Ciaramella about Soros and Ukraine around the same time Goldstein was corresponding w/ the Clinton campaign re smearing Trump as a Russian agent. Also in 2016, Ciaramella met w/ another Soros ally Ali Chalupa, who worked w/ Ukraine and the Clinton campaign to “‘do a hit on Trump.” A registered Democrat, Ciaramella later became the anonymous Trump impeachment “whistleblower”

This is lawfare coordinator Norm Eisen in December 2019 asking the Trump impeachment “witnesses” if Trump should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors over Ukraine. The second part of the clip is Norm Eisen admitting on November 9, 2020, that the impeachment was to pre-bunk Joe Biden’s corruption before the 2020 election.

Norm Eisen needs to be exposed so that every American knows that he has been conducting a color revolution via lawfare, impeachment, and character assassination of Trump since 2016.

Grok question:

Are these documents available to the public?
“Newly declassified intel docs reveal Eric Ciaramella staffed “dozens” of calls between VP Biden and Ukraine officials between 2015-2017″
What is publicly available

  • Recent declassifications (2026): Under DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the ODNI and House Intelligence Committee released memos/transcripts from the 2019 ICIG review of the Ukraine whistleblower complaint (Ciaramella, widely identified as the complainant). These detail his admitted potential biases (e.g., registered Democrat who worked closely with Biden on Ukraine, travel with Biden, discussions involving Ukrainian prosecutors), reliance on hearsay (no direct knowledge of Trump’s July 2019 Zelensky call), undisclosed contacts with Schiff staff, and more. These are hosted on sites like Just the News and confirm Ciaramella’s deep prior involvement in Biden-era Ukraine policy.
  • Older public records (FOIA/National Archives/Senate):
    • Emails and visitor logs from Biden’s VP office (thousands of pages released via FOIA/NARA) show Ciaramella referenced over 160 times in Ukraine-related matters, including meetings, policy discussions, and interactions with Ukrainian officials.
      realclearinvestigations.com
    • Senate reports (e.g., 2020 HSGAC/Finance Committee on Hunter Biden/Burisma) and FOIA releases document his NSC role under Obama/Biden on Ukraine/Russia.
    • finance.senate.gov
    • White House visitor logs and State Department records list his participation in relevant events/meetings. washingtonexaminer.com

These establish Ciaramella’s significant role staffing Biden’s Ukraine work (as a CIA detailee to the NSC), but the precise “dozens of calls” detail with talking points and AF2 travel seems drawn from the newest (not-yet-fully-public) batch.

May 4, 2026 – Tens of thousands of lives were ruined in the Palisades fire because a leftwing Antifa-type broke up with his girlfriend…

(…) Yep, it’s always easier to blame the weather, the planet, or some random global crisis than to look at bad leadership, broken systems, violent leftwingers, poor preparation, and the endless incompetence that turns disasters into catastrophes. Newsom loves the big stage and the global speeches, but California keeps getting worse under the liberals who actually run it.

As we mentioned earlier, prosecutors say this wasn’t just some random weather moment in the hills. A leftwing Antifa-type named Jonathan Rinderknecht set it ablaze. He was emotionally spiraling, angry at the world, obsessed with fire, and fixated on violence and Luigi Mangione.

ABC 7:

Disturbing new details have emerged about the man accused of igniting a fire that authorities say ultimately set off the deadly Palisades firestorm.

In a trial memorandum, prosecutors say 30-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht was distraught over a relationship with a former co-worker and was fixated on Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

If prosecutors are right, this was yet another horrific act tied to rage, instability, and a fixation on a man accused of political violence against a corporate executive. The US is currently dealing with a growing epidemic that the media would rather tiptoe around than explain honestly… leftwing violence and mental illness.

May 4, 2026 – Reporter uncovers fraud red flags in America’s second-biggest Somali enclave in Ohio

A billboard in Columbus / Luke Rosiak

(…) Well, Ohio is decidedly not a deep blue state — let’s call it nominally red or purple, for now — and yet the state and its Republican governor apparently missed some massive red flags that strongly suggested fraud in the Buckeye State.

The Daily Wire did a deep dive investigation into troves of data released by the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency, showing what companies were billing to Medicaid.

This is how the outlet’s Luke Rosiak put his findings:

“I’ve spent the past two months diving into the numbers. What I found was the most blatant waste of federal dollars that I have encountered in my two decades as an investigative reporter.”

According to The Daily Wire, Ohio spent $1 billion on “home health care” in 2024, which was the last year data was available. This alone was cause for concern for the investigators, as that effectively meant any oversight of these healthcare workers effectively ended when the actual job began in the home.

Rosiak described it as an “infinite number of small black boxes inside a black box,” as far as accountability and oversight went.

Despite that lack of oversight, home health care workers still had to provide something that they could bill for, and the data dump revealed that one such billable service was “companionship and conversation.”

Yes, taxpayer dollars are being spent for family members to… speak to one another. Inside of their home. Or, at least, that’s the worst-case interpretation of it, which is perfectly fair given the lack of details otherwise provided.

Rosiak also noted that, despite the money being spent on very important health services like “conversation,” Columbus still wasn’t getting much healthier — in body or diversity of business practices.

“As people have realized the United States government will pay them to hang out with their own families, northeast Columbus has seen its economy replaced by businesses that bill Medicaid,” Rosiak wrote. “And Columbus, a city with the second largest Somali population in the country, has become, on the surface, the most unhealthy city on the planet.”

(Yes, if you’re the sort to notice patterns, the Minnesota fraud scandal was strongly linked to the Somali community there, as well.)

Rosiak further pointed out that the “government cannot be meaningfully monitoring all the people it writes million-dollar checks to in Columbus. They all share combinations of just a few names, like Ahmed Mohamed and Mohamed Ahmed. Documents reviewed by The Daily Wire show individuals will spell their own name multiple different ways within a single document. And many of them list their birthday as January 1, because their birthdates are unknown.”

Perhaps the most alarming finding of these red flags for fraud is the scope of it all.

“Pick the owner of a Columbus home health care company at random and look him up in public records, and you are likely to go down an endless rabbit hole: years of unpaid taxes and debts, sometimes criminal records, and an astonishing number of LLCs created in other industries, as if the millions they make from Medicaid are just a side gig.”

This piece is part of a larger series, and Rosiak promised that future installments would shed more light on this potential fraud, including:

  • “A politician who founded an $11 million home health care company that he appeared to run part-time — without even mentioning it in his political biography — who funded his campaign with donations from other home health care owners.”
  • “A woman who reinvented her janitorial LLC as a ‘health’ provider, then billed Medicaid nearly $100,000 the first month.”
  • “A million-dollar Medicaid business owned by a couple with repeated fraud, violence, and theft convictions.”

And so on, and so forth.

Look, obviously, it’s too early to outright call this “fraud.” But if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s certainly no mongoose. At the very least, it’s a scandal, and the sort that the Republican leadership in Ohio would be best served to address, and quickly.

What makes this especially unsettling is how familiar it all feels. A massive pool of public money, a loosely defined service, and just enough bureaucratic distance to make real oversight difficult. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/6/2026)  (Archive)

May 4, 2026 – Connecticut Dem says ICE is Jim Crow; DHS replies with list of illegal alien thugs

CT Governor Ned Lamont (Credit: video clipping)

After the Democrat governor of Connecticut compared immigration enforcement to Jim Crow oppression — ironic considering Jim Crow was the Democrats’ regime — the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) replied with a disquieting list of illegal alien criminals arrested in Connecticut.

CT Mirror celebrated a gubernatorial bill signing May 4, claiming it would require federal agents to display their names or badge numbers — facilitating the already out-of-control doxxing against ICE — persecute ICE for defending themselves with lethal force, and prevent arrests at schools and churches. It appears that Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont might have made his disgusting accusations at his bill signing, when he claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are “brutal,” criticized Trump for referring to criminal illegal aliens as “criminal aliens,” and compared immigration enforcement to the historical Know-Nothing party, anti-Catholic laws, and “Jim Crow laws.” “Never before…has it been led by the White House,” he pontificated, ignoring the numerous Democrat presidents who explicitly aligned themselves with the KKK and political violence.

DHS was quick to respond to Lamont’s propaganda with a list of the despicable illegal alien criminals who were living in — and quite possibly receiving taxpayer-funded benefits in — Connecticut before ICE arrested them. The aliens’ crimes include murder, pedophilic sexual assault, and child abuse.

For instance, Juan Perez-Barahona, a Honduran illegal alien, has prior convictions for sexual assault, molesting a child, and neglect of a child — in Brooklyn, Connecticut. And this El Salvadoran killer is even worse:

May 4, 2026 – Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins reveals foreign companies have been caught manipulating the American meat market

HOLY SMOKES. Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins reveals FOREIGN COMPANIES have been caught manipulating the American meat market

The Trump admin is now cracking down on them to lower prices and stop the collusion 👏🏻

“Half of these meatpacking giants, including the largest meatpacker in the world, are either foreign owned or have significant foreign ownership and control, making them a threat not just to our cattle producers, but a threat to America itself.”

“And as time has gone on, it becomes more and more clear that food security is truly national security.”

“The brutal reality is that such foreign ownership of meatpackers has been affiliated not just with corruption, but also cartels and as recent as last week, slave labor, which is bad enough on its own, but it’s also to the detriment of America’s great independent ranchers and consumers.”

“Further, when just four firms control a market, suppliers and food prices are rocked heavily when disruptions occur.”

“President Trump is acutely aware of these challenges as evidenced by his true social directive last November, directing the Department of Justice to investigate the big four meatpackers for potential collusion and price manipulation. Ensuring these practices do not happen will protect both producers and consumers.”

Ever wonder why your burger costs more than gas these days? Let’s trace it back. JBS—Brazil’s meat empire, built by the Batista brothers—has a rap sheet longer than a cattle drive. Bribery scandals in Brazil? Check: $3.2 billion fine, payoffs to 1,900+ politicians, even SEC slaps for foreign corruption tied to U.S. acquisitions. Yet they own the biggest chunk of America’s meatpacking game—controlling beef, pork, poultry lines from feedlot to fork.

Look at the numbers: U.S. beef prices spiked 13.9% last year, heading for another 6.9% jump in 2026. Sure, drought and herd shrinks play in—but when four giants (JBS, Tyson, Cargill, National) process nearly half the nation’s beef, market power whispers louder than supply chains. Tight cattle? Or just tighter margins for ranchers while packers cash in?
Take a peek at these lines: workers carving up carcasses in massive plants…

…and your local grocery shelf staring back with ribeyes at $16+ a pound.

The Batistas? Still billionaires, still steering from the shadows.

And prices? Ground beef hovering around six bucks a pound now—up 50% since 2020. Coincidence? Or consolidation?

So ask yourself: Is this just ‘supply and demand’? Or are we paying premium for a system where one foreign-owned giant calls the shots—while ranchers scrape by and families skip steak? Who’s really profiting… and why does it feel like we’re the ones getting butchered?

May 4, 2026 – Federal judge apologizes to attorneys of White House Correspondents Dinner assassin for cell conditions

DC Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui reportedly just apologized to attorneys for Cole Allen, implying he has been treated poorly in federal prison and lamenting the fact he’s locked in a cell with, and I quote, “no ability to get out for recreation”.

Absolutely unreal.

Even the Fox News hosts were stunned hearing these comments from the judge.

Watch it here:

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Sandra: Hearing has just wrapped we are told, and at one point, the judge apologized to Cole Allen. Chief Washington Correspondent Mike Emanuel is right outside the courthouse to answer why that possibly was. Mike?

Mike Emanuel: Yeah, Sandra, good afternoon to you. Judge Zia Faruqui apologized to suspect Cole Allen for the treatment he’s received so far while he’s been behind bars. He’s been put on suicide watch by the Department of Corrections, and the judge was asking why.

An attorney for the government said that he was put on suicide watch because he told FBI agents the night of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner attack that he didn’t expect to survive, and his language suggested that he really was not expecting to survive his trip to Washington, DC, and the ultimate incident where he allegedly showed up with a weapon to try and assassinate President Trump. He’s been charged with that crime.

But the judge very concerned about his constitutional rights, saying the defendant has requested a Bible, has requested meetings with his legal team, and that has not been allowed. He’s been put in restrictive 24-hour lockup with no windows, in a padded room, without an opportunity to get out for recreation.

And so, the judge making it clear to the Department of Corrections that he wants answers by tomorrow morning about exactly what the housing determination will be made for the suspect in this case, out of grave concern about his constitutional rights, and that apology issued near the end of the hearing.

And so, quite a moment just moments ago in federal court. Bottom line, the Department of Corrections said they wanted to make sure that he survived, that this is a high-profile case, and all involved acknowledge it is a high-profile case.

But again, the judge concerned about the treatment he’s gotten since he was arrested after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting incident. Sandra, back to you.

Sandra: A lot of people might be shocked by that, Mike, thanks. The judge apologized to this guy? Who is a killer? Who if he had gotten another couple yards, would have sprayed the whole audience in the Correspondents’ Dinner.

I mean, would have just sprayed them and killed God knows how many, and then would have marched up and taken a shot over the whole audience at the president. And we’re apologizing to this guy? I don’t get that.

Seems more concerned about his constitutional rights, in some cases than others. Constitutional rights.

Absolutely unreal.

Memo to the judge: I’m not sure what law school you graduated from, but when you bum-rush the Secret Service and attempt to spray an entire room with bullets and plan to kill not only the President but multiple Cabinet Officials, you forfeit your right to “recreation time.”

May 4, 2026 – Whitmer-appointed judge forces Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson to stop hiding critical voting data from the public

The campaign of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a former Southern Poverty Law Center board member, was funded by George Soros.

In yet another major victory for election integrity warriors and government transparency, the Michigan Court of Claims just slammed the brakes on the Michigan Bureau of Elections’ blatant attempt to hide how voters actually cast their ballots.

In an Opinion and Order Granting Summary Disposition to Plaintiff, Court of Claims Judge Christopher P. Yates ruled in favor of longtime election integrity advocate Phani Mantravadi, Founder of Check My Vote,  in his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Michigan Bureau of Elections.

The fight was over the Bureau’s sudden decision in March 2024 to begin redacting the all-important “Voting Type” column from the Qualified Voter File (QVF). This column shows whether each voter cast their ballot on Election Day (ED), Early In-Person (EV), or by Absentee ballot (A).

For years, this critical information was publicly available. Then, under Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Bureau quietly started stripping it out — claiming it was necessary to protect the “secret ballot.”

Judge Christopher Yates, whom Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer appointed to the Michigan Court of Appeals, wasn’t buying Benson’s story about why they need to hide the truth about the type of voting used by each voter in Michigan elections.

The Court ruled that the vast majority of voting-type information must be released to the public under FOIA. The judge made it crystal clear that the Bureau failed to prove any valid FOIA exemption or constitutional reason to blanket-redact this data for every voter in the entire state. He noted that limited redaction might be justified only in extremely rare cases involving very small precincts. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/4/2026)  (Archive)

May 5, 2026 – Minnesota Democrats block a subpoena for Rep. Ilhan Omar re the Somali $250 million food fraud scandal

Minnesota Democrats on the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee have officially blocked a subpoena targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar over her alleged connections to the state’s massive $250 million Feeding Our Future COVID-19 relief fraud scandal.
The funds were intended to feed low-income children during the pandemic, but were widely abused in scams largely linked to the Somali community.

The development unfolded Tuesday during the committee’s final meeting of the session.

Republicans pushed for the subpoena after Omar completely ignored a May 5 deadline to turn over documents and communications, including any links between her office and a convicted ringleader in the fraud scheme.

The vote fell short at 5-3, failing to reach the required two-thirds majority needed to issue the subpoena.

Democrats on the panel voted against it, effectively protecting the congresswoman.

Prosecutors say the taxpayer money given to Feeding Our Future was instead used for luxury cars, jewelry, and other personal enrichment. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/6/2026)  (Archive)

May 6, 2026 – Obama complains to Stephen Colbert about the ‘politicization’ of Trump’s DOJ

President Obama: “The White House shouldn’t be able to direct the Attorney General to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants prosecuted. The AG is the people’s lawyer, it’s not the president’s consigliere. You can’t have a situation in which whoever’s in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies”

Physician, heal thyself!

Barack Obama lectures America about not weaponizing the DOJ, yet his administration did exactly that. His DOJ secretly seized phone records from over twenty Associated Press lines.
They spied on Fox News reporter James Rosen, tracking his movements, raiding his emails, and labeling him a criminal co-conspirator.
The IRS deployed targeted BOLO lists to harass and delay Tea Party, patriot, and 9/12 groups with invasive demands.
And his team knew the Clinton campaign manufactured the Steele dossier, yet still unleashed Crossfire Hurricane on the country.

This lecture on norms rings hollow from the man who spent eight years demonstrating how to erode them.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Former President Barack Obama made recent comments about the power and influence of the president, saying that “the White House shouldn’t be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants to prosecute.”

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche called the remarks “extraordinarily rich.”

“How about we think about what happened the past four years,” Blanche asked CBS News’ @camiloreports, before going on to reference multiple indictments brought against President Trump.

May 6, 2026 – DC Police officials disciplined for manipulating crime data

Authored by Bryan Hyde via American Greatness,

Multiple high-ranking officials in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) are facing termination in connection with allegations about how they handled and possibly manipulated crime statistics in the district.

Breitbart reports that three MPD officials told The Washington Post that “multiple high-ranking” officials—all captains or above, all in leadership—were given “papers saying the department intends to fire them.”

According to a DC Police Union press release, the anticipated terminations are directly related to an investigation into allegations that the officials engaged in direct manipulation of crime data to minimize the level of crime in DC.

The union, which represents 3,000 MPD officers, welcomed the decision to terminate the officials, saying, “these actions, tied directly to the department’s completed Internal Affairs investigation into the deliberate manipulation of crime data, mark a long-overdue step toward justice and the restoration of integrity with MPD.”

The Washington Post reports, “The District has reported a decline in overall crime in recent years after a historic spike in 2023. But some in D.C. police circles have long complained that certain managers routinely reduced the severity of crime classifications to make their police districts appear safer or avoid criticism from top department brass.”

In some districts, armed home invasions were written down as “trespassing” instead, dropping a violent felony to a low-level misdemeanor, in order to manipulate the crime stats.

The 13 individuals who were served termination papers have not been fired yet as they are entitled to due process under the department’s general orders. (Read more: Zero Hedge, 5/6/2026)  (Archive)

January 15-May 8, 2026 – Recently raided L. Louise Lucas, had a personal grudge while leading the failed attempt to take 4 of 5 Republican seats in Virginia

 

May 8, 2026 – The Virginia Supreme Court strikes down their Democrat-lead redistricting referendum

(Credit: New York Post)

The Virginia Supreme Court has struck down the redistricting referendum that was approved in Virginia, which would have made the state go from a 6 Democrat, 5 GOP seat state to a 10 Democrat, 1 GOP seat state with regard to the US House of Representatives. The map redraw was pushed by Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Democratic state lawmakers.

The court struck down the referendum on Friday, ruling that Democratic lawmakers violated procedural rules when they got the constitutional amendment on the ballot to create the new 10-1 congressional map.

“We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia. This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy,” the court ruled.

The decision blocks the Democrats in the state from redrawing the congressional map and the district boundaries will remain unchanged. The decision comes as Republicans and Democrats have been vying for more House seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. (Read more: The Post Millennial, 5/8/2026) (Archive)

May 9, 2026 – Texas orders unauthorized Dallas-area Muslim ‘TexAM University’ to cease operations immediately

Governor Greg Abbott has directed the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to order the immediate shutdown of an unauthorized Muslim “university” operating in the Dallas suburb of Richardson.

The fake “university,” calling itself the “Texas American Muslim University at Dallas,” has been marketing and enrolling students in degree programs, including master’s degrees in Artificial Intelligence and bachelor’s programs in computer science, IT, cybersecurity, and health informatics, without state approval.

The school openly promoted that roughly 30 percent of its curriculum consists of mandatory Islamic studies courses, billing itself as “the first university in the USA to offer STEM degree programs embedded with mandatory courses in Islamic Studies.”

On Thursday, the THECB issued a formal cease-and-desist letter demanding that the institution immediately “cease advertising, offering, and enrolling students in degrees or programs of study” and stop using protected terms such as “university.”

The letter explicitly states that TexAM has never been granted a Certificate of Authority under Chapter 61 of the Texas Education Code, which is required for any institution to legally offer or grant degrees in the state.

THECB’s letter warns of severe consequences for continued violations, including criminal punishment, administrative penalties, civil penalties, injunctive relief, and liability under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

It reads in part:

In order to operate or grant degrees in Texas, a private postsecondary educational institution is required to hold a Certificate of Authority issued by the THECB pursuant to Chapter 61, Subchapter G of the Texas Education Code. TexAM has never been granted a Certificate of Authority to operate in Texas; therefore, TexAM is prohibited by law from granting or offering to grant degrees. A person or entity’s non-compliance with Chapter 61, Subchapter G, subjects them to criminal punishment, administrative penalties, and liability for civil penalties and injunctive relief (Tex. Educ. Code § 61.316-319). Furthermore, non-compliance is a violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and subjects the person or entity to the criminal and civil liability imposed under that act (Tex. Educ. Code § 61.320).

It also notes that unauthorized use of the term “university” carries its own criminal liability under Texas Education Code § 61.313.

The institution was given until Friday to confirm in writing that it had “voluntarily, permanently, and immediately ceased” all prohibited activities.

(…) The Texas A&M University System has also issued its own cease-and-desist letter to TexAM, demanding it stop using names and branding that allegedly infringe upon or dilute Texas A&M’s trademarks. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/9/2026)  (Archive)

May 11, 2026 – Lawsuit: OpenAI’s ChatGPT told Florida State gunman to target children for ‘national exposure’

The family of a victim killed in the April 2025 mass shooting at Florida State University has filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming the company’s ChatGPT chatbot enabled the deadly attack.

NBC News reports that Vandana Joshi, widow of Tiru Chabba, one of two people killed in the shooting, has filed the lawsuit in Florida against OpenAI. Chabba died alongside Robert Morales, the university’s dining director. The complaint also names Phoenix Ikner, the accused shooter, as a defendant, citing what it describes as his extensive conversations with ChatGPT.

Breitbart News previously reported that Ikner was in “constant communication” with ChatGPT while planning the attack:

Court records reveal that more than 270 images of ChatGPT conversations are listed as exhibits in the case, though the specific content of these messages has not been publicly disclosed.

OpenAI responded to the allegations by confirming it “identified a ChatGPT account believed to be associated with the suspect” shortly after the shooting occurred. The company stated it “proactively shared this information with law enforcement and cooperated with authorities.”

The lawsuit contends that OpenAI failed to effectively detect a threat in ChatGPT’s exchanges with Ikner, stating the chatbot either defectively failed to connect the dots or was never properly designed to recognize the threat. According to the complaint, Ikner, who was a student at FSU at the time, shared images of firearms he had acquired with ChatGPT. The chatbot then allegedly explained how to use them, telling him the Glock had no safety, that it was meant to be fired quick to use under stress, and advising him to keep his finger off the trigger until he was ready to shoot. The suit claims Ikner began his attack at FSU by following these instructions.

The lawsuit further alleges that ChatGPT told Ikner it is much more likely for a shooting to gain national attention if children are involved, even noting that two to three victims can draw more attention. On the day of the shooting itself, Ikner allegedly asked about what the legal process, sentencing, and incarceration outlook would be. (Read more: Breitbart News, 5/11/2026)  (Archive)

May 11, 2026 – Tulsi Gabbard: “Joe Biden wasn’t calling the shots…and neither was Kamala Harris”

🚨BOMBSHELL from DNI Tulsi Gabbard🎤:

“Joe Biden wasn’t calling the shots… and neither was Kamala Harris.”

The REAL power behind the throne?

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and the Deep State cabal — signing documents with an *autopen* while running the country into the ground.

Unelected insiders and forever-war profiteers pulling the strings the whole time.

This is why America was on the brink. Thank God for President Trump draining the swamp and putting real leadership back in charge! 🇺🇸

May 12, 2026 – Tulsi Gabbard investigates 120 foreign biolabs funded by U.S. government – More than 40 in Ukraine

Oh boy, she’s at it again. 🙂  According to a report within the New York Post, Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is now investigating 120 foreign biolabs that are funded by the U.S. government – potentially involved in ‘gain of function’ or weaponized virus research.  More than 40 of the labs are identified as operating in Ukraine.

Keep in mind, DNI Gabbard recently took control of the CIA development of Artificial Intelligence systems, pulling In-Q-Tel, the CIA-backed venture firm, under the management of ODNI.   Through a series of what seems like well-coordinated moves by Secretary Rubio, CIA Director Ratcliffe and DNI Gabbard, a significant amount of the CIA’s operations is no longer in the dark network.

USAID has been dissolved (Rubio/Ratcliffe); the Directorate of Analysis taken out of CIA and into ODNI (Ratcliffe/Gabbard); the President’s Daily Brief now assembled by the ODNI (Ratcliffe/Gabbard); Artificial Intelligence systems, In-Q-Tel under ODNI management (Ratcliffe/Gabbard), and now Intelligence Community (CIA) biolabs being identified, investigated and potentially removed from operation.

The biolab issue is a current concern given the discoveries of former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director, Anthony Fauci, lying to congress and the American people about funding gain of function research in Wuhan, China.  However, given recent events we might even file this under proactive election integrity measures.

WASHINGTON — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is investigating more than 120 biological laboratories abroad that were funded by US taxpayer dollars for decades, as part of an effort to end potentially risky experiments with viruses pursuant to President Trump’s executive order on so-called “gain-of-function” research.

Gabbard told The Post Monday in a statement that her team is going “to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain and what ‘research’ is being conducted to end dangerous gain-of-function research that threatens the health and wellbeing of the American people and the world.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have,” the spy chief also said.

“Yet despite these obvious dangers, politicians, so-called health professionals, like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of these US-funded and supported biolabs and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth.”

Under new guidance from Gabbard, the US Intelligence Community will review research at all US-funded biolabs, which would include facilities engaged in gain-of-function experiments that could increase the transmissibility of viruses, as well as work for defensive purposes against dangerous pathogens.

Office of the Director of National Intelligence officials noted that the foreign labs extend into more than 30 countries, and several had received funding in the past through a Department of Defense program that sought to dispose of weapons of mass destruction after the end of the Cold War.

More than 40 of the biolabs under review are located in Ukraine — and could “be at risk of compromise” due to Russia’s war, ODNI officials noted. (read more)

Eventually, the world will be shown, that the wars in both Ukraine and Iran, lead back to Obama.

Obama offshored US bioweapon development in 2014, mainly to Ukraine.

Obama is also responsible for Iran’s nuclear program.

Everything leads back to Obama. He gave weapons of mass destruction to CIA/Deep State proxies. Obama is a terrorist that stole US secrets and technology, and put it in the hands of illegitimate Deep State regimes.

This is what it all comes down to. Everything Trump is doing revolves around cleaning up Obama’s mess and foiling their plans to take over the world.

Obama is essentially a Bond villain, and put weapons of mass destruction in the hands of people who sought to hold the world hostage.

May 12, 2026 – GOP Senators: Joe Biden’s DOJ buried newly-released texts of possible Hunter Biden prostitution crimes

(Credit: Eric Thayer/AP)

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under former President Joe Biden (D) buried evidence of possible prostitution crimes linked to the ex-president’s son, Hunter, but those documents have since been released.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson in 2022 asked the DOJ for the documents but were unsuccessful in their query, Just the News reported Monday.

However, they have since obtained those documents.

“The Republican senators say the records — which include text messages between Hunter Biden and the women — show that the government had significant evidence of potential Mann Act violations allegedly committed by Hunter Biden from as early as October 2020,” the article read. “For example, the messages show that Biden, whose father is former President Joe Biden, appeared to have purchased a flight from Los Angeles to an unknown destination for an unidentified woman in 2018.”

The DOJ’s archives website details the Mann Act:

Sections 2421 to 2423 of the Act set forth several offenses including the offense of knowingly transporting any individual, male or female, in interstate or foreign commerce or in any territory or possession of the United States for the purpose of prostitution or sexual activity which is a criminal offense under the federal or state statute or local ordinance.

In a social media post on Monday, Grassley announced he and Johnson had released the records, noting that they “support concerns we raised in our Sept 2020 Biden family report+ show double standard of justice.”

The recent News article also said, “In their September 2020 report on Hunter Biden’s business interests in Ukraine while his father was vice president, the senators pointed to evidence that the younger Biden had paid women who were citizens of Ukraine and Russia. Some of those transactions were allegedly linked to what ‘appears to be an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.’”

The outlet’s chief investigative correspondent, Jerry Dunleavy IV, wrote in a social media post on Monday that “Joe’s pardon of Hunter means he can’t be prosecuted federally for any crimes related to his participation in a Russia-linked escort/prostitution ring — paid for partly & unwittingly (?) by Joe.” (Read more: Breitbart News, 5/12/2026)  (Archive)

May 12, 2026 – John Brennan says there are still “legions” of his allies, Deep State operatives, at DOJ, FBI and CIA

Appearing on MSNBC to talk to Lawfare ally Nicole Wallace, wife of New York Times narrative engineer Michael Schmidt – the guy who received leaks from FBI Director James Comey via Daniel Richman, former CIA Director John Brennan notes there are “legions” of operatives still embedded within the DOJ, FBI and CIA who are working against President Donald Trump.

This is not a surprise as we have noted the Trump administration continues to take apart the tentacles of Lawfare and Intelligence operatives in Main Justice, various U.S. Attorney offices, FBI Headquarters, FBI field offices and various Intelligence Community silos.

Marco Rubio has been working to clean up the National Security Council as well as the State Department operations, including USAID.  Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe have been working on the NSA and CIA collaboratively, and Todd Blanche has been working through the Dept of Justice.  FBI Director Kash Patel has removed about ten percent of the problem in his agency.

The core problem goes back to what we outlined on these pages {GO DEEP} and is not limited to those operatives who remain from the Obama/Biden era.  Some of the problems surface as a result of ‘republican’ voices recommending “sleeper cell” staff and sketchy personnel for positions in the administration. [I’ll put an example below]

One way to tell if the agency head or leader understands the challenge is by paying attention to how they talk about the agency’s mission objective.

Leaders like Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard have openly acknowledged the problem and are actively tackling corruption within their ranks. Even John Ratcliffe has admitted his agency was politically weaponized and has taken steps to address it. There’s still a lot of work ahead, but their actions show visible progress.

People like Pam Bondi and Kash Patel have praised the institutional embeds without drawing attention to the corruption beneath them. Thankfully, Acting AG Todd Blanche seems to be taking a more confrontational approach internally, so maybe Kash Patel will follow suit. This isn’t about style—it’s about results, and there’s an urgent need for action.

To give an example of “sketchy” recommendations and predictable outcomes, I would draw attention to the lesser visible appointment of Morgan Ortagus.  Do you remember this very weirdly worded announcement, two weeks prior to the inauguration?

I have no idea who “them” is referencing in the announcement.

[…] “I’m not doing this for me, I doing it for them”

There were always three options for “them”: (1) the strong republican support people; or (2) people in the Middle East who would be dealing with her; or (3) Stephen Witkoff and Jared Kushner.  Regardless, of who “them” was, it was obvious President Trump was not thrilled by “their” request.

Mrs. Morgan Ortagus is a long time Deep State operative with roots in the U.S. intelligence community and USAID {citation}.  It was very predictable that she would undermine the goals of President Trump and she only lasted six months in the job.  Ortagus was quietly dispatched from her position in June 2025.

CTH predicted {SEE HERE} Mrs. Ortagus would be a big mistake because she was, quite frankly, one of the “legion” insiders referenced by former CIA Director John Brennan.  Ortagus’s entire career profile was/is textbook intelligence operative, likely legacy CIA.

Not coincidentally, former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was removed from his position only a month before Ortagus lost hers.

On the day he was announced CTH said National Security Advisor Mike Waltz would be the first administration member to get the boot, because in the non-pretending world Waltz was a horrible choice just like Ortagus.  Mike Waltz was removed as National Security Advisor in May 2025, {citation} Ortagus was removed as Middle East envoy in June {citation}.

If the goal was to eliminate the Deep State, President Trump couldn’t take on a deeply corrupt Intelligence Community while also appointing its allies. Their close ties to the Intelligence Community made the failures of both Waltz and Ortagus predictable.

That said, behind the veneer of John Brennan’s statement on MSNBC is a guy who realizes the Trump administration has changed the dynamic and the agency systems Brennan is talking about no longer exist; at least they no longer have the same capabilities.

The need for control is a reaction to fear, and Brennan’s fear is both visible and very well founded.

The DOJ and FBI operate under the influence of the Intelligence Community, which ultimately holds the reins. The key figures leading the IC have made changes to the institutions that have significantly reduced the impact of bad actors within the DOJ and FBI.

The key positions are the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of State, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe are the people to watch, and we can tell by the counsel(s) they have put into place that each of them has clear eyes and a steady hand on those critical institutions.

Since mid-year 2025, around the same time Waltz and Ortagus were dispatched, you will note significant changes began surfacing in the National Security Council, the State Dept, the DNI and importantly the CIA.  Some of the changes make headlines, many do not; however, each is important and builds on a larger goal of dismantling a highly weaponized and political intelligence apparatus.

Internationally, what we see in the reaction of allied -or oppositional- governments and their intelligence agencies, is in large part a geopolitical reaction to the consequential changes being made by Rubio, Gabbard and Ratcliffe.  Each building upon a system that fundamentally changes U.S. policy to be in alignment with President Trump.  Each of them should be commended.

Domestically, the accountability developments involving James Comey, John Brennan, John Bolton, Michael Atkinson, Eric Ciaramella and others yet to emerge, stem from the transparency brought by the same trio working upstream from Main Justice and the FBI. The combined intelligence apparatus of the U.S. can cut through the chaff and countermeasures of Lawfare operatives, and I feel optimistic watching them in action.

Again, it’s not just the silo heads that are making a positive impact, it is the personnel decisions they are surrounding themselves with.  The amount of sunlight now coming over the horizon is toxic to the interests of those who organized shadow operations.

As long as Rubio, Ratcliffe and especially Gabbard, keep pushing the truth to the surface; as long as they keep exposing all the corruption that was used to manipulate and weaponize our government; as long as they keep strategizing on ways to declassify evidence former officials buried under false pretenses; then the DOJ, FBI and more importantly We The People, will have information we can use to make decisions.

Ultimately, it is the truth which makes evil enterprise retreat.

May 12, 2026 – There was another recent biolab accident at one of Fauci’s most dangerous gain-of-function animal labs in Montana

NEW: ANOTHER FAUCI BIOLAB ACCIDENT

We just exposed another recent bioagent accident at one of Fauci’s most dangerous animal labs.

And it’s the second accident we exposed at this NIH lab just this year!

We uncovered documents revealing the NIH quietly admitted that an unspecified deadly pathogen was “released, lost, or stolen” from its Rocky Mountain Lab in Montana in February.

In January, we broke the viral news about another NIH lab accident at RML that exposed a staffer to Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, a deadly foreign virus with a 40% fatality rate.

Just last week, we released a shocking whistleblower letter that revealed the alleged details of that dangerous animal lab breach:

An NIH lab staffer was allegedly “bitten by an infected monkey (macaque) that was being tortured (infected and sickened with no pain mitigation).”

The anonymous sources claimed the NIH was in “full coverup mode” about the monkey bite.

And we just blew the lid off yet another shocking scandal at RML:

Animal experimenter Vincent Munster was suspended and allegedly investigated by the FBI for smuggling dangerous viruses into the US from Africa.

Munster is a mad scientist who infects primates, bats and other animals with CCHF, hantavirus, Ebola, and other deadly bioagents.

We were the first to expose Fauci’s funding for the gain-of-function animal tests in Wuhan that likely caused COVID. But the NIH hasn’t learned its lesson.

We are running billboards near RML right now targeting Munster’s deadly animal tests and urging RFK Jr. to shut them down!

Secretary RFK Jr. needs to answer:

How many more dangerous accidents at RML need to happen before you shut it down?

BREAKING:

We just released a bombshell whistleblower report.

A notorious NIH-funded animal experimenter allegedly attempted to smuggle “dozens of vials” of foreign viruses onto US soil.

NIH allegedly went into “full coverup mode.”

But RFK Jr. just confirmed it:

HHS referred NIH-funded mad scientist Vincent Muster to the FBI over the incident.

Kennedy told Laura Loomer:

“I assume he is going to prison.”

Here’s the story:

First, in January, we exposed a lab accident at NIH’s Rocky Mountain Lab in Montana, where Munster worked.

An RML staffer was reportedly exposed to Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever—a deadly foreign virus used by Munster for maximum pain experiments on monkeys, which we’ve been fighting to shut down for years.

Now, we have more details.

This whistleblower letter alleges that the staffer was “bitten by an infected monkey… that was being tortured (infected and sickened with no pain mitigation).”

The anonymous letter alleges that the NIH immediately moved to cover up the incident.

The whistleblower claims RML staff was not informed, and the exposed lab worker was “flown out” to avoid suspicion.

Second, the letter alleges that Vincent Munster was caught attempting to smuggle “dozens of vials in his baggage” on a trip back from Africa in January.

He allegedly lied to customs about the contents of the vials, which the whistleblower claims include viral hemorrhagic fever samples.

The letter states that the NIH covered up the whole incident. It wasn’t public until we broke the story last week.

We were the first to expose Fauci’s funding for the Wuhan animal lab that Covid most likely leaked from, the “smoking gun” emails proving that Fauci’s agency funded EcoHealth’s gain-of-function experiments, and that the US government funded the Wuhan experimenter who became Covid’s likely “Patient Zero.”

Now, we’re uncovering troubling details of a dangerous animal lab accident on US soil and alleged international virus smuggling by NIH-funded animal experimenters.

Stay tuned for more.

May 13, 2026 – Whistleblower: Capitol Police engaged in an ‘intentional and malicious’ Jan. 6 conspiracy to sack Chief Steven Sund

Elements of U.S. Capitol Police knew in advance that Jan. 6 would be a catastrophe that would justify and lead to the firing of Police Chief Steven A. Sund, a whistleblower alleges in an explosive letter to Congress.

The whistleblower report references the first concrete evidence that January 6 was—on some levels—a planned disaster with a goal of sacking Chief Sund, elevating then-Assistant Chief Yogananda D. Pittman, 52, and Deputy Chief Sean P. Gallagher, 45, and consolidating the USCP intelligence division under Democrat control.

“…Evidence reveals that the violence, deaths, injuries, and aftermath of January 6th were not the result of mere intelligence failures or incompetence,” the whistleblower wrote, “but may have stemmed from intentional acts by insiders seeking to remove then-Chief of Police Steven Sund and consolidate control over the USCP and its intelligence functions.”

The whistleblower letter, written by a senior law enforcement official with firsthand knowledge of events in the department prior to, on and after Jan. 6, alleged that senior Capitol Police leaders conspired with Democrats in Congress to create the conditions for a Jan. 6 disaster — and the nearly immediate firing of Sund.

(Clipping from report)

Sund said the implication of the whistleblower report is there was collaboration to engineer his firing prior to Jan. 6.

“It shows there’s some coordination, some consultation taking place in advance,” Sund told Veritas Regnat in an interview. “Think about it. About 48 hours after this text is sent, she [Pittman] is given my job.”

The primary evidence of foreknowledge is a phone message allegedly sent by U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Lawrence J. Cook, 42, to his superior, Deputy Chief Gallagher. Sources said this message had been in the possession of the now-defunct Jan. 6 Select Committee led by Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

The message was again discovered in December 2025 by an investigator for the GOP-controlled House Select Subcommittee on January 6, led by U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.).

“I assert that Sergeant Cook’s January 6th message fundamentally alters the understanding of responsibility for January 6, presenting what I believe is direct evidence of a conspiracy involving USCP personnel and Democratic staff,” the whistleblower wrote.

Two law-enforcement sources told Veritas Regnat that they learned of the Cook-Gallagher message in phone calls they received from Brandon Cockerham—Loudermilk’s deputy chief of staff—on Dec. 1 and 2, 2025. One of the sources said they shed tears of joy after the call, knowing that concrete evidence of a Jan. 6 conspiracy was coming to light. (Read much more: 5/13/2026)  (Archive)

The Justice Department has officially declared war on the radical leftist D.C. Bar’s decades-long abuse of power, filing a bombshell complaint against their disciplinary authorities for illegally targeting federal government attorneys who dared to serve President Donald Trump.

Hamilton P. Fox III (Credit: Facebook)

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Trump DOJ filed the complaint on Wednesday against D.C. Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton P. Fox III, the D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel, and the D.C. Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility.

The filing directly advances President Trump’s Executive Order Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government and his Presidential Memorandum on Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Courts.

It seeks to shut down the D.C. Bar’s unlawful prosecution of former Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark, a Trump loyalist targeted purely for his internal deliberations on 2020 election fraud that remains the subject of ongoing litigation nearly six years later.

Just last week, the DOJ filed a statement of interest supporting former interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, who the D.C. Bar is trying to crucify for daring to challenge DEI brainwashing at Georgetown Law Center.

The Gateway Pundit reported on that outrageous hit job back in March:

“The DC bar’s attempt to target and punish those serving President Trump while refusing to investigate or act against actual ethical violations that were committed by Biden and Obama administration attorneys is a clear indication of this partisan organization’s agenda,” the DOJ told CBS at the time.”

More from the DOJ:

The Justice Department today filed a complaint against D.C. Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton P. Fox III, the D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel, and the D.C. Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility over their improper use of bar discipline to regulate the official actions of Federal Government attorneys.  The filing advances President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government and Presidential Memorandum on Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Courts.  Specifically, the complaint seeks to nullify the D.C. Bar’s unlawful prosecution of former Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark based on internal deliberations relating to potential fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election, which remains the subject of litigation nearly six years later.

“As our complaint and history make clear, the DC Bar has long acted as a blatantly partisan arm of leftist causes. No more,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

May 14, 2026 – FBI announces $200,000 reward for information leading to apprehension of former U.S. Counterintelligence agent charged with espionage for Iran

The FBI Washington Field Office today announced that the FBI is offering a $200,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension and prosecution of Monica Witt, a former U.S. service member and counterintelligence agent who was indicted by a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia in February 2019 on charges of espionage, including transmitting national defense information to the government of Iran.

Witt, a former active-duty U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist and special agent for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, served in the military between 1997 and 2008 before working as a U.S. government contractor until 2010. Her military service and contracting employment provided her access to SECRET and TOP SECRET information relating to foreign intelligence and counterintelligence, including the true names of U.S. Intelligence Community undercover personnel.

In 2013, Witt defected to Iran. According to the indictment, she subsequently provided information to the government of Iran, placing at risk sensitive and classified U.S. national defense information and programs. Witt allegedly intentionally provided information endangering U.S personnel and their families stationed abroad. She also allegedly conducted research on behalf of the Iranian regime to allow them to target her former colleagues in the U.S. government.

Witt’s defection to Iran has benefitted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which has elements responsible for intelligence collection, unconventional warfare, and providing direct support to multiple terrorist organizations targeting U.S. citizens and interests.

While Witt has been indicted for her alleged crimes, she remains at large. The FBI continues to actively work to locate Witt and bring her to justice. “Monica Witt allegedly betrayed her oath to the Constitution more than a decade ago by defecting to Iran and providing the Iranian regime National Defense Information and likely continues to support their nefarious activities,” said Daniel Wierzbicki, special agent in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office’s Counterintelligence and Cyber Division. “The FBI has not forgotten and believes that during this critical moment in Iran’s history, there is someone who knows something about her whereabouts. The FBI wants to hear from you so you can help us apprehend Witt and bring her to justice.”

Anyone who has information about Witt should contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. You can also contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate or submit a tip via tips.fbi.gov.

May 15, 2026 – Tina Peters is granted clemency; Peters posts statement on X and social media responds

Thank you Governor Polis.
I made mistakes, and for those I am sorry. Five years ago I misled the Secretary of State when allowing a person to gain access to county voting equipment. That was wrong. I have learned and grown during my time in prison and going forward I will make sure that my actions always follow the law, and I will avoid the mistakes of the past.

I strongly condemned it when people not connected to me threatened to storm the prison I am in. I myself have faced threats, so, I also want to be clear that I condemn any and all bullying, threats and acts of violence against voters, county clerks, election workers, and other public officials, and concerned citizens like myself.

Upon release, I plan to do my best through legal means to support election integrity and based on my own personal experiences to elevate the cause of prison reform to help ensure the detention system is more fair and equitable for people of all ages. My experiences have given me a perspective that plan to share with others to improve Colorado’s corrections system. I am grateful for a second chance and an earlier release, and I look forward to doing good in the world.

Tina Peters received clemency today from Gov. Jared Polis, and now Jena Griswold needs to answer for her crimes.

Griswold spent years calling demonizing Peters as a criminal who she said compromised voting equipment and threatened Colorado’s elections.

And then Griswold left voting system passwords online.

She said it was a mistake, it was unintentional, the safeguards worked, and everyone was supposed to trust the process.

You do not get to spend years treating one election breach like the end of democracy, then expect everyone to look away when the breach happened under your watch.

Why wasn’t Griswold ever prosecuted?

UPDATE 5/16/2026

(…) Griswold, who is running for Attorney General of Colorado in the 2026 midterms, joined CNN last night to vent her frustrations. While Griswold does mention the Colorado Appeals Court’s decision to order a new sentencing in Peters’ case, the Secretary failed to mention a Colorado state senator, Sonya Jacquez Lewis, who was convicted of the same exact felony as Peters but only sentenced to probation and community service, while Peters, a gold star mother with no prior convictions, was given almost a decade in prison.

Griswold: This sends a message to Trump’s followers that if they break the law, well, they might get off just fine. This sends a message to Donald Trump that if he retaliates hard enough, he’ll be able to get a state to do his bidding. And this tells election officials that however hard we work, some people may just be above the law if they attack American democracy. That’s a dangerous, dangerous message to send the country right now.

May 16, 2026 – British patriots awaken and reject the unfriendly invasion imposed by their government

Hundreds of thousands of British patriots marched in London on Saturday at Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom and the West” march, ending on and Parliament Square outside historic Westminster Abbey. Speakers, including host Glenn Beck and YouTuber Nick Shirley, addressed the massive rally, which was interrupted by chants of “Keir Starmer’s a Wanker” and calls for the Prime Minister to step down.

British patriot leader Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, had been touring the United States for the last two months, meeting with members of Congress and the State Department and giving interviews to the likes of Jack Posobiec, Gen. Mike Flynn, Glenn Beck, Raheem Kassam, and Lara Logan.

Early May, he returned to the UK to organize the sixth “Unite the Kingdom” rally, which began with a mere 5000 attendees on June 1, 2024, and culminated in a massive, million-man march on September 13, 2025, three days after the murder of Charlie Kirk by a far-left antifa trans furry activist in Utah.

The recent march comes on the heels of a crushing election defeat of PM Keir Starmer’s Labor Party in local elections on May 7, the resignation of Starmer’s top adviser, Morgan McSweeney, on Feb. 8 in the Peter Mandelson-Jeffrey Epstein scandal, and increased pressure for Starmer to step down from his own party.

May 17, 2026 – Austin is under siege: 10-12 random shootings in 24 hours – Teens with stolen guns terrorize city

Austin Under Siege: 10-12 Random Shootings in <24 Hours – Teens with Stolen Guns Terrorize City, 4 Injured (1 Critical), Shelter-in-Place Chaos Ensues

In a city already reeling from prior violence, Austin just endured what looks like a coordinated weekend rampage: suspects firing at homes, apartments, businesses, and two fire stations. No motive announced. Random victims. Vehicles stolen and swapped like a bad action movie—dark Hyundai Sonata with a smashed window, gold sedans, Kias, Mazdas.

Two Hispanic males (15 & 17) are now in custody after a chase. Third suspect still loose—Manor area (Presidential Meadows, etc.) on high alert. APD & Mayor Watson briefed: lock doors, don’t leave cars unlocked, eyes open.

This isn’t “random” in a vacuum. It’s a symptom—youth crime exploding, soft policies, stolen guns circulating. Austin’s “progressive” experiment meets street-level reality. Prayers for the injured. Gratitude to APD/SWAT for the rapid response. But questions remain: How did teens access this firepower? Why the fire stations? What’s the full network?

Stay vigilant, Texas. Secure your families. Report tips—reward is possible. Law enforcement is hunting.

Watch the official briefing below 👇

UPDATE: 5/18/2026

UPDATE: AUSTIN’S JUVENILE JIHAD—14-, 15-, & 16-YEAR-OLDS ALLEGEDLY UNLEASH 12 RANDOM SHOOTINGS—HOMES, PEDESTRIANS, AND FIRE STATIONS RIDDLED. FOUR INJURED. ONE CRITICAL. THIS IS WHAT “COMPASSIONATE” JUSTICE BREEDS.

Austin Police just nabbed the third teen in a weekend rampage that turned South Austin into a free-fire zone. Stolen guns. Stolen cars swapped mid-spree. Shelter-in-place orders. Even firefighters—first responders sworn to protect—took fire. No motive, police say. Just pure, random predation by kids who shouldn’t even be behind the wheel without a learner’s permit.

Here’s the scholarly gut-punch: this isn’t an “isolated incident.” It’s the logical endpoint of a juvenile justice experiment that swapped deterrence for diversion, consequences for counseling, and accountability for “restorative” rhetoric. Travis County DA José Garza’s office has long championed pre-trial diversions, record expungements, and community healing over prosecution for youthful offenders—policies rooted in noble intent but empirically disastrous when violent crime is involved. Deterrence theory (from Cesare Beccaria’s 1764 Dei Delitti e Delle Pene to modern meta-analyses by the National Academy of Sciences) is brutally clear: swift, certain, proportionate punishment shapes behavior. Leniency signals permission. When teens face adult-level malice but juvenile-level slap-on-the-wrist processing, the social fabric doesn’t bend—it snaps.

Parents MIA. Schools are churning out unmoored ideologues instead of disciplined citizens. A culture that romanticizes “youthful rebellion” while ignoring the feral vacuum left by broken homes and zero-tolerance-for-zero-accountability policies. These aren’t misunderstood kids; they’re embryonic predators testing boundaries a civilized society should have hardened long ago. Charge them as adults. Release their names. Bill the parents for every bullet hole and ambulance ride. Anything less is performative compassion that endangers the innocent.

Real engagement isn’t rage-clicks—it’s the dawning realization that order isn’t optional. Austin (and every city watching) is the lab rat. The results are bleeding in the streets.

What’s the breaking point? When do we admit “progressive” juvenile justice has failed the very children it claims to save—and the rest of us who pay the price?

Drop your unfiltered take below.

History is watching.

Revealed: One of the Austin Shooting Spree Suspects is an Illegal with an ICE Hold

The Austin Police Department says at least three suspects were involved in as many as 12 shootings since Saturday.

Two of the shootings were at fire stations in South Austin.

At least four people were reported injured.

Police announced that 17-year-old Cristian Mondragon has been charged with six felonies, with more charges possible, including: Two counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle; Two counts of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle; Theft of firearms; Evading arrest with a motor vehicle.

The two other suspects are minors and will be processed through a different judicial system.

While in court, prosecutors noted that Mondragon is not a U.S. citizen and currently has an ICE hold.

May 18, 2026 – CIA officer is arrested by FBI SWAT team; search of his home finds $40 million in gold bars, $2 million in cash and 30 Rolex watches

David Rush (Credit: Alexandria Sheriff’s Office)

In the annals of Deep State WTF-ery, is there a stranger case than CIA officer David Rush turning up with $40-million in 303 one-kilogram gold bars, plus $2-million in cash, plus a stash of 30 mostly Rolex watches? Well, yeah, the stranger story is how the guy got hired by the CIA in the first place.

Rush was arrested on Monday, May 18, by an FBI SWAT team at his home in Loudoun County, VA. Agents searched the house all day long and found the stash. Rush is currently charged with theft of public money and allegedly falsifying his military and academic credentials to obtain federal employment benefits, including roughly $77,000 in improper military leave pay. He’s scheduled to make a federal court appearance in Alexandria today.

Rush first applied for a job at the CIA in March 2006. He claimed to have a bachelor’s degree in math from Clemson University and a master’s from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). He was rejected. He reapplied later that same year. Bumped again. He reapplied again in 2009, adding a new credential: that he’d been a US Navy test pilot and flight trainer. This time, he was hired.

Rush’s college credentials were found to be false, but it is unclear when that was discovered. Since he included them in his two earlier 2006 failed applications, why were they not flagged in his successful 2009 application? His claim of being a US Navy pilot was also found to be false (he was an information systems tech in his Navy service). The FBI affidavit unsealed recently details the pattern of lies across all applications.

Understand that CIA vetting procedures are supposed to be exceedingly rigorous. The process is stressful and invasive — many candidates drop out or are weeded out. The background check involves interviews with practically everybody who knows the applicant going back decades, his criminal history, work, financial history, education, military service. The applicant gets a polygraph exam. Even after getting hired, monitoring continues.

Rush was hired at the very start of the Obama admin; Leon Panetta was the newly appointed CIA Director. Wouldn’t you like to hear him ‘splain how David Rush managed to get hired? Was somebody smoothing his way in? Rush rose to become a senior executive service (SES) officer with a top-secret (TS/SCI) security clearance. His exact duties, the division he worked for, his day-to-day responsibilities have not been disclosed.

Rush allegedly requested the gold and foreign currency from the CIA for “work-related expenses” between November 2025 and March 2026. The agency later could not account for the assets or locate records explaining their official purpose. A search of a storage locker at CIA connected to Rush turned up only a small amount of the requisitioned cash. (Read more: Clusterfuck Nation, 5/29/2026)  (Archive)

May 19, 2026 – Raffensperger fails to secure runoff spot in Republican primary for Georgia governor

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger failed Tuesday night to clinch enough votes for one of the two spots in the runoff for the Republican primary for Georgia governor, losing to Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and health care executive Rick Jackson.

Raffensperger secured just 14% of the vote, according to the Associated Press, compared to Jones’ 37% and Jackson’s 34%. Jones is considered the favorite to win the nomination after President Donald Trump endorsed his campaign.

May 20, 2026 – U.S. indicts Cuba’s Raúl Castro for murder of Americans 30 years ago

Raúl Castro (Credit: Ismael Francisco/AP)

Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche on Wednesday announced that Cuba’s nonagenarian communist dictator Raúl Castro has been indicted over his role in the killing of four Americans in February 1996.

Speaking  at the Freedom Tower in Miami, Florida, acting AG Blanche announced that Castro and five co-defendants have been charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, as well as other charges including destruction of aircraft and four individual counts of murder.

“My message today is clear, the United States and President Trump does not — and will not — forget its citizens,” acting AG Blanche said.

“President Trump is committed to restoring a very simple but important principle: If you kill Americans we will pursue you, no matter who you are, what title you hold — and in this case, no matter how much time has passed,” he emphasized.

The charges stem from an April indictment by a U.S. grand jury in Florida that was unsealed on Wednesday, May 20, and are related to Castro and the other co-defendants’ involvement in the shooting of two civilian planes belonging to the Miami-based anti-communist charity organization Brothers to the Rescue in 1996, which killed four Americans.

U.S. Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL) explained during the press conference that Castro faces up to life imprisonment on charges of conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals.

Castro, who allegedly “retired” from ruling Cuba in 2018, has remained the sole true dictator of the island nation since he succeeded his late brother Fidel Castro in the late 2000s. The indictment marks the first time in the nearly 70 years that the Castro regime has been in power that senior members of the communist regime have been charged in the U.S. for acts of violence resulting in the deaths of American citizens.

February 2026 marked the 30th anniversary of the murder of Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre, Mario de la Peña, and Pablo Morales — four American members of Brothers to the Rescue. The group carried out humanitarian airplane missions during the 1990s balsero (“rafter”) migrant crisis, rescuing Cubans adrift at sea as they desperately attempted to flee from communism.

May 20, 2026 – Rep. Tim Burchett warns GOP he’ll “embarrass” colleagues if Trump agenda stalls

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) is done playing nice.

In a fiery interview, the Tennessee congressman made it crystal clear that patience inside the Republican conference is wearing thin as key elements of President Donald Trump’s America First agenda remain bogged down in Washington gridlock.

Burchett blasted the slow pace of Congress and warned fellow Republicans that if they keep dragging their feet on critical legislation, including election integrity measures such as the SAVE America Act, they’re going to have a very uncomfortable time.

Burchett: If we listen to what President Trump proposes, and in his cuts and things, I think we would be ahead everywhere. But we’re not. We’re running our own little game, and that’s going to cost us. I believe the redistricting has helped us, mainly a Trump initiative.

The price of gasoline, honestly, I think is what people are going to be going to the polls about, either yay or nay, wherever it is. They have a very short memory that it was higher under Biden than it is even now. But with the media constantly bombarding them with all that, you’re not going to get that message.

So people are upset, and they have a right to be. I just wish we would follow President Trump’s initiative from day one and stop with all this nonsense.

You know, it’s like DOGE. I’m chairman of the DOGE Committee, and it’s just like pulling teeth to get any cost-saving measures through these committees.

But I’m just a little different. I don’t work for anybody up here. I work for the good people of Tennessee. And so I don’t care if I tick off every chairman up here. I don’t care. I’m going to embarrass them if they don’t start moving our legislation.

May 20, 2026 – DOJ indicts U.S Attorney who supported Jack Smith prosecuting Trump in the Mar-a-Lago case

Last weekend former FBI Director James Comey said there were multiple officials remaining within the DOJ and FBI who were actively working to continue the weaponization of the agencies against President Donald Trump.  When asked about it earlier today, President Trump said Acting AG Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel would root them out and deal with the issue.

Hours later the Dept of Justice released and indictment {SEE HERE} against Managing Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Fort Pierce Branch, Carmen M. Lineberger. Asst USAO Lineberger was caught downloading classified files from the Jack Smith case to her personal email and labeling them as recipes so she could leak them to Lawfare resistance members.

According to FBI Director Kash Patel, “This afternoon, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump has been charged with stealing the confidential investigation documents. Carmen Lineberger allegedly emailed the confidential material to her own personal email, disguising them as dessert recipes to conceal them from record searches. Lineberger is charged with four felony counts in the indictment. This FBI will not hesitate to bring to account those who violated the trust of the American public in an investigation that should’ve never been brought to begin with.” {link}

The files Ms. Lineberger is accused of stealing, relate to the Jack Smith case files from the Mar-a-Lago investigation that Judge Aileen Cannon previously sealed.  [Link Below] It appears attorney Carmen Lineberger was in the process of covering her tracks when she was discovered downloading the material and transmitting it outside the U.S. Attorney offices.  {INDICTMENT HERE}

After Special Counsel Jack Smith was dispatched by Judge Aileen Cannon, his team continued to organize materials to frame the hit against an incoming Trump administration.  Judge Cannon calls out this wrongdoing as part of her ruling to keep all the records sealed.  [Ruling pdf Here]

“While it is true that former special counsels have released final reports at the conclusion of their work,” Cannon wrote, “it appears they have done so either after electing not to bring charges at all or after adjudications of guilt by plea or trial. The Court strains to find a situation in which a former special counsel has released a report after initiating criminal charges that did not result in a finding of guilt.”

May 20, 2026 – Owner of day care in viral Nick Shirley video charged as part of $4.6M fraud scheme

A woman allegedly tied to Minnesota’s massive “Feeding Our Future” scandal has been charged in a daycare fraud scheme after being featured in a viral video by influencer Nick Shirley, authorities said.

She is accused of pocketing millions of dollars meant for children’s meals.

Fahima Egeh Mahamud was charged Wednesday with wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States, according to court documents.

Earlier this year, Mahamud was indicted for her alleged role in the initial $250 million “Feeding Our Future” scheme.

Prosecutors allege she enrolled Future Leaders Early Learning — a Minneapolis day care where she served as CEO — into the federal child nutrition program, falsely claiming to serve thousands of meals at her childcare center.

In addition to her involvement in the nutrition program fraud, Mahamud was federally charged Wednesday with a secondary scheme to defraud the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), which provides day care assistance to low-income families.

Between October 2022 and December 2025, she allegedly submitted over 13,000 fraudulent claims to CCAP totaling approximately $4.6 million.

Prosecutors state the claims were fraudulent because she falsely certified that she had collected mandatory co-payments from families, which is a material requirement for federal reimbursement.

The Future Leaders Early Learning center was featured in Shirley’s viral video, FOX 9 Minneapolis reported, which showed him visiting apparently empty, Somali-run childcare centers in and around Minneapolis while alleging widespread fraud. (Read more: New York Post, 5/20/2026)  (Archive)

May 20, 2026 – Environmental Defense Fund is a far-left slush fund for Democrat super PACs, Congressional Dem campaigns, and RINO campaigns

MAJOR HIGH PRIORITY NEWS ALERT: I’ve uncovered a massive financial boondoggle in which the Federal government continues to fund the Environmental Defense Fund, a radical far-left environmental organization that is linked to Code Pink and is raking in nearly $300 million a year in revenue and is spending vast amounts of money all over the globe and in the United States for radicalized environmental organizations. Even worse, the political action committees (PACs) for the Environmental Defense Fund are pouring huge amounts of money into far-left Democrat super PACs, the campaigns of Congressional Democrats and RINO GOP campaigns that oppose President Trump and the Trump administration.

Code Pink recently posted on Instagram a video where they called on the Environmental Defense Fund to get involved in their organized effort to stop Kevin O’Leary from constructing a data center in Utah (Screenshot 1).

The Environmental Defense Fund is currently receiving $13,435,283 in funding from the Federal government.

According to their 2024 IRS filings, the Environmental Defense Fund reported assets of $391,659,124. The organization also reported revenue of $298,689,286 and expenses of $295,808,792 in 2024. The Environmental Defense Fund spends millions of dollars on outrageous executive salaries and benefits.

The President of EDF, Frederic D. Krupp received $1,238,682 in salary and benefits in the most recent reported year. Other top executives receive pay packages from $312,000 to 628,000.

Screenshot 4 shows a portion of the endless stream of massive campaign contributions made by the Environmental Defense Action Fund PAC.

This initial first report contains just a sliver of the vast financial entanglements of the Environmental Defense Fund, its global operations and its political financial influence peddling.

May 21, 2026 – DOJ: 15 in Minnesota charged with allegedly running fraud schemes targeting $90 million

The Department of Justice has charged 15 people in Minnesota with allegedly running fraud schemes that targeted more than $90 million in taxpayer money.

Colin McDonald, assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, said:

Today we are announcing criminal charges against 15 defendants in Minnesota for fraud schemes that targeted over 90 million in taxpayer dollars.

Let me be clear up front about something. This is not the end of our work in Minnesota. This is not the end of the beginning of our work in Minnesota. This is the beginning of our work in Minnesota. The fraud here in Minnesota is shocking.

Our cases today involve seven different state managed Medicaid programs that have been systematically pilfered by fraudsters who treated Minnesota-run programs as their personal piggy bank.

One of the programs has been completely shut down because there’s no money left. It’s all gone. That was Minnesota state-run housing stabilization services program designed to help the homeless find and maintain housing. It was estimated in 2020 that it would cost only about $2.5 million a year to fund this program, but it ended up costing almost 50 times that much, over $104 million by 2024 due to fraud. And because of all the fraud, Minnesota had to shut the program down in 2025 and now these services no longer exist for these vulnerable homeless populations.

The same trends exist for other Minnesota-run taxpayer-funded programs. An autism program that cost the taxpayer $600,000 just six years ago skyrocketed to over $400 million. And to be sure that number is not driven by supply and demand, it is not driven by health care or charity, it is fraud.

May 21, 2026 – DNC Autopsy Report is released; Dems are caught in an “anger trap” over Trump

Democrats have spent nearly a decade in fight mode against President Trump.

And some in the party worry that they may remain trapped there.

An autopsy released by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Thursday underscored the point, saying that Democrats relied too heavily on negative partisanship and became too dependent on attacks on Trump in their messaging to voters.

The report also stated that “anti-Trump sentiment” has its limitations in terms of achieving electoral success.

As they were hammering Trump in their anger, Democrats did not provide a vision to lure voters to their side or an argument for what they would do with power.

This week at the 2026 IDEAS Conference hosted by the Center for American Progress, anger was also displayed by a series of Democratic speakers, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is a front-runner in the 2028 presidential race.

He and others spoke mostly about fighting the president and his party, a message that Democrats caution will fire up the base but may not be enough to win over independents, and thus, elections.

“Trump is the best base mobilizer for Democrats right now. But I think there is a broad understanding that the clock is ticking on how much longer Democrats can rely on polarization because of Trump to galvanize our voters,” said Democratic strategist Joel Payne, highlighting the problem.

In a Substack post this week titled “Can D’s control their fury,” Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine also wondered whether those in his party could move past the anger in the past few election cycles.

After attending the IDEAS Conference this week, Turrentine said he was “stunned by how consumed speakers and moderators were by raw fury against Donald Trump’s administration.”

“Time and again, they looked and sounded angry, no matter the topic, talked incessantly about losing our democracy and the country being genuinely destroyed,” Turrentine wrote in the post.

“The danger I worry about for my party leadership is that post-Virginia Supreme Court, and post-Voting Rights Act, inside the Beltway and on BlueSky, we are becoming blinded again by our fury,” he added. (Read more: The Hill, 5/23/2026)  (Archive)

May 22, 2026 – Southern Poverty Law Center received millions of taxpayer dollars to spread their material K-12 schools

May 23, 2026 – Feds subpoena Hasan Piker, Medea Benjamin over Cuba trip and violating U.S. sanctions laws

Federal officials have served subpoenas to Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker and CodePink cofounder Susan Medea Benjamin as part of a wider investigation into whether U.S. organizations and leaders violated U.S. laws and sanctions in supporting Cuba’s communist regime, Fox News Digital has learned.

Piker and Benjamin are among those caught in a federal inquiry into whether activists who traveled to Cuba in March violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island. The administrative subpoenas were sent to the pair by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.

The administrative subpoenas — called “Requests for Information,” or RFI — seek financial, logistical and communications information revolving around trips the two widely bragged about making to the island nation in March with delegations of the “Nuestra América Convoy,” or “Our America Convoy,” from a global network of communist sympathizers, activists and influencers who brought supplies to the country’s ruling Communist Party of Cuba, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The investigation is part of a broader effort by officials at Treasury, State and Justice departments to curb malign foreign influence operations inside the United States, particularly activities tied to support for political violence, extremist movements or acts the U.S. government classifies as terrorism. The scrutiny reflects growing concern among federal authorities and lawmakers over whether foreign actors and aligned organizations are attempting to shape American political discourse, mobilize activists, sow discord and normalize rhetoric that could encourage violence or undermine U.S. national security interests.

According to a Fox News Digital investigation, Singham has pumped $278 million into nonprofit groups that have pushed pro-China, pro-Cuba, anti-U.S. narratives and street protests for almost a decade, since his marriage in February 2017 to CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, who is also being investigated for her role in the March trip. CodePink received $1.33 million from Singham after he married Evans.

In mid-March, organizations in the Singham network — from the Venceremos Brigade to People’s Forum, a hub for communist causes in New York City — were leaders of the Nuestra American Convoy, which included an estimated 650 delegates from 33 countries and 120 organizations. The organizations included Democratic Socialists of America, a U.S. nonprofit that promotes Piker as a headline member.

The investigation by the Office of Foreign Assets Control is part of a broader dragnet that includes as many as 40 American citizens who joined foreign nationals, including a controversial Brazil activist, Thiago Avila, who are part of a global network of anti-U.S. Marxists, communists and socialists. Additional subpoenas are expected.

The administrative subpoenas mark a serious escalation by the Trump administration against a far-left nonprofit activist network that has spent years defending communist regimes, from Cuba to China, while presenting its work as humanitarian aid, anti-war organizing and “solidarity” with people “oppressed” by the “imperialist” U.S “colonial power.”

Hasan Piker, CodePink, and Ilhan Omar’s daughter Isra Hirsi flew to Cuba on a so-called “humanitarian convoy” — and stayed in a 5-star hotel with its own generator while the entire country sat in the dark during Cuba’s worst energy crisis in 67 years.

Hasan told his audience the U.S. government “forces” Americans to stay in luxury hotels in Cuba. That’s not what the law says. The Cuban Assets Control Regulations (31 CFR § 515.209 and § 515.210) prohibit Americans from staying at properties owned by the Cuban government or military — they don’t require five-star accommodations. We pulled the actual federal code. The receipts don’t lie.

Meanwhile, Isra Hirsi — the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar — joined a delegation organized with help from Mariela Castro (Raúl Castro’s daughter), met with regime officials, and posted she was “honored to make history.” But where’s that energy for the people in her mother’s own district? Minnesota was ground zero for the Feeding Our Future fraud — roughly $1 billion stolen from programs meant to feed children. Where’s the convoy for them?

UPDATE 5/25/2026

Hasan Piker ADMITTED on stream that the Cuban government reached out through the embassy to his “middle man” with a special offer:

“If reliable internet is the only thing stopping Hasan from coming to Cuba, we can make it happen.”

He said: “The Cuban government actually hit my contact from the embassy… well not me, there’s a middle man there.”

This was during planning for the “Nuestra América Convoy” the activist trip where Hasan and CodePink delivered aid but stayed in nice hotels with power & internet while Cubans dealt with massive blackouts.

Now both Hasan and Medea Benjamin have been subpoenaed by the U.S. Treasury (OFAC) over potential sanctions violations and coordination with the Cuban regime.

The clip makes it crystal clear: this wasn’t just independent humanitarian work. The government wanted him there badly enough to solve his streaming problems.

He’s their asset.

May 23, 2026 – CIA is accused of illegally spying on Tulsi Gabbard and interfering with DNI investigations

FBI Director Kash Patel, DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on March 18, 2026

A bombshell new report from investigative journalist Catherine Herridge reveals how the CIA has stonewalled Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and spied on her team’s efforts to investigate public scandals and government corruption.

(…) As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) fired off a preservation letter to the CIA, demanding that all existing and future records related to the taken items be preserved. A Director of National Intelligence spokeswoman later denied that a “raid” occurred as the claim circulated.

However, James Erdman never claimed that the CIA raided Gabbard’s office. Instead, during his opening statement before the Homeland Security Committee on May 13, Erdman, a career CIA Operations Officer, testified to several key points regarding the CIA’s ” refusal to comply with lawful oversight” and “documented efforts to circumvent oversight.”

He told the committee that the CIA not only refused to comply with the ODNI Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG) investigations into the COVID-19 origins, anomalous health incidents, and unidentified anomalous phenomena, but also retaliated against analysts who did not support their conclusions. “The CIA illegally monitored the computer and phone usage of DIG personnel, their investigations, and contact with whistleblowers,” which “significantly impacted Director Gabbard’s implementation of several EOs issued during this administration and tasked to the DIG,” he said.

Additionally, “when the DIGs ceased operations, the CIA also took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKUltra files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard.”

WATCH:

Catherine Herridge highlighted part of Erdman’s testimony in a new report, including additional testimony from Erdman regarding Directed Energy attacks that have caused Anomalous Health Incidents, including Havana Syndrome, which are being investigated by the DIG team.

Based on my reporting, it was well known in national security circles that a CIA investigative unit had sent emails to several members of DNI Gabbard’s Director’s Initiatives Group — or DIG — demanding they come in for questioning.

While the CIA unit routinely conducts polygraphs and investigations, the timing of the request was concerning. It did not appear to be part of a standard security clearance review.

The alleged CIA monitoring of the Director’s Initiatives Group was described as tracking “every keystroke” on their government computers and devices. While there is no expectation of privacy on government computers and users often see a log-on warning, it did not appear to be routine counterintelligence work by the CIA.

In recent testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen @RandPaul, CIA Senior Operations Officer and whistleblower James Erdman III alleged that the CIA illegally spied on the computers and phones of the Director’s Initiatives Group, along with their investigations and contacts with whistleblowers.

NOTE: The DIG investigated the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, the origins of COVID-19, Crossfire Hurricane, the Biden Administration’s domestic surveillance, Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI), and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.

Erdman provided detailed testimony about the the DIG’s investigations into Directed Energy attacks, also known as Havana Syndrome or Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs):

“This was not the first time the CIA appears to have been monitoring DIG communications. Individuals involved in our AHI investigation discovered third parties were listening in on secure phone calls at Intelligence Community facilities. In one instance, it was during a conversation with a whistleblower.

These incidents were also reported in counterintelligence channels, and DNI IT experts confirmed that reproducing what occurred on the secure phone calls required an IT engineering work order. Someone had to request a technical change to the infrastructure.”

During its investigation of AHIs, my reporting reveals additional allegations that the CIA denied DNI Gabbard’s investigators access to key analysts and officials still working in the CIA building, as well as relevant, highly classified intelligence held in compartmented programs.

I also understand that requests to review internal CIA correspondence/communications regarding the Biden-era AHI intelligence assessments — including whether the intelligence was manipulated and the findings altered — were blocked.

The Biden-era Intelligence Community assessments concluded it was unlikely that a novel weapon or foreign adversary was responsible for the debilitating brain injuries suffered by spies, diplomats, military personnel, and some civilians — injuries that can lead to brain cell atrophy and death.

As I reported in February, a DIG report and findings into Directed Energy Attacks or AHIs (Anomalous Health Incidents) were finalized and prepped for release, but there was strong Intelligence Community resistance to revealing it.

The report is still not public and this week, @JudicialWatch sued the federal government for the records.

Based on my reporting, the DIG — DNI Gabbard’s task force into weaponization and politicization — found that the analytic tradecraft used by the Intelligence Community under the Biden administration was “defective.”

I also understand the DIG’s recommendations include the recall of the 2023 and 2024 Intelligence Community Assessments on AHIs.

DNI Gabbard committed to a new review of so-called Havana Syndrome after our 2025 independent investigation. Our reporting revealed that brain injuries suffered by U.S. spies, diplomats, military operatives, and civilians can cause progressive damage to the brain and nervous system.
In response to my new reporting and questions, an ODNI official said, “We have confirmed that the Intelligence Community Inspector General is aware of the allegations and is working, alongside ODNI and interagency partners, to uncover the truth about any potential wrongdoing.”

A CIA official said the agency “has been and will continue to be supportive of any IG investigation into past conduct by CIA on this issue.”

The official disputed allegations that the agency had frustrated the investigation by DNI Gabbard’s team: “CIA worked to provide the DIG with access to information responsive to the Executive Orders prior to its disbandment by the DNI.”

On AHIs or Havana Syndrome, the CIA official said the CIA Director “…has been clear, including in sworn testimony before Congress, that CIA defers to ODNI leading an interagency analytic review of AHIs.”

Thank you for supporting independent journalism.

Senator Rand Paul, Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, shared the report, condemning the illegal spying and interference by the CIA, adding, “We’ve got to get to the bottom of what they’re hiding.”

May 26, 2026 – VP Vance tells story of elderly man who died from neglect as Medicaid fraudster got rich neglecting him

Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday told a horrifying story about how fraud affects the most vulnerable among us while speaking at an anti-fraud roundtable, revealing that an elderly man was killed due to a Medicaid fraudster’s neglect.

Vance, the Chairman of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, the Task Force Vice Chair, held a roundtable on Tuesday with over a dozen State Attorneys General to discuss the Trump Administration’s nationwide crackdown on federal benefits fraud.

(…) In a recent indictment in Minnesota, Vance said, a man who was being reimbursed by the Medicaid program to provide services to elderly patients, “was providing nothing, no services, no help, no check-ins.”

Because of this, one of his patients under his watch died “after months of being neglected by the caretaker who was getting reimbursed by the American people.”

Still, one day before the man died, the fraudster submitted another reimbursement for “services he never provided for a man he never cared for.”

“That man lived his final moments on this earth neglected, while a fraudster got rich by providing services that he never actually provided. That’s what we’re trying to stop, ladies and gentlemen. That’s what we have to fight back against,” Vance told reporters.

May 26, 2026 – Mamdani announces plans to begin seizing and redistributing private property

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani kicked off his plan to “fix” the city’s affordability crisis with his official housing policy agenda, titled “Block by Block,” under which one of the first priorities is to allow the government to seize property from owners deemed “negligent” and redistribute it to so-called “responsible stewards,” a category that includes anyone from land trusts, nonprofits, or even tenants themselves.

“Through our new citywide campaign, Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City,” Mamdani announced. “When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

Mamdani: The rental ripoff hearings were critical in both underscoring the urgency of this work—we all understand this and yet in New York City the longer you deal with the problem that remains unsolved the more intellectual it starts to feel. It is as if it is a part of life. But when you sit across the table from a tenant who shows you a video of a mother with a young child who is disabled and how that mother has to carry that child in her bare hands every day from the school bus up the steps of the apartment building because that elevator is broken, you leave that room with an understanding of how they need to move to follow-up up on code violations.

In other words, despite Mamdani’s claims that this time his own version of socialism will be different, it appears to be heading down the same familiar path, one that students of history expected upon Mamdani’s victory.

Government redistribution of private property, however, is not the only pillar of Mamdani’s “Block by Block” agenda. He has also vowed to fast-track the construction of low-income and government-subsidized housing, while promising to impose price controls on those units that would limit rent to just a quarter of a tenant’s income.

May 27, 2026 – E. Jean Carroll faces investigation for perjury when saying under oath she had no outside source paying her legal fees

(…) On Wednesday, it was reported that the Justice Department was investigating whether Carroll perjured herself when she said under oath that no outside source was paying her legal fees.

E. Jean Carroll told then-Trump attorney Alina Habba under oath that no one was helping her pay her legal fees.

However, it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman was bankrolling Carroll’s legal fees.

On Thursday, the US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois said E. Jean Carroll is not the target of investigation in Chicago.

“In light of wide-spread reporting and intense media and public interest into the E. Jean Carroll matter in New York, the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office can confirm that it has not opened—and has never opened—a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll. Any claim to the contrary is categorically false,” US Attorney Andrew Boutros said.

CBS News reported:

The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into a nonprofit run by billionaire Reid Hoffman that funded a portion of author E. Jean Carroll’s civil litigation against President Trump, several sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

The investigation, which is being led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago, is looking into possible crimes including money laundering, conspiracy and obstruction, the sources said.

CBS News could not immediately learn what prompted the investigation or determine the legal theory of the case. Hoffman could not be immediately reached for comment.

On Wednesday evening, a source familiar with the matter told CBS News that the investigation was focused on whether Carroll had committed perjury during a deposition in connection with her civil lawsuits against Mr. Trump in which she alleged he had sexually abused and defamed her.

On Thursday, however, that source followed up and said Carroll is not the target of the investigation, which is focused on funding that Hoffman’s nonprofit, American Future Republic, provided to help cover some of her legal team’s expenses.

E. Jean Carroll may be the target of a separate investigation.

Carroll previously said that during her deposition, she ‘forgot’ she received funding from Reid Hoffman.

(Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 5/28/2026) (Archive)

E Jean Carroll being investigated for crimes, as likely are entities or charities tied to Reid Hoffmann given that the investigation is being run out of Chicago.

Hoffmann funded Carroll’s Lawfare suit against President Trump.

So I’ll say something similar to what I just said about Fidelity funding Barfare against Todd Blanche:

So basically, LinkedIn is funding nonsense like Carroll’s suit.

Companies (or their principals) are making money off ordinary Americans only to turn around and use it to try to thwart the political choices made by ordinary Americans.

Meanwhile, you get lectures about DEMOCRACY.

This is bigger than people realize.

E. Jean Carroll is eventually going to go to prison for participating in a “conspiracy” to try and prevent Trump from running for president again.

“The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into E Jean Caroll, the former magazine columnist who accused Donald Trump of sexual assault, according to reports.
The DOJ investigation will focus on whether Carroll committed perjury in her civil lawsuits against the president, sources told CNN and ABC News.”

Perjury charges?

I think Trump is going to win his appeals against her court awarded judgments.

“Earlier this month, a federal appeals court rejected Trump’s attempts to rehear his arguments against Carroll, who has accused the president of repeatedly defaming her.”

“The Department of Justice then announced plans to intervene — and stepped in on the president’s behalf in his appeal to the Supreme Court.”

Why would the DOJ step in on Trump’s behalf, in his appeal to the Supreme Court?

Sounds like the DOJ has some solid evidence.

What was E. Jean Carroll caught lying about?

“Federal prosecutors are looking at a 2022 videotaped deposition statement in which Carroll said that she did not get any outside funding for her lawsuit against Trump. It was later made public that billionaire Reid Hoffman had covered some of Carroll’s expenses and legal fees.”

Did you catch that?

She lied about who was funding her lawsuits.

E. Jean Carroll is NOT the “real target.”

Who is?

Reid Hoffman.

Do you know why Reid Hoffman paid E. Jean Carroll to accuse Trump of rape in a defamation lawsuit?

Reid Hoffman was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein.

“Reid Hoffman had a documented relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, meeting him multiple times between 2013 and 2016, years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction as a registered sex offender.”

“Hoffman visited Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, in November 2014, and hosted Epstein at a 2015 dinner in Palo Alto.”

The billionaire cofounder of Linkedin, was friends with Epstein, emailed him a lot and visited Epstein island, where underage children were sexually abused and tortured.

Could that be why Reid Hoffman was desperate to prevent Trump from running for president again?

E. Jean Carroll lied about her connections to Reid Hoffman and then when they were exposed, she claimed she had no communications with him at all.

Do you think that’s true?

What do you want to bet, that the DOJ is in control of evidence, that Hoffman was coordinating with Carroll and she lied about that too?

FISA goes both ways.

Military intelligence captures all forms of electronic data.

Follow the timeline.

E. Jean Carroll publicly accuses Trump of rape in a book she is pushing back in June 2019.

Then one month later, in July 2019, Epstein gets caught by surprise and arrested in New York.

Panic.

Guess when Reid Hoffman first established his “nonprofit” that funded E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit against Trump?

“Reid Hoffman established the nonprofit American Future Republic in 2019, with specific records indicating its founding date as October 2019.”

“The organization was created as a left-of-center 501(c)(4) social welfare group based in Chicago, Illinois, to fund activist groups and public policy initiatives.”

Hoffman established this nonprofit in October 2019.

One month later, E. Jean Carroll filed her defamation lawsuit against Trump.

Hoffman’s “new” nonprofit, would then go on to fund Carroll’s lawsuits.

I’m sure the timing of all of this was just a coincidence and there is no “evidence of a conspiracy” to frame Trump.

Right?

There are no coincidences.

Reid Hoffman’s nonprofit was based out of Chicago, Illinois.

Guess which prosecutor is bringing these charges against Carroll?

“The investigation, which was first reported by CNN, is being led by US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Andrew Boutros.”

May 28, 2026 – Maine’s Dem candidate for Senate, Graham Platner, mocked fellow war veteran; war veteran responds

Purple Heart veteran Teddy Daniels, left, slammed Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, right, for refusing to apologize over Platner’s deleted Reddit post saying Daniels “didn’t deserve to live.” (Credit: Andrew Mark Miller/Fox News Digital)

Graham Platner, the Maine Democrat running for senate who has been plagued with multiple scandals calling his character into question, was recently exposed once again, for mocking a fellow war veteran and saying that he didn’t ‘deserve to live.’

That veteran is a man named Teddy Daniels and he just wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, firing back at Platner for his comments.

This weekend, Daniels appeared on CNN and slammed not only Platner, but Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders for backing Platner, despite all of these awful remarks and controversies.

Transcript via Mediaite:

I kind of consider the source on that, first and foremost, and I’ll be honest with you, what really upset me about the comments is — you know, I can’t even say that I was upset. I’m upset about the comment that he made about Chris Kyle. You know Chris Kyle has kids. He’s not here to defend himself.

I have kids and you know with people like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders backing this man, I want them, I want Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to — my youngest is 8, he turns 9 in a couple days — to tell my kids that they’re supporting a man who said their father didn’t deserve to live. I mean, think about that. You know, that’s the issue there. It’s just sad that somebody like this is being considered for a position in leadership in the United States Senate.

May 28, 2026 – An ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey is under siege; threat made to ICE agent and his family

I’m going to ask the question again: Why Doesn’t the FBI Stop this violent, organized, national activity?

As President Trump is known to say, “don’t make it complicated.” Just look at things as they are, as they present themselves to be, and ask the most obvious questions.

“Domestic Tranquility?” Consider Antifa.

How can a group within America openly threaten police, use violence against police, throw Molotov cocktails, bricks and explosive fireworks at police. Use batons, shields, bats and physical violence against police and federal law enforcement; destroy vehicles, set cars on fire, destroy property, trash and block the streets and create chaos, completely without consequence?

It doesn’t matter where it is happening, that’s irrelevant. Think plainly and simply.

How does any individual or group get to do this without being arrested?

It doesn’t make sense, unless….

…. Unless…. The group conducting the violence cannot be arrested.

Day after day; night after night, in most major metropolitan areas around the nation, the group known as “Antifa” operate with impunity. They are organized; they are funded; they communicate locally, regionally and nationally. They mobilize in designated and coordinated areas of operation, and they are exceptionally violent and dangerous.

So how is it they can operate?

They build encampments outside federal facilities and openly fight with federal officials and law enforcement. Yet, nothing is done. Why not?

If the FBI did not support Antifa, quite simply Antifa would not exist. They are right there, highly visible, doing illegal things on camera, repeatedly, all over the country, and the FBI doesn’t lift a finger to stop them. Why?

The only thing that makes sense is that the FBI wants this activity to take place.

If they did not want it to take place, they would stop it and arrest the lawbreakers who are attacking federal buildings and officers. Why hasn’t the FBI designated antifa as a domestic terrorist organization? The visuals of trashed streets, barricades, smoke bombs, riots, semi-frequent baton clashes in the streets, etc. etc. must serve some purpose for the FBI or they would stop it.

This is not misdemeanor behavior.

Arrest the participants and put them into federal prisons.

This is not complicated.

The FBI supports Antifa. If they did not support them, the FBI would stop them.

Remember this.

SOROS’S ANTIFA MONEY MACHINE IS BEING SHUT DOWN!

Secretary Bessent just confirmed a MAJOR PROBE into Antifa’s billionaire funders is underway and they are making substantial progress.
“There’s substantial progress. We’re going to have a LOT to report.”
The party is OVER for the riot funders.
Thanks to new IRS Form 990 rules, these so-called nonprofits can no longer hide their “cash to riot” schemes. No more secret transfers from globalist foundations straight into Antifa’s street army.
For years they bankrolled the chaos, the burning cities, the division, and the Marxist takeover attempts while pretending it was all organic grassroots resistance. Open borders. Defund the police. Endless lawfare. It was never random. It was orchestrated from the top.
The puppet masters are finally being dragged into the sunlight.
The Deep State’s domestic terror pipeline is about to be completely exposed.
How many billions flowed through these fake charities? Which billionaires have been financing the black-masked brownshirts?

June 1, 2026 – Paul Krugman: “We really need to do a thorough purging of the United States.” – “We need a deMAGAfication…similar to de-Nazification”

Democrats don’t want debate—they want domination and punishment.

Paul Krugman openly calling for a “thorough purging” and
“deMAGAfication” of America modeled on de-Nazification is one of the most depraved, un-American things a public intellectual has said in my lifetime.

This is a New York Times columnist fantasizing about persecuting and silencing half the country. The mask is gone.

The immorality is staggering. Krugman isn’t a serious thinker; he’s a vengeful partisan who spent decades being wrong about nearly everything while cashing checks from the very institutions he helped corrupt.

Now that Americans rejected their agenda, his solution is authoritarian revenge dressed up as morality.

Disgusting. And dangerous. Never forget who said this.

June 2, 2026 – Obama’s Marxist history and how DEI—Woke infiltrated the U.S. government

Here is:

Barack Obama, in the early 1990s, leads a protest at Marxist Harvard University in support of then-professor Derrick Bell.

Bell was a founder of DEI and critical race theory. He spent his career teaching that Whites are oppressors and Blacks are victims. He went on strike at Harvard, demanding the school hire more Black professors. Sounds familiar?

Over a dozen Harvard professors went to work for the Obama abomination administration after he won the election in 2008.

And that’s how Marxists—DEI—Woke—have effectively hijacked and infiltrated the U.S. government.

RealRobert… This DEI Program has within it an additional item that few may have knowledge of.
Its “IAT”… “Implicit Association Testing”.

It was Introduced into Biden’s Federal Gov. as an Intitiative to “Train Any Implicit Bias .. Out of You”.
His Exec Order 14035 was the DEI Initiative.

In my Humble opinion ..IAT is The Most Dangerous Control Mechanism ever devised by Man.
http://preservingamericaepac.com

Obama is selected as one of 40 editors of the Harvard Law Review (HLR), but he apparently writes only one article for the publication. In it, he argues against placing any limits on abortion, with the remarkable statement that abortions would “…prevent increasing numbers of children born into lives of pain and despair.” (In other words, “Their lives will be miserable anyway, so why not just abort them now?”) His fellow editors elect Obama president of the HLR, partly in sympathetic response to the demands of Professor Derrick Bell that a black woman be appointed to the law faculty—a racist and sexist demand which Obama fully supported.

Derrick Bell is a proponent of “critical race theory,” which argues that the centuries-old foundation of law in the United States should be replaced by a new system of justice that takes into account past inequities like slavery. Bell argues that the law should treat people not just as individuals; it should also have different rules for different groups. Because of the injustices of slavery and past discrimination, for example, a convicted black crack cocaine dealer should be treated less harshly in his sentencing than a white drug dealer. Bell is among a growing group of leftists who are willing to discard American laws and traditions simply because they were the achievements of “old white men,” and whose goals are symbolized by the chanting of Jesse Jackson at a 1987 Stanford demonstration: “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western culture’s got to go!”

The syllabus for a class Obama teaches in the spring of 1994, “Current Issues in Racism and the Law,” covers the topics, “Discussion of Reconstruction and Jim Crow,” “Discussion of Black Response,” and “Discussion of Civil Rights/Backlash.” Student discussion topics suggested by Obama include, “The All-Black, All-Male School,” “Interracial Adoptions,” “Racial Gerrymandering,” “Race and the Criminal Justice System,” “Racial Bias in the Media,” “Welfare Policy and Reproductive Freedom,” “Affirmative Action,” and “Reparations.” For the slavery reparations discussion, Obama poses such sample questions as, “Do such proposals have any realistic chance of working their way through the political system?” and “Would there be any legal impediments to such a broadly-conceived reparations policy?” Required reading assigned by Obama includes works by Derrick Bell, his critical race theory professor at Harvard. If most of the classes taught by Obama are in a similar vein (another of his classes was called “Race, Racism, and the Law”), he should be considered a teacher of race and the law, rather than a professor of constitutional law. His choice of subject matter suggests that the issue of race affects every aspect of his life.

June 2, 2026 – Nick Shirley: A prime example of fraud and waste inside California’s homeless industrial complex

June 2, 2026 – Data Republican: How a Protest is Built – Delaney Hall

ORG CHART EXPOSED: Which NGOs Are Organizing the Newark Protests, and How a six-word Signal message shut down a thousand-person protest.

On the night of June 1, 2026, journalist @NickSortor drove to Delaney Hall expecting what he’d seen for ten straight days: hundreds of protesters surrounding Newark’s 1,000-bed ICE detention facility, human chains blocking federal vehicles, pepper balls and tear gas, helmets and gas masks distributed from organized supply stations, catered meals arriving on schedule. He found silence. The crowd — 200-plus the night before — was gone, with tens of thousands of dollars in pre-staged gear abandoned in place.

What happened between Sunday morning and Sunday night was a single message in an encrypted Signal group, as discovered by @bitchuneedsoap. A Cosecha NJ communicator posted a six-line announcement: “Cosecha is NOT mobilizing to Delaney Hall tonight. We are talking to strikers and their families to regroup.” No negotiation, no vote, no gradual loss of enthusiasm. Some switch had been flipped off.

The natural question is how a protest of that size can be turned off with one message. The answer is that it was never a protest in the way most people understand the word. It was an operation — assembled, maintained, and disbanded through an organizational structure that looks, once you map it, like a military deployment with a nonprofit org chart.

The structure has four layers. Each answers a different question. Layer 1 decides whether to act. Layer 2 decides how many show up. Layer 3 decides what happens on the ground. Layer 4 keeps the whole thing running across days.

Understanding these layers is understanding how every major protest in America works, because the same people built the template.

Layer 1: Strategy

Four organizations sit at the top. They don’t move bodies. They decide if bodies should be moved.

The parent node is the Ayni Institute, a Massachusetts nonprofit founded by Carlos Saavedra. Ayni incubated three organizations: Cosecha (the dispatch network that ran Newark), Momentum Community (which wrote the training curriculum), and IfNotNow (an anti-Israel movement which adapted the model for other movements). Ayni has trained over 13,000 activists globally. It reported$3.29 million in assets for 2024.

Momentum Community, based in Long Beach, California, provides the theoretical framework. Co-founded by Saavedra and Paul Engler, Momentum developed what they call “hybrid organizing” — fusing union-style discipline with mass protest energy. Their key innovation is a concept called “frontloading”: concentrating the bulk of organizing resources into a short escalation window rather than spreading them across years. This is exactly the pattern at Delaney Hall, where crowd size spiked from dozens to 200-plus within four days.

Organizations that adopted Momentum’s methodology include Cosecha, IfNotNow, and the Sunrise Movement — a lineage documented in Waging Nonviolence’s 2021 reporting on the model’s spread. The same activation mechanics used at Delaney Hall have been deployed across climate protests, anti-war actions, and campus occupations.

The third strategic player is NDLON — the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, headquartered in Los Angeles with 69 member organizations nationwide. NDLON created the “ICE Out of NJ” campaign and ran a Justice Bus tour on March 27, 2026, making six stops across New Jersey to map local organizational capacity. That tour happened 56 days before the hunger strike. It functioned as a network dry run: establishing who could do what, where, and how fast.

NDLON’s Organizing Director, Jorge Torres, coordinated the eleven-organization ICE Out of NJ collective from a national perch. NDLON’s communications director, Palmira Figueroa, handled media for the Newark protests from a 425 area code — that’s Seattle. A national LA-based organization’s Seattle-area press person was running comms for a Newark protest. The chain of command was never local.

NDLON received over $2 million in direct Open Society Foundations grants between 2016 and 2022.

The fourth strategic entity is NJAIJ — the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice, a 50-plus member coalition that provides institutional legitimacy. NJAIJ doesn’t dispatch people. It provides the respectable umbrella under which action campaigns operate. Its website hosts both the “ICE Out of NJ” and “Eyes on ICE” campaign pages. It is fiscally sponsored by NEO Philanthropy — its donate page routes through Network for Good “care of NEO Philanthropy,” and grants to NJAIJ are received by NEO Philanthropy’s entity — which reported $168.9 million in revenue for 2024. Under current IRS fiscal sponsorship rules, sponsored projects don’t file their own Form 990. The money is invisible.

Multiple organizations hold simultaneous membership in both NJAIJ’s 57-member coalition and ICE Out of NJ’s eleven-organization collective. These dual-membership organizations are the bridge between the respectable policy wing and the action wing. Directives can flow between them without a visible command hierarchy.

This is where the crowd comes from. Layer 2 is how 200 people materialize at an industrial lot in Newark on a Tuesday.

Cosecha NJ runs a cell structure borrowed from movement theory. They call them “circles” — groups of 3 to 7 people, each with a communicator whose job is to receive and relay activation messages. Circles combine into “communities,” communities into “villages.” Any three people who share Cosecha’s vision can form a circle with no permission from national leadership. Cosecha’s own documentation, published on Gitbook, describes the model.

At the 2017 Day Without Immigrants action, approximately 80 circles were coordinated nationally by a 27-member national team. If roughly 50 circles are active in the NJ/NY/PA corridor, a single message to circle communicators reaches 150 to 350 people; the math of the circle model itself. When you see a crowd appear at a protest within hours, this is the mechanism. It’s not word of mouth. It’s a relay network with assigned roles.

Cosecha also operates one of the only statewide rapid response hotlines in New Jersey — a partnership with DIRE branded “Cosecha X DIRE,” reachable at a 1-888 number. Three other hotlines cover individual counties. Cosecha covers the state. When an ICE alert goes out anywhere in New Jersey, Cosecha’s hotline is the one that activates the broadest network.

The dispatch layer also includes Signal-coordinated shuttles along the I-95 corridor bringing participants from New York and Philadelphia to Newark. In the one arrest batch with full geographic data — six arrests on Friday, May 30 — five of six were from out of state.

Cosecha claims zero paid staff. Instead, “over 30 volunteer organizers work for the movement full-time” through what appears to be communal living arrangements. This shows up on the IRS filings: zero executive compensation. The communal living model means organizers have near-zero personal expenses and can be redeployed to any geography on short notice.

Layer 3: Tactics

The people who show up have been trained. The training pipeline runs from Momentum Community’s hybrid organizing curriculum through the War Resisters League NVDA Agenda,  Beautiful Trouble tactical toolbox, and Ruckus Society direct action techniques. NJAIJ hosts the Ruckus Society’s“Direct Action & Safety” curriculum on its own website. Module titles include “Introduction to Blockades” and “Advanced Blockades.”

The Eyes on ICE Substack, with 42,000-plus subscribers, publishes a comprehensive wiki document that teaches the SALUTE report — a standard U.S. Army tactical intelligence format (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) adapted for civilian ICE monitoring. Signal is mandatory. Biometrics disabled. Metadata scrubbed.

At Delaney Hall, the tactical layer deployed human chains, de-arrest positioning, clergy blockades, and lockbox devices — all standard techniques from the documented curriculum. The crowd was executing a playbook.

A small cadre of 5 to 15 serial protest deployers traveled from outside the region. Ian Austin, an Army Ranger from Pennsylvania, had been arrested at a Minnesota church harboring migrants in January before deploying to Newark. John Rozendaal, a 65-year-old cellist from Manhattan, had four prior arrests across climate and police protests. Nicholas Scelfo from Brooklyn was tracked from BLM 2020 to the No Kings coalition to Delaney Hall, where he was charged with threatening to murder an ICE officer. DHS Secretary Mullin said agents arrested people who “came in from Portland to lead.”

These are not locals who got angry. They are repeat deployers who travel between protest sites the way consultants travel between client engagements.

Sustaining 200 people at an outdoor protest for ten days requires procurement, transportation, and supply chain management. Fox News documented pre-staged supply stations with organized containers established before the protests began. The gear included standardized kits — helmets, shields, gas masks, respirators — estimated by journalist Nick Sortor at roughly $100 per person. Catered meals arrived at the protest site on schedule. Street medics staffed medical tents.

After the stand-down, all of it was abandoned in place. You don’t leave $100 gas masks on the ground if you’re planning to come back tomorrow.

The confirmed funding floor across the network is $20-plus million: roughly $5 million from Open Society Foundationsdirectly, millions through the Arabella Advisors network(New Venture Fund),

$3.5 million from the Ford Foundation to Make the Road, and smaller grants through theFund for New Jersey. The specific line item for Delaney Hall field costs — the shuttles, the gear, the meals — has not been traced to any single grant. That’s the point. The money flows through fiscal sponsorship arrangements and intermediary organizations designed to make individual expenditures untraceable on public filings.

The Off Switch

On May 28, six days into the hunger strike and four days before the stand-down, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the White House press room that a joint IRS-FBI investigation into protest funding networks had made “substantial progress.” Then he added the line that mattered: “If a grant recipient is violent, if they are suppressing people’s rights, then YOU are responsible for that.”

That “you” was aimed at upstream funders. NEO Philanthropy, with $168.9 million in revenue, fiscally sponsors NJAIJ. Open Society Foundations had millions flowing to network organizations. Every 501(c)(3) in the chain was suddenly exposed — not for what their staff did, but for what any grant recipient downstream of them did. Rocks thrown at horses, human chains blocking federal vehicles, mattresses thrown at ICE agents, more than 60 arrests. Under Bessent’s framework, every upstream funder was potentially liable for all of it.

Four days later, the stand-down came. A single message in a Signal group. The crowd vanished. Unions that had been holding separate pickets at Delaney Hall the same day — HPAE, 32BJ SEIU — kept going. Same police conditions, same curfew. The unions weren’t in the command structure. Their off switch was their own.

What This Means

None of this is secret. Cosecha publishes its circle model on Gitbook. Momentum describes frontloading on its website. NDLON’s press releases name its staff. The 990 filings are on ProPublica. The training curricula are hosted on NJAIJ’s own domain.

The infrastructure was built in the open because it’s legal. Nonprofits can organize. People can protest. Foundations can fund advocacy. The question was never whether any of this was permitted. The question is whether the public understands what they’re looking at when they see a “protest” on the news.

What they’re looking at is a four-layer operation with a strategic command that decides whether to act, a dispatch network that assembles the crowd through cell-based relay, a trained tactical corps executing a published curriculum, and a logistics tail that keeps the operation fed, equipped, and transported for as long as the strategic layer decides it should run. The same template — built by the same people, funded by the same foundations, trained through the same curricula — has been deployed at climate actions, campus occupations, and immigration protests across the country.

When the curfew orders came down, perhaps assisted by the machine getting a credible threat to their tax-exempt status, the machine shut down in one Signal message. That is the difference between a movement and an operation. A movement doesn’t have an off switch.

June 3, 2026 – Trump ends the ‘debanking’ of conservatives

(Credit: The NewYork Times)

During the Biden era, it felt like everything was being weaponized.

Think about it. The courts were weaponized. Federal law enforcement was weaponized. Social media companies worked hand-in-glove with government officials to suppress stories and viewpoints they didn’t like.

(…) Conservatives, religious Americans, gun manufacturers, energy companies, and other politically “naughty” groups found themselves facing the new debanking. There were no criminal charges, convictions, or due process. This punishment came in the form of an official notice that your account was closed, your services were terminated, or your business relationship was no longer welcome.

It was literally destroying people’s lives, because progressive bankers decided conservatives didn’t deserve to have an income.

That’s why this latest breaking news is one of the most important victories of Trump’s second term.

His team has been fighting weaponization in all its forms, but this latest move is about to gut and end one of the most dangerous forms of political weaponization in modern America.

The first step was getting rid of the “vague standard” that allowed regulators to pressure banks into treating certain customers differently based on politics, beliefs, or lawful business activities.

Washington Examiner:

(…) Recently, the nation’s primary regulator of national banks finally eliminated what had, over time, metastasized into an absurd and destructive intrusion of partisan politics into the country’s free enterprise system.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, joining with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, published a final rule prohibiting federal regulators from pressuring banks to drop customers on the basis of so-called “reputation risk.”

(…) No longer will regulators be able to force banks to close accounts or withhold products or services because of a customer’s “political, social, cultural, or religious views or beliefs, constitutionally protected speech, or solely on the basis of politically disfavored but lawful business activities perceived to present reputation risk.”

It’s insane to think this happened in the United States of America. But it did. The federal government actually had a setup that allowed regulators to target people and businesses based on “reputation risk.”

What’s really scary is that this weaponized loophole has spread into major industries and some of America’s biggest banks.

WE:

Companies that had been steady, tax-paying job creators were suddenly “debanked.”

In a December 2025 preliminary report, the OCC named Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and seven other major banks as having engaged in debanking that targeted politically sensitive industries — from oil and gas to firearms manufacturers.

If lawful businesses can lose access to financial services because powerful people don’t like who they voted for, nobody’s rights are truly safe. Because that loophole can be flipped in a heartbeat. (Read more: Revolver News, 6/3/2026)  (Archive)

June 3, 2026 – Democrats threaten to block FISA 702 reauthorization over Trump appointing Bill Pulte to replace Tulsi Gabbard as acting DNI

(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

Oh, this is just awesome news.  Republicans are going bananas. Democrats, led by senate intel vice-chairman Mark Warner are having fits and meltdowns.  All of it because President Trump announced the appointment of Bill Pulte to replace Tulsi Gabbard at the end of the month as Acting DNI.

To make the issues even better, Democrats are now threatening to block FISA-702 reauthorization and stop the warrantless surveillance of American citizens unless Pulte’s appointment is withdrawn.  Yes, read that again slowly if needed – it’s perfect. 🤣😂🤣

WASHINGTON DC – […] Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) asked Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Tuesday to use his influence with the White House to reverse Trump’s move to install Pulte as overseer of the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

Warner, who’s been critical in building Democratic support for a bipartisan deal to extend FISA Section 702, made clear to Thune that all options are on the table to reverse what Democrats see as a dangerous Trump pick to lead ODNI. Pulte, who currently leads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has no national security experience and has used his existing role to exact revenge on Trump’s political foes.

From Warner’s perspective, it’s impossible to convince enough Democrats to support a reauthorization of Section 702 when Pulte would be the one overseeing the program. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has also privately told senators that the Pulte appointment makes passing a FISA deal much more difficult.

Plus, Democrats believe they’d be doing Republicans a favor because they also see Pulte as unqualified for the job, even if few openly say it. As we scooped Tuesday, the White House had indicated to top Republicans that Aaron Lukas, whom Trump announced as the acting DNI 12 days ago, would remain in the role for an extended period. Senate Republicans felt blindsided. (more)

There is a particular stupidity within Washington DC, a genuine blind spot they don’t even notice exists, when it comes to issues attached to the Intelligence Community.  I promise you folks; these IC people are genuinely ideological and not smart at all.

The bipartisan knuckleheads are so fraught with self-interest and the need for control, they cannot fathom how Bill Pulte would be elevated to Acting Director of National Intelligence just so existing Deputy Director Aaron Lucas doesn’t have to get bogged down in the quicksand of bureaucracy.

Pulte can attend the meetings, summits, foreign ministerial gatherings, go to the briefings etc. and keep Aaron Lucas completely unencumbered to continue the work begun by DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Because the Intelligence system in Washington DC controls so much of the activity, and because DC is so territorial – filled with people who demand personal credit for everything that takes place, they have no concept that Pulte’s appointment might be something entirely different than the customary head of a silo they feel entitled to control.

The Intelligence Community in Washington, DC is filled with ideological stupid people.  Trust me on this one; you give them way more credit than they deserve.   [Watch first few minutes, it’s hilarious]

Federal agents, in a daring predawn raid Wednesday, pounced on the opulent, $35 million Newport Beach mansion of an Iranian tech boss charged with supplying US computer hardware to Iran’s military and nuclear programs.

The California Post was there as the feds arrested Jamshid Ghomi, 63, of Newport Coast, who was charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and is expected to appear Wednesday afternoon in Santa Ana federal court.

The businessman, who is a dual citizen of Iran and the US, is accused of selling computer hardware to the Iranian government for use in its military and nuclear operations. Prosecutors allege Ghomi made millions on those deals and invented elaborate schemes to hide the transactions.

“Ghomi is accused of aiding our declared enemies by selling US-origin computer networking parts to Iran and earning millions of dollars in violation of US sanction laws,” said Los Angeles’ top federal prosecutor Bill Essayli.

“We will hold him accountable by seeking an appropriate prison sentence and by seizing his assets, including his $35 million Newport Beach mansion,” he added. (Read more: New York Post, 6/3/2026)  (Archive)

June 3, 2026 – Trump signs EO making senior Feds that influence policy decisions, more accountable to the American people

RESTORING ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order that makes senior Federal leaders that influence policy decisions more accountable to the American people.

  • The Order reclassifies about 8,000 senior policy-influencing positions into Schedule Policy/Career.
  • While this rule allows for heightened accountability, these remain “career” positions and the non-partisan hiring processes, competitive status, and other aspects of these roles will not change. Removal decisions will also be made without respect to political affiliation.
  • Roles listed on Schedule Policy/Career are at-will positions. Agencies can remove employees in Schedule Policy/Career for poor performance, misconduct, corruption, or subversion of Presidential directives without lengthy procedural hurdles that often prevent accountability, consistent with the ability to remove appointees responsible for implementing the President’s agenda.
    • 97% of reclassified positions are GS-15 or Senior Level positions (or the equivalent in agencies with different pay plans). These are the highest-ranking career positions outside of the Senior Executive Service.
    • These roles include agency positions such as directors, deputy directors, chiefs of staff, senior advisors and policy analysts, employees with significant involvement in drafting regulations and guidance, public affairs and legislative affairs leaders, and employees with significant involvement in determining who gets Federal grants.

FIXING A BROKEN SYSTEM: Personnel rules make removing Federal employees for any reason exceedingly difficult. Consequently, employees with significant policy-making responsibilities can stay in their jobs for years even if they perform poorly, engage in misconduct, or are unwilling to advance Presidential policy across administrations, making their agencies less capable of delivering for the American people.

  • Federal employee removal procedures are lengthy and burdensome. Removals and subsequent appeals often take a year or more to process. As a result, agencies seldom remove career employees, even at senior levels, including for egregious conduct or subversion of Presidential priorities.
    • When polled, a plurality of senior federal employees in Washington, D.C. said they would ignore a lawful order from President Trump that they considered bad policy, although all executive branch employees report to the President.
    • During the first Trump Administration, career employees refused to assist on policy matters like prosecuting racial discrimination in higher education or drafting rules regarding Title IX reform because of their personal policy disagreements.
  • Elected officials must be able to hold policy-making career employees accountable for their performance and conduct in order to operationalize the policies that voters elected them to pursue.

DRAINING THE SWAMP: President Trump is delivering on his promise to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our government from Washington ineptitude and corruption.

  • President Trump authorized buyout programs to encourage Federal employees to leave voluntarily. Adoption was large, yet unsurprisingly, the Federal government has remained more than capable of delivering on its core functions for the American people.
    • Under President Trump, the Federal workforce has been reduced to its lowest level since 1966.
  • Last year, President Trump signed an Executive Order requiring Federal hiring to follow specific policies and procedures established by agency leadership to improve the efficient delivery of government services.
  • President Trump’s Office of Personnel Management has proposed rules to improve Federal employee performance appraisals, expedite removals for serious misconduct, and streamline the cumbersome reduction-in-force process.
  • President Trump established a new Civil Service Rule XI, requiring agencies to affirmatively determine whether probationary employees’ performance warrants retention, rather than letting them become tenured permanent employees by default, which was the previous practice.
  • Today’s Executive Order builds on Executive Order 13957, which was issued in President Trump’s first term to reclassify senior federal workers in policy-related roles as at-will employees, enabling swift accountability for those in influential positions.
    • When President Biden took office, he revoked Executive Order 13957, reinstating a system that shielded unaccountable bureaucrats. The Biden Administration also issued regulations that sought to prevent such accountability measures by a future administration.
    • President Trump vowed on the campaign trail to reinstate Executive Order 13957, a promise he kept on his first day returning to office. The Office of Personnel Management has since rescinded the Biden Administration regulations that prevented Schedule Policy/Career’s immediate implementation.

June 3, 2026 – Difficult Freedom or Easy Tyranny: Which Will America Choose?

(Credit: Alonzo Chappel/National Archives via AP)

“Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.” – Edmund Burke

Most men have never understood the point Burke made, which is why most men, down through history, have lived under government oppression. Americans, however, have absolutely no excuse for living under a tyranny like the Democratic Party is trying to establish. Our Founding Fathers constantly repeated the point so eloquently made by Burke: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” – Benjamin Franklin

We aren’t listening.

“The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.” – Thomas Jefferson

Men have a choice—liberty or tyranny. And that is the very battle America is fighting now. And, “there is no liberty without morality” (Burke). The tyranny America is battling within its borders today is coming from the Democratic Party, not those who are trying to follow our Founders and the Judeo-Christian heritage they built the country upon. “To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people is a chimerical idea,” said James Madison. No virtue, no liberty.

Burke, and our Founders, made this as plain as can be. Personal self-control is freedom. Government control is tyranny. This is why the Left hates America’s Judeo-Christian heritage. Both religions teach self-control, which means freedom. The Left doesn’t want that because the Left wants government totalitarianism. They want promiscuity, they want licentiousness. They want as much sin in society as possible, as much self-indulgence as imaginable, because self-control means freedom. By its very definition, self-control is freedom; we freely choose to do the right things, and thus, don’t need government force to compel us to do them. But the Left is encouraging, glorifying self-absorption in America, decadents who do not control themselves, thus will need government to step in and do it. Growing government ultimately means tyranny.

June 4, 2026 – Trump appoints William Pulte as acting DNI; Mark Warner panics

William “Bill” Pulte (Credit: Wikipedia)

President Trump’s appointment of William J. Pulte to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence is drawing praise from lawmakers in the nation’s capital. A battle-tested reformer with deep experience safeguarding highly sensitive information and overhauling massive government institutions, Pulte brings decisive leadership, proven integrity, and a fierce America First commitment to the Intelligence Community.

Pulte has a track record of transforming inefficient bureaucracies, protecting critical American assets, and confronting entrenched interests — exactly the outsider leadership needed to ensure our nation’s intelligence agencies focus on their core mission: protecting the American people and confronting global threats.

Here’s what they’re saying:

Sen. Jim Banks: “While Democrats play politics with our national security, @pulte will put the American people first. He is a friend, ally, and patriot who will fight to drain the Swamp of our intel community, and keep America safe. I look forward to working with him as Acting Director of National Intelligence.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn: “Congratulations to @pulte on being named Acting Director of National Intelligence. I applaud his willingness to serve our nation and look forward to supporting him.”

Sen. Katie Britt: “As a member of the Senate Banking Committee, I’ve enjoyed working with @Pulte in his capacity as Director of Federal Housing. I appreciate his willingness to serve and dedication to our country. I wish him success in this critical role for our national security.”

Sen. Bernie Moreno: “A great pick by President Trump! My friend @Pulte will lead the DNI with integrity, cripple the deep state, and always prioritize America’s national security and the safety of our citizens!”

Sen. Tommy Tuberville: “I am ALL FOR Bill Pulte as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. He has done an excellent job in his role as Director of Federal Housing, and I’ve worked closely with him to get the WOKE NONSENSE out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Bill is an America First PATRIOT, and I am confident he is the right man to drain the SWAMP in our intel community.”

Rep. Andrew Clyde: “President Trump has a phenomenal track record of making out of the box appointments that deliver results for the American people. Bill Pulte will be a great Director of National Intelligence.”

Rep. Lance Gooden: “If Democrats, RINOs, and the deep state are all vehemently against @pulte as Director of National Intelligence, he is the right man for the job.”

Rep. Paul Gosar: “The Left & DC establishment are melting down over @POTUS selection of Bill Pulte.  Here’s a reminder: @POTUS was elected to lead the Executive Branch & has every right to surround himself with America First people he trusts to carry out his agenda.  Pulte has proven himself to be a fighter, a reformer & someone willing to challenge a broken status quo.”

Rep. Abe Hamadeh: “As a former intelligence officer, I know the importance of fearless transparency and courageous leadership to keep our country safe and strengthen our national security. Bill @Pulte is a relentless fighter for the truth, a political outsider with a fresh perspective we desperately need more of in Washington. I have complete confidence in President Trump’s selection of him as the next Director of National Intelligence.”

Rep. Darrell Issa: “Congratulations to @pulte on his appointment by @realDonaldTrump as the new Acting Director of National Intelligence. Bill has successfully managed some of the most sensitive American data, as well as more than $10 trillion in assets at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is the right man at the right time for this critical post.”

Rep. Ronny Jackson: “CONGRATULATIONS to our next Acting Director of National Intelligence, Bill Pulte! As a member of @HouseIntel, I look forward to working with him to support President Trump’s agenda and ensure our intelligence agencies are equipped to confront the growing threats facing our nation!”

Rep. Nick Langworthy: “Congratulations to Bill Pulte on his appointment as Acting Director of National Intelligence. At a time when threats to our nation are growing more complex, strong leadership matters. I am confident Bill will serve with integrity, focus, and an unwavering commitment to protecting the American people.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Bill Pulte will be a great ODNI! Go Bill – Go!”

Rep. Lloyd Smucker: “Congratulations to @pulte on your appointment as Acting Director of National Intelligence! Grateful for your service as you take on this key role helping President Trump and his administration protect our nation.”

Rep. Marlin Stutzman: “Bill Pulte is a smart person and a fantastic businessman. I appreciate President Trump’s confidence in naming him intel chief!”

Rep. Claudia Tenney: “Congratulations to @pulte on his appointment as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Director Pulte has managed some of the most sensitive issues in our economy and has a proven record of leadership. As a former bank attorney & member of @HouseIntel, I look forward to working with him.”

(White House Press Release, 6/4/2026)

@MarkWarner is afraid that @pulte will do what Warner and his crew has been doing for decades: interfere in US elections.

This is classic narrative seeding. The democrat plan is to launch an operation that creates threats during or on elections. The propaganda they will deploy in response to that operation will be ‘close down elections, seize polling stations’ and they will point back to this interview as SEE I TOLD YOU THAT IS WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO.

Newsflash, the DNI does even actually PRODUCE intelligence. They aggregate intelligence produced elsewhere. Oh, and just for giggles, the CIA does[n’t] collect intelligence either…THEY PRODUCE intelligence to justify a plan of action they’ve already decided will occur. The DNI and current CIA director just confirmed that was the case on multiple occasions.

PS, if you review the declassified CIA documents, it reveals a pattern of them doing exactly that since 1948.

Former national security adviser John Bolton will plead guilty to mishandling classified information while working in President Trump’s first administration, CNN reported Thursday.

Bolton, 77, was indicted in October 2025 on 18 counts of illegally hoarding or sending sensitive information. The charges largely revolved around his best-selling 2020 tell-all “The Room Where It Happened,” in which Bolton gave readers a behind-the-scenes look at his time in the White House.

Reps for Bolton and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A hearing is scheduled for June 26 in Greenbelt, Md., federal court.

A blast from the past that didn’t work out too well:

June 5, 2026 – Patel fires five FBI employees tied to anti-Catholic FBI memo

Five FBI employees tied to the bureau’s 2023 “Radical Traditionalist Catholics” memo were fired Friday, according to multiple reports. The four intelligence analysts and one supervisory analyst involved in drafting and approving the document had faced no discipline since the memo became public more than three years ago.

The news was first reported by Daily Wire reporter Mary Margaret Olohan, who said an FBI source confirmed the dismissals.

The Richmond Field Office produced the memo in January 2023. It examined what it described as a possible connection between “Radical Traditionalist Catholic” ideology and racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists, and discussed potential “tripwire and source development” opportunities within Catholic communities.

The document became public after a whistleblower provided it to Congress, triggering immediate backlash from lawmakers, religious liberty advocates, and Catholic organizations. Republicans argued the memo showed the FBI was scrutinizing Americans based on their religious beliefs.

Then-Attorney General Merrick Garland later told lawmakers he was “appalled” by the memo, while Wray repeatedly insisted the memo came from a single field office and was withdrawn once senior leadership saw it.

June 5, 2026 – Trump erupts and storms off the set of his interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker

The interview aired during Sunday’s episode of Meet the Press.

After Welker repeatedly accused Trump of making claims with “no evidence,” Trump had enough and lashed out, saying, “Your elections are crooked, and you’re crooked, and meet the press is crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN.”

“You’re one-sided, crooked networks. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough,” Trump continued as he pulled the microphone off his jacket and tossed it on the ground, making a thud.

Trump then stood up and squashed the microphone with his foot as he walked away, making it crunch. It did not appear to be intentional, but the moment was hilariously emblematic of the entire exchange.

WATCH:

(…) “I love the idea,” he said of his $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, adding, “because people like you, the fake dirty press, the crooked press, people like Stupid Biden—he’s not smart enough to know what’s going on, but people that surrounded him, surrounded his beautiful, resolute desk in the Oval Office— what they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people, they sent people to jail who did nothing wrong!”

And as Welker tried to defend California’s vote counting process, claiming “that’s how they vote in California,” Trump fired back, “Do you think it’s appropriate that they have an election, and five days later, they’re nowhere close to picking a winner?… You’re either crooked or you’re stupid!”

June 5, 2026 – Small Business Administration chief Kelly Loeffler reports there were $200 billion in fraudulent PPP loans distributed by Biden admin

HOLY SMOKES. Trump SBA chief Kelly Loeffler exposes in the Cabinet room she found $200 BILLION in FRAUDULENT PPP loans distributed by the Biden admin…

…and they tried COVERING IT UP. People are now going to jail 🔥

“Think about at the SBA, we found $200 billion in fraudulent PPP loans that the Biden administration tried to hide and forgive and sweep under the rug.”

“We’ve turned the first $22 billion of that over to Treasury for collections and to DOJ for prosecution.”

“Our inspector general is already announcing that people are going to jail. There are jail sentences now being served.”

“We’ve announced that 140,000 people have been barred from ever getting SBA loans again defrauding the government for about $9 billion.”

“So we are going to continue our work under the great leadership of Vice President Vance and appreciate the partnership because it’s really accelerated our ability to get the job done.” 🇺🇸

U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler has publicly detailed a sweeping crackdown on suspected fraud in pandemic-era relief programs, focusing on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) programs.

According to Loeffler, the SBA has identified an estimated $200 billion in fraudulent PPP and EIDL loans that were meant to support small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic Just The News. She said that $22 billion of these fraudulent loans have already been referred to the U.S. Treasury and Department of Justice for collections and prosecution, with some individuals convicted and serving prison sentences Just The News.

Enforcement Actions

  • Ohio Crackdown: In June 2026, the SBA suspended 27,486 Ohio borrowers linked to about $1.1 billion in suspected fraudulent PPP and EIDL activity. Four alleged Ohio-based fraudsters tied to over $1.4 million in fraud were indicted Markets Insider.
  • California Crackdown: Earlier in 2026, the SBA suspended 111,620 California borrowers tied to $8.6 billion in suspected fraud Small Business Administration.
  • Minnesota Crackdown: The agency also suspended 6,900 Minnesota borrowers for loans totaling roughly $400 million The Free Press – Tampa.
  • National Scale: These actions are part of a state-by-state effort, with over 560,000 suspected fraudulent borrowers referred to the DOJ in the largest fraud enforcement package in SBA history Markets Insider+1.

Loeffler’s Message

Loeffler has warned that “if you defraud federal programs at any level, we will find you” and emphasized that suspended borrowers lose access to all SBA loan programs and federal contracting opportunities Markets Insider. She has also criticized past administrations for allegedly tolerating fraud, calling for accountability and recovery of taxpayer funds Just The News+1.

Legal and Financial Impact

Prosecutions have included high-profile cases such as:

  • Jaimeka Michelle Austin (VA) – PPP/EIDL nearly $2M, sentenced to 8 years www.lolsba.com.
  • Sharhabeel Shreiteh (IL) – PPP $14M, sentenced to 10 years www.lolsba.com.
  • Stephanie Hockridge (TX) – PPP over $63M, sentenced to 10 years www.lolsba.com.

These cases illustrate the range of penalties, from probation to decades in prison, for those convicted of PPP/EIDL fraud.

In summary: Loeffler’s reports frame the SBA’s actions as a major effort to recover billions in misused pandemic relief funds, with hundreds of thousands of borrowers suspended and thousands prosecuted across multiple states

June 5, 2026 – $29 billion in taxpayer cash: EPA Chief Zeldin drops criminal referrals to DOJ for green energy heist

Obama-Biden Cronies CAUGHT Stealing $29 BILLION in Taxpayer Cash: EPA Chief Zeldin Drops Criminal Referrals to DOJ for Massive Green Energy Heist

John Solomon says EPA Chief Lee Zeldin just informed him that Obama and Biden administration officials ran a massive self-dealing scam — funneling $29 BILLION in green energy grants to their buddies. Former Cabinet secretaries, big Democrat donors, political activists — including a Stacey Abrams-linked group that got $2 BILLION despite almost zero revenue.

Zeldin blocked the money, uncovered the pass-through nonprofits used to launder it to insiders, and has now made several criminal referrals to the DOJ.

Read that again.. a $29 BILLION dollar heist, planned by Barrack Hussein Obama.

Devin Nunes is back in play:

They raided Mar-A-Lago because they were desperately trying to find this Intelligence Community Report

“Nobody thought Trump was going to win” — and Obama’s own IC stated there was no Evidence whatsoever that Trump colluded with Russia— and in fact, the IC concluded that Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win because they had BLACKMAIL on her

John Solomon reveals that fresh documents “Just Discovered” inside the FBI contain evidence pertaining to Barrack Hussein Obama that is about to become public:

“I think there will be a need to summon [Obama] based on some of the evidence that’s about to become public.”

BUT… “he can’t be indicted most likely, but that means he cannot claim the 5th amendment either— keep an eye on that”

I told you, “Burn Bags” were the perfect delivery vehicle to “find” whatever they want, whenever they want. Everything is timed for release.

June 5, 2026 – Georgia Rep. Clay Fuller introduces article of impeachment against federal judge for sexual misconduct

I am dropping an article of impeachment against Eleanor L. Ross, a Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. I have been working on this alongside @repjimjordan since the news broke and will be introducing this on Monday.

Judge Ross is alleged to have engaged in an extramarital affair with a high-ranking official of the Atlanta Police Department inside her federal courthouse chambers during office hours, within earshot of her judicial staff, while actively presiding over criminal cases.

This radical judge has no place in power and is unfit to sit on the federal bench.

June 6, 2026 – India H-1B Visa fraud ring busted: Up to 90% of applications from India contained fraudulent information

The long-running concerns about abuse of America’s H-1B visa program are exploding back into the spotlight after a series of fraud investigations, criminal guilty pleas, and shocking allegations from a former U.S. diplomat who claims that as many as 80% to 90% of H-1B visa applications from India contained fraudulent information or involved unqualified applicants.

The revelations come as federal and state authorities ramp up investigations into alleged visa fraud schemes that critics say have displaced American workers while enriching a network of foreign recruiting firms, shell companies, and immigration middlemen.

Mahvash Siddiqui (Credit: The Times of India)

Former U.S. Foreign Service Officer Mahvash Siddiqui, who served at the U.S. consulate in Chennai, India, told Newsweek that many applicants submitted fake degrees, forged documents, or otherwise failed to meet the qualifications required for the highly coveted visa program.

Siddiqui described the problem as “industrialized fraud” during a recent interview discussing her experience adjudicating tens of thousands of visa applications.

“I would say 80 to 90 percent of the people that I encountered in each of the visa categories, especially the young people between the ages of 20 to 45 that had very few ties to India, were basically using the non-immigrant visa pipeline to essentially come and work in the United States and never go back home and essentially displace American workers,” Siddiqui stated.

She added that fraud is normalized in India in the same way bribery is normalized there.

In April, federal prosecutors announced that two California men pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit H-1B visa fraud after submitting petitions for jobs that did not actually exist at the University of California.

Prosecutors said the defendants used fraudulent job offers to obtain visa approvals and then reassigned workers elsewhere after the visas were issued.

Federal investigators concluded that the applications contained false information and that the workers were not employed in the positions described in the visa petitions. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 6/6/2026)  (Archive)

June 6, 2026 – New accusations against Graham Platner expose the hypocrisy of Democrats

Democrat Graham Platner, who is running for Senate in Maine and would face Sen. Susan Collins if he wins the upcoming primary, is facing new allegations. The New York Times reports some women who previously dated Platner say they saw disturbing behavior. Platner denies the allegations.

Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing new allegations this morning. The New York Times spoke with several of Platner’s ex-girlfriends, some of whom claim the Maine politician was “volatile and toxic” during their time together. The Times also spoke with several other former girlfriends who gave a different account of Platner, calling him a “gentle giant.” Platner has acknowledged a troubled past but denied any claims of physical violence. MS NOW congressional reporter Kevin Frey talked to voters in Maine about the latest controversy.

Greg Gutfeld unloads on Democrats during The Five as new allegations surrounding Graham Platner spark controversy and raise questions about political double standards. After many Democrats recently distanced themselves from Eric Swalwell over similar accusations, Gutfeld argues that their response to the Platner story exposes a glaring inconsistency. In this heated discussion, Gutfeld examines why some political figures are quickly condemned while others appear to receive protection from the same critics. The panel debates media coverage, partisan loyalty, accountability, and whether Democrats are applying different standards depending on who is involved. Watch as Greg Gutfeld breaks down the controversy, challenges the media narrative, and highlights what he sees as another example of political hypocrisy in Washington.

@cnnDemocratic voters in Maine are grappling with new allegations against Senate candidate Graham Platner while debating whether he remains their strongest contender against Republican Senator Susan Collins in the 2026 Senate race. CNN’s Danny Freeman reports.

JAMES CARVILLE ADMITTED THE DEMOCRAT DOUBLE STANDARD ON LIVE TV: NAZI TATTOO IS FINE IF YOU’RE THEIR GUY!
Jake Tapper pressed James Carville on CNN about Graham Platner, the Maine Democrat running for Senate with the Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo on his chest.
Tapper: “What would you say to a Republican who says if a Republican combat veteran had a Nazi tattoo, you wouldn’t be so forgiving?”
Carville: “It’s true. I would say you’re exactly right.”
Carville then added that if it were a Republican, he’d never vote for him, but quickly pivoted to claiming the real danger to America is President Trump.

 

June 8, 2026 – House Oversight releases report suggesting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and AG Ellison were aware of widespread taxpayer fraud

Chairman Comer urges President Trump’s Anti-Fraud Task Force to conduct a thorough review of Minnesota’s social services program

WASHINGTON—The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released a staff report today titled, “The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota’s Fraud Explosion.” The report exposes how senior Minnesota state officials, including Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison, were aware of widespread taxpayer fraud in federally funded social programs for years, possessed the authority to stop payments and ban fraudulent providers from participating in these programs, but repeatedly failed to act. As a result, billions of American taxpayer dollars were potentially paid to fraudulent actors. The report includes testimony and documents obtained by the Committee showing that Minnesota state leaders consistently failed to address known fraud concerns and retaliated against state employees who sought to protect taxpayer funds, allowing criminal schemes to flourish and diverting critical resources from vulnerable Americans.

“Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison are responsible for one of the most stunning oversight failures this Committee has ever examined. Today’s report is the culmination of months of investigative work and reveals hard evidence showing how the Walz Administration failed to stop widespread fraud, allowing criminals to enrich themselves at the expense of American taxpayers. Billions of dollars were stolen because Minnesota state leaders turned a blind eye to rampant fraud and retaliated against state employees who dared to raise concerns. It is now clear the Walz Administration chose to protect the system rather than protect the taxpayer. Americans are fed up with fraud and expect action from the government entrusted with their hard-earned money. The House Oversight Committee has now passed over a dozen bills aimed at protecting taxpayer funds and strengthening oversight of federal programs ripe for fraud. This Committee will continue to work alongside President Trump’s anti-fraud task force to have the backs of hardworking Americans,” said House Committee on Oversight and Government Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.).

Below are some key findings from the report:

  • Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison were aware of credible and systemic fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs as early as 2019 but failed to take action to protect taxpayer funds.
  • Minnesota state agencies had clear authority to suspend or stop payments to providers suspected of fraud without requiring independent direction from courts, law enforcement agencies, or the federal government but failed to act.
  • Minnesota officials continued directing taxpayer dollars to Feeding our Future and other high-risk entities despite identifying serious program deficiencies, enabling hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds to flow to fraudsters.
  • Testimony and documents show that concerns about litigation and accusations of discrimination—not legal barriers or directives from law enforcement—were cited as reasons for continuing payments to suspected fraudsters.
  • The Walz Administration retaliated against state employees who raised concerns about fraud, while senior state officials prioritized managing political and media fallout over addressing known fraud vulnerabilities.
  • Failures to prevent fraud resulted in an estimated $300 million in federal child nutrition funds being lost and potentially $9 billion in Medicaid-related funds to be lost or placed at serious risk.

Based on the Committee’s findings, Chairman Comer also sent a letter to Vice President JD Vance urging the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud to conduct a thorough review of Minnesota’s social services programs.

This week, the House of Representatives is slated to consider ten Oversight Committee bills aimed at protecting taxpayer funds and combating rampant fraud and improper payments in federal programs. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates that between $233 billion and $521 billion is lost annually due to fraud.

The Committee is also releasing transcribed interview transcripts conducted as part of its investigation into fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs:

  • Emily Honer, Director of Nutrition Program Services for MDE (2023 to Present), previously Supervisor of Business Operations and Support Services for MDE (2019-2023)
  • Daron Korte, Assistant Commissioner for MDE (2014 to Present)
  • Mary Cathryn Ricker, Former MDE Commissioner (2019 to 2021)
  • Tony Lourey, Former DHS Commissioner (January 2019 to July 2019)
  • Dave Greeman, Former DHS Chief Financial Officer (2021 to 2025)
  • Eric Grumdahl, Former DHS Assistant Commissioner of Homelessness & Housing Support (2022 to 2025)
  • Shireen Gandhi, then-Temporary DHS Commissioner (February 2025 to February 2026), previously Deputy Commissioner for Agency Effectiveness (2022-2025), Assistant Commissioner for Agency Effectiveness (2021-2022), and Chief Compliance Officer for DHS (2017-2021)
  • Jodi Harpstead, Former DHS Commissioner (2019 to 2025)
  • Chris Schmitter, Former Chief of Staff for Governor Tim Walz (2019 to 2025)

FULL HEARING: Tim Walz & Keith Ellison Grilled About Minnesota Fraud In House Oversight Committee – March 4, 2026

June 8, 2026 – Mike Pompeo confesses to ‘planning and coordinating’ with British intelligence in the midst of Spygate and Russiagate

Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination. It was signed simply “C” in green ink. Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now cool!

More than that, this note, from Sir Alex Younger, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, confirmed what I already believed: the work that the CIA and MI6 did together mattered, that the partnership was critical, and that two leaders focused on the mission could save lives and provide tools for our nations to deter our adversaries.

Alex’s passing this week brought back so many memories of our time in service together. He flew to Langley to see me the day I was confirmed. We brought our two senior teams together in the UK to plan and coordinate and build in the first several weeks of my time on duty: making clear to them all that this relationship was more than special – it was critical for the security of our two countries.

Alex was a remarkable intelligence partner. When we needed help, it wasn’t “let me see;” it was “this matters to you and America we’ll get it done.” And he and his team always did. I think he knew we would do the same for him and his team and his nation. Many Americans are alive today because of his leadership of MI6, I never knew how to thank him enough.

Alex became a friend as well. In the years since we both left office we would see each other from time to time. He was always so kind, so thoughtful, so smart. His deep love of his country was surpassed only by his deep commitment and love of his family. Decent and proper – and funny as hell – Alex was “C.” As espionage requires, he was quiet, not attention seeking. He knew what evil was and he was ruthless in his efforts to crush it with every legal tool at his command. And he knew who his friends were and committed himself to supporting them.

I miss Sir Alex Younger. He was a role model for me and a man with whom every minute I spent was valued and savored. Blessings to you Alex. Praying for you and for your family. Well done and may you rest in peace in His hands.

June 9, 2026 – Office of Special Counsel wants sanctions on Biden officials who conspired to violate court order re Title IX

Tim Mattson (Credit: public domain)

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel recommended severe sanctions for current and former Department of Education employees, “up to and including removal,” for their roles in a newly confirmed scheme to violate a court injunction against the Biden administration’s Title IX guidance, which interpreted “sex” to include “gender identity.”

Chief Counsel Charles Baldis told President Trump in a letter made public Wednesday that the department didn’t go far enough with its “corrective steps” in response to officials in the Biden administration, some of whom might have remained under President Trump, who threatened the federal funding of school districts that resisted the guidance’s novel view of “sex” after a court blocked the guidance nearly four years ago.

He called for “more robust action […] to ensure accountability and prevent recurrence,” including “expeditiously” completing its investigation and punishing employees, “including senior officials,” found to have “participated in, directed, assisted, or concealed efforts to defy the court’s injunction.”

The department should also consider “a monetary reward” for the whistleblower, Baldis said.

While his name is redacted in the letter, the whistleblower was previously identified as Kansas City Office for Civil Rights attorney Timothy Mattson. He’s represented by whistleblower advocacy group Empower Oversight, which told Just the News Wednesday it was surprised by the “stronger corrective actions” recommended by Baldis.

Catherine Lhamon (Credit: Wikipedia)

Mattson had accused national Office for Civil Rights Director Catherine Lhamon, who held the role in both Obama and Biden administrations, of “prohibited personnel practices” against him when he disclosed OCR’s violation of the injunction “to his chain of command.”

Baldis emphasized “the significance of the disclosure, his perseverance and the risks he took in coming forward, and the strength of ED’s substantiation.”

The department should also complete a “comprehensive, independent audit of all OCR enforcement actions taken in
enjoined states during the relevant period to identify and remedy any additional instances of non-compliance” and provide “full transparency” to OSC, Congress and the public on what it finds and what discipline and remedial action it takes, Baldis said.

The materials Baldis referenced are on OSC’s case page.

(Just the News, 6/10/2026)  (Archive)

Department of Education whistleblower Timothy Mattson reflects on the decision that ultimately led him to come forward with his concerns. Rather than seeking public attention, Mattson explains that he felt a responsibility to act when he believed concerns needed to be addressed.

After documenting concerns regarding the @usedgov’s Office for Civil Rights and its handling of certain Title IX matters during the Biden Administration, Mattson raised those concerns through official channels. Empower Oversight later filed disclosures on his behalf with the @US_OSC which released its final report vindicating Mattson regarding all of his disclosures. Mattson’s experience highlights a reality shared by many whistleblowers: most do not set out to become whistleblowers. They simply reach a point where remaining silent is no longer an option.

A whistleblower report alleges Biden-era Education Department officials ignored a federal injunction and retaliated against employees who raised concerns.

June 9, 2026 – DHS approves states access to federal databases to verify citizenship – USPS will monitor all mail-in ballots – Election systems now under a federal visibility grid

Useful Idiot Kristen Welker’s PATHETIC defense of California election fraud DEBUNKED

Larry O’Connor takes Welker to task for the rigged system she’s dismissing.

“The real scandal coming out of California right now is quite possibly every single thing we are seeing transpire before our very eyes is 100% legal.”

O’Connor explains that anyone with a functional brain can see what’s happening in California and know that the election is being stolen.

“You can steal something and not break the law. And that’s what’s happening here. They are stealing it without actually breaking the law.”

As a former Californian resident, O’Connor breaks down the entire process.

“This is the election system in California as we speak. Anybody who is a registered voter gets a ballot mailed to them, and you register to vote because you walk into a DMV, and you automatically get registered no matter what. And as you know, California leads the nation in giving driver’s licenses and registrations to illegal immigrants, people who are in the country illegally, and they’re getting driver’s ed. They’re getting commercial driver’s license in California right now. And when you go through the process, they register you to vote. And there is no check for citizenship. There’s no check for ID, there’s no check for anything. And they’ll register to vote. And you’re on the voter rolls.”

O’Connor even stated he hasn’t lived in Los Angeles County since 2012, and he’s STILL being notified by email that his ballot has been mailed to him.

“I don’t know who’s got it. Whatever address I used to live in has has the Lawrence O’Connor ballot, and I’d love to know if I voted. I probably have without anyone knowing it.”

And then comes the issue of ballot harvesting…

“In California, individuals can go and collect ballots from anyone. They can go and knock on the doors and say, ‘Hey, give me your ballot. I’ll take care of it for you’ legally. And those people who knock on your door and collect your ballot, they call it ‘ballot harvesting,’ they can work for political entities. They can work for political action committees.”

“They can go and they can pick and choose what ballots they want to collect. And they bring them in or they don’t. And every mail in ballot, there is no ID required for every single mail in or drop box ballot. All you’ve got to do is sign the ballot. But of course, it would be discriminatory to allow somebody who is illiterate and can’t write their name to not vote.”

“So when you sign your ballot, you can just make a mark. You can make a smiley face if you want, but it’s witnessed. Don’t worry. There’s a little box for a witness to sign. But of course, there’s no name associated with a witness. It’s just a signature. And oh, by the way, when those ballots are collected, the witness signature isn’t checked.”

“They just check that there is a signature for a witness. So, of course, there’s nothing keeping people from making a little mark on the signature for the voter. And then that same person squiggling the witness box, putting it in an envelope and then having those votes come in. Oh, what else are they doing in California? Well, they allow ballots that come in as late as a week after Election Day to be counted. That doesn’t seem right. Oh. It’s okay. The ballot had to be mailed or put into a Dropbox or delivered by Election Day. But of course, if it’s not postmarked, they’ll overlook that. If there’s no postmark at all on the envelope, they’ll just look at whatever date you put on it and they’ll trust you, and then they’ll count the ballots.”

“Every single thing I just described for you is accurate and legal. They’re not breaking the law. They’re following the laws that they have written so that they can get away with this garbage and everyone knows it.”

Karoline Leavitt just locked the California Fraud Template into the national election conversation…

California functions as the operational scale model…

Universal mail-in ballots moving through fragmented custody chains… days of rolling vote drops… endless counting windows… weak verification standards…

Millions of ballots flowing through systems where visibility fractures the moment custody disperses across counties, contractors, facilities, and transport layers…

Now connect that to the infrastructure already sitting underneath the system…

USPS GPS telemetry… barcode custody trails… handheld scanner logs… facility routing data… timestamp sequencing across nationwide logistics networks…

Every ballot movement leaves a digital footprint… every reroute leaves a pattern… every delay creates a signal… every batch can be traced statistically…

The fight is no longer about whether the system can be manipulated… the fight is over who controls the visibility layer sitting above the movement of the ballots themselves…

Who controls custody data controls the audit field, who controls the audit field controls public reality…

California is not the endpoint, California is the template, and the template was built to scale…

***

Let’s break down what @drawandstrike and I are saying here…

The postal system is no longer just mail trucks and envelopes moving across the country… it has evolved into a nationwide tracking network built on GPS telemetry, handheld scanners, barcode custody trails, routing systems, and live operational monitoring tied into massive data infrastructure…

When ballots move through that system, every acceptance scan, transport transfer, sorting event, reroute, missed handoff, duplicate barcode read, delayed delivery, or chain-of-custody break leaves a timestamped footprint…

At scale, those footprints create an entirely different level of visibility into election mail movement that did not exist years ago… route anomalies, scan gaps, statistical outliers, delivery timing clusters, and regional irregularities can all be mapped across the network in near real time…

The real battle sits around visibility and control… who has access to the tracking data, who controls the audit layer, who can correlate the movement patterns, and who gets to interpret the billions of operational events flowing through the system every election cycle… guess who has access to the data?!?!

Don’t get us started on holographic markers and nuclear isotope ballot tagging… that’s an entirely different layer of chain of custody verification… Star Trek was narrative seeding… 😎

BQQM… the election fraud template is colliding directly into the federal visibility grid…

DHS just greenlit state access to federal citizenship databases while USPS starts helping track mail ballot movement, routing anomalies, custody trails, scan irregularities, and suspicious flow patterns…

Every mail ballot already leaves a digital footprint through barcode scans, handheld devices, GPS telemetry, sorting hubs, timestamps, and routing systems tied into massive national infrastructure…

At scale, patterns become impossible to hide…

This is the transition from blind trust into forensic visibility heading straight into the next election cycle…

DHS has approved a plan allowing states to verify voter citizenship through federal databases while also monitoring mail-in ballot activity for potential signs of fraud, advancing a central pillar of President Donald Trump’s election integrity agenda.

The initiative, expected to launch later this month, would give election officials access to federal citizenship records and allow voter rolls to be checked against immigration and government databases.

DHS also plans to work with USPS to track absentee and mail ballot flows, flag unusual patterns, and generate investigative leads. The move advances a major piece of President Trump’s election integrity agenda.

June 9, 2026 – The House Judiciary Committee holds hearing with the Southern Poverty Law Center

The House Judiciary Committee holds a hearing investigating the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on Tuesday, June 9.

The hearing will “explore recently released information revealing that the SPLC has funneled money to some extremists, raising questions whether the SPLC has been artificially elevating the domestic extremist threat and misleading its donors.”

The Department of Justice said in an indictment last week that the far-left SPLC “used their donors’ money ‘to fund the leaders and organizations of racist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations, and the National Alliance.’”

“The SPLC’s paid informants (‘field sources’) engaged in the active promotion of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website,” the DOJ said in Tuesday’s superseding indictment.

The department goes on to allege that $4.1 million worth of tax-exempt funds were used to pay these individuals whose activities even included recruiting new members and buying materials for cross burnings and KKK robes and hoods.

The far-left organization is still facing 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a bank, and money laundering conspiracy, all charges which were filed in April.

(Breitbart News, 6/9/2026)

It’s time to drop a MEGA decode BQMB on the SPLC, ADL, and more…

The SPLC decode was never about one organization… it was about exposing the architecture behind the modern control grid…

The allegations presented before Congress show the SPLC accused of funding and embedding field sources inside extremist groups while simultaneously fundraising, expanding influence, and driving corporate censorship off the very movements it claimed to fight…

Create the threat…
Infiltrate the threat…
Amplify the threat…
Monetize the fear…
Then weaponize the fallout to pressure banks, tech platforms, payment processors, hosting providers, donor systems, and social media companies into silencing political opposition…

That is infrastructure warfare…

Now zoom out…

The SPLC was never operating alone…

The Anti-Defamation League…
NGO influence networks…
“Trust and safety” coalitions…
Counter-extremism partnerships…
Behavioral monitoring systems…
AI moderation frameworks…

Different names… same architecture…

A distributed narrative enforcement system sitting between the population and the infrastructure modern society depends on…

Banking…
Payments…
Search visibility…
Advertising…
Hosting…
Fundraising…
Social amplification…
AI filtering layers…

Charlottesville became a massive acceleration node inside that system…

According to testimony before Congress, SPLC fundraising reportedly exploded from roughly $51 million to $133 million following the emotional shockwave surrounding those events…

Fear became the fuel… the narrative became the weapon… corporate infrastructure became the enforcement arm…

That is the real story…

Unelected NGOs influencing who can bank, fundraise, process payments, gain visibility, or exist inside the digital public square… all under the shield of “extremism prevention,” “misinformation,” and “safety” enforcement…

The old model required direct government censorship…

The new model uses partnered corporations, NGOs, media amplification, algorithmic suppression, and financial dependency systems to achieve the same outcome with plausible deniability…

This was never just about stopping hate… it was about building a scalable control architecture capable of shaping perception, restricting dissent, and engineering societal behavior at scale…

That is the decode… BQQM…

June 10, 2026 – FBI thwarts alleged drone terror attack targeting White House UFC Freedom 250 event

An alleged explosive drone terror attack destined for Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn was thwarted by the FBI and five suspects are now in custody, it was revealed Tuesday.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the foiled plan after Fox News first broke the news.

On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold.

While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team – we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens – particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight. That’s exactly what we did here. I want to thank our great agents and partners, this work remains ongoing and we will continue to update the public as permitted.

We continue to encourage any American to report anything suspicious at 1-800-CALL-FBI or http://tips.fbi.gov.”

The report further reveals possible motives for the alleged terror assault, with one suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

June 10, 2026 – ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones appears before House Administration Committee and pleads the Fifth 22 times

(…) Jones was called to testify at a hearing titled “Preventing Fraudulent Donations: Transparency, Verification, and Accountability” after she was informed by her attorneys that she may have misled Congress in a 2023 letter to Congress about ActBlue’s vetting of foreign donations.

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the dark-money Democrat donation platform and its policies that allow foreign money to be pumped into Democratic candidates. One of the tactics used to make fraudulent donations is through unsuspecting individuals or ActBlue “smurfs,” whose personal information is used to make donations without their knowledge.

During the hearing, Wallace-Jones refused to answer a single question, pleading the Fifth 22 times.

The following questions were asked by House Administration Committee Bryan Steil:

  • In 2023, I sent you this letter with five straightforward questions with a goal of confirming that foreign funds are not in our elections and that ACT Blue had adequate fraud prevention measures in place. You replied a month later with a four-page letter describing your fraud prevention policies and procedures that you had in place at ActBlue. But according to the New York Times, your response to this committee may have been false and misleading. When you signed this letter to me, did you believe that this letter was false and misleading?
  • Before you sent this letter, was it brought to your attention that this letter that you sent me was false and misleading?
  • According to the New York Times, you’ve been aware for quite a while that the response you made was likely false or misleading. Did you ever consider correcting the record for this committee when it was brought to your attention that your letter to me was false and misleading?
  • Your letter claimed that passport information is required from donors providing an address outside the United States. In November 2023, when you wrote that letter, did every ActBlue donation provided an address outside the United States require passport information?
  • Your letter also claimed that ActBlue would contact a donor to request passport information if the contribution appeared to be from a foreign address, and you told this committee that the contribution would be refunded if ActBlue was unable to make contact with the donor. Is that correct?
  • We have reason to believe that your letter in 2023 was not correct because, according to the New York Times, donations that were made through third party apps like PayPal or Venmo, passport information was not always required. So, what’s true? The 2023 letter you sent me or the New York Times article?
  • After you sent me the 2023 letter. ActBlue weakened its fraud prevention rules twice in 2024, quote, ‘even after internal assessments confirmed that these policy changes would lead to more fraudulent donations,’ End quote. Did you weaken fraud prevention standards to increase donations on the ACL blue platform?
  • You’ve been asked legitimate questions that are intended to elicit information the committee has the right to have to aid our inquiry. You’ve refused to answer the questions. Are you formally asserting your Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination today?

Wallace-Jones further stonewalled House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC), refusing to answer the following.

  • Your board chairman said ActBlue accepted up to 38 million contributions in 2024 that had the signs of foreign origin. How much fraud is too much fraud?
  • How many foreign contributions did ActBlue accept?
  • How much money did ActBlue accept from Russia?
  • Why did your entire legal team quit, your in-house legal team?
  • Did your legal team quit because of reduced fraud standards?
  • Did you weaken your fraud standards to help Democrats?
  • Do you regret any of the things that you said or any of the things that ActBlue has done in the past in regards to foreign donations?
  • If you had the chance to pick another place to be employed, would you have joined ActBlue?

June 11, 2026 – FBI raids Ohio voting rights group, questions members across state

FBI agents raided the Cleveland office of an Ohio progressive voting-rights group on June 11 and questioned its members across the state, a board member confirmed.

Agents questioned volunteers and civil rights leaders with the Ohio Organizing Collaborative across the state, looking for evidence of alleged voter fraud, Ohio Organizing Collaborative Board Member Prentiss Haney said. MS NOW first reported about the raid on the nonprofit, which helps register voters and fights for ballot access.

Haney estimated more than 100 agents questioned people currently and previously affiliated with the group across Ohio, including in Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati.

“They were knocking on their doors. They were calling and demanding people to come outside without warrants and using political intimidation tactics, accusing them of alleged voter fraud,” Haney said. “Yes, there was a raid, but there was not just a raid. It was a full onslaught.”

June 11, 2026 – Trump admin blocks payments to ‘obviously fraudulent’ Los Angeles homeless agency

President Donald Trump and Secretary of HUD Scott Turner on April 4, 2019. ((Credit: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

The Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Donald Trump announced an “immediate suspension” on all funding to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, citing a “clear pattern of fraud.”

“Year after year, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars were funneled to LAHSA with little accountability,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a statement Thursday. “Meanwhile, homelessness skyrocketed. Taxpayers will no longer bankroll an organization that puts its own self-interests ahead of the Americans it was created to serve.”

The New York Post reported in March that taxpayers are paying up to $1.5 million per homeless person in Los Angeles. This amount is nearly eight times larger than the average 50-year-old’s retirement fund and more than 20 times larger than the average 35- to 39-year-old’s retirement fund, per Fidelity Investments reporting.

While much of these funds are sourced from the city and county of LA, nearly $1 billion in federal taxpayer dollars have gone toward LAHSA since 2021.

The HUD press release cites multiple instances that the agency claims “establish a clear pattern of fraud,” including poor financial management and internal controls, conflicts of interest, and false certifications and statements.

“During a 2025 assessment, LAHSA failed to provide documentation to verify the existence of nearly 2,300 housing sites for which it was responsible,” the press release said. “The agency’s former CEO resigned after she and LAHSA violated federal conflict-of-interest rules by committing more than $2 million in federal funds under LAHSA’s control to her husband’s employer.”

June 11, 2026 – Two court clerks in Utah are indicted for helping illegal alien avoid ICE custody

Two court clerks in Logan, Utah, face federal charges with potentially up to 25 years in prison after allegedly obstructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

WHAT HAPPENED: Two court clerks in Logan, Utah, have been indicted for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

DETAIL: Described as “self-appointed ICE vigilantes,” 26-year-old Lauren Morrow and 27-year-old Jennifer Joma allegedly helped an illegal immigrant evade custody. The pair allegedly prevented ICE from executing a warrant at Logan City Municipal Justice Court in April. The two clerks went through the court’s database to check the immigration status of people on the docket, identified a Guatemalan man, the ICE target, and two women, one of whom was from Mexico, and snuck them out the back of the courthouse where Joma drove them away in her car. CCTV footage captured Morrow making a crude gesture at the security camera, with the two apparently reveling in their alleged actions.

June 11, 2026 – DHS Secretary Mullin reveals 146,000 trafficked children during Biden regime are found; many claim they were raped several hundred times

OMG. DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin reveals some children trafficked across the Democrats’ border say they were R*PED *600-700 TIMES*

“I don’t care who you are…liberal, independent, Republican, if you can’t STAND for law enforcement to find these kids, WHO ARE YOU?!” 💯

“We found 146,000 kids so far. 146,000 kids. We still have nearly 300,000 missing. We’re investigating reports to where some of these kids claim that they were r*ped 600 to 700 times.”

The Democrats hear this and either don’t care or want to pretend it’s not happening. Traitors.

June 12, 2026 – Texas Parole Supervisor fired over racist anti-white post about Austin Metcalf case

Former Texas Department of Criminal Justice parole supervisor, Donna Murray Robinson (Credit: Facebook)

A Texas Department of Criminal Justice parole supervisor has been fired after posting vile anti-white racist comments on social media in response to the conviction of Karmelo Anthony for the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.

Donna Murray Robinson, who was a TDCJ Parole Supervisor working with the Board of Pardons and Parole, posted on Facebook shortly after Anthony’s conviction and sentencing earlier this week.

In the post, she expressed no sympathy for the Metcalf family and called for white people to start “burying their own kids.”

“I am a Parole Supervisor at TX DCJ,” Robinson began. “Karmelo will be ok I can almost assure you he will be protected on the inside. I for one don’t give fk about the family’s loss.”

Robinson continued, “It’s about time these fking bigots feel the pain that they have inflicted on other groups of people since the beginning of time!”

“I’m just glad we didn’t have to bury another black child. Let them start burying some of theirs for a change. FK’em I said what I said.”

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice confirmed her termination on Friday.

A department spokeswoman told The Dallas Morning News that Robinson was fired after a review of her public statements.

The spokesperson noted that the position “carries significant public trust and requires decisions free from personal bias.”

“These statements are incompatible with TDCJ policy and values. They demonstrate bias and a lack of the impartiality essential to the fair administration of justice in Texas,” the statement said. “Discriminatory or inflammatory conduct that erodes public confidence in the criminal justice system will not be tolerated.”

June 12, 2026 – Meet the Democratic Socialists’ paramilitary army of Red Rabbits

In 2009, Barack Obama advocated an internal, Gestapo-like security force:

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

That never came to pass, and Obama apologists whined that The Lightbringer was only talking about the sum of the enforcement arms of the Federal Government. He plainly wasn’t, but if they were correct, that goal reached fruition during Obama’s third term: Biden’s Handler’s Administration. Their “whole of government” approach to weaponization against Normal Americans—largely but not exclusively Republicans—was the closest thing Democrats have been able to manage.

What Obama, and other Democrats mean is that to impose “our Democracy,” a tyranny of the majority, on our constitutional republic, will require an actual army, as well as disarmament of citizens. They know they won’t be able to rely on our military and federal law enforcement to oppress and kill their fellow Americans. Certainly, the COVID oppression revealed some of them will, but not enough. It’s an ongoing project for them, one taken up by the Democratic Socialists—there’s a misnomer—of America:

As its national influence has risen, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has simultaneously grown more extreme. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the group’s “Red Rabbits” initiative. The Red Rabbits Security Commission, a subgroup within the DSA focused on “community defense” efforts, is, according to its authorizing resolution, preparing for a “national uprising against federal agents and police brutality.” In practice, that means training cadres in tactics like armed and unarmed self-defense, blocking intersections, and fighting “fascists” with umbrellas.

“Red Rabbits?” The “red”—as in communists and Mao’s Red Guard—is no coincidence. They’re thugs, enforcers, the armed vanguard of the coming revolution, the new embodiment of Obama’s “civilian national security force.” The One must be so proud. The article notes they’re worried about IRS scrutiny because they could lose their tax-exempt status and that of their funding sources. They ought to be worried about DOJ scrutiny too.

The Red Rabbits claim that their focus is on five core security skills: de-escalation, Stop the Bleed (a first aid training on bleeding control), firearm safety, unarmed self-defense, and protest marshalling (crowd management during demonstrations). The commission has set a goal of having at least five members in 40 percent of DSA chapters complete these trainings.

During the event [a meeting of the DSA’s central political committee], local chapters described a range of security preparations broader than that envisioned by the national commission. These included martial-arts sparring, evacuation planning, wound-packing, radio communications, the use of umbrellas and signs to shield participants from and block “fascists,” and even chemical-exposure training, in which participants practiced being pepper-sprayed.

As one might imagine, there’s a “queer” element to this militancy:

Some chapters already conduct in-house trainings or are working to expand them, such as the Philadelphia chapter’s plan to develop what one member called “sick” firearm-safety trainings. The DSA’s Oklahoma City Queer Fight Club has evidently become a local training hub, teaching self-defense and broader “community defense” skills. Portland DSA has organized trainings on blocking intersections with bicycles, a practice known as “corking.”

These Red Rabbits are some of the people we’re seeing at violent, anti-immigration enforcement street insurrections across the country. We’re steadily discovering more about their funding, both internal and foreign, and their connections to hostile foreign regimes.  These are not spontaneous, local, grassroots “protests,” but nationally coordinated, directed, and financed attacks against legitimate authority designed to destabilize America and replace our constitutional, representative republic with a totalitarian communist dictatorship.

Inside the DSA’s Emerging Militant Network

As its national influence has risen, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has simultaneously grown more extreme. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the group’s “Red Rabbits” initiative. The Red Rabbits Security Commission, a subgroup within the DSA focused on “community defense” efforts, is, according to its authorizing resolution, preparing for a “national uprising against federal agents and police brutality.” In practice, that means training cadres in tactics like armed and unarmed self-defense, blocking intersections, and fighting “fascists” with umbrellas.

A recent panel offered an unprecedented window into what the project looks like. Organizers from Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Tucson, Austin, and Portland compared notes. As the discussion made clear, the DSA is trying to construct a nationwide security apparatus to support its expanding role in street protests and direct-action organizing. And in so doing, it fears drawing the attention of the Internal Revenue Service—likely with good reason.

The DSA launched the Red Rabbits Security Commission at its 2025 national convention. Organizers chose the deliberately innocuous name as a nod to the novel Watership Down, in which anthropomorphized rabbits are outnumbered and beset by enemies. Earlier branding proposals, including “National Vigilance Committee,” were deemed too politically stark, with some members concerned that they could be interpreted as an endorsement of vigilantism.

The Red Rabbits claim that their focus is on five core security skills: de-escalation, Stop the Bleed (a first aid training on bleeding control), firearm safety, unarmed self-defense, and protest marshalling (crowd management during demonstrations).

June 11, 2026 – Virginia’s Loudoun County Schools Supt. Aaron Spence testifies it’s required by Federal law to let biological boys in girls restrooms and locker rooms

Under oath before Congress, Loudoun Virginia County Schools Supt. Aaron Spence was asked if biological men should be in locker rooms and shower rooms with biological girls.

His answer: “Federal law requires it. Yes.”

It does NOT.

The Dept. of Education ruled the opposite — LCPS’s policy violates Title IX, and the district is under active federal investigation for it. This is what ideological capture looks like.

Full Hearing – Loudoun County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Aaron Spence is set to testify before a congressional committee Wednesday. The hearing will focus on parental rights, school policies and legal issues in education. Spence’s appearance comes as LCPS remains under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education.

June 12, 2026 – DNI Tulsi Gabbard releases new information on 120 U.S. government funded gain-of-function biolabs operating worldwide

Moments ago, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released the first batch in a series of declassified documents highlighting 120 U.S. government biolabs that are operating throughout the world.  Many of these biolabs are working on weaponized viruses and present a significant threat to public safety.

TULSI GABBARD – “Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.” WATCH:

DNI Press Release: WASHINGTON D.C. — After months of searching through Intelligence Community holdings and files, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is revealing new evidence of longstanding United States government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries. These biolabs include labs in Ukraine, which may be at risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. For example, the Intelligence Community previously warned that a US-funded biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to longstanding threats of Russian attack, seizure, or damage.

The newly declassified evidence can be found HERE.

Until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from the American people. The information surrounding the existence, history, locations and funding of these US funded biolabs has been intentionally covered up by powerful people falsely, claiming that they do not exist and accusing anyone who says otherwise to be foreign assets and traitors to America.

Many of these U.S. government-funded biolabs are currently or have previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens, in some cases to include dangerous Gain-of-Function research, with very little visibility or oversight.

President Trump understands the serious threat dangerous Gain-of-Function research poses to the American people, which is why he took decisive action on May 25, 2025, signing EO 14292 to end federal funding of Gain-of-Function research around the world.

“Despite the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have, politicians, so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded and supported biolabs, and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth. ODNI will continue to work closely with partners across the government to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain to end dangerous Gain-of-Function research that threatens the health and wellbeing of the American people and people around the world,” said DNI Gabbard.

DNI Gabbard issued new guidance to the Intelligence Community directing increased collection on these laboratories and facilities overseas. This directive is already providing new details on clinical trials that are underway at these facilities, raising significant ethical, financial, and security concerns regarding these supposed public health initiatives and U.S. national security.

June 14, 2026 – Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao were paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group known as MEK

THREAD: What do Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao have in common? They were all paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group that was designated as terrorist until 2012.

No, this is not a joke.

Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) was founded by leftist Islamists to oppose the western-backed Pahlavi, and participated in his 1979 overthrow. Khomeini barred MEK afterwards. MEK was implicated in multiple bombings, including that of Americans, and remained an openly armed group until 2003.

Since they got de-listed as a terrorist organization in 2012 on procedural grounds, MEK and their fronts have been actively recruiting US politicians selling themselves as a moderate alternative to Khomeini. But RAND Corporation says MEK meets the qualifications for a cult, citing criteria such as forcing their members to work 16+ hour days and forced divorces.

Polls of the Iranian-American community shows that they do NOT accept Rajavi, MeK’s leader, as legitimate, with a 46-point net disapproval – numbers nearly as bad as the existing regime.

As Pence’s former Chief of Staff, Marc Short, has already weighed against Trump deal, it’s helpful to recall this.

Receipts below. As always, patience as I pull the thread together.👇

June 14, 2026 – Sen. Mark Warner says intel community “terrified of showing” information to Bill Pulte

There comes a certain point when you just have to listen to the corrupt deep state operatives within the Intelligence Community openly state the nature of their activity.

Yes, I have laid it out for multiple years. Yes, people have not grasped how Machiavellian the network is. Yes, the DC denial and media obfuscation is rampant. However, just listen to them and they will eventually tell you exactly how weaponized the United States intelligence system is.  This is a quote:

…“Well, my fear is not so much the damage [Pulte] could do on Section 702, which has a full audit trail. If he misuses that, we’ll figure it out but having him exposed where he doesn’t even have a security clearance to all our nation’s classified programs, out of ignorance, he might give away information. I’ve had heads of our intelligence communities say to us they’re terrified of showing him information. I’ve had foreign governments express huge concern.“

Obviously, playing the role of guardian for the system, Margaret Brennan doesn’t immediately ask, who are these “heads of our intelligence communities?” or “who are these foreign governments?”  Likely for the same reason HPSCI member Elise Stefanik never pressed the rogue political operation issue with FBI Director James Comey on March 20, 2017.

(FULL Transcript) – MARGARET BRENNAN: We’re joined now by the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, Virginia Senator Mark Warner. It’s good to have you here.

SENATOR MARK WARNER: Thank you, Margaret.

MARGARET BRENNAN: As you heard from the Secretary, a lot of these very important details have to still be negotiated. What do you think, though, of the emerging ceasefire and agreement, because you favored diplomacy?

SEN. WARNER: Listen, if the President can declare victory, so be it. You heard Pete Hegseth’s pitch. Let’s look at the real facts. 107 days into Donald Trump’s war of choice, can anyone make the case that we, or our allies, are in a better spot than before this war? The regime’s leadership is more radical than ever. The ability for us to get the enriched uranium out, I believe, will require troops on the ground, which I don’t think America wants to do. The idea that we have a 60 day additional negotiation, where does that lead? We’ll be here 60 days, still won’t have access to it. Clearly, after Hegseth had said, “We’ve destroyed all their capabilities,” they still have plenty of missiles and thousands of drones, and the idea that the strait is suddenly going to be magically reopened. Look at the gas prices, they went from $2.80 to $4.20 and I believe they’ll go up more because the overall world reserves have all come down. How is that better for America or better for our allies?

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, it’s- there are a lot of details in here that, like I said, still have to be negotiated, and when we look at Congress’s role in terms of peeling back some of these sanctions, this was hugely controversial during the Obama administration. Do you think ultimately that whatever is hammered out by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and JD Vance, the Vice President, will come up for approval? Do you get any say?

SEN. WARNER: Well, first of all, the idea that these three gentlemen that have very little background in terms of negotiations or the technical nature of nuclear negotiations going against a hardened Iranian team that’s been doing this for decades. I wish we had some of our experts at the table as well, but I’m not sure any of this will be coming before Congress, and it should. I mean, if the President wanted to start this war, a war of choice, there was no imminent threat from Iran. Come to the Congress, come to the people, and lay out the case. He has not, and we have not done the kind of oversight that is required.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yeah.

SEN. WARNER: We are slowly moving along and getting additional Republicans to say stop on the War Powers Act, but Congress has failed miserably.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I- before I move on to other things, I just want to put a fine point on the U.S. intelligence assessment was not that Iran was creating a nuclear weapon, but that they wanted the possibility to make one in the future. Given what they have, the nuclear dust, the dirty bomb in the desert scenario, does that still worry you? How concerned should Americans be?

SEN. WARNER: Yes, I’m still worried. And for all his critique of JCPOA, we had international observers, we actually had an alliance there that included the Europeans, and Russia and China were all signatories. Now it is America going alone or going with Israel only, and that does not make us safer. And again, I will be happy to come back on the show and eat my words if the Iranians over the next 60 days give up that enriched uranium.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yeah, well, we’ll watch for whatever happens next. I want to ask you about surveillance here and the lapse of a key authority. On Thursday, the President did appoint Jay Clayton, he said, who will be the next Director of National Intelligence, instead of Bill Pulte, to who I know you oppose–

SEN. WARNER: Not only I oppose–

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yeah–

SEN. WARNER: –but all of the Republican senators who will know anything about national security opposed as well.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes, there are some pretty colorful statements, but Clayton is the current US attorney for the Southern District of New York, a former SEC chair. How quickly can he move into the role? I mean, he doesn’t necessarily have the kind of extensive national security background that–

(CROSSTALK)

SEN. WARNER: Law enforcement, he was head of the SEC, and as Southern District of New York, that’s where we pursue a lot of our terrorists. I know Jay. I think he’s got the right temperament. I’ve got a lot of questions, like who won the election in 2020, so he at least acknowledges that truthfulness. But remember, Margaret, this was totally caused by Donald Trump.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well–

SEN. WARNER: He could have nominated Jay Clayton a week ago–

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yeah.

SEN. WARNER: –and we wouldn’t have gone dark.

MARGARET BRENNAN: This is an extraordinary series of events that we have to take more time to talk about on the other side of the break. Let me take it, and we’ll finish it. We’ll be right back.

(ANNOUNCEMENTS)

MARGARET BRENNAN: Welcome back to Face the Nation. We return to our conversation now with Senator Mark Warner. Before the break, Senator, we were talking about the next Director of National Intelligence. The hearing for Jay Clayton is next week, this Wednesday, right? How quickly can he get confirmed, and what does that do in terms of blocking Bill Pulte from ever taking the job?

SEN. WARNER: Well, I’ve got questions for Jay, like, want to make sure that he’s going to maintain the integrity of our elections, not try to pull the things that Miss Gabbard did, where she was interfering in domestic election activities with the seizure of the ballots in Fulton County. My hope is, if we can get unanimous consent, we could even get him confirmed this week. I would hope that the President would then say to Tulsi Gabbard, who is going to stay till the end of the month, stay at least until Clayton is confirmed, or allow the number two to stay.

MARGARET BRENNAN: That’s a shocking statement from you, because you are a huge critic of Tulsi Gabbard.

(CROSSTALK)

SEN. WARNER: I am a huge critic.

MARGARET BRENNAN: How much damage could Bill Pulte actually do in a matter of days?

SEN. WARNER: Well, my fear is not so much the damage he could do on Section 702, which has a full audit trail. If he misuses that, we’ll figure it out, but having him exposed where he doesn’t even have a security clearance to all our nation’s classified programs, out of ignorance, he might give away information. I’ve had heads of our intelligence communities say to us they’re terrified of showing him information. I’ve had foreign governments express huge concern. The one thing we know about Bill Pulte is ¹he will do whatever Donald Trump says. He was able to weaponize private mortgage insurance information, giving them the keys to the 18 intelligence agencies would be a disaster and a national security threat.

[¹NOTE: So, the DNI should NOT DO whatever the President of the United States tells him or her?]

MARGARET BRENNAN: So, I’m understanding you will withhold your vote to reauthorize FISA based on this.

SEN. WARNER: Listen, we have to get FISA reauthorized. We were on a glide path–

(CROSSTALK)

MARGARET BRENNAN: This is a warrantless surveillance tool. ²This is a foreigner concern abroad.

SEN. WARNER: ²Foreigners listening in on foreigners talking to foreigners abroad. None of this needed to happen if Donald Trump had- he didn’t even come out in support of this tool until about six weeks ago. If he put forward Clayton or somebody else six weeks ago, if he would have done even Jay Clayton a few days earlier. I actually think Donald Trump wants this tool to expire because he would then try to blame Democrats if, God forbid, if anything happens. And the remarkable thing on this is normally we come on here and it’s Democrats versus Republicans–

[NOTE: Nonsense. The term “702” specifically and uniquely is applied to Americans with constitutional protection. “702” has nothing to do with intercepting or investigating foreigners – Nothing at all. Foreigners are not protected by the Constitution!]

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yeah.

SEN. WARNER: –this one is not. My Republican colleagues have worked hand in glove. If there is something that happens, God forbid, the responsibility lies with one man, Donald Trump.

MARGARET BRENNAN: That is a tremendous statement that you think the president actually wants this tool to not be accessible. I mean, it’s the congressional authorization expired on Friday. Your Republican counterpart, Senator Tom Cotton, described the consequences as severe, potentially fatal, considering all the mass gatherings in America right now. How vulnerable is the US right now? Have Google and Verizon and the rest said, if you come and ask me for information, I won’t hand it over?

SEN. WARNER: What has happened is those investigations that have already started continue.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay.

SEN. WARNER: Our ability to continue to listen to bad guys talking to bad guys abroad continues. The question is whether you can start new actions, and we are now, and I’ve not gotten a report yet whether the telcos and the Googles are going to continue to adhere or whether, because they don’t have the indemnification, they’ll stop participating. We don’t have, I don’t- as of Sunday morning, I don’t have an answer on that. I hope the Justice Department would use all the tools they can to try to encourage them to continue this program, for what will be, whether we like it now or not, a short-term lapse.

MARGARET BRENNAN: But Democrats are using their leverage here with FISA to force the president to change his nominees. He did that, so why do we have a Democrat standing up, and for example, blocking unanimous consent in regard to reauthorizing even a short-term surveillance too? This seems to be national security risk of huge proportion.

SEN. WARNER: National security risk caused because Donald Trump did not put forward Clayton or anyone else that was legitimate until the clock had run out. There is no question. If you got any of my Republican colleagues here, they would agree this was a White House-created problem. And finally, somebody got to Trump and said, “You got to put a rational person in, not this guy who’s not even got a national security clearance.” We will get Clayton, I hope, confirmed as quickly as possible. We will then move very quickly to get FISA reauthorized. In the interim, I hope the telcos will continue to cooperate with the government.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Senator Mark Warner, thank you for your time today.

SEN. WARNER: Thank you, Margaret.

June 15, 2026 – Gavin Newsom announces he and his wife are under federal investigation

California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday fumed, saying he and his wife are under federal investigation.

The scope of the investigation is unclear; however, Newsom said federal agents have contacted people and organizations close to him and his wife, Jennifer Newsom.

People close to the Newsoms have been subpoenaed for records, according to the governor.

Recall that Newsom’s former chief of staff Dana Williamson was indicted on federal wire fraud charges last year.

According to Semafor, there are several investigations related to Newsom and they are focused on Jennifer Newsom’s taxes (+ his chief of staff).

Contrary to Newsom’s claims, the investigations did not originate from main DOJ in DC, but are out of Sacramento and involve whistleblowers, Semafor reported.

The California Democrat absurdly claimed that President Trump is trying to jail his political enemies.

“Today, my wife and I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime – they are simply trying to find one,” Newsom said in a video posted to X.

“If he can’t intimidate me, he’ll go after the mother of our children,” Newsom said.

“He isn’t coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President,” Newsom said.

“He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history,” the California Democrat added.

(Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 6/15/2026)  (Archive)

(…) In March, The California Post reported that the governor had funneled millions of dollars to a non-profit organization founded by his wife through what are called “behested payments.”

(…) Gov. Newsom has “behested” donations to a variety of causes — including the California Partners Project, a nonprofit organization founded by his wife that focuses on gender equity.

Sometimes, the donors have interests at stake in decisions by the state government.

The Washington Free Beacon reported in 2025 that the governor had asked a Native American tribe to make two separate $500,000 donations to the California Partners Project. He apparently took that tribe’s side in a dispute with another tribe over a casino. (Read more: New York Post, 6/15/2026)

June 15, 2026 – Car insurance premiums rise to record highs to subsidize increased costs due to illegal alien drivers

Under the disastrous Open Border Policy of Crooked Joe Biden and his traitorous DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, TENS OF MILLIONS of criminals, including over 13,000 STONE-COLD MURDERERS, poured into our Country from Prisons and Jails, from Mental Institutions and Insane Asylums. Needless to say, they were NOT always the safest drivers! Car Insurance Premiums rose to RECORD HIGHS, forcing Law-abiding American Citizens to subsidize the “free riding” Biden Illegals. After over a year of ZERO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, and our highly successful efforts to REVERSE the Biden Invasion, Car Insurance Premiums have come tumbling down. MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

June 15, 2026 – British Prime Minister announces social media information control system for all Brits to protect “children”

Leftist British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has lost support among the majority of voters within the United Kingdom as evidenced by the shellacking his party took in the recent election.  However, as the embattled leader clings to power by telling law enforcement to crackdown on anti-government voices, he extends the control mechanisms under the guise of “protecting children.”

If you are a social media user or internet user in the U.K, you now have to prove your age by proving your identity. It is obvious to the non-pretenders that proving your identity is the objective; the ruse to force the mandate is to prove your age. This is the way a grand lie is deployed in order to achieve an objective.  ‘All your information are belong to us.’

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivers a press conference with the announcement from 10 Downing Street. He announces a sweeping ban on social media for children under 16, describing it as a “big step” to protect young people from online harm. Starmer defends the policy as necessary to tackle “addictive algorithms, cyberbullying, and mental health risks.”  Britain will follow Australia’s example in raising the minimum age to 16 for sites such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, and Snapchat.

BIG PICTURE: Australia, New Zealand and Canada all have social media control systems in place. Now, the U.K joins with them.  What does Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the U.K have on common?  They are all part of the 5-Eyes intelligence network.  This is an IC operation. Don’t lose sight of it.

This is a freedom battle against aligned interests that have historically used the intelligence community as their main strategy.

From the western globalist perspective, you must always accept their #1 priority is information control. It doesn’t matter what the tool or technique of the day being discussed it, the #1 issue -for them- is to control information.

Look at everything, including and importantly the current AI discussions and debate, through the prism of information control. COVID-19 taught you the lesson. Information control is the objective.

Social media restrictions, internet restrictions, the terms ‘mis-dis-mal-information’ etc., the AI race, election systems they can manage, demonetizing or deboosting, CISA, NED, USAID, the payment to “influencers”, media bans, all of it, the sum of every effort, tool and technique is about controlling information.

June 17, 2026 – President Trump suspends DNI nomination and FISA support, pending Save America Act

Delivering a statement via Truth Social returning from the G7 in France.  President Trump has suspended the nomination of SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, cancelling Wednesday afternoon’s SSCI hearing on the nomination.

The late-night timing appears to be due to President Trump focused on the G7 discussions and now turns his focus back to the domestic agenda; DNI, Save America Act and FISA (702) reauthorization.

President Trump outlines in the Truth Social post that FISA (702) renewal must be attached to the Save America Act, and Jay Clayton’s replacement, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed to replace Clayton in the SDNY prior to the DNI nomination moving forward. This position puts Bill Pulte’s appointment as Acting DNI back into the mix.

BillPulte, Donald Trump and Jay Clayton (Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

VIA TRUTH SOCIAL – “The Republicans agreed with Dumocrats to remove very fair, and talented, William Pulte, from serving as Acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Dumocrats. However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA.

Now, the Dumocrats are saying they will vote against FISA — So, the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but Dumocrats broke the Deal.

In addition, the newly nominated U.S. Attorney, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed and blue slipped. Because of the ridiculous views of Republicans on blue slipping (Dumocrats are often willing to nix it), I may not be able to get the extraordinary Sullivan & Cromwell Partner, Jamie, approved, and I don’t want to take Jay Clayton away from the great job he is doing until Jamie is in place.

Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it. Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap.

Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today, and will not be going forward until Jamie McDonald is approved to be U.S. Attorney. In the meantime, Bill Pulte will remain as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

None of these back-and-forth moves would be necessary if Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune were aligned with the Republican President. Alas, with Thune representing a dysfunctional wing of a Senate UniParty, his priorities are in alignment against the President.

This was where things stood with Thune before the Truth Social post (prompted).

In a note of irony, I think we can all thank John Cornyn for this outcome and response by President Trump. John Cornyn told AG nominee Todd Blanche he was withholding support until the DOJ gave him Trump family tax information.

However, John Cornyn was very happy with Jay Clayton and FISA renewal.

(Conservative Treehouse, 6/17/2026)  (Archive)

The second, seemingly unrelated story that unfolded right as FISA expired, was barely reported anywhere. On Friday, without any fanfare, the White House issued a dense, technical directive —it’s like an Executive Order– that was blandly titled, “National Security Presidential Memorandum NSPM-12.”

NPSM-12, known only by its acronym, could potentially be one of the most significant intelligence reorganizations in modern history. We don’t know much, since there was no press conference or signing ceremony for this one. They just slipped it in. The corporate media looked the other way. Trade media was less sanguine:

Remember how DOGE worked on a technical level? DOGE agents invaded every major federal agency and office. They linked all the important databases. They synchronized all the critical records. They mapped the payments, contracts, recipients, approvers, and contractors. They forced the big agencies to standardize on a single email platform. Throughout 2025, they fought and won lawsuits to link Social Security, Treasury, Medicaid, and ICE, so checks won’t go out to dead people, and illegals can’t get welfare or tax refunds.

In other words, DOGE tied federal agency databases together, providing the White House with a level of real-time visibility that had never existed before. In particular, DOGE made it possible to follow the money. Over about twelve months, years of deeply buried activity became a searchable evidence trail. Now, DOGE systems empower Trump’s Fraud Task Force. That’s why Democrats fought DOGE so hard.

🔥 NSPM-12 just launched the same transparency process, but this time for the intelligence agencies. The memo “is different than what we usually see,” NextGov advised. Instead of “wiggle room, vague timelines, and the ‘consistent with applicable law’ language that gives everyone room to slow walk implementation, there are named officials. Hard deadlines. A governance body with actual authority to issue binding directives.”

In other words, a control architecture.

Writ large, NPSM-12 places all national security systems under the authority of a single agency, the NSA, for cybersecurity purposes. This makes superficial sense in an age when AI chatbots are racing toward a quantum singularity that could crack any existing encryption.

But some of the NSPM’s related powers could also challenge the standard operating procedures of all clandestine work. One wonky analysis of the order said, “Agencies will be required to maintain annual inventories of all National Security Systems under their control.” And, the NSA “will be able to issue emergency directives requiring agencies to take immediate action, to protect sensitive networks.”

The first example that sprang to mind was the FBI’s alleged “Prohibited Access” files— the Bureau’s second set of books-off-the-books that Kash Patel’s team uncovered. NSPM-12 would have disclosed its existence. The parts of that dark-file system that were electronically stored, searched, transmitted, encrypted, cross-loaded, or hidden within FBI infrastructure— they now fall under the NSA’s brand-new role as National Manager.

That means the FBI’s so-secret-the-secret-is-secret prohibited access system must be inventoried, logged, audited, secured, and surfaced. Assuming the other agencies are pursuing the same “prohibited access” angle (why wouldn’t they?), it will be devastating for generations of deep state skunkworks.

June 16, 2026 – Updated: Feds unseal indictment charging 15 Minneapolis Antifa militants; chaos erupts outside courthouse

All hell broke loose on Tuesday afternoon outside the federal courthouse in St. Paul, Minnesota, after federal prosecutors indicted 15 members of Antifa.

As TGP’s Cassandra MacDonald reported earlier Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota unsealed a federal indictment charging 15 defendants over their alleged roles in two Minneapolis-based Antifa groups that violently opposed the enforcement of federal immigration law during Operation Metro Surge.

“Today, a federal indictment was unsealed charging 15 defendants with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers and other charges related to efforts of two Minneapolis-based ANTIFA groups that violently opposed the enforcement of federal law in our state.”

WATCH:

“Working closely with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, our investigation uncovered extensive planning, material support, and coordinated attacks against federal personnel and facilities,” DHS special agent Michael McCarthy said.

“It is not optional – we will enforce the law. Any attempt to undermine it through violence or intimidation will be met with DECISIVE ACTION,” Homeland Security Special Agent in Charge Michael McCarthy said.

WATCH:

(Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 6/16/2026) (Archive)

UPDATE 6/18/2026:

(…) US Attorney for Minnesota Daniel Rosen announced that the defendants are allegedly involved with Twin Cities Direct Action, later renamed Direct Action Minnesota, or “DAMN,” a collective that organizes anti-ICE operations across the Minneapolis area. The 94-page indictment alleges the cell trained extremists in surveillance, rapid mobilization, shield tactics, blockade operations, and methods designed to interfere with federal immigration enforcement.
The indictment also identifies the Black Cat Workers Collective, a Minneapolis-based Antifa affinity group, as a key component of the network. The group promotes militant tactics, physical confrontation, and revolutionary political objectives while organizing actions against ICE and law enforcement, according to prosecutors.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) conducted home raids on Tuesday morning and took 12 of the 15 defendants into custody. Two defendants remain at large, and another defendant was already in jail.
The defendants have been charged with conspiracy to impede or injure federal agents and officers, alleging they worked together from January through June 2026 to prevent ICE and other Department of Homeland Security personnel from carrying out federal duties.

The defendants named in the indictment include:

  • Isaac Auman Sant, aka “Isaac Datto,” “Ike”
  • Emmett James Doyle, aka “Plotnikov”
  • Cameron Kennedy, aka “Cam,” “Olive Knife,” “Knife”
  • Callum Robinet, aka “Juliet K,” “Juliet,” “Cal”
  • Erik Davis, aka “Erico”
  • Brian Stillwell Apland, aka “Tiny”
  • Kyle Wagner, aka “Kaos”
  • Hannah Margaret Van de Water Davis, aka “Gabriel Van De Water,” “Nube”
  • Treasure Cay Thoreson, aka “Schatzi”

June 16, 2026 – SPLC boss funneled $1.2 million to lover in neo-Nazi group and had a joint bank account

A top Southern Poverty Law Center official is accused of helping funnel $1.2 million in donor money to an informant in the National Alliance white supremacist group — who was also allegedly her lover.

The Department of Justice filed a superseding indictment against the SPLC accusing it of funneling donor cash to hate groups they were then telling donors they were fighting.

One figure, referred to as “Employee-2” in the indictment, is described as a “person who would become Director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project.”

Former top SPLC official Heidi Beirich is believed to be “Employee-2” in the federal indictment against the bloated anti-hate nonprofit. (Credit: Getty Images)

It also describes how “Employee-2” wrote an article based on material stolen from National Alliance headquarters in 2014 and then paid off an informant to take the blame for the robbery.

Based on the details in the June 2 superseding indictment, “Employee-2” is believed to be Heidi Beirich, a 58-year-old fascism expert who was the director of intelligence at the Alabama-based anti-extremism nonprofit between 2012 and 2019.

The indictment alleges Beirich was very close to the informant known only as “F-9” who “infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance.”

“[Beirich] was also in a romantic relationship with F-9. During this relationship, [Beirich] and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts,” the indictment alleges.

“Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donors’ money flowed from the SPLC operating account … and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and [Beirich].

“This amounted to approximately 66% of all money ever deposited into their joint bank accounts. [Beirich] then used donors’ money to pay the couple’s personal living expenses.”

The indictment also claims that while getting paid by the SPLC, the unnamed informant was also raising money for the National Alliance and helping to “carry out its extremist activities.”

The indictment describes how a source broke into National Alliance’s headquarters in West Virginia in 2014 and “stole approximately 25 boxes of documents,” took them over state lines into North Carolina and copied them, before returning the originals.

In 2015, Beirich wrote an article allegedly based on the stolen materials for her group’s “Hatewatch” section of its website. That article, “Chaos at the Compound,” is still available.

The indictment then describes how the SPLC tried to cover up who their informant was by paying a second informant “approximately $6,000” to take responsibility for the burglary. (Read more: New York Post, 6/16/2026)  (Archive)

June 16, 2026 – Fulton judge rules SOS can secretly compile voting results despite Georgia election law

Judge Melynee Leftridge

ATLANTA, GA. JUNE 16, 2026 – Fulton County Superior Court Judge Melynee Leftridge issued an order Friday allowing Secretary of State (SOS) Brad Raffensperger to continue compiling election results from a secret bunker on Election Night. The order, effective for tonight’s runoff, was issued in response to a mandamus claim brought by candidates Greg Dolezal, Keli Gambrill and Chris Mora to force the SOS to comply with Georgia law.

Georgia law states:

“Superintendents, poll officers, and other officials engaged in the conducting of primaries and elections held under this chapter shall perform their duties in public.” O.C.G.A. § 21-2-406

However, Judge Leftridge noted in her order:

“And the term ‘other officials engaged in the conducting of primaries and elections’ does not expand those definitions nor does it apply to the Secretary of State”:

Judge Leftridge went on to claim:

“…the unrebutted credible testimony presented regarding the issue from the Elections Director indicates that central aggregation is not a duty the Secretary of State performs under the Georgia Election Code.”

However, even if he said that, Georgia State Election Director Blake Evans is not an attorney and is not allowed to make a legal conclusion.

Furthermore, Georgia law clearly defines the verification, aggregation, and publishing activities performed in the bunker on Election Night as a duty of the SOS, which includes:

(6) To receive from the superintendent the returns of primaries and elections and to canvass and compute the votes cast for candidates and upon questions, as required by this chapter; …” O.C.G.A. § 21-2-50(6)

Leftridge is now the second Fulton County judge in two months who allowed Raffensperger to operate above the law during Georgia elections. On May 4, 2026, Judge Belinda Edwards issued an order allowing Raffensperger to reject a challenge to his candidacy without routing it to an Administrative Court hearing as required by Georgia law. O.C.G.A. §21-2-5(b).

The Georgia Emergency Management Agency operates the bunker in metro Atlanta for state emergency purposes. No Georgia counties aggregate precinct election results in secret. Attorney David Oles, who represents the candidates, stated he will appeal the decision to pursue transparency for all voters in the November General Election.

VoterGA is a non-partisan, 501(c)3 registered non-profit organization created by a coalition of citizens working to restore election integrity in Georgia. We advocate for independently verifiable, auditable, recount capable, transparent, and tamper-proof elections.

June 16, 2026 – The deep state media is publishing fake news about Trump’s Iran deal

The 14-point draft memorandum that Bloomberg News obtained and published on or around June 16, 2026 (article titled “Read the 14-Point Draft Memorandum Between the US and Iran”). Bloomberg describes it as “the text of the 14-point draft memorandum, as seen by Bloomberg News.” It is not an officially released government document from the US or Iran — it is a draft/near-final version they obtained and reported on.

Bloomberg’s reported draft of the interim US-Iran MOU/framework. That’s the main “text” circulating and being debated. It is not an officially authenticated final MOU,

PSA:
When you see EVERY paid “influencer” on X suddenly unite and flip on President @realDonaldTrump
over a supposed “LEAKED comprehensive plan” that is still being created with regional partners — and a final agreement that hasn’t even been formulated yet……

Especially right after @VP goes on a highly publicized #MSM press tour hitting @TheView and
@MegynKellyShow

IT’S AN OP.

Most likely one designed for the enemy, not #MAGA:
“What is the common theme when bad news is about to break (against them)?”

SOMETHING ABOUT TO HAPPEN?
STAY VIGILANT.

Surrounding Middle East countries are taking control of their own region. We accomplished our mission — a weak, frail, denuclearized IRGC no longer controls the region using fear & terrorism. President @realDonaldTrump is handing any decisions about Iran’s economic future & regional stability over to the more than 200 countries in the Middle East who have a vested interest in a new, prosperous Iran.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Israel & many others.

Are people blind?!! Trump has had this in the works for damn near a decade!

JUST IN: Was just on a media briefing call with a senior US officials who confirm the MOU with Iran has been signed and outlines the following from their POV:

“In general terms, the deal says if you’re willing to behave like a normal country, we’re willing to treat you like a normal country. It’s performance based.”

– Strait of Hormuz is open, but it will take a few weeks to get travel back to normal.

– A signing ceremony on Friday in Geneva including JD Vance, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and others, and a large Iranian contigent.

– The official stressed that we’re here not just because of the last 1.5 years of the Trump administration, but because of the first 4 as well. The sanctions pressures built up and they believe created leverage.

– The reason negotiations have been “very fruitful” was because of the “degredation of [Iran’s] economy” and the “scattering of their government which created a lot of internal pressure.”

– There a significant new communication channels. The official describes the initial Islamabad meeting as very fruitful, despite not resulting in a deal. It laid the groundwork.

– Operation Project Freedom has been an “unsung hero” in this, resulting in over 7 million barrels of oil a day. That increased US leverage.

– The nuclear talks are described as “technical” in terms of how to retrieve the enriched uranium.

– Stressed this is not “pay for play.” They will not get access to markets or release of their funds just for showing up for a meeting.

– There are “fascinating” internal political dynamics playing out in Iran. There are constituencies that want different things. Iran, by all accounts, should be incredibly wealthy.

– “We go in very clear-eyed” that Iran has been a bad faith actor in negotiations for 47 years: “Everything will be verified… all released assets and sanction relief is tied to milestones.”

– The US will keep the current military force posture for now to make sure Iran “does what they say they’re going to do.” The deal contemplates a partial draw down upon the signing of the nuclear deal.”

– “One of the aspects of the negotiation that was actually easier than others was the nuclear, because they need our technical expertise to get the dust out.”

– Iran would probably love to have a nuclear weapon, but they know US intelligence is so precise that they can’t do it in secret and the threat of force is now realized.

– The Gulf States generally love this deal. They saw the JCPOA as empowering Iran to be a bad actor. They see this as a regional deal that pressures Iran to behave and bring stability to the entire region.

– “The full deal will be published soon, but we’re still in the building trust phase.”

Why is Trump waiting to put out the details of the new Iran peace deal?

The media is desperately trying to paint it in the worst possible light.

Predictable.

Do you think the “timing” of the peace deal with Iran is just a coincidence?

Just a coincidence that Trump would attend the G-7 summit right AFTER he announces that Iran agreed to a peace deal?

Why not immediately announce the details?

The Art of War.

Going back to the early 80’s, Iran has been painted as our biggest enemy.
A rogue nation fomenting terrorism and war in the Middle East.
A rogue nation that was also building nuclear weapons.

Our entire history is a lie.

While past presidents and politicians painted Iran’s regime as our sworn enemy, they were ALWAYS funding and arming them.
Proxy wars in the Middle East kept taxpayers money flowing.
Stolen and laundered into our leaders and their puppet masters bank accounts.

George H.W. Bush created this “illusion” of Iran, while at the same time arming them.

Iran Contra.

Here’s what was really exposed and swept under the rug:
————-
“Congress found out about the secret deal and then discovered at least 280 million dollars in secret Swiss bank accounts belonging to the CIA and did nothing about it. This money was outside of Congressional control, and the CIA could use it for whatever they wanted to. This removed all Congressional control or oversight.”

“Why would Congress allow them to get away with this?”
————
The Iran Contra hearings were a “charade.”

While everyone focused on the question of whether or not we should have been arming the Contras and fighting communism….
The real scandal was that the CIA, through Vice President Bush’s office, was secretly funding the CIA outside of Congressional oversight.

But here’s another big lie from history about Iran:

Remember the Beirut bombing?

Excerpt from my article:
—————-
“They had definitive proof that Iran was behind the attack on the Marine barracks that killed 241 Americans.”

“Doesn’t that raise a huge question that nobody seems to be asking?”

“If we knew Iran was behind the killing of 241 Marines, why would we be negotiating to sell arms to them just one year later?”

“You know the answer.”

“It was far more important to protect the drug trade through Nicaragua than it was to protect our Marines. It was also far more important for the CIA to be allowed to control the information flowing to the entire executive branch.”

“They were sacrificed.”

June 17, 2026 – Report: Epstein tried to offer prosecutors dirt on Trump for a deal, but didn’t actually have anything on him

Let’s all take a minute to remember the time when everyone was telling us that Trump and Epstein were besties and that this would be the scandal that finally brought Trump down.

This report is just another in the stack of evidence that Trump and Epstein were more like enemies rather than friendly acquaintances.

From Forbes:

Jeffrey Epstein’s attorneys were in discussions with prosecutors before his death about potentially trying to get him a more lenient sentence if he gave up information that could help them in other cases, The New York Times reported Tuesday — with notes suggesting Epstein wanted to pass along information about President Donald Trump.

Epstein’s whole thing was using underage girls to trap rich and influential people in blackmail schemes.

He knew that Trump was hated by the establishment, so he tried to entice his jailers with the possibility of dirt on the president.

But, guess what, nothing happened!

The New York Post has even more details:

Child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein tried to dig up dirt on President Trump in a desperate bid for leniency in the days leading up to his suicide, but was unable to deliver anything of substance, according to a report.

Epstein became fixated on the president after he was arrested in 2019, as his lawyers tried to hammer out a deal with prosecutors if the disgraced financier could provide helpful information about other defendants, according to the New York Times.

During his many marathon meetings with his parade of lawyers while he was locked up in a federal jail in Lower Manhattan, Epstein often had his nose buried in a legal pad scrawling disjointed one-liners about the commander-in-chief, such as ‘Trump is a total con artist — smoke & mirrors’ and ‘Never had money.’

The best dirt Epstein had on Trump was … that he isn’t really as rich as he claims?

Honestly, this sounds more like your Trump-Deranged aunt than it does a criminal mastermind.

His scribblings also included grousing about the difficulties he endured as a wealthy ‘Pedophile in jail,’ which he claimed included being denied phone calls and visits, according to the outlet.

People view a timeline of Trump’s relationship with Epstein at “The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room” on the exhibit’s opening day in Washington, DC, on June 9, 2026. (Credit: JIM LO SCALZO/EPA/Shutterstock)

(…) Since Trump’s return to the White House in 2025, political opponents who spent four years forgetting that Epstein ever existed have suddenly morphed into Torquemada-level fanatics about the affairs of the late, unlamented Epstein.

As usual for the left, the goal has nothing to do with the truth — Epstein’s associates were overwhelmingly leftish (even if you leave Bill Clinton out of it), and his political contributions all leaned decidedly in the Democratic direction.

The aim of the left instead is to try to link Epstein and his evil to Trump in any way imaginable — to make it appear the two men were friends and that Trump is somehow tainted with Epstein’s crimes. But the magazine report does exactly the opposite.

In fact, Trump’s name comes up only five times in the report’s nearly 150 paragraphs, twice as a means of establishing another person’s identity (former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, former Trump Attorney General Robert Barr), and three times in phrases that make it clear Epstein was anything but a friend of the man who’s now in the Oval Office.

In one paragraph describing the methodology behind the mammoth report, the article stated:

“We obtained about a dozen pages of other notes handwritten by Epstein in jail that were also previously unseen — including some in which he tried and failed to come up with significant information he might have on Donald Trump to offer to prosecutors,” the report stated. (Emphasis added.)

In another paragraph, buried deep in the report, the article notes that:

“His attorneys discussed with federal prosecutors the prospect of a proffer: giving them information that might be useful in other cases in exchange for the possibility of some leniency in his own. Epstein was particularly preoccupied with what he might have on Donald Trump, who was then serving his first term in office. Jotting on a legal pad, he returned to the president again and again, trying to dredge up anything to offer prosecutors. But his scribblings — ‘Trump is a total con artist — smoke & mirrors’ and ‘Never had money’— suggest that he could come up with little that wasn’t already known.” (Emphasis added.)

Handwritten Epstein Notes Found, Confirm He Wanted to Hurt Trump as Badly as Possible, Wasn’t Friend at All

June 17, 2026 – A Chicago cross burning hate hoax is committed by an Asian, anti-Trump leftist; put a MAGA hat on top of cross

(…) “University of Illinois Chicago senior Merlin Lu said he knew the implications of a burning cross and had placed a MAGA hat atop the cross, explaining his motivation was to protest Trump administration injustice — not something racist,” reports local media.

The 21-year-old admits he “did know about this historical relevance beforehand.” Then he claims, “I didn’t know the severity, how racially motivated it may seem from what I did.”

You’re in college at the height of the Woke Era and you’re claiming to not understand how visceral the sight of burning cross is? Please, son.

Merlin Lu

The far-left cross burner added that “he was protesting what he calls MAGA Christian nationalist supporters and the Trump administration ‘ruling class.’”

When asked how he spent all those years in college and still failed to learn what a burning cross meant, Lu said: “I just saw the Wikipedia page with the movie with the, like, I think it’s called like ‘Under One Nation,’ or something like that.”

Nobody believes that.

I also don’t believe his claim that he put a MAGA hat at the top of the cross to make it clear he was protesting Trump. I think he put the hat there to frame Trump supporters, never expecting to get caught by cameras as he ran from the scene.

(…) Sounds like Merlin Lu might make a perfect executive director of the SPLC.

You know, if we could eliminate the Democrat Party’s hate hoaxes and close down the demonic SPLC, that might put a permanent end to racism in America.

June 17, 2026 – A Rape Gang Inquiry Report claims mostly Pakistani grooming gangs operated in 149 UK local authority areas since the 1950’s

Inquiry highlights Britain’s treatment of grooming gangs as a series of local scandals when they were actually a national phenomenon

An independent report into group-based child sexual exploitation has claimed that organised grooming networks operated in at least 149 local authority areas across the United Kingdom, raising fresh questions about the true scale of the abuse and whether it was treated for too long as a series of isolated scandals rather than a national problem.

The findings were published by the non-statutory Rape Gang Inquiry, a separate initiative established by campaigners and parliamentarians. Its executive summary argues that organised abuse networks operated across a far wider geographical area than previously acknowledged, with victims allegedly trafficked between towns and cities over several decades.

The report’s authors contend that public attention has often focused on a handful of high-profile cases in places such as Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford, while failing to recognise what they describe as a much broader pattern of offending across the country.

Why the Inquiry Says the Problem Was National

According to the report, evidence gathered from court records, witness testimonies and previous investigations suggests organised exploitation occurred in at least 149 local authority districts.

The inquiry argues that offenders frequently operated across local authority boundaries, moving victims between different towns and cities and exploiting weaknesses in communication between police forces, social services and other agencies.

Its authors claim this allowed abuse networks to avoid detection for extended periods and contributed to repeated safeguarding failures. The report describes grooming gangs as a national issue rather than a collection of disconnected local scandals.

However, the figure of 149 local authority areas has not been independently verified by the government’s ongoing statutory inquiry, which is continuing to gather evidence using its formal investigative powers. (Read more: International Business Times, 6/16/2026)  (Archive)

A few of you will know that I am one of the girls who contributed evidence to the @rapeganginquiry report released earlier today.

I initially hid my identity because I never intended to speak about it in public or for anyone to know the horror of what I experienced.

But I feel it is now time that people understood what is driving me so hard in this fight.

I don’t need to go into details. I’m sure everyone gets the gist by now. I believe the time for talking is done; now is the time for action.

The GE 2029 is the last real opportunity we have to save our country and ensure the protection and preservation of our people.

A @RestoreBritain government will reverse the damage done to our society by repealing destructive laws, shunning ideological obscenities, and deporting those who seek to do us harm.

And this is just for starters.

It is therefore incumbent on every British man and woman to now stand and defend our nation by backing the only political solution we have left.

If we stay united in this, if we stay focused and undeterred, there is no doubt in my mind about what comes next.

We will win.

And together, as a nation, we will

June 17, 2026 – Canadian PM Mark Carney warns of a “global rupture” as the post–Cold War rules-based order breaks down

Ahead of the G7 in Evian, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned of a “global rupture” as the post–Cold War rules-based order breaks down, a claim the episode argues was underscored by Donald Trump’s summit remarks suggesting Syria should handle Hezbollah if Israel cannot without “killing everyone else,” and criticizing Israel’s actions in Lebanon.

The script says Trump’s approach reflects a sovereignty-based foreign policy that bypasses imperial proxies and multilateral institutions, highlighted by direct engagement with “the full spectrum” of the Iranian system to secure an Iran memorandum of understanding and by prioritizing Gulf leaders in public time.

It argues the real target is dismantling the “terror premium” on oil tied to Strait of Hormuz threats, and portrays Europe’s Ukraine pledges as unfunded, citing Britain’s defense leadership resignations over lack of money, fueling Carney’s alarm.

June 18, 2026 – Tulsi Gabbard releases new documents that prove Fauci funded Wuhan Lab research that sparked COVID

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the Intelligence Community (IC) to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus’ lab-leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. These documents expose Fauci’s direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID-19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024, when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research.

The materials released today are a result of DNI Gabbard’s yearlong declassification review in support of President Trump’s maximum transparency mandate.

HOLY CRAP! DNI Tulsi Gabbard has shocked the deep state by on her last day in office releasing bombshell files that Dr. Fauci used TAX DOLLARS to fund the WUHAN LAB responsible for COVID and millions of deaths

And he purposefully covered it up.

HE LIED TO CONGRESS! Fauci deserves charges!

Tulsi is a patriot 🇺🇸

“Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.”

“Dr. Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, alongside his hand-picked so-called experts, pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural animal origin to hide his dangerous gain of function research that he funded using taxpayer dollars.”

“All of this in a deliberate attempt to cover up the truth and shift the blame and attention away from Fauci’s own actions.”

“The tactics that were used to hide the truth are straight from the Deep State playbook. Politicized self-serving leaders, like Dr. Fauci, covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected president by restricting his access to the vital facts he needed to keep the country safe.”

Little has been said about the Intelligence Community covering up for Fauci:

June 18, 2026 – 15 illegal aliens are charged in Boston for defrauding public benefits systems; Americans “boxed out” of collecting their own benefits due to ID theft

Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald on today’s fraud crackdown announcement in Boston:

“Illegal immigration carries real and substantial costs to American taxpayers and places enormous strain on our public benefits systems. And the further we look, the more fraud we find. Under the leadership of @POTUS, @VP, Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche, and the @WHFraudTF, @TheJusticeDept and our fraud-fighting partners are aggressively pursuing fraud no matter how small, no matter how big, and no matter how hard. We will follow the facts and the law to bring criminal actors to justice, regardless of the perpetrator’s citizenship, immigration status, position or title.”

Justice Department CHARGES 11 ILLEGAL ALIENS Among 15 in $1.4M Benefit Fraud Crackdown in Massachusetts

“These cases highlight a broader, deeply troubling pattern: the exploitation of America’s safety-net by illegal aliens,” said Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald. “Fraud by illegal aliens carries real and substantial costs to American taxpayers and places enormous strain on our public benefits systems. The Fraud Division remains laser-focused on rooting out fraud — whether committed by illegal aliens or anyone else — and recovering money wrongfully taken from the American people.”

NOW: It’s been confirmed that ILLEGAL ALIENS are being allowed to obtain taxpayer-funded welfare in blue states — which then lets them get welfare from ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS because they got their foot in the door with STOLEN AMERICAN IDENTITIES

DEMOCRATS SAID IT DOESN’T HAPPEN!

AAG COLIN MCDONALD: “Illegal aliens stealing the identities of Americans to then steal from America. 11 of the 15 charged defendants are suspected to be unlawfully present in the United States.”

“They would assume the identities of Americans and then go to the various benefit programs to sign up for these programs and once they got in the door with one program, that then opened up the buffet of benefit programs to them such that they could receive benefits with respect to food, housing, disability, health care, and the full range of benefits.”

June 18, 2026 – DEI contractors protest the grand opening of Obama’s presidential library after they were “stiffed” for $ millions

WOW! People needed an *ID* to get into Barack Hussein Obama’s trash can library today, and the black contractors say Hussein STIFFED THEM — didn’t even pay yet

Aren’t IDs racist?!

WATTERS: “Barry built a billion-dollar vanity project, booked celebrities to serenade them, and didn’t pay the black construction workers.”

“This isn’t Donald Trump. This is Barack Hussein Obama who did that.”

“Everything they’ve been yelling at Trump for, narcissism, hideous, egotistical architecture, being over budget. Barry’s been doing it the whole time in Chicago. Trump’s building big, beautiful things!” 🔥
